"Its also the first time he actually managed to beat an opponent on screen." I think this is incorrect, he knocked out Naruto in episode 22 and was close to defeating Sasuke until Guy stopped him from using the lotus. Although i'm not 100% sure if that could be called defeating them as they both recovered pretty quickly. (i didn't edit the page as i'm no good at explaining things clearly, plus i wasn't sure if it counts as a victory.)
Whats his Family Name?
Is it Rock or Lee... I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. SilverSword 02:41, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
- He has none. Rock Lee is his name. Just cause we have full names in real life doesn't mean that is necessarily applied in shows. Rock Lee is to Given Name/Last Name as "Pain" is. "Pain", "Might Guy", "Rock Lee", "Killer Bee", and so on... All of them are just single names that Kishimoto took from English, and kanified. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Nov 30, 2008 @ 03:41 (UTC)
- So then I could take either one I wanted to. Thank you very much for the information. Sorry if I'm being Bothersome with my Fanboy Questions. It's funny that the people that I feel embarrassed about bringing up my Fanfiction with are the people trying to write an encyclopedia all about Naruto. --SilverSword
- I'm pretty sure his family name is "Rock", since everybody calls him "Lee" and not "Rock".
- Even in the english version [anime], hes stated as Rock Lee. America would have changed it to Lee Rock. Its just Rock lee not a family name. --Hamachi1993 (talk) 03:28, 13 July 2009 (UTC)Hamachi1993

Ninjutsu? Genjutsu?
Just wondering... did Masashi ever state why lee cant do ninjutusu and genjutsu? or is he just plain unable to do it? I mean, I cant figure it out! He obviously has chakra or ar least can access it, so why can he do ninjutsu and genjutsu? any one got an answer? AMTNinja 21:43, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
- During Lee's fight against Gaara in the second part of the chunin exam, Guy said that Lee was unabel to use Ninjutsu and Genjutsu. Why is unknown as far as I know. Jacce 21:46, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
ok thanks! its really weird tho huh? I wonder why its never explained... AMTNinja 21:49, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think it's because he never had any experence with it. That's just what I think. Because he does have chakra (hence the ability to open the 8 gates) but he can't preform any jutsu. Hope I helped! User:anonymous 13:06, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
It sais Lee has bearly any talent for it so they skipped to Taijutsu. He could do it with enough hard work but they just went to Taijutsu.
Actually, it was stated that he was born with a damaged or underdeveloped chakra network, which is why he can't mold chakra for ninjutsu or genjutsu. —This unsigned comment was made by 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs) .
Source or it didn't happen. I only remember them saying Lee simply can't mould chakra. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:01, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
- I don't recall any truly substansiated reason given for Lee's lack of skill in nin- and genjutsu. the closest thing is Guy's speech in chapter 82:
- "Lee has nearly no skill when it comes to nin- and genjutsu... When I first met Lee, he had absolutely no feeling [for them]... Nor any talent whatsoever." (「リーにはほとんど忍術・幻術の技術が無い…。オレが初めてリーと会った頃は完璧ノーセンス…何の才能もなかった。」"Rī niwa hotondo ninjutsu/genjutsu no sukiru ga nai... Ore ga hajimete Rī to atta koro wa kanpeki nōsensu... nan no sainō mo nakatta.")
- That's also basically the explanation the First Databook gives. Lee simply has no talent for nin- and genjutsu. No medical reasons, nothing. Simply no talent. Oh, and he can mould chakra. He can walk on water, after all. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 01:26, June 10, 2011 (UTC)
Lee can use Genjutsu now!
ATTENTION! Aparently Lee can now use Genjutsu (albeit horibly). His genjutsu is 1 and his Ninjutsu is still 0. (Check Databook 3).
- This is most likely explained in that he can break genjutsu through causing himself physical pain.
¥Super Novice ↔ Talk 2 Me ¥02:06, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
Lee has chakra control?
Apparently he is able to walk on water now in ep. 104. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 02:02, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
- Lee's condition has never been expanded upon besides saying he can't use Nin/Genjutsu so it is possible he can mold chakra for simple exercises like walking up trees, walk on water and using chakra to strength his body. His limitation most likely when he tries to use the larger amounts needed for Gen/Ninjutsu.
¥Super Novice ↔ Talk 2 Me ¥02:06, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
- Lee doesn't have an issue with chakra molding. He's just extremely bad at learning Ninjutsu. It was never stated he had any issue molding chakra in any way, in fact if he did have that issue he wouldn't be able to use a number of the Taijutsu he uses. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Apr 11, 2009 @ 06:16 (UTC)
Hurricane Blade?
Um...since when does Lee use this technique? I've seen most of the Naruto episodes, but i've never seen him use this one. Plus, on the description of the Jutsu, it says that the Naruto episode is unknown, so should this be removed or should we let it stay? Maybe if we can find what episode it was in it can stay, but if we can't, should we delete it. Byakugan413 01:51, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
- It might not even appear in the anime. When I stumbled upon that article I assumed that it was from the anime since it doesn't sound video game-ish enough. If you've never seen it, that might mean it is from a video game. ~SnapperTo 03:47, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
- It also could be that it is in manga also :|

