You might recognize a few names and faces in this great slideshow!
Fresh Ideas for Packed School Lunches~
Let's keep it going! What else do you pack for your little ones?
Mine get sunbutter and homemade jelly sandwiches since peanut butter is not allowed. I also like to give them homemade jelly since I don't use much sugar in it.
My kids also like things they can dip - veggie sticks and ranch dressing, a cheese stick with marinara sauce, etc.

And I always give him a bottle of water along with one Capri Sun.
|Mon, 08-01-2011 - 3:29pm
|Mon, 08-01-2011 - 3:40pm
I also like to pack cheese cubes, apples with peanut butter for dipping, carrots and celery with ranch, raisins, and lots of chopped fruit. I like to prepare most of these things in bulk and I store them in individual containers. It makes packing the lunchbox a breeze each morning!
|Mon, 08-01-2011 - 3:40pm
We go with either a nutella & jelly sandwich or organic ham/turkey on whole wheat bread with no high fructose corn syrup, then add in a bag of Club or Saltine crackers or carrots (with a baggy of ranch to dip in) and a baggy of homemade cookies or muffins. We're not too worried about sugar itself, as it's all in moderation, but we are careful about dyes and preservatives so almost everything he eats is homemade, though I know he gets the occasional snack from someone else at school, usually some dye-ridden or HFCS-laden snack but if I can make it only once in a while, we'll call it good.
|Mon, 08-01-2011 - 3:47pm
My kids' favorites were bread sticks (seriously versatile as they can dip) with little containers of either guacamole, cheese sauce, meat/tomato based sauce
In ziplock bags I'd put various combinations of: baby carrots, celery sticks, cucumber sticks, cherry tomatoes, basically any bite sized veggies.
They also loved muffins, individual sized yogurts, puddings and any fruit either cut up in a ziplock or whole.

We have a wide mouth thermos, so when we have leftovers he really likes, like spaghetti, chili, soup or gumbo, he's easy to please. Another favorite is ham on whole wheat bread and a ziplock bag of baby carrots or cherry tomatos.

Just dual months out from his co-main eventuality compare opposite Rafael dos Anjos during UFC Fight Night 27, that takes place during Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Ind., on Aug. 28, 2013, Donald Cerrone is apparently blending it adult outward a Octagon.
CagePotato.com reports that "Cowboy" has been charged with third-degree attack in Grand County, Colo., in an apparent "boat rage" occurrence that took place on Lake Granby in late June. It seems like it was a mutual exchange, with a other particular slapped with with forward operation of a vessel and forward endangerment.
Check out a central matter from internal authorities:
"Donald A. Cerrone, 30 years of age, has been charged with Third Degree Assault by a summons to court, and it is a Class One Misdemeanor. There is no aver for him during this time. Mr. Cerrone and another person, Jeffrey S. Aley, were concerned in a boating fury occurrence (similar to highway fury though by use of boats) on Lake Granby. The occurrence escalated to a indicate where Mr Cerrone assaulted Mr. Aley. Mr. Aley was also charged with Reckless Operation of a vessel and Reckless Endangerment, a Class Three Misdemeanor. The box is still ongoing, and has not been resolved in court."
It's no tip that a tip Lightweight Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) contender takes his H2O sports serious. In fact, he has settled in a past that he is now posterior a career in veteran wakeboarding (more sum here).
No word nonetheless if this occurrence violates a churned martial humanities (MMA) promotion's Fighter Code of Conduct and/or if it will impact his pivotal showdown with dos Anjos after this month.
Cerrone many recently bounced behind from a tough detriment to stream No. 1-ranked multiplication contender, Anthony Pettis, dismantling K.J. Noons during UFC 160 in May 2013.

Lattice Semiconductor has developed two power-saving IP cores intended for use in smartphones and mobile devices. Known as 'Voice Solution' the two IPs are: Voice Command supporting hands-free and always-on applications, and Voice Recognition which improves the user experience by enhancing security and reducing false trigger inputs. They essentially act as a processing front-end, allowing the main processor to remain in low power dormant mode until voice commands have been processed and recognized by the Lattice Voice Processor.

Trandi blogged about his RC servo and stepper motor project. He writes:
For those interested in reproducing this example:
The board is called "EP2C5 Mini Board" and has a EP2C5T144C8 Cyclone II FPGA on it
I used a standard, 9grams micro RC Servo
I used a 28BYJ-48 stepper motor and it's driver (you can purchase these as a bundle for very cheap on dealextreme or banggood)
I used the free edition of Quartus II from Altera, version 13.0 SP 1 (be careful, later versions do not support Cyclone II FPGAs anymore)
I created a simple project, pasted all this code as a single module (it would of course be cleaner to separate the RC Servo and stepper control code into independent modules)
made the "Top level entity" in the General configuration page equal to "counter" (the name of my module)
used the Pin Planner to assign the inputs/outputs as follows:

I bought Avnet's $49 Spartan 3A development board but it was discontinued not long afterward – right about the time when I decided I needed a few dozen more. I've since done some extensive research (thanks, Google!) to find a comparable thrifty thrill.
When choosing a development board, consider what you get with it and what you want to use it for. FPGAs are ideal for use with high speed peripherals, and in general it is much easier to buy a board that contains the part you want, rather than trying to add one on later (and inevitably giving up and upgrading to a more capable board).

