Day 41 to Tuxtla Airport 21 miles on bike
Airport day again. We got up at 6:15 am and were out the door an hour later. The airport is about 30 minutes away. Although the airport code is TGZ for Tuxtla Gutierrez, it is actually in Chiapas de Corzo. Parking is going to be 180 pesos/day ouch. But this time I know it and there is nothing around the airport that looks like an alternative its in farm country. It is amazing how modern, clean, and efficient the airports are in Mexico compared to even the new ones in the States.
We spent five hours at Mexico Citys airport in the food court, and four hours at Houston International (90 minutes going through customs and immigration and security check point). It took 13 hours but we made it home on time. Weve gotta stop booking last minute flights!

Day 42 to San Cristobal de las Casas, 49 miles on bike
We had a 9 am flight out of Gulfport and with pretty good connections only made it to Tuxtla by 7pm through Atlanta and Mexico City night riding, here we come! Luckily, it didn't rain on us but we could see lightning in the night skies ahead. The parking fee for almost 8 days was 900 pesos - oh well. The machine to pay for parking would only take 200 peso bills so the parking attendant helped me by using his smaller bills, but he only put in 300 pesos in for the 500 pesos he took from me and he started to walk off, so I asked him to return, and he finally put the final 200 pesos weird.
Riding at night in Mexico wasn't too bad. I rode slower than normal, and followed a vehicle so their headlights would light up the road ahead for me. It took us around 90 minutes to get to our hostel in San Cristobal which has surprisingly congested traffic in the centro area. Not a moment too soon, though, it started raining hard 40 minutes after we had settled into our room. That would have sucked being stuck in the stop-and-go traffic or on the mountain road.
Rossco's Backpacker's is awesome. They allow a free night for motorcyclists (and bicyclists). That deserves repeating: A FREE NIGHT FOR MOTORCYCLISTS. We booked 2 nights for a private double ensuite for 450 pesos. Not bad. They had breakfast and wifi and a pool table and a fire pit. It is only a couple blocks from the main drag.
Because of the rain, we just went to a tienda around the corner and bought some cream of mushroom soup, canned mushrooms, tomato sauce, and pasta and cooked in the kitchen with the two cats lingering around.

Day 43 San Cristobal de las Casas, 0 miles on bike
more photos of the hostel
It rained a bit overnight, and the day started off overcast. We had no plans today but to explore the city. The streets were filled with locals who had finished a 10k foot race.
We walked to a couple churches on two different hills.
are these ktms?
The town is quaint with narrow streets on a grid pattern and colonial one-story storefronts and pastel colored walls.
We went to a grocery store and bought some boxed wine (1-L California red for 33 pesos!), olives, and some savory baked goods and hung out at the hostel.
awesome chips
It rained some more and we stayed in and went back out exploring when it stopped. We bought some more baked goods from El Horno Magico near the zocalo, which was tasty (especially the plantain and chocolate pastry).
queso roll a bit dried
garlic and onion but also dry
chocolate and plantain which is awesome
We saw some backpackers arrive from Guatemala and get dumped off in the zocalo and look lost and then head off in different directions.
furry skirt
a parade went around the square. It reminded me of a New Orleans Funeral (or wedding) but had a West African boogie man too. Maybe it's all creole.
there was a show in the zocalo dances from the different areas of Mexico.
We ended up spending the night talking to a couple folks around the firepit at the hostel, hearing their interesting stories. There were a lot of German-speakers at our hostel.
One guy we met was six weeks into his year-long travel, and had just gotten a divorce from his wife, who was traveling a few weeks behind him (they had purchased their tickets before the divorce) and she was trying to reconcile with him. I feel so fortunate being able to experience this trip with my wife.
It was a relaxed day in San Cristobal. In retrospect, we should have spent a couple nights in San Cristobal instead of Chiapas de Corzo last week.

Thanks for the write up! I love the pictures! I left port out of Tuxpan almost two years ago for some work in the Gulf, but got to spend some time in the town for a few days before departure. First evening was an awesome parade, and my hotel balcony gave me a private seat above the crowd. Never got to leave the boat in Progreso, but got to see the town of Paraiso just north of where you are when we steamed into Dos Bocas. I really liked it there and got to spend some nice times with government officials-one of whom was the kindest hostess I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Your pictures bring back good memories.

Day 44 to Palenque, 132 miles on bike
We had a late night around the fire, but planned an early departure for our ride to Palenque. The day prior had been the end of day light savings time back home, but not anywhere else in the world, so we had been operating an hour ahead, unbeknownst to us. So our early departure was even earlier, which was just as well for traffic's sake.
The ride to Palenque is not far but slow and windy through the mountains. We had our rain jackets on for the first half of the morning, but by the time we made it to Ocosingo, the sun was out. We stopped at a taqueria and had the worst tacos we have had on the trip. Seriously, they were terrible, and not inexpensive. 5 tacos with a soda for 65 pesos. The tortillas were soft and would not hold up to the weight and moisture of the fillings. The puerco was mostly chicharron so it was a greasy mess. We actually didn't finish our food. So unexpected.
Whats that on the crate of chickens?
Yes, it is a dude sleeping
We stopped at Agua Azul, 58 miles north of Ocosingo to see the emerald-colored cascades. We paid 28 pesos to enter the park. There were several taxis and minibuses there but not too many people in the water. We locked up our stuff on the bike, and carried what we couldn't secure to the bike with us. Lumbering around with our gear in the 90 F heat and humidity wasn't fun, but the views are worth it. We spent so much time changing clothes the same vendors came up five times to ask if we wanted plantains or bananas. Um, no muchos gracias.
No, I dont want plantain chips and bananas!
There are loads of vendors on the sidewalk path that goes upstream along the falls. They sold empanadas which looked better and were cheaper than our lunch in Ocosingo. Boo, on a wasted meal! You can buy a ride across on a ferry to the other side of the stream, where, I am guessing, you can climb to a nicer place to swim up above the falls. I don't know because we're too cheap to do this, haha. We walked to the top of the falls but there were some clouds of mozzies, so we headed back down and waded into the water where the locals were. The temperature of the water felt like 60F, so it was difficult going in too deep. But it worked in cooling us off. After an hour or so, we got back on the bike and put on the motogear over our damp swimwear and headed off to Palenque. Does that sound like a smelly combination? It was!
View from the top
We didn't have a place booked in Palenque but had a couple places in mind. There are old moldy resorty hotels on the road from Palenque town to the ruins. They look like they were built 40 years ago. We stopped at one which was less than $40 on the internet but there was no one there and it looked old, so we headed back to Palenque town to stay at the Hostel Yaxkin for 450 pesos for a beautiful private room. It is actually in La Canada, a shaded neighborhood full of hotels across a short bridge from the rest of the Palenque town. It has the market area and supermercados one block away. They have a sweat lodge there, which is funny because you don't need to be in a lodge to sweat in Palenque.
Sweat lodge
After peeling off our clothes, we headed out to Chedraui, the supermercado, and bought some dinner a baguette, tomatoes, boxed wine, goat cheese, Spanish jamon, and baked goods. It was a tasty meal and we saved the baked goods for lunch tomorrow at the ruins, but someone in the hostel got hungry in the middle of the night and ate our food! Oh well. This kind of thing happens at work in the break room, where people know you, so it is bound to happen in a hostel full of strangers. The wife was kind of pissed, though.

