Visiting my local Chevy dealer today getting my wifes HHR serviced I got a chance to get an indepth look, under the hood and on the service rack of a new Chevy Cruise Turbo Diesel that was brought in by a regional rep. to give Chevy dealers a close look at the car. After introducing myself and letting him know we were starting our search for a vehicle to replace the wifes HHR the rep was nice enough to take me on a test drive and let me put a few miles on the car myself. For such a small engine the Cruise TBD has good launch and pickup at speed, you actually get a small kick in the seat when the turbo increases boost while driving at hwy speeds then speeding up more. Launch from a standing start wasnt "tire blistering race car" but it can produce tire spin and I believe drivers a little more agressive habits (meaning someone driving without a Chevy rep sitting next to you giving you odd looks) could get some tire smoking starts. One of the more positive aspects of the vehicle is the fact that the Turbo and injectors are an existing product that have the posibility to be upgraded, now all you need is a better intake and exhaust and this little car might become a decent performer with capability of getting 40+ mpg.
I'm not sure why its mostly been vw doing the tdi (even though they stopped for a while). Great gas mileage enough get up and go for a car. Small diesels should be more common IMHO. You can also get good upgrades out of a diesel .
Yep thats my thoughts too. Itd be my wifes car so I wouldnt get to drive it much but Im thinking a well maintained little Diesel will last a long time, she only has 50k miles on here 5 yr old HHR so thats 10k a yr, at that mileage a well maintanid Diesel could be around a long time.
I would love to see more small cars with a diesel. When I graduated high school in 1997 I had a friend who's dad work as an Ford executive. At the time they were testing out diesels in the tempo. they did their testing and my friends dad had a chance to buy one of them. So he did. My friend would have to fill up once every 3 weeks and last I had heard he had over 300,000 miles on it with no major repairs done. It was crazy pulling up next to this thing. It sounded like crap. The first time I heard it I asked, "Whats wrong with your car"? He looked at me and laughed and said, "nothing it is a diesel". Everyone that saw it was shocked at the time.
I have a friend in Virginia that has a small fleet of Diesel Tempos, he swears by those cars, last count he had 35 of them all running and ready to go.
TB- According to folks at a mpg forum I frequent-they expect that Diesel Cruise to deliver OVER 50 mpg at 65 mph by just putting on the cc and pointing it. I think it is EPA hy 46mpg?? Usually diesels EASILY beat EPA hy -by lot. His guess-Wayne=xcel on that forum is 55mpg at a steady 60 mph. I always pester him for steady 60 mph FE numbers so I can separate out his technique from what the car will inherently do. There are a fair number of diesel nuts on that forum-truck and car diesel nuts-and they are really looking forward to the diesel Cruise. Like you mentioned the engine isn't new- it is a tried and true GM Europe motor-really reliable- The price-more or less the same $26000 or so list as a TD VW- is high but it is expected to be very reliable-and comes kinda loaded-worlds higher trim than a base Cruise. And it come with GOOD QC- not pitiful VW quality control and overpriced VW dealer repair costs. Yeah-you could do worse but the betting is in a year or so they will be discounted because folks won't pay VW money for a small Chevy-no matter how loaded. We'll see. I'll let you know what numbers Wayne gets when he tests one-he gets to do the journalist tests-keeps it a couple of days etc Charlie PS He said it was very quiet-nothing like 1980 diesel cars-clatter clatter sooty smoke and stench-quick too just as you say-8.5 0-60 I think is GMs claim
Several months ago I read a very small article in an automotive magazine about the diesel-powered Cruze. I know the Cruze is getting good reviews and and small diesel engines are pretty stout. It seemed like a combo that makes sense. I am quite interested in one and will definitely consider one (if they are available) around Q2 of next year when I am ready to buy a new car.
Right-good reviews.and compared to its only competition-various VW TDI- it comes off well Better Hy EPA than the VW- slightly lower -27mpg I think-city EPA but quicker- most importantly -it ISN'T A VW with VWs not great QC (which folks claim has improved) Now VW TDI nuts-are more or less certifiable-like many truck Diesel nuts. I'm SOUR GRAPES in respect to small TD in cars because 1)spark gasoline motors are sooooo good now-80% of TD mpg 2)Gasoline motored cars are at least $5000 cheaper to buy-now MSRP is only $2500 or so more-but you can never buy a base car-cheapskate like me,base is it- with a TD-so it is always $5000 3) 30 to 70 cent diesel fuel premium last 10 years-unlikely to change 4) Fuel injection-fuel systems-seem kinda delicate on TDs of all types-just ask 2004 6.0 Ford owners 5) The Prius-for slightly less $$- beats all TD cars in FE- by a LOT-maybe 20% or more 6) Mainly it is SOUR GRAPES-since I can't buy one in the next few years. I actually would love to own a TD Cruise- but forget TDI VW- my in with my wife-in 1980-was trying to fix her POS fastback VW suitcase engine 4 cyl with early EFI- I was unsuccessful fixing the VW- SOB caught fire WHILE we were driving it- but married wife- but still prejudiced against VW!! Yes I would love a TD Cruise with that TD 250 ft lbs(not actually sure on torque but probably plenty) our 2006 Prius- great mpg-very reliable-cheap to maintain-BUT BORING- like a toaster!! Great transportation appliance-but a really vanilla car!! Charlie
Im thinking the TD Cruze is gonna be somewhat vanilla too, but Im more interested in something thatll get good mpg and last a long time, yea it wont attract the chicks or do impressive burn outs but if I can get many years of trouble free driving with economy Im in. Besides itll be for the wife and she really doesnt care what she drives as long as it doesnt break down on her.
TD The diesel nuts on the mpg forum-seem to think the Cruise will feel somewhat sporty with the quick 8.5 0-60. they are looking forward to it. Yes I am past being interested in attracting chicks and burnouts- married 62 yo-forget it. I just want vehicles to do what you want-cheap to own-don't break much-and DON'T leave me on the side of the road

