Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Luxer Amsterdam
Luxer, just another word for Heaven!!
Stayed here in June for 3 nights and the only downside was having to move on to another hotel as it was fully booked for the weekend. Very friendly/warm staff who go out of their way to be helpful. Had a nice single room which was larger than I was expecting. Cable TV, very comfy single bed, modern bathroom, great natural light due to window (shame the view was somewhat restricted), electronic key card for room. Room was cleaned every day and you can come and go as you please as always have someone at the desk (at night they buzz you in, as the entrance as an electronic lock). Lovely breakfast (breads, cold meats, cheese, etc) great location, less than 5 mins from Centraal Station with everything you could want foot steps away. Would definantly recommend for single, couples, groups, but maybe not for people with children.
In A Grungy Part
Hotel right in the red light area - not close by as advertised. Dangerous and dirty area. At night it is dark and noisy and somehwat scary. Drunks and druggies everywhere. My daughter and I did not feel safe - at any time night or day. The hotel front door was locked at 7pm until 8am. Staff were indifferent. Took 20 minutes for anyone to decide to register us. Breakfast area just part of the main lobby corridor with lots of traffic, suitcases, etc. Rooms OK, decent size, clean. Nice bathroom.
Ok place to stay...
I stayed at Hotel Luxer in May 2004 after reading some great reviews about the place. The hotel is really central, but I wouldn't recommend staying here if you have children or are sensitive about being the midst of sex and 'coffee' shops. On the plus side, our room was clean, the breakfast was ok, and our room was quiet (although our view consisted of rubbish bins).
It's an ok place to stay, but there are better places in Amsterdam.
Excellent Value
Stayed here for 4 nights in early May: absolutely brilliant! Friendly, helpful staff - available 24 hours a day. Excellent housekeeping - clean towels every day. Plentiful Dutch buffet breakfast - with attentive staff keeping supplies topped up. Rooms more than adequately sized - even if ours was nominally a single with a double-bed placed in it (only slight problem was the reading light was in prime position for my partner to hit his head on it!!).
Despite being described as in or near the red light district, we felt very safe: both inside the hotel - which has a door entry lock so the reception staff can choose who to allow entry to, and out and about. There were usually plenty of people around - the majority of them just other tourists sightseeing, strolling, looking for places to eat - and there were regular police patrols - every 15 minutes or so there's be one or two on their rounds on foot, bicycle or motorbike.
Overall, highly recommended: we will be back!!
Luxor was just ok
I booked a three day weekend trip to Amsterdam (I was already in Germany for the month) and stayed at the Luxer Hotel based on the decent reviews given on this website. When we got there, we did not realize that Luxer is in the heart of what you could consider "drug street" as the locals call it. Locationwise, it may not be the safest feeling place, but there were definetely plenty of restaurants, bars and "coffeeshops" nearby and lots of tourists. It is close to the Central Train station and Dam Square, which is a plus. The hotel itself is quite cute, but housekeeping service was not reliable during my stay (every night we were cheated out of basic necessities - hand towels disappeared second night, and then the last night our bath mat was gone.) The complimentary breakfasts are nice, and rooms are quite towards the middle of the hotel (keep in mind there are bars all around the hotel). If I were to go back to Amsterdam, I would prefer to stay closer to either the museum district or the fameous Leidseplein district - more shopping and cafes nearby, less seedy area.
Great Friendly Hotel
Stayed in this hotel for 3 nights 20-23rd March 2004. The Hotel is on the outskirts of the Red Light district and is well placed for all major attractions. There were some great restaurants and friendly pubs nearby. The Hotel was clean and the bar is open 24 hours.The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, fresh towels provided daily and hot water always available. The breakfast was more than adequate and the bread/rolls were always fresh. Would definitely book to stay here again.
In the middle of it all..
This hotel is in walking distance to almost any activity you like. There were enough resturants and coffe houses, right outside the Luxer, to go every night and not visit one twice. The hotel was spotless and the staff very helpful. Rooms are normal european size with private bath, maid service daily, and cold breakfast buffet served until 11am. This hotel was a find, good price reserved in advance, lots of tourist activities, 5min. walk-Red Light District, canal cruises, Central Station, and a few museums, shopping etc...
