Veggie & Cheese Bagel
It…is…SO hot here. I mean, HOT. It's hot, too. Have I mentioned it's hot? And I'll tell you one other thing: it's HOT! I'm melting. I'm dying. I'm a pool of salty perspiration. With red hair.
Gosh, have you lost your appetite yet? Sorry. I have a tendency to do that to people.
What I was trying to tell you was, I had a long grocery list of things to pick up after church yesterday, as that's usually when I pick up what I need to cook during the following week. I had grand plans for many suppers: stews, casseroles, and other savory dinners…but there was only one problem: I'd worn a black suit to church. I'd worn a black suit to church because my muscular, cut, sexy, tan arms have been on vacation for the past 39 years and I'm beginning to think they're never coming back. They're over in Brazil, on some tiny Brazilian woman, enjoying their day in the sun.
So. Black suit. Long sleeves. "All Season Wool", which, in my part of the country, means that if you wear it after July 4th, you'd better carry along a bottle of water, an ice pack and an oxygen tank because you'll spend all your time sweltering, which is precisely what I did all during church. And after I prayed for muscular, cut, sexy, tan arms, I left church and went to the store, and by that time I couldn't even THINK about cooking hot, steamy food in a hot, steamy kitchen. Psychologically, emotionally, gastrointestinally, there was only one thing on earth I could think of to eat.
It was this delicious bagel sandwich, piled high with cool, crisp vegetables and plenty of flavorful cheese. I once made it for my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and our friend, Lindy, when the four of us took it upon ourselves five or so years ago to transform an old cowboy house next to my house into our ranch office. We were scraping and painting and doing all sorts of other things women should never be required to do, and when lunchtime came around I darted across the driveway to my house to make everyone a bite. Marlboro Man was at the farm that week and I had NOTHING in my kitchen—nothing, save for some bagels and a little cheese in my fridge. But I also had veggies in my garden—cucumbers and tomatoes, along with some chives. It was a stifling hot day, so the coolness of the sandwich was just the ticket for us desperate, hungry women. The other three ladies sainted me instantly. It was a real kick!
Okay, I'm done talking now. I'm not going to talk anymore. I have now stopped talking. See? I'm not talking anymore. I am now, instead, going to prepare this (a slightly more storebought) version of the sandwich I made five years ago. So I'm going to have to talk, I guess.
The Cast of Characters: Everything (or any) bagels, Cream Cheese, Green Onions (you can use chives if you have them), Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Avocado, Red Onion (not pictured because I'm scatterbrained), Alfalfa Sprouts, Muenster Cheese, and Cheddar Cheese. And whatever other cheese or veggies make your skirt fly up.
First thing we're going to do is make the special sauce. Special spread. Special…oh, whatever. It's special, okay?
Place 1/2 block cream cheese on a plate and mash it a bit with a fork.
We're just doing this to make it a little more spreadable.
Now grab two or three scallions/green onions and lop off the tops.
Slice up some of the white part…
Then turn it around and slice up some of the green part. How much green onion you use is entirely up to you.
After that, give the onions a quick chop to break up the pieces at bit.
Now just throw the onions on top of the cream cheese…
And mash it together until it's thoroughly combined. Keep in mind that green onions are pretty dadgum strong. But I like 'em that way. Just like I like my men. Man. Whatever.
Next, let's slice all our veggies.
This is one of the first ripe tomatoes I've had this year. And it makes me want to write a sonnet.
And next year, people, let me warn you: You are all going to plant at least one tomato plant. You WILL do it—I shall see to it. Because a tomato straight off the vine? Well, it's…it's…it's a tomato straight off the vine. I want you all to experience it at least once.
The thing about homegrown tomatoes is, you never know what you're gonna get once you slice it open. It's like opening a present.
And believe me, you won't want any of it to go to waste, as my tooth marks will demonstrate.
Go ahead and slice it up and set it aside.
Now grab a cucumber and slice it pretty thinly.
Guess what? I didn't get this from my garden. I got it from the store.
Now lop off the top of a red onion. Stop for a moment and wonder why they don't call them PURPLE onions. Scratch your head. Look at the ceiling.
Then slice the onion, purple or red or whatever, as thinly as you can. Call me a wuss, but I just can't handle thick slices of raw onions. They make me want to hurl and chew a whole pack of Doublemint gum.
Now grab the avocado and cut it in half lengthwise.
Now take a spoon and run it inside along the flesh and the hard skin. Remove the flesh in one piece.
Now make thin slices. And try not to eat them all.
Hello, my beautiful lovers. You are cool and crisp and delightful.
And now for the first secret ingredient: Muenster Cheese. Oh dear, oh my, oh wow. If you haven't yet become obsessed with Muenster Cheese, it's time to start today. It's readily available in the normal, non-fancy cheese section of the grocery store. This is Sargento brand. Not that I'm a namedropper or anything—I'm just trying to share the love.
And now for the second secret ingredient: Cheddar Cheese. Oh wow, oh my, oh dear. I don't know what it is, but the Cheddar and the Muenster together? I think it's a combination created by angels.
Back to the veggies, wash and pat dry a few pieces of lettuce. Any variety is fine.
Now go split one of the bagels. Any bagel is fine, but I love the grainy nuttiness of the Everything Bagel.
Split it. Then toast it. Then let it cool completely. Toasting it gives it the perfect crunch, flavor, and texture.
Once the bagel is totally cool, generously spread on the cream cheese.
This'll add a real burst of flavor to the vegetables.
Now it's time to get serious!
Lay a few hundred slices of avocado right along the cream cheese.
Now set some alfalfa sprouts on top. And gosh, let's talk about alfalfa sprouts for a second. I used to be afraid of them because my mom and all her country club friends ate them all the time in their pita bread sandwiches and I thought they tasted like grass. But now? Well, they still taste like grass. But in a really good way!
And it amazes me that these tiny little sprouts will eventually wind up in our hay barn. I'll let you think about that for a minute.
And now for the CHEESE, baby. Lay on a slice of Muenster.
Next, lay on a slice of cheddar. I like to turn it 45 degrees so it's not laying directly on top of the Muenster. It looks prettier, less symmetrical, and as a result, your mind tricks you into thinking it tastes better. I LOVE it when my mind does that!
Now grab the other half of the bagel and arrange the cucumber slices in a circle.
I've got a method to this madness. See, the cucumbers and the avocado always slip and slide out of sandwiches the easiest. So by placing them directly against the cream cheese, you're cementing them to the sandwich.
See? I know what I'm talking about at least 1/1000897th of the time.
Next, because cucumbers don't come salted, I usually sprinkle them with just a tiny bit of salt. But you don't have to if you don't want to.
Now, place some red onion slices on top of the cucumbers. I go pretty light on the raw onion, but you can lay it on thick if you want.
Next come two tomato slices, followed by a piece of lettuce.
And okay, another piece of Muenster. Trust me—you'd miss that second piece of Muenster.
Put the halves together. Now stop and look at what you have created.
Here, let me turn it around and show you a different view. Beautiful, isn't it? There's just not much about this sandwich that I don't want to marry.
Cutting it in half requires a wicked-sharp knife. I would normally use my long, serrated bread knife, but someone stole mine recently. And okay, nobody stole it but that's a lot better than acknowledging that I misplaced it myself. I mean, where does one misplace a fourteen-inch serrated knife? How many different possible locations could it be?
Oh good land of our great mother of perpetual motion…will you take a look at THIS?
Oh, and here's a tip: one half of this baby is plenty.
And here's another tip: Don't be fixing it for your first date with someone. It's rather tall, and requires you to open your mouth really wide to fit it all in. And you never know when the wayward sprout will drop out.
I'm just trying to save you some embarrassment here.
Just stick close to me, and you'll never be embarrassed about another thing in your life.
