Cuts of beef: A guide to the leanest selections
Whether you're watching your health or your weight, you can still enjoy beef on occasion. This guide points you to the leanest options.
By Mayo Clinic staffThe tastiest cuts of beef are often the ones with more fat. But when you're concerned about your health or you're trying to watch your weight, you want the leanest cuts of beef. You don't necessarily have to sacrifice flavor by choosing lean cuts of beef, though. Use this guide on cuts of beef to make smart choices.
Nutrition labels for cuts of beef
Wondering which cuts of beef are the leanest? Check the label. The labels on cuts of beef are considered nutrition claims, so they're subject to government regulations. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulates whether cuts of beef can be labeled as "lean" or "extra lean" based on their fat and cholesterol content.
Lean cuts of beef
The USDA defines a lean cut of beef as a 3.5-ounce serving (about 100 grams) that contains less than:
- 10 grams total fat
- 4.5 grams saturated fat
- 95 milligrams cholesterol
Extra-lean cuts of beef
The USDA defines an extra-lean cut of beef as a 3.5-ounce serving (about 100 grams) that contains less than:
- 5 grams total fat
- 2 grams saturated fat
- 95 milligrams cholesterol
Note that these nutrition labels aren't the same as grading beef. Grading beef is a voluntary program under the USDA that manufacturers can use to judge the perceived quality of their product.
Selecting cuts of beef
Cuts of beef |
Twenty-nine cuts of beef now meet the USDA's regulations to qualify as lean or extra lean. Of those 29 cuts of beef, these are considered extra lean:
- Eye of round roast or steak
- Sirloin tip side steak
- Top round roast and steak
- Bottom round roast and steak
- Top sirloin steak
If you still have questions about which cuts of beef are lean or extra lean, ask your butcher or grocer. If you're dining out, ask the restaurant server or chef for recommendations for lower fat options. But keep in mind that the same cuts of beef can have different names. For example, a boneless top loin steak may also be called a strip steak or club sirloin steak.
Other tips when choosing cuts of beef:
- Choose cuts that are graded "Choice" or "Select" instead of "Prime," which usually has more fat.
- Choose cuts with the least amount of visible fat (marbling).
- When selecting ground beef, opt for the lowest percentage of fat.
- Limit consumption of beef organs, such as liver, to about 3 ounces (85 grams) a month since organ meat is high in cholesterol.
Preparing cuts of beef
Even the leanest cuts of beef can become high-fat diet-busters if you prepare them in unhealthy ways. Here are a few simple methods to control the fat:
- Trim it. Cut off any visible, solid fat from meat before preparing, and then remove any remaining visible fat before eating.
- Drain it. After cooking ground meat, put it into a strainer or colander and drain the fat. Then rinse the meat with hot water. Blot the meat with a paper towel to remove the water.
- Chill it. After cooking, chill beef juices so that you can skim off and discard the hardened fat. Then add the juice to stews, soups and gravy.
Everything in moderation
Even if you choose lean or extra-lean cuts of beef, don't go overboard. If you want to include beef in your diet, do so in moderation. The American Heart Association recommends that adults eat no more than a total of 6 ounces (170 grams) of cooked lean meat, fish, shellfish or skinless poultry a day — with less emphasis on beef. So except for special occasions, consider the beef in your diet as a side dish, not a main dish. And remember that beans and fish are generally healthier protein options than is beef.

Zengo - D.C.
Online Reservations
Zengo continues to be one of my favorite restaurants! It's always fun to share the tapas; dishes are flavorful and interesting. In addition to my old standbys (tuna wanton tacos, arepas, angry zengo), we tried the scallop ceviche. Yum. While I like the "energetic" atmosphere, the noise level is high when you're trying to have a conversation.
The food at Zengo is always a treat. The fusion flavors - part seafood, Asian, and other - are a won derfyl blend. The prices are a bit high, eg, many dishes are la carte. But if you like delicious food and don't mind premium prices, this is a great place.
Great food and ambience...there was a delay on our appetizers (it took more than 15 minutes to get empanadas!)...but it was worth the waiting. We will visit Zengo again and Zoon!
There is nothing that measures up to the Miso Glazed Black Cod. It is just the most amazing dish ever. And the grilled edamame are a revelation -- everyone should grill their edamame! We also had the duck daikon tacos and the skirt steak dishes -- which were just AWESOME and anywhere else I'd write an entire review about them, but here they are terrific but not as amazing as the other two dishes. Drinks are great too! HIGHLY recommended....
Very nice atmosphere. Food and service were excellent!
Erica is the best server they have, request her if you get the chance.
We came from PA for the Michael Buble concert and looked for a good restaurant near the Verizon Center. We couldn't have made a better choice. The flavors, portion sizes and service were perfect. I had the crispy tofu and almost licked the plate! I NEVER eat dessert out caved for the chocolate tart. Was not disappointed. We will be back!
The food was fantastic! .The host and the manager really went out of their way to recognize my birthday which was AWESOME--- so many restaurants these days have stopped doing things so I was pleasantly surprised by this. Our actual server wasn't very friendly, and he was paying a lot more attention to his friends at the table next to us than to our table giving them free drinks and a lot of recommendations- it made us feel a little bit shafted... But everyone else was awesome. The food was delicious and they serve pretty decent portions! The overall decor ambiance were great, only small complaint is that it was a little bit loud and crowded for a date setting.
Great place to fine with friends. Everything we ordered was amazing!
The bottomless tapas were delectable - especially the salmon benedict! The passionfruit mimosas were tasty and they filled up our cute champagne flutes very frequently. We are looking forward to coming back again and would highly recommend Zengo for a Sunday Funday
My entire family enjoyed eating here. I chose this restaurant because we love both Latin and Asian food, and we have a number of vegetarians and gluten-free diets to respect. Everything was delicious, presented beautifully, and well seasoned, with a little kick--flavorful, the way we like! The room was serene in a very vibrant neighborhood. The mojitos were very good, and since we dined there on a Monday, we got a bargain--$5 per drink. The waiter was very pleasant and attentive, and listened to our concerns re: gluten.
