So many of us are conscientious of our calorie intake these days - and for good reason! We want to keep our bodies slim and trim, so that we can go through life light and healthy. Here are 15 healthy 100 calorie (or fewer) snacks that will satisfy your taste buds without weighing you down. Enjoy!
1. Stewed apple with cloves and cinnamon
Core and cut a small organic apple into four pieces. Insert a clove into each one and boil for five minutes. Place your stewed apples on a plate and sprinkle with organic ground cinnamon.
2. A handful of raw almonds with a sprinkling of sea salt
This is no-brainer. However, you'll want to pick out 22 almonds to reach exactly 100 calories. Place them in a bowl and sprinkle with gourmet sea salt.
3. 192 grams of air-popped popcorn with a teaspoon of melted butter and a dash of cayenne pepper
Place your popped popcorn in a bowl and add seasoning.
4. Small baked sweet potato with a teaspoon of melted coconut oil or butter
Bake a small sweet potato at 204 degrees celsius for approximately 45 minutes. Cut down the middle and let your coconut oil melt into it. Add a dash of cinnamon. Eat mindfully.
5. 17 raw pistachios (already shelled) with a drizzle of raw honey
This one is simple. Place your pistachios on a plate and drizzle with one teaspoon of raw honey.
6. Traditional hummus with celery sticks
Enjoy 32 grams of hummus with 128 grams of chopped celery.
7. Hard-boiled egg with your favorite hot sauce
Hard boil your egg and enjoy with your favorite spicy sauce drizzled over it.
8. Greek yogurt with a teaspoon of raw honey
Scoop out 96 grams of Greek yogurt into a bowl and drizzle with a teaspoon of raw honey. Stir and savour this sweet and creamy treat.
9. One half of a ripe avocado with a pinch of sea salt and juice of half a lime
This one is simple. Peel and seed your 1/2 avocado. Cut it into four slices and squeeze lime juice over it. Add a dash of sea salt.
10. Dark chocolate!
Need I say more? (Read the label to see what 100 calories looks like.)
11. 25 frozen grapes
Frozen grapes are a tasty little treat, perfect for the entire family. Simply freeze grapes for a couple of hours and you have a frosty healthy dessert.
12. A frozen banana whipped into "ice cream"
This is the perfect frozen treat. In a food processor, whip up your frozen banana until smooth and creamy. Scoop into a bowl and sprinkle a little cinnamon on top.
13. Blueberry lassi
In a high-speed blender, combine 64 grams blueberries with 64 grams Greek yogurt, a dash of cinnamon, and a splash of filtered water.
14. 256 grams of sauerkraut
Sauerkraut is so, so good for your tummy. You can eat a whopping 256 grams and still not reach 100 calories.
15. Two clementines with cinnamon
Peel your clementines and sprinkle with cinnamon. Enjoy!

Help... Sudden Death And Others Are Not Looking Well
Hi all, just when I thought things were going well, I have a sudden death and others are not looking good. The tank has been going about 6 months now and although I had the newbie problems due to a new tank set up, everything has been ticking over well since before xmas. In fact, 2 months ago, one of my guppies had 16 babies, another had 1 a couple of weeks ago nd then there was another couple of babies in the tank on saturday morning although I was totally unsure what they were and they had gone before I had time to section them off in a a baby net thingy. I lmy 2 blue acara in the week (both on the same day) and lost my black Molly yesterday and dont know why. The didn't have any signs of disease that I could see... no white spots, cotton fluffy stuff or tails disintigrated etc.
The today I come home and a couple of the guppies do not look well. One has spots and so do some of the babies, and although I think it could be white spot, I am unsure as a newbie. Another 2 guppies... 1 fan tailed and 1 blue tailed (not sure of the exact names) are loosing the colour from their tails in parts.
