The Rangers currently have five defensemen under the age of
28 on their roster and two more top prospects on the way, so it's very likely
New York will be looking to add some offensive firepower with its first-round
pick, No. 15 overall in the NHL Draft.
Between now and June 24th, we'll take a look at some of the
forwards that the Rangers might be thinking about taking on draft
day. Today, we look at…
Alexander Khokhlachev

Shoots: L
Birthday: 9/9/93

Highlight Reel >
What They're Saying:
THN – "Another in a line of small, strong Russians,
Alexander Khokhlachev gets high marks for his competitive nature and strong
character traits. Khokhlachev made a big
statement about his intentions when he came this season to play in Windsor rather than
remain at home in the Kontinental League. Once here, he made an immediate impression. 'I'm not a huge fan, but I admit he's a
hard-working kid with skill,' a scout said. 'He's not a big kid either and it won't be easy for him, but I give him
credit. All the goals I've seen this kid
score have been hard-working goals.' Another scout compared him to Marc Savard from an offensive standpoint,
but he's more physical. He's not a
tremendously gifted skater, but that normally doesn't stop him from being an
aggressive forechecker. 'He's the kind
of kid who gets in on the puck and makes things happen,' a third scout
said. 'He's competitive and gets into
the middle of the action."
The Scouting Report – "Nobody was too sure what type of a player Khokhlachev would
be this season as most in OHL circles felt he was overshadowed a bit by fellow
Russian Vladimir Namestnikov. It didn't take long for him to make his presence
known, however, as Khokhlachev quickly established himself as one of the most
dangerous offensive forwards in the league. Offensively, his talent level is up
there with any player in the draft. He's very good in small spaces and has a
whole bag of puck tricks he uses frequently throughout the game. He's an
opportunistic scorer and if he shot more, would probably have eclipsed 40 goals
this past season as well. The issue with Khokhlachev comes down to his lack of
size and strength, and determining how much of an issue that's going to be for
him at the next level. His two-way game won't blow you away, so unless he can
find a way to add the muscle needed to play in the NHL, he's going to be a bit
of a risk."
Bruins 2011 Draft Watch – "Supremely talented, and could go significantly higher than
where we have him because of his elite skill and explosiveness. B2011DW has
some concerns about the other areas of his game, specifically, intensity,
consistency and overall effort levels in the areas of the rink where his skill
set doesn't translate as well (along the boards and in front of the net). He's
not very big, but has very good acceleration, separation gear and even the
shifty elusiveness that so many European players possess. When at his best,
he's flying around the ice, turning defenders inside out and wiring pucks to
the back of the net from just about any spot in the offensive zone. One NHL
scout we know absolutely loved Khokhlachev at the beginning of the year given
how seamless his transition was to the OHL, but as the season wore on and he
saw him more and more, the red flags started to surface about his overall
intensity and willingness to compete when the going gets rough. Solid two-way
player...when he wants to be. If he tightens it up in all zones and on most of
his shifts, he's easily a top-10 talent in this class."
Corey Pronman - "Alexander Khokhlachev came over from Russia this
season and helped his stock tremendously as he's one of the highest OHL
draft-eligible players despite being a few days away from being a 2012 draftee.
He has true plus puck skills with very notable hand-eye coordination that
allows him to stick-handle very well with displays of unique creativity. His
passing skills also range in the above-average to plus variety, as his vision
with the puck is great and his passes are generally crisp and on target. Alex
can at times be a victim of over-passing instead of taking the shooting lane,
which is unfortunate as his shot is actually quite solid. Khokhlachev does
exert notable work ethic defensively and in the crease area, but he's just
nowhere near an average physical game with a very immature body and he gets
pushed around too easily. His skating tool has pluses and minuses—on one hand
he has above-average agility and a good first step that allow him to be pretty
elusive, but the top speed barely touches pro level. Khokhlachev has one of the
top skill sets in the draft class, but the physical game will impede him going
forward. That isn't a huge concern though as it would be for most, as his 18th
birthday isn't until September so he is expected to be somewhat behind on the
growth curve."
Alan Bass – "'A lot of things had to come together to make
this happen and the Spitfires are very thankful to all those who were
involved,' said Spitfires Vice President and GM Warren Rychel upon being
informed that the IIHF approved Khokhlachev's transfer to the CHL. 'We are
excited to have Alexander join us in Windsor and are ecstatic that he is now
part of our organization. He has three years of eligibility to play with our
club and his offensive talent will be noticed right away. Alexander is a pure
goal scorer who was one of the most renowned players in Russia when he played for Moscow
Spartak and will be an impact player in our league.' Khokhlachev has made it clear to scouts and
general managers across the NHL that his goal is to be drafted as high as
possible when the entry draft comes around next June. 'Yeah, it's like that,' Khokhlachev said. 'In
the league I'm going to play the games are always attended by a number of NHL
scouts. If you play well, score and help your team then there will be bigger
chances to go high during the selections.'"
Elite Prospects – "An offensively extremely talented
striker. A very good skater with great creativity. A good playmaker but an even
better finisher. Has soft hands. Needs to gain strength."
Kyle Woodlief, Red Line Report – "The smallish Russian came
over to play in the Ontario Hockey League this season and proved he
could handle the rough going in North America, all while scoring a bushel
full of goals. Khokhlachev makes up for his lack of size with great puck skills
and creativity, and he has uncanny touch around the net. While he tends to be a
bit streaky, if he scores early in a game, watch out because he's likely to bag
a few more in short order."
Jess Rubenstein – "Very late 1st to early 2nd as he is a
small 5'10. He is a good worker and is
helped by playing for Windsor.
Huge reach at No. 15."

Thoughts: A big-time performance in the playoffs may have
convinced scouts that Khokhlachev is indeed worthy of a top-20 pick. It's an encouraging sign that he came over
from Russia
a year before being eligible for the NHL Draft. Alex Burmistrov did the same thing last year and both showed a
commitment to succeeding in North America. Khokhlachev has plenty of speed and offensive
skill, but is a little small and doesn't bring much else to the table
Normally the Rangers might be scared off by these
one-dimensional offensive players, but they have plenty of responsible two-way
guys and are in desperate need of game-breaking talent.
The last Russian player the Rangers chose was Mikhail
Pashnin, the team's seventh-round choice in 2009. The Rangers used their 2007 first-round
choice on Alexei Cherepanov.

