Hall of Fame
What do a paperboy, a pinup girl tattoo and a marathon runner have in common? Nothing. Besides our Hall of Fame.
We've had 7,645 people try for the Hall since 2001. But only 170 have been inducted. Read the unbelievable stories that got them in.

It was 1940 and I was 16 years old, a friend told me that White Castle was going to be conducting job interviews that upcoming Saturday morning. WOW! Who wouldn't want to work for White Castle?
That Saturday morning I arrived about 8:30 a.m. and was told to get in line outside but to not block the door. I was about fifth in line which quickly grew to about forty people. We were addressed outside by a Mr. Bill Smith, supervisor. He advised what the job was to be all about, besides cooking hamburgers, neatness, politeness, quickness and cleanliness. There were 8-hour shifts. Mr. Smith conducted one-on-one interviews. When he was done it was just five of us remaining. The supervisor told us to report to a White Castle owned building at 74th Vincense Avenue in Chicago at 8:00 a.m. the following Monday for further instructions.
I was very excited! It was known on the street that it was very difficult to obtain employment at White Castle as they were very choosy about who they hired. Monday morning myself and several other lads reported for instructions. We were taught how to cook Sliders the "White Castle way", how to make coffee by the urn, how to slice the onions and how to slice the buns. In those days we did it all by hand. As you can imagine we had to take turns on the onions. We were given explicit instructions on the cleanliness of our Castle: when your shift was done for the day you left a clean new urn of coffee for the next shift and a spotless clean Castle.
Our training class continued for one week and we all took home the "mistakes" as in those days there were no freezers. We all graduated and I was assigned to a White Castle location at 104th and Torrence in Chicago. I thoroughly enjoyed my job at White Castle. Incidentally, we were allowed to eat up to a total of one dollar worth of food a day. The hamburgers back then were only five cents a piece and the pecan pies were fifteen cents a piece. I can tell you that very few of us were able to eat a whole dollar's worth!

I've been a "craver" from childhood growing up in Northern Jersey. After a tour overseas in the Air Force, I ended up in Las Vegas with the US Air Force Thunderbirds. Each year my fellow technician and I would divide up the trips, and I would always have my White Castle fry bag with the White Castle cities on the back, so I would know which trips would put me close to a White Castle (This was 1988-1990 before store locators).
One time we stayed at a hotel in St. Louis across from a White Castle. My plan was to eat there for lunch and dinner all three days so I would get sick of them, and rid myself of this craving once and for all. I ate there twice a day for three days, and when I returned to Las Vegas, I thought, "man, I could go for a White Castle right now!" Another time we had an air show in Battle Creek, MI, and we were only there for one night. So, late at night I dug through the phone book to find the closest White Castle away from Detroit to Battle Creek (Pre-internet again). I found one in Ann Arbor, and it was a long drive in the middle of the night, but it was worth it!
Now in my post-military days I still live in Las Vegas, and I occasionally plan vacations where there are White Castles. I am currently a mechanic for Southwest Airlines, and recently I (along with some co-workers) sent some money with our pilots on a flight to St. Louis to be handed to our mechanic there. The following day he picked up a Crave Case near the airport, and handed them to the crew of another flight headed back to us (the case rode in the cockpit). I was waiting at the gate to grab the case, and that day in Las Vegas, some craving mechanics ate well!! Cravers Hall of Fame material? I think so.

A life long passion for me has always been White Castle. I can remember going to the White Castle in my hometown of Old Bridge, NJ. I know that I went as a child and I'm not afraid to admit that I was not blown away. It wasn't until my teenage years that I really started to develop what many experts are calling "cravings."
I am currently researching a possible connection between puberty / hormonal balance and the increase of White Castle cravings. Naturally, as the years passed, my cravings only increased. White Castle had become a regular part of my daily well balanced diet.Then it was time to be a proper adult. I thought my life would change, that I would no longer need the crutch of White Castle at 5am. I was wrong. The "cravings" only increased. And whoever is the person, who in the future, should have the audacity to decide to make White Castle not a 24 hour, 7 day a week establishment should be stoned in public. When my career as a television producer finally started to take off, I found myself in beautiful sunny California. Filled with beautiful women and beautiful women and beautiful women, and did I mention the weather – but yet – something was missing, something very primal was absent in my life.
It was the cravings that could only be satisfied by one thing. (And yes we do have frozen White Castle burgers and cheeseburgers available for purchase at finer grocery stores in California). But what I was really after were those chicken ring with cheese sandwiches with an oh-so subtle heaping helping of honey mustard sauce.Then suddenly it happened, and all my prayers were answered.
I had already been working on the hit primetime, Emmy Nominated CBS television show Undercover Boss. Then the news hit that we had White Castle on board to participate in an episode. My mouth immediately began to salivate. My normal job as supervising producer is to oversee the edit of the show; to take the footage from the field and craft it into an hour of television. How could that possibly satisfy my cravings? Having to look at those burgers steam cooking over a bed of onions but not getting to savor the smell. To hear the first sizzles and see the chicken rings rise to the surface of the fryer. It would be absolute torture. I had to do something. So I offered to go out into the field and direct the episode.
It was a fascinating experience, and along the way I met some incredible people – the people behind the scenes who make each White Castle restaurant the oasis of hope it is for so many of us…and I met some customers, who like myself are pretty devoted to the Castle. One night when we were filming a Russian immigrant who even offered to give me a ride in his limousine at 2 in the morning – a bright yellow stretch, with a giant chicken on top of it – I declined.
Instead of being kidnapped for a crazy cross country limo tour, I took the road less traveled, and got to have Chicken Rings for breakfast, lunch and dinner – and after resisting the urge to stuff my pockets with extra honey mustard packets, realized this is one food I'll never tire of…Thank you White Castle. You truly are what Alex craves.

