Jan 21, 2014 | Carpet One Floor & Home
We asked The Decorologist, Kristie Barnett, to share some her expert tips for easy updates that can transform your home. Here's what we found out:
BDMS: What are some of your "go-to" no (or low) cost ways to re-do a room?
The Decorologist: Shopping your own house. When I first begin working with a client, I make sure we scour their entire house - including closets, drawers, storage areas - to see if they have furniture or accessories that we may want to use in a different way or in a different room. They often have more to work with than they think - they just need someone to help them see using things with fresh eyes. Another way to re-do a room for no cost is to simply rearrange the furniture and accessories. Clear out the room completely so that you can look at it objectively. In your new arrangement, balance the furniture on architectural focal points (like fireplace, windows, light fixtures) to create harmonious groupings. Only rehang art after your new furniture arrangement is in place. Finally, a new paint color is inexpensive and can change the way the entire room feels. Always test colors before committing to a brand new one.
BDMS: How can a new coat of paint change the way other parts of your room look (flooring, furniture, etc.).
The Decorologist: Color is relative - paint colors look slightly different in every space, depending on lighting conditions and surrounding fixed elements. I find that a background paint color in the green or blue families make natural woods (furniture and flooring) look richer in contrast. Since the undertones of wood are either yellow, orange, or red, using those colors as a backdrop is not the best way to go if you want to complement the wood. Those colors will either compete with the wood or make it look bland and washed out.
Bedroom design by The Decorologist.
BDMS: What type of flooring would you recommend that would be easily adaptable with changing trends.
The Decorologist: In my opinion, the most timeless flooring is medium dark hardwoods, with very little orange or red undertones. I really like dark walnut - it works with everything and always looks on-trend. For carpeting, I like to use one that straddles the line between light beige and gray. I always take wall color samples with me when shopping for flooring - it's important to see if the wall color and flooring will work well together.

Competitive mushing is mostly on hiatus in Southwest Colorado, but local residents involved in the enigmatic sport say they are eager to bring it back.
The strongest contender for revival is the Mancos Mush, which put the tiny Montezuma County town on the world's sled dog racing map in 2005.
Organizers Gregg and Gretchen Dubit still have hope it could regain its former glory.
La Plata Paw Sled Dog Races, held in February in 2010 and 2011, also had shown promise but was canceled this year because a thin snow cover created unsafe trail conditions.
Reviving the Mancos Mush would require strong leadership and sponsors to guarantee a purse that would attract top mushers, the Dubits, who own and operate the Durango Dog Ranch in La Plata Canyon, said Wednesday.
The Dubits, who have a licensed kennel where they've raised Alaskan and Siberian huskies for 18 years, offer sled-dog outings from eight trailheads in San Juan National Forest.
"The snow got here just in time to save the season," said Gregg Dubit. "This was one of the driest falls I've seen."
Snow still is a concern, he said. A January mush in Silverton, which the Dubits support but aren't organizing, has been postponed until February or March, he said.
"The snowpack isn't all that great, and logistics aren't simple," Gregg Dubit said.
Way back when, Dubit started with one dog, which he taught to pull him on a ski or a roller blade. He was hooked.
"I'd read too much Jack London as a kid," he said - a reference to the adventurer who lived from 1876 to 1916 and wrote tales of the Klondike gold rush.
"And how," Gretchen Dubit said. "It took over our lives. I've supported all his cockamamy projects."
Sled-dog racing wasn't unknown in Southwest Colorado when he and his wife organized the Mancos Mush, Gregg Dubit said. The list of predecessors includes the two-day Moki Mush held in Boggy Draw near Dolores and a sprint competition in Pagosa Springs, both events in the early 1990s.
Sled-dog racing features sprints of four to 20 miles, mid-distance races of 20 to 70 miles and long-distance races such as the Iditarod in Alaska, which takes mushers from Anchorage to Nome, a distance of about 1,100 miles.
Ryne Olson, a 2007 graduate of Durango High School, took on the Iditarod for the first time this year, finishing 31st among 66 mushers and fourth among rookies.
The Mancos Mush, which evolved from the Moki Mush, was envisioned as a lead-in to what would be the San Juan Stage Races that would take mushers to Vallecito, Silverton, Ouray, Ridgway and Montrose.
Financial support was strong the first two years when Directory Plus put up a $10,000 purse each year, Gretchen Dubit said. The race drew mushers from Canada as well as from mushing hotbeds in the United States and local competitors.
In 2007, the race became the Mancos Mush/Silverton Slush as a San Juan County stage was added. Competitive mushes were held until 2009, when a four-stage race - Mancos, Echo Basin, Purgatory and Molas - was held.
"But it fell apart when purse money dwindled," Gretchen Dubit said. The purse had dropped to $2,400 in 2009.
"The organizing was wrestled away from me, as well, by people who thought they could carry it off," she said.
In comparison, the International Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race, billed as the biggest in the Lower 48, starts in Wyoming and in 2013 is scheduled to enter four states. There is prize money for the top 20 finishers - $10,000 for the winner - as well as day money.
Inveterate mushers will compete for the glory, Gretchen Dubit said. But organization skills are required to sustain interest over time, she said.
New blood could come in the form of Rick and Kate St. Onge, who own the Galloping Husky Ranch near Mancos. The couple, who moved early this year from Cache Valley in northern Utah, where they bred Alaskan huskies, have 165 acres near Jackson Lake. They have 35 dogs.
Rick St. Onge is a retired orthopedic surgeon from Boston who had a 20-year career with professional sports teams, including the Celtics, Patriots and Red Sox. He retired in 1996, and the couple moved to Utah.
Kate St. Onge guided the couple's No. 1 team to first place in the recent West Yellowstone Rodeo Run, which opens sled-dog racing competition annually in the Lower 48. It was the couple's fourth first-place finish. Rick St. Onge guided their No. 2 team to fourth place at West Yellowstone.
"I like to train and build teams," he said. "But she's the top musher. I've beaten her only once."
The top quality in a sled dog is the willingness to pull and run long distances, St. Onge said.
"It takes a huge heart - physically and psychologically - and they pull because they want to pull," he said. "You can't make them run because that's like pushing a rope."
"Southwest Colorado is a dream place for stage races," he said. "The area is attractive, it has good trails, the elevation is challenging and communities - Mancos, Cortez, Durango, Silverton, Telluride - are close enough to avoid long drives such as you do in Wyoming.
"Mushing is a traditional sport in many places such as New England," St. Onge said. "It could become so here with community backing and dedicated sportsmen."

