Red Peppers Stuffed with Orzo and Feta Cheese
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Our weather continues to be uncharacteristically warm and Bob has been uncharacteristically hungry. Despite the heat, he's been felling trees and that kind of work demands calories to stoke the fire. I decided to do a mini Mediterranean feast for his supper tonight. I pan grilled double cut lamb chops and served them with an Israeli salad and orzo stuffed peppers that are reminiscent of those served in the Greek isles. The peppers are lovely and add great color to the table. While they take time to cook, they are really easy to do and they are a relative bargain at this time of year. I can't help but add they would also be wonderful entree for Meatless Monday. Sweet peppers are slowly making their way to our green markets and in another month we'll be able to buy them four to the dollar. Even now they are a bargain when compared to their winter prices. I had six gorgeous bright red bell peppers that needed attention and this dish was a perfect way to enjoy their luscious summer flavor. The recipe on which the peppers are based was developed by Gordon Hamersley for Fine Cooking Magazine over a decade ago. I keep very few recipes for that length of time, so you know in my book it's a keeper. This is one of those recipes I play with. I suspect you will to. There are times I add pine nuts and sun-dried tomatoes to the mix, and others where green olives, raisins and orange zest best suit my fancy of the day. Now, I don't mean to shock you, but I've even been known to follow the recipe exactly as it's was written. If you don't have or like kale, substitute spinach or arugula. If you can't use wine, use water or vegetable stock. I use a white French vermouth to make mine, hearkening back to the days when Julia Child suggested using a good vermouth in place of a mediocre white wine for cooking. I really hope you'll try the peppers. You really can't go wrong. Here's the recipe.
Red Peppers Stuffed with Orzo and Feta Cheese...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite inspired by Gordon Hamersley
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided use
1 medium red onion, cut into large dice
2-1/2 ounces kale, washed and torn into bite-size pieces (2 cups lightly packed)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1-2/3 cups cooked orzo, cooled (from 3/4 cup raw orzo)
Grated zest from 1/2 lemon
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from about 1/2 lemon)
1/4 pound feta cheese
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1-1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
8 Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
6 medium red bell peppers
1-1/2 cups dry white wine or water
1) Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet until moderately hot. Add red onion and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally until soft, about 5 minutes.. Add kale and cook, stirring often, until wilted and tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2) Combine onion and kale with the orzo, lemon zest, lemon juice, feta cheese, oregano, thyme, parsley, and olives in a large bowl. Toss gently until combined and season with salt and pepper.
3) Slice off top 1/2 inch of each pepper and reserve. With a paring knife, cut away ribs and discard. Turn pepper upside down and pat it to get all the seeds to fall out. Divide orzo filling among peppers. Replace top of each pepper.
4) Place peppers in a medium baking dish and sprinkle them with reserved 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season again with salt and pepper. Pour wine in pan. Bake until peppers are very tender and slightly blackened on top, about 1-1/2 hours. Yield: 6 servings.

These look wonderful! (as always) I have adapted a similar recipe from Giada- I think I may have posted it a while back- and it's a family favorite. Red peppers are normally so pricey here that we enjoy them as much as we can this time of year!

Mary...stuffed peppers are going to be made soon, especially since I know the abundance of these red veggie joys will be at my doorstep at any moment ;o)
I enjoy the fact that you know how to changing things up a little...I'd probably use 'Sherry' instead of the white wine...how's that for stirring things up. Love your dish...very tasty and satisfying ;o)
Ciao for now and have a fabulous day,

The ripe peppers that are abundant at this time of year are my favorites- the green ones, I don't tolerate too well. All of the flavors in this sound lovely. I love Orzo but just don't think about using it. (And there the lonely Orzo sits in my cupboard, patiently waiting for Mary to provide a recipe.) My Orzo thanks you- or does it? Thanks for sharing :)

When I was a kid, every time my mom would make stuffed peppers, I would rather go to my room then eat. lol These are definitely not my mother's stuffed peppers! :) I love orzo, I love red peppers (now)...this sounds wonderful!

I'll bet these are just wonderful! I never thought of using red peppers. What a colorful look.
I have always used green,but I'm going to try the red pepper now. It'll be a totally different taste. - July 27, 2010 at 9:18 AM

These look delicious. I have everything but the kale and olives, so it would be easy to make these this week. They are a far cry from my meatloaf-like stuffing!