Cold sores — also called fever blisters — are tiny, fluid-filled lesions that occur on and around your lips. These blisters are often grouped together in patches. After the blisters break, a crust forms over the resulting sore. Cold sores usually heal within two weeks.
Cold sores spread from person to person by close personal contact, such as kissing. Cold sores are caused by a herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) closely related to the one that causes genital herpes (HSV-2). Both of these herpes simplex viruses can affect your mouth or your genitals, and can be spread via oral sex.
There's no cure for HSV infection and the blisters may recur sporadically — often in response to stress or a weakened immune system. Antiviral medications can help cold sores heal more quickly and may reduce the frequency of recurrences.
Most people who become infected with the virus that causes cold sores never develop symptoms. However, they still may be contagious to others, even without blisters.
For people who do develop signs and symptoms, a cold sore usually passes through several stages, which include:
Symptoms can vary, depending on whether this is your first outbreak or a recurrence. During first-time outbreaks, some people also experience:
Children under 5 years old may have cold sores inside their mouths and the lesions are commonly mistaken for canker sores. Young children are also more likely to spread the virus to other locations on their bodies, such as their fingers or around their eyes.
Cold sores generally clear up without treatment. However, see your doctor if:
Cold sores are caused by certain strains of the herpes simplex virus (HSV). HSV-1 usually causes cold sores. HSV-2 is usually responsible for genital herpes. However, either type can cause sores in the facial area or on the genitals.
You get the first episode of herpes infection from another person who has an active lesion. Shared eating utensils, razors and towels, as well as kissing, may spread HSV-1. Oral sex can spread HSV-1 to the genitals and HSV-2 to the lips.
While cold sores are most contagious when they are oozing fluid, the virus can be transmitted to others even during times when you have no blisters.
Once you've had an episode of herpes infection, the virus lies dormant in nerve cells in your skin and may emerge again as an active infection at or near the original site. Recurrence may be triggered by:
About 90 percent of adults worldwide — even those who've never had symptoms of an infection — test positive for evidence of the virus that causes cold sores.
People who have weakened immune systems are at higher risk of complications from the virus. Medical conditions and treatments that increase your risk of complications include:
In some people, the virus that causes cold sores can cause problems in other areas of the body, including:
Cold sores generally clear up without treatment within two weeks. However, if you have lasting or severe sores, have frequent recurrences, or develop eye discomfort along with a cold sore, make an appointment with your family doctor.
Before your appointment, you may want to write a list of answers to the following questions:
Below are some basic questions to ask your doctor about cold sores. If any additional questions occur to you during your visit, don't hesitate to ask.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to talk about in-depth. Your doctor may ask:
Your doctor can usually diagnose cold sores just by looking at them. If there is doubt, he or she may want to take a sample from a lesion for testing in a laboratory.
Cold sores generally clear up without treatment within two weeks. Several types of prescription antiviral drugs may speed the healing process. Examples include:
Some of these products are packaged as pills to be swallowed, while others are creams to be applied to the sores. In general, the pills work better than the creams. Some antiviral drugs can be administered intravenously for severe infections.
To ease cold sore symptoms, you may want to try:
Although study results have been mixed, alternative medicine treatments for cold sores include:
Your doctor may prescribe an antiviral medication for you to take on a regular basis, if you develop cold sores frequently or if you're at high risk of serious complications.
To help avoid spreading cold sores to other people or to other parts of your body, you might try some of the following precautions:

These pizzas were AMAZING! 8 pizzas this is the only picture I could get.
What is the dome height of the p70? It looks like the crust is done but the cheese could use more heat? I know it takes time to learn the oven but what can be done to equalize the heat? Could it be too high a dome? Dan
Great Job Chad!Edgar

