WyoRadio General Contest Rules
Contest and Promotion Rules for 106.7 KMRZ-FM
Unless otherwise specified by Radio Station KMRZ-FM (the "Station"), these rules cover routine contests and promotions conducted by the Station. These rules may be amended by separate specific rules for major contests or promotions conducted by the Station or its sponsors.
The contest or promotion (the "Promotion") will take place during the dates and times specified in the official rules of the Promotion (the "Promotion Period") or as announced on-air. The Station may change the dates and/or terms of the Promotion without prior notice. Any material changes will be broadcast on the Station and, if applicable, posted on its website located at wcbsfm.com.
Promotions conducted on-air that require telephone responses to "cues to call" are only official when heard on-air via radio. Due to delays with the Station's online streaming of its broadcast signal, listeners to the online stream may not be able to participate in or be disadvantaged in participating in certain Promotions.
To be eligible to enter or participate in the Promotion, listeners must follow the instructions set forth in the official rules of the Promotion or as announced on-air and must fulfill all of the eligibility requirements of the Promotion. Unless otherwise specified, the Promotion is open to all listeners of the Station who are legal U.S. residents, 18 years of age or older. Employees of the Station, its licensee, the licensee's parent, subsidiary and affiliated entities, Station's advertising and promotional agencies, its participating sponsors, and the members of their immediate families and/or households are ineligible to participate or win. Listeners are eligible to win a prize in a Promotion conducted by the Station only once every thirty (30) days, and listeners are eligible to win a prize in a Promotion conducted by the Station only once every six (6) months if the prize is valued at $600 or more. Only one winner per household is permitted in any Station-conducted Promotion. For on-air Promotions, there is no limit to the number of times a listener may attempt to call-in or text; however a listener may only qualify once.
Entrants are required to provide truthful information and the Station will reject and delete any entry that it discovers to be false or fraudulent. The Station will disqualify any entry from individuals who do not meet the eligibility requirements, and the Station will also delete any online entry knowingly received from persons under the age of 13 in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.
Promotion prizes and their values will be indicated when the Station announces the Promotion. Unless otherwise announced, all prizes or prize certificates must be picked up at the offices of the Station: 2717 Yellowstone Road, Rock Springs, Wyoming. Prizes may be claimed during regular business hours, between 8:00am and 5:00pm, Monday through Friday. Promotion winner(s) will be required to present valid government-issued photo identification and provide their complete address, date of birth and phone number to claim a prize. Unless otherwise permitted by the Station, winner(s) must claim his or her prize in person, and a prize cannot be claimed by third parties on behalf of the winner. If a Promotion is open to entrants under the age of 18 and a winner is under the age of 18, a parent or legal guardian must claim the prize. Failure to comply with these requirements will result in the forfeiture of the prize. A winner will forfeit any prize or prize certificate not claimed within thirty (30) days (or sooner for time sensitive prizes) of winning. Unless otherwise specified or required by law, if a prize is not claimed no alternate winner will be selected and the prize will become the property of the Station. The Station, solely at its discretion and only with the consent of the winner, may opt to deliver the prize to the winner by mail or overnight courier. In such event, the winner assumes the risk of the prize's loss and the Station will not be responsible for the safe arrival of the prize or prize certificate. There is no substitution, transfer or cash equivalent for prizes, except that the Station may, at its sole discretion, substitute prizes of comparable value or cash. Each prize is expressly limited to the item(s) announced by the Station and does not include taxes, gratuities or any other expenses. Other restrictions may apply.
Decisions of the Station's management with respect to the Promotion are final.
Potential winner(s) will be selected and notified of their prize in the manner announced by the Station. Promotion winner(s) must execute and return any required Affidavit of Eligibility and/or Release of Liability Prize Acceptance Form within ten (10) days of winning or being notified of winning (or sooner for time sensitive prizes) or prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner may be selected. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to sign and return the required affidavit of eligibility and/or liability/publicity release within the required time period, or if a prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits the prize.
Payments of all federal, state and local taxes related to the award of a prize are solely the responsibility of the winner of the prize. The winner will be required to complete and submit an IRS Form W-9 with the winner's full Social Security Number or the equivalent for receipt of any prize valued at $600 or more or for any prizes awarded by the Station in a calendar year with an aggregate value of $600 or more and such winnings will be reported to the IRS. Failure to submit a complete W-9 or equivalent will result in forfeiture of the prize.
By participating in the Promotion, the winner(s) agree to have his or her name, voice and likeness used in any advertising or broadcasting material related to such Promotion, without further compensation, and (where permitted by law) to sign a publicity release confirming such consent prior to acceptance of the prize.
Prior to awarding any prize or prize certificate, the Station in its sole discretion may require the winner of such prize (and his or her travel companion(s), if any) to sign a liability release, which holds harmless the Station, its licensee, its parent, subsidiary, and affiliated entities, their respective officers, shareholders, directors, employees, agents and representatives and all of their successors and assigns against any and all claims or liability arising directly or indirectly from the prize or participation in the Promotion. The Station is not responsible for (i) lost, stolen, mangled, misdirected, postage due, illegible, incomplete or late entries; (ii) telephone or mobile service outages, delays, busy signals, facsimile transmission errors, equipment malfunctions and any other technological difficulties that may prevent an individual from completing his/her telephone call or from sending a text message (if applicable, message and data rates may apply, and the Station is not responsible for any fees incurred by an entrant for this method of entry); or (iii) entries not received due to difficulty accessing the internet, service outage or delays, computer difficulties or other technical difficulties.
Station reserves the right to cancel, terminate or modify the Promotion as it deems necessary if it is not capable of completion as planned, including, without limitation, as a result of infection by computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention or technical failures of any sort. The Station reserves the right to make changes in the rules of the Promotion, including, without limitation, the substitution of a prize or equivalent value, which will become effective upon announcement. If due to circumstances beyond the control of the Station, any event related to the Promotion or prize is delayed, rescheduled, postponed, cancelled or has a change of venue, the Station reserves the right, but is not obligated, to cancel or modify the Promotion and shall not be required to award a substitute prize. The Station is not responsible for typographical or other errors in the printing, the offering or the administration of the Promotion, or in the announcement of a prize.
The Station, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to disqualify any person tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Station's website. Failure to comply with the rules of the Promotion may result in a contestant's disqualification and/or forfeiture of any prize or prizes. If the Station makes a good faith determination that an entrant has cheated or committed fraudulent activity in connection with a Promotion, the Station reserves the right to disqualify that entrant from entering and/or winning future Promotions.
For the official rules of a Promotion, send a self-addressed stamped envelope for receipt by the end of the Promotion Period to: Promotional Rules, WyoRadio, 2717 Yellowstone Road, Rock Springs, Wyoming, 82901. For the names of the prize winners send a self-addressed stamped envelope for receipt within 60 days following the end of the Promotion Period to the attention of Promotion Winner Lists at the above address.

