To assessment growth physiological charachteristics of two hybrids of sweet corn affected different irrigation pattern and zinc fertilization, a research was conducted as split plot factorial experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications. Main factor included different levels of irrigation pattern included conventional furrow irrigation, fixed every other furrow irrigation and alternate every other furrow irrigation, also different levels of foliar application of zinc as lack of foliar application of zinc, use of Drop zinc sulfate (0.002 lit.ha
), use of Fast zinc sulfate (0.002 lit.ha
) and two hybrids of sweet and super sweet corn belonged to sub plots. The result of analysis of variance indicated the effect of irrigation pattern, foliar application of zinc, different genotypes and interaction effect of the treatments on all measured traits were significant at 1% probability level. Dual interaction effect showed maximum rate of all physiological indices belonged to I
(Alternate every other furrow irrigation, fast zinc spray), I
(Alternate every other furrow irrigation, Challenger genotype), Zn
(Fast zinc spray, Challenger genotype). According result of triple interaction effect maximum rate of physiological indices such as leaf area index (4.227), crop growth rate (3.186 gr.m
.GDD), relative growth rate (0.189 gr.gr
.GDD), net assimilation rate (1.73 gr.m
.GDD), harvest index (53.03), chlorophyll a (0.299 gr.gr
FW), chlorophyll b (0.491 gr.gr
FW) and carotenoid (0.997 gr.gr
FW) belonged to I
(Alternate every other furrow irrigation, fast zinc spray, Challenger genotype). Finally use alternate every other furrow irrigation to conserve water along with foliar application of zinc (particularly zinc sulfate with fast zinc) led to stable physiological indices in stress conditions and it can be proposed to the farmers in markazi province at central of Iran.

The actress found the perfect resting spots for her Havanese, Leia
Kristin Chenoweth is so attached to her Maltese, Maddie, that she sneaks the petite pooch into Starbucks inside her purse.
The same doesn't work for the actress's new dog, Leia. The white-and-tan Havanese weighs 17 lbs., making her far less portable. Luckily, Chenoweth's mother is available for dogsitting when her daughter has far-flung engagements to tend to.
The only problem, though, is that there's another pooch at Grandma's house vying for territory, and the two dogs often struggle over who gets to own the bed. To help mitigate and mend fences between the pups, Chenoweth stopped by the LazyBonezz showroom in Manhattan to find a new bed. The high-end pet product company is famous for its unique bunk bed designs, which fit Chenoweth's needs perfectly.
Leia was at the showroom with Chenoweth to test out the various options, and they left the store with the Metropolitan bunk bed in red, as well as a single bed for Leia when she's home with Mom and Maddie.

Landon Donovan, the all-time leader in goals and assists for the U.S. national team, will play his final game in a U.S. jersey on Friday night in a friendly against Ecuador in East Hartford, Connecticut (7 p.m. ET, ESPN, Unimas). It will be a moment for U.S. fans to say thanks to Donovan, who is retiring from soccer at the end of this MLS season, and so it seemed like a good occasion to sit down with Donovan and give him the rapid-fire quiz on some of the superlatives from his long career.
• RAPID FIRE WITH: Luis Suarez | Zlatan Ibrahimovic
SI: What are your most memorable goals for club and country?
DONOVAN: For club, one is the goal in the 2001 [MLS Cup] final against the Galaxy with San Jose. Two is the goal in the 2011 final against Houston to win it. With the national team I have two: My first goal [ever] at the L.A. Coliseum against Mexico [in 2000] and the Algeria goal [to save the U.S. from elimination at World Cup 2010].
SI: What is the highest-quality goal you've ever scored?
LD: The one in the '01 final was pretty difficult to pull off. I scored a goal in the Under-17 World Cup [in 1999] in the semifinals against Australia that was one of the better goals I've ever scored. And if you can pull that video you've got talent!
(EDITOR'S NOTE: Challenge accepted!)
SI: Who's the best player you've ever played against?
LD: [Lionel] Messi. You play against most players, Cristiano Ronaldo included, and they're really good, but you still feel like you're on the same field with them. They're good, but it's O.K. With Messi, you felt like you're on the field and the guy is so much better than everyone else that if he wants to turn it on you have no chance. There's moments when Cristiano is like that too, but Messi, when we played against them, I just got that feeling. Like, there was one play when he dribbled through the middle and guys were trying to smash him, just kicking at him, and the guy just bounced off and bounced off, kept the ball on his feet and kept going. At that point there's nothing you can do. You're trying your hardest, and there's nothing you can do.
• WAHL: Unfiltered Donovan reflects, embraces future ahead of retirement
SI: Who's the best player you played against in MLS?
LD: I think the best player I've played against, although I didn't play much directly against him, was probably Jaime Moreno. I think he was a really underrated player in our league, the way he moved and just his balance and things like that. He was probably the best I ever played against in this league.
SI: Who's the player you've most admired?
LD: This is going to sound weird, but probably Frank Lampard. And I say that because I like the way he went about his life. You never heard stories about him, he was never in the tabloids, his effort was always good, he was a winner. He did things right. He cared about the club he was at. I think he just did things the right way, and I always admired that.
• WATCH: U.S. Soccer's touching tribute to Donovan
SI: Who's the toughest defender you've ever faced?
LD: Lúcio, for Brazil. He just physically was so imposing, so even if you had the ball and went near him, he was just so powerful and strong that if he wanted it he'd get it. And conversely, when he had the ball you had to do so much work to defend, it was impossible to get the ball.
SI: Who's the toughest goalkeeper you've ever tried to score on?
LD: Oliver Kahn in [World Cup] 2002. I had my chance. That's the best save I've ever had against me.
• STRAUS: Donovan defied detractors to seal legacy
SI: Who's the best teammate you've ever had?
LD: Three come to mind. Frankie Hejduk, just because he was so selfless. Kyle Beckerman, similar, just a great guy, a guy you wanted on your team. And Brian Ching. We just got along well. We understand the game the same way. I really enjoyed playing with him.
• WATCH: Hejduk goes nuts for Columbus Crew's new logo
SI: What's the best advice you ever got?
LD: That's an easy one. My mom always said to make sure you're having fun playing, and you're not having fun then don't play. Simple as that.

