Absolutely delicious! Weight Watcher's friendly and very filling!
I did add a little salt and garlic powder.
This was only ok. The tortillas were soggy so that was no good. My husband who likes Mexican only gave this a 7 out of 10 and said it would be better as a dip. We had leftovers and I used them in a burrito which was better. I will not be making this again.

We already know that after a nine-year absense from U.S. Men's National team camp, Mike Magee is taking his current opportunity rather seriously.
USsoccer.com caught up with Mike, Jurgen Klinsmann and a few other players after the team's first training session on Tuesday. Check out the video below and see Mike's interview beginning at about 1:20.
I think it was my grandfather that once told me, "When life hands you -40 degree wind chill, you have to stay warm." We were happy to see so many folks brave Monday's #Chiberia cold wearing Fire gear and received a ton of great photo submissions.
Congrats to our winner Jeffrey Neavor (@Neavor4) for his winning tweet (at the very bottom)... Jeffrey's won a 2014 Chicago Fire Winter Pack!

Mike Magee has won a lot of awards this offseason and you probably thought he was done when he collected the MLS MVP trophy at the beginning of the month.
You'd be wrong though.
Fire fans mobilized last week, voted and garnered Magic Mike 57% of the vote to make the Fire forward and hometown hero RedEye Chicago's Sports Stud of 2013.
Now it's unlikely that his most recent honor will play any bearing one whether or not U.S. Men's National Team head coach Juergen Klinsmann selects him for January camp in LA and Brazil.
After admitting some surprise at not being called for the team's November friendlies in Europe after his MVP season, Magee did have some interesting things to say about the January camp and somewhat longshot hopes of making the World Cup roster, namely:
"I hope I get called into camp because that's what I'm now training for," Magee said. "I'm training to be in that camp and if I'm not, I'll lie and say I'm getting ready for our preseason." He added: "Of course I want to be on that World Cup roster. In the past, when I wasn't called in, it was a little disappointing because I know what I'm capable of doing and know that I could help the team."
WATCH: #MikeMageeMVP All-Access
Chicago Fire Homegrown prospect Harrison Shipp garnered another collegiate accolade Monday, as TopDrawerSoccer.com named the Notre Dame attacker its 2013 Collegiate Player of the Year.
Just over a week ago, Shipp led the Fighting Irish to its first ever NCAA College Cup, tallying the game-winning assist in a 2-1 win over Maryland in Chester, Pa.
Shipp's 12 goals and 10 assists for Notre Dame also made him a finalist for the MAC Hermann Trophy which is set to be awarded on January 10.
Though the club has not yet signed Shipp to a Homegrown deal, earlier this month MLS confirmed he was eligible to be signed directly by the Fire.
At a Season Ticket Holder Town Hall on December 14, the day before the College Cup final, Fire head coach and Director of Soccer Frank Yallop spoke highly of Shipp, comparing him to a young Mike Magee before insinuating the team would be bringing him in as a Homegrown player by saying, "We'll get him."
As U.S. Soccer wraps up its centennial anniversary celebration in 2013, the Federation on Friday released the U.S. Men's National Team's all-time Best XI.
A voting panel of 57 former players, administrators and media were polled to determine the list which just so happens to feature three former Fire players in Carlos Bocanegra (2000-2003), Brian McBride (2008-2010) and Eric Wynalda (2001).
Wynalda and McBride, who at one point sat first and second respectively on the U.S. Men's National Team's all-time goal scoring list ran away with the two forward spots while Carlos Bocanegra finished third in the vote among defenders behind Marcelo Balboa and Eddie Pope.
The three Fire representatives on the list have appeared in a combined eight FIFA World Cups, amassed 313 caps and tallied 78 goals for the U.S. Men's National Team.
Notable players missing from the list or rather, those that should get Honorable Mentions include goalkeepers Kasey Keller and Tim Howard, defenders Paul Caligiuri and Thomas Dooley, midfielders Michael Bradley and Cobi Jones and forward Earnie Stewart.
See the list below... What do you think?
Working hard or hardly working as you countdown the minutes till Holiday Break?
If you're doing either, set aside seven spare minutes to watch all 58 goals scored by the Fire in 2013...
WATCH: 2013 Chicago Fire Goals
Iconic Mexican legend and former Fire attacker Cuauhtemoc Blanco has announced he'll retire following Lobos BUAP's finish of the Liga de Acenso's Apertura tournament next year.
Rated as perhaps the best Mexican player of all-time, Blanco became the first Designated Player in Chicago Fire history when he signed with the Men in Red in 2007. He'd go on to appear in 77 matches, tallying 19 goals and 28 assists with Chicago through the 2009 season before returning to Mexico with Veracruz.
As part of the club's 15th Anniversary in 2012, Blanco was also named as one of the Top 15 players in Chicago Fire history.
Blanco is Mexico's second all-time leading goal scorer, tallying 39 goals across 119 appearances and represented "El Tri" at the 1998, 2002 and 2010 FIFA World Cups.
Most interestingly, the above article also states that one of his planned send off friendlies next year will be in the United States...
The club announced Wednesday that Fire Original and Ring of Fire member C.J. Brown would be returning to the Men in Red as an assistant coach under Frank Yallop.
As the longest tenured Fire player of all time and the club's appearance record holder, C.J.'s return is a special one for old and young supporters of the club. To celebrate C.J. coming back to the Windy City, we're giving supporters three chances to win autographed C.J. Brown jerseys today via Fire Social Media.

