NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — The last few years forever changed the socionomic landscape while seismically shifting our collective perception of what we do, how we do it, and whom we do it with.
Read Minyanville's "The Devolution of Social Mood."
Following the prolonged and perpetuated period of conspicuous consumption, An Age of Austerity has emerged, at least for many who remain mired in Our Increasingly Asymmetric World. Read Minyanville's "An Age of Austerity."
Despite the percolating societal acrimony and emerging class warfare, we had to go through it to get through it and we're going through it now, and that is on the margin constructive. Read Minyanville's "Short Sale of American Icons."
Adversity has not only defined our collective character, it has brought out the best in those determined to effect positive change.
It was an eventful year — from heart surgeries and hurricanes to multiple moves and a marriage — but in the end, our experiences shape who we are and our decisions map where we'll go. Through it all, we try to remember that the purpose of the journey is the journey itself. Read Minyanville's "The Heart of the Matter.
This year, there were poignant and painful reminders of the vast difference between loss and loss, and it should never take something bad to make us realize how good we've got it.
With that in mind, I humbly share my cumulative list of lessons learned. Many relate to the markets, but most apply to life; in no particular order:
•All a man has is his name and his word.
Big banks in the new year
Looking ahead to the challenges major banks will face in 2013.
•Honesty, trust, and respect are the foundational constructs of any successful endeavor.
•Anxiety is simply the friction between where you are and where you feel you should be.
•Keep your chin up, not your chest out.
•Time is the most precious commodity.
•What goes around comes around.
•The greatest wisdom is often bred as a function of pain.
•Be able to look yourself in the eyes each day when you brush your teeth.
•Bad times define good friends just as bad seasons define good fans.
•Be good to others and better to yourself.
•Do Something Joel: A random act of kindness motivates others to do the same. Learn more about the JSP Foundation.
•Work to live; don't live to work.
•Time is the arbiter of fate.
•Free will is God's greatest gift; experience is a close second.
•Opportunities are made up easier than losses.
•Profitability begins within.
•If you are unhappy with anything in your life remember you are the only one who can change it.
•One hand washes the other.
Medical miracles in 2013?
Astonishing medical advances that are finally moving from research and prototypes to practical treatments.
•Where you stand is a function of where you sit.
•The only difference between genius and madness is acceptance.
•The only difference between intervention and manipulation is communication.
•The only difference between a lesson and a mistake is the ability to learn from it.
•Negative energy is wasted energy.
•Adapt; don't conform.
•Take the high road; it's less crowded and has a better view.
•Be thankful for what you have rather than lament about what you don't.

FORT DRUM The gunshots and wounds were fake, but the response by area emergency personnel was real during a mass-casualty drill Thursday at Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield.
Thursdays scenario called for local, state and federal law enforcement and emergency crews to locate a gunman who shot 10 people enjoying a day off with a barbecue. After securing the scene, medical crews were tasked with moving and treating the gunmans victims at area hospitals.
We do this to be prepared, so that if it does happen here, we have very well-synchronized and coordinated teams, said John P. Simard, Fort Drums exercise and plans officer. He added that the exercise was relevant, given recent shooting incidents like the one at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut last December.
Responders were given dozens of surprise additions to the training throughout the day, such as the placement of materials that could be used to make explosives, and a threatening phone call that helped law enforcement officers find the gunman, who was holed up in a barracks with a hostage.
The exercise began at 8:30 a.m. Thursday with a 911 call from one of the victims, describing the shooting. The 10 soldiers playing the wounded suffered various injuries from the fictional gunshots, ranging from abdominal damage to an eye injury.
Fort Drum police responded first to the scene, ensuring that the gunman, who started the exercise in his barracks hideout, was away from the scene. With the area cleared, ambulance crews arrived and placed tags on the wounded that listed the extent of the injuries and determined where the patients could be sent for treatment.
As law enforcement agencies proceeded with their search for the gunman, the victims were sent to area hospitals. Five were taken to Carthage Area Hospital, four were taken to Samaritan Medical Center, Watertown, and one was flown by helicopter to Upstate Medical University, Syracuse.
Uncertain how many victims they would receive, staff at Samaritans Emergency Department set up three tarps of varying colors in case triage was needed. As victims arrived, they were quickly maneuvered into rooms for treatment. With one role player in critical condition, the medical staff readied paperwork to move him to an operating room.
An average day, we normally dont get these kind of mass-casualty events, said Stephen G. Falk, Samaritans emergency manager. You might have a car accident on 81 where it involves a few patients, but to have a massive amount of patients respond at one time, its a stress to our system, and something that we need to exercise.
Mr. Falk said that the hospital has helped Fort Drum with its response to mass-casualty incidents, such as a 2003 Black Hawk crash that killed 11 of the 13 soldiers on board.
These events can happen, theyve happened in the past, and we need to test our staffs response, get them prepared, Mr. Falk said. This is the way we do that.
Thursdays exercise ran until about 3 p.m. Fort Drum spokeswoman Julie A. Cupernall said the costs for the training were minimal, as the personnel participating in the drill already were scheduled to work that day.

