The first match race I sailed in was the 1998 Santa Maria Cup, crewing for Dawn Riley. About match racing: Match racing is one of the best examples of a team sport in the world. Let your team do their job and all the pieces will come together. Competitors THE AIRPORT SHUTTLE Team Tunnicliffe � USA Sp on Sored by McL aren Anna Tunnicliffe, Debbie Capozzi, Molly Vandemoer, Liz Bower World Rank (as of 8/4/11) 2 About the skipper: My first sailing experience was when I was around age 3 with my mum at a reservoir in Northern UK. We were sailing a boat called a Mirror, and we capsized about 400m offshore. About skippering: Only do what the boat can do! Have all the plans in your head, and then pick the play that is the best for the boat you are sailing. About her team and her goals: We have been together for over two years now. We are training for the Olympics and we want to bring home a gold medal for the USA. Team Lehtinen � Finland Sp on Sored by aud i Silja Lehtinen, Silja Kanerva, Mikaela Wulff, Annina Takala World Rank (as of 8/4/11) 8 About the skipper: I've sailed with my family all my life. My dad taught me to sail, and I started racing Optimists at age 8. About match racing: Match racing is tough and exciting! I like it because everyone has equal equipment, on-water umpiring means no protest hearings at night, and no boat work means more time on the water. Team Bossard � France Julie Bossard, Pauline Chalaux, Pauline Courtois, Elodie Fauve World Rank (as of 8/4/11) 12 About the skipper: I started sailing in Brittany when I was 7, and first match raced in 2003 as tactician for Claire Leroy in Trentino ITA. About her team: This is our first time competing together! We grew from a 3-person Elliott team, and my teammates are a very good friend, a very funny girl and a very good bowman. We want to have fun, and positive results, of course! 4 � 2011 Santa Maria Cup A Special Supplement to SpinSheet Magazine Team Ruhlman � USA Maegan Ruhlman, Abby Rowlands, Katy Lovell, Stephanie Roble World Rank (as of 8/4/11) 26 About the skipper: My first sailing experience was sitting on my mother's lap on the Lightning saying, "Mom, hike harder. This is fun!" I grew up sailing Lightnings and I think they are one of the best classes for every racer, because they offer world class competition alongside family and fun. About her goals: Every time our team steps out on the water we are just looking to learn more and continue to grow as sailors. The best thing about the sport of sailing is that you can never know it all; there is always something more to learn. Also of interest: Team Ruhlman won the Sundance Cup two years in a row to qualify for the SMC. The Ruhlman and Rowlands families are EYC members. SPONSORS Competitors 2011 Women's Match Racing Championship � 5 Team Silva � Argentina Martina Silva, Ana Lucia Silva, Trinidad Silva, Maria Eugenia Bozzo World Rank (as of 8/4/11) 34 About the skipper: My father taught me to sail an Optimist when I was 8. I started match racing about a year and a half ago with my two sisters, Ana and Trini. About match racing: Match racing is like a chess game. Not only do you have to consider the wind, the starting line, the marks, the current, etc., but also what is your opponent going to do next. As a skipper, I think it's important to maintain focus, remain calm and think clearly about your next move, especially when you get a penalty or are behind in the last leg of the race. Team Dellenbaugh � USA Becca Dellenbaugh, Katie Pettibone, 3rd and 4th crewmen TBA World Rank (as of 8/4/11) 36 About the skipper: I started sailing when I was 9 in an Optimist called "Nipper." My favorite boat to race is 29ers. About match racing: Match racing incorporates all features of sailing into one competitive, team-oriented sport in which each race brings new tests and technicalities. A race is never over until the finish, so stay in it! Team Ferris � Canada Sharon Ferris, Caroline Kaars-Sijpesteijn, Barbara Kaars-Sijpesteijn, Joanne Prokop World Rank (as of 8/4/11) N/A About the skipper: I learned match racing at the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron Youth Programme. When I was 16, I raced in the NutraSweet International Match Racing Championships and we won against all the guys! I competed in Olympic sailing for 20 years, and took off in 2008 to have my daughter, Sofia. About her team: When match racing was dropped from the 2016 Games I realized it was now or never, so I contacted good sailors with the desire and ambition to win. Caroline is intelligent and level-headed with a natural talent for sailing, Barbara is our strength and fast fix-it girl, and Joanne has the best grip of the rules and is my backup for ideas and plans, plus she can trim a spinnaker in any position I put the boat. w w w. s a n t a m a r i a c u p . o r g Did You Know? � SantaMariaCuporiginated inBaltimorein1991,asan "America'sCupforwomen" and"thenation'sfirstmatch regattaforyachtswomen."

Rubber guard in MMA
George Sotiropoulos´ (damn thats a hard name to spell) use of it against Joe Stevenson at UFC 110 was very impressive and has made me want to learn it. But what was really interesting is that he basically got away with wearing pants. He just wore really big shorts and giant ankle and tights padding.
People have questioned the use of rubber guard in MMA and said that Shinya Aoki would not do well in the UFC because he wouldnt get to wear his magic pants, interestingly George Sotiropoulos seems to have found a way around this dilemma and if Aoki, the Nr. 2 LW in the world ever does join the UFC then I´m sure he´ll take a page out of George´s book....

The room was filthy. The ceiling in the bathroom was falling down (pictures were taken), the toilet in the bathroom ran CONTINUOUSLY. Some of the lights in the bedroom did not work. The receptionist's attitude was horrible. Although it was the hotel's mistake that my room was overbooked Hey suggestion to me was "I can give you a room with two Queen beds and I can give you a rollaway bed... And I won't charge you for it." Other than that they suggest I contact priceline and get my money back. As I told her I was 220 miles from home and had to have a place to stay. So in the end I was forced to pay for an upgrade to a suite. I feel that because the mistake was theirs the upgrade cost should have been theirs as well. ...

