Home-made Tofu in Minutes!
Home-made Tofu can literally be made in minutes, and of course works out much cheaper than buying it from the shops. By learning how to make tofu at home you can always have it available rather than having to remember to go to a specialist store to buy it. Best of all you can flavor home-made tofu however you like, so you can come up with some really tasty and unique recipes. While tofu is really popular with vegetarians, vegans and those living without dairy products, it is an exciting and tasty addition to any meal and can be enjoyed by everyone. Read on to discover exactly what it is, and just how easy it is to make this traditional Chinese food in your own home!
What Exactly is Tofu?
Tofu is one of those foods that people are often really not sure about! Well tofu is actually bean curd made from coagulated soya milk. A special salt called Nigari is used to curdle the milk and then the curds are separated, put in a mold and pressed so produce a soft white block. Tofu originates in China over 2000 years ago and one really does wonder just how on earth they invented it! Over the years the use of tofu spread to Korea and Japan. In the natural form tofu has practically no taste, but it acts like a sponge and can absorb either sweet or savory flavors. Due to this it is a great ingredient to have available in the kitchen since you can incorporate it into so many different recipes. If you have tried raw tofu and thought that it was boring then just try marinating it in your favorite sauce or spice… it will literally soak up the flavor!
Tofu and Nutrition:
For those of you who prefer to eat dairy free food then the really good thing about Tofu is that is contains around 42% calcium, so there is no need to worry about the health of your bones! Other plus points include:
- High Iron Content – 19%
- High Protein Content
- Low in calories – Only 128 calories per serving (1/4 of a block or around 122g)
Tofu has traditionally been eaten by vegetarians to help ensure a healthy protein and calcium intake, but of course you don't need to be a vegetarian, or even a Buddhist, to enjoy it!
How to Make Tofu
Home-made Tofu is derived from Soy or Soya milk, so the first thing that you need to do is get some of that. These days you can easily find it in the health food section of your regular store… but it will cost a pretty penny, probably over a Dollar, a Euro or a Pound for a carton. You can make your own for just a few cents from soya beans. You will also need the Nigari salt, a mold of some sort, cheesecloth and some weights. You can buy special molds or just make one out of an old margarine or Tupaware tub.
Read how to do this by hand here: Make Soya Milk
Read how to do this using a cost effective machine here: Home-made Soy Milk
|To make Tofu you need to start off with a carton of Soya milk. Regular unsweetened soy milk without any extra additives is best. A one liter or two pint carton with make a decent sized block.
|In order to curdle or coagulate the soya milk you need to add a special salt. The best kind to use is called "Nigari" and can be bought for just over a dollar or a Euro in most Health stores. If you can't find that then Epsom salts or vinegar both do the trick. Dissolve 6g, or about a flat T spoon full, in a little hot water. Stir it around until it has all dissolved and if some is left at the bottom add more water.
|Add the water and Nigari mixture to to the jug of milk while stirring all the time. Do it slowly, a little at a time. After a minute or two you will notice that the mixture has turned very granular. The milk has curdled!
|Next, line the mold with cheesecloth and slowly pour in the curdled milk. You need a mold about 4 inches long, 3 inches wide and 3 inches high to accommodate one liter. Of you pour the milk in too quickly then it will overflow so be be careful.
|You may need to pat the curd down with a spoon to make space for the final dregs of milk. Once all the bean curd is in the mold then carefully fold the cheesecloth over the top. You need to fold it neatly so that the block of tofu is neat and without folds after pressing.
|Finally add some weights to the top to press the tofu. You can put the lid on and press by hand to start with in order to speed up the process and expel as much liquid as you can. After that just leave it with the weights on top for around an hour. The longer you leave it the firmer the tofu will be.
|After an hour remove the weights and carefully unwrap the block of tofu. As you can see, one liter of milk makes about 168g of tofu. In order to keep it fresh just put it into a plastic container with a little water in the bottom and store in the fridge. Change the water daily if you are keeping it for any length of time. It will only take around 5 minutes of your time to make a block of home-made tofu like this.
What Equipment to use:
If you are just experimenting with home-made tofu then you can probably find everything that you need around the house for the first batch. For example use an old Tupperware container with holes punched in for the mold and a cotton hanky for the cheesecloth. However, if you are going to make it on a regular basis then it will save you a lot of time if you invest in the right equipment. Just as with making soya milk the pay-back is very fast since the actual ingredients (soya beans) are very cheap compared to the value of the finished product that you buy in the shops.
You can buy soya milk, but in the pay-back is very fast if you buy a decent machine and use it regularly. Making the milk by hand is easy but takes time…

So take a Frugal Tip from the MeanyGoat: If you like tofu and eat it on a regular basis then it will only take a few minutes of your time. Home-made tofu only contains what YOU put in it so you know that it will not have any nasty additives or preservatives. Costing only around 25 cents a block home-made tofu is a steal!
Here are some great recipe ideas:

Those are such wonderful things to be thankful for!
I am super thankful for the authors i love. They give me an outlet for my stress, build wonderful worlds andlives in which I can be a part of. With each book I read I realize more and more how Thankful i am for all of you(authors). You have all taken the characters and worlds from your minds and re-created them in amazing books for me. I always feel like each story i read is written just for me, so i can become a part of something..no matter how far fetched it may be..
Sometimes life gets the best of me and I know when that happens all I have to do is pick up a book and I can be taken away a little while...and when I come out of my "dream world" things always look much brighter :)
So thank You to all the authors (especially you Laurs) for taking the time to share your characters and lives with me :)
**on a side note..i am thankfulfor my family (who are always there for me..really they are constantly there!) and for my husband who understands that when I am reading you just dont mess with me ;)
Happy Thanksgiving!
Aw, Kristina--what an awesome comment--thank you! Books do the same thing for me, I have to say--I love just losing myself in one! Have the happiest thanksgiving, girl!
I'm thankful for the cleaning company in my house right now....and all that other stuff you said! happy T-giving to you Laura
OOOH! Cleaning company is a good one! LOL Less time scrubbing toilets, more time writing! LOL Thanks, Liz!
There are so many things I'm thankful for outside of the real life stuff.
I can definitely say I am immensely thankful to ABC Family for taking a chance on me and letting me be part of the huge promotion for The Nine Lives of Chloe King in June. It showed me that I was capable of handling a large event that required daily posting without going insane.
I'm also very thankful that Cathy from Entangled approached me around the same time to see if I wanted to help promote Entangled's launch titles. It's been both fun and life changing. The authors are some of the hardest working and friendly people I've had the pleasure of encountering online. It isn't everyday I meet authors that I would love to meet up with for lunch IRL and the whole team working for Entangled have done it!
Happy Thanksgiving Laura!
I have so much to be thankful for. First would be my husband and sons. Second, my health - 5 yrs cancer free. Third, hubs bought me a 2012 X3 which I just picked up. It is So lovely. Fourth, the ability to see so that I can reas :). There is so much more I'm thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Wow! Thank you for sharing such wonderful things to be thankful for with me! Happy Thanksgiving guys!

This limited regional recall is for vehicles currently registered or first sold in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and equipped with Takata-brand air bag inflators. Upon deployment the driver and/or passenger airbag inflator could rupture, increasing the risk of personal injury. Honda dealers will replace the affected airbag inflator modules to correct this concern.
Honda and Acura are recalling numerous 2001–2004 vehicles to inspect for an internal automatic transmission fault. This fault could result in gear failure, which can cause the transmission to lock up. If the transmission were to lock up with the vehicle in motion, a crash could result. If the inspection reveals internal transmission damage, the transmission will be replaced. If no internal damaged is noted, the transmission oil cooler return line will be revised in order to increase fluid flow. For more information, please call Honda at 1-800-999-1009 or Acura at 1-800-382-2238.

I have not been able to find a references as to "under the influence" I would assume it is .08 the same as for driving.Revocation, Suspension, or Surrender of Permit
Any person who has a felony charge pending or a charge pending for an offense that would be a disqualification for a permit who holds a concealed handgun permit may have such permit suspended by the court before which the charge is pending.
Any person convicted of an offense that would disqualify that person from obtaining a permit or who makes a false statement in an application shall forfeit his permit to the court, or shall be subject to suspension or revocation of the permit.
Any person with a concealed handgun permit shall be prohibited from carrying any concealed firearm, and shall surrender his or her permit to the court entering the order for the duration of any protective order pursuant to § 18.2-308.1:4.
Any person granted a concealed handgun permit who is under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs while carrying such weapon in a public place shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.
There is no "360" rule...would be impossible, unless you clear-taped it to the top of your head
I first started OCing in restaurants in VA with an IWB holster (didn't have an OWB holster yet). As long as your gun is visible, and recognizable as a gun, it's "open carry".
As the law is silent on open carry, the only way to be legal is NOT conceal it (until you have your CHP).
Also, VA law does NOT require you to notify LEOs....VA law is silent on this requirement, thus, you don't need to say a thing. Others might say the LEO will know you have a CHP during a traffic spot--unless you don't have your vehicles registered in VA (being military).
Another good idea to stay current on changes in VA gun laws is to join the Virginia Citizens Defense League (Virginia Citizens Defense League, Inc. (VCDL))

Are aware that OC is legal in restaurants that serve alcohol, nothing under current law says you cannot drink while OC'ing in those establishments. If the proposed law for allowing CC in restaurants that serve alcohol passes, as written, consumption would be prohibited.
Sounds like you are on the right track. On 3 firearms forums myself, just joined the NRA, member of the VCDL, and military...

Product Description
Is enlightenment really a possibility the contemporary world? What would happen if you truly surrendered to what comes your way, without expectation or attachment? Are the things you fear the source of trouble or beauty? At the age of twenty-nine, Jerry Wennstrom changed the course of his life in a way that brought answers to these questions and more. He was a successful New York City artist when he began to sense that something much larger and more important was stirring, waiting to emerge in his life. "I intuited something much more alive that promised nothing. There were no guarantees, but I intuited it was everything that was most creative, most alive. It was everything that I had been searching for with my will and whatever intelligence I had available. And so on the strength of that simple place, I went for life, and I destroyed the work and I gave everything I owned away. And it proved to be the most powerful thing and the most important thing I've ever done." What he discovered was a path to understanding and wholeness that brings the ancient teachings into the context of our modern world. (Hosted by Justine Willis Toms & Michael Toms)
Jerry Wennstrom is the author of The Inspired Heart: An Artist's Journey of Transformation (Sentient Publications 2002). His life and work are the subject of the video In the Hands of Alchemy (Parabola 2001). Marilyn Strong is an ordained minister and a Jungian oriented spiritual counselor. She has created a CD of her chants, songs and drumming, Song for Sophia. Her singing can also be heard on the soundtrack of the video, In the Hands of Alchemy.
Topics Explored in this Dialogue:
- What is the joy and the terror you experience in the face of surrender
- How your heart and your actions may come together through deep listening
- What it means to live in a state of true individuality, where there are no reference points other than your direct relationship to the divine mystery
- How you can "wander" through the creative process and through life by waiting and watching for the totality that wants to unfold
- How the world shows you precisely what you expect to see
- What gift lies at the core of our darkest fears