Thai cuisine is renowned for its fiery chilies, fresh herbs and seafood. Spicy, sweet, sour and salt all hold hands to create a fusion of fresh, flavoursome foods. As well as having superb food, Thailand also has superb restaurants. Silver service comes as standard in most top end hotels, which tend to offer a selection of Thai and international dishes. Thais are rightly proud of the incredible variety of dishes on offer, from curries to salads and from fruit to fried food. Dining out here is one of the real pleasures of Thailand. The setting can sometimes be as good as the food, as it's possible to take a dinner cruise or eat by the beach and watch sensational sunsets.
Once you're sated, it's time to check out Thailand's nightlife. Bangkok has several areas worth exploring, including RCA, Silom and Thong Lor. Sky bars are now among the hottest, and highest, spots in town. These attract Thailand's celebrities as they sip cocktails and look down over all of Bangkok. Whether it's one night in Bangkok or elsewhere, Thais like to party, and love to do it in style. It's possible to dance until nearly dawn at some of the hottest clubs in Asia, which often bring in international DJs to keep things fresh and funky.
The sky literally is the limit when it comes to Bangkok's dining options. The city has neck-achingly tall hotels that have their own restaurants at the very top.
Dining in Thailand doesn't have to mean bowls of rice and som tam. One of the great things about the kingdom, and particularly Bangkok, is that international options are never far away.
Eating in style comes as a given in many of Thailand's restaurants. Fabulous settings, first-class service and traditional food that you'll never forget come as standard in some of the country's top dining spots.
Some restaurants just seem to attract the good and the beautiful, and Bangkok is no exception. Sit in some places and you're likely to be a table away from a TV celeb, actor or singer.
Wine has never really taken off in Thailand thanks to high taxes and a feeling that the grain is better than the grape.
Given the level of beauty in much of Thailand, it's no surprise that many bars choose to offer customers a bird's eye view of their surroundings.
Every self-respecting accommodation has its own bars, but some are so good you may get to leave your hotel all evening.
Dazzling DJs, laser light shows and eclectic beats ensure Thailand's nightclubs are always packed.

How about having a link on the top of the page like "View latest posts" that displays the last 10-20 posts (regardless of which thread topic its under)? The following list ....
View posts since last visit
View your posts
View unanswered posts
I'm having problems with those choices. For instance, the last time I was at this forum (about 1-2 hours ago) I saw some threads that I was going to read, but didn't have time. Now that I'm back, my "View posts since last visit" list has updated and I don't see them there anymore (which I understand is how it's supposed to work). I also don't know if they have been answered yet, but if they have then I'd like to read what the responses were. As of right now, I have to go into every Forum topic and view the latest posts of each one (or is there a way of viewing the most recent posts that I'm unaware of?). I am a member of another forum that has this feature, and I believe it's the most used link on the entire site.
Any way, this is just a suggestion.