Great Hotel
We stayed at the Hotel Luxer, in March 2004 (Four Nights). Hotel is clean, quite, and has a great location, Just about everything in the hotel is new, including the lift, rooms are spotless, and towels are issued daily. Plenty of piping hot water in the bathroom. Hotel staff are friendly and courteous, Breakfast items were limited to Juice, Cereals, Bread, Cheese, Ham, Madera cake, Hard boiled eggs, Tea and Coffee, Everything was freshly prepared. We would defiantly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a quality 3 star hotel, in Amsterdam.
We have rebooked for September.
Nice and centrally situated
It was small, nice, clean, quiet, and close to everything (train, shopping, red light, trams etc). Very much worth the money. We would stay there again. Not a wide selection of breakfast (if you're not into ham & cheese), but you get by...
Loving Luxor
My husband and I spent 6 fabulous nights in the Luxor hotel on Warmostraat in the Red Light District. After a horendous day of traveling back from the sweltering heat in Itlay, we checked into our newly remodeled "home" for the next week. The people were so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was quite a spread and everything was clean and neat. They have a full bar in the lobby and round the clock doorman. If you are on a budget this hotel is definitely within it! In a busy district we could easily close off the sounds of the street below and hide in our air conditioned room for a nap to prepare for the night ahead. We will most definitely stay at the Luxor again and we have passed our recomendations on to our friends already.

That's a terrible picture. I've taken hundreds of similar shots, some worse, many better, and so have lots of other people. Martin Parr is the master of this style, but this is incompetently framed and incompetently exposed.
@3 -- Martin Parr is god. I have one of his photographs, also a cracking good book portraying British life.
My only quibble with your comparison is that his pictures are colour-pregnant and sharp to the point of being severe whereas this one is shot through a bleaching cloud of light.
Martin Parr IS god, but I didn't say this looked like one of his. Martin Parr might have been able to get a decent picture here, I don't know, but this guy didn't. This looks like something you'd throw out when you got it back from Bartell's. Or worse, a cell phone shot. Actually, Parr did a whole series of cell phone shots that were, naturally, brilliant.

Best Uses
Completed a self-installation and found the personnel at the store to be very helpful when experiencing difficulty in installation. Product looks amazing once installed, and appears to be very good quality.
Service and delivery comments:
Picked up the flooring from the store on the day it was purchased, was in and out of the store in 20 minutes flat with 200 square feet of flooring to complete a room and a hallway in our home. Love that they keep the products in stock, and have ability to pick up same-day.
Buying was made easy. Very Knowledgeable staff. Would buy from them again.
I used this product in a rental home and also in my library, where I thought we may want to get to the heating pipes below the floor. This flooring would be easy to remove and replace, whereas a hardwood nailed floor would be very difficult to remove and could not be reused.
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was prompt and there was no damage to the product. Sales people were knowledgeable and courteous.
Once we got the hang of it fairly easy to install major improvement and love the color
Best Uses
This particular finish is not what I would chose for my own place. But it was what the customer wanted. It's good quality for the money. But the groves tended to have a lot of little pieces of stuff in them. So in order to make them snap together easily you need to make sure they are cleaned out & free of debris. Then they go together quickly and easily without any gaps.
Service and delivery comments:
I picked it up at the Philadelphia location. They had plenty in stock for my job. And it didn't take very long to buy it, load it and get out.
Good product.
Best Uses
I was going to refinish an oak floor in an enclosed porch, until we realized it was in horrible condition.
This laminate was an excellent alternative: fast, easy and economical.
Best Uses
Installed in my living room, great looking floor at a great price.
Service and delivery comments:
picked it up at the store. They loaded it on my truck and were very helpful.
We decided to remove all the carpet from our house and went to Lumber Liquidators to look. We were very happy with the service and selection. Our salesman helped us with exactly what we needed without trying to sell us things we didn't really have to have. We would not be happier with our floors. We did three bedrooms, a hallway and the living room will be done next weekend. Very easy to install.

The defendant, brought into St. Johns County Circuit Court for violating probation on eight counts, said he needed one more chance to show he could do the right thing.
However, Circuit Judge J. Michael Traynor said there was nothing in Proffit Vincent Gadson's recent history to indicate he would do more than the "absolutely nothing" that marked his nine months on probation.
Gadson, 29, was on probation for three counts of uttering, three counts of forging checks and unauthorized possession of a driver's license, all third-degree felonies; and giving a false name upon being arrested or detained, a first-degree misdemeanor.
