FedEx Corp. is one of the companies honored on this year's Civic 50 survey, now in its second year, the results of which were published by Bloomberg Thursday, Dec. 5.
The survey was developed by the National Conference on Citizenship, Points of Light and Bloomberg for the purpose of measuring corporate civic engagement.
Its goal also is to recognize top S&P companies that make socially responsible practices and community leadership part of their corporate culture.
Other companies on this year's list include Gap Inc., Southwest Airlines and Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
Lakeland Mayor Wyatt Bunker has formally set Jan. 3 as the date he will resign from the Shelby County Commission.
Bunker was elected mayor of Lakeland in September, giving him 90 days to resign from the commission under terms of the Shelby County Charter, which prohibits him from holding both elected positions.
The letter from Bunker means the commission will be appointing someone to fill his seat for the remainder of his term of office, which runs to Sept. 1, 2014.
That's when those elected in the 2014 August county general elections take office for full, four-year terms on the commission.
The Memphis Area Association of Realtors Commercial Council has been honored with a 2013 ACE Award for Accredited Commercial Excellence.
The National Association of Realtors says ACE winners "have demonstrated that they have gone beyond their accreditation benchmarks to be leaders in engaging their members and the high quality of the services provided."
Iberiabank has promoted two associates in Memphis.
Stephen Fitzsimmons is the new branch manager at Iberiabank's Germantown branch, 7465 Poplar Ave. He has seven years of banking experience, and is a licensed attorney and an active member of the Memphis Bar Association.
Meanwhile, Kirstin Wicker will assume the role of assistant branch manager at Iberiabank's Memphis headquarters, 4894 Poplar Ave.
She has eight years of experience and will also act as the key operations liaison for retail support and training new associates.
Dollar General's fiscal third-quarter net income climbed 14 percent as traffic improved and shoppers spent more per transaction on average.
Its earnings topped Wall Street's expectations. The discounter also lifted the low end of its full-year adjusted earnings forecast and boosted its stock repurchase authorization by $1 billion.
Sales at stores open at least a year climbed 4.4 percent. This figure is a key indicator of a retailer's health because it excludes results from stores recently opened or closed.
Dollar General reported strong sales of tobacco products, perishables, candy and snacks in the quarter. Seasonal and home product sales were solid, it added.
The company's board approved an additional $1 billion for stock buybacks on Wednesday. This raises the total authorization for future buybacks to $1.2 billion.
For the period ended Nov. 1, Dollar General Corp. earned $237.4 million, or 74 cents per share. A year earlier it earned $207.7 million, or 62 cents per share. Taking out a benefit from the reversal of income tax reserves, earnings were 72 cents per share.
Revenue increased 11 percent to $4.38 billion from $3.96 billion.
Analysts, on average, expected earnings of 70 cents per share on revenue of $4.42 billion, according to a FactSet poll.
Dollar General now foresees full-year adjusted earnings between $3.18 and $3.22 per share.
Average U.S. rates for fixed mortgages rose sharply this week, making home-buying slightly less affordable.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday the average rate on the 30-year loan jumped to 4.46 percent from 4.29 percent last week. The average on the 15-year fixed loan increased to 3.47 percent from 3.30 percent.
Rates have risen a full percentage point since May after the Federal Reserve signaled it might slow its bond purchases by year's end. Rates peaked at 4.6 percent in August.
Mortgage rates have stabilized since September, when the Fed surprised markets by taking no action. And rates remain low by historical standards. The Fed meets later this month and could slow the bond purchases if the economy shows further improvement.
The bond purchases are designed to keep long-term rates low.
The increase in mortgage rates has contributed to a slowdown in home sales over the past two months. But the government reported Wednesday that purchases of new homes ramped up in October after three months of soft sales, evidence that the housing market is improving fitfully.
Sales of new homes increased 25.4 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 444,000 in October, the largest monthly percentage increase since May 1980.
And in another sign of potential economic strength, the Commerce Department said Thursday the economy grew at a 3.6 percent annual rate from July through September, the fastest since early 2012. But nearly half the growth came from a buildup in business stockpiles, a trend that could reverse in the current quarter and hold back growth.
The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits tumbled 23,000 last week to 298,000, nearly a six-year low that shows companies are laying off fewer workers.
The Labor Department said the less volatile four-week moving average declined 10,750 to 322,250.
Last week's unemployment benefit applications nearly matched a September figure that was distorted by late reporting from California. When excluding the September report, last week's figures were the lowest since May 2007.
Applications have now fallen in seven of the past eight weeks, a hopeful sign for job growth at the end of the year.
Last week included the Thanksgiving holiday, which can present challenges for seasonal adjustments. But government officials say there were no special factors affecting the report.
Weekly jobless claims are a proxy for layoffs. The steady decline should help boost job gains at a time when hiring has accelerated.
The economy has added an average of 202,000 jobs a month from August through October, up from an average of 146,000 in May through July. The government issues its November employment report on Friday.
A report Wednesday from payroll processor ADP suggested the hiring gains continued last month. Companies and small businesses added 215,000 jobs in November, ADP said.
Greater employment typically boosts income, which helps drive more economic growth. Consumers' spending accounts for roughly 70 percent of economic activity.
Still, the unemployment rate remains high at 7.3 percent. That's well above the 5 percent to 6 percent unemployment rate consistent with healthier job markets. When unemployment is lower, workers have more flexibility to change jobs.
Memphis is among 20 U.S. communities chosen as the first partners in a national initiative aimed at increasing the ranks of college graduates.
The Indianapolis-based Lumina Foundation on Wednesday promised as much as $200,000 to the communities over three years. The foundation's goal is to raise the percentage of Americans with college degrees from 38 percent to 60 percent by 2025.
In several communities, the Lumina support will boost existing efforts like Louisville, Ky.'s 55,000 Degrees program and Say Yes in Syracuse and Buffalo.
Also chosen were Albuquerque, N.M.; Boston; Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio; Columbus and Fort Wayne, Ind.; Greensboro, N.C.; Houston and San Antonio, Texas; Kalamazoo, Mich.; Memphis, Tenn.; Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Pa.; Providence, R.I.; Quad Cities, Iowa/Ill.; Santa Ana, Calif. and South Seattle, Wash.
The Shelby County Health Department has launched its first mobile app, part of a new campaign to reduce the local infant mortality rate.
B4BabyLife is now available on the Android and iPhone platforms, and the aim of the free app is to encourage healthy pregnancies and healthy babies by giving families information they can use before, during and after pregnancy.
Features of the app include prenatal information, access to local resources, ways for fathers to help and information on how to stay healthy before and between pregnancies.
Medtronic Inc. is awarding three Health Access Grants totaling half a million dollars to a trio of Memphis-area groups.
Christ Community Health Services is getting $225,000 to go toward a high blood pressure-screening program for adults in Orange Mound. The Church Health Center is getting $200,000 to expand its Wellness 4 Life program, and Health Shelby is getting $75,000 to start a community registry of people suffering from hypertension that won't have patient-identifying information.
Memphis City Council members voted down Tuesday, Dec. 3, the long-delayed effort by the Wharton administration to reset the city's solid waste fee at the higher rate it was before the July 1 start of the current fiscal year.
And the council approved a retirement supplement of up to $1,000 a month for city sanitation workers, with an amendment that if savings don't materialize after an overhaul of sanitation services, the supplement will not be paid by the city.
City Chief Administrative Officer George Little insisted the two items were separate matters for the council.
But when the council approved the supplement after denying the solid waste fee hike, Little said the savings to fund the supplement would probably be more difficult but not impossible for the city to realize.
The savings are supposed to be realized through an agreement with the union representing sanitation workers for them to work on routes that include more stops, increasing efficiency.
The revenue from the fee hike would have gone to buy new recycling containers to increase the materials the city recycles as well as update a vehicle fleet that is nearly 20 years old.
Tim Haynes has been promoted to vice president and chief information officer of The ServiceMaster Co. effective immediately.
Robert Gillette, CEO of the Memphis-based provider of residential and commercial services, appointed Haynes to replace Linda Goodspeed, who is leaving the position at the end of December after becoming CIO in 2011.
Haynes had been serving as vice president and information technology business partner for the American Home Shield, ServiceMaster Clean and Merry Maids divisions of ServiceMaster.
The effort to get high-speed broadband in every school is getting a boost from the philanthropy of two technology gurus – Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg and Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates.
Zuckerberg's Startup: Education and Gates' foundation have contributed a combined $9 million to the nonprofit EducationSuperHighway. The San Francisco-based nonprofit is working to improve connectivity in schools.
Nearly every school has Internet access, but for many, that doesn't include classrooms or the connections are super-slow. That makes it difficult to videoconference scientists with students or to have digital learning programs on tablets such as iPads.
President Barack Obama's goal is to have 99 percent of students connected to superfast Internet within five years. The Federal Communications Commission is weighing changes to a program to increase connectivity in schools.
When Madison County Sheriff David Woolfork was indicted on sexual assault and domestic violence assault Monday, Dec. 2, by a grand jury in Jackson, Tenn., it was the formal start of a criminal case that will be prosecuted by the Shelby County District Attorney General's office.
Shelby County District Attorney General Amy Weirich signed the indictments following the recusal of Madison County District Attorney General Jerry Woodall. Woolfork's office works with Woodall's office in prosecuting Madison County cases.
Prosecutors from Shelby County will handle the case against Woolfork in Madison County Circuit Court. Woolfork is accused of sexually assaulting a civilian employee of his department at her home in October.
Woolfork turned himself in at the Chester County Jail Monday, was booked and then released on a $20,000 bond.
Madison County Commissioners passed a resolution in November urging Woolfork to resign after the group commissioned an independent investigation of two allegations of sexual harrassment by Woolfork.
A joint venture comprised of Memphis-based Fogelman Venture Partners and New
York-based DRA Advisors LLC has acquired The Savoy, a 252-unit apartment community in the Kansas City, Kan., suburb Overland Park.
The Class A apartment community was developed in 2002 and offers one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans. Rental rates range from $899 to $1,635 per month.
Overland Park is the second-largest city in Kansas, and is home to the Sprint world headquarters and Black & Veech.
Memphis-based Fogelman Management Group, which manages 64 apartment communities across the Southeast, Southwest and Midwest, will manage the newly acquired property.
The holiday season has arrived, and friends and family will soon begin exchanging presents. But for many hospital patients, one gift on their wish list can't be found at stores: a blood donation.
The American Red Cross is asking people to donate blood for the holidays. Those in the Memphis area can participate in the Red Cross holiday blood drive on Monday, Dec. 23, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Ed Rice Community Center, 2907 N. Watkins St.
The Red Cross said that all blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients.
To donate, a blood donor card or driver's license, or two other forms of identification, are required at check-in. People who are 17 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood.