Day 45 to Villahermosa, 89 miles on bike
We got up early to hit the ruins. We packed our gear up and kept it in the hostel locker and checked out of our room. We headed back to Chedraui to buy more baked goods for lunch.
At Palenque, you have to pay a couple times 28 pesos to enter the national park, and 59 pesos to enter the ruins. The guy at the ticket booth tried to shortchange me pesos, but only a couple pesos. But I guess if a hundred people show up in a day, he can make out pretty well. At the parking lot, a local asked if I wanted him to keep an eye on my bike, and I declined. Haha. Loads of guides offered their services, but we aren't really into that kind of stuff, so we just explored on our own. I can't even pay attention long enough to read the section on the ruins in the guidebooks.
Palenque is awesome. The setting in the jungle makes all the difference. They have uncovered and semi-restored tall temples for tourists to explore, and left many in a semi-cleared state to give the visitor an idea of what they may have looked like undisturbed. We climbed to the top of the Temple of the Cross and ate our breakfast of pastries and empanadas.
We headed downhill to see the waterfall and other ruins and the museum, and then headed back up to the parking lot. We spent around three hours there, and enjoyed the ride back to the hostel to cool off and dry off our sweaty shirts.
From Palenque, it was a two-hour ride to Villahermosa. The riding becomes much faster once you leave Palenque and head north. It was hot, though, and I accidentally ripped out the wires to my intercom microphone, so I had some helmet time, thinking about stuff going on at work.
The guidebooks have nothing great to say about Villahermosa. We booked a night at the Hotel Maya Tabasco, formerly a Best Western, 40 years ago when it was built. It has an awesome pool and is close to bus station, and we paid $45. We walked to the Oxxo and spent the rest of the afternoon by the pool, listening to tunes, and sipping drinks and eating chips. We need more days like this!
In the evening, we walked around the neighborhood and discovered a Chedraui a block away and bought some more baked goods. We had an early night because we were flying out at 6:30 am in the morning.
Brand new tuk tuk
This 4 L bottle of water at Chedraui costs the same as a 1 L at oxxo 10 pesos!

Day 46 to Gulfport, 8 miles on bike
We had a 4 am wake up and got on the bike by 5 am just in time for the mosquitoes to start harassing us. The airport was only a 15-minute ride in the dark. More mozzies attacked while we changed in the parking lot. Parking will be 180 pesos/day again, but we are getting more comfortable with keeping the bike at airports. See you next week!

Day 47 to Isla Aguada, 139 miles on bike
We had another 6:30 am flight out of Gulfport, but we made it to Villahermosa at 2:30 pm. It was drizzling when we arrived. Not sure what to do, we grabbed our cases off the bike, and went back into the airport to change and organize our stuff. When we came out, the rain had stopped. Surely this was a sign! Instead of staying in Villahermosa another night, we decided to head to the coast and camp at Isla Aguada, three hours away!
Packing more, with camping gear in the duffel bag
The ride was flat and fast. The surrounding was lush and green with lots of water around. We filled up the bike in Cuidad del Carmen filled up at the Oxxo for basic essentials. As it turns out, there is a small Oxxo at Isla Aguada.
By the time we got there, it was dark. Freedom Shores is on the right hand side coming off the bridge, on the inlet to the lagoon. There was no one else there, but Thelma, the owner, came out to show us a spot to camp. She recommended under the palapa because it was windy and branches might fall on our tent. It was 300 pesos a night, which seemed a bit steep for camping, but it is a nice enough place. I asked for the wifi password three or four times and each time she said yes she would get it to me, but in the end she disappeared and never gave it to us (even when we were in the office). We also asked for a towel and she responded, you dont have a towel?! How do you live? Yeah, so it was no surprise to me that she was a schoolteacher, and probably a cranky one at that. No matter, we showered with a sarong and handkerchief to dry off. Thanks, Thelma, you are a gem and a perfect host!
We are headed to the beach this week and wanted to take advantage of opportunities to beach camp, so we brought a tent, a couple pads, and thin sleeping bags (55 F).
Basic essentials
We went out to get some tacos. When I pulled up to the taco stand around the corner, I asked how much tacos were, and they said 15 pesos, so we moved on. Haha. We ended up near the toll booth and had some tacos, tortas, and mystery soup called mondongo. It is made of bits of meat and stomach lining. It actually is quite bland. The tacos were 8 and the tortas were 25. I love it when I ask how much something costs, they have to ask el jefe to see how much they want to charge me.
These were delicious!

Day 48 to Piste, 286 miles on bike
We woke up around 7am with the sounds of fishermen in boats.
Hot water!
We had a slow start, enjoying the view, and deciding how far to ride that day.
We eventually packed up and headed out in the beautiful clear weather towards Campeche.
The city of Campeche is right on the coast and has a colorful pastel-painted old walled city.
The guidebooks say it was often raided by pirates hence the wall and 2 forts alongside it. We stopped and had a sandwich for lunch before heading back up the road towards Merida.
We had been to Merida four years ago, and had visited Chichen Itza, but did not get to swim in the Ik Kil Cenote, which was across the street from our hotel, Hotel Dolores Alba. The wife wanted to go swim there this time. We initially tried an ecolodge before Piste, but it didnt look too inviting and had no sign, and it was questionable whether it was even open. We ended going to the Dolores Alba. The front desk wanted 800 pesos, and the price on hotels.com was cheaper, so we booked it online. We actually rode back to town (no cell signal at the hotel) to book the place. While we were there, the wife went to the Oxxo to buy some Fresca and Doritos. She didnt have her motojacket on, because it was so hot, and her motopants dont have pockets, so she put the wallet on one of the cases, and then we rode off. It wasnt until I tried to check in that she said, I hope you have the wallet. And it turns out I didnt so we immediately went back to town and rode around and circled and couldnt find it. We went back to the hotel and I got on skype and called the credit card company and cancelled the card. It already had 3 charges for small amounts from the local grocery stores that I didnt make. And we only had $20 in the wallet and my expired drivers license. It was no big loss, and a cheap lesson.
This is the last time we saw the red wallet in the wifes hands.
Trying to cancel credit card on skype.
Credit card canceled, we finally dipped into the pool at the hotel, but the sun had already set.
There are two pools one with natural limestone rock and the other a normal pool. The water was cool and the mozzies were coming out, so we just cleaned up and headed out for dinner. The wife was pissed about the wallet, especially when we passed by the Super Willys market when the charges had occurred. We had some nice Yucatan food.
The menu had no prices, which was a sure sign we were in a tourist area! We had some nice lime soup at Coox Hanal in Mexico City, and they had lime soup here! The Cochinita Pibil was as flavorless as it was there!
So I just had flautas which were great!
And the soup was still very good.
There was a gastronomic festival going on but there were not too many entries. They played musical chairs for some kids and there was one kid who was blazing fast running back to the chairs. He would have won in the end if he had gotten the directions correct. (he had to sit at a different spot at the end, which he didnt do).

