While cherries are one of our favorites to eat fresh, you know this pioneer mamma had to put some up into preserves. My low sugar no pectin cherry jam recipe is the way jam should be. High on flavor instead of bucket fulls of sugar.
I had the pleasure of hosting a canning party with another mom and we knocked out two batches of jam and two runs of canned cherries. Not bad considering there were five kids running in and out and we did it in five hours.
We used Rainier cherries, which are considered a sweet cherry. They're actually a cross between a Van and a Bing cherry. Whenever you pick cherries, be sure to leave the stem on, until just ready to use. Once you remove the stem, you allow oxygen into the cherry and it will turn brown and break down faster.
Pioneering Today Low Sugar No Pectin Cherry Jam
6 cups sweet cherries (any variety of sweet cherry will work)
2 & 1/2 to 3 cups sugar (depending on how sweet your cherries are and your preference)
4 tablespoons lemon juice
Wash, remove stems, and pit cherries. I used my mother's antique cherry pitter, but if you've got a lot of cherries to pit, this Progressive International GPC-5000 Cherry-It Multiple Cherry Pitter
would make things go much quicker.
Roughly chop up cherries. I used The Pampered Chef Cutting Edge Food Chopper to make this part go faster. Place chopped cherries in a large stock pot. Add 1/2 cup water to cherries. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. You'll see the cherries begin to break down and thicken.
Stir in sugar and lemon juice, mixing well. Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Sugar will scorch quickly if not kept moving. Boil, uncovered, till thick, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into hot sterilized jars. Note: It's set when it sticks to the back of a metal spoon. This is called sheeting. Look at the jam dripping off the edge of the spoon. It should look like a "sheet" of jam, not a bunch of individual drops. Cherry jam is not meant to be extremely thick. It's a thinner jam, excellent on pancakes, waffles, toast, etc.
Wipe rims with a damp towel, put on lids and bands. Submerge in hot water bath and process for 15 minutes. Take off of heat and let sit for 5 minutes before moving to a folded towel. Let sit for at least 12 hours before checking seals on jars. Then store in a cool dark place for up to a year. If any jars didn't set, store in fridge.
Make 3 pints or 6 jelly jars.

We had this on fresh bread last night for a snack and it was soooo good. Don't throw those pits away either. Place them in jar and then cover with vinegar. Put in a dark cupboard for a few weeks and you'll have cherry pit vinegar. It's supposed to give a cherry almond flavor. Mines stills seeping, so I can't tell you the end result yet.

I tried to buy material from a vendor who said they'd give me a 3% cash discount if I paid by check & not credit card. Over the phone, I read the vendor the digits off the bottom of my check & the check #. They were supposed to charge me $620 & mail me material. Instead they debited my account for $62,000 & sent me a box of rocks. They then charged my account an additional $20,000 by making up another, 2nd, check #. BofA said they will not help out at all & this is between me & the vendor. The vendor is fraudulent & does't really exist. Thus, I'm out the $82,000 & the BofA offers no support at all! This fraudelent vendor could have taken every last penny I had in the bank...BofA could care less & offers no recourse or protection. NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR INFO or you could lose every penny in the account!
The mortgage is my only account with boa. Do not think i will use them again.
10. 16. 11- purse was stolen. Reported to mckinney pd. Called boa to report debit card stolen. They asked if i had a checkbook or deposit slips in purse. When i said no, they did not ask if i wanted to close out my account, they just said that they would send me a new debit card. They are the experts. In my mind, they should have recommended this. 10. 28. 11-someone has committed check fraud on our account.
Multiple checks for over $900 written & cashed at the bank. Called bank on 10. 27 about a charge of $993. 00. They told me that there was nothing that they could do until it cleared. Called on 10. 27 because there were similar charges of $977, $991, $994, $994, & $995 pending for today. I was told that the check from yesterday was cashed and then returned due to insufficient funds. It was cashed in a branch. I did not do this nor did my husband, so they said that i needed to report fraud at bank of america called and got raul and had to go through everything again (very frustrating).
Then raul tells me that i am talking to "electronic fraud", not "paper check fraud". He gave me a number to call, and i asked if he could transfer me so that i did not have to tell the whole story again. He transferred me but did not tell rose any of what i told him and there were no notes in my account, even though i had called several times. Rosie said that i must have had a deposit slip or check in my wallet because someone had created a checking account. I insisted that i only had a check card in my purse.
I asked why it was not recommended that i close my account when i reported my purse stolen on 10. 19 and she said that they won't suggest it unless i had a check stolen. 10. 29-went into branch in rockwall. Got checks printed out that came from someone else's account. Called the woman whose checks were stolen to let her know, and i also left a voicemail for the detective. Spoke to charity and missy (she used to work in the fraud department). She explained tha

Looking for inspiration from those that have made it? With Christmas coming there are plenty of 'I did it this way' type books hitting the shelves along side traditional winners, but they all cost money.
The Entrepreneurs' Organization have linked with online learning resource site Alison.com to create a free online course entitled Stone Soup – based on the book of the same name by serial entrepreneur's Bill Liao's.
The course launched this week includes sections on:
• what it takes to become an entrepreneur
• how to start an enterprise
• effective team development
• adapting as your organisation grows
Australian Liao is a member of The Entrepreneurs' Organization – an invitation only body with 7,500 business owner members in 38 countries – and founder of Xing.com a social networking site for business professionals and neo.org designed to empower global thinking and action on climate change and making the world a better place.
The book's sub-title is 'The secret recipe for making something from nothing' which seems even more pertinent given the current global financial position and the fact that the course is being offered for free.
We've not had time to test the course properly but from the opening modules that we have tried it does appear to have a novel holistic-type approach to business. Well worth a try for free.
Have you tried the course or read the book? What are your opinions?