Arkansas' revenue in November fell below last year's figures and predictions for this year, financial officials said Tuesday.
The state Department of Finance and Administration reported that Arkansas' net available revenue for last month totaled $349.7 million, which was $800,000 less than November 2012 and $8.4 million below forecast.
The department said the November numbers were affected by swings in corporate income taxes.
Gross collections in corporate tax income were $4.2 million below forecast and 41.6 percent below last year's levels. Corporate refunds, meanwhile, were $2.6 million above expectations and 36.6 percent above last year's levels.
Arkansas' net available revenue so far for the fiscal year that began July 1 totaled more than $2 billion, which is $29.4 million ahead of forecast.
The development team behind a proposed Whole Foods store in Germantown has withdrawn its application from the Germantown Planning Commission's Tuesday, Dec. 3, agenda and will return next month.
"There are a few engineering issues, primarily traffic, that city staff needs to address," said Germantown City Administrator Patrick Lawton.
Whole Foods Market and local development firm Cypress Realty Holdings Co., in conjunction with Ford Jarratt Realty & Development Co., in October submitted plans to the city of Germantown to develop a 41,000-square-foot, freestanding Whole Foods store.
The proposed store would be on the southeast corner of the intersection of Poplar Avenue and Pete Mitchell Road, on the eastern edge of Germantown's Central Business District and across Poplar from the Germantown Collection shopping center.
The site plan for the new Whole Foods, developed under Germantown's smart growth plan, shows the store being built close to Poplar with landscaped parking areas at the intersection of Poplar and Pete Mitchell and behind the store along Pete Mitchell.
Whole Foods, founded in 1980 in Austin, Texas, has been active in the Memphis area lately. In addition to the planned Germantown store, the specialty grocer is in the midst of a $3.1 million expansion of its East Memphis location. Whole Foods is relocating its current 25,000-square-foot store at 5022 Poplar into the space next door formerly occupied by Office Depot.
With the Thanksgiving travel days now past, Delta Air Lines has followed through with further cuts in air service at Memphis International Airport, reducing its number of flights to approximately 40 a day.
The 24 daily flight cuts, which began Tuesday, Dec. 3, were announced by the Atlanta-based air carrier in October. With it, Delta executives also announced the first job cuts at its Memphis airline operations since it dehubbed Memphis International Airport earlier this year. The 126 jobs included closing a flight attendant center at Memphis.
The Delta cuts over the past two years have been so significant that origin and destination air traffic, not connecting flights, now comprise the majority of flights into and out of Memphis. Before the Northwest Airlines-Delta Air Lines merger in 2008 and in the early years of the merger, the majority of passenger traffic was connecting flights.
Flight Restaurant and Wine Bar has been named a winner of OpenTable Diners' Choice Awards for the top 100 restaurants in the United States that specialize in American cuisine.
Based on feedback collected from OpenTable diners between Nov. 1, 2012, and October 2013, the 100 award-winning restaurants received the highest scores.
Flight Restaurant and Wine Bar is at 39 S. Main St.
Five Memphis-area artists will be the first recipients of ArtsAccelerator grants, created earlier this year by ArtsMemphis to help individual working artists in the field of visual arts.
The winners are Ben Butler, Mary Jo Karimnia, Susan Maakestad, Brandon Marshall, and Terri Phillips. Each artist will receive a $3,000 ArtsAccelerator grant, and all projects will be completed by August 2014.
ArtsAccelerator grants are designed as incentive grants for the visual arts to help local artists offset expenses.
Arkansas finance officials are releasing the general revenue forecast for the coming fiscal year ahead of next year's legislative session.
The Legislature convenes in February for a session devoted to the state's budget. On Monday, the Department of Finance and Administration released its official general revenue forecast for the coming fiscal year, along with an update for the current fiscal year.
The agency says net available revenues in the 2015 fiscal year are expected to increase by about 2 percent compared to the forecast for the current fiscal year, which ends June 30. The agency also revised its forecast for the current fiscal year down .3 percent compared to its previous forecast.
Gov. Mike Beebe said Monday that the latest numbers reflect slow growth.
U.S. developers boosted construction spending in October at the fastest pace in more than four years, propelled by a surge in government projects. But spending on home construction and commercial projects both fell.
Overall construction spending increased 0.8 percent in October to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $908.4 billion, the Labor Department said Monday. That's up from September, when spending fell 0.3 percent.
The October pace was the best since May 2009 and was driven by a 3.9 percent surge in public spending. Federal spending increased 10.9 percent, suggesting the 16-day partial government shutdown had little impact on public projects.
Spending on state and local government construction also rose. One troubling sign: Home construction fell 0.6 percent in October from September, dragged lower by a drop in single-family homes.
But spending on home construction has surged 17.8 percent in the past 12 months, the fastest year-over-year pace since the peak of the 2008 financial crisis. And a recent jump in permits to build apartments indicates that will continue.
Deutsche Bank chief U.S. economist Joseph Lavorgna said that spending on single-family houses should rebound given plans by homebuilders to ramp up construction.
"The recent dip should reverse course given the ongoing improvement in permits for new construction," Lavorgna said in a client note.
Nonresidential spending fell 0.5 percent in October from September, lowered by declines in the building of private power plants, communication facilities and amusement parks and recreation centers. Construction of office buildings, hotels and private schools all increased.
The decline in home construction in October may prove temporary. Permits issued to build apartments increased in October at their fastest pace in more than five years.
But permits for single-family home construction rose only slightly and were at the same pace as in May.
The Memphis Area Transit Authority has stopped calling the Downtown-Whitehaven express bus service it launched in September the "Whitehaven Flyer."
In a set of route changes that began Sunday, Dec. 1, the transit authority has added more stops for the express bus route now known as 46-Whitehaven. As an express route, the bus took half an hour to travel between Downtown and Whitehaven, making minimal stops. It will now make all stops on the route, which remains mostly north and south on Bellevue and Elvis Presley boulevards.
The revised route will also serve the Benjamin L. Hooks Job Corps Center, 1555 McAlister Drive. The facility is a federally run education and technical training center for teenagers and young adults.
The center had previously been served with morning and afternoon drive trips on the 42-Crosstown route.
The Crosstown route was the other major change the transit authority announced in September, combining several previously separate routes into the Crosstown service. The consolidation has created fuller buses.
As of Dec. 1, the scheduled times for 42 Crosstown have been adjusted to add four minutes to the run time of each trip.
The two changes are part of a set of changes to 11 routes that the transit authority estimates will add $100,000 to the system's annual operating cost. MATA leaders plan to make it up by the end of the fiscal year on June 30 with "other cost-saving measures."
The National Association of Independent Life Brokerage Agencies has presented Jack Dewald, president of Agency Services Inc. in Memphis, with its 2013 Douglas Mooers Award for Excellence.
The annual award honors distinction in brokerage and is given to a person deemed most committed to furthering independent life brokerage as a distribution system, and who demonstrates an exemplary record of community service.
Dewald has been in the life insurance industry for more than 30 years and has served in a variety of volunteer leadership positions, including a year in service as the chairman of the national association.
Former Shelby County Schools board member Patrice Robinson has pulled a qualifying petition to run for the Shelby County Commission in the May Democratic county primaries.
Robinson is seeking the District 9 seat in an election that will mark the start of a new structure for the commission as it moves to single-member districts.
Robinson informally announced this summer her intention to seek the commission seat.
Also picking up qualifying petitions before the Thanksgiving holiday were Cynthia Gentry, who has a petition out for Juvenile Court clerk in the May Democratic primary.
Republican incumbent clerk Joy Touliatos checked out her qualifying petition on Nov. 22, the first day prospective candidates could get the paperwork for 2014.
And Ernie Lunati, a perennial candidate in past elections, checked out a qualifying petition in the Republican primary for Shelby County mayor.
Republican incumbent Mayor Mark Luttrell is expected to seek re-election in 2014.
Potential candidates have until Feb. 20 to file their qualifying petitions for a place on the ballot.
Businesses spent less last month on machinery, computers and most other items, lowering orders for U.S. long-lasting factory goods. The decline suggests companies may have been reluctant to invest during the 16-day partial government shutdown
The Commerce Department said last week that orders for durable goods dropped 2 percent in October from September. That follows a 4.1 percent increase in September from August.
Durable goods are meant to last at least three years.
Demand for commercial aircraft plunged nearly 16 percent last month, accounting for much of the decline. But orders also fell 1.2 percent in a closely watched category, known as core capital goods, which excludes volatile transportation and defense orders. That was the second straight drop.
Economists pay closer attention to core capital goods because those orders can reflect businesses' confidence in the economy.
Many companies may have held off placing orders in October, awaiting the outcome of a budget impasse that shut down parts of the federal government.
However, the report conflicts with a private sector survey released earlier this month that showed companies shrugged off the shutdown and boosted orders.
The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group, said factory activity accelerated for the fifth straight month in October to the fastest pace in 2 1/2 years. The survey's measure of new orders ticked up and production remained strong, though it slowed from the previous month.
Other reports have suggested that manufacturing has picked up since the spring. Strong auto sales and a healthier housing market have pushed up demand for steel and other metals, auto parts, furniture and appliances.

