Canning zucchini at home is a popular search here on my kitchen blog. I never thought about canning zucchini until last year when I ended up with a lot of zucchini and had to think about how to preserve all that food!
It's been a year since I canned zucchini, tomatoes and squash along with a lot of other yummy veggies and fruits last year. I was absolutely thrilled with the canning results. I used the canned zucchini, tomatoes and squash all winter long to make yummy squash casseroles using our fresh farm eggs. I made these casseroles with and without crust depending on how much time I had. I found that even a simple pie crust recipe worked fine for a quick squash casserole with crust.
I also froze a lot of shredded zucchini. I still have frozen shredded zucchini! I've been using it for making zucchini bread and zucchini muffins. We love zucchini bread and we don't even mind having it for breakfast on occasion.
Here are a series of posts on how I preserved the bulk food I bought from the Amish auction and the market:

In the last two days, I have had two things happen that have helped me to see the importance of personal responsibility.
Yesterday, I met with a mortgage lender to understand what amount I could get for a loan. I was quite surprised by the fact that I was approved for a loan that was much more than we could afford. It made me realize that I could get into a lot of trouble if I wasn't careful.
Today, I was reading an article about obesity and according to the World Health Organization, by 2015 2.3 billion adults will be overweight and 700 million will be obese.
While these two thoughts are completely different, they both deal with personal responsibility. Currently, Congress seems to be on a path to pass laws that protect us from ourselves, such as the proposed laws to ban soda from school cafeterias or trans. fat from food. Regardless of how many laws Congress makes up, they'll never be able to protect people from themselves. Period.
Self discipline has deteriorated so much that the personal responsibility has been replaced with a sense of entitlement. People feel they are entitled to welfare checks, free health care coverage, a good paying job, and a college education.
Politicians bank on this entitlement to get into office by promising the world to voters. The message resonates with people because they feel they deserve all of the items being promised. Congress is spending billions of dollars to help people w/o addressing the root cause. The days of "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" are long gone.
It is easy to sit here and complain about this, but this strong conservative blog always tries to have solutions to go along with the issues. For the time being, I think there are some things we can do, such as tackle welfare reform. In New York City, they were able to cut welfare recipients down by 50% during the late 90's with work requirements, imposition of sanctions, and mandatory workfare jobs. I will get into this more in future posts, but essentially, the government took a firm stance that you at least need to try to get a job to get a free check.
For the future, I think our educational system needs to focus on teaching innovation and leadership, along with the basics. With a more volatile job market, people need to learn how to promote and motivate themselves.
Lastly, I believe that everyone has a circle of influence and that we can encourage those around us to be self-sufficient. I believe that parents can teach the valuable lesson that you have to work hard to make it and that life is not always fair. I really do believe that teachers and school boards can implement education policy that teaches leadership and self-motivation. I believe that coaches of youth leagues can keep score to teach kids (and parents) how to win and lose. Also, I believe there are politicians out there that can inspire us to be better. I hope they do not take the easy way out and promise what they cannot give, but motivate people to be their best.
We can either take responsibility for our future and lead our circle of influence or we can be complacent/hypocritical and complain about all the people who do not take responsibility. It is kind of like all the people who say they hate people who judge others, even though they are judging that group of individuals themselves.
This is your time to change your routine, even if it is mentoring one person, so that we can begin to mold this country.

Outlander on Starz!
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 06-12-2013 - 5:32pm
It's just been announced that Starz is going to produce a series (a' la True Blood and Game of Thrones) based on Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. Has anyone else read the books? Any suggestions for the cast?
|Mon, 06-17-2013 - 4:42pm
Erin, I love, love, love these books! They are a combination of science fiction, romance, and historical fiction-which sounds like it should be a mess, but somehow Diana Gabaldon makes it work. The blurb from Barnes and Noble explains it better than I ever could:
In 1945, Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon--when she innocently touches a boulder in one of the ancient stone circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach--an "outlander"--in a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans in the year of our Lord...1743.
Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire's destiny in soon inextricably intertwined with Clan MacKenzie and the forbidden Castle Leoch. She is catapulted without warning into the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life ...and shatter her heart. For here, James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, shows her a passion so fierce and a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire...and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.
Her husband is two centuries away, she is related to her lover's mortal enemy, and her neighbors think she's a witch. In this unforgettable novel of time travel, Diana Gabaldon fuses wry, modern sensibility with the drama, passion, and violence of eighteenth century as she tells the story of one daring woman and the man who loves her.

That's actually a series I've been wanting to read from people mentioning it! I better get my butt in gear!! :) Thanks for sharing this!
Is there a series or book similar that I may have read? Or what type of genre would you say it is?