Fort Smith , AR
brothers and I were born in Chicago,
Where the Cubs, Bears and White Sox all made our smiles glow.
And the El-train and Lakefront were sights to behold,
But we treasured one thing more than all that, and gold.
Because wherever we went, was the wonderful sigh,
Of a Castle for burgers, all made of White.
My brothers and I lived in White Castle heaven,
And each time we went there, we had six or seven.
Then one day, some news, turned our blue skies gray,
My dad's job had transferred us far, far away.
Where they didn't have Sliders, great shakes and fries,
Life without White Castle brought tears to our eyes.
We'd lie in our beds and cry out in the night,
As each of us dreamed about a castle of white.
We'd buy frozen boxes of Sliders, which helped us a little,
But we longed for some fresh ones, hot off the griddle.
As each of grew up, Chi-town called us home,
The pull of White Castle would not leave us alone.
It wasn't the money or great jobs we'd embrace,
But the thought of those Sliders stuffed in our face.
Baseball has Cooperstown, and we know Cleveland rocks,
And Canton's the Hall of Fame for the great football jocks.
But the Hall that I hope for, when they write my bio,
Is the Cravers Hall of Fame in Columbus, Ohio!

This story I'm sending you is actually about my little sister Faith, who happens to be 11 years old this year. Her story is so cute I thought I would share it. Our town happens to be in the middle of nowhere, a typical quiet rural town, and Faith has not traveled very much. The first Faith heard about White Castles was when she saw the burgers in the freezer section of our local grocery store.
Now my family has always been big fans of White Castle but since we moved to Iowa 15 years ago there wasn't one in our area. They seemed to be all over in Indiana but nowhere in Iowa. Anyway, Faith had never heard of White Castle so when my dad eagerly bought that fist box of frozen sliders we all waited to see Faith's reaction to them. She LOVED them! In fact, it became her favorite Sunday night snack.
Last year my parents and Faith took a vacation to Indiana. Knowing she enjoyed White Castle hamburgers so much my dad made sure to stop at a White Castle restaurant. Faith had no idea the restaurant even existed, so when she saw the building she practically screamed with delight! She thought she was at the 'official' White Castle museum! She was totally amazed and kept saying "I can't believe we're actually here! What a great place to go for vacation! Look! We're actually here!"
She had just assumed White Castle was only a brand name and not an actual place. My parents couldn't stop laughing and tried explaining to her that there are many White Castle buildings but Faith was convinced this was part of their vacation sight seeing. She had her camera out and was taking pictures of the 'museum' that sold her favorite food! She was so excited about getting to eat at the 'official' White Castle she started begging my parents the whole way home if she could have her room decorated like White Castle!
Although I think it has finally sank into her head that other White Castles exist, she had an awesome vacation because of White Castle. She will still tell you that was her favorite part of the vacation and my dad will tell you he wishes every vacation could be that inexpensive! Who needs Six Flags when a simple trip to White Castle will do!
One little girl was made very happy because a place called White Castle really did exist. The pictures of her and her 'vacation to White Castle' are taped to her desk now. And by the way… she is still begging mom and dad for her dream room decorated like a White Castle restaurant!

My wife and I have been spending Valentine's Day at White Castle since shortly after we married in 1993. It has become a tradition we enjoy very much as the restaurants go out of their way to make it memorable with candlelight, tablecloths, and even waiters. Often we dress in our best outfits and, though I have yet to do it, I intend to rent a limo at some point.
In 2001 I hired a wonderful harp player to serenade us at the Bloomington, MN restaurant while we enjoyed our White Castles. I had to pull a few strings as the harpist had another Valentine's Day booking that night and could only play early in the evening.
I called the WC manager and moved our reservation up to 5:30, earlier than they were even making reservations. I told my wife it was the only reservation I could get and enjoyed the look on her face when they seated us at the table next to the harpist. As a musician I have to say the acoustics were great! The manager even contacted a local TV station and we ended up on the news that evening. It was an enjoyable and unforgettable night.

Why should I be a White Castle Hall of Famer? Maybe because I have the greatest Slider streak known to man – over 218 straight weeks of White Castle! That's right, I've had White Castle once a week for 218 straight weeks (since June 2004). Maybe it's a story you want? Well I got one for ya…
I was in Norfolk, Virginia on business two years ago. Normally, I would leave every Sunday and come back every Friday night (just in time for WC night). On a Wednesday, my team received news that there was a big snow storming hitting the east coast (I am from The Bronx). I asked my manager and senior at the time if they wanted to change from flying back to NYC to taking a train from Washington DC (the only destination with normal train schedules). My manager declined but my Senior stated that it would be a great idea. So I changed our flights from going to NYC to Washington DC in order to get an Amtrak train back home (the times out of Norfolk didn't pan out). Good idea right? Wrong. On Friday morning we received news that our flight to Washington DC was canceled. My manager received news that all flights to NYC were canceled Friday and Saturday. My streak which was about a year and a half old was in danger of being ended.
Friday afternoon my manager asked me if I could look up other possible destinations to take the train home. I found out that there was a train leaving out of Richmond, VA at 7 PM and would get us into NYC by 3 AM. My manager threw me the keys and said "lets go!" One problem stood in the way, it was a rental car and we couldn't take it and leave it up in Richmond. We asked around how long it would take to get to Richmond and how we could get there. Finally, a decision had to be made…so we chose a cab. That's right a 3-hour cab ride!
We packed up our stuff at the client's office in about 4 and a half seconds and rushed to the car (I left a ham and cheese sandwich in the conference room, it was a nasty sandwich). Before long it was 3 PM, could we possibly make it? We dropped off the car at the airport and jumped into a cab (that cost $300 by the way). The cab driver dashed, speeded, took short cuts. It all seemed possible! Until…we got to the train station at 7:30 PM. We missed the train, the cab driver said he would take us to NYC for an extreme fee, we didn't budge. WC night was ruined, that is for Friday night but how about Saturday night?
The train schedule read the next train was Saturday morning at 6 AM. Up bright and early and ready for the trip back up, we arrived in NYC at 2 PM and that night my streak continued. I enjoyed 6 cheeseburgers and a sack of onion rings, it was worth it. After all, its what I crave and I crave it every single week! Being in the White Castle Hall of Fame means the world to me.