With last month's court decision to kill net neutrality, Internet users are on the lookout for signs of preferential handling of network traffic. Doing the rounds today is a blog post by David Raphael.
Raphael's boss had noticed slow Internet performance at work. Raphael had noticed the same thing at home, and both he and his office were using Verizon's FiOS service. So he performed some testing. His work used Amazon's AWS for hosting, so he used AWS for his testing. He put a file on the S3 storage service and downloaded it at home. The transfer rate was a positively feeble 40 kilobytes per second.
He then connected to his office and downloaded the same file again. This time? 5,000 kilobytes per second.
Though this was somewhat more respectable, it was still a long way short of the 75 megabits per second that a speedtest reported his connection as. At around 4pm each day, Raphael's home Internet performance to AWS fell precipitously.
Update: I originally wrote 500KBps. The correct speed is 5,000KBps. 5,000KBps is very respectable.
Raphael contacted Verizon's customer service, chatting online to a representative to complain about the low speeds. After some amount of to-ing and fro-ing, along with the usual pointless rebooting of routers and patching of systems, Raphael asserted to the rep that something was limiting the bandwidth and asked if Verizon was limiting bandwidth to cloud providers. The customer service rep parroted his question back at him, apparently confirming his suspicions. Raphael asked if this was also behind poor Netflix performance; again the rep said yes.
The blog post was concluded with a pair of traceroutes that Raphael thought significant. They showed the paths taken to AWS from his home connection and his work connection.
Verizon's official line is that the customer service rep was misinformed, and that it treats all traffic equally.
First, a statement of the obvious. Customer service reps are pretty much the last people who would know about such a policy, let alone be able to inform customers of it. Add to this the usual confounding factors—non-native English speakers, a desire to "resolve" the customer's problem as quickly as possible (even if this means simply agreeing to what they say just to make them go away), and insufficient knowledge to actually go off-script—and the statements that Raphael cites as evidence don't really stand up.
As tempting as it may be when frustrated that your Internet connection isn't working as well as it should be, it's simply not fair to ask that kind of question to a low-level support person, much less use a chat transcript to accuse companies of widely unpopular behavior.
ISPs keep their networks opaque
But the bigger issue is this. It's not impossible that Verizon is giving preferential treatment to traffic. The technology exists to do such things, and Verizon was the company that challenged the net neutrality mandate, so it's not as if it isn't interested in giving some traffic better treatment than other traffic. It's just that as an end-user, it's really hard to tell.
We looked last year at the complexities of the relationships and deals between online video streaming and Internet service providers. Some traffic travels across paid links; other traffic goes across free, unpaid links. Sometimes companies get into disputes over what the fair rate to pay is and don't buy as much bandwidth as they need, leading to congestion and poor performance when connecting to certain services.
Even apart from issues with connectivity between providers, there can be bandwidth issues within a company's network. A street of 50 houses might boast 75 megabits per second of optic fibre Internet per household, but that doesn't mean that there's (75 × 50) = 3.75 gigabits per second of bandwidth between those houses and the ISP's core network. Those 50 connections might be aggregated into, say, a 1 gigabit link. If everyone in the street is hammering their Internet connection to download Linux ISOs from BitTorrent, they're simply not going to get the 75Mbps that their connections notionally provide. They'll be limited to an average of 20Mbps.At one time it was common in the UK for ISPs to cite this provisioning ratio; typically it was 50:1 for consumer-oriented products and 20:1 for business ones. That is to say, for every 50 megabits per second of bandwidth sold to end users, only one megabit of bandwidth on the ISP's core network was available.
Raphael's description of the testing he performed (downloading remotely, rather than via VPN) doesn't rule out this much more mundane problem. The last hop, between Verizon's core network and Raphael's home (or office) could well be the source of the slowdown. If at 4pm each afternoon the kids are back from school, watching cartoons on Netflix and YouTube, watching streaming games on Twitch, and all the other bandwidth intensive things that we know home users tend to do in the afternoons and evenings, we'd expect to see poor performance on residential connections.
Business services, which tend to have lower contention and don't tend to have the same afternoon/evening surge, will be fine, even after 4pm.
To be able to authoritatively pinpoint the sources of slowness requires a lot more knowledge of ISP networks than ISPs are willing to disclose. As end users, we simply can't see which network ports on which switches and routers are running close to capacity. We don't know which links are massively oversubscribed. We also have no insight into who is buying bandwidth from who.
This leaves us little way of distinguishing between poor performance that's a "natural" result of congestion and poor performance that's an "artificial" result of traffic shaping and prioritizing. From an end-user perspective, Verizon throttling connections to AWS to 40kbps would look essentially identical to excessive network usage causing the link between Verizon and AWS to support only an average of 40kbps per connection. It would also look very similar to local congestion causing the same average throughput.
Verizon could, if it wanted to, figure out where the slowdown was coming from. Its network equipment will expose the information the company needs to determine which links are congested and which are not. Verizon may not be altogether interested in making and publicizing that information, however. ISPs seem to regard this kind of detail as a trade secret and are reluctant to disclose a level of overselling that'd make airlines blush.
With ISPs apparently now free to prioritize network traffic in whatever ways they see fit, it's certainly wise to be on the lookout for ISPs providing differentiated services in ways that put their customers at a disadvantage. But that vigilance needs to be tempered with an understanding of how ISPs actually work and much more careful analysis of network performance. Comments from first-tier support personnel aren't enough to draw any conclusions.

