Miami Science Museum visitors are encouraged to get wet! The Museum recently opened its new exhibit, Sea Lab, an indoor/outdoor attraction that gives visitors a taste of some of the exciting aquarium components being planned for the new Museum, scheduled to open in Museum Park in 2014 (Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science). Sea Lab tells the story of the carbon cycle through a marine community, from photosynthesis and primary production in algae, to the small creatures of seagrass beds, to the top predators of the seagrass food chain: stingrays.
The exhibit will serve as a prototype for our approach to reducing energy consumption in the new Museum and aims to educate and encourage visitor interest in the subject of sustainable energy. The new Museum will be an exhibit in and of itself, an exemplar of best practices in energy management and green design, and a showcase for new technologies. The 250,000 square-foot building is intended to act as a demonstration of ecological and sustainability principles, harnessing energy from water, sun, wind and Museum visitor energy to power exhibits and conserve resources. In this exhibit, all the piping and back of house services are visible and interpreted.
At the Sea Lab, live rays swim and splash in a 3,000-gallon saltwater Touch Tank that visitors can reach into to touch cow nose, southern, Atlantic and yellow stingrays. The 200 square foot touch tank is 3 feet deep and features approximately 30 feet of viewing window space, allowing guests of all ages to touch the stingrays and view the hermit and horseshoe crabs crawling along the bottom.
The adjacent Algae Refugium tank provides the filtration for the main tank and removes nutrients. It is illuminated by an LED fixture on one side and an EnergyStar certified SolaTube (light tube) on the other and serves as a living exhibit of photosynthesis and also as an alternative filtration system for the rest of the tanks in the space. It's also a demonstration and prototype of efficient and passive lighting fixtures. Visitors will have the opportunity to learn about how solar tubes work and why LEDs are a more efficient alternative to metal halide and other traditional aquatic light sources.
The exhibit also features a Seagrass Tank, which is modeled after the photosynthesis tank planned for the Living Core of the new Museum. The cylindrical seagrass tank is home to small creatures such as seahorses, pipefish, grass shrimp and hermit crabs, which thrive on the grasses native to South Florida. Visitors have the opportunity to learn about the complexity of sea grass food webs, human impacts on these marine nurseries and technological innovations being used to restore damaged sea grass beds. A raised platform allows visitors of all sizes to easily peer into the tank and a nearby touch screen kiosk allows for interactive exploration of the tank's inhabitants.
The Invertebrate Touch Tank features small invertebrates native to South Florida, including sea stars, sea urchins, hermit crabs and corals. With the assistance of Museum staffers, visitors will be able to touch the live invertebrates and learn more about them.
Curious visitors are invited to get a more hands-on, up close and personal look at marine life in the Wet Lab. The Wet Lab has four tables for small group or class activities, as well as an electronics cart with a digital microscope, document camera and probeware set all with output to a large screen in the space.
Learn more about our new Museum from this prototype and give us your feedback. For more information about this and other exhibits at the Museum, visit: http://MiamiSci.org

As Jim Miller watched Benson ŌĆ£SmoothŌĆØ Henderson lift the UFC lightweight championship at UFC 144, he could not help but kick himself and think ŌĆ£That could have been me.ŌĆØ On August 14, 2011, Miller had stepped inside the Octagon to face Henderson at UFC on Versus 5, knowing he was not at 100 per cent at the time.
Warming up for the fight backstage in the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the New Jersey native didn't feel right. Devoid of the energy he normally has just before a fight, Miller already felt exhausted when he made his way out to the cage.
Despite this, Miller put on a brave show and went the full 15 minutes but found himself second best throughout the three rounds as Henderson went on to score a unanimous decision win via all three judges' scorecards (30-27, 29-28, 30-26).
In the aftermath Miller did not want to undermine Henderson's performance but did reveal that he fought sick, suffering from a kidney infection and mononucleosis. As a result, he felt he could not implement the game plan he wanted and left second-best as Henderson, with the win, became the number one contender for Frankie Edgar's title.
ŌĆ£SmoothŌĆØ would later capitalize on this win and lift the championship from Edgar at UFC 144 on February 26, 2012 at the Saitama Super Arena in Japan. Watching the fight pan out was uneasy for Miller. When asked did he regret stepping into the cage with Henderson, Miller admitted that it's still a decision that bothers him.
ŌĆ£Stuff happens, but basically, yeah, I kick myself. I should have known something was going wrong but I am a big boy. I still signed all the waivers, stepped inside the Octagon, still made my mistakes and he capitalized on them,ŌĆØ he says.
Thinking about the problems that surfaced during his camp when Miller was struggling with his energy levels, the lightweight contender said he should have addressed the problems sooner. However, rather than blame the illness, Miller paid credit to Henderson, though vowed to give a better account of himself if he gets his chance against the new lightweight champion.
ŌĆ£He was the better man that night. If I can earn my opportunity at him again, I'll put on a show,ŌĆØ he vows.
To do so, Miller will have to get through Nate Diaz first at UFC on FOX 3 which takes place on May 5 at the IZOD Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey. And even if he beats Diaz, Miller may not get his hands on Henderson as former champion Frankie Edgar has won his tussle with UFC top brass and will get his rematch with Henderson in the near future.
And when asked about his gameplan against Diaz, Miller revealed that it's a simple one.
ŌĆ£Fight him. There really is no plans going into it! He is a really well-rounded guy. He did look great in his last fight but I'm a different fighter than [Donald] Cerrone. I'm not expecting the fight to be the same. I'm just training to get better everywhere and make him fight my fight when I get in there,ŌĆØ he says.
ŌĆ£This is a really exciting one and I'm really fired up. I've a ton of respect for him. His whole camp is a great group of guys so I know what he is training with every day, so I really have a fire under my ass for this one and I am looking at coming in the best I've ever been.ŌĆØ

Reverend Leslie Hardman - the Army chaplain who participated in the liberation of Bergen-Belsen and was Hendon Synagogue minister from 1946 to 1982 - died on Tuesday, aged 95.
Leading the tributes, United Synagogue chief executive Jeremy Jacobs said: "He was one of our most senior and most respected ministers, a man full of compassion who dedicated his life to our community."
Holocaust Educational Trust chairman Lord Janner recalled "an outstandingly supportive presence who did so much to lift the morale of survivors".
Rev Hardman's work with Holocaust survivors was recognised with an MBE in 1998.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BBB+' long-term rating and stable outlook to Fort Bend County Municipal Utility District (MUD) No. 30, Texas' series 2012 unlimited-tax general obligation (GO) refunding bonds and affirmed its 'BBB+' underlying rating (SPUR), with a stable outlook, on the district's existing GO debt. The rating reflects our opinion of the district's: Access to Houston's deep economic base, and Very strong finances. We believe what we consider the district's high overall debt somewhat constrains the rating. An unlimited ad valorem tax levied on all taxable property in the district secures the bonds. Officials intend to use bond proceeds to refund a portion of the district's series 2004 bonds, resulting in an estimated present value savings...

