Bankrate: One of your daughters also does some personal training,
Lou Ferrigno: Well she does it part time now because she's involved
in producing a TV series for Warner Bros.
Bankrate: What is the most extravagant purchase you've made with a
Hulk paycheck?
Lou Ferrigno: I don't think I've ever bought anything really extravagant
besides my house, so I'd have to say my house in Santa Monica. It's a beautiful area and we're very happy here. But
I think I don't spend a lot of money because of my upbringing. We never had a lot of money growing up.
Bankrate: If you weren't a bodybuilder, the Hulk and fitness trainer,
what would you have become?
Lou Ferrigno: A psychiatrist. People like talking to me and I like helping
and motivating people. That's why I still do my motivational speaking. And I also work with the sheriff's department;
I'm a deputy sheriff and I work to motivate young kids. I also teach weapons training.
Bankrate: Why your involvement with children?
Lou Ferrigno: Because when I was younger, I had nobody to teach me. I
was very shy and introverted and nobody reached out to help me. My parents didn't have money to have me see a psychologist
or counselor. So being a role model myself, I'm very happy today to reach out and help kids because they need a
real-life superhero. I would have given anything to have had someone like myself when I was growing up. At this
stage in my life, I like giving back.
Bankrate: So you're a fitness trainer, motivational speaker, actor
and author. Are you more partial to one area over another?
Lou Ferrigno: Really, I'm passionate about all of them equally. I do a
lot of motivational speaking, a lot of fitness training and a lot of autograph signing at conventions. I am kind of
spread out with four or five different businesses that I have invested myself into.
Bankrate: Who were your role models or heroes?
Lou Ferrigno: I loved watching Hercules and I also thought (actor and
bodybuilder) Steve Reeves was a role model. As I got older, I thought Sean Connery was a good role model as James
Bond. We didn't have all the great comic characters we have today that kids look up to as role models.
Bankrate: You beat out Arnold Schwarzenegger for the part of the TV Hulk.
Did he ever say anything to you about losing that role?
Lou Ferrigno: No, it never really has come up and I think he's done very
well for himself without having done the Hulk. I know that at the time, he was happy for me because he really wanted
to go into movies and do his own thing. Everything worked out for the best for each of us, I think. He wanted to do
movies and I was very happy doing a TV series. I didn't want anybody else to play the Hulk but me, actually, because
I knew I was born to play that part. I've been the Hulk actually my whole life.
Bankrate: Do you have a favorite Hulk episode?
Lou Ferrigno: "King of the Beach," where I played a bodybuilder and the
Hulk, is probably one of my favorites.
Bankrate: Did you get to keep any of the mementoes from the series?
Lou Ferrigno: I do have a few clothes that I took with me. But I have the
largest Incredible Hulk memorabilia collection in the world that's priceless. Everything from toilet paper, dolls,
bicycles ... yeah, it's a great collection.

'Transformation' sales tax campaign launched
Originally published December 14, 2011 at 5:59 a.m., updated December 16, 2011 at 4:56 a.m.
With the Feb. 7 election only eight weeks away, the Jefferson City Area Chamber of Commerce's "Transformation Jefferson City" campaign shifted into a higher gear Tuesday.
"We're here today to kick off the final phase of the campaign, as we try to inform the voters of Jefferson City how important this issue is," co-chairman Phil Freeman told reporters and a group of supporters at the campaign's new headquarters, 718 E. Capitol Ave.
Supporters want Jefferson City voters to approve a half-cent sales tax increase for a 10-year period, which is predicted to raise more than $41 million to complete a list of 30 projects around the city.
Correction: The "Transformation Jefferson City" campaign office is at 718 E. Capitol Ave. The address was reported incorrectly in the original version of this story.

Good morning Guy's and Gal's I'm new to the forum and have been reading posts for the past few days. I find this to be a informative site and hope to gain alot more from it. I'll start out with before I even found this forum, common sense tells me that Wal-Mart bikes are junk. My ex-boss was really into road and mountain biking. He had a couple of Cannondale's and his friends had Specialized and so forth. I have rode good bikes and I know the difference. Unfortunatley I don't have that kind of money much less even $300 to spend on a bike. Summertime is around the corner and my girlfriend and I want to get into biking. We live in west Georgia where there is a nice bike track called the Silver Comet. I'm sure alot of you have heard of and use it if your from this area. Last Sunday we went and picked up two Roadmaster SX mountain bikes for $68 each and purchased a few necessity's. After bringing the bikes home and going over the entire bikes to tighten and adjust everything the best it could be, as opposed to the Wal-Mart bike afficionado, we went riding. As I figured the bikes rode exactly the way I thought, like CRAP, but for the mean time (2years?????) I will keep them until after I have purchased my house and get my financial situation straightened out (Divorce). Now for the question I want to ask you guys, they have a Schwinn aluminum model there that is 168.95. Yesterday I went and fiddled with it and tried to compare to the Roadmaster like I had purchased. The Schwinn seemed lighter and a little better built. I'm not sure if this is true or not. I know Schwinn's are not what they use to be back in the day from reading this forum. My question to you guys is, if you HAD to choose between the Roadmaster or the Schwinn, what would it be. This bike needs to last me about 2 years until I can afford, a good bike that I might spend $800 on. There is also another brand called NEXT which I have never heard of. Remember guys I can not spend over $200 and really need to choose between the two. Hopefully in two years or so I will get a real bike and post pictures for you and contribute more as I learn. I am looking forward to my new hobby, just hope my girlfriend will stay in it with me. I'll leave the three links so you can view the differences between the three, for those of you that will take the time to help me. Thanks in advance for any input you guy's give me. P.S. excuse the grammar, not a good subject of mine.

