Question by Glenn 4334 · Feb 01 '11 at 05:32 PM · muscles anatomy
This has nothing to do with diet, but it is an interesting evolutionary biology question. Banging your shin (which nearly always happens from the front) hurts like hell and can cause injury. Having the bone exposed that way seems like a design flaw. Why didn't we evolve to have our calves protect the bones by being in front of the tibia? The muscles of the hips cross over bones in all directions, so I think the calves could have the same attachment points and still work from the front. Any ideas? (I know this is a weird one!)
My theory is that hunter-gatherers weren't as clumsy as the processed food/grain eating people of today and didn't bang their shins to begin.
Me personally? I notice I am not clumsy anymore since avoiding grains, dairy and all processed food. It was affecting me that much.Total Views:

The muscles of the hips cross over bones in all directions, so I think the calves could have the same attachment points and still work from the front.
Muscles of the hip pull in various directions, yes, but that doesn't mean they are located out of line with their attachment points. They are in fact located as directly in line as possible with their attachment points.
All muscles are located this way because any other arrangement would be less efficient. Natural selection optimizes our bodies for efficiency.
The calf muscles pull our heels toward the backs of our legs. The calf muscles are located between those points so they can draw the points toward each other. Any other location for the muscles would be less efficient.
Our lower legs have to be designed efficiently so we can run fast. That's why nature makes lower legs as thin as possible and locates the leg muscles as high as possible. The lighter the foot and lower leg, the faster and longer we can run. That's why animals that run a lot have skinny lower legs and heavier upper legs.
As with all engineering decisions, this design requires a tradeoff. As the lower leg gets lighter, it becomes more fragile and breaks more easily. This is bad. But it's also bad if the animal can't run fast. Natural selection weighed the two criteria and struck a balance.
Now, it's true that some muscles wrap around bones. The supinator of the forearm is an example. When our hand is pronated, the muscle twists around the radius like this:
But still, the supinator is located as directly as possible between its attachment points. The bone is in the way so the muscle wraps around it, but still, the muscle takes the most direct possible path. This is different from what you are suggesting for the calf muscles. Your suggestion would make the muscle lie outside the most direct path.
Edit: I've oversimplified a bit. I should add that some tendons are wrapped with bands of ligaments that redirect the direction in which they pull. The ligaments act almost like pulleys. The muscles that straighten our fingers and lift our toes are in this category. These ligaments allow the muscles to be out of line with their attachment points.

Muscles only pull. They don't push. If your calves were in the front, you would have problems walking. Not sure the foot would even work as it is.

Fellas...shins are the least of our worries. What "designer" thought it was a good idea to hang our most sensitive and evolutionarily critical organs in a thin sack on the outside or our bodies?! I mean c'mon.
Answer by Blue -the Thrifty Mom 2783 · Feb 01 '11 at 06:37 PM
I don't think that it is a 'design' flaw, it's just how animals' rear limbs evolved. That's the most efficient configuration.I'm pretty sure that all animals rear limbs are basically the same in structure (exceptions being sea mammals whose hind legs have atrophied).
From birds to horses to alligators to kangaroos to primates the hind leg structure is almost identical - the only difference is length of bone and how we locomote (is that a word?)
The shin question is moot - what we think of as a shin is much higher up on, say, a horse (their stifle is our knee, their hock is our heel) and in much less danger of banging. We aren't THAT far from our 4 legged stance (in evolutionary terms).
So a horse is short from hip to stifle (knee)long from stifle to hock (our heel) and from hock to fetlock (our toe joint) and walks on his single toenail. A kangaroo stands upright like us but is also long from stifle to hock and hock to toe joint and hops.
Primates are long from hip to knee and knee to heel ... but then we have very (relatively) short bones from there and we walk in our unique heel-toe gait.
Same bones structure just different parts on the ground and different movement.
It was set the same way hundreds of millions of years ago and all of us - alligators, kangaroos, horses, and humans have evolved differently to use it as best suits us.
Sorry so long! This stuff fascinates me. :D
Answer by Laurie D. 2158 · Feb 01 '11 at 08:14 PM
Because if you bang your shin, it will have little to no effect on your reproductive ability. You'll survive the bang and still pass on the calf/shin genetics to your offspring. We can only evolve with the genes we have, which call for a calf in the back (as another reply stated). Natural selection for traits tend to select for genes that are potentially in the genetic code (barring a beneficial mutation of some sort). Then you must add in the the ability to pass on that code to offspring. Basically, we work with the genes we are handed down, and if we can tweak them for a reproductive advantage, then changes may occur but otherwise, we'll just go on banging those shins.
Answer by mari 7510 · Feb 01 '11 at 06:02 PM
To push forward they would need to be in the back I believe. I'm no anatomy expert, but I don't know how they'd push us forward from the front.

