Now that the launch of the Surface tablet is history and the Windows 8 hoopla will be behind them today, Microsoft is revving up for their next event: release of the new devices that will run on Windows Phone 8. Lucky for all of us, Microsoft will live stream the event to be held in San Francisco on Monday, October 29th. Get ready for a broadcast at 10am PST.
Microsoft will also show off more Windows Phone 8 features like Xbox Music, new competition for Spotify and iTunes. "There are a whole series of…new capabilities and features that will come that we haven't talked about and there's integration with Windows 8 that we'll demo closer to the date," promises Greg Sullivan, Microsoft's Windows Phone senior product manager.
Both product manufacturers and wireless providers have been announcing they'll be showing off a range of Windows Phone 8 devices at the event. The lineup includes HTC's Windows Phone 8X and 8S, Samsung's ATIV S, Nokia's Lumia 820 and 920, and Verizon's exclusive Nokia Lumia 822 (aka the Atlas). There's also an outside possibility that ZTE will be there with a Windows Phone 8 device, too.
Hopefully Microsoft will be specific about shipment dates for Windows Phone 8 devices. So far, we've only heard that they will begin shipping in November.
In the meantime, Microsoft is showing its new Windows 8 to the world today.

Video: Tonawanda Coke Found Guilty of Violating Clean Air Act
BUFFALO, NY-- Tonawanda Coke has been found guilty of violating the Clean Air Act in a major trial involving federal environmental law.
The nearly month-long complex trial wrapped up Thursday with the guilty verdict from the jury. Residents living near the plant have claim they have contracted serious ailments.
Tonawanda Coke was charged with 19 federal counts for violating the Clean Air Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act from 1998 to 2009. The company was found guilty of violating at least 14 of the counts in this case. This was specifically tied to the release of benzene, which is a known carcinogen, during the venting of coke oven gas.
"I am extremely emotional, this has been a cause near and dear to my heart for ten years, I started this because I'm sick, I started this because of my community," said Jackie James Creedon of the Tonawanda Community Fund.
In addition Mark Kamholz, the plant official in charge of environmental controls, was charged and found guilty of obstruction of justice in this case as well as violations of the Clean Air Act and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
U.S. Attorney William Hochul says the charges carry a maximum combined penalty up to 75 years in prison and fines in excess of $200 Million dollars.
WEB EXTRA: Click here to read the criminal indictment against Tonawanda Coke.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ordered Tonawanda Coke to make a series of improvements to reduce water and air pollution at its River Road plant or face sanctions and other enforcement actions by the state and federal governments. Tonawanda Coke will remain in operation. According to the Clean Air Coalition, the company can keep its doors open as long as it shows the government it's trying to clean up its operation.
The EPA says Tonawanda Coke violated the Clean Air Act with uncontrolled releases of ammonia and benzene. The agency says excessive exposure to benzene is known to cause cancer.
Government officials also say the company failed to properly handle coal tar sludge and maintain pipes and storage tanks which can leak polluted runoff into the Niagara River.
Defense attorneys would not comment as they left the courthouse. It is not clear if they will file appeals.
Judith A. Enck, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Regional Administrator issued this statement:
"The verdict against Tonawanda Coke Corporation and Mark L. Kamholz sends a strong message that companies and individuals can't simply ignore environmental law and disregard people's health. The defendants in this case were completely indifferent to the impact their actions had on those in the community. This verdict is a major step towards bringing this facility into compliance. EPA will continue its work to reduce air toxics from the Tonawanda Coke facility and address the significant pollution in the Tonawanda community."
The U.S. Attorney's Office of Western New York issued statements on the case. U.S. Attorney William Hochul said "From the evidence of this case, where literally hundreds of tons of coke oven gas containing Benzene were left out in the open, it would be hard to imagine a more callous disregard for the health and well being of the citizens in the community."
Ignacia Moreno, Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division of the U.S. Justice Department, said "The Tonawanda Coke Corporation and Mr. Kamholz intentionally deceived federal regulators by concealing the company's violations of the Clean Air Act and Resource Conservation Recovery Act, which were enacted by Congress to protect human health and the environment."
The defendants in the case are expected back in court on July 15th for sentencing.
Creedon has been watching the trial with her concerns as a former neighbor of the facility. She says she was also involved in efforts dating back 11 years ago to take air samples.
Erin Heaney of the Clear Air Coalition said "A really powerful day. And for me it gives me hope that our government is actually looking out for folks. There is still a lot of work to be done. The EPA still has a civil case that's going on too. That still could levy potential fines. There's still some question, assuming there is monetary fines, of how that money will be spent."

CANTON Police have released surveillance footage of a man they say was involved in the assault on a St. Lawrence University student Friday night, but poor lighting and shadows in the video have hindered them from identifying the suspect.
The footage, taken in four segments between 10:16 and 10:46 p.m. by an SLU security camera at University and Park streets, has been sent to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for enhancement.
The victim, whose name has not been released by police, described her attacker as a balding white male, approximately 6 feet tall, who was wearing blue jeans, a tan hoodie and tan boots.
He grabbed her about 11 p.m. on West Street, but fled when she screamed.
Anyone with information about the crime is asked to call police at 386-4561.
With a suspect still at large, Canton Police Sgt. Basil Cheney recommended traveling at least in pairs when walking the streets at night.

What You'll Need:
- 2 cardboard tubes
- Scrap paper
- 2 colors of tempera paint
- Small container
- Paintbrush
- Twine
- Scissors
- Clean the tubes of any remaining paper, and place on a sheet of scrap paper in front of your tot. Decide together on two colors of paint to use for the binoculars. Squeeze the colors into a small container and offer it to your child along with a paintbrush.
- Encourage your child to coat the outsides of the cardboard tubes and observe what colors are created when the paint mixes together! Once the tubes are painted, allow them to dry until they aren't wet to the touch.
- Help your tot finish the binoculars by cutting a length of string, about one foot in length, and loop and then tie around the two tubes, securing them together.