I'll give you a run down of the fish in the tank and water conditions in the hope that someone can help me. I will also attach pics via photo bucket as I tried to upload but it keeps telling me the file is to big. If you are unable to access then please let me know
Water parameters.
ammonia 0.1
alkalinity - 0
nitrate NO ppm 3 - between 250 - 500 colour
nitrate NO 2 ppm - 25
PH - bit lighter than the 6.4 marker
temp - 24
Hardness - lighter than the 0 marker
2. A full description of the fishes symptoms.
As above
3. How often you do water changes and how much.
Water change 20 - 25% every sunday religiously. I put a new fluval 3 filter in 2 weeks ago and the ammonia crept up to so i did a water change every 3rd day for past 2 weeks and ammonia came down to
4. Any chemicals and treatments you add to the water.
I add Nutrafin Water Conditioner Aqua Plus to the water that is being changed and Nutrafin Biological Aquarium Supplement also once a week at water change.
5. What tank mates are in the tank.
1 Clown Loach
4 cardinal tetra
2 dwarf gourami
4 guppies
17 baby guppies
2 small variegated platys
1 Pleck
1 albino catfish
2 .... cant remember what they are called... about an inch long, similar looking to tetra but shiny silver (sorry)
6. Tank size.
-17" X 9 1/2" Hexagonal per panel.
I feed them TetraMin Flake Food, King British Catfish Pellet Food for the catfish and aquarian growth flake food for the babies) morning and night but each 2nd day I give them a cube of Aquafresh frozen blood worms. My Plec wont eat the usual plec green disc but he loves the catfish food and is thriving (hes a beast!). No real plants.. all artificial plastic. Fluval 3 filter. I introduced the clown loach a month ago and my fish supplier warned me they are prone to white spot when moved. He did get a touch a couple of days later and I put white spot treatment in (1 dose). He's all cleared up now. My fish supplier said I must be doing something right if I my fish have given me 3 lots of babies but I must be doing something wrong if this is happening.. Please help as they are so precious to me
Welcome aboard.:wave:
Seems your tank is experiencing mini-cycles. Ammonia should be zero. The nitrites as well should be zero. I believe you made a typo regarding the nitrites. 25 is quite high for nitrites. This is probably .25.
As for the nitrates, are you sure it is 250-500 ppm? That is very high IMO.:blink: Do a 10-20% daily water change to dilute ammonia, nitrites and nitrates.
What plec and albino catfish do you have?
Now the sun fried my brain. I'm getting confused with what I'm reading.:crazy: :shake:
Blue has the general idea here, and in a smaller tank with a good number of fish, baby fish can sometimes cause that to happen. The sudden increase in waste levels from the new fish and the extra food can cause ammonia to spike, and it must cycle down. Small daily water changes are the best solution. From looking at the pics, I didn't see anything for obvious sign of illness other than suffering from the water quality. What I did notice is a very low pH level, and that could also be causing your unexplained illnesses/deaths. What test kit are you using? What is the temp in the tank?
What pH does your tap water read? If there is a difference in pH from tap water to tank water, make the water changes only 10% daily, so you don't bring the pH up too quickly and further stress the fish.

This is an amazing lipstick. The colour is absolutely gorgeous but it isn\'t for everyone. The colour is to bright for some and some people just can\'t wear colours like this. For me this colour looks really good on and is just amazing. The packaging isn\'y flimsy, which is good and the rest of the collection I didn\'t try but this lipstick is good if you want to try something different although it is discontinued.
By Jen 4 years ago.
Clearly this is not a color for everyone. It is different and eye catching but that is what most of us love about Mac anyway. The consistency is smooth and wonderful and opaque with one swipe. For most people this color requires a little creativity as far as lip liner and/or lip gloss but that's what makes makeup so fun. I haven't worn it a lot because it is a little high maintenance but I'm still glad I bought it. I pair it with NYX lip liner in Purple Rain and it looks awesome. It also looks good with pink and purple glosses.

On the Decision to Regulate Hedge Funds: The SEC's Regulatory Philosophy, Style, and Mission
Troy A. Paredes
Washington University in Saint Louis - School of Law
March 24, 2006
Washington U. School of Law Working Paper No. 06-03-02
In a controversial move in late 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) decided to require hedge fund managers to register with the agency as investment advisers. Until then, the SEC had largely refrained from ramping up hedge fund regulation, even after the collapse of Long-Term Capital Management in 1998.