Charge notebook: Biggs doesn't play against Charge
Saturday was supposed to be Tyrell Biggs' return to Canton. The Charge traded Biggs to Reno in early December for a draft pick. But the 6-foot-8 forward, who averaged 11.0 points and 6.0 rebounds in three games for the Charge, has yet to play for the Big Horns because of a severe calf strain.
"He tore up the calf in our first practice with about 10 minutes to go in the practice and he's been out since then," Reno head coach Joel Abelson said. "It's been pretty disappointing. We had him penciled in as our starting power forward. … We're looking forward to having him back, whenever that happens."
Reno has no timetable on Biggs' return. He returned to practice this week, and Abelson said Biggs is "nowhere close."
"You try to do anything on it and reinjure it, you're back at square one," he said about the calf.
Biggs was the Charge's first-ever draft pick and was a 2011-12 D-League All-Star for Canton.
Roster move
The Charge put guard Rashad Anderson on the inactive list and activated forward Shane Edwards, who missed last week's loss at Fort Wayne because of ankle soreness. Charge head coach Steve Hetzel said there's nothing wrong with Anderson physically.
"Someone had to be inactive," Hetzel explained. "That's the way the D-League goes."
Anderson scored a team-high 19 points in the Charge's season-opening win at Erie on Nov. 22 and hasn't reached double figures since. He went 0-for-17 from the 3-point line over a stretch of six games.
Girl on the way
Hetzel and his wife, Anne, learned Thursday they are having a baby girl. Anne is about four months pregnant. The couple already have a 4-year-old son, Aden.
Alaskan assassin
Three NBA scouts attended Saturday's game between the Charge and Big Horns. One was former Duke star and Cleveland Cavalier Trajan Langdon, who scouts for the Spurs now that his playing days overseas are over.