STAY TUNED: We'll announce the winners on Thursday morning!
The Chicago Fire is proud to show its ongoing support for the Greater Chicago Food Depository by participating in the organization's Social Donation Plate campaign. The objective of the campaign is to help raise awareness and collect funds for hunger relief this holiday season.
The campaign features special, customized social donation plates from prominent Chicago figures, institutions and teams. Supporters of the cause will be asked to virtually "sign" their favorite plate and make a modest donation. Once a donation is made, the user experience allows individuals to "pass the plate" to friends via social media.
In support of hunger relief, the Fire has created a social donation plate for fans and supporters to virtually sign and pass along within the community.
"We're happy to continue our partnership with the Greater Chicago Food Depository and assist them in their efforts to raise awareness and funds for hunger relief," said Chicago Fire Senior Director of Community Relations Jessica Yavitz. "I think the social donation plate campaign is a great way for our fans to engage in the cause, as well. We're thrilled to help promote this unique project and collaborate to end hunger in our community."

Enjoys life as it comes!
Hiya! Mackenzie here. I'm one of the biggest animal lovers you'll ever meet. I'm always trying to do things to help animals and involve myself in getting active for animal rights. I have 4 awesome animal buddies living with me- a dog, ferret, mouse, and leopard gecko. Animals are my world, and I live to speak up for them.
Looking good is my thing.. Vegan clothing and cosmetics are always in style! ;)
In '10 i found a home where their dog had recently had pups and when i went to pick one out i noticed the conditions of the mother and the home. IT WAS ATROCIOUS! The mom could barely stand and there was garbage all over. She looked as if she had been beaten and the pups couldn't feed off her because she was so thin. I took one of the pups (whom i still have today) and called the OSPCA when i got home. The remaining pups and mother were also rescued but sadly did not survive. I brought Delilah home when she was barely three weeks old. She will be 3 in November and I couldn't ask for a better friend! I also have a guinea pig, Bailey whom I brought home from the OSPCA. My parents and I are also foster parents to dogs looking for their forever homes.
hard to be put in words
Howdy do! Ever since I was a youngin', i've always had such a passion for animals. I currently volunteer at the local SPCA, and spend my days smothering my rescue dog with love.

Five years ago in the north country, unplugging from the electric grid by installing solar panels was considered a luxury available only to environmentalists or those with padded bank accounts.
Waiting more than 10 years to see a return on ones investment from energy savings was deemed too risky by the average consumer here, who viewed the concepts of solar and geothermal energy with skepticism.
But as the price of equipment dropped, local energy contractors say, alternative energy projects have become an affordable investment that has gained traction. They say the number of solar and geothermal projects completed in recent years by businesses, municipalities, school districts and residents is evidence of that.
Consumers in the region are now recouping out-of-pocket costs for solar projects in four to six years with energy savings, after factoring in state and federal tax incentives and rebates from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. NYSERDA rebates cover up to 40 percent of the total out-of-pocket cost; after the rebates, federal tax credits will cover up to 30 percent, and state tax credits up to 25 percent of the cost.
Todays average price for a 7,200-watt, roof-mounted solar system to power a house is about $23,400, according to Fourth Coast Inc., a Clayton-based alternative energy firm. A NYSERDA rebate would save about $9,800, dropping the out-of-pocket cost to $13,600. A federal tax credit of $4,080 and state tax credit of $3,400 would then drop the total cost to $6,120. Once installed, the system would save the average homeowner about $960 a year in electricity expenses.
John D. OConnor, owner of Blackstone Electric, used to be ambivalent about alternative energy projects. He thought costs were out of reach for the average business owner and consumer. But the small business, at 17421 Route 12F, Dexter, recently decided to expand into the solar energy market because equipment prices have dropped to a new low. It will begin to sell and install solar modules this fall.
Last week, Mr. OConnor installed a display of 36 solar panels in front of his business, which is across the street from Watertown International Airport. At about 10 feet tall and 50 feet wide, the 240-watt solar modules will be tilted to the south, toward the airport, to capture the most sunlight. The system will provide all the power needed for the 4,500-square-foot office.
Early on, people saw these as just a gadget, Mr. OConnor said. There were people willing to do it, but there wasnt a good return on investment. But as energy prices keep going up, these are getting cheaper. And I think the common customers are going to be the ones on board now. The payback is now about five years.
The total project cost for Blackstone was about $30,000, but that was decreased by about 70 percent after a NYSERDA rebate, state and federal tax credits and by writing off the commercial equipment as a depreciation expense on federal taxes. Mr. OConnor expects to recover out-of-pocket expenses after four years of electricity savings.
Along with capturing the attention of airport traffic, he said, the exhibit will enable customers to learn about panels firsthand.
My Web page will show the whole array and how much energy its producing in real time, he said.
Fourth Coast has been on the front lines of the alternative energy market here since 2008, when owner Augusta Withington launched the small business in Clayton. Robert J. Campany joined Ms. Withington in 2009 as project manager. And the pair of professionals who previously worked together on municipal projects at Bernier, Carr & Associates quickly began launching solar and geothermal energy projects in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties. Headquartered at Mr. Campanys house in Clayton, the business has 15 employees and continues to grow to keep up with rising demand.
The costs for solar panels keep going down, and its more visible than it was before, Mr. Campany said. The green aspect on the environment used to be the primary reason for these projects, but since weve been involved, its been the economic benefit. The third reason is the feeling of independence with utility companies. People feel like theyre tied to National Grid when they give up a big check every month.
Roughly 90 percent of Fourth Coasts workload involves the design and installation of solar units, Mr. Campany said, and geothermal projects make up the remainder.
For geothermal projects, heat-source piping is installed up to 300 feet underground, sometimes at the bottom of lakes and ponds. Systems take advantage of the grounds constant temperature to offer heating and cooling services. Although those projects are not eligible for NYSERDA benefits, they may receive a federal tax credit of up to 30 percent of total costs. Because of todays rising cost of heating fuel, geothermal projects are catching on among people seeking long-term savings.
Geothermal makes sense, because it is significantly less expensive than propane or fuel oil from one-third to one half, he said.
Up-front investments for alternative energy projects still hold some customers back, said Mr. Campany, who takes calls from customers daily. Each clients situation involves unique variables that affect costs.
A lot of people would love to do this if they had the capital to get in its such a good return on investment, he said. Were now seeing people borrowing money with home equity rates at 2.99 percent, then paying for projects in four to five years with energy savings.
People still are getting used to seeing the 200 solar panels on the rooftops of the restaurant and nine-room motel at The Clipper Inn, 126 State St., Clayton, installed by Fourth Coast in January 2012. Owner Michael L. Simpson said last year, the business saved about $10,000 in electricity, money that used to be fed to National Grid. The photovoltaic system has reduced the businesss overall electricity bill by about one-third.
Mr. Simpson said visitors are impressed with savings gained from the 50-kilovolt system, along with the vast number of solar panels powering municipal buildings in Clayton, where the community has been receptive to such projects. He believes their attitudes about alternative energy have improved after seeing the positive results.
A lot of my customers asked me how well they worked after I put in the panels, and I told them I would have to wait, Mr. Simpson said. Theyre impressed when they learn electricity was down by $10,000 with the same amount of lights and air conditioning use.
City Electric Co., a wholesale electrical distributor at 7075 Bradley St., Watertown, supplies contractors with solar panel parts for projects. Sales representative Hilton P. Shattuck, who travels across the region to supply products for electrical contractors, said the number of alternative energy projects in the region has gradually climbed in recent years.
Its been a sliding scale, Mr. Shattuck said. Five years ago, there were only a few companies producing solar energy; but now a lot of them are seeing this is a viable thing. Its like the tip of the iceberg, and youre going to see a lot more of it.