Um...okay, i was going over Lee's techniques and i read over the Leaf Great Whirlwind and then Leaf Whirlwind and i'm confused. I thought the leaf whirlwind was when he used one of his legs and struck the oppoent's legs, tripping them up. He used it when he first met Team Kakashi during the chunin exams against Naruto. I'm very confused because if you read Leaf Whirlwind its called Leaf Hurricane in the english t.v. and on the other technique its also called leaf hurricane. I also thought that the leaf hurricane was called Konoha Senpu, not Konoha Daisenpu. Either i'm not understanding, or somebody has there information wrong, so can someone help me out? Byakugan413 19:22, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
- I've spent the last hour trying to figure this out. Someone put the wrong descriptions with the wrong jutsu names. This is what I get for not paying more attention to descriptions when I'm sourcing jutsu stats. Hopefully I've corrected everything. I'd suggest forgetting whatever you read earlier and start over. ~SnapperTo 04:31, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Chakra manipulation
"Lee cannot properly manipulate his chakra, leaving him unable to use ninjutsu or genjutsu."
Where does this come from? As far as I know, the only reason given for his lack of nin- and genjutsu abilities was that he has zero talent for them. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 21:49, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
- I think the anime vastly elaborates on why he doesn't use nin/genjutsu. That, or someone made it up several years ago and the idea has since spread like wildfire. My money's on the anime. ~SnapperTo 03:23, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
- I remember a anime flashback saying Lee couldn't mold chakra. When and where was this, I have no idea I can't remember but I believe it was around the time he fought Gaara.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 03:30, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
Dynamic Entry
In what chapter does Lee use Dynamic Entry? 184.108.40.206 (talk) 02:17, November 11, 2009 (UTC)
I'm not sure, but I hear him use it alot in the anime. Heck, even Tenten used the technique, then again, she used it on a filler arc. (talk) 10:52, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
Mythological inspiration for Lee
Is the Rock Lee page locked for all of you? I can't edit it. Anyway, I don't know if this would technically be worthy of the information page for him as it's only a supposition, anyway.
There is apparently a creature in both Japanese and Chinese folklore called "shōjō" (in Japanese) and "sheng sheng" or "xing xing" (in Chinese). The Chinese names can apparently be translated to something like "live lively" (if 'lively' is not a good word to describe Lee, I don't know what is).
In Chinese folklore, this beast was described as a "green animal with a human face" with a Chinese character that is used both to mean green and colors "that in English would mean blue." This would explain Lee's green attire (besides emulating Guy) and would also help explain why he is reffered to as "Konoha no Utsujushiki Aoi Yajū." The information page translates it as "Konoha's Beautiful Green Wild Beast" and I don't know enough Japanese to verify the rest of the translation, but I know enough to definitively say that aoi does not mean green, it means blue.
Let's see, there is also Lee's Drunken Fist and ridiculously low tolerance for alcohol. The shōjō beast is often associated with sake due to various tales involving the drink and the word can also be used to describe a heavy-drinker. Not to mention, in Japanese folklore, the beast is described as hairy and red-faced. Rock Lee's face does turn red when he opens the Gates. And did we forget about his bushy brows?
This possible connection between the two was something I'm sure I found in a forum, although I can't recall where and I have been unable to find it again (hard as I might try). The information I used was in the "Shōjō" article on Wikipedia, so there's mah sauce.—This unsigned comment was made by Alichan459 (talk • contribs) .
- The page was locked for unregistered and new contributers due to a lot of vandalism. Jacce | Talk 17:09, January 16, 2010 (UTC)
- First of all, aoi can refer to any colour between sky blue and grass green. It does not mean blue alone, nor does it not mean green.
- That said, although there seem to be similarities, the Japanese sources I found speak slightly differently about the shōjō. I couldn't find any reference of it being called aoi; it is usually described as being red. Not unusual, considering the fact that {{translation}|shōjō|猩々}} is the Japanese word for the orang-utan.
- Also, the shōjō is described as a heavy drinker, the exact opposite of Rock Lee, and the way the shōjō is depicted in Nō and other Japanese art forms is quite unlike how Lee looks. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 23:23, January 16, 2010 (UTC)
- So, suppose one was writing a fanfiction, would one put Konoha's beautiful green beast, or beautiful blue beast? What would make the writer seem less like an idiot?

Is this spinoff canonical to the main series? Exipotic (talk) 19:57, December 31, 2010 (UTC)
What should we do about the omake (series?) that has come out featuring Lee and the rest of Team Guy? It's not by Kishimoto and I'm not sure what magazine it originally appeared in. If it's some WSJ affiliate and/or the author is/was a Kishimoto assistant, it might be worth covering somewhere. ~SnapperTo 03:57, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
- It doesn't seem to be an omake, but a spin-off and I do think it's worth mentioning. We should treat it as separate from the normal manga, though. Perhaps even as non-canon, like the films and games. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 15:55, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
I agree. So...Are we going to do this or not?--NinjaSheik 17:55, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think we should. I don't think the person is even affiliated with Kishimoto-sensei adding stuff like that would only lead to confusion in Lee's article. We could mention that he has a spin-off in his trivia section though--Cerez365 (talk) 18:24, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
- He is/was his assistant and has official permission to create a spin-off series. He's closer affiliated with Kishimoto-sensei than the creators of the games or films, or even the anime for that matter. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 20:56, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
Which means it's okay do make a page for it. Even if it wasn't made directly made by Kishimoto-sama, it still uses his Naruto characters. Kishimoto-sama was like a co-author to this spin-off, correct?--NinjaSheik 20:58, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

- If it's made by Kishimoto or not, it is still part of the Naruto Universe and thus will be mentioned here. Right now, I say it gets it's own little section, named whatever the hell the spin off is called. If it gets to long, annex it off to it's own subpage.--TheUltimate3 ~The User King ~ 21:23, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

- Naruto couldn't use the Clone Technique and Iruka graduated him from the use of the Shadow Clone Technique. It's more than likely that he passed on some other merit as Naruto did. One moreeee thing. Genjutsu isn't taught at the Academy, just the principles. Rock Lee more than likely had good scores in everything else.--Cerez365™ 19:23, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

No Spin-Off Pages?
Shouldn't there be pages for Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth and Naruto SD: Rock Lee and His Friends? I know they're not canon, but their creator was given permission by Masashi Kishimoto to produce a spin-off series. In order to avoid confusion with the canon characters, you could either make separate pages like "Rock Lee" and "Rock Lee (Spin-off)". or if you don't want to make separate pages, they could have sections at the bottom of the page.

The Drunken gods are eight particular stances and to degrees style of the Drunken Fist, each with an intended purpose. It's basically a break down of the learning in the Drunken fist, though Yamato there is right, several of Lee's moves and stances are right out of the movie.

