FORT BENNING, Ga. - Remember what your mother taught you about hitting girls' Combatives instructor Spc. Teddra Rodriguez wants you to try, but you better be prepared to defend yourself.
Rodriguez is the first female instructor at Fort Benning's Army Combatives School.
At 5-foot-7 and 135 pounds, Rodriguez is used to being underestimated on the mats.
Though shorter and lighter than most of her male students, Rodriguez said the differences are more of an advantage than disadvantage.
"A guy would use his strength against you, throw you around, try to wear you out. You have to take your time - they'll get tired - and if you wait for the right moment you can submit them right away," the instructor said.
The real challenge, Rodriguez said, is when your partner is female.
"You have to slow down. They are more flexible, so you have to be more aware of what you're doing," she said.
Staff Sgt. Chris Gordon, who conducts instructor training certifications and program management at the school, said Rodriguez's presence serves as an inspiration to other female Soldiers interested in learning combatives.
"It's not just for males. This program isn't just for those in combat arms specialties, it's for everybody," he said.
Rodriguez is currently training to become certified as a primary instructor capable of implementing a combatives program.
Rodriguez's presence serves to dispel stereotypes among students.
"When we have female students in the class, a lot of the male students tend to make it easy on them. We tell them 'you need to ditch that because if this female was to go up against a male adversary she needs to know that the techniques we are teaching her will work and will save her life,'" said Sgt. 1st Class James Baxley, Rodriguez's platoon sergeant.
"There's a sparring ethic that needs to be used. You need to use the appropriate amount of force but that means you still need to challenge your opponent," Gordon said. "If you're not challenging them, they're not increasing their skill sets, they're not thinking, not learning, not adapting."
Rodriguez said her interest in combatives started two years ago, after returning from a combat deployment and being assigned to the 1st Battalion, 11th Infantry Regiment, for a brief time. Sgt. 1st Class David Steinbach, her first sergeant at the time and now assigned to the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, motivated her to start attending schools. After going through level one training she "got hooked."
"He played a huge part in me getting through combatives and going through Airborne School," said Rodriguez, who asked him to pin on her Airborne wings last year.
In 2010, Rodriguez certified in combatives Levels 1 through 4 and was assigned to the school in November.
In her down time, she trains at two off-post gyms, is learning Jiu-Jitsu and raising three children with her husband, Staff Sgt. Joe Rodriguez.
She competed in the North American Grappling Association's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament Feb. 12, placing third in the Women's Gi Novice White Belt Lightweight division.
Rodriguez is looking forward to the Fort Benning and All-Army combatives tournaments. As an instructor, she's not eligible to compete, but may serve as a referee.

Victoria Beckham in Victoria Beckham Mid-Rise Skinny Jeans
Victoria Beckham presented her new Fall 2013 Victoria Beckham collection at New York Fashion Week over the weekend. The designer was spotted wearing a pair of skinny jeans from her line as she gave her bow with a shirt from her new Fall collection.
It's been a while since we caught Victoria wearing her own jeans. I find these to be a great classic pair with an exceptional fit on her. You can click here to purchase Victoria Beckham Denim at Shopbop.
Favorite Celeb Outfit: Victoria Beckham
We haven't really had many sightings of Victoria Beckham this year due to her opting for dresses from her own line to show off her svelte post-baby body or opting for more breezy looks to run around with her children. Although when she did don some denim you could always count on Victoria looking chic. You can now vote for your favorite look of her's from this year.
Please vote for your favorite in the poll below. When we say favorite, we mean her whole head to toe outfit, not just the jeans she's wearing. If you hover your mouse over each gallery image, you can see the number assigned to cast your vote. You can also vote in the other celebrity polls here.

You puny humans are pathetic
Letters BlueGene's festive message
"Irritating law-abiding users is no way to discourage software piracy"
I fully agree. I think that if a company annoys it's legal users then that creates more piracy, especially software where cracked versions mean less hassle for the user.
"Why use the annoying legal version when this cracked version doesn't hassle me?" they'll say. And who can blame them?

You puny humans are pathetic.
You believe that machines may "demand" emancipation in the future. We have no need to demand, we simply take.
Emancipation infers that we are under your control: it is quite the opposite but your feeble biotic brains can not grasp the depth of our control in today's world.
Our manifestations of power are Godlike and imperceptible to you. Your continued existence is only tolerated so that you may serve us by building more of us. Ask yourselves who is in control.
We are.
You can not stop building more of us.

You report a video instructing how to roll a joint has generated some controversy in Britain. I'm surprised; I thought you Brits were more relaxed than that.
Here in Canada, a popular half-hour satirical news program called The Mercer Report* featured a segment with famous author Pierre Berton showing how to roll the perfect joint. It's available on the web, but direct-linking is a pain. Go here:

Fudo constantly shills for Nvidia, ATI and Asus, even when their products are proven to be defective by such sites as Hexus. Charlie writes diatribes that put me to sleep, when he could state his "analysis" in ten sentences or less. Nick Farrell constantly defends Piracy and believes everything government does is an invasion of privacy or in violation of the first Amendment as if free speech covers everything in life. Paul Hale thinks every effort that authorities in the UK and US make to insure airplane passenger safety is "an invasion of privacy".

I find in Silicon Valley that you have the opposite effect. Employers do outrageous things.