Nesterov is a massive liability defensively but he makes up for it with his offense. And Zadorov is way better than the likes of Koledov or Vasilevski at the very least..... I can see Yakimov left off because he is a younger guy but not Zlobin, no way. Take him over Kapustin any day of the week. He plays a clever game, I feel the team has a lot of speedsters and snipers but who is the premier playmaker? Zlobin is very good in that department and is responsible defensively as well.... I don't trust Slepyshev yet, I don't either, not going to be at the same form as the other guys.
I think Varnakov was talking about maturity of players and ability to adjust tactically and follow specific directions (like the Pros). 2 years makes a huge difference, and despite the skill set and size this defense his choices make sense. Someone like Koledov has that much more experience at a pro level following a specific game assignment, than someone who might be bigger and better but has trouble adjusting.. When the team is too young it'll be susceptible to crazy rollercoaster games like we saw last year with Canada. This year it should be more stable and the ability to hold a lead too.

Dropbox updated its iPhone and iPad app today bringing a list of new features to the mobile cloud app. Here are the changes Dropbox points out in the update:
• Reorder your Favorites list with a simple touch and hold
• Set up Dropbox on your computer using your camera
• Dropbox now remembers recent locations when importing files
• Accessibility improvements
• Support for additional languages: Danish, Dutch, Swedish, and Thai
• Lots of bug fixes and usability improvements
That second feature seemed somewhat vague from the description but interesting so we decided to test it out.
Using the latest version of Dropbox, users can now set up the Dropbox desktop app on a new computer by scanning a QR code in the web browser with the iPhone camera. Below you can see part of the process…
The idea is you can scan the QR code on Dropbox.com/connect using the Dropbox iPhone app to prompt your computer to download and login to your account automating the process.
In my case, however, I wasn't immediately able to pass step two (using a MacBook Air and iPhone 5s), so it might still be easier to set up Dropbox the manual way.
At any rate, it's a cool feature if it works for most people that could make setting up Dropbox much easier and it's available today in the latest version of Dropbox in the App Store.

i got to the scan stage started downloading it and then at the end it says im of line when clearly i am not so frustrating why does it do this grrrrrrr

A marvelous vegetarian harira sampled at the United Nations' Delegates Dining Room--prepared by chef Mohamed Boussaoud, from the hotel La Mamounia in Marrakech--provided the inspiration for the following chicken-based version. In Morocco this soup is often made with lamb as well as chicken and is traditionally served after sundown during the month of Ramadan to break each day's fast.
YIELD: Makes about 12 cups
In a heavy kettle (at least 5 quarts) simmer chicken in broth and water 17 to 20 minutes, or until chicken is just cooked through, and transfer chicken with a slotted spoon to a cutting board. Add to kettle tomatoes, saffron, onions, chick-peas, rice, and lentils and simmer, covered, 30 minutes, or until lentils are tender. Shred chicken, discarding skin and bones, and stir into soup with salt and pepper to taste. Soup may be prepared 4 days ahead (cool uncovered before chilling covered).
In a bowl soak chick-peas in water to cover by 2 inches overnight or quick-soak (procedure follows) and drain.
To Cook Dried Chickpeas:
In a saucepan combine drained chick-peas and water to cover by 2 inches and simmer, covered partially, 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until tender. Drain chick-peas.
To make 2 cups cooked chick-peas begin with a scant cup dried.
Just before serving, stir in coriander and parsley.
To Quick-Soak Dried Beans
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less but requires additional unattended time.
In a large saucepan combine dried beans, picked over and rinsed, with triple their volume of cold water. Bring the water to a boil and cook beans, uncovered, over moderate heat 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let beans soak 1 hour.

Paris with van
I will be driving from Germany to Paris in a rental van which we have rented for the family of six. We plan to round trip from Trier to Paris (3 nights) then go to Normandy with van for three nights before returning to Trier.
The time will be mid March. Any ideas of lodging either in PARIS or Versailles(plan is 1/2 day visit on way to Normandy)? Any suggestions on where to park auto if we find hotel or apartment for three nights in Paris? We explored trains and partial auto rental for Normandy, but price for two day van rental is nearly same price for total auto rental in Germany for the nine nights in Europe. Thanks

