Above the Fold
So tell us what you really think about what you see on TV
Why I'm Here
Above the Fold | May 2011 | Mar 2011
D-FW ratings have more import than usual on opening night of May "sweeps"
The Dallas Mavericks' close-out of Portland and opening night of the NFL draft were among the many high-wattage attractions on Day 1 of the May "sweeps" ratings competition. Get all of the major results on our Dallas-Fort Worth TV page.
Mavericks advance to Round 2, but DMN columnist who branded them "gutless" no longer seems to have an opinion
Did the Dallas Mavericks deserve to be branded "gutless" after that Game 4 debacle? Definitely not. But the Dallas Morning News sports columnist who swung the meat ax hasn't had a word to say about the team since -- at least not in print. For shame. Our opinion is here.
"Ask Uncle Barky" -- and you shall receive
Our "Ask Uncle Barky" feature makes a triumphant return -- hey, we're getting into self-congratulatory May ratings "sweeps" mode -- with a nice selection of your questions about national and local TV. Oddly enough, you can find it on the "Ask Uncle Barky" page.
Also, CBS correspondent Lara Logan has returned to work and will be on 60 Minutes Sunday to make the first public comments about the February beating and sexual assault she survived while covering February's revolution in Egypt. We have more details and a video excerpt here. And Wednesday's D-FW Nielsen ratings show surprisingly solid ratings for a two-hour repeat of NBC's The Voice, which had gotten off to a strong start on the previous night.
NBC's The Voice has three Texans in initial "Battle Round" field of 12
The Voice has NBC programmers making some joyful noises after Tuesday's two-hour premiere drew strong ratings. Three of the first 12 contestants selected by the show's four celebrity judges are from Texas. Get the details on our TV Bulletin Board page.
Dallas-based WFAA8's Daybreak wakes up with newcomer Ron Corning, but still breaks too many eggs
WFAA8's Daybreak set sail with its fifth male anchor in less than three years Wednesday. And Ron Corning already seems better than the show itself, which still has some plumbing problems. Our review is here.
Plus, how did NBC's big two-hour premiere of The Voice do Tuesday night? And which D-FW news operation won weather-palooza? Our latest ratings "snapshot" as usual is on the Dallas-Fort Worth TV page.
A second bite at Tuesday's D-FW weather-palooza
After Tuesday's post on weathercaster attire, we revisit all of the program pre-emptions and viewer disgruntlement in a Wednesday missive that also notes Fox4's continuing inability to air HD pictures and weather bugs/crawls at the same. It's all on our Dallas-Fort Worth TV page. Also, apologies for our server being down for a while earlier this morning.
NBC5's Finfrock still keeping his shirt on -- and his coat, too!
Severe weather in parts of the North Texas viewing area again brought all of the main weathercasters into constant view Tuesday afternoon and evening. NBC5's David Finfrock, as you'll see on our Dallas-Fort Worth TV page, stood out in more ways than one.
Couric leaving CBS -- and ramping up the drama by the way she made it official
As long rumored, Katie Couric will be leaving the CBS Evening News anchor chair when he contract with the network expires on June 4th. But the way in which she announced the news has not charmed her soon-to-be ex-employer. Get all the details on our Network News & Reviews page.
Plus, Monday's D-FW Nielsen ratings highlight the Dallas Mavericks' big Game 5 playoff win against Portland. But were the Mavs a big enough draw to beat Dancing with the Stars? Yes and no.
Making a case for the Mavs (so sue me)
Saturday's fourth quarter catastrophe has made the Dallas Mavericks easy targets again. One Dallas newspaper columnist is calling them "gutless." Your friendly content provider disagrees while also having the temerity to question three key officiating calls down the home stretch of Game 4 in Portland. Our counter-attack is here.
WFAA8's Campos on the mend again while CW33's Crome ending long term as sports anchor-reporter
WFAA8 anchor Gloria Campos had back surgery on Good Friday and will be off the air for at least this week and perhaps longer. And CW33 sports anchor-reporter Dave Crome is the latest to leave the station after surviving much longer than most. The details on Campos are here and the Crome story is here.
Reporter Sophia Reza leaving Fox4
Reporter Sophia Reza has resigned from Dallas-based Fox4 to join her husband in Seattle after he took a new job. Further details are on the Dallas-Fort Worth TV page.
Fox4 meteorologist Ron Jackson loses Cedar Hill home in Good Friday fire
A fire of still undetermined origin has gutted the Cedar Hill home of longtime Fox4 meteorologist Ron Jackson. He provided more details, including the sad loss of some pets, on our Dallas-Fort Worth TV page.
Dan, Dan, he's their man (Fox4's Dan Godwin may not be the station's leading man, but he's survived as an all-purpose go-to guy)
Fox4's Dan Godwin is one of the D-FW television market's consummate utility men. This week he sucked it up and took two live rides in the front seat of the newly refurbished Texas Giant rollercoaster. We give him a few props here.
Hooray for the return of HBO's Treme (prounced Tre-MAY)
review is here.
Plus, the Dallas Mavericks' Game 3 playoff loss at Portland threw its overall audience for a loss, too. At least compared to Game 2. Get all the details on our Dallas-Fort Worth TV page.
Long ago, in pre-Snooki times, PBS birthed the first full-blown "reality" series
PBS' 1973 An American Family, a 12-hour fly-on-the-wall look at the fractious Louds of Santa Barbara, can be (dis)credited with birthing the still exploding "reality" TV movement. The new HBO movie Cinema Verite recreates those times with the star power of Diane Lane, Tim Robbins and James Gandolfini. Our review is here.
Plus, Wednesday's D-FW Nielsen ratings show high times for Fox/Fox4 and some pluck for the local Peacock.
Watson vs. Obama: a fuller view after the national stir
WFAA8 reporter Brad Watson's interview with President Obama quickly made national waves. But did Dallas viewers get the full picture? WFAA8's posting of the raw footage definitely merits a second look, which we do here while Watson and station management decline to explain further.
Plus, Tuesday's D-FW Nielsen ratings are another big blow to TXA21's homegrown Dallas Mavericks telecast, which was buried by TNT's nationally aired presentation. And Dallas-based KERA13 cancels the Friday night TV version of the locally produced Think.
NBC again plans to ride 'em Cowboys on new Sunday Night Football schedule
The Peacock's 2011 Sunday Night Football scheduled is newly announced, and the Dallas Cowboys are the only losing team from last season with the maximum three games. In fact, just one other losing team has even one SNF game. The details are on our Dallas-Fort Worth TV page.
Rangers keep rolling in ratings
Monday's concluding hour of the Texas Rangers' home win over the Angels beat both a new episode of Hawaii Five-0 and a Babs Walters royal wedding special. Get all the details, plus other notable Nielsen numbers, on our Dallas-Fort Worth TV page.
Plus, we have a link to a Denver TV reporter's one-on-one interviews with President Obama so that you can compare it to the much-commented on sit-down between the president and WFAA8's Brad Watson.
Toe to toe: WFAA8's Brad Watson squares off with the president, who doesn't much like his style
President Obama granted a brief audience Monday to four local TV stations from around the country. Dallas-based WFAA8 was one of them, and reporter Brad Watson wasn't about to ride off into namby pamby land. Our review of their at times clenched encounter is here, where you also can have a look at Jane Slater's first day on the air as WFAA8's new "traffic anchor."
Louis-Dreyfus segues to Cadillac of cable networks to play nation's No. 2 politico
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, whose mega-stardom in Seinfeld led to the less fertile New Adventures of Old Christine, will move to HBO for her latest comedy series. The details are on our TV Bulletin Board page, where you also can get the specs on a new cockamamie reality competition series coming soon to NBC.
Mavs also man up in D-FW ratings
The Dallas Mavericks' gut check Game 1 playoff win over Portland (all the more impressive after both the Spurs and Lakers lost their home openers) amassed the team's biggest audience this season Saturday night.
