Banana Espresso Chocolate Chip Muffins

One of our major gripes about ?healthy? cookbooks is that they are often the culinary equivalent of kissing your cousin. The recipes kinda work, but the result is usually ?meh? food that celebrates what isn?t in the dish, and not giving you something that is healthy and tastes good. We think food, ?healthy? or not, should taste good and satisfy your soul. So when we recently got Heidi Swanson?s ?Super Natural Cooking?, we were curious to see how the recipes would turn out.

If you are unaware of Heidi Swanson, she is a successful food blogger and designer. Her blog 101 Cookbooks is a nationally recognized blog for simple recipes using sustainable, whole foods. We are fans of the blog and decided to give the cookbook a try. The theme of ?Super Natural Cooking? is the use of whole, natural foods in easy, basic vegetarian recipes. Think of the book as a solid introduction to the world of whole-foods cooking (and if you don?t know about ingredients like amaranth or quinoa, you soon will).

Happily, Swanson does a good job of providing simple recipes that highlight the natural ingredients, rather than trying to re-engineer classic dishes. We are moving through her recipes and they are clear, well-written and the results are tasty. One of the first recipes we tried from the cookbook were for her Espresso Banana Muffins, but Swanson notes that adding chocolate chunks is a good option- so we ran with that and adapted the recipe.

Banana Espresso Chocolate Chip muffins sound exactly like what they are. The ?natural? adaptation is the use of white whole wheat flour and cane sugar instead of their refined cousins white flour and sugar. The white whole wheat flour provides a slightly nuttier flavor than white flour, which is welcome in this dish, as it compliments the bananas. As for the use of cane sugar, most people will be hard-pressed to taste a difference in flavor. Cane sugar has more of the natural molasses than refined sugar and gives a bit of pleasant (at least to us) ?funk? to the sweetness of the sugar. To be honest, we use cane sugar syrup in cocktails all the time but could not taste it in the muffins. But this is fine, it just makes the point that cane sugar is a worthy option to replace refined sugar, if you are so inclined.

As for making the muffins, it?s a traditional muffin recipe. The dry and wet ingredients are combined separately and then the dry ingredients are folded into the wet ingredients. Mix as little as possible to keep the muffins from getting tough. Pour into cups and bake. The only ?extra? step is mashing the bananas, which takes less than a minute. And you can use a stand mixer, or not. Easy.

And very tasty. Our boys enjoyed the muffins for breakfast, and so did we. Sweet, nutty and with good texture and some richness from the chocolate, the muffins didn?t last long. The ?healthiness? or ?naturalness? of the ingredients didn?t come up. Now you might?say ?that?s just a muffin recipe with white whole wheat flour and cane sugar?. And you would are right. But that?s the point. Swanson?s recipes do a good job showing what you can do with ?whole? and ?natural? ingredients. And they taste good. We are all for it, and recommend you check out 101 cookbooks or ?Super Natural Cooking? if you have the time. Or just make these muffins, you will be happy.

Banana Espresso Chocolate Chip Muffins:

Notes Before You Start:

  • You can substitute white flour and white sugar in this dish, the color and flavor may be slightly lighter. But white whole wheat flour really is the better flavor for this dish. (King Arthur Flour is a good source for white whole wheat flour).
  • Swanson?s recipe includes 1 and 1/4 cups of chopped walnuts. Our kids don?t like walnuts so we omit them. If you want to include them, just add 1 cup of the walnuts to the dry ingredients and then sprinkle the 1/4 cup of walnuts on the muffins just before baking.

What You Get: Tasty, rich muffins that happen to come from white whole wheat flour and unrefined sugar.

What You Need: No special equipment required, but an ice-cream scoop or disher makes it much, much easier to put the muffin batter in the cups.