Although this article takes some issue with the SEC's decision to regulate hedge funds, its primary focus is not on the particular costs and benefits of regulating hedge funds. The inquiry is broader: what can we learn generally about SEC decision making and securities regulation from the SEC's decision to regulate hedge funds now by subjecting fund managers to the registration requirements of the Investment Advisers Act? Since the SEC consciously shifted direction in deciding to regulate hedge funds - and in doing so overstepped the traditional boundary of securities regulation by looking past the ability of sophisticated and wealthy hedge fund investors to protect themselves - the hedge fund rule prompts reconsideration of SEC decision making, particularly in the aftermath of Enron and the other recent corporate scandals that marked the early 2000s.
Although nobody knows for sure what motivates a regulator, the SEC's decision to adopt its new hedge fund rule is consistent with two views - one political; the other, psychological. First, the SEC did not want to get caught flat footed and embarrassed again, as it had been by Enron, WorldCom, the mutual fund abuses, and securities analyst conflicts of interest; and second, after the earlier scandals, the risk of fraud and other hedge fund abuses weighed disproportionately on the agency, prompting it to act when it had not in the past. The particular concern is that such political and psychological influences result in overregulation.
This article concludes with a suggestion. To mitigate the risk of overregulation, the SEC should increasingly consider using default rules instead of mandatory rules. Defaults at least give parties a chance to opt out if the SEC goes too far. Indeed, in some cases, perhaps the SEC could exercise an even lighter touch and simply articulate best practices.

This week on "American Idol" we have judges' choice songs plus a song each contestant chooses. Are we finally going to see the giant nova of awesomeness that is Adam Lambert singing "Bohemian Rhapsody?" I certainly hope so.
Seacrest welcomes us to the stage with a "let's rock!" Because when I think of rocking, I think of American Idol. He also informs us that this is Idol's 300th episode. WOW. That is a lot. It doesn't seem like Idol's been around that long, but I suppose it has.
Danny Gokey, "Dance Little Sister" by Terence Trent D'arby
Paula got to pick Danny's song, which sounds about right. They're like magical little elves together. I have to confess, I don't know this song. The horn section is rocking, though, which I enjoy. Vocally, this is right in Danny's wheelhouse. He can be upbeat and dancey while only having to attempt about 5 different notes and repeat the phrase "dance little sister" 100 times in a row. There's also a dueling scat with the saxophonist. It's a very Danny performance. I didn't hate it, I didn't love it.
Randy calls it "dope," Kara says it kept him in his money spot (yes) but thought it wasn't memorable enough (also yes). She then suggests that he should've done earlier Terence Trent D'arby in "Wishing Well." Paula calls it "really good." Simon says that vocally it was good but the saxophone part was weird.
Kris Allen, "Apologize" by OneRepublic
Kris is at the piano, which is nice. I wish Mr. Allen enunciated a little better, he's quite the mush-mouth sometimes. Also, the falsetto jump on "it's TOO LATE to apologize" is not completely comfortable for Kris. He's getting up there but it's very weak. Other than that, though, it's nice. Just that: nice. Nothing crazy-good but not bad. Much like Danny. Somebody wow me!
Randy says this shows who Kris could be in the music business. Kara calls it "confident" but not a home run because he didn't make it his own. She then suggests he had done some earlier OneRepublic in "Mercy." Paula cites a "bum note" but then says she's proud of him. It's a whole lot of nothing. Simon gets at Kara for suggesting a song for Kris, then criticizing him for actually doing the song. It's not about defending Kris, though, it's about picking on Kara and I'm tired of it. Seriously, can they just have hate-sex already and leave the poor contestants out of it? GOD.
Adam Lambert, "One" by U2
The light guy, much like the smoke machine guy previously, has fallen asleep at the switch, leaving Adam as a blob of blue on the stage for the opening bars. However, that is a mere quibble because vocally it's very good. He has one of his best big notes, though it did sound like a female diva for a second there. My boyfriend likened it to 1990s Cher singing U2. But once again… nobody has wowed me yet. Everybody's been good, with Adam as the best, but nobody has hit a home run yet.
