Colossal Pasteurized Crab Meat, a Colossal Mistake?
- ideabaker Dec 19, 2008 05:23 AM
I impulsively spent big bucks on a large tin of thumb-tip sized chunks of colossal pasteurized crab meat which has been sitting in my fridge (read-taking up a lot of space) for at least a month now because I don't know what to do with it. I've sifted through the CH boards and also Epicurious and other sites to no avail. Does anyone have any tips about what to do with the crabmeat, short of throwing it on salads for thirty consecutive days? Can I make crabcakes with it? (It is already pre-cooked and says it can be eaten straight from the can.)
I have found lots of negative feedback on pasteurized crab meat in general online, but I have to use it, or it will go to waste. Am hoping I haven't made a colossal mistake with my money buying so much of it.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts...
re: bnemes3343
It is Phillips hand picked crab meat, the can doesn't say anything else, other than "keep refrigerated". All of the crab cake recipes I have call for using raw crab. Would I adjust the cooking time for crab cakes since the meat is already cooked, and if so, how does that affect the egg used to bind them?
re: bnemes3343
Ok, visited the site Steady Habits recommended and it says "Our meat is hand-picked from the blue swimming crab, Portunus-spp., which is caught in the wild in and around the bountiful rich waters of Southeast Asia."
IF this is canned pasteurized crab, and it has been refrigerated constantly and you have NOT opened the tin yet, it has a keeping life of about six months in the coldest part of your refrigerator.
Once you open the tin, it's no different than fresh crab and should be discarded if not used within a couple of days. (You may run into a few sites that say three to five days, at the outside, but I think that's pushing it. Personally, I wouldn't go past forty-eight hours. It's seafood, after all.)
It is freezable, but should be frozen within partially prepared foods for best possible texture, etc.
In addition to bnemes suggestions, you could make bisques (should be able to freeze them, right?), gumbos, callaloos, spring rolls, Newburgs, Crab Mornay ("straight-up" or florentined), mousses, puffs...
Here's information from a source whose name anybody who has lived in Maryland east of DC will know. My point being, I trust them as crab experts:
Make sure you check out the recipes on the site!
re: Steady Habits
Thanks Steady Habits, I didn't realize Phillips had a website. I am on the way to check it out! I bought the crab at my local fish market where they keep it in a very cold fridge. I was told by them that it keeps for a year; there is no expiration date on the can. I'm glad to hear I can use it in recipes that call for uncooked crab (i.e. crabcakes) and will try using them for that. I bet they have a delish recipe on the site!
re: ideabaker
I just bought some pastuerized crab that has a date of maybe a year (but I'm using it Christmas Eve) Wish it was Phillips, they are very well regarded for their quality. No, I just got some cheap Chinese stuff, hope we don't die!! I'm mixing it with some cream cheese etc and putting in artichoke bottoms and baking it for one of many, many fish apps that night. No fresh crab around here, this is one everyone had on sale right now. Now I'm sorry I didn't seek out Phillips!
re: coll
You're not missing anything by not getting Phillips. They don't use blue crab, they use Asian swimmer crabs, which are not the same thing. I'd bet your Chinese crab is the exact same thing.
I wouldn't use the Asian swimmer crab in anything where I wanted the crab flavor predominant, it's just not there. If you want to make decent crab cakes, seek out domestic blue crab from Maryland (scarce), N. Carolina, Texas or Louisiana.
Here's a link to the Faidley's crab cake recipe, thought by many people (including me) to be the best in Baltimore: http://www.crabcakeguy.com/faidleys-w...
Also, here's a link to a fairly long article by Henry Hong that explains in detail the difference between the swimmer crab and the blue crab, including some details on what the despicable Phillips is doing to mislead consumers: http://www.citypaper.com/news/story.a...
The Phillips factory is about a mile from my house in South Baltimore, and I raise my middle finger to it every time I pass by. Trust me, there's a clear and present difference between imported and domestic crab.
re: JonParker
Thanks for easing my mind! Onward to Christmas Eve, I know nobody is going to be analyzing the food that closely.
re: JonParker
I don't know about crab, but along the same lines as your frustration re that, it drives me crazy that's it like a scavenger hunt to buy American shrimp now.
No offense to Thailand, but I don't want frozen Thai tiger shrimp.
I want plump fresh shrimp that my fellow citizens have pulled out of the bayous of the Gulf and off the shores of the Carolinas.