How Long? 60 minutes of total cooking with about 15 minutes of active time. This can be an anytime dish and is certainly a good weekend breakfast or brunch recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups white whole-wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (aluminum-free if available)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1 tablespoon fine espresso powder
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted, room-temperature butter
  • 3/4 cup natural cane sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 and 1/2 cups of mashed overripe bananas (3 large or 4 medium bananas)

Assemble:

  1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees and place the racks low in the oven. Line your muffin tin with 12 paper liners.
  2. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, chocolate and espresso powder in a medium bowl.
  3. In a separate large bowl or mixer bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla, yogurt and mashed bananas.
  4. Gently add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix lightly, until just combined, to avoid tough muffins.
  5. Spoon the batter into the muffin tin. Place into the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then remove the muffins from the tin and place on a wire rack to cool completely. Serve.

USC Dornsife Scientific Diving: The Navy Dive Tables

By Kaitlin Mogentale

If you asked me what my greatest fear is while scuba diving, I wouldn?t hesitate with my answer? the bends. The bends, or decompression sickness (DCS), is a decompression illness arising from the dangers of breathing compressed air at depth for prolonged periods, coupled with improper decompression or excessively rapid ascents.

A photo of the Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber, where bent divers are sent for treatment (Photo by Kaitlin Mogentale).

The most severe of symptoms are permanent CNS damage, and occasionally death. The dangers of improperly off-gassing after a dive have been (rightfully) drilled into my head during the prerequisite ENST-298 Introduction to Scientific Diving class.

In class we studied Haldane?s 1908 report on compressed-air illness to better understand decompression sickness. From Haldane?s research came an initial 2:1 rule. The rule states that so long as a diver remains within the ratio of 2:1 for the pressure at depth versus ambient pressure on ascent, he is safe to ascend without developing a case of DCS?although it is important to note that due to complex human physiology, there is no definitive point between avoiding and getting DCS.

Later extensive research at the U.S. Navy Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU) by Dwyer, Hawkins, Workman, Yarborough, and others from the 1930s-1960s arrived at more precise ratios using empirical data, focusing on the pressure of the inert gas in air directly involved in DCS, nitrogen. Workman?s model introduced M-Values (or greatest partial pressure of nitrogen a ?tissue? compartment can tolerate without the onset of DCS at a given absolute pressure) for each of 6 designated hypothetical tissue compartments with 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 80, and 120-minute nitrogen half-times. These 6 compartment half-times were calculated based on the capacity of the ?tissue? to store nitrogen gas, and the effectiveness of nitrogen transport to and from the tissue, such that:

Half-time= (1/c) x S/C, ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? (1)

where c is a constant of proportionality, C is equivalent to gas transport effectiveness, and S is the solubility coefficient for the gas in a tissue. A fast tissue with a short half-time corresponds to a well-perfused tissue, and perhaps lower fat content, as nitrogen is less soluble in aqueous tissues than in fatty tissues.

Haldane calculated the 5, 10, 20, 40, and 75 half-times used in his model based on their representation of what he theorized happens in the body. Haldane hypothesized men became fully saturated with nitrogen in 5 hours and that additional nitrogen loading after 4 half-times ?would scarcely be appreciable?. The final 75 minute ?tissue? compartment therefore corresponds to the fact that 4 x 75 minutes = 300 minutes, or 5 hours. The Navy Tables use Haldane?s calculations as the basis for their theoretical compartments, changing the 75-minute compartment to 80 minutes and adding a 120-minute compartment. The Navy assumed 6 half-times for saturation. The changes reflected problems associated with earlier US Navy tables that had used Haldane?s original five compartments in their calculation.

Workman?s M-values are based on a compartment?s nitrogen half-time and the pressure of the breathing gas, which is always dependent on depth. M-values are mathematically represented by the equation

M= Mo + ?Md,???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? (2)

where M is the nitrogen partial pressure limit for each compartment, Mo is the partial pressure of nitrogen tolerated at sea level, defined for each compartment, and ?Md is the increase of M with increasing depth, defined for each compartment, multiplied by the depth (in feet of sea water).

One simply divides the given compartment?s M-Value by the ambient pressure at sea-level to arrive at the permissible nitrogen pressure surfacing ratio, which is not constant across all compartments as Haldane assumed.

