Soup with the Simons: Red wine vegetable
By Tali Simon | February 6, 2014
It's been a long time (a really long time) since I used soup mix in my cooking. And yet, there's half a bag of the stuff in my cabinet. What if I need it one day for something? That might happen, right? …Someone tell me to throw out the chemicals, please.
The best thing I've learned through my no-soup-mix experiments so far is that water is often a perfectly fine soup base. Vegetables, grains, and legumes have great natural flavors, and when they're combined well and seasoned well, you can totally get away with not having stock on hand. Homemade stock has been on my to-do list practically since the day we got married, but I never get around to actually trying it. And that's because I've made so many great soups without it.
Like this one. Sweet red wine and paprika take a handful of pretty ordinary vegetables to new levels of greatness. Seriously, this soup has a broth so rich in flavor and color that it feels like a special occasion dish even though it's "just" a vegetable soup. It could be Shabbos soup, My In-Laws Are Coming soup, Congratulations on Your Promotion soup. Or just Glad I Didn't Use Soup Mix soup.
- One year ago: Ginger spice sticks with lemon glaze
- Two years ago: Salt and pepper noodle kugel
Adapted from Soup: A Kosher Collection
Yield: 8 servings
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 onions, chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 3 small red potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 6 cloves garlic, crushed
- 3 Tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- Sprinkle black pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 cup sweet red wine
- ½ cup + 3 Tbsp tomato paste
- 4 tomatoes, peeled, cored, seeded, and diced
- 5 cups water
- 2 cups frozen green beans (pre-cut, if you like)
1. Heat the oil in a large soup pot. Saute the onions over low heat for 5 minutes. Add the carrots, potatoes, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, bay leaves, and sugar. Cook another 2 minutes.
2. Add the wine and raise the heat to medium. Cook for 5 minutes to give the alcohol a chance to cook off.
3. Add tomato paste, tomatoes, and water. Stir well and bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 25 minutes. Add the green beans and continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and serve.

If Dudley were elected Governor of Oregon, would he take the path of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Governor of California?
Arnold sold himself as a conservative, yet he turned out to be more of a RINO.
Chris needs to decide where he stands on all the issues NOW, not in November. The public deserves knowing what they will get before the election, not nine months into his governorship.

Read my posts. You're the one doing the nibbling. I haven't seen anything of yours until now.
So, who looks like an idiot?
You realize that OHSU is publicly funded?
With that logic, then the government is greedy and doesn't care about healthcare.
Then go gather four of your comrades and pay her insurance!!

Leaches have a place on this Earth also. Their problem is, they're stuck going where the host takes them. If that isn't "soul-deadening", I don't know what is.
I'd like to go golfing 9 to 5, but I stink at it. Found out real fast that the only way to survive was to get a real job. Now I only stink at golf 2 days a week.
Tere, needs to understand that her passion for the arts is commendable, but, should be viewed more as a hobby than a vocation.
I agree with you.
Except, it should be all Public Employee Unions. There's an inherent "conflict of interest" when your government employed boss is negotiating terms of a contract for both the government and the union that represents him.
"Public Service", means just that. Not, "the public in servitude."
Ronald Reagan had it spot on when he fired the Air Traffic Controllers so many years ago.
There isn't anyone more knowledgeable about how to establish a disability claim for "Stress", than the head of the Police Union.
Anyone want to start a betting pool on when Westerman's disability claim is filed?
"For days, the incident was a national embarrassment for TriMet."
TriMet's been an embarrassment for a lot longer than days.
Unfortunately, the child could have fallen "Under the Bus", and the Union would still demand the drivers reinstatement.
So........Did they get an "F" for the first days training?

Not to worry.......The millions lost by Columbia Sportswear and Nike is nothing compared to the losses they face from the recent corporate tax increases.
Look for Columbia and Nike to be leaving Oregon soon for a state that doesn't tax them out of business.
Arthur Graham of M. Graham & Co. states; "You have to turn around at some point and say, what's good for the soul of the world, not just for me?"
Well Mr. Graham, if you're feeling so guilty about being "affluent", nothing is stopping you from writing a big fat check from your business profits. The State will take free money any time you would like to send it their way. Just don't expect the rest of us to climb aboard your "Soul" train.
Income and business taxes are not the only source of funding for the State. Add in Fuel taxes, user fee's, selective Sales taxes (liquor and tobacco), and other miscellaneous taxes, you'll get a better picture of the gluttony of this State we call Oregon.
Reductions in spending, and a focus on what is considered essential services, is the only answer to the State's funding woe's.
fred ....
Who funds those that make up the global warming alarmists?
Government grants. Money that those left-wing organizations will say anything to protect.
However...Facts are facts, regardless if you like the author or not.