Whether engineer, hobbyist, or maker, we've happily watched as chipmakers and third parties alike have come to their senses in recent years and cooked up a smorgasbord (smorgasboard?) of low-cost microcontroller devboards – in some cases, very low cost, like TI's $4.30 MSP430 board. More recently, we've seen ARM Cortex kits for $10-$50, the flowering of the whole Arduino ecosystem, and of course, the Raspberry Pi, starting at $25. It's microcontroller heaven.
Those of us wanting a cheap "in" to the FPGA world have been less lucky. But the times, they are a changin'. Many FPGA devkits, from both chipmakers and third parties, have broken – or downright shattered – the $100 barrier, opening the door to low-cost FPGA prototyping, education, hobby projects, and so on.
Follow me as I explore this brave new world of affordable FPGA learning and design. I've acquired a representative selection of bargain-priced boards, and will be reviewing each, not just on paper, but by actually creating projects with it.
FPGA boards under $100: Introduction - [Link]
pyroelectro.com just started an online course, An Introduction To FPGA And CPLD, through uReddit.com.
This course is meant to create a pathway into learning about FPGA and CPLD electronics, for people who are scared of the code, tools and general trickery that usually comes with it. A hands-on approach is taken in this course through a combination of lecture and experimentation to teach you about the different features of both the development tools and languages used in the world of FPGA. Additionally, visuals are used throughout lectures like step-by-step schematic building and line-by-line code explanations so that everything gets explained.
An Introduction To FPGA And CPLD - [Link]
Comes with all the hardware and software you need to quickly get your FPGA project going. Now you can focus on the real engineering.
When we came up with our board's design, we looked at what was available in other boards on the market and enhanced it.
Our kit is small, much smaller than the closest thing on the market,it's smaller than a credit card at only 1.8 in x 3.0 in. That means you can put it inside some pretty small projects. (Here's something to get you thinking, by 2025 the cost of putting one pound into space is expected to be just $100.)
And our kit is bread board friendly, so you can quickly connect it to a shield or to a bread board.
Now, there's a handful of other broads with many of these features on the market, but our miniSpartan6+ costs around half of what its closest competitor does.

The hardened single-precision floating point DSP blocks included in Arria 10 and Stratix 10 devices are based on Altera's variable precision DSP architecture. Unlike traditional approaches that implement floating point by using fixed point multipliers and FPGA logic, the hardened floating point DSP blocks eliminate nearly all the logic usage required for existing FPGA floating-point computations. The technology enables Altera to deliver up to 1.5 TeraFLOPs DSP performance in Arria 10 devices and up to 10 TeraFLOPs DSP performance in Stratix 10 devices. This now gives DSP designers the choice of either fixed or floating-point modes. The floating point blocks are backwards compatible with existing designs.

Micah (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, Book 13) (edition 2006)

Micah by Laurell K. Hamilton
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is another good book within the Anita Series. You can pick up where you left off quite easily. Last year i was trying to read this as an ebook, too frustrating. Now i have an old paperback version of this, and continued where i left off no problem. The book is a tad annoying with Anita being so testy and maybe a tad selfish. I didn't realize how easily mad she got, with her constant complaining. But otherwise, good book.
I love Laurell Hamilton's work, her writing and just about all of her series.
Firstly, a pertinent point about this book is it's short – it's about 100 pages long by my e-reader and a substantial part of that is a preview of Danse Macabre. This is normally where I insert my complaints about how I don't like novellas, but I'll pass on it this once.
But I will say if you are going to write a novella, you have little space to actually waste words – your words have to count. You can't write an 80 page story and then waffle. Unfortunately, this book does waffle – partly with the standard over-descriptive style interspaced with an annoying amount of recapping (though, to be fair, both are far more restrained than is common in the series) and partly with it taking its time to get on with the plot.
We then have scenes that take too long, add very little and take up space: a sex scene to be exact. And there was the obligatory Agent who calls in Anita but can't be professional enough to hide his obvious dislike (all these people who hate Anita, none of them capable of a veneer of civility) which means we have to have a longwinded rendition of Anita vs The Haterz that will only get worse from this point in the series.
We also have a lot of revisiting of Anita's issues. Now I'm not actually against exploring Anita's need to constantly sabotage her own relationships, being awkward for awkwardness sake and often fleeing into anger whenever she feels any kind of emotion because she's terrified of anything that may make her slightly vulnerable. These would be interesting things to explore – but less so things to repeat ad nauseum. Exploration is not the same as repetition especially in a novella where we have limited space to actually develop things.
One thing I was eager to see was some development of Micah. By this phase in the books Micah is pretty much a short guy who is a wereleopard and has a really big penis. As one of Anita's main men – growing ever more important – it would be nice for him to be more than the Giant Kitty Cock (there's a mental image for you).
Of course, this being the Anita Blake Series, "development" means "big load of angst." So we get Micah angst… about being a wereleopard (therefore a monster) and having a huge cock (and how this made dating hard).
Y'know it could be an interesting thing to examine that the much vaunted mega-penis of doom actually has a downside, that most women don't actually want anything to do with a penis the size of their arm and that it's very easy to be fetishized because of it. Except we had it used as another example of how Anita is better than all women because not only can she take the super ginormocock of doom but she can do it with minimal foreplay while so very very very very tight (as we were told at extreme length) because she is ANITA!

