May 17 is National Cherry Cobbler Day, and we're celebrating with a Cherry-Pineapple Cobbler. The recipe is courtesy of Pastry Chef Hugo Reyes from BR Guest Hospitality. This sweet and tart dessert will be featured at several BR Guest restaurants around New York City — including Blue Fin, Prime House, Wildwood BBQ and Atlantic Grill Lincoln Center. But in case you can't make it in for a scoop, we've got the recipe below.
Buttermilk is the key ingredient in Hugo's recipe: It complements and balances the tart flavor of the pineapple and cherries, and ultimately it leads to a fluffier biscuit. We also got three tips from Chef Hugo for making cobblers at home.
3 Tips for Better Cobblers
1. Choose fruit that's in season, local and perfectly ripe for your cobbler.
2. The fruit should be bubbling and the biscuit crust baked through when the dish is ready. To make sure, insert a knife in the biscuit. If it comes out clean, the cobbler is done.
3. Don't forget the ice cream! Cobblers are best served warm with heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream (or any flavor of your choice).
Cherry-Pineapple Cobbler
Recipe courtesy Pastry Chef Hugo Reyes, BR Guest Hospitality
for the filling:
2 cups fresh Bing cherries, pitted
2 cups pineapple chunks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Pinch salt
for the crust:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 tablespoon salt
8 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup heavy cream
For the filling:
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat a medium saucepan over moderate heat. Cook all filling ingredients, stirring occasionally, until sugar begins to dissolve, about 3 minutes. Spoon filling into a ceramic or glass baking dish.
For the crust:
Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Mix in the butter with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in buttermilk and heavy cream with fork until just combined (do not over-mix). Spoon dough over pineapple-cherry filling, leaving space between mounds. Sprinkle sugar on topping. Bake until topping is golden brown and fruit is bubbling, about 25 minutes. Cool slightly and serve warm.
And don't forget the ice cream.

Joseph and his wife have seven children, aged between 13 and 27 years-old. Joseph is suffering from kidney failure, so is unable to work and provide for his family. His two teenage sons are supporting the family and between the nine of them, they have a meager Rs. 2,000/- per month.
The family was displaced during the war in Sri Lanka and when they returned to their village they had to work hard to clear the jungle that had taken over in their absence.
Meanwhile, they were living in a temporary house until The Lebara Foundation learnt of their plight and has now provided them with a permanent house in the Lebara Village.

I noticed that you have the Land of Waves and the Land of Whirlpool as being the same island. I was wondering where in the manga or one of the databooks does it say this? Over at Leafninja they have it as two different islands on their map. Jmg1988 (talk) 09:01, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
- Leafninja had to invent a new island in order to do that.
- I can't remember where the Land of Waves is shown on a map in the series, but the location of the Land of Whirlpools is the most logical of the two choices. ~SnapperTo 19:49, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
- So basically this is just a guess and not based on any confirmed data?

The entire list
Adnan Oktar's conversations with guests
New Information
Daily Comments
In his interviews, Mr. Adnan Oktar adviced President Erdoğan to protect all people of any kind of belief especially the Jews, and to be compassionate towards them. To his call, a reply came from Mr. Erdoğan and he said that he will protect all people regardless of faith, or even lack of faith.
A9 TV: September 27th ,2013
ADNAN OKTAR: Tayyip Master should make more compromising politics. I said this several times. He should have politics that embraces everybody. Balancing politics is not easy but it is possible I think. For example, he can show a compassionate attitude towards Israel. He can show a compassionate, loving attitude to the Jews. He can give his message by saying, "Here I am against this, but I love you very much indeed". He can say, "I am very compassionate towards you": Because Tayyip Master is in a blockade at the moment, and because the blockade is very powerful, it seems difficult for him to move freely and develop a new strategy. But they can make it slowly, by familiarizing it, by forming a basis for it, by examining the situation. By checking reactions. He should trust directly in the sincere spirit of the Anatolian people. I think he should change his attitude against Israel, and against the Jews. If he says: "I love you, I am compassionate for you, I am a protector for you, Turkey is your friend", that would be great.
A9 TV: June 18th, 2013
ADNAN OKTAR: Tayyip Master should strengthen his Kemalist side. He shouldn't trust the bigots. He should strengthen his modern side. He can give a lesson to Europe but he must show love to the European people; he should say that he loves the European people. He should say that he loves the American people. He can develop an attitude towards the CIA or towards the politicians, but he should say that he loves the nation very, very much and he likes them very, very much. Tayyip Master should praise the art of Europe. He should protect the communists also; he should protect everybody. He should protect the disbelievers and the atheists.
A9 TV: October 23rd, 2013
Adnan Oktar: There is a handful of people in Israel. Everybody is hurting. They act like a bully, because the number of Israelis is not many. Under these circumstances, like our Ottoman ancestors, we should protect the Jews, and we should have a compassionate and merciful attitude towards them. I see that Tayyip Master also has this attitude, but I think that it would be better if he strengthened this attitude. We should stand by the weak. If they oppress we answer back with the laws, but seeing millions of people, children, women, all of them as potential tyrants would be oppression. There are a lot of enemies of Israel, there are a lot of enemies of the Jews. It is like they are living for hatred and cruelty. Tayyip Master shouldn't give credit to these people. He would have given them credit in a roundabout way. He should emphasize his always protective and compassionate attitude more strongly. We are waiting for him to mention his love, compassion and mercy towards our religious Jewish brothers in a powerful tone, just like his previous powerful tones. This is what looks better on him. This would be nice.
A nation cannot be perfect at all. A history of a nation cannot always be perfect always either. There may be some problems in its history, there may be some problems with the people; but it would be oppression, if you punish the nation completely, and the next generation, and if you humiliate them and show them as they are cursed. In the Qur'an, the Jewish nation is praised. The Israelis are praised but the ones who are vicious and the tyrants are cursed. It is our duty to be compassionate. We are waiting for Tayyip Master to make a good statment. He should put an end to the madness in the world, insha'Allah.
27 October 2013, Star
In an opening ceremony of a hotel in Van, President Erdoğan said : "It is our duty to serve to the Muslims and the Christians. We will stand for the rights of the Jews, the Christians and the atheists."