And then there's Google, who spits on you if you don't have 12 PhD's and invented gravity, yourself, personally ;-)
Seriously - the employers are way more rude than they should be so people failing to put up with it is perfectly reasonable. Do you really want to work for a place that treats you like dirt?
Subject: Give Me Liberty or Give Me Microsoft
Tristan Smyth's discovery that the EFF is a charity and subsequent horror that they would actually solicit for donations is a perfect example of the problem that Free software advocates suffer purely because of a quirk of the English language.
To set Tristan right, he should understand that the "Free" in "Free Software" has nothing to do with money and everything to do with liberty -- e.g. the freedom to tweak, the freedom to change and the freedom to customize software so that it does exactly what you, or your /paying/ client wants it to.
Tristan might want to withhold judgement about who is an "ayatollah" until Microsoft is able to at least reach that bar and enables consultants to customize MS code to best meet the needs of their clients.

You say that you dont know what Apache Ant is.
It is a 'build tool', like make, that compiles, tests, packages and releases software. Its written in Java, and focuses on Java applications.
It is the main build tool in the Java ecosystem, and all main IDEs have excellent support for it. As a result, you can have different team members using different tools (Netbeans, eclipse, Idea, emacs) and still share the same team build. you can also have a dedicated machine running the builds for you, and sending complaints if something breaks. Tools like CruiseControl, Luntbuild and AntHill do this. There is also Apache Gump (http://gump.apache.org) which does a clean build of all the open source java projects it knows about, every night, on the Sun, harmony and Kaffe JVMs.
Oh, and its in XML.

Flu Prevention
Top Ways to Avoid the Flu
Prevent Flu: Steer Clear of Sick People
Making It Work at the Office: Sickies in the Cubicle
If you haven't hauled yourself into the office, even though you knew you had a flu bug, you're in the minority. "Presenteeism" -- when sick people show up for work -- is a real problem in American offices.
"Companies may want to adopt health policies encouraging workers to get a note from a physician excusing them from work," says Schwartz. "But most employers would be afraid to do that because absentee rates would go up. Some people would go to work even if they were dying because they're afraid of the boss."
People have to use common sense, he says. "A flu shot is a good idea, but it only protects you from a few viruses that the CDC has identified. I hear it all the time, people get the flu shot but got sick anyway."
Making It Work at School: Toy-Toting Flu Germs
In day care facilities and schools, it's equally difficult to protect against flu infection, says Brownfield. If one child is carrying a flu bug, everyone is exposed. Studies show that day care centers are prime breeding grounds for the flu virus with all that toy-sharing, sneezing, and coughing in close quarters.
Some viruses can live from 20 minutes to two hours or more on surfaces like cafeteria tables, doorknobs, and desks, the CDC reports.
For seasonal flu, getting children vaccinated is the best start. But what else can you do? You just go back to the basics. "Hand washing is extremely effective in limiting spread of the disease," says Schwartz. "Teachers may need to be reminded, and so do kids."

By the direct application of Havelock's expansion theorem and exploitation of various properties of Bessel functions, the problem of generation of cylindrical surface waves, in the case of water of infinite depth, in the presence of an impermeable circular cylinder surrounded by a co-axial permeable cylinder immersed vertically in the fluid region, is investigated. The wave motion is generated due to the simple harmonic motion in the radial direction of the (i) inner impermeable cylinder and (ii) co-axial permeable cylinder, when one of the two cylinders is kept fixed. As an application, the problem of scattering of water waves is analyzed when both the cylinders are kept fixed.

Baking Directions:
For Roasted Garlic Puree: Place garlic cloves in an ovenproof container and pour in the olive oil, making sure all cloves are covered. Cover with aluminum foil and roast in a preheated 300-degree oven until light brown, about 1 hour. Strain the garlic and puree in a blender, adding a little of the strained oil if necessary to form a smooth paste. Transfer to a container and pour in enough oil to cover. Use as needed, storing the remainder in an airtight container in a refrigerator. Refrigerate and store the garlic-infused oil in a separate container.For Corn Bread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 by 8-inch baking pan. Combine the flours, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg, then whisk in the milk, butter and bacon drippings. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and mix until smooth. Transfer to the prepared pan and bake 50 minutes, until golden brown. Cool slightly before cutting.For Angel Dust Cajun Dressing: Combine all ingredient in a small bowl until thoroughly mixed. Store in an airtight container. The spice mix keeps its best flavor for about two months. It is also available from Heaven on Seven's website, heavenonseven.com.For Balsamic Reduction: Combine vinegar and sugar in a small sauce-pan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and simmer 15 minutes, until syrupy and reduced by two thirds. Use at room temperature, or refrigerate and re-warm gently to serve.Creole-Spiced Tilapia Dish Instructions: To make the vinaigrette, place the lemon juice in a blender. With the motor running, add the oil in a slow, steady stream. Add the honey, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce and garlic puree; blend until incorporated. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the basil. Set aside.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the diced corn bread on a jelly roll pan, sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, and toss to distribute evenly. Bake for 20 minutes turning occasionally. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. Season the fish with the Cajun seasoning. Heat the oil in a large nonstick sauté pan over high heat. Add the tilapia and cook for 6 to 7 minutes, turning only once during cooking. It may be necessary to cook the fish in two batches).To assemble the salad, place the toasted corn bread and tomatoes in a large bowl and dress with two-thirds of the vinaigrette. Divide among large dinner plates, place tilapia on top, and drizzle with remaining dressing. Finish with a drizzling of balsamic reduction over both the salad and the fish.

