Lisa On Monday, October 1 at 6:38 am
If it's Wednesday night, shouldn't we be watching the Presidential Debates at that time?
Irma Saud On Monday, October 1 at 11:42 am
I hope everyone watches the debates, but we must take time out to play along.
Regina On Monday, October 1 at 6:41 am

BBsitter On Tuesday, October 2 at 7:58 am

Jerica On Monday, October 1 at 6:59 am
I Loooooove this movie! I have been watching it twice a year with my family since I was a child. We make a huge evening of it. My favorite scene in the movie is in the beginning portion before it even gets to the color part. I can recite most of the movie from memory, lol. I can't wait!
Georgann G On Monday, October 1 at 7:25 am
It is ON like Donkey Kong!
kelly d On Monday, October 1 at 7:27 am

Mandi On Monday, October 1 at 7:30 am

Mandi On Monday, October 1 at 7:30 am
Oops, found another. 3 places it says Wednesday
Mel G On Monday, October 1 at 8:11 am
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!!
Tiff On Monday, October 1 at 8:19 am
In answer to 'Why?' I'm sure you meant to say: "because, because, because, because, because!!"
STEPHANIE On Monday, October 1 at 8:25 am
Just wondering— why do you list Pacific Time when you are in Central?
Just curious.
Hollie On Monday, October 1 at 8:48 am
Oooooh I so got this one in the bag.. you have no idea. This movie was my big brothers obsession for the better part of our lives when we were growing up. If I have seen this thing once I have seen it a million times. I can be in another room and barely hear the noise from it and start quoting it word for word. So sad lol.
Brook V On Monday, October 1 at 8:49 am
My family LOVES The Wizard of Oz! It's our tradition to watch it every Thanksgiving together.
Emily T On Monday, October 1 at 9:00 am
I wonder if there will be a question about how you can watch this movie to the Pink Floyd album "Dark Side of the Moon." You start the music on the second mgm lion's roar. It really works!!
DCMS On Tuesday, October 2 at 1:38 pm
Yes! It does!
Skinnyme On Monday, October 1 at 9:01 am
This sounds like fun, Watched Wizard of Oz for years at Thanksgiving time.
Rebecca On Monday, October 1 at 9:36 am
The Wizard of Oz is one of my favorites.. I have watched it so many times that I know the words forwards and backwards. Can't wait till my little girl is old enough to watch it.
Helen On Monday, October 1 at 10:03 am
My favorite movie!
ptunia1 On Monday, October 1 at 10:09 am
From it came my favorite saying…"there's no place like home."
Niki S. On Monday, October 1 at 10:20 am
I won't be attending this quiz because I am probably the only person on earth that hates this movie.
Maria On Monday, October 1 at 1:07 pm
You're definitely not the only one! I've never really been able to explain why I hate it so much. I just do. Everyone always looks at me like I have 3 heads when I tell them that, though.
CL On Monday, October 1 at 1:52 pm
You're not alone. My mother hated this movie. Of course, maybe it had something to do with the fact that I watched it every. single. day.
JennCutt On Monday, October 1 at 7:57 pm
You are definitely not alone. I absolutely hate this movie and anything to do with it. I remember watching this movie when I was a little kid and hiding behind the couch because the witch and her flying monkeys scared me. I'm 44 now and still can't watch it. Even the picture at the top of this blog post creeps me out. LOL!
grandma glenda On Monday, October 1 at 8:37 pm
Won't be watching!! can't stand those flying monkeys either not then and not now but do luv the good witch LOL
Alecia On Monday, October 1 at 9:21 pm
Niki – I couldn't agree with you and the growing band of folks that can't stand this movie. It freaks me out…always has, always will. I can't believe that this is some people's favorite movie of all time. Growing up, I was convinced my parents were trying to torture us by making us watch it every stinking year. Ugh. That photo gives me the all overs. Gick.
SD Ranchwife On Monday, October 1 at 10:05 pm
I totally agree! Absolutely the scariest movie ever! I remember it being on while I was in the hospital at 6 yrs old. I was so scared and didn't even have my Mom there with me.
Lisa F. On Monday, October 1 at 10:43 am
Can't wait — my favorite movie of all time!
Heather Violet On Monday, October 1 at 5:21 pm
Me too!! My all time favorite
Mary P. On Monday, October 1 at 11:03 am
Yay – I love your movie quizzes!
Cat Cooks in WI On Monday, October 1 at 11:16 am
Woohoo!! YES!!
Bev @ Bev Cooks On Monday, October 1 at 11:35 am
OOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMGGGGG. It's my time to shiiiiine!
Kathy S On Monday, October 1 at 11:38 am
Look what you've done! I'm melting! melting! Oh what a world!
laurah On Monday, October 1 at 11:55 am
Tried to watch this movie but HATED it and got through about 25 minutes or so. None of my kids or grandkids have ever seen it either. No interest.
Jill R On Monday, October 1 at 12:07 pm
LOVE LOVE LOVE—all but the flying monkeys–they still give me nightmares!!
Diane F. On Monday, October 1 at 12:08 pm
I live in the Eastern Time Zone. I will try. Just getting home from work.
MimiGin On Monday, October 1 at 12:39 pm
I'm with laurah. My mom loved this movie, watched it every year, everytime.
It gave me nightmares – EVERY YEAR, EVERYTIME.
Ruth On Monday, October 1 at 12:44 pm
I'm in!
Kathie Ragusa-Hallock On Monday, October 1 at 12:46 pm
Always love to watch this movie since I was little..now that my parents have passed makes it that much more special…
carla eden On Monday, October 1 at 12:48 pm
Ree, while I get why you don't use Central time, why not use Eastern? Every time anything is advertised on television, or in print, it usually says (for example) 8pm, 7pm central. It's what everyone in all time zones are already used to, ya know? Just a thought
bc in edmond On Monday, October 1 at 7:56 pm
i totally agree with you! the tv stations never use pacific time as their guideline – since everyone knows you live in oklahoma, central time makes way more sense
Sandi On Monday, October 1 at 12:53 pm
I used to know this backwards and forwards but haven't gotten to see it in a few years so hope none of the itty bitty details mess me up. I saw "Wicked" this summer, which was really interesting when comparing some of the concepts.
sharon M On Monday, October 1 at 4:37 pm
Yeah! I love this movie!!
Steph in WV On Monday, October 1 at 5:29 pm
Yeah – love this movie, but since i did poorly on my other favorite movie (Gone with the Wind quiz) I guess it is just as well I am on call and will likely be at the hospital.
Victoria On Monday, October 1 at 6:23 pm
The Denver Symphony Orchestra just had a great production where the orchestra played along with the music while the movie played. It was excellent. Don't think it will help me on the quiz though!
Deb On Monday, October 1 at 8:12 pm
I love the Wizard of Oz and was so excited that my son's high school is doing the Wizard of Oz for their spring musical this year. He is a junior and was in the musical his freshman and sophomore year. ( Bye Bye Birdie and Kiss Me Kate). He would make an awesome scarcrow.
Sue S. On Monday, October 1 at 10:05 pm
I can hardly wait!!! I hope you know how much fun you have added to my life with all of the fun things you involve us with on your website. My teenage sons and husband get such a kick out of how much fun I have. They even help with the quizes. Even the kids I teach in high school know all about you! I just wanted you to know how I felt. Thanks again for all you do! : )
Lisa B On Tuesday, October 2 at 7:25 am
I need a quiz to start during the daytime, just once! I'm on a computer all day at work so I don't even have one at home. I miss out on all the fun!
Paula Hardy On Tuesday, October 2 at 7:38 am
I wish winner was picked from all the people with the right answers. More fair to people that can't get on at nights or at a special time preset by contest.
Barbara in Texas On Tuesday, October 2 at 8:00 am
This is my ALL time favorite movie! Can't wait for Wednesday!

