Silvia Ligia
reviewed by: ANTHONY COYNE
Greetings, I originally rented a Franz Hoffmann Prelude Cello and later a Franz Hoffmann Prelude Violin from sharmusic.com. However, the violin did not pan out due to physical limitations. My passion for the cello increased, and I continue learning, studying, and absorbing everything cello related. After a while I began to think about upgrading from the Prelude, and started shopping for a new cello with a warmer deeper tone. I researched and read testimonials. Then I ordered the Bianca. This instrument exceeded my expectations in its beautiful appearance and tone, and I couldn't happier with this cello. The staff at Shar sent the cello in a great hardshell case. "Silvia Ligia" as I have affectionately named her, means "From the Woods, a Beautiful Voice." Silvia, has a rich, deep, vibrant, and beautiful tone. I'm very happy with my new cello, and completely satisfied with my experience with SharMusic. Thank you. Anthony Coyne (A.R.Coyne)

Beautiful Cello
reviewed by: Teacher, Anonymous
This cello is beautiful and sounds amazing for its price range! Thank you Shar! I only have two complaints: 1, the bridge is fitted well but is of a poor quality and won't last long before it begins warping, it is also a little high for a beginner. 2 the feel of the neck doesn't match the sound of the cello the neck is fat and a little bulky for a student's hand to get around. Much better than the local rental cellos we could find out here.

Easily worth the price
reviewed by: Anonymous
Shopped a number of different cellos before buying this one. I should comment that although this is a beginners cello I am not completely naive as to what makes a decent instrument being an (amateur) violin player myself, my husband is an (amateur) violin player, and we already have one cello player in the family, so have some background on which to judge this instrument. I think the quality of this cello is incredible for the price. It looks in person better than the photos, plays as well as the eastman vc100 we also have which cost 3 times the price and the eastman is well broken in. I have also bought hoffman violins in the past and found them great intro instruments which lasted and improved and as most well-made instruments improve with time, the hoffman may in the end exceed the eastman in quality. Without doubt will get anyone playing on a decent instrument and will carry you through several years of playing before considering upgrading.

A worthy cello for any student
reviewed by: NICHOLAS RIVITUSO
I purchased this cello after searching for over 4 months for the right one. I found out about Shar googling for cellos and it was the greatest site I could have come across. This cello is perfect for my needs and my teacher was extremely impressed with the quality of the instrument and the quality of sound that it produces. This has been one of the smartest purchases I have ever made. I have called Shar asking numerous questions, being that I am a first time string player. Every time I have called I have spoken with an actual string player, not a sales rep! Not only were they helpful every time, but they were patient with me and helped me with every question. One person even helped guide me through tuning my instrument! The level of dedication and service by the staff and the quality of the instrument are enough to make me a Shar customer for life. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a student cello. Also, I was told to expect 5-10 business days for shipping when I purchased this cello. I live out of state but received my cello the very next day! Just another reason to be impressed with this awesome company and service.

I am thrilled with my Student cello. I waited and waited to get get a barely-played trade-in cello to save a little money. I wish I had just bought a new one months ago - I'd already be playing! It came perfectly packed, in a timely manner, and only needed tuning up out of the box and I was up and playing. Shar is the best.

I am in love with my cello!
reviewed by: Anonymous
I have been using my Karl Joseph Schneider Master Art Cello for several months now, and I could not be more happy. I decided I needed a new cello because I was tired of renting, and I was having trouble finding one locally, so I decided to give Shar's in-home trial a try, and I'm happy to say it worked out. My cello absolutely sings (when it's played properly), and it is a huge step up from the old rental instruments I was used to. Wolf tones are very few and far between, and the A string is so much more well behaved than I am used to. It is a playable, serviceable instrument, that I hope to own and play for years to come. And if I ever feel like upgrading, I can always trade it in to Shar for 100% of it's value! Awesome deal. Lastly, the aesthetics of the instrument are beautiful. It is extremely well crafted, and the finish is gorgeous. It's not a "spray tan" red-orangey finish,but a very tasteful, natural looking finish that brings out the natural grain of the wood very nicely. It does have a plastic tailpiece, which is a little disappointing, considering the price, but it doesn't affect the sound at all, it just would have been a nice touch to include a real wooden tailpiece. This is just a minor complaint that I have, it's certainly not a deal-breaker. If I ever desire a wooden tailpiece, I'm sure Shar would be able to fix me up with a nice one. Overall, I am very pleased with the quality of service and product I've received from Shar, and the Schneider Master Art Cello is an absolute beauty that I'm sure will be my musical companion for years to come. I would also like to thank Mike from the Shar Violin Shop, as he was very helpful and accommodating. Shar is the best!

