Foods have proteins, carbohydrates and fats in different levels and these are used by the body cells to create and store energy to perform various functions of the body. So, different food substances are required to maintain the metabolism at a healthy rate, but the proportion in which each one is consumed is still a matter of controversy

Eagles and Cowboys Fight For Spot Under The Bus

Training camp is still months off and the NFC East is falling into the Redskins hands. Maybe that's a bit much. A Dan Snyder-owned team will always implode like Six Flags. However the Eagles and Cowboys are busy fighting for room under the proverbial bus. Former Eagle Hugh Douglas ripped Eagles OT Winston Justice for getting his ass handed to him last season in the Eagles loss to the Cowboys in which QB Donovan McNabb was sacked 12 times. "If they don't bite when they're puppies, they're not g

An Unlikely Bond

*I wrote this piece 4 years ago and have tried, relentlessly, to get it published. But since Dad's passing, I have tried, relentlessly, to forget it exists -- tried to forget I ever thought these awful things, said these horrible words.

Celebrity Diets That Work!

Life isn’t always easy in Hollywood. Due to excessive green room buffets and/or unborn children inside their wombs, many celebrities often pack on the pounds. Through exercise, dieting and air brushing, however, many stars manage to lose the weight, throw on a bikini and get paid by entertainment news reporters for posing on a beach. Below, we honor the beauties that make a point of looking good, so we can make a point of searching for them on the Internet. For example, here’s a shot at Lau

Playing the numbers

Since I'm going away for the summer, I wasn't able to get an appointment with my endocrinologist until I return, so the whole blood work thing has to wait. However, I decided to check my sugar yesterday using my mom's monitor. I even took my blood pressure and pulse with her other stuff, too. For about three years, my blood sugar has been running around 100 +/- a few points here and there (o.k...more like 115 a couple of times). Yesterday, it was 87. When I tested my blood pressure it was 129/

Education

The term is not "magic bullet," it's "magic pill." That makes a lot more sense, doesn't it? Compare: "There's no magic bullet for weight loss" vs. "There's no magic pill for weight loss. "Magic bullet" IS an existing term, but it is used to describe, for example, the way a medical treatment might be able to zip in and kill JUST the bad bacteria, without harming the good bacteria: a magic bullet, weaving into the middle of a crowd of hostages and killing just the bad guy. It is NOT used to descri

The Salad Bar Business

Congratulations! You’ve been made owner of the local grocery store’s salad bar. You’re 100% owner and responsible for the revenue generated from the bar. Salad is priced by the pound, so there’s a blend of items that cost less per pound at the bar than if you bought them packaged, but there are many more that cost much more. And let’s be honest: most everything for sale at the salad bar costs way more than if you buy it one row over at the grocery store. And yet, business is thriving. You’re

Great Ways To Shave Off 100 Calories Everyday

An extra 100 calories everyday in a year could lead to a weight gain of 1 kg on average. Doesn't sound like much, but think what happens after 10 years! So if you can cut 100 calories everyday starting now, you can keep your weight under control over the years. By cutting out 100 calories daily (in excess of what you need) and maintaining the same energy usage, you can shave off 3 kg in one year. You can also do that little extra to burn the calories off. With these tips, you'll see it's not difficult at all. Remember to balance your intake - so, after eating junk food, reduce the portion size of the next meal to compensate the calories consumed earlier. Eat fruit, which is rich in minerals and fiber, to stay full and reduce cravings

Childhood regression

I’m back in my routine today after spending eight days with my mom and grandparents. The trip was lovely, and I mostly handled it well (considering how many sweets are available at my grandparents' house and that I got that stupid phone call from the nurse in the middle of it). I noticed though, how easy it is to regress into old feelings from childhood while in their presence, even though I’m almost thirty-freaking-five now. The event that really triggered this for me was Sunday lunch at a sea

A Road Map For Weight Loss

But I hope that you will be the one who gets on the bandwagon to lose weight and the one who stays on. Staying on the path to lose weight is not a quick fix; it will have to be and must be a lifestyle change. You most certainly will have to change the way in which you eat, the times that you eat the amount that you eat and even the people whom you eat with. This is why losing weight is so difficult because it requires you to change.

So, How Do I Get There From Here?

