Hot Buttered Rum in the CrockPot
Day 361.
Good morning! We are recovering nicely from yesterday's festivities. The kids are still sleeping, Adam's making pancakes, and I'm pretending that it doesn't look like Toys R Us vomited in the living room.
My brother-in-law made/talked-me-into-making Hot Buttered Rum yesterday. I'd never had it before, but when it was brought up, I was happy to have a bookmarked recipe from Karen in Montana. So we went to Safeway on Christmas to buy rum. Which was weird and adventurous all at the same time.
Thank you, Karen! Your buttered rum is amazing.
The Ingredients.
serves 5.
--4 cups warm water
--1 cup dark brown sugar
--1/4 cup butter
--1 pinch salt (even if your butter is salted, go ahead and add it)
--2 sticks cinnamon
--3 whole cloves
--1/4 tsp nutmeg
to add later:
--shot or 2 of rum
--splash of egg nog (Karen likes the pumpkin egg nog, but we couldn't find it)
The Directions.
Use a 2-4 quart crockpot. Add water, brown sugar, butter, salt, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and nutmeg to the crockpot. Cover and cook on high for 1-2 hours, or until the butter has melted and the mixture is quite hot. Ladle into a mug with a shot or 2 of rum, and add a splash of egg nog.
Garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg and cinnamon if you'd like.
The Verdict.
Delicious. My mother-in-law even liked this, and she doesn't drink. The one thing to keep in mind is that if your egg nog is right from the fridge, it will make the butter harden in the mug if you add too much. It might be best to take a bit out of the fridge and let it get to room temperature while the butter and sugar cook in the crock. My sister-in-law is pregnant, and she enjoyed plain egg nog with the butter and brown sugar. The kids were already so hopped up on chocolate I didn't offer them a virgin one to try.

I have been following your blog for a little while and I got a 4qt crockpot for Christmas. I see that you have tags to different types of foods, but you don't have a search function for different sized crocks...is there any way to search quickly through your recipes for that? Though I don't mind perusing them all again...hehe.

Hi Whitney,
that's a fantastic idea. I haven't done that. A 4 quart will work with pretty much all of the main courses and side dishes, unless it makes a huge honking amount, like some of the soups/bean dishes. Taco Soup sticks out in my mind as needing a 6 quart, but you can always shrink down the quanities in those-type dishes.
If you have a question about a specific dish in the mean time, email me, and I'll let you know what I think.

Whitney, you can also search the blog in general at the top of the page, left hand corner. Type the size crock you want to explore and click "search this blog". You'll get responses based on that. It may prove frustrating, but if you're specifically looking for "4 quart" it might help narrow some things down for you.

Only 4 days left!
I'm having CrockPotting withdrawal symptoms already!
Please, please say you'll leave this site up.
How can we talk you into an extension for next year? Maybe a once a week thing, so you won't go mad and it won't cost you as much as this years' experiment has.
Merry belated Christmas!

Only 4 more day?!?!?!? Oh no!
I am going to miss reading you everyday!

Warmest wishes for a joyful holiday season! Thank you for so many yummy recipes and inspiration. Please, please write a crockpot cookbook! Your blog is better than any of the current slow cooker books out there. I love your recipes, comments, and warm humor, as well as your readers' feedback. So helpful and generous. Thank you and Happy New Year!
- December 26, 2008 at 1:40 PM
Hey Stephanie!
The crockpot makers should totally be PAYING you for this blog (are you listening Rival, Hamilton Beach?), because I asked for and got a crockpot another crockpot! 3 Qt this time to go along with my Smart Pot.
I'm still dreaming about the lobster bisque. Did you use frozen lobster tails or fresh? I can't find fresh, but I found plenty of frozen. Maybe I could just use them and increase the cooking time slightly. Or thaw them.
I'm so sad to see the end of your blog year, but I'm a little excited to see what your New Year's resolution is for next year.

Sounds tasty!
I've only recently *say, within the last month* discovered your site and have fallen madly in love.
I found a recipe for pork ribs in the slow-cooker on another site but wanted to ask YOU since you've been head-over-heels in love with your crock-pot....
How does one get burnt-cement-like BBQ sauce off of a crock pot? We've soaked in hot water for nearly 4 days now - with just hot water, water and soap, water and vinegar, water and baking soda, and finally, water and baking soda in the pot while plugged in for two hours on low. Do you have any other suggestions? I am supposed to be making your turkey meatballs for my husband's family get together tomorrow and we have crock-pot less!

It's a bit too hot for something like this in this warm climate,(Australia) but I sure saved it for next winter!!
- December 26, 2008 at 3:19 PM
JUST 5 MORE DAYS!!! Are you in countdown or regret mode? I just want to say that I've thoroughly enjoyed your crockpotting adventures and hope you stay with it just because...
Happy New Year to you and your family and may the New Year bring you wealth, health, happiness, and more crockpotting ideas to trailblaze and share with the rest of us!

Hi Amanda,
do you have a dishwasher? You can put 1/4 cup dishwasher detergent into the crock, and cook it on high with a bunch of water for about six hours, then run through the washer on a normal cycle if there is still residue. If you have a fabric softener sheet lying around, you can throw that in with the 6 hr soak, too.
- December 26, 2008 at 4:50 PM
Oh, my. The year is almost up. Very curious about your 2009 resolutions...and if you plan to continue sharing GF recipes & ideas? Hmmm, 365 things cooked in a toaster oven?
- December 26, 2008 at 5:45 PM
- Poltzie said...
I know your year is almost up but I posed a ham soup recipe on my site. Thought you might want to check it out!
Merry Christmas - I can't wait to see what the New Year's Eve recipe is.
Ps. I also love the toaster oven idea!!

