Peking Pork Chops
That was weeks ago.
I just heard yesterday that they liked them. Since I handed off so much food, she froze these chops and reheated them for dinner the other day. I love it that these pork chops not only tasted good, they withstood being slow-cooked, frozen, and reheated. And I'm thrilled that I was able to contribute to a freezer-stash, yay!
I tweaked Margo's "Peking Chops," she posted in the comments of the original Pork Post to include 5-spice powder, because I love that stuff. I also upped the garlic. Because that stuff is golden.
The Ingredients.
6 pork chops
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon 5 Spice Powder
1/2 cup gluten free soy sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
4 cloves garlic, chopped
(there is a box of salt pictured, but I didn't use any; the soy sauce was plenty)
The Directions.
gosh it's so cold in this house it's hard to type.
I used a 4 quart crockpot. Put chops into the stoneware. In a small bowl, combine sugar, spices, soy sauce, ketchup, and garlic. Pour evenly over the top of chops. No need to add any other liquid. If you had an onion in the house, it might be a nice addition, but not necessary for flavor.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for about 4. If your chops are frozen they will take longer to cook. The longer you cook the meat, the more tender it will, but it might fall off the bone (which is fine in my mind, but some people really like intact meat).
Serve with rice and veggies; ladle sauce on top.
The Verdict.
Stephanie said her kids (9 and 13) really liked their dinner, and made yummy noises at the table. She also said her husband ate too much. I did sneak a bite and liked the flavor an awful lot--it was tangy with a slight ginger aftertaste. Thank you Margo!

what is in the chinese 5 spice powder? I haven't heard of it before. It also has been several years since I stepped foot in an Asian market either, so I'm just a tard in that regard anyway. It sounds good though. I may make something resembling this very soon.

no worries, it's easy to find. It is either in the "ethnic" aisle at your grocery store, or mixed in with the spices. You can make your own, too.LinkText

That sounds great! What is in the 5 spice blend? I haven't seen that one before and I frequent the spice aisle.
I'd love it if you'd follow my blog! Join my follower's list and make my day!!!
Have a great week!

I'm making this right now, but I used a pork roast instead of chops. You're really turning me onto pork! LOL That sounds funny.
Chinese Five Spice was HARD to find! The only place I could find it was at Whole Foods.
Thanks for another great recipe lady! I can't wait for your book to come out!

Wow...this recipe sounds so simple. I don't have chops in the freezer but I do have boneless pork ribs and think I will try it with those this week.
My son is CrockPotting today and making a Beef Stew...he loves cooking.

I love this combination of flavors for pork. Very nice. I liked the report on the "yummy noises," too ... isn't that the highest compliment? ;-)
- February 15, 2009 at 5:19 PM
Well, I've been craving Peking Duck. And I can't just go buy it, because I went gluten free. I used your peking pork recipe for Peking cornish game hen...and it was sooooo GOOD. It totally satisfied my craving and was way easy. I'll definitely be using the recipe again, maybe even with pork......I did marinate the hens for about an hour though.

This is in my crockpot as we speak. I'm so excited to try it later. I have to admit, I gave the sauce a little taste.. it's heavenly!!! Thank you for sharing so many wonderful recipes!!!

I made this a couple of nights ago and thought the sauce was a bit too rich. And I used 8 pork chops. I think I may have to halve the soy sauce and other spices before I can eat it without being overwhelmed by the flavor.
However, my husband LOVED it. But he never really notices when something is rich or not - he just likes to eat. :)

I liked the flavor and my husband really liked how tender the meat was, but I had only cooked 2 pork chops and I think they were a little too dry. They cooked on low for the full 8 hours.

I just tried these tonight and might I say that they were amazing. I served them with rice and roasted cabbage and potatoes, also from your site. Yum, yum, yum. I love your site so much! Thanks for all the great ideas.

Is the ginger powder or fresh?
- June 23, 2009 at 5:51 PM

Hi Elizabeth,
I used powdered. Fresh would work, if you have it---about 1 inch peeled and grated.
- June 23, 2009 at 6:11 PM
- Megan said...
So it looked like an amazing recipe, but somehow my crockpot totallay fried it. I had it on low for 9 hours, cuz the chops were frozen. is that what did me in?

I've made this twice with a pork roast and it's just as delish! It's another great dish for our dinner rotation and my husband says thank you!

I made this tonight, and my very picky 8 year old claims these are the best pork chops she ever tasted. I didn't have the 5 spice initially but was able to find some in the Ethnic section in Kroger. It was nowhere to be found in the regular spice section. In the Ethnic section is was between the Oriental and the Far East section on the second shelf from the top (kinda near teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, etc.) I used fresh ginger. I might cut back on the soy sauce a little bit and add a tiny bit more of brown sugar next time. But, this one gets high marks from my family!
I still have some chops I got on sale that I plan on mixing up this sauce and pouring in the bag to freeze so we are ready to make this one again at a moment's notice.

I have to say, it's been a while since I tried pork chops in the crock pot, but this site is FAR superior to any crock pot recipes collection I've seen, so I made this. It was pretty terrible. I think chops are just not fatty enough to be slow cooked. But, I WAS able to salvage it by breaking up the meat into a quick stir fry. I made chow mein noodles and tossed them with the pieces of pork and a large spoonful of the sauce, and that was very tasty.
I really, really hate to post something negative on your site as my first comment, cause I love your site. So I'm going to go post on another recipe now...
Keep up the good work! Your stories are so valuable!
- January 20, 2010 at 9:59 PM
Excellent recipe! I used about 8 garlic gloves -cause I can never get enough- and a large shallot. When the meat was done I saute'd fresh carrots, asparagus, celery and leeks in olive oil just until crisp/tender and stirred in some of the meat sauce at the end. I served the whole thing over left over rice. I got High compliments. It was equally as good served to new guests for lunch the following day.
- March 25, 2010 at 9:00 AM
I used 1/4 cup of hoisin sauce instead of ketchup. This recipe is so good-the pork fell apart after 4 hours on high. I also had trouble finding Chinese five spice-it was not with the Chinese food in my Kroger. But McCormick makes a Chinese five spice that was with all the other McCormick spices in the baking aisle. It's called Gourmet Collection Blends and was in in a McCormick-only spice display next to the store brand spices. Success!
- May 16, 2010 at 3:33 PM
Hiya Steph,
Made this one today, using a small pork loin instead of chops. Cut back a bit on the brown sugar because I use so little sugar on a daily basis, i didn't want dinner to be overly sweet. I think next time, I may add a little red pepper to give it a kick, but this got a big thumbs up from 7 yr old dd (who actually finished off the leftovers *sob* ) and our guest.
Thanks again.
- May 16, 2010 at 9:17 PM
Just discovered your website- and yum! Made these yesterday. Didn't have 5-spice powder, so I made my own including fresh tarragon to get the licorice flavor (no start anise in the cupboard). Juicy delicious pork chops, they tasted great the next day for lunch. Really great recipe!!