Still, there's a cloud hanging over Mavs owner Mark Cuban's decision to "freshen" the local telecasts by dumping veteran analyst Bob Ortegel late in the season. Get all the details on our Dallas-Fort Worth TV page.
Plus, on my home away from home, locatetv.com, there's a play-around review of Monday night's made-for-TV William & Kate movie on Lifetime.
Reporter Jane Slater switching D-FW stations -- from CBS11 to WFAA8
Reporter Jane Slater, who's been freelancing for CBS11, is joining forces with rival WFAA8 -- beginning Monday. More details are on our Dallas-Fort Worth TV page.
David Hasselhoff journeys to small Texas town to meet -- wait for it -- David Hasselhoff
There are a million and one ideas for reality TV series out there. Here's another one that made the cut: Celeb meets same-named commoner and walks a mile in his/her shoes. Which means that there's more than one David Hasselhoff out there -- and he lives in Texas. Details are on the Network News & Reviews page.
Tough times for three new comedies but not for the start of Will Ferrell's four-episode arc on The Office
The D-FW Nielsen ratings for Wednesday and Thursday show minimal returns for NBC's The Paul Reiser Show, ABC's Happy Endings and Fox's Breaking In. But that Will Ferrell dude knows how to pack 'em in. Wednesday's numbers are here, and Thursday's are here.
Can the Mavs man up?
Expectations remain low, at least among most prognosticators, as the Dallas Mavericks prepare to take their season-long reality show to a much more cutthroat playoff proving ground Saturday night. Will they finally show some grit and gristle? Our assessment, plus a dig at Spurs' coach Gregg Popovich, is on the Dallas-Fort Worth TV page.
Turn on the lights: NBC's FNL beginning its final broadcast network run
Austin's finest -- and the only long-running TV series without abundant Texas stereotypes -- begins its final 13-episode run on NBC Friday night. That would be Friday Night Lights. And our appreciation is here.
Two daytime soaps going down, just four more remaining
ABC brought the hammer down on All My Children and One Life to Live Thursday, and will be supplanting them with two new food and lifestyle hours. All the details are on our TV Bulletin Board page.
HBO's Game of Thrones unfolds like a game of chess (when it should be checkers)
HBO's first entry into the fantasy realm launches Sunday with Game of Thrones. Adapted from the George R. R. Martin series of books, it's looking like a slog instead of a splash. Our review is here.
Hey, isn't that? . . . NBC's The Paul Reiser Show re-introduces him as himself
On-air promos for The Paul Reiser Show cast him as a true believer that you've probably forgotten all about him. Instead he promotes Will Ferrell's guest arc on The Office. So is the former Mad About You star's new sitcom forgettable -- or maybe a keeper? Well, it's definitely derivative. Our review is here.
Evolution of humankind -- from "The Bro/manzier" on Seinfeld to a "bra for the booty" on Good Morning Texas
Tired of having a pancake-flat behind? WFAA8's Good Morning Texas recently aired a pre-paid, in-studio segment about a line of products that can have butts bubbling up in no time. Meanwhile, Western Civilization took another kidney punch, and this time might not fully recover. See exactly what we're talking about on the ever-eventful Dallas-Fort Worth TV page.
Some looks back at heir apparent Scott Pelley
Former KXAS/WFAA reporter Scott Pelley is widely perceived as the frontrunner to replace Katie Couric as anchor of the CBS Evening News. On our Back Channels page, we revisit the way he was in interviews tied to his 1997 promotion to chief White House correspondent and his battlefield exploits during the early stages of the Iraq war.
ABC's Happy Endings is a comedy that deserves more happy returns
We're in the final month before the broadcast networks officially announce what they'll be adding, subtracting and keeping for next fall. ABC's new Happy Endings is a sitcom-come-lately, but nonetheless a surprisingly amusing one. Our review is here.
NBC's LOLA re-arms by offing one of its own
As NBC's on-air promos show, a re-tooled Law & Order: L.A. (LOLA) does not bode well for Skeet Ulrich's detective character. But will Monday's two-hour makeover be a gainful proposition on a network that keeps shooting itself in the foot? Our review is here.
Buyers beware: Auction Hunters stars invade Garland, TX
The stars of Spike TV's Auction Hunters hit the skids, er, the sheds, in Garland, TX Thursday morning. They didn't end up buying anything, but talked a good game. Our first-hand account is on the Network News & Reviews page.
NBC5's Grant Stinchfield opts for entirely new line of work
Veteran NBC5 reporter Grant Stinchfield is making a big U-turn in careers after deciding that the local TV news business has gotten too chancy. Get his candid assessment -- and what he'll be doing next -- on our Dallas-Fort Worth TV page.
Plus, Wednesday's D-FW Nielsen ratings also are in the house.
Showtime trumpets the real-life "working stiffs" of Gigolos
Laughable, pathetic but certainly not inhibited, the new "reality" series Gigolos shows the members of its members' only club during the course of one sexual assignment after another. Our review is up and running here.
Cougar town throwdown on CBS11's morning eye-opener
It got a little dicey Monday during the CBS11 early morning news, with radio personality Jody Dean using the term "hoochie" to describe the attire of one of the show's frisky co-anchors. New low? See how it all unfolded on our Dallas-Fort Worth TV page.
It can't get any worse for NBC, can it? (It just did)
In what amounts to a seismic shift, NBC now is the first Big Four broadcast network to trail Univision nationally in the key target audience of 18-to-49-year-old viewers. And it's happened twice in the past three ratings weeks. Unclebarky.com takes a closer look at these telltale Nielsen numbers on the Network News & Reviews page.
NCAA's rim-clanging "Big Dance" finale vs. ABC's Dancing as usual
Monday night's D-FW Nielsens were a battle for bragging rights between CBS' mis-firing NCAA hoops championship game and the usual histrionics on ABC's Dancing with the Stars. We've got the final scores right here.
Wild about Harry? Smith would be best choice to succeed Couric
Dutiful Harry Smith has done everything that's been asked of him during his long career at CBS News. Now they should ask him to succeed Katie Couric as anchor of the Evening News. We make his case here.
Dallas Morning News millionaires club further pads wallets; worker bees can only buzz about it
The top executives at the A.H. Belo-owned Dallas Morning News hit the jackpot again last year while their employees have been without raises for several years and counting. Get the details and our take here in a story that was first reported by the CBS television affiliate in Providence, R.I., where Belo also owns a newspaper.
Beware of Fox's Breaking In entering your living room
Fox wastes a coveted post-American Idol slot on a big dud Wednesday night. Our review of Breaking In, which at least was fun to write, is here.
WFAA8 pointedly points out what it has and rivals don't -- a trophy case full of Peabodys
WFAA8's seventh prestigious Peabody award win last week has spurred a quick promo in which the Dallas-based station finds its rivals wanting. You can see it on our Dallas-Fort Worth TV page, where the latest local Nielsen "snapshot" shows WFAA8 without any ratings wins for the third straight weekday.
Poke at the Pope: Showtime's The Borgias depicts the Holy Father as The Godfather
The Tudors gave Showtime a four-season run through the iniquities of King Henry VIII. The network follows up Sunday night with The Borgias, which depicts the wretched excesses of Pope Alexander VI, beginning in the year after li'l Hank was born. Our review is here.
Also, reports from Detroit say that Charlie Sheen bombed big time on opening night of his "Violent Torpedo of Truth" tour. He's due in Dallas on April 27th, but will he make it this far? And if so, who's idiotic enough to go see him -- even if you already have a ticket?
Plus, our earlier posted reviews of two other big Sunday night attractions have reverted to the March 2011 archives. You can find AMC's The Killing here and ReelzChannel's The Kennedys here.
Not quite done yet. Thursday's D-FW Nielsen ratings are here, with all of our previous coverage of early morning local TV intrigues now in the March 2011 archives on the Dallas-Fort Worth TV page.