The Standard Deviation is used to measure the intensity of the market's fluctuations by calculating how much prices are deviated from their Simple Moving Average. If the standard deviation is high, then it indicates a big fluctuation in the price movement, which also indicates that the price is dispersed from its moving average. If the standard deviation is low, then it indicates small fluctuation in price the movement and so, the price is fairly close to its moving average. The Standard Deviation is used in FXLORDS' Managed Forex Accounts, Forex Trading Signals, and it is among subjects discussed in the Training Course.
In statistics and the probability theory, the Standard Deviation is considered the most commonly used statistical measure of dispersion to measure statistical scattering.
Meaning of dispersion can be explained with the following example: numbers 9,10,11 have an average of 10, which is the best value to present this group. Numbers 8.10,12 also have an average of 10, as well as 6,10,14, and so the average is just not enough in giving a precise definition of a data set and so, statisticians suggested introducing the Standard Deviation and other indicators to reflect the extent of dispersion of a data set.
This indicator can help you decide whether volatility is likely to increase or decrease. A very high standard deviation reading indicates that a huge price change has just occurred, but that a decrease in volatility could soon follow. A very low reading indicates the opposite.
The increase in the number of market participants can be clearly seen through the high trading volatility in the markets, and therefore, the indicator can be interpreted quite easily:
• If the value of the indicator is low, which means that prices are not active, it is only logical to expect intense fluctuation in the near time.
• If the value of the indicator is high, then it means that the price activity is intense, as in the case of the price penetrating support and resistance levels.
Typically, this indicator is used as a part of a trading system, the most used indicator with it is the Moving Average. In this case, a high Standard Deviation reading when prices are far from the Moving Average means that prices are far from their average and they should go back to the Moving Average. On the contrary, if the Standard Deviation reading is low then the price will stay moving the same way it is.

Wow! I love it. The video is awesome. Worth every minute! I am so excited about what you are doing and gladly commit to praying for Q daily.
Comment by Rick Hamilton — September 20, 2013 @ 5:02 pm
I love what you're doing guys. It's fresh, real and seems to me to be very much at the heart of what we mean when we talk about 'grace' – which at the end of the day is all there is really I suppose.
I'm in N Ireland, and part of a tiny little group that aspires to pretty much the same values and ethos …. on the same journey I suppose.
Comment by Ian Mitchell — January 18, 2014 @ 10:35 pm
Rick, I'm late on this one, but we love you & are so glad you're in this with us.
Ian, so nice to connect with you all the way in N. Ireland, and guess we shouldn't be surprised that grace is leading us in a similar direction, hey?! Wonderful to hear of your group, thanks for taking the time to write us.

Just meet with Jennifer, one of Q's leaders, and the energy that she exudes is contagious. And while my Sunday's are rather full, being a minister myself, I cannot wait to I have a chance to visit with this faith community again! After viewing the video I cannot help but feel them to not only have hearts saturated with the Spirit, but they seem to also be "wide eyed" in their contemporary approach to our ancient traditions.
Way to go Y'all !

Danah – thanks for your encouraging words. Can't wait to have you!

Love your message and commitment to the lgb community
As a proud mother of an amazing gay son I will be passing on your message
Comment by Heather — February 11, 2014 @ 4:49 am
Thanks Heather! We hope to welcome more people to Q including more of our gay brothers and sisters, so we appreciate you helping us to carry the message. It is hard to build trust, given all of the hurt and manipulation done in the name of 'the church', but we truly are a simple faith community seeking to find The Way together on equal ground with anyone who wants to join us.

I like this. I figured the Disciples would be up to something — good!