What Do Your Valentine's Day Chocolates Say?
Sure, Valentine's Day might be a consumerist holiday invented by Hallmark, but that doesn't mean you can't have a little fun giving your lover a sweet treat with a hidden message.
Sweet Suggestion
Perfect for
Sugarcoated Undertone
The nagging girlfriend who wants a proposal.
Thanks to a Pop Rocks topcoat and a champagne injection, these dark-chocolate Payard truffles sparkle and pop, which are two words that any longtime girlfriend wants to hear. Luckily for the giver, the chocolates don't require a long-term commitment.
The hot-and-cold guy.
The salty and sweet combination of these chocolate-coated Roni-Sue bacon strips reminds you of that dude who always seems to let you down—but then makes up for it just as you are about to write him off. Send him a message with a treat that carries his namesake.
$38 per pound
The beer-goggle slipup.
Valentine's Day falls on a Saturday this year, which means come Sunday morning, who knows who you might be eating breakfast with. Make the hangover—and the awkwardness—a little easier by whipping up some homemade Williams-Sonoma eats before the walk of shame calls.
Your Internet crush.
You always sign your e-mails "XOXO." Now take a nondigital next step with these adorable Tribeca Treats cupcakes.
The closet kinkster.
A Jacques Torres gift that could go two ways: either she thinks you're a sweetie for giving her a five-by-four-inch chocolate lollipop, or she calls you a perv and walks away when she finds out it's called the Spanker.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!

They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates.

Electrical and Electronic Waste Recycling
December 8, 2008 by Zero Waste Singapore
Filed under Recycle
Electrical and electronic items such as televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, handphones, computers, printers, and batteries are increasingly being disposed as waste after use. These waste are also known as e-waste and they are posing an environmental problem as most of these waste products contain toxic chemicals and can affect the environment and our health if they are incinerated or landfilled.
In addition, there is also the problem of e-waste being dumped in developing countries and recycled in an unhealthy and pollutive manner. Watch this video on the problem of e-waste:
In Singapore, there are no official figures on the amount of e-waste generated and recycled. But Singaporeans are known to be big users of electrical and electronic products, thus we can imagine the substantial problem of e-waste here.
Let's take a closer look at e-waste recycling:
E-Waste Recycling in Singapore
Used electrical and electronic items are sold to the karang guni men, secondhand traders and shops, or traded-in when buying the new items. The used items are refurbished and sold locally or exported overseas for reuse.
The used electrical and electronic items, and electronic scrap from industries are also sent to local e-waste recycling facilities where precious metals such as gold and platinum are extracted, and recovered materials such as plastics are sent to local recycling companies.
Watch this video to learn about extracting gold and other metals from e-waste:
Collectors, Traders and Recycling Companies for E-Waste
To find a recycling collector or someone who wants your e-waste, check out NEA's list of collectors and traders.
What Can I Do
First, reduce your e-waste by asking yourself whether you need to buy new stuff like IT equipment and handphones frequently. Remember to Buy and Use Only What You Need.
If you have some electrical and electronic items that you don't want but are still in good condition, try to Give It Away or Sell for Cash before recycling them.
You can also check out NEA's list of take back programmes for e-waste.

Maryville, Tenn. (WVLT) - Frigid temperatures are causing homeless shelters around East Tennessee to fill up fast.
"We just do the best we can do we try to keep people as warm as we can. Unfortunately we have to turn people away and that's heartbreaking because it's so cold," said Heaven Sent Homes Employee,Rhonda Cooper.
Rhonda Cooper lives at the home with several other women and their children. The shelter in Blount County is set up more like a home, providing a comfy bed and plenty of blankets, helping to shield those inside from below freezing weather.
"During the summer time it's easier for them to make it out on the streets," said Cooper.
But once small shelters like Heaven Sent Homes get full, those in need have to hike up the road.
Just Saturday night the Knoxville Area Rescue Ministry told local 8 news, more than 300 hundred homeless people came through the doors looking for a place to sleep, but just like many other shelters in the area, they too are running out of space.
"We have people that tells us stories that breaks your hearts that they have to be out in the weather the circumstances that they have to be in," said Cooper.
Circumstances she hopes to alleviate.
Temperatures expected to drop in the teens tonight.