At the Monday, January 29th meeting, Officer Joe Nemchock of the Glen Ellyn Police Department spoke about the DARE program targeted to All D41 5th grade students. In 2003, the program evolved to its current focus on responsible decision-making (Define Assess Respond Evaluate). Officer Joe meets weekly for an hour with 5th grade classes over a period of eight weeks. Topics include: Tobacco/Alcohol, Risk & Consequences, Peer Pressure, Stress, Communication, Bullying & Internet Safety, and Helping Others. When asked about the biggest issue officers deal with at the High School level, Officer Joe responded that online bullying is a big concern. He suggested restricting access and monitoring activity.
Council members celebrated the success of recent programs and discussed opportunities to adjust practices for sound management at theatre productions, Reflections art program, summer slide programming, and dine out events. Members also learned how D41 is working with the Postmaster to ensure all bulk materials are delivered to the community, monitoring the continuing development of housing behind Center Ice, and responding to the concerns of Wheaton residents opposed to the Hadley bus lane addition due to their concerns regarding bus traffic.
Please encourage members to share their WOW (Warm-Open-Welcoming) moments with the staff by emailing wearewow@d41.org about their experience. Also invite your community to nominate educators/principal/volunteer/youth service leaders via the IL PTA by 2/15. The Chamber of Commerce is also accepting nominations for Educator of the Year until 2/16.
As we reflect on the amazing contributions of our members, it's also time to look ahead to the future PTA Leaders of next year. Nominating committees will be forming at the Council and School levels soon. PTA Leader elections will happen in April/May. Contact your local leaders if you are interested in making a meaningful local impact in D41.
Council members will meet again on Monday, February 26th.


