BUFFALO, N.Y. - Former AFL All-Star and Buffalo Bills all-time leader in yards per reception by a tight end, Ernie Warlick died last weekend.He was remembered as a man with big hands, a big personality and a loving husband, father and grandfather.
A memorial service was held on Tuesday at Randall Baptist Church in Williamsville. Former teammate Ed Rutkowski remembered him as a "big brother."
Booker Edgerson called Warlick "a leader" for his fierce stand during the 1960's when African-American football players refused to play in New Orleans.
Warlick played on the team from 1962-1965 standing out as one of the first tight endsdesignated as a receiver.
Warlick made Western New York his home after retiring from professional football. Heand his wife Louise of 52-years, raised their three children in the area.
Dr. Chris Warlick remembered his father as loving. He opened by saying to everyone in the church, "Ernie is my dad!" He recalled his parents telling him, "with great privilege comes great responsibility."
He was also the first African-American personality to anchor sports on a Buffalo television newscaston WGR-TV (Channel 2)in the 1960s.
He would continue with the Bills franchise as a member of the Bills Alumni Association, earning himthe Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Distinguished Service Award in 2000.
Warlick was a member of the Bills 25th Anniversary team and continued to work with local youth groups after retiring.
His health had been deteriorating for the last 18 months and he had been in the hospital this past week.
Pastor Josh LaRavia told mourners, "we have suffered loss and that loss is very tangible, it's very real, it hurts. We have suffered the loss of a husband, the loss of a father, the loss of a grandfather, a friend, teammate and that's real, but we are not ones without hope."
Warlick was 82-years-old.

By STEPHEN BLOCHSouthern Utah Wilderness Alliance
On behalf of the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA), I would like to respond to Tom McCourt's recent guest editorial, complaining about SUWA and its involvement in the proposed Lila Canyon mine.
First, in regard to SUWA, Mr. McCourt asserts that SUWA is run by "wealthy benefactors" from out of state, that its support is waning, and that SUWA's membership is down.
The fact of the matter is that SUWA was formed by several Utahns in the mid-1980s and has since grown to a staff of about 20 people. SUWA's mission - the preservation of Utah's outstanding wilderness quality lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management - is enjoying broader support than almost ever before. This support comes from both Utahns and citizens from every other state in the Union. In these times of unparalleled threats to our public lands, SUWA's membership is on the rise.
Second, in regard to cryptobiotic soils (also known as biological soil crusts), Mr. McCourt states that "[o]ther than helping to seal the ground from wind erosion, the microorganisms in it have no known ecological, economic, or medicinal value." There's just not a whole lot of support for that argument.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, cryptobiotic soils form the living glue that makes life possible across much of Utah. These soils fix nitrogen, retain water, as well as prevent soil erosion. According to government scientists in Moab, damage to these soils can last from decades to centuries, not the few days or weeks that Mr. McCourt suggests. When bulldozers scrape an area clear of mature trees shrubs, and cryptobiotic soils the damage can be profound and long lasting.
As for Mr. McCourt's suggestion that the protection of these important soils is some government and SUWA-led conspiracy - we'll let you decide that one for yourselves.
Finally, Mr. McCourt rhetorically wonders "[w]hatever happened to the golden rule about live and let live," implying that SUWA should keep its nose out of Emery County's business. Our response is simple. The proposed Lila Canyon mine is located on public lands managed by the BLM on behalf of all Americans. This is our business. SUWA's job is to make sure that the BLM and other federal agencies have followed another golden rule before any ground is disturbed (letting the critters and plants at the mine site live for another day) - "think first, then act."
Stephen Bloch is a staff attorney for the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance

According to an eye witness, the incident occurred when the Savage Coal truck turned right off of Hwy. 123 at Sunnyside Junction and collided with the westbound Ford truck. Utah Highway Patrol officials reported that the Savage driver was cited at the scene for failure to maintain a single lane of travel. The impact caused the coal truck to tip and spill its load as well as diesel fuel across the roadway. Utah Highway Patrol, Wellington Police and East Carbon City Police blocked off the scene while waiting for the Carbon County HAZMAT Squad.

Comments about North Face Venture Jacket (Men's):
Great product and Rock Creek was quick with the delivery. I normally fit into a XL but this jacket was very baggy in a XL for me. I opted for a large from Rock Creek which fit great. Although I had to return the jacket for personal reasons I want to make it clear that Rock Creek made the return extremely simple. My overall experience with Rock Creek was fantastic and I plan to purchase from them again because of how well things went. I advise you to do the same.

Yo Kanye, Imma let you finish, but people compared themselves to Hitler way before you did.
…and they were better at it too.
So Kanye West's opened his mouth. Again.
The successful yet controversial rapper said this weekend that people look at him like he's Hitler. That's right.
While the honorable Mr. West enjoys being so innovative and cutting edge, he would be disappointed to find out that the whole Hitler comparison thing has been happening since the early days of the Nazi rise to power.
The difference? The other comparisons were funny.
Now I'm not saying that every Hitler comparison should be funny, it shouldn't. But for Godwin's sake Kanye, stop being such an egotistical douche.
So for future reference, if you ever want to compare yourself to Adolf Hitler, you should at least attempt to do it like this: More ▸

Russell Westbrook on Saturday at Houston shot the ball as well as he has all season.
Of course, given the start Westbrook has had to his year, that's not saying a whole lot.
Russell Westbrook on Saturday at Houston shot the ball as well as he has all season.
Of course, given the start Westbrook has had to his year, that's not saying a whole lot.
Still, he's got to start somewhere if he is to break out of his surprising shooting slump.
He's hopeful the Thunder's 124-94 win over the Rockets will be his turning point.
"I felt comfortable," Westbrook said after the game. "This is probably the first night all year I shot the ball well. But I got to put two games together."
That's something Westbrook has struggled to do all season. For every precise shooting performance he's had, Westbrook has had three subpar showings. As a result, he's shooting just 40.3 percent this season, barely above the career-low 39.8 percent he shot as a rookie.
Against the Rockets, Westbrook scored a game-high 28 points on 11 of 22 shooting. It was only the first time since Dec. 4 that Westbrook has shot at least 50 percent from the field and just the sixth time this season that he's reached that percentage.
The key was Westbrook finishing at the rim. Seven of his 11 made field goals were layups. On the season, though, Westbrook has converted just 51 percent of his shots in the restricted area, according to NBA.com/stats. Westbrook's career low in that location is 47 percent, which came during his rookie season, according to hoopdata.com.
Elite point guards like Westbrook should hover around 60 percent from in close. Chris Paul, for instance, shoots 61 percent from the restricted area. Tony Parker is at 59 percent. Rajon Rondo is connecting on 58 percent.
Last season, when Westbrook shot a career-best 45.7 percent, he connected on 59 percent of his shots in the restricted area.
What makes Westbrook's tendency to whiff on layups such a burden is that's where the majority of his offense historically comes from. Nearly 37 percent of his shot attempts this season are in the restricted area. But by not finishing, and not getting as many calls to get to the free throw line, Westbrook's shooting percentage has plummeted.
Another issue has been Westbrook's reliance on the medium-range shot. His pull-up jumper has been a deadly weapon that has developed rapidly, but Westbrook has had far too many moments when he's settled for his go-to shot too quickly. The transition pull-up on an unfavorable fast break stands out most. Those types of shots account for more than 27 percent of Westbrook's attempts, but he's knocking down just 35 percent from the mid-range area. Players like Parker, Paul and Cavs guard Kyrie Irving are all shooting better than 45 percent from that spot.