Slow Cooker Ham & White Beans
This is the last recipe from our Christmas ham. I always look forward to finishing off the ham with a nice big bowl of white beans and slice of cornbread. This recipe is super simple. It uses a pound of dried beans and simmers all day in the crockpot with a big ham bone. The Honey Baked Ham store sells ham bones year round (found that out on twitter). If you don't have ham bone, use some ham shanks, ham hocks or just some chopped up ham. I love the creaminess of white beans combined with the saltiness of the ham. This is comfort food at its best!
Slow Cooker Ham & White Beans
(Printable Recipe)
1 lb package dried northern beans
ham bone, hocks, shanks or diced ham (about 1 pound)
2 tsp onion powder
6 cups water
salt & pepper to taste
Rinse and sort the beans for any pebbles. Add the the rinsed beans, onion powder, salt, pepper, and ham to the crock pot. Add water. Cover and cook on low about 8 hours, until beans are tender. Remove ham bone, shanks or hocks and pull off the meat. Add meat to the crock pot and mix. Serve with cornbread.

So simple, yet so delicious! I can't wait to try this. Anything with beans, has me excited these days!
xo. A Southern Bee Diary
:)Ahh I think I found my soul mate here. My husbands name is Tad, I love to cook and bake, and I love that your blog is "Plain Chicken." The question is you you like "Naked Noodles" I too have expanded my eating selection as I get older, but still just love things simple. I will defiantly enjoy your blog:) Thanks
ReplyDeleteI bought a bone in 5.5 lb ham and pre cooked that overnight in the crockpot with some vegetable broth. It was falling of the bone this morning, enough to shred easily. I will put the meat back in the crock pot with the beans and chicken broth instead of water and whatever juices came from cooking the ham last night. I'll also use less beans since we like our soups a little thicker but so far it looks good. The ham wasn't salty at all either. I've always just thrown my beans in the crock without pre rinsing or boiling and they came out fine :).
ReplyDeleteI love this blog and have made many delicious recipes from here. I have this one cooking right now and I gotta tell you, it has been in the crock pot since this afternoon and I am not enjoying the smell of the boiled meat. My husband assures me it will be delicious. I will let you know. :o)
ReplyDeleteWe have a bone from Honey Baked Ham that is too big to fit into the crock pot so we got out our big stock pot to do tis on the stove instead. Would you just simmer this on the stove for the same 8 hours? Or should I bring it to a boil first and then reduce the heat and cook it for less time?
ReplyDeleteThis is in my crock pot now. I'm a little curious as to how it will turn out. I have doctor's appts today so I there was no way I was running around 7mths pregnant and than slaving in the kitchen all evening before I go to bed, lol. I tried your Red Beans and Rice Crock Pot recipe, and we really didn't like it...but this one sounds so much better in my opinion!
ReplyDeleteI found this today and even though it's summer and hot I didn't want to toss the ham bone. Will make good lunches this week. I skipped the onion powder and added an onion and several chopper celery stalks. Wish I would have read the chicken broth idea before I added the water, but it should still work out ok.
ReplyDeleteI found this recipe yesterday and it will be Thursday night's dinner!
I went to Walmart and found a package of spiral ham chunks and pieces! $3.60 for a 1.6 lb package. I have the beans so this is a really economical meal!
Can anyone direct me to a good cornbread recipe? I like it moist and made it once in my cast iron skillet but cannot find that recipe.Thanks.Glamour Gone By - here is my recipe for cornbread
Enjoy!Why is no one concerned about the comment made about toxins when you don't soak or boil the beans first?
ReplyDeleteRepliesI eat this often and I haven't died yet. I've read about toxins in uncooked kidney beans, but nothing about cooking beans without soaking.
DeleteI just read an article about toxins in beans, it said that the toxins are highest in undercooked red kidney beans. So I would think that as long as they are thoroughly cooked you should be ok.
I made a ham in the crockpot last night for dinner and I have the bone/ham left over, can I use this with the beans for this recipe?
ReplyDeleteTo make this recipe or navy bean soup etc. taste REALLY good, don't use water -- use chicken broth. You'd be surprised at the increased flavor.
ReplyDeleteI made this recently and it was delicious. I used a ham bone I purchased from the Honey Baked Ham Store. They happened to have a lot of bones at the time, so they sold it to me buy one get one free, so I froze one. Can't wait to make this again!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad I came across this crockpot meal. Thanks! I did make some adaptions because I've never been known to 'follow' a recipe exactly ;) I added a small chopped onion/4 garlic cloves, shredded carrots (in bag from grocery), one half diced yellow pepper, 4 cups chicken broth, 1 cup water and 1 cup white wine. I also added fresh rosemary and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. It's delicious, filling, and my whole family loves it :)
ReplyDeleteI found this recipe on Pinterest at about 3 pm. I had a pound of great northern beans and a canned ham. I decided it would be great for dinner, so I boiled the beans for about 15 minutes with some chicken broth, bacon bits onion & garlic, then I plan to put them in the pressure cooker with the cut up ham. I cant wait to see how it comes out. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIf I want to double the amount of beans (2 lbs) do I need to double the amount of water? I'm not sure I could fit 12 cups of water, 2 lbs beans, and 2 lbs ham in my crock pot. Sorry if this is a dumb question. I don't cook and I'm new to the crock pot world as well.