WASHINGTON – United States Helsinki Commission members today expressed gratitude for the release of imprisoned Baptist Shagildy Atakov, but remained cautious about Turkmenistan's progress toward meeting its human rights commitments to the Helsinki Final Act.
Baptist pastor Shagildy Atakov was reportedly freed on January 8, 2002, after three years in prison under fabricated charges of "fraud." Last year, three members of the Helsinki Commission twice met with Turkmenistan's ambassador and called for Atakov's release. In their December meeting with Ambassador Meret Orazov, the three Commissioners reiterated their call for Atakov's unconditional release. Commissioners meeting with Ambassador Orazov were Co-Chairman Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-NJ), Rep. Joseph R. Pitts (R-PA) and Rep. Robert B. Aderholt (R-AL).
"With the Commission having first raised this issue since early in 2000, I am very pleased the Government of Turkmenistan made this decision," said Co-Chairman Smith. "However, this doesn't signify the end of Turkmenistan's work to promote human rights and religious freedom, but merely the beginning." Mr. Smith added, "The fact that Atakov was imprisoned for three years demonstrates Turkmenistan's profound contempt for its human rights commitments as a participating State in the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE)."
Mr. Pitts stated, "While I certainly believe Atakov's release is a good thing, he is clearly someone who should not have been imprisoned in the first place." He continued, "Until the Turkmen Government decides to honor all of its OSCE commitments and makes upholding human rights for all individuals a priority, I'm afraid other innocent people will continue to suffer."
Added Mr. Aderholt, "In our meeting with the ambassador, we also raised other cases of people unjustly imprisoned, and yet they continue to languish in jail. Despite Atakov's apparent release, the situation for human rights and religious freedom remains poor."
In addition, numerous Jehovah's Witnesses have been jailed for conscientious objection or for refusing to pledge allegiance to President Niyazov. Also, Mukhamed Aimuradov, sentenced to 15 years in a maximum security labor camp in 1995, remains imprisoned. He was originally charged with plotting to overthrow the government and kill President Niyazov. In 1998, the government initiated new charges against him for allegedly attempting to escape, and he was sentenced to an additional 18-year term.
Imprisoned since 1999, Atakov was arrested on December 18, 1998 at his home in Turkmenbashi on trumped-up charges of "fraud." On March 19, 1999, Atakov was fined $12,000 – the average monthly wage in Turkmenistan is about $30 – and sentenced to two years in prison. During his time in prison, Atakov was subjected to brutal beatings and torture by prison officials, placed in "punishment" cells, and sent to labor camps, according to credible sources. In addition, both he and his family have been pressured to renounce their religious faith.
Notably, Atakov's situation is not completely resolved. According to reports, he has yet to receive his release certificate and all his identity papers, making the full terms of his release unknown. It is therefore unclear whether he received full clemency, a conditional release or merely parole. Turkmen authorities offered to release Atakov in May 2001, but only if he emigrated with his family to another country. He refused and remained jailed.
"With the full details still unclear, I want to reiterate our call for his unconditional release," declared Rep. Smith. "As I told Ambassador Orazov in our December meeting, human rights are the only barrier between the United States and Turkmenistan for Permanent Normal Trade Relations."
Overall, under President-for-life Saparmurat Niyazov, serious human rights violations persist in Turkmenistan, a country that joined the OSCE in 1992. Government security forces have recently raided several Protestant churches, due to their lack of registration. Yet registration requirements are too burdensome for small faith communities to fulfill, placing them in a "catch-22." Consequently, only Sunni Islam and the Russian Orthodox Church are allowed to legally operate, albeit under heavy state control.
In the past two months, security forces have raided several Protestant churches meeting in private apartments, interrogating and fining individuals present. Most recently, in December 2001, the government made good on its threat, evicting an individual from her flat for hosting a Seventh-Day Adventist meeting. The government has threatened others with similar treatment.
In March 2000, the Helsinki Commission held a hearing entitled "The State of Democracy and Human Rights in Turkmenistan." This and other related information can be found at the Commission's website.
The United States Helsinki Commission, an independent federal agency, by law monitors and encourages progress in implementing provisions of the Helsinki Accords. The Commission, created in 1976, is composed of nine Senators, nine Representatives and one official each from the Departments of State, Defense and Commerce.

France is poised to become the latest nation to legalize same-sex marriage after its Parliament passed a bill that also legalizes adoptions by same-sex couples.
President Francois Hollande is expected to sign the bill quickly.
Authorities are bracing for the reaction from opponents. Correspondent Eleanor Beardsley tells our Newscast Desk that "supporters are planning a celebratory rally and opponents will stage protests across the country. Opposition in France to gay marriage has radicalized over the past month as far-right extremists have joined the protests."
The BBC says that "police reinforcements have been brought in and security stepped up. Although previous rallies have been overwhelmingly peaceful, some clashes on the fringes have been blamed on far-right elements."
Eleanor adds, "The debate over same-sex marriage and adoption has divided France over the last year, pitting those who adhere to the values of secularism and equality against those holding more traditional, catholic values."
According to The Pew Forum, these countries had previously legalized same-sex marriage:
-- New Zealand (in 2013)
-- Uruguay (2013)
-- Denmark (2012)
-- Argentina (2010)
-- Portugal (2010)
-- Iceland (2010)
-- Sweden (2009)
-- Norway (2009)
-- South Africa (2006)
-- Spain (2005)
-- Canada (2005)
-- Belgium (2003)
-- The Netherlands (2000)
In three other nations, same-sex marriage is legal in some jurisdictions. They are Brazil, Mexico and the U.S.

Stealth Monitoring designs, installs, services, and live monitors security solutions nationwide. Most of our clients have outdoor assets, repetitive problems, expensive guards, and/or a need for greater security to reduce theft and vandalism. What about your company in Miami, Florida?
Typical security systems are reactive. They're designed for interior spaces. So, they wait for a trigger to sound an alarm and alert the police AFTER criminals have already been on your property and broken in to buildings. This often results in false calls, delayed police response time, and a greater opportunity for criminals to get away.
Stealth Monitoring takes a proactive approach with live surveillance. Our highly trained staff monitors the outside and inside of your property to help prevent crimes before they happen. We watch perimeters, entrances, alleys, rooftops, parking lots, storefronts, secure rooms, lobbies, and hallways.
Stealth doesn't wait for alarms. We watch for and evaluate suspicious activity in real time. Our trained operators activate speakers at unwanted trespassers and they typically go running off your property since they had no idea someone was watching them! We call police with live reports on criminals often BEFORE they break in or do damage.
Call us toll-free at (866) 382-3873 or write today to learn how we can help your business reduce crime, theft, and expenses.

CHANGCHUN - China's Ministry of Health has allowed cultivated ginseng to be used in food products across the nation, a move seen as a good opportunity for the development of the country's ginseng industry.
"Many ginseng growers are expected to benefit from the new policy that will help China's ginseng industry to develop further and enhance its international competitiveness," said Zhang Lianxue, a ginseng expert at Jilin Agricultural University, on the International Conference on Ginseng held Wednesday in Changchun, capital of northeast China's Jilin province.
Dubbed the "king of herbs," ginseng is considered to be nutritious and to have great medical value in traditional Chinese medicine. It has been used as a tonic in TCM for over 3,000 years.
Ginseng is mainly grown in eastern Asia. Considered the world's largest ginseng production base, ginseng production on Changbai Mountain in Jilin accounts for 85 percent of China's production and 70 percent of the world's total output.
Historical records show that China has a 1,660-year history of cultivating ginseng. More than 98 percent of ginseng in Jilin is currently cultivated, not grown in the wild.
Though China's health authority had previously restricted the use of the plant to medicines only, people used to use ginseng as an ingredient in chicken, porridge and soup recipes or soaked it in liquor.
In 2009, the 32nd conference of the Codex Alimentarius Commission approved the international standard of ginseng-derived food products and allowed planted ginseng to be put into food.
The Ministry of Health chose Jilin as a pilot location for adding cultivated ginseng to food products in March 2011.
It has been proven that ginseng is less toxic than garlic, said Zhang Hui, an official with the ginseng and antler office of the Jilin provincial government, on the conference.
Wang Zhihong, president of the Changchun University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said the policy recognizing ginseng as a food would likely increase ginseng cultivation as well as research and development on ginseng products.
More and more enterprises have sensed business opportunities and started to invest in the ginseng industry in Jilin since the province was made the pilot location for adding ginseng to food products.'
Food products including cookies, jam, coffee and candies made with ginseng can currently be found in markets in Jilin.

