Company controls costs, targets diversified opportunities
Most 90-year-olds would be well into retirement, but Raytheon Co., which celebrates nine decades as a contractor in July, is far from slowing down. Tightening government budgets failed to faze the company in 2011, a year that saw net income rise to $1.896 billion from $1.879 billion in 2010.
2012 Top 100 rankings
Can the top dogs hunt?
Commentary: No sitting ducks here
Inside the success of the Top 100 resellers
Top 100 Index
Top 100 methodology
For example, at the end of last year, the Missile Defense Agency tapped Raytheon to provide two Army Navy/Transportable Radar Surveillance (AN/TPY-2) radars to the Army in a contract worth $363.9 million. The radars can distinguish between friend and foe to ensure a more accurate response.
The missile agency also awarded the company a $241 million contract for engineering design and development work on the Standard Missile-3 Block IIA, used on sea-based carriers to defend against ballistic missile threats.
With $5.7 billion in prime contracts in 2011, Raytheon earned the No. 5 spot on this year's Top 100.
Besides winning contracts, Brian Seagrave, Raytheon's vice president of homeland security, also credits the company's success to its active stance on emerging technologies and needs, keeping customers happy through internal streamlining efforts, and a diverse portfolio.
He named cybersecurity, electronic warfare and big data analytics as growth areas for the company as threats move from physical targets to cyber ones.
Raytheon's acquisitions last year of cybersecurity firms Henggeler Computer Consultants Inc., of Columbia, Md., and Alabama-based Pikewerks Corp. illustrate that point. Raytheon's electronic warfare business booked $50 million in new contract awards in December alone.
"That is where much of the threat is going globally," Seagrave said. "We call it the advanced persistent threat, the threat of malware infiltrating past your firewall, … through insiders or accidents – employees that accidentally click on a link that they shouldn't have clicked on when it was attached to a phishing e-mail."
But providing ahead-of-the-curve technology is worth only so much in a tight economic environment. Rather than cut corners on its products, the company implemented two programs to keep internal costs down to pass savings to customers. One involves enterprise resource planning systems that integrate finances, supply-chain contracts, resources and process companywide. The other is a Six Sigma program that turns tiny operational improvements into big savings and quality boosts when added together.
"This is work that we have stuck with and are just constantly turning the screw for continuous improvement and finding where we are able to integrate the supply-chain work across quite diverse programs in order to get costs down for customers," Seagrave said.
With more than 8,000 programs and 15,000 contracts, Raytheon's sheer size helps it maintain an edge. "We have such a broad portfolio that we have capabilities that are matching what customers are buying," Seagrave said. "Second, we are focused both domestically and internationally. We have quite a substantial portion of our sales that are international and growing, so that we're diversity in our portfolio and in our customers."
The 1.2 percent drop in revenue that Raytheon experienced this year is of little concern, said Patrick McCarthy, managing director at FBR Capital Markets & Co.
"Earnings have been under pressure, but they've largely been under pressure because of the pension fund and the funding requirements related to the pension fund. But if you look at 2013, you start to see a pretty decent reversal of those pension obligations or the pension expense," McCarthy said. "Our expectation is that Raytheon next year will have earnings that are better than this year."

Risk/Benefit Assessment Checklist
Federal regulations, based on the ethical principle of beneficence, require that risksassociated with research are reasonable in relation to the anticipated benefits. Subjects must be informed about the potential risks of a study.
To use the checklist for assessing risk, begin with the federal regulatory definition of minimal risk. Onceyou have completed the checklist, refer to the type of IRB review your research will require.
When assessing risk, bear in mind there are five major types of risk:
Definition of minimal risk: Minimal risk means that the probability and magnitude of harm or discomfortanticipated in the research are not greater in and of themselves than those ordinarily encountered in dailylife or during the performance of routine physical or psychological examinations or tests (45 CFR 46.102(h) (i)).
Risk Categories
Check the appropriate risk category of your research:
a. ___The risk(s) represents a minor increase over minimal risk, or b. ___The risk(s) represents more than a minor increase over minimal risk, or c. ___The risk(s) represents a major increase over minimal risk.
Definition of benefit: A research benefit is considered to be something of a health-related, psychosocial,or other value to an individual research subject, or something that will contribute to the acquisition ofgeneralizable knowledge. Money or other compensation for participating in research is not consideredto be a benefit. A great deal of research in the social and behavioral sciences offers little potentialfor direct benefits to the subjects themselves. Rather, the benefits often encompass the importanceof the knowledge to be gained, and/or to the contributions the research makes to science or society.
Benefits Categories
Check the appropriate benefits category (ies) of your research:
If you checked numbers 1 or 2 under Risks Categories, and numbers 1, 2, or 3, in the Benefits Categories,your protocol will generally be reviewed as Exempt unless the research involves one of the categories ofvulnerable subjects; refer to children, prisoners, mentally disabled persons, economically or educationallydisadvantaged persons, pregnant women, fetuses and neonates.If you checked number 3.a or 3.b under Risks Categories, and numbers 1, 2, or 3, in theBenefits Categories, your protocol will be reviewed as Expedited or require a full-board review.If you checked number 3.c under Risks Categories, and/or number 4, in the Benefits Categories,your protocol will not receive IRB approval, and you will be unable to conduct your research.