Kim Holland, director of Nursing and Therapy Operations at Yadkin Valley Home Health, said home health workers discovered after going into the homes of new patients some were without food or resources.
They observed often it takes time for social service programs or other programs such as "meals on wheels" to be implemented and with the waiting period some people are going without.
Holland said a food pantry idea was born and later implemented at the home health center designed to meet that need.
In the past, Holland said staff members or others have bought food to help. The idea of the food pantry idea was developed to meet a important need for basics.
It is "a way to help for the short time," said Holland.
In May, Yadkin Valley Home Health initially announced it would begin taking up food and received a good response from the community and hospital staff, said Holland.
Since, the business has kept the new food pantry stocked and plans to keep it for the long haul, she said.
Holland said college health care intern, Sarahi Govea, a rising senior at Appalachian State University, helped plan the project and was instrumental in getting it off the ground.
The director said Govea made contacts in Wilkes, Surry and Yadkin counties, researched guidelines, organized the food space and location, and developed worksheets for nurses and staff to track the pantry supply.
Holland said Govea's is the first internship at Yadkin Valley Home Health and called it a "huge success."
To qualify for the food pantry, persons must be home bound, have a physician's order and have a skilled need, said Holland.
Yadkin Valley Home Health is a skilled home health agency for nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy and is located at 213 Winston Road in Jonesville.

The world of Howler's sophomore album

Somewhere on No Age's "Loosen This Job," in the thatch of Randy Randall's guitar noise and the spiny drum clicks of Dean Spunt, one can just make out Randall's yelp of "Why are there so many records in my life?" Or so it seems. Recently interviewed on the Paper Thin Walls website, Randall reveals that he actually says, "records of my life," but such misinterpretation suits them, too. They can also be paranoid about T.I.A. while obsessing over their Troubleman Unlimited seven-inch collection.
This young L.A.-based duo surround themselves with records in more ways than one: They extol the virtues of everyone from Greg Ginn to Kevin Shields, Pavement to Karp, while simultaneously releasing a spate of singles on five different DIY labels (Teenage Teardrops, Deleted Art, Youth Attack, Upset the Rhythm, and Post Present), all on the same day! Those sides are conveniently collected on Weirdo Rippers, a brusque and invigorating half-hour of ambient guitar baths and guttural outbursts. While opener "Every Artist Needs a Tragedy" cloaks itself in the type of static that Pavement did circa Perfect Sound Forever, they then go full throttle on "Boy Void."
Throughout, No Age prove themselves adept not just at nailing four-track texture, but crafting catchy punk hooks, too. On standout "Dead Plane," the duo loose three minutes of feedback bliss before plunging into three-chord fuzz redolent of the Ramones, had they copped both Brian Eno's adenoidal British accent and his Discreet Music tendencies.

MIDDLETON -- A Treasure Valley school won a great reward Friday for creating a culture to go on after high school.
The J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Foundation Go On Campaign says what students and teachers were able to accomplish at Middleton High School is something the entire state should be emulating.
At the Middleton High School auditorium, students were called to an assembly Friday morning, but they don't know why.
This is great, said Principal Mike Williams. You feel the energy in this audience today. They have no idea what's about to happen. None, I love it.
Go On t-shirts were all over the place giving students some idea of what was going to happen.
We've been spreading rumors for fun, but actually, I have no idea what we're doing, said senior Victor Dias.
The first part of the assembly highlighted the great work the school has done in its partnership with the Go On Campaign.
We want our kids not only to come to school, but be prepared to go on to post secondary opportunities, and this is one of our focuses. This is our theme, said Williams. Let's go on, let's do more than just go to high school.
Ninety percent of the school took the pledge to Go On. That's a record. As the saying goes, work hard, play hard. Lucky tha DJ from 103.3 KISS FM gave them that playing opportunity with the first 200 tickets to the Boise Music Festival
That wasn't their only surprise.
Make some noise, you guys are the winners of the Go On Prom, announced Lucky tha DJ.
That prom will take them Big Al's in Meridian. It's an all expenses paid night of games, bowling, dancing and food paid for by the J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Foundation.
It's sweet. It's so cool to be awarded for something that we've been working towards this whole year, said senior Skyler Ellsworth.
I'm so pumped. It's going to be awesome, said senior Sierra Turner.
They're completely deserving of this award. They've worked hard all along, and honestly they are the models, said Alex Davis with the Go On Campaign. If every high school in the state of Idaho could emulate Middleton, we'd be in a great spot right now as a state.
Idaho currently ranks 47 in the nation for the proportion of students going on to college, vocational training or the military after high school.
The Go On Campaign says Middleton won because they had and executed a great plan that started with school leadership.

