Quick meals after work outs
- s
- swanee Dec 15, 2004 02:19 PM
Hello! Ok, so I work out after work 3-4 times a week. Because of that, I don't get home until 8 at the earliest. I am usually hungry but am too tired to cook so I'll have a piece of cheese and a can of tuna. Lately my body has been rejecting the thought of can tuna. What I am hoping for is some easy to prepare dinner recipes that aren't fattening or heavy. Or even some snack suggestions. Or even some links to go to. I can't fathom eating another can of tuna for at least two weeks! Thanks so much ~
PS: I live alone if that makes a difference.
After my evening workouts I try to get some protein in the form of dairy into my system. I am also way too lazy to cook anything, so these are my favorite post-workout evening meals:
- yogurt (usually plain)with a bit of granola
- a glass of lowfat buttermilk with toast(maybe some peanut butter on the toast)
- a yogurt-based smoothie with a whole or half banana and some frozen berries. You can add protein powder to this if you'd like.
- cottage cheese
- nuts to munch on are also good
Needless to say, I try to concentrate on eating one of the above as soon as I get home; otherwise I will graze happily on anything in the kitchen for hours at night.
Why don't you try making food in advance? I ususally do a lot of cooking or prepping on Sundays. Things that keep well for a whole week are soups and stews.
Things I would have on hand are pre-washed lettuce, pre-cut veggies and already cooked chicken breast or other protein item. During the week those things can turn into a meal in less than 15 minutes.
You can also preboil pasta and use them during the week for pasta salad or a quick hot pasta stir fry dish.
Soup & Eggs.
Example of the third option: Get some Swanson low sodium chicken broth and treat it as your soup base. Bring quickly to a simmer and throw in diced or frozen veggies/greens of your choice (like peas, corn, green beans, baby spinach, et cet). Add some angel hair pasta (cooks in like 2 minutes). Remove from the heat and either stir in beaten eggs in a stream or crack an egg or two directly in it to cook to your liking (basically poaching it in the soup). Season with salt, pepper, perhaps some cracked red pepper, and parsley. Top with some grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (not very fattening, and full of good stuff for you), if you like. The whole thing should take 10-15 minutes max, if that.
If you want to get grand, instead of the pasta you could toast up slices of Italian or French bread and spoon the soup over them. That's actually what "soup" means -- it's liquid to sop up stale bread.
Yep, eggs are your friend. One of my favorite quick meals was sauteeing zucchini, cracking an egg or 2 over it, putting that whole mess in a tortilla and covering with salsa.
If you want a little more like a real dinner, but still quick, get some of those thin cut boneless pork chops (surprisingly not too many calories), salt and pepper them, throw them in a pan. They are done in a couple of minutes per side. Take them out of the pan, put in presliced mushrooms, maybe garlic/onions, then deglaze with some red wine, heat up some leftover rice from the big batch you made over the weekend, and pour the sauce over the rice and chop. Add some frozen peas nuked for 3 minutes, and you have a complete dinner. I've done this all in under 10 minutes before.
Canned beans are your friend, too, heat them up with sauteed onions and red peppers for rice and beans. Or pasta and steamed vegetables with olive oil and garlic.
And every once in a while, make an entire pan of lasagna or pot of chili and freeze in individual portions. You'll love yourself for it later when you get to eat it.
Prosciutto and Fontina sandwich
This will require some advanced shopping but all of these things you can get and keep in the fridge for a little while and they won't go bad.
You will need about 2 thin slices of Prosciutto per sandwich. A loaf of unsliced, good, day old bread, such as Acme sourdough batard, or whatever you have local that's available to you. A bunch of arugula or spinach. Fontina cheese or provolone (fontina is tastier). A clove of garlic. Some EV olive oil, salt, and fresh ground pepper.
Slice two 1" slices of bread and put under broiler in oven or toaster oven. When browned, take out and rub the top with garlic, then drizzle olive oil over and salt and pepper. Take one slice and lay slices of cheese on and put back under the broiler to melt. Take out and lay on proscuitto, then some arugula, and then the other slice. Press down on the sandwich with your hand then slice in half.
Eat. Good healthy meal, with all of your nutrition and not too fattening, but luxurious.
Buon Appetito!
Salad with feta and olives/ beans / chicken- whatever suits you.
Cottage cheese with some dried herbs sprinkled in and crackers or veggies as dippers.
If you aren't avoiding carbs, whole wheat bread with: peanut butter and banana
cheese and tomato
egg salad (hardboil some eggs over the weekend or when you have time.)
Tuna melt (when you are willing to eat tuna and cheese again.)
I am in the same situation as you. One thing I find myself doing often is buying the packaged, precooked breaded chicken breasts (not frozen), I think made by Perdue. In my supermarkets, they are in the same area as the regular, raw poultry. They are very low in fat and calories and high in protein. All it takes in 10 minutes in an oven to heat up. I do everything with them. Add mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce and you have homemade chicken parm. Sometimes I serve with spaghetti with garlic and oil. Sometimes I'll add cayenne pepper and chili powder and some hot sauce and I have a buffalo chicken sandwich. I've also bought prepacked salad mix, tossed in the chicken and added caesar dressing for a chicken caesar. It really is a life saver for those quick meals at 9 on a weekday. Esp. since there is very little clean up.
Also note, there are regular and low fat varieties. I can't taste the differences between the 2, but the lowfat variety has about 1/3 of the fat and calories as the normal one, so that's what i get
Lately, I've been stirring Isopure protein powder into oatmeal... eating it as I type.
Trader Joe's sells butternut squash precut, so I'll throw that in the microwave, and either incorporate with other veggies into an egg white omelette, or I'll eat it as my carb mashed with a little smart balance and cinnamon, and then have precooked rotisserie chicken.
I also like to keep brown rice on hand. I'll cook a batch and that will generally last me for a few days. Stir fry it with egg whites and veggies for fried rice, or with teriyaki sauce and chicken.
I love cottage cheese, and occasionally, gross as it may sound to some, will stir it into my whole grain/wheat pasta, and add a little splenda and cinnamon. It's reminiscent of noodle kugel.
And if you're really feeling lazy, make a shake :)
Some more ideas (I used to work until 8 or 9 at night, so here is what I used to eat):
--Cereal and milk (soy if you like)
--Hummus (I like Trader Joe's spicy hummus, but make homemade sometimes on weekends to last the week) and precut carrots or other precut veggies, and whole wheat pita bread
--Plain yogurt with fruit, cereal and a drizzle of honey
--Sandwiches (do you have a panini press? if so a cool appetizing sandwich is only a couple minutes away if you buy the ingredients on Sunday) or a grilled cheese
--chicken salad (as a substitute for the tuna salad)--you can use precooked chicken for this
--you could make soup on the weekends, freeze it and reheat it for dinner in the microwave, and serve it with a slice of toast sprinkled with grated cheese and broiled (I keep whole wheat bread in the freezer for this purpose)
I just came back from the gym myself - I find that for some reason, I'm usually not terribly hungry after I work out - so I want something small - and I don't want anything oily, greasy or heavy (I guess I should work out more - then I won't always be craving french fries!).
Usually, I pick up sushi, because it's fresh and light. With the rice there's some starch, but it's mostly all about the fresh raw fish. Yum. And then I don't feel laden down afterwards, and guilty about eating something that's just sitting like a lead weight in my stomach.
I am in the same position, but what I usually do is cook something in advance that we can eat by just heating it up in the microwave or on the stove. Today we had some Czech cabbage soup.
mrs. joypirate and i have the same problem and we usually do a salad of some good greens, grape tomatoes, peppers and then mix-up the protein a bit. Yesterday I stopped at a deli (dibruno bros in philly) and picked up some scallops (some marinated in balsamic, some in garlic lemon) and quickly threw them in the broiler while cutting the peppers, then tossed them with everything. Made a quick homemade dressing of balsamic, evoo, s&p & dry mustard. We've done the same (though it's not quite as fast) w/salmon. The other day we saw a new deli that opened down the street w/seared tuna and tenderloin, which means we can do a his/her salad next time. To add yet another Trader Joe's mention, they've got a tomato foccaccia that heats up pretty fast in the broiler for when we want to add some bread to the mix.
Or for a totally different (albeit not the world's healthiest) approach...
Drink a good solid beer, call it a night, and have a terrific healthy breakfast in the morning.
I always have a bit of a high after a workout that the beer "cures" - and diet/health folks always seem to have something negative to say about eating after 8pm.
I usually have a non-dairy protein shake when I get home (I like chocolate whey protein, cold water, maybe a bit of ice) first. I have heard, although not confirmed, that dairy can slow the necessary protein intake. Whatever, cold water is always on hand. Sometimes I'll have a salad after that. Sometimes a steak - takes about 10 minutes tops to hot sear and bake it. Sometimes a steak and a salad.
Also consider your brand of tuna (sometimes I just open a can, add a little S&P and eat that too). I just ordered the tuna sampler pack from the Tuna Guys and can't wait for it to arrive.
I like a couple of 7-11 hotdogs with everything on 'em after a good hour of racketball. It makes me feel much better after being so good to myself!!

