Darlene Love — Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) on Late Show with David Letterman, December 23, 2011.
What's on your mind?
Late Late Night FDL: Christmas |
By: Suzanne Thursday December 20, 2012 10:00 pm |
Darlene Love — Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) on Late Show with David Letterman, December 23, 2011.
What's on your mind?
hola, Suz. I had a busy productive week, but the wind yesterday threw down my little plastic shack I made for tomatoes, and it is a wreck in the yard. Too cold to clean it up.
hey bg…. how was your day? i have pictures of the ornaments on my tree and i have to tell ya… that fruitcake is fucking awesome! what are the cookies? i've been guessing and drawing blanks on several of them.
Hmm, I think I sent pfefferneuse, small and round, kind of spicy. My best friend's Momma's recipe. Maybe some sesame crescents? Those are just butter and flour and powdered sugar with sesame seeds. Did I send some apricot and coconut balls? Orange and pecan butter cookies? I think that's about what I had, not sure what I sent you. I am thinking of having some fruitcake right now.
Hi folks!
So today I did an interesting interview with a Missouri Senator about gun issues. He's a former sheriff and he is from the district where a massacre was avoided in Nov. You might have heard of about it as "The Twilight" shooting.
What I was going for was to find out all the roadblocks to new legislation as well as what kind of things helps support better legislation.
It was be interesting to see what the NRA does tomorrow at the press conference. I predict they will push mental health and that the schools should have armed guards.
I just had a hella time trying to make some catnip mousies for the kittehs in Seattle. I guess the cats don't care what they look like, long as they are full of catnip. Mine seemed to approve of them even though they look pretty goofy.
the apricot and coconut balls were what threw me… YUMMY by the way…
Hi Suz..
Gonna get some snow here. So it will be a Marshmallow World.
hey spocko — are ya going to be doing up a diary on this? how did you come to interview him?
they are certainly going to look goofy after being well loved by the kittahs so no worries…
Those are just dried apricots and coconut with sweetened condensed milk, rolled in balls and then in powdered sugar. I let the mix sit overnight and they got too gooey. Best to roll em right away after they are mixed, I learned.
sweet (pun intended)
hey cmauk — how ya doing tonight? hard to believe that this video was her 25th year doing this song on the last letterman show before christmas… can't wait to see tomorrow's show!!!
spocko, I admire you for trying to talk to those folks. My new Senator is a total gun freak. All he can offer the Sandy Hook people is "thoughts and prayers." Shite.
I have to get up early tomorrow morning, so this is both hello and goodbye, or as CTutttle would say, "Aloha."
Pleasant winter-break day today: ran some errands, worked on the planning for the January 11 protest that the political-religious group I'm affiliated with (I'm the token agnostic)is gonna stage on the 11th anniversary of Guantanamo at the Federal Building in downtown Los Angeles.
If I don't check in tomorrow night, I hope to see some of youse guys Saturday afternoon.
i forget — tis my sometimer's yanno :) is your drunk fruitcake rum or brandy? what were the fruits?
Hey is that the book salon with your book?
hey blue — hope ya have a great day tomorrow and dayam right you will see me at your book salon sat afternoon!!!
it is bg — this sat at 2pm fdl (pacific)
Brandy. The fruitcake has light and dark raisins, currents, cherries (dried sweet), candied ginger, apricots, pineapple, dates and pecans, I think that's about it. Also has some orange marmalade. I don't use any of that candied fruit or citron. I kind of do my own thing with the fruit.
Doing Ok. I remember Marshmallow World at the same ere as Rockin Around The Christmas Tree.
I do like citron in panatone. Not sure if that is the spelling. I am not really a bread maker, but I would like to try that some time.
the song up top was released on phil spector's christmas album and her he's a rebel (as part of the crystals) in 62. she's of that era for sure
i've not made it but i recall hearing about a pannettone recipe that ya make in a coffee can back when i was young — iirc my first ex motherinlaw made it that way
here's her first appearance on letterman in '86
Probably. I actually have been working on this since Thanksgiving.
I want to do it for a radio program. It was going to run today but it got pushed out till January.
Here was my thought process when I heard of the foiled shooting.
1) Why was it foiled?
2) What can we learn from this foiled shooting?
3) How can we replicate that in other communities?
then I did research on the non-shooting. It turns out the guy had a history of violent mental illness but he was not in the National Criminal Instant Backrgound check database. He would have been in California but I talked to someone at the Law Center Against Gun Violence and we found out that the law in Missouri is different. A 96 hour hold for violent mental illness doesn't necessitate the person going into the NCIS database.
So then I called the people in the House and Senate to ask, "What are you going to do about it because if his mother had not turned him in, your town of Bolivar would be like Aurora or Sandyhook."
The House person didn't know, but the Senator was an former Sheriff so I set up a call. It two me two weeks to get the meeting set up but we did it today and it went well.
I learned several things about the process that I think people who care about public safety and what we can do to stop violent mentally ill from legally obtaining guns.
wow, most excellent! perhaps ya could include a link to the radio program (hopefully the interview will be available online and archieved) in your diary
Oh for sure. He's a Rebel was #1 for a couple of weeks, if I remember correctly. One of my favorites for sure.
Brenda Lee also did a cover of Jingle Bell Rock.
she was with the blossoms in 64
I haven't actually done the radio program yet, that will be in January, but I think I might do a part of this story after the NRA presser tomorrow.
I think I will watch the Press conference and comment about it.
I was advising some of my friends in the violence policy world that they should make sure someone who writes for public safety and medical policy publications get into that press conference, because you just know that someone from Fox and American Rifleman will be attending. It's funny how people think that MSNBC is just like Fox only on the left.
I want a real progressive publication attend so that they can ask good follow ups.
Also, am I the only one around here who find it annoying the NRA are allowed to hold off talking for a week? The press are too easy about allowing the NRA to not comment. Do some good old Ambush journalism! Catch them in the parking lot or on the way to the club. What are you afraid of? If this is DC he cant' conceal carry.
I did not know that. And a very good cover of The Exciters hit.
i think that would be a great diary — looking forward to your reaction to the presser. i'm totally pissed that they are doing the forking presser on what could be called the high holy of all friday dump days…. the friday before christmas… tis an outrage that they are only doing a presser due to the public outrage about their silence
we probably listened to the same songs back then. my mom was into pop and rock and roll and my dad country. there was a good amount of cross-over back then
Yah…I go that one too. Thanks.
Gotta hit the hey though.
Night all.
Good evening, Suz! Great video, Suz, I love seeing that performance on Letterman every year. And a big hello to all the lln pups!
hey past — how's utah tonight? hard to believe she is 76 in that video up top… dayam, i wish i looked that good and i'm 58 *laughing*
Wow, 78?!! man, she must have inherited lotsa young genes. And still has the pipes to go with it!
Utah is clear and cold tonight, still some snow on the ground from early in the week. Might get a little more on Christmas Eve, according to the latest forecast.
76.. is 77 for tomorrow night's performance… her voice is still as strong and clear as her performances in the 60′s…
my bad.. per her wiki she is 70 up top and 71 tomorrow night.. still singing and looking good
i'm so embarrassed i got that wrong
Yes, such a strong voice still at 70, that is really something! Reminds me a bit of Ronnie Spector, whose voice I also love to hear.
her wiki page is real interesting.. i did not know she played danny glover's wife in all 4 lethal weapon movies….
Fairly recent Ronnie Spector
I like!! Great voices both!
they have both held up real well. glad ya liked it — no date on the utube but i think its from the 80′s based on the hair and outfits
Grew up loving motown music. In Cleveland where I grew up in the 60′s, CKLW was the big motown music station. Located in Windsor Canada just across the border from Detroit.
now that the holidays are almost over, i'll have to feature some more motown… i featured this one (or similar footage) up top several years ago and there is so much more motown out there
Windsor, Ontario to be more precise. If you listened to motown back then, you listened to CKLW – they were synonymous!
my transistor radio didn't have that good of a reception… i listened to my sf bay area am stations which played a heavy rotation of both rock and roll and r&b
token's giving me 'the look' which means he needs to save a tree. thanks for letting me hang out here with ya tonight — hope to see ya tomorrow night for muppets
g'nite all
Good nite Suz, and sweet dreams! Thanks for the good company and the music!
Not only is Magical Strings awesome but it's a family affair! If you can, see them!!