The Orange County Register
LOS ANGELES - The Lakers ended their day on a good note after beginning it with bad news.
Luke Walton returned from a strained hamstring and scored 18 points to help spark the Lakers to a 106-78 victory against the Clippers on Thursday night at Staples Center.
The Lakers swept the season series for the first time since the 2002-03 season.
More important, they closed back to 1 1/2 games behind idle New Orleans for the top seed in the Western Conference playoff race to set up a showdown between the teams Friday at Staples Center.
Walton took some sting out of the news that center Andrew Bynum was not cleared to practice and his return is unknown.
Walton sank three 3-pointers and Jordan Farmar made two during a 25-3 run to start the fourth quarter. Walton's third from beyond the arc made it 98-64 with five minutes remaining.
His 18 points was one shy of his season high.
Kobe Bryant had an off night with 16 points on 6-for-17 shooting. Lamar Odom had 14 points and 13 rebounds.
Elton Brand scored 15 of his 23 points in the first quarter for the Clippers. Teammate Al Thornton finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds.
The Lakers pulled away late in the second quarter and took a 51-42 lead into halftime.
Farmar's 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Lakers a 73-61 edge after three quarters.
Bynum was not cleared for full practices or contact drills after he saw specialist Dr. David Altchek in New York.

Nice article
That was a nice article, absolutely tongue-in-cheek... But I guess "normal people" don't care much about being dependent on some geek, as many tell me, when I advise them to get a Mac, "Oh, I don't care about viruses/bugs/overall Windows sh¡ttyness, my boyfriend/girlfriend/neighbour can fix my PC for me at any given moment"... Duh, what about buying a Mac and NOT having to have it fixed, ever (or either fix it yourself or have it fixed in 1/2 as long as it would take to fix a PC)?
On a side-note, I still don't get those dumb-ass trolls that keep saying that "MAC is teh sux0rz coz of 1-button mouse!!1!"... Have they ever heard of the Mighty Mouse, multi-touch MacBook scroll-pads, or USB, for that matter?

Apple Mice suck - prepare for rant
Sorry but Apple makes terrible mice. I believe I have used just about every one they have ever sold and hate all of them.
The Mighty Mouse is innovative in that it has a scroll ball instead of a wheel. However it does not reliably distinguish between left and right clicks making it frustrating to use in many applications and a handicap when used for games. The side buttons cannot be assigned different functions. The ergonomics make it a pain to use for extended periods of time. It is also a little on the heavy side and doesn't glide across surfaces as well as many other mice.
Apple has excellent design in most areas but their mice still don't stack up to the competition.
The lack of multiple buttons in Apple laptops also drives me crazy.
Sure, I can and do buy other mice to use with my Macs - but I shouldn't have to.
As for the single button:
The single button pointing device design philosophy is both outdated since the vast majority of computer users are now used to using multiple buttons and flawed to begin with. The design philosophy stemmed from the idea that each button should have a discrete function and that function should be clearly labeled. Apple design engineers figured it would be the most clear if there was only one function for buttons on the pointing device. That means they don't have to be labeled or deal with the confusion between using the left or right hand.
However, people have figured how how to use mice and trackballs and touchpads and such with multiple buttons and have actually grown to rely upon them. I used a Powerbook 145B in the distant past and it was great - except for the fact that both buttons next to the integrated trackball had the same function.
Also, Apple has failed to conform to this philosophy by failing to label their keyboards with the same graphical icons they use within OS X. Look down at the function, option, shift, and caps lock keys and compare them to what you see under keyboard shortcuts within the keyboard and mouse section of system preferences. These should match to avoid confusion by the same design philosophy.

Yeah, with the exception of the earliest macs, a la System 6 and 7, the one button mouse should have died years ago. Apple needs to design a simple, elegant, 2 button mouse, in Right, and Left handed versions. (I loathe those ambidexterous bastards.) With forward and back buttons and a scroll wheel, not ball. Basically, they need to but a Logitech laser mouse and paint it white I guess.
On a side note, this guy does open himself up for flaming, but he brings up very valid points. The average computer user practically needs a Mac. The average computer user would definitely do better with a Mac than a Windows PC. For the enthusiast in the house, a.k.a. Me, you install bootcamp and shoehorn an nVidia 8800 in the Mac, you can play all the latest games with ease, even though XP will only address one quarter of your ram for some reason, and you leave OS X for the rest of your family to use. (On a side note, I only use bootcamp to play games, and a very few things, i.e. Visual Studio, that won't run on a Mac. For everything else, I use the Mac).
Not only the best, but by far the most versatile computers in the world. And Macs can be quite a bit cheaper if your looking at the Top of the Line. i.e. a Dell server with 2 2.66 GHz quad core processors is almost three thousand MORE than a comparably equipped, FASTER Mac!

I found it amusing that the first comment below the article was "if you're so into Microsoft bashing, why not encourage them to use an open-source OS?"
Some people just don't get it. First off, the article had very little MS bashing. It was strongly pro-Apple, but simply restating what everybody already knows about Windows (that it requires significant maintenance to keep running well) is hardly MS-bashing.
And the point of the article is that ordinary users do not have the desire (and often don't have the ability, either) to perform Windows maintenance. Macs are a good alternative, because they require much less maintenance. Linux, on the other hand, requires even more technical ability to maintain, not less. Unless your goal is to spend the rest of your life performing tech support for your friends and neighbors, you really don't want to transition them to Linux.
The one-button mouse works remarkably well for almost all applications, and it is easier for newbies (especially those new to computers, not switchers) to learn. There have been plenty of scientific studies performed that back up this assertion.
And no, I'm not saying that I prefer it. I actually use an MS Wheel Mouse on my Macs at home. I'm saying that there are a lot of people that simply get confused by extra buttons and wheels and stuff. It's far easier for an expert to buy the mouse he likes than it is for a newbie to realize he has a choice.
And Apple makes a multi-button mouse the standard, you can bet that software developers will soon abandon support for one-button mice, and those newbies will no longer have the option to use a simpler device.
But if you're lucky enough to develop Mac software for a living, or if you're just writing code for yourself, then yes, XCode is a big deal. I've found that writing software for the Cocoa environment is a lot more fun than for other environments.
The only really nasty problem I've found is when running UNIX apps with X11 for the GUI. X11 apps assume the presence of three buttons. Some programs (like Emacs) have useful functionality bound to things like ctrl-rightclick, which can't be performed at all using a one-button mouse. Fortunately, I don't usually run X11 apps from my laptop, and when I have to, I have a USB mouse to attach.
I suggest you spend a week working tech support for any IT department. See how many people get confused when you tell them to "click the right button" or "right click" as you try to walk them through a problem.
You are falling into the same trap that a lot of power users fall into. You forget that you are nothing like the typical user, and things you require serve only to confuse most people.
In theory, theory is the same as practice. In practice, it isn't.
|May 29, 2007, 12:24 PM
About the keys: on all the keyboards in this house, they match the symbols?!
About the one button mouse: switch girlfriends often. Then you can repeatedly teach fresh parents in law to use computers for the first time. It's fun, and you soon will learn the positive side of one button mice.
By all means, do not use a hammer.