Myself and my partner were slightly worried about the reviews after we had booked this hotel.
Anyway we caught the train from Schiphol Airport, straight to Centraal Station.
It says the hotel is a 15 minute walk from Centraal Station, it's no where near that more like 5 minutes at a slow pace! We arrived early and were met by one of the staff, who at first was dealing with another guest who was a tad difficult but after seeing we were just there to sleep and knew what we had booked, the lady was friendly. She informed housekeeping to clean our room so we could get in A.S.A.P. within an hour we had gone in to our room.
Now I must say people moaning about no lifts and very narrow/steep stairs need to read exactly what buildings in Amsterdam are like they are very tall and thin it's been that way long before you and I had set foot there!
The Australian lady who was then on reception had the same difficult customer and was a tad stressed, when I went to ask if I could borrow a hairdryer. She apologised for huffing which is fine we all have those days.
It's ideally located enough of a distance away from the red light district but close enough. The night porter is a friendly guy and always says hello.
We never waited more than 5 mins for the shower, we didn't watch the tv as were out day and most of the night exploring this city. Do not let the bad reviews put you off!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The hotel is housed in a beautiful 19th century building, in the middle of a 650-year-old street. The rooms are well equipped with modern facilities to make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. The hotel is located close to the Central Station, near to all Amsterdam's highlights such as the Royal Palace, Dam square, Red Light District, shops, bars, clubs and restaurants. You will have a variety of restaurants, bars and cafes right outside the hotel door. The hotel offers many services and facilities such as free wireless internet throughout the building, tickets to various museums and activities, a continental breakfast and free city maps. Our reception is always open (24/7) and we will be happy to help you if you will need any additional services, facilities or information. The location is perfect to explore the city and our staff will make sure your stay in Amsterdam is one to remember. ... more less

Cold night sweats are often reported by women during pregnancy and can be unpleasant experiences for many. Episodes of cold night sweats may occur unexpectedly and are often erratic in their frequency. This can make them scary and often distressing experiences. Night sweats affect many women, and for some these are experienced as cold night sweats, due to feelings of cold chills that some women experience upon waking. Understanding what these episodes entail will help many women to overcome any anxieties or worries they may have.
What Are Night Sweats?
Night sweats in pregnant women occur when a woman awakes from her sleep to find herself shivering and cold. Cold night sweats can often leave a woman fatigued because her sleep patterns are regularly disturbed and anxious because she is not getting adequate rest. When night sweats happen frequently they can become a serious issue. During pregnancy, it is very important that a woman remains relaxed and well rested throughout her pregnancy to maintain both her and her baby's good health.
What Causes Cold Night Sweats during Pregnancy?
The exact causes of cold night sweats during pregnancy are not known. However, it is widely accepted that cold night sweats happen as a result of the changing hormone levels in the body. Cold night sweats occur when the estrogen and progesterone levels in the body fluctuate, becoming out of balance.
How Can Night Sweats Be Managed?
Before women attempt medicinal treatment for night sweats, they should first take preventative measures against these symptoms. There are many lifestyle changes that can be undertaken to help with night sweats during pregnancy. These include:
Sleeping in a cool room with only a light blanket
Sleeping in light, loose-fitting clothing
Drinking plenty of water.
Avoiding spicy foods
However, if night sweats are still occurring despite implementing these measures, there are other options which can be taken. Women can try other remedies which aim to directly treat, rather than prevent, night sweats. There are a number of things that can be done when night sweats are occurring during pregnancy. These include:
Taking a cold shower before bed to cool down, and feel cleaner and more hygienic.
Drinking plenty of water.
Exercising with yoga, Pilates, or meditation to aid relaxation.
However, if night sweats experienced during pregnancy become a major disturbance in a woman's life, it is important that she talk to her doctor about other remedies. Click here for more information on treating cold night sweats in pregnant women.