5-Armed Brittle Stars Always Face Front [Video]

How would you walk if you had five arms and no brains? If you're a brittle star, the answer turns out to be quite well (for an echinoderm)—although it's a little complicated. The blunt-spined brittle star (Ophiocoma echinata) looks like a claymation creature from an alien horror movie as it moves its disk-like body along [...]Keep reading »
Tiny Hairs Help Octopus Suckers Stick
May 19th, 2014 | 2
Just when you thought octopuses couldn't get any weirder: It turns out that their suckers have an unexpectedly hairy grip. Octopuses can form an impressively tight grip—even on a rough surface. And recent detailed microscopic imaging of their suckers revealed an intricate landscape of fine grooves that make these improbable holds possible. But how do [...]Keep reading »

An octopus might be one of the most intelligent invertebrates, but it doesn't always know what, exactly, its arms are doing. How these animals manage to avoid tangling themselves up is a major feat. But another—of no small concern—is keeping free of the strong grasp of its own suckers. New research, published May 15 in [...]Keep reading »

Google Analytics Privacy
I've recently engaged in a privacy discussion about Google Analytics (GA). Coincidentally it also popped up on TechCruch, after an announcement from Google that they're releasing a GA blocking addon that allows users to opt-out of being tracked.
But the question still stands: Is GA a privacy violation or not?
GA has a sane Privacy Agreement, along with some reasonable Terms of Service. As one could hope, the data you upload to GA is your use of the service, and belongs only to you. But if you believe in Big Brother theories or just like your privacy, the estimate is that more than 50% of the web is using GA, and that Google can track everything about you: clicks, time on page, referrers, sites visited, the works. And if you consider the not-so-nice cookies that google uploads into your browser, which is neither explained nor understandable, some evil thoughts come to mind.
However, for me it is a matter of choice. And when you enter my website, I've made that decision for you. By using GA on my website I was uploading your browsing habits as part of my statistics collection. I did not offer an opt-out/in choice to allow a 3rd party service to be the resting place of the gathered information. Even though the details about statistics gathering and storage concerns mostly me (as the service) and will not be available (in principle) to anyone else, it is my job to tell you if information gets sent to another service and make it your choice to allow that.
Given all of the above, the solution is to keep the gathered information local. I've moved away from Google Analytics to Piwik. Statistics are now only gathered and stored locally, properly anonymized, where the information belongs and is available, with open source technology. Installing Piwik is just a matter of uploading it to a folder on the server, and skimming through the setup (requires a MySQL database). Then it works pretty much like Google Analytics, but without uploading your visitor's information to Google.
Still, there should be a negotiation to which information you want to provide. One thing is to track HTTP requests on the serve, whilst another is providing the user with a javascript file that gathers large amounts of information. Opt-in and negotiate, that's what I say.

Last Minute Easy Pumpkin Spice Cake
Hi everyone! I'm Tiffany from
A Touch of Grace
and I'm so excited to be guest posting here at Chaos with a Curve today (this is my first guest post!).
I'm going to share a quick and easy recipe if you're looking for something different for Thanksgiving dessert.
I know not all people are pie people. If you have one or two of those folks in your family, this simple recipe will be a hit at your dinner table tomorrow evening.
Cake Ingredients:
* Box spice cake mix
* 3 eggs
* 1/2 cup water
* 1 15oz. can pumpkin
* Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
* Grease a 13x9 pan (or 9x9 if you want a thicker cake).
* In a large bowl combine cake mix, water and eggs.
* Add in pumpkin and mix until well combined.
* Spread cake evenly in pan.
* Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
* Let cool.
* 1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
* 1/2 cup butter, softened
* 4 cups powdered sugar
* 1-2 tablespoons milk
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butt with electric mixer.
* Add vanilla and 1 tablespoon milk.
* 1 cup at a time, add in the powdered sugar.
* Continue adding powdered sugar until you get the consistency you want.
* If it gets too thick, add milk 1 teaspoon at a time.
* You'll likely have leftover frosting (I always do) but you can freeze it for up to 2 weeks and use it on other treats!
If you don't have time for the frosting you can always grab a can of cream cheese frosting at the store. That makes it even easier.
The cake is super soft and not too dense, and the frosting is the perfect compliment.
I'd love for you to come visit me over at
A Touch of Grace
. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends tomorrow!

Pumpkin Loaf French Toast
Hi, I am Leah from over at
Leah Inspired
and I am guest posting today at Chaos with a Curve! I am really excited to be a guest today and am sharing a great way to use up some pumpkin that you might have stocked up on.
I am a big pumpkin bread fan and I also love french toast so I figured I would try to combine them and it turned out delicious! Here is the recipe, I hope you enjoy it.
Ingredients for the bread:
1 (15oz) can pumpkin puree
4 eggs
1 cup applesauce
2/3 cup water
1.5 cups sugar
3 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 Tbs milled flax seed
Ingredients for French Toast:
2 Tbs butter
4 eggs beaten
2 Tbs milk to beat into eggs
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions for Bread:
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9X5 bread pan.
In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, applesauce, water, vanilla, and sugar until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, flax seed, and ginger.
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet and pour into pan and fill to the 3/4 level to give room for the bread to rise. If you have extra mix you can make muffins by baking for less time in a muffin pan.
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool before removing from pan.
Instructions for French Toast:
Mix eggs, milk, and cinnamon in a bowl.
Slice bread in thick slices (about 1 in)
Dip bread into egg wash and coat on either side.
Heat griddle or large skillet to medium-high
Melt butter until sizzles
Put the egg washed bread on the griddle.
Flip after about 2 minutes- you want it to be slightly browned and slightly crisp
Add your favorite side and toppings and you have a filling and delicious breakfast!