It's nicely made and it was fairly easy to set up. Four stars because the sensor got filmed over and stopped working within a week. It was easy to clean by wiping it off and then it worked fine again. The film was my fault, since I hadn't gotten the dosing dialed in the new tank, and I caused precipation by adding Ca and alk solutions to the sump. But even so, it means that the unit is not maintenance free so I will have to get my tank sitters to check the water level and will have to explain how to clean the sensor if needed. Kind of a bummer, since ease of fish-sitting was one main reason for buying this unit. nothing but problems By Greg on 1/17/2014 Greg wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I switched from a JBL after the hrs video, and although the pump on the unit is quiet, and moves a lot of volume, I have had nothing but problems maintaining my aquarium salinity. The Tunze will constantly over fill the tank, and the alarm will go off. If I wasn't hooked up to an apex controller, It would of destroyed the tank. I've tried all the jumper settings, and nothing seems to make a difference. I've been fighting this for 6 weeks now, I'll be switching back this weekend. Pump is the weak link By Marc on 1/17/2014 Marc wouldn't recommend this product to a friend It's a shame, but the pump they use for this system is cheap trash. I'm on my third replacement is only seven months. Never Fails By Scott on 1/9/2014 Scott would recommend this product to a friend After seeing a video of Ryan talking about it, I purchased one and would not use anything else at this point. My water level changes very little before this thing kicks on giving ultra stability in my SG. Had mine for a year and have had absolutely no issues with it. The pump is always submerged in kalk and hasnt failed yet. I have a spare on hand just in case though. There is a breakin Period By Jared on 1/6/2014 Jared would recommend this product to a friend At first I thought I had a issue. I have come to find out that all Tunze ATO units with the optical sensor need a "break in" so the bubbles won't interfere with the level reading. I soaked the optical sensor in vinegar for 5 hours, cleaned off, and mounted. I havent had a level sensing issue since. I am currently using this with Kalk to top off my 65 Gallon system. love it By trent on 12/28/2013 trent would recommend this product to a friend no more carrying buckets through the house. easy to install. keeps my refugium at the same level day and night. keeps salinity steady. the electronic eye is the best part. nothing to get stuck. great product. Do not hesitate... just get this! By Easiest install ever on 12/18/2013 Easiest install ever would recommend this product to a friend I used to have to fill about 2-3 gallons per day into my 120 gallon system, now I just keep my reservoir filled up, topping it off about once every week or two. This is well worth the price. No idea what the other reviewer was saying about a break-in period. Worked instantly, and has been working fine ever since. Has a break in period By Michael on 12/16/2013 Michael would recommend this product to a friend Easy installation. However, it overfilled and the alarm went off. I have read it has a break-in period so I hope this to be the case. I even washed the sensor before install. Great Product By Dustin on 12/12/2013 Dustin would recommend this product to a friend This top off was very easy to install and has been working flawlessly. Marine Hobbyist Must Own!!! By BuckeyeFrags26 on 12/11/2013 BuckeyeFrags26 would recommend this product to a friend I currently have one on each one of my tanks. One heck of a product, nothing else to be said about it. The company name says all you need to know when it comes to quality equipment. By far the best NO Instructions needed system. But if it's your first one you own, atleast read the instructions, it does have informative information you do need to know. A++++++++++++++++++ PRODUCT Better than my old JBJ ATO By ToledoNate on 12/10/2013 ToledoNate would recommend this product to a friend I used the JBJ ATO for the first year of my tank. I have a 2.5 gallon jug for my ATO and I would find the whole jug emptied and the water level in my sump far higher than my float line. My protein skimmer needs to be in a constant depth of water and would over flow when the ATO failed in the off position. My new Tunze Osmolator is great. It keeps a perfect level in my sump and my protein skimmer has never worked better. I especially like the Tunze because it pumps a fairly consistent amount of water every time it turns on, allowing me to more accurately dose Kalk in with the ATO. Great Product. Oops forgot to read instructions! By BigMo on 12/7/2013 BigMo would recommend this product to a friend Never needed instructions! Works with in 30 seconds after plugging in. 1 minor level adjustment and topped off right to the full line. Checked the alarm by sliding float up and loud and clear. One of the coolest toys for my 55 gal I've invested in. No more gallon jugs filling up the sump for me!!!!

Flight Behaviorby Barbara Kingsolver
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Flight Behavior transfixes from its opening scene, when a young woman's narrow experience of life is thrown wide with the force of a raging fire. In the lyrical language of her native Appalachia, Barbara Kingsolver bares the rich, tarnished humanity of her novel's inhabitants and unearths the modern complexities of rural existence. Characters and reader alike are quickly carried beyond familiar territory here, into the unsettled ground of science, faith, and everyday truces between reason and conviction.
Dellarobia Turnbow is a restless farm wife who gave up her own plans when she accidentally became pregnant at seventeen. Now, after a decade of domestic disharmony on a failing farm, she has settled for permanent disappointment but seeks momentary escape through an obsessive flirtation with a younger man. As she hikes up a mountain road behind her house to a secret tryst, she encounters a shocking sight: a silent, forested valley filled with what looks like a lake of fire. She can only understand it as a cautionary miracle, but it sparks a raft of other explanations from scientists, religious leaders, and the media. The bewildering emergency draws rural farmers into unexpected acquaintance with urbane journalists, opportunists, sightseers, and a striking biologist with his own stake in the outcome. As the community lines up to judge the woman and her miracle, Dellarobia confronts her family, her church, her town, and a larger world, in a flight toward truth that could undo all she has ever believed.
Flight Behavior takes on one of the most contentious subjects of our time: climate change. With a deft and versatile empathy Kingsolver dissects the motives that drive denial and belief in a precarious world.
"With her powerful new novel, Kingsolver (The Lacuna) delivers literary fiction that conveys an urgent social message. Set in a rural Tennessee that has endured unseasonal rain, the plot explores the effects of a bizarre biological event on a Bible Belt community. The sight that young wife and mother Dellarobia Turnbow comes upon — millions of monarch butterflies glowing like a 'lake of fire' in a sheep pasture owned by her in-laws — is immediately branded a miracle, and promises a lucrative tourist season for the financially beleaguered Turnbows. But the arrival of a research team led by sexy scientist Ovid Byron reveals the troubling truth behind the butterflies' presence: they've been driven by pollution from their usual Mexican winter grounds and now face extinction due to northern hemisphere temperatures. Equally threatening is the fact that her father-in-law, Bear, has sold the land to loggers. Already restless in her marriage to the passive Cub, for whom she gave up college when she became pregnant at 17, unsophisticated, cigarette-addicted Dellarobia takes a mammoth leap when she starts working with the research team. As her horizons expand, she faces a choice between the status quo and, perhaps, personal fulfillment. Spunky Dellarobia is immensely appealing; the caustic view she holds of her husband, in-laws, and neighbors, the self-deprecating repartee she has with her best friend Dovey, and her views about the tedium of motherhood combined with a loving but clear-eyed appraisal of her own children invest the narrative with authenticity and sparkling humor. Kingsolver also animates and never judges the uneducated, superstitious, religiously devout residents of Feathertown. As Dellarobia flees into a belated coming-of-age, which becomes the ironic outcome of the Monarchs' flight path to possible catastrophe in the collapse of a continental ecosystem, the dramatic saga becomes a clarion call about climate change, too lucid and vivid for even skeptics to ignore. 8-city author tour. One-day laydown. Agent: Frances Goldin, Goldin Literary Agency" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"Drawing on both her Appalachian roots and her background in biology, Kingsolver delivers a passionate novel on the effects of global warming." Booklist, Starred Review
"Enthralling...Dellarobia is appealingly complex as a smart, curious, warmhearted woman desperate to — no resisting the metaphor here — trade her cocoon for wings." Oprah.com
"A dazzling page-turner." Elle

