Tuchek asks for mistrial
Fri, Nov 1st, 2002

Posted in Features
Less than one week after being found guilty in Fillmore County District Court on nine counts of arson in the April 7 fire that destroyed two historic buildings in downtown Lanesboro, the lawyer for John Tuchek has filed papers in Fillmore County District Court asking for a new trial.
Tuchek�s lawyer, Marc Kurzman of Minneapolis, based his written request to Judge James Fabian on the grounds that there was misconduct on the part of the prosecution during the trial and that errors of law occurred. Kurzman also stated in his brief that the verdict is not justified by the evidence.
Kurzman claims that prosecutor Peter Orput, from the Attorney General�s Office, �introduced extensive evidence (such as how tragic it was for the victims of the fire to suffer loss of income, property and inconvenience) having no bearing upon the elements to be proven, but which was calculated (and apparently successfully so) to inflame the passion and prejudice of the jury; thus depriving Mr. Tuchek of a fair trial.�
Mr. Kurzman further claims that the state�s case was circumstantial and that the defense was not allowed to introduce witnesses who could provide an alternative theory as to the origin and sequence of the fire.
The defense claims that statements taken from a witness by investigators at the scene of the fire, but not allowed at the trial, could have substantiated Tuchek�s claim that the fire started on a trailer. They also claim that a polygraph taken by Tuchek, if admitted in court, would have supported the innocence of Tuchek of first degree arson.
During the trial, the defense maintained that Tuchek used a rag with candle oil to start cardboard on fire in a trailer near the Little River General Store building and that the fire was then spread by wind to cardboard next to the building. Kurzman admitted that Tuchek was guilty of the lesser charge of fifth degree arson, but not the other charges where intent to destroy or damage the buildings was essential to guilt.
After getting the chief investigator in the case, Fillmore County Sheriff Investigator Daryl Jensen, to admit under cross examination in court that he did not have any evidence that Tuchek intended to destroy or damage the buildings, the defense chose not to call any witnesses in their own defense, including the defendant.
The state on the other had claimed that Tuchek used an accelerant (gasoline) to start a �hero� fire on a stack of cardboard next to the Little River General Store in an attempt to win back his ex-girlfriend, Anessa Dawley, who had broken up with him on April 6. The state called expert witnesses that showed that the fire was started in cardboard next to the building, and not on the trailer, and that an accelerant was used.
State prosecutor Peter Orput called Kurzman�s action a frivolous motion and that �Tuchek�s money would be better spent making restitution to his victims.�
�He (Kurzman) had every opportunity to subpoena and call any witness he wanted to,� Orput told the Journal by phone. �He chose not to and for a reason.� Orput has filed a response to Kurzman�s motion with the District Court.
Judge James Fabian will hear the motion for a new trial on November 18 in Houston County. Sentencing for Tuchek is scheduled for December 16 in Preston.
Tuchek has been remanded to the Minnesota Correctional Facility in St. Cloud.

This isn't dead, but they don't update the MODDB site
At All Under Heaven, our goals are threefold. First, we want to create a mod that is fun to play. Playability is very important to us, we want to insure that the player enjoys every moment of their experience of AUH and comes away with a new reason to pop in their copy of Medieval 2 from time to time. Second, we want to create a mod that conforms to a degree of historicity and respect for the cultures we seek to represent. Asia is an exciting continent with a very long and rich history, and the Mongol Invasions in particular were one of the most turbulent times in not only their history, but the history of the world. We want to create a game which will teach the western world more about the eastern world and hopefully kindle interest in furthering their knowledge of the region and the times, and give our audience from the eastern world a game which they can feel sufficiently represents their culture. Third, we want to have fun doing it. If a mod is not fun to make, then there's no real point in making it. The end product will hopefully be something that appeals to many users, but in the end we're creating this mod because we want to play it.

This isn't dead, but they don't update the MODDB site
Say goodbye to this dead mod and say hello to Falcom Total War mod to play Asia. They got Japan, Chinese, and etc...
Look for this on TWC, and you'll see its not dead...
I am big a fan of this mod. Hope it'll be released sometime soon!
This mods still alive, just no ones updating the moddb page... heres a link
i was understanding before but come on this must be either dead or on another sit because 1 year without news is just ridiculous
i don't know or you have seen it dude, but the mod is dead like dead can be....
Medieval II multiplayer is dead and the game is to follow. There are days where I log on and I'm the only one online. By the time this mod gets release, I don't think that many people would be playing it. They will most likely have moved on to better games and other mods for them...

Happiness interview: Jonah Lehrer.
I'm a huge fan of Jonah Lehrer's work-and there's a lot of it, because he's insanely prolific-and I'm tremendously interested in the subjects he covers both in his books and in his writings for periodicals like the Wall Street Journal. I rushed out to read How We Decide and Proust Was a Neuroscientist, and I just got my hands on his brand-new book, Imagine: How Creativity Works (an instant New York Times bestseller).
His writing often touches on the issue of happiness, so I wanted to hear what he had to say.
Gretchen: What's a simple activity that consistently makes you happier?
Jonah: I'm a walker. When I feel stuck or stumped or stressed, I go for a stroll, the longer the better. The actual location doesn't really matter. I can derive equal satisfaction from the crush of pedestrians in Manhattan and the desolate landscape of the California desert. I like the beach and the hills, the cities and exurbs.