ReplyDeleteI made this this Christmas morning using the ham bone from our Christmas ham. I didn't use the crockpot to cook this but I can see how easy it would be for next time. I placed the beans and ham bone into a pot with 1/2 water and 1/2 low sodium chicken stock to cover. When the meat started pulling away from the bone I took it out and shredded the ham off the bone. I got about 1 cup of meat. I added about 1/2 cup more ham. salt, pepper and I added 1 tsp of parsley (I will put less next time, but it was okay). Very good. I'm fixing some cornbread to go with this for the evening meal. It makes a very full pot so I'm freezing some of it for another cold winter day. Thank you!
ReplyDeletewell...........Im back...............made the meal and some cornbread muffins to go with it. It was tastey...but......my meal did not have anywhere near the sauce you have in your picture. It is thick like a casserole type meal. Now I know I can add more water to some of the leftovers and make it more soupy.....which I probably will.....but just saying.......mine was thick and not like a soup. But we will eat it!......and I always appreciate all the recipes you put online and have tried several of them and have alwyas been please, so I thank you.
ReplyDeleteMine is very watery. Wanted it thicker, like in your picture. Wondering if it's because the ham I used had a LOT of fat. I trimmed of all I could. Wondering if that is the reason. Also, is there a way to thicken it up? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteRepliesYou could always a little cornstarch or flour dissolved in water. You need to make sure the water is boiling when you add it and keep stirring till its well incorporated.
DeleteYou could always a little cornstarch or flour dissolved in water. You need to make sure the water is boiling when you add it and keep stirring till its well incorporated.
I made this yesterday and it's a definite keeper. I used 1 lb dried northern beans, .5 lbs navy beans (soaked overnight), 1 49.5 oz can Swanson's MSG-free chicken broth (w/Worcestershire & Louisiana hot sauce), 2 smoked turkey legs, and approx. 6 stalks of celery. Cooked on low 6 hours, high 2 hours. It was very good, but had a little bit of an odd flavor (maybe from smoked turkey legs, or maybe from MSG-free broth), I couldn't quite put my finger on the odd flavor. It was even better the next day and the slightly odd flavor was hardly noticeable. Next time I may try un-smoked turkey legs instead. I used smoked legs because I had seen a couple other comments that mentioned that. Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe!!
ReplyDeleteMy dear MIL taught me to make this soup but we add tomato juice to the recipe and when ready to serve, chop up a hard boiled egg into the bowl and serve. The hard boiled egg not only adds flavor but thickens it. Do not freeze with the egg in it or reheat it with it, as the white of the egg will end up tasting like rubber. We soak our beans overnight but also cook on top of stove in big pot. Have never tried using the crock pot but might have to try it. I could soak the beans overnight in same crockpot insert, drain and then use same crockpot insert to make the soup. One less pot to wash!
ReplyDeleteTrying this dish tonight. Used my tightly wrapped frozen ham bone that I had from last Christmas.....added diced onion, sprinkle of celery salt (no stalks on hand), sprinkle of Nature's Seasoning, 1 bay leaf, diced garlic clove, and a tablespoon of brown sugar as others suggested. Hope this one is a crock pot winner since I normally prepare my beans on the stove top!

Size and color are off
I have been looking for khaki-ish pants for work this summer, but sadly, these were not those pants. They are much more gold/shiny in person than they appear online, which I was prepared for because I could tell the fabric may have had that look. More importantly though, these pants run very small. I am between an 8-10: usually a 10 in Drew fit but an 8 in suit skirts. I have multiple pairs of Drew fit pants that fit me perfectly. These are fully lined, which not only made them not appropriate for summer (too hot!) but also may have contributed to how tight they were--I could barely button these things, and they were extremely snug across the hip and upper thigh. I recommend seeing/trying these on in the store, because they seem like nice pants, but definitely aren't for me.
March 23, 2013
Too much flare
I really liked the material of these pants, however, there was way too much of a flare for my liking. I usually purchase boot cut or regular flare, but when my husband walked in the room and said "Hey bell-bottoms!" I knew they had to go back. As far as sizing goes, I'm usually a 4 but went up to a 6 for this one, 5'6" 130lbs for reference.
March 21, 2013
Love these Pants
I realized that I have every pair of these awesome pants. They fit pretty true 2 size :-(. I like wearing 2 sizes smaller than normal! Very light weight material! I get so many complements when I wear them! Highly recommended
March 20, 2013
Buy a size bigger
I really like these pants but I would recommend going up a size because they do run small compared to other pants I have from The Limited.
March 7, 2013
Absolutely stunning, but run small
These are the most beautiful pants, but they run small, probably due to the lining. I am always the same size in Limited pants, and these are incredibly tiny through the butt and waist. The most amazing color and texture, though! Hope they work when I size up!
March 5, 2013
Great color & fit
Love these pants! They're a great addition to my wardrobe for spring but they're not super thin so I can even wear them now. The texture of the fabric makes them look classy. I've paired it with the zip shoulder bateau shirt in navy & got soooo many compliments!
February 26, 2013
I love these pants. Wore them to work today for first time and got so many compliments. Fit great, true to size and very flattering. Can't say enough about these pants, love them!