My favorite supermarket is the one supermarket I've been in that sells *really* good fish, and prides itself on it. But even it has like three long freezer cases of the farmed stuff from g-dknowswhere in Asia for, like, 3.50 a pound. Ugh. They have a little stash of the good stuff, never frozen, for customers who ask, but they don't put it on display "because it doesn't sell". I'm sure it would if people knew it was there.
re: JonParker
Thanks for the information, JonParker. I only see domestic crab for sale when I fly into Baltimore to visit relatives in the area. It's for sale at the airport, along with little chiller bags to keep the crabmeat cold until you get home. I've never seen it here in Long Island (NY). Lucky you to have access to it!
That said, I will try out the Faidley's recipe with what I have...
re: Steady Habits
I have one that I got at Trader Joe's one can only guess how long ago. It sat in my fridge on the door shelf and I forgot about it. When my son was home for Christmas he spotted it and asked if I'd make crab cakes.
The stamp on the top said it was best used by Oct 2007 (that's not a typo 2007!) but I opened it. It smelled fresh so I gave it a whirl. The crab cakes were delicious and nothing's easier -- just give them a rest of 30 min in the fridge when you mix them up and another one of about an hour when you've formed them. That will help the crumbs really draw up moisture and become an effective binder for the crab. You won't even need egg to spoil the flavor of the crab. Then give them one more roll in dry bread crumbs just before frying. They'll fry up brown and delicious.
re: KiltedCook
KiltedCook, I already had dinner and now you're getting me hungry again! I love crab dishes and these all sound so wonderful. Especially the sausage. Would love to know how labor intensive that is to make, timewise...
This is a kooky idea, much as buying an outfit to go with a new pair of shoes. But it is the holidays. Throw a party. Take some/all of that crab and make a crab salad with some mayo, possibly a little dijon, some crunch veggies of choice, flavorings like lemon, dill, caper, pimento (not necessarily together), and start filling endive leaves, cucumber cups, small tomato halves, or miniature bell pepper cups with it.
re: sasha1
I love that idea, sasha1! 'Tis the season and all. the different veggies with crab salad would create a nice balance of textures and tastes (and would be a feast for the eyes). I certainly bought enough to make at least two or three different kinds of crab salad for stuffing.
Unfortunately 95% of my friends are already on their "lose weight in the New Year" kick so few of them would eat something with full-fat mayo in it. The other stuff (low fat, reduced fat, etc.) just tastes yucky IMO and would very possibly ruin the expensive crabmeat. Is there such a thing as a crab salad that doesn't use mayo? (Or uses very little?)
re: ideabaker
You could try dressing it lightly with lemon juice and a tiny bit of good olive oil. I think the ordinary mayo substitutes like yogurt, buttermilk, would overpower the crab with the sour component. The other consideration is that you can't really get more than a tbsp of crab salad into any of these veggie vessels. So even with full fat mayo, the average calories per hors d'oevres can't be that high.
re: sasha1
Good point about the portion size limiting their intake of mayo. I will try the lemon juice/olive oil mixture in some and see which get eaten first (often people say they are on a health food kick, but still choose the mayo when presented with a choice!). Thanks!
re: ideabaker
I'm glad that your pasteurized crab found a new lease on life ;-).
In follow-up to what sasha said, I *always* cut the mayo in tuna, chicken, pasta salads, etc. by using half olive oil. Now...I don't eat crab (allergies), so you all will have to tell me whether this is right, but I always hear my friends and family raving about how delicate it is. If it is a delicate taste, you might not want to use first cold-pressed olive oil, since it retains the strongest olive taste. Maybe a general purpose olive oil, but from a high-quality producer or distributor?
re: Steady Habits
Steady Habits... I've never tried cutting mayo with anything, do you whisk the oil and the mayo in a bowl until they emulsify, then use with the crab? Or just mix half the mayo into the crab then drizzle in oil until it is just the right consistency? Would canola oil work just as well (no olive taste at all)?
p.s. My condolences on the crab allergies. I hope it doesn't extend to all shellfish! (Though the allergies may be saving you big bucks over a lifetime :-).)
re: ideabaker
No, when I'm making tuna or chicken salad, I don't mess around with emulsifying (though maybe I should). But I'm just making it for us, here at home, for sandwiches or cold salads, so I'm a little lax, maybe. ;-)
Either way. Speaking of when I do want to emulsify, when an acid is involved, I always find a even a small amount (even a teaspoon) of a tasty prepared mustard guarantees success. I don't know if mustard is too strong a flavor for crab, but if a small bit is okay, that's a low-fat ingredient you could add to help cut down on the mayo.