2012 SEC Media Days
Predictions & More
CFN SEC Preview to come next week
Will Alabama win its third national title in four seasons? Years of superior recruiting have kept the shelves stocked with next-level talent and terrific fill-ins for some key losses, but there isn't another Heisman-caliber running back like Trent Richardson or Mark Ingram ready to take over on offense, while the defensive back seven loses its heart-and-soul leaders with safety Mark Barron and linebackers Dont'a Hightower and Courtney Upshaw off to the NFL. The passing game should be stronger and the defense will still be phenomenal thanks to a brick wall of a line, but the schedule might be too tough to get through unscathed. The Tide will be better than just about everyone on the slate, but with road games at Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee and LSU to go along with nasty dates against Michigan, Mississippi State, Texas A&M and Auburn, just winning the SEC title will be hard enough. Of course, as the team proved last season, winning a conference championship, or even the division title, doesn't necessarily matter.
Has Arkansas really been able to move on after the Bobby Petrino drama? Considering there's enough talent returning to make a run at the conference title and possible the BCS championship, losing an elite college football coach would normally cause a near-riot at an SEC school, or at least a major panic. But in the post-Penn State days with no program wanting to look like it's out of control, there wasn't much of a peep from a manic fan base ready to see its team take the next step forward. John L. Smith is a veteran coach who knows how to get an offense moving, and he shouldn't have any problems getting big numbers out of an attack with possible first-round NFL draft pick Tyler Wilson at quarterback and bruising running back Knile Davis back from a broken ankle. Getting Alabama and LSU at home could make all the difference, but the four road games – Texas A&M, Auburn, South Carolina and Mississippi State – are all going to be tough to get through.
Was 2010 a fluke, or is Auburn close to being back at a national championship level? It's a little of both. Cam Newton was a transcendent, once-in-a-program talent who'll never be replaced. However, 2011 was supposed to be a rebuilding season both sides of the ball, and now the payoff should come on defense with pass rushing terror Corey Lemonier leading a loaded front four and with five good starters returning to the back seven. The concern once again will be the quarterback situation with last year's star recruit Kiehl Frazier battling with veteran Clint Moseley for the job, but the receiving corps is solid and tight end Philip Lutzinkirchen appears ready to break out. The running game, despite the loss of 2011 BCS championship star Michael Dyer to Arkansas State, should be fine behind a very talented, but very young, line. The Tigers will be better in 2012, but they should be fantastic in 2013.
Did Urban Meyer leave a sinking ship two years ago, or was Will Muschamp that lousy in his first year as the head man? Meyer's 2010 recruiting class was considered to be among the most talented in decades, so the prospects, athletes and players were in place last year to be far better than 105th in the nation in total offense on the way to a 7-6 record. The nation's No. 8 defense was outstanding, and it's about to be better with ten returning starters not including the best player on the lot, end Ronald Powell who suffered a torn ACL in the spring. Muschamp made his name as a defensive coach, but can the offense start to move the ball? 2011 super-recruit Jeff Driskel and Jacoby Brissett are locked in a tough quarterback derby with the near-future of the franchise resting on which one is named the starter. At least 100 other head coaches would love to have the four-and-five star talents Florida will boast coming into the season, but now Muschamp and his staff have to show they can produce.
After going 10-4 and winning the SEC East, is Georgia any closer to winning a national championship? It seemed like everything was in place this year for the Dawgs to finally get over the hump. Star linebacker Jarvis Jones put off the NFL for an extra year to lead a deep and talented defense, while Aaron Murray appears to be ready to step up and become a special quarterback who can take the program to another level. Throw in a second straight year of missing LSU, Arkansas and Alabama in the regular season, and there was plenty of excitement until team couldn't stop making headlines for the wrong reasons. Top running back Isaiah Crowell was kicked off the team after being arrested on felony weapons charges, and three of the top defensive backs will be suspended for part of the season for a variety of off-the-field issues. The Bulldogs are good enough and the schedule works out well enough to win the East again, but they're not in the national championship class of Alabama and LSU.
Is there any hope of Kentucky becoming a factor in the SEC East race any time soon? The glass is half empty: the Wildcats finished 118th in the nation in total offense and 117th in scoring. The glass is half full: even though the offense did absolutely nothing for long stretches, the team still finished 5-7 and was close to getting to six wins and a bowl game. And that's where the bar is set for a Kentucky football program that's now more in the shadow of the basketball team than ever. It was a young offense last season that returns loaded with veterans, but the experience has to start translating into production. There are athletes across the board, but it's not a deep team and it's going to have to catch a few teams napping to get to a bowl.
Is there a more important player in college football this season than Zach Mettenberger? The Tigers didn't need a high-powered passing game to win the SEC title and get to the BCS championship, but it needed something extra in the loss to Alabama. The offense might have only come up with a pedestrian 355 yards per game, but take out the two games against the Tide and the team averaged 41 points per game. The Tiger running game didn't work when Alabama defense loaded up to stop it, and now it's up to Mettenberger to be the type of quarterback who can make defenses pay and to add more balance to the attack. Everything else is in place to be the No. 1 team in America with a dominant offensive line, an NFL-caliber defensive front, arguably the best special teams in college football and speed, speed, speed all across the board. Unlike last year's quarterback pair of Jordan Jefferson and Jarrett Lee, Mettenberger is a pro-style passer with next-level size and a big-time arm, and while he doesn't have to bomb away for the Tigers to be great, he has to be solid against Alabama on November 3rd and consistent the rest of the time to win the 14th game this time around.
Mississippi State
Can the Bulldogs beat the killer teams in the SEC West? Over the last four years, MSU has gone 1-15 against Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn and LSU, with the lone bright spot coming against a mediocre Hog team in 2008. The Bulldogs are usually able to beat the teams they're supposed to, and they're not getting embarrassed on a regular basis in the losses, but for Dan Mullen to make the program something more than a very good also-ran it's going to take more than just coming close. The key is for quarterback Tyler Russell to occasionally be the best player on the field and to hold up well against the biggest of big boys. He has a good receiving corps to work with and the defense should be strong enough to bail the offense out of a few jams, but the offense scored a total of 52 points in losses to LSU, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Arkansas and has to prove it can produce against the stronger defenses.
How is Missouri going to succeed in the SEC when it couldn't win the Big 12 title? Mizzou will succeed, but it might not be at a championship level until the lines get a little bigger and a few more playmakers start coming in like the nation's No. 1 recruit, wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham. It's not like the Tigers haven't been able to play with some of the best teams in the country, but they haven't been consistent. Unfortunately, up-and-down SEC teams end up going to minor bowls. Being in the SEC East instead of the West will be a big help early on, and the attack that was 12th in the nation and averaged 476 yards per game should provide a bit of a jolt to an SEC that's been offensively challenged over the last few years. However, with road games at South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee and Texas A&M, and with Georgia and Alabama coming to Columbia, it might be a little bit of a rocky first season in the new league unless the defense – unlike last season - can be better against the stronger quarterbacks and the offense can bring the A effort week-in-and-week-out.
Ole Miss
Can Hugh Freeze come up with a big turnaround right away? It seems like a lifetime ago, but the 2008 Rebels handed eventual national champion Florida its only loss – prompting the Tim Tebow "Promise" speech – finishing 9-4 on the way to being one of the hot teams going into 2010. That all went bye-bye with an opening day loss to Jacksonville State and a 6-18 record over the last two seasons, but yes, there has been recent success at Oxford. There's no chance of competing for the SEC West title this season, but there's depth, athleticism and enough skill to be a spoiler and a surprise with a few big breaks. There's no pressure and there's still enough youth on both side of the ball to use this year as a building block with a payoff to come, but first there has to be something positive to get excited about. No one is expecting miracles, but Freeze has to get the team that didn't show up late in the year to try hard and each and every week. One big upset win could be just the catalyst needed to build around for 2013 and beyond.
South Carolina
Really, was 2011 the greatest season in South Carolina football history, and can 2012 be even better? Yes and yes. The school-best 11-win campaign was just the fourth season in over 100 years with more than eight wins, but it was also the second in a row after winning nine games in 2010. Fortunately for long-suffering Gamecock fans who have been among the most loyal in college football through thick and thin, the last two seasons appear to be just the beginning with Steve Spurrier amassing great recruiting class after great recruiting class to put the team on par with any in the SEC. The defense that finished third in the nation behind Alabama and LSU should be every bit as dominant led by Devin Taylor and Jadeveon Clowney, the most dangerous defensive end pair in America. With star running back Marcus Lattimore returning from a knee injury, the offense should be just good enough to get by while the defense does most of the work. Unfortunately, even though this is Spurrier's strongest Gamecock team yet, with back-to-back road games against LSU and Florida after a date with Georgia, and with Arkansas to deal with from the West, it will be a fight to improve upon last year's record.
Can a big passing game be enough to surprise in the SEC East? The program has been down over the last few years, but to go 5-7 and blow a chance at a bowl game by losing to Kentucky – and scoring seven points or fewer in five of the final seven games – wasn't okay no matter what the excuses. However, things might quickly change with 19 returning starters including ten on offense. The team started struggling when quarterback Tyler Bray was lost for six games with an injured thumb and star receiver Justin Hunter went down with a torn ACL, but now all the parts are back including leading receiver Da'Rick Rogers for what should be one of the SEC's most dangerous passing games. Big division games against Georgia and South Carolina are on the road, and Alabama is coming to Knoxville, but unlike last season, the Vols should have the firepower to keep up with anyone.
Texas A&M
Will the change of scenery be a major positive? Out from the shadow of Texas, A&M can form its own identity in a new league with a fresh start and a different attitude. There might be some key personnel changes with new head coach Kevin Sumlin taking over and with quarterback Ryan Tannehill playing for the Miami Dolphins, but the offense that averaged over 490 yards per game will be every bit as dangerous helped mostly be a terrific line that should hold its own against top SEC defenses. The defense that led the nation in sacks and was third in tackles for loss should be every bit as nasty with pass rushing terror Sean Porter leading a fast and athletic bunch of veterans. Five of last year's six losses came by a touchdown or less, with four of those coming by four points or fewer, and the 2012 team should be stronger. If it can win the close games and can hold up during a brutal midseason stretch of four road games in five dates, this could be a dangerous spoiler in the even-better SEC West.
Could it be possible that Vanderbilt was even better than its somewhat shocking 6-7 record? The Commodores didn't come up with any big wins over any top teams, but it pushed Georgia in a five-point loss, had Arkansas and Florida on the ropes, and lost to Tennessee in overtime. The final five of the seven losses were by a touchdown or less mostly due to a defense that was rock-solid against the pass and an offense that seemed to find its stride over the second half of the year. Jordan Rodgers – brother of Green Bay star, Aaron Rodgers – has to be far more consistent and accurate and the offensive line might not be good enough to protect him against South Carolina's fearsome pass rush in the opener or against Georgia and Florida, but head coach James Franklin doesn't seem to care about any excuses or concerns. He's a full steam ahead, no-nonsense true believer who actually thinks Vanderbilt can become a regular player in the SEC East. With no Alabama, Arkansas or LSU to seal with from the West, and with South Carolina, Florida and Tennessee at home, he might just be right.