This is almost classic Anita Blake. Tantalizingly similar to the original character. This is really more like a novella with filler.
"Micah" was extremely short - thin, double spaced, several pages between chapters. It was severely lacking in plot - just enough to give the novel the barest hint of forward momentum, so that Anita and Micah didn't loll around in their hotel room from beginning to end.
However, this is the first Laurell Hamilton book that I've read and it was good enough that I'm going to start at the beginning and see what all the fuss is about. If this is the worst that she can do, her best must be pretty good - because although this book really is a trumped-up short story, the writing is sharp and the atmosphere is dark without being heartless.
So there - this book is, at best, a good hors d'oeuvre.
Trying to be as concise as possible: this book didn't add anything to the overall series. I get that Hamilton was trying to flesh out Micah's character a bit more, but it could (and should) have just been a short story or novella.

Hi all. Has anyone here used a floating brake caliper on their Prophet? I was thinking of getting one from Brake Therapy to rid my ride of "break squat" (correct me if I'm wrong about the squaiting it may be brake jack).
Whatever, the rear suspension does harden up when braking and I'd like it to be a bit more active.

Favotire Shoes

These are my favorite shoes. They fit true to size. Have a stiff enough sole that you can take them on impromptu adventures, they work great for boating, and they are overall stylee. I wear the brown/blue ones without the laces. Seriously so awesome.