While the subject matter is extremely important and real, I felt like there was nothing g but character development in this book. I kept trying to plod through it but it was not deep or layered with a good plot, just really well developed characters. Not a page Turner.
A wonderful story with strong women leads. Loved it. Fabulous character development. A different time period. I found it quite educational.
A great tale woven with the truth of real trauma. Absolutely loved it. Looking for more by the same author.
Loved it. I kept making excuses to go listen to it. Brings a view of society we often do not want to look at.
This novel touched me on so many levels; as a professional in the domestic violence sector, as a woman, as a humanitarian and as a mother. I found reasons to disengage from other activities so I could come back and listen to the story. I found it to be a powerful story line.
Just found this author and am thrilled. It is like having a best friend right there with you The story addresses so many issues that are real for women that people do not realize.
An author I never discovered before. Latv2 novels grabbed me by the heart and squeezed!!
I played hooky from work to finish this book. It was unbelievably gripping and emotional. It was deep. I felt like I was there with them. A must read!
For once women are not saved by a man. They are strong individuals that overcome stuff that we hold onto, until we truly mature.


Love and power; two seperate things, yet the one can't live without the other.
This story revolves around the lifes of two young women. Whethever it is due to fate or to ambition, they find themselves near to the crown, both in politics as in passion. While it might seem to the world that they have placed themselves in the heart of power, the world does not know that it is much harder to have everything, than it is to have nothing.

Accident by Andrew Zago
In fields, such as architecture, that produce carefully authored compositions, the chance arrangements of material grain, patinas, or other traces of matter's resistance to orderly control are sometimes allowed an expression in the final work. In these instances they are viewed as desirable features—even moral ones when touted as evidence of a work's architectonic authenticity. Beyond this limited embellishment nature provides to otherwise determined technological assemblies, there are larger scale also embraced instances of matter's random nature acting against, and in part undoing, such assemblies. The effects of weathering and the slouch or deformation of structures over time are often seen as endearing informal enhancements to the rigidity of precise compositions. A more extreme but equally well understood example is the classical ruin. In it, a technological assembly (a building) is undermined to a degree that the total final effect is coproduced by the original composition and its material disassembly. Since at least Romanticism such ruins—almost always in stone—have garnered a level of appreciation that can be considered connoisseurship.
In all of these instances there is happenstance; the appearance of a complex, stochastic logic of matter—both its crystalline or organic growth and its complex degradation in its environment—that is outside of and contrary to our instrumental control, unraveling our intended arrangements. We may dress a rock in geometric form and name it 'column,' but eventually—if centuries later—it will return to its feral state and, if still functioning, may even cause a structure to collapse. This interplay of happenstance and control extends well beyond these familiar occasions and their attendant sensibilities. They are all accidents, and as such they represent only a small, historically aestheticized, subset of an interplay that (potentially) exists in every technological assembly.

2013 MERITS program is underway!
The 2013 MERITS student class has been selected and matched with host institutions across the state. The program kicks-off with an orientation day event on Monday, June 24. Students will then begin work on their research projects at their designated host institutions the very next day.
Eleven students make up the 2013 class from seven different high schools. Students will be working in projects relating to climate change, effects of radiation on neural morphology and function, studies of biosignatures in Serpentinite-water systems and projects that relate to various disciplines in Neuroscience, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemistry, Environmental Science and Biology.
Students will be immersed in hands-on research work through the seven week program this summer. The program will conclude with a celebration day event on the last day of the program. The celebration event will bring together students, their parents and host mentors for the purpose of showcasing the outstanding work that students have contributed to their projects.
Congratulations to the Class of 2013 – we look forward to a fun and productive program this year!