The actress, who hit the milestone Jan. 2, was surprised by her fiancé Michael Polish with an opulent Roaring Twenties-themed birthday bash last Friday at The Edison in Los Angeles.
Some 100 of Bosworth's closest friends and family, including her parents, toasted the actress with Champagne as she gave a short speech about how happy she was and grateful for the people in her life.
Most of the guests were in period attire, including flapper dresses and long necklaces, and tried on more 1920s-inspired jewelry at a special station hosted by Tous. (Bosworth was wearing eight pieces from the Spanish brand, as well.)
Bosworth's friends in attendance included Dita Von Teese and Robin Antin.
A big band and an aerialist performed throughout the night, as guests enjoyed Green Fairy absinthe shots.
"Last night was magic," Bosworth wrote on WhoSay the following day. "@michael_polish thank you for the greatest birthday bash! There are no words... Only this. xx," she added, with a photo of the couple kissing.

The Indiana Pacers started off the season with a 3-6 record, not even close to the top four Eastern Conference seed that many expected of them. While they have straightened the ship and moved to a 10-9 record, problems have continued to linger on the offensive end.
Somehow, the Pacers have managed to field the best defensive team in the NBA, holding opponents to 91.1 points per game on 40.6 percent shooting from the field. Meanwhile, Indiana has also scored the fewest points per game, 90.3, leading to their poor start.
This poor offense can partly be contributed to the loss of Danny Granger, but this team still has too much talent to be struggling so much.
The blame for this poor start can be spread among the whole team, except for David West, but who are the most to blame for the offensive woes?
Keep reading to find out.

Something happened when I cast off my Peasy: I simply couldn't wait to cast on again. "What's my next project, and for whom?" I kept thinking. I went through the list of potential recipients, starting with my family: Rebecca? Nope, she really doesn't need new woolens right now. The boys? Nah, they wear tennis clothes all the time. Not Tom either - though, in all honesty, my poor man has been hinting that he needs a sweater, which he really does. But making a full man's size sweater feels a little daunting right now. This is the issue when you handmake something: the younger the recipient, the smaller and more manageable the project. I had to find little recipients.
I developed sharp knitting eyes, with which I scrutinized our circle of family and friends, assessing gauge, number of rows, yarn yardage that each person would need. I crossed teen nieces and nephews off the list - I was years too late to catch that knitting train. Nieces and nephews under the age of 10 went somewhere down the list – still too big a project, but maybe in the future. I continued looking around. Then, finally, I saw him.
See him there? A newborn! The littlest of all possible little recipients! He's our neighbors' great-grandson, and since that photo was taken on one late-summer evening during a street festa, he's outgrown newborndom, but to my knitting eyes he still counts as little.
At last I'd found a baby-sized recipient, and cast on my current knitting project.
Happy weekend, and thank you for your support and enthusiasm about my recent knitting adventures.

Juppe gaffe spotlights problems
A humdinger of a mistake in pubcaster France 2's evening newscast has heaped shame on Gallic public broadcasting, causing heads to roll.
Not wanting to be scooped by private web TF1, which had an exclusive interview with troubled politico Alain Juppe, France 2 anchorman David Pujadas opened the web's newscast by announcing Juppe was quitting politics following his conviction for corruption.
But as France 2 was burying Juppe, in a live interview on TF1 the former prime minister of France told millions of viewers that he had decided to stay put, pending an appeal.
Fortunately, someone at France 2 was watching. During the course of its newscast, the pubcaster retracted the story.
After a turbulent week in which angry news staff laid the blame for the howler squarely on their editorial chiefs, news director Olivier Mazerolle resigned Feb 11. and Pujadas was suspended for two weeks. But since it feels it can't do without him, France 2 is keeping Mazerolle on until next month, and he'll continue to present his regular political talkshow.
The affair has been another blow to pubcasting, compounding concerns over the sector at a time when strikes over pay have caused a two-week news blackout on public radio stations.
But the dark clouds have a silver lining — of sorts. Recurrent strikes in the sector tend to pass unnoticed. In the wake of the France 2 debacle, the pubcasters' plight has been front-page news.

HydroTagger is a website for data managers to map the variables in their data sources to concepts in the HydroSeek ontology. This concept mapping allows us to search for a given concept, such as Nitrogen, and find related variables in various databases no matter what those variables are called in those databases. HydroSeek is an application that uses this concept mapping. Each week, the Network/WSDL Sniffer goes around to web services that have been registered with the Network/WSDL Registry and identifies variables which have not yet been tagged (i.e., haven't been mapped to a concept). HydroTagger can then be used to see if any variables are waiting to be tagged from your database and if there are, you can tag them. Note: HydroTagger works best with Internet Explorer.

AUGUSTA, Ga. - It doesn't always rain at the Masters Tournament. It just seems like it.
The postponement of Thursday's opening round of the 67th Masters was just the sixth time in tournament history an entire round has been wiped out by bad conditions. Since 1998, five of the six Masters have been plagued by poor weather.
"I can't think of any worse than this," said Will Nicholson, the chairman of the tournament's competition committee.
Nicholson should know. He's been involved with championship golf for more than three decades, working for both the Masters and the U.S. Golf Association.
Rainy weather had an impact on the 2002 Masters, forcing 38 players to come back to the course early Saturday to complete the second round. Nicholson, an Augusta National Golf Club member, said the weather was even worse about two weeks after the tournament had been completed.
"We had our closing party, and we had some rain that came down about 5:00 and between the ninth and 18th green they laid some sod covering up where the patrons had been walking up the hill," he said. "And after the rain stopped it looked like the sod had never been laid. The rain rolled it up into nice, neat little rolls at the bottom of the hill."
Although some of the early Masters were held in late March, the tournament has been relatively lucky to avoid more weather-related problems.
Two rounds were washed out by rain in 1936, necessitating a 36-hole Monday finish. In 1938, another Monday finish was required after Thursday and Friday rounds were postponed. The next year, the first round was washed out and 36 holes were played Sunday.
Since that rough start, only four rounds have been completely washed out at the Masters. Heavy rains flooded the course in 1961, wiping out Sunday's play. In 1973, steady rain and high winds combined to wash out Saturday's round. In 1983, the last time the tournament finished on a Monday, heavy rains postponed the second round.
With nearly 4 inches of rain this week, the decision to postpone play Thursday was a difficult one. But Nicholson, along with players and fans, is hoping to finish the tournament on schedule.
"If it's all possible, we'll finish on Sunday," he said.
n 1936: Thursday and Sunday washed out, 36 holes on Monday finish
n 1938: Thursday and Friday rounds postponed, 18 holes Saturday, 36 holes Sunday, 18 holes Monday
n 1939: Thursday play washed out, final day 36 holes
n 1961: Rain Sunday, final round postponed to Monday
n 1973: Heavy rains Saturday, third round postponed to Sunday, final round held Monday
n 1983: Friday's round postponed by rain, final round held Monday
n 2003: Monday practice round canceled; Wednesday's Par-3 Contest suspended; Thursday's round postponed by rain

