Conferences Packed on the Salone del Gusto's Second Day
Visitor numbers for the second day of Salone del Gusto were up from the previous edition. Though Thursday at 6 pm attendance figures were slightly down from 2006, the drop was amply recovered in the course of the evening, and by Friday figures were up by 1,700 compared to 2006, for a total of 36,100. During the first two days the total number of visitors was 60,100.
"What's most interesting is not just the unexpected rise in visitors," said Roberto Burdese, president of Slow Food Italy, "but the fact that the joint Terra Madre-Salone del Gusto conferences also proved hugely popular: over 500 people for the debate on GMOs, and it was standing room only for the presentation of the Manifesto on Climate Change and the Future of Food Safety."

Medication really does have an important part to play - cognitive behaviour therapy, which is what my GP wanted son to use, can only work when one knows what not feeling anxious feels like, so one has something to aim for. If one has been anxious since birth, how on Earth, without medication to reset the brain, can one use CBT?

Dresser Top Makeover (Spring Cleaning)
A very unfortunate Before:
Note the enormous bucket of hairbows and the changing pad, which has not been used in some time, as Michaela Byrd is three now and potty trained.
I started with a big trash bag and tossed old diaper changing things, an empty (?!) box of thermometer covers, a tissue box with only one tissue, Natalie's "collection" of clothing tags, and various and sundry objets d'crap.
I also went through the dresser drawers. One in particular had not been opened in at least two years and contained a size 3 month Vegas onesie and two pairs of baby socks. And that was all. Once those were tossed, I had an empty drawer.
An empty drawer, can you believe it?!
It didn't stay empty for long. I didn't have any dividers, so I used a couple of child-size shoe boxes as makeshift organizers to hold very important items like "jewels" and Hello Kitty lip chapstick. And one must never underestimate the importance of an extra nightlight.
On to the dresser top!
There was an empty, dusty Southern Living at Home tray in Natalie's old room, so I brought it in to corral some smaller items.
The PB planter that holds brushes and combs
An old Avon container stores clips and barrettes (will come up with something better for the bows in the "bucket" later)
The giant label on the pink lotion was bothering me, so I ripped it off and wrote a favorite quote on the front:
The other side of the dresser has some framed "name art" that I quickly freehanded so they'd each have something to display. I found it slightly frustrating that by the time I had one area straightened out, they had destroyed the other side...
What looked like this:
Now looks like this:
I think the Spring cleaning might carry on into the summer, no?

Looks great. You're reminding me that I have so many little projects like that to do. Dressers are such clutter magnets here. Love the PB planter for storage and the Chanel quote :)

Love it! Oh, to have a little girl whose dresser I could make cute. I'm living vicariously through you :)

Looks good! I just cleaned out the top drawer in my 5 and 7 year old's dresser and used shoeboxes too-works great! Good luck keeping it clean-sometimes I feel like my children's goal is to just play where I've just cleaned!

Great transformation. Your daughter's room is adorable. Litte girls are the cutest!

The white tray looks great on the dresser and the box of Hello Kitty chapsticks in the dresser...looks like you've got 'girlie girls'!

- Kelli @ RTSM said...
It looks great! What a smart idea to use shoeboxes for organizers:) I need to clean out my boys dressers...but it is such a daunting task! I think Grant may still have some 3T stuff in his drawers and he is 5 1/2:)
- March 28, 2011 at 9:56 AM
- FrouFrouBritches said...
An empty drawer? What's that like? Love that tray! And they quote you wrote on the lotion bottle is percious! What a great idea! Don't ya just hate it when they mess up the neatness before you even get done cleaning? Mine always do that. The neatness never lasts more than 2-3 minutes. Looking good girl!

Looks so nice! I have that same white tray tucked away in a closet. It hasn't been used for a while. I think I might just go pull it out and get busy on re-doing my daughter's dresser top too. Thanks for the idea :)

Their room is adorable! I love the SLAH tray you used to corral everything on their dresser. And their bedding is precious! :)

I love the shoebox-as-drawer-divider idea...definitely stealing that one! And your bed before-and-after is hilarious!

- Carmen @ Life with Sprinkles on Top said...
Yay for purging! I'm sorry but I just laughed out loud that you still had the changing pad on there. :)
I love those kid size shoeboxes. We use them for all kinds of stuff around here. Actually my 10 year old covers them with pretty paper before she uses them. Gee, whose daughter is she? :)
So can I ask a favor since you're doing the commenting series? Could you mention the embedded comment form? I cannot comment on anyone's blog that uses that. And I've heard of other bloggers with the same issue. I am so bummed when I go to leave a comment and it's the embedded form. I've posted a little note about it in my sidebar so maybe if we get lots of bloggers mentioning it, people will change their comment forms to the pop-up.
And now the longest comment in history has come to an end. haha!

- Richella said...
A great post, Amanda!! My favorite parts? Your coining the term objets d'crap (you are so darn funny) and your penning that Coco Chanel quotation on the lotion bottle. In purple, of course, to coordinate with the room. Awesome!
Spring cleaning will need to last at least until the autumn around here.
- March 28, 2011 at 1:03 PM
- Erin S. said...
It looks fabooolous! Even Coco would approve. Seriously, why do we all put off doing stuff like this when it makes you smile every time you see it? You should be smiling--it looks so pretty now :).
- March 28, 2011 at 1:15 PM

I love it! Too funny with the Coco quote! I'm so glad you came and commented on my blog because now I get to discover yours! Definitely a new follower! hope you get to visit me again soon!

- The Mommy Therapy said...
Love it! Just did this to my baby girl's dresser top, now thinking of adding a mirror top for extra fun...though probably a lot of extra cleaning too so I may be rethinking.
Anyway, it looks great and I love the idea of getting rid of the commercial lotion sticker and making it fantastic on your own.
Great job!