Or are you interested in surgery, but don't like the idea of some stranger you've barely met seeing you naked and operating on you?
Well, Amazon has the answer for you!
Yes, for only $258.95 you can order your own laparoscopic bypass surgical kit! I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP!
Now (unless you don't have $258.95 + shipping) there's no reason for you not to have surgery. You can order this kit today, which (according to Amazon) features everything needed for the surgery. (NOTE- The kit for sale is new. Used kits are not listed, but I suspect they're cheaper).
Finally, you have the opportunity to improve your weight in the privacy of your own home, and don't have to worry about some surgeon (who you've just met, and who may not really be qualified) taking you to the OR. This time the surgery can be done by the person who knows your body best- YOU! Or, if you prefer, you can invite a few friends over. I'm sure they can help you figure out where to cut and what to do with the leftover pieces.
So what are you waiting for? Make this YOUR year! Order the kit, get a few bottles of strong whiskey for anesthesia (hell, it worked for frontier dentists), and invite friends over for a bypass party!

Besides, why use this...
...when it's essentially just a red "S" on a yellow triangle anyway?
It's interesting to see the lengths bakeries will go to to avoid using a licensed Batman kit, too:
This one could fool just about any lawyer: a playing card and a friendly Halloween bat? Nope, no Batman stuff here!
Plus, this could be just your average creepy clown cake:
Here's my favorite, though:
"Now, Pat, we've got to make sure that 'Bat' and 'Man' are two separate words, okay? And obviously no bats."
"Nooo problem, boss. How do you feel about seagulls?"

I bought my SunRay Waverly in March 2023 and had problems with rain/moisture infiltrating the side and causing warping, shrinkage, expanding, or even splitting. My customer service rep at Avide Home contacted SunRay about the issue but no reponse. Does not seem to be made for outdoors. Buyer Beware.
Easy to install and cooling and heating works really well.
The stove arrived as described, and was delivered via a lift gate box truck.
It's been 2 weeks since the install. The unit performs well in our manufactured home.
We haven't received it yet.
I was very happy with my purchase and the customer service I received.
The design just compliments my home in every way. The design and material is great. I do not regret choosing Auroom. I've just use this recently and I think I am getting addicted to it. I can't go to sleep in the evehing without a session before. This is just amazing.
After a thorough reasearch we finally decided for a harvia sauna heater since we prefer a higher intensity of heat. We use it atleast 3 times a week and started to notice some postive effects.
Came in good condition and delivery was fast, overall satisfied with my purchase and love my new sauna heater
Amazing barrel sauna. We use it every day. It was easy to assemble for 2 people. Great help from Avide and Sigrid when we selected it.
It saves me a lot of money because heat last long and we have a lot of woods around us. Its also looks great!
The order process was quick and easy, the sauna arrived on-time, installation was simple, following the provided instructions, and the sauna is extremely high quality. Quite frankly I don't know how we lived without it especially the Android & iOS app that supports the heater to turn on/off while I am not near the sauna ie: on a treadmill and then went into sauna when it is heated up. Many thanks to Alex & Slava! highly recommended BSauna (based in Barrie Ontario)
Looks like on the pictures, very well designed and looks much better than all the generic looking sauna heaters on the market. We love to show this thing off to friends.

Baked Buffalo Chicken Dip – Don't Bet the Ranch this Super Bowl
82 comments:
- Chargeorge said...
I'm a CA native, who ended up in upsate NY for school. I never understood the damn ranch thing when I lived there! I generally went with my wings straight till I moved and discovered the joy of blue cheese dressing.
- January 17, 2012 at 5:12 PM
- Vincent said...
Is there any substitute possible for the blue cheese? It sure looks tasty except for it being loaded with blue cheese, and if there's one thing I hate it's blue cheese.
By the way, your Old Bay Seasoning link doesn't work. - January 17, 2012 at 5:52 PM
Those vegans and their love of buffalo chicken dip... :P
- January 17, 2012 at 5:53 PM
lol @ chef john, vegans cant eat crackers but they can eat chicken dips? vegans can't eat chicken or crackers! lol. also i don't like chicken or hot sauce, what else can i used?
Mary F - January 17, 2012 at 6:05 PM
LOL Mary F, chef John was joking...
Also if you dont like chicken and hot sauce, you might as well go bake a cake lol.
Peace. - January 17, 2012 at 7:01 PM
Seriously people! It's a chicken and blue cheese dip! If you don't like blue cheese and chidden and hot sauce, then try another recipe (like the Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip), but don't ask for substitute... Com'on!
And by the way, I don't know what's funnier, Chef John's joke (which really cracked me up) or the massive amount of people on YoutUbe feeling the need to say that vegans can't eat chicken and blue cheese dip anyway! No you think?! - January 17, 2012 at 7:13 PM
Thank you for solving the issue of blue cheese vs ranch. I'm about to make the dip - now using your version for sure - but couldn't decide which way to go. P.S. I couldn't get the link to work, either, but found what sounds like a decent recipe on Food.com
~Carol - January 17, 2012 at 7:21 PM
Just a note: vegitariens DO NOT eat meat! No offense, but I just wanted you to know.

"i don't like chicken or hot sauce, what else can i used?"
Another recipe, Mary. That's what you can use. - January 17, 2012 at 9:04 PM
cant use blue cheese, cant use chicken, cant use hot sauce.....uh, maybe you guys should just skip this dip. jeez.
buffalo chicken IS blue cheese, IS hot sauce and duh, IS chicken. - January 17, 2012 at 9:32 PM
Everything is better with Franks and/or Crystal! Glad too see you made a low fat dip; lord have mercy! I have everything I need, so I'll give it a go tomorrow.
God Bless. - January 17, 2012 at 9:33 PM
Chef John-I'm gonna make a compilation of 365 of your recipes where we should use full fat ingredients because we only eat them once a year.
Strong work, by the way. - January 17, 2012 at 10:24 PM
- Chef John said...
Sorry to pile on, Mary, but I have to agree with the mob... this may not be the recipe for you! ;)
- January 17, 2012 at 11:55 PM
Chef John, I may be wrong but Freak Nasty was the one that said if you ain't dippin then you must be trippin. Did the 69 boys use that line as well?

Do vegans go to Super Bowl parties? Chef John you are a saint.
- January 18, 2012 at 12:35 AM
Oh ... I thought we were gonna dip chicken wings in the Baked Buffalo Blue Cheese Chicken Dip ... Doy!
- January 18, 2012 at 1:45 AM
Someone has the world hoodwinked with those 69 Boyz lyrics! That's a Freak Nasty song. If you Google "Da Dip" with 2 Live Crew, it comes up for them, too. Some people get their raunchy rap groups mixed up and then misinform others. But it's definitely a Freak Nasty original.