The restaurant, with contemporary and modern design as well as a slight Asian flair, was well organized and the service was fantastic. We were greeted by people at the door who were energetic and friendly, and our server was friendly but left us alone. The food was very good and not terribly expensive.I will be back.
Enjoyed the ceviche and fish, plus the friendly service. We were upstairs, so noise was moderate - lively bar downstairs. We plan to return next time we're in Penn Quarter.
Wasn't sure what to expect but ended up having a great time. Our waitress V, was all smiles, had a great atitude, and honest about what was good vs. bad. That type of honest service made the experience even greater. Food was fantastic and the Guava Mimosas were the best out of the available cocktails. Stay away from the Sangria!! Would go back there with a bigger group.
I went to brunch at Zengo with a group of 6 on a Saturday morning. We had made reservations on OpenTable the night before and had no issues when we arrived. We sat at a large, half circle booth which was perfect for sharing food and for seeing everyone. Our server was very attentive and provided many recommendations. The food was delicious, our glasses were never empty, and we had an overall great time. I definitely recommend Zengo for brunch and not happy hour--happy hour specials aren't that great with small portions and no actual tables--but brunch will be my new go-to for out of town guests.
I have been many times, and they never disappoint. My most recent waiter was so nice that he even gave us a complimentary ceviche! They have amazing food.
Went there for wife's bday. Hit the mark. Would recommend. Mojitos are amazing -- if you like mojitos, go.
This is a GREAT brunch! Amazing food for an equally amazing price! The menu had a great variety of food AND drinks! I can't wait to go back!
This is the second time I've been here for brunch. As before, service was excellent, very prompt and courteous. The drinks were truly bottomless, and they were supremely delicious. The food itself was incredible, in particular the steak and egg tostadas, the lobster grits and the bacon and egg steam buns. I'll definitely be back, this time with a ton of people. Thanks!
All plates orderd were delish! Especially cripsy tofu and apple empanadas- YUM!
This is a MUST stop any time we're in DC. The Zengo fried rice is outstanding, the mango guac was divine, the spicy Thai lettuce wraps were so good I can't say enough about them. And, the waiter was great at accommodating all my special needs and requests for separate checks for food and drinks. We'll certainly return when we're back this summer!
I have been back several times to Zengo and have never been disappointed. From the moment I walk in and am greeted by the host, to the point when I am about to leave, it is always a delightful experience. I was plesantly surprised to see a lot of new items on the menu that are both creative and eclectic, to say the least. A few of the all time favorites remain on the menu. They still make a mean mojito, it's totally worth it.
very well located with a unique and delicious menu. really enjoyed our meal here!
Not only was the bottomless brunch amazing (10ish guava mimosas - heyohh) but our server was great! She was on the ball and so personable that we wanted her to sit down and join us. I've been here for dinner but with the menu selection at brunch, it's definitely the best time to go.
The turkey confit tacos were out of this world. Skate wing was excellent. The inventiveness of combining Asian and Peruvian food was wonderful. We had 2 different chocolate desserts. Both excellent Food arrived quickly. Server was very knowledgeable and took the time to find the answers to things she did not know. It's worth coming to DC just to eat here
The food was good and the drinks were great. It was rare that our glasses were empty. It didn't take long for the food to arrive. At first the small plates didn't have enough for the whole table to share (for example, we'd get 3 arepas instead of 5), but we asked if they'd change that and they did.
Got there early and was seated in the window overlooking 7th Street. Great view. Perfect location if going to the Verizon Center. The mango mojito was very tasty. We opted to order four appetizers (one was the special) and the Zengo fried rice. It was plenty to share between two all very good. Service was excellent. We'll be back to try something different soon.
1st visit. Loved the empenadas, crispy tofu, tuna taco's. Dessert not on par with apps and entrees. Will be coming back soon.
Zengo may not look like much from the outside, but inside it's chic, modern, upscale and has a really amazing brunch deal. $35/person for all you can eat and drink- small plates including chorizo, salmon benedict, lobster grits, sushi, bacon brussels sprouts (lots of bacon!) , etc. Their brunch drinks include bottomless bloody marys, 4 kinds of mimosas, and sangria. Quite a gem for brunch- we will be returning!
Black cod entree is consistently among the most delicious fish dishes I have ever had. Also love the Pisco Sours, which are reminiscent of time I spent in Peru.
I've hosted a couple gatherings here at Zengo's and it has now become 'the place' where I take professional colleagues and friends alike - to meet or to catch up. The happy hour on Tuesdays is a great atmosphere to meet people and the dining experience is perfect!
This was my first visit to Zengo. I met a friend who was in from New Jersey. We shared 4 small plates. The food was delicious and there was enough to share so we both were satisfied. There was a lot of choice on the menu. Our waiter was very attentive and there was not a long wait for the food. We visited for a while after eating and felt welcome to stay. Downstairs was very noisy but upstairs where we were seated, the noise level was not a problem. I would definitely come back again.
Some interesting pairings result in some great flavors here. We enjoyed a really good meal sampling several small and main dishes and all were good to very good.
Zengo was great! The small plates were tasty and filling, but the guy at the front desk gave incredible service and really made the experience.
It's really great food - but very small portions. It's all tapas style, which makes great for sharing and trying new things, and everything we had was really delicious. It's just hard to leave this place feeling full without breaking the bank budgetarily.
We went to Zengo for our first brunch in downtown DC on my birthday. We were extremely pleased with the whole experience. The dishes were unique and very tasty. The server recommended some of the better dishes as well, and while he was not perfectly attentive to our needs, he was prompt enough with the important things. The unlimited drinks and dishes made for a very fun experience because we were able to try everything without incurring crazy costs. We have been to a number of the top restaurants in DC, and I would say at a much lower price, this restaurant was comparable (for brunch anyway).