When their Messengers brought them the Clear Signs, they exulted in the knowledge they had and then were engulfed by the very things they mocked. (Surah Ghafir, 83)
Darwinists have for years been trying to impose on the world a false theory they have constructed on the basis of lies. The methods they employ consist of deceptions produced under the name of science but that in fact have absolutely nothing to do with it. As revealed in the above verse, evolutionists imagined that this false theory had power and "exulted," but then they were "engulfed" by the works demonstrating signs leading to faith in the earth and sky and that proved the Existence and sublime creation of Almighty Allah (God). With the global spread of the Atlas of Creation in particular, Darwinists have literally been bound hand and foot. The fossils dating back millions of years depicted in the Atlas of Creation proved to the whole world that living things never evolved but were flawlessly created by Allah. This embodied the words revealed in the Qur'an – that they "were engulfed by the very things they mocked."2008-12-23 17:21:29

Does This Equinox Ad Offend You?
I'm on the fence about this ad for Equinox, an upscale gym with locations in Los Angeles, New York City, and elsewhere. On the one hand, I'm not keen on the juxtaposition within advertisement — that the woman herself is a "joy ride" (despite the fact she is freezing in that outfit) or that riding a motorcycle in a bikini would be a joy ride (again, despite the fact she is freezing in that outfit). It's another unrealistic portrayal of women's bodies — not the physical body itself, but the unreal suggestion that she's so "hot" she's not losing her tuchus to frostbite.
However, I'm not bothered by the fact a woman in an advertisement for a gym is wearing a bikini, or that her face/identity is obscured by her motorcycle helmet. Even though there are other cases of advertising where a woman's body is used to gratuitously sell a product — many alcohol ads, for instance — I think a gym advertisement is a pretty legit reason.
What do you think? Let us know in the comments.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Engineering challenges are fun activities that are frequently assigned to students in physics or engineering classes, but they can easily be used outside of these venues. An engineering challenge usually has a simple goal and some rules about what sorts of materials you are allowed to use. These are great ways to get people thinking creatively and to foster teamwork and competition. Try an engineering challenge at a birthday party, office outing, scout meeting, or any other gathering where you want to have fun and exercise your creativity.
In the Paper Boat challenge, participants are asked to make a boat out of paper and a small amount of tape, glue or staples. Everyone should be using the same amount of materials. Each boat will be required to hold a small cargo (marbles, pencils, or little toy figurines work nicely). The boat that remains floating the longest is the winner. A variation of this challenge is to allow teams to use as much or as little paper as they want, but have a heavier cargo (a baseball or book). The lightest boat that can float the cargo for 1 minute is the winner.

Import, set-up, sort and complete one or several massive music collections
Audials takes care of any task for your music tracks, while sorting and normalizing your collection as well
Managing several music collections at the same time is easy
Today's music collections typically consist of thousands of music files, with files scattered across the entire hard drive after having arrived by a variety of methods. Audials excels at keeping track of and sorting what you have. You can order several music collections simultaneously on your Windows PC and structure the collections with a variety of criteria or sources.
Structured media collections increase the enjoyment factor
Audials gives you a structured view of your media collection no matter where the individual files are stored. You can browse your files by artist/album, genre or file system view. You can display entire albums in the selected structure or sort individual tracks.
Audials provides the overview of your collection
Even if you would like to add someone else's music collection, Audials keeps everything sorted clearly. Doubles are displayed immediately and different spellings for the same artist can be corrected in one go. The fast, integrated search of your music collection locates any track that's slipped through the cracks.
Import large chunks of songs however you want
Importing and exporting music collections, e.g. from an external USB stick, is easy with Audials. Audials displays the music to be imported by color alongside the pre-existing collection. Simply mark the artists, albums, genres or individual tracks you want, and Audials automatically copies the selected files to your collection. Audials also take into consideration the structured view you've chosen and renames the files to be imported if necessary.
Automatically edit mass tracks and fine-tune manually

Audials is especially powerful when it comes to auto-tagging tracks. Audials can automatically complete new files by adding missing ID3 tags, even for massive music collections.