School boards in Canton and Potsdam plan to vote July 9 on whether to launch an in-depth feasibility study to examine the idea of merging their two districts into a new district that would combine students from both communities.
Both boards are scheduled to hold their annual reorganizational meeting that evening in their respective districts.
The Canton session starts at 6:45 p.m. with an executive session followed by a public session thats expected to begin at 7 p.m. in the high school library. The regular portion of the Potsdam meeting is at 6 p.m. in the schools cafeteria.
During a joint meeting held earlier this month, the two boards reviewed a PowerPoint presentation that identified some of the benefits and challenges of district mergers.
The next step is for both boards to decide whether to begin a comprehensive study to examine the fiscal and educational impacts of a merger. A decision to merge or not would ultimately be determined by voters in both communities through public referendums.
Potsdam School Superintendent Patrick H. Brady and Canton School Superintendent William A. Gregory have said their two districts should consider merging in order to avoid educational and fiscal insolvency.
I think both boards and both communities understand that we need to look at all options, Mr. Brady said Tuesday. Do we know at this point if this is the best option? No, we dont. Thats why you start this process, why you do a feasibility study.
Canton School Board President Barbara B. Beekman agreed.
Until you do the study, you dont have any hard and fast numbers to apply to your decisions. The study would provide that data, Mrs. Beekman said.
State efficiency grants are available to cover a portion of the estimated $50,000 cost of the study.
To expediate the process, Mr. Brady has asked state Sen. Joseph A. Griffo, R-Rome, to get the state to fund Potsdams share through a member item, while Canton has made the same request of state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton.
The study is required to include current and projected data for enrollments, staffing plans and building use plans. A plan for education programs and curricula, a transportation plan and fiscal impacts of the reorganization must be researched.
Both districts have been hit hard over the past five years by funding cuts primarily caused by the states gap elimination adjustments. Since 2010, Potsdam has lost $7.7 million in gap reductions imposed by the state. Next school year, Potsdam Central is slated to get $1.5 million less in state aid than it received five years ago, not counting aid for building projects.
Neighboring Canton Central will see a $1 million reduction compared to the 2008-09 school year. Over the past four years, the district has lost $7.3 million through gap reductions.
During the past several years, Canton has cut 56 teaching and staff jobs while Potsdam Central eliminated about 40 jobs.
Mr. Brady said other smaller districts near Potsdam, such as Parishville-Hopkinton and Colton-Pierrepont, have not faced the same funding crises. Also, those districts have much lower property tax rates, so its unlikely their residents would be eager to merge with Potsdam, he said.
To vote for increased taxes and lose their school districts is not logical, Mr. Brady said.
During the 2012-13 school year, Potsdam Centrals tax rate was $24.18 per $1,000 of assessed property valuation compared with Cantons $19.26 rate.
Mrs. Beekman said combining Canton and Potsdam might work because the two college communities are similar in many ways.
I think Canton and Potsdam are very similar communities compared to some of the other smaller districts, she said. They are more like-minded with a similar demographic. This idea may be something thats embraced.
Revenue shortfalls have collided with rising expenses, particularly in employee health insurance and retirement costs. At the same time, student enrollment has declined or remained stable, and the state has failed to provide significant mandate relief.
In the past, school districts around the state have been resistant to merging their districts for several reasons. Obstacles include greater transportation distances for students, fear of increased costs and property taxes, and concern about job security for school district employees.
Emotional concerns include a fear of losing local identity and a perception that the communities are incompatible. There is also a natural tendency to resist change and a concern that one district will benefit more than another.

When everyone and everything else in their young lives fail them, we are there to save them from the streets—with unconditional love and a door that's open 24/7. Covenant House provides the food, shelter and care they desperately need right now, as well as the support and life skills they need to put their lives on the right track.
Some of the kids who come to us have run away from abusive or neglectful homes, some have been rejected by their families due to teenage pregnancy or revealing their sexual orientation, some have "aged out" of foster care, some have escaped the city's notorious sex trafficking trade, and others grew up in homeless or poverty-stricken families who couldn't afford to care for them once they turned 18. They all share one thing in common; they have turned to Covenant House for help.
Covenant House Georgia is one of the state's few shelters dedicated to serving homeless youth. Browse our website to get an in depth look at our operation and see how we help provide the kids in our care with something many of them have never had in their lives before... hope. But remember, we can't do it without you. We need your help, the youth on the streets of Atlanta need your help.

Now we'll venture inside and see details of the cottage interiors.
Now, back outside and into the woods...
It took forever to digitally re-assemble this background, but the result is certainly gorgeous and worth the hours involved. This artwork is very reminiscent of SNOW WHITE, to me... truly remarkable and breathtakingly beautiful.
There was a pan and zoom during this segment, which makes digital restoration very complicated, but I managed to accomplish the re-assembly, and once again the result was worth the effort.
The final piece is one we don't see in the movie - the last two pieces, which I digitally joined. They obviously belong together, creating a very spectacular pan background. Left and right halves were used for different segments in the film.