Growing up as a kid just outside Chicago, it was my dad that first got me started on White Castle burgers. Every so often we would take a trip to a local pond to do some fishing and our time together would always end with a trip to White Castle for some burgers with extra pickles. These weekend trips would continue for a number of years until I was 18 and my dad had been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
After stretching his 6 month life expectancy to almost 3 full years, my father started to wear down towards the end and could no longer eat solid food for the last few months of his life. One day he awoke from a minor coma he had been in for 2 days and out of nowhere asked for a sack of sliders with "extra pickles." Knowing that this could be his last meal, I rushed over to the local White Castle and picked up a sack, brought them home and we enjoyed them together one last time before his death shortly thereafter.
A few years later, I took my girlfriend at the time to White Castle and without ever telling her the story, I asked what she wanted and she replied "I want 3 Sliders with extra pickles." I was in shock to the point that this had to be some kind of funny sign from the old man above that this had to be the right girl for me, as I never heard anyone order White Castles with extra pickles before!
Needless to say, that girlfriend is now my wife, Martina Bemis. And after telling her my father's story, we had to find a way to incorporate our love of White Castle into our wedding somehow. So, we went out before the end of the reception, snuck in a few Crave Cases and handed them out to all of our guests which was a huge success as everyone loved them!

The first time I visited Ohio was in 1995, coming from Bogota, Colombia (where I am originally from). My father-in-law invited our whole family to his favorite French restaurant called "White Castle" ("uaite casele" pronounced with French accent).
I was so excited because my husband, an Ohioan by nature, loved and talked all the time about these super special, unique burgers throughout the first year of our marriage. As a Colombian, I was expecting something with great flavor, nutritive, not too big and not too small, the perfect size: petite, pequeño, picolo, as well as offering a wide menu variety for picky eaters like me. Visiting the French restaurant, as the Wise family refers to it, was a great experience recorded on my mouth, my head and in my heart, now that my father-in-law is no longer with us.
While we lived in Houston, TX, we were so lucky to have found the little burgers at a local grocery store in the frozen department, but the happiest times are when we drive 1,900 miles to visit the family in Ohio and enjoy a freshly made crave case. We like to bring a case home as a surprise dinner for the family!
When we moved to Brazil, three years ago, our family made us so jealous when we would talk over the phone as they would mention how they had dinner at our favorite French restaurant the previous day. Our family made three visits to Ohio during those three years in Brazil, and we were always welcomed at the airport with a crate of burgers.
We have been back in Houston for a little while now and we are very lucky to have found our little burgers at a local supermarket after looking everywhere for them.
Thank you for thinking of Ohioans married to Colombians with good taste buds, who live in Houston! Our trip to Ohio is planned in the summer, wait for us White Castle, we'll be there soon!

My time as a White Castle craver began 1942 at the age of five. My family had moved from Bowling Green, Kentucky to New Albany, Indiana and my grandparents lived just outside of Frankfort, Kentucky. About two times a month we would go visit them and on our way home my dad would stop at a little hamburger joint in St. Mathews, Ky. They even had a drive up window. I remember eating four hamburgers and an orange drink that was the greatest meal anyone could give me. After a few trips to Kentucky, on the way home I would go to sleep. My dad told me after I was a teenager that he had to keep the car moving because if it stopped I would jump up and say I wanted six hamburgers and an orange drink. This went on for years and I kept on eating the little hamburgers.
As I got older I became aware that the little joint was called White Castle. When I was old enough to drive, I discovered a White Castle in Louisville. A few of my friends and I would go often for a treat. My order was always at least one dozen Sliders.
As the years went by I married and had two daughters. We moved to Columbus, Indiana and every Friday we would drive to New Albany and bowl with my parents. After bowling we would go to White Castle for a midnight snack and believe it or not my whole family was hooked on White Castle hamburgers.
In 1969 we moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado and there were no White Castles around. After a year or so we drove to New Albany to visit. On the way we stopped at White Castle for a treat. For that week every time anyone asked what we wanted to eat, it was the same answer, "White Castle hamburgers!" When we left New Albany, so did 100 White Castles.
My mom and dad came to visit and when we picked them up at the airport I could smell the Castles. They never came to visit without bringing at least fifty White Castle sliders. So it was a double treat when they came, we got to see them and we had White Castles.
In 1972 we moved to Ogden, Utah and no White Castles. My mom and dad called and said they were coming to visit and we said "bring White Castles!" When we picked them up at the airport, one of the first things we said was "where are the White Castles?" The reply was they couldn't carry a bag of hamburgers on the plane. When we picked up the luggage, my dad said, "Be careful with that bag, it's full of White Castles." We pigged out that night.
In 1980, we moved to Rock Springs Wyoming and again, no White Castles. By this time our two daughters were married and my wife and I were alone. We flew to Louisville and my brother picked us up at the airport. We went straight to Indiana and I pointed out we didn't go to White Castle, he chuckled a little and kept on driving. He pulled into the driveway at my parent's home and still no White Castles. When asked what we wanted for dinner I said "White Castles, but I'll settle for something closer to home." My dad said, "Let's go get White Castle" and I replied that it was too far, he said "Let's go!" So we drove across town to Spring St. and there it was, a White Castle in New Albany.
When it was time to return home I asked my wife where the empty suitcase was and she said, "Why did you bring an empty suitcase?" my answer was "White Castles." We had to be at the airport by six the next morning, so I told my brother we had to leave before five o'clock and he said we were only twenty minutes from the airport. I informed him that we had to make a stop on the way and that I had an empty suitcase that had to be filled. The next morning at five AM I put the suitcase on the counter at White Castle and said "fill it up." I am sure this was the first time the lady at the register had ever had an order like that, she asked me how many was that and my answer was "I have no idea, just fill it up please."
At that time, the White Castle in New Albany, Indiana came to life. They started heating extra grills and cooking hamburgers. The suitcase held ninety-four White Castles and I told them to make it one hundred and that I would eat the other six on the way to the airport. One of our friends picked us up at the airport and on the way home he asked, "What is that smell?" I said, "Is it good or bad?" he answered, "Good." I told him it was White Castle sliders. He replied, "Well I've listened to you talk about White Castle for a long time and now it's time for me to try one myself," so I answered, "One won't be enough." My wife opened the suitcase and he had his first, second, third, fourth, fifth then sixth White Castle. He then took a dozen home so his wife could try them. By the time all our friends tried a few, there were not many left but that was a good thing, a lot of people were now hooked on White Castles.
In 1984 we moved to Cody Wyoming and no White Castles. In 1989 we flew home for Christmas and had White Castles. When we went to the airport I had two crave cases as my carry on luggage. As we were going through the airport another traveler said to me, "You must be going home. I can tell by the luggage you are carrying."
My dad passed away in 1990 so we flew home again and we had White Castles for a week and we took two crave cases home with us.
In 1996 we moved to Collinsville, Oklahoma and again there were no White Castles around. We drove to New Albany three times while we lived in Collinsville and each time we would take a large cooler home with us, it would hold one hundred and fifty White Castles. The cooler was electric so we plugged it in the lighter socket in the car and had hot White Castles when we arrived home. When our neighbors would see us pull in they all knew we would have a party that night and the food would be White Castles.
In 2007 we moved to Bumpass, Virginia and once again, no White Castles. That was not so bad because we were only about five hundred and fifty miles from New Albany and we made the trip three times. Each time we returned with two or three crave cases.
At the age of 73, I still crave White Castles and I am not finished hauling the best little hamburger across state lines. There is one thing that keeps me feeling young and active and that is eating White Castle hamburgers.
Now we could have frozen White Castles from the grocery stores most places we have lived and we have eaten lots of them, but there is nothing like pulling up to a White Castle drive-thru and getting a couple of bags of hot off-the-grill White Castle sliders. NOTHING IN THE WORLD LIKE IT!