Mockingbird Valley is a 6th-class city in Jefferson County, Kentucky, United States.[1] Since incorporation, there has been some interest in making it a historic preservation district, largely to prevent unwanted development. The population was 190 at the 2000 census. It has the highest per capita income of any location in Kentucky and the tenth-highest of any location in America.
Located directly to the east of Louisville along the Ohio River, Mockingbird Valley is frequently referred to as a "country enclave" and is noted for its rural feel. It is located on river bluffs and rolling hills, with large homes set back from the road, heavy tree density, bridges and walls using traditional local materials, as well as undisturbed rock outcroppings. One-third of the roads are privately owned, and the entire city is zoned residential except for a small commercial parking lot.
The first house, Rock Hill, was built in 1840 near River Road and still remains. Although it was initially agricultural, wealthy Louisvillians eventually began building summer homes in Mockingbird Valley, starting with Atilla Cox in 1905 (nearby Cox Park is named for his wife Carrie). An interurban railroad soon allowed for commuting to Downtown Louisville, and the first year-round house was built by Stuart English Duncan in 1908. Planned subdivisions were soon built in the area: the Jarvis addition in 1912, Green Hills in 1924, and Overbrook in 1929. It incorporated as a city in 1940. Development has continued slowly as late as 2006, with a final subdivision, Mockingbird Valley River Bluff, being built on 15 lots covering 54 acres (220,000 m2). The city's history is roughly similar to that of Glenview and Anchorage, two other eastern Jefferson county cities.
The Louisville Country Club is located near Mockingbird Valley, built in 1905 and designed by Walter Travis. In 1999, it was one of several private clubs named in a discrimination lawsuit and was eventually forced to turn over its membership records, though no investigation was ever conducted by the state Human Rights Commission. It admitted its first black member in February 2006.[2]
Mockingbird Valley is located at 38°16′14″N 85°40′46″W / 38.27056°N 85.67944°W (38.270520, -85.679496).[3] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.2 square miles (0.5 km²), all land.
As of the census[4] of 2000, there were 190 people, 74 households, and 58 families residing in the city. The population density was 905.4 people per square mile (349.3/km²). There were 82 housing units at an average density of 390.8 per square mile (150.8/km²). The racial makeup of the city was 97.37% White, 1.05% Asian, and 1.58% from two or more races.
There were 74 households out of which 29.7% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 77.0% were married couples living together, 2.7% had a female householder with no husband present, and 20.3% were non-families. 18.9% of all households were made up of individuals and 16.2% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.57 and the average family size was 2.95.
In the city the population was spread out with 25.8% under the age of 18, 2.1% from 18 to 24, 16.8% from 25 to 44, 31.6% from 45 to 64, and 23.7% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 49 years. For every 100 females there were 90.0 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 78.5 males.
The median income for a household in the city was in excess of $200,000, as is the median income for a family. Males have a median income over $100,000 versus $14,375 for females. The per capita income for the city was $134,745. None of the families and none of the population were below the poverty line.

Report: Bruins send Ryan Spooner back to Providence
|11.03.13 at 3:22 pm ET
According to Kirk Luedeke, the Bruins have sent forward Ryan Spooner back to Providence. Spooner was recalled Thursday and has played in the Bruins' last two games, picking up a secondary assist in each contest.
With Spooner back in Providence, the Bruins can insert Jordan Caron back into the lineup after the 23-year-old spent the last two games as a healthy scratch. It is also an indication that Loui Eriksson, who is back skating, is getting closer to making a return to the lineup.
Eriksson skated in Saturday's morning skate (non-contact), and it is currently unknown whether he has been cleared to take contact. Whether he participates in practice Monday will be very telling in that regard.

Very pretty and finally what I was looking for.
May 13, 2014
This is a very pretty chiffon print, and I had been looking for this exact thing since last year. The actual galaxy shown in the pictures is in the center of the panel and there are darker star space around it. It's a very detailed print which is really nice (you can tell that it's a galaxy even though it's sheer)
The only things that I don't like is that the length of the panel is not listed. It's ~26". The other thing I don't like is that it's Poly. I would have LOVED for this to be silk, but the poly quality is great for the price.
PLEASE NOTE: The above numbers are estimations only. Please take into account garment size, lining and fabric width.