This is the box of eight Christmas crackers that each pop open to reveal one of eight plastic whistles tuned to individual notes for playing along to a traditional holiday song as an ensemble. Renowned as an English Christmas tradition since their invention in 1847, each cracker makes a safe, festive "pop" when pulled apart at either end by two celebrants, revealing one of the whistles, including other traditional items such as a paper hat, joke, and trivia question. Each whistle comes with a numbered card that corresponds to a numbered, sequenced part to be "tooted" along with one of 21 Christmas carols, including favorites such as Jingle Bells, Good King Wenceslas, and Deck The Halls. Includes a wooden baton for directing the impromptu octet to reverent music-making or to cacophonic, delightful chaos. Boxed set 13 1/2" L x 10" W x 1 3/4" H. (12 oz.)

We had great fun with these after Christmas meal! We've "popped" crackers after our Christmas meal for a number of years, but mixing in the orchestra crackers this year added a new level of entertainment. The whistles were sturdy and surprisingly tuned well enough that the audience actually knew what the songs were. The crowns have musical notes printed on them vs. being the usual plain colors, a nice touch lending immediate credence to orchestra members. :)

By Dan

When you pull them apart, they don't pop. You have to dig out the hat, whistle and number. However, it does do the job of adding some liveliness to a gathering. It is worthwhile.

Oda should lead more? Huh? Since when 4-3 in SP should big lead 3-3? Since Vancouver?:sheesh:
And spins. Even the step sequence, while not being his signature move, was done so well on one foot and nicely to the music IMO. Oda deserved whatever GoE+ he got tonight.
What great performances from the top 4! I'm a Daisuke fan but happy he came 3rd. I'm rather surprised with Chan's score- I expected him, going along with how the judges have been this season, to be given the 1st place.
Some posters can't tell the difference and every thought they have is based on who their favorites are.
Dai and Kozuka were not that sharp tonight - they can skate better. Those who love the posing, pelvic thrusts and ther finger forget that the jumps, spins and footwork are important too.
Oda was clearly the best tonight and Chan was rightfuly second.
Wait for the LP - I would not be surprised if we see some changes in the top four.
Last edited by janetfan; 12-10-2010 at 08:40 AM.
That's all I was saying......Oda did not finish first only because of the 4+3, it was also his 3A and the other elements.
He was really brilliant - a wonderful SP which deserved first.
Maybe Plushy can teach Oda the "finger trick" or he can study Joubert's pelvic thrust if that would make a few fans happy
Personally, I prefer good, clean skating. Like Kozuka's LP from TEB. No gimmicks or posing, just wonderful skating.
I think black color of the Dai's costume is not the right choice. Too heavy for such music. And considering that he was slowerer today than usual, in that black costume he looked even much slowerer.
Kozuka was boring.
It was just an observation, relax...This is the new trend whether you like it or not.
I was talking about SP. What you imply, cause it is obvious that some goes to me is ridicullous and repetitive, I m bored already.
I dont applaud pelvic thrusts and fingers, I can pretty tell the difference of what I see no matter if the skater is my fav on not, thank you very much, it is unfair to adress me like this, and contrary to you I dont change my opinion in every other post. So be careful what you write, you sound snobish and rude. Nobody has to apologise here for what he likes or not.

Daisuke has not performed well so far this season - 4th is about right if the men were mixed together like today. Chan, while clean, didn't land his quad very well whereas what he had previously landed were gorgeous. Oda has actually done very well and consistently this season, though he gave the SA gold away to Dais. With his quad combo, he's rightfully ahead. Actually, point wise, it doesn't matter to which jump the 3T is tacked on but a 4T/3T may have impressed the judges more.
Bring it on for the LP!