Last night, I had a fun-filled evening watching the Wings game (even though they lost, it was still a great game, or at least a great 3rd period), chatting with some cute boy in the UK and yapping on Twitter. Then I couldn’t sleep. Until 2:30 a.m. I’m blaming the excitement of the game and the gallons of Crystal Light “energy” I drank yesterday. No more of that shit for me. I’ll stick to the non-energizing Crystal Light, tyvm. I totally overslept this morning, too; completely turned off my alar

Simple minded

Oh, this is just precious! Apparently, the gentleman who stopped the mass murder in a bar with his own private weapon is a hero, sure, but could have been a hero if he'd have just tackled the guy or whacked him upside the head with an empty O'Doul's bottle. Query:  Had this good samaritan tackled the shooter, would he be less of a hero?  Had he struck the shooter over the head with a beer bottle, would he be less of a hero?  There are plenty of other examples, but the point is the same.

By now, if you have been researching how to properly diet to lose weight and build lean muscle, you should know the types of foods you should be eating for success.

Memorial Day weekend.

Our Memorial weekend was perfect! I’m ever the spontaneous one in the family so imagine what fun it was for me that I was able to drive off to Vegas with hubby, Erynne and my mom with only a day’s notice (less than, actually. Went online on Friday morning, reserved and paid for a car around 9ish, picked it up at the airport past noon and we were on the road around 4ish). It was awesome. The only maddening part was getting stuck in traffic for 3 hours (get this: 64 miles was all we accomplish

Can Fiber Help Weight Loss?

Starting off with breakfast. Most people start off the day with a donut or some sugary pastry of some sort. Other start off with a trip to the nearest fast food joint. And by mid morning we can hardly stay away long enough for lunchtime. Lunchtime you might once again head to your friendly neighborhood fast food joint for breakfast. Consume candies and chips for your snacks and by dinner rolls around you are heading off to your favorite restaurant for another unhealthy meal. You have gone through an entire day of having no fiber in your diet

Magellan Travel Scale

Weight loss isn’t exactly one of my major priorities. It’s not that I couldn’t spare a few pounds (or a lot of few pounds, even), it’s just that with so much going on in my life right now, it seems like a I can’t find a spare second to sleep, let alone weigh myself and monitor food intake. Does this sort of mentality remind you of anyone? Health and physical well-being are on an upswing compared to the indulgence of the late-90s and early millennium years. People are starting to get back int

How to Tell Someone You Love That They Need to Change

Have you ever thought, "Why didn't someone tell me?" and wondered why a friend or loved one didn't quietly take you aside and offer you advice or say the difficult truth when you were about to make a terrible mistake? Have you looked back at a time in your life when you were running head-on into a train wreck - and realizing that no one tried to stop you, thought to yourself, "If someone had just said something to me, maybe I could have avoided that?" It is important to reflect on these moments in life so that we can be ready when the situation is reversed - when it isn't us, but our loved one who is headed for disaster with their lifestyle and health.

Is Your Emotion Holding You Back From Weight Loss

But many might not know that just about any kind of emotion can cause us to go off on a binge eating if we are not keeping our emotions under control. Emotions such as frustration about your job, your life, your family, your marriage, even your health can send you to the nearest donut or candy shop. Anger, hopelessness, and the biggest of all emotions, boredom will most surely set you up to desire foods that are loading with much too much calories, sugar and fat that your body does not need and will not be able to use.

Herbal Supplements Are Weighing In

The mainstream is awash with crash dieting methods and synthetic diet pills promising shortcuts to weight loss. But did you know that a broader system governs the conduct of body weight? It takes proper nutrition, metabolic and digestive health, apart from attaining a balance between Ghrelin and Leptin, or the hormones that regulate food cravings. Diets can only do so much to control caloric intake that often leaves you undernourished while weight loss pills hardly promote significant weight loss. Therefore, if you desire a healthy and sustained approach to weight loss you will have to do it the natural way by harnessing the therapeutic bounties of herbal remedies.

Do Endorsements Matter?

Which, if any, endorsements made a difference for the Democrats? One of the major features of explaining the primary victories of either candidate in any given state or territory, alongside demographics or previous voting history, has been the litany of endorsements that are collected along the way. However, when we compare the geographical and chronological spread of these endorsements, we see that they frequently appear to be entirely independent of their chosen candidate’s success in that

Calorie Counting Doesn't Work For Weight Loss

People wishing to loose weight believe they can loose weight by only cutting back on daily calories, but what if I tell you this is not completely true. As a matter of fact if you cut back too much on your calorie intake per day by starvation and meal skipping, your body will soon reach a level where no matter how little you eat your body simply can not loose any more rather it will put it back on.