?/52 Favorite Moment Friday
I have skipped a few weeks since I started working Fridays. The day seems to fly by too fast. I have today off, the first in 2 weeks. The water heater guy was suppose to come today and replace it. He had to reschedule due to flooding in AZ. (People freak out when it rains here.) The A/C guys had to reschedule because the gas is not turned on yet. We did not have gas at our old place and it was suppose to be turned on here yesterday. I was called into work so no one was home.( I want a hot bath & shower soooo baaaaad!!!!) I drove the girls to school this morning so after the reschedules, my Big Boy got into bed with me and went back to sleep.
P.S. Two days ago he told me he's too big to give me kisses & hugs anymore. I was so hurt by his words. His daddy was home from work for 5 days to help move and B4 suddenly turned into a Little Man. So this moment makes it so much sweeter that he's cuddled up to me sleeping.

Thankful Turkey Craft!
Hello everyone! I am Michelle from The MaMade Diaries and I am so honored to be guest posting here on Chaos with a Curve today! I hope that you all enjoy this Thankful Turkey craft.
I love crafting, and I'm passing this along to my son Eli. He gets so excited whenever I say that we are going to make something. We have so much fun creating things together, and nothing beats his excitement when he sees our finished products.
Since Thanksgiving is coming up, I wanted to do a craft that was easy enough for Eli (and other kiddos) to do, but I also wanted it to be something that the whole family could make as well. Which lead to our Thankful Turkeys!
Brown, orange, yellow and red construction paper
Sharpie (or a pen or other marker)
Glue stick or some other type of glue or tape
Googly eyes
Before I started the craft with Eli, I cut the yellow, red and orange paper into a feather shape and made small slits around the edges of the paper to create a "feather" look. I also used scraps to make orange beaks and red wattles. (I had to look up what they were called! It's the red flap of skin that hangs down under their beak).
Eli did not really want to participate in the photo taking process, so I was unable to really get any pictures WHILE we were actually making them. But we had a lot of fun!
The first thing you need to do is trace your hand (or have your child trace their hand) onto the brown construction paper using a pencil. Next you will cut out your hand tracing which will be the body of the turkey.
To assemble your turkey, place glue on each of the 4 fingers and place a different color "feather" on each one. Then you will glue an eye, beak, and wattle to the "thumb" of your hand cut out making the turkey's head.
We used a glue stick, so the glue dried really fast and we did not need to wait that long to write what we were thankful for.
Once your turkey is assembled and the glue is dry, use your sharpie (pen or other marker) and write "I am Thankful for..." on the turkey's body, and use each feather to write one thing you are thankful for. Since Eli can't write, I did this part for him, but the older kiddos would be able to do this on their own.
Eli wanted to make two turkeys, so I actually turned one of them into a hat for him by taping it to strips of construction paper! He was so excited when he saw the hat! And once we were all done I hung both of our Thankful Turkeys on the refrigerator so everyone can see them.
I hope that you enjoyed our Thankful Turkey Craft! Don't forget to stop by my blog

Life Standing Still(s):A Weekly Collection V
1. Mr. Sunshine's (the resident Picasso) artwork which is proudly displayed on his bedroom wall. I'm out of room on the fridge. Magnetic paint anyone?
1. Older house = surprise, sometimes there are no studs where there should be studs! The hubby finally got Mr. Sunshine's coat rack secured into the wall. It's usable for everything he needs and he was very excited. I'm very excited that his coat is not on the floor anymore. The little things people!
3. I have been filling up twice a week because of working full time. This is the cheapest it's been. Thankful.
No, that is not orange colored bird droppings on the top of the car. Cheese crackers. It's been
kind of week. It is very difficult carrying a 35 lb "baby" to the house because he fell asleep in the car while waiting to pick up his brother. He's half the size of me! He also keeled over with a mouthful of said crackers which I set temporarily on top of the car. The wind knocked them over, I was in a rush and missed a few. The rain did the rest. Enter hubby complaint about the "new decoration" for the car.

