ANDERSON, IND. -- Rose-Hulman
Institute of Technology relied on a pitching gem by senior
Gannon Sadzeck (Crystal Lake, Ill./Central) and a
ninth inning double by sophomore Matt Turk (Addison,
Ill./Addison Trail) to top Anderson University 3-2 on
Sadzeck tossed his best game of the 2011
season against one of the top scoring teams in the HCAC and the
defending regular season league champions. The right-hander
allowed just two runs and seven singles in eight innings of work
with two strikeouts and one walk for his first win of the
Sadzeck pitched out of a bases loaded jam in
the eighth, retiring Vincent Moore on a ground out at second base
on his final pitch to keep the score tied at 2-2 entering the ninth
In Rose-Hulman's final at bat, sophomore
Bobby Newman (Orland Park, Ill./Sandburg) started
a one-out rally with a walk and advanced to second on a ground
out. Turk then slapped a double to right field, scoring
Newman and giving the Fightin' Engineers a 3-2 lead.
Freshman Hank Akard
(Indianapolis/Ben Davis) came on in the ninth and retired
Anderson in order for his third save.
Rose-Hulman trailed 1-0 entering the top of
the eighth inning, as Sadzeck dueled Greg Vogt in seven quick
innings. Singles by Turk and junior Will Burchett
(Mokena, Ill./Providence Catholic) started a rally, then
senior Michael Kovacs (Cincinnati, Ohio/Moeller)
reached base on a single and an error with two outs and the bases
loaded to plate two runs.
Offensively, Kovacs and Turk led the
Engineers with two hits, including a double, and one
Rose-Hulman moved into second place in the
HCAC standings at 8-3 in league play with the victory. The
Engineers improved to 18-8 overall and host Transylvania University
in a three-game series on Saturday and Sunday. Anderson
dropped to 16-7 and 6-3 in conference games.