Welcome to my blog, Mary!! I must admit that I've never seen anyone with as many followers as you, how do you find the time to find new blogs and comment on them? I have a new follower that just signed on with me, #36, I believe. I don't think this person has ever commented and I can't find them. Might you be the mystery follower? I see that we like quite a few of the same movies, Moonstruck and Shadowlands included. I'm not big on fancy food, and my favorite meal is soup. Your recipes look just delightful! And your pictures are so good, they show the food in detail. What state do you live in? I am signing up to follow you, feel free to e-mail me, as I do like to get to know my blog friends.

I like the additon of the feta cheese. That has to put the finishing touches on the stuffed peppers.
Our peppers are still expensive and I doubt, they will come down. We used to grow them and that was convenient and cheap but now, it is tomatoes. They are the best tomatoes around. I do miss my big garden. - July 27, 2010 at 8:36 PM

First I want to tell you that your picture of these peppers is gorgeous! I love that you placed the tops back on them.
Secondly, I read a lot about trying vermouth and I'm glad you mentioned that in your post. I definitely want to buy some and give it a try.
Sounds like you made quite a feast for your husband. He is a lucky man! - July 27, 2010 at 8:43 PM

Follow these tips to have a great indie travel experience in Berlin.
- Stroll around the city and check out the architecture. Though much of the city was destroyed in WWII and the years following, they have done a tremendous job building the city back up.
- For some more off the beaten paths buildings to explore, check out the following
- The Chapel of Reconciliation
- Am Kupfergraben 10
- The Nordic Embassies
- There are a lot of great museums in Berlin, but they can be pricey. Look into the three day Museum Pass to save a few bucks.
- If you don't fancy spending a lot of dough on museums, then check out all the private art galleries. You can see some more modern stuff, for free, and get the chance to interact with local artists.
- Instead of paying for one of those expensive walking tours, get out your guidebook and plan one of your own independently. It's a great way to see the sites on your own pace, and there are plenty of book stores and resources you can use to learn about what you're seeing.
- Check out one of the many parks Berlin has:
- Tiergarten is the largest park in the city, and if you want to hand out with the locals, come on the weekends as it will be packed with Germans having barbecues.
- Viktoriapark has some great views of south Berlin.
- If you want to check out Charlottenburg Palace but don't want to pay, see it from Schlossgarten Charlottenburg inside the Palace walls.
Read: Berlin: 7 Things You Should Know About the Ever Changing City.
Why you should add Berlin to your RTW travel list
- See where the Berlin Wall used to be
- Walk through the Brandenburg Gate
- Watch how East and West still mix and mingle and collide
- See wartime history in a modern, bustling city
- Easy to hit the rest of Germany from here
- Yep, beer still comes in big steins
- Berliners can teach you how to really live it up
- Checkpoint Charlie, Checkpoint Charlie!
- The public transportation system is excellent
- Eating out is much less expensive than most western European cities of the same size, so take advantage.
Read: Communism & Kitsch in Central Europe.
Why you should not add Berlin to your RTW travel list
- Berlin is a massive city, so getting around can be difficult and expensive.
Berlin is the capital city of Germany and the largest city in the country. It is in a near-constant state of reinvention and reconstruction since the fall of the Berlin Wall, and any guidebook you've got will be out of date by next year. Though much of Berlin's buildings were damaged during the final years of World War II, it is still a city known for its interesting architecture which spans many different historic periods. Also, because the city was divided for so many years, it doesn't have one true "city center." There are many neighborhoods in Berlin, each with its own style and central area.
Read: Slow Way to Berlin.
What to do
No trip to Berlin would be complete without a look at what's left of the Berlin Wall. The entire span of where the Wall once stood is marked by a row of bricks in the pavement, and makes for an interesting walk. You'll see how haphazardly the city was divided. You can see a few remaining parts of the wall which still stand east of the city center along the River Spree (called the East Side Gallery). There is also the Berlin Wall Memorial to those who died in their attempts to escape from East Berlin and of course the Potsdamer Platz (once split it two by the Wall) and the Brandenburg Gate which has served as the backdrop for several important speeches (including Ronald Reagan's "Tear down this wall" speech).
If you can handle long lines (or if you get lucky and don't find one), climb to the top of the glass dome atop the Reichstag (the German parliament building) for a wonderful city view. For other views from above, the Fernsehturm is the tallest tower in Germany and has a rotating cafe at the top; or get your exercise by climbing the 285 steps to the top of the Siegessule with its golden statue of Victoria on top.
Berlin has no shortage of historical sites and museums to see. Among the more important are the Museum at Checkpoint Charlie (a fascinating look at the years when the city was divided, including the many successful and unsuccessful attempts to escape from East Germany, in the same building since before the Wall came down), Story of Berlin (documents the city's history), Jewish Museum (notable for its architecture as well as its contents), Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe (relatively new, covering an entire city block with an underground museum), and Pergamonmuseum (extensive collection of ancient Greek, ancient Middle-Eastern and Islamic art and sculpture).
The fashionable KuDamm, once the heart of West Berlin, is still where you'll find the city's best and biggest shops. Even if you don't buy anything, a trip through the multi-storey Kaufhaus des Westens (or KaDeWe, as it's called locally), the largest department store on the European Continent, can be fun – be sure to check out the top floor and wonder what it would be like if every mall's food court looked like that. The KuDamm is also home to the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, a constant reminder that this bustling and lively city was once at the center of a long and bloody war.
Read: Berlin Breakdown.
Getting there
You can book a flight into Berlin-Tegel International Airport (code: TXL), which is the largest of the 3 airports serving Berlin. You might find lower airfare into Berlin-Schonefeld International Airport (code: SXF), which handles many cheap charter flights. It's scheduled to become the main Berlin airport in 2011, after completion of a huge expansion currently underway.
Where to stay
There are hundreds of hotels in Berlin, and most of them are fairly expensive. Fortunately there are also loads of hostels in Berlin as well, which can really help keep costs down. This is a spread-out city so there is no ideal neighborhood. Things tend to be cheaper and more trendy in the former East, and nicer and more expensive in the former West, but it's getting more mixed up these days.
For more cheap hotels in Berlin, visit our friends at EuroCheapo.

