Among the many surprises Rick Majerus sprung on me when we met for lunch on a sunny February day nearly two years ago was his insistence that he drive. I wouldn't exactly call Cincinnati "my town" because I spend so many days in my home office or on the road, but my time there is well into its second decade. Wouldn't I know better where to dine?
The answer to that was surprise No. 2: Absolutely not. As we drove from the Kingsgate Marriott toward the restaurant of his choice down the street in the city's Clifton neighborhood, we passed maybe a half-dozen establishments I'd never visited. He graded them all for me: Good sandwiches here, good pizza there.
Oh, and the third surprise? He chose to dine at Skyline Chili.
It didn't matter where we were eating; I just was looking forward to talking ball for as long as he would allow. We were there nearly two hours. When I ordered a baked potato, and only a baked potato, he snapped, "That's all you want? Are you a vegetarian?" I'll always laugh and at the shock in his voice. It is a lovely memory to recall on this, the day Rick Majerus passed away.
If you knew him at all, you've been fearing this day for years. Death is inevitable for all of us, but his always seemed more present, like it was waiting in the next room. Majerus had heart issues for two decades. His obvious weight problems not only exacerbated that concern but also played in a role in other ailments and injuries, such as when a player flew over the sideline and knocked him into the scorer's table during a game during the 2010-11 season, severely gashing Majerus' leg. Because of the blood thinners he took, stopping the bleeding was a terrible challenge.
"When you get in your 60s," Majerus said that day, "something's going to get you." He was 64 when he ran out of time.
Majerus coached in college at Marquette, Ball State, Utah and Saint Louis. He led Utah to the 1998 NCAA championship game, one of the few recent coaches to get that far from beyond the advantages of the most powerful conferences. He compiled a 517-216 record and 12 NCAA Tournament appearances, and only once did he fail to advance a round. He never got an elite job, but he won NCAA Tournament games at each of his last three stops. His NCAA victims include some of the biggest names: North Carolina, Arizona, Memphis, Pitt.
DeCourcy on Majerus' retirement: 'True genius of the game' will be missed
He spoke at our lunch of how he accepted the Southern Cal job in 2004, then gave it back a few days later. He said afterward it was a matter of his health not being strong enough to allow his return, but it was more about the deep devotion to his mother, who lived in Milwaukee and was concerned he'd be so far away from home.
"You've only got one mom," he said. "I have a great mom. When I took the USC job, I tried to move my mom and my sisters and my nieces all out there." When his mother resisted, he relented and went back to doing television until he got the opportunity to coach Saint Louis in 2007.
He was near the end of his last losing season on the day of that lunch. His team had two suspended starters and injuries on top of that. The Billikens gave a terrific Xavier team fits the next day, because the players Majerus had left ran their oh-fense—Majerus' pronunciation—so beautifully the Musketeers struggled to defend them, but ultimately SLU fell in that game. They finished the season 12-19.
Majerus all but promised, though, that the next season's team would make it back. "I'd like to build it up and go to another NCAA, and I think we will," he said.
And so they did. The last team Majerus coached showed off his unparalleled skill for teaching offensive basketball. No player on the team averaged even 14 points, and the Billikens shot under 45 percent from the field. But their precision helped them close the regular season with nine victories in the final 11 games and earn that tournament bid he wanted so dearly.
Majerus did not waste that final opportunity. His Billikens spun the Memphis Tigers in circles during the opening game for each, and the top-seeded Michigan State Spartans were nearly as perplexed in the game to decide which reached the Sweet 16. Coming off Big Ten regular-season and tournament championships, MSU led the Billikens by only a basket inside the final three minutes but stretched that out and celebrated in the end.
In the last game he ever coached, Majerus, as ever, put on a clinic.
"I didn't know who would win, but I told my guys I know what good a coach he is," Michigan State's Tom Izzo said. "He did an incredible job."
Majerus was a bit emotional when he arrived at what turned out to be his final postgame press conference. But not as much as Brian Conklin, the star of that last SLU team. He broke down talking about what Majerus had meant to him.
"Coach has done so much. Being his first recruiting class, he told me that we were going to help him build something special here. And it felt like this year it really came together," Conklin said. "He's a great coach. I couldn't imagine playing for a better coach, a better person. He doesn't just teach you about basketball, it's about life.
"And he's a great figure for the community and for the city, and he's really brought Saint Louis basketball to where it is right now, bringing in great guys. We all love each other in that locker room. And he just knows how to read a person, and he brings us all together and we buy into his system because it works, and it brought us this far this year. And you know they've got a great nucleus coming back next year and they're going to be a really tough team, really tough guards, because it's the guy that's leading it."
Majerus was unable to lead another team. His failing health demanded he take a leave of absence on the eve of the season, and SLU announced early last month he would no longer be coaching the team. Saturday, it became all too clear why.
That news warrants every tear Conklin spent that afternoon, and more.