It's what I'm here for.

Looks absolutely delicious!
Kayleigh On Monday, July 28 at 5:55 am
You're up early!
Pretty darn hot and humid here in Holland, too. Downside is that we don't have AC in our houses, so I'm melting, too. Bagel looks delicious.
Angie C. On Monday, July 28 at 5:55 am
wow! first? I should get up early from now on!
Sounds delicious! I'm grocery shopping later….hmmm….
Angie C. On Monday, July 28 at 5:56 am
okay, not first but stil sounds yummmy!
Kayleigh On Monday, July 28 at 5:59 am
p.s Ree, I think you did something wrong with your html since the page breaks apart again halfway in IE.
Beth On Monday, July 28 at 6:01 am
YUM. I love veggie sandwiches, pitas and hoagies. I'll admit it, though – I've never had advocado.
Swedish Mike On Monday, July 28 at 6:02 am
This looks really nice.
I think I'll have to have a go at some bagels in the near future. Hopefully with photographic evidence on my blog.
Dang, you've just made me well hungry just by looking at those awesome photos!
Susan On Monday, July 28 at 6:03 am
Yummy. I'm hungry already. You know Ree, I'm running out of printer paper and my PW Cooking notebook is getting really thick (right there together with my PW Photography/Photoshop Notebook) – I mean REALLY thick! We'll never go hungry again thanks to your incredible, delicious, wonderful recipes, cooking, and mmmmm delectable, flavorful sandwiches.
zoe On Monday, July 28 at 6:11 am
wow, looks refreshing!
Jenny On Monday, July 28 at 6:12 am
Looks really good. It's really hot here in FL too. Who wants to cook when it's this hot????
Beth B. in Michigan On Monday, July 28 at 6:13 am
That looks really good! I like the fact that you use cream cheese instead of mayonnaise.
My boys are clamoring for eggs-in-a-hole this morning….just look at what you've done!
Heather O. On Monday, July 28 at 6:17 am
gosh that looks super yummy. I'm going to make them as soon as I get home from traveling for work.
Katie On Monday, July 28 at 6:18 am
Man! It's only a quarter after six, and I'm ready for lunch.
Kat with a K On Monday, July 28 at 6:25 am
Ooooh, yum… okay, off to make a veggie and cheese sandwich to take for lunch.
Jenny On Monday, July 28 at 6:26 am
Yummy! Thank you. Just the picture of you in church brought back memories from black heels to tractor wheels. Wasn't it a yellow outfit, in the bathroom on the second floor of your MIL's home? You're a riot!
Randi from Hilton Head On Monday, July 28 at 6:26 am
I hate raw red onion too, but mixed with the rest of these lovely vegetables, I can tolerate it and the sandwich would not be the same without it. Good Morning!
Kymra On Monday, July 28 at 6:27 am
Looks yummy, I like how you use the fresh chive with the cream cheese. I always buy the already mixed kind.
I know, I'm such a wench!
Pat On Monday, July 28 at 6:28 am
Great looking sandwich! And I love muenster cheese…it's my favorite. As I was scrolling along, reading each caption, I was really looking forward to watching you put the two halves of the bagel together after piling them both so high! You skipped that picture!!!
Tina On Monday, July 28 at 6:28 am
Looks awesome! I've got to say I just love your website. I think it's the combination of the photo's and your writing.
Keep up the good work!

Gillian On Monday, July 28 at 6:28 am
You know what I did ?
I bought a bit of brisket from the supermarket as i saw it on offer and in the deep dark confines of my brain I remembered the P-Dub had done a recipe for it.
What next ?
Oh yes – I come online to get the recipe all excited and that. I read the list of ingredients. Uh-oh. What in the world is liquid smoke? What is it – why is it – who is it ? And guess what – whatever it is we don't have it in the (as it was that day) rainy freezing cold Cambridge, England. But am I going to let a little glitch like that stop me ? NO ! I AM NOT! I go on ebay and order some from the US of A. Yes, you heard me. That's what I did. I must get out more.
Anyroadup – it arrived today. Three bottles of the stuff (don't ask, it's do with postage and my thrifty nature, yes that's right so thrifty I not only ordered in from America, I ordered 3 bottles of it).
Guess what. It's too too, way TOO hot for ruddy baking brisket.
chocolatechic On Monday, July 28 at 6:29 am
Oh……..I am so hungry this morning.
Superman is gone away, I might just have to make this for myself.
Janet On Monday, July 28 at 6:29 am
Ha! "Cucumbers don't come salted", too funny. Anyway, if I hop on a plane now, I can be at your place for lunch. I'll bring the bagels. This looks delish and just the thing for these hot, humid Eastern Shore days. I'd jump in the Chesapeake Bay, but I'm afraid a crab will get me. Thanks, P-Dub.
Mama Bear On Monday, July 28 at 6:30 am
Hmmmm. This is basically a "Leonardo DiVeggie" sandwich from Brueggers Bagel Bakery (they use a garlic veggie cream cheese).
But then, you probably don't have a Brueggers Bagel on your ranch – or within 100 miles of it. Ours is just a stone's throw away from our Starbucks. Don't be jealous. Every time I enjoy my Starbucks, I say a toast to the Pioneer Woman.
Jennifer On Monday, July 28 at 6:37 am
No matter what time, I am ever first!!
golonghorns On Monday, July 28 at 6:38 am
I'm drooling at the monitor and I haven't even had my morning cup a joe yet! This looks really delicious. I have never been able to make a sandwhich that looked that purdy!
Marlene On Monday, July 28 at 6:42 am
Come to my office and bring me lunch, please? This sandwich looks devine and must be made sometime this week by me, creater of the lunches for my household. Oh, by the way, yeah…I've made the yogurt cake three times now, and it is my family's favorite cake hands down. I have played with different jams and preserves each time and last night I made it with apple butter…the final verdict? There is none left. My family never wants you to go anywhere…ever. Their culinary happiness is a direct result of your website.
Allisone On Monday, July 28 at 6:47 am
But … where's the butter?
Looks delicious Ree. I think I'll make something like this for my girlie day of watching Oprah and mani-pedis. Thanks for the inspiration.
Kristen M. On Monday, July 28 at 6:48 am
Julie On Monday, July 28 at 6:50 am
I want one!!!
Minnesotamom On Monday, July 28 at 6:50 am
Not to mention the wayward sprouts that will end up in your TEETH! I could eat 5 of that sandwich, especially because I seem to have an aversion to meat right now.
Speaking of aversions, how's that sister of yours' pregnancy going?
valerie pyland On Monday, July 28 at 6:51 am
I love bagels for sandwiches, too. Yours looks awesome. Also, I have made my kid an egg in a hole for the 5 th day running. He says "those people made good recipes"! I think I'll go make one for myself, as well!
Southern Gal On Monday, July 28 at 6:52 am
It looks delicious. With 98 degree weather and humidity thick enough to choke a horse, it looks like something I would fix TODAY…without the red onion because even thin slices of raw onion make me want to hurl.
TastyNewEngland On Monday, July 28 at 6:53 am
Growing up I had an older sister obsessed with avocado, we made sandwiches like this all the time.
Stacey in Texas On Monday, July 28 at 6:57 am
I love bagel sandwiches and this one looks perfect! I've made wraps using this same technique and they are very good too if you aren't a big "bread" eater. Not sure why anyone wouldn't be because, personally, I love bread but still … there might some people out there like that ..lol. Seriously, a veggie wrap is TDF … try it sometime if you haven't already.
leslie h (in MD) On Monday, July 28 at 6:57 am
I love everything about this sandwich, right down to the Everything bagel – my favorite!