Calorie Shift To Lose Weight? Of Course!

If you are struggling to lose weight or know someone who is, you will understand the frustration and disappointment of losing weight, only to gain it back shortly after. Many of the fad diets promises quick weight loss, what they do not tell you is that they come with quick weight gain as well. The reason this happens is because with many fad diets, you are required to eat so little calories or avoid an entire food group all together.

Warmbrod on logical constants

I finished reading the article "Logical Constants" by Ken Warmbrod and what follows is a rough bunch of reflections on it. In the article he gives an analysis of the notion of logicality. He distinguishes two sorts of logicality: core and extended. Core logicality is the primary notion that we are after with logical studies and extended logicality is the cluster of notions that logicians also study but do not fall properly within the scope of core logicality. Core logicality is supposed to minim

Fit Flops: Form Meets Function

Engineered by Marcia Kilgore â€"the founder of Bliss Spa, the sandals with “microwobbleboard technology” promise greater calorie burn and cellulite reduction simply by walking.

My Super Alter Ego: Captain Annoying

I don’t have the time to battle evil people, so I don’t think I would be able to be a superhero.

None of us had been running much lately (I’ve had a bad case of “turf toe” since February), so a 5K for fun (and to get the t-shirt) seemed about right. We were running late, so we ended up at the back of the pack at the start. As we stood there waiting for the gun to go off, we suddenly heard the people around us applauding and cheering. We looked up and saw the very last 10K finisher (it had s

Why a weekly review and not just a weigh in?

I try to think of my weight loss efforts a week at a time. And I try to focus on changing my behavior in ways that will make me healthier and ways that should eventually pay off at the scale.   Unfortunately, our bodies don’t always cooperate by losing in a straight line, and sometimes a few bad days won’t register any change on the scale… My approach is about putting the scale in perspective â€" as only a piece of the information I use to assess how I’m doing. So each week before I weigh in (a

Disappointing Wii support from Ubisoft

I may be one of the few, but I welcome casual and expanded audience titles on the Wii. That doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy core titles, as well. Ubisoft seemed to damn the core Wii owner today, but offering a big, steaming pile of…casual. The Wii wasn’t the only one to get dumped on. The DS saw an explosion of ‘Imagine’ titles, and games that had way too many Zs. What in the world is Ubisoft thinking? Do they really believe in the products that they are putting out?

Obesity Trend

It may be early to actually believe or celebrate the obesity statistics of children have leveled off. This is just a tip of the "overweight" iceberg if true. Nonetheless, a report in the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) provides such promise that shows we may be headed in the right direction, but we hardly think so. Not that pessimism is healthy, but even if the obesity rates are slowing down does this translate to better health as well? Probably not. Why? Because the amount of so

A Vegetable Diet To Lose Weight Or To Ruin Health

Detoxify And Lose Weight With Herbal Remedies

The greatest threat to cell metabolism is the toxins we get from environmental pollution. Know that toxins disrupt the delicate balance of vital organs, particularly those involved in the process of digestion. Weight issues could also come about as a consequence of a sedentary lifestyle, which further retards the body's metabolic engines. What weight loss hopefuls need is an overall health program that flushes out the toxins from the body and likewise revives the energy required by metabolic components to function properly.

Today’s Tip: Avoid these foods:  1) partially hydrogenated oils; 2) high-fructose corn syrup; 3) choose a short ingredient list over a long ingredient list on any label, and; 4) look for two or more grams of fiber per 100 calories in all grain products such as breads, cereals, crackers and chips.

Pinkberry, eat your heart out

Today during lunch I decided to get some frozen yogurt goodness. My New York readers will know all about Pinkberry, but for those of you who don't...wikipedia refers to it as an "upscale franchise of frozen dessert restaurants." It's basically a hyped-up trendy frozen yogurt place---the Kirspy Kreme of frozen yogurt. It's quite trendy. But also tasty. Anyways, I didn't go there. Instead, I went next door (quite literally like 4 doors down the street) to Very Berry, one of those places that peop

Lose Belly Fat Faster With These 4 Herbs & Spices

Overweight? The Solution

I have tried almost every diet there is; each one left me feeling very dissatisfied with the results. I was overweight, and like most people who are overweight, I wanted results fast! Upon trying this new pattern of eating, I noticed right away that I had more energy. After about a week or so, I started to lose weight. I was honestly amazing at how easy it was. I didn't have to start jogging, and I didn't have to restrict my diet. All I had to do was eat smaller more frequent meals!

