During 1996 religious groups were pitted against governments on issues ranging from freedom of belief and practice to public policy matters such as abortion. In some cases faith groups found themselves in disagreement with one another on such subjects as evangelism and the significance of the Holocaust. Christians found themselves debating some core beliefs, including the identity of Jesus and the existence of hell. (For figures on adherents of all religions by continent and on adherents in the U.S., see below.)
Leaders of more than 40 Christian organizations met in Washington, D.C., in January to draw attention to the plight of persecuted Christians and to urge the U.S. Congress to take up their cause. They reported that in places such as China, Vietnam, Cuba, the Middle East, and northern Africa, Christians faced arrest, torture, imprisonment, and extrajudicial executions for practicing their faith. The House of Representatives and Senate adopted resolutions deploring such persecution in September, with the Senate calling for "a thorough examination of all United States policies that affect persecuted Christians" and for the appointment of a special presidential adviser on religious persecution.
Two of the high-profile cases that involved persecution of Christians during the year were the abduction and murder of seven Trappist monks in Algeria by terrorists who called themselves the Armed Islamic Group and the conviction of Robert Hussein Qambar, a Muslim convert to Christianity, on a charge of apostasy by an Islamic court in Kuwait in May. Hussein left the country in August rather than face an appeals hearing in September.
France in 1996 had 172 groups classified as religious sects, according to a report released by the nation's Parliament in June. The government subsequently organized a watchdog group to recommend police investigations of the sects whenever it found them warranted. The parliaments of Belgium and Switzerland launched similar investigations. In Germany the ruling Christian Democratic Union (CDU) called for a ban on members of the Church of Scientology working in government jobs and asked for a government investigation of the group in October. Such a ban had already been initiated by the state of Bavaria. The youth branch of the CDU urged a boycott of the film Mission: Impossible because its star and director, Tom Cruise, was a Scientologist. While German officials called the church a threat to democracy, leaders of the church said Germany was using fascist tactics against it.
Roman Catholic Archbishop Norberto Rivera Carrera drew fire from Mexican officials in October when he said that if the government "openly denies fundamental human rights, then one has to deny it obedience." It was unclear to what he was referring, but Armando López Campa, director of religious affairs at the Interior Secretariat, said the remarks may have violated a legal ban on using pulpits to preach against the laws of the country.
On the first day of the year, the Israeli Supreme Court disbanded government religious councils in Jerusalem and the town of Kiryat Tivon because they excluded Reform and Conservative Jews; the court also ordered a Conservative and a Reform representative appointed to the religious council in Haifa. In July a Reform leader accused Sephardic Chief Rabbi Eliahu Bakshi-Doron of sanctioning the murder of Reform Jews; in a radio broadcast the rabbi said the biblical figure Phinehas had committed a "pure act" when he killed another Jew for having an intimate relationship with a Gentile woman. During the broadcast the rabbi described the victim as "the first Reform Jew."
In Sweden the government took the first steps to distance itself from the state Lutheran church by revoking the law requiring that children born to at least one Lutheran parent automatically become members of the church. After 2000 the church rather than the state would appoint its own bishops.
During Russia's presidential campaign all the major candidates, including Communist Gennady Zyuganov, actively sought support from the Orthodox Church. Zyuganov visited monasteries and dropped atheism from his party's platform. Ultranationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky declared himself a believer and renewed his marriage vows in a widely publicized church ceremony. Pres. Boris Yeltsin appeared as often as possible in public with Patriarch Aleksey II, who all but officially endorsed his reelection. Although only about 10% of Russians attended services regularly, opinion polls found that they rated the Orthodox Church as the institution they most respected.
In the United States, Pres. Bill Clinton was denounced by leaders of several religious groups for his veto of a bill banning a late-term abortion procedure. Top leaders of the U.S. Roman Catholic Church said the veto was "beyond comprehension for those who hold human life sacred," and leaders of Clinton's own denomination, the Southern Baptist Convention, urged him to repent and "express publicly your personal regret" for the veto. On the other side, 36 religious leaders in the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice said they supported the president's action. Where religious people had differences on such matters, they said, "the government must not legislate, and thus impose, one religious view on all our citizens."
The Southern Baptist Convention unleashed a firestorm by adopting a resolution at its annual meeting in June in New Orleans calling for increased efforts to bear witness to Jewish people and appointing a new home missionary seeking to evangelize Jews in the U.S. The action was widely denounced as insensitive by mainstream Jewish organizations.
Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel in July described the presence of crosses at the site of the Nazi Birkenau concentration camp in Poland as an "insult" and a "blasphemy" and urged their removal, thereby drawing criticism from Poland's Roman Catholic bishops. The Polish church's Commission for Dialogue with Judaism said the cross was regarded by Jews as a "sign of fear and hatred," while Poles considered it a symbol of "liberation from occupying powers."
The National Institute for Healthcare Research and the John Templeton Foundation of Philadelphia awarded grants to 11 medical schools to help teach future physicians to consider the spiritual as well as physical condition of patients. And the National Institutes of Health financed a $28,797 study at the University of New Mexico on the effect of prayer on alcoholics and drug abusers. In a book titled Timeless Healing: The Power and Biology of Belief, Herbert Benson, president of the Mind/Body Medical Institute of Boston's Deaconess Hospital, wrote that "our genetic blueprint has made believing in an Infinite Absolute part of our nature."
Other research focused on the success of church attendance and religious-based programs on preventing or reducing crime and substance abuse. A study by Harvard University economist Richard Freeman found regular church attendance to be a better predictor than family structure or income of the likelihood that urban youth would turn to drugs or crime, and another survey found more than 30 studies that showed a correlation between religious participation and avoidance of such behaviour. Such studies bolstered a provision of the new law overhauling the U.S. welfare system that enabled the federal government for the first time to be able to give money to churches and other religious groups in order to provide services to the poor.
On the other side of the coin, a federal judge in St. Paul, Minn., struck down Medicare and Medicaid payments to Christian Science healers on the ground that they violated the constitutional separation of church and state. Earlier the U.S. Supreme Court had upheld a $1.5 million award against four Christian Scientists in the case of an 11-year-old Minnesota boy who had died in 1989 after being treated with prayer rather than medical care.
The Religious Freedom Restoration Act, passed in 1993 to tighten conditions under which government in the U.S. could restrict religious practice, was interpreted in different ways during 1996. In May an appeals court in St. Louis, Mo., said it enabled a church in New Hope, Minn., to keep money tithed by a couple in the year before they filed for bankruptcy. But in a June ruling involving a dispute over whether a church in Cumberland, Md., could raze property that the city wanted preserved, a Baltimore judge said the law was unconstitutional because it "usurped the Supreme Court's authority to determine the scope and meaning of the First Amendment." In October the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review the law in a case that involved its use by the archdiocese of San Antonio, Texas, against an ordinance in Boerne, Texas, that prevented a church in the city's historic district from building an addition. Congress passed a law in 1996 establishing a $10 million fund to provide loans and grants to rebuild churches that were destroyed by arson; a number of African-American churches in the southern U.S. were destroyed by fire during the year.
In their issues dated April 8, the day after Easter, the three major U.S. weekly newsmagazines all featured cover stories on new scholarly theories about the historical Jesus, many of which cast doubt on the literal nature of his resurrection. Many reflected the work of the controversial Jesus Seminar, which itself was criticized by former Roman Catholic priest Luke Timothy Johnson in a volume titled The Real Jesus: The Misguided Quest for the Historical Jesus and the Truth of the Traditional Gospels. A survey conducted in March by the Barna Research Group found that 30% of "born-again" Christians did not believe that Jesus "came back to physical life after he was crucified."
Traditional concepts of the nature of hell were debated in January when the doctrine commission of the Church of England issued a report suggesting that it might more accurately be thought of as annihilation for nonbelievers rather than as a place of eternal torment. The Barna survey found that 31% of Americans saw hell as a place of physical torment while 37% said it represented a "state of permanent separation from the presence of God."
Ordination of homosexuals to the ministry and gay marriages drew varying responses from religious groups in 1996. The United Methodist Church voted at its quadrennial General Conference in Denver, Colo., in April to retain its position that the practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching despite a petition from 15 bishops urging the church to ordain homosexuals. In a May ruling in Wilmington, Del., an Episcopal Church court dismissed heresy charges against retired bishop Walter Righter for having ordained a gay man as a deacon, ruling that a 1979 resolution by bishops against ordaining practicing homosexuals does not have the force of canon law. The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), meeting in Albuquerque, N.M., in July, sent to presbyteries for a vote a measure that would require fidelity in marriage and chastity while single for all church officers and thus bar practicing homosexuals from ordination. Earlier, the Judicial Commission of the denomination's Cincinnati (Ohio) Presbytery had nullified the ordination of an allegedly gay man. In November a church in Toledo, Ohio, that belonged to the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches ordained a lesbian.
In March the Central Conference of American Rabbis, a Reform Jewish group, endorsed same-sex marriage as a civil right but stopped short of recommending that rabbis perform such ceremonies. In June the Unitarian-Universalist Association endorsed the legalization of such unions and voted to "proclaim the worth of marriage between any two committed persons."
Architect Philip Johnson celebrated his 90th birthday July 8 by unveiling a model for a $20 million cathedral in Dallas, Texas, for the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches, a 3,000-member congregation composed primarily of homosexuals. He described the structure, which would be taller than Notre Dame Cathedral, as "the most important job of my life."
While some Christians debated doctrinal points, a major rift in the ranks of Orthodox Christianity threatened to explode over the affiliation of the Estonian Orthodox Church. The church was forced under the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church by the Soviet Union in 1945. When Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I approved its return to the jurisdiction of the patriarchate in Constantinople in February, Russian Orthodox Patriarch Aleksey II refused to recognize the change. The dispute was settled in May when Moscow and Constantinople agreed to allow parishes and priests in the Estonian church to decide their individual affiliations. (See Orthodox Church: Sidebar, below.) Meanwhile, Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant groups agreed to form a Christian Interconfessional Consultative Committee to promote cooperation and mutual understanding in the Commonwealth of Independent States and the Baltic countries.
A survey reported that church attendance in the U.S. was at the lowest level in two decades, with attendance dropping especially among seniors and baby boomers. Noting that these trends went against traditional patterns for people in their mid-40s to mid-60s, pollster George Barna cited the failure of churches to be relevant and turbulence within families as factors.
The $1 million Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion was awarded to Bill Bright, a Presbyterian layman who founded the Campus Crusade for Christ in 1951. The evangelical ministry, represented in 165 countries, was best known for its pamphlet The Four Spiritual Laws and a film on the life of Jesus that had been translated into more than 350 languages and shown in more than 200 countries. The 74-year-old Bright said he would use the money to establish a program to educate church leaders worldwide on fasting and prayer.
Anglican Communion
A church court dismissed heresy charges in May against the retired Episcopal bishop of Iowa, Walter C. Righter. In early 1995 Righter had been charged by 10 bishops under church canons for "teaching publicly and advisedly that a practicing homosexual may properly be ordained" and for violating his ordination vows. The court, however, held that neither the doctrine nor discipline of the Episcopal Church prohibited the ordination of a noncelibate homosexual person. The bishops who filed the charges said at a May news conference that they would not appeal the ruling. They did, however, plan to present a canonical change at the next general convention that would obligate all members of the clergy to "abstain from sexual relations outside Holy Matrimony."
Ellen F. Cooke, the former national church treasurer who admitted to embezzling $2.2 million in church funds, was sentenced to a five-year prison term by a U.S. District Court judge in Newark, N.J., in July. She began her sentence at a federal prison in Alderson, W.V., on August 26.
Bishop Winston Ndungane was installed in September as the successor to Desmond Tutu as archbishop of Cape Town, the highest office of the Anglican Church in southern Africa. Formerly bishop of Kimberley and Kuruman in the Northern Cape, Bishop Ndungane served a three-year prison term from 1963 to 1966 for his anti-apartheid activities as a student. In the Philippines, Bishop Idnacio Capuyan Soliba of the diocese of Northern Luzon was chosen the prime bishop of the Episcopal Church in the Philippines at the church's June synod.
In late 1995 the Church in the Province of the West Indies became the 15th Anglican province to vote in favour of ordaining women to the priesthood. Others included the Anglican churches in Australia, Brazil, Burundi, Canada, England, Hong Kong and Macao, Ireland, Kenya, New Zealand, the Philippines, southern Africa, Uganda, the United States, and West Africa. Meanwhile, the General Synod of Japan's Anglican church, Nippon Sei Ko Kai, rejected a proposal to ordain women priests after the bishops voted against it. Clergy and lay delegates at the synod had voted by a two-thirds majority in favour of ordination.
The assistant bishop of the Kirinyaga diocese in Kenya, Andrew Adano Tuye, was killed on July 27. Bishop Tuye died with senior government officials when the police helicopter they were traveling in crashed just outside Marsabit.
In February the Rev. Barbara Brown Taylor, rector of Grace-Calvary Church in Clarkesville, Ga., was named one of the 12 most effective preachers in the English-speaking world. The selections were made by researchers at Baylor University, Waco, Texas, in a poll of 1,500 other preachers and seminary professors. Taylor was the only woman and only Episcopalian on the list.