Officers found in the apartment a quantity of prepackaged bags of crack cocaine, cash, a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
A total of 50 bags of crack cocaine with a street value of $5,000 were found.
None of the suspects is a residents of Ogdensburg.
Our investigation leads us to believe that these individuals are members of a drug-trafficking organization known to our agency, Detective C. Daniel Mousaw said in a prepared statement. This organization is based out of the Buffalo area. We continue to track this organization and through a series of arrests of organization members are working to eradicate their presence here in our community.

If you had to choose one word to describe Vers, it would have to be Natural. Natural - as in the quality of sound and the use of real wood, crafted and finished by hand. Natural - as in the selection of sustainable materials and efficient components. Natural, however, doesn't come easy. The hand craftsmanship required to create a Vers system takes time - more than a week to build one cabinet. There are plenty of ways to build a sound system faster, but few better. There's a reason why many musical instruments are still made of wood; nothing sounds as warm, as rich - or as natural.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
One by one, the pieces of lumber were nailed and screwed together. Each section was carefully measured to ensure that the spacing is adequate. The project is important not only to the local firefighters, but also to many people in the community as their hard work will be put on display for all to see.
The float will essentially serve as an exhibit for the hundreds of quilts made by many community members and groups that will all soon be delivered to the University of Utah Burn Center for patients in the burn center. The exact number of quilts to be included within the float will 200 to 220, according to Rita Dunn, with the Price Fire Auxiliary.
While there are still some in the community who have yet to turn in their quilts, Dunn said the quantity of quilts was much more than anticipated. The original amount of quilts to be donated for the Burn Center started at 125. But that number has been left in the dust, as contributions from many individuals and community groups have raised the number to over 250 quilts.
"People have just been so generous with this project," said Diane Carlson, president of the Price Fire Auxiliary. "The float will definitely be one of many colors with all of the quilts."
So generous in fact that the amount of quilts may need to be divided into smaller amounts to be sent to the Burn Center because of the amount of storage space available, according to Dunn. The quilts are expected to be brought up to the Burn Center sometime in July.
While many of the quilts will be featured on the float, one in particular will be displayed prominently. A large quilt that includes an eagle, firefighter emblems, a 9/11 scene and more will be placed at the top of the trailer for everyone to see, Dunn said. The quilt was created by a local woman who, as did many others involved, spent hours putting together the hand-made creations. The special quilt will be raffled off as people can by tickets for a chance to win it. The proceeds from the raffle and other donations that come with it will all go to the Burn Center to help send burn victims to burn camps.
"Every quilt was hand-made and took a lot of time and work to finish them," Dunn explained.
Representatives from more than 30 fire departments around the state will attend the convention, Carlson said. The total amount of people that will be visiting the area for the convention is estimated to be between 450 to 550, she said.
A parade will be held on Main Street starting near the Subway Restaurant and will continue down to Heritage Park starting at 7 p.m., Carlson said. The fire departments have been given the option to join the parade with a truck from their local area. It's one of the more exciting parts of the convention, especially for children, Dunn said.
"The kids just love to see all of the different firetrucks in the parade," she said.
With all of the people from outside of the area making the trek to Price for the convention, the economic benefits could be a boon to many local businesses, according to Delynn Fielding, economic development director with Carbon County. Fielding said that the formula for examining the impact visitors have on the area includes a figure of about $125 per person for each day they are here. That figure includes the cost for a motel room, food and leisure activities during the day.
"This is a significant event and hopefully more and more events like it will take place in Carbon County," Fielding said noting the possible boosts in tax revenues for the city and the county.
Other than the parade, there are many other activities and events that will be taking place through the weekend. A fireworks demonstration will be held at the Carbon County Event Center at 9:30 p.m. To help train and educate firefighters who help with celebrations with fireworks including the fourth of July. There will also be a competition for the firefighters including a fire engine rodeo and a firefighter challenge on Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Carbon County Event Center.
With many fire departments and firefighters from around the state expected to attend the conference, Dunn said she and others with the Price Fire Auxiliary are thankful for the service each man and woman gives in their line of work. Many of the firefighters serve as volunteers for their departments and the Auxiliary wants to make sure the convention is one that everyone will enjoy.
"We're just trying to make this a great convention for everyone and show our appreciation for their service," she said. "Not just for the people who are coming here for the convention, but for our local community as well."