My story is of 45 plus years of loving White Castle. It all started around 1963, well actually before that to be honest. My dad and mom starting eating White Castles when they were only 5 cents each. When I came along dad, Acie Elam, started taking me on an all day trip to get bags, yes I said bags, of White Castles. At earliest memory we would go from Dayton, Ohio to Columbus, Ohio to eat in a White Castle restaurant and then bring back dozens of them for later. When I was old enough to ride behind him on his 1959 Harley Davidson we would go either to Columbus or Cincinnati and pack the saddle bags and tour-pack full of White Castles. I knew we could only get 13 dozen to take home. Dad would let me order them, so I could get a kick out of the expression on the cashier's face. They weren't even sure I could carry 13 dozen Sliders, they would usually ask me what I was going to do with them. I would answer by stating that I would "eat happy for a week."
We rode like this all summer and would drive in the during the winter. I was 17 when I got married and got my husband hooked on the small tasty hamburgers. We would hunt down White Castle restaurants just to enjoy our tasty treat. I continued this tradition with my children and to this day we do not go to Lexington without eating at White Castles. I recently took my grandson for his first White Castle Slider and took lots of pictures.
My Dad has passed away now and for the last several months of his life we made trips to Lexington from West Liberty, Kentucky (which is about a 2 hour trip) just so he could eat at White Castle. I now ride a Harley of my own and I have my Dad's old Harley hat. I talked a White Castle employee out of a White Castle lapel pin to put on my hat, because I love those little burgers so much and it reminds me of my Dad.
When we go to Lexington now I still buy dozens to bring home and I "eat happy for a week!" The only problem is that my sons now know what the Crave Case looks like and I usually have a hard time keeping my Sliders to myself. My second husband likes them just as much as I do and like I said, we stop at every White Castle we come across. Every time I stop, I always get one extra burger to take to my Dad and I place it next to his White Castle mug at the foot of this final resting place. This is why I think I belong in the White Castle Cravers Hall of Fame, because this is a family tradition. It is the Elam family tradition, which is now in to the fourth generation and hopefully will continue beyond.