Always a fan of Zengo's bottomless brunch deal on Saturday and Sunday. This most recent visit, I took my mother for her birthday. I must have noted the occasion when making the reservation, and the hosts and servers were nice enough to wish her happy birthday. Some plates were better than others, but overall, a great selection. My favorites are always the shrimp ceviche, lobster grits, pork arepas, mixed fruit, and the meatballs. My favorite mimosas are the guava and the passion fruit. This is a great place to go with a group so you can try everything on the menu. Prepare for a marathon of a feast!
Our server Michelle was great. The busboys/ladies were all attentive and friendly. The Asian Latin fusion was successfully executed in the dishes.
Earlier than we usually dine, plus it was Monday, so we got a choice corner table. It was quiet; the service was attentive, and the food was excellent. Delicious small plates; a nice blend of Asian/Latin. Will definitely go again.
Our group of four met downtown for dinner prior to the Capitals Hockey game. Food was excellent (sushi rolls, crab guacamole, tuna wonton tacos, chicken empanadas, rice noodles and beef shortribs). Mango Mojitos were very good and affordable as well as the bottled beer selection. Great window seating overlooking 7th street. Our waitress was great (Munkhjin) allowing us to eat a great meal in just under an hour and make it to the game on time. Will definitely return in the future.
Pretty loud in there, even on the 2nd floor. The food was great but service was just ok, although our waiter was very knowledgeable of the menu and drinks!
The menu has many unexpected but delicious dishes--a great place for adventurous eaters!
The food is amazing. The service could be better, though
This was my first time @ Zengo and it was great. The Bottomless Brunch was fantastic. What selection of small plates!!! Definitely going back again w/ more friends.
We were here for a Birthday dinner and weren't sure about the fusion food but everything we order was delicious and service was great. The steak on the menu is great and even the vegeterian option of crispy tofu was delicious. The Churros for dessert were the best we have had in DC area. All in all we were pleasantly surprised and loved the place. Will have to come back again to try other dishes from the menu.
I visited Zengo with girlfriends prior to seeing Pink at the Verizon Center. I had heard wonderful things about the food and it did not disappoint. Everything on the menu that we tried was fresh and delicious. However, the service was lacking. Our waitress was unattentive and forgetful. The food runners basically threw our food at us. But, would I go again? Yes! The food was that good.
We have been going to Zengo on occasion since it opened usually before sports events or concerts. It has a very interesting Latin-Asian menu - and we usually go for small plates we can share. You order enough for your party and they come out when they come out - usually 3 items to a plate. The salt and pepper shrimp tacos as well as the tuna tacos were our favorites - absolutely delicious. We also liked the bay scallop ceviche though it was a little hard to dip with chips - the scallops need to be halved or diced I think. The lettuce wraps were also very good. We were less impressed with the empanadas - too much dough - and the hoison pork was OK but hard to eat. My husband loved the small fried rice. Very fun to go with a group.
Zengo is the perfect place for dinner before a concert at the Verizon Center. Its location couldn't be better to both the arena and the metro. The place is always bustling and energetic. Sometimes it gets a little noisy and it is difficult to carry on a conversation but that is part of the buzz. I think it has to do with the high ceilings and hard finishes. The food is always interesting and delicious. It's fun to try a lot of different dishes and share. Shrimp tacos, empanadas and edamame were delicious as was the guacamole with shrimp. The wait staff is attentive and accommodating. Just a fun place to eat!
I spend a lot of time in Penn Quarter. Without question, Zengo is one of the finest restaurants in the area. The menu is exceptional, the food is extremely well prepared and well conceived in its preparation and presentation, and our service was one of the best service experiences I have had in very long time. Great all-around - we will return often.
This was a great meal and pleased everyone from our nine year old to eighty-one year old grandmother. I don't live in DC, so it might just be the location near the Verizon Center in kind of a touristy area that keeps it from being more of a real foodie place. It didn't seem very crowded, though we were very early. But I have to say the food and overall experience was excellent. Great drinks and nice service too.

As always now let's get to the legal panel joining me in the studio -- down -- -- a former criminal prosecutor.
And now associate managing -- with scroll to say that right that's right crawl advisory solutions good to have you -- down.
And of colts lease will as always you looking very pretty and -- a look like it is very spring like.
I'm at least the Guantanamo trials.
That Khalid Sheikh Mohammed the 9/11 miles are alleged to 9/11 miles -- the mind.
In court today today over the past companies seem to make a mockery of the end.
-- trial on Hannity can -- go ahead to look past it.
But remember Saturday we've all seen images and just thinking about those poor families that are watching this and looking at him making a mockery that he -- the other four defendants.
Of our criminal justice system and where paid for by the way Jonathan we're paying for his lawyer were paying for all of this to happen.
Will it go ahead yes -- take years yes we'll call yeah millions of dollars to discuss all yes yes and yeah.
-- -- how hard is it as a prosecutor.
If you have these kind of characters that you're trying to prosecute.
They sit -- making a mockery of the proceedings refusing to say a single woods.
That -- -- coal.
How do you handle that.
Would judge has a tough job on the one hand you have to keep order and respect on the other hand if you silence them too much and -- might have an appellate issue and you wind and that.
So you can have to give them a little leeway it's going to be frustrating it's going to be drawn out but hopefully it leads to the right result and -- you have great released yet.
Clinton -- in years is this is gonna -- get a tentative trial date is -- eight point thirteen address tentative so it is probably going to be longer than ever talking about nearly at 2000.
Murder counts -- -- got -- -- all of those things together all of that evidence together.
But all those witnesses on and then defense obviously -- their case on its gonna take a long long time.
Now in terms of and -- what will happen at this.
Dan I'm interested in in the that the victim lived there relatives of the victims.
What kind do that we know that some of the -- watching the proceedings on closed circuit.
Will they get any more access to that will do we know if they don't -- -- victim impact statements in this in this case it's -- usually if.
By that point the conviction will already have been not in.