Where is Julie going???
- March 7, 2013 at 1:22 pm(2) generalhospital says:
she's just decided to move on, no word on where she's going.
- March 7, 2013 at 1:45 pm(3) J.J. says:
When the departure of Julie was announced Marcy was the first actress I thought of that would make suitable replacement. I'm so excited.
- March 7, 2013 at 10:39 pm(4) juan says:
wow. but she is so short and I think she is too slutty to be lulu.
- March 7, 2013 at 10:52 pm(5) juan says:
all of dante's scenes will be in the bed from this point on.
- March 9, 2013 at 10:59 pm(6) mp says:
i love this actress playing Lulu she was in a movie called bring it on all or nothing she was acting playing mean girl and stealing her boyfriend Winnie Harper and she was good acting her character
- March 11, 2013 at 6:30 pm(7) Helen says:
Lulu was never tall.
- March 11, 2013 at 6:40 pm(8) ammiey says:
i have to agree with Juan…sorry but i'm so done with bed scenes. i want drama, drama, drama!! love kate & konnie..:)
- March 11, 2013 at 8:02 pm(9) shirley says:
what is going to happen to Abby now? are they going to replace her?
- March 12, 2013 at 2:47 am(10) Tammy says:
Not impressed with the new Lulu.Why didn't they just write her off ? I think after the big 50 celebration is over with..it'll be time to stop watching this show..I started enjoying it for a while with the new changes..it's getting stupid again,and with nice weather coming,I won't waste an hour watching this when I can be outside.Time to end the show.
- March 12, 2013 at 8:05 am(11) TLW says:
I love Julie Berman, but knowing that it's her choice to leave makes it a bit easier for me to give the recast a chance. I'll reserve judgment until I've watched Marcy's first scenes with Dante and see what kind of chemistry they generate. I wish Marcy well in her new job and I wish Julie the best of everything for her future.
- March 12, 2013 at 11:30 am(12) Judy in South Carolina says:
@Tammy……………..enjoy the outdoors…………………..
I watch Y&R so I think Marcy might be able to pull it off but getting used to not having Julie Marie in the role is going to be extremely difficult, at least for me.
Like a previous post, I think the success of the recast is going to depend on what kind of chemistry Marcy has with "Dante".
- March 20, 2013 at 1:42 pm(13) kristin says:
I will miss her
- March 22, 2013 at 11:07 pm(14) Gh fan says:
I think they should have had Jen Lilly replace Julie as the new Lu Lu. She was a great substitute for Kirsten when she could not play Maxie for a while.
- April 11, 2013 at 2:59 pm(15) Henry says:
She was great as Lizzy Spaulding on Guilding Light
- April 11, 2013 at 3:38 pm(16) Jennifer says:
It will not be the same!! I love Julie. She has been one of my favorites! But, I do wish Marcy well and I hope she can pull it off! Now, bring back Jason!!!!
- April 11, 2013 at 6:52 pm(17) Stacey says:
I'm with you Jennifer, bring Jason back. I will miss Julie!!!
- April 12, 2013 at 1:17 pm(18) cheryl says:
GH is the only soap opera that I watch, it was hard to see Jason go, but LuLu is gone. Thats too much. Whats going on GH???
- April 12, 2013 at 1:27 pm(19) Audra says:
First jason now lulu…im about to stop watching general
- April 12, 2013 at 1:46 pm(20) s says:
Really bad choice-so disappointed!
- April 12, 2013 at 2:13 pm(21) Woman1949 says:
Com on G.H. get it together! Bringing back the "old cast members"…is one thing! Taking away the GREAT ones is a shameful duty!!!!! Jason & now LULU? Give us "DIE-HARD FANS" some credit! You`ll keep messing with (G.H.) and your gonna lose a lot of "lifers".
Maybe some fresh new ideas…instead of going backwards and removing some of the best! DAH!
- April 12, 2013 at 3:46 pm(22) TJW says:
well shoot! I love Julie!!! she is "Lulu" can't imagine an other person playing her,,,hate that.. the switching up of characters…ugh.. I wish her well and hope the new one is convincing..
- April 12, 2013 at 3:59 pm(23) Enella says:
I have been less interested since Robin left and then Jason. Show not the same without them. Why replace Lula but not Robin and Jason? If they don't get them back to GH I will just stop watching and I have been watching since 1967c
- April 12, 2013 at 11:18 pm(24) Niki says:
This is such CRAP GH…You seriously need to bring the original Lulu back AND Jason (Steve Burton) He sucks on Young and the Restless because he belongs on GH with SAM…and this actress now playing Lulu sucks bad enough on Young and the Restless and now you move her to GH to play LULU??? Seriously?? Get your heads out of your rears and fix this before you lose a lot of viewers…or is that what you're hoping for so you can cancel GH too like you did One Life to Live and All My Children and replaced them with CRAP shows?? Shame on you
- April 12, 2013 at 11:41 pm(25) cat says:
You should if just killed her off cause there is no way you can replace her to that ugh
- April 13, 2013 at 1:48 am(26) Leighanne says:
Geeeeez….cant u people read ??? General Hospital DID NOT axe Julie Berman !!!…..It was HER decision to leave the show !!!
- April 13, 2013 at 8:20 pm(27) Momof3under3 says:
Regardless of her decision offer her more money or something she's worth it and yes bring back Jason have him bring back robin he was gone BC he found her that would be good come on I agree wo Jason robin and now lulu show is not as good
- April 13, 2013 at 10:14 pm(28) mimi says:
GH has gotten really lame in the last few weeks. So they offered a bunch of One Life To Live characters a year contract, the year is up so Starr, Todd, John McBain all leave pretty much on the same day?? The only reason I started watching GH again was because of One Life getting canceled. Now with Jason gone to Young and Restless and now Lulu is Abby….Lame, just really disappointing and lame. And bringing Stavros and the freaking ice princess back?? That's digging so far back, it's just tired. God, I miss One Life To Live. I'll give GH a few more weeks and if it doesn't start to turn around I'm done.
- April 14, 2013 at 12:13 am(29) Chravrs says:
She doesn't even look like lulu!
- April 14, 2013 at 7:34 pm(30) Lisa says:
I never cared for Lu Lu. She acted like a spoiled brat and over reacts with little white lies. They should have done away with her. All we need now is for Carly and Sony to exit show next. If this ever happens there might as well be no more GH.
- April 14, 2013 at 9:28 pm(31) Cheryl says:
Please never cancel GH. I hate reality shows. Too many of them. They are boring, fake or trashy. Have watched GH for 50 years. Love it! Jason needs to come back. Lulu was okay. I love Sonny, Carly, the nerd, and the head nurse. They are great actors. I love GH's story lines. Better than late-night tv.
- April 15, 2013 at 1:31 pm(32) Leslie says:
I think Marcy will do great as Lulu. She looks more like the daughter of Laura and Luke! 'Abby' and ' Lulu' are two different roles, give Marcy a chance.
- April 15, 2013 at 8:37 pm(33) amy says:
Ohhh what a shame. without the real Lulu… just might have just lost a viewer. so far the new one is still 'dead' and don't like her… not one bit
- April 16, 2013 at 1:38 am(34) Linda says:
I heard that they were bringing back One Life To Live. That could be why all the characters left General Hospital.
- April 16, 2013 at 8:02 am(35) Jon says:
It must have been difficult for Luke and Laura and Dante to cry over and say goodbye to someone they didn't know…at all…as their daughter/wife. The new Lulu is waaaay too short, not pretty enough, and is just not Lulu. No problem if Maxi doesn't give her baby to this woman. lol Bad casting decision.
- April 16, 2013 at 8:51 pm(36) Keri says:
bring lulu back
- April 16, 2013 at 10:41 pm(37) penelope says:
To abrupt for her choice. U fired her. Why? Way too abrupt. Not happy. I liked Julie. Why did u fire her and what happened to Starr?
- April 16, 2013 at 11:30 pm(38) Donna says:
Bring back Jason. He belongs on GH not Y & R. Steve Burton is Jason and while you are at it bring back Julie. I dont like the new Lulu. She has no chemistry with Dante. Stop making these crappy changes and ruining the show!
- April 18, 2013 at 1:32 am(39) generalhospital says:
Both people left the show, they weren't fired.
- April 17, 2013 at 2:05 pm(40) carol falcon says:
will the old lulu be coming back to general hospital?
- April 18, 2013 at 1:31 am(41) generalhospital says:
The old Lulu, Julie Marie Berman, left General Hospital because she wanted to do something else. She won't be back any time soon. Whenever someone leaves, everyone hates the replacement at first. Give her a chance.
- April 17, 2013 at 11:56 pm(42) Jen says:
This show is a joke. Half of the people I love to watch are gone! Not much point in watching it now. Bring back Jason. Lulu. Robin….I have watched this show forever…maybe it's time to move on
- April 18, 2013 at 2:21 pm(43) pam says:
Ok people….calm down…lets not forget….current 'Carly' is actually the third Carly….Connie/Cate is the second one…..we dont always like the replacements…usually dont….but we get used to it as we always have. us 'lifers' know change happens…u may want them to b lifers but they don't want to. All the OLTL's r gone..Steve's gone…Johnny's gone…. Life moves on people…..we will always have favorites but back off the replacements….its not their fault castmembers leave.
- April 18, 2013 at 9:33 pm(44) Maria says:
I wish Julie the best. I understand that she wants to move on. I've watched General for 40years with a 10year break when they started freezing the world. Looks like I might have to take another break. What's with Robin, we know she's alive, we know where she is, bring her back already. I agree with comments on here "have Jason find her and bring them both back together!!!!' Money talks, offer them whatever they want!!
- April 18, 2013 at 11:39 pm(45) Stacey says:
I can't stand Marcy she was horrible in bring it on and everything I've ever seen her in. It wouldn't matter who she replaced she is a horrible actress.
As for Julie please reconsider I love you as an actress you were awesome in seventh heaven and amazing on gh.
As for Steve he obviously did not leave gh to spend time raising his boys considering he went straight to y&r a show I despise! So yes offer these actresses and actors a negotiation to bring then back. As for robin I love her and she belongs with Patrick but I also love Sabrina with him and it would be wrong to hurt her like that.
- April 19, 2013 at 12:36 pm(46) Debbie says:
1st Jason now Lulu……is the money? I hate when they change the characters or they leave the show. This Lulu is just NOT even close to looking like Laura…..I can't even imagine her with Maxie or Dante. No offense, but I hope they bring the other Lulu back.
- April 20, 2013 at 3:00 pm(47) Irene says:
like Luke there is only on Lulu so they should have killed her off the other one is so fake !
- April 20, 2013 at 11:32 pm(48) susie says:
I love lulu. offer her more money.GH has gone down the drain .I have watch GH for years,but if U don't bring the charcters from 2012.I DONT THINK THAT I WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH.
- April 21, 2013 at 10:32 am(49) Ellen says:
I do not like the new LuLu. to me she is not a good actress. No comparison to Julie. Bing old Jason and JUlie back. Steves role now is stupid. He is better at playing a mobster.
- April 22, 2013 at 2:48 am(50) Suz says:
Sorry about Lulu…GH is walking a fine line with me…I refuse to watch the replacement shows for AMC & OLTL and can just quit most of ABC…we have to ban them…that's how THEY learn….
- April 22, 2013 at 2:57 am(51) Suzette says:
Enough already!!! Ban ABC programming as much as possible!! Empower ourselves!!!
- April 22, 2013 at 2:23 pm(52) Caitlin Barnett says:
This sucks! I really liked the real Lulu. Not only did she lose her memory, she lost her face and body too.
- April 22, 2013 at 9:34 pm(53) Elsa says:
The new Lulu suck!!!!!!!!!!! get somebody else she's a waste of time
- April 23, 2013 at 12:25 am(54) qbarksdale says:
I hate the new Lulu. This one is ugly. I want the old Lulu back. This one doesn't even look like a Lulu. One more thing, bring my husband Jason back he was so sexy.
- April 23, 2013 at 11:09 am(55) Becca says:
The new LuLu sucks. With his storyline and "getting a baby" someone at GH should have convinced Julie to stay at least for the remainder of the storyline. Also no closure for the OLTL characters?
- April 23, 2013 at 2:52 pm(56) Cat says:
this new Lulu sucks – I'm sorry but she does! She's NOTHING like the old one. And why wasn't there any chatter about GH casting deciding to switch these actors? I wonder what happened that the orig Lulu (Julie) left the show very abruptly…
- April 23, 2013 at 3:42 pm(57) Gina says:
I want the old lulu back the new lulu she's suck ……
- April 23, 2013 at 3:45 pm(58) kelly says:
i hate all the changes on GH. the new lulu is too trashy looking.
- April 24, 2013 at 5:26 pm(59) Julie says:
I want the OLTL characters back, John was a good match for Sam, he's not Jason but very good actor and they had chemistry and Star was like a young Laura, didnt like her for Michael but great actress ! I dont like Robin's replacement Sabrina ? no chemistry there and the new Lulu is just not Lulu ! and replacing Kate with Connie is a good choice she was boring the "integration" was a way of replacing Kate !
- April 24, 2013 at 6:27 pm(60) Danielle says:
I didn't watch the new Lulu on Y&R but I'm yet be impressed. I HATE the Sabrina & Patrick storyline! I miss Jason terribly! I have watched GH for nearly 20 years and this is by far the worst writing. Love that Niklas is back right now…nice eye candy!
- April 24, 2013 at 11:36 pm(61) dotsie says:
I read somewhere that the OLTL actors were yanked due to a fight over the rights to these characters for the new on-line version of OLTL. If these actors come back to GH, it will be in new parts (think vampire). Not much we the viewers can do when the actors decided to change jobs . Much as we wish they would not. Imagine playing tha same part for decades. I am not sure how Erica did it! I miss the old Lulu, which is why I came looking for answers! Good pont above. The second and third Carly's took some getting used to, although the fourth one was a slam dunk and I finally forgot about Sarah Brown, who had gotten me hooked on GH after a 15 year break.
- April 25, 2013 at 12:34 am(62) lanie says:
I love Julie ( lulu) she is one of my favorites its not the same with out her .
No offence but the new lulu sucks no where close to the lulu, why not just kill her off .
Gh is the only soap I watch an its going down hill first Jason now lulu this really sucks
- April 25, 2013 at 3:12 pm(63) Linda says:
Do not like the new person playing LuLu. She has no personality. This show is beginning to stink since Jason is no longer on it and you keep replacing characters with new people
- April 25, 2013 at 4:22 pm(64) dawnjoy says:
I doubt she left on her own . I dont like the new lulu at all. Shes too short and not as pretty and not nearly as good of an actress!
- April 25, 2013 at 5:56 pm(65) Graciano Espinoza Jr. says:
Please,please,please,start talks with Steve Burton on coming back to GH! He will not make it in Y&R(no offense intended). Julie,I was hoping you never left,but good luck on new endeavor!
- April 25, 2013 at 10:36 pm(66) Nancy says:
I'm sick of cooking shows and home decorating. Seriously, I know everything Dr. Oz knows now and don't find his show interesting anymore either. They want Americans to lose weight and they bombard us with food shows. I miss OLTL and All My Children, I can't imagine these food shows and doctor shows pull in more viewers than these soaps. If it ain't broke don't fix it!!!
- April 26, 2013 at 7:53 am(67) Shawnee says:
I love the old lulu I don't like the new one at all she isn't nearly as pretty As the other one
- April 27, 2013 at 5:14 pm(68) Joann says:
Looks to fragile to be a real Spencer!!!
- April 29, 2013 at 7:33 pm(69) TERRI says:
I don't like the new LuLu. She is not as pretty, not as good of an actor and is way to short. It would of been easier to kill LuLu off and then bring this girl on as someone else. She is nothing like LuLu
- April 30, 2013 at 7:46 pm(70) Barb says:
The new Lulu sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!
- April 30, 2013 at 10:33 pm(71) Britt says:
NOOOO!!!!!!! The idea now is to create a new lulu…. she doesn't want dante and is a different actor but I canNOT see her as the new lulu. She's to tiny!!! Lulu had some meat on her bones!! Marcy is a great actress, but in NO WAY is she Lulu Spencer. Lulu is tough and ready to fight her own battles. Not some mini-bitty ready to sleep with one of sonny's workers. Disappointed. GH could have done better…. HIGHLY disappointed.
Side Note: why do all new characters for gh have to be skinnier than the ones before? First Lucky. went from bulk to, well.. tooth-pick sized. And now Lulu?? well curved, to.. toothpick.. and now Jason disappears.. watch his replacement come back skinny.!!!!!
- May 1, 2013 at 9:46 pm(72) generalhospital says:
Britt, you cannot believe how small Julie Berman is in person.
- May 1, 2013 at 12:49 am(73) B.Ross says:
I have watched this show all the yrs. its been on.I absolutly hate it when they replace someone.this is the only soap I still watch.bring back the real LULU,you cheap'os.settle the contract.
sorry ,dont like the new LULU.
- May 1, 2013 at 3:20 pm(74) Freda says:
i hate the new Lulu never liked her on Y&R she can not act u all have made a mess of General Hospital change LULU
- May 1, 2013 at 3:38 pm(75) julie says:
Lulu sucks….cant act…get rid of her
- May 1, 2013 at 3:45 pm(76) Francheska Gasparini says:
I really miss the old LULU on General Hospital! The new one is ok, but it seems so funny without the old one we all loved.
- May 1, 2013 at 5:01 pm(77) Julie says:
I don't like what you guys did to lu lu i.have to fast forward it cause its durmb she needs to remember so i can watch her again
- May 1, 2013 at 8:49 pm(78) Gloria says:
What a disappointment in the choice of Lulu's replacement. Her acting is horrible…no it's HORRIBLE!! I can honesrly say that I am not happy with the writers either. Time to say bye-bye to General Hospital after 40 plus years of watching. RIP GENERAL HOSPITAL. May as well bury Lulu as well.
- May 1, 2013 at 11:14 pm(79) SB says:
OMG!!!! New LULU is terrible … just a few episodes she has been in and don't like her, slutty, bad actress … bring old LuLu back and pay her more $$$ … isn't that what it is truly about????? Totally agree Jason, Lulu … who's next GH!!!! It's like a business … have to bend over backwards to keep the ones that are good and people like … someday soon I (we) hope she will be back … Get it together GH
- May 1, 2013 at 11:16 pm(80) SB says:

- May 2, 2013 at 12:37 am(81) Deborah Walley says:
I don't like the actress playing Lulu, either. If Julie Berman is really small in person, this new Lulu must be a cake topper. She is a terrible actress and the entire new personality is off . . . . way off. I'm a watcher from day 1. I can get used to new characters and understand that people like a change of pace, maybe a better deal from another show, but replacements have to be GOOD. Storylines have to be GOOD. I also stopped watching when the world was being frozen, that was STUPID. Same with OLTL in space. I am really disappointed. Dante has become an absolute idiot and I don't care how ripped is Milo's body, Milo and Lulu together is just plain ICKY. Lulu could fall on her head and come up one slice short of a sandwich and she wouldn't fall for Milo.
- May 2, 2013 at 7:20 am(82) Cathie says:
Wow the writing has gotten really bad. Then bringing over cast members from OLTL stunk. But Lulu leaving has just put GH at a dangerous place fan wise. The whole stupid plot of Vampires was just trash, the Pickle Lila. How desperate are you for writers. I would love to come over and volunteer my time writing the show so it would regain some of it's Oomph back.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
- May 2, 2013 at 8:36 am(83) Stephanie says:
There really is no chemistry between the Lulu and Dante. Maybe the storyline can continue to cover this up but is currently quite discouraging.
- May 2, 2013 at 12:47 pm(84) Ghlvr says:
I can not stand the new lulu. I hate that Jason is gone but I am willing to record y&r just to pause it and see his fine face! Britt is yuckie yuckie the writers better not have Patrick fall for her crap.
- May 2, 2013 at 3:01 pm(85) Greencountry says:
I agree!!! Thumbs down on the new Lulu and the story line. It's not even interesting to watch her act out such an awful storyline. Hopefully since she can't remember Dante, maybe she'll forget the town completely and move on. She doesn't come close to comparing to the class that Julie had on the show. It's bad enough that Jason is gone. Can't some one on the show find a happily ever after ? It's been way to long.
- May 2, 2013 at 5:05 pm(86) dee says:
bring back the original lulu do not like new one
- May 2, 2013 at 7:00 pm(87) Helen says:
I've watched General Hospital since I was 18 years old and I'm in my 50′s now I can't believe the last best years seems to be the worst year I've ever seen with Jason gone Lulu gone the replacement of Lulu totally I'm likeable and definitely not made for Dante is this generals best year or last year because it's going downhill for me fast sorry the afters I'm leaving but it's Jason isn't playing with his kids any plan on a soap then it wasn't to go home to play with his kids why I left so give the actors to keep your show live what they want to come back
- May 2, 2013 at 7:05 pm(88) Helen Gannon says:
I hate the new willow I'm disgusted that Jason left to go to the Young and the Restless I thought this was supposed to be general hospitals 50th anniversary it's making a mockery of out of all the years I've watched this show they putting in these stupid drama is of PIK liars and vampires finish the story you started bring Robin back have Jason found let Lucy Liu wake up in her real body with her real memory can resist trash that you called General Hospital these days what do since I was 18 years old I'm getting sick of it
- May 3, 2013 at 3:00 pm(89) Millie says:
not liking this new LULU. She just not cutting it! Sorry
- May 5, 2013 at 5:14 pm(90) laurieann says:
This is not even like watching General Hospital anymore. The story lines make no sense. New characters are terrible fits. Brit is showing in her pregnancy , we all know u cant get an abortion that far along. Ice princess, really???? wheres Robin? Vampires too?? wtf?? One life to live characters all lave same time. i could go on… so ridiculous… the show is horrible anymore….and ease up on the face lifts . my god! THIS was a TOP NOTCH , BEST EVER SOAP!! WHAT ARE U PEOPLE DOING?????
- May 6, 2013 at 3:54 pm(91) jal says:
Really dislike the new LuLu… very bad acting and story line.
- May 6, 2013 at 6:35 pm(92) JANET says:
- May 7, 2013 at 3:06 am(93) David Z says:
This new Lulu is just not convincing to me. I hate the storyline. She seems too weak, too whiny, and too ready to give up on Dante and hook up with Milo. This long time viewer is disappointed in recent changes to GH. Jason and Robin need to be brought back. If Julie won't come back recast her role again. This isn't working.