Saint Leo Rebounds from Game One Loss, Honor Five At Senior Night Event
SAINT LEO, Fla. – After falling in game one, the Saint Leo softball team (25-29, 9-16 SSC) sent their five seniors out in style with a 7-1 victory over the Eckerd College Tritons (15-39, 3-21 SSC) in the regular season finale, Thursday night from University Stadium.
The Lions quickly responded from their shutout defeat in game one as they combined to score seven runs over the span of two innings to down the Tritons in their Sunshine State Conference finale.
Prior to the doubleheader, however, the softball program and the Saint Leo Department of Athletics took to time to honor five Lions as Ana Castillo, Jaime Walker, Sarah Boyd, Ashton Whidden, and Elysha Agen donned the Lions' uniform one final time.
On the field, the Lions outhit the Tritons, 16-12, as six players collected two or more hits. Ali Lamb led the group as she went a combined 4-for-6 with two doubles and two RBI. Ashlee Sismilich poked three singles, while seniors Ana Castillo and Elysha Agen contributed two hits apiece. Castillo also tied for the team lead with two RBI and Agen scored one of the Lions seven runs. In addition, Alex Garris and Danielle Moreda collected two hits while senior Sarah Boyd platted a pair of runs.
Still, the special day did not begin as the Lions had hoped, suffering a 2-0 defeat in game one.
The Lions outhit the Tritons, but were not able to find the clutch base knock as they left five runners on base.
The loss derailed a terrific effort in the circle by senior Ashton Whidden as she scattered four hits and allowed just one earned run. The righty struck out four batters and allowed one walk.
For the Tritons, Eckerd struck for runs in the fourth and sixth innings. A leadoff single by Chelsea Jeffares proved to be the difference in the game as she eventually came around to score on an RBI single in the fourth.
Eckerd then capitalized on the lone error of the game in the sixth inning as Kelly Coston scored on a throwing error.
Alex Sasso scattered seven hits and did not allow a run over the span of seven innings.
Game two, despite falling behind early, eventually belonged to the Lions. Saint Leo began its comeback in the fourth when they platted four runs.
After loading the bases with no outs, Diane Gonzalez tied the contest at one apiece as Agen crossed the plate on Gonzalez's RBI groundout. Lamb and Castillo then connected on back-to-back RBI singles, before Kasey Postupack capped the inning by scoring on double steal.
The squad increased their 4-1 lead in the sixth inning when Lamb scorched a one out, RBI double to centerfield scoring Boyd. After Castillo's RBI single made the score 6-1, Garris roped an RBI base hit to push the score to its eventual 7-1 final.
Kristen Kelly dominated in the circle as she set a new career high for wins in a season with 10. She tossed 6.0 innings, allowed one earned run while striking out four in the win.
Jaime Walker cleaned up the contest as the senior tossed an inning of scoreless ball.
The doubleheader also saw the Lions successful on 11 stolen base attempts to bring their season total to 111.
The win marks the end to the 2011 regular season for the Lions. Stay up-to-date with SaintLeoLions.com for continuing softball coverage.

Why did you choose NFTE?
I like that NFTE is focused on helping kids from lower-income areas, who are mostly minority kids. It feels good to give back and try to help kids that don't always have opportunities to grow their entrepreneurial skills.
What are your tasks in the projects?
SAP will work with the kids to consider different ideas, coach them on building a solid business plan and then evaluate them on their plan and prototype.
How much time do you need for the initiatives?
The competition starts in January, with the teachers introducing the Tech competition to their students. The final presentations will be conducted in June. Over the 6 months I will be providing 5-10 hours a month. We will be looking for other SAP coaches to contribute in the March, April time frame, as we evaluate the various business plans and coach the kids.
Is there also a benefit for you in helping others?
Yes, not only the self-satisfaction, but also learning from young people about new trends and social tools and preferences.
Why is it worth to engage in a CSR project like this?
SAP colleagues should engage in a program like this because it helps build skills for the future that will help the economy. It also helps young people feel more confident and gain purpose to their lives.

I'm starting to think you're crazy, brother. You caught 30 waves on a board that has no major flaws and you want to fill in the concave? I just don't get it. But if you insist...
Typically you use pour foam to fill in foam, which you then shape and glass over. Since the strength is in the glass, and you're not pounding the bottom of the board with your feet, you only need 2 lb. foam. Higher density foam only adds weight you don't need.
Your project is not an easy or quick one. You should be pulling off the bottom glass to do this, then glassing, hotcoating, and sanding. You need some serious skills to do this, and you risk screwing up your board to the point of no return.
Or... you could go old school, and just use Bondo!

ORLANDO, Fla. - The fall allergy season is upon us. Grass and weed pollens are at high levels. For many, that means popping allergy pills or using natural sinus rinses like Neti pots.
But the Center for Disease Control warns flushing out your sinuses could actually let something much more dangerous in.
That something else are microscopic killers. Single celled, brain-infecting amoeba that Doctor Kevin Sherin of the Orange County Health Department says can kill quickly, "Often times the death is rapid and it's almost an untreatable disease."
Health officials alert Floridians each summer when the temperature of our local lakes rises above 80 degrees and create a breeding ground for these dangerous parasites.
But now the CDC and the Orange County Health Department are warning those same organisms could be found in our tap water.
"We have acid in our stomach, gastric acid that kills any of the bacteria, small organisms, including the protozoa which is the amoeba," said Sherin.
So the tap water is safe to drink, but when sprayed or rinsed through the nasal passages the amoeba thrives, possibly causing serious infection.
"The nose gives an open doorway into the brain. If you introduce water into your nose by swimming in the lakes in the summer and getting a snoot full, this is another way to introduce it with the tap water and the Neti pot. It's rare but it can happen," said Sherin.
In the past 10 years, the CDC reports the amoeba has killed 31 people.
Two of those deaths were linked to tap water in Neti pots. To be sure you're flushing your sinuses safely, the CDC and the health department recommend using distilled, sterilized, or filtered water. If you must use tap water, be sure to boil it for at least a minute.
Also be sure to clean the Neti pot between uses to be sure no bacteria remains.
Sherin suggests a better way to handle your stuffy nose and allergies is to use a pre-packaged saline solution spray.

