Wow,Jovan black musk is stunningly beautiful at a very low price. It reminds me of the American Idol moments perfume which is not made anymore. I placed it under the "Romantic" & "oriental/spicy" category because for my nose,I get more of a low key floral and oriental musk tone that's perfect for a romantic night out.

I've heard so many nice things about these Jovan fragrances and from the reviews here,y'all convinced me a lot,they are absolutely beautiful!! I feel like 25 again after trying this one here, black musk along with the original and the Island Gardenia one. I'm so used to buying expensive perfume but sometimes cheap can be good,so now I have three favorites to choose from and black musk is definitely a winner.
Written by A on June 14, 2015
My late grandmother used the original musk by Jovan a long time ago and I loved the way it smelled on her,but I decided to give the black musk a try. Mmm,I'm in love here,it is like a combination of soft sweet flowers with a touch of berries and the musk. I will definitely buy this again.
Written by Black Beauty on April 03, 2015
Jovan black musk has become my favorite scent. I bought it as a Valentine's day gift for myself along with Rihanna's rebelle perfume, another favorite too. I can use either one for work or a night out because they both smell fantastic & they are not overpowering at all. Best purchases I've made in quite a while now.
Written by Jamaicanpatty on February 11, 2015
Oh my goodness,what a lovely fragrance. I bought it at a pre-Christmas sale and even though it's a cheapo, it's not overpowering and it works perfectly for both day and night. Love the hibiscus design on the bottle,makes it so modern & feminine. Jovan black musk....For the sexy woman in you.

Deputies arrested two suspects on Wednesday in connection with the stabbing of a man outside a Kissimmee bar late Saturday night.
Detectives responded to a call outside Roscoe's Bar at 2344 N. Orange Blossom Trail around 11:16 p.m. to find a man with stab wounds in the bar's parking lot. Witnesses identified two suspects, later identified as Hassan Frames, 32, and Henrietta Bell, 35, who were engaged in an argument with the victim.
Deputies are charging Frames with simple battery and Bell with aggravated battery without intent to kill.
The victim was taken to Florida Hospital Kissimmee with non-life-threatening injuries. There, he told deputies that two black males were arguing with him and would not let him leave the parking lot on his motorcycle, when a black female stabbed him from behind. He said he did not know the suspects.
Deputies say Frames and Bell are also being charged with possession of cannabis and drug paraphernalia, and additional charges may be pending.

So you've picked out the perfect pair of headphones, but they sound a little flat and quiet coming from your computer's crappy built-in audio. Here's a little gadget (or set of gadgets) that will make those headphones sound much better.
What a DAC and Amp Do
When you play music from your computer or mobile device, it goes through a Digital-Analog Converter (DAC) and an amplifier. The DAC converts the audio from a digital signal to an analog one (obviously), and the amplifier is what sends it to your headphones. The problem is, most devices don't have very good DACs or amps built in. So, if you get a nice high-end pair of headphones, you may still be getting less than ideal sound from your computer or MP3 player. That's where an external DAC and amp come in. (If you're just using the default iPod headphones, turn back now. A DAC isn't going to help you at all.)
You can buy a DAC and amp separately, or buy a combo unit that contains both. It'll improve your sound in a couple ways:
- A DAC eliminates interference that your onboard sound card may experience inside your computer and ensures you're getting the best possible sound quality.
- An amplifier boosts the volume of the sound, which is particularly useful for higher impedance headphones (headphones above 32Ω) that will sound quiet through a regular headphone jack.
- Amplifiers will often come with other features, like bass boost or other equalizer functions, that allow you to alter the sound.
Note that you can only get the full benefit of a DAC/amp combo with your desktop or laptop computer, via USB or SPDIF. While you can get DAC/amp combos for iPods and other mobile devices, the DAC half of the device won't actually work. Only the amp half will. This is still great for giving your sound a boost in volume if it's coming out too quiet, but just know that the DAC won't work—so if you only plan on using it with an iPod, you don't need a DAC or combo, just a mobile amp.
Which DAC and Amp to Buy
You have a lot of different DACs and amps to choose from, with different features, inputs and outputs, and form factors. Here are a few different types you'll see:
- Portable Amps: If you have a pair of high-impedance headphones that just won't get loud enough with your portable music player (like a smartphone), a portable amp—which doesn't usually contain a DAC at all—is ideal. The $25 Fiio E6 is a good example of this.
- Desktop DACs: These can either be coupled with a desktop amp for your headphones, or used alone (usually if your computer produces interference with your build-in sound card). These can range from the budget-focused Behringer UCA202 ($30) to the more expensive Schitt Modi ($109) or the JDS Labs ODAC ($150).
- Desktop Amps: If you don't need a DAC (or if you're pairing a separate DAC and Amp), a desktop amplifier will help boost the volume of your headphones. The FiiO E09k ($109) is a decent budget amp, but if you're willing to spend a little more, the Schitt Magni ($109) and JDS Labs O2 ($130) are also popular options (and a little more well-built).
- DAC/Amplifier combos: If you want both a DAC and amp together in one package, you have quite a few choices. I like the Audioengine D2 ($169—buy it refurbished if you can), which works well with both headphones and speakers. If you're on more of a budget, the FiiO E10k ($75) is a popular choice. You can also get the ODAC and O2 combo unit from JDS Labs ($279). If you want something that can be used on-the-go, the $88 Fiio E17 is designed for both mobile devices and computers.
The above section has been updated since the publishing of this article for a more well-rounded selection of DACs and amps at different price points.
As you look through each of these, you'll find that they all have different outputs, feature sets, and so on. For example, some may have a bass boost knob, while others will automatically mute your speakers when you plug headphones in. These are far from the only options, too—you can see more suggestions in our DAC Hive Five.
You get the idea, though: which one you buys will depend on your headphones, the device you're using to play the audio, and your personal preferences. Before you buy, read reviews and check out forums like Head-Fi for more detailed information on each model, especially when pertaining to a specific set of headphones. I've also found the Audiophile subreddit over at Reddit to be full of especially helpful and honest people. As long as you do your research, you should end up with something that takes your headphones from good to great with little effort.
Do you have any experience with DACs and amps? Share your thoughts, findings, and other opinions in the comments below.