With the new year fast approaching and the economy still at best uncertain, what's a Quad Cities business to do to prepare for growth in 2011? That is the million dollar question now isn't it?
If you are going to be successful in 2011 there are three things that are an absolute must:
1. You are going to have to learn how to mine your current database to create recurring as well as referral business.
2. You are going to have to develop an online strategy that engages both your current clients/customers as well as those who may have a need for your products and services.
3. You are going to have to learn about how social networking should play a major role in your marketing efforts.
With an understanding of these things, you can not only maintain your current level of success but you can grow significantly even in a economy with as many questions as the new year will bring.

Authorities still investigating Lombard police shooting
LOMBARD – An incident in which a Lombard police officer fired his service weapon during the early morning of Sept. 27 after being confronted by a man "brandishing a handgun" is still under investigation by the DuPage County Major Crimes Task Force, said Lombard Police Chief Ray Byrne.
Officers were called to a home in the 400 block of West Harrison Road at about 3:45 a.m. Sept. 27 to investigate a harassment complaint. When they walked up to the front door of a home, they encountered a man with a handgun. In response, one officer took out his service weapon and fired, but no one was shot or injured.
The suspect was taken into custody by additional officers who responded to the scene and transported to the Lombard Police Department.

Nicole Gelinas:
Romney made a good point about the Dodd-Frank financial-reform law, e.g. that it enshrined five big banks as "too big to fail."
This point is correct in that the law allows the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) to designate Systemically Important Financial Institutions (SIFIs), including the nation's five largest banks.
The implication is that the government will be responsible for ensuring that they don't fail, so if they do fail, it is the government's fault, and the government would have to make up for that. This issue not just domestic, but one of foreign policy.
To wit: right now, we see Europe devoting tremendous sovereign resources to help Spain bail out its banks. If Europe is taking this tack, it expects America to do so if and when it is necessary in the future, and the Dodd-Frank law does not discourage this thinking.
It is surprising and gratifying that Romney, who doesn't often mention Wall Street, brought up the financial system largely on his own and got into a little bit of detail.
Romney should make his point into a big speech about what it means for capitalism in general to have a financial system that is immune from market discipline.
His point about people not starting banks in their garages, though, is less promising. We need more small start-up banks, and there is no reason good regulations could not encourage people to start one-branch banks to grow and compete with larger banks. Otherwise, we have an oligopoly in finance.

I do wonder.. and hope dearly, that there is an air gap separation between the in car wifi systems and the actual vehicle systems.