Yes, any mild-flavored, healthful oil would be just fine.
I also cook often with walnut, sesame and Chili oils, but I think from what I hear, they would be too strong for crabmeat.
I can eat and love shrimp. I'm probably pushing it and will develop an allergy to them, which will make me a blue crabby. :-)
re: Steady Habits
Mustard is pretty standard in crab cakes, so that would work. I wouldn't go with a lot or a really strong one though. A mild dijon would work fine.
re: ideabaker
Mayo is already an emulsion. If it's a prepared mayo, you should be able to whisk in the olive oil. If it's a homemade mayo, you could just use olive oil from the start.
Btw, I find that a food processor not only makes quick work of making mayo but the emulsion is almost foolproof.
That said I like sasha1's idea of using lemon and olive oil.
re: ideabaker
The Phillips crabmeat is an economical way to use real crabmeat in stuffings for fish and some other dishes.
Often there are other strong ingredient, such as enough aromatics (onions, celery, spices,etc.), breadcrumbs, cream cheese, sour cream, whatever, that the crabmeat itself isn't front and center.
It's a waste of money to buy top price crabmeat for dips. You're going to mush them up anyway.
Why cook more expensive crabmeat into shreds in gumbo when you can barely taste it among the spices?
By the time a cook makes a simple stuffing with breadcrumbs, onions, celery, and a few herbs, the flavor of the crabmeat is only a part of the orchestra. Phillips will do fine.
re: MakingSense
MakingSense; Good point about mushing up the crabmeat. Especially because the pieces I had were impressively huge.
I just may go pick up another can and try crabcakes with them... they would create big chunks of crab between the minimal binding agents... stay tuned for the update :-).
re: ideabaker
I know I live in Baltimore and am kind of a purist on these things, but no way would I use Phillips to make a crab cake. Please, I beg you, search out some blue crab and use that.
re: JonParker
Ooooh, JonParker, there's no need to be so strict.
Fresh blue crab isn't available - even in Summer - in most of the US.
Even if it is, a lot of crab cake recipes put so much stuff in there, that's it hard to taste the difference in the crabmeat anyway.
The big Acme grocery over in Easton, MD, usually stocks several grades of Phillips and some local hand-picked. Sometimes they offer the Phillips on sale as low as $7.99 or so. That's close to the price of canned albacore!
We can have that for Tuesday night supper. I'm not going to spend $20 for a weeknight supper!
No, it's not the 4-Star restaurant experience, but it makes great crabcake sandwiches with some slaw.
Same thing as when the ladies at the picking sheds sold off the backfin to the brokers and made their own dinner from the clawmeat and the rest of the crab.
Not fancy but damned good eating. Crabcakes were bar food back then.
Long, long before they ever showed up on the menus of frou-frou restaurants.
Notwithstanding the name "Phillips" (a respectable Maryland crab producer), you have a can of pasteurized South Asian crab meat. None of it is raw, it is all cooked. Since pasteurized, it will keep refrigerated for several months. There should be a "use by" date stamped on the can, but it may be very faint. When packed, large jumbo pieces are put on the top and bottom, and regular in between. It will not taste as good as fresh.Maryland or Virginia crab, but if used in crab cakes or imperial, it is OK. I have never seen "colossal" canned crab, but don't be shocked if it is not colossal under the top layer.
re: OldTimer
Well what a surprise when I went to a fancy schmanzy restaurant around here and they served a twenty dollar "crab salad" I ordered it, it was the same colossal pasteurized crab chunks (looks like it is from the shoulder) over a Boston lettuce leaf, about seven pieces, with a honey mustard dipping sauce and regular Shrimp Cocktail Sauce.
Asked for two pieces to take home, and a pint of the honey mustard dipping sauce. Popped open the biggest can I had at home and served it with the sauces as an app. for New Year's Eve dinner. So ridiculously easy and impressive am wondering if I should add this to my rotating schedule of app's. Calculated that for the amount of crab I had, it would've cost $120 in the resto. Hopefully I can keep getting the dipping sauce!
Still want to try the wonderful crab cake and crab salad ideas here. Should I (pray tell) get more of the colossal crab, or try to find fresh? As I said, don't know where to get fresh around here...
re: ideabaker
It looks like you have already popped open the can so this may help for the future when you have a bit of crab and don't know what to do.
We made some great crab cakes with the recipe from America's Test Kitchen: http://www.oprah.com/recipe/food/reci... We backed off on the salt and quantity of Old Bay (more salt), and used panko for bread crumbs.
