JoMarie Payton originally appeared on Perfect Strangers in 1987 in the recurring role of Harriette Winslow, the elevator operator for the Chicago Chronicle. Reginald VelJohnson later made one appearance on Perfect Strangers in the 1988 episode "Crimebusters" as Carl Winslow, policeman and husband of Harriette Winslow. Due to large popularity of Payton's character with audiences, the character was spun off to its own show, Family Matters.[2][3] While Payton, VelJohnson, and Telma Hopkins (as Harriette's widowed sister Rachel) were initially the stars of the show, with the focus being around the Winslow family, Jaleel White was introduced as nerdy neighbor Steve Urkel during the middle of the first season in the episode "Laura's First Date"; Urkel, the lovesick pursuer of Laura Winslow (portrayed by Kellie Shanygne Williams), quickly became a popular breakout character with audiences.[4][5]
Shortly after the introduction of White as Steve Urkel, Shawn Harrison was cast in the role of Waldo Faldo, initially as sidekick to a bully portrayed by Larenz Tate that terrorized everyone and Urkel. When Tate and Harrison were offered the chance to return to the show on a recurring basis, only Harrison took up the offer.[6] As a result, his character was re-written to be the best friend of Eddie Winslow (portrayed by Darius McCrary). Harrison eventually joined the main cast in the 1992–1993 season. Soon after, Michelle Thomas was cast in the role of Myra Monkhouse, love interest and later girlfriend of Steve Urkel. Initially cast on a recurring basis, Thomas joined the main cast as a regular in the 1994–1995 season. In the 1996–1997 season, Orlando Brown was added to the cast as Jerry Jamal "3J" Jameson, a troubled youth being mentored by Steve who becomes the foster child of the Winslows.
Main characters[edit]
The series featured 12 main characters with their actors appearing during the opening credits.
Carl Otis Winslow[edit]
Played by Reginald VelJohnson.
Carl Otis Winslow, who originally appeared in the Perfect Strangers episode "Crimebusters" alongside his wife Harriette, is the son of Estelle Winslow and the late Samuel, brother-in-law of Rachel Crawford, and the biological father of Eddie, Laura, and Judy Winslow, uncle of Richie Crawford and adoptive father of "3J" Jameson. He is a short-tempered person, but still has a kind and humble nature. He mentioned in the season one episode "The Mama Who Came to Dinner" as having three brothers named Frank, Walter and Calvin, and in another episode from that same season, "The Party", a brother named Darryl. His initials spell "COW", and he is often teased because of this. He holds his position as "King of the Castle" (a self-proclaimed "Big Kahuna") very seriously; however, he is easy to admit defeat to Harriette when involved in typical marital disputes.
Carl is constantly annoyed by his pesky neighbor, Steve Urkel, who has a very high level of respect for Carl, and affectionately calls him "Big Guy". Although Steve is relentlessly annoying, and has cost the Winslow family large amounts of time and money from his own clumsy demeanor, he has shown he's more mature than Eddie is in accepting responsibility. Carl is often there to back Steve up, and help him out in times of distress. Although he continues to be exasperated and irritated by his antics, over the progression of the show's run, Carl develops a fondness for Steve that surprises even himself.
Carl is an officer for the Chicago Police Department. He takes his job seriously, and it is often suggested that he is very good at what he does, despite the fact that his boss, Lt. Murtaugh, is very incompetent. Fitting into the cop stereotype, he has an avid love for doughnuts and other junk food. This plays into the fact that he is overweight, and in several stories throughout the series, Carl's physical health plays a role (in the season 4 episode "Driving Carl Crazy", he is revealed to have high blood pressure, which got dangerous because he tried to dodge dieting). Carl starts the series as a police sergeant; he is later promoted to lieutenant in season 5's "That's What Friends Are For," and eventually captain in season 9's "Who's Afraid of the Big Black Book?". Carl is also the only character to appear in every single episode of the series.
Harriette Baines-Winslow[edit]
Played by Jo Marie Payton (1989–1997), and Judyann Elder (1998).
Harriette is Carl's wife, Rachel's big sister, biological mother of Eddie, Laura, and Judy, aunt of Richie, and adoptive mother of 3J and the daughter of Jimmy Baines and Darlene Baines. Harriette is a very conservative and strong-willed woman. She holds her role in society as a mother and working woman with high regard. Harriette is very reluctant to tell people what they want to hear, as she is very frank and upfront about her feelings. She is very constructive in her demeanor and attitude. She first appeared in Perfect Strangers as a "elevator operator" for the Chicago Chronicle, before being laid off and later rehired as Director of Security in the season one episode "Two-Income Family" and then fired from the Chronicle in the season five episode "A Matter of Principle" for refusing to reduce her security staff during a budget crisis. She was later employed by Ferguson's Department Store beginning with the season six episode "The Looney Bin," initially as a service clerk, then later promoted to Head of Sales in the season nine episode "Out With the Old".
Edward "Eddie" James Arthur Winslow[edit]
Played by Darius McCrary.
Eddie is a casual NBA, NFL fan, and jock. He is the oldest child of Carl and Harriette Winslow, and their only son until they adopt 3J in season eight. During the early years of the series, he was a high school student with stereotypical traits of a high school slacker. He had poor grades, irresponsible behavior, and is always pursuing beautiful girls.
In the first season, he appeared to be more good-intended and responsible, despite being academically challenged. In the pilot episode, he approached his father to make an exception stay out past his curfew, and confessed to his father that his straight-A report card was a classmate's prank once he found out. But as the series progressed, Eddie gradually becomes more rebellious, making many poor choices that land him into trouble, and he avoids responsibility as often as he can. Eddie frequently had a stormy relationship with his father, especially concerning Carl's strict rules, but also because of Eddie's immature attitude and penchant for breaking rules. Being a rebel and hedonist, his viewpoint of adulthood is very childish, as he despises being treated like a kid and demands the total freedom from rules as an adult, but at the same time, fiercely avoids adult responsibilities and usually depends on his family and friends to take care of them for him.
It was shown a few times that Eddie was prone to gambling and getting into trouble and refused to go to Carl for help, which got him into more trouble than not, such as dealing with a pool hustler in season 2's "Fast Eddie Winslow". When getting into trouble or debt, Eddie would often try to solve the problem himself, refusing to confess to his father at the risk of being punished, which would likely land him into trouble with his father anyways. Once damaging the family car in the Season 2 episode, "Busted", he was caught illegally gambling at an underground casino, hoping to win money and pay for repairs without telling his parents. In the season 3 episode, "Jailhouse Blues", when he got arrested and sent home by the police for joyriding in a stolen car with his delinquent cousin, he attempted to sweet talk out of getting punished by his father, which only got him punished for the remainder of the year. And when getting into gambling debt again and threatened by a tough bookie (Bubba Smith) in the season five episode "Money Out the Window", he attempts to sell Carl's rare stamp, hoping to buy it back before being caught by his father. Once more, after getting scammed in season 7, "Scammed", he lied to his father to borrow money to pay an illegally overpriced bar tab. However, on a few occasions, he has shown he was willing to go to his father for help, such as when he was ripped off by Weasel's friend when he was sold a stolen stereo system in season four's "Hot Stuff", and got racially profiled by two white cops when cited for a traffic violation that he did not commit in season five's "Good Cop, Bad Cop".
During the first two seasons, he was friends with classmate Rodney Beckett. From the third season onwards, Eddie's best friends were Waldo Faldo and Steve Urkel. He also on occasion, would hang out with "Weasel". Initially, his relationship with Steve – who considered Eddie his "best bud", and often affectionately called him "Eddo" – was little more than out of pity (because Steve was an unpopular nerd). Eddie remained loyal to Steve, and he eventually accepted him as a true friend.
Eddie has dated a large number of girls throughout the series, with very few of them reappearing as his girlfriend. Sometimes he would even have relationships with more than one girl at the same time. Even Steve has remembered the names of many of Eddie's girlfriends, but cannot keep track of which one Eddie currently dates. When he met a current one and attempted to guess her name, Steve foolishly blurted out many names, likely the names of Eddie's past girlfriends, which leads to Eddie chasing after the nerd. However, Eddie has shown that he is not beyond desiring true love and pursuing an honest and serious relationship. His most enduring, successful, and ultimately final relationship is with Greta McClure. His relationship with Greta developed throughout the series and faced many obstacles, most notably in the forms of Myrtle Urkel, and Greta's father Dave McClure (owner of Eddie's employer Mighty Weenie).