Just discovered your website recently. Love it! I am the only vegetarian in the family so it has been great to start the meat dish in the morning and work on the veggies and my dinner in the afternoon. A lot less stress for dinner time. I can't wait to try out all your recipes. Made the teriyaki chicken last week and the family LOVED it!!!
- November 3, 2010 at 8:53 AM
trying this one the week after thanksgiving! any way i can get my hubby to eat pork chops is good :)

- Ally said...
Not that this is really time-consuming, but I just made it up and the sauce smelled familiar - it's pretty much Soy Vey (or TJ's Soyaki) plus five spice. That has some vinegar and sesame oil in it too, which couldn't hurt. So if you're SUPER-pressed for time and not gluten-free, dump Soyaki on your chops, hit the "low" button and go.

made this the other day was so GOOD!! I did less the amount of Ginger and up the 5 spice.
Next time tho i will be adding Chinese stir fry veggies to the cooker .

This recipe is a definite keeper! Made it today and my husband and I both thought it was delicious. It took me a few different grocery stops to find the Chinese five spice and it was worth it!

You can find Chinese 5 spice powder on Penzey's website, which is an amazing spice store. Wonder what veggies I can throw in the crock with these chops?

- Penny said...
I want to make this using a 4-5 lb pork leg roast. Should I double the sauce, or just use as much as the recipe calls for?
Thank you!
- May 8, 2014 at 3:41 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Penny -- I'd go ahead and use the spices and the sauce as written. You may need to increase the ginger and the 5-spice powder to taste after the pork cooks since the roast will give off a lot of liquid.
I think it'll taste wonderful!!

Fierce People
Trapped in his mother's Lower East Side apartment, 16-year-old Finn wants nothing more than to escape New York and spend the summer in South America studying the Iskanani Indians, or "Fierce People," with the anthropologist father he's never met. But Finn's dreams are shattered when he is arrested in a desperate effort to help his drug-dependent mother, Liz, who scrapes by working as a masseuse. Determined to get their lives back on track, Liz moves the two of them into a guesthouse on the vast country estate of her ex-client, the aging aristocratic billionaire, Ogden C. Osbourne. In Osbourne's close world of privilege and power, Finn and Liz encounter a tribe fiercer and more mysterious than anything they might find in the South American jungle: the super rich. While Liz battles her substance abuse and struggles to win back her son's love and trust, Finn falls in love with Osbourne's beautiful granddaughter, Maya, befriends her charismatic older brother, Bryce, and even wins the favor of Osbourne himself. But when a shocking act of violence shatters Finn's ascension within the Osbourne clan, the golden promises of this lush world quickly sour. And, both Finn and Liz, caught in a harrowing struggle for their dignity, discover that membership always comes at a price.

President Obama & Romney fight for Hispanic vote
Reporter: Tammy Vo
Both Presidential campaigns are fighting for the Hispanic vote which could make or break this election.
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - The road to the White House, could very well be paved by Hispanic voters. President Obama has launched Spanish-language ads in key Hispanic states and Mitt Romney was overheard by reporters this week saying "We have to get Hispanic voters to vote for our party" and that Latino support for democrats and President Obama "... spells doom for us."
"I think both are realizing and valuing the Hispanic vote and realizing how important it is to the Presidential outcome" said Lea Márquez Peterson, President of the Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. She adds that there's been a big push to get more Hispanics to vote, and it's working.
Who will Romney choose for a running mate? There's talk that he may choose a Hispanic running mate, including Senator Marco Rubio of Florida. On Thursday, Sen. Rubio talked about Arizona's immigration law, SB 1070.
"I believe states like Arizona have a Constitutional right to do what they did . I do not believe that laws like in Arizona should be a model for the country" said Sen. Rubio.
A group called Project New America released a poll on Thursday, asking Hispanic voters in states with the presence of a home-state Hispanic Republican, who they would vote for: An Obama-Biden ticket or Romney paired with a Hispanic running mate? The results overwhelmingly favored President Obama.
KGUN 9 Reporter Tammy Vo asked Márquez Peterson "What have you heard from Hispanic voters? Which way are they leaning?"
Márquez Peterson responded, "In this community I hear criticism for both. The Obama Administration acting on immigration. I hear concern about the tone and messaging that Mitt Romney has in this campaign. I think the fact that he came out against the Dream Act in this primary race was not a good message to send. Will a Hispanic Vice Presidential nominee make a difference? I think the Hispanic community will notice. Will that change their decision? I don't know. I think it comes down to his positions. What ideas does she or he have?"
It's estimated that President Obama won close to 70-percent of the Hispanic vote in the last election against Senator Mc Cain.
Vice President Biden is in Arizona Thursday night, Mitt Romney will be in Phoenix on Friday and the First Lady will be in Tucson on April 30th.