He initially was placed on probation for four offenses following his May 2005 arrest. He pleaded no contest in September to four additional charges, which were part of his original spree.
By pleading to the new charges, Gadson admitted violating his probation. He was sentenced in September to two years of community control.
Traynor urged Gadson to report immediately to his probation officer, which the defendant did not do when he was sentenced originally.
"He did nothing again," Assistant State Attorney Carlos Mendoza said during Gadson's recent court appearance.
Defense attorney Michael Hines said his client, who is from Palm Beach County, conceded he had a drug problem. Representatives from Phoenix House rehabilitation center interviewed Gadson in jail but did not issue a report, said Hines.
Gadson told the judge he needed a transfer to Palm Beach County, where he could work in his family's new restaurant.
"I really do need another chance," he said. "I shouldn't have put drugs ahead of the court."
Traynor said Gadson had used up all his chances and sentenced him to 24 months in prison, followed by 24 months probation.
"He did nothing, absolutely nothing," the judge said, "which indicates to the court he would have continued to do nothing."
Following are some of the other cases that were resolved recently in circuit court.
Christopher Paul Kuleski, 35, was sentenced to 364 days in jail, followed by three years probation, after pleading no contest to grand theft of an automobile and driving while his license was canceled, suspended or revoked.
Assistant Public Defender Tyler Williams said Kuleski entered the "plea of convenience" to avoid a trial and his possible designation as a habitual offender.
Nonetheless, Kuleski said he believed he had permission to drive the victim's car from her son, who is now in a Maryland prison.
"She's always been a very kind lady to me," he said. "I'm sorry this happened to her."
The defendant also was ordered to make $869 in restitution for damages to the car.
Brinda Lynn Peoples, 47, pleaded no contest to three charges: possession of cocaine and possession of a Schedule II substance (hydrocodone), both third-degree felonies; and possession of drug paraphernalia, a first-degree misdemeanor.
She was sentenced to 270 days in jail and 36 months of drug-offender probation.
Traynor suspended the jail term, pending her completion of a 30-day program in a residential rehabilitation facility.
Probation was revoked for Marlon Davon Tobler, 21, who admitted violating on a charge of an organized scheme to defraud.
He was sentenced to time served (87 days) with the balance of his probation converted to community control.
Kyra Sherone Wideman, 33, was sentenced to 12.1 months in prison after admitting he violated probation on two counts of cocaine possession and two counts of possession of less than 20 grams of cannabis.
Wideman violated by picking up another cocaine possession charge on March 3, said Assistant State Attorney Bennett Ford.
The judge gave Wideman credit for 252 days served in jail.

Developed Economies Seen Fighting Off Emerging-Market Contagion
Emerging markets aren't yet sneezing enough for the rest of the world to catch a cold.
That's the diagnosis of economists from Deutsche Bank AG to Nomura International Plc after the stocks of developing nations suffered their worst start to a year in five, raising concerns they are turning from the driver of global growth to a drag.
The optimistic take is the pain will be limited to a few unbalanced economies -- including Turkey and Argentina -- with little heft abroad, and developed countries now have domestic sources of growth and support from central banks. The risk is that slowdowns and sell-offs deepen in bigger economies, such as China, infecting the financial markets of industrial nations and depriving them of demand for exports and commodities.
"We view the past week as more a warning" about what could happen "should contagion become more entrenched and broad-based across emerging markets," said Jacques Cailloux, chief European economist at Nomura in London.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is down 7.1 percent since Dec. 31, compared with a 3.4 percent decline for the MSCI World Index. Equity volatility in developing nations jumped the most in two years last week amid a sell-off in their currencies, with the Chicago Board Options Exchange Emerging Markets ETF Volatility Index rising 40 percent to 28.26, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
World-Economy Engine
The threats posed by developing nations are attracting debate, given these countries now account for almost 40 percent of the world's gross domestic product, up from 18 percent two decades ago. They also served as the world economy's engine when the West was reeling from the financial crisis of 2008 and subsequent recession and European debt woes.
"A broader emerging-market crisis today would come with much greater ramifications" for growth worldwide, said Michala Marcussen, global head of economics in London at Societe Generale SA.
Even before last week's tumult, the International Monetary Fund estimated the growth gap between emerging and developed economies is the smallest since 2001, and IHS Inc. calculated the one-time locomotives would contribute the least this year to worldwide expansion since 2010.