Patient's Genes May Impact Hepatitis C Outcomes
WebMD News Archive
Vital Information:
- Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is transmitted via blood transfusion, IV drug use, or sexual contact and can cause a variety of ills, including a mild infection, liver disease, or liver cancer.
- A new study shows that genetic factors influence which HCV patients will have a self-limiting type infection or a more persistent infection.
- This new information could help patients in the future, but for now they must rely on many experimental treatments, none of which can kill the virus.

Video: NYPD officer rants at group of men
Sgt. Lesly Charles told a group of Brooklyn men to pay him proper respect
By Kirstan Conley
NEW YORK — A uniformed NYPD sergeant was caught on video unleashing a vulgar tirade against a group of Brooklyn men — threatening them with his gun even while condoning their criminal behavior, The Post has learned.
Sgt. Lesly Charles even indicated that some criminal activity is apparently OK on his beat — as long as he's paid proper respect.

The U.S. Defense Department has developed a network architecture that will give its research test and evaluation community new radio spectrum-enhancing capabilities. Once fully operational, the Telemetry Network System will provide its installations' computer networks with a wideband wireless capability that covers hundreds of square miles. As a result, flight test centers will be able to dynamically adjust the spectrum required for test vehicles. In addition, the technology will enable program managers and aircraft manufacturer personnel to monitor tests from off site.
According to the military and its partners, for the United States to succeed in the Global War on Terrorism, they must be able to share biometrics information across a network-centric environment. To that end, personnel at various agencies are developing new architectures and streamlining methods to identify terrorists based on their unique characteristics, and they are putting systems in place to efficiently share that information. The most useful pieces of a variety of stovepipe systems already in place are being combined to create a synchronized joint program.
Significant individual technology advances are being harnessed to facilitate effective cognitive computing systems. These information system technologies focus on a common application that radically improves the way computers support human beings. A cognitive system is emerging that can reason, learn from experience, be told what to do, explain its actions and respond robustly to surprise.
Critical actionable military data obscured by foreign languages and often masked in large volumes of different types of media are both highly important and perishable. The global deployment of a dozen monitoring systems is enabling software applications to transcribe and translate both text and speech and distill large volumes of information in multiple languages, including Arabic and Chinese.
Technologies developed for the new Network Centric Radio System will provide reliable, mobile and secure backbone battlefield communications. Designed for use with a maneuver force, the system's ad hoc capability dynamically reconfigures itself to maintain network connectivity automatically. Vehicles in the network can communicate routinely whenever within range of each other without manual configuration.
Built for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions, the new A160 Hummingbird unmanned helicopter is designed to fly autonomously with a high-altitude endurance of 20 hours. This aerodynamically clean platform rivals fixed-wing aircraft performance to employ a suite of sensors, including foliage penetration radar that unmasks hidden troops and vehicles.
An airborne sensor system that provides standoff and persistent wide-area surveillance of dismounted troops and vehicles moving through foliage holds the potential to change the scope of warfare. Mounting this sensor beneath an unmanned helicopter would enable identification of possible ambush sites. This small radar also denies concealment and sanctuary to enemy units hiding in wooded areas or moving in the open during darkness or adverse weather.
Promising advances in integrated circuit technologies such as nanowires, molecular electronics and fault tolerant architectures could help alleviate industry needs in designing and fabricating computer chips. New emerging technologies and approaches generally unknown to industry will be urgently required within six or seven years to help sustain continuing progress in dense integrated circuit production.
An engine of innovation, the Defense Research Projects Agency's Microsystems Technology Office relentlessly drives down the size, weight and power requirements of ever-higher-performance electronic components. Its development of semiconductor materials for innovative electronic devices places this organization on the cusp of major breakthroughs with next-generation communication, radar, electronic warfare, imaging and sensor systems.
A new class of mechanical devices with embedded electronics will allow personnel to access maintenance panels and equipment in aircraft and other platforms rapidly and without the use of tools. The technology permits the remote closing, locking and unlocking of fasteners via wireless handheld devices. The fasteners also are equipped with sensors to report their status and that of the structures immediately surrounding them, offering the potential for smart logistics and vehicle diagnostic systems.