CrockPot Peanut Clusters
Day 356.
11 days to go until 2009. I'm going to cry.
Today is the first day of Hanukkah, and there are only a few days left until Christmas. If you're entertaining for the holidays, or need any last-minute hostess gifts, these peanut clusters rock. And they make A LOT. You could easily feed the entire neighborhood on one batch, or make yourself very, very sick.
I, um, have eaten too many. Much too many. It's Susan and Amie's fault. I had to change Susan's original recipe because I live in one of the few places in the world without a Walmart, and couldn't find Chocolate Bark. Nor did any of our grocery stores know what chocolate bark is/was. So I improvised, and am quite pleased with the results. My waistband, not so much...
The Ingredients.
3 (16-ounce) jars lightly salted roasted peanuts (lightly salted is important!)
2 (4-ounce) boxes German Baker's Chocolate
1 (8-ounce) box Unsweetened Baker's Chocolate (there are 2 in the picture. that was wrong.)
1 (24-ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla (not pictured because I didn't know I wanted/needed it until after the photo)
The Directions.
Use a large crockpot. This makes about 150 peanut clusters. Spray the inside of your crock with cooking spray, and place the unwrapped baking chocolate, and bars of German chocolate in the bottom. Add all the peanuts. Pour in the chocolate chips, and add vanilla. Cover and cook on low for 3 hours, or high for about 1.5. While the chocolate is melting, lay out a bunch of parchment paper on your counter top or kitchen table. When time has elapsed, stir well, and remove from heat. Use a small ice-cream scoop to plop out bite-sized piles onto the parchment paper.
Let cool before eating---this takes a long time---hours. It'd be best to leave them overnight so you don't pick at them. Unless you have much more will power than I do, then I suppose it would be okay. But I sort of hate you.
Package up and give away as soon as possible.
The Verdict.
These are addictive. The chocolate flavor is quite rich, and tastes dark. If you aren't a fan of dark chocolate, use milk chocolate chips. The salt flavor from the nuts is subtle, but is there, and it makes your tongue itch for more.
and more.
I was thinking about nut-allergies during the night. I think you should turn these into pretzel clusters. Definitely.

I've only been following you for a few months now - but you have saved dinner a few times for my family! Please don't go away in 2009!!!
- December 21, 2008 at 10:24 AM
Couple of things...first, another good cluster recipe is 2 bags butterscotch chips, 1 bag semi-sweet chips, and a lg. thing of peanuts. Drop the same way and they rock!!! Also, you can make the same chocolate and put in those crunchy chow mein noodles, or a mix of the noodles and peanuts, and they are SOOOOOO good!

Oh, man, I am SO going to miss this 365 days of crockpot recipes when you finish in a week and a half. I haven't ever commented before, but I've checked every day since late spring or so.
I've had great success with every recipe of yours that I've tried. Thanks so much for doing this!
I can't wait to try this recipe!
- December 21, 2008 at 11:02 AM
- Suzanne said...
Oh no! I thought I was going to get away in the clear due to my nut allergy, until I saw the pretzel version... now I *must* make them!

Yum! Chocolate covered treats without using a double boiler!

Gonna try this one...but cutting it in half as I don't want to share and I will eat all 150...so less to make my self sick on!
- December 21, 2008 at 11:18 AM
- Stephanie said...
I do a similar recipe and they're always a hit. Great for gift-giving and recipe/cookie exchanges. My recipe is: 16 oz. dry roasted peanuts, 16 oz. regular peanuts, 24 oz. semi-sweet chips, 24 oz. white almond bark, 1 German chocolate bar. Place nuts in crockpot, top with chocolates. Turn on low for about 2 -3 hours, then stir up and drop onto wax paper. They are extremely addicting!!

Question - wouldn't pretzels get soggy in the crockpot?
- December 21, 2008 at 11:48 AM
- Multiple Mom T said...
Are you going to cry from joy that you are almost done or from sadness because you will miss posting EVERY SINGLE DAY? I'm betting it's the first.
I applaud you for sticking to it. That's something in this day and age!
I'll miss you! I check in every day!
- December 21, 2008 at 12:00 PM
Tip: if you drop them onto trays or cookie sheets (either lined with wax paper or sprayed with cooking oil) that will fit in your freezer, you can set them much faster in there. That way, you can devour all of them sooner.
- December 21, 2008 at 12:01 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Kath,
when I made the nuts and bolts mix and the pretzels were soggy until they fully cooled, then the rightful crunch returned. I think the chocolate would work the same way. The frito candy was in choc, too, and the fritos/pretzels got their crunch back.
mmm. those were good. I need to make them again!
kath, I think I'm going to be weirded out to not have to come up with a new post everyday! I'm going to miss it, I really am.
- December 21, 2008 at 12:48 PM
- blueraindrop said...
chocolate bark is almond bark... just in a different flavor. ask them for almond bark, and it will be right next to the white one they will take you to.
kroger and most other grocery stores have it... the ones around here even have it over in the special baking section so you don't have to fight down the baking row. usually its near the chocolate chips in a large rectangle chunk with notches to break it apart.
- December 21, 2008 at 12:52 PM
OMG it's almost the end of the year! What am I going to do without a crockpot post everyday!?! I have to say it has been a great year since I discovered your blog. I hope you still have plenty of recipes to try with the new year. Thanks!
- December 21, 2008 at 1:25 PM
- Mmmmaaahvelous said...
Okay, I haven't tried these yet but abolutely will!!
And can I just say, that this is one of your funniest posts. Thanks for the laughs! I love that too!
Merry Christmas Lady Crockpot!
PS: Are you going to keep daily crockpotting in 2009 or is there a new venture coming?
- December 21, 2008 at 1:28 PM
- Girl Fisher said...
My mom makes peanut clusters every year around Christmas! We are making them on Christmas Eve this year. She uses white almond bark and adds chocolate chips to make it chocolaty. Yum! I can't wait!
- December 21, 2008 at 1:35 PM
- Gina said...
Another great addition (or substitution if you have allergies) is chow mein noodles. They add great texture and crunch!
- December 21, 2008 at 2:10 PM
I keep coming back to your blog; LOVING it and my CP which I picked up second hand 2 weeks ago and had been hunting for for ages. Just sent a link to an American friend who also has a CP and will get all your references to the shops I don't know (being that I am a Brit). Biggest hit for me so far; Lancashire hot pot, based it on the Hairy Bakers recipe but substituted boudin noir for blood sausage since I live in France... their blog is fun too: http://www.hairybikers.com/hairybikers_exclusive_recipe_hotpot.html My husband ate his and the kids' platefuls, he said it was the best ever. A big thank you for your humour and all the great ideas; an inspiration! A bit sad though that I found you so late on in your year and soon you'll stop. Merry Christmas!