Dec. 29, 2005
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. _ As Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl made the usual pregame handshakes with the visiting team he told Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson how good he thought the Bisons were.
For much of Thursday night the Bisons did what they could to prove Pearl's assessment was correct. But too many fouls, too many minutes for many of the starters and not enough help off of the bench contributed to a 69-58 loss by the Bisons to the Volunteers in front of an announced crowd of 15,967 at Thompson-Boling Arena.
"Lipscomb is a well-coached basketball team," said Pearl. "They were very well prepared after having 10 days to get ready for us.
"I knew it was going to be a low-scoring game because that is how Lipscomb plays. They wore us out a little bit guarding them."
Tennessee improved to 8-1 with the win. The Bisons, playing their third Southeastern Conference opponent of the season, are 5-5 headed into a Jan. 2 meeting with Gardner-Webb at 4 p.m. at Allen Arena, the first of 18 straight Atlantic Sun Conference games.
One thing Sanderson hopes to find between now and then is some consistent help from his reserves.
The Bisons showed a great deal of heart and grit in front of a hostile sea of orange. Down 11-2 with 13:52 left in the first half they went on a 13-3 run sparked by 3-pointers from guards James Poindexter and Trey Williams and forward Eddie Ard to take a 15-14 lead at 10:18.
The lead would change hands three times in the final 10 minutes of the first half. A pair of free throws by C.J. Watson with 11 seconds left gave the Volunteers a 27-26 lead at intermission.
"I thought we were pretty good defensively in the first half," said Sanderson. "We let our defense work,"
The second half was very similar to the first in the opening minutes with the Volunteers going on a 10-2 run in the first three minutes. Lipscomb guard Brian Fisk shot a 3-pointer from the corner at 16:11 cut the Tennessee lead to 37-31.
Four straight free throws made by Ard and a jumper from Fisk in the lane pulled the Bisons to within two points at 39-37 with 14:17 remaining. The Bisons would not get that close to the Volunteers the rest of the game.
With 10 minutes left to play Sanderson knew his Bisons were too fatigued to do what was necessary to rally.
"I told our coaches at the 10-minute mark we were too tired to get over the hump," said Sanderson. "We didn't get enough bench help. Our starters played way too many minutes."
The Volunteers opened up an 11-point lead, their biggest of the game with 57 seconds left to play on a pair of free throws by Dane Bradshaw to make it 67-56.
Both Williams and center Shaun Durant were hampered by foul troubles. Durant was hit with his fourth foul with 13:58 left to play. He was whistled for his fifth foul with two minutes remaining. Williams got his fourth foul at 13:56. He left the game with his fifth foul with 3:05 left.
"When Trey Williams goes out we hurt," said Sanderson. "We need him on the floor playing a lot of minutes. We can run a lot of things with him. We flow better offensively when he is in the game. We have not solidified our back-uo point guard spot.
Durant, the team-leader and Atlantic Sun Conference leader in rebounds, finished with six, but managed only two points, well below his average of 10.7 heading into the game.
"Shaun Durant is a warrior," said Sanderson. "Their big guys had size and length on him a little bit. Most nights he is going to very, very solid."
Their losses were magnified by the need for Fisk to leave the game with 1:37 left due to a cut that was bleeding on his upper lip.
The Bisons shot 35.7 percent from the floor with Ard scoring 24 points which were a game-high, a season-high and a career-high. Fisk added 19.
"Eddie has to be disciplined and take the shots when they are there," said Sanderson. "Even in the first half, when he was on a roll, he took a couple of bad shots. But he is very capable of getting on a roll."
On the boards the Bisons more than held their own hauling down 43 compared to 33 by Tennessee. Lipscomb forward Cameron Robinson pulled down a game-high nine rebounds.
Tennessee shot 38.2 percent from the field. Watson led the Volunteers with 18 points, 13 of them from the free throw line. Major Wingate added 13 and Stanley Asumnu chipped in 11.
The most interesting aspect of the Volunteers offense was the fact that Chris Lofton, who came into the game averaging a team-leading 18.4 points scored only six against the Bisons with no points in the second half.
"Chris Lofton made those two shots early," said Pearl. "Lipscomb did a good job of switching out on him. Chris did not do a good job of getting open."
But as Sanderson feared turnovers were a problem. After committing only five in the first half they made 16 miscues in the second.
"We turned it over nine times in the first 10 minutes of the second half," said Sanderson. "There is no defense for turnovers on the perimeter. If they want to run their half-court offense against our half-court defense, I will take our chances. But if we turn the ball over on the perimeter we can not defend against that."

These are the jobs that you usually don't hear a mother proudly say, "My son is a ________!" or see Hollywood glamorizing one of these underrated jobs -- but when you look at the stats, they should be!
"You never saw a movie about a civil engineer or a TV show starring a computer-systems analyst!" said Tony Lee, publisher of CareerCast.com.
The job listing and advice site has come out with its annual listof the most underrated jobs – and the most overrated jobs.
So, what makes a job underrated?
"The pay is better, the hiring outlook is better , the level of stress tends to be lower, and the physical demands aren't that great," Lee said. "It's a good job with a good forecast."
He added: "The most underrated jobs offer increasing opportunities and rewarding potential for job seekers new to the labor force, or those who need a change." What's more, several of these positions don't even require a college degree.