Quality vs. Quantity: TV Guidelines for Kids
When to Tune in or Turn Off
So how much TV is too much for your kids? The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no more than one or two hours per day of "quality screen time" for children aged 2 and older. Screen time refers to television, movies, video games, and surfing the Internet.
To make the most of TV time, parents should use a program guide to choose quality children's shows and watch with their children whenever possible, Singer says. She adds that parents should stick to the two-hour limit even when it's too cold or rainy to play outside. She suggests music, games, toys, books, art projects, and finger paints as rainy-day alternatives to TV.
As for children younger than 2, the Academy's recommendation is no television at all. Buttross, who heads the division of child development and behavioral pediatrics at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, says more research is needed on how TV affects this age group. "There is such rapid brain development going on during the first couple years of life. Language development is supposed to be rocketing from bare minimal cooing to sentences by the age of 2. Interactive learning is so important."
Singer agrees. "Children under 2 need to touch, feel, taste, smell, and explore their environment. Their major experience should be play and interaction with human beings. TV is not really adding anything to a child below the age of 2."
But developmental psychologist Deborah L. Linebarger, PhD, says it's premature to advise against all television for babies. Linebarger, an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School for Communication, tells WebMD, "There's not enough evidence to make a recommendation either way. To save parents' sanity, we should give them some cautions but go with the moderation approach."
Keeping an Eye on Content
In Linebarger's view, content is much more of a concern than quantity. Kids are better off watching moderate amounts of educational programming than even small amounts of shows with inappropriate content, she says. "It's not whether to let them watch. It's what you let them watch."
Linebarger's own research indicates a connection between certain educational TV programs and enhanced language skills in very young children. "We followed kids from 6 months of age to 2.5 years, tracking language development as measured by vocabulary and expressive language use. Depending on the show characteristics, the relationship to language development is positive or negative. At least for babies, they need a very linear narrative with a lot of repetition within the episode and very clear sequences and story patterns."
According to the study, which appears in the American Behavioral Scientist, watching Dora the Explorer, Blue's Clues, Arthur, Clifford, or Dragon Tales was associated with greater vocabularies and higher expressive language scores at 2.5 years old. But the study involved only 51 children, and Linebarger stresses that it's too soon to say whether the TV programs were responsible for the improved language skills. "I think this research highlights areas where television could be OK for young children, but it's imperative to choose appropriate television and use it in moderation."

If Your Doctor Prescribes LINZESS for You, Remember to:
FILL your LINZESS prescription at your pharmacy right away. By filling your prescription, you may be on your way to relief. Store LINZESS at room temperature (68°F to 77°F), and keep your LINZESS in the bottle it comes in. Keep your LINZESS bottle tightly closed, in a dry place, and keep the desiccant (drying agent) in the bottle.
TAKE one capsule a day, every day, as directed by your doctor. Take LINZESS on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before your first meal of the day. Swallow LINZESS capsules whole. Do not break or chew the capsules. If you miss a dose, skip the missed dose. Just take the next dose at your regular time. Do not take 2 doses at the same time.
TALK to your doctor about how LINZESS is working for you. The more you tell your doctor, the better he or she can help you understand how LINZESS may help you manage your IBS-C or CIC symptoms.
Keep LINZESS out of the reach of children.

LINZESS can cause serious side effects, including diarrhea, the most common side effect, which can sometimes be severe. Diarrhea often begins within the first 2 weeks of LINZESS treatment. Stop taking LINZESS and call your doctor right away if you get severe diarrhea during treatment with LINZESS.
Other common side effects of LINZESS include gas, stomach-area (abdominal) pain, swelling, or a feeling of fullness or pressure in your abdomen (distension). Tell your doctor if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away. These are not all the possible side effects of LINZESS. For more information, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
In addition, call your doctor or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away if you develop unusual or severe stomach-area (abdominal) pain, especially if you also have bright red, bloody stools or black stools that look like tar.

Chris, as many tile roofs as there are by you, there should be a reclamation yard somewhere that you can find some matching tile. Pull some from a less oblivious section of the roof and use those where the chimney was if it's a high visibility area.
The reclaim yard only had the off color. I searched and searched. The worst part was the more you wanted them the more expensive they got. It's in the least visible spot already. I'll hit them with some spray paint and forget about it.ImageUploadedByHome Repair1405658319.539416.jpg
I would have lifted them from the neighbor when he wasn't looking.
Me to but they are all different than mine. My house was built ten years after all the neighbors. It was the parking lot for the models.
It honestly isn't even that noticeable.
It looks great from my house.
I figure if you're looking at my roof you have more issues than I need to worry about.

"They've been ahead of the curve so far," Carroll said..
Welcome to the next generation of NFL offense, which has followed college football's lead in pushing the pace. The Patriots even got an inside look at what Chip Kelly has done at Oregon..
"The fact that they've studied with Chip, and he's kind of helped, I'm still kind of pissed," Carroll joked..
New England's emphasis is tempo, and Belichick said his team has a variety of ways to communicate, relaying and echoing signals while keeping the defense from getting a bead on the timing..
"They're doing their own offense," Carroll said, "but they're featuring the tempo, and the philosophical approach of playing with that kind of speed. It's very common in college. It's not in the league.".
And the key to the approach is the guy behind the wheel of the offense.
"You can't get better than Tom," Carroll said. "Tom has command of the whole thing.".
He has some help. Wes Welker is an excellent slot receiver who caught 13 passes last week. Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, whom the Seahawks expect to face Sunday after he missed the last three games, are two dynamic tight ends.
"They have every weapon you could want," Carroll said..
But when Brady steps under center Sunday, Seattle will get its first chance to see how he deals with the decibels at CenturyLink Field..Credit: Seattle Times/Seahawks Scout board.Everyone saying the "correct thing" these days, - like BB has always done.