About his abilities
I know this issue has been touched upon before but I feel it needs to be dealt with. Would it be appropriate to add a small line of info about Lee's ability to walk on walls and water. Just something along the lines of "although Lee has no talent with ninjutsu, he is at least proficient enough to channel his chakra for simple techniques such as walking on water". It's one of those things that's often brought up as a "but how can he" type thing so I feel it's worth at least an acknowledgement in the article.--Soul reaper (talk) 13:28, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

don't exercise. I also don't like fresh fruits and vegetables."
She also said she really enjoys eating sweets. "I guess the only healthy thing I ever did was I never smoked."
Ruth is one of six siblings that are all over 80 years old in her family She also has two more siblings that are 77 and 68.
Arnold and Millie Lauer welcomed their seventh child, Irene (Dave)

expected that, 80 years later, eight of their children would still be
The couple lived in Ottoville. Arnold owned a furniture
store and was the director of a funeral home, Lauer Funeral Home. He

married to Earl Lauer.
Bill (Corinne) Lauer, 91, lives in Dayton.
He still has many admiring the intricate details of his carpentry work
or solving the countless wood puzzles he constructed.

Eating a ripe, juicy peach is one of summer's best gifts. (Thanks, summer!) But — and I hate to be the one to bring this up — these little balls of edible sunshine aren't going to be around forever. Savor delicious summer peaches on a dreary winter day (or next week, at least) by making this booze-and-spice-spiked peach butter. Here's how you do it.
Spiced Bourbon Peach Butter
Inspired by the Deep South and the Far East, this peach butter gets some personality from bourbon and garam masala. The bourbon brings depth, while the garam masala — an Indian spice blend that's usually made up of some mix of cloves, cinnamon, cumin, cardamom, coriander and nutmeg — leaves a subtly spicy note on your tongue with each bite.
Makes about 1 pint
Adapted from Food.com
5 peaches
1/4 cup bourbon
1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoon water
1-inch knob fresh ginger
1 teaspoon garam masala (use cinnamon instead for a more traditional peach butter)
Pinch salt
Lemon juice, optional
Equipment: Food processor or blender
Prepping the Peaches
First, ready the peaches! Bring a large pot of water to a simmer. Make a slit along the bottom of each peach and dip in the hot water for about 30 seconds, or just long enough to loosen the skins. Remove from the water with a slotted spoon, then drain and rinse with cold water until cool enough to handle. Peel back the skins (they should come off easily), cut in half and remove the pits. Now chop into medium-sized chunks. Congrats — your peaches are prepared to become butter.
Making the Peach Butter
Preheat the oven (I used a toaster oven to keep the house cool) to 250 degrees F. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine a one-inch piece of peeled fresh ginger, the garam masala, the peaches, the water and a pinch of salt.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.Peach butter on the stovetop.
Once your butter cooks on the stove top (does your house smell amazing yet? It should.), remove the ginger from the pan and discard. Then, break out your food processor and add the peach mixture, your favorite bourbon and the dark brown sugar and whiz until smooth. Now taste it — if you think it needs a little more tartness, add a squeeze of lemon. If you'd like it sweeter, add a bit more brown sugar. I won't tell if you decide to take a swig of bourbon at this point.The pureed peach butter, just before a long sauna in the oven at 250 degrees.
Pour the puree into a baking dish (one that's wider than it is deep works best) and cook in a 250-degree oven for about two and half hours, or until thick. The consistency should be such that it will cling to a spoon versus sliding off.Finished peach butter on toast. Mmmmm…
Save It for Winter
To enjoy this peach butter year-round, ladle it into hot, sterilized jars. Make sure to clean the rims and fit with sterilized lids and lid rings. Using a canning jar lifter, place the jars into a pot filled with enough hot water to cover them completely. Bring the water to a boil, then boil 20 minutes. Note: To make enough for eight half-pint jars, quadruple the recipe above.
Learn more about the canning process and canning safety.
How to Use Your Peach Butter
This peach butter is delicious atop all the usual suspects — toast, biscuits, scones, croissants — but don't stop there. Why not use your peach butter for:
- A sauce for grilled chicken, pork or lamb chops
- A peanut butter sandwich
- A yogurt or ice cream topping (alongside some toasted almonds or walnuts)
- The filling for a rustic galette
- An amazing filling for homemade toaster pastries
- A stuffing for crepes or French toast, or a pancake topping
- A substitute for some of the butter or oil when baking quick breads or cakes

ACCRINGTON Stanley boss James Beattie felt his side were unlucky not to get something from the 2-1 defeat at Burton Albion on Saturday.
The result leaves the Reds one place and four points clear of the bottom two heading into the final 13 games of the season.
But Beattie believes his side still have a belief that they are better than their league position suggests.
He said: "I think the lads have a certain belief that they've been building over the last few weeks.
"I thought we rode our luck a little early on in the game thanks to Marcus Bettinelli, who is an excellent keeper and made a couple of great saves. We didn't switch on for the first 10 minutes but then we got into our stride."
Dean Winnard levelled for the Reds after former Stanley striker Billy Kee put the hosts in front only for Kee to net the winner with a controversial penalty.
Beattie added: "It was a great delivery from Lee Molyneux and I'm sure Deano was ecstatic to get his head on it and open his account for the season.
"Goals breed confidence and when Burton went 2-1 up they changed their formation.
"They were desperate to get back on the winning trail again and were leaving three players up which left them susceptible on the break.
"We saw that so we changed our formation and put three forwards on to try and rescue something from the game."

Study: Greenhouse Gas Emissions Have Caused Irreversible Effects on Sea-Level Rise

(Source: climatepedia.org)
Emissions up until this point have ensured an irreversible sea-level rise of 1.1 meters by the year 3000
A new study has found that it's too late to reverse the
effects that greenhouse gas emissions will have
on sea levels over the next thousand years -- but we could lessen the impact of these effects if proper changes are made.
According to research by scientists at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Manchester Metropolitan University and the Universit
é catholique de Louvain, greenhouse gas emissions produced up to this point has ensured an irreversible sea-level rise of 1.1 meters by the year 3000. This number could increase, they warn, if no action is taken to reduce these levels -- and the effects could extend into thousands of years into the future.
The research team came to this conclusion by modeling sea-level changes over thousands of years while including all of our planet's ice sheets and warming of the oceans into its projections. This includes glaciers, ice caps and the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. The team said this has never been done before.
Using a climate modeling system called LOVECLIM, the team analyzed several scenarios over the next thousand years. It found that there will be a sea-level rise of at least 1.1 meters by the year 3000, but if other certain emissions scenarios were followed, it could increase to 2.1, 4.1 or even 6.8 meters.
The study also found that the Greenland ice sheet was the cause of over half of the sea-level rises while thermal expansion of the ocean came in second place and glaciers/ice came in third.
"Ice sheets are very slow components in the climate system; they respond on time scales of thousands of years," said Professor Philippe Huybrechts, co-author of the study. "Together with the
long lifetime of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
, this inertia is the real poison on the climate system; anything we do now that changes the forcing in the climate system will necessarily have long consequences for the ice sheets and sea level.
"Ultimately, the current polar ice sheets store about 65 metres of equivalent sea level and if climatic warming will be severe and long-lasting, all ice will eventually melt. Mankind should limit the concentration of greenhouse gases at the lowest possible level as soon as possible. The only realistic option is a drastic reduction of the emissions. The lower the ultimate warming will be, the less severe the ultimate consequences will be."