New In Box RUGER P Series Pistols. Each metal frame P Series pistol is made of hard-coated A356T aircraft- quality aluminum alloy; Rugers proprietary Terhune Anticorro stainless steel (chrome-molybdenum steel in blued models); nearly indestructible resin grip panels; custom, compounded polymer frames of the P95 andP97; and long-strand fiberglass filler that is a natural shock absorber. P Series pistols easily field strip for cleaning, without the use of special tools, into five major subassemblies. Ruger offers several ambidextrous variations on the proven P Series double-action design.Operating features: All centerfire models include a firing pin block that prevents firing unless the trigger is completely pulled and held fully back.Manual Safety models incorporate a manual ambidextrous lever that, when engaged, prevents firing unless the lever is in the "fire"position. Decock-Only models allow safe return to their "at rest" mode when either ambidextrous decocking lever is depressed. After decocking, the gun can be fired by a double-action pull of the trigger without further manipulation of the decocking lever. Double-Action-Only models have no external safety, full-cock hammer position, or decocking lever. As with all P Series pistols, this model features a firing pin block safety, which engages only when the trigger is fully depressed. Similar in operation to a double-actionrevolver, operation is "double-action only" for each shot, requiring along pull of the trigger to cock the hammer and fire the pistol.

Article | Harvard Business Review | May 2014 From Purpose to Impact: Figure Out Your Passion and Put It to Work Nick Craig and Scott Snook We offer opinions on leadership. A need is seen for executives to have a strong belief in the purpose of their lives as individuals and within an organization to be effective leaders and to accomplish their personal goals. Executives are urged to examine their lives to discover major themes, interests, and values, using that examination to create a short statement of individual purpose which is then used to create a plan for using that purpose to create an impact on their organizations and the leader's own self-actualization.

Case | HBS Case Collection | March 2013 Coach Hurley at St. Anthony High School Scott A. Snook and Bradley Lawrence Coach Bob Hurley of St. Anthony High School is one of the winningest coaches in the history of high school basketball. At age 65, he has won more than 1,000 games and 25 New Jersey State Championships. His players come from the toughest streets in the country and yet all but 3 have gone on to college. As head coach, he earns less than $10,000 a year; his circa 1917 school building doesn't even have a gym. And yet, for almost 40 years he has turned down all offers to leave a small, aging, Catholic school in Jersey City, NJ. This is a biographical case about a tough-love leader who epitomizes what it means to be authentic. It was written for a course on authentic leadership development to highlight the origins and potential of deep self-knowledge and passion. Class discussion focuses on the tensions between extrinsic and intrinsic motivations and the role that this plays in our lives.

Pumpkin and Feta Fritters
During the summer while I was enjoying some tasty zucchini (or summer squash) and feta fritters I wondered if a winter squash version would work. I had previously done a savoury pumpkin pie that I really enjoyed but it used pumpkin puree. If I used pumpkin puree in the fritters I would need to add a lot of flour allow them to hold their proper fritter form. I like my fritters main ingredient to be the vegetable that they are made from rather than flour so I put the idea on the back burner for a while... Recently inspiration struck! Why not use grated pumpkin rather than pumpkin puree? Would the grated pumpkin cook with just a few minutes of frying? I just had to try it! I took the zucchini and feta fritters recipe and I simple replaced the grated zucchini with grated pumpkin. The pumpkin fritters turned out beautifully! Even with just a few minutes of cooking the pumpkin did get a chance to cook all the way through and it was nice and tender and good. Pumpkins are generally a little on the sweet side and that sweetness worked rather well with the salty feta and fresh dill. I used grated kabocha pumpkin but any type of winter squash such as butternut squash would also work well. Since I had some fresh dill for the fritters anyways I whipped up a fresh batch of tzatziki to go with them.