Should Jets Make a Play for Alex Smith?
Yesterday in the New York Post, Bart Hubbuch asked whether or not the Jets should look to Alex Smith as a potential answer in 2013 to their quarterback problems.
But even without a replacement yet for fired general manager Mike Tannenbaum, league sources say they would be surprised if Gang Green doesn't at least make a call to Smith's agent in the offseason.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comIn my opinion, I'd be cautious of Smith and carefully consider what kind of money it would take to get him to New York. Smith struggled his whole career until Jim Harbaugh came to San Francisco and then had his best two statistical years in the NFL only with Harbaugh as his head coach. Smith has a very talented cast of receivers around him at both the running back spot and a receivers group which peaked in their talent in 2012 with Michael Crabtree, Vernon Davis, Mario Manningham and Randy Moss. So how will he do in a different system away from the care of Jim Harbaugh with a different set of receivers altogether?
Alex Smith is an option for the Jets, but based on the amount of money he might want and the level of talent he'd need around him, I don't know if it would be worth the money the team would need to spend. The Jets might be better off with a spot starter who has been able to rally some bad teams and whom they might be able to get on the cheap … a guy like Matt Moore. Moore won't be the starter for the Jets for the next ten years, but he can do more with less, wouldn't cost much and could hold the team over until they find a longer term answer.

As a member of the International Gene Trap Consortium (IGTC), the Sanger Institute Gene Trap Resource (SIGTR) project accelerated the pace of research in mouse genetics by using gene trap vector designs that were equipped with site-specific recombination sites for post-insertional modification of the trapped locus to create other desired alleles.
Vector Information
The vector designs used in creating the SIGTR are shown below. Each vector was engineered in each of the three reading frames designated by the number in the vector name. For example, pGT0lxf represents the frame "0" vector in which the exon upstream of the insertion donates a complete codon. Frame 1 and frame 2 vectors donate 1 and 2 bases, respectively.
For more detailed information on a particular vector, follow the links below to access the full sequence of the vector in FASTA format, the annotated sequence or a restriction map of each vector.
The loxP and FRT sites contained in the vector enabled post-insertional modification of the trapped locus.
|1.5 kb of Mouse En2 intron 1
|splice acceptor of mouse En2 exon 2
|fusion of β-galactosidase and neomycin transferase
|SV40 polyadenylation signal
Fasta, Annotated sequence, Map
Fasta, Annotated sequence, Map
Sequence processing
Sequence tags for the trapped genes were generated by direct sequencing of cDNA generated by 5'RACE. Trace files were generated using ABI3730 capillary sequencers, base-called using the Phred algorithm, and then run through Asp where quality sequence was marked using cut-off values established by examining minimum values required for high-confidence annotation matches.
Automated vector-trimming was performed and the reverse complement of the resulting sequences (sense strand) was passed on to the annotation pipeline. All high-quality sequence tags have been deposited in the Genome Survey Sequence database of GenBank.
Annotation pipeline
In order to assign relevant genetic information to mutated cell lines, the SIGTR employed an annotation pipeline based on high-confidence homology matching of sequences generated by 5' RACE to genomic loci. The positional information was then used to link any genetic information contained in the Ensembl Mouse Database associated with the genomic coordinates. For sequences that could not be resolved using homology to the mouse genome, BLAST was used to query the RefSeq database for homology to protein cDNA.
Handling cell lines
We strongly recommend confirming the cell line upon receipt. The General Information pdf document below contains details on molecular confirmation of the insertion event and culturing the cells. If you believe that the cell line you received is not the cell line you requested, please contact the MMRRC immediately.
If you follow the protocols but find that the cells don't look like ES cells, don't panic. Feeder-free ES cells look different to ES cells grown on feeders. If you are unfamiliar with handling feeder-free ES cells, culture the cells on feeders using the standard protocols.

NEWRY, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- It may have come a week later than usual, but skiers seem to have 'snow' complaints about opening day at Sunday River this Tuesday.
"This was the best opening day I've seen here," said skier Eric Davis, who has been hitting the slopes for 55 years.
A mlid October made it difficult for Sunday River to open any earlier than this week.
Workers say once the pack is in place, it's all downhill from here.
They expect a busy season ahead, especially with the Farmer's Almanac forecasting a season full of snow storms.
"The snow on people's cars, in backyards -- it does get people thinking about skiing," said Sunday River Communications Director Darcy Morse.
But no matter what the forecast says, Morse says they'll be seeing snow at Sunday River.
A new $1 million snow system helps them create high quality snow, using less power.
They've purchased 300 guns along 15 trails.
"It allows us to make more snow on more trails at any given time," said Morse.
Sugarloaf Mountain has also purchased the new snow guns, and is expected to open this Friday.

elephantjournal.com eco reviews: Gaiam Bamboo Bath / Shower Caddy.
Love this. Elegant, water-resistant (I keep mine out of direct spray, on back end of my clawfoot bath shower ring, so it stay relatively dry) and, at the risk of hyperbole, I can credit this thing with transforming my shower experience. It ably holds shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrush (even has a handy slot for one), soap (with plenty of gaps for drying).
Questions: Not sure how sustainable bamboo truly is, since it's energy intensive to use in manufacturing, and product comes from China, which is not only far away (shipping, trucking) but doesn't have a great reputation for caring about sustainable forest management.
Still, overall, I gotta give this thing an A. It's elegant, simple, eco-er than 90% of what's out there in any case, and eminently practical.
Buy it on Gaiam's site, and/or read reviews by customers.