Kin Shriner, Jane Elliot and Anthony Geary
Drinking! Deceit! Debauchery! And some of it even happened on screen. General Hospital was one wild and crazy place in the late '70s and early '80s under the command of the brilliant yet oh-so-lethal exec producer Gloria Monty. In honor of the ABC soap's 50th anniversary, TV Guide Magazine gathered three survivors of the era — good friends Tony Geary (Luke), Jane Elliot (Tracy) and Kin Shriner (Scotty) — for a raucous lunch near the GH studio. Shriner shows up at the restaurant in a bright cherry-red shirt, the exact same color as Geary's pants. "How weird is that?" says Shriner. "If we put your pants with my shirt it would look kind of clownish." Says Geary with a laugh: "I hate to tell ya, but we're both halfway there now." Elliot, for reasons to be revealed later, is wearing a large smock. Geary orders pasta. Shriner and Elliot get the fish tacos, with Elliot noting, "Kin, who has way too much time on his hands, called me yesterday to discuss in detail the fish tacos he was going to have here today." Soon enough the memories are flying. Who quit the show in a tiff over $50? Who got arrested on the way to work? Who had a steady stream of sexmates coming in and out of the dressing room? It's all here and lots more, so get ready for the full Monty!
TV Guide Magazine: It's such a joy to have the old guard back together on GH these days. Jane, I saw you on Access Hollywood asking a great question: "Why did these people ever go away?"
Elliot: I'll tell you why! It's a writing issue. Writers dry up. They can't think of a place to go with the older characters. It's easier for them to do an old story with a new character than do a new story with an old character.
Geary: And let us not forget that writers get residuals for every new character they create as long as that character is on the air.
Elliot: It's my belief that The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful are the highest-rated shows because they use the same people decade after decade. That's what this audience wants to see — their old characters in new situations. And that's what our current executive producer and head writer, Frank Valentini and Ron Carlivati, are delivering.
Geary: Usually, new producers and writers want to put their stamp on a show. They don't want to continue what's working. They want to reinvent the wheel. It's an ego thing. And once they've gotten rid of characters that were well known and deeply loved, they think they can create that same magic with new characters. Frank and Ron did the exact opposite and it saved our ass. Things were pretty rough there for a while, but they got better as soon as [ABC Daytime chief] Brian Frons left. He hated the soap medium. He hated it from the beginning. He wanted reality TV.
Shriner: It's weird how it all changed overnight. Everybody was firing everybody. Brian fired [head writer] Bob Guza. Then [exec producer] Jill Phelps got fired. Then ABC fired Brian. "You're fired!" "No, you're fired!" It was crazy. But, then, out of the ashes came Frank and Ron.
Geary: The timing was so right.
TV Guide Magazine: Do you even have to think about playing your characters anymore?
Geary: Not at all. You get to the point where the character just lives inside you. You don't have to struggle. It's just always there.
Elliot: It's true! The first day of shooting the Nurses Ball, we all had to walk the red carpet, something I, Jane, have never done in my own life. I always go in the back door. So I was very uncomfortable with the whole idea but then we get the count — 5-4-3-2-1 — and out of me comes this person who is prancing and posing and preening, and I'm thinking, "Who the f–k is that?" It was Tracy Quartermaine! The next day, Dee was doing my roots — Deidre Hall…she does my hair — and I was telling her about what I'd done on the red carpet and she says, "Show me." And I tried but I couldn't recreate it, not if my life had depended on it, because it wasn't me who'd done it to begin with. It was Tracy.
Geary: Jane once said something to me that was so profoundly true. We were getting ready to do a scene and I said, "God, I am so bored." And she said, "Don't worry, Luke isn't." And she was right. It doesn't matter if I'm bored or sick or tired. Luke is never bored. He is ready to kick ass at any moment.
TV Guide Magazine: Kin, you were one of the last to be asked back. What's up with that?
Shriner: Good question. All my pals are going back to work and I'm sitting on my sea wall down in Florida wondering, "When am I gonna get a call?" I really wanted back in the fold because we've all really stayed tight. I'm on the phone with Lynn Herring [Lucy] all the time. I stay in touch with Genie Francis [Laura] and Jackie Zeman [Bobbie]. I also talk to Tony and Jane from time to time but they don't like to talk to me as much as Lynn does. They're hard to get on the phone.
Elliot: I heard you woke up Lynn's husband, Wayne [Northrop], at 6 a.m. the other day. Kin loves to talk on the phone.
Geary: [Laughs] Hey, it's not that we're hard to get on the phone. It's that it's hard to get you off the phone!
Elliot: Jack Wagner [Frisco] calls Kin a PTW.
Shriner: Yes, it's true. I am a Professional Time Waster. What can I say? My brother has thrown me out of his house for that a few times, even in the rain. But I don't waste people's time talking about me. I have a couple of secrets in my tool box. If you go out with somebody and get them talking about themselves, you're in! That could be good for hours! And it really helps if you give 'em a few drinks.
TV Guide Magazine: Do you remember the first time you laid eyes on each other?
Elliot: I was already on the show when Tony came along. I tested with him and six or eight other guys who were up for the role of Mitch Williams. When you test, you're doing the same scene over and over and so often the actors will give similar readings. But when Tony came in, it was [her jaw drops open] "Wow! This is a horse of a different color!" In your audition you improvised something with a pen. What was it?
Geary: I was sitting at Tracy's desk, picked up a pen and started playing Tic Tac Toe, and Jane walked in, grabbed the pen out of my hand, finished the game and said, "I win!" And that set the tone for our entire real-life relationship. [Laughs] Nothing's changed.
TV Guide Magazine: Were you shocked Tony didn't get the part?
Elliot: No, because Gloria Monty created the Luke Spencer character right then and there. She saw a much better role for him.
Geary: And it took them 30 years to put Luke and Tracy together. Until then, we hardly ever shared scenes.
Elliot: I'm done with the relish storyline. I want my Luke back.
Geary: Me, too. I want my Tracy.