I saw this online before...It never baked right for me. But great recipe.
- January 18, 2012 at 2:44 AM
Say, Chef John, will this be more of a spread when it thickens, like your famous Clams Casino Spread?
Thx for the recipe, I will definitely give it a try! - January 18, 2012 at 3:15 AM

I don't know if you can get it on the left-coast, but Texas Pete's wing sauce is the best on the market!
Texas Pete has flavor in addition to fire. Frank's is just fire and vinegar. The only reason that Franks is in the Anchor Bar's original wing sauce recipe is they weren't able to get Texas Pete. The South wasn't exporting that to New York then. It's the world's loss.
Make this recipe but substitute Texas Pete Wing Sauce. This is the only way it could be any better.

I love you Chef but looks like you were trying to connect with your inner Paula Dean with this recipe :) . It looks delicious but I think I'll stick with hummus.
Say, when do we get a good hummus recipe from you? - January 18, 2012 at 11:20 AM

Yes, exactly like a cheese spread when cool.

One of our New Year's food resolutions was to learn how to debone a chicken. We prepped 4 chickens a couple of weeks ago, roasted them, portioned them, and froze them. Yesterday was a snow day (we don't get many of those around here), so we thawed one of our boneless roasted chickens and made this dip! The flavor was right on. The texture made it a perfect dip: creamy and luxurious, but held its own when eaten with crunchy celery. There are a lot of recipes for buffalo chicken dip out there, but Chef John's will make you look like a pro!
- January 19, 2012 at 1:22 PM
I'm one of those blue cheese haters. I'm sorry. I know. I'm a horrible person. I should be tarred and feathered, but!!! I LOVE buffalo chicken. I mean the kind of love that if I had to choose between my mother-in-law and buffalo-chicken-anything she would lose. No question. But I prefer my buffalo-chicken-anything straight up. Still, I WANT this dip to work for me. A local pub makes a buffalo burger and "they" say that the blue cheese takes on a different flavor, that it doesn't taste like the mold you pour on your salad. Can the same be said for this dip? (Fingers crossed.)

made it. had blue cheese for the 1st time in this recipe. It was outta dis world good! I will forever make it with blue cheese instead of the old way with the ranch. :) Thank u CHef John. I haven't made a single thing by you that has not turned out delicious. for real.
- January 22, 2012 at 8:23 PM
I finally decided to make this but I actually didn't like how it turned out. My mother liked it, however. Happy for her at least, but I feel so bummed out since I was really excited about this. I think what killed it was the TYPE of blue cheese dressing I used because I know I have had B.C Dressing with pizza before and I liked the flavor of it; but it was at a restaurant however.
I was curious as to what brand you may have used? Or which you would recommend? The one that I used was a chunky blue cheese dressing by Wishbone, since crumbled blue cheese was unavailable. I was originally going to go with Krafts Blue Cheese but now I'm just at a loss. - January 24, 2012 at 5:26 PM
Chef John,
My husband dislikes Blue Cheese, if I were to substitute Cheddar in place of it, would I use 1 cup of cheese in place of the 1/2 cup of dressing and cheese as mentioned? - January 28, 2012 at 12:47 AM
This was delicious and was devoured long before some of the other appetizers were even sampled. I used Ken's chunky blue cheese dressing, full fat, of course, and it was perfect. I also used a solid hunk of blue cheese and crumbled it into the chicken/cream cheese mixture. Thanks Chef John.
- January 30, 2012 at 9:22 PM
Made homemade Bleu Cheese dressing for this...
Was great, but during tasting and seasoning to personal taste I ended up using half again as much Frank's!
Also added double the Cayenne, and a bit of Onion Powder.
Turned out fantastic! Never be afraid to tweak a recipe! - February 4, 2012 at 3:44 PM

I discovered your blog just 2 weeks ago, and by now my husband is sick of hearing, "Chef John this!", and, "Chef John that!" But one thing he isn't sick of is your recipes. So far, I've made Chicken Enchiladas Verde, Mexican Rice, Baked Buffalo Chicken Dip, and Spicy Peanut Butter & Pepper Jelly Chicken Wings (I used drumsticks, baked the same as the wings in the recipe - outstanding!) Thank you for these great recipes. I have ordered the 'American' cookbook, and am awaiting word of the Foodwishes cookbook. Your recipes are easy but flavorful, and your videos are so dang entertaining!

Made this for the superbowl, turned out great. I did use blue cheese dressing, but subbed out sharp cheddar cheese for blue cheese crumbles just because I was worried about having the blue cheese taste too overwhelming. Everyone loved the dip, and it tasted great with celery and carrots. My special contribution was a bit of paprika because I didn't have any old bay, and they are both red so that works right? - February 6, 2012 at 10:47 AM

Chef John, new to your blog. Enjoying some of the recipes and like your style in video production.
One suggestion, how's about having a print recipe format for us to print?
Just a thought. - February 13, 2012 at 8:05 AM

Great idea! But, who cam we get to type them? I can't, since I'm already so busy making videos.
- February 13, 2012 at 11:48 AM
Made this just as written and it was a huge hit at the Super Bowl Party. I'm making it again for supper tonight as requested by my low carb hubby (minus those pesky vegan crackers of course ;O). Thanks SOO much for this great recipe!

I have had it twice. The first time a friend made it and it blew my mind so I got the recipe and tried to make it myself. When I made it all I tasted was blue cheese. I followed the instructions and everything. I want to make it again but all I can think of doing is adding less blue cheese. Is this my best option?

I have had this dip twice. The first time a friend made it and it was awesome. I got the recipe, made it myself and all I tasted was blue cheese. I followed the directions exactly and want to know how to correct this. I'm making it again this weekend. Any suggestions?
- April 11, 2012 at 3:51 PM
- Chef John said...
If u used the same amounts, then your blue cheese was obviously much stronger than his. It's either the amount or type.
- April 11, 2012 at 5:42 PM
I've made this numerous times since the 2012 Superbowl. It is one of the most simple & delicious recipes that gets rave reviews from family friends. There is NEVER a drop left! I actually just made it again to bring to a party. And, I too do not comprehend the ranch thing. Bleu cheese all the way baby!! Thank you Chef John! xo

OMG This looks like a total tongue-gasm recipe to me. MUST_TRY_SOON! Being that I can eat blue cheese like a mad woman, I am pretty sure that I will find this to be a winner ;) And, the beautiful thing is, I have a HUGE bottle of the Frank's sauce from Costco (HUGE!)just looking for a reason to come out and play ;)
Yum yum TY! - July 27, 2012 at 10:30 AM
I made this with cheddar jack cheese and ranch dip-i'm somehow allergic to bleu cheese and love it. In fact, I'm making for a BBQ tomorrow

Can I make the dip tonight (skipping the oven step and refrigerating it) then pop it in the oven tomorrow when guests start arriving? Would an overnight marination ruin anything?
- August 27, 2012 at 12:45 PM
- Chef John said...
Should be fine.
- August 27, 2012 at 12:52 PM
I had extra blue cheese after making this for a party (where it was a huge hit!), so I made it a second time. Of course, the time for when it's just us enjoying it comes out perfectly browned.
For everyone having troubles, set the broiler to low. 2-3 minutes should do it. - August 29, 2012 at 10:25 PM
I substitute blue cheese with a package of Boursin cheese. works well.