The Master and Margaritaby Mikhail Bulgakov
Staff Pick
"Manuscripts don't burn" that's what the man said. It's impossible to destroy the last thing that one has loved, as memory trumps death. This holds true for Mikhail Bulgakov's novel The Master and Margarita: he burned his own copy down to nothing, then proceeded to rewrite the entire book from memory. The most famous of his works, The Master and Margarita is the tale of the heartbroken Master (he's a writer; he wears a hat) and his beloved Margarita (she glows; she flies), and both are very, very special. Then again, it is also the tale of the devil, with his attendant charmers/demons, and that of Pontius Pilate and his own great love. Pilate regrets putting the best company he's ever known to death, and he wants to set the business aright. Note: it is not necessary to subscribe to any sort of religion to enjoy this book, as it is too beautiful to be solely evangelical.
A hilarious attack on the hypocrisy of early Soviet Moscow that is as much a commentary on Stalin's political propaganda as it is on all forms of patriotism. The characters are hilarious and the story is as gripping as any I have ever read.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
I first read Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita on a balcony of the Hotel Metropole in Saigon on three summer evenings in 1971. The tropical air was heavy and full of the smells of cordite and motorcycle exhaust and rotting fish and wood-fire stoves, and the horizon flared ambiguously, perhaps from heat lightning, perhaps from bombs. Later each night, as was my custom, I would wander out into the steamy back alleys of the city, where no one ever seemed to sleep, and crouch in doorways with the people and listen to the stories of their culture and their ancestors and their ongoing lives. Bulgakov taught me to hear something in those stories that I had not yet clearly heard. One could call it, in terms that would soon thereafter gain wide currency, "magical realism". The deadpan mix of the fantastic and the realistic was at the heart of the Vietnamese mythos. It is at the heart of the present zeitgeist. And it was not invented by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, as wonderful as his One Hundred Years of Solitude is. Garcia Marquez's landmark work of magical realism was predated by nearly three decades by Bulgakov's brilliant masterpiece of a novel. That summer in Saigon a vodka-swilling, talking black cat, a coven of beautiful naked witches, Pontius Pilate, and a whole cast of benighted writers of Stalinist Moscow and Satan himself all took up permanent residence in my creative unconscious. Their presence, perhaps more than anything else from the realm of literature, has helped shape the work I am most proud of. I'm often asked for a list of favorite authors. Here is my advice. Read Bulgakov. Look around you at the new century. He will show you things you need to see.
"One of the truly great Russian novels of this century." The New York Times Book Review
Suppressed in the Soviet Union for twenty-six years, Mikhail Bulgakov's masterpiece is an ironic parable of power and its corruption, good and evil, and human frailty and the strength of love. Featuring Satan, accompanied by a retinue that includes the large, fast-talking, vodka drinking black tom cat Behemoth, the beautiful Margarita, her beloved - a distraught writer known only as the Master - Pontius Pilate, and Jesus Christ, The Master and Margarita combines fable, fantasy, political satire, and slapstick comedy into a wildly entertaining and unforgettable tale that is commonly considered one of the greatest novels ever to come out of the Soviet Union. "A wild surrealistic romp.... Brilliantly flamboyant and outrageous."-Joyce Carol Oates, The Detroit News; "Fine, funny, imaginative.... The Master and Margarita stands squarely in the great Gogolesque tradition of satiric narrative."-Saul Maloff, Newsweek; "Funny, devilish, brilliant satire.... It's literature of the highest order and . . . it will deliver a full measure of enjoyment and enlightenment."-Publisher's Weekly; "A rich, funny, moving and bitter novel.... Vast and boisterous entertainment."-The New York Times
Mikhail Bulgakov's devastating satire of Soviet life was written during the darkest period of Stalin's regime. Combining two distinct yet interwoven parts-one set in ancient Jerusalem, one in contemporary Moscow-the novel veers from moods of wild theatricality with violent storms, vampire attacks, and a Satanic ball; to such somber scenes as the meeting of Pilate and Yeshua, and the murder of Judas in the moonlit garden of Gethsemane; to the substanceless, circus-like reality of Moscow. Its central characters, Woland (Satan) and his retinue-including the vodka-drinking, black cat, Behemoth; the poet, Ivan Homeless; Pontius Pilate; and a writer known only as The Master, and his passionate companion, Margarita-exist in a world that blends fantasy and chilling realism, an artful collage of grostesqueries, dark comedy, and timeless ethical questions.
Although completed in 1940, The Master and Margarita was not published in Moscow until 1966, when the first part appeared in the magazine Moskva. It was an immediate and enduring success: Audiences responded with great enthusiasm to its expression of artistic and spiritual freedom. This new translation has been created from the complete and unabridged Russian texts.

Comments about QSC GX7 Stereo Power Amplifier:
I also own the QSC GX5 that I power my JBL 15's with horns.
This GX7 will power my JBL 18 subs.
My experience with QSC amps shows that they're powerful with plenty of overhead, silent and the new GX7 is super light weight.
It's a winner in all areas of PA amplification!

Comments about QSC GX7 Stereo Power Amplifier:
I bought a GX7 from MF to power a pair of JBL PRX425 speakers. Powerful, clean sound from the QSC even when the red clip LEDs are occasionally blinking. Some reviewers complain that the cooling fan is a little noisy. But in my experience, it only kicks into high speed cooling when you're pushing the amp hard and then the music is so loud, I don't see how you could possibly hear the cooling fan. It's a very basic amp without all the programmable settings that many power amps offer - but that's exactly what I want. Simple, straightfoward, powerful - with fewer bells and whistles to tear up. It's the best power amp buy out there for an amp that truly outputs what it is rated at!
Comments about QSC GX7 Stereo Power Amplifier:
I run 2 sets of Jbl Mrx series 15in 2 way speakers with my new GX7 amp and the sound is really great. I use to run 2 GX5 amps for the same 2 sets of speakers and at 17 pounds it really makes a weight difference, and the GX7 works just great. I advise anyone that is going to put together a PA system to take the time to check out the GX series amps, with a 5year warranty. You will be very happy with the GX series line.

Iraq Transitions As U.S. Forces Withdraw After 8-Year Presence

News PhotoBaghdad,Conflict,Disability,Hand,Horizontal,Iraq,Iraq War 2003-2011,Technician,War,WorkingPhotographer Mario TamaCollection: Getty Images News 2011 Getty ImagesBAGHDAD, IRAQ - DECEMBER 13: A technician works on a prosthetic hand at the Factory of Prosthetic Limbs on December 13, 2011 in Baghdad, Iraq. Wounded Iraqis face a shortage of the outdated prosthetics due to a spike in war-related injuries in recent years. Iraq's health care system remains in shambles following two decades of war and economic sanctions. Following the 2003 U.S. invasion, thousands of physicians fled the country while others were killed. Some physicians have since returned but there is still a critical shortage of doctors. Iraq is transitioning nearly nine years after the 2003 U.S. invasion and subsequent occupation. American forces are now in the midst of the final stage of withdrawal from the war-torn country. At least 4,485 U.S. military personnel have died in service in Iraq. According to the Iraq Body Count, more than 100,000 Iraqi civilians have died from war-related violence. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)