If you're looking for the sharpest edge possible we recommend our leather strops. We have found, nothing puts that final edge on a knife better than a leather strop.
Our 12" XL Double Sided Paddle Strop is very versatile tool. We've not found a tool or knife that can't be refined on this strop. The large size accommodates anything you can throw at it. Longer knives like the 12" length while wide tools like planes use the wide 3" width of this strop. The leather accepts honing compounds of various grades. We recommend our Green Honing Compound.
The leather strop isn't new to sharpening but it is still confusing to some. Like a razor strop, the Paddle Strop is used to put a very fine edge on your blade. Barbers have been using leather razor strops for decades to keep an extremely sharp edge on their straight razors. The razor strop is an essential tool for any barber or anyone needing to keep a straight razor sharp enough to shave with. While a razor strop can be used to sharpen a traditional knife, it just isn't the right tool for the job. For putting the final edge on tools and knives, we recommend a Bench Strop. After sharpening your knife or tool on a bench stone, we recommend finishing it off with a bench strop for an extremely sharp edge. Just think of this strop as your finest stone.
The leather area on our 12" XL Paddle Strop measures 12" x 3" in size. The total length of the strop is over 16". Due to the large size and width, this strop is ideal for both tools and knives.
This 2 Sided Paddle Strop has 1 smooth side and 1 suede side. Both sides are shown in the photo above.
Smooth - The smooth leather option is a very firm piece of leather. This leather is selected specifically for the smooth side only. If the leather is too hard, it just doesn't doesn't work well and doesn't accept compound well. If the leather is too soft, it doesn't produce as fine of an edge and won't hold up. This leather is more durable than the softer leathers.
Suede - The suede side uses the opposite side of the leather (it is technically called the flesh side). The leather we use is selected for its flesh side properties. This leather is different leather than our smooth side leather. In our research, the leather that makes a good suede side is different than the leather that makes a good smooth side. Our suede leather is a little softer than the smooth leather. The suede leather accepts compound very readily.
Made with pride in the USA.
Q. Do you recommend using a compound on the strop?
A. Yes, we highly recommend a compound. Our Green Honing Compound will quickly put a fine polish on the edge of knives and tools.
Q. I'm sharpening carving tools, should I choose the rough or the smooth side?
A. We've used both sides and have found either to work very well. That being said, carvers seem to prefer the rough side.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
For a long time, the College of Eastern Utah had the distinction of finding the largest armored dinosaur fossils known to man.
Now, CEU has the right to claim that the distinction of finding the two largest armored dinosaurs that have ever been discovered.
About two weeks ago while digging in a quarry near Moab, CEU Prehistoric Museum director Reese Barrick, his associates and students from Purdue University found some leg fossils.
At first, the members of the crew thought that the front leg fossils were from a Super Notosaur, the largest armored dinosaur known to man.
But a comparison determinied that a fossil unearthed at the dig near Moab was 10 percent larger than the front leg of the Super Notosaur.
"With the size of that bone and some others we have found, we realized that this new find was very important," said Barrick . "This dinosaur was double the size and triple the weight of a Super Notosaur."
The find thrust the CEU Prehistoric Museum and Barrick into the national spotlight last week.
First KSL television picked up on the story, then CNN broadcast the KSL story nationwide last Tuesday.
On May 30, CNN sent a limosine for Barrick so he could be interviewed in Salt Lake City about the find.
"They spent that money and time to take me to Salt Lake for a two minute interview," noted Barrick. "And mostly, they wanted to talk about what the new dinosaur should be named."
Many people thought "tankosaurus" might be the right term to describe the huge dinosaur. Estimates are that the large animal may have weighed between five and six tons.
The prehistoric animal's body was covered with armor, so it was probably invulnerable to the attacks of meat eating dinosaurs, including the Utahraptors which lived about the same time.
"It probably could just hunker down and the attackers couldn't get through," stated Barrick.
However, that doesn't mean the animal wasn't in a few fights or didn't get hurt. The evidence of that lies in a three and a half foot rib bone that Barrick has in a sand display where it is being prepared.
"See this," he pointed to a place where the rib was much thicker. "This is where a break took place at some time in the animal's life. Maybe it happened by accident or maybe it was during mating when it was fighting. Who knows."
The place where the bones were discovered was originally a quarry the University of Utah wanted to explore.
But the U of U turned the site over to CEU because the university lacked the manpower to dig at the quarry and at another nearby location at the same time.
"Utah has a quarter of all the known findings of armored dinosaurs and a lot of those fossils lie in the storage area of this lab," explained Barrick as he walked through the storage areas of the bone lab, where dozens and dozens of fossils lay in storage - some in cabinets and others out in the open.
"We keep running out of room to store the fossils. This was the original storage area. Now, we have a couple of other rooms and they are filling up fast," pointed out Barrick.
The lab at the college in Price currently has fossils from five different armored dinosaurs in storage.
The three most notable examples of historic animals which have fossils housed at the facility are the Gastonia, the Super Notosaur and the new discovery.
One of the things Barrick and many paleontologists are interested in is how the dinosaurs managed to grow as large as the prehistoric animals were in a hostile environment.
"People come here from other places to work on the digs and they always wonder how these animals could have lived in the desert," pointed out the CEU museum director. "The environment in this area at that time was very tropical, not desert."
The tropical environment contained a lot of dangers, yet some of the dinosaurs lived to be quite old.
"Each type of dinosaur had its own patterns of growth," pointed out Barrick. "But fossils show lines of arrested growth and we can tell a lot about the age of a dinosaur by those."
The lines of arrested growth in the individual dinosaurs can be calculated much like the rings can tell a tree's age, according to the CEU museum director.
But the question also comes up about whether planet rotation and trips around the sun were the same 125 million years ago. Could a "ring" mean a growth period of a longer time or shorter time than it would today?
"Four hundred million years ago a year was about 400 days long," pointed out Barrick. "At 125 million years, it was about 370 days, not much different than what we see today."
To date, the paleontologists and assistants have uncovered 25 fossils from the previously unknown specimen.
The CEU museum director indicated that he thinks a total of approximately 200 fossils would need to be found in order to assemble the creature into a complete skeleton.
"The interesting thing about these armored dinosaurs we have been finding is that they are much bigger than their previously judged metabolism would have allowed them to be," said Barrick.
"Some dinosaurs have a high growth metabolism where everything they eat goes to growth," continued the CEU museum director. "We have always considered these guys to have a low metabolic rate like sloths and lizards. To get this big, they would have to have a higher metabolism than we have previously thought."
Like a murder mystery, the clues paleontologist remove from the ground tend to lead to more questions until, finally, something comes along and explains a situation. And there are always more discoveries to be made.
During the last 50 years, paleontology has made leaps and bounds in the growth of knowledge, with scientists from China to South America working in quarries and labs to come up with answers. However, many questions remain unanswered.
"We don't have a lot of answers yet. But we may, someday, be able to come up with how these specimens came to be so large," concluded Barrick.