October 17, 2013 | Natasha Alperowicz in Düsseldorf

OGDENSBURG Never forget Willowbrook.
That was the message conveyed over and over again Friday at United Helpers Mosaic, 100 Ford St. There, a Remembering Willowbrook exhibit opened, courtesy of the state Office for People With Developmental Disabilities.
The exhibit will remain in place this week.
The former Willowbrook Developmental Center on Staten Island closed in 1987. In 1972, it gained national infamy for the horrific living conditions of its residents.
The result was sweeping reforms in the care of the severely disabled, from deinstitutionalization to individualized care.
Weve all experienced a lot of changes, United Helpers CEO Stephen E. Knight said. Willowbrook burned into our minds. We have to make sure that we dont backtrack.
Its important that we remember Willowbrook, said state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, a guest speaker.
Nancy E. Rehse remembers Willowbrook and is working to make sure history does not repeat itself.
Ms. Rehse, a United Helpers board member from Potsdam, in 1995 founded LEAP Living Exploring All Possibilities a little agency devoted to helping the disabled.
Her son, Jason Chorba, is 40 and gorgeous and intellectually disabled, but doing well.
He lives in a lovely house in the country near Potsdam, Ms. Rehse said.
He is happy, healthy, busy and extraordinarily well cared for, she said. My Jason and his friends are counting on us to pay attention and make sure Willowbrook never happens again.
Mosaic offers homes and services for people with developmental disabilities and traumatic brain injuries, providing six intermediate-care facilities, four individualized residential alternatives, day habilitation and service coordination.
In conjunction with the exhibit, Mosaic will showcase its first art show. The show features pieces created by Mosaic residents.

Sienna's belt/bra/holster is slightly out there, as is Kate's maxi piece, but fret not for there are many wearable options around.
The double buckle belt (as seen here on Gemma Ward, above right) is the popularity contest frontrunner so far. It looks great over a loose tunic (make sure the top is at least hip length) or on a dress (like seen on Gucci's Spring runway, above far left). Tyra's obi-style belt is another option. A belt in a contrasting color to your outfit will draw attention to your waist, while something in a similar shade will subtly showcase this area. Your editors have very different body types, but this trend looks surprisingly cute on both of us! Trust us, we promise we wouldn't waste your time...

Renovation Style Guide: November 2013
ELLE DECOR: So how did a ramshackle sheep barn become such a stylish outpost for your country house?
DEBORAH BUCK: The old red barn was great to look at. Seen from the house, it had a lovely, pure outline: a triangle on top of a square, with a little square window near the peak of the roof. It was iconic and such a marker on the landscape. We found ourselves staring at it all the time, especially after we installed the Alexander Liberman sculpture next to it. Finally it became a question of doing something with it or just losing the barn altogether.
ED: How long did the project take?
DB: From planning to finish, about three years. But remember, we weren't there all the time, and we weren't in a rush. It wasn't going to be anyone's primary residence—although my teenage son certainly thought it would be perfect for him. I wanted to think about it, to cogitate and get the details right.
The guesthouse on Deborah Buck's property in upstate New York is made of reclaimed barn wood and has a steel gable roof.
ED: Is there anything left of the original barn?
DB: Not a stick. Our architect, Robert Rhodes, is particularly known for his commitment to the environment and for green building, but the original barn was too far gone. We did use reclaimed local barn wood—it just wasn't our own.
The living area includes a Munder-Skiles sofa covered in an Edelman leather, a 1960s cocktail table, a cowhide from ABC Carpet & Home, and a C. Jeré sculpture. The fireplace and opposite wall are sheathed in lead-coated copper, and the flooring is polished concrete.

Prairie Breeze$9.99**Festival Feature!** The unique flavors of this cheddar exemplify how the creativity and imagination of American cheesemakers can result in unexpected and exceptional cheese. Both sharp and nutty, creamy and crystalline, Prairie Breeze is made by Galen Musser, the son of Milton Creamery's owner. Less than a year after Milton Creamery opened, Galen took over the cheesemaking process at the young age of 16, and just a few years later, his Prairie Breeze took the Best Cheddar award at the American Cheese Society's 2009 competition. Made with fresh milk from neighboring Amish farmers who hand milk their cows, we are glad this Davenport Farmers' Market favorite has moved into the national spotlight. Try pairing Prairie Breeze with a fruit forward Merlot. Learn More

GOUVERNEUR The owner of a downtown building wants to use part of its first floor for an apartment which is at variance with village code because a commercial renter has not been found.
We did try to rent it as office space, said Randy L. Durham, property manager for Northern ARC Properties, owner of 23 E. Main St., formerly the law office of Sanders D. Heller. There was no interest. Were still trying to rent it.
The law office has been vacant for years and recently was sold to Northern ARC.
The company has left the front of the building as an office but is turning the back of the first floor into a three-bedroom apartment.
Having apartments on the first floor of a business district requires a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Its very unusual, Code Enforcement Officer Michael J. McQuade said. I just tell him theres extra steps hes got to do.
Mr. Durham will make his case before the board at 6:30 p.m. Thursday .
The value of maintaining commercial uses only on the first floor on Main Street is to ensure that the primary land use stays commercial, read a memo that St. Lawrence County Planning Board staff sent to Douglas Cota, chairman of the Gouverneur ZBA. If all first floors were converted to residential uses, the area would no longer be commercial in nature but residential.
A decision has importance for Gouverneurs Main Street and would be precedent-setting, county Planning Deputy Director Jason C. Pfotenhauer said.
Mayor Ronald P. McDougall consulted with Mr. McQuade, who had little problem with the first-floor apartment because it would be in the back with a separate entrance, leaving a front office available for commercial purposes.
But the he decision will be up to the ZBA, Mr. McDougall said.
Legal requirements for a use variance include that Northern ARC must show that zoning regulations have caused unnecessary hardship.