Beowulf: A New Verse Translationby Seamus Heaney
Staff Pick
"I resignedly picked it up at last on the tail end of a history binge, telling myself, 'Okay, I'm finally going to slog through it. Just get it over with.' And I discovered all my trepidation had been for naught. This isn't an 'accessible for a scholarly book' type of read; it is just plain a good book....The work itself reads like a pint of fine winter ale, complex and intoxicating, the end arriving quick and unwelcome."
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
New York Times bestseller"A thrill . . . Beowulf was Tolkien's lodestar. Everything he did led up to or away from it." —New Yorker
J.R.R. Tolkien completed his translation of Beowulf in 1926: he returned to it later to make hasty corrections, but seems never to have considered its publication. This edition includes an illuminating written commentary on the poem by the translator himself, drawn from a series of lectures he gave at Oxford in the 1930s.
His creative attention to detail in these lectures gives rise to a sense of the immediacy and clarity of his vision. It is as if Tolkien entered into the imagined past: standing beside Beowulf and his men shaking out their mail-shirts as they beach their ship on the coast of Denmark, listening to Beowulf's rising anger at Unferth's taunting, or looking up in amazement at Grendel's terrible hand set under the roof of Heorot.
"Essential for students of the Old English poem—and the ideal gift for devotees of the One Ring." —Kirkus
"Heaney has turned to Beowulf, and the result is magnificent, breathtaking....Heaney has created something imperishable and great that is stainless — stainless, because its force as poetry makes it untouchable by the claw of literalism: it lives singly, as an English language poem." James Wood, The Guardian
"Reads very well and comes to life...[It] will have a permanent place among Beowulf translations." Fred Robinson, Yale University
"Heaney's introduction does everything it should to dust down and exhibit the poem, exploring its origins, investigating its form and establishing its structure....Heaney has caught the balance of these things brilliantly; he has made a masterpiece out of a masterpiece." Andrew Motion, Financial Times
"The translation itself rides boldly through the reefs of scholarship....Beowulf, an elegy for heroism and a critique of feud and fratricide, is alive and well." Michael Alexander, The Observer
"Anglo-Saxon verse is celebrated for its alliterative riffs, its ringing and singing, and...Heaney does it full justice....Beneath the battledress, Beowulf is a peacemaker, a man who eases trouble. This fine translation is worth our trouble too." Blake Morrison, The Independent
"Heaney's excellent translation has the virtue of being both direct and sophisticated, making previous versions look slightly flowery and antique by comparison. His intelligence, fine ear and obvious love of the poem bring Beowulf alive as melancholy masterpiece, a complex Christian-pagan lament about duty, glory, loss and transience....Heaney has done it (and us) a great service." Claire Harman, Evening Standard
"Within Heaney's writing, the civic and the chthonic have always slogged it out, and this magnificent translation is no exception.... [This translation] is a marvelously sturdy, intricate reinvention, which betrays its author's poetic dabs less in its earthiness than in its airiness. It is the canny colloquialisms ('in fine fettle,' 'under a cloud,' 'blather,' 'big talk,' 'gave as good as I got') which are most Heaneyesque, not the smell of the soil.... This poet is so superbly in command that he can risk threadbare, throwaway, matter-of-fact phrases like 'of no small importance' or 'the best part of a day.' He has a casual way with the alliterative patters of the original, which helps to strip its craft of portentous self-consciousness and frees up its syntax to move more nimbly.... Heaney [is] an artist so exquisitely gifted and imaginatively capacious that only a work of such mighty scale would answer to his abilities." Terry Eagleton, London Review of Books
"[At the task of] bringing the personality of the BEOWULF-poet up from the ocean bottom...Heaney is inspired. His inspiration arises, as he explains in his introduction (itself a profound essay on the poem, and an immediate classic), from a kind of miraculous chiasmus, where the extreme of the known met and crossed the extreme of the unknown....[C]ertain poems create a kind of acoustics within which their translator can better hear his own language, the language for him most saturated with tragedy. Heaney has done just that in this brilliant millennial BEOWULF, just in time for the next century's atrocities." Dan Chiasson, Boston Book Review
"This translation does something other than bring [Beowulf] up into our time. It transports us to his and lets us wander there;after which home will never seem entirely the same.... Mr. Heaney's translation beats with a recurring pulse, from homely and concrete to elevated and back again." Richard Eder, New York Times
"There is one thing that Heaney's BEOWULF does better than any translation of the poem that I know....[T]he voice of the old Beowulf seems not so much translated by Heaney into Modern English as ventriloquized into it....In [the book's] thrilling passages, it reads better than any other translation that we have; and in its dullest passages, it is no worse than many others." Nicholas Howe, New Republic
"A faithful rendering that is simultaneously an original and gripping poem in its own right." —New York Times Book Review
The translation of Beowulf by J.R.R. Tolkien was an early work, very distinctive in its mode, completed in 1926: he returned to it later to make hasty corrections, but seems never to have considered its publication. This edition is twofold, for there exists an illuminating commentary on the text of the poem by the translator himself, in the written form of a series of lectures given at Oxford in the 1930s, and from these lectures a substantial selection has been made, to form a commentary on the translation in this book.From his creative attention to detail in these lectures there arises a sense of the immediacy and clarity of his vision. It is as if Tolkien entered into the imagined past: standing beside Beowulf and his men shaking out their mail-shirts as they beached their ship on the coast of Denmark, listening to the rising anger of Beowulf at the taunting of Unferth, or looking up in amazement at Grendel's terrible hand set under the roof of Heorot.But the commentary in this book also includes much from those lectures in which, while always anchored in the text, Tolkien expressed his wider perceptions. He looks closely at the dragon that would slay Beowulf "snuffling in baffled rage and injured greed when he discovers the theft of the cup"; but he rebuts the notion that this is "a mere treasure story . . . just another dragon tale." He turns to the lines that tell of the burying of the golden things long ago, and observes that it is "the feeling for the treasure itself, this sad history" that raises it to another level. "The whole thing is sombre, tragic, sinister, curiously real. The 'treasure' is not just some lucky wealth that will enable the finder to have a good time, or marry the princess. It is laden with history, leading back into the dark heathen ages beyond the memory of song, but not beyond the reach of imagination.""Sellic Spell," a "marvellous tale," is a story written by Tolkien suggesting what might have been the form and style of an Old English folktale of Beowulf, in which there was no association with the "historical legends" of the northern kingdoms.
bestseller and winner of the Whitbread Award.
Composed toward the end of the first millennium, is the elegiac narrative of the adventures of Beowulf, a Scandinavian hero who saves the Danes from the seemingly invincible monster Grendel and, later, from Grendel's mother. He then returns to his own country and dies in old age in a vivid fight against a dragon. The poem is about encountering the monstrous, defeating it, and then having to live on in the exhausted aftermath. In the contours of this story, at once remote and uncannily familiar at the beginning of the twenty-first century, Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney finds a resonance that summons power to the poetry from deep beneath its surface. Drawn to what he has called the "four-squareness of the utterance" in ? and its immense emotional credibility, Heaney gives these epic qualities new and convincing reality for the contemporary reader.
The national bestseller and winner of the Whitbread Award. Composed toward the end of the first millennium, Beowulf is the classic Northern epic of a hero's triumphs as a young warrior and his fated death as a defender of his people. The poem is about encountering the monstrous, defeating it, and then having to live on, physically and psychically exposed in the exhausted aftermath. It is not hard to draw parallels in this story to the historical curve of consciousness in the twentieth century, but the poem also transcends such considerations, telling us psychological and spiritual truths that are permanent and liberating.
About the Author
Seamus Heaney received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1995; he teaches regularly at Harvard University and lives in Dublin.