Baptist Churches
During 1996 some prominent African-American church leaders in the United States joined with secular business interests to boost black spending power. Among those denominations urging their parishioners to buy the products of the Revelation Corp. of America were the National Baptist Convention, U.S.A., Inc. (7.5 million members), National Baptist Convention of America, Inc. (3 million), and the Progressive National Baptist Convention, Inc. (2.7 million). According to the plan, if substantial numbers of parishioners cooperated, a portion of the corporation's profits would be funneled to local churches. The Revelation Corp. of America was a for-profit merchandising creation of John Lowery, a Memphis, Tenn., developer.
The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S., with 15,614,060 members, passed resolutions in its June meeting to boycott Disney enterprises because the Walt Disney Co. was providing health care benefits to companions of gay employees. The SBC also objected to Disney's "hosting of homosexual theme nights at its parks."
At the same meeting, the SBC resolved to evangelize the Jews. The resolution criticized "an organized effort on the part of some either to deny that Jewish people need to come to their Messiah, Jesus, to be saved; or to claim, for whatever reason, that Christians have neither right nor obligation to proclaim the gospel to the Jewish people."
The president of the National Baptist Convention of America, Inc., the second largest African-American Baptist denomination, rejected the SBC's recent apology for racism. Pres. E. Edward Jones told the 4,000 delegates at the denomination's annual meeting in Dallas, Texas, "The civil rights struggle is still going on and we need more than an apology."
American Baptist Churches USA issued a call to prayer and concern for the churches being burned in the southern U.S. Grants and building loans were offered by the American Baptist Office of World Relief and the National Ministries' Office of National Disaster Response.
At a recent gathering in Toulouse, France, the Baptist World Alliance was told that the organization was developing strategies to increase its membership significantly in predominantly Roman Catholic countries in Europe. Some 186 Baptist bodies worldwide were related to the Baptist World Alliance. Nilson Fanini, president of the Alliance, said, "Given our doctrinal differences, there will always be a need for Baptists to plant churches, even where there are many Catholic congregations." But Fanini cautioned that Baptists needed to exercise "courtesy and fellowship with those who have ploughed the ground before us and who believe in many Christian doctrines precious to Baptists."