Garza Goes Down
Instead of a Trivia question during the daily recaps, I will give you a wild
fact to soak in your baseball-filled minds are evolve with your
subconscious fluids to use at any SABRE convention,or for a possible free
beverage at your local pub/wing joint.
During a double header on May 2,1954, St. Louis Cardinal, Stan Musial became
the first player to hit five (5) Home runs in the same day.
I have been thinking for about a week on what to use this season to
illustrate the positives, negatives and so forth that happen in every game this
I decided to use my favorite spaghetti western as a basis for my daily look
at the prior night's contest. I have always been a huge Clint Eastwood fan. My
Dad used to take us on the Sunday night Drive-In movie experience as a kid. This
generation has no idea of the great times, and wild weather, kids and antics
that can happen at an outdoor movie.
The best was sitting on the swings underneath the huge three story screen
and watching the actors as 100 foot action figures. Anyways, this is the
premiere of the Rays' "Good, the Bad and the Ugly"
The good is a two-fold version today. Major
kudos for the Rays' backup catcher Shawn Riggans. Riggs is hitting the cover
off the ball, and connected last night for a beautiful second row left-center
shot into the seats. Shawn also called a great game behind the plate and is
showing the potential we all knew he had to be our starting catcher. Shawn might
have only 14 at bats this season, but he has a .333 batting average at this
moment and is showing power by having 4 RBI's and two extra base hits in his 4
hits this season. Way to go Shawn.
Second is a no-brainer to me. Carlos Pena
might not be picking up where he left off last year, but he is surely hitting
the cover off the ball. Early in the game he hit one of the longest Sacrifice
fly in the Trop in a long time to Ichiro. The ball was only a few feet from the
warning track and was hit on a frozen rope. Of course, later the game he
hit his third homer of the young season to Right field to ignite the crowd.
Carlos now has 6 RBIs to go with his 3 H Rs.
Matt Garza has had a situation with a radial
nerve irritation for a long time. He has said he usually can fight the pain and
pitch, but tonight the pain hit a new threshold and he could not control the
ball correctly anymore. He had thrown 4 straight balls to Mariners' DH Jose
Vidro, and did not seem to be able to hit the edges of the
plate. He immediately called for Rays trainer Ron
Porterfield and after a short discussion with Ron and Joe Maddon, was replaced
by Scott Dohmann. Matt has been placed on the 15 day disabled list at the time
of this posting.
This is bad, since it opens another hole in
the rotation early in the season. What was once a solid top three rotation is
now becoming more patchwork as the days roll by here. The Rays subsequently
recalled pitcher Jae Kuk Ryu from Durham, but his job will be in t Bullpen, not
to start any of the future games.
And the
Ugly….really Ugly
The Umpire crew was not having a great
night. Rays catcher Shawn Riggans had asked for a "timeout" after catching a
foul ball behind the plate off the bat of Adrian Beltre. But the home plate umpire did not register
or grant the timeout. So in a bizzare, but heads up play, Seattles Jose Lopez
tagged up and moved to second to put the Mariners in scoring
Riggans "thought he called timeout," Maddon said. "That's a good base running
play by them. You can't call timeout if the runner's actually moving," Maddon said. "The
umpires did the right thing by not permitting time out. There was nothing to
argue right there, but I did want to appeal it. Once I found out specifically
what [home-plate umpire] Marvin [Hudson] thought, I wanted to appeal to see if
the other umpires saw what he saw."
But that was only the start of the wild and
weird on this opening night. Later in the night, B J Upton laced a beauty
down the rightfield line into the corner where it hit the wall and bounced out
in a wild angle. Upton, who lost his right shoe after leaving the batter's box,
did not stop at second, but proceeded to slide into third
base. Post game photos and video showed after the
game that B J was safe and did not hit Beltre's foot blocking the base. He had
snuck in the backdoor on him and was coming up safe when the third base umpire
called B J out. After a short animated look at the umpire, BJ headed to the
dugout as manager Joe Maddon was heading to third to debate the
After that, there was a close play at first
that went against the Rays. Throughout the rest of the night, the umpire crew
took a huge vocal response from the home crowd that made me proud. The crowd had
gotten into the game and were very vocal on the Upton play and on any close play
the rest of the night. After the game, as the umpiring crew was
leaving the field, they were met by another chorus of the "boo-birds" until
finally disappearing into the tunnel.
Ex Ray,and current Baltimore Oriole, Aubrey Huff went 4-4
last night with 4 RBI's. Huff's night did not totally go without controversy.
In the sixth inning, he hit a long fly ball that hit the yellow line on the top
of the Right field outfield fence. The play was initially called a three-run
homer, but was overturned by the on field umpiring crew and changed to a two-run
double off the wall. "I initially thought it hit the red part behind the yellow line," said Huff.
"That's the way I saw it. I was giving [second-base umpire Sam Holbrook] the
business out there at second. After I came in and looked at the tape and saw
they were right, I was fortunate to get back on second and I said, 'Sam, I'm
sorry.' He said, 'I know, I got it right.' He knew."
Huff was blasted by the Orioles fans during the Rays opening series for
comments he made about the town on the nationally syndicated "Bubba the Love
Sponge Show" in the off season. Huff , who is also batting .333 this season,
might be finally back in the good graces of the Baltimore faithful since his 11
RBI's is leading the M L B at this posting. By the Way, Aubrey brings his karaoke Krew into the Trop this weekend for a
three game series. Maybe we can have "Huffapaloosa II this weekend at a local
watering hole?

Opposition is growing to President Barack Obama's nominee to serve as a federal judge in Georgia.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told Buzzfeed in an interview on Wednesday that he "can't vote" to confirm Obama's pick, Michael Boggs, unless he gets a better explanation for the judge's controversial record on civil rights and race.
"This is a lifetime appointment," Reid said. "He's said some things and made some decisions I think are not very good."
Obama's nomination of Boggs as U.S. District Court Judge for the Northern District of Georgia has received a chilly response from the president's fellow Democrats in the Senate, who questioned Boggs at a hearing Tuesday about his record as a Georgia state legislator.
Civil rights groups have raised concerns about Boggs' votes in favor of bills that would have restricted abortion and made abortions doctors' names public, his support of a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, and his opposition to repealing the Confederate flag.
Boggs' nomination is part of a deal the White House struck with Georgia's Republican Senators to fill six judicial vacancies in Georgia, including five women_one the first female district judge on her court, and one the first African-American female lifetime appointed judge in Georgia.
"Boggs is not somebody I'm going to vote for unless I have some explanations on why he did that deal with the rebel flag and things he's said about abortion," Reid told Buzzfeed.
Obama stands by his choice of Boggs, and considers him qualified based on his judicial record over the past decade, said White House spokesman Jay Carney on Wednesday.
But Obama understands senators must vote with their consciences, even if it means voting against a nominee he chose, Carney said.
"The president of course believes each senator should vote as he or she sees fit," he said.

Comparing your patient bill with your insurance
If you have private insurance, Medicare or Medicaid, you should receive a statement from your insurer showing payments they made for your treatment. This may be called an explanation of benefits (EOB) or Medicare Summary Notice (MSN).
You can compare these statements to our bills to see where we have applied your insurer's payments to your account and deducted them from your balance. This is called "reconciling" your patient bill, and we've developed the following tips to help you do this.
Tips to reconcile your patient bill with your insuranceClick on a purple dot to move forward or backward through the video above.
If you have not yet received a statement from your insurer, call your insurer to request one. If you have Medicare, you should receive a statement once each quarter.