Shriner: Geez, why don't you two get a room! The first time I saw Tony I was watching him shoot this scene where Luke was sabotaging Scotty's car, but he didn't just sabotage it, he was whistling the whole time he was doing it. I'm thinking, "Who is this guy? Where did he come from? What a great actor!" Of course, I should have known, right then and there, that the days of Scotty and Laura were over.
Geary: Jane, when did you first encounter Kin?
Elliot: I don't remember the first time we met but I can never forget sharing a wall with him. Our dressing rooms were right next to each other, and he was constantly slipping girls in and out. And I mean constantly! They'd come out of his room pulling up their skirts, zipping up their pants. I'd be, like, "Really, Kin? Really?"
Shriner: Ah, those were my young Errol Flynn days!
Elliot: And he'd always leave the water running in the sink! Back then, we'd lock our rooms and wear our keys around our necks because there were a lot of robberies, and Kin would leave the water running, lock the door and go up to the stage. It drove me crazy knowing he was wasting gallons and gallons and gallons of water. It would torture me! "Goddammit, Kin, would you turn your water off when you leave the room? Is that too much to ask?"
Shriner: I still always wonder if I've left the water on. It happened today while I was driving to see you guys.
Elliot: Kin and I had a little thing back then…our characters, that is.
Shriner: Remember the scene where I had you spread across my desk?
TV Guide Magazine: Gee, why didn't that blossom into super-coupledom?
Geary: [Laughs] Yeah, what a mystery!
TV Guide Magazine: Jane, how come you only lasted two years back then?
Elliot: [Hesitates for a moment] Is Gloria dead? Oh, yeah, that's right, Gloria's dead. Is her sister, Norma, dead?
Geary: Norma just recently died.
Elliot: Okay, then I can tell this story. I quit because Gloria insulted me. I was making, like, a dollar and a quarter a week — horrible money, so little money that I asked for a $50 raise and Gloria told my agent I was unprofessional. Now, you can call me a lot of things but you cannot call me unprofessional. I was so insulted she applied that word to me that I said, "I'm not working for her anymore!" I finished out my contract and left. I went to Knots Landing for a bit, then Guiding Light. I didn't return until after Gloria was gone.
TV Guide Magazine: Ever regret leaving?
Elliot: Nope.
TV Guide Magazine: Not even once? Seriously?
Elliot: Okay, yes, once. When I was on All My Children, I went over to see Julia Barr [Brooke] for lunch at her house in New Jersey and her place was so beautiful. She had these incredible lighting fixtures and every piece of furniture was functional art — just exquisite! And I sat there thinking, "So this is what you get if you stay on a show!" That's the only thing I regret — that I missed the ability to create a really stunning environment for myself. But artistically? No regrets whatsoever.
Geary: Had you already done that great, iconic scene where Tracy keeps the heart medicine from her father, before you made the decision to walk?
Elliot: Yes, but I was off the show by the time I won the Emmy. That's another thing! Gloria didn't want me to be nominated. She picked the people she wanted on the ballot. One day I got a call from her secretary who said, "It's time for the Emmy submissions and Gloria refuses to nominate you. I think you should come down here and nominate yourself." I said, "I'll be right there!" And that's the only time I ever did that. The Emmys are not my thing.
TV Guide Magazine: So that's why you didn't allow yourself to be put on the ballot this year — a year when you had the award in the bag?
Elliot: As I said, not my thing.
Geary: And that's such a sore subject with me. Jane and I have had this conversation so many times over the years. I think she's crazy not to submit herself, especially this year. It's so irritating.
Shriner: You could have had as many Emmys as Tony has.
Geary: Yeah, hell-oooo…
Elliot: It's not a party I want to go to. Period.
Shriner: Tony and Jane are like that great old acting team that used to be on Broadway. What was it? Funk and Wagner? No…Wagnall?
Geary: Uh…Lunt and Fontanne?
Shriner: Yeah, that's it!
Elliot: Frank keeps promising us that Tracy and Luke are getting back together. But, right now, Luke has his hands full. Is Laura back on the air yet?
TV Guide Magazine: I take it you don't watch the show?
Geary: She doesn't watch — and that's why she doesn't realize she should be nominated.
Elliot: I did see them make fun of one of my Pickle-Lila scenes the other night on The Soup. It was very funny.
TV Guide Magazine: Give us another Gloria Monty story.
Geary: Wow, there are so many! The first thing that comes to mind is this trip a bunch of us took to a Native American reservation in Arizona or Utah somewhere. Chris Robinson [Rick] was opening a little shop at a museum there and he got me, Jackie Zeman, Lester [Leslie Charleson, Monica], Susan Brown [Gail] and Gloria to fly out with him. For some reason, the big thing there was tossing cow chips — otherwise known as dried cow s–t — and the winner is the one who can toss it the furthest. We all had to do it, including Gloria, who says in that grande-dame voice of hers, "Oh, Lester, dear…would you choose one for me?" — like she was talking about hors d'oeuvres on a party tray. So Lester went and got a very special one and handed it to Gloria who said, "I don't think this one is going to go very far, Lester dear. It's still wet."
Shriner: I have a fond memory of driving with Gloria in my open jeep over Mulholland Canyon with her almost spilling out. She was screaming, "Kin! Slow down! Kin! Stop!" Another time I was on my way to work on my motorcycle and drove past Chris Robinson on the side of the road in handcuffs. He said "You need to tell Gloria I won't be into work today!" I said, "I'm not gonna be the one to tell her! She'll kill me!"
Elliot: Those were the days when you never missed work. They would put out a barf bucket next to the stage and if you had the stomach flu…
Shriner: Or a bad hangover…
Elliot: You'd finish your scenes, barf in the bucket and come back and continue working. There was no such thing as calling in sick.
Shriner: They also had a doctor who'd show up with shots for whatever ailed you.
Geary: For those who showed up too drunk to work, they'd sober you up with vitamin B.
Shriner: The partying never stopped. We'd leave work at GH at 9 p.m., head over to Flippers Roller Disco, down a few kamikazes, skate until 2 a.m., then be back on the job by sunrise. Then the next night, we'd do it all over again!
Geary: It never seemed decadent. It all seemed so natural to us. We thought that's what show business was all about.
TV Guide Magazine: And you weren't scared of Gloria's reaction?
