Who do you want to win?
Seems every Steeler fan has an opinion on this Sunday's Game - Won't watch - hope everyone gets hurt and they can't finish the game, root for division rival Baltimore to prove AFC North is the top in the league and keep SF from tieing us with 6 trophies, or rooting for SF to ensure a loss for the Ratbirds. So I wanted to see what the majority really feel. What do you think Steelers Nation - Who should we be rooting for?
Re: Who do you want to win?
anybody but the ravens, even if they were playing the cowboys
Re: Who do you want to win?
I went with the Ravens. Not because I want them to win but because I think they'll pull it off. I'll watch the game and I think it will be a good one, but when it comes down to it I'm not going to be rooting for one over the other.
Re: Who do you want to win?
I don't know, it's like Sophie's choice. I would've preferred Brady and Bill win back to back than this be the match up. I mean, if there is a positive to take away from this, it's the fact that the Ravens are losing 3 - 4 key guys next year and will be significantly weaker in 2013 than they were this year. If they win, I don't see guys like Reed or Birk coming back and if you couple that with Lewis leaving, that's a lot of key veterans leaving at the same time. We all know what it's like to lose key veterans at once without any true leadership left.
Re: Who do you want to win?
It's easy-- the Ravens.
If the 49ers win, they overtake us in SB win percentage. We would be sitting at 6-2, while the Niners would then be 6-0. If the Ravens win-- it means nothing other than the AFC North now owns 3 of the last 8 titles, and 4 of the last 8 SBs played by an AFC North team, and we still keep our 2-0 postseason record against them. |
Re: Who do you want to win?
I have to begrudgingly root for the 49ers here. I can never bring myself to root for the ravens, and I believe that if the Steelers want to remain alone on the top of the Lombardi mountain, they should go to the super bowl and win within the next couple of years rather than relying on the 49ers to lose
Re: Who do you want to win?
... Rats...
Re: Who do you want to win?
I'm not a fan of either but I think the Ravens have the better QB and team so Ithink they win another ttitle
Re: Who do you want to win?
I can not ... will not... root for Ray Lewis.
Not in a box. Not in a house. Not with a fox. Not with a knife in a limo. |
Re: Who do you want to win?
Sorry, just can't with a good conscience root for Ray Lewis and Suggs. Hate them both with a passion. And people saying Baltimore is the better team are smoking crack. 49ers D is going to kick Flacco's butt all over the place.

