Do you love eating out, but loathe the fact that you can't fully control what is actually in your food, the way it's prepared and the often-hefty amount of calories your meal contains? Well, worry no more! Here are three healthy restaurant-inspired dinners that you can make at home, while controlling all of these factors—and it's all at a fraction of the cost you would pay at a restaurant.
The Italian Restaurant Meal: Pasta and Meat Sauce
This is one of the most popular dishes and, although it may not be the least-healthy item on the menu, this comfort-food dish is packed with calories and too many carbohydrates, and devoid of vegetables and fiber.
The Italian-inspired Meal: Spaghetti Squash Primavera With Ground Turkey Breast, Tomato Sauce and Parmesan Cheese
Why we love it: It's the lightened-up, high-fiber and nutrient-rich version of your typical pasta dish, but lacks much of the calories and the loads of carbs you'd get with the same-size portion. Plus, not only is it full of veggies, but the "pasta" itself is a vegetable so it's packed with additional nutrients, antioxidants and fiber. And for a four-ounce serving the lean ground turkey breast has about one-third the calories and nearly half the fat of ground beef.
How to make it: Ingredients 1 medium-sized spaghetti squash 2 cloves garlic ½ chopped bell pepper ¼ cup chopped onion 1-1/2 teaspoons olive oil 1 pound lean ground turkey breast Low-fat, low-sodium tomato sauce Parmesan cheese Basil leaves (optional)
Prepare a medium-sized spaghetti squash by first washing it thoroughly, then using a sharp knife make several cuts throughout the squash. The cuts you are making will enable you to put the squash in the microwave without it exploding. Heat the squash in the microwave on high for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the squash is soft to the touch; let it stand for five minutes to finish steaming. When done, cut open "at the equator" (not lengthwise) and remove the seeds and pulp using tongs and an oven mitt because the squash will be hot. Separate the strands with a fork and put on plate just like you would pasta.
While the squash is in the microwave, sauté two cloves of garlic, ½ chopped bell pepper and ¼ cup chopped onion in 1-1/2 teaspoons of olive oil until the onion is browned; add one pound ground turkey breast, stirring it and allowing it to brown. Pour your favorite low-fat, low-sodium tomato sauce into the turkey, garlic and pepper mixture and serve the sauce and ground turkey breast over the spaghetti squash. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garnish with basil leaves, if desired.
For every cup you swap for the original version you'll save more than 200 calories!
The Chinese Restaurant Meal: Sweet and Sour Chicken
The classic version of this dish is fried and loaded with calorie-dense sauce. Eat just one cup and you're likely to consume as many as 700 calories.
The Chinese-inspired Restaurant Meal: Super Easy Sweet and Sour Chicken
Why we love it:It is so easy to make and tastes absolutely delicious, yet the fat is slashed by more than 75 percent, thanks to this no-fry version. Plus, we always bulk up the meal by adding broccoli, which makes this dish ultra-satisfying.
How to make it: Ingredients: 1 pound skinless chicken breast tenderloins or chicken breast (cut in strips) Hot mustard Duck sauce Broccoli Brown rice
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread a thin layer of hot mustard on a large piece of tinfoil. Lay the chicken evenly across the tinfoil and then spread another thin layer of hot mustard on top of the chicken. Make sure the tinfoil is large enough that you can fold it up and close it at the top, making a covered packet. Close the packet and bake for 25 minutes or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. While the chicken is in the oven, steam the broccoli and set it off to the side.
Once the chicken is done, remove the packet from the oven and carefully open it, as the steam coming out will be extremely hot. Brush a light layer of duck sauce over the chicken pieces—adding this sauce after rather than before cooking will help make the flavor stronger, while using less sauce and saving calories.
Serve with lots of steamed broccoli (or other veggies) and a small portion (1/2 to 1 cup) of cooked brown rice.
This recipe makes 4 servings, and each serving weighs in at only approximately 175 calories!
The Pizza Shop Meal: Pizza
The typical slice of pizza is not only greasy, but it's also low in fiber and high in fat, carbs and calories.
The Pizza Shop-inspired Meal: Mini-Pizza Eggplant Rounds
Why we love it:Who doesn't love pizza? Our version comes without much of the carbs, fat and calories, but it is packed with the veggies, extra nutrients and fiber that most meals lack.
How to make it: Ingredients 1 eggplant Olive oil Parmesan cheese Low-fat, low-sodium tomato sauce Low-fat mozzarella, shredded Black pepper or Italian seasoning
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Slice an eggplant into thin rounds, about ½ inch thick. With olive oild, lightly spray both a baking sheet and the eggplant rounds and arrange them on the baking tray. Heat the rounds until hot, which should take about five minutes. Once hot take them out and flip them over, sprinkling each round with a teaspoon of grated Parmesan before returning them to the oven for about five minutes or until the parmesan is melted. Take them out once again and add one tablespoon each of tomato sauce and shredded low-fat mozzarella on each eggplant round. Return the eggplant rounds to the oven and bake one final time for another five minutes or until cheese is bubbling. Season with black pepper or Italian seasoning and enjoy!
Good-bye carb-heavy dough—hello, low-calorie, antioxidant-packed fiber! Each round has just 60 calories!

Kewl... We can use more P99s being spread out throught the land
Were they A/S models
I was talking about you today! LOL! They marched out our new and very rare shipment of P99s today. They got fondled repeatedly and will probably press charges, but in the conversation I was telling my co-workers about the finish on yours. I think we may have some guest visitors here looking for the pictures.
Kewl... We can use more P99s being spread out throught the land
Were they A/S models
Yes, they were. And truth be told, if I had $613 to spend I would have brought home the 9mm today. Sweet little thing!
Yes, they are sweet. That is kinda high, though.
At gun shows, I have seen P99s as low as $515. And, at the Houston Gander Mountain, I've seen them as high as $639.
I paid $515 for my compact last year when they were on closeout (in the Fall of 2005, they stopped importing the A/S, but then started again this spring). And, my fullsize was somewhere around $565. I think anything over $600 is way to expensive for a P99.
But, glad ya like it
I will have one some day. It is such a sweet feeling gun, and the one I shot months ago was just perfection. I'm sure these two sweeties will be gone within a week.
After I ordered mine, my local shop decided to order 2 more, to see if there was any interest. But, the silly man ordered the QA trigger. Took some time for him to sell both the 9mm one and the one in 40. It is the A/S that is sweet
Now, they have a SW990L down there - the Smith version of the QA.
I have a SW99, the Smith version of the A/S. It is a nice gun. Too bad S&W discontinued the SW99 at the end of 2005.