- Cathy Wall said...
Love the tray to "corral" things, so sophisticated! Always good to use what you have and if you don't have it, improvise, (shoe boxes work!)
When time allows I'll be back to look over your series on blog commenting...

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Love your idea of writing on the pink bottle! Plus I love the quote.

- Bella Michelle said...
You did a great job! It looks so fresh and totally different (which always makes me want to tackle other areas.)
I have that same tray, but my cats have taken it over as a cat bed. It sits on an ottoman in our living room! At least it keeps them technically off the furniture.

Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier, Amanda. You've got a really cute blog here. Great job getting everything organized in your girls' room. Funny, I've been working on my girls' rooms today, too. Can't fight that "urge to purge"!

I am sorry I am so late in telling you thank you for coming by my party! What a weird busy day for me!
So, here I am!
And I tell you--WOWOW--
Are your girls wondering what in the world is going on?
Momma's on a purging rampage?
I'll bet, like my girls did when they were small, after I'd cleaned some stuff out, they want to be in their room even more because it just feels better to them when it's tidy? I guess it's like that for us taller (I won't say grown up) girls, too.
It is a constant battle- yes- it lasts all seasons, not just Spring and Summer, no?
THANK YOU for coming by my place and sharing! I am so inspired by you!
P.S. What's next? :)

Does it make me completely pathetic that I am envious of your "before" picture?
I so recognize those yellow shoe boxes! We have a plethora of them at our house as well!
I am inspired to clean something tomorrow! Yay! Now please bless the inspiration lasts through the night!

Doesn't it feel good to give order to something? Having an empty drawer is a good sign, you must have done some serious purging! Things are looking good in the girls' room.

It looks great! I was wondering about the changing pad, lol. I would love to work on my daughters bedroom, especially since we are about to transition to toddler bed. BUT my 6 year old can't stop writing on or cutting things, so I'm not sure it's worth it!

A Public Health Approach to Preparing Tomorrow's Pain Leaders
Meet the Needs of Those Suffering from Pain
Pain is one of the most complex, challenging problems clinicians face. Many health care providers feel inadequately prepared to assess and manage pain. As a public health issue, chronic pain places a significant burden on the health care system. Access to pain management has emerged as a fundamental human right advocated by the United Nations and the World Health Organization.
Become a Pain Leader
The first and only multidisciplinary postgraduate pain curriculum of its kind in the United States, the Pain Research, Education, and Policy (PREP) program offers a diverse curriculum. We address a range of pain-related topics such as the neurobiology of pain, the ethical and sociocultural aspects of pain, palliative care and end of life, public policy and legislation, and advocacy and communication. We also address research methods, clinical issues, and the pharmacology of pain. Our students come from a broad cross-section of fields; this interprofessional approach provides students with the sophisticated knowledge and practical skills necessary to take on the challenges and complexities of pain.
Join Our Flexible Programs
PREP offers multiple educational opportunities for students interested in the study of pain: an MS in Pain Research, Education and Policy; a Joint MS-Pain Research, Education, and Policy/Master of Acupuncture; and Certificates in Advanced Study of Pain Topics; and blended learning. Additional cross-institutional programs are currently in development.
PREP welcomes many acclaimed lecturers. View videos from past events.

Certificate Program Director: Nancy Southern, EdD
Organizations are made up of people, but they rarely change and adapt as well as people do. Leading organizational transformation requires an understanding of the nature of transformation, personal experience of transformation, the ability for authentic leadership, and knowledge of organizational culture, systems, and processes that support change.
Becoming a Change Agent
At Saybrook we believe that we can change the world by acting in ways that are socially responsible and ethical, and that engage the human spirit. The Leading Organizational Transformation certificate provides the learner with the opportunity to develop organizational systems knowledge and practical skills needed to be an effective leader and change agent in whatever professional setting he or she chooses.
Develop the practical skills to understand organizational cultures and teach organizations large and small how to adapt in positive ways
The certificate in Leading Organization Transformation consists of four three credit courses, a three-credit practicum, and a one-credit integrative paper. Required Courses: ORG 7032, 7070, 7076, 7096
Practicum:The practicum must be directly involved with leading transformation in any type of organization. You may work with a defined project in your own organization or contract with another organization. With the assistance of the faculty advisor, you will develop a project plan, which constitutes the first assignment. A mid-project reflective status report and a final project summary are required.
Integrative Paper or Project: The last activity in the certificate program is writing a final paper that integrates what you've learned from the four courses and the practicum. This culminating assignment also gives you an opportunity to assess your strengths, identify further learning needs, and develop a specific plan for continuing your personal and professional development in the area of organizational transformation. The paper provides the opportunity to demonstrate praxis by applying theory to practice.
Learning Objectives
Upon completing this certificate, you will:
- Understand the breadth and depth of transformational change
- Be able to critically evaluate existing theories and models of organizational transformation
- Be able to work with some of the tools, techniques, and practices now available
- Have an enhanced capacity to guide successful transformation efforts
- Appreciate the cultural, ethical, and psychological aspects of transformation and be able to apply your work with compassion and respect.
Learning/Teaching Approach
Once you have enrolled in the certificate program in Leading Organizational Transformation, please contact the certificate director above to develop a plan based on your area of interest. You will then work through the courses, using the learning guides available on the Saybrook online learning platform, and selecting instructors that best complement your learning objectives.
The next section of the certificate, the practicum, is planned with a faculty advisor. The practicum is tailored to the professional needs of the student and requires the direct involvement of leading transformational change in an organization. You will need to consider your learning interests and find an organization in which to work that will enable you to meet the course requirements and, ideally, complete the work within a semester.
The Practical Value of This Certificate
Businesses, as well as public, nonprofit, and community organizations strive to develop new cultures, structures, systems, and processes that enable them to thrive in an ever-changing world. To accomplish this, they need leaders who can envision and facilitate the needed transformation. Since we do not yet have enough people with the desire and ability to lead transformational change, these skills are highly valued. Professionals with specialized training in leading transformation might find themselves in a variety of leadership roles where change and transformation are needed. People with these skills can choose to be leaders holding positions in the organizations or become organizational consultants.