See some of the finest examples of Chinese painting at the V&A's autumn 2013 exhibition 'Masterpieces of Chinese Painting', the most comprehensive exhibition on the topic since 1935. Over 100 works from the beginning of the 8th to the end of the 19th century are brought together for this display which includes some of the earliest surviving Chinese paintings. Evolving themes and aesthetic preferences developed over the centuries are examined through rare works including figure paintings on silk for tombs and temples, and small scale works by monks. A show of this scale and nature hasn't been seen in the UK since the well-received International Exhibition of Chinese Art at the Royal Academy in 1935.

Best Uses
Comments about Hohner RP565 MS Reed Plates:
While I was happy with the amount of time it took to receive my Low D harmonica reed plate from Musician's Friend, I was unhappy to find that the #6 blow reed had been bent and then an attempt made to straighten it. (from the Hohner factory?)
The thin brass reed once bent or kinked will not blow correctly. I have sent it back and I've been informed that it is on back order. With two big gigs coming up in January, I can only hope.
I have been playing harmonica for 65 years and in that time have had other disappointments with Hohner's quality control and had to return products. Unfortinately I don't know any other manufacturer offering a low D.
Comments about Hohner RP565 MS Reed Plates:
As ridiculously expensive as harmonicas have been getting, it's nice to have an alternative to having to entirely replace a harmonica or go through the tedius process of tuning a flat reed.These replacement reeds are easy to install, but the one drawback is that these reeds don't fit all the Hohner harmonicas.
Comments about Hohner RP565 MS Reed Plates:
These reeds are better quality than what comes in the Big River Harps. Bendability and tone is more like the Blues Harps. They seem to last pretty well - I still haven't killed mine!

Angle Mate
Out of Stock Product Number: 16807
DMT has taken the mystery out of sharpening with the Angle Mate. Designed with a magnet for use with DMT's popular Diafold sharpeners, it grips the diamond surface and provides the proper starting angle at which to place the knife's edge to produce the right sharpening bevel.
Simply lean the knife blade against the Angle Mate and stroke over the Diafold surface four to five times. Then, slide the angle Mate to the opposite end of the Diafold and repeat the process using the other side of the knife.
In no time, even a novice will sharpen like a pro. With practice, you will find you automatically start to angle the blade correctly. This new skill may be applied to other DMT diamond stones.
- Fixed angle for sonsistent sharpening strokes-good for most knives
- Professional sharpening results
- Super strong magnet for easy attachment
- Lightweight and portable - easy to carry with Diafold Sharpener

text: Couple of things to check. First make sure you install all the updates. Vista is still full of bugs. Then keep in mind that vista uses much more RAM then XP. Something like 600+ meg minimum. So check the size of your swap file and your hiberfile. Increase swap file to be at least the size of RAM. And you may want to disable hibernation, then reboot, then re enable it, because I assume you did an upgrade and I am not sure if it's set up correctly. Not sure if this will help, but this is what I would do first.

Employees' work hours are landing on the cutting-room floor at the nation's largest movie theater chain, and according to the company, ObamaCare is to blame.
In March, Regal Entertainment Group, which operates over 500 theaters in 38 states, reduced non-salaried employees' hours to 30 per week. Under the Affordable Care Act, employers with 50 or more full-time employees — defined as those working more than 30 hours per week — are required to offer "affordable" health insurance to all those employees or pay a $2,000 penalty for each one who instead obtains subsidized insurance on an exchange. By keeping many employees from being classified as full-time, Regal will not be forced to offer them insurance, which can be very costly: $4,664 for an individual and $11,429 for a family, on average, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Theater managers left to convey the bad news to their employees asked Regal for guidance on how best to explain the work reductions. In a memo obtained by Fox News, the company suggested this explanation: "To comply with the Affordable Care Act, Regal had to increase our health care budget to cover those newly deemed eligible based on the law's definition of a full-time employee."
"To manage this budget," the memo continues, "all other employees will be scheduled in accord with business needs and in a manner that will not negatively impact our health care budget."
The manager of one Regal theater told Fox News that the company's hour slashing "has sparked a wave of resignations from full-time managers who have seen their hours cut by 25 percent or more."
"In the last couple weeks, managers have been quitting on a daily basis from various locations to try and find full-time work," said the manager, speaking on condition of anonymity. "Regal up until now has never restricted anyone to anything below 40 hours."