The novel characteristic of swing phase damping with especially easy initiation of the swing-through phase and a harmonic extension stop has a positive effect on a natural gait pattern.
You can see the changes in the new generation of the Modular Knee Joint 3R106 just by looking at it. However, the changes go beneath this knee's surface. A new pneumatic system makes this prosthesic knee joint more powerful and controls the swing phase even more precisely and reliably. We also optimized the wear-resistance, convenience, adaptation possibilities, and weight limit. On the other hand, proven safety and the large degree of flexion remained unchanged.
The high-performance dual chamber pneumatic unit is a decisive factor. Although the structural height remains the same, it permits a large range of walking speeds. The novel characteristic of swing phase damping with especially easy initiation of the swing phase and a harmonious extension stop has a positive effect on a natural gait pattern. At the same time, the energy expenditure of the wearer is reduced. You can adjust the flexion and extension damping separately. The scope of delivery includes an additional extension assist spring which you can easily install in order to reduce the amount of extension force required.
In the extended position, the instantaneous pivot point is located well above the joint and behind the load line. Therefore the modern polycentric structure secures the knee joint securely in the standing phase and ensures greater ground clearance in the swing phase. This increases the wearer's overall trust in the entire prosthesis. The wide flexion angle of 170° and the light weight of 760 grams also reduces the strain on the user, for example when biking, getting into the car, sitting, or kneeling.
The four modular installation options – identical to the new 3R60 EBS Knee Joint – allow for easy fitting of all amputation heights. The latest development of the 3R106 is also suitable for your customers who weigh up to 100 kilograms. The required tube adapter is included with the knee.

The Department of Education Office for Civil Rights defines "sexual violence" as "physical sexual acts perpetrated against a person's will or where a person is incapable of giving consent." Sexual violence includes rape, sexual assault or battery, sexual abuse and sexual coercion. While the use of force is sometimes present in an act of sexual violence, it need not be. Any form of sexual conduct without consent, with a minor (who by law cannot give consent) or with a person who is temporarily incapacitated from giving knowing consent (e.g., because of the influence of drugs or alcohol, sleep, illness, or any other reason) also constitutes sexual violence. All forms of sexual violence, as well as other forms of sexual harassment, are prohibited by the Policy Against Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Relationship Violence, and Retaliation.
"Consent" to sexual activity requires voluntary, positive agreement between the participants to engage in specific sexual activity. Consent is active, not passive. Signals of consent must be part of a mutual and ongoing process, offered freely and knowingly.
It is the responsibility of the person who initiates the sexual activity to make sure that he/she has the other person's consent.
It is important to remember:
Communicating consent:
Alcohol and drugs:
If you have experienced sexual violence, your first step is to get to safety and seek medical assistance if needed. Then reach out to individuals and resources at North Park who can help you through the process of reporting the violence and seeking support.

Graveside service for teen killed in wreck
A graveside service will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday for Brehannah Swink, 15, who died as the result of a single vehicle accident on Saturday.
The service will be held at Eternal Memorial Park off Oakland Road in Spindale with Rev. Robert Carnell and Rev. Jerry Ruppe officiating.
Brehannah was a rising sophomore at R-S Central High School. She was a member of the Hilltoppers Step-Up Club and attended Floyd's Creek Baptist Church. Her parents were Chad and Brianne Swink. She also has two brothers, Hunter Swink and wife, Susie and Gage Conner and two sisters, Kayleigh Conner and Katie Suhy.
At the crash scene on Monday, there were flowers, balloons and crosses marking the spot where the truck hit two trees. Written on the crosses was the name, "Piglet" which was her nickname.
Swink was a passenger in a 1986 Toyota pick-up truck Saturday that was driven by a friend, Brandon W. Eads, 16, of Spindale.
The accident occurred at 1:15 p.m. on Big Island Road about three miles from the Harris community.
According to the North Carolina Highway Patrol (NCHP), Eads was traveling at a rate too fast for conditions when he traveled off the right shoulder of the road, went down an embankment and struck two trees.
Swink was pronounced dead at the scene.
Eads was transported to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center with non life-threatening injuries and was later released from the hospital's emergency room.
First Sgt. Chris McClelland said Monday that Eads was not driving at an excessive speed, but driving too fast for conditions with his inexperienced driving and negotiating the curve were factors.
Swink is the eighth person to die on a Rutherford County road in 2014 and the third teenager to die on a highway in Rutherford County since June 17.
There have been no charges filed in the incident and it is still under investigation.
Memorial donations are suggested to Harrelson Funeral Home, 1251 U.S. Hwy. 221A, Forest City, NC 28043.

Thai bourse announces new listing rules for renewable energy power plants
Thai bourse announces new listing rules for renewable energy power plants
BANGKOK, March 22, 2012 – The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) supports renewable energy power plants seeking to list on its Market for Alternative Investment (mai) by issuing new listing rules effective from March 26, 2012.
"The new rule supports fundraising of renewable energy business, which is useful to our economy and environment, and builds national energy security. The listing enables renewable energy firms to improve their projects with fewer funding limitations, and also supports Thailand's power development plan (2010-2030) of the Ministry of Energy. Under the plan, power production from renewable energy must reach at least five percent of total power production in 2030," mai President Chanitr Charnchainarong said.
While considering the new rules, mai held hearings with many stakeholder groups to suit the needs of business owners and business conditions, he added.
Power plants meeting the new requirements are those using any kinds of renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, water, biological, and biomass energy, with a market capitalization of over THB 500 million (approx. USD 16.2 million). They must also have power purchase agreement (PPA) signed with the government in order to generating secure revenues with commercial operation date for at least one year. SET also set the silent period for the applicants at two years. Also, the applicants interested in listing on mai must give clear and adequate information about risks of power sale contracts, government subsidies, material procurement, material costs, and technology to investors.