Carolina's defense was tremendous against San Francisco, but that's
nothing new. Here's, historically, the Panthers' scoring defense
against the best in modern NFL history:
1985 Bears: 124
1986 Bears: 117
2000 Ravens: 98
2002 Bucs: 109
2013 Chiefs: 111
2013 Panthers: 115
So, they're 2nd in scoring for the year, but nonetheless among the
all-time elite at this point in team history.
Even more chafing are that the two teams that Carolina gave up 20+
points to?
Buffalo (24th in scoring offense), Arizona (22nd scoring offense, 27th
in yards). Of course, both were losses, which is what really matters,
but it's also a spot in which the defense slipped up against teams that
don't play that good of offense. So, in some form, they could've been
better based on those two games.
They're going to need to be good again this week, there's no doubt of

Social Media and Your BusinessJune 22nd, 2012
If you have a job and want to keep it, there are few things you should know about social media use. If you're running a business and want to continue doing so, these guidelines also apply to you, and you may even want to share them with your employees.
The Medical Director for the Mayo Clinic Center for Social Media sums up wise social media policy in six words: Don't lie, don't pry. Don't steal, don't reveal. Don't cheat. Can't delete. This is most concise answer we've seen to the hundreds of social media questions we hear every day.
Social Media: A Helpful Tool, but Also a Potential Source of Trouble
If you're an employee of any company, anywhere, keep your job in mind as you roam around on the internet. Before you post anything, even the most harmless images and comments, imagine how you'd feel if these comments crossed your boss's desk. This happens far more often than you may realize. Your own boss may be curiously Googling your name right now. And every day, employees are fired from their jobs as a result of internet activity they assumed their employers would never see.
There's no such thing as a "secret" blog. And anonymity will protect you perfectly until the day it doesn't. Think about this before you disparage your boss or coworkers, and be cautious about praising or positively reviewing the products of your company's competitors.
Social Media for Employers and Business Owners
If you're a business owner, social media can get you into hot water for a different set of reasons. So to avoid this possibility, keep these simple tips in mind:
1. Be truthful. Don't lie or make exaggerated or questionable claims on your website. If you make a negative remark about a competitor, be sure you can verify this remark or your intentions may backfire and your reputation may suffer.
2. Don't pry. Never ask a candidate or existing employee for password access to any personal accounts. In fact, don't include personal social media profiles in any aspect of your candidate screening process. Not only can this expose you to accusations of discrimination, it can also alienate talented candidates and drive them away.
3. Don't steal. In other words, credit your sources. Don't use images or quotes taken from any source without permission. If you can't ask permission, repost the information only with a clear credit and a backlink to the original site. And be prepared to take the content down if the original creator requests. Just because you found something on the internet doesn't mean it's available. If you'd like to post high quality articles, blog content, or photos, hire writers and artists and pay them fairly.
4. Don't take risks with privileged information. This means don't maintain databases with customer or employee addresses, phone contacts or credit card numbers unless you have strong security measures in place.

As one who avoids all animal products that are not kosher, I relish having an entire menu to choose from. Yup. It is like a celebration and I get a little giddy when the entire menu is fair game for me. No need to ask tons of prying questions here.
Blossom has morphed slightly as it grows the number of its outposts. The owners, Pamela Blackwell and Ronen Seri , remain razor sharp in their focus on vegan, seasonal, organic preparations. While the concept of eating animal free products never changes, the expansion into various neighborhoods, as cafes, juice bars, fast food joints and dessert spots, changes the vibe a bit.
The original Blossom opened on Ninth Ave. in Chelsea only seven years ago. Set in a bi-level brownstone with a cozy fireplace, the vibe says, "relax and retreat from this highly trafficked neighborhood."
Blossom du Jour is self described as "shrewd fast food". Diners may grab it on the go, but the kitchen is surely working long and hard to prepare choices like "The Little Italy".
I would fight the frigid winds howling across Central Park right now for this vegan take on the meatball hero from the corner market of my childhood. I hanker for steaming, saucy, vegan meatballs smothered in sauteed peppers,onions and vegan cheese, all topped with homemade marinara sauce. YUM.
I checked out my fave Blossom spot, on Columbus Ave. between 82/83, for lunch recently and caught the autumnal menu before the winter menu arrived in mid-December.
The Autumn Sweet Potato Rolls combined raw ingredients like coconut noodles, jicama, carrots, red and yellow peppers, and avocado in a wrap of impossibly thin, shaved sweet potato. The almond/ ginger dipping sauce moistened the compact bite nicely and added creaminess to the raw crunch.
A huge pile of raw kale salad is only for the kale lovers in the crowd. I relished the flavorful and well dressed mound.
The bone chilling rain had us pining for something warm. My dining companion, a friend who is kosher like me, suggested that we try something heartier and hot.
The spaghetti squash and gnocchi entrees were rich with nut butter based sauces and an array of green veggies which brightened the mild and rich creaminess. I loved the abundance of wild mushrooms so generously integrated into the spaghetti squash Alfredo.
We returned last week on a frigid evening and sought refuge as far from the front door as we could.
M. and I both loved the Tofu Chopped Salad, a bountiful mound of iceberg lettuce, spiced tofu, sharp watercress, cashews, pumpkin seeds, two types of sea weed and sunflower sprouts.
There was such great texture that I quickly rebounded from the inclusion of iceberg lettuce, realizing that it lent great crunch. The creamy peanut dressing added kick. Talk about a plate of health!
Of our two entrees, I preferred the Lemon Peppercorn Grilled Seitan with chive mash and sauteed garlic kale. Fresh crushed tomatoes blended with cashew cream to create a lovely, mild sauce. The seitan had an eggplant like texture that was pleasing and substantial.
Desserts without egg or dairy? Blossom has nailed it with a selection of cakes baked in house beginning at 5 AM, daily.
At lunch, E. and I indulged in the chocolate layer cake and agreed that it could compete with any dairy cake we have eaten.
At dinner, M. and I couldn't resist the carrot cake with creamy tofu spiced frosting. Three cashew ice cream flavors were offered. We opted for ginger molasses over chocolate peppermint or coffee. I would have preferred a spicier kick from the ginger rather than a prominence of molasses but the honest to goodness creaminess is a feat not to be taken lightly.
For vegans, vegetarians, those who are kosher and those wanting to cut back on fat and all things artificial, check out any of the Blossom locations. You won't be disappointed.
Note: Blossom is certified vegan and parave by the International Kosher Council. They serve both organic and kosher wines in addition to artisanal beer.