The Dallas Cowboys are a professional American football franchise that plays in the Eastern Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) of theNational Football League (NFL). They are headquartered in Valley Ranch in Irving, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. The team plays its home games at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, within the Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area, which finished construction in time for the 2009 season.[1] The Cowboys joined the NFL as a 1960 expansion team.[2] The team's national following might best be represented by its NFL record of consecutive home sell-outs. The Cowboys' streak of 160 sold-out regular and post-season games began in 1990, and included 79 straight sellouts at their former home, Texas Stadium, and 81 straight sell-outs on the road.[3] The franchise shares the record for most Super Bowl appearances (8) with the Pittsburgh Steelers, corresponding to most NFC championships (8).[4] The Cowboys are the only NFL team to record 20 consecutive winning seasons (1966–1985), in which they only missed the playoffs twice (1974 and 1984), an NFL record that remains unchallenged.
An article from Forbes Magazine, dated September 2, 2009, lists the Cowboys as the highest valued sports franchise in the history of the United States, and second in the world (behind Manchester United of the English Premier League), with an estimated value of approximately $1.65 billion.[5] They are also the wealthiest team in the NFL, generating almost $269 million in annual revenue.[6].

By Judy Malone
August 2005 -- The Montana State University (MSU) Wool Lab has been serving the needs of the sheep producers in that state for more than 60 years. Established by the growers of Montana to serve the sheep industry, the laboratory?s primary functions include research, service and education. It has proven to be instrumental in improving Montana?s wool quality and continues to educate growers and students on the economical and environmental benefits of sheep.
The MSU lab is one of only four research wool labs remaining in the United States. In addition to research, projects associated with objective measurement and quality improvement of wool is conducted. This laboratory also collaborates with scientists and growers throughout the United States regarding the aspects of wool in their respective research activities.
To help meet the primary goal of education, the lab is outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment. Of particular importance is the fully-portable Optical Fiber Diameter Analyzer (OFDA2000). This computerized instrument quickly and accurately measures fiber diameter along the total length of greasy-wool staples. It is done in real time, on the farm or ranch, and can be used in shearing sheds and sheep yards. This technology means that wool?s most important processing qualities and characteristics can now be identified and measured at the time of shearing, providing immediate, critical information necessary to the producer for the sorting of the fleeces.
This machine, the OFDA2000, is one-of-five purchased by the American Sheep Industry Association (ASI) as part of its continuing raw-wool, quality-improvement program. The machines were strategically placed in university settings and warehouses across the country where they could be best utilized by all segments of the industry.
This equipment assists producers in understanding the levels of preparation, management and genetic programs needed to achieve industry benchmark standards for wool quality and for the marketing of wool. The data is also critical to the grower in determining future breeding programs and flock management.
MSU research associate and wool lab superintendent, Virginia Nollmeyer, frequently takes the OFDA2000 out to growers during shearing time, who have an interest in obtaining a better understanding of their clip. With this valuable data, growers have the ability to target specific markets or buyers for their wool.
"In-field use of the OFDA2000 at shearing time has proven to show immediate and short-term financial benefits to the grower by allowing them to class the wool into very specific lines based on fiber diameter,? comments Nollmeyer. "However, a larger benefit is realized when growers use the OFDA2000 information in their breeding and selection programs, as these genetic changes tend to be permanent and impact future wool production in their flocks."
The U.S. military is an important and critical market for the U.S. wool industry. It is the largest, single domestic consumer of the U.S. wool clip, consuming up to 25 percent of the annual crop. However, there is concern about the industry?s ability to supply the specific needs of this market.
Because of these concerns, Scott Gaumont, program manager for Cold Weather Clothing at the Soldier Systems Center, Natick, Mass., made a visit to the MSU wool lab to improve his understanding of the U.S. wool industry and to expose himself to the technology available to producers in the industry when they choose to be a part of these wool programs.
According to Gaumont, ?The objectives of this trip were two-fold: 1) to obtain a better understanding of the wool industry and 2) to be assured that the U.S. industry has the capability of supplying the military with their wool needs.?
Rodney Kott, Ph.D., extension sheep specialist at the MSU wool lab understands the validity of these concerns. He explained that when the Wool Act funding ended, there were a number of years that the industry lacked structure and direction; hence, the ability to continue quality programs was put at risk.
?However, in the last three years, ASI has worked hard to restructure and rejuvenate the wool programs to enhance markets for U.S. wool both domestically and internationally.
These new programs have contributed to what I believe to be a bright future for the U.S. wool industry,? commends Kott.
Like the MSU wool lab, one of the elements of the ASI program is producer education. If we are going to be able to supply the military with a specific type of wool, growers must know the demand exists and be given the tools to develop and grow this product. In just a few short years, producers have been progressive in developing quality clips of certain types of wool in large quantities.
In the past, there was little price differences between micron categories and prices were relatively flat and close together for all microns. However, as the military is looking at using wool in specific products, the need for consistency in fiber diameter is increased and growers will see financial advantages by sorting wool according to diameter.
The garment that the military is looking to supply to its troops will determine the specifications throughout the supply chain. In order to get to that product, it is important to work backwards through the system. The finishers will require a certain quality product from the top-makers who will, in turn, communicate the specifications to the warehouses and producers. In the end, the producer is asked to grow the type of wool clip that will make possible the end-product for the military.
?Through this visit, both of my objectives were more than sufficiently met. Knowing that producers have access to detailed data regarding their wool, like the kinds of information the OFDA2000 supplies, I am confident that the American producer can provide the U.S. military with the specific type of wool it desires to achieve the objective,? concludes Gaumont.
It is vitally important to the U.S. sheep industry to be able to fill the wool needs of the military. The industry has an infrastructure in place that provides the ability to fulfill all of the military requirements.
?We struggled for several years to be able to say that our infrastructure was such that we could supply the wool that the buyer desired. Through continued efforts at all levels of the industry, from the producer to the warehouses and ASI, that infrastructure has been built and we can say with confidence that the American sheep producer can provide the wool that is needed by the military,? concludes Kott.