Hey all -
I'm hoping someone on here can give me some more information on all this.
My daughter is two and a half weeks old and up until about two days ago, it was all smooth sailing. I am breastfeeding her and she's been eating fine and gaining weight normally.
Two days ago she started getting extremely fussy, crying until she's hoarse, she vomited up something with bloody mucus and then this morning I found a little blood in her diaper as well. Last nite after an excessively fussy episode, we took her for a car ride which put her to sleep. But then she slept for SIX hours - and would've kept on sleeping if no one had woken her up! This also meant she went almost eight hours between feedings - and she definately didn't nurse like she hadn't eaten in eight hours when she finally did eat.
Anyways, we took her to the pediatrician this morning and she told us that its most likely an allergy to milk and/or soy and that I should eliminate it from my diet for a few weeks and see if it helps.
My biggest question is this - if it is a food allergy, why isn't she screaming after *every* feeding? I have been eating dairy all along, but never an excessive amount (i.e. cheese and butter in foods and an ocassional bowl of ice cream, but no glasses of milk). So far today things have been okay (cross your fingers!!) and she's eaten several times.
Any info/advice would be greatly appreciated.

They did so to start their own companies, raise venture capital, start or join a movement, or pursue philanthropy rather than self-interest.
I'm comparing anecdote for anecdote, which proves nothing in my backyard – a court of law. Nor should it serve to make women feel worse about themselves than the culture already makes them feel.
The statistical evidence, social science research and history of commerce (not to mention all of human history) point to two sources that retard or block women's rise to leadership locally and on the world stage.
Number One.
Our inability to control our reproductive cycle, a fight we continue to wage against forces worldwide that would still keep us barefoot and pregnant.
These obstacles would keep us out of combat even if we're a finely tuned fighting machine unlike the majority of American men who are out of shape, overweight and dangerous to themselves and others when in possession of a firearm.
Number Two.
A commercial workplace and political/social culture that was created at a time when we had no control over our reproductive cycle and hence spent our otherwise commercially productive years pregnant or nursing.
What we don't need is more superwomen.
What we do need is a commercial culture that lets women be as mediocre as men and still climb to the top of the economic ladder.
And that over-cautious trait?
It just might have prevented the recklessness that led to the Great Recession of 2008.
But don't fool yourself.
Women are doing this thing for ourselves and for one another. If the guys – or the institutions they inhabit – want to drop in running beside us, we welcome them with open arms.
Otherwise, just stay out of our way because we've got things to do.

European 2013 Coal Increases Most in Month on Barclays Outlook
Dec. 21 (Bloomberg) -- European coal for 2013 delivery increased the most in almost a month after Barclays Plc raised its forecast for the fuel.
Thermal coal for delivery next year to Amsterdam, Rotterdam or Antwerp added 1.4 percent to $96.60 a metric ton as of 12:30 p.m. in London, according to broker data compiled by Bloomberg. That's the contract's biggest advance since Nov. 23.
Coal in northwest Europe may average $95 a ton next year, 2.2 percent higher than the bank's previous estimate, as new power plants add some 4 million tons to German demand, Trevor Sikorski, an analyst at the bank in London, said today in an e-mailed research note.
Bloomberg tracks information from ICAP Plc, GFI Group Inc., Marex Spectron Group Ltd., Credit Suisse Group AG, IHS McCloskey, Tradition Financial Services and Tullett Prebon Plc.

text: The Protex wiki last edited by trayc27 on 11/27/14 06:47PM View full history Storylineputting on a good face for the worldProtex is a White Martian and leader of the super hero team, Hyperclan. Hyperclan arrived on Earth claiming to be super-powered survivors of a world destroyed by the negligence of their people. They set out to "fix" the world, first by turning the Sahara Desert into a lush paradise. Hyperclan quickly grew in popularity and Protex was even named the "Sexiest Man in the Universe." When the Justice League protested the terraforming of the Sahara and the public execution of supercriminals, they actually lost popularity.Hyperclan was later revealed to be an attempt to undermine the credibility of the League while at the same time preparing for an invasion of earth. Hyperclan set up mind controlling devices to enslave the humans and had the Justice League satellite destroyed. The Justice League set out to destroy the mind controlling devices while J'onn J'onzz set up a secret meeting with Protex. Protex appeals to J'onn's loneliness and asks him to join. Elsewhere, the Justice League is defeated and captured by Hyperclan, Batman is presumed dead, and it seems J'onn has betrayed them. Batman, who is not dead, has deduced that the members of Hyperclan are martians and is able to break into their base and free his team members. The Justice League overcomes their captors and Superman broadcasts across the globe telling the inhabitants of earth not to panic, to defend themselves, and that the invaders are afraid of fire. With the Maritan invasion foiled, J'onn punishes the invaders by going into their minds and making them believe they are human and allows them to live among us.When J'onn made wish not to be lonely, he unwittingly freed the White Martians from their imprisonment, because they were the beings on earth most like him. Protex again lead the Martians working in secret to introduce an alien ion that prevented combustion in the earth's atmosphere, eliminating the ability of the inhabitants of earth to use fire against them again.They also gathered up latent human telepaths and consumed their brains. Protex found, that by doing so they could increase their telepathic abilities and allow it to extend across galaxies. His plan was to create a fortress on earth where they would be invincible from lack of flames and from their safe have conquer galaxies without ever having to leave. They were foiled when J'onn destroyed all the towers emitting the alien ions and lured them into a fight on the moon. Superman, Wonder Woman, and Kyle Rayner pulled the moon towards the earth, causing it to burn up in the atmosphere while magic users protected the earth form any ill effects. Protex and the martians, faced with death from the burning of the moon surrendered and he, and all the white martians, where imprisoned in the Phantom Zone.When J'onn J'onzz overcame his fear of fire and unleashed Fernus. Fernus killed all the white martians to prevent the Justice League from gaining any insight to his history. Protex was likely among the dead.Powers & AbilitiesProtex has all the abilities of a normal White Martian. In addition, all members of Hyperclan are trained soldiers. Super Strength - All Martians have strength levels comparable to Kyptonians and Daxamites that are under the effects of yellow sun radiation. Invulnerability - Protex is granted invulnerability just below that of Kryptonians by his Martian physiology Flight - Martians are capable of self propelled flight Super Speed - Martians have speed similar to Kryptonians. This speed applies to running, flying, processing thoughts, and reacting. Telepathy - All Martians are skilled telepaths, capable of mind reading, illusion casting, limited mind control, and other mental manipulations. Protex used this ability to make Superman think he was under the effects of KryptonitePsi-Spikes - Protex learned to use his mental abilities to create and fire psionic pins that lodge into the central nervous system. Shape-shifting - Martians have a high level of shape shifting ability that stems from complete control over their molecular structure. They can alter their shape, appearance, size, density(to the point where they can move through objects), and even their chemical make up. Regeneration - Protex can heal from nearly any wound almost instantly. Invisibility - Protex is able to utilize his martian abilities to render himself invisible.Martian Vision - Martians projects heat vision-like blasts from their eyes capable of harming Superman.X-ray Vision - J'onn J'onzz described this ability colloquially as ionized particulate matter mapped to a variable density wavepacket. It allows them to see through objects. WeaknessesProtex, like all martians, are weakened by fire.