You requested reading material. A good start would be "Climate of Extremes" by Patrick Michaels and Robert Balling Jr.
For a more recent article written by Christopher Monckton that debunks the "computer modeling" that Al Gore and others rely on go to:
This study conducted by M.I.T. is based on actual measurements, not flawed computer models. It's rather lengthy with it's 30 pages of graphs and scientific data. I understand that it's written in language hard for Al Gorians to understand, but maybe by next summer you'll have deciphered it.
So......What did she do? Was she abducted, ran-away, commit a crime?

-- Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry have recorded an updated version of their band's classic song "Dream On" for a TV special paying tribute to the victims of the bombings at last year's Boston Marathon. The two rockers teamed up with the Southern California Children's Chorus for a unique live performance of the tune that will be featured on Dream On: Stories from Boston's Strongest, which will premiere Saturday on ABC at 4 p.m. ET.
The hour-long program, which is the spring 2014 premiere episode of ESPN's E:60 news magazine series, will focus include five profiles of people who survived the bombings. The show is hosted by ABC News journalist Bob Woodruff and narrated by New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
Three people lost their lives and more than 260 others were injured after a pair of bombs exploded near the finish line of last year's marathon.
In a clip of a video interview with the Aerosmith stars posted on ESPN's YouTube channel, Tyler explains why he feels "Dream On" is a special song for Boston following the 2013 tragedy. "'Sing with me, sing for the years, sing for the laughter, sing for the tears' -- it's almost like it was written for this unfortunate event," says the frontman.
Adds Perry, "It's one of those rare songs [that] can apply to a lot of different things. You can interpret it how you want, which is really the magic of music…It can apply to something very personal and small or…a big event like what happened in Boston."

Hi! My name is Ale Contenti. I'm a developer on the Visual C++ Libraries Team. I work on the CRT (C Run Time, i.e. strcpy() and printf(), like I always explain to my friends), SCL (Standard C++ Library, i.e. STL and streams), ATL and MFC. I also happen to work for Martyn, which blogged here a few weeks ago.
So, if you read Martyn's post, you already know what the Libraries Team is going to work on during Orcas. One of the area's that I'm working on is STL/CLR. We're making good progress on this, too! You can finally put your hands on a pre-release of STL/CLR in the next available CTP (it should be online in August). You can also find some cool postings on STL/CLR on Nikola's blog.
Ok, but what do I really do? During last product cycle I worked a lot on the Secure Libraries (i.e. strcpy_s() and checked iterators). During Orcas, I've been working on STL/CLR performance investigations for the last month or so.
STL/CLR is pretty cool. It is developed by Dinkumware. Here in VC++ we analyze and test the drops they give us, and we open bugs and give feedback on the design of some parts of the library. Recently, we've been focusing on improving the performance of some key scenarios.
We decided to compare STL/CLR perf against two other libraries:
Notice that it's pretty easy to compare STL and STL/CLR, because they are based on the same (simplified) principles:
An important difference, though, is that STL is native code
On the other side, STL/CLR is a managed library, written entirely in C++/CLI, and all STL/CLR is verifiable code
The result of our investigation is that STL/CLR is slower than STL most of the time. The advantage of native code, especially in code like this, is still pretty high. But STL/CLR is not order of magnitude slower… we're still doing pretty well overall.
Comparing against BCL is more important for STL/CLR, since they both can store the same managed types. Some of the characteristics of BCL are:
All the operations that STL/CLR usually implements separately as algorithms (like sort) are implemented as member functions of the BCL collections themselves. This gives the BCL collections a perf advantage, since their sort method knows about the internal implementation of the collection. On the other side, STL/CLR containers and algorithms are more versatile, and this gives STL/CLR an advantage when, for example, you need to sort with a custom operator<.
In our tests, we've seen this pattern: STL/CLR is more or less on par with BCL, and can be a little faster than BCL in some scenarios.
Notice that this performance work is not yet done! The STL/CLR you will see in the August CTP has some good overall performance, but it's still an early preview! And it's important you try it out and tell us what scenario you care about most, how do you want to use it, etc. so that we can beef up our perf tests even more!
Let us know! And thanks again for all the feedback (not only on STL/CLR).
Next time I want to post some real code and some interesting things we found while playing around with this big C++/CLI templated library. Stay tuned! J
Ale Contenti
VC++ Libraries Team
Visual Studio 2005 ( no service pack applied...)
I have recompiled all my C++ release build with _SECURE_SCL=0. I am getting access violations when iterating on a std::set with a custom "Compare". I use various STL classes throughout my code and this access violation happens only on this std::set with the custom compare function ( and _SECURE_SCL=0)
The application passes QA with _SECURE_SCL=1 in both Debug and Release mode. I can almost be 100% sure all my code that uses this set class has _SECURE_SCL=0 defined as I wrap std::set in a thin layer in my own header where I can #error if _SECURE_SCL!=0
The above bug is exactly the same as mine. I'm using a library that's only available in 1 form. I'm not sure whether _SECURE_SCL is 0 or 1 in the library, is there any way to tell?
Either way, I'm getting internal errors in vectors, even those declared on the stack.