I just joined this forum and am impressed by the knowledge this group has and shares. I'm hoping you can help me solve a problem. On the north side of the house (in northern NY state where winters are very cold and windy) the house is set in bedrock. We have no rain gutters, and when it rains, the water sheds off the north side so hard that it starts to seep into the basement through the rock. We put a 18" 1/2 pipe on the ground under the roof line and this has all but eliminated the seepage. But it's ugly! We're thinking of building a 40' long raised bed under the roof line, putting the 1/2 pipe into the bottom of it, and setting it at a slight angle so that water drains from the end. QUESTION: what could we plant in it that would: 1. grow with little sunlight (some filtered afternoon light in the summer when the sun comes around the house) 2. be deer resistant (we're in the woods and the deer are not shy about grazing right up to the door) 3. could survive the force of water sheeting off the roof during downpours. 4. could survive snow/ice slidng off the roof (it's a metal roof so it tends to come off quickly and land hard) Since the snow/ice slides can be pretty severe, I'm thinking that perennials that die back completely might be best, as anything shrubby is likely to be broken. Any suggestions would be so welcomed! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Little sun, and summer downpours would be a problem. Snowpack probably wouldn't hurt much. Deer could be fenced, but the fence might take a beating in the winter. Raised beds aren't actually containers, and you might get better responses on the vegetable forum or something. |
Personally, I would cut a nice clean rill in the bedrock to divert the surface flow around the house before it has a chance to infiltrate. Fill that with some local gravel and it should look very clean. |

using rubber roof membrane in the raised bed makes it a container then fill it with decorative rock for the water to sift through might work very well. |

AJMER: A student in Beawar on Tuesday not only thrashed an eve-teaser harassing her but also took him to police station. Later, police booked the accused for creating nuisance in the area.
A school-going girl, residing near Bijaynager Road, was being regularly harassed by a 19-year-old boy Pawan Kumar Kumawat. "He used to tease me every now and then whenever I went out of my house," said the victim. Pawan humiliated her by singing film songs, passing cheap comments and even chasing her. According to police, when the girl was returning to her house on Tuesday evening, Pawan came in her way close to Patel School and started teasing. For some distance, the girl ignored him but when Pawan chased her further she lost her temper. "The girl grabbed him by the shirt and started beating him," onlookers said. She threw him down on the road and started kicking him. Witnessing the scene, people gathered and on knowing about eve teasing they also started beating the boy.
The girl took the boy to nearby police station, her parents reached there, too, after getting the news. "My daughter was very upset due to this boy as he used to taunt and follow her," said the mother.

We are going to build a new house here in southern Indiana (near Louisville, KY), and natural gas is not available. I don't think geothermal is an option because the bedrock is so near the surface. We do plan to have propane for the kitchen stove. My only experience has been with natural gas, so I am at a loss on heat source for the new house, or how to begin researching it. Any suggestions you might have would be appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Ground source heat pumps don't need to have vertical wells. If you have enough property you can have loops relatively close to the surface. Find a local, certified installer and talk. Your choices are heat pump, propane and fuel oil. |
"I don't think geothermal is an option because the bedrock is so near the surface." Are you kidding - bedrock near the surface is a driller's dream come true! Like a hot knife through butter - go for it! SR |
Here is a link that might be useful: International Ground Source Heat Pump Association
- Posted by david_cary (My Page) on Thu, Oct 11, 12 at 4:59
If you can't do geothermal, spend some good money on the shell/insulation and just use a heat pump and electric resistance. In most areas of the country (and I am pretty sure Indiana) electricity is cheaper than anything else (except NG and coal and do you really want to deal with coal?) |

It was a crime really. For as storied an in-state rivalry as UK versus UofL is, no one ever wrote a book about the two teams meetings on the court.