How long will we have to wait for Verizon FIOS to upgrade their existing clunky oversize "set top" boxes to allow Picture in PIcture (PIP)? Since we are told the existing set top boxes cannot provide PIP, why not just offer us PIP hungry customers a different box, like the Scientific American's.
Its high time for Verizon to not drop the ball on this one. If the existing boxes cannot handle such a simple function that Comcast customers in my area have had for years, I will be forced to switch to Comcast to resolve this. I bought a TV with PIP functionality deliberately, like so many others have. If the digital age involves rolling back technologies, why did we switch again?
I am forced to presume Verizon FIOS wants me to rent yet another box and split the signal before it enters my set top box,, and live with SD and a limited channel lineup and no guide. Nope. Its like we are still in the stone age. Why is there a PIP button on my remote, anyways?
Its also high time to abandon the name set top box. If a single customer can get the set top box on top of the existing flat panel high definition TV, please post a picture so we can all get a good laugh.
How about the NASA channel(s). That one is free and you do not have to fight over rights to air it. It has only been asked for like the past three years.
Currently all Verizon DVR external storage devices are "married" to a particular home DVR. If for any reason that DVR requires replacement, the only way to preserve content stored on the external device is to make real-time hard copies to another device such as a DVD or Blu-Ray recorder. Judging from the many forum posts on this subject, users are not happy with this situation.
Recently I learned from another forum member that this situation was addressed by Dish in the following manner. Originally Dish external drives were married to a particular DVR. According to information in the forums, Dish later "divorced" the external drive from the DVR and "re-married" it to the user's account. This means the external drive can be used to play recorded content on any DVR properly registered with the account, including replacement devices.
This seems like a solution worth investigating, particularly since Verizon has promised to release an entirely new system called Verizon Media Server. Why not include this feature from the start?.
We have had service with Verizon for years and the account has been in my husband's name. Recently he passed away and I called to have a name change. This change is treated as a termination of one account and start of a new service plan under the new name. Even though I was told it would be seamless I lost Internet and Fios service for a few hours. I even had a technician show up to install my "new Fios" when in fact I already had it. Then I got a survey over the phone regarding the installation. I believe there has to be a better way to just make a name change than to go through the process of a new account and a lot of unnecessary time and effort.
I'm disappointed that Verizon only allows you to only scan 2x the rate when you are watching Video on Demand content.

"Here is the final word from the TCM Programming Department in response to my question about their HD Content posted during a "People Behind the Network Forum" held at 15.30 hours, PDT, at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on Friday afternoon, 23 April, 2010:TCM currently up-converts all content on the HD feed at this time and will begin to feed actual HD content to the HD feed within the year. Their initial objective was to get the HD feed in place and then, as they can acquire HD prints from the studios; HD prints for the licensed content which they own outright, and HD prints for future programming; begin to feed HD and down-convert for the SD feed.The reason for the long lead time is that some of the rights to the films are negotiated as far as three years out. While normal programming is done between 5 and 7 months out - they are currently programming general content for September / October 2010 - special circumstances, such as significant dates in history, director or actor's birthdays, or other events can require planning as much as five years in advance."
When will TCM have their HD feed "in place" at FIOS? Hopefully before they start their Halloween programming.
The Cablevision and Tie Warner apps that let you stream live tv must be used within the home network. There is no point in using that app unless you are in the bathroom or outside. Please develop an app that lets us use the app away from our home network.
Verizon clearly has the capability and network to stream more data/video to smartphones. Since I can already log in to my DVR box to control recordings, why not push video that is already recorded back to my phone. It would be one more way Verizon could stay ahead of the competition.
Reading the comments of 1.9 over the forums and Twitter, I see a lot of people complaining about the guides font size. Some are saying the font is too small, and some are saying the full screen guide can fit even more if the font was smaller. Personally, I find the font size in 1.9 to be fine where it is.
So what I propose is the ultimate solution, which WILL SATISFY EVERYONE! Why not code in and offer font size options? Other providers are currently testing font size customizations in their next-gen guide, leaving it in the hands of the customer to find their ideal font size.
And while were at it, there really should be options for almost every conceivable setting, because everyone is different and how else could you please everyone? I know that might be a pipe dream, but it's something to strive for!
A Pandora internet radio Widget would be nice. With the 1.8 and 1.9 updates and Pandora your DVR would be better then Tivo.
It would be great if I could see what is scheduled to record on the Multi-Room DVR in my den on the STB in my bedroom. Typically I watch TV in the bedroom at night, and never see that my shows are scheduled to record (even though they are on the Multi-Room DVR) - it would be terrific if I could see what is going to record on the STB guide (for instance, by showing the record icon on the scheduled recordings on my regular STBs).
Grayson Moore
The changes to Fios which happened last night (9/13/11) are great. When you have a recorded program on the DVR and select "Program Information", the name of the channel appears on the "Program Information" screen, but the name of the "episode", which appeared on the previous screen, does not appear. I would like for it to be repeated.
In summary, I would like there to be a box next to my ONT that has eight tuners, a Hard Drive, a Connector for esata, and MOCA and Ethernet ports. At each TV, there would be a small box that connects to MOCA or Ethernet and the TV. All recordings and tuning would be done by the box next to the ONT. The small box next to each TV would just receive the signals and send commands to the central box.
Advantages of this:
All TVS could see all recordings
It could support an external esata box with multiple drives
The small box next to each TV could be built into future TVs --> no more STB!!!!
The central box would have access to 8 tuners rather than the two in each current STB.
It would simplify MRDVR use since you would not need to know which box a recording was made on
It would provide a transition to IPTV - just move the central box from near the STB to Verizon
The central box would be something like a Silicon Dust HD Home Run Prime combined with a PC.
I have a Verizon HD DVR that I got in February 2010 when I subscribed to FIOS TV.
The HDD runs ALL the time which wastes power and creates heat.
Save power by powering down the Hard Drive when the box is turned off and no programmed recording is running.
This CAN be done.
Philips did it with their DVDR (HDD & DVD burner) in 2007. It was their model DVDR3575H.
The unit would power up the HDD 2 minutes before a timer recording and powers down in less than 10 seconds after the power is turned off.
Currently, FiOS offers VOD, et. al. over IPTV. Can Verizon (maybe with the help of SeaChange) write an application for Windows 7 Media Center that will allow MC users to access the VOD and PPV libraries over IPTV? Yes, I know there are options like NetFlix for PPV, but if I only want to see 2 or 3 movies a year, I don't want the monthly fee if I can avoid it.
Then, when VZ begins migrating channels to IPTV to relieve the QAM space constraints, the application can then also tune in the channels that are migrated to IPTV. Imagine what one could do with the Ceton Infinitv4 + IPTV app for FiOS.
If such an app were to be created, please do not have me acknowledge EVERY time that the application is for use by Verizon Customers (like Call Assistant). Just have me acknowledge that during the install.