Reviews of this property
We had a great holiday in Nice during Easter 2016.
The apartment is really nice, exactly as described, in a quiet position; I absolutely recommend it, especially for a short period (in my opinion, 4 people, especially if adults, in that apartment are not really comfortable at 100%).
It's 10 minutes far from Promenade des Anglais. Near the apartment are available supermarket, bakery, pharmacy ecc.
Salvatore and his cousin are affable and helpful.
Free to choose this apartment, you will not regret !!!
The keys of the apartment worked fine. It was all very clean and spacious terrace is an ideal place to linger. The location was ideal for us. (Train station, supermarket, sea, beach and bus station all in the immediate vicinity). We would definitely come back, in a possible next Nice stay.
Die Schlüsselübergabe der Wohnung hat bestens geklappt. Es war alles sehr sauber und die grosszügige Terrasse ist ein idealer Ort um zu verweilen. Die Lage war für uns ideal. (Bahnhof, Supermarkt, Meer, Strand und Bushaltestelle alles in unmittelbarer Nähe). Wir kommen gerne wieder, bei einem allfälligen nächsten Nizza-Aufenthalt.
Very gracious host. Salvatore is friendly and courteous, everything was well organized. The apartment was great, spacious and well maintained. We had a really good break. Many Thanks!
Sehr toller Gastgeber. Salvatore ist freundlich und zuvorkommend, alles war gut organisiert. Die Wohnung war Genial, grossräumig und gepflegt. Wir hatten einen richtig guten Kurzurlaub. Vielen Dank!
It was a Perfect stay. The Apartment was very clean. Thank you for The Great tips about The City of nice
We rented an apartment for 1 week and we were very well treated when we picked up the key to the apartment.
We got great information about both the apartment and the city, and what you should do and not do.
Smooth and easy to retrieve the key and leave the apartment.
The apartment felt clean and fresh.

Vi hyrde en lägenhet 1 vecka och vi blev väldigt bra bemötta när vi hämtade nyckel till lägenheten.
Vi fick jättebra information om både lägenhet och staden och vad man bör göra och inte göra.
Smidigt och enkelt att hämta nyckel och att lämna lägenheten.
Lägenheten kändes ren och fräsch.

We (3 girl friends) spent a very pleasant weekend in the appartment. The terrace is spacious, the appartment in a very good condition. Everything was clean, incl. towels and bed covers.
The host couldn't meet us but his helpful and very friendly cousin. He let us in earlier so that we could leave the luggage- a big help!
The location is good, the bus from the airport stops close by and if you want to take a bus to the center it is quick and easy.
We would come back any time and recommend the appartment.
Nice appartement in a good location; also if it takes a bit of walking to the old town.
All the appointments with Salvatore were perfect, we got the keys for the appartment and a few instructions.
The apartment is absolutely brilliant - with a great terrace and a nice kitchen suitable for making breakfast and quick snacks. The host is very friendly and helpful – and quick to reply when contacted.
The apartment is located in the more quit part of Nice, and still only 700m from the beach very close to walking street and the old town. There is three Casino supermarket within 200-300m and two bakeries around the corner - the small funky organic "Bread" 50m up Gambetta and the big old school croissant pastry café on the of Gambetta corner. It's also quite easy to get there from airport if u take the cheap local bus 23 and get off at Alsace Lorraine (when u come from the airport it's the second stop on Gambetta). The apartment is also very close the Nice main train station – so u can get to Cannes in 30 min, and Monaco in 20 min.

Pears are simmered in a blend of tart pomegranate juice and sweet dessert wine with gorgeous garnet-red results. The pears are served with the reduced poaching liquid and a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds and toasted almonds. A touch of tangy reduced-fat sour cream adds both flavor and visual contrast. This dessert makes a striking finale to any festive meal.

Serves 4
Prep Time 30 min
Total Time 75 min.
Step 1
Peel pears, leaving them whole and stems intact. Slice off the bases so the pears will stand upright. Use an apple corer to remove cores, if desired, working from the base up.
Step 2
Place the pears on their sides in a large saucepan or small Dutch oven. Pour pomegranate juice and wine over the pears. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until the pears are tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 30 to 45 minutes. Turn very gently once or twice as they cook so they color evenly. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pears to a shallow bowl and set aside.
Step 3
Boil the poaching liquid over high heat until the sauce is reduced to 1/2 cup, 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, toast almonds in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until light golden and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl to cool.
Step 5
To serve, spoon 1 tablespoon sauce onto each of 4 dessert plates. Place a pear upright on each plate. Drizzle remaining sauce over each pear. Sprinkle pomegranate seeds around the pears and top with the almonds. Garnish each serving with a dollop of sour cream (or yogurt) and a bay leaf.

Looking back on her season, Drake's Lauren Emge has no regrets — and why should she? Emge helped lead the team to an 8-0 record in MCAL play, captured its second league title in two years and made it to the North Coast Section semifinals.
"She used her strength to her advantage," Drake coach Peter Galli said. "Her playmaking ability forced her opponents to drop back on her," which created opportunities for her teammates, he added.
"Her dominant and unselfish play"... (made) for team victories."
As for Emge herself, being named the league's player of the year was just one more thing to celebrate.
"It was such an honor," she said. "I have been trying to get there since I was a freshman."
After she graduates from Drake, Emge won't be very far away. She's been recruited to play Division I water polo at UC Davis.
"I still don't feel like it's really happening," Emge said. "To know where I'm going"... it's unbelievable. UC Davis was my first choice."
Drake, which was seeded third, tore through its NCS opponents easily, with 21-4 and 15-6 wins over Encinal and Piedmont, respectively. The Pirates lost to Acalanes 8-4 in the semifinals, which went on to an 8-7 loss to D-II powerhouse Campolindo.
The Pirates finished 23-5, and their advancement beyond the second round was the best the team had accomplished in a while.
"I've been playing with most of these girls for four years," Emge said. "I know exactly what every girl is going to do every moment and it's just great."
When Emge began playing water polo as a freshman, she admitted she had no interest in playing beyond high school.
"Looking back and seeing "... I tried, I know that I can push myself and accomplish something (is special)," Emge said.