Deep-diving sub Alvin cleared to return to service
January 28, 2014 11:44 am | News | CommentsAfter a three-year overhaul and major upgrade, the United States' deepest-diving research submersible, Alvin, has been cleared to return to work exploring the ocean's depths. The sub has been out of service since December 2010, undergoing a major upgrade, including the replacement of its personnel sphere with a newly fabricated, larger, more capable hull.
Is there an ocean beneath our feet?
January 27, 2014 9:42 am | News | CommentsScientists at the Univ. of Liverpool have shown that deep sea fault zones could transport much larger amounts of water from the Earth's oceans to the upper mantle than previously thought. They have estimated that over the age of the Earth, the Japan subduction zone alone could transport the equivalent of up to three and a half times the water of all the Earth's oceans to its mantle.
Scientists to study Pacific Ocean's "global chimney"
January 8, 2014 11:42 am | News | CommentsAlthough few people live in the Western tropical Pacific Ocean region, the remote waters there affect billions of people by shaping climate and air chemistry worldwide. Next week, scientists will head to the region to better understand its influence on the atmosphere—including how that influence may change in coming decades if storms over the Pacific become more powerful with rising global temperatures.
The ocean's hidden waves show their power
January 8, 2014 7:52 am | by David L. Chandler, MIT News Office | Videos | CommentsTheir effect on the surface of the ocean is negligible, producing a rise of just inches that is virtually imperceptible on a turbulent sea. But internal waves, which are hidden entirely within the ocean, can tower hundreds of feet, with profound effects on the Earth's climate and on ocean ecosystems.
Indonesia cave reveals history of ancient tsunamis
December 27, 2013 10:19 am | by Margie Mason, Associated Press | News | CommentsA cave discovered near the source of Indonesia's massive earthquake-spawned tsunami contains the footprints of past gigantic waves dating up to 7,500 years ago, a rare natural record that suggests the next disaster could be centuries away, or perhaps only decades. The findings provide the longest and most detailed timeline for tsunamis that have occurred off the far western tip of Sumatra island, where deadly 100-ft waves struck in 2004.
Change in Pacific nitrogen content tied to climate change
December 17, 2013 2:40 pm | by Anne M. Stark, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory | News | CommentsUsing a new isotope technique and deep sea corals gathered near the Hawaiian Islands, a Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientist, in collaboration with Univ. of California Santa Cruz colleagues, has determined that a long-term shift in nitrogen content in the Pacific Ocean has occurred as a result of climate change. This shift is similar to major paleoceanographic transitions in the sedimentary record.
Navy expands sonar testing despite troubling signs
December 16, 2013 9:28 am | by Alicia Chang and Julie Watson, Associated Press Writers | News | CommentsThe U.S. Navy plans to increase sonar testing over the next five years, even as research it funded reveals worrying signs that the loud underwater noise could disturb whales and dolphins. Two recent studies off the Southern California coast found certain endangered whales stopped feeding and fled from recordings of sounds similar to military sonar. This was surprising because scientists thought they were immune to the high-pitched sounds.
Homing in on stressed coral
December 13, 2013 2:14 pm | by Denise Brehm, Civil and Environmental Engineering MIT | News | CommentsCoral reefs, the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world's oceans, provide safe harbor for fish and organisms of many sizes that make homes among the branches, nooks and crannies of the tree-like coral. But reefs are declining because of disease and bleaching, conditions exacerbated by rising ocean temperatures.
The heat pump in Europa's ocean
December 11, 2013 2:00 pm | News | CommentsJupiter's moon Europa features an intricate network of cracks in its icy surface. This unusual pattern is particularly pronounced around the equator. Scientists performing modeling studies on the potential marine currents below this ice layer have discovered that, near Europa's equator, warmer water rises from deep within the moon.
Study: Ocean crust lavas could store many centuries of industrial carbon dioxide
December 4, 2013 10:54 am | News | CommentsAt high pressures and low temperatures, such as those in the deep oceans, carbon dioxide occurs as a liquid that is denser than seawater. Researchers in England have identified regions beneath the oceans where the igneous rocks of the upper ocean crust could safely store very large volumes of carbon dioxide.
Methane-munching microorganisms meddle with metal
November 11, 2013 2:46 pm | News | CommentsMethane hydrates are a potential energy source, but they are also a potential source of global warming. A pair of cooperating microbes on the ocean floor "eats" this methane in a unique way, and a new study provides insights into their surprising nutritional requirements. Learning how these methane-munching organisms exist in extreme environments could provide clues about how the deep-sea environment might change in a warming world.
Physicists provide new insights into coral skeleton formation
October 30, 2013 8:31 am | News | CommentsResearchers using transmission electron microscopy have examined the smallest building block of coral that can be identified: sphemlites. These studies have revealed three distinct regions whose formation could be directly correlated to the time of day. These findings could help scientists and environmentalists working to protect and conserve coral from the threats of acidification and rising water temperatures.
How climate change affects microbial life below the seafloor
October 22, 2013 4:21 pm | News | CommentsFor more a decade scientists have investigated microbial life under the seafloor off the coast of Peru. Traces of past microbial life in sediments reveal how these ecosystems have responded to climate change over hundreds of thousands of years. Little is known about how the "deep biosphere" developed over millennia and how microbial life influences the cycling of carbon in the oceans.