Channel 4 U-turn ends YouTube partnership
Channel 4 has removed all its long-form programmes from YouTube in favour of a new strategy to develop its own digital 4oD services.
The Inbetweeners: C4 show will no longer be available on YouTube
The broadcaster's decision to withdraw episodes from the likes of 'Derren Brown', 'Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares'. 'Peep Show' and 'The Inbetweeners' ends a four year relationship with Google's video site.
Channel 4's YouTube channel will now only contain some short-form content along with sample footage from recent past broadcasts and trailers for forthcoming programmes scheduled to air.
The broadcaster launched a new destination for short form content on 4oD, called 4Shorts, in November. It offers viewers a range of specially commissioned and experimental short form programmes featuring Channel 4 talent, and, going forward all remaining C4 content on YouTube will be branded under the 4Shorts banner.
Channel 4 said in a statement: "As you may have noticed, we've now removed all full episodes of Channel 4, E4 and More4 programmes from our 4oD channels on YouTube.
"As a not-for-profit broadcaster funded by advertising, we put our money back into the programmes themselves. To make the best of this investment, we've decided to focus on bringing online viewers of our full-length shows to our own 4oD apps - such as those on iOS, Android and channel4.com.
"These apps also allow us to encourage more viewing by recommending programmes we think people will appreciate, and to provide viewers with additional services."
The move signals a major change of heart by Channel 4, which first agreed the deal with YouTube in October 2009. It enabled YouTube users to watch shows free of charge, while C4 and YouTube shared ad revenues around the content.
At the time, Channel 4's then chief executive Andy Duncan said: "Making our programmes directly accessible to YouTube's 20 million UK users will financially benefit both Channel 4 and our independent production partners and help bolster our investment in quality British content.
"It demonstrates our ability to strike dynamic commercial partnerships to help underpin our future as a commercially funded, not-for-profit multi-platform public service network."
Since then, Channel 4, has made concerted attempts to develop its own video on demand offerings. Its 4oD apps are available on iOS and Android devices and now reach more than a third of all young people in the UK on a monthly basis.
Channel 4 stalwart, Jamie Oliver, laid out the threat YouTube poses to traditional broadcasters in Channel 4's Upfronts event in November.
The celebrity chef's Food Tube, launched in January 2013, is the fastest growing YouTube channel and has amassed 500,000 subscribers in its first year.
Oliver admitted at the event: "If C4 didn't want to commission my gear [shows], I'd focus entirely on Food Tube. Brands have become like commissioning editors now and I think I'm months, maybe a year away from being able to commission a full £1.5m documentary with a brand.
"For some broadcasters, it's still 'us and them' when it comes to online. I just want to tell my stories to the public and C4 has to come with me."
Last year, C4 also became the first commercial broadcaster to launch free ad-supported offline catch-up viewing, giving viewers the opportunity to download and watch shows on the move on smartphones or tablets.
Channel 4 also claims to be the first UK broadcaster to embrace using viewer data to inform its strategy. Last year's launch of digital ad product Adapt combines the broadcaster's data insight with its VoD innovation.

Time Warner Cable ups internet speed of fastest product
Los Angeles - (AP) It isn't exactly a speed war. But some of the big companies that provide Internet service are putting more customers in the fast lane.
Time Warner Cable Inc. is doubling the Internet speed of its fastest product while cutting by more than half the price of its lowest-speed product.
Time Warner is the nation's second-largest cable TV provider. The efforts are aimed at competing with its rival ISPs AT&T and Verizon.
Time Warner has doubled the download speed of its top-tier "Ultimate" service to 100 megabits per second. That service costs $105 a month, without promotional pricing.

"Rich in ideas and illustrations...of interest to scholars and art enthusiasts alike."—Library Journal
Adopted at over four hundred colleges and universities since its first publication in 1994, this book has established itself as the most popular and highly regarded textbook in the field. It embraces many aspects of the new, revised art history (its attention to issues of class and gender; its critiques of racism and Eurocentrism), but it also emphasizes the remarkable vitality and subversiveness that constitute the legacy of the best nineteenth-century art.