We have tried both the jumbo humungus $$$ lump and some lump from Trader Joes and both were great. We'll probably go with something in between next time. Also, I picked up some grape seed oil for the pan frying as it has a higher smoke point than the oil I used in the past. Another option is to wrap that crab cake in some founder and bake it for a while.
Another recipe that may come in handy is for Baked Shrimp-Crab Salad over at Foodnetwork.com. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/pa... This one gets panko too.
Here's a discussion on the different grades of crab meat that may help you decide which to use when - http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/279206 Then again, that jumbo lump does taste great in the crab cakes.
One last comment - fresh is great if you know you are going to use it right away. If you don't, that's a lot of $$$ that just went bad in your fridge. The pasteurized will allow you to plan ahead or be spontaneous if you already have some sitting in the fridge.
re: geppetto
Geppetto, such great tips in your post. Thank you!
Just serving the giant lumps of crab plain was a huge hit on NYE, then I was thrust (I am my wine circle's resident cook) into a surprise cozy heavy apps event today. I started with the colossal crab meat again and the leftover (incredible tasting) dip from the restaurant, shrimp cocktail with sauce, English Blue Stilton Cheese (which due to some problems with bacteria or something in one of the major English Stilton houses I had to order shipped on dry ice to my place...< not from the house with the probs>), loads of nuts in my old "nut log" carved from a Midwest American tree in the forties and which my Russian friends find infinitely charming (so do I as my grandparents served nuts from them during the holidays throughout their lives), and cheese fondue with these new Tostito's Multigrain chips (So delicious... but one gram of fat per chip according to the health info on the back. But really, how healthy is the cheese dip anyway?)
Added lots of jarred jalepenos <not as spicy as fresh IMO, particularly when cooked>. I love spice, but, my Northern friends like it down a notch so jarred jalepenos (drained and rinsed) work better for them. Everyone ate the dip (served with those new Tostitos Multigrain chips; hearty and crunchy but not tough, actually, quite light.
The guests ate it like fine caviar... only with more finger licking and slurping.
One more "big cook" until Superbowl...
re: NYchowcook
That quiche sounds lovely... might you share your recipe?
Typically, you only buy Jumbo Lump or Colossal crabmeat to use as a stand alone item, a garnish or to mix a few in to your crabcake mix, like chocolate chips in a cookie.
A great way to serve those colossal pieces of crabmest is to lightly sautee them in butter and garlc. Then serve as an appetizer.
My next best chioice is what you've already mentioned, and that is with a salad.
You can break them up and use for crabcakes , but that is like taking a beef tenderloin and turning it into ground beef. Not the best use, considering the price.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Let me first say that if my daughter didn't have the teacher she does this rating would be a 1. The communication with her teacher is great. The communication with the school in general is terrible. For example I have now signed up for the PTA 4x and paid my $5 fee and have not once received an email or letter from school even noting my interest. No further information has been provided by the school on meetings or any other involvement. The requested parent volunteers for the book fair and I signed up and was never contacted. After attending the book fair I don't think any parents were involved as it was all staff. If you are going to ask for help and you have parents willing to assist then please contact us. That being said my daughter has grown in her abilities. I credit that to her teacher as the overall testing scores are poor even for VA and that says a lot since VA schools Nationwide are poorly rated. There is a truth to what is said that those schools that are in a low income area are not good schools. It's sad and shouldn't be true but it is very obvious here at this school. We feel that the education standard is to low and will be moving to a better location.
I have two students who attend EVS. I have one teacher who responds to my inquires and one teacher who doesn't respond as readily as I'd prefer. The principal is new. I have a some issues w/new procedures she has put into place; however, I understand what she is trying to accomplish. My largest complaint is lack of communication. If the lines of communication were more open, I believe the school would really thrive.
i would recommend this school to everyone. i have one child here and she is doing very good here. if she is having any problems in any area, the teachers and the the principal lets me know, together we find a resolution. they are the best staff i have ever worked with. i have two other girls who went to this school, and they both are a and b students. thanks to all of you at this school.
I have two children who go to Vaughan and my older daughter went there as well. I love this school so much, they have such amazing teachers and staff! I wish more schools were like this. They take time to talk to me about any concerns I have and are excellent with my children!
My child previously attended CCA and left with a reading problem. After having been at EV he is now reading on grade level and working hard to rise above grade level !! THIS SUCCESS is a direct result of the fantastic staff, curriculum, and special attention provided to him !!! HIs reading success is a testament to THEIR successful programs!!! THANK YOU !!!