L Frank Baum lived in Aberdeen South Dakota from 1889-1891 where he operated an import shop and also wrote a weekly newspaper before moving to Chicago where he wrote the Wizzard Of Oz. Aberdeen is 41 miles North from my hometown. They have a StoryBook Land park that features a castle, figures of the cast of the Wizzard that is located next to Wylie Park, it's a great place to take the family for a day or campover, there is a small swimming pond and go carts for older children.
angelscairns On Tuesday, October 2 at 3:15 pm
Toto is the only reason I watch WoO – I usually try to catch the beginning because he is in all the scenes. Loved Toto so much that now I have three "Toto" dogs (Cairn terriers) and volunteer with Col. Potter Cairn Rescue. Check out the real life Totos at cairnrescue.com!

Here on the West Coast tonight Wed the 3rd of Oct. The presidental debates begin at 4pm. I don't know how long they run as soon as they are over I hope the Wizard of OZ quiz will still be posted. Think I've seen this movie more than any other. FInally a movie I know something about I hope I think. I'm a bit older demographic to know about the Mollie Ringwald and her generation movies so I don't do well on those. OK see you here after the debates. Thank you Ree for all you do this is the best site you've created love it.

renee amicon On Wednesday, October 3 at 4:03 pm
Holy Smoke I love this movie, but even at 46 years old, those flying Monkeys still freak me out!!! So "Were off to see the Wizard"…………. and, well heck the monkeys too.!!!
Kim L On Wednesday, October 3 at 4:49 pm
I love this movie!! I remember my mother talking about the first time I watched it I cried when the flying monkeys were on, but needless to say I got over that, lol. I still watch it at least once a year. Wow, that means I've watched this movie more than 50 times. Dang, I'm getting old.
Melissa On Wednesday, October 3 at 6:07 pm
I love this movie so much, I used to beg my mother to let me legally change my name to Dorothy when I was a little girl.

KayEddy On Wednesday, October 3 at 7:17 pm
My daughter LOVED this movie–she has a nice collection of items depicting the characters and one year I even gave her a script. (I think she could already recite the entire thing). When she was little she always wanted to watch it but we would have to turn it off when it came to the monkey's taking Toto (They could take Dorothy, the Tin Man etc…..but NOOOO NOT TOTO!!!) For quite awhile we'd have to pause it at that point to console her! She turned out to be quite the animal lover!
Rachel On Wednesday, October 3 at 7:18 pm
Fiddle I got 95% can't figure out which one I got wrong? maybe the last one and one is a trick question because really non of the answers are right I just went with the corresponding item SO fun! Thanks for hosting!

I got home late from my son't soccer game, but came and scored 100% (and he scored the only point in his game!) I know I am in the running for 3rd prize, hope I get it! Good luck everyone!
Ashley On Wednesday, October 3 at 8:02 pm
Wizard if Oz is my all time favorite movie. I am
29 and I still watch jt when it comes on tv. When I was 3 I would pretend I was Dorothy and my brother who was like 1 was Toto. Also when I was like 10 my grandparents took as to Washington DC and go to the Smithsonian and the red ruby slippers were supposed to be there. But when we got there they had already moved the slippers to a museum in New York. I still haven't seen the slippers but I plan in seething them one day! Thanks for the fun quiz
Susan Ericson On Wednesday, October 3 at 8:07 pm
Okay, so 85%…dang….I thought I knew this movie completely….so, how many munchkins were in the lollipop guild?
LaDawn On Wednesday, October 3 at 8:20 pm
So, I'm a little late to the party, but scored 100%. LOVE this move!!!! Thanks for the opp to win a prize.
Melanie On Wednesday, October 3 at 8:40 pm
85%…what did I get wrong! UGH! My sister will be so disappointed…we watch this movie every year together.