Eddie has two main adversaries on the show. The first was his former boss, Dave McClure, who did not approve of Eddie dating his daughter and tried to keep them apart in three episodes (including "My Bodyguard" and "Walking My Baby Back Home" in season seven). As of the series finale, Eddie and Greta are still dating and are living together in an apartment, in spite of Mr. McClure having disowned her. Eddie's second main adversary is Myrtle Urkel, the cousin of Steve Urkel and a rich Southern belle whose infatuation with Eddie mirrored Steve's infatuation to Laura. However, unlike Steve, Myrtle never respected Eddie's personal space and kept pursuing him much to his extreme terror. She waited until season seven (beginning with the episode "She's Back") to try and win his love, but he was dating Greta at the time. Unlike Laura's would-be boyfriends when it came to Steve, Greta was more successful in warding Myrtle off. Undaunted, Myrtle made her last push to win Eddie's heart by getting a makeover, but he was still not impressed. She soon relinquished her love for him in season nine's "Don't Make Me Over," and set her sights on other guys.
Eddie has shown to have matured and become more responsible and hardworking throughout the series. Though he started as a poor student, he got accepted into college. He worked at a Mighty Weenie restaurant and became its manager. But when his academic challenges restarted in college, Eddie switched his focus to become a police officer like his father. Eddie enrolled at the police academy in the season nine episode "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do," eventually getting hired by the Chicago Police Department as a rookie officer at the end of the series in "Lost in Space (Part 1)".
Laura Lee Winslow[edit]
Played by Kellie Shanygne Williams.
Laura is the oldest daughter of Harriette and Carl Winslow, and the object of Steve Urkel's affections. In school, Laura was essentially the ideal girl; beautiful, popular, and received very good grades. Unlike her brother, who was a slacker and more into sports, Laura was very independent and focused with her education, and was even distraught when her straight-A streak was broken by a mere B+. She often tried to do everything to succeed by herself, which was not always the right choice. She tried to start a babysitting business when she was a child, sneaked out of the house to burn herself out studying for a test despite her parents' insistence to rest, and worked a graveyard shift to save money to buy a car. She eventually got accepted to Harvard University in season seven's "Twinkle Toes Faldo," but decided to decline the offer because her parents could not afford the tuition, though she told them it was because she could not live so far from home.
Laura began as quite vain, often in pursuit of popular good-looking boys, being dismissive towards Steve, and showing little respect for her academically challenged older brother. She was not always a good judge of character, as a majority of her would-be boyfriends were antagonists in their appearances. She had many boyfriends who would bully Steve and who would cheat on her, but would ultimately end with Steve warding them off. Laura generally had little patience for Steve's antics, but her seeming dislike of him only seemed to egg him on further. She eventually grew wiser and demonstrated better judgement. She has shown appreciation to Steve when he selflessly helped her and the Winslows out when they needed him. Laura eventually learned to love Steve. They became a couple in the final (ninth) season episode "Trading Places" and later engaged to be married in the third to last episode, "Pop Goes the Question".
Judith "Judy" Winslow[edit]
Played by Valerie Jones (pilot only), and Jaimee Foxworth (1989–1993).
Judy is the younger daughter, and youngest biological child, of Carl and Harriette Winslow. Her middle name is unknown (Laura's middle name is Lee and Eddie's middle names are James and Arthur). She is nine years old as the series begins, and remains in the series until she is thirteen. It is suggested that she enjoys a close relationship with her sister Laura. She attended elementary school, and later middle school (in sixth grade). During the series' fourth season (in "Mama's Wedding"), the character disappeared from the series altogether, with no explanation given. Series co-creator and executive producer William Bickley said she was cut due to a "budget consideration."[7]
Estelle "Mother" Winslow[edit]
Played by Rosetta LeNoire (1989–1995, 1996, 1997).
Estelle is the mother of Carl Winslow and his four brothers, Harriette's mother-in-law and grandmother of Eddie, Laura, and Judy Winslow. Estelle is a very wise woman and always very defensive of her grandchildren. Estelle moves into her son's household at the start of the series. She (unlike all of the other Winslows) was a friend of Steve Urkel for the entire series and loved him like a grandson. She loved when Steve came to the Winslow house and instead of trying to make him leave, she wanted him to stay. Steve always affectionately called her "Estelle, my Belle," which she loved. Estelle is street-wise and keeps up to date with the latest pop culture and trends, much to the surprise of her family. In later seasons (beginning with season two's "Requiem for an Urkel"), she begins a relationship with Fletcher Thomas, which Carl disapproves of initially before eventually accepting the relationship. The two later got married at the Winslow home in season four's "Mama's Wedding". Estelle would often say her catchphrase "way to go, Carl," usually to Carl when he did something wrong that she did not like.
Steven "Steve" Quincy Urkel[edit]
Played by Jaleel White.
Steve Urkel is a stereotypical nerd, with large, thick eyeglasses, "high-water" pants held up by suspenders, a high-pitch nasal-tone voice, and a snorting laugh. He first appeared in the season one episode "Laura's First Date", and was also known for his massive crush on Laura Winslow, whose affections he was constantly attempting to win. He became known for his signature "Urkel Dance", a novelty dance that he frequently performed.
While highly intelligent, he is also quite accident-prone (spawning his catchphrase, "Did I do that?") and socially awkward. As a nerd, he gradually grows to become an eccentric inventor, and soon, his ill-conceived inventions form a large bulk of the accidents he does to the Winslow house, and his callous desire to show them off torment Carl very frequently. He has also created numerous inventions that were otherwise considered impossible, such as a machine which turned him into his suave alter-ego, Stefan Urquelle, as well as alter his personality into other celebrities whose DNA he inexplicably collected, such as the crime-fighting Bruce Lee Urkel.
Steve is generally portrayed as an eccentric and dorky, but kindhearted and good-natured character. However, he is extremely overbearing, and other people, especially the Winslows, see him as very annoying, and he is rarely concerned by what anybody feels around him. While some of the main characters are more welcoming towards him, it is Carl, Eddie, and Laura, who are the most tormented by his antics, especially since they are the ones whom Steve wants to be around the most. However, Urkel finds himself more considerate of other people after enduring being stalked by Myra and finding out what it's like being unwillingly pursued, although he would still continue clinging to Laura, both to be with her as well as to escape from Myra. It is only after he lets go of Laura and accepts Myra, after much reluctance, that he no longer clings so much to others and his relationships finally become more stable.
Rachel Baines-Crawford[edit]
Played by Telma Hopkins (1989–1993; recurring, 1994–1995, 1997).
Rachel was Harriette's attractive and widowed younger sister. She moved in with the Winslows shortly after her husband, Robert, died. She is the mother of Richard "Richie" Crawford and the daughter of Jimmy Baines, who appeared in the season two episode "Finding the Words" to reconcile with her and Harriette, after he walked out on them when they were little. A budding singer, she is also a writer and an entrepreneur, opening Rachel's Place (a hangout for teenagers, much in the vein of Arnold's from Happy Days) in the season two episode "Rachel's Place," which replaced Leroy's, a similar hamburger joint that Urkel had accidentally burned down while working there. Rachel is seen throughout the first four seasons; after a year's absence (due to Telma Hopkins leaving the show full-time to star in the short-lived sitcom Getting By), she made occasional appearances during the sixth season. And ninth season Rachel considered herself more beautiful than Harriette. Rachel's trademark during the early seasons were her hats. Her final appearance was in the Christmas-themed episode "Deck the Malls" from the ninth season.
Richard "Richie" Crawford[edit]
Played by Joseph & Julius Wright (credited as Joseph Julius Wright) (1989–1990); and Bryton McClure (1990–1997).
Richard "Richie" Crawford was the only son of Robert and Rachel Crawford; Robert dies before Richie was born, which in part prompts Rachel's move into the Winslow household. There, Carl effectively fills the "father" role left vacant by Robert's death. Richie is almost a year old in the show's first season, and was age-advanced to 3-years-old in beginning with the season two premiere "Rachel's Place". He is a typical mischievous child, and even idolizes Steve; in fact, due to the nerd's constant visits and unrelenting crush on Laura, Richie calls him "Uncle Steve". In later episodes, Richie becomes the friend to a young orphan named 3J (whom the Winslows eventually adopt). His final appearance in the series was in the Christmas-themed episode "Deck the Malls" from the ninth season.
Jerry Jamal "3J" Jameson[edit]
Played by Orlando Brown (1996–1998).