Hey everyone! I'm Stephanie, from
The TipToe Fairy
. I'm very excited to be blogging over here at Chaos with a Curve. Over at The TipToe Fairy, I write about sewing and crafting, recipes -- especially cupcakes, and book reviews. If you'd like to come check me out, my social links are below:
Today, I've brought you an old family recipe we have at both Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is a staple for our holiday meals. I remember it when I was a child, and my mom remembers it even before I came along. It's always been called Heavenly Hash in our family. It's a delicious fruit salad with marshmallows and whipped cream flavored with a touch of pineapple juice. It really is heavenly. Perfect for a light dessert!

A field guide to iPods

New iPod classic has "badly engineered" audio circuitry?
Continuing our theme today of possible problems with the new iPods, now it's the classic's turn. Personally, I doubt could hear the difference but there seems to be a number of people who think the new 6G iPod classic sounds noticeably worse than the 5.5G iPod that it replaced. In the words of Marc ...

I want to be cremated and have my ashes buried in the soil where a tree is planted. this way I will be "one with the tree" so to speak. not in a reincarnation way, but in a symbolic way where my descendants/family can come to visit me, instead of a cement tomb stone.
if not a tree, something of that nature. know what I mean?
I find it interesting that virtually every person on this thread said they wanted to donate whatever they could. Can you imagine if this was just as common amongst theists? We wouldn't have the horrific organ donor shortages as we do now.
Anyway, at death I would also like to donate whatever organs and body parts are still usable. And while donating the rest to science for med school studies is a good thing, I learned after my mother died that it also means being 'preserved' with all of the chemicals, similar to what is done in preparation for burial.
Likewise, cremation is harder on the environment than one would think.
I am encouraged by the rising popularity of "green" burials, some version of natural decomp, and have expressed a preference for this if available.
More than anything, though, I've told my family I do not want them spending a bunch of money disposing of my remains. Whatever is the least expensive method is fine by me.

With only days to go before the election in Afghanistan, it looks like the fix is in. That's what most Afghans have been saying all along. The danger now is not that the election might be tainted by backroom deals or fraud. That's old news. Even international bodies charged with facilitating the process have given up the goal of "free and fair" elections. They aim instead for "credible" elections–which means results that look pretty good, even when they're not. No, the real danger is that those international bodies, led by the United States, will validate the crooked election as "credible" even when it doesn't look good at all. Yet the hopes of the US-led international community ride on a credible outcome to provide evidence of Afghanistan's conversion to "democracy." Not to mention their vested interests–including an estimated $500 million to stage this extravaganza. If they were going to fess up to fraud, they should have done so long ago. –"Ballots and Bullets for Afghanistan," Ann Jones, The Nation

A new study has found that downloading music is substantially better from an emissions perspective than buying compact discs. The study, which was financed by both Microsoft and Intel and written by two academics at Carnegie Mellon University and a third affiliated with Stanford University, found that buying an album digitally reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 40 to 80 percent relative to a best-case scenario for purchasing a CD…. Even in a situation in which a consumer downloads the music — and then burns it onto a CD and puts it in a CD case— the carbon differential is 40 percent in favor of the download, the study found. If the downloaded music is not burned onto a CD, the differential rises to 80 percent. –"The Carbon Case for Downloading Music," Kate Galbraith, The New York Times

Cheer leading can be considered a sport since there are competitions for it...Not like there are competitions for sex. And no I'm not a cheer leader, but I love watching them sexy girls.
#292 to #286 - Flarius (11/24/2012) [-]
Well I was mostly comparing it to sex in that aspect. But a sport is something that requires some type of skill or physical prowess, and be competitive. Cheer leading has all these. Yes my logic was flawed for some things like beards, I won't deny that.

