I've been away from this for far too long. The truth is this summer has been crazy busy but it's not that I couldn't have found a few minutes here and there to get a post written, it's that when I've sat to write I ended up thinking about a million other things and posts don't get finished. I have four of them that are half done currently and awaiting me to finish and post them. So how is it that this one got written? I have a limited need to come up with original thought as I'm basically recapping what's happened. LOL. It's much easier to simply put down what I've/we've been up to with basically not commentary about it.
Jimmy was supposed to spend the summer with his dad but that got cut short three weeks in. Middle school football up here starts in the middle of the summer not at the end like we were anticipating so it required him to come back 5 weeks early. This was an understandable bummer for him and his dad and step mom but all of us want Jimmy to be able to participate in things he enjoys and he's been talking about playing football for over a year so we made it happen. I'm hoping when the season is over we can get him an extra weekend or two down there before the next sports season arrives.
Marilyn has joined the local American Legion and been super busy with her pottery. It's grown to the point where we can barely contain it in the house! She has 3 huge projects going on right now that need to all be complete in the next couple months so there are days when we barely see each other. First up on the list? Completing a new sculpture piece that will be unveiled at Freedom Fest next month.
Speaking of Freedom Fest, she and I have both become involved with volunteering to help insure it's success. She's been coming up with some great ideas and seeing them through and I've been volunteering time to help get the venue ready for the all day event that will be raising money to build a new Veteran Center in the area. So many people from different walks of life are coming together to help this thing go off as smoothly as possible, it's truly been a great experience. In the next couple of days or weeks I'll hopefully have another post dedicated to the event itself.
Since we're staying here at least another year, I've been busy at work trying to get our firewood for the year. It's definitely a more difficult task with no tractor to help get the wood out but it's coming along. Along with the daily chores and other things that pop up it's certainly been a busy summer thus far with no signs of slowing down. Hopefully my brain will begin to though because it's hard to become a writer when you don't write.

I don't pretend to be someone who gets behind causes. I hate anything-a-thons. And I hate asking people for money. Sort of rules me out of most fund-raising endeavors.
But it's November. And that means it's Movember. What's Movember, you ask.
Basically, men all over the world get to indulge their weird displays of virility all in the name of prostate and testicular cancer. Here here!
Truth told, raising money for prostate cancer was never my intention. I was just sick and I didn't shave for a week. And I just happened to carve out this slick little number on November 1.
Not just a mustache, but a mustache with the flavor saver (a term I had never heard before and which everyone tells me has perverse connotations - if I've offended, I apologize but I just thought it was a good expression for all the flavors that go in your mouth and get caught in that thing on the way in). The whole reason for the flavor saver in the first place was to distinguish me, a poseur hipster, from the guy without the flavor saver who rapes young boys.
The wife hasn't been very impressed with my sweet new look. She says she's not sure if she's attracted to me with this thing. I'm not sure she was all that attracted to me without it, so I figure, no loss there. I probably would have shaved it by now, but it is Movember, and if I hold out til Thanksgiving, I can fuck up some serious family photos. So I'm keeping it.
I am by no means asking you to donate money. I'm not even sure I'm going to. But I might. And if you felt like you might want to support these nastly little pubes growing all over my upper lip, or just the fate of balls everywhere, please do. You can make a contribution on my mustache's behalf here:

Wow...this really looks easy. I think I'll give it a try. We have the same problem at our house...sweet tooths every one of us! ;)
I copied your recipe...it's perfect for summer when we have a lot of company at once! It would make a fun cake to decorate, too. Thanks so much, Elaine! :)
Loved reading this post...you're so funny! We'd have dessert every night if we could too! The cake looks like a good one and I love that you get so many pieces! Can't wait to see the recipes for the chocolate and orange ones. Great idea, girl! :)
Dear Elaine
Thanks for joining us at Create With Joy - I'm delighted to meet you and look forward to getting to know you better! :-)
I had a chance to peruse your blog and you have so many fabulous recipes posted (including this one!) In addition to Friendship Friday and Wordless Wednesday, I host a weekly creative/inspirational party called Inspire Me Monday (opens Sunday nights). I hope that you will share some of your fabulous recipes and creations with us at that party!
Have a wonderful weekend & I left a comment for you at Friendship Friday!
Create With Joy
Don't worry you're not alone with your families "problem" LOL Been there, done that, Still doing it! I do like the freezing for later thing....I think that would help around here with all the snacking! :) Will definitely try the recipe!
This looks like a keeper. Good timing with strawberry season in full swing here in Ventura Co. I do something similar when I make bananna bread/muffins. But I go even simpler by using a butter cake mix and substitue the water with 3 or 4 mashed riped banannas
and 1/2 cup of sour cream. Then top them with a basic strussel topping. They freeze really well.
Hi...So glad I found your blog. I've just spent an hour or so reading your back posts! Thought I'd let you know I will definitely be back. I'd like to follow you by email but I didn't see a place to sign up. I don't have a google account so I didn't think I could follow that way. Anyway, I have thoroughly enjoyed myself tonight and I will be back for sure! :)

|Raw (is War) opens without its Marilyn Manson intro while "Thorn in Your Eye" plays throughout the arena. I guess Manson and his record company didn't appreciate all the free publicity Vince was giving him! Tonight, The British Bulldog defends the European title for the first time, facing the man he beat to win the title, Owen Hart. Hart dropkicks his tag team partner as he tries to enter the ring. A flying body press fails to put Bulldog away in the opening seconds, so Hart delivers a blatant kick to the groin in full view of the referee. The match continues anyway between the two "brother-in-laws", as Vince repeatedly calls them. After some back-and-forth, Owen hits a piledriver right before the break.