Latest on R.A. Dickey: Two sides are not close to a deal
Jim Bowden of ESPN says while progress has been made in contract negotiations, the Mets and R.A. Dickey are "not even close" to a new deal.
Dec. 2, 1:50 pm: In a post to Twitter, Buster Olney says the perception among rival executives is that it's now much easier to trade R.A. Dickey without a PR backlash now that they've signed David Wright.
Dec. 2, 9:37 am: The Rangers are interested in acquiring R.A. Dickey from the Mets, reports T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com.
According to Sullivan, the Rangers want to meet with the Mets regarding Dickey at the Winter Meetings.
The Rangers originally selected Dickey in the 1996 first-year player draft. He went 16-19 with a 5.72 ERA 77 games and 33 starts with the Rangers from 2001-2006. The Rangers sent Dickey to the Minor Leagues in 2005 so he can begin learning to throw a knuckleball.
Michael Baron, ContributorDec. 2, 1:50 pm: I don't think it's as simple as those rival executives suggest. I think most fans understand the team needs to improve, and trading Dickey – one of the few players with any trade value on the roster – might be that ticket to do so. But while many fans understand that, they still don't want the team to trade Dickey. The connection he has with the fans is undeniable, and that has significant value as well.
Dec. 2, 9:37 am: If R.A. were to wind up in Texas, his career would officially come full circle. It remains to be seen if the two teams can find a match, and it's worth noting that Texas reportedly was unwilling to deal top prospect Jurickson Profar (a shortstop) in a deal for Justin Upton. Mike Olt could be an option although he projects more as a corner infielder at this time. No matter what, like I said yesterday about a deal with the Royals for Wil Myers, Texas has to be weary of dealing such young, high ceiling guys for a 38-year-old pitcher.
Previous updates and information on R.A. Dickey...
Contract: The Mets exercised their $5 million option for Dickey for 2013. He can become a free agent after next season.
Stats: Dickey went 20-6 with a 2.73 ERA, having allowed 192 hits and 54 walks with 230 strikeouts in 233 2/3 innings. He became the first Met to win 20 games since Frank Viola in 1990, and won the 2012 National League Cy Young Award.
- Dec. 1, 2012: In a post to his blog for ESPN, Buster Olney says the Mets have increased their offer to R.A. Dickey, although it is not known if it's close to what Dickey is seeking.
- Dec. 1, 2012: The Mets have fielded six or seven calls from teams that would like to meet at the Winter Meetings and discuss trading for R.A. Dickey, reports CBS Sports' Jon Heyman.
- Nov. 30, 2012: MetsBlog's Matthew Cerrone said the two sides are considering a meeting in Nashville next week, with all key parties present, at which point the situation could hopefully reach a conclusion, assuming any last minute efforts to trade him fall short. Right now, people in baseball tell Cerrone the Mets can probably lock up Dickey for the next three years at around $25 million.
- Nov. 27, 2012: A team source told Mike Puma of the New York Post that if the Mets extend R.A. Dickey's contract, he will 'almost definitely' not be traded this winter.
- Nov. 21, 2012: The Mets still prefer to sign Dickey, but are listening to trade offers for him, writes Jayson Stark of ESPN.
- Nov. 17, 2012: The Mets have offered a two-year contract extension to R.A. Dickey, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.

Slow Cooker Meatballs in Peanut Chile Sauce Recipe
I made these fantastic meatballs last night for some friends, and they were so well-received I figured I better hurry up and share them with the Internet. I cheated and used store-bought already cooked meatballs, but you certainly could make your own to use.
I'm pleased to see that our friendly neighborhood Trader Joe's is selling chicken meatballs that don't have any added bread crumbs or other gluteny filler in the deli meat section. If you don't live close to a Trader Joe's, Aidells makes a gluten free meatball (read the label carefully--the Teriyaki flavor is NOT SAFE!).
Anyhow, the 7 of us (4 adults, three kids, aged 3 to 8.5) all really liked the flavor: creamy and slightly coconuty with a bit of spice.
The Ingredients.
serves 10
40 already cooked meatballs (frozen or fresh)
2 tablespoons chunky peanut butter
1 cup canned coconunt milk (I used light, it was fine. If using regular, shake well and include the cream on top)
1 tablespoon red chile paste (jarred, in the Asian cooking aisle)
2 teaspoons fish sauce (in Asian cooking aisle, surprisingly inexpensive, although I bet you could substitute a gluten free soy sauce and not notice much of a taste difference)
1 1/2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
The Directions.
I used a 4 quart slow cooker. It's okay to use a 6 quart, but decrease cooking time by about an hour.
Put meatballs into slow cooker (frozen is fine). Add peanut butter and coconut milk. Drop in a gollop of red chile paste, then add fish sauce and sugar. Stir as well as you can to combine---it won't be perfect because the peanut butter will still be clumpy. No worries.
Cook on low for 4-6 hours, high for 2-4, or until peanut butter mixture is fully melted and the meatballs are heated throughout.
Serve as a hot appetizer, or over long grained basmati rice as a meal.
The Verdict.
These are delicious!! I ate 3 cold for breakfast, and they still were quite tasty. The spice of the sauce is noticeable, but kind of mellows when eaten with the meatball. If your meatballs have a kick to them on their own, cut back on the chili paste. We all really liked the bit of crunch from the chunky peanut butter, but if you aren't a crunchy person, by all means use creamy.