AFDC Makes Charging Easier for Electric Vehicle Drivers
December 23, 2010
The Alternative Fueling Station Locator, an online mapping tool of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Alternative Fuels and Advanced Vehicles Data Center (AFDC), now provides a new way to search for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, making it easier for drivers to plug in. For years, EV owners have used the Station Locator to find public charging stations. But beginning Thurdsay, Dec. 23, they'll also be able to track down the exact type of station they need and know how long it will take to charge their vehicles.
EV drivers have several options in charging equipment, each with different voltages and corresponding charging times. A Level 1 charger has a 120 volt (V), alternating-current (AC) plug, providing a full charge in eight to 20 hours, depending on the vehicle. Level 2 equipment operates on a 240 V circuit, fully charging a vehicle in three to eight hours. Direct-current (DC) fast charging equipment supplies electricity at 480V, requiring only about 30 minutes to top off EV batteries. The Station Locator distinguishes among these three options, letting drivers know which kinds of stations are where. Users can also locate less common charging equipment, such as inductive paddles, and emerging technologies, as they appear.
With the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt now rolling out into the U.S. market, and models from other manufacturers coming soon, the demand for accurate, detailed information about EV charging stations is growing. An increasing number of drivers need to know where it's possible to plug in for extended periods, while at work or shopping, for example, and where to "fill up" quickly while on the go. In allowing EV owners to search for charging stations by equipment type, the AFDC is continuing its commitment to being the premier resource on alternative fueling options, including electric charging. For more information on EVs and charging infrastructure, visit the EV section of the AFDC Web site. To find station locations using your mobile device, visit the Mobile Alternative Fueling Station Locator. The AFDC is a comprehensive clearinghouse of data, publications, tools, and information related to advanced transportation technologies. It is sponsored by DOE's Clean Cities initiative.

These cutting blades accompany the Cricut® personal trimmer. Dual blades are sharp enough to cut paper in half to make easy 6 by 12 sheets of paper which fit the smaller Cricut® machine cutting mats.
Click here to read product details
Like the trimmer & color but the blades go dull (shorter) after awhile. Need a more high volume/performance blade. Thanks, PamDeK
If you own the Provo Craft paper trimmer, these replacement blades are a "MUST HAVE". I keep an extra set with both of my trimmers (one at home, and one in my crafting tote). They are super easy to change by simple spreading the cutting guide slightly and removing the old place and inserting the new one the same way. Be sure to keep the little plastic safety cover on your blades when not in use, as they are sharp.
I've noticed that the blades(cricut, also) all seem to be dull after only a few cuts:(. Please, GO GREEN, we do not need more plastic in the landfills, or recycle bin!!! Let us purchase just the blades, & not the blade holder(grey plastic).
Purchased the replacement blades and was very disappointed with them. They are not permanently secured and as you cut the blade pushes up and is flat with the bottom.

Every summer, Maine fields are filled with workers from Latin America, Jamaica, and Haiti raking berries and picking apples and broccoli. Many are in the country legally through government work programs - others are not. As Jennifer Mitchell reports, with immigration reform front and center in Washington this week, Maine's agriculture industry is watching the debate closely, and hoping that the reforms will bring good news to Maine's growers.
There are an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the country. It's not clear how many are in Maine. In the agricultural community, both from the growers' side and from the workers' side, there's a climate of fear," says Steve Meyerhans, a Maine apple grower with orchards in Fairfield and Manchester. The immigration and labor situation in Maine's fields right now is a little uncomfortable, he says.
"There's a climate of fear that, from the workers, that they may be deported or arrested," he says. "And the growers are working under a cloud of fear because they may be shut down or fined for using a migrant worker who may not be - may not have the right documentation."
For growers like Meyerhans, immigrants represent a potential workforce - people whose hands are needed to pick Maine's famous MacIntosh and Cortland apples, rake the rocky blueberry barrens, and pick the heads of Aroostook broccoli. Nothing, he says, has been gained by making it harder for foreign laborers to get legitimate jobs.
His workers come from Jamaica on a government work visa - many of them returning each summer since 1985. But for the millions of others who come looking for work, it makes no sense to just turn them away. Ed Flanagan, president and CEO of Jasper Wyman and Son, agrees.
"We in agriculture have been screaming for over 20 years that we need more labor," he says. Wyman's is the largest producer and processor of wild blueberries in the country. A hundred years ago, the bulk of that berry picking labor might have come from just up the road. Now, those workers may travel thousands of miles to do the job. And that, says Flanagan has been a political hot potato for years.
"We don't need to be held up as the bad guys for hiring people when, 'After all, Americans would do that work,'" Flanagan says. "That is the biggest falacy going on. Americans don't want to do that work anymore."
The solution, say both Myerhans and Flanagan, is immigration reform. And both are watching the discussions in Washington, following the defeat of an Agricultural Jobs Bill co-sponsored by Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, which would have made it easier for migrant farm laborers to work legally. That bill would have also provided migrants with a path to citizenship.
Flanagan says the bi-partisan proposals being discussed by President Obama and the Senate are a step in the right direction. The Senate plan includes a process for legalization and eventual citizenship for the country's illegal immigrants.
Steve Meyerhans says that path to citizenship would help solve some of the nation's agricultural labor crunch. Failing that, he says, there's another way forward, especially if citizenship turns out to be a deal-breaker, as it was in the defunct Ag jobs bill.
"There should be a streamlined and easy legal guest worker program," Meyerhans says. "And I think we could probably give everyone, all of the 10 or 11 million, legal status as guest workers so that they'd be free to cross the border to go back to their homeland."
Meyerhans says in addition to helping Maine's fruit growers, a liberal guest worker program could also make it easier for separated migrant families to get back together SINCE illegal immigrants cannot travel freely back and forth over the border.
David Bell is executive director of the Maine Wild Blueberry Commission. He too is watching the discussion in Washington. "One thing that the farm community is really looking for Congress and the government to solve is to figure out a system of documentation, visas, etcetera," he says.
Currently, farmers bear the legal onus of hiring illegal workers. But Bell says that with the reforms, he'd like to see that onus shifted to the government. "You know, with fake documentation and things like that it becomes increasingly difficult for a farmer to discern who is legal and who is not," Bell says.
At this point, the Senate has put forth a bi-partisan proposal, but there's no guarantee it will stay that way as the finer points are hammered out. One sticking point may be over whether increased border security is needed before addressing citizenship.