I like good deals, of course, and am always in the mood for a glass of wine (or two), but I'm not all that interested in the gastronomical part of a "Happy Hour."
My heart doesn't go pitter-patter over a slider. I don't end a day of work with the thought, "Man, I could really go for some wings!" And I can guarantee you that I have never, ever walked into a restaurant or bar with a craving for a drippy plate of the nachos supreme with extra cheese, please.
Unless, of course, the restaurant is Real Food Daily, the nachos are actually vegan not-chos, and the cheese is actually cashew cheese.
So I was relieved that I already had dinner plans when I was walking over to meet a friend to sample the Happy Hour at Comme Ca last Wednesday night. While I knew my friend would be ordering some of the items from the Hourglass menu that is available from 5:00 - 7:00 pm every night, I had no intention of spoiling my appetite.
"I won't be tempted to eat more than a bite," I thought smugly, as I settled onto my bar stool and ordered a glass of the Mas de Theyron 2007 Rose from Languedoc, France.
"I'll simply drink my way to happy," I decided as I dismissively took stock of the classic French bistro's $8 and $9 food offerings at that hour of night.
"Fried Oysters. Dungeness Crab Croquettes. Pulled Pork Sliders. Puhlease." I thought. "They're going to have to swing a lot harder than that to tease my tongue enough to get me to burden my belly."
But then my friend arrived. She ordered the Peruvian Bay Scallops Ceviche with caramelized peaches and fennel ($9), and the aforementioned Pulled Pork Sliders with pickled shallots and arugula ($8). I agreed I'd sample the scallops, and.... err... maybe the sliders too.
But only for research. Yes, only for "research."
So I reached for my fork when the ceviche arrived in an impressive heap of neat little cubes. I marveled over the brightness of the dish -- the freshness of the scallops, the sweetness from the peaches and the herbaceousness imposed from the flecks of fennel. And then I scooped up another four bites.
"I just want to try a taste..." I said after I'd finally set down my fork to consider the pork slider. I collapsed the tender brioche bun with my knife (it's a mini version of the one used for the restaurant's famed burger), and siphoned off a meaty corner of one of the sandwich halves.
The tender ribbons of pork and tart pickled shallots assaulted my mouth with intoxicating splashes of smoky and sweet flavors.
"Good," was all I could manage as licked my lips with satisfaction.
My appetite whetted by the wine and the surprisingly refined "bar food," I coyly cast my eyes over another menu item. It was wrong and I knew it, but I couldn't help myself.
"If you want to order it, I'll have some..." I told my friend.
She grinned. "It's my favorite thing on the menu."
So we did it. We requested the Poutine composed of pomme frites, Vermont white cheddar curds, sausage gravy and a sunny side egg ($8). And then, when it -- the French fry version of the nachos I never ever order -- appeared from the kitchen, the Chef de Cuisine Eric Samaniego appeared with it.
"For you to try," he said, setting down a plate of seared foie gras with a maple bread pudding, raspberry sorbet and turnips, as well.
I shook my head in half-delight and half-horror.
"How am I ever going to eat dinner after this?" I thought as I plunged my fork and knife into the fatty lobes of the assertively seared foie and the delicately sweetened bread pudding beneath it. I wasn't sure what I was eating – a savory dish or dessert – but I knew I couldn't stop the rapid-fire motions of my utensils. It was remarkable – unlike anything I've ever encountered at a Happy Hour – or at any other hour for that matter.
After the shared plate had been scraped clean, we attacked the poutine with the vigor of professional athletes. The yolk was pierced to drip down into the mass of pomme frites underneath, and I championed my way through several "tastes" of the indulgent hot mess to complete my "research." The gravy, egg, and cheese soaked fries are by no means something I would normally crave, but in that moment, they seemed practically perfect.
As I departed the restaurant to rush off to my next eating engagement, I laughed as I thought about Lesley Balla's assessment of Comme Ca's Hourglass Menu on Chow Balla.
"You could easily make an early dinner out of this stuff." She wrote.
Next time, I'll know to do just that.

on Monday, March 7, when the DEP announced at a hearing that it would withdraw its controversial changes and make significant modifications to them.
Ray Cantor, chief assistant to DEP Commissioner Bob Martin, told the Senate Environment and Energy Committee in Trenton "You never get something right
the first time you do it.''
Cantor said that the department continues to work its way through thousands of pages of public comments submitted on its proposed floodwater and storm hazard rules and expects to reissue a revised set sometime in May.
Listen here to Cantor's summary of the DEP process and areas where they anticipate changes to be made.
After hearing the department's commitment to redo the rules, as well as testimony, pro and con, from business and environmental advocates, Chairman Bob Smith said the committee would hold off on voting on the resolution (SCR-66) until the panel has a chance to review DEP's revised proposal.
Following the hearing, EnviroPolitics, interviewed three of the participants.
Dennis Toft, environmental attorney, Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi
Jeff Tittel, New Jersey Sierra Club

Twitter Media Relations
The communications director for the governor of Florida is using Twitter to talk to reporters with interesting results. Disputes that used to be handled in one-on-one talks are now 140-character tweets that all can follow. While some say it is entertaining, one wonders if it is smart. Calling out reporters and and editors and their stories so publicly can make for bad feelings. It is also unnecessary. It seems, however, that the governor and his communications director have determined to make the media an opponent, so public criticism could be playing to their strategy. Still, I would rather deal with reporters one-on-one. There is a better chance of initiating a dialogue if one treats reporters with respect and understands that they have a job to do.

stand, it looks so cute! So I thought I would try it!