Gallery I
Each May Selby Gallery invites one of the local art organizations to put on a show in Selby Gallery. This year's exhibition will feature the work of the Petticoat Painters, which came into existence more than fifty years ago to focus attention on the women artists who were living and working in Sarasota.
Gallery II
Selby Gallery II is always reserved to honor one or two artists who have lived and worked in Sarasota during most of their careers. Painter Julee Docking is the honoree for 2009.
[About the Petticoat Painters Group]
The Petticoat Painters is the oldest, continuously exhibiting women's art group in the United States. The group was formed in 1953 to showcase the talents of female artists at a time when women had difficulty getting their work exhibited. The group is limited to 20 Sarasota artists and prospective members have to be nominated by a member. They are carefully considered after screening for artistic integrity and exhibition experience to see if they will be invited into the group.
The 20 current members, representing an eclectic mix of styles and media, are: Judy Axe, Joan Davies, Alice DeCaprio, Julee Docking, Peppi Elona, Madelaine Ginsberg, Martha Hartman, Ruth Hook-Colby, Susan Klein, Susan Morris McGee, Eleanor Merritt, Jini Mount, Keiko Romerstein, Virginia Salerni, Diane Schmidt, Judy Lyons Schneider, Sally Sloan, Julie Trigg and Trudy Whitney.
Seven women artists participated in that first show held at the gallery of Martha and William Hartman. Those original members selected the name "Petticoat Painters," thinking it would be a one-time show of their work. They will celebrate their 56th anniversary at the Selby Gallery in 2009.
[About Julee Docking]
A longtime resident of Sarasota, FL, Julee Docking studied at the Corcoran Art School in Washington, DC. She is listed in A History of Visual Art in Sarasota and has won numerous awards throughout her long career. Her exhibitions include Kennedy Center, Washington, DC; High Museum, Atlanta, GA; Museum of Contemporary Art, Jacksonville, FL; and Edison College, Gallery of Fine Art, Ft. Myers, FL.

A Storm of Swords (A Song of Ice and Fire #3)by George R. R. Martin
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Here is the third volume in George R. R. Martin's magnificent cycle of novels that includes A Game of Thrones and A Clash of Kings. As a whole, this series comprises a genuine masterpiece of modern fantasy, bringing together the best the genre has to offer. Magic, mystery, intrigue, romance, and adventure fill these pages and transport us to a world unlike any we have ever experienced. Already hailed as a classic, George R. R. Martin's stunning series is destined to stand as one of the great achievements of imaginative fiction.
Of the five contenders for power, one is dead, another in disfavor, and still the wars rage as violently as ever, as alliances are made and broken. Joffrey, of House Lannister, sits on the Iron Throne, the uneasy ruler of the land of the Seven Kingdoms. His most bitter rival, Lord Stannis, stands defeated and disgraced, the victim of the jealous sorceress who holds him in her evil thrall. But young Robb, of House Stark, still rules the North from the fortress of Riverrun. Robb plots against his despised Lannister enemies, even as they hold his sister hostage at King's Landing, the seat of the Iron Throne. Meanwhile, making her way across a blood-drenched continent is the exiled queen, Daenerys, mistress of the only three dragons still left in the world....
But as opposing forces maneuver for the final titanic showdown, an army of barbaric wildlings arrives from the outermost line of civilization. In their vanguard is a horde of mythical Others — a supernatural army of the living dead whose animated corpses are unstoppable. As the future of the land hangs in the balance, no one will rest until the Seven Kingdoms have exploded in a veritable storm of swords...
"[O]ne of the more rewarding examples of gigantism in contemporary fantasy....
"The upside is impressive: a backdrop of real depth; elaborate yet immaculate plotting; believable characters; and controlled, resourceful magic." Kirkus Reviews
"Destined to be one of the greatest fantasy series ever written." Denver Post
"This medieval fantasy series stands as one of the best." Dallas Morning News
"[R]eaders hardy enough to make their way through nearly a thousand pages of rich yet unrelenting prose will find their efforts well rewarded....Martin continues to take epic fantasy to new levels of insight and sophistication..." Faren Miller, Locus
"A riveting continuation of a series whose brilliance continues to dazzle." Patriot News
The third book in the Song of Ice and Fire series makes its debut in trade format and heralds the arrival of new trade paperback editions of Martin's prior books, A Game of Thrones and A Clash of Kings. Martin is virtually unmatched in the complexity of his world building and the richness of his characterizations.
The sequel to the bestselling A Clash of Kings continues the story of the Seven Kingdoms. House Lannister has tightened its grip on the Iron Throne, but Tyrion still chafes under the rule of his scheming sister, his brutal father, and his sadistic nephew. While a continent away, Danaerys Stormborn and her dragons grow in power, while each undertakes a single-minded quest for victory and envelops the world in a storm of swords.
About the Author

For the last ten years, he has been a screenwriter for feature films and television and was the producer of the TV series Beauty and the Beast as well as a story editor for The Twilight Zone.

Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, conjures images of archetypal Asian jungle: Lush forests dripping with moisture, prowled by tigers, and alive with the trumpeting of elephants. Myanmar's wildlife include a mix of species from north Asia, south Asia, and southeast Asia, which find shelter in a wide range of habitats throughout the country. Snow-capped and remote Himalayan Mountains crown the north, and serve as the headwaters for some of Myanmar's major rivers. The rivers flow through wide, central plains and down to mangrove-lined river deltas before emptying into the Bay of Bengal. Along the country's southern tail, the coastal waters abound with coral reefs amidst more than 800 islands of the Mergui archipelago.
In 1993, WCS became the first international conservation organization to initiate a long-term program in Myanmar. We conduct biological surveys, monitor populations of key wildlife species, aid in the establishment of protected areas, and assist protected area staff with landscape management.
A key landscape for WCS is the Northern Forest Complex. These forests contain the remarkable Hukuang Valley—home to tigers, elephants, and other wildlife species, some of which may be new to science. Oxbow lakes and swamps dot the landscape, giving shelter to rare Asian waterbirds. WCS works here with staff of the Hukaung Wildlife Sanctuary and other protected areas on management, research, and biodiversity monitoring.
In the country's Irrawaddy River, WCS is working to protect the freshwater populations of Irrawaddy dolphins. In 2006, with WCS aid, the government of Myanmar established a protected area in a section of the river to support this endangered species. The dolphins play a special role in local culture, particularly for the area's fishermen. In a unique tradition, the dolphins voluntarily herd fish into nets, which can increase the size of fishermen's catch by threefold. The dolphins themselves also benefit by preying on the cornered fish and those that fall out of the nets as the fishermen pull them from the water.
The protected area, which spans a 43-mile length of the river, is helping to boost public awareness of the Irrawaddy dolphin and its unique role in the river's livelihoods.
WCS conservationists also work to protect a number of Myanmar's endangered endemic turtles, including the Burmese roof terrapin—known only to inhabit a river in the north of the country. WCS is safeguarding the turtle's nesting beaches and has helped set up a captive breeding colony using animals confiscated from illegal traders.
As Myanmar transitions to peace after years of internal conflict, WCS President and CEO Cristián Samper, who visited the country earlier this year, writes on the importance of balancing development with natural resource conservation efforts.
The Myanmar government creates a Protected Tiger Area as large as Vermont in the country's northern forests. The Hukaung Valley Tiger Reserve provides sanctuary to a wide range of species, from big cats to small birds, along with many rare plants.
As the world celebrates the Year of the Tiger, WCS assesses tiger habitat and populations across eight priority landscapes in Asia with a color-coded report.
WCS scientists discover the Arakan forest turtle, previously known only by museum and captive specimens, in a dense bamboo forest in Myanmar.
A novel partnership between fishermen of the Ayeyarwady River in Myanmar and an endangered river dolphin guarantees a good catch for the fishermen. By establishing a protected area along a stretch of the river, the government of Myanmar is helping to safeguard this unique cultural tradition.

