Reviews for Fiesta Ravioli(8)
Sort By :
This was delicious! I used Trader Joe's Beef Bolognese Ravioli (fresh not frozen). I also heated the salsa, sauce and olives in the pasta pot while the ravioli were draining. I mixed in the ravioli and poured it in a greased 9x13 pan; sprinkled the cheese on top, and put in a 350 oven for about 10 minutes to melt and get bubbly. I will definitely make this again.
Fast, easy recipe, nice and hearty. I add a can of corn and a can of black beans (drained and rinsed), and also bit more salsa (maybe 1/4 cup). While the ravioli are cooking, I mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl (except the cheese), then add the ravioli when they are done. After that, I put it in a large baking dish (13x9) and top with the cheese. Pop it in the oven to get bubbly and then it's good to go!
This was soooo good!!! Made it just as the recipe called for, except that I didn't bother heating the sauce and the salsa in another skillet - I just heated it in the pot that I cooked the ravioli in while the ravioli was draining. This is definitely on the cheesy side so I think you could cut back a bit on the cheese if you wanted to... Also, I thought this was the perfect meat:pasta ratio so I can't really imagine adding other meats to it. This was a very hearty/heavy dish - it was great served with a tossed salad with a salsa/ranch dressing. Will definitely make it again!
We added some leftover sausage and chicken thighs which made for a heartier recipe-and very delicious. Quick and easy, too!
This is easy to make & tastes very good. My 11 year old loves it!

Wal-Mart Abroad: How a Retail Giant Fueled Growth With Bribes
Part One revealed how Wal-Mart's highest executives shut down an internal investigation that had uncovered strong evidence of systemic bribery by Wal-Mart's largest foreign subsidiary, Wal-Mart de Mexico. As a result, authorities were never notified and no one was punished. Instead, the executive identified as the driving force behind years of bribery was promoted to vice chairman of Wal-Mart. Part Two offered an in depth examination of precisely how Wal-Mart de Mexico used bribes to accelerate its growth. The article described Wal-Mart as "an aggressive and creative corrupter" in Mexico, and it focused on how Wal-Mart paid more than $200,000 in bribes to build a single supermarket in the town of Teotihuacán, not far from two ancient pyramids.

NC Auto Inspection's-Failing the Test
Every year, North Carolina auto owners must take vehicles to private garages for state-mandated safety and emissions testing meant to prevent traffic crashes and curb pollution. Drivers cannot put a car on the road legally unless it passes inspection. A review inspection data showed the program is undermined by unscrupulous garages who do a volume business, passing unsafe cars, and by other who take bribes or cheat customers with uncessary repairs.

I Lit the Fire: Jared Petrovich Admits His Role in the Killing of John Chamberlain. But why did he target the gay?
These four articles probed the culture of violence at tTheo Lacy Men's Jail in Orange, CA, beginning with an exclusive interview of Jared Petrovich, the accuse ringleader of the Oct. 5, 2006 murder of John Chamberlain, an inmate suspected of child molestation who was brutally beated inside the jail. That story included combined interviews with Petrovich and other inmates and guards at the facility with transcripts and notes of interviews with inmates and guards that the reporter obtained from lawyers representing inmates, including Petrovich, who were charged in the attack. The article contained allegations that Deputy Kevin Taylor, a prison guard who was never charged in the crime, told Petrovich that Chamberlain was a child molester, and that Taylor routinely use inmates like Petrovich to enforce prison rules and mete out punishment to various inmates. Petrovich provided an example of this behavior that I did not include in my original story, alleging that Taylor had known about--and approved--a previous beating of an inmate in Sept. 2006. He only knew the inmate's first name--Mark--but claimed the inmate had been a guitarist for the rock band Kiss. He claimed another inmate, nicknamed "Sick Dog" had witnessed Taylor being informed of the planned attack and, after it was carried out, rewarding the inmates with sack lunches. Through a California Public Records Act request, the reporter obtained the Sheriff Department's jail file on the beaten inmate, Mark Leslie Norton, aka Mark St. John of the rock band Kiss, and found information which corroborated Petrovich's account of the incident, and obtained his death certificate. St. John died of a brain hemorrhage several months after being released.

A fifth (21%) of APAC-based marketers reported earlier this year that they planned to increase their investment in marketing automation technology over the next 12 months.
To address this growing area of focus for the region's marketers, Econsultancy teamed up with emarsys to produce the Marketing Automation in Asia Pacific Best Practice Guide.

Marketing automation solutions alone cannot get you the marketing performance transformation you're hoping for - you need to get the company culture and skills aligned with it for true success.