The studies done at NEDU over the decades discovered that faster compartments tolerate a much higher nitrogen pressure gradient than can the slower compartments. This difference can be accounted for in the greater solubility of nitrogen in slower tissues (or a low transport efficiency in those tissues), resulting in a greater molar concentration of nitrogen than the fast tissues. This is why model compartments representing slower tissues feature more conservative M-values and ratios than those representing faster tissues. Slower tissues ?hold onto? their nitrogen longer which places them at an increased risk for bubble formation. The M-values are called ?sliding scale M-values??each compartment has a distinct M-value at any given ambient pressure.

We will be focusing on no-decompression dives during the span of the ENST-480 course, so I will focus on using the Navy Dive Tables with no-decompression. M-values can be used to determine the maximum amount of bottom time that can be allotted at a certain depth without requiring decompression stops. For this type of calculation, the planned depth is converted to absolute pressure in feet seawater (fsw) and the partial pressure of nitrogen is calculated. If the M0-value for a compartment happens to be less than the absolute nitrogen pressure in fsw at that depth, the diver would use the following equation to determine the No-Decompression Limit (NDL on the Navy dive tables, or max bottom time without required decompression) for the dive:

t= [T/ln(2)] x ln[(P0-Pa)/(Pm-Pa)]???????????????????????????????????????????????? (3)

where t= a compartment?s maximum time at the planned depth, T= the half-life (in minutes) of the specific compartment, Po= initial nitrogen partial pressure in the compartment (at the surface at the start of the dive), Pa= ambient nitrogen pressure at the planned depth, and Pm= the M-value for the specific compartment allowed at the surface (or M0).

Once the NDL is calculated for each compartment, the one with the shortest time becomes the controlling compartment at that depth. The dive must not exceed the controlling compartment?s NDL at that depth to avoid required decompression stops. The Navy Tables round NDL?s down to the nearest 5 or 10 minutes, for easier memorization.

Pressure Groups and Repetitive Dives

After a dive, there is a certain amount of nitrogen left over in the various compartments (called residual nitrogen). With proper off-gassing, remnant nitrogen is not problematic to the surfaced diver. Residual nitrogen becomes important when a diver is conducting a repetitive dive.

Any dive completed within 12 hours of a previous dive is considered a repetitive dive. 12 hours has significance as the elapsed time before the slowest 120-min compartment is 98% de-saturated with excess nitrogen (the equivalent of 6 half-times). The Navy Tables use the 120-min compartment to track residual nitrogen. That is, the 120-min is the controlling compartment for determining the entering pressure group on a repetitive dive. Pressure groups are based on intervals of total air pressure in the controlling 120-min compartment. The total air pressure in the compartment is determined by

A(t)= Aa + (Aa ? A0)e-kt,????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? (4)

such that A(t)= total air pressure in the compartment, Aa= total ambient pressure, A0= initial load in the compartment. k is a constant determined by the half-life of the compartment, using the equation

k=ln(2)/T. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? (5)

In the case of the 120-min compartment, T would be 120, and k subsequently becomes 0.00578.

Using equation 4, the total air pressure in the 120-min compartment after a dive of given length and depth can be calculated. The pressure groups are designated by a letter, A-Z, and are identified by a range of total air pressure determined by the Navy. For example, the pressure group with the letter A corresponds to a range of total pressure in the 120-min compartment equivalent to 33-35 fsw. As the letters get closer to Z, the total pressure in the compartment gets higher. The entering pressure group for a repetitive dive determines the maximum bottom time for that repetitive dive, while taking into account the residual nitrogen time from previous dives.

Let?s use these equations to show standard dive table calculations:

A diver wants to complete a dive to 35 feet, without any required decompression. At 35 fsw, nitrogen partial pressure is 0.79 x (33+35)= 53.72 fsw. Compartments 5, 10, 20, and 40 can withstand pressure loading up to 104, 88, 72, and 58 fsw of nitrogen respectively (these are their M0-values). The 80-min and 120-min compartments have M-values less than 53.72, (52 and 51 fsw respectively) and therefore a diver can remain at that depth for only a limited amount of time until a decompression stop is required. Using equation 3, we can determine the maximum amount of time a diver can remain at that depth without required decompression for each of the 2 slow compartments.

t= [T/ln(2)] x ln[(Po-Pa)/(Pm-Pa)]

For the 80-min tissue compartment, t=320.8 minutes

For the 120-min tissue compartment, t=401.9 minutes.