Well, they stopped at a DELTA station and got jet fuel. Am I the only one that finds that funny?
Are you sure it wasnt A citgo station...after all the logo of citgo and delta are similar....Hahah!! Trying to be funny here...
I was thinking the same thing.
Had a friend who had a TR6 and added a quart of Jet A every time he filled up.
Did anyone see the Family Guy episode where Peter thought jet fuel in his truck would make it fly?
...is this the same as the Jet-A story or something completely new?
I was fueler in Okc and we used to put Jet-A out of sump tank into our fuel trucks which were diesel engines and didn't hurt them at all-as well as ground equipment that were diesel fueled....But its no good at all for domestic vehicles that run on regular gasoline....I smell law suit in the air....Tee hee hee....
Should work with a diesel, well minus the gas
No danger, just a couple seized engines.
The oil delivery company will buy those folk new cars..
Now, disposing of a tank full of MoGas & Jet-A? that's going to be expensive and messy!
Some airport is going to have a ton of free fuel to use for their training fires.
There should be no damage to engines, cleaning the engine and possibly the replacement of the catalytic converter might be all that's needed.
And Diesels should run on Jet A-1 like charm.
Bet at least one of them did this..
It's tempting me right now, and I should know better. :)
Lets hope that the fuel that was supposed to be delivered was'nt delivered to an airliner.
Shouldn't we be more concerned about where the tanker that was *supposed* to go to the gas station ended up? If it was similarly misrouted by going where the Jet A tanker was supposed to go, gasoline in a jet engine is a far greater concern than Jet A in a car!
Who knows the way they write storys next it will be diesel fuel. Bet there are AC owners who would like to have a tanker to fill up at those stations at auto fuel price.
Hey, No wonder those cars were doing the gangman dance too....
If they were legit, they wouldn't quit!!!
(Duplicate Squawk Submitted)
Jet fuel accidentally pumped into cars.
What happens when a tanker accidentally delivers jet fuel to a gas station for cars?
(Duplicate Squawk Submitted)
Six NJ Gas Stations Get 100LL By Mistake
The New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs confirmed Wednesday that approximately eight tankers of aviation fuel were mistakenly delivered to six gas stations last week in four New Jersey counties. This fuel was sold to motorists last week before the stations were shut down.
Sounds like the problem started at the fuel depot. Someone either but the jet fuel in the wrong storage tank or the depot loading manager opened the wrong valves. It would appear that the tankers are not at fault as the load as directed by the loading supervisor.

Like to know what everyone thinks about TK not allowing pictures in his restaurant. Lots of you just butchered this woman who has the same policy and is not scared to follow through on her policy. Some called for a boycott. Shouldnt Thomas Keller now be put in the same category. Should we now not patronize Per Se. Fat Guy, what do you think? What about others. Lets not be scared of TK now folks. Lets pick on everyone equally.
I think this is the key difference here:
The only time I started photographing and was asked to stop was at Per Se shortly after it re-opened (No, I was not using flash). They did ask in a nice way and I complied without a problem. They did later let me take photos in the kitchen, though.
Much different than a litigious letter.
And part of the reason for the uproar, at least in DC circles, is that this plays right into the reputation Chef Greenwood has and has earned and, for all accounts, takes great pride in.
No difference in my opinion. If fact, one might say this was expected from Chef Greenwood and not from TK so does this make TK a little less California......a little less laid back, perhaps a little more like Chef Greenwood. No telling if a litigious letter would have followed if he had not stopped taking the picutres.
Further, this thread is not really about Chef Greenwood. It has turned into a thread about the rights of the consumer or eater to photograph the food we are purchasing. In that light, I ask the question of whether TK and Per Se have gone to far in asking people not to take pictures their food that notwithstanding quality costs a ton. It is the same thing that Chef Greewood. Why would the reaction be any different from the people on this board?
I disagree. I don't see this so much as a matter of not being able to take pictures in such and such restaurant as it is with the way this matter was handled. I think any restaurant which is a privately owned business that can for whatever reason refused business with you can dictate what it likes IN the restaurant. I personally would not villify any restaurant/chef that did not wish pictures taken. BTW I wonder if the Per Se request was due to disruption of other dining patrons since they did allow pictures in the kitchen. If it were that important to me then I would simply cease to frequent those restaurants. What stands out to me it the cease and desist letter sent to the blogger. I think in doing this the chef went overboard. As far as I see Jason stopped when requested and did NOT post any pictures. So why the letter? IMHO the chef is an ass and I hope they lose business because of this. I don't care how good the food, if I were treated this way there are many other restaurants I could frequent.

GETZVILLE, NY - Two On Your Side has learned that M&T Bank will take over control of the Bank of America Mortgage Services division in Getzville. Approximately 500 jobs are expected to be lost as part of the move.
According to the Buffalo News, an estimated 1,200 people work at the facility located in the Crosspoint business park. It is expected approximately 600 workers will be retained by M&T. An additional 100 workers will be offered local positions within Bank of America.
An employee told 2 On Your Side that staff learned about the move during a meeting on Monday morning.
"It was a tough day but they all took it very well,' said Bank of America Senior Vice President Carrie Ehinger.
The Getzville office helps rework mortgages for customers facing foreclosure, but business has been dropping as the housing market continues to recover. Bank of America decided it will stop operations there at the end of May.
"That's just terrible because we've been seeing such positive uptick with regards to our economy lately," Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said. "To have 500 additional individuals lose their jobs and go on unemployment is not a good thing for this region."
Poloncarz said the county is willing to help retrain any workers who cannot find jobs. Bank of America has promised to help them search.
EHINGER: We're hoping that we see a large number -- that they all find a position one way or the other locally.
REPORTER: Will there be some sort of severance for those who aren't able to find something?
EHINGER: Yes. There is absolutely a severance the bank offers if they're not able to.
The severance that will include extended pay and benefits.
M&T will begin interviewing the workers in the next few weeks to determine which ones it will hire. The Bank of America office in Getzville has been receiving tax breaks from the Amherst IDA for the last 14 years. We're told those incentives will remain in place for M&T Bank.