Shriner: She was very scary but she also had a great sense of humor. If you could get her to laugh you were in business, so I always played that angle on her and then she would not be so angry at me. But we all got yelled at quite a bit.
TV Guide Magazine: Even Mr. Geary, the superstar?
Geary: Oh, yeah, I got it, too. But I loved Gloria. I didn't have the same problems a lot of people had with her
Elliot: [Laughs] Because you were drunker than the rest of us!
Geary: I was drunker! But she could be brutal and say, "You gotta do that scene again. It was horrible!" You did it to her satisfaction, not to your own.
Elliot: And you didn't get to argue. With Gloria, it was her way or the highway. And, damn it, she was always right. She was so smart but also very vicious, and we all felt we were in the trenches together. We were young, we really liked each other and those friendships have prevailed. We go to the movies together, we travel together. We've cheered each other's wins, mourned each other's losses. We've gone through marriages, divorces, births, deaths. Kin was with me the night my father died. He was the person I most needed to call. And I was with Tony the night his mother died. We share such a rich history and a very abnormal one. Sometimes we'd be at the studio until 2 a.m. and had to be back to work at the crack of dawn so we just slept in our dressing rooms. There was no union protection. Nobody was taking care of us. Overtime was, like, $5 an hour. There was no penalty to work us long hours, so Gloria had free rein and could do whatever she wanted. As a result, we formed really close bonds. God, she was mean! But she also was a really great talent picker. She picked Tony, she picked me. She could see who had something different.
Shriner: I was already on the show when Gloria got there, so what are you saying — that she got stuck with me?
Geary: But she never got rid of you, so there's a compliment. She had no shyness about firing people.
Shriner: One time she sent a hurricane through the town and wiped out all the actors she didn't like. The writers had Scotty and Laura locked in a shed during the storm so they could survive.
Geary: [Laughs] One day, Gloria turned to me on the set and said in dismay, "Look at all these children. We have too many kids on the show right now. I feel a school-bus crash coming on…"
Elliot: We used to have this Styrofoam egg…[she stops abruptly and looks down at her smock]…Kin, you just spit food on me! Unbelievable! I had hoped to make it through the whole meal without this.
Shriner: Did I get fish taco on you?
Elliot: Yes, and that's why I wore my smock to this lunch. For this very reason! He's the sloppiest eater on the planet.
Shriner: So that's why you're wearing that smock? When you showed up in that thing I was thinking, "Hmm…is this the new fashion? Is it maternity wear?"
Elliot: No, it's my Lunch-with-Kin wear! Unbelievable! So, anyway…we used to have this Styrofoam egg on the set, like the kind you find at the craft store at Easter, and we called it the dinosaur egg because, well, Gloria was a dinosaur. When it was your turn to catch hell from her — when no matter what you did that week was wrong and she'd really hammer you for it — you'd return to your dressing room and there would be the egg. It was this compassionate reminder that there's nothing wrong with you, that it was just your turn in the barrel and that this, too, shall pass. And then that person would hand it to the next innocent victim.
Geary: There was this actress on our show named Mary O'Brien — she played Heather before they cast Robin Mattson — and she was having trouble crying in a scene. Gloria came out of the control room and said, "You've got to cry! We need you to cry!" Mary tried it again and Gloria came back out and said, 'You're still faking it! I want real tears!" After another three or four trips to the stage, Gloria finally went ballistic. "You must be the worst actress I've ever hired! I don't know what the hell was wrong with me! The whole scene is hinging on this! You are ruining General Hospital!" And she went on and on until Mary started to cry. Then Gloria said, "Yes! That's it! Shoot it!" And she walked off the set. There were times when I was embarrassed for people, when Gloria humiliated somebody beyond the pale. But I did love her eccentricities.
Shriner: You gotta have a Captain Nemo at the helm — like a Frank or a Gloria — who sees the big picture. When we shot the Luke and Laura wedding and Scotty made a surprise appearance and caught the bouquet, Gloria had me hiding out in a trailer on the set so the word wouldn't get out — and this was decades before people were spoiling things by Googling. No, that's not it. What do they call it? Tweeting! That was the first time I met Tristan Rogers [Robert]. [Laughs] He was in the same trailer sleeping one off. Hey, remember those public appearances we'd all go on together? Remember when they actually paid soap stars to show up somewhere?
Geary: Once I was hired to go down to the Grand Ole Opry for a series of appearances, and Kin was there too. We hung out together and got so carried away we didn't make it to one of the shows. They came after me — not Kin — and said, "The only reason you're here is to make sure Kin makes it to the stage." I thought, "Oh, really? In that case, Kin, why don't we skip the next show, too?"
Elliot: They were so rowdy back then.
Shriner: Tony, remember when we got lost in Canada one night? And that time you were up on the roof ready to take a swan dive into the pool? In those days you'd end up in some pretty weird spots, because the appearances would be in some mall in some far-off part of the country and they happened every weekend, so we were never quite sure where we were. And the drinking didn't help. Leslie Charleson has a whole bunch of pictures of her and me on one of those trips, and neither one of us can remember a single moment of it. We have the evidence — there we are posing with people, doing this, doing that, and looking like we're having fun. But we're, like, "How come we can't remember it?"
Elliot: Kin! Kin! [Brushing more fish taco off her smock] You did it again! Why aren't you spitting on Tony! Why is it always in my direction? Un-be-lievable!
Shriner: I'm always annoying Jane. Remember that time I ripped a couple of pages out of your script because I had to look at something really quickly?
Elliot: I went crazy!
Shriner: Not just crazy. She went monkey crazy!
Elliot: You know, I really, really hate it in interviews when actors say, "This cast is like a family." But this is my family!
Geary: It's like we're a club, a posse. And we all have similar memories though very different stories to tell. [Laughs] And, as you can tell, we never tire of telling them!