Wahh~ How cute! >u<ReplyDelete
I am thinking of melting some chocolates too, but I haven't gotten around to it yet! o:
Was it really difficult? o: How long did it take for the chocolate to settle?
It sounds like you have fun though, in the end~ :'D

By Francesca Trianni
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A motor failure left two window washers hanging for more than an hour on a platform outside a building 45 stories above New York City on Wednesday before they were pulled in by rescue workers, the fire department said.
The workers were doing regular maintenance work when the middle motor of their platform got stuck 500 feet above the ground, and dangled outside the 46-story Hearst Tower in Manhattan.
About 60 firefighters from 12 companies rushed to the skyscraper, on 57th Street and 8th Avenue. Firefighters cut out a 4-foot by 4-foot piece from a glass panel on the 44th floor to rescue the workers in a 90-minute operation broadcast live by New York TV stations.
The fire department said this was a safer way rather than lowering rescue personnel from the roof of the building.
"Once you put people (rescuers) over, then you have the issue of bringing them back up," said William Seelig, assistant chief of the New York Fire Department, to a local news station.
Instead, a firefighter stepped onto the platform from the opening cut into the side of the building and assisted the workers back into the skyscraper.
"You're not worried of how high it is, you're worried to get these guys to safety," the rescuer, Tom Gayron, told reporters.
An investigation is under way by the New York Department of Buildings and other agencies. The window washers appeared to be in good condition, officials said. The platform was secured to the roof and posed no risk to the public.

IDLI-These are steamed cakes of rice/cream of rice and lentils mostly split husked black gram.The ingredients are first soaked for atleast 5-6 hrs and then ground to a smooth batter and then fermented 7-8hrs to give a airy,spongy and fluffy batter and finally steamed.It is served along with SAMBHAR and chutneys.
These are mostly consumed for breakfast,a very healthy way to start you day packed with proteins,carbohydrates and less in fats.They are also gluten free and easy to digest.Heres therecipe:
Cooking time: 15-20mins.
Preparation time:15mins
Yields: 40 idlis.
- Cream of rice/idli rawa-4 cups
- Split husked black gram/Mash ki dal/Urad dal-2cups
- Salt to taste.
- Wash and soak separately the idli rawa and urad dal for 5 hrs.
- Drain the water from the urad dal and with little water grind it in to smooth batter.
- Drain the water from the idli rawa and mix in the ground urad dal paste.Mix well,cover and leave it overnight or 8-10 hrs for fermenting.A good fermented and frothy batter will give soft and spongy idlis.
- In the morning before steaming add salt to the batter.
- Put water in the Idli cooker and let it get hot.
- Grease the mould and fill the Idli mould with this batter.Steam for 15 minutes.
- Use a big vessel for fermentation as the batter rises and becomes double in size.
- In hot summers the batter gets fermented easily in cold weathers you may add 2tsp of curd to the batter before fermenting or soak along with the Urad dal 1tsp of Fenugreek seeds/methi seeds and then grind, this will help in fermentation.
- Grease the mould with oil when steaming,the idlis will come out easier.
- Always let the mould cool down after steaming then remove the idlis.
Cut the leftover idlis in long pieces ,put them in a paper towel and keep it in the fridge overnight,it will become dry and wont absorb much oil while frying.when u want to serve them just heat the oil and fry the pieces till golden brown,serve hot.
DOSA WITH THE IDLI BATTER:Add little water to make the idli batter little spreadable,And then take a ladle full batter and spread it on a hot griddle.You will get nice crisp dosas.Serve them with chutney or sambhar.
Add chopped onions,corriander leaves and green chillies and all purpose flour/maida(1tbsp of maida to 1 cup of idli batter)to the idli batter and you can make soft spongy uttapas with this idli batter.Take a ladle full of this mixture and put it on the hot griddle,dont spread much just make a nice circle.Serve hot.

Still confused how this relates to dating?? Well the way I see it is that it takes quite a bit of courage to attend an event completely out of your sphere of influence, knowing no one and network like a star. It was a little bit of a trial of fire for me. I wanted be confident in myself and my brand, even if it is only a wee blog where I talk to myself! It gave me a chance to talk about the passion and time I spend with Blue Striped Square.
The event was a launch party or an amazing set of office spaces. Like, drop dead amazing. It's made me very jealous that I work in a very big standard office in a hospital. My office certainly doesn't equipped with a totally modern shared kitchen or unisex toilets. It doesn't have the opportunity to network with new people and creatively interact. It doesn't come in a stunning architectural mix of old brick and modern glass.

I'm very thankful for all who participate in this vote and spend their time on my blog.
For me blogger world is a place when you can find different opinions and different points of view of the same subject. I think our small piece of writing can reflect at least some features of our personality. Through blogger world I restored the faith and the believe in our future as Libyans, I think we have such great personalities which they can make the difference in this life if they have the chance to do that. Giriani, Highlander, Happy, Anglo Libyan, Dunia, Tansim, Ahmed, Ph, Benghazi C, Leebya, Ema , DTD, and White African all of them show the ability to be great leaders (plz Mr Qadafi don't get me wrong), I think in Libya we need more and more of this kind of people, before I came Uk, my believes was only intelligent people can make the difference but after three years now and with many different experiences I believe only people who have leadership features can make the difference and I think most of you have these features.
Now I'm delight to introduce BH's Award winners for this year 2007:
1-Anglo Libyan (Life Experience is talking) with 30 points
2- Leebya (The next revolution leader)……15 points.
3- Highlander (The true original Libyan mind)…….13 points.
4- Ph (The right information at the right time)……11 points.
5- Happymoi (The hungry of success)…..10 points.
Surprisingly, 3 out of the first 5 winners didn't vote, hope they will do next year inshallah, also I'll add the worst blogger next year:-P ( what you think PH)
Also, I would like to name Giriani as the golden father and Safia as the golden mother, if we have parents like Griani and Safia I think our future will be in bright and in safe hands.
Hope 2007 was successful year in your life and hope 2008 has more to add to your happiness and success.