Santa Cruz Bicycles Tallboy LT X01 AM Complete Mountain Bike
Out of Stock
Item # SNZ000L
Don't worry though, we have a lot more All-Mountain & Trail Bikes - Full Suspension in stock than that.
Santa Cruz Bicycles Tallboy LT X01 AM Complete Mountain Bike $0.00
Since its introduction, the Tallboy LT has been changing commonly held notions regarding the correct usage of 29er wheels. Specifically, the LT has proven time and time again that the larger wheels are perfect for flying through aggressive terrain with aplomb, and the Santa Cruz Tallboy LT X01 AM complete mountain bike rounds the LT out with a build kit that's undeniably up to the task. With FOX suspension, a Rockshox Reverb Stealth dropper post, and hand built wheels, you'll have plenty of reason to feel confident on the scariest terrain. SRAM's new X01 drivetrain employs a ultra-wide range cassette and a 1x11 format to shed the weight and complexity of front derailleurs, without sacrificing the gear range found in a traditional double. Basically, the LT is exactly what you need, whether you're looking for an enduro rocket or an all-day trail tamer.
The focus of the LT necessitates aggressive geometry and confidence inspiring construction, hence the oversized hydroformed tubing for supreme stiffness and unrivaled confidence. The oversized tapered head tube enables the use of stiffer tapered forks, and provides a solid junction for the oversized, hydroformed down tube and top tube. The top tube and down tube have a subtle bow to them, which dissipates impacts to greatly improve the strength of the frame. The oversized tubing in the rear triangle makes for a flex free ride that's especially important given the added leverage imparted by larger wheels. That stiffness is only aided by the 142x12mm rear thru axle. Anyone who's ridden the LT will tell you that the feel is balanced, yet decidedly aggressive. Accordingly, it receives stealth routing for dropper seatposts, for more control on descents and technical sections. The result is a frame that's light enough for endurance racing, and strong enough for anything you can throw at it.
At the heart of the LT's handling is a highly refined VPP suspension. It's a suspension platform that's widely beloved for its blend of pedaling efficiency and trail-erasing smoothness. VPP employs two aluminum counter-rotating links to achieve this balance. If you're wondering how it works, the upper link provides most of the rotation as the bike compresses into the sag point. This yields a vertical wheel path, which you'll notice in the form of a firm feel during acceleration. As the bike compresses deeper into the suspension, the lower link activates, moving the axle path rearward. The rearward axle path enables the rear wheel to travel out of the way of impacts, so the ride is smooth, not jarring. And you'll find the same collet-style pivot hardware that has become standard for Santa Cruz's suspension bikes. That means that your pivots stay tight and are simple to service, even for home mechanics.
Construction is key, but the geometry of the LT is an integral part of its near-magical handling. The 69.5 degree head angle doesn't look particularly slack on paper, but with the larger wheels and longer-travel fork, it inspires incredible confidence at speed, while remaining maneuverable when you need it. With the travel-adjustable TALAS fork, you have the option of dropping the fork and steepening the head angle by roughly a degree, which aids the climbing control. Roomy top tubes per size enable the use of a modern cockpit setup consisting of a shorter stem and wider handlebars. The seat angle is fairly steep at 72.6 degrees, for an aggressive climbing position that enables efficient power transfer. At 17.7 inches, the chainstays are long enough for incredible climbing traction and confidence inspiring stability, without being long enough to compromise the quickness of handling. The short of stature will notice that the smallest size that the LT comes in is a medium. That's due to the increased standover height associated with the longer-travel platform and larger wheels. While that will keep some riders off of the LT, we can't help but admire Santa Cruz's approach that they'd rather not build smaller 29'ers if they're not confident in the handling.
As the name implies, the X01 AM build features SRAM's 11-speed X01 groupset. By using a massive 10-42 cassette, you're able to get a gearing range that's similar to a traditional double chainring drivetrain, and you save the weight and complexity of a front shifter and derailleur. The concept has been proven at the highest levels of competition via SRAM's XX1 groupset, so the reliability and functionality leave nothing to be desired. Suspension duties are handled by FOX units front and back, in the form of a 34 TALAS fork, and a FLOAT CTD evolution rear shock. The fork employs FOX's FIT sealed damper for consistent performance on long descents, and the none-more-gold Kashima coating, in addition to travel adjust. The TALAS spring allows you to lower the fork to 110mm of travel for more responsive climbing, and lengthen it to the full 150mm of travel for descending. Speaking of which, Shimano's venerable XT brakes handle stopping duties. You'll find an Easton Havoc alloy handlebar and Truvativ AKA stem handling the steering, and the staff favorite Rockshox Reverb Stealth dropper post puts control of your saddle height at your fingertips. Rounding out the build kit is a hand built wheelset comprised of DT's legendary 350 hubs laced with DT spokes to WTB i23 tubeless compatible rims. They're wrapped in Maxxis High Roller II tires, which have developed a loyal following for their fast rolling and incredible grip across a broad range of trail conditions.
The Santa Cruz Tallboy X01 AM complete mountain bike is available in three sizes from Medium to X-Large, and in the colors Yellow/black/silver, and Black/red/silver.

Beautiful woman. good actress (loved her as River Tam in FIREFLY)
She is the death of any show she is cast in.
Firefly - cancelled 1 season
4400 - cancelled 4 seasons (this is a record but she was only in 8 episodes so maybe....)
Terminator:TSCC - cancelled - it got 2 seasons!
Dollhouse (in all fairness I should only blame FOX for this one)
The Cape - cancelled 1 season
Alphas - cancelled the season she joined the cast.
I love her but she is bad karma.
All right...i'm gonna have to get a Photo Op with her at Chicago Comic Con...i wonder if she'll wear that outfit!
She was also in a few episodes of the unit. Which lasted four seasons.
She also appeared on an episode of The Big Bang Theory and that's going strong. Sadly of those shows named I only saw 3 and they're among the lowest number of seasons.
A bunch of those were FOX, and FOX has always dumped great shows. It is a testament to her that she was on these shows, and FOX simply validated her awesomeness by cancelling the show.
Remember she was in Hood also that got cancelled. Hopefully she does not have the kiss of death for tv shows. Actually now that I see the list of credits for her shows she might be the kiss of death, but I think I want a kiss..
Mmmmmmm.......can't get enough of Glau! Very nice pic of her!
Honestly I don't see her being the kiss of death for this show. For one it's one of the highest rated shows on the CW. Two it's a DC hero show on CW, they tend to keep them around for quite a while look at Smallville. Maybe this will be the show that turns her career around. I hope so cause I fell for her after seeing her on Terminator. (I've never watched Firefly)