The Carolina Hurricanes (13-13-7) will finish their four-game road trip and look for their first win during the stretch tonight against the Phoenix Coyotes (18-8-5) at 8 ET. The game will be televised on Fox Sports: Carolinas and broadcasted on the radio at 99.9 FM The Fan.
The Hurricanes and Coyotes met earlier this season with Phoenix earning a convincing 5-3 win over the Canes. Anton Khudobin was in net for the Hurricanes in that game and Rob Klinkhammer scored twice to lead the Coyotes.Hurricanes Lineup Jeff Skinner – Eric Staal – Tuomo Ruutu Nathan Gerbe – Jordan Staal – Alexander Semin Jiri Tlusty – Riley Nash – Elias Lindholm Drayson Bowman – Manny Malhotra – Patrick Dwyer Andrej Sekera – Justin Faulk Ryan Murphy – Ron Hainsey Jay Harrison – Tim Gleason Cam Ward/Justin Peters Scratches: Mike Komisarek and Brett Bellemore (Injured). Kevin Westgarth and Radek Dvorak (Healthy). Coyotes Lineup Tim Kennedy – Martin Hanzel – Radek Vrbata Rob Klinkhammer – Mike Riberio – David Moss Mikkael Boedker – Antoine Vermette – Kyle Chipchura Jordan Swarz – Jeff Halpern – Paul Bissonnette Keith Yandle – Connor Murphy Oliver Ekman-Larsson – Zybnek Michalek Michael Stone – David Schlemko Mik Smith/ Tho Greiss Scratches: La Korpikoski and Sha Doan (Injured).
Hurricanes Outlook: The Canes haven't won a game in their three-game road swing against Western Conference opponents, but have managed to earn two points by going to overtime against the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames.
As has been the case lately, against the Flames the Hurricanes played well, but couldn't earn a win as Karri Ramo played big in net, only allowing one goal.
The offense needs to start finishing its chances. It's hard to do that against a hot goalie, but the team isn't winning games because pucks aren't going into the net. With Alexander Semin getting a second game, he should start to get back to where he was before the injury.
Justin Peters played strong against the Flames, but no starter has been announced yet.
Brett Bellemore skated yesterday in a full-contact jersey, as did Elias Lindholm, who was injured against the Flames. Nothing was said on whether or not they would play tonight.
Coyotes Outlook: The Coyotes are coming in with a two-game winning streak and points in three of their last games. They played the Oilers, Flames and Canucks last week (the three teams the Canes saw during this stretch), earning a 1-1-1 record.
On Thursday night, Phoenix beat the New York Islanders,6-3, scoring four goals in the second period. Mike Smith earned the win in net.
Despite not having a real offensive leader, especially with Shane Doan on injured reserve, the Coyotes have had no problems scoring with six players scoring over 20 points, not including Doan, who has 23. Four players have also scored nine goals this season.
The Coyotes rely on their defense to spark the offense often, specifically Keith Yandle and Oliver Ekman-Larsson. The Canes have to be aware of the speedy, offensive-driven d-men on Phoenix's back-end tonight.
A recap will be posted after the game.

Oh how this city makes me proud.
Burritoeater.com aims to be the Web's most complete source of information on San Francisco taquerias – where they're located, what they look like, if they're open late, whether they serve breakfast, what the SF Department of Public Health says about them, which ones double as cell phone retailers, etc. etc. And while we realize that food may be one of the most objectively regarded things in life, we're not shy about offering our opinion on any given burrito shop in town.
I tend toward El Farolito for burritos (mostly because it's nearby), Can Cun for quesadillas, and Toyanense for tacos.

The classic heartwarming story of a widowed Kansas farmer with two children who places an ad in the newspapers seeking a wife. He receives a response from a Sarah Wheaton of Maine who says she will visit the family for a month to see how things work out saying "I will come by train. I will wear a yellow bonnet. I am plain and tall." The joys and challenges of everyday life are richly depicted in this exquisite, sometimes painfully touching tale.

The most celebrated of all fairy-tale characters is back in Rodgers and Hammerstein classic. The ultimate rags-to-riches story sparkles in a far-away kingdom where princes, fairy godmothers, pumpkin carriages and soaring sweeping musical moments take you and the whole family on humor-filled flights of fancy and delight. Enchantment abounds in this newer version drawn from the ABC-TV production featuring Whitney Houston and Brandi.
In Kaufman and Hart's 1940s comedy, famed author and personality Sheridan Whiteside, invited to dinner during a speaking tour, slips on the doorstep, breaking his hip. A tumultuous six weeks of confinement follows as the irascible and disagreeable invalid takes over the host family's home and destroys their domestic tranquility with the arrival of strange and exotic get-well gifts, a parade of celebrity friends, and a devious plot to undermine his secretary's budding romance.
An action-packed play that illustrates the choices we make between doing what is right and doing what satisfies our greed. Two gold diggers find themselves on opposite sides of this equation as they encounter fairies, spriggans and the Greedy Bogle, who answers questions in exchange for gold. The treasure is discovered but is guarded by magic and a 13-bell warning.
With hilariously witty and heartbreakingly moving moments of adoration, regret and desire, this sweeping musical explores the tangled web of affairs centered around actress Desirée Armfeldt, the men who love her, and their jealous wives - all invited for a weekend in the country. With everyone in one place, infinite possibilities of new romances and second chances bring endless surprises in Stephen Sondheim's masterful musical take on Ingmar Bergman's comedy of manners, "Smiles of a Summer Night."

The past two seasons, after years of bragging that I didn't have allergies, I began to feel the pangs of the season. My symptoms aren't painful, but rather, consistently annoying. My nose runs each morning and takes a while to clear, my eyes itch, as does my throat. One day with an upcoming deadline looming and a lack of motivation caused by my unrelenting allergies, I caved and took an over-the-counter allergy medication.
Lesson learned--all day long I was nervous, as if high octane coffee was pumping through my veins. My throat was completely dry no matter how much water I drank. And I just felt more or less strange. I'm not one to skate on thin ice twice. With a good plan of attack you can stop whatever allergy ails you, naturally.