I think that's a bottle of "Sambal" in the picture, right? For those that don't know, Sambal is, according to CookThink.com:
Sambal is a spicy Southeast Asian condiment made, in its simplest form, from chile peppers and salt. A more elaborate sambal may contain onion, lime juice, lemongrass, sugar, garlic, oil and/or vinegar. You will find sambal in a jar or bottle at an Asian food market or in the international aisle at the grocery store.
There are many varieties of sambal. Sambal Oelek is the kind you're most likely to find in the U.S. ("Oelek", "Olek" or "Ulek" refers to the mortar and pestle used to create sambal in Indonesian kitchens.) One Malaysian version, Sambal belacan, is made with shrimp paste. Sambal ikan bilis has dried anchovies in it. Sambal kemiri contains candlenuts.
Generally speaking, any sambal adds a dark, fiery flavor to dishes. A dollop of sambal can enliven some plain rice or a simply cooked piece of meat.
Sambal, if I'm not mistaken, while delicious -- is not typically a "curry." But I've been known to be wrong on (Millions!) occasion.

These sound so good! One thing...I really can't stand fish in any of its forms. Is the fish sauce completely untasteable? Do you think the recipe would work without it?
- March 7, 2010 at 5:52 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Niki,
I couldn't taste it at all. I already had it in the house because I had made a Pad Thai earlier in the week. If you know you're never going to use it again, substitute soy sauce. You're only using two teaspoons, so I think it would work quite well as a subs.

1) This sounds amazing and I'm absolfreakinglutely going to be making these meatballs. The Boy's baseball season starts soon and I'll be busting out the crockpot (which has been on hiatus since football season ended) once again.
2) All Hail Globalization! There are no words for how incredibly psyched I am that I have each and every one of the required ingredients in my house at this very moment. A cool, new dinner that requires not a single purchase? You can't see me, but I'm shivering with delight.

How do you think it would taste with SunNut Butter?
- March 7, 2010 at 8:02 PM
Love your blog, but I think this is my first comment!
Anyway, I have looked into the fully-cooked meatball options in my vicinity and it looks like they are all either spiced/flavored to be Italian meatballs OR Aidell's pineapple teriyaki OR Aidell's buffalo flavor.
What flavor were your pre-cooked meatballs and do you think any or all of these would work?
- March 7, 2010 at 10:33 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Tiffany,
I haven't tasted sun butter, so I'm not really sure, but if you like the flavor and use it often as a PB sub, I bet it would work just fine.
Kate, my meatballs were chicken and sun dried tomato. I'd go with the Italian, if it were me!

This sounds so good! I've never come across gluten-free meatballs in the store. Of course, I kind of gave up long ago and assumed all were not safe. While we don't have a TJ near us, it's good to know there are some out there. I would LOVE this recipe.

I didn't read the recipe. I didn't need to. And I didn't even need to look at the picture. Because anybody who knows anything about balls of meat knows its whats INSIDE that makes them rock. And your title said it all. My mouth is really watering as I am currently trying to decide whether or not I should have a bowl of cereal for dinner. oh god these meatballs. If I had more than 1 square inch of counter space I might invest in a slow cooker instead I am just stuck with a slow brain.

In my neighborhood, sambal is like tomato sauce with pepper. It's hot, highly seasoned and spiced.

Could you make this using "meatless" meatballs? It looks delish!
- March 16, 2010 at 10:16 AM
Unfortunately this recipe did not turn out for me. Given the positive feedback I must have done something wrong. After about 4 hours on low I realized the sauce was burning. I was able to salvage a few meatballs, but the sauce wasn't edible. Any thoughts on what might have happened?

This recipe was a HUGE hit at our house! I made my own turkey meatballs since all the prepare ones have their own seasoning. I browned them and then put them in the crockpot with all the other ingredients. It took no time at all and I served them with ramen noodles and broccoli. Even the picky eaters loved every bite!! Thank you!

- March 18, 2010 at 12:46 AM
- Liz said...
Loved these, and so did my daughter - who doesn't like peanut butter by itself! I used creamy peanut butter and increased the ingredients a little so I had enough sauce to coat the whole-wheat linguine I served them over.
- March 18, 2010 at 8:51 AM
Mmmmm...I am in the process of making these as I type.
Someone asked if they could be made with meatless meatballs. I sure hope so! I used 1 package of turkey meatballs & 1 package of meatless meatballs (both from TJ's).
One thing I would do over is to wait to add the meatballs until I have all the other ingredients mixed together. I put the frozen meatballs in the crock, and then by the time I had added the rest of the ingredients and went to stir them, they were frozen into a big lump! I was able to break them up and bit and stir, but it would be easier to just add them last.
I'll let you know how it turns out!
- March 18, 2010 at 5:27 PM
ok...here's my update.
First off..they were very good. I think I liked it better with the Turkey meatballs than with the meatless meatballs, only because the meatless meatballs were seasoned.
I don't think I mentioned it before, but I also doubled all the sauce ingredients. Mainly because I like sauce, but now I'm glad I did...otherwise there would hardly have been enough to flavor the meatballs.
That said, I only cooked it for about 2 hours on high and if it had gone any longer it probably would have been too burnt to eat. Luckily, I came home right when the edges and bottom was getting crisp so nothing was lost.
Overall, great flavor!

Like Susan, I made my own meatballs, browned them then did the rest of the recipe the same. It came out great and I have been eating the leftover happily!
- March 21, 2010 at 4:50 PM
I loved this recipe! Next time though I'm going to double the sauce ingredients...it's so good on the rice we just couldn't get enough of it. Thanks so much!
- March 29, 2010 at 3:13 PM
i have a confession...i didn't use a slow cooker to make this dish. and i altered it a bit. but the sauce is awesome! i put the sauce together on the stove and added chopped chicken breast and served everything over rice/steamed spinach. delish - will definitely check out other recipes and use my slow cooker next time (I just didn't have time to let it go very long tonight!). Thanks!
- April 18, 2010 at 7:56 PM
I came across your site via a friend and thought this looked and sounded amazing and was the first thing I tried.....but apparently I did something wrong because they did not come out very good. :( I couldn't find fish sauce so used soy instead, nor could I find chili paste so used chili sauce....maybe its not as hot? Or maybe the meatballs I got weren't as good? Im not sure, but will keep trying.
- October 10, 2010 at 8:34 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
ah. I'm sorry Aimes! The soy sauce instead of fish sauce is an okay swap, but chili sauce is kind of like ketchup. It's really sweet and I think that was the problem.

