My sentiments exactly - Amen! (not sure it's appropriate to say Amen when the title of the post is what is...oh well).
Driving also sucks, but I guess if you point that out you're a smug, stupid asshole.
True, but Sims has done a hell of a lot more to improve public transit than our lousy mayor.
Well... getting to/from Downtown is certainly easier by bus than by car: I don't have to concern myself with parking.
As for the rest of town, sure, there could be something better. Any ideas on how to pay for something like that, Dan, given a competent system would probably cost $8-10 billion, and get it built in less than 15 years?
So, seriously, if I take the bus to a show or the grocery store or your mom's house or whatever rather than driving - despite the fact that it takes a bit longer - for no other reason than it's the environmentally responsible thing to do, that makes me a smug, stupid asshole? Awesome!
This is the typical bullshit response one comes to expect from the Stranger. No, it couldn't possibly be the Stranger writers that are the smug assholes here, it's got to be transit riders.
when i want to be smug i ride a recumbent bicycle. with helmet mounted rear view mirror.
from my house to downtown, the 71 takes a fricking hour each way, if not longer depending on what subnormal is plodding on or off. it CRAWLS through the u-district & down 65th. its oftern as bad as the 7 up pine.
why the fuck am i going to take 2 hours out of my sunday & sit on the bus when i could drive my sweet ride & park for free?