I'm in Stockholm . . .
. . . this week, launching the Swedish edition of "The Whistleblower." It's called "Sjuka Pengar" or "Sick Money," since whistleblower doesn't translate well.
The schedule is packed with television, radio and other news media interviews over three days, so a good start.
And Pfizer has finally learned how to handle the situation. Instead of writing angry letters to each radio and TV show, the way they used to do this, which created additional attention, they are now ignoring me.
The first journalist I met from Swedish Radio told me she'd called Pfizer in Sweden and they told her things are so different in the U.S. that my book doesn't impact them. She also called Pfizer in the U.S. and they told her my book was a flop in the U.S., so they couldn't care less.
The irony is, of course, that Pfizer didn't take this position until after they brought the book to Court and after I thanked them for helping me with the publicity.
And of course, Pfizer didn't mention that the book made #333 on Amazon and the entire first U.S. printing has left my publisher without any returns so far . . . oh well, at least it is nice to see that they are maturing over at Big Blue. The way they behaved initially must have had their PR advisors in tears.
By the way, this is what Stockholm looks like right now. Soooooooooooo beautiful it is almost painful.

If you've wanted an EXACT plan to strip off that spare tire, those lovehandles or saddlebags – then you've come to the right place!
Imagine for a moment that you suddenly knew exactly what to do to lose that stubborn body fat. Imagine spending less time working out and more time doing the things you love.
Now imagine combining the two – a scientifically based kettlebell training program that allows you strip the unwanted fat from your body in less than 3 hours per week.
That would be great, wouldn't it?
Here's the Truth – kettlebells are great for stripping off unwanted body fat – up to 2 to 3 pounds per week – but let me tell you why you're currently not seeing those kinds of results…
The #1 Reason Most Kettlebell Fat Loss
Programs Fail…
… Is because there is no logical progression from workout to workout.
Most are either the same workout repeated for 6 weeks or they're a haphazard conglomeration of workouts thrown together with no thought of how you are going to consistently measure and track your results.
See – that's the KEY – being able to MEASURE your results from one workout to the next.
It keeps you motivated when you can see the results on paper and also lets you know deep down inside that your efforts aren't being wasted.
You don't have to "hope" that you're making progress. You will be because you can see it.
And that's the difference between most kettlebell workouts and –
A Systematic Program For Maximum Fat Loss
Sure, anyone can swing a kettlebell. And you can even do some curls and some ab work with it to an in-home follow-along DVD with an "expert." But that neglects the true power of the kettlebell and its ability to virtually incinerate fat from all areas of your body – including your belly, legs, chest and butt.
That's because many of these workouts are the same workout, repeated over and over and over and over again, with little if any variation. You'll learn in a moment why that sabotages your results right from the start.
On the flip side, the other problem with other kettlebell workout programs is that they are just "random acts of variety" – designed to entertain you – so you don't get "bored." Sure, they're "fun" but at the end of the day, you haven't made the progress you're looking for and you just wasted the last 6 to 12 weeks.So how do you overcome being bored by the same old kettlebell workout or being distracted by "fun" workouts that have too much variety?
Purposeful Program Progression
Look, swinging a kettlebell and doing some curls and ab work is better than sitting on the couch.
But you can't just do the same workout over and over and over again.
As I mentioned earlier, this sabotages your results due to the process of "habituation." Your body simply becomes accustomed to that same old workout and it stops stimulating change, so you stop losing fat.
To keep that from happening, there must be some form of variety – not too much, but just enough. And there must be some way to increase the difficulty of your workouts over time without just making random changes – something that let's you measure the change in your body.
You must have a way to track your progress.
And that's where Scientific Program Design – or rather the Elements of Progression come into play.
The optimal kettlebell program for maximum fat loss has to follow these three rules of physiology otherwise it won't work:
Let's take a closer look.
The truth is a successful kettlebell fat loss program must be deliberately and thoughtfully planned and it must respect the Elements of Progression.
99% of all kettlebell fat loss programs don't do this. For example, what if the program says you're supposed to do 2 Hand Swings for a minute for a minute straight, but you can't? How do you adapt that for your own current fitness levels?
You probably can't. (Not without help anyway. Plus, who's got the time to sit there and figure that out…?)
So these elements of progression must be unique to the user – to you, because none of us have exactly the same fitness levels.
Therefore you – the user – must be able to control the pace of your own fat loss workout based on your own fitness level otherwise you risk overtraining and even injury.
In order to accomplish this, we need to look in two seemingly contradictory places for our solution.
5 Strategies To Guarantee Maximum Fat Loss With Kettlebells
So, how EXACTLY do you set up your kettlebell workouts to burn maximum amounts of fat?
We are going to look into two different "worlds" – the World of Science and the World of Hard Knocks. Combined, they produce the following five strategies:
Let's take a closer look.
If you look at the pound-for-pound strongest athletes in the world, they are arguably middleweight Powerlifters. But here's the kicker – they're not only really strong, they're really lean too.
Because when you lift heavy (for you), your body requires more energy than when you lift lighter weights.
This is because the muscle fibers responsible for doing so – Type 2b fibers – are the biggest and strongest of the muscle fibers in your body.
So in essence, when you access those Type 2b muscle fibers through heavy lifting, you are doing more work. The goal of heavy lifting is to acquire and generate the ability to produce more force.
The higher the force output, the more energy required and therefore more calories burned.
When we look again into the School of Hard Knocks, we see that there are two other groups of athletes who we can take fat loss pointers from – Olympic Weightlifters and Sprinters. (Apart from the Superheavyweights, most Olympic weightlifters have single digit bodyfat levels.)
Because they lift (or move) explosively.
Lifting explosively requires the body to use the same muscle fibers – the Type 2b's, as it does when lifting heavy. Doing so uses incredibly large amounts of energy.
Again, more work performed, more calories burned.
The kettlebell ballistic exercises – yes, the Swing, but also the Clean, the Snatch, the Push Press, and the Jerk all demand a high energy output. So again, the more energy required, the more calories burned. And that's exactly what we want for fat loss.