Lead generation marketers are remarkably lucky. If your peers in ecommerce run a series of utterly brilliant A/B or multivariate tests for conversion optimization (CRO), the most they can expect is a 20-something sales lift. (Heavy testers like Dell are thrilled when a test wins single-digit additional sales.) But, lead generation marketers can expect a much higher impact.
In fact, the average lead generation CRO campaign results in a 40-something conversion lift. As in 40% or more leads generated from the exact same traffic.
You can optimize every aspect of your lead generation pages – however, we've noticed the highest response lift often comes when you tweak your form.
Forms aren't sexy.Most marketers would prefer to focus on creative things like images or copy. Testing creative does help of course; but your form is where the real action is.
Don't let your IT team slap up a routine form on your lead generation landing pages, optimize it.
Here are three Case Studies to give you ideas to get started:

Overlays, screens that appear on top of a web page a visitor is browsing, are taking over as the most powerful way to gather email opt-ins from new visitors.
Thousands of sites use them, ranging from publishers such as The Motley Fool, to ecommerce sites like Joss & Main, and even Hilary Clinton's last presidential campaign site.
Generally, a site with an overlay garners up to 400% more email opt-ins than a site that relies on an in-line form will.
To put that another way, if your site's opt-in form gets a .5% opt-in rate now, adding an overlay could bring you a 4% opt-in rate or higher.
How can you make your overlays get an even better response rate? Happily, overlays are fairly easy to run A/B tests on.
Here are three examples to inspire you...

Most companies involved in lead generation spend a considerable amount of time thinking about, well, lead generation, with an emphasis on generation.
Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is that far more organizations have mastered the art of generating leads than have mastered the science of converting leads into sales.

In 2011, marketers began saying that "content marketing is more important than advertising" and given the growth of content marketing in 2012, it would appear that they meant what they said.
And not just in the consumer space. Although selling content marketing to leadership has been a challenge for some B2B marketers, the use of content marketing at B2B organizations is growing rapidly.

As a general rule in digital, it seems that when Google and Yahoo get involved in something it is a pretty good sign that it is important.
After many years of skirting around the fringes of performance marketing, recent product launches from these two online advertising behemoths leave no doubt that Online lead generation is finally ready to step out of the shadows and into the limelight.

Product 22/99
Field Accountant Richard TSsuh has just one task: get his spacecraft docked so that everyone on-board can get paid. Thanks to his Captain taking time to fulfill her 'personal needs', there's no room to park and the crew is about to mutiny. Rich has got a clever solution to the problem. Too bad it just might end his career and, possibly, his life.Excerpt:That morning I could find nowhere to park, but what else did you expect on planetary pay-day? If the captain hadnt been so busy sweet-talking the Duranian ambassador last night, we wouldnt have been in this position now. That is, half a work cycle from the interface zone and still cruising for a gap in the crowds. At this rate, we were never going to make the Fiscal Encounter Annual Rendezvous (FEAR for short) and I, Field Accountant Richard TSsuhRich to my friendswould be trapped, tortured, torn limb from limb and cast into the outer darkness of space by the furious and impoverished crew. Which would be pretty cold for a start.Already I could sense the growing impatience of the bridge officers behind methe whispered rasp of scales on skin, the flutter of ruffled feathers, the hesitant grumbling of the twin-folk. Never trust any species who only travel in twos, my father always used to say, and he was right.Richard? Whats happening? The captains sultry voice echoed through the recycled air. We should be parking by now.Yes, Captain. I risked a glance behind and saw Captain Suluki running one elegant hand through her long blonde hair and smiling. Must have been a good night with the ambassador then. That would explain a lot. Its just that were a little behind schedule and weve lost our parking space.Which is all your fault, I wanted to add but didnt. After all, I had my career to think of. If she hadnt been late on duty today, we wouldnt be in this life-threatening situation now.The captain harrumphed, and a swish accompanied by a sudden wave of Duranian perfume told me shed got up to stand next to me, and was adjusting her tunic. The perfume smelt of dying flowers. Mustnt have had time to shower, I thought.Lost our space? she snarled, a strand of hair brushing against my cheek. Lets see if we can get it back then. Its highway hell out there. Worse than usual by the looks of it.Following her gaze to the viewing screen, I had to agree she was right. Hundreds of space ships in all shapes and sizes were crowding round the tiny planet, which had been set aside years ago for processing the annual payment schedules in the sector. It used to be called Earth, but that soon changed to Efficient Accountancy Response To Hyperspace, or Effi, for short. To be honest, I used to live there myself, but its not something you admit to in polite society these days. Not if you want to get on. My official birth record lays claim to Mars.Yes, I said, but you have to remember that no one was paid last year because of the Duranian Wars of Finance. We were all too busy fighting or hiding. So everyone wants to get there first thing this morning for the two years pay theyre owed. I did mention it last night, Captain. If you remember ?