A MUGA is a type of sporting facility which can be used for various sports.
A variety of surface types can be used to install a MUGA including tarmac, polymeric, 2G artificial grass, needlepunch and 3G synthetic turf.
The type of surface which is installed is generally decided once you know what sort of sports you would like to play on the area. Our line marking specialists can complete mark out sports lines for various surface types.
Playgrounds will often have tarmac surfaces, making the line marking process very simple. We include extras like non slip painting which can improve the courts if required.
For more details, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Tarmacadam flooring and polymeric rubber are some of the activity surface varieties that our team generally build for projects.
Tarmacadam is known as a permeable flooring type comprised of rocks combined with hot tar which is applied onto the area and leaves a solid floor.
The EPDM rubber surfacing choice is generated using a mixture of specialist glue and rubberised crumb that is merged together and installed on to a tarmac base.

We apply an anti-slip paint onto the surface to improve slip resistance and make the court look more professional.
Colour spraying is carried out by professionals to create a smooth even layer. We will need to clean the surface prior to installing the anti-slip paint to ensure that the paint remains upon the surface.
If the court is dirty when applying the paint, the paint can come away with the dirt; this is why it is important to have the court professionally cleaned first. Our experts can also install a polyurethane binder prior to painting the surface if required.
The polyurethane binder is used to strengthen the existing court, as it acts as a type of glue which sticks all the loose tarmac together in order to prevent fretting. It also helps to stick the paint to the surfacing better which increases the longevity of the surface.
Once the colour coating has been applied, our specialists in East Dunbartonshire G66 8 can undertake expert line marking. We install line markings in a variety of different colours depending on your preferences.