I think I might have experienced a first this morning – waking up sore after yoga.
Apparently I worked some muscles in my back I forgot I had. Just another sign that the class from last night was awesome and I must find a way to take it again and again (without blowing the bank).
Another first for me – well a first in a while – was running without my Garmin. The battery was dead, so for the first time in who knows how long I left it behind.
Is it weird how oddly freeing it felt to run without the Garmin? I felt lighter almost. I wasn't constantly checking my pace or worrying about how much farther I had to go. It's not like I need the garmin to calculate the distance around my complex anymore – I have each route breakdowns memorized by heart. I just tried to lose myself in the run and it felt great.
On Sunday I randomly picked up some Muesli from the bulk bins at Whole Foods. Before my run I mixed a 1/2 cup of the Muesli with some yogurt and almond milk and when I was ready for breakfast I topped the bowl with Kashi Honey Sunshine, Strawberries, and Naturally Nutty Cinnamon Vanilla Sunflower Butter.
The muesli became a big pile of mush once it was soaked, but when you add the crunch of the other cereal and the sweetness of the strawberries it wasn't that bad.
I think next time I am going to treat the muesli as I would granola and just use is as a cereal or yogurt topping. I actually read somewhere (I forget where) that you should treat granola –or muesli in this case – as a condiment to yogurt or cereal bowls. You want it to compliment the bowls, but not have it be the main event. I really liked that analogy.
It's not quite the same thing, but I think of pasta and grains and things like that as side dishes, not the main dish. So I'd never have 'a plate of pasta', I'd have loads of stuff, with pasta on the side (if it's stuffed pasta, not so much cos it's a protein and a carb). Maybe that's actually normal!? I just go by what my family do, and they'll have pasta as THE dish, which I hate!
I agree about museli/granola being a side thing, not the main though.
That's my mind-set too. In Italian class, we were watching a movie in which two Italian brothers start a restaurant in America. In one scene there's a couple who are angry because their risotto doesn't come with a side of spaghetti. I feel like that's exactly what America does to classic dishes!
i've seen that movie! and loved it! called big night maybe?
RE: Leaving your Garmin: I'm starting to feel the same way with my Zune player. I would forget to charge it and show up for a run with it dead. I would have a moment of panic, but told myself that I can run with out it. Sure enough, I finished my run just fine. In fact it was a little bit easier without the long headphone cord flapping about and distracting me!
I think fruit for me has changed from the "main event" into a condiment. Especially now that I live by myself, I need to think of different ways to use up the fruit so that it doesn't spoil on me!
I'm a vegetarian, so this doesn't apply to me, but I think it is important for everyone to think of meat as more of a condiment and less of a main dish. Plates should really be loaded up with fruits and veggies, not a hunk of meat. It is also important to stress this doesn't mean sacrificing protein; even non-vegetarians can and should enjoy other protein sources like bean, grains and nuts!
I like to think of meat as more of a condiment or a flavorer and base a meal on vegetable that just soak up the meat flavor.
I totally agree with this! Just a little bit of chicken as one of many salad toppings, or one slice of bacon in a scrambled egg and veggie dish – it really adds lots of flavour and depth. You really don't need a whole plate of chicken!
I also think of dried fruit as a condiment – a little goes a long way!
I was at Whole Foods last night but couldn't decide on which granola to try from the bulk bins!
I usually use landmarks on my run to guide me since I don't have a GPS watch.
Running sans Garmin can be SO liberating, especially when it's combined with a good running buddy. There's nothing I love more than a nice mosey with a friend!
I like the granola analogy!
I've only run with mine a few times since I've been injured, but I can see how it would become addicting. Those few times I was constantly competing with myself.
im under the garmin's spell… i couldnt leave it at home. but i have been checking and looking at it a lot less during runs.
I really like running without my Garmin sometimes. It is freeing. I also love to run without my iPod every once in a while. It feels so good!
I love running without my Garmin, but I can definitely see why you wouldn't want to during a serious training time.
I agree with Evan above, I now think of meat as being more of a side dish than the main attraction. Give me my veggies!
I look at pasta and meat/poultry as a condiment and focus on the veggies as my main event. It has really made a huge difference in my energy levels.
I love running without my garmin! It's so true, it's 'freeing' which is SO amusing!
Sometimes I feel the same way when I leave my iPod behind on runs. If I have it on, I'm constantly thinking about how much more time until the track is over or what to put on next to keep me motivated. But with nothing but the sounds of my breathing I can just zone out and enjoy the work-out. It's especially nice to do that when running outside!
i would definitely say granola is probably the biggest thing that could be a main event, but i just top my yogurt or oats with a little bit instead. i also try to do that with dinner sometimes….make the veggies the main event and have a small "side" of meat!
I actually like granola a lot but I agree, it must be a condiment because it's so calorie dense. Like another commenter, I think of meat as a condiment and not the main dish.
I sometimes use chocolate as a condiment ie added to soy ice cream or yogurt to make a bulkier dessert!
I always use my granola or cereal as a condiment when pairing it with yogurt and fruit. I sprinkle it on top.
I like to think of pesto as more of a condiment than a full sauce just because it's so rich and heavy.
I am going to yoga tonight and it will be my first time. I bet I will be SHOT tomorrow!
i'm sore from yoga yesterday, too 🙂 hip flexors + shoulders!
I actually LOST my Garmin this past weekend after I did a 10K race. It was pouring rain so I had stuck it in my pocket so that it did not get waterlogged and as I was headed back to my car, I did not have my pocket zipped and it fell out. I retraced my steps but couldn't find it, and I was DEVASTATED. I did my first run yesterday without it and did okay because I just reverted to the routes I ran prior to having the Garmin. Enjoy the time without it – I'm saving for a replacement!
I think I try to make veggies and fruit more of the main event, but that doesn't always happen.
Meat and cheese are definitely condiments. And I try to treat nut butter like a condiment. Helps me to manage them better.
I don't have a garmin but I have run without my watch a few times and I always enjoy it a lot more (especially during races)!
i make a point to leave my garmin at home once a week and run with my old school timex. although i couldn't imagine life without my beloved garmin, i can also get a little number crazy, so it's a nice reminder that i run for fun.
Once my Garmin died 1/4 of the way through my run and I must admit it was nice not knowing my pace. It was a slow day because it was so hot but I was glad to just be moving and enjoying the sunshine. It sort of lets you enjoy the run for what it is ya know?