Let's face it – most of us don't have the time or the patience (ok, patience really) to spend on a corrective exercise program, even though we know we should. We've got a bum shoulder, bad back, or trick knee, and we know we should take care of it, but that would get in the way of our fat loss efforts.
What if you could include your corrective exercise to eliminate your weak links into your fat loss program? That would be great, wouldn't it?
Imagine a program that took care of all your needs – helped you rehab that bum shoulder and took care of that sore back.
And why is that important for a fat loss program?
I thought you'd never ask.
When you have injuries and movement compensations, your body doesn't work the way it was designed, so it literally works against itself the more you load it with your kettlebell.
When it is working correctly, then you have greater ranges of motion and more coordination – both of which result in higher force production, which in turn results in more work performed, which of course results in more calories burned.
Neat way to look at it, huh?
So far we've mentioned the Type 2b muscle fibers twice – so obviously they're important to our cause. Here's something else that's important to our cause – being able to control the levels of fatigue while working out.
Because, what many people fail to realize (or don't know) is that in the presence of fatigue, you momentarily become weaker. Sounds like a "no-brainer" I know, but science has shown us that a by-product of higher repetition exercise is lactic acid. And science has also shown us that lactic acid interferes with muscle contraction, specifically of the Type 2b muscle fibers.
Therein lies the problem with high rep fat loss programs.
You cannot produce as much force as you should to burn enough calories because fatigue gets in the way. (And if you keep going, your form breaks down, which leads to injury, also not good for fat loss…)
So how do you do enough work with heavy weights to burn enough calories to lose fat?
By specifically controlling and managing that fatigue – at your own pace, not mine. And that's the key. This method allows you to still experience fatigue, but still produce a repeatedly high force output.
5. Elevate The Metabolism.
Here's a choice for you – which would you rather do – burn a ton of calories during your workout or burn a ton of calories after your workout?
Sounds even better, doesn't it?
The key to fat loss is to not focus on burning calories during exercise, but after. By doing so, we achieve both.
In order to do so, we must do as much work as possible during our workouts by lifting as heavy and explosively as possible while managing fatigue. You may have experienced this before – it's that hot, sweaty feeling you have after a hard workout and after you've showered.
The following study, Effect of an acute period of resistance exercise on excess post-exercise oxygen consumption: implications for body mass management, by Schuenke MD, Mikat RP, McBride JM. (Eur J Appl Physiol. 2002 Mar;86(5):411-7. Epub 2002 Jan 29.) showed that a whole body heavy resistance training elevated the body's metabolic rate for 38 hours post exercise.
There – scientific proof that feeling hot and sweaty after your post-workout shower is good for you.
Are you ready to start slashing off that unwanted body fat using your kettlebells in a planned, proven system? You now know the #1 problem with kettlebell fat loss workouts and the FIVE strategies to fix them.
Are you ready to experience fat loss with a properly designed kettlebell fat loss program?
What Does Success Look Like?
By now, you're probably wondering what kind of success you will have on Kettlebell Burn 2.0.
Rather than tell you, I thought you would want to read what other people have accomplished using Kettlebell Burn.
"I am very happy with the progress and the program. It really works!
Stats: Pounds lost – I am at 174 lbs right now and I weigh about 190 at the start." (after 10 weeks)
"My good friend, Geoff Neupert, Master RKC Instructor helped me with his incredible fat loss program "Kettlebell Burn" to get back in shape in less than 16 weeks after I had my second baby.
I must say that Franz and I rarely recommend others people's programs as we feel so confident in our own Revolution Kettlebell Fat Loss Program. But after seeing the results I got performing his program I needed to share this information with you."
Yoana Teran Snideman, RKC Team Leader
"Hey Geoff, during the first week of 'Burn' I followed the program to a "T" including the eating suggestions and lost 9 pounds. I love it! BTW, I have limited space and am able to perform the program in just a few square feet. Thanks!"
4 more inches off my hips from may 5th…whoooooo……I have 2 more weeks. I will keep you posted :)"
Just wanted touch base to convey how pleased I am with the purchase of your excellent Kettlebell Burn program. I have just finished Phase 1 and have already lost 6 lbs while also experiencing very solid strength and conditioning gains. The "Finishers" segment in week 3 was especially brutal. The program is beautifully structured in terms of simplicity and effectiveness, and combined with the nutritional plan provides a comprehensive, synergistic whole. The corresponding videos you provided were also most helpful in clarifying any questions I had prior to beginning the program. Thanks again for a program that is at once effective, efficient and most of all fun.
The Kettlebell Burn program is excellent. I started the program at 10% body fat and now I am at 7.5% body fat with 3 weeks left in the program. Not only did I drop body fat and get back to my high school waistline of 32 inches, I put on some muscle and my conditioning is through the roof!
I will integrate this program into my training on a regular basis just for the strength gains and conditioning it has provided me.
I just have to let you know that I bought KB Burn because I need and want to lose weight, I am currently in week 3 of phase 1 and I absolutely love it. I have already started to notice a change in the mirror, my abs are more defined and my chest and shoulders are looking more chiseled. I've got to say that the finishers are very hard but very productive. Great Program!"
Gary Gant, Apple Valley, CA
"Kettlebell Burn is everything you say it is. Which is what I was hoping."
I dont have quantitative data- I use a mirror and how my pants fit as a guide. Prior to your program, I was pretty lean- good muscle tone and visible abs. I have more defined abs, back, and leg muscles since using KB Burn the last few weeks. I like the fact that I experience essentially no soreness following your workouts. "
"I am on Phase 1, week 3 now and loving KB Burn. Down 7 lbs since my first workout."
"First off let me say thanks for your kettlebell burn program. I have almost reached my goal with this program for fat loss. I've lost 13 lbs so far hoping to maintain 195. I will be starting wk 11 Monday. Thanks again."
"I'm on Phase 1, Week 2 and I think it's a really good program. You only have 3 sessions per week so it gives you time to recover and frees up time on other days. Not for the faint of heart, it is very intense for nearly 40 minutes. I want to quit about 10 times every session but somehow suck it up and move on. As far as the nutrition part goes, I don't follow it as outlined. I opted for the Eat Stop Eat and fast 2-24 hour periods a week. It has been working, down about 6 lbs so far. I think it is well worth the money if u commit to it."
matterny5 (Dragon Door Forum)
Of course, that's not all the testimonials for Kettlebell Burn – not by a long shot. But you get the picture – real people getting real results.