Hello to all, this is my first time at posting in the forums so please forgive me if I have done so incorrectly.
I have been asked by someone to make a cake for a funeral fo a baby born sleeping. I havn't been asked to make a funeral cake before and was hoping you could help me out with what would be appropriate. I appreciate any help I can get with this matter, thank you xx
Do I understand that the funeral is for a baby or that the request is for a sleeping baby.
Personally, I think less is way more when it comes to funerals. I prefer a classic round appropriately decorated according to flavor...no inscription or anything.
My mother died in March of this year. For her memorial, I made a display of desserts (cupcakes, mini key lime pies, etc.).
"Born sleeping" refers to a "still birth", if that will help anybody with their answer. That's a tough one. Maybe somebody out there has done this before or has gone through it themselves and will know what would be appropriate.
Having gone through a loss myself, I think butterflies and a simple round would be appropriate. The butterflies signify the loss of the child and are a beautiful symbol. Another idea could be an angel but I myself prefer the butterflies. Just my two cents.
My mainstay for funerals is cheesecake. Not a traditional cake, but it can be taken in and out for serving over the course of several days. Also, the leftover freezes well for the family to enjoy later.
Keep it simple. Don't add angels or any other quasi-religious icons to the cake without first talking to the client. You should also ask about butterflies, I think. It is a lovely symbol, but it may not be what the client is comfortable with.
Just my 2 cents.
A sheet cake with a simple shell border. In this case just do white on white.
Forgive my ignorance, but funeral cake? I've never heard of it. Could somebody please enlighten me?
Many cultures have a dinner for the funeral attendees, after the trip to the cemetary. The dinners are sometime catered, sometimes potluck but coordinated to balance the menu.
So this cake baker was asked to make a dessert. NOT a decorated celebration cake.

Ah! That's what I initially thought while I was reading this thread.
In my neck of the woods you never see an actual cake at the after-party -- it's either small pastries or maybe mini cupcakes or cookies. Nothing fancy. Chances are it will all go virtually untouched unless there are children present..
Thanks for enlightening me!
Just a suggestion: a white frosted BC or fondant covered cake with white roses and like someone suggested simple borders. HTH
Ive done a couple like this before. I agree something simple. In most cases I did a sheet cake with simple borders and some flowers. The last one I did was for a young girl who passed away and I made cupcakes with just a swirl of white buttercream frosting.
I have made several cakes for funerals but never for a baby. I like the idea of using a few butterflies on an otherwise simply decorated cake.
If it was for other than a baby, I usually try to make a very nice simple, cherry floral. My thought is let's try to brighten up an otherwise dismal day but don't overdo it.

Local 6 spoke to some travelers at Orlando International Airport on Wednesday about Transportation Security Administrations new announcement to allow small knives on planes.
Since the attacks of September 11th, transportation security officers have tightened the belt when it comes to taking that pocket knife, baseball bat, or even full-sized shampoo bottles on the phone. Some of that will change, you will soon be able to take your small knife and some sports gear.
"Why can't a bottled water, but I can take a knife? It doesn't make sense," said Gail Morlock came from Canada to Orlando, she said.
Lynn Conway, who came from Rhode Island, said, "I really don't think that's a good idea, I mean when you say small knife, how small is small?"
Most travelers like Lynn are asking the same thing. When it comes to pocket knives, be sure the blade is smaller than 2.36 inches and it can't be wider than 0.5in.
Glenn McWilliams, who lives in The Villages, said, "The way people are right now, I woudn't trust anyone with a small knife on a plane."
How about that lucky putter? Soon, you will be able to take two golf clubs as a carry-on and even things like select baseball bats, hockey sticks, and lacrosse sticks.
Transportation officials say the change is going to allow them to focus more on spotting the really lethal stuff, like explosives, but folks like Lynn say we shouldn't rule out the power of a small knife.
"I know that's how the 911 attacks were perpetrated, I know they were using box cutters, but they had knives," Conway said.
Box cutters will still be prohibited.
The new relaxed rules have flight attendants speaking out. They are calling on the TSA to reconsider, calling the move outrageous.
Stacey Martin, president of Southwest Airlines' Flight Attendants Union, TWU Local 55, condemned the changes:
"TSA Administrator John Pistole's announcement that passengers will be allowed to carry knives, sticks and clubs on commercial flights is a threat to passengers and affront to flight attendants. This policy was designed to make the lives of TSA staff easier, but not make flights safer.
While we agree that a passenger wielding a small knife or swinging a golf club or hockey stick poses less of a threat to the pilot locked in the cockpit, these are real threats to passengers and flight attendants in the passenger cabin.
Flight attendants at Southwest Airlines, AirTran and other carriers see our primary responsibility as maintaining order and keeping passengers safe. This change in policy creates an unnecessary risk for everyone who flies. TSA's policy change is dangerous, shortsighted and should be immediately rescinded."
Also, The Association of Flight Attendants, which represents more than 90,000 flight attendants released this statement:
"Today's announcement to permit knives back into the aircraft cabin is a poor and shortsighted decision by the TSA. Continued prohibition of these items is an integral layer in making our aviation system secure and must remain in place.
As the last line of defense in the cabin and key aviation partners, we believe that these proposed changes will further endanger the lives of all Flight Attendants and the passengers we work so hard to keep safe and secure.
Flight Attendants are the front line safety and security professionals onboard every commercial passenger aircraft in this country and must be given the tools and training to protect ourselves, our passengers and the aircraft. Despite repeated requests for updated training to include basic self-defense maneuvers to allow us to defend ourselves, Flight Attendants still do not receive mandatory training about how to effectively recognize and defend others against attacks aboard the aircraft."