Best foods to eat for building muscle
When you're trying to build muscle, it's important to do it right so you'll see results and not get discouraged, especially if it's the first time you've set off on this type of fitness endeavor. The best foods are those high in protein and low in fat, because protein is the main macronutrient that builds muscle mass. Here are some of the top foods to include in your diet for building muscle:
- Eggs: These small but mighty spherical wonders are a powerhouse of nutrition. The whites are low in fat and very high in protein, which is why so many people are a fan of straight egg white omelets. But don't discount the yolks! They contain vitamins D, B6 and B12, E, folate, iron, phosphorus, riboflavin and zinc, and they also contain plenty of protein. Calorie for calorie, eggs have the highest biological value when it comes to protein intake, making them a true, underrated superfood.
- Salmon: Not only is this lean fish a great protein machine, it also improves heart health with omega-3 fatty acids. These are also important because they improve your recovery time after a major workout by decreasing the muscle-protein breakdown that occurs. Omega-3s have been shown to potentially reduce fat accumulation as well.
- Quinoa: This super grain has had a drastic rise in the popularity in the fitness community in the past few years, and for good reason. Quinoa contains essential amino acids and complex carbs, which give you sustainable energy to make it through an intense workout. The high fiber content in this nutritious grain is a great fat-buster.
- Yogurt: You'll find an excellent combination of protein and carbs here. It's not necessary to eat plain yogurt either. However, you also don't want to buy yogurt that has too much added sugar, but the types with fruit on the bottom provide a good boost of energy from insulin to keep a protein breakdown from occurring after you work out. Pack in the protein – nearly 20 grams – with Greek yogurt.
- Almonds: These crunchy nuts contain plenty of alpha-tocopherol, or vitamin E, which is an antioxidant believed to prevent free-radical damage and thus promote muscle healing. Grab a handful for an easy, high-protein snack.
- Water: Drinking enough water for muscle growth should be a no-brainer. Water keeps the entire body healthy and functioning properly.
Why raking leaves and other outdoor chores are great exercise
Sometimes, the best kind of exercise happens when you don't even know you're getting a workout. Autumn is an excellent time for some of these "hidden" workouts, because there's typically plenty of yard work and maintenance things to do around your home.
Raking leaves is just one of these hidden exercises. Why? When you rake leaves, aside from filling your lungs with fresh air, you will also work the major muscle groups in your back, shoulders, arms and legs, as well as improving your cardiovascular health by raising your heart rate. In just 30 minutes of raking leaves, you can burn around 150 calories! Just thirty minutes of raking and squatting to scoop the leaves up and transport them fits into the CDC's recommended daily exercise for adults of 30 minutes of moderate exercise per day.
However, you probably don't have enough leaves to rake your yard every day, so here are some other ideas for an outdoor, maintenance workout:
- Fertilize your lawn – using an aerator requires a lot of upper body strength and can help you work up a real sweat!
- If you have a wood-burning fireplace, chop wood and then carry and stack it. This involves aerobic exercise, squatting, bending and it also works your shoulders, back and arms. In 30 minutes of chopping, you can burn more than 200 calories!
- If you live in an area where year-round lawn maintenance is a must (for example, there's no snow on the ground), then you can get some good exercise by mowing your lawn with a push mower rather than the riding variety.
- If your home is in a snowy area, break out the shovel and snow blower. Shoveling can burn a whopping 225 calories in 30 minutes, while pushing a snow blower for 30 minutes uses more than 150 calories.
- Climb a ladder and clean out the leaf-clogged gutters, which will take core energy to stay balanced while you work with your hands.
Ways to exercise with your family
For some of us, exercising is the cherry on top of an already wonderful day, or the thing that makes a bad day good. For others, working out just feels like another task added to an already busy day. Maybe you'd rather be spending precious hours with your kids, spouse or other family members, or perhaps they could all use a bit of exercise too. Get everyone off of the couch and make it more fun with these family-friendly workout ideas:
- If the weather isn't optimal, do a fitness DVD together, which will likely be entertaining and prove to be a good work out.
- Turn on some music and clean the house together, which will burn a lot of calories between dancing and scrubbing the floor. You will also be doing three important things at once: keeping the house clean, getting some exercise and spending time with family.
- Train for a race together. Sponsored walks, half-marathons and various fun-runs are all the rage right now, and they often have shorter distance events for kids. Choose a race or walk for a good cause and train with your kids and spouse to get some quality family time.
- Head to a new public park that you've never visited before. Spend the day walking and exploring together.
- Celebrate special days like birthdays or holidays off from school with fun physical activities. You can bike together to get frozen yogurt or head to a local wilderness site for camping, hiking and connecting with nature.
- Visit a working farm together. As we become more urbanized as a country, we are less connected to where our food comes from. Many farm owners are trying to remedy this and get a little help by offering opportunities to work on a farm for a day. You and your kids can volunteer your services – cleaning up, pulling weeds, caring for animals or working in the garden - and also learn more about our food system. You'll burn some serious calories from all the walking and working, and your kids will learn respect for animals and nature.
- Organize a neighborhood-wide or extended family sporting event like a soccer, softball or kickball game. This will be a lot of fun for everyone and you'll hardly know you're getting a workout!
Why not give it a TRI?
Ask yourself these three questions:
Are you having trouble getting motivated to get your health and fitness under control?
Are you easily bored with just doing the same old thing over and over and over and over?
Do you want to start training for fun but have the chance to do more over time as you progress?
If you answered yes to these then I have a simple solution, Triathlon.
Q.) What is triathlon?
A.) A triathlon is a race that combines swim, bike, and run (in that order) to allow you to work the whole body, get a mental challenge in the water, feel speed on the bike, and obtain the glory of finishing a hard run and crossing the finish line.
Q.) Ok Dustin, but that's too hard! I can't train for those super long races. Don't those people stay out there for like 17 hours? Isn't that the Ironman?
A.) Great question and you will love the answer. Actually, Triathlon comes in TONS of distances. There are Sprints, Olympic, Half Ironman, and Full Ironman. I will break them down below.
Sprint Distance Triathlon – 1/2 mile swim, 12-14 mile bike, 5k run (3.1 miles)
Olympic Distance Triathlon – 1500 meter swim (.93 miles), 40k bike (24.85 miles), 10k run (6.21 miles)
Half Ironman Distance Triathlon – 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, 13.1 mile run
Full Ironman Distance Triathlon – 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, 26.2 run
Q.) Why should I pick Triathlon?
A.) You will never be bored. When you are bored with swimming, you can bike, and when you are bored with the bike, you run, and when you get bored of the run, you swim! It's a great thing! I love training for triathlon because it keeps my whole body trained, it keeps me mentally stimulated and excited about learning all three disciplines to the best of my ability. Triathlon has become such an important part of my life. Since there are so many distances to race I never get bored and I can always challenge myself to do more. Also, since you are training swim, bike, and run you can participate in solo events of all kinds. If there is a 5k, 13.1, 26.2 race then jump in! A 25, 50, 100 mile bike tour? Go ahead and ride! An open water swim? Have at it! If you only run then you can only do races involving running. This gives you unlimited training, racing, and FUN opportunities!
Q.) Ok, This sounds cool… But how can I afford all this stuff? Won't I need to buy a TON of stuff just to train?
A.) Yes, you need stuff but NO it won't cost you an arm and a leg… You need a bike (any kind will do for starters.. Mountain, Road, Hybrid, etc), goggles, a pool or any body of water, bathing suit, running shorts, and some running shoes. That's it! Keep it simple at first until you start learning about the sport. I am a 2X Ironman Triathlete and I still use an old road bike that I traded some junk for on craigslist, it's a $175 bike. Yes, people spend a lot of money on expensive race stuff but you don't have to get that stuff to do these races. Use the K.I.S.S method, Keep It Simple Stupid! This method saves you money, time, and if you keep it all simple you won't over think things. It's a swim, a bike, and a run, that's it!
Q.) This sounds like it's going to take up a TON of my time… I don't think I can commit to that kind of grueling schedule.
A.) Whoa, hold on there cowboy! Who said you had to commit to ANY schedule. Even if you do ONE swim, ONE bike, and ONE run per week it's probably WAY more than you are doing right now. So don't worry about putting together a crazy schedule that you cannot stay with. Remember, you are trying to change your lifestyle, have fun, and get your health and fitness in check. Don't over do it!! Too far, too fast, too much, too soon = Injury. I would rather you take it nice and easy and keep it FUN!!! Ideally you want to do 2 swims per week, 2 bike rides per week, and 2 runs per week. I don't care what distances you cover at first, just get out there and get moving