Calif. finds more instances of offshore fracking
October 21, 2013 7:56 am | by Alicia Chang and Jason Dearen, Associated Press | News | CommentsIn waters off Long Beach, Seal Beach and Huntington Beach—some of the region's most popular surfing strands and tourist attractions—oil companies have used fracking at least 203 times at six sites in the past two decades. This discovery made from drilling records and interviews shows that offshore fracking is more widespread and frequent that state officials believed.
Study: Climate change will wreak havoc on oceans by 2100
October 17, 2013 8:14 am | News | CommentsA new study looking at the impacts of climate change on the world's ocean systems concludes that by the year 2100, about 98% of the oceans will be affected by acidification, warming temperatures, low oxygen or lack of biological productivity. These biogeochemical changes triggered by greenhouse gas emissions will not only affect marine habitats and organisms, but will often co-occur in areas that are heavily used by humans.
Stanford drones open way to new world of coral research
October 16, 2013 2:43 pm | by Rob Jordan, Stanford Univ. | News | CommentsScientists still know relatively little about the world's biggest corals, where they are and how long they have lived. Camera-equipped flying robots which have the ability to film these corals from the air promise new insights into climate change effects on important ecosystems.
Giant channels discovered beneath Antarctic ice shelf
October 7, 2013 2:38 am | News | CommentsScientists have discovered huge ice channels beneath a floating ice shelf in Antarctica. At 250 m high, the channels are almost as tall as the Eiffel tower and stretch hundreds of kilometers along the ice shelf. The channels are likely to influence the stability of the ice shelf and their discovery will help researchers understand how the ice will respond to changing environmental conditions.
Study: Carbon dioxide-hungry microbes could short-circuit marine foodweb
September 13, 2013 12:28 pm | News | CommentsDo the smallest plankton organisms determine the future of the ocean? A five-week long field experiment shows that pico- and nanophytoplankton benefit from higher carbon dioxide concentrations in the water, causing an imbalance in the food web. In addition, the carbon export to the deep ocean and the production of the climate-cooling gas dimethyl sulfide are diminished—two important functions for the global climate.
Microgels in tiny polar ice algae important to ocean carbon budgets
September 12, 2013 8:04 am | by Peter Bondo Christensen and Christina Troelsen, Aarhus Univ. | News | CommentsSecretion of polysaccharides from the micro community living within the sea ice stick organism together and forms greater particles introducing a rapid transport of carbon to the seafloor. New research now makes it possible to forecast the importance for the global carbon budget of this transport.
Solar boat reaches Paris after crossing Atlantic
September 12, 2013 7:53 am | by Greg Keller, Associated Press | News | CommentsThe world's largest solar-powered boat has docked on the banks of the Seine River, its final port of call after a three-month voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to study how the Gulf Stream and climate change could influence each other. Starting from Miami, Univ. of Geneva scientists sailed across the Atlantic, taking water and air measurements that should allow them to better understand the interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere.
Scientists confirm existence of largest single volcano on Earth
September 6, 2013 9:25 am | News | CommentsA Univ. of Houston professor led a team of scientists to uncover the largest single volcano yet documented on Earth. Covering an area roughly equivalent to the British Isles or the state of New Mexico, this volcano, dubbed the Tamu Massif, is nearly as big as the giant volcanoes of Mars, placing it among the largest in the Solar System.
Arctic sea ice: Unlikely to break records, but downward trend continues
August 27, 2013 3:14 pm | by Maria-José Viñas, NASA's Earth Science News Team | News | CommentsThe melting of sea ice in the Arctic is well on its way toward its annual "minimum," that time when the floating ice cap covers less of the Arctic Ocean than at any other period during the year. While the ice will continue to shrink until around mid-September, it is unlikely that this year's summer low will break a new record. Still, this year's melt rates are in line with the sustained decline of the Arctic ice cover.
Scientists analyze the extent of ocean acidification
August 26, 2013 8:11 am | News | CommentsIn a new study, biologists have compiled and analyzed all available data on the reaction of marine animals to ocean acidification. From this collection of 167 studies with data from more than 150 different species, they found that while the majority of animal species investigated are affected by ocean acidification, the respective impacts are specific and can vary widely from species to species.
Gulf "dead zone" above average but not near record
July 31, 2013 8:02 am | by Janet McConnaughey, Associated Press | News | CommentsThis summer's "dead zone" at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, where there's so little oxygen that starfish suffocate, is bigger than average but doesn't approach record size as scientists had predicted, according to findings released this week. The area of low oxygen covers 5,840 square miles of the Gulf floor—roughly the size of Connecticut.
Study finds source of oil sheens near Deepwater Horizon site
July 17, 2013 11:03 am | News | CommentsFirst reported to the U.S. Coast Guard by multinational oil and gas company BP in September 2012, newly found oil sheens raised public concern that the Macondo well, which was capped in July 2010, might be leaking. A chemical analysis now shows the source of oil sheens floating at the ocean's surface near the site of the Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Horizon oil spill is pockets of oil trapped within the wreckage of the sunken rig.