Andrea Lofton On Wednesday, October 3 at 9:39 pm

Favorite movie of ALL time. "Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?" Best line ever. 100 percent!!! wooo hoooo!
Janine On Wednesday, October 3 at 10:11 pm
I guess I have to brush up!! 70% eeek!!
Juli T On Thursday, October 4 at 12:58 am
Yes! 100%! I live in Cali, but was born in Kansas and lived there until I was 7. We watched the Wizard of Oz every single year. The part where the lion gets terrified in the Emerald Palace and goes running down that long hall used to scare me to death! Whenever people in California would find out I was from Kansas, I always got the, "So, how's Dorothy & Toto?" Kids are so lame…hahaha!
Juli T On Thursday, October 4 at 1:11 am
Am I right or wrong in thinking that when they first talk to the Wizard and his booming voice scares the lion, that he ran and jumped through a window. I just looked at a script from 1939 and it said that when the lion was asked by the Wizard what he wanted, the lion fainted. Hmmmm…..
Sue in WA On Thursday, October 4 at 1:09 am
100% Thanks for an easy quiz (for me anyway). And thanks for using Pacific Time. The west coast always gets left out. Your sister and I appreciate the acknowledgement!
Ms Bon On Thursday, October 4 at 7:38 am
I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too! ah ha hahahahha My FAV!
WhurlGurl On Thursday, October 4 at 8:14 am
That was the best I have done on any of the quizzes….but still didn't get 100%…Darn!!!
Susan On Thursday, October 4 at 8:35 am
When is the quiz?
Jessica S. On Thursday, October 4 at 10:46 am
Yes, I got 100%!
Jennifer Ryder On Thursday, October 4 at 12:31 pm
A few years ago we realized that our son for some reason had never seen The Wizard of Oz so we made him watch it. It's funny how many other movies and commercials reference this movie! Now he gets them.
Diane On Thursday, October 4 at 1:37 pm
Finally a movie I know – 100% baby!!!

Sparkly Green Earrings
Over the past year, many of you have enjoyed my good friend Melanie/Big Mama's posts here on PW Entertainment. She and I share a love of TV (the good, the bad, and the wacky) and nobody can write with equal fervor and passion about Downton Abbey, Friday Night Lights, and Real Housewives as well as Melanie can.
There are people in this world who make me laugh. My sister is one of them. Melanie's another.
A longtime blogger, Melanie writes exactly the way she talks. Whether I'm reading an email she's sent or taking in one of her daily blog posts, I can clearly hear her voice saying the words. And I laugh. Out loud. And not in an "LOL" kind of way—more in an oh-my-goodness-that-is-hilarious kind of way. Melanie has a gift of taking everyday moments—whether they're inherently funny, not all that inherently funny, or, yes, even inherently sad or difficult—and summing them up in a short phrase or sentence that puts everything in an entertaining perspective. With Melanie, the humor is always there.
Today, Melanie's book Sparkly Green Earrings is released. I got to read an advanced copy of the book a few months ago, and…well…I inhaled it.
I absolutely loved it.
Sparkly Green Earrings is a memoir, and covers Melanie's experiences with marriage, pregnancy, childbirth, and the first year of motherhood. In the blurb I wrote for the book, I said that as I read the book, I actually wondered if she'd tapped into my memory of having my first child. It was so right-on-the-money.
If you've had a baby, you'll relate.
If you've tried to have a baby, you'll relate.
If you're not sure you'll ever have a baby, you'll relate.
If you decided one child was enough for you, you'll relate.
If you've ever requested an epidural in the first trimester, you'll relate.
If you've ever eaten your weight in chips and salsa in a single sitting…well, that's another story for another time.
Melanie's book is funny. Really funny. But it's emotional, too. As I read it (both the first time…and the second!) I dabbed my eyes several times. Okay, I cried. Not because the book is filled with horrible tragedies and epic struggles…but because Melanie so brilliantly conveys regular disappointments and wrinkles that accompany daily life in a way that makes you feel them, too. And if your faith plays a role in your life—if it's the only thing coming between you and total insanity most days—you'll love the way Melanie weaves her faith through her writing. But, true to form, it's never in a loud, beat-the-bible kind of way. It's just there…in the sidelines…in the background…around the perimeter. Kind of like the beating heart that keeps it all going.
In a word: the book is delightful. Well-written, real, and funny to the end. Hope you love it as much as I did!
Here's where you can find it:

Joe Rogan and his use of the "R-Word"
The main event of UFC 169 had its fair share of controversy, particularly with what many believed to be an early stoppage by Herb Dean. However, the oddness did not end there. During the post-fight interview with Urjiah Faber, long-time commentator Joe Rogan suggested that Chad Mendes could have the next shot at the Bantamweight title. When Faber pointed out that Mendes was in a different weight class, Joe Rogan responded with "Oh that's right, I'm retarded."
Rogan's choice of words have sparked a tiny amount of controversy. But is it really that big of a deal? Using the word "retarded" in the way he did was obviously not the ideal thing to say. He's a professional commentator for a billion-dollar sporting organization that was broadcasting on national television. It's very possible that his words reached a few people that were offended, and Rogan made himself look silly. There were any number of things that he could have said that didn't potentially insult or offend others.
That being said, it was a clear case of Rogan simply saying something without thinking, and it was highly doubtful that there was any kind of malicious or insulting intent towards people with mental disabilities. Rogan has called thousands of UFC fights, and has done fairly raunchy stand-up comedy for well over twenty years. The fact that he has only slipped up a few times is actually pretty impressive. This instance wasn't even the worst mistake he's made during a broadcast. Back at the prelims on UFC 146, which were televised on FX, Rogan exclaimed that Diego Brandao was "getting F****ed up."
Rogan should not have said "retarded" in the way that he did, and that should go without saying. But this is not an issue that people should really even see as notable; this was a silly slip-up, and everyone makes them. Rogan just happened to make his on national television, where everything is hyper-scrutinized.
0 Responses to "Joe Rogan and his use of the "R-Word""
During the Diego Bradao fight he said "thumped on", not "fucked up."
they should just say fucked up… it's a fight.. it's adult content so adult language is appropriate. if you're watching a fight and get offended by adult language, go fuck yourself. that wasn't directed at you Joe Daddy.
its no big deal, meaning, dont waste time writing a dumb story on it.
wonder how much money this retarded author got for writing this retarded article.
who cares!!!! This is all retarded. Sensitive dumb asses. It was in reference to himself not the mentally challenged. Man, this shows the direction our society is headed. Can't say or do anything anymore.
thanks! took the words right outta my mouth
Joe Rogan IS retarded. Glad he can admit it,
I like the part where you say it's sparked a tiny amount of controversy, then ask if it's a big deal.. yet you're writing about something that isn't a big deal. Also, it wasn't on national tv. Derp.
The only person bring this up is the retarded author of this post !
Ok look if your offendedyby the word retard in the time and world we live in where violence beyond ufc is viewed daily on cnn and any other news source then fuck it. Your dumbass needs to shoot ypurself in the face. Why fuck you thats why. There are more offensive things going on other than this. Joe Rogan is an awesome commentator. He more than likely was a lil stoned and confused.
who gives a crap??? retarded means "slow" or "backwards". since when is it the "r-word"…stupid and RETARDED
Yeah I read that and told myself no more UFC because Joe offended me with his comment.
Yeah right. Gethefuckouttahere with this s***.
Herb Dean can make a mistake, so can Joe. Rogan is one of THE most sensitive broadcasters out there – in his podcast they joke and melee, but he always make sure to point out when he messes up and rights the wrong. Bad choice of words, ok, heat of the moment, I would be very surprised if he makes the same mistake twice. As for the Brandao comment, he was right on – Dustin Poirier f*d him up!!
I grimaced as soon as he said it, and i'm sure he'd take it back if he could. For anyone who thinks throwing that word around loosely is okay, I suggest looking at yourself and at how fortunate you are to not be disabled. Truth is, the word is now becoming much more associative with the people who use it, then the people who the term was initially created for.
My son is retarded. Yet I still do get offended in the least by the use of this word.
grimaced? really faggot? go fucking kill yourself douchebag.
You can tell Rogan caught himself when he was saying it. His voice tapered off, going quieter and mumbling at the end of it.
Goldberg and Rogan made a lot of mistakes that night! They were both really off!
I've done this exact thing (calling myself retarded for a dumb mistake) while working for a sandwich shop, the manager acted offended and I was oblivious, it was normal to me.
I've also done this with the phrase "getting Jew'd" when I was younger.
Another one is "getting raped" in some context of competition, being dominated, ect.
I understand both sides, it is ignorant to use foul and/or offensive language like this, and sometimes we develop these habits early without much thought or concern for what we're saying.
On the flip side I think people need to use common sense at all times and if there is clearly no malacious intent there shouldn't be an issue, or people over reacting as if they're offended. We need to stop letting words be magical where they can control our emotions, thoughts, actions, ect.
Prime example is the "c" word for women, this is notorious for giving any women the right to go bat sh*t crazy in 1 second flat. The "n" word probably being a fairly close second. People are rarely as offended as they pretend to be, and more often just wanted an excuse or rather jumped at the chance to be offended, and engage in a dispute. And even if we are truly offended, again, I believe it goes back to common sense, if they didn't mean harm, you shouldn't be mad at them, and in general, even if they did intend harm, its a word, choose not to let it dictate your state, emotionally, mentally, or physically, be the "bigger man".
My son is retarded. I am not offended in the least by that word, or anybody's use of it. I say it all the fucking time. People need to get over this stupid bullshit sensitivity. America continues to pussify itself with these dirt bags who cry over a words.
the writer of this article is the type of bitches holding society back. The Al Sharpton of the retards.
Whoever wrote this article slipped up twice when they had plenty of time to think and proofread and check the facts. Joe Rogan did not interview Uriah Faber on "National Television". It was a PPV broadcast.
Watching people get bloody battered. .arms and face bashed in..that don't offend you ?? But the word retard does?? You are completely ass backward..and should start watching figure skating..you ain't no business kicking with the big boys..Mr Rogan proceed.
From what I heard the term for those who are mentally handicapped is developmentally disabled. When the movie Tropic Thunder came out there were folks who protested the movie because of the use of the word. Does Joe Rogan have a disdain for those who are disabled? I don't think so.
Does no one remember the retard strength rant he did? Joe Rogan is the man
these stupid ass articles are really getting old, every damn thing someone says doesent have to be a newspaper headline, who gives a shit what rogan or anyone else on the roster says
this is the dumbest shit ive ever seen. who cares
I don't think its a big deal. I know this skinny guy that calls himself skinny and this blond girl that calls herself blondie.
Self realization is ok.
soon as he said it i knew the vultures would circle…..this country is full of P words! that's Pussy for all you sensitive types.
The author here is very dumb. (retarded)
If you're offended by a word that wasn't used in an offensive or insulting manor towards another person then you really have issues.
Let parents spank kids, let schools bring back caning. Seriously, the latest generations are whimpering, moaning pussies since they stopped getting a good beating.
Rogan got it wrong-he's a fucktard, not a retard
the only people offended by this are the frigging liberals, get over it and look up the defination of the word retarded!!
Its no big deal and no, im not inconsiderate of others, specially the mentally challenged and I assure you, neither is Joe Rogan. Im certain he is compassionate towards them…his comment had nothing to do with them and it was a figure of speech. People need something else to do, they have nothing so they stoop so low for anything to write and complain about. Joe Rogan is a staple in UFC and a huge part of its success..it wouldnt be the same w/out him. People shut up!!

