12 of the Biggest (and Best) U.S. Farmers' Markets
At these big markets, you'll find cooking classes, festivals and live music, along with dozens of vendors selling fresh local produce. All those extras make them hot spots for both locals and visitors who want a taste (literally and figuratively) of the local scene.
By Gloria Dawson
Capital City Farmers Market
Montpelier, Vt.
Specialty and small farms (there's one that just grows berries!) are the highlights of this 30-year-old market. The market's 40-plus vendors carry Vermont staples such as maple syrup, cheese and meat, as well as items Vermont is not (yet) known for, like wine and hot sauce. The market is open on Saturdays from May through October.
Don't Miss: The strawberry shortcake fundraiser in the Spring, or the squash tasting demo October 9.
Union Square Greenmarket
New York, N.Y.
Manhattan might be the last place you associate with farms, but four days a week all year round, more than 140 farmers and vendors make their way to the city to sell chefs, locals and tourists apples (it's not called the Big Apple for nothing), leafy greens, rooftop honey and many more local delights.
Don't Miss: A shot of wheatgrass juice or a button of goat cheese.
Dane County Farmers' Market on the Square
Madison, Wis.
Even during the long, cold, winters, Wisconsinites want to eat local. So, they go to the Dane County Farmers' Market, the largest producer-only market in the United States. On Saturdays and Wednesdays, locals can pick up what's fresh, from corn, eggplant and meat to Wisconsin's famous cheeses.
Don't Miss: The Winter Market Breakfast for only $7 and the cheesy bread.
Downtown Des Moines Farmers' Market
Des Moines, Iowa
The place to see and be seen in Des Moines every Saturday from May through October is this farmers' market. A typical Saturday brings 200 farmers selling Iowa's famous corn, of course, in addition to everything from kohlrabi to goat meat.
Don't Miss: The pastries or corn on the cob to snack on while wandering the market.
Dupont Circle FRESHFARM Market
Washington, D.C.
At one hot spot in D.C. it doesn't matter whom you voted for, only what you're planning to make for dinner. Every Sunday all year long, Washingtonians get local meat, bread, pasta, veggies, fruit and more from the 30-plus farmers and vendors selling at the market.
Don't Miss: The area's famous crab cakes or some locally made feta cheese.
Ferry Plaza Farmers Market
San Francisco, Calif.
San Francisco restaurants have a passion for figs, and this is where many of the city's chefs get those delicious fruits, as well as mushrooms, olives (and olive oils), Meyer lemons and other fresh California produce. The nearly 90 vendors are at Ferry Plaza on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Don't Miss: The locally roasted coffee and a variety of Asian snacks.
Portland Farmers' Market
Deering Oaks Park, Portland, Maine
The pride that Maine residents feel for their market probably stems from its deep roots. The government established the official "Portland Farmers' Market" in 1917. Modern shoppers can pick up fruits, veggies, meat and eggs from the 30-plus growers and producers selling their goodies on Saturdays from May through November.
Don't Miss: Maine's famous blueberries or one of a variety of fermented and pickled vegetables.
Portland Farmers Market at PSU
Portland, Oregon
What is about Portlands that makes them perfect for produce and fantastic farmers' markets? This market caters to Oregon's foodies at Portland State University's parking lot every Saturday from March to December. A typical Saturday boasts nearly 200 growers and farmers selling local delights like raspberries, yak meat, a wide variety of mushrooms, local beers and olive oil.
Don't Miss: Fresh-caught crab.
St. Paul Downtown Farmers' Market
Saint Paul, Minn.
The 160-plus stalls at this market are all local very local. The furthest farm is 75 miles away from the city. Locavore shoppers come downtown on Saturdays from April to November, and Sundays all year, to pick up melons, pumpkins, poultry and more.
Don't Miss: Artisanal cheeses.
University District Farmers Market
Seattle, Wash.
The tourists might go to the famous Pike Place Market, but the locals (and the local farmers and chefs) are at the University District Farmers Market. On Saturdays, more than 50 farmers sell delicacies like fiddlehead ferns, raw cow and sheep's milk cheeses and Mangalitsa pork (a special breed of long-haired pig), as well as market staples like mushrooms, peppers and free-range eggs.
Don't Miss: The 30 different varieties of apples with names like Cox's Orange Pippin and Prairie Spy. (Washington grows more apples than any other U.S. state.)
Barton Creek Farmers Market
Austin, Texas
Previously known as the Sunset Valley Farmers Market, this market has a new name but the same great produce. Every Saturday, Texans pick up seasonal and local goods like okra, avocados, peaches, peppers, black-eyed peas and bison meat.
Don't Miss: Baked goods from the Village Baker, refreshing homemade lemonade or fruity iced tea.
Santa Fe Farmers' Market
Santa Fe, N.M.
This market is ultra-local farmers must be from one of the 15 counties in northern New Mexico (around Santa Fe), and farmers and producers must sell their produce directly. Additionally, processed foods must contain 80% locally grown ingredients. Two days a week (four in the summer), folks pick up their very local squash, berries, yak meat, heirloom tomatoes and many varieties of peppers, among other goodies, from more than 100 vendors.
Don't Miss: Dried peppers and jujubes.