Have A Question? It's Probably Answered Below…
How is Kettlebell Burn 2.0 different from other kettlebell fat loss programs?
Many popular kettlebell fat loss programs are a series of workouts, with very little purposeful progression. Yes, the workouts may change – but much of the change is random in nature. There is very little continuity between workouts, making it hard for adaptation – or fat loss to occur.
Kettlebell Burn 2.0 has four different phases – each phase becomes more demanding on the body and is based on the previous one. Also, the scientific principles of "Overload," "Overcompensation," and "General Adaptation" are respected and followed to produce results.
Is this workout appropriate for beginners?
Unfortunately, it is not. It is intended for intermediate kettlebell users – those who are familiar with the basic kettlebell drills. Start with Enter the Kettlebell.
Will I have to starve myself on this program?
Nope – you will actually eat more food than you expect or realize on this program. It will elevate your metabolism, allowing you to burn more fat than you could on traditional diets that leave you hungry and dissatisfied.
Will I gain the weight back once I lose it and stop the program?
No you won't. Unless of course you start pigging out and return to your former unhealthy eating patterns. Interestingly enough, most people gain lean body mass on this program so their metabolic rates increase, allowing them to eat more food than they were able to before starting the program.
Will this program work for me if I'm over 30?
Yup – it sure will. I have customers in their 50s who have seen great progress using this program.
Does this program work for women as well as men?
Yup – sure does! In fact, the responses I have received from women have been fantastic.
What if Kettlebell Burn 2.0 doesn't work for me?
That's right – totally FREE.
I'm so convinced that you'll see results using this program that you can take it for a really hard test drive. If you follow the program exactly as it's outlined – you will see incredible results. But if for some strange reason you are not satisfied with your results, I'll give you a prompt, courteous refund. No hassles. No questions asked.
NOTE: Kettlebell Burn 2.0 is a downloadable exercise routine manual. No physical products will be shipped. After you order, you will get INSTANT ACCESS to download the all the modules onto your computer. The exercise routine manual format is adobe acrobat PDF, which can be viewed on Mac or PC.

After a weekend of enjoying Thanksgiving and it's leftovers, it is time to return to the weekly meal plan. I have lots of favorites in store for us this week. For us, it's the first week of Advent and my last week of work for the year, so there is lot's to celebrate!
Day One
Curry Chicken Salad from Cooking Light Magazine
with wheat crackers
|Photo and recipe from MyRecipes.com
Even my southern-boy husband loves this curried version of chicken salad. It's one of my favorites: full of fruit, and I add 1/2 cup minced celery to add extra crunch. If you have left over turkey this week, try using it in place of chicken in this recipe. You'll never know you are eating turkey!
Day Two
Nana's Shrimp Creole with brown rice
|Another Johnson favorite, Nana's Shrimp Creole.
Time to share yet another Johnson Family favorite. This recipe is from my mother-in-law, the quintessential southern hostess. This recipe is hearty yet healthy, tangy with a hint of sweetness, and a true one pot wonder. To entice the kids the eat the creole, I chop up the shrimp and mince the onion, green pepper and celery. They usually ask for seconds.
Nana Johnson's Shrimp Creole
½ cup finely chopped onion
½ cup finely chopped celery
1 garlic clove
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 16oz can tomatoes (or 2 cups)
1 8oz can seasoned tomato sauce
1 ½ tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp chili powder
1 Tbsp Worchestershire sauce
1 tsp cornstarch
12 oz raw cleaned shrimp (chopped if desired)
½ cup finely chopped green pepper
Cook onion, celery and garlic in oil until tender but not brown. Add tomatoes, sauce, and seasonings. Simmer uncovered for 35-45 minutes. Mix cornstarch with 2 tsp water and stir into sauce. Cook until mixture thickens, a few minutes more. Add shrimp and green pepper. Cover and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes more. Serve with rice.
Day Three
Shepherd's Pie from Southern Living Magazine
with green beans and homemade bread
|Photo and recipe from MyRecipes.com
I am excited to try this recipe this week for several reasons. First, what better way to use left-over mashed potatoes then shepherd's pie? Second, this version is packed with veggies. I will probably add some chopped celery to the beef base. Delish!
Day Four
Butternut Squash and Mushroom Lasagna from Bon Appetit Magazine
with romaine salad
|Photo and recipe at Epicurious.com
This recipe was gifted to me in honor of our first Thanksgiving after getting married.
It is one of my go-to meals when we are entertaining friends, but it is easy enough to make ahead for a family weeknight meal. Perfect paired with a salad and warm bread.
Day Five
Boeuf Bourguignon Soup from Martha Stewart Living Magazine
with cornbread
This recipe is in the December 2010 issue of Martha Stewart Living. It gets rave reviews. I will post a link as soon as the recipe is posted online. It takes 3 hours to simmer on the stove, so I am saving this recipe for Friday when I have a half-day for my last day of work!
Blessings on your kitchen this week!