Kempo brings the Far East to the east side
By Steve Furay
Special to the Michigan Citizen
At the back corner of Iron Street and East Jefferson Avenue is the 36th Chamber University of Martial Arts, where trainer Aaron Green gives students rare lessons in the art of kempo, a ferocious fighting style that came from the Islands of the Pacific.
Kempo only gained a foothold in the United States over the past several decades. Schools of the martial arts like 36th Chamber University of Martial Arts are evidence of an era of when the East came to the West.
36th Chamber University of Martial Arts' instructors only take on a modest number of new students interested in learning kempo. The style requires discipline and endurance, as those in practice will be worked through progressively more difficult routines to earn their degree belts.
Few teachers of the style are actively teaching in Metro Detroit, and though the school has relaxed its execution of discipline in recent years, the required training will test a student's limits.
"You tell yourself I can, because there's no such thing as I can't." says Green of the intensity necessary to train in kempo. "There's so many countries that even when you translate their words, they don't have the word 'try', and most of the don't have the word 'can not'. It's not in their vocabulary."
Detroit was a world cultural center after the 1940s, a time when the world began connecting like never before. By the 1970s, many of the ancient arts of the Far East were brought to popular culture in the city, including martial arts movies, yoga and tai chi instruction, and the ancient philosophical and spiritual texts of Buddhism and Confucianism.
During this time of learning Far East traditions, Green began to train.
"I've been training since I was eleven, so 38 years," he says. "I started off in tae kwon do; my parents put me in because it was popular at that time. During the 1970s, of course — it was the Bruce Lee era — martial arts were at every corner like the liquor stores now.
"When my parents put me in, it was because I was bullied a lot in school," he says. "Even my first two years, I was still getting bullied because I didn't believe this stuff really worked on the streets. I'm winning in tournaments, first and second place trophies, I'm doing katas and forms, but I didn't really believe it could carry on to the next level."
It wasn't until high school Green realized his ability. Working over a 12-year period he gained a second degree black belt in tae kwon do. By age 21, he had been out of training for a year when he met his kempo instructor, Preston Hosely. He was invited repeatedly to train, but hesitated to do so.
"So finally, after almost a year I go down," he says, "There were about five or six students on the floor. And they're working and training, and when he finished sparring with his students he turns to me and says, 'I ain't forget about you, come on get on the floor.' I was like 'Oh god, this man's gonna kill me, he's gonna destroy me in front of his students.'"
The two met on the mat, bowing to each other, and one of the students said "fight!"
"And I just did a roundhouse kick to his head," he says. "I mean I kicked him, 'blaow!' and I said 'he's really gonna kill me now.'
"He said, 'good one, all right, come on.'"
This lesson stuck with him Be patient with students and know it is their duty to challenge the instructor. This is an example of the philosophy and the physicality of kempo in practice.
"I was impressed because he never went on ego. Because of the fact he knew what he had. So once I got (kempo) in my blood, no other art existed."
Green's responsibility to the head instructor of the 36th Chamber University of Martial Arts, Duwat Muhammad, is to ensure the knowledge of the art does not deviate from any of the original forms. The elder master must be certain his apprentice can maintain the roots of the practice, which date back to India in the 5th Century BC.
"Find peace; find calm. When you can do that, when there is a little turmoil going on, you're able to stay calm because you've already been through those kind of conditions."
Green explains that martial arts training is great for developing focus with children, who often struggle with this because of their interactions with technology. He teaches a martial arts curriculum at Murphy Middle School on Detroit's west side.
Kempo is a martial art designed for defense, like keeping bullies in line, but those in practice will develop confidence in themselves and find the best defense is more about not fighting than it is about fighting.
"For me, I believe it's more of the aura, more of the energy," says Green. "Because I'm not going out there with this arrogant attitude, I'm humble. Everybody doesn't understand that energy, that projection."
36th Chamber University Of Martial Arts is located at 227 Iron Street, Suite 122, Detroit. For more information, call 313.544.6221.

We looked at the top 20 shooting guards for 2011 on Monday. Today? The 20 best fantasy swingmen ("fantasy swingmen" sounds naughty) from the year (or four months, as the case may be) that was. You know the deal, here's my preseason Top 20 Small Forwards for 2011.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Danny Granger
Ali vs. Frazier. Balboa vs. Creed…. hmm, wait let me try again. Tyson vs. McNeeley… nah still not right… Ron Palillo vs. Dustin Diamond (there we go!). An epic pillow fight last night went down between the Wizards and the Bobcats.Please, blog, may I have some more?
The big man came through with 28/9/4, a steal and 2 threes. Although, I guess 99% of NBA players are big men, so it's a good thing I didn't make you guess who had that line. It was Rudy Gay all the way!Please, blog, may I have some more?
Anthony Tolliver, Derrick Williams, Wayne Ellington are your adds (in order) for every day Michael Beasley is out and maybe even some of the days he's in. Because even when he's in, he's kind of out. I don't like recommending these three guys, but the playoffs are upon us and people have holes to fill.Please, blog, may I have some more?
There were a few notable headlines out of Dallas, the first of which that Kennedy was assassinated. Jumping ahead a few decades to Tuesday night, the Nets somehow managed to outplay the Mavericks, led by Brook Lopez's 38 points and 6 rebounds (in 36 minutes).Please, blog, may I have some more?
Many tears were shed on Valentine's Day, and not because lonely people were curled up on the couch with a pint of Ben & Jerry's, a bottle of Pinot Noir and Blue Valentine on Netflix. Danny Granger left the game in the first quarter with a spained left ankle and did not return.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Upon occasion – especially while watching the Wizards – I think to myself, "Self? You could do better than these guys, right? Sure, you're not as tall as most of these guys and you have trouble going to your left, you tend to get wheezy after just a couple laps up the court, your sweat makes people not want to talk to you, you choke on the gum you're chewing 3/4 of the possessions, and your on-court communication consists mostly of reciting lines from 'White Men Can't Jump,' but still, the Wizards are awful." Now I know you think it's weird that I address myself as Self, but if I didn't do that how would I know who I'm talking to?Please, blog, may I have some more?
James Johnson scored only 5 pts, but grabbed 5 boards, blocked five shot, made 2-of-3 from the floor and sank a three. This is why he's valuable. Skip the scoring. It's not there. Won't happen. Ignore it. Grab him anyway. Of all the secondary players that are still mostly available in fantasy leagues (>25 percent owned), Johnson is the player that really shouldn't be unowned the most.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Trailing hot on the heels of yesterday's Manu news (Manunus!) that he will be watching basketball from incredibly fantastic courtside seats for the next two months while wearing a $5,000 suit like the rest of us insanely wealthy society folk, comes the follow-up jab-cross-jab-hammer combo that Memphis forward Zach Randolph is also out a couple months with a slight tear in his knee.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Manu Ginobili broke his shooting hand and may be out as many as six weeks. Groin punch! If you drafted him, his penchant for injury is why you hesitated before doing so. And don't act like you didn't hesitate. You were well warned.Please, blog, may I have some more?