Cambodian police investigate death of American man
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Police in Cambodia said Saturday that they were investigating the death of an American teacher whose body was found wrapped in a curtain at a garbage dump in the capital.
U.S. diplomats in the Southeast Asian nation could not immediately be reached for comment. But Cambodian police official Mom Sitha identified the man as William Glenn and said he had been in the Southeast Asian nation for two months, teaching at several schools in Phnom Penh.
According to Mom Sitha, Glenn left his guesthouse early Tuesday on a motorcycle taxi and never returned. His body was discovered Wednesday, and no suspects have been apprehended yet, he said.
Mom Sitha said the motive for the killing was not known. "Up to now we have not yet identified the killers, but our police experts will pursue the case until the perpetrators are arrested," he said.
The English-language Cambodia Daily newspaper reported that Glenn was strangled to death. The paper said he was 43 and was from the U.S. state of Mississippi.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Thursday, August 09, 2007
It's a Matter of Opinion...
In spite of that, I still love illustrations of marlin fishing - and this week's theme gives me the perfect excuse to show you a few I've been saving up. This one, below, is also interesting because its painted by Wendell Kling.
Kling was certainly an accomplished illustrator -- but more importantly, he owned a massive graphic arts studio in Chicago that provided a huge array of services - including the services of many of Chicago's top illustrators - to the advertising industry in that city. Kling Studios also had branch offices in New York, Detroit and Hollywood. It must surely have been the largest graphic arts services studio in America at that time.
Finally, here's one of my favourite 50's illustrators, Rudy Pott, showing us how to do it right. If the typical marlin fishing shot is from behind the fisherman, then bring the fish right up alongside the boat so we can be impressed by its magnificent size, power and strength as it fairly leaps into our lap!
As a young man, Rudy Pott had high hopes of becoming a western artist, even moving from his native Philadelphia to New Mexico to immerse himself in the surroundings of his chosen subject matter.
But fate had other plans for Pott. Upon his return to Philly he found the market flooded with western artists and the Saturday Evening Post offering steady assignments as the regular artist on author Philip Wylie's tales of a rugged Florida fisherman, Crunch Adams.
I have more to tell you about Rudy Pott... but we'll save that for another time.
For now, take a moment to enjoy all of today's images at full size in my Fishing Flickr set.
Oh! And a quick note to go check out Jack Raglin's photostream on Flickr. Jack has just added several fishing- themed illustrations by the wonderful Enoch Bolles.
6 comments:
Interesting how the river fishing is shown from the fish's perspective, but the ocean fishing is from the boat's perspective. Thanks again for these fun illustrations!ReplyDelete
Yeah - its weird, right? And, in each case, its a fairly standardized approach repeated by artist after artist (with occassional exceptions, to be sure) that I think is kind of an interesting - if esoteric - curiousity.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comment, Stephen! :-)
- Buzz1:23 PM
Sidebar re Philip Wylie's long-running "Crunch and Des" series (I read once he wrote about 250! C&D short stories/novelettes for the post):ReplyDelete
Wylie is best known as the co-author of WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE and the misanthropic classic essay GENERATION OF VIPERS. By himself he wrote a number of well known sci-fi novels including GLADIATOR (one of the inspirations for Superman as well as the basis of a Joe E. Brown movie that pops up now and then on TCM!), THE DISAPPEARANCE (men and women shift into alternate dimensions), and TOMORROW, in which a Midwest town is devastated by a nuclear blast in loving/gory detail.
Yet arguably his most popular stories are the surprisingly calm and gentle "Crunch and Des" tales about two war buddies who run a charter fishing business in Florida. Many of the best "Crunch and Des" stories were collected about 1990; I don't know if the book is still available but I recommend it to anyone who enjoys nice, laid back, easy-going stories.
I will go fishing this weekend j/k (extended weekend here) :)ReplyDelete
Amazing illustrations once again Leif.

Re: Help me menu plan for this week!
How about potato soup use skim milk instead of whole. Can you sneak in spaghetti squash for pasta?
turkey meatloaf
Mashed cauliflower instead pf mashed potatoes
Does he like shrimp? Hummus(cheap and easy to make your own with blender or food processor)
Give him a cook book and make him pick out a new recipe to try.

Re: Help me menu plan for this week!
Will he eat a "heavy" salad? My DH is a big meat person, like he thinks he needs it at every meal. I have been splitting one meat portion over two nights so he is eating meat, but not too much. He seems pretty happy with it.
One night I make a heavy salad - Saute bell pepper, corn, broccoli, red onion, whatever veggies we have in the fridge. Let them cool. Sear a good steak (I do one ribeye to feed three people) and then slice it nice and thin, but then bit sized. Add chopped cucumber and cherry tomatoes. Toss all together with a touch of ranch and a ton of arugula or spring mix. It's super filling, so my DH doesn't classify this in his "no salad for dinner" rule.
Next night I do rib eye over baked potatoes stuffed with chives, broccoli, and a touch of sour cream OR cheese. European style sour cream is not a lot of fat or calories in comparison to American, and greek yogurt can be subbed. Same idea with the ribeye, slice it up.
So, he eats one portion of meat but over two nights, thinks he is eating meat two nights, and hasn't complained. Can you find a way to do this with his limited likes?