I think we should send every Seattleite to live in SF, New York, Vancouver, Chicago, London, Berlin, Boston, D.C., Amsterdam, Paris, Moscow, Rome, Sydney, Hong Kong, Prague, Toronto, Montreal, Tokyo, Madrid, or Frankfurt to live for a year. When they got back there would be some political will to build a mass transit system.
i agree with post #4. your anger at sims is thoroughly misplaced. maybe target our mayor and our governor?
For this rant alone, I declare a 5-year moratorium on anyone at the Stranger saying even one syllable in favor of density. Even if the money magically appeared today, there would be no mass transit system for 20 years.
In Seattle in 2007, you either you walk, bike, ride the bus, or youre a poseur.
Sorry: You're only a smug, stupid asshole if you smile to yourself about the good you're doing. Should have made that clearer.
Check. I will make sure to frown on the bus from now on.
Oh shit, here I was going out of my way to ride the bus in order to show my support for the bus system and for the planet, but I guess I was just being dumb. Thanks for setting me straight, Dan! You're right, the buses do suck! They're full of, those nasty, awkward, ugly..what do you call them? Ah yes - other people. And until the city produces a sustainable, cheap, effective, and fast transit system, I'm back to driving by myself.
Uh.... yeah the bus sucks. But why is Sims so revered? I live and work in Seattle and honestly after living here for 12 years I have NEVER seen improvement in the service IN SEATTLE. The only service that is semi-workable is getting to downtown. Good luck getting to Magnolia from View Ridge/Sand Point on a Sunday afternoon.
Sims is seriously overrated for what he has done for Metro.
No, God forbid that Dan get off of his lazy, increasingly large ass and take the bus. No, we will not have mass transit in this town until Dan and Erica C. Barnett have private, gold-plated monorail cars that run directly from their houses to the Stranger office (with no stops so that all of those fucking cripples can't slow Erica down) and that have a spur line off to whatever sleazy bar Stranger staffers drink at.
Light rail construction is well under way. Regular service from Downtown to SeaTac Airport will begin in just two years. After some early missteps, the projects have begun coming in on time and under budget (as the always-clean audits PROVE). The taxes are reasonable and fair, in light of the benefits to the region. Thousands of GHG-emitting vehicles wont be on the roads because of the transportation alternatives the agency is (and will be) providing. Executive Sims has been wonderful. We can build on the successes with ST2!
#5, #12. Yeah, it'll be expensive and take (gasp!) time to build! those are the same two reasons we didn't start in the 70s when signs of growth started suggesting it'd be a good idea. Now look where we are.
Just because it won't be free and instant to build mass transit doesn't mean we should give up on it.
i seem to recall the bus used to cost me $1.85. now it costs $1.25. that's progress.
Building transit is feasable. It can be done. It could have been done years ago. It was talked about decades ago.
Unfortunately it seems like Seattle's chances at building reasonable, universal mass transit on a reasonable timetable depend on shooting a few Northwest NIMBYs in the back of the head and bulldozing their houses.
Looks like China figured out how to do a few things. They also figured out how to deal with the Falun Gong.
What did China figure out, exactly? China is going to build 500 million cars in the next decade.
In addition to arguements about building mass transit(light rail, monorail, etc) it's obvious that a blind, syphillitic meth addict has had a hand in laying out a lot of these bus routes. My sympathies go out to the previous poster who mentioned the 71, I used to have to take that bus all the time and it's a joke. It winds through view ridge late at night through an area that almost NEVER has any passengers go on or off.
Buses that go almost the same route, instead of being staggered every 15 minutes come at almost the exact same time so there's no chance of catching an alternate. This isn't due to delays, this is by design. If streamlining metro's bus system was a PRIORITY(and it could be streamlined in a grid city like this) it could be a much more painless experience. Maybe not quite as fast and "convenient" as driving but one wouldn't have to worry about parking and gas.
Also if you're worried about drunk, crazy homeless people, let's thank our great boomer forerunners that thought Ronald Reagan was such a great fucking idea.
i think dan could perhaps use some ritalin when he takes the bus.
The bus doesn't suck because of Ron Sims. It sucks because it's the bus. It's in traffic, only worse, because it has to stop all the time, and pull in and out of congested single lanes. Ironically, in a big flat car-built city with six-lane rectilinear streets everywhere, the bus isn't as bad. Here, it blows. It would still blow if they came every two minutes.
"Unfortunately it seems like Seattle's chances at building reasonable, universal mass transit on a reasonable timetable depend on shooting a few Northwest NIMBYs in the back of the head and bulldozing their houses."
You go girl. But make sure you've got a whole lotta clips, and several thousand CAT D9's. Sixty-five per cent of Seattle's voters in 2005 said no to monorail.
Dan, when was the last time you rode the bus? I've been a daily metro rider for the past 2 years and have never encountered piss puddles, shit-streaked seats or any other type of similar crudeness. What I have encountered, occasionally, is people who don't have great hygiene, people who become belligerent, people who do odd things or are generally unpleasant to be around. You know, things you encounter when you live in a city. These things will be present no matter how new/fast/pristine/elevated/submerged the mode of transit is. You live in a fucking city. Deal with it. Or walk. Or drive your fucking car 5 blocks to the store and stop bitching about the environment.
Wouldn't a better way to show support for Earth Day be to stay home and read a book?
I love taking my kids to Seattle Center via the bus, in part because of all the kooks from the Harborview stop.
I'm hoping that by seeing other sides of life in the city, my kids won't grow up to be selfish and thoughtless princesses. Judging from this post, Dan, sounds like you might similarly benefit from a few bus rides.
There's much agreement that our current transit blows hard (count me as well). But, just how many of you who concur are among the 'No-No' surface-transit set w/ the Viaduct vote?
It is hard to buy into the black-white argument that all freeways = bad and transit/alterntives = good when the latter of these includes what we know about our present bad ol' Metro.
Perhaps more would take the leap of faith of the Sims/No-No crowd if we actually could experience a reliable, efficient transit system. Until then, already time-strapped people will rely on their cars to get from point A to B.
Most of us rely on cars to get to point A, B, C, D . . . X and Y. I haven't had a job in years near a train station, I don't live within walking distance of a train station . . . well, you get the point.
The bus takes 11 minutes to get from Montlake to downtown. Light rail will take 9 minutes.
The bus takes 33 minutes to get from downtown to the airport. Light rail will take 34 minutes.
We need to increase bus funding to modernize buses, increase the frequency of buses, add routes, and increase maintenance/cleaning. This will cost a fraction of light rail, would take more cars off the road, and provide service to areas that "rapid transit" will NEVER cover.
Modern buses (similar to the eastside commuter buses) are very similar in comfort and amenities as light rail will be. There just aren't enough of them (they are all standing room only during regular commute hours). These buses also avoid much of the traffic due to carpool lanes.
The only justification that I see for "rapid transit" over bus service is to avoid poor black people. Don't worry -- once we increase the number of buses, you won't have to sit by them.
content to sit in a pool of urine left on their seat by some bum that got on and off the bus in the downtown ride free/rolling homeless shelter zone.
Yeah, because the mythical public transit system that Dan wants to build (ignoring such variables as topography and population density, factors that most rail advocates seem to be woefully ignorant of) will of course not have any homeless people on it (or cripples, or any other member of the public). And of course rail systems in other cities are miracles of modern cleanliness. Why I've seen people eating off the floor of the New York subway system, and the London tube is so clean that the train cars are often used for delicate surgical procedures requiring sterile conditions.