- Troy, Sarah and Lucy Sherman said...
ohh the toaster oven one would be cool! but not for your family size however. have to admit i am seriously addicted and sad to see the year come to an end for you. like one of the other comments above, are you going to keep the site up for everyone who just recently found the blog?
- December 26, 2008 at 9:14 PM
I find it funny that you can buy RUM! at Safeway! Here in WA State, hard liquor is sold only in State run liquor stores. You can get wine and beer at the grocers, but not the hard stuff.
I don't drink much but after the massive snows we have had in the Seattle area (where we don't cope well with snowy weather) I may have to darn well visit a state liquor store soon! Fortunately there is one within walking distance, (and ironically right next door to a Safeway!)

Oh man, I'm dying laughing at your description of Toys R Us vomiting in your living room ... priceless.
Count me in as another vote for at least leaving the blog up to peruse later. You know, for when I have the urge to get crafty or tipsy on crockpot rum. Pretty please?
Happy holidays! And thank you for showing me that the "crackpot" ain't all about Velveeta and cream-of-slop soup!

Stephanie -
We don't have a dishwasher right now.
But I do have dishwasher detergent from when we had a dishwasher in our townhouse. So, I could put that in AND a fabric softener sheet with tons o' water for 6 hours on low? high? I have a SmartPot and it gets SUPER SUPER hot. Thanks :)
- December 27, 2008 at 12:20 PM
I wonder if you added the rum at the start if the alcohol would cook off and still leave the nice rummy flavor. That way it could be enjoyed by a pregnant woman.
The fumes would be absolutely intoxicating! LOL!
- December 27, 2008 at 12:32 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Sandee, that's a really good idea, but you'd only be able to add a drop of rum, not the 5-10 shots...
Amanda, okay. Yes, cook it on low then if your crock gets really hot with the detergent and the fabric softener sheets, then wash normally by hand. If you still have some discoloration, I, personally, would just use it. At least you'll know it's clean gook. ;-)
A tomato or other acidic-based cooking sauce will help the crock regain it's rightful gleam.

Ooh, the virgin sounds so delicious. I don't drink, but that brown sugar and butter sauce with eggnog sounds positively wonderful!

Thanks for a wonderful year of inspiration! I've been reading and cooking along since close to the beginning, and I'll miss your daily posts! Happy new year and thanks again for everything.
- December 27, 2008 at 1:33 PM
For those wanting the rum flavor without the alcohol, the best way I can think of to do that is add a small amount of rum extract! I've never tried it personally, but I know my mom used to substitute it for vanilla extract in other things... Just start with a couple drops added to your prepared mug, then adjust from there if needed.
Hope this helps-- and thanks for the awesome crockpot blog!!

I've been making this at least every other day for the last 2 weeks. We LOVE it! I have one question, hopefully someone can help. Christmas season is almost over. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to replace the egg nog with? I went to buy some today, and already there isn't any in store!

Thrashers @ Rangers
Madison Square Garden, 7:00 p.m. Wednesday
Rangers record: 4-2-1
Thrashers record: 3-4-1
Both the Rangers and the Atlanta Thashers had a few days' rest following their last games and should rearing to go for Wednesday night's faceoff at Madison Square Garden. The gaping holes in the lineup left by Marian Gaborik, Chris Drury, and Vinny Prospal have been smoothly covered up by the Rangers' recent winning streak. Lacking their prime superstar in Gaborik, the Blueshirts came away with these past three wins mainly due to the gritty energy and hard work of nearly every member of the team.
As Kevin mentioned, today's New York Rangers bear a striking similarity to their Long Island rivals. The Rangers' situation as of late is also comparable to the story of their opponent tomorrow night. The Thrashers are another hard-working team without any overwhelming star power; their former franchise player, Ilya Kovalchuk, now plays for the Devils. (Kovalchuk, incidentally, scored the Devils' lone goal in Sunday evening's contest at Madison Square Garden.) However, recently instated General Manager Rick Dudley worked some magic over the summer to quietly build up a competitive team. The additions of 2010 Stanley Cup winners Dustin Byfuglien, Andrew Ladd, and Ben Eager provide for a solid veteran presence in the lineup, while youngsters such as Evander Kane and Zach Bogosian are also being counted on to play larger roles in the upcoming season. Unfortunately for the Thrashers, Bogosian, the team's promising twenty-year-old defenseman, missed the past five games due to a shoulder injury, and will not be travelling with the team to MSG.
Another notable player for the Thrashers has been Evander Kane, the Thrashers' 2009 first round draft pick, who has started off his sophomore season with a bang. He leads the team with five goals, having racked up two in the Thrashers' last game against the Washington Capitals, while sealing away one point for his team by scoring the game-tying goal with 32.9 seconds left in regulation time. Andrew Ladd has also been hot this season, having earned at least a point in every game except one. Ladd will enter Wednesday night's contest with a team-leading eight points.
While Chris Mason has been solid in net for the Thrashers, the Rangers certainly have the edge in goaltending. The Blueshirts, however, still have a job to do Wednesday evening. They are in danger of falling prey to overconfidence, considering the excitement of Sunday's epic goalie match-up and invigorating win. What's more, visiting NHL teams tend to step up their game against the Rangers due to the excitement of playing at the World's Most Famous Arena, so the Rangers need to sustain offensive pressure and put in yet another solid, sixty-minute effort no matter who the opposing team is. The Rangers have scored only as many goals as necessary (minus Brandon Dubinsky's empty net goal to seal the 3-1 win on Sunday) to defeat their opponents. Without their offensive superstar to fall back on, no win will be an easy win for the Blueshirts. However, this team has fully embraced the work ethic necessary to win games, and we should look forward to seeing another smart, energetic hockey game once the puck drops tomorrow night.