New to slow cooking here. Can't wait to try this out. Any thoughts on doubling every but the meatballs in order to have it saucy in order to serve it over noodles or rice?

Very good. I made these yesterday for a baby shower. I made a double batch and they were all gone. Fortunately I got to try a couple. I traveled to two different stores and could not find the chili paste. I used red curry paste instead. I like alot of heat, but know others aren't as adventurous as me, so held back. It could have used a little more kick. I had the same problem as Liz with the frozen meatballs sticking together. I intended to cook them on slow, but jump started it with high, so I could get the meatballs to thaw enough to stir the stuff. Due to other comments, I was worried about them over cooking, but five hours on slow was perfect! They were served as is as an appetizer. I am not a big fan of frozen meatballs, but was short on time. Next time I think I'll make my own meat balls, and try to hunt down the red chili paste. I am definitely making this again!
- November 15, 2010 at 3:43 AM
i made these for my oscar party last night & they were a huge success! everyone loved them & were asking me for the recipe. i used 2 packages of trader joe's party size frozen meatballs, and just doubled the ingredients except for the light coconut milk (only used 1 can.) it came out soo delish! such an easy recipe & it was just nice to let them cook in the crock pot for a few hours...although i did have to give it a good stir at the end since the peanut butter was still in big melted clumps at the top (i had stirred the ingredients before cooking as well)...but after letting them sit in warm mode for a bit, they were all perfectly coated!
- February 28, 2011 at 3:20 PM
My husband is a Marine, and he has been away at a school during the weeks. Every Sunday, before he heads back, I cook up a few dishes and portion them out for him in containers, so he can have home-cooked food,ready to heat and eat! With this recipe (that he ALWAYS requests), I make up the sauce on the stove top, put 5-6 frozen meatballs into each of 5 containers, then spoon on the sauce. I, too, double it, because he LOVES the sauce on his rice, which he makes in a rice cooker in his barracks room. One of the other Marines had a taste of these and asked my husband "Is your wife Mexican?". No, this dish is certainly not Mexican-inspired, but he has always thought Mexican women are the best cooks! HA! My husband giggled and said something like "No, but give her any recipe and she can follow it perfect"! This is one of our family favorites and I just wanted you to know, it's US Marine approved!

I wished so very much that we'd like this recipe. I followed it exactly and found it to be just too rich. Maybe, if ever I were to try it again, I would use natural peanut butter, as that cooks better. The recipe is so easy to prepare and I bet in a crunch you could use pre-packaged meatballs. I will surely use the tip about refrigerated the coconut milk on other dishes- it works great.

Large urns overflowing with mums complete the look.
8 Ways to Simplify Your Morning

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
East Carbon City may now be feeling the full effects of the economic recession as the city is dealing with a shortcoming of $130,000 on the current budget and the general fund deficit of $750,000.
The city council held a special work meeting on Friday evening to discuss budget issues that the city is currently facing. Council members Andy Urbanik and Cheryl McFarland and City Attorney Jeremy Humes met with Greg Marsing, of Smuin, Rich and Marsing Certified Public Accountants, about the current city audit and heard of the challenges the city is facing.
Before sending off the information to the state auditor's office, council members put language in the audit to state that the city will strive to use the allotted funds in the best interests of the city and those who are served by city operations, as revenue increases the funds will be used to make necessary improvements in government operations roads and recreation improvements, utility improvements and purchase of supplies and equipment that are appropriate and beneficial.
According to the audit, East Carbon City's revenue increased last year due to an unexpected increase in tippage fees and an increase in the amount of governmental grants received last year. The city has issued refunding bonds in an effort to reduce interest costs associated with bond issues and this action will help the city substantially, according to the audit. Rising costs of city employees health benefits are a continued burden on the city and the mayor and city council are committed to maintaining the existing level of benefits for city employees.
Listed in the audit were 12 findings that the city will need to address. The findings were listed in the audit as:
*Lack of knowledge to apply the GAAP (General Accounting Accepted Principals);
*Failure to record receivables;
*Failure to deposit public funds within three days;
*Expenditures in excess of budget;
*Deficit fund balance;
*Failure to record transactions accurately;
*Failure to reconcile accounts;
*The city does not have a definitive purchase policy;
*Failure to advertise budget hearings;
*Failure to formally adopt a certified tax rate;
*Failure to submit uniform business permits;
*City employees using public funds to purchase products and services for their personal use.
While it feels like each and every finding is making things worse for the city, Humes said that most of the findings are nothing brand new that the council was just informed about. He also suggested that the council members should each be assigned a few of the findings to review and see what the city can do to fix them, but noted that a number of them have already been dealt with. In the 2009 audit, there were 14 findings listed and Councilman James Wayman said he thinks the next audit for the city should show the improvements that have already been made.
Currently the city is facing a $130,000 shortfall on their current budget of $1,019,725 as along the way the city has ended up with an overstated revenue, thinking that more revenue would be received over the last few years. The budget has actually been balanced each year, Humes said. He provided an example of the city saying if $100 is brought in, then the city will spend $100. But instead of $100, the city brought in only $80.
"That has happened over the last few years and that is how we have ended up with this deficit," Humes said.
The city was not ignoring the budget and overspending, the problem was that the city was spending what was budgeted and it was balanced but the city did not get the money due to overstating, Humes explained. The city had projected to earn in interest on some accounts, but with interest rates at zero percent, the city is not earning any interest from money sitting in various accounts. To help stop problems like this from occurring again, McFarland suggested that the city needs to review financial statements on a quarterly or monthly basis and work on making changes if needed.
When the city overspends from the general fund, it is using money from other funds because all of the departments are in the same back account. Humes explained that the city is still able to operate because the city has cash in other funds such as special revenue fund, sewer funds, water funds and others. Those accounts are basically subsidizing the general fund which has been ok because the city has not been charged for those bonds by the state for three years. But since the state has sent the city a bill for $584,000, the city needs to look at changing this method, Humes said.
"You can't do that forever," he said, saying this problem has been going on over a three-year period. He feels that the city did not have any malicious intent with this by going out and overspending on purpose.
Helping to keep the city afloat are the water and sewer departments, McFarland said. Another issue the city discussed is that property taxes have not been raised for 20 years. Last year the city took in about $304,000 from property taxes and this year the city is budgeted for $265,000, although council members questioned whether that was a correct figure.
Another area that is being focused on is the general fund deficit of $750,000. From 2007 through 2010, the city's general fund deficit grew from $51,000 to $163,000 to $345,000 and to $500,000 last year. To fight this problem, the city needs to pull revenues back in line and match expenses so that the bleeding stops and then take little pieces of money from various places to start paying back the deficit in the general fund. While paying back the money is important, the city should not get too overly aggressive as far as paying back the debt, Urbanik said. He said the city should make timely payments showing proof that the city will pay off debts.
Suggestions for the city to follow included creating a plan to be put into place so that any new council members coming into office would be ready to deal with any budget problems from their first day and that each department in the city needs to work on having reserves in the event of something happening, Wayman said. Urbanik suggested that the city start working on a budget in May, one month before the fiscal year ends in June.
The budget deficit is still a serious issue, Humes said. There are definite steps the city can take to address the deficit and in a few years, if the city follows through on correcting the problems, things can get better, he said.