I'm Dustin, and this is my son Boston… First, I'm a dad before anything else, after that I'm a 31 year old vegan expatriate Hoosier living right outside of New Orleans, LA.
On June 12th, 2011 I had a bit of a wake up call and began my road to the ironman 140.6 mile endurance event and after that I've got some big plans, so it won't end there… This is my outlet to vent, rant, promote, and let everyone know what's up.

What are trans fats?
If you compared our bodies to machines, they would be some of the most complex, with very intricate processes that need careful maintenance and proper fuel. In our well-oiled machine-bodies, trans fats are the substances that will gunk up the system – invading our arteries and affecting our hearts. Here's what you need to know about these unhealthy fatty acids that are terrible for us:
What are trans fats?
Trans fatty acids don't occur naturally, except for very small amounts in meat and dairy products from grazing animals. In fact, trans facts are manufactured through a process called hydrogenation, in which hydrogen is added to vegetable oil to make it less likely to go bad. Manufacturers of processed foods often use trans fats because they are inexpensive, keep oils solid at room temperature and give foods longer shelf lives.
So, what's the problem?
Until the 1990s, little research was done on trans fats. Today, we know that they are bad for the heart because they raise your bad cholesterol (LDL) and lower the good cholesterol (HDL) – something that contributes to heart disease and stroke. Trans fats have also been linked with certain cancers. Researchers still aren't sure why trans fatty acids are so bad for people, but they think it is because hydrogen makes the oil difficult to digest and our bodies recognize it as saturated fat.
Where will you find them?
On the ingredients list of various manufactured food items, trans fats are also likely to be called "partially hydrogenated oils." These are often found in the followingtems:
- Fried foods
- Commercial baked goods (cookies, donuts, crackers, cakes, etc.)
- Fast food
- Canned soup and instant noodles
- Cake mixes
- Frozen foods (pot pies, waffles, pizza, fish sticks, etc.)
When to get the flu shot
Being sick with the flu is the worst, especially during the holiday season when you would rather be eating cookies and sipping on spiked eggnog. So, it might be a good idea to get the flu shot to protect your immune health, especially if you're one of those people that just seems to catch everything that's going around.
The flu vaccine is available in a shot or nasal spray form. While the vaccine doesn't protect against every type of influenza the same as others, it's formulated to reduce your symptoms of the most virulent and common strains of influenza each season. The flu vaccine is advised for anyone older than six months. and it's especially recommended for seniors, pregnant women, children, people with disabilities, those living in nursing homes, people who are overweight or people with lowered immune systems due to health conditions.
You can get the flu vaccine whenever it is available in your area, which often begins as early as September. Most people should try to be vaccinated by the end of October, as there are occasionally shortages of the shot. The flu season typically peaks in January or February, and it has been known to last until May. Thus, even if you don't receive the flu shot until December, it will likely still be worth it.
While the vaccine has been shown to be effective in making one's symptoms less severe, it doesn't automatically prevent you from getting the flu. There are other things you can do to protect yourself. Try an immunity booster like Symbiotics Colostrum Plus Immune Formula, which supports a robust gastrointestinal tract and helps protect you by keeping your immune system strong.
Do I need a multivitamin?
Multivitamins are dietary supplements that contain a combination of vitamins, which are organic substances in plants and animals that our bodies depend on. As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in an April 2012 study, the majority of Americans get enough vitamins every day in their diets. However, there are plenty of people who can benefit from a multivitamins. It's important to talk to your doctor first, but here are people who might really need to take a vitamin supplement to support their daily diet:
- Adults who are 50 or older could benefit from a multivitamin that contains vitamins B-12 and D, especially if they don't eat enough B-12-foritified foods. It's common for older adults to be deficient in B-12 for various reasons, and they often can't absorb as much vitamin D as their bodies need.
- People who have several food allergies, are lactose intolerant or are limiting foods from their diets for other reasons will often need a multivitamin.
- Strict vegetarians with limited diets should consider a multivitamin, especially because it can be difficult to get vitamins D and B-12 from vegetarian meals.
- Doctors will often recommend a multivitamin for those with an acute or chronic medical condition who are unable to absorb adequate nutrients from their foods, such as going chemotherapy.
- Pregnant and lactating women will need to take a special prenatal multivitamin.
Tennis star Novak Djokovic went gluten-free and it changed his life