Monte Grappa ratings
(rate it)
Monte Grappa is part of the Grappa massif, 100 km in circumferance, which straddles the provinces of Treviso, Vicenza, and Belluno in the northeast Italy's Veneto region. It rises from the plains to a height of 1775 m (5769 ft). It was a World War 1 battleground and has great significance for the Italian people. It is a wonderland for cyclists, offering nine paved routes to the summit, one of which is considered the third hardest climb in Italy. The Giro has visited Monte Grappa three times. The last was in 1982 in the Comacchio-San Martino di Castrozza stage, won by Vincente Belda of Spain. In 1974 it was in the Misurina-Bassano stage, won by Eddy Merckx over Moser and Gimondi. On both of these occasions, the race went over the mountain but did not go up to the summit which is a dead end road. The only time it did so was in the Trento-Monte Grappa stage in 1968, won by Emilio Casalini, a domestic servant of Eddy Merckx. There's also an annual race, Bassano-Monte Grappa, which celebrated its 65th anniversary in 2005. It used to be a pro event and was won by Gino Bartali in 1934. It then became a dilettante race, with Leonardo Piepoli, Ivan Gotti, Gilberto Simoni, and Damiano Cunego adding their names to the list of winners. It is now reserved for Under 23 category riders. "Fare il Grappa," to do Grappa, is the obligatory climb and right of passage of every local cyclist. The oldest person to do it is a 90-year-old area resident. Another local rider, Ginesio Ballan, has ridden up Monte Grappa more than 1000 times, 273 times in 1999 alone! It's the tradition of Paduan cyclists to climb the mountain on June 13, the day dedicated to their city's patron, St. Anthony. The climb is now included in the Salite del Giro program. The worst time to climb the mountain is on the weekend, when thousands of cars, motorcycles, scooters, and buses crowd the roads and belch out fumes. If you climb Grappa by the "classic" route (from Romano d'Ezzelino), you can stop at the inn at Ponte San Lorenzo (on your way down, of course!) and see autographed photos of Gino Bartali and Marco Pantani! Story and pictures by April Pedersen Santinon - www.biciveneto.it
The Monte Grappa is situated in Veneto. This climb belongs to the Dolomites.
Starting from Caupo,
the Monte Grappa ascent is 28.9 km long. Over this distance, you climb 1402 heightmeters.
The average percentage thus is 4.9 %.
Look for other sides to climb the Monte Grappa.

Chefs vs. Cityby Sommer in View All Posts, August 7th, 2009
I know you've been counting down to the Chefs vs. City premiere tonight. In each episode, Food Network chefs Aarón Sánchez and Chris Cosentino challenge two local foodies to locate that city's biggest, boldest, most unexpected food places.
When we asked super fast runner and Chefs vs. City co-star, Chris Cosentino, how to describe this new series in five words or less, he shot back, "exciting, funny, humbling and super competitive."
Here's a two-fer interview with Chris, and Photo Coordinator for Food Network, Melissa — two people who just happen to share a home city (keep reading to find out where), and spent an exciting day at a photo shoot. Like the stars on Chefs vs. City, let's get things running.
SOMMER: Each Chef vs. City episode is in a new town with a new set of challenges. Which city was the most difficult to compete in and why?

Why Women Love Jennifer Lawrence, Too
We love her for the same reasons you do — apparently, now that Jennifer Lawrence has been named AskMen's Most Desirable Woman. The leonine bone structure softened by the last vestiges of baby fat. Her body, slim but still ripe as a peach. The lone dimple underneath her cartoonish smile.
But it's not just physical with Jennifer Lawrence. She's funny. Not the kind of funny we round up to because she's achingly beautiful, but the kind of funny we watch from her on Letterman and laugh out loud to. She's also honest, admitting fallibility in a way Gwyneth Paltrow isn't allowed to and declining to create a persona the way Megan Fox did.
Did we mention she's a damn good actor? Lawrence was nominated for an Oscar at 19 for Winter's Bone and took on Hollywood's biggest current female-lead franchise, The Hunger Games, at 20. When we watch her onscreen, we're struck by her resolve, how seriously costars like Robert De Niro and John Hawkes take her and how seriously she takes the roles. She's warm and real and accessible in 2-D and 30 feet high.
We love her as much as you do. Maybe we even love her more, because she's one of us. We don't find excuses for why she shouldn't be on a list like AskMen's, the way we might with others. We're just proud that you got it right.

POLICE in Worcester say they want a "peaceful" Wold Cup with England's first game kicking off tomorrow night.
West Mercia Police say they are prepared for keeping people safe during the World Cup in Brazil which has now begun.
More England games are also being held on Thursday and next Tuesday.
West Mercia Police has vowed to act robustly to deal with incidents of anti-social behaviour, violence and domestic abuse.
Superintendent Steve Owen, who is leading the policing operation for the World Cup said: "We want everyone to enjoy the World Cup; it's an exciting time for all football fans. A small minority may use the tournament as an opportunity for anti-social behaviour and we will have additional resources available across the counties to provide a reassuring presence as we try to prevent offences from happening. We will also be clamping down on drink-drivers, raising awareness of domestic violence, and encouraging the public to be aware of their own personal safety.
"It's also important to respect the supporters of all teams and remember that not all Warwickshire and West Mercia residents and visitors are football fans and may not wish to celebrate the event."
It is expected that with the later, Saturday night kick-off, many people will be drinking and officers are encouraging everyone to take steps to stay safe and make sure the evening is a memorable one for all the right reasons.
Officers are also issuing public safety advice, including stating hydrated and not drinking alcohol to excess.