The Cost of Reducing SO2 (It?s Higher Than You Think)
any additional SO2 reductions were to come from local requirements laid on top of the present Title IV cap (as might be expected for regulations directed at ambient air quality), then this greater stringency would render the Title IV cap meaningless. The new NAAQS requirements would create a flood of allowances and would shrink the pool of potential buyers. Although allowance prices would plummet, costs to reduce SO2 would increase. Current allowance prices (which depend in part on future prices) would also fall.
CARBON DIOXIDE. Though less imminent, any cap imposed on carbon-dioxide emissions to address climate change would also likely affect SO2 allowance prices. The primary way to achieve CO2 cuts is to replace coal and oil with natural gas or renewable fuels or to improve energy efficiency. Both methods will reduce demand for coal-fired power and cause the baseline of SO2 emissions (and the demand for allowances) to drop. Overall, this result would dampen the growth in allowance prices but these lower prices would not be attributable to the benefits of allowance trading.
TRADING PROGRAMS. What if new NAAQS requirements were imposed through an entirely new emissions trading market, such as allowances for NOx or for CO2? Many lessons might be drawn from SO2 trading.
One key feature of the SO2 market would need to be present again. The SO2 cap was set at a level that left a wide range of options open to each individual source: an approximate 50-percent reduction was required in a situation where there was a technologically proven option that could achieve reductions of 95 percent. Combined with that was the presence of a wide continuum of lower percentage reductions possible via fuels with many different sulfur content levels. Thus, there was room for applying the most costly control measures on only a small fraction of the regulated units, where they would be truly cost-effective. This situation also laid the groundwork for substantial price competition among very different types of control options. A more stringent cap would have reduced the degree of flexibility to manage costs, and probably also the degree of price competition among suppliers of control options. The ability to take advantage of cheaper low-sulfur coals from the West would have been greatly diminished if aggregate SO2 reduction requirements were substantially greater than 50 percent.
Market-based regulatory approaches are here to stay. Emissions trading has proven an effective tool, but will not make the cost of controlling emissions disappear. It is not fair to say that the Title IV experience shows that initial cost estimates are not to be trusted for guiding policy decisions. As always, the main determinant of cost is the stringency of the measure. F