Oh, I never meant to imply that many, or any, potters during the 60's would throw in a dress! I thought though, that the style of dress and her hair, etc., was sort of 60's looking. And to me, the dress was a give-away that maybe she wasn't a real potter, but just posing. I also noticed none of the other people in the photo were using this gizmo! As for people like Bernard Leach, I have no doubt there have been some potters who dressed quite well while throwing. I know a woman who would wear long sleeves buttoned down while teaching a throwing class and manage to get nothing on them! That just isn't me, or most of us, I'd imagine!
I'm straight out of the sixties and never threw in a dress.
Two very famous and much-loved potters, Nan and Jim McKinnell, were always well-dressed for the pottery classes they taught. Nan used silk handkerchiefs to wipe the clay off her fingers and Jim always wore a bow tie.
My Ceramics instructor in college, wore nice shoes, khaki pants, and a button up or polo shirt every day. He threw so fast, and with a minimal amount of water, he never got anything on him. Even with all the demos, and his own bit of work, that he would do, during the class, I never saw that he got anything on him, clay, glaze, etc.
In regards to the posted picture, that looks like something you'd use, if the clay body contained ground uranium......Hey, glow in the dark pots!!!

The New York Mets today announced that catcher Rod Barajas was assigned on a waiver claim to the Los Angeles Dodgers and outfielder Jesus Feliciano was recalled from Buffalo (AAA) of the International League. Feliciano will wear uniform #27 and will be available for today's game at Pittsburgh.
Feliciano, 31, is hitting .292 (19-65) with eight runs scored, four doubles, one triple and two RBI in 27 games with the Mets this season. The 5-10, 190-pounder had his contract selected from Buffalo on June 8 and was optioned to the Bisons on July 11. He was recalled on July 30 before he was optioned back on Aug. 7.
The Bayamon, Puerto Rican native played in 1,271 minor league games and 22 Mexican League contests before making his major league debut earlier this year on June 10 vs. San Diego.
Feliciano hit .342 (100-292) with 53 runs, 17 doubles, one triple, one home run and 26 RBI in 78 games with Buffalo. His .342 batting average would be leading the International League if he had enough plate appearances to qualify for the title.
Barajas, 34, hit .225 (56-245) with 30 runs, 11 doubles, 12 home runs and 34 RBI in 74 games with New York this year. Barajas was activated from the 15-Day Disabled List on August 19. He was placed on the DL on July 26 with a strain of his left oblique.
It's sad to see Barajas go as he is such a great clubhouse presence and provided the Mets a spark at the beginning of the season. He led the club with home runs in the first third of the season, but his production really tailed off, especially after a stint on the disabled list.
His release means Josh Thole will continue to get the starts with Henry Blanco backing him up. This will give Thole more major league experience and primes him for the starting job next season.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/10/2013 (1395 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Eighteen dancers from the Ukrainian National Federation Dance School struck out on their own in 1962 and formed a humble dance ensemble, bonded by their shared Ukrainian heritage and passion for dance.
Little did they know that 50 years later, Rusalka -- named for the seductive water nymph of Ukrainian folklore -- would be regarded as Winnipeg's première Ukrainian dance ensemble. Over the past five decades, Rusalka has delighted audiences all over the world with its kinetic performances, dancing for the likes of Queen Elizabeth II and Pope John Paul II. Many Rusalka dancers have gone on to have careers in the arts -- actress Mimi Kuzyk is an alumna.
More than just entertainment, Rusalka is a vital part of Winnipeg's large and vibrant Ukrainian community; in fact, it still calls the historic UNF Hall on north Main Street home. There have been more than a few Rusalka marriages and many founding members, such as Myron Tarasiuk, have children who dance in the ensemble. He will perform along with his daughter Andriana at the 50th anniversary gala concert Sunday at the Centennial Concert Hall.
Tarasiuk, 63, danced with Rusalka from 1962 until 1984. He recalls those formative years and having to explain to people that Rusalka, despite bearing a name that started with the same three letters, wasn't a Russian dance troupe. It's a telling anecdote about public perception at the time; Ukraine wouldn't gain independence from the Soviet Union until 1991 and it became part of Rusalka's raison d'etre to familiarize people with the history and culture of Ukraine.
In 50 years of highlights, 1979 sticks out for Tarasiuk. That was the year Rusalka first toured Ukraine.
"It was a year I will never forget," says Tarasiuk, who is also a teacher in the English/Ukrainian bilingual program in the Seven Oaks School Division. "First of all we were, to my knowledge, the first Western troupe to perform in Ukraine when it was still under the Communist regime. That was an achievement in itself. And to top it off, we were dancing in front of relatives we never met before. Embarrassingly, I remember losing focus during a dance because I was so focused on the fact a grandfather I'd never met was in the audience. It was a very emotional trip."
For Rusalka dancer/board member Patrick Kuzyk, who danced from 1977 to 1989, that first tour to Ukraine was an eye-opener. He was 19 at the time. "It really focused my desire to discover and preserve my Ukrainian heritage," Kuzyk says.
The 1979 trip was in stark contrast to Rusalka's most recent Ukrainian tour. In August, the ensemble performed as part of Independence Day celebrations in Lviv.
"I'm in the same place, watching my daughter perform, my son perform and my niece perform on Independence Day," Tarasiuk marvels. "You never forget something like that. In 1979, everything in Ukraine was grey. There was nothing to do. There was propaganda everywhere. Now, everything is in colour. There are bars and cafes. It's alive."
Kuzyk says Rusalka's longevity can be owed to the dedicated generations of families who have tirelessly volunteered their time, energy and money.
"I can't believe the group has made it to 50 years, but I am thrilled it's made it," Tarasiuk says. "As with all performing companies, you have your highs and lows and budgets are drained."
Rusalka's legacy is being carried on by "the kids," many of them second- and third-generation Canadians who want to keep their Ukrainian culture alive.
"You want to see young people involved and engaged. For them, it's fun. And for the Ukrainian community, it's a great thing. It offers a tie to our ancestral roots. There are such good kids in this group; I can't say enough about them," Tarasiuk says.
Kids like Kuzyk's 17-year-old daughter Kathryn, who grew up surrounded by Rusalka, always dreamed of being a dancer. That dream became reality in 2011.
"The opportunities still surprise me," she says.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The Senate president reiterated Friday that lawmakers will try to give state workers their first raise in six years, though he warned about the unpredictable nature of economic circumstances that could derail the plan.
Speaking at a luncheon of the Capital Tiger Bay Club, Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, said the move to give state workers more money was bipartisan. Sen. Bill Montford, D-Tallahassee, is one of its chief backers.
"Bill Montford and I are working together as partners to try to find the money to end the six-year drought and give state employees a raise this year," Gaetz said.
It's the first time in several years lawmakers have had enough projected revenue to fund at least the current year budget in the new fiscal year, without having to cut programs.
But Gaetz warned that because the federal sequestration has created a question about the economy, nobody can predict the state's finances.
Florida's state employees last got a raise in 2006 when they got a 3 percent increase in pay, though they did receive a one-time lump sum bonus payment of $1,000 in 2007. Their take-home pay, meanwhile, has dropped because of a new requirement since 2011 that 3 percent of their pay go into the state retirement system for their pensions.
The budget proposed by Gov. Rick Scott includes one-time bonuses for non-supervisory state workers. In addition to the $1,200 bonuses for most state workers, the governor also wants additional merit-based bonuses for other senior employees.
A bill (HB 289) filed in the House by Rep. Michelle Rehwinkel Vasilinda, D-Tallahassee, and in the Senate (SB 1180) by Sen. Darren Soto, D-Kissimmee, would give state employees a 7 percent raise. A bill (HB 41) by Rep. Dwayne Taylor, D-Daytona Beach, in the House and Sen. Arthenia Joyner, D-Tampa in the Senate (SB 484) would provide a 2 percent raise.
Gaetz didn't say on Friday what amount he had in mind for a state worker pay hike.