The Prague apartment was very clean, nicely furnished and conveniently gelegen.Gleich upon arrival we received at the reception tips.
Tram and metro 3 min. Away. It is quite possible from here also much walk to erreichen.In the immediate vicinity there are several restaurants and mini-markets. Our apartment was facing the courtyard out and absolutely quiet. Everything was perfect. This Wimdu booking was a positive surprise and we are already planning the next destination.
Das Apartment in Prag war sehr sauber, nett eingerichtet und günstig gelegen.Gleich bei der Ankunft haben wir an der Rezeption Tips bekommen.
Straßenbahn und Metro sind 3 Min. entfernt. Es ist gut möglich, von hier aus auch vieles zu Fuß zu erreichen.In der nächsten Umgebung gibt es diverse Restaurants sowie Mini-markets. Unsere Wohnung war zum Hof raus und absolut ruhig. Alles war bestens. Diese Wimdu-Buchung hat uns positiv überrascht und wir planen schon das nächste Ziel.
The apartment was big, very clean and beautifully decorated. It even had to bathrooms!
The receptionist was very nice and helpful. Our car was to big to fit in their parking, so they found another one for us in a near hotel.
The breakfast was a bit expensive, but they also recommended us other places to go. However, we decided to have breakfast there because it was faster.
The street was quite noisy but with the windows closed it was not a problem to sleep.
It is a long walk to the center, but it is not far from the Wenceslao Square and it is very well connected with tram.
It was a great stay!
Our stay in the Royal Court Apartments was lovely. The apartment was exactly as in the photo. We got an upgrade to a larger place, which was more into the city center. The staff was very friendly and we got a bottle of champagne because of the switch in apartments, which was extremely nice.
Elizabeth was very nice to be in contact with. She gave me a lot of information about the public traffic and how we could get to the apartment. The apartment itself was really specious and clean. The bed was very comfortable and the living room was really nice and cosy to stay in. The only bad thing was that you had to wait for about 5 minutes before the water of the shower was warm. But for the rest, the apartment was just perfect! It was really clean and in good condition and a cleaning lady came by almost every day. We felt really home and we would definately like to visit this place again.
Elizabeth we loved your appartment! It was really neat and clean and we had a very pleasant stay there. If we ever come back to Prague, we would book it again.
Thank you!
Hey Dear Elizabeth,
I would like to thank you for your helpful consults. The location of your building was really perfect and that was a clean apartment but unfortunately there were some disappointing points about the apartment that surprised me and my family. In fact, that was not what I saw in the photos and what I reserved. Your colleague gave us a grunt!!! The radiators were off and my parents in law were really suffering. The refrigerator was really inoperative, all our shops were frozen completely, the fruits, the drinks,… and I'm not sure that the next time I reserved an apartment by Wimdu or not? Because the information published on the site is not at all in accord with reality.
I wish u all the bests,
It was very nice time in Prague. I was so nice suprised about great contact before coming, very good conditions and breakfasts in hotel and very helpful and pleasant staff. I can recommend this hotel for everybody. Thank You very much.
We stayed for 5 nights in January 2014. The apartments are just as described on the website. We were surprised about how spacious and well equipped it was. There was underfloor heating in the bathroom, liquid hand soap and a safe! Little things of luxury that can make a difference. It was new, modern and very clean and beds get made and apartments cleaned EVERY DAY! The reception staff were friendly and helpful. Our only issue had been some building works, which was ongoing in the apartment block, which mean we were woken up at 7:45 every day with drilling, hammering etc going on, so no chance of a lie in and rubbish removal twice in that week at 6am in the morning, hence the 4 starts. I will definitely stay here again and will recommend it, very good value!
Nice room (incl. great shower!), great breakfast, and friendly staff. Recommended!

Bheki Makhubu raises freedom flag in Swaziland
After high school, Bhekitemba Makhubu's father wanted him to study for a law degree. He refused, insisting on following in his father's footsteps as a journalist. Now, aged 43, he doesn't regret his choice, but besides his job as editor of the privately owned monthly magazine, The Nation, he is also studying for a law degree. On April 17, the Swaziland high court sentenced Bheki Makhubu, to two years imprisonment or a fine of US$20,000 for comments published in The Nation about the head of the country's supreme court. On a recent visit to Cape Town he spoke to CPJ about Swaziland's media environment, what motivates him, and the upcoming election. The interview has been edited for length.

The main drawing point to Karlovy Vary is the mineral spring water. Locales believe the spring water has a healing effect. The legend behind the discovery of the springs is pretty cool and interesting. The springs were first discovered when King Charles was hunting gazelle with his dogs. Somehow a gazelle was injured (a broken leg?) and the dogs and Charles were closing in on the gazelle. To avoid being killed, the gazelle jumped off a small cliff and landed into a mineral spring. Charles' dogs followed the gazelle over the cliff. But, amazingly after the gazelle had landed in the pool the gazelle galloped away as if its leg was no longer broken and evaded Charles and the dogs. It was at this moment that Charles is credited with discovering the healing powers of the Karlovy Vary mineral springs.
Now-a-days People, from all over the world, travel to Karlovy Vary to taste its mineral waters. There are very strict regulations about how much water can be taken and how the water should be used. No person is allowed to take more than 1.0 L away and all the water taken must be drank. No one is allowed to pour the water out in on the ground or anything.
When I first arrived in Karlovy Vary I was mesmerized! The city gives off a really cool vibe. The main part of the city runs parallel to a river/spring that passes directly through the city. There are small houses and local businesses everywhere. The scenery is abundant with trees, changing color for fall, and mountains. There are cathedrals and historic buildings everywhere. The city is major eye candy. But the best part of Karlovy Vary is the mineral springs.
Immediately after entering the downtown area of the city, there were tons of tourists and tourist shops everywhere. There were so many that the city did lose a bit of its glamour, but it was still really cool none-the-less. I started to notice people walking around with highly decorated Porcelain mugs. These mugs were like nothing I have ever seen before. The handle of the mug served a dual purpose as a straw. So basically there are all these people walking around sipping on the handles of porcelain mugs. I started looking at mugs and found one that caught my eye but I decided against buying it; I didn't know what they were for.
As I walked through the city taking pictures of all the cool architecture, I saw a crowd forming around this outside patio like house. I went over to investigate and I saw them filling their mugs with water from a draining snake spigot.
I had a water bottle but I did not know if I could walk over and fill it up so I went up to the spigot and drank some water from my hands. It was weird tasting for water; it reminded me of highly carbonated well water. I ended up buying the coolest mug I could find and then continued walking through the city.
All in all there were 12 mineral springs you could drink from. Each had a different name, taste, and temperature. The water varied from ~ 30 deg. C to 72 deg. C.
This place was perfect for me I love water. I was drinking mug after mug nothing could stop me.
That is until my bladder was filled. The water may be free but bathroom use isn't. If that isn't a great racket I don't know what is. Have people walk around your town drinking water and then hit them up when they have to relieve themselves. Granted the bathroom was cheap only like $0.40, but there are tons of people going to the washroom. I think it is a pretty good business.
In one of the collenades they had a computer that displayed which type of water you should drink to cure different ailments. I glanced quickly at it but nothing really held my attention.
After walking to the end of the town, I ended up at this huge hotel that looked really familiar to me. It took me a while but I finally realized where I knew the hotel from. It was in the latest James Bond film Casino Royale.
It was pretty cool to see it and to be able to recognize it. I checked the internet when I got home and sure enough some of the film was shot at the Grand Pupp hotel in Karlovy Vary.
The main city strip was relatively small only a couple blocks and I walked it for a few hours. Eventually I decided to go hiking through the wooded trails and to visit this very scenic viewpoint - Diana's point. I didn't really know where it was I just knew it was in the woods behind the Grand Pupp. It took me about an hour to hike to the top of the mountain. I was kind of sweaty and my feet were hurting. When I got to the top there were quite a few people just chilling up some were even pretty old - they seemed to be in good shape I didn't think anything of it. Immediately I was impressed with their ability to climb the mountain. In fact I thought to myself that I hope I can be as active as them when I am their age. I was really astonished.
Then as I began to walk more, I started to notice a lot of people - a lot more old people and even some really young kids like 4 or 5 years old. Now I knew something was fishy. I didn't see anyone else hiking while I was going up and it seems strange that so many people would be up there. Furthermore, there is no way a 4 year old could hike up that mountain and there is no parent alive who would carry their kid up that mountain. I started to look around and I discovered there was a tram that went from the bottom of the mountain to the top. I quickly lost all respect for the elderly and other people atop the mountain; I had once again found another reason to hold myself in a higher light.
So after climbing the mountain I finally made it to Diana's point. Diana's point is a tower that rises 1,425 feet off the mountain and over the trees to give a really scenic viewpoint.
There was a long line to enter the tower and I couldn't figure out why. I then realized that all the people were the tram riders and were too lazy to walk to the top of the tower; they were in line for an elevator. I hustled past them shouting "Prominte" (Sorry) and then went up the stairs. When I got to the top of the tower, the view was amazing. I was pretty excited. I looked for a while and then decided to take some pictures.
The first picture I took was into the sun so I couldn't see the LCD to see how it came out. At this time I was thinking how pissed off I would be if my camera didn't work and I hiked all the way here and can't have a photo to remember it. I went to snap my second photo when I noticed a fucking black bar across the screen again.
I don't believe it at first. This would be the third time this camera model was broken within 3 months. I turn the camera on and off and nothing works. I look at the lens I don't see anything blocking it - short and simple the camera is fucked. Luckily, my faith in Olympus has greatly been reduced since I have had to return the camera twice already; I decided to bring a spare camera.
When I fished it out of my bag the camera wouldn't turn on. The battery must have died. Now I am pissed off. I take out my camera, which captures images with a thick black bar through it and I start banging the camera on the ledge. I am pissed off and figure I will be returning the camera anyways. All these people start looking at me. I don't care I am really pissed. I decide to turn my camera on one more time before leaving the tower and when I do - it's fixed. No more black bar. I guess beating the hell out of my "indestructible" camera must have worked. I was no longer pissed and was able to take in the scenery once again.

The Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra was established in 1935 in Warsaw by Grzegorz Fitelberg, its leader until the outbreak of World War II. In 1945 the orchestra was revived in Katowice by Witold Rowicki, and in 1947 Fitelberg returned as artistic director. After his death in 1953 the orchestra was headed in succession by Jan Krenz, Bohdan Wodiczko, Kazimierz Kord, Tadeusz Strugała, Jerzy Maksymiuk, Stanisław Wisłocki, Jacek Kaspszyk, Antoni Wit, Gabriel Chmura and, once again, Jacek Kaspszyk. In September 2000 Joanna Wnuk-Nazarowa was appointed general and programme director and Michał Klauza became associate conductor. Stanisław Skrowaczewski holds the title of first guest conductor of the PNRSO, Jan Krenz is an honorary director and the artistic advisor is Jerzy Semkow. At the beginning of the season 2012/2013, Alexander Liebreich became artistic director and chief conductor. Apart from making archival recordings for the Polish Radio, the orchestra has recorded more than two hundred CD albums for many renowned record companies (including Decca, EMI, Philips, Chandos, and Naxos), with awards including the Diapason d'Or and Grand Prix du Disque de la Nouvelle Académie du Disque, Cannes Classical Award, and Midem Classical Award. The orchestra has collaborated with many distinguished conductors and soloists and performed in concert throughout the world.