Sometimes extreme changes aren't as weird as they seem. When Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic took the advice of his doctor to make some major dietary changes in 2010, people called him eccentric. Turns out, the tennis pro – then ranked in the top-10 in the world – had some major surprises up his sleeve, as soon after his dietary restrictions, he became the number one tennis player in the world.
So what were dietary changes did he make? Djokovic decided to go completely gluten-free. He also avoids dairy and caffeine, including two favorites in most people's diets: coffee and chocolate. For some unknown reason, he has also reduced his intake of tomatoes. Djokovic swears by this diet, saying it gives him more energy and he lost 11 pounds right away. Still, in an August 2013 Wall Street Journal interview, he admitted it was difficult at first.
"First few months, you know, I felt that need for sugar instantly after the meal, if you know what I mean. I would just take teas now and kind of try to satisfy my needs. But it wasn't as easy, you know," Djokovic said.
While gluten-free and various other dietary restrictions aren't for everyone, Djokovic surely benefited. He was up against Rafael Nadal in the championship game of the U.S. Open this year. Though Nadal bested him, Djokovic certainly has come a long way and will most likely remain a major force in the tennis world.
If you're interested in going gluten-free or making other dietary restrictions, either for health or weight-loss reasons, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor or a nutritionist first to find out if you should supplement your new diet with a multivitamin.
What does GMO mean?
Everyone has heard talk about GMOs recently. These genetically modified organisms have been all over the news, blogs and various social networking sites for awhile. Some people are concerned about them while others are not. If you don't know what the discussion is all about, here's some info to get you tuned in to the conversation:
What are GMOs?
Despite the semi-frightening name, genetically modified organisms are not extra-terrestrial blobs that are ready to take over the world. GMOs in fact are plants or animals whose genes have been modified in a lab by scientists using bacteria or viruses to make them more resistant to pesticides or crop blights or to produce their own insecticides.
What are they in?
According to a study by the Center for Food Safety, GMOs are in 60 to 70 percent of the products on our supermarket shelves. The most common genetically modified crops are soybeans (at least 85 percent of soybean crops in the U.S.), corn, oils for consumption and animal feed. As corn products, soy and various oils make up a large part of processed foods and the majority of farmed animals likely eat GMO feed, some people are very concerned about the amount of GMOs consumed in the U.S. There are various movements to limit GMO production and to label foods containing GMOs, though little research can be done on GMOs because most of the seeds are patented.
Argument against
Many people say that GMOs cause various health problems in humans. More research needs to be done on their impact on the human body, but GMOs – 80 percent of which are meant to be pesticide-resistant – are likely bad for the environment because they encourage liberal use of pesticides, which have been shown to wreak havoc on the environment, animals and human bodies.
Argument for
However, not everyone is against GMOs. Genetically engineering crops to resist common diseases or drought can help feed hungry people. Additionally, if the technology is used for good, it can improve the diets of impoverished people around the world, as is the case with the development of golden rice, which includes beta carotene, a very important nutrient for health.
Brain foods that will help your kids study
Research has shown that kids who eat breakfast perform better in school – they can concentrate more easily and have improved memory. So, set your children up for success with these foods to give them sustained fuel throughout the day:
- Eggs: Aside from having protein, eggs are also important for kids because the yolks are an excellent source of choline, a B vitamin that is especially important in childhood for healthy brain and liver development and memory. For picky eaters, make eggs more appealing by scrambling them with cheese or serving them in the form of a breakfast sandwich. Other excellent sources of choline – though perhaps less amenable to the young palette – are tofu, beans, Brussels sprouts, yogurt and lean beef. Buckwheat is also an excellent source of choline – use it to make pancakes or waffles, which kids typically love.
- Whole-grain cereal or oatmeal: These breakfast or anytime foods are a great source of complex carbohydrates and fiber and are kid-friendly foods. Even the pickiest kids like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, so put tasty, natural ingredients between whole-grain bread.
- Leafy greens: It's hard to get kids, and even some adults, to eat leafy greens. But they provide plenty of iron, which is good for brain development. Try to hide spinach in a "green smoothie," mixed with berries, Greek yogurt, honey, other fruit and ice. You can even name it to make it more appealing to children.
- Berries: It's often pretty easy to get kids to eat berries, which have important antioxidants that have been shown to improve memory. However, if you have a particularly picky eater, smoothies are always the way to go when it comes to berries.
- Bright veggies: These also have antioxidants important for brain health. If you can't find other ways to get your kids to eat them, bake them as fun and tasty veggie chips.