I WONDER IF the Penguins will complain and whine themselves to a Stanley Cup trophy like they did in 2009.
IT'S CERTAINLY A TOSS-UP between who will win the Flyers-Penguins series, but I can tell you that I'll be rooting for the Penguins because I am tired of all these Flyers fans complaining all the time.
MY ANSWER to The Big Question: The NHL has already decided that the Penguins are going to win the series and eventually win the Stanley Cup. Look at the fines that have been dished out to the Flyers' coaches and the Rangers' coaches for bashing the Penguins. I certainly hope the Flyers win the series, but let's face it: the league office has already decided who is going to win because they are always looking out for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
I PREDICT THAT THE Penguins will win the series in six games. Although I am a Flyers fan, unfortunately I believe that the Penguins are just too talented this year.
WITH THE SENATORS PLAYING their home opener on Thursday night, will Rick Ankiel still be with the Sens by then? No, it is anticipated that Ankiel will not be with the club.
THE HERSHEY BEARS NEED a new head coach. They have been playing absolutely terrible in their past couple of games, and that's certainly not the way that they want to be playing heading into the playoffs. I don't want to go to the Giant Center to watch them be eliminated in the first round.
What would you have done with the golf ball Louis Oosthuizen threw into the crowd after holing just the fourth double eagle in Masters history? Send your responses to firstname.lastname@example.com

The city of Davenport, Iowa says it never intended to change its Good Friday celebration to something called "Spring Holiday."
Residents flooded town leaders with calls after a suggestion by a citizens' Civil Rights Commission was circulated as fact.
City Administrator Craig Malin says the group submitted the idea to another leader, but it was never approved by the City Council.
Davenport City Council member Bill Edmond says he and other members were upset over the apparent name change. He says they were unaware of it until they saw an article about it in the Quad City Times last week.
"I fully support the Civil Rights Commission as does everybody in this city, everybody on this city council," Edmond told Iowa news station WQAD. "However, they were wrong this time."
Malin says residents of Davenport have nothing to worry about and the Good Friday holiday stands.

Cops respond to bathroom break | Federal Way crime blotter
Following is a sample from the Federal Way police log:
• Man stays in restroom too long: At 1:03 a.m. Nov. 24 in the 31000 block of Pacific Highway South, a man entered a gas station restroom. According to the report, the attendant became nervous when the man hadn't exited the bathroom in over 20 minutes. Upon arrival, police attempted to make contact with the man, but received no response. The police then forced entry into the restroom, where they found the man attempting to open a bottle of wine.
• Theft at the gym: At 7:53 a.m. Nov. 23 in the 2100 block of South 314th Street, a victim reported that someone had rummaged through their wallet at the gym. There were no witnesses or suspects.
• Garage door opener: At 7:47 a.m. Nov. 23 in the 29000 block of 1st Place South, the victim's vehicle was broken into. According to the report, unknown suspects took the victim's GPS device, sunglasses and garage door opener.
• Burglars or ghosts?: At 1:54 p.m. Nov. 24 in the 28000 block of 25th Place South, a woman reported someone had broken into her home. According to the police report, the woman stated that someone had entered her home, taken a picture that was on a wall and placed it on the floor.

Is sports concussion doc by 'Hoop Dreams' director in Oscar mix?
"Head Games," a documentary about concussions in sports - from the NFL to Pee Wee leagues - feels like it is coming at a tipping point of a moment.
With the weekly list of ineligible-to-play players and the recent revelation that the NFL paid $2 million to three players with brain injuries, the film couldn't be more relevant. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
Wisconsin State Fair attendance tops a million, most since 1969
Beautiful weather drew record-breaking crowds of more than a million fairgoers to the Wisconsin State Fair this year, numbers that may be a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence, fair officials said.
The 11-day event attracted 1,012,552 attendees, and even weekdays saw as many as 122,000 guests. Total attendance was 10% higher than last year and the largest reported since 1969 — though the fair only started scanning tickets in 2002, which gives the most accurate numbers. »Read Full Article(14)
Even in pink, Miranda Lambert as fiery as she wants to be
For years, Miranda Lambert was country music's female underdog.
While Carrie Underwood was an "American Idol" champion and quickly became the genre's glamorous queen, Lambert was a third-place finisher on cable TV's "Nashville Star" who preferred faded jeans to flowing gowns. Taylor Swift was the sweetheart-next door-turned worldwide pop star, while Lambert was the rough-edged spitfire — famous in her small town for all the wrong reasons. »Read Full Article

APT's 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern' turns 'Hamlet' inside out
SpringGreen — Imagine having never heard of "Hamlet" and then unexpectedly becoming a small-time player in its tangled plot. Or, if you'd prefer, imagine a typical week in your own harried existence, in which you're constantly being made aware of how utterly random life can be — and how little control you really have.
It's all the same to Tom Stoppard, whose "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" fuses the Bard and Beckett in a comic and also moving commentary on modern life. Under James Bohnen's direction, we're being treated to the comedy and the pathos in a stellar production at American Players Theatre, with actors in the same roles they've assumed in APT's "Hamlet." »Read Full Article(3)

Yes! The Monkey King is #1 at the global box office
February 3, 2014 - 11:15
David Konow
Thanks to the recommendation of a friend, I checked out the trailer for Monkey King, and it is some really wild sh*t. While one early review considered it a mixed bag, it's already doing gangbuster business in China, where the myth of the story takes place.

Philip Seymour Hoffman R.I.P.
February 3, 2014 - 11:03
David Konow
Many times I'll learn of a celebrity's passing on Facebook, because a lot of my Facebook friends are film buffs, and they'll post about it there first. When a good friend posted, "No, not Philip Seymour Hoffman," it took a while for the news to sink in, just like any death, and cliché as it is to say it, it is truly a terrible loss.

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition. The reviews are in.

Emory Kale
It was first released early last year, a reboot of a 90s classic given the next-gen treatment by Square Enix. Well, it wasn't quite next-gen enough because, by the end of last year we got the PS4 and Xbox One. Now, the new Lara Croft adventure is even newer. But is it worth another $60?

Even if you don't know the name Rankin Bass, you're certainly familiar with the stop motion puppets they pioneered, and how they told delightful holiday stories that generations of kids have grown to love. In addition, Rankin Bass made one of the coolest Halloween movies for kids, Mad Monster Party, not to mention they also produced the Jackson Five cartoon, an animated version of The Hobbit, as well as the Thundercats series.

When Punk Exploded in the Mainstream Twenty Years Ago
February 2, 2014 - 05:00
David Konow
Being a big punk fan from back in the eighties, I loved the music, and really got off on the insane energy of the live shows. But who ever thought it could crossover into the mainstream? Back in the day, punk was a very violent, dangerous genre, and it was tough to book gigs because the mosh pits and fights were too out of control.