Owner: Toni Katz - I started Klassy Katz Quilts in 2000 and added BERNINA's in 2004. It has been a wild but extremely fun ride of a lifetime. I have sewn since 7th grade and had a mother that wouldn't even sew a button on. It was a need that I had and sewed mostly clothing all through high school and college. I made extra money hemming and mending other girl's things. I sewed to keep my sanity while raising children. I started quilting in 1990 and have never looked back although I still do clothing sewing and embroidery and software. I love it all. I love the new technology of sewing and all the gadgets. I always say I had a checkered background, degree in Food and Resource Management (water management), retailing and handled emergency parts at an airline. Life has been an interesting journey. As we all know that have been around for a while, you can't do it all alone and I have been married to Bob for 31 years and he has been superlative of my ventures. I'm the lucky one.
Our Team - I am so proud of the amazing talent and variety of styles and interests my staff has to offer. It makes us a better shop and offers you a wide variety of quilting/sewing classes so we're not limited. Two things I look for in a new teacher or staff are, are you willing to continue your sewing/quilting education and be part of the team to serve our customers. For me, it's not the years in sewing but the expertise and skills you are willing to master or have mastered that you bring to the plate for us. Meet our staff. Each brings unique qualities to the shop and we need each and everyone of them to make the shop "sing".
Joyce Anderson - I feel very fortunate to have Joyce. She moved from Atlanta to be close to her son, daughter in law and 2 grand daughters. She has managed many a store and I think I'm learning from her. Her hobby use to be miniatures and if you could see some of these items she has created, I have no idea how you can work that small. They are extremely elaborate. Joyce is working during the week to help us keep organized and keep an eye on my and keep me focused!
Dorren Ball - I affectionately call Dorren our resident geek but like I always say, that's with affection. In her real job, she is an IT Director. She is the most productive person I know and she has the quilts to show it in the short time she has been quilting. I've never seen anyone hone theirs sewing skills so fast. She is presently taking a break from the world of office politics and working more in the shop. She also is Handi Quilter tech certified and can help you with your long arm needs.She makes me check off my lists each day which is a good thing so we're accomplishing much! Ha.
Jessica Ball - Once I hired one young person, I decide why stop now. The youth and life they bring to the shop is wonderful. Jessica is a wonderful person and just to top it off, beautiful and smart. Don't you hate when people have it all? I'm just kidding. Anyway, she is our newest addition and will be in the shop on some Friday's and Saturday and is a full time student at the U of M. Her mother (Dorren) just happens to work with us as well so that is actually been fun for us all.
Tish Brister - Tish bought a machine after retirement and somehow adopted me. We love retired librarians since they seem to know everything I don't know or how to get to it. She started quilting and then found out that she loves embroidery so now she hosts our Embroidery Club once a month. Her other serious passion (besides Ronnie, her husband) is counted cross stitch. I can't get her to give it up. Go figure! The other thing you all don't know about Tish is her wicked sense of humor. She is not the sweet little lady you think she is. I have the email's to prove it.
Pam Block - Pam and I met at a quilt shop in the 1990's and we've been working together on and off for years. She has been with me the longest of any of my employees (was here when the shop first opened) and teaches the beginning piecing and quilting classes among many other quilts. Her flute playing with the Bartlett Community Concert Band and Bartlett Flute Choir plus playing piano for her church make her an extremely busy person. We affectionately call Pam the "Queen of Paper Piecing" for a good reason. Check out some of her samples.
Frances Bowles - Frances's specialty is teaching T-shirt quilts and she also makes them for the public. This class is a regular feature on our newsletters. In her spare time she is busy driving her grand daughter to all her activities.
Alice Franceshetti - Alice taught AP Biology for 31 years so she can handle you in a class. She has been quilting for the past 10 years, and her favorites are paper piecing and machine applique. But her talents don't stop there, she is a Master Gardner. She and her husband, Don, like to travel when he is not teaching as a UM professor.
Debi Frease - Debi loves quilting and is not afraid to use lots of color as you can see from her scrap quilts. She also loves to embroidery and will be creating some cute embroidery quilts for us to do. She will be creating many more new classes for us with the embroidery machine and her skill in digitizing with the new software. And, did I mention she was a huge BAMA fan??
Sharon Jasper - Sharon started sewing with the help of mom in 4H programs as a child. She has sewn clothing for her kids and herself and started quilting in 1990. As a military wife, lots of traveling comes with the job and she ran several of her own businesses such as cake decorating and selling homemade candy. She is a registered nurse by profession but only worked until her first child was born. We are pleased to have her talents in our shop and her specialty is beautiful applique. Take Sharon's beginner applique class if you want to know how to hand applique!
Debbie Moore - Debbie lives in Dyersburg but comes to Klassy Katz! So, the rest of you don't whine that you drive so far! Ha.She is a former Home Ec teacher who has always sewn for the creative satisfaction it provides. But, her love is children's clothing which is what everyone will see in her classes. She is a Licensed Martha Pullen teacher in Serger, Heirloom, Baby and Children's Garment Instruction and BERNINA machines. We look forward to learning a lot from Debbie.
Kit Rogers - Kit has been quilting longer than anyone in our shop since she started in 1977. She worked at another quilt shop until it closed and came to join us. She does beautiful quilts and is now venturing into computers and embroidery. Go Kit. She can give great suggestions for color and fabric choices while you are picking your quilt so don't hesitate to ask her advice.
Sharen Schulz - She has been shopping with us for a long time making her granddaughter wonderful outfits. Sharen has been sewing and embroidering for many years and even made her husband Leisure Suits in the day. After retiring as a legal secretary, she embraced the art of sewing/embroidery again and this time all for fun. She is now trying more quilting to broaden her horizons. We're glad she joined the party.
Mollie Swindle - Now, this is the woman who marches to another beat and proud of it. I'm not sure when I met Mollie but we were both so excited about arty type clothing and embellishments and lots of other sewing techniques. Mollie can fit anyone and I mean that. She fits you in the clothing classes and then will challenge you to step out of the box. Her classes are always lots of fun and if you didn't think sewing clothing can be fun, I've got news for you. Her day job is as an system engineer but we feel lucky to have her grace our shop. With 2 boys still at home and Bama games to go to, she has to squeeze us in.
Derri Williams - Derri will be helping us out on Saturdays in the month that her river boat husband is on the river. Her real job is managing a law office so now you know why she finds putting bolts away relaxing. She can help you with software and machines if you need any assistance. She has really saved the day many times.

Hello all--
It feels good to finally get back to composing and recording a little.
I've been working on an old piece I never finished. The draft audio
files are here:
Blues in C 1
Usually I record the audio directly into Ardour or Audacity, but this
time I recorded the MIDI performance instead, into Rosegarden (I also like
Muse very much), then played back the slightly cleaned up MIDI file and
recorded the audio produced by the tone generator (a rack-mounted Roland
Fantom XR) that was being "played" by the MIDI file, which is here:
Blues in C 1, MIDI (standard MIDI file type 1)
A much older version of Blues in C 1, MIDI file:
My Blues in C 2, a more recent composition that I finished and recorded
before finishing Blues in C 1:
Both of these "blues in C major" were created with one original idea: to
take a standard, bare-bones, dirt-simple blues progression in C
(tonic/subdominant/dominant "1, 4, 5" song) and try to do something
"interesting" with it, but retaining the essential skeleton of the blues
in C major. In Blues in C 1, I aimed for putting in a different "passing
chord" for every beat of every bar, only briefly landing on C, F and G
at their mandatory times. For Blues in C 2, the more recent composition
but the first to be completed and recorded, the idea and intent remained
the same, but the technique I used was to have a bass line that shifted
all around the C, F and G which formed the piece's structure, and that
technique allowed for some interesting melodic composition.
Anyway, I hope everybody's doing well--
Steve Doonan