Albany Bureau
ALBANY Two studies were released Thursday analyzing whether the state could afford a universal pre-kindergarten program.
New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio has proposed a pre-kindergarten program for the city and wants to fund it through $532 million a year in new taxes from city taxpayers earning more than $500,000 a year.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said it wants to cut taxes, but said Wednesday he's open to de Blasio's ideas.
"If he becomes the mayor of the city of New York, then he should put together his plans and his programs," Cuomo told reporters. "I invited him to Albany."
The state created a pre-kindergarten program in 1997 that is currently available to 100,000 four year-olds statewide for a half day. Opposing sides argue if it is financially feasible to increase funding and create a universal pre-kindergarten program for the state that is full day.
A proposal released Thursday by the Campaign for Educational Equity Teachers College, Columbia University and the Center for Children's Initiatives contended it would be financially possible to create such a program.
"A study of New York's pre-K program showed that the state's investment in pre-K expansion would be significantly offset by savings to the school system for future remediation, including reduction in special education and grade repetition, and higher student learning productivity," Executive Director of the Center for Children's Initiatives Nancy Kolben said in a statement.
The proposal finds a pre-kindergarten program could be built off the 1997 program, Gov. Andrew Cuomo's pre-kindergarten competitive grant program that includes $25 million a year, and part of the U.S. Department of Education's $10 billion investment for the next 10 years to promote preschool programs nationwide.
The pre-kindergarten program would provide all day pre-kindergarten programs for three year-olds and four year-olds and establishes pre-kindergarten into the state education system, the groups said.
A Cuomo-appointed state Education Reform Commission last year noted that pre-kindergarten programs could narrow the achievement gap and provide long-term benefits to children and taxpayer, the groups said.
The state would need an investment of $225 million in the first year for "high-need" districts, the proposal said.
The state Legislature has long fought over whether to expand pre-kindergarten programs. It's been backed by the Democratic-led Assembly, but thwarted by the Republican-controlled Senate.
A report from the business-backed Citizen's Budget Commission released Thursday found the state and federal aid would not be enough to support a pre-kindergarten program. The group contended that an expanded program would fall on the backs of taxpayers, who already pay among the highest taxes in the nation.
The average taxpayer would see a 3.4 percent increase in school taxes for the program, the report said.
The budget commission's report said 232 school districts do not have universal pre-kindergarten programs, which means less than half of about 230,000 four year-olds in the state can enroll in programs with the $385 million given to the state to fund pre-kindergarten programs. The $25 million in competitive grants through Cuomo's competitive grant program would provide about 2,500 seats. New York has about 700 school districts.
The report found that in the city of Rochester, 1,915 students were enrolled in universal pre-kindergarten last school year, costing about $5,600 per student in state aid. About 64 percent of four-year-olds in the city were in the program.
Rochester and Buffalo have among the highest childhood poverty rates in the state, with about 40 percent of youth living in poverty, according to census data.
In the city of Binghamton, it cost about $4,400 in state aid per child for 300 four-year-old students to attend pre-kindergarten, the report showed. That represented about half of the four year-olds in the city.
In Poughkeepsie, about 30 percent of the four year-olds in the city were enrolled in pre-kindergarten, the report showed, or about 140 students. The state cost was about $5,500 per student, the report said.
The group found in the 2011-2012 school year, the average pre-kindergarten student cost an average of $3,707 each. The report estimates if all four year-olds enrolled in quality pre-kindergarten programs, it would cost about $1.4 billion to $2 billion a year.
Adding three year-olds into the program, as supporters proposed, would double the cost because three year-olds are not currently eligible for state universal pre-kindergarten funds, the study said.
"If done properly and targeted to those who need and can benefit the most, pre-k programs can be worthwhile and have long-term benefits," Carol Kellermann, president of the Citizens Budget Commission, said in a statement. "The challenge is to design any expansion to maximize its cost-effectiveness and potential impact."

MCW-Digital for RPS London
A complete videoconferencing system featuring beyerdynamic wireless technology and Biamp Audio and Nexia digital signal processing has proved the perfect medicine for the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (RPSGB)'s London headquarters.
The RPSGB, the professional and regulatory body for pharmacists in England, Scotland and Wales, wanted to modernise its conference facilities, which bring together key people from its offices around the UK, and found the appropriate medicine in a collaboration between POLARaudio Ltd. and systems integrator Martin Dawes Solutions.
A fully integrated modular AV system allows the RPSGB's spacious main Council Chamber in London to be switched in minutes from a round-table boardroom to a 250-seat presentation theatre or divided into two separate spaces, each with its own AV facilities. The system also integrates smaller meeting rooms nearby for maximum flexibility.
The team specified a full videoconferencing system linking the three RPSGB locations, allied to a beyerdynamic MCW-D 50 wireless conference microphone system. Equipment portability and easy room re-configurability were designed in from the start, greatly helped by the use of the MCW-D 50 wireless delegate units with built-in loudspeakers.
Microphone outputs - routed into a Biamp Audiaflex DSP mainframe and Nexia units - provide echo cancellation for the videoconference lines plus full processing and routing, complemented by Ethernet-based Extron switching and Crestron touch control.
System outputs are routed into an eight-channel Bittner 8x100 amplifier, driving JBL Control 28 wall mounted loudspeakers and MP212 foldback cabinets, while a Crestron TPS4000 touch panel and Crestron AV2 Processor provide comprehensive, intuitive control over the system.
Martin Dawes' team completed the installation with a pair of rear projection screens powered by built-in Sanyo PLC-XP51 4000 lumen and PLC-XF60 6500 lumen projectors, Sony EVI-D100 PTZ 3-CCD video cameras and PCS-G50 video conference codecs, and Extron matrix switchers.
"The real challenge with the audio was the high number of different elements involved," said RPSGB audio visual support manager Martin Bagley, "including handheld and tie clip microphones, video conferencing mode with echo cancellation, and wireless microphones which are also required to be recordable onto multiple media. The MCW-D 50 system's flexibility, and the power of the Audiaflex and Nexia units, were crucial in achieving the results we wanted."

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
On May 30 the Sun Advocate Vacation Guide will come out as a supplement to the Sun Advocate, a publication that has become a tradition each year.
"We have created the guide for many years now and I think people have come to rely on it for information and activity," said Richard Shaw, publisher of the Sun Advocate and Emery County Progress.
The guide has become a bible for many in the community when it comes to events and areas to visit.
"As important as it is to local folks, it is also important to our tourist industry," said Shaw. "The publication is sent all over the world by the county's travel bureau, so people know what to look for when they get here."
Because of that, the emphasis this year is on venues to see in the area. The guide is also putting more emphasis on the types of people the area generally attracts, including; hikers, mountain bikers and ATV enthusiasts.
"We have to realize that while there are a lot of people who come here to see the USU Eastern Museum and the Helper Railroad and Mining Museum, many don't know about the opportunities that abound here for hiking and mountain biking. Few also know that we have some great places to ride ATVs," stated Shaw.
Included in this year's guide is a two page section with the activities that are going on all summer and into the fall as well. That two page section surrounds a map of the area so that people can see where those events are located.
"I think that the photos in the guide are also outstanding and show off our area in a great way," said Shaw.
The Vacation Guide is one of about 30 specials the paper produces each year which subscribers and stand sales customers get to see.
"The largest part of our charge is to cover the news in our area," says Shaw. "But we also need to help sell our assets to outside interests. There are a number of specials we put out each year that help us to do just that."