Hi Chef John,
I'd love to make this dip but here in Venezuela we have farmer cheese - the crumbly stuff, queso blanco, mozzarella, and that's about it. Basically just fresh cheeses. Is there any kind of substitute for the aged cheeses? Some way to get that sour aged taste through lime juice/vinegar etc? BTW, I'm cooking your no-knead pizza in a pan on the stove - currently I'm without oven - and it turns out awesome. I'm also making your pizza sauce and sausage from scratch. Prices are strange in Venezuela, good tomatoes cost a nickle each, gasoline is $0.17 a gallon, but a small can of skinless tomatoes is $4.00. Go figure,
Thanks! And great work. I've been in South America for 6 months and am thinking about starting my own cooking show - on what you can do with a good knife, skillet, pressure cooker and a two-burner gas stove connected to a 100 lb cylinder sitting next to me. Besides blowing yourself up, possibilities are endless. - October 23, 2012 at 9:55 PM
- Chef John said...
Sorry, don't know any aged cheese tricks! There is really no cheddar in the whole country? Are there no cheese shops in the cities? I guess I take it for granted here! Good luck!
- October 24, 2012 at 3:22 AM
I am writing from Brazil! Why don`t you post a blue cheese dressing recipe? We don`t have here already made one!

Hi Chef John,
You asked me if there are any hard cheeses in Venezuela - yes there are, but difficult to find and cost 3 times more than in US - so not really economical - and by the way, thanks for such a rapid response. Here it is difficult and expensive to get pepperoni so I am making my own. If you can, I would love to see a recipe for bread sticks so I can make pepperoni bread sticks aka boscoe sticks back home - i think the people would love them. Going to start a restaurant here called Chef John's. :) JK I saw you have 1/4 million subscribers - awesome - but 37 negatives, probably from Mr. Bean. He's crazy and weird. :) - October 31, 2012 at 1:51 PM
Look i live in germany and i can't find any proper hot sauce, any my sister wouldn't eat that, any way i can use a spicy BBQ sauce?

Made this yesterday for a get together. We had kids and adults but most impressive is the people that don't like blue cheese who went back for multiple "seconds". I let them know it had a lot of blue cheese but maybe the buffalo flavor dumbed down the strong blue cheese taste enough that they didn't notice. I also worried about the spice level for the kids and they didn't seem to mind either. Another good one Chef John!
- March 18, 2013 at 12:00 AM
I made this yesterday for our Fourth of July celebration.
I made it the night before (I just didn't bake it) and not wanting to use my guests as guinea pigs, I baked a little ramekin of it to test (that's my story and I'm sticking to it).
This recipe is so incredibly awesome! I roughly followed Chef John's recipe for blue cheese dressing (i.e., I used mayo, sour cream, a splash of lemon, and a bit extra blue cheese as opposed to store-bought dressing) and used a whole 5oz bottle of Frank's (which is just shy of the amount called for) but otherwise stuck to the recipe.
Totally delicious! I think I prefer it over actual wings (which I guess shouldn't be surprising). The whole recipe was perhaps a bit too much for the six people I was entertaining -- I'd probably halve the recipe next time for a party that small -- but this is definitely a great appetizer for a party.
Thanks Chef John for another great one! - July 5, 2013 at 11:07 PM
I've made this dip numerous times since I found it last year on Allrecipes. I just LOVE it. It is my favorite and my recipe I bring to gatherings and serve up every weekend for football Sunday... thank you for such a great, easy, delicous recipe!

Chef John,
I am an effete, food-snob, vegan democrat. Could I substitute marshmallows for the chicken, distilled water for the French's hot sauce and, shredded iceberg lettuce for the cheese? Also, my new health insurance plan prohibits ingestion of Old Bay Seasoning upon penalty of cancellation. (Apparently, the word "Old" is now as verboten as the words "freedom and responsibility") Any substitute for this evil spice mixture? Thanks - January 18, 2014 at 1:05 AM

So it's kinda disappointing that I can't order buffalo chicken dip when I go out anymore...because this recipe is just so amazing!!! I've made this recipe multiple times, brought it to a superbowl party and my friends devoured it so fast and were calling me 'mom' after haha. Don't skimp on the old bay and cayenne, they are what make this dish so different from the rest. Oh and BLUE CHEESE ALWAYS for the win!

That was enough to lead all films on a late August weekend known as a dumping ground for studios following their summer blockbusters and before the start of the fall movie-going season. Daniels' historical drama about a long-serving White House butler, starring Forest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey, last weekend opened with $24.6 million for the Weinstein Co.
Three new releases failed to catch on. The teen fantasy "Mortal Instruments: City of Bones," adapted from the popular young adult book series, opened tepidly in third with $9.3 million on the weekend and $14 million since opening Wednesday. With franchise hopes, Sony Screen Gems has already started production on a sequel, again starring Lily Collins as a New York teenager who discovers she has mystical powers.
Edgar Wright's pub-crawl-gone-wrong comedy "The World's End" opened with $8.9 million for Focus Features. That was a better start for "The World's End," which stars Simon Pegg, than Wright's last film, 2007's "Hot Fuzz." It opened with $5.8 million. Playing in 1,549 theaters, "The World's End" did its business in less than half the theaters of "The Butler" or "Mortal Instruments."
Despite good reviews, Lionsgate's home-invasion horror flick "You're Next" opened weakly with $7.1 million.
With a cumulative total of $52.3 million, "The Butler" is headed for a domestic haul of $100 million. It has followed the release pattern of another movie about race and domestic service: the 2011 drama "The Help," also released in August. The Weinstein Co. hopes that "The Butler" will similarly lead to Oscar nominations.
Paul Dergarabedian, analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com, attributed the success of "The Butler" particularly to the marketing power of Winfrey and a savvy choice of a release date with little competition.
"This is a film that you wouldn't want to open in June or July," said Dergarabedian. "The release date that the Weinstein Co. picked absolutely paid off for them."
In its third week of release, Warner Bros.' R-rated road trip comedy "We're the Millers," starring Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston, continued to thrive. It took in $13.5 million over the weekend, bringing its overall total to $91.7 million.
Woody Allen's "Blue Jasmine" became his widest release ever. Sony Pictures Classics expanded Allen's drama of a ruined socialite starring Cate Blanchett to 1,283 theaters. It made $4.3 million over the weekend after earning more than $10 million in four weeks of limited release.
The 3-D release of Universal's "Jurassic Park," which opened in North America in April, led the overseas market with $30 million over the weekend, most of that from its opening in China.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released on Monday.
1. "Lee Daniels' The Butler," $17 million.
2. "We're the Millers," $13.5 million ($8.3 million international).
3. "Mortal Instruments: City of Bones," $9.3 million.
4. "The World's End" $8.9 million.
5. "Planes," $8.6 million ($5.9 million international).
6. "Elysium," $7.1 million ($20 million international).
7. "You're Next," $7.1 million.
8. "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters," $5.2 million ($18.4 million international).
9. "Blue Jasmine," $4.3 million.
10. "Kick-Ass 2," $4.3 million ($7.3 million international).
Estimated weekend ticket sales at international theaters (excluding the U.S. and Canada) for films distributed overseas by Hollywood studios, according to Rentrak:
1. "Jurassic Park," $30 million.
2. "Elysium," $20 million.
3. "Monsters University," $19.6 million.
4. "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters," $18.4 million.
5. "The Conjuring," $17.7 million.
6. "Now You See Me," $12.5 million.
7. "Smurfs 2," $11.9 million.
8. "Despicable Me 2," $10.9 million.
9. "We're the Millers," $8.3 million.
10. "Hide and Seek," $8.1 million.