It took him a long time to return, but it was great to see Guillermo Del Toro back in action after being off the big screen for four years. Whether you loved Pacific Rim or thought it was just okay, it was cool to see Del Toro deliver a big, fun sci-fi adventure that rekindled our love for giant robots battling giant monsters.

Back to the Future Musical Coming in 2015

David Konow
We all still have mad love for Back to the Future, not just because of the nostalgia for when we first saw it, but because it still holds up very well. Thankfully rumors of a remake are unfounded - the fans would revolt over that, big time - but there is a musical in the works, and it's slated to debut in London in 2015.

Metallica tried to break new ground with 3D Imax with their concert film, Through the Never, but it was a big loser at the box office.

Sharknado: The Sequel, Coming This Summer

We at TGD have high hopes for the next Godzilla movie because the 1998 American version really blew it, and we're hoping an American version of the big green guy can finally get it right for once. While there's no word yet on how good or bad the movie could be, there's a promising sign that audiences are really looking forward to the famous firebreather's return on May 16.

M Night Shyamalan and Bruce Willis May Work Together Again

It's amazing to think it's been fifteen years now since three huge movies were released that were considered major game changers: The Matrix, The Blair Witch Project, and The Sixth Sense. While many thought the filmmakers behind these movies would go on to great heights, it turned out to be the peak for all of these directors, with M Night Shyamalan especially becoming a major joke in Hollywood.

The Grammys is one of those events that are a lot like the Academy Awards. Often times the right people win, and many times it's obvious the voters don't know sh*t from shinola. This is what happened back in 1989 when Metallica's first opportunity to win a Grammy went to Jethro Tull instead, which caused significant booing from the fans in the audience.

Can Public Demand Get Justin Bieber Deported?

David Konow
Usually we don't cover nonsense like Justin Bieber on TGD, and we think the current media frenzy surrounding this kid is pretty ridiculous. You'd think there's nothing important going on in the world that we see this punk all over the news for drag racing, drunk driving, and egging his neighbor's house. A young pop star makes too much money, his ego goes totally out of control, and he repeatedly makes a fool out of himself in public. Gee, never heard that story before.

Hello all,
I have just installed the fglrx 8.41.7 on my openSUSE 10.2 with kernel
2.6.22-5-259 kernel and I have to say that it's amazing! Despite the fact
that this version is classified as beta for my card, I see significant
improvements. For example, for the 8.40 driver, fgl_glxgears was giving me
746 fps. Now, with the 8.41 driver, I'm getting 1050 fps!
I haven't tried Tremulous or Doom 3 yet as I only had enough time to do a
quick test before heading out this morning.
Has anyone else noticed a speed increase?
To try out the card, you need to pick the HD video cards on ati.and.com.
Between this improved driver and AMD releasing the specs, I think the AMD
take over of ATI may just turn out to be a "good thing". :)
Have a good day,

Sweet potatoes, squash, cauliflower....more olive oil, bacon fat, and butter if you do dairy. Also, choose fatty cuts of beef.
ETA - don't forget cocobutter, coconut oil, and avocado too!
If, out of all the things we really shouldn't eat, but are thinking of doing so (as I'm always hungry!) what would you recommend?
My meals mainly consist of a huge plate of veg and either some chicken, fish, or beef (usually 3 times a day). I have quite a bit of fruit and loads and loads of nuts. But I'm always feeling hungry.
I've heard getting more fats down you can help - but I can't think how to introduce more, so am thinking about turning to some carbs.
I am pretty skinny so (excess) weight is not an issue. Any ideas on what I can do? Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Sweet potatoes, squash, cauliflower....more olive oil, bacon fat, and butter if you do dairy. Also, choose fatty cuts of beef.
ETA - don't forget cocobutter, coconut oil, and avocado too!
If you do dairy, add sour cream, greek yogurt, and natural whole milk cheeses to the above list.
Next time you are hungry drink a can of coconut milk and see what happens to your hunger.
Yes, coconut milk! I love it in a cup of green tea it really helps to curb the appetite.
Thanks for the replies all!
Can't do dairy tho - lactose intolerant
I think I need to find more recipes - as making a filling meal is more my problem, I think.
good ol' fashioned water can help curb appetite as well. I usually have a glass when i feel a bit hungry and it'll do the trick.
Homo sum, humani nil a me alienum puto
Since weight isn't an issue just eat more. Double up on the meats and fat and eat until your full.
Anyone recommend a thread which has everyone's fave recipes? (I'll go do a search now...)
Check out the food porn thread! Most of the pics have links to recipes.
Try making some indian curries too! I made one the other day for the first time and man...it was amazing!
Or Thai curries with coconut milk!!! yummy!

First, I don't recommend cooking with olive oil..use it for salads. Get some coconut oil, and if there's any fat left in the pan, pour it on top of your food and count it all-no need to waste it!
I have been primal for a week and 3 days now. It's going great, but I am wondering about cooking in olive oil or any other type of oil. This afternoon I pan friend chicken breast in one tablespoon of olive oil. How do I count olive oil in my daily intake? In Mark's book he suggests tracking intake on fitday for a while to see how you're doing, so I started that today. So, did I eat one chicken breast and one table spoon of olive oil? I can't figure this out, because there was obviously some oil left in the pan when I was done cooking. I know this is getting really picky but being new to primal I just want to make sure I'm starting off on the right foot. Thanks!

For nutrition/wellness tips:
Thank you, I'll pick up some coconut oil tomorrow and do what you suggest.
why do you suggest not to cook with olive oil? Was that suggestion in Primal Blueprint? I don't remember if it was.
Got curious and looked the answer up myself. On page 132 of Primal Blueprint..."Olive oil, the most monounsaturated oil, offers proven cardiovascular benefits (raises HDL and lowers LDL cholesterol) and has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It's very good for cooking at low heat, but be careful because excessive time at high temperatures can compromise the health benefits of any oil."

I guess I should have asked that too, but I will be buying coconut oil to use as well.
To answer your original question, I'd look what amount of oil is left in the pan and not count that in, but different strokes for different folks.
Coconut oil, for me, is good for fighting cravings too.

Right, some of it is juices from the chicken. Some of the liquid, both juices and oil, would get evaporated too. Ugg this is too much! I wish there was a set way to determine this.
The oil would smoke before it evaporated, so there's no loss there. I would count the entire tablespoon, but I always pour any liquid left in the pan over the food, or make a sauce from it, then pour it all over the food .
Since you're new, I would say not to measure anything just yet. Unless you start to actually gain weight, give it a few weeks, so that you and your body can get used to the new way of eating. After that, if you're not getting the results you're looking for that's when I would worry about getting super specific about that 1 tablespoon, or just how big that chicken breast was, etc.
The key things to remember are: eat real food, grass seeds (grains) are not food, vegetable oils are not food (olives are fruits), and also very important: don't stress! We don't really have a set way because it doesn't work for everyone. We like to keep it easy, and easy means what works for you. As long as you're consistent, you'll be able to tell whether you're going in the right direction or not.
Welcome to the forums and this way of eating, it's always good to have new folks come in.