While shearling is typically associated with cozy-but-ugly footwear, when this plush fabric is put into the right hands, it becomes the key component for fall's hottest outerwear. That's right: this season, the slightly cropped shearling jacket is the must-have piece for fashion fanatics around the world. Just think of it as the next generation of the leather moto or the cold-weather replacement for your army jacket. In other words, it's the on-trend outerwear choice that will keep you toasty and terribly chic through winter's more brutal months. Whether you pick a piece that's groomed or shaggy, darkly hued or classic white, the shearling jacket is an of-the-moment statement piece and the perfect subject for today's edition of Go Buy Now!As we briefly discussed in Looking Forward To: Fall Fashion, this essential item was all over the F/W 10 runways. Though we adored the tufted versions shown at 3.1 Phillip Lim and Pringle of Scotland, the styles Christopher Bailey designed for Burberry Prorsum's fall collection are definitely hot-ticket items. Pieces like the Shearling Funnel Neck Aviator Jacket ($3595), Military Doeskin Aviator with Double Collar ($3595), and Soft Shearling Cropped Aviator Jacket with Funnel Neck ($3595) boast wildly oversized collars, loads of tumbled leather strap-and-buckle details, and enough jaunty, Amelia Earhart spirit for any fashion lover. Best of all, Bailey paired these sturdy, sizeable options with gorgeously delicate ensemblesÂ--like a Gauze Jersey Gathered Dress ($2495) or a Panelled Lace Pencil Skirt ($1095)Â--in utilitarian colors for a drab-meets-fab collection we adore. We're not the only ones who love the look: these jackets were so wonderfully wearable, Burberry Prorsum yielded to high customer demand and made them available for pre-order as soon as the show closed. But don't worry if you haven't gotten on the waitlists yet; we've tracked down a slew of the most stunning options out there, so be sure to start shopping today!
1. JNBY Future Curly Lamb Jacket ($2000, 212.219.2529)
Recently launched at Shopbop.com, the Chinese-based design collective JNBY is cranking out some of fall's most desirable items. Case in point: their black-on-black take on the shearling jacket. Unlike many of the other options out there, JNBY opted for a texture that is long and shaggy, giving the jacket a refined fanciness that's more luxurious that most military-inspired options. Plus, the curly lining reminds of the super cool jacket Penny Lane wore in Almost Famous, but with a more modern, cropped cut. Of course you don't have to break the bank to get your hands on an equally desirable coat. Aqua's Faux Shearling Jacket ($198) is a luxe alternative with a similar monochromatic scheme, while Meginn's Dree Faux Lather Jacket ($495) echoes JNBY's playful, shaggy lining.
2. ASOS Revive Aviator Shearling Jacket ($585)
As one of our top sources for on-trend clothing and accessories, ASOS impressed us once again with their sleek shearling jacket. The chocolate brown leather and contrasting shearling trim makes this a luxe outerwear option for both day and night. In true aviator fashion, this style comes equipped with cool buckled hardware and zip-up pockets, and would look great juxtaposed against a delicate frock. Not quite in your price range? ASOS has more great options to choose from like the Leather Aviator Jacket ($185), which comes in a similar dark brown shade and tan too!
3. Helmut Lang Shearling-Trimmed Jersey Jacket ($1175)
When it comes to this season's key shearling jacket, Helmut Lang tops our list with its ultra-chic iteration. The gray cotton-jersey contrasts nicely with the leather sleeves and the curly white lining will keep your look effortlessly cool. Wear it with a sleek maxi skirt and a stylish pair of wedge ankle boots for the perfect head-to-toe fall ensemble. If you are looking to make a similar statement without the heavy financial burden, Joe's Jeans' Shearling-Lined Cropped Zip Jacket ($198) boasts the same gray hue and funnel neckline.
4. Topshop Sheepskin Flying Jacket ($650)
We are totally smitten with Topshop's super edgy iteration of the sheepskin jacket. Once you throw on this darkly hued, heavy-duty design you instantly feel cool and warm. Additionally, we love how the exaggerated funnel collar looks very similar to the styles seen on the Burberry runway! Although we consider this to be a worthy investment indeed, Topshop also has a faux sheepskin version with the same rough and rugged attitude, the Sheepskin Biker Jacket ($160), for a fraction of the cost.
5. Bebe Shearling Oversized Collar Jacket ($149, 877.232.3777)
One of the things we like best about Bebe's shearling jacket is its distressed chocolate brown leather, which gives it a very vintage vibe. The worn-in look (also created by the off-white shearling lining) and adjustable straps at the cuff make it feel authenticÂ--like an actual fighter pilot wore it! The single-breasted boxy cut reinforces the cool bomber style of the jacket, making it an easy way to incorporate a borrowed-from-the-boys element to your feminine look. And how can you resist its more than agreeable price tag?
6. Zara Shearling Jacket ($80)
Not only is Zara's Shearling Jacket the lightest option in today's story, but it also happens to be the most wallet-friendly! The design is simple, but the plush collar and thick polyester shell will give you the warmth and comfort you are looking for. The coat is cut to hit just above the hips, so it would look great teamed up with a striped t-shirt and a pair of slouchy, cuffed trousers.Â--Jessica Baker