Eolas Technologies Inc. acted on behalf of the University of California Regents today to sue Facebook, Wal-Mart, and Disney over four patents related to hypermedia display. The University of California has licensed the four patents to Eolas, who is litigating on behalf of the UC Regents. The company gained notoriety several years ago when it sued Microsoft in a lengthy courtroom battle which ended with a settlement in 2007. Eolas was initially founded to litigate on behalf of the UC system's patents, and has earned critics for its aggressive litigation.
The patents, according to the complaint filed against Facebook in the Eastern District of Texas today, include patent No. 5,838,906 which covers a "distributed hypermedia method for automatically invoking an external application providing interaction and display of embedded objects within a hypermedia document," and patents No. 7,599,985; No. 8,082,293; and No. 8,086,662; all of which pertain to a "distributed hypermedia method and system for automatically invoking an external application providing interaction and display of embedded objects within a hypermedia document."
Reuters reported that, "a University of California spokesman said it considered the patents public assets and 'should be paid a fair value when a third party exploits that university asset for profit.'" Meanwhile, Eolas' complaint did not enumerate which parts of Facebook's website and holdings were in violation specifically, but wrote that, "the acts and practices of Facebook in infringing and/or inducing the infringement of one or more claims of each of the patents-in-suit, Plaintiffs have been, are being, and, unless such acts and practices are enjoined by the Court, will continue to suffer injury to their business and property rights."
Facebook told Reuters that it did not believe it had infringed and would fight the suit. Wal-Mart said it would look into the matter and Disney did not respond to a request for comment.

Bad Eggs Unblocked Weebly
You can create pop-ups with the Weebly software. These pop-ups can be used to send out announcements or ask for an email address. The builder is intuitive and simple to use so you can quickly create your own messages. You can also find specific features in the App Center for each type of pop-up. You can also use a combination of these features to create the ultimate pop-up experience.
Weebly provides an intuitive interface, full eCommerce functionality, responsive themes, and detailed site statistics. Users can also download website code in HTML and CSS. The paid plans allow for more advanced analytics. Weebly also offers an app for iPad. Weebly's free plan has some drawbacks. There is no mobile customization, no reusable photos, and no undo functionality. But they're far outweighed by the benefits.
The App Center is another cool feature. You can find dozens of applications to extend your site's functionality and design. Apps can save you both time and money, even though you might need to hire a web designer to make this happen. Some applications can slow down your site. Weebly has more applications than other website builders but not many in data backup and social media marketing. However, it does offer ads in its App Center.
Premium accounts allow you the ability to add Product and Store pages. Premium account holders can import products from other websites and accept payments through Stripe, PayPal, and Square. Weebly also offers tools for inventory tracking and managing abandoned shopping carts. This allows students and teachers to create digital content without any technical knowledge. Weebly is a powerful tool for creating free websites. It's easy and quick to create a website with Weebly.
Weebly's paid version offers advanced options for marketing, communication, eCommerce, and more. Their apps can be used to create email marketing campaigns, automate emails, manage abandoned shopping carts, and many other things. There's also an app that lets you customize your site's appearance and add new pages. It's worth a try if you aren't sure if this tool is right. You'll be glad you did!
Weebly offers drag and drop functionality. Drag and drop elements onto a page, then edit them. You can also add text, images, and video to the menu bar. You can embed custom code, unlike other website builders. Once you've mastered the Drag and Drop editor, it's easy to edit the site. You can use one of the built in elements if you aren't comfortable with drag and drop.
You have many options to customize the look and feel on your Weebly site. Customizing your page's URL and adding meta-descriptions are just a couple of the options you can choose. Weebly's code compresses and reduces the file size of uploaded images, making your website more mobile-friendly and faster. A customized theme is a must if you are serious about SEO.
Another great feature of Weebly? It lets you create a professional-looking G Suite address. If you are creating a portfolio, or simply want to use the service free of charge, you won't have to pay anything. But the free plan's features are limited, and you'll have to pay for these features if you want to have your own custom email address. The good news is that the Weebly email marketing feature is free, and you'll get plenty of email ideas in no time. It automatically creates emails based upon certain actions on your site.

Police & Fire: January 29, 2013
Pair arrested
Sault Police executed a Monday evening traffic stop in Moloney's Alley after noting a possible expired tag.
The driver was unsuccessful in her attempts to locate the required paperwork and her search was hindered by the activities of her agitated passengers. Police attempted to get the passengers to move away from the scene, but those efforts failed to have a calming effect as one man began screaming before head-butting his vehicle.
Ricky Barfell, 21, Kincheloe was arrested for disorderly person after his outburst. A second passenger, Brandi St. Andrew, 21, of Kincheloe was also arrested for resisting and obstructing after pushing the officer in the chest while attempting to prevent Barfell's arrest.
Sault Police credited a bystander for assisting them at the scene prior to the arrival of additional law enforcement personnel.
The driver, Angela Barfell, 23, of Kincheloe was cited for no insurance, while the other two were subsequently booked into the Chippewa County Jail.

Chippewa County Sheriff Deputies report a trio of weekend arrests after coming into contact with intoxicated drivers.

• Deborah L. Proulx, 42, of Dafter was arrested for OWI after her vehicle was stopped shortly before 1 a.m. Saturday for weaving on M-28. Proulx was also cited for driving left of center before being booked into the Chippewa County Jail.
• Joshua A. McCollum, 23, of the Sault was arrested for OWI shortly before 3 a.m. Saturday after his vehicle went off the road while traveling on I-75 near mile marker 390. McCollum was also cited for speed - too fast for conditions before being booked into the county jail.