Wait for new iMac or get MacBook Pro + display now?
Here's a question for anyone who is knowledgeable in the subject...
We are in need of a new Mac computer at work to deal with a HUGE amount of Photoshopping and also a 3D Model imaging project we are about to start. So I am tasked with doing the research on whether to get a new iMac (when they are available), or a Macbook Pro + display now. We need the graphics card to have 1GB VRAM and CUDA support to run the 3D modelling software effectively, so it seems like the higher end iMacs and Macbooks have this. Question is, how would a Macbook Pro (high end 15" model) run the 3D modelling software, and would hooking it up to a Thunderbolt display or similar slow down the capabilities of the graphics card as it will be half focussed on running the screen? Or should we be waiting for the new iMac 27" high end machine? |

definitely wait... if your budget allows for a macbook pro + display, then you could just as easily get a maxed out iMac with 2GB GPU, 3.4ghz i7, 32GB ram (aftermarket of course) and maybe even the 768GB SSD

Nov 21, 2012, 10:58 AM | #5 |
The main question to my mind would be how long you can wait? Given that you say you are 'in need' of a Mac for these things, what would be the impact of not having them immediately? Does it mean you can't start the work or that it will take longer. Would that put revenue from those projects at risk?
Bear in mind that none of us know when the iMac is going to be available. The only thing we know is that Tim Cook says that supplies will be constrained and demand will be robust. So, there is a chance that you can't get one for weeks even if you can order them.

Wait.....definetly, without fail, wait for the iMac. Just some numbers..
MacBook Pro top GPU is the 650M. http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desk...specifications Top iMac GPU is the GTX680MX http://www.geforce.com/hardware/note...specifications That's 384 Cuda cores vs 1536 Cuda Cores (and PCIe 2.0 vs. PCIe 3.0). Almost 5x the amount of Cuda cores and at least double the bandwidth. |

Link Evaluation Survey 2012
As of mid-April, algorithmic rollouts by Google's Webspam team have impacted webmasters who have either built low-quality links, or had links directed at their sites using low-quality methods. Around 700,000 warning notices have been sent via webmaster tools, with penalties ranging from the loss of a few places in the rankings, to being de-indexed altogether. These recent penalties have led some to question whether there will be a resurgence in previous Black hat techniques being applied as part of a negative SEO strategy.