Hello "Q" community. I just wanted to send you something that was meant for the website and bulletin last Sunday, as I'm still smiling and feeling the joy of Jennifer's ordination ceremony itself. It was also wonderful to meet so many of you in person, and I just wanted to pass this on as a way of letting you know that you all continue to be in Campbell Stones prayers,… and even occasionally they hear about you as part of their sermons 🙂
Peace, and congratulations again to you Jennifer!
From this past Sunday service:
"Just this past Sunday we had the pleasure of witnessing the ordination of Jennifer Watts. This very special event was punctuated at the end by Jennifer serving for the first time at the Table as an ordained minister. I must say that there truly was something special about watching her execute this sacramental practice that is such a core part of our Disciples faith tradition. But, I believe that it was equally powerful that her message spoke to the fact that we, as Disciples of Christ, understand the Table is a place that not only welcomes all who come to it, but also that we are all equal in our qualifications to "serve" at the Table. Such a wonderful message for both "Q" and Campbell Stone communities, and one that should serve as a model for all churches desiring to deliver Christ's message to the people. This position of the Disciples not only serves to break down the needless hierarchical nature that has seemed to develop in the larger church, it also affords every member of the Body the opportunity to fulfill a sense of service. This does not mean that Disciples tradition undervalues the sacred nature of the table, to the contrary it uplifts that all who look to serve Christ are sacred and sanctified to God.
Comment by Danah Cox — July 10, 2014 @ 10:08 pm
Hello, I found out about your program through someone I met that is associated with the Pasadena Christian Church, which is apparently starting a Q group. Would it be possible to get more information on the 12-Step aspect of Q? We have a significant number of 12-step groups that meet at our church and I am curious how to translate that into a possible service. We are also one of only 2 ONA congregations in our geographical area so to incorporate all of that into one service would be a great future endeavor too.
Comment by Sherian Spencer — May 10, 2017 @ 9:54 pm
Hi Sherian,
I'm so glad you're inquiring about Q. Since your message we have posted our basic docs on the website and that should help in understanding a bit more about how the Steps are incorporated.
There are benefits for those that are already part of the 12 Step movement. We have found that once we are freed from our addiction there is more to our primary purpose beyond staying sober/helping other addicts, for example we have gotten to carry the message to those without identifiable addictions that come to Q experience the power of the 12 steps as a pathway to spiritual awakening. We have also gotten more involved in helping those around us, very similar to the early church. Q is affirming for the LGBTQ community, which is really needed in many cities around the world, and it is a safe place for anyone whose been hurt by the church, and finds a traditional service too triggering.
I hope this info helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. I have contacted you via email as well because of the late reply.