Saponins are natural surfactants, or detergents, found in many plants, but they are most abundant in the desert plants Yucca and Quillaja. Extracts from these plants are commonly used as foaming agents for beverages such as root beer. These biochemicals also have commercial applications such as ore separation in industrial and mining operations, and are useful in products such as photographic emulsions, cosmetics, and shampoos.

This dash-mounted Nexus 7 (and its brilliant Knight Rider-themed custom launcher) looks great, was a DIY labor of love, and definitely is a great way to take Google Music, navigation, maps, and all your favorite apps with you on the go on a nice large screen.
Ross Mclardy, over at Land of Technology walks through his project step-by-step at the link below, and you can see the results in the video above. Obviously it's not a project for everyone, but the end result is hard to argue with, and the whole project, Nexus 7 included (Ross used a broken Nexus 7 he picked up from eBay) actually cost him less than an aftermarket full-dash system. He had to take the N7 apart and connect it to his head unit so the audio worked, and then connect it to power so it would stay charged.
The other awesome part of this build is the Knight Rider launcher Ross built. The whole thing was done with Nova Launcher Prime, Ultimate Custom Widget, and Tasker. The buttons correspond to apps and features he uses frequently, including Google Music, Maps, Waze, Navigation, and more. Ross actually has an entire post just on how to build the UI, if you want to try it on your own Android phone or tablet.
We should note though, a shiny in-dash unit like this doesn't excuse using it while you drive—be safe and keep your eyes on the road. Let your passenger pull up maps or directions, or pull over and use it yourself. Also, we can't totally suggest buying a Nexus 7, broken or not, just to mount it in your dash, and the parts required vary across vehicle models. Your mileage may vary: What was an easy fit for Ross may be more difficult for your car if you want to give this a try, so plan before you jump in. Still, the N7 fit a standard double-din slot, so it should technically work with any vehicle. At the very least, you can recreate the launcher on your own and feel like you're riding with KITT the next time you commute to work.

Gun control bill clears its first hurdle in Senate
Congress' most serious gun-control effort in years cleared its first hurdle Thursday as the Senate pushed past conservatives' attempted blockade under the teary gaze of families of victims of December's Connecticut school shootings.
The bipartisan 68-31 vote rebuffed an effort to keep debate from even starting, giving an early victory - and perhaps political momentum - to President Barack Obama and his gun control allies.
Four months after 20 first-graders and six staffers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown were killed, relatives watching the vote from a gallery overlooking the Senate floor dabbed at tears and clasped hands, some seeming to pray.
Even so, few supporters of the legislation are confident of victory. Several weeks of emotional, unpredictable Senate debate lie ahead, and a mix of gun-rights amendments, opposition from the National Rifle Association and skepticism from House Republican leaders leave big questions about what will emerge from Congress. Foes of the proposed new restrictions say they would penalize law-abiding citizens and do nothing to curb gun violence.
"The hard work starts now," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who brought the legislation to the floor for debate.
Still, in a Congress marked by a notable lack of cooperation between Democrats and Republicans, Thursday's vote was one of several displays of unusual rapport across party lines. In other examples not connected to the issue of guns:
Negotiators for the two parties said they had reached agreement on the major elements of a Senate immigration bill they're expected to unveil next week.
The top Republican in government, House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, publicly disagreed with his party campaign chairman's criticism of Obama's budget proposal to trim future Social Security and Medicare benefits. Wednesday night, GOP senators left a White House dinner praising Obama for reaching out to them on his budget.
Senators of both parties had a rare joint luncheon to honor Arizona Sen. John McCain, the GOP's 2008 presidential nominee, on the 40th anniversary of his release from a North Vietnamese prison.
Hoping to bring pressure on Congress to act on gun control, supporters of new restrictions have been demonstrating in Washington. They have erected a mock graveyard with thousands of crosses on the National Mall, symbolizing victims of gun violence.
The Senate's firearms bill would subject nearly all gun buyers to background checks, add muscle to federal laws barring illicit firearm sales and provide slightly more money for school safety measures.
Excluded and facing near-certain defeat in upcoming votes were proposals to ban military-style weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines - factors in the Newtown killings some other recent mass shootings. But keeping those provisions out of the current legislation did not mollify critics.
Opponents said the remaining proposals were unwarranted intrusions on the Second Amendment right to bear arms, would be ignored by criminals and would do little to prevent future Newtowns. Obama's plans have received scant support from Republicans and many moderate Democrats, with many saying they prefer improvements in dealing with the mentally ill and stronger enforcement of existing laws.
"I'm not interested in a symbolic gesture which would offer the families of the Sandy Hook shootings no real solutions that they seek," said Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the Senate's No. 2 Republican.
Congress hasn't approved major gun restrictions since enacting an assault weapons ban 19 years ago, a prohibition that lawmakers let lapse after a decade.
Some potential amendments could broaden gun rights and weaken supporters' backing for the overall bill.
One proposal is by Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Mark Begich, D-Alaska, who say it would improve how the federal background check system blocks weapons from going to people with certain mental problems, though critics say it would make it harder in some cases to do so. Another possible amendment would require states to recognize permits for carrying concealed weapons issued by other states.
In Thursday's vote, 50 Democrats and 2 Democratic-leaning independents were joined by 16 Republicans in voting to begin debate on the legislation. Twenty-nine Republicans and two Democrats facing re-election next year in GOP-leaning states voted "no" - Alaska's Begich and Mark Pryor of Arkansas.
After the roll call, Obama spoke by phone with some Newtown families and said he would "keep fighting for the votes they deserve," said White House spokesman Jay Carney.
The Senate plans to debate an amendment Tuesday expanding background checks less broadly than the overall legislation would. Broadening the system to cover more transactions is the heart of the current effort on guns.
That amendment, a compromise between Sens. Patrick Toomey, R-Pa., and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., would subject buyers in commercial settings like gun shows and the Internet to the checks but exempt non-commercial transactions like sales between friends and relatives.
That accord, unveiled Wednesday, was designed to build bipartisan support for the legislation and seemed likely to do so. Toomey and Manchin are among the most conservative members of their parties and are both gun owners with NRA ratings of "A."
Toomey said Thursday he believes supporters of his compromise with Manchin would be able to beat back any filibuster attempt.
"Beyond that, I just don't know yet," he said on "CBS This Morning."
Gun-control groups have embraced the Manchin-Toomey compromise with varying degrees of enthusiasm, and they continued to applaud it on Thursday - while also expressing concerns about some provisions.
Besides the exemption for private sales, gun control advocates expressed displeasure with language letting gun dealers sell handguns to out-of-state customers, exempting some holders of permits for concealed weapons from background checks and shielding individuals who sell guns from some negligence lawsuits.
"We are optimistic that this bill will make a dramatic difference in reducing gun violence," said Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
The NRA said it opposed the Manchin-Toomey compromise and warned senators that it would count votes on provisions it opposes in its evaluation of candidates that it provides its members, who the organization says number nearly 5 million.