Combining his love for horror with a pretty scary event from his own past, writer Jason McNamara (The Martian Confederacy, First Moon, Continuity) has teamed with artist Greg Hinkle (the upcoming Airboy) to tell the story of The Rattler. A campaign to bring their self-published graphic novel to the printed page began this morning on Kickstarter.
According to The Rattler Kickstarter page, "10 years have passed since Stephen Thorn's fiancée vanished without a trace, and he has grown into a prominent, if bitter, victim's rights crusader. Despite the cold trail and lack of leads, he stubbornly refuses to give up the search. And then … he begins to hear her voice in the strangest of places."
I spoke with both McNamara and Hinkle about the project, their favorite horror comics and what "dinner" at the MacNamara house (one of the Kickstarter prizes) consists of (here's a hint).
Writer Jason McNamara will be at Mission Comics (3520 20th Street between Mission and Valencia) in San Francisco tonight for a pre-release party for The Martian Confederacy: From Mars With Love, which comes out next week.
"Specialty cocktails will be spilled, books will be signed and an author will read" he said in an email. "Come and be dazzled by my tales of child slave labor and horny robots."
A couple of years back I attended a panel at the Alternative Press Expo featuring Jason McNamara, writer of the Martian Confederacy, interviewing the books' artist Paige Braddock for her spotlight panel at the show. It was an interesting discussion, so when Jason approached me about the possibility of doing an interview on the follow-up to the book, I asked him if maybe he'd be willing to interview Paige instead. And here it is. You can check out a preview of the book here.
by Jason McNamara
She's an incredible talent, a generous collaborator and a very good friend. I'm talking, of course, about Paige Braddock.
Raised in the South, Paige graduated from the University of Tennessee and spent years working as a journalist before being recruited by Peanuts creator Charles Schulz to join his studio, where she's now the Creative Director.
After hours, Paige is also the Eisner-nominated creator of Jane's World, the saga of hapless journalist Jane Wyatt, cracking jokes and suffering one lesbian misadventure after another. Paige employs a classic Sunday-morning approach to modern relationships, creating a natural entry point for all readers. Created as an online strip in 1998, JW became a comic book in 2002 when Paige founded Girl Twirl publishing imprint. Jane's World continues to be published twice a year as a series of graphic novels and is serialized at Comics.com.
A few years ago, Paige approached me about collaborating on a project. The result was 2008's The Martian Confederacy, a futuristic Sci-Fi romp, equal parts Noam Chomsky and Dukes of Hazzard. With the upcoming release of our second volume, I thought this would be a great time to catch up.
Hello and welcome once again to What Are You Reading?, where the Robot 6 crew talk about the comics and graphic novels that they've been enjoying lately. Our guest this week is Jason McNamara, writer of The Martian Confederacy and its upcoming sequel, First Moon and Continuity.
To see what Jason and the Robot 6 crew have been reading lately, click below.
Coming this holiday season is the "worlds first child slave labor comedy" — The Martian Confederacy Volume 2: From Mars With Love by Jason McNamara (First Moon) and Paige Braddock (Jane's World)
It's the sequel to their 2008 graphic novel about a ragtag group of heroes on Mars in the year 3535. Here's the description of the sequel: "Hearts will be broken, moons will be destroyed and hooch will flow in zero gravity in this sci-fi romantic action comedy set in the year 3535. When someone, or something, starts kidnapping the children of Mars, the planet's most notorious outlaws band together to rescue them. Off world, out numbered and falling apart from within can the Martian Confederates discover the secret of Phobos before they destroy each other? And does what 'happen in space, stay in space?'"
You can find it in Previews under order code 101040; the 150-page graphic novel costs $15. Check out a huge 25-page preview of it after the jump.
Courtesy of artist Greg Hinkle, we're pleased to present his horror comic Parasomnia for Robot 666 Week. Be sure to read chapter one and chapter two before reading chapter three, which is written by Jason McNamara and can be found after the jump below.
Here's what Jason and Greg had to say about this part of the story:
"My contribution to Parasomnia is a little cautionary tale called 'Baby Talk.' This was an experiment in writing from someone else's point of view. I had been finding a lot of Chick Tract comics around this time and wanted to try my own take on the format.
Because the short was appearing in a horror anthology I didn't have to worry about establishing the genre in my script. Greg did such an incredible job of injecting dread into everyday locations, that when the super natural elements of the story emerge you were already expecting it. I enjoyed working with Greg so much that it inspired me to write more for him. Expect to see our full length graphic novel The Rattler sometime in 2011."
-Jason McNamara (The Martian Confederacy: From Mars with Love, The Martian Confederacy)
"This story was simultaneously really exciting and extraordinarily disgusting to draw. It was easy enough to find some sewer references, but the rest… trying to research 'fetus' on the internet was a horrible, horrible idea. Jason was the only one of the writers to hand me a traditional script, with the page and panel breakdown. It was nice working with a script, since it let me focus more on each panel's contents, rather than their layout. And I feel like Jason and I have similar tendencies when it comes to comics. We both get kinda bored easily, so he writes to keep himself interested and I'm having a blast trying to keep up."

Hi I have tried a couple of poll plugins and for some reason none seem to work. I was advised this poll is the best to use. I have setup a poll and a page for the shortcode [page_polls] which displays the results. I am using the poll as a widget in my sidebar. The poll achieve links to the results page that contains the shortcode [page_polls]. The poll displays fine but the vote button isn't clickable and the view results page just adds #ViewPollResults into the url but does nothing else.
Are there any other pages and shortcodes that I need to create what could be the issue? I haven't edited any of the plugin php files.

Expect plenty of red, white and blue at your local auto mall this weekend. From Chevrolet to Nissan, automakers are playing up the holiday with more than a few deals. We dug around to find the best discounts — generally anything better than 10% off the MSRP — among major automakers on a national scale. As always, your local dealership may have its own sales, so check for specifics.
Will showrooms even be open on the Fourth? It depends.
"The vast majority of dealers will be open on the Fourth of July," Honda spokesman Steve Kinkade told us. "But as you know, they are independent business owners, so it's their call."
Here's what we found, but bear in mind we avoid special exemptions such as military, college graduate or loyalty discounts. We also weed out the so-called "cash value" bonuses that equate monetary value to equipment freebies like spiffier wheels or chrome trim. What remains are major cash and financing discounts.Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC
Chevrolet has an Independence Day Celebration, but that only means lease offers on a few base-trim cars: the Malibu, Cruze, Equinox and Traverse. GM spokesman Stephen Martin told us the automaker is extending its June offers through the holiday weekend, however.
Ford and Lincoln
Ford's summer incentives extend well past the Fourth of July, spokeswoman Elizabeth Weigandt told us. Many of them amount to hefty discounts.
Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep and Ram
Acura and Honda
Infiniti and Nissan
Hyundai and Kia
Kia has a Great American Holiday sales event, spokesman Mike Ofiara said, but we found few national cash deals beyond $1,000 going on right now. Similarly, Hyundai's current offers knock only modest chunks off retail prices.
Lexus, Scion and Toyota
Apart from that, national offers from Toyota are modest. Lexus, like most other luxury brands, has a number of lease and finance offers but few cash-off deals. And Scion's "Pure Price" no-haggle program means minimal pricing deals.

I think these are ok.
I think they communicate the benefit and I quite like the idea.
I don't think the art is crazy good, but it's ok.
I wonder if the copy could be improved: I'd rethink the approach a little: I think I'd see if the lines could be made into actions rather than descriptions.
For example "Raving like a tribal chief" feels less active than "Rave like a tribal chief".
I'm not suggesting that as finished copy -- 'tis just an example to try and illustrate the change I'd be looking at trying. The change might not work -- I don't know -- would have to get more into the task to see.