If TCU coach Gary Patterson's young offense can mature quickly, the Horned Frogs could vie for a Big 12 title. (Tony Gutierrez / AP)
Orlando Sentinel college insider Matt Murschel ranked all 128 Football Bowl Subdivision teams in the country entering the 2016 season. The Sentinel staff takes a closer look at a new team daily, counting backward from No. 128 to our projected No. 1 team.
Today at No. 28: TCU
Coach: Gary Patterson (143-47, entering 16th season; 143-47 overall)
2015 record: 11-2 overall, 7-2 in Big 12 Conference; tied for second overall
Look back: TCU opened the 2015 season by winning its first eight games for the first time since 2010. The Horned Frogs appeared to be on their way to another Big 12 title if not for a disappointing road losses to Oklahoma State and Oklahoma - the latter decided by a failed two-point conversion in the final seconds. The regular season was capped with a thrilling overtime win against Baylor and a come-from-behind win over Oregon in the Alamo Bowl, during which TCU erased a 31-point deficit.
Offensive starters returning: 3
Offensive starters lost: 8
Defensive starters returning: 8
Defensive starters lost: 3
Key losses: OL Halapoulivaati Vaitai, OL Jamelle Naff, OL Joey Hunt, OL Brady Foltz, RB Aaron Green, QB Trevone Boykin, WR Kolby Listenbee, WR Josh Doctson, WR Ja'Juan Story, S Derrick Kindred, CB Corry O'Meally, DT Davion Pierson, DE Terrell Lathan
Top returnees: OL Joseph Noteboom, DE Josh Carraway, DT Aaron Curry, DT Chris Bradley, LB Travin Howard, LB Montrel Wilson, S Denzel Johnson, CB Nick Orr
Strengths: TCU finished the season as one of three teams in the nation to average more than 550 yards per game, logging 42 points and 562 yards per contest. Quarterback Trevone Boykin re-wrote the record books at TCU, leaving as the program's all-time leader in passing yards, passing touchdowns, completions and total offense. Kenny Hill, a transfer from Texas A&M, will battle with sophomore Foster Sawyer for the starting job. Hill burst onto the scene in 2014 when he passed for 2,649 yards with 23 touchdowns for the Aggies before deciding to leave the program.
KaVontae Turpin is the team's top returning receiver with 45 catches for 649 yards and eight touchdowns last season. A threat on the return game as well, Turpin averaged more than 14 yards per catch last season.
"I think sometimes when you have a younger football team that's played, they haven't – they're still in a situation where they want to become great. They don't know who they are. I think that helps you sometimes as long as there is a competence level," Patterson said during Big 12 media days.
Injuries hit the defense hard last season and it showed in the box scores, with TCU giving up more than eight points and 50 yards more per game than the previous season. The good news is that the unit is healthy again and the group returns eight starters, including five of the front seven. The group is led by linebacker Travin Howard (107 tackles) and accounted for more than 17 of the team's 32 sacks last season.
Weaknesses: TCU's offensive line was hit hard by the departures of four starters who combined recorded more than 100 career starts. Tackles Aviante Collins (24 career starts) and Joseph Noteboom (12) will be called upon to provide veteran leadership for a group that allowed just 18 sacks in 2015.
Aaron Green became the program's first 1,000-yard rusher since 2010. His exit leaves a major hole to be filled in 2016. Oft-injured Shaun Nixon showed flashes of potential but could miss all of this season, according to Patterson. Junior Kyle Hicks is the team's top returning rusher with 262 yards and three touchdowns. Michigan transfer Derrick Green could also add some depth to the position.
Outlook: If not for a failed two-point conversion against Oklahoma, TCU would most likely be heading into this season having won back-to-back Big 12 titles. Still, the Horned Frogs are coming off consecutive double-digit win seasons for the first time since 2010 and 2011. The program appears to have regained its footing after struggling upon entering the Big 12 in 2012. If a young offense develops smoothly, TCU could find itself once again contending for a conference championship.

Beyonce Fans Hilariously Respond After Kim Kardashian Doesn't Receive Ivy Park Box
If you've browsed your social media platform of choice within the last few weeks you may have noticed that Beyonce has released an Ivy Park collection in collaboration with Adidas. The "Deja Vu" singer has been showcasing the offerings on her Instagram and has even sent boxes of the whole capsule to some very lucky individuals. Missy Elliott, Ellen DeGeneres, Diplo, Zendaya, Janelle Monae, Rita Ora, and lots more all got a huge box delivered to their home with a special note from Beyonce herself.
However, true Beyonce fans have noticed that there's one person who seemingly hasn't received a box at all and it's none other than Kim Kardashian. While we can't confirm if it's true, we do know that everyone who has received a box has proudly boasted about it on social media. Kim's sister Kendall Jenner even got a box but so far nothing has proven that Kim got one herself. Could the beef between Beyonce's husband Jay Z and Kanye West have something to do with it? Either way, people have taken to Twitter to express their hilarious remarks.
"I love knowing Kim Kardashian ain't get a Ivy Park box from Beyoncé LMAOO (she def woulda posted that shit if she did). Guaranteed that shit is eating her alive, I hope there's footage. I will watch that KUWTK episode just to watch her be pressed lol," one user wrote.
Peep more reactions below.

The way audience data transactions are reported is very different from affiliates; the industry is quite a long way from 'real-time', with reporting aggregated monthly across platforms, then audited and verified. In the beginning we expect to release updates monthly. The aggregation of this data will be coming from several hundred sources, and in some markets, reports will need to be created by hand.
We release the first version of numbers around the end of the month following the month of transactions. For example, we publish January revenue data at the end of February. During this time, it is still possible that the total amount may fluctuate due to partner delays or further verification requirements. We expect revenues to be accurately reported around 90 days after month close.