Oh, and I USED to have tomato plants. Grew up having them, I know the bliss of home-grown 'maters, and I tried and tried to grow them in my teeny, tiny yard, right down to my last hurrah in containers. But THOSE DARNED SQUIRRELS! I would watch for the first red tomato, run out back, and there would be a BITE out of it!!!! Yuck. So, alas, I gave up. I get my 'maters from the Farmers Market now – next best thing!
Nikki On Monday, July 28 at 6:57 am
Mmm mmm, that looks delicious. Although since I live in Northern Ireland and it is rarely hot here I'll probably end up serving it with soup. And I'd probably add pickles – In my world no sandwich is complete without pickles! Please excuse me, I'm off to get some bagels now . . .
Nancy On Monday, July 28 at 6:57 am
The sammy looks yummy, but I have to say Ree, you always make me laugh out loud even if it is only 7:50 am on a Monday morning and I have along dreadful week ahead. I thank you and I think I love you. Tee hee.
deb On Monday, July 28 at 6:59 am
ranchmum On Monday, July 28 at 7:01 am
Looks delicious!
I sympathize with your having to grocery shop on Sundays. I do my grocery shopping after church on Sundays also, as it is our only trip to town during the week.
lilly On Monday, July 28 at 7:03 am
oh my goodness…
i know what i'm making for dinner today!
Sonya On Monday, July 28 at 7:06 am
Cole On Monday, July 28 at 7:07 am
Alright, that seals it. Meunster cheese is going on my shopping list. I certainly hope they have it down here in the middle of no man's land. lol
Emily Jane On Monday, July 28 at 7:09 am
That looks so good! I'm guessing it's not a MM favorite, though.
DeLynn On Monday, July 28 at 7:11 am
A perfect summer sandwich! Sounds wonderful. Thank you!
Erin H On Monday, July 28 at 7:16 am
Oh my goodness this looks GLORIOUS!
Dawn in KS On Monday, July 28 at 7:17 am
Yummo! That looks like the mother of all cheese sandwiches! Must buy everything bagels, cream cheese and avacados at the store tomorrow! Yay! One meal planned!
But – how did you manage the self control to not eat the entire first-picked tomato from your garden? I mean, seriously? Warm and off the vine? My family knows better than to expect that first tomato! And you shared yours with us? What a woman!
Michelle Davies On Monday, July 28 at 7:20 am
I'm not a huge veggie fan but this looks delicious! I just may have to try this out on my kids.
Lisa M On Monday, July 28 at 7:25 am
Ree this looks fabulous…gotta go shoppin'…it's going to be 100 here tomorrow then we get lots of humidity to go with it – sweltering is all you can call it. This will be perfect after being out in the heat most of the day.
Marla K On Monday, July 28 at 7:26 am
MMM… Veggies and bagels, my two favorite things. Looks delicious. What a delicious thing to do with all my veggies from the Farmer's market. Thanks Ree!
Lori On Monday, July 28 at 7:27 am
My favorite veggie sandwich was from a 'local restaurant' I used to work at: except use rye bread and fry it in butter first-BOTH sides, then pile on all the fixin's you mentioned- plus fresh sliced mushrooms (the one I loved didn't have avocados, but that would have been a nice touch). then top it with blue cheese dressing! Not as nice for hot weather, but it sure was yummy! thanks for makin' my mouth water first thing when there isn't a THING I can do about it.
Plano Mom On Monday, July 28 at 7:28 am
105 here yesterday, and I agree this is about the best sandwich ever when it's hot. It's also delish on sourdough. I used to make these for a vegetarian friend of mine, and 20 years later he still calls me one of his best friends.
Christina On Monday, July 28 at 7:29 am
I may be making an unplanned trip to the grocery store today!!!! That looks uber-good!
t5m On Monday, July 28 at 7:29 am
mouth = watering
Bridget On Monday, July 28 at 7:30 am
I have never eaten a bagel sandwich because I know that when I squeeze it to take a bite, all the wonderful insides will drop out opposite me. I might have to try all that goodness on toast, instead. Or, maybe, I will get courageous and go for the bagel!
carson On Monday, July 28 at 7:32 am
Call me stupid but until you just mentioned it, I never made the connection between the alfalfa sprouts in the produce section and the alfalfa in the hay barn…and I have horses for cryin' out loud. Thank you for today's light-bulb moment.
And the sandwich looks scrumptious, too.
Lynn On Monday, July 28 at 7:32 am
Wow , you make everything look great in your photos!
I have to admit I've never had avocados either. But this looks so darn good I may try it. Thanks for opening me up to new ideas.
gojigirl On Monday, July 28 at 7:35 am
Looks yummy! And I'm still waiting for my first garden tomato – they are taunting me by continuing to grow rather than ripen.
Shannon Chapman On Monday, July 28 at 7:36 am
looks so yummy
Brandy On Monday, July 28 at 7:36 am
This looks great! I have a garden this year with 4 big tomato plants, and will need plenty of ideas for all of the tomatoes I will have coming! (We're in Maine, so veggies aren't quite ripe here yet!) I also have cucumbers! Thanks for the recipe! Since we don't have A/C in Maine, it's also nice to have non-cooking ideas!
Rachel On Monday, July 28 at 7:37 am
Have you tried using humuus as a sandwich/bagel spread?? It works really well!
kerry On Monday, July 28 at 7:38 am
this looks pretty darn good right now. i wish i had some of this stuff because i'm starving.
Beanbean On Monday, July 28 at 7:38 am
That looks YUMMY! BTW, I grew up calling that sort of onion either purple onion or bermuda onion. I never heard it called a red onion until I moved to California and then I wonder why everyone did that. Weird.
Prudy On Monday, July 28 at 7:38 am
As much as I love grilled meats in the summer, a garden fresh vegetarian dinner sometimes really hits the spot. This has some of the same flavors as your "favorite" sandwich which I love.
Tracy On Monday, July 28 at 7:39 am
That looks yummy! I've never had alfalfa sprouts tho so we'll see.
April in CT On Monday, July 28 at 7:39 am
I want to swim around in that cream cheese! I am obsessed with muenster.
coco On Monday, July 28 at 7:39 am
that's my absolute fave sammich at bagel shops! Sometimes I get sundried tomato spread on it too – MMMMMMM.
Becky On Monday, July 28 at 7:40 am
This looks absolutely AMAZING…and I'm not a huge fan of avocados, but looks like this sammie needs it..
**runs off to store to buy "stuff"**
(Oh and I'm from Jersey and we THE best homegrown tomatos..Just picked about 6 off the vine last night…delish!
Janelle On Monday, July 28 at 7:41 am
That looks so good. I love just about anything that includes avocado. YUM!!!!
peggy On Monday, July 28 at 7:41 am
Heidi A On Monday, July 28 at 7:41 am
That looks perfect for a summer day. Alas, here in Seattle it's pretty tough to grow tomatoes (not enough warmth/sun); we had tomato plants on our deck for years and finally gave it up last year. But I having grown up in IL I remember real tomatoes straight from the garden.
Betsey On Monday, July 28 at 7:42 am
We make a very similar sandwich…
Cut a pita in half to make pockets. Spread hummus inside pocket. Add slices of red onion, cucumber, tomato, lettuce…really whatever veggies you have around and feel like adding. If you're feeling decadent, add some sliced olives. Sprinkle in a little feta cheese. Then add the secret sauce – plain yogurt with a little lemon juice, dill, and salt. Yum.
Ryan Detzel On Monday, July 28 at 7:42 am
It must be bagel season, because I've been making a serious amount of bagel sandwiches as of late. That thing looks huge and amazing!
Liz-RedApron On Monday, July 28 at 7:43 am
Thank you for using WISCONSIN cheese
This sandwich sounds wonderful. All of it except for the sprouts.
Chagrin On Monday, July 28 at 7:43 am
Looks yummy! I love sprouts.