Gary Lauterbach says that Google racked its servers like hot bread at a bakery.
The year was 2001. Lauterbach was the chief microprocessor architect at Sun Microsystems, and two of his old Sun pals, Eric Schmidt and Wayne Rosing, had just joined Google. One afternoon, Lauterbach and another Sun bigwig, Jim Mitchell, walked to Google's Palo Alto, California, office to see the server room. Even then, Google used a very different kind of server. According to Lauterbach, dirt-cheap motherboards were slotted into what looked like bread racks. These "bread rack servers" — as Lauterbach and others still call them — had no cases. They just sat on the racks, exposed to the open air.
Sun was a company that sold massive, monolithic servers built around the brawny UltraSPARC processors Lauterbach helped design. After seeing Google's machines, Mitchell turned to Lauterbach and said: "Those servers are so cheap and use so little power, we have no hope of building a product to help them." It was a moment of defeat. But for Lauterbach, it was also a moment of inspiration. Sun couldn't build server hardware for an outfit like Google. But maybe he could.
A half decade later, Lauterbach met a man with a similar story. His name was Andrew Feldman, and he had worked for Force10 Networks, an outfit that sold Google hundreds of millions of dollars in networking equipment. By the time Feldman saw the inside of the search giant, Google had outgrown its bread- rack servers — it had built a new breed of server, not to mention a worldwide network of data centers — but he learned much the same lesson as Lauterbach. Part of Google's secret was a knack for minimizing the power used by its servers. "They were buying mind-boggling amounts of networking equipment, but [networking] wasn't their primary problem," he remembers. "Their primary problem was power."
Inspired by Google, Gary Lauterbach and Andrew Feldman joined forces to start a company called SeaMicro. Rather than building servers with the world's fastest chips, the Sunnyvale, California, startup would build them with hundreds of processors originally designed for cellphones and other mobile devices. It was the bread-rack server taken to extremes. The aim was to save both power and space inside the data centers underpinning the web's most popular services.
"Everyone was having the same problem [as Google]," says Andrew Feldman, who serves as SeaMicro CEO, while Lauterbach handles the CTO duties. "Suddenly, power and space had become these enormous issues in the data center, whereas just a few years before, no one ever mentioned them." When you reach a certain size, power and space eat up enormous amounts of money.
Revenge of the Wimps
As it turns out, SeaMicro was in the vanguard of a movement to reinvent the internet data center with processors that are considerably slower than traditional server chips. Carnegie Mellon professor Dave Andersen calls them "wimpy nodes" or "wimpy cores." But if you put them together, they aren't that wimpy. Gary Lauterbach prefers the term "scale-down" computing.
The trick is to break software applications into tiny pieces that can then be spread across these low-power chips. SeaMicro machines use Intel's mobile chip, the Atom, while other outfits — including HP and an Austin, Texas company called Calxeda — are building servers packed with hundreds of ARM chips not unlike the one at the heart of the Apple iPhone.
Two years after SeaMicro released its first machines, some outfits are already using them to run their operations, including Mozilla, the maker of the open source Firefox browser, and eHarmony, the online dating site. And Facebook — one of those giants of the internet — has said that it's seriously considering a move to wimpy nodes.
But there are hurdles. Some applications must be rewritten to run effectively on these machines, and Facebook has said that it can't make the switch until these systems can accomodate more memory. Intel's Atom chip wasn't designed to address the massive amounts of memory used by modern internet services.
In fact, Google — the company that inspired SeaMicro — has published a research paper that pours some cold water on the idea of running applications across hundreds of very low-power chips. Feldman and Lauterbach acknowledge the irony, but they're confident the hurdles facing wimpy cores will be overcome. The Intel Atom will improve, and Feldman says that every internet player is potential customer — except for Google. Google, he says, is a special case.
The Search Engine That Builds Switches
Sometime in 2007 or 2008, Google quit buying all that networking hardware from Force10. The search giant won't discuss the change, but according to many people who have worked with the company, it's now building its own network routers and switches. This is all part of its effort to create what it calls "warehouse-scale computers." At Google, data centers aren't data centers. They're computers the size of warehouses.
The idea is that the entire data center — from software to servers to, yes, networking hardware — must be designed to work as a whole. "These new large data centers are quite different from traditional hosting facilities of earlier times," Google engineers Urs Hölzle and Luiz Barroso wrote in a book they called The Datacenter as a Computer. "Large portions of the hardware and software resources in these facilities must work in concert to efficiently deliver good levels of internet service performance, something that can only be achieved by a holistic approach to their design and deployment. In other words, we must treat the data center itself as one massive warehouse-scale computer."
Part of this involves spreading software applications evenly across a large array of machines. As Barroso recently told Wired, Google was in some ways at the forefront of the "wimpy node" movement, using commodity hardware in its data centers rather than super-expensive servers. Compared to Sun's servers, those bread-rack servers were very wimpy indeed. But Barroso and Hölzle believe there's a limit to how thin you can spread your application — to how "wimpy" your nodes can be. Last year, Hölzle published a paper — edited by Barroso — called "Brawny cores still beat wimpy cores, most of the time."
According to Barroso, the problem is that as you break your application into tiny and tiny pieces — spreading it across more and more servers — it becomes more difficult to do so. There comes a point where it's not worth the effort. Eventually, you run into Amdahl's Law, a late 1960s proclamation from IBM engineer Gene Amdahl that says your performance will improve only so much if you parallelize only part of your system.
Gary Lauterbach and Andrew Feldman agree that some applications run on SeaMicros servers better than others. "There are certain situations where you want a Toyota Tercel, and others where you want a Ford F150," Feldman says. "The car analogy is a good one. You have to think about what you're transporting and how many trips you're taking."
But for the most part, he continues, large internet services are suited to wimpy cores. He thinks that Google's unwillingness to embrace the idea is down its unique infrastructure. Google has so finely tuned each piece of hardware to work in tandem with every other part, there's no way of accommodating wimpy nodes — unless it starts from scratch. In short, he says, Google's networking hardware is designed for brawny cores, not wimpy.
"Google tackled the power problem by building their own servers and later building their own switches, trying to tune the whole facility to do the work," he says. "But not everyone can do that. And there are other ways to solve the problem. One option is to build servers in a different way."
One Server. 768 Cores
SeaMicro's latest server includes 384 Intel Atom chips, and each chip has two "cores," which are essentially processors unto themselves. This means the machine can handle 768 tasks at once, and if you're running software suited to this massively parallel setup, you can indeed save power and space.
Today, Mozilla is using SeaMicro's older 512-core machines to handle downloads of its Firefox browser, and though it declined to discuss the setup for this story, the open source outfit is on the record saying that its SeaMicro cluster draws about one fifth of the power and uses about a fourth of the space of its previous cluster.
According to Dave Andersen — the Carnegie Mellon computer science professor who coined the "wimpy node" name — servers such as SeaMicro's are well suited to the sort of simple web-serving Mozilla is doing. But with his Fast Array of Wimpy Nodes project, he has also shown that large numbers of low-power chips are suited to running databases and other large internet applications.
In recent years, the Google infrastructure has inspired so many new hardware and software platforms, from Facebook's Open Compute servers to the Hadoop open source number-crunching platform to NoSQL databases such MongoDB and Cassandra. SeaMicro is just another example.
Some of the projects closely follow the Google way, while others, such as SeaMicro, take the original idea in new places. With both, the thing to remember is that Google is not a typical business. "The choices they make are idiosyncratic, and they're not necessarily transferrable to others," Feldman says. Once these ideas leave Google, they must be judged — for better or for worse — on how they serve everyone else. Not how they serve Google.
Of course Google doesn't want SeaMicro's servers. It builds its own machines. And its software is tuned to those machines. But few other internet companies work that way. Though Google's "bread rack" servers inspired SeaMicro, that was many years ago. Gary Lauterbach and Andrew Feldman have moved on. And so has Google.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

