Duke's Stories
Real life stories from Duke's loyal customers. Enjoy what others have sent to us, or share your own Duke's story with us.
I wish I had known there was a family ties contest! Before I found out that I had family ties to the Dukes, I fell in love with the flavor of Dukes. My Great-Grandmother lived across the street in Greenville from Ms. Duke. My Great Uncle Harry, when he was very young, would go across the street to retrieve the egg whites that Ms. Duke did not use to make her mayonnaise. Ms. Duke made her own mayo to put on the sandwiches she would make to feed the workers for lunch. My Great-Grandmother would take the egg whites and make meringue for her pies. They worked together during the depression to feed the workers. I heard this story at a family reunion in 2001 from my Uncle Harry. What pride I felt when he told this story! Knowing that Duke's was my favorite mayo and now I have ties to my favorite mayo! Who could ask for more!! I can! I have perfected my recipe for potato salad, with Duke's of course, and might I say, it is the BEST potato salad I have ever tasted!!! And I have eaten Tim's famous potato salad at his Rib Joint in Dacula, Ga. ( Tim, your ribs are the best I have ever had!! Bar None! BUT, my tater salad is SMOKIN!!) Thanks for keeping this GREAT RECIPE going!! I have been all over this country and there is none better!!

Tell us what you think about Duke's and we might just post it here for the rest of the world to see.
My family moved from New Jersey to Atlanta in 1962 when I was 7. I soon met Herbie, whose mom made the best sandwiches, and would always trade with Herbie at school because they were soooo good. Alas, Herbie's family moved and so did that great 'taste'. Years later and on my own, I thought back to those sandwiches and went on a quest to find that 'taste' which I figured had to be the mayonnaise. I grew up in a Hellmann's house and that wasn't the taste, neither was any other brand I tried. 10 years ago I married a great southern lady. She made me a sandwich and after taking a bite, I yelled out, "That's the taste!" Of course it was Duke's, now the only mayo allowed in the house. It only took 40 years to find that taste. Thank you Duke's!
— Robert Collins
Thank you so much for continuing to bottle your mayonnaise in 32 ounce jars. I have always used Hellmann's or Kraft mayonnaise, but not anymore. They lowered their ounces to 30 and upped their prices. Now I use Duke's all of the time and I like it a lot better. I like its creaminess and taste. I can't believe I wasn't using it all along. Thank you again.
— Nancy Moon
I wanted to say that I WAS a Miracle Whip user FOREVER. However, 3 years ago I moved to Georgia and discovered DUKE'S and never looked back. I swear this is the BEST mayo I have ever tasted HANDS DOWN. I had family members recently who swore by Hellmann's and when they tasted my potato salad with Duke's they couldn't believe it. They don't get Duke's up North apparently. I just wanted to say they emptied my pantry, but I thought you should know that I so appreciate the quality of this product.
— Melissa Yvonne Berger
Growing up in rural North Carolina, no other mayonnaise was allowed in the kitchens of either of my great grandmothers, grandmothers, or my moms. I had the luxury of growing up with those women and their food, and on every single recipe card it says "Duke's Mayonnaise". To me, it doesn't just taste great, it tastes like home.
— Nicholas Byrd, Mebane, NC
I just wanted to let you know that your commercial works. I had never heard of Duke's Mayo until recently when I started seeing your commercials on TV. They were so inviting and interesting that I decided to try the mayo. I have NEVER done this before -- that is, try a new product because of something I have seen on TV. I don't even watch that much TV. But your commercials made me want to try your mayo. I was born and raised in Texas, and the homey feel of your commercial struck a chord with me. Well, I did give it a try, and I just LOVE this mayo. I have been a lifetime fan of Hellmann's and never would have thought of using any other mayo. However, I am now a Duke's convert. I don't know what it is, but this mayo is better. Much better. I am enjoying a sandwich right now, slathered with Duke's, which is why I got inspired to write this. I also have shared my experience with many of my friends and relatives, and they are now Duke's converts as well. Interestingly, whenever, I have started telling them my Duke's story and the attraction to the commercial, every single one of them has said something like "oh yeah, I've seen those commercials. I have thought about trying that mayo as well because of them." I have urged them to follow up on that though, and every single one of them has agreed that Duke's is the best and have made the change. So, mostly, I just wanted to let you know that your commercial is great and doing exactly what you are paying it to do -- getting some Duke's converts!! Thanks for the great commercial; but more importantly, thanks for the great product!
— Gail Clifton, Myakka City, FL
I take great pride in my southern heritage, but I have never really liked mayo -- I preferred Miracle Whip. Your commercial inspired me to try Duke's, and now I'm sold. It makes everything better, and as odd as it may sound, the great quality and value just helps to build my southern pride.
— Alan Camp, Villa Rica, GA
I feel that I owe Duke's a great debt of gratitude and I am writing to express my sincerest thanks.
— Rick D., Saint Leonard, MD
I live in Universal City, TX, 11 miles northeast of San Antonio. I saw your commercial on TV the other night, and due to my disgust with both Miracle Whip and Hellmann's mayo, I looked for your product when I went to the grocery store (HEB). I was delighted to find it and even more with the way my egg salad tasted when I made it with Duke's. Needless to say, I am now a convert and a happy and true believer. Long live Duke's!!
— Sherry Revill, Universal City, TX
THANK YOU for not only making a great mayo, but for still offering it in 32 oz. jars. I'm so tired of other companies that cut the size AND raise the price. The response I received was reducing the size is better than raising the price. Consumers are NOT that stupid.
— Leigh Edinger
Dear Duke's,
— Cliff Potter
For 29 of my 30 years on planet Earth, I eschewed mayonnaise at all turns. If it came slathered on a burger, I scraped it off. If someone brought cole slaw to a cookout, I took off in a hard run. Just last year, however, I was unknowingly served a sandwich with Duke's mayonnaise. Since this time, my mayonnaise paradigm has been turned on its ear. Without overstating things, Duke's mayonnaise is the best condiment I have ever tasted. I have not seen any Duke's mayonnaise advertising in my area. However, never fear. I have taken it upon myself to become a personal ambassador for your mayonnaise. I first converted my wife (a former Miracle Whip fan) and then baptized a number of friends and co-workers in the silky ribbons of mayonnaisy goodness.
— Colin McCaffrey, Hermitage, TN
This is the best stuff ever! I live in Southern California, and our big mayo is Best Foods -- Hellmann's on the east coast. Well, Duke's is the best. I got turned on to it from a dear friend of mine from Atlanta. She brought me back this huge container. At first I thought it was a joke. But, she knows how I love to cook, and told me I would never be without this after I try it. Well, I thought "How different can mayo be?" Well, let me tell you, nothing else will get past my front door other than Duke's. I have now ordered your sandwich spread and tartar sauce -- both winners. Thank God for the Internet and UPS, because I will be keeping a well stocked pantry of Duke's products. Thank you!
— Jack, West Hollywood, CA
I would like to thank you that Duke's mayo is still a full quart. For years I have paid exorbitant prices for Hellmann's mayo exclusively. That was until I realized I was being cheated. Hellmann's and Kraft mayo jars do not contain 32 ounces. What's worse, the consumer was never let in on the fact they were not getting a full quart, but were paying a higher price for LESS product. THANK YOU! I will always purchase Duke's mayo now and in the future. By the way, I use light mayo and I've found that Duke's light tastes better than Hellmann's or Kraft.
— Cathy Barr, Jacksonville, FL