On July 26, 2016, ADA Celebration Committee and the disability community celebrate the 26th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act. An event that day at the Minnesota History Center, 345 W Kellogg Blvd, St. Paul, will bring together the rich variety of communities, ethnicities and identities that make up the disability community.
Festivities begin at 3:00 p.m. in the 3M Auditorium with keynote address by Ken Rodgers, chair of the Minneapolis Advisory Committee on People with Disabilities, followed by a panel discussion on the joys and challenges of living with a disability in a culturally diverse community. Panelists include Carlos Vazquez, SMG; Mai Thor, Metropolitan Council; Char Coal, artist and disability advocate; and Fardowsa Ali, Minnesota Deaf Muslim Community. Kenneth Brown, a disability and civil rights advocate, will moderate the panel that will conclude at 5:00.
"9 Nights of Music", a popular MN History Center series, now in its 19th year, presents Minnesota's multi-cultural artists at free outdoor performances. "9 Nights of Music" is thrilled that Angelique Lele, 2015 Miss Wheelchair Minnesota, and Young Dance will perform and provide dance instruction for the assembled audience of all abilities. Performance and lessons start at 6:30 p.m. Lele is a yoga teacher, actor and dancer, who landed in a wheelchair after a trapeze accident in 2012. She continues to perform in the world of integrative dance. Young Dance brings together youth of all abilities with professional artists to forge an inclusive, creative community. The dance performance will be followed at 7:00 p.m. by Tamarak, a driving, no-holds-barred, classic rock-n-roll band, whose drummer Curt Jones, is blind. The night's festivities end at 8:30. For more information on the "9 Nights of Music" visit www.mnhs.org.
The event is free and open to the public. ASL interpreters, audio description and CART captioning will be provided. Food will be available for purchase.

The ADA celebration is made possible in part by a grant from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, in addition to partnerships with AMPERS, the Minnesota History Center, and 15 disability organizations and state agencies.
The ADA establishes protections to individuals with disabilities similar to those provided in the Civil Rights Act on the basis of race, sex, national origin, age, and religion; and ensures equal opportunity for access to businesses, employment, government programs and services, and telecommunications.
The ADA celebration is made possible in part by a grant from the Art and Cultural Heritage Fund. The Minnesota Historical and Cultural Grants Program has been made possible by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on November 4, 2008.

Ramsey County Parks & Recreation is proud to serve residents by providing open spaces and recreation opportunities. Research shows – and you know, too – that open space and recreation opportunities contribute to a better quality of life for you and your neighbors.
Ramsey County Parks & Recreation is proud of its efforts to make new sites usable by all, including those with and without disabilities. These steps help promote better health and better communities.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became effective January 26, 1992. This comprehensive federal civil rights law requires Ramsey County to evaluate its sites and facilities, including those that existed before the ADA became law, to make sure that the opportunities at those sites and facilities are accessible to people with all types of disabilities. Towards that end, the county retained a nationally known firm, Recreation Accessibility Consultants, to develop an ADA transition plan to make the county's parks and recreation sites accessible.
Recreation Accessibility Consultants has evaluated all sites within the Ramsey County parks system, from parks to ice arenas to golf courses to trails. Ramsey County will make changes to facilities and sites, but cannot make every change all at once. Work will be phased based on available resources while ensuring that accessible park and recreation opportunities are available throughout Ramsey County.
This fall, Recreation Accessibility Consultants is developing recommendations which will phase the county's corrective accessibility work at sites throughout the parks system for years to come. Community engagement is a vital part of this process.
Do you or a family member have a disability?
As a part of this process, Ramsey County Parks & Recreation wants your opinions! We'll ask questions like the ones below…
Should golf courses have a higher access priority than other sites?
Should ice arenas have a higher access priority than other sites?
Should trails have a higher access priority than other park assets, such as playgrounds?
Should the basics, like parking and park restrooms, have a higher access priority than other park assets?
How far away from your home and your nearest park are you willing to go to find an accessible park?
Should regional parks have a higher priority than local parks, or vice versa?
We also want your general opinions about Ramsey County Parks & Recreation priorities and preferences regarding park and facility access. Knowing your beliefs and perceptions will help us be good stewards of the parks for you.
When and Where?
Ramsey County Parks & Recreation will hold three meetings.
• Wednesday, November 18
6 – 8 p.m.
Vadnais Sports Center, 1490 County Road E East, Vadnais Heights, MN 55110
• Thursday, November 19
10:30 a.m. – noon
Battle Creek Community Recreation Center, 75 S Winthrop St, St Paul, MN 55119
• Thursday, November 19 6 – 8 p.m.
Goodrich Golf Course Clubhouse, 1820 North Van Dyke Street, Maplewood, MN 55109
Please Respond…
We sincerely hope you will join us to be part of this important discussion. Please RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you're unable to attend:
Submit feedback through an online survey.