Voluntary Standards are available on Alliance's Web site: www.EUISSCA.org —
CHICAGO (May 14, 2009) – The Electric Utility Industry Sustainable Supply Chain Alliance (the Alliance) has developed a set of voluntary standards aimed at reducing the environmental impact of a utility's supply chain. The voluntary standards are the result of a collaborative process and reflect input from suppliers, non-Alliance electric utilities, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Edison Electric Institute, and environmental non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The voluntary standards also incorporate guidance from a number of environmental standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative and the Carbon Disclosure Project.
The voluntary standards define best practices to help non-fuel suppliers assess the environmental performance of their company and utilities the environmental performance of their supply chain operations. Members of the Alliance may incorporate the standards on a voluntary basis, consistent with their individual business strategies. The Alliance will conduct an annual survey to track performance and results against these best practices.
"Many utilities and suppliers are looking for ways to reduce their environmental impact but there has not been a clear framework to guide these efforts," said Alliance Chair and Exelon Chief Supply Officer M. Bridget Reidy. "We established these best practices to help companies assess their current performance and set tangible goals for further progress. Utilities now have a way to engage their supply base and track progress towards environmental goals."
The Alliance is using the voluntary standards as the basis for sample questions that Alliance members may include in requests for proposals to suppliers on a voluntary basis. Draft sample questions are posted on the Alliance Web site at www.EUISSCA.org. Interested parties may submit comments on the draft questions to the Alliance via the website by June 5, 2009.
The Alliance is also working to develop voluntary environmental standards for products and services purchased by electric utilities, starting with wood poles, transformers, and wire and cable.
For more information on the environmental standards or general information on the Alliance, visit the Alliance Web site at www.EUISSCA.org.
Founded in 2008, the Electric Utility Industry Sustainable Supply Chain Alliance is a registered 501(c)(6) non-profit organization. Its 15 members are U.S. investor-owned electric utility companies, including: Ameren, American Electric Power, Arizona Public Service, DTE Energy, Duke Energy, Entergy, Exelon, National Grid, Northeast Utilities, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, PPL Corp, Progress Energy, San Diego Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison, and Southern Company. The Alliance's goal is to work with industry suppliers and other interested parties to improve environmental performance and advance sustainable business practices.

Moving a property key or object handle
A layer handle appears on the key editor when you set a value for any property of any object within the layer. Using the layer handles, you can move all of the keys at a given frame for a specific layer to another frame.
For example, if you create multiple objects in frame 5 and then decide to initialize the objects in frame 1, you can drag the layer handle to frame one. All of the property keys set in that frame for all the objects on the layer will also move.
Object manipulation is similar to layer manipulation in the sense that multiple property keys are impacted through a single action. You can use object manipulation to move all of the keys for a particular object from one frame to another.
For example, if you set the end value of several of an object's properties in frame 20, and later decide that you want all of those properties to reach their end values in frame 30, you can drag the object handle from frame 20 to frame 30, and all the property keys for that object in that frame will move with it.

LOWVILLE A Lewis County legislative committee on Thursday got an early look at next years budget picture, including a roughly $330,000 gap.
This is an awesome start, Ways and Means Committee member Philip C. Hathway, R-Harrisville, said during a presentation by County Treasurer Patricia L. OBrien. Im really glad were starting in July.
Its kind of depressing, but nice, fellow committee member Jerry H. King, R-West Leyden, said later in the meeting.
Mrs. OBrien said she had sent a memo to department heads to help determine expected changes in the 2014 budget.
Its just based on people telling me off the cuff what theyre going to need, she said.
Some departments had not gotten information back yet, so there could be additional proposed spending increases that were not factored into those projections, Mrs. OBrien said.
The treasurers listing included a request from the Highway Department for an extra $220,000 to undertake work on bridges and hire extra part-time help to handle duties, like mowing, that the department is having a difficult time completing this year.
Mr. Hathway said that while that may be needed, he would like to see legislative committees review such requests for increases, then make a recommendation to the full board on how much of a hike is necessary.
The county also recently was asked to repay about $203,000 to the state for an overpayment in 2010 of federal salary sharing in the Mental Hygiene Department, Mrs. OBrien said. While the error apparently occurred because a state policy change was never received by county officials, it appears that the funding still will need to be paid back. It is hoped it can be incorporated into the 2014 budget, she said.
Other of the roughly $1 million in projected additional expenses or lost revenues for 2014 include $180,000 to cover the cost of a court-ordered mental health patient, $170,000 more for salaries, $64,000 in payment-in-lieu-of-taxes reductions, $47,947 for Office for the Aging revenue reductions, $38,662 for Medicaid costs and $25,000 in reduced interest earnings.
Mrs. OBrien also included $50,000 to cover the retainer of consultants, which was an unbudgeted expense this year. However, she said, it will be up to lawmakers to determine if such an item would be needed next year.
On the bright side, Mrs. OBrien said she hoped that pension costs would stay relatively stable next year after several years of skyrocketing payments.
And the county is expected to see a $725,000 budgetary reduction stemming from this years transfer of certified home health and hospice programs, offsetting many of the expected increases, she said.
Committee members directed Mrs. OBrien to ask department heads to put forward budget proposals that, aside from salaries, show no hike in spending from 2013.
Legislator Charles R. Fanning, R-Copenhagen, said he would like to put forward a budget with no tax levy hike, but that would require lawmakers to find ways to cut into the budget gap.
When asked about the possibility of projecting higher sales tax revenues, Mrs. OBrien said that while the county is on track to take in well over the $9.5 million budgeted, she prefers to retain a buffer in case that revenue source dips, as was the case during the past quarter in Jefferson County.
While state lawmakers have approved an increase in the local sales tax rate from 3.75 percent to 4 percent, legislators at Thursdays meeting reiterated their desire to earmark that extra $600,000 toward the emergency radio upgrade and possible office building project.
County officials last August began budget deliberations with a projected $2 million gap.

What I am going to play around with and make is a shopping cart app. I was debating using cookies or sessions to store their current items. I know sessions are more secure then cookies, but is there any other immediate advantages to using sessions over cookies? I imagine since they are stored on the server, access to them may be a bit quicker. *shrugs*
Also, is using sessions sound like a good idea for storing the shopping cart info that the user selects? I haven't made a cart app yet, so I was just wondering if sessions is the way to go.

