Many floats are recycled, donated to samba schools or sold. During this transition of dismantling, recycling and donation that lasts on average 15 days after the end of the carnival, the parking lot with cars and allegories becomes a great samba cemetery.

Progesterone, a female hormone that can be used as a therapy for endometrial cancer, eliminates tumor cells indirectly by binding to its receptor in stromal or connective tissue cells residing in the tumor microenvironment, according to a study from the G.O. Discovery Lab team and collaborators at UCLA.
Like tumors of the breast and prostate, endometrial cancer is regulated by hormones. Unlike therapies for breast and prostate cancer, where drugs are given to block hormone signaling, in therapy for endometrial cancer progesterone is given to stimulate its hormone receptor. Although it has been used for several decades, no one really knew the mechanisms and site of action for progesterone therapy. Doctors know that a certain subsets of patients will benefit from treatment with progesterone. However, doctors prescribing the hormone therapy are shooting in the dark because they don't know in advance which patients will respond and which women may have resistant tumors, said study senior author and Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center member Dr. Sanaz Memarzadeh, an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology and director of the G.O. Discovery Lab at UCLA. Therefore, while progesterone can be effective as a therapy in endometrial cancer, its use is not widely embraced in clinical practice.
"When viewing tumors under the microscope clinicians often focus on the cancer cells and neglect the supporting stroma in the microenvironment," said Memarzadeh, who also is a researcher at the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research. "In this study we found that all of the progesterone anti-tumor effects are in fact mediated through the stroma even though it makes up a minor fraction of the tumor. I believe these exciting findings are going to surprise the clinical community and change the way people look at patterns of hormone receptor expression in endometrial tumors."
The results of the three-year study, done using a specially developed laboratory model created by Memarzadeh's team that closely mimics human endometrial cancer, appear in the early online edition of Cancer Research, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.
Memarzadeh and her team showed that if you delete the progesterone receptors in the stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment, progesterone therapy will not work. However, in a model of hormone resistant endometrial cancer, the tumor cells became sensitive to hormone therapy when the progesterone receptors are returned to the adjacent cells in the microenvironment.
"We were really surprised to find that when we added back the progesterone receptor to the microenvironment, tumors that before did not respond to the treatment simply melted away," said study first author Deanna Janzen, a senior research associate in the G.O. Discovery Lab. "Making one genetic change in the tumor microenvironment, deleting or adding back the progesterone receptor, completely changed the biology of the tumor. That was a striking finding."
Going forward, Memarzadeh and her team will translate this work into studies of human samples of endometrial cancer to see if their findings apply to patients. They hope to discover biomarkers that indicate response or resistance to hormone therapy. They also plan to find and test drugs that can reverse progesterone resistance, making cells sensitive to hormone therapy. This approach will provide a potential combination therapy that could prove effective for women with disseminated endometrial cancer.
Currently, the most common treatment for early stage endometrial cancer is hysterectomy, followed by radiation and or chemotherapy. Doctors may prescribe progesterone to endometrial cancer patients who are seeking to preserve their fertility not knowing whether it will be effective, so finding biomarkers that indicate response would provide clinicians with a valuable tool, Memarzadeh said.
Endometrial cancer, which starts in the endometrium or the inner lining of the uterus, is the most common gynecologic cancer in the United States. About 49,000 new cases of endometrial cancer will be diagnosed this year alone, and about 8,000 American women will die from their cancers. The chance of a woman being diagnosed with this cancer in her lifetime is about 1 in 38, according to the American Cancer Society.
"This finding may have critical clinical implications as it demonstrates that modulation of the tumor microenvironment can reverse hormone resistance in endometrial tumors," the study states. "In future work, we will test if stromal specific delivery of DNA methyltransferase inhibitors may be an effective way to re-sensitize hormone refractory endometrial cancers to progesterone therapy."
Ultimately, researchers hope to develop a simple test so that, after biopsy and analysis of an endometrial tumor, physicians will be able to figure out whether or not their patient is a good candidate for hormonal therapy.
The study was funded by the Veterans Administration Greater Los Angeles Health Care System, Scholars in Translational Medicine Program, Mary Kay Award, a Charles Drew University/UCLA National Institutes of Health grant (U54-CA-143931), a Sidney Kimmel Foundation award, the Concern Foundation and an UCLA Cancer Research Coordinating Committee grant.
The Jonsson Cancer Center Foundation, founded in 1945, is the single most important vehicle for raising private funds for cancer research at UCLA. Through activities such as Taste for a Cure and Lifeline Connection, the foundation supports high-priority cancer research efforts aimed at translating laboratory discoveries into more effective and less toxic therapies for cancer patients. UCLA's JCCC has more than 240 researchers and clinicians who are internationally renowned for finding new and better ways to prevent, detect and treat cancer.

|in REALLY bad weather
Date Climbed: Jul 7, 2014
|Shawn and I endured rain every single day of the trip up Noname and down Ruby for the centennials there, but this day was the worst - and on the toughest peak. It was storming on every inch of sky on the descent. Lightning struck up on the summit ridge as we were descending the north side. The climbing was easier than I expected (and the south side portion was shorter than expected), but we still used rope more than most people would - especially given the rotten snow in the gully cross-over.