jjj - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkIt's starting to be annoying that the majority of smartphones sold now are A7/A5 based. CPU power seems to be the first that gets cut when trying to cut costs.It's a pity that so few went A15 ,maybe it gets better with A57 and 20nm, more competition would lead to better pricing but that seems a year away at best.and for now we'll be flooded with up to 8 wimpy cores.
I wouldn't mind it all that much if some would try to reach 4mm in thickness by focusing on low power (and maybe at some point add solar on the back) but the focus is only on cost.Sure there are 5.5mm and up phones but it's not much of a trend. Reply
coder543 - Monday, February 24, 2014 - link"the majority of smartphones sold now are A7/A5 based."
Source? This statement seems blatantly false. Even if it were true, would it be so bad? The A5 isn't exciting, but the Cortex-A7 is a very solid core. The Cortex-A53 will be even better. There's plenty of CPU power in a dual core Cortex-A7 chip for most things people currently use their phones for. The GPU is more of a bottleneck. More CPU is always a good thing, all battery life being equal, but there's nothing bad about Cortex-A7 as a processor core.
Regardless, most phones *do not* use Cortex-A5 or Cortex-A7. Until the Moto G, you couldn't even _buy_ a phone with A7 in the U.S., let alone imagine that most phones used A7 chips. I'm sure A7 phones are more common in developing markets, but I strongly doubt it is anywhere near a majority. Reply

errorr - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkI feel that most AT readers are confused about the true volume numbers in phone shipments. There is a huge difference in the Value of the types of SOC's sold and the volume.
The high end chips that end up in the phones destined for the people who read this site are a fraction of the total shipments of chips.
I don't really care about the $50-$100 phone market and the dual core A5 and A7 chips that go into them. However, there is some interest in how rockchip, mediatek, etc... try and to expand into the area dominated by Qualcomm and Samsung.
At the same time Qualcomm especially is trying to expand into the high volume low margin quad A7 market.
Qualcomm killer tech is their modem integration which makes them required tech for any 1st world country phone. But the rest of the world doesn't have LTE and the "good enough" low price chips are coming.
Of course all of this is further obscured by the subsidy model of the American Carriers that make the US ignore the price pressures that make ZTE, Samsung, Sony, and others push lower specced phones that will sell much better outside the US. Reply

Armen Living Jester Chair
My new goal in life is to be as cool as this chair. The circles remind me simultaneously of donuts and records - 2 things that are pretty hard to beat on the awesome scale! Plus it just makes me happy to look at it, and that's a highly-underrated thing :)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is insisting he's "pro-life" and questions his Republican presidential campaign rivals are raising about his reversal of positions on this issue are expected.
Answering questions from reporters at a campaign event in South Carolina Thursday, Romney also said, "I understand there are some attack ads coming my way" on his evolving abortion views.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has been hammering away at Romney's claim to conservative credentials, and Gingrich said Thursday he intends to emphasize Romney's views on social issues such as abortion, gun control and gay marriage in the days leading up to South Carolina's Jan. 21 primary.
Romney also is defending his record as a venture capitalist, repeating his contention that the company he ran was set up to save businesses where possible, although he's admitted that in private business, these efforts aren't always fruitful.
Romney came to South Carolina Wednesday as the unmistakable front-runner in the GOP presidential sweepstakes.