The Lady Dinos were poised to take yet another region title Tuesday night, but were stung instead by the Wasatch Wasps. The Wasps rolled over Carbon in three straight 25-15, 25-8 and 25-20. Wasatch will be the region 10 champs and the Lady Dinos settle for second.
The match started off well for the lady Dinos and the two teams traded points and turn-overs. But it was Wasatch that seemed to get their feet on the ground first and began to run away with the first set. Carbon committed service errors and seemed to struggle with their rhythm and the set quickly got away from them.
In set two Carbon scored the first two points and then the wheels fell off again. They were unable to find any defense to the on slot of kills dished over by the Wasps. Set two was over almost as quick as it had begun.
In set three Coach Bob Potts decided to shake things up and inserted his JV team in to start. The JV team had just finished beating the Wasatch JV squad. They were able to give Carbon some hope and kept the set close. The varsity were rotated in as the set progressed, but eventually Wasatch climbed back ahead and finished off what they had come to do.
'An off night'
A very disappointed team left the court. Varsity player, Sara Potts was comforted by family and friends and then took a minuted to talk about the loss, "we came out tentative. We were nervous and did not play our game. We have some things to work on before the state tournament. We need to work on coming together and supporting each other better to help cover the gaps."
Coach Bob Potts was a bit more succinct, "It was an off night and we'll leave it at that."
The team will have a week to regroup. Next Tuesday night they will take on Grand at home for senior night at 6:30. They will have an 8:00 am game to start the state tournament on Friday October 29 at the UVU McKay Center in Orem. Their first round opponent will be either Emery or North Sanpete.
The bad news for the Lady Dinos is that to go very deep into the tournament they will have to go through teams like Morgan and Snow Canyon.

Bird banding is a method used to study the habits of wild birds.
Much can be discovered of avian life through this practice. Migration routes, longevity, mortality rates and population are just a few things that can be learned through this technique.
The process involves attaching a small ring to a bird's leg that contains detailed information about each individual.
Ross Kenzie is a local Purple Martin enthusiast who has been raising and banding the birds for many years, and has found that in addition to their aesthetic qualities, the Martin's feeding habits provide other benefits too.
"When you have them, they're fun to have around, they're fun to watch and so and so forth," says Kenzie. "But you're also learning because of what they eat, it's very interesting in terms of just not having a lot of bugs around."
Every summer, the Martins flock to Kenzie's land, attracted in part by the unusual gourd shaped nests that are scattered throughout the property. Like everything else, the nests have evolved over the years. Originally, they were made from real gourds, and eventually changed along with technology.
"The gourds became plastic," says Kenzie. "Then they got sort of a screw on top so you can look in them. Now, for example you can buy a camera to put in the gourd, and actually watch the eggs hatch!"
It's pretty obvious that the birds feel comfortable in their new homes...each year they produce hundreds of chicks, which are then banded by licensed bird banders.
"From the time they hatch, you want to band them about two weeks later," says Kenzie. "Because by that time they're starting to get feathers and so on, and by three and a half weeks, some will fly."
Rich Wells is a licensed Master Bander. "It's pretty straightforward, we take them out and put them in a plastic pail. The pails are numbered so we can put them back in the nest we removed them from, band the birds and then put them back in there."
By September all of the birds are moving out of town, stopping first in Pennsylvania before making their epic migration to the south.
"There's an abundant fly hatch there in Presque Isle, and these Martins will fatten up down there," says Wells. "From there they head south, and eventually they wind up in Brazil."
But the Martins will return again in the spring, to once again provide a rich nature experience for everyone who takes part.
Kenzie is very generous in opening his land and sharing that experience. "Anybody who has young kids, I tell them when I'm tell them when I'm going to band, and they come and come and come, and the little kids will hold them in their hands, and get their pictures taken...it's just amazing!"

Telephone calls started arriving in Carbon County homes last week telling credit union customers that debit and/or charge cards had been deactivated.
In the process, the calls asked credit union members for account numbers and access codes.
Most local consumers refused to provide the information or hung up on the callers. But a few residents complied with the request and regret the decision.
"As a financial institution, we would never do business that way, over the phone," said Mary Patton, branch manager at Utah Central Credit Union in Price.
However, the scams telephone calls were not restricted to UCCU members.
"We had members who received calls from what they said were UCCU representatives, too," said Mike Milovich, president of the Eastern Utah Community Credit Union. "They asked for the same thing from them and some of them gave them their card numbers and personel identification number or PIN. Right now, we have about 30 cards that we have watches on because information was divulged."
According to Patton, the scam calls reportedly began Saturday and that's when her branch started hearing from members about the situation.
"We had several people who were taken in by the request," indicated Patton. "We're going to make sure that these people aren't hurt by it. But everyone with credit or debit cards needs to be careful."
Milovich revealed that he personally received a call from the purported scammers.
"They used my cell phone number to contact me," said Milovich. "Whoever is doing this somehow not only got a data base of home phone numbers, but cell phones, too."
One of the first calls Patton received at her place of business was from East Carbon Police Chief Sam Leonard.
The police chief told the branch manager that some people had called him about the situation.
"We've informed the Price police department as well," said Patton.
The current activity is only one in a long line of scams that financial institutions and customers have faced, according to officials.
With the advent of electronic banking, the number of scams have increased because it is easy for the perpetrators to remain faceless and nameless.
"My husband actually got a call from these people when I was at work on Saturday fielding calls from customers telling me about the scam," stated Patton. " He of course didn't give the numbers but he said they were extremely professional.
All financial institutions tell their customers to never give out account or card numbers, access codes, pins or passwords to people who contact them on the phone, no matter who the callers say they are.
"People need to understand that we would never ask for that information over the phone," stressed Milovich. "Why would we need it? We already have it."

Mets play waiting game, looking for 1 or 2 veteran starting pitchers
There are still so many starting pitchers on the free-agent market that the Mets think they sign at least one familiar name, maybe two, before the start of Spring Training, according to the New York Post's Ken Davidoff.
This winter, the Mets have been most linked in rumors to Shaun Marcum, Joe Saunders, Carl Pavano and Chris Young, though Jair Jurrjens, Kyle Lohse, Derek Lowe and Daisuke Matsuzaka, among others, also remain available.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
Jan 4, 10:19 am: The little buzz I've heard from Citi Field is they're looking to replace R.A. Dickey's innings, not necessarily acquire an ace to replace his stature. Dickey pitched 233 innings last season. Young would probably give 150 innings, but only if he's 100 percent healthy, making 30 starts and improving his stamina, all of which are questionable scenarios. So, who makes up those missing 80 innings or so? Worse, who makes up those 100 plus innings if Young (etc.) gets hurt? Zach Wheeler on a pitch count? Probably not. The rest of the rotation? That's doubtful. More likely it will fall on the bullpen, which, let's be honest, we didn't want on the mound all that much last season even when they were pitching well. The thing is, of the pitchers on the free agent, there is no horse, which is probably why a guy like trading for Dodgers starter Aaron Harang must be in the mix, because at least he'd likely get up around 170 innings or so.