A Stomach Band Can Help You Achieve Your Ideal Weight

Health and wealth are considered to be among the most important things for any individual and the rest of the emotions and desires accordingly follow. However, even among the two prime necessities, I would say that health is perhaps more important, even than wealth, as there is no way money earned can provide you with happiness, if you are not healthy enough to enjoy it. Sadly, modern times have forced individuals to participate in the rat race to earn more money, prestige and success but in the bargain, they have lost out on the health aspect.

Having A Healthy Body Is Green(And It Will Make Your Friends "Green" With Envy!)

The average consumer throws away 16 pounds of metal cans, 130 pounds of plastic and 230 pounds of paper each year just from food packaging! While some of this is recyclable - not contributing to this cycle is one of the best forms of eco-activity easily adopted by all of us. Never mind the thousands of unreclycable flimsy bags we bring all the stuff home in every day. Sadly, this all adds up to the real-life manifestation of garbage in - garbage out. Imagine the revolution in our bodies, our homes, and our landfills that switching to living foods would cause: carrots tied in a bunch and apples not already sauced, tuna with gills and fresh beets attached to their greens (great in soups, by the way).

In this video from Beachbody Network News, Siren, who is also a Beachbody Coach, talks about how challenging the P90X workouts are, and coming from one of the stars of a show that is based on strength and athleticism, that's some high praise! Also, the Beachbody Coaches for Dave Gardner and Irma Sanc

Foods that help Weight Loss

This simply means that foods like fried chicken, roasted pork chops, potatoes smothered in butter and melted cheese may taste fantastic but they are hell on your digestive system. In order to enjoy your meals while at the same time avoid gaining masses of weight you should take some care. You will find that there are some foods that help you lose weight. These foods should be combined with generous helpings of nutritious foods like leafy green vege

The Unexpected East

After the Seattle series, the Sox play 7 games against the Orioles and Rays, so with the Sox roughly a third of the way through the season, I thought now would be a good time to evaluate how the division stands.

Got Sleep Apnea? Go Green, as in Green Tea

If you find yourself having the proverbial brain freeze at work all too often, and you know you suffer from sleep apnea (or think you do because you just can’t feel rested after a long night’s sleep), then listen up: it’s time to reach for the green tea. More than 18 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, a sleep disorder that causes your airway to collapse during sleep. If you’re among those millions, then each night your breathing essentially gets cut off multiple times, and so does tha

Father's Day Gift Ideas and Diet Update

I am still feeling low and sad and crabby and like everything is the end of the world: "My computer is running slow! Slowwwwwwwwwwwwwww! *flops listlessly in chair*" Today I'm trying a depression-combating method I read about a long time ago and periodically call into service: drinking 1/4th cup of coffee every hour, as if taking medicine. It's supposed to give you a more even keel than if you drink a huge honking mug in the morning and try to coast all the way to bedtime. If you are at a los

I'm STILL not on a bloody diet!!

Michelle's post yesterday about people's funny attitudes to healthy eating was prophetic. This afternoon I was in one of the kitchens at the office, draining the water out of a can of tuna for my afternoon snack, when someone I barely know came in and said Oh, so you're still on your diet then? I have never discussed dieting or weight loss or anything related with this person - we just happen to work on the same floor and have often been in the kitchen at the same time, preparing our lunch.

Podcast 12: Your Hoodia Weight Loss Pills Didn’t Work?

Visit any forum where hoodia weight loss pills are discussed and the most common question asked will be, “Does hoodia work?” In most cases, that question will be followed up with a handful of people who complain that their hoodia didn’t work! When I see comments like that, I always want to know more as to why they say it didn’t work. If they were expecting some kind of miracle weight loss pill, then of course hoodia won’t work. That’s not what hoodia does. It does not increase metabolism or

Back on The Water

Memorial weekend is always the unofficial, official start to summer for our family, and part of that tradition is getting in our first ski session of the summer, no matter how cold the water. It was tempting to break with tradition this year. The water was freezing, the air temp was below 70 and the wind was blowing strong. But we jumped in anyway. And let me tell you it felt good. I managed to salmon ski toward the end of the summer last year, but it took a few tries to get up and I didn’t re