Wow, for me and many in my family, being devout Hellmann's fans and enjoying bringing out the best for most of my 50 years, this is quite a story to share with you. In early July I challenged Duke's to send a jar of mayonnaise to me and let my family taste it. We had been watching the commercials for a few months but I couldn't find it. Not only did Duke's accept my challenge and send a jar but they also located a local grocery store in my community that does carry Duke's. We decided to have a taste test during our next family barbeque. On Saturday I made two bowls of potato salad, one with Hellmann's and one with Duke's. Labeled "Mayo A" and "Mayo B" I was the only one who knew which was which and I wrote it down as well as used two different bowls to be sure I didn't flub the test, HA! The same ingredients as well as the same amount of ingredients were used in each one, only the mayonnaise was different. I was as precise as possible and pretty tickled with myself for being so. I tasted each one several times before letting them chill for the next day's taste test. Right away I knew this was going to be a close. 13 people turned out for the barbeque and potato salad taste test. I thought to myself later, we had a "Baker's Dozen" and that just added to the uniqueness of our challenge, Duke's vs. Hellmann's. I had marked the plates to be sure nobody confused the potato salad they were eating and the votes would be as accurate as possible. We took it very seriously but had an absolute ball enjoying the potato salads and deciding which one we were going to choose. We even filmed the event because based on the outcome I felt this could make a great commercial that could go either way, LoL! Getting a Hellmann's fan to switch is no easy task, not in Missouri. At the end of meal the voting began. Inside I am excited and laughing but I can't react to some of the statements made when people were voting. One person said they felt like a traitor, ha!, while others were sure which one was Hellman's and certain of their vote. I knew they were choosing Duke's. By the time all the votes were cast I was quite impressed with the time and effort each voter put into their final decision. Well, here we go. drum roll please, HA! When I announced the winner was "Duke's" by a vote of 12 to 1 the looks on their faces said so much. Many of them were 100 percent certain that they were casting their vote for Hellman's, stating that Duke's was good and it was really close but they were sticking with "Mayo B." From this point on it became hysterical. After a very in depth discussion, some of them actually cleaned their palette, tasted each one again, and still voted for Duke's, having to admit Duke's was in fact better than Hellmann's and that was after they now knew which was which. Even the "1" person that voted for Hellman's had to admit they would use Duke's in the future. I know you are very confident that Duke's is the best but having convinced a group of seriously, "die-hard" Hellmann's Fans, in our world, it's nothing short of "monumental!" We applaud you, we truly do! Never, and I mean NEVER, did I ever think ANYTHING out there could exceed the quality of Hellman's. How terribly disappointing it was for Hellmann's that day. I sincerely thank Duke's for accepting my challenge and sending not only the jar of mayonnaise but also coupons and the store information for my next purchase. The challenge was, to say the least, very invigorating, Ha! Though taken seriously we had a lot of fun doing it. Having made believers out of us, going forward there will always be Duke's mayonnaise in the fridge and one waiting in the cupboard. I shared this with many people I work with and now they are doing the same thing with their families. I expect to hear some results from their challenges very soon. Additionally, my sister, who always made her much loved potato salad with "Miracle Whip," has not only decided to start using mayonnaise but using Duke's. That's a huge win for Duke's in and of itself. Later in the week, after our barbeque, we tried Duke's on many other things, from sandwiches to dipping French fries (Belgian style) and it was delicious!!! Duke's is EVERYTHING you say it is. The smooth creamy texture is a prelude to the amazing flavor. I truly commend you on your big win with my family! I can tell you that I look forward to years of cooking with and enjoying Duke's mayonnaise and I won't hesitate to try some of your other products. I could not be more sincere. Thank you so much again and CONGRATULATIONS DUKE'S !!!
— Elizabeth Syberg-Schmitt
You guys ROCK!! Your mayo is absolutely both hands down the best I have ever tasted! This is not a young palate talking to you either. My only regret is that I didn't discover this product years ago. Please...don't change a thing!! No new & improved etc. leave it alone. Thank you & best to you.
— Larry Gould
I've grown up eating Duke's Mayonnaise. In fact, Duke's was the only mayonnaise allowed in our house. I've tried every kind over the years and nothing compares or even comes close to Duke's. I don't know of anyone who uses as much Duke's as my family. I buy 4 gallons at a time because we eat a lot of slaw, potato salad, and casseroles. Try it one time and you'll be convinced too.
— Stan Souther
Well, here's another convert for you! Growing up in the Midwest, we always used Miracle Whip. In fact, I couldn't stand mayo! I refused to use it in anything! However, here in the south, all I heard about is Duke's, Duke's, Duke's! So I decided to give it a try. I can't believe there's such a difference. I just assumed that all mayos were created equal. Not so! Now my family is so hooked, that since your amazing mayo isn't available in Kansas City, Missouri markets -- I've become the Duke's Connection. Mailing giant jars to my family! We are a mayo family now!! Duke's Mayo, that is!
— Dana DeWeese, Myrtle Beach, SC
Honestly, I can't remember Duke's not being a part of my life. If one wants to create a REAL potato salad or tomato sandwich (or both!), the key ingredient MUST be Duke's. Seriously, there can be no substitute! Thank you for an awesome product.
— Di McK
I recently moved back to my hometown of Greenville, SC from about 5 years in a small town in Nebraska. Yes, Nebraska! I remarried 7 years ago to a man from Nebraska that was living in SC and he asked that we relocate so he could retire in his hometown. I agreed, with the understanding that I could return to SC periodically to visit my grown children, grandchild and friends and to purchase DUKE'S mayonnaise. You see, you can't get it out there and I WILL NOT use any other mayo in my chicken salad and other salads and sandwiches. So, every time I visited SC, I took back at least 10 jars of DUKE's mayo. I even ordered the individual packets so I always had it when we ate out. The people out there like that sweet salad dressing on their sandwiches. Yuck!!!! Well we've moved back to SC and I have an unlimited supply of DUKE'S and nothing pleases me more!!! Thank you for making me so happy with the best mayo around!!!
— Donna Chandler
I live in SC and have been a "dyed-in-the-wool" Duke's Mayo user for over 70 years. From 1986-1992 my husband and I lived in Lafayette, LA. Duke's was not available there (tried to get Winn-Dixie to order it for us). Every time we came home to Greenville, SC, we would buy a case to take back to LA - also took some for a church member there who was from Whiteville, NC. Duke's is the BEST!!
— Yvonne Carter
My first recollection of Duke's mayonnaise was as a small child and my mother would fix turkey, lettuce and tomato on white bread... with mayo, of course . I hated lettuce. I hated tomatoes.... and I didn't think much of dry, thin sliced turkey either. What I did like (loved) was the bread and Duke's mayonnaise so I would pull the turkey, the tomato and the lettuce out of the sandwich, ball it up in my napkin and throw it under the table where I figured either nobody would ever find it or the dog would eat it! (Hey!... I was a little kid as I said!) I would then eat the mayonnaise sandwich and ask for seconds. That technique (which also worked with asparagus, broccoli and Brussell sprouts) was soon discovered although I totally lied and denied I had anything to do with it. As a result I would make my own "Duke's and bread" sandwiches as I hid in the basement which was soon discovered as well. I loved Duke's then and I love it still. Nothing else comes close. I have recognized the label since that tender age and have even introduced AND converted some of my Yankee friends to the world's best mayonnaise! Keep up the great work!!
— Whit Wall
Almost a century after Eugenia Duke created her unique mayonnaise recipe, Dukes is still made in Greenville, South Carolina. Mrs. Dukes kitchen has been replaced by a modern production facility that turns out 240 jars of mayonnaise a minute, but the recipe for Dukes Mayonnaise has remained the same. Weve never changed the formula, explains Mark Sauer, vice president of sales for C. F. Sauer and great-grandson of Conrad Sauer, Sr., not since Dukes time. Dukes, he says, is a uniquely Southern product. It was developed at a time when the South was still a distinctive place with a distinctive taste. And that hasnt changed. The formula for Dukes includes more egg yolks than other brands of mayonnaise, he points out. It also has no added sugar. (Its the only major brand of mayonnaise that can make that claim.) That combination gives the mayonnaise a tanginess Dukes fans have come to love.