Public Forum:
Dave Ament is on the ballot for mayor in New Berlin. He has been the 7th District alderman for 12 years. Dave and his wife, Peggy, grew up in New Berlin, raised their family here and regularly attended city meetings. Through the years they have always given back to the community.
In the late 90s, the New Berlin Chamber of Commerce was bankrupt and abandoned. The Aments, with the support of other business owners, stepped in and were able to clear the debt and put the chamber back in business again. Think of the New Berlin Chamber of Commerce when you visit the farmers market on Saturdays. During that same time, the Aments learned that the city needed a new ambulance and the funds were not in the city budget. The Aments organized a fundraiser to purchase a new ambulance to fulfill the needs of the city. With the generous financial support from the residents and businesses, the city was able to purchase a new ambulance.
After Dave was elected alderman, he worked with New Berlin Assistant Fire Chief Scott Gillard and the state of Wisconsin and RN/EMT-P Paramedic Coordinator Cathy Etter to start the paramedic program in New Berlin and passionately supported the program to its present 24/7 coverage.
For years the Aments have volunteered and supported many programs including the Fourth of July parade and festival, the Christmas parade, soap box derby, historical society and organized and sponsored the New Berlin Memorial Day ceremonies at Highland Memorial Park Cemetery since 1999.
With Dave Ament's leadership, New Berlin will be a better place to live, raise a family and care for our senior residents.
Please join me and vote Dave Ament for mayor on Feb. 19.

CrockPot Corn on the Cob Recipe
42 comments:
I've done corn on the cob in my Crockpot before with water in it, but I never tried without the water. What a great idea! This way you don't have to deal with a crock full of boiling hot water when you take the corn out.
Did you have any trouble fitting the corn in your Crockpot? When I made it with the water, the corn I had was a little big for my pot - and cutting them smaller was just an impossible task.
I am sure you've already heard this a million times before, and will probably hear it a million times after me, but I love your blog!
The first thing I do in the morning is go to your blog hoping you've already posted the new recipe for the day.

so.... it's really okay to run the crockpot with no liquid in it??

Hi Crockpot Lady!
This is an awesome idea! My dad used to cook corn on the grill - he would shuck his and wrap it in foil with butter but my mom and I would remove the outer, dirty layers, then peel back the green, remove the corn silks, and put back the green and steam/grill the corn that way, without foil. I wonder if I could do the same technique of using the husks instead of using foil... :) Great post!
- May 31, 2008 at 9:59 AM
I just stumbled on your blog and love your site. How easy this would be! I can't wait to try it!Thanks!

- Nancy said...
well shoot, I didn't have any corn, so I clicked on your link and did the potatoes. I used LARGE potatoes and cooked them on high for 5 hours. DH hates my crockpot, so I didn't tell him how I cooked them. He loved them. I will do this all summer to keep the house cooler.
Now to run and get some corn!!

Flippin' amazing... Im going to tell everyone I know!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! :)
- June 2, 2008 at 7:25 PM
I had to try this! I only made 3 ears in case it flopped. NO!!! It was very good. Very crisp, and hot. I will make this again. It beats boiling water and trying to figure out how long to boil them. Now I don't have to buy a 12-20qt pot just for corn! Yeah! Only downside is all the foil needed. Too bad you can't crockpot the corn without foil. Great recipe! Thanks!
- June 9, 2008 at 10:49 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi jennifer, I'm so glad that it worked for you!
the foil: I am guessing that it would work if you used the corn husks---I don't have any corn on hand, or I'd try it, but I think you can peel back the husks, remove the silky thready things, re-husk and then crock. The only drawback is that I don't know how you would really know if the husks were clean. It wouldn't be a problem if you grew the corn yourself, or knew the organic gardener, etc.
if you try it, let me know!

What an awesome recipe! Thanks for suggesting this idea. Everyone loved the corn. It was the best we've ever had! Thank you for your wonderful blog. I've gotten lots of fabulous ideas from it.

Thanks, Lisa! We've made it in the crock now a few times, and I will not go back to boiling it. The corn is just so flavorful when it cooks in only it's own juices; it's amazing.
thanks for reporting back!