Elizabeth Vaughn has a great program and great faculty and staff keep up the good work.
I think this a wonderful place to learn i would have gone to this school if i could. My child comes home saying i love this school sooooo much if we mo0ve i wouldnt control myself thanks elizabeth vaughan
I will agree with a post I read; some of the teachers are extremely dedicated and caring.... However, MANY of them are just outright hateful and mean to these children. I have walked down my child's hallway several times and heard teachers practically screaming at these kids. And the principal, that's another joke. Don't even waste your time trying to talk to her about anything, she has a nasty attitude as well. Just go directly to the superintendent with any issues because otherwise they will NOT get resolved (and may not even then). Do NOT send your kids here, bottom line... unless you want their self-esteem ruined and their hearts stomped on.
Outstanding and dedicated staff memebers. They truly went above and beyond for my child. Never has he even liked school before, now he loves it. He's joined a male mentoring group and thinks the world of it. So a big 'shout out' goes to the 5th Grade Team at EVS. You all are the best.
Alot of teachers at this school are good with the children and seem to really care about them. However, you have some who seemingly know only how to yell and be rude to parents. Principal never returns phone calls and/or fixes issues, even when she vows to and a lot of the children are ill-behaved (which I realize is not the school's fault). there are 0 after-school activities (and seemingly very few before school activities).
This school needs a lot of help. It has a large staff/teacher turn over. There is no parent involvement which means they pull teeth to put together some what of a PTO/PTA. The principal has been there for years and has not been able to pull the school toghether. Something has to be done, but I would not recommend this school to anyone.
Great principal and staff, they care about the children. I must say thought they are way behind in resources.
Though I was not the most involved parent in the 2004-2005 school year, I must contradict the last comment made. Every form and flyer ever sent home with my child and the children in our neighborhood had spanish translation on the back side every time whether it was needed or not. Also, every meeting I attended adorned the presence of at least one principal, if not both. And as far as other parents' involvement, the school threw a rather large 'thank you' party for all of the parent volunteers. If I didn't have a heart for this school before, just this act of appreciation and togetherness totally won me over! Any issue ever brought up by myself and ajoining neighbors had full attention of the admin. and results were always evident. Considering the many many many schools we have encountered, I can honestly say that this one gets two thumbs WAY up!
My child started EVS at grade fouth and we had an excellent experience. EVS is an excellent school, where they believe all children can learn.
My child attended only K at EVS before we pulled him out. I want to note the K teacher and aid were both very nice and struggled to involve parents in their classroom. However, I was an active member of the PTA and was very unhappy with both teacher and parent involvement in the school community. The PTA board was unable to fill its positions and the teacher rep, the principal and/or the vp rarely attented meetings. The school was not accommodating of the large Hispanic community and did not translate flyers or notes home into Spanish. The students at the school are warm and welcoming and deserve better administration.

Man sought in pharmacy robbery, attempted robbery
Updated On: May 14 2013 05:11:09 PM EDT

Guns, pot plant seized at site of NC pit collapseBy MITCH WEISS
The Associated Press | April 09,2013AP PHOTO
Authorities work to rescue two children at a construction site Sunday in Stanley, N.C. Two television stations reported that two children were trapped under a home under construction in Lincoln County near Charlotte.STANLEY, N.C. Authorities have confiscated a marijuana plant and firearms from a North Carolina property where a man was digging a deep hole that collapsed on two children, including his daughter.
The bodies of 6-year-old Chloe Jade Arwood and 7-year-old James Levi Caldwell were pulled Monday from a 24-foot-deep pit in the town of Stanley, outside of Charlotte.
Rescuers had been digging for the children since Sunday, when the girls father, Jordan Arwood, called 911.
Later on Monday, sheriffs deputies removed firearms and the marijuana plant from the mobile home. The 31-year-old father is a felon who is not allowed to have guns. He was convicted in 2003 for possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell.
Weve been working a horrific scene here, Lincoln County Emergency Services spokesman Dion Burleson told reporters gathered near the rural site on a two-lane road dotted with modular and mobile homes.
Crews had been searching for the children since Sunday afternoon, when the girls father Jordan Arwood called 911 to report the collapse. Officials were on the scene within minutes but couldnt get to the children.
The father had been digging with a backhoe on the site earlier in the day, Sheriff David Carpenter said. He would not say what was being built or if Arwood was doing it alone or had professional help. He did say authorities didnt know of any permits that had been issued for the work or plans detailing the project.