The air was so crisp and cold, it almost took my breath away, and I was sure that the Valparaiso University chapel wouldn't be as full on Christmas Eve as it usually was for Immanuel Lutheran Church's beautiful service — a service filled with the love of God for all people with the reminder of the birth of a baby.
I was so wrong! The chapel was packed, and listening to and singing out so many Christmas songs is a special blessing to me.
Even those of you who might not think the message is "real," I would think, have to enjoy the beauty of the music, which is also a gift.
Our little great-grandchildren — themselves a gift — were so excited as their Daddy kept checking on his iPad to see how close Santa Claus was to the United States, and especially to Indiana. Children certainly add to the joy of any holiday.
So I hope your Christmas was filled with joy, and that you felt the love of family, friends, or even strangers.
I actually wouldn't mind if it would get a little warmer, though.
Now that the holiday's are nearing completion, please don't stop filling a bag now and then for the food pantry because hunger for families in need isn't just going to disappear.
And our daughter, Carol, told me that I should ask you to please throw in a bag of dog or cat food once in a while because kids with pets, who are already having it tough because of the unexpected need of being needy, often have no way to keep them because there's not enough money to feed their best friend.
But if the food pantry has some pet food to offer, you have helped a child find reason to smile. I honestly never gave that a thought before, but it sure makes sense. Sometimes that animal may be the only happiness for a child or family going through tough times.
In fact, Hebron Middle School students (who always are doing kind projects) brought in food for pets, and Carol delivered a car load to the food pantry, and said that people on line were thanking them and even sending blessings their way for thinking of their beloved pets.
Speaking of Hebron Middle School students, they seem to have an ongoing project all year, and at this time are raising dollars to give to the animal shelter, as well as the food pantry.
The neat part of all their caring is that it is all student driven, so I think of it as "Kids Kindness by Super Students."
If any of you parents or teachers do similar things at your children's school, I'd love to hear from you, as the 98 percent of "good students" aren't usually the ones we read about. Just email me c/o firstname.lastname@example.com.
I think my New Year's resolution will be to look at bills that must be paid with a little less grousing, and be thankful that we live where we can stay warm on frigid days.
Maybe it's one I'll really keep for a change. As you put away your decorations for another year, I hope you have a great day because you deserve it.
Thanks for reading. Fly your flag.

Hitachi to release Blu-ray based camcorders for some reason
Smart camcorder shoppers know the new big thing is HDD camcorders, specifically of the HD variety, that ditch physical media and allow you to record right to a built-in hard drive in the camera. Physical media is dead, dudes. Why fight it?
Well, Hitachi is going to fight it long and hard. They're releasing a couple of Blu-ray based camcorders. To be fair, the higher-end model also has a HDD, allowing you to burn video to 8cm BR discs when the drive is full, but the lower-end model leaves you with only a Blu-ray drive. Call me crazy, but recording video right to Blu-ray seems to add in a lot of hassle and not a lot of convenience to the video recording process, seeing that you'll probably want to edit what you shoot before burning it to any type of physical media. But hey, it's possible, so they're gonna put it into a product.