Alexander McQueen Spring 2014
So, Sarah Burton's back in the saddle. That's rather an awful pun, alluding to the fact that she's back from maternity leave, and that she showed her spring collection in the Parisian cavalry headquarters of the French Garde Républicaine. But let's rein that remark back in. The scenario Burton planned out for the season wasn't horsey at all, but concentrated on a cultural merge of African and early-twentieth-century art, deftly cross-referenced with nineties McQueen street style. This is the point where an outbreak of accordion-pleating can simultaneously read as a punk-kilt, a hip-wrap worn by some non-specific African tribe, and a ladylike, swingy skirt.
First thing to say: The work in these clothes is so intensely elaborate—from the textiles, which looked like checkered tweed but are actually formed from feathers and beads, down to the minutely lacy cropped leggings smothered with even more minuscule beading—that the full impact of its stunning quality can hardly be appreciated from even a few steps away. "It was about getting back to the love of making clothes, really," said Burton.
Drawing comparisons between tribal dressing and graphics inspired by Mondrian and Picasso and metal helmets reminiscent of Futurist sculpture isn't really such a far-fetched trope when you remember that the first breakthroughs in Modernism happened when artists in Paris started drawing from African art at the beginning of the last century. Josephine Baker, the It girl dancer of the twenties would have looked brilliant performing in a Paris nightclub in any one of the ostrich-feathered or horse-hair fringed dresses Burton sent out. (And yet why the casting didn't include more black girls is still the recurring question which hangs over this entire season.)
Although it was impossible not to be awed by the crafting of surface techniques—the tiers of over-embroidered lattice-work, the fan-pleated skirts inset with beads, the way an appliquéd coat graduated seamlessly from solidity to an aerated hem—it was a relief to see Burton inserting more wearable ideas into her collection, too. Crocodile harnesses and hard leather jackets may be all very "signature" for McQueen, but in there amongst them, were glimpses—coats, swishy flared skirts, flocked track pants, a pair of summery printed cotton shorts with a matching bra top—of how this collection can translate to daily life. Result: Buyers left the show in an upbeat mood, while stylists added Alexander McQueen to their lists of most-wanted looks for all the magazine shoots which will be spun around the idea of "tribal" next spring.

A beautiful old farm house with large comfortable, clean rooms. Madame made us feel very welcome. A very relaxed atmosphere. Not a smart hotel but a very friendly attractive old farm house steeped in history. No it exceeded my expectations
An out of town location made it our most peacefull and enjoyed stay all week. Breakfast served al fresco on the family table. Views into the vinyards...beautiful. At the top of a steep hill (hard work on bikes with panniers). Not much to offer beyond seclusion. No on-hand facilities for drinks etc. Your very much on your own!
Quiet rural location. Good breakfast. Close to major historic centre Bergerac.Swimming pool looked good but weather was not good enough on the day of my stay to use No entertainment if the weather is bad. Old rustic French style decoration of room, which is ok but could be better rearanged tastfuly

Who knew management gurus could be so noisy – or so emotional? Gather business academics together in one place and they are more likely to exchange views on core competences or quietly debate the legacy of Peter Drucker. Put them in a banqueting hall and offer them the chance to win an award, though, and they go as mad as a group of middle managers at the Regional Salesperson of the Year gala luncheon. Read more

Segmentation ReconfigurationRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
I've a head, a heart,
and a final part
Should my head you send
to succeed my end
I could then be used
to make others new
If affixing me's
what you'd like to do
Should you clone my heart
to before my start
Then I'd turn from small
to be not at all
Should my final part
become my new start
Transplanted as such
timewise I'd be much
What am I?
AnswerI am the word "one".
I have "a head" - the letter "o", "a heart" - the letter "n", "and a final part" - the letter "e".
If you rearrange my parts by moving "my head" ("o") after "my end" ("e"), then I'd become the prefix "neo-" which means "new".
Therefore, you could make other words ("others") "new" by prefixing me (I am now "neo-") to them.
If "you clone my heart" ("n") in front of "my start" ("o"), then I'd become the word "none" ("n" + "one").
In this case, I would change from being "small" ("one", a small number) to "not at all" ("none").
If "my final part" ("e") is moved to make it my first letter ("my new start"), then I'd become the word "eon".
An eon is an immeasurably long period of time, and so "transplanted as such" (i.e. "my final part" having been moved in this way), "timewise I'd be much".
What Next?

Drain the tomatoes, place the tomato liquid in a measuring cup and add enough cold water to equal 2 cups. Bring the tomato/water mixture, sea salt and garlic to a boil. Stir in the quinoa and return to a boil. Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the quinoa is tender. Turn off the flame and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Transfer to a large serving bowl and fluff up.
Gently toss in the remaining ingredients, including the diced tomatoes, using enough lime juice to give the salad a pleasant flavor.

I'm going to be smoking 3 more Boston Butts again this weekend, and I still have some more questions. I read somewhere that there shouldn't be alot of smoke coming out of the cooker. Last week I used Kingsford briquettes and Hickory chunks (with some apple chips, both dry-not soaked), and I got alot of smoke when I would add the wood. Should I soak the wood first before I add it to the coals?
I also bought a bag of lump (Cowboy brand) and was wondering if I could mix it with the Kingsford, or if I have to use it by itself. I didn't know if mixing the two would affect the taste of the meat in any way.
Thanks for all the help you guys have given me...I'm still learnin'!

HOUSTON - In his first public comments since learning that Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation, Daniel Cardinal DiNardo, head of the Archdiocese of Galveston- Houston, said he was surprised by the announcement and a little saddened.
"At the same time, the Holy Father was very clear and precise on his reasons for resigning. They center of the very meaning of the Pope as governing the ship of St. Peter, the Church, and proclaiming the Gospel," said DiNardo. "These ministries involve strength of mind and body, that due to his advancing age, the Holy Fathers senses he can longer fulfill with the vigor required in today's age of rapid changes and questions of great relevance to the Faith,"
As a cardinal in the Catholic church, DiNardo will take part in a process, called a conclave, along with cardinals from around the world, to elect Pope Benedict's successor.
This will be DiNardo's first time assuming such an enormous responsibility.
"We want someone who has some stamina, because the work of the Holy Father is obviously intense," said DiNardo. "I don't know who is the running contender and even if I knew, I'd never tell," he said, sparking laughter in a room full of reporters and church officials.
The Houston area has an estimated 1.2 million Catholics and some said they would like to see DiNardo named to lead the church.
However, DiNardo dismissed that idea.
"I'm impressed that my name would be mentioned on any list, but I don't think that's likely," he said. "First of all, it's a question of experience. I've only been a cardinal a few years and it's unlikely that an American will be elected pope."
DiNardo said he doesn't have any specific details on a timetable to elect the new pope. This is the first time in 600 years that a pope is stepping down.
"We pray for him and all the Church as the Cardinals now prepare to elect his successor in the weeks ahead. May the Holy Spirit guide those efforts and may the prayers of the Mother of God assist us all in being in genuine communion with the Lord, with Peter, and will all members of the Church," said DiNardo.