10/19/10 Bhutan (CDN) – A court in predominantly Buddhist Bhutan has sentenced a Christian to three years in prison for "attempting to promote civil unrest" by screening films on Christianity.
A local court in Gelephu convicted Prem Singh Gurung, a 40-year-old ethnic Nepalese citizen from Sarpang district in south Bhutan, on Oct. 6, according to the government-run daily Kuensel.
Gurung was arrested four months ago after local residents complained that he was showing Christian films in Gonggaon and Simkharkha villages in Jigmecholing block. Gurung invited villagers to watch Nepali movies, and between each feature he showed films on Christianity.
Government attorneys could not prove "beyond reasonable doubt" that Gurung promoted civil unrest, and therefore "he was charged with an attempt to promote civil unrest," the daily reported.
Gurung was also charged with violation of the Bhutan Information, Communication and Media Act of 2006. Sections 105(1) and 110 of this law require that authorities examine all films before public screening.
A Christian from Bhutan's capital, Thimphu, told Compass that the conviction of Gurung disturbed area villagers.
While Gurung has the right to appeal, it remained unclear if he had the resources to take that course.
Both Gonggaon and Simkharkha are virtually inaccessible. It can take up to 24 and 48 hours to reach the villages from the nearest road.
"Both villages do not have electricity," the daily reported. "But Prem Singh Gurung, with the help of some people, is believed to have carried a projector and a generator to screen the movies in the village."
Over 75 percent of the 683,407 people in Bhutan are Buddhist, mainly from western and eastern parts. Hindus, mostly ethnic Nepalese from southern Bhutan, are estimated to be around 22 percent of the population.
It is also estimated that around 6,000 Bhutanese, mostly from south, are Christian in this landlocked nation between India and China. However, their presence is not officially acknowledged in the country. As a result, they practice their faith from the confines of their homes, with no Christian institution officially registered.
Buddhism is the state religion in Bhutan, and the government is mandated to protect its culture and religion according to the 2008 constitution. As in other parts of South Asia, people in Bhutan mistakenly believe that Christianity is a Western faith and that missionaries give monetary benefits to convert people from other religions.
Yesterday's Kuensel published an opinion piece by a Bhutanese woman from New York who described herself as "an aspiring Buddhist" condemning both the conviction of Gurung and Christian "tactics."
"Although we may not like the tactics used by the Christians to proselytize or 'sell' their religion to impoverished and vulnerable groups, let's not lose sight of the bigger picture, in terms of religious tolerance, and what constitutes 'promoting civil unrest,'" wrote Sonam Ongmo. "If we truly want to establish ourselves as a well-functioning democracy, with equal rights for all, let's start with one of the fundamental ones – the right to choose one's faith. We have nothing to worry about Buddhism losing ground to Christianity, but we will if, as a predominantly Buddhist state, we start to deny people the right to their faith."
While her view is representative of liberal Buddhists in Bhutan, a reader's response in a forum on Kuensel's website reflected the harder line.
"These Christians are a cancer to our society," wrote a reader identifying himself as The Last Dragon. "They had crusades after crusades – we don't need that. We are very happy with Buddhism. Once Christianity is perfect – as they always claim [it] to be, then let's see."
In July, the government of Bhutan proposed an amendment in the Penal Code of Bhutan which would punish "proselytizing" that "uses coercion or other forms of inducement." (See, "Buddhist Bhutan Proposes 'Anti-Conversion' Law," July 21.)
Christian persecution arose in Bhutan in the 1980s, when the king began a "one-nation, one-people" campaign to "protect the country's sovereignty and cultural integrity." Ethnic Nepalese, however, protested the move on grounds of discrimination. Authorities responded militarily, leading to the expulsion or voluntary migration of over 100,000 ethnic Nepalese, many of whom were secret Christians, to the Nepal side of the border in Jhapa in the early 1990s.
An absolute monarchy for over 100 years, Bhutan became a democratic, constitutional monarchy in March 2008, in accordance with the wish of former King Jigme Singye Wangchuck, who served from 1972 to 2006. Since the advent of democracy, the country has brought in many reforms. It is generally believed that the government is gradually giving more freedom to its citizens.
The present king, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, and Prime Minister Lyonchen Jigmey Thinley, are respected by almost all Bhutanese and are seen as benevolent rulers.

The average medical claim from a motorcycle crash rose by more than one-fifth last year in Michigan after the state stopped requiring all riders to wear helmets, according to an insurance industry study. Across the nation, motorcyclists opposed to mandatory helmet use have been chipping away at state helmet laws for years while crash deaths have been on the rise.
For more than 40 years, Michigan required all motorcycle riders to wear helmets. State legislators changed the law last year so that only riders younger than 21 must wear helmets. The average insurance payment on a motorcycle injury claim was $5,410 in the two years before the law was changed, and $7,257 after it was changed — an increase of 34 percent, the study by the Highway Loss Data Institute found.
After adjusting for the age and type of motorcycle, rider age, gender, marital status, weather and other factors, the actual increase was about 22 percent relative to a group of four comparative states, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin, the study found.
"The cost per injury claim is significantly higher after the law changed than before, which is consistent with other research that shows riding without a helmet leads to more head injuries," said David Zuby, chief research officer for the data institute and an affiliated organization, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The data institute publishes insurance loss statistics on most car, SUV, pickup truck and motorcycle models on U.S. roads.
While other studies have shown an increase motorcycle deaths after states eliminate or weaken mandatory helmet requirements, the industry study is the first to look specifically at the effect of repealing helmet requirements on the severity of injuries as measured by medical insurance claims, Zuby said.
Some states have sought to mitigate the repeal or loosening of mandatory helmet laws by setting minimum medical insurance requirements, but "that doesn't even come close to covering the lifelong care of somebody who is severely brain-injured and who cannot work and who is going to be on Medicaid and a ward of the state," said Jackie Gillan, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, which backs mandatory helmet requirements for all riders.
Jeff Hennie, vice president of the Motorcycle Riders Foundation, dismissed the study, saying the insurance industry views helmets as "the silver bullet that's going to change the landscape of motorcycle safety." He said insurers are upset because "life has gotten more expensive for them and they have to pay out more."
"The fact is our highways are bloody," Hennie said. "This (the Michigan helmet law change) doesn't make helmets illegal. … No one is forcing anyone to ride without a helmet."
Vince Consiglio, president of American Bikers Aimed Toward Education of Michigan, blamed the increase in the severity of injuries on bikers who don't take safety courses required to obtain a special motorcycle license. He said bikers without motorcycle licenses have made up an increasingly larger share of fatalities and injuries in recent years.
But Gillan said the study "clearly shows there is no such thing as a free ride, and the public is paying the cost for this."
There's no way to know how many of the Michigan claims involved motorcyclists not wearing helmets, the study said. But another recent study by the University of Michigan's Transportation Research Institute found a significant increase in motorcyclists involved in crashes who weren't wearing helmets after the law changed. From April 13, 2012, the first full day after the change took effect, through the end of the year, 74 percent of motorcyclists involved in crashes were wearing helmets, compared with 98 percent in the same period for the previous four years, the study found.
Nationally, motorcycle deaths have risen in 14 of the past 15 years, and appear to have reached an all-time high of more than 5,000, according to an analysis by the Governors Highway Safety Association of preliminary 2012 data.
Currently, 19 states and the District of Columbia require all motorcyclists to wear a helmet, 28 states require only some motorcyclists — usually younger or novice riders — to wear a helmet, and three states have no helmet use law. States have been gradually repealing or weakening mandatory helmet laws for nearly two decades.
In 1967, to increase motorcycle helmet use, the federal government required that states enact helmet laws in order to qualify for certain federal safety programs and highway construction aid. The federal incentive worked. By the early 1970s, almost all states had motorcycle helmet laws that covered all riders. In 1976, Congress stopped the Transportation Department from assessing financial penalties on states without helmet laws, and state lawmakers began repealing the statutes.
In 1991, Congress created new incentives for states to enact helmet and seat belt laws, but reversed itself four years later.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which sent observers to states last year to count how many motorcyclists wore helmets, found that 97 percent of motorcyclists in states with universal helmet laws were wearing helmets compared with 58 percent of motorcyclists in states without such coverage.