Jen W. On Monday, July 28 at 7:47 am
Thanks for planning out lunch for me! Saves me from having to exert any brainpower this early in the morning. Now, back to my regularly scheduled coffee slurping.
Liz-RedApron On Monday, July 28 at 7:47 am
I agree with Becky (#67). As a former cheese head, now in Jersey, they DO have the best tomatoes. Slap some Mayo on bread, layer with fresh tomatoes and muesnter = Heaven
We also love muenster cheese. When my punk was a toddler, he'd help me order at the deli "Monster cheese, please". He's now several inches taller than me (must be all that muenster) and still calls it Monster cheese.
michelle On Monday, July 28 at 7:49 am
Ree, I have the biggest possible girl-crush on you. The next time you're anywhere near Atlanta, come by my house and we can cook. And drink wine. And talk about how we have both managed to misplace 14″ serrated bread knives.
Wendy On Monday, July 28 at 7:49 am
I have that every weekday for lunch. One day I got the idea to marinate the cukes, tomato, avocado and onions in rice vinegar and garlic. OMG — amazing!! I also make 10 grain whole wheat bread to put it on instead of the bagels.
country girl On Monday, July 28 at 7:49 am
while you were still talking..the sandwhich and i got married and he misses you but is content and happy here in the city….
remember him when alfalfa sprouts in your barn….unless it is too painful. then i understand..
but he will always love you.
corrie On Monday, July 28 at 7:51 am
Mmmmmm!! Everything was mouth watering this post!
margie On Monday, July 28 at 7:51 am
our family owns the only jewish bakery still making all of its doughs by hand. this exact sandwich is equally good on pumpernickel bread!! a favourite of ours. when we eat it on a bagel we call it an israeli bagel. this film tells the story of how the bakery first started in the ukraine in the early 1900 and is still being run here in ottawa 100 years later by the same family,
Iva On Monday, July 28 at 7:54 am
The sandwich, looks yummy. I'm afraid it would have to be a lunch with just me and kiddos, however. The Man Beast wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole – no meat and the sprouts. I just know he's missin' out.
While black wool suits provide inspiration for cool, yummy sandwiches, you should go to church in comfy clothes. You're among friends, after all.
Rosemarie On Monday, July 28 at 7:55 am
Yummy! I used to make these for lunch all the time when I worked for the YMCA camps during summers in college. It really does help in ridiculous heat. I called it a Salad Sandwich and got all the other counselors hooked.
Thanks for the tip to add the cheese, though!
Andrea On Monday, July 28 at 7:55 am
LOVE the heart in the center of the tomato!
I see hearts in nature many places and have a wonderful collection of heart shaped rocks.
I agree with you about the red (purple) onions. I think I am going to begin to call them "purple onions".
Love your blog.

Looking good. I love bagels and when my hubby and I were first married and totally broke bagel sandwiches were a staple. I love your blog and would give you my blog address but I know you are too busy and important to read anything written by my sorry arse, but I'm so glad I happened upon yours.
Ronda in Virginia On Monday, July 28 at 7:57 am
great googly moogly! is it lunch time yet?
… what the heck! It's lunch time somewhere, right?
so if you will excuse me, I'll just be over here slicing up some veggies. and trying not to eat all the cheese before I get a sammich made.
Kathy On Monday, July 28 at 7:58 am
Those aren't necessarily veggies I'm big on, but I'm learning to like them a little. And it's so dang hot here I'm willing to try almost anything that doesn't require me cooking & heating up the house. I've never tried muenster either, but I'm game because I love cheese! Gotta add some things to my grocery list for this morning now!
cybercita On Monday, July 28 at 7:58 am
but ree! you didn't show my favorite trick, which is getting the pit out of the avocado {i amazed a dinner guest with this last week}. hit the pit sharply with your knife, which will cause the blade to sink in a bit. then twist the knife, and the pit will pop right out. then knock the pit against the counter, and it will fall right off of the blade.
if it's any consolation, i lift weights quite frequently, really heavy ones for a girl, and even do bench presses two or three times a week, and my arms are still not that great. i wear sleeveless anyway because i feel that i deserve to after all that work.
Michelle On Monday, July 28 at 8:02 am
Yumo! This reminds me of something from http://www.einsteinbros.com/
I absolutely LOVE bagel sandwiches but its a rare treat when I get to have one since my husband thinks of them as fru-fru pansy ass real men don't eat stuff like that and where's the meat? Thanks for the inspiration to go ahead and make myself one at home and said husband can just make himself a sloppy joe!
Pupydogs On Monday, July 28 at 8:04 am
looks great!
never considered a veggie bagel sandwich before. I will have to see what I've been missing.
Hey when are we going to see the next chapter in your love story? I check daily and its been over a month since the last one. As you can see, I WANT to read the next chapter cause i need to find out what happens…..I'm addicted….please? help?

Have you tried Vidalia Onions? http://www.vidaliaonion.org/ They are a sweet onion grown in Vidalia, Georgia and are, in this southern girl's opinion, the best onion on the planet.
Jane M On Monday, July 28 at 8:05 am
Great lookin sandwich!
Michelle On Monday, July 28 at 8:05 am
Good heavens. You can even make a sandwich look amazing
Cheryl On Monday, July 28 at 8:05 am
Ooo that looks soo good! But as I am not that big on some of those veggies (sprouts,lettuce,avacado and the onions) I don't know if I will even enjoy this, but I am damn well gonna try! If I don't eat it, my youngest definately will…I guess I can learn a few things from her hahaha!
Kara On Monday, July 28 at 8:06 am
Yum! Wish I were anywhere close to a bagel and sprouts right now!

I agree with you about everyone planting at least one tomato plant! This year in the garden, we simply have planted what we use the most… tomatoes, peppers, and every herb under the sun. It makes life easy. And the garden is the most beautiful thing in the yard!

Interpretive Handbook
9301 :
Doxepin and Nordoxepin, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Doxepin is recommended for the treatment of psychoneurotic patients with depression or anxiety, and depression or anxiety associated with alcoholism or organic disease.
Nordoxepin (N-desmethyldoxepin) is the major metabolite and is usually present at concentrations equal to doxepin. Optimal efficacy occurs at combined serum concentrations between 50 and 150 ng/mL.
Like other tricyclic antidepressants, the major toxicity of doxepin is expressed as cardiac dysrhythmias, which occur at concentrations in excess of 300 ng/mL. Other side effects include nausea, hypotension, and dry mouth.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Monitoring therapy
Evaluating potential toxicity
Evaluating patient compliance
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Most individuals display optimal response to doxepin when combined serum levels of doxepin and nordoxepin are between 50 and 150 ng/mL. Some individuals may respond well outside of this range, or may display toxicity within the therapeutic range; thus, interpretation should include clinical evaluation. Risk of toxicity is increased with combined levels > or =300 ng/mL.
Therapeutic ranges are based on specimens drawn at trough (ie, immediately before the next dose).
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Doxepin analytical interferences: sertraline may cause falsely low results, and venlafaxine, diphenhydramine, chlorpromazine, promazine, ethopropazine, or amlodipine may cause false elevations.
Nordoxepin analytical interference: sertraline may cause falsely low results.
This test cannot be performed on whole blood. Serum must be separated from cells within 2 hours of drawing; if serum is not removed within this time, drug levels may be falsely elevated due to drug release from RBCs.
Specimens that are obtained from gel tubes are not acceptable.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Therapeutic concentration (doxepin + nordoxepin): 50-150 ng/mL
Toxic concentration (doxepin + nordoxepin): > or =300 ng/mL
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Woman who accused Dr. Calvin Day of sexual assault speaks to KSAT
Laura Newcomb: It was never an option for me not to go forward with this
SAN ANTONIO - The woman who accused dermatologist Dr. Calvin Day of sexually assaulting her during a 2010 office visit said there was never any doubt that she would press charges.