JETS 5, ISLANDERS 4 (OT) — Isles Lose Two-Goal Lead Late
Preview — Box Score — TOI — Highlights
Kevin Schultz
The Jets would score twice in the last eight minutes of the game to send it to overtime. A David Ullstrom hooking penalty — taken behind the Jets' net on the forecheck no less — would lead to the Jets third goal of the game with about seven minutes to go (other than that, Ullstrom played well and had a goal that we mentioned earlier). Dustin Byfuglien would score on the ensuing power play and send the MTS Centre crowd into a frenzy. From there, the Jets had the momentum and you had the feeling that the Islanders weren't out of the woods yet.
The Islanders have had issues with third period leads over the last two seasons, and that's something that's going to have to change. At some point, it cannot be excused away as youth or inexperience.
Regardless the cause, the result wouldn't change tonight, as Alex Burmistrov caught the Islanders standing around, skated by them, and beat Evgeni Nabokov about a minute after Byfuglien's goal to tie the game. Both teams would have chances late in the period. Andrew MacDonald fed a slap pass from the point to John Tavares in front of the net, but Tavares couldn't handle the pass, as it looked like it took a deflection through traffic. Tavares did his share though, scoring a goal and two assists on the night.
The Jets would win in overtime off an Evander Kane rebound goal. Kane broke in with Olli Jokinen 2-on-1. Jokinen elected to shoot and was stopped by Nabokov, but with the Islanders caught up ice, Kane was able to finish the play before defender Thomas Hickey could break it up.
Next up for the Islanders is a trip to Pittsburgh on Tuesday for their only nationally televised game this season. Following that is a game in New Jersey on Thursday to finish up the five-game road swing. So far the Islanders are 1-1-1 on the trip. Another two points would make for a decent five points on what is certainly a tough road trip early in the season.

Lima Bean Casserole Cassoulet CrockPot Recipe
Day 269.
I googled casserole vs. cassoulet and didn't get a very good answer. Somebody should write an article really laying out the differences---it'd get a lot of hits. In my very (very) limited breadth of knowledge, I'm going to decide that they are the same thing, but cassoulets use beans as a base instead of rice or pasta.
And cassoulet is French, so your coolness factor goes up just by using the word.
I also googled "are lima beans vegetables or beans" and only got an answer about whether or not they are a fruit or vegetable. I can't imagine anyone could really think they are a fruit, but whatever. Growing up, I was certain they were vegetables, because they were greenish and came in a little container swimming in butter at the school cafeteria. And they are in the frozen vegetable section of the grocery store.
But I think they are beans, which are legumes. And this ends pretty much everything I know.
my brain is now empty.
Don't be scared to try lima beans. I got the kids to try them---and my parents each had two bowls.
The Ingredients.
--1 pound of dried lima beans (soaked over night)
--28 oz can diced tomatoes
--2 cups diced ham, or turkey ham
--1 medium yellow onion, chopped
--3 smashed and chopped garlic cloves
--1/2 tsp black pepper
--1 T dried mustard
--1 cup water
The Directions.
Soak the beans overnight in a bunch of cold water. They will expand, so use enough water to cover them at least 4 inches.
In the morning, drain and rinse the beans. Dump into a 4 quart or larger crockpot. Add a fresh cup of water.
Dice up the ham or turkey ham (I think chicken and apple sausages would be good, too) and add on top.
Open the can of tomatoes, and pour in the whole can. Chop the onion and garlic and add. Stir in the spices.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. I cooked our beans for about 7. This is done when the beans are tender. If you cook this too long, the only harm will be that the beans begin to fall apart.
The Verdict.
I really was astonished at how much I liked this. I couldn't get enough, and I'm pretty sure I was annoying Adam by going on and on (and on some more) about how amazing it was that lima beans could taste so good.
Lima beans have been given a bad rap. We should change that.
yes, I'm writing this at 3 in the morning. I couldn't sleep. Should I just be up for the day, or go back to bed. That is the question...

This recipe looks interesting...I've never heard of a cassoulet. See? You learn something new every day. :)
I can't remember the last time I cooked lima beans...it's been a while.

WOW, I am in Okinawa, Japan. When I saw that you just posted this, my thought was "why is she awake". Go back to bed!
I am very anxious to try this. I've never been so excited about cooking before until now. I love to try out your recipes, so far they have all been wonderful. Thanks again, Keep up the good work!!

A cassoulet is a white bean, duck, and sausage dish from SW France. It originated in the region around Carcassonne (a double-walled medieval city that is used in a lot of movies, such as Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves). So a cassoulet is a specific recipe, while a casserole is a generic term for a baked dish.
- September 25, 2008 at 5:25 AM
Oh, I heart lima beans... the only problem is that when I fix this, I will eat the entire thing because everyone else in my family has a lima bean aversion.
Thanks, Steph!!

I love your blog which I discovered recently, but haven't made anything yet because I cracked the insert of my crockpot a few months ago and haven't bought a replacement. Now that things are getting cooler, I want to make soup!!! I had a Rival Smart Pot and never had any problems with it, but I know I hear everyone saying they cook too hot... So, my question, which crockpot do you think I should buy? I'd rather not spend more than 50 or 60 dollars.
Keep up the great work!
- September 25, 2008 at 6:01 AM
As a good Southerner, I love limas! I think I'll have to try this.
And I think you should just stay up, enjoy some time to yourself, then take a nice long nap later in the day. Preferably after a cookie or two.
- September 25, 2008 at 6:03 AM
Hmm. I think cassoulet is more of a hearty thick stew (based on the one cassolet recipe I have)... And casseroles are baked conglomerations of yummy stuff. Both are good to eat.
This sounds tasty. I love limas already, so I think we'll have to try this one. :)
Thanks for all the kitchen inspiration!

- Mommy, the Human Napkin said...
Ooh, I'll have to try this. We love lima beans! My favorite way to cook them is in a crock pot with some salt, pepper, real butter, garlic powder, and a dash or three of Worcestershire sauce. Yum. I use frozen beans and cook them on low all day, about 8 hours or so.
- September 25, 2008 at 6:26 AM
- CherylBCT said...
Well I'm always looking for something new to try. If this one had you going on and on about how good lima beans are it's worth a shot in my kitchen. I do that to my husband too, go on and on about the same topic because I am just so amazed by it, how could everyone in your household not be blown away at how wonderful lima beans can taste?

The ONE and ONLY time I ate Limas was when I was in the hospital{ack!} having my first child! I hadn't had solid food in 3 days at this point, so when they brought in my tray, Lima Beans were on it! I didn't care, I was STARVING!! I would have eaten the silverware! I liked them. Now, I think I need to give them a "fair" chance, don't cha think? This one sounds good! Thanks!