tie %ea, 'OS2::ExtAttr', 'my.file';
print $ea{eaname};
$ea{myfield} = 'value';
untie %ea;
The package provides low-level and high-level interface to Extended Attributes under OS/2.
High-level interface: tie
The only argument of tie() is a file name, or an open file handle.
Note that all the changes of the tied hash happen in core, to propagate it to disk the tied hash should be untie()ed or should go out of scope. Alternatively, one may use the low-level update
method on the corresponding object. Example:
Note also that setting/getting EA flag is not supported by the high-level interface, one should use the low-level interface instead. To use it on a tied hash one needs undocumented way to find eas
give the tied hash.
Low-level interface
Two low-level methods are supported by the objects: copy() and update(). The copy() takes one argument: the name of a file to copy the attributes to, or an opened file handle. update() takes no arguments, and is discussed above.
Three convenience functions are provided:
value($eas, $key)
add($eas, $key, $value [, $flag])
replace($eas, $key, $value [, $flag])
The default value for flag
is 0.

With pumpkins being in season I have been roasting them to make and freeze pumpkin puree for use later. By the end of the day my place was pretty hot from having the the oven on so much. While I was thinking about how warm my place was I remembered seeing this recipe for a pumpkin pie milkshake on Our Best Bites that sounded like the perfect way to beet the heat and enjoy some of the freshly pureed pumpkin. With the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spices and the brown sugar, this drink is pretty much just a pumpkin pie in milkshake form. There is even a graham cracker garnish to remind you of the pies crust.
For the most part I left the original recipe as it was though, I did replace the vanilla ice cream with frozen vanilla yogurt and I garnished the milkshake with crumbled gingersnaps rather than graham crackers. This milkshake was literally as easy to make as throwing the ingredients together and blending. You can easily control the consistency of the shake by changing the amount of milk that you use. If you like a really thick shake, only use just enough milk that the ice cream or frozen yogurt will puree in the bender. If you like a thinner shake then you just need to add some more milk. The pumpkin pie milkshake was so good! It was nice and thick and the pumpkin pie flavours came through really well. It was a great seasonal treat and it was nice and refreshing after having the oven on all day long. I know that I will be enjoying a few more of these shakes while I still have some pumpkin puree on hand!
Pumpkin Pie Milkshake
- 2 cups vanilla frozen yogurt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon gingersnap cookies (crumbled, optional
- Blend everything other than the gingersnap cookies in a blender.
- Serve garnished with the gingersnap cookies.
Pumpkin Pie White Hot Chocolate

Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream

Though it hasn't made much news in the last few years, Sony's PlayStation 2 game console has stuck around—despite the fact that we've been hearing about the replacement for its replacement. Today, Sony drove the final nail into the console's coffin. Famitsu reports that Sony has stopped shipping the console in Japan; once the current inventory in the channel is sold out, no new PS2s will be available for purchase. This puts an end to hardware that first launched in March of 2000, has sold over 150 million units, and (according to Sony) can play well over 10,000 games.
New game releases for the console have long since slowed to a trickle (in North America, the PS2 has seen a handful of sports titles in 2011 and 2012, but practically nothing else) but Sony has continued to make and sell new PS2s for use with the console's formidable back catalogue. Sony shipped only two major revisions of the hardware—the original "fat" PS2 sold at the console's launch was replaced by the much smaller slimline model in late 2004—but it continued to make small internal tweaks to reduce the console's weight and cost until 2007, well after the PlayStation 3 had launched. According to Neilson ratings, the PS2 was still the most-played console of 2008, a testament to its strong game library and long-term popularity.
Sony's second console has been around for an extraordinarily long time and spanned a mind-boggling number of gaming epochs. When it was released, the Nintendo 64 was still Nintendo's flagship console (it has since been replaced by the Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U), its primary competition was Sega's Dreamcast, and Microsoft's Xbox didn't even exist. 3D games hadn't yet come to handheld consoles—Nintendo's 8-bit Game Boy Color wouldn't be replaced by the Game Boy Advance until 2001, and the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable were still nearly five years off. Smartphones and tablets as we know them weren't yet a glimmer in anyone's eye. And yet, through all of this technological progression, you could still hop on Amazon and order a new PlayStation 2.
That era is now coming to a close. So long, PlayStation 2, and thanks for all the games about fish.

You looked so slick in your bespoke suit, your polished wingtips, your neatly trimmed hair. You strode purposefully, manfully, through the crowd, Wall Street Journal tucked under your arm, eyes fixed ahead. You couldn't have been a broker or hedge fund manager - too late in the morning to be on the subway, and to be on the subway in the first place - but still, you smelled of business and money clips and your walk told me that you probably had some meeting to get to, some merger to oversee, some economy to destroy.
That's what I saw, anyway, as you strode toward me, the mom, shuffling along in capri pants and scuffed ballet flats and wrinkled Gap t-shirt, pushing the Maclaren, singing to the toddler fidgeting within. I don't know if you saw me, I don't know what you saw, but I do know this: we were in your way.
We were pushing our way through the open-gated ticket entrance, the one that strollers and wheelchairs use, the one that isn't supposed to be used as an exit, the one that you were exiting through anyway. There was you, and there was us, and there were twenty or forty or a hundred other commuters thronging through the downtown station and we got stuck. We were coming in, you were coming out. We came to a stop, me and my baby, and we waited for you to step aside. We expected you to step aside.
You didn't.
You stared right over our heads and kept walking. You just kept right on walking. You lifted your perfectly-creased pantleg and stepped over the front-end of the stroller, stepped over the stroller, baby and all, and kept right on walking.
You stepped over my stroller, you stepped over my baby in her stroller, and knocked me in the shoulder as you pushed by. You stepped over my baby and you didn't lose pace, you didn't miss a step, you didn't give it a thought. You have, I'm sure, done this before. Maybe not with a stroller - maybe it was a wheelchair, maybe a walker, unfortunately attached to someone infirm or elderly, someone inconvenient - but with something in your way.
Mr. Tardhole McAsshat, I want you to know this: you're an asshole. The worst kind of asshole, the kind who causes me to lose faith with humanity, the kind who makes me feel that we are, we humans, irredeemable. I hate you for making me so angry on such a beautiful morning.
I would hope that your balls shrivel up in your pressed cotton boxers and rot. I could hope that, but I won't. What I do hope is this: that one day, you are pushing a stroller, or a walker, or are navigating the city in a wheelchair, and you come face to face to someone just like you. And I hope that, in that moment, you recognize you, and that you shrivel a little inside at the expectation of being shoved or stepped over. And then, I hope, that person stops, and steps aside, and shows you what human beings should be like. Can be like.
I would have taken a picture of me lifting my skirt and doing a rude flash, instead of recycling the bird, but I'm just not that bendy. You can, however, still check out my more figurative skirt-lifting here, and vote for me to get presents.