The Facebook for iOS app has just been updated with official support for iOS 7 and brings with it a few sparse interface and design changes. Mainly a new menu bar with a new way of accessing the navigation menu and a few other tweaks. Other additions include a few new languages.
While some design elements have been overhauled, actual interface changes are few and far between. Aside from a new menu bar and navigation panel, many users won't notice too much of a change to their main timeline and other sections of the app. The bigger news is probably the addition of a few new languages including Czech, Finnish, Polish, Swedish and traditional Chinese. A new gesture has also been added for iPhone only that allows you to tap the bottom of your screen to quickly access messages and notifications.
Other than that, there's not too much new. If you notice any other changes, let us know in the comments!
Honestly, I'm so disappointed with Facebook.. the ONLY feature I wanted in an iOS7 Facebook update is to support the new background update/refresh feature, and of course they didn't touch anything like that, they just have to play around with their own interface giving us no new benefits.. real bummer..
I completely agree. When they announced the background refresh feature at WWDC, I immediately thought of Facebook and how nice it would be to see a notification, open the app, and not have to wait 15 seconds (1st world problem) for the notification to catch up, within the app.
I sincerely hope this feature is in the next update, and that it comes soon.
With iOS 7 you can use Siri to post an update to your wall without logging in to facebook!
I'm not sure how this looks the same, because it does. They flipped the navigation, removed the slide right and notifications are now at the bottom. Its going to take a bit to get used to the new layout and how to access information.
I think it looks much better than the old, much cleaner.
Sent from the iMore App
Who's the genius at Facebook that approved the bottom bar navigation? The iPhone already suffers from a cluttered view due to Facebook's larger than average header, now that they added the bottom bar, there's even less viewable content.
This is weird. So mine updated, but I don't have the bottom bar. Instead, my Friend Requests, Messages and Notifications still appear at the top of the page in the blue banner. Menu button on left, chat on right. iOS7 version for sure, updated keyboard and blue banner goes under the top banner on the iphone.
Its very weird. My wife Ipod 5th Gen had the bottom bar, while my Iphone 5 still have everything on top. Both already on IOS7 and updated to the latest version
i thought it would have the background updating like the other apps... the worst part about the new update is it doesnt show via ios when you post a status, now all you see is via mobile... biggest disappointment
Hi I recently upgraded to ios7 now the facebook app doesn't work on it, I continually get a blue screen with the loading icon, iv deleted it and reinstalled it but t no avail... Any help appreciated... Not overly computer savy...
Can anyone help?? I logged out of my Facebook app the other day and have not been able to log back in since! There is just a blue screen with the little turning wheel. It won't do anything no matter how long I leave it. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the app several times but to no avail. I have also tried switching my phone on and off. Any help would be much appreciated!

00:23.62 min/secFastest Time To Recite All 50 United States In Alphabetical Order While Riding On A Pogo Stick
All Comments for this Record Category
response to this attempt
Alex Cunningham
Technically, this should be the record: http://recordsetter.com/world-record/recite-50-states-alphabetical-order-pogo-stick-jumping-rope
response to this attempt
Peter Craig
No that record is definitely valid - the record is reciting while riding. The recital stopped while she fell off, continued riding and continued reciting. If reciting continued while not riding it would definitely be disqualified in my opinion. The criteria should then be "recital must stop or the last named state repeated if riding the pogo stick stops during recital".
response to this attempt
Dan Rollman
"Falling off" was never grounds for disqualification, though I agree with the sentiment. If the next person who beats this record does so without falling off, I think we should evolve the criteria and make that a mandatory requirement.
response to this attempt
she fell off halfway through, automatic disqualification

Did Vasco da Gama Matter for European Markets? Testing Frederick Lane's Hypotheses Fifty Years Later
In his seminal publications between the 1930s and 1960s, Frederick Lane offered three hypotheses regarding the impact of the Voyages of Discovery that have guided debate ever since. First, pepper and other spice prices did not rise in European markets in the century before the 1490s, and thus could not have %u2018pulled in%u2019 the oceanic explorations by their rising scarcity. Second, Portuguese circumnavigation of Africa did not lower European spice prices across the 16th century, implying that the discovery of the Cape route had no permanent effect on Euro-Asian market integration. Third, 15th century Venetian spice markets were already well integrated with those in Iberia and northern Europe, implying that Portugal could not have had an intra-European market integrating influence in the 16th century. Lane developed these influential hypotheses by relying heavily on nominal spice prices from Venice and the Levant. This paper revisits Lane%u2019s hypotheses by using instead relative spice prices, that is, accounting for inflation. It also draws on evidence from Iberia and northern Europe. In addition, it explores European market integration before and after 1503, the year when da Gama returned from his financially successful second voyage. Lane%u2019s three hypotheses are rejected: the impact of the Portuguese was profound on all fronts. We conclude by using a simple model of monopoly and oligopoly to decompose the sources of the Cape route%u2019s impact on European markets.Download Info

Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - Courts Plus Community Fitness says it's trying to get an edge on the competition.