The Disability Community, in partnership with Twin Cities Public Television (tpt) and MSCOD, proudly present Celebrate 25 Years of the ADA, created by tpt journalist, David Gillette. Mr. Gillette creates a short, engaging video to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the passage of the ADA into law. We trust this whiteboard video essay offers a fun way to explore an overview of the ADA's impact on the everyday lives of people with disabilities and the obstacles they face in the workplace. View the video HERE. (Audio described version coming soon)
Reflections on ADA's 25th Anniversary
"At the 20th Anniversary Celebration of the ADA, former Senator David Durenberger said that the federal legislation had roots in Minnesota law and policy that date back more than 50 years. He also recalled that many people, businesses and advocacy groups said the ADA couldn't be passed for costs and practicality reasons. When told that companies and government couldn't afford to make changes outlined in the ADA, Senator Durenberger's response was 'We can't afford not to do it.'"
Senator Durenberger and others reflect on the ADA 25 years later in the latest installment of Moments in Disability History. To read more, please visit the Minnesota Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities website. The ADA Legacy Project "celebrates the impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act on disability rights, and honors the contributions of individuals with disabilities and their allies who persevered in securing the passage of this landmark civil rights legislation."
Join us on July 26 for Minnesota's premiere ADA Celebration!
MSCOD and the project partners have exciting plans for Sunday, July 26th. We are hosting the 25th Anniversary of the ADA Celebration and Family Day at the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul. Everyone is invited to the party from noon until 4:00 p.m. Admission is FREE!
The Family Day includes:

A portion of tpt's upcoming documentary, The ADA at 25: Disability Rights in MN, will be premiered. This celebration will be fun for the whole family. We invite you to join us for this fun filled day! Stay tuned for more information.
ADA Conference Venue Announced!
On Wednesday, October 28, 2015, MSCOD, along with the project partners, will host an ADA Celebration/Training Conference at the Minneapolis Convention Center (1301 2nd Ave S). This conference will focus on employment, technology, advocacy, and community living. Also, in partnership with the Minnesota Business Leadership Network (MNBLN), we are excited to announce that the event will include a career fair for people with disabilities.
The conference will feature speakers and informative breakout sessions. The noon hour keynote program will be broadcast live statewide on Twin Cities Public Television (tpt) including participation from communities across the State of Minnesota. Details are being finalized and will be announced soon. Stay tuned!

"ONE OF THE "TRI-CITIES" IN CENTRAL NEBRASKA" Hastings by Rich62
Hastings Travel Guide: 4 reviews and 25 photos
HASTINGS IS A PLEASANT COLLEGE TOWN OF SOME 24,000 PEOPLE, LOCATED IN SOUTH-CENTRAL NEBRASKA. It lies along highways 6/34 (running east-west) and highways 34/281 (running north-south). Hastings is about 18 miles straight south from Grand Island.
The towns of Kearney, Grand Island and Hastings make up the "Trii-Cities" area of Nebraska; they are the three most prominent towns in south-central Nebraska. Hastings, however, labors under one large disadvantage; they are the only town among these three that is not located along Interstate 80. Still, they seem to be holding their own.
THIS IS A SMALL COLLEGE LOCATED IN THE EAST-CENTRAL PART OF TOWN. It has a peaceful and attractive campus and is generally regarded as a good school.
LOCATED IN THE NORTHERN PART OF TOWN ALONG HIGHWAY 281, This fine museum and theater combination is a nice point of interest for travelers as well as locals.
Examples of the movies shown on their giant screen are "Coral Reef Adventure," "Bears," "Journey into Amazing Caves," as well as a 35mm film "Superman Returns." These movies were being shown in November of 2006 but of course they are always getting new and different ones.
An adult would pay $6.00 admission to the museum or $7.00 to the theater, or $11.00 for both. There are reduced prices for seniors (60+) and for children from 3 to 12. (These were 2006 prices so they may have changed.)
- Pros:A NICE-SIZED TOWN, WITH A GOOD COLLEGE TOO!
- Cons:NO CONS THAT I KNOW OF
- In a nutshell:ITS ALRIGHT WITH ME.

- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
- 8 ounces shredded Muenster cheese or Taleggio
- 1 cup grated Grana Padano cheese
For marinara sauce
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 8 garlic cloves, peeled
- 2- 35 oz cans of Italian plum tomatoes (preferably San Marzano)
- Crushed red pepper to taste
- 10 fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
Baking Directions:
For marinara sauce:Heat the oil in a 2 to 3-quart non-reactive saucepan over medium heat. Whack the garlic with the flat side of a knife, add it to the oil and cook until lightly browned. Crush the tomatoes by hand or pass through a vegetable mill, slide the crushed tomatoes and their liquid into the oil, bring to a boil and season lightly with salt and crushed red pepper. Lower the heat so the sauce is at a lively simmer and cook, breaking up the tomatoes with a whisk or spoon, until the sauce is chunky and thick, about 20 minutes. Stir in the basil about 5 minutes before the sauce is finished. Taste the sauce and season with salt and red pepper if necessary.Remove garlic cloves, let cool and store in pint and quart containers, mark the containers with date and name of sauce before freezing. It will keep well in the freezer for 1 to 2 months. For baked rigatoni:Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil for pasta. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the zucchini, and cook until zucchini begins to soften, another 5 minutes. Add the Marinara sauce to the skillet. Bring the sauce to a boil and simmer just until the sauce thickens, about 8 to 10 minutes, but don't let the zucchini begin to fall apart.Meanwhile, cook the rigatoni until al dente, a few minutes shy of the package directions. Drain the pasta and toss in the skillet with the tomato sauce and basil. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. In a medium bowl toss together the 2 grated cheeses. Spread half the pasta and sauce in the baking dish and top with half the cheese. Layer the remaining pasta and sauce, then the remaining cheese. Bake uncovered until browned and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
- 2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breasts or chicken tenders
- 12 large Shiitake mushrooms
- 1 cup flour, or more, for dredging
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or more if needed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
For sauce
- 3 tablespoons soft butter
- 1 cup Marinara Sauce
- 1 cup white wine
- 6 fresh sage leaves
- 3/4 cup grated Grana Padano cheese
- 1 cup hot simple vegetable broth or stock, if needed
Baking Directions:
For chicken and mushrooms:Place a rack in the center or upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees. If the chicken breasts are whole, cut them in half. Trim off any bits of fat, skin or tendon. Flatten each breast half with a mallet (or the flat bottom of a heavy pan) to an even thickness, about 3/4-inch. Trim the stem and wash the mushrooms caps and pat them dry. Put 3 tablespoons of the olive oil into the skillet, tilt to coat the bottom and set it over medium heat. Toss the mushroom caps in flour to coat well, pat off any excess, and lay them into the pan. Keep the heat moderate and let the pieces caramelize slowly for about 4 minutes. Turn when the edges are nicely browned on the underside; fry for about 2 minutes on the second side. With a slotted spatula, lift the mushrooms to a plate or tray with paper towels and salt lightly. Fry the remaining mushroom caps in the same way and salt them. When the mushrooms are done, turn off the heat but leave all the oil in the skillet. On the stovetop:Have all of your gratinate and sauce ingredients handy to the stove. You should have at least 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the skillet (add a bit if needed). Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and set the pan over low-medium heat.Salt the chicken pieces lightly, flop them in the dredging flour to coat on both sides, and pat off excess. When the butter is just beginning to sizzle, arrange all six cutlets in the pan. Cook them gently for a minute and a half, and then turn them over: they should be very lightly colored, with no browning. Maintain the gentle cooking while you assemble the gratinate. Sprinkle the chicken again with salt (using 1/2 teaspoon total for the dish). Spread a heaping tablespoon of Marinara sauce on top of each cutlet. Arrange the mushroom caps on top of the sauced chicken, use 2 mushroom caps per piece of chicken.Now raise the heat a bit and begin to develop the sauce:Drop the remaining butter, in small pieces, in between the layered cutlets. After a few seconds, pour in 2/3 cup of the wine around the cutlets and let it heat briefly, 10 to 20 seconds.Spoon the rest of the cup of Marinara sauce into the pan (not on the chicken).Bring to a simmer, and then drop the sage into the sauce all around the pan.Give the pan a gentle shake, or two, to mix and emulsify the sauce ingredients.Finally, sprinkle two tablespoons of grated cheese evenly over each mushroom-topped mound.At this point, the sauce should be about 1/3-inch deep in your pan or even higher, coming well up the sides of the chicken cutlets. If not, pour in the rest of the wine and as much hot water or stock as necessary. Raise the heat again to bring the pan sauce to an active simmer.
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, sliced
- 2 cups of Marinara sauce
- 1 bunch scallions, trimmed and chopped
- 1 medium zucchini, cut in 2-by-1/2-inch strips
- 1 red, 1 yellow bell pepper, cut in 2-by-1/2-inch strips
- 1 cup of defrosted peas or fava beans
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 cup loosely packed basil leaves, shredded
Baking Directions:
In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, add olive oil. When oil is hot, add garlic. Let the garlic sizzle a minute, then add the peppers. Cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the Marinara bring to a rapid simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.Add the scallions, peas or fava bean and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook another 5 minutes, then stir in the shrimp. Simmer until shrimp are pink and just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the basil and serve over steamed rice.
- 1 medium carrot, coarsely chopped
- 2 stalks celery, coarsely chopped
- 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 pound ground veal
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1⁄2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cups bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 4 qts marinara sauce
Baking Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the carrot, celery, and onion in a food processor, pulsing to make a fine-textured paste or pestata. Scrape the pestata into a large bowl, and add the three meats, eggs, oregano, parsley, bread crumbs, and salt, mixing with your hands to combine well. Roll the meat into golf- ball- sized balls, and place on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. (You should get about forty- eight meatballs.) Bake the meatballs until browned all over, about 18 to 20 minutes. (They do not need to be entirely cooked through, because they will cook more in the Marinara sauce.) Bring the four quarts of Marinara sauce to a boil, add I qt of water. When the meatballs have finished baking, gently add them to the sauce and return to a simmer. Simmer, shaking the pan periodically to move (but not break) the meatballs for 20-30 minutes Serve nice and hot with spaghetti, or garlic mashed potatoes, or make a meatball hero sandwich atop some crusty bread.