Army Cap - Wide Brim Hats
Inspired by military attire, the army cap shape has became popular fashion trend in recent years. With stars like Eminem regularly seen rocking the style, it's no wonder the look has taken off in recent years. The army cap provides a nice break from the traditional baseball cap that is a bit less casual and a little more fashionable. We offer a great selection of army caps from some of the finest headwear brands like Kangol and Bailey of Hollywood.
Wearing a hat with an ample brim is a great way to shield yourself from the sun. You can get the added bonus of looking great while also keeping your head covered when you're playing golf, enjoying the beach, hiking, or gardening.
There are no products matching the selection.

The temple has a huge golden chedi (spire), within which lie some holy Buddha relics that attract devotees from the world over.

For the faint of heart, there's also a funicular cable-car to the top which has just been re-built after several fatal crashes. The fare for the new improved funicular is 20 Baht per person.
The chedi is in a small courtyard at the very peak of the mountain. The courtyard building sits on a larger plaza containing several buildings as well as a lookout point from which you can see, weather permitting, all of Chiang Mai and the surrounding plain.

Google has been hard at work to get rid of the apps that have made it into their marketplace that contain malware for the Android operating system such as unlocked Samsung Galaxy II, Xperia Play from Sony Ericsson. This is the third time a batch of Android malware has been discovered and has essentially been labeled "Plankton." Apparently the app had the ability to access a server for instructions on what the app should do next.
This is a pretty stealthy was for these developers to get their malware into the Android marketplace. With all of the questions that have arisen in recent weeks as a result of all of the malware that has been found in the Android marketplace it is apparent that Google is doing everything in their power to root out the issues.
Unlike previous apps, Plankton did not use holes in the security of the phone to attack the user, but instead called to instructions that were stored on another server to do its dirty work. They also chose to promote the app as an add on to Angry Birds, which is easily one of the most popular games in the history of mobile. It will certainly be interesting to see how these apps are packaged in the future to get an idea of what to avoid. The hackers also packaged the apps as Cheat Apps for Angry Birds, which helped the apps to spread much more quickly. Previous apps utilized trojan horses that infiltrate the phone such as LG Eve GW 620 unlocked, HTC Desire, etc.. and send text messages to numbers, driving up the cost for the user. Google continues to fight the malware attacks but it is clear that people are looking to exploit vulnerabilities in the operating system. It will be interesting to see how Google responds to these threats moving forward and whether or not they will be able to put an end to the uploading of illegal materials.

CANTON Village residents will decide Tuesday whether Mayor David P. Curry keeps his post or relinquishes it to Trustee Mary Ann Ashley for the next two years.
Ms. Ashley, a registered Republican, is running on the Democratic line because Mr. Curry won the GOP endorsement at the Sept. 11 caucus. The following evening, Canton Democrats endorsed Ms. Ashley. If Ms. Ashley becomes mayor, she would appoint her trustee replacement to serve one year on the five-member board.
Mr. Curry, 20 Lincoln St., said village government has been running smoothly during his first term as mayor. The lifelong Canton residents background includes 19 years as a village trustee.
A native of Ogdensburg, Ms. Ashley, 1 East Drive, has resided in Canton for 30 years. A counselor for St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services, she has served three years as a village trustee and has said focusing on people is more important than party politics. During this campaign season, Ms. Ashley said, residents have expressed concern about village taxes and attracting more businesses to Canton.
She said the village should implement the Canton Community Action and Canton Waterfront Revitalization plans.
We need to continue to upgrade our roads, sidewalks and water/sewer systems, she said. We need to market Canton to bring more businesses which will have a positive impact on our tax base.
During his leadership as mayor, Mr. Curry said, the property tax rate has not increased and water and sewer rates have remained fairly stable.
Although the community has outstanding bonds for some capital projects, such as the fire station, the sewer lagoon system and pavilion upgrades, the village is not carrying an excessive amount of debt, the mayor said.
We are well under borrowing limits set by the state, Mr. Curry said. The projects we bonded for were necessary projects that had to be done for the community. We have been fiscally conservative.
Mr. Curry also said he has been responsive to community residents who telephone him with concerns such as downed trees and potholes. As a longtime business owner, he said, hes accessible to the public and handles issues in a timely manner. He owns and operates Daves II, a bar at 37 Main St.
People know if they call me Ill follow through and take care of it, Mr. Curry said. I have a good relationship with department heads and employees.
As mayor, Ms. Ashley said, she would continue to concentrate on debt reduction and avoiding a tax increase.
Her other priorities include development, employee working conditions, contract negotiations and municipal services.
She said she has not decided whom to appoint to replace her on the board, but the choice would be in collaboration with other trustees.

Alex Hayes of the Ogdensburg Maples waited the whole game for Norfolk pitcher Cody Smith to throw him a fastball in Fridays 19U Baseball action at Father Martin Park.
And when he finally got some heat from the crafty Rovers hurler, the Canton Central junior made the most of the situation stroking a two-out walk-off single to give the Maples a 4-3 victory in the bottom of the seventh inning.
That is the way it has gone for us so far this summer. A lot of people stepping up to get key hits or key outs, said Maples Coach Steve LaRose after his team stayed undefeated on the summer season.
Alex Hayes got a big hit for us tonight and having Breton LaRose on the mound at the end of games has been huge. He has pitched in eight games so far.
LaRose struck out four pitching scoreless sixth and seventh innings and picked up the victory on a night when Geoff Baldwin started and Hayes and Jordan Miller preceeded LaRose in relief roles in a combined five-hitter.
We have the two Montreal teams in here on Saturday and Sunday for doubleheaders (noon starts both days) and we have several players going to a weekend basketball camp, said LaRose.
So we will need all of our pitchers so I spotted different people tonight and they all pitched well. And Cody Smith threw a great game for them.
Smith struck out six pitching a complete game for the Rovers and singled in a two-run first inning and lined an RBI single in the top of the sixth.
Trailing 3-1 the Maples rallied for two runs in the sixth on singles by Seth Pinkerton and Bryant Wentworth and a two-run single by Lefty Arsenault.
In the bottom of the seventh Pat Cosmo and Jordan Miller drew one-out walks. Cosmo took third as Baldwin beat a Rovers attempt to turn their second infield double play of the game and Hayes followed with his game-winning single.
Wentworth finished with two singles and scored two runs and Kinnon LaRose delivered an RBI single in the first inning.
Isaiah Dillabough (2 singles), Smith and Brandon Noble (RBI) all singled in the two-run first inning for the Rovers.