Print After "Daddy Joe" died in 1918, other members of the family wanted to move the business to Fort Worth. Miss Enid felt so strongly that "Daddy Joe" wanted the company in Nocona, she stayed. In 1925, her brothers packed up the equipment and moved to Fort Worth. Miss Enid had made her decision. She borrowed $5,000 to keep seven employees in her small shop and founded the Nocona Boot Company. During those first years, Miss Enid turned her home into a boarding house, worked as a sales clerk, shipping clerk, stenographer and credit manager. At first, some men had trouble doing business with a lady bootmaker, but they soon discovered the quality was just as good as her late father's. The discovery of oil near Nocona brought many new customer's to Miss Enid's young company. They made a 16 inch "lace-up" boot that was tough enough to survive the oil fields and the wildcatters kept coming back for more. Accompanied by her sister, Miss Enid made her first sales trip into West Texas in 1926. "The roads looked like cattle trails in those day's" she said. "And for good reason, they were cattle trails. Our old Model T took a pretty good beating on that first trip. In fact, we lost a back wheel once, it came loose and jumped over a fence. Despite the hazards of the road, the trip was successful. We came back with a book full of orders and a new market for boots." On the way to the company's national reputation as a quality bootmaker, Miss Enid sponsored a Pony Express race from Nocona to San Francisco. Fourteen cowboys and one cowgirl took off at 9 AM on March 1,1939, from Nocona and the first rider reached San Francisco at 2 PM on March 24th. In 1981, the Nocona Boot Company merged with Justin Industries, parent company of the Justin Boot Company, bringing the bootmaking histories of the two family companies full circle.

I grew up in a long line of people who felt they needed to save things. I'm fairly sure the concept of saving was created by my grandparents, who survived the Great Depression along with many of you and your ancestors. It affected many folks in many ways. For us, it meant we would never run short of anything ever again.
That's right ... my grandparents gathered things they might need if ever the Great Depression repeated itself. What that means is that we usually had at least two of everything — often even more than two. My mom, who was a child during those years, still abides by that practice. Never can she buy just one can of green beans or one box of elbow macaroni. After all ... you just never know ... which translates to the concept of buying one can of green beans for now and one for later — just in case.
OK ... let me set you straight right away. We are not hoarders. I've watched those hoarding shows too, and trust me, we're not even close. But we are savers, gatherers. We gather things for safe-keeping ... for the unknown ... for a rainy day ... for tomorrow ... for whenever the world changes and we might not be able to have what we need. It's ingrained in us.
As an adult, I've attempted to change my family's gathering ways, and I have made strides in the right direction. I don't gather food, though I did buy five, one-pound bags of Gevalia coffee the other day because it was on sale. I don't gather clothes anymore. OK ... I still will buy shoes, purses and jackets only because I can't resist something that catches my eye, but I'll never be like my grandfather who died with about a dozen packages of unopened underwear and just as many new shirts, hankerchiefs and socks. And I've just about quit going to antique stores because I want to gather up all those pretty, old dishes and take them home with me — even though I have no room for one more pretty, old dish.
I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea. At my age, it just doesn't make sense to keep gathering things and tucking them away for that proverbial rainy day. That's why one of my New Year's resolutions this year is to stop gathering ... and start scattering.
That's right. After the chaos in my life right now settles down, I'm going to start going through cupboards, cabinets, dresser drawers, closets, the plastic bins in the basement, the shelves in the study, the buffet in the dining room, the file cabinets in the studio, both garages ... you get the idea. I'm going to look at each piece and decide how much I really want it and then either put it back or start scattering each item to other people, The Closet, Goodwill or the dreaded garage sale box.
I'm actually kind of excited about the process. I think it will be a real eye-opener, and something about the idea of going through life lighter is very appealing. That's right ... I'm going to scatter some of my stuff away, and I'm perfectly OK with the concept.
Now my family would say: "That's just crazy talk, Terri. You never know what catastrophe is lurking around the corner. Better hold on to some of that stuff."
But I'm through with that kind of thinking. If the Great Depression No. 2 hits tomorrow and I've scattered all my things away, I'll have to just figure it out.
And here's something else I'm hoping this exercise will teach me too. While I'm scattering things here and there, I also plan on scattering quite a few other things too — like seeds of kindness, generosity, love and concern. I have to believe if I travel through life a little lighter, I'll have more of an opportunity to focus on what's really important ... OK, I might have to buy a new purse now and then, but then I'm drawing the line.

Since the introduction of 3D screen technology and 3D movies, we have been attracted to theatres and everything connected with 3D technology. But no one ever thought of why a headache occurs after viewing 3d content. Why does one feel fatigue or visual discomfort after viewing 3D content?
A Research Team at University Of California, Berkley conducted a research on 24 adults and determined that 3D content hurts both your eyes and brain. The medical term used for this is 'vergence-accomodation'. To view 3D content, the eyes must adjust accordingly and constantly to both screen and distance of the 3D content which puts unnecessary work on eyes and extra burden on your brain.