Price Black Double Dot:
1.Quicker warm up than the top brand
2.Made in UK.
3Much cheaper,
4.Doesn't shine up as quickly as other brands
5.seemed to be easier to see,stronger black in colour?
It is said Price have made balls in the UK since 1936,so with quicker warmup, cheaper,longer lasting they are a good buy.

Clearly the flux field built up within the A-L's core is less affected by the pull of magnetic north when oriented horizontally.Though my amplifiers utilize Plitron's I have found it sonically benificial to rotate them approx. 180 degrees.
Thanks to both Ray and thsmith for this evaluation. Lots of time, effort and $ were involved to add to the knowledge base. :cool:
I will confirm with A-L that the specs for the minimum order run will be identical to the AV-047528 and not just a modified Y-236956 1000va. I was in touch last week and melonie said that she would check to see how there were coming along with the pricing and lead time. I will check on Monday again.
I'm in for the AV--047528 if this happens. I probably won't be checking this thread a lot, so please pm me if this actually goes through.
I don't know. The only common ground amp I own is the 16 year old Adcom GFA-555 Mk II used in my office system at work. The 1000VA A-L transformer increased sound stage width and depth and overall clarity and detail compared to the custom interconnect cable. The system components are:
Nakamichi CA-5AII Preamplifier (vintage 1990)
Yamaha TX-1000U Digital Tuner (vintage 1993)
Yamaha CDX-1110U CD Player (vintage 1988)
Adcom GFA-555 Mk II Power Amplifier (vintage 1995)
Polk Audio SDA CRS+ Speakers (extensively modified, vintage 1989)
Signal Cable Analog 2 Interconnects
Monster Cable Z2 Reference Speaker Cable
Signal Cable Power Cords (Pre and Power Amps)
I have a Sunfire 300/2 (1995-recently refreshed by Rita's) powering my 1.2TL's...XO's are fully modded to include tweets, Larry's rings and the Solen 10g 16mH inductors. I also have fully upgraded 1C's (minus the Solen inductor) powered by a Parasound 1500a. On both systems the sound stage width and depth is great, but I'd like to see a bit more from the mid range. I'm leaning towards going in on the transformer group buy and taking this project on. Bottom line, was the AI-1 a dramatic change to your systems or just an incremental move in a positive direction?
It was a Night and Day change using the AI-1 Dreadnought..
JayCee, when I built mine (the original AL 800VA transformer) I heard improvement with my common ground amp described here:
But that was without burn in, which definitely improves the sound. That initial review was also written using crappy Monster speaker cable to connect to the AI-1. When I upgraded to a litz DIY design the improvement was even greater. To sum up, bigger soundstage, more relaxed and realistic sounding instruments, cleaner/clearer vocals.
If the 1000VA sounds even better this one's a no brainer.
I was on vacation when your thread was created and missed it entirely. Definitely seems like a worthwhile pursuit with the possibility for appreciative gains...and will be fun to try.
I've decided to push ahead and I placed my name on the group buy list for 2. If it doesn't work out for either or both of my rigs, I'm sure I'd be able to offer them down the road to a CP member that did not have the opportunity to do this right now.
Thanks for the link and your impressions,
I cannot reply to your PM because your in box is full..
I'm in if the AV-047528 order gets done!!!!
Larry, I hope I've not missed something and this isn't a stupid question, but if IIRC your 1.2's have the Solen inductors installed. Since mine do, too, does your comment above apply to using the Dreadnought in conjunction w/the Solens?
Yes!! And Yes!! Ray hit a home run with this last Avel transformer and I just got lucky they found the one I received, She originally told me there wasn't anymore to be had only to email me a couple days later that she found one and that it was the last one to be had..
Don't get me wrong the 800 works great (better then the original AI-1 and better then strapping the negs on the amp) the new AL 1000 takes it to a new level and my system sounds really sweet right now.
I haven't been upgrading anything for awhile now but my house has been my priority at the moment, new paint and gutters and having the roof looked at this week. So my between that and the Camaro my rig is taking a back seat for a few, but I'm very happy with it at the moment so no big deal..
Figure 1. The CRS+'s are 5'-1-1/2" apart inside edge to inside edge. I sit 8' back. The room is 11" x 11".
With the custom heavy gauge (9 AWG) interconnect cable, the sound stage extended wall to wall, but height was limited to the top of the speakers and depth was limited to the space between the front plane of the speakers and the rear wall.
With the 800VA Dreadnought, the aerial shape of the sound stage changed from a shallow rectangle to a wide "m" shape. Expressed another way, the sound stage shape changed to a crescent moon with a bump in the middle. The crescent peaks and the middle bump extended 1 foot from the front speaker plane. Sound stage height increased to just above, or up to 6" above, the top edge of the speakers a depending on the music.
With the 1000VA Dreadnought, the aerial shape of the sound stage was a deeper "m" shape. The crescent peaks and the middle bump extended 2 feet from the front speaker plane. Sound stage height increased to just below the top of the bookcases depending on the music.
I was surprised at the degree of spatial spread. Sound images that were confined to the space between the speakers moved in front of the speakers with the 800VA Dreadnought. The same images were moved to the side walls with the 1000VA Dreadnought.
Figure 2. On either side, the sound stage curves along the side wall: 1 foot forward with the 800VA
Dreadnought and 2 feet forward with the 1000VA Dreadnought.