Poppy Delevingne Reveals Her Next Move
Poppy Delevingne says she's not only ready to make a career change, but she's also leaving the UK to do it. "I'm off to Hollywood to try my luck as an actress," the model — and recently engaged sister of fellow Burberry face Cara — recently told the Daily Mail. "I've always wanted to be in films and I'm not sure I can stay a model forever."
And though Delevingne is definitely not the first model to make the switch to acting, she does already have a little experience under her belt. In 2000 she played the lead in the romantic short Perfect, and more recently in 2009, she had a small part in the Philip Seymour Hoffman period comedy Pirate Radio.
A look back at some of our favorite Delevingne modeling moments here, in the gallery.

I bought this because I can no longer carry heavy totes and purses that hang off my shoulders. This is a perfect size for all the stuff I carry to work and back. The tote itself is lightweight, which makes it easy to handle. The extra zipper pocket is handy. The handle locks in place in 3 positions - down halfway and fully extended. I love the purple color of the one I bought. This has really helped me out, I think I may get another one for carrying laundry back and forth from my mom's nursing home.
I go through one of these rolling totes in less than a year, and have ordered at least 4 different ones from Overstock. (They are loaded and dragged over uneven sidewalks to and from the bus or train every work day.) This one didn't last as long as the others. The telescoping handle started malfunctioning and became difficult to extend and collapse. The bag would never stand upright on its own like the other bags I have used and this was a constand frustration. Although it was a nice looking bag, it was functionally the worst one of all.
Color and quality of this bag is great and very affordable.
I thought this would hold a 14 inch craft tray flat so I could stack them. But they didn't fit. The handle posed problems inside because it took up some of the room. Overall I would not purchase again without seeing.
very sturdy the color looks excellent I think I made a good choice

Macquarie Telecom gives earnings upgrade
PUBLISHED: 31 Jul 2012 14:01:08 | UPDATED: 01 Aug 2012 06:08:54PUBLISHED: 31 Jul 2012 PRINT EDITION: 01 Aug 2012David Ramli
Sydney-based telecommunications firm Macquarie Telecom has begun switching on its new data centre and upgraded its earnings forecast.
The company previously forecast 2012 financial year earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation of between $36 million and $38 million but is now predicting EBITDA will hit $40.6 million, based on unaudited accounts.
The news helped Macquarie Telecom's share price rise from its Monday close of $8.20 a share to $8.80 per share at 1pm on Tuesday.
Chief executive David Tudehope said this was largely due to increasing demand for hosting services as more companies chose to outsource their technology systems instead of keeping them in-house.
He said Macquarie Telecom's experience in the market was a key reason why it was winning deals when many of its rivals were often little more than "blocks of land that are yet to be developed".
While Brisbane-based competitor NextDC is set to launch several new facilities in a range of capital cities, Mr Tudehope said its Sydney data centre was some way away.
"We've got to market a long way ahead of [rival provider NextDC] and I think there is demand at the top end of the market," he said. "There are real challenges to data centres, it's not just a matter of funding and construction because it's also about running it and we've got 11 years experience running them."
Mr Tudehope also said that the revenue and cost of running Intellicentre 2 would not kick in until the next financial year.
"There'll be a formal opening later but the commissioning of the plant is the key thing, which is making sure all the mechanical and electrical stuff is working," he said. "We have News Corp moving in now ... and we have other clients we've signed up."