I first heard of Andy Ihnatko when I saw him on Robert Llewellyn's Carpool. By way of introduction, here's the episode.
I started listening to the Ihnakto Almanac podcast soon afterwards. His topics range from comics, movies, culture to technology and back again. I'm not interested on all of those subjects, but as I look back over the 68 podcast titles I now realise that I've been greatly influenced by his suggestions and I'm not even a comic book guy (more of a manga otaku). So far he has apparently influenced me to do the following actions:
- Bought Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs
- Watched Hugo in 3D (I never go to the cinema. Last film was Death at a Funeral, original not remake)
- Supported my local comic book store (Of course I'd support Dee's)
- Bought Stan Sakai's 47 Ronin… and wondered why comic books are so short!
- Considered buying The Big Bang Theory box set. (Channel 9 makes every one of their programs so uninviting on the promos that I'd not considered it worth watching. My PeopleMeter records and pristine remote control button will attest to that channel not featuring in my TV viewing.)
- Looked for an old DVD of Ground-hog Day
- And finally, while listening to the podcast, bought Jonathan Coulton's rendition of Sir Mix-A-Lot's Baby Got Back from iTunes to cock a snoot at his being ripped off by Glee and Fox.
If he calls for revolution, I'm not sure what I'm going to do!
Who thinks Family Guy stinks?
In his podcast No.67 God Is Great, Markdown Is Okay, "Family Guy" Stinks Andy let fly on the lazy humour of Family Guy. Listen from 15:40 "Stephen Freeman…" and the next 20 minutes. Andy explained why he stopped watching Family Guy and why it is racist, sexist and advocates violence against women and children.
In the spirit of his increasing influence on my life (spooky!) his rant made me think about the humour that I like and why. A lot of the comedy I like is edgy. Why do I like Harry Enfield when he says "Women! Know Your Limits!" but shudder at early Eddie Murphy (as even Eddie Murphy does these days) that is vaguely similar? Why do I laugh uncontrollably at the torrent of filth that is Derek and Clive? When Ricky Gervais defends the duo by saying, "Contrary to popular belief, swearing is both big and clever" is that justification enough?
Regular readers will know that I'm no shrinking violet when it comes to writing letters of complaint about offensive comedy. So I decided to comment (not complain) to some guy who does a podcast while thinking about why what I like might be offensive and OK at the same time…
#67 and Family Guy
[edited a bit to add videos and links and fix sppeling]
I'm with you to a point. I too can take only so much of Family Guy. When South Park deduced that Family Guy was written by manatees in a tank fill of balls, in which no subject no matter how pointless could be avoided, it was right.
But if comedians aren't lazy, then edgy material can be very funny. Apropos of Peter beating up Lucy being lazy and seriously unfunny… the funniest fight scene between a man and a woman is in The IT Crowd Series 3 Episode 4 "The Speech" when April (who used to be a man) and Douglas (who thought April said that she was "from Iran"). Their brawl is so violent that they destroy "the Internet". That, or the sex scene in "The Tall Guy".
There's lots of humour that is not racist when taken in context. Racial, but not racist. Dave Chappelle's comedy is racial in context, but not racist. He uses stereotypes and "edgy" material to help us in the audience think and talk about the issues. Or just laugh.
"Stereotypes are a real time-saver" – The Onion
Hung Le is a Vietnamese-Australian (you know… dreadlocks, plays the violin http://www.hungle.com.au/ ) who is also racial. He is self-deprecating (like most Australian comedians) but not self-degrading. Both Dave and Hung exploit our knowledge of stereotypes to make their gags work, but they're not inviting us to think of them as bound by those stereotypes. I'm guessing that a doctrinaire racist would not find their humour funny because it is more empowering than degrading.
"How do you know when your house has been burgled by a Vietnamese person? Your dog is missing and all of your homework has been done." – Hung Le
Adam Hills was born without a right foot and does a mean impersonation of the T-1000 Terminator in the liquid nitrogen. He's has been around for a while but his coverage of the 2012 London Paralympics on "The Last Leg" has broken down a lot of barriers. (Arguably, the "Meet the Superhumans" advertising campaign for the Paralympics and then the Paralympics did the heavy-lifting first and then The Last Leg hoped through the rubble.)
Years ago he joked to some maimed veterans of Afghanistan and Iraq that '…[your country] is going to have the best Paralympic team in 2012!", to which some "normals" overreacted. But the soldiers themselves shared his view and some even looked forward to competing. The Last Leg was sometimes awkward to watch, but was always funny.
"What an amazing country Canada is. They're bilingual, they have same-sex marriages and they have Braille on their banknotes. Canada is the only country in which two blind French lesbians can get married and pay for it in cash." – Adam Hills
Watch Monty Python or The Goodies or the Q series from Spkie Milligan for a lesson in how not to write for female characters. Funny shows, but their humour was of a very different time. Sexism by omission? Can we defend the élite to make such jokes?
Apparently, yes. Derek and Clive (Peter Cook and Dudley Moore) were unremittingly offensive. When an older brother or older friend played you a tape of "The Horn" your mind was blown by inconceivably offensive material delivered by seemingly well-educated people. What other comedians would use the phrase "wandered out of the Garden of Gethsemane" in a dirty joke? Even some "right-on" and "alternative" comedians are like the rest of us in awe of their special brand of tasteless material covered in bits of sick.
CLIVE: No, no it said, "And lo! Jesus suddenly got the horn and wandered out of the Garden of Gethsemane and f….d himself stupid for twenty-eight years." And that bit got left out 'cause, erm, I think it was Matthew thought it would be a bad idea, bad for the image. – Peter Cook
Back to Family Guy… I agree that it is lazy comedy. It's like that time I thought that I was asking Princess Di "when is it due?" when I was actually talking to Mother Teresa.
I'll say it… "Ted" was a not a conventional rom-com, but it was a good-hearted movie. Seth MacFarlane can write good female characters. There… he doesn't have to be lazy. I even watched Ted again as the recent unpleasantness unfolded after the Boston Marathon as an odd form of tribute to the spirit of the city and its people. (And because I don't have Good Will Hunting on DVD.)
It is possible to be edgy, challenging and confronting and still be funny. Not everyone will find it funny and some may be offended. In the same way that your maiden aunt may laugh at a dirty joke that is funny and not laugh at a dirty joke that is just dirty.
And if nothing else, the paradox of Family Guy and similar programs on Fox and Fox News proves something about my erstwhile compatriot Rupert Murdoch… he's in it for the money.
I'm not quite sure what to make of Sarah Silverman though…
Worthy of a response
This morning I downloaded Dr Karl's Science talkback and The Ihnatko Almanac No. 68 Palpatine as Your Role Model over 3G; I'd forgot to sync while I was in Wi-Fi. I even tried waiting at my back fence to hope for some signal before the morning bus came.
On the way home I heard my letter mentioned. Listen from 50:40. I got home and sure enough, there's the email Andy sent to me.
So I thought, I'd better write a blog post about this. Because that's what Andy said I should do.
Let's give Adam Hills the last word.

Rhode Island opened the 2014-15 regular season with a convincing 94-54 win over Pace.
The Setters scored the first bucket of the contest at the 18:54 mark, giving them their only lead of the game. The Rams rolled the rest of the way, building as much as as 43-point lead midway through the second half (76-33, 10:51 left).
Rhode Island tallied 51 points in the first half - its highest point total in a half since tallying 52 vs. Maine in last season's opening night win.
Inside the Box Score and Beyond:

* Matthew Butler came off the bench to add 12 points - also a career-best. He was 4-of-7 from the floor (2-4 3FG) and added three rebounds in 17 minutes of play.
* E.C. Matthews (14 points) and Jared Terrell (11 points) were the other two in double-figures on the evening. Terrell earned the start in his first collegiate game, adding three assists, a block, and three steals in 21 minutes.
* Rhody had 18 assists on its 36 field goals, for an assist rate of 50%. They committed just 11 turnovers and tallied 11 steals.
* The Rams scored 25 points of Pace's 17 turnovers. URI also dominated in the paint, registering 54 of its 94 total points at close range.
* Jarvis Garrett had an all-around solid game in his debut. Coming off the bench, he posted a line of eight points, two boards, three assists and three steals in 19 minutes. He and Biggie Minnis combined for seven assists and one turnover.
* Earl Watson also saw his first action as a Ram, with eight points, three rebounds, and two blocked shots in 12 minutes.
Stats of the Day:
+23 - Rhode Island held a 25-2 edge in points off turnovers.