Believe it or not there are barely only 2 more months left in 2014 and I thought this would be a great time to see where our favorite American Muscle cars rank when it comes to the ultimate word of mouth: their fans on social media networks Facebook & Twitter. I plan to add another for Google+ and possibly others in a future post, but these 2 mega networks should suffice for now.
The definition of American Muscle car seems to have changed over the years, but just to clarify, I will be ranking just the top muscle cars, the cream of the crop. You won't find any Chrysler 300s with HEMI's on this list.
Now I know there are tons of variations of every muscle car, so I will keep this as basic and bare bones as possible so we can get a fair picture of every brand and see just how much we love our loud ass gas guzzlers. Here we go.
Most Popular American Muscle by FACEBOOK likes on their official fan pages (and % of fans that come from the USA):
Ford Mustang – 8,011,913 (31.2% US)
Chevy Camaro – 4,385,042 (55.8% US)
Chevy Corvette** – 2,858,314 (24.4% US)… 10% India
Dodge Challenger – 1,852,113 (27.8% US) … 10.7% Mexico
Dodge Viper – 559,080 (18.9% US)… 9.4% India
Dodge Charger – 155,464* (37.5% US)
* the Dodge Charger SRT8 had another 25,693 likes, still low.
** the Corvette C7 Stingray had another 246,803 likes
Most Popular American Muscle by TWITTER followers and Klout score:
@FordMustang (Ford Mustang) – 254,000 (69 Klout)
@CorvetteRacing (Chevy Corvette) – 40.3k (64 Klout)
@driveSRT (Generic Dodge SRT account) – 60.2k (65 Klout)
Worth noting that Chevy Corvette, Camaro, Dodge Challenger, Viper & Charger do not have dedicated Twitter accounts. Dodge Viper is under the umbrella of the @driveSRT account but that also includes a Dart, so…. what gives guys?
Ok, let's just use the manufacturer by itself here for shits & giggles:
@ford (All of Ford Motors) – 551k (93 Klout)
@chevrolet (All of Chevy) – 530k (92 Klout)
@dodge (All of Dodge) – 351k (87 Klout)
Without going any further, by all measures it's pretty unanimous that the king of social media buzz and love for American Muscle cars is owned by Ford and the Ford Mustang. The masses have spoken. Great work on all fronts from the social media and awareness teams at Ford Mo Co for making this happen, impressive numbers.
In case you were wondering, what the heck is Klout? It's like your credit score in the social media world, the higher the number, the more Internet cred you hold (and the more companies are willing to pay you to advertise with them).

Have another shop take a quick look at it and get their opinion. If the second place thinks it's too low then nicely and politely take it back to the 1st shop and have them fix it.
Above answers are correct. In Florida make sure the radiator cap will hold proper amount of pressure, also make sure you have the 50/50 mix of coolant. I'm assuming this is a 3.0 U engine. These are known for the water pump impellers to wear away. Also make sure the 2 small hoses going to the expansion tank are not clogged.
Agree with above, check oil level first. Just remember... You have a gauge but the sender is actually a switch, just on and off. The gauge is either up or down on this vehicle it does not reflect actual pressure changes (why Ford did this I don't know). If the oil level is OK I would have the oil pressure tested by someone.
I agree with the above answer. You need to remember a new part is not made with precision. There is a good chance the new tie rods are a little longer or shorter. Get an alignment as soon as possible so you don't ruin your tires. If you have driven it a lot it may be in your best interest to rotate the tires also... after the alignment.
When installing new throttle body or ECM, the throttle position has to be learned by the ECM. To do this, turn Ignition On, Engine Off, for 30 seconds .
1st off there is a TSB #09-11-11 that relates to water getting into PCM connector. I would inspect that first. Disconnect the connector and if there is water in it dry it out and add some dielectric grease to it. Then will need to install the splash shield for the cowling vent. If the connector is not wet then I'm sorry I can not find information on if the system needs to be relearned or not or a procedure to do so.
Catalytic convertors can need replacement for a couple of reasons. They can loose the capacity to store oxygen which is its main function, it can plug up, or it can crack the inside and rattle. The main reasons for failure are coolant or oil being burned by the engine. Engine running rich on fuel due to bad O2 sensors or fuel pressure regulator among other reasons. Most of the time the crack inside by getting good and hot while driving and then driving thru a puddle and the thermal shock may crack the catalysts. When replacing convertors alway try to determine if something caused it.
90% it's a stuck open thermostat. Have the mechanic plug in the scanner and see what the coolant temperature is getting up to. Should be above 190 degrees while driving.
The anti-theft system will shut off the fuel injectors if it is in theft mode. You said you have fuel so we have to assume the theft system is not activated. For an engine to run it needs spark, fuel, and compression at the right time. Check the compression. It needs to be above 125 psi. Note that on these engines if it's too high, around 195 psi or higher, there is a good chance the timing chain jumped. If compression is OK pull all the plugs and replace them, if the plugs are wet the vehicle will not start. Leave the plugs out for about an hour or so to dry out the cylinders and check for fuel leaking from the fuel pressure regulator into the vacuum line attached to it. If that much gas got into the cylinders there will be some in the oil, change the oil after you get it running.
We don't recommend calipers unless there is a problem with them. I'm in Florida so we don't have a rust problem. Be sure to try to flush out as much of the brake fluid as you can... at least a quarts worth.