It’s Time

This weekend I was walking on the sidewalk in front of a stripmall.  I saw my reflection in the store window and determined that my ass needs its own zip code.  Combined with Ebaby’s lovely question I have decided it is time to jump back on the weight loss wagon.  I’m not going to make any “Weight Loss Wednesday” or “Fat Ass Friday” commitments though.  I’m just going to post when I’ve actually lost weight.  Maybe not even then.  Who knows?    Before I got pregnant my goal was to lose 100 po

Brain Alignment

When I was younger we would go as a family up to my parents house in Maine, my father's best friend, my Uncle Jim had a house next door. Uncle Jim is a funny guy and whenever we did something without thinking or said something without thinking he would say we needed a brain alignment. He would grab our head in his hand and shake it around a bit, we would crack up! Its definitely one of my favorite memories with Uncle Jim as he's also good with sound effects so he would add them in liberally thro

How Herbal Remedies Promote Weight Loss?

When we aren't thirsty, we are not aware that we are dehydrated whi

Can't Lose The Stomach Fat!

The only way to truly lose the fat is to work it off. Regardless of doing countless abs exercises the reason the six-pack abs remains invisible is due to excess layer of fat covering the tummy. The key is: diet and exercise. Cut out all refined sugar; and add more fiber to your diet as well. The fiber and protein will fill you up. By eating more than three small meals spread out through the day, you will kick your metabolism in high gear

Waistline at Risk for Stressed Women

Waistline at Risk for Stressed Women May 28th, 2008 New studies have sown that individuals who are stressed have higher BMIs or Body Mass Index. This can be attributed to the fact that stressed individuals usually resort to consuming food that’s easy to find and fast, or more popularly known as fast food. Stress can also trigger emotional eating in some individuals as a means of coping. The study also found that women were more prone to these dangers compared to men. Lack of emotional suppo

They don’t call Wanderlei Silva the “Axe Murderer” for nothing. Wanderlei became a star in PRIDE FC with his fast hands and his overly aggressive style in the ring. The Silva stare prior to the actual fight itself became one of the most intense moments in all of MMA fighting. Following his loss to Tito Ortiz at UFC 25, Silva went an unbelievable 18 fights without a loss. Even more impressive, these fights included open weight fights against fighters like Mirko Cro Cop, Quinton Jackson, Dan Hen

Eliminate one bad habit and lose weight

You were perhaps slim and fit even a few months ago. What was it then, that made you gain weight with tremendous speed within a few weeks? Well, you may not have an answer to that question, but I do. I know that you became overweight within a short period of time because of the power of habit. You developed the bad habit of eating junk foods regularly, and eventually you couldn’t control your habit and became overweight. Good news is that with a small change, you can use the power of habit to

Update on My Exercising Experience

Last month I started my exercise program of walking and bike riding.  What I have been doing is one day I walk and the next day I will ride bikes with my son.  By alternating between the two my body seems to do better with that routine.  I have been walking almost 2 miles and it takes me 35 minutes to do that.  I think that is pretty good considering how out of shape I am and with having ME/CFS .

Is There A Special Secret In Losing Weight?

Maintaining a healthy weight isn't a special secret, in fact natural weight loss is about eating properly and regular physical activity; nevertheless how many people follow this advice. This advice should be easy to comprehend - at least you would think it was; although, currently over 35 percent of Americans continue to get larger, and they aren't the only ones around the world! Despite this, most of these overweight people want to be trim again although it is probably more for cosmetic reasons than those related to their health.

Colin Farrell not as scary skinny as you might think

Colin Farrell drew alarm a couple weeks ago when a photo came out like of him looking extremely emaciated and like a shadow of the buff Irish actor with a heart we know and love. He lost the weight, which looks like 20-30 pounds off an already-thin frame, for a role. Farrell plays a Spanish photojournalist in war-torn Bosnia in the early 1990s in the film Triage, based on a novel by Scott Anderson. His character is torn apart by guilt and regret for the difficult choices he’s forced to make

I want to compliment myself because I took a vow quite awhile back that I would stop whining about all the bad things in this job, and I think I have done a pretty good job of it lately. When you start letting things like lengthy triage waits and pompous health care providers (whether hospital, EMS, nursing home, doctor office or visiting nurse) and miserable patients and poor dispatching bother you, your day just feels so much heavier.

Stop the First Job Weight Gain!