Enemy Territory: Quake WarsMay 16th, 2005 by TimeDoctor
id software is announcing a new game to be done in collaboration with (Enemy Territory and RTCW developer) Splash Damage, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. No word in the PR about release dates, cost, (Enemy Territory itself ended up free-as-in-beer) or Linux support. The PR does mention something previously unheard of, "MegaTexture" technology, and we would hope this is still OpenGL so as to be portable. There is a screenshot over at blues. Here is the view from the horse's mouth:
Santa Monica, CA – May 16, 2005 – id Software™ and Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) today announced the development of ENEMY TERRITORY: QUAKE WARS™. Developed by Splash Damage and built on id Software's new MegaTexture™ rendering technology, ENEMY TERRITORY: QUAKE WARS pits the armies of Earth against the invading alien Strogg in the ultimate online strategic shooter. Featuring strategic team play, persistent character promotions, day and nighttime combat missions, and the universe's most powerful weapons and vehicles, ENEMY TERRITORY: QUAKE WARS transports players to the front lines of an epic new war for Earth.
"For years, fans have enjoyed incredible battles on the Strogg home planet; but with ENEMY TERRITORY: QUAKE WARS, we're taking players back to the war that started it all – the Strogg invasion of Earth – where the choice is to fight with the humans or the alien Strogg in a massive campaign for survival," said Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id Software. "Like all great id Software games, ENEMY TERRITORY: QUAKE WARS unites bleeding-edge technology, a fantastic universe, and meticulously balanced gameplay to deliver an engrossing and futuristic gaming experience."
"We have been so proud of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory's™ rave reviews, 'Game of the Year' awards, and massive fan-base, so to work with id again in developing ENEMY TERRITORY: QUAKE WARS is an amazing opportunity." states Paul Wedgwood, Lead Game Designer and Owner of Splash Damage Ltd. "The stories of the Strogg invasion of Earth have always fascinated me, and now through ENEMY TERRITORY: QUAKE WARS, we're able to bring this incredible war to life with an uncompromising level of detail and realism."
As the invasion begins, players choose to battle as one of five unique classes in either the EDF (Earth Defense Force – humans) or the barbaric alien Strogg armies, each augmented with specialist weapons and combat hardware. Troops utilize over 40 conventional and futuristic vehicles, deployable structures, and defense systems like quad-bikes, tanks, and alien walkers for epic ground assaults; or helicopters and anti-gravity ships to lend firepower from the air. Throughout each battle, teams establish bases, deploy defense structures, artillery, radar, and advanced forward-command systems into enemy territory while constructing and demolishing obstacles to speed progress and gain a tactical advantage over the enemy.
With realistic dynamic lighting and shadowing from headlights, searchlights and even the moon, battles can be fought during the day or night; while accurate simulation of the atmosphere, weather, and vegetation combine to create an unparalleled degree of realism. Battlefields are perfectly rendered using MegaTexture, a totally new rendering technology developed by id Software that crunches millions of polygons and a gigabyte-scale texture into a single, seamless and un-tiled landscape with unique detail down to the square inch or the un-obscured distant horizon.
Players can take on class specific missions or join a fireteam to utilize advanced command and communication options, including voice-chat and the game's context sensitive mission order system. With bitterly contested multi-battle campaigns, each soldier fights not only for victory, but to gain valuable skills, special rewards for team-play, and persistent military promotions and medals. ENEMY TERRITORY: QUAKE WARS will debut at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo in Activision's booth #1224 in the South Hall.
Edit by Crusader – Monday May 16 19:10:31 2005 – Lightkey pointed out a comment at the Splash Damage website which states Quake Wars will be a "full game"; moreover, the venerable Maarten also noted that unlike Wolf ET, "this won't be a free download."Also of note: the Splash Damage update confirms that Quake Wars will be using a modified DOOM III engine.