The present invention relates generally to an interactive education system. In particular, the present invention relates to an interactive education system which may include a library of multimedia and interactive programming materials randomly accessed by multiple sites simultaneously and over different types of communication channels.
Education systems which do not require a classroom teacher or instructor are well-known. For example, one type of such an education system involves the use of videotape for presenting educational information over television monitors to multiple locations. Many drawbacks exist, however, with respect to the use of such videotape technology as an educational tool. For instance, students cannot interact with a video tape presentation. In addition, videotape viewed over a communications channel and played from a remote site to multiple, simultaneous students or users cannot be randomly accessed by individual students. Other problems with videotape systems include the lack of immediate feedback to the user. In other words, videotape systems cannot provide a means to test the user and provide instantaneous feedback or provide response-dependent reinforcement of the subject material. Videotape systems also suffer from the requirement that, to be sent over certain communications channels such as Local Area Networks (LANs), the videotape signal must first be converted to a digital signal. The present invention is directed at overcoming these known drawbacks with videotape education systems.
The present invention is generally directed to a multifunctional digital video and multimedia presentation system, incorporating components which output video, modulated radio frequency channels, and data. The system of the invention may be controlled through telephony access, over a computer network using a web based graphical user interface, or via a wireless link using handheld devices. The system may be networked to a cable television distribution system, computer local area or wide area network, and via coaxial, fiber optic or wireless connections. The system outputs may be a variety of displays, including video monitors, television sets or computer displays. The system inputs may be standardized files, video, and audio delivered over the same types of communications channels used for presentation, or analog signals received directly from other sources.
In an exemplary embodiment, an interactive educational system comprises a server including permanent memory, a first communications channel, and a terminal for a student to receive educational materials. The materials may include data, video, and/or audio presented materials. The communications channel is bi-directional whereby the server communicates with the terminal, and the user interacts with the terminal to communicate with the server. The terminal may be a computer with a processor, a monitor, and a user controlled input device, such as a keyboard, a pointing device, a camera, or a microphone. In the exemplary embodiment, the first communications channel may be an Internet communications channel.
In accordance with the exemplary embodiment, the interactive educational system may further include multiple user terminals each of which provide random access to the educational materials. The educational materials are stored by the server, and each of the multiple users may access the precise location for materials which the particular user desires to use or be presented. The server prompts each of the separate users to demonstrate their comprehension of the educational materials used by that user or student, and the server evaluates the correctness of each user's responses and re-presents relevant portions of the educational materials to that user when that user fails to demonstrate adequate comprehension of the educational materials. In the exemplary embodiment, the server includes writeable/rewriteable memory, wherein each of the users'responses are recorded in the writeable/rewriteable memory.
The invention will be described in relation to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the following figures have the following general nature:
FIG. 1 is a representation schematic view of an educational system of the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is a flowchart representing features and process of the educational system of the present invention.
Corresponding reference numerals will be used throughout the several figures of the drawings.
Referring now to FIG. 1, an exemplary educational system 10 for providing educational materials of the present invention is depicted and includes a remotely located central operations unit, such as a computer server 12 having a plurality of communication channels 14 connected thereto. The server 12 includes a server processor 18, storage 20, and input/output 22.
While many known servers 12 may be used with the present invention, the server 12 should be capable of storing, accessing, and distributing computer applications, data, video, and audio. The server 12 should also be capable of handling multiple terminals associated with multiple, simultaneous users for the same set of educational materials, or portions thereof, as well as different sets of educational materials. The server 12 stores or accesses educational materials that may include digital computer records, programs, and/or applications, to a user located at a user terminal 64. A user thus accesses the server 12 by means of a user terminal 64, which communicates through at least one communications channel 14. As used herein, the user terminal 64 is defined as one or more components that either singly or together provide both input and output with the server 12. Therefore, the user terminal 64 may be a computer 68 which can both receive and transmit data or commands to the server 12 over a single communications channel 14, or the user terminal 64 may be a telephone 56 and one or more other devices whereby the telephone 56 allows the user to provide touchtone responses or input commands to the server 12 by means of a single communications channel 14 and whereby the one or more other devices communicate via a second communications channel 14.
The storage 20 includes a program memory 24, a content media storage 26, a content selection database 28, a user database 30, a test database 32, and a usage database 34. Other databases (not shown) may be added to the storage sector of the system 10 in order to store further information, and to enhance the capabilities of the system 10. Some databases may be eliminated or consolidated with the storage 20 of the system 10 and still be within the scope of the described invention. It should be noted that the storage 20, as well as the processor 18, utilize in various manners a permanent memory (commonly termed "ROM"), a temporary memory (known as RAM), and a writeable/re-writeable memory, as is readily known to one skilled in the art. The processor 18 may direct the accessing of the materials stored in the ROM databases, and the materials are then stored in the RAM. As is known in the art, the ROM may be a hard disk, a floppy disk, a CD-ROM, or other permanent digital recording means, as are known in the field of the art.
The program memory 24 stores programs of educational materials, and accesses the content media storage 26 and content selection database 28 for data relevant to the programs of educational materials in program memory 24. The user database 30 identifies and recognizes permitted users of the system 10, and categorizes available programs available to the user, as well as options available to the user at various times during a session. The test database 32 provides testing materials at various points in a session to a user to reinforce the materials. The results of such testing are stored as identified with the user in the usage database 34. In the case where the server 12 includes a writeable/re-writeable memory, as the user reads an instruction and responds to queries, the writeable/re-writeable memory records in the user database 30 the instruction a particular user has been presented and the results of the testing.
The usage database 34 recognizes and stores certain parameters and information regarding the access and use by users, including test responses. In some instances, it will be desirable for the system 10 to record not only objective data input from the user, such as answers to questions presented, but also video and audio responses of the user. For example, it may be desired to observe the physical behavior of how a user interacts with the system. In this case, the terminal 64 should include a camera 72 and a microphone (not shown) both of which will provide a signal output that is sent over the communications channel 14. In the case where a personal computer 80 or laptop computer 68 are employed, a computer controlled digital camera (not shown) may be employed. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that it is also possible to convert an analog output signal into a digital signal as an intermediary step prior to transmission to the server. It will be further understood that a digital signal will be received by a network interface 42 of the system 10 while an analog signal will be received by an AV I/O 48 of the system 10, both discussed herebelow.
The input/output 22 includes a console 40, a network input/output (I/O) 42, a modem 44, a telephony input/output (I/O) 46, an audio/video input/output (AV I/O) 48, and a Television (TV) modulator 50. As used herein, input/output (I/O) is a bi-directional communication over one or more paths where the "input" aspect is considered upstream, that is, from the user to the system, and where the "output" aspect is considered downstream, that is, from the system to the user. Any path is a computer data channel when the communication over that path is at least in part to or from a computer or microprocessor.
The console 40 is an input/output device or interface for use by a locally located server or system administrator. The console 40 may also provide interaction between the system 10 and a system administrator, for instance, to allow for the capture, or collection, of content to be stored in storage 20. The same function of capturing content to be stored in storage 20 may also be performed from a remote location by connecting to the system 10.
The network I/O 42 connects to area networks, such as a Local Area Network (LAN) 52 or Wide Area Network (not shown). The modem 44 connects to a phone line, such as a Public Switching Telephone Network (PSTN) 54.
The telephony I/O 46 connects to a signaling system such as a Private Branch exchange (PBX) 47 which in turn connects to a telephonic user interface, such as a telephone 56. In utilizing a telephone 56, a standard PCI computer accessory card (not shown) as part of the telephony I/O 46 provides voice prompts and interprets touchtone responses from the user via the telephone 56.
The AV I/O 48 may connect to an audio and/or video source 58, and/or to the TV modulator 50 which, in turn, connects to an end user's television set, represented as 60. It should be noted that, in the preferred embodiment, a plurality of TV modulators 50 are provided, each TV modulator 50 serving a separate simultaneous end user's television set 60. The audio and/or video sources 58 may include a satellite communications video downlink 70, a television signal camera 72, and a television receiver/demodulator and/or video tape player 74. Multi-channel PCI computer digital video decoder cards (not shown) as part of the AV I/O 48 are installed to provide analog audio and video to radio frequency television and video monitors, such as represented by 60.
The system 10 in its preferred embodiment has bi-directional communication to allow a direct exchange between a user and the server 12, and the bi-directional communication may be performed in a variety of methods and configurations. The communications channel 14 may be any channel capable of transmitting a signal from a server 12 to a remotely located terminal 64. Thus, the communications channel 14 may be a coaxial cable, a fiber optic line, a dedicated Internet line (such as ISDN or T1), a telephone line capable of transmitting modem or voice signals, a wireless, cellular, or other RF channel, or any other communications channel capable of carrying signals, depending on the required usage as discussed above and below. The server 12 transmits the proper educational materials to the terminal 64 via the communications channel 14, and the user controls the presentation of the educational materials with the appropriate input device.
It is of little consequence if a user terminal 64 connects to a PSTN 54 and then directly to the server 12 via the modem 44, or if the user terminal 64 connects from the PSTN 54 to the internet 62 and then to a LAN 52 before accessing the server 12 via the network I/O 42, or connects via a myriad of other routes that may be devised.
In the case where communications are being used over the PSTN 54, the PSTN 54 may further connect to the Internet 62 or to a terminal 64 of a user (not shown). There are multiple paths between various user terminals 64 and the server 12, for example, through the PSTN 54, the Internet 62, and the LAN 52.
In the case where communications are being made over the LAN 52, the LAN 52 may connect directly to a networked user terminal 64, to a wireless LAN bridge 66, or to the internet 62. The LAN bridge 66 is used to connect to a wireless user terminal, depicted as a wireless laptop computer 68, though other devices may be used.
In the case of a wireless communications channel, the terminal 64 may be a wireless telephone or handheld device, such as a Personal Data Assistant (PDA) or organizer, as well as a traditional computer 68 utilizing a wireless connection through a wireless LAN bridge 66, for instance. The terminal 64 may be a personal computer 80, which includes a processor, monitor, and input device, such as a keyboard or pointing device.
The user terminal 64 may also be a video monitor, represented by 60, coupled with telephone 56, a television set, also represented by 60, a wireless telephone (not shown) coupled with a video monitor 60, or PDA or organizer (not shown).
The user terminal 64 may be a computer terminal, such as a personal computer 80 or laptop computer 68, providing network access to the server 12. This may be accomplished via the modem 44 or the network I/O 42, the path for which has been described above. When interacting via personal computer 80 or laptop computer 68, software (not shown) is present in the terminal 64. The software may be a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, or Netscape Navigator, or one of the many other available browser interfaces for the display of world wide web pages. In addition, executable proprietary software (not shown) that is downloadable or available on diskette or CD-Rom may be provided that connects to the internet 62 without the need for a browser. A browser is the preferred method, as it is most generally available on personal computers 80, 68 without further programming. The server 12 is programmed to accommodate standardized interfaces which are supported by common operating systems such as Windows NT or Windows 2000, both products of the Microsoft Corporation. The server 12 includes a web site application (not shown) located either in storage 20 or in the processor 18, the application running continuously with available web pages (not shown) linked in a sequence analogous to a presentation provided over the telephony I/O 46 and AV I/O 48 interfaces. Playback of materials is accomplished using standard file formats and protocols installed on the server 12.
In some instances, it may be desirable to include a smart interface (not shown) to the terminals 64, particularly those incorporating a television 60 or television receiver/demodulator and/or video tape player 74, providing for infrared television remote control (not shown) or wireless keyboard (not shown) communications. A cable television modem (not shown) or other two-way radio frequency cable may be used to accomplish the communication.
In the case where a television 60 or television receiver/demodulator and/or video tape player 74 are employed, the system 10 is ideally utilized such that the broadcast to the television 60 or television receiver/demodulator and/or video tape player 74 are closed circuit or radio frequency to a nearby television 60 or television receiver/demodulator and/or video tape player 74.
As demonstrated, the system 10 provides for a user to access the system 10 and the educational materials from a variety of terminals 64. Utilizing the various databases 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, and 34 of the storage 20 of the server 12, the system 10 provides random access to each of the multiple, simultaneous users regardless of the terminal 64 being used by the users.
Referring now to FIG. 2, basic usage of the system 10 is depicted. A user is prompted to login via the terminal 64 or interface with the system 10, as at 100. When a user accesses the system 10, the system 10 verifies the identification of the users and/or location. The user database 30 determines whether the user is permitted access to the system 10 and provides an indication to a report composer 102 that will record and display a record of the materials covered as well as any test results (discussed below). The user is then prompted to select an option or make a content selection, as at 104, based upon desired program or selection (see above), by a content selection database 28, which may be located within one of the other previously discussed databases or a separate database, or the system 10 may default to a particular set or program of materials. The content selection database 28 communicates to the user database 30 to insure that access is permitted to the desired content and to determine what selections are made available to the user for content selection 104. The materials are then accessed from the content media storage 26 database to communicate and present the content, as at content presentation 108, for user viewing. The server 12 provides the materials over the communications channel 14 to the appropriate terminal 64 or interface. The materials may be in the form of digital video or audio and present questions regarding the subject matter of the materials. Programs may be paused or stopped, and the system 10 allows the user to return to the program at the exact stopping point in the future. The system 10 presents selections including options for content or interactivity such as video programming, interactive presentations, opinion survey, a test based upon previously viewed material, or the resumption of a previously selected program.
The system 10 then, in its preferred embodiment, proceeds to a retention assessment 110, or test. The focus of the interaction between the user and the materials provided by the server is that the user must demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the materials. At various points in the instruction, questions may be posed to the user to ensure longer-term retention of the material previously displayed. The system 10 accesses and communicates with the test database 32, the test database 32 providing the questions to be presented and communicating with the user database 30 in order to tailor the questions for the specific user. The materials or program may present questions that require a short answer, true/false, or multiple-choice response. The response of the user to each question presented is evaluated, by a verification 112, and recorded by the usage database 34 (response/usage database). If the question was answered correctly, the retention assessment 110 provides the next question to be answered or the program may continue with providing instruction. If the question was answered incorrectly, a presentation segment review 114 is activated, whereupon the content media storage 26 and content selection database 28 are prompted to represent the materials (content) that are relevant to the incorrectly answered question. The system 10 then re-presents the incorrectly responded to question and provides the user the opportunity to make a correct response. Once the correct response is attained, the system 10 continues through the questions in the test database 32 for that particular user and program. All interaction with the databases 28, 30, 32, and 34 are recorded in the report composition 102, as well as directed to a content/user administration 118.
All information sent to report composition 102 may be accessible by standard means and any type of report may be generated regarding users, performance, content or other desired report parameters. The report may be constructed and exported on demand to a local or network printer (not shown), or sent over compatible file format over a network for further analysis. In the case of the user being presented with an opinion survey, responses to the survey may be flagged or otherwise noted, for instance, in the case of a strong negative. The flagged responses may generate an alert transmitted over telephone, facsimile, or network communications (such as electronic mail (email)) for immediate action. The report composition 102 may provide printed reports 120, or may download to external databases, as at 122.
Administration may be conducted over the network connections, either proximally or distally (remotely) located from the system 10. This provides an administrator of the system 10 to alter, delete, or add content, selection or display structure or content, presentation, media content (materials) identification, authorization/de-authorization of users, and other operations. Access controls (not shown) are provided to prevent unauthorized tampering with the system 10. In the preferred embodiment, the system 10 includes a system administration program, such as a media capture scheduling/control program 107, that permits the addition and deletion of content (typically digital video and audio files, but also text or other types of files as are available as materials on the system 10). Ideally, the system 10 permits the input of materials (programming) that is not digital or is transferred via data networks, and, accordingly, the system 10 includes analog capture capability and permits scheduled digitization and recording to file of analog audio and video source material.
In an exemplary method, the user accesses the system 10 via a user terminal 64 comprising a telephone 56 and a monitor television 60. The telephone 56 communicates with the telephony I/O 46 which provides input/output to the storage 20 databases through the processor 18. After verifying the identification of the users and/or location, the system 10 directs the user to tune the monitor television 60 to a specific channel, dedicated to that session. The user is prompted to confirm the channel selection, whereupon an introductory screen is presented on the television 60. The introductory screen presents a set of options or selections to the user, as discussed above. After a selection is made by the user, the system 10 may present the educational materials, test the user based on the educational materials, record the user's responses, create a report of the user's activity, or act according to any of the other available options.
It will be recognized that the illustrated embodiments can be modified in arrangement and detail without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, to particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter regarded as the invention, the following claims conclude the specification.