|This peak was the centerpiece of our 8 day Weminuche trip. Climbed from Sunlight Creek, which was a wonderful place, and headed up via the Jagged-PT 12890 saddle to the base of the route. The bottom was wet and we got off route on some 5.4/5 terrain early. The upper route was more straight forward to find, but still complicated and time consuming. The cruxes were harder than I expected and definitely would recommend a rope be carried. Spectacular finish on the south side, great peak and very rewarding. #99 of 100 for me, looking forward to finishing on RGP in a month...

|Great peak, but maybe a bit overhyped?
Date Climbed: Jul 16, 2009
|This was definately a cool climb, but I have to admit I was just slightly let down after all the hype I've heard about it. The approach is grueling, but the area has a cool feel to it - we saw nobody in the six days we were there. The exposure on the climb was consistently significant and kept me on my toes. I don't however agree with Roach's comment about it being the best route in his 13er book - Vestal's Wham ridge comes to mind immediately, probably a few others as well. Regardless, a very worthwhile and memorable climb.

Seth Cohen is proud of the business-like fashion that his client conducted himself in during arguably the most important stretch of basketball in his young life.
Now that Ricky Ledo's vagabond pre-draft tour of NBA cities has come to an end, the Providence native and former Providence College redshirt product can earnestly set his sights on an event that's been on his radar screen for quite some time – the 2013 NBA Draft. Come Thursday night, Ledo will be seated inside Brooklyn's Barclays Center, hoping that the long and sometimes winding road he's traveled results in a chance to apply a crease to the cap of the team that calls his name.
"We're excited about Ricky's future in the league," said Cohen upon being reached earlier this week. "He's met every challenge head on and he's a real warrior. Ricky traveled across the country and I venture to say that he had more workouts than anyone in the draft.
"It's been a busy six weeks," the agent for Ledo continued. "Let the chips fall where they may on Thursday."
Ledo ended up working out for 17 NBA clubs, the list including the Boston Celtics. Asked if such a high total provides a paper trail that could ultimately lead to a first-round selection, Cohen answered, "Ricky is the most intriguing kid in the draft because of the fact that he had no college film."
The feedback Cohen has received on Ledo's behalf was "great" and only heightens the anticipation that the next chapter of his hoops odyssey will be written come Thursday.
"He has great offensive talent and his upside potential is tremendous," said Cohen about the refrain that has served as Ledo's calling card throughout this entire "show us what you can do" process.
Asked if there's a contingency plan in place in the event Ledo is not one of the 60 players selected during the NBA's annual two-round amateur event, Cohen responded, "We have a plan, but we're very optimistic going into Thursday."
ESPN.com's draft tracker has Ledo listed as a 6-foot-6, 197-pound shooting guard. In two separate mock drafts posted on cbssports.com, one has Ledo going to the Indiana Pacers with the 23rd overall pick while the second has Oklahoma City taking him at No. 29.
In one regard, the selection of Val Ackerman as commissioner of the newly revamped Big East Conference makes perfect sense. Ackerman was on the ground floor when the WNBA sprung into existence in the late 90s, the New Jersey native serving as league president for eight years. Her start-up experience figures to serve as a valuable asset to what PC President Rev. Brian J. Shanley refers to as a "rebooted Big East."
Ackerman was formally introduced Wednesday as the conference's new leader. During a conference call that included herself, Shanley and Georgetown President John J. DeGioia, Ackerman made it clear that a 10-team league that includes Big East holdovers Providence, DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, St. John's, Villanova and Seton Hall coupled with new members Butler, Creighton and Xavier is perfect numbers-wise for the time being.
"Right now we love 10. We have no immediate plans to go beyond that," Ackerman stated. "Expansion is not on our radar."
The 53-year-old Ackerman plans to visit each member school in to order to establish relationships with the appropriate people. Besides building a staff, there's also the task of completing the schedules for the winter teams. Ackermen mentioned that Dan Beebe, who served as a consultant during the search to find a commissioner, was able to take care of the fall sports' schedules.
Ackerman's vast expertise in the basketball arena runs deep and includes posts with the NBA and USA Basketball. She has most recently served as a consultant to the NCAA, for which she completed a comprehensive analysis on the state of women's college basketball. The University of Virginia graduate is also an adjunct professor at Columbia University.
"Val's résumé speaks for itself. She has a passion for the game of basketball that would do Dave Gavitt proud," Shanley pointed out. "She is exactly what the Big East needs. She embodies the highest personal and professional values of the sports industry, and is a hard-charging and innovative leader who can shepherd the conference to continued success."