Please bring back julie Marie German. No offence but I don!t care for the new lu-lu and really want the old 1 back.

I am so bored with General Hospital! I miss Jason! Why was there no reminiscing about him? No Memorial.No nothing! Hate the new Lulu. She looks so out of it,so weak. Story line is so bad . Just as bad as pickle Lila.
- May 8, 2013 at 9:38 am(96) Jodi says:
I REALLY REALLY hate this new Lulu….I WANT JULIE BACK…..totally love her!! Come back Julie!!!
- May 8, 2013 at 9:57 am(97) Eddie C says:
It's not the new Lulu that is bad, it's the stupid storyline. Wouldn't someone who has amnesia want to know who they are? Why would they write that the character wants to run away from her family? They have basically written her as a new character, not the Lulu of old.
- May 9, 2013 at 1:15 pm(98) kay says:
She sucks as lulu!
- May 9, 2013 at 3:58 pm(99) Cheryl says:
General Hospital needs a little more energy, maybe bringing Todd back since he has a lot of talent and energy…. I believe the characters people loved in llanview on OLTL need to be a part of this show. This way more characters, more story lines will help with the story lines. Love my GH but also miss my OLTL
Just a suggestion
- May 13, 2013 at 2:07 am(100) generalhospital says:
The OLTL actors return this week or next Monday.

HATE HATE HATE Emme Rylan as Lulu – very fake and her personality does not fit the character. I fast forward through all her scenes (memory loss ones in addition to the recaps of memory flashes) – don't know how much longer I can hang on!!!
Hate the new Kate/Connie cast too…
Miss Robin and Jason – Jax also.
People keep talking about these actors leaving by choice but GH made HUGE mistakes by letting go some of the better actors like Ethan – Jax – Steve – Nickolas (so glad to have him back finally!)
- May 9, 2013 at 7:51 pm(102) Laura says:
HATE HATE HATE Emme Rylan as Lulu!! She is fake and in my opinion can not act!! I fast forward through all of her scenes (memory loss and memory flashes both – I actually think I hate her re-acting scenes Julie did worse than the memory loss ones!)
miss Jason – Robin –
hate the new Kate/Connie too
hate the recast Christina (glad she is gone!)
hate the Brit character
hate Patrick / Sabrina together – would be more interesting if she turned out to be his half sister – Dr Noah Drake did get around and her mother was a nurse…….
I understand several of these actors left by choice but boy did GH make HUGE mistakes by letting go of Ethan – Jax – Steve – Matt – Nickolas (glad to see him back finally- hope it is for good!) and the list goes on…
Seriously GH – get it together I don't know how much longer this 30 year fan can hang on!!

don't like the new lulu -yuck! Fast forward her scenes. Miss Julie- please come back

I don't think the new Lulu is a good fit! Wish Julie would come back!
- May 13, 2013 at 1:10 am(105) erika says:
Really people most of y'all act as if they kicked her of the show, do you not stop and think maybe she wants to do more than just being on g.h or just a break you choose to move on and can't be forced back not even if you threaten to stop watching because of her choice. And a far as Jason he probably got offered more money everyone knows if you are given the chance to move up in a position y'all would take the offer would not stay in the same position knowing your gonna get paid more.

i really don't care for the new lulu. she seems like she's one of these "poor little rich girls" that doesn't have anything else to do. i to
o like julie berman. at least she seemed real & had chemistery with dante. if it doesn't work you better fix it. i think the fans are better at picking the actors for the parts than whoever does it

I think Jennette McCurdy aka Sam Pluckett from ICarly would make a better LuLu. Don't like the new LuLu.

- May 17, 2013 at 2:56 pm(112) Judy Donaghue says:
You have shot yourself in the foot. You might as well shoot yourself in the head. Bring back Jason, Lulu, and robin.
Kick Brit in the ass and send that horse face "Kiki" back to the corral, as well as her so called dad. John and his vampire suit can turn into a bat and fly off with the rest of the lousy actors from all of the other failing soap..'s.GH has always been my favorite soap, I always made sure my 5 kids were down for a nap. I am now 73 years old and bed ridden most of the time due to congestive heart failure. Please get them back and let me die in peace.