I love you guys. It's now 6:56, and I did lie back down for about an hour. The coffee is strong this morning...
Rixa! you need to write an article explaining this. Can you buy duck in a store? I should make duck.
Michael, I've only used Crock-Pot brand (formerly under the rival label, now they are their own thing) slow-cookers. I am so sorry to hear that your stoneware cracked. I'd get a new one. I have a Smart-Pot I love, a Smart-Set which has cool 30 min intervals and a meat probe (which I've never used because it's too fancy for me, but since you're a guy, I'm going to assume you will like that feature), and according to the new issue of Slow Cooking is now on sale for about $50.
wheat-free db. you're right. I need cookies. Trader Joe's now is selling flour-free double choc chip cookies!
mommy napkin, oh, I'd like to try this! yum.
- September 25, 2008 at 7:01 AM
- MamaChristy said...
Slow Cooking didn't happen to say where the Smart-set is on sale for $50, did they? Best price I've found is $80 and I'm in the market for a new slow cooker. I love mine, but it doesn't have the warm feature (or any kind of timer) so it's about time for a new one...
- September 25, 2008 at 7:45 AM
This may or may not be correct... but when I was growing up, we raised LOTS of lima beans in the garden. When eating them green, we called them lima beans, but when they were left to mature, then dried, we called them butter beans. I absolutely hate lima beans (green) but I love the butter beans! (dried then cooked)
- September 25, 2008 at 8:00 AM
Did you know that there are many forums that are now doing a crock pot challenge?
- September 25, 2008 at 8:09 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Mama Christy, I screwed up. I remembered the ad wrong. What they have in the back of the magazine is a survey where you can win a Cook & Carry (which is what Crock-Pot gave away, here) and it says "retail value" $54.99.
I was way, way wrong. I'm sorry. I should have checked before posting. I have the best luck at Big Box stores. I've seen them at Kohls and Big Lots for not a lot.

you know what I really like about your blog. I love that with every recipe you suggest the size of the crockpot! It takes all the guessing out, and I love that you tell us what size to use. There are so many recipes out there that don't list the size of the pot and it makes me bonkers!

That looks really tasty! I'm so glad I found your site, although I have to admit I can't remember how I got here. I love my crock pot. Its a great time saving device for those of us who are incurably lazy!

Lima beans are beans/legumes. Butter beans are a type of lima bean.

the name of this dish cracks me up. i guess u just couldn't decide between the two. haha. but about beans. i always thought that they were vegetables. i feel so stupid now that beans are just their own group

You can feel free to file this in the "Who Cares" category, but this is how I used to explain it to my biology students.
If what we're eating is from the vegetative part of the plant (root, stem or leaf), then it is a vegetable.
If what we're eating is from the reproductive parts of the plant (flower, fruit or seed), then it is a fruit. Basically, if it has seeds or is the actually seed (like corn) it is a fruit. This would mean that tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, zucchini, cucumber are all fruit (from a scientific standpoint) due the presence of the seeds.
Legumes...they're a different story.
My daughter loves limas. I'll have to try this!
- September 25, 2008 at 10:11 AM
Sent crockpot cassoulet to the wrong recipe. Sorry.
- September 25, 2008 at 10:17 AM
Let me tell you that I really love your blog. I have tried so many of your recipes, and have enjoyed them ~ especially the tomatoes with goat cheese! I am already concerned about this year ending. I really think you should consider "two years of crockpotting". It would be much more challenging, plus if you stop, you will really miss us!
I have a question for you. Recently, I got a 4 qt crockpot. My 6 qt crockpot that I have had forever has a removable insert that I can soak in water and clean in the sink. The new 4 qt crockpot is one piece. How do you clean it without getting the outside wet?
- September 25, 2008 at 10:19 AM
I found this recipe and immediately thought of you :) I know a while back you were on an apple spree, lol, but this looked yummy and I thought you might enjoy it.
Slow-cooked praline apple crisp
6 medium-size crisp tart apples (Granny Smith or Braeburn), peeled if desired, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices (about 6 cups)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup toffee bits
Ice cream, if desired
1. Spray 3- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In large bowl, mix apples and cinnamon to coat. Place in slow cooker.
2. In medium bowl, mix oats, brown sugar, flour and butter with pastry blender or fork until crumbly. Stir in pecans and toffee bits. Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over apples.
3. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 4 to 6 hours. Serve apple crisp with ice cream.

They are beans, but (According to wikipedia, and this makes me laugh) they are eaten as vegetables. But they are still beans. In many countries beans are eaten as a side dish, in America we think sides are veggies. Especially if its a green scary looking thing on your plate in grade school.
- September 25, 2008 at 12:09 PM
- MamaChristy said...
Thanks so much or the correction! I'm willing to pony up if I have to, but I wanted the snazzy one for $50 if I could get it. ;)
- September 25, 2008 at 12:22 PM
This sounds de-lish! Do you think it would work with smoked pork hocks? I have some in the freezer I need to use up...
- September 25, 2008 at 1:12 PM
- Stephanie said...
Like Risha said, anything from the reproductive part of the plant is fruit. Legumes (and also peanuts!) are actually the seeds of their plants, and so count as fruits.
This recipe looks delicious. I have never cooked limas from dry, usually I only have them frozen and have never really cared for them. But I may have to get some dry lima beans and try this out!
- September 25, 2008 at 1:41 PM
I agree with rixa on the cassoulet. I was actually in carcassonne, fr a couple years ago and cassoulet is the featured item on every single menu. We figured we had to try it, and it wasn't too bad. It doesn't have to be made with duck though, we saw it with pork, goose, and some other random meats. I thought it was made with white beans there, but I don't remember for sure. I might have to try this recipe and see how it compares!
- September 25, 2008 at 1:53 PM
- Brenda said...
I love lima beans or butter beans...maybe it has something to do with the size? I make a cassoulet with Great Northern Beans (cannellini), turkey kielbasa, and bell pepper that is sooooooo good! It can be made in the crockpot but is also very quick to make for dinner.
by the way, I'm a new reader and love your recipes. I use my crockpot a few times a week. It's so nice to come home to dinner that is ready to eat.
- September 25, 2008 at 2:00 PM
Ever read A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon? It is a children's book about a girl who wants and loves to eat lima beans, but doesn't want to b/c of how people will treat her. So she avoids limas and then develops a very peculiar case of stripes....and the stripes go away once she eats her lims beans!
BTW, LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog!