Oh my biggest regret of 2008 will be that I only discovered your blog on...December 20th of this year. So much fun, and I too love my slow cooker. Can't decide which one to try first.
- December 21, 2008 at 3:08 PM
- Maggs said...
Oh man, we used to make those as kids. But I think we also put chow mein noodles in them. But I'm going to make some for my final christmas party tomorrow night.

This sounds delish. I will try it ASAP.
I make one with 1 part peanut butter and 2 parts butterscotch chips. I have used it with Chex cereal, chow mein noodles, and with pretzels. Mmmm.
Are your recipes still going to be available online in 2009, or do I need to get going with my printer? We will miss your daily posts!
Merry Christmas!
- December 21, 2008 at 3:26 PM
hahahaha! Your post on this recipe is hil-AR-ious!!! And your friend's video is equally funny! We will all miss you, that's for sure...if I'm having a bad day, I find your website very uplifting...cheers me up right away...and plus which, your recipes are very very good! Thanks, thank, thanks!

in lieu of chocolate bark or baking chocolate, use the candy making discs from your local craft store like the Wilton ones. My recipe is equal parts milk and dark discs. only I melt the chocolate first( 2 bags at a time) and then add the nuts..and I also add mini marshmallows and raisins. just cuz I can. If the chocolate starts to get thick and clumpy just stir in a cap full of vegetable oil.
I have been using my crock pot to make chocolate candy for years( ask me about my cherries that can only be consumed by adults of legal drinking age)
I have been reading your blog all year and every recipe of yours I have tried has been great..some I have made numerous times.

Please do not be frustrated with me if you have answered this a dozen times (or more), but is there going to be a cookbook? I really do not want to lose all these recipes. I haven't had time to try them all yet!
Thanks for following through on your resolution. So many people have enjoyed the year with you. It feels like you are a friend, and I know I am not the only one who wants to see where 2009 takes you. (Can we go along?)
Happy Holidays!

This looks yummy and too easy.
I was going to share with you a different (at least for me) way I used by crockpot.
I wanted to make chocolate dipped pretzel rods. I put a little bit of water in the bottom of the crockpot and then put the chocolate bark in a coffee mug. I placed the coffee mug in the crockpot and outfitted it with an aluminum cover (so the condensation wouldn't get in the chocolate). I then turned it on high and let it melt. The coffee cup was the perfect size to dip the pretzel rods in and as I ran low on chocolate I just added a few more pieces of chocolate bark, set it back in the crockpot and waited.
I also used some very pretty $1 tins from the Dollar Tree and gave these as gifts to my daughters teachers.
They were super easy, inexpensive and even my 2 year old could help dip the pretzel rods in the chocolate.
You have given me a new appreciation for my crockpot.

I wanted to ask you if you use crock pot liners? I love using my crock pot but I have the hardest time keeping it clean! Is there a specific spray you would recommend or another tip/hint you could recommend to help me clean it easier? Thanks!
- December 21, 2008 at 7:15 PM
I just discovered this blog and it is fabulous! My crock is my best friend after a long day of work because I'd rather spend my evening running after my child than cooking. I can't wait to try all these recipes! One question - do you brown the meat in your recipes before you put it in the crock pot? I didn't see it mentioned, but I thought maybe it was assumed.
Thanks! Are you going to continue this through 2009? Are you recipes still going to be available after 2008 is up?
- December 21, 2008 at 8:00 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Beverly, the blog won't go away after the new year, I promise.
Heather, I haven't used those liners; but I've heard wonderful things about them. My husband is my clean-up crew, and he usually soaks the crock for a few hours in hot water and dish soap, then washes either by hand or in the dishwasher.
Nicole, I'm not a fan of browning. There have been a few times I've done it (like the first time I did ribs this year, and the pomegranate beef), but I always regret cooking before cooking; I feel it defeats the joy of crockpotting.
- December 21, 2008 at 8:14 PM
I have been a lurker for several months now. Add me to the list of people who are already hating seeing the year of crockpotting end. Question- after the new year will this site still be available, or should I hurry and copy all of the recipes that look good that I haven't done yet before the end of the year?
- December 21, 2008 at 9:07 PM
- Kristi said...
I wouldn't use the chocolate bark regardless - it's just oily nasty stuff that doesn't even taste like chocolate IMO.
These sound so easy! I think I'll make them for NYE.
- December 21, 2008 at 9:20 PM
- Azúcar said...
I'm with Kristi--you're lucky you didn't find the chocolate bark; it's disgusting stuff. Bark doesn't taste like chocolate, it tastes like wax flavored chocolate product. Yech.
It's best to do what you did: chocolate chips have more than enough stabilizers to be able to make these without tempering chocolate.
Carry on.