In this case, the 80-min compartment is the controlling compartment. This means that the diver can stay at 35 feet for a max of 320.8 minutes without any required decompression (the US Navy Tables round this down to 310 minutes).

So let?s say our diver acquires a bottom time of 40 minutes at 35 feet.

Using depth equivalent pressures, A0= 33 fsw, k= ln(2)/120, Aa=33 fsw + the planned depth of 35 fsw=68, and t=40 minutes.

Crunching these numbers, we see that the diver exits the water with A(t)= 40 fsw, placing him or her in pressure group D. After some time on the surface (the diver?s surface interval time or SIT), the diver will continue to off-gas and can enter a repetitive dive at a pressure group lower than D. Using this information, a diver can determine the maximum NDL for the next dive using equation 3, incorporating the residual nitrogen into the initial nitrogen load.

The NAUI dive tables we use are much more conservative than the Navy Dive Tables but are largely based off of the Navy?s basic calculations and conclusions. It is important to understand the mathematics and science behind the Navy Tables in order to understand the NAUI tables.

Did paleo man get skin cancer? - PaleoHacks.com

I have pale skin and tend to freckle rather than tan. This in theory puts me at a higher risk for skin cancer. When I have prolonged sun exposure on lots of skin (e.g., beach), I do wear sunblock or I will burn. A very good friend of mine is a dermatologist and strongly recommends that I also wear some sort of sunblock on exposed skin all the time (i.e., moisturizer with sunblock on face every morning). I live fairly far from the equator (Michigan), so the sunlight is not so strong here.

What I'd like to believe is that the high levels of skin cancer today are driven more by poor diet, rather than sun exposure. And that eating a healthy diet (good n3/n6 ratio, not too much PUFA, healthy gut, etc) should be at least somewhat protective against skin cancer. Paleolithic man obviously wasn't wearing sunblock. I'm guessing he likely was exposed to sun a lot, too. Do we know if paleolithic man developed skin cancer anywhere near the rates we see today?

My friend also says that a tan or freckles are a sign of sun damage. Many on here seem to see a tan as protective, rather than damaging. Any thoughts on that?

I am not too excited about taking supplements and much prefer whole food. I had thought that Vitamin D was hard to get from whole food, but my friend claims that is not true either. Who is right?

I know I've seen at least one dermatologist posting here before, though I can't remember her name. Would be especially great to hear from some paleo dermatologists.

Decorative Concrete Floors for Your Home or ... - IdeaMarketers.com

Decorative concrete floors are becoming a popular choice among both home owners and businesses. With the new techniques being used, such as staining, stamping, and polishing, it is possible to get some great looks in a floor that will be more durable than more traditional choices.

Staining is a technique used on decorative concrete floors to bring out details and depth. Staining allows a home owner more options in the look of their new floor. An unlimited amount of colors and patterns can be created in this way. Lines can then be scored into the concrete surface to give a look of a tiled floor, design shapes into it, or accent a border. Once polished, these concrete floors will have the same great look as traditional tiles.

Decorative concrete floors can be stamped to look like tile or stones, depending on the desired look. Mats are placed over the soft concrete to imprint the selected pattern onto the floor. Once removed and dried, the floor will look just like freshly laid stone or tiles. This effect works well with many of the different decorating styles, including traditional, modern, and especially old world.

Concrete overlays are used to give an existing worn concrete floor a brand new look. If the current floor is mismatched, cracked, stained, or chipped, this is an excellent way to improve it. A new layer of concrete is spread over the old floor. This also allows a home owner to use stamping for a totally new appearance, or staining for a dramatic effect.

Microtoppings are used to rejuvenate sidewalks, driveways, decks, and patios. A concrete layer is applied over the old surface with a squeegee or a trowel. It can then be smooth with the trowel or brushed with a broom for more textured decorative concrete floors. These surfaces can also be stained.