Spare the Rod
February 18, 2009
I FULLY REALIZE that few complaints are more tiresome than "your party's scandal is worse than my party's scandal." But indulge me for a moment. I can't think of a good reason why Rod Blagojevich has become the most hated man in America while Norm Coleman still walks the streets with his head held high. What, you say—Norm Coleman? Yes, Norm Coleman! Let me explain. The soon-to- be-former senator's scandal is pretty simple.

I play in an 80s cover band and use a variety of T-shirts for casual gigs. This one is great and, to say the least, stands out. I think it fits to size but may be just a little bit over sized. I see that as a good thing. Long term I'm not sure because the design uses a rubberized decal and they eventually wear down but I think I'll get good use out of it.

Don wrote:So far, Matt Purke is no longer seen as starting material because of his delivery and slot angle that reminds alot of local product Tony Saunders.
ESPN's Keith Law noted before the 2009 Draft that he had issues with Purke's low-three-quarter arm slot being a concern when it comes to developing a change-up. I couldn't agree more. It's rare to see someone with that arm slot throw a quality and consistent change-up. He hasn't thrown it a lot during his first two years at TCU in the same sense that he didn't throw it a lot in high school – because he didn't need it. While true, I do think that sets the development of the pitch back a ways compared to someone like Cole. Combining that with what has been said about his arm-slot, and I see Purke as a two-pitch guy right now and likely in the future. Those two pitches can be lethal, however. But, he needs to add more strength to his arm and shoulders to maintain velocity throughout the game to get by with two offerings. Like Cole, Purke just needs some fine-tuning as well as some strength training and he'll be fine.

Afgritech LLC will expand its operations by adding a 4,000-square-foot loading garage at its Watertown plant by the end of the summer, enabling it to increase its customer base across the Northeast.
Opening in the fall of 2011 in the former Blue Seal Feeds mill at 200 Willow St., Afgritech got down to business in a hurry; it installed new automated equipment from Germany and began producing bypass protein meal for dairy cattle and shipping it to companies across the Northeast.
Now its preparing to get bigger. Along with the expanded loading area, Afgritech will add six 100-ton silos so it can distribute its finished product to feed mills more efficiently, plant manager Harold E. Rozanski said.
The loading area, which will include an 80-foot scale to weigh loads, will provide a larger space needed by tractor-trailers to pick up the product. The current garage has a 60-foot scale and not enough space to weigh todays large trucks.
The silos will be used in conjunction with 14 grain bins now at the plant that store 15 to 30 tons each. The citys Planning Board approved the companys expansion plan Tuesday.
The expansion is a part of a future plan that will enable us to increase our production and give us a better position in Watertown, Mr. Rozanski said. It will aid a smooth, consistent loading of trucks. We expect to cut down our loading time from 40 minutes to 20 per truck.
Called AminoMax Pro, the bypass protein meal is produced by mixing raw soybean meal and canola oil with automated equipment that heats and cools the blended product with computerized timing systems. The system is constantly monitored by operators using computer software, and has more than 400 sensor checkpoints to ensure the product is made with the same profile every time.
Mr. Rozanski said the expanded garage and additional silos will enable the plant which now loads six or seven trucks daily to expand its customer base by increasing production. Now employing nine workers and running five days a week with three shifts, the plant will begin operating on weekends, and two or three mill operators will be hired for the extra work.
Afgritech has expanded at a fast clip since being launched in here in 2011 as a joint venture of Carrs Billington Agriculture, Stanwix, England, and Afgri Operations Ltd., Centurion, South Africa. The English and South African companies spent millions to upgrade the facility here to establish a U.S. headquarters. Mr. Rozanski said the company now contracts with 11 feed companies in New York, Vermont and Pennsylvania.
After reaping early success with customers in the Northeast served by the Watertown plant, he said, Afgritech will consider adding a U.S. plant to expand in the coming years. The high protein content of its cattle feed, made possible by preserving amino acids during production, has made it popular among feed companies because it helps cattle increase milk production.
Our product has been received positively by farms in the Northeast area, he said. Once everything settles with the expansion here, our two partners will certainly look at the other main dairy sheds here, like California, Wisconsin and the Texas Panhandle.

Terri Lott, who chaired this year's Relay, shares an emotional moment on stage with Brooke Sherman, who won the fight against cancer. More photos are on page 2A.
This past weekend, cancer survivors, family members affected by the disease and a community which comes together year after year, raised $47,000 - with more likely to come - in spite of a tough economy and uncooperative weather.
"We are all ecstatic with the amount we raised and the participation we saw," said local Relay for Life Chairperson Terri Lott. "We really had a great event."
The 2011 Carbon County Relay for Life was themed "Seasons of Hope," and from the event's opening ceremony on Friday night it was apparent that hope was alive and well in Utah's Castle Country. Several survivors, including soon to be Carbon High Senior Brooke Sherman, took the stage prior to the evening's first lap to let everyone in attendance know just how much their support and dedication can mean to those battling cancer.
As tears flowed freely within the crowd and the survivors gathered, the first lap commenced and relay 2011 was underway. Through the night, funds were raised, many laps were walked, luminaries were lit and the band played on as Carbon County came together to fight cancer for another year.
As the sun came up on Saturday morning, Lott announced that $47,085.83 had been raised with more donations to come. "We know for sure that $2,000 to $2,500 will be coming in, meaning we topped $50,000," explained Lott. "That amount of fund raising is something everyone involved with this event should be proud of."

CrockPot Barbecued Pulled Pork Recipe
Well hello there!
I pulled myself away from the laptop this weekend to make some pork. That I couldn't eat. But I made it anyway.
I'm nice like that.
This is a reader recipe from an anonymous commenter left on the original pork post----it sounded good, and was easy to throw together. I cooked it overnight, and then packaged up the food for family and friends.
The Ingredients.
4 pounds boneless pork shoulder
1 onion, sliced in rings
2 cups ketchup (a 24oz bottle seems to be exactly 2 cups. weird.)
1/2 cup warm water
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon gluten free Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
The Directions.
Use a 6 quart crockpot. Trim meat, and place into your crockpot. Add sliced onion. Squeeze in 2 cups of ketchup, and then pour 1/2 cup warm water into the ketchup bottle and shake. Pour the ketchup-y water into your crock. Add vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire, Tabasco and salt.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until meat shreds easily with a fork.
Serve over rice, or make sandwiches on rolls or sliced bread.
The Verdict.
This smells so good while it's cooking. I had a hard time sleeping the house smelled so good. Adam had a bunch this morning, and really liked the flavor a lot. He said it was sweet and had a slight kick, but not really. He's going to have more for dinner. I tasted a fingerful of sauce---it's like a zesty barbecue.
I wish I wasn't allergic! ugh.
And, dude! Pork is so much less expensive than other meats; I had no idea.