Figure 4. Top to bottom: Nakamichi CA-5AII Preamplifier (vintage 1990), Yamaha TX-1000U Digital Tuner
(vintage 1993), Yamaha CDX-1110U CD Player (vintage 1988).
Figure 5. Adcom GFA-555 Mk II Power Amplifier (common ground amplifier, vintage 1995).
Figure 6. Comparing 1000VA Dreadnought on left and 800VA Dreadnought on right. The 1000VA won.
Figure 7. I shouldn't have done this. I took the PS Audio Power Plant Premier (PPP) AC regenerator from my
master bedroom system to try it out in the office system. Now I want one for the office.
Since I usually have to listen at "background music" sound levels, I appreciated the greatly increased low level detail, particularly with regard to image weight and bass definition and articulation. I initially thought the 800VA Dreadnought would be overkill in this small space, but it brought Such Good Sound that I was tempted to try the 1000VA Dreadnought...and after that, the AC regenerator.
The AC regenerator brought further enhancements in clarity, detail and holography, plus a small enhancement of depth beyond the boundary of the rear wall. However, the overall improvement with the AC regenerator was much smaller in degree than the improvement of the 1000VA Dreadnought over the 800VA Dreadnought.
In a small space, with vintage components of moderate resolution, including a classic common ground power amplifier, both the 800VA and 1000VA Dreadnought brought substantial improvements in clarity, detail, image weight and spatiality compared to a heavy gauge (9 AWG) custom interconnect cable. In the future, when I am more dedicated to audio than I am now, I can envision getting a used PPP AC regenerator for the office system...but I am trying to talk myself out of it.

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...Devils/mad.gifYou are trying to talk yourself out of buying new audio gear? I can't imagine that you are trying too hard.
Really, I am trying to talk myself out of getting a PPP...because I really want a P3 AC regenerator for the office system.
Nice office setup DK.
What type of wires did you use to connect the Dreadnought to the CRS?
And cmon you know what the results were going to be with the PPP . Especially with all of those lights, EEs, and electrons floating around your work.:cheesygrin:
PS If you don't mind me asking who did the art work?
I'm a bit lost here.
Are you saying that all SDA models sound better?benefit with a custom external transformer over just a custom SDA cable even when using a common ground amp?
Sorry for neglecting to mention that. The Dreadnought cables are Monster Cable Z3 Reference speaker cable.
Well, I try not to take things for granted...the PPP has not always resulted in a positive outcome, especially when it comes to running power amps.
I did the artwork. The metal wall sculpture in my office is a copy of the acrylic "Music Signal" wall sculpture in my home theater room.
No, I am saying that with the common ground amplifier I use, two custom transformers sounded much better than a custom interconnect cable. Other forum members have tried the transformer interface with other common ground amps and liked the results.
As are all of my modification reports, this is just a discussion of results and a suggestion for the interested reader to consider.
I built the AI-1 interface using the the 800VA A-L transformer per DK's diy instructions, and it brought substantial improvement to my system with my common ground amp. IMHO and with my set up it's a no brainer - one of the better mods I've done, perhaps just a step below Xover upgrades.
I've ordered the 1000VA transformer in the group buy - totally stoked to get that in the system.
Where did everyone purchase the 800VA Avel Lindberg Y236906? Looking to make one for future use. Googling gives me very little info. Just curious if they have to be bought direct from the factory or somewhere else.
I'm not sure I understand how this mod works exactly in conjunction with how it provides an improvement. I also fail to see what the transformer does when its just a single wire connecting each speaker.
I'm going to do some searching and reading on this today.
It's not a single wire, there is a postive and a negative, this is one reason why only certain SDA's can use the AI-1. Other SDA's are wired differntly. I was unsure all these years that it would provide a benefit for common ground amps, but apparently it does. For non-common ground amps it isolates the grounds of the amplifier so as not to damage the amp and/or speakers. In essence when using a non-common ground amp you are shorting the signal path when the SDA interconnect is in place, the isolation transformer eliminates the short.
There has been a lot of discussion over the years, but the search function is difficult to use. Try searching using Google. I'm sure others will chime in to either correct me if I misstated something or expand on the subject.
Thanks for the info Brock.
I assumed the blade portion was strictly for support but I see it is also attached to the negative terminals and carries a signal for the use of isolation. That makes sense now as to how it isolates with the use of non-common ground amplifiers.
I need to learn how the transformer works WITH common-ground amps to understand how this works to improve things. This is quite fascinating. Christ I'm going to end up dropping more in mods then I paid for my speakers. :razz: But oh the end result...