"It was never an option for me not to go forward with this," said Laura Newcomb.
Last month during Day's trial, she testified that Day touched her and made sexually inappropriate advances during a visit to his office.
Day was convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to six months house arrest, 10 years probation, 300 hours of community service and fined $10,000.
He has since filed an appeal to the conviction.
Newcomb said that she is trying to move on since the trial.
"I knew that I had to get to a point where I had to forgive," she said.
Newcomb said that she is going to establish a foundation to help others who have been sexually oppressed or victimized by someone in a position of respect -- such as a doctor -- or by someone in authority.
"I said, you know, somebody's got to do it. Somebody has to give these women a platform to educate and inform them," Newcomb said.
Newcomb said she plans go get Sen. Carlos Uresti and the sheriff involved in her effort.

Soaps Boards :: The Young and the Restless Forum :: Lily (No Bash)
Please register and login to be able to post in this message board.
. Someday all you'll have to light the way will be a single ray of hope, and that will be enough. — Kobi Yamada. ]
Good night, Miss Lily! I do not envy you the pack of people surrounding you at this time. Cut Neil loose! Too bad he's your dad; but I am sick of this lowlife! Tell him to take his latest sexual conquest with him. You need to be free of these folks. Enjoy the evening! Have a great night! I will holler at you again next time.
Hello MsSuperSuds,
Quote shalaydra75: Hello MsSuperSuds,
I have a few questions for you. Do you think that CK was set to portray Mariah? Do you think it would have elevated her career or do you think that the Tily fans wanted that connection?
Hey Shalaydra! I think dopplegangers & twins have been overused to the point that the audience in General is sick of them. Marge as Kay's doppleganger was the last & only decent one done on Y&R; but I believe she was created by Bill Bell back in the day & brought back for a second run by MAB who had no creative ideas of her own. This woman introduced impulsive sexual hookups as storylines & they have taken over the soap landscape to the point that many younger viewers expect the cheating & instant hookups from all soap couples. I don't mind a sexual tryst providing there is a valid reason for it within a storyline. Gratuitous sex---NO!!!
Playing double roles as both Lily & Mariah might have given CK MORE SCREEN TIME BUT it would have killed both Lily & LANE! I don't think playing Mariah would have helped CK on the show or kept viewers from walking away.. I think that Tily fans wanted CK playing Mariah so she could be w/ their guy. Y&R was wise not to risk losing a HUGE number of fans just to satisfy a few Tilyites. Most LANE fans dislike the dude & feel that he would do little to nothing to enhance Lily or CK on the show. I was and still am ready to walk away from Y&R completely if that foolishness happens--as are many other LANERS. & viewers at large. some have already walked away & will no return. Once something like that happens to wreck "a solid couple," most folks decide they don't like it & it's too late to do anything to correct the mistake. There is no turning back! Such is the case w/ LANE & CK playing dual roles as both Lily & Mariah.
Shalaydra, Viewers thought they wanted to see Cane w/ Chloe; but once they were put together, LANERS & the audience in general couldn't stand them. MAB pushed them together for as long as she could but she alienated a lot of viewers who walked away & have not returned to this day. MAB also thought the audience wanted to see Lily w/ Daniel Romalotti but once she KILLED Cane to make the pairing happen, folks started turning off the TV, watching GH & campaigning to get DG back. MAB was forced by ratings & Sony to bring DG back & halt the pairing w/ Lily & Daniel. Same w/ JFP/JG & Tily or DG W/ Chelsea. You don't mess w/ success! If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Hey MsSuperSuds,
Quote shalaydra75: Hey MsSuperSuds,
Thanks for giving me your opinion. I look at soaps and base my opinion on nothing more than what I like. I know absolutely nothing about "great acting," actors stepping up and improving their careers and etc. Some many posters have called EH a great actress, but to me, she cannot to romance, which is a key formula for daytime soaps. None of the "great actors appeal to me.
I assure you my view of what writers have done to Lily/Cane/Lane is as dim as yours if not dimer. Lots of posters get tired of the race question, but I maintain had the Lily character been white, writers would have elevated her to superstar status and Lane would be an untouchable couple. My parents own a business and I have worked as a volunteer for fundraising projects for my favorite charities. I know that businesses crave free advertisement. Lane fan gave Y&R free advertisement; when they hyped their couple, they did not denounce other characters. In other words, their activism granted Y&R a net gain.
When I look at the ugly threads about Lily, I see them as nothing but an effort to clip CK rising star. Although she dresses similar to other soap characters, she is constantly criticized. She is not able to speak up to those who wronged her.
I love JG's writing; however, to his detriment, he relied on MAB's formula (listening to the extreme minority who post on the boards). I do not believe JG was pushing Tily so hard because he wanted Cane to become a major player and he did not want Lily by Cane's side when he rose. MAB and JG tried to relegated Lily to 2 lackluster characters-Daniel and Tyler.
In JG's defense, I do believe he wanted to write for Lily & Cane to make up for the past beatings they had suffered from MAB. I do believe he was hampered by JFP who wanted to elevate her FOJs. They worked together on Hollywood Heights. JFP used JG to get hired at Y&R b/c the cast knew him;he had been here before. Things did not work out like he thought they would. JG became frustrated and almost suffered a nervous breakdown. He decided he had enough & walked off citing "Irreconcilable differences" as the reason. I think he was tired of fighting with JFP & caving to her demands. I believe JFPs plan was to run him off anyway. He wrote for Lily & Cane in 2008 when he took over for LML as HW/EP and did a good job for & with them. The trouble started when MAB took over.
The current messy situation of Y&R is JFP's headache & the show is not getting any better as I write this. As for the Mariah situation, I am glad that Lily was not wrecked by having to assume that role. Too many fans are not pleased with the prospect of Camryn Grimes being Mariah. The least Y&R could have done was to hire a brown-skinned person to play the part and leave Fake Cassie to the Newmans. Same with the Neil/Hilary mess! Too many crazy mistakes made to correct the situation; but the least the writers could have done is to leave the Winters family in tact--which they are not going to do. Lets hope that something good happens for Cane & Lily soon. A wrecking ball named Hilary is working hard to destroy this family. I am not concerned about Neil at the moment; he gets what he deserves. Hilary is not thru with this dude yet. By the time this team of writers finish w/ this show, it will finish the train wreck for which MAB laid a solid foundation.
Hey MsSuperSuds,
Quote shalaydra75: Hey MsSuperSuds,
Thanks for giving me background information. I deeply respect yours and most core Lane fans' knowledge about the back-scenes. I just know little about ratings because posters kept saying that Lane was not popular. That seemed so incredulous to me because on youtube Lane's clips were much more popular than all others and numerous people were uploading them. What stood out to me was the diversity within the playlist of the people who were uploading Lane's clips. For instance, one had clips of interracial couples, another had clips of old black music and movies, another had clips of numerous fictional couples and on and on.
I know that I am meandering, but I say this because when I examined the ratings, I found that Y&R rarely thrived when Lane was separated. The only time it had good ratings during the couple's break up was when Brad died. I think that is why MAB began to cannibalized her characters.
It just seems to me that if I know this JG certainly should have known. I definitely should have quit before the Tily/Chane 2 mess.
As a GL fan and by looking at GH's ratings during JFP's tenure, I know that she is terrible writer. I wish that JG would have outflanked her by writing s/ls that would boast the ratings.