Just saw this timeline from "The Devil in the Dark":
- First draft script: 19 December 1966
- Final draft script: 22 December 1966
- Filmed middle to late January 1967
- Original airdate: 9 March 1967
- Remastered airdate: 23 September 2006
I think it would be great if this were standard in all episode articles, and included release dates for VHS, laserdisc, and DVD formats. -- StAkAr Karnak 01:14, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
- Well, besides the fact that most of that information's not available for most episodes, it would be nice, and I was trying to make the formats of the TOS episodes as similar as possible in that way. And again, not all of the release dates are always available either. Unfortunately. But yah, go right ahead, start doing some work on it. Add them in to episodes missing them. Clean 'em up. Be bold (as they say) :) -- Sulfur 01:22, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Articles by year
There are two different approaches in use for productions by year articles. 1991 productions separates datapoints by productions, merchandise, etc., while 1993 productions combines them. Is there a policy on this? I thought it would be best to combine everything to get a better idea of what happened month by month, but then when I saw this in practice on the 1993 page, it looked a little confusing. Preferences, anyone? -- StAkAr Karnak 01:40, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
- I spent a fair bit of time working through those productions pages, from the pre-1964 stuff, right through to the mid-1980s (or so). I found it best, and easiest to read, with the production stuff in one section (including airdates, scripts, filming, etc), with birth (and death) dates following that. After that, came the "merchandising". I kinda got tired when I got to the mid-80s, because ~30 years of anything can get annoying. :) -- Sulfur 02:29, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Looking at 1964, there's a lot of "x was born, x was born, x was born." This could possibly be consolidated to a Births heading, with just dates and names to cut down on redundancy. A corresponding section for Deaths too. Granted, this is a lot of work. There's also the unfortunate consequence of a lot of scrolling. I like the way Wikipedia has its year articles layed out, but they have a bit of scrolling too. Hrm. -- StAkAr Karnak 03:04, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Hallelujah for Leonard Cohen
When it comes to lyrics, he's second to no one—including Dylan.
Check out our Spotify playlist of the Leonard Cohen songs discussed in this essay.
Leonard Cohen has a new album out: Old Ideas, his 12th, and his first in seven years. He's 77 now, and if you know Cohen you know his age will get its due in the new songs. The title, of course, has a double meaning, the second being that these songs are ideas about getting old. His life is his wellspring, and life has amounted to a long and singularly winding road for this troubadour.
Born in Montreal in 1934 of Polish and Lithuanian Jewish parents, Cohen was first a modestly successful poet. He learned guitar to pick up girls and got into songwriting partly because he was tired of being poor. His first album, Songs of Leonard Cohen, came out in 1967, when he was 32. Probably it got green-lighted in the wake of Bob Dylan's success, when Dylan had demonstrated to record executives that you could make highly personal, elusively poetic, scraggly sounding records that the public would buy. Of course, Dylan was riding a folk wave when he emerged in the early '60s, and Cohen caught that wave too.
I'd like to compare those two, in the process of looking back over Cohen's life and songs. He and Dylan have been working for decades without any visible connection or competition. In practical terms there is no competition, because Dylan has been by far the more visible and influential artist. But if Cohen has always sung in the shadow of Dylan, in the quality of the work I suggest he has been in nobody's shadow.
A long career has done Cohen well by me, and I imagine a lot of listeners. In the '60s and '70s, I liked a few of his songs well enough, though I found the voice and the tunes not as striking as Dylan's brassy honk and his unforgettable melodies in the folk days. "Blowin' in the Wind," "Mister Tambourine Man," any number of Dylan songs seemed timeless, as if they'd evolved through many voices over many years. (Some, including "Blowin' in the Wind," were based on traditional tunes.)
Cohen didn't do that, probably couldn't do that. He was never the tunesmith Dylan was, and in the early years his voice actually made Dylan's sound pretty good. Cohen sang in a tenor you could call "reedy" if you wanted to be nice, "nasal" if you didn't. They're both mediocre guitar players; any number of high-school students could play rings around them. Cohen's melodies tended to start at the bottom of his range, ascend toward the top of his range—which was not very far—then descend and screw around in the lower region for the rest of the verse. His early hit "Suzanne" is a case in point.
The lyrics were a different matter. Few if any Cohen songs would make a dent if not for the words. His first book of poems came out in 1956, when he was still an undergrad at McGill. Since then he has published several books of verse, plus a couple of novels in the '60s. The experience has contributed to who he is: one of the finest, most distinctive, most authentic poets to write popular song in English in the last century or so. For one example of why, recall "Who By Fire?," his meditation on untimely death and the ultimate unanswerable question.
And who by fire, who by water,
who in the sunshine, who in the night time,
who by high ordeal, who by common trial,
who in your merry merry month of May,
who by very slow decay,
and who shall I say is calling?...
And who by brave assent, who by accident,
who in solitude, who in this mirror,
who by his lady's command, who by his own hand,
who in mortal chains, who in power,
and who shall I say is calling?
Who else in our time would or could write a lyric like that?
To put Cohen at the top of his trade is not to forget classic American song lyrics like the wordplay of Ira Gershwin or Cole Porter. But I wonder how often either of those geniuses, for such they were, actually meant what they wrote: "In time the Rockies may crumble,/ Gibraltar may tumble,/ they're only made of clay,/ but our love is here to stay." That's from Ira Gershwin. It is, I submit, exquisite bullshit, music in itself. And I wonder in what respect Dylan means "Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot/ Fighting in the captain's tower/ While calypso singers laugh at them/ And fishermen hold flowers." You wonder sometimes if Dylan is earnest about much of anything other than his scorn.
There's an unmistakable sense that Leonard Cohen means every word he sings, in his irony and his cynicism, in his pain and his exaltation. For me, all that didn't sink in for quite a while. After the mid-'70s I lost track of Cohen. I'm a classical musician, perennially struggling to pursue my craft while somehow paying the rent. For decades, the little time I had to spare for pop music I spent on the Stones, Beatles, Creedence, Joni Mitchell, Dylan, Zappa, et al. Like a lot of people I was too lazy to come to terms with Cohen's lyrics. Then cruising cable one night about 15 years ago, I came upon him standing in his usual suit, at the foot of a staircase somewhere, behind a little keyboard, singing "Democracy." It was a dry and understated but strangely powerful performance, and the song slayed me. At the end he was ushered up the stairs by a couple of babes in tight dresses. It was a memorable turn for an aging bard and self-proclaimed ladies' man.
For the first time I heard Cohen's new voice, the whiskey baritone that I like better than his old voice. His melodies may still be on the plain side, but the voice says so much more than it used to. In that voice there's a lot of years, a lot of cigarettes, stimulants, lust, regret, and hard-won wisdom. When he gets spiritual, the voice questions that wisdom but doesn't destroy it—see "Anthem" and his much-covered "Hallelujah."
The day after catching him on TV, I went out and bought The Best of Leonard Cohen and More Best of and have been listening to them ever since. I've got more songs from various albums in the mix, but mostly it's those collections and a few of Ten New Songs, from 2001. He put together the best-of albums himself, and he chose well.
If Cohen is the finest poet of our songwriters, he's hardly a simple or a predictable one. You can never guess which direction a line is going to come from: cynical, surreal, earnest, bitter, exalted—no way to know. Eventually it adds up to a strange sense. Beside Dylan's flights of fancy and rage, Cohen's sentiments seem more immediate, more real. Or maybe I just have a touch more preference for Cohen's familiar depression tinged with something like religion than for Dylan's wit and wildness and biliousness. A prime example is "Democracy," the song that brought me back to Cohen.
Look at how the trajectory of the lines builds to an unexpected climax.
It's coming through a crack in the wall,
on a visionary flood of alcohol,
from the staggering account
of the Sermon on the Mount,
which I don't pretend to understand at all.
It's coming from the silence
on the dock of the bay,
from the brave, the bold, the battered
heart of Chevrolet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
That's what I mean by never knowing where a line is going to come from. The trajectory of that verse careens among, roughly, 1) surreal/alcoholic, 2) the New Testament, 3) Otis Redding, 4) surreal/economic, before we arrive at the stunning refrain.
None of this is intended to put down Dylan. At his best he's incomparable. Consider the beginning of "Highway 61 Revisited":
Oh God said to Abraham, Kill me a son.
Abe say, Man, you must be puttin' me on.
God say, No.
Abe say, Whut?
God say, You can do what you want, Abe, but, uh,
next time you see me comin', you better run.
Abe say, Where you want this killin' done?
God say: Out on Highway 61.
That's not exact because I'm quoting it from memory. Even at their weirdest, you can often quote Dylan lyrics from memory. This song is sublime in its way, also hysterical. It begins with a succinct send-up of religion before dissolving into surrealism, which is where most of the song dwells.