Randy didn't like how he futzed with the melody in parts, but still loved it. Kara loved what he changed about it and calls it "un-be-lie-va-ble." She then suggests he try some earlier U2 with "Beautiful Day." Paula and Simon both loved it too. It's a big love-fest.
Idol Gives Back Update: baby tiger, giraffe, weird acapella version of Toto's "Africa." No, but seriously, Idol Gives Back is great, good for them.
Danny Gokey, "You Are So Beautiful" by Joe Cocker
Sigh. I KNEW he'd pick some schmaltzy ballad. Danny is perched on the Anthony Fedorov Stool and I can barely hear him. Is anybody else having that problem? Also, this arrangement and his vocal embellishments are taking a nice song and turning it into some 80s power ballad. This sounds like it should be by Eric Carmen or REO Speedwagon or something. I am not a fan. Vocally, it wasn't anything special. Danny did not wow me tonight at all.
Randy says Danny can "really, really, really sing." Ummm… no. Kara says it was stunning. What? Were we listening to the same performance? Paula says it left her breathless and he infused his own elf magic into it. Simon didn't like the arrangement (YES), but he calls it a vocal master class. Oh, Simon. I used to like you so much, but this constant fellating of Danny is just gross.
Kris Allen, "Heartless" by Kanye West
Kris is singing all alone with just his guitar and a stark white light and it totally works. This is exactly the kind of acoustic jam Kris should be releasing on his album. His vocals are beautiful. I think this 100 times better than Danny's pooping on Joe Cocker. As far as I'm concerned, Kris played his way into the finals with that performance.
Randy says it'll be the toughest voting night because he liked Kris's version better than Kanye's version. Kara calls him bold, brave and fearless and wishes he'd done that with "Apologize." Paula cracks a terrible Simon joke. Moving on. Simon then says he had written Kris off but that it has all changed after this performance. Yes. Maybe I'll let Simon be my friend again.
Adam Lambert, "Cryin'" by Aerosmith
Hey, it's the earlier Aerosmith Kara wanted! It's interesting that Adam is doing Aerosmith, since Danny took Aerosmith and vomited all over it last week. You'd think after that debacle they would forbid Idols to perform their stuff.
Anyway, I'm a big "Cryin'" fan and I'm excited to hear Adam do it. But you know what? He embellishes it too much. The reason Steven Tyler works (most of the time) is because he has that rough, rocker voice. Adam's voice is almost… too pretty for this song. The bridge is great, the "now there's not even breathing room between pleasure and pain" part. I mean, it's good, but does anyone else know what I mean by his voice being too pretty for this song? It's just… weird.
Randy says he's one of the best ever on Idol. Kara marvels at the notes he hits and says "See you at the finals." Paula says he sets the bar so high that he should be collecting frequent flyer miles and that now he'll be flying for free everywhere. She's just… it's like a slot machine. Will it be three cherries that spew out or two oranges and a banana? Lord. Simon says it's safe to assume that he's sailing through to the finals, then cautions his fans not to be complacent with the voting or he won't be there next week.
Danny taking us to an 80s dance club and then an 80s power ballad, Kris outperforming Danny and it being a shame that he's going home, and Adam making them both look like amateurs even on a night where he doesn't wow me.

Kind of a quick question here. Is anyone running a tube preamp to the Asgard 2 and would it make any sense to do so? Just curiosity as I'm unsure about using a Valhalla 2 as a preamp. If I do get it, I'll be preamping to my Audiosource Amp 100 and my pair of ARX A2rx-c speakers. I've never heard the so called tube sound before but I've also not heard anything bad about it. I'm certain something I listen to would be benefited from it.
I've got the Bifrost Uber + Magni at the moment and I'm considering the A2. I'm also considering the Valhalla 2 to delve into my first tube amp. My headphones are only HD 598s so upgrading the amp isn't really necessary, but I occasionally want to use IEMs and I could really use the low gain setting. Until I get the funds for a HD 650 or more ideally a HD 700 I'm just toying around with the idea of a better amp now to power whatever I feel like playing with later and giving me a little more flexability in my choice of ear-wear.