Smith Galaxy & Cosmos Jr
Smith Galaxy & Cosmos Jr
fabulous, saved my brain!
I was skiing when I slipped on ice, fell and smacked my head. I got concussion and a nose injury , if I hadn't been wearing my helmet I would have probably got brain damage and my mum wouldn't have been very happy!!!. The styling was great as well, the colour worked well and the attached goggles were really funky.
18 April 2013
Its cute and comfortable, but would prefer more flexibility with the goggles
The helmet is super cute! My kids loved it. Also very padded and comfortable. I thought the attached goggles was a good idea, which is ok. I just wish it also had a hook on the back so that kids could easily wear a different pair of goggles. It doesn't have a hook, so strap would slip.

Save Money Making Your Own Custom Doors!
Anyone that has built or remodeled a house, or replaced a solid wood door, knows how expensive high quality raised panel doors can be – especially if they are made of cabinet-grade hardwoods like Oak, Cherry, or Mahogany. Now you don't need a heavy-duty shaper to cut beautiful raised panels, or to cut the Rail and Stile joints of the door frame. Freud's 3 piece Interior and Exterior Door Router Bit Set is designed for use with table mounted routers capable of accepting 1/2" shank router bits (heavy-duty 2-1/2 to 3-1/2hp routers are recommended).
Unlike most door cutting router bits that form a 1/2" long stub tenon and are more suitable for use building cabinet doors, Freud Door System bits can mill a standard 2-1/2" long (or longer) stub tenon, which greatly increases the strength and durability of the door frame. After milling the end grain on the rails, and without altering the bit height, the top bearing and cutter are removed from the specially designed Rail cutting bit. The remaining, "flat-top" Rail profile bit (shown to the left) is then used to deepen the profile until the desired tenon length is created. Of course, mating mortises are required in the door Stiles – these are commonly formed using dedicated mortising machines, mortising attachments for a drill press, plunge cutting routers, or by hand with chisels.
Interior and Exterior Door Freud router bits can be used with almost any desired raised panel design. The rail and stile bits create a 3/8" (for interior doors) to 5/8" (for exterior doors)thick groove for the double-sided door panels. Some makers use two thin, back-to-back panels in doors, which helps eliminate the affects of seasonal moisture changes due to the climate differences experienced by the inner and outer faces of exterior door panels.
Freud's Interior and Exterior Door Router Bits can make doors 1-3/8" and 1-3/4" thick by simply changing the number of shims used. It is available as a set of three bits including the RS99-267 Rail & Stile bits shown, along with either the PR99-515 Bevel or the PR99-518 Cove Raised Panel Bit, or as a two piece set which includes a matched pair of Interior / Exterior door Rail and Stile router bits. Comprehensive instructional materials included with the sets include a DVD video and a handy wall chart. Freud router bits are made in Italy.

This Hawaiian-themed eatery right below the El Paso Star boasts an outdoor lanai replete with lush palm trees and a cascading waterfall.