Tortorella has led his team to the fourth best regular season record in the
Eastern Conference over the last five years. Only Pittsburgh, Boston and
Washington have had better records over that span.
for Mr. Tortorella, the phrase "what have you done for me lately" rings even
more loudly in the cathedral of Madison Square Garden than almost any other
arena in hockey. For the Rangers, what started as fan-chatter in February
evolved into genuine worry in March, and playoff-panic through April eventually
reached a boiling point in May following a series of disappointing Ranger
performances throughout the 2013 NHL post-season.
No one can
deny that Torts has led the Rangers to regular season success in New York, but
with both the Bruins and Pens winning the Stanley Cup over that span, Ranger
fans have clamored for something more.
Tortorella leaves New York with a record of 171-115-29 in the regular season, but
a record of only 19-25 in the postseason. Last year, (their most successful
during his regime) the Rangers finished first in the conference and won two
post-season series, but only boasted a post-season record of .500 (10-10).
The Rangers
went 26-18-4 this season and finished 6th in the Eastern Conference.
He also exercised some of the post-season demons he's had by eliminating the
Washington Capitals from the playoffs for the second season in a row.

He has come up with a couple of big hits but isn't really hitting that well here in Baltimore. Interesting to see what Buck does.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
Gary Chamberlain couldn't believe what he was seeing. And it seemed everywhere he went, it was always the same thing.
Trash of all kinds littered alongside highways and interstates in his native Arizona. Everything from pieces of blown out tires to bottles and cans to old torn clothing. Chamberlain's seen it out there and now he's on a mission to get it all cleaned up.
"As an avid cyclist I could not ride anywhere without seeing trash along a road," said Chamberlain, 66.
Finally Chamberlain took matters into his own hands. He got a bunch of big trash bags and went out to clean up parts of roadsides near his town. It was this simple action of cleaning up trash that sprung an idea he has taken with him around the country to states including Arizona, Montana, Utah and Idaho.
After working on the idea for the last four years, Chamberlain said he has seen a lot of growth behind the initiative. Businesses have donated materials including large trash bags, trash grabbers and other materials to help do what is necessary to get the trash along roads cleaned up. And by keeping things clean, Chamberlain explained, businesses can benefit from the work being done.
"As people drive through a community and they see trash littered all over the place, do you think they would want to stop there or possibly vacation there?" Chamberlain said. "I'll go to businesses in a community, pitch them the idea and do the work for them while getting funding from them later."
Chamberlain works as the "Point Man" with Folksville USA, a group that works to restore the beauty to America's highways and honoring Armed Forces, veterans and communities. He has helped organize groups to go out and help pick up trash in areas that most need to be cleaned. While there are signs along roadways notifying passersby of groups or organizations that are responsible for cleaning portions of the roadways, Chamberlain said the Adopt-a-Highway program may need to be fixed.
"The program is broken in Arizona," Chamberlain explained. "Some folks down there don't want to admit there might be a problem with trash along the highways."
Under the Adopt-A-Highway program in Utah, groups who have entered into an agreement to clean certain areas of highways "shall clean the litter from the indicated section of roadway at least three times per year for the duration of the contract period, which shall be a minimum of two years." Groups work with Utah Department of Transportation to come up with clean-up days or UDOT will assign days for the groups to go out and clean-up, according to the Adopt-A-Highway section listed on the UDOT website.
Chamberlain said the groups who go out and clean-up the highways generally do a good job and don't get the credit they deserve when they do good work. But in Chamberlain's mind, there is still much more that can be done to help out.
"It takes no more than 15 minutes to go out and fill up a bag full of trash," he said. "Doing things like this can help people to take a little more pride in their country and develop a better appreciation for learning to work and make money."
Working with businesses in areas he sees with lots of trash along highways has been a major boon to his work, Chamberlain said. And with so many groups and organizations looking for donations from businesses for fundraisers and other projects, Chamberlain said instead of businesses just giving out the money, they could request those groups and organizations go out and clean-up highways.
Alan Peterson, owner of Peterson Chemical & Janitorial Inc., said he would be supportive of a project such as the highway clean-up that helps give back to the community instead of just giving a free handout to anyone asking for it.
"I like the idea of helping give back and having a lot of pride in the local community," said Peterson, who said he gets as many three requests for donations and handouts a week.
While he often has to turn away people who come to him requesting donations, Peterson said going door-to-door asking for money and not giving anything back for it is something that needs to change.
"It's definitely a mindset that people have which needs to change," Peterson explained. "A person could go pick up trash along the highway and we'll sponsor them to do it, instead of just giving away money. It helps people, especially youth, to learn to serve and help make things better in the community."
Chamberlain estimates he has raised over $4,000 from businesses in areas he has traveled to while working on the project. During his travels, Chamberlain said he will stop along highways with lots of trash around and spend a few minutes filling large 33 gallon trash bags. He said he charges $10 per bag of highway trash that he personally collects. He said he conducts his activities as a for-profit business, using the money raised to cover the direct expenses for his efforts with the $10 fee.
In his recent trip through Utah down to Price, Chamberlain stopped at the Idaho/Utah border and filled a large trash bag with materials he found in the area. He placed the bag against the sign's metal poles, hoping people will notice and appreciate an area that is now a little cleaner.
While he's spent thousands of miles on the road going from state to state, Chamberlain said the work has been worth it by meeting people and helping spread an idea he believes in across the country.
"It's been a major commitment for me," Chamberlain said. "My wife just tells me that I have a very expensive hobby."