Review: Silvretta Pure (2006)*
- lightest step-in binding
- no dedicated toe release
- 'wobbly' toe
- 3lbs 3.2oz (pair w/brakes)
If my German is correct, the venerable Silvretta has been making ski gear since 1923, including several 'first-generation' Alpine Touring bindings, many of which enjoyed a healthy measure of popularity.
Eventually, Silvretta's vintage bindings were surpassed by innovative products from other makers, and you might say the company has been looking to reclaim the lead ever since. The Pure/Freeride represented Silvretta's early 2000's attempt to offer a modern A/T binding. After reviewing prototype data on the Pure, I was soon convinced they would be my next bindings.
The Pure (also marketed as the Atomic MX412) nicely carved out a niche between Fritschi-style step-in bindings and Dynafit. Like the Fritschi, the Pure was a step-in binding. Unlike its competitors, however, the Silvretta Pure was also an extremely light binding—nearly as light, in its early drafts, as the uber-slim Dynafit.
For many of us, the Pure looked like a dream come true: Dynafit weight savings without Dynafit quirks. Alas, as you may have noticed, the Pure is now discontinued. Why? Perhaps because of the Pure's toepiece, which lacked a dedicated release mechanism. Release functionality with the Pure relied entirely on the heelpiece (a carry-over from original Silvretta models)—not exactly the most reassuring design.
Also plaguing the Pure was slop—and lots of it. You'd think with a motionless toepiece that the Silvretta Pure would offer one of the most solid boot-binding interfaces. Instead, the opposite was true: to allow the motion necessary for the binding to release, the system introduced a lot of play into the system.
As if that weren't enough, Pure bindings have been haunted by questions of reliability. Persistent reports of catastrophic breakage can be found on the message boards, prompting WildSnow.com's Lou Dawson to initially declare the Pure unacceptable. Attempts to remedy the Pure's various problems led to ever-heavier iterations, all but nullifying its weight advantage. *(discontinued)