Amateur Photographs Prove Herons Feed On Stingrays
Posted by David Ozanich — 12 Apr 2011
Danny Dolan was out walking on the Mississippi Sound when he captured on film the first photographic proof that herons feed on stingrays. I'll give you a moment to catch your breath after hearing this BREAKING NEWS. Seriously though, until Dolan's photographs were examined by scientists, they didn't even know this was possible. AL.com has the story:
A longtime camera buff, Dolan focused on the bird and started shooting, unaware that he was capturing an event so rare that scientists were unsure it was even possible until they saw his pictures.
The heron made a number of unsuccessful stabs in the knee-deep water, then thrust its head beneath the surface and held it there for what Dolan considered an unusually long time. He kept shooting as the water around the bird began to boil.
Ultimately, the heron emerged with a salad-plate-sized stingray spiked on the end of its bill.
"It was perfect timing, right place, right time. I couldn't believe what I was seeing through my viewfinder when he came up with the ray speared on his bill," said Dolan.
He happened to have a telephoto lens with him on that Biloxi beach because he'd been photographing his sons' football game at Nichols State University. This fortunate discovery has led to a scientific paper (of which Dolan is a co-author) being published. Just in case you want to know exactly what went down on that Mississippi shore here's a good description:
Dolan shot more than 200 images of the catch, the most compelling of which began with the ray spiked on the end of the heron's bill. The bird then started working the two halves of its beak back and forth in the hole poked through the ray, while occasionally dunking the creature underwater. Slowly, the hole got larger. After a few minutes, the ray was dead.

Matt Royal makes friends on Facebook
Date: January 23, 2013
by: Observer Staff
Between solving murders and late nights at Tiny's of Longboat, Matt Royal has found time to get on Facebook.
The protagonist of Longboat Key novelist H. Terrell "Terry" Griffin's seven thrillers (who bears more than a passing resemblance to his creator) has a new Facebook page, facebook.com/Matt.Royal.Mystery.
Since joining Facebook Jan. 7, Royal has posted on everything from the weather to the latest island gossip to his latest outings. But some things remain a mystery to us. Take this post, for example:
" … It moved on up to the late 80s by late afternoon. Not bad for January. Didn't get any fishing in, but did have breakfast at Blue Dolphin and a few Miller Lites at Tiny's to end the day … "
So we ask Matt Royal: Where is this Tiny's of which you write?
We thought that last call was March 31, 2010 …

Developer: WayForward Technologies

ESRB Rating: E10+ (Everyone 10+)
Score: A- (90%)
In the Nameless Kingdom, there's a huge shop early on that "sells" nothing but the clay vases Finn been smashing to bits in that first dungeon you went through that opens the game. Finn can't actually BUY a vase at all as far as I can tell. He can only lift one up to carry around and eventually try to leave with it. Or he can smash as many as he can with a weapon or just throw that lifted vase to the ground, breaking it. The only thing that happens when he does any of those things is an alarm goes off and a timer starts ticking down. Fifteen seconds later, a guard from the castle grabs Finn and then he's outside the shop. When you go back inside, the clerk/owner scolds you a little and that's that. Well, that is until later in the game when you discover a way to really get that guy's attention by busting every jar at once. Such is the weird world of Adventure Time.
But that one event and its oddball randomness yet familiar to the show sameness is neither here nor there. The third time's the charm (and how!) for WayForward Technologies with Adventure Time: The Secret of the Nameless Kingdom being the best of the three games they've made to date with Finn and company. This latest title is clearly influenced by Nintendo's older games in The Legend of Zelda franchise to the point that it feels like a really spectacular mod that happens to be Adventure Time related. It's also a surprisingly tough game, or not so surprisingly tough if you're well versed in how this style of game should be played. There's no hand-holding here, you learn what needs to be done by observing the environment and enemies while paying attention to (and using) what's in your inventory. You'll very likely get stuck in spots, but the game has enough hidden stuff and offbeat side quests that make up for the vagueness it often bashes you on the head with…

Have Your Fish and Freezer Meal, Too
Freezer Friendly from Jessica Fisher
A few years ago when I was putting the finishing touches on my freezer cookbook my editor called to say he wanted fish dishes included. Say what?! Up until that point, I never considered including fish or seafood in freezer meals. Those are such delicate proteins; I didn't want to mess with overcooking them at reheat and end up with chewy, tough fish.
But, I took his challenge. And I avoided the fish jerky, too.