"Recipe was easy. I would just go a little light on the lemon. I don't know if I had an extraordinary large lemon, but it was very lemony. Next time I'll add to taste. I also sprinkled in sea salt, pepper and thyme.

When it comes to barbeque, I rank Korean BBQ above both Texan and Carolina. Sorry. Chalk it up to my being so completely delusional from this whole egg-white-and-plain-skinless-chicken-dealio if you want. I don't care. Korean BBQ = RadSauce.
Yeah, my presentation skills could use some work. Don't hate.
What's even better than a nice, juicy plate of bulgogi? Bulgogi served atop a bed of rice and veggies with warm egg yolk swirling through this bowl of love. Bibimbap is pretty simple–it's literally meat and veggies on rice with egg on top. Boom. And it's totally customizable. Seriously. You can get CAH-RAYZZEE with it if you want…I've been on a bibimbap rampage this week. This recipe, by far, was my most successful creation–Ross agreed weakly from his food coma. So did the dogs. I'm such an enabler.
I opted for chicken because a) I wanted to take a new spin on the whole thing since I've never seen chicken in bibimbap and besides, who doesn't like chicken?, b) I'm on a diet that forbids red meat/most foods that make my life worth living and c) traditional bulgogi is too much effort for me. So chicken = win.
2 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
1/4 c Sesame Oil
2 T Rice Vinegar
1/4 c Coconut Aminos
1 t Chili Powder
2 t Fresh Grated Ginger
1/4 t Dry Mustard
1 t Salt
1 t Black Pepper
1 Head Cauliflower
6 Eggs
Hot and Cold Veggies/Toppings of Choice
Pound the chicken breasts to 1/2 inch. Place in a dish along with the sesame oil, vinegar, coconut aminos, chili powder, ginger, mustard, salt, and pepper. Allow to marinate for at least 1 hour…but longer is better!
Bake COVERED at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Uncover, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes out of the oven, then cut into strips.
Grate the cauliflower by hand or in a food processor. Place in a microwave-safe dish and nuke for 8 minutes or until tender.
Cook the eggs sunny side up (you want nice, runny yolks!) while the chicken is still in the oven.
To assemble the bibimbap, place a layer of cauliflower rice in a bowl or on a plate. Assemble toppings and veggies of choice, then top with the chicken pieces. Top everything off with the sunny side up eggs.
Admire your presentation skills, then mix it all up and dig in!
Bonus Points!! I found this new hot sauce at Whole Foods last week from Tessemae's. It's good on anything and everything…but ESPECIALLY this!by
5 Comments on Sesame Chicken Bibimbap
This looks awesome!! What do you recommend for great toppings? I'm just not that creative… :-/
runny eggs on top of anything = a win in my book. i hate egg yolk unless it's running like a kenyan. yolk is the ultimate sauce and i'm diggin on that dish!
Haha I am Korean and I love how you are making Bibimbap very creatively. I have never seen a Bibimbap with chicken but I would love to try one!

This rug is fantastic! The color is not exactly what I was expecting, but I love it. In the pictures it looked a little more grey to me, but in fact it is a beautiful light blue with grey undertones. The pattern is bold and makes a great statement. The rug is very plush and seems to be of great quality. I am shocked that I could get a rug like this at such a great price, I couldn't be happier with it!
I ordered the beige rug and, at first glance, it looked decent. Upon closer inspection, however, I noticed several flaws. One of the corners was misshaped and didn't form a clean 90 degree angle. There were also several spots where dark brown yarn randomly appeared on portions of the rug that were supposed to be beige. Even without all of the flaws, it just didn't look like a high quality product. HOWEVER, Overstock's customer service was awesome. They gave me step-by-step instructions regarding how to return the product and provided a full refund. I will definitely shop Overstock again because of their friendly customer service.
The rug was beautiful!! Loved the style and feel of the materials but it did have some threads that "poked" out and were not tufted. Other than this minor issue I loved the rug and thought it was just perfect.
This is a lovely rug and it looked pretty in my living room. However, between my two small children and my husband's muddy boots, it quickly became stained to the point that I couldn't look at it anymore. I tried to clean the stain with Shout stain spray, and that dulled the color of the rug in that area and didn't remove the stain. I need to get it professionally cleaned, obviously. But as of right now, it isn't suitable to use. I replaced it with an indoor/outdoor rug for an easier clean. It is soft and pretty though. I received compliments on it. It's just too delicate in color and colorfastness for our use.
This rug is just OK. I was expecting it to be of a little higher quality, given the glowing reviews here. It was very affordable, and for the price, I think the quality is fine. To me it does not look like an expensive rug, as some of the other reviews have indicated. I purchased this rug in the beige/black combo. The colors are nice, and accurate as they appeared on the website. My rug had only 4 repeats of the pattern, rather than the 5 indicated in the photo. For me that wasn't a big deal, but just something to be aware of. I do very much like the transitional styling offered by this rug and it feels soft underfoot, I just hope it wears well, as I have a very active household with young kids and dogs.