Chippewa County Sheriff Deputies report a number of recent warrant arrests.
• Sean R. Stiles, 25, of the Sault was arrested Friday at a Soo Township restaurant and lodged in the county jail on the force of an outstanding warrant.
• Roxanne E. Blalock, 39, of the Sault was taken into custody Friday at a M-129 residence on the force of an outstanding warrant; she was booked into the county jail.
• Randy J. Mills, 34, of Pickford was picked up by Mackinac County Deputies on Friday on the force of a warrant out of the 50th Circuit Court. Mills was conveyed to a predetermined meeting point at the juncture of I-75 and M-123 where he was turned over to Chippewa County Sheriff Deputies and he was subsequently conveyed back to the Sault for booking.
• James F. Perry, 23, of Rudyard was arrested on a Friend of the Court warrant early Saturday morning while traveling along I-75 near Four Mile Road. Perry was lodged in the county jail.
• Matthew J. Vassar, 34, of Cedarville was arrested Saturday evening on a Friend of the Court warrant. Vassar was lodged in the Chippewa County Jail.
City police are investigating the apparent theft of an iPhone from a bathroom at Lake Superior State University's Crawford Hall. The owner reportedly left the device, valued at $200, on a ledge around 5 p.m. Wednesday and attempted to retrieve it a couple hours later only to find it was no longer there.
Police do not have any suspects related to this matter.
Minor mishap
Sault Police also report investigating a Saturday mishap where a southbound vehicle rear-ended a second on Ashmun Street shortly after noon. Both vehicles sustained minor damage and none of the occupants required immediate medical attention.
There were no citations issued.
Car fire
Chippewa County Sheriff Deputies and the Rudyard Fire Department responded to a vehicle fire on northbound I-75 near mile marker 370 Friday evening.
The vehicle, which reportedly began smoking just south of M-48, was a total loss with reports indicating it was 95 percent charred by the time the flames were extinguished.
All of the occupants escaped unscathed.
Deputies also report that one of the occupants, Ashley L. Dehn, 20, of Alpena was arrested for minor consuming after sobriety tests revealed she had been consuming alcohol despite the fact that she had not yet attained the legal drinking age.
Dehn was lodged in the Chippewa County Jail.

Scale shipmodelbuilding
Today, this fashionable hobby, as a large-scale shipmodelbuilding sailing quite a novelty: you can buy kits with prefabricated parts and build a scale model of the ship, thus verifying their skills, perseverance and patience. But a temporary fad, a craze, so to speak, could develop into something more. The test of time shows that many young modelers in the future is so addicted to the process shipmodelbuilding that are born into the world-scale sailing ships and frigates, exact copies of the originals with a jeweler's precision fitted parts and units. It is a hobby from the category of cost, since all parts are handmade from natural materials. Also will need to purchase special tools and devices. For a man far removed from shipmodelbuilding it may seem, at least, strange but true modeler knows that a large-scale shipmodelbuilding sailing involves complete dissolution in the process of building a ship and a certain detachment from the world. Only in such circumstances, the result will exceed all expectations, not only others, but also the creator of the sailboat. In recreating a scale model is a scenario and work plan, which should adhere to result in a reduced dozens of times a copy of the famous sailing ship. The process itself becomes of shipmodelbuilding process is still in school - the modeller knows the structure of the sailing vessel, its main parts and components, and approaches the number of professional shipbuilders.

St. Louis celebrates life of Stan 'The Man'
Stan Musial was remembered during a funeral and memorial outside Busch Stadium on Saturday as a Hall of Famer and a St. Louis icon embraced by generations of fans who never had the privilege of watching him play.
Broadcaster Bob Costas, his voice cracking at times, pointed out during a two-hour Mass that in 92 years of life, Stan the Man never let anyone down.
Costas noted that even though Musial, who died Jan. 19, was a three-time NL MVP and seven-time batting champion, the pride of Donora, Pa., lacked a singular achievement. Joe DiMaggio had a 56-game hitting streak, Ted Williams was the last major leaguer to hit .400, and Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle soared to stardom in the New York spotlight. Musial didn't quite reach the 500-homer club — he finished with 475 — and played in his final World Series in 1946, "wouldn't you know it, the year before they started televising the Fall Classic!"
"What was the hook with Stan Musial other than the distinctive stance and the role of one of baseball's best hitters?" Costas said. "It seems that all Stan had going for him was more than two decades of sustained excellence as a ballplayer and more than nine decades as a thoroughly decent human being. Where is the single person to truthfully say a bad word about him?"
There was enough room in the large Roman Catholic church for a handful of fans. One of them wore a vintage, No. 6 Musial jersey. Another clapped softly as pallbearers carried the casket from the church to the hearse to the tune of bagpipes.
Among those in attendance were former St. Louis standout Albert Pujols and Hall of Famers Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Ozzie Smith, Bruce Sutter, Whitey Herzog and 90-year-old Red Schoendienst, who once roomed with Musial. Joe Torre, a former MVP and manager in St. Louis, and Tony La Russa, who became close with Musial during his 16 seasons managing the Cardinals, sat near the front along with current manager Mike Matheny.
Jim Edmonds, a star center fielder for two World Series teams in the 2000s, has the same last name as one of Musial's sons-in-law. He said Musial informed him that they were distant relatives, and greeted him as "Hey, Cuz!"
"I thought he was kidding at first," Edmonds said. "That's pretty cool."
Jack Clark, a slugging first baseman for the Cardinals during the 1980s, said he perhaps respected Musial most for his decency during baseball's sometimes difficult period of integration in the 1940s and 1950s.
"Stan kind of crossed that color barrier. When people were getting on the African-American players, he stuck up for them. It was a time when you could kind of get your finger pointed at you for that stuff," Clark said. "People loved him, and he loved them right back."
Bishop Richard Stika, pastor at Musial's' church in suburban St. Louis for several years, speculated during the homily about why Musial was never ejected from a game during his career: "I think deep down, that was because he didn't want to go home and face Lil."
Musial's wife of nearly 72 years, Lillian, died last year.
Grandson Andrew Edmonds said the public Musial was no different from the private Musial, the grandpa who bought McDonalds for the family every Sunday. He recalled a fan telling him, "Your grandpa's best attribute is he made nobodies feel like somebodies."
Pallbearers included Cardinals President Bill DeWitt III, Musial grandsons Andrew Edmonds and Brian Schwarze, and the retired star's longtime business partner in Stan the Man Inc., Dick Zitzmann.
After the service, the hearse and vans filled with the Cardinals' delegation drove to Busch Stadium, where Musial's family laid flowers at the base of one of his statues — the one that made the move across the street from the old Busch — while being serenaded by "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." Color guards from the city's fire and police departments flanked the statue, along with more than a dozen ballpark ushers. A single Clydesdale walked slowly down the street.
Cardinals closer Jason Motte shook his head.
"This is nothing like I've ever seen," he said.
During a funeral that was almost entirely upbeat, son-in-law Martin Schwarze got the biggest laugh when he recounted a 1995 radio interview with Jack Buck during which Musial was asked how good of a hitter he'd have been had he played in the modern era. Musial, who finished with a .331 career batting average, replied he probably would have batted about .275, and Buck said "Whoa, whoa, whoa," that's way too low.
Then Musial added with a chuckle, "Hey, Jack, I'm 75!"
Thousands filed through the Cathedral Basilica at Musial's six-hour public visitation on Thursday, and hundreds more attended the service.
Hundreds more were waiting at the more prominent of the two Musial statues outside Busch Stadium, where fans have gathered since Musial died after several years of declining health. Next to the statues were flowers, balloons, teddy bears, helmets, autographed items and a homemade sign that read "Thanks for the memories. You live in our hearts, No. 6."
"He's been a hero to us for four generations," Kathy Noorman of Wentzville, Mo., said, speaking near the statue. "He was such a good man, somebody you can hold up to grandkids and your own kids as an example of who they should be."
Mark Springman, 57, of Alton, Ill., brought a bottle of champagne to the statue shrine. He saw Musial play in 1963, Stan the Man's final season, and has been a season-ticket holder for about 15 years. "He was more than a ballplayer," Springman said. "He was the man."