Jamba Juice Strawberries Wild Smoothie Copycat
Want a Jamba Juice Smoothie RIGHT NOW but you don't want to get in your car and drive to a store? No problem, because I'm bringing you a copycat! This strawberry smoothie tastes just like a Jamba Juice Strawberries Wild!
Jamba Juice became super popular when I was in college. Every weekend I'd head to the closest store and get a huge smoothie and then go next door and get a bagel and cream cheese. Back then, I didn't worry about calories. It was fruit + bagel and that was breakfast (or sometimes lunch).
My favorite go-to #1 order at Jamba Juice was always the Strawberries Wild. To be perfectly honest, it was one of the only ones that appealed to me (besides the Peanut Butter Moo'd) because I'm really picky about fruit and I don't like peaches. As I got older (and calories started to matter) I switched to the Strawberry Whirl, because it was less calories. But I still love the Strawberries Wild best!
Jordan has inherited my love of Jamba Juice. She begs to go there constantly. I finally gave in a few weeks ago and when we walked in I almost had a heart attack. A small (not the normal huge cup they give you if you don't say "small") was almost $5. I could have bought dinner for 3 at McDonald's for what I paid for two smoothies.
So I came home and made my own. Now I can give her jamba juice whenever she asks, for a fraction of the cost and way less calories. #win
The secret to the Strawberries Wild smoothie is apple. I don't know why I don't throw an apple into every smoothie I make at home – I love the flavor it adds. It's perfect mixed into this smoothie with strawberries and bananas. I used Crunchpak apples because I always have them in my refrigerator for easy snacks and lunches for Jordan (her braces make it hard to eat whole apples) but you can slice your favorite apple for this smoothie. Gala or Fuji would be perfect, probably 1/2 an apple for one smoothie.
You can use frozen strawberries or fresh that have been frozen. When the berries are on sale this time of year I'll buy a lot of them and then wash and slice and freeze them so they're ready for smoothies. When I make my daily breakfast smoothie I use a fresh, room temperature banana (because I always forget to freeze them) but for this recipe I took the time to slice and freeze a banana about an hour before making it. Tip: slice a bunch of bananas and freeze 1 banana per sandwich bag. It's perfect portion control.
The classic jamba smoothies also have a yogurt base. Instead of using a high calorie frozen yogurt, I used nonfat vanilla greek yogurt. You can use any kind you like, or substitute regular/low-fat or plain, or even regular non-greek plain or vanilla yogurt.
With all the frozen fruit, your blender needs some liquid to help it process. I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk, which is what I use in all my smoothies. You can substitute soy or coconut milk, or non-fat/regular milk, or even water. Note: I use a Blendtec blender, which is very powerful. Because of that I only used 1/4 cup of liquid. If your blender is less powerful you may need to add up to 1/2 cup of liquid so you don't burn out the motor. Be sure to put the liquid in first, before the frozen fruit.
The beauty of making this smoothie at home is that you can substitute your own ingredients. It's easy to make this dairy-free by leaving out the yogurt or you can make the smoothie sweeter by adding sweetener of your choice. Add some protein by adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder or add flax or wheat germ for some added nutrition.
Plus, it costs about $1 to make it at home, which means you can drink it every day and not have to mortgage your house.
My only problem now is that when Jordan asks I have no reason not to make it for her…other than my own laziness. Is cleaning a blender the worst thing ever, or is it just me?
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or nonfat milk, coconut milk, or water)
- 1/4 cup nonfat vanilla greek yogurt (or regular/low fat, plain, or regular vanilla yogurt)
- 1 medium banana (sliced and frozen)
- 3-4 frozen sliced strawberries (a heaping 1/4 cup)
- 4-5 apple slices (a heaping 1/4 cup)
- Sweetener of choice, optional (I didn't use any sweetener)
- Optional: add some flax or wheat germ or protein powder for added nutrition
- Place almond milk (or desired liquid) in the bottom of your blender. Add the yogurt and frozen fruit. Blend until smooth.
- Dairy-Free option: use almond, soy, or coconut milk or water and omit yogurt (or use a DF equivalent). If omitting the yogurt, use a room temperature banana instead of frozen for a smoother feel.
Blender 101: depending on the blender you use you may need more than 1/4 cup of liquid. I use a very strong Blendtec, so less liquid is okay, but if your blender isn't as strong, you may need to add up to 1/4 cup more liquid to get it to process without burning out the gears.
Fruit 101: You can use frozen strawberries, or clean, hull, and slice fresh, then freeze them. I like to slice bananas and freeze 1 per sandwich bag so they are always ready for smoothies.

