| How kids can build muscles without 'juicing'
My husband and I have purchased protein powder at the health food store for our 15-year-old son. Is this bad for him? He eats a good diet and works out and my husband plans to start a new workout program with him. What's recommended? A: If your son is eating a balanced diet that includes enough protein from sources such as lean chicken and meat, fish and legumes, he shouldn't need the protein powder or any other supplements, for that matter, says Avery Faigenbaum, a professor of health and exercise science at the College of New Jersey in Ewing who also serves as a strength and conditioning consultant for high school sports teams. .

no, no, don't get up
I'll just sit right here in this chair
you stay right there. Huh, what? No, it's not THAT talk
it's just that, well, I couldn't help noticing something that happened last night during, you know, the game. Yes, yes
that's right, the Vancouver game. See, first of all, if you look at it on the whole, you really didn't do too terribly bad. I mean, if you simply look at the stats you did stop 26 of the 28 shots that you faced. That's good. Oh, and while we're at it
how about those friends of yours playing defense holding the Canucks to just 28 shots, eh? We've always said that anything under 30 is good, haven't we, son? Yes
yes we have.
A New Year's Celebration: Favorite Recipes of 2007
2-3 pegs (cloves) garlic, minced 8 cups vegetable oil 24 cups long grain white rice 1 bunch thyme (a dozen or so sprigs) 1 bunch scallions, chopped and crushed 3 medium or 2 large onions, chopped 3 stalks celery ½ large green sweet pepper, chopped 2-3 whole Scotch bonnet peppers 1- 14-ounce can coconut milk ½ cup salt 2 tablespoons ground black pepper Water as needed Cook the beans with plenty of water and the garlic until tender (I cut time by using a pressure cooker) until tender. Never add salt to the water when you are tendering the beans. When cooked, there should be enough liquid with the beans so they are almost covered. Set aside and cover. Heat the oil over medium high heat in a large caldero or pot with flat bottom. Add the rice and stir well, and keep stirring frequently until rice is turning translucent, but do not allow it to brown.

Warning over new homes carbon plan
The housing industry needs to rethink the whole construction process if the Government is to meet its target for all new homes to be zero-carbon by 2016, a report has said. According to the National Trust, a study of a housing development on Trust land near Altrincham, Cheshire, showed large scale building could deliver high environmental standards on water and energy consumption. But the project also revealed there were currently a number of obstacles, ranging from gaps between predicted energy conservation in the design and actual performance to a lack of labour and environmentally sustainable products in the UK. The National Trust said a strong sense of direction from the Government and wholehearted support from the construction industry was "vital" if the 2016 zero-carbon targets were to be met.
Fuel charge pushes TVA rate jump
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Electric prices will be going up by double digits in April for consumers receiving Tennessee Valley Authority power. The federal utility announced Wednesday a fuel adjustment charge of a half penny per kilowatt hour for the third quarter that begins April 1. The charge will cover fuel price increases and the cost of electricity purchased from outside the TVA system to meet peak power demand. It is adjusted every three months. The latest fuel charge will mean about $2 to $5 more per month for the average residential consumer, or about a 5 percent increase. That will be along with a 7 percent general electric rate increase approved by TVA directors on Friday. That increase, also set to take effect April 1, will mean $4 to $7 more a month for residential customers.
How to be a good lover
Visit your local Body Shop outlet and display no hint of emotion as you buy some of their pricey but hugely useful Sensual Bath and Massage Oil. Or make up your own concoction of oils, including sandalwood, lemon grass, musk and lavender. You can use the essential oils in a burner, or mix it with carrier oil - sweet almond oil is fine - and use it as massage oil. A warning on massage: many blokes rub too hard. Try to rub more softly than you like to be rubbed. By all means work the back (never directly on the spine), shoulders, arms, buttocks and legs, but for a change, massage your partner's face and hands as well. Think of how stress builds up in your face, squinting at a monitor, traffic or dollar-rand exchange rates. Its the same for her. Make a special place for love
Yes, there are times for wild, impromptu couplings on your desk, the kitchen counter and car bonnet.
