Hard-Boiled Eggs: Why You Are Cooking Them Wrong | Team Mom. The perfect hard-boiled egg Ahh spring, the season of daffodils and rubbery eggs with yolks the color of a mud puddle. Good luck getting the kids to eat them. Also on Yahoo: Eggstra, Eggstra! Here's How and Where to Buy Eggs When it comes to making hard-boiled eggs for the Seder plate or Easter basket, most people slide a dozen into boiling water, set the timer for 20 minutes or so, and walk away to let them jiggle around in the roiling depths of a metal pasta pot.
That's an excellent recipe for an unpalatable egg. The tricky thing about cooking eggs is you are dealing with two different layers that cook unevenly: the white and the yolk. Furthermore, the feisty boiling water molecules that agitate eggs at the bottom of a hard pot may crack the shells as well. PHOTOS: Easter Bunny Pictures Scary Enough to Haunt Your Dreams Slate points out that a better way to achieve the perfect hard-boiled egg is, in fact, to treat it softly.

Fun…..but Fricking NUTS! My second consecutive year presenting at the NSCA Personal Trainers Conference was one of the most rewarding, and definitely the most hectic speaking experience I’ve ever had.
The way it works is that speakers do their presentation twice throughout the weekend so the audience has a greater chance of not missing them. As fate would have it, I was the only speaker in the lineup doing two presentations: a Paleo diet dissection & a carbohydrate debate. This means that I presented four times — and all four presentations were scheduled on one day (Friday). In order to avoid being a full-length novel, this blog post will skip the Paleo stuff (there’s plenty of that in AARR) and focus on the juicier highlight of the conference: my debate with low-carb icon Jeff Volek.
Dr. For anyone unaware, Jeff Volek is one of the world’s most prolific & influential low-carb diet researchers. Volek’s Case My Turn The Repeat Round Postscript Overall, I enjoyed the conference immensely. FITT 1ST. Prolonged Endurance Exercise and Endothelial Function | Swim Sci. Why can't i do single leg squats and step downs?: Triathlon Forum: Slowtwitch Forums. Your symptoms point to gluteus medius inhibition. By being inhibited it causes the it band and other muscles to attempt to take over its role. The g-medius if contracted (concentric) is an external rotator of the femur, however its real importance lies in it's ability to control internal rotation of the femur eccentrically which is why its super important in running.
When your body essentially forgets about the g-medius, structures such as you it-band try and take over among many other detrimental adaptations. weak g-medius leads can manifest as pain in a variety of locations, but the knee is a very common one. Overall glute weakness may also be present as well. There are a variety of exercises to get everything firing again, but the issues are that it is very easy for your body to cheat and adapt to complete the task.
You may not even be aware that you're doing it. You want to be able to control your glutes properly first. >if you can't win, make the guy ahead of you break the record. Knee pain from driving?: Triathlon Forum: Slowtwitch Forums. Dvfmfidc actually has a valid point. I have all but stopped driving. I have an 11 year old car with 67,000 miles on it and 50,000 was put on in the first 6 years. Driving is tough on your body, especially driving a stick (manual transmission) in an urban/suburban setting. I'm not a big fan of driving, possibly becasue I've never had a really fancy, nice quiet car with an automatic transmission and the streets and roads around here are crowded and dangerous. I find driving very stressful. Physiologically, I think most car seat are too soft and poorly designed for a good driving/sitting posture.
Another thing to think about is that if you wear a wallet in your hip pocket thet can be hard on your legs. Tom Demerly Editor, TriSports University.

Strong from ARC’TERYX on Vimeo. “We are all going to make mistakes. It’s truly learning from them that makes life really sweet,” says skier, climber and parent Roger Strong. On April 6th, 2011, the veteran backcountry skier was skinning up his favorite backcountry run when he triggered an avalanche that swept him and two friends hundreds of feet through steep trees.
When the snow settled, his tibias had been ripped from his femurs. But he was alive, along with his friends. Here filmmaker Fitz Cahall talks about his personal connect to making this film about his friend. Adventure: You said you admired Roger for a long time for his spirit of adventure. A: Did the idea for a film about him come after the accident?
A: Roger’s story has run parallel to you own, as a father and as an adventurer facing recovery after serious injuries. I had been in that same position a few hundred times during my climbing career. A: How did you get that beautiful skiing footage? A: How’s Roger doing now? Brick House. The other side of the living room needed something large.

Zenpharaohs Fri, November 18th, 2005, 02:57 PM what kinds of things can i do to perminatly increase my blood flow? MOST IMPORTANT: DO NOT SMOKE. If you smoke, quit. Smoking is really bad for lots of heath reasons, but specific to circulation it's one of the worst things known. Then make sure your diet isn't insane. Then the big thing for better circulation is exercise.
It does not have to be specifically cardio exercise, but the it has to be exercise where you have a pretty good work load on the circulation to bring systemic fuel to the muscles during the exercise. Improved circulation is not only due to heart adaptation, but also to adaptation throughout the body (peripheral adaptation). I know you have expressed a lot of muscle loss concerns, so you may want to think about how to get the right dosage of cardio exercise into your routines, but if you have circulation issues, you want to improve your cardioVASCULAR fitness.

Hide captionAlmonds may have 20 percent less calories than previously thought. iStockphoto.com Almonds may have 20 percent less calories than previously thought. Scientists are starting to discover that the standard way of measuring calories, established more than 100 years ago, may not be terribly accurate when it comes to higher fat, high-fiber foods like nuts. But when it comes to almonds, the count may be off by a whole lot. Food scientists at the U.S. That's off by a lot more than an earlier British study showing pistachios have about 5 percent fewer calories than we thought, says USDA researcher David Baer, who worked on both studies.
"We were surprised," he says. Baer and his colleagues compared the feces (poop, if you prefer) of people eating a controlled diet with almonds to ones who were eating a diet without any nuts. In essence, the fat in the feces shows there's a disconnect between the gross energy found in an almond and the energy our bodies actually absorb. The Blessings of Atheism.

More than perhaps any other joint in our bodies, the shoulders demand close and careful attention.
The tricky thing about maintaining good shoulder function is that it doesn’t just require strong deltoids or big traps. What I’m trying to say is this: you may be neglecting your shoulders and putting them at risk, even if you focus on only the classic multi-joint, compound exercises, like overhead presses and pull-ups, and even if you’re using good form.

Fitness Continuing Education | | Step Ups: A Better Way that Eliminates Cheating. Most people who perform step ups do so in a suboptimal manner as it’s very easy to cheat (even why trying not to) by using your back leg to do much of the work, which is why many perosnal trainers and strength coaches don’t use step ups at all in their programs.
That said, Step ups are one of our favorite single leg training options because we’ve developed a method for performing (and coaching) step ups that gives us none of the bad stuff (i.e. virtually eliminates cheating) and enhances the good stuff (i.e. the single leg strength and stability training effect).