text: He would be the PERFECT choice to help implement the Tampa 2. Why? He just played in Zimmer's version in Cincy and is known for his prowess in bothe defending the run and pass (his 6 INT's in '07 still seem fresh in my mind). Plus, he's coming off an injury, so he would come cheap. Finally, he may want to end his career in his home state. Just a thought. SKEWER AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE River Stour has a new protector - the Little Stour Warrior.
Environmental group Transition Stourbridge has officially launched its new boat which will be used in the battle to clean the river.
Instead of launching the vessel with a magnum of champagne the Little Stour Warrior was sent off and officially named with a bottle of crystal clear Malvern Water.
The boat has already been used to transfer rubbish and ferry volunteers to the bits of the river which were previously unreachable.
Rosanne Adams, from The River Stour Clear Water Project, outlined the importance of the new boat.
She said: "We are delighted to have the Little Stour Warrior on the water now as a lot of work was been put into getting the boat ready.
"We will now be able to do lots more work on the river because the boat will allow us to get to places we have never been before."
The Little Stour Warrior came into its own during the latest clean up day on the river last week.
She said: "The boat was used to carry the rubbish upstream and we fished out at least 12 shopping trolleys, at the end it looked like a shopping trolley graveyard.
"One passer-by even said "I've lived here 19 years and didn't know the river was under there."
The River Stour starts in the Clent Hills and runs for 25 miles through Halesowen, Cradley Heath, Stourbridge, Kidderminster and joins the River Severn in Worcestershire.
The River Stour Clear Water Project, which is run by Transition Stourbridge, organise clean ups throughout the year and are always grateful for volunteers.

I feel my mother's Spirit is with me all the time & I know she's watching over me. I know that it was my mother who gave me the strength to go through all the red tape in France for her estate. The Notaire is heartless and I'm hanging on to the hope that when I die that I'll be with my mother again eternally. She's waiting for me for as long as it takes. A butterfly landed on my arm the other day, spread it's beautiful wings, stayed a few seconds and then disappeared. This happened while I was walking up my sidewalk & I know that was my mother visiting me. How come I don't dream of her?

Today's post by this month's featured author, Joshilyn Jackson | @JoshilynJackson
My office is a converted sun porch off the back of our painted brick 50's bungalow. It is all windows on two sides. We live right by a bird sanctuary; the yard is rife with the feathery little boogers. I put a feeder on the window just above Mango—my main personal assistant, mostly in charge of yacking hairballs directly into my printer—and all day long I have wrens and finches and even a few cardinals pertly sitting just above his cat basket.
I like to work with animals around me. My husband says the number of animals I need to be happy is best represented by X + 1, where X is the number of animals I have now. Currently X is three, and I am in the market for a tuxedo kitten. If we don't find the right kitten, my back up plan to is to agitate for a Ball Python, a breed of snake known for being docile and amenable to being handled. If I get one, I am going to name him Sippy Cups.
The truth is, I need a bunch of little heartbeats in the house or I get very low, very fast. I am more an extrovert than most writers, and my job means a lot of alone time.
On the floor, you can see my secondary assistant, Ansley. She's in charge of making pig noises and being anxious. Behind me is a futon, where Bagel-Dog, my tertiary assistant in charge of snoozing does his work, and floor to ceiling bookshelves holding the books I love enough to keep. I took a picture of one random section piece of my shelves because I love peeping other people's book shelves and figured you might, too.

GNU Wget
Introduction to GNU Wget
GNU Wget is a free software package for retrieving files using HTTP, HTTPS and FTP, the most widely-used Internet protocols. It is a non-interactive commandline tool, so it may easily be called from scripts, cron jobs, terminals without X-Windows support, etc.
GNU Wget has many features to make retrieving large files or mirroring entire web or FTP sites easy, including:
- Can resume aborted downloads, using REST and RANGE
- Can use filename wild cards and recursively mirror directories
- NLS-based message files for many different languages
- Optionally converts absolute links in downloaded documents to relative, so that downloaded documents may link to each other locally
- Runs on most UNIX-like operating systems as well as Microsoft Windows
- Supports HTTP proxies
- Supports HTTP cookies
- Supports persistent HTTP connections
- Unattended / background operation
- Uses local file timestamps to determine whether documents need to be re-downloaded when mirroring
- GNU Wget is distributed under the GNU General Public License.
Downloading GNU Wget
The source code for GNU Wget can be found on http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/ [via http] and ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/ [via FTP]. It can also be found on one of our FTP mirrors. For more download options, see the download information on the Wget Wgiki.
GNU Wget documentation can be found here. For manuals of other GNU packages, please see https://www.gnu.org/manual/.
Additional Information
Additional information is at the Wget Wgiki, including frequently asked questions, and how you can help us to improve Wget!
GNU Wget is currently being maintained by Giuseppe Scrivano. The original author of GNU Wget is Hrvoje Nikšić. Please do not directly contact either of these individuals with bug reports, or requests for help with Wget: that is what the mailing list is for; please use it instead.
We thank the TYPO3 & Magento partner AOE media for donating to the wget project.

Summer Fest: Cool Cucumber Soupby Michelle Buffardi in Uncategorized, July 20, 2011
Week three of our season-long garden party Summer Fest 2011 welcomes food and garden bloggers to feature garden-to-table recipes and tips. We'll help you to enjoy all that this season has to offer. So far, we've delved into eggplant and peaches. This week we're getting creative with: cucumbers.
With temperatures reaching 90 degrees in many areas of the country, it's just too hot to cook. But it's never too hot to eat right, so mercury rising is no excuse to roll through the drive-through. Ellie Krieger's Cool Cucumber Soup is just the solution. It's perfect for the height of summer because:
- You won't need to turn on the oven or stove to make it.
- It's done in 20 minutes.
- It's a great way to use up the cucumbers growing like crazy in the garden.
- It clocks in at just 130 calories and 2.5 grams of fat, so makes a waistline-friendly light lunch or appetizer.
- Per Ellie, it's a good source of protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and calcium.
What are you waiting for? Get out the blender and whip up this super-cool, creamy-yet-good-for you cold soup.
Cool Cucumber Soup
Serves 4
3 cups plain nonfat yogurt
1 English cucumber (about 1 pound), cut into chunks
1 scallion, white and green parts, coarsely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, plus sprigs for garnish
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium tomato, seeded and diced, or 3 sliced radishes
2 teaspoons olive oil
In a blender, combine the yogurt, cucumber, scallion and dill. Pulse until pureed. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Ladle into individual bowls. Top each serving with 2 tablespoons of diced tomato or radishes, drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil and garnish with a dill sprig.