I want to share one of my favorite songs "You Were There." My song is for both my parents. I was very close with my parents all of my life and watching them decline has been a painful process. My father died last May. My mother has severe dementia and cannot really speak. But she still recognizes me and smiles with joy whenever I am near. Clicking the blue link plays my song:
YOU WERE THERE-5/7/13 Copyright 2011 by Judy Unger
Below are links to stories on my other blog:
I'll let my lyrics and pictures tell my story.
Copyright 2011 by Judy Unger
All my life, every day
You were there when I'd need you
All the time, I just knew; you'd be there
and you'd see me through
I've always known, I'm not alone . . .
You'd pick me up when I'd fall down
So I can see all the strength you gave me
Although I try, it's hard to say goodbye
to someone who's loved me all of my life
And when I'm sad, because you're not there
I'll still see your love everywhere
Everything that I did you'd applaud
You were right there watching me
as I grew, sharing joy and my heartache, too
I always knew, that I had you . . .
Now I'm so strong
I picked you up when you fell down
I've learned to see just how strong I could be
Although I try, it's hard to say goodbye
to someone who's loved me all of my life
And when I'm sad, because you're not there
I'll still see your love everywhere
When you are gone I'll say a prayer;
and I'll remember how you were there

Two people face aggravated driving while intoxication charges following separate alleged incidents.
n Justin J. Waldron, 25, Blue Street, Glenfield, was charged by Lewis County sheriffs deputies at about 12:30 a.m. Saturday on Swiss Road in the town of Croghan. Deputies said they attempted to halt his vehicle because it had a loud exhaust, but Mr. Waldron allegedly pulled the vehicle into a corn field and fled on foot. He was located a short time later leaving the field.
Deputies allege that his blood alcohol content was 0.18 percent, which is the minimum level to warrant an aggravated DWI count. A BAC of 0.08 percent or above is considered proof of intoxication under state law. He was additionally charged with having an inadequate exhaust.
Deputies had also encountered Mr. Waldron late Friday and charged him with disorderly conduct. Deputies said they had received a report at 10:30 p.m. of a disruptive person at a party at a residence on Swiss Road in Castorland and, upon arrival, Mr. Waldron allegedly ignored orders to leave the area with his ride. He became belligerent and shouted obscenities at police and others at the party, according to detectives. He is due to answer both charges in Croghan Town Court.
n Latia N. Towles, 27, of 236 N. Rutland St., lower apartment, was charged by Watertown police at about 11:30 p.m. Friday in the 100 block of Moulton Street. Her BAC was alleged to be 0.18 percent. She was also charged with making an improper right turn. She is due to answer the charges in City Court.
n Minh C. Huynh, 22, of 25718 Route 12, was charged with DWI by Jefferson County sheriffs deputies at about 8 p.m. Saturday after his vehicle struck a light pole and a parked vehicle on Route 37 in the town of Pamelia.
Deputies said Mr. Huynh told them he was traveling at about 60 mph while trying to pass an uninvolved vehicle when he realized he was approaching the entrance to a motel where he lives. He turned into the entrance, striking the pole and then hitting an unoccupied vehicle belonging to Charles J. Junot, Fort Drum. No one was injured.
Deputies allege that Mr. Huynhs BAC was found to be 0.14 percent. He was also charged with reckless driving, third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, speeding and making an improper or unsafe turn without signaling. He is due to answer the charges in Pamelia Town Court.

SCUBA aboard the Paul Gauguin
Even for guests who have never been diving, take advantage of the onboard SCUBA lessons. The Paul Gauguin is the only luxury ship in French Polynesia to offer PADI certification onboard for novice divers as well as classes at all levels, from snorkeling to advanced scuba diving techniques, supervised by the personal staff of PADI dive masters.

POTSDAM Clarkson University has received state approval to offer nearly all of its graduate programs online.
Students soon will be able to pursue masters degrees in subjects such as chemistry, mathematics, physics and computer science without ever setting foot in a classroom.
The college has taken a major step forward in distance learning this semester. The school began offering a chance to enroll in online versions of 10 of its graduate programs in September.
Within a year, virtually all of the schools masters degree programs are expected to be available completely online.
These programs will follow the same curriculum as their physical counterparts, according to Kerop D. Janoyan, director of distance learning.
The focus is to provide distance versions of everything that we offer on campus, he said.
Before this semester, only students pursuing master of business administration degrees could participate in distance learning at Clarkson.
The college has 26 online-only students enrolled in its graduate programs now. Most have full-time jobs, and can pursue their college education only part-time.
The programs are open to anyone, but right now these busy professionals make up the main audience, Mr. Janoyan said.
Supply and demand dictates everything, he said. The demand right now has been working professionals, but it really is open to everybody.
The college does not yet offer online versions of every class for every major. The Distance Learning Department will work with faculty to fill in the blanks in the months to come.
We are eventually going to pursue it. Students technically can pursue them, but we dont have classes to satisfy everything yet, Mr. Janoyan said.
For now, the school is focused on offering only its graduate programs online, with no immediate plans to do the same for undergraduate courses. However, by improving the environment for online learning, the college is creating a way to address education, according to Mr. Janoyan. It opens up a new tool set for the whole university to use, he said.