Warp Drive Theory
Warp drive theory is a popular theory that physicists like to debate. So far, the ability to travel through space at warp drive is science fiction, confined to television shows such as Star Trek and not possible in real life. Nevertheless, physicists often enjoy exploring the possibility of traveling through space at warp drive and situations in which a warp drive speed would work.
Warp drive theories
Although the concept of warp drive is theoretical, theories about warp drive usually have a basis in science, such as physics. Warp drive theories generally involve a combination of superstring and multi-dimensional theory in which warp speed is possible provided that a huge supply of energy is available. Although the question of how to generate such a vast supply of energy has not been answered yet, the theory presupposes that scientists can generate enough energy to create a "bubble" in space. The spacecraft would travel in this bubble through space, with the extra dimensions in front of it being scientifically crushed and the dimensions behind it being expanded. According to these theories, it is not the futuristic spacecraft itself that is traveling faster than the speed of light, but instead the bubble that is traveling rapidly through space.
Warp drive realities
Scientists have not yet found a way to support travel through space at warp drive speed. The desire to attain this goal is great because realistic and practical space travel is not possible without the ability to travel faster than the speed of light. The distances across the universe are so great that the travel would either take too long or involve too much fuel to be practical if the speed could not be accelerated to warp drive or beyond. An obstacle to warp drive speed, however, lies in the radiation that would be produced if either a spacecraft or a "bubble" were to travel at such a high speed. Hawking radiation would be produced as horizons form at the front and rear of the bubble. This radiation would result in the death of any occupants of the spacecraft due to the extremely high temperatures generated with such speeds.
Although warp drive theories are interesting to contemplate and theorize as well as to read about in science fiction novels, science cannot yet translate these theories into reality. So, for the time being, do not count on traveling on a spacecraft like the Starship Enterprise.

Thai Delivery in Edmonton - does it happen?
I live in the North/central Edmonton area, and am wondering if any Thai restaurants actually deliver? I have a slight addiction issue to Panang Curry and cravings hit unexpectedly and hard. If anyone can help me out, I would be so grateful. Please keep in mind that I know many of the great Thai restaurants in our city, and am specifically looking for one that delivers.
check out dial and dine, they have a delivery service based on what area of the city you are in. they used to have a Thai option. http://www.dialanddine.ca/ as far as I know this is the only option though.
re: cleopatra999
Also depends on how far north you are, as none of the dial and dine places go that far out.
I'm in the same unfortunate northcentral boat as you and haven't found anything yet. Our best option is Saigon Paradise which is located in the strip mall at 137 Ave. and 97th Street. Aside from the no delivery, they are our takeout go-to preference and we have never been disappointed! If anyone responds positively to your post, I, too, will be most pleased. :)
re: KayceeK
Isn't that a Vietnamese place? There are lots of Viet places in the north side now. The OP is looking for Thai.
re: anonymoose
It is half thai and half vietnamese menu.