Burleson described the pit as 20 feet by 20 feet with a sloped entrance leading down to the 24-foot bottom. The children were at the bottom of the pit retrieving a child-sized pickaxe when the walls fell in on them, Carpenter said.
He said his deputies would continue to investigate what happened.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Carpenter later said deputies had not yet interviewed the family living in the home but planned to follow up on neighbors reports that Arwood was excavating the two-story pit to build some sort of a protective bunker.
They were so distraught we hope to be able to talk to them today and come up with some information on that, Carpenter said. Its a very large hole. It would look to be something like that, but I dont know. ... Were going to find out exactly what his intentions were.
He said deputies would be speaking with county planning and zoning officials about any potential building code violations at the site.
Andrew Bryant, a planner with the Lincoln County Planning & Inspections Department, said no permits had been issued.
Neighbor Bradley Jones said the children often played in the pit when the boys father was working there. Jones, who said he works in construction, said there was no structure to support the pits tall dirt walls and that he questioned the man about the holes depth.
I told Chelsea not to go in, Jones said, referring to advice he gave his teenage daughter, who babysat the children. It was dangerous. There was nothing to reinforce those walls.MORE IN Wire NewsVIENNA Reflecting its lessening oil clout, OPEC decided Thursday to keep its output target on...

During a friendly match, Beale Hughes, 9, gave his opponent Sean Lugakingira, 5, some pointers after Sean attempted to make several moves in one turn.
They were playing a match during some free play time Thursday as part of a weeklong chess camp at Canterbury High School last week.
It's an unusual thing and a really neat opportunity to learn and acquire skills most children don't get to develop until later on, James Dean, Canterbury's chess teacher, said.
Canterbury offers chess as a part of its curriculum, but the summer camp, held in July each summer, is open to all students in the area. The morning session is for beginners and an afternoon session is for more advanced, tournament players. This year about 20 kids signed up for the camp, Dean said.
The camp and the game of chess help kids with decision making, weighing options and solving problems, Dean said. There's also an opportunity for kids to spend some time outside, to blow off some steam, he said. Dean also goes through lessons with the group, and students have a chance to play different opponents during free play time.
The Ball State University Alumni Association and the Northeastern Indiana Alumni Chapter recently named recipients of the Northeastern Indiana Alumni Chapter Scholarship for the 2013-2014 academic year: Caroline Martin, Lori Stanfield and Madison Wilson, all of Homestead High School. The Northeastern Indiana Alumni Chapter Scholarship is offered to high school seniors who plan to attend Ball State University full-time and live in one of the following counties: Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, Kosciusko, Noble, and Whitley.
Andrew Whirrett, an eighth-grade English and history teacher and athletic director at St. Paul's Lutheran School in Fort Wayne, was among several educators honored by the Indiana Department of the American Legion during its 95th Annual State Convention in July. Each year, the Indiana Department of the American Legion honors educators who are recognized by their communities and their peers as exemplifying the qualities of a premier educator. The awards are broken into two categories: kindergarten through sixth grade and grades seven through 12. Whirrett was the overall winner in the latter category.
Grace College
The TCU Foundation has provided Grace College with a $5,000 Financial Freedom Grant Award for a local student. This year, Marissa Rico was given the award. Rico lives in Warsaw with her parents and sister and will be attending Grace in the fall as a biology major, with long-term-term goals of pursuing a career as a cosmetic dermatologist.
Kevin Roberts, counseling professor and chairman of the Behavioral Science Department at Grace College and Seminary, received the Alva J. McClain Award for Excellence in Teaching. The award is given every two years to the full-time teacher who not only exhibits excellent academic quality in the classroom but also inspires and infuses students with a passion to learn and grow. Professors given this award are nominated by students and faculty and must exemplify quality teaching in the classroom, pursue excellence in scholarship, demonstrate leadership and service, give meaningful contributions to the academic climate, and enhance teaching as a profession.
Ellen Cutter will join the university as the new director for the Community Research Institute. Cutter replaces John Stafford who announced his retirement in May. Cutter previously served as a principal and the director of research for Market Street Services, a community, economic, and workforce development consulting firm in Atlanta.
Ivy Tech
Ivy Tech Community College Northeast will be offering an Enrollment Express Lane on Wednesday with walk-in assistance from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 to 8 p.m. at the Student Life Center on the College's North Campus, 3701 Dean Drive. The purpose of the event is to help prospective students with busy schedules to enroll in one visit to campus. Students should bring their high school transcript for an on-the-spot evaluation for a possible assessment waiver. For assessment, individuals must have a valid ID.