The metropolis was once a small village, founded by João Leite da Silva Ortiz, a bandeirante explorer from São Paulo. The explorer settled in the region in 1701, leaving a gold rush expedition. He then established a farm called "Curral d'el Rey", archaic Portuguese for the "King's Corral", which in modern Portuguese would be spelled Curral do Rei. The farm's wealth and success encouraged people from surrounding places to move into the region, and Curral del Rey became a village surrounded by farms.
Another important factor contributing to the growth of the village was the number of migrants from the São Francisco river region, who had to pass through Curral d'el Rey in order to reach southern parts of Brazil. Travelers usually visited a small wooden chapel, where they prayed for a safe trip. Due to this fact, the chapel was named Capela da Nossa Senhora da Boa Viagem, which means "Chapel of Our Lady of the Good Journey." After the construction of Belo Horizonte, the old baroque chapel was replaced by a neo-gothic church which became the city's cathedral.
The previous capital of Minas Gerais, Ouro Preto (meaning "black gold", due to dark rocks with gold inside found on the region), originally called "Vila Rica" ("wealthy village"), was a symbol of both the monarchic Brazilian Empire and the period when most of Brazilian income was due to mining, and that never pleased the members of the Inconfidência Mineira, republican intellectuals who conspired against the Portuguese dominion of Brazil. In 1889, Brazil became a republic, and it was agreed that a new state capital, in tune with a modern and prosperous Minas Gerais, had to be set.
In 1893, due to the climatic and topographic conditions, Curral Del Rey was selected by Minas Gerais governor Afonso Pena among other cities as the location for the new economical and cultural center of the state, under the new name of "Cidade de Minas," or Minas City.
Aarão Reis, an urbanist from the State of Pará, was then set to design the second planned city of Brazil (the first one is Teresina), and then Cidade de Minas was inaugurated finally in 1897, with many unfinished constructions as the Brazilian Government set a deadline for its completion. Inhabitation of the city was subsidized by the local government, through the concession of free empty lots and funding for building houses. An interesting feature of Reis' downtown street plan for Belo Horizonte was the inclusion of a symmetrical array of perpendicular and diagonal streets named after Brazilian states and Brazilian indigenous tribes.
In 1906, the name was then changed to Belo Horizonte, and at that time the city was experiencing a considerable industrial expansion that increased its commercial and service sectors. From its very beginning, the city's original plan prohibited workers to live inside the urban area which was defined by Avenida do Contorno (a long avenue which goes around the city's central areas), reserved for the public sector functionaries (hence the name of the still trendy neighborhood "Funcionários"), and bringing about an accelerated occupation outside the city's area well provided with infrastructure since its very beginning. Obviously, the city's original planners did not count on its population growth afterwards, which proved especially intense in the last twenty years of the 20th century.
In the 1940s, a young Oscar Niemeyer designed the Pampulha Neighborhood to great acclaim, a commission he got thanks to then-mayor, soon-to-be-president Juscelino Kubitschek. These two men are largely responsible for the wide avenues, large lakes, parks and jutting skylines that characterize the city today.
Belo Horizonte is fast becoming a regional center of commerce. The Latin American Research and development center of Google, situated in Belo Horizonte, is responsible for the management and operation of the social networking website Orkut. It continues to be a trendsetter in the arts, particularly where music, literature, architecture and the avant-garde are concerned. There are plans underway to move a complex of government ministries north of the center, onto the road to Confins International Airport, liberating space around beautiful palm-fringed Praça da Liberdade to house the city's symphony orchestra and other arts organizations.

Necessity or Luxury?
Are lattes, hair highlights, bottled water, umbrellas, laptops, Internet service and mouthwash really all necessities?
In this New Year and
bad new economy, there is a fine line between luxury and necessity. Momlogic staffers get real and share what they consider necessities in their lives.
I consider manicures a necessity. In fact I hate getting them. The result -- having clean- looking hands -- however, is a must for me!
Well, I know it sounds indulgent, but I consider my weekly private pilates sessions a necessity. I get an hour of peace of mind, strength training and total uninterrupted me-time, which I don't even get in the bathroom because my dog always barges in. I know it's expensive ... but worth every penny to me.
|I think getting my eyebrows professionally tweezed/shaped is a necessity. I only do it every 4 - 6 weeks so I'm able to justify the $35 expense. I also think weekly manicures at 12 a pop are an (expensive) necessity.
|Melissa: $200 hair coloring every 4 weeks. There is NO WAY IN HELL that I will give this up - it is an absolute necessity
|Julie: For me, travel is a necessity. I know some consider vacation a luxury,
but I live to travel and if I couldn't do it, I would be seriously
What do you consider necessity or luxury?
Yea I spend a good deal on jewelrey but I am willing to admit that I dont "need" to; and actually, I do my own eyebrows, hair, makeup,- and I actually get compliments on all of them. All of the girls here need to get of their pedistal and start thinking about better uses for their money. when getting your brows done just pluck back the regrowth, its not that difficult, highlights can work just as well when done at home I could go on…
Melissa's $200.00 hair coloring is a joke that sounds stupid, what's even more disgusting is Julie's need for travel?! Give me a break, step outside the box and see how the rest of the world is living.
Anna- get over it if they can afford it you have no right to bash them, people are allowed to spend money as they wish. Besides some of us can't pluck our own eyebrows with kids screaming in the background for attention
I wonder how many of those women are in cc debt.