text: Home Culture Sweeping Through the Rom-Com Clichés Jumping the Broom plays it by the numbers in this "rich girl meets working-class guy" romance. But lots of sins can be forgiven in a movie that includes Angela Bassett and Mike Epps. Cue the laughs. By: Authors Posted: May 6 2011 12:52 AM 0 There are rules, of course, when it comes to making a rom-com. The boy must get the girl. The girl must get the boy. They will invariably "meet cute." All sorts of impediments will obstruct their exceedingly convoluted path to happily ever after; hilarity, havoc and heartbreak will ensue ... you get the picture. If the filmmakers are lucky, while they're fiddling with this age-old formula, some sort of alchemy will happen, and the result will be a When Harry Met Sally -- or a Love Jones. If they stumble and add too much of one ingredient and too little of another, then, well, you're stuck with the Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Or a Just Wright. Jumping the Broom, the latest entrée in the romantic-comedy blockbuster sweepstakes, fits into neither of those categories. It's certainly not destined to be a classic; nor will it go down in cinematic ignominy. Starring Laz Alonso as Jason and Paula Patton as Sabrina, and directed by Salim Akil (The Game), Jumping the Broom comes in squarely in the middle of the pack. It certainly meets all of the rom-com criteria, from the cute meeting (Sabrina literally runs over Jason in her sports car) to the ensuing hilarity (two words: Mike Epps) to the obstacles blocking the way to Happyland (that would be Loretta Devine as the mother-in-law from hell). If anything, the filmmakers focus too much on playing things by the numbers instead of letting things flow free-form at times. As soon as T.D. Jakes (one of the producers), playing a minister counseling the young couple, announces, "Even a soul mate can really test you," it's time to cue the testing. Plot, meet predictable. Still, a good cast can overcome a myriad of shortcomings -- in this case, an oft-times plodding script; an awkward marriage of a chaste, profanity-free, God-filled story and raunchy masturbation jokes; and, it must be said, Patton's over-the-top acting. On the plus side, Jumping the Broom boasts a stellar cast, with enough talent to keep the viewer distracted: Alonso; Devine; Epps as the country cousin taking everyone down a peg; Angela Bassett as Sabrina's snotty, French-speaking mother; Tasha Smith as the reluctant cougar to a very young swain; Brian Stokes Mitchell playing the husband-dad with a secret; and Valarie Pettiford as Sabrina's peripatetic aunt, who's got an even bigger secret. The filmmakers certainly know how to titillate: The movie opens with a close-up of Sabrina fastening her bra -- from the back, that is; this movie is strictly PG. She's just had yet another one-night stand gone bad, and she's praying fervently to the woman upstairs: "I gave up the cookies for a nice body and some mediocre conversation ... I don't think I can even spell 'mediocre.' " If God gets her out of this very sticky situation, she promises -- promises! -- she won't give up the cookies again until her wedding night. This will, of course, be easier said than done, because in the very next scene, Sabrina meets Jason, the love of her life. Sparks fly, and soon Jason's on bended knee in front of Lincoln Center, and wait -- is that El DeBarge serenading on a grand piano on the sidewalk? It's all too rushed, too breathless, too unbelievable. The car accident! The proposal! El DeBarge! At one screening, several men in the audience actually groaned out loud. Fortunately for the viewer, the action quickly moves between Martha's Vineyard, where Sabrina's high-society family is planning the wedding to end all weddings, and Brooklyn, N.Y., where Jason's working-class mother is nursing a giant-sized grudge because she has yet to meet her baby boy's intended. And when said baby boy sends a limo and a driver to pick her up the day before the wedding -- and the bride announces that she has no desire to literally jump the broom -- well, it's on. Class warfare breaks out on the island, and no one emerges unscathed. Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

Sep's Side Kick Dodgers
SEP'S has designed this trolling SideKick to provide maximum vibrations from the smallest, lightest dodger available. When trolled at slow speeds, SideKick transmits a swimming, surging action to lure or bait. Its side-to-side erratic action produces vibrations and action that cause fish to strike.
Works well with lures or bait...such as grubs,trolling flies or just a worm. Use a 6-12" leader, attached to the swivel. Troll slowly and feel the action "kick" in! Great for trout, kokanee and even landlocked salmon.

The Referendum on Separation for Scotland: Unanswered Questions
HC 1806, Sixth Report of Session 2010-12
- Author:
- House of Commons - Scottish Affairs Committee
- Publisher:
- TSO (The Stationery Office)
The report 'The Referendum on Separation for Scotland: Unanswered Questions (HC 1806)' examines the main areas identified by the Secretary of State for Scotland, where clarification is required.
The main areas for discussion are:
bank regulation;
pension payments;
the national currency;
membership of international organisations;
Scotland's defences; and
the cost of separation.
The Committee has asked members of the public to submit their questions on which matters need to be clarified within these themes, and what additional questions need to be resolved. In addition the Daily Record launched a campaign in support of the inquiry and its readers have also submitted a series of questions.
All the questions received so far are published with this report and will form the basis of the inquiry. Many relate to specific policy areas where the answers would most likely vary according to which political party or parties formed a Government in a separate Scotland.
These questions will be crucial to voters in determining which party they might vote for in any Scottish General Election post-separation. The Committee says the main structural and institutional issues which will form the constitutional architecture of a post-separation Scotland, are more pressing in terms of enabling the electorate to make a choice on how they would vote in a referendum on separation. It is these questions that will be the focus for the Committee.
The Committee recommends that as a matter of urgency, the Secretary of State for Scotland takes responsibility for clarifying the UK Government's position on appropriate matters, by co-ordinating work across the Cabinet.
The Secretary of State for Scotland must also work with the Committee to provide a joint provision of factual and unbiased information to the people of Scotland.