Plenty of investors feel that Tesla Motors' (NASDAQ: TSLA ) battery-electric Model S sedan represents the future of automobiles. They may yet be proven right, but the truth is that battery-powered cars represent just one of several ways forward.
This week, giants General Motors (NYSE: GM ) and Honda (NYSE: HMC ) announced a big bet on another path: hydrogen fuel cells. In this video, Motley Fool contributor John Rosevear looks at the new alliance and at the challenges facing fuel-cell technology – and at whether it's time for Tesla to start worrying.

Viewsonic ViewBook Pro VNB131 Review
There's no mistaking Viewsonic's design inspiration. From the Apple-style packaging to the brushed-metal finish of the VNB131 itself, this is most definitely a MacBook wannabe. Still, if you're going to base your product on a rival, you could do far worse than choose Cupertino's finest, so the question has to be whether the Viewsonic VNB131 lives up to the standard. Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Actually, I hate Football. In the past, you could have respect for these great football heroes, but that's a time long gone by. I mean, just watch at these people trying to be a star! I turn on the television, sit down and what do I see? Some stupid arrogant snobs who think they are a so damn important. I get really mad because of their inappropriate sense of arrogance. So damn mad I just want to get those people against the wall.
This inappropriate sense of arrogance would be acceptable if they could shoot some balls. Yet all they seem to care off is their pay check. My advice: just stay home and drink some hot coco instead of acting totally ridiculous after a sliding. Acting like a 4 year old kid who just felt of his bicycle is what football players are best at. Yet they seem to heal very quickly, because after one minute of recovering, they are able to pull others shirts like sissies. Now, you should know I'm from Belgium, and it saddens me to say that Belgium clubs are playing bollocks. No luck for Belgian supporters, maybe FIFA 06 can cheer me up. I sure hope so!
Games like FIFA 06 give you the chance of playing with the worst, and beating the best. I can easily humiliate Chelsea, crush Brazil and make kaka shit his pants. The FIFA franchise could never beat Pro Evolution Soccer though. Pro Evolution Soccer was a dictator, a true immense ruler with no chance of winning for FIFA. But you got to admit it, EA Sports are slow learners, but they learn. Maybe this year the gab between both games isn't as wide as it used to be some years ago.
Compare FIFA 99 with this game. In 1999 you could easily beat humiliate great clubs with 10-0 with to fingers stuck up in your nose. Scoring goals far from the penalty dot was more of a rule instead of an exception and it looked like the players were addicted to Speed (the drugs, not the big chief of Fragland). This speed was a real pain in the ass for tactical players. With the arrival of FIFA Street earlier this year we are pleased to announce EA Sports chooses a more decent gameplay in the original FIFA games and leaves behind the fantasy of previous FIFA games.
You immediately notice the slower gameplay of FIFA 06. Finally, you get the time to prepare your actions before striking. It takes a while to understand everything and scoring isn't as easy as it sounds. Fans of Pro Evolution Soccer will be in a much easier condition as FIFA addicted players. It's no secret EA Sports closely overlooked Konami for creating a more realistic football game, though they won't admit this. Konami stays king of football, but EA Sports is getting closer to the throne. And who knows, maybe in a couple of years, EA will be ready to tackle the king of football.
But why isn't EA Sports on the throne this year? Everything looks and feels alright, doesn't it? Well, it's mostly about the little mistakes. I still think the way of stopping a penalty or shooting a corner etc. is a little bit clumsy. You don't really feel that you're in control, because of the meter, which you have to stop in the right square. It's still too much based on luck I guess. Yes, you can say every football game has this kind of system, but I just believe it's unnatural. Luckily, it doesn't ruin all the fun, so it could be worse off course, for what it's worth.
The commentary in FIFA 06 is mostly taken over from FIFA 2005. I don't like these people just talking complete nonsense. I guess it's a relief the English commentary isn't as crappy as the Dutch commentary. But even the Dutch and Belgian people can choose other languages, so that's not such a big problem. The graphics are ok, without being very special. I did find are the strange frame drops in some matches. It sometimes seems the whole game just drops into a black hole of slowness. Too bad, because it messes up the gameplay. Strangely enough, this doesn't occur every match. As if the famous heads of Beckham and Zidane needed more power from my PS2
FIFA 06 is a more than decent football game. Too bad that the small mistakes get in the way sometimes. If the nice people of EA Sports knew a way to finish withthese mistakes, we could have a beautiful game. I think it could be a nice idea to skip a year. That's the only way the gap between FIFA and PES will disappear. A decent game, could be better without all the small mistakes.

THE DOG LISTENER What is your dog telling you? England's Jan Fennell, 55, who has worked with dogs for over 30 years, says she understands their thoughts in The Dog Listener. She spills Snoopy's secrets to PEOPLE.
UNDERSTAND DOG MOTIVES When Rover chews the furniture while you're away, then slobbers all over you when you walk in, it doesn't mean he misses you. "He's saying, Thank God you're not dead/" says Fennell. "The dog panics if he believes he's responsible for you. He's on duty 24/7."
BE THE BOSS Ignore your tail-wagging pooch when you first come home. "People find this one very hard," Fennell says. "But you need to walk past your dog and wait till it calms down. It's showing the dog you're the leader."
GIVE HIM SPACE Her dog Barmie was so shy that he would hide under tables. "I resisted the temptation to shower him with love and affection," Fennell says. Instead, she let Barmie set his own pace, and even when he began approaching her, Fennell wouldn't touch him. After about a month, he came out of his shell.
EAT FIRST Dogs are pack animals whose leader gets first crack at the grub. So let Rex watch you eat before feeding him. "He is in fact a wolf," Fennell says. "He may be little and shaggy, but he's a wolf."

Hope Enterprises and the Children's Development Center have been offering unique brands of special human services for decades locally.
Children with mental disabilities have been given a positive place to develop by Hope since 1952.
Occupational, physical and speech therapy as well as pediatric neurology have been key services of the Children's Development Center, founded as a project by the Williamsport Rotary Club in 1932.
But as effective as the two organizations have been as human services organizations, they still are subject to the same challenges as any business. And in that world, entities merge with smaller ones to pool resources.
And that type of merger was completed last week by Hope Enterprises and the Children's Development Center. It was a tribute to vision and leaders putting parochial egotism aside, a refreshing turn away from the trend in territorial leadership style. As a result, both organizations can help each other better provide the services for which they are known.
And as future funding from the state and federal government becomes less and less a regrettable development brought on by decades of freewheeling, sloppy spending habits this merger will help Hope and the CDC survive and thrive.
The leadership of both organizations deserves congratulations and gratitude from the community for placing the need for and value of their services above any quest for territorial power.
We see an effective partnership that will carry Hope Enterprises and the Children's Development Center into the foreseeable future with new momentum.