3J – a nickname referring to his real name Jerry Jamal Jameson – was a young orphan whom Carl and Harriette adopted in the season eight episode "3J in the House". He was introduced as Urkel's "Little Brother" (in the season seven episode "My Big Brother," which pays homage to the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America program), and later becomes friends with Richie.[8] His street-wise, smart-mouthed demeanor is a cover for his loneliness and desire to have a stable, permanent family; his birth mother had given him up for adoption shortly after he was born, and frequently moved around. He was living with his aunt for a time until he was placed in a children's shelter, when she could no longer afford to keep him. The Winslows, seeing that he needed love, decide to adopt him. It is revealed in the episode "Whose Man is it Anyway?," that his mother is a waitress and Carl took him there (not realising the connection) for lunch and that one day she would like to reunite with him, but until then, Carl promises to take care of him and would remain keeping in contact with her.
Myra Boutros Boutros Monkhouse[edit]
Played by Michelle Thomas (1993–1998).
Myra Monkhouse was introduced midway through the fourth season in "A Thought in the Dark" as a possible girlfriend for Steve. She was the cousin of Laura's then-boyfriend, Ted Curran, who set up the date to get nerdy Steve out of his way. Myra was originally intended to be a one-time character (as Steve had been envisioned as when he was introduced in season one), but ultimately became a recurring character in the series. Although Ted was dropped from the show after the season four episode "Heart Strings" and ultimately never referred to again, Myra would become a regular character throughout the rest of the series starting in season six.
Myra is an attractive girl who is attracted to nerdy boys and polka music. She has a very perky and persistent personality. In the season five episode "A Matter of Principle," Myra transferred to Vanderbilt High School to be closer to whom she affectionately calls her "Stevie-kins". Steve is also attracted to Myra, but he never grew to love her over the course of the show. He only agrees to date her, on the condition that his friendship with Laura remain intact. This frequently causes Myra to feel in competition with Laura for Steve's affections; Laura would often try to correct the misunderstanding, but Myra would only become more convinced that Laura was after Steve. However, since Laura does not really show any attraction for Steve, Myra is willing to accept a truce, although the Laura-Myra relationship remains testy and adversarial, even in the most banal, non-Urkel situations.
After Steve decided to go steady with Myra in the season six episode "Paradise Bluff," Myra's character calmed and developed and she began to fit together more comfortably with the rest of the main characters. She became less persistent and less aggressive in clinging onto Steve, and Steve became more comfortable and welcoming with her. She became more friendly towards Laura, and formed a trio of sorts with her and Steve (with herself in between, of course). She is also grouped together with Laura and Maxine.
In the ninth season, Steve and Myra grow apart. In "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" from that season, she hated his makeover (which he did in that season's premiere episode "Out with the Old," in an attempt to become less grating to other people) and demanded him to change back to the nerd she loved so much. When Steve refused, Myra broke up with him right away. However, it only turned out to be a ploy and she only pretended to break up with him in order to get him to renounce his love for Laura and stay with her. That failed and Steve decides to start a real relationship with Laura. However, Myra never fully accepted the idea of their relationship being officially over. From here, Myra's character regressed and devolved to an antagonistic role, competing with Laura for Steve's affections and pursuing Steve relentlessly, similarly to her early appearance. When Steve asks Laura on a date and Laura accepts in "Crazy for You," she grows furious at her loss. Myra pairs up with Stefan Urquelle (Jaleel White) and both set out to win them back. Although both were successful in stopping it in the following episode "Crazier For You," Stefan soon felt guilty of trying to break Steve and Laura up and decides to leave them alone. However, Myra continues to try multiple times, including spying on Steve, until he learned the truth and ordered her to renounce her love for him. She refused and he had Myra arrested by the end of that episode when he exposed her for stalking him with illegal spy gear in her room to the police. At the time of the show's series finale "Lost in Space," Steve and Laura were officially engaged to be married. When Myra learned about their engagement, she was furious and continued to carry the torch for him as he drifted off into outer space. It is unknown what happened to her after that.
Waldo Geraldo Faldo[edit]
Played by Shawn Harrison (1990–1996; 1997).
For most of the time that Waldo was featured on the show, he was a friend of Eddie Winslow (the son of the show's main characters, Carl and Harriette Winslow) and the Winslows' quintessential nerdy neighbor, Steve Urkel. When he was introduced in the season two episode "Requiem for an Urkel," he started off as Willie Fuffner's friend, but though he generally had no ill intent and was not quite the bully that Willie was, he still nonetheless ignorantly followed Willie's lead. The two got arrested for bringing alcohol to a party in "Life of the Party," and Waldo presumably ended their friendship afterwards. His character was rewritten as a good guy and to serve as a friend of Eddie's. Like Steve Urkel (the show's most famous character), Waldo was an outlandish, almost surrealistic person. While Steve was the resident nerd, Waldo was the resident idiot. Waldo eventually reached a point in his lack of intelligence to where he even manages to annoy Steve. In the season three episode "Food, Lies and Videotape," Waldo was discovered to be an excellent chef. It is later revealed that Waldo did not learn how to walk, until he was 10. He dated Laura's best friend Maxine for many seasons (beginning with the season four episode "Pulling Teeth") until breaking up with her in season eight's "Love Triangle" after he left for culinary school. He is also mentioned to have a sister named Quesadilla. Waldo says when asked why his sister was given that name that it was because she was born at a Taco Bell, and his parents weighed over naming her either Quesadilla or Burrito Grande ("And that's a stupid name!" as he quipped regarding the latter). His extended family includes cousins such as American Gladiator Sabre (who, as a favor to settle a dispute between Carl and Steve, got them to compete against each other on the show), a short-statured but good-natured cousin named Babalabadingdong (whom he'd set Laura up with on a blind date), one of the members of the R&B group Portrait (who'd made Waldo promise to not reveal that they were related when the group was performing at a school dance), his aunt Bababababara-Ann (Babalabadingdong's mother), His aunt Velveeta and her husband, Jalapeño and another uncle whose head is in a jar in a science lab at Harvard University.
Waldo's most famous trait was his dimwittedness and his uncanny ability to misinterpret a simple question, comment, or directive. His catchphrases include: "cool", "no prob, Bob!", and "sup". Waldo has also shown that he has a sense of morality in three key episodes. In season three's "A Test of Friendship," he comes to Steve's defense by calling Eddie out for wanting to cheat on their chemistry test and tells him that he should have known the consequences. In season seven's "Talk's Cheap," Waldo revealed he was the one who called a daytime talk show that Eddie, Steve, Myra, Laura, Myrtle and Stefan appear as guests on in that episode and brought everyone back to their senses with Stefan's help. In "Tips For A Better Life," he refused to let Eddie move into his house after he hurt his feelings by insulting him while he was drunk. Waldo mentions that anyone who drinks and insults friends is no friend of his.
Recurring characters[edit]
|This section may be written from a fan's point of view, rather than a neutral point of view. (February 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
- Lt. Lieutenant Murtaugh (played by Barry Jenner; 1990–1992) – Lieutenant Murtaugh is Carl's unreliable and obnoxious second boss at the Chicago Police Department. He has a crush on an unwilling Rachel and tries to date her in season two's "Skip to My Lieu". Murtaugh is seemingly tolerant of Steve Urkel when they bond over root beer floats about their love lives at the end of that episode, but later impudently takes Steve's money over a poker game in season three's "A Pair of Ladies".
- Capt. Marion Savage (played by Sherman Hemsley; 1994–1995) – Introduced in season five's "Par For the Course," Captain Savage is Carl's loudmouthed third boss who is much more obnoxious than Murtaugh. As revealed in "Midterm Crisis," his fiancée Lois works as a stripper, although he is not too happy when Carl tells him about it as he already knew. Savage and Urkel are revealed to be members of the same cheese club.
- Commissioner Geiss (played by Dick O'Neill; 1996–1998) – Carl's final boss, introduced in season seven's "Chick-a-Boom". Although somewhat gruff, he was far more tolerable and showed more patience, respect and faith in Carl than his previous bosses. He eventually promotes Carl to captain in season nine's "Who's Afraid of the Big Black Book?," when his son expresses that Carl deserves the position more.
- Jolene Santiago (played by Bridgid Coulter; 1990–1991) – Eddie's first serious girlfriend, introduced in season two's "Rachel's Place".
- Greta McClure (played by Tammy Townsend; 1995–1998) – Eddie's second serious and final girlfriend in the series, who first appears in the season six episode "My Bodyguard", and another one of Laura's friends. She has difficulty coping with her ill-tempered, tyrannical and unreasonable father, who does not approve of her relationship with Eddie. She and Myrtle Urkel became enemies immediately upon their first meeting in season seven's "She's Back," and several episodes that follow centered on their battle to win Eddie's love. However, Greta was more successful in warding Myrtle off than Laura's would be boyfriends are with Urkel.