Can acoustical treatments be "green?" You bet, and Auralex Acoustics is proving it with its Eco-Tech acoustic absorption panels due out on Oct. 15.
The 1-inch thick panels are made of 100-percent recycled poleyster fibers, according to Auralex. The company also says the new panels are available in the same color choices as its other panels, and at no increase in price. "It doesn't cost more to go green," says Tim Martin, Auralex' director of marketing and sales.
Aurelex is also spicing up the look of drab old acoustic panels with custom-printed SonicPrint acoustic panels, fabric-covered acoustic panels designed as artwork (see below). Customers can choose between artwork from a catalog or have their own art printed on the fabric covering absorptive panels. Two-by-2-foot-by-1-inch panels will cost $149 and 2-by-4-foot-by-1-inch panels $199, according to the company. Custom panels can come in any size up to 5 by 10 feet and in thicknesses of ¾, 1, 2, or 4 inches.
The company says its Eco-Tech system panels can also be used with SonicPrint fabrics.

Awesome work Sennacherib
thx a lot
if someone is interested, I can release the first part of the buildings (odol or mlod), and also the psd, if someone wants to create skins for them.
btw, I want to add rubbles on the map, like the ones in COD2, but I don't have ideas. i don't know how I could do them; because they must fit the buildings, and they can't be too big. ideas?
hi, I have put a dl link for my buildings on the first page: these are the odols, i'm going to put a link for the mlods late; I must clean the folder before.
new pics of the map with the new texture for the ground, and the new sidewalks:

http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/5874/gcs0120.jpg (212 kB)
I still must add variety for the houses (more shops and different height for the buildings), I must also do some adjustments for the sidewalks. the sidewalks don't work on landscape very embossed. I must also create a curved sidewalk, because for now all the streets are straight
Great looking buildings there Sennacherib!
I am sorry to ask this question, but I hope those buildings are not too high poly?
It would be really great to have good looking ww2 town that is not causing lag on a weak PC.
Take care, Icarus
don't worry mate, all the buildings are low poly; always under 1500 faces
after more than 1 year; I have updated my website. there are stuff always shown here + 2 new houses:
Intressting, very good very good. Maby somthing for Invasion 44 mod?
You dont have anything that could fit into pacific ww2?

Peak District Bouldering :: Second Edition
Description: Guidebook
Code: ISBN: 9781906148270
Manufacturer: V-Publishing
The most comprehensive guide to bouldering in the Peak District ever published.
All approach, crag and problem information has been reviewed and revised since our first Peak District Bouldering guidebook (2005), and the authors have spent several years researching, writing and updating all of the established crags in the area, together with the many new crags that have risen in popularity or been developed in the last 5–6 years.
New crags have been added, including several which have never been fully documented in guides before, such as: the Derwent Edges, Bamford and Birchen Edge on the Eastern Edges; Beeley Hilltop, the Matlock Quarries, Turning Stone Edge and Black Rocks in the southern Peak; Gradbach Hill, Wolf Edge, New Mills Torrs, Tintwistle Knarr and Black Tor in the western and northern Peak; and Blackwell Dale, the Alport crags and Dove Dale on the limestone crags. The Churnet Valley bouldering has also been updated.
This guide features over 3,300 boulder problems on over 70 crags, both major and minor. Catering for boulderers of all abilities, there are over 2,150 boulder problems below Font 7a, and over 1,150 problems at Font 7a and above. Problems and their grades have been checked and double checked by many local climbers, with experience at all grades, to ensure as great an accuracy as possible across the grade range.
Each crag features detailed access and approach information, together with overview and topo maps. The guide features over 500 colour photo topos and is illustrated with action photography from some of the area's best photographers, including Adam Long, John Coefield, Keith Sharples and David Parry.
International climbing legend Ben Moon has written the foreword, and there's a detailed Appendix which includes everything climbers need to plan a visit: Tourist Information Centres; cafés and pubs; campsites & accommodation; gear shops; climbing walls; and useful websites.