Unexpectedly placed in temporary charge two months previously, Guus Hiddink picked up from where his predecessors left off by guiding Chelsea FC to a fifth UEFA Champions League semi-final appearance in six seasons – but what a fright Liverpool FC gave him.
The Reds' 3-1 first-leg deficit was a formidable barrier but Fábio Aurélio's free-kick and Xabi Alonso's penalty soon had the scores level. Chelsea roared back with second-half goals from Didier Drogba, Alex and Frank Lampard; somehow, Liverpool still were not dead and buried. Lucas's deflected shot and Dirk Kuyt's header left the home supporters fearing the worst before Lampard scored again with a minute remaining to take relieved Chelsea through to a meeting with FC Barcelona.
Shorn of the injured Steven Gerrard, Liverpool's desire was apparent from the off, but their early passing lacked sharpness, even if they created a good chance in the 13th minute that Fernando Torres fired over. The Reds soon found it when they were awarded a free-kick on the right, though, following a push by Lampard on Torres. Aurélio deceived everyone by arrowing his delivery inside Petr Čech's left-hand post.
Liverpool had their tails up and swiftly scored again: Branislav Ivanović was penalised for a tug on Alonso, who calmly slotted in the spot kick. Hiddink immediately sought to invigorate his team, replacing Salomon Kalou with Nicolas Anelka. The striker was slow to find his stride but a positive raid down the right led to Chelsea regaining the aggregate lead. A dangerous ball played under pressure was helped on by Drogba close to the byline and Pepe Reina was unable to keep it out at his near post.
Six minutes later Liverpool's lead on the night was wiped out as Alex fired in a free-kick with immense power, and Chelsea seemed to have put the issue beyond doubt in the 76th minute when Drogba surged away and Reina could not keep out Lampard's side-footed shot.
Eleven minutes from time Lucas's drive diverted in off Michael Essien and then, incredibly, Kuyt headed in Albert Riera's cross. One more goal and Liverpool would be through but instead that went to Chelsea and the inspirational Lampard. Time to breathe at last.
Alonso came to prominence with the Real Sociedad de Fútbol side that finished Liga runners-up in 2002/03. The cultured midfielder moved to Liverpool FC the following summer and scored the equaliser in Liverpool's remarkable 2005 UEFA Champions League final triumph. He helped Spain to success at UEFA EURO 2008 and the 2010 FIFA World Cup, either side of a switch to Real Madrid CF. Scored twice on his 100th cap en route as Spain defended their EURO crown in 2012.
A box-to-box midfielder with uncanny timing, Lampard proved a model of consistency following his move from West Ham United FC to Chelsea FC in 2001. He scored at least ten Premier League goals or more for nine straight seasons starting in 2003/04, peaking with 22 in 2009/10. An England regular for many years, he helped Chelsea to three Premier League titles, four FA Cups and the 2012 UEFA Champions League.
An old-fashioned target man, Drogba made his name at Chelsea FC, helping to mould the style of play so successfully implemented by José Mourinho. The Ivorian won three Premier League titles and four FA Cups but saved his best until last, scoring the Blues' equaliser in the 2012 UEFA Champions League final against FC Bayern München and converting the winning penalty in the shoot-out – his last act for the club.
• Chelsea FC were on the brink of a second straight UEFA Champions League final against Manchester United FC but Andrés Iniesta's 93rd-minute second-leg goal took FC Barcelona through.
• The Blues could draw solace on the domestic front, Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard scoring their goals as they beat Everton FC 2-1 to lift the FA Cup for the second time in three seasons.
• That proved interim manager Guus Hiddink's final game in charge, with Carlo Ancelotti, appointed that summer and leading Chelsea to a league and cup double in his first season.
• Liverpool FC drew 4-4 in their next game after their second leg with Chelsea, Russia's Andrey Arshavin scoring all four for Arsenal FC in a thrilling Premier League meeting at Anfield.
• The Reds bounced back to conclude their league campaign with five wins on the spin and reach a club record tally of 86 Premier League points, enough for second place behind United.

Dancing Around the Bride
Something happened last week that made me entirely jealous of my hometown city, Philly. NYC is supposed to provide me with all of my dancerly needs, so why is Philadelphia Museum of Art the one to get the first posthumous exhibition on Merce Cunningham? It was my first chance to spend time with him since his company closed in 2011, so I made the short pilgrimage home that weekend.
As a child, I remember taking my sketchbook to the art museum. Of its 227,000 objects, one I was particularly drawn to was Duchamp's Large Glass. Two others were attracted to the same strange seminal work, decades earlier - Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg. There in Philadelphia sat the seed that sprouted postmodernism - reassessing the nature of representation and challenging artistic convention - a movement I would grow to contemplate at Cunningham's memorial in 2009. And at that event, sat curators Carlos Basualdo and Erica F. Battle, who were planting the seeds for the exhibition that would bring it all full-circle.
Dancing Around the Bride looks at the interwoven lives of Marcel Duchamp (the senior figure), John Cage (composer), Merce Cunningham (choreographer) Robert Rauschenberg (artist) and Jasper Johns (artist). Commonalities between these artists included use of chance procedures, everyday objects, process over product, and blurring the boundaries between art and life.
The exhibition is multi-faceted in a way Merce would approve. Always rejecting convention, he is credited with the creation of "happenings," interactive experiences as a means of viewing art. When I walked into the space, I was met by music: Cage's unpredictable, unsettling Number Pieces. Three musicians use various noises and instruments to fill defined brackets of time with undefined durations of sound. I found a place to sit near the stage, a central space - in true Cunningham fashion - void of backdrops or wings and set with a decomposed Large Glass, reminiscent of Walkaround Time (his homage to Duchamp). From the adjacent walls, a Rauschenberg's stalwart presence permeates the room.
Not far hangs a piece created by dropping paint-drenched scarves randomly onto canvases. From the traceable wayward path of the paint, one can imagine the artist still present, hovering over his canvases, breathing life into them: the encapsulating of a vivacious individual. The haphazard creation of beauty was subsequently occurring backstage, as Cunningham's former dancers used chance maneuvers to determine which order to perform their series of solos, duets and group pieces. As they took to the space, moments of beautiful individuality blurred seamlessly into moments of collective identity. Breaking away from storybook ballets as well as "dancing an emotion," Cunningham's pieces are ultimately a celebration of bodies moving through space. In the exhibition, his ideal of "movement for the sake of movement" is reflected in the painterly field in the nearby art pieces.
The exhibition is gone tomorrow, but it is an appropriate tribute, a chance for homage, and a beautiful beginning of retrospective analysis.