I may be completely wrong here, but from a botanical perspective, I think most vegetables *are* fruits, with exceptions beings the veggies that are parts like roots, tubers, and leaves.
I am *thrilled* to see some lima bean recipes! I need an excuse to eat them more than once/year - thanks!

This will get made as soon as we quit feeding my sister and her husband. My sister refuses to eat beans unless she can put cheese on them which pretty much means refried beans are the only ones she'll eat. The rest of us love beans especially butter beans so this fits the bill wonderfully.

Hi Stephanie! What a fabulous post. It made me want to know the difference between a Casserole and a Cassoulet.
The Expatriate's Kitchen is a fabulous blog, and she says:
It is important to note that a cassoulet is NOT a casserole. A casserole is mainly an American dish that is cooked in a French pan. A cassoulet is a French dish usually cooked in a Dutch oven. Makes perfect sense, right?
Actually, the French have taken things much further. The ingredients of a cassoulet are mandated, yes mandated to be 70 percent duck and pork, which can be sausage, but cannot be chicken, ever, and 30 percent of vegetables and other ingredients that must include primarily white beans. It must also have seven layers of browned bread crumb topping. Unlike American casserole, it never, ever, includes cream of something soup or crushed cornflake topping. Okay, the last part was my mandate. But I am sure the French would agree.
Good finishing the year. You're almost through!

I agree with you that it would be weird to think of a bean as a fruit. However, I do believe that the foundation of this food myth may well lie in the old childrens' rhyme:
Beans, beans, the magical fruit,
The more you eat, the more you toot!
The more you toot, the better you feel,
Beans, beans, for every meal.
This rhyme is the nicer version of the more popular one:
Beans, Beans, are good for your heart, the more you eat, the more you ...
I'm happy to have added to this very cerebral and academic discussion.

With fall upon us, and knowing how my family loves limas, AND how thrifty they are, I'll be trying this one this week. I'm sure it'll be a hit with my family!
It looks so good, I added a link to this recipe on my blog. Hope you don't mind. :)
- September 28, 2008 at 3:45 PM
would you cook the chicken & apple sausages b/f putting them in the crockpot? Or uncooked?
- September 28, 2008 at 5:06 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi anon! I'm pretty sure the chicken and apple sausage I use (Aidell's) is fully cooked already. But even if it isn't, this was plugged in long enough for raw chicken to cook fully.

- Melissa Henning said...
Hi Stephanie. I am in the process of cooking this right now. It smells AWESOME! (said like DJ Lance on Yo! Gabba Gabba). I have been peeking on it and stirring it up every 1.5 hours or so, and I am noticing it's getting very liquid-y...did it do this to you too? I still have about 3 hours left (to reach the 6 hour point on slow).
PS I am excited to make the honey cake! Sounds delicious!
- September 29, 2008 at 3:33 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Melissa! Yo Gabba Gabba is actually ON right now! at our house! trippy!
I think liquid did accumulate, but after being unplugged, the beans absorbed the excess. The next day, there wasn't a drop of liquid. Are the beans tender?
you might want to just flip to warm if they are already fully cooked.

A yummy recipe for fall! I love beans, they're so affordable and a great way to get in affordable protein. We would love to feature your recipe on our blog and possibly our digital recipe reader. Please email me at email@example.com if you're interested. Have a great week ahead :). Sophie

Anon again (who asked about the chicken & apple sausage). Anyway, I soaked the lima beans while I was at work today. I'm going to cook this tomorrow. My question is did you shell the lima beans? (I think shell is the right term?) Some of my beans lost the shell and some didn't. Do I (sigh) need to pick out the shells or shell all the beans? I looked at your picture close up and I don't see any shells.
- September 30, 2008 at 7:06 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Jessica,
don't worry about it. I usually pick out any beans that look weird, but the few beans that came unshelled, I just ignored. It will all cook together okay.
I hope you like it!

- Allison said...
Thanks again Crock Pot Lady for another great recipe wherever you are!! I am trying your candy chicken tonight for my pickiest of picky kids who would never eat lima beans unless I paid them cold hard cash. . . hmmmmm. (but I am adding Mountain Dew, instead of sprite because that is what we have and I don't want to take a shower and go to the store this morning!) Wish me lucky with the Mt. Dew candy chicken!

- Charisa said...
ok, this is a comment that's a little overdue. I'm thinking of making this tomorrow. Would you think that turkey bacon would work instead of ham? Would you cut it up raw and put it in there to cook in the crock or maybe skillet cook it first and pour the "juices" in crock along with the cooked bacon?
- October 27, 2008 at 8:48 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
ooh. good question. If you aren't opposed to cooking the bacon on the stove, I'd do that and then add it to the pot (you can add the drippings if you'd like, but I don't think it's necessary) for the whole cooking time.
I really liked this, and hope you do, too!
- October 27, 2008 at 9:32 AM
- razberiswrl said...
I'm eating this RIGHT NOW. It is GOOD! I used a pound of thick cut bacon, diced, cooked crisp, fat drained instead of ham. I also added salt, about 1/2 tsp. Everyone likes this, even the hard to please man. My mother in law is in the kitchen getting more ... LOL!
- October 29, 2008 at 3:23 PM
an excellent hot dish for the heart of america--rugby, north dakota. we grow limas and other beans up here on the ultra, north-central prairie of the US.
also, i'll pass your recipe along to the church ladies since most are old enough to appreciate and like lima beans. ;o)