#32, try taking the 545 to Microsoft on a regular basis. It crawls along at a very very slow speed, and gets stuck for extremely long waits at the 405\520 interchange as well. If these are the "modern buses" that you speak of, then it's no different with the crap we put up with in the city. Contrast this to BART. I lived in SF and took BART to my job clear out in Pleasanton. It's about 3 times the distance from Capitol Hill to Microsoft but it got me there in about half the time. Oh and you actually had enough space to use a laptop or read the newspaper.
32: I don't see too many carpool lanes on city arterials. I also seem to remember the intense "NO I-5 WEST" campaign the Aurora merchants ran to protest transit lanes on 99, which succeeded to the point even ST2 isn't going to complete them entirely. Removing traffic capacity and parking is as unpopular as kicking puppies.
Besides, buses become uneconomical to operate compared to rail when passenger loads increase. The Green Line route will be the big gap left in the rapid transit network when Link hits Northgate. Light rail in this corridor would pull 70k+ daily trips, which just isn't going to be feasible without dedicated bus lanes all the way. Sims wants em, but I'll believe Mayor McGreen will get that done when I sees it.
In short, a desire for rapid transit isn't racist, as long as accompanied with strict affordable housing mandates to go with the inevitable upzoning.
jamier: The bus takes 11 minutes to get from Montlake to downtown. Light rail will take 9 minutes.
U District-to-downtown bus ride: 20-22 minutes.
U District-to-downtown light rail ride: six minutes.
Jamier, I know you think Seattle is still some godforsaken backwater where you can get taken seriously with a "'modern' buses are better than light rail" argument, but at least present information that comes close to resembling the truth.
Perspective from the "heartland" (I hate that term):
Back in the early 90s, the MetroLink was built in St. Louis. One line, from downtown to the airport. It cost god-knows-how-much, took forever, and fifteen years later, they added a second line. It is better than nothing, but ultimately not much has changed. Traffic still sucks, and god forbid a third line be added.
The parallel here is in an area with so many opposing viewpoints, nothing effectively can be accomplished. If y'all want a respectable mass transit system, you will have to get everyone on board and be realistic about the cost, etc. Otherwise, you'll end up like The Lou.
Gee, I rode the bus to Pioneer Square last night, and I encountered none of the things Dan described. No wonder I wasn't smiling - I wuzrobbed of the Full Mass Transit Experience!
I agree that the transit system here, especially connecting areas not right next to downtown, needs drastic improvement, and that Sunday's promotional event isn't going to change anyone's mind or get them out of their cars. But is it really better to be a smug stupid asshole who gets offended that the city is offering a day of free transit they're not required to participate in than a smug stupid asshole who feels they are saving the world by braving the bus with not-always-desirable riders?
Part of the problem with the 545 is that the traffic leaving 520 for 405 at the interchange blocks the HOV lane as it crosses over, creating a bottleneck. It would help to have the HOV lane in the middle of the highway, perhaps with some of those left-side transit exits that are going up on 405. I don't think there's much room, though. If ST is serious about 520 as a BRT corridor, they'll fix this, even if it means displacing a general traffic lane.
Buses will never be as useful as rail, but with transit-centered highway upgrades, they could be a hell of a lot better.
EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson is talking about earth day over at at Ask the White House.
Sims has obviously never ridden the bus on a Sunday.
What an elitist, snotty, smug post. Hope you regret writing it as much as I regret reading it.
Get rid of the ride free area. It's a bus, not a homeless shelter.
A SLOG poll: Who's a bigger asshole and hypocrite at the Stranger on the issue of mass transit?
A) Erica "I was 20 minutes late for work this morning because they let a handicapped passenger in a wheelchair on my bus. They shouldn't do that because I'm an important little diva and really need to get to work at the Stranger on time so I can do whatever it is that I do there" Barnett.
B. Dan "I'll use mass transit when it's as easy and convenient as my car, goes from wherever I am to wherever I want to go as quickly as my car will take me. Will not require me to actually sit next to anyone, just like when I'm driving my car. Until then I'm going to whine like a bitch every chance I get" Savage.
You decide readers, which one of these hacks is a bigger hypocrite and more of an asshole on the issue of mass transit.
Ron Sims has done far more to work for transit in this region than Dan Savage.
Ron=led the Sound Transit board as they stabilized the agency in recent years and worked towards an new ST2 plan. Responsible for Metro for the last 10 years and has consistently stumped for Transit Now and better service.
Dan=runs a paper that tried to kill Sound Transit and light rail in its infancy. Then gave a free pass to Joel Horn and the incompetent morons who fucked up a chance for some mass transit in Seattle. Now edits a paper that constantly attacks the only transit we have in this town.
Of course a free bus on Earth Day is feel good bullshit. But so are cynical fake scenarios involving urine on buses. Fuck that.
To celebrate Earth day I left a fire burning in my back yard all day and drove around in circles with my emissions system disabled. I rented 200lb cylinders of CO2 and emptied as many as I could into the air. I did my best to contribute.
Those of you who think man kind is causing global warming or that it has anything to do with CO2 emissions are completely wrong. You should try listening to scientists instead of Al Gore. Better still, try developing some critical thinking skills and do some real research on the subject using verifiable data and empirical evidence. You are the lazy assholes, and thanks to you and your ignorant kind, real issues are being ignored.
Water vapor constitutes the vast majority of greenhouse gases, not CO2, and the Ocean is the attenuator of CO2 levels, not the air. Release of CO2 is a symptom of warmer temperatures, not the cause. Mankinds contribution to CO2 levels is miniscule.
So if we cap CO2 emissions, we must cap water vapor emissions as well. I guess we will have to outlaw water use. Better cover up those lakes and rivers then. Oh wait, the ocean is still the number one attenuator with water vapor as well as CO2. Well that settles it, we will just have to get rid of the oceans of the world.
Today I will go down to the ocean and put five gallons of it in a bottle so it can't do any more harm to the earth. Then I will be morally superior to all of you. This use to be harmless feel good nonsense. You clueless, science challenged idiots would do something nice like plant a tree, but now you want to control everything because the people who do your thinking for you tell you that it will save the earth, but what they really want is to make more money from environmental groups and the multi-million dollar industry that is formed by the fear they generate.
Big business isn't afraid to change CO2 emissions, they have cash and they can diversify into anything they want. In fact BP is currently the number one producer of solar products. However, the Greens can not diversify, because they depend on fear and ignorance to make their living.
It is true what many are saying, environmentalism is the new religion. You have the ignorant masses who can not decipher the evidence, so they turn to those who profess to have a much better understanding of the subject to tell them how to think and act. Those leaders call their flock to regular meetings and even appear on television. They preach against the sins of mankind, and warn of the wrath of their god Mother Earth, so that countless clueless people will give money to support their cause.
They pocket the money, and laugh all the way to the bank in their stretch limo that gets 5 miles per gallon, and hope on private jets to go to meetings all over the world. I have even been to some of these meetings. Guess what I have noticed, no one their ever rides the buss. The parking lot is full of cars. Want to reduce damage to the environment and give back to the earth? Shoot yourself in the head and request an all natural burial. Make yourself an environmental Martyr