- Alex "Weasel" Park (played by Shavar Ross; 1992–1994) – Another friend of Eddie and Waldo from high school, who was also a friend of one of Laura's ex-boyfriends, Ted Curran. "Weasel" was an obnoxious and highly irresponsible jerk, having persuaded Eddie to break curfew and to gamble on football games (in "Money Out the Window") without having enough money to pay the lost bet. His favorite past time is mooning Meter Maids which Carl finds extremely offensive to Law Enforcement Officers in general.
- Penny Peyser (played by Ebonie Smith; 1989–1990) – Laura's best friend from season one, who like Rodney, had little patience for Urkel's antics.
- Maxine Johnson (played by Cherie Johnson; 1990–1998) – Laura's best friend and Waldo's girlfriend until Waldo's departure from the series. Although Maxine is the series' longest recurring secondary character, she was never officially part of its main cast. Maxine has been attracted to many handsome boys and dated several boyfriends throughout the course of the series, both seen and unseen. However, Maxine's judge of character regarding boys is arguably as inept as Laura's, as she has similarly dated many selfish and unfaithful boyfriends, and even shared some of the same antagonistic suitors as Laura. Eventually, she would begin dating the eccentric Waldo in season five and was surprised to establish a loving and enduring relationship with him. After Waldo's departure from the series, Maxine set her sights on other boys. Her feelings towards Urkel were much softer than that of Penny's and even Laura's own, mainly due to coming from unloved families.
- Ted Curran (played by Patrick J. Dancy; 1992–1993) – Laura's boyfriend and cousin of Myra Monkhouse. Although once antagonistic towards Urkel, and even to Laura, he was one of Laura's few consistent and level-headed boyfriends, even seeking forgiveness for betraying Laura's trust and reconciling with her. While his role in the series was brief, he played a critical role by being the one who introduced his cousin, Myra Monkhouse, to Urkel. While Myra became a permanent character soon afterwards, Ted was dropped after the season four episode "Heart Strings," after he and Laura argued and broke up offscreen.
- Curtis Williams (played by J. Lamont Pope; 1995–1997) – Another one of Laura's boyfriends and a race car enthusiast. Steve did not like his profession and was against Laura being a passenger in his race car in season seven's "Hot Rods to Heck". Despite his first appearance in that episode depicting him as a more antagonistic character, he and Laura restarted their relationship stronger after the cloned Stefan's stay in Paris following the season eight premiere "Paris Vacation". After Stefan returned in "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear," Curtis and Laura broke up and he started dating Maxine several episodes later in "Love Triangle".
- Cassie Lynn Nubbles (played by Kim Valentine; 1991–1992) – A stereotypical arrogant and popular blonde student and Laura's rich and spoiled rival who tried to get everything she wanted, including using underhanded tactics to win the student council president election at Vanderbilt High in season three's "Woman of the People". When Cassie attempted to use unflattering photos to blackmail Laura in that episode, Urkel enlisted Eddie to shoot photos of the nerd kissing her to blackmail her back, forcing her to compete for the student president election fairly, which ended in Laura's victory.
- Principal Shimata (played by Clyde Kusatsu; 1990–1994) – The principal of Vanderbilt High, Shimata is friendly towards Steve, but has been annoyed by him before. He and Steve often converse with each other in Japanese. It is inferred that he may have a crush on Ms. Steuben.
- Ms. Steuben (played by Susan Krebs; 1990–1992) – Steve and Laura's teacher at Vanderbilt High. Although she is a competent teacher to other students, she is very easily annoyed by Urkel and expresses many headaches around the nerd.
- Alfred Looney (played by Tom Poston; 1994–1995) – Mr. Looney is a janitor at Vanderbilt High School, who is introduced in season six's "The Looney Bin". He insists that his last name is supposed to be pronounced "Lou-né" (stating "It's French" each time it comes up). He gets along well with Steve Urkel, who is the only character who actually called him "Lou-né", or simply Alfred. He enjoys singing, dancing, and theater, and has sung and danced a few times with Urkel for fun. He almost got married in "Wedding Bell Blues," but after he was left at the altar by his bride-to-be, he nearly committed suicide by jumping off a bell tower. Steve and Carl ultimately stopped him, risking their lives while trying to get him off the bell tower in the process, before Mr. Looney reunited with another old female friend.
- Nick Neidermeyer (played by Ron Orbach; 1995–1997) – Harriette's former boss (and later, obnoxious neighbor in "Dream Date") who was an antagonist to both Carl and Harriette; he is introduced in season seven's "Bugged," when Harriette asks Carl to have him sit in with Carl's friends during a poker game. She immediately regretted it and told Nick off to fire her regardless, only for him to shock her by revealing that he was transferred to the automotive department. In season eight's "Revenge of the Nerd," Carl tries to become friends with him, after realizing how his feud with Nick has become a bad influence on 3J and Richie.
- Fletcher Thomas (played by Arnold Johnson; 1990–1995), Whitman Mayo (1995), and Edmund Cambridge in 1995) – Estelle "Mother" Winslow's lover, whom she marries in season five (and was introduced in the season two episode "Requiem for an Urkel"). Carl was initially cold to him and disliked his mother dating anyone due to his attachment to his late father, but eventually warmed up to him after learning to fix his behavior. Estelle and Fletcher get married in a wedding ceremony held at the Winslow's backyard in the episode "Mama's Wedding".
- Rodney Beckett (played by Randy Josselyn; 1989–1990) – Eddie's best friend in high school (introduced in season one's "Straight A's"), who is depicted as a practical joker. Like Penny, he had no patience for Urkel's antics and did not care for him at all. The character last appears in the season two episode "Fast Eddie Winslow".
- Vonda Mahoney (played by Danielle Nicolet; 1991–1992) – Eddie's short-term girlfriend in season three. After Steve tutored her in a class she was failing at in the episode "The Love God," she gratefully offered herself to him sexually to which Steve declines. Worried that she may sell herself just to have guys date her, Steve teaches Vonda the dangers of making herself easy, and she learns to accept and respect herself more. Though she felt better about it, Eddie wanted to beat up Steve for interfering.
- Gwendolyn (played by Naya Rivera; 1992–1993) – The daughter of the Winslows' next door neighbor, introduced in season four's "Just One Date," who has a crush on Richie.
- Little G (played by Gary LeRoi Gray; 1993–1995) – Richie's best friend.
- Vice Principal Mallet (played by Fred Willard; 1994–1996) – The vice principal of Vanderbilt High School. He does not like Steve because of his clumsiness and tried to keep him out of the school's public affairs.
- Zoohair Bhutto (played by Iqbal Theba; 1995–1997) – Carl's poker friend.
- Willie Fuffner (played by Larenz Tate; 1990–1991) – Vanderbilt High School's resident bully, to whom Waldo was formerly a friend and henchman. Though he likes bullying Steve, he was mainly antagonistic towards Laura for rejecting him for another boy and forced the guys to the dating sidelines. Steve stood up for her in the season two episode "Requiem for an Urkel," leading to a supervised boxing match between Steve and Willie. Willie and Waldo were also arrested in the episode "Life of the Party" later that season, for spiking Steve's punch with alcohol.
- Coach Westfield (played by Mike Genovese; 1991–1992) – The second coach at Vanderbilt High School.
- Johnny Gill (1992–1996) – Singer Johnny Gill appeared as himself in two episodes (season two's "I Should Have Done Something" and season three's "Love and Kisses"). Steve pays him a rare baseball card to serenade Laura in order to impress her in the latter episode.
- Science Teacher (played by Patrick Cronin; 1992–1994) – The science teacher at Vanderbilt High School.
- Stefan Urquelle (played by Jaleel White; 1993–1998) – Stefan Urquelle was Steve's suave and charming alter-ego, who was everything Laura desired in a boyfriend. First appearing in season five's "Dr. Urkel and Mr. Cool," Steve developed this personality as a way to get Laura to love him, but changed back at the end of the episode due to his self-centered personality. Steve soon improved his alter-ego's personality, and originally intended to become Stefan permanently, but found himself juggling between accepting his true self or receiving his long desired love from Laura. Though he learned to accept himself, he would still occasionally and temporarily turn into Stefan when needed. In the season seven episode "Send In the Clone," Steve created an identical clone of himself, whom he had enter into the transformation chamber to become a permanent Stefan.
- Myrtle Urkel (played by Jaleel White; 1990–1998) – Myrtle Urkel was introduced in season two's "Cousin Urkel" as Steve's rich Southern belle cousin whose love for Eddie mirrors that of Steve's for Laura. However, unlike Steve, she never respected Eddie's personal space and kept forcing herself on him much to his extreme horror. Myrtle and Greta McClure became quick adversaries the moment they met in the episode "She's Back" from season seven. In season 9's "Don't Make Me Over", Myrtle gets a makeover with Laura and Maxine's help. However upon realizing that Eddie loves Greta, she relinquishes her love for him and decides to set her sights on other men. When Eddie tries to get her to stay regardless as his life would be boring without her mixing it up by reaffirming her love for him, Myrtle refuses and leaves.