I'm part of the London Pinhole Festival at Doomed Gallery Dalston 25-27TH April2 5
I am really happy to say that I have work in the London Pinhole Festival which will be shown at the Doomed Gallery Dalston in collaboration with The London Alternative Photography Collective.
It's all been completely manic and a bit of a fast turn around but I shall be exhibiting "Sharing the Moment" as an example of Pinhole. I am amongst some amazing photographers including Becky Ramotowski who is ultimately responsible for my knowing about the festival at all, so here's a shout out for her and to Melanie King the organiser.

The Health Secretary today condemned as "unacceptable" a report that one hospital in five is failing the elderly so badly that it breaks the law.
Andrew Lansley said that the Care Quality Commission's finding that some NHS nurses routinely ignore the basic dignity of older patients, failing to feed them, keep them clean or respond to their cries for help, showed a damning failure of nurse leadership. He promised that the Government was taking steps to put things right.
"I think it is unacceptable for basic standards of human dignity and food and drink not to be met," he

Defensive end Trent Cole was back on the practice field Wednesday and said he was eager to get a shot at the Cowboys after missing the last two games with a calf strain.
"I'm looking forward to coming and making an impact," Cole said. "We don't like Dallas. It's going to be a good game Sunday, and we're going to go out there, and we're going to give it hell."
Cole has three sacks on the year, but his impact is also measured by the attention he draws. In four games with Cole, the Eagles had 15 sacks. In two without him, they had three.