JSO officer shoots, kills carjacking suspect
Updated On: Mar 22 2014 06:40:00 PM EDT
A 21-year-old man is dead, another man is in custody and one person remains on the run after an officer-involved shooting Friday evening in the Grand Park area of Northwest Jacksonville.
The shooting happened after an officer investigating an abandoned car on Moncrief Road around 6:20 p.m. saw a Chrysler Sebring convertible go by that had been carjacked on Thursday.
"The officer spotted the car, verified the tag (and) a short pursuit ensued," said Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Director Tom Hackney. "The vehicle stopped at the end of the of the pursuit."
Police said three men ran from the vehicle near the intersection of Division and 25th streets, one man in one direction, two in another. Officer Matt Bolan, a 13-year veteran, followed the two men who ran off together.
Hackney said Bolan chased the two behind a home in the area, and that's when the suspect pointed a gun at the officer, who fired at the suspect.
The suspects continued running into the front yard, where Bolan continued to fire at the suspect with the gun, hitting him several times in the torso.
"The other suspect gave up, put his hands up and cooperated with Officer Bolan," Hackney said. "He held that suspect until other officers arrived. The suspect who was hit was transported to UF Health, where he died."
The man who died was identified as Homer Ken Warren. Terrance Clark, 25, surrendered to the officer, was arrested and is charged with some juvenile violations.
At a Saturday morning news conference, Hackney talked about the dangers police officers face every day.
"I've said it before, I'll say it again. The day-to-day work the police industry does is dangerous," Hackney said. "They deal with dangerous people who take this matter into their own hands. Aiming these guns at officers is not a smart thing to do and in many cases will result in what happened to Mr. Warren."
UNCUT: Saturday morning JSO update on police-involved shooting
Per police policy, Bolan was placed on administrative leave while the police-involved shooting is investigated.
Hackney said Clark was not cooperating with police and had not provided information about the third suspect, who was still at large.
Police ask anyone with information about the third suspect is asked to call JSO at 904-630-0500 or Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS.

I know I always blog that Disney on Ice is so great for families, but OMG, Frozen on Ice is the best show yet.
The special effects, combined with everyone's favorite winter's tale of sisterly love, is incredible. My kids, jaded Disney on Ice regulars that we are, were astounded by the show's beauty. The lights! The snow! Sven on skates! Olaf losing his head and butt! Kristoff does flips!
And most importantly ELSA and ANNA are there, singing and skating! Waving to you! You get to see them while sitting down and eating popcorn, versus a two hour line at Disney World. My three-year-old Alice could not contain herself during the show. She danced, sang and cried with excitement.
I thought the quality of the show was top-notch. It is basically a Broadway show of the animated film, complete with the soundtrack your children know and love.
Due to high demand new show times have been added to the schedule of showings (13 total!) at the George Mason University Patriot Center, offering you more options to see Elsa, Anna, Olaf and company.
Thursday, October 23rd @ 7:00 p.m.
Friday, October 24th @ 10:30 a.m. 3:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

dinner service was unreasonably slow, but that was offset by the management
The service was impeccable. The facilities were fantastic.
Bed in room was broken, had to change rooms at 1 am in the morning after calling reception several times and waiting for almost an hour... Overpriced.
Very relaxing stay , spa was great
-The staff were very polite and helpful. -Room was very clean and neatly decorated. -The spa and gym are amzing. -very quiet and cozy atmosphere.
-the room service menu could use some improvents. -wifi was slow. -breakfast was not as good as i've expected.
Amazing service and big comfortable rooms, that make you feel at home. Away from the noise of the city yet very close to shops/restaurants/cinema, etc... Love the design of the rooms! Good spa, we plan to come back soon!
Although we were told that wifi is all around the hotel, we never actually got any signal in our room 310
How to start... "above and beyond" any expectations I had. Starting withe the reservations team that helped and did anything to solve a special request I had to the hotel staff that made us feel at our "home away from home". The team accommodated at one of the suites, which was nicely decorated and had state of the art tv and music sets and Molton Brown toiletries. We definitively had the best experience possible, and I would not doubt coming back again on my next visit to Moscow. While the Hotel is located outside of the city, it offers great ambiance and atmosphere and near by restaurants and shops definitively offer top level entertainment. I am sure that under Lorenzo Amaglio's management and with his great team, this great hotel will continue to deliver great experiences to discerning travelers both local and international looking for a personalized luxury experience. Definitively recommend staying here anytime!