The state Senate and Assembly will hold a joint hearing to discuss the plan by the state Office of Mental Health to redesign in-patient services across New York on Sept. 17 at City Hall.
OMH has proposed moving child in-patient care services from the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center to Utica and adult care services to Syracuse and creating 15 regional centers of excellence.
The hearing will include members of the Assembly and Senate Standing Committees on Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities and the Senate Standing Committee on Health.
Assembly member Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, said she hopes members of the committees will understand that access is going to be very problematic for people in our community because of the sheer distance if in-patient care is moved to Utica and Syracuse.
Charles Chuck W. Kelly, chair of the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center Task Force, said he wants to see people from the community coming together to help convince the state to make Ogdensburg a regional center of excellence.
I want the people here to speak frankly about the situation so the legislators get the voice of the north country, he said. Anybody can come and speak and give their views on the proposal.
Mrs. Russell said people should sign up to speak at the hearing by the end of the week to ensure they will get a chance to have their voice heard.
Each person will get 10 minutes, Mrs. Russell said, and people interested in speaking should call her office, 786-0284, to sign up. People can also visit her Assembly website for more information.
Its important that we have a diverse group of people testifying, she said.
The hearing will begin at 10 a.m. in the City Council Chambers, City Hall, 330 Ford Street.
A similar hearing was held on Monday in Farmingdale and a third hearing will be held on Sept. 19 in Middletown.

BIDDEFORD, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Veterans past and present answered questions and told stories to social sciences students, sharing their tales of service and sacrifice in advance of Veteran's Day on Monday.
"I hope that they learn that there is a personalized element to history," explained Andrew Reddy, head of the social science department at Biddeford High School. "It is the story part of history that they are learning, that there were personal events that occurred, it is not just the larger than life figures that are in history."
Leon Stawasz was just 19 years old in 1943 when he was drafted to serve his country. Stawasz had quit his job as a sheet metal worker in anticipation of being called upon to take part in World War II.
He says he scored well in his entry testing and was offered the opportunity to enroll in officer's training school, but he had other plans.
"I want to fight! I want to fight!" Stawasz told the Army. "So I ended up going to basic training - I didn't know my left foot from my right foot - and all of a sudden you are going to gunnery school," he recalled.
Stawasz says he found that amusing, because initially he wanted to be a pilot, but because he needed glasses to see well, he didn't qualify for flight school. Now the Army was going to make him a gunner.
He says he knew nothing about guns, but wanted to fly so he would always have a ride where ever he was going. He ended up being assigned as a gunner on a B-17 and was shipped over to Europe. He says he'd never been in a plane before, let alone overseas.
He and his crew mates conducted a dozen successful missions, but number 13 wasn't so lucky. To this day he says he still doesn't know what happened to the plane, all he knows is that when the pilot told the men to jump he knew it was time to go.
When he landed on the ground safe and sound he was captured by the Germans.
"I was a POW until the British rescued me in May of the following year," said Stawasz. "I had almost a year in the POW camp."
Ironically enough for Stawasz, the last three months of captivity were spent marching back and forth across Poland. Stawasz says the commander of the German unit that held him prisoner refused to take the men to a concentration camp as ordered, knowing the POWs would be killed, so instead he marched them around while trying to find the right group of Allied Forces to surrender to.
"I went down from about 140 pounds to about 98 pounds," he said. "You could play xylophone on my ribs."
After the war, Stawasz says he goofed around a bit, enrolled in med school and then ultimately became an investigator for the Veteran's Administration.
He says there were many aspects of war that were unpleasant, but that he enjoyed his time spent serving his country. He says the relationships he forged with his crew members and others he met along the way are something he cherishes to this day.
While Stawasz story of being captured generated the most questions from students, he was not the only service member who addressed the group of roughly 100 students. Veteran's from Vietnam, the Gulf War and several other conflicts also shared stories and answered questions.
Andrew Reddy says it is a great opportunity for the kids to connect with members of their community and learn more about people that they may pass on the street without realizing what they have done to help our country.
"I think the purpose is to kind of educate our students to the importance and meaning of this holiday that is coming up," said Reddy. "It is not just a day off from school, but they should know that it is celebrating the veterans who served, and who are still alive, and how they should be honored and respected and celebrated."
Time Warner Cable helped organize the event as part of their 4th annual "Take a Veteran to School" program. This year Time Warner plans to bring veterans to 16 Maine schools as part of the program.