"No government can stand idly by when terrorism strikes," he wrote. "It is the solemn duty of all governments to protect their citizens from danger."
"Not a word on UN or Pope or Int'l law," Philip Gourevitch, a staff writer at The New Yorker, commented about the 1999 article. (Putin mentions the pope in his op-ed this week as being among those opposed to a U.S. strike against Syria.)
Senator's stomach turns
The overall tone of Putin's latest broadside was too much for Menendez, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who said he read the article at dinner on Wednesday.
"I almost wanted to vomit," he said. "I worry when someone who came up through the KGB tells us what is in our national interests and what is not. It really raises the question of how serious the Russian proposal is."
But plenty of people seemed to think Putin had scored points against Obama.
"I think it's sad to see him acting with more common sense and humanity than Obama," said Ashton Blazer.
"Putin made a compelling, though disingenuous, case against military strikes. Its effectiveness shows how badly Pres Obama was outmaneuvered," tweeted Marc Lamont Hill.
Power plays
Others saw it in less subtle terms.
"#Putin diplomatically serves it to Pres. Obama in the last paragraph. Can't believe the #nytimes ran this," wrote Mary F. Mueller.
For some people, the tension between the two presidents has become a spectacle in its own right.
"Putin plays his next move on our very own NYTimes. This is almost getting as good as Breaking Bad," wrote Twitter user @MiketheEye.
Others said the tone of the article brought to mind some of the famous photos of Putin in macho poses.
"Putin wrote his Times op-ed on an Underwood, shirtless, with hunting knife nearby," joked Chris Regan.

In 1909, an impoverished Jewish immigrant arrived in Hamilton, Texas, hawking 1-cent bananas from his pushcart.
Haskell Harelik had fled Russia to escape pogroms, docking not in Ellis Island but in Galveston, Texas, via a plan to route Eastern European Jews to the West. He spoke no English and was the first Jew the Hamilton residents had ever seen. But he found some friendly faces, and he stayed in that Baptist town, founding a dry goods store and raising three sons there.

Hello people!
I am Tittan, a 38 years old man from Norway, who has been playing various role playing games the last 26 years. The last years have been a bit slow, but now I'm game mastering a really cool Call of Cthulhu campaign with one of my best friends. If you want to see what we're up to, please follow this link to our obsidian portal campaign.
I don't want to list all the games I've played, so I'd rather list my favourites:
Call of Cthulhu - my all time favourite.
Paranoia XP - if you want crazy, look no further.
Dungeons and Dragons 3rd edition - for that lovely dungeon crawl.
Systems I'd love to try, but have never found time for
Ars Magica
So, basically I'm here because people at yog-shoggoth.com told me to go here, and to talk CoC, but ask me about anything and I might be able to answer.