Help! I think my 6 year old has dyspraxia..where can I go to help?
I need help. My son shows all the signs of dyspraxia. Where do I go from here ?
Re: Help! I think my 6 year old has dyspraxia..where can I go to help?
May I ask what prompted your question in order I (or we) can best answer your query?
If you haven't alreadly been in touch, your son's school's Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO),and or The Dyspraxia Foundation may be worth engaging with.
I appreciate you will naturally compare him with his peers (as he likely will do himself) but I urge that you appreciate he's an individual as the condition displays differently dependent on myriad factors. It's important that he learns to appreciate that being different is not always a bad thing.
Thank you for your reply. My son goes to a small school and been to speech therapist and had a child Psychologist. He's been kept back a year and on the SEN register. He has a big problem keeping still, concentrating, fear of sun, textures, dressing him self, using knife and fork. He is a lovable boy but I am worried he needs more assessments which we are waiting for off the school, just feel we need to look at all angles.
You're welcome. If the following are not already being explored, you might also want to look into Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)/ Sensory integration Disorder (SID) and ADD/ADHD. Often there are overlapping conditions.
When I was little I was somewhat sickly and was dragged, quite unwillingly, to see all manner of professionals and therapists because 'I wasn't right' It had an emotional impact but I now better appreciate that my late Mum did this because she wanted to try and help. I think she tried to explain but It's likely I didn't hear/want to hear.
I wish you and your family well in getting the help and support you need and I'm sure you try to encourage him to try new things and be the 6 year old lad he wants to be.


You might think brushing gently twice a day, flossing daily, and seeing your dentist regularly make sense for good oral health.
But the health of your mouth could affect the health of your whole body. More and more evidence shows a strong association between gum disease and heart disease, stroke, diabetes, poor pregnancy outcomes, and other conditions. Some early research has even found a higher risk for certain cancers.
What could the connection be? In some cases, such as heart disease, one theory blames bacteria in the mouth. When these bacteria enter the blood stream, the theory goes, they settle on existing coronary artery plaques and help form clots in the arteries that feed your heart.
Another possibility: The chemical signals given off from the chronic inflammation caused by gum disease bacteria could directly increase atherosclerotic plaque buildup. This could also play a part in such inflammatory conditions as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic kidney disease, and some forms of cancer.
People with gum disease are almost twice as likely to have coronary artery disease as people without gum disease. The two diseases share many of the same risk factors. These include smoking, excess weight, and uncontrolled blood sugar levels among people with diabetes. In fact, the correlation is so strong that the Journal of Periodontology, which covers gum disease, and the Journal of Cardiology, focused on heart disease, teamed up to release a consensus statement addressing the issue in 2009.
The connection between diabetes and gum disease may be even stronger. Diabetes is a risk factor for worsening gum disease, and gum disease is a risk factor for worsening blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. A recent study showed that people with diabetes who have gum disease are six times more likely to have their blood sugar control worsen over time than those with diabetes but not gum disease. People with diabetes and gum disease are also at greater risk for kidney disease compared to people with diabetes who don't have gum disease.

Q: sed: remove matching line and everything after I'm trying to remove all lines after the first blank line in a file with a git filter using sed.
This seems to remove everything after the blank line
sed -i '/^$/q' test.rpt

How do I also include the blank line itself to be deleted?

A: If this is GNU sed, just use Q instead of q.
sed -i '/^$/Q' test.rpt

For BSD sed, use -n switch to suppress automatic printing, and print lines manually. E.g:
sed -n -i '/^$/q;p' test.rpt

PS: You might want to change the regex to ^[[:blank:]]*$ to regard lines of all blank characters as blank lines as well.

A: Try this:-
sed -i '/^$/,$ d' inputfile

Intelligent Headlights Make Raindrops Disappear
A camera finds individual drops, then a projector blacks them out of the driver's view.
By Colin Lecher | Published Apr 30, 2013 1:39 AM
Kyle May
Anyone who's ever driven through a heavy rain has hoped for something like this: a system that can make rain drops vanish–or at least look like they do.
Intel and Carnegie Mellon University have developed technology that makes it happen, CNET reports. Each headlight projects not just a single beam, but a grid of several tiny beams (that's how the different-colored pixels are projected on the screen when there's actually an image being shown).
A camera behind the projector watches for raindrops, and a processor predicts their paths. Then the projector blocks out just the part of the grid where the rain is falling, darkening just the pixels in its way. Presto: a rainless view.
Intel says it'll be available in a decade, and even though it's not quite perfect–some drops still look like they sneak through, at least at the top of the driver's range of vision–it seems like a major safety improvement from windshield wipers and a prayer.


I'M STAYING IN BRID, but I am getting a new companion, Sister Brown!!!! :D I'm so excited, I love that girl SO much!!! I am super stoked about staying in Brid, as SO many wonderful miracles have been happening!
Remember the story I told last week about the young man that we started teaching? He is getting baptized on Friday! He is one of the most incredible people I have ever met in my life. He loves the gospel so much and it has been wonderful to see him change his life to live like he knows he should. SO EPIC!
We went to York for P-day and that was WAY fun! The Scarborough Elders came and picked us up and we went to go see the York Minster, which was AMAZING! And then we did the Jor Vic center, which was the sights and the smells of the vikings! Haha, that was pretty legit. Just so you all know, vikings smell absolutely and horribly AWFUL!!! Sister Evans looked like she was going to be sick. Haha.
We got a TON of snow this week! It was CRAZY! And BEAUTIFUL! But the bad thing about snow is that chaves think it's incredibly funny to use us as target practice. I got so many of them thrown at me. We are currently avoiding all chaves (even the mini baby chaves) like the plague.
So, yes, that was my week. Haha, ANYWAY.