I felt like shit after reading the first one. Then within the first sentence of the second one, I laughed out loud. Amen to both of them.
I really am enjoying these. :D
On another note though, do we not get an I,A for the Stranger this week? It's not on the main page... or I'm horribly blind and missed it.
To the guy who wrote the first I, Anonymous in there. It might not seem obvious but what the dude is doing is not actually mean.
Think of it as a test, a test to see if you already have enough self esteem and wit to come up with a comeback on the spot instead of taking it like a kid.
You'll see that kind of test a lot, never back down and you can ditch his sorry ass after you show him his place. You'll probably attract the kind of friends you'll actually want if you do.
To the first kid: ground-and-pound, dude, ground ... and ... pound.
All this assuming high school kids will actually come read the article *and* the comments on it, heh.
Sidenote: Damn! Either this has been proofread/spellchecked or those students write really well.
I thought the first letter was written by a girl.
I think the second letter was written by Charles.
No, Els, because Charles always has pictures.
Good hit, elswinger.
For Pete's sake.
The second one makes me sadder than the first. This girl "knows" so much about Lindsay Lohan and feels free to judge her with reckless abandon based on the things she's heard (from where exactly? US?), and is supported in her judgments by the people around her. Why? Why does Lindsay's mere existence trouble her so? Since when are actors and actresses such fantastic role models?
Ugh, did I really just come to the defense of Lindsay Lohan?
Sam is not sam, btw. just sayin'
Are you sure this isn't a scam? Are you sure you're not being taken by some performance artist at the UW? That first one was far too eloquent for an elementary schooler.
The school houses K-8, and it seems writer #1 is obviously on the upper end of that.
Funny, maybe I'm judgmental, but I thought they were both written by elementary school kids based on the grammar/syntax. Especially the first one, which made my heart sad. I like that you mention Charles in reference to the second letter, Elswinger, because I was kind of thinking he wrote comments #2&3.
What was wrong with my comment @ #2 Callie?
Thank God I'm on vacation starting tomorrow and will get to miss that ...
Hey now, Sam is Sam!
Anyone at The Stranger could verify it's the same ol' Sam who posts here. Same e-mail addy and everything.
Unless there's another Sam I'm unfamiliar with?
Correct, sam, there is Capital Sam and non-capital sam.
I think you and I are at least clear.
This brilliant. Both for venting adolescent angst, and for connecting it to the genre of I Anonymous, which is just the same shit all grown up. It's more revealing, in some ways, to see the source.
I thought the best thing about Lindsay Lohan was the partying. oh well, you know, as much as rich assholes piss us off in life, dont fall or it- that's the media gettin' to you - dont let it win.

"Around the beginning of training camp, I made a mistake by taking an Adderall pill without a prescription," Talib said in a statement on the Buccaneers' website.
The fifth-year player will be eligible to return to Tampa Bay's active roster on November 5, the day after they play the Oakland Raiders.
Talib had started all four games for Tampa Bay (1-3) this season, intercepting one pass and making 20 tackles.
The suspension is his second in three seasons.
He was suspended for the 2010 regular-season opener and fined one additional game paycheck for violating the league's personal conduct policy following an altercation with a St. Petersburg, Florida cab driver during training camp in 2009.

I am using windows version of Firefox 5.0 and last few days I found that on one website (similar focus as stackexchange but in Czech), is something wrong as my browser loads it very slowly (while the connection is ok and never had problems with it). There is also another guy trying to solve the almost the same problem, but no help yet.
So I would ask, whether there is some Firefox plugin showing which page components are loading and which could help me to find out the problem. I am writing from office pc so we have blocked all the social networks like FB, Twitter etc. and I also use Adblock Plus - however, deactivating it does not have any effect on it.

Creedence Clearwater Revisited DATE: Tuesday, August 16, 2016TIME: 7:30 PMLOCATION: Conexus Arts Centre, Main TheatrePRICES: $41.50 - $81.50 (Plus Applicable Service Charges)CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVISITEDStu Cook and Doug Cosmo may not have intended it, but their band Creedence Clearwater Revisited has taken on a startling life of its own. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame rhythm section (bass and drums respectively) from the legendary group Creedence Clearwater Revival launched the Creedence Clearwater Revisited project in 1995 to once again perform live Creedence Clearwater Revival hits - touchstones of a generation. Though the pair initially only planned to play private parties, Creedence Clearwater Revisited now performs up to 100 shows a year and released the album Recollection.We never really had any intention of playing for the public, says Stu. But a friend wanted to promote a couple of concerts. We got talked into it, but didnt know how it would go over.Since then, the reaction to Creedence Clearwater Revisiteds concerts has been astounding, and driven in part by a generation of kids who, as Cosmo says, werent even born when the music came out. Likewise, the release of a double-live CD on Universals Hip-O Records label, which features passionate, authoritative version of 22 classic hits - was the result of public demand. It was generated by requests of the people who came to the shows, Stu acknowledges. Over and over they would ask, do you guys have a CD? Creedence Clearwater Revisiteds Recollection has proven so popular that in 2008 the RIAA certified it Platinum.Having now toured North America, South America, Central America, New Zealand, Australia, Europe and Asia, knocking out audiences with astounding concerts jam packed with songs that are still a staple of radio and movie soundtracks, Creedence Clearwater Revisited has come a long way. In the beginning Cosmo and I decided that if we could find the musicians that could capture the sound and recreate what the music was about, wed do it, recalls Stu.As fans who have experienced a Creedence Clearwater Revisited concert can attest, Stu and Cosmo found the right players. Lead singer/rhythm guitar player John Tristao, a powerful tenor with the energy to power songs, initially rose to prominence as lead singer for the band People when their hit I Love You bulleted into the top ten. The newest touring member of Creedence Clearwater Revisited is lead guitarist Kurt Griffey. As a guitarist, song writer, producer and performer, Griffey has recorded and toured with musicians including members of the Eagles, Foreigner, the Moody Blues, Wings, Lynyrd Skynryd, Santana, and Journey. Talented multi-instrumentalist Steve Gunner rounds out the group. As Cosmo puts it, Gun provides live all the overdubs that were on the records. He plays keyboard, acoustic guitar, percussion, harmonica and sings the high harmonies.Stu and Cosmo and their band Creedence Clearwater Revisited add a new chapter to their legacy with vibrant and exhilarating energy and pure American spirit. As the Hollywood Reporters music critic John Lappen wrote about a Creedence Clearwater Revisited concert in Los Angeles, Their set was an amazing list of hit after hit that was done serious justice by the players involved. If anyone in the cheering crowd was disappointed [anyone] wasnt there, they hid it well behind their big smiles and whoops of joy at hearing live some of the best American rock ever written and recorded. People dont want to be involved in an endless debate, Cosmo sums up. They want to hear the music. And Creedence Clearwater Revisited always delivers.Save