I am sorry but evertone I have talk to including
myself..we all want Julie Berman back. There's only one Lulu a.d thats Julie Berman. Please bring her back.
- May 22, 2013 at 5:58 pm(116) kakijade says:
I think GH isn't wanting to give up the money to keep their people…easier for them to keep a show running when you're not paying your actors/actresses as much…little do they know, its gonna run them into the ground. Jason is gone and NOT coming back….he's signed a 3 yr. contract with Y&R on CBS. They bent over backwards to accomodate him…something GH never even entertained. SAD! It will be the demise of the show, I guarantee you!
- May 23, 2013 at 3:07 pm(117) sue says:
I agree I don't like the new Lulu plus the story line is getting bad again.

Can't stand the new Lulu – pale, wan, and wimpy….I also forgot how badly the actress who plays Lucy overacts! Sheesh.

What the heck funny stuff are the writers on gh on??? the writing is horrible!!! I never would miss gh before…now i don't care if i watch.. am ab0ut to pull the plug if the writing does not get better. The story lines are all over the place..
- May 26, 2013 at 6:37 pm(120) L.H. says:
"A few months ago", GH seemed fun to watch. It appeared to be going in an exciting new direction. However now, currently, all the storylines on most of the show right now are seemingly going no-where fast! The new actress of LuLu, I felt immediately, was a huge mistake of re-cast!! My gosh, she is so cold, and acts so "spoiled and very immature" for the character of Lu Lu!! She truly isn't a match for "any" of her co-actors either. She makes Dante's acting ability seem to diminish, whereas, he has always been great with the other LuLu actress!! I realize that the other LuLu wanted to leave, and the character of LuLu has been around for a long time. I loved the father-daughter friendship/chemistry that the other LuLu had with Luke and the emotion and chemestry she had with Dante, her husband!! This actress is like a buzz-saw on steroids. No-emotions, and no chemestry with the camera either when she does her lines. It's like she's a robot with flesh. No substance to her personality at all!!! L.H.
- May 29, 2013 at 2:49 pm(121) SLP says:
I think the new story line with a new Lulu and bringing back Todd, Starr, and John back with the same faces but different names is "ridiculous". I've watched GH for many years, now I don't mind missing it. The idea of Todd Manning playing "Franco" is ridiculous, and all of the other cast members acting as if they don't know who Todd Manning is, is laughable.
I'd like to see the real Lulu, Jason & Robin return. It would be nice to see Robin return and take her place next to Patrick. Who thought up this mix-up with characters?!
- May 29, 2013 at 7:34 pm(122) rantig says:
Sure miss the old Lulu!!! Do not like the new Lulu and the story line GH has made for the new Lulu

After all these years I,m leaving GH
- June 1, 2013 at 2:24 pm(124) Hope says:
I do not watch GH anymore, too many changes that are for the worse. Bringing back characters to play that were just on playing other characters??? Nobody can replace LuLu, Jason, or Franco!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- June 4, 2013 at 2:39 pm(125) RJ says:
I haven't been watching GH all that long, but I can certainly agree with most of the posts above. I HATE Brit and hope she loses the baby and her hold on Patrick. As far as the story line and the new Lulu coming on and Jason and John leaving—that all SUCKS!! Glad l 'm not totally hooked.

The new Lulu just doesn't cut it..
- June 9, 2013 at 6:15 pm(127) ani says:
And what's with re-purposing old characters as new characters, Manning is the new Franko (?) and Manning's daughter is now Kiki (?) is GH running out of actors?

And what's with re-purposing old characters as new characters, Manning is the new Franko (?) and Manning's daughter is now Kiki (?) This is ridiculous!!!
- June 18, 2013 at 9:59 pm(129) bgee says:
I can hardly watch GH these days – "Franko" & Kiki are just Manning & Star reincarnated! Never liked OLTL, used to love GH, but now can't stomach Manning – never could. Send OLTL people back to where they came from (including John McBain – all versions) and bring back our old, reliable GH. This mess going on now is a waste of time! Or, perhaps bring back James Franco!
- June 22, 2013 at 11:39 pm(130) PNut says:
Wow. Never seen so many people resistant to change. The show is changing which is what makes it worth watching. I would quit watching if it didn't change including the actors on occasion. To each their own, I guess.

I have been doing something interesting,watching old General Hospital on soapnet, while watching new shows on ABC. Surprised at how good shows used to be compared to new episodes. Can not get used to new bad character actor choices.

You do know that Robin is coming back, right? It can only get better. Also, the Todd is back on OLTL, which means bye bye Franco. If you're a lifer like me, just hang in there. It'll get better in time.

I really miss Jason he should be there for his son even more that he's sick and may die I hope he doesn't god love the cute little guy. I hope the real lulu comes back soon, and Michael gets Morgan's girl because he lied to her about not knowing who her father is on the show!

Most tourists have heard of Goa as a popular holiday destination in India. This tiny state sees millions of tourists each year and the numbers are only increasing. So what is it that brings travelers to this not so developed rustic state?
Many would echo Beaches. And quite rightly, Goa has beaches beyond one's counting skills. However, would it be right in saying that beaches are its sole crowd-puller? Of course not. There has to be something more to Goa than just sun, sea and sands?

It's often said of the characters in Anton Chekhov's plays that 'everyone talks,but no one listens.' The cast of feckless aristocrats inhabit a troubled world of melancholy, loss and ennui. They speak endlessly at each other of their dreams and disappointments, but they rarely pause to listen. Their relationships seem compromised by their own emotional deafness, their solipsism. They live lives of empty chat and listless languor, punctuated only by another trip to the samovar.
I wonder has the world of brand marketing something in common with Chekhov's? Could modern brands be accused of speaking without listening? Talking loud, but saying nothi

Waterfront auction in Claiborne tomorrow
Dirt is on this weekend's menu at the Lincoln Memorial University cafeteria.
A Virginia farmer is planning to sell more than 536 acres of Claiborne County land at an auction on Saturday.
The property for sale includes 363 acres that have been subdivided as part of a project called Pinnacle View Estates, while more than 170 acres of undeveloped land will also be available. Prospective buyers can bid on individual lots -- which range from less than three acres to more than 50 acres -- or combinations of lots, and they will also be able to bid on the entire property.
Carl Carter, a spokesman for the project, said Virginia farmer Randy Ervin owns the property, although it was officially purchased by an entity called Erson Incorporated. According to Claiborne County records, more than 580 acres were purchased by Erson in December of 2007, for $884,760.
Carter said Ervin's team put in about 3,500 machine-hours developing the subdivision and that Ervin planned future work at the site, but is selling the property because of an illness.
The property is located off Goins Chapel Road, about five miles southwest of Lincoln Memorial University.
Russell Seneff, of auction firm Woltz & Associates, said about 25 percent of the undeveloped property is cleared, while the rest is wooded. The sale includes land along the Powell River and, according to a news release, much of the property has views of the Cumberland Mountains, including views of the Pinnacle Overlook.
The auction is slated to take place at noon on Saturday, at the Lincoln Memorial University cafeteria, located at 6965 Cumberland Gap Parkway in Harrogate.