The PSA test is used primarily to screen for prostate cancer. A PSA test measures the amount of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in your blood. PSA is a protein produced in the prostate, a small gland that sits below a man's bladder. PSA is mostly found in semen, which also is produced in the prostate. Small amounts of PSA ordinarily circulate in the blood.
The PSA test can detect high levels of PSA that may indicate the presence of prostate cancer. However, many other conditions, such as an enlarged or inflamed prostate, can also increase PSA levels.
There is a lot of conflicting advice about PSA testing. Ultimately, whether you have a PSA test is something you should decide after discussing it with your doctor, considering your risk factors and weighing your personal preferences.
A Pap smear, also called a Pap test, is a procedure to test for cervical cancer in women. A Pap smear involves collecting cells from your cervix — the lower, narrow end of your uterus that's at the top of your vagina.
Detecting cervical cancer early with a Pap smear gives you a greater chance at a cure. A Pap smear can also detect changes in your cervical cells that suggest cancer may develop in the future. Detecting these abnormal cells early with a Pap smear is your first step in halting the possible development of cervical cancer.
A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that helps reveal how your tissues and organs are functioning. A PET scan uses a radioactive drug (tracer) to show this activity.
The tracer may be injected, swallowed or inhaled, depending on which organ or tissue is being studied by the PET scan. The tracer collects in areas of your body that have higher levels of chemical activity, which often correspond to areas of disease. On a PET scan, these areas show up as bright spots.
A PET scan is useful in revealing or evaluating several conditions, including some cancers, heart disease and brain disorders.
A prostate biopsy is a procedure to remove samples of suspicious tissue from the prostate. The prostate is a small, walnut-shaped gland in men that produces fluid that nourishes and transports sperm.
During a prostate biopsy, also called a core needle biopsy, a fine needle is used to collect a number of tissue samples from your prostate gland. A prostate biopsy is performed by a doctor who specializes in the urinary system and men's sex organs (urologist).
Your urologist may recommend a prostate biopsy if results from initial tests, such as a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test or digital rectal exam (DRE), suggest you may have prostate cancer.
Following a prostate biopsy, tissue samples from the prostate biopsy are examined under a microscope for cell abnormalities that are a sign of prostate cancer. If cancer is present, it is evaluated to determine how quickly it's likely to grow and spread and to determine your best treatment options.
Prostate brachytherapy (brak-e-THER-uh-pee) is a form of radiation therapy used to treat prostate cancer. Prostate brachytherapy involves placing devices containing radiation in the prostate gland close to the cancer cells.
Prostate brachytherapy procedures vary based on the type of radiation you'll receive. Temporary prostate brachytherapy involves placing radioactive wires in the prostate gland for several minutes before the wires are removed. Permanent prostate brachytherapy involves placing radioactive seeds in the prostate gland permanently, where they slowly release radiation.
The goal of prostate brachytherapy is to place the radiation close to the cancer cells, where the radiation can kill the cancer cells while causing less damage to healthy tissue nearby. Prostate brachytherapy side effects can include difficulty urinating and erectile dysfunction.
Radiation therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses beams of intense energy to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy most often gets its power from X-rays, but the power can also come from protons or other types of energy.
The term "radiation therapy" most often refers to external beam radiation therapy. During this type of radiation, the high-energy beams come from a machine outside of your body that aims the beams at a precise point on your body. During a different type of radiation treatment called brachytherapy (brak-e-THER-uh-pee), radiation is placed inside your body.
Radiation therapy damages cells by destroying the genetic material that controls how cells grow and divide. While both healthy and cancerous cells are damaged by radiation therapy, the goal of radiation therapy is to destroy as few normal, healthy cells as possible.
Radiation therapy for breast cancer uses high-powered X-rays to kill cancer cells. Rapidly growing cells, such as cancer cells, are more susceptible to the effects of radiation therapy than are normal cells.
One of two approaches may be used with radiation therapy for breast cancer:
Radiation therapy may be used to treat breast cancer at almost every stage. It's an effective way to reduce your risk of breast cancer recurring after surgery. It can also help control the spread of breast cancer and offer pain relief for advanced breast cancer.
Sentinel node biopsy is a surgical procedure used to determine if cancer has spread beyond a primary tumor into your lymphatic system. Sentinel node biopsy is used most commonly in evaluating breast cancer and melanoma.
The sentinel nodes are the first few lymph nodes into which a tumor drains. Sentinel node biopsy involves injecting a tracer material that helps the surgeon locate the sentinel nodes during surgery. The sentinel nodes are removed and analyzed in a laboratory. If the sentinel nodes are free of cancer, then cancer isn't likely to have spread and removing additional lymph nodes is unnecessary.
If, after sentinel node biopsy, evaluation of the sentinel nodes reveals cancer, then you'll likely need additional lymph nodes removed for your doctor to determine how far the cancer has spread.
A skin biopsy removes cells or skin samples from the surface of your body. The sample taken from a skin biopsy is examined to provide information about your medical condition. A doctor uses a skin biopsy to diagnose or rule out certain skin conditions and diseases.
Three main types of skin biopsies are:
Urine cytology is a test to look for abnormal cells in your urine. Urine cytology is used along with other tests and procedures to diagnose urinary tract cancers.
Urine cytology is most often used to diagnose bladder cancer, though it may also detect cancers of the kidney, prostate, ureter and urethra.
Your doctor may recommend a urine cytology test if blood has been detected in your urine (hematuria).
Urine cytology may also be used in people who have already been diagnosed with bladder cancer and have undergone treatment. In these cases, a urine cytology test may help detect a bladder cancer recurrence.

Poor Bobbi Kristina! She doesn't know who to trust and who's just using her in a bitter family feud with Bobby Brown and more, Hollywoodlife.com has learned exclusively.
As if losing her mother wasn't hard enough, Bobbi Kristina now feels like she's being used as a bargaining chip in her family's ongoing feud, a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. Whitney Houston's 18-year-old daughter "doesn't really have any close friends her age for any type of outlet. She could really only trust her mom."
And as tensions continue to flare between her dad, Bobby Brown, and the rest of Whitney's family, Bobbi Kristina "feels she is being used as a tool to get family members to take sides."
Needless to say, talk of Bobbi Kristina entering rehab is now "going in one ear and out the other, because she really is having some major trust issues."
We feel so awful for Bobbi Kristina right now. She looked devastated at her mother's funeral this weekend, and we can only hope she finds the strength to pick up the pieces. Hopefully she'll also regain some trust within her family, since she'll need their support in the future.

Our fun, half-day sea kayaking introduction is an excellent place to learn the basic paddling techniques you need for a seaborne adventure.
This exciting sea-kayaking course is perfect for beginners, recreational paddlers and anyone else who wants to start enjoying this popular sport. We'll teach you the paddling skills you need to embark on most kayaking adventures.
You'll start by learning the paddling skills you need to improve your control and efficiency out on the open water. In a small group setting, you'll get plenty of one-on-one attention as our Registered Maine Guides share their knowledge and answer your questions. You'll learn how to effectively use each piece of equipment. They'll also explain kayak design and boat fit helpful information for when you purchase your first or next boat.
After this thorough introduction to the sport, you'll learn paddling terminology and basic paddling strokes. They'll guide you step by step through each stroke, helping you hone and refine your abilities. You'll learn the reverse, sweep, low brace and stern draw strokes, allowing you to paddle straighter, turn quicker and navigate around obstacles.
You should expect to work hard, get wet and see substantial improvements in your technique by the end of the course.
All necessary paddling equipment is provided.
L.L.Bean does not usually cancel events due to inclement weather. However, we reserve the right to cancel an event at any time due to severe weather, low enrollment or other concerns. If L.L.Bean cancels your event, you will receive a full refund for the cost of your reservation.
Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy
*Synthetic clothing dries quickly and is the best choice for outdoor pursuits. Please do not wear cotton clothing. When wet, cotton rapidly robs the heat from your body and takes a long time to dry. We also recommend you dress in multiple layers, allowing you more flexibility to comfortably respond to the weather conditions and your level of exertion.
Please call ahead if you plan to use your own equipment as it must pass inspection by L.L.Bean staff before use. If it's deemed unsuitable, we will provide you with the necessary equipment.

It's been a trend. HOW can we ignore it?? If we aren't trying to obtain these good players for the line, am I supposed to genuinely believe that we're going to rely on the draft?? That's never really been our thing, i'd be shocked.
I'll leave my judgement for when the names i'm expecting get swiped by other teams.