China's ways of doing business are becoming more Westernized. But non-Chinese executives still must work hard at building trust in relationships with their Chinese business partners.
A global automotive company entered the mainland China market following what it thought were the rules. Executives knew gifts were an important personal gesture and integral to Chinese business etiquette. They also knew that success in Chinese business culture was as much about whom you know as what you know.
To make the right connections, the company sponsored events and hosted lavish dinner parties to cultivate personal ties, including the all-important guanxi (commonly defined as personal connections between people doing business). Several years later, the company faced the fact that its efforts were producing minimal results.
As they tried to discover why, executives learned that despite all their efforts, the company had actually acquired a bad reputation among potential Chinese industry partners. The potential partners had come to view the company as a seeker of short-term transactional opportunities wrapped in expensive entertainment.
The Leading Question
How do you build effective business relationships in China today?
- Chinese business culture is changing as the country opens up to global businesses.
- Western executives need to start by developing their Chinese counterparts' trust in their competence and capability.
- Trust grounded in empathy and rapport is also particularly important in Chinese business relationships — and is more complex to develop.
The Chinese executives the company had carefully courted socially now viewed it as a source of free entertainment — a perk they came to expect with every interaction. Even worse, the potential Chinese partners had developed the impression that the company had few compelling business propositions to offer since it didn't seem to be focused on doing business. Although the company knew the people it needed to know, like many other companies eager to gain a foothold in China, it had failed in its efforts to build critical relationships —and as a result, its business initiatives failed too.
The Myths of Guanxi
In our studies of intercultural relationships between Chinese and Western executives, my colleagues and I discovered that a fundamental misconception has arisen about guanxi. Experts line up to sell Western executives courses, websites, books and articles that promise to help them build guanxi.

The Blues and the Abstract Truth, Take 2
Resonance Records
In the introduction to his book Weather Bird, Gary Giddins observes, "Interpretation, the lifeblood of classical music, is downgraded to imitation in jazz, beyond occasional attempts at orchestral repertory." Bill Cunliffe dares to challenge this principle with an album that revisits, for purposes of interpretation, a consensus masterpiece: Oliver Nelson's 1961 Impulse LP The Blues and the Abstract Truth.
Nelson's recording contained six indelible compositions, each manifesting a different relationship to the blues, and spare, immaculate arrangements for septet. The album also contained some solos for the ages from Freddie Hubbard, Eric Dolphy and Bill Evans.
Cunliffe wisely walks a fine line. His new arrangements do not radically alter Nelson's music, but rather offer subtle shifts in harmonic and rhythmic perspective. His nine-piece ensemble plays the six famous tracks of the Nelson album in their original order. The most famous is the first, "Stolen Moments," a diaphanous, mysterious 16-bar blues in C-minor. The Nelson version contains four sublime solos from Hubbard, Dolphy (on flute), Nelson himself (on tenor) and Evans. Cunliffe's reconsideration of the song is shorter and more urgent, with some new grace notes and details and flourishes in the theme, and a darker, more complex instrumental blend. It also has three strong, brand new solos from trombonist Andy Martin, alto saxophonist Jeff Clayton, and bassist Tom Warrington.
Cunliffe's personalization of "Stolen Moments," like this whole project, is revealing and valid. New elements in his arrangements (like Mark Ferber's drum breaks on "Cascades") sound organic. Cunliffe shares with Nelson a commitment to charts that set up inspired blowing. Saxophonists Clayton and Bob Sheppard and trumpeter Terell Stafford respond with some of their most creative recent work on record, volatile (Sheppard), aggressive (Stafford) and free (Clayton).

Extended-spectrum b-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae in a Swiss university hospital: molecular characterisation and susceptibility to ertapenem
Abstract number: 1733_530
Bruderer T., Widmer A.F., Flury M., Oezcan S., Jutzi M., Frei R.
Objectives: First, to determine the molecular types of extended-spectrum b-lactamases (ESBLs) in Enterobacteriaceae at the University Hospital Basel, Switzerland. Secondly, to assess the activity of ertapenem against ESBL-producing strains.
Methods: Between 1/1/2003 and 31/12/2005, all consecutive clinical Enterobacteriaceae isolates were screened by use of 4 ESBL markers (ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefpodoxime, and aztreonam) according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. As phenotypic confirmatory test, three different ESBL Etest strips (AB Biodisk, Sweden) were used, i.e., ceftazidime, cefotaxime, and cefepime, each with and without clavulanic acid. Repetitive patient isolates and K1 hyperproducing Klebsiella oxytoca were excluded. To determine the molecular types, PCR amplifying SHV, TEM, and CTX-M genes was performed and amplicons were sequenced. Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of ertapenem were determined by Etest and interpreted according to the standards of CLSI.
Results: Among 8,384 isolates screened, 57 (0.68%) phenotypically confirmed ESBLs were identified. The ESBL rate was 1.1% and 3.4% in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, respectively. Among ESBL strains, 59.6% were E. coli, 31.6% K. pneumoniae, and 8.8% other genera. The majority (49.1%) of ESBL strains was found in urine samples. PCR and DNA sequencing analysis demonstrated that 61.4% of the ESBL strains expressed a CTX-M type, 15.8% an SHV ESBL type, and 5.3% a TEM ESBL type. CTX-M-15 was the predominant (29.8%) b-lactamase followed by CTX-M-3 and SHV-12. There was no epidemiological and microbiological evidence for an outbreak situation. In 9 strains, no CTX-M, SHV or TEM ESBL could be detected. The MIC50 and MIC90 of ertapenem were 0.06 mg/l and 0.25 mg/l, respectively. Overall, 98.2% of the strains were susceptible to ertapenem (MIC ≤ 2 mg/l).
Conclusions: Despite an extensive screening strategy, the prevalence of ESBLs is low in our medical institution. The distribution of the ESBL types is similar to the distribution in institutions with high ESBL prevalence, being CTX-M the predominant ESBL class. The new compound ertapenem is highly active against the ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae tested.