People say it’s normal, but it doesn’t make it any less painful or annoying. Most of us end up gaining weight when we start our first jobs. Maybe it’s because this is the age when our metabolism starts slowing down a little. Maybe it’s also because most of us end up tied to a desk all day, a far cry from all the walking and running we used to do to get to class after class after class. Whatever the reason, here are tips to subscribe to help keep that weight off! 1.    Eat breakfast- It’s the

Lose Weight And Stay Fit With Microwave Pork Rinds! Enjoy The Crunch

See how you can lose weight and stay healthy with microwave pork rinds.

Fruit & the economy!

Ciao all! I'm not sure what the price of fruit is in the US these days, but it's ridiculously high here in Italy-even at our Navy commissary.

That being said, I've found a great frozen fresh company that supplies our commissary: "VIP Use Like Fresh"! They have awesome fruit that really does taste fresh when starting to thaw, and their veggies are really good too (you have to cook those!). T

You Are What You Eat In More Ways Than One

In this world of mass consumption, I think that there is a basic rule that people keep on forgetting, and it’s this: You are what you eat. This logic applies to life in many ways- from what people you choose as your friends, to what you put in your body. Statistics have proven that people who tend to hang around overweight people also tend to be overweight. People who exercise regularly tend to hang around other people who do the same. This has really been my lesson for this week, mostly due

By targeting part of the brain which controls appetite, it makes the user feel full soon after starting a meal and cuts the urge to snack.

Low Sodium Loss - Great Way To Loose Weight And Have A Lifestyle Change

Using a Low Sodium Diet Plan can be a great way to reduce the amount of salt that we eat. It is important that you understand that there is already a lot of salt in the foods we eat and if you are adding extra salt then you may be getting way to much. The invention of the salt shaker could have been one of the worst things because it is really a habit forming invention and we get used to adding salt to our food before we even taste it to see if it seems bland.

Step 1: Scavenge, hunt down and find all fattening food in the house. Ice cream, cookies, fried stuff etc. etc. If you don't have, buy and bring. Step 2: Eat all of it. Clean. Like there's no tomorrow. Step 3: Start diet now. Absence of any junk food in house should make it a lot easier. Yes? Methinks this should be super-effective. I have just gone through iterations of Step 1 and 2. May be I'll get to step 3 soon. 

May is National Osteoporosis Awareness Month

May is National Osteoporosis Awareness Month. The National Osteoporosis Foundation estimates that 10 million Americans have the disease and that almost 34 million more are estimated to have low bone mass, placing them at increased risk for osteoporosis. In osteoporosis, the bones are weakened by loss of bone tissue (a condition called osteopenia), making a person much more susceptible to fractures. The disorder is often a silent one, discovered only after fractures occur. In some serious case

The day the baby came

For the first half a week I kept thinking, gosh, I haven't felt the baby kick for some time, I hope he's alright in there. Then I'd remember. He's out here. Our infertile fantasy has become reality. A blurry, fast-paced reality full of appointments with doctors, obstetricians and lactation consultants, hospital stays for jaundice, out of town visitors, and short bursts of activity punctuated by shorter bursts of sleep. Labour was long, and it took several days to recover. Meanwhile, BayBea (dam

The SEC's Evolution over the past 15 years

We juss gotta git budder. Mr. SEC recently looked at the power shifts in the SEC since 1993. Obviously, the Dawgs are one of the fastest rising programs over that period of time, and his article got me thinking about what a wildly different position we are now vs. just 15 years ago.

We had obviously taken t

GAME THOUGHTS: Red Sox vs. Mariners, May 26 (5-3 loss)

Another large crowd, with plenty of Sox fans, I'm sure a few M's fans might have sold their tickets for this series. GAME THOUGHTS START HERE: 9:41 -- Papelbon makes it interesting, but the Mariners still lose. 9:26 -- Just an unreal play by Adrian Beltre for a double play. I know he's not hitting well now, and he's made a few errors in the field, but there are only maybe two other third basemen in the league that can make that play. 9:03 -- and the wheels have fallen off. Pedroia and Mann

Where it all began - part 2

continued from here A gust of wind blew in and the whole room was in a mess and the next thing we knew the roof was gone. I being the lightest was nearly lifted from my feet. For a moment I felt like i had grown wings. Pablo was leading since he was acting as an anchor. Juane did not need any anchor as his weight was enough to hold him in position. I was in the middle and most of the time my feet were off the ground. Thanks to the rope I did not join the birds. The storm was growing menacing b