Hi Stephanie,
I made 4 ears of corn today in my round crockpot and they turned out great. I used the method I explained above (rewrapping the husks) instead of foil and they turned out great after cooking on high for 2 hours. Awesomeness!

ooh, ~m, thank you for reporting back! I'm so glad it worked!

I like corn on the cob to be more well done, not crunchy; does anyone else? Should I add an hour or two to the cooking time?
- July 10, 2008 at 8:19 PM
In reference to the foil - I, too, used to use foil when grilling corn (I never thought of using the crockpot until I saw your recipe for it).
I now never use foil. I just trim the flappy green pieces and some of the top threads off the corn and cook it husk (no opening and pulling out the threads).
Once cooked, you shuck them and you won't believe how easily the threads come off. It's unbelievable - no more fighting with threads that stick to the corn.
Only problem is they are really hot and that makes them a bit hard to handle but so worth it.
I did read somewhere recently a woman recommended running them under cold water first just so the husks aren't so hot to touch.
If you are worried about issues with the unwashed husks in the crock, once cooked and shucked, you can rinse under water and not lose any of the heat. They'll still be plenty warm.

Another recipe to add to my crockpot collection. The family LOVED the results! I used fresh Olathe sweet corn and 2 hours left it nice and crunchy. I will use this method over and over again.....

Holy guacamole!! I cannot believe I have not found this blog sooner! I am SO putting you on my RSS feed! You'll have to check out the photos on my blog of my ribs in the crockpot. LOL

- Nola said...
The second anonymous poster has it right...no need to peel back the husk and get the silk off...just cook it with it on and shuck afterwards. Yes it can be hot but just let it sit off the head for a minute and you're fine. The silks come off so easily. I haven't done corn in the crock pot yet but have done it this way in the microwave. I rinse the corn in water first and cook 2-3 minutes.

this might be a stupid question...
can I use frozen corn? should I defrost them first? I love corn on the cob and I am seriously in love with my crockpot, so I really want to try this.
- July 6, 2009 at 10:39 AM
- Amanda on Maui said...
I'll be doing this for our next party.
@Moonbug If your corn is fresh you shouldn't need to cut it to break it down. You should be able to snap the cobs in half with your hands.
- July 6, 2009 at 11:36 AM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi La Pixie,
I don't think that's a stupid question at all! I think the frozen corn would work quite well. I'd make them the exact same way, but add about 30 minutes to the time.

I reasonlly read where you could cook corn on the cob in a slow cooker but never try it and couldn't remember where I read it. Thanks this sounds really good and easy and I'm going to try it tonight.

Made this today using the little frozen corn cobs. Put a little margarine on each one using a paper towel, sprinkled a little Vegetable Magic (it's a spice) and wrapped each one and let them cook for a few hours. I used them right from the freezer, so it took a while to get them all cooked up.
Big hit, thank you! Plus it wasn't much work for me, which I totally love hehehe :) I think I'll make this one at Christmas too.
Very glad to have found your site with real recipes, not just the usual pour a can of cream soup on top type stuff. Already have a few bookmarked to try out in the next few weeks!

Hi Cara,
yup! That would work just fine.
yummy. I've been craving ribs.

- August 9, 2010 at 11:06 AM
Great idea. I'm making this right now with the tin foil. Next time I'll try keeping the husks on. Love your blog!
- April 20, 2011 at 4:33 PM
Oh my word. We made this yesterday, and it is the best way to make corn on the cob, aside from possibly grilling it (but we don't have a grill). The ears weren't so boiling hot that my kids couldn't grab them, they were perfectly cooked and tasted sweeter than I'd have thought supermarket corn that had sat in my fridge for days could taste. My husband pronounced this idea "brilliant." I may have to ge a second crockpot so we can do corn on the cob as a side dish with other things cooked in the crock this summer!
- May 31, 2011 at 8:40 AM
Has anyone tried to season and butter the corn before wrapping it in foil. I wonder if it would all leak out? It would make for easy serving.

Making Pulled pork in my crock pot tomorrow and just bought corn at the farmers mkt! I knew I could potatoes thought this might work and glad it will!!!