This weekend provided both Scott and I a painful reminder of why we should never skimp on hotel rooms. The $200 or so we saved by booking at a so-so hotel will be promptly spent on massage and chiropractic visits.
We were attending Scott and the boys' Taekwondo Nationals Tournament held in Orlando, and being the bargain-huntress that I am, I looked online and found a massive discount at the Nickelodeon Resort. "Oh, the kids will have a blast! They can get sliiiimmmmmmeeed!"
I really should have thought it through:
Nickelodeon: For kids, all about kids
Kids: all about play, not about sleep
Me & Scott: it's all about the sleep
Never again.
Despite the torture bed, we had a blast at the tournament, which was held at the ESPN Center.
The 15 minutes prior to each event starting is frantic. Every single participant is wearing their official ATA Taekwondo uniform – white jacket (dobok – pronounced doe-bock), white pants and their color-ranking belt. In the kids' ring, we had what seemed like 10,000 kids, their doting parents, judges, grandparents, classmates and instructors all rushing around to get to their correct ring.
It's like playing "Where's Waldo" just trying to find your kid!
In case you're wondering, "Is this anything like Karate Kid?" Well, yes and no. Tournaments are set up for sparring, but most of the competition is around your individual form that you perform by yourself on the mat. Some forms include weapons like plastic swords, lightweight poles, padded nunchucks – so no, you really couldn't do much damage to yourself or others with those things.
Sparring is done wearing padded gear protecting your shins, hands, face and chest….so no breaking bones or fancy jumping crane, crouching tiger moves.
Scott came home with bling, and the kids got a chance to meet Mickey!
Hey, did you know Mickey can do the splits?
Neither did he
It was incredibly inspiring to watch some of these kids and teens – you could immediately tell which ones had taken tumbling or gymnastics – their routines were peppered with jumps, triple flips and flexibility like a Twizzler stick.
The great part about the weekend was that Mimi and Papa (Scott's parents from Clarence Center, NY) were with us and got to see everyone compete. And, yes, they too got the same cheapy beds we did. I'm sure they are poppin' pain meds right now.
One of my favorite parts of my "job" is being able to host 1-day events with Todd and Diane, our Food Blog Forums. We've held ones in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Orlando, and last month in Nashville.
It's our chance to gather some of the most inspiring and forward-thinking food bloggers and photographers and have a small, intimate setting to share what we know, sort of like a "passing it forward" to new bloggers.
A big thanks to all who came out, and especially to these three lovelies, Lindsay Landis of Love & Olive Oil, Beth Sachan of Eat.Drink.Smile., and Leah Short of So How's it Taste for spearheading, hosting, coordinating the entire event.
An event this amazing couldn't have been possible without the generosity of these sponsors who believe in bloggers and support our community – they provided us with so much bling that every single participant went home with a prize!
Cheers! Oh and pssssttt…..if you're free March 17th next year, come join us for Food Blog Forum Orlando again – this time, our host is Walt Disney World! Oh, boy, I can't wait to share with you the magic that Disney has planned for us…..
Congrats to Scott on his bling! Isn't that ESPN complex a cool place? We went there for the first time a few weeks ago for the Wine and Dine Half Marathon and had a blast! Anyway, I'm going to see if I can swing going to Orlando in March–sounds awesome.
Wow! Go Scott! And it looks like the boys had an awesome time too.
And I will make sure to never stay at the Nickelodeon hotel haha!
Ah, yes…cheap hotels! My family will never let me forget my enthusiastic proclamation: "How bad can it be?" And, sadly, I've said it more than once when the experience turned out to be truly bad. Of course, I actually have, on occasion, found some amazing deals, but it does backfire sometimes.
I agree with you on cheap hotels…sigh. Congrats to Scott! That's a lot of bling. I love the pictures of your boys with Mickey…and I can't wait for March. It's gonna be awesome. Thanks for letting us bring it back to Orlando…and have fun in Texas!!!
Congrats to Scott & the kids for the championships! I can't wait for FBF Orlando. I learned so much earlier this year at the first one in Orlando!
Congrats to Scott and did one of you boys took a medal too? or did Papa lend it to him? jejeje
After traveling for work … that is what I look for in a hotel.. bed, pillows and the bathroom… everything else is not important.. not even the TV!
And ohhh.. you have me anxiously waiting now for Orlando FBF .. if you need a hand.. reach out and I will be there…
Congratulations to Scott and the boys. That is seriously great!
We spar in gear too (except when rolling for jiu jitsu) and I can tell you, it doesn't make it all fun and roses. It can still really hurt, especially the unprotected body shots, leg kicks and getting caught clean as you come in to strike. Yet….it's still fun, what is wrong with us?
It was a true honor to meet you guys in Nashville.
YAY and big congrats to scott and the boys! i'm sorry to hear about your crappy hotel, though. it's true, sometimes paying a little bit more is better than going to a cheaper hotel. at least, you know what you'll be getting. looking forward to your next year's event. woohoo!!
your kids are adorable! and yes, never skimp on hotels! you can find good deals on hotwire, living social and expedia.
Yay!! So it's true. Michelle was telling me that you guys were bringing FBF back to Orlando. I peeked around on Twitter last week to disover something about DISNEY!! Oh wow…we are Disney fanatics at our household. Our 3 girls live, eat, breathe Disney! I can't wait!!
I've heard a few things about the Nickelodeon….glad to see you can confirm we should pass it up. I am such a hotel snob!!

Free KI Pills for Some Illinois Residents
November 27, 2012The state of Illinois wants to help people who live near nuclear power plants be prepared in case of an emergency. Today the Illinois Emergency Management Agency announced free potassium iodide pills will soon be available.
Potassium iodide (KI) protects the thyroid gland which is the most susceptible part of the body to radiation exposure.
Spokeswoman Patti Thompson says vouchers will be mailed next month to people who live within a ten-mile radius of Illinois' six nuclear plants - in the "emergency planning zones."
She emphasizes potassium iodide only provides limited protection, and that the best protection against radiation exposure is evacuation or going to a shelter.
More information, and a list of participating Walgreens stores, are available at ready dot illinois dot gov (ready.illinois.gov). The vouchers can be exchanged for a free two-day supply of pills, for each member of the family.