Bring it Home: Scoop Makes Diamonds
His breadth of diverse knowledge covers an unparalleled expertise of hoops to football to politics to tennis. The ability to harness an urban slant and energy in his work is what keeps the masses hungering for more. We get enough white bread J-school columnists giving us the suburban crickety-cracker outlook on sports and culture. Yeah, we get it: White cats that can't play sports love to read about sports when it is written by other white cats that can't play. Well, there is an entire culture out there that CAN play sports and wants to read about the dynamic mixture of sports and THEIR culture by someone that can relate on a cultural level with the athletes. Without Scoop, this would not have been possible. And without Scoop, Page 2 would probably not exist.
We don't care about whether or not the characters on "The OC" can be compared to this year's New England Patriots. We don't care whether the columnist's wife thinks Sienna Miller is a trollop. We don't want to read the columnist flip flop week to week on Rex Grossman. First half of the season you love him. Then you hate him. Then you think he will be OK in the Super Bowl. Then you hate him again. No wonder some columnists get called "fags" by angry managers. When you are fickle and whiny and act like a chick, what do you want to be called?
Thank goodness we can always retreat to Page 2 and find the latest Scoop contribution and forget all that foolishness out there. We find creative and breath taking wordplay. The ability to serenade us and open our minds, but without the preachy in your face self aggrandizing style of the typical small minded columnist, is what really sets Scoop apart. And the realness of his words. Scoop writes as we talk. You feel as if Scoop is talking directly to the People. It's a realness that can't be faked. Other columnists front and attempt to enter Scoop's world, but there is only room for Scoop and his readers in that world.
His connection with his readers and his perch atop the world of sports columnists is something that breeds contempt and jealousy in many of his peers (using that term in the loosest interpretation). The jealousy it bred in one of those columnists lead to a written undressing for the ages. Scoop literally pulled the man's pants down and exposed his shortcomings for the world to see. All the result of residual bitterness at Page 2's commitment to constructing their product around the Scoop Jackson brand.
And now Scoop is getting his due hosting one of the hottest and most brilliant premises in the realm of reality TV. "Bring It Home" is the latest and greatest mixing of culture and sports, tracing the journey of eight young gamers and their quest for the $100K prize. The show humanizes the world of gaming and allows us to see the inner workings of a subculture which is flourishing around the nation.
Scoop on the show:
"On the prep for the first episode, I kept hearing about Chaz. Everybody loved Chaz. They said his skills were supreme. That he might go through the series undefeated. I heard about Jordan, heard he was the No. 1 ranked player in the world and his twin brother was like ranked No. 3. From the get up, the buzz was about these two being in the Finals. In my mind I was like, "I've seen some sic dudes at this, but pressure busts pipes." $100G's is a lot of cake. I knew someone was going to fold."
Now read that again.
This show presents a unique opportunity for Scoop fans, Page 2 fans, sports fans and gaming fans. We are blessed with not just the chance to watch Scoop interact with the young upstart celebs on the show and make his commentary. We also get the chance to read about the goings on behind the scenes and get an intimate take on things through Scoop's poetic verses.
We urge you to watch the show and follow Scoop's columns and blogs about it. It may well change your life.
Like Scoop said, "Pressure busts pipes."
But pressure also makes diamonds. Get ya bling on, ya'll!

I think television might be the better avenue for Scoop. I remember on that MTV streetball show, his commentary was astute and very well presented. His columns, for what it's worth, don't really seem to translate well into print because his communication seems so vernacular. Regardless, I enjoyed the not so subtle dig at Bill Simmons; I'm sure you can relate to my (JH's) disdain for his college basketball blogging.

"I'm sure you can relate to my (JH's) disdain for his college basketball blogging"
Sir, our only problem with his new endeavor to NCAA hoop blog...is that it ISN'T an NCAA hoops blog. It is a pro scouting blog. He simply has been evaluating how certain players games translate or don't translate to the NBA. His commentary on college hoops and "insight" into the college game is a testament to the fact that his expertise is limited to the NBA. We'd prefer if he'd just let his wife do the college hoops blogging for him.

"His columns, for what it's worth, don't really seem to translate well into print because his communication seems so vernacular."
Sir, we have to agree to disagree here. If you read his columns the way you would read Mariotti or Simmons or Wilbon or some other columnist, then sure. However, Scoop is a lyricist, not simply a sports columnist. His writings are a literary interpretation of the art of "spoken word". Try playing a mellow jazz beat with some expressive drum solos in the background when you read his work. And read his work aloud.
See what we mean?

Isn't there something a little disturbing about a 40+ year old guy that speaks almost entirely in slang/nonsense? Especially when you actually hear his voice and he makes Mars Blackmon sound like James Earl Jones?

John Burkoff on Criminal Defense Ethics, at a Conference of the VA Supreme Court
Published September 24, 2014
On April 9, 2010, Professor John Burkoff spoke at the Virginia Supreme Court's Sixth Annual Indigent Criminal Defense Conference. The program took place at the Richmond Convention Center where 600 attorneys were in attendance, and was simulcast to two additional remote locations in Virginia where another 200 attorneys were in attendance. Professor Burkoff's topic was: "Criminal Defense Ethics: What Will They Think of Next?"