Recipe: Fresh Clam Chowder
Recipes from The Kitchn
During a long and lazy sea-side vacation, you get to know your preferences for things like clam chowder. During the trip I'm on now to Northern California, the aha moment came when I drilled down into my chowder-eating soul and realized that there are two things I don't like about the usual bowl: its gloppy texture, and its chewy, overcooked shell-less nuggets of clam meat. The gloppy texture tells me there's flour in there unnecessarily weighing down the rest of the ingredients. And without a shell, the clams not only disappear into the thick marshy broth, they also raise suspicions of coming from a can.
Here's an alternative: a flour-less, fresh clam chowder.

I am tired of hearing about the General´s honorable service to the nation during his military career...What about the men and women who have died under the VA´s criminal care? They served too. Do they not count as much as a General? It seems the General deserves all the flowery speeches and the lowly vets get the death panel ruling treatment.

Look we all know some vet who was treated poorly but the VA. The VA gave postal service quality healthcare, that was known. What made this a truly repulsive scandal is the falsifying of the wait lists by bureaucrats (all Democrats) for political (to make obama look good) and personal gain. To receive a bonus and take that blood money knowing what was going on is despicable. Just another example as to why we need to get rid of Federal unions.

Wait. I´d rather not condemn the entire VA healthcare system, because I know most of it to be caring, innovative and successful. The bureaucrats/pencil-pushers/full-time union workers are primarily to blame for the scheduling coverups and subsequent treatment delays. I heard a retired general yesterday on Fox saying that most vets prefer getting treatment at the VA centers, where the medical staff is familiar with problems unique to the military. Let´s fix the problems, which are systemic, but there are babies in that bathwater, my friends.

The fact that hospitals all over the country were able to pass off wildly inaccurate numbers without the VA headquarters catching on suggests not only a basic failure in the oversight process, but a broken relationship between top leaders and subordinates.My take on this is that the VA Headquarters in DC knew about the lists and maybe even instigated in creating them. The Lists problem was/is mammoth and not isolated at all. It´s totally inconceivable that the VA was blind to what was occurring?

I am a Vietnam vet, and it took me 2 years to get to 30% disability and I now have to fight for every increase as my diabetes effects increase. I applied in April of 2012, and got my check yesterday for the "back pay".The workers at Sepulveda and West LA are super, most are vets, and they treat me right. It´s the system that´s bad, not the folks. It took them over a year to replace the camera system for IDs.Any out of work vet should apply as they are horribly understaffed. I am going to meet with the IT folks in West LA this week, and see if I can get some part time work.I posted this to show it´s not just the "new" vets having issues. Heck I didn´t even know I qualified for anything til 2012 and I got out in ´76.

Today´s military in not what it used to be. Where are the Eisenhower´s, Patton´s, Lemay´s, Bradley´s, McAuther´s and the rest of that group. Those men were real warriors. And remember, the military´s job is to kill people and break things. I know that there are a gazillion things that go into it, but that is the bottom line. What it is NOT is a social experiment breeding ground, which is has partly become. We now have generals that are more politician than they are warrior. We are supposed to have CIVILIAN politicians to oversee the military, but not to run it. Shinseki is just one of those that made the conscious decision to become a politician rather than to be the warrior he once was. As head of the VA, he could have taken hold and made huge changes if he wanted to. But he fell into the mud hold of wanting to cover Obozo´s rear end. And I´m not going to sit here and believe that all of the corruption taking place with the scheduling of appointments wasn´t known at the higher up echelons. Someone up there knew.

A little known fact is that the Medicare fraud division extorts huge sums of money from hospitals and providers routinely, not by using the Medicare fraud statutes, but rather an 1865 fraud statute signed into law by Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War.That law requires only three elements to prove federal fraud: the person or entity billed and was paid by the Feds, the bill was inaccurate and/or incomplete, and the infraction occurred more than once. A fine can be levied for each instance.Obviously, anyone doing any amount of business with Medicare will eventually be guilty, if only by innocent error. The feds tally up the fines, threaten prosecution, and settle for a fraction.Now, if Shinseki wanted to stop the VA waiting list gaming, all he had to do was use that federal fraud act to prosecute one prominent individual, and the practice would stop immediately. But he didn't.So let's not shed too many tears for him, despite his service record.

And it´s Tommy this and Tommy that and Tommy go awayBut it´s thank you Mr Atkins when the band begins to play....But it´s Tommy this and Tommy that and anything you pleaseBut Tommy ain´t no damn fool, you bet that Tommy sees....And it will NEVER change, NEVER. Do you see why the asinine, "thank you for your service," makes us vets throw up in our mouths? Stop saying that meaningless nonsense when vets have been dying while waiting for the promised medical care for DECADES. That´s right, DECADES.

Most rational people judge another person´s intentions by what that person DOES, not by what that person SAYS. Talk is cheap. This Administration, especially POTUS, talks a lot about supporting Veterans, but shows its true negative intentions by the criminally negligent manner in which it provides health care to the special group of men and women who have earned their right to the care by the sacrifices in blood that they have made. Like gone2pot points out with his Rudyard Kipling quotes, this sort of two-faced BS goes back to the British Army, the Roman Legions, and to any society that only sees its military as a useful tool in times of danger. When I came back from RVN, my brothers (vast majority were men) received nothing by vilification. Today progressives make a phony show of thanking these wonderful warriors, but demonstrate their real feelings by the subtle but negative comments about our troops and their mental health or alleged propensity for violence, or claimed financial irresponsibility. Kipling pointed out that "Tommy" saw through the facade. GI Joe does too. There will be a reckoning. See you at the voting booth in November.