Catholic World Report: Groucho Marx once said, "I wouldn't want to belong to any club that would have a guy like me as a member."
So began my witness testimony at the Easter Vigil on April 7, 2007, when my wife Barbara and I entered the Catholic Church. For a New York Jew, who'd detested the name "Jesus" for as long as he could remember, to be standing before a packed congregation at Sacred Heart Church in Prescott, Arizona, having to recount in three minutes how he got there—well, you can imagine what a surreal a moment that was.

The potential success of the five players at, or under, the age of 22 competing at the Open Championship may reveal future stars, major winners, and PGA Tour standouts.
Rickie Fowler, Chris Wood, Rory McIlroy, Ryo Ishikawa, and Jason Day will be the youngest players battling for glory at this year's British Open.
In the midst of the media frenzy over Tiger Woods' new putter and Phil Mickelson's chances of capturing the elusive Open Championship, these young guns have gone under the radar.
But from the fierce play of Fowler at this year's Memorial tournament, to Jason Day's first professional victory at the HP Byron Nelson Championship, this batch of talented youth have generated a fresh level of intrigue into what the future holds for professional golf.

Loading Tree...
Technical Resources
The county is was historically a major agricultural community. At one time,
more sheep where shipped out of the valley that anywhere else in the nation. The
high-altitude farming raised peas as a major crop with a cannery in the
community. In the 70's many dairies participated in the USDA dairy buyout. There
are now 8 active dairies left in the county, major crops are alfalfa and grass
hay. Most of the county is under sprinkler irrigation.
The County has experienced incredible residential growth with water quality,
water quantity and wise land use is a major concern. The area is a watershed for
metropolitan areas along the Wasatch Front and has three very large man-made
reservoirs: Jordanelle, Deer Creek, and Strawberry; that serve culinary,
irrigation, and recreational needs. The Provo River is a blue-ribbon fishery for
fly-fishing. Tourism is a major business in the area. Scenic farmland is an
asset that the local people would like to protect. Only one hour from Salt Lake
City, and adjacent to Park City, the county was the cross-country and biathlon
venue of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, and has 5 golf courses.. Recreation
impacts on natural resources continue to be an issue.
Geologically, the county lies between the Great Basin and the Uintah Basin.
The southeastern part of the county drains to the Colorado River by way of the
Strawberry River. However most of the water from the Strawberry River drainage
is diverted through tunnels from the Current Creek and Strawberry Reservoirs to
Utah County. The northern part of the county drains into the Provo River which
runs southwestward into Utah County by way of Provo Canyon.

Welcome to Ksamil Apartments
The city Ksamil is in the south part of Albania and bordered by Greece. It is 13 km away from the city of Saranda, Albania, 6 miles from Corfu and 50 km from Igoumenitsa, Greece. Ksamil is a basically tourist area and consists of 10,000 inhabitants. The summer months in Ksamil are busy and lively due to tourism, in the winter life slows down a little and the local population spend their time fishing and upgrading the infrastructure of the city.
Meet little above the Ksamil Apartments
Ksamil Apartments is located in the city center of Ksamil.
From the front of the building you can admire the lake view, from the back you can delight in the beautiful sea view, the sea being a mere 400m away from Ksamil apartments.
The construction of Ksamil apartments began in 2008 and continued until they were opened in 2012.
Each apartment consists of a bedroom, a living room, kitchen, bathroom and veranda.
Each apartment can facilitate 3 to 4 adults.
Each bedroom consists of a double bed, two bedside tables, tv, air-condition.
The living room may also contain 1 or 2 single beds, depending on the room.
The kitchen has a fridge, a table and a cooker.
Here at Ksamil apartmemts we also offer free WI-FI and parking. It should also be noted that the tap water here is drinkable.
The foundation legend of the city involved either Helenus, son of King Priam or Pyrrhus, the son of Achilles, who attempted to sacrifice a bull on his ship which escaped and leapt ashore before dying.
On the same spot, the city was founded 3,000 years ago.
In Ksamil you will be able to learn about the Helenstic period (3rd - 4th Century BC), the Roman period (2nd Century AD), the Byzantine period (6th Century AD) and also the Venetian period (13th - 14th Century AD).
You can experience all our history at the archaeological site of Butrint.
Saranda is a beautiful city which has a lot to offer to its visitors. In the summer visitors flock to Saranda to learn about the history and enjoy the beaches.
Saranda is believed by historians to have been built circa 1537, when Sultan Suleiman attacked Corfu and took control of the Saranda road which leads to Butrint.
The Blue Eye
The blue aye is a water spring. It is a natural phenomenon and a very popular tourist attraction. The clear blue water of the river bubbles forth from a stunning pool. It is estimated that the pool is fifth metres deep, however the true depth is still unknown.