How retarded do you have to be, to get offended by this? Better let them use those "strong" words to express their feelings. Otherwise it will end like the german commentating where you get fired if you even scream after a goal, or something simular
we cant imply retards are stupid, and we cant imply retards are retards? lol why do i follow this site? Such satire!
People really dont have anything better to do but to make a big deal out of nothing. Retards….

Barack Obama has no imperfection or shortcoming that can't be glossed over by liberal pundits. The latest gloss: he has no Jewish problem and all this "guilt by association" is terribly imprecise and unfair.
You see, Obama is not responsible for Reverend Wright or Tony McPeak. But what about Samantha Power, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and Robert Malley? Isn't it reasonable to ask "Why does Barack Obama have so many foreign policy and national security advisers whose statements about Israel and American Jews are problematic? " Apparently we should not hold him responsible for selecting these individuals, nor attribute any of their views to him. And we shouldn't be bothered either, I suppose, by his own comment that "nobody is suffering more than the Palestinian people."
The evidence that none of this matters? A Gallup poll showing Obama and Clinton splitting the Jewish vote. Others have pointed out that this does not tell us whether Jewish general election voters, given the choice between John McCain and Obama, will stick with the latter.
While it is correct that Jewish voters have favored Democrats in presidential elections, the GOP share of the Jewish vote has risen steadily. Will American Jews stick by a Democratic candidate who surrounds himself with the type of advisors Obama has, who feels unable to reject his pastor even after vile anti-Semitic remarks become known (and still insists his remarks are no big deal, apparently because the really objectionable ones only number "five or six"), and whose foreign policy embraces the notion of meeting with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? We'll get a hint with the primary in Pennsylvania, a state with a significant number of Jewish voters (5% in the hotly contested 2006 Senate race).
But everything is fine, perfectly fine, say the liberal media Obamaphiles. (And the Italian vote isn't a problem, either.)

I use this instead of regular organic cane sugar in my coffee because regular sugar makes me crash. I guess it's a hormone problem. This has a lower glycemic index than regular sugar, so if you have blood sugar problems, this won't spike you like regular sugar does. I like it, and i-herb is cheaper than the local health food store.

Not as sweet as honey
Posted by Reviewer2131791 on Sep 14, 2010
I have enjoyed using palm sugar in my coffee. Used some in pancake batter as well. I am hopeful to use it a in place of sugar or honey because of the mineral and B vitamin content.

This is an amazing form of sugar with almost a caramel flavor.
I would think it would be good for candy-making, but haven't tried it yet.
Must have for me!

My first reaction when one of my followers on Instagram told me about black bean brownies was something along the lines of: what? You can put beans in a brownie?? Once I let that thought kind of sink in, I was intrigued. I searched around a bit online and sure enough, black bean brownies was a thing. Seemed legit enough, so I got straight to it and started cooking up some black beans.
After that I just mixed some dates for sweetness, vanilla essence, cacao powder and a few tablespoons of peanut butter before popped it in the oven. I tried not to get my hopes up since I had a creeping suspicion that you would be able to taste the beans. I mean, it does seem a little bit too good to be true that you can make delicious fudge brownies that is also perfectly nutritionally balanced. One bite was all it took to win me over. In order to be completely sure that the beans were unnoticeable, I served it to my family as if they were just the regular brownies I usually make. I let them devour the entire thing before asking them whether they could guess the secret ingredient or not. My little sister asked if it was potatoes or rice (those ideas were certainly… umh, out of the box!). My parents were clueless. I dramatically revealed that it was in fact black beans. The response? "shut. the. front. door."
Victory. *insert my trademark evil smirk*
Ingredients, makes 8 x 8 inch pan:
- 3 cups cooked black beans (or drained and rinsed canned beans)
- 2-3 cups dates, pitted *
- 1/2 cup high-quality unsweetened cacao powder
- 2 tbsp all-natural peanut butter (or almond butter if you dislike peanuts)
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- 1/2 tsp maldon salt
- Raspberries or other berries, for garnish
Optional add-ins:
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1. Preheat oven to 100 degrees Celsius/215 degrees Fahrenheit. Start by processing together the dates, vanilla and nut butter in a food processor (or high-speed blender) until you have a creamy paste. Add in the black beans as well, and continue until properly combined. You want this to get as smooth as possible without having to add any liquid. If you find that this is outright impossible, you can add up to 2 tbsp of water to make it easier. Scoop this into a bowl. Like you can see from the picture below, the dough should not be too sticky! If it is, you added in too much water. Do not panic though instead just follow the remaining steps, reading the last one thoroughly.
2. Add in the remaining ingredients into the bowl and knead it together using your hands in order to get it completely mixed. Now is the time to add in any add-ins if you wish (it tastes amazing plain as well!).
3. Grab a relatively small baking pan and line it with parchment. Dust the bottom of the pan with a bit of cacao powder before spreading in the batter. Press it down firmly using your palms and place the pan in the oven. It should bake for about 1 1/2 hours, or until it has a nice baked surface (see picture below). It will still be a bit "fudgy" though, which is why you have to allow it to cool completely before slicing into small squares. If you added too much water you might need to store it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to let the cake firm up more. It will not affect the taste. Garnish with a fresh berries and enjoy!.
Additional notes (*):
- I made two batches of this, one using 2 cups of dates and another using 3 cups. Personally I preferred the one using less dates, because it was less sweet and had a richer and fuller taste. Both my parents agreed with this. My little sister (who has more of a sweet tooth) preferred the latter version. Therefore I will leave it to you to decide how much you want to use depending on your preferences.
Enjoy and have a wonderful Easter!