Concrete polishing is one of the best choices in decorative concrete floors. It is the polishing that can give concrete the look of a tiled surface. It is a great alternative to marble or granite flooring because it achieves the same look at a much more affordable price. The polishing adds the shine found in these other flooring options. Compared to the more traditional choices, the decorative concrete floors will hold up longer, are more durable, and require less maintenance. They are a no-wax flooring option.

It is easy to see why decorative concrete floors are becoming a popular choice among homeowners. With the same great look as traditional flooring options, less care required, and much more affordable pricing, it is a perfect choice.

The most important Secret to Huge On the internet Information ...

Armed with only the trick you are about to read in this post, success in the challenging but extremely lucrative entire world of Internet Information Publishing is virtually guaranteed.

It is nothing brand new. In the offline submitting heydays, many smart publishers used the identical secret to maximize on the revenues and to make huge fortunes.

The whole secret is hidden in one simple question you should ask yourself. The question is;

What do you get?

A few practical examples have been in order here to be able to fully grasp this remarkable secret.

Tabloid publishers are between the most hated population group amongst celebrities. But many of all of them made huge fortunes by asking the simple question, what do I have how the public wants badly at this time? Rumors about some film star?s latest fling? Or some dirt brought in by an angry and money-hungry former employee associated with some famous person. Publications like The Country wide Enquirer, in the US and the notorious News of The World in the uk were able to efficiently answer this key question often. The result is that they could churn out stories that sold millions of copies of their publications weekly which put millions of dollars into their bank reports.

On The World Large Web, a virtually unknown business asked this critical query just six short rice. They found that they really had almost no. They had no Internet markets experience whatsoever. All they had ended up some marketing principles of which had worked offline. Direct marketing principles which is, which they had utilized to sell information products within the bricks and mortar globe. They were told the principles were useless online and won?t work. On the net a different set of rules employed, the experts told them.

They decided to give it a trial anyway. After all they had nothing to lose.

That small business produced $100 million in sales recently and is on track to boost that profit substantially in 2010. Now everybody is rushing to copy their model and you?ll find folks online now creating wealth by simply trying to teach the successful business model utilised by this small business to help others.

There is nothing wrong with doing this except that my view is that you?ll be bound to succeed faster and make much additional money by being you. The way to accomplish that is to ask yourself the straightforward question, what do you have?

What You Have Doesn?t Have to be Much

What you have doesn?t need to be much. We have already seen that in the earlier example of your own business that ended up growing into a multi-million shilling enterprise in a very short time.

Here?s a simple example which will apply to you.

All you may have right now may be a free-hosted website on relationships, for instance. Maybe you receive only a number of hits every day. That?s all.

Here?s what can be done however. The idea is to get revenue and create a new hugely successful information product or service from the little that you?ve got.

There are many methods become successful with your personal info-products. So, I?ve included some ideas and tips to assist you.

1. Create e-books for other web sites or businesses. You could create them for totally free in exchange for an ad or perhaps a mention of your web page inside. You could also create them in return for getting the reprint rights for many years.

2. Purchase reprint rights to other?s e-books and combine them in a large package deal with your own personal product. You should check using the reprint rights
owners to see as long as they will allow it primary. If you can?t afford to acquire reprint rights, you could always trade for them.

3. Allow people to use any freebies as free bonuses for offerings they sell. Include your ad on your complete freebies. Some people only give away freebies in order to allow other people the right to present them. You could also allow them to have
the right to add a freebie with their own product like a bonus. For example, ?Feel free to take advantage of this free e-book as an added bonus product! ?

4. Learn sales ideas coming from reading and studying other businesses? promoting material. It could be adverts, brochures, TV ads, sales letters, etc.
For example, if you see the attention-getting headline, rewrite it but don?t copy it on your own product. Another example, if you seen an ad using a persuasive ?before? and ?after? picture, maybe you could do that for your product.

5. Allow other people to present away your free e-book. This will increase the quantity of people who will see your ad in the e-book. You could also such as a mini catalog of all your services or products that you offer from the e-book. You could include your personal products or associate program?s products within the e-book.

6. Sell your own services or products. They should be linked to your target audience. You want to manage to take credit cards with your site and deliver your own product to them as fast as possible.

Use these tips well and you may become successful with your info-product.