The concern is the rot lasts, adding a new challenge to a still-fragile world, even though the global economy has changed from the late 1990s -- when crises from Asia to Latin America riled international markets -- and is stronger after the financial turbulence of six years ago, said Holger Schmieding, chief economist at Berenberg Bank in London.
Recession Recovery
The U.S. and U.K. are gathering strength, the euro region has emerged from its own slump, and central banks continue to keep interest rates at or near record lows.
Rich countries have escaped contagion before. When Asia was roiled in the 1990s, U.S. growth topped 4 percent in 1997 and 1998, and the euro zone managed more than 2.5 percent expansion each year. This means stress could be limited to countries with high current-account deficits, political unrest or a reliance on commodities.
Brazil, Indonesia, India, Turkey, Ukraine and South Africa are among nations meeting some or all of these characteristics. Argentina also falls in this category and began devaluing its peso Jan. 22 in a bid to stem a financial crisis.
"By the standards of emerging-market crises, we do not expect this to be a particularly bad one," Schmieding said.
The outlook would change if turbulence became longer-lasting and more widespread. That would put the U.S. at risk, because emerging markets now drive 15 percent of the sales of companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, with China accounting for a third of that percentage, according to Torsten Slok, chief international economist in New York at Deutsche Bank.
Reconsider Decision
Still, the U.S. domestic economy is improving, and it would take a more-substantial stock-market decline for the Federal Reserve to reconsider the plan it signaled in December to keep cutting monthly asset purchases from an original $85 billion a month.
"Our central expectation is while U.S. markets could take a temporary hit, the shock will not be a major one for the U.S. economy," Slok said.
The S&P 500 is down 3.6 percent since Dec. 31 after rising about 30 percent last year. GDP grew at a 4.1 percent annual pace in the third quarter after expanding 1.1 percent and 2.5 percent in the first and second.
Cornerstone Macro LP also isn't expecting the Fed to respond to recent market volatility -- which some investors say the central bank's policies have exacerbated. Cornerstone economists told clients yesterday the Fed will continue slowing its quantitative easing after the Federal Open Market Committee meeting this week, partly because officials ignore short-term market fluctuations and don't yet see a full-blown emerging-market meltdown on the horizon.
Isolated Difficulties
"There is a big difference between isolated severe difficulties and a widespread crisis: The former don't change the outlook for the U.S. economy much, while the latter does," Cornerstone said. "For now, the Fed most likely thinks we are in the former situation, so no course change is warranted."
Similarly, Europe's recovery likely would be impaired only if a pervasive slowdown took hold in emerging markets, Nomura's Cailloux said. That's even though the 18-country euro bloc has been lifted by developing-nation demand in the last few years.
Nomura's calculations show that a protracted slump in Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela and Turkey would knock about 0.1 percentage point off euro-area growth, given they account for about 3 percent of the region's exports. Spain may be in greater jeopardy because of its closer trade and banking ties with Latin America.
Not Affected
"There's no particular reason that Europe should be affected by the problems encountered by a small number of countries," Bank of France Governor Christian Noyer said yesterday.
Marcussen of Societe Generale cautions there still are reasons to worry about the outlook for emerging nations, even though they now boast more flexible currencies, stronger trade positions, larger reserves and more-developed markets than in previous decades.
China's economy is the world's second largest, and its share of global GDP has jumped to 14 percent from 4 percent in two decades, she said. That's a problem if it struggles to refocus demand toward domestic sources, especially after a report last week showed manufacturing may contract for the first time in six months.
Large imbalances and poor policy choices that drove past crises also are prevalent in Argentina, Venezuela, Chile, Peru, South Africa, Ukraine, Turkey and Thailand, she said. Add Brazil, Indonesia, India and Russia, which have weak spots, and 13 percent of global GDP is in question, according to Marcussen.
China's Role
The outlook ultimately may pivot on how China fares, said Frederic Neumann, co-head of Asian economics research in Hong Kong at HSBC Holdings Plc. The government is implementing the biggest policy shifts since the 1990s and tackling debt-fueled investment in a bid to generate more manageable growth based on local rather than international demand.
HSBC still anticipates expansion of 7.4 percent there this year after 2013's 7.7 percent, adding the equivalent of Switzerland or two Malaysias to the world economy.