I was not satisfied at all with the bedside manors. No help when I asked or showed concern for my condition. I was told it will be fine and that I worried too much. Possibly if it was explained better or just show some concern when a patient asks why I can't hear any more. I was able to hear prior and I was assured I would be fine after my operation. I am now almost completely deaf in one ear. I would defiantly NOT recommend Dr Jacques Piche.

My ODD is in 1st. Grade. Her school just started dual immersion so we went for it 'cause an extra language is always useful, right?
Well all the math is in Spanish, and my DD is having a little bit of a hard time. I think it's mostly the Spanish she's having a hard time though, because when we do her hwk she answers all the questions, and I even make up extra problems to make sure she gets it.
Teacher calls today freaking out that my DD is gonna "fail" 1st. grade math, that she doesn't pay attention in class, that she's too flighty and distracted, that she doesn't answer any questions, and all she does is sit there and play with her hair. My DH freaks out at me saying if she fails it's MY fault for not doing more hwk with her. Teacher says I "need to sort it out" as soon as possible.
My DD has come home crying in the past mo or so because her teacher has told her (and other kids) in class that they're too slow with their math.
I'm thinking to just show up to school unnanouced and just watch and see what my DD is really doing, I am planning on talking to her tonight about her hair. But my DH is just upset that the teacher is threatening to fail a first-grader in math, and honestly I'm almost feeling like maybe I should pull my kid from that classroom!

Add a handful of basil and parsley, a few shavings of garlic, salt, pepper, two teaspoons of yogurt and a dash of oil to roti flour / whole wheat flour ( about two and a half cups) to make a dough that will make some flavourful rotis that will leave a fresh aftertaste in your mouth!
Category: Recipes
This recipe is somewhat traditional and yet it has the subtlety and sophistication to merit a place in an international menu.
All you have to do is season finely chopped onions with salt, red chilli powder, cumin powder and coriander powder. I would add quarter a tea-spoon of cumin and coriander and half a tea-spoon of chili powder to one large onion. Add in some caraway seeds too to give it some zing. And a tablespoon or two of gram flour (besan) to give it crunch.
Stuff this mixture into okra that have been washed and whose ends have been chopped. Heat up a skillet, coat with oil, add in some cumin seeds and two or three dried red chilis. Green chilis are fine too. Add in the stuffed okra and stir fry over a medium flame till they brown slightly and become tender. Season the whole okra with salt. Add in a few slivers of ginger.
Serve with rice or rotis. My toddler eats them like finger food.
Even those who have only a passing familiarity with Indian food usually know mattar paneer, a delectable Punjabi dish that is one of the most popular orders in Indian restaurants. Despite its simple format, the perfect balance of the savory (spices) and the sweet (peas) elevates mattar paneer to the level of supremely successful comfort food.
Quite naturally, I HEART MP. However, as someone trying to make healthy food choices, I have a beef with it — It is heavy and calorific, thanks to the cottage cheese. So, I took a cue from my mother-in-law an started swapping the cheese with tofu and the result has been fabulous! Also, as a new mom with limited time on my hands, I stir-fry my way through most of the dish and use ready-made spice mixture (garam masala), making the process simple and easy.
To make Mattar Tofu for four, you will need:
Two 350 g extra firm tofu packets
Two handfuls of fresh or frozen peas
Three Roma tomatoes or equivalent, chopped
One large onion, sliced
One tablespoon of ginger garlic paste
Canola or another neutral tasting oil
A pinch of chili flakes or two dried chilies (optional)
A tablespoon of chili powder
A tablespoon of coriander powder
A pinch of turmeric
Garam masala
Two tablespoons of cream / coconut milk / cashew paste
Method of Preparation:
Coat the bottom of the skillet with oil and heat. Cut the tofu into cubes and stir fry until golden brown. While they are getting done, add in the chili flakes / broken dried red chilies, ginger-garlic, chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric and a pinch of salt.
Once the tofu cubes turn golden brown, add in the sliced onions.
Once the onions turn translucent, add in the chopped tomatoes. Cover if you'd like the curry to have some sauce. Mash a few tomatoes with the ladle if you' like. While the tomatoes cook down, add in the peas and stir.
Once all the vegetables cook, stir in the cream / coconut milk / cashew paste. Taste and adjust for salt and spice. Serve warm with rice or roti.
As most of you may already know, tomato vermicelli soup is popular in the Middle East. I ate it for the first time at a Lebanese restaurant and loved it. Since then, I started making it at home. Of course, I gave it my on spin and came up with this hearty flavourful vegan version that is perfect for a cold night or a light lunch. Here is the recipe —
For four meal-sized servings,
You will need:
Four large tomatoes
Two chopped pods of garlic
An onion, sliced
Half a packet of vermicelli, cooked
One small can of cooked chickpeas
Chili powder
Cumin powder
Chopped coriander leaves (cilantro)
A dash of lime
Method of Preparation:
Cook the vermicelli as per the instructions on the packet. Chop it into long pieces and set it aside. Put a skillet on medium heat. Coat the bottom with canola or vegetable oil. Do a rough chop on the tomatoes and garlic and cook them in the pan with a lid on. Once they get done, let them cool a little and puree them. Add two tablespoons of oil in the skillet and sauté the onion slices, add in the puree. Add water to reach the desired consistency. Add in the chickpeas. Add in half a teaspoon of cumin powder. Season with salt and chili powder. Add in a dash of lemon and garnish with chopped cilantro!
Being a savory brunch kinda girl, I have often leaned on bacon, sausage and pulled pork to rescue me from depression, hangovers over just plain old hunger. So, while a salad may qualify as a perfect vegetarian brunch option for many an evolved being, I need something more robust to take the place of the piggy!
And, at least six times out of ten, my go-to bold flavor is Indian. As a wink to the countless hashes I have had all over North America and to the flavours of my childhood, I present this spicy curried chickpea sweet potato hash. To feed two people,
You will need:
One large sweet potato
3/4 cup of cooked chickpeas
One pod of garlic, chopped
A few slices of onion
A generous handful of baby spinach (optional)
Half a small tomato (chopped)
A handful of chopped coriander leaves aka cilantro
A teaspoon of chili powder
3/4 teaspoon of cumin powder
3/4 teaspoon of coriander powder
salt to taste
Two eggs
Two -three tablespoons of oil
Lemon juice – one tablespoon or so
Method of preparation:
Place a skillet on a burner, pour in the oil and heat. Peel the sweet potato and cut it into cubes. Stir fry them in the hot oil. Feel free to use a lid to aid quick cooking. While the sweet potatoes cook and become crisp, add in the garlic and onion slices. Stir once in a while. Once these veggies get done, add in the spinach, tomato and the chickpeas. Regulate the sweet potato-chickpea ratio if you like. Season with salt, cumin and coriander powders and lime / lemon. Add in half the chili powder, mix and taste. Add more chili powder to achieve the desired level of heat.
Heat an omelette pan. Add in a tablespoon of oil. Crack two eggs and fry them.
Serve the hash warm with a nice bright egg on top!
For most of us, what makes home-cooking sustainable are easy-to-follow templates. One such time-tested format is an egg and veggie scramble. While the prospect of scrambled eggs may tempt you into dialing those buttons and ordering that pizza, remember that an egg and veggie scramble can be dressed up easily.
Season generously, play mix and match with different veggies / frozen veggie medleys and add some store-bought or home-made sauce, and you have a decent chance of elevating this grandma's dish into something you would happily pay 14 dollars for at a fancy brunch!
Here's one such quick scramble recipe I can vouch for:
Beat two eggs and place them aside. Put two tablespoons of olive oil in a pan and heat it. Add chilli flakes (and crushed garlic if you wish) to the oil. Open a packet of frozen veggies and add a generous handful to the pan. Open the fridge and see if there are any other veggies you'd like to add — a few leaves of baby spinach perhaps, or a leaf of bok choy or a little shredded red cabbage. Feel free to add in herbs or cooked legumes.
Stir fry the veggies. When they are 80 per cent done, season them with salt and move them to the side of the pan and add the egg on the other side. Cover the pan. Once the eggs form a firm layer break them and scramble the mix. Add in a little store-bought or home-made pasta sauce or some tomato puree. Add in cheese if you like. Stop heating and serve with bread.
You could use pesto instead of a tomato-based sauce and expect equally fabulous results!
I haven't visited Japan yet. But from what I've seen in Japanese bars or izakayas, Japanese love their edamame steamed and salted. Over the past few years, I have incorporated this preparation of these green soybeans in my snacking routine and have been very impressed with the results. Not only does a small packet full full of frozen edamame pods, yield a filling meal, it is also a splendid source of vegetarian protien! And needless to say steamed and salted edamame are yummy to the point of being addictive.
Making your own Lean Edamame Snack:
Buy frozen edamame pods either at an Asian store or a mainstream market. I buy mine at CostCo because of the quality. Steam the pods till they cook but retain their green-ness. Be careful not to overcook.
Salt the pods on the outside. I put the pods in my mouth and drag the seeds in with a sweeping motion involving my teeth.
If you are an early-riser, who eats a light breakfast, a mid-morning snack could be the difference between staying on course on a healthy diet and stuffing yourself at lunch. That said, so as to not be counter-productive, snacking has to be healthy.
Keep in mind that for the implementation of a practical snacking regimen, snacks have to be not just healthy but also portable, affordable, non-messy and easily available. Here are some of my faves:
1. A handful of raw almonds: Raw almonds are called a "superfood" for several reasons. Rich in protein and fibre, almonds offer an instant energy boost. These yummy nuts have high contents of manganese and vitamin E. While manganese is essential for healthy bones and metabolism, vitamin E allows for skin development and supports heart health. When paired with a low-calorie nutrient-rich diet, almonds can also help lower cholesterol.
2. Dark chocolate and fruit: Pick a dark chocolate with 75% or higher cocoa content and pair it with blueberries, pomgranate or orange and you got yourself nutrient-rich snack worthy of the gods. Both dark chocolate and several fruits are loaded my the goodness of antioxidants and other nutrients that make this unique pairing not just delectable but also power-packed.
3. Carrot sticks: Do you give a growling stomach the carrot or the stick? How about carrot sticks? Peel and cut up some carrot sticks or buy baby carrots and snack on them with a Bugs Bunny-like zeal.
Carrots are best known for their beta-carotene content. While they can be an excellent source of this phytonutrient, carrots also contain an impressive combination of other phytonutrients such as other carotenoids, hydroxycinnamic acids, anthocyanins (in the case of purple and red carrots) and polyacetylenes.
Carrots are also an excellent source of vitamin A (in the form of carotenoids). They are also a very good source of immune-supportive vitamin C, bone-building vitamin K and heart-healthy dietary fiber and potassium. They are also a good source of heart-healthy vitamin B6, niacin, folate, and vitamin E; enzyme-supporting manganese and molybdenum; and energy-supportive vitamin B1, vitamin B2 and phosphorus.
4. Now-fat yogurt: If you area dairy lover, non-fat yogurt is an ideal low-calorie snack for you. Other than being a great source of protein and calcium, non-fat yogurt also promotes a healthy gastrointestinal system and prevents conditions like diarrhea.
A note of caution: While picking a non-fat yogurt, tryto avoid brands that contain sweetened fruit or granola as they add to the calories.
5. Fruit juices and fruit cups: This is an affordable and easy snack that ensures that you get all the energy and vitamins you need to have a fuitful day :)!