Developing a Fully Inclusive Social Insurance Model: A review by Social Partners of pointers to reform social insurance in a changing work and social context
Welcoming a report from the social partners prioritising areas of the social insurance system for reform, Minister Séamus Brennan, T.D., said today: "Our social insurance system has served us well, but we must ensure social insurance continues to meet the changing needs of workers and families living in Irish society today".
The Minister said: "The question asked of the social partners was how can our social insurance system respond to the challenges and demands of a new era of competing work and home life demands on one hand, while also ensuring the Social Insurance Fund is managed prudently, so that it can continue to meet the future social protection demands and the needs of an aging population. The areas marked out for priority action in this report provide pointers towards answering this question."
Referring to the analysis in the report of the Ireland's changing workforce over the past fifteen years the Minister added "I am acutely aware that as the needs of workers diversify, in terms of patterns of work and mobility, improved forms of social insurance protection become increasingly important. There is a need to continue to modernise our social insurance system, so that society as a whole can continue to enjoy the necessary levels of social protection. To do this, we must ensure social welfare benefits are co-ordinated with active labour market measures and they do not create unnecessary barriers to flexibility in working needs."
Minister Brennan added: "The social welfare system is legally and administratively complex. Progress must be well thought through to ensure all measures advanced will meet their objectives. However, the proposals presented in the report are now being examined within the Department with a view to bringing forward recommendations for change shortly."
A Working Group to develop a fully inclusive social insurance model was first established in 2002 under the PPF and continued its work under Sustaining Progress. The report, in brief, includes:
The Working Group included representatives of ICTU, SIPTU, INOU, IBEC, IFA, ICMSA, CORI, Children' Rights Alliance, National Women's Council of Ireland and officials from the Departments of Finance and Social & Family Affairs.
The report is available on the Department of Social and Family Affairs' website at http://www.welfare.ie/publications/fisimrep.html.

Show 9 hole scores separate from 18 hole scores
Most of my rounds played are only 9 but the first time I entered a round of 18 it erased all my 9 hole stats and only shows my season total as one round played. It would be cool if you could toggle and see your season stats compared by 9 or 18 so I don't feel obligated to set up two separate rounds of 9 in order to keep my season stats intact.17 votes
Clubs used per hole
I think it would be neat if you could record what clubs you used on what hole. For instance, on a par 5, you would choose that you tee'd off with your driver, then hit next with a 3 wood, then hit next with a 9 iron, and then the number of putt features is already there so obviously you used a putter after landing on the green. I would like to be able to see what clubs I used in previous rounds to make slight adjustments.37 votes
Thanks Matthew. We'll look into this!
Apple watch - tempo calculate , ...
Sorry for my bad english but i have an idea for you guys:
I will have my apple watch soon, but for your software that coming up, it will be nice to get statistic like tempo and that following idea that doesn't exist anywhere.
The apple watch technology have a large possibility. My suggestion is to get a vibrate alarm on the apple watch to help the golfer during the backswing to get the distance target. That will be possible by creating an average database for every clubs, irons, ... The apple watch can recognize the backswing, so the golfer have only need to set the club before the swing. So, if the target is 75 yards, they will suggest to the golfer, the club, the % of the swing and to help the golfer on the swing, the golfer will feel a vibration on the apple watch to indicate that is time to stop the backswing. On a practice swing that can help a lot before to hit the ball. After that, you can disabled easily that function when you're ready to hit the ball.
Thanks for your attention!

Add Crumlin Creek Golf course in London, ON
Crumlin Creek is a little 12-hole course near the London, Ontario, airport. It's not a conventional course, but it's good for a quick round. Also one of the few places with "golf boards" in the area. Would be nice to have it on the app since I play it quite often. Not sure how to accommodate the app to allow 12-hole courses though.9 votes
Hay team. Love the app all the way from Australia.
I would like to see drops added to the scoring system. Also sand, water and ob would be great so you can review your errors after the round.
Great app, keep up the good work.4 votes
Add home course hole statistics
It would be nice to see per hole stats for a home course. There's a suggestion for stats per par 3/4/5 which would also be great, but being able to see what you average for score, fairways hit, gir and putts per hole would very very insightful.1 vote
Good idea. We'll have a look at this!
Tracking greens more in depth
An option to track missed greens more accurately. Bunker scrambling. Missing long, left, right, or short. It would also be amazing if there was a way to record what clubs you used so when you look at career stats you can see that your gap wedge consistently puts it closer than your 60.14 votesPlanned · AdminAdam MacDonald (Admin, Foursum Golf) responded