How in the world did he reach the rank of four star general, with his level of performance at the VA? That is quite a feat and he just could not measure up, here, in this role? Right-got it! There have been other four star generals in American history who excelled at other tasks after their war, so something is amiss here, doesnot add up. There did not seemto be any emotion in this man, not even a smidgen-certainly no passion.

They all knew in 2007 !Union bonuses for falsifying records and can´t fire them.Budget increases phenomenal 153.8 BILLION ! ! !There must be a Fed CRIMINAL investigation WITHOUT Holder and Obama. The crime: criminally negligent homicide, involuntary manslaughter, conspiracy, fraud,Obstruction of justice by intimidation of whistleblowers, larceny, creating false records, lawlessness, corruption.This is a disgrace on our nation and an IMPEACHABLEOFFENSE that equals and tops Benghazi, IRS, NSA, AP wiretapping, Fast and Furious, and the Massive smuggling of thirty million Catholic driven alien invaders.

I agree with most of the negative comments posted here except about patient care. I was a volunteer at the Detroit VA Hospital for a year or so in 1995 and the care was excellent. However, getting inside the door and appointments was something else. Alot of red tape there as I recall. Wasn´t any union then as I remember either.

Makeup Wars – Beauty Diary: A Day In The Life of a Beauty Blogger
When you want to lose weight, nutritionists suggest starting a food diary to track everything that goes in your mouth each day. It's usually quite surprising when you think of every taste, snack and sip outside of your main meals.
As fellow beauty lovers, have you ever thought of tracking all the potions, lotions, and products you use in one day, from morning til night? That's the task for this week's Makeup Wars and well, as if I didn't already feel like a product junkie, this made it even more apparent. See everything it takes to get me through just one typical day.

Travel Beauty Essentials – Makeup, Hair and Body Products for Your Next Trip
When it comes to travel, I'm not what you would call a "light packer." In fact, I bring a travel scale to make sure my bag doesn't go over the weight limit when flying. I just figure, if the airline allows you 50 pounds, may as well be prepared.
However, when it comes to packing my beauty products, I pretty much have that process streamlined. I always have my travel beauty kit, with the exception of my makeup bag, stowed in my carry-on, ready for the next getaway.
As you may recall, I went on a cruise in January so today, as I open up my kit to share my Travel Beauty Essentials, I'm using pics from the ship and our stops in Cozumel, Honduras and Belize as the backdrop.

Makeup Wars – Blogger-Enabled Beauty Buys
I've been involved in the world of beauty blogging for longer than the 7+ years I've been writing All Lacquered Up. I started reading beauty blogs when I was an active member of Makeup Alley and 9 times out of 10, I still opt for reading blogs over books or magazines.
So, narrowing down the products to feature in this week's Makeup Wars topic, Blogger Recommendations, was a challenge, to say the least. Um, what don't I use that I haven't read about on a blog? To keep this from becoming a book, I chose the products that I use on the regular that were enabled by some of my fave beauty/nail bloggers.

Makeup Wars – My Favorite DIY Nail Art Tutorials
Confession: I'm not a DIY sort of gal. For instance, we specifically bought our house because we didn't have to change a thing, besides a few paint colors. And any improvements we've made have been done by pros. I see friends reupholstering chairs in funky fabrics, stenciling their walls or jazzing up thrift store pieces with rivets, buttons, sequins, etc and I don't have the slightest desire to do that.
For those reasons and more, when I heard this week's Makeup Wars theme, DIY Beauty, I was hesitant. Yes, I dabble in nail art but it's not my forte. I just don't have the crafter gene. However, there are a couple nail art techniques I simply adore so I'm sharing them with you in hopes that if my non-Martha Stewart self can attempt them, so can you!

Makeup Wars – My Beauty Resolutions for 2014
My theme for 2014 is all about getting back on track. 2013 was kind of crazy for me. There were some major highs and devastating lows that threw things out of whack. And while one of the high points was getting back into the game with my blog, which quietly turned 7 last week, I want to take things to the next level in 2014.
I have set some attainable and logical goals for myself in the beauty, blogging and health realm, which fits in with this week's Makeup Wars theme, 2014 Resolutions. Previously, I gave you some ideas for Nail Resolutions, now it's time to share what my goals are for the coming year.

Dollar reserves cost Japan and China
With the US trade deficit recently widening to an 18-month high, the issue of global imbalances is back at the forefront of the international economic agenda. Yet whereas the impact of exchange rates on trade flows has been much debated, hardly ever discussed are the costs countries bear, particularly in Asia, for the excess foreign exchange reserves they carry as a counterpart to their persistent trade surpluses.

I Love You Lyrics - Esthero
Review The Song (1)
I love you...... I love you, now I know.
You said good-bye..... but I can't let you go
And I need you...... I need you in my life.
And if you go I'll be so blue,
because I know that you love me too.
And could you really sleep at night
if I wasn't by your side?
How could your body keep warm
until the return of daylight?
I love you...... and I've never been more sure.
And there aint nothing you can do to change my mind.
I am ready to be yours.
There might have been a face before..... but it was never as beautiful as yours.
I want to see it every morning when I rise,
and every night, oh I........ I love you.
I love you, I love you, I love you now I know.
You said good-bye... but I cannot, I will not let you go.
And I need you, I need you, I need you in my life.
And if you go I'll be so blue....
Because I know, because I know.... that you love me
you love me, you love me too, you love me...... la la la......
I don't wanna love you..... but I can't help lovin' you.