By RICHARD SHAWStaff reporter
Investigations conducted by Carbon County authorities resulted in the arrests of seven people last week and the confiscation of drug paraphernalia, labs and a small amount of the suspected methamphetamine.
The first bust took place Wednesday at about 10:30 p.m. in Helper. The Dec. 19 incident began when Helper Officer Lynn Archuleta made a traffic stop and noticed suspected drug paraphernalia in the vehicle.
Archuletta followed the vehicle to a residence on Ivy Street and, when officers went to the door, they reportedly saw other drug-related materials obviously in view within the house.
The officers requested permission to search the home, but the residents purportedly denied the police access. At that point, one officer went to get a search warrant while the others watched the house.
After obtaining a warrant, the Helper police along with state corrections personnel and the Carbon County Sheriff's Office searched the house. The authorities reportedly found a meth lab and the paraphernalia that goes with it, a large amount of packing material and scales.
Three individuals were subsequently taken into custody. Arrested were Cathy Stevenson, 45, and Duane Stevenson, 46, of Helper. Also arrested was a parolee from Montana, Robert Perry, age unknown. All three subjects were booked into jail on felony possession of meth and drug paraphernalia charges.
The owner of the house apparently drove up to the residence during the search and, when questioned, was cited for a suspended drivers license.
"I just hope the bad guys see that we are working hard to eliminate these kinds of problems from out community," said Helper Police Chief George Zamantakis. "We are working aggressively to eradicate these kinds of activities. If they think they can come here to do this and be safe from the law they are wrong."
Early Friday morning, the Carbon Drug Metro Task Force and other local law enforcement agencies in the county went to four different locations simultaneously and arrested four suspects on meth-related offenses
Arrested were Kent Colton, Michael Skrull, Cally Talbot and Timothy Fratt, all of Carbon County. The action took place about 2 a.m. on Dec. 21 as the officers executed the search warrants. Three of the residences were in south Price and the other one was in Wellington.
"The investigation into this case began over a year ago when some of the suspects were seen buying precursor materials for manufacturing meth," indicated Sgt. Tom Stefanoff of the sheriff's department and a member of the Carbon Metro Drug Task Force. "By Thursday about 1 p.m., we had obtained enough information to obtain search warrants."
According to Stefanoff, the drug task force had interviewed people and watched the residences long enough that the authorities felt confident about taking action.
From the time the warrants were issued and served, the residences remained under constant surveillance. When the action took place, it was a large operation.
"We simultaneously served four residences which involved 30 officers," explained Stefanoff. "We had members from the task force, Price City Police Department, the county sheriff's office, Helper City Police Department, Utah Highway Patrol, adult probation and parole and the Wellington City Police Department."
The various charges the four suspects were taken into custody on included possession of a clandestine lab, unlawful possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Skrull was also arrested on some outstanding warrants.
The suspected meth lab confiscated by the investigators was reportedly complete, but was boxed up and not running at the time of the warrants being served.
"One of the suspects had a camera surveillance set up and the monitor was located in the room where he was when we served the warrant," pointed out Stefanoff. "He knew we were coming."
The operation ended at 5 a.m., when the suspects were booked into the Carbon County Jail.
The suspected meth that was confiscated by the law enforcement authorities was not a significant amount.
"It appeared the last cook they had done had been done the night before," stated Stefanoff.
The scale of the investigation into the suspected meth operation and the culmination of the incident last Friday represented landmark case for law enforcement in Carbon County.
"These guys did a lot of work to put this thing together," commented Price Police Chief Aleck Shilaos, referring to the members of the drug task force. "They deserve a lot of credit and a congratulations from the community on this type of work."

Both cooling towers are operating again
Byron, Illinois – Operators at Exelon Nuclear's Byron Generating Station returned Unit 2 to the electrical grid Saturday, ending a scheduled refueling and maintenance outage that began April 19.
"The safe completion of work by our Exelon employees and contract crews will ensure the continued safe, reliable production of environmentally-friendly electricity," said site vice president Dan Enright. "This was a complex outage and I appreciate the many people who worked diligently to return this unit to service."
In addition to refueling the reactor, workers performed extensive inspections, testing and maintenance on a wide range of components and equipment on Unit 2.
"I also thank the local communities for their patience as the number of outage workers increased," said Enright. "While we recognize the positive economic impact this temporary workforce brings to the local area, we know that it can disrupt the normal flow of traffic at restaurants, convenience stores and gas stations."
Byron Unit 1 operated at 100% power during the Unit 2 outage.
Byron Generating Station is in Ogle County, Illinois, about 25 miles southwest of Rockford.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with approximately $17 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 486,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