Made from Vogue 8815. I like the balanced proportions of the peplum and bodice. The view that I sewed (view "B") consists of the front, back with zippered center, front skirt, back skirt, and the sleeves.I decided not to Burda Style's version due to the raised front seam of the bodice and skirt, which would not be a flattering look for me.

I will confess that having grown up in the Irish countryside where our milk came straight from the cow—and I was motivated to get up earlier than my siblings so I could scrape off the cream that had gathered on top of the can of milk to put on my daily bowl of porridge, which was also sprinkled with a generous helping of sugar—it was quite challenging initially to omit these foods from my diet. To this day, I miss the creamy sweetness reminiscent of my childhood and am constantly coming up with new ways to satisfy this craving without the cream and sugar, which I look forward to sharing with you.
After several months on a macrobiotic diet, I experienced such profound changes in my energy levels and general health that I knew I was on the right path. From childhood, I had been plagued with chest problems—I had pneumonia at an early age, my tonsils and adenoids removed and was constantly getting coughs, colds and chest infections. I realized after changing my diet that my favorite foods may not have loved me quite as much as I loved them. I was so excited by the dramatic changes in my health that I continued on a long and enlightening journey exploring the connection between food and health. This has taken me around the world and into the lives of many wonderful people and has evolved into a career that, coming from my humble roots in rural Ireland, I never could have dreamed possible. Macrobiotics originated in Japan and has its roots in the ancients Taoist yin/yang philosophy. Everything in life has its complementary or antagonistic opposite. We have male and female, darkness and light, hot and cold, sweet and savory. We can observe these opposite energies at play in all of life's manifestations and in the foods we eat. According to the macrobiotic system, yin energy is female in nature and manifests in foods that are soft and sweet and create coolness and relaxation when consumed. Foods that grow above the ground and on trees tend to be more yin. Yang foods are denser, drier, more salty and tend to grow on or below the earth, an example is root vegetables. Yang foods create more energy and focus when consumed. Everything in life, including our food, is created by the interplay of yin and yang energies, beginning with our own creation, when male and female come together to create new life. In the early days of macrobiotics, because many of our teachers were of Japanese origin, there was a tendency to adhere to an Asian type diet and many of the ingredients we used in our cooking were imported from Japan. However, if you look at the principles of macrobiotics, it gives an understanding of the energetic properties of foods and how to create balance in our diets and lifestyle, then you can see that it really is about eating foods from our own natural environment and in as close to their natural, unadulterated state as possible. If you observe nature, you will find that there is a perfect design in the natural order of things. For example, foods that grow in a tropical environment tend to be more yin or cooling in nature, and by consuming those foods we maintain a sense of harmony with our climate and environment. And vice versa. In more temperate or colder climates, we find foods that create more warmth when consumed. I will go into a more in-depth explanation of the principles of macrobiotics in a future post and hope to give you an understanding of how to improve your health, energy levels and inner and outer beauty by applying these simple, commonsense principles in your own life. In the meantime, just in time for Thanksgiving, enjoy this special No-Sugar,No-Dairy Pumpkin Pie recipe that I've created. Keep Reading Advertisement

Jan 22nd 2013 08:20 am Too Many Cooks
I don't share Arlo's pique. I think it would be a good thing if everyone did cook at home more, from basic ingredients. I try. I know others who do. However, I'm afraid home cooking is far from ubiquitous, or even a fad. I remember my mother's meals when I was a boy. Of course she aimed for tasty and beneficial, but it's not like she had to strive for it. Her meals were naturally healthy by virtue of the whole food she prepared. Given the diet-related problems we have, I don't see anything wrong with getting back to a little of that. As I said, I try.

I used to like to listen to NPR, but then it started to get way to political for my taste. The only program on NPR that I listen to now is Car Talk. But then my cooking skills are limited to Kraft macaroni and cheese with tuna fish.

With a retired wife, I benefit from a lot of home cooking, and we both do try to keep it healthful. Sure, she makes goodies some time, but we get our veggies, steamed or oven roasted on a cookie sheet with olive oil sprayed on them and we have a meal of cleansing pinto beans with some onion and tomato once a week. and when some strange cake recipe she saw in the paper doesn't taste the exact way she thought it would, my co-workers get to enjoy her "mistakes"
David in Austin on 22 Jan 2013 at 9:11 am #
Home cooked can be home grown. It's time to start planning the spring garden. The way to have wholesome, fresh, food is to grow it yourself! Lettuce and leafy greens are super easy. Beans, peas, squash, cucumbers, corn, peppers and tomatoes are all also uncomplicated. If you've never grown anything, start small. Buy a couple of tomato plants at a local nursery or a big box store. Find a sunny spot in a flower bed, dig a hole, plant, and water occasionally. If you don't have a yard, you can use containers on a patio. Once you've started popping fresh cherry tomatoes from the vine to your mouth, or have the first fresh sliced tomato of the season on a sandwich, you'll be hooked.
Before long, you will be eating all sorts of fresh garden produce, and saving the extra for later by freezing, dehydrating, or canning. There's nothing like knowing exactly what chemicals were or were not used on your vegetables. By growing at home, you can pick and eat everything at the peak of ripeness and flavor. The grocery store will probably always be cheaper, but not nearly as satisfying as something that you grew yourself.