Josh Marshall is a reporter for NBC25. He studied Broadcast Journalism at West Virginia University.
BIRCH RUN -- There are over a million requests to bring the moving wall all over America. Making it's trip to Birch Run an unforgettable moment.
"This has been emotional, very emotional for me. I was in the Army in Vietnam and I had to look up some people. But it means so much to me and the community, said VFW Post member Barry Cusick."
Saginaw County alone lost more than fifty men in the Vietnam War.
"I was in Vietnam '69 and '70 with the headquarters company of the first battalion of the seventy seventh army. I think to me I have seen a lot of guys come through here. They take their time.. They have to think about the walk their about to make."
The wall is in chronological order of those who made the ultimate sacrifice from 1959 to 1975.
"Some of these guys are seeing this for the first time. It is awfully emotional for them to do that. It's a healing field for them, so that's what this is all about."

Barbara McClintock
Barbara McClintock (June 16 1902 - September 2 1992), the 1983 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine, was an American scientist and one of the world's most distinguished cytogeneticists. McClintock received her PhD in botany from Cornell University in 1927, where she was a leader in the development of maize cytogenetics. The field remained the focus of her research for the rest of her career. From the late 1920s, McClintock studied chromosomes and how they change during reproduction in maize. Her work was groundbreaking: she developed the technique for visualizing maize chromosomes and used microscopic analysis to demonstrate many fundamental genetic ideas, including genetic recombination by crossing-over during meiosis-a mechanism by which chromosomes exchange information. She produced the first genetic map for maize, linking regions of the chromosome with physical traits, and demonstrated the role of the telomere and centromere, regions of the chromosome that are important in the conservation of genetic information. She was recognized amongst the best in the field, awarded prestigious fellowships, and elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1944

Vandana Shiva: We need to talk about honest trade
Posted by anjali under corporations , food policy , india , intl trade & econ , labor , quotes[2] Comments
Alternet has a short news/analysis piece on the 1,500 farmer suicides in India and the contributing factors. It's a good read, albeit disturbing.
At the end of the article is a well placed quote from Vandana Shiva, one of the most outspoken and articulate critics of bioengineered crops, and one of the most ardent supporters of honest trade and land rights for Indian farmers. Here's the excerpt:
A few weeks ago, I was in Punjab. 2,800 widows of farmer suicides who have lost their land, are having to bring up children as landless workers on others' land. And yet, the system does not respond to it, because there's only one response: get Monsanto out of the seed sector–they are part of this genocide — and ensure WTO rules are not bringing down the prices of agricultural produce in the United States, in Canada, in India, and allow trade to be honest. I don't think we need to talk about free trade and fair trade. We need to talk about honest trade. Today's trade system, especially in agriculture, is dishonest, and dishonesty has become a war against farmers. It's become a genocide.
Please check out the complete interview that Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! conducted with Vandana Shiva (read the transcript or watch the video). I *heart* Vandana Shiva, saw her speak at the World Social Forum in Nairobi and she is a RIGHTEOUS passionate woman who knows her shit. She is NOT one to be messed with. Love her.

Remember the photo set we posted which first revealed the 4 Series Coupe — the ones captured in downtown LA during a BMW commercial shoot for the F32?
Well, here's the results of that shoot – the first 4 Series Coupe promo trailer. Click on thumbnail inside to view the trailer (at BMW.tv).
Head of BMW design, Karim Habib, talks a bit about the exterior and interior design of the BMW 4 Series Coupe.
Generally, photos enhanced in post-processing, such as many of those used in BMW's official 4 Series release photos, look better than a relatively untouched photo. However, with the 4 Series, we dare say that it's looking best in 'natural' photos so far, such as in these from a live studio photo shoot.
We have uploaded our BMW 4 Series Official Thread with even more materials – new wallpapers, new videos, and full technical specs for all models.
We just showed you the all-new BMW 4 Series Coupe [Official Thread], now have a look at the 4 Series Coupe (F32) versus the outgoing 3 Series Coupe (E92).

Introducing the all-new 2014 BMW 4 Series Coupe (F32)!
The all-new BMW 4 Series Coupe marks the beginning of a new era for coupes at BMW. Launched as the latest generation of BMW's sporty mid-size Coupe, the new BMW 4 Series Coupe embodies the very essence of dynamics and aesthetic appeal in the premium segment. The "4" in its title headlines this new product line for the Coupe and emphasizes not only its stand-out design, but that any way you look at it, the new 4 Series Coupe represents something more than its BMW 3 Series cousins – 3+1, if you will.

A tornado hit Calhoun County, AL on April 27, 2011 and in just two weeks, Calhoun County geographic information systems manager Robert Scheitlin put up a Web map showing the damage. It was widely used in the recovery efforts.
In May, Scheitlin received statewide recognition for his work when Auburn University Montgomery honored him with a Digital Government Innovation award. Scheitlin's work beat three other contenders, including the Piedmont city school system, which was nominated for dispensing MacBooks to each child in grades four through 12.