Where's My Real-Time Cockpit Weather?
What happened to the promise of receiving real-time weather in my cockpit? Last year at AirVenture, I was promised weather in my cockpit! Where is the weather in my cockpit? AVweb Publisher Carl Marbach takes a look at what has happened to the promise of real-time cockpit weather in the year since the FAA awarded contracts to develop the service. The good news is that you can get this information now. The bad news is that you don't have very many choices.
AVweb asked various vendors at AirVenture this year about the status of all the promises we've heard in the last year or so about obtaining real-time weather information in the cockpit. The good news is that you can get weather in the cockpit right now. The bad news is that neither of the providers awarded FAA contracts last year have seemingly come very far in since then.
Echo Flight
Echo Flight of Boulder, Colo., has a satellite-based system that is operational right now. Using a comm-like antenna on the top of your airplane, a small box mounted under your front seat and a proprietary yoke-mounted display, you can get METARS, TAFS and NEXRAD radar images on demand. Using the ORBCOMM low-earth orbit constellation, Echo Flight requests data and receives the data using their own microburst transmission technology that compresses the data giving it the necessary bandwidth to get images and text to the display on your yoke. The display is very bright and readable and can display lots of textual information when not displaying weather.
Garmin has announced that they will be using Echo Flight's software and satellite system to display weather on their GNS 530 and 430 displays. Garmin also says they will adopt other technologies as they become available; including the FAA's own FISDL standard. And, according to Arnav, a forthcoming software upgrade for these boxes will allow them to receive and display the FAA-provided FISDL data.
Echo Flight service costs $9.95 per month for limited service and up to $55 per month for unlimited use. The system also includes email access in flight.
FAA's FISDL
Meanwhile, at least one of the two FAA-selected providers is able to provide a TSO'd receiver and are close to certifying their receivers and will soon start deploying ground stations. Honeywell announced that users will be able to receive weather signals on the Bendix/King KDR 510 receiver and display it on FISDL-compatible versions of the Bendix/King KMD 550 and KMD 850 multi-function displays. Honeywell plans to deploy ground stations on the east and west coasts first, then fill in the high-density traffic areas before finally completing their CONUS coverage with the mountain states. They expect full coverage above 5,000 feet by the end of 2001. By AirVenture 2001, there should be enough coverage to really demonstrate how the system will work.
Arnav, the second provider to be awarded the FAA FISDL contract, will display weather on their MFD 5200, which is also capable of terrain avoidance and navigation displays. The company is offering two receiver modules, one � which received FAA's technical standard order (TSO) approval just last week � is upload-only. Arnav also offers a second, larger "black box" receiver that allows two-way communication, including email, under the FISDL specification. On Sunday at AirVenture, FAA Administrator Jane Garvey cut an "electronic ribbon" to start the first ground station operating and as she did a display screen in the booth flashed the latest NEXRAD radar image. Arnav also expects to complete 5,000-foot coverage in about a year and a half.
Projected monthly costs for both the Honeywell and Arnav systems will be about $30 per month for weather graphics, according to FAA requirements both systems will allow uploading of textual weather like METARS and TAFS without charge.
Is That Your Final Answer?
So the answer to the question of "Where is my cockpit weather?" is: Some service is available today. But there will be more tomorrow. If you can't wait for the "real deal" or don't have the panel space/patience to wait for an installed MFD and associated receiver, you need to talk to Echo Flight.