1. "I get a cake for every bash I host: The sugar gives everyone a second wind, jump-starting the rest of the night."
2. "Mood lighting is a key ingredient in every affair, so string up your Christmas lights to everything that's not moving!"
3. "Fill a punch bowl with a jug of inexpensive red wine, toss in a small jar of maraschino cherries including the juice, and add a half dozen each of lime, lemon, and orange wedges. Steep the mixture in the fridge for eight hours for an easy, festive punch to serve."
4. "It is absolutely worth it to plan your party music ahead of time. Start things out mellow, but make sure the songs get a little bit faster and more fun through the night. Burn the songs onto a CD — and don't be surprised if your guests want a copy at the end of the night!"
5. "I was pleasantly surprised to walk into a soiree where only desserts were served. The best part: a banana-split bar including ice cream, hot fudge, and lots of homemade whipped cream."
6. "I rent a karaoke machine — you can find one online or in the yellow pages under 'audiovisual.' My husband and I are always prepared to go 'onstage' (which is just a cleared-out area in the corner of our den) first for a duet in case everyone else is too shy."
7. "I hire a real bartender and set up a bar with the ingredients for two unusual drink options (say, sidecars for old-fashioned glamour and blood-orange martinis for a trendy feel)."
8. "My best theme party was called The Prom From Hell. I had the girls dress up in the worst bridesmaid gowns they've ever worn, and then we danced to the cheesiest music — Peter Cetera, Richard Marx, and Phil Collins."
9. "Go retro when it comes to hors d'oeuvres: Serve the things your mother used to put out when she had parties back in the day, like sour-cream-and-onion-soup dip and baked pineapple chunks wrapped in bacon."
10. "I placed a bowl of temporary tattoos (tattoofun.com) for our guests to put on next to a mirror. It turned out to be the highlight of the night."
11. "Order pizzas a half hour before your company arrives and cut the pies into smaller, bite-size pieces."
12. "Get guests to stay longer: Hire an on-site babysitter (or maybe two, depending on the number of kids) and let people know it's OK to bring the little ones along for the night — and tip the sitter for a job well done!"
13. "Play hit songs decade by decade: Start with the sixties and work up to now."
14. "Huddling over bubbling cheese or chocolate fondue and digging for lost pieces of food really gets people to let loose."
15. "A deck of cards called Party Games: 40 Fun-filled Games to Get the Party in Full Swing ($13, amazon.com) is a great time. Each card explains a game (try Murder in the Dark for an old-fashioned whodunit) that can easily be set up with everyday items."
16. "Once, I hired a dance instructor to give my guests a one-hour group lesson. Everyone had an outrageous time learning dances like the Macarena and the Electric Slide. (I even bargained down the instructor's price by pointing out that he'd probably find some new clients at my bash.)"
17. "Why not throw an updated kegger? Check with your local liquor stores to find out what sorts of imported brands are available in keg size, or order from a little-known local brewery, which can be just as exotic."
18. "Announce that you'll be giving prizes to those who can name everybody in the room. It's an incentive to get everyone trying hard to meet everybody else."
19. "I asked everyone to come as either James Bond or a James Bond babe. I played the album 007 Classics and ran a few 007 movies on the TV — with the volume off — as a background effect."
20. "I ensure an interesting crowd by asking everyone to invite along one person they don't know very well (perhaps a friend from their health club or a new person from work)."

We find that the Formula 34 PC comes nicely equipped with features usually reserved for larger boats.
Capt. Steve Says...
Try as I might, I'm never able to find much to be disappointed about in a Formula. So don't be too critical of me for not being critical -- believe me, I try hard to find things I don't like on this boat or that I would change.
Welcome Aboard
You step aboard the 34 PC from the swim platform that measures 9'10" (2.99 m) across, by 2'6.5" (0.77 m). In the middle is the concealed re-boarding ladder and here's where the Formula difference begins. It's a four-step ladder (not three steps as most boats have), held on by massive stainless steel hardware, the lid is supported by two gas-assist struts (not one or none) and the recessed well that the ladder resides in is self draining (a small detail that shows Formula is constantly thinking).
The transom door that leads into the cockpit is fitted with a micro-switch that prevents the engine hatch from opening when the door is closed. The push of a button lifts the electrically actuated engine hatch; once it's raised, you really appreciate the roominess of the engine compartment.
Everything is done right here, and I mean everything. All electrical connections are sealed for a harsh saltwater environment, sea strainers are massive, all hoses double clamped. I even tried to shove the batteries with my foot and got nowhere. If you look at the aft quarters of this compartment, you can see extra bracing at the hull-to-deck joint, right where an errant captain may tag a piling in approach. Hey, even with joysticks it can happen.
Notice the optional hardtop with dual hatches. Ten custom-made cleats surround the boat and make tie-ups a breeze.
Back up in the cockpit, all stowage areas are accessed by articulated stainless steel piano hinges for no-hands access. Nice touch. In those places where hinges can be seen, such as on doors or countertop hatches, the hinges are powder coated white.
The helm features dual flip-up bolsters, and I usually have trouble actually flipping up the bolsters on Formulas, but these worked flawlessly and easily. The layout was textbook Formula with a Garmin Chartplotter front and center and the MerCruiser Vessel View off to port. Engine controls were mounted on the 45-degree angle (which I usually don't like because it is not an ergonomic angle) but it wasn't so bad on this boat because these were digital throttles and worked effortlessly. Just ahead of the engine controls were the trim tab rockers. Just ahead of the tab controls was the Axius Joystick. These were all lined up in a row as they should be so there is no fumbling.
Note the careful and expert placement of everything at the helm.
Below Decks
Down below, Ultraleather is everywhere and oh-so nice to touch. The aft (or mid) cabin was well laid out and just a step down from the main salon. This makes for a great conversation pit, and because it's wide open to the salon, it really keeps everyone in the thick of the gathering when there's a crowd below. And of course there are filler cushions for converting to a berth. I found 4'9" (1.45 m) of head room, but the sole goes forward to the salon enough, before stepping up, that you're never in danger of hitting your head.
Note the pull-down blinds behind the settee. These do a much more effective job than the curtains we see in other boats. The electrical panel is in the locker to the aft end of the settee.
The Main Salon
In the salon, between the dual overhead hatches, large portlights, and cabin door, plenty of natural light is allowed to enter. The 34 PC comes standard with an 18,000BTU air conditioner that worked marvels on our sweltering test day, but evenings tend to cool down to more tolerable levels and then the addition of a sliding screen in the companionway would be a plus.
The settee is C-shaped, also Ultraleather, and converts to a berth. It faces the galley that is nicely appointed with a dual voltage 4.6-cu-ft stainless freezer/fridge, and a two burner stove recessed into the counter to keep pots from sliding; the cover has a micro-switch that shuts it off when closed.
The upper cabinets are 13" deep so they will hold dinner plates. (You'd be surprised how many boat cabinets look nice until you try to actually use them!) This galley also has a feature that we see on all Formula cruisers now... a coffee maker garage. There is an outlet inside and the compartment holds the standard Krups coffeemaker.
What I thought was going to be a wastebasket in the counter turned out to be wine storage for four bottles. It was not refrigerated so this will be for your reds, and use them before the corks dry out since they are standing up. (I think I will use this compartment for trash after all.)
Note the convenient grab rail for traversing the salon. The door to the left is access to the head.
The head is large enough to include a separate shower stall. I loved the contemporary faucet and Corian countertop. There is a portlight in the head that I'd like to see moved into the shower. The shower door is usually open so ventilating odors will still be effective and you'll have the added bonus of allowing shower steam to be vented as well.
Forward Berth
Up forward is an island berth that measures 6'4" by 5'9" (2 m x 1.5 m) and features a memory foam mattress and roomy storage below. The overhead hatch is screened and shaded to allow you to sleep in. The hatch also provides an emergency egress route. The two lockers to either side of the berth have shelves and internal lights on a micro-switch.
Under the forward berth are two large drawers. Additional storage is in the center of the deck. Notice how all the cabinet doors join in perfectly straight lines. Any obsessive-compulsive type will love Formula.
Handling and Performance
We tested the 34 PC on a (as usual) hot and humid day. She was powered by a pair of 375-hp MerCruiser 496 Mags with Axius. We reached a top speed of 46.3 MPH at 4880 rpm. This gave us a fuel burn of 63.6 gph or .73 mpg.
Dialing it back to a more economical 3500 rpm turned in a 30.5 MPH speed. That generated a 28.8 gph fuel burn meaning 1.06 mpg and a range of 196 miles with the 206 gallon tank topped off and holding back a 10% reserve. Time to plane was 6.2 seconds and time to 30 MPH was 9.6 seconds.
Handling was just like you'd expect from a Formula. She took to the maneuvers just like… well, a performance cruiser. Her deep V hull and 18-degree deadrise, coupled with her fairly light 16,510 lb. dry weight with hardtop kept her nimble and quick to respond to the helm. I did find the 34 PC to be sensitive to weight distribution (because of her V bottom) but nothing a tap or two on the trim tabs couldn't correct with ease. That's what they are for.
This is a sterndrive-powered boat so a couple of shots of up trim had us running nicely and at a good clip. Hard turns at speed showed no ventilation and the boat rolled into the turns comfortably so nothing got thrown to the outside of the turns. Jumping wakes showed no spray coming over the bow and we tended to go through the waves rather than over them. All in all, it was a nice experience handling this boat.
Of course with Axius, docking is a non-issue. If you are moving up from a sportboat and have any reservations about whether you can handle this boat or not, rest assured… you can, and so can your wife and kids. One thing though, the Axius system starts off in whatever mode you have the engine controls in. Therefore, a word to the wise, hit the "docking mode" button and then you can have a much more sedate and gentle approach to your docking.
Also, don't be heavy handed. Just use pulses of joystick controls as you approach and let the boat's momentum take effect. What you don't want to do is crank on the stick like you're playing a video game. You have to consider that each time you hit the stick, you're engaging mechanical gears. You wouldn't throw the engine controls back and forth, and you shouldn't do it here with the joystick either. Slow and steady works every time.
This is a comfortable and great handling yacht that has a lot to offer. Not only does Formula add a lot of features that are typically reserved for larger yachts, but they stand behind their product with a 10-year hull and deck warranty. As I said in the beginning, what's not to like?