Roanoke County, VA has some tax issues:
County Administrator Clay Goodman said officials know some of the sale prices are incorrect. That happened because the GIS system uses the value listed with recordation tax. That tax is based on either a property's sale price or its assessed value, whichever is higher. The sale price was usually higher until the housing bubble burst and caused a situation in which property might be purchased for lower than the assessed price. So in some cases the GIS system lists a sale price as higher than what was paid.
What's interesting to me is that all the calculation seem to be done in the GIS, not in the assessing software. That led to this headline: "Roanoke County GIS system posts incorrect housing prices." The other interesting point on this? One of the supervisors could not believe the problem was found so quickly. "He questioned how the taxation department could evaluate the system after spending just two days looking into the situation."
Three years ago, MAGIC began a project with the Office of Long Island Sound Programs to provide a better way to distribute more than 6,000 color infrared aerial photographs of the Connecticut shoreline taken from 1974 through 2000. By creating digital indexes that represent the location and extent of what the photos show on the ground and associating them with scanned images of the original photos, the indexes can leverage several ways to allow users access from their homes or offices at their convenience.
And, now they are available!
The digital indexes are available to the public from the MAGIC GIS data page, and users can view individual aerial images through downloadable GIS datasets as well as with Google Earth-friendly KML files and a custom interactive map interface.

Food & Dining > El Zocalo Mexican Restaurant3400 Bagley St, Detroit, MI | Directions
Mon. - Thu., Sun. 11am - 10pm;Fri. - Sat. 11am - 1am
Neighborhoods: Hubbard - Richard, Hubbard-Richard
Best Maragaritas in Mexican Town!!!!! – I would highly reccomend this restuarant to anyone who loves great food and fast service.I first went to El Zocalo in April of 2000,I've been going there just about every weekend ever since!!They have good portoins and reasonable prices.It has a family atomosphere and is very clean.The servers are very polite,never rude.Their margaritas are the best in Mexican Town!!I have no complaints.
An excellent dining experience – I have been going to El Zocalo for nearly 25 years! Yikes! In all that time, it has been an excellent dining experience. Whether I eat in or carry out, the food is excellent: the botanas, quesadillas, and the fajitas and exceptional. Everything on the menu is wonderful, however. And the food is always consistent. The salsa and chips are worth the drive.
There is never a line, never a crowd. Alway friendly service and usually good, too. Unusual for an eatery over decades. And, it is inexpensive. With no alcohol, $20 for two. Even with a couple of drinks $30. Cannot beat that.
I would highly recommend this as the best Mexican restaurant in Detroit; and one of the best overall restaurants.
not at all authentic – The other two reviews are shocking to me...maybe they are outdated? We went the other night and couldn't believe how terrible all of the food was. Although the service was friendly and excellent, there was nothing exceptional about the food, and most of it was very bad. We started out with margaritas. When they first came out I was horrified by the color - neon green! And they tasted as though they had used gatorade as their lime juice base. Margaritas are made with tequila, triple sec, and fresh lime juice. The only thing I could taste was a tad bit of tequila and gatorade. They were really, really gross and we couldn't finish them. Then the complimentary chips and salsa came out. Although the chips were fine, the two kinds of salsa weren't. One was mild and tasted exactly like canned tomatoes - NO heat, NO cilantro, NO lime, etc. The spicy one was more edible, but that's only because the heat covered the lack of any other flavor. Moreover, the heat seemed to come from cayenne pepper, not fresh jalapenos. After that, we almost walked out but the service was so friendly we decided to stick it out. Unfortunately, our main courses weren't much better. I ordered cheese chimichangas to play it safe, but the tortillas were hard and chewy, and the cheese wasn't that great, either. Dining partner ordered a Mexican sandwich which was basically tortillas covered in beans, rice, and the old Midwestern giveaway - loads and loads of cheese. We couldn't finish our main courses. Where was the fresh lime juice, the jalapenos, and the cilantro that gives *real* Mexican food its authentic flavor? I am *never* going back.
The servers treat you like special guests and the margaritas are terrific. – In Short
El Zocalo's Tex-Mex menu will be familiar to anyone who's cruised Mexicantown looking for the perfect margaritas, enchiladas, fajitas, chimichangas, chilaquiles, tacos, quesadillas and burritos. The menu includes tasty chiles rellenos (mild chiles stuffed with cheese or meat), which not all menus do on the Bagley strip. The best dish at El Zocalo are the fajitas. The sopapillas drizzled with honey and cinnamon are a must.
Best Mexican Food in Detroit – This place has the best Mexican food in S.E. Michigan, and we have been to them all. Their Enchilada's are better than any others on the strip in Mexican Town, much better than Mexican Village (accross the freeway on the other side of Bagley) or Mexican Fiesta (in Dearborn). What's with all the Mexican Restaurants using "yellow" cheese in their enghilada's? Best Margarita's by far, and Victor the owner is a sweetheart, his manager, Jackie, is the greatest, they seat you in your favorite spot and have your drinks and food ordered before you know it. Everyone is like a big family. Great place for a romantic dinner for two, great place to take family and friends and a wonderful banquet area is also available for large or holiday parties. I don't work for them!
Gold star for El Zocalo – I've been here a few of times, for both lunch and dinner. The food is amazing and very authentic, I haven't had margaritas that good in years, the chips and salsa were excellent and plentiful, and the prices are so reasonable. I can't eat all my food, so for $8, I can feed myself for two days. However, last time I was there, my waitress didn't speak English, which caused a few problems with the service. But the staff was quick to correct all arising issues. And with food and drinks that good, did it really matter?