The Comeback
My official comeback journal - I'm keeping it simple, short and to the point. Feel free to comment/post ask any questions here. I won't be posting much elsewhere on the boards, so if you want me to see it - post it in this thread. Thanks!
About me:
I became a personal trainer in 1999. Throughout the years I've been certified by ACE, AFAA, ISSA and NASM. I currently hold NASM CPT, PES and CES as well as dotFIT nutrition cert. I earned a B.S. in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Nutrition and Wellness from CSU Hayward in 2004 and a M.S. in Exercise Physiology from CSU East Bay in 2007. I've been writing health and fitness articles for various publications and websites since 2001. I started off as an administrator/co-owner of ABCbodybuilding.com (under the handle "Yu Yevon") and wrote in-depth training, nutrition and supplementation articles for the Journal of Hyperplasia Research (JHR). In 2006 I became a staff writer for Livestrong and have written over 180 in-depth articles to date.
Today I am the Personal Training Director and Strength Coach at a athlete-oriented fitness facility in the California Bay Area with a staff of over a dozen expert trainers and coaches. I also help maintain a fitness blog. In the past, I have been known for my intense workouts (especially with high volume and shocking principles). I'd like to share some of them and my progress here in this journal. I've been out of bodybuilding for about 6-years and I'm testing the waters to see if I still have what it takes.
Here is my current workout split, although I keep it dynamic so I don't necessarily adhere to it exactly.
Mon - Chest/Triceps
Tues - Back/Biceps/Traps
Wed - Thighs/Calves
Thurs - Delts/Traps
Fri - Biceps/Triceps/Forearms
Sat - Rest (or lower body)
Sun - Rest
I typically train abs every third day mixed in with the rest of my routine. I look forward to logging my workouts and getting motivation from this community!
Here's my first entry:
Today I felt pretty good, even though my workout partner had to skip because he's sick. I trained Chest/Triceps. My right shoulder is still in a fair amount of pain (recovering from torn labrum), but it has been consistently feeling better and better.
A.M. Cardio - Stairmaster (45-minutes on Lvl. 7) - 685 calories
Afternoon Weights:
5-min warm up on the rower
Dumbbell Flat Bench Press - 5 sets (15/12/10/8/6). 2-3 second hold on the bottom of each rep.
Barbell Incline Bench Press with Medium Grip - 4 sets (12/10/8/6). Keep your elbows slightly forward to enable you to go deeper with the bar. My shoulder hurt so I couldn't go quite as deep as I would like.
Hammer Strength Single-Arm Incline Press - 4 sets (15/12/10/8). One arm at a time, make sure to get full extension each rep.
Standing High Pulley Cable Crossovers - 4 sets (12/10/8/6). Focus on the squeeze.
Barbell Seated Overhead Tricep Extensions superset with Standing Rope Extensions- 4 sets (12/12/10/10 and 15/12/10/8). Increase the weight halfway through the barbell work and try to increase the weight each set of rope extensions.
One-Arm Pulley Pushdowns - 4 sets (20/20/20/20). Keep the weight the same and burn out the triceps.
Cambered Bar Standing Tricep Pushdowns - 4 sets (12/10/8/8). Finish strong.
Joe "Yu Yevon" King
Today felt great! It was hard to get things started but once I did I had a pretty good workout.
AM Cardio:
15 minutes Stairmaster (228 calories)
30 minutes Elliptical (388 calories)
PM Weights:
5-minute warm up on rower
Standing Cable Single-Arm Row - 6 sets (12/10/8/6/6/25). Pull and squeeze the shoulder bladed together with minimal trunk rotation. On set 6, drop the weight just below where you started with set 1 for 25 reps.
Hammer Strength Low Row Machine - 6 sets (12/10/8/6/6/25). Same technique as above.
Bent Over Barbell Row - 5 sets (12/12/10/10/8). Not heavy, focus on the squeeze at the top and control the eccentric.
Neutral Grip Lat Pulldown - 6 sets (12/10/8/6/6/20). Use the 1 1/2 method here. This is where you perform one full repetition then one half repetition (the bottom half). Each one and one half reps counts as ONE. Drop the weight on the last set and rep it out, still using the 1 1/2 method.
Pullups - 5 sets (8/8/8/8/8). Strict pullups, no kipping.
Seated Dumbbell Curl - 10 sets (15/12/12/12/10/10/10/8/8/8). Also use the 1 1/2 method here. Complete one full curl then stop halfway down and curl up again for a half rep. Each one and one half reps counts as ONE. Drop the weight on the last set and rep it out, still using the 1 1/2 method.
Preacher Curl Machine - 5 sets (15/12/10/8/25). Use the mid-pause method here. With every concentric AND eccentric contraction, pause briefly (1-2 seconds) in the middle of each repetition (that means pause in the middle going up and pause in the middle going down). On the last set, drop the weight down but continue using the mid-pause method.