For the magazine's May issue, DioGuardi took it all off, along with four other celebrities, including Entourage's Emmanuelle Chriqui, Grey's Anatomy star Jessica Capshaw and singer Colbie Caillat.
"This shoot was less about beauty than about taking a risk and showing people a side of me they never have seen," says the Idol judge.

The 39-year-old also explained how's she's changed since her struggles with binge-eating and depression in her early 20s.
"Back then I was a size 6 or 8; now I'm more like a size 2," she says. "Food is not what I use to anesthetize myself anymore."

1980 Sounders helped build winning soccer tradition in Seattle
Thirty years after the 1980 Sounders had a great North American Soccer League season, Sounders FC continues Seattle tradition.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Sounders FC @ Monterrey, Mexico, 5 p.m., FSC
Latest from the Sounders FC blog
The next time Qwest Field is rocking with a sold-out crowd for a Sounders FC match, give an assist to the old guys with the short shorts and long hair who laid the foundation.
In the summer of 1980, Seattle's popular soccer team was cheered on wildly by record crowds. Top talent from all over the world meshed seamlessly to create high-scoring entertainment. A charismatic coach of high standing barked instructions from the sideline.
Thirty years later, it's happening again. But it's important to remember where it started.
A generation ago, Seattle experienced an extraordinary soccer season. The 1980 Sounders won more games than any team in the history of the North American Soccer League, finishing 25-7 in the regular season.
If not for an unexpected exit in the playoffs, the squad might be considered one of the best in the history of American soccer.
A handful of players from that team and their larger-than-life coach, Alan Hinton, recently took time to reflect on that memorable year. They vividly recall the big games and shared moments in the locker room. But most of all, they wonder where the years have gone.
The legacy of that great team, they say, is hard to pin down.
"I'm not sure I know what it is," says Sounders FC assistant coach Brian Schmetzer, who watched the season from the bench as a wide-eyed 17-year-old defender. "The legacy could be that that group was the one that started the support of soccer in Seattle that we see here today."
A dream season
The first victory of the 1980 season came well before the games started.
Hinton, a first-year coach in Seattle recently dismissed by the Tulsa Roughnecks, built a roster based on his own experiences as a standout left-sided midfielder in the English Premier League. Using tactics he learned from legendary Derby County manager Brian Clough, Hinton brought in an influx of extraordinary talent with the support of owner Vince Coluccio.
A particular coup was purchasing the vaunted trio of forward Roger Davies, defender David Nish and goalkeeper Jack Brand from his former club, Tulsa.
"At the end of the day, X's and O's are very important, but the most important thing for every coach is knowing talent," Hinton says. "And I knew talent."
The list goes on. The midfield was led by exceptional playmakers Tommy Hutchison and Alan Hudson — the latter a favorite of a kid named Adrian Hanauer, who grew up to be Sounders FC general manager. A rigid defense was led by Ian Bridge and Bruce Rioch, not to mention Brand, who recorded 15 shutouts that season.
It didn't stop there. There was Jon Ryan, a second-team All-NASL defender, versatile Frank Barton in midfield and crafty Steve Buttle.
No wonder home crowds at the Kingdome averaged more than 24,000.
Davies, in particular, had a magical season, scoring a league-high 25 goals ("and with a smile that lit up the Kingdome," Hinton says) to earn the NASL most valuable player award.
"Most importantly, it was one of things where everything and everyone just clicked," says Mark Peterson, the team's second-leading scorer as a 19-year-old forward from Tacoma.
Seattle quickly caught fire. Through 23 games the Sounders had a sparkling 21-2 record — the best start for any team in this city until the Storm of the WNBA started 22-2 this summer.
"Everything fell into place," remembers forward Bruce Miller, who was injured (broken ribs, punctured lung, torn diaphragm) in the season's second game in a collision with the San Jose Earthquakes goalkeeper.
But euphoria came to a quick halt in the playoffs. Seattle's season came to a startling end in the National Conference semifinals with an agonizing loss to Los Angeles in a mini-game.
Jeff Stock, a 19-year-old defender from Tacoma, says it was particularly shocking "because when we walked out on the field, we thought we were going to win every game. It wasn't a question."
Work hard, play hard
Almost half of the 1980 roster, it seemed, was English. Credit that to Hinton's recruiting across the pond.
Many of those players, who brought with them a playing pedigree from the top leagues in Europe, also provided a sense of professionalism.
"Those guys came in and worked hard all the time, they never slacked off," says Miller, a Canadian. "The typical English player at that time had the attitude of 'work hard, play hard.' They worked hard as they could, played hard in the games, then afterward they went out and had a good time. They liked their beer, that's for sure, but they never slacked off."
An affinity for pints and pinpoint passing might best describe the complex Hudson. A carry-over from the Jimmy Gabriel-coached team in 1979, Hudson needed convincing to stay in Seattle and play under Hinton. Hudson later battled alcoholism, declared bankruptcy and was in a coma for two months after being hit by a car. He eventually made a full recovery and has written three books.
Potential issues and distractions from an eclectic mix of personalities, however, were eliminated by leadership, says Stock, who now owns Omni Properties in Federal Way and Caffe D'arte.
"If you look at the guys that we had, they were all captains on the teams they came over from," Stock says. "They were all great leaders."
The locker room was close but had its share of playful ribbings. Americans, especially the young ones, would get sarcastically taunted by the English about playing "football" the proper way. Rioch would get teased for being an Englishman on the Scottish national team.
All in good fun.
Says Hinton: "I used to tell all my teams, 'Let's get along because if we don't, coming to practice will be tough. If we win some games and get along, the season will be over in five minutes.' "
Planting a seed
It was always about more than just soccer for the 1980 Sounders.
A self-proclaimed group of working-class guys felt they were part of the community. They nurtured an unusually open relationship with fans.
Training clinics and youth camps were as common as picturesque Hutchison assists from the wing. Call it cliché, but it wasn't all about the money.
One generation later, the fruits of that labor are seen in the Qwest Field stands.
"When I first started playing, parents didn't understand the game," Peterson says. "Finally, it's catching that wave. People that played and understand the game are making it a major sport. It's been a part of them all their life."
Hinton marvels when he sees the crowds for Sounders FC games — the best in Major League Soccer — and can't help but think of the old days.
"We have been waiting for this to happen again," Hinton says. "I wake up and say, 'Wow, 36,000 people.' That's down to the love of soccer here and it's all going to get bigger. It was real privilege to be here and be amongst the great people. Now that I'm 30 years older, I just love the way the game has taken off.
"Here's to the next 30 years."