The updated facility features a 36-foot high play area, a new track, a smoothie bar, and community education rooms.
The health club says more and more gyms keep popping up in the metro, and it needs to stand out.
Kevin Boe, Plus Community Fitness: "The competition in town has come up significantly, so it was needed, plus the community, with the children and the indoor playground, is a large component to that."

Teriyaki Chicken
November 29th, 2008Recipes, 30-Minute Recipes, Recipes, Japanese Recipes, Recipes45 Comments(Check out the new Chicken Teriyaki Recipe)
Please welcome My Cooking Hut (please check out her curry laksa post) back as she guest posts yet another droolsome dish: Japanese teriyaki chicken and shares her teriyaki chicken recipe with us.
I believe I don't have to elaborate too much what Teriyaki Chicken is. This ever so popular Japanese dish is really well known is any part of the world. The word, teriyaki is a combination of two Japanese words "teri" and "yaki." Teri means luster and yaki means grill or broil.
Teriyaki sauce can be bought in a bottle at any supermarkets. The leading brand is probably Kikkoman that I know of. For me, I prefer to mix the sauce from scratch–it tastes better I reckon. It's not at all complicated to make teriyaki sauce. The main ingredients are mirin, sake, soya sauce, and sugar. Some recipes add grated ginger.
For Teriyaki chicken, I definitely think chicken thighs suit the most. I prefer chicken thighs over chicken breasts. I think the meat tends to be more succulent, firm and smooth. I chose to debone the chicken thighs so that it's less messy to eat. Teriyaki chicken is usually eaten with boiled rice or it could also be served over a bed of salad. Either way is great! It's really quick to make this dish–probably 20 minutes or so. You can also try out my chicken teriyaki recipe, which takes only4 ingredients to make the chicken teriyaki.