The U.S. Supreme Court heard lively arguments Tuesday in a challenge to California's Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriages.
And, as many learned painfully after last year's court decision to uphold Obamacare, it is risky business to predict how justices will rule later based on questions raised in arguments.
So we won't.
Instead, here are five areas of discussion we found interesting, even if they may not prove predictive of the outcome.
Most involve Justice Anthony Kennedy, who is, once again, considered the swing vote of a court otherwise divided evenly between liberal and conservative justices. The quotes below were taken from various parts of the arguments.
1. Is same-sex marriage too new for the court to assess its effect on marriage and children?
Justice Anthony Kennedy: "I think there's, there's substantial — that there's substance to the point that sociological information is new. We have five years of information to weigh against 2,000 years of history or more."
Justice Samuel Alito: "Traditional marriage has been around for thousands of years. Same-sex marriage is very new. I think it was first adopted in the Netherlands in 2000. So there isn't a lot of data about its effect. And it may turn out to be a — a good thing; it may turn out not to be a good thing, as the supporters of Proposition 8 apparently believe. But you want us to step in and render a decision based on an assessment of the effects of this institution which is newer than cellphones or the Internet? I mean, we — we are not — we do not have the ability to see the future."
2. Is marriage just about procreation, and what's best for children?
Justice Anthony Kennedy: "On the other hand, there is an immediate legal injury or legal — what could be a legal injury, and that's the voice of these children. There are some 40,000 children in California, according to [a legal brief] that live with same-sex parents, and they want their parents to have full recognition and full status. The voice of those children is important in this case, don't you think?"
Justice Elena Kagan: " ... Suppose a state said that, 'Because we think that the focus of marriage really should be on procreation, we are not going to give marriage licenses anymore to any couple where both people are over the age of 55.' Would that be constitutional? ... If you are over the age of 55, you don't help us serve the government's interest in regulating procreation through marriage. So why is that different?"
Charles Cooper, lawyer defending Proposition 8: "Your Honor, even with respect to couples over the age of 55, it is very rare that both couples — both parties to the couple are infertile, and the traditional --
Justice Elena Kagan: "No, really, because if the couple — I can just assure you, if both the woman and the man are over the age of 55, there are not a lot of children coming out of that marriage."
3. Do those arguing before the court in favor of enforcing Proposition 8's ban on same-sex marriages, which was enacted by voter initiative, have legal standing to do so, given that California state officials — whose responsibility it is to defend the law in court — have refused to do so?
Justice Anthony Kennedy: "Basically that once the state goes halfway, it has to go all the way or 70 percent of the way, and you're doing so in a case where there's a substantial question on — on standing. I just wonder if — if the case was properly granted."
Chief Justice John Roberts: "I suppose there might be people out there with their own personal standing — someone who performs marriages and would like that to remain open to everyone but would prefer not to perform same-sex marriages, or other people. We seem to be addressing the case as if the only options are the proponents here or the state. I'm not sure there aren't other people out there with individual personalized injury that would satisfy Article III."
Justice Samuel Alito: "So start from the proposition that a state has standing to defend the constitutionality of a state law ... beyond dispute. The question then is, who represents the state? Now, in a state that has initiative, the whole process would be defeated if the only people who could defend the statute are the elected public officials. The whole point — you know this better than I do, because you're from California — the whole point of the initiative process was to allow the people to circumvent public officials about whom they were suspicious."
4. Is there a legitimate comparison between the Proposition 8 case and the landmark 1967 Loving v. Virginia high court decision that invalidated laws banning interracial marriage?
U.S. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr.: " ... The principal argument in 1967 with respect to Loving and that the Commonwealth of Virginia advanced was: Well, the social science is still uncertain about how biracial children will fare in this world, and so you ought to apply rational basis scrutiny and wait. And I think the court recognized that there is a cost to waiting and that that has got to be part of the equal protection calculus. And so — so I do think that's quite fundamental."
Charles Cooper: "I'm glad that counsel for the respondents mentioned the Loving case, because what this court — what this court ultimately said was patently obvious, is that the colors of the skin of the spouses is irrelevant to any legitimate purpose, no more so than their hair colors, any legitimate purpose of marriage, that interracial couples and same-race couples are similarly situated in every respect with respect to any legitimate purpose of marriage.
"That's what this question really boils down here, whether or not it can be said that for every legitimate purpose of marriage, are opposite-sex couples and same-sex couples indistinguishable? And with all due respect to counsel and to the respondents, that is not a hard question."
5. How might the case be limited to California?
Justice Sonia Sotomayor: "Is there any way to decide this case in a principled manner that is limited to California only?"
Theodore Olson, lawyer representing Proposition 8 challengers: "Yes, the Ninth Circuit did that. You can decide the standing case that limits it to the decision of the district court here. You could decide ... it as the Ninth Circuit did."
Justice Anthony Kennedy: "The problem with the case is that you're really asking, particularly because of the sociological evidence you cite, for us to go into uncharted waters, and you can play with that metaphor, there's a wonderful destination — it is a cliff. Whatever that was."