So here's a new kind of But What Do You Eat post for you. Up until now, I've showcased all home cooked, carefully weighed and calculated days. But let's face it, not every situation in life is going to call for this sort of precision. So today, I'm going to make things a little complicated. I'll still be cooking at home, but I'm going to get a little more estimate-y on you.
Also I want frozen yogurt and I've been holding out on it for a week because usually I'm too lazy to put pants on and drive to get it in the evening, but I know tonight I'll do it. I believe in myself. I can do this. Pants.
This is also the first post I'll be making where my calories are quite high, for a person of my size, perhaps. My lifting days right now have my macro goals at 120P/315C/47F- well over 2100 calories. And I will fully admit, I'm struggling to hit them most days, ending up with sometimes 600-900 calories left after eating dinner, resulting in massive, massive "desserts," which typically include a protein bar or Greek yogurt, fruit, and cereal. One gets so accustomed to eating low calorie, voluminous foods that it becomes difficult to break out of that and eat more calorically dense foods- we are, after all, creatures of habit. BUT when the goal is gain muscle, eating a little bit more is key!
I woke up feeling creative, so after hitting my squats like a boss, I stopped at the bodega to pick up a couple of ingredients. I had pressed some tofu yesterday and threw it in some marinade before hitting the gym- some soy sauce, a bunch of chopped lemongrass and garlic, and a bit of rice vinegar. I was craving a banh mi- my favorite sandwich (YES even above a turkey sandwich!) something fierce! The bodega didn't have any daikon, so I ended up with a fusion banh mi, using jicama instead, and a bolillo instead of a baguette. Vietnamexican!
The tofu is pressed overnight, cut into 8 flat squares, marinated (I did not count the marinade in my calculations- honestly the amount of low sodium soy sauce it soaked up would have been negligible, and the rest of the ingredients were calorie-negligible as well, so there's no need to complicate it), and baked at 250 for… I have no idea how long. Just look at it. It takes a while, but it's totally worth going low and slow because it gives the tofu a nice non-squishy, substantial texture. On top, some quick pickled veggies- thickly matchsticked carrots, red onion, cucumber, and jicama with some pickled jalapeños (I always have a big jar in my fridge- they're super easy to make and make everything so, so delicious), soaked in some of the jalapeño juice, some fresh cilantro, and of course, Sriracha.
The bolillo roll was the only thing that gave me some trouble estimating. I didn't buy it in a package- it was made fresh moments before I bought it at the panaderia. As usual, I took to the internet and my LoseIt app. I checked a few entries on LoseIt to see what an average bolillo looked like, in terms of macros. Having been at this weighing and measuring game for a while, I have a pretty decent idea of what a food should have in it. Then I took to finding an entry that had a weight attached, and weighed my own bolillo. It was a whopper, at 131g. What I found was a Market Pantry bolillo that weighed in at 57g. Doubling this, the macros seemed to match up pretty well to what I anticipated, so I simply entered 2 servings of that entry, confident that it was close enough.
Would I do this on contest prep? Probably not within the last few weeks. But right now, a few calories in ore direction or the other is not going to make or break my diet or my physique. And this sandwich is freaking amazing.
Oh yeah- and this cookie. OHMYGAWD THIS COOKIE.
MyProtein sent me some stuff to try recently, and I have to say I was skeptical about this cookie. Having been let down by every flavor of a very popular "protein cookie," I did not have high hopes for these. And the macros made me even more suspicious. If that other brand couldn't manage to be good at the crap macros it had, how on earth could these cookies be good with macros of 10F/20C/37P?
So I ate half of one, just to try it.
And they are MAGICAL. So soft, flavorful, and satisfying- these are chocolate mint and they are SUPER minty. I can't wait to try the other flavors!
- 120P – (34)= 86 remaining
- 315C – (91)= 224 remaining
- 47F – (15)= 32 remaining
Having had a biiiiiiiig satisfying breakfast sandwich, and planning to spend a bunch of time cooking dinner, I didn't feel much like lunch, just a bit of a snack. Of course, I can't leave the bodega without fresh ceviche, and I had stopped this morning… so ceviche with jicama slices was readily accessible, and so, so delicious.
Straight from the container, on the scale, no shame. I'm the only one in the house that eats it anyhow.
I started cooking dinner while I was eating my ceviche. I had some pork stew meat that I had bought on clearance (don't judge- the clearance meat section is great for when you want to feel creative on a deadline. I've bought all kinds of things I otherwise wouldn't have, and most have turned out awesome!) and wanted to take a second stab at adobada. I even picked up the proper dried peppers for it- Guajillo- when I picked up all the other things I needed for the previous meals.
- 86P – (14) = 72 remaining
- 224C – (28) = 196 remaining
- 32F – (0) = 32 remaining
Now, I've been asked a couple of times about my adobada, having mentioned it before. Unfortunately, my recipe is sort of not a recipe. It just happens organically on this one. Each component is negligible in calories- dried peppers, chicken stock, vinegar, spices… so I sort of eyeball and estimate, which is not typical for me on ANYTHING, but, works for the adobada for some reason, and I'll try to give at least a vague idea of how it goes.
KIND-OF-THE-RECIPE: I began by toasting my peppers (about 4 of them) in a pan with a tiny bit of oil until they smelled spicy. Then I covered them in about 4 cups of chicken stock, a splash of white vinegar, and a squirt of lime juice, as well as 4 whole cloves, a few pieces of orange peel (I dehydrated some and keep it in a jar in my spice cupboard just to have on hand, but fresh would be great, too, or 1-2T orange juice), and once it got to a boil, turned the heat off and covered it for about 10 minutes.
While my peppers were hydrating, I patted my meat dry, then seasoned with a mix of salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and oregano, then working in batches, slightly browned it. That Maillard reaction makes food taste so much better! Straight into the crock pot with the meat! In the browning pan, I tossed a whole onion, sliced, and a couple of bulbs of chopped garlic before tossing them into the crock pot as well, along with a bay leaf.
Once the peppers have sat for a while and softened, I removed the aromatics and put the peppers, along with about 1/2C of the fluid, and one or two canned chipotles in adobo in the blender, adding more liquid if needed, until all of the peppers are liquified. The sauce then joins the peppers and pork in the crock pot, which is turned on high for four hours, stirring a bit as needed if you, like me, like to just fuck with things that don't need to be.
Once the house smells amazing and the pork is super tender, take it out, shred it with two forks, and serve atop corn tortillas with some green cabbage (I don't think that's traditional, but I like a little crunch in my tacos), chopped onion, cilantro, avocado, and queso fresco!
We also had some cilantro lime rice- just make some rice, and stir in some lime juice, a little butter, and fresh chopped cilantro- as well as some black beans, which I served in some of the spicy sauce from the crock pot.
Not my most aesthetic dinner, or my most precise recipe, but goddamn delicious!
My mouth pleasantly burning, I took to my app- did I have enough macros left for frozen yogurt?! would I have to put on pants tonight?!
Macro-math: using the "remaining" macros after calculating post-lunch
- 72P – (39)=33 remaining
- 196C – (83)=113 remaining
- 32F – (15)= 17 remaining
Oh yes. Plenty of room. Lactaid and pants, it is! I stuck my smallest scale in my pocket, and off we went.
I happen to know that Yogurtland posts their nutritional information by WEIGHT, which is absolutely incredible, ad a fairly new development. Previously, I had to do a bunch of math to figure out the difference between an ounce by weight and an ounce by volume, and it made it almost not worth it to know exactly, unless I was prepping, so I'd do a close estimate. But Yogurtland saves the day, and we head there, already having entered 9 ounces by weight of frozen yogurt into my app, and having a bit of wiggle room left for toppings. Because I was going to fall slightly shorten protein, I asked my husband if we could come home and have froyo while watching an episode of Anthony Bourdain that I had found- we are planning a trip to Australia next month, and I always watch any of his shows about a place before we go. I wish there was an episode of The Layover for Sydney or Melbourne, but, Parts Unknown will suffice. One home, I'd pop a couple of Think Thin Protein Bites on top of my froyo to account for some of that protein, and increase the deliciousness.
I also chose a little bit of crushed Butterfingers, some Reese's, and like 3 mini caramel cups. Because YOLO. Usually I stick some fruit on there too, but the salted caramel praline and cookies and cream frozen yogurt base didn't lend itself to fruit so much. I chose both fat free options, with 40 calories per ounce.
Now, before I even leave the yogurt shop with my green plastic spoon (Zack always lets me have the green one, even if the other one is pink, because it's my favorite!), I know that I haven't hit my macros as closely as I normally do. But I'm not upset. I'm eating frozen yogurt, and I made some incredible food. I'm happy. I'm happy to have done these things and still managed to stay aware of what I'm eating and how much. Let's see the math, with dessert:
- 33P – (23)= 10 remaining
- 17F – (16)= 1 remaining
I missed my protein by a little bit, and went over the same number of carbs. Seeing as both carbs and protein are 4 calories per gram, I've managed to stick to my overall calorie goal for the day, even if the macros are slightly off.
Do I punish myself for this? Absolutely not. We laugh and laugh about the tiny lambs hopping around with Anthony Bourdain, enjoying our dessert, knowing that he's for sure going to eat one of those adorable creatures, but that I will likely NOT be joining in the lamb feast in Australia.