Nilsa Guajardo, orientation coordinator at The University of Texas-Pan American, can now breathe a sigh of relief. With the first day of classes August 26, her mission of organizing and conducting 24 orientation sessions - 16 for entering freshmen and eight for new incoming transfer students - during the summer for the fall 2004 semester was successfully completed.
Guajardo, who works out of the Office of New Student and Visitor Services, estimated since April almost 4,000 entering freshmen and more than 500 transfer students had attended the summer orientations. This figure does not include parents of students who attended a separate orientation the same day as their child. Orientation attendance is mandatory for all new incoming freshmen and transfer students.
Participating in an orientation session became a daylong adventure. The students and parents were led through the day that starts at 7:45 a.m. by a group of 20 paid, blue-shirted orientation leaders - a mixture of current international and Rio Grande Valley UTPA students who are trained for two semesters before leading a group. Guajardo said she coordinates all the planning, facilities, faculty, directors and other essentials needed for the orientation sessions, but her student leaders take charge on each orientation day.
"They stay with their group all day and help them register and help advise them. They are so reliable, they are awesome," she said.
All the orientation leaders are bilingual, Guajardo said, and use friendly conversation and "ice breakers" to put their group at ease.
"The new freshmen are making the transition from high school with their little group of friends into a college environment where they don't know anyone. My orientation leaders try to relate and talk to them. They come in real scared but leave our campus with new friends," Guajardo said.
After a greeting in the Student Union from the Vice President or Associate Vice President of the Division of Enrollment and Student Services Dr. John Edwards or Dennis McMillan respectively, the incoming students were introduced to key UTPA personnel managing many of the services available to students at the University - Learning Assistance Center, Student Financial Services and Scholarships, Office of Financial Aid, Admissions and Records, New Student and Visitor Services, High School to University Services, Student Health Services and the Student Union.
Next, following a lively video describing UTPA and a few directions for the day from Guajardo, the 300 students on average, armed with a bag containing a class schedule, yearly planner and a guidebook to UTPA programs and procedures, were divided into six "Meet Your College" groups according to the college of interest to the student.
The orientation leaders then guided the new students through a schedule that included meeting with a faculty member of the college they are interested in, a tour of the campus, special presentations for those required to take developmental courses and then to a lunch in the University Ballroom. Orientations for transfer students include an extra focus on financial aid and career placement services at the University.
UTPA senior Gaby Lopez, a student leader majoring in nursing, encouraged her group during one of the last sessions of the summer to take advantage of the services they are paying for and to get involved in the University. "It is very important to get involved the first year. It is not like high school, there are 15,000 students at UTPA so getting involved helps you get to know people better," she said.
After lunch, students were taken to an advisement session and then proceeded to their final destination of the day - registration for their classes.
Walking toward the Academic Services Building to register, the last step in a long day, Jaime Fernandez, a charter school graduate from Edinburg and an incoming freshman, said he had visited the campus before but had never been on the whole route.
"The University is really big. I was lost at first but the orientation helped me get where I needed to be," he said.
For more information on spring 2005 orientation sessions, contact Guajardo at 956/381-2957.

Editor's note: Part One of the author's two-part interview with Yu can be accessed here, and Part Two can be found here.
Eugene Yu was a teenager when he moved from South Korea with his parents to start a new life in Augusta, Ga., more than 40 years ago.
In high school, he worked the graveyard shift at a local factory, and then rushed home to have breakfast before heading off to school.
When school let out he would go to his job as a bag boy at the local grocery story. After graduating from Butler High School, he entered the US Army, where he worked as a military police officer.
Following his discharge from the Army, Yu worked as a fireman and later as a police officer in his hometown.
According to his official biography, Yu owns "Continental Military Services, Inc., which supplies military grade armaments to our allies in the continuing fight against global terrorism."
Yu is also a consultant for General Purposes Vehicles. This company sells armored vehicles to the South Korean and Egyptian militaries.
Without any previous experience in politics, Yu, a Republican, has entered the Primary battle royal to see who will take on a slim Democratic field featuring political newcomers Michelle Nunn, Branko "Dr. Rad" Radulovacki, Todd Robinson and former state Sen. Steen Miles.
The crowded Republican field includes three members presently serving in the House of Representatives, Rep. Paul Broun, Rep. Jack Kingston and Rep. Phil Gingrey. Also waging battle in the GOP primary is former Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel and political newcomers Derrick Grayson and David Perdue, a relative of Sonny Perdue, the state's first Republican government in modern times.
Yu wasted no time going on the attack. In December he spent money on television advertising to call out the three congressmen in the field for what he calls "a poor voting record."
Yu blasted Broun, Kingston and Gingrey for having poorer voting records than Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid who seldom misses a vote. Reid has only missed 1.1 percent of the roll call votes on the floor of the Senate.
None of the three Republican congressmen can come anywhere close to Reid's voting record. Nor anywhere close to Saxby Chambliss whose seat they are vying to hold. Chambliss missed 3.8 percent of the roll call votes.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution did a fact check of Yu's claim and found it to be true. The AJC found that Broun missed more than 80 percent of the hearings on the Subcommittee on Borders and Maritime Security at the same time he was promoting himself as a strong proponent of immigration issues.
This first-time candidate has two unique slogans: "Vote for Yu for You" and "Washington needs a Yu Turn!"
The re-election of President Obama stirred Yu to enter the race. He said that he "will work to abolish Obamacare."
However, Yu may face a similar problem that most other minorities have faced when seeking to represent the GOP in government: the problem of having to prove they are authentic Americans.
Orlin M. Hardy brought this point to the forefront in his letter to the editor in the AJC when they ran a story about Yu's run for senate.
"I'm retired military," Hardy wrote, "served in WW2, Korea and during NAM. [I] would like to hear more about your background in the political area. How about local government, city, state, or county? You are about to enter an uneven playing field. It is very easy to become tainted when you swim in colored water. The old timers will want to help you. Suddenly you are faced with an identity crisis whom do YU trust. Talk to your soon to be constituents. Find out what 'they' want, and then you will have a place to start. [I] am anxiously waiting to hear you speak so we can ascertain if you have 'love of country.'"
If Mr. Hardy, of Norcross, Ga. is typical of the average Republican voter, Eugene Yu will have to convince his party to make a Yu turn towards acceptance of minorities before Yu can direct a "Yu Turn" in Washington.