Saw you on ABC.com this am. Went to get your recipes and love your website. Thanks. Saw your question about casserole vs. cassoulet. A few months ago I was thinking I was in the mood for a good bean stew so I googled cassoulet............... Very involved, days to make. One day, when I am in France, I will order it and try it then.
- February 19, 2009 at 11:00 AM
I made this today, in a veganized and lazified version. It was mostly successful, especially in the taste department!
I used vegan apple sage sausage instead of the meat (next time I would cut it into smaller pieces, since it expanded in the crock). I used italian style canned tomatoes and skipped the spices, and I didn't soak the beans. I added some extra water instead (I put in 2 14.5-oz cans worth of water) to make up for that, but it was too much. It tasted delicious, but there's a LOT of liquid in there - I've got it on high with the lid off right now to try to evaporate some of the water before I put the leftovers in the fridge.
- March 26, 2009 at 3:18 PM
The cassoulet is a very old recipe originally from the Roman Emperium. It is common in the part of France called Languedoc. The cassoulet is made with white kidney beans and a lot of different meat. In my recipe the cassoulet is made with 4 different cuts of pork (some boiled, some roasted), roasted duck, goosemeat (confitte), roasted lamb, smoked sausage, the soup from the pork, chicken soup, tomatoes, celery, onion, herbs and - of course - the beans. It takes about two days making it. And it is a heavy stew!
- June 6, 2009 at 1:00 PM
I know this is an old post, but I thought I would add- biologically there is no such thing as a vegetable. Any plant known commonly as a vegetable is always really a legume or tuber or fruit or modified root system or whatever else. So it's sort of funny that people are commenting, "oh I feel dumb that a lima bean is really a bean, not a vegetable" since it can be both in the common sense and never was in the technical sense.
Anyway, I just think it's interesting. Also, I think it's funny that a common trivia question is that some nuts are really seeds (such as the hazelnut). All true nuts are a type of seed (I say true because a peanut is techinically a legume).
Anyway. Yay crockpotting!
- July 31, 2009 at 1:03 PM

I just wanted to add that I made this and it took an insanely long time for the lima beans to cook. I wondered if it was the salt in the ham? I can't cook any beans in any shred of salt (I buy water because our tap water is softened) or they take a billion years to cook. I used ham off a ham hock and this took over 12 hours on low (I turned it up to high at one point too). It was kind of uneven by then because it needed more liquid. Not sure what happened, but thought I'd let the other crock pot lovers out there know.

I talk so much about slow cooking that my neighbor who works for Hamilton Beach got me a big fancy programable slow cooker. We used it today to make this dish. Added some turkey sausage on top for a complete meal.
Yum! This winter is all about dried beans.

Hi Stephanie - Could I cook these on high, and for how many hours? Thank you! I've made it a few times and it's always been a hit. I just put it in the crockpot right now and would love to not wait for it til midnight tonight!

Hi @Tracy-- yes, I think you could, but I'm not exactly sure how long. I'd check after 3 hours and stir well to redistribute the lima beans. Once they are bite tender, take them off (maybe around 4 hrs? 5?)
or set an alarm and have a midnight snack! :-)

Thank you for your comment! I will try my hardest to answer questions as they come up, but if your question gets buried, you may try me on twitter or facebook.
Happy Slow Cooking!

Have you dreamed of completing a degree begun long ago? Is it overwhelming to consider beginning or returning to
school after serving, working or engaging in a variety of learning-based projects over several years? You may be
able to earn college credit for employment and other life learning activities. Through job related skills and training,
independent study, volunteerism, travel, reading, listening, observing, and trying new skills, you have continued to
grow and learn.
Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) is a process that enables learners to demonstrate what they have learned, usually
through life and work experiences, and have that learning assessed for college credit.
Most departments offer the option of challenging courses; however, not all courses are challengeable. At
Spokane Falls Community College, students who wish to apply for a course challenge must be interviewed and approved
through the instructional department. >
You will be assessed through the course challenge process that will determine the degree to which you have met the
learning outcomes of the course challenged. This could be a test, but it could also be a demonstration, written documentation,
oral interview, or other appropriate method by which the assessor determines your understanding of the subject matter.
Your grade and credits will be transcripted the quarter in which they were earned.
If you have taken courses at other institutions or received training through military or apprenticeship programs, you
might also request an evaluation of your transcripts to determine possible "transfer in" credit.
Knowledge that is current and corresponds to courses taught at the college may be assessed for college credit. Your
level of competence should be comparable to that of students in regular courses, including both theoretical and practical
knowledge of the subject. It must be possible to evaluate what you know and can do.
You will build on what you already know and can do, avoiding duplicating coursework already completed outside of the traditional
classroom. Often, the time to degree completion is shortened and expenses are reduced. The combination of prior or experiential
learning with classroom learning provides a more coordinated program of study.
Many colleges and universities accept credits earned through course challenges. To avoid disappointment, it is recommended that
you check with the receiving institution before beginning the course challenge or special project processes.
Review the descriptions of the courses offered at Spokane Falls Community College. To determine if the course you would like
challenge is challengeable, contact the PLA Coordinator below.
The next step is to complete the PLA form and pay for the attempted credits. Payment for attempted credits must be
completed in advance. PLA fees are for the attempt to successfully complete the credits, not for passing the credits.
Access payment and form information from the Online Catalog website.
Students may also pursue credit by PLA Portfolio must enroll in and successfully complete a portfolio class (GENST 105 or equivalent).
Students should have justification for their requests, such as a high school or college transcripts or detailed resumes and other pertinent
documentation, prior to enrolling in the course. Normal credit charges apply for the portfolio course and a prior learning portfolio assessment
fee will be charged upon portfolio course completion for prior learning credit awarded.
A PLA Portfolio is detailed documentation illustrating what students have been taught and successfully mastered. The required documentation varies
from course to course, but may include samples of work, an essay explaining students' experiences and knowledge, or certificates showing successful
completion of workshops or seminars.
In the portfolio class, faculty and staff members will help determine which courses are the best fit for the students' skills and will help
develop student portfolios. The completed portfolio will be reviewed to determine what credit can be awarded. Once the number of credits
attempted is determined, students must pay the appropriate Prior Learning Portfolio Assessment fee.

The Relations Between Religion and Science: Eight Lectures Preached Before the University of Oxford in the Year 1884 on the Foundation of the Late Rev. John Bampton, M.a.by Temple, Frederick
Cambridge Univ Pr
Questions About This Book?
What version or edition is this?
This is the 1st edition with a publication date of 7/20/2009.
What is included with this book?
- The New copy of this book will include any supplemental materials advertised. Please check the title of the book to determine if it should include any CDs, lab manuals, study guides, etc.
In 1884 the long-running annual series of Bampton Lectures at the University of Oxford was given by Frederick Temple, at that time Bishop of Exeter. He had earlier been a prominent educational reformer, headmaster at Rugby School and chaplain to Queen Victoria, and he later rose to become Archbishop of Canterbury. This book contains his Bampton Lectures on The Relations between Religion and Science - perhaps the most passionately debated topic of that time. He discusses the apparent conflict between scientific and religious beliefs on various topics including free will, knowledge, evolution, and supernatural power, but concludes that science and religion are not foes, but counterparts, and that neither is complete without the other. His contribution in this area is of lasting importance in the history and philosophy of science.