So far I'm about 80% sure of getting the A2 but before I sneak some funds to have an equal sized stack I want to have my homework done. As the other heads up my main listening is to video games (Diablo 3 & World of Warcraft - I already love the soundstage in Diablo 3. It is greatly improved with the Uber over my onboard. No I don't use the 3d effects for headphone or gaming functions from software or a sound card.) and after that I do a lot of rock, metal, rap, and classical. I also enjoy youtube videos of guitarists, drummers, street artists, and singers. It's a wide range of things.
Interesting to hear that the HD700 is on your list as it seems to be one of those headphones with an odd sound signature according to many around these parts. I certainly haven't heard them yet, but I will soon as my local audio store plans to have a floor model available. I am curious for sure about them. Have you had a chance to hear the 700 yet?

Gmail app Vs Native Email app on S4
I just learned that the native email app on the s4 now does push for Gmail settings like the regular gmail app. I love it because I can now delete emails in groups rather than having to tap them individually. I know this is small to some but I love it!

Do We Have This Already? I looked on the politics trope page but couldn't find it. This is a trope for those well meaning but crazy individuals that take environmentalism to absurd and possibly criminal lengths, these people will bomb oil pipelines, violently disrupt development and accuse anybody who disagrees with them of being in the pocket of Big Business. Related to Animal Wrongs Group, and sometimes overlaps if they are making a fuss over wildlife in particular. May overlap with Evil Luddite if they believe that technology is inherently a threat to the environment and want to get rid of it. Was inspired by this Not Always Right entry.
Hello, Unknown Troper. You'll need to get known to lend a hand here.
Community Feedback Replies: 16
- The Prince Roger series features these as the villains opposed to the Empire of Man. They're an interstellar empire of environmentalist extremists who are a Strawman Political nation for the authors.
Is there anything to distinguish this from being Animal Wrongs Group But More So?
This is basically Well Intentioned Extremist. You almost say as much in the description. At best it seems to be an offshoot of Animal Wrongs Group.
The word "eco terrorist" immediately springs to mind after seeing the title.
- The Gaians in Freelancer fit this mold, staging murderous attacks on terraforming companies, polluting industries, their allies, and anyone else they deem an environmental threat. Even though terraformed planets were just lifeless iceballs before humans showed up, and most pollution is tossed into the nearest sun.
^^^^^ Environmentalists tend to be most concerned with wild nature -- animals, plants, whole ecosystems, air & water quality, global conditions -- whereas animal-rights groups are typically more focused on captive animals' welfare. There's some overlap, but also a lot of incompatible views; an Animal Wrongs Group, for example, might advocate releasing livestock into the wild, whereas Environmental Extremists would strongly object to turning them loose in a habitat where they don't naturally belong.
Evil Luddite, perhaps?
The terrorist organisation Force Three in Ark Angel. They turn out to be a subversion, as they're being bankrolled by Nikolei Drevin, and their environmentalist goals are just a Red Herring to stop anyone drawing a connection between the two.
@Broken Eye: Evil Luddite is someone who's anti-technology, not necessarily pro-nature.
Added note about Evil Luddites.
We have animal wrongs groups, but i think examples might cover all sorts of environmental extremists do to Trope Decay.
Eco Terrorist is probably a better name for this, IMO @captainsandwich: This seems like a worthwhile split.
Thirding Eco Terrorist. Literature
- The FROMATES (FRiends Of Man And The Earth) terrorist group in Oath of Fealty. They totally oppose the arcology Todos Santos and commit kidnapping, attempted arson, murder and attempted mass murder in their campaign to destroy it (and everyone living in it).
I'd agree that it's a worthwhile split, but I think the description should move away from Well Intentioned Extremist, or at least reference the differences. Just my thoughts though.
Probably worth a No Real Life Examples Please. Also, fourthing Eco Terrorist, as that's already a mainstream phrase. The group "Mother Earth" in Ben Elton's novel This Other Eden is an example. It turns out they are actually a sort of anti-PR wing for an oil giant.