Calling it a debt limit "suspension," the House voted today to pass the "No Budget, No Pay Act," a measure that will allow the federal government to continue to spend until May 19, at which time it will consider the issue once again. It also takes away any threat of a government shutdown which the GOP initially considered as a way to force the Obama administration to agree to spending cuts. At least for the moment.
The bill just passed today adds additional incentive for the House and Senate to come to terms on fiscal matters, placing the salary checks for each member of Congress in escrow until a budget agreement is reached, or until the end of the 113th Congress, whichever happens first. The bill requires a budget from the House and the Senate by April 15. Passed largely due to House Republican votes, the bill received criticism from some Democrats. As noted by CNN,
Most House Democrats, however, voted against the bill. Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called the salary provision a "joke" and Minority Whip Steny Hoyer called the bill a "political gimmick" that perpetuates uncertainty.
But other leading Democrats said they would support the legislation because it takes the immediate threat of default off the table and divorces the debt ceiling from Republican demands for spending cuts.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the Senate would "seek to pass" the House bill.
President Obama will not oppose the bill if it reaches his desk, even though he would prefer a longer term debt ceiling increase, the White House said Tuesday.

Flashback: When The Nordiques Traded Eric Lindros to the Rangers and Flyers At The Same Time
On June 22, 1991, the Quebec Nordiques selected Eric Lindros with the first overall pick in the 1991 NHL Draft.
Lindros though, refused to sign with Quebec and instead played another season of Junior hockey in Oshawa and with the Canadian Olympic team.
This is a look back through the NY Times archives of the time where Eric Lindros was traded to the Rangers and the Flyers.
On January 11th, 1992, it was reported that Quebec was starting to soften on their stance of refusing to trade Lindros. Neil Smith reportedly made an offer for Lindros that was deemed "inadequate"
On May 15th, 1992, following the Rangers playoff elimination, it was reported that the Rangers were going to try and acquire Lindros from the Nordiques and that Neil Smith believed he had the backing of the parent company of MSG, Paramount, to invest financially in an impact player like Lindros.
On June 20, 1992, Neil Smith announces that the Rangers are in serious talks to acquire Lindros from Quebec. Smith met with the GM of Quebec until 4:30AM one night and Smith followed that by saying, "I only know what we can afford — it's a substantive amount we can give up. I don't know if other teams can beat that. We're not going to rip the team apart for anything. This is going to be a complicated deal. I have to get back to them and push my way into line. They are clearly in the driver's seat. They have something everybody wants."
The paper wonders if the Rangers would move Brian Leetch, or Tony Amonte, or Alex Kovalev and Sergei Nemchinov, in addition to the possibility of trading John Vanbiesbrouck or Mike Richter. Other potential players that could be made available would be Mike Gartner, Darren Turcotte, Doug Weight and James Patrick.
On June 21, 1992, Eric Lindros was traded to both the Rangers and the Flyers and an independent arbitrator was set to decide the case. Quebec appears to side with the Rangers on the matter even though they may have struck a deal with the Flyers first, "It is believed that the Nordiques reached potential terms on a trade with the Flyers first this morning, but then continued talking with the Rangers. The Flyers apparently believe they had a final deal, but the Nordiques apparently thought differently."
The rumored package that the Rangers were offering to Quebec was believed to include players like Brian Leetch, John Vanbiesbrouck and Alex Kovalev,
On June 22, 1992, Larry Bertuzzi is named the arbitrator who will decide the case between the Rangers and the Flyers. Players from the Rangers who are rumored to be in the deal for Lindros are James Patrick, Tony Amonte, Alex Kovalev, Sergei Nemchinov and Mike Richter or John Vanbiesbrouck. For the Flyers, the rumored players are Rob Brind'amour, Mark Recchi, Mike Ricchi, Steve Duchene and Ron Hextall. It is also being reported that as much as $20 million may also be sent to Quebec.
Bertuzzi's role in the matter is to determine which team "reach a conclusive agreement with the Nordiques." Many people within the league believe that the Rangers struck a deal with Quebec and may have even signed a paper saying so.
June 24, 1992, Tony Amonte is reportedly upset about being mentioned in trade talks and isn't sure he will report to Quebec if he is traded. John Vanbiesbrouck is also in a situation where the players union says he can become a UFA while the league says he is an RFA. Vanbiesbrouck and Neil Smith were negotiating a new multi-year deal worth more than $1 million per season but the talks were stalled when the Lindros controversy occurred.
Amonte's agent commented, "He understands the Rangers' point of view, he was treated very well there and he knows in some respects that it would be an honor to be part of the famous Lindros trade. Tony wouldn't have any problem going back to New York. It's not like it's Tony Amonte for two draft picks. But he likes New York and the way he was treated last year. He's hoping Philly gets Lindros in the trade."
June 29, 1992: The arbitrators decision is expected to come in the next day or so.
June 30, 1992: The decision on where Lindros will play will be announced today. The Rangers expected offer for Lindros is up to three first round picks, $20 million, Alex Kovalev, Tony Amonte, Doug Weight, John Vanbiesbrouck and possibly James Patrick.
July 1, 1992: The decision is that the Flyers and Nordiques shook hands on a deal for Lindros at 10:30 on June 20th and that was 80 minutes before the Rangers and Quebec came to their deal.
The Flyers traded Ron Hextall, Steve Duchene, Kerry Huffman, Peter Forsberg, Mike Ricci and $15 million to Quebec for Lindros.
The Rangers reported offer was John Vanbiesbrouck, Tony Amonte, Doug Weight, Alex Kovalev, $12 million and first round picks in 1993, 1994 and 1996. Had Vanbiesbrouck been declared a UFA, James Patrick would be been substituted into the deal.
The Rangers reportedly set the framework of a deal up 3 weeks before but ran into issues with their parent company at Paramount in regards to the finance issues of the deal. Smith needed approval for the amount of money going back to Quebec and could not agree to the deal without approval from Paramount.
The Flyers started talking to the Nordiques on June 19th and the next day they accepted the terms that Quebec set out and received Eric Lindros' phone number, which arbitrator Bertuzzi says was "critical."
July 1, 1992: Smith says that he is disappointed the Rangers didn't acquire Lindros but that it may prove to work out better and give the Rangers more depth. "We'd like an all-star team for New York," Smith said. "We'd like to upgrade the team. But I don't feel like we lost anything. It's possible we'll be stronger this way for the 1992-93 season. We would have hurt our depth."
July 2, 1992: Filip Bondy writes in the paper, that Paramount is to blame in this situation and had they "been 80 minutes more aggressive, 80 minutes less bureaucratic, it could have made a very smart business deal, and a critically important hockey decision. "
He adds, " Ranger fans have every right to ask themselves existential questions about the coming regular season, which is now expanded to 84 games from 80. Basically, what is the point of it all? To defend the President's Trophy? To get a glimpse at Peter Andersson, the new Swedish defenseman?
If there had been a Lindros, there would have been a reason to come to the Garden for that midseason game against Hartford or San Jose. There would have been this strapping, brassy teen-ager, No. 88, who idolized Mark Messier growing up and had all these outrageous things to say on almost any topic. Paul Bunyan with an attitude, and his hockey stick, Babe. "
Bondy also writes about the 80 minute difference, "The number of minutes it takes for the Rangers to lose Eric Lindros to the Philadelphia Flyers, and to sabotage their next decade. "
Note: The Rangers won the Stanley Cup in 1994 and the Flyers did not during their time with Lindros.