- Billie Jean said...
These are the BOMB! My recipe is slightly different:
2 jars lightly salted cocktail peanuts, 2 pkg Almond Bark(look in your produce section or ask someone there), 1 pkg semi sweet choc chips and 1 Hershey bar. Another tip ---- I lay out all the cookie sheets/pans I have, scoop them all out then put them outside on the porch for about 15 minutes and they're cool. Today is the day I'm making them since it's 22 outside this morning! LOL

- Micki said...
You rock. Nuff said. :)
Now, unfortunately, I am one of those people who needs help with every detail of a recipe, so... If I do pretzels instead of nuts, how much? Would one of those pounder bags be too much? (I am going to use a 6 qt cooker)
- December 22, 2008 at 6:32 AM
- Amie said...
I think I'm gonna make them again, cuz I have neighbors who gave me treats this year who I didn't think we were very close to but evidently close enough to exchange sweet treats with for the first time ever and anyway I only got one and my husband got none and well, that's just not right.
Thanks for the vid link. =)

I actually would like to use the chocolate bark, because I have a package sitting in the cupboard. But I can't seem to find the recipe on Susan's website. Do you substitute it for all the chocolate? Or just some of the chocolate?

I have a question about the German's chocolate.
you have it listed as 2 8oz. packages - my store only sold it in 4oz (all other varieties were in 8oz) so I used 4 packages...but then it seemed like a LOT of chocolate. Was yours 8oz or 4?
- December 22, 2008 at 3:08 PM

Carolyn you are RIGHT----the box is 4 ounces!
oh no!
can you dig it out?

One warning to anyone about to try this: I have one of those new/runs hot crockpots and mine burned the chocolate and peanuts on the bottom, even after only 2 hours on low---very sad! The top wasn't even fully melted yet. So do break the no-peeking crockpot rule with this one if yours runs hot.
I am not daunted though and am trying again with the pretzels tomorrow!
- December 22, 2008 at 11:25 PM
- Rachel said...
These are cooling on my counter now, I am half tempted to stick them in the freezer overnight... my husband will be up before I am, and I'm not sure how many will be left if I don't hide them.
LOL. I need to hide them from ME as welll... omg, soooooooo good. I can't wait to try the finished product. It was super easy...
my only complaint was it cost almost $40 to make... although, I, like Carolyn, bought 4 4ounce packages of the German chocolate... luckily I reread the recipe before making them, and you'd altered the instructions by then... maybe going to walmart would have been cheaper, baking ingredients and such are super expensive right now.
- December 22, 2008 at 11:26 PM
- Carolyn said...
Ooops...I just made it extra chocolatey I guess, as I used FOUR boxes of 4 oz, in addition to the other chocolate. Holy moly.
But, I also didn't read my package of nuts correctly, so only had 2 1/4 lbs of peanuts and improvised and mixed in a lb of almonds.
Oh, and while they were warm, I sprinkled nonpariel sprinkles on top - they look incredibly festive now! Also, if you put them in your basement, they cool very quickly -- that is, for those of us in New England!

I made the pretzel clusters and they turned out great! I used a 4.5 qt pot. One large 60% cacao bar, one bag of Newman's spelt pretzels, one 12 oz bag of chocolate chips, cooked on low for 2 hours, stirred and scooped out in groups of 3-4 pretzels. They stuck together in nice cookie-sized pieces. YUM!!

you saved christmas for me! heehee, i am SO behind this year for some reason so i just did a batch of these for our neighbors. i used 1 8 oz box of unsweetened chocolate and 1 8 oz box of semi-sweet + 24 oz. of white chocolate since that's what was in my cupboards. it turned out GREAT!
one question - do the peanuts have to go in with the chocolate or could you just melt the chocolate and stir in the peanuts at the end? just wondering!
- December 23, 2008 at 1:06 PM
O.M.G. I made these yesterday for my husband and son and they are sooooooo good! Thank you for posting this! They're like big clumps of Mr. Goodbars!
- December 23, 2008 at 2:44 PM
- Carolyn said...
Clearly I am having brain-melt issues - as I went to make a second batch of these tonight, and while I added the correct amount of the semi-sweet, I added twice as much UNsweetened chocolate. I can only imagine how these ones will come out....
Sigh, that's what I get for trying to do this at the end of a long day at work! Here's hoping I didn't blow it....

I made these yesterday during my Christmas cookie marathon. These were by far the easiest to make. Unfortunately, my crockpot runs super hot and the bottom burnt within 1.5 hours on low. :( They tasted burnt and bitter. I will try again. Can I say that I HATE my crockpot???? I love "crockpotting", just not this one that burns everything, and it's supposed to be a nice one too. I'm going to the Goodwill tomorrow :)

- Rosemary said...
You don't have to "sort of hate me ..." :-) But thanks for the warning. I did make them at night - I just stayed up late and ate them! The survivors were fine by morning.
I made these and gave as many as I could bear to part with to most of our friends. One friend has a peanut allergy, so this is the variation I made for her and which I will have to continue to make for my husband - he's hooked!
Instead of the peanuts, I substituted 16 oz of roasted, salted Macadamia nuts. 16 oz roasted salted cashews, and 16 oz fresh raw pecan halves, which I had cut in half crosswise (thereby ending up with quarters). Since I didn't use lightly salted varieties of Macadamias or cashews, there seemed to be plenty of salt even with the unsalted, fresh pecans.
I'm with everybody else - dreading the new year and no more daily posts!!! There's still time to reconsider ... :-)

oh my! I made these Christmas Eve as a gift for my chocolate loving grandma......they were SOOOO yummy! Super easy to make too!