The Associated Press | December 31,2012WASHINGTON Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has been admitted to a New York hospital after the discovery of a blood clot stemming from the concussion she sustained earlier this month.
Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines says her doctors discovered the clot during a follow-up exam Sunday. Reines says Clinton is being treated with anti-coagulants.
Clinton was admitted to New York-Presbyterian Hospital so doctors can monitor the medication over the next 48 hours.
Reines says doctors will continue to assess Clintons condition, including other issues associated with her concussion.MORE IN Wire NewsWASHINGTON President Barack Obama is bringing a former top aide with deep ties to Congress back...

Feng Shui Now
Creating harmony in the bedroom
As much as we impact the spaces we live in, the spaces we live in impact us.
Energy is all around us. It can be witnessed in an ocean's tide, the spin of a windmill, the fact that a lightbulb illuminates at the flip of a switch. According to Feng Shui practitioners and enthusiasts, the very nature of this ever-present current has a great deal of influence on the quality of our lives.
Feng Shui is a Chinese-founded practice that makes deliberate design decisions based on optimizing the flow of energy (or chi) from the earth's electro-magnetic field. Founder of Feng Shui Now, Tommi Cox-Phipps, points out the practicalities of the techniques and theories.
"A lot of good Feng Shui advice is very practical," Phipps said. "It's a change you will immediately see and feel."
As we sit around a table, I press for the do it yourself quick-fix version. Phipps is quick to inform me with a smile, "It's not that simple. A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing."
Although months of intensive study and years of practice cannot be consolidated into a single page, Phipps offers some tips for creating more harmony in your home and subsequently, your life.
Ones' bedroom should be a sanctuary for sleeping well and for romantic relationships, but what should be a peaceful haven can very easily become a den of distraction, perpetually abuzz with sleep-inhibiting stimuli. Given the importance of rest and relationships, the bedroom is a great place to start.
Some things to keep in mind when Feng Shuing a bedroom to remedy a languishing romantic life.
Step 1: Clear the clutter. Although addressing clutter is not traditionally a component of Feng Shui, cluttered environments block the flow of chi. In her "Creating Harmony" clutter clearing workshops in partnership with Urban Furnishings, Phipps guides her students with the mantra, "Do I use it? Do I love it? Do I need it?" She then advises to try sitting with the object and contemplating, "Why is this object important to me?" Realize that the object is not the person who gave it to you. If you still struggle with parting with it, take a photograph so that you can still possess it.
Once the clutter is cleared, your starting point should be a clean, spacious and open environment. It's important to not neglect clearing out underneath the bed. With blockages of chi in such an important bedroom element, too many stashed forgotten treasures could result in a languishing love life.
As Oprah's clutter-busting guru Peter Walsh states, "Clutter is whatever is standing in between you and the life you want to live." Under-bed clutter begone.
Step 2: Identify and fix anything in disrepair. Broken items are conducive to negativity.
Step 3: Take a look at your color scheme. The colors in your bedroom do much to set the tone. Cooler tones are very soothing and calming. Red and Pink are the fire colors and are said to spark romance. Many Feng Shui experts recommend skin tones. They are flattering to the skin, after all.
Phipps advises when selecting a color scheme, "What you're trying to create is a very personal space so you want to find colors that support you based on how you respond to particular colors. Choose what feels best to you."
Step 4: Consider the placement of the most important element in any bedroom. Bed placement is very impactful. You'll want to position a solid headboard against a solid wall without any windows because according to Feng Shui, the chi can leak out in the middle of the night. You are most vulnerable to losing chi when you are sleeping.
Be mindful the foot of the bed is not opposing the door. This is the death posture. It goes without saying, that just isn't good. You'll want to be able to see the door from the bed but not be in direct opposition to it.
You can create symmetry in the bedroom with matching end tables and lamps. This symmetry represents equality in a romantic relationship.
Step 5: Accessories matter. Two of the most impactful accessories are mirrors and lighting fixtures. It's prudent to use mirrors with caution. Mirrors reflect and magnify energy. That's not ideal when you're trying to sleep. It's also best to not place a mirror directly opposing a door. Feng Shui principles dictate that a mirror will reflect energy right back out the door.
For lighting, you'll want to choose flexible lighting that isn't harsh and can be extinguished entirely when it's time for sleep.
Step 6: Consider electromagnetic fields. We often neglect to consider all the electronics with which we surround ourselves in any given day. It's best to keep televisions, computers, mobile phones and most importantly, charging devices away from your bed or out of the bedroom entirely. If you're losing sleep, Phipps suggests that your electronics might just be the cause.
While the doors of energy awareness and personal wellness opened by Feng Shui are much wider than this small list, you might be surprised by how great an improvement these little things can make in your life. They certainly couldn't hurt.