Our laboratory is interested in understanding cellular mechanisms that prevent accumulation and aggregation of misfolded proteins in the cell. A better understanding of these mechanisms is essential for developing effective treatments for numerous human disorders including diabetes, neurodegeneration, and aging. We are specifically interested in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) associated pathways that play a central role in preventing accumulation of misfolded proteins. The ER is the major site for synthesis, folding and maturation of secretory and membrane proteins, which account for nearly one third of the human proteome. Folding of these proteins is aided by chaperones and enzymes in the lumen of the ER. Despite this support, a significant proportion of newly synthesized proteins are misfolded in the ER due to genetic mutations, complexity of folding, and changes in the flux of proteins. Thus, the ER has evolved with two important pathways to deal with these misfolded proteins:
- The unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway senses the misfolded proteins in the ER and induces the genes responsible for increasing ER folding capacity.
- The ER associated degradation (ERAD) pathway routes the misfolded proteins from the ER to the cytosol for degradation by the proteasome.
We use a variety of techniques, including biochemical reconstitution, mammalian cell culture, molecular biology and cell imaging to understand molecular mechanisms involved in these pathways.

Dear Mr. hcrum87hc;
You have far too much time on your hands. You might SERIOUSLY consider taking up a hobby.
I did note with approbation at no time in the demonstration did you get any fingers or other body parts stuck in the moving parts of your firearm. Unless you edited it out. Which is also pretty smart, actually.
I will continue to operate in Condition Whole Magilla. In simple terms, I never leave the house without three bodyguards, two attorneys and a religious operator of six major faiths, including an agnostic.