Nice bike, nashbar need to step up assembly instructions
By DaveNJ
from Bridgewater nj
Hi don't usually ever right a review but hope I can save people a little aggravation. I bought this bike for my sixth grade daughter. It is a very nice bike but mine came with no instructions and some factory assembly issues. I've been mountain biking and as a result repairing bikes for 25 years and spent some time scratching my head at what didn't look right. . So first off with no instructions this is what you are in for you must add the reflectors, front rim and brake, pedals and the headset/handles bars. So my handle bars were mounted backwards, front shock had the spacers mounted wrong and the derailed cables were crisscrosses under the bottom tube. Took me a while to figure out were things went had to take off the shock twice to route cables properly. It would save a lot of time if the bike came with detailed assembly diagrams since many people won't have a similar bike in the garage. Tips: tools needed Allen wrench, screw driver, 15mm for pedals, pliers to crush the cap for the front brake cable and wire cutters for the same cable. The front relector goes on the handle bar and the rear on the seat post. If you don't have another bike to look at look at the picture of the headset on this page to check the cable or pictures of other mountain bikes on the web most route the four cables on the handlebars in the same fashion. The Bike does not come with two things kick stand and cup holder so be prepared to add to cart if they are needed. After assembly it is a real nice looking bike with decent components for the low entry price hopefully my daughter will agree! Nashbar please add some diagrams either in the box or on the website.

Excellent bike for the money
By Kim

About Me Avid Cyclist
I purchased this for my 14-year-old daughter, who needed to move up to an adult bike. After so many years of cheap department store bikes, I felt it was time she had a decent starter bike.I was pleasantly surprised to see that the frame was all aluminum, with an oversized downtube, so it's lightweight for an entry-level mountain bike. The grips are durable and heavy-duty, with grip-shifters. It came with Kenda tires, and I raced for years with Kenda on all of my mountain bikes and had great results.The bike was relatively easy to assemble--for me. There were no instructions for assembly in the box, so I was fortunate that I've built bikes from the frame-up in the past. People who have never serviced a bike or built one may have a tough time knowing how to put it together.Basically, I had to flip the handlebars, insert the stem in to the head tube and adjust it, attach the front wheel, and insert the front brake cable and adjust it as well as the front brake pads. The shifters have worked just fine, but the bike will get a fine tuning after my daughter rides it for a few more weeks.There are not stickers on the bike, so I decided to dig in to my parts box and pull out a bunch of cool stickers that can make the bike look more fun. There will be some people that may knock the welds on the bike; they are a little rough, but (again) I was not looking for a show bike.I thought this was a great value for the money, and I think this will be a bike my girl can have right in to her college years. At just over 200 bucks, I think anyone would be hard-pressed to find a bike of this caliber.
Love my bike!

I've used it on the streets in my neighborhood. I'm planning on riding it on some trails in a few days.
Great bike for my daughter
By Novice Bike Builder Angie
from Rockwall, TX
My daughter loves this bike! She has grown so much that the little kid bikes were too small and we didn't want to go with a big box retailer. It was my first time building a bike and while most of it was together, I had a difficult time with the front brakes. I chatted with someone at Nashbar on the help center but didn't get much help other than an article posted by someone else on what front brakes should look like when finished. Thank goodness for youtube! I found a short video out there on what to do and it was smooth sailing from then on. Now that I know how to do it, I need to buy a bike for me!

I feel good about my purchase
By Bike for fun
from Memphis, TN
I am a 52 year old woman who has not ridden a bike in years, and I have recently moved close to a Greenway and a park. Hope to use the bike for some recreation and exercise. I even put it together by myself (using youtube videos), because, the only issue I have is that the bike did not come with instructions on how to put it together. Since this is not my forte, I did, however, take it to a bike shop for a "once over" to make sure I had everything in line and the gears and brakes all set appropriately. I think this was a great buy and am happy about my new bike ownership.

Drake Waterfowl has a complete line of gloves that follow the SEASON TECHNOLOGY system just like their clothing line. Early Season, Mid Season and Late Season options that allow hunters to use gear designed for specific situations rather than forcing one item into all conditions. Innovation, design and quality are backed by industry leading Gore Technologies. Drakes hunting gloves are built for a specific purpose, from waterproof protection in every temperature range to motoring to and from your hunting location.
The MST Refuge Gore-Tex Hunting Glove by Drake Waterfowl is designed for those in between times of the season where you need more than a lightweight glove, but it's not cold enough for a heavy insulated glove. This MST hunting glove is constructed of our Refuge HS shell fabric and treated with DWR (Durable Water Repellant) to act as the first line of defense against the elements. The Gore-Tex membrane delivers 100% waterproof/breathable protection that waterfowl hunters need to be effective in the field. These gloves are built for the active hunter in mind.
One of these key features is the Stay Put liner system. This internal liner system eliminates the bunching, twisting, and pulling of the liner that is common with other gloves. This problem can be especially troubling when your hands are wet when you put on your gloves, only to have the liner try to turn inside-out when you remove the gloves. The Stay Put liner system eliminates this annoying problem.

text: I'm a believer in recycling and making things yourself whenever possible, plus I like a challenge. It must be my New England upbringing. When I got interested in keeping bees I thought '"what can I make myself to save some money and just to try it." A smoker seemed like a good enough challenge. The only thing special I used was a tool that rolled a bead on the copper strips. The rest was done with a pair of snips and regular hand tools.I scrounged the city lanfill for cans and metal scraps and had the wood, leather and bits of copper tubing laying around the workshop. The smoker is made from a red pepper can on the outside and tomato sauce can for the inner chamber. I figure it's perfect for working those Italian hives. I'd love to see what others have made for beekeeping using a little Yankee or Southern Ingenuity.