Orlando Sentinel's Iliana Limón Romero talks with FOX35 about an incident where Tim Tebow tried to stop Aaron Hernandez from getting into a bar fight.
Aaron Hernandez's potential involvement in a 2007 Florida shooting may have been sparked by a simple gold necklace.
Hernandez was one of four former Florida Gator football players who were questioned in connection with a 2007 Gainesville shooting, according to a 51-page police report obtained by the Orlando Sentinel.
Two men were shot, including one in the head, prompting Gainesville police to categorize the incident as an attempted homicide. No charges have been field and the case is still considered open.
Corey Smith was shot in the head at about 2:20 a.m. on Sept. 30, 2007, while driving a Crown Victoria past 1250 W. University Avenue, which is near a Holiday Inn in Gainesville. Justin Glass, a passenger, was shot in the arm, while Randall Cason, another passenger, was not harmed. Five shots were fired into the vehicle.
When Cason was interviewed by homicide detectives shortly after the shooting at the Shands Hospital emergency room, a Gainesville police incident report stated Cason was "very emotional" and was screaming, "This is my fault!"
The report states Cason went on to tell detectives the following:
The previous week Cason was with his brother when they got into an altercation with UF football players at the night club Venue. Cason said even though his brother wasn't with him at the club shortly before the shooting, both Cason and the football players were "in deep." Detectives referred to the term as slang for having friends along as backup in the event of an altercation.
Cason said they confronted each other and Cason asked the players, "so what are you going to do about this," alluding to the dispute the previous week.
The players attempted to snatch a gold chain off Cason's neck, but said they were unsuccessful because the chain was thick. Cason said club staff members stepped in and kicked the football players out of the club.
Cason identified twin offensive linemen Maurkice and Mike Pouncey and safety Reggie Nelson as being involved in the incident. Hernandez's name is not included in the report -- he was 17 years old at the time of the incident and subject to laws protecting the identities of juveniles -- but ESPN.com reported it obtained a copy of the report with one reference to Cason identifying Hernandez that was not redacted.
The Pouncey twins and Hernandez were current UF players at the time of the incident, while Nelson had recent left the UF program and was on the Jacksonville Jaguars' roster.
Cason said 45 minutes after the confrontation the club, the players and his group greeted and were "all smiles." When Smith, Glass and Cason were waiting at a red light on 13th Street,
Nelson and a person he initially identified a "Hawaiian man" who matched Hernandez's description walked up to the car. Cason said without speaking, the Hawaiian man fired five shots into the car, wounding Smith and Glass.
Nelson, who is now a player for the Cincinnati Bengals, later told detectives he was in the night club but denied any knowledge of the shooting.
He said Cason snatched a necklace that belonged to one of the Pouncey twins. Nelson recalled going over to speak with Cason about it and "Cason told him the chain had already been given away. Nelson advised they didn't want any trouble and he left on good terms."
While Nelson spoke with police, Hernandez declined to grant an interview and invoked his right to counsel.
Multiple witnesses provided descriptions of people that appeared to be similar to the Gators Cason mentioned.
However, during a follow-up interview with detectives 15 hours after his emotional outburst the emergency room, Cason rescinded his identification of Nelson and Hernandez as the people who approached the car and fired shots into the vehicle.
Glass told detectives he didn't recall any disputes in the club and he was with Cason and Smith the entire time they were at the club.
"He claimed no knowledge of any necklace incident and stated that he was unaware of any UF football players in the bar," detectives wrote following their interview with Glass.