Rand Paul trying to strip funding for transportation alternatives, direct it to fixing bridges for cars
The transportation alternatives fund wasn't very big, and it wasn't very good, but at least it was something that promoted cycling, walking and alternatives to driving. Now as a new transportation bill wends its way through congress, Senator Rand Paul has added an amendment that would strip all funding for alternatives and apply all the money to fixing bridges. DC Streetsblog is confused.
Bridge repair certainly could use some help, seeing as MAP-21 dramatically shrunk the amount of money earmarked for keeping the nation's bridges in safe operating condition. But his idea of a solution is beyond misguided. Half of TA funds go directly to the hands of local communities to use as they wish, a process any devolutionist fiscal conservative should appreciate. The other half can be frittered away on anything a state wants.
The League of American Bicyclists urges you to " contact your Senators and ask them to save Transportation Alternatives by voting NO on amendment 1742.". More information here.

The INSIDER Summary:
- A Wisconsin man served as the "flower man" in his cousin's wedding
- The crowd loved his swagger as he walked down the aisle and did a "Lebron powder toss" with the flowers at the end.
- His cousin and her new husband loved it, too.
When his cousin Andria wanted Patrick Casey to be involved in her wedding, he offered to do so in the most adorable way possible by acting as the wedding's "flower girl." And he went all out.
28-year-old Casey, who BuzzFeed reports runs his own PR firm in Wisconsin, walked down the aisle spreading petals using the same basket that Andria used 20 years before in a wedding they were both in together.
A video of Casey's walk down the aisle, which has already racked up thousands of views, shows his dignified flower tosses and ends with him pulling more petals out of his pockets to perform a "Lebron powder toss" at the end. The crowd totally ate it up, clapping for him as he joined the rest of the wedding party at the alter.
And while you might think such a stunt would upstage the bride and groom, Casey told BuzzFeed that the couple loved his flower man performance and that it added some levity to their big day.
"They FULLY encouraged me to do all of this. I would have never done anything to take attention away from them if they didn't want me to," he said.
An article from The New York Times said that Casey is not alone: the "flower man" is becoming more and more common as couples break out of traditional gender roles. So if you're planning a wedding, you may just want to expand your search.
You can watch the full video of Casey's walk down the aisle below:

Once you enter turtle bay, it tries to force its way down your throat and and wont leave. It feels false, like a white ginger Bob Marley. I ate there on friday night, and the best way i can describe it is Mcdonalds with a caribbean theme. It is cheap processed food marketed as authentic caribbean....but its not. Its poo. I had a creepy canadian waiter that resembled a stick insect, who constantly rubbed his hands together and licked his lips as though it turned him on to take my money, and my authentic caribbean food was being cooked by some portugese blokes using British recipes. The combination of all this, the gormless english staff, the shit weather, rip off prices, crap drinks, i really felt like i was in the heart of the caribbean. I ate some of the chicken, it was dry and tasteless, and lacked the sophistication or the herbs and spices or flavour of REAL caribbean food, but still cost me twenty quid, and i had to endure the canadian stick insect bloke interrupting my meal every 3 seconds to see if i would buy some more food or some more drink, or some sauces to take home or some merchandise or anything that wasnt nailed down that he could sell to me. He was relentless and his breath smelt of poo. And he was not very observant. As I spat some of my chicken out with disgust, the waiter began telling me how beautiful the curried goat was, and when i was slightly sick on my plate, he proceeded and told me that there was a special offer on drinks. I groaned in pain and pushed him away but he kept springing back like he was on a bungee cord and relentlessly attempted to sell me more of what i did not want. On the drinks menu they sell cans of coconut water for £3, usually retailing for mere pennies, so if you are looking to get ripped off then please visit. I havent ever written a review before but i felt compelled too because my experience was so shit and i waited an hour and a half for food that made me sick. This is apparently a chain of restaurants and they appear to be looking to open many more sites, so i say to you all, if you would like to have a shit fake Butlins style caribbean experience that makes you angry and physically sick and leaves you feeling personally violated, then you will love Turtle bay. Thanks.ReplyDelete

French stocks hit 9-year high as earnings power European shares
[LONDON] French blue chips hit a fresh nine-year high on Wednesday, helped by a surge in the shares of luxury group Kering after it reported strong sales, while European regional indexes hovered near a 20-month peak.
The pan-European Stoxx 600 benchmark ended the session up 0.5 per cent as luxury stocks and financials underpinned gains, supported by a wave of earnings results that largely outperformed market expectations.
France's CAC 40 rose 0.2 per cent, building on gains made earlier this week after the investor-friendly centrist Emmanuel Macron progressed to the second round of the French presidential election on May 7. He is tipped to win.
"We have had 25 per cent of companies reporting, and a majority of those have beaten estimates," said Emmanuel Cau, global equity strategist at JP Morgan.
"Pretty much every single (piece of) eurozone data... has surprised to the upside, and this is driving upgrades." Kering was the top Stoxx gainer, up nearly 10 per cent and hitting an all-time high after surprisingly strong first quarter sales at Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent helped the company beat market forecasts.
"The (Gucci) brand has seen a significant acceleration in performance since the new creative director Alessandro Michele took over with his new collections, which are quite differentiated from the previous collections and from other luxury houses," said Matt Siddle, portfolio manager, Fidelity Funds European Growth.
"They appear to be hitting the zeitgeist at the moment."
Other luxury names across Europe rose on Kering's momentum, with Moncler and Salvatore Ferragamo among top gainers on Italy's blue chip index, and LVMH notching up another record high, up 0.8 per cent.
Shares in carmaker Fiat Chrysler soared more than 9 per cent after reporting an 11 per cent rise in first-quarter operating profit.
Fallers were led by Bic, which plunged more than 10 per cent to a more than two-year low, after its first-quarter net income and sales fell on weak US demand.
French software solutions company Dassault Systemes fell nearly 6 per cent, marking its worst day in six months after it announced single-digit growth in new licenses in its first quarter.
Analysts at Baader Helvea said this disappointed after double-digit growth in new licenses drove the shares higher at the end of 2016.
Credit Suisse, which kicked off much-anticipated results for European banks with plans for a US$4 billion cash call, rose 2.7 per cent, outperforming the regional banking index.
Regional banks supported European gains after Standard Chartered also posted robust results with profit doubling in Q1.
Likewise a 2.3 per cent rise in Deutsche Bank's shares sent Germany's DAX to a record high. The German lender is set to report first quarter numbers on Thursday.
Overall, first-quarter earnings for Stoxx 600 companies were expected to rise 5.5 per cent, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S data. Revenues are expected to increase 5.7 per cent.
That compares to the 11.4 per cent earnings growth expected for top US companies.

MIT is working with 3D solar towers to improve solar input and output efficiency. Researchers are working with nanoscale 3D structures to trap light and increase the amount of solar energy that it can take in. They are working on changing the shape of solar panels so the change of angle of sunlight won't decrease the amount of energy absorbed. This new shape has the ability to tap in 20 times more power output.
Researchers tested 3D modules using computer algorithms, various latitudes, seasons, weather, and conditions. This led to a shift in vertical panels to absorb more energy, allowing sunlight to hit the panels over time. The MIT team tested different shapes such as cube like modules, which offered a 10% increase in power output.
The only downside is the increase in the cost of production, though researchers think it would be offset by the increase in energy output.