Fifteen years ago Iris Howe put down her clay, sold her kiln and wheel and let the muse rest for a while. She and her husband Aaron moved from Nevada to Price. They became enthralled with the desert country of the San Rafael and spent many hours exploring the area. Nine Mile Canyon was a favorite destination. Hiking and exploring on weekends was key to surviving the week. Iris became active in a Tuesday hiking group but it wasn't long before the muse was back pushing at Iris to do something to get her impressions down on what she was seeing and experiencing.
Inspired by her hero, Georgia O'Keefe, and all the red rock country, Iris signed on for an oil painting class at CEU with Cliff Bergera.
Howe has shown her work at the CEU Prehistoric Museum Art Gallery, at the Rio in Salt Lake, the Helper Arts Festival, Rosie's Deli and in the Glenwood Springs annual Spring Art Show.
"Let's all go down and sign up for the ceramics program at CEU," said a friend of hers last year. "It will be fun!"
Iris thought about it for two seconds and joined in. Having been a studio potter steeped in functional ware and exacting standards Iris took the opportunity to approach clay with a purely nonfunctional and fun attitude.
Ceramics Department teacher Blaine Atwood did not mind having a few advanced students around horning in on his class. It was not long before he and Iris had hatched a plan to dig a hole on her land and do an ancient form of firing called a pit fire. Iris had been deeply influenced by the pot chards, dwellings and rock art she had been exposing herself to. This led her to a primitive method of forming and firing her pieces.
"The pit fire is full of surprises, you can plan and try to figure what will happen but the fire always does just as it pleases, very rarely does it disappoint," says the artist.
Iris Howe's work will be on display in a group exhibit, the Art and Culture of Castle Country at the CEU Prehistoric Museum Art Gallery.
This show will feature art and folk art from the area and the committee is now seeking artists to be part of the exhibit. "Passing down of art through the ages" is the theme, and Pearl Oliver is guest curator for the three-month show, scheduled to kickoff in October.
"We are looking for art that expresses the many faces and cultural diversity of Carbon and Emery Counties," said Oliver, explaining that the deadline for submissions is September 13. The show will include a broad range of art work, including three dimensional art and possibly literary works.
Local artists are encouraged to call Oliver at 637-2770 or the CEU Prehistoric Museum at 637-5060 with questions or applications.

Janice Heiss interviews Adam Bien in a new Sun Developer Network article. Adam's opening statement: 'Good UI controls and layout are the key to success. JavaFX was very strong from the beginning in effects and graphics. It was, however, initially lacking in good, "skinnable" components, but this was fixed with version 1.2. JavaFX requires writing less code while it integrates very well with existing business logic written in Java. A reason to go the JavaFX route is better maintainability, and faster development with less code...'

Although in the EJB specs there's a Timer service, where Session Beans can be scheduled to run at intervals through annotations as well as programmatically, the schedule and intervals to execute the jobs have to be pre-determined during development time and Glassfish does not provide the framework and the means to do that out-of-the-box. So it is left to the developer to code that functionality or to choose a 3rd party product to do that..."

Jim Wright interviews Mario Fusco, creator of the Lambdaj Project, in this java.net Community Corner 2009 podcast, recorded at JavaOne: "Lambdaj is a library that makes easier to manipulate collections in a pseudo-functional and statically typed way. In our experience to iterate over collection, especially in nested loops, is often error prone and makes the code less readable. The purpose of this library is to alleviate these problems employing some functional programming techniques but without losing the static typing of java. We impose this last constraint to make refactoring easier and safer and allow the compiler to do its job. In a word, lambdaj partially eliminates the burden to write (often nested and poorly readable) loops while iterating over collections by allowing to filter, convert, group, aggregate and sort their items without to write a single explicit loop."

OGDENSBURG County legislators are coming to the city this week to discuss a plan that would restore the fund balance and reduce property taxes.
If state legislators approve home rule legislation, St. Lawrence County would be able to raise its sales tax from 3 percent to 4 percent; under the current plan, the city would be asked to keep its current 6.4 percent share of the sales tax receipts.
If the county raises its sales tax, it looks like theyll be able to lower property taxes within two years, City Councilor Daniel E. Skamperle said. That is the important thing, to be able to lower property taxes. We would like to do that in Ogdensburg, along with streamlining some of our agencies.
The proposal already has gained support from the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce.
County legislators will be in Ogdensburg on Thursday night to discuss that proposal and to lobby the City Council to support home rule legislation that would permit the county tax rate hike.
With a sales tax increase and if the city agreed to its current share and the towns and villages received 10 percent of the increase the county tax levy could drop 14.3 percent in 2014. The 2013 county tax levy increase was 14.4 percent.
Under a 2009 agreement with the city, the county keeps half of what it collects in sales tax and distributes what is left to towns and villages after the city takes its cut. The county is proposing to change the percentage distributed to towns and villages, but only of the proposed sales tax increase.
Legislators will present resolutions supporting home rule and the sales tax increase, Mr. Skamperle said.
It looks like basic resolutions supporting home rule in terms of being able to raise the sales tax. Another is a state resolution allowing home rule, he said.
For some council members, any plan that would increase Ogdensburgs revenue and alleviate the tax burden on property owners is welcome.
This might be a blessing in disguise for the city, Councilor Wayne L. Ashley said. As far as Im concerned, the agreement will still have to stay the same as it is. I wont support anything that is going to jeopardize our percentage of the sales tax.
Mr. Ashley said that based on previous years estimates, if Ogdensburgs percentage stayed the same, it could reap more than $750,000 in additional sales tax revenues, enabling it to reduce its property tax levy 16.3 percent from a 2013 level of $4,604,457.
Mr. Skamperle said his support was contingent on Ogdensburg being able to maintain or increase its percentage of receipts.
I certainly dont want to take a cut, he said. I would only agree to it if the city would get its share.
However, Councilor William D. Hosmer said the proposal does not go far enough to cut costs and lower property taxes.