ST. GEORGE - Waino Victor "Bud" Mackey passed away on Saturday, Dec. 13, 2008, in St. George.
He was born on May 17, 1922 in Clear Creek, Carbon County, to Finnish immigrants Victor and Aleksantra Mackey.
He grew up in Clear Creek and Scofield. He was nicknamed Bud by his sister, Sue. He graduated in 1940 from Wasatch Academy in Mt. Pleasant. He received an associate degree in accounting from LaSalle University.
On May 6, 1951, he married Karma Kofford in Las Vegas, Nev., a marriage that was warm and wonderful for them both.
He was a member of the Lutheran Church.
He was a master mason of the York Rite of Freemasonry Price Carbon Lodge 16 for more than 50 years.
He worked in the Clear Creek mine for five years. He worked for Kraync Motor Co. in Price for over 40 years, starting as a parts man and later as office manager. He retired Sept. 1, 1986 and moved to Roy to be near his daughter and grandchildren.
Bud and Karma spent many happy years traveling to almost every state in the U.S., including Hawaii and Alaska. They traveled to the east coast and twice to the west coast of Canada, including the Canadian Rockies. They also took two cruises as well as two trips to Europe. Bud and his daughter, Jeanie, traveled to Finland to the ancestral homes of his parents.
They enjoyed their seven and one-half years in Roy as much as they had in Price. They played bridge with friends, walked every day and took short automobile trips in the western states.
In 1994, they moved to Cedar City to be near their daughter and family. In 2001, they moved to St. George.
He built our home in Price, which was a labor of love for his family. After his son was old enough, he started to fish with him as well as ice skate on Scofield Reservoir.
Father and son would talk for hours about current events and politics. He thought that his son-in-law could make or repair anything. He loved his grandchildren. Daily, he expressed his love to Karma. He was proud of his family and of his Finnish heritage.
Survivors include his wife, Karma; his daughter, Addie Jean "Jeanie" (Charles) Bentley of St. George and Scofield; and his son, Michael Victor Mackey of Denver, Colo. Also surviving are two beloved grandchildren, Kim Marie Ducote (C.J.) of St. George and Christopher Charles Bentley of Sandy; and two great grandsons, Joseph Sage Ducote and Dominic Charles Ducote. He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Neelo; and sisters, Sue Kraync, Sylvia House, Selma Mullins and Lily Reese.
Viewing was Wednesday, Dec. 17, at Spilsbury Mortuary, St. George. Graveside services were conducted by Carbon Masonic Lodge 16 on Dec. 19 in the Price City Cemetery.
Friends and family are invited to offer condolences at www.spilsburymortuary.com.
His family expresses their heart filled gratitude to the staffs of Rocky Mountain Hospice, Ridge View Gardens Assisted Living and Kolob Care Center, who helped our family care for our husband, father and grandfather during his last year of life.
Hyva ilta Isa - Jeanie and Mike.
Mina Rakastua Sinua - Karma.

OGDENSBURG A proposal for the state to turn over 160 vacant acres of land at the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center to the city for development could also see the creation of a revolving fund to spur economic growth and possibly restore some of the historic, empty buildings at the facility.
The plan was initiated by state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton. Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, has pledged to co-sponsor companion legislation.
Ogdensburg City Manager John M. Pinkerton said the fund, which is still in a conceptual phase, would ultimately be managed by City Council. Start-up capital could come from selling some of the land once the state turns it over to the city.
In particular, Mr. Pinkerton said, a 45-acre wooded plot the city hopes to take over could be immediately capitalized if the city can find a business with a commercial interest in clearing the land.
This could give us some of the income to start that revolving fund, Mr. Pinkerton said.
The lot is at the intersection of 1 Correction Way and Woods Road.
If the city successfully gets the state to turn over the land which was designated as surplus by the state Office of Mental Health in 2011 Mr. Pinkerton said future investment could also come by selling off property to business and real estate investors.
A 45-acre parcel that runs along the north side of Route 37 would make an ideal business park, Mr. Pinkerton said, adding that it is already connected to city water, sewer and electrical service.
The Ag Energy LP cogeneration plant could be expanded to provide energy to the business park in the future, Mr. Pinkerton said, which could cut costs and attract businesses to Ogdensburg.
A 50-acre parcel that runs along the St. Lawrence River at Point Airy would make for prime waterfront real estate, Mr. Pinkerton said, with the potential to build dozens of homes with waterfront access and scenic views.
Eight homes are already on the land, Mr. Pinkerton said. He said it is the only waterfront property in the city that is both uncontaminated and undeveloped.
This is small potatoes for the state, but for us its potentially a huge benefit, Mr. Pinkerton said.
The proposal put forward by Mrs. Ritchie and Mrs. Russell would not see the city take over responsibility for any of the stone buildings on the point, many of which have been vacant for decades and are in varying states of decay.
Mr. Pinkerton said the city wouldnt be in a position to rehabilitate or demolish any of the buildings.
But with the revolving fund, Mr. Pinkerton said, the city hopes to be able to acquire some of the buildings down the road, either returning them to their former glory or tearing them down to make way for new growth.
When I was a kid this was a very dynamic place, Mr. Pinkerton said of Point Airy. It was vibrant; it was very alive.
Mr. Pinkerton said he hopes to see the point restored as a destination for north country residents and visitors.
While the state doesnt have a need for the land, Mr. Pinkerton said, the city has a stake in seeing the area developed.
There is a direct relationship between getting something done and seeing an impact [for the city], he said.
Legislation for the turnover of the property is expected to be introduced in the state Legislature this week.

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to determine rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among African American women who have sex with women (AAWSW). In addition, the study is interested in better understanding the types of risk behaviors that place AAWSW at risk for STIs. The investigators hypothesis is that AAWSW experience high rates of STIs, similar to heterosexual African American women. Knowledge gained from this study will guide development of interventions to reduce women's risk for these types of infections and will improve how AAWSW are screened for STIs.

AkzoNobel Hikes Capacity at Texas Facility, to Meet LED Demand
September 27, 2012 | Sotirios Frantzanas
AkzoNobel says it is investing to increase production capacity at its Battleground, TX, facility to meet growing demand from producers of light-emitting diodes (LED), to supply the semiconductor industry. The investment includes an extension of the site's trimethylaluminum (TMA) unit, and the construction of a new trimethylgallium (TMG) plant. The investment will make AkzoNobel's Battleground facility the largest of its type, the company says. TMAL is a precursor for TMG, a high-purity metal organic used in products such as LED wafer manufacturing, the...