Cellumination Mask-In Lotion
Despite the confusing name for this product (it's not a mask or a moisturizer) it ends up being a very good toner.
Facial Treatment Repair C
Facial Treatment Repair C, despite the name, doesn't contain vitamin C.
Add to Faves?
SK-II At-A-Glance
Strengths: Some well-formulated moisturizers and serums; all of the sunscreens provide sufficient UVA protection.
Weaknesses: Shockingly expensive, especially for the wide assortment of mediocre products; unreliable skin-lightening products; AHA/BHA products that contain an ineffective amount of exfoliant; no products to help manage blemishes; jar packaging.
Procter & Gamble, as always, is extremely helpful in providing information about their products. In this case it was for their upscale SK-II skin-care line. We certainly can't say that about most companies. We have to acknowledge P&G for having the integrity to share their "inside" details with someone like me, who might be more critical than complimentary. Thank you, P&G!
Regrettably, and we mean that sincerely, we wish we had more positive comments to convey, but alas, we don't. The data provided don't change the reality about skin care and the ingredients that can have an impact on skin. SK-II products are hardly worth the price, especially when compared to Olay Regenerist and Definity (P&G's own drugstore line of skin-care products). In fact, it takes only a quick review of the formulas to note that many SK-II items are very similar to Olay Regenerist items, except that the latter don't include Pitera, the supposedly miracle ingredient in this line. Yet there is minimal research indicating that Pitera is even helpful for skin.
Pitera is the cornerstone of the SK-II line and is present in every SK-II product. Pitera is the trade name for Saccharomycopsis ferment filtrate (SFF), a form of yeast purportedly unique because of the fermenting and filtering process it goes through before being added to these products. As it turns out, many forms of yeast have anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidant properties, including SFF (Source: Journal of Dermatologic Science, June 2006, pages 249–257). Other than that, all of the information about Pitera comes from papers presented at medical conferences, not from published studies. Presenting papers at medical conferences is not at all the same thing as publishing the results of studies. We frequently present papers and information at medical conferences, and we wouldn't offer that material as proof of anything because it isn't. The standards for presenting a paper at a medical conference are very different from the requirements for publication of study results in most medical journals.
To give P&G the benefit of the doubt, even if Pitera is a wonder ingredient, this doesn't explain how it rates when compared with other "wonder" ingredients because there are no comparison studies. Hundreds of ingredients—ranging from green tea to superoxide dismutase, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, eicosapentaenoic acid, beta-carotene, pomegranate, and curcumin to vitamin E, vitamin A, and on and on and on—have stellar reputations, and there's copious documentation to prove it.
Another point to consider: If Pitera deserves the spotlight SK-II shines on it, then P&G needs to change their claims about Olay Regenerist and Definity, and at the very least say that these products are almost as good as SK-II except we left out the Pitera. Ultimately, unless you believe Pitera is the answer for your every skin-care need (because each and every SK-II product contains it, with very few other added extras), there is no reason to waste your time and energy on this line.

Comments about TASCAM DR-100 MKII Portable Digital Recorder:
I found the DR100-MKII to be a capable little device considering its price point. The mic preamps are fairly quiet and provide very good quality, but they do overload a bit too easily with my Audio-Technica AT-897 shotgun mic. The on-board omni-directional mics performed well but I would prefer a wider sound with a bit more "stereo" spread. Again, I have to mention that for the [$] I paid for mine (after discount), I'm quite pleased with the overall performance of the device. My only other complaint besides the minor overloading issue was the battery life of the lithium ion pack supplied with the unit. Supplying phantom power, the Li-ion pack was drained by 33% after only 45 minutes of use. Fortunately, you can supplement the Li-ion with a pair of alkaline "AA" batteries which should be sufficient record time for most applications.