Does the card in the picture below look familiar to you? GeForce 8800 GTS-512? Well yes, but that's also what the GeForce GTS 250 is going to end up looking like. The 3+1 phase design on the 8800 GTS-512 allowed the 65 nm G92 GPU to be clocked at a reasonable 650 MHz, but come 55 nm G92b, and NVIDIA will look to use the same card design to accommodate the higher-clocked GPU which shares its clock-speeds and other machinery with the GeForce 9800 GTX+. The new card is going to use the upcoming CeBIT event as its launchpad. Think of it as 9800 GTX+ after liposuction. The GeForce GTS 250 is expected to come with identical clock speeds to those of the 9800 GTX+. 738 MHz for the core, 1,836 MHz for the shaders, and 1,100 (2.20 GHz DDR) for the memory. Speaking of memory, NVIDIA's reference design is expected to come in 512 MB and 1 GB flavours, with partners being given the freedom to carve out their own designs. Some partners even seem to be contemplating 2 GB models. It comes with 128 stream processors. The 9 inch long PCB and cooler visually bear some resemblance with the GeForce 8800 GTS-512. Apparently NVIDIA feels the single 6-pin PCI-E power input is a spoon big enough to feed the card, something EVGA and Galaxy did months earlier, with its rated power consumption at 150W. The GTS 250 accelerator is NVIDIA's next card to plough the fertile sub-$200 market. NVIDIA will lift the NDA over this card on March 3, following which the cards will reach retail channels by March 10.
WHO CARES! no offence to btarunr who spent his time writing this, just nvidia. noob gpu buyers will see this and think its better than cheaper cards that are the exact same. some 9800's still cost a good £20 more than 8800's
So now we have gone from the GTS250 being just a rebranded 9800GTX+, to it being a redesigned card. And we've gone from the GTS240 being a rebranded 8800GT/9800GT, to it being a redesigned card also. Seems nVidia isn't just rebranding the older cards, they are actually improving them. Glad to see this.
actually nvidia's renaming strategy makes sense in a way that the numbers are getting bigger the fast the card is .. unlike 7800 GTX vs. 8400 GS for example. i just wonder what they will do with the next generation cards. they will sure not call their dx11 low end part GTS 151
Can you please point out the ways in which this card is redesigned? I agree -- I love both ATI and Nvidia's new naming strategies -- I hated the confusing GTX/GTS/GTO/GT/GLS/GL crap.
GTS240: Uses the 55nm G92b core with 112SPs, unlike the previous 9800GT and 8800GTs, which used the 65nm G92 core with 112SPs, only a few 9800GTs used the 55nm G92b. GTS240 also brings a new redesigned PCB, aimed at reducing costs for manufacturers. The cheaper PCB, cheaper 55nm core, should lead to lower prices for the consumers. The new core should also reduce power consumption and heat, though the reduced power consumption might be negated by the changes in the power phases used on the new PCB, we will have to wait for the card's release to tell. GTS250: Seems to use a similar PCB and cooler to the 8800GTS 512MB, however we can't be sure, it is likely that it will use the same PCB as the GTS240 just as the 8800GTS 512MB used the same PCB as the 8800GT(there is no good reason to produce two different PCBs when one will do the job). Even if it is the same PCB as the 8800GTS 512MB, it will use the newer 55nm G92b. The change in PCB will reduce costs compared to the current 9800GTX+, and the cooler should be cheaper also. Which should lead to lower costs for the consumer. Lower Prices=Win for the Consumer I'm glad they are finally bringing all the cards into one unified naming scheme, it makes sense. It's not an easy thing to come up with names for cards that make sense, and give an idea about performance.
If the card still performs the same..but saves it bit on a e-bill, its still the same in my book. The question is will someone buy this when they already have the prior version. Its just confusing the hell out of me. But I don't buy those cheapo cards so I really don't care one way or another. It is a fine way to fill the gaps in performance w/o spending the dough on the design of a whole new card.
So, die-shrunk cores (with the same amount of SPs) and a different PCB (sometimes)? Why didn't Nvidia rename the 9600 GSO when they started making it with a completely different number of SPs?
Because If this patter keeps up then the 9600 GT will become GT 210 ANd GSO will prob become GSO 200 oh and the 9800 GT will be 220? 230?
The main thing isn't the die-shrink, it does help, but the 9800GTX+ was already using it. The main thing will be the redesigned/Changed PCBs. And nVidia didn't rename the 9600GSO when they started using the G94 core because their stupid. But I don't really see what that has to do with this discussion. I thought I read somewhere that they were renaming the 9600GT and GSO using the new naming scheme. I think they are supposed to make up the GT200 series(GT230 and GT220 maybe?). And the 9800GT is essentially becoming the GTS240 already, though with a new PCB, a 55nm core, and higher stock clocks.
Yes! Finally a full G92 card that doesn't have a redundant amount of PCB... I wanted a 8800GTS 512MB...
Yeah I remember reading that somewhere I think...but I have to agree with W1zz this naming scheme is the easiest to understand out of all of them. They should have been doing this for years.
Why cant they just name them. That way you knew exactly what was faster. Like the Nvidia "Colon Cobra" would be faster than the Nvidia "Turtle Boner". See the thing is I know a 9800 series is faster than the 8800 series but for a noob seeing the GTX260 might thing the card is slower because the number is lower.
Really? You know for a fact that the a 9800 would be faster than an 8800? Always? Buying video card based on name alone is stupid, and if you do it, you won't know you got a weaker card anyway, so it doesn't matter.
No of course not. But thats why the naming scheme is stupid. If they really were not trying to mislead customers they would have a small graph on the side of the box showing all their GPUs for the last 3 generations and the placement of the card by speed compared to the rest. But no. They list a slower card with a higher number and a faster card with a lower number. It's stupid. FYI I think ATI should do the same thing with a graph on the box.
Or a simpiler solution is that the consumer does research before buying. The companies shouldn't have to hold uneducated people's hands through the buying process. And the majority of at least semi-educated consumers have realized long ago that a higher number doesn't mean dick. And a graph on the side of the box doesn't really help much. What happens when the consumer starts comparing ATi cards and nVidia card? Or should they just not do that? Should be forcing both companies to include the competitions previous 3 generations on their graphs as well? This is start to take up a lot of room on the box... Where are they going to put all the fancy marketting BS? If they have the graphs taking up the whole back of the box, how will they get the consumer to believe that the HD4550 or 8400GS is the best gaming card on the market?
With all due respect you know nothing of marketing. The dumber the better when it comes to selling a product. Its a companies marketing departments job to hold your hand.
Oh, I know plenty about marketing, and an ideal consumer is dumber than a box of rocks, but that doesn't mean that the majority of consumers actually are dumb. And it isn't the Marketting Department's job to hold their hand, it is the marketting department's job to tug on their hand. Those are two very different concepts. Holding their hand means giving them all the possible information they can to allow the consumer to make an educated decision. Tugging their hand means taking a turd and making the consumer believe it is the greatest thing ever. This is why it is the consumers responsibility to educate themselves, not the companies.