How long will the Dow keep its weakest stocks?
He added that "we have a history of measuring GM for the auto industry. For the moment, we'll stick with that."
Jeff Hirsch, editor of the Stock Traders Almanac, said it wouldn't make sense to shuffle out the Dow's cheaper companies considering how weak the rest of corporate America is.
"Show me a company that's worthy of replacing one of the 30, and I would consider it," Hirsch said. "I don't see it myself."
When the Dow replaces a component, it often does so with another stronger company in the same industry. In the late 1990s, Home Depot Inc. took the place of Sears Roebuck & Co., while Wal-Mart Stores Inc. succeeded Woolworth Co.
Jefferies & Co. chief market analyst Arthur Hogan said that another bank like Wells Fargo & Co. could replace Citigroup or Bank of America, while a transportation company like UPS or FedEx Corp. could succeed GM.
Hogan argued also that the Dow's job is to not only to reflect what is going on in certain industries, but also represent the most influential industries in the U.S. economy. Once dominated by railroad companies and industrials (hence its name), the Dow Jones industrial average now includes many technology and pharmaceutical giants.
And last fall, after American International Group Inc. was taken over by the government, Dow replaced the insurer with a consumer staple brand: Kraft Foods Inc.
The Dow kicked out Honeywell Inc. last year, too, in favor of Bank of America – not because Honeywell was weak (Honeywell's stock has been doing much better than BofA's) but because industrials have become a smaller part of the economy, Prestbo said.
The quandary now is whether the economic roles of automakers and banks are shrinking, too – and whether that should that be reflected in the Dow.
"It begs the question," Hogan said, "is it representative of industries that are important in a current analysis of the U.S. economy?"

Versant Delivers Swedish Epic-Pop, Fronted by a Bona Fide Siren
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 20 /PRNewswire/ — The brainchild of Carah Faye Charnow, former frontwoman of the Grammy-nominated Shiny Toy Guns, and producer Daniel Johansson, Versant dwells in the ether of great pop synthesists like M.I.A. and Arcade Fire — courageous artists who are redefining modern pop with a niche that extends deep into the mainstream.
Heartbeats, their sparkling debut, synthesizes electro-melodicism with up-to-the-minute textures that ignite both dance floors and rock clubs. "Our goal was to start new chapters in our lives without drawing from our past ones," explains Charnow about her collaboration with Johansson, who also produced the title track of 2009′s Crossing the Rubicon for fellow Swedes The Sounds. "This was truly a fresh start, and for that to be worth it, we really had to make sure everything was just how we wanted it."
A lengthy recording process yielded deft pop collages that meld the organic and the digital: at any moment, saloon-style pianos or otherworldly synth swoops will punctuate Charnow's soaring, multi-layered vocals. Listeners are left continually surprised by what the next musical moment will reveal. "We had one rule for ourselves: 'How does it make us feel?' Whether or not other people would like it only weighed us down and made us compromise."
Online anticipation continues to build for the release, and the band has been reaching out with highly personal video postcards and performances, including an impromptu cover of "S.O.S" by Abba that was chosen by fans in an online poll. The video comments reveal fans' connection with the music as well as a deep loyalty towards the band's charismatic frontwoman.
"We've put everything we have into the songs on this EP, as well as many more we have yet to show. We want as many ears as will listen to have the chance to experience our music." With the same ambitious smile that is evident in the music, Charnow adds, "That said, I want to see it everywhere!"

DETROIT, Nov. 7 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A team of researchers from Wayne State University, in collaboration with Basrah Medical College in Basrah, Iraq, released a study published in The New Iraqi Journal of Medicine today on war-related mental health disorders among Iraqis ten years after the Gulf War.
Bengt B. Arnetz, Ph.D., professor of Family Medicine and Public Health Sciences in the School of Medicine at Wayne State University led the team of researchers to conduct a mental health study among Iraqi soldiers and civilians who are still residing in Iraq that were exposed to sustained socio-environmental stress since the Gulf War. Prior studies have been confined to Allied forces that have had a number of important confounding factors including deployed soldiers who were not accustomed to the Gulf War's geographical, ethnic, cultural and microbial characteristics, as well as the desert climate.
Following the Gulf War, veterans were returning to their native countries with increased mental and somatic symptoms, similarly being reported by soldiers deployed in recent conflicts. Previous studies have noted that the Gulf War appears to have resulted in a higher prevalence of medical symptoms with a longer duration, although no consensus as to the underlying reason for elevated psychological symptoms exists.
The researchers aimed to determine whether mental health disorders differ between Iraqi soldiers deployed during the Gulf War as compared to Iraqi civilians. It also studied whether soldiers deployed closer to the war epicenter exhibited more mental health disorders as compared to soldiers deployed further away.
The study concludes that Iraqi soldiers that took part in the Gulf War
face many of the same mental health disorders that plague Allied soldiers,
and exhibited significantly more mental disorders than civilians. Those
soldiers closest to Kuwait were at a higher risk which suggests a link to