- Cee Jay Kay said...
This was WAY better than I thought it would be. I add a sprig of thyme and a couple leaves of basil before wrapping up the cobs in the foil. I cooked on high for two hours and then low for one hour, then turned the temp to warm until hubby was ready to eat. Where the corn came in contact with the crock had a nice roast to it. This is a fantastic way to deal with corn when you have a ton of other things to cook.
- July 15, 2012 at 4:51 AM
- Wendy said...
WAY late to the table, but I do this all the time! I also butter the corn before wrapping it up in the foil and it's a huge it.
I have also been known to make a compound butter with chili powder & lime zest for the corn. For my high school reunion last year, 3 of us cooked and I made something like 100 half-ears of corn using this method and it worked like a charm! I'm still getting asked about the chili-lime corn too.
- July 18, 2012 at 2:32 PM
What a blessing! Were just "gifted" a dozen ears of corn.
Have been very sick with Lyme for several weeks and was considering experimenting with an "unhusked method" of cooking when this came up. LOVE your site and all the suggestions. And thanks to all those who participate.
Had to laugh at Karen considering a 2nd crockpot. We have 2 large AND 2 small ones - and there's only 2 of us! (The older of which will be 84 in a couple weeks...)
- August 7, 2012 at 1:21 PM
Worked great didn't shuck it just put it in crock pot on high for about 2 hr (no water) went off to my yoga class, shucked it afterwards tasted perfect
- August 27, 2012 at 9:52 AM
- Allen Morgan said...
We have often slow smoked mini or whole ears of corn when we were slow smoking meat. We tried our slow cooker with a butter rubbed on the corn and Cajun seasoning, cooking on high for 3 hours and found the results different, though pleasant, a good change. We will do it again, sometime.
Thanks for the idea and ideas!

Sounds good. Can a pad of butter be added with the corn in the tinfoil?
- June 22, 2013 at 9:53 AM
- ayalajaya said...
I did this recipe on Wednesday & I did it longer using another recipe & it was good but now thatI see that she cooked it for 2 hours, I will have to agree....I like my corn well done...when I did it longer it was crunchy.
- July 27, 2013 at 6:10 PM
- Jeanne Westbrook said...
Made this and it's a hit!!! I left the husks on and it was super easy to shuck when it was done and then I wrapped a paper towel around the corn and moved my hand around and got the last of the silk off. Then I just added a little popcorn salt ('cause it tastes like butter) and pepper and dug right in!!! So yummy!!!

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Ships of the United States Navy have been named after various things during the years.
In the early to mid part of the 20th century, battleships were named after states like Arizona, Oklahoma and West Virginia and many cruisers were named after cities in the country, including Indianapolis, Nashville, Montpelier and Salt Lake City.
But while warship names seem to live on in the annuals of popular history, many of the support ships that also made winning the world wars possible have faded into anonymity.
But there was a time when having any ship named after an area was a big deal. It was a matter of pride for a number of reasons.
On a Sunday afternoon in April 1919, a drive was started to select a name for a U.S. Navy ship that would spread the story of Carbon County around the world for the 27 years.
The U.S. Navy vessel, which was to carry oil and aviation fuel to various regions of the world, was to bear the name of the area in a unique way and, even when it was renamed, the Carbon connection would always be there.
World War I ended in November 1918, but the U.S. was still in a ship building frenzy, thinking of the future defense of the country. Therefore, ships that had been planned to be used against hostile powers in Europe were still being constructed.
The honor of naming a ship had been earned by the citizens of the county because more war bonds had been sold in Carbon than in any area of comparable size in the multi-state 12th federal reserve district during the Fourth Liberty Bond Drive of World War I.
When the money was raised, the government gave each locality the right to choose a name for a new naval vessel.
The money that put Carbon into the position of selecting a name was sizable at the time, especially for a county that was often considered poor in contrast to others in the district.
During the five bond drives conducted while the U.S. was engaged in WWI, Carbon nearly doubled the "quota" of $187,000 dollars and raised more money than almost all Utah counties.
In fact, The Sun newspaper trumpeted at the time that "Carbon had saved the state of Utah from embarrassment" by being the only county in Utah to raise enough to get naming rights.
At the time of the naming competition, the U.S. Navy vessel was being built in the Alameda shipyard in northern California.
Presumably, as the contest wore on, the drive would conclude with a moniker affiliating the future oil tanker with the landlocked county in the middle of the western desert.
In the weeks preceding the meeting in which the name would be selected, officials announced that any Carbon resident could submit a name to the local "council of defense" and the entry would be considered for the honor.
Council president A.W. Horsley and secretary R.W. Crockett were named to the committee conducting the ship naming contest.
A number of rules were set down, including the U.S. War Department edict that no ship could be named after an individual.
The council meeting produced many suggestions and, for the next couple of months, people submitted entries.
The council eventually decided on Utacarbon, a name submitted by Mrs. C.H. Stevenson.
The decision came in June and the county was buzzing with what was going on as the for launching the ship approached in late July.
Articles in The News-Advocate and The Sun chronicled the upcoming event with differing approaches.
The Sun covered the entire story in a positive way, building up to the big day of launch.
The News-Advocate, on the other hand, put less in the newspaper and, once the launch was completed, claimed Utah Gov. Simon Bamberger and his friends had stolen the limelight from the county at the lauching.
Margaret Horsley was selected by the council to christen the ship as it slid into San Francisco Bay.
Local representatives traveling to the launch including defense council members, county commissioners, mayors and citizens.
As part of a statewide celebration, Utah state officials also planned to be in attendance for the christening.
It was eventually decided to use Colton Spring water to launch the vessel. A silver service with the inscription, "As Utah served in the world war, so may this serve with the Utacarbon," was to be presented to the ships's captain upon the launch.
Two special train cars of dignitaries and citizens were to leave Salt Lake for the West Coast.
California Gov. William Stephens proclaimed July 31 as Utah Day and the mayors of Oakland, Alameda and San Francisco planned to be in attendance for the launch.
The train left the station July 28 with more passengers than expected. Shortly after 3 p.m. on July 31, Horsley christened Utacarbon. Some papers reported that Horsley broke champagne or wine on the bow and Bamberger broke the water on the ship's iron. Another account said Horsley used the water while the ship's sailors broke a bottle of wine.
As reported in the San Francisco Chronicle on Aug. 1, the ship was dedicated to Utah and Carbon County by William Day, vice governor of the federal reserve bank. Gov. Bamberger accepted the honor.
One week later, motion pictures of the launching showed up in Carbon County.
A large crowd gathered Aug. 12 at the Eko Theatre to watch the show.
The 150-foot roll of film cost $20 to be shipped from New York and Utah Fuel Company made the arrangements to secure the footage. In the end, the county paid for the costs.
The film went to Sunnyside the next day, then to Castle Gate, Spring Canyon and Helper.The ship was off and sailing. But Utacarbon's road would be rocky as the ship passed through the Great Depression into World War II and then to a uncermonius demise in 1946 near Mobile, Ala.
Editors note: Today's article is the first of a two part series about the Utacarbon.