As some of you folks who caught my post know my Mom died on Thanksgiving and I am reminded of her cooking at all times. My sister and fiance' are on a cruise right now(the one Mom went on every year for the last 5 or so) in remembrance of Mom, I did nto go as last time I did my weight went up by 15 lbs in two weeks and it took me 2 years to lose it. That said, I have been cooking for myself(and Hannah when she is home, the fiance's daughter for the first time in years)…..I am still good with this, but the issue is I guess I make more fattening stuff than I usually eat. i am up 8 lbs(170#) and she has only been gone for a week! What am I going to weigh by Feb 2nd when she returns 200#?
Food is really life. I grew up with home made soups and everything from scratch, the only cans in my parents house were tomato products and canned corn, everything else was fresh. Trying to reenact those days here and now….but they are Symply Fargone
Bookworm on 22 Jan 2013 at 9:29 am #
My Mother who would have been 90 this year rarely cooked fresh food. She absolutely loved canned foods, lunch meats, take-outs, and those new-fangled frozen foods. TV dinners were a family favorite. I've had to learn to cook real food on my own. I envy those of you whose mothers cooked!
Blinky the Wonder Wombat on 22 Jan 2013 at 9:38 am #
My mother is a good cook, but the first thing I think of from her kitchen is cakes. She made a point of regularly cooking a cake of one sort or another. Every school lunch included a slice of cake and my after school routine always started with another slice of cake and a glass of milk. Probably why to this day pastries are my Waterloo when it comes to dieting.
Don in Oklahoma on 22 Jan 2013 at 9:53 am #
I have been working on changing my lifestyle for over a year now. I am down about 40 pounds so far. It seems the key is to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits while dodging the pre-prepared processed foods. I have been using a program called Lose-It to track my eating and exercising and it seems to work for me. Since I track everything, it makes me think about what I am eating and it encourages me to eat more of the healthy foods.
Nancy in Bucks County on 22 Jan 2013 at 11:10 am #
Over the holidays, our daughter and family joined us. They have gone Vegan. We managed 3 weeks of meat-free meals together. And I lost 3 pounds! We are back to meat eating again, though much, much less. Feeling more energy and love the challenge of finding new recipes. Made a delightful minestrone soup last night. Even had success with 'no fry' fried rice and baked eggrolls.

David in Austin:
It is 7 degrees and minus 10 wind chill factor. I think even the internet is frozen, so it might be a while to plan that summer garden.
I love the Food Network show "Chopped" as contestants have to utilize the food that is in the basket. Some of the items are off the wall, but for the most part it reminds me of the way that my Mom cooked. With 7 kids, it was hard to manage to have food on hand and some of her meals were very creative.
She eventually would work nights and my Dad would work Midnights, so each kid had to learn to cook. I did it for the longest, about 4 years. I was not a fan of cooking, but enjoy it immensely today. I have gone to gluten free bread and noodles and just trying to keep that out of the diet has helped me to lose weight or as in the past few months not gain weight.
Ursen on 22 Jan 2013 at 1:11 pm #
Mom is a great cook, but now that she is cooking for one it is hard for her to adjust amounts. She started at the age of eight, and was cooking for the field hands by the age of ten. With a tight budget when we were little she fed us well. Only 3 of the 6 of us have learned to cook at all. One of my sisters can barely boil water, and was complaining to Mom recently that she taught everyone to cook but her. Which doesn't make sense because only half of us ever learned to cook, and that by emulation not direct teaching. But I am lazy, I would rather cook with a $10.00 bill at Mc D's rather than to cook like I really can.
Ghost Rider 6 on 22 Jan 2013 at 1:22 pm #
There are some excellent, science-based diets out there, and there are some that are irrational dreck. So caveat emptor, y'all. And don't depend only on the diet; regular activity, if you are physically able, is just as important a part of a weight-loss regimen.
The math is simple…3500 calories equals one pound of body weight. Cut your caloric intake by 250 calories per day and increase the number of calories you burn per day by 250 (or some combination thereof), and you should pretty consistently lose a pound per week, or 50+ pounds per year. (Don't crash diet…the weight tends to come back just as fast as you lost it. And don't do starvation diets…your body's metabolism will shift into low gear to protect you from starving, and you still won't lose much.) At the same time, try to make sure the calories you do take in are nutritious ones, especially from fresh fruits and vegetables. But don't cut out too much protein. (Meat is not the only source of protein.)
Steve from Royal Oak, MI on 22 Jan 2013 at 2:16 pm #
Ghost: You speak a lot of sense when it comes to dieting. However, I am still not sure why I lost 30 lbs and have stopped losing weght for about 11 months. I guess that I need to reconfigure. But dieting IS hard and I am living proof of it.
When I got out of the hospital for my hip, I was about 15 lbs heavier than when I entered. My left leg was the size of Nebraska. I continued to drink plenty of water ( an important fact that you left out in your post on dieting) and made numerous trips to the bathroom. I ended up losing about 2 lbs a day, which was really neat to see and I was below my weight that I was when I entered the hospital.
I have gotten back into walking. I was doing 3.3 miles a day just before the surgery. I have been walking a mile a day since I returned to work on the 2nd, using the cane to steady myself. With the 10 below windchill today, I think that mile should be more like 1.3!