Marsha K. Ternus, a native of Vinton, received her bachelor's degree with honors and high distinction from the University of Iowa and her law degree from Drake University, also with honors. Appointed to the court in 1993, her fellow Justices chose her as Chief in 2006.
And there is more to the job than rendering opinions. Iowa's Supreme Court oversees the state's entire court system, with a budget of about $130 million. It is responsible for about 1,900 employees and judges, licensing and disciplining attorneys, and promulgating rules of procedure and practice. And all that is to provide justice under the law equally to all persons.
Johnson Boyle: Chief Justice Ternus joins us now in our studio. Chief, welcome and thank you so much for joining us.
Ternus: You're welcome. It's nice to be here.
Johnson Boyle: Nice to have you. I guess I want to talk first about the focus of your work. On the Court's web site, it says that your mission is to provide independent and accessible forums for the fair and prompt resolution of disputes, administering justice under the law equally to all persons. Well, your request to the legislature last January about children suggests that perhaps they have not been treated equally in Iowa's judicial system. Do you want to talk about that?
Ternus: Sure. I think what we wanted to do was ensure that we were doing the best for our children that we could do as a court system. And so we're examining how we handle cases that affect children, to be sure that we're handling those on a priority basis so that we reach a quick resolution for them.
Time for children goes very slowly, and so if we say it's going to be another week before we decide some issue that affects them, where they're going to live, that seems like an eternity to them, so it's important that we focus on those cases, that we find permanency for these children who have been removed from their homes as soon as we can. It makes a big difference their lives.
Johnson Boyle: I imagine it does. And it sounds as though you're going to be getting much of what you have requested for children legislatively. Are you satisfied with that?
Ternus: Well, the legislature's response was tremendous and we're very, very pleased with how they reacted to our request in our budget for resources that will allow us to address these issues more efficiently and more effectively. So, yes, I'm very proud of our legislature for stepping up to the plate and giving us what we needed.
I'm sure as we institute best practices in the courts and handle these cases in the best way we can, we may find that we need additional resources. And we'll certainly make the legislature aware of that if that's the case, but they've been great so far.
Johnson Boyle: You're clearly quite passionate about helping children, and I'm curious as to why.
Ternus: Well, it really was just by accident, I have to admit. It was not part of my private practice when I was an attorney. But in 2005 the former Chief asked me to go to a national summit on children that was going to be in Minneapolis, and I said I would go on behalf of the Court. And at that summit, all the participants were educated in the issues affecting the Court's handling of child welfare cases, and it made me aware of issues that really I had had no involvement with before.
And so learning of the need to make improvements and knowing from my own experience with raising my own children how vulnerable they are and how important it is that they have a good childhood, yeah, it did, it made me passionate about doing something about it.
And now as Chief, I'm in a position I feel it's my responsibility to actually oversee and coordinate and urge others to join in so we can all work together to do the best we can.
Johnson Boyle: Before we leave the topic of your advocacy for children, I do want to mention that in your January State of the Judiciary speech, you talked about the court's efforts to make sure that a child in the system always has the same judge.
You said for older children who come to court proceedings, their judge may be the only constant figure in their life. With 5,000 children in foster care currently, it sounds like the problem goes way beyond what the courts can certainly do.
Ternus: Well, we're working with DHS and every other state agency, the private bar association. Everybody who's involved in these cases, we've all been working together to coordinate our efforts and learn from each other and how we can help the others do their job better. So we're off to a great start, and everybody has been very cooperative. It's been very easy to work with the other entities that are involved in these cases.
Johnson Boyle: Before we run out of time, I'd like to touch on a couple more topics. First of all, electronic technology. The court is obviously moving -- or trying to move Iowa's judicial system more towards electronic technology. There's obviously an upside but there are obviously privacy concerns; are there not?
Ternus: Right. What we're doing is trying to go to electronic files so that all of our court files are stored electronically. There are a lot of efficiency benefits that we can gain as a court system by doing that. But, of course, the corollary is that now it will be much easier for citizens to access our court records, which are public documents.
And a lot of times court cases involve very sensitive issues, and so we did alert the legislature in the State of the Judiciary Address that there may be concerns by their constituents about the openness of those public documents once they can be accessed on the Internet.
Johnson Boyle: Can you briefly just specify some specific concerns?
Ternus: Well, what we've heard from in the comments that we have received to the rules that we've adopted that will facilitate this change, people are concerned about divorce decrees and neighbors looking at how much they make and how much support was paid and maybe what the allegations were of one party against the other and those kind of things that you would normally not go up to your next door neighbor and start asking them about but you would maybe be surfing the internet and look into it.
Johnson Boyle: This is true. I would remiss as an interviewer if I did not ask you about the fact that you are the first woman Iowa Supreme Court Chief Justice. What does that mean to you?
Ternus: Well, it doesn't really mean that much to me, the fact that I'm a woman. I mean I'm very honored to be the Chief. And the fact that I'm a woman, well, that's because I am. It's kind of irrelevant to me.
But having said that, I do know it's important for young women and young girls to have role models. And so I think it's wonderful from the perspective as what it says to those audiences, and that is that you can be whatever you want to be. You just have to work hard and hopefully things will work out for you.
Johnson Boyle: That's a great message for young women to hear. And what about just the legacy of the Court? There's 170 years of history in your job. Very briefly, the first decision of the Iowa Supreme Court was when it was still a territory. It said that no man in the territory can be reduced to do slavery. In 1868 it ruled that segregated schools were unequal. Is it important as you -- is it overwhelming to you to inherit all that as the Chief Justice ?
Ternus: Well, you know, you can't really think of it in that way, because it would be overwhelming. What we have to do is take each case and address it with the most integrity and the most fairness and impartiality that we can muster. And if we do that, then we will carry on a very proud tradition in the Iowa courts.
Really Iowans should be very proud of the Iowa Supreme Court because we have addressed some very tough issues well, long before the United States Supreme Court came around to that way of thinking. So we'll try to carry on.

The New York Pest Management Association (NYPMA) was recently formed by the mergers of the PPMANYC, LIPCA and NYSPMA.
New York State can now speak with "one voice" as it now has only one association representing the pest control industry. The New York Pest Management Association (NYPMA) was recently formed by the mergers of the Professional Pest Management Association of NYC (PPMANYC) and the Long Island Pest Control Association (LIPCA) with the New York State Pest Management Association (NYSPMA).
According to the new president, Jim Skinner of A&C Pest Management, East Medow, N.Y., this was a major accomplishment on the part of all three associations to combine their resources to better promote the industry and provide greater education throughout the state. "Some said it would never happen," he said.
Joseph Sheehan, representing the city group, along with Victor Bonivita of LIPCA and Ken Unger of NYSPMA, were instrumental in promoting this change among their members. Along with membership in the new association, NYPMA members will have the added benefit of being joint-members in the National Pest Management Association.
The other officers of the association will be Bonavita of Battle A Bug Inc. of Massapequa Park, Long Island, and Unger, of Surburban Pest Control, Yonkers, who will serve as vice-presidents. Louis Taranto of Tonto Pest Control, Brooklyn, will become the new treasurer and Bill Minahan, Orkin Pest Control, Latham, N.Y., the secretary. Len Douglen will be the executive director and Harriet Schary the associate director for marketing.
The FDA is considering whether to approve the experimental use of genetically modified mosquitoes in the Florida Keys to help stop the spread of dengue fever and other diseases.
The company, formerly Arrow Environmental Holdings, closed seven merger deals in December.
Forty new franchisees attended training at the Mosquito Joe headquarters in Virginia Beach, Va.
The Techni-Baiter baiting system is a product that service professionals can use to save on bending and kneeling.
James Willix of Viking Pest Control, Bridgewater, N.J., recently earned Associate Certified Entomologist status from the Entomological Society of America.