DLTK's Educational Activities: Aesop's Fables
The Three Bulls and the Lion Printable Felt Board Characters
In this section I've put together some simple pages to go with the Aesop's fable about the bulls and the lion. You can use them in a couple of ways:
Use the sheets as... PUPPETS
- Either print the black and white sheet to color
- print the color page
- Cut out each image and tape it to a popsicle stick or an unsharpened pencil.
Use the sheets as... FELT BOARD CHARACTERS
- Either print the black and white sheet to color
- print the color page
- You can cover with clear contact paper or laminate if you want them to last longer.
- Cut out each character.
- Cut out a small piece of coarse sandpaper and tape or glue it on the back of each character (if you laminated, it will need to be a larger piece of sandpaper). The sandpaper will allow the characters to stick on your felt board.
- The fable is quite short, but if you own a felt board it's still nice to put up felt board characters and point to them as they are mentioned in the story.
- Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
- Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).

Shipping Policy
I do combine shipping when possible for smaller items and refund shipping overages if they're over $1.50. Note, many large items cannot be combined into one box and must be shipped separately to give them the best chance of making their way to you safely. I'm not trying to make money off of shipping charges, and will do my best to provide you with the lowest possible cost. I strive to ship items no later than the following business day. Items are generally shipped USPS priority mail which includes $50 insurance. All items are carefully packaged. If an item is damaged during shipping, please take pictures and let me know immediately so a claim can be filed with the shipper. If you prefer an alternate shipping method please send me a message to discuss options.
Sometimes Priority Mail shipping is cost prohibitive (especially for those on the West Coast). Send me a message and we'll see if Flat Rate shipping is possible. Prices for this service is generally about $19 for a "Large" box and about $13.65 for a "Medium" box. Note that USPS Flat Rate boxes aren't that big, so this might not be an option when purchasing larger items.
All items are described as accurately as possible, and any damage noted. Items are twenty or more years old and may show wear consistent with age/use. I encourage you to ask any questions prior to purchase. I generally do not accept returns, but there are always exceptions, so please message me if you feel you need to return an item. If you are not satisfied with your purchase for any reason please reach out right away so that we may reach an amicable solution, I want you to be happy with and enjoy your purchase!
I enjoy finding vintage pieces and moving them along to new homes. I'm an easy going person and do this more as a hobby than a business, I like researching these old items to find their origins/history. If you want to discuss any items listed, tell me I'm way off base on my pricing, wrong on my description, or whatever convo me!

Spicy Peanut Butter & Pepper Jelly Chicken Wings – Gimmicky, But No Gimmick
60 comments:
no offence but this sounds like a weird (horrible) combination...
- January 11, 2012 at 1:42 PM
- Chef John said...
No offense taken, especially since these tasted soooo good. ;-)
- January 11, 2012 at 2:37 PM
Soo many chicken wing recipes, but I would still like a blue cheese dipping sauce recipe
- January 11, 2012 at 2:46 PM
- Peter T said...
Looks great! Can't wait to try it! Which type of oven fry do you prefer? The one you use here or the one in your soy-ginger-garlic wings? Are they interchangeable?
- January 11, 2012 at 5:01 PM
These sound great! We had PBJ on french fries at a food truck in Portland. It was actually a spicy sate sauce with raspberry jelly. Delish! Thanks for another great recipe.
- January 11, 2012 at 6:08 PM
- Chef John said...
they both work, but i think I prefer this method.

Chef, I thought I would let you know that I have come to the conclusion- if I'm ever extremely wealthy in life, I will just have to pay you to experiment and make video recipes full time.
- January 11, 2012 at 8:25 PM

my wife would like to know how you clean your silpat. Especially with the rendered fat all over the place..recipe looks awesome. I'm gonna go eat a cookie.

just hot soapy water! thanks!

Welp, you win and you called it, Chef John. Today for lunch I was eating my peanut butter and jelly sandwich and wishing it had bones in it and tasted like chicken. As a part of my New Years resolution was I attempting to be on a diet where I stayed away from chicken wings and other fun foods, but alas your post made me be honest with myself: I simply love food too much to deprive myself of the simple pleasures like peanut butter and jalapeno jelly (both of which i have sitting in my fridge) smeared on some old fashion chicken wings. Sounds like a nice love affair between my tongue and some wings, so I think I will (as you say) enjoy some wing-age sometime soon..
(and let's face it, my dream of having a garish six pack of abs is no where close to happening. I'll stick with my nice gooey physique and keep on cooking the fun stuff... like peanut butter and jelly pinch pies.)

Somehow, I would also sprinkle sesame seeds over the wings.

- Michael said...
It's pretty bone-larious of you to make that bone joke twice! I find myself saying "this is really good, but I kind of wish it had bones in it" when I'm eating random things.
- January 12, 2012 at 9:07 AM
- Michael said...
That's pretty bone-larious of you to make that bone joke twice! I often find myself quoting or paraphrasing "man, this is really good, but I kind of wish it had bones in it" when I'm eating random things, thankfully my girlfriend finds it funny, as long as I don't overuse it.

Hi Chef,
Any way to make my own pepper jelly?
I'm excited to try these. I never told you this but when I was dating my husband I made your ginger garlic wings for him, and he was hooked :-)He said he knew then that he would marry me. After I gave him my foodwishes.com secret, he sent the video link to his mom and all of his friends.

How nessisary is a silpat mat?
- January 12, 2012 at 1:12 PM
- Chef John said...
You can use non-stick foil, but silpat works so well.

oh my gosh chef john how come you're so funny? this is so down my alley and a lot of my male companions of course. i'm giving it a go next time guys want to invite the wives to sit around and talk shoppin...i mean watch football. (anyways my mouth is still watering. thnx!)