So what the problem is getting to that particular -- to a verdict -- -- that takes so -- and families are watching this and it's extremely frustrating -- -- cannot -- to mitigate try to -- -- off the table do we know if they will allow loses they lose relatives of the victims to be in the courtroom will it all become my -- I understand there were five relatives of victims that were allowed into the court for the -- proceedings so maybe they'll be rotating -- five to ten there's -- they -- allow them to do that yet -- impact statement is that -- -- -- right exactly only at sentencing that you mention one thing that would that would -- to stand in front of the people accused of bringing them this will -- Either mitigate or to say aggravating you know -- that this might my mom my dad my grandfather my -- might.
My son was killed when.
And that's because sentence tonight.
Okay I wanna get on a couple of other things up for us we'll do I would normally get to the -- it was Charlie your -- -- but.
I there's this issue would -- we -- -- -- earlier Dan the NFL facing these new lawsuits over concussions when we had this.
The dreadful tragedy last week which made -- -- think about this again of -- Sam.
Sending a challenge is great and patriots and some dolphins maybe it was quite right a great and it questions -- web.
Injuries he may have suffered may have contributed to his depression.
What sort of jeopardy is the NFL in -- him -- -- We'll -- it's it's a very serious issue you -- Kurt Warner Pro Bowl quarterback Super Bowl champion so he's not sure he wants his kids to play football now.
This is a major change in the last few years the NFL is.
Now being alleged you have covered up evidence that head injuries -- to dementia other problems that question is did the NFL -- information they had.
On the other side to NFL players assume risk by engaging in what was.
A violent sport even if they didn't understand all the consequences of that back and if the NFL covered up a toll that we are by its cover is worsening crime and an indictment is and that it has an -- multi team multi million dollar settlements would -- -- anonymously -- -- know how long is that.
-- -- -- -- -- -- Think people are involved right -- more than just a few that we just couldn't recovering the surface right now -- many or more people come even you know younger people come forward even -- people that are retired -- -- that happened I was told this or that when I was in the NFL.
And that.
Becomes a bigger and it's one of those things down I guess where it becomes like a snowball rolling downhill the more probably will completely over a thousand think it's now with -- -- -- we don't know if it's connected to concussions but we do know that concussions lead to.
Serious things like dementia depression and it's possible this connection else that is suicide -- -- you were saying.
About a year to go -- bears player services because you'll have felt interior players you know guns are not that we're illegal have to throw a little hat off right now just take care here -- way.
As you -- you see how.
-- the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell acting so forcefully.
On the issue of panties right that you know suspending players for an entire season suspending the head coach of the saints for an entire season.
You want kind of do receive the same sort of reflection on exactly it take care of them doesn't seem now that too much DOS -- a from a league that.
Is not exactly -- -- right so all right.
Let's move on to at least it John Edwards I every time we talk about the John -- -- with which is a way as you know campaign fund raising right and whether million dollars he used to cover up is a fast and love child with -- rail until.
Was destined for campaign.
Purposes so whether it was just the gift and that -- like to use it -- -- want I feel as that we need to take a shower every time we talked about it but we're -- we today in this and the Charlie.
And what's very telling about that is this is someone who used to work for him someone was paid by him.
Someone probably just another axe to grind not enough -- was on the on the prosecution list percent he and she's taking the -- saying this is going on.
I think it's really bad for the defense and great for the prosecution.
And you're right I think -- all wanted to -- we think that you know he's discussing the question is whether it's legally.
What's it wasn't meant for campaign finance controversy is just the right path and I noted and I you know it was because -- -- -- just -- I -- -- Elizabeth knew about it.
Elizabeth -- about the affair than what you don't halfway into it so it was just meant to cover it up from her she about it.
And it was and it it it's a tough one to prove for prosecutors this one isn't yeah I think it's a case the first impression the question is not whether there was a cover up there certainly was the question is is -- cover up part of a campaign strategy or is that part of his just.
Personal attempt to keep it quiet and -- his reputation that's the whole different -- this there.
This guy Andrew Young is key here the former aide who are -- -- one point saying he.
Was the father of the of their loved beloved child eight idea struck me when I was listening to him as the key -- it seems to be in many people's minds key witness that.
This jurors might be sitting there and look.
But these two thinking OK that's one sleaze that I like that it's against other sleaze bag is that she accused which sleaze bag idol who -- least up.
We don't you know criminals don't could sort choir boys that's you know they go to somebody and you guys -- color going to be with coming -- and do exactly what they want them to do stuff right didn't download one of override.
Is one of -- view is here riding in John Edwards -- -- -- low -- he couldn't do make this trial go on for the next ten years he and this will be download I don't think he wants to make -- -- -- right I'll show you -- -- he wants to all the salacious details aren't helping -- he wants to -- -- narrowly focused on the legal issue of whether this money.
Counts -- company donations and I don't see he had having a reason to extend it all right last subject -- arm and the slope the -- and lost man.
To have seen Natalee Holloway right teenager from a -- was having declared officially miss and other Talladega Alabama who went to -- at this.
The one where he is now in Peru serving a twenty year sentence for the murder of a young woman how to get the money to go to prove.
He extorted allegedly money from the Holloway family to give them information about their missing daughter apparently gave them bogus information and took that 25000 dollars to fly to Peru.
And now and and and murder this younger.
I think he will be expedited but I don't think it will happen.
Before the twenty years and it may happen in between but he certainly had to go back -- the 28 years of career.
What do you think you think piece of wood and didn't see him here on trial -- look at some point we've done what now is called a provisional detention which means he's being held pending official request by the US pork exhibition and that has to be made -- request in sixty days at some point he will face these charges the prosecutors and wanted to -- thank goodness right as -- treaty -- worked on exhibitions like this it all depends on whether the country dealing with this cooperative and get a treaty with them and in this case.

This is perhaps not very unusual. Man has always been a strange facility seeker being. In the distant history he made and left behind, he was so and today also he is so. The difference lies in the fact that as far as exploiting nature as his surroundings is concerned, he was very considerate, very innovative and thoughtful. Todays man is for change, for optimum personal facility at any cost, and for gain.
Often, man shows his highly inconsiderate and anti-natural law disposition. This has cost him dearly already, will be more so in the time to come, and yet man has gone pathetically blind and deaf.