Celiac disease (CD) is not food allergy. Rather, it is a disease of the digestive system that results in damage to the small intestine by interfering with the absorption of nutrients. CD is unique in that one specific food component, gluten, has been identified as the main culprit. Gluten is the common name for proteins in specific grains that are harmful to persons with CD. These proteins are found in all forms of wheat (including durum, semolina, spelt, kamut, einkorn, and faro), and related grains, rye, barley, and tritcale. Damage to the surface of the small intestine is caused by an immunologically toxic reaction to the ingestion of gluten.
CD is often confused with food allergy because so many of the grains and wheats that can cause food allergies are the same ones that cause CD. A common symptom and side-effect of CD is Dermatitis Herpetiformis (DH), a severe, itchy skin rash (not a skin allergy) of small dark spots that develop in CD patients on their hands, arms and legs.
CD is genetically passed down from generation to generation. It is estimated that up to 1 in every 133 persons in the U.S. is affected. Family members can be tested for CD even if symptoms are not apparent. Patients with IgA deficiency should consult with an experienced pathologist to ensure proper diagnosis.
The only treatment for CD is life-long avoidance of foods with gluten. When gluten is removed from the diet, the small intestine will start to heal and overall health improved. Medication is normally not required. Consult your physician regarding specific nutritional supplementation to correct any deficiencies.
All patients should be monitored by their physician to ensure compliance with, and response to the gluten-free diet. Dietary compliance decreases the likelihood of osteoporosis, lymphoma and other associated illnesses.
Adapting to the gluten-free diet requires some lifestyle changes. It is crucial to read labels which are often imprecise, and learn to identify ingredients that may contain hidden gluten.
Be aware that hidden gluten can be found in some unlikely foods such as: cold cuts, soups, hard candies, soy sauce, many low or non-fat products, even licorice and jelly beans.
Common foods with gluten are:

I don't want to write too much in this topic for fear of influencing the poll but I'm interested looking at the Ben question through the prism of Crawford Survivalist Philosophy.
He's a young kid, he's an idiot, he's put you in danger multiple times but he's not bad, he's well meaning, he has the potential to be useful and will keep trying to be.
Now Ben has split this forum into 2 camps.
Those who would drop him because he's a threat or because he already screwed up & those who would save him out of compassion or his potential use. This particular issue is very relevant to the supporters and opponents of the way Crawford is run.
What I want to know is this
Did you support or agree with Crawfords policy of removing potential threats?
Did you drop Ben?
I'd really like forum answers to this and explanations, don't just vote and leave.
Poll is coming in a moment

625 NW Everett St., No. 106
Using painting, sculpture, and collage, artist Richard Schemmerer takes on the well-worn theme of the American Dream. Cock Gallery founder Paul Soriano has curated this selection of works from Schemmerer's prolific output. The artist's paintings typically coalesce around geometric abstraction, and his collages update a problematic medium with genuine flair and originality. But can he find new inspiration in such a general, hackneyed theme as the American Dream? Watch this space in coming weeks for a capsule or full review. Jan. 3-Feb. 2.

Enjoying a good wine is always a moment of pleasure. The only thing that
is not cool, is when your wine is not at the right temperature. Thats
when Corkcicle
comes in, with a very stylish design, made from gel, just leave it in
the freezer for at least 2 hours and then put it into your wine. Then
just wash and reuse again and again. Simply brilliant idea. Watch the video

|This article concerns a game that is unreleased.
Some details may be speculative, and may turn out to be incorrect.
The MR Roadster (unofficially named) is a compact roadster making its first appearance in GTA V.
This car is clearly inspired by the British-designed Lotus Elise and similar Lotus-designed models. As such it features a low front end with a fairly tall front face, featuring three bumper grilles; the central grille spanning two thirds of the bumper width and then a smaller one either side. The headlights are totally ovular. The manufacturer emblem is located right in front of the bonnet/ hood, in the centre. The bonnet/ hood features two large, curved-edge intakes placed in the middle.
The sides of the car are very curvy and the greenhouse shrinks in width towards the rear of the car. The main body lines curves downwards bewteen the two arches, but curves upwards for either arch, moreso for the rear arch, much like a Series 2 Lotus Exige. The main lines that form the edge of the side intakes for the car are also curved. The intake just in front of the rear wheel arch features a CFRP insert. The wheelbase of the car is relatively short, giving the car the appearance of a lightweight, compact roadster, typical to a Lotus-related design. The wheels featured on this car are split five spoke wheels, which appear to be inspired by those found on the Lotus Exige S.
The rear end of the MR Roadster is inspired by the Tesla Roadster, which also has a body delivered by Lotus. The rear end of this car features rear lighting made up of two circular lamps either side of a central section. The lower area of the rear bumper has a plastic insert, with a twin-tipped exhuast tip in the centre, this rear face arrangement is a common feature on each generation of Lotus Elise.
This car utilises an MR drivetrain layout.

Shailee Croasmun, a junior guard, helped lead the offense and defense throughout the season for the Lady Dinos to help earn her All-Region 12 Honorable Mention honors. Croasmun scored 174 points over the season and averaged 7.5 points per game for the Lady Dinos. Playing in head coach Ted Bianco's pressure style defense helped Croasmun get plenty of steals throughout the season for the Lady Dinos.
In her first season playing for the Lady Dinos, Shelby Cornforth made an immediate impact on the floor which saw her named to the All-Region 12 team. Battling through constant double teams in each game, Cornforth averaged 10.9 points per game to lead the Lady Dinos' offense attack and played a crucial role on the defensive end of the floor providing a rebounding and shot blocking presence.
After seeing seven seniors graduate from last year's team, Giovanna Chiara quickly made an impression on both sides of the floor as a player for the Lady Dinos which ended with her earning a spot on the All-Region 12 Team. Chiara averaged 5.7 points per game and made a number key plays for the Lady Dinos that don't often show up in the box scores.