One of our favorite splurges is to buy a jar of Toby's Feta Dressing & Dip. At almost $4.00, it doesn't happen very often, though. A few months ago, I looked at the ingredients to see if I could replicate it at home and I was surprised to find it was exactly the same as Toby's Ranch flavor – except for the feta.
Hmm, I have a Ranch Dressing & Dip recipe that I love, so I added feta to it- and guess what? It's really good – and tastes a lot like Toby's…for a lot less. You know that's music to my heart!
Of course we love this as a dip with vegetables and chips, but it's also fantastic as a salad dressing – just thin it down with a little milk to make it more pourable. Oh, and drizzled over lettuce and chicken stuffed in a whole wheat pita…whoa – you gotta try that!PRINT
Creamy Feta Dip & Dressing
- 1-1/4 c. sour cream (decrease by 1/4 c. for dressing)
- 1 TB. lemon juice
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 1 TB. dried parsley, or 3 TB. chopped fresh
- 1/2 tsp. onion powder
- 3/4 tsp. sea salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1/8-1/4 tsp. dried dill (to taste) or 1 tsp. fresh
- 1/3-1/2 c. buttermilk (add 1 tsp. vinegar to milk to equal the amount needed if you can't find real [i.e., no fillers] buttermilk)
- 3/4 c. – 1c. crumbled feta cheese (or to taste- I like a lot)
- Combine sour cream, lemon juice and all ingredientsexcept buttermilk and feta in a pint jar or quart mixing bowl and mix well.
- Add the buttermilk slowly, stirring until desired thickness is reached. Fold in the feta. If using a bowl, transfer to a jar with a lid.
- Refrigerate one or more hours before using, and taste to adjust seasonings again.
- Shake well before each use (this tends to get thinner as it sits in the fridge- I just add a bit more sour cream, salt & pepper if I'd like it thicker).
Makes about 1-1/2 cup of dip/dressing.

The Mundane World
Bethesda Fielding is a 7th grader at Mary Todd Middle School. She is living a normal everyday life, but everything is soon going to change. She just doesn't know it.
The Call To Adventure
Her journey starts when her 1st hour humanities teacher announces a special project (as usual the project has nothing to do with what they are learning). For the special project the students have to solve a mystery in their life and write a report about it. Bethesda Fielding chooses to solve the mystery of the choir teacher, Ms. Finkleman.
Crossing the Threshold
Bethesda Fielding tries to find any clues about the very secretive Ms. Finkleman. She asks all the teachers if they know anything about Ms. Finkleman but all she finds out is that Ms. Finkleman has a tattoo. She then finds a code in the bottom of Ms. Finkleman's desk drawer. With the help of her father she finds out that the letters are the titles of songs by Little Miss Mystery and the Red Herrings. She then writes her report and finds a picture of Little Miss Mystery. Little Miss Mystery looks exactly like Ms. Finkleman.
The Path of Trials
Bethesda then goes to school and gets a great score on her special project. Ms. Finkleman soon finds out that everyone now knows who she really is. The principal then asks Ms. Finkleman to put on a rock concert for the Choral Corral. Ms. Finkleman strikes a deal with Bethesda Fielding and Tenny Boyer who really likes rock music. Tenny will plan the show and tell Ms. Finkleman what to tell the students in secret. In return, Bethesda (who started this all) would try to help the hopeless Tenny Boyer pass the floating mid-term.
The floating mid-term comes, and the rock show is going to be great, but Tenny Boyer is as hopeless as ever. Bethesda decides to try and help Tenny cheat through the mid-term by coughing to give Tenny the answers. Everything is going well until the teacher finds out and takes them both for a little chat with the principal who agrees to ban them from participating in the Choral Corral. With minutes to spare they try to go back to what they were going to do but finally the principal allows them to participate and the show goes on. In the end they realize that Little Miss Mystery was really Ms. Finklemans twin sister, and that Ms. Finkleman was thrown out of the band, The Red Herrings.
The Master of Two Worlds
In the end, Bethesda Fielding asks Ms. Finkleman where she got her tattoo from and finds out it was after she was thrown out of the band. Not only Bethesda did solve the mystery, she also became a hero and helped Ms. Finkleman and her sister (Little Miss Mystery-her twin) get back in touch with each other. Now Bethesda is back to her boring old normal everyday life.