- Marjorie said...
Thanks for the recipe!
DD is allergic to peanuts, so I used a 16 oz bag of Utz pretzel wheels and followed the rest of the recipe. I used less chocolate chips -- one 10 oz bag plus more from another bag until it looked covered. I think my crockpot was around 3 or 4 quarts and it was perfectly filled -- maybe 4/5.
Though my crockpot isn't particularly hot, the idea of burned chocolate was too much to contemplate, so I started checking and stirring after an hour and a half (it's chocolate, no worries about undercooked meat). After 3 hours total, I started putting clusters of 2 pretzels onto a metal pan and popped it into the freezer. When I was done filling a second pan, pan 1 was set and I put the clusters into a container and into the fridge. Since I had to make dinner at that point, I just left the rest of the batch on low in the crockpot. Later, I continued my practice of filling a pan, freezing it, filling another pan, removing pan 1, putting pan 2 into freezer, etc. So easy, and much less tempting than filling my kitchen with cooling chocolate covered pretzels!
Also, my pretzels didn't get soggy at all (I sampled some!), maybe they weren't as crisp, but they were still crunchy. Once they were set, well, they were divine!
thanks again!

Mmmm! I made a small batch of these a few weeks ago and they disappeared so quickly!
Now I am making them for Valentine's Day presents. I'm making milk chocolate peanuts, dark chocolate walnuts, and I'm going to venture over to the coconut side and make haystacks! Thank you so much for this great recipe. :D

- Rhonda Parker said...
Wow ~ I never thought of making these in the crockpot before...
may I share with you my recipe?
Of course, this doesn't make 150, but it could easily be doubled/tripled/quadrupled. :)
I use 1 bag of chocolate chips (I like dark chocolate, so I use semi-sweet), and mix it with a teaspoon of oil; optional: add 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Stir it all together in a microwavable bowl.
Microwave for 1 minute.
Microwave for 30 seconds.
now, here's the fabulous part - you can throw in peanuts, sunflower seeds (really good with white choc chips; but you have to watch the microwave time as it melts differently); pretzels, grapes, anything you want that you could eat chocolate-covered. Then, drop onto the waxed/parchment paper, and let cool.... VERY QUICK and easy.. this is also the same recipe I use to make homemade chocolate-covered strawberries. So delicious... I've even thrown in oats and rice krispie cereal to make it a little healthier

I know I'm late coming to this party, but for those with peanut allergies, these are DELICIOUS with roasted edamame (soybeans). Just sayin...
- September 17, 2010 at 1:13 PM
AMAZING holiday treats. Just made them for the 3rd year in a row.
TIME and SPACE SAVER: I recommend slapping the whole chocolate-peanut blob on parchment paper (as opposed to individual scoops), spreading it out thin, and gently cutting a grid into it with a large knife. Then when it cools, it readily breaks apart into the individual pieces.
Woo hoo!

BUFFALO, N.Y. - When friends and family members of the politically well-connected have been hired at the Erie County Water Authority over the last 16 years, Bob Mendez was right at the center of things.
Mendez, the Authority's long-time executive director, is being forced out of the authority by its three commissioners.
Although the commissioners wouldn't give any specific reasons as to why Mendez is being ousted, a source close to the situation tells 2 On Your Side's Scott Brown that it was because of the politics that permeates the authority.
But it's important to note that often times, Mendez was hiring people who came at the direct recommendation of the Erie County Republican and Democratic party chairman and the Water Authority commissioners themselves.
That's something we asked Republican Commissioner Earl Jann about.
Scott Brown: "The hiring here (at the authority) has been so political over the years, is Bob Mendez taking the fall for those hires that often times come from commissioners or party chairmen?"
Republican Commissioner Earl Jann: "I don't think so, no I don't think that was involved at all."
Under a deal negotiated with the commissioners, Mendez, whose $154,000 a year contract is expiring this week, will stay on for another six months.
That was important to Mendez because it gets him to 30 years in the state retirement system, and it means once he leaves the authority, the 55 year old Mendez can immediately start collecting his state pension without any penalties.
In turn, Mendez gave up an additional six months salary that he would have been entitled to under his contract, as well as free lifetime health care. Instead Mendez will contribute 15% of his health care costs, as other water authority retirees do.
The Authority will now begin the search for a new executive director.
Scott Brown: "How much of a role with the political party chairmen have in this process?"
Republican Commissioner Earl Jann: "As far as I'm concerned none. I'm interested in the ratepayers and getting the best possible person to run the Erie County Water Authority."
But on the very day Jann made those comments, the political hiring continued at the authority.
At its meeting on Tuesday, the authority hired Tim Gallagher as a part-time attorney who will make $100 an hour.
Gallagher is the son of Ray Gallagher, a former state senator and county legislator who has been active for decades in Democratic and Conservative party politics.
Scott Brown: "The hiring here has been so political over the years, is Bob Mendez taking the fall for those hires that often times come from commissioners or party chairmen?"
Republican Commissioner Earl Jann: "I don't think so, no I don't think that was involved at all. I cannot emphasize enough that we are a public utility and we are going to run this place properly and with correct management."
Scott Brown: "Are you saying that it's going to be a change from the way it has been run?"
Republican Commissioner Earl Jann: "I can't speak to the far past, I really don't know but I'm telling you the way it will be."
But the pledge to change the way the Water Authority operates - at the same meeting the commissioners approved a deal to get rid of Mendez, they hired a part-time attorney, Tim Gallagher. Gallagher's father is Ray Gallagher, a former state senator and county legislator who has long been active in Democratic and Conservative party politics.

The parking lot at Watauga High looked like the football team was playing at home. It WAS a home team of a sort--cancer survivors and their teams of supporters, taking turns on the track at the school. It was the first year for the annual event at the new school, but one of a long line of successful fund-raisers for the local effort.

After all of the hard work and time put into advancing to the Utah State High School Rodeo competition in Heber City last week, one Carbon Rodeo Club member is recovering in a hospital after suffering a severe injury during the opening of the rodeo finals.
Kashley Donathan, a Carbon High student and member of the Carbon Rodeo Club, suffered a lacerated liver after coming off her horse during the Pole Bending competition on Wednesday, according to Kashley's grandmother, Kathy Donathan.
Donathan was in the ICU at Utah Valley Medical Center in Provo. Kathy Donathan said her granddaughter was released from the ICU on Saturday but will stay in the hospital in Provo as she continues to recover.
After hearing about the nature of Donathan's injuries, a total of near $12,000 was raised through the work of volunteers and a silent auction held at the rodeo to help with the costs of her injuries.