Despite internet connections that deliver information to the other side of the globe in milliseconds, countless industries still rely on slow and inefficient middlemen to complete transactions. From supply chain management to hi-tech contracts, blockchain isn't just about money, it's about an entirely new way to do business. Just look at our examples.
What is blockchain?
Blockchain, like the cloud, is more of a concept than a specific piece of software or hardware. It's the idea that if you store a spreadsheet or ledger on a hundred different computers — each of which receive automatic and encrypted updates — it's nearly impossible to create a fraudulent entry. If someone adds a line of false information to one spreadsheet, 99 others can confirm it is not in their copy and is therefore inaccurate.
In the Bitcoin ledger, each line represents the transfer of funds from one account to another. So if John wants to transfer money to Jane, he sends a request to Bitcoin's blockchain and thousands of computers confirm his account information is correct and he has sufficient funds. The money is transferred, both account balances are updated, and the whole process takes less than an hour with almost no human interaction. Much faster than the 5-7 business days of most banks.
There are countless applications for decentralized, real-time record keeping beyond financial transactions, though. And very soon, blockchain won't be synonymous with Bitcoin.
Blockchain's potential
Although this technology has been around since the '90s, it lacked the popularity and computing power necessary to become a mainstream solution…until now. With the rise of cryptocurrencies in 2017, blockchain started seeping into other industries, such as:
- Law – "Smart contracts" create agreements that automatically execute when their terms are met. For example, an attorney could agree to pay a courier $100 after the delivery of documents to the defendant in a case. The contract and the payment sit in the blockchain until the courier uploads a GPS-tagged photo of services rendered, at which point the money is transferred and the contract archived.
- Agriculture – Supply chain blockchains can track every ingredient throughout the production process. If several people get sick from the same food item, ingredients could be traced back to their source and products that share the same ingredients could be recalled preemptively.
- Real estate – Blockchain is being used to automate escrow account transactions, property title transfers, and insurance claims, so they aren't reliant on slow and error-prone humans. Buying a home could eventually be as easy as finding the one you want, signing a contract, transferring your down payment, and receiving the title — no middleman necessary.
Most blockchain-based solutions are too new to trust with sensitive information. But you can do a few things to get out in front of your competitors. You can work with us to invest in business intelligence software that helps you collect more data, and start experimenting with risk-free blockchain solutions.
As long as you have certified technicians like ours at your disposal, you'll be sure to see gains in no time — give us a call today!