Barbell Wrist Curl - 5 sets (20/20/20/20/20). Nothing fancy, just get maximum extension in the wrists.
Dumbbell Wrist Twists - 5 sets (20/20/20/20/20). With your forearm supported on a flat bench and holding onto a dumbbell over the edge, rotate your wrist (and the dumbbell) as close to 180 degrees as possible in a controlled manner.
I finished with a little shoulder PT work and that was it. Thanks for reading.
Joe "Yu Yevon" King
Something came up at work and I had to skip legs on Wednesday. I will have to make up for it on Saturday.
A.M. Cardio: 40 minutes on the Elliptical (510 Calories)
P.M. Delts and Traps
Dumbbell Lateral Raise superset with Cable One-Arm Raise - 4 sets (15/12/10/8 for both). Increase the weight on each exercise every set.
Seated Dumbbell Arnold Press superset with Standing Neutral Grip Dumbbell Front Raises - 4 sets (10/10/8/6 and 8/8/8/8). Increase the weight each set for Arnold Press but keep the dumbbells the same for front raises. Be sure to keep a neutral grip.
Seated Military Press - 4 sets (12/10/8/6). Perform progressive drop sets each round. Progressive drop sets mean that you start set 1 with a certain weight, then drop it down and continue to failure. On each progressive set, increase the starting weight but keep the amount of weight you drop the same.
Reverse Machine Flyes - 4 sets (10/10/8/8).
Cable Upright Row superset with Cable Shrugs - 3 sets (10/8/6 and 15/15/15). Increase the weight each set on Upright Rows, keep the weight the same on Cable Shrugs.
Barbell Shrugs superset with Plate Shrugs - 4 sets (20/12/10/10 and 15/15/15/15). Increase the weight each round of Barbell Shrugs (no straps!) but keep the weight the same for plate shrugs. Work on peak contraction.
Unilateral (One-Arm) Dumbbell Shrugs - 4 sets (15/15/15/15). Same weight throughout, focus on peak and tight abs.
Shoulder Press Machine Burnouts - 1 set. Start off with a heavy weight that you can only get about 6 reps out of. Immediately drop the weight by one or two plates and complete 8 reps. Continue to drop the weight using this rep scheme (6/8/10/12/14/16/18/20). By the time you are on your last round the weight should be very light, but your shoulders and arms will still burn.
Joe "Yu Yevon" King
No cardio today, just arms.
I modified Fred "Biggie" Smalls arm workout for today.
Dumbbell Hammer Curls - 5 sets (15/12/10/8/8).
Lying Dumbbell Tricep Extension - 4 sets (15/12/10/8).
Dumbbell Concentration Curls - 4 sets (12/10/8/8).
Close Grip Bench Press - 4 sets (20/15/12/10).
Dumbbell Preacher Curl - 4 sets (10/10/8/8).
Rope Pushdowns - 4 sets (15/15/10/10).
Cable Standing One-Arm Curls - 3 sets (10/8/8).
One-Arm Reverse Cable Pushdowns - 3 sets (12/12/12).
Got a decent pump, I was able to focus on increasing weights because there are no real shocking principles or supersets in this workout (which is what I am normally used to). None-the-less the results feel good.
Joe "Yu Yevon" King
Had an hour to train chest/triceps today, so it was quick but effective.
Bench Press - 6 sets (15/12/10/10/8/8)
Incline Dumbbell Press - 5 sets (15/12/10/8/6). Focus on a slow eccentric contraction.
Leverage Incline Press superset with Leverage Flat Press - 6 sets (8/8/6/12/12/10 and 12/12/10/8/8/6). Here's how this works: for the first 3 supersets go heavy on the Incline and lighter on the Flat then switch for the last three supersets. It's a great combo for bringing out the shape of the chest.
Standing High Pulley Cable Flyes - 5 sets (15/12/10/10/8). Hold for 2-3 seconds at peak contraction on each rep, take your time.
Cambered Bar Lying Skull Crushers - 10 sets (12/12/10/10/8/8/6/6/4/15). Go light to heavy then very heavy and drop the weight in half for the last set.
Shoulder is feeling about 10-15% better from last week, so that's encouraging. Hopefully I will be full strength soon.
Joe "Yu Yevon" King
Back and Bicep supersets today.
Incline Bench Reverse Dumbbell Flyes superset with Incline Bench Prone Curls - 4 sets (15/12/10/8 for both). Lay chest down on an incline bench and perform the Reverse Flyes. Without changing position, allow your arms to hang down in front of you and perform Curls with the same weight. Increase the weight each set.
Medium Grip Lat Pulldown superset with One Arm Dumbbell Concentration Curls - 4 sets (15/12/10/8 and 12/12/12/12). Keep the weight the same for the Curls, but increase the weight on the Lat Pulldowns each set.
Neutral Grip Wide Seated Cable Rows superset with Cambered Bar Curls 3-ways - 6 sets (10/10/10/10/10/10 for both). For the Cambered Bar Curls, your first three sets are wide, medium and close then repeat again for the last three sets. Keep the weight the same for all sets.
Pull-ups - 8 sets (8/8/8/8/8/8/8/8). 8 sets of 8 strict pull-ups using full range of motion.
Felt pretty good!
Joe "Yu Yevon" King
Great leg workout today, although my workout partner's schedule didn't quite match up with mine, so I had to go it alone.