It seems Lily Allen has been spending far too much time with twerk queen Miley Cyrus as she continues to support the singer on her wild US Bangerz tour.
Hands on hips and legs akimbo, the Hard Out Here singer demonstrated her own twerking skills while in a drive-thru car park in Louisville, Kentucky on Saturday night.
Dressed in a crop top, baggy boy-shorts and trainers, the outspoken entertainer posted the booty-popping vid to Instagram under the caption: #kentuckyfriedcarparkrave
Some fans of the 29-year-old weren't too pleased with her twerking escapades.
One of her followers commented: "You've become a twerking miley cyrus wannabe."
The singer has been attempting to gain US popularity by opening for Miley Cyrus in a number of American shows.
Earlier in a Nashville show, the troublesome tourmates entertained audiences with a fun karaoke rendition of Lily Allen's song, Not Fair - with lots more twerking, of course.
The twerky-two just can't seem to stop!

BEREA, Ohio - Sheldon Brown saw something last season that he had never seen before in his NFL career.
Something disturbing. Something that he feels was every bit as responsible for the Eagles defense's struggles last season as the never-ending injuries and the departure of Brian Dawkins.
What he saw were teammates - some, certainly not all - who didn't buy into what the team's new defensive coordinator, Sean McDermott, was selling.
"You have to believe in what's in place," said Brown, who was traded in April along with linebacker Chris Gocong to the Cleveland Browns. "I didn't always feel that everybody felt that way last year. That's my personal opinion. Other people might disagree, but that's my personal opinion."

What are the top 3 traits or skills every pharmaceutical sales representative must have to excel?
Can you suggest any tips or insights to develop your pharmaceutical sales representative expertise?
Sean in Cleveland, OH
119 months ago
1. Build STRONG relationships with every office you visit. The easiest way to influence prescribing behaivor is to have the physician and his staff in your back pocket
2. Know your product and it's coverage. You build credability and trust with your physicians if you can answer any of their product related questions and knowing which insurance's it's covered under
3. Organize your call plan. Visit your top physicians early in the week with plenty of samples and lunch programs, Visit your 'project physicians' in the middle of the week; These are physicians that write your product, but they write everyone else's product too, and you want to have the best share in their offices. AND visit your loyalists at the end of the week. Don't forget to see those physicians that are loyal to your brand and drive your bonus every quarter!

I have recent installed WP to use as my BLOG. I noticed that there are to things missing:
1) no robots.txt file
2) the WP folder structure allow open indexing.
Im the next release of WP it would nice to see something like robots-sample.txt file with WP folders listed to prevent indexing of the WP structure and an empty index.htm or index.php file in every folder that does not have an index file in it. By making these changes you can prevent your WP site from be found via a search engine search by a core file name. The is important when hackers and crackers are looking for known vulnerabilities.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at the track at Vandalia Community High School last Friday afternoon.
The Vandalia boys basketball team received the No. 2 seed for the 40th annual Vandalia Holiday Tournament, and the Vandals will play two games on Dec. 26, the first day of play.
Flora is the tournament's No. 1 seed for the third straight season, and No. 4 Wesclin will be seeking its fifth title in seven years.
Pana earned the No. 3 seed, and St. Elmo rounds out the top five.
Greenville was seeded sixth, Altamont seventh, Stew-Stras eighth, Shelbyville ninth and South Central 10th.
ST. ELMO – Brownstown held on despite South Central nearly erasing an eight-point deficit in the final minute of a 37-35 win on Tuesday at the St. Elmo Holiday Tournament.
The Cougars (1-6) made eight free throws in the final 1:08 of the game, but were unable to get a shot off after earning possession with about four seconds left.
ST. ELMO – The Eagles switched to a zone defense in the second half to shut out Ramsey in the third quarter during a 68-37 win on Tuesday at the St. Elmo Holiday Tournament.
Struggling to build a lead with its man-to-man coverage, St. Elmo coach Greg Feezel employed a zone look in the third quarter, which helped his team outscore the Rams, 16-0, to take a 53-27 lead.
"We decided to sit in a zone and see if we could do better," Feezel said. "We played it pretty well, but we couldn't guard them man-to-man.
Greenville College has struggled through the first 10 games.
But Vandalia graduate Laura Hobbie is doing everything she can to change that.
The Greenville Lady Panthers are 3-7 through their first 10 games, and in the last five games, they have just one victory. Hobbie, however, has been in double figures in every game, save one.
Class 2A at Pana
Class 1A at Altamont
•St. Elmo
•South Central
•North Clay
Class 1A at Stew-Stras
•Beecher City
The Jr. Vandals would place third in the tourney on Saturday.

(1) Flora
(4) Wesclin
(6) Greenville
(7) Altamont

Pool B:
(2) Vandalia

Monday, Dec. 26
DUQUOIN - Despite having to play three games in 24 hours, the Vandalia boys basketball team was able to win them all to win the DuQuoin Tip-Off Classic.
In the team's first appearance at the tournament, the Vandals went 4-0 to defeat Cairo, DuQuoin, Benton and Waltonville to take the tournament championship.
The title was technically won after Vandalia beat Benton, 34-31, in a physical game on Saturday afternoon, but coach Kevin Jackson wasn't completely satisfied until the team finished off against Waltonville, with a 68-44 win Saturday night.
The Brownstown Junior High seventh-grade basketball team advanced to Saturday's state tournament, with a 28-17 win against Oblong at the sectional tournament on Wednesday.
Brownstown will play the Paris/Crestwood co-op on Saturday at 1 p.m. in LeRoy, and the tournament finals are on Saturday, Dec. 8.
Meanwhile, the Vandalia Junior High eighth-grade girls basketball team closed out a 20-2 season last night with a 38-23 loss to Central A&M in the regional championship game at Assumption.