The two exceptions are "The Pilot" (which, even then, has been {{RetCon}}ned with the name "The One Where Monica Gets A Roommate") and "[[GrandFinale The Last One]]" [[note]]To be fair, this is probably how casual fans would have referred to it anyway.[[/note]]Over its 10-year run, the show featured literally ''dozens'' of big-name guest stars who just happened to walk into that little cafe, or turn up to say hello to an old friend - Creator/SeanPenn, Creator/BradPitt, Creator/JuliaRoberts, Creator/JeanClaudeVanDamme, Creator/GeorgeClooney, Creator/AlecBaldwin, Creator/BillyCrystal, Creator/RobinWilliams, Creator/HughLaurie, Creator/ReeseWitherspoon, Creator/JeffGoldblum, Creator/CharlieSheen, Creator/BruceWillis, [[Series/AbsolutelyFabulous Jennifer]] [[Series/FrenchAndSaunders Saunders]], Creator/BenStiller, Creator/GaryOldman, Creator/KathleenTurner, Creator/JonFavreau and Creator/JonLovitz to name just a few. They even got ''Creator/CharltonHeston'', ''Richard Branson'' and ''[[UsefulNotes/TheBritishRoyalFamily Fergie]]''!The main cast of ''Friends'' grew to be real-life TrueCompanions; TomSelleck commented in an interview that he often felt 'left out' during the filming of his appearance (A not-uncommon sentiment among guests on a hit series, but nonetheless). The cast as a whole demanded equal salaries, leading to the show holding the world record for "best-paid women actors in a TV show" for many years. And they insisted that, should they be nominated for awards (which they were), they all be in the same category: you couldn't nominate Matt Le Blanc (Joey) as "Supporting Actor" and David Schwimmer (Ross) as "Lead Actor"; ''both'' of them had to be Lead or Supporting.To this day, ''Friends'' is still ranked with ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' as perhaps the most defining TV shows of TheNineties. It also spawned a (short lived) spinoff series, ''Series/{{Joey}}''.----!!Tropes:[[index]]* Friends/TropesAToE* Friends/TropesFToJ* Friends/TropesKToO* Friends/TropesPToS* Friends/TropesTToZ[[/index]]----

Martin Luther King, Jr. honored with festivities
Howell Dennis
CROWLEY – There was an electric feeling in the air during the Delta Sigma Theta sponsored Dr. Martin Luther King Day celebration.
"I've been here for the past several years there's a different feeling this year," said newly elected City Judge M'elise Trahan as the crowd erupted in applause.
"The feeling that we are getting closer to reaching Dr. King's dream that each person will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
The theme for this year's celebration was "Remember! Celebrate! Act! A day on, not a day off."
Several local dignitaries were in attendance for the program including Crowley Mayor Greg Jones, Alderman Vernon "Step" Martin, and recently retired Judge Barrett Harrington.
Those in attendance got to enjoy some songs by the St. Theresa Youth Choir, a skit about Rosa Parks by the Delta Debs and Beaux, and a praise dance by the dancers of the Israelite Baptist Church.
However, the highlight of the event had to be the speech by keynote speaker Kenneth Boudreaux, the Director of Youth Services in Lafayette as well as a Lafayette city councilman and a member of the Lafayette District Attorney's Office.
"If there was not a Dr. King there would not be a Barack Obama, it is important that we separate these two days. Because one day we may have a Martin Luther King Day, a Barack Obama Day, and maybe even a Kenneth Boudreaux day," he said to the laughter of those in attendance.
"The time to act is now," he said. "I saw people celebrating when Barack won saying that we have finally made it, but I'm here to tell you that Barack will not be in your class to take your tests, he will not be here to clean up Hutchinson Ave., and he will not prevent us from killing one another."
Boudreaux went on to describe what he called Polaroid moments.
"I see plenty of people with Obama t-shirts and bumper stickers but are you registered to vote, fathers play ball with their sons when the cameras on them but do they do it when nobody's around?" he said.
"I'm here to tell you that we need to do these things for the right reasons and that time is now."
As Boudreaux left the stage he was given a long standing ovation.
In a touching moment at the end of the ceremony the entire crowd joined hands and sung "We Shall Overcome."
With the significance of tomorrow's historic day, it can be easily stated that the day King dreamed of is much closer to becoming a reality.

We're a class act, say Tories
The oiks and plebs of the Tory back benches are in uproar at being left out of a document showcasing the party's working-class talent. The Renewal Group, a think-tank, recently published a collection of essays by 14 Tory MPs from humble roots, such as Patrick McLoughlin, about why they had been attracted to the party. David Amess, the Southend MP who compiled it, was immediately deluged with complaints from salt-of-the-earth MPs who had not been asked.
"My office did their best to identify working-class colleagues," he protested in an email this week. If only

As for Anna and making the final, I think her scores will rise if she skates well. I also think Sotnikova was at the same event and didn't capitalize for the win.
I do hope and think Anna's PCS will rise and she is consistent, so she will continue to be one of the top medal contenders, and I am excited to see how she develops
Finally finished watching the Ladies. Congrats to Anna P. (relatively unknown to me) she deserved the win here, she out-skated her competition.
I am not to concerned about Caro, mistakes kept her off the top of the podium, but I am confident by the time Sochi rolls
around she will be in top shape.
Good showing for Adelina. She is a very good SP skater but she just needs to focus and execute her LP a little better.
Congrats to the Medalists!

As for underwear, we always see underwear thanks to the ugly flesh-colored tights, what bothered me was that it looked like she was almost bare under the dress.
I also got to see Anna P.'s LP, and her jumps and moves are impressive, but that music is so featureless. It's just a bunch of chords.
Caroline's costume made me think of Wonder Woman...
I'm also glad Carolina will be wearing a different dress.

Pharmacy Residency Programs: PGY-2 Ambulatory Care
The purpose of this 12-month PGY-2 Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Residency Program is to provide residents the opportunity to accelerate their growth beyond entry-level competence in patient-centered care and to further the development of leadership and teaching skills that can be applied in any position and in any practice setting related to ambulatory care.

One can transfer safely and quickly between the suit and a sealed vehicle.
A suitlock assembly that comprises a docking fixture and mechanism has been invented to facilitate and accelerate donning and doffing of a sealed protective suit and/or to enable ingress and egress between the protective suit and a sealed vessel. The sealed protective suit could be a space suit, in which case the sealed vessel could be a spacecraft. Alternatively, the sealed suit could be an environmental protective suit of a type worn on Earth during cleanup of a hazardous-material site, in which case the sealed vessel could be a vehicle equipped to maintain a safe interior environment for workers in transit to and from the site. Figure 1 depicts a typical situation in which several crewmembers are working inside such a vehicle, one is working outside in a protective suit, and one is donning or doffing a protective suit while holding onto an overhead bar for support.
The wearer turns a handle (not shown in the figures) at the lower right corner of the suitlock assembly to actuate a cable linkage that, in turn, actuates latches and rack-and-pinion subassemblies at several positions around the periphery of the opening. The overall effect of this action is to detach the PLSS assembly from the suit and the inner hatch cover from the hatch ring and to transfer the PLSS assembly into the hatch. The inner hatch cover and the PLSS assembly can then be taken into the interior of the vehicle to make room for the wearer to leave the suit and enter the vehicle. The foregoing sequence of operations is reversed for a wearer donning the suit and leaving the vehicle.