"Grey's Anatomy" recap (10.21): Lemon Heart
In a small room, Frankie and Brayden's moms talk about their seriously ill children. Both women feel helpless, and Frankie's mom starts to wonder aloud if the doctors really know best. Stephanie overhears them since she is waiting for Brayden's mom sign off on his treatment. His mother hesitates.
In Frankie's OR, Arizona and Alex find ways to compliment Cristina left and right in an attempt to make her feel better. You'd think they know her well enough to know that this would result in the exact opposite. Frankie's new heart isn't pumping, so they get UNOS on the line. There's another heart in Portland. While this may sounds like good news, Cristina throws a scalpel to the floor and orders Shane to keep Frankie on bypass until it arrives.
Back at Catherine's office, Richard can't help himself from asking her about Cristina's loss. He's convinced she should have won and the only reason for not winning would have been a major error…which there wasn't. Catherine's face lets us all know that there is more to the story than she is letting on.
Meredith finds a very frustrated Cristina, and reassures her that she is in her friend's corner, ready to battle any assholes that come their way. Cristina doesn't have time to talk though because now Ivy's stats are falling and her heart is officially failing.
Meredith and Derek finally have their surgery date, but all Meredith can do is talk about Cristina. Jackson makes the mistake of popping his head in to ask her questions about her portal vein project. Derek whispers to Meredith about the Avery plan to cut funding to some projects, and she threatens to slash ALL THE TIRES if her even thinks about cutting her research. Jackson scoots back out, a little frightened. Thanks for ruining the MerDer date, Jackson.
Also ruining things is Jackson's better half April. She keeps rehashing her fight with Jackson in the OR to Callie, Owen and Jo. Callie is so over April that she finds an excuse to get the hell out of there, taking Jo with her.
Brayden's parents are arguing because his mother, who is now hysterical, doesn't want Bailey to go ahead with the procedure. Steph, wearing a Contagion-style suit, goes to take Brayden's blood, but it stopped by his mother. She announces that they have changed their minds.
Arizona and Alex are charged with bringing the donor heart back from Portland. They sit together on a plane, which already makes me nervous. Arizona reminisces about how the first time they met was on a plane run like this. Alex interrupts to tell her that he's thought about his decision very hard, and he already stayed once for her when she needed him to. He needs to think about himself for a change.
Leah and Ross are left to monitor Frankie until the new heart arrives. Her current heart springs a leak however, and she begins to bleed. They track Cristina down in Ivy's room. She's there measuring Ivy for her own heart transplant. Ivy's father is in the room when Shane and Leah call in. When Shane fills Cristina in on Frankie's condition, he refers to the Triad of Death. Nice Shane, nice. Cristina walks them through, and Shane hands off the procedure to Leah. She successfully stops the bleed. Cristina assures her father that both girls will be fine.
Richard won't let up about Cristina and finally Catherine questions his naiveté. She admits that Cristina could have never won the award. The Avery Foundation has a financial stake in the hospital and it would have been a conflict of interest. Well, that is a real pisser. Would have been nice to know that earlier, eh?
Yang rushes back to Frankie's OR. The donor heart they received was a real lemon, and now she's worse off than before. Alex and Arizona successfully remove the donor heart and prep it to travel. Alex still thinks that Arizona brought him along to talk him out of the job offer but that is not the case. She wanted to share one last big memory with him. She allowed herself to be sentimental and he ruined the moment. He's mighty relieved and cheerfully tells her that he still has hospital privileges, but a moment ruined is a moment ruined.
Owen is left with April in the OR. Cross Country's journey has got her thinking about commitment and she starts weeping about her fight with Jackson. She's worried that this fight was "the fight" and they will never get past it. Owen assures her that they will live to fight again.
Jackson is bored out of his mind while Bailey explains her genome project. He doesn't care if this could be the greatest medical discovery of the 21st century, he needs to see results now. Way to be a dick, Jackson. I'm a lesbian blogger and even I know that medical research takes time. Bailey assures him that they are about to put it into action, but they Steph comes to the door with bad news.

Prague Airport
The Prague International Airport is proudly the largest and busiest airport in Central and Eastern Europe, serving over 10 million passengers a year since 2005. Just like the city and the whole region, the airport is developing and expanding constantly, and travellers can expect more flights and connections in the near future. For more detailed information, please see our main Prague Airport page.
No problems here at all - though the airport seems a little small for the number of passengers it is trying to handle. Cafes are very expensive!