Ahh, food and cooking. Have a large pot of homemade bolognese sauce simmering. It will top pasta and be overdressed with fresh mozzarella for our evening feast. Good cooking can be learned at any age; find a style of cooking you like and a good teacher who can show you the correct basics.
I have cooked some surprising meals overseas on what could be procured at a local market and prepared with a microwave or hotplate. Successful cooking is about how you combine the ingredients, not what tools your kitchen is equipped with. -

I'm also a fan of Chopped. Recently, the desert basket contained D'Anjou Pears (Spelling might be wrong because I LOATH pears.), Honeycomb cereal, Soy Sauce and Cocktail Franks. Watching the two remaining contestants try to work the franks into their dishes was interesting, to say the least.
sandcastler on 22 Jan 2013 at 3:49 pm #
Hmmm, crush the cereal, purée a pear, add soy and make a batter. Dip franks in batter and deep fry; does that qualify?
Robin in FL on 22 Jan 2013 at 4:04 pm #
Our mothers went to the same cooking class!
Yes, exercise is good but not necessarily for weight loss. Often it makes you hungrier. Does me.
Steve from Royal Oak, MI on 22 Jan 2013 at 4:21 pm #
I've seen them all, but don't recall that one. However, if you treat the franks like bacon, you can incorporate into about anything. One thing that I have learned from all of these contest shows on the Food network is that when in doubt, throw some bacon in it. Even the most sophisticated palettes, maybe especially the sophisticated, LOVE bacon. -
Ghost Rider 6 on 22 Jan 2013 at 4:22 pm #
It does me, too, Robin. But the trick is that regular exercise cranks up your metabolism so that you burn more calories, not just while exercising, but while at rest. Plus the cardio and stress reduction benefits.
Steve, sounds as though you had some edema problems, which are common after many surgeries. But yes, drink lots of water, especially before you eat. Helps make you feel more full, while eating less.
Mindy on 22 Jan 2013 at 4:25 pm #
Nancy, GOTO http://www.meatoutmondays.org and sign up for free vegan recipes each Monday [yes, Ghost, that's why it's meat out MONDAYS]. We're not vegan but a lot of good recipes and referenced sites come across in that weekly newsletter. Had not bad experiences involving spam or anything related to the site, either.
JJ, I hate to say this but my mother was a very limited cook. Her fried chicken and pork chops were great, so were her dumplin's and pinto beans and cornbread, but she really didn't do a whole lot else that was really memorable. My Dad, now, that was a cook. Unfortunately, Mom got all irate and chased him out of the kitchen a lot. It's been said, and I agree, that MOST of the great chefs are male. John is a great cook, and I say that because it's true, not just to lure him into the kitchen. With us, "home cooking" is a way of life and we have no desire or intention for changing that. A hint for health conscious non-vegans…Hebrew National Franks for the best hotdogs around even microwaved and French bread sliced thin instead of white bread buns. No, I don't own stock…
Mark in TTown on 22 Jan 2013 at 5:10 pm #
Mindy, my opinion why chefs are mostly male is simple, they chose to do it because they have an interest in it. For women, on the other hand, it seems to me it would be the busman's holiday. They do it all the time, why make a career of it?