I've actually never had a Jamba Juice Smoothie! Crazy right?! Clearly I must fix this problem, and this smoothie looks perfect to start. Throwing an apple in there is SO surprising! pinned!
I love this healthy take! It looks so good right about now. I've got the Monday morning blues.
This will be breakfast one day this week for sure!
That looks delicious! I love trying smoothie variations, especially thick and creamy ones. Will have to try this soon!
The strawberries wild was always my favorite smoothie too! And this one definitely looks like it could rival it! Love that it's healthier and a lot less expensive. Pinned!
So yum! We love smoothes at our house (and uh, duh, Peanut Butter Moo'd is friggin awesome!!!). And we're BIG jamba fans around here, but we don't have one near by So I'll totally be using this recipe next time the craving hits! (and nice photos BTW, lookin' good!!!!!)
Haha no! Cleaning a blender is the worst thing! I don't even know why but it is This Jamba Juice copycat looks perfect! Love all the ingredients and how simple it is! Pinned
After you finish making your smoothie, add water and dish soap to the blender and give it a whirl. It gets all of the extra grime off so all you need to do is rinse it afterwards. Works like a charm!
Love this healthier Jamba Juice especially at only $1 a pop. It looks and sounds so good and the apple sounds like such a great idea! Pinning
OMG I see you utilized the backlight on these photos like Connie mentioned! Girl I just started some shots yesterday with backlight and it is like a revelation lol. These are so gorgeous girl!
Oh wow, I had no idea the prices had gone up so much! I haven't been to a Jamba Juice in ages – there are several in my home town in CA, but I'm pretty sure there's not a single one in Michigan, so I'm super excited that now I can make this one at home! Thanks for sharing the recipe
Cleaning the blender is THE worst. But I read on Pinterest (go figure) that you can just add soap and water to the blender cavity, blend it, and rinse it out. Viola! Easy peasy. Almost as easy as making JAMBA JUICE AT HOME!! Holy crap, this is life-changing!
This looks so good right now! On a warm day like today, this would be my dream. Bookmarked and happening soon!
Wow what a great idea! I have never even had the Jamba Juice one since I am too el cheapo and just make my own LOL Love strawberry smoothies and this is so pretty! Pinned
This smoothie is such a creation of beauty! SO glad I saw this…will be making it soon. I LOVE smoothies, but haven't gotten into the habit of adding apple. What's wrong with me??? That's about to change. Thanks –
This looks really, really good. And thanks for the tip about the apple, I'll definitely be trying that next time!
I love the strawberries wild smoothie at jamba juice! This looks so delicious!
My Favorite was Chocolate Moo'd. It was a chocolate malt smoothie. I wonder if they still make that one – haven't been there is years. Your pics of this strawberry version are amazing!
I can imagine that flavor was lovely I guess I will have to try it 😀