Growing up in India, Black Eyed Peas to me was well… the American hip hop group. As much as I enjoyed grooving to "Don't Phunk with My Heart" and "Pump It", I love the lentil, that I started eating when I moved to Washington DC seven years ago, WAY MORE!
Of course black-eyed peas on their own are awesome. But give them the curry treatment given to chickpeas and red kidney beans and they become even more awesome! And remember, while the curry is ideally made with all the ingredients listed, missing a spice or two will not make that much of a difference.
To make the black-eyed peas curry that serves at least five,
You Will Need:
500 g of black-eyed peas, soaked overnight and cooked
(or canned, cooked)
Two medium-sized onions, chopped fine
Four medium-sized tomatoes, chopped fine
Two fat pods of garlic, crushed
One-inch cube of ginger, crushed
Canola oil to coat the bottom of skillet
Indian spices — Cumin seeds, bay leaf, two cloves,
one stick of cinnamon and two pods of cardamom
Spice powders — Red chilli powder and turmeric powder
Salt to taste
Chopped cilantro (coriander leaves) — for garnish
Chopped green onions — for garnish
One and a half cups of black-eyed peas stock / water
Method of Preparation:
Coat the skillet with oil and heat. Add in the spices. Once an aroma develops, add in the ginger and garlic pastes and chopped onion. Stir occasionally and let the onions turn translucent and eventually brown slightly.
Then, add in the chopped tomatoes and cook them down to form a sauce. Add in a teaspoon of chilli powder, a pinch of turmeric and a little salt. Add in just the cooked black-eyed peas. Then, measure one and a half cups of the water the peas were cooked in, and add it in. If you do not have the black-eyed peas stock, add an equivalent amount of water. Let the curry cook for a few minutes. Use a lid if you like.
Once the desired consistency is reached, adjust for salt and chilli powder. Garnish with chopped cilantro (coriander leaves) and chopped green onions.
Serve warm with rice or flat breads.
Black-eyed peas make an excellent source of protein for vegans such as me. Here are the details:

What do you do on a lazy day? Order? I do that too but there are times when you want to eat homemade food but something you can quickly throw together.
This is what I did the other day:
I cut up a packet of firm tofu and stir fried it in canola oil. Before adding tofu cubes to the oil, I added in some dried red chilies, a little sesame and chopped garlic. Once these cooked a bit, I added in the tofu. Once the tofu browned a bit, I added in generous amounts of cut cabbage and a little bok choy. I seasoned the stir fry with salt and served it warm with vermicelli.
Tofu stir fries are simply awesome, not just because they are delicious but also because they are super healthy. You could pick different vegetable and different seasoning every single time, making tofu the perfect canvas to showcase your creativity as a cook.
Why Tofu is Awesome:
1. Protein vs. calories: 100 calorie serving of tofu contains 11 grams of protein. By comparison, 100 calories of ground beef provides 8.9 grams of protein, and a 100 calorie serving of cheese contains 6.2 grams.
2. Calories in tofu: Half cup of raw firm tofu contains 94 calories. By comparison, 4 oz ground beef contains 331 calories, 1/2 cup of 2% milk has 60 calories and 4 oz of cheese packs 320 calories.
3. Fat and cholesterol content in tofu: Half cup serving of raw firm tofu contains 5 grams of fat. Low fat tofu is also commercially available, and contains 1.5 grams of fat per serving. 4 oz of beef packs 15 grams of fat, and one egg contains 5.5 grams of fat.
Like all plant-based foods, Tofu is a cholesterol-free food. By comparison, half cup of 2% milk contains 9 mg of cholesterol, 4 oz of fish contains 75-100 mg of cholesterol and 4 oz ground beef contains about 113 mg cholesterol.
4. Calcium: Half cup of tofu contains about 227 mg of calcium or about 22% of the Recommended Daily Amount. The calcium content may vary slightly depending on the brand and the process of manufacturing.