Hi everybody again.
I´m going to update my mom(77 years old) situation.
As you know in October 2009 she had a surgery removing half of the liver and gallbladder.
All CT scan were ok until today, since doctor told her that it was found 2 cm spot in the liver but saying her that he had no clear the area and for this my mom should do another CT scan in 3 months(until now every 6 months)
Which are your thouhts? It is normal waiting 3 months doing nothing more?
My mother is in perfect health, with a normal life. For this reason she is in a shock moment.
Hi again;
Today by surprise Doctor told her for a endoscopy on June 20th wednesday.
I have to say that today is my mom birthday, 77 years old, and she has remenbered weeks before to the surgery on 2009.She called me to give me the news crying.
After leaving the factory where i work I'll buy a bouquet of flowers ...
Thanks to all of you;
Carlos...Happy Birthday to your sweet Mom. I will be thinking of her today.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your wonderful Mother! Mmmm flowers sound great to me.
Sometimes the spots are so small they have to wait just a bit. Not sure what the waiting will do, everything and everyone is so different. I know we had a situtuation also where we had to wait a bit as the Radiologist and ONC just were not sure. Did he say why he wants to do the Endoscopy?
Happy Birthday to your mum, Carlos A great lady, with a great son.
I hope the doctors can reassure her.
Julia x
Marion, Lainy, Julia, thanks for your words.
I guess they want to be sure about what CT Scan showed 3 weeks ago and for this reason endoscopy is usefull tool for future decisions.
Doctor told her about another CT Scan in September 3 weeks ago, therefore today Doctor phone call to my mom has been a surprise.
As you know my mom surgery remove half of the liver and gallbladder and portal vein reconstruccion. I suppose another surgery it would be not an option... and chemo...
RIght now I am really confused.
Carlos....The next CT scan will put things into perspective. It is too early to speculate at this point. Try to relax and enjoy your Mom's Birthday.
Hi Carlos,
A happy birthday to your mum from me as well! Get your mum the flowers and try and relax and enjoy this day with her.
Best wishes,
Gavin, Marion and all I will send all your support to my mum.
Hi everybody again;
After an endoscopy with biopsy and Pet scan in the last weeks, cancer has returned to my mom.
Doctor told us that surgeon team will meet next week to take the best decision for my mom.According to him another surgery would not be an option...
She is 77 years old and after 3 years form the surgery she is in perfect health without any symptom.
What can we expect from the doctors decision next week?
Regars to all of you;
Hello, Carlos - it's good to hear from you but I'm sorry to hear the cancer has reared its ugly head again.
Sorry I can't answer your question but I'll be thinking of you and your mum and hope next week's meeting goes well.
Julia x
I think you should ask the following questions after the oncologist and doctors' speaking to you at next meeting.
1. If the tumor is only confined to the liver and no metastasis to other part of the body. ask the interventional radiologist the possibility of RFA or chemoembo or radioembolization. (for intrahepatic tumor)
2. if the tumor is only confined in the bile duct and is <4cm; and nometastasis,
ask the interventional radiologist whether IMRT oer cyberknife or PDT is an option.(this is for extrahepatic tumor)
If your mom can qualify for either one of the above procedure,then it is much better for her in terms of side effects as compare to chemotherapy and the quality of life is much better than having chemo. 2nd opinion from an "interventional radiologist "is recommended before the start of chemotherapy.
But if your mom's cancer is spread or metastasized to other part of the body, then systemic chemotherapy and targeted agents will be the only logical choice.
Again, i am only a patient and not a doctor. the final decision should be your mother's and yours to make after concultation with the doctors.
God bless.
Thanks for the answers.
PCL1029, I don´t think in our hospital(public) can have these trataments, but I will ask. I´ve just read that a private hospital close to our city can have those treataments but it must be very expensive for us.
Anyway, do you know a new chemo treatament would be the best option taking into account that she is in perfect health?At this moment I prefer do nothing...
I've heard so many stories how the chemo actually made things more painful.
What is your opinion?
For chemotherapy , The relatively easy to take without major side effects is capecitabine+ oxaliplatin(CAPOX) . But make sure you understand I am only a patient like you mom and not a doctor. The recommendation should be discuss with your oncologist. But if gemcitabine and CISPLATIN will be prescribed by the oncologist, it will not hurt to ask for the pros and cons of both regimens . The CAPOX is less toxic to the kidney and the hearing function and less hematologic (blood cells) side effects than CISPLATIN ,but gem / CIS is the most commonly prescribed regimen for CCA. As a patient ,between the two, I will choose CAPOX for convenience (capecitabine) is taken by mouth and for the age factor of your mom; gem/cap is also a good choice as well as GEMOX . Doing nothing as you mentioned is not a good idea, for the tumor will keep on growing. Unless the chemotherapy is free and cost you nothing, otherwise my suggestion on the last message to you to go with RFA or IBRT may not be as expensive as you think when you add the cost of each chemotherapy together an d compare to RFA or IMRT one - 2 times treatment .
God bless.
Thanks PCL1029.
At the moment chemotherapy is for free in Spain.
The last news is that Doctors want to do more tests(after CAT scan,endoscopy and PET scan), new blood test and another CAT scan exactly.
I dont understand very well since one month ago my mom had a PET scan that I think it is more powerfull than CAT scan.
The new appointement with the doctor is on August 30th for the results.
¿What should i be think?
Thanks for your support once again;
In today's meeting with the surgeon told us that the new tumor after 3 years with clear images is in a bad place for a second surgery and the best thing is to make an appointment with the oncologist next week.
PCL1029,If I understood correctly, in this meeting we will have to address the following;
-RFA or chemoembo or radioembolization
-IMRT or cyberknife or PDT
-chemotherapy(CAPOX, gem/CIS ¿?)
My mom took just Gem after surgery 3 years ago for 6 months, 1 hour per week without any side effects.
Thanks for your support;
1. for surgery or interventional radiologisst purpose. I NEED YOU TO TELL ME WHERE THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE TUMOR.
Usually it is on the CT scan report if you can quote i" word by word"
so I can have more understanding about the location of the tumor.
this is for the RFA,chemoembolization,IMRT or cyberknife or PDT--all of this are performed by the interventional radiologist and not by oncologist.they may even know about theses options.
2. Chemotherapy is order by the oncologist.
6month is not enough,I took gemzar for 18 month and the tumor still came back.
God bless.
Hi to all of you;
After firts appointment with the ocologist the decision has been Gemzar for 6 months. 30 minutes per week for 3 weeks and 1 week off.
The new tumor is 30x30mm and is close to portal vein.
Asking for interventional radiologist the answer has been that "it is not an option".
She says that in the last months she has sometimes heartburn and she gets tired quckly otherwise nothing else.
today I'm really sad seeing my mother crying tell the doctor all the information about how is a normal day in his life before to take a decison about chemo.
Thanks for your support.
Dear Carlos, thank you for the update on your Mother although I am so sorry to hear about the size of the tumor. She is a very strong woman for her age and you are a loving and strong son. Teddy used to get very tired and the ONC ordered Vitamin B12 shots once a month and they really did help. There are things the ONC can give her for heartburn. No need for her to suffer with anything. Yes, to take chemo or not is a really tough decision. You are sure entitled to feel sad now and then we have all been there. Have courage, be strong and please keep us updated on Mom.
Thanks Lainy.
Just take it one day at a time.
I think your oncologist did take your mom's current health status into account and prescribed 6month of Gemzar for your mum. that is ok as far as keeping the cancer at bay and also provide a better quality of life treatment plan for your mom.I still don't know the exact location of the 3x3cm tumor;but if it is the only tumor in the LIVER, unless the radiologist feel otherwise, I don't see why chemoembo is not an option unless he/she has difficulty in reaching the hepatic artery. or the past portal vein reconstruction preclude the procedure.
God bless.
Carlos....I so much understand your Mom's feelings of sadness of having her life altered by this cancer. My heart goes out to her. Please, tell her that we understand and support her.
In regard to the heartburn, as Lainy has mentioned numerous medications are available to help ease the discomfort. Our Percy is a great resource for this.
You might also want to ask your Mom to record the incidences of the heartburn occurrences as it may be related to certain foods especially, food high in fat content and/or other food difficult to digest. To aid the digestive system small meals taken intermittently throughout the day might prove to be beneficial. And, moving around (small walks) will help.
As always, I would like to point out that the information received on this site must be brought to the attention of the physician.
PCL1029, Marions thanks.
Hugs to you and your mum, Carlos. X