In the wake of A&E's "Dog the Bounty Hunter" and HBO's "Family Bonds," bounty hunting appears poised to supplant poker as cable's next me-too phenomenon. So along comes women's channel WE with the title-says-it-all "Wife, Mom, Bounty Hunter," featuring blond and zaftig ex-wrestler Sandra Scott, who conveniently lives near Phoenix, where the heat makes it's OK to wear tank tops at all times. Yet even with those assets -- and Arizona's status as a "right to carry" state, increasing the chances her targets will be armed -- the first three episodes manage to be a rollicking bore.
In the wake of A&E's "Dog the Bounty Hunter" and HBO's "Family Bonds," bounty hunting appears poised to supplant poker as cable's next me-too phenomenon. So along comes women's channel WE with the title-says-it-all "Wife, Mom, Bounty Hunter," featuring blond and zaftig ex-wrestler Sandra Scott, who conveniently lives near Phoenix, where the heat makes it OK to wear tank tops at all times. Yet even with those assets — and Arizona's status as a "right to carry" state, increasing the chances her targets will be armed — the first three episodes manage to be a rollicking bore.
The hourlong premiere has all the subtlety of a nightstick over the noggin, as Scott wrestles with two of her three designated duties — organizing a birthday party for her daughter while trying to apprehend a woman guilty of "failure to appear." Later, a tragedy befalls the family Chihuahua while Scott's preparing to bring in some shirtless dude who seems resigned to being hauled off to the joint.
The net effect not only lacks suspense but actually engenders sympathy for the people Scott and her posse (which occasionally includes her barely verbal husband) pursue. Even attempts to build tension with interview dialogue like "In retrospect, I should have been terrified" are undermined when Scott acknowledges that the woman brought into custody is "too sick and too frail to fight us."
Subsequent episodes feature Scott seeking a young woman — thus evoking "mom" feelings about her own teenager, 15-year-old cheerleader Sabree — and nabbing a guy with gang ties who, in another big-time bummer, turns out to be deathly ill. Ultimately, any series in which the production notes describe the heroine as "saucy" and a "bombshell" — exaggerations on both counts — is trying a bit too hard.
At every turn, the producers labor to play up the dichotomy between Scott's personal life and professional duties, but both feel mildly depressing — despite the 1970s-style score, vaguely reminiscent of the "SWAT" theme, vainly employed to heighten the excitement quotient.
Then again, there's something decidedly retro about the entire concept, which implies shock that a woman can fry up the bacon and then use the pan to crack a perp over the head. If nothing else, it's at least a new kind of crimeshow — one that unwittingly inspires the audience to half root for petty criminals. From that perspective, maybe "Wife, Mom, Chihuahua Owner" would have been a more emotional hook.

Recommended Word Lists for Vocabulary Instruction
- Grades: PreK–K, 1–2, 3–5
Here are the top five word lists recommended by Francie Alexander, Chief Academic Officer and publisher of primary programs for Scholastic Education. Use them for vocabulary instruction in your own classroom!
Compound Words (PDF)
Two for the price of one! Compound words can double student word knowledge. (Teaching Phonics and Word Study in the Intermediate Grades by Wiley Blevins, 2001, Scholastic Inc. in the Teacher Store.)
Most Common Prefixes / Most Common Suffixes (PDF)
This list not only provides the meaning but also a key word to use as an example of each prefix and suffix. (Teaching Reading Sourcebook: For Kindergarten Through Eighth Grade, Bill Honig, Linda Diamond and Linda Gutlohn, 2000, CORE.)
Instant Words
This list provides 1000 words to grow on; it comes from my top pick for making word lists: The Reading Teacher's Book of Lists, Fourth Edition (2000, Prentice Hall).
A New Academic Word List
Thank you Dr. Kate Kinsella of San Francisco State University! You introduced me to a more up-to-date list of words. This list addresses the needs of English Language Learners who are developing the vocabulary they need to succeed in school and beyond. (Coxhead, A. 2000, A New Academic Word List, TESOL Quarterly.)
Spanish-English Connection
This list is from the Scholastic Transition Program Teacher's Edition. It illustrates the importance of knowing more than one language, and I think it would be interesting for students.
- Part of Collection:
- Subjects:ESL and ELL, Vocabulary, Teacher Tips and Strategies
- Skills:Vocabulary