To generate more desirable playing characteristics and safety elements, our company offers professional sports colouring solutions for these surfacing varieties.
Our professional staff can apply a coloured covering in either acrylic or polyurethane paint to fit your unique design and colour preferences. These types of specialist paint applications contribute extra grip and traction for the activities area to improve game playing along with prevent injuries.
In addition to painting the surfacing, we'll mark out specialist sport markings for the preferred activities to guarantee the very best sport scoring accuracy and reliability.
This will make game scoring easier in competitive games given that the lines are clear to see.
When the installation of the activities area is complete, you need to conduct MUGA surfacing maintenance consistently to help keep it in very good shape.
This process may include brushing and jet washing the space using a specialist cleansing treatment, applying chemical treatment methods and carrying out repairs if necessary.

Tennessee Guard recruiter held in superiors' shooting
Published 12:00 am Friday, October 25, 2013
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Subdued by fellow soldiers and arrested by local police, a Tennessee National Guardsman was likely to face federal charges Friday in the shooting of two of his superiors at an armory north of Memphis.
The sergeant first class, whose name was not released, had been disciplined before he opened fire with a handgun Thursday at the armory in Millington, Tenn., according to a law enforcement official who had been briefed on the case.
The official was not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The wounded — a major and a sergeant major who had both served overseas — were expected to be released from a Memphis hospital soon, said Maj. Gen. Max Haston, adjutant general of the Tennessee Guard.
All three of the men were recruiters, and the shooter has been in the Guard about six or seven years, Haston said.
Asked about the discipline the man had faced before the shooting, Haston would only say there were "administrative policies and procedures that we were going through with him."
The man was being held pending the filing of charges.
The armory, which houses a recruitment office, sits across the street from Naval Support Activity Mid-South on land that used to be part of a larger military installation. Navy officials ordered a lockdown there during the tense minutes after the midafternoon shooting, lifting it after word came that the gunman was in custody.
Millington Police Chief Rita Stanback said the shooter was apprehended by other National Guard members and he did not have the small handgun used in the shooting in his possession by the time officers arrived. Stanback said one victim was shot in the foot, the other in the leg.
"I'm sure there could have been more injury if they hadn't taken him into custody," Stanback said.
There are more than 7,500 military, civilian and contract personnel working on the Navy base, according to its website. The facility is home to human resources operations and serves as headquarters to the Navy Personnel Command, Navy Recruiting Command, the Navy Manpower Analysis Center and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Finance Center.