Those lucky people to whom you gave the pork away? Are they going to give a verdict? Somehow, your posts just aren't the same without a verdict.
And I hope they are honest, not just saying it's good because it was free food.

Dude... wow. I'm going to mark this one as "to do." When I made bbq pork in the crock pot, I ended up using a LOT of bbq sauce from bubbas in NC, and it was good, but it lacked a certain punch. Now, I have seen the light. Awesome!

Pulled pork seems to be the menu thing going around. I can't wait to try this.:-)
You're allergic to pork??? Darn! (no bacon? - Ach!)

I bought a beautiful pork roast today and this will be the perfect way to use it!

- Jill said...
I've done something similar with chicken breasts, because I don't eat pork or beef. Basically I just make up a rub, throw it all in the crock pot, and add about 1/2 C liquid smoke. Good stuff!
A little Montgomery Inn bbq sauce, some cole slaw, and a bun, and you've got yourself a heckuva sandwich.

yikes! this look evil yummy!

This sounds so good! Do you have any good substitute for all the ketcup. Its too much sugar/high fructose corn syrup for my family. I want to make this
- January 26, 2009 at 1:52 PM

Hi Anon,
I don't. I used Trader Joe's Organic ketchup, and there isn't any HFCS. I've heard that Heinz now has an organic that is also HFCS-free.

What are you allergic to? The Pork?
If you are you can do it with Chicken. You can shred it just like the pork. It is really good.

This looks incredible and I use a very similar recipe for Brisket - the only difference is I add a beer to the mix. We love pork sandwiches in this house and this will be a winner for sure!!
- January 26, 2009 at 2:19 PM
Oh, I have missed reading your posts on a daily basis. I was very happy to see a recipe posted today :) How is the 30 day shred going?

OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG.... thank you so much!!!!! I have been SEARCHING for a good pulled pork recipe!!!! I looked through every single recipe of yours to find one.... then I finally read somewhere that you don't eat pork. I felt defeated. :)

I just finished a crockpot pulled prok sandwich! hehe. I use mccormicks crockpot pulled pork seasoning mix though. It is the best I've found.
My recommendation... add a little liquid smoke. Makes it that much better!

- Cheri-Beri said...
This looks deeeeeeeeeeelicious!! I have a "somewhat" similar recipe for crock pot sloppy joes. Something about the apple cider vinegar, W. sauce and brown sugar that just make you sit up and take notice. I can't wait to try this one out!

I make boneless pork ribs w. bbq sauce in the crockpot all the time. It's the only way I like pork, well besides bacon. Anyway, it's so easy and good, you just can't go wrong! It does get a little dry in the microwave though if you don't pour some sauce over it before you zap it. Aww, I wish you could try it, it's sooo good!
Have a great day!

I get to be allergic to the preservatives in a bunch of processed foods. So those sulfites, sulfates, nitrites and nitrates do a number to my skin. My poor bacon-deprived husband sometimes caves and buys his own processed pork products.

Pulled pork in the CrockPot is fantastic. I've done it quite a few times and it always turns out great. I highly recommend trying it the way I make it if you plan on having it for dinner. All I do is get 4 pound pork shoulder and place it in the Crock. Then I pour a can of root beer over. Cook it on low for 8 to 10 hours. Then I discard the liquid, shred the pork, and add one of the many barbecue sauces I have in the fridge. It's super easy to throw in the CrockPot on the way out the door in the morning.

You are just too nice and it isn't even Christmas. For those of us that are allergic to the pork, Barbecued Pulled Chicken Sounds yummy (and more comfortable.)

oooo, sounds good. I wish I had this recipe when I was trying to salvage some seriously freezer-burned pork shoulder. This might have done the trick.

I missed you! This is something my hubby and boys would definitely eat.
Thank you!
- January 27, 2009 at 6:17 AM
First - I love your blog! and have used many of the recipes.
Second - I can hardly wait for your book, it will save me from trying to keep all the recipe sheets in order.
Third - my pulled pork recipe is 1 envelope of each dry mix: ranch dressing, italian dressing, brown gravey plus a cup of liquid (beer, wine, chicken stock, water) over a 3# roast. I have tried this with pork, beef and turkey breast. The verdict - FABULOUS!
thanks for the great blog

Yeah for Steph's return! I love your recipes and my husband is getting tired of crockpot soup. Thanks for the recipe, and just out of curiousity, do you know any Worcestershire sauce brands that are gluten-free? They always have caramel coloring in them : ( Thanks again for posting.

Oooh, that looks yummy. I usually just cheat & use bottled BBQ sauce from a local place, but I might have to give this a whirl next time.

Yay! Pulled pork! Sounds delicious, I am going to try this for sure! Thanks!

you all are just the nicest people, ever.
kelly, YES. Lea and Perrins is Gluten Free. I haven't ever used any other brand, I grew up on the stuff, so was thrilled when their FAQs confirmed that they were GF.
Is Lea and Perrins GF?
- January 27, 2009 at 7:25 AM
- Steve said...
But the Canadian version is not GF:
"the Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce distributed in Canada is not gluten free, due to the malt vinegar"

Made Boston butt roast this weekend, and it was too fatty for me to eat.
I do like a fine pork roast, though, and barbecue! Gonna have to put this on my list.
- January 27, 2009 at 8:55 AM

Steve! thank you for posting that; I had no idea!
what is up with that? why on earth do they feel it needs malt flavoring?

Yum, that sounds so good. I have a similar one for ribs, never thought of a pork roast! And it's on sale through today at Safeway, too. Karen
- January 27, 2009 at 11:00 AM
I do it like Victor says, only I use a cup of cola instead of the root beer. (Works great to use up the end of a flat bottle of pop.) This is the recipe I use to convert people to crockpot cooking, it's that good.

I just want to preface this by saying I've tried other recipes here and they've been good....however this one, not so much. It's not that it was bad, but that it was kind of bland (yes, I added the tabasco). It just seems that it's missing something. Thanks for posting, though!