41 year old man | Toronto, ON, CAN | Seeking women 30-40 within 50 miles of Markham, ON
Active within 24 hours
It all starts with a simple hello :)
Tired of reading the same old? Let's try something different...... It was a beautiful summers day in Toronto and I was doing some shopping on King Street. As I crossed over a side street I saw a charming little cafe. I walked past the patio section and noticed this lady out of the corner of my eye, giving me this captivating smile as I walked by her. I purchased an ice latte (over priced of course) and I walked out only to see her stretching her legs as she pushed out a chair with that same beautiful smile asking me to join her. I sat down feeling both puzzled and excited as we made our introductions. We then ordered some drinks and started to indulge in an intriguing conversation. Later in the conversation she stopped and asked me a question. "If we were to go on a date and we find that our paths heading in the same direction, what would I expect from you in the future?" I replied. "Humm, let's see. Sometimes I forget to put the cap back on the toothpaste. I do use extra fabric softener when I do laundry. I'm a pretty good cook and I love to use my dishwasher every day. I also enjoy sleeping in on weekends. As a person, I'm not without faults. But I'm a man that has learned from my mistakes and I'm very proud of that since it's an achievement most people can't claim. I'm compassionate toward others and very generous. I believe that compromise and communication is a vital component to any successful relationship. I can't stress enough my beliefs in being trustworthy and honest. I'm definitely a man that takes pride in his appearance and don't believe in letting himself go with age. I'm spontaneous and fun. I'm a big kid at heart and I try not to take things so seriously. Laughter is a very important key to longevity. I love to joke and play around, but I do know when it's time to be serious. I enjoy exploring our city looking for new hot spots and great restaurants. Traveling a few times a year is something I would like to start doing. I do understand that couples will have differences from time to time, but I'm not the kind of man who liked to go to bed upset. I'm hoping one day to be blessed with children of my own, but if it's not in the cards I can live with that. I believe a friendship is the best foundation to any relationship. You should know that I would never try to change a person, but would help them improve in areas which are needed and do so together. There's so many things you can expect from me, but the one thing you will always know in your heart. I will always support you and have your back no matter what." I then turned to her and asked her with anticipation, what could I expect from you? She replied ditto to everything I said, but of course had to throw in a little something extra. She said, " I can't stand when people don't put the cap back on the toothpaste. But I promise I will be patient as you learn to always do so.

Kasey Kahne (photo courtesy of NASCAR Media) Kasey Kahne's relationship with Turner Motorsports that already includes a part-time Nationwide Series schedule behind the wheel of the organization's No. 38 entry in that series has been expanded to include Camping World Truck Series competition. Kahne is slated to drive a No. 4 truck for Turner Motorsports at Rockingham Speedway on April 15. "The momentum behind this race just took another big leap forward with the addition of Kasey Kahne to our driver line-up and Rockwell Tools to our partner list," Rockingham Speedway President Andy Hillenberg said. "Kasey and Rockwell both understand what this race means to stock car racing fans and are both contributing their support in a major way." The upcoming Truck Series race at Rockingham will be the first NASCAR national-level event at the track since 2004.

Thyroid Hormone Replacement Therapy
What is thyroid hormone therapy?
Thyroid hormone therapy is the use of synthetic thyroid hormones to raise abnormally low levels of thyroid hormones. Often used to treat an underactive thyroid that is secreting little or no thyroid hormones, thyroid hormone therapy is usually administered in pill form. The most commonly prescribed thyroid hormone replacement is pure synthetic thyroxine (T4).
Who needs thyroid hormone therapy?
Thyroid hormone therapy is generally prescribed when a person's thyroid is not producing enough thyroid hormone naturally (a condition referred to as hypothyroidism). Other reasons for using thyroid hormone therapy may include:
- to control the growth of the enlarged thyroid gland (also called goiter)
- to control the growth of nodules on the thyroid gland
- if there is a history of thyroid cancer (use of thyroid hormone therapy can reduce the risk of recurring tumors)
- to control levels of thyroid stimulating hormones (TSH), which may stimulate thyroid cancer
How is thyroid hormone therapy dosage determined?
Proper dosage is tailored to each individual patient's needs through careful blood testing. The blood tests reveal levels of thyroid hormones in the blood, as well as thyroid stimulating hormones (TSH) emitted by the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland plays an integral role in the functioning of the thyroid gland. It controls how much thyroid hormone is released by producing TSH that "stimulates" the thyroid. Increased levels of TSH may indicate an underactive thyroid.
Yearly checkups are usually conducted to measure levels of thyroid hormones and TSH. Hypothyroidism can be a progressive disease, requiring dosage increases over time.
Ensuring proper thyroid hormone dosage:
Proper thyroid hormone dosage is based on blood tests that measure levels of thyroid hormone and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). However, to ensure proper dosage for the duration of the treatment, consider the following recommendations:
- Maintain regular visits to your physician.
- Take your thyroid medication daily.
- Notify your physician of your thyroid hormone treatment before beginning treatment for any other disease, as some adjunctive treatments can affect the dosage of thyroid hormone therapy.
- Let your physician know if you become pregnant.
- Notify your physician of any new symptoms that may arise.
- Notify all healthcare providers of your thyroid condition and medication dosage.

'Homeland' Season 4 casts 'Mad Men' alum, two more new facesAdd to Favorites | Homeland
"Homeland" continues to expand its Season 4 cast as filming proceeds in South Africa. The Hollywood Reporter says "Mad Men" alum Mark Moses, Indian actress Nimrat Kaur and "True Lies" actor Art Malik will join the Showtime series.
Moses will play a "debauched expat" named Dennis, who is described as "an academic teaching political science at Islamabad's Quaid-I-Azam University." Kaur is "a high-level operative within Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence." Malik is "retired Pakistani general Bunran 'Bunny' Latif," an old friend of Saul Berenson.
Other new cast members in Season 4 are Corey Stoll, Laila Robins and Suraj Sharma. Executive producer Alex Gansa set up the rebooted new series in Season 4 during a chat with reporters at the 2014 summer TV press tour.
"We put a character at the center of that -- a compelling character, hopefully, in Carrie Mathison -- to really identify the personal costs of the journey. But there also is a national cost to our policies, in Afghanistan and Pakistan specifically," he says. "That's the story we're going to explore this season. It's got some juice to it."
"Homeland" Season 4 premieres on Oct. 5 on Showtime.

I agree with other commenters, it does seem to jerk about a bit - Easing at the apexes would help.
Other things to consider: darken and scale the satellite slightly on the return path.
Flash is fantastic for this sort of animation (although its texture rendering is abysmal). After effects would be the ultimate application, although the learning curve is much steeper.