Kaptivating Kidz: They have spirit, yes they do, how 'bout you?
Upon entry to Emerald All-Star Cheerleading in Springfield is like walking into the old Boston Garden. Flags and trophies from the floor to the rafters.
Hopefully they have some room for more as the special needs spirit squad had a banner year.
"We've had out 'bickerments'. We've had our fights. We've had our tears. We've had our injuries," says Holly Jalof.
After competiting at the Pac West Spirit Championships in Portland, big green got the good word.
Devona Onami was like most of the kids. "I thought it was amazing. Everybody was crying and happy and made everybody smile."
Grins from ear to ear as the team was picked to represent the entire Northwest at the World Championships in Orlando, Florida.
Alicia Agee has some sound advice, "When you go there, pack a lot of shorts and tank tops."
Hot and humid, but the Emerald All-Stars were all winners. In fact, World Champions.
"Oh, it was awesome. I won trophies and the medals. It was great," Buck Benz says.
As for the idea of stage fright? Forget about it.
Agee desribes it as her being in her bedroom alone "having a rocking time."
Even in the offseason, the family-like unit will always be together. Just ask Maddie Akin.
"No matter where I go, my cheer team will always being in my heart. Forever and ever."

yeah, and at taxpayer's expense. What a waste!
I've lived in Alaska my whole life, and yes, this seems like a waste of money. Although this does not sounds true. We have a very strong economy unlike the lower 48 from our oil as well.
Yeah, this is definently fake....

NFL teams after Masoli?
8:39 AM ET Seattle Seahawks Top Email
Len Pasquarelli writes on ESPN.com that NFL teams are keeping tabs on Jeremiah Masoli, the former University of Oregon quarterback who was kicked off the team this spring following burglary and drug possession charges. Masoli is reportedly considering entering next month's supplemental draft.
Pasquarelli writes: "It's not certain that Masoli, a very good college quarterback, has the kind of height or arm strength that translates well to the NFL. But there are a few teams that would like to have him in camp, even as an undrafted free agent, and who feel he could be a No. 3 developmental prospect."
There is also a report that Utah State might be interested in bringing Masoli on board for the 2011 season, after the QB sits out his transfer year. That might be the better move in that he'll have the opportunity to rehab his image there, but if chooses not to wait two more seasons and instead opts for the supplemental draft, some teams may be intrigued by his potential, particularly his ability to play Wildcat QB (especially if they see clips like this of him bowling over defenders). Just speculating here, but perhaps Pete Carroll, after watching Masoli carve up his USC team on Halloween last season, will be intrigued enough to give him a look on the Seattle Seahawks.

Not a chance.... especially after booting a former player (Lendale White) off the team cause he could not lay off the herb...
besides, Masoli seems the "counter" Carroll type QB. Look at Carroll's history at QB... seems to like the big, strong, pocket passing type QB.

The wildcat fad is just that... a fad... It is NOT effective. Only reason it was is because it had not been seen lately when the dolphins started running it. Defenses started preparing for it and if you look at the stats, plays from a wildcat formation has a DREADFUL yards per play average.
Does not fit at all with Carroll and Bates' offensive philosophies.
That aside, I have never been impressed with Masoli as an NFL prospect. At most he could find a niche as a situational wildcat type guy but never a starting under center QB.

I don't have a problem with the wildcat offense.
Even like it... if we use it one time per 1000 plays or so...