Happy 4th of July!
and they take a little too long to bring out my breakfast :)
My chilaquiles verdes were perfect though, so it was well worth the wait.
Oh my goodness! If I was a server in that diner, adn saw this, I'd HAVE to have it! haha Do you leave the placemats of art there, or take them with you??! ♥
My husband took it with him ;)
It's beautiful, as is all of your work!
Si algún día venís a mi pizzería creo que me demoraría en llevarte la pizza ... y te tendría preparada una hermosa caja de lapices de colores !
que dibujo tan hermoso !
Too cool, hope you're having a great holiday weekend.
I love your creative art spirit Geninne, so inspirational. If I take you to breakfast will you make me a drawing while we wait?
you're either a very quick drawer or service was quite slow, but the food did sound worth the wait!
Haha. This is what we artists do right? The ability to entertain ourselves with a pen and paper. ;)

Toks...definitivamente no es mi favorito!!! :)
Me encanta. Eres genial, en todo momento maravillosa, hasta almorzando. Un saludo muy grande.
Wouldn't it be awesome if the restaurant/coffee shop kept all the placemats that have something written or sketched on them and then display them? I'd pay to see that :)
Love this! Now I'm hungry for chilaquiles verdes, tho...
We just got back from the lake here in NE Oklahoma. I picked up rocks with you in mind, Geninne. Want to try some acrylic ink designs on them.
Thanks for the 4th of July wishes.....
Your knotless netting is lovely. I have seen it before done with flexible wire covered in different colors - look in your electrical supply store.
Happy creating.

Children's Hospital Colorado
Heart Institute
You can't change the past or the present, but you can change the future.
Parents Magazine ranks Children's Hospital Colorado #6 in the nation for heart care. U.S. News & World Report ranks Children's Colorado among the best in the nation for heart care and heart surgery.
Parents Magazine ranks Children's Hospital Colorado #6 in the nation for heart care.
"Heart transplant survival" is the length of time a patient is alive after receiving a new heart or it may also be referred to as patient survival.
At the Heart Institute at Children's Hospital Colorado, we measure heart transplant survival in order to compare our program to others around the country. It helps us to identify any potential areas for improvement. We also use the survival information to compare how we perform over time.
Our outcomes are better than the national average when we compare rates at both one and three years after transplant. While short-term survival is an important measurement of our success, we focus equally on long term survival and overall quality of life.
We have improved our results primarily through the approach that "less is more." For example, we focus on non-invasive strategies for monitoring how the transplanted heart is working. As a result, this has led to a reduced number of heart catheterization procedures. In addition, we've achieved excellent long-term results with limited use of immunosuppressive and steroid medications.
Learn more about the Heart Transplant Program at Children's Colorado.
The heart transplant team at Children's Colorado maintains an internal database and compares our data to data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR). This data is publicly available at www.srtr.org.
Yes, the national benchmarks are based on data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients. As a heart transplant center, we regularly submit data and compare our patient outcomes to several national societies, including the United Network for Organ Sharing, the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients and the Pediatric Heart Transplant Study.
Our internal database is updated on an ongoing basis. Results of all transplant programs' survival rates will be made available to the public as SRTR data is released in January and July of every year.

The Kids Are Not Really Alright
It's worse to be raised by a single mother, even if you're not poor.
At first glance, I might qualify as the poster boy for Katie Roiphe's recent Slate article defending single mothers and their children. Raised by a strong and resourceful single mother, I turned out OK. Sure, I had some unusually angry outbursts as a child (like the time I threw my lunchbox across the dining hall at camp for no good reason) and had to endure my share of therapy for that anger. But I have managed to steer clear of prison, earn a Ph.D., hold down a decent job, and marry up. My life is proof positive, as Roiphe argues, that married-parent families "do not have a monopoly on joy or healthy environments or thriving children."
But, as a social scientist, I can also say that the academic research paints a much more complicated picture of the impact of family structure on children than does my life story or Roiphe's experience. It is true, as Roiphe believes, that most children from single-parent homes turn out fine. In her book, For Better or For Worse, psychologist E. Mavis Hetherington estimated that about 75 percent of children of divorce suffered from no major pathologies. In other words, most children of divorce do not end up depressed, drugged out, or delinquent.
But Hetherington, who like Roiphe embraces changing family structures, also was honest enough to admit that divorce tends to double a child's risk of a serious negative outcome. Specifically, she found that "twenty-five percent of youths from divorced families in comparison to 10 percent from non-divorced families did have serious social, emotional, or psychological problems." Other research suggests that the children of never-married single parents tend to do somewhat worse than children of divorced single parents.
Take two contemporary social problems: teenage pregnancy and the incarceration of young males. Research by Sara McLanahan at Princeton University suggests that boys are significantly more likely to end up in jail or prison by the time they turn 30 if they are raised by a single mother. Specifically, McLanahan and a colleague found that boys raised in a single-parent household were more than twice as likely to be incarcerated, compared with boys raised in an intact, married home, even after controlling for differences in parental income, education, race, and ethnicity. Research on young men suggests they are less likely to engage in delinquent or illegal behavior when they have the affection, attention, and monitoring of their own mother and father.
But daughters depend on dads as well. One study by Bruce Ellis of the University of Arizona found that about one-third of girls whose fathers left the home before they turned 6 ended up pregnant as teenagers, compared with just 5 percent of girls whose fathers were there throughout their childhood. This dramatic divide was narrowed a bit when Ellis controlled for parents' socioeconomic background—but only by a few percentage points. The research on this topic suggests that girls raised by single mothers are less likely to be supervised, more likely to engage in early sex, and to end up pregnant compared with girls raised by their own married parents.
It's true that poorer families are more likely to be headed by single mothers. But even factoring out class shows a clear difference. Research by the Economic Mobility Project at Pew suggests that children from intact families are also more likely to rise up the income ladder if they were raised in a low-income family, and less likely to fall into poverty if they were raised in a wealthy family. For instance, according to Pew's analysis, 54 percent of today's young adults who grew up in an intact two-parent home in the top-third of household income have remained in the top-third as adults, compared with just 37 percent of today's young adults who grew up in a wealthy (top-third) but divorced family.