Shalaydra, JFP is not a writer; she is the Executive Producer or traffic controller of the whole show. Josh Griffith was the HW or head writer who walked off. Now JFP brought over from GH her own HWs, Altman & Passanante, who know nothing about the history of Y&R--which is evident from the mess they have been putting on screen. What the JFPs whole team seem to forget is that there is a huge AA audience--bigger for Y&R than any other soap--who watch this soap religiously. I read in the local AA newspaper sometime ago that AAs make up at least 36% of the viewing audience. Victoria Rowell, ex-Drucilla Winters, states that AAs make up 50% of the audience. Whichever is true, AAs are watching and whenever the Winters are decimated w/o solid replacement, no one really cares about the rest. All the breakups, makeups & remarriages for Nikki/Victor, Sharon/Nick, & character assasinations for the rest of the cast of characters have soured viewers on the show. JFP is doing little to nothing to correct those mistakes. When Cane was killed and Lily was paired w/ Daniel romalotti, Y&R reportedly lost approximately 900,000 viewers in the first month & gave GH its first toehold into the younger 18-34 demographic. JFP was at the helm of GH. That was big news for GH but she did not understand reasons behind their gain. Not one official wants to admit that the ratings have not been the same for Y&R since then. I am way beyond that demo in age; but I continue to let GH run on my TV to this day even though I don't care much for the show. I also stopped watching Y&R daily & now watch only when Cane & Lily are on--which is seldom. The worst thing that Y&R did for promotional purposes of the show was to close down the sites of videographers who made LANE videos. So many folks found us thru those videos & started watching the show. LANE also has a huge international viewing audience who are months behind us in stories but they found us on YouTube. Not many can get access thru the on line CBS network. I have made twitter friends from Canada, Australia, South Africa, France,the Carribean,etc. At the rate the show is going now w/ the new bland & boring cast, I cannot see the same happening for any story, character or recently formed couple.

People should take steps to protect themselves from mosquitoes that can carry West Nile Virus because more cases of the potentially deadly disease are being reported, health officials said Wednesday.
We felt it necessary for folks to understand that the threat of West Nile Virus is still out there, said Jim Beasley, spokesman for the state Department of Health and Environmental Control.
The number of people who have been infected with the virus now stands at 41 statewide, including two cases in Charleston County and one in Berkeley County. That is up from 28 cases reported in South Carolina about three weeks ago. Three deaths caused by West Nile happened in August in Aiken, Darlington and Cherokee counties. Until this year, only one person in South Carolina had died from West Nile in more than a decade of tracking the disease.
Mosquitoes can be active in the fall, even after extended periods of cold weather, said Chris
Evans, an entomologist with the DHEC Bureau of Laboratories.
Insect repellant containing DEET and protective clothing are recommended, particularly in the early morning and evening when exposure to mosquitoes is most common, DHEC said. Doors and windows should have tight-fitting screens. Eliminate standing water in places such as tire ruts, flowerpots, old car tires, rain gutters and pet bowls.

Hamad: In the name of God, the Merciful, the Beneficent. On behalf of my country I welcome our guest, the American Secretary of Defense. I had discussions with the U.S. Secretary of Defense, then he met with His Highness the Heir Apparent, and he will have a meeting tomorrow with His Highness the Emir. The visit comes in the context of close bilateral relations between the State of Qatar and the U.S. and continued consultations on developments in the Gulf region and on developments in U.S.-Qatari ties. I now invite my brothers the journalists to ask questions of the Secretary.
Cohen: Let me make a brief opening statement. Sheikh Hamad and I have just completed our third meeting this year, and I have met with the Crown Prince twice: once in Doha, and also in Washington; and tomorrow I will meet with the Emir. And this reflects the very close working relationship that our two governments have. Our soldiers have served together in war and now also serve together in promoting peace. We have had occasion to discuss the issue of weapons of mass destruction, and noting that the United States strongly supports the U.N. Security Council resolution to insist upon compliance on the part of the Iraqi government with the Security Council resolutions. As we have indicated before, we do not seek confrontation, but we do insist upon full compliance with those resolutions that will help contain the spread of weapons of mass destruction. In addition, we also discussed the subject matter of terrorism, and acts of terrorism must be condemned wherever they occur. And we also discussed ways in which we might cooperate in the future to help deter and to defeat any acts of terrorism directed against our Government or our people. So I am pleased to be back in Doha, and I am very pleased to have the opportunity to share a few moments with the Foreign Minister and with the Crown Prince. I look forward to tomorrow's meeting.
Q: Excellency, the International Court of Justice yesterday issued a decision on the island of 'Hanish' in favor of Yemen. How do you view this ruling in the light of the Qatari-Bahraini border dispute?
Hamad: As for the Qatari-Bahraini dispute, I do not want to mention it now, as this is not the place for it. We hope to develop relations with our brothers in Bahrain, and we hope that this issue will be solved in the court in a way that is mutually pleasing to both us and our brothers in Bahrain. Regarding Hanish, I think it is civilized and good that the court made this decision and both sides accepted it.
Q: Your Excellency had mentioned that one of this tour's goals is to set up an air-defense system in the region with U.S. support. What is the purpose of this system? Is it primarily aimed at Iran and Iraq? The second question: you mentioned during your press conference in Bahrain that the military option against Iraq still exists. What are the reasons for attacking Iraq now, especially since it has cooperated and implemented many of the (U.N.) resolutions?
Cohen: With respect to the cooperation on the part of the United States and the GCC States, we believe that we have been a very stabilizing force and have contributed to peace and stability in the region. And we hope to maintain these very strong ties with the Gulf countries in order to maintain that peace and stability. And so one of the reasons for my trip here is to reaffirm the very strong bonds that we have and will continue to have. With respect to Iraqi compliance with the Security Council resolutions, it has become very clear that Saddam Hussein has refused to fully comply with the Memorandum of Understanding that was negotiated by Secretary General Kofi Annan last February. And Saddam has refused, for example, to allow full, unfettered inspections. He has not complied with the Security Council resolutions, and that's why the Secretary General and the Security Council members have indicated unanimously that he is not in compliance, and therefore there can be no comprehensive review of the sanctions. We are hopeful that Saddam Hussein will agree to fully abide by his commitment, the one that he made to the Secretary General last February. And we are also hopeful that the Security Council will stand behind its resolution. Otherwise, those resolutions will not have much credibility in the future. So we are hoping that Saddam will comply so that he will not continue to inflict suffering upon his own people. Because the easiest thing for him to do is to simply fully comply with the Security Council Resolutions, and the sanctions can be lifted. So he is keeping the sanctions on and depriving his people by his actions. But we're hopeful that he will see the wisdom and the need to comply, and that's the reason why the Security Council has suspended the review of the sanction. And until he complies, they have insisted that the sanctions remain in place. This is a decision not by the United States; it's by the Security Council itself. And so it is Saddam Hussein vs. the United Nations, not Saddam Hussein against the United States.
Q: Has there been any movement in deploying forces to Kosovo? Have you signed any deployment orders; have there been any assets, any equipment moved toward Kosovo? And also, if that's the case, are you considering changes in your itinerary this week?
Cohen: I am not contemplating any changes in the itinerary at this point, and so I fully expect to complete the visits to all of the Gulf states before heading back to Washington on Wednesday. I would expect some forces to be moved in the next day or two that would include B-52s. And so I expect that to take place, to put them in place so that should the ACT ORD be assigned the next several days that those aircraft could be available for the SACEUR to use should he deem it necessary to do so.
Q: Diego Garcia?
Cohen: No, it would be to the European Theater.
Q: Your Excellency Mr. Minister, since we are talking about Iraq, is it true that a high-ranking Iraqi official will visit Doha soon?
Hamad: Until now, there has been no specific discussion to that effect. There is some talk of a visit by the Iraqi Foreign Minister, and of course if he wants to come to Doha, this is possible. We would listen to his point of view, and we would advise him as Arab brothers. While there is talk of a visit, no dates have been decided upon.
Q: Your Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs, you played an effective and positive role in preventing tension between the United Nations -- or perhaps the United States -- and Iraq when Iraq asked international inspectors to leave. There is now tension between Turkey and Syria; will Qatar offer similar mediation?