GIF by Truth About It
I remember the feeling the day of the lottery, it was May 18th 2010 and the Washington Wizards won one of the biggest prizes in sports, the #1 pick in the NBA lottery. I sat in my chair with an enormous smile on my face; it was a no-brainer the Wizards were going to get John Wall.
The Wizards were going to begin the process of being relevant again.
He had not even taken a shot in the NBA, yet the stage was set. John had the weight and expectations of the most impatient city in sports on his shoulders.
Wall came out early and dominated Summer League, averaging 23.5 points, 7.8 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 2.5 steals in just over 32 minutes per game. Wall set his expectations high instantly.
He finished his first season averaging over 16 points per game and over 8 assists per game. And he probably would have gotten rookie of the year if it was not for 2nd year rookie Blake Griffin.
The next season was more of the same; John played in 69 games and literally had the exact same statistical line. The Wizards even seemed to surprise a lot of people by unloading garbage players such as Nick Young, JaVale McGee, and Ronny Turiaf for Nene in a 3-team trade involving the Denver Nuggets and L.A. Clippers.
So the result of those key injuries is what we are currently watching: Beal is struggling to adjust to the NBA, there is no rhythm on offense, and the Wizards are a national laughing stock being the only team left in the NBA without a win and have no upcoming games on the schedule where they have a chance to change that.
So I am left with a very different feeling then the one I began with, a feeling that has become all to familiar to D.C. sports fans.

We care about you and your loved ones in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania; the good news is that you have identified that there is a drug or alcohol abuse problem, and are now looking for a positive solution. We will help you to assess the seriousness of your drug or alcohol abuse problem and to locate the Mount Pleasant Alcohol Treatment or Drug Rehabilitation Facility that will best be suited to your individual needs.
The different types of drug treatment in Mount Pleasant, PA. can include holistic drug and alcohol rehabilitation, Short-term Drug Rehab Centers, Long-term Drug Rehabilitation Programs, Outpatient Drug Rehab Centers, Inpatient Drug Rehabilitation Facilities, partial hospitalization, and sober living just to name a few. The type of Drug Treatment or Alcohol Rehab Center that is needed will depend upon the degree of dependence, the individual's social situation, and the kind of substance which they have become addicted to.
The ultimate goal of all Alcohol Rehab or Drug Rehabilitation Centers should be to enable the individual from Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania to achieve lasting abstinence. Much research has indicated that in order for drug and alcohol addiction treatment to be effective, it must teach the individual how to change to their compulsive behaviors in order to remove the addiction and to be able to avoid a possible relapse. Overall, Alcohol Rehab or Drug Rehabilitation Facilities need to address both the physical and psychological dependency of an addiction; the behavioral and social symptoms also need to be adequately addressed before an individual from Mount Pleasant can have the tools that they will need to help sustain that recovery for the remainder of his or her life.
Drug detox is the first step in the Mount Pleasant, PA. rehabilitation treatment process toward recovery from a drug and alcohol addiction. The main goal in this component of the Mount Pleasant Alcohol Treatment or Drug Rehabilitation Program is to rid the body of toxins that accumulate over the course of a long term drug or alcohol addiction. It is very common to see individuals from Mount Pleasant, PA. in drug detox that has combined different drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, or pain pills with alcohol.
When an individual from Mount Pleasant has sustained the use of any of these various kinds of drugs, it causes adaptations within their body that lessen the drug's original effects over time; this is a phenomenon that is known as drug tolerance. At this point, the individual from Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania has developed a physical dependency on the substance and withdrawal symptoms will be experienced upon discontinuation. The reason that it is imperative that an individual from Mount Pleasant have professional supervision during the detox process is because the staff at a Drug Rehabilitation or Alcohol Treatment Center can help to make this process much easier by administering elements of treatment that can help to alleviate some of the painful withdrawal symptoms.
Once the early stages of withdrawal have passed, an individual from Mount Pleasant will then be able to begin a directed, Drug Rehab or Alcohol Treatment Facility that will begin to address aspects of the psychological dependency by teaching behavioral skills that will help them to function without the use of alcohol or drugs. This component in drug recovery treatment will usually involve some type of individual or group counseling. There may also be occupational and behavioral therapies that are utilized as components of treatment in order to help to teach the individual from Mount Pleasant, PA. life and social skills that may have been lost while they were under the influence of addiction.
Before an addict is finally willing to surrender to the Alcohol Rehabilitation or Drug Treatment Facility process, they may have already made repeated promises to their loved ones in Mount Pleasant who have been experiencing the negative effects from the individual's drug or alcohol abuse; because of the way that these substances chemically alter the person's brain, these empty promises cannot be fulfilled. If loved ones in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania continue to believe these empty promises, it could possible mean that the addicted person will then have time to overdose on drugs or have a serious car accident while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
In an Alcohol Rehab or Drug Rehabilitation Program, the individual from Mount Pleasant will become educated about the ways that drugs and alcohol affect the various functions of the brain; they will learn that it was these physiological changes that made it almost impossible for them to stop using on their own, and not personal integrity. As an individual from Mount Pleasant, PA. learns more about how to deal with drug triggers and as they master to the tools that they will need to use in order to stay sober when they return home to Mount Pleasant, they will become confident in their ability to do so.
Getting Help
Because we will hold your hand and guide you through this process, getting help is easy - just dial toll free 1-888-560-5563; you can speak to a registered addiction specialist or just fill out the Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania Drug Treatment or Alcohol Rehabilitation Center request form and we will contact you at the soonest available opportunity.