Nite Lite Photo Of The Day~
May 23, 2012 3:02 PM
Located in Baltimore's historic Mt. Vernon, The Belvedere towers over the city with its grand elegance. Presidents, Royalty, and Hollywood's most famous stars have frequented The Belvedere earning it the status of "The Crown Jewel" of Baltimore…
The Belvedere first opened its revolving doors on December 10, 1903. Deriving its name from "Belvidere," the estate of John Eager Howard, Maryland's renowned Revolutionary War hero, The Belvedere became part of Baltimore's social, political and economic life. In 1911, Woodrow Wilson stayed there while attending the Democratic National Convention in Baltimore where he was nominated for President. This began the rich history of the grand Belvedere.

In the midsized city of Middletown, Ohio, 13-month-old Aidan J. Bidwell has progressed from crawling to walking to running, from babbling to speaking words and from formula to solid foods under the careful watch of his grandparents.
Thousands of miles away, his parents, Capt. John M. Bidwell Jr. and Capt. Marjana E. Bidwell, have been deployed in Afghanistan since January with the 10th Mountain Divisions 2nd Brigade Combat Team.
The two have kept up with their sons progress through phone calls, emails, video chats and a special Facebook page.
Knowing that Aidan is loved just as much as if we were there really helps me to stay focused on what I am doing out here, said Marjana Bidwell, an Albany native who does intelligence work in the 2nd Battalion, 14th Infantry Regiment.
John Bidwell, who does logistics work in the brigades headquarters, said the updates have allowed him to see things such as his sons first step, word and tooth.
Ive had many soldiers on previous tours tell me that the firsts are the things that they worry about missing, and I understand that now, he said.
The deployed Bidwells, who work out of separate forward operating bases, answered questions from the Times over multiple emails. The two have been married for about three and a half years, after meeting at Fort Hood, Texas.
Watching Aidan during the deployment are Capt. John Bidwells parents, John M. Bidwell Sr. and his wife, Shelley.
The couple, both in their early 60s, were asked by their son about raising Aidan days after his birth when they came to visit him for the first time, and they agreed to despite some initial concerns about having the energy to do so. The process of readying for deployment included transferring guardianship, finding a new pediatrician and creating a bank account to help with expenses.
Mrs. Bidwell, who has six children including John, acknowledged she and her husband were terrified the day their son and daughter-in-law left Aidan with them a few days after Christmas, and again from time to time, such as the day they had to take him to the hospital after he came down with the flu.
Its a lot different when its not your own, Mrs. Bidwell said. You dont want to let anybody down.
Marjana Bidwell said the biggest worry she had about the nine-month deployment was that her son would not remember her and her husband.
To remedy that, the Bidwells have made photos a big part of their grandsons life, placing several large photos around the room, and getting him into video chats.
The work appears to have had some success. When he is held up to a picture of his parents together before he goes to bed, Mrs. Bidwell said, Aidan now says Dada when he puts his hand on his fathers picture, and Mama when he reaches for a picture of his mother.
Marjana Bidwell said her son always smiles when he sees her face during video chats.
It melts my heart every time, she said.
However, since his arrival, Aidans development has been rapid.
Hes walking, hes running, hes talking, Mrs. Bidwell said. Hes much different from the baby that couldnt even roll over.
Mrs. Bidwell said her grandson has been popular when she goes out shopping or visits friends, calling him a little flirt.
She said she brags about Aidan when she talks to his parents about their return stateside in a few months.
You are going to be so in love with this baby, she remembered telling her son. Hes just so darling.
Though both of the Bidwells said they were looking forward to returning Aidan to his parents, they said his presence is making an impact.
He just really truly loves my wife and I ... part of the ordeal is going to be giving him back, Mr. Bidwell said. Part of it will be not seeing him every day.
Though official statistics were not immediately available about the number of married soldiers deployed to the same area at the same time, Army spokesman Lt. Col. Justin S. Platt said it was a fairly infrequent occurrence.
Of the 52,674 active-duty soldiers deployed overseas as of May 31, 25,759 have children.

Ottawa team digs in
On Monday, September 22nd Cam Atchison, the District Sales Manager for Ottawa, and his team joined me at a Volunteer Canada initiative in Ottawa to help create a community garden.
Over 100 volunteers from VC's Corporate Council showed up for the event which was a collaborative effort between Sustainable Living Ottawa East and Lady Evelyn Elementary School that was driven by the Grades 4/5/6 students. The children were the planners, workers and visionaries behind the entire project! Teams added value to the project by helping to complete some of the larger structural projects such as the installation of fencing, preparation of planting beds and building shade structures, with one student leading each volunteer group. Dirt was moved, posts and student-painted pickets were installed, sitting benches were built and walking paths were put down and our Molson team performed with their usual eagerness and good humour.
The students were appointed junior team leaders and were passionate about getting the job done to their expectations. Each one was delightful and so proud to take the leadership role in converting a small park into this amazing community garden. Several members living in the community also stopped by to personally thank us for helping out. The transition of the park in just three hours was remarkable.
Thanks Cam, Travis, Martin, Kyle, Shannon, Wayne, Grant, Jeremy and Chris! It was a fun-filled morning working together. I just hope your muscles fared better than mine!

Bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 minutes
For the dough:
(add enough flour to mixer so that dough just barely pulls away from sides, and a very soft, slightly sticky dough is formed)
Any idea of exactly how much volume a "package" of dry yeast is? I feel like I've seen varying sizes, and I don't want to get this wrong!
It's 2 1/4 tsp.
The way my stomach just roared (not grumbled) after reading the ingredients and looking at that picture was nearly vulgar.. bahaha happy friday! I love your site.
OMG These look amazimg, and I just happen to have some pumpkin left over from making Pumpkin Pasties for my Halloween Party. I would invite you Chef John but I live way to far from you!
What size baking dish did you use? Is it 9" by 13"?
Pumpkin Pasties eh?
Look at these! They look scrumptious!
I used a deep 13 x 9 baking dish (see ingredient list)
Hmmm... so sticking pretzels into marshmellows to make spiders = not your thing. But in 2009, sticking string cheese into hot sauce to make "severed fingers" was cool!
Anyways... love the recipe, looks delicious!
Chef John, you need to put pinmarklet on your site so people can pin the recipes to Pinterest. I really wanted to pin this one, but I'm settling for a Facebook link. These look incredible!
Sorry for this dumb question, Chef. What is the volume of 1 cup in ml? Thank you:)
Could you leave out all of the pumpkin ingredients (spices/puree) and have a standard cinnamon roll? Or is this recipe designed with the pumpkin puree in mind, in terms of the final texture of the dough?
Do you have a how to write up or is it just in the video?
You can leave out pumpkin but you need to add 1/2 of something wet, like more cream or water, to make up the difference.
Pro tip:We used to make cinnamon rolls at work for breakfast and you can prepare them up to the point of the second rise(after they've rolled)butter some disposable muffin tins and stick one roll a piece in each cup and freeze the tin to be pulled out as needed(it was a cute little 12 table restaurant)So we'd pull out a tray of 6 every morning,thaw it,then proof it,and then bake as a part of morning prep.Cool idea that can be transferred to home if you ever want to surprise houseguests without all the work while entertaining.Not to mention you could double the batch since this is kinda a pain to assemble.
I have never... just... oh my! I'll be making these to bring to work on Monday!
Is there any way of making these into mini cinnamon rolls to get more out of them (to feed more people)? If so, would that affect the baking time. I imagine it would need less baking time, but by how much?
Chef, I've been watching your videos on YouTube and visiting your website for years. I'm in awe, although not surprised, at how your views, subscribers and fans have grown exponentially. It's just incredible to see SO MANY views on your videos. I don't know of any other YouTube cooking shows that have achieved that.
I'm sure you can do as mini, but I don't have times for you. thanks!
L. Hitt, thanks for the idea. I figured out how to add one.
I must create this...and then eat it...and then rinse and repeat! Great now I have to watch my weight before AND after Halloween :P
Hi Chef John can you knead this by hand?
Hi Chef John can you knead this by hand?
Oh, thanks so much for putting the pinterest button on!!!! I so wished that it was there so many times but figured you had a reason for not having it. Hate to say it but you are now going to be all over Pinterest!!!! Thanks L.Hitt!!!
Ohhh crepe, now you are associated with Pintrest...what's next, arm wrestling with Muscles Glasses from EMT?
Nope, I hate pumpkin.
I really can't find allspice around here :s what spices can I use instead? Thank You so much
@per aspera ad astra
1 fluid cup = 237 ml
or as I would do it - a shy 250 ml
Can I use a bread maker? :)
Can I use a bread maker :)
Hello Chef John,
I really like your blog, you are one of my favorite chefs!
Congratulations for this recipe, I prepared today and everyone liked! I included in my blog.
See you soon,
Can I make these the night before and just bake them the next day?
No! :)
Great! I pinned it.
Now, did you put a temp. and baking time on here? I can't find it. Did I overlook it?
I added to ingr. list. Generally I don't write any steps, but on baking items like this I've been adding to ingr. Thanks!
Hi Chef John. My dough is doing it's first rise now, but I'm a bit concerned. I ended up using at least a cup of flour less than what the recipe calls for. Is that normal? I read and re-read the ingredients list to make sure I didn't miss anything.
Yes, that would be weird. Maybe you packed the flour in the first 3 cups, so it was really like 4 properly measured?
I just basically scooped and scraped the top of the cup with a knife...but I thought a cup less was odd - even allowing for humidity etc.....we'll see - just finished the second rise and is now in the oven. The dough rolled out fine though. Fingers crossed
Came out awesome!! My 4 year old even ate one.....dunno what happened as far as the flour goes, but I figured I had the right texture dough based on what you described and showed. I just have to roll tighter next time. I will absolutely make these again!! Thx.
I had the same issue as the last post. After 3 cups of flour, the dough was quite dry. I added more cream and another 1/4 cups of flour (3.25 cups total). It's on the first rise now. I'm hoping for the best! :)
for the folks who were sad about not having the pinmarklet- download the pinmarklet button for your toolbar, then you can pin from ANY website (with a photo, anyway). i've been pinning chef john for quite a while now using that button. =)
hi chef John!
can I use apple purée instead of apple?
and if not
do I jut 1/2 a cup of milk to replace the pumpkin?
Can I use apple purée?
Can I use apple purée instead of pumpkin
If not
Do I just put half s cup of milk to substitute it?
never tried with apple, but any similar amount of something wet should be fine.
I love your videos and blog. I just made this recipe (my dough is rising now) I didn't add the pumpkin. As i was reading the comments, I didn't know I was suppose to add 1/2 cup of milk or something else. I only watched the video and decided to try it. So I'm guessing my cinnamon rolls are going to be hard and dry :( THANX for the recipe