If betting on the Preakness ponies and getting sloshed in the Pimlico infield has little appeal, Republican Sen. J.B. Jennings is offering a bang-up alternative Saturday afternoon.
At the Freestate Gun Range in Middle River, for a contribution to Jennings' campaign you can have your picture taken with National Rifle Association President David Keene and then pick up your weapon of choice for shooting practice.
A $50 ticket includes the "opportunity to shoot 25 rounds from a variety of handguns, including .22, 9mm, .40 and .45 calibers," says the invitation. Sorry, no photo with the NRA prez.
A $100 ticket gets you the picture plus the chance "to shoot a rare .30 carbine mini anti-aircraft Gatling gun"; $250 gives you a "choice to shoot a Desert Eagle .50 caliber or a Taurus Raging Bull 454 Casull." (The Desert Eagle is one of the most powerful semi-automatics around, as this video shows.) And a $500 sponsorship entitles you to the photo and the "opportunity to shoot a selection of fully automatic rifles."
And there's lunch before you hit the shooting range… (full article link below)

CityBeat first mentioned him April 3, long before other media outlets named him as a contender, and now the Hamilton County Republican Party has made it official.
The local GOP has announced it will hold a press conference Monday in Over-the-Rhine, where it will reveal Dr. Brad Wenstrup as its mayoral candidate.
UPDATE: Cincinnati City Councilman Greg Harris, a pledge opponent, said Berding's description of the pledge is disingenuous. "Did Berding's anti-layoff pledge in any way make furloughs a condition? No," Harris said. "The effect of the pledge would have been to prevent the FOP from making any concessions because they wouldn't need to. The manager's only leverage is the threat of layoffs."
ORIGINAL ITEM: Cincinnati City Councilman Jeff Berding believes a council majority is being self-defeating by refusing to sign a Berding-created pledge not to lay off police officers or firefighters in 2010 or 2011.
UPDATE: City Councilman Chris Bortz called Thursday morning to say that although Councilman Jeff Berding included Bortz's printed name as a co-sponsor on Berding's motion, Bortz won't sign the pledge. "I think it's premature to sign a pledge at this stage," Bortz said. "I support the thrust of it."
I was researching details on the tax levies on Tuesday's ballot and grabbed the millage and property tax costs from the Hamilton County Auditor's web site when I saw this wisdom from Auditor Dusty Rhodes. It's right at the top of his home page next to his photo:
"It has become a fairly common practice on the part of those seeking to pass tax levies to make a point of saying that passage of the levy in question 'will not raise your taxes.' It may indeed be true that the amount of tax you would pay in future years would be no more than in prior years. However, it is also very true that if the levy were to fail, you would be paying less in those same future years than you had previously.
CityBeat's ongoing coverage of the non-incumbent candidates for Cincinnati City Council continues with a question on council's recent budget dispute, about where reductions should be made and whether police officers should face possible layoffs.
In the first part of a two-part question, we ask, "During the recent budget showdown on City Council, what — if anything — could've been done differently?"
Today's installment of CityBeat's questions for non-incumbent candidates for Cincinnati City Council is a follow-up to Thursday's question.
In light of the recent budget showdown on City Council and the dispute about whether the Police Department should get an up-front, blanket exemption from the threat of layoffs, we asked, "Do you believe it's appropriate to ask the police union for concessions in a time of deficits?"

Like fish in the water, you are in air. Thoughts are in mind. Mind is in Big Mind. The Big Mind in Me is love. Emotions are ripples in love. Love is all Knowledge.
Every atom of Big Mind is crammed with Knowledge. Knowing this, you stop seeking. You seek until you come to the Master. You walk until you come to the swimming pool. You don't walk or run in the swimming pool -- you swim or float. Once you come to the Master, seeking stops, blossoming begins.
You are Knowledge. Every atom in you is shimmering with Knowledge. This is called Go. Be a Go-Pal. Be a friend in Knowledge.
Go has four meanings:
Pal means friend or protector -- one who takes care of.