text: With the rumble of heavy equipment and the sight of long lines of blue plastic pipe being placed in the streets, Helper residents got the first look at what will be familiar sights and sounds for the next three years. This was the scene Monday morning on 300 West Street between Birch and Maple. Workers from Condie Construction were busy off-loading 12-inch sewer pipe from a fork lift. The streets have been spray-painted with markings to direct excavation and installation workers. Observers can get some idea of the scope of the work ahead by looking at the manpower, machines and material going in on this first of seven phases. Total cost of the project is pegged at more than $19 million. One watcher noted that while the price tag is steep, the replacement of infrastructure will keep the city going. "And we're glad to be a part of it," replied one construction worker.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
Atomic athlete Kilian Jornet came in second place at the Marmotta Trophy in the Martell Valley (South Tyrol/ Italy). On a technically challenging course he finished the race only slightly behind the winner.
The Marmotta Trophy was the second to last World Cup event of this season, studded with many top athletes. The southern part of the Alps saw only little snow this year, which was also noticeable during the Marmotta Trophy. Nonetheless, the contestants participated in a perfect, though technically difficult race. The snow was frozen and particularly the downhill stretches proved a real test for the contestants. Frenchman William Bon Mardion clinched the victory in a tight race. Spaniard Kilian Jornet delivered a strong performance in a difficult race with five ascents and two stretches where the skis had to be carried, finishing in second place. The two top athletes remained in each other's pursuit from the start to the end of the race, alternatingly taking the lead. In the end, Bon Mardion prevailed, winning with a finishing time of 1:52:40.1, and 22 seconds ahead of Jornet. "I am very happy about this result. William performed an excellent race and I was not able to pull ahead of him. I congratulate him on his victory. It was a difficult competition and the second place is a great result, particularly in regard to the overall World Cup result. The course with many technically difficult stretches was extremely challenging, which made the Marmotta Trophy one of the best World Cup races of this season," said Kilian Jornet after crossing the finish line.

Greek Spiced Spareribs Slow Cooker Recipe
Who's ready for some ribs? Although it's the middle of May, which usually is the beginning of outdoor grilling time, our weather has been so chilly, that I'm perfectly happy staying inside to slow cook my ribs.
Actually, if it was super hot outside, I'd still want to be inside slow cooking my ribs. Ribs just taste better when slow cooked.
I LOVE THESE RIBS! The meat falls right off the bone, and while there are a lot of listed ingredients--it comes together very quickly. This spice combination is fantastic; it'd make an old leather shoe taste good.
The Ingredients.
serves 4-6 or 2 hungry moms
4 pounds pork spareribs (you can use beef, too)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon anise
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns (leave intact)
4 whole cloves (leave intact)
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup orange juice
The Directions.
Use a 6-quart slow cooker. Place ribs into cooker. In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar with all of the ground spices. Rub this mixture the best you can on all sides of the ribs. Throw in the whole peppercorns and cloves. Drizzle on the honey, and add orange juice.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until meat is super tender and separates from the bone.
The Verdict.
Wonderful. I shared these ribs with my friend Georgia( who happens to be Greek), and we stood in my kitchen the day after I made them and ate the leftovers cold with the refrigerator door wide open. I was planning to reheat them, but she wanted just a nibble, and before we realized what happened we scarfed down 3 ribs each while waiting for the coffee to percolate.
I'm glad the kids were busy watching The Backyardigans so we didn't have to share!

This has nothing to do with this recipe, but I made the Chicken Cordon Bleu out of your book yesterday. OMG, it was wonderful! Usually I'm lazy and use canned soup, but this time I made the roux and I'm so glad I did.

Super delicious! These would be awesome, can't wait to try them, thanks!

Ditto what Debbi said. I'm always stopping by for ideas. Those ribs sound great! Do you think it'd be okay if i used pepper instead of peppercorns seeing as I have none?

How did you know!?!? I was coming here to see if you had a sparerib recipe, since I have a big slap in the fridge right now and I wasn't sure what to do with it. You rock :)

I think ribs are better in the crock pot too! Grilling is good too, but this is easier and tastier!
- May 18, 2010 at 9:33 AM
- Steph said...
This sounds really good, but every time i've tried to make ribs in the crockpot, they swim in the fat and just aren't that appetizing. Are these ones swim in fat or do they come out like normal ribs should? Or maybe I'm just not very good at making ribs
- May 18, 2010 at 9:39 AM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
hi Toni, sure. Maybe start with 1/2 teaspoon, then add more to taste if needed?
hi Steph, hmm. I'd pick out pretty lean ribs if you can find them. I don't notice a large amount of fat in the bottom of the crock, or on the meat when I prepare ribs in the slow cooker.
- May 18, 2010 at 11:50 AM
Hi Steph - I've been enjoying your recipes on the blog and in the book - thanks for taking time to enlighten us! I have been looking for a recipe to make 'southern style' ribs and think this would be great, just wondering how to adjust the seasoning so they taste more southern and less greek - any suggestions?