If you ever find yourself talking to Mark Burnett about some of the TV shows he's produced in the US – Survivor, The Voice and The Celebrity Apprentice for example – you'd be advised not to call them reality shows.
"I hate the word 'reality'," Burnett said during his keynote speech at the MIPCOM conference in Cannes. "It's a journalistic made-up word. It's just non-fiction storytelling."
Burnett criticised suggestions that narrative television is on the decline thanks to the rise of non-fiction formats, but also hit out at producers and broadcasters who see the latter as a cheap alternative to drama.
"I don't want to make crappy shows, and make a lot of them and hope for the best," said Burnett. "If you're making, oh pick one, Survivor, we treated that as if we're making a $100m movie… It's narrative storytelling. It's emotional connection. It's not lazy producing."
Burnett also called for less backbiting in the television industry, saying he has cracked down on negativity within his firm One Three Media.
"We have in my company a 'No Asshole' policy," he said. "In this business, there's so much backtalking behind people's backs, and fakeness. A lot of people in this room should probably be ashamed of themselves. It's not the way I run my company."
One Three Media is moving into scripted drama. Burnett's next project is The Bible, a 10-hour scripted series due to air on US channel History in 2013. It will focus on stories from both the Old and New Testaments.
"I think it's the underpinning of the greatest storytelling in the history of the world," said Burnett.
"It's very likely to be the biggest thing I've worked on in my life, and seen by more people than all my other shows put together."