Re: Help me menu plan for this week!
Second bolded: That is really bad. He needs to think of you and your boys. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. There are MANY options for low calorie breakfasts. Even McD's has at least 3 breakfasts that are under 400 calories. There is a frozen breakfast sandwich (I forgot the brand name) that is less than 300 calories I think.
There are also a lot of healthier lunch options, Subway for one. Lots of options that are under 500 calories, he just needs to go easy on the cheese, mayo, etc. But he can still eat great and healthy. They even have a few different options for Baked chip flavors.
I agree with a PP to take meals he likes and tweak them so they are healthier. Use ground turkey instead of hamburger. You can use it for chili, tacos, hamburgers. You can make chicken pot pies with lean chicken and lower the fat by using half the amount of butter or a spread and skim milk. Add in pea's and carrots for extra veggies. You can serve it with lowfat cottage cheese.
Here are a few quick ideas:
Use a spread butter (we use I can't believe its not butter light) instead of regular butter.
Use light (not fat free) dressings, sour cream, mayo, etc. And realize how much of that you use. Measure it out if you have to.
Buy only skim milk for you and him. Skim milk is low in calories and fat and high in protein.
Make sure you have a lowfat/high protein snack between lunch and dinner. My fav's are pistachio's or 1 laughing cow cheese wedge w/6 triscuits, or Chobani yogurt.
No regular soda's.....horribly high in calories. Drink G2, flavored water or seltzer, regular water, iced tea
Walk!!! Walking is great exercise and will help you start losing calories.

Re: Help me menu plan for this week!
Sounds like he would benefit from some "eat to live" recipes and that he has a wonderful dr to recommend changing his diet for improved health.
Oils of any kind, even plant based, provide too many calories and too few nutrients.
Highly recommend buying the book Eat to Live (check out these success stories!) and following any of the recipes on this sister sites to the book: fat free vegan & fat free vegan kitchen. Even if you start small introducing a few of these things a week it is worth a try. Think baby steps, that is how we did it.
Many of the recipes are filling and they are all wholesome and healthy.
My dad dropped his cholesterol levels over 100 points and my dh 60 points in just a few months eating plant based. They are happy and satisfied with every meal they have been served as are my mom and myself. We are eating to live, not living to eat and are all better for it.
I am always surprised when I hear that chicken is better then beef, just compare cholesterol levels, they are almost equally as bad as a rule and chicken worse in some cases. Eating any sort of animal product should be off limits if you really want to reduce cholesterol. And for heaven's sake, don't add shrimp, it has more than cholesterol than anything just about, lol. With a whopping 152 milligrams of cholesterol per 100-gram serving of shrimp (four or five shrimp), just two servings would put you over the daily recommended allowance of 300 milligrams of cholesterol! Comps between beef and chicken
There are so many fabulous substitutes out there. We do not feel deprived in the least, we simply switched ingredients. If you ever have any questions, please feel free to pm me.
Another go to source for us is happy herbivore, she actually sells meal plans, so takes all the planning out of it. Meal plans. I have two of her recipe books, she just came out with a third, which I will be picking up soon. We follow her on Facebook and her blog, she puts plenty of recipes up in those spots. She posts many testimonials of success stories of ppl who follow her plan and plant based in general on her blog and fb.
Cow milk has lots of cholesterol too, we have converted to plant milks like almond and soy. They are delish and even taste great over cereal, in coffee and in baked goods like pancakes. We do not eat eggs either but use egg replacer. This was not an overnight switch, just found our replacements as we went along. We use earth balance for our butter spread. No cholesterol there either.
If he isn't into reading perhaps some movies would help reach him. Some good ones are Forks Over Knives, Food, Inc. and Earthlings. If he does read, try The China Study, The Engine 2 Diet and of course Eat to Live.
Good luck!

Re: Help me menu plan for this week!
I tend to have fun re-working less healthy stuff t make it healthier, can u give me some of his top faves? Maybe just some suggestions on how to tweak those will get u started my favorite switch we've made is ground beef combined 50/50 with ground turkey so it drastically reduces the fat but it's not like eating dry flavorless meatloafs, burgers and tacos and such. I too have been doing a lot of "stretching" of meats lately, taking 1# of hamburger meals and doing em with only half that, then it's only 1/4 of the fat it used to be also SMOOTHIES! You can get sooooo many good things in there, yogurt, fruits, honey, sometimes even spinach (serve it in a solid color plastic cup with a cover and dark straw and he'll never even notice its green cuz it doesn't taste like it!) ooh also check out Jessica Seinfelds cookbook deceptively delicious, she teaches a lot of fun ideas for hiding healthy stuff, so fun!

Oooh also consider switching to smaller plates, that way portions automatically get smaller but your plate still looks full, helps me a lot on the psychological front!

Deere & company capped off a very good year for sales with a two-for-one stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend. This action, taken in November, increased the number of common shares to 1,200 million.
About a week later, Deere announced that its earnings for the full year were up from the same period a year ago. Worldwide net income was $1.822 billion, or $8.01 per share, compared with $1.694 billion, or $7.18 per share, last year.
The company states that net sales of its worldwide equipment operations increased 21% for the fourth quarter and 8% for the year. Although these sales in the U.S. and Canada were flat, outside the U.S. and Canada they were up 27% for the year.
Deere agricultural equipment played a role in the company's healthy year by posting an 18% increase in sales. Deere expects worldwide sales of its agricultural equipment to be up 17% for 2008. It forecasts that industry-wide sales of farm equipment in the U.S. and Canada will be up 10 to 15% for the year.
Deere also anticipates strong ag equipment sales growth in Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), including Russia. It expects South American markets to improve 10 to 15%.