Land mafia from outside Kerala has been purchasing farm lands for non-farming purposes across the State since 2000 and it was high time the government checked this negative trend through legislation, KPCC president Ramesh Chennithala has said.
Mr. Chennithala who toured the district with the KPCC political campaign, Kerala Yatra, was addressing a press conference at Thiruvalla on Saturday.
The KPCC president said diversion of agriculture land for non-farming purposes should not be permitted. However, setting up of environment-friendly industries and other projects was the need of the hour in order to address the State's development issues as well as unemployment problems.
On the controversial private airport project at Aranmula that required conversion of a vast expanse of the biodiversity-rich wetland and paddy land, Mr Chennithala said the government will look into such matters. He said the UDF government did not have any 'environmental fundamentalism.' However, the KPCC chief was evasive when it was pointed out to him the contradiction in his earlier statement on use of farm land for non-agriculture purposes with the stand taken by the UDF government on the Aranmula airport project.
The Kerala Yatra received rousing receptions at Thiruvalla, Kozhencherry, Konni, Ranni, and Adoor.

In honor of this sorry, low down, good for-nothin yellow bellied son of a sapsucker rainy day, enjoy some found clothing umbrellas by MK Guth. Thinking about taking these out for hellstorm protection just makes me think of the smell of mold, dog, and heavy wet socks. Still, I like their bright, cheery plays on the umbrella form, that are half Mary Poppins, half fortress.
Josef Schulz
Photographer Josef Schulz's new series entitled "Sign out" focuses on a great variety of billboards in their natural habitats (a billboard tour one could say) during his travels in the States. He has "freed" the large-scale ads of their functions, thereby breaking off all communication and "signing out". Removed of their contexts, all that's left are pleasant forms and even more beautiful colors against their blue-sky canvases.

After a full day at the studio last Saturday I popped into the opening for Default State Network, a new show opening at Raid Projects curated by NYC based artist Ryan Wallace. I'm always a fan of artist curated shows and DSN does not disappoint with a great mix of painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture that will excite anyone looking for a mix of craft and concept.
The show features young and upcoming artists Alex Dodge, Chris Duncan, Elise Ferguson, Glen Baldridge, Will Yackulic, Joseph Hart, Andrew Schoultz, Leslie Shows, and Ryan Wallace himself. The Alex Dodge sculpture (detail pictured above) was by far my favorite work being playful and erie at once. DNS will be up until February 27th so make sure to stop by and check it out if you're in the LA area.
Kevin Hayes
Kevin Hayes is a Los Angeles based photographer with some really interesting and compelling imagery. What I find most interesting about his work it's the way he captures and unveils the many characters in the photographs. Playing with the muted colors, lighting and backgrounds there's is the sensation that time has stopped and a tension of what would have happened next after the shot was taken.
"Thingamajigs" Exhibition
The upcoming exhibition Thingamajigs, curated by Meenakshi Thirukode brings together individuals whose creative practice cannot be categorized under traditional tags. The show features a plethora of artists who push the boundaries of their practice, including prior B/D featured experimental group Lucky Dragons, B/D staff writer Colleen Asper, and B/D's own Amir H. Fallah! A bevvy of Beautiful/Decay articles of history and memorabilia (including some of the first ever, hand-photocopied 'zine versions) will be on display, alongside Amir's painting. If you find yourself on a spiritual or artistic journey to India, be sure to check out this exhibition at Gallery Open Eye Dreams.
Richard Hughes
Richard Hughes is an artist living and working in London. Although there hasn't been any recent work from him, one of my favorite pieces would have to be Loveseat, 2005. From 2003 to 2008, he has produced a variety of works that one way or another seem to address this methodical juxtaposition between urban decadence of objects and organic matter.
Sculptures of Dreams
Ilan Lieberman creates sculptures and artwork based on visions he sees in his dreams. I'm fascinated by the other realm that lays just beyond our own eyelids, and how Ilan transports objects and ideas from this dimension into ours…it's like peeking into someone else's mind. Ilan recently opened his exhibition this last weekend at Steve Turner Contemporary, so if you are in the area be sure to check it out.