Here's What We Learned About Datone Jones From the Packers
Why, he's the greatest defensive lineman ever, of course! No, seriously, we'd tried to pull out the insightful portions from the Green Bay Packers brass' pressers on first-round pick Datone Jones.
As usual, insight was minimal, but here's what we got.
The Packers are trying to get faster on defense.
"Obviously, you'd like to have as much speed as you can. I think the way the offenses are heading – we work against our offense every day on the practice field and you're going to be spread out. It's become more of a space game. Any time you're spread out and you've got to cover space, the quicker and faster you are, the better you're going to be probably," defensive coordinator Dom Capers said.
"Adding this guy, again, our veterans will determine the fate of our team, but adding another good athlete, got a little bit more speed. Trying to add a little more speed to the defense we think is a good idea," general manager Ted Thompson said.
They were surprised Jones was still available.
"There were several conversations earlier in the day and through the first part of the draft (about a trade), but when it got to be our pick, we were pretty committed. We were a little surprised that the opportunity was still there to take him," Thompson said.
But maybe not that surprised, because they told Jones they were going to draft him.
"I felt like before I didn't think they were (interested), but then this last stretch, this last week I started getting more calls and heard they're really interested, so be ready to become a Packer. I thought I was going to fall to the Colts, which I was kind of sad having to go there," Jones said.
Jones will primarily play defensive end, but will line up inside as well.
"I think in our base package he probably wouldn't (line up inside), but in the sub packages, you watch him play in college, and I Know college is different than the pros, but he lines up all over," Thompson said.
Monty McMahon is one of the founders of Total Packers. He is probably the most famous graduate of UW-Oshkosh next to Jim Gantner.
By clowns, do you mean great coaches and front office personnel who led a team to a 47-17 record over the last 4 years along with a Super Bowl win? If only Buffalo, Miami, Dallas and the NY Jets had a few more clowns on the payroll.
Well, if your measure of success is being better than the Bills, Dolphins, Jets, and Cowboys – job done. One playoff win since the superbowl and that was against Joe Webb. Just saying, live in the now..
Who said anything about a goal of out performing the cellar dwellers? I am simply giving you an example of four teams that would kill for the leadership enjoyed by this organization. Live in the now? I am content with living in reality, it's not so bad.
I'm just saying that it is fair to not just accept every move that TT and MM make as gospel. You can argue that the Pack has 2 decent picks over the past 2 years in Cobb and Hayward and that is it. Now, that's reality…how is life back in 2010? I bet you can't listen to your Carlie Rae Jepsen yet..I'm sorry for that.
Not sure who runs this site but your negative attitude is becoming annoying… U don't know it all. In fact I doubt u know shit, Datone was a fantastic selection. This draft class was quite weak and at the end of the day this kid will make a difference for our defense.
Frank Caliendo's take on Mel Kiper
" Cold coffee flying under the radar " Great stuff
He must have known something because when you seen him on the webcam he didn't just have one packer hat he had a selection

is this how it works..ammonia to nitrite(fishless)
my nitrite was at 0ppm and my ammonia was 0ppm..then i redosed it back to 2.0ppm last nite..i checked them both again this morning ammonia was at 1.0ppm and the nitrite was back up to between 0.25-0.50ppm..i read that when ammonia is added,the nitrite will appear is this correct..then both will go back to 0ppm in 24hr or less
Twinkey, I'd put a ton of live plants in the tank, especially floating plants, and forgo the hassle. Add fish gradually and do your tests. The difference is waiting a month or starting the tank almost immediately. I truly do not understand why people put themselves through this cycling hell.

Hi all,
Quick intro: I'm 50 years old, 6'1", 280 lbs (down from 313 a couple months ago - Unindicted Co-conspirator and I joined Weight Watchers together). I am not now nor have I ever been athletic. About 18 years ago, weighing about 300, I bought a Biachi Boardwalk and began commuting. Between the riding and a rather unsound diet, I lost a bunch of weight and a gall bladder. Did this a couple more times over the years (healthier diet and a local gym let me keep my remaining organs). Sadly, my capacity for rationalization and indolence is exceeded only by my appetite. Sloth and gluttony are my favorite deadly sins.
Local gym is no more, I'm not yet ready to face hardbodied twenty-somethings at bigger gyms, and the feets are getting sore from two-hour walks. Then I remembered the Bianchi gathering rust and cobwebs in the basement. I dragged it down to my Local Bike Shop last Friday and started reading this forum. The bike should be back in working order by this Friday. I no longer live in a place where I can commute, but I've got plenty of paved roads and nearby trails to ride evenings and weekends. Cardiologist gave me a thumbs up, and I'm really looking forward to getting back on the bike again.
One thing that impresses me in this Forum is that you folks have forgotten more about cycling than I ever knew (and you havn't forgotten much!). Any words of wisdom for a prodigal?