Topics: Health Costs, Medicare, Medicaid, Politics, Health Reform
Feb 14, 2011
President Barack Obama's budget plan includes a two-year Medicare "doc-fix" that uses heavy cuts in other health payments to stave-off a scheduled 25 percent reduction in Medicare physician reimbursements. Meanwhile, news outlets also report the plan "avoids" tackling entitlement spending.
The Washington Post: Obama To Offer $3.7 Trillion Budget BlueprintPresident Obama will roll out a $3.7 trillion budget blueprint Monday that would trim or terminate more than 200 federal programs next year and make key investments in education, transportation and research in a bid to boost the nation's economy and reduce record budget deficits. … A senior administration official said Obama's budget request maps "a sustainable path" that would stabilize government finances in preparation for a broader debate about how to tackle the biggest drivers of future deficits: Social Security and health care for the elderly, as well as a tax code that offers more in breaks and deductions than it collects in revenue. Senior administration officials pointed to two significant changes that would improve the budget outlook by eliminating long-standing gimmicks Congress has used to hide the true depth of the red ink. The first would cover the cost of adjusting Medicare to ensure that payments to physicians are not subject to steep reductions (Montgomery, 2/14).
The Hill: Obama's Challenge: Implement Health Reform While Cutting Back President Obama faces two major challenges when he unveils his health budget Monday: showing that he's serious about fiscal discipline while making sure implementation of his health care reform law has a clear path. His health budget will receive extra scrutiny this year given that his fiscal commission called health care spending the nation's "single largest fiscal challenge" and Republicans are angling to defund the law. But Obama's budget likely won't provide too many surprises because the reform law has already done a lot of the heavy lifting on spending cuts, lobbyist sources said on Friday. The Affordable Care Act slows the growth of Medicare spending by about $500 billion over 10 years (Millman and Pecquet, 2/13).
The Hill: Health Care Cuts Proposed To Pay For Two-Year Medicare Fix President Obama's 2012 budget proposal delays a steep cut in Medicare reimbursement rates for doctors by squeezing health care payments for a broad cross-section of medical providers, administration officials said. The budget proposal would postpone for two years a scheduled 25 percent cut in the Medicare physician payment formula, known as the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR), that's set to go into effect at the end of the year (Pecquet, 2/13).
Roll Call: Obama Avoids Entitlements In Fiscal 2012 Budget Request President Barack Obama will present a fiscal 2012 budget request Monday that his administration contends will return annual deficits to a sustainable level by mid-decade without substantial cuts to Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security. The plan cuts $1.1 trillion in deficits over the coming decade, with about two-thirds coming from spending reductions and the rest from tax increases, according to two senior administration officials (Dennis, 2/14).
The Wall Street Journal: Entitlements Won't See Big CutsThe president and congressional Republicans moved this week toward a clash over spending cuts needed in light of growing deficits, but both sides are largely deferring a major budget challenge: how to overhaul the costly entitlement programs of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid (Paletta, Hook and Bendavid, 2/11).
The Washington Post: Obama Spending Plan Criticized For Avoiding Deficit Commission's Major ProposalsSome who worked on Obama's fiscal panel were also disappointed by his decision not to endorse any of the major elements of their deficit-reduction plan, which calls for raising the Social Security retirement age, charging wealthy seniors more for Medicare and limiting popular tax breaks such as the mortgage interest deduction. The plan has attracted support from key members of both parties and is the focus of an effort in the Senate to develop a bipartisan spending plan (Montgomery, 2/14).

Saturday Morning 'Toon: Hawkman in Peril
By John DeNardo (SF Signal) | Saturday, October 17th, 2009 at 12:15 am
I'm not exactly sure how Hawkman is "hiding his identity" by telling his colleague that he's Hawkman, but I guess that's no worse than Val Kilmer's Batman shouting "I'm Batman" in a circus crowd.

Oregon Zoo's polar bear, Tasul, and her job as a research assistant.
Tasul is currently helping researchers at the U.S. Geological Survey study how climate change is affecting wild polar bears in the Arctic. She has been fitted with a collar which includes an accelerometer that measures her movements while she's walking, eating, sleeping and swimming. The collar turns these behaviours into electronic signals and along with video footage being collected researchers will be able to use this to create a digital library of polar bear behaviour.
Once the signals have been calibrated, collars similar to the one Tasul wears will be placed on free-roaming bears in the Arctic. This gives researchers the opportunity to monitor the bears' behaviour without having to observe them directly, which can be difficult to study, given the remote, harsh environment they inhabit.
More information on Tasul and her role in research can be found here.
Tasul's collar also had attached a Go-Pro Hero camera which gave a bear's-eye view. Check out a clip taken from the camera on Oregon Zoo's YouTube page.

To me she was the 'real deal.'
She was authentic. She had a grounded voice and she always expressed a well-thought out opinion. In short, I admired her. She reminded me a lot of Patricia Shackelford over at 'Mrs Blandings', who inspired me to start my own blog. Like Patricia, Marija stood on solid ground. She was confident in herself, and knew her own personal sense of style.
via pinterest
I can easily imagine that when she spoke in person, others really wanted to listen to what she had to say. I know I was flattered to get comments from Marija on my posts. She was always thoughtful, mostly witty, and always kind. And although I had high admiration for her style and opinion, I never felt Marija considered herself anything but 'one of the gang' of design bloggers. That in itself is a beautiful quality.
Some folks are smart but not wise. Marija was a lovely lady with a beautiful heart, a smart mind and a wise soul. She was truly the 'real deal.'
************* * *************
Dear readers,
We would love it if you wanted to contribute to this 'memory blog', and hope that over
time it will be filled with beautiful stories, pictures and tributes from all and everyone of
Marija's friends and family, to create a rich 'guest book' for Cory and the children.
Please email Charlotta or/and Debra for further information.
Many thanks.