TravelPod Member ReviewsAntique Hostel - Guest House Istanbul
Being in the Sultanahmet area, this hostel is in the perfect position. You walk for five minutes and the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia are right there! The staff here are wonderful too. The only downfall is the free breakfast, which is very poor and mainly consists of bread. Also, the "included" transfer is very expensive, although it is possibly a good option if you have just arrived and don't have your bearings yet.

Donora On World Cafe
Set List
- "Play Nice"
- "I Think I Like You"

The Hanner siblings are the offspring of Dave Hanner, from the country band Corbin/Hanner. As kids, they spent time in their father's studio, which influenced them to pursue music careers of their own; Casey sings and plays guitar and keyboards, while her brother plays drums. Eventually, their dad convinced them to perform together.
Donora is signed to Pittsburgh's Rostrum Records, which is also home to hip-hop artists Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller. In addition to this year's EP, Play Nice, the group has released two full-length albums since 2008.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The cast of clerics praying at next week's
inaugural ceremonies is growing.
Officials familiar with planning for Wednesday's prayer service at Washington National Cathedral say prayers will be offered by Ingrid Mattson - the first woman president of the Islamic Society of North America - and by rabbis representing the three major branches of American Judaism. If tradition holds, Washington's Roman Catholic Archbishop Donald Wuerl also will pray. The sermon will be preached by the Rev. Sharon Watkins, who heads the Christian Church Disciples of Christ.
The Rev. Tony Evans, president of the Urban Alternative, is to pray at an inaugural prayer breakfast.
Prayers at the inauguration are to be delivered by the Rev. Rick Warren and the Rev. Joseph Lowery.
The openly gay Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson is to pray at Sunday's pre-inaugural concert.

World's Best Macaroni and Cheese!
857 people want to try | 1,354 have favorited
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Grease a large casserole dish (3 to 4 quarts or roughly 9"X13" pan).
3. Cook pasta according to instruction for your chosen shape al-dente (you can skip forward and start #4 while this is cooking). Toss pasta in olive oil when finished to prevent sticking.
4. Combine cream, half-and-half, egg yolks and nutmeg in a good-sized sauce pan over medium heat. Add 1.5 cups of each of the cheeses. Stir frequently until all cheese is melted (about 10 minutes), being sure not to let it boil (boiling causes the cheese to "break" and gives it a distinct broken-down rubbery feel). Add Worcestershire sauce and pepper.
5. Place pasta in the casserole dish, and coat with melted cheese mixture. Stir to make sure everything is well-coated.
6. Sprinkle remaining uncooked cheese on top.
7. Bake for 15 minutes.
8. When the edges have turned golden brown, crank the oven up to broil for about a minute and keep cooking until the top is golden brown, 2 or 3 minutes.
9. Pig out!!!
Cheese note: If you have trouble finding fontina, you can just increase the amounts of parmesan and cheddar. The dish is much better with the fontina, though. Even if you're turned off by sharp cheddar, you should use it the sharpness drops significantly on baking/mixing, but keeps a distinct cheese flavor (a trait many mac and cheeses lack).
This recipe was based on another recipe, and over time and many revisions, this is the best macaroni and cheese in the world!
flight2k5 2y agoAmazing. But we added garlic croutons on top. Very good.
cokhmatov 2y agoI almost didn't make this because I have tried so many bland Mac and cheese recipes. This one is so delicious! I think it will fast become a family favorite.
Tatertotter 2y agoHas to say it's too pricey to make again but it was ok, if a little clumpy. No one objected to the mountain of leftovers we had!
llwt 2y agoThis was definitely delish mac & cheese but the recipe says to add 1-1/2 cups cheese to the sauce. So what do with rest of the cheese? I added most of it to the sauce and left the rest for topping. Delish but Martha's is still the best.
Jeanwgriffin 3y agoYummy but $$$$.
jonathanphilpot 3y ago
moshnroll33 3y agoIt says add 1.5 cups of each cheese but your only supposed to have a total of 1 cup (8oz) of each cheese soooo...???