Obama's Most Important Diplomacy
President Obama's foreign policy now seems to be defined by a series of ironies.President Obama's foreign policy now seems to be defined by a series of ironies.
Having pledged to pivot from an emphasis on the Middle East to a focus on Asia, he has announced that the two large public initiatives of his closing years will involve Iran and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Having begun as a foreign policy realist, he found himself at the United Nations on Tuesday defending U.S. global commitments in the name of an idealistic American exceptionalism.
The last month has subjected Obama's international strategy to turbulent tests and his performance drew the most sharply negative reviews of his presidency. His foreign policy ratings took a tumble. The Economist magazine splashed the provocative words "The weakened West" across the cover of a recent issue.
On Syria, the president (rightly in my view) proposed military action in response to a violation of his red line against chemical weapons. But he failed to prepare the public for his move and was left facing a bipartisan rebuke in Congress. He was rescued only by a Russian diplomatic initiative that the president's allies insist was the product of the administration's own groundwork.
In the meantime, years of very tough sanctions that left Iran's economy in shambles and altered the country's internal balance of political power have opened an opportunity for negotiations over curbing Tehran's nuclear program and creating a new relationship between longtime adversaries.
In a matter of weeks, talk of war has been replaced by the promise of diplomacy. What happened?
There was an important clue in Obama's U.N. speech when he expressed the impatience of the American people over the world's ambivalence about U.S. power. Americans, he said, were tired of being criticized simultaneously for meddling too much and for engaging too little, especially in the Middle East.
"The danger for the world is not an America that is too eager to immerse itself in the affairs of other countries, or take on every problem in the region as its own," he said. "The danger for the world is that the United States, after a decade of war, rightly concerned about issues back home, aware of the hostility that our engagement in the region has engendered throughout the Muslim world, may disengage, creating a vacuum of leadership that no other nation is ready to fill."
Presidents rarely tell the world to put up or shut up. But that's what his countrymen need to hear now. The core fact of American foreign policy is that the experiences of Iraq and Afghanistan have left most Americans utterly exasperated by war. The Iraq syndrome will prove to be far more traumatic than the Vietnam syndrome.
As it was, it took 16 years after the fall of Saigon before Americans were ready to see the United States lead a major military effort — George H.W. Bush's successful campaign to evict Saddam Hussein's forces from Kuwait. With Syria, Americans were called to an act of war even before U.S. troops were out of Afghanistan and less than two years after our armed forces were withdrawn from Iraq.
The public's reluctance to support Obama's effort to punish the Assad regime does not mean the American people want the United States to give up on its global role. But it was a cry for more time — and a demand that the case for American global responsibility be made afresh.
The problem does not extend to Asia and the Pacific, where many nations welcome the United States as a force for stability and prosperity. Obama's "pivot" continues. But there is no escaping our commitments to the Middle East. In the wake of what Obama spoke of as our "hard-earned humility" after Iraq, the president is now trying to achieve through talks what the American people would prefer not to achieve through force.
As long as he was pulling out troops from old conflicts and dealing with terrorist threats through drone attacks and the deployment of Special Forces, Obama maintained popular support because his approach abroad kept the costs at home relatively low. Recent events have upset that arrangement.
The president's U.N. speech suggests that he knows full well that the most vital negotiation he faces is not with Iran or Syria but with his fellow citizens. Thus the largest irony: Having pledged to end wars and focus on problems at home, Obama finds himself defending a robust American role around the globe — to other nations, yes, but above all to his own people.