- May 18, 2010 at 4:46 PM
I've been hesitant to do ribs in the slow cooker because I have visions of them soaking in the melted fat the entire time. They seemed well-browned in the picture, though. Did you need to drain them at some point, or did you use very lean ribs? Thanks.

I love ribs done in the slow cooker, but I usually stick them on the grill or under the broiler for a few minutes to give them that nice crispness at the end. It's an extra step but really worth it.

The "eating cold while refrigerator door open" sounds like the ultimate recommendation to me! ;-) Total yum. Son loves ribs ... need to make these for him for sure. Maybe as an apartment warming gift since he's moving and I'll be visiting. :-)

This was very tasty! I used 2 lbs of boneless pork stew meat and it worked perfectly. I think you could easily use 3 lbs of boneless meat and it would work as well. I served it with a brown rice pilaf spiced with cinnamon, allspice, and garam masala. Very good complement to the spices in the meat. And my 4 and 7 year olds ate it all up! Thanks for a great recipe to make when it's 90 degrees outside....

Hi! I discovered your blog recently, and wanted to say you have some interesting recipes!
I tried the pork ribs, although I substituted Chinese 5 spice for the majority of the spices, and it came out delicious!
Regarding the fat on the ribs, I cut away as much as possible, but next tme I may try another cut of meat, or perhaps chicken. What I liked the most was the taste, the combination of spices and sugar was wonderful. (I used pineapple juice instead of the orange juice, and omitted the fennel seed because I didn't have any.)
For the 1 kg of ribs, and the high altitude at where I live, the ribs were done in 2 1/2 hrs on high.
Thanks for sharing!

- bostonred said...
I'm planning to try these tomorrow - and I'm pleased to see someone else thought of 5-spice powder. I had all the other spices except for the anise- and a small jar was really expensive for something I probably wouldn't use very often. I decided I'd use the 5-spice in the anise's place. I'm also planning to try a yummy looking Maple Bourbon Baked Bean recipe from the latest Cooking Light, but I haven't decided if I'll try that in the crockpot too.

Fixed the ribs while camping this past weekend and everyone thought they were great! No body noticed I used a brown sugar substitute. These will be a regular in our house.
- June 4, 2010 at 9:09 PM
love the website but the pic is freaky.. it looks like a big prehistoric evil fish with a slab of ribs in its mouth.. Do you see it? made me look twice
- June 8, 2010 at 9:44 PM
Making this today with a couple of substitutions as I didn't have them on hand. Instead of anise I used more fennel seed, instead of cloves I used allspice, and instead of orange juice I used lime juice. Can't wait to taste it.

Having never made ribs in my life I decided to give these a try. WOW, I am so happy I did!! They were so flavorful, and really quite easy! My husband and I sat at the table and huddled over them until only bones remained. THANK YOU for this recipe! It will be made time and again!
- September 6, 2010 at 11:17 AM
My wife made these a few nights ago and I just couldnt believe how delicious they were! One of our family's new favorites! Thanks for the awesome work
- October 10, 2010 at 11:03 AM
We have had ribs in the fridge now for almost a week and have been wanting to cook them up but every time we use the BBQ they come out dry. We decided on braising them first and then BBQ but in the process of looking up recipes I came across your site (which I knew about but didn't think about using a crock pot for ribs). They have been in there on low all day and the smells are making me so hungry! YUMM! Only thing is there's a lot of liquid in the bottom of the pan. Can't be sure yet if it's fat or juice but the ribs appear to be juicy enough. I turned it down to keep warm so maybe some of it will soak back into the meat. I can't wait to try them out tonight!!! Thanks for all your ideas. :-)
- October 20, 2010 at 5:50 PM
I made these for my family on Monday after mistakenly defrosting ribs from the freezer, rather than the roast I had planned. Since it was to be a crock pot day, I googled and found this wonderful slow cooker delight! The flavor was rich and sweet (I was short some spices, anise, corriander, cloves) and I imagine it will be more delightful after I properly stock my spice cabinet and try again. Absolutely a winner, thanks for sharing!

These are superb ribs! I used agave instead of honey as I was out, and added about a teaspoon of Greek oregano. I also didn't have anise on hand so I upped the fennel a bit.
For those who worry about the ribs swimming in fat I have a good tip that works for me every time. Stand the ribs up on their sides, leaning them up against the sides of the crock pot. I also used a fresh orange for the juice, so I just put the halves cut side up in the centre of the pot to keep them from tipping over. After its done cooking all the fat is in the bottom, the ribs are tender and barely any fat is left! I like to squeeze out some of the remaining orange juice over them when they are finished cooking too. A real winner of a recipe!

I've made this a few times as ribs but just finally got an idea to do it as a roast - so good! Same delicious flavors but more meat and no bones. I did a 2 lb roast and the same amount of materials you listed above and it worked perfectly.

These are so yummy!!!! Although, In a rush I just mixed all the ingredients instead of rubbing the pork with the powder stuff. And I slow cooked in the oven at 160 for 2 hours. It was so good!!

I also just did this as a roast (pork shoulder) the other day. I strained the remaining liquid and added a bit of beef stock to make a super flavorful gravy. I can't recommend this recipe enough, its my favorite way to season pork!