It's a truism in the financial industry that women need to get more out of their money than men since they live longer and make less, especially if they take time out to care for children or aging parents. But it's also a given that they lack confidence when it comes to investing, something that's clear on a recent evening at the Women's Center in Vienna, Va.
A handful of middle-aged women are gathered in a small room to hear the basics of investing. One in the midst of a divorce laments that she let her soon-to-be-ex handle all of the finances. A single woman expresses a gnawing concern that she hasn't saved up enough to be able to stop working in a decade or two.
"I really don't know where to start," says Christiane Geidt, married and 46. She actually has accumulated a nice chunk, but — as is common for women — it's sitting in her savings account. Geidt is nervous about losing money if she invests, something that doesn't seem to bother her husband.
"I think men ... enjoy it more," she laughs. "It's their adrenaline, maybe, that kicks in."
Actually, research suggests it's testosterone that makes men more open to such risk. But women have something else that men don't.
"Women are terrified of retirement," says Cindy Hounsell, president of the Women's Institute for a Secure Retirement. "They're terrified of running out of money. They're terrified of becoming bag women."
Cate Blanchett delivered an Oscar-winning portrayal of that age-old image in last year's hit Blue Jasmine, in which she plays a wealthy New York socialite who has it all, loses it all and ends up delusional on a park bench.
Hounsell points out that most women don't have as much to lose; the median annual income of those working full time in 2012 was less than $38,000. She has spent her career trying to coax women to plan for and invest in their future. But too often, Hounsell says, when women do seek out financial advice, they're turned off.
"We don't want wealth management gobbledygook that we can't understand," she says. "A lot of the studies show that women want somebody that they can talk to who will say, 'How old is your mother?' and 'Who is caring for her?' and all those things. Well, they haven't been trained like that."
Financial planners, she says, have been steeped in industry jargon. And they are overwhelmingly older, white men. Still, Hounsell senses a shift. She says the big firms now have webinars, websites and entire studies devoted to women.
"I was on a panel where I almost fell off my chair," she says. "Someone was sitting there with a slide from a big consulting firm saying that people want simple, straightforward information that helps them make changes in their life. And I feel like I've waited 25 years to hear that."
At FBB Capital Partners in Bethesda, Md., Wendy Weaver gives that straight, simple talk. Compared with a generation ago, she says, women today are more likely to be single, and also more likely to make just as much, if not more, than their husbands. And yet, she says, women's attitude toward money doesn't seem to have kept pace with their expanding role in the economy.
Women are terrified of retirement. ... They're terrified of becoming bag women.
"The millennials seem to be trending back toward relinquishing control," she says, "whether that be, 'My spouse will take care of it,' or even, 'I'm still at home so my dad takes care of it.' "
Weaver even sees breadwinner wives who still let their spouse handle the finances. She worries that either they're too nervous to invest, or they fear they will offend a spouse if they ask for more say in money decisions.
"That emotion has to be removed," she says, "and just look at money as a tool, and a means to an end."
Weaver points out that back in the "greatest generation," many women handled the home finances. Sure, most didn't have to figure out 401(k)s or stocks and bonds. But — here's the irony — when women today do invest, they get even better returns than men.
"Men feel like they always have to fix things and trade whether it needs to be fixed or not," Weaver says.
One expert calls it the "remote control factor." Women, Weaver says, like to think long term. They do more research and ask more questions.
Of course, people need money to invest, and this is still a tough time for many. But Weaver and others are hopeful that for young women at least, the recent recession may have a silver lining.
"There is definitely a lot of fear," says 27-year-old Sarah Ameigh of Bethesda. She graduated from college in 2009, in the wake of the financial collapse.
"There was a mood," she says. " 'Worried' would be the best word to describe it. We all did OK in terms of getting jobs, but there's always that little voice in your head that, ugh, you just don't know what's possible."
Ameigh is grateful for her job in marketing and has already started to invest in a 401(k) and is calculating how much more she can save. A little worry, she says, might turn out to be a good thing.