Wednesday, January 06, 2010Steve Fletcher graduated from Lipscomb in 1977 after a brilliant career both as a hitter and pitcher. In 1977, Steve led the Lipscomb baseball team as the Bisons captured the 21st annual NAIA National Championship in St. Joseph, Missouri. The title was Lipscomb's first-ever National Championship.
After hitting an amazing .500 and pitching in three different tournament games, including earning the save in the championship game, Steve was named the tournaments Most Valuable Player. During Steve's career the Bisons averaged an amazing 45 wins a season.
Fondest athletic memory? Being a part of Lipscomb's (and Nashville's) first ever National Championship Team. In 1977 we won the 21st annual NAIA World Series in St Joseph, MO. One of Coach Dugan's goals when he took over the program in 1960 was to win a national championship.
Who had the biggest influence on you during your athletic career at Lipscomb? Without question Coach Ken Dugan. I remember like it was yesterday (albeit some 36 years ago) the specific order of priorities he made very clear for us: 1) our relationship with God; 2) our family; 3) our education; 4) baseball. He had very high standards and expectations for us, both on and off the field.
What is your fondest non-athletic memory from your time at Lipscomb? The great relationships established and enjoyed with fellow students and faculty members. Their support of our team was unbelievable, but there were many good experiences that had nothing to do with baseball.
What is the most valuable thing you gained or learned from your time at Lipscomb? The fact that so much more can be accomplished when you "buy in" to being a part of a team (versus trying to get things done individually) That collective effort is powerful; the encouragement, the competitiveness, the support, the constructive criticism, the accountability. It has served me well in the business world.
Who was your favorite professor? Why? That's a tough question when you consider the Lipscomb community and all the influential staff I was blessed to learn from in those years. If I have to pick one I'll go with Dr. Ralph Nance. He always had that big warm smile. He rarely missed a bison baseball game. I vividly remember what he said to me many times; "We're so glad you are here" He was very special to me.
Where do you live now? Employer? Job? I live in Brentwood. I am a Corporate Account Executive with Con-Way Freight. I represent the company with major accounts in AL & TN.
Family? My wife Denise & I have been married 30 years. My son Clint (26) and daughter Whitney (22) live here in town and daughter Leah is a freshman at Western Kentucky University
I consider myself a "Bison for Life" It is an exciting time for Lipscomb Athletics. I encourage everyone to come be a part of it !

Watertown City Council candidate Stephen A. Jennings has been endorsed by a former opponent.
Rodney J. LaFave, who ran an unsuccessful primary campaign, announced Tuesday that he is supporting Mr. Jennings in the Nov. 5 election.
Mr. LaFave pointed to Mr. Jenningss more than 18 years of professional government experience and active service in the community.
Steve demonstrates the class, professionalism and integrity the residents of Watertown deserve in a council member. Additionally, he possesses the knowledge, experience and motivation required to improve and sustain the capacities of our economy, neighborhoods and all people, Mr. LaFave wrote in a press release.
He also said he likes Mr. Jenningss proposals to improve blighted neighborhoods. Mr. Jennings has come out in support of Mr. LaFaves proposal for a city rental inspection program.
Mr. Jennings faces incumbents Teresa R. Macaluso and Jeffrey M. Smith and newcomer Cody J. Horbacz in the race for two seats on the council.

With a number of graves in the Valley View Cemetery left with only a small grave marker, or for others nothing at all, the Sunnyside City Council discussed the possibility of a new regulation for markers.
In the cemetery there are little metal markers for some graves which have a small label on them notifying who the grave belongs to. The city council was looking at a possible regulation asking people to put some sort of marker on a grave, even if it is small.
City Recorder Polly Sanderson gave an example of a marker on a grave that was about 1 foot by 8 inches costing about $200. Councilman Tony Riffle questioned whether a majority of people in the city could afford that much for a grave marker.
"$200 is a lot of money for some people here," Riffle said.
One question that was posed during the discussion by Councilwoman Nola Porter asked how the ordinance could be enforced. With the number of graves left with a little marker and some with nothing, the council agreed that it is a difficult situation keeping track of where everyone in the cemetery is located.
There is a database for the cemetery, but it is not up to date, Sanderson said. Many markers in the cemetery have not yet been entered into the computer yet, she said.
Council members Porter and Riffle said that the records for the cemetery should be updated constantly and Riffle added that when looking at a map layout of the cemetery it should be known who is buried and where the grave is located. Sanderson said that nothing was done until 1993 to put anything on paper or in the computers.
There are some places in the cemetery that don't have markers on them at all and another issue is what type of marker would be suggested for families to purchase. Because the city maintenance crew wants to clean, mow the grass and maintain the cemetery, a suggestion is for the type of marker to be flat so it doesn't create a problem. Parts of the cemetery are in question, so much so that there is no digging done in those areas because there is no idea whether or not anything, or anyone, is there already.
The council discussed having a new section of the cemetery be full with flatstone markers only.
Councilman Kelly Maynes suggested that the city council look into other cities who take care of cemeteries and see what their ordinances are before moving forward with one for Sunnyside.
The city council also discussed the Community Impact Board priority list for 2011 with short, medium and long term items.
The complete list that Sunnyside will turn in needs to be finished and sent in by Nov. 1, so that projects for each county can be prioritized at the Association of Local Government meetings. The AOG meeting would then take place in the first week of November with the priority list going on the commission agenda shortly after that.
Currently Sunnyside has nothing on their priority list. The sewer outfall line project is one that will be added, although it may be labeled as a emergency project.
Some of the projects discussed by the council included the sewer outfall line, fixing up the tennis courts, new ambulance and fire truck, purchasing land for the cemetery, a possible water spray park for children and more.
With a month left before the deadline, Councilwoman Shari Madrid suggested that the council give the priority list some thought and come up with a set list for the next city council meeting on Oct. 19.