The Numbers Game rolls on Tuesday with the latest contestants being the center back duo of Jhon Kennedy Hurtado and Patrick Ianni, who were recently acquired from the Seattle Sounders in a trade that sent Jalil Anibaba the other way.
Let's start with the Hurtado. The 29-year-old center back will continue to don the same #34 he wore for five seasons in Cascadia. Asked why he's chosen a somewhat "off the beaten path" soccer number, Hurtado explained 34 was the number he was given when trialing with AC Milan in early 2009.
"The opportunity was a special one and it's stayed with me ever since," he told Chicago-Fire.com last week.
Though 34 isn't the most common soccer number, two Fire players have worn it before. Former Trinidad & Tobago international Osei Telesford was the club's #34 in 2007 while Austin Washington wore it from 2008-2009.
Meanwhile, Ianni has chosen to suit up wearing the #6 for the Fire this season. Interestingly, Ianni and Anibaba weren't just in part swapped for each other but they've also taken one another's number at their new club as the former Fire defender will suit up as Seattle's #4 this season.
Asked about the choice of #6, Ianni said, "I just wanted a lower, defender's number," but the only two digits that fit the criteria for the Fire were #2 and #6.
Althought the #2 is free for anyone to choose, Ianni says he took into account the legacy of assistant coach C.J. Brown's 13 years wearing #2 for the Men in Red and the fact that it's only been worn one other time for 27 minutes by another Fire player (Wells Thompson in 2012).
In the end, the choice was simple.
"I have a ton of respect for what C.J. did here wearing that number and what that means to Fire supporters. The six shirt suits me just fine."
QUESTION: Ianni becomes the ninth player in Fire history to wear #6 for the Men in Red. How many of the other eight can you name? (SCROLL BELOW FOR THE ANSWER).
ANSWER: Brian Bates (1998), Tom Soehn (1998-2000), Sergi Daniv (2001), Kelly Gray (2002-2005), Brandon Prideaux (2008-2009), Julio Martinez (2010), Peter Lowry (2010), Jalil Anibaba (2011-2013).
On the first day of full training in Ave Maria last week, we mic'd up head coach Frank Yallop for a forthcoming preseason documentary.
What he hadn't planned on was the Ave Maria groundskeeper doing us a solid by mis-timing the sprinklers...
Watch Frank's reaction below and subscribe to our YouTube channel for more videos throughout 2014 preseason
After nearly a month of training camp and an early January trip to Brazil, Fire forward Mike Magee and goalkeeper Sean Johnson are set for Saturday afternoon's U.S. friendly vs. South Korea at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif.
For Johnson, January camp has become part of his preseason routine, while Magee's only been to one previous camp, way back in 2005. The 2013 MLS MVP spoke to ESPNFC's Doug McIntyre about his hopes of finally receiving his first U.S. cap at the age of 29 on Saturday and goal of making the U.S. team for this summer's FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
Catch the U.S. take on South Korea Saturday at 4:00pm CT on ESPN2, Watch ESPN and Unimas.
UPDATE: U.S. Soccer has announced Magee will not dress for today's friendly due to food poisoning. I don't even know what to say. We love you Mike, feel better.
New Fire assistant coach Clint Mathis scored a few goals in his career, many of which were stunning.
There was this darting run in 2001 vs. Dallas that wound up winning MLS Goal of the Year.
There was also this one-time volley from 2004 while playing for Hannover 96 in Germany.
But if you got this far into this blog post and didn't already know what the favorite goal of Clint's career was, you haven't been a U.S. Soccer fan long enough. Of course you know what it is:
Daegu, South Korea.
June 10, 2002.
John O'Brien.
24th minute.
Deft touch with his right.
Beautiful finish with his left.
Jack Edwards: "That's why he's here!"
When I asked him this question which was very easily answered, Clint, with his Southern Charm, responded like he'd never been asked before saying, "The goal in 2002. That's one that my kids can tell their grandkids and it's one of those situations where I have some goals I remember playing in the league but it's different when you score in MLS vs. the World Cup.
"I think the significance behind that goal – it ended up being the one goal we needed to get out of the group because of the other results that happened on the final day to put us through – you just can't rate anything higher than that. You can't forget it."
Ahhh, just watch it again:
As Sunday's first preseason friendly vs. Florida Gulf Coast University approaches, more number choices are being made.
Today's "Numbers Game" features the club's two new Homegrown players Chris Ritter and Harry Shipp who have chosen #21 and #19 respectively. Asked if their was any significance behind their number choice, both said, "No, not really."
Thanks guys!
The #19 shirt has been worn by nine players previously and was actually worn by six different player's in the club's first five years. Those were Josh Keller, Jeff Zaun, Yuri Lavrinenko, Chad Prince and David Vaudreuil before Craig Capano donned the shirt from 2002-2004. Jim Curtin's little brother Jeff wore #19 in 2007 while Corben Bone was the most recent #19 from 2010-2013.
Most notably, Chad Barrett (pictured above) switched to the #19 shirt in 2008 when the club acquired Tomasz Frankowski who moved into the #9 shirt. Barrett wore #19 for half a season before being dealt to Toronto FC in the Brian McBride trade that August. So in closing, Harry has the chance to really make #19 his own.
Conversely, Ritter is just the fourth player in club history to wear the #21 shirt. Michael Videira most recently wore it the past three seasons but before him, two of the club's top offensive leaders wore #21.
They were...
Dema Kovalenko (1999-2002)
Justin Mapp (2003-2010)
Coincidentally, the Fire acquired Mapp from D.C. United for Dema Kovalenko prior to the start of the 2003 MLS campaign. Kovalenko sits fourth on the club's All Competitions goal scoring list with 26, while Mapp sits fourth on the All Competitions assists list with 35.
After doing only conditioning work shortly after arriving in Ave Maria Sunday night, the team held their first full training session Monday morning.
Frank Yallop and staff split the players up into three groups that rotated between three stations focusing on conditioning work, small-sided games with small goals and possession.
Monday afternoon half of the players in camp head to the weight room while another group gets back on the field for another session. Check out some of Monday's photos below:
After a day of travel, the Chicago Fire first team arrived at its preseason home for the next week Sunday afternoon here in Ave Maria, Fla. Frank Yallop's first training session was a relaxed affair as Strength and Conditioning Coach Tony Jouaux led the team through a lengthy jog, stretching and stride exercises to loosen the muscles.
The team will begin regular sessions Monday morning at 10:30am ET at Ave Maria's North Park. See photos of today's session below:
A third round pick in the 2003 MLS SuperDraft, Chicago Fire midfielder Logan Pause had already capped off a decade with the Men in Red last year before extending his deal to come back for a 12th season with the club in 2014 on Friday.
Logan's longevity got me thinking about players that held the longest consecutive tenures in terms of both years and games played ith one MLS club. After some research, I found that Fire legend and new assistant coach C.J. Brown holds the record for consecutive seasons with one team at 13, while Logan will tie Cobi Jones (LA Galaxy) and Pablo Mastroeni (Colorado Rapids) when he makes his first appearance for the Fire in 2014.