Tzatziki Sauce – Can You Say Delicious?

Sisyphus. Well played, Chef John. Well played.

Playing along with Chef, I propose Zah-Tiki: I'm suggesting the first T and the second Z be silent. My logic? Well, I have heard it commonly pronounced (as you suggest) as Ta-Zee-Key, which seems like an arbitrary decision to ignore the first Z and the second T...why not the reverse? ;) Call it what you like, its delicious by any name!

Disclaimer: I'm German, but I know a little bit of Greek, and my accent is acceptable to Greek people. And I grew up with Americans in Berlin.
Not pulling your leg, the best phonetic spelling of Tzatziki is Tzatziki, well maybe Tzatzeekee.
The Greek spelling is τζατζίκι. The funny curly ζ is a Zeta, which in Greek is a voiced S, zzzz ;-)
The next best thing to Tzatziki is Tsatsiki, which is what most Germans come up with.
Definitely no Chacheekee. Greeks can't pronounce the Ch. John becomes Tson for them.
So, Tseph Tson, I hope this helps ;-) - April 16, 2013 at 7:12 PM

I would say: dza-DZEE-kee

In Sweden they pronouce it like tza-tzi-key, it's my favorite way =]

This is very similar to the recipe that I've always used (except that I'm a dill-only kind of guy).
I strain regular yogurt through a cheesecloth for a few hours, however, instead of buying the Greek kind that's so popular nowadays. I think it tends to taste more fresh and creamier, but YMMV.
Thanks for the great recipes, Chef John! - April 16, 2013 at 9:02 PM
- cookinmom said...
GYRO, GYRO, GYRO!!! Oh how great it would be to learn how to make one!
- April 16, 2013 at 9:22 PM
Pronunciation aside, this stuff is disgusting! Never understood why people like tzatziki.
- April 16, 2013 at 9:38 PM
- Unknown said...
Wow, considering how often my family buys pitas, I woud love to see how you make it! That's my first food wish. And I usually pronounce it "tsa-zee-key."

This sauce is very popular in Bulgaria and the name is "Tarator"
2 cups high quality yogurt
1 medium cucumber, peeled and finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
3 tbsp chopped fresh dill
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp minced walnuts
salt and vinegar to taste
When cold water is added (to taste), could be used as a "cold soup" during the summer.
There is another one for very hot summer days, with no yogurt:
2 cups water
1 medium cucumber, peeled and finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
3 tbsp chopped fresh dill
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp minced walnuts
2 tbsp vinegar
salt to taste - April 16, 2013 at 10:23 PM
- Unknown said...
Great video, Chef. Im Greek and these are the perfect ingredients. We use Daisy sour cream instead, very thick and tangy. If you cut the cucumber length wise down the middle and scrape out the insides with an upside down spoon you can skip the whole draining process. Cheers!