Front Squats - 5 sets (15/12/10/8/6). Go heavy and deep. Your hip crease needs to drop below your knees. I used a belt on the last two sets.
Leg Press superset with Seated Calf Raises - 6 sets (15/12/10/10/8/8 and 25/25/25/25/25/25). Go as heavy as you can on the leg press, add weight each set. Keep the weight the same for the Seated Calf Raises.
Leg Extensions - 5 sets (15/12/10/10/10). Increase the weight on each set, perform a triple drop set on the last set of 5, keep the reps the same for each drop.
Lying Leg Curl - 5 sets (15/12/10/10/10). Use the same method as you did for the Leg Extensions, including the triple drop at the end.
Leg Press Calf Raises - 4 sets (50/50/50/50). Keep the weight the same and rep it out. Focus on the reps, though, don't bounce!
Leg Extension Burnouts - 1 octouple drop set (6/8/10/12/14/16/18/20). Select a weight you can do about 10 times, but only perform 6 reps. Drop the weight by one plate and add 2 reps. Do this for each round until you have extremely light weight for 20 reps. It will hurt and is my favorite way to finish a leg workout.
Joe "Yu Yevon" King
Shoulder felt pretty good today for the first time in a long time. I think it's about 30% better from my lowest point. Overhead presses with wide elbows and open shoulders is still painful, but nowhere near where it was before.
Machine Shoulder Press superset with Dumbbell Lateral Raises - 5 sets (15/12/10/8/6 and 12/12/12/12/12). Increase the weight each round of Machine Press but keep the weight the same for the Dumbbell Laterals.
Lying Barbell Front Shoulder Raise - 4 sets (12/12/10/10). Lay down with your chest resting on an incline bench and hold a barbell with your arms loose below you. Raise the barbell up to shoulder height while keeping your chest in contact with the pad and lower the bar slowly. Don't worry about weight, focus on form and controlling the eccentric.
Cable Military Press superset with Cable Shrugs - 5 sets (15/12/10/8/6 and 15/15/15/15/15). Increase the weight each round of Military Press but keep the weight the same for Cable Shrugs.
High Pulley Cable Reverse Flyes superset with Plate Shrugs - 4 sets (12/12/10/10 and 25/25/25/25). Increase the weight halfway through on the Reverse Flyes. After each round of Flyes grab a couple of 45lb plates and burn them out.
Heavy Barbell Shrugs - 5 sets (15/12/10/8/8). Go heavy here. I used straps after the first round to focus more on the traps than on the grip. Full Range of Motion.
The pump was great and I'm stoked my shoulder feels good.
Joe "Yu Yevon" King
Killed it today, arms felt great and with a light day at work I was able to really stay focused in the gym.
Spider Curls - 5 sets (12/12/8/6/15). Lay chest down on an incline bench and grip a barbell below you. Slowly curl to your forehead and control the weight back down. Increase the weight each set except for the last, where you will drop the weight and burn it out.
Incline Dumbbell Curl - 3 sets (8/8/6). Now sit down on that incline bench and take some heavy dumbbells. Perform alternating curls.
Standing Barbell Curl - 3 sets (8/8/12). Go heavy the first two sets then lighten the weight a little for the last set. Rest/pause if you have to.
Preacher Curl Machine Burnouts - 1 large drop set (12/10/15/20/25). What I did here is selected a weight I could perform 12 times with great effort. Then I immediately peeled some weight off and only performed 10 reps. Drop again and perform 15, then 20 and 25. Going heavier on the first part of the drop pre-fatigues the biceps and doesn't leave much left for the rest of the set.
Cable Triceps Pushdowns - 4 sets + Triple Drop (12/8/8/8). Perform the triple drop on the last set.
Seated Overhead Triceps Press - 3 sets (10/8/8). You can use a single heavy dumbbell here, but I chose to use the cambered bar because the angle feels easier on my shoulders, plus I feel like I can get extra range out of it.
Low Cable Lying Triceps Extension - 3 sets (12/12/15). Place a bench up to a low pulley. With a cambered bar, perform lying triceps extensions. Focus on the eccentric pull for maximum burn.
Lying Dumbbell Triceps Extension - 3 sets (15/15/20). Very similar in function to the Lying Cable Triceps Extensions, but the feel is totally different. Use light weights and focus on control.
Reverse Wrist Curls Over Bench - 4 sets (25/25/25/25). These shouldn't be easy, rest/pause if you need to and use a challenging weight.
Standing Reverse Barbell Curls - 3 sets (15/15/15). More curls. Keep the weight the same each set.
Dumbbell Hammer Curls - 2 sets (both to failure). Try and get at least 15-20 reps here. These are not alternating curls, and try to avoid swinging the dumbbells.
Pretty happy with how this workout ended up. Now I get the afternoon off to spend with my son.
Joe "Yu Yevon" King
Hey buddy! I'm coming back/making a comeback myself too! Keep posting and keep up the good work!! Send me a PM