Phl lawmaker: Aquino should say 'sorry'
Ilagan said President Aquino's administration failed to fulfill its campaign promises, one of which is to uplift the lives of the poorest of the poor because of massive graft and corruption committed by his political allies.
In an early morning interview over dzRH Radio-Manila, the militant lawmaker made mention of the controversial Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) funds that went to the pockets of President Aquino's chosen men.
It can be recalled that portions of DAP funds were allegedly used by the Aquino administration in bribing senators to impeach former Chief Justice Renato Corona in 2012.
Opposition lawmakers claimed Budget Secretary Florencio "Butch" Abad is the brain of DAP, which was declared by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional.
Abad had been grilled by the Senate finance committee regarding the DAP controversy.
During the Senate hearing held last week, opposition quarters alleged that Senate President Franklin Drilon acted as Abad's legal counsel in his interrogation.
They claimed Drilon answered his own questions when he cross-examined Abad.

Forget Tupac's beyond-the-grave performance at Coachella: The University of Southern California's Shoah Foundation is hard at work creating high-tech holograms that have a much higher educational quotient. The Foundation is putting the finishing touches on its first three-dimensional holograms of nearly a dozen Holocaust survivors in hopes that these digital dopplegangers will be able to tell their stories to generations to come. Here's what you need to know about the project:
Why are these holograms important?
It should go without saying that the Holocaust was a very real and incredibly tragic event, but Holocaust deniers do exist (Iran's President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is a prominent example). Having living survivors with a wealth of stories to tell is perhaps the most powerful way to disseminate the truth about this horrific time in history. But since the average age of a Holocaust survivor is 79, and nearly a quarter of survivors are now 85 or older, the number of living witnesses is already dwindling. That's why USC's "New Dimensions in Testimony" project is attempting to record and display survivors' stories "in a way that will continue the dialogue between Holocaust survivors and learners far into the future." It's also possible that once the holograms have been perfected, they could teach classes, take part in conferences, or provide an expert opinion on relevant topics.
What makes them different from previous holograms, like Tupac's?
While the hologram of a rapping Tupac that debuted at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2012 was certainly impressive, it wasn't three-dimensional: Tupac's likeness was projected onto a thin screen that was nearly invisible to the audience. The holograms in the USC project, however, are actually 3D, and are projected into space rather than onto a screen. The New Dimensions team has also taken pains to make the holograms into more than simple projections: For example, 80-year-old survivor Pinchus Gutter, who saw his family herded into a Nazi camp's gas chambers, sat for hours answering 500 questions about his experience in order to create a hologram that can field questions from a live audience.
Where and when will the holograms debut?
An early version of Gutter's hologram debuted earlier this month during a talk at USC, but the New Dimensions team is still tweaking its technology. Once Gutter's hologram is finished, which could take anywhere from one to five years, his digital doppleganger and the other holograms in the works will likely be transported to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., where visitors would be able to interact with them face-to-face for years to come.