Kenny Chesney
[lastfm]Kenny Chesney[/lastfm] was born March 26, 1968, in Knoxville, Tenn., and raised in nearby Luttrell. He attended college at East Tennessee State in Johnson City and became a fixture in the area's venues, including Chuckie's Trading Post and Quarterback's Barbecue. "The scene up there then was mostly blues, rock and folk," he recalls. "I was about the only one doing George Jones and Hank Jr. I got to where I had a pretty good following."
An awakening of sorts came when he went into the Classic Recording Studio in Bristol, Va. Backed by several musicians he knew from college (who later became the core of Alison Krauss' band), he recorded an album's worth of songs he'd written. When he pressed up a thousand copies, sold them all at his shows and made enough to buy a new Martin guitar, he realized he was onto something. A month after graduating from college with a degree in advertising, he headed down I-40 west to Nashville in early 1991.
The going was slow the first couple of years. He made the rounds of the publishing companies without much success. He went to see the only person he knew in the business, producer Kyle Lehning, who told him, "You've definitely got something, but it ain't there yet." The only steady gig he could find playing music was in a down and dirty honky-tonk called the Turf. This was on Nashville's storied Lower Broadway before the area was gentrified. In 1992, the head of publisher/writer relations at BMI set up an audition with Opryland Music Group. Chesney came out of the audition with a songwriter's contract.
A year or so later, an appearance at a songwriter's showcase led to a contract with Capricorn Records, which had recently started a country division. He'd had only a couple of modest chart singles when the label closed its Nashville office. But one of his 1994 singles, a song he wrote called "The Tin Man," stirred considerable interest up and down the Row, despite making it only to No. 70 on Billboard's country singles chart.
RCA's Joe Galante put in a call and not only offered Chesney a contract but also to buy the masters of his Capricorn album. Galante signed Chesney to RCA's affiliated label, BNA Records. His Capricorn album sold only about 100,000 units, but All I Need to Know (1995), his debut BNA disc, more than tripled that figure. Me and You (1996) was certified gold, I Will Stand (1997) was certified platinum and Everywhere We Go (1999) was certified double platinum.
Chesney also made headlines in 2000, when he hopped on a police officer's horse at a fair in New York state. Chesney said he had permission, but when the officer tried to pull him off, touring pal Tim McGraw blocked the policeman's efforts. Both men were acquitted for their alleged crimes — Chesney for disorderly conduct, McGraw for obstructing governmental administration and resisting arrest. The publicity was priceless, as Chesney found himself with his highest media exposure to date.
His Greatest Hits (2001) reminded listeners of Chesney's consistent track record at country radio, selling more than 3 million copies. No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems (2002) catapulted him into the big leagues and played up his fascination with the islands. "The Good Stuff" and "Young" were massive country hits, and he continues to sell out arenas across the country. Along with a hugely successful tour in 2003, Chesney headlined a concert at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, filmed a behind-the-scenes DVD, and released the holiday album All I Want For Christmas Is A Real Good Tan.
At the end of 2003, he rested atop the Billboard country singles chart with the hit "There Goes My Life," months before his latest studio album was released. In 2004, that album When the Sun Goes Down won a CMA Award, and Chesney captured the CMA entertainer of the year trophy. He offered Be As You Are: Songs From An Old Blue Chair, an introspective singer-songwriter album inspired by his love for the islands, in early 2005.
Chesney found himself the subject of much tabloid fodder in 2005 with his surprise marriage to actress Renée Zellweger; she annulled the marriage later that year. Chesney released the album The Road and the Radio in November 2005, with the hits "Who You'd Be Today," "Beer in Mexico" and "You Save Me." He released Live: Live Those Songs Again in 2006 and celebrated career sales of 25 million albums. Chesney also capped the year by winning his second CMA entertainer trophy.

Don't take more water with it.
Junkfood Science: Wellness water — the 8x8 myth
People carry bottles of water everywhere, sipping from them continually. We've become obsessed with our pee. More incredibly, so have our employers....companies offer water points, send emails to coax workers to drink water, distribute water bottles, and post pee charts in the bathrooms to check the color of workers' urine. Yes, pee charts. Bosses actually think it's their business what you do in the privacy of the bathroom. Don't laugh,
Companies have made workers' bathroom business their business. Drinking 8 (8 ounce) glasses of water — known as 8x8 — has become a key part of preventive health and workplace wellness programs. Like many other aspects of these wellness programs, their claims to prevent chronic diseases and promote optimum wellness have little credible scientific support.
But how many people know that the roots of this adage aren't in science, but vitalism and nostrum remediums? How many know that after centuries, there's still no medical evidence for the belief that normal, healthy people all need to be concerned about drinking more water?
As ever Sandy does a sterling job demolishing the myths - read the rest so you can giggle at those poor saps who can't walk 200 yards up the street without rehydration, I actually think the constant sucking at "sports" bottle is a dummy (or pacifier) substitute as they have failed to grow up.
(As a note as we don't talk about 8oz glasses over here I had never heard of the 8x8 campaign, I suppose we are lucky it hasn't gone metric and called the 275x275 rule, encouraging us to drink 275 275millilubes (or whatever the metric for 8oz is) a day.