While commodity producers such as Australia and Indonesia may be hurt if China weakens more, the country has a current-account surplus and exchange reserves to prop itself up and prevent a dive in the yuan.
"A sudden jolt would hurt," Neumann said. "A gradual slowdown, by contrast, might leave global growth little interrupted. Thankfully, Chinese officials retain powerful tools to steer the process."

Meet Me
I have a child with ADHD. Her chaos is my chaos. Her distraction is my distraction.
Those are the facts. Now here are the feelings. I can sum up the last five years of my life in one word. You think I'm going to say LOVE, don't you? WRONG! Of course, I love Natalie like crazy. But the overriding feeling, my constant state of being, is OVERWHELMED! Picture me: Shoving piles of garbage and toys out of the...

We adopted our 7-year-old, Natalie, from a Russian orphanage 5 years ago. She had ADHD, was malnourished, neglected... and perfect.
My 7-year-old daughter, Natalie, has ADHD. My husband Don and I adopted her 5 years ago from an orphanage in Russia. Nat had a rough start in life, but she's a survivor — an amazingly resilient, strong, loveable little girl. She was born 6 weeks premature, and bounced from home to hospital and back again before landing in an orphanage. When we met her she was...

|Mahindra Duro Dz
|56.25 Kmpl
|80 Kmph
|4 Stroke
|8 bhp @7000 rpm
As an utility vehicle manufacturer, Mahindra have always reached the desirable heights with each and every four-wheeled and high ground clearance model they have got on offer. But when the wheels get reduced to two, the story is a bit different. This Indian manufacturer have always been considered as underdogs in the two-wheeler business, ever since they acquired Kinetic automobiles Pvt Ltd. The scooters manage to sell in average numbers as compared to their competitors, whereas the motorcycles are less talked about, with company pulling back the Stallio in its very short life span. Though with the Centuro, the company seems to be back on track, with the model clocking a very good initial booking response. And with the highly anticipated 300cc Mojo in pipeline, Mahindra has no intentions of looking back any further. Coming back to scooter arena, Mahindra 2-wheelers' Duro has recently been revamped and we've brought out our magnifying lens to look beneath the surface and tell you all that you want to know about this latest DZ variant.
Remember Kinetic Nova? Yes, that was the Nova which was the only ray of hope with which Kinetic was alive in the market, ever since the scooters began to follow the four-stroke fashion. It's now a long time Mahindra has acquired Kinetic, but the silhouette of Nova is still alive, and has been christened as Duro. Though it is not a ditto of the Nova, and is out there with some cosmetic changes. For the starters, it has a very macho and eye-catching looks, giving it a feel of a full-sized scooter. The front face houses long sized turn indicators seem like wolf's eye, horn rimmed headlight, rear view mirrors, front mudguard and handlebars. Apart from these, the Mahindra logo and Duro sticker and graphics are pasted at the front side of the scooter. The headlight of the vehicle, although a new change on DZ version, is very familiar with the other scooters in the market and has a clear vision. This time, the rear view mirrors are not in body colour as it was there in Mahindra Rodeo, and has a simple conventional design. Although, the rear garb rails are in very body colour.
The instrument cluster of the Duro is not a digital unit as that on the Rodeo, but follows an analogue theme. The conventional dashboard comprises of fuel gauge, speedometer, odometer, upper beam indicator and indicators lights. The background colour of the console is white that manages to give a cool look to it. The instruments are clearly laid out and easy on the eye. The speedometer is marked with a green economy riding zone between 30kph and 50kph, and the fuel-gauge prominently set to the right. You get comprehensive switches with push-to-cancel indicators and comfortable control levers that feature the safety of a brake-lock clamp. What's however unchanged are a pair of irregularly shaped palm grips which hamper the riding experience. The Duro DZ offers generous storage capacity with a lockable glove compartment under the handlebar, plus another below its seat, in addition to the bag-hook-equipped flat floorboard. However, there is no mobile charger socket and front fuel filler, as those found on Rodeo.