I don't think investors should fear the march of time. The specter of a baby boomer-driven stock and bond market implosion seems implausible to me largely because of the move toward market economies around the world. By the time retiring boomers are selling in earnest, markets will be even more global than they are now. There are a lot of foreigners to buy U.S. assets.

What should we do with our money
Mar 2, 2012
We now want to invest some of our emergency fund that we believe is a little inflated, due to fears of the economy. I've looked around at fee-only advisers, but they all state that you should have at least $100,000 to start investing; otherwise, they don't feel like you are qualified to work with. What should we do with our money? We have about $15,000-20,000 that we want to invest, but we want to do the right thing. Could your staff help with some options? Thank you, Joshua, Riverside, CA

Members of the news media are shown outside a home, at left, in Big Bear, Calif., where two women were taken hostage by fugitive Christopher Dorner. Police scoured mountain peaks for days, using everything from bloodhounds to high-tech helicopters in their manhunt for Dorner, a revenge-seeking ex-cop. They had no idea he was hiding among them, possibly holed up in this vacation home across the street from their command post. / Nick Ut, AP
In the end, disgraced Los Angeles police officer Christopher Dorner was cornered.
A vengeful shooting spree ended in barrage of bullets and a raging fire that swallowed the cabin in the San Bernardino mountains where police say Dorner hid on Tuesday. A medical examiner will determine Wednesday whether charred remains found at the scene are Dorner's.
Dorner outgunned and outran police for days in Southern California. His training in the military and then as a police officer multiplied the challenges for law enforcement, said retired FBI hostage negotiator Gil Torrez.
"You're dealing with someone as a police officer who may have skills that are comparable to yours, a former colleague in the profession," Torrez said. "You have to think about what he knows. He may know something about your tactics and procedures. He may be able to look downfield. You have a very tough adversary."
Police say Dorner fled to a cabin in the mountains near Big Bear Lake on Thursday, four days after the deadly shooting spree began. After two maids inadvertently discovered him, he left, stealing two cars and fleeing into the woods on foot to a vacant cabin. He shot at sheriff's deputies who followed him to the cabin, killing one, before barricading himself inside. Police say he never emerged.
San Bernardino sheriff's deputies faced a challenging situation once Dorner holed up in the cabin, said Torrez, now a private investigator in Texas.
"Once you have somebody who has a vendetta and they've decided that they are going to do something heinous regardless of the outcome, then you've got your hands full," Torrez said.
Dorner seemed combative and unlikely to surrender easily, Torrez said. A negotiator could have attempted to get the suspect to vent about why he felt wronged, he said. Other tactics include bringing in a family member as leverage, Torrez said.
"I think any unit, any agency, had they had the opportunity, would have tried to get into his head," Torrez said. "The opportunity did not seem to present itself. He was combative from the minute he was confronted with any law enforcement."
There were indications Dorner was ready to die.
In a profanity-laced letter attributed to Dorner, the author had laid out his grievances against the Los Angeles Police Department and various officers who he claimed wronged him, ruined his law enforcement career and ultimately destroyed his reputation.
The LAPD dismissed him Jan. 2, 2009.
"Self-preservation is no longer important to me. I do not fear death as I died long ago on 1/2/09," the letter read.
In end, it appears officers threw tear gas canisters into the cabin and shouted at Dorner to surrender. A single shot was heard inside before the cabin caught fire, a law enforcement official told the Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
Police have not explained what started the fire.
Torrez says it's unlikely that police would have deliberately burned down the house. Officers may have lobbed a canister of tear gas or another agent into the home that ignited something else, he said.
SWAT team commanders would have analyzed the situation before deciding how to approach Dorner, Torrez said. Commanders would have considered whether Dorner had hostages, weapons or particular demands, he said. They would control the area to ensure no one can get in or out.
"It's one thing to be holed up by yourself and another to have innocent lives inside with this person. The tactics are different," Torrez said. "If it's a lone person, you don't worry too much about the loss of life, even though tactically, law enforcement always tries to resolve it without firing a shot."
All of the options carry risk, he said.
"That's a decision not made easily by commanders in the field," Torrez said. "Law enforcement is not an exact science."