This review is from: SONY Laptop VAIO S Series SVS13A25PXB Intel Core i7 3520M (2.90 GHz) 12 GB Memory 256 GB SSD NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M LE 13.3" Windows 8 Professional 64-bit
Pros: This laptop is light, exactly what i was looking for in something to bring back and fourth from campus. not only is it small, light, and pretty powerful for its class size, but you cannot even hear the fan's idling. the vaio software it comes with is surprisingly not too bad and sort of helpful. i hear the rumors of the sony bomb so if this holds up for 3 years i'll be really happy. and a plus that is with this buy is it comes with a screen cloth to save you a couple dollars
Cons: i feel the biggest weak point in this right now could be the screen. not the best viewing angle and its really flimsy. it can bend really easily and depresses slightly if you pick it up while holding down on the top. i suppose it bending means it wont break but there is a mini heart attack everytime i see it bend to such an extent. the speakers are not the best and give a bit of the static sound when turned up high so it probably can get blown out
Other Thoughts: either this laptop is really new or not often supported. its pretty difficult to find protective cases or skins for it so you have to go with a sleeve or something. it keeps a consistent low profile of the .9in throughout the body.

FG, after my time I think. I was more into Bill & Ben. Remember Roadrunner, the one with tweetypie and the cat (?) and Scoobydoo but that was Grandson's time.
No, definitely not seen it.
I feel old and this has nothing to do with how we got into gardening.
He's just passed his test, FG, so is very accomodating and I'm very brave. Got to have confidence in him though. He's already managed to scratch driver's door and wallop his wing mirror off!! Misjudged a pillar in a carpark. Told him never to park by a pillar. At least 3 car spaces are required.
Can't use my birdbath as the cat jumps up for them, even when it's in the middle of a flower bed. How long do cats live?
Whose Foghorn Leghorn when he's out? No, he's being Fred, the butcher, from Corrie, I say he's being Fred, the butcher from Corrie.
I'll get Verdun's coat.
Verdun, you're nuts, but I like you. You can stay.
It was a shame the weather was poor because it's such a pretty garden and very secluded. Just a lovely place to sit on a sunny day. She seems to pick up such unusual things on her travels that I never see. Perhaps next time.
Glad that you had a good day FG. Can you see light at the end of the tunnel? I'd come and help if you weren't so far away. Are you mixing cement or using the stuff you pour into the hole and then add water? Next door used that. Hope you get lots of horrid, sharp, prickly plants for the border that will hurt those horrid kids. (I'm not nice).
Don't usually see many birds here, probably because of the b... cat, but have noticed a couple of blackbirds. Aren't they friendly. Was standing right next one yesterday and it just hopped alone without a care in the world. Oh, yes, found the cat's loo yesterday. Well one of them. Cleared and teabags soaked in Jeyes Fluid applied.
Bev, was son supposed to help? I must have missed it. If so, I know exactly how you feel. Have given up on my daughter, will do the same for son if he doesn't get his act together at the end of the week and as for the other son, he lives on another planet. I blame it on all the tattoos.
Now my lovely grandson, when I suggested he took me to B&Q today to change the trellis, 'not a problem Grandma. Will be round when car fixed'. Forgot I was going out so texted and said I would go another day. 'Anytime Grandma'. Brought a tear to my eye.
Sure we've had this thread before, if my memory serves me well but I don't remind repeating myself. Verdun will understand.
Didn't do any gardening until I had a house of my own, athough when my Dad had a stroke and was unable to care for his lovely 'show' chrysanths, I took on the job of potting on and nipping out the side shoots to create the huge blooms. Hated the smell of them, still do. He also developed a fixation for lilies, which turned up on a regular basis and which also had to be potted up. However, very theraputic sitting in greenhouse, daydreaming!
Moved into my house in November 47 years ago where the 90ft garden was two-thirds rose beds and one third waist high weeds! The following summer I took on the challenge of clearing the weeds, which took me 2 weeks. Had a lovely tan though. Since then it has changed so many times, rose beds became grass for the kids to play and, once they were able to play in local park (can you see that happening today) I set about making it how I wanted, or so I thought. Every Winter, I stand at my French windows deciding what I would like to move, change, grow, etc. It's an ongoing wonderful 'hobby'. I love my time spent out there where all my worries and concerns disappear. Am a fair weather gardener so get very agitated when the sun don't shine.
I am pleased to say that my elder son has the 'bug' but, unfortunately, not much time. I just wish he would dig a pond so I could pass the koi over.
Evening. I'm stalking you Gilly.
Had a really pleasant day with my friend but no sitting in the garden as it was wet, cold and windy. Still very windy and I have put the heating on. I just can't be cold and can't type with gloves on. According to my weather forecast at the top of the page, it's going to be colder and wet tomorrow.
I think I'll stay in bed.
FG, next door but one has chickens, bloody noisy chickens. I spend my time when I'm in the garden shouting at the top of my voice for either the dogs or the chicks to 'shut the .... up'. Naughty swearing. Not very ladylike.
Have reached the conclusion that gardeners have a very dry wit. Right load of comedians on here. Love it.
Right, breakfast and friends. Tata.
Morning all. Bev, what's your excuse for being so early today. I'm off to spend the day with a lovely friend. Such a shame that the weather is so poor, cold and wet, as I was looking forward to sitting in her pretty little garden, with all its fairies, toadstools and butterflies dotted about. Never mind, I'm sure the weather won't stop the jaws wagging.
Pottie Pam. What have you been doing with yourself? Was only thinking when I looked at the 'map' a couple of days back and your name popped up, as it always does that I haven't seen you around. Hope all has been well.
Andy, you're like a whirlwind. Do you ever just do nothing?
Shame my joke fell on deaf ears Verdun. One of the characters always used to say everything twice. No painting today. I think more swearing goes on than singing, usually at the numorous dogs and the clucking chickens. My garden is no longer a peaceful haven.
Hope the weather improves for the wedding WW. Should be able to count on good weather in June! I have just out my heating on.
Have a good day all.