TruckerRon on 22 Jan 2013 at 7:37 pm #
GR6, what explains the plateaus I've hit when I've been consistent in what I eat and how I exercise? I'll lose 5 pounds over a month, hold at that weight for a few weeks, then start losing again.
Charlotte in NH on 22 Jan 2013 at 7:45 pm #
Mindy, Hebrew National Franks sure do taste good. Used to, anyway, for I haven't bought any for 20 years probably. Remember, one reason for their tastiness is, lots of fat. Also lots of salt, and those pesky nitrates and nitrites, which all frankfurters have, of course. Yummy they are, but healthy they're not.
Steve in Royal Oak, I keep being surprised at the difference between your left hip surgery and mine. My left femur broke when the dog … someone else's … pulled me over and I hit the ground hard. I was holding her leash in my left hand. The surgeon seemed to think it was pretty routine, no complications. The end of the bone got replaced, but the "socket" is my own original. All went OK, but where you went home in a few days, walking, I spent the months of June and July in a rehab facility, a long time in a wheelchair. Physical Therapy and OT every day, but not weekends. Slowly and painfully I began to take steps with a walker, and I went home using a walker.
Some of it must be, I'm a lot older than you, and hadn't been walking much or doing any exercise (now I'm sorry). My leg didn't swell up at all, anyway, as yours did. What do you and the other Villagers think?
Jerry in Fl on 22 Jan 2013 at 7:51 pm #
Smile, my father, at age 82, had the surgery and died a week later. It wasn't caused by the surgery though. It was neglect by the rehab facility.
Steve from Royal Oak, MI on 22 Jan 2013 at 8:13 pm #
I have learned thru my relatively few years (56) that ALL surgeries and bodies are unique and everyone is different. My BIL had hip replacement this summer and all was going well when he woke up one morning in great pain. His femur broke and he had to have replacement of the replacement surgery. During that time, my leg siezed up while I was walking and I finally made the appointment to see the surgeon. We did have a conversation about the importance of getting the right surgeon from my BIL, but eventually he found the right Dr. My BIL had lost 100 lbs, is diabetic and now has the beginning of Parkinson's. He is about 65, so we are as different as two people can get.My Dad waited to have the surgery for too long. His health declined and he had to improve it just to have the surgery. After it, his kidneys failed and he was on dialysis for 2 1/2 years until he died. He was very much on my mind as I was not nearly in the same pain as he was and yet the Dr. said it was bone on bone and marveled that I could still walk. With the swelling, I thought of how difficult it was for my Dad without the use of his kidneys. I believe that I am a very lucky man. It is never too late to eat healthier and start moving, both physically and mentally, so I advise everyone to give it a try.
sideburns on 22 Jan 2013 at 8:30 pm #
Yes, Sandcastler, that would have counted. I was expecting somebody to crush the cereal, add some butter (and maybe soy) and use it for the crust of a tart, the way you would with Graham crackers. Didn't happen.
Nancy in Bucks County on 22 Jan 2013 at 9:30 pm #
Many thanks, Mindy. Tonight was broiled tilapia, beans and a salad. Makes up for the Buffalo wings and martinis of last night.
Ghost Rider 6 on 22 Jan 2013 at 10:27 pm #
Trucker, reaching weight-loss plateaus during an extended period of weight reduction is to be expected. As we reduce caloric intake, our bodies make up for the energy deficit by releasing stored glycogen from our muscles and liver. When glycogen is burned for energy, it releases water, so that the considerable weight loss most of us initially realize is mostly due to water loss.
You reach a plateau because your metabolism slows as you lose muscle. You burn fewer calories than you did at your heavier weight even when doing the same activities. Your weight-loss efforts have reached equilibrium with your now slower metabolism. That means that to lose more weight, you need to increase activity or further decrease the calories you eat.
It's not that Mother Nature is being a biatch, it's just your body's survival strategy to protect you from starvation kicking in.
Mark in TTown on 22 Jan 2013 at 11:35 pm #
Charlotte in NH, actually all hot dogs don't have the nitrites and nitrates. Look for the word Uncured on the label. That means they haven't had those added. Even Oscar you-know-who makes them now.
curmudgeonly ex-professor on 23 Jan 2013 at 1:19 am #
Charlotte/NH: When I was contemplating my first knee replacement, a then-friend (retired nurse) convinced me by relating the tale of how she persuaded her own mother to have a knee (both?) replaced when her mom was 84! That was 15 years ago, and her mom keeps on getting along – living alone, too. More power to her….
Age may or may not make things more difficult. As with SO many things, each case is different. [well, duh!] -