What are India's Anna Hazare protests all about?
Mr. Hazare wants his proposed anticorruption agency to have police and prosecution powers over the entire government. The government wants it only to be advisory.
New Delhi
Thousands of protesters converged in New Delhi and other Indian cities Tuesday demanding the creation of an independent and powerful agency to prosecute corruption. The cause appears to be gaining momentum, posing a significant challenge to the weakening government.
Leading the charge is Anna Hazare, an elderly activist who began an "indefinite" fast today. The government detained him along with thousands of his supporters, many of whom voluntarily boarded police buses.
"This is a revolution. This is a new beginning. These people in government are burglars," says C.P. Thakur, a lawyer who joined the street marches, which included young and old, mostly middle class Indians.
Some of the activists are ambitiously reaching for the mantle of the Arab Spring or Mahatma Gandhi's independence struggle. But the debate hinges on ideas that would be more at home in the Federalist Papers, such as separation of powers and checks and balances.
Mr. Hazare wants the proposed anticorruption agency, known as Lokpal, to have police and prosecution powers over every level and branch of government. The government wants to restrict Lokpal to making recommendations, and to exempt judges, parliamentarians, and the prime minister.
Hazare's vision not only unnerves officials, but also some academics and activists concerned with the amount of power it would invest in an unelected body.

Yes, he does expect Buick to be a lower cost competitor to Lexus. This was stated only a few years ago and it will take time to get there. The LaCrosse starts at more than $10k cheaper than the ES330 but it does have many of the same attributes. Buick was once a premium marque and the aim is to get there again. Hopefully the Lucerne will be another step in that direction.
By the way Mr. Lutz says a lot of flamboyant things. He says what he thinks and maybe that is not normal for an auto exec but it is what he believes. Maybe he would be better off keeping things to his chest untill fruition but it sure makes the press and public talk a lot more about GM!
In the meantime I would use pricing/size/features and style to pick competitors. That is what customers do. I would compare a CX/CXL to Camry XLE's with 4 and V6 and the CXS to lower level ES330's. Using actual transaction prices the LaCrosse does very well, if you care about price! -
62vetteefp Posts: 6,048I disagree on the engine. Buick will sell a lot of 3.8's to retail. Whether you agree or not with the buyers there is a huge market out there who love the 3.8L. That is one reason why it is still alive at Buick. Now they may not be the 40 year olds that Buick wants to reach but the V8 and the LaCrosse 3.6L will satisfy them. There are still a lot of folks in their 60's/70's/80's who have a lot of money that will buy the 3.8.
Buicks challenge is to do what Olds did not do. Keep their traditional older market and bring in younger folks. -
vanman1 Posts: 1,397I have driven my parents 2004 LeSabre and while the thing drives like a boat, I have to admit the 3800 is not bad, even compared with the 3.5 twin cam in my Intrigue. I think most Lucernes will be V8s though unless GM charges some crazy premium for it. I will certainly take a look, I'd love a V8.
johnclineii : Avalon is not a Lexus though and the cars are in different price ranges. I don't see how saying Buick was a budget Lexus invites comparison to a Toyota in another price class? -

vanman1 Posts: 1,397Don't know if they will buy a Lucerne, the LeSabre is less than a year old so I don't know what their needs will be in a few years (they are getting up in years). I think my Dad would consider it though and I know he would go V8, he loves the old V8s and can never have enough power under the hood.
I wish the 3.6L was the base for the Lucerne though. The car would seem more premium. -
imidazol97 Crossroads of America: I70 & I75Posts: 18,638>The car would seem more premium.
Was talking to owner of a Buick dealership of llooooonnnnnggg standing. The 3800 is far more dependable and powerful than many non GM drivers perceive. I'v often responded here about its great torque rating compared to even the 3.6 and other motors that people post up here as the favorite style of their choice. That strength in torque is where most people notice the quickness of their motor--in everyday driving at 2000-3500 rpm leaving stopsigns and stop lights.
He wanted me to drive a LaCrosse since I'd wandered into the showroom to sit in the back of one. I found it slightly smaller than my LeSabres. Again it's a midsize car. I'll have to go sit in some other midsize cars like the Avalon and Camry and see how their back seat compares... The finish in the LaCrosse seemed great, other than I missed the carpet on the lower part of the rear doors. It just didn't look as detailed as my LeSabre Limiteds. I'll check for that in the Accord and Camry and Avalon when I brave the nasty sales staff next week one midday.
I suspect his opinion mirrors the current GM management. I would expect to see the 3800 continue as a strong motor for a base level car. And I would expect the optional motors to attract the newer/younger buyers into Buicks.
I do agree that optional motors in the base car would be a great way to go for others who want a choice, even if it's not much more if any cost effective as an option. -

62vetteefp Posts: 6,048And here you see the conumdrum on the 3.8. All the people in the "know" like the mainstream auto press and the ones that drive the foriegn expensive OHC engines think the 3.8 is some awful, noisy, unreliable engine. Those who actually live with it and buy it love it.
So Buick keeps the 3.8 to keep their traditional buyers happy and cost down but everyone else piles on it. It does not help though not to have at least a 5 speed even though with a torquey engine it is not as important as with the revvy 3.6L.
Yes, I think you will see the 3.8 go away as the new models are introduced down the line. -