How long can/should I store this Tzatziki in the fridge for?
Would it be possible to freeze and save for later?
Thanks! - April 16, 2013 at 10:38 PM
- Chef John said...
Never tried to freeze, but lasts 3-4 days no problem.

- Judy said...
One of my very very favorite condiments in the world, for sure! I loveeee Gyros, and this is a must sauce for those, of course. I had a Greek person tell me that it is pronounced Zat-zee-kee, but I used to just call it cucumber sauce before I learned how to say it. I don't care what you call it, as long as I get to eat it! ;)
<3 Thanks Chef!! - April 16, 2013 at 11:22 PM
- etmeaney said...
Love it and make the same recipe quite often. We eat it with chicken and pitas and use a variation for our fish tacos, a little less cucumber, add jalapeno and use lime instead of lemon...yummy. Thanks!

Ja as we say jar, ji as we say jimmy, ki as we say kilo.. Or rather dza-dze-kee... I am greek btw.

I used to HATE garlic, and was not able to digest it.. Until tzatziki. I have no idea why , but really fresh almost-three-ingredients tzatziki makes garlic bearable to me. But Then I can smell it on my skin for days.. Oh well, great against moskitos!! Perfect for nights at the beach! :)
- April 17, 2013 at 4:29 PM
- NetKerveros said...
Tzatziki was the first thing I learn how to make from my mother and when I make it I spread it almost on everything. It even goes great with pizza! You made it exactly the traditional way but one difference, we add olive oil. It makes it richer in flavor... and with more calories!
- April 17, 2013 at 5:18 PM
- Kay said...
I would agree with the tzatziki pronunciation. think of saying "cats" out loud, then "cats-ah". The second syllable is the beginning of tzatziki. ts(ah)-ts(ee)-kee. :) Or if you wanna go to the second one, it's easy...as in ih-(ts-ee)-zee. That's the (kee) to it all!

Let an Armenian teach you how to say it. After all, our alphabet consists of sounds that are difficult to pronounce and which sound like you are coughing up a lung:
Armenian food wishes Chef John! We will love you forever! The world's oldest wine and oldest shoe were both found in Armenia's caves. - April 17, 2013 at 10:41 PM

I made something like this when we had gyros, my son's birthday meal. And we're not even Greek. I mean, Dutch/German?
So, my best Eastern Europen pronunciation is this:

- Food Junkie said...
Awesome recipe chef John and one of my favourite sauces. I usually really load it up with garlic.
For PickaColour and the question about freezing Tzatziki the answer is that it probably doesn't freeze well. Cucumbers tend to go to mush when frozen and the yogurt can turn lumpy. The flavour may change some as well. If one really wanted to freeze it I would suggest freezing a small batch and see if you like what you get. - April 18, 2013 at 11:49 AM
I made this last night as a condiment to serve with lamb shish kabobs and nan -- inspired by your video, of course.
The tzatziki was great! I roasted the garlic first b/c I prefer to temper the flavor a bit, and used parsley b/c my wife didn't feel like mint or dill (I think mint would have been perfect).
Turned out great -- and the perfect condiment for our shish kabob taco-like-things. Even the kids liked it!
Thanks for another great recipe Chef John! - April 19, 2013 at 10:26 AM

Made this yesterday. It is phenomenal. I may even put it on my Cheerios. Thank you!

One of my favorite condiments ever, even if I might be mispronouncing it. Don't get me started on "what's-this-here sauce".
- April 21, 2013 at 2:19 PM
- Libby said...
Chef John--You are torturing me (and my family); I've got the Greek yogurt made, and I feel like I am dying over here...waiting, pacing, hoping, praying, and ready to offer up my first born child (just kidding)...waiting for your homemade pita recipe.
- April 21, 2013 at 5:25 PM
- Nancy said...
Made this recipe just as written using 1% Greek yogurt, vinegar, both dill and mint. It's great. I tend to like a little olive oil with my (Armenian) tzatziki, even just a teaspoon. But to keep it lower in calories it can be served with optional olive oil drizzled on the top.
- May 12, 2013 at 6:21 PM
- Unknown said...
I made both your pita bread (which I made gyros out of)and the tzatziki sauce. It was very simple and delicious. Watching your recipes builds up my confidence in cooking and makes me want to try new things. Thank you Chef John.