Illustrator's Blend Tool: A Comprehensive Guide
Tutorial Details
- Program: Illustrator
- Difficulty: Beginner
- Completion Time: 30 minutes
Download Source Files
A few times a each month we revisit some of our reader's favorite posts from throughout the history of Vectortuts+. This tutorial by Simona Pfreundner was first published on November 14th 2008.
In Adobe Illustrator, the Blend Tool can help you create impressive color blends. But there is more to it than you might know. This comprehensive guide can help you unlock your creative potential and teaches the features, shortcuts, and in depth methods that the Blend Tool has to offer.
If you are using Illustrator for detailed imagery creation, the Blend Tool can be your most important tool. Compared to the Gradient Mesh Tool, the Blend Tool is a Live tool, meaning that you can change its object or shape, its color or position, and the blend will be updated live. You can create blends either with the Blend Tool or the Make Blend command. One thing to remember though, the Blend Tool takes a lot of RAM, so it may slow down your computer.
Exercise File
Below is an screenshot of the Exercise file that accompanies this tutorial, and is available to PLUS Members. Want access to the full Vector Source files, Vector Packs, Exercise files, and downloadable copies of every tutorial, including this one? Join VECTORTUTS PLUS for just $19/month.
1. The Blend Tool
Overview and Keyboard Shortcuts (see image below for Menu items):
- Blend Tool (W)
- Blend selected paths or shapes (Ctrl + Alt + B)
- Release blend (Shift + Ctrl + Alt + B)
- Expand to make blend permanent
- Reverse Spine to flip a blend
- Replace Spine to apply a different path
- Reverse Front to Back to reverse the stacking position of blends (useful for animation)
2. Blends with Various Shapes
You can make a blend between open paths like lines
Or between closed paths like shapes
And blends between blends
3. Blend Options Palette
Under Object > Blend > Blend Options, you will find different settings that you can apply:
Smooth Color
Specified Steps
Specified Distance
4. Applying Blends with the Blend Tool (W)
When selecting the Blend Tool (W), you can easily morph two or multiple colors together. Also, by clicking on the corner points of a shape instead of the middle, you can morph the shape into a mirrored object.
5. Blending Different Shapes
When morphing two or more different shapes together, you can easily built up complex objects.
6. Blending Shapes with Different Gradients
You can blend two shapes with a different gradient and achieve some neat effects. These objects can be used as backgrounds or part of more complex shapes you are creating.
7. Aligning blends Along a Path
Once you applied a Blend, you can modify the path that the blend runs along.
Along a path with Specified Steps
Along a path with Smooth Color
Along a path with Specified Distance
8. Replace Spine Option
Once you have created a blend, you can change the path that it runs along. Just create a path to your liking, select both the path and the blend and go to Object > Blend > Replace Spine.
9. Align to Path or Page
Once you have created a blend and applied a specific path, it can be important that in the Blend Option Palette you choose the correct options.
10. Reverse Spine
If you want to have a spine reversed, for example have a gradient blend run reverse, you can achieve this by selecting your blend and going to Object > Blend > Reverse Spine.
11. Creating Highlights With Blends
You can create some neat highlights for shapes with blends. Especially where the Gradient Tool doesn't work so well.
12. The Possibilities are Endless!
When working with blends, you can create some really interesting stuff. You can even blend symbols, outlined fonts, or brushes. Remember though that blends are RAM suckers and your AI file could get heavy. Nevertheless, they can save you time and help you create some awesome effects.
Below is an illustration that I made quite a while back. The Blend Tool was next to the Gradient Tool as one of my most important tools in creating this piece. Have fun using the Blend Tool in your work.

Gas prices zoomed past $4 a gallon Friday throughout the Bay Area just days after the Chevron refinery fire, adding a new financial challenge to the region's slowly recovering economy.
By Friday evening, the average price for a gallon of gasoline had climbed to $4.14 in San Francisco, $4.07 in Santa Clara County and $4.05 in the East Bay, according to the online site GasBuddy. Those prices were all higher than even Friday morning and were 5 to 7 cents higher than Thursday's average. And average prices have shot up about 25 cents, or roughly 6 percent, in just one week.
"It's sticker shock when you see those $4 prices up on the sign," said Scott Anderson, chief economist with San Francisco-based Bank of the West. "If prices remain at this level, you will find it harder for consumers to maintain their spending on things other than fuel."
The spike in gasoline prices is unlikely to tip the national or Bay Area economy into a second recession. But it will squeeze consumers and comes just as the economy has seen some improvements in the housing market and an upswing in jobs.
There's more bad news: Prices at the pump are likely to spike higher in the Bay Area over the coming days, GasBuddy warned in its survey.
"You will see people cut back on a lot of things," said Jordan Levine, director of economic research with Beacon Economics. "Retail sales, spending on leisure activities such as going out to eat. They will cut back on travel plans."
In fact, some already are. "Gasoline is just going up and up," said Taylor Carlin, a San Jose resident who was filling up at a station in San Jose where gas was selling for $4.25. "I've had to cut back. I'm spending less on other things like food."
Joe Hengst, a San Francisco resident, said he had to cancel a visit to relatives.
"We were going to drive to Montana but we can't go because of the price of gasoline," Hengst said. "We can't afford to go."
Prices jumped throughout California, which now has a statewide average of $4.02, GasBuddy reported. A gas station in the Mono County city of Bridgeport was above $5 a gallon, the survey found.
Nationally, a gallon of gas at the pump has climbed to $3.67, a rise of 34 cents since July 1.
"This is going to hurt the economy," said Joel Naroff, president of Pennsylvania-based Naroff Economic Advisors. "It will be a problem, especially since so much of the economy depends on consumer spending."
Despite the damage to the economy, economists do not expect the gas price spike to lead to a fresh major downturn.
"By itself, this will not tip the scales back into recession," Levine said.
Jon Haveman, chief economist with the Bay Area Council's Economic Institute, believes the effects could be temporary if the price spikes don't last a long time.
"It may be more of a case of spending delayed rather than spending forgone," Haveman said.
An increase in crude oil prices and problems with refineries and pipelines on the West Coast and in the Midwest, including Monday's fire in Richmond, are mostly to blame, analysts said.
The fire at the refinery, which produces 20 to 25 percent of the gasoline for Northern California, damaged the crude distillation unit. Crude Unit No. 4 provides the first step in transforming crude oil into motor fuels and other transportation fuels and products.
The damaged unit, the only one of its kind at the refinery, supplies most of the feedstock that other production units require later in the refining process.
Analysts said the damage to the refinery could push Northern California gas prices higher for the rest of 2012 and perhaps into 2013.
"The longer it lasts, the bigger the impact," Anderson said. "You will see ripple effects and eventually you will see less hiring."