The Mac Specialis coming to do the set up suggested that I set up a separate folder with only the files I want to transfer. My question is what is the best way to go about this? I have an external Seagate 2T hard drive which is set to backup every hour with Time Machine.
So I still need to back up all the drivers for my four printers, iPad II, iPod Touch, Apple TV, first generation (soon a third generation), any current documents, my address book, iCal dates, iApps, iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie libraries, bookmarks, and e-mail Smart-and regular- folders?
As you can see I have gathered much over six years. I have until Friday night to do this, however it seems daunting at this point. Does anyone have tips on how to do this quickly and maybe with short cuts or a specific process?
I would greatly appreciate any suggesions and input. I use my iMac for both business and personal so I can't be without a comoputer to say the least.
Thanks you all

The Google Nexus 9's premium build, speedy performance and consistent updates render it one of the best high-end Android tablets.
This very usable 12-inch laptop is a good, if expensive, tool for websurfing and casual use, but would benefit from better battery life.

Formerly the Samsung Series 9, the rebranded Ativ Book 9 got little more than a change in name; the laptop feels dated, as it lacks a touch screen and the benefits of newer Intel processors.
Road Trip 2015: BKAV, which made its money selling security software, is the first to design and build a smartphone in Vietnam. The question is, will anyone buy it?
A big-screen ultrabook with a long, long battery life, the Samsung Ativ Book 9 2014 Edition delivers a high-end laptop experience for its premium price.
If you're just looking for an all-around excellently made Windows touch ultrabook and don't mind that it's on the expensive side (and doesn't convert to a tablet), the improved Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus is worth the investment.
Samsung's latest budget spin on a Windows touch-screen, AMD-powered, ultrabook-esque laptop has some flair, but the corners it cuts aren't worth the money saved.

McGill progamming team headed to world finals
McGill's team, consisting of undergraduates Gheorghe Comanici, Yang Li and Scott McMurray, placed 2nd in the Northeast division of the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC), giving them a berth at the World Finals in Stockholm.
On November 1st, 12 teams from the North East North America region, including MIT, Harvard and Brown, met at the Rochester Institute of Technology to compete for a spot at the World Finals in Sweden in April 2009. After leading for a while, the McGill team fell behind MIT Beavers, who established a commanding lead, but McGill succeeded in holding the second position until the end. The first and second teams will both advance to the World Finals, to be held in Stockholm, Sweden.
The team would like to thank Eric Dallal for his advice and coaching, and SOCS for its support and funding.

The Teessiders find themselves seven points shy of the play-offs after a disastrous run of 12 defeats in 16 Championship games, during which time they have accumulated just eight points.
However, Steele insists neither Mowbray nor his players have given up hope of a fightback into contention.
He told the Northern Echo: "You can tell every time you speak to him that he is hurting.
"Everybody is hurting because we all wanted this to happen. We all wanted promotion. He is trying his hardest to turn things around.
"There is still a glimmer of hope there and we are more than capable of winning the next five games, even though we have not shown that in recent months."

OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Nov. 11, 2013 -- Ernest Shepherd attended Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Veterans Day ceremony wearing a uniform similar to what he wore in 1944 when the hospital he was working in as a medic in Belgium was hit with a German bomb.
Shepherd -- 89 years old and an ORNL retiree who treated wounded from the D-Day invasion prior to moving on to Belgium -- would earn the Purple Heart for his heroics in the aftermath of the bombing.
"It blew out all the windows in that whole building," recalled Shepherd, who was on the second floor when the bomb crashed into the hospital and exploded about 300 feet from where he was located. "It killed 29 people. There were between 12 to 15 air personnel killed and one major who I really liked got killed. I got wounded in the face with shrapnel or flying glass. That's how I earned the Purple Heart."
After recovering from his injuries in Paris, Shepherd was sent back to Belgium a few months later and treated wounded from the Battle of the Bulge.
UT-Battelle manages ORNL for the Department of Energy's Office of Science. DOE's Office of Science is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States, and is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time.

As a new federal report found that charter schools aren't enrolling as many special-education students as traditional public schools, legislation designed to address that imbalance in New York remains stalled.
The review by the Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress, identified the disparity at the national level without breaking out state-level findings. Special-education students made up 8.2% of charter school students during the 2009-2010 school year, below the average at traditional public schools of 11.2%.
But the national pattern plays out in New York as well.
In the Journal's report on the new study, Success Academy Charter Schools founder and former New York City Council Member Eva Moskowitz explained the enrollment disparity by noting that some charter schools try to move students out of special education through intensive instruction. About 7% of disabled students at Success Academy move out of "special education" classification, compared to 1% for the school district, she said.