Wound Honey
Top-Quality, All-Natural Manuka Honey Promotes Healing
Wound Honey 1 1
Natural way to heal stubborn wounds I had heard about Manuka honey's healing capabilities and was interested in this product to take with me on a two week trip. My feet have become extremely dry and cracked, due to a discontinuation of a prescriped ointment I have used for years. Although my condition has improved immensely under the care of an excellent podiatrist, it is a recurring problem. The dryness has caused a number of open cuts on the sole of my foot and being a diabetic, it is imperative for these wounds to heal quickly and stave off infection. As the salve my Dr. prescribed for me needs to be refrigerated, I was interested in finding another product with which I could travel. I am happy to say that in a week's trial run before my trip, the cuts healed completely. I hope I don't need to use it on my trip, but I am reassured of complete healing should a problem occur. Please retain the Maluka honey in your catalog. Thanks, Vermont Country Store July 17, 2013

NEWPORT CITY – Firefighters closed off a section of the boardwalk and parking lot of Little G's Market on Saturday while they dealt with a gasoline spill that entered Lake Memphremagog.
Firefighters responded to Little G's Market in Rail Road Square around 3 p.m. Fire Chief Jamie LeClair said someone passing by smelled gas and reported the spill to Little G's clerk. However, no vehicles were around at the time and the source of the spill is unknown as is the amount of time the gas had been there.
Firefighters contained the spill. LeClair estimated between 25 and 30 gallons of gas had spilled onto the ground near the cement pad by the store's gas pumps, but he was unsure of how much had actually entered the lake. Upon checking the pumps no leaks were found and the previous sale indicated only 16 gallons of gas had been purchased.
Derby Line Fire Department responded to the scene with booms to contain the gas that had entered the lake. LeClair is confident firefighters were able to clean up all of the gas.
"When we left, there was no sign of any sheen (gas) in the water," said LeClair.
LeClair notified the Hazardous Materials Response Team and the Agency of Natural Resources, but neither responded. LeClair said the Hazardous Materials Response Team felt the firefighters had the situation under control and ANR personnel said they would have preformed the same procedure as LeClair and his team did.
LeClair asks that anyone who saw gas leaking from a vehicle on Saturday to notify the fire department or police department.
"If they had reported it when it first happened, it would have been much easier to contain and clean up," added First Assistant Fire Chief Phil Laramie.
ANR will decide if there will be any investigation or fines.
In all, 18 firefighters between Newport City and Derby Line responded.
Firefighters cleared the scene at 6:30 p.m.

NEWTON FALLS The demise of the Newton Falls Fine Paper mill will hurt the hamlet, where there are long-standing water and sewer line connections.
Sale of the mill as an intact operation fell through March 22 and its owner, Scotia Investments, Halifax, Nova Scotia, is liquidating the plants machinery and equipment. Sale of the plant building and surrounding acreage is through private negotiation.
This news is devastating, I believe, for the water and sewer districts, town of Clifton Supervisor Robert L. Snider said. I dont think the mill is going to be a willing participant.
Newton Falls Fine Paper has paid for more than one-third of the water districts cost in years past. Most houses that are part of the district pay for one unit at a cost of $318 per year. The mill used 50 user units of the districts 150-unit total and its garage used two. Without the mill paying into the system, costs could jump for remaining users.
The paper mill owns and operates a deteriorating wastewater plant that also treats sewage from more than a dozen houses in the hamlet.
A sewer district approved by voters by a close vote in 2010 follows the lines of the water district. A treatment system planned for the district was to reroute the houses served by the mill as well as treat sewage from the plant and other homes in the hamlet.
What was to be a final piece of funding for a $4.3 million system came through last fall with a $723,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development office. In 2008, the project was awarded a $1 million grant from the state Department of Environmental Conservation because of the number of septic system failures in Newton Falls. The remaining funds were to come from $2 million in principal forgiveness and $591,000 in a 30-year interest-free loan from the state Environmental Facilities Corp.
Construction was to begin this summer.
But residents of the district may be unwilling to pay higher user fees if the mill is not a participant, Mr. Snider said.
It might come to a halt, he said.
The owners of the mill also are unlikely to want to continue providing service as in the past, he said.
Theyre certainly not interested in running a sewer system for 15 houses, Mr. Snider said. I dont have a clue whats going to happen. Everythings in limbo. Im waiting for word.
Scotia Vice President Robert G. Patzelt did not return calls for comment.
The status of the houses on the mills sewage system would have to be included in a closure plan submitted to the state Department of Environmental Conservation, agency spokesman Stephen W. Litwhiler said. Mr. Litwhiler could not say what DEC would find acceptable.
Mr. Snider said that he did not know who would be interested in the plants building minus the equipment and adjacent land but that he hoped to avoid an industrial wasteland.
It might be a real difficult sale, he said.
The effect of the closure will be far-reaching, town of Fine Supervisor Mark C. Hall said.
My concern is what its going to do to the hospital, to the school, to the Ranger School, to every small business, he said. Everybodys trying to fill in the blanks and theres too many blanks. I dont have any answers.
The St. Lawrence County Industrial Development Agency remains willing to work with Scotia, depending on what is left after the dust of the auction settles and it is more clear what sales of the assets are finalized.
Weve made overtures to them, IDA Executive Director Patrick J. Kelly said.

Maple Dijon Chicken CrockPot Recipe
Day 335.
I think anything with the word "dijon" in the title instantly sounds exquisite and marvelous---even though it's only a $2.99 condiment. Dijon is the show-off in the mustard family.
Carissa sent me this recipe on my birthday, and I printed it out right away. I was pleasantly surprised to have everything in the house already (well, minus the bay leaves).
The Ingredients.
--1 lb chicken pieces (I used frozen breast tenderloins)
--1 cup chicken broth
--2 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
--1 onion, chopped
--2 T dijon mustard
--3 T maple syrup
--3 cloves garlic, chopped
--2 bay leaves
--1 tsp thyme
The Directions.
I used a 4 quart crockpot---it was a good size. This fed the four of us with a tiny bit left for lunch the next day. If you have a large family or would like leftovers, double the quantity.
Put the chicken into the bottom of your crockpot and toss it with the thyme, maple syrup, and dijon mustard.
Peel and slice the sweet potato, and add to the pot. Add the onion and garlic. If you don't want your onion to have a crunch, put it at the bottom of the crockpot; otherwise on top of the chicken is fine.
Pour in the chicken broth. Add the bay leaves.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-5. This is done when the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables reach desired tenderness.
The Verdict.
Very good, and quite moist. The picture up above is a bit misleading----I had enough juice in the pot to ladle over the vegetables and some leftover white rice. The sweet potato fell apart a bit, so some were more mashed than chunky. The kids each ate 2 of the breast tenderloins, and a bit of sweet potato.
Thank you, Carissa --I really liked this chicken a lot-- I enjoyed the flavor and appreciated how easy it was to throw together.