Hi Chef John,
Just finished making these and I have to concur with the other two posters about the quantity of flour. I ended up using just shy of 3 cups of flour(leveled, unpacked). My kitchen was quite cold, not sure if that had anything to do with it though. They came out great anyway!
I made this for first time to take it to a party. oh my God, I could impress every one. Thank you so much for your blog. It is wonderful.
Dear Chef John. . .by any chance. . is the REASON not to make the night before and then bake the day after. . due to the fact that these rolls become more BREAD like? If so I found my answer to why these keep coming out like bread rolls. .yummy but not fluffy like yours. .
Or can you tell me what i am doing wrong that causes mine to form a harder crust and bread like texture on the inside ? ? ?
I think they would over rise if you tried to make the day before baking! Unless I watched you make them and felt your dough, I wouldn't be able to tell. Probably your dough is too dry.
Chef John ,what brand of yeast do you use ?...
Hey CJ! So if I were to omit the pumpkin purée I could just replace it with milk or cream? Same amount?
Chef John, is it okay to replace the pumpkin with sweet potato? If so do I have to omit the sugar?
You can, but not sure about the sugar. Would have to test.
Hi Chef John! I'd just like to ask if it was okay to omit the sugar?
Hi Chef John,
Can you please make chocolate cinnamon rolls...google cinnabons if you don't know about them. They're delicious! :)
Chef John, does the 6-7 minute knead include the total mixing time or is that from the time the dough comes together (off the sides of the bowl)? Thanks!
probably total, but exact time not important, as you'll know when it's ready.
I love this recipe! I'm going to try making pumpkin kolaches and have a cream cheese filling! Thanks for your recipes! You're a pro!
Super Good Recipe :) Thank you :D
Made these for Thanksgiving and they turned out amazing! Was extremely proud of myself because I never bake!
chef jhon i love love this recipe thanks they came out the exact same as yours they tasted so goooood!
Seriously yum these look great! I will have to try them, thanks for this delicious recipe.
Hello Chef John, this was a great recipe, I really enjoyed making it. Have a great one!

I just joined this forum. It looks extremely rich and informative. I look forward to learning from you all.
I'm an intermediate/advanced Geospatial Analyst with very strong experience with GIS and semi-strong experience with Remote Sensing technologies.
I most often use ArcGIS for analyses and geovisualization, and up until now essentially all cartographic production from this work has been done in ArcGIS.
I'd like to take my cartography and map-design skills to the next level. I'd like to start producing higher calibre maps and geovisualizations. Specifically, I'd like to start integrating my primarily ArcGIS-based work with design tool likes Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
I'd really love any advice any one has to give. Are there any good resources (websites, books, etc.) I should look into to learn the basics of map design with Adobe (from GIS)?
For instance, for starters, I'd love some insight on how I can start creating my own north arrows in Photoshop or Illustrator -- I'm sick and tired of the rather limited and boring north arrow options in ArcGIS.
Or, since I started with talking about basic map elements, what about my legend and scale bar? I want to break free from the pre-defined options of ArcGIS and add some more creativity and style to my maps.
I've attached what I consider one of my best maps to this message. Now, while I'm generally proud of this map, I recognize all of its many flaws and realize that it screams "amateur". I'd like to be able to start doing some "real cartography", not just GIS-based mapping, which, as I'm sure many/most of you know, are NOT the same.
Any thoughts? Thanks so much in advance.
Matthew Toro

Sunday, October 18, 2009Out of everyone at the Lipscomb men's soccer game Sunday afternoon, possibly no one could have said it better.
"We finally got the monkey off our back," said Head Coach Charles Morrow.
The men's soccer team had yet to win an Atlantic Sun conference match before beating Jacksonville 1-0 in the first round of overtime.
"We just made a decision at the end that we weren't going to tie this game," said Morrow. "We were either going to win it or lose it."
It took 95 minutes, but the men finally capitalized on a scoring opportunity when sophomore Andrew Chamberlain made a run with the ball and crossed it to sophomore Garrett Pettis who put the ball in the back of the net, ending the first overtime period and the game.
"We really limited the mistakes we made defensively. In some games previously, we sort of beat our selves," said Morrow. "There's been some games where things haven't gone our way and the guys sort of fall apart. Today wasn't our best day playing but the guys stuck together and played hard."
"We made some adjustments at the end that proved to be the difference."
Goalkeeper Patrick Walsh got the shutout for the Bisons, totaling four saves on the game.
With today's win, the Bisons bring their overall record to 4-8-3 and 1-3-2 in the conference. Jacksonville falls to 3-9-1 and 1-4-0 in the conference.
The Bisons next take on cross-town rival Belmont Thursday here at Lipscomb University at 7 p.m. Watch it on Asun.tv or join the Lipscomb student body for the black out at the game by wearing black.