62vetteefp Posts: 6,048
bennycheck Posts: 43The 3.8 is on the way out from what I've read. When they were developing the 3.6 there was a link on the Intrigue board all about it. It's called the Global 3.6L because it's going to be used in GM cars and trucks all over the world. I tried to find the link but it doesn't work any more. The artical stated that the motor can be mounted mid, front, or rear. Transverse or straight. In front wheel, rear wheel, and 4 wheel drive cars and trucks. The pix of it looked like nothing I've ever seen. My guess is once production is ramped up, you'll be seeing it in a lot more cars from GM. As for the 3.8, it's a great engine with lots of power on the low end but it's not as smooth as the newer DOHC engines. I have an '01 Regal with the 3.8 and an '00 Intrigue with the discontinued 3.5 DOHC engine. I'll take the 3.5 any day. They are both very good engines though. And if I should ever get a LaCrosse it would be the 3.6 or nothing. I think in a few years that will be the only engine you will see in the LaCrosse. Maybe not. Just my $.02.
1487 Posts: 2,407I think GM has capacity issues with the 3.6 and that is why it isnt it more products.I dont know if they need to convert a US factory to build the global V6 or not, but my guess it production constraints are the reason it's not in the lucerne or more models of the lacrosse. I wouldnt expect the 4 speed auto and 3800 to last more than another model year. My guess is that the 3.5L with 210hp will replace the 3800 in both cars. I would like to think the 3.6 would be standard in the lucerne but I doubt that.
dispencer1 Posts: 489No one has compared the LaCrosse to a Montego/Five Hundred. I drove the Premium Montego and the transmission (6 speed) felt wierd. When you pushed down on the pedal the engine raced like it was in neutral for a second then you started to accelerate. The salesman said it was "cold" yeah-right. That was it for the Montego accentuated by the stiff ride. The LaCrosse was like every LeSabre I've owned or rented. The 3.8 engine gave plenty of acceleration, the transmission shifted properly, and the ride was smooth and well controlled. I'll order a base model with the silver package, sunroof, and a few other options this winter. One problem is that you can't get leather in the CX (for '05) and the cloth upholstery while very nice looking is very light in color. The "grey" looks baby blue. It will probably get dirty very easily. The CX is really the best buy - currently about $20k. I've driven the new Avalon. It is $30-35k and has a richer interior than the LaCrosse but the information center in the middle of the dash is distracting and not necessary. It drives and handles like a smaller car than it is. Toyota "dependability" and "quality" is stressed but before anyone buys one he ought to check out the prices for servicing. The various "services" at 7500 miles, 15k miles etc. are very expensive. Frankly the LaCrosse rides better than the Avalon and feels like a bigger, heavier car. It will be a big step up from my 2001 Malibu and not much different from my '03 Deville.
62vetteefp Posts: 6,048GM builds a lot of cars. It needs a lot of engines. It takes more than one engine line to build all those engines. As the new engine lines get tooled up the older lines will go away. And as long as they can use the old tooling the better off they are.
Once an engine is delveloped in a architecture it takes a lot of time and money to put in another one. Therefore I doubt they will drop out the 3.8 and replace it with something else on the LaCrosse or Grand Prix. They will probably wait untill the replacement models come out. -
johnclineii Posts: 2,287You would think, but that is NOT what I am hearing. The 3800 goes away sooner than the replacements for the LaCrosse and Grand Prix come out. Also, given GM's current difficulties, it cannot be assumed when or even if there will be replacement models for any line at Pontiac or Buick. It has been said that the number of models at Pontiac and Buick will be greatly reduced. ONLY Chevy and Cadillac will remain with a full range of models. The others will have far less overlap than in the past.
62vetteefp Posts: 6,048Not sure when the LaCrosse is being replaced but I can say if any cars get replaced at Buick it will be the LaCrosse and Lucerne. These are the type of cars that made Buick Buick and what the customers expect. With the GMC/Pontiac/Buick dealer link you will see little overlap in the future (maybe 4/5 years). GMC will take all the truck stuff(no more true trucks at Buick/Pontiac?). Pontiac will take the smaller cars and make them sporty (no Bonneville). Not sure who will get the crossovers and vans. Of course the definition of a crossover is so broad all 3 divisions could have 1 or 2 and they could be completely different. GMC more truck like, Buick more premium car like and Pontiac more sporty car like. All different architectures even.

no doubt the 3.8's strength is it's low end power, but the 3.6 beats the 3.8 at its own game. the 3.6 provides more power at ALL speeds. ditto for the 3.5s from honda, toyota and nissan.
but the 3800 is durable and provides good gas mileage.
i don't believe you'll find carpeting on the lower part of the doors on the cars you mentioned. i think it's a styling fad that has passed. -
johnclineii Posts: 2,287Either a styling fad whose time has passed, or more likely, the victim of cost cutting and most customers won't care...
Heck, my Ford Five Hundred has not so much as a reflector, much less a light, on the interior of the doors. This used to be the hallmark of big cars. At least the 300 has a red reflector! -