Reviews for Loft, Inc.
I got help through the Loft to launch my writing career mostly in the classroom and also at public readings. I actually read a couple of times myself. While it's been a long time since I've taken a class, I support the Loft because I want it to be there for the next generation of writers. I should say that I still attend readings because they are all so good.
Great classes for writers in an inspiring space! Plenty of options for all kinds of writing. I've enjoyed every class and instructor I've had.
I have access close to home to top-notch writing classes and workshops, but my online class with the Loft is easily on par with any in-person class I have taken. Great instruction, class organization and design, feedback, and chat opportunies. Looking forward to future classes!
I joined the Loft so I could improve my writing. Even though I live three hours west of the Twin Cities, I've had the pleasure of taking two online classes, both on poetry. I had positive experiences with both my classes. One resulted in grant funding from the local arts council, and the other helped me place a poem for publication in a journal. Because of my income level, I've also received scholarships to help pay for classes. The Loft has definitely enabled me to become a contributing member of the literary community, on both the local and national levels. Thank You Loft!
My LOFT nature writing class was terrific! Loved the teacher
When I got out of my undergraduate program, I wanted to find a way to keep my passion for my writing alive and to find others who loved it, too. I am so lucky to have The Loft in my community. The classes are great, the people are amazing and their events are always so much fun. By attending classes, I was able to cultivate my writing and take the next step to grad school. This organization is truly awesome!
The Loft is awesome. I have taken classes, attended readings, applied for grants, rented a writing studio, and have been inspired by other writers I've met there. The people who work at the Loft care about supporting writers. They care that writers produce good work. They care that American writing demonstrates the huge diversity and talent in this country and in Minnesota. And they care about serving the diverse community around them. Without a doubt, the Loft is among the most amazing non-profits in the U.S.
I've been a member for over ten years, since winning a Mentorship one year out of college. The environment, opportunities, and culture of the organization is welcoming, dynamic, and very encouraging. I am grateful to The Loft for helping not just my writing, but for introducing me to artists like Claudia Rankine and Nick Flynn, and for hosting so many excellent community events. I'm a big fan.
Without The Loft, I very much doubt I would have completed and published my memoir. I approached creative writing from a nontraditional standpoint with a background in journalism. Since I did not have a creative writing degree, I had to look for opportunities elsewhere. The Loft serves well the professional who has an interest in writing but does not have the time, energy, or resources to get a college degree in creative writing.
I owe my later-in-life writing career to the Loft. I was a person with a dream: a dream to write and publish fiction. The Loft provided superb instruction (from a host of talented and generous writers), programming, mentorships and grant opportunities. I've seen other beginning writers struggle in many settings and many ways, and I am certain I could not have developed and advanced my writing career the way I have without the help of the Loft.
This is the sequence of events, all Loft-mediated, which has brought me to a Spring 2014 short story publication in the literary magazine "Ploughshares," and collaboration on two novels-in-progress with a New York literary agency:
1. 2005 to present: Took classes offered at the Loft, from "Writing for the Absolute Beginner" (Fall, 2005) to a workshop with the esteemed Janet Burroway (Summer, 2014);
2. 2007-2008: Awarded Loft Emerging Writer Mentorship in Fiction; absolutely jump-started my fledgling fiction-writing career;
3. 2009 to present: Proposed and taught classes in beginning fiction writing at the Loft;
4. Awarded 2012-2013 Loft MN Emerging Writer Grant; used money for an online mentorship though the Loft;
5. Spring, 2014: Developed a website with the help of former Loft fellow-students and instructors, and started writing a blog. Please see one of my earliest posts, "Postcards From the Margins: Why I Love the Loft," April 21, 2014, http://www.donnatrump.org/page/5/ (scroll down to 4/21 entry).
I am grateful, every day, for the resources provided and the opportunities made possible by the Loft.

When I was 48 years old I decided it was "now or never" to try my hand at fiction writing. I took my first class at the Loft in September 2005--"Writing for Absolute Beginners," taught by Jorie Miller. Jorie said many encouraging things to all of her students, but it was her comment that my story-writing was "strong" that motivated me to keep going. In 2007-2008, I was awarded a Loft Emerging Writer Mentorship, during which time I had the unmatched pleasure of working with Sandy Benitez and Peter Ho Davies on an idea for a novel. Since that mentorship, I've published stories, essays and poems in a variety of journals. Now I'm working with Patricia Weaver Francisco in an online Loft mentorship, paid for by another Loft contest, the MN Emerging Writer grant, which I won this year. And that novel? Well, these things take time, but I've got an agent and 2013 sounds like a great year for a debut. None of any of this would have happened without the excellent teaching and remarkable guidance of many fine and talented people at the Loft Writing Center in Minneapolis.

Arsenal Message Board
The problem with England and the English especially the press
Short memory and Xenophobia. Unrealistic attitude and self hype. Failure to be honest and unbiased in identifying problems. Failure to call a spade a spade. Scape-goatism etc. These are just some of them of the problems
Sven was a good manager who made the most of the talent available to him. People hammered him because they believed those players were actually better than they really were and should have won the WC. The guy took Walcott because he had players of limited abilities who are predictable in their play. People went on about Defoe as if his inclusion would have guaranteed the WC. What has the guy done since? He is simply average with nothing special, whereas Walcott has that special ingredient
McLaren. If Sven hadn't employed him as his assistant for years there isno way he would have had the England job. Yet despite this opportunity given to him he did not waste time in stabbing Sven in the back, washing his hands off Walcott and talking about England being 'fluid' in the systems they played. Talk is easy. I am sure he learnt the hard way yesterday. Sven was not rigid. at the WC, he played 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 4-5-1. Why couldn't people acknowledge this?
England footballers came from the WC and they were all writing books. Why did they have the confidence to do so after their failures? Because they were only too happy for Sven to carry the can. The press and many English people were lashing out and ridiculing Sven when actually they missed the vital penaltiesSort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