Hamad: Of course we do not object to any mediation effort that will ease conflict, especially in the Middle East and especially between Turkey and Syria. But I think that there are mediations taking place now, and we hope that the two countries will use wisdom in resolving their differences and not resort to force. I think it is wrong for Muslims to try to solve conflicts between them by taking up arms.
Q: It is known that President Bill Clinton wants comprehensive and just peace in the Middle East region, but Israel does not want that, so it sent Monica Lewinsky in order to have him overthrown. Why are investigations involving Monica Lewinsky leaving out this issue?
Cohen: I think I understand what you are saying. (Laughter.) Let me say that there is nothing taking place at the domestic level in Washington or our country that would inhibit President Clinton and Secretary Albright from continuing to push for a Middle East peace settlement. You will have taken note that I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu and Chairman Arafat met only, I believe, once last year. They have met on three occasions just in the past week, and next week in Washington there will be a so-called Washington Summit. So I think there is every reason to be encouraged of reaching an agreement in the very near future. And President Clinton has been devoting his energies and efforts to bringing that about. And nothing is going to divert his attention from that goal.
Q: Does your country still perceive Iran as a threat to regional security, and therefore pursue the policy of dual containment?
A: Cohen: The answer - sorry; go ahead.
Q: The related question is, what if Iran chooses to invade Afghanistan? What is your position?
A: Cohen: If Iran invades Afghanistan? That is a decision for Iran to make. We would not take any position in terms of picking sides in either case. We believe, as the Iranians have tried to do, is to find a diplomatic way of resolving the issue. But they are concerned that their diplomats have been murdered. They continue to find that there are assaults made upon some of their people, and therefore they have demanded that that cease and desist. Hopefully, their concerns can be reconciled and resolved by diplomatic methods. But that's a decision the Iranians will have to make, and it's not for the United States to say.
Q: Sharma: And on dual containment?
A: Cohen: I'm sorry; with respect to dual containment, we intend to continue that policy. We believe it's important that weapons of mass destruction not continue to spread as they have been spreading. We think that the sanctions have been responsible for curtailing Saddam's effort to build a nuclear, chemical, and biological weaponry capability; and that the same is true as for Iran. We have been encouraged somewhat by the changes that the Khatami government has made. But I must say that his moderation and the moderation that he reflects as far as the changes taking place in Iranian society have not yet been translated into changes in foreign policy. The United States has indicated that we are prepared to undertake talks with Iranian officials on a government-to-government basis, provided that we see some change in the external behavior of the Iranians in three different categories: number one, that they stop trying to undermine the Middle East peace process; that they stop supporting terrorists and terrorism; and -- the third point -- that they stop trying to obtain weapons of mass destruction. Should they indicate that they are prepared to make changes in these three areas, which do in fact contribute to a destabilizing effect and a very dangerous one, then we are prepared to return to a much more normalized relationship with them. But we have seen no evidence of that to date, and therefore the dual-containment policy remains in effect.
Q (to Hamad): Regarding the presence of military forces and equipment in Doha, did you discuss a specific timing for the departure of the equipment and forces? (to Cohen) The rumor is that the goal of your visit is marketing new arms deals with Gulf countries, especially after the recent deal with the United Arab Emirates.
Hamad: Regarding the presence of American troops, there is a defense agreement between us and America. The agreement is valid for a few years and calls for military cooperation, including allowing the presence and storage of American equipment in Qatar. This cooperation is not related to a particular crisis or time period but is linked to the agreement signed between the United States and Qatar.
Cohen: With respect to the second question, I did not come here to sell anything but goodwill and to express our appreciation for the strong relationship that exists between our two countries. I believe that it's important for us to continue as friends and partners to consult. I came to consult with the Foreign Minister, to consult with the Crown Prince, and to consult with the Emir, and basically to reaffirm the bonds of our friendship. And also, in the process - while I'm in the region - to visit our troops that are currently deployed, to express to them my thanks for the great sacrifice they make by being a long way away from home, to miss birthdays and celebrations of their families. Many of them have children born while they are deployed far away from home. And so it was an effort on my part to meet with our troops to express our thanks, and to meet with my counterparts and friends in the region to also express my thanks. But I came bearing no gifts and not seeking to sell anything. The only gift I've brought is that of friendship. I take that back; we did bring small gifts. (Laughter.)
Q: When you speak about weapons of mass destruction, what you usually do is mention Iraq, you mention Iran; sometimes the United States mentions Syria, other countries in the region - Libya. Israel is never mentioned, although it has the ultimate weapon of mass destruction, the nuclear bomb. It also has - what experts believe (it) to have - biological weapons. The admission on the Israeli part that the Israeli cargo plane that crashed in Holland five years ago carried material that can be used in the manufacture of biological weapons. Don't you think that you are carrying this one-sided view a bit too far?
A: Cohen: Well, as I recall, Israel has not used any weapons of mass destruction. I believe Saddam Hussein has, however. And once that has been manifested, then we think it's important that it be contained. To the extent that other countries are developing this capability, we do not support that. We are trying to contain the spread, wherever they take place, of weapons of mass destruction.
Q (to Hamad): Do you agree with the American view of constant threats to launch a new attack to Iraq, and in light of your discussions with Mr. Cohen, do you think that a new war in the region is likely?
Hamad: We are opposed in general to attacks on Iraq, and we also ask Iraq to adhere to United Nations resolutions. We in Qatar always call for calm in the region. It was with this mindset that I went to Baghdad in January. The current situation, I think, does not require much concern but rather more effort to convince all parties to fulfill commitments to what has been agreed upon between the United Nations and Iraq. If there is commitment, I think that there will be no need for strikes. If there is no commitment, we must all try to resolve this issue to the extent possible via diplomatic efforts. I think that this is in line with what I discussed with the American Secretary of Defense today.
Q (to Cohen): It has been observed that the U.S. places a high priority on rallying international support for what it calls terrorism. Yet at the same time many Arab and international observers accuse the U.S. of practicing terrorism, particularly in reference to the recent U.S. strike on the pharmaceutical plant in Sudan. Why did America reject a plan to carry out an international investigation of the strike, which it claims was manufacturing materials for chemical weapons? And a related question: does the U.S. expect new attacks against its interests in light of current American policy?
A: Cohen: The short answer to the question about whether the United States would agree to an investigation: the answer is, we don't think it's necessary to do so. I personally reviewed the information pertaining to the Shifaa plant. I was satisfied that the information pointed very clearly that chemicals, so-called precursor chemicals for the manufacture of VX, were discovered. The history behind Osama bin Laden's activities in Sudan, his contribution to the military-industrial corporation, of which this plant was also a part; and the information we had that he was seeking to acquire and has been seeking to acquire chemical weapons, was very persuasive as far as I'm concerned about the need to have struck that as a target.
As I have pointed out, the terrorists who have attacked American embassies have done so with the purpose of killing as many people as possible. They killed 267 people, most of them Africans. They wounded 5,000 people, most of them -- if not all -- Africans. And by contrast, the United States, in seeking to send a very strong message to terrorists that their actions will not go without response, tried very hard to limit the amount of casualties. And if you look at what took place in the Shifaa plant, there was only one. But I think that's important to keep in mind in terms of how the United States approaches this compared to the terrorists who seek to inflict as many massive casualties as possible.
With respect to terrorism in the future, the answer is yes. We believe - and we have sufficient evidence to believe - that a number of terrorist actions have been planned and will - the attempt will be made to carry them out. We intend to remain as vigilant as possible and as intense and intensive as we can about preventing those acts from being carried out and the destruction that would go with them, not only to our buildings and facilities but also to our diplomats and embassy people and innocent individuals associated with the embassies. So we expect that this will be continued for a long time. We've tried to indicate to our public that they must be prepared for this on a long-term basis, and that we need to work very cooperatively with all of our allies and all of our friends to combat this type of terrorism from being carried out.