Aizawl: Mizoram Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla is likely to contest the November 25 Assembly polls from Serchhip constituency from where he has won five times and also from Hrangturzo, Congress sources said.
Lal Thanhawla has successfully contested from Serchhip for five times since 1984.
He lost from the constituency only once in 1998.
Earlier, he had won from Champhai seat in 1978 and 1979 Assembly polls. But since 1987, the seat became the home turf of MNF chief Zoramthanga.
In Serchhip, the main opposition MNF was likely to field C Lalramzauva, an advocate, against Lal Thanhawla for the forthcoming polls, MNF sources said.
In 2008, Lal Thanhawla had defeated Lalramzauva, the then Zoram Nationalist Party (ZNP) and MPC combine nominee by 952 votes, while MNF candidate R Lalhnuna came third.
"With the MNF and the MPC forging an alliance this time, the combine has a good chance to defeat Lal Thanhawla," MNF sources claimed.
If Lal Thanhawla decides to contest from Hrangturzo as his second seat, he was likely to face opposition from Lalthansanga of the MPC, MNF sources said.
Lalthansanga had won the seat in the last assembly election defeating his Congress rival Ronald Sapa Tlau by 452 votes.
"If the pre-poll alliance between the MNF and the MPC remains intact, Lal Thanhawla will face a tough fight in the second constituency," a MNF leader said.
However, Congress sources said that a seasoned politician like Lal Thanhawla would not choose a seat unless he has a high chance of winning.

1888 Joseph Hall Cabinet Mickey Welch
Starting Bid - $1,000.00, Sold For - $6,462.50
Possibly unique original cabinet card photograph of Hall of Fame pitcher "Smiling" Mickey Welch, produced in circa 1888 by renowned baseball photographer Joseph Hall. The formal studio photo pictures Welch in uniform, as a member of the New York Giants. The reverse features a large and very elaborate advertisement for the Joseph Hall photography studio, located in Brooklyn, New York. Welch has been identified in vintage black fountain pen (not in his hand) on the front directly below his image. This card was part of a recent find of nineteenth-century baseball cabinet cards, a number of which featured the very same photos as used in the extremely rare 1888 N338-2 S.F.Hess tobacco card issue. This particular image of Welch was not used for his 1888 S. F. Hess card (a similar image was used), though the distinctive oval-style portrait design is identical to that used by S. F. Hess and the cabinet, at first glance, looks like a giant S. F. Hess card. This image appears to be unique and does not match any of Welch's known card issues. In researching this image, however, we did find that the offered photo was included in a team-composite photograph of the New York Giants produced by Hall in 1889. Interestingly, this image of Welch is one of only four player photos found in the 1889 team composite photo that were not used in the earlier N338-2 S.F. Hess issue. (The other three player photos are of Tim Keefe, Mike Tiernan, and James O'Rourke.) The photo displays a few stray ink marks, light soiling, and a tiny area of discoloration (outside the image area). The mount (4.25 x 6.25 inches) is clipped at the corners, otherwise in Very Good condition overall. Reserve $1,000. Estimate (open). SOLD FOR $6,462.50

Cirque Dreams, A jungle fantasy! TONIGHT
I'm pretty sure it's a sort of Cirque Du Soleil ripoff. But still, I can't wait! I have only been to the circus one time, when I was 21 no less, and I loved it. Also, I've never been to a ballet of any kind so for me this is a fun combination of both! I'm excited. I just wish I would have ordered a pair of opera glasses from ebay by now. I think they'd come in real handy on nights like these. :)

Wow, this was really neat to see! Just as I suspected, it was *kinda* like going to the circus. There were so many things to enjoy, the contortionists were among my favorites. They are so bendy! The music was great too. My only complaint was I did not enjoy the singing. I'm not sure if it was just her voice or the part where her mic sounded like it was set up to be projected into a huge venue. The Fox theater is not that big so it was way too much sound for in there. Otherwise it was great!
One of the final acts was this balancing act. Two men, a small platform atop a cylinder atop a small table! They climbed up there and then on top of each other! And if that wasn't enough, they added lifts to the platform, staking them 4 high! THEN they topped that by creating a 5 cylinder stack where the cylinders could roll in any of the 4 directions at the same time!!!!! I was like NO WAY...out loud! My jaw was on the floor! Awesome. I'd def. go see this again...and next time I'm gonna take some friends along!
The Fox Theatre is "that big". The Fox is an unusually large venue of its type. Similar theatres' (those that host broadway shows) are about half the size of the Fox.

this morning started very slow and lazy. probably due to the gloomy weather brought about by the low pressure in this tropical country of ours. love rainy days on a monday :-). after I've had my journal and prayer time, i began to surf around my favorite bloggers and i was so blessed by what charissa wrote on her blog. she was reflecting her own personal experiences about her own family and her commitment to our Jesus and her words touched my heart so much.
she wrote:
More than ever my heart needs its God. Not one of small stories or tidy boxes but one strong enough to sustain me in the face of grief and be my reason for celebrating. He is there and I'm continuing to learn him in a new way through new stages. I want to remember how this process of breaking into new territory feels. Will I ever understand all His ways? No. Not in their fulness. Lately he has chosen? permitted? not intervened? in ways I don't understand...... His blend of power and reticence, action and restraint seems so paradoxical at times.
When I die, when all of these remembrances are tomorrow, I want to be all used up.
want everything I have; every ounce of bodily strength, every bit of passion, every possession to be given away to someone who needs it more.
What is the purpose of life if not to pour yourself out like an offering for someone else? To give comfort to one who feels alone? To grieve with one who has an aching heart? To put yourself and your preferences to the side for the sake of another?
God has an amazing way of talking to us. when i am least giving and think more about myself he consistently let his Holy Spirit speak into my heart. and like charissa i find myself thinking that his ways are paradoxical and i won't ever understand fully, all of his ways. but i am so willing to be all used up. to be part of what he is mightily doing now.