Wow, that pic is beautiful. Looks like I could just stick a straw through the computer screen and drink it. Love the recipe!
Thanks for the copycat! I no longer go to Jamba Juice because they have become so expensive. And LOL re the bagel and Jamba Juice for lunch. I remember in college, thinking I was having a light lunch when I would eat an entire bagel with cream cheese, and a piece of fruit on the side.
Low and behold I have everything I need in my fridge to make this! So I will be having this for breakfast this week! It is out favorite smoothie too!
I've never heard of Jamba juice before but I am loving the way you have described it and it's making me crave a TALLLLL glass of this deliciousness!!! I soooo agree with you!!!! Juices and smoothies from high end stores are SO EXPENSIVE! This homemade version is not just light on the pocket but in calories too! LOVE IT!
What a fantastic composition of protein and fruits! It's a great source of vitamin C and vitamin B6. Perfect idea to start a day with and even better after morning training.
I don't have a Jamba Juice close by, but MAN do I want to give this recipe a try! Sounds delish!
Looks amazing!
OMG. I've been craving Jamba Juice! I think I'll make this for breakfast right now!! Thanks for the recipe, Dorothy – pinned!
this is the kids favorite, and I never would have guessed to add apples – can't wait to try them at home
We ALWAYS go to Jamba first when we go back home to Cali.(it's in the budget! Lol!) We are in Ohio so the best we get are the ore packaged ones that Walmart is now selling in the frozen section. Your copycat looks very refreshing! Never thought of slicing and freezing bananas. Great tip! I love all of your recipes. Thanks for sharing!
I am so glad I have all of the ingredients on hand, because this looks amazing!
It has been forever since I have been to Jamba Juice…like 14 years I think. I remember them being so good, but yes, who wants to spend their life savings on smoothies. Love this fun copycat version. And I want more details on this backlighting that you and Jocelyn are talking about…I need help with it so much!!!

We did the Jamba Juice & bagels thing all the time too! But my mom made us bike all the way across town (there were 2 huge hills — ugh!) and we'd split the smoothie and each ate half of the bagel. But we were little, so it was probably about the same. We definitely didn't worry about calories then either — I always picked the cheesy bagels and smothered them in butter! 😉 Strawberries Wild is one of my favorites, and I love how you added Greek yogurt! Definitely want to try this really soon when the next heat wave hits!
I love Jamba Juice but you are 100% right about the prices. Good for me that none are close so it is always a special treat and rare occasion. I make homemade smoothies all the time but never with apple. I will have to try that out tomorrow morning.
I used to always order the strawberries wild when I was a kid!! Boy does this take me back! I can't believe how simple it ins! I will have to try using regular milk because I am allergic to almond, but I can't wait to try it out!
I always throw an apple in, they're great. This looks super. I love that it can be dairy free too!
Oh my – looks so good! LOVE great smoothie recipes – thanks!
I've never been to Jamba Juice (I know!) but I used to love a local smoothie place. Now I make smoothies at home all the time. I love that they are soooooo much healthier and I know exactly what's in them.
So many people are going to flip over this recipe Dorothy! Not only is this is a spot on EASY copycat, it is so much cheaper! Gorgeous photos and awesome recipe!
Do I need to peel the apples first or can I just throw the whole thing in?

Hey Dorothy they sell some smoothie fruit "kits" by the frozen department in my local supermarkets. Do you think they're the same you are talking about about the Jamba smoothie stores?

Recipe by Lucy Loo
"A savory/sweet stuffing of chicken, raisins, walnuts, sugar and spices fills these chile peppers with flavor. Topped with a creamy goat cheese sauce and garnished with fresh chopped cilantro, this dish is a treat for both eyes and palette. Muy sabroso (very flavorful)!"

1/2 bunch
cilantro, finely chopped
I loved the combinations of flavors but there must be an error in the creamy
goat cheese sauce. This sauce was too thick and couldn't be poured. I would
make it again but add milk to thin the mixture so that it could be poured
over the chiles.
I am mexican and chiles en nogada get their name from the sauce; nogada derives from nut and is cream, pecans and spices, not goat cheese, and is aserved with pomegranate. THe filling is usually beef.