Cartmell? You're one of his students? Dempsey, you're a lucky man. I didn't know he was playing BJJ now, but seeing as he was a bagua man, I guess it's not a huge leap to take.
Olddog, Ronin, diejie1, Dempsey's not nut-riding. Tim Cartmell is the real deal. I'd jump at the chance to get with him for any kind of training.
I'm more of an indirect student. I live in El Paso but myself and a few other people try to bring him out to teach a few times a year. He doesn't really do any form of CMA anymore just jiu-jitsu. He's maintained some of the drills from bagua but that's about it. I think he only teaches cma as private lessons and seminars but his focus is on BJJ.

Style: BJJ--Originally Posted by D Dempsey
Most classes involve some type of "stand up" session before working on pure BJJ.
I am not an expert in any way shape or form but training with Tim is great. Beyond being very hands on and technical in the way he runs his school, Tim is a wealth of knowledge who rolls with all students at the end of every class.

Long before music television filled the airwaves, the WTTW series Soundstage sparked the nation. In an impressive run from 1974-1985, this innovative and prestigious program achieved widespread critical acclaim and featured the artists that defined the era, including such luminaries as Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Bonnie Raitt, Al Green, the Doobie Brothers, Harry Chapin, Dionne Warwick, the Temptations and Kenny Loggins.
For all those who loved the original series, Soundstage was reborn in 2001 thanks to a new partnership between WTTW National Productions and HD Ready, LLC. Director (and founder of HD Ready) Joe Thomas' vision was to combine the one-hour musical performances of the original show with state-of-the-art high definition video equipment and innovative Dolby 5.1 audio.
The majority of the concerts are filmed before intimate studio audiences at WTTW's Grainger Studio in Chicago, but Soundstage occasionally hits the road. In previous seasons we've taped at Red Rocks in Colorado; the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas; the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet, Illinois; the Genesee Theater in Waukegan, Illinois; the Frederick P. Rose Hall, Home of Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City; the Rosemont Theatre in Rosemont, IL; Tsongas Arena in Lowell, Massachusetts; the Fleet Center in Boston; the Germain Amphitheater in Columbus, Ohio and Madison Square Garden in New York City among others.
Since Soundstage has been reintroduced, performers have included the Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Joss Stone, Robert Plant, Wilco, Sonic Youth, the All American Rejects, KT Tunstall, Train, Alison Krauss, Alanis Morissette, Daughtry, John Fogerty and countless more of today's premiere artists.