Show to air in two-hour original episodes on back-to-back nights on Oct. 29-30
"Go On" and "The New Normal" will be broadcast one hour later (10 p.m.) on Oct. 30
NBC will pack more punch to its "Knockout" rounds of "The Voice" by airing two-hour original episodes on back-to-back nights on Monday, Oct. 29 (8 p.m.), and Tuesday, Oct. 30 (8 p.m.), for a total of four hours of "Knockouts" that week.
In addition, on Oct. 30, the network will move back the broadcast times for original episodes of the new comedies "Go On" (10 p.m.) and "The New Normal" (10:30 p.m.) for one night.
At the end of the "Battle Rounds," only the strongest members of each coach's roster remain and proceed to the new "Knockout" rounds. The artists will be paired again with a member of their team, but this time they find out only minutes before performing who they are being compared against. The artists each select their own song to perform individually, while their direct competitor watches and waits. They are vying for their coach's confidence and decision to take them to the live shows. Their coach will choose the winner and the artist not selected will be sent home.
"The Voice" is the season's top-rated unscripted series in adults 18-49, according to "most current" season averages from Nielsen Media Research, with the Monday edition averaging a 4.9 rating, 13 share in adults 18-49 and 13.7 million viewers overall, while the Tuesday telecast is earning a 4.4/13 in 18-49 and 12.3 million viewers overall. Monday's "Voice" is currently the No. 1 unscripted series on ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX this season in 18-49 and the Tuesday edition is No. 2. Counting all primetime series on those networks except sports pre- and post-game shows, the Monday "Voice" is tied for No. 4 overall and the Tuesday telecast ranks No. 5.
"The Voice" returned with the strongest vocalists from across the country invited to compete in the blockbuster vocal competition show's third season. Celebrity musician coaches Christina Aguilera, CeeLo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton return along with Carson Daly as host and Christina Milian as social media correspondent.
Joining "The Voice" coaches as advisers are Billie Joe Armstrong, Mary J. Blige, Rob Thomas and Michael Bublé as they well help prep the teams for battle.

This collection of paintings represents my response to the ever-changing elemental forces which dominate the Cornish weather, affecting the landscape in so many different ways.
My work revolves around the changing seasons and weather patterns, and as a result I am acutely aware of the subtle changes which nature can have on the surrounding landscape: through my paintings I attempt to edit and interpret this into art.
While out walking the landscape, whether in driving rain, high winds or bright sunlight, I seek to immerse myself in nature. My paintings are an emotional reaction to these encounters with the elements, a visceral response to fleeting glimpses of the effects of nature on the bare bones of the landscape.
The light and the sky change constantly: with the seasons, the time of day - dawn, midday, dusk - or an approaching storm.
The hedgerows and heathland are in a constant state of flux - gorse, heather, bracken, wild flowers all come and go, vegetation turns from lush green to rusts and ochres. In high winds the exposed blackthorn and gorse writhe in twisted shapes, often eventually remaining that way. Then the sun breaks through, the sea is covered in sparkling light, and there is a subtle change in colours and shades. A lump of granite can be a dark, brooding hulk of grey, and suddenly it becomes alive with sparkling quartz.
With all today's distractions - technology, virtual worlds, appoint- ments and deadlines, it is easy to lose contact with the natural world, and I hope that these paintings will act as a reminder, and restore that connection.
Neil Davies, July 2016

After ten years of advocacy, planning, and construction, the High Line is opening. Section 1 of the High Line (from Gansevoort Street to 20th Street) will open Tuesday, June 9, offering visitors the chance to preview the park, which is still under construction. Friends of the High Line thanks all the community partners, donors, volunteers, members, elected officials, and other supporters who've made this historic day possible.
Please note that access to the High Line will be limited during June. To ensure public safety during the first days and weeks that the High Line is open, visitors on the High Line will flow from south to north. Please plan on entering the park at the Gansevoort Street access point, unless you are in need of an elevator. Elevator service is available at 16th Street, with another elevator opening in July at 14th Street. You may exit the park at any of the access points (Gansevoort, 14th, 16th, 18th, and 20th Streets).

Weaving the African Dream Through Social Innovations
It is heartwarming to observe that a number of brilliant social innovation projects are continuously driving change and progress in Ghana and the rest of Africa. Previously blogged about initiatives include BarCamp Ghana, Maker Faire Africa, Python African Tour, Coders4Africa , Sunset Sports and the Kuyu Project. Today, I simply want to point to a few more projects I find inspiring.
Tech in Education: This project is the main motivation behind today's post. Tech in Education is a 48hr gathering of ideas, people and digital tools aimed at creating novel web and mobile solutions to improve learning amongst primary and secondary school students in Nigeria. My first reaction to Femi and CP Africa's tweets was "this must be replicated in Ghana." Tech in Education resonates with the Kuyu Project's objectives. We must take advantage of the abundant tools, talents and information our modern world presents us with to mould our upcoming ones better, enabling them to become agents of social innovation. Tech in Education was birth by the Co-Creation Hub of Nigeria.
Sandlanders Football: Started originally as Keta Sandlanders, Sandlanders Football aims to use sports as a tool for community development. Currently, Sandlanders have extended their reach to across Africa and even beyond. Uganda, Liberia, Kenya and India are some countries that either already have or are planning Sandlanders teams. Club ownership is based on the co-operative model, as pertains in clubs like Barcelona, and supporters are ingeniously recruited worldwide through the power of the web. All Sandlanders teams are independently run by the respective communities, while the collective headquartered in London provides support. Sandlanders Football is affiliated with Co-operatives UK and Supporters Direct, with funding from Chembe Ventures.
Farmerline: An innovative approach to minimise the effects of climate change on poor agricultural communities, Farmerline offers up-to-date and relevant agricultural information for extension officers and rural farmers. Built by a team from KNUST, this cutting-edge voice and SMS-based mobile platform recently won third place in the West African edition of the Apps4Africa challenge. They are currently gunning for another award in the Dell Social Innovation Challenge.
Programming for Kids in Ghana: Another project in the running for the Dell Social Innovation Challenge, Programming for Kids aims at introducing Ghanaian children to computer programming and software development at an early age. Apart from the software skills they gain, the children will learn to be analytical, creative and collaborative. This project has the potential to generate a can-do attitude and problem-solving mindset, seemingly lacking in Ghanaian students, among children earlier in life. The overall impact on national development needs no restating.
Golden Baobab Prize: Desirous to curb low reading levels among young Africans, members of the Golden baobab foundation figured out that part of the problem stems from lack of quality literature that African youngsters can relate to. They therefore set up an annual writing competition that to unearth new African Children writers while churning out quality literature for the consumption of young minds. Their work is receiving loud applause from organizations such as Echoing Green, Playing for Change, African Library Project and The Global Fund for Children.
Big ups to the brilliant people who are using their intellect and sweat to bring needed change to our communities.