Here's how RW members rated this race (338 votes).
In short: Muddy in places due to recent weather but wonderful scenary and enthusiastic marshalls. Well done.Date of review: October 24, 2012
In short: If you like a trail and you like a marathon, here's your race!In full: For me this is a perfect event, it is why I love to run. Fantastic enthusiasm and organisation by Dr Rob and the gang, beautiful scenery (even though it was misty on this occasion) and a few quirks that you could only get with an event of this size. The medal, mug and running top you get at the end are great! And special mention for the ladies who put together a very welcoming breakfast post race, very well received.Date of review: October 24, 2012
In full: This was my first ever marathon, having also completed my first four half marathons this year. Three of which were off road, at the last one I did a group of runners peruaded me to look up this race - Greensands. I think they thought I was to chirpy after The Hurt, some of which has the same ground covered by Greensands. Their reasoning, that if I undertook the Greensands any marathon I did after would seem a doddle. I can sufficely say that the course devised by the chap at Trionium certainly made me run my little legs right out of there sockets. Beauutiful climbs, occcasionaly some trecherous descents & left me for desire of wanting it all to be over with six miles left to go. If you've any experience of running a half marathon off road, with lots off hills. And are left feeling like you could've given more. Definately consider this, it made me give more than I ever tnought the total sum of my parts were. Good run.Date of review: October 23, 2012
In short: greensand,hills,hills,steps,hillsIn full: a very hard but fun marathon,has cheery marshals and great value for money,its a must for anyone who thinks they can run an offroad marathon,do this,then you can say you can run a offroad marathon,but you wont be able to run the next day though! thanx to dr rob for a well organized event.Date of review: October 23, 2012
Date of review: October 23, 2012
In short: Fantastic hilly trail marathonIn full: This was our first long distance trail race. My wife and I ran together. It was really tough and that final "little" hill at 25.5 miles an absolute killer! But it was an amazing experience made all the better by brilliant organisation, a well marked trail and lots of water/sweet stops (perhaps not always at the distance suggested in the info!). Best of all were the friendly and encouraging marshals who always seemed to pop up at the most welcome times either to direct or encourage. So well done Dr Rob and all your team. See you all again next year (maybe!!)Date of review: October 22, 2012
In short: Free tea and coffee before the start, tortuous relentless hills, a fantastic finish and a fry up.In full: I was rather nervous at the thought of this race as I had heard how hard it was, but after a stirring rendition of Jeruselum we were off and all nerves vanished. The hills came and went and then came again with the sight of the ocassional marshal giving me a smile and a few words of encouragement. Then the pain arrived, pushing on the end is in sight, down the grassy slope towards a small crowd of cheering clapping runners and marshals. Quick shower and sit down to a hearty fry up. Cant wait till next year.Date of review: October 22, 2012
In short: A must do race.In full: Well done to Dr.Rob and all the marshalls. Everything about the race was as good as the sport gets.A testing course,fine views and great atmosphere.The marshalls did a fantastic job and kept us all on the right track along with offering encouragement all the way round.Hats off to all of you. I have never competed in a better value race. Race momentos were first class and as for the breakfast at the end, a stroke of genius. See you all next year.Date of review: October 22, 2012
In full: Great race. Well organised. Very friendlyDate of review: October 22, 2012
In short: A real challenge but a great off-road raceIn full: Having failed to train properly I decided to run to Leith Hill and turn back rather than miss the race altogether. Think hills, hills and more hills but the atmosphere and scenery more than made up for it. I managed to get myself lost and add a couple of miles, but that was more my own fault than that of the organisers! If you want a challenge then this is a race well worth doing.Date of review: October 22, 2012