'Chuck' 4.19 'Chuck Versus The Muuurder' Review
After the royal screwing up of the Gretas last week, this week's Chuck is like Clue, only with extra dead bodies. It sees our hero with Bentley's job of finding more Intersect candidates, and to no one's surprise, they're a weird bunch. There's an obligatory training montage, but just as Chuck is about to pick the winner, one of them is murdered. And then another is nearly blown up. Chuck's first day as the boss is not a good one.
The plot gives us a series of amusing interrogations - there's the girl who says she's too emotional, while crying, and the guy who can't get sent anywhere where there isn't sand. There's also a brief moment where Chuck loses his hearing thanks to another bomb explosion. All I can think of is that Archer did that gag pretty well already. Like redshirts in an episode of Star Trek, this episode goes through the newbies in quick fashion, leading up to a Monk-ish final act where Chuck explains that he knows who it is (and isn't) with the use of some black-and-white flashbacks. I do give the writers credit for not making Bentley the killer, but I have to say I prefer "whodunit" conclusions where I get to figure things out, rather than having them all wrapped up for me. It's the same issue I had with Monk at times; why spend my time trying to solve the crime when I'll get all the answers at the end anyway? At least Chuck learns the moral of the story: that he is capable of being a leader.
Now that Ellie has her dad's computer back (thanks to Bentley), she can't keep off the thing, much to Devon's discomfort. What she doesn't know is that Bentley is spying on her every move. Devon tells Chuck about Bentley returning the computer, and Chuck dispatches him to keep Ellie from getting into too much. He can't go through with it, however. We learn that Ellie is starting to figure out the general idea of the Intersect - she tells Devon that her father was working on how to input knowledge into the human brain - and we find out she's "Agent X." Let's hope that doesn't change her too much from the Ellie we love. Now that the show is into its fourth year, I have to wonder if there will be a point where the number of people in the know about Chuck's double life will outweigh those who don't, and what impact that will have on the show. It's a double-edged sword: characters can only stay believably clueless for so long, but you want to retain some mystery.
Meanwhile, in the comedic subplot, Big Mike (Mark Christopher Lawrence, as good as ever) is literally abducted by employees from Buy More's rival, LargeMart. The kidnapping is in retaliation for the snatching of LargeMart's mascot, Kevin Bacon (ha), whom Jeff and Lester set free. The pig eventually ends up coming snout-to-face with an armed Casey, and getting nearly blown up, but relax, he's okay.
This is another fairly simple plot for Chuck, in fact, probably a little too simple, but as I stated last week, that's not so bad as long as there's something to make up the entertainment value. Like "Chuck Versus The A-Team," it has its moments, just not enough of them for me to really love it. I can't say that I have any great need to see it again, but at least I've seen the most creative use of a pig since Babe.
For more Chuck, head over to DigitalAirwaves.net.

I let myself go
We only have one life. Drinking and eating all the shit you normally wouldnt for a week is not going to set you back much. Enjoy yourself!
who trains and eats clean while on vacation? im going soon and there are no gyms that o know of , also eating clean is pretty ard to do when you are on a beach all day and surrounded my fast food
who lets them selves go for a week and who carries on there lefestyle as they were at home
I let myself go
We only have one life. Drinking and eating all the shit you normally wouldnt for a week is not going to set you back much. Enjoy yourself!
here is the next dilema bro - i have had a bout 8 weeks off with a chest injury and have lost alot of muscle as it is i only started back doing light weigh and push ups last week
when on vacation I will give myself a LITTLE leeway but gen still treat life as normal
yes we only have one life and should enjoy it ..... but I find when I am eating junk not exercising and drinking too much I dont enjoy my time bc I feel like SHIT
Depends on what is available & how my time is being spent. I was recently in Miami Beach and went to a local Gold's a couple times. But it was so flippin' hot in there for us "cool Nor Cal'ers", half the workout was just from standing in the humidity. After that I just stopped worrying about it enjoyed the sun & frosty drinks w/ umbrellas. I figure hoofing it up & down Ocean Drive in 98 degree weather counts as cardio.
I do some training in the morning (bodyweight exercises and cardio) , eat a clean breakfast, and then eat whatever I want the rest of the day. I'll skip the cardio if the vacation involves hiking or something similiar.
My training consists of the following:
1. One early morning of jogging + jumping jacks
2. Wine drinking for duration of vacation
3. Love making with girlfriend for duration of vacation
4. Beach lounging for duration of vacation
5. Babe watching @ nightclubs on final night of vacation
Protein shakes, beef jerky, and fruit.
I had a vacation recently and while everyone else was sleeping in till 9 or so I was waking up around 6 and getting in two healthy meals before we all went out for the day. I would pack a blender bottle with some whey and a little bag of almonds and snack on those. I would eat what I wanted for lunch and we cooked dinner every night so I'd have whatever was made for dinner. I also enjoyed myself and had beer and margaritas. You don't have to completely abandon your healthy lifestyle but enjoy yourself because before you know it you will be right back to reality and eating clean all the time. Just my .02 cents, aint worth much.
Oh and as far as training, I didn't do anything. There was actually a rinky dink gym I considered going to but decided to give my body a rest for a week and it definitely felt great. I felt rejuvinated, fresh, and strong when I got home.
Yeah, unless youre competing or something just enjoy yourself and dont worry about it too much.
try my best to stay on track and eat clean all the time and I cant remember the last time I was on vacation that I did not train or eat well.
Just to reinterate with some visuals.
pussy is something you can eat while on vacation. Low calorie and it tastes great, well sometimes
I will Fedex enough protein and vitamins to make sure I can supplement inbetween meals as needed. I will also stock the mini fridge with milk. I have never been to a resort that didn't have a decent gym before, but I can't stop training!!!!!!