You may be wondering where are Jaime Moreno and Ramiro Corrales? Good question. Moreno holds the MLS record for most seasons with one club, spending 14 years with D.C. United but he did have one stint with the MetroStars that broke up his two long stints in the nation's capital.
In Corrales' case, while he never played for another MLS club other than San Jose after being traded back to the Quakes in 2001, he did spend a few years abroad in Norway with HamKam that keep him out of the consecutive seasons count. Corrales spent a total of 12 seasons in San Jose over three stints (1996-97, 2001-04, 2008-13)
Just for fun, a look at the record number for consecutive appearances for MLS club is below too:

The annual numbers game that occurs every offseason has begun and even though recently acquired defender Lovel Palmer's Twitter handle features the number seven (@LovelPalmer7), the Jamaican international has decided to wear the #5 shirt for the Fire this season.
Palmer joins a strong cast of Fire fives... See them below and stay tuned throughout preseason as we detail more of The Numbers Game.
Lubos Kubik (#5 from 1998-2000)
Jim Curtin (#5 from 2001-2007)

Tottenham Hotspur rode a brace from Emmanuel Adebayor as well as an own goal to a 3-1 win over Swansea in Barclay's Premier League action on Sunday. Adebayor opened the scoring in the 35th minute off of a header served from Christian Ericksen to take Spurs into the break up 1-0.
An own goal on the other side of halftime from Swansea defender Chico made it 2-0 before Adebayor tapped in his second of the day as Danny Rose's cutback from the left in the 71st minute.
Swansea pulled a goal back late through Wilfried Bony in the 78th but it was too little too late as Spurs manager Tim Sherwood earned his fifth win in seven Premier League matches since taking over the side on December 16.
The result moves Spurs to fifth in the Barclay's Premier League, level on points with fourth place Liverpool as they ready to welcome second place Manchester City to White Hart Lane on Wednesday.
Check out highlights of the match courtesy of NBC Sports below.

The Rumor Mill :: College Football Coaching News and Rumors – Wednesday, Nov. 20
Sources indicate the heat is rising on Illinois coach Tim Beckman.
Athletic director Mike Thomas has been noncommittal about his future. That was before Beckman almost came to blows with OC Bill Cubit on the sidelines Saturday.
Beckman is 5-17 in his second season at the helm. Thomas fired former coach Ron Zook after he led the Illini to back-to-back bowls. (Those Illini teams won back-to-back bowls for the first time in program history).
We're hearing that Nebraska's Bo Pelini is likely to be safe if the Huskers finish 9-3. That is, unless they give up 70 in the bowl game ( a la last year's Big Ten title game).
Frank Solich was fired after going 9-3, but sources say current AD Shawn Eichorst probably isn't likely to be as quick on the trigger as Steve Pederson.
Oklahoma State handed Mack Brown his worst home loss as Texas head coach on Saturday, beating the No. 24 Longhorns, 38-13. It was Brown's eighth straight defeat against a ranked team at home.
The reality is that Brown likely needs to beat Texas Tech and Baylor (and have Baylor beat Oklahoma State). That scenario would give the Longhorns the Big 12 title and a BCS bowl berth.
Anything less than that and it's probably over.
In an interview with Steve Hartman and Pat O'Brien, LA Daily News writer Scott Wolff says Ed Orgeron has a 50% chance of landing the USC job on a permanent basis. If the Trojans beat UCLA, that could increase to 75%.
Former Ole Miss Chancellor Robert Khayat says he'd give Orgeron another shot.
"If Mr. Haden asked me that question, given the performance, the 180-degree turnaround — if I'm the president or chancellor, I would recommend that we give him a shot at it," Khayat said. "[Orgeron] knows what it's like to be hired, fired, to win and lose.
"I've probably said more than I should — I should answer this as a hypothetical. But I would want to see him have the opportunity to be a head coach."
There's been some speculation privately – and now publicly – that FIU coach Ron Turner could leave on his own accord and head back to the NFL. Sources indicate there's a growing movement to dump both him and athletic director Pete Garcia.
Southern Miss coach Todd Monken announced a change in the Golden Eagles coaching staff Tuesday afternoon. Graduate assistant Grant Garner will replace veteran assistant Pete Perot as offensive line coach for the final two games of the season.
Rhode Island head coach Joe Trainer has been released from the final year of his contract, athletic director Thorr Bjorn announced.