January 25, 2013
By Lisa Curtis
Tensions between India and Pakistan are heating up along the Line of Control (LoC) that divides Kashmir. A series of border incidents in early January left three Pakistani and two Indian soldiers dead. One of the Indian soldiers was beheaded and another severely mutilated, provoking Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to say that India's ties with Pakistan would not be "business as usual" until those responsible for the mutilation of the bodies were punished.
While the U.S. needs to urge restraint on both sides to prevent escalation between the nuclear-armed neighbors, the onus is on Pakistan to demonstrate that it is cracking down on militants on its side of the border. The U.S. should pay close attention to developments along the Indo–Pakistani border in order to help prevent a breakout of hostilities, but it should resist any temptation to try to directly mediate between the historical foes.
Media reporting indicates that a Pakistani soldier was killed in a cross-border exchange between the Indian and Pakistani militaries on January 6. The Indian side claims that it was seeking to thwart an infiltration bid by Pakistan-based militants. On January 8, in another sector of the LoC, two Indian soldiers on routine patrol duty were killed and their bodies brutally mutilated. One week later, the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both countries held a brief phone discussion in which they agreed to strictly observe the cease-fire between the two countries that was established in 2003.
The latest spark in tensions follows reporting from India that militant infiltration and cease-fire violations from Pakistan rose in 2012. The Pakistani army regularly provides covering fire for militants to help them cross the frontier into India. The details of this month's border incidents are still murky, but India's response shows that its patience with Islamabad is wearing thin. Indian army leaders are likely growing weary of the Indian government's policy of forbearance toward Pakistan in the face of what they view as increasingly provocative actions by the Pakistani army.
Pakistan has been fomenting guerilla warfare and terrorism in Indian-controlled Jammu and Kashmir for the past 20 years. A Pakistan-based terrorist group, Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, demonstrated that its ambitions went beyond Kashmir in November 2008 when it conducted simultaneous gun attacks at multiple locations in the city of Mumbai, killing nearly 170. India exercised restraint in the face of those attacks and agreed to resume bilateral talks with Islamabad in March 2011—despite Pakistan's failure to try and prosecute Lashkar-e-Tayyiba leaders suspected of involvement in the 2008 attacks.
The Nuclear Factor
In what could be the Indian government sending a signal to the Pakistani army about its waning patience, a state government directive was issued this week in Jammu and Kashmir instructing residents to construct bunkers in case of nuclear war. In past Indo–Pakistani crises, it was Islamabad that played the nuclear card in order to bring international attention to the Kashmir dispute and remind conventionally superior India about its nuclear deterrent.
Pakistani civilian leaders have issued helpful statements over the past few days in an apparent effort to dampen tensions. The Pakistani minister of state for commerce, Abbas Khan Afridi, told the Pakistani senate yesterday that Islamabad will likely grant most-favored-nation trading status to India next month, a move that would boost peace talks and significantly increase bilateral trade.
Despite the growing frustration among Indian military leaders about provocations at the border, Indian political leaders are likely to keep Indo–Pakistani dialogue on track. They calculate that staying engaged with Pakistan's civilian leadership—even when the Pakistani military might seek to derail the peace process—helps strengthen the hands of civilian leaders, who have demonstrated a commitment to building better relations with India.
Minimal U.S. Role Required
The U.S. should pay close attention to developments along the Indo–Pakistani border in order to help prevent another border conflict like that which occurred between the nuclear rivals in 1999. That conflict broke out when thousands of Pakistani soldiers seized over 130 Indian posts in the heights of Kargil that had been vacated by Indian forces for the winter. The Pakistani army sought to portray the intruders as local jihadists. The U.S. played a helpful role in ending the conflict by calling Pakistan's bluff and demanding that it pull back its forces to its side of the LoC.
While this current border flare-up already appears to be dying down, there are a few guiding principles that U.S. policymakers can follow to hold Pakistan and India back from the brink of conflict:
Potential for Conflict
While the recent Indo–Pakistani border tensions are likely to remain in check, they are a reminder of the potential for military conflict between the two large nuclear powers. Washington should recognize that a precipitous troop withdrawal from Afghanistan would increase the odds of another Indo–Pakistani conflict.

Nice to see there is some progress for this game, I've had my eye on it for a while though I don't actively keep up with it.
Ok, I was very skeptical at first but after trying the demo I actually like it a lot. Especially the Arcade mode.
EDIT: It has a controller support. Now I like it even more.

The developers are great. I was watching the game for a long time. They posted WEEKLY updates on their blog! What other developer was ever this communicative?
short gameplay video ive made
Bosses are no joke. The first "real" boss fight is pretty good.
Huh, this is kind of fun so far. I admit I didn't expect much but so far the demo has been entertaining. Is there any plans for stuff at endgame? This game seems like it would end up falling into the same trap as Diablo eventually, grind for loot to kill mobs to grind for loot to kill mobs to...etc.
Liking this so far too bad the demo ends so soon so pre ordering this next week ^^
There's a demo ?
Yeah here http://www.secretsofgrindea.com/index.php/pre-order
The demo ends when you beat the slime boss at the collector test.