The staff members at Sylvan Learning's numerous centers understand that each child learns differently. Therefore, they don't try to implement a uniform tutoring system; instead, they design custom lesson programs based on the results of a skills assessment using diagnostic tools and one-on-one interviews.
Tutors work with students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12, illuminating topics ranging from basic reading and writing to remembering complex algebraic formulas without having them tattooed on your chest. Many of Sylvan's instructors work in local schools, so they are intimately familiar with common curricula and understand how to gear lessons toward optimal results. Camps and after-school and summer classes can ready high-schoolers for the rigors of the ACT or the SAT, or they can help students to wow college-admissions officers with their superior essay-writing skills.
At Kids U, upbeat instructors camouflage learning as playtime. They invite youngsters and parents into a kid-size gym that jump starts imagination with vibrant colors and a multitiered PlayQuad. The 17-foot playground spans 2,000 square feet of indoor space, where children explore tunnels and soar in swings. At classes, teachers inject freestyle play with structure while still allowing for creativity. The small, laid-back sessions cover subjects that range from gymnastics to cooking and building with LEGOs, all while interweaving themes such as teamwork and motor skills. The instructors pioneer similar subjects in three-hour day camps, molded around the Summer Olympics. Kids U's parties combine the fun center's two signature styles of recreation—freestyle fun in the PlayQuad and ordered activities—according to chosen themes, which, like concepts kicked around for the White House Correspondents' dinner, include Rock Star and Pajama Party.
Believing that learning and behavioral disorders stem from improper communication between brain hemispheres, Brain Balance Centers offers a drug-free, multi-faceted system to boost brain function. Physical and cognitive exercises combine with easy-to-follow dietary changes to improve social, academic and behavioral issues associated with ADHD, Asperger's, and other social and learning disorders without the use of medication. Now more than 50 Brain Balance Centers practice this Hemispheric Integration Therapy, with professional teams tailoring programs to help kids improve focus and behavior, academic performance, communication, and social skills.
Since 2002, Rock House's system of musical instruction—which comprises DVDs, books, and Web-based lesson support—has helped aspiring rock stars to master strumming guitars, plucking basses, and tickling keyboards to a variety of different genres. Several renowned blues, rock, and metal artists have participated in the Rock House program, including members of Megadeth, The Gary Hoey Band, and Parliament-Funkadelic. In addition to their training materials, Rock House also certifies instructors at local music centers so they can conduct one-on-one private lessons tailored to enhancing students' strengths and neutralizing their weaknesses, such as the inability to destroy a guitar on the first smash.
A family-owned-and-operated hub for health, Topanga Training & Fitness and The Spa Loft cast a caring canopy shade over all things feel-good. The club offers challenging group classes in mat pilates ($18 per class) and indoor and outdoor boot camp ($275 for 15 sessions), as well as nutritional counseling ($200) and personal training ($64–$76 per 60-min. session) geared toward each individual and their stage in life. Fitness Over 50 sessions help clients counteract the physical impacts of aging by using training techniques that improve endurance, balance, time traveling, and flexibility. Pregnancy and Beyond sessions (personal training and pilates) follow the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' guidelines to supply future moms with specialized-fitness advice and supervision, ensuring both the bun and the oven stay at safe temperatures.
There may be a lot of playtime at The Language Workshop for Children, but don't think the students aren't learning; during classes, instructors use songs, games, toys, and more to teach children the basics of tongues such as French, Spanish, and Chinese.
The Language Workshop is the brainchild of François Thibaut, who created the school in 1973 after years of observing how children learned languages. In the same vein, instructors understand that even infants can pick up a second language, and they teach anyone from 6 months to 9 years old in group classes, with private lessons available for older students in certain locations.