I love that the hotel has spa and a beauty salon. Nice weekend escape.
the staff was realy helpfull
TV sound was not always working )

Market Maker Surveillance Report. NOK, MRVL, CSCO, S, ORCL, GRPN, Bullishly Biased Price Friction For Wednesday, November 21st 2012
Nov 22, 2012 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Wednesday. Since October 2008 market makers are now required to be on the bid as much as they are on the offer and for like amounts of stock. This Fair Market Making Requirement is designed to prevent market makers from manipulating stock prices. On Wednesday there were 4066 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3153 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2036 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with Abnormal Price Friction (bullish bias) in their stock prices. This means that there was more selling than buying in the stocks and their stock prices rose. Nokia Oyj (NYSE:NOK), Marvell Technology Group Ltd (NASDAQ:MRVL), CISCO SYSTEMS INCORPORATED (NASDAQ:CSCO), Sprint Nextel Corp (NYSE:S), Oracle Corp (NASDAQ:ORCL), Groupon Inc (NASDAQ:GRPN). To access Friction Factor, Naked Short Data and SqueezeTrigger Prices on all stocks please visit
Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below: Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction NOK $0.370 12.54% 46,975,431 30.84% 49,394,811 32.42% -2,419,380 Abnormal MRVL $0.010 0.13% 3,776,803 41.80% 5,255,452 58.16% -1,478,649 Abnormal CSCO $0.140 0.76% 13,503,349 45.07% 15,722,913 52.48% -2,219,564 Abnormal S $0.080 1.45% 9,381,656 34.19% 11,251,281 41.01% -1,869,625 Abnormal ORCL $0.190 0.65% 7,306,863 42.93% 9,506,460 55.85% -2,199,597 Abnormal GRPN $0.360 10.68% 27,730,231 48.18% 29,471,493 51.21% -1,741,262 Abnormal Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Wednesday and their stock prices rose. The Friction Factor displays how many more shares of buying than selling are required to move a stock higher by one cent or how many more shares of selling than buying moves a stock lower by 1 cent.
For example, the chart above shows NOK with 2,419,380 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.37000. This means the Market Makers were trading the stock in a way inconsistent with normal supply and demand (Economics 101); more selling than buying should cause prices to drop.

Building A Business Case For Unified Communications
The hype surrounding any emerging technology often shrouds the private sector with mixed feelings, as decision-makers try to decipher whether new offerings will enhance operations, hinder productivity or introduce some bizarre mixture of the two.
Instant Cashflow Improvement and Rapid ROI with Unified Communications
The up-and-down economy of the past several years has highlighted the need to operate more effi ciently and cut costs wherever possible. In most situations, these two notions would seem contradictory, but a number of emerging technologies - cloud computing, virtualization and the bring-your-own-device movement among them - are helping companies accomplish these goals.
The Top Four Pitfalls of Unified Communications
Today's enterprise needs to be agile if decision-makers wish to remain competitive and relevant in the eyes of consumers. As more companies and customers around the world begin leveraging innovative devices like smartphones, tablets and next-generation laptops, the need to deploy unified communications grows alongside it. Neglecting to implement the technology may result in dire consequences that could spell the end of an organization.

We are often faced by the temptation of buying things that we had not planned for at one point or the other and this is what is referred to as impulse buying. Sometimes the temptation can be too high for us to bear but it is also something we can totally avoid. Avoiding impulse buying can be achieved in the following ways.
One of the ways I consider the most important is to use the time rule. This involves thinking before buying something. Do things that will make you get out of the buying mind-set and ponder on whether you really need a product before buying it.
The next step is to ensure that you have an inclusion for impulse buying on your budget. Having it included for buying goods that are too tempting will quell such temptations since you can only spend what you budgeted for.
The last important step is to treat yourself occasionally. This will motivate you to avoid impulse buying so that you can receive a bigger and better reward.

2012 Heidemanns Bergweiler Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Kabinett

2013 Dr Loosen Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Kabinett
"Characterized by a stunning purity of fruit and a density of flavor that gives each wine a very clear expression of its terroir. It is a particularly good year for Kabinett and Spätlese, which were harvested with brilliant acidity and at the ideal must weights for each Prädikat (ripeness level)."

2012 Christoffel Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Spatlese
"As always, stylish and complex; kirsch and Gravenstein apples, very long, a tall thin-leggy prettiness here. Ürziger Würzgarten is an iconic Mittel Mosel site, famous for it's red sandstone soil covered by red slate over a large and steep amphitheater. Typically wines from this site tend to be the more spicy, tropical and richer then those from neighboring villages and sites."