Since a video posted here features slain Trayvon Martin wearing a gray hoodie, similar to the hoodie he is alleged to have been wearing the night of his murder, I offer my thoughts on those choosing to wear hoodies.
I have several myself and I don't know how it happened but, all the hoodies I own, except for one, feature Eeyore, the character known to those familiar with Winnie the Pooh.
The nature of the absurdity of Geraldo Rivera's comments cannot be over stated, with his statements having generated an ongoing discussion regarding the wearing of hoodies by urban, non-White youth.
Case in point, the National Rifle Association (NRA), prior to the murder of Trayvon Martin, has been offering for sale to its membership a clothing item designed with them in mind, a hoodie equipped with a conceal carry pocket for a gun, complete with velcro for making adjustments to facilitate quick removal of, or to draw, the gun.
Statistics inform us that the majority of NRA members are White males. Knowing that there is a greater possibility that a White male seen wearing a hoodie has a greater chance to be a member of the NRA, possibly wearing the NRA's conceal carry hoodie, it can be conjectured, based on the fact, that anyone encountering White males in hoodies, be they Black, White, Asian, Purple, whatever, to think the possibility existed that White male was carrying a concealed weapon and because that White male in the hoodie MIGHT be armed, all who encounter him should fear for their lives.
So, does that mean, since it is known that there will be NRA members purchasing the conceal carry hoodie, carrying their guns, to avoid anyone engaging them in a deadly confrontation, White males should no longer wear hoodies?
That is stereotyping White males because of the likelihood of them being NRA members.
Does Geraldo Rivera support telling White males not to wear hoodies?