When I'm on vacation, that's usually one week that I don't care. Sometimes if I'm eating seafood I'll do grilled or baked but I mainly eat fried seafood. I spend the days drinking and having a good time. I usually gain 3-5lbs. while on vacation.
Since there'll be no gym in site, I'm going to lift right up till we leave, then get some good cardio and swimming in during the week.

Water utilities customers warned to beware of scam
The City of Longview is issuing warnings to water utilities customers of a fraudulent scheme that has already targeted some locals. Scam artists tell their victims the president and federal government will provide them with credit or literally pay their water bills. The hucksters then give their unwitting customers a phony bank routing number so they can …

At 12:30 p.m. on July 27, 1991, I went to a well-known Denver-area sports bar. I remember the time and date so exactly because that's the day a server recommended, and I tried, a "Garbage Burger" for lunch. That experience changed forever the way I would think about the connection between the customer and the customer-facing crew. In fact, it opened my eyes to a completely new way of looking at service and selling in the restaurant business.The night before, I participated in a Denver ...

Schwinn Sponsored UW Cycling Team First Race of Season
Feb 24, 2006
While students were sleeping in or maybe hitting the library on Saturday and Sunday morning of this past weekend, the UW � Madison Cycling Team was rising at 6AM in Indiana to compete in their first cycling races of the spring collegiate road season.
The road race on Saturday and the fast-paced criterium (sort of like NASCAR on bikes) on Sunday were hosted by Depauw University in below-freezing temperatures, and the riders, representing schools from all over the Midwest Conference, were all smiles.
With 25 riders representing the UW team, an impressive amount for the very first weekend, the Badgers demonstrated their competitiveness with high finishes in each race. Highlights included Casey Cessna in the women�s A and Ryan Baumann in the men�s B category road races of Saturday, both of whom placed 5th in their race. Sunday�s criterium races saw the UW men�s B team put on a clinic as Ryan Baumann and Eric Dier grabbed the 1 and 2 spots respectively. Many other UW riders placed well in their categories, and if this is any sign of things to come for the UW Cycling Team, then we�re in for an exciting season.

Molecular analysis of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates collected from patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in central Poland
Abstract number: 1733_1492
Jagielski T., Augustynowicz-Kopec E., Kozinska M., Zabost A., Klatt M., Zwolska Z.
Objective: Although the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) in Poland is steadily decreasing, the prevalence of primary drug-resistant TB, including multidrug resistance (MDR), has been on the rise over the last few years. Therefore, continued surveillance and monitoring of TB epidemiology are required. Currently, molecular typing methods have become a useful tool for tracking and control of transmission of drug-resistant TB. The aim of this study was the molecular characterisation of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates.
Materials and Methods: A total of 48 clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis representing 48 non-related, adult patients with resistant pulmonary tuberculosis in central Poland in 2004 were analysed by spoligotyping and newly devised PCR-based method designated IS6110-Mtb1/Mtb2 PCR. Species identification and drug susceptibility testing had been performed beforehand.
Results: Among strains tested, a total of 26 distinct spoligotypes were identified. Unique spoligotype patterns were observed in 19 (39.6%) isolates and the remaining 29 (60.4%) isolates were grouped within 7 clusters, made up of 28 isolates. When compared with an international spoligotyping database SpolDB4, 13 (27.1%) of the 19 unique profiles shared already described spoligotypes, whereas the rest 6 (12.5%) did not match any existing spoligotype and were defined as orphans. Of the 7 recognized clusters, one had not been described in SpolDB4. This cluster, comprising 4 isolates, seem to be specific for the study setting. Interestingly, two members of the Beijing family were identified.
Of the 7 spoligotyping clusters, 3 were not confirmed and 2 were partially confirmed by IS6110-Mtb1/Mtb2 PCR. Only two spoligotyping clusters, comprising 2 and 4 isolates, respectively, were identical both with spoligotyping and IS6110-Mtb1/Mtb2 analysis.
Table 1. Comparison of discriminating power among two genotyping methods used in this study
Conclusions: Molecular analysis by using two genotyping methods, undertaken in 48 drug-resistant M. tuberculosis isolates, showed a variety of different genetic profiles. Spoligotyping overestimated by about 2.5 times the number of clustered isolates, compared to IS6110-Mtb1/Mtb2 PCR. A combination of spoligotyping and IS6110-Mtb1/Mtb2 PCR showed 12 (25%) strains to be clustered, suggesting possible recent transmission.