Patrick T. Ellinor, MD, PhD, is a cardiologist in the Cardiac Arrhythmia Service at the Massachusetts General Hospital Heart Center.
BiographyDr. Ellinor is a cardiac electrophysiologist at MGH. His clinical focus is on cardiac arrhythmias and in particular atrial fibrillation and heritable arrhythmias including long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.
Dr. Ellinor attended medical school and graduate school at Stanford University followed by medical internship and residency at Brigham and Women's Hospital. He then came to MGH for his fellowship training in cardiology and cardiac electrophysiology. He joined the faculty in the Cardiac Arrhythmia Service in 2003. Dr. Ellinor is currently an Associate Physician at MGH and an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School.
ResearchThe goal of Dr. Ellinor's laboratory work is to use genetics to elucidate the molecular basis underlying abnormalities of the heart rhythm and heart function. Much of his recent work has focused atrial fibrillation which is the most common arrhythmia. To identify novel pathways for atrial fibrillation he has used a broad range of techniques including population genetics, electrophysiology, and animal models of arrhythmias.
Dr. Patrick Ellinor, cardiologist at the Mass General Heart Center, says you should discuss your condition with your doctor, since many people who could benefit from specific treatments are not aware of them.
The Mass General Institute for Heart, Vascular, and Stroke Care integrates services to accelerate advances in stroke-related atrial fibrillation research and patient care.
Experts from the Massachusetts General Hospital Institute for Heart, Vascular and Stroke Care present insights and opinions on methods for treating refractory heart failure, genetically determined arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation in an integrated, multispecialty program.
Massachusetts General Hospital is working together with experts from across the globe to investigate the genetic causes of atrial fibrillation, as part of a $6m Network funded by the Leducq Foundation.

The Utah Highway Patrol is investigating a Feb. 28 incident on U.S. Highway 191 which resulted in the death of one individual.
On Tuesday at approximately 5:30 p.m., a sheriff's deputy reportedly pulled over an unidentified man driving a Ford Explorer in Duchesne near 300 East and Main Street.
A UHP spokesperson said the initial reason for the Duchesne County deputy stopping the man was that the plates on the vehicle were reported to have been stolen. At that time, it was unclear whether the vehicle was stolen, according to UHP investigators.
The deputy reportedly made contact with the driver of the vehicle and began to converse with him.
Shortly thereafter, the driver of the Explorer drove away from the officer.
The deputy followed the driver to Highway 191, where reports indicate that the driver headed south toward Price.
As the chase left Duchesne and headed south on the highway, weather conditions turned from rain in the city to snow through the Indian Canyon area.
During the chase, vehicle speeds purportedly averaged 70 miles per hour.
Near milepost 267 on highway 191, the driver of the Explorer reportedly lost control of the vehicle and spun off the road. The man then allegedly left the vehicle and began charging toward the deputy while firing shots.
While tactically retreating behind a vehicle, the deputy reportedly fired back at the subject.
Information from the UHP indicates that the subject purportedly entered the deputy's truck and attempted to flee the scene.
However, the suspect reportedly made a U-turn and crashed the vehicle into the mountain adjacent to the highway.
By this time, three other sheriff deputies and two Roosevelt city officers had joined the chase and were on the scene.
The preliminary incident reports indicate that the man allegedly started firing at the law enforcement officers.
All four deputies and one Roosevelt police officer reportedly fired back at the man, killing suspect.
All six officers have been placed on administrative leave, an action customary during the investigative process that follows a shooting of this kind. No officers were hurt. The incident is under investigation by UHP.
At press time, law enforcement had not released the name of the man reportedly killed in the incident. However, officials indicated that the man was not a Utah resident. The spokesperson for UHP reported that the agency has learned that the vehicle the man was driving was reportedly stolen and that the man had allegedly violated his parole conditions.

POTSDAM Police are looking for two people in connection with the armed robbery Friday of a 93-year-old man outside his home at 420 Route 11B.
A person in a dark-colored pickup truck was parked in front of the home of the victim, Donald J. Jackman, when the robbery was taking place, witnesses said.
A St. Lawrence County Sheriffs Department investigator said he believes that person was involved in the crime, even though witnesses did not see anyone enter or exit the truck at the time of the robbery.
After speaking with Mr. Jackman, I knew the vehicle should not have been there, Detective Sgt. Brooks J. Bigwarfe said.
Mr. Jackman was leaving his home, where he has a tools and equipment business, when he was robbed, Sgt. Bigwarfe said.
Mr. Jackman exited his home into the shop where the individual was waiting for him, Sgt. Bigwarfe said. He pulled the gun on Mr. Jackman and stole an undisclosed amount of money from him.
Anyone who was in the area of Mr. Jackmans home about 3:45 p.m. on the day of the crime, and who might have information that could help the sheriffs investigation, should call the departments Detective Division at 379-2360.

|Can't Even Get a Thank You
|Written by Dave Blanks
|Monday, 23 April 2007 07:20
Only 4 out of 10 businesses in the High Country expressed any appreciation for customers coming in, such as: "Thank you." or "Have a nice day."This was one of the results of a mystery shopping survey conducted April 2-6. This study was commissioned by The Trade Mission Inc. to establish a benchmark for the quality of service in the High Country. The Trade Mission Inc. is a local training and development consulting firm specializing in helping businesses successfully apply biblical principles.Trad Mission Inc. Owner Bill Barr said overall, the study indicated that people in the High Country are courteous. We only smiled 58% of the time and only about half the time were we enthusiastic to see the customer. Barr said overall, High Country businesses did very well for a benchmark study with an average on 7.89 out of 10.0. Usually studies of this type will render an overall score no higher than 6.6 out of 10. However…Since the study was completed early in the season, many of the mystery shoppers encountered business owners, managers and experienced full time employees. Studies in other mountain resort communities have indicated that when part time and seasonal employees are added, the results drop around 20%.