Corrigan Sports Complex. "Mo mentioned he was considering stepping down after we went to the (Division IV) Super Bowl at the end of the 2011 season.
"We lost that game (to Mount Pleasant, 22-13), and he said, 'This might be it.' Then he decided to try it one more time. What happened was myself, Mo and Anthony Ficocelli (for the previous 10 years Jackson's offensive coordinator) were in constant contact throughout last season. We talked about our roles.
"We knew Anthony was going to be the new (CFHS) athletic director, and we asked Mo weekly, 'Are you sure this is going to be it?'" he added. "Fic and I always had an agreement that, when Mo stepped down, and with him being the AD, I'd take the head coaching position. Still, that's pretty much in name only.
"Since the beginning, we decided it would be a partnership; Fic and I would be co-coaches. Mo had that same philosophy. He may have been the head coach, but he gave us free reign both offensively and defensively. He would certainly have his opinions, and he'd voice them. If he wanted something changed, we'd do it because we respected his decisions. We knew he knew what he was doing."
Lapierre also noted how glad he was Jackson – not to mention the School District – gave him a chance to coach 11 years ago.
"I noticed there was an assistant's opening back in 2003, and it was posted, so I applied for it," he recalled. "I called Mo, and he told me what he was looking for in an assistant. He said Mike Goodson had been his defensive coordinator, but he was stepping down. He laid out the style of offense he ran, and asked me what styles of defense I was familiar with, and what I'd run.
"I have to be honest with you; there wasn't a long line of people trying to fill the slot," he added with a laugh. "The district hired me, and that's when Mo and I went to work. We got along great. He brought me in and introduced me to his staff, and we all had the same goals."
Fact is, Lapierre will bring a wealth of knowledge to the Warriors' squad, which concluded the 2012 campaign with a 4-8 overall mark (3-5 record in D-IV). He played four years of football at Woonsocket High before graduating in 1987, then spent four years in the Marine Corps before choosing to attend Rhode Island College.
He earned a Bachelor's in Education in 1999, and took his first job as a physical education/health teacher at the high school in 2002, the year before he hitched on with Jackson and Co. as defensive coordinator.
"I had always wanted to teach and coach, and I've been doing that," he said. "This is a dream come true."
One of his first goals: Bring back Wayne Gardner, who had been an assistant under Jackson when Lapierre initially started with the grid program.
"He was with us my first two years in 2003-04, but he left for personal reasons," he offered. "He later took an assistant's job at Mount Hope, but I asked him to come back, probably in July. He told me he had to talk to his wife, but – the next day – he called me back and said, 'Jeff, I'm in!'
"He also played here at CF, so I knew this was where he wanted to be," he added. "Now I have Fic as the offensive coordinator, and I will continue to serve as the (defensive coordinator). Wayne (who serves as an unpaid volunteer) will be the offensive and defensive line coach, and Noel Grant will work with the receivers and defensive backs."
There's good and bad news facing Central Falls as it prepares for the upcoming season: First, the Warriors finished last year with a thrilling 8-7 win over postseason-bound North Smithfield, then rallied for a 27-22 decision over Lincoln on Thanksgiving eve.
"If there had been a line on that game against North Smithfield, we'd have been three-touchdown underdogs," he claimed. "They had already qualified for the playoffs, but we wanted to win it for Mo; it was his last home game (at Macomber).
"The only deciding factor for (the Northmen) was where it would be seeded; they ended up as the fourth seed, and lost to Mount Pleasant in the Super Bowl. That was like a mini-Bowl game for us, and we ended up pulling it out late.
"We had been jelling the previous couple of weeks, so we hoped the guys would rise to the challenge, especially with Mo leaving," he added. "We closed with two great wins, and it was because they played with more emotion. They wanted to do it for Mo."
On the down side, however, Lapierre will return only two senior starters, and four on offense, a trio on defense. Gone are talented graduates Brandon Canuto (quarterback/defensive back), Kenny Lopez (FB/LB); Raven Roque (OL/DL) and Matthew DePina (G/DT).
"We're going to miss those guys," he sighed. "They had so much talent and experience. They're going to be tough gaps to fill."
The two senior starters include Alex Gonzalez (center/defensive tackle) and Erico Nobre, a fullback/linebacker who split time between the varsity and JV a season ago. Among the other starters: Sophomore Luis Gracia, a running back, and junior Danny Teixeira, an offensive tackle/linebacker.
"Still, we have some guys who have impressed us this preseason," Lapierre claimed. "Julian Soares is a first-year senior, and he'll be at tight end and free safety, and we have Erik Mateo, who's a two-time Rhode Island indoor and outdoor high jump champion. He'll play at wide receiver and defensive back.
"Then there's a sophomore, Marcelino DaVeiga, who will probably play corner and receiver, and Jorge Vasquez is another first-year senior who will be an offensive tackle and our kicker. He's got a good foot, no doubt; we actually just discovered him. Erico had been kicking for us, but Jorgie is showing a little more leg.
"The thing I love about this team is their youth and enthusiasm, and desire to learn," he continued. "What's killing me is their youth; that is, their inexperience. We just don't have a lot of guys coming back. We have some first-year seniors who are going to play and will be relied upon to contribute, but they're probably going to see some action before they may be comfortable.
"This year will be a stepping stone for a lot of them, and a lot of the younger kids, we hope, will step it up and learn quickly."
He noted that, during most seasons at CF, it seems the varsity club is rebuilding, and this may be yet another one.
"With Fic and myself, Wayne and Noel, we'll find some way to put a competitive product on the field," he grinned. "That's not boasting. It's a testament to the kids. They're working hard, and that's always the first thing you need."

There may be some people that aren't noticing but coaches that have athletes that compete again Carbon's swimmers at meets are.
The Dino's times are getting faster.
Coach Phyllis Cox took her team to a meet in Tooele last week, and came away with a seventh place finish in a field of 17. That despite the fact that the team only had nine guys swimming on the boys team.
All the schools at the meet were 3A schools, but the Carbon team took a higher place than many teams that are considered swimming powers including Park City.
The Carbon swimmers times dropped so much that Tooele coach Mel Roberts asked Cox how she had achieved such a feat.
Judge Memorial High far outdistanced the competition won the meet with a total of 466 points while host Tooele took second with 271. Carbon scored 136, three more than the Miners.
At the top of the heap for the Dinos was the 200 freestyle relay team made up of Chase Norton, Chris Eikenbary, Jacob Mantz and Bradlee Leonard which finished third out of 30 teams.
Individually the top boy swimmers for Carbon were Norton, who took seventh in both the 50 and 100 freestyle, and Eikenbary who took seventh in 200 IM and eighth in the 100 breaststroke.
Many of the individual events had dozens of competitors ranging from 32 to 82 individuals.
Others that competed and did well individually were Mantz, Leonard, Leo Yu, Jimmy Dilley, Dan Gibson, DJ Wiley and Thomas Peterson.
In the girls competition the team took 13th out of 17 teams. The top finishers for the Lady Dinos was the 200 freestyle relay team which took 22nd place out of 34 competitors. That team was composed of Regina Tetreault, Bonnie Peterson, Trisha Erickson, and Erika Flower.
In the individual competiton sophomore Rikki Birch finished 28th in the 100 butterfly and Tetreault took 29th in the 200 IM.
The categories in the girls individual events had numbers of swimmers ranging from 28 to 109 competitors.
Others that competed included Danae Rich, Kelsey Gillespie, Megan Brandon, April Sorensen, Rosemary Dinkins and Victoria Brown.
At the meet the Carbon girls had only 12 swimmers, eight of which are in their first year of competition.