Your View: Letters to the editor (Feb. 17)
There are 26 comments on the Las Cruces Sun-News story from Feb 17, 2011, titled Your View: Letters to the editor (Feb. 17). In it, Las Cruces Sun-News reports that:The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska's Prudhoe Bay, and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil.

Coyotes come down into the city of Las Crucse because of the extrem cold tempetures and the lack of food. My neigbor had her small dog natched away by a coyote when she was standing just a few feet away. When coyote travel in a pack they are amazingly clever, and can be exstramly dangeras.

Re: Bakken oil reserves. Before you get too excited about this "vast" reserve, check it out on sources such as snopes.com and you will see the real amount of oil (actually oil shale) estimated to be located in what is called the Bakken Formation. Seems the recoverable amount, and not easily recoverable at that, amounts to just one year's amount imported to this country!
#4 Feb 17, 2011
Hey, Charlie Revie. Your letter is the quote from a mysterious Internet posting that has been going around on Conservative-owned computers. Just where do the statistics you report come from? There is a previously reported oil field in North and South Dakota....but the rest of you info????

Deer in some areas of our country are like vermin. They should be hunted all year and the meat given to food banks. They should not be a protected species with hunting only allowed at certain times.

Our energy dependence on foreign oil is a political decision.
We have enough oil, natural gas, and coal along with the alternatives nuclear, hydro, wind and solar to satisfy our energy needs.
Dependency is a political condition.
#7 Feb 17, 2011
Mr. Revie, almost nothing in your letter is either true or sensible.
The existence of the Bakken oil field has been known for a long time. Estimates of its oil contents vary greatly, but none that I know of goes as high as 2 trillion barrels. The conventional high-end estimates run to about one-third that amount, or 650 billion barrels. Even so, that oil is not primary oil in pools easily tapped or in rocks containing the oil under high-pressure for easy extraction. Conventional technology can access about 1% of the entire field, or about 8 months worth of oil at current rates of national consumption. Most of it is dispersed in oil shales which require advanced technologies and enormous engineering work to extract. Because the costs have been prohibative, oil companies have not be developing this field.
Environmentalists, your bug-a-boo, have nothing to do with it. But you jab at them makes it clear that you do not understand not only the geology, the technology, or the economics of petroleum production, but also the effects of such oil extraction from the Bakken field. Extraction would require enormous amounts of water, something in short supply in the Montana-North Dakota board area, where this field is located (as well, by the way, elsewhere in the Rocky Mountains, a range which holds huge amounts of oil in oil shales). The amount of water needed for oil extraction would devastate agriculture and ranching in the area;, and the wastewater run-off would pollute all watercourses, with irreparable downstream damage to agriculture and ranching, domestic and commercial water supplies, sportfishing, riverboating, and tourism. If environmentalists point out the consequences which you either do not know or choose to ignore, they are doing a public service.
#8 Feb 17, 2011
Wow - an internet posting which targets only "conservative-owned" computers. I wonder how these postings can tell the difference between computers owned by conservatives and those owned by non-conservatives.

The Bakken oil fields are a joke, and Mr. Revie fell for it -hook line and sinker. Read SNOPES:

You forget all the oil recently discovered in Israel! Moron!
#13 Feb 17, 2011
Mr. Brewer has set the record straight as to why it's IMPERATIVE that coyotes should not be a protected species in NM and that is to allow indiscriminate, year round trapping on public lands used by recreationers, their families and pets to protect deer populations for hunters. It's also why we cannot have provisions to curtail extreme and prolonged suffering to coyotes left in traps longer than the 24 hr trap check time in place for protected species.

When the FACTS are too damn uncomfortable, divert attention by attacking the source!
From the NYT: DEBUNKERS OF FICTIONS SIFT THE NET Less than a year later, Snopes became the familys full-time job.

Arent they [Snopes] originally funded with Soros money? Nope -- it started in 1996 as a list of urban myths and legends by amateur folklorists David and Barbara Mikkelson and evolved into fact-checking .Further, the idea that the Mikkelsons are driven by liberal ideology has been debunked by FactCheck.org , which noted that Barbara Mikkelson is a Canadian citizen, while David Mikkelson is a political independent who was previously a registered Republican and has no public record of having made political donations. http://mediamatters.org/blog/201006010050

Summary of the eRumor: An eRumor about Snopes.com accusing them being owned by a flaming liberal and this man is in the tank for Obama. THE TRUTH: In October, 2008, stories began circulating via forwarded emails that the popular urban legends site Snopes.com was owned by liberals and was "in the tank" for presidential candidate Barack Obama.
As with many forwarded emails, the criticism did not include any example of what the writer of the email claimed was the difference between what Snopes.com reported and what Barack Obama had actually said.
Snopes.com is an excellent site that has become an authoritative source for information about urban legends and forwarded emails. We regard David and Barbara Mikkelson, the founders and operators of Snopes.com , as colleagues and professional researchers who have earned a good reputation for what they do. We can give a unique perspective on this story because we do the same kind of work as Snopes.com and have sometimes been the target of similar criticism .. One of the versions of the eRumor mentions TruthOrFiction.com and recommends our site. We appreciate that, but we want to say for the record that we've had nothing to do with this eRumor about Snopes.com and we condemn it .."

" Genre: Sci-Fi / Fantasy / Author: Christine Bell / Kindle Edition / Book is published 2011-04-25 by Carina Press "
The twisted tale of Stormy Gale by Christine Bell
--The synopsis--
I'm a time pirate-born in 1810, now a 21st-century woman. I travel through time trying to right wrongs without disrupting the fragile balance between what is and what can never be.
That's why it's vital that I go to 1836 and find the man who conned my brother out of his Time Travel Mechanism as quickly as possible. If the technology falls into the wrong hands, it could change the world as we know it. The notorious Duke of Leister definitely qualifies as the wrong hands. An amateur scientist of the slightly mad variety, he's bound to figure out how to use the TTM sooner rather than later.
I knew this wouldn't be easy. But I wasn't counting on him being as sexy as hell. Or winding up chained to his bed...
--My review--
I don't often read Novella's - instead I typically prefer reading full length novels, but when this one crossed my path I was more than just a bit intrigued. Right from the beginning the cover and title really caught my attention. As well as the idea of a time travelling pirate, which unfortunately wasn't really something that was covered in all that much detail throughout the book. Instead the short novella really focuses on the meeting of the main characters of Stormy (our time pirate) and Devlin (the notorious Duke of Leister - who may possess technology that could ruin the future). There was a lot of chemistry between the two of them and their story was certainly interesting, but I thought that everything was just a bit hurried along. However, that could largely be due to the word constraints of a novella.
One of my favourite parts of this book was the reasons behind how the main characters of Stormy and her brother Bacon, got their names. They were adopted by the time pirate Gilly and transported from the early 1800's to the twentieth century, and rescued from a childhood and life that would have been unlikely to be a happy one. After Stormy watched 'The Wizard of Oz' she picked the name Dorothy Gale and then was later nicknamed Stormy for the colour of her eyes. Bacon's story had me chuckling to myself, he picked it when he was only 6 years old...
"Gilly, had gotten down on one knee and said "well, little master, what do you think? You can be called anything, whatever pleases you the most." At this direction, Bacon chose the things that made him happiest and there you have it: Bacon Frogs."
Right from the beginning of the story I liked Stormy - or Dorothy Gale. However, the relationship with Devlin, seemed to happen too quickly and didn't really have me feeling invested about the outcome. Although their relationship was a little bit steamy at times, this was more of a romance novella than anything else and there were some touching scenes between the pair of them.
This was an enjoyable story, the writing was entertaining and it flowed well at a nice pace. For an afternoon's worth of light reading then this made for a fun couple of hours, however, I really felt like there ought to be more. More background to the characters, more set up of the story, more time spent explaining and building the world. However, that doesn't mean that the author didn't work well under the limited number of words.
I would recommend this, especially if you are after a quick, enjoyable story. Just don't expect anything to in depth, I would have loved to have read more of this story. In fact I would be quite keen to find out whether Christine Bell has written any full length novels or possibly other novellas around the same characters.
GOOD - two out of five stars
Genre - Adult, steampunk romance