Cohen: Thank you very much.
Hamad: Thank you.

Combining the two with RC helicopters that shoot, and receive, laser beams just like laser tag, well that's Head-Explodingly fun. The fun is only compounded by the fact that a laser hit makes the copter spin out of control and crash.

Year-round group, Haunted Knoxville Ghost Tours, is offering up some paranormal hunting this October.
The group will offer tours Thursdays at 10:00 pm, and Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm and 10:00 pm during the month of October.
The cost is $20 and the founder, J-Adam Smith, says attendants will get to take part in the tour with their own equipment to look for activity.
The members of the group say they do more than just tours, they also investigate homes.
Smith said, "We're not ghost hunters or ghost adventures, we're actually here to do something positive. So, we actually help out the spirits in the home itself get released, or help the people that live there get control of their home. So, we are actually trying to do something so we are a spirit release type of organization."

Looks like old Updyke has a real feisty "mail order bride" there!!
It's not about this idiot singer. It is about the lifeguards that will have to put their lives at risks to try and save him when he or the 11 year old get swept out to sea. Personally, if double reds are flying, lifeguards should not be allowed to attempt rescue. Darwin's Law at that point should come into play.
Must be the "Criminal Justice" building!! But at Bishop State someone needs to strike out the "Justice" on the building after her name is put up on it though.

Best story I have read all year! Congratulations and good luck in the future young man.
Sadly enough. Based on the tax rate I pay. I probably pay much more in taxes than you. With that being said, separate from the point that is being made, Mr Mason has been working for you for 27 years and You and Baldwin county ( I live in Mobile) need to compensate him for his services.
redwing10 will be showing up next weekend to take over mowing and weeding of the property. The county should now compensate Mr. Mason for the improvements and maintenance for the last 27 years. If it were not for Mr. Mason the property would now be washed away and/or covered with weeds and trash.
War Eagle! Welcome to your new Home away-from-Home. Auburn will be a great place for you, just as it was for me.
Great potential. Good luck at FSU. The fans of any school that say their team did not want him are full of themselves and need to stop drinking the Koo-laid.
Typical.. Blame someone else for your stupidity. Sometimes things don't go your way. Suck it up and move on. Don't make the same mistake next time. If you do, it is your fault. Welcome to responsibility.
He is paying the child support. He is not required to pay "Mama support"..... Just another person looking for a "Free Ride". How many more children does she have?? We are talking about court required support here, not the extras that he may give his child on his own prerogative.
TourBus, in a "perfect " world people would vote based on merit. In reality the people of Prichard have been voting by race for the last 50 years. Whites ( and many blacks) have decided to move rather then suffer the consequence. Don't be naive, race has destroyed the once prosperous city of Prichard.
Picture makes the Fairhope police force look like a militia. I do not know any of the parties to this story, but if I were on the jury, the officer may be made to rethink his arrest practices. Police are there to "Protect and Serve", not feed their own ego or make up for their own "shortcomings". I sincerely hope this officer acted appropriately or he and Fairhope may have to "pay" for it if not.
It's Bush's Fault!!!
Never had any of his money in it. Just paid to endorse it. On the other hand, Mike Dow had no money of his own in it either, but he was being paid $10,000/month to be a cheerleader for the "project"( I have also heard it was only $7,000/month).
Shameless media monger. It is all about getting his name in the paper to promote his business. He would do the same to his mother if it put a dollar in his pocket. Sheridan is a media whore!!

Lande: Risers, fallers from South practice
MOBILE, Ala. -- A look at six players who helped their draft stock during the North's practice Tuesday morning and six North players who hurt themselves on Day 2 of Senior Bowl week:
Good impressions
Kendric Burney, CB, North Carolina. He showed superb ball skills with a diving interception and several pass breakups. Burney (5-9, 181) showed fluid hips to play tight man coverage and very quick feet, which allowed him to make plays in space. He showed strong coverage awareness and patience against double moves. However, on a few plays, he opened up his hips too soon and didn't show the ability to close quickly. As a run defender, he was late to recognize the run and wasn't aggressive in support.
Titus Young, WR, Boise State. Young (5-11¼, 174) showed off his athleticism running routes. He displayed explosiveness on his breaks, especially on double moves downfield. He caught the ball much more consistently than he did on Monday. He will definitely contribute as a return specialist as a rookie.
Cameron Jordan, DE, California. He has an arsenal of pass-rush moves and uses them to defeat his man in a variety of ways. Jordan (6-4 1/8, 287) showed quick, active hands and was a disruptive force all morning. Although he isn't the biggest or strongest as a point-of-attack run defender, he uses his hands to quickly shed blocks along the line.
Sione Fua, DT, Stanford. He has a stout, squat frame and played like a bull inside during the practice. Fua (6-1 3/4, 307) consistently pushed the pocket as a pass rusher and disrupted the running game. He appears to be a good candidate as a 3-4 nose tackle.
Lawrence Wilson, LB, Connecticut. As a run defender, Wilson (6-0 3/4, 225) showed quick hands to strike and shed the tight end along the line. He did a nice job of clearing trash and showed a good burst to close on the ball for a big hit on the sideline during 9-on-7 drills. He showed good quickness during the one-on-one pass-rush drill and also demonstrated strong ability to battle and cover tight ends in man coverage.
Jason Pinkston, OT, Pittsburgh. Although Colorado's Nate Solder and Boston College's Anthony Castonzo have better frames and higher draft value at the position, Pinkston (6-3 3/8, 313) was a very consistent and productive player in practice. He has a long-legged frame but plays from a strong lower base in all situations. He has a devastating punch, which he used to jolt defenders in pass protection. He showed only above-average lateral recovery against stunts and quick inside moves. But when he delivers his punch, it slows down the rusher and he can recover. He gets in trouble at times because of his overaggressiveness.
Jake Locker, QB, Washington. His accuracy was poor. Bad as his practice was on Monday, he was even worse Tuesday. After a wideout beat his man downfield on a post, Locker (6-2 1/4, 228) underthrew the ball severely and it was intercepted by the trailing corner. The coaches appeared to be trying to settle him down because he seemed rattled by his performance.
Richard Sherman, CB, Stanford. In his first practice after being added late, he looked out of place. Sherman (6-3, 192) showed stiff hips and a choppy backpedal in coverage. He missed jams several times and was beaten downfield. He didn't come close to making a play on the ball in the air. In the few times where he found himself in good coverage position, he didn't seem to anticipate the throw quickly.
Pierre Allen, DE, Nebraska. He looked slow off the ball at times and was offside on one play. Allen (6-3 7/8, 273) struggled to disengage from blockers and had trouble staying on his feet. He didn't show polished pass-rush moves.
Ryan Kerrigan, DE, Purdue. Kerrigan (6-3 7/8, 255) showed some bull-rush ability but not enough power to dominate bigger tackles at the NFL level. He didn't look well-developed with his hands as a pass rusher, and he struggled to disengage from blockers after contact as a run defender.
Jeremy Beal, DE, Oklahoma. Beal (6-2 3/8, 268) didn't show good hip flexibility or explosiveness coming out of his stance, and he wasn't consistent using his hands to disengage from blockers. He had success as a pass rusher off the edge a few times, largely due to his strong effort to finish to the quarterback. Overall, he didn't have a strong practice.
Kevin Kowalski, C, Toledo. His lack of arm length and natural athleticism showed up throughout practice. Kowalski (6-3 1/8, 300) has great competitiveness and toughness, and he did show strong hands to lock on to defenders at times. But he was consistently beaten off the ball by the more athletic and explosive defensive linemen.