Didn't know much about the Tech Education in Nigeria. I guess this could fall into the Social Media nation-wide project BloggingGhana is embarking on. Training Ghanaian students how to use social media for social change would be an exciting project.ReplyDelete
The Nigerian programme is aimed at creating useful software tools for their educational sector.ReplyDelete
We had a blast last year with the Kuyu Project digital literacy camp at Ketasco. If BloggingGhana is doing social media training for schools, that'd be awesome. I'd be glad to help out.
But, like the Nigerians and Kenyans are doing we need more indigenous applications for our schools (ala paasco Africa, Exceed, etc). A hackathon for educational tools will be a great labour of love...

The west coast premiere of Heaven, Low's collaboration with choreographer Morgan Thorson is happening April 1-4 in Seattle!
Our very close, personal friends in the, let's be honest, breathtaking band Low have collaborated with the choreographer Morgan Thorson on a dance/music performance called Heaven, which will be presented at On the Boards here in Seattle April 1-4. You can find out more and buy tickets here and the full details are covered below in the press release from the folks at On the Boards. This thing sounds incredibly cool and we'd all be silly to miss it.
Plus! Both Low and the dancers from Heaven will be live on KEXP on Tuesday, March 30th at 3:00 pm, doing a combination of Low's music and original compositions from the performance.
Relatedly, and shortly after all of this happens, Alan from Low's other band Retribution Gospel Choir will be playing here in Seattle, at the Crocodile as part of their first west coast tour since the January release of their Sub Pop debut album 2. That show happens on Wednesday, April 7th. The reliably incredible Kinski will be opening that show!
And! On that same April 7th, at noon, Retribution Gospel Choir will be performing live on KEXP!
To recap (in convenient chronological order):
Low and dancers from Heaven live on KEXP at 3pm!
Heaven at On the Boards!
Retribution Gospel Choir live on KEXP at 3pm!
Retribution Gospel Choir plays at the Crocodile with Kinski!
Here's the full press release from On the Boards about Heaven:
Rising star choreographer Morgan Thorson teams with cult-favorite indie band Low in west coast premiere of Heaven
Morgan Thorson | Low
Thu – Sun | Apr 1 – 4 | 8pm | $24
(Seattle) – On the Boards (OtB) is pleased to present the west coast premiere of Heaven from choreographer Morgan Thorson and indie band Low (Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker). In this new work Thorson and her collaborators create a synthesis of music and dance in which the musicians participate in the movement and the dancers contribute to the soundscape of lush choral arrangements and minimalist instrumentation.
Exploring the emotional and physical manifestations of ecstasy, Heaven borrows from multiple faiths to find inspiration for the movement and soundtrack. Thorson's style, which draws from Skinner Releasing Technique, is also highly influenced here by poses and movements drawn from religious rituals. Equal prominence is given to the soundtrack by Sparhawk and Parker by incorporating the musicians into both the stage and the movement. Additionally, the dancers become part of the soundtrack as they sing solos and group works inspired by shape note singing alongside the members of Low.
After seeing Heaven, artistic director Lane Czaplinski commented on the unique combination of music and dance:
"Live music in a dance performance is rare. Music fully integrated into the creative process as well as the live performance is even rarer. In this case Morgan and Alan [choreographer and composer] both have a curiosity about faith and were able to pursue this question together. Watching it felt like a kind of updated Grotowski-like song cycle."
The west coast premiere of the production comes after a national tour that included stops at the Walker Arts Center (Minneapolis), PS122 (NYC), DiverseWorks Art Space (Houston) and Wesleyan University's Center for the Arts.
Morgan Thorson, originally from Connecticut and NYC, has created dance and performance in Minneapolis since 1994. Her work ranges from outdoor performance and site specific choreography to ensemble/solo improvisation and fully choreographed productions. In 2007 she toured Faker, a performance inspired by the movement and cult phenomena of Elvis, to venues such as PS 122, Institute for Contemporary Art (Boston) and the Walker Art Center's Momentum Series at The Southern Theater. Minneapolis' City Pages deemed her Best Choreographer in 2008.
Low is a Duluth-based band led by Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Rogers, with Steve Garrington. Their first album, I Could Live in Hope, was released in 1994 and inspired the creation of the genre "slowcore" style of music, so named because of the contrast of Low's minimalist soundscapes against the era's more predominant grunge sound. The band has released 12 albums since then, including a Christmas album (Low Christmas). Their tours have taken them around the world and placed them in shared bills with bands such as Radiohead and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. They have also started multiple side projects, including Retribution Gospel Choir, who will play in Seattle at the Crocodile shortly after the end of Heaven's run.
Tickets for Morgan Thorson | Low
General Admission $24 | Under 25 & opening night RUSH discounts available

|I'm glad the owner, William became a veg in 2007. The Shanghinese Won ton with ginger is very good. Don't order the wrong type of won ton. The pie pa tofu has been getting a bit too salty. Overall, I keep telling folks to check out their 7 days a week lunch box specials. It's a great bargain. Thanks Tammy and Chris for the food recommendations and dining out at Shangrila.
Reviews: 81
|My favorite restaurant in west SF, or perhaps all of SF. Lots of good food to choose from, friendly service, and good lunch specials. My omnivore parents are always willing to eat here when we are anywhere near.
Reviews: 133
|Shangri-La is a cozy Chinese Buddhist restaurant on Irving Street that serves consistently good food at good prices. This small, informal restaurant has excellent hot-and-sour soup as well as delicious dumplings and tasty twice-fried tofu. Also, for those who may be interested, the restaurant is certified kosher.
Reviews: 12
|Consistently friendly, quick service and good food. Very reasonable prices, too. Favorites - the fragrant dry bean curd (appetizer), individual bowl of won ton soup (laced with lots of fresh ginger), crispy tofu, and spicy eggplant. Good menu selection - lots of veggie options, some faux meats too, plus unusual medicinal selections (which I haven't tried but others like). Downside - we were told pie pa tofu balls are vegan (even when served with a piece of egg shell sticking out of one ball), then they aren't (have eggs), and now they are again. Have not been back since. Trust issue.
Reviews: 138
|Good food and service. Probably one of the best veggie Chinese restaurants in the Bay Area, but recent problems with mix-ups on what's vegan and not has drop it down on my list of places to frequent.
Reviews: 82
|I enjoy most of the dishes here. The food comes fast and it's fun going to a Kosher Vegetarian restaurant. The only one I've ever head of. My favorite are the chicken balls. Yummy!!
Reviews: 22
|The lamb is amazing. I think that I like everthing here. If you go during lunch time, you should try the lunch special. So much food for just under 6 dollars. Be nice to the waitress and she will be nice to you. She used to not like me for some reason, but now she does and that is so much better
Reviews: 7
|My favorite place in the city to go for lunch. Pickled vegetables, soup of the day and an entree served with a spring roll and brown rice for under 10$(including tip!). Also of note is the B3 vege lamb with dioscoria. Delicious!