This has been a year of travel for this scribe. Making several trips in some hills and more plains of east Nepal has been the routine work thus far. And since this travel has involved conveyances of different sorts - such as two, three and four and eight-wheelers, the description made here comes from the limit of cursory glances made by a pair of old eyes looking at the same objects after a long span of time and assessing the most destructive disposition of the so-called modern man.
Once upon a time
Four years of college life at Mahendra College, Dharan, in the late sixties required frequent travel through the char kose jhadi (the eight mile wide dense forest at the southern foot of the Chure hills and forming the longest green belt) of green lush forest with wild animals and varieties of plants and trees. The jhadi used to be a natural repertoire of wild flora and fauna.
The proverb hariyo ban, Neplko dhan(green forest, the asset of Nepal) took its birth from this huge natural wealth. Nepal took pride in this throughout the history, until recently, that is. It was common to see wild animals, birds and fouls crossing the road early in the morning and evening when vehicle traffic was pretty low.
In the later years, it seemed as if the entire hills have moved down to the plains and caused unnatural growth in the local populations of the villages, market towns and cities of the low lands. Cities began to experience new social orders, problems and challenges beyond control. The most challenging effect of migration to the terai was felt by its green forest, green grain fields and serene thatch roofed tribal villages. Gradually the demographic, social-cultural, political and economic scenario got new prospects and challenges. In more recent times, this has only been intensified and complicated.
Several short and long term visits carried out this year have shocked this scribe to a great extent. A few days have passed, but the hangover of the shock remains almost intact. Several phenomena visible on the green ground observed in yester years have triggered the shock further. In sum, man has lost the sense of beauty, responsibility and gratitude to Mother Earth although the phrase bhumiputra (sons of mother Earth) echoes everywhere almost as a fashion mantra with political smell and connotation.
But the putras along with their migrant neighbours have worked hard to change the original serene, natural and highly balanced face of the highly fertile land and very productive as well as green forest and land of east terai mainly along the highways.
The damage begins with the new burial culture visible in the forests near the highways. It begins in the char kose jhadi near Dharan and continues all the way to the vicinity of Mechi, the eastern boundary of Nepal on the East-West Highway. There are a few individual burials, and then there are small groups and finally the larger clusters. They give the impression that the dead are now living in villages, towns and cities created by their family and relations.
The idea and motive behind these creations is that the dead must be respected, delivered and remembered in style. But few would answer the query of a lay man observer - but why the heavy concrete structure above the dead body, anyway? Why not just a few lovely plants on the top of the loved ones honouring the Earth? Isnt the concrete structure an additional burden on the dead and a scar on the face of the Mother Earth? Many would not like to answer the question. Once one dies, the soul is what matters; the body is taken by the Mother. The soul starts its long journey toward heaven, or that is what is believed by the mortals. The investment on concrete structures is only a source of pride and fulfillment on their part. The cities of the Dead will further expand in the time to come and increase the amount of grey patches in the green forest.
The other picture
There was yet another category of encroachment on the green lush land occupied earlier by grain farms and vegetable gardens. Continue driving east of Itahari on the highway looking on both sides of the road, and you find the damage done to the green field. There are scores of scars on the face of the earth in the name of land-plotting. The disease of indiscreet and unstoppable land plotting common in the Kathmandu Valley has infected this part of eastern terai at the high cost of grain and vegetable production.
This new housing culture has caused not only great loss in food and vegetable production, but also a serious imbalance in nature. There are concrete demarcation walls, roads and streets separating individual plots. For years, these plots have not been able to yield what they were supposed to be doing and were actually doing. A highly concerned and shocked driver J. Pandey quips, "There was a time when my grandfather used to pick up cow dung from the roads and carry all the way home to dump on the garden and field. Today, one can see people driving huge trucks to dump sand, concrete and cement in the green fields. Pandey also adds that the plotting business is not flourishing; it is only occupying the green land and turning the green fields into grey.
Finally, the government must have plans to discourage the new breed of developers and exploit the productive capacity of the terai land. Failing to do this, the greying of the green land will continue and the natural imbalance will create further damage and irreplaceable natural as well as economic loss.

Forgotten man Butterfield is ready for a fresh start
8:00am Thursday 5th September 2013 in Sport By Steph Clark , Sports Reporter
WHEN Jacob Butterfield woke up on Monday morning he was contemplating another season out of the picture at Norwich City.
Butterfield had earned his dream move to the Premier League last summer, but it didn't quite go the way he had hoped with the 23-year-old making just a handful of appearances under former Newcastle United manager Chris Hughton.
Just four months into his time at Carrow Road, Hughton sent the midfielder out on loan to Bolton Wanderers and then Crystal Palace after Christmas.
Not the way a player, who was once described as 'the best midfielder in the Championship' by former Barnsley manager Keith Hill, had envisaged his dream move turning out.
However, after a whirlwind few days which started with a call from his agent at 5pm on Monday evening, Butterfield is now back in the Championship after signing a three-year contract at Middlesbrough minutes before the 11pm deadline.
It puts an end to Butterfield's year in the wilderness and now with a fresh start on Teesside the Bradford-born midfielder is eager to re-invent himself after becoming one of English football's forgotten young talents.
"It's nice to feel wanted and feel part of it," admitted Butterfield, who signed his contract with Boro before he had a chance to visit the club.
"I felt excluded down in Norwich after the first few months, but now I want to be part of something good up here and I'm thankful in the manager for showing faith in me and now I have to repay him for that "It was difficult at Norwich. I was coming back from injury and they sent out on loan and I was all over the place. I said I'd go back and give it a good go in pre-season and see where I was at, but I still wasn't going to be part of the manager's plans.
"You go there thinking you've worked so hard to and you think you're going to move onto the next level of your career, but for me it was more like a backward step.
"You get forgotten about and people start to question you from the outside, but there's other reason for that. It's not that I'm not good enough. I think under a different manager I would have played at Norwich, but it was his (Hughton's) decision and all I can do it move on and look to the future with Middlesbrough.