Chlorine is a chemical that prevents bacterial growth in stationary water. It's used to sanitize sewage and industrial waste. It's also an active ingredient in several cleaning products.
Chlorine poisoning can occur when you swallow or inhale chlorine. Chlorine reacts with water — including the water in your digestive tract — to form hydrochloric acid and hydrochlorous acid. Both of these substances are extremely poisonous to humans.
You may be most familiar with chlorine that's used in pools. However, most incidents of chlorine poisoning result from ingesting household cleaners, not pool water. A few common household products and substances containing chlorine include:
- chlorine tablets used in swimming pools
- swimming pool water
- mild household cleaners
- bleach products
The information in this article is not intended to treat poison exposure. If exposure occurs, call 911 or the National Capital Poison Center (NCPC) at 1-800-222-1222.
Symptoms of Chlorine Poisoning
Chlorine poisoning can cause symptoms throughout your body. Respiratory symptoms include difficulty breathing and fluid in the lungs. Digestive system symptoms include:
- burning in the mouth
- swelling of the throat
- throat pain
- stomach pain
- vomiting
- blood in the stools
Chlorine exposure can damage your circulatory system. Symptoms of this problem can include:
- changes in the pH balance of your blood
- low blood pressure
- serious injury to the eyes, including burning and irritation (In the worst case, temporary vision loss can occur.)
- skin damage, potentially resulting in tissue damage, burns, and irritation
Diagnosing Chlorine Poisoning
Chlorine poisoning is common, so diagnosing it usually isn't difficult. In some cases, children may consume cleaning products that contain chlorine. This may be more difficult to diagnose since children sometimes can't tell you what they're feeling. Take children who show signs of chlorine poisoning to a hospital or emergency room immediately.
Treating Chlorine Poisoning
Seek medical assistance immediately if you or your child comes into contact with chlorine. Don't try to induce vomiting unless instructed by poison control or a medical professional.
If you get chlorine on your skin or in your eyes, flush the area with running water for at least 15 minutes.
If you accidentally swallow chlorine, drink milk or water immediately, unless you experience vomiting or convulsions.
If you inhale chlorine, seek fresh air as soon as possible. Going to the highest possible ground is helpful because chlorine is heavier than air.
Medical professionals will want to know the following information to treat your chlorine poisoning more effectively:
- age
- weight
- clinical condition
- product consumed
- amount consumed
- length of exposure
Once you've been admitted to the emergency room, a healthcare provider will measure and monitor your vital signs. This includes your pulse, temperature, blood pressure, and breathing rate. Doctors may also give you one or more of the following to help ease symptoms and rid your body of the chlorine:
- activated charcoal
- medications
- intravenous fluids
- oxygen
You might require a breathing tube if you have trouble breathing. Doctors might use a special tool to view your throat and determine if you have serious burns in your airways or lungs. A tube may need to be inserted into your stomach to empty its contents.
Medical staff may need to wash affected skin for several hours. Surgical removal of affected skin may be necessary if it's severely damaged.
Outlook for Recovery from Chlorine Poisoning
Chlorine poisoning can have serious effects on the body. The outlook for recovery depends on the amount of chlorine swallowed or inhaled and how quickly treatment is obtained. You have a better chance for full recovery if you receive medical help promptly.
Preventing Chlorine Poisoning
Follow proper methods for handling chlorine. Store products that contain chlorine in locked closets or cabinets so that children can't access them.
Poison Control
The NCPC can provide additional information and recommendations about chlorine poisoning. Call 1-800-222-1222 at any time to reach NCPC. The service is private and free. The professionals at NCPC are happy to answer questions on chlorine poisoning and poison prevention.

Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) caught and killed 66 animals on North Uist over the summer as part of efforts to protect ground-nesting birds.
It was criticised for its policy by animal welfare groups, who rescued 140 hedgehogs to be transferred to the mainland.
Campaigner Ross Minett, of Advocates for Animals, said he was "absolutely astonished" by the new survey's findings.
SNH spokesman George Anderson admitted he was "slightly surprised".
The study on public attitudes to wildlife management was carried out by the Scottish Economic Policy Network, based in Scotland's 12 universities.
Garden pests
It also suggested that many people would be willing to pay for reintroducing the beaver to Scotland and saving the capercaillie.
SNH sparked controversy when it announced its plans to cull up hedgehogs in the Western Isles.
The hedgehog population on the Western Isles has grown to 5,000 since a handful were introduced 30 years ago to keep down garden pests.
Scientific evidence suggested that the animals pose a threat to ground-nesting birds by eating their eggs.
Only 80 people were questioned but researchers said it was an in-depth exercise with a good cross-section of people.
Dr Douglas McMillan, who is based at Aberdeen University, said people were pragmatic about the need for a cull.
"They realised that it has to be done, that it is being done for a good cause.
"If it is done properly, humanely and with good scientific reasoning then they feel that these exercises are well worth doing," he said.
"We never thought that. We did not take the decision for popularity reasons, we took the decision because it was right."
However, Mr Minett said: "These findings seem to go against everything that we would expect and everything that we experienced, the tremendous public support that we found for our proposals to relocate the hedgehogs back on the mainland."
He thought that a lot of the public perception had been "biased" by claims that it would be cruel to move the animals.
The majority of those questioned in the survey also said that they wanted to see the return of the beaver.
On average, each household was prepared to pay £24 a year for the next decade to fund such a project.
Saving the capercaillie proved the most popular conservation project.

Perhaps. But the example in the PDF file doesn't demonstrate a
bug with ContourPlot. The reason you get no curve in the second
plot is there are no solutions to
x^2/9 + y^2/16 == 25 in the region defined by -6 <= x <= 6 and
-6 <= y <= 6
Try doing:
sol = x^2/9 + y^2/16 - 25;
ContourPlot[sol == 0, {x, -20, 20}, {y, -20, 20}]
and you will see the curve lies outside the plot region you specified

I view painted interior parts as one of the most horrible hack mods you can do to an interior. It makes the car look tacky and cheesy.
not something i would do, but looks like you did a really good job on it
while you're at it you shoulda painted the plastic piece that goes around the head unit. my only problem with it is that the interior lights are green and it contrasts with the red but that could be fixed and would look sick