Walking the Way of St James is to follow in the footsteps of countless pilgrims who have travelled this route for over one thousand years. The Way of St James is the pilgrimage route to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in northwestern Spain, where the remains of the apostle James are believed to be buried.
This holiday traces the spectacular coastline of surf beaches, picturesque fishing villages and scenic hilly landscapes, dotted with Pre-Romanesque churches set in small historic villages. You will walk through a unique historical landscape, which is very different to that of traditional Spain, with greener, gentler scenery and with a mild climate suitable for walking almost all year round.
Grade: Quite demanding
There are daily flights with Easyjet from Stansted to Oviedo Airport. Alternatively, Iberia Airways has flights on a Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday from Gatwick to Oviedo Airport. There are also flights to and from Coruna Airport which is closer to Santiago de Compostela.
Day 1 Arrival in Oviedo.
Visit the Gothic Cathedral devoted to San Salvador, an important Saint for pilgrims going to Santiago. Enjoy the lively atmosphere in the old town centre with plenty of cafés, restaurants, bodegas and cider houses, just around the corner from your comfortable 4* city hotel.
Compostela Certificate: A pilgrim's passport can be obtained in Oviedo and has to be stamped during your pilgrimage to Santiago at the designated locations. Upon arrival in Santiago you will obtain the "Compostela" an official certificate indicating that you successfully completed the pilgrimage.
Day 2 Oviedo to Grado.
You follow the scallop shell symbols that waymark the whole route through narrow lanes in the city centre, then out into the green Asturian countryside. Lanes and old footpaths take you past quiet villages, some of which still have pilgrims' hostels and historic inns. From Puerma you continue along the road, to Grado. From there you have a short transfer to your rural 3* hotel in Sama de Grado. ~ 6.5 hours, 22.5km, 200m ascent and 250m descent
Day 3 Grado to Salas.
The first part of the route from Grado to Salas follows narrow trails and country roads through hilly countryside directly to Cornellana Monastery. Founded in 1024, this centre was of great religious and political importance throughout the early history of the Christian kingdom in Asturias. Your 3* hotel is located in the historical town of Salas, right next to the castle and museum for Pre-Romanesque architecture. ~ 6 hours, 21.6km, 350m ascent and 300m descent
Day 4 Salas to Tineo.
After a steep but beautiful ascent through woodlands near Salas, you follow the main road for 5km before turning south through peaceful countryside to reach Tineo, capital of dairy production in Asturias. Your 4* hotel is a palace founded in 1525, built in Renaissance style but with very modern decoration. It also has an indoor swimming pool and spa. ~ 6 hours, 20.4km, 500m ascent and 50m descent
Day 5 Tineo to La Mortera.
From Tineo you penetrate further into dense woodlands to reach the monastery at Obona, the first Latin school in the region and retreat for scholars in the Middle Ages. From there you follow woodland tracks and quiet roads to La Mortera, where a taxi picks you up to take you to the friendly family-run 2* hotel in Pola de Allande, well-known for its tasty regional cooking. ~ 5.5 hours, 18.2km, 400m ascent and 300m descent
Day 6 Allande high route to Berducedo via El Palo Pass.
After a short drive back to La Mortera, you follow the original high route - or "ruta de los hospitales" - across the steep slopes of these barren mountains toward Puerto del Palo. Due to extreme winter weather, there were several pilgrims' hospitals on either side of the pass. You will enjoy superb views before you start your descent to Berducedo. Your overnight accommodation is in a comfortable rural guesthouse. ~ 7 hours, 24km, 450m ascent and 325m descent
Day 7 Berducedo to Grandas de Salime.
From Berducedo, pilgrims have to make a detour across the dam, where a man-made reservoir of recent construction has blocked the original Camino. We have chosen a more interesting route through pine woods and open fields to the tiny hamlet of Villarpedre, where a boatman will ferry you across the lake. Once on the other side of the shore, it is just a few kilometres to your charming 3* hotel, noted for its tasty and creative cuisine. You will stay a couple of kilometres outside the village of Grandas de Salime for two nights. ~ 6 hours, 20km, 250m ascent and 800m descent
Day 8: Rest day or Circular walk.
After your first week on the pilgrimage, you might want to take a day off to relax.
If you prefer to have a walk, you could go to the nearby village of Grandas de Salime to visit the ethnographic museum or take a dive in the local swimming pool. ~ 5.5km, 300m ascent
Alternatively, you could continue for another 5.5km along the Camino, to reach the village of Castro with its interesting archeological site of mixed Celtic and Roman origin and take a taxi ride back to the hotel. ~ 3.5 hours, 11km, 500m ascent and 100m descent
Day 9 Grandas de Salime to Fonsagrada.
A taxi takes you to Castro to continue your pilgrims' tour with a section which more or less follows the road to Puerto El Acebo (1030), gateway to the province of Galicia. You then have a long descent with panoramic views and the soft whirring of modern windmills. Your day ends at the modern 4* hotel in Fonsagrada. ~ 6 hours, 20.5km, 400m ascent and 225m descent
Day 10 Fonsagrada to Paradavella.
From Fonsagrada you first descend to the village of Póboa de Burón to pick up the oldest Camino Primitivo trail, a high route across green pastures and fields of heather on the way to the ruins at Hospital de Montouto (another pilgrims' hospital of ancient origin). After an easy descent to Paradavella, a taxi drives you back to Fonsagrada, as there is no other suitable accommodation nearby. ~ 5.5 hours, 18km, 300m ascent and 400m descent
Day 11 Fonsagrada to Castroverde.
Today you will have some lane walking. When you finally reach O Cadavo, you have left the last steep hills of your journey behind. The friendly open countryside of Galicia is littered with grey farmhouses built in granite stone with slate rooftops and huge Pazos or country estates. In Castroverde, you will be picked up by your hosts, owners of a friendly rural guesthouse situated just 5km from the Camino. ~ 6.5 hours, 23km, 425m ascent and 525m descent
Day 12 Castroverde to Lugo.
On your last day of walking on the 'original trail', you can really enjoy the beauty of Galician countryside, as you walk on quiet lanes and dirt tracks from one hamlet to the next, passing superb examples of traditional architecture until you walk directly to your modern 3* hotel in the heart of Lugo's historical centre, just 100m from the splendid Roman walls, a UNESCO World heritage site. ~ 5.5 hours, 24km, 100m ascent and 150m descent
Day 13 Lugo to Plas Del Rei.
From Lugo to Santiago there are several Caminos or ways. We have chosen the least travelled, quieter route via San Roman de Retorta to Palas de Rei. In the morning, you ride part-way with your luggage to O Burgo, avoiding 8km of unattractive countryside outside Lugo. Your overnight accommodation is in a rural hotel near Palas de Rei, which is known for its excellent cuisine. ~ Maximum 8 hours, 37.5km, 200m ascent and descent
Day 14 Palas del Rei to Arzua.
You have now joined the French Route, or Camino Francés, the most popular of all the Caminos to Santiago. Suddenly you find yourself among a multitude of pilgrims from all over the world, as you follow trails, country roads and footpaths parallel to the main road. Your luxurious rural 3* hotel is located just outside the village. ~ 7 hours, 30km, 225m ascent and 400m descent
Day 15 Arzúa to A Rua.
The route today is basically parallel to the road, but there are lots of new friends to make. The excitement shared with fellow pilgrims grows as you near the climax of your pilgrimage. Overnight you will stay at the best available, friendly 2* hotel. ~ 5 hours, 20km, 200m ascent and 225m descent
Day 16 A Rua to Santiago de Compostela.
The last section of your pilgrimage brings you back to modern life as you pass the regional airport, cross the highway, railway track and ring-road around Santiago. Nevertheless, it is still easy to imagine the sheer joy ancient pilgrims must have felt when they caught a first glimpse of Santiago and the spires off in the distance. From Monte del Gozo, pilgrims historically make one last stop at the spring in Lavacolla, to wash face and feet before presenting themselves before the Saint at the Cathedral on Plaza Obradoiro. Your 3* hotel is located in the old town centre. ~ 5 hours, 19.8km, 175m ascent and descent
Day 17 Departure or extra nights in Santiago