TUPELO – Trustmark Bank will open a new Tupelo corporate office in the Fairpark District by the end of the year.
The Jackson-based bank is leasing an 11,152-square-foot space in the Fairpark Crossing building once occupied by the now-folded Stanford Financial Group, which collapsed in early 2009.
The property was bought by Tupelo Furniture Market Chairman and CEO V.M. Cleveland earlier this year in an auction for $750,000.
Trustmark will lease the space from Cleveland for an undisclosed price.
The bank said the move into the new location will allow it to consolidate its main office operations, retail and commercial banking, mortgage and wealth management and insurance offices.
"The investment in the Fairpark Crossing facility demonstrates Trustmark's commitment to the Tupelo market and the community's economic development efforts," said Art Stevens, Trustmark's president of Mississippi. "This new office complements our four other Tupelo locations with a corporate presence that is well-aligned with our strategic initiatives for market and line of business growth."
Trustmark's current main office on South Broadway Street will be closed.
Bank officials said among the features at the Fairpark office will be state-of-the-art technology, teller pods designed to offer more personalized customer service and a walk-up ATM.
"We are excited to be a part of Tupelo's revitalization efforts," said Charles Russell, president of Trustmark's Tupelo market. "More importantly, this relocation will allow us to enhance our focus on our customers by providing a more streamlined approach to meeting their financial needs.
Trustmark has $9.6 billion in assets and more than 150 offices in Mississippi, Florida, Tennessee and Texas. In the second quarter, it posted net earnings of $31.6 million, or 49 cents a share.

Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Monrovia won, some things never change, but so did Rio Hondo Prep. Granted it wasn't against a big time opponent, yet in a new year, in a new division, and after so many losses to graduation, it was good win for the Kares. Of 18 coverage area teams, three had byes (Temple City, Gabrielino, Mt. View) 15 played, and just five won.
1. Monrovia Wildcats (1-0): Started slow, but rallied to beat San Dimas.
2. Rio Hondo Prep Kares (1-0): Get used to it, you might be seeing a lot of this team.
3. Arcadia Apaches (1-0): Yeah, it was only Alhambra but a win is a win.
4. Rosemead Panthers (0-1) Cut out the first half and they beat Northview.
5. La Puente Warriors (1-0): Big win over not so good Sierra Vista.
6. Baldwin Park Braves (1-0): Squeaked one out at El Monte.
7. Arroyo Knights (0-1): Randy Amezcua is the new "A-Train".
8. Gabrielino Eagles (0-0): Get started this week.
9. El Monte Lions (0-1): If Lions play defense, offense will make them dangerous.
10. Bassett Olympians (0-1): Talented to do damage, but need to play four quarters.

Looks like we won't have to wait until Oct. 26 to see Microsoft's Window 8 OS.
The company sent out press invitations Monday for an Oct. 25 event in New York City.
There, attendees will celebrate Windows 8, according to the invite, and officially welcome the new operating system into the world.
While PC owners have been waiting with baited breath for the new operating system, it's likely not all Microsoft has planned for the day.
We'll probably hear more about and perhaps even see some Surface tablets emerge as well.
Surface pricing, perhaps?
Microsoft confirmed in July that the operating system along with a Windows RT Surface tablet would be publicly released Oct. 26.
Another, more expensive Windows RT Surface tab, this one running an Intel Ivy Bridge processor as opposed to ARM chips, will launch in early 2013.
If anything, the Softies should reveal the pricing of its Surface slates, a detail they've kept mum about so far.
"Suggested retail pricing will be announced closer to availability and is expected to be competitive with a comparable ARM tablet or Intel Ultrabook-class PC," the company said in a July statement.
An online retailer in Sweden leaked pricing for the tabs, saying the 32GB Windows RT model starts around $1,000 (£650) and jumps to $2,100 (£1,389) for the 128GB Windows Pro version.
Microsoft hasn't confirmed any of this, though it did issue a statement in which it said it expects to "incur substantial marketing costs in launching Windows 8 and associated services and devices, which may reduce our operating margins."
TechRadar will bring you all the latest Microsoft news coming out of the Oct. 26 event, so stay tuned.

Many bloggers face the problem like less number of comments or no comments on their blog, despite useful and unique content. Reasons could be several, may be your blog comment box design, may be your blog loading time or most important you never asked them an opinion.
Your Post Starting and ending points are very important. A great starting means, you won the visitors heart, and a great ending means you won yourself a reader. A reader feel connected when you give them a personal touch or give them a way to put action. Made for Adsense blogs put this action by giving them an option to click on ads and get away, but I'm sure you want your readers to take action like adding comments or reading other posts as well.
The easiest way to convert visitors into readers is by asking them a question. Visitors spent 2-3 minutes reading your post and don't you feel you should ask him a question so that he can add his view into the post?
I have been practicing this way from long time, and I can see the increment in number of comments by asking them a question at the end of your post.
One of the big benefit of active posts (via comments) is; it attracts advertisers. Since such blog seems to be very active in terms of readers participation and activeness.
If you have never asked the question to your readers, you should start doing it now. The best way to ask the question is in between the post and most effective is after the end of the post. Any reader will take some action after reading your post, it can be clicking on your related posts or by answering the question if you have asked one.

Do you feel asking the question will encourage comments, or it may not work in some cases?