Made this for my family's dinner today, and it was SO good. Husband came in to drop off his empty plate before I'd even carried mine out of the kitchen, 3-year-old polished off every crumb, and even though mine was room temperature by the time I got to eat it, it was still great. I practically licked my plate. It's an hour later, and my husband is in the kitchen making me a plate of leftovers (of which this made a lot.) I've never made a pork roast, and I can't wait to do it again. I'd love to try to whip up something in the style of kalua pork!
- January 28, 2009 at 6:05 PM

I just wanted to let you know, I made this last night for my husband, who considers himself a BBQ expert. Said it was very good. For the rest of us common folk, that means mmmm mmmm, that was great!

Ha! Love your blog. I am adding this recipe link on my blog today. I have a cold/cough and my food is going to be ordinary - I need to share the good eats out there! Hope you don't mind!
This one is definitely on my list of things to make.
- January 30, 2009 at 11:54 AM
slight variation, I just made pulled pork for a party tomorrow. I used your brown sugar chicken recipe but doubled it for four pork loins. I added half an onion finely chopped and used apple cider vinegar. I made it today because I think things like this are always better the next day. My husband loved the chicken and thinks this pork is the best thing he ever tasted. He lived in N.C. for a while and says this is the way they make barbecue there. No tomato.
PS I love your recipes the sweet and sour soup and chicken and brown rice are big favorites.
- January 30, 2009 at 4:40 PM
- Quiltin' Jenny said...
I made this recipe this week, just like it reads.
It was delicious! All three of my kids and my husband ate it with gusto, so that gets 5 stars on my scale. My picky 8yo DD (who occasionally claims to be a vegetarian to get out of eating her meat) took it in her lunch the next day.
So easy, the house smelled great, and everyone went to bed with a full tummy and a smile on their face. Perfect when my husband came home after working all day in the rain.
Thank you for this and all of your other wonderful recipes!

- Isabella said...
Oh my goodness!
I ate a little bit by itself and I enjoyed the tangy sweetness of it. However, I was in a spicy mood so I threw in a little sriracha and served over rice.
(Oh, I altered the recipe a bit. We didn't have any worcestershire sauce, so I substituted a little bit more tabasco and a dollop of Saz's barbecue sauce - we're a gluten-free household as well)
This was my first adventure with one of your recipes and I have to say...FANTASTIC! Thank you for posting this!

- Kalyn said...
hi. I am a major fan of yours.... but not so much on this one. :( I was soooo excited to try this recipe, and unfortunately, I felt let down when I ate it. First off- after 9 hours of cooking on low- I took out the pork, and the "sauce" was like water. I had to add corn starch to thicken it up. I too felt like something was missing. THere was no pizazz- or kick. :)
Oh, and I followed it EXACTLY how the recipe calls for. Any suggestions???
- February 1, 2009 at 10:11 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Kalyn,
I'm so sorry! I hate it when things like that happen. I hope you were able to add something to it to make your dinner salvageable.

- Julie said...
We served this at our son's birthday party this weekend along with the brisket. It was a huge hit! I had about 1/2 tsp of really really really old tobasco sauce, so it wasn't as spicey as it probably should have been but it was a great flavor.
I also cooked it in a too-small pot since my brisket was in the bigger one, and so it took a bit longer to cook. Next time I'll put it in the big pot. Thanks!
- February 2, 2009 at 6:46 PM

I made this over the weekend and it was terrific. My husband loved it. Definitely a keeper!

Just made this Sat night/Sunday morning. It woke me up around 3am the scent was so potent. I won't cook overnight again!
It was DELICIOUS!!! Before I shredded the pork it seemed a bit on the runny side, but with everything shredded it seemed to be fine. Would absolutely make again (during the day).
- February 3, 2009 at 2:29 PM
- trish said...
Hi Steph - one suggestion about the pork sandwich - serve it with slaw on the top and a couple of dashes of Texas Pete hot sauce. I'm from North Carolina and it's a sin here not to eat a BBQ sandwich without slaw. This looks good and I think I'll try it this week!
Glad to see you are still blogging!!
- February 4, 2009 at 8:20 AM
- Kristy said...
Just wanted to add that I made this today with a bone-in pork shoulder (it was on sale) and it came out great! Thanks for the recipe - the sauce was unbelievable!
- February 4, 2009 at 1:19 PM
Made this today using a bone-in 7.5 lb. boneless butt pork roast without adding additional quantities of the remaining ingredients. The crockpot was full to the rim with all the liquids from the meat after 10 hours. I took it out and shredded it easily with two forks. It was moist and delicious!! Even got high compliments from my NC BBQ lovin' husband. Served it with sweet broccoli slaw. MMMMMM!

just curious as to what has gluten in this recipe??? i couldnt figure it out, and want to make it for my GF family.
- February 4, 2009 at 7:51 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Becky,
there's no gluten. I use Lea Perrin's worcestershire sauce, and that's safe, as long as it was manufactured in the US.
I'm allergic to pork, that's why I said I couldn't eat it.
- February 4, 2009 at 7:55 PM
- Annalisa said...
This was SO good! I modified this recipe a bit using information from this one: http://www.squidoo.com/bbqpork-made-ez
Basically, I added spices, liquid smoke, worcestire sauce, etc.
The pork shoulder i bought had a bone but it still took about 8 hours on low. I also flipped the roast a few times...
This was amazing. I can't wait to try this with chicken! Thanks again for all of your crockpot creativity.
- February 6, 2009 at 7:58 AM
WOW! This recipe is awesome. I was a little nervous because it had a lot of juice in the crock. As it cooked and started to pull apart I let it mingle in the juices before I pulled it all out. This is definitely a keeper. I didn't have regular Tabasco so I used some green jalapeno sauce my hubby had and it came out great.
- February 6, 2009 at 9:41 AM
I too tried this last night and found it to be kinda bland and watery. I shredded it, tasted, and liberally added more Tabasco and Wor. Sauce and let it sit more. Still, wasn't wowed. Took out the meat and added 2 T. of cornstarch to help thicken, so that was a bit better.
Still, I was expecting more. The meat turned out fantastic, but didn't have the tang I was hoping for. I'm going to try the leftovers tonight and add some Country Bob's and Tabasco to it.
- February 8, 2009 at 11:06 AM
- Momma-of-5 said...
Yum Yum Yum...it was SO good! Even my kids ate it! I just need help...my sauce was a little runny. How can I fix that in future? Did I put too much water in?
- February 8, 2009 at 6:14 PM
- Harley said...
I just made it, and I must say, it's quite fantastic. I shredded the pork in the crockpot and put it on high for a while to thicken it up a bit. Absolutely delicious!