Search through millions of records to find out more.
1861 — Nyirmada, Hungary
Jakab, a religious Jew, was the father of eight children. In the early 1900s he sailed to America, paying his way by shoveling coal on the ship. In New York he earned enough money to help two of his daughters emigrate. Returning to Buj, he eventually moved his family to Zalkod, a small town in northeastern Hungary. There, helped by his wife, Terez, and his son, Miklos, he ran a store and a farm.
1933-39: My daughter, Sadie, and her two children, Lillian and Arthur, are visiting from America. The kids love it here--running in the orchards, visiting the gypsy camp and watching the traveling circus. Sadie is afraid for us. On the trip over she stopped in Hamburg and saw Nazis marching in the streets. She is begging us to return with them. I'm 75! And how can I leave my store and farm? I've told her not to worry: It's all so far away.
1940-44: We few Jews in Zalkod have been forced to move to the nearby town of Satoraljaujhely where 15,000 Jews are being concentrated into a squalid ghetto. Hungarian gendarmes forced us out of our home after German divisions crossed into Hungarylast month. Most of the people here are women and children because able-bodied Jewish males, including three of my sons, have been taken as labor conscripts by the Hungarian army, which has been fighting alongside the Germans. Our food is running out, and we're getting weak.
Jakab, Terez, and about 25 of their relatives were among 435,000 Hungarian Jews deported in the summer of 1944 toAuschwitz. Jakab was 83 when he perished.

"I ordered these for my wedding invitations, and they came our gorgeous! I loved the design and the color options they offered. I went with the square option, and used the cream colored background and solid color for the back design. I love that the paper is already shimmery, which also adds to the design. I did think the paper was a little thin, and maybe I should have ordered a thicker paper, but overall all I was very happy with my order and my invitations! My order also arrived earlier than expected."
"Absolutely love how the cards turned out! We received so many complements from our family and friends. I used one of our engagement shots and added the ceremony details to personalize. The process was simple and shipping was fast. Customer service was excellent too."
"Loved my pearlized invites! Didn't want them to be overly fancy but had just the right amount of delicate and they are beautiful!"
"Ordered my wedding invitations so that they looked like an old fairytale. They came in and were gorgeous, the pictures were great quality and the lettering was clear and easy to read."