Historic Photos: Koreshan Unity in Estero
Dr. Cyrus Reed Teed, founder of the Koreshan Universology, was born Oct. 18, 1839 in Teedsville, N.Y. Teed studied medicine, with his uncle in 1859 and had his 'illumination' in 1869. Dr. Teed took the name 'Koresh,' the Hebrew translation for Cyrus, meaning shepherd. The colonists believed that the entire universe existed within a giant, hollow sphere with all life on its inner surface. For them, the earth is practically stationary with the sun at the center of a the sphere and revolving once in 24 hrs. Teed moved from New York to Chicago with his followers and established a communal life 1886. His following grew to about 200 members and the group began relocating to Estero in 1894. The Koreshans built and operated a printing facility, boat works, cement works, sawmill, bakery, store and hostelry. After the death of Dr. Teed in 1908, at the age of 69 on Dec. 22, 1908, membership of his religious group began to decline.

Byron Generating Station's refueling outage begins today with significant upgrades and large scale projects among planned work scheduled. The large amount of activities means temporary employment for thousands in Northern Illinois and beyond.
BYRON, Ill. — Byron Generating Station's refueling outage begins today with significant upgrades and large scale projects among planned work scheduled. The large amount of activities means temporary employment for thousands in Northern Illinois and beyond.
Workers at Exelon Generation's Byron Station will refuel the Unit 1 reactor, perform maintenance on many turbine-related pieces of equipment, and refurbish one of the cooling tower's interior structure.
More than 2,200 additional workers have descended on the region to assist in the refueling outage, hundreds more than in past outages. Many of these workers are from local union halls. The work couldn't come at a better time for those still coping with a sluggish economy. Benefitting will be electricians and pipefitters, carpenters and welders, and many more during the refuel outage.
"This is our biggest outage in more than a decade and we're glad so many people will be able to come to the site and work," said Byron Station Vice President Tim Tulon. "We need the extra assistance; and many of these professionals currently need work. It's a wonderful opportunity for all to benefit."
In addition to replacing about one-third of the reactor's fuel, workers will perform approximately 14,000 inspections and maintenance activities on a variety of plant components and systems. Many of the activities performed during the outage cannot be done while the unit is operating.
Residents should be aware of the increased traffic in towns near the plant, which is a positive boost for businesses looking for an economic upturn. Most local motels, restaurants and shops from Rochelle to Rockford and many places in between see an increase in customers during Byron Station outages.
"We recognize that the increase in traffic during the outage might cause delays for some. We appreciate everyone's patience during this time," added Tulon.
While the unit is down, residents should be aware that one of the cooling towers will not produce any water vapor cloud. This is normal during a shutdown. Byron's Unit 2 will continue to supply clean electricity to Exelon customers during the Unit 1 outage. With both units at full power, the site produces almost 2,300 megawatts, enough electricity for 2.3 million homes.
Byron Generating Station is in Ogle County, Ill., about 25 miles southwest of Rockford.
Exelon Corporation (NYSE:EXC) is the nation's leading competitive energy provider, with approximately $33 billion in annual revenues. Headquartered in Chicago, Exelon has operations and business activities in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. Exelon is the largest competitive U.S. power generator, with approximately 35,000 megawatts of owned capacity comprising one of the nation's cleanest and lowest-cost power generation fleets.