"I've got myself in a place now where I accept what happened and I'm ready to go again. I want to play in the Premier League - that's the reason I went to Norwich - but it didn't work out and now I want to get back there with Boro."
Although he has had a taste of life in the top flight, Butterfield insists he didn't hesitate when the call came from Teesside even if it meant dropping down a division.
He said: "The main thing I need to do is play games and I suppose re-invent myself as the player I was before.
"I almost feel like I've been forgotten about. I didn't really play many games at Norwich and in football you can be forgotten about quite quickly so I didn't hesitate to drop down to the Championship. I got a move to the Premier League from good performances in this league, but with Middlesbrough I think there's the potential to get back there as a club and I'd love to be part of it."
Mowbray has been tracking the former England Under-21 international for some time. The Boro boss tried to bring Butterfield to Teesside when he left Barnsley, but the lure of Premier League football at Norwich seemed too good to turn down at the time.
And it's easy to see why Mowbray has continued to monitor the 23-year-old's situation. Butterfield spent seven years at Manchester United's academy before joining Barnsley, where he made a swift move from youth player to first-team regular.
"It was a good environment to learn," Butterfield explained. "I spent seven years there and they taught me how to play football as a young kid. It was a good experience and a good footballing upbringing and then I went to Barnsley.
"That was good for me in different ways because it gave me the chance to be a big fish in a smaller pond and I ended up in the first team quite quickly. For any young player you need to be playing games as soon as possible.
"I know the manager (Mowbray) has liked me as a player for awhile. Boro is a big club, the set-up is fantastic. He's a good manager and the team plays the right style of football for me. The whole thing was appealing and I was struggling to see any negatives of moving here and I didn't hesitate to get the deal done and I'm glad it is done now."

New update Notification Problem!
I just loaded the new update on my dev alpha A and found that i wasn't getting any notification when someone bbms me like i used to in the previous os update!
Anyone else facing the problem! - 11-29-2012, 01:10 PM #3
Ya, I think it has to do with the Hub notification placeholder they have right now. Right now, if you put the phone into development mode, it gets a phantom ping from Hub and your red LED light starts flashing....
I have this problem too. Bummer as it means I'm not responding immediately to BBMs when they come through. It just seems to be BBM messages though, I get BBM invite notifications. I also noticed that third party app sound notifications work now too. Before, I was just getting an LED and splat notification.

Re: New update Notification Problem!
I'm living with it for now. I'm sure it'll be fixed soon with another update. In the meantime at least for me I've got plenty of other things to work on for my apps. I'm sure when I get to notifications I'll feel differently and hopefully by then it won't be an issue any more.
I have the same issue with my dev alpha B. I'm glad to know it's not just my unit. I'm sure it will be fixed soon enough. Just remember, it will all work perfect when we trade them in for a final device!

New update Notification Problem!
Ok, so still no hub.
Notifications haven't been fixed either and it seems even the third party ones have stopped in this update too. Though I still get the LED and splat, I was kind of relying on the sound alerts.

We stumbled across 'fighter practice' by the Watergarden one evening and were amazed by what we discovered. We were welcomed by Paula Cloud-Hudson, who is mentioned in the article, and learned a lot about the SCA and fighter practice that night. My kids were excited to learn they were old enough to participate. We were introduced to Clayton Randolph, who is the youth leader. Clayton patiently taught my 12 year old son to make chain mail. While they worked and laughed together, Clayton taught my son about Vikings and medieval weapons. He loaned my son books, and we learned even more. My daughter was taught wire weaving by another SCA member. The group became a second family for us. We were with them for about 9 months before we moved out of the area. We still keep in touch, however. Being involved with the SCA was an awesome experience. Go out to the Watergarden and meet them! You'll learn a lot while getting to know a wonderful group of people! ~Jill Honer

Damn, the Sapphire 7970 OC Boost I just bought at Newegg only rates 61.5 on GPU-Z's ASIC rating. Should I return it? It doesn't seem to want to OC very well at all.
that's actually a very good card for extreme overclocking (water/LN2). lower = better for these people.
Not the response I was expecting on a graphics board of an enthusiast gamer forum. Any avid gamer whom buys an OC model card from a reputable manufacturer I think knows full well an ASIC rating that low is uncommon on an OC model card that should get decent binning of the GPU chip. That's about as low as it gets even on NON OC model cards for top models cards from supposedly reputable manufacturers. A 7950 Vapor-X for $20 less would probably smoke this card. Then again, if I do return it, I'm not sure I trust Sapphire's binning at all regardless of model. Anyone else care to weigh in here? I'm about an inch away from calling Newegg and setting up an RMA.
It seems like you made up your mind already, So go ahead and setup your RMA and dont forget to tell them that your reason for return is it dont overclock very well.
Nah my card does 77% ASIC and overclocks till 1125/1500 without voltage increase. ASIC stats do not mean that the card is bad or good since there are SO MANY parameters that will affect the final result (quality). I remember being worried about the ASIC of my card several months ago and I did alot of research on that matter. EDIT: seeing in your 2nd post that you are really worried, just go and have a look on other forums where it is extensively said by owners of 7900 series cards that their OC performance is irrelevant to their ASIC. I was going to write some more but Wizzard already covered the topic.
From my understanding the ASIC value scales upward for better efficiency, less heat/voltage leakage, so there's no way a lower number = better, water or not, and water just adds a lot of expense on a card that was bought for it's sale price. I always thought the lower designation on low ASIC values meant you HAVE to use WC just to try and get similar performance to air, which would mean horrible inefficiency in the chip wouldn't it? Then again the CPU-Z ASIC chart only says higher power consumption, vs more leakage. So maybe when WC is used it allows that extera power to unleash, much like some high end speakers require a lot of amplification. Either way, I can't stress enough that I do not want to have to buy WCing just to get an acceptable OC out of this thing. I think 99% of gamers whom buy a high end GPU on a sale price would say the same. I've seen ASIC ratings range from 49 all the way up to claims of 102. The average always seems to be about 75. This thing starts artifacting with ANY memory bump and struggles to keep from crashing Kombustor at anything over 1100 core, which is crap performance for an OC model card. One thing I noticed that was odd after my attempted OCing session though was there were several instances of Kombustor in Task manager for some reason. Am I missing something here? Please explain why a lower number would be better even if I could and wanted to buy water cooling?