You need to raise your seat to refilling for the petrol tank is fitted under the seat, here. The underseat storage, at 20 liters, is one of the most capacious storage units amongst the scooters. Two lights are fitted in the underseat storage space to allow you see clearly even in night time. The scooter is light weighted and saddle height is low that allow the rider to control the scooter in a better way. The pillion footrests are archaic and a tad crude. And apart from a nice, body-colour and alloy grab handle, the new DZ could also do with better rear-end styling, as the tail lamp cluster is a straight lift-off from the Nova. The fit-and-finish and overall quality have long ways to go before they are up to speed with the industry standard.. Overall, it is a no-frill scooter, too different from its stable-mate, the Rodeo, and is primarily aimed at mature buyers who want a no-nonsense character in their daily ride. The Mahindra Duro is available in seven shades - Royal Purple, Derby Red, Supreme Silver, Pearl White, Fiery Black, Cappucino Brown and Mystique Gray.
The Mahindra Duro comes equipped with the same engine which powers its siblings, Flyte and Rodeo. It is a four stroke engine with a displacement of 124.6cc. The powerful and already tested mill belts out 8 bhp of power at 7,000 rpm and churns 9 Nm of peak torque at 5,500 rpm, equipped with a CVT transmission. The throttle response is mind blogging and never loss the flow in any speed. Another improved area is the ignition system, having adopted dual-curve mapping that allows enhanced economy when riding with a light throttle hand and still allowing for cracking power delivery when called for. This Mahindra can also be started by kick and electronically.
The scooter sports supercharged battery that ensure instant starting of engine and clear lit up of headlight and turn indicators. Pick-up and acceleration is not a big concern in this scooter as it is loaded with a very poweruful mill that churns good power and help to grow performance. With the help of its power engine, the vehicle managed to achieve a top speed of 80 kmph. This machine is capable enough to cover 0-60kmph in just 12.1 seconds. Performance feels the same, but the DZ feels a little out of its league once past 50kph. It's mid-and top-end power delivery is disappointing for a 125cc scooter. The Duro engine does however always remain smooth, with no complaints regarding refinement. And 56.25kmpl – That's what Mahindra 2-wheelers claim for this scooter is. This is a decent figure considering the competition. And with a real world mileage of 46 kmpl, this scooter is able to clock a high range, thanks to its large 7 liter fuel tank.
The Duro DZ provides a comfortable, wide seat and the riding position is upright as on most scooters, with Mahindra having upgraded the suspension which was a major bugbear on the previous Duro. The front shocks are now telescopic forks, with the rear shock absorber damping rates re-tuned, and the handlebar raised in an effort to cure the poor riding position of the older Duro. Enough legroom is left for better placement of leg and bag holder is there for hanging bags. The seats are designed in a way that even after a long drive, you will not feel tiredness. However, taller riders may feel some difficulty since their knee might touch the handlebars or front area. There still remains ground to cover for the Duro DZ's riding position is dangerously off-track and severely hampers riding this scooter safely.
This scooter is equipped with latest forks to give smoothest ride. The gearless scooter sports telescopic shock absorbers at front and hydraulic type fork at the rear end. Suspensions work efficiently when jerks come across while the cushion-like seat reduces the weight of jolts. Both the forks add to the comfort and let you enjoy city and highway riding as well. For instant halting, 130mm of drum type brakes are installed in the machine. And for the vehicle like this, these brakes are good enough. Wide tyres and wheelbase help the vehicle to balance it in any speed. The Duro has always suffered from a floorboard positioned too high and close to its seat, and it's surprising that Mahindra has failed to resolve these basic, crucial flaws completely. So although the ride quality has improved, the Duro DZ is still a scooter that feels dicey going round corners and one has to ride with extra caution to stay safe.
This is a no-frills scooter. So, expecting safety features such as disc brakes and ABS is a big no.

To all the folks changing the sugar/fruit ratio. Your jam will not set properly. You will either have an extreme soft set or a very hard rubbery set. The process of making jam is exact and the recipe really should never be altered.
Excellent! Cut the sugar down, it set beautifully. Gorgeous color in the jars. Thanks for posting.
First jam I've ever made & it was great tasting. I had to google "how to make jam" for the basics & followed the instructions on it to allow the jam to sit 5 minutes before putting in the jars to avoid floating fruit. Seems to have worked!
Delicious jam, but calls for way too much sugar. I used 4 cups, and it was just the right amount of sweetness. 7 cups would have made it sickly sweet. Otherwise, absolutely delicious combination of flavors!