This topic comes up from time to time amongst musicians. Here's my strategy. How about you guys?
Unless youre only into completely unpopular music you should be able to find songs that are fun to play and that people will enjoy having you play. Certain songs will almost universally work Brown Eyed Girl, 867-5309, Dont Stop Believin, Summer of 69, etc. But theres like a gazillion great tunes out there that are seldom played that still get people dancing and drinking. Set order is everything - Ive played tons of songs that would get crickets early in the night that never failed to get a great reaction late at night.
I have 4 basic rules for song selection:
- You better have fun playing the songs. So never play a song that your singer hates always let the singer veto anything. Nothing kills the vibe live more than a singer that doesnt want to sing a song. And never play a song that more than 40% of the band hates it will have the same vibe killing effect. Close to 100% of the listening public in a bar will never notice if you play a solo note for note, nail all the multi-part harmonies, push/pull the beat too much, etc. but they will absolutely notice if the band is having a good time.
- Never play songs that are obscure unless they are immediately immersive familiar changes, great melody/hook, killer vocal, etc. For example, Soulshine by Warren Haynes most people have never heard it but if you have a singer that can handle it then it always kills. A good counter example is Maria by Blondie I know for a fact that nobody wants to hear this no matter how well you do it.
- Its always good to play AC/DC and Stevie Wonder tunes.
- I will never play Sweet Home Alabama again unless its a dying wish, someone gives me a large bag filled with money, or Im asked to join Lynyrd Skynyrd. Also, that Kid Rock song, Werewolves of London, and any other variation of a V-IV-I tune with that groove are all subject to the same restrictions.

While it still feels like summer here on the West Coast, I couldn't be more excited to start dressing for fall! This time around my runway inspirations are vast-and include Celine, Prabal Gurung, Balenciaga, The Row, and Givenchy-which means I will be experimenting with a bunch of different looks this season. While I typically reach for sleek, classic items, I plan to spice it up a bit and splurge on a few trendy, of-the-moment pieces that will give my mostly neutral wardrobe a fun twist. That could be anything from a pair of fashion-forward ankle boots to a petite leopard-print bag, or even throwing in a neon accent or two. (I recently wore a pair of hot pink Satine pants at NYFW!) Per usual, you can also find a few of the year-round essentials in my closet, like big, dark, cat-eye sunglasses, which add just the right amount of sophistication and polish to a layered winter look, and of course, a great pair of jeans; currently, I'm obsessed with a cool, '90s-inspired style from the denim gurus at MiH. And though I don't like to fill my wardrobe completely with seasonal trends, I do plan on nodding to some of my favorites via a ruffled collar or menswear-inspired outerwear. As for fall beauty, I'll be following the tides and swapping spring and summer's bright nail polish for darker shades, as they go with pretty much everything! Basically, this season offers an array of exceptional items I can't way to try, so be sure to click through my fall picks and let me know which pieces are your favorites!
1. Barbara Bui Long Wool Coat with Black Leather Trim ($1440, 310.275.4452) in Grey
2. Prabal Gurung Ruffled Silk Georgette Blouse ($800)
3. House of Harlow 1960 Linsey Sunglasses ($148, available September 30th) in Black
4. MiH The Halsy Jeans ($176)
5. Thakoon Chunky-Heel Leather Ankle Boots ($995) in Black
6. Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish ($16) in Stormy Weather
7. Satine Label Coco Skirt ($650, 323.655.2142, available October 24th) in Fuchsia/Orange
8. Reed Krakoff Standard Mini Shoulder Bag ($690)

Inspired by the "Gear" thread about backcountry self defence.I'm in Canada so I can't carry a pistol or assault rifle into the hinterlands to defend my freedom.I've been looking into alternatives such as Nunchucks.I'd really like to keep the weight low but am concerned about durability.Gray wolf has the only pair of "true" titanium Nunchucks I've been able to find, though at $250,000.00 they are out of my budget ranges.http://www.nunchuckslv.com/nunchucks.htmThese Carbon fibre Nunchucks are rather attractive and light.What kind of lightweight Nunchucks do you take into the back country?
MYOG bamboo. Hollow so you can store first aid and small kitchen items inside, and an insert so you can attach your cut-off spoon and toothbrush. If you carry two, you can strap them together offset to make a short hiking pole.
I have met a backcountry photographer in BC carrying a large revolver for bear protection. Also know a cowboy actionshooter from BC who has a short barreled AR 15 type rifle as well as his old western style stuff. It would probably be cheaperto get those licenses than a ti nun chuck.And you likely couldn't bring nunchucks for hikes in the US, unlike guns that you could get a permit for.I just learned we have 5 new grizzly bear roaming the US side of the border near Trail, Pepper spray in the grizzly applicator size, is on the shelves at the local feed stores now. That would be my first choice.
Edited by oware on 02/20/2013 04:31:23 MST.
Pistols and AR 15s are classified as "restricted" firearms in Canada. You can only take them to the range with an "authorization to transport". It is illegal to take them with you into the woods as "bear protection". Bear spray is just as effective in Canada as it is in the USA.
Edited by Sparticus on 02/20/2013 05:05:59 MST.
"MYOG bamboo" - Now there is some good multiuse BPL thinking.How about one of these:Good for chopping wood and defending yourself against rogue Klingons. But then again the Ti-Batliff might be a bit pricey.
Nunchucks are so 70s. Who do you think you are, Bruce Lee?When I'm in Canada and can't pack my assault rifle, I bring this bad boy. The shaft is carbon fiber and the head is ti, so weight isn't too bad. The spikes are impregnated with carbide, so it's self sharpening once you've crunched a few skulls with it.
I agree on the pepper spray. However it is possible for some to carry a handgun into some locations if one is willing to go through all the channels.Most prefer the battle rifle to the assault rifle for large carnivore protection and one may see many Canadians stalking throughthe woods each fall bearing such.
Hi Paul,I was surprised a few months ago watching this Canadian reality tv show called Yukon Men.the episode I saw had some guys hunting caribou. A couple of the guys had bolt action rifles but what suprised me was that one of the guys had an AR-15.http://www.poptower.com/stan-zuray-yukon-men-picture-99987.htmThis is reality tv, so maybe it was fake?-Never mind!! I think this show actually takes place in Alaska!
Edited by DanG on 02/20/2013 10:37:03 MST.
"However it is possible for some to carry a handgun into some locations if one is willing to go through all the channels".There is a grain of truth in that statement; however, it is very misleading. While it is true that The Chief Provincial Firearms Officer in each province has the authority to issue an open carry permit, they will very rarely do so. It is generally only in very remote locations in the high north and usually to prospectors. They will not issue one to a backpacker who has an unreasonable fear of two or four legged predictors. Hence my statement that it is illegal to carry a pistol while backpacking.I don't know what you mean by a 'battle rifle', but it is not uncommon in the north and west for some in remote areas to carry non-restricted rifles for bear protection. It is a little different is some provinces like my last home in Nova Scotia. In that province it is illegal to have even a non-restricted rifle in the woods with you outside hunting season.Lets get back to the serious issue of backpacking titanium Nunchucks.
Nice camo Nunchucks for stealth 'chucking.The link below is a neat tutorial on making your own "Bushcraft Nunchaku".... very cool!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQlgojQ-wAoA multi-purpose set, Nunchucks and cord storage in one. That's ultralight thinking right there.
Edited by NLslacker on 02/20/2013 13:02:49 MST.
I am going to assume that the weight of the nunchuks will determine the damage it will cause.
Weight is definitely a factor, but with some outside-the-box thinking it might be possible to get more functionality without the extreme weight hit. Perhaps spare batteries or water could be kept in the handle if it was hollow... thereby using weight you would be carrying anyway. Another possibility is to chain two hatchets together which would greatly save energy by the ability to clear brush and defend oneself at the same time with no wasted effort.
I bought Nuunchucks. Self defense and electrolyte replacement in one!
This may be just the thing... I'm really starting to get excited by the possibilities.
The Canadian I met with a revolver was a photographer.Nun chucks are illegal to possess in California, a felony. Unless you mean thisIn CA possessing a concealed handgun without permit and no otherviolations is a misdemeanor. IANAL