Outstanding for creativity, flavor and presentation. I do have a few suggestions. It took me about an hour to roast and clean a dozen large poblanos - which is not factored into the time requirement. I also left a few seeds to add some heat, substituted about one-half pork (for a total of about 2.5-3 lbs meat), and reduced the cream cheese to one 8 oz package (and still needed to thin a little with milk). Everyone loved this!
This recipe is just out of this world! It really is an extraordinary blend of flavors. I've had a similar dish at San Angel Inn at Walt Disney World Epcot Resort. It was made with pork instead of chicken. I was told that this dish is normally served warm or at room temperature and pomegranate seeds are added for garnish. Next time I make it, I will add the pomegranate seeds - it really adds to the texture.
I used this recipe and we all loved it!
i am glad i finally found the recipe for this although it is confusing because i know that these chiles usually use cream and pomegranate seeds as a garnish!! cuz that way the colors are green, white and red. that's why it's such a patriotic dish around september!
The original chiles en nogada are with meat, almonds, and fresh fruits, sauced with tomatoe sauce, nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon... sorry, i didn´t like it
I made a few changes due to personal preference and what I had on hand. I used chicken breasts, and omitted the raisins, nutmeg and walnuts (we're not huge fans, and I didn't really like the idea of them in this recipe). I upped the amount of garlic, and also added some Adobo seasoning. I topped the sauced peppers with some Mexican cheese blend, and broiled them til the cheese was bubbly. Served it with tomato/cilantro rice. Wow, what an awesome meal! Husband couldn't get enough. Thanks, Lucy Loo!

— William Penn
Hey there, Miss Lily! I am so glad that you are finally putting your Dad, Devon and Jack on notice that you will no longer tolerate them erasing what the newby has done to you and your family. If they want to accept that crap, so be it! But you are not required to do so. In addition to trying to trap and kill your hubby, Everyone forgets that St. Drug-A-Hubby also blogged that you were cheating on Cane & provided inaccurate photos to support your involvement w/ another male. She never expressed remorse or apologized. I got the feeling that she wanted your life--which seems to be the envy of every newcomer in your orbit. If this separates you from Daddy Dearest, so be it! Glad to see you befriending Kelly. Hope she turns out to be a good friend. Have a good evening, a spectacular night and I will holler at you again on tomorrow.
FYI: Lily will be on screen again in tomorrow's episode.
Finally, Lily tells her daddy things he should hear about his relationship w/ the newby. So sorry she did not go far enough! Lily saw her mother go over a cliff & she did not try to hurt either Sharon or Phyllis, both of whom were involved. Nor did she go around expecting folks to pity her b/c she lost her mother. Nor was Neil so involved w/ her grief at that point. The newby lost her mother more than 6 years ago; yet she came to GC to decimate a family. That ain't right nor should it be glossed over lightly. Love your argument to Uncle Daddy today! Go Lily! Love your new office!
Yes, Neil was waaaaaaaay out of bounds today. Lily had to tell her daddy a thing or 2, and she did it with class and respect.
Some come and leave, fulfilling a single purpose; others, for a time or a season to teach us by sharing their experiences; and last, a select few who participate forever with relationships that endure through eternity. — Jaren L. Davis.
It's the first day of spring, Lils! Time for a new beginning and I hope it's a good one. Have a great day I will catch you next time.
Hi, Rfan, Shalaydra, Luvroflife, & Daneerose! I am so glad to see you and thankful that you are still posting! Thank you. Have a great spring day. Enjoy it while you can. I understand we are possibly getting some snow next week. Only March Madness can keep folks inside!
Love Lily and Cane as a couple. One of the high points of YR. Give Lily a positve story line with glamor. Please write in a romantic second honey moon for them. Would like to see them go to an exotic location and find DRU. Perhaps, she had been kidnapped or a victim of human trafficing or memory loss. Would like to reunite Neil and Dru.
Luv Lily and have great respect for her fans. Have a great weekend Lily fans.
Chop your own wood, and it will warm you twice.
— Henry Ford
Hope you are having a lovely time today, aMrs. Ashby. I hope all of your time and your great office are not spent propping Kelly so she can have a romance w/ Jack or that newby who is always managing to enter your scenes. Working for Devon is OK; but I hope you find your passion soon. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Will holler at you again next time.
When we have peace in our hearts and minds, we draw peace into our lives. — Iyanla Vanzant
What a pleasant day! I wish you lots of love, joy, peace, self-control and a lovely Saturday! Will catch you next time!
I read somewhere that Lily (her actress) was leaving the show. Anyone else hear anything.

Grey's Anatomy
When Will Grey's Anatomy End? Sara Ramirez Says …
It's hard to believe that it was nine years ago that Grey's Anatomy and all of its many love triangles entered our lives. But how much longer will we get to enjoy all of the quirky patients, complicated marriages, and nail-biting surgeries?
Sara Ramirez (Callie Torres) recently talked to Latina Magazine about the rarity of the show's success, her happiness, and the future of Seattle Grace-Mercy West.
It's nine years later, and people are still glued to their television screens. So how do they do it? According to Sara, it's about keeping things fresh and new. "I love talking about how different this year feels, because it does…it feels different. I feel really proud of the show. And proud to work with everybody that I work with," she said.
The fact that it's so rare for a television drama to be around for this long is not lost on Sara. However, thinking about the end only makes her appreciate the present.
"I think about it all of the time," she admitted. "Security and stability is very rare for an artist ... So I'm just focusing on being grateful and taking it in right now, you know, because it could end ... any minute."
We don't like the sound of the show ending any minute. After everything we've been through with these characters, we certainly hope we get more closure than that. Luckily, Sara can see that happening as well: "So, if it goes years, it'll be years. If it goes a year it'll be a year. [Laughs] I'm not saying it's easy, but you kind of, you have to let go of the outcome."
She's not kidding. We think we're a little more freaked out about Grey's ending than Sara is. The good news is that the current contracts of Patrick Dempsey (Derek Shepherd), Ellen Pompeo (Meredith Grey), Sandra Oh(Cristina Yang), Justin Chambers (Alex Karev), Chandra Wilson (Miranda Bailey) and James Pickens Jr. (Richard Webber) last another year (aka through Season 10).
As fans of the show, the least we can do is enjoy it while it lasts, right? Right. We'll see you Thursday. And then, hopefully, for many Thursdays after that.
Catch the next new episode of Grey's Anatomy on Thursday, December 6 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

GOSHEN — The clock has six seconds in the fourth quarter. 'Busco has a third down with five and goal. The score stands at 23-21 with Fairfield leading.
The fans scream from both sides. The snap goes. Junior Cody Conwell makes a breakaway, pushing a defender out of his way. And then, the visiting crowd erupts, somehow louder than before — Eagles top the Falcons, 29-23.
The Eagles will spend the week preparing for next Fridays' game against what Etzler said is another long time rival, Lakeland.

smooth, strong, and quiet
The shifting on the new Dyna-Sys cassette is amazing. 10 speed specific shift geometry ensures a clean shift every time, and you'll never get any "skating." This cassette is much quieter than its one-piece counter part. I like the 36 tooth big cog option.
Bhong Trinidad
All parts complete for my planned bike except the drivetrain, I was set to go XT and I already had this M771 XT 11-32 Cassette (10 speed) but getting confuse on what kind of RD that would match this Cog. I would appreciate if anyone respond. Thanks you very much. Not so familiar yet with XT