These last two recipes sound just yummy! Stephanie, I just have to tell you how our Thanksgiving went, thanks to the Crockpot recipes you shared. My husband and I got out of Dodge in our motorhome, telling our kids if they felt like abandoned orphans they could always drive up just for the day (we were three hours away) over the holiday weekend. The RV park where we stayed was having a Thanksgiving potluck feast, so our Thursday was taken care of. Our kids decided to drive up on Friday, this would allow them to go to the inlaws for Thanksgiving day and come to have Thanksgiving the next day with us. Cool, huh?
Before we left, we smoked a large pork loin and I baked sourdough bread and cornbread and toasted the breads. I also made two batches of Crockpot broth from bones I had been saving in the freezer for that.
Thursday night, after I was stuffed with turkey, I made the Crockpot cheesecake and put it in the frig to chill overnight. I used Splenda instead of sugar and it was yummy. We served it with canned sugar-free cherry pie filling over the top.
On Friday, when our kids came up to the motorhome, I made the Crock pot stuffing recipes (I combined the cornbread and bread stuffing recipes you shared since I like the combination of the two breads, using the Crockpot broth made earlier, in one Crockpot and in another Crockpot I put in the sliced pork loin with just a bit of reserved broth.
To make a long story short, this was a wonderful meal, all homemade, but made much easier and yummier with the Crockpot recipes you shared. You are the best!

I hopped on here looking for a chicken recipie and realized I had most all of the ingredients for this one (normally I don't have sweet potatoes lying around).
I made a double batch using frozen chicken breasts and had to omit the bay leaves because I didn't know I was out. I chopped the onions finely to add to the sauce instead of eating on their own.
It came out pretty well. I thought too much liquid had come off of the chicken, but the sweet potatoes that were completely submerged were better than the ones with slightly dry parts.
My wife thinks there is a slightly "off" flavor, but I'll have to attribute that to using sugar-free syrup instead of regular maple syrup.
All-in-all a good recipie, especially served with rice.

We had this tonight, and the hubby and I *loved* it. :) I doubled the sauce, but wished I'd tripled it. I always have to leave things in the crock on low at least 8 hours, so my things have to have a lot of liquid. It was enough with double, but I wished I'd tripled it so I'd have had enough to go over rice. Great flavor, and the hubby loved the texture of the sweet potatoes. Thanks for the recipe!

This looks great and I have all the ingredients too. I have been so tired of our current chicken recipes, this will work great. I can't wait to try it. Thanks!
- December 4, 2008 at 3:29 PM
I had to use Yam's instead of Sweet Potatoes and it was very tasty. I hope to try it w/ the Sweet Potatoes (my store was out of stock!) I would add more chicken next time or use breasts, the package of tenders I purchased was not enough meat.

Did you put your chicken in this frozen or did it need to be thawed first?
- January 26, 2009 at 6:23 PM

Hi Cspara,
I used frozen breast tenderloins and did not thaw them.

I tried this the other night and we did not like it. I used fresh thyme, but otherwise I followed the recipe. It really seemed to be missing something.

Just tried this over the weekend and we really enjoyed it... I think its a good one to add to the rotation. I doubled the recipe and used a bigger crockpot, doing low for 8 hours. Probably could've stopped at 7 hours but we were out & about.
- July 20, 2009 at 1:10 PM
- StrawberryParfait said...
Just made this last night...awesome :)
I did modify based on what I had on hand:
Instead of bay leaves/thyme I used 1/2T of Mrs. Dash Caribbean Citrus and 1/2T fresh grated ginger.
Instead of chicken I used pork.
I doubled the amount of broth/dijon mustard liquid base....mostly because my two sweet potatoes happened to be huge lol. Doubling it more then covered everything well.
Overall, it was my first time with sweet potatoes in something other then a sweet potato casserole....and I loved it...very delicious.

Made this yesterday and followed the directions completely - very good. My boyfriend wants me to put it into the rotation - although next time, I think I'll make it a little less sweet.

- Liz Talago said...
Made this the other day because I actually had all of the ingredients lying around. I love the flavor combo of dijon and maple! However I'm wondering if someone could clarify something for me. Several crockpot recipes I've tried (this one included) seem to start off with a bold flavor (hello dijon!) but by the time they are done cooking the flavor is pleasant but very mild. Are there some ingredients/spices that should be left out until the last hour or so? I had this problem last week with some chicken I cooked in a cilantro/lime salsa. Thanks!

Made this yesterday, Steph, because I needed to use some bone-in chicken breasts. I just took a taste, but it was wonderful. Will have it for dinner tonight. I was afraid the thyme would be too strong frome the smell, but the flavors blended beautifully. I may actually take the sweet potatoes and broth combination (at least in part) to turn into some soup for me as hubby is not a sweet potato fan.

I love this blog! I am becoming obsessed with my crockpot recently and this is a great resource!
I'd like to try this recipe. My husband does not like sweet potatoes. Do you think carrots would work instead?

Hi marcie,
I think carrots would work beautifully.

I made it with carrots and reduced the maple syrup by 1 T since my husband doesn't like "sweet" dinners or sweet potatoes. It turned out great and he raved abou it! Thanks for the yummy recipes!

Staphanie!!! I feel like I have found a new best friend :) Where have you (and your recipes!) been all my life?? ;) I just put this together in the crockpot. Smells yum! I have a similar recipe that is roasted in a pan, and it is a huuuuge hit around here,so I know my family will loooove this. I have two more of your recipes bookmarked to use THIS. WEEK.
I used more sweet potatoes than called for and subbed apple cider for the broth (Im out).
THANKYOU for all you have done here!!!!!!

perhaps a silly question but did your thaw your frozen chicken breasts prior to putting them in the crockpot?

If nothing else, this dish reaffirmed for me that i do not like sweet potatoes. Even with marshmallows on top. My husband hates them, so i also included some giant carrots i found at our local farmer's market, and they turned out very well. The chicken itself was ok. Not phenomenal. I made the sauce the night before so i could throw it all together on my lunch break. When i asked my husband to smell it, he kind of reeled back and said ''what is it?'. Not typical for most guys (who will smell anything if you make it a challenge). I doubled the syrup cuz i just couldn't discern it over the thyme and dijon. Still couldn't really taste it in the final product. My 3yr old threw a tantrum at the table and went to bed sans dinner. My husband's final verdict was 'you've made better'. Bummer.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that I ruined this by putting it away in the crock pot once it was finished cooking and leaving the bay leaves in there :( I will try again one day!
Stephanie, I love your blog! I'm excited for your new cookbook!

Made this tonight for dinner. I doubled the sauce ingredients, except for the broth and garlic, and increased the chicken by a pound. There was plenty of juice, and I thickened that up with corn starch. I also substituted acorn squash for the sweet potatoes. It was good, but, there was something a little off in the taste. Not sure if it was the bay leaves or the amount of thyme. Everyone ate it, but I don't think I'd make it again. The dijon and maple were lost in the "off" taste.