A starter kit and PDF tutorial that demonstrates and explains how to load, parse and play multi-instrument MIDI files in iOS, and how to create a real-time animation based on the MIDI notes.
The iPhone and iPad come with a very powerful audio library in the form of CoreAudio. It's fully featured, extremely flexible and consistently written. With a good knowledge of CoreAudio, you can make your audio processing dreams come true.
So you've read Apple's blurb and you're excited, time to crack open CoreAudio and find out that CoreAudio is written in C, it doesn't use object orientation and there's almost no documentation. It's also closed source and very unforgiving for the uninitiated.
This component is an objective-C library that wraps around CoreAudio and includes a comprehensive PDF guide of how to work with it to create MIDI based iOS apps.
Loading and parsing a MIDI file using CoreMidi: I'll show you how to load a MIDI file using CoreMidi and then access the MIDI events (Note, Tempo, Time Signature, etc...) individually. This puts you in full control and gives you access to all the information the file contains. I also clearly explain how the MIDI file fits together and what the important MIDI messages mean.
Lots of background information: In the tutorial I don't just explain how the example project works. I also give lots of background information and useful tips when processing MIDI files. I explain: bitwise operations, hex and binary, General Midi, how the percussion track work and much more! In fact the guide alone is over 5000 words long!
Writing a fully functional MIDI player: Step by step, I'll explain how to interpret the sequence of messages you retrieved from the MIDI file. The MIDI player uses multi-threading to play the sequence of MIDI messages in real-time. The MIDI clock class ensures that the MIDI file plays smoothly at the correct tempo. The MIDI player provides easy to use callback functions which give you access to all MIDI events in real-time. If you need events which I've aren't included it's easy to extend the framework to support all existing MIDI messages.
Audio Manager provides multi-timbral playback: CoreAudio on the iPhone only comes with a mono-timbral sampler. This means that you can only play your MIDI notes using one instrument sound. The Audio Manager which is included in the tutorial makes it easy to play your MIDI file using up to 10 instruments using a custom SoundFont. I show step by step how to setup a complex audio graph. I'll also show you how to set up the instruments based on information provided in the MIDI file. Doing this provides a rich sound as demonstrated in the video.
Putting it all together: In the final part of the tutorial I'll show how you can put all this together to create a rich MIDI based animation. The animation visualizes the notes as circles traveling from left to right across the screen. The vertical position of the circle depends on the value of the note. Notes pulse based on the metronome beat. Sharps and flats are circles with a random fill. This is a simple example but it could easily provide the basis of a cool game or MIDI playing app.
More than just a tutorial: The sample project, provided with the tutorial, provides a solid framework for your CoreMidi iOS project. The license allows you to use the framework in any number of your own projects. You can use this project as a learning exercise to learn CoreAudio and CoreMidi or base your whole project on the code.
This tutorial took me well over 100 hours to research and write. The information contained in this project just isn't available on the internet. If you're planning to write an app based on CoreMidi it's guaranteed to save you a substantial amount of time.

Hi Ben, With your midi animation starter kit is it possible to have a palette of midi instruments to pick from and then make MusicSequence objects to comprise MusicTrack objects? I am looking for a way to make midi music by selecting music elements and appending them together to make a nice sounding track. How many voices would one have access to? If not in your lib where would one buy a library of midi voices to pick from? Thanks, Joe
Hi Joe, The current kit has a number of different voices - it uses a general MIDI SoundFont so it has over 100 instruments. Currently each instrument has to have it's own AUSampler because, so far Apple hasn't made their DLSSynth AudioUnit available on iOS. It would require a fair amount of extra work to do what you're trying to do but this kit would provide a solid foundation. Thanks, Ben
Hi Joe, At some point I may convert the library to SWIFT - but not until iOS 8 comes out in September. I've been wanting to add some new features to this component for a while so that may be a good time to upgrade it to SWIFT. Cheers, Ben
Hi Ben, how to obtain the MIDI file Key Signature by using Midi Animation Starter Kit for iOS? Any example or tutorial? Many thanks Kenis
Hi Kenis, You need to use the tempo event. That will give you the time signature denominator and numerator values. There are more details here: http://www.deluge.co/?q=midi-tempo-bpm Thanks, Ben
Hi Ben, there's a short question about the note duration. for (BMidiEvent * event in sequence.getSequence) { switch (event.eventType) { case Note: { BMidiNote * note = (BMidiNote *) event; NoteBase *noteBase = [MidiNumberNote instance][[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i",note.note]]; NSLog(@"Channel: %i, note: %i, start time: %i, duration: %i", note.channel, note.note, note.getStartTime, note.getDuration ); then I got the below result: ...... PPNQ: 256 Tempo, BPM=0.000000, PPNQ=256, 32ndNotesPerBeat=0 ...... Channel: 0, note: 71, start time: 11008, duration: 256 Channel: 0, note: 73, start time: 11264, duration: 512 So the duration : 256 and 512, does it means 256 millisecond and 512 millisecond? and each Quarter Note is 256 milliseconds (cause PPQN = 256) please correct me if i am wrong. Many thanks Kenis
Hi Kenis, The duration is given in pulses. There's a better explanation in the PDF tutorial that comes with the starter kit. Basically, The PPNQ is pulses per quarter note. The BPM is beats per minute. If the music is has a time signature denominator of 4 then a beat is the same as a quarter note. Pulse length = 60/(BPM * PPNQ) A duration of 256 pulses would be 1 quarter note which would be a 1 second duration at 60 BPM. I hope this helps, Ben