Web-safety lessons from teachers and 12-year-olds
Virginia schools are the first to mandate Internet safety classes. But are kids listening?
One of the hardest things to do when you're a parent is to teach your kids to be safe. Parents, of course, talk to their kids about safety all the time. But do the youngsters listen? My wife and I often joke that we need to carry tape recorders around so that we can play and replay our safety warnings – maybe then we wouldn't have to endlessly repeat the advice ourselves.
And when you're dealing with Internet safety, it can be even harder. The dangers online don't seem all that dangerous when you're 8 or 9, let alone when you're 15 and you think you're invincible. After all, it's just a computer – no one can hurt you, right? And many parents don't know as much about the Internet as their kids do.
But the danger is there, and the biggest fear online is sexual predators. A 2006 study by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children reported that about 13 percent of Internet users ages 10 to 17 received unwanted sexual solicitations. Teens were by far the biggest target – 90 percent of the solicitations. And about 4 percent said they were asked for nude photos of themselves.
So, once again, we turn to our schools to pick up the slack. And in Virginia that means mandatory Internet safety for all students in all grades. Virginia is not the only state doing this; Texas and Illinois are also teaching online safety to students, although as of this school year, Virginia is the only state where it's a mandate.

XP doesn't need it.
But something you may have loaded on your computer does.
If you uninstall it, when you try to run the program that needs it, you'll get an error message referring back to it.

Great story -- love this guy ! -- Bru is the man. http://thetrack.bostonherald.com/moreTrack/view.bg?articleid=146926
Love it! And I love his attitude. On a team of selfless players, Tedy Bruschi may be the most selfless of them all.
I love that Tedy told him to put his fingerprints on the trophy "so we know you were here." Very sweet.
Bruschi is pure class.......like most of the Pats players. I remember reading one article about Tom Brady and a youngster that made me get teary eyed, and of course Charlie Weiss' Notre Dame story running a play called by someone who was dying from cancer. Sometimes people forget the personal side of football, and think that all of these warriors are just money hungry bums. Growing up in NYC, I'll never forget the day Joe Namath was kind enough to throw the ball to me as a youngster (after a practice where he probably threw 200 passes), most of the players in the NFL are very calssy people.
Beats a trip to Disney any day!! PS... If you'd like to hear Tedy's speech at RI Italian American Hall of Fame awards, check out the lastest podcast... (He's on at about 14:00) You can listen right on the site with the pupu player (streaming audio) with the popup window while you do other things... (Better yet, subscribe now if you don't want to miss any training camp podcasts!!) www.patriotworldpodcast.com
Mrs B's training camp podcasts........aaahhhhh, yes! One of the great things in life - Right up there with three day weekends, the NFL Network and (real) rum raisin ice cream.
"Put your hands on them and leave your fingerprints so we'll know you were here" Man, how fortunate we are to have Bruschi. I wasn't much older than that kid when I first heard about Bruschi at ASU. I had only read about his record-breaking sack numbers and yet couldn't understand why he wasn't considered to be pre-ordained for NFL superstardom. Now that I understand things a little better and have the luxury of hindsight, I still don't have an answer to that. The heart is a mysterious creature. As fast and as hard as it must have been beating that day, that little boy's heart has all my own's best, as does #54.

I'm new to cc and getting a little impatient as I'm now going into week nine for my permit to come back. My plan is a Ruger Mark ll or lll to get the family involved and then perhaps a PM9.
Looking forward to gathering lots of information in my learning process.