Female athlete triad refers to the combination of 3 medical conditions—eating problems, menstrual problems, and weak bones—seen in competitive female athletes. Prevention of the female athlete triad is important because it can interfere with normal growth and development, cause injury, and result in loss of strength and endurance.The following is information from the American Academy of Pediatrics about the 3 conditions and general guidance for prevention and treatment.
Eating problems occur when an athlete eats fewer calories than her body needs for growth, development, and exercise. Some athletes choose to limit their calories to improve performance or appearance. Other athletes are unaware that they aren't eating enough calories to meet the energy demands of their sport. The athlete may be eating enough for a nonathlete, but not enough for an athlete.Inadequate food intake is called disordered eating and can result in low energy availability (not having enough energy to fuel the body). For example, if an athlete only eats 2,000 calories per day but uses 3,200 calories, then she is eating 1,200 calories less than her body needs. In this case, the athlete will not have enough energy. This can hurt performance, slow growth and development, and increase the risk of injury and illness. This can also lead to an eating disorder, like anorexia or bulimia. Athletes of any sport may develop disordered eating, but some sports place athletes at higher risk. These include sports that emphasize leanness, such as gymnastics, dance, diving, figure skating, long-distance running, and crosscountry skiing, or sports that use weight classifications, such as wrestling, martial arts, and rowing.
Not eating enough calories can cause menstrual periods to become irregular (oligomenorrhea) or stop (amenorrhea). In the young athlete who isn't eating enough calories, menstrual periods may not start when they should.
All types of amenorrhea can be caused by not eating enough calories for energy expended; they are not caused by low body fat or the stress of exercise.
When a young athlete doesn't eat as many calories as her body needs, and has menstrual problems, her bones do not develop the normal strength. When this happens, a 16-year-old girl can have bones as weak as those of a 60-year-old woman. She may more easily develop stress fractures or, if severe, even compression fractures of the spine. This decrease in bone strength will continue until she has normal periods again but, even though she can regain some bone strength, she may never catch up to where she should be normally.
The female athlete triad can be prevented by eating enough calories, including fat, protein, and carbohydrates. Most female athletes need a minimum of 2,000 to 2,400 calories per day. Not only will this prevent menstrual problems and weak bones, it will help the athlete perform better!
If an athlete develops menstrual problems, she needs to see a doctor. It is not normal to skip periods or stop having periods. If an athlete cuts out the fats in her diet, decreases the amount of food she eats, loses weight, or skips periods, she should tell her doctor. Finally, if an athlete feels she needs to lose weight, she should consult her doctor first.
If an athlete is not having regular menstrual periods, she needs to see a doctor. The doctor needs to make sure there are no other reasons for menstrual problems (for example, thyroid disease).If a lack of enough calories is the cause of the menstrual problem, it will be important that the athlete increase her food intake. She will need to eat all of the nutrients her body needs, which includes carbohydrates, fats, and protein. It may be helpful for her to see a registered dietitian for nutrition counseling. The athlete should gradually increase her food intake until her menstrualperiods return.If it is difficult for the athlete to increase her food intake, she may need to decrease her exercise/sports activity instead. Once menstrual periods return, the athlete can slowly increase her activity again while increasing her food intake to maintain menstrual periods.If an athlete is not having regular menstrual periods, she needs to eat 5 servings of calcium per day. A serving would be 1 cup (8 ounces) of milk, yogurt, or calcium-fortified orange juice, or 1 ounce of cheese.If an athlete struggles with increasing her food intake, it may be helpful to have her see a counselor to work on why eating enough is difficult for her.

Remington HyperSonic Steel Shotshells
Sale price: Clearance price: Starting at: Sale starting at: Clearance starting at: Reg. price:
1700 fps from a steel load? Confidently sighting in on a goose at 60 yards? These are no longer a dream for waterfowl hunters with Remington®'s new HyperSonic Steel™ shotshells. These innovative loads are the fastest velocity, highest downrange pattern energies Remington has ever produced in a steel waterfowl loads. Its big speeds help reduce the lead you need to take on birds in the air, increasing your success rate and reducing the number of cripple shots flying away. The heart of this new shell is Remington's patented Xelerator wad. This innovative design features an "ignition chamber" filled with a small powder charge that moves the shell's entire payload forward slightly before the main charge ignites, providing increased volume behind the wad for the charge. This innovative wad is the key to delivering this kind of power without causing dangerous chamber pressures. The HyperSonic's shotcup starts out as one piece, keeping the shot together (to put more pellets in the head and neck) before "stress concentrators" on the sides cut the shotcup into petals, releasing the pellets. Don't ever watch pellets bounce off the chest of a long-range bird again, choose HyperSonic.
- Unprecedented velocity from a steel load
- 12 gauge are 1700 fps
- 20 gauge are 1600 fps
- Reduces lead required, increasing success rate
- Patented two-stage Xelerator wad - delivers power without dangerous chamber pressures
- Shotcup holds shot together initially for more pellets in the kill zone
- More kills and longer shots
- 25 round box

the least of our problems is that we have a 2 time SB MVP QB who we're paying $20 mill a season.
regardless of how he played this year, there's no way in hell we win that SB without him. so for people suggesting that Eli somehow isn't worth what he's getting paid is completely insane. there's a whole bunch of $15-20 mill QBs in the NFL, and we're lucky to have one of them.
If you renegotiate within the term of the original agreement, this is what happens.
If you extend, then the old money must go with the new contract with new money added.
If you cut him, them guaranteed money still counts.

Re: Soup's on!!
I make this when I have leftover curry...
500gm beef or lamb
2 onions
1 bulb garlic
800gm tin tomato
1 tbls cumin, coriander, tumeric, garam masala
1 tsp cinnamon, salt, pepper, chilli flakes/powder
Soften onion in a little oil, add meat and turn up high, when sealed add spices and garlic, stir for 5 minutes add tomato and rinse the can with 1/2 cup water, add and simmer for at least an hour. Serve with rice or whatever you like.
*Sometimes I add a tin of chickpeas to this type of curry.
1 litre water or stock of choice.
2 carrots
2 onions
3 sticks celery
1 parsnip or small turnip
400 gm tin tomato
1-2 cups instant couscous
leftover curry
natural yogurt & mint leaves.
Finely dice the veg, simmer with curry and toms for 20 minutes or so.
Add couscous, remove from heat,put on a lid... wait 5 minutes, give it a good stir.
Adjust seasoning carefully with salt.
Serve with a dollop of yogurt and shredded mint to garnish.
Even people who dont eat curry and dont eat veg have eaten this at my place.
I often have a container of leftover curry in the freezer, and this makes a lot of food in a hurry if you get a large group dropping in.

Re: Soup's on!!
I have made this soup and it is aromatic, tasty and easy to prepare.
Cream of Red Pepper Soup
Ingredients :
4 x Red peppers
1 x Onion, finely chopped
2 tbl Butter
1 sprg fresh rosemary
5 cup Stock, fresh or canned chicken or light vegetable stock
3 tbl Tomato paste
1/2 cup Heavy cream
Salt, freshly ground black pepper and paprika
Method :
• 1. Preheat the broiler. Put the peppers under the broiler and broil them, turning regularly until the skins have blackened all over. Put them into bags, sealing them closed. Leave them for 20 minutes.
• 2. Rub the blackened skin off the peppers, avoiding rinsing them under the tap if possible as this loses some the natural oil and hence the flavor.
• 3. Halve the peppers, removing the seeds, stalks and pith, then roughly chop the flesh.
• 4. Melt the butter in a deep saucepan. Add the onion and rosemary and cook gently over a low heat for about 5 minutes. Remove the rosemary and discard.
• 5. Add the peppers and stock to the onion, bring to a boil then simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, then process or sieve the soup to a smooth puree.
• 6. Stir in half the cream and season with salt, if necessary, and with pepper and a little paprika.
• 7. Serve the soup hot or chilled, with the remaining cream swirled delicately on top. Speckle the cream very lightly with a pinch of paprika.
• "Grilling peppers gives them a smoky sweetness that's delicious in salads or, as here, in a velvety soup with a secret flavoring of rosemary to add resinous depth. The soup is equally good served hot or chilled."