so after all your talk,it's agreed ENGLAND ARE SHIT
No matter what the system is, it comes down to how well the players play against the opposition on the day. The problem still remains the inability of English players to hold the ball and pass and be creative. If Fab Fab can do it, why can't those with bigger names in the England midfield.
Many chairmen, managers, ex and failed managers, pundits etc would rather use the opportunity to express their xenophibic views rather than aknowledge the real problem.
Why should Arsenal pay 10m on Davies(the WBA defender) when Toure cost 250K. Warnock should answer that question and I will tell him how good a manager he is. In any business, the manager looks to spend wisely and that often determines the financial faith of the club. Leeds united anyone? Chelsea would be bankrupt if there was no Abramovich
The biggest problem with England is that every single time we lose we blame the system (ie 451,442 etc), the manager and bad luck. One day when I'm old and grey I may just finally here the 'experts, the players, the fans and the press saying 'we're just shit.' It will not be until that happens that we finally start to address the issues. For to solve a problem, you must be aware of it in the first place!
Sorry mate, but I'm gonna have to disagree with you completely here.
First of all, xenophobia has nothing to do with anything - EVERY England manager has taken stick for failing to deliver, Sven was criticised by most because he was inept, and by a few idiots because he was Swedish.
So, secondly, Sven was not a good manager. If he was, he would have been able to pick a team that worked and managed the likes of Gerrard and Lampard to play to their strengths, and not just leave them to sort it out between them. He lacked ideas when we went a goal down and was far too negative.
Thirdly, he picked Walcott to make a statement himself. That being - "look at me, i'm taking a risk!". Didn;t play him once, though, even when we had Owen injured and Rooney sent off. And Defoe is not average, he is a good player who, thanks to Sven's messing around with him time and time again, lost confidence.
Fourthly, McLaren - well, I don;t recall many people happy to see him appointed, but willing to give the guy a chance. The FA would have preferred Scolari, the public would have preferred O'Neil.
The players? Yes many of thm are a bunch of overpaid primadonnas who aren't fit to wear the shirts. But as dismal as the penalties were, you can't say that if only we knew how to score penalties, then we'd be a good team. It should not have to come down to penalties.
I'll agree there's a problem with the press, but is that different to any other country? When things go wrong, the manager gets blamed, liek in every country. Klinsmann was slated before the WOrld CUp even begun, Lippi and Donadoni and Cesare Malidini in his time all being hounded by the Italian press etc.

Xenophobia is a strong word but there was certainly some of it because he wasn't English. Wright was especially guilty of that
How did you work out Sven did not manage Lampard and Gerrard and leave them to sort it out between themselves? You are so wrong and this claim has no basis
Sven tried to use Gerrard as the defensive midfielder but it did not work. The whole country screamed about him being more effective going foward. The guy is experienced and knew what he was doing contrary to your claims. Against the will of the English people/press he brought Hargreaves into that position to release Gerrard and Lampard. Surely that wasn't the action of somebody who did not know what he was doing.
Against Portugal he played a system that allowed 2 attacking midfielders support the lone striker. The man tasked with running into the box was Lampard. As a result the highest number of chances in the tornament fell to him but he could not score one. He made the system seem like it did not work. The fact that so many chances were created showed Sven did his job. Up to the individal to finish chances
The guy was keen on Rooney because he knew few English players could play the lone striker role effectively. Rooney did well but it was partly his fault that things went wrong. His temper was well known so don't blame Sven
He did not pick Walcott to make a statement. That is your thinking. He was impressed by the kid
Defoe is average and his form isnothing to do with Sven. Did you realise he wasn't playing regularly for spurs before the WC? How many goals did he score last season? You are one of those who would blame Sven for anything
England played against an opposing eleven. Portugal did not come there to clean the english shoes. they were technically better. So don't beone of those English people who believe we England have a right to beat anyone and they are better than any team. This is far from the case. The players were just not good enough.
The press is the press. Brainless pundits are even worse
you will probably find some supporters of other teams blaming Arsenal and their lack of English players as a reason for England doing so badly.
The problem with that is it just highlights the fact that when Arsenal players do play for England, they should play, cos England seemed to be a better team when Arsenal players were involved i.e. Adams Seaman era.
This just shows that if you aren't good enough for Arsenal, then you probably aren't good enough to be playing for England !

That is the problem Wenger have. The skill level is often deficient but most importantly the attitude is often wrong. If you remember Cole's book, he had a problem with the fact that the current Arsenal bunch did not go out with him to get drunk, plastered to be precise. He expects those young kids to be exposed to alchoholism whereas the guys are concentrating on being good professional footballers.
AW wants English players but theyhave to be good enough and have the right attitude. I want English players at Arsenal and we have Walcott as an example of a player with the right attitude
I am not a fan of Beckham but I believe a manager must pick the best players available with the coutry's nationality. Politics should not come into it.
How can u play wing backs with Neville one of them? Cole is a Born wingback but not neville. It was Darren Anderton and Mcmanamann at euro 96. Why not Beckham if he is available. You have to ask yourself whether he is not better than players available for that position yesterday. Sven played him often because he knew when the chips are down and a goal is needed, a last minute free kick could be converted by David
You don't drop a national team player just to make a political statement. Good managers don't. If he is the best available at that given time, pick him.
Rooney and Crouch = shit combination. Walcott would do a better job.
Ferdinand wrote about how he isable to come out of defence under McLaren but not under Sven
Sven obviously was better and more experienced. he knew that many good teams would exploit any space vacated by a roaming defender as we saw with Croatian wingers exploiting the absence of Cole and Neville yesterday. That is why he demended better discipline. Is Ferdinand a manager? What does he real;ly know apart from big pay cheques?
Articles by former england managers, eng;lish managers in the premiership, former players etc. What did these guys win for Englnad? Nothing! Talk is cheap. Vernables had Euro 96 in his backyard yet he could not win it, yet he is talked of like he is some messiah.

I agree to a point.....i would however say that the players need to take their fair share or the blame.

Cloudstreet 25th Anniversary
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Cloudstreet, Tim Winton's sprawling, comic epic about luck and love, fortitude and forgiveness, and the magic of the everyday. However it may never have been published had it not been for the stranger who chased after Tim with the manuscript he'd left it on a bus in Rome. Since it was first published by McPhee Gribble on 1 April 1991 Tim Winton's award-winning novel has been reimagined as a successful play, a major TV mini-series and now an opera.