These are the sort of posts that no blogger wants to write. Frequent commenter and blogger Harry (also known as ExAFCrewDog) passed away recently. I've been emailing him for months, giving him tips on blogging for his new blog. I'm no expert, but there are certain things I've learned that seem to attract readers and I sent them Harry's way. He called me a "maniac" for setting him up on a link or two and I always smiled at his comments.
Pax at Marion's Meepings found the below obituary and I am thankful of her efforts. Harry Leem was a great guy and my blog-friend. He also was a family man and a veteran:
Harry was born on January 25, 1938 to Harry and Ouida Hamberlin Leem in Memphis, Tennessee. He attended Messick High School in Memphis, and was in Navy ROTC program. In 1956, at the age of 18, he joined the Air Force, and thereafter served in the Tennessee Air National Guard.
He married Shirley Houtz of Marysville, Kansas on June 7, 1958 in Topeka. The couple celebrated 54 years of marriage together.
Harry was employed by the Revlon Corporation prior to opening his own business, Printing Etc., in Seneca. He served as Executive Director of the Seneca Chamber of Commerce for six years.
He was a member of the American Legion and enjoyed playing golf at Spring Creek Golf Course in Seneca. The pursuit of knowledge was Harry's primary goal in life.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
Survivors include his wife Shirley of the home; his children, Kent Leem of Houston, Texas, Kelly and husband Jerry Siler of Sugar Land, Texas and Kristine and husband Richard Sarsons of Alberta, Canada; a brother George Leem of Memphis, Tennessee; and three grandchildren.
Funeral service for Harry will be 2 PM Wednesday, October 31, at Lauer Funeral Home in Seneca. Full military honors will be provided by the Seneca Memorial Post #7458 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Earl W. Taylor Post #21.
Memorials may be given in Harry's memory for the Seneca American Legion.
God bless you Harry. Travel well, my friend. . .

The Partners in Business program has been getting bigger and better every year. In fact, since 2009 when each conference began to be advised by members of the related department of the Huntsman School, attendance has increased at every conference.
This nonprofit organization sponsored by the Huntsman School of Business offers five major conferences each year, featuring experts from across the nation. These experts speak on campus to business practitioners and students, and they also interact with the business students who staff the program, under the direction of associate director Jamie Andrus and executive dean of the Huntsman School Ken Snyder.
The conferences include:
Jon Huntsman, Jr. has said of the program, "Partners in Business is one of the country's premier forums for promoting and analyzing best practices and cutting-edge thinking in business."
Recent speakers have included professionals such as Cynthia Cooper, the WorldCom whistleblower, who described the "less well known" pain that is often visited back on the whistleblower. At the time of her going public, she was heavily criticized for "endangering" her community's largest employer, and recalled her low point, lying in bed while her father read her the 20th Psalm over and over.
Thomas Bittman, vice president of Gartner Research, has led the industry in his grasp and explication of the potential of cloud computing, private cloud computing, and virtualization. He invented the term "real-time infrastructure," an operational approach that has been widely adopted in industry.
The beginning of Partners in Business goes back to 1970, when Dr. Vern Buehler started a banking seminar with support from the Utah Bankers Association. In the 1980s, seminars were added on world trade, human resource management, and management information systems. The program was named "Partners in Business" in May 1976, when it held its first productivity seminar. Over the years, such luminaries as the following have spoken at the conferences: Milton Friedman, Peter Drucker, Alan Greenspan, W. Edwards Deming, Shigeo Shingo, and Malcolm Forbes.
Today the program gives businesspeople in the mountain west access to the latest operational "best practices," straight from the executives at the forefront of each field.

From 893 to 1066 C.E., the European population lived in fear of vicious raiders from the frozen North. They'd attack without warning, loot monasteries and villages, and slaughter anyone who got in their way. But if you thought that Viking history is all about violence and plunder, think again. In the BrainPOP movie on Vikings, Tim and Moby explain that these Scandinavian warriors were actually quite civilized, with an advanced legal code, brilliantly-engineered ships, and an unusual respect for women's rights. You'll hear how they established settlements and colonies from Italy to Ireland. You'll learn how they arrived in North America more than 500 years before Columbus. And you'll find out how they were able to conduct their business with such terrifying efficiency. The Vikings aren't just a football team, so for Odin's sake, click on this movie and learn!

HP Pavilion x2 ( 2015)
Easily the best-looking Atom-powered hybrid in its price range, the HP Pavilion x2 is still a few tweaks away from being a budget standout.
Acer Switch 10 E ( 32GB SSD, Gray)
Despite extra storage space and a pleasing design, the Acer Switch 10 E suffers from a low-budget feel.
Asus Chromebook Flip
A Chromebook that manages to add hybrid features without driving up the price, the Asus Flip C100 trades speed for long battery life.
Toshiba KIRAbook 13 i7s1 Touch
The Toshiba Kirabook is still a worthwhile high-end Windows alternative to a Retina MacBook Pro, but it could use a little of that Apple secret sauce for its touchpad.
Lenovo Yoga 3 14
With better battery life and performance than the Yoga 3 Pro (not to mention a lower price), the Yoga 3 14 is one of the best hybrid deals around.
Apple MacBook Pro ( 15-inch, 2015)
Current 15-inch MacBook Pro owners won't feel the need to upgrade, but the handful of tweaks included here keep this expensive system at the top of the list for powerful midsize laptops.
Lenovo LaVie Z 360 ( 2.40GHz 1600MHz 4MB)
The Lenovo LaVie Z is an impressive engineering feat, but unless you need the touch screen and 360-degree hinge, stick with the less-expensive, lighter, non-touch model.
Lenovo LaVie Z HZ550
Despite a few design quirks make it feel less than premium, the Lenovo LaVie Z can't be beat for a combination of light weight and processor power.
Apple MacBook Air 2015 ( 13-inch, 128GB)
While still a great all-around useful laptop, the 13-inch MacBook Air is stuck with a lower-res display and a design that's no longer cutting-edge.
Razer Blade ( 2015, QHD+)
Whether it's for gaming, multimedia enjoyment, work or all of the above, the Razer Blade is a fantastic choice if you need high performance but don't want to sacrifice mobility to get it.