The Union-Recorder
I have watched with interest and concern as a very small but determined and well organized citizens group persists in their efforts to force their will upon our city and county officials.
I am referring to the charter writing committee which has been relentless in its efforts to pressure our county commission and city council into placing the government unification request on the ballot. This proposed charter represents a monumental change in the manner in which Milledgeville and Baldwin County are governed and wisely enough our city council and county commissioners have refused to be forced into making a hasty decision.
This proposed charter is a skeletal document packed full of goals and promises but offers no specific figures, supporting data or factual analysis to provide assurance that these promises can be achieved in a cost effective and efficient manner.
The charter committee is demanding that our elected officials endorse this mere outline and develop the necessary specifics later, not a good way to do business.
At best, this document should serve as a vehicle to facilitate a more detailed discussion and examination as to the feasibility of simply consolidating services through mutual agreement, versus the complex and costly task of building a completely new government.
It was very disturbing to read in The Union-Recorder that this small group is threatening to bypass our local elected officials and go to the state legislature in order to have their way. A proponent of the unification charter was quoted as saying, "Let the votes decide." The voters did decide in the last local election when they elected the commissioners and city council to manage our local government. I trust we will all agree to permit them to do so without outside interference.
I urge our city council and county commission to take ample time to get total community input, and do the necessary research and cost analysis before making a decision on a matter which is so crucial to the future of this city and county.

Arizona Cardinals hire Steve Keim as GM
"As I went through the process over the last week or so of evaluating the field of candidates, speaking to people, both inside of our training facility and outside, I became more and more convinced that Steve Keim was the right man to become the general manager of the Arizona Cardinals," team president Michael Bidwill said Tuesday.
Keim has been with the Cardinals organization since 1999 in various capacities including scout, director of college scouting and director of player personnel. During the last two NFL offseasons, Keim has been a target of other teams seeking new general managers. Keim was a favorite for the Jacksonville job before the Cardinals hired him, but he knew where he ultimately wanted to be.
"Me and my wife talked, my family talked, and this is where we wanted to be all along, and I made that clear to Michael Bidwill from the start," Keim said at his press conference. "You go on these trips and you interview with other teams -- it's a great learning process and the two things that I'd say, that I probably learned the most was when I landed in Phoenix, I realized this is my home and I'm a Cardinal at heart."
Keim's first charge will be helping the organization hire a new head coach. Ken Whisenhunt was fired following a disappointing 5-11 campaign that included a nine-game losing streak. It was the Cardinals' third straight non-winning season following two NFC West championships and a trip to the Super Bowl.
After that, Keim will spearhead the Cardinals' efforts to revamp an offense that ranked last in the NFL in total yardage and 31st in points scored. Keim said finding a quarterback that can jump-start the offense is paramount.
"The bottom line is getting consistency out of that position," he said. "Kevin (Kolb) has done some good things, he's shown some flashes. That being said, the consistency and the durability are questions. That's something we're going to address with the new head coach and that's something that's obviously at the top of our list."
The search for a new general manager began December 31 when the team parted ways with Rod Graves, who had led the Cardinals' personnel department since 2003. The team suffered through a 5-11 campaign in 2012, which led to the front office shakeup.
"In 1999, Rod Graves took a chance on a young scout," Keim said. "His guidance, his friendship, it's something that I'll always appreciate."

My Communities
My Discussions
My Email Digests
Before being diagnosed, I've suffered from anxiety issues since I can remember. It was even extreme enough that I was (mis)diagnosed with "anorexia of some sort" by a doctor when I was SEVEN, yes 7. All because I didn't feel well when it was time to eat. I've dealt with this anxiety since then... so uncomfortable that I can barely do anything without getting up 20 times or just outright leaving, examples: sit through school, job interviews, church, basically anything over approximately 10 minutes (sometimes that's too long). My family doctor gave me Xanax when I was around 15...and of course that helped with anxiety, but also made me insanely tired and unproductive, but I took it because how else could I stay socially normal? (You can only find enough excuses to leave situations before people start thinking you are strange. ...and I was called weird because of my constant fidgeting, inability to pay attention, my "flakiness," constantly changing my mind about decisions ... etc
You get the point if you have ADD/ADHD).
A doctor mentioned ADD/ADHD to my parents a few times, but was dismissed because by miracle I still managed extremely good grades.
At 23, when my daughter was 2 and I was practically abusing Xanax and similar drugs just to "survive" a life with her and be able to function normally as a mom. (You can't really just jump up and dash out of a Target when when you need diapers like right NOW and I've been known to leave a cart of groceries behind because I couldn't bear the thought of standing 5 minutes in line. IT WAS UNTHINKABLE).
So at 23, they re-diagnosed me appropriately with ADHD .. (hyperactivity accounted for all the "anxiety" I was feeling and of course then makes up for all the unexplained unpredictable random behaviors).. and almost immediately after starting on Adderall, I didn't need Xanax. I actually held a job for 8 months (company relocated), I stayed a year sober without any alcohol (self medication in social situations to keep me calm), was no longer lethargic, made appointments, got things accomplished.... like FOR REAL? the rest of the world get to live like this?? and I've suffered something no one wanted to acknowledge for 20+years?
I am now pregnant with my second child.. after reading everything, I'm not really comfortable staying on the drug, but doctors have been literally NO help. No one has offered me an alternative .. and they suggested I stay on it because the benefit out weighs the risk (probably?)
I want to "live", I don't want to damage my child ... and there's no way I can keep up with a 5 year old and be pregnant without medication. I'll be single in nine months--doubt anyone could handle me like that! In a sense adderall is my life, which sucks...but somewhat true
I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else has taken it throughout their pregnancy ... any suggestions of alternatives I could talk to my doctor about? Just thoughts...? It's not a common conversations to talk among friends ... "so yes, I'm taking adderall during my pregnancy.." So I decided to post on here. Just looking to hear some feedback, negative or positive ...
Thanks, Maci
I dont have an answer to your questions, but wanted to let you know that there is someone else is out there... i am right there with you on this!
I am not pregnant yet....but everything you posted is why i am not yet..Married only a year but getting close to 35, My life cannot stop. I dont have the anxiety as severe but (but i am sure it could there) everything else you said is as if i wrote your post.
I would like to know if you find something to help you, and i will let you know if i find anything. I totally understand where you are coming from.
Good Luck,
First of all, congratulations!
My research indicates this question has a very mixed-bag of answers. It's a difficult area to study, and the existing research examines special populations such as drug-addicted mothers. The bottom-line answer is: It depends.
You can read a summary of professional opinion here at a webpage of Massachusetts General Hospital (an internationally recognized center of ADHD research):
The research in drug-addicted women shows that the stimulants do cross the placenta and enter the fetal circulation.
That said, the experts I've interviewed do NOT see stimulants as an absolute contraindiction for pregnant women with ADHD. Rather, it is a relative contraindiction. That is, it depends on the woman's situation and symptom severity.
As you can imagine, the "side effects" of untreated ADHD in an expectant mother can be considerable, too. Think stress hormones, constant frustration, overeating/undereating, and even greater risk of car accidents. Each woman must weigh the risk-benefits with her doctor.
Some experts have pointed to evidence suggesting that older formulations used to treat ADHD, such as nortriptyline, might be safer options.
Overall, I encourage young women with ADHD who are considering getting pregnant to do everything BEFORE they conceive to make their lives easier during pregnancy and after, thus mitigating the need for medication. That means, for example:
1. saving up money to hire help when needed
2. eating well to create a healthy store of vitamins/minerals for the fetus (whose neurological system's foundation is laid almost at conception and depends on these nutrient stores) and ensure a healthier pregnancy.
3. setting up organizational systems and supports
I hope this helps,