Oprah Winfrey's Network Draws Large Opening-Night Audience
Oprah Winfrey's new cable network made a splash in its debut Saturday night, reporting more than 1 million viewers for its first prime-time shows over a holiday weekend.
The new channel, dubbed OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network, launched at noon on New Year's Day, replacing little-watched cable network Discovery Health in around 80 million homes. At its peak Saturday night, the channel says more women between the ages of 25 and 54 were watching OWN than were watching all but two other cable networks— Walt Disney Co. DIS -0.80 % 's ESPN and General Electric Co. GE -0.51 % 's USA.
A 50-50 joint venture between Ms. Winfrey and Discovery Communications Inc., the channel is a big bet that Ms. Winfrey can convert the nearly 7 million people who watch her syndicated "The Oprah Winfrey Show." into loyal viewers of a cable channel. The network launched a big promotional campaign, and Ms. Winfrey devoted two episodes of her daytime show last week to plugs for the new network.
"The good news is people showed up when they marketed it aggressivelyand Oprah told them to go out and watch," said Rich Greenfield, a media analyst at brokerage firm BTIG. "The real question is how capable they'll be of sustaining the ratings over the coming months and years."
Ms. Winfrey was OWN's biggest draw, averaging 1.2 million viewers for the first two episodes of "Season 25: Oprah Behind the Scenes," a reality show that chronicles the final season of her daytime show, according to early Nielsen Co. data that the network released. Ms. Winfrey plans to tape the last episode of her daytime show in May, and its last episode will air in September.
On Sunday night, the network fared less well, averaging 822,000 viewers in prime time, OWN said. Its two-hour question-and-answer special, "Ask Oprah's All Stars," averaged 968,000 viewers. "Master Class," an interview show that featured ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer at 10 p.m., averaged 602,000.
Full Nielsen data on the opening weekend, including daytime shows will be available on Tuesday, OWN said.

In the mean time, what can I do to maintain or improve my credit score? Besides property or a car, what else might I buy on installment?
There is no need to buy a car or something else just to have an installment loan reporting.. check with banks in your area and find one that offers a secured loan... that is a loan secured by your money. What happens with a secured loan is that you take money to the bank and use it to buy a CD. They then take out a loan against the CD, and give you the money back. Then you pay the bill on the loan for 12 months, while earning interest on the CD. After 12 months, you own the CD free and clear, and you've built 12 months installment history which can help if you want to buy a car later on.

Flameworked sculptural and blown glass. Classic and contemporary artisan glass with purpose, taking nature and the natural world as inspiration. Glass lighting and chandeliers as well as gifts, jewellery and homewares.
My work explores our paradoxical relationship with the natural world, past and future. During the lengthy process of making – using sandblasting, filing, painting and layering of flash glass - I find dark adult jokes, medieval icons, urban detritus and nostalgic childhood images gradually appear.
Charlie Macpherson creates unique pieces of hand blown contemporary glass. His approach balances the simplicity of his forms with more complicated use of line and pattern.
I am a fused glass artist based in Manchester who makes homeware and jewellery. I love the challenging and sometimes unpredictable aspect of glass, as well as the design possibilities it offers. I find my inspiration in the world around me and I am particularly attracted to geometric shapes, repeated patterns, lines and colour.
I am interested in exploring the tension between reality and representation by constructing transitional, three-dimensional map-like objects. The act of mapping is a powerful tool for constructing new realities out of old facts, to visualize alternative worlds and to enable interrelationships between previously unrelated layers of information. Maps are evolving structures, rhizomatic in nature, able to unfold identities, to give room to exploration and procedures of relating.
Designer and maker of Architectural Glass.
I work in many forms, sizes and techniques, all reached to create the ideas that nature, architecture and my photography inspire in me.
The scale of my work varies from installations to vessels and jewellery, and is in private, national and college collections. I teach from our beautiful, light, well equipped studio in West London and Brent.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are in for a "grey and
grim" day for their first official engagement in Wellington
today, MetService says.
The wet and windy weather could lead to another case of
Catherine holding down her dress to protect her modesty, as
the capital is looking at a "hold onto your hat type day",
said meteorologist Dan Corbett.
"It's yucky, it's almost like mother nature said, 'oh you're
coming to visit New Zealand and you're from Britain, this is
typical spring weather in Britain'," he said.
The city would struggle to reach a high of 16C degrees today,
with a keen southerly and spells of rain continuing
throughout the day.
Heavy, persistent rain overnight had seen Kelburn record 83mm
of rain in the last 24 hours, with 54mm at Wellington
Airport, and more than 100mm over the ranges to the east of
the city, Mr Corbett said.
Earlier weather warnings, which covered the Rimutaka Ranges
and Wairarapa - where Prince William, Catherine and Prince
George were rumoured to have spent yesterday in a luxury
lodge - are due to expire at midday.
"The persistent stuff that was with us last night has moved
through, so it's just cloudy, drizzly, just yucky."
Winds would begin to ease up during the day, he said.
However, things will brighten up slightly for William and
Kate in Blenheim tomorrow, with less risk of rain.
Mr Corbett said he had been "typing up a few emails to mother
nature" to persuade her to improve the weather for the rest
of the royal visit.
"Maybe she's got the computer turned off, but hopefully
she'll start listening."