UK overseas aid budget to boost Fairtrade
Fairtrade Foundation welcomes DFID White Paper: Eliminating World Poverty
The Fairtrade Foundation welcomes the significant investment in fair and ethical trade announced in a White Paper unveiled by Secretary of State Douglas Alexander in the House of Commons on 6 July 2009. In the White Paper, the Department for International Development (DFID), as part of a rebranded UKaid programme, says it is quadrupling funding to promote fair and ethical trade.
'This welcome investment means that the Fairtrade Foundation will be able to expand our work with the hardest to reach producers in the lowest income countries and in conflict zones, and increase further the range of Fairtrade products,' says Harriet Lamb, Executive Director of the Fairtrade Foundation. 'We are delighted that the UK Government is recognising Fairtrade as a route to help communities build more sustainable livelihoods, and acknowledging how the public's shopping choices can contribute to development. This is a vote of confidence in Fairtrade which will be welcomed by millions of Fairtrade supporters who have campaigned tirelessly for Fairtrade, by farmers and workers, traders and those businesses who have helped put Fairtrade on our shop shelves.'
'In the current economic climate, it's the poorest communities who are hit the hardest, and so positive business models like Fairtrade, which deliver increased development benefits from trade, are more important than ever,' says Harriet.
The White Paper says: 'Fair and ethical trade is a powerful way to boost business standards, to ensure working conditions are decent, producers and workers are paid a fair price for their products and to allow millions of individual consumers in the UK and worldwide to make a daily contribution to development.' The Fairtrade Foundation welcomes this acknowledgement that development is about more than just aid and that the way that we live our lives in the UK must be considered as an integral part of a development strategy.
Through the White Paper, the Government also commits to supporting fair trade through its procurement: 'Last year the Office for Government Commerce published guidance on how government departments can support fair trade through public procurement, consistent with EU procurement directives. This includes making clear in advertisements that fair trade options are welcome and, where the winning tender is able to provide fair trade options, stipulating that they should be provided.'
The Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International, of which the Fairtrade Foundation is the UK member, also welcomes the White Paper as an example of best practice, setting the pace for other donor countries.
"We applaud the fact that the Government is showing such leadership in funding Fairtrade and also encouraging Government departments to support Fairtrade through procurement", says Rob Cameron, Chief Executive of FLO (Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International) of which the Fairtrade Foundation is the UK member. "We hope other international governments, the funding consortium for FLO, examine what the UK Government is doing and follow their lead in recognising that there is an urgent need in these difficult global economic times to speed up the pace of change through Fairtrade."
The Fairtrade Foundation is an independent certification body which licenses the use of the FAIRTRADE Mark on products which meet international Fairtrade standards. This independent consumer label – which first appeared in the UK only in 1994 – is now recognised by 70% of UK consumers and appears on over 4,500 retail and catering products as a guarantee that disadvantaged producers are getting a better deal. Today, over 5 million people – farmers, workers and their families – across 59 developing countries benefit from the international Fairtrade system. Almost 18 million UK households bought Fairtrade goods in 2008.
While the Fairtrade Foundation welcomes other positive trends in the White Paper in particular increased support to agriculture, the organisation will continue to push the Government to ensure that all aspects of the global trade system are fair and supportive of development.

Notes to Editors
- In February 2008, DFID announced a grant of £1.2 million over two years to Fairtrade Labelling International. The Fairtrade Foundation has been able to use some of this government investment to kickstart its ambitious new five-year strategy (Tipping the Balance 2008-2012) which aims to double the UK market for Fairtrade products to £1 billion pounds by 2010 and to £2 billion by 2012. DFID also made a grant of £240,356 in 2006 to help fund the Fairtrade Foundation's Fairtrade Schools Initiative over a three and a half year period.
- Between 1999 and March 2009, DFID provided grants totalling £2.6m to Fairtrade Labelling for a variety of activities, including new product development, awareness raising and promotion of Fairtrade to the out of home sector.

They're baack! After two decades, the UN's eco-globalist faction has returned to Rio de Janeiro to put the "plan" back in "planet." The so-called Rio+20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development is an attempt to recreate the giddy grandeur of the first Rio extraordinaire conference, held back in 1992 under the auspices of one worlder and New Age devotee Maurice Strong. That august event produced Agenda 21, an ambitious blueprint for international environmental planning during the 21st century, all to be carried out within the framework of the UN system and paid for in the coin of national independence. Now that we're more than a decade into the new century, the globocrats have convened anew in order to fine-tune their agenda.
To be sure, the global environmental agenda has moved down a bit on the priority list in the wake of 9/11 and the still-unfolding world economic collapse. But its perfervid proponents haven't gone away, and have lost none of their ardor. The planet, they never tire of informing us, is a fragile, vulnerable place, where the cancer-like growth of the human race has far outstripped our world's available resources. They also warn that as a result of our unchecked human activity, temperatures are rising alarmingly, threatening polar bears and countless thousands of other species that are in imminent danger of extinction in the biggest global die-off since the Permian-Triassic. It turns out that the only surefire remedy for this catastrophe a-borning is the creation of a global environmental regime tasked with bringing the destructive, consumerist impulses of humanity and their various governments under control, a move that will usher in a new epoch of sustainable growth and happy, vibrant ecosystems.