The Next Big Scene
By Keia Mastrianni | Photography by Sean Pressley
Posted: Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2014
Weve come a long way from being a strictly steakhouse and chain restaurant town. From food trucks to city markets, the Queen City is starting to leave behind its conservative culinary roots in favor of an increasingly vibrant dining scene. Thanks to innovative chefs, adventurous events, and curious palates, Charlotte is a city on the verge.
Over the last ten years, Charlottes population has grown by nearly 200,000 peopleand the city has moved swiftly down a long list of big city to-dos. From building world-class art museums on our uptown streets to hosting national conventions, from new stadiums and greenway additions to a growing list of big businesses that call Charlotte home, this is a city willing to invest in its future.
But Charlottes food scene has seemed to follow the fate of our notoriously fickle weather, toggling between hot and cold. There have been times of steady momentum and gleaming shimmers of creativity followed by years of what some call complacency. As Kim Severson wrote in a 2012 New York Times article, Charlotte is a city still figuring out what kind of food town it wants to be.
This has often meant exclusion from the national spotlight when it came to listing great Southeastern food cities like Charleston, Atlanta, Nashville, and even recently, Asheville. Charlotte has frequently been oversimplified into the stale moniker of a meat-and-potatoes banking town.
A banking town fundamentally doesnt want to take risks, says Patrick Whalen, partner at MAP Management, the restaurant group that burst onto the scene in 2012 with 5Church and most recently, Nan and Byrons in South End. They want a corporate guarantee.
But change is coming. New restaurants like MAP Managements are rapidly arriving, creative chefs are testing local palates, and regional farms are gaining momentum. A discussion among Charlottes culinary leaders reveals a nascent desire to break out of the buttoned up stigmaand a real sentiment that with new developments this year, we are on the cusp of a culinary tipping point.
September 8, 1978, may have been the most pivotal date in Charlottes dining history. Thanks to its unique position as the buckle of the Bible Belt, Charlotte restaurants had not been legally allowed to sell liquor before the mixed drink referendum passed that year. The 1980s firmly placed the city on the national map as a banking center and by the 90s, that momentum had brought talented chefs like Bruce Moffett, Tom Condron, Gene Briggs, Mark Hibbs, and Tim Groody.
In addition to these chefs delivering inventive, locally inspired cuisine in their respective restaurants, in 2004 Johnson & Wales established its Charlotte campus and we landed our first upscale steakhouse when Mortons came to town. The following year, we welcomed a professional football team, and expense accounts knew no bounds.
Between 1994 and the recession of 2008 Charlotte had two Ruths Chris, two Mortons, a Palm, Sullivans, Flemings, Chima Brazilian Steakhouse, Capital Grille, Del Friscos, and McIntoshs in addition to a plethora of locally owned steak and chop houses.
But, the city also had independent chefs like Tim Groody connecting to the local food scene and building relationships in community, namely with farmers. According to Chef Gene Briggs of uptowns Blue restaurant, the recession of 2008 really changed things in Charlotte, especially for the independent chef. People stopped using farmers as much, they started playing it safe, says Briggs. People were more careful with their money and when they did go out, they went to places that were more safe to them.
Almost two years ago, Patrick Whalen and his partners Alejandro Torio and Mills Howell took a chance on a 6,000-square-foot space that was written off by most restaurateurs and deemed impossible to operate. That space now houses 5Church, one of Charlottes most lauded restaurants. According to Whalen, most spaces that big are given to corporate establishments because landlords are not willing to take the risk on locally owned places.
We havent made the investment in each other, says Kris Reid, executive chef at Southminster and charter member of the Piedmont Culinary Guild, a newly formed organization looking to build community among chefs, farmers, resources, and the community at-large. A small restaurant cant afford 30 percent food cost and pay thousands of dollars per square foot to operate in uptown.
Reid feels that that those with financial resources must be willing to invest in the food scene, which means initially shifting focus from the bottom line, and therein lies the struggle. Charlotte is beholden to a conservative mentality that manages risk like a banking town ought to, and often chooses the tried and true (read: the corporate guarantee) over something unexpected, different, and locally grown.
I think we have rock star chefs in this town. I just dont think they have the resources to bring their ideas to fruition, says Reid. She points out the vibrant food scene in Durham, nonexistent four years ago, that now flourishes because people were willing to stake a claim and financially back culinary talent and support a local food culture.The palate of consumers often gets the same rap, chided for erring on the conservative side. Thats the thing I hear the most, says James Yoder, a self-proclaimed foodie and owner of Not Just Coffee. That Charlotteans dont want that and I dont think thats the case.
Yoder believes the desire for more from Charlottes food scene is there. His craft coffee shop, which specializes in pour-over coffees and handcrafted espresso drinks, is a perfect example. You would not believe how many people told me good luck, but thats not going to work in Charlotte, he says. I just dont buy that If youre really passionate about bringing good food and that element of culture to a city, then I think that necessitates the risk.
But food isnt the only culinary aspect thats gaining momentum quickly in Charlotte. The citys fast-growing craft beer scene is creating a positive shiftboth at the bar and in the minds of Charlotteans. People who were drinking Bud Light are now drinking craft beer, says Courtney Lynch, bar maiden at NoDa Brewing Company and co-founder of The Cheshire Dinner Society, a local underground supper club. Lynch feels the same can happen around food.
I think its going to take two or three separate restaurateurs to develop something together, says Lynch, whose events have included an intimate dinner in the basement room at Leroy Fox and an upscale evening at Halcyon. Doing that on a neighborhood scale could really start something. We need smaller big ideas.
A similar model to Cheshire has found great success in enhancing the dining in Asheville. Through its themed charity dinners, Blind Pig Suppers has been able to push the bounds of creativity on the plate, create solidarity among chefs, and gardner national attention for the citys culinary scene.
What Id like to see is a lot of smaller independent restaurants and more diversity, says Augusto Conte, veteran restaurateur (Luce, Coco Osteria, Toscana) and recent recipient of the Pat McCrory International Entrepreneur Award. We dont need any bigger chains, we have plenty of that.
While independent restaurateurs and inventive event planners are crucial, there are strategic moves to be made and support to be given when it comes to creating a thriving scene. Chef Bruce Moffett of Barringtons, Good Food on Montford, and the new Stagioni, believes that the effort must come from the city itself. He cites the burgeoning restaurant scene in Greenville, S.C. as an example. They said an independent restaurant scene was important and they worked toward promoting it and making it a priority, says Moffett.
Less than 10 years ago, there was no culinary scene in Greenville. Thanks, in part, to aggressive civic planning and revitalization efforts, the arrival of big business and nationally recognized festivals like Euphoria, there are now 110 independently owned restaurants along a mile and a half stretch of Main Street.
Over the last year, Charlotte too has shown signs of supporting its own. The Competition Dining Series, Fire in the City, brought Charlotte chefs together for 15 head to head battles where they competed in front of hungry audiences using a secret local ingredient in three courses. The event sold out in three weeks.
Heidi Billotto, official blogger for the Fire in the City competition and Charlotte resident since 1975 says people are starting to get it. The interest is calculable simply by looking at her food blog, Heidi Billotto Food. Launched just before the Competition Dining series began, within two months the site posted 2,500 unique monthly visitors. I think now we need to hold our heads high and continue to promote ourselves, says Billotto.
That promotion should be a conscious effort toward developing standards in Charlotte, according to Joel Tracey, founder of Culture Initiative and co-founder of The Cheshire Dinner Society. I think we have to work in really driving people to the places that are doing it right and delivering a great experience, says Tracey, who is currently working on a project called Lucky Fork, which vets independent restaurants by tapping into the restaurateurs, chefs, and industry insiders to handpick forward-thinking establishments to bear the Lucky Fork decal on their front windows.
Tracey is also a charter member of the Piedmont Culinary Guild and helped coin the motto for the organization, All Ships Rise, a theme that comes up time and again in conversation with Charlottes food community. The idea behind the mission is that through collaboration, support, and genuine connections, everybody succeeds together.
And, of course, the community goes far beyond restaurants. A look at the great food cities of the world will show areas rich in diversity, from the small mom-and-pop joints to the chef-driven concepts worthy of the national spotlight. These are often in neighborhoods teeming with shops and eateries, easily accessible by foot. And these cities have vibrant street food cultures, artisans, and fresh markets with local produce. Most importantly, they have a customer base with the resources to support the evolution of the food culture. Charlotte has all these thingsalong with an ambitions motivation for growth.
Here, veteran chefs continue to reign in spots like Briggs Blue, which just celebrated a decade of business and signed a ten-year lease. Meanwhile, Chefs Bruce Moffett and brother Kerry Moffett opened new Italian concept, Stagioni, and Tom Condron and business partner Matthew Pera have a second concept, Lumiere, open now in Myers Park.
New chefs are stepping onto the scene creating stronger links to farms and bringing a fresh perspective on local cuisine. Chef Paul Verica opened Heritage in Waxhaw last December, Chris Coleman launched a modern southern concept in the Dunhill Hotel, and Chef Luca Annunziata is bringing his hyperlocal cuisine to Elizabeth. Creative minds work inside the 51 food trucks roaming around Charlotte, a non-existent scene before 2009. Artisans fill the space at Seventh Street Market and and palates are becoming ever more curious as evidenced by the infiltration of competitions, food tours, and specialty dinners.
We have an entire city culture thats collectively caring about the progress of the city forwardand thats incredibly positive, says MAP Managements Patrick Whalen. Now, its about trying to shake off the roots of mediocrity when it comes to the culinary scene and take some risks, invest in local groups, and start getting excited about local people.