So I'm going to go a little more serious with my cut and dialing back the fat a bit more to save calories. I purchased like 10lbs of chicken breast to help with this. Is there a way to make these not taste/feel like dry sock in my mouth? I've been giving them 5 min. frying on each side and I feel like this will get old quick.
If you cook them to 145, they should not be dry. I often bake whole chicken breasts in a low (~250F) oven until my probe thermometer registers 145. If they are still dry, you can try brining them, but all chicken I've gotten from the grocery store has been pre-brined (can't wait to get some fresh chicken from a farm).
Also, a good flavor combo that I used recently on chicken breast is chili powder, garlic, and lime. You could also put curry seasoning on them. The possibilities are endless since chicken breast is basically a blank canvas.
poaching in stock and spices. I know some of this, espescially if you go for soy and make a master stock, is not primal, but only a very limited amount would actually infuse the breast. try googling poached chicken recipes.
Pity you bought breasts, cooking with the bones is so much tastier, even if it is fiddlier ti deconstruct later.
Hm poaching might help me finish off the miso in my fridge. Thanks for the idea.
js: I know that it does, but this is for my workout days right after training, and I'm trying to keep fat pretty low compared to in the past where I'd consume 100/150/150 right after working out.
I quite often like to make chicken kebabs with chicken breast cut into strips, and put in a marinade of the juice of a lime, a stick of lemongrass chopped finely, a couple of cloves of crushed garlic, about an inch of fresh ginger (which I peel and put through the garlic crusher, too - works a treat) and a bit of olive oil. Make sure it's all covered, then cover and put in the fridge for 30 mins or so, thread on to the kebab sticks and grill until cooked through. Delicious with a tangy salad or on a bed of cauliflower rice with chopped coriander/cilantro leaves mixed through it. This works really well with prawns/shrimp, too, by the way.
If you're not hungry after working out, don't eat. However, if you're trying for some optimal protein timing, then just have an egg. It doesn't take that much protein to keep protein synthesis going. Meal timing for protein synthesis may be more important for older people than for younger people.
I put about a tsp of ghee and EVOO ea in a TFAL skillet, heat on med for a couple of mins, take 2-3 breasts, thawed and pat very dry w/paper towel, rub thoroughly with org black pepper, onion & garlic powder, put in pan and let brown a bit, (turn up heat just a little once breasts are in) brown for about 2-3 minutes on each side, pour about a tsp each of org soy sauce on each breast, cover pan and turn down heat to low, cook about 15 mins while you prepare a salad and set table.. When time is nearly up, put a few handfuls of org baby spinach on top of chicken, put lid back on top for a couple of mins, spinach will wilt and add some fabulous moisture to pan, take lid off and turn up heat until liquid is rich, turn breasts over while sauce thickens. Grate some parm over spinach - absolutely delish.
if you want to go specifically low fat for a meal with chicken breast, you can add pico de gallo (finely diced tomato, onion and cilantro) on top, or actual salsa, or just lemon/lime juice. personally, i think you can dial back on the fat content, while still cooking with fat. i would cook them suckers in butter or something. just don't go ridiculous 'i never eat carbs' style.

We talk
and there remains
a tension, friction
of what we
once meant
to each other.
More in common
now than then –
We share
two children,
four grandchildren -
a silver chain of being
links us still -
Regrets obvious
as we talk
the children watch –
shocked by the lack of
Did we really hate
each other so much? Or,
was it more about
how deeply
we hated ourselves?
Oil and water
from two different worlds –
Shared stubbornness
our greatest commonality.
Married once, in love
with the idea of
each other — the cold reality,
that we were just children
haunts me still.
We're growing older
and it is easier
to talk about
what we never were,
things we tried to be,
all we had to kill.
That mutual cold death
of ending
that set us free.

I won't pretend to remember every animal or even species we saw every day, especially when it comes to birds, but here's at least a partial look at our first afternoon of wildlife viewing.
Let's just say I'm really glad I'm short and leave it at that, because I can't imagine being tall and taking such a long flight in such a small seat. But as with all amazing journeys – and trust me, this trip was the very definition of amazing – all the rigors of travel were forgotten when we landed at last at Kilimanjaro International Airport in Arusha, Tanzania. Just the words sound magical, and that's another very accurate way to describe our trip, as you'll see.
I'm a telecommuter, so I was just sitting here at home, eating my lunch and working on a manuscript, when the phone rang. My memories of the call are kind of fuzzy, because I was so stunned that my brain pretty much switched off for a while there.
Hello, fellow AWF members and wildlife enthusiasts. I want to start by thanking you for reading along with me as I blog about the amazing trip I'll be taking thanks to AWF's generosity and the kind of luck that strikes once in a lifetime (if it strikes at all).
Living in a tropical climate means that it is sometimes difficult to distinguish one part of the year from another. The clues - more rain or less rain - are more subtle than more temperate climates. However, you know it is June when talk of the town is Kwita Izina, or the annual gorilla-naming ceremony held in Rwanda.

Responding to pressure from lawmakers, parents and school leaders statewide, Education Commissioner Robert Scott announced today that the Texas Education Agency will defer a rule requiring that new student assessments count for 15 percent of students' final grades.
In a statement, Scott said that he decided to delay the rule for a year after receiving statutory clarification from state leaders on the agency's authority to postpone the policy. "I remain committed to public school accountability," he wrote. "The new assessment system will be better for students and educators and will better ensure Texas students are ready for postsecondary success."