So I've seen this pop up quite a bit in the last couple of days. They say doing the raw honey is a good source of sugar before working out and improves NO2 levels? Has anyone on here actually tried this?? Just curious on this
i eat honey regularly.but never for a work. i have always taken it for it health benefits along with pure garlic. both are great for the immune system. natural antibiotic. Anyway had some free time and founs some interesting stuff on honey specificlly for working out...
Honey has a lower glycemic index than other sugars, which may make it superior for carbohydrate recovery. The glycemic index is a method of rating foods based on their effect on your blood glucose
Post-workout carbohydrate ingestion is an important part of recovery. During exercise, your blood glucose levels can drop because your muscles use available glucose for energy. You must ingest carbohydrates after your workout to replenish your blood glucose. In addition, during recovery, your muscles take in extra blood glucose to replenish their internal stores of glucose, or muscle glycogen. During recovery, your muscles also compensate by increasing their stores for your next workout. If blood glucose is unavailable to your muscles at this time, your body cannot recover adequately.
Honey may also be useful before and during your workout. If you eat honey before exercise, you allow for a slow and steady release of glucose into the blood. This can keep your body from using its stored muscle glycogen as fuel. Sparing muscle glycogen can keep fatigue at bay. During your workout, honey may also be effective at increasing the power output of your muscles, improving your performance

MY Journey From Weak to STRONG

Info On How To
Everyone has their preferred pre workout snack, and mine was a simple protein shake. But a few weeks ago, my protein shake did not sit so well with me. I guess it felt too heavy right after waking up, so I was forced to try something else.
I looked around the kitchen to find a simple carb that will supply enough energy to sustain me through an intense workout.
I noticed there was some organic honey on the counter and decided to go for it since I was running out of time. So, I mixed a tablespoon with some cinnamon and creatine and headed off to the gym. Surprisingly, my stomach felt calm and my body was enjoying it, so I continued with the same concoction for the rest of the week.
The conclusion was that honey was my perfect pre-workout supplement.
I couldnt wait to look it up and see if there was any validity to what I was experiencing. And there was!
Dr. Richard Kreider of the University of Memphis Exercise and Sport Nutrition Laboratory, conducted various studies that revealed honeys amazing fitness benefits.
One of the studies compared honeys effects to other carbohydrate gels. Honey showed to be just as good or better than those industry sport gels!
As a pre-workout snack, honey can increase power, speed and endurance. Honey acted as a time-released carb source that did not create a sugar spike and crash. Its low glycemic index, sustained blood sugar for up to 2 hours after a workout.
As a post-workout supplement, honey mixed with protein was shown to be great and effective for refueling and recovering the muscles.
According to a study conducted by the University of California, honey contains as many antioxidants as spinach, apples, oranges and strawberries. WOW.

Just so that you know, honey is not a low-glycemic index food. It is lower than table sugar but that is not the same as saying it is low.
In fact 38.5% of it is Fructose which is the sugar with the highest glycemic index of all. Another 31.3% is Glucose which is also a high glycemic index sugar. 1.3% is Sucrose, which is table sugar. These three combined (roughly 70%) are similar in composition to Inverted Sugar Syrup which is that nasty diabetes-causing stuff they put in processed foods.
However, honey also contains Maltose (7.1%) which has a lower glycemic index, and contains 1.5% complex carbohydrates which also have a lower glycemic index. These contribute to lowering the overall glycemic index of honey as a food, and help it give a sustained carbohydrate release as the complex carbs break down.
But at 1.5% that is a very small portion of the overall composition.
By all means enjoy your honey, and it is a natural product, but like all things it should be enjoyed in moderation because it can be a very unhealthy food.
Kind Regards

Whole wheat bread + peanut butter + honey = great pre-run snack. I use that quite a bit when I take my long runs (5+ miles).
Aside from that, I eat local honey. It helps with my allergies. I was skeptical but it does seem to work for me.

Sure honey is the best supplements during workouts.
I also use honey before doing my workouts.

YARNELL, Ariz. (AP) - The water system for Yarnell is advising residents returning to their community after being evacuated because of the Yarnell Hill wildfire to boil water before consuming it.
The Yarnell Water Improvement Association says there's no known contamination but that the boil advisory is being issued because the water system lost pressure due to the fire and related activities.
The association says it expects to receive results on Tuesday from water sample testing.
Residents are advised to boil water for at least three minutes before using it for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth or preparing or washing food.
The association also says it is banning high-volume usage such as watering landscaping or washing vehicles.

COLUMBUS COUNTY, NC (WECT) – Thousands of drivers and passengers were cited in North Carolina around the Thanksgiving holiday for not wearing a seatbelt.
According to State Transportation Secretary Gene Conti, more than 3,700 people were cited during the Click it or Ticket campaign, which was held Nov. 19-25.
"Multiple crashes have been reported in the news recently where motorists who were not wearing their seatbelts have been killed. It is imperative that everyone in the car buckles up," said Conti. "I thank all of the law enforcement agencies for their hard work reinforcing this message."
State and local law enforcement officers issued the citations during more than 4,600 checkpoints and stepped-up patrols statewide.
There were two dozen checkpoints in Columbus County and a total of 654 traffic and criminal violations. More than 230 people were given citations for seatbelt violations and 14 were given DWIs.