Nice recipe Chef John but how about you stick to the cooking and leave the comments about the economic crisis out. You are American and this global crisis is the tsunami of your bank break down in 2008. But really, is that what they tell you over there? that the Greeks are responsible for the crisis? How about you read the news once in a while or if it's hard work, take a look at this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1645089/. The filmmaker is from your hometown by the way. Best, Yannis.

- Wren said...
I made this and it was delish! I used some fresh mint from the garden. It went great with some sirloin done up with salt/pepper, olive oil, and the juice of half a lemon. I figured keep it simple and sort of Greek inspired. Anyways, I just wanted to thank you again Chef John. It's awesome cooking along at home and getting a feel for the why-fores of cooking.
- June 17, 2014 at 3:36 PM
- Unknown said...
Where is the olive oil, Chef John?
Also, I think the very traditional, and VERY delicious choice is white pepper all the way! - August 11, 2014 at 10:11 AM
- Lindsay said...
This is almost the same as I make except I add a little dried dill and I also scrape out the seeds before chopping.
My favourite use for tzatziki (and yes, I pronounce it that way - didn't realise it was difficult for some people) is as a chip dip! Low of fat/calories and HUGE on flavour! I prefer this over other chip dips any day! - October 11, 2014 at 1:10 PM
- ℳata said...
too many ways to make tzatziki here in greece. try to cut the cucumber into tiny cubes. it is more refresing this way ;)
- June 23, 2015 at 9:30 AM

....I somehow messed this and the pita bread up so badly even I don't want to eat it....
- June 29, 2015 at 11:26 PM
- Olivia said...
This has to be the yummiest Chacheekee sauce ever. (Hey, if enough of us start calling it that, it's bound to catch on.) I've tried other recipes that were just ok. But this is perfect! Thank you, Chef John!
- March 26, 2016 at 11:27 PM
- Jenika said...
This was delicious! Made it tonight and will make again soon!
- April 14, 2016 at 7:01 PM
- Aias said...
Great job Chef John,
Allow me to make a few remarks
1.the grater is to small you must use a grater like this http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-CTG-00-BG-Boxed-Grater/dp/B004YZENBY
2.no need to peel all the cucumber ,you can leave 2-3 stripes for color
3.you can use a strainer instead a bowl and make your life easier
4.i always put ouzo in tzatziki ,try it!
5.you MUST use olive oil,it will make tzatziki creamy .
thank you! - May 3, 2016 at 3:37 AM

The Achilles tendon is the strongest tendon in the human body. Its purpose is to connect the lower leg muscles and calf to the heel of the foot. This tendon is responsible for facilitating all types of movement, like walking and running. This tendon provides an enormous amount of mobility for the body. Any injuries inflicted to this tissue should be immediately brought up with a physician to prevent further damage.
The most common injuries that can trouble the Achilles tendon are tendon ruptures and Achilles tendinitis. Achilles tendinitis is the milder of the two injuries. It can be recognized by the following symptoms: inflammation, dull-to-severe pain, increased blood flow to the tendon, thickening of the tendon, and slower movement time. Tendinitis can be treated via several methods and is often diagnosed by an MRI.
An Achilles tendon rupture is trickier to heal, and is by far the most painful injury. It is caused by the tendon ripping or completely snapping. The results are immediate and absolutely devastating, and will render the patient immobile. If a rupture or tear occurs, operative and non-operative methods are available. Once the treatment begins, depending on the severity of the injury, recovery time for these types of issues can take up to a year.
Simple preventative measures can be taken as a means to avoid both injuries. Prior to any movement, taking a few minutes to stretch out the tendon is a great way to stimulate the tissue. Calf raises, squats, leg curls, leg extensions, leg raises, lunges, and leg presses are all suggested ways to help strengthen the lower legs and promote Achilles tendon health.
Many problems arise among athletes and people who overexert themselves while exercising. Problems can also happen among those who do not warm up properly before beginning an activity. Proper, comfortable shoes that fit correctly can also decrease tendon injuries. Some professionals also suggest that when exercising, you should make sure that the floor you are on is cushioned or has a mat. This will relieve pressure on the heels. A healthy diet will also increase tendon health.
It is very important to seek out a podiatrist if you believe you have an injury in the Achilles region. Further damage could result in severe complications that would make being mobile difficult, if not impossible.