Originally founded as the Seattle Pilots in 1969, the Milwaukee Brewers have brought Major League Baseball to Wisconsin since 1970. The team played its first 30 seasons at Milwaukee County Stadium; Miller Park opened its gates in 2001, featuring field dimensions mapped out by legendary Brewer Robin Yount. Today, up to 41,900 fans pack into Miller Park to cheer on their home team as well as The Famous Racing Sausages and Bernie the Brewer, who soars down his iconic slide to celebrate home runs or cheer himself up after burning popcorn inside his elevated left-field clubhouse.
Fondy Sports Park entertains miniature sports enthusiasts of all ages with a mini-golf course and other kiddie-friendly games. The 18-hole mini-golf course challenges even the most studious putter with dynamic holes guarded by hills and obstacles including animal statues, buildings, and sentient bogeys and birdies. Just like the Masters Tournament, mini-golfers with max determination can play out the entire course and seek to win a free game on the 18th-hole challenge. Though not included in this Groupon, Fondy Sports Park also satiates adventure seekers with go-karts, batting cages, bumper boats, and other thrilling activities to get the family out of the house and help them forget last night's contentious six-hour Monopoly game.
The certified tummy-trimming instructors at Fusion Fitness lead all fitness levels through a schedule of 17 weekly classes with a concentration in Zumba. Latin rhythms and frantic footwork ignite calories in the classic Zumba sessions, and lightweight toning sticks and dumbbells intensify workouts and increase strength for respectable handshakes and intimidating hand-crushes in Zumba toning classes. Older adults ease into moves while partaking in the slower-paced Zumba Gold and the newly offered yoga classes. Meanwhile, the Body Sculpt's 45-minute resistance-training sessions let participants attempt to push and pull immovable objects and rise against oppressive weight regimes.
The Fox Bay Cinema Grill marquee lights up the theater's outdoor marble ticket kiosk, transporting moviegoers to a bygone era of the silver screen. Renovated in 2000, the spacious art-deco theater drapes its large screens in scarlet curtains, and wraparound, swivel lounge chairs and tables wait to support patrons as they immerse themselves in the digital sound and projection pouring forth from the latest Hollywood hits. The theater doesn't only sate the imagination's appetite with lush filmscapes; servers shell out light finger foods and hearty pizzas and sandwiches throughout the movie, quieting growling bellies that may otherwise spoil the film's ending. Though not included with this deal, alcohol is available via Fox Bay's wait staff and at the lobby bar.
Players at AKA Combat Entertainment use full-metal laser-tagging rifles to shoot at their opponents as they all strive to be the last one standing. These high-tech taggers are configurable to add a bit a variety to every game. The staff at AKA Combat Entertainment, which is led by a former member of the military, add excitement to these matches with organized scenarios, such as capture the flag, escort, and sniper on a boot-camp-style course comprising six buildings and multiple starting points. A field referee oversees each scenario to ensure that everyone's playing safely and fairly.
The certified instructors at Scooter Tow Hang Gliding School have designed their curriculum to encourage potential students that hang-gliding can be for anyone. In doing so, they introduce beginners to the sport gradually by scheduling flights in the early morning and late afternoon—when the atmosphere is at its calmest—and having them start by only going 2–3 feet off the ground. Once they're more experienced, flyers can join the crew for organized brewery tours and the school's hang-gliding club.
In 1977, a group of Milwaukee's sailors responded to its city's lack of a public sailing institution by banding together with county officials to create a not-for-profit organization accessible to everyone. The Milwaukee Community Sailing Center has continued to uphold this original vision of granting everyone—regardless of age, physical ability, or financial means—a chance to develop sailing skills while exploring Lake Michigan's aqueous expanses. Since its founding, it has imparted its knowledge upon upwards of 100,000 student via hands-on classes and private lessons.
Throughout the summer's balmy months, Milwaukee Community Sailing Center's experienced and certified staff can be found reviewing boat safety with students during on-shore lessons or calling out instructions to their trainees from within a sailboat cruising around the lake. As winter's frigid winds rage across the city, a host of off-season winter sessions enables skippers to keep their sea legs toned until spring returns. Bobbing cheerfully in the onsite marina, the center's seaworthy fleet is comprised of more than 80 meticulously maintained vessels, including sturdy dinghies, cruisers, and saddled-up krakens. The center's dedication to bringing the community together on the water is further evidenced in its outreach programs, including one designed to help Milwaukee's at-risk youth turn a new leaf by helping them uncover hidden talents, develop leadership skills, and conquer their fears.

Divine gluten-free chocolate cookies. No seriously.
Author Notes: This recipe is an adaptation of the one that I'm told originates with Homesick Texan, although I couldn't find it on her blog. (I did become excessively distracted by her other offerings, however, including desserts made with Dr. Pepper WEE OO!) Hers calls for pecans and chili powder, however, which I have eliminated, and upped the chocolate. I can promise you these will be eliminated within minutes so watch out. - Jestei
Serves a crowd
- 2.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line baking sheet(s)with parchment paper
- In a bowl of standing mixer or large bowl with hand held mixer , mix powdered sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and salt on low. Stir in the egg whites with a stand or hand mixer until the batter is well mixed. Stir in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips by hand. The batter will look weird. Don't worry about it.
- Using a small cookie scoop or spoon blob batter onto the baking trays, about an inch apart. They will spread a bit.
- Bake until the cookies are cracking on the surface, about 15 minutes.
- Let cool for ten minutes on the trays then carefully remove to cooling rack.
- These will keep in covered container for three days but you'll never keep them that long.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