I made this yesterday and it was fantastic! Thank you!
- February 11, 2009 at 12:50 PM
A little late but I had to say my family L.O.V.E.D. this! All my boys (3,5 and DH) gobbled it up. We served it on wheat buns to absorb all the yummy juice and broccoli slaw on top for crunch. Super yummy! Also, it made a ton. I was able to add another dinner in my freezer stock. thank you!
Will def. make this again!
Oh! and I found that the Organic Private Selection ketchup from Ralphs has no HFCS. :)

- Missy said...
Steph, first off let me just say that it's a shame you're allergic to pork - this recipe is awesome!
I was a little concerned about how it would taste, since some people commented that it was bland, etc. We didn't think that at all, honestly I'm kind of surprised how much we did like it! Next time we are going to add 1/3 cup AC vinegar though for a little extra kick, along with some liquid smoke and a jalapeno. Mmm mmm!!
I've never made bbq pork before, ever, so a big thanks for posting this recipe! :)

I just came to your blog via one of my favorite quilting blogs. You know how that works: make dinner in the Crock Pot then you have more time to sew. SInce then, I have been busily sending EVERYONE I know a link, especially those friends I work with.
I tried the Pulled Pork this weekend. Hoily cow (or should I say Holy pig?), it was delicious. Smelled insanely good. Served it with home-made mac & cheese. The only change I made was to saute the onions first -- I just like the flavor of the onions better when I do that.
I plan on working my way through the rest of your dishes. Keep up the good work!

This is one of the best and easiest bbq recipes ever! Hubby and I love it! Today I was short on ketchup so I used the remaining 1/2c and then subbed tonkatsu sauce for the rest and it was even better! YUM! We get organic pork shoulder roasts locally that just can't be beat for quality.
- May 20, 2009 at 9:48 PM
This pulled pork recipe was amazing. I made it for a co-worker's birthday at school. Everyone raved and asked for the recipe. My 11 year old daughter loved it too. It was so easy to make and we had awesome leftovers. THANKS!

Ok, wow. I did this recipe with 3.5# of chicken breast (fat removed), and replaced 1/4 cup of catsup with the same amount of apple vinegar. I also took the cover off for an hour or so near the end to make it thicker. EXCELLENT as a sandwich on jalapeno-cheddar bread, served with a cashew-raisin salad. Usually I go direct to freezing the leftovers, but doubtless we'll both want sandwiches tomorrow.
Next time I will see if the store has sugar-free catsup, because 20 oz. is still quite a bit. I got 13 sandwiches worth of meat out of this (which is 50 cal of catsup per sandwich(!)), at about 75 cents per serving. Each serving is 170 calories and 2.3 grams of fat.

I made this for dinner and it was awesome! Thanks for the great recipe! I posted it on my blog and linked back to you ☻
Thank you
- February 22, 2010 at 1:47 PM
I may have a solution as to why some people got too much liquid and thus a watered down flavor. I made this for my husbands office. I started it overnight and the meat was up to the top of my crockpot.
Well the juices from the meat overflowed so I had to move some of the meat to another crockpot. I only moved the meat and then added some of the left over sauce recipe I couldn't fit in the original pot and that 2nd pot had awesome flavor but the original crockpot was alot less flavorful.
I am guessing the amount of water content in the pork might be the reason why some posts got a watered down flavor. I think not adding all the sauce recipe at the beginning of the cooking might help so if you have alot of juice from your pork mid way, you can drain it off and then add the other part of the sauce recipe.
Otherwise I got great reviews from my husbands office.
To fix the original pot of meat (less flavorful one) I just made a little more of the sauce recipe, mixed both pots together after I drained most of the juice from the original crockpot. tasted great! THANKS!

Thank you for putting all these recipes down. I am not a true crockpot person, but I am becoming one little by little. This site is my go-to place whenever I am planning to crockpot. I am telling everyone I know about your site. I tried the BBQ pork with some adaptations. I didn't have enough ketchup, so I used some salsa. Everyone really loved it. It was a giant pork roast. We don't have to worry about sandwiches or whatever for a couple of days. Thank you!

Mmmm!!! I used regular white vinegar since I had no other vinegars on hand and it turned out great! I didn't have any problems with blandness, although next time I'll add more hot sauce, and I did crank it up to high for about half an hour with the lid off at the end. Now I have pulled pork for lunch tomorrow--cue coworker envy!

YUM! This turned out really well. I also used white vinegar since I was out of the apple cider variety and it was still good. May daughters told me the house "smells like a restaurant" - very tasty and tangy with a lot of sauce - no need for additional bbq sauce, which I've needed using other recipes. Thanks!

I followed this recipe exactly except for the fact that I cut it in half and used chicken (boneless skinless thighs) and it was DELICIOUS. After 8 hours I didn't think it tasted quite right, but then I stirred it, broke up the chicken and left it in for another hour or so. Eventually it tasted like pulled pork from a barbecue place!

I am making this for the third time right now. My husband has never raved about any crockpot recipe until this one. Thank you so much, Stephanie.

Wow..really late to this post. Very much like my basic Pulled Pork before I starting experimenting. There doesn't seem to be a way to ruin this dish. The 24oz. of Ketchup is the measure of weight and the measuring cups are 8 ounce measures of volume, thus the 24 oz of ketchup fitting into 2-8 oz measuring cups. Common mistake. Cook on ! :D

I just have to tell you how much I love your blog! I'm home by myself with two kids most of the time while my husband travels with work and having good crockpot recipes has made life amazingly easier! Thank you for your commitment to your crockpot and honest feedback that is now making a huge difference in my life! I guess that sounds cheesy but a good, easy dinner isn't something to take for granted. :)

Millions and millions of years ago there was a Galactic Pastaration, a collective of Extra-Pastarials inhabiting planets throughout the universe.
However, the Galactic Pastaration was ruled by the evil overlord Linguinu (prawn: Lin-Gwee-Noo), an oppressive power-hungry dictator who sought the destruction of anyone who opposed his rule.
Linguinu imprisoned the Noodlerians who opposed him and brought them to the Earth in a spacecraft that looked very conveniently like a Food Cart with engines capable of hyperspace travel strapped to it.
He then stacked them all before a large volcano on the Earth and boiled them alive.
Unfortunately, Linguinu was a terrible cook and overcooked the Noodlerians. To this day their oily essences, what is known as Eatins' (Eatings) still remain behind trapped in our world and they are the sole cause of all the evils in the world.
L. Flan Cupboard was the first person to discover these Eatins' and identify them as the cause of the world's and mankind's ills. He also brought forth the plight of the humble Tomatoes whom he claimed he could hear screaming when sliced. He published many more of his spiritual findings in a book aptly called 'Diuretics'.
Now, it is possible for these Bad Eatins' to become Good Eatins'. The first step is being pastaudited with a device known as a Linguin-I-Meter. The Linguini-I-Meter can be used to not only measure one's levels of Good and Bad Eatins' but can also be used to rehabilitate these Bad Eatins'.
Now these Linguin-I-Meter sessions can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. Remember though, you're not only getting your Eatins' measured but rehabilitated and cured as well!
There are many who will mock those who believe. Do not listen to these SPs (Suppressive Pastas) and stay true to the faith brethren!