MonthlyData in this graph are copyrighted. Please review the copyright information in the series notes before sharing.

Release: Consumer Price Index
Units: Index 1982-1984=100, Seasonally Adjusted
Frequency: Monthly
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers: All Items (CPIAUCSL) is a price index of a basket of goods and services paid by urban consumers. Percent changes in the price index measure the inflation rate between any two time periods. The most common inflation metric is the percent change from one year ago. It can also represent the buying habits of urban consumers. This particular index includes roughly 88 percent of the total population, accounting for wage earners, clerical workers, technical workers, self-employed, short-term workers, unemployed, retirees, and those not in the labor force.
The CPIs are based on prices for food, clothing, shelter, and fuels; transportation fares; service fees (e.g., water and sewer service); and sales taxes. Prices are collected monthly from about 4,000 housing units and approximately 26,000 retail establishments across 87 urban areas. To calculate the index, price changes are averaged with weights representing their importance in the spending of the particular group. The index measures price changes (as a percent change) from a predetermined reference date. In addition to the original unadjusted index distributed, the Bureau of Labor Statistics also releases a seasonally adjusted index. The unadjusted series reflects all factors that may influence a change in prices. However, it can be very useful to look at the seasonally adjusted CPI, which removes the effects of seasonal changes, such as weather, school year, production cycles, and holidays.
The CPI can be used to recognize periods of inflation and deflation. Significant increases in the CPI within a short time frame might indicate a period of inflation, and significant decreases in CPI within a short time frame might indicate a period of deflation. However, because the CPI includes volatile food and oil prices, it might not be a reliable measure of inflationary and deflationary periods. For a more accurate detection, the core CPI (CPILFESL) is often used. When using the CPI, please note that it is not applicable to all consumers and should not be used to determine relative living costs. Additionally, the CPI is a statistical measure vulnerable to sampling error since it is based on a sample of prices and not the complete average.

We pass the location of the geothermal power plant / hot rocks project of Geodynamics where Australia has the hottest rocks on Earth, outside of volcanic areas.
Geologists think that 10 million years ago, the granites in the Cooper Basin, South Australia, were exposed at the surface. Since that time they have been covered by a sedimentary layer, four kilometres thick, that acts as an overlying blanket; trapping the heat and preventing it from escaping to the atmosphere.
The heat is created by naturally occurring radiogenic decay that heats the granite to more than 250 degrees Celsius. The granite temperatures in Europe are only 180 degrees Celsius. The granite belt in the Cooper Basin is fractured in horizontal layers and these fractures naturally contain water at very high pressures – up to 5, 000 pounds per square inch. Check out the birdlife at sunset on the flooding Cooper Creek before a delicious meal at the Innamincka Hotel, adjacent the famous old Mission station, restored as National Parks offices.

Here Burke & Wills support team lead by Brahe had waited 4 months and 4 days (a month longer than agreed) and had buried provisions for the possibility of the returning northern explorers. The support team left only a few hours before Burke & Wills return, and the supplies were possibly not found, contributing to their demise.

text: Recovery from drug or alcohol addiction is a process that can be difficult and in a lot ofways intimidating. This is why some women seeking recovery feel more comfortable in rehab programs designed specifically for women. Women who are addicted to drugs or alcohol typicallyhave personal issues that are very different than that of males. In a drug or alcohol treatment center where all the clients are women, the recovering addict will feel more relaxed and will be able to work through her personal issues that led to her drug abuse and addiction problems. Statistics show that up to seventy percent of drug abusing women report having some type of sexual or physical abuse in their past. These delicate issues are easier to address in the company of other women without fear of judgment or retaliation.

Today, roughly 20 years ago, the chart for stock WEN made a big move. What could have caused it? There could be a billion good reasons. We at NoisyStocks have no idea what those reasons are. Instead of a careful & nuanced analysis, we have calculated this chart using a special throw-spaghetti-at-a-wall-and-see-what-sticks algorithm. Our marvelous approach takes random variables and makes wildly spurious correlations.