|Unassuming decor, but amazing food. Favorite dishes include the sweet and sour spareribs, spicy shrimp, and duck on iron plate. Worth the trip to the Outer Sunset.
Reviews: 14
|Great Food. Fast Service. Large Portions. A single order of soup, salad and entree can easily feed two people!
Reviews: 5
|Great food and portions at very low prices. Huge potstickers. Fast service. Very tasty food and good, healthy, brown rice. Pie pa tofu is unusual, like big croquettes, crispy out/soft in--yummy.

|Not really a fan but glad that it's Kosher!

|Only complaint high oil but they will do low/no. Best won ton soup & pie pa tofu balls with brocolli. Especially good brown rice. Certified kosher, one of only 3 SF places; only veg one. Friendly!
Reviews: 65
|Our McDougall Group met here May 13 and they accommodated our advance request for vegan and no added oil completely. The service and the food were very good and the prices were quire reasonable.
Reviews: 4
|The food here is fabulous. I would highly recommend the kung pao beef which isn't listed on the menu. Service is always great and the food comes out really fast.
Reviews: 3
|My first trip was less than stellar, but with a little ordering help, my second visit was superb. Everything was fresh & perfectly seasoned. Try the dry tofu, wonton soup, "ribs" or spicy eggplant!
Reviews: 34
|Mustard Greens were extremely good. However, almost every dish/cup/silverware we had were really dirty, which put us off for good.

Throw the best Halloween party on the block with these fun Halloween party games for kids. Our Halloween party staff has put together a collection of spooky and fun Kids Halloween Party Games like Mummy Wrap Relay, Grave Keeper and more. These Halloween games are sure to be a hit at any Halloween party and they will keep your ghoulish little guests occupied before going out and trick-or-treating.
Scary Story Game
Gather your party-goers into a circle, turn down the lights and use flameless candles. Using a pack of index cards, write a scary phrase on several cards that can be used in a scary story. Once you have several cards ready, pass the stack around the circle and have each guest come up with a scary story from the line on the card for 1 minute. Once their minute is up, they pass the stack of cards on to the next guest who then adds to the story using the line that is on the card that they pulled. Each guest gets one minute to tell their story before the cards are passed along to the next guest. If you can, it's a great idea to record it so they can listen to it later.
If you're having trouble coming up with some scary phrases, download, and print out these free Halloween stories.
Eyeball Relay
Set up an obstacle course for the kids. Divide all of your guests into small teams. Give each team a ping pong ball and some paint. Have them paint an eyeball on the ping pong ball. After the ball dries, have each team line up at the beginning of the course and give the first player on each team a spoon and a ping pong ball. The first player must carry the eyeball (ping pong ball) all the way through the course and then hand it off to the next player in line. First team to complete the course with their eye and spoon wins!
Candy Guess Jar
Fill a jar with candy corn (or your kid's favorite candy) and sit it on a table. Put a small jar next to the candy jar and have each guest write down the number of candy corns in the jar. Announce the winner at the end of the party and give them the jar for their prize.
Mummy Wrap Relay
Divide all of your guests into small teams. Each team has a player that is designated as the mummy and the other team members will be the wrappers. Each team gets 1 roll of toilet paper and whoever wraps the mummy using the entire roll of toilet paper wins.
Grave Keeper
Separate your young party guests into teams and set up some work areas outside. It might get messy, so you might want to throw down a tarp or some towels to protect your yard or patio. Hand out little buckets of dirt to make grave mounds (so they won't have to dig anything), small, ratty dolls, and if you can find any miniature coffins, wheelbarrows, black cats, shovels, model-sized trees, skulls, fake spiders, webs – anything that you might expect to see in a creepy graveyard. You can spray paint them black and scuff them up a bit if you want these items to look old. Once all of the little grave keepers are ready, you can see who can create the spookiest graveyard in 15 minutes using only the tools that you provide.
Balloon Sweep
Set up an obstacle course for the kids. Divide all of your guests into small teams. Give one broom and one balloon to each team. Each player is to run the course while sweeping the balloon through the maze and return it back to the next player in line. First team to complete the course with their balloon wins.
Skeleton Scavenger Hunt
Divide your guests into teams. Hide skeleton parts throughout your graveyard and as guests hunt for the bones, one team member stays behind and puts the bones together to form a skeleton. If the team members retrieve the same body part twice, they must put it back where they found it and continue searching.
Pin the Face on the Jack-O-Lantern Halloween Game
What you need
- Orange poster board
- Black construction paper
- Scissors
- Small stick pins or tape
Cut a big pumpkin out of orange poster paper. Make his eyes and nose out of black paper triangles and a smile out of black paper as well. Blindfold each child and have them take turns pinning their face pieces onto the pumpkin. If you're not feeling very crafty, we've created a free Jack-O-Lantern printable game complete with all of the game pieces for you to print out.