|Kathy Hanna-Smith and Joann Eich stand by some of the thousands of information requests the travel bureau has recieved due to their constant advertising. The ads were made possible by several partnerships.
Members of Utah's Castle Valley Travel Region have been working overtime this year to show the rest of the nation all there is to offer here in southeastern Utah.
According to travel region director Kathy Hanna-Smith, the region started by advertising in print with the Utah Cooperative Marketing program.
The focus of the cooperative program was on Utah summer destinations and included a reader response program, email blast and register to win campaign.
Hanna-Smith reported that the program was speculated to generate thousands of leads, all aimed at increasing local tourism dollars.
"The first round which came in last week generated nearly 1000 leads," said Smith. "And the second round brought in 1300. Our account representative says that we should receive leads each week from now until the end of August."
Market insertions for this campaign are included in the Arizona Republic, Los Angeles Times, Orange County Register, San Francisco Examiner, Denver Post, Rocky Mountain News and Las Vegas Review bringing in a total circulation of 1,001,000, a readership of 2,912,910 and 227,000 emails.
In addition to the cooperative program, for the second year the region has placed advertising in the National Geographic Traveler Magazine and West of the Mississippi.
The travel region parters with Vernal, Emery, Moab and Monticello to maximize tourist interest.
According to Hanna-Smith, this advertising power which is offered to many non-profit agencies including cities, counties, non-profit destination marketing organizations and similar public entities through the Utah Office of Tourism Co-Operative Marketing Program that is earmarked through the legislature.
Hanna-Smith reported that $2 million dollars are earmarked for the co-operative program and funds are then dispensed when specific entities write in for the the monies, which has to be spent outside of Utah.
The materials sent out from Castle Valley include the travel region's magazine and promotional materials from Carbon County Recreation.
"The office has to hire additional part time people to fulfill these thousands of requests but the return on our investment cannot possibly be measured," said Hanna-Smith.
"However we do know that if we don't do anything, nothing will happen. Without these types of partnerships, there is no way possible we could afford to buy at this level."
The local travel region has an advertising fund of approximately $90,000 that is generated only from the transient room tax of three percent.
No money is inserted in the budget from the county's general fund.
"Our opportunity comes from the ability to leverage our dollars through partnerships," said Hanna-Smith.
Annually the Price office does seven to 10 shows in and outside of the state.
"Tourism is an economic arm of economic development and every year we find new and better ways to promote our tourism region," concluded Hanna-Smith.
"Due to the business traveler, the visitor and the increased needs of the energy companies we are in dire need of more hotel rooms. I guess it's a good problem to have but there is more revenue to be generated if we could get some new hotels built. Many areas similar to ours are building new hotels, so we need to be in search of those hoteliers."

Last week was a tough week for many in our community. We were faced with the tragic loss of an entire family.
There was also a very violent domestic violence incidence.
Both these events had an impact on me personally in very different ways. It brought to mind that the holiday season is a mix of good feelings and, for some, great sadness. For all the warm memories and good cheer we generate this time of year, there are many who this season brings some sadness for as well.
I do not want to bring down the mood of the season, but I hope we also are paying attention to those around us who may be struggling to get through the holidays. I know several individuals who are coping with memories of loved ones who have died. They tell me that this is a tough time of year.
As we approach the heart of the holiday season, let's put aside the petty issues of Christmas and other celebrations to reach out to our friends and neighbors.
I am not going to worry about who uses the term holiday or Christmas when I shop. I will not stress over the amount of presents that I need to buy. I will refuse to take issue about how early Christmas stuff is put in the stores. I have also resolved to quit pouting around about my own little perceived problems.
Thanks to everyone who has picked angels off the angel trees around the community. Thanks to everyone who has visited the nursing homes to add cheer and song to their day. Thanks to everyone who has taken a plate of cookies to their neighbor. Thanks to the kids who take a present to their teacher. Thanks to the volunteers who give of themselves everyday to take on tasks in our community.
Keep reaching out to others. Today there is someone who is sitting home feeling forgotten and alone.
I hope that this year, we find them and show them someone cares.

Pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) Degree immersed in a supportive, close-knit community that propels you to fulfill your potential and beyond.
The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree is a 4-year comprehensive studio/liberal arts program offered in the following majors:
The Bachelor of Arts is a 4-year liberal arts degree program.
Students may elect to earn a 5-year double major in:
Professional internships are required of all majors and are usually completed during the junior or senior year. Appropriate internship opportunities are available from each academic department chairperson or internship coordinator and are listed in the Artists' Resource Center or Career Resource Center. These include, but are not limited to: art studio assistantships, museum or gallery assistantships, and professional placements with advertising agencies, newspapers, magazines, media companies, and design, photography, illustration, or animation studios.
Freshmen who enter in January can take a group of courses which allow them to accelerate their progress in Foundation and move into their chosen major in their second semester. These students must still fulfill all credit requirements for a degree in their major.
We recognize that in some cases neither academic records nor artistic portfolio readily identify a student's full capabilities. The Visual and Academic Enrichment Programs support students' studies in art college, specifically those who haven't met all of our admissions requirements yet clearly show strong potential for success. These students are accepted into one year enrichment programs, which are variations of our regular foundation curriculum. The programs include a first-year seminar designed to address the individual needs of each student. Students also have a special academic advisor who works with them through their first two years. Upon successful completion of either the Visual or Academic Enrichment Program students move directly to the second year of the BFA program in their chosen major, and can complete their degree in the normal amount of time.
First year foundation students are eligible for advanced placement, foundation studio exemptions, and enrolling in Honors Studio and Honors English. Eligibility is determined by high school grades, SAT and/or AP test scores, and portfolio.
A three-week mini-session in January and a full summer semester offer students the opportunity to supplement studies in their core discipline, fulfill requirements, and expand their horizons. The intensive January session features a selection of courses taught by AIB faculty. The summer session offers courses from all departments, including liberal arts offerings and travel courses.
Bachelor of Fine Arts students may opt in their junior year to spend a semester abroad. They can choose to study the visual art, history, humanities, language and culture of Italy at The Art Institute of Florence, of France at Pont-Avon School of Art, or of Ireland at The Burren College of Art. The Illustration and Design Departments offer exchange programs with the Willem deKooning Academy in the Netherlands, Ecole de Communication Visuelle in Paris, and Hochschule für Kunste, Bremen, Germany.
Through AICAD, students gain practical training for a semester, or a year, by working independently in a Greenwich Village studio through Parson's School of Design or as an intern in a professional art studio. Distinguished visiting artists supplement this experience with lectures and demonstrations.
Membership in the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design (AICAD) gives students the opportunity to spend one semester of their junior year at one of AICAD's 35 American member institutions or international affiliates, through AICAD's Mobility Program. The Mobility Program provides a wide range of course study options and the chance to study in another region of the United States or Canada.

So, I recently I was at the local shopping bazaar, when I ran into a couple of Christian street preachers. This greatly disturbed my friend Joe, and I. So we decided, hey, why dont we go apreachin' too?

I tried getting the pamphlets off of the sticky, only to find the links dont work. Then I also dont know which topics to bring up, and how to defend them ( I am currently reading through the gospel, I should know how to soon)
any tips and tricks would be wonderful

MASSENA Town officials have told Massena Memorial Hospital administrators that the Town Council will not decide whether to privatize the struggling hospital until another option for keeping it open is presented.
Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray said he and Councilman John F. Macaulay were joined at a meeting Wednesday by the hospital boards finance committee, CEO Charles F. Fahd II and representatives from the Civil Service Employees Association and New York State Nurses Association, the unions representing hospital employees.
We gave them a time frame and a directive that they collectively need to find a different plan that will save the hospital $8 million over the next three years, Mr. Gray said. That is the amount of money that will be needed to keep the hospital solvent and municipal.
Mr. Gray declined to say how much time the hospital was given to put a plan B together. Everybody agreed there was adequate time to develop a plan, he said.
Mr. Gray said the parties will meet again before the deadline to provide town officials with an update. He said a date for the follow-up meeting has not been set.
Mr. Gray said that while he and the town board seek an alternative plan, its important to realize that privatization is not off the table.
We dont know whether, when we have plan B, that will be the direction we should go, he said. He added that the Town Council simply wants a choice of options.
The council was frustrated that we really only had two options, stay the course and go bankrupt or privatize, Mr. Gray said. Stay the course and go bankrupt isnt really an option.
Mr. Gray also said that he and other town board members were frustrated by the unions claims that they had offered the hospital ways to save money but that those proposals fell on deaf ears.
Mr. Gray said it is likely the alternative proposal will include wage freezes and a change in health insurance benefits.
People will need to determine if those sacrifices in the alternative plan are worth it to retain their state retirement, he said.
Hospital officials responded to the request by saying the hospital board had already voted to move forward with privatization, Mr. Gray said. They reminded us that the board had made a decision to pursue privatization, and I reiterated to them that the town board wanted a plan B to consider, he said.
In order for privatization to occur, the town board must authorize the transition.

Student Spotlight
Vanessa Born
Expected Graduation: Spring 2013
Besides having a major in Environmental Studies, I also have a major in Secondary Education in Biology and a minor in Health Education. My goal is to combine these three elements into a curriculum where students will learn the complex interconnectedness of our world. My main interests are ecology, human anatomy and physiology, and reproductive health. I have a current GPA of 3.75 and am a member of Golden Key International Honour Society, the National Society of Leadership and Success, Student WEA, and Kappa Delta Pi International Honor Society in Education. When I am not working my butt off trying to graduate within six years, I enjoy spending time outdoors hunting, fishing, trapping, camping, and running. I have found running to be the most enjoyable activity because it clears my mind, keeps me healthy, and connects me to the environment when I am out on my favorite trail. After I graduate, I hope to find a job teaching in a public middle school and also qualify for the Boston Marathon.

text: So I am currently a high school student that is very seriously interested in joining the National Guard. I just had a talk with my family today about joining the NA and they said that they were very much impressed by my mature decision. They also appreciated that I thought it through. So my plan is to enlist while I attend my college education. My family members did bring about a good idea however: They were concerned that if I joined I may have difficult juggling my schedules between the armed forces and college life. So I come to the forums asking for anybody with experience in the National Guard with their college education. PLEASE, I ask that you be honest and unbiased. I really would like to get a sense of how life is going between the two. Did you feel overwhelmed? Did you regret/not regret the decision? Why? Have you ever been deployed for active duty while in school? And if so, how did they affect your schooling?