The flavour combination is delicious and the colour is so pretty... this will go on my annual list of must-do's. I changed the recipe to accomodate the fact that all i had was powdered pectin. I prepared the fruit with lemon juice as directed, then combined it with the pectin in a soup pot and brought to a boil. Then I added the sugar (I cut it down to 6 cups), brought to a boil and held at a hard boil for one minute. I was very careful to skim and stir for a good 5-minute cooldown period before jarring it ("To Prevent Floating Fruit"). It's a soft set, which is just how i like my jam. Thank you for a wonderful recipe.
This jam is fantastic. Every person I gave it to for christmas has absolutely loved it. So easy to make! I made it according to the recipe, however this year I will buy raspberries when they are in season and freeze them myself, as they can be pricey. With fresh peaches. . . my favorite jam.
One word-YUMMY. I ended up using 1 cup cherries and 1 cup rasp(frozen) b/c I didn't have enough of either but it turned out great!!I thawed the rasp and drained them well and it turned out just fine.I was a little concerned about the liquid pectin b/c the recipe doesn't state how many oz. the bottle of pectin is. The only liquid pectin I can get here is in pouches and I wasn't sure if the pouches measured the same as the bottles. But it must b/c it gelled up nicely. This is definitely a keeper!!I also hard boiled it for 3 minutes instead of one b/c of the rasp being previously frozen.I didn't have to skim very much foam which is good b/c I hate that part!!Very very good!!!
My husband and I decided to try our hand at making jam this summer to give as Christmas gifts, and this is one of the best! This smell is fantastic, and it made 8 half-pints rather than 4. Great recipe!
This was my first time making jam, and this worked out beautifully! The recipe is pretty foolproof and the results are wonderful. I didn't have quite enough raspberries, so I added a few more peaches, without any problem. After my non-jam eating friends tried a spoonful, they were lining up to grab a jar. Thanks Di Neal!
This is really great! I substituted strawberries since raspberries were costly and looked kind of sad. Gelled nicely, looks pretty in the jar and the almond is a nice touch.

Radionuclides Tied To Shale Gas Fracking Can't Be Ignored As Possible Health Hazard
Laurel Whitney | January 14, 2012
By Laurel Whitney • Saturday, January 14, 2012 - 13:46
Comic books tell us that it's cool to be a superhero. Sometimes those superheroes started out as everyday citizens that became irradiated and suddenly transformed into epic, superhuman, ninja-fighting dynamos with abilities and powers that far outweigh regular human abilities, such as remembering anniversaries, calculating your own taxes, being able to answer every Jeopardy question, or tetrachromacy.
However, we know in real life that radiation, especially at dangerous levels, can cause burns, hair loss, ulcers, chromosomal deterioration, weakened immune systems, and cancer in the form of leukemia when it concentrates in the bones. Radiation is more likely to destroy our genetic code than to alter it to give us invisibility superpowers.
So why is radiation not more prevalent in the discussion about fracking? We've learned over the past couple of years about other health impacts from fracking - such as the hundreds of cancer-causing chemicals used in the fracking process and the health effects such as lost sense of smell and taste, headaches, respiratory problems, and cancers reported by citizens near oil and gas drilling sites. News coverage of fracking dangers often focuses on the threat of water contamination, the toxic fluids used in fracking operations and how it isn't always disposed of properly, and the all-time favorite made world-famous by "Gasland": flaming water.
Yet we don't hear a lot about how oil and gas fracking can concentrate existing radionuclides, presenting the risk of human contact through disposal or handling, posing another possible health risk for the public and workers in the industry.

we have been using ThreadLocal so far to carry some data so as to not clutter the API. However below are some of issues of using thread local that which I dont like
1) over the years the data items being carried in thread local has increased 2) Since we started using threads (for some light weight processing), we have also migrating these data to the threads in the pool and copying them back again
I am thinking of using an in memory DB for these (we doesnt want to add this to the API). I wondering if this approach is good. What r the pros and cons.
ok here is a simple scenario
- user logs in and submits a request
- system establishes context for this entire request which include - unique id for this request - username - system looged in (user can log into multiple systems) - some DOMAIN EVENTS for later use
- the request passes through multiple logical layers (presentation, business domain, rules, integration) etc
- in the integration layer, we borrow few threads from pool to parallel pull data from multiple partners. each of the pulls need some data stored earlier in thread local, so we migrate those to the pooled threads
- after all data is received from partners, we migrate back the new thread local data accumulated in the child threads to the main thread
- at the end of the interaction we persist the DOMAIN events to DB