I wasn't aware that was what teriyaki meant – guess I learn something new every day!. I'm definitely going to try this some time, looks yummy. :)
1Looks and sounds delicious. I like 'em grilled over a hibachi.
Hey Bee, you've been tagged! Come visit our site for details.
2This dish looks delicious and very much like the teriyaki I can buy locally. I always wondered how they did the sauce because I can never replicate it at home. Now I have a clue!! Guess I need to buy a few more ingredients :-) Saki and mirin are not something I currently have stocked in my pantry.
3I've tried Kikkoman's teriyaki sauce before, and refused to try teriyaki chicken for years afterwards (it smells like socks). Later, I forget how I accidentally tried teriyaki chicken with a different sauce, but it was good.
I recently made the mistake of buying Kikkoman's sweet and sour sauce, that tastes like some kind of jelly mixed with Heinz 57 — I like it sweet, vinegary with a bit of tomato, but not with steak sauce.
But I've learned my lesson, never judge a dish if Kikkoman makes a sauce for it, until I tried it made by someone else.
4OOOH! Robuchon in Hong Kong! I can't wait. Beautiful, sticky sweet chicken! Thanks Cooking Hut! :)
5Looks great. Chicken Teriyaki is such a pedestrian dish, bit you've made it look delicious!
6wat is sake and mirin? where can i find them in malaysia?
7Dear Madam,
I too, am looking forward to try cooking this recipe.
However, is there any substitute for both of these items; Sake and Mirin?
Any non alcoholic suggestions would suffice.
Thanks for your help.
8instead of sake you can use sherry and instead of mirin use rice wine
I have mirin, but no sake. I'd be interested in substitution suggestions too. Could I just use extra mirin?
Sake is Japanese rice wine. Mirin is a kind of rice wine similar to sake but characterized by sweet taste and low alcohol content.I think in Malaysia, you can probably get them in Isetan KL for example. Where do you live?
I don't know what would substitute sake and mirin. You can try to make these without these two but I don't think it would be as nice. Probably, you can try to buy rice wine vinegar.Diana,
I think you can just do without sake. I have checked and you could probably substitute sake for vermouth if you want.10Heya!
We made your teriyaki chicken today, but we were to lazy to look for sake in the supermarket so we substituted with the sherry that was already open and in our fridge. It tasted ok, it had an even stronger flavor than I'm used to from teriyaki! Next time i'll get the sake and see how good it'll get. Thanks for the recipe!11I made it and it tastes just like the teriyaki I grew up with in Hawaii! I subbed the sake with rice vinegar and it was really good. I posted the results on my blog. Thanks for the recipe!
12I've just tried this recipe and loving it, even my fussy partner loves it!
I did not have mirin, so I googled the best substitute: Sake:Sugar in comparison to 3:1
The teriyaki chicken turned glazy, just like the ones in Japanese restaurants! I put extra 1 clove of crushed garlic when heating the oil for extra flavour without too overpowering. This dish is great for everyone, includes fussy kids as well. I thought that the sake would be a little strong, but there was no alcohol after-taste at all. So Yummmmmmmy!
13Will the oil splatter after placing the chicken soaked with marinate in pan? I tried cooking salmon teriyaki and the oil splatter all over my kitchen and I had a tough time cleaning up. Any way to avoid an oily kitchen?
14I use corn flour to thicken the sauce.
great pictures btw.
there is alcohol free mirin on sales in the United Arab Emirates. They might sell it where yo ulive.
16That looks really good. Where is the rice? Gotta have rice.
17Can Shao Xing wine be used as a substitute for sake?
18Your recipe is so yummy!! Plus it's easy to make and simple enough to do. One thing I find it rather annoying though….any ideas on how to decrease amount of layered burnt sauce when browning the chicken after second and third times of using the pan? I put the heat on low heat and still the pan has quite a bit of "cakey" burnt sauce. I made the recipe 4 times as much, so I had quite a batch of chicken to brown. Otherwise……the taste was sooo gooood! I would definately make another one. Thank you.
21I just made this recipe last night, and it was so amazingly good!! I personally think this is better than the chicken teriyaki in the Japanese store at the mall! :D Not only is this easy to make, the outcome is simply delicious! This will definitely stay in my cook book! ^^
23I tried this recipe just this afternoon and it turned out very well! I would have used abit less sugar, as i don't like my meat dishes to be too sweet, and i would have upped the sake, for more of that flavour. Apart from that, it was very nice.
25i couldnt find sake in the local supermarket so i got jappanese cooking wine insead can i use this? planing to make it tomorrow night :)
27Loving this site so much
30My girlfriend and I love teriyaki chicken so I went in search for a great recipe to make it at home. I found a couple but settled on this one. After going to the grocery store and getting the required ingredients, I went home to try out this recipe. This recipe is very easy and simple to make. I changed a couple things about it though, to suite mine and my girlfriend's taste. Instead of marinating whole pieces of chicken, I cut the chicken up to start. I also let it marinate for about an hour. After cooking it, which only took about 10-15 minutes, I served it with steamed brown rice. My girlfriend and I fell in love with its taste, and it is now our favorite recipe to make at home. I am actually in the process of making some more as I type this review.
31So i have a major problem! Because there's so much sugar in the marinate, the chicken burns quickly whenever I try frying it. Is there any advice you would give to avoid this? thanks
32Hi, is it suitable to substitute chicken with pork?
33Is sake optional? cause I'm doin it for school and I cant bring the sake.
34how many servings would this recipe be? (:
please answer asap (;36Made this for inner tonight and it was a hit. I'm on eight watchers so it would be nice to know
Nutritional values.38Trying the teriyaki salmon tomorrow for dinner,
My family including my toddlers loved the teriyaki chicken recipe. Can't wait to make it again.
This for the reipe.39I tried cooking this dish tonight and similar to juhuacha's experience with pan fried marinated salmon, the oil splattered everywhere once I added the marinated chicken onto the pan. It was a big mess. Any idea on how to prevent this?
40Bee, for someone who ain't a good cook, this recipe is sure easy to follow and tastes good as well. I have just 1 question – is the chicken skin supposed to be crispy or just crisp looking? My husband said it lacked the crisp but I had already been pan-frying it longer than your suggested time and it still stays soft :(
43Turned out pretty salty. Am using the All-purpose Kikkoman Soy Sauce. Is that the right stuff?
44This recipe is so easy and is the best tasting teriyaki chicken recipe that I've made. I'm eating it right now and IT IS DELICIOUS! Make it tonight. You won't REGRET it!