Today was day two of our adventures in Disney World, Magic Kingdom edition. If you missed the last two days recaps you can go HERE AND HERE to catch up.
Baby Gurr understood what was going to be happening today better than I thought she would. She was very excited to be going to see Mickey and Minnie and Ariel and every one else. I was all happy because I was gonna get some princess hugs with photos.
We arrived at the park just past 9 AM. There were not a large amount of people there yet, but they were arriving in droves. We went to hop on the trolly to the park. At Animal Kingdom, the trolly people were nice. At Magic Kingdom, the trolly folks are not mean, but they damn well mean what the say. Ya'll better get ya asses behind, and stay behind that yellow line. Remember this if you make the trek to Magic Kingdom. You will be embarrassed if you do not listen to the "get back guy".
Take the boat across the pond to the entrance, less people and faster than the trolly, it was for us.
When we got in, behind the gates, the Beardess had to run to the bathroom because she had to tinkle something fierce.
We then got a map, mapped out our day and proceeded to fulfill all the dreams we dreamt pertaining to the Magic Kingdom of Walt Disney World. I was greeted awesomely and loudly by three older ladies, whom I perceived to be ladies of the night making their way home after their nightly duties. Tehy called me the King of the Hairy People. I "heyyyooo'ed" them!
Baby Gurr entering the magical land of magic.
We made our first ride, the Magic Tea Cups. It was great.
Then we went to It's A Small World. Now I can vividly remember this ride from the previous two or three times I have been here. Shit's creepy as hell. I'm telling you. I go into combat mode and formulate escape routes and lethal defense maneuvers, because I just know that all those dolls have a plan to really go ape shit on us one day. The song is creepy, the dolls look like Chuckie, they stare at you, some even wink at you. That shit is not right. If any of ya'll have been on that ride, you might not admit it, but you think the same thing.
Tip: Get the Fast Passes. They are worth it. Some things will not have long waits, those are the things you can do while waiting on the Fast Pass times. We waited five to ten minutes on every ride we had Fast Passes on, the regular line was an hour on average.
Baby Gurr went sweater shopping between rides.
This pose is the "get shit done" pose.
Baby Gurr's second birthday was Ariel themed. So no matter the wait, we were going to see Ariel and ride the Under the Sea ride. We headed that way pretty early. The line to see Ariel was not crazy, but the cave that the line meandered through was loud as hell. And filled with churrins. The high pitched screams of girls under the age of 7 are deafening. Put them in confined spaces, numbering into the twenties, if not thirties, and you have a Weapon of Mass Destruction.
This was hell. But, when we got to Ariel, it was great. Baby Gurr was not as scurred as she was yesterday, so we got a couple decent photos.
It was about time for lunch, and let me tell you something, there are lines for everything as the Disney World, except the bathrooms. So, pick a place to eat and go with it. We picked the Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe. It was ok. But I did get to see this old guy who I suspect was a body builder at some point, but was not anymore, but still wore the clothes. Lookie here.
Baby Gurr and the Beardess planning the rest of our afternoon. Baby Gurr was quite helpful.
After lunch, shit got real. I had to start using the brake on the stroller, which I have never done. I felt weird. Next, the park got oober more crowded. I learned something about churrins that I probably already knew but had forgotten until now. Churrins have no concept of personal space. They will back up to someone and not even care who it is. They will just go grabbing at legs because the person has on Khaki colored shorts just like their dad, but it is not their dad. Good times.
Yesterday I wrote about children who really are not children anymore being pushed around in strollers by their parents. My take is that if that child wipes their own ass, no way in hell I'm pushing them around in a stroller. So today,
This is someone who is atleast above the age of 40, and that is not a wheel chair. And they were out cold.
As the day began winding down, so did Baby Gurr. She was a straight up trooper today. She did everything with a smile and really enjoyed all the rides. Even at the end of the day, she was exhausted but she powered through.
As we were making our way towards the trolly to go home. These three women were running towards the trolly, which was not about to leave and had a whole empty car. So they were in danger of being left, in every other sane person's mind that is, not theirs though. This one lady tripped, because the athleticism she showed was comparable to a 500 pound person driving a Rascal. After she tripped, she flew threw the air about four inches off the ground, and in the most athletic way she could muster, tried to save herself with her plastic commemorative popcorn bucket. Didn't work, and she lay there weeping.
I truly felt sorry for the lady, the two young women with her did not and laughed. The lesson learned here is; it's ok to run to the trolly because you fear you might get left, but throw your commemorative Magic Kingdom popcorn mug away from the body so as to not crack the handle and make it inoperative for future uses.
Disney has mastered the art of parking. It is amazing and amazes me with pure amazement. Disney also has mastered predicting waiting times of lines. The way they flow traffic around Magic Kingdom is flawless. They even funnel traffic in certain areas so as to make people more likely to go into shops, because the shops look less crowded than outside and they have an exit at the other end. Brillaint.
Two important things to note. I did not get one single damn picture with a princess today. My heart hurts over this. I was gonna Teo this story, but thought better of it. Disney needs to make these princesses more available!
Also, I did get to eat a Mighty Casey Weiner. It was delicious.
My brain is tired. 8 hour drive home tomorrow, so I'm out.

Ben Gibbard from Death Cab From Cutie and actress and singer, Zooey Deschanel, are possibly the cutest indie couple on the face of the planet. It helps that Gibbard wrote the tune "I Will Follow You Into The Dark"–the one indie-folk tune that is probably played at more weddings across the world than any other.