Why placing the computer in the living room doesn't work
When Mormon women are asked how they can protect their families from pornography, a common reply is that the computer should be placed in the center of the room. The strategy is essentially that of Foucault's panopticon. The assumption seems to be that the best way to protect families from pornography is to live in a bubble. But while placing a computer in the center of a room might have prevented children from going to certain websites ten years ago, we now live in the age of handheld devices. [Read more…]
Ads that don't suck
While recently visiting a commercial website, I noticed the following advertisement prominently displayed on the homepage:
You oughta be in pictures.
Two weeks ago, I got an email hinting at significant changes afoot in the Missionary Department of the Church. It referred to "a massive research/rebranding exercise" undertaken over the past year that has led to "some shocking and fascinating discoveries related to people's perceptions of Mormons," and a resulting new social media strategy centering on the relaunch of Mormon.org: a "progressive" approach that could "revolutionize" missionary work.
Yes, my hyperbole-meter immediately hit the red zone. But when it comes to institutional Mormonism I'm a sucker for all things progressive and revolutionary; plus, the email addressed me as an "influential blogger" and I certainly couldn't fail in my duty. So despite cynical remarks from my fellow BCC permas (who were clearly envious), I agreed to attend a preview meeting designed to leverage feedback from the Mormon blogging community. At the appointed time (roughly) I settled into my seat at the JSMB, regarded the suited array of Bonneville/COB guys, and silently challenged them to impress me.
And they did. [Read more…]
An Open Plea for Marital Advice
This post comes from mmiles, who has posted earlier at BCC (here and here), and who appears to have unilaterally extended an invitation to guest post to her husband. The BCC Subcommittee on Guest Blogging Ethics has been convened and is considering formal disciplinary action.
Last night my wife and I went to bed by eleven, but didn't fall asleep until well after midnight. It began with those subtle hints and gestures back and forth, as each of us tried to determine whether the other had the interest and energy to see it all the way through. But one thing led to another, passion and excitement surged, and we soon found ourselves in the throes of a heated Bible discussion. [Read more…]
Bloggernacle: Meet the Blogitorium
I'm pleased to introduce you folks to a group blog that friends of mine in the Community of Christ and I have recently launched. I believe this is the first Community of Christ blog designed on the model of BCC and the many other venerable group sites of the Mormon bloggernacle. Like Times & Seasons, the Millennial Star, the Juvenile Instructor, and Keepapitchinin (among others), Saints Herald takes its name from a historic Latter Day Saint publication. Published continuously since 1860, the Community of Christ's Herald periodical was originally entitled The True Latter Day Saints' Herald and through most of its history was published as the Saints Herald.
Although it's just getting started, I think there's already a number of contributors who have posted on topics you may find of interest. [Read more…]

The Rise of LDS dot Org and the Decline of Everything Else
The title of this post is a blatant rip-off of Hugh Nibley's The Rise of Rhetoric and the Decline of Everything Else. Nibley was working with a rather narrow definition of rhetoric and saw it simply as an insincere form of speech, what we today might call spin. It is my belief that the search function of the official Church website, combined with our native laziness, has brought about a decline in the quality of speaking and teaching in our meetings.

The southern suburb of Orelia has outperformed the rest of Perth during the June quarter, recording a 12.8 per cent rise in its median house price, preliminary figures from the Real Estate Institute of WA reveal.
REIWA president David Airey attributed Orelia's strong performance to affordability.
With a median sales price of $313,000, the battler suburb sat well below Perth's median house price of $475,000.
"People have cottoned on to the fact that it has great freeway access, it's a short drive to the train station in neighbouring Parmelia or to nearby Rockingham and the Cockburn Sound beach facilities," Mr Airey said.
"The area also has plenty of native bush, mature trees and well-kept parks and gardens which are great for families.
"But affordability has been the main driver. With houses for sale well under the Perth median price it's very attractive to first-homebuyers, in particular, who might be looking to buy an existing home rather than build."
Leonie Wood, of LJ Hooker Kwinana, said in addition to firsthomebuyers, Orelia had proved popular among buyers moving from other suburbs such as Leeming and Willetton.
"These are people wanting to reduce their mortgages but still like a good home," Ms Wood said.
First-time homebuyers Tennille Fuller and Peter Coetzee, who have a baby son Riley, said one brief drive through Orelia had them sold.
"After that drive I said, 'this is where I want to live'," Ms Fuller said.
They snapped up a five-year-old four-bedroom and two-bathroom home for $370,000.
"It was in our price range and there are a lot of new homes on offer," Ms Fuller said.
"We love the parks and there is a dog park down the road too, plus we're looking forward to the new (Kwinana Marketplace) being built, as it'll have a new library and shopping centre less than a kilometre from us.
"Also the train station is only a kilometre away and a bus goes straight to it so we can head straight into the city and Rockingham. We feel very central."
Figures for April, May and June also reveal sales turnover increased 25 per cent compared with the same time last year.Despite the boost in sales, the falling number of properties on the market was not being replenished by new stock.
Mr Airey said the number of homes for sale had dropped to just 12,150 at the end of June and currently sat at 11,000.
"This is well below the 14,300 properties we had on the market in March and sits below the equilibrium of around 12,000 listings, suggesting the market is swinging back to favour sellers," Mr Airey said.

BALANGA CITY—Credit advice checks were already released for the new 3,800 college scholars for the school year 2012-2013 covered by the "Iskolar ng Bataan" program.
Ramon Canas of the "Iskolar ng Bataan" office said the credit advice checks were distributed to new Bataan scholars in separate general assembly held at the capitol compound on weekends.
He said the "Iskolar ng Bataan" committee decided to give credit advice checks instead of cash to ensure that it will be used for tuition fee payment.
Governor Enrique Garcia and Bataan 2nd district Congressman Albert Garcia hatched the "Iskolar ng Bataan" scholarship program in 2005. Each college scholar receives P6,000 stipend per year. The stipend, divided into two, is released every semester.
Mayor Joet Garcia doubled to P12,000 the annual stipend of each college scholar covered by the "Iskolar ng Bataan" who are residents of Balanga City.
The college scholars of the Bataan scholarship program reach more than 12,000 a year including students at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) Mariveles campus. The Garcias also hatched the "Guro Iskolar" program for public school teachers in Bataan who want to continue their masteral and doctoral studies. ●–Butch Gunio