Frag Maniac maybe you should try to uninstall the drivers and use Driver sweeper, then install again. If your card does not OC well and you wanted that, maybe you can attempt to return the card and get a new one or another brand, but the company that sold you the card would actually do you a favor cause no one guarrantees the overclocking potential of a card. From what I know a high ASIC means that the current or voltage is very well regulated and there are no leaks, thus making the card more energy efficient - which is independent of performance. You might get some more heat though... 1 or 2 degrees celcius extra on a low-asic card compared to high-asic (i'm not sure about that). Good energy regulation reduces the potential of high overclocks. But remember that this is only ONE parameter contributing to the final potential of the card.
ASIC quality is not a consumer level property. We only get to know it because W1zz writes the software to read it. If this isn't the response you'd expect from a top tech forum perhaps you're being naive? As W1zz says, lower ASIC is better for extreme OC. Although to be fair, my MSO OC 7970 is 59.2 ASIC quality. But it still holds stable comfortably on stock volts at 1050/1500 core/mem. Though my Powercolor is 80.2 ASIC and it hit 1300/1600 Also, your RMA would be refused unless you got lucky. The card works at it's stated OC, there is nothing wrong with it. And as W1zz says in every gpu review, overclocking is not a right, it's a luck of the draw kinda thing unless you specifically buy a model (Matrix/Lightning) that is specifically binned.
Can anyone tell me why Kombustor would be loading up several instances of it's exe in Task Manager, and if that might have caused it to freeze and get the graphics driver stopped responding error? I can see how to a degree voltage regulation would be separate of performance, but leakage is always more prevalent on less efficient GPUs, as is higher temps, which keeps you from getting as good OCs on air. Just feeling like a I got a lemon here. Funny thing is, until I started seeing the OC results, I was thinking it was playing MoH Warfighter pretty well maxed out on Ultra at 1080p and VSync at a solid 60 FPS. I'm used to a GTS 250 though, so almost anything is going to look good compared to it. I guess I'll try running this at 1100 or so and no mem boost for a while and see if it can manage not crashing my GPU driver. Not sure reinstalling the GPU driver is going to do any good though, since I didn't get the graphics driver stopped responding error until I started OCing. I'm using Cat 12.11 though, and although it's got improved performance, it's also just a beta, so maybe the final will be more stable for me.
My 7950 has 64% quality, but even at 1,25V with a terrible Vdrop(0,08V) it hits 1160 MHz on the core without getting over 82 degrees with the smallest cooler(on auto) ever to be put on these cards. So from my experince i can say that your 61% would certainly not mean its a bad chip, since the 64% for me ment I could still OC it close to 50% over its stock clock(which is quite insane when you think of it like that).
You only get 1125 core on a 7970 with a 77% ASIC rating? Mind linking to something that explains ASIC in depth, because I can't find anything but forums with ASIC scores. I'd also like to get an answer on why Kombustor would be loading up several instances of it's exe in Task Manager, and if it could be contributing to the graphics driver crashing. I'm beginning to wonder if I should just try another OC tool. Afterburner's settings page is just so screwy. Half the time I can't get the tabs at the top to show even with the taskbar at the right of the screen. Unwinder says he's going to leave it the way it is, even though the page with the most on it (Monitoring) has blank space at the bottom, he wants to leave the GUI needlessly tall.
I never used kombustor to measure anything relevant, since it just isnt really relevant compared to any real life scenario. The best way to test for stability is to just play games(or if you're lucky like me, run some pre-programmed benchmarks/runthroughs like metro 2033 has). Also, i'd say that the multiple instances are mostly likely a software bug not related to your card directly.
No doubt. And besides, that rating isnt the end all either as there are many exceptions to that. Returning a card because it doesnt overclock well is just silly to me. Ive been caught with PLENTY of dud overclockers, and not once would I return a perfectly functioning card. I wouldnt return it... and agree here, you lost in the lottery, it happens. You want another better clocker, do the right things and sell this one then buy another. Dont pass the cost on to the consumer for bad luck of the draw. PS - Both the HIS 7970 X Turbo and 7970 Iceq X2 I have (think Lightning/Matrix level for the X, and 'normal' card with IceQ X2) both have quite a low ASIC value and I can reach 1200/1700 24/7 on them. I can even bench 1283/1800 on the X and 1260/1800 on the IceQ X, both have similarly very low ASIC values.
Over at this page, alot of people with 7970's are getting in the 60's scores but still OCing to over 1100Mhz, I think you will be fine with your card http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1671128&page=5
Well, I just reset Afterburner to the defaults, exited out of it, then ran the DX11 version of Kombustor by itself using CCC this time to OC. For some reason leaving the fan at 50% and/or using the DX11 Kombustor keeps the GPU much lower temp, but I still get Kombustor freezing and the graphics driver stopped responding crash if I so much as go beyond 1140. Despite Prime95 tests passing long term, I think I might up my CPU voltage to 1.3 on my 4GHz i7 950 OC, just to see if it by chance makes any difference. This is definitely upsetting though. My understanding is that low ASIC = low efficiency/high leakage, and not typical of binning on a OC model card, that is IF they're doing any kind of diligent binning at all. I was going to try Trixx btw, but at this point I doubt ANY PC tool would make a difference. Going to run the WEI test before upping the CPU voltage just to see if it goes through that without any problems.