Love and survival at charity exhibition
February 14, 2011 in News
Valentine's Day seems like an appropriate time to mention an exhibition of drawings created by a cartoonist out of love for his wife.
Les Très Riches Heures de Mrs Mole, which features cartoons by Ronald Searle drawn for his wife Monica during her chemotherapy, opens at the the Cartoon Museum in London this Thursday (February 17).
In 1969 Monica was diagnosed with breast cancer and given only a few months to live, but she was offered a course of experimental chemotherapy. Searle sought some way of supporting his wife during this time. "I have only my talent for drawing," he said. "So I drew".
He produced a series of 47 drawings, one for each treatment. As Monica lay on her sick bed in Paris the drawings transported her to the world of her alter-ego, Mrs Mole, who busily potters about a dream home in a Provençal village. "I would lie in bed, living the life he created in the pictures," Monica said.
The complete 47 drawings, which were never originally intended for publication, will be on display. They follow Monica's journey from 1969 to 1975, chronicling a story of survival against the odds.
The museum will be working with Breast Cancer Campaign, Breakthrough Breast Cancer, Macmillan Cancer Support and Wellbeing of Women. Information on cancer, the work of the charities and how people can support them will be available in the gallery.
The exhibition, which was previously seen at the Foundling Museum, as reported on Bloghorn last month, runs until March 20

"over 8,000 acres of rugged cliffs"
This park features over 8,000 acres of rugged cliffs, secluded sandy beaches, coastal plains, streams, canyons, and hills, including 1,347-foot Valencia Peak. Naturalists and backpackers enjoy the solitude and freedom found along the park's trails. There are also mountain biking and equestrian trails. The best-known beach is Spooner's Cove, across from the campground. The park's name, "Mountain of Gold," comes from the golden wildflowers that bloom in spring. Wildlife in the park includes black tailed deer and the black oystercatcher. The park includes primitive and equestrian campsites. Valencia Peak Montaña De Oro is one of the largest state parks in California. Close to a million people visit Montaña De Oro each year. Marine terrace bluffs, rocky coastline and magnificent coastal mountains. "Mountain of Gold" hillsides with native plants and animals. Rich cultural and historical resources.

Go to the main parking lot.. Then keep going south til the next spot and jump over the do not enter signs. Just be VERY Careful and climb down out onto the rocks for some spectacular views!
While it is not as talked about as Big Sur, it is just as beautiful. It doesn't have the waterfalls of Big Sur, but it has beach and forest hikes. It has rock formations as well. There are numerous beaches and tidal pools. My favorite trail is the Bluff Trail which is an extremely easy and flat trail. Sometimes, you can see a collection of otters off the trail. I have also seen migrating whales, but you have to be sure to go during migration season. I would recommend this to anyone passing through San Luis Obispo or Morro Bay.

This is a beautiful place! Definitely worth the walk. It's not a tough walk, either.

We mad this stop on a bit of a whim, while driving from Santa Barbara to Cambria, CA before doing Big Sur. Such a great decision! If you're passing through this area, definitely spend a few hours here. It's a ways into the park before you get to eh main parking lot, but well worth the drive in. From the parking lot, you have a few different options. You can hike down to the beach (there was a pretty clear path, and it's definitely a regulated trail), out on the bluffs, or head up into the hills to Valencia Peak. We did all three of these things, starting with Valencia Peak. It's quite a hike, and a pretty steady grade, but if you're up for it there are some spectacular views along the coast. Unfortunately, we were there on an overcast day, but there were some moments when the fog lifted and it was breathtaking. I would love to get back here again and do some more exploring, as it appeared that there were quite a few trails. Highly recommend!

The 6 cylinder option for the Perkins 1200 Series, the 1206F gives you a complete power solution that meets EU Stage IV/U.S. Tier 4 Final emission standards. The choice of options, engine configurations and robust technology allows you to integrate the 1206 range into your equipment with minimum re-engineering.
The high power density and excellent torque in our 1206 range gives machine manufacturers the opportunity to use our 6 cylinder engine instead of a larger engine. Downsizing in this way can save you money and create more space to package new aftertreatment units. The 1206 range is an ideal engine solution for large and medium-sized machines for construction, agriculture, materials handling and general industrial applications.
The 1206 range features a consistent set of core technologies, supporting your transition from Stage IIIB/Tier 4 Interim to Stage IV/Tier 4 Final emission standards which came into force for engines 130-560 kW (175-750 hp) in January 2014. Stage IV/Tier 4 Final emissions standards for engines below 130 kW (175 hp) were introduced in the EU in October 2014 and in the U.S. in January 2015.
Like you, we believe there is no need for a trade-off between meeting emission standards and delivering on performance. The 1200 Series tackles the emissions challenge head-on and gives you improved productivity levels and fuel consumption compared to the previous generation Stage IIIB/Tier 4 Interim engines. The powerful 1206 range outperforms the competition with its improved torque of up to 1282 Nm and outstanding transient response, making it the perfect choice for customers looking for reliable power.
Your needs are our top priority, which is why we provide more tailored technology than anyone else. Working closely with OEMs, we have developed the 1206 range with hundreds of variables so that it easily fits into your machine.
Our 1206 range engines come with two year warranties as standard and can also be supported by extended service contracts.
Building on more than 80 years of experience, the 1200 Series benefits from our engineering experience and heritage. Its improved productivity and fuel consumption reduces the total cost of ownership.
Industrial technology requires Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel Fuel (ULSD, 15 ppm sulphur), in addition to ultra low sulphur diesel oils, for use In Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB engines. These cleaner fuels and oils will help reduce ash and maintain service intervals. In addition, B20 biodiesel capability adds even greater sustainability where desired or required.
Factory fitted compressors are also available.