On election night, the Kentucky Derby Festival Queen of 1959 sat in her hotel suite with a set of rollers framing her face and watched a TV announcer report she had become the nation's only woman governor—and a sudden factor in national politics. Then Martha Layne Collins, 46, combed out her natural-blond-going-silver hair, smoothed her trademark conservative royal-blue suit and strode downstairs onto the ballroom platform at Louisville's Executive West Motor Hotel to deliver her victory speech. "How sweet it is," she began, but that depended on where one was standing. The moment was bittersweet for outgoing Gov. John Y. Brown Jr., 49, and lame-duck Kentucky First Lady Phyllis George, 34. "Well," quipped Brown, joining Collins onstage, "do I hand over the keys to the helicopter now?"
The remark had some bite in Kentucky, where the departing fried chicken king had been criticized for his highflying ways as governor—such as not fulfilling a promise to sell the state's $1.8-million helicopter to raise money for teachers' salaries. His successor's style, however, is much more station wagon than Sikorsky. And locals were quick to speculate how Collins' accession would dampen the thriving social scene at the governor's mansion created by Phyllis.
The two women have much in common. Both were reared in small towns and influenced by strong mothers. Both became cheerleaders, sorority members and beauty queens. But while Phyllis hobnobs with celebs at Hollywood parties, Martha Layne prefers neighbors and Baptist church events. Phyllis often would wing to New York for shopping sprees at exclusive boutiques and was known to return with multiple versions of the same item in different colors. Martha Layne sometimes wears homemade clothes and buys off the rack. "Phyllis thought a New York hairdresser should feel honored to fly down to Kentucky to do her hair," says one acquaintance. "A local hairdresser does Martha Layne's, but she often does it herself."
The biggest difference between them, of course, is that Phyllis is the wife of a politician, while Collins is the genuine article. Little more than a decade after entering politics, Collins has become the first woman to win a governorship in a Southern state without following her husband into office and the third ever to do so in the country. Her victory over Republican opponent Jim Bunning, 52, the former professional baseball player, immediately put her name high on the list of females given a shot at the 1984 Democratic Vice-Presidential spot.
Considered a moderate to conservative, Collins sidestepped most controversial issues during the campaign. "I don't just say a lot of things," she has said. "I'm very systematic and cautious." ("She never pretended to be an intellectual," says Liz Thomas, chairman of the state's Republican Party.) Collins favors the death penalty and opposes abortion. She backed the Equal Rights Amendment but has done little for it. A dogged campaigner, she managed to visit all of the state's 120 counties. "She doesn't threaten anyone. Small-town women like her and men think she looks like a nice wife and mother," says Edward Prichard, 68, an FDR adviser and the grand old man of Kentucky Democrats.
Collins is as much a homegrown product as the mint that goes into juleps on Derby Day. She was born Martha Layne Hall in Bagdad, Ky., a small town (pop. 250) about 40 miles east of Louisville. Her parents, Everett and Mary Hall, run a funeral parlor. Raised a strict Baptist—"The most important advice I ever gave her was to feel and believe that Jesus Christ died for her sins," says her mother—she met her husband, Bill, now 45, the son of a football coach from eastern Kentucky, while working at a Baptist summer camp in 1957. She graduated from the University of Kentucky (Bill quarter-backed the nearby Georgetown College football team). They married in 1959 and have two children. Steve, 22, works in the funeral home, and Maria, 19, is a junior at her mother's alma mater.
Once a secondary school home economics and math teacher (her husband is a dentist and businessman), Collins came late to the political fray. Named a national Democratic committee member by then Gov. Wendell Ford in 1971, she quickly earned a reputation as an extraordinarily devoted worker. Ford, her mentor, used to find her toiling away late at the office with her kids asleep on the floor. She ran successfully in 1975 for clerk of the state court of appeals and four years later won the lieutenant governorship.
The Collinses moved into the lieutenant governor's mansion in Frankfort from their country-style home on a 13-acre farm in nearby Versailles. In less hectic times, Martha Layne liked to garden and run the tractor. They spend weekends on a houseboat moored on the Kentucky River and their entertaining is low-key. Collins "fries the burgers and opens the beer cans and makes sure everyone has enough pretzels," says a friend. "If you don't let her wait on you, she won't be happy."
That will be quite a switch from the John and Phyllis Show, as it was sometimes called. Brown's own political future is clouded. Last spring it was reported that he had lost $1.3 million gambling in Las Vegas. In June he underwent triple bypass heart surgery and then barely survived lung complications. Running for President—his and Phyllis' dream—now seems unlikely. Political associates say he is considering the Senate and Phyllis, due any day now with their second child, wants to cash in on her celebrity status by endorsing products. "She really lost out on her career these past four years," says a confidant. The Browns expect to stay in the governor's mansion until the baby is born. Says a press aide, "They really want to say the baby lived in the mansion."
After that, the party's over. Collins' straitlaced ways caused some associates to dub her "Mother Superior." "Martha Layne knows it's not going to be easy," says one friend. "She's always had to work twice as hard because she's a woman."
Kentucky's New First Family Includes Another Beauty Queen—but Martha Layne Collins Is the Governor

Your thoughts will likely turn to topics related to health and home today. Any worry you might have felt in the past regarding your professional or personal prospects may disappear as you begin to recognize that you have been blessed with material and emotional security. You may feel particular self-reliant and eager to take on new tasks related to both your survival and your personal growth. Since you likely believe wholeheartedly that you are capable of successfully seeing to your well-being and that of your loved ones, you may spend less time today contemplating potential pitfalls and more time enjoying your ongoing efforts to build a comfortable, nurturing, and serene life.
When we feel secure, we are more apt to really immerse ourselves in those little details of our lives that make simply existing more enjoyable and enable us to engender our potential more fully than ever before. Since we can settle in to our lives without fearing that chaos is waiting for us just around the bend, we are able to concentrate on improving our overall level of comfort through the choices we make at home and at work. Mental energy once devoted to worry is redirected and can be applied to any number of more thoughtful recreational and productive pursuits. Our lives become ours once again as we grow to understand that we are the arbiters of our destiny and are not at the mercy of circumstance. The security you feel today will form the foundation upon which you truly thrive.

It's been more than 30 years since wings were factory installed buthere's how to get one on your A-Body
Its function is a matter of debate. But whether or not you feel the rearwing offered on the '70 Duster is functional, you have to admit it looksreally cool on the trunk lid. though when it came from the factory, theGo-Wing was an often over-looked option, especially on the A-Bodies. Itis the one piece of musclecar heritage the import crowd has made adebacle of by modifying the original design and mounting it on theirso-called cars.
It's been more than 30 years since the last car rolled off theDodge/Plymouth assembly line with one of these wings attached, butthanks to First Place Auto Products (FPAP), the version that made itsdebut in 1970 is being offered to the public again. This brand-new,concours-quality kit features cast pedestals, the molded wing, and allattaching hardware. Even if your trunk lid was not equipped with a wing,First Place Auto Products has designed and manufactured templates tocorrectly locate and mount the wing to any '70-'76 Duster, Demon, orDart Sport trunk lid. The material used to manufacture this reproductionwing is an ABS-based thermoplastic (a proprietary blend), which ismolded in gray (as the originals were). It's not fiberglass. No originalMopar wings were ever made of fiberglass. This two-piece wing derivesits rigid stability from the material itself, instead of a secondarysupport such as a metal rod or foam. All the specifications are correct:thickness, taper, length, height, crown, and weight of the wing are "asfactory." The wing is painted in black primer, but can be supplied incorrect, original, black suede Organsol-Black finish. The pedestals aremade of hollow zinc die-cast construction, and the underside bracketsare powdercoated black. Even though the Go-Wing was only offered in1970, First Place Auto Products offers every part needed, includingplacement instructions, to correctly mount this spoiler on any '70-'76A-Body, '70-'74 B-Body, or '70-'74 E-Body. What's more, it's licensedand endorsed by Ma Mopar as an official Mopar authorized reproductionproduct made in the good ol' U.S. of A.