I listened to the doctors with the risks vs. benefits.. and of course ANY pregnancy is a lower risk when there is nothing artificial involved.. but the risks of adderall aren't all that bad. I couldn't lie to myself and tell the doctors that I could go 9 months without anything.. unless I was confined to my house. Literally, I am not exaggerating. Someone on the outside of this may look at me and think "I'm just using that as an excuse.. " but no.. I'm literally mentally disabled and incapable of functioning without something to manage my anxiety and etc.. The major risks with the adderall are all weight related.. a concern of course but doctors are watching closely to the baby's weight and growth. Everything is so far so good
Contrary to what I would think, the xanax has much worse effects on the baby than what adderall would have..
I would tell you if you can, to drop it before getting pregnant, but if you can't, talk to you doctors. I'm functioning on this lower dose, being a mother to my daughter still.. I'll let you know more in the future
I am 29 and about 6 weeks along with my second child and I am prescribed 20 mg of methylphenidate. I go to my doctor today and see if she will try to knock me down to maybe 10 mg a day. I see most of you take adderall and not methylphenidate. Is there a reason? Do doctors think the risk is lower with the adderall perphaps?
I myself feel very guilty when i take it but I also know that i would be a complete mess without it as well. I wouldn't get anything done and I probably wouldn't remember anything at that point either haha. I wish their was more info for pregnant women and ADHD but at this point it is up to us. Im scared that my hormones will take over and send me into a deep depression which could harm the baby worse due to my impulsive behaviors. Just know you are not alone in this! I was so refreshed to read this and see their are other women going through the same struggle and choices as I am. Stay strong everyone we have to stick together. Congrats as well:)
As I already said, the adderall seems to have less of an effect as the pregnancy progresses... kind of like being doomed into feeling mentally incapable of functioning for the remainder of my pregnancy...
I just went to the doctor today, heart rate is normal for the baby (something that adderall could affect) and the baby is measuring normal.. results for the ultrasound also normal.
We talked about the adderall again, because I always have concerns.. and he basically weighed it out for me (he's known me a long time).. he said he has seen me on the drug and off the drug and for me the benefit is far outweighing the risk.. it's all individual. To dgcore, for me, it's basically, would I be more of a risk if my anxiety and other issues were full blown than if I were kept on a small dose throughout the pregnancy. I have no idea about methylphenidate.. have never tired it.. I've been prescribed adderall from the beginning
I will update occasionally, because I haven't seen many post that they stayed on adderall through pregnancy.
(I of course am not a doctor, but am just publicly writing my experience. )
I went off my birth control and never noticed a change in my medicine and how it makes me feel. but with in the last two weeks when i take it I cant get off my butt. I just sit there thinking. it doesnt work like it use to but yet I still can tell im on it. I take Adderall 20 Mg 3x a day but due to a shortage they switched me to 15 Mg 4x a day. but I have been only taking 15 to 30 Mg a day.
My biggest concern is that I am possibly pregnant and if I am what complications is it going to cause? I also don't eat like I should and I also have other health issues so if I was and the adderall would harm the kid I would like to prevent that.
I guess what I am trying to ask is that did you notice a huge difference on how the medicine worked once you became pregnant? if you could help me out.
Did you stay on adderall the whole time? what dose? Did your Son have any withdrawal effects or did they give him something for that?
Thank you so much for remembering to keep my posted, you dont know how relieved i am.
take care
I am in corporate real estate/investment banking and at a critical point in my pregnancy - not planned but happy about it_ as I am 8 weeks but also only four months into a National Director's position at a new firm.
Performance at work will be critical for not only me to maintain my job but more importantly to keep my anxiety and depression at bay - both products of my ADHD.
I am currnetlly on Vyvanse and very hesitant to speak with may doctor about my prescription and condition as they will demand I stop all drugs. I had to discontinue Pristiq which has aggravated both my depression and anxiety - in turn my focus has obviously been affected.
Any thoughts on alternatives/ways to deal with this with the medical community, particularly in a State like Texas where these prescriptions are INSANELY monitored, would be helpful and so appreciated.
My son experienced no withdrawal effects from the dose I was on. I was weaned down to 10mg x 2 at the very end but I'm small, so I'm not sure how the 10mg compares with my body weight. I took the it throughout the entire pregnancy.. right up to the day that I went to the hospital. It was kind of like at that point, I didn't want to remove something from my body.. but I will say that I don't think the adderall had the same effect as it did before pregnancy. It certainly didn't keep me focused, and I would be lying if I told you I never took like 20mg at once .. because I did. So I don't think it was the dose, I'm pretty sure it went with the pregnancy. I never felt clear minded, always a little off, even the few times I tried 20mg in once dose. ..My pregnancy went a week over, 41 weeks.. and I had a healthy baby boy that has been an extrememly happy&calm baby. He is now almost 6 months old, healthy.. 100 percentile in height and about 75 in weight...
In summary...
Adderall was never banned by my doctor, although he certainly told me that it would be best if I went without it. He warned me of the known potential side effects and possible issues.... the biggest were: low birth weight, premature birth, and similar to caffiene:a crabby, cranky, not good at sleeping baby...
In my situation, ..I lowered my dosage to 10mg x 2 a day by the end of my pregnancy. The drug lost a lot of it's effect, but it still did a little.. My son was not premature, but one week late.. he was not underweight and is at the 100th percentile in height and up in weight, and he is neither crabby or a bad sleeper...
so like my doctor told me, you need to decide if the risk outweighs the benefit.. what is better for you as an individul in the situation... and let the doctors monitor the baby appropriately for risks you are imposing on the pregnancy.
If this doesn't make sense, I'm typing with a sleeping baby in one arm, so I hope you all get the main point of it.
I'll check this email more often too, promise
I decided to stop my birth control about 5 or 6 months ago, but I am have not stopped my ADHD meds and am not sure I can....at least not stop and still function. I would never want to expose my unborn child to anything that could potentially harm them, but I am really worried about going off of my meds for 9 months. I know people are probably reading this thinking I'm just addicted to my meds and I can/should stop taking them like anyone else breaks and addiction (and they're probably correct about being addicted), but its not as easy as it sounds, especially when your job depends on being alert and mentally sharp while putting in crazy numbers of hours each week.
I guess I don't have any questions or anything helpful to offer, but I just wanted to say how relieved I am to know I'm not the only person going through this battle. Please keep the updates and info coming for those of us still in the beginning stages of this process. Thanks so much!!

CrockPot Halibut in White Sauce with Broccolini
Day 274.
Good morning! I made a halibut in white sauce for Sunday lunch. It was good. It wasn't as good as the parmesan tilapia, but that's probably to be expected. I am having fun experimenting with fish in the crockpot. I wouldn't have been pushed to try it out without this challenge, and now I really don't think I'll go back to the stove top or oven---it's just too easy in the crockpot and I can not get over the no-fish-smell.
The Ingredients.
recipe from Slow and Simple
--24 oz halibut (or other white fish. Halibut is pretty hearty, so adjust cooking time as necessary)
--2 T flour (I used Pamela's)
--1 T white sugar
--1/4 cup butter, melted
--1/3 cup white wine (or chicken broth)
--2/3 cup fat free milk
--juice from 1 lemon
The Directions.
Microwave butter in a glass bowl, and whisk in the flour. In a separate bowl, combine the milk and the white wine. Slowly add the flour mixture to the milk and wine, stirring the whole time. Squeeze in the lemon. If you dump the cold milk and wine into the flour mixture too quickly, the flour and butter will separate again, and the butter will harden and create weird gloppy lumps that will float to the surface.
Ask me how I know this...
Add the sugar to the sauce mixture. Put the fish (mine was frozen solid) in your crockpot, and cover with the milk and wine liquid. Lay the broccolini on top. Cover and cook on high for about 2 hours, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
The Verdict.
It needs salt. My halibut had some bones that I wasn't aware of, which was the biggest problem with this meal. We had it for Sunday Linner? Dunch? (we ate at 3) and all ate a good amount. My kids would have prefered salmon or the parmesean tilapia, though.