Indians rally for win after replay goes their way
Call overturned with two outs in fifth, then Tribe pulls ahead on homer
CLEVELAND -- Nick Swisher may not have many hits this season, but he surely leads the Indians in timely home runs. Friday night's game simply served as another reminder that, when presented with the right opportunity, the Columbus, Ohio, native can still change a game with one well-placed stroke of his bat.
With two outs in the fifth inning, Lonnie Chisenhall tied the game with a single and Swisher put the Indians out front on a two-run homer as part of a three-run outburst that keyed the Tribe's 7-4 victory over the White Sox at Progressive Field. The pivotal sequence was sparked by a manager's challenge that overturned an out call at second -- Asdrubal Cabrera was ultimately ruled safe on a steal of second -- and the inning was extended.
Chisenhall and Swisher took full advantage of still being on offense in the fifth.
"In that situation right there, huge knock by [Chisenhall] to be able to tie the game up and just continue to keep that inning going," Swisher said. "And then to be able to come up and hit that two-run home run to put us up [was great]. Obviously, any time we have a chance to strike or to, what we call, gas pedal a little bit, we want to do that."
The Tribe (46-46) snapped a four-game losing streak against the White Sox while also climbing back to .500 for the first time since June 20. Swisher finished the game 2-for-4 in his third multihit performance of the last 10 games, and he is 11-for-37 with three homers since July 1.
"I think he's certainly doing much better," Tribe manager Terry Francona said. "It just wouldn't shock me if you look up and somehow, maybe his batting average won't be what he is career-wise, but it wouldn't surprise me if you look up and see the home runs and RBIs. Guys have a way of doing that."
Tribe starter Corey Kluber fought to overcome shaky command through the early stages of the game but pitched well enough to earn his ninth win of the season with some help from the offense. The right-hander allowed four earned runs -- the first time he's surrendered that many in his past seven outings -- in a six-inning start that saw him scatter eight hits and strike out five.
"Location wasn't that great, but the important thing was that we got a win," Kluber said. "[The offense] would bounce right back, score and answer."
The White Sox offense struck first, slapping three straight hits off Kluber in the second inning to put the Indians in a two-run hole. David Murphy provided the quick answer on a two-run homer -- his first time going yard since May 21 -- to even the score.
The two clubs went on to trade lone runs in the fourth inning. The White Sox plated one courtesy of Adam Eaton, who doubled a screamer to the gap that carried just beyond the reach of Michael Brantley. The Indians threatened later that inning by loading the bases with two outs, and recent acquisition Corey Dickerson did his part by drawing a walk that tied the game for a second time.
"We kept answering back, and we had to for a while," Francona said. "We did a really good job of swinging at strikes, Murphy got a good pitch to hit, Swish got a pitch to hit, some two-out hits. We gave ourselves more than one or two opportunities tonight."
Adam Dunn gave the White Sox yet another slim lead in the fifth on a solo shot that barely managed to work its way beyond the wall in center field. That, however, would mark the end of any scoring from the South Siders, who were held hitless over the final four innings.
Relievers John Axford, Bryan Shaw and Cody Allen combined to put up zeros the rest of the way, giving the Cleveland bullpen a collective 0.34 ERA over its last 26 1/3 innings.
"The bullpen came in and shut them down," Kluber said.
In what has been a trying season for Swisher, the first baseman has finally been able to smile about his hitting lately. And on the same day that LeBron James announced his homecoming to northeast Ohio, Swisher would be allowed to join in on the celebration.
"I almost felt like I should take some powder and just throw it up in the air," Swisher said.

Did you know?
Harry Potter lies buried in the Cradock cemetery – but this Harry Potter died a century ago.
The Great Fish River cuts through the little Karoo town of Cradock on its way to the Indian Ocean off the Eastern Cape coast.
Since 1975, Cradock has had the pleasure of a major river flowing past its downtown suburbs, filling up the Victorian furrows and bringing life to this part of the Grassy Karoo.
Cradock began life in the early 1800s as the last stop you made before you ventured into the dry hinterland on your way north. You fixed your wagon wheels here, you loaded up with victuals and you had the local blacksmith beat out a few necessary tools needed on such an epic journey.
Today, travellers still overnight in Cradock before heading for their coastal destinations. Many bus tours also have Cradock firmly on their cross-country itineraries and visitors love to walk its streets and marvel at the Victorian Karoo architecture.
Cradock also continues to serve the local farming population, who make up the backbone of the community. Meet them socially and you'll hear the 'old names' of Cawood, Michau, Collett, Van Heerden and Marais. In the township of Lingelihle you'll find Xhosa descendants of the Frontier Wars and elsewhere – especially on the surrounding farms – you'll come across people with San (also known as Bushman) blood in their veins.
Today, central Cradock residential area is a rich mixture of South Africans of all backgrounds. Chinese and Lebanese traders have been here for more than a century. New arrivals from the city bring an urban flavour to its streets. Even the long-standing Silver Creek Mountain Band – an up-country bluegrass trio of musicians – has taken up residence in Cradock.
This normally blue-collar Karoo settlement comes alive when the Hansa Fish River Canoe Marathon happens in early October, and more than 3 000 fit, strong sportsmen and women and their friends hit town. It's three days of fun on the water – and out of it – and there's not a room to be had in Cradock during this time.
Cradock's historic heroes are legendary. The indomitable Olive Schreiner, author of Story of an African Farm and an early women's rights campaigner, spent many of her early years in the area. More recently Matthew Goniwe, the anti-apartheid activist and popular local teacher, made Cradock the national focus of the Struggle when he led rent and consumer boycotts locally. Tragically, he was murdered by the apartheid regime along with three other activists, who together are known as the 'Cradock Four'.
Today, the town is a peaceful haven with everyone just working at making a living, enjoying the fresh Karoo air and the cool waters of the Great Fish River.

Around the area
The National Arts Festival in Grahamstown in July; the Karoo-Lus Festival in Graaff-Reinet in September.
Tours to do
Day drives to Nieu Bethesda, connect with Karoo Connections in Graaff-Reinet for trips to the Valley of Desolation; township tours of Lingelihle in Cradock can be organised via the Victoria Manor Hotel; a walking tour of Cradock is also very popular. A visit to the Schreiner House in Cross Street is highly recommended.

What will it cost
Accommodation runs between R300 – R500 per person sharing per night, including breakfast.
Length of stay
Cradock is worth a 2-3 day visit, if you want to do the township tour, the day drives and the Mountain Zebra National Park.
What to pack
Pack for the season – but always include something warm for a sudden cold chill sweeping in from the coast.
Where to stay
Die Tuishuise and Victorian Manor in Market Street; park chalets at the Mountain Zebra National Park. There are many choices of b&b accommodation in Cradock itself.
What to eat
You can 'dine Karoo' at the Victoria Manor, which means a substantial helping of meats and vegetables from the buffet; or you can 'dine Italian' at Mila's Restaurant in Durban Street, where pizzas, pasta dishes and steaks are the specialties.
What's happening
The Schreiner Festival in July; The Hansa Fish River Canoe Marathon in October.
Best buys
The little wire windmills sold on the Cradock–Port Elizabeth road under the sign of 'Karoo Art'.