I made these with two big modifications and thought I'd post my results in case someone else is thinking along the same lines. I left out the chocolate chips, (didn't have any), and cut the sugar back to two cups since some reviews said they were very sweet. Well, turns out you really need the chips to hold everything together. The batter was very, very wet. I don't think another half cup of sugar would have made a huge difference, they definitely needed the bulk of the chips. Instead of trying to spoon out little cookies and making drippy mess, I poured the batter onto two silicone lined baking sheets and spread it into two giant cookies. They actually baked up a little better than I expected. They definitely need to cool before you try to remove them, and you don't want to under-bake them. Mine tasted of cornstarch, which I'm guessing is the "anti-caking agent" in my powdered sugar. I would suggest not using a brand that has cornstarch if you can help it - since there are so few ingredients, you really taste everything. Minus the cornstarch flavor, they were darn tasty, but very sweet, even with the reduction in sugar. I think beating the egg whites just a bit to give them some lift before incorporating the other ingredients would help if you are going to reduce the sugar and/or chocolate chips.
On a side note, I used one Silpat mat and one generic mat. I started one on the top rack and one on the rack right below; I switched and rotated them half-way through baking. The Silpat waaaaaay outperformed the generic mat. I've noticed slight differences before, but this little exercise convinced me the Silpat is worth every extra penny. The more you know...

Made them again with *mini chocolate chips*, about 1.5 cups. They worked exquisitely in the batter and you get some in every bite.

Just made this recipe last night. In addition to the one I am eating right now as I write this, I may have already eaten 6… I lost count. The texture & taste of these cookies came out more like a cross between cookie & fudge. A fookie, if you please. Nonetheless a yummy crusty gooeyness of a gluten-free fookie that I will be making again very soon.

I don't know how many cookies I got because I started eating them too quickly and couldn't stop.... Subbed out 1/2 cup chocolate chips for 3/4 cup dried cherries and loved the tartness/chewiness they added!

Great gluten free cookies without a list of specialty ingredients. I used Ghiradelli 60% bittersweet chocolate chips, a small #60 scoop and got 48 cookies from the batch. Very rich and will go over with the adults as well as the kids.

These are fantastic! Many thanks! Thinking about trying a different flavor, perhaps vanilla and almonds or lemon. Would these work without the cocoa powder, or does that provide needed binding for the egg whites?
about 1 year ago mschrank
Wow. Delicately crispy on the top, chewy throughout. Just the right amount of sweetness with the semi-sweet chips. So decadent!
about 1 year ago KKristen
In love! I'm gluten and dairy-free, and it's hard to come by a good dessert recipe that doesn't require 12+ ingredients with various expensive flours. These cookies were perfect for my sweet-toothed, chocolate-loving self. Warning: They are fragile (crack easily) and stick easily to the sheet!
about 1 year ago freyabeans
Okay, it's probably because I keep testing the cookies I've just baked that I keep writing... But, any hints on making the cookies not stick so much to the parchment?? (Or is it because I haven't waited the FULL 10 minutes to have them cool on the tray before I give one a try?)
about 1 year ago freyabeans
Oh! I see in one of the comments someone used bittersweet choc chips....Sounds like a good idea.

Mamazita these are sweet! I'm going to try them with unsweetened choc chips and see where we get from there.

Okay, Jestei - That'll be enough of *that*! I made a batch of these cookies for a "do" here in the canyon this evening. Then a few neighbors dropped in for a little Saturday morning java and jaw-jackin', and poof, they were gone! Just put a new batch in the oven and will not volunteer any samples to visitors!
These are just marvelous little cookies - A nice bit of crunch on the outside and all that gooey goodness inside. And probably the most intense chocolate flavor I've ever tasted n a cookie. I got 36 cookies using a 1 1/3 tablespoon scoop. They puffed up nicely, even at my 8,000 foot elevation.
Thanks for this great recipe, Jestei!

To. Die. For. And far to easy to mix up. I had to make do with half a batch as my husband had eaten most of the chocolate I planned on using. Many moans from the fam for producing such a small number of so fabulous a cookie. Was told by everyone to make then again ASAP and to do the full recipe.
about 1 year ago Jestei
wait was that the end of that? or did you make your husband take out the garbage and also rake the yard after that crime???
about 1 year ago patb
He did rake the leaves without being asked. And said he'd replace the chocolate. Getting more today and will immediately make the full batch. Scary part of that recipe - it's so simple and quick with minimal ingredients I have it memorized already. Means never having to say you're sorry......we have no cookies.