What do you mean? When you cook fish in the crockpot your house doesn't get smelly? I haven't tried any of the fish recipes, but if that is one of the perks, I'm all for it!!

yup, no fish smell!
it's wonderful.

I just found your blog, and am so excited to find another crock pot lover! :)
Can't wait to try some of your gluten free recipe's. (I have been gluten free for over a year, and finding good crock pot menu's can be hard)
I also am encouraged that you put substitutions in for the wine listed in the recipe's!
Thanks :))

Halibut is my favorite type of fish and this recipe turned out great. A quick squeeze of lemon and I was in heaven. Thanks Steph!!

I LOVE this blog.
Now, every time I try a new recipe, my kids ask: Was it made in the crockpot?
Thank you for keeping this up.
The crockpot is a lifesaver in most days.
Thanks a gazillion times!

I love that you tell the truth about how your entire family feels about the recipes. I have 3 kids some I'm more likely to try a recipe if someone elses kids liked it!
And no fish smell? That has been my excuse for years for not making fish at home! Now I have to try it!

- Piper Paradise said...
Do you think you could substitute chicken for the fish? We don't eat fish but the rest of the ingredients sound yummy!!
- September 30, 2008 at 8:16 PM
Steph - what are you going to do when the year is up? You're going to keep blogging, right? Right? Will you just start telling us what your family has for dinner, only not always in the crockpot? Cause I would totally read it.
- September 30, 2008 at 8:21 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi there,
Chicken would definitely work, but you would need to cook it longer. Check after 3-4 hours on high, or 5 -6 on low.
The broccolini would be a bit more cooked if in for that long----if your family doesn't like veggies too cooked, you can add them in the last hour or so.

Your site rocks....also got the prevention mag with your faq.
I never thought of trying fish. Might have to give that one a go.

- Jessica said...
Okay, am I the first person to try this recipe? Because you list sugar on the ingredients but didn't say where to put in the directions? My fish is cooking as I type, so I just added the sugar in after I mixed together the butter/flour & milk/wine into a single bowl.
I hope this turns out well.
- October 15, 2008 at 5:17 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Jessica,
that's right. I must have forgotten to put it in the directions. I'll fix it--thanks for noticing!
- October 15, 2008 at 5:34 PM
Tried this with cod tonight. I skipped the broccolini and substituted red for white wine as I didn't want to open a bottle for just this bit. The recipe turned out well. I wouldn't recommend the red wine to others...while the flavor was good, the dark color was not visually appealing. My liquid addition was evidently too quick, as I had the clumping problem you described. From now on, I'll just used softened butter rather than melted, a technique I've found to be a better way. Thanks for yet another great meal!!

Thunder coach Kevin McClelland has continued to promise change.
A recent slump that saw the team lose three out of four games, combined with McClelland's push to make the team better, gave many reason to believe that roster changes were in the works.
Wednesday's 5-1 win over Bloomington also gives fans a reason to have faith in the pieces already in place.
The Thunder's main struggle has been on offense. But against Bloomington the team exploded for five goals, the fifth time this season it has reached the five-goal mark.
"It's huge for us," Thunder forward Les Reaney said. "Last week we struggled a little bit just getting the pucks in low, not getting very many shots on net. (Wednesday) we had 18 shots in the first period."
Reaney entered Wednesday's contest with two goals on the season, then scored two that night. Erick Lizon and Travis Wright also got their first points of the season, assisting on Reaney's third-period goal.
"Guys competing and working, playing the right side of the puck," McClelland said of his team's performance on Wednesday. "We are obviously happy but it's over and done with. Now we've got to go on and look forward to the weekend."
Next for the Thunder is a date with Quad City on Friday.
This will be the third meeting between the teams this year. Quad City won both games, the first on Oct. 28 in a shootout, the second 3-1 on Nov. 16.
Notes — Thunder forward R.G. Flath is eight goals shy of 100 for his career and one assist shy of that same mark.He has five goals on the season.… The Thunder has not given up a power play goal in four contests, killing off 14 straight.

Tennessee lawmakers are remembering former Governor Ned McWherter as a politician of the people who worked across party lines. He died Monday at age 80 after battling cancer.
Before being elected to statewide office, McWherter served as House Speaker. Fellow West Tennessee Democrat Jimmy Naifeh stepped into that role when McWherter became governor. Naifeh, holding back tears, calls him a mentor.
"The way I handled myself in the legislature…I tried to mold myself after … the way he had taught me."
As recently as earlier this year, McWherter was offering tips to current Governor Bill Haslam, a Republican who beat out McWherter's son for the job. In a statement, Haslam says he's thankful for the "wise advice." He calls this a sad day for Tennessee.
Republican Senator Lamar Alexander was elected governor at a time when the General Assembly was controlled by Democrats, including then-House Speaker Ned McWherter. Alexander says a "bipartisan spirit" symbolized the two-term governor's career.
"A lot of it was his willingness to say to a new young governor of the opposite party, 'I'm going to help you succeed, because if you succeed, our state succeeds.'"
Alexander says about week ago he spoke by phone to McWherter as the ailing politician was going to the doctor to see if he had – in his words – "a short fuse or a long fuse."

Its a five to ten minute walk to all the main bars and clubs but is also in a location that is quiet at night. Close to the beach. I would recomend staying here if you are looking for budget acomodation that is clean and convienient to the main attractions. Very good!

Burglary suspect remains in jail
A San Angelo man remained in the Tom Green County Jail on Tuesday on $20,000 bail on a charge of burglary of a habitation.

Jesus Herrera, 46, was booked on burglary of a habitation, a second-degree felony punishable by two to 20 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000.

Here's Something That Has Gone UP in Value Because of Lance Armstrong: The Price of a 30-Second Commercial on 'Oprah's Next Chapter' TVWeek
Here's something connected with Lance Armstrong that's actually gone UP in value due to his confessing that he took performance-enhancing drugs when he was a professional cyclist.
It's the price of a 30-second commercial in the upcoming two-part interview with Armstrong that Oprah Winfrey conducted for her program "Oprah's Next Chapter" on her fledgling OWN network.
According to sources familiar with the ad pricing for the show, a 30-second spot duing the interview is going for somewhere around the $40,000 range for those advertisers seeking to be in the show as a one-time opportunity. That would be measured against the audience of adults 18-49 who will tune in to the interview.
Comparatively, "Oprah's Next Chapter" usually gets about $12,000-$15,000 per 30-second commercial in the demo.
Oprah's two-part interview with Armstrong airs on OWN on Thursday and Friday nights, Jan. 17-18, 2013.