Chef John I'm a viewer from Taiwan. I found your youtube channel bout 2 years ago and I really enjoyed it ever since. I bought some new tools with me to the kitchen, a nice set of Zwilling knives. But iI really don't know how to maintain them and keep them nice and healthy, so could you please do a vedio about how to maintain knives? Forgive me if you already did maybe I just didn't find it!! THANK YOU!!!!
- January 12, 2012 at 6:01 PM
- Food Junkie said...
Sounds MUCH better than the recipe title would suggest.
#unknown - Google abounds with recipes for making your own jalapeno jelly. Apple jelly mixed with chopped pickled jalapenos can be used as a substitute and since this all about making it your own I think a sweet-hot, asian style BBQ or chili sauce might be in the same ballpark for flavour.
- January 13, 2012 at 11:44 AM
Chef John, you should check out Chef Andy Ricker's recipe for Vietnamese fish sauce wings. They will change your life. I think I saw God the first time I bit into one (or it may have been one of Portland's resident street kids. It can be hard to tell sometimes.) If you're not familiar, Ricker won the James Beard Best Chef in the Northwest Award in 2011. I'm sure you were a close second, though. ;)
These look incredible, as well. I'll have to give them a try!

why do you add acid in most of the sauces
- January 13, 2012 at 2:35 PM

These sound so perfectly delicious. I am definitely going to try them soon!

sir, i really admire the way you have presented each and every recipe video online!!
- January 14, 2012 at 1:32 PM
Hey Chef John,
Would a sprinkling of corn starch work instead of the potato stuff?
- January 15, 2012 at 12:00 PM
Made these last night and everyone agreed they were delicious!
Thank you for making it look so simple and easy.
- January 16, 2012 at 4:48 PM
I've been doing all sorts of wing recipes for a few weeks in anticipation of my first super bowl party (well, my first hosting duty), and this one was fantastic!
I'd never used pepper jelly before, so the one I grabbed ended up having an almost honey flavor to it. It gave them a subtle sweet aftertaste that was fantastic.
We had them without dip (we thought they didn't need it), but I'm assuming our guests will be grumpy without the option. Any suggestions?
- January 17, 2012 at 7:24 PM
For a second I thought you were going to say, "Give it the ole tossa, tossa."
- January 18, 2012 at 1:59 AM
hey chef john,
i want to make these but instead of instant mash potatoes can i use bread crumbs or panko bread crumbs? would it give the same crispy-ish texture?
- January 18, 2012 at 5:58 PM
Ok...this, as with every recipe of yours I've ever tried, was OFF THE CHAIN! Even with no sauce they were off the chain! I actually even bought some sriracha hot sauce, so I feel as if I'm an official Chef John groupie now...
- January 19, 2012 at 6:42 PM

I had a Chef John weekend practice before Super Bowl made crispy onion rings, peanut butter and pepper jelly hot wings, pizza dough with homemade pizza sauce!!! It was great ate it all....I will ditto that Super Bowl weekend. Thank you Chef John even my husband is amazed at all your cooking!!!! So glad I found your site
- January 22, 2012 at 6:11 PM
Chef John, I know you have something against vegetarians but I decided to make this recipe exactly as described but with extra-firm tofu cut into chicken wing-sized sticks instead of chicken wings (and just more soy sauce instead of fish sauce). This was some of the best tofu I've ever had! To any vegetarians out there, just sub tofu and try it out. The sauce is amazing, by the way.

Chef John, OMG!! You have done it again. Just made these and they are WONDERFUL!!!!
I did take it and run with it though like you said to do. Did not have fish sauce..had oyster sauce instead. Did not have rice wine vinegar...had sherry instead. Did not have your hot sauce..but had tobasco instead. They turned out absolutely WONDERFUL!!! THANK YOU!!
Lisa in Atlanta
P.S. It's pizza and wings for dinner...made the no knead pizza crust of yours yesterday.
- February 4, 2012 at 5:37 PM
Fantastic! Made these today and am making again this week! Best wings I've ever had. Thank you again, chef.
- February 6, 2012 at 1:27 AM
We delighted in these chicken wings at a super bowl party. And we came home with the recipe. A real winner.
Many thanks....
- February 6, 2012 at 9:36 PM
Replaced the wings with boneless skinless breat. Totes Awesome!
- February 7, 2012 at 11:05 PM
Hey there, You have done an incredible job. I'll definitely digg it and personally recommend to my friends. I'm confident they will be benefited from this web site.

My son has a peanut allergy so I used soy nut butter (I.M. Healthy) and it was just as good as peanut butter. Just thought I would let those with allergies know there is an option that works just as well...Cheers.

Finally trying these for the first time tonight. Terribly excited. All of our friends refuse to eat wings out anymore since I have finally learned to cook them. They say they're better than any of the local places and I say, "Well, that's thanks to Chef John." Thank you!!!

i had to change recepie a bit since in small Polish town we can't get some ingredients for this dish... and it came AWESOME. i'm "addicted" to chicken and it was one of the best i had. BIG thank you from Poland sir.
- March 31, 2012 at 6:01 PM
HA ha. Peanut butter jelly time! These were great! My wife thought I was crazy...... Then she tasted them! She goes mmmm got any more of them? LOL. Was thinking of tweaking this some how next time to make some kind of sweet/sour type wing. But still loved the original too. :) thanks, Joe V.

i made pbj wings (j=grape jelly) on a whim and they were awesome. But i was thinking out of the box and wondered what i could do to incorperate a bite of heat in the pb and still keep the sticky sweet jelly component to the wings... and then i came across your site my man. I am trying the satay sauce with a sweet jelly asap and the i'll try the pepper jelly the next time.

does this recipe taste very peanut buttery? i think it looks good and im so tempted to try but i wanna make sure before that my husband will think the same...

I made these a couple of nights ago and they were pretty darned good. I don't know if they were as good as they could have been cuz I didn't have any fish sauce so I subbed Oyster sauce in it's place. I have no idea what flavor fish sauce brings compared to oyster. MMy wife loved them as I but I do think the oyster sauce over powered the peanut butter. I agree, they do not replace deep frying but I'll do them this way again! Now, off to find the Panda wings recipe! cheers!
- June 2, 2015 at 5:46 PM
- Chef John said...
Yes, fish sauce and oyster sauce are completely different, and I can't imagine that oyster sauce working in these, but I'm glad they came out okay! Fish sauce is much closer to soy sauce, and you should definitely pick up a bottle for future recipes.
- June 3, 2015 at 11:46 AM
- Maggiesara said...
I made the basic recipe, subbing some teriyaki sauce for the PBJ. BOY do I love this technique! The wangs were indeed super-crispy, and I can't wait A) to try out the potato-buds technique on some roasted chix thighs, and B) to try the PBJ sauce.

No joking around when I say this: best damn wings in town, no....the PLANET...still not cutting it. Best damn wings in the cosmos. Thank you chef Jon, you truly are a master with flavors of the known universe.