What is an orphan in Haiti?
In a country like Haiti, that even in the best of times has so many needs, some of the children in orphanages do actually have parents. But for many reason the desperate parents are not able to care for their children.
Now the earthquake has created a multitude of new orphans, children whose family is nowhere in sight and no one knows yet who they are. Some children will be reunited with parents or other family members, but others are truly orphans with no surviving family members.
The latter are the ones we should be thinking about when we encourage adoption. It would not be right to whisk children away from their own language and culture without making a tremendous effort to locate their family. Imagine yourself the mother or father or grandparent of a child who just disappears. Is he dead? Has she been sold as a prostitute? Think of the grief and agony for the rest of your life, not knowing.
One category of Haitian orphans are children who were in the process of being adopted. Secretary of State Clinton says,"[We will] do all we can to expedite the travel of children who were in the line for adoption who have a legal permanent home, guardianship, waiting for them." These are children who had already been cleared for adoption before the earthquake.
Now we should pray:
1. for a network of able people striving to reconnect "lost" children with their parents.
2. for loving care for the children as they wait and then perhaps discover that their family is dead.
3. godly homes and loving hearts open to adopting those who prove to be true orphans.

I would really encourage you Americans to see adopting and children as a tremendous blessing and priviledge. Here in Australia our hands are tied, and we are very limited in what we can do to help in this area – very frustrating! Embrace the wonderful oporunities you have to be blessed by a precious child who really needs a Mommy and Daddy!
Today I have heard from a very reliable source, that these are both wonderful ministries that are working to find help/homes on behalf of these suffering children:

Housing starts increased 6.8% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 914,000 for May, according to a Commerce Department report (link opens a PDF) released today.
After nose-diving more than 15% the previous month, the newest numbers were expected to go up, but analysts' predictions of a 955,000 rate proved too optimistic for May's report.
Housing permits tapered off in May. New privately owned housing units authorized by building permits eased down 3.1% from April to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 974,000, essentially matching analyst expectations.
As the last, but most complete indicator of housing stock growth, housing completions fell 0.9% month-to-month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 690,000 in May.
Looking back to May 2012, housing starts have soared 28.6%, permits are up 20.8%, and completions have managed a 12.6% increase.
Today's news comes a day after a report showed homebuilder sentiment had tipped from majority pessimistic to majority optimistic for the first time since April 2006.

This week - just as new revelations emerged of Syrian regime massacres of women and children - Moscow ordered the harshest measures against its own political opposition since Vladimir Putin first took power.
What do the Syrian and Russian crackdowns have in common? The answer holds the key to preventing a Syrian bloodbath that will unsettle the entire Middle East.
It's no accident that the Kremlin targets domestic critics even as it props up the regime of Bashar al-Assad. Moscow denied Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's charge that it supplied attack helicopters to Damascus. But Russian President Putin is deeply hostile to revolutions from below, whether at home, in former Soviet satellites, or in the Middle East.

All things ASK-21 UMX!!!
Hey folks,
There is starting to get a little bit of a cult following with this little beauty glider, so i thought id start a thread for all things ASK-21.
Maybe some posts like longest flight off the stock bungee and flying tips ect.
Last weekend a few of the Hammo guys had there little ASK's out for a bit of fun and as there were 2 carbon cubs there too, it didnt take long for the tow's to get going! Without much luck, i came up with the idea of using my Multiplex FunCub to tow them up!! But, being such a larger plane than the glider, it was just too much pull for the glider to handle.
Bing!! on went the idea light in my head once again, so i have a fully controllable RC freefall skydiver that is dropped out of a drop box on the bottom of the FunCub, the FC being piloted by usually Mr.K and the freefall skydiver controlled by whoever wants a jump at the time. The freefaller is fully controllable from pulling the chute, to flaring on landing!! But thats another story, if you want more information on the skydiver just PM me and i can start a thread for Punxatawny Phil the freefaller.
So i decided to mount the drop box on top of the wing, over the CG of the FunCub cause its literally just velcroed onto the plane (HK's blue velcro, its strong as nails) and voila! Instant piggy back!!
The first few flights were a little hairy as the speed of the cub and the drag on the gliders wings was a little too much for the proud owners of their little bubs, so we decided the only way up is quick, and vertical!! The FC is way overpowered and is often seen being 3D'd by Mr.K after a para drop!!
Once we had a few successful flights piggy backing we were going up one after the other, it turned out to be an awesome way to get them to altitude where they could get longer glides, and the guys were nice enough to let me have a little flight down and i ended being the longest up there!! lol
Crashmatt and myself have both spent the last 2 nights dreaming then making up a few little power pods to get the gliders to altitude with power, then eject the pod to see it parachute safely to the ground for the next flight!! Both our pods are very different in design, but both are powered by the internal electrics found on most of the UMX range like the GeeBee and BeastX ect.
To have control over the throttle, we bind the 2 receivers at the same time so when climbing the glider pretty much becomes a powered glider, when at the chosen height we want to glide back from, we use the gear switch that disconnects the tow hook thats attached to the front of the pod and nose down and throttle up till we see a deffinate separation, at that stage we hit throttle cut or throttle down and the pod should be falling back with a nice slow descent rate. Well, all that is theory so far as we havent maidened the pods yet, but will do tomorrow morning and report back on how they went.
For now, here is the pic of the FunCub with the ASK-21 on its back ready for a piggy back!
Here is one of the pod im building very early on in its build stage and the electrics i'll be using thanks to Matt!!!
Essentially, the pod is a centre piece from an old Zagi 400 wing i have spares of. The 2 sides are corflute where the wings will be saddled in, and at the nose you can just make out the small metal wire where the tow release mechanism locks in. The motor esc/rx with be fixed to the bottom of the pod and the parachute will be packed in under the belly of the glider. Its all slightly snug, enough that the chute wont pull out on power but not too tight that the pod wont pull away from the glider.
We got the pod idea from this video:
But unlike in the video, we wont be using a kill switch. We did buy the switches and plan on using them, but though it easier to just utilise the throttle and throttle cut off.
Enjoy the thread, i look forward to some more pilots checking in!!!
The k21 is a nice little sloper too. Here is a vid of me sloping it in Taz. Sorry its from an iPhone and the slope had the lift a long way out so its not great quality. It slopes with AS3X either on or of nice and spins loops and fles inverted ok. Rolls not so good yet.
We tried one of the pods today (Matt's bling one) and it was slightly under powered but flew well. Only real problem had was that the wing cradles were slightly too tight not releasing off the glider so I think he's at home fixing that as I type.
I've got all the necessary parts now so I'll get mine done this afternoon hopefully and give it a try soon. I'll get a pic up of the finished product too.
On another note, I tried the supplied bungee and that was quite disappointing to say the least! I think the pods and FunCub piggy back are going to be the best ways to get this thing to thermal hunting height.
was in winter so no thermals but this little glider is a beauty, here is a couple of my bungee launches.
Also a couple of posts with power options
cheers chuck
Edit. Vid coming.
Short clip of the first power pod maiden, mods needed. But has potential!!
This a short vid of my ASK-21 slope soaring. Flies inverted very well I thought!
The bungee and tow are a waste of time.
Keep up the nice flying
Ive finally finished my power pod this evening!!
I'll give it a go tomorrow morning or afternoon, depending on if i decide to sleep in or not, i think i might sleep in actually!!! lol Plus, if it gets as hot as they say, i might want to fly in the heat of the day to get thermals, that said, its only if the pod works!! I powered it up with a load this arvo and held it vertical, and it wanted to climb out of my hand so it should do, but the main concern i have is if the glider will release from the pod or not, just like Matt's didnt want to release.
If that dont work, im buying a helium tank, a big arse balloon and a beach rod with about 200m fishing line to float the sucker up, then wind the balloon back in for another flight, but im guessing it wont work too well once the wind comes up!! LOL
Here are a couple of vids launching the K21 using a Quad, originally posted on the main ASK21 thread:

Basketball's Top Scorer Is Not In The NBA
Everage Richardson is the world's top-scoring basketball player. You've probably never heard of him, because like thousands of American players, he's taken his game overseas. Three years ago, he moved from Brooklyn, N.Y., to Elbingrode, a town of 6,000 in the Harz Mountains. Das Schwarze Perle — "The Black Pearl" — as he is known here, averaged an astounding 42 points a game. Connor Donevan reports.

Gerrit was a great host. The bedroom was warm and comfortable with basic amenities (bottled waters, kettle, plates, cutlery, teas, etc). The bathroom (located across the hall) was very clean with lots of towels. Also, the bedroom has some maps and brochures for tourists.
Being our first experience with Windu, very pleased. Gerrit is a very attentive and cheerful host, gives you all possible facilities. Newcomers welcomed us and explained everything in detail, he gave us maps of the city and transportation. The room and the bathroom had everything we needed. Very good location, with public transport at the door and accessible walking to downtown smoothly, the central station of the city within 10 minutes. Definitely recommended for anyone going to Munich.
Gerrit is very friendly and will take the time to describe the city. The room is very clean and has lots of guides and maps of Munich.
Big thanks for a great Oktoberfest experience!
Excellent accomodation (clean and tidy, within a reach to the city centre). Great host.
Gerrit is a spectacular host. Very helpful with directions/navigating the center city, place to eat, parking. Location is at the edge of the old town. Only comment about our stay is en suite would have been nice. Other than that, we had a great stay.
Perfectly located in the city center of Munich, Gerrit has a lovely guest room with private bathroom, ideal to spend a nice time in this lovely city! Gerrit was super kind and warm, see you next time Gerrit! Best wishes! Paulo

Ratings for Dr. Stuart E. Sinoff
I love him! He is extremely intelligent and quirky in a good way. He sat with me for almost 2 hours on my first appointment and described -in great detail and in terms that I actually understood- my condition and treatment options. You can tell just by talking to him that he loves what he does and cares about his patients.
I have suffered from Vertigo for decades and have been to 3 other doctors and finally given up. A friend of mine who has muscular dystrophy mentioned Dr. Sinoff and I thought I'd give it a try since i had also begun to lose my hearing. I liked Dr. Sinoff immediately and yes he is quite brilliant and quirky as mentioned in another comment which I appreciate! My workup was well into a year and extremely extensive. In the end I was diagnosed with end stage Meniere's and nystagmus of unknown etiology that was not associated with the Meniere's induced nystagmus. The kicker? He put me on a simple diuretic and I have had such relief from the vertigo it is amazing AND my hearing has improved since I've been on it. I wish I would have found this man 3 neurologists ago as I have suffered for years. I found him to be very knowledgeable in his field and I am an RN so I am probably quite critical compared to others. This guy really knows his stuff.
I agree, Dr. Sinoff is very detailed. The first time I saw him, he spent an hour and a half with me. He's extremely intellectual, and being thus, is also a little eccentric or quirky. He's almost speaking another language, he's so profoundly intelligent, and he doesn't mind mentioning his accomplishments and associations. But he does offer caring and encouragement. He hasn't helped me so far, but then, nobody has over these past 25 years, and he does continue to try for me. Marian Finehirsh, the nurse practitioner who works with him, is extremely nice and down to earth.
Takes time to talk to you in detail. Very detailed!!!

This brooch is in the form of a basket of flowers and contains platinum rock crystal, moonstone and baguette- and brilliant-cut diamonds. This basket of flowers shows an eastern and a geometric influence. The blooms are stylised, and the base and the edge of the basket are emphasised by rectangular (baguette-cut) diamonds. The combination of rock crystal with diamonds and platinum provides a study in shades of white and colourless materials.