"I had this at a friends house this week and had to have the recipe! It is so good! She made it with Pam butter flavored spray instead of the butter and it was still fabulous!"
Serving Size: 1 (797 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 1
"These tasted pretty good. The sauce was too good to waste so I drank that but next time I will thicken it a little so it sticks to the onion. It took about 45 min. to bake so I think I will cut the onions into chunks and bake it that way.<br/> Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag."
"What a super easy side dish to make! My onions were smaller so I halved the ingredients. We did the foil packets on the grill as a side to KC Strip Steaks. Wonderful! We will make these again! Thanks for sharing!"
"These were excellent! I followed your grilling directions and made them on the 4th of July. They were so tasty that I ate a whole one right out of the tin foil. Typically, I just add a bit on a hamburger but many of my guests were also just eating them whole. Very sweet and flavorful. I also was serving corn-on-the-cob and one of my guests poured the juice left in the foil over his ear of corn and said it added great flavor to sweet corn. Thank you sooo much KC_Cooker for sharing this recipe. When I grill this will be the way I will prepare vidalia's in the future."
"Very nice recipe. I scaled the ingredients down a bit and used 1/2 tsp. bouillon granules, 1/2 tsp. olive oil and 1 tsp. brown sugar for each onion. Mine took longer than 30 minutes also, but I just finished them up in the microwave. I served these with turkey burgers and Recipe #14031. Thanks for posting."
"This is fabulous! It took longer than it says~~maybe my onions were bigger. I only did three, but it took about 40-45 minutes to cook. I made it again on the stove by simply cutting the onions into big chunks and sauteeing them in a pan with the other ingredients. It was ready in just a few minutes and was just as tasty as in the oven. Thanks so much for sharing!! My hubby loved them! :O)"
"Fantastic! This is now my new favorite food to grill. I omitted the brown sugar, and substituted a little garlic, just because I don't like sweet foods. I grilled with marinated pork chops. Next time, I will try this when I grill steak and corn-on-the-cob. Thanks for the great recipe."
" My, oh my.... I'd forgotten how nice these are. My ex father-in-law made these years ago."
"Good recipe, I didn't have boulion cubes so I used a teaspoon of granules instead. If you have big onions, double ingredients - mine were HUGE and could have used a bit more flavor. We'll have them again, thanks for the recipe!"
"This was an unusual dish for me to make..we loved it. Since it was my first go and do not know how salty the chicken cubes would be in this recipe, and the onions were not very large, I only used 4. I served this with roast chicken, potatoes and broccoli."
"Delish! I substituted with red Spanish onions as Vidalia's are outrageously expensive in Canada at this time of year. They were perfect alongside steaks, baked potatoes & mixed veggies in a foil pack - grilled out in the cold by my hubby. Thanx Kristen!"
"I cooked these alongside the turkey for Thanksgiving and it was delicious! I cooked ate 325*F. for about an hour. Thanks KC! I'm so glad I picked this for Ingredient Tag!"
"I saw this in a recipe promotion thread, and when I clicked on it, I realized that I have made this before. So here I am doing a review. I love these. They are wonderful with the brown sugar on them, but if you are watching your sugar intake, they are just as good without the sugar. Thanks for the great recipe."

This was out of this world. I used Jimmy Deans sausage, tablespoon of minced garlic and two eggs. I put it into a meat loaf pan (2 of them). Don't pack it in. The stuffing was gone by the end of the night. I am in the South now and even they loved this stuffing.
My favorite traditional stuffing recipe. I do make some changes... I use fresh bread that i let get stale or cube and dry in the oven. Whole Foods rosemary olive oil loaf is a good option. I also use fresh herbs to taste instead of dried. Finally, i zest about 1/4 lemon into the mixture which adds a nice brightness to the stuffing. I personally can't imagine having stuffing outside of the bird... Alton Brown provides great tips on how to do so safely.
I didn't find this dry at all (last review)... I am adding this to my Thanksgiving must haves. I doubled the recipe and baked outside of the turkey and it turned out amazing.
One word: Dry. Followed this recipe to the T, and even added more turkey stock. Comparable to soggy bread cubes. The stuffing never formed that smooshy goodness that is stuffing. We are big time cooks in my house. Stick to recipes on cooks illustrated.
I have been making this one since it was first posted in 2007. my family loves it just the way the recipe is written so why play with it? Once again, it didn't disappoint. I did get the celery & onions prepped in advance which made it very easy Thanksgiving day.
I liked using this recipe, I wasn't sure on amounts though I knew the basics of the recipe. I used seasoned breadcrumbs. But I still added the celery salt, salt and pepper. I also used chicken stock it worked out great.