Robb, according to all the "IN" magazines and radio/television sources, American women with any class at all never cook, especially if they're married and their husbands don't wish to turn them into "scullery maids" and other derogatory terms, "demeaning" them by even suggesting that they do something as unacceptable as COOK! John doesn't avoid taking me out by telling me that he loves my cooking; the way he eats is proof positive of his appreciation! I just happen to enjoy cooking, I think I provide meals as good as if not better than I'd find in most restaurants, and I know darned well that I fix larger servings at a much smaller cost! John, on the other hand, is a splendid cook in his own right and he loves to cook, which works out great, giving us both down time from the "menial chores" the magazines talk about. It's really not unusual if the mood hits us for me to be in the kitchen fixing something I want while John works next to me fixing what he wants…and we generally end up sharing. He does come up with some great recipes and threatens to publish a cookbook of my favorites [and his, or course] plus a cookbook called "Husband Can Cook Too!" I bet it would sell! He just came up with two books, one copyrighted 1932 and containing about 150-200 recipes for deer and other wild game that we can't wait to try out. [John no longer hunts for sport, says his taste for that went south the first time someone sent rounds downrange with the intention of taking him out; friends do bring us a lot of their game which definitely does not go to waste...we're having Vegetable Venison Stew today, actually!] The other one is dated 1888 and is a homemade Louisiana Cajun Game & Stuff cookbook with combinations neither of us has ever heard of! That's going to be fun. I just hope we can find a lot of alligator and wild boar….forget the snake ingredients.
But to hello with the "IN" group! I cook because I love to and I do NOT feel like a Kitchen Slave or Scullery Trollop. Anyone who says otherwise can kiss my oh, I do with she snow would go away and the temperature would rise!
John in Virginia on 23 Jan 2013 at 7:05 am #
There are times when Mindy can be a trollop or a scullery maid or…well, it's all good in my opinion and I'll not betray her secrets, nor her sometimes fetishes. Oh, I realized just now how much trouble I'm in if I am stupid enough to click SUBMIT COMMENT and
Ghost Rider 6 on 23 Jan 2013 at 7:45 am #
"Cut your caloric intake by 250 calories per day and increase the number of calories you burn per day by 250 (or some combination thereof)…"
250 less intake +250 additional burn = 500 calorie per day decrease. Do the math.
Jean in Dahlonega Ga aka Trapper Jean on 23 Jan 2013 at 7:55 am #
I started cooking when I was about 7 years old and a great-aunt gave me a play cooking set and I found out that with care I could scramble an egg in the little skillet. I truly believe that in my teens I continued to learn (and began collecting cookbooks and reading cooking magazines) because my mother had embraced the tv dinner so wholeheartedly that we should have been given stock in the Swanson and Banquet companies. Then I found that I really enjoyed cooking, and still do, so I am the main cook in the family. Husband also enjoys cooking, and is quite good at it, so he does occasionally help or takes over and gives me a night off. We both believe in fresh over processed, and have cut down on the amounts of meat, whether beef, chicken, or pork, and are trying to eat more fish. We also love venison, but since the local deer population got thinned out by the new golf/tennis club-no deer poop on the 18th green, thank you!-we have not had any for a while.
Right now I am heavier than I should be, but not from overeating or a poor diet. I have spent the last 12 years on steroids for a lung condition, and that has affected things quite a bit. Now I am off them and hopefully can stay off. Also, this afternoon I will have a bit of knee surgery (arthroscopic removal of some torn tissue) and moving around will be easier I hope, so I can get rid of the extra poundage.
We are having to move our garden because the trees around the house have grown and shade patterns are different. Don't know what we'll end up with, but as long as I can have fresh tomatoes I'll be happy.
David in Austin on 23 Jan 2013 at 8:07 am #
Steve in Royal Oak,
The cold of winter is the best time to plan the spring garden! Looking at the seed catalogs (or websites) and dreaming of warmer weather can help to sustain you through the long cold nights of January and February. After all, it does take some time to order and have the seeds delivered.
Try these websites:
https://www.superseeds.com (Pinetree Garden Seeds)
http://www.totallytomato.com/[Lots of links, so hopefully this will be released from moderation]
Robin in FL on 23 Jan 2013 at 8:07 am #
FL is having a big python hunt. Maybe you could get one of your friends to come down and bag you one so you can include snake.
Would have to be a half crazy friend though. The worry is that a great many amateurs will be sending rounds not only downrange but every which way.
sandcastler on 23 Jan 2013 at 8:09 am #
Ruth, eat at the classy dinners, their utensils are always plastic wrapped.
nickchick on 23 Jan 2013 at 8:17 am #
Love today's strip. Its like all of those commercials pushing "something" that you must do to change your lifestyle. It would mean alot more if the company behind it didn't have their own agenda. I wish the local news would stop reporting all of these new "findings". The results are always determined by who is doing the looking.
phil in Missoula, MT on 23 Jan 2013 at 8:25 am #
Jean, good luck with that surgery. My wife and and I have both had it (tennis) and the recovery is not too bad. It's a couple of hours and they send you home. My wife walked (hobbled) into the house without the crutches. She was back to playing tennis in 4-5 months.
My wife is a good cook, but after cooking for mumbledy-mumble years, she sometimes gets in a rut and can't think of something new. I like to go through recipes on the web and think I'm a pretty good cook, but some years cooking as a single parent make me appreciative of anything anyone sets in front of me. Except okra.

Florida Studio Theatre has put together another highly professional entertaining evening of toe-tapping tunes and terrific talent. This collection features the meeting of the Wild West with the city slickers, consisting of songs from the '70s and '80s that we remember from legendary artists such as Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, John Denver and others with that Nashville sound.
Developed by Rebecca Hopkins and Richard Hopkins, the show's numbers include Western songs that crossed the musical border into the mainstream. The production is also replete with plenty of colorful leather, fringe, boots, turquoise and glitter, thanks to Susan Angermann's costume design. Especially appealing was the black leather and fringe high/low maxi skirt Sarah Jane Mellen was wearing. Through the dialogue interspersed between the songs, you'll learn interesting tidbits such as the BeeGees wrote "Islands in the Stream" for Marvin Gaye.
The diverse cast of actor/musicians has been culled from all parts of the U.S. Directed by Russell Treyz, they become a performance ensemble that most audience members mistake for an actual touring band.
"In this show, we're trying to create a good sense of communication through the singers — allowing them to share their personalities so that the audience gets to know and love these five people in addition to knowing and loving the songs," said Treyz.
He's been successful in this endeavor, and the group comes off as charming and likable as well an extremely good at singing, playing and "boot-scooting."
The characters include Dominic Cicco, whose numerous appearances here and elsewhere include three other cabaret performances, on guitar and banjo; Eric Scott Anthony, who was also in "Shake, Rattle and Roll" and "Night Train to Memphis"; Sarah Jane Mellen, who most recently appeared at Manhattan Children's Theatre; Emily Mikesell, who appeared at FST in "Guitar Girls" and plays a mean fiddle; Connor Moore, on piano and some funny bits; and Tony Bruno on percussion.
Musical Director Brett Schrier keeps the show humming and hootin' and hollerin' as well. All the music was lively and interestingly sung. A standout, among many in this performance, was a rousing "Sweet Home Alabama."