Elections answer more questions than just who gets to slap their name on all sorts of government projects and ride in the plane.
For instance, just from today's iteration of the blessedly winnowing news cycle between now and polls closing, will Mitt Romney's 11th-hour announcement that he'll hit the Cleveland and Pittsburgh markets pay off? How many votes is New Jersey native Bruce Springsteen worth in Wisconsin? And will reports of Republican state officials playing fast and loose with polling places cause enough outrage that folks who otherwise wouldn't vote might actually do so?
More broadly, one of the two parties is set to spiral off into the presidential wilderness. A Romney loss would, according to party insiders, wrench the GOP apart as it attempts to reconcile its more conservative and pragmatic wings. If President Obama proves to be more Jimmy Carter than Bill Clinton, Democrats will reel as the transcendent figure to whom many pinned their hopes in 2008 folds his tent as one who tried but couldn't go all the way.
And, no matter who wins, a lot of pollsters are going to be spending a lot of time explaining flawed analyses. Much of the country is about to learn why they have been suffering from confirmation bias.
Particularly in a campaign whose result the day before the election defies confident forecasting, the anxiety for answers runs high. In short, the campaign chatter is about to move from predictive analysis to post-mortem very quickly.
-- Jim O'Sullivan
Obama, Romney Blitz Battleground States
[ABC News, 11/5/12] Obama is hitting urban centers in Wisconsin, Ohio and Iowa, with Bruce Springsteen and Jay-Z tagging along for the ride. Meanwhile, Romney is hopping from Florida to Ohio, to Virginia, and to the finish in New Hampshire.
In Tampa, Fla., Some Worried Voters Show up Early NEW!
[Los Angeles Times, 11/5/12] After early voting in Florida closed Saturday, five counties began handing out absentee ballots as an alternative. The move is expected to help Obama (the Republican legislature has cut the number of early voting days from 14 to eight).
Secret Money Funds GOP Door-Knockers NEW!
[Politico, 11/5/12] Conservative volunteers who used to work for free are now make hourly wages, thanks to the infusion of secret political money made possible by Citizens United. The funding may have helped Romney even the playing field on the ground, where Obama is believed to have the advantage.
The Looming GOP Civil War – Whether Mitt Wins or Not
[Politico, 11/5/12] The GOP is made up of a shrinking population of older white men while Democrats rely on an ascendant bloc of minorities, moderate women and young people. The GOP must confront this demographic crisis, but Republicans are divided on the way forward.
Romney to Campaign in Pa., Ohio, on Election Day
[Boston Globe, 11/5/12] Romney's added stops in Pittsburgh and Cleveland on Tuesday before his election night rally in Boston. Obama's final campaign stop will come in Des Moines Monday night, and he will hold his election night rally in Chicago.
All Eyes on Ohio on Election Eve
[Los Angeles Times, 11/5/12] Once again, the focus turns to the Buckeye State, which could prove determinative on Tuesday.
Both Campaigns Rely on Ground Game
[Columbus Dispatch, 11/5/12] Millions of Ohioans have reached a breaking point, the Dispatch reports. But that doesn't mean the campaigns aren't still going full tilt.
Watchdog: 'Beginning to Look Like a Messy Election'
[Philadelphia Inquirer, 11/5/12] In Philadelphia, reports of election-tampering are already starting to pour in, with voters being told falsely that party-line ballots would be invalidated and that their polling places have moved. The city will have a team of lawyers and detectives on call Tuesday to try to ensure a clean election.
Obama, Ryan Stump in Wis. On Eve of Election
[AP, 11/5/12] President Obama campaigned with Bruce Springsteen in Madison today, drawing a crowd of 18,000. Retiring Sen. Herb Kohl and Democratic Rep. Tammy Baldwin, who is running to replace him, also spoke at the rally.
Whoever Wins, North Carolina and Virginia Battlegrounds Here to Stay
[National Journal, 11/5/12] Obama's 2008 win in North Carolina and Virginia opened a new era of competitive politics in the once-deep-red South and represented a milestone in the states' racially-fraught histories. Four years later, the states are still battlegrounds.
This Election Unlikely to Produce a Mandate
[National Journal, 11/5/12] A true mandate election is one in which the political community – members of Congress, pundits, Washington insiders – all agree that the voters have called for change in a specific direction. But short of a miracle, this election isn't going to confer one on either Obama or Romney.
Past Is Prologue in Presidential Race's Closing Arguments
[Time, 11/5/12] In the final days of the campaign, Mitt Romney has borrowed President Obama's old "change" mantra, while Obama has borrowed former President George W. Bush's "you know what I believe, you know where I stand" mantra.
Sandy's Winds of Uncertainty Blow Through Presidential Race
[Reuters, 11/5/12] Experts say low turnout and last-minute changes due to superstorm Sandy could expose flaws in how the country conducts elections, leading to protracted legal wrangling and lingering bitterness in a nation already fractured along partisan lines.
A Pre-Mortem for the Romney Campaign
[The Atlantic, 11/5/12] UC San Diego Political Science Professor Samuel Popkin writes that Hurricane Sandy and the first debate were overblown moments, and that it was early mistakes by the Romney campaign -- namely veering too far right -- that set him up for failure. Meanwhile Politico has their own pre-mortems for both Romney and Obama.
Colorado County Clerks Ready for Scrutiny, Long Night for Election
[Denver Post, 11/5/12] As the presidential race comes down to the wire in battleground Colorado, county clerks charged with counting voters' precious ballots have contingency plans for Election Day and Night. Some are bringing in last-minute temporary workers, while others will staff all-night shifts.
The Dangers of Close Elections
[The Foundry, 11/5/12] Photo I.D. trailblazer Hans von Spakovsky writes that he's hoping for a decisive victory by either candidate and warns that provisional ballots – which number in the hundreds of thousands in some states – could be a flashpoint of contention, post-election.
Five Things That Could Go Wrong in Florida
[Tampa Bay Times, 11/5/12] With polls indicating a tight race, the slightest glitch could be memorialized as this campaign's hanging chad. From rejected provisional ballots to redistricting confusion, here are five local issues that could grab the national spotlight.

My first foreign language is English and I speak it fluently. I also speak Swedish, that happens to be my second foreign language and I know at least some basics of Swedish by now. I think that by knowing Swedish, I can understand Norwegian language since they're mutually intelligible languages. And most Norwegian people know what I'm trying to tell to them if they want to. Or that's what I've been told. ;)

Teen Mom
Chelsea Houska Talks Pregnancy — Would She Have Kept Adam's Baby?
We couldn't believe our eyes when Teen Mom 2's Chelsea Houska revealed that she had unprotected sex with her baby daddy, Adam Lind! This gal knows better than anyone that going un-pro can lead to an accidental pregnancy, and the poor thing thought she might be baking another Adam bun in her lady oven! Luckily, Chelsea dodged the baby mama bullet and got her period, but what would she have done in the event that she got pregnant for round two?
"I would have kept it, obviously," Chelsea tells Teen Mom's Maci Bookout during MTV's after show. "But I mean, it would have been bad. I honestly don't know exactly what I would have done."
Chelsea says she wants more kiddos in the future, but girlfriend hopes to wait until she's out of school and has a ring on her finger. "I definitely definitely want more kids, when I'm older and settled down and married," she explains. "But for sure I want more kids someday."
Chelsea already has an adorable daughter named Aubree, who's more than ready to be a big sis! "I think she would think it was fun," Chelsea says. "She loves other kids, she has cousins and stuff that she loves to play with."
Looks like Chelsea is ready to be a mom again … she just needs to find her Mr. Right!

Natural History
Sea cucumbers are soft-bodied and live at all ocean depths, from the shallows to the abyss.
Most sea cucumbers move slowly by using their tiny tube feet, but some also have a faster escape response—they swim by flexing their bodies and inching along the seafloor.
As a deep sea cucumber crawls across the seafloor, mud and tiny pieces of fallen food cling to its sticky tentacles. The cucumber stuffs those coated tentacles into its mouth and cleans them off—devouring the muddy mixture and digesting the edible scraps.
Anything that finds its way into the ocean, whether it's tossed away as trash, washes off a beach or falls off a boat, may eventually make its way to the deep sea. It's important to realize that the deep sea is not so far away that it's beyond the reach of human activities. Living creatures in the deep are affected by what we do at the surface.
Cool Facts
Like other sea cucumbers, the Johnson's sea cucumber can shed its internal organs (eviscerate) when attacked by a predator. The sticky organs may entangle and distract the predator, and may provide a meal while the cucumber escapes. The shed organs soon grow back.