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- Nearly 80 million Americans still call themselves Catholic, but their numbers have been dwindling.
And among American Catholics, someare proud of Pope Benedict's decision to resign.... and othersare furious that he's failed to do more to deal with child sex abuse by priests.
The resignation was a shock to the Archbishop of Washington,Cardinal Donald Wuerl."It's very startling. Totally unprepared for it."
Cardinal Wuerl had just been with the Pope in October, and he says he saw no sign Benedict was struggling with his duties. "There was no doubt he was in full possession of his faculties."
Cardinal Wuerl will be part of the conclave that will select the next Pope... and he says he will be looking for continuity with the conservative teachings of Benedict and John Paul. "There is a basic doctrine that is the bedrock of Catholic faith."
But many American Catholics are pushing for a change. "The last thing we want is continuity," says David Lorenz of Bowie, who was abused by the priest and guidance councilor at his Catholic High School.Lorenz was sodomized at a sleepover when he was just 16.
Lorenz says Pope Benedict has offered comforting words, but that he's failed to punish bishops for hiding abusive priest and covering up the sexual abuse of children that is tearing the church apart. "ThisPope has done nothing.... This thing is going to haunt them for a thousand years until they stand up and confront it and come clean."
But some see Benedict's decision as a sign of his greatness. "This is a real example of his humility. We stand behind him and support him. We love him!" said Amanda Hamilton, as she stood on the steps of the Cathedral of St. Matthew before going inside for a noon mass on Monday.
Jean Belmonte said she supports continuity. "These are our leaders, and they're saying this is what Jesus taught us."
Cardinal Weurl did say he would at least consider picking a successor with the youth and energy to travel the globe to reach out to the world's nearly 1.2 billion Catholics. But he also says there is a great value in experience -- and that of course comes with age.

Reviews for Spicy Chili Mac
Sort By :
"I didn't add the jalapeno peppers as my family doesn't like a lot of heat so maybe that's why it tasted a little bland to us. Next time I would add a packet of chili seasoning to the meat to give the dish a little more flavor."
"Lots of heat and turns out perfect! I used the max for all of the ingredients and instead of ground turkey I used ground venison."
"Yummers! I used the lesser amounts of the seasonings and only 1 jalapeno. I also used ground beef and pasta shells. My husband sprinkled Greek seasoning over his portion and it was great. Will make again and try Greek seasoning in the entire recipe and the full amounts of all ingredients."
"I made a few substitutions, I use ground beef, regular macaroni, pinto beans instead of black beans and only used one jalapeno pepper, and it turned out pretty good. I also added 1 cup of cheese instead of 3/4 cup. Will make again."
"So good! We served with the Quick Avocado Tomato salad and it was a terrific meal.I made as directed, except used Ronzoni Smart Taste, instead of whole wheat. Since my kids were also eating this I only used the minimum recommended amounts (2 jalapenos, 2 tsp of chili powder and 1 TBS of (Franks) hot sauce); it was a perfect compromise on heat. We did dollop with light sour cream and liked it better with it than without. Also, the recipe did not specify, so I used 99% lean turkey and did not miss the fat."

Everyone has a profession or a hobby that they excel at. Yours happens to be die-hard Atlanta Falcons NFL fanaticism. Show everyone in the stadium how a true fan supports his team and favorite player in this Nike Atlanta Falcons Limited Jersey. Inspired by the actual gear that Matt Ryan wears on the field, this jersey features a no-tag neck label that offers comfort and strategic ventilation, bold contrast color detailing, tackle twill player numbers and Ryan's name on the back in tackle twill lettering.ReplyDelete