The Shanghai World Expo is living up to its name of providing a Better City and Better Life to the people by taking actions to help Mother Earth and her environment. Learn more about Voluntary Emission Reductions and what you can do to help.
Because of the coming World Expo in Shanghai, stricter security measures have been implemented in the metro and also as far as the Beijing Railway Station. Expo volunteers suddenly appeared too, apparently to make commuter's lives easier.
The hukou issue presents more reasons to debate about it–abolish it or not? How do we go about it serving 1.3 billion Chinese?

How the Shanghai metro and its riders has grown and improved over the years in China, as well as a somewhat physical altercation with a shameless gate-jumper.
TIME's Bryan Walsh points a finger at China for "seiz[ing] the moral high ground" during climate talks last week and warns that the "U.S. … might get lapped."
…and why that is one of the lousiest arguments in the never-ending debate over whether Taiwan is an independent state or merely a renegade province that rightfully belongs to the PRC.
A "domestic" Chinese cartoon is exposed by Chinese netizens to have copied numerous character and story elements from popular Japanese anime Pokemon and Naruto.
"This is of course typical American paranoia of all points foreign. 'The natives are savages! We won't be able to walk the streets in safety!'" ...
Lip-Bu Tan (Cadence), Symbio, & Microsoft shared insights into working with the Chinese government, the difficulty of penetrating inner circle of elites, and reasons for optimism for China 2010.

Laser-based combo therapy effective for angiofibroma
A new study suggests that laser technology combined with a new topical therapy is effective in treating angiofibromas, characteristically seen in patients with tuberous sclerosis.
Roy G. Geronemus, M.D., and Yoon-Soo Cindy Bae-Harboe, M.D., used electrosurgery, pulsed dye laser treatment, and ablative fractional resurfacing, along with a new targeted therapy, topical sirolimus, the application of which works synergistically with laser surgery and prolongs the effects of treatment.
"The most significant finding was the enhanced effects of laser surgery by adding a novel targeted topical medical therapy, sirolimus," Dr. Geronemus, director of the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York, tells Dermatology Times. "Utilizing laser technology and medical innovation, treating patients with the angiofibromas of tuberous sclerosis is now easier and far more effective than we once thought possible."
The study cites a 26-year-old Caucasian female angiofibromas patient who had undergone CO2 laser treatment 10 years prior with minimal improvement. The patient had never been treated with topical sirolimus.
Electrosurgery was performed on papular fibrotic lesions followed by topical sirolimus 0.2 percent ointment application. The patient was instructed to use a small amount of topical sirolimus on the treated areas twice daily. Substantial improvement was noted, with no complications.
The authors noted that studies investigating the safety of topical sirolimus show that in addition to being safe, 73 percent of patients report that they "got better on treatment." "Although these responses are not quantitative," they wrote, "they indicate that topical treatment may be an effective adjuvant therapy to laser surgery."
The authors also noted that there have been no randomized controlled trials comparing the use of topical sirolimus with a combination approach using lasers and topical sirolimus. "However, the combination approach is likely to be more effective for treating the papular fibrotic angiofibroma," they wrote.
The study was published in the November issue of LSM, the journal of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery.
Onset acquires rights to acne med Clindagel
The acne medication Clindagel (clindamycin phosphate 1 percent) topical gel is now owned by Onset Dermatologics, according to a news release.
Online skin cancer course improves docs' diagnostic skills
A brief, online skin cancer course improved the diagnostic skills of primary care physicians, without impacting dermatology referrals, a recent study suggests.
Non-physician laser procedures draw more lawsuits
Lawsuits related to laser procedures performed by non-physicians are on the rise — particularly those performed outside a traditional medical setting.

Also scoring in double figures for the Musketeers (4-0) were Dee Davis with 15 points, Semaj Christon 13 and Matt Stainbrook 10 points in the victory. Jalen Reynolds contributed with 11 rebounds.
The RedHawks (0-3) were paced by Geovonie McKnight, the only player in double figures for the visitors with his 10 points on 4-of-11 shooting from the floor.

After making only 2-of-12 shots beyond the arc through the first 20 minutes, Miami knocked down just 3-of-11 on the perimeter, allowing the host to grab the 26-point win.