Actually, the lowest ASIC possible, while still stable, is best for those that run LN2. I've posted an explanation as to why a few times on here. Leakage is required for chips to work(they give off heat this way). When you cool chip, leakage lowers, nature of this semiconductor. Cool too far, the chip can't leak at all, and you get a "coldbug". A chip with higher leakage can be colder further than one that has less leakage. So, in essence, this card is a good choice for extreme OC guys. Water is not extreme. Of course, this was one of the major issues I expected when OC went more mainstream. If you want a good, low-leakage card, you'll have to look at the early release cards, not the boost cards, IMHO. OF course, finding one of the original cards still in store is gonna be hard. You perspective is just simply skewed here. I understand why you feel the way you do, but you shouldn't. I mean, if all you are after is ASIC quality, I got a 78.625 chip here, but it's a 7950. I'll trade ya!
Again, what tell me is the point of adding at least $200 of WCing to the price of a GPU just to get a decent OC out of it? If it came to that don't you think two 7950s would be a far better choice? OK, I get it, better on water and the mad scientist techno geek nitro jazz. Whoo hoo, I'm thrilled to hear that. I think I'll start building an entire lab around the project. Always wanted a cryo tank in my living room. Meaning, I'll just take your word for it guys, but it need not be reiterated umpteen times because no matter what you say, it's not cost effective. It's a waste of time for myself, and most for that matter. Low ASICs IMO are not appealing, no matter how you cut it. Ran the card at 1100 core and stock 1450 mem through several levels of MoH Warfighter last night without issue. That was after getting artifacts in the intro cutcsene of the PETN raid just at 1120, which IMO was utterly ridiculous. WTF, I guess I'll keep it, and only because at $330 it still probably beats a stock GHz Edition when run at 1100, and those start at $420. Needless to say the PC gaming hardware industry catches you coming and going. You either pay through the nose for the high binned first batches of a GPU model, or get stale bread when the prices drop.
LOL you think your ASIC quality is bad? Mine is only 60.3% but guess what? i do not care the card works as intended. At lest you can clock better than i can, i am lucky if i can hit 1050mhz stable

Arrive at the hospital on time. You may still have concerns and are likely to feel a bit nervous. Your healthcare team will try to answer all your questions. They will also do all they can to put you at ease.
The healthcare provider in charge of your anesthesia will talk with you before surgery. You will be given general anesthesia to help you "sleep" through the surgery. At some point, an IV (intravenous) line is placed in your arm. This line can supply medication and fluids as needed. In many cases, some or all of your hair is trimmed or removed. This is done to decrease the risk of infection.
The surgeon makes an incision in your scalp. Then dime-sized burr holes are drilled in the skull. The bone between the holes is cut and lifted away. The surgeon then opens the dura, exposing the brain. The next step will depend on your specific problem. In some cases, certain nerves may be stimulated while the response in the brain is monitored. This is done to make sure that normal brain tissue is not disturbed during the surgery.
When the goal of surgery is met, the dura covering the brain is closed. Usually, the skull bone is put back and held in place with wire mesh or screw plates. If blood or fluid remains in the brain tissue, a drain may be placed through a burr hole for a few days. Most of the time, the burr holes are filled or covered right after surgery. Then the skin incision is closed with stitches or staples.
Seizure (jerking movements)
Loss of memory or confusion
Swelling or bleeding in the brain
Blood clots
Loss of sensation, including vision
Weakness or paralysis
You can wait in a nearby room during surgery. Craniotomy often takes 3–5 hours, or more, to complete. If possible, be sure one person is always in the waiting room to receive any news. The doctor will come talk with you as soon as surgery is over. You'll also be told when you can visit your loved one.

9 Safe Alternatives for Treating Children's Cold Symptoms
Comfort and TLC
Treats: Everything!
How to administer: When caring for a sick baby, put extra effort into comforting your child and making her feel cared for and loved. Experts agree that positive parental attention distracts a child from the aggravation of a stuffy nose or congested chest. Creating a peaceful atmosphere also helps your baby to relax and rest. "I always tell parents that their time and attention are very important in caring and comforting their child who has a cold," explains Dr. Bernstein.
Try cuddling in bed and reading stories together until your child drifts off to sleep. Temporarily move your baby's crib into your bedroom so you are within arm's reach when coughing wakens your little one during the night. Relax the TV rules a bit with your toddler and snuggle on the couch watching a movie or favorite show. These are all simple tactics, but a little comfort and TLC go a long way in helping your child feel well again.
Keep in mind: If job duties make it difficult for you to stay home from work several days in a row to care for your child, alternate days off from work with your partner. Grandmothers seem genetically wired to care for sick babies, but before you let grandma (or grandpa) come over to nurse your child back to health, experts recommend you make sure older caregivers have had an annual flu shot.

On a lighter note
On a lighter note, Teeny and Bujo, my daughter's two cats, received the most Christmas presents of all:
Here are Teeny and Bujo playing with one of their new toys, a massage center. They may not have perfected its use as yet:
Teeny likes to organize. Here is Teeny on an organizing rampage:
Teeny also likes to open mail:
I can't seem to find the photo at this minute, but Teeny also likes to totally empty Lauren's purse. He's probably means to suggest that she can make it lighter.
Teeny has great persisitence, wouldn't you say?
God keeps me humble
Teeny knows how to organize cupboards
I could use an organizer. Some people (and cats) just naturally are. My daughter Lauren's Teeny Weeny is:
Heaven Admin is an organizer par excellence. He can straighten anything out in a minute right in front of your eyes. I've seen him do it. I could spend hours and still be trying to figure it out. Blessed are the people who can just naturally organize space.
See Teeny at work:
You can hire him by the hour, by the day, or by the week.
He brings his own lighting with him as well:
Up to Mischief
My daughter's cats are up to no good.
They are either being adorable as Bujo here:

OR they are up to mischief. Look at this. When Lauren is late getting home from work, they protest. This is what she comes home to:
Actually, this is probably Teeny's work. He likes to unpack. He also likes to make statements. Bujo probably just observed, or was busy eating cantaloupe which he loves!

An end to struggling
Years ago I used to work with people looking for work. I remember one computer guy who said something like this:
When there is a problem in a program I'm working on, the problem is always in me. When I fix what's going on in me, the program is fixed.
He really said it better than that. Maybe he said that all glitches come from within him rather than from what he is working on.