Pakistani tax official works on his laptop at a tax office in... NachrichtenfotoArbeiten,Büro,Drahtlose Technologie,Finanzen,Horizontal,Islamabad,Laptop,Pakistan,Steuer,Technologie,WirtschaftPhotographer AAMIR QURESHICollection: AFP 2012 AFPTO GO WITH PAKISTAN-ECONOMY-TAX,FOCUS BY NASIR JAFFRY A Pakistani tax official works on his laptop at a tax office in Islamabad on November 14, 2012. Pakistan is banking on a new amnesty to bring millions of tax evaders into the revenue net but analysts warn the scheme is a charter for cheats that will encourage money laundering and could 'destroy the tax system'. The chairman of the Federal Board of Revenues (FBR) Ali Arsahd Hakeem told AFP that the country's main revenue collection authority, is hoping to lure up to three million non-payers with a special offer, though he conceded it was a 'gigantic task'. Total tax revenue amounted to a paltry 9.6 percent of GDP in 2010-11, among the lowest in the world. AFP PHOTO/Aamir QURESHI (Photo credit should read AAMIR QURESHI/AFP/Getty Images)

Travel across Jakarta often requires a combination of many forms of transport. Commonly used is the Transjakarta, a modern bus system that is allocated special street lanes to circumnavigate the often hectic traffic in the city centre. These are cheap and plentiful although going long distances can become confusing when transferring. Other bus lines are more crowded and less safe and do not run on a fixed schedule. Taxis are abundant but can be expensive for longer rides. Blue Bird taxis are the most trusted, although there are many impostors with questionable reputations. Many narrow street lanes are better suited for ojeks, also known as motorbike taxis. Also popular for shorter trips are three-wheeled vehicles known as bajaj. Be sure to bargain with both ojek and bajaj drivers before accepting rides. Jakarta is a difficult city to navigate through and unfortunately, as it lacks a coherent city centre, attractions are spread quite far apart. For this reason walking is not really an option when sightseeing. Crime is also a problem and if you are walking from place to place you should be conscious of your possessions and ensure that they are difficult to access for pickpockets. It is best to leave valuables in hotel safes when possible.
Local time is GMT +7.
Electrical current is 220/380 volts, 50Hz. A variety of plugs are in use, including the European two-pin and UK-style three-pin.
The Indonesian currency is the Rupiah (IDR), which is divided into 100 sen. Foreign currency can easily be exchanged at banks, hotels and money changers in major tourist destinations; the US dollar is the most accepted currency. Ensure that foreign bills are in good condition, as creased and torn notes may be refused. The best exchange rates in Indonesia are generally found in major centres like Jakarta and Bali. Visa and Mastercard are accepted at more expensive hotels and restaurants, however smaller businesses may not have card facilities (especially in more remote areas). ATMs are available in main centres. Small change is often unavailable so keep small denomination notes and coins for items like bus fares, temple donations and soft drinks.
The international access code for Indonesia is +62. The local mobile phone operators use GSM networks and have roaming agreements with most international operators. Internet cafes are available in the main towns and resorts.

The climate in Jakarta is a tropical monsoon climate, which is hot and humid with year-round rainfall. There is little fluctuation in temperature throughout the year: in summer (June to September) temperatures average around 82°F (28°C), while winter (December to February) has an average of 80°F (26°C). The wet season officially runs from November to June, while July to September is the driest and is considered the best time to visit Jakarta.
Shuttle buses run hourly to the city centre and various other destinations in and around Jakarta until about 11pm. The bus that terminates at Gambir Station passes through the city centre. Taxis are metered and will be more expensive as a single traveller, but about the same price if you are sharing with three or four people; note that road tolls may be added to the fare.
Avis, Hertz and Europcar are represented at the airport, along with a number of local car rental companies.
Official taxi booths are located in the arrival terminal, where a host of unofficial taxi drivers also vie for business with varying prices. A trip to the city centre can cost up to around IDR 120,000; although extra may be charged for toll road fees. Depending on traffic, the 12-mile (20km) trip to the city centre will take between 30 and 45 minutes, but can be as long as an hour and a half if traffic is bad.
A free bus connects the terminals.
Facilities are limited but the airport is clean and the staff are friendly and efficient. There are shops, banks, bars and restaurants, and tourist information and hotel reservations at the airport. There are facilities for disabled travellers; passengers with special needs are advised to inform their airline in advance.
There are more than 2,000 parking bays at the airport, all within easy access of the terminals. Short and long stays available.
Wifi is available free of charge in the lounges and in Terminal 2.

The Battle of Gettysburg is underway for the second time in a week and tourists turned out in droves even though the outcome of the Civil War's pivotal encounter has been known for 150 years. This re-enactment was held by the Gettysburg Anniversary Committee, the group which has held such events for roughly two decades.