Monday, Oct. 8
Boston at Los Angeles (9:37 p.m. EDT, if necessary). The Angels look to face Josh Beckett in Game 4.
-Jeff Baker, Rockies, hit a pinch-hit, tiebreaking single with two outs in the eighth inning to lead Colorado to a 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies and complete a three-game sweep.
the young Diamondbacks are headed to the NL championship series for the second time in the franchise's 10-year history. The previous time they made it this far they went all the way, beating the New York Yankees in the 2001 World Series.
99 plus
After the Cubs' 5-1 loss to the Diamondbacks on Saturday night, it's 99 years and counting since their last World Series title. Even a return to Wrigley Field and its raucous fans couldn't get Chicago's bats out of a series-long slumber. Chicago went from worst-to-first in Piniella's first season as manager, and the team's long-suffering fans were ecstatic after a late surge to the NL Central title. But just when they started to get excited about ending the drought, the Cubs went down in a first-round sweep.
Jake and Joey Coolbaugh, the young sons of Colorado Rockies minor league coach Mike Coolbaugh, who was killed by a line drive on July 22, trotted out to the mound with their uncle, Scott Coolbaugh before the Rockies' 2-1 win on Saturday night, and bounced their pitches in front of home plate. The crowd gave them as much applause as when the Rockies took the field. Mike Coolbaugh's Tulsa Drillers jersey was hung in the Rockies' dugout. Earlier this week, Rockies players voted to give a full playoff share to the family.
Philadelphia's Jamie Moyer allowed just one run and five hits in six innings in a 2-1 loss to the Rockies on Saturday night.
``How about that? Nobody expected the Diamondbacks and Rockies to be in the National League championship this year. But here we are.'' - Colorado rookie Troy Tulowitzki, after the Rockies completed a three-game sweep of the Phillies with a 2-1 win on Saturday night.
Oct. 8
1908 - The Chicago Cubs won the NL pennant when Mordecai Brown beat Christy Mathewson 4-2 in the playoff of the disputed game Sept. 23 when Fred Merkle failed to touch second base.
1929 - Howard Ehmke, a surprise starter for the Philadelphia Athletics, struck out 13 Chicago Cubs to win the opening game of the World Series 3-1.
1956 - Don Larsen of the New York Yankees pitched the only perfect game in World Series history for a 2-0 triumph over the Brooklyn Dodgers. Sal Maglie, the opposing pitcher, gave up five hits.
1961 - The Yankees' Whitey Ford set a World Series record for consecutive scoreless innings by extending his streak to 32 innings in a 7-0 triumph over the Cincinnati Reds in Game 4.
1973 - Rusty Staub's two home runs powered the New York Mets to a 9-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds and a 2-1 lead in the NLCS. Pete Rose of the Reds and Bud Harrelson of the Mets scuffled at second base in the fifth inning after Rose slid hard into the base.
1986 - Mike Scott equaled a playoff record with 14 strikeouts and threw a five-hitter as the Houston Astros defeated the New York Mets 1-0 in the first game of the NLCS. Glenn Davis opened the second inning with a home run off Dwight Gooden.
2000 - Bobby J. Jones pitched the sixth complete game one-hitter in postseason history as the Mets eliminated the Giants with a 4-0 win in Game 4 of their NL division series. It was the first one-hit shutout in the postseason since Boston's Jim Lonborg beat St. Louis in the 1967 World Series.
Today's birthday: Olmedo Saenz 37.

Zacuto Announces Foldable Video DSLR Support Rigs
Zacuto Announces Foldable Video DSLR Support Rigs
From Zacuto:
Zacuto has two new DSLR rigs on the market and ready to ship! These DSLR rigs are foldable, compact and small enough to fit into a back pocket.
The Enforcer and Marauder are first of its kind; foldable DSLR run'n'gun stability rigs that are compatible with any DSLR or midsized camera. Both of these rigs are small enough to fold up and place in a back pocket or cargo shorts but when unfolded creates a stable camera support. These new rigs are very similar to two popular Zacuto DSLR kits, the Target Shooter and Striker. While the Target Shooter and Striker rigs are made up of various parts and rods that can be reconfigured into new setups, the Enforcer and Marauder unfold instantly and are ready to shoot.
"The Marauder is quite possibly the most gorgeous and practical DSLR rig I have ever seen," says Philip Bloom, Director/DP/Filmmaker. "The moment I unfolded it, put my camera on and pushed it against my shoulder I knew there was no way I could use any other rig for my DSLR."
The Marauder rig, the larger of the two, includes both a gunstock and an adjustable handgrip to create a small stable structure. The Marauder includes a Zacuto Gorilla Plate V2 as the platform for the camera. The camera attaches to the plate with the single ¼ 20 screw and can also quick release on and off the Marauder with the red quick release ratcheting lever. The Gorilla Plate can be attached at two different points; in a vertical position for use with a Zacuto Z-Finder, DSLR optical viewfinder, or extended via the red push lever to place the camera further away for use without a Z-Finder.
The difference between the Marauder and the Enforcer is that the Enforcer only includes a gunstock with a comfortable rubber pad. To adjust the gunstock to different body shapes and sizes, just adjust the position of the gunstock with the two Allen screws and it's ready to use.

|Autism rights movement
Neurotypical or NT, an abbreviation of neurologically typical, is a term coined in the autistic community as a label for people who are not on the autism spectrum.[1] However, the term eventually became used for anyone who does not have atypical neurology: in other words, anyone who does not have autism, dyslexia, developmental coordination disorder, bipolar disorder, ADD/ADHD, or other similar conditions. The term has been replaced by some with "allistic", or "nypical" [2]which has the same meaning as "neurotypical" did originally.[3] The concept was later adopted by both the neurodiversity movement and the scientific community.[4][5][6]
In the United Kingdom, the National Autistic Society recommends the use of the term in its advice to journalists.[7]