Musical Theatre (B.F.A.)
Ithaca College's highly competitive BFA in Musical Theatre is an intensive, performance-oriented training program in acting, singing and dancing designed to develop and strengthen the skills, hone the instincts, and foster the passion necessary for a professional career in musical theatre.
A typical semester for a freshman or sophomore musical theatre major includes a weekly private voice lesson; classes in voice and speech, movement, acting, sight-singing, music theory, and keyboard musicianship. Studies continue in theatre history (including American musical theatre history), and ongoing courses in dance (ballet, modern, tap, jazz and musical theatre styles). Like all of our degree programs, accompanying these required courses are classes and production assignments that encourage collaboration with other theatre majors in the department in theatre studies, management, design and technology.
Our mainstage and workshop productions provide important opportunities for synthesizing classwork and establishing a professional work ethic. Ithaca College produces two musicals in most years, and a dance concert in alternating years, in addition to four plays and an opera. BFA Musical Theatre students are eligible to audition beginning in their first semester, and required to audition in every subsequent semester. This provides students with ample audition opportunities and experience in general auditions and callbacks. Ithaca's professional venues regularly audition (and hire) current IC students, giving important early exposure to the professional production process.
As musical theatre majors make progress through their sophomore year, they are evaluated regularly by the theatre and music faculty, both in singing and acting reviews. Students receive clear, specific feedback on their strengths and areas for growth throughout the process. In the junior and senior years, BFA Musical Theatre students take advanced courses in musical theatre technique focused on audition techniques, repertoire and style, as well as dance for the musical stage. Many musical theatre students take advantage of Ithaca College's London Center and spend the spring semester of their junior year studying British drama and culture. In the senior year, opportunities include workshops and master classes that help facilitate the transition to the profession. Most students attend a one-week field studies trip to New York City, connecting with a rich network of IC alumni in the entertainment business. Our alumni are committed to providing an important link to the industry, whether in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles or in theatre centers around the world. The Alumni Resources section of our website conveys the breadth and depth of Ithaca College's presence in the entertainment industry.

Back on April 16th, the West Texas Comanches Special Olympics team hosted its first ever Special Olympic track meet at Comanche Stadium in Stinnett.
Over 400 athletes, coaches and volunteers helped run the track meet and the West Texas Comanche team would like to thank everyone that sponsored the meet.
The team would also like to thank local law officials for their help in the torch run, leading to nothing but great words being said about the local meet with every visiting team being very impressed.
With nearly 30 players being replaced due to graduation, the Borger Bulldog football team will be one that will have several new faces at the varsity level when it opens the 2011 season with the Canyon Randall Raiders at Bulldog Stadium on August 26.
However, the team will return several outstanding players from this year's squad, with a couple already attracting the attention of some colleges around the country.
During the May FPC Board of Regents meeting, FPC President Dr. Jud Hicks told the board that the college has decided to suspend the Plainsmen Golf program starting this fall.
This spring, the FPC Golf program was placed on probation by the NJCAA for exceeding the number of scholarships provided to non-U.S. resident students and number of athletes being provided with financial aid.
In talking with Dr. Hicks on Tuesday morning, the college had learned back in December that the golf program had exceeded both numbers, leading the college to turn themselves into the NJCAA.
E. W. "Runt" Vassar, 81, died Wednesday, May 25, 2011, in Amarillo.
Services will be at 2 p.m. Saturday at Grace Fellowship Church with George Young, son-in-law and Rev. Tim Hall, assistant pastor, officiating. Interment will be in "The Garden of Beatitudes" at Westlawn Memorial Park under the direction of Minton/Chatwell Funeral Directors of Borger.
Mr. Vassar was born on June 9, 1929. He married Elba Simpson on July 28, 1951, in Cushing, Okla. He served in the U.S. Army during the Korean Conflict and was a supervisor at Phillips Refinery.
With the windy weather and the threat of wildfire a constant in this region of Texas, local firefighters have been working hard to be sure this threat doesn't reach Borger.
The City of Borger has been using Firewise principles as a means of keeping its citizens safe from the threat of wildfire. Such principles have been the use of native plants for landscaping and the thinning of vegetation, which have made a significant difference in its ability to fight wildfires.
Even though the Lake Meredith Marina closed to the public during the first part of the year, apparently a large group of birds didn't receive the memo and are using the area as their current home.
According to Arlene Wimer, Chief of Resource Management of Lake Meredith National Recreation Area and Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument, a large number of swallows are nesting on the two-story structure at the marina.
The Borger Elks Lodge will be holding Memorial Day services for all branches of military services on May 30, 2011. Stops will be at Westlawn Cemetery at 9 a.m., Highland Park Cemetery at 10 a.m., Stinnett Cemetery at 11 a.m., and Lieb Cemetery at 12 p.m. The services will consist of a bagpipe player playing "TAPS" and "Amazing Grace" while someone sings at each stop.

Over recent years, assessments at the state, national and international levels have been developed to gauge student achievement in the core subjects. The results of these assessments have revealed where students are achieving proficiency and where much work remains to be done. These test results also have brought about significant controversy, as they often expose differential levels of assessment performance between boys and girls, between urban/suburban/rural students, and particularly among various ethnic or racial groups. Researchers have tracked these achievement gaps over the decades and have proposed various causes for them, as well as potential solutions.
For further information on student assessment systems at the state and national levels, please visit the Assessment Issue Site. For information on issues that more directly address specific actions states are taking to improve the level of student achievement, please see Related Issues at left.