Dubbed by Mashable as a sort of Swiss Army Knife for smartphones, a new, multi-use iPhone 5 accessory proves that expanding on your phone's functionality goes way beyond apps. Sometimes you need a physical tool, and the new Kickstarter campaign for the XiStera iPhone 5 accessory promises just that.
This nifty, multi-purpose tool works in tons of ways to let you get more out of your iPhone and to make your daily life just a bit easier. As far as iPhone 5 accessories go, the XiStera's got most of what you could desire.
About the size of a wine bottle opener, it works as a multi-position stand for your iPhone, a lens adapter, a wrap for your headphone cord, a tripod mount, and doubles as a stylus and optional LED lighting system. Oh, and it's also a bottle opener and keychain too.
So essentially, the XiStera offers 8 different functionalities in one, allowing you to position, wrap, adapt, secure, illuminate, attach – and our favorite – celebrate.
When it's idle, this iPhone 5 accessory neatly attaches to the upper corner of your iPhone, with only about a quarter of the bulk of a regular iPhone 5 case. And it looks like it's going to be pretty affordable too.
Meanwhile, XIStera seems to be eyeing the countless possibilities for optional add-on accessories. And they're already at work on compatible iPhone car mounts and bike mounts, as well as a range of lenses and stylus covers in different colors.
One of the coolest iPhone 5 accessories to come out in so many months, it's no surprse that the XiStera has already reached its initial Kickstarter goal of $19,000 in just three days. They're now pushing toward their second fundraising target of $100,000, and something tells us they'll get there.

Tuesday, August 13, 2013
This past Sunday, Lipscomb FCA sent a small group down to Zamarano, Honduras to serve for a week at Jovenes en Camino. Jovenes is a refuge for orphaned and at risk boys that not only provides a means to support and education, but also serves as a platform to share the gospel. There are a total of 60 boys currently living at Jovenes, and three sets of house parents. The team making the trip consists of Ryan Terry and Dustin Wilder from the Bison golf team, Aaron Spragg from the Bison baseball team, and Katie Collier from the Lady Bison track and field team. This group is also joined by the Nashville regional FCA director Shaun Dean.
The four Lipscomb student-athletes have all visited Honduras before on athletics mission trips. This is Shaun's first trip to Honduras. He has a heart that desires to spread the gospel wherever the Lord leads him. For one week these five will be sharing the love of Jesus Christ with the boys of Jovenes in many different ways. One of the main projects that the group will be involved in is painting the houses that the boys live in. Each boy lives in one of three houses (yellow, red, and green) depending on age, and these building are in much need of some fresh paint. Please keep this group in your prayers over the next week as they go out into the world as not only ambassadors for Lipscomb, but more importantly as ambassadors for Christ.
Update from Shaun:
Our team made it to Hoduras in one piece! A little ragged from the journey and very tired from "crack of dawn" arrivals at the airport, we enjoyed a fast landing on the short runway in the capital city, Tegucigalpa. We were greeted warmly with big smiles from our hosts and new friends at Jovenes en Camino (Young Men on the Way), and God began working through us right away... We got to share our lunches with two hungry Hondurans.
The 25 mile trip to Jovenes was beautiful, and brought up mixed emotions. First was thankfulness to God for the wonders of his creation, and next was the sadness that always comes when those used to a privileged lifestyle are staring point blank into extreme poverty. Honduras is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere except for Haiti. But as we pulled into the Jovenes complex, hope broke through the heaviness we felt. Once past the armed guard and security fence, El Zamorano isn't known for its low crime rate, it seemed almost like a different place altogether. We saw flourishing trees and gardens sprouting beans and corn, a well manicured lawn, and brightly painted structures. This was an oasis for young men to learn and grow. The hellos were awkward at first. No one really new what to say but "hola," so Ryan, our teammate and translator, extended greeting for us. A few high fives and some hugs later, we were led on a tour of the complex by Santos, our guide and one of the house Dads. The language barrier was a bit frustrating until we started communicating in a way that all of us understood...sport.
The "Gringos," thats us, put on our best soccer impression for the next three hours before dinner. Those boys wore us out, everyone had a great time and lots of laughs, and thankfully, we didn't keep score. Dinner was a simple, yet delicious array of local fare, and once our stomachs were satisfied we settled into a board game called "Sequence" with the Green House boys. The Green House boys range in age from 14-18, and is the group that tends to have the most issues of the three houses. The boys have lights out at 9, so we left at 8 to reflect on the day, and get some much-needed sleep. We closed the evening with prayer and pondering the question, "What is God preparing me for?"
Day 2 was basically a reply of day one, except we enjoyed a morning devotional discussing God's RELENTLESS pursuit of his children, we ate lunch with our new friends, and we got to learn a lot more about how they spend each day. They rise between 5 and 6 a.m. to begin their workday. Some clean their respective houses, and others head to the farm to work the crops and milk the cows. Their work and chores continue until about 10:30 when they clean up and get ready for the mile or so walk to school. They study all the usual subjects until about 3 p.m., then head back to Jovenes to either resume work in learning a trade (carpentry, maintenance, cooking, etc.), or enjoy various sports, usually soccer, until dinner is served.
Most of our conversations are at the surface level so far, which after hearing about some of their stories from the teachers, I understand. After all, we just met. But they are warming up to us quickly. Tomorrow we are waking early for devo time so we can join the boys at their worksites. We'll get to see how life looks as we walk a mile or two with them in their world. And rest assured, the LORD is working in all of us. I'm excited to see how it plays out.
P.s. - the Gringos scored a few goals on the local boys today...God has to be with us! :)