Recipe: African Beef & Peanut Stew
Recipes from The Kitchn
The first time I had African peanut stew, I was 14 years old and staying with my aunt and uncle. They were currently living stateside, although for the last six years they'd made their home in the country formerly known as Zaire (it's now the Democratic Republic of the Congo). It was the start of what would be known for years after as "African dinner" at Auntie Dee and Uncle Terry's house. The menu was always the same: a spicy, hearty, and very fragrant peanut stew served with sukuma wiki (a traditional African kale or chard side dish), rice, and homemade chapati. It was so delicious, and it pretty much blew my adolescent mind—and palate.
The original recipe, given to me by my aunt, is structured around three main flavors, which she says are needed to make it "authentically" African: lots of tomatoes, cayenne, and peanuts. Traditionally, she says, African peanut stew is made with raw peanuts roasted over charcoal fires then ground by hand into a flour. The stew is wonderful that way but VERY labor intensive, so she's found that all-natural chunky peanut butter is a much faster and easier substitute (although, admittedly, not quite the same).
Additionally, because this version is made with meat, which was expensive, it was considered a "company" meal and it's also why the recommended meat amount is flexible. The recipe, in true African style, should be tweaked for what you have on hand. If you have less meat around, don't worry about it. Just use what you have, tweak the rest of the ingredients by taste, then bulk up the dish when you serve it with more sukuma wiki and rice. Or, you could add carrots, squash, or sweet potatoes to the dish in lieu of the beef, or in addition to it. As my Auntie Dee says, "Just imagine you're cooking over an open fire, throwing things in as needed, and watching it... simmer!" She's pretty flexible on the recipe, and relies a lot on how things look and taste.
There are endless variations of this stew, and as my aunt assured me, very little you can do to screw it up! I've added a few other spices—a touch of coriander, cumin, nutmeg, and ginger—to her original recipe to round out the flavor, but the essence of the stew and its now-familiar flavor remains as unchanged as the first time I scooped it up with a piece of chapati, so many years ago.
African Beef and Peanut Stew
1 tablespoon oil
1 1/2 pounds beef, cut into chunks
2 medium onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
2 cups water
6 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
1/2 cup to 3/4 cup chunky natural peanut butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Take a Dutch oven or a non-nonstick pan, pour a little oil on the bottom, and set it over medium-high heat. Let the pan get very hot, then add the beef chunks. Do not crowd the beef. Make sure the chunks do not touch. Cook the beef until it's nicely browned, about 2-3 minutes on each side. You may have to do a few batches of this, depending on how much meat you're using. Set the beef chunks aside.
Reduce the heat to medium, add some more oil to the pot, then add the onions. Sauté until softened. Add the garlic and ginger, and sauté for 2-3 more minutes.
Return the beef chunks to the pot and add water to cover (about 2 cups). Add tomatoes, cayenne, coriander, cumin, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until meat is tender, about 2 hours. If you find the stew getting too thick, add a little more water or some more tomatoes while it continues to cook.
Once the meat feels tender enough to puncture with a fork, add 1/2 - 3/4 cups peanut butter and continue to simmer until the meat is very tender (it should easily flake apart) and the veggies have cooked down into a nice gravy, about another hour.
At this point, taste it and adjust the seasonings and peanut butter as desired. If the stew is too juicy, you can use cornstarch to thicken the gravy, but you usually won't have to do that. This is a very forgiving recipe. You can adjust all of the ingredients somewhat without causing a problem.
Serve over rice with a side of sukuma wiki and tortillas, ideally homemade chapati. It's even better the next day once the flavors have really melded, so it makes great leftovers.

Nice, I'm loving these African recipes! want to make all of them!
I am inspired to make this! Its been a long time but remember having it years ago! YUM!
I know it's hot out but I can still make this, right? I want to eat this. Right. Now!
PBB, this looks like something you could do in slow cooker to keep from heating up the kitchen--just do the browning and sauteing, then put it in the slow cooker and go from there.
I've been looking for an excuse to use peanut butter in a savory dish : this is the stuff !!!!! Looks delish! Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you for including the homemade chapati recipe. I don't think the stew would be as good without it!
Many years back I saw a tv show set in the south where they prepared Peanut Butter Chicken. It was based on an African recipe. You don't happen to have one, do you?
Hello from Birmingham, England...This dish looks devine - Have been looking forward to cooking it all week. Currrently simmering away on my hob...yummy!
I spent two years in West Africa in the Peace Corps, and when I returned, I managed to duplicate this recipe using lobster meat instead of meat. This recipe can be modified to use lamb, pork, chicken, seafood or beef. Africans served this over rice and always made sure it had hot pepper as one of the ingredients...
I'm currently in Ghana and I've seen this stew made with pumpkin leaves, amaranth leaves and/or okro (okra). Here, it's not eaten with rice or chapatis. Rather, it's served with a maize porridge, fermented maize, or pounded yam.
Made this last week in the crock pot and it was wonderful. It got the "Please make again" rating. I used a whole chuck roast, then just shredded the meat when it was done (too lazy to cut into cubes).
I am going to do this recipe with my Middle School Cooking Class. I want them to see and taste something very different. I am going to change out the beef to ground beef since I need something that will cook very quickly.
I wonder if I can make this with cashew butter. My husband is allergic to peanuts. boooo!!
Love the recipe!I never tried African food but this sounds great!
I made this over the weekend for a dinner party and everybody was raving. It was truly amazing. I have never loved a beef stew this much! I was looking forward to leftovers, but alas, there were none (and I made a lot!).
So, so, so, so very good, and I was skeptical b/c I had this dish previous but the recipe was way more involved. My cooking time was half the time provided by this recipe, my beef was tender at 1 hour, but I let it cook a little longer and I didn't need an additional hour after adding the peanut butter. Totally delicious!
Made this tonight and it was SO good. I used palm oil and added pumpkin to make it more like what I remembered from West Africa where I had it every day as a kid. Will definitely be making this regularly.