Sons of Anarchy's Kurt Sutter Says 'Discussions Are Happening' About Spinoff
Originally posted 11/12/2013 03:45PM
Calling all Sons of Anarchy super fans! You already know season 7 will mark the end of the FX hit (sigh), but good news: a SAMCRO prequel might be on the horizon.
"I've had discussions with the network about it, and I think they are open to it," Sutter told fans at the Sons for Sandy Relief event in Asbury Park, N.J., on Sunday. "I think there is something really interesting about the origins of the club. And to do a period piece set in the '60s, post-Vietnam could be kind of cool. I don't think we would dovetail and start right after the series ended, but it's something I'm potentially excited about it."
Sutter was joined by wife Katey Sagal (whose portrayal as matriarch Gemma Teller Morrow on the show earned her a Golden Globe Award in 2011) and cast members Kim Coates (Tig Trager) and Theo Rossi (Juice) at the benefit, which raised over $66,000 for the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund and Staten Strong.

SANTA FE (AP) - A judge has ordered extensive psychological evaluations for three teen-agers accused of planting dry ice bombs around Santa Fe High School, forcing it to close early last Friday after five of the bombs went off.
Children's Court Judge Barbara Vigil said Tuesday she wanted to determine whether Natasha Yates, 14; Johnathon Spidell, 16; and Kelly Williams, 15, are a danger to themselves or the community.
"The children appear to be OK, but there is something wrong here," she said. "This act is serious, very serious."
She said she would await the results of the tests before deciding whether to release the teens from the Santa Fe Juvenile Detention Facility.
Attorneys for the trio denied the charges against them and asked Vigil to release them.
The three, students at Santa Fe High, were arrested Friday after the dry ice bombs went off at the high school campus, outside of buildings. A sixth bomb was found, but police disabled it before it went off.
Dry ice or water bombs are made of dry ice and tap water in plastic bottles. The combination causes pressure to build up inside the bottle and eventually it bursts.
One student and a security guard were injured when one bottle burst, the student was hit on the shoulder by what police believe was a flying cap from the bottle, police Sgt. Stanley Mascarenas said.
Williams' attorney, Val Whitley, said the incident was serious but the students meant no harm.
"These aren't Palestinian terrorists," Whitley said.
Prosecutors said, however, it was not a harmless prank.
They said students cowered under their desks after the bombs went off, not knowing what was happening. Students were locked in their classrooms for two hours while police checked the buildings.

Re: JLA Puroresu
Jack Evans is going to pin Taka Minchoku- 1, 2, 3! That's a promise from Ring of Honor!
LiveWire Review:
Inoki/CTU segment- Great job here. Inoki is just announcing the PPV matches, not doing anything wrong, when the top heels come out and start messing with him. Inoki seems to like Tanaka, but just wishes he didnt rejoin CTU. Well written, Liger very in character, and good announcements. Can't wait for the ROH vs JLA match!
Dragon vs Juventud- Awesome match, I just felt there were too many dropkicks/suplexes (I know they use those moves a lot, but there was a whole paragraph with just those moves). Other than that, it was well written and made Juevntud look really strong until Ultimo got the reversal into a pin, surprising everyone with the three count. I love Ultimo, so him winning is always good.
Akiyama segment- Short, sweet, and to the point. Akiyama is positive that, whatever happens tonight, he's going to beat Kobashi at G1. Also, Sasaki may interfere? Interesting
Michinoku vs Negro- Nice display of moves be each opponent, Negro taking the upper-hand during the match. I actually haven't seen Negro wrestle, but I hear he's a high-flying kind of guy, and you represented him that way. Michinoku reverses the powerbomb and then quickly goes for the finish! He got it! He basically stole the victory from Negro
Michinolu promo- Whethere you love him or hate him, he IS going to represent your JLA against my ROH. Too bad he won't be winning, but maybe the fans will start to respect him. Good promo, keeping him a heel while still trying to get the fans respect
Black/Mask segment- Not much to say, Tiger trying to get revenge for getting screwed out of his shot at the title. I really like this feud, and I can see it escalating very fast. Love to see a match between these guys
Tanaka vs Kendrick- Very long and well written match. Kendrick working on those legs and giving it his all to pick up the victory for his shot at a title. Kendrick seems to be dominating until Tanaka gets a surprise german suplex on him. Now Tanaka is in control...but wait, Kendrick hits the superkick! Damn, now Tanaka hit the superkick and Kendrick knocks the ref down. Now Morgan runs in....and this is over. CTU steals a victory for Tanaka, and I'm sure the wrestlers backstage are just as pissed as Kendrick
Inoki/Tiger segment- Inoki continues to take no crap from the CTU, telling Black Tiger deserved what he got and is going to get punished. But here's the best part: he's getting punished by wrestling two of my ROH stars at the PPV this sunday! I can't wait to have my guys kick their ass!
Kobashi vs Akiyama- Of course, MOTN. All your matches are so descriptive and well written, I can visualize the matches. Great way of showing how powerful Kobashi is in his debut match at JLA. Kobashi dominated the whole match, and just when Akiyama was about to make his comeback, Sasaki's music hits, but there's no Sasaki?! Kobashi uses this to his advantage and finishes the match.
Sasaki/Kobashi segemnt- Well there he is, running in and attacking Akiyama when Kobashi left the ring. Kobashi tried his best to help, but metal chairs hurt a lot don't they? Great hype for the G1 match, hopefully it does remain a fair match!
Overall- 9/10. All of your matches are written well and show a great display of moves. Also everyone is in character and the feuds are really intriguing. The only thing is, most of your matches follow the exact same pattern: One of them dominates the first half of the match, then the other starts to make a comeback. It could go back and forth, have someone dominate the entire match, have a few comebacks, etc. Just got a little repetitive in this show, your others shows usually vary a lot. I can't wait to see how Jack Evans does again Taka Michinoku. Also, Black Tiger and Matt Morgan will not be walking out of ROH with a victory.

Desktop Linux is Dead, but Linux is Still the Future
Robert Strohmeyer has recently proclaimed the death of the dream of Desktop Linux, after himself being an author of one of those infamous "This is The Year of Glossary Link Linux Desktop" articles in 2008. Frankly, I wouldn't quite say that the dream is dead, since many people can and probably still do keep on dreaming about it, but as far as the reality goes, it probably is dead, and I wouldn't quite argue otherwise.
The trouble is, this doesn't really mean all that much as far as the overall success of Linux as an Glossary Link operating system platform is concerned. As Mr. Strohmeyer himself noted in the end, the desktop itself is essentially dead or dying. Succeeding in a market just when it is becoming more and more irrelevant isn't much of a triumph anyway.
