Exercise: How to Get Started
Frequently Asked Questions
13. How do I avoid injury?
The health benefits of exercise far outweigh any risks of injury. However, you can take some precautions to exercise safely.
Follow these tips to avoid injury:
- When starting an exercise program, begin slowly with low-intensity exercises.
- Wait at least 2 hours after eating a large meal before doing strenuous exercise.
- Wear appropriate shoes for your activity and comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move freely but won't catch on other objects.
- Warm up with low-intensity exercises at the beginning of each exercise session.
- Drink water before, during, and after your exercise session.
- When exercising outdoors, pay attention to your surroundings -- consider possible traffic hazards, the weather, uneven walking surfaces, and strangers.
Stop exercising if you:
- Have pain or pressure in your chest, neck, shoulder, or arm
- Feel dizzy or sick to your stomach
- Break out in a cold sweat
- Have muscle cramps
- Feel severe pain in joints, feet, ankles, or legs

Thanks for the comments. Steamed yukon golds in white sauce thinned with tater broth. It's tough to beat butter, cream and potatoes in any combination. Swiss chard with a bunch of pancetta is the other side. I'll post on the Transglut thread in more detail on the prep. I'm new to glue but have done a number of sous vide dishes and I have some good photos of the progression of the dishes. I will also post pics of a shrimp mosaic that I prepared this week based on an Ideas In Food recipe.

I made it just like my mom did except I used fresh parsley. I not sure if she used nutmeg but all of the spices in our house were of the buy one tin and they last a lifetime variety so it became a moot point. I usually use fresh grated nutmeg in my white sauces and try for the "hint" dose.
do you add a 'hint' of fresh grated nutmeg to those potats? I always add just a hint of fresh ( from the whole nut ) to anything white.

Spaghetti with roasted cauliflower, olives and figs
This is a play on pasta con cavolfiore, using what was in my pantry tonight.
Takes about an hour, prep time included -- and uses two pots total: one to cook the pasta, and one to roast the cauliflower.
The roasted cauliflower is just that -- cauliflower florets seasoned with olive oil, sea salt and black pepper, then roasted at 375 F for 35 minutes.
To that, add cooked spaghetti, chopped Castelvetrano olives, slivered pickled cherry peppers and chopped dried Spanish figs. Mix well. Drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil, taste for salt and pepper, sprinkle some chopped parsley, then serve immediately.

Have you thought of using the disposable pan as a liner for the stoneware one? Just a thought...
Lasagne with chopped kale, sauteed mushrooms, and a little chopped chicken. Made with Barilla no boil noodles, hence the extra liquid. I find that it absorbs more as it sits and leftovers are perfect...I tend to make the sauce pretty soupy to start. And I used a disposable pan, which doesn't help with it's lack of thermal properties vs a nice stoneware one.

A few recent dinners:
Meatballs and marinara sauce over polenta, with a salad of fresh mozzarella, roasted baby Roma tomatoes, and balsamic cream.
White beans and ham. Unremarkable but for the fact this was a Broadbent country ham from Kentucky, and possibly the best country ham into which I have ever sunk a tooth.
I got enthusiastic over the weekend and cooked a vaguely Germanic pork shoulder roast. Brined it for 24 hours in a brine of water, kosher salt, brown sugar, allspice and cider vinegar. Braised it in apple juice with dried cherries, onion and garlic. Served it with caramelized apples and onions, potato salad, and red cabbage. It was quite excellent.
The brined roast
The braised and finished with a honey and apple juice glaze roast in a 500-degree oven
The well-filled plate!

I prepped the chicken Saturday with sage and thyme under the skin then salted and peppered the skin liberally.
The chicken was nice and dry when I brought it out of the fridge Monday supper time. The oven was set at 475F and I cooked it according to the times recommended.
OMG! It was a success! The skin was golden, crispy, especially the wing tips, which have always been my favourite part of the chicken.
There were only about 2 tbsps. of fat in the bottom of my pan, but there was lots of "scrapings". This with a bit of chicken stock and what little juice came out of the chicken as it rested was all the "sauce" needed. The chicken was full of "roast chicken" flavour. The meat was tender and juicy.
For a 3.5 lb chicken, it took just under an hour with 10 minute rest.
We didn't have the bread salad as we ar5e cutting down on carbs, but the chicken was well accompanied by a medly of stir-fried vegetables.
It was REALLY hard to NOT eat the crispy skin!.

Kate – I think your Italian wedding soup looks delicious and I love the little 'bomber'!
Prawn!!! – wonderful to 'see' you and your gorgeous food!
Brownhornet – lovely pasta. I got a pasta machine with some Christmas giftcards and I'm heartened to hear that it was easy for you. I'm a bit intimidated.
Scotty – your 'steak and eggs' has me swooning!
Chris – I've never made that classic recipe and need to. It looks and sounds wonderful.
Soba – gorgeous pasta and cauliflower. Those are two things that I never think to put together and I don't know why. Maybe because they are both white? Dunno, but I need to try it – looks delicious!
Kayb – welcome back, girl!! I am WAY behind in my catching up at your blog and have missed you here. Those beans, that pork. Ahhhhh!
Some recent meals:
Spaghetti Bolognese and garlic bread.
Sandwiches and chips:
Cucumber, tuna salad, egg salad and olive and cream cheese.
Marcella Hazan's Pink Shrimp Sauce w/ Cream on fettuccine:
Bruce made this back in December and it's been haunting me ever since. It was fantastic. The method is unusual to me. After shrimp is sautéed, 2/3 of it is pureed and becomes a part of a sauce that includes tomato paste, wine and cream. What you end up with is a shrimp and pasta dish that REALLY tastes of the shrimp. It is easy and quick enough to be a weeknight meal, but impressive enough for company. And, since it easily serves 3-4 with a half a pound of shrimp it's also economical. Thanks so much, Bruce!
I've been craving pancakes for a week, so that's what was for dinner tonight. Also eggs and sausage:
I've been searching for years for THE pancake recipe. I love thick, light, fluffy pancakes and have found lots of good recipes, but not the ONE. I think that I finally have! I just Googled "thick and fluffy pancakes" and BAM. I found the recipe on a site called realmomkitchen.com, but it has a long genealogy – back through veronicascornucopea.com, radishesandrhubarb.com to Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook with little adjustments here and there. Well, I have that cookbook, of course, but I've never tried the pancakes. It is very easy to assume that dowdy little cookbooks like that don't have much to teach modern me. I am chastened. Here are my pancakes:
And even though the photo is blurry, you can see how thick these were:
You'll have to take my word about the fluffy and light part, though. Fabulous. And JUST what I wanted tonight.

Crostini di bietoline (beet greens crostini).
Just beet greens, garlic, olive oil, white wine vinegar, sea salt, peperoncini. Topped with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
You can omit the vinegar; I added just a touch for a hint of acidity.
Totally doable in 20 minutes -- chop some garlic, add it to a cold pan along with some olive oil. warm the oil over medium heat. once the garlic turns a pale gold, add the greens, along with a scant pinch of salt and the peperoncini. cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the greens are wilted according to your liking. add some wine vinegar if you like. spoon atop toasted bread slices (in this case, you see slices from a baguette), drizzle with extra-virgin oil, top with cheese, then serve immediately.
Ditalini ("little thimbles") e ceci
This version has beet greens, kale and a little leftover plain white rice from some Chinese takeout.
Besides the vegetables and pasta, it differs from my previous version because the battuto contains leek in addition to the pancetta, celery, carrot and onion.

The flavour reminds me a lot of the Chinese yeem gok gai - salted roast chicken. The difference is the addition of 5-spice powder to the salt.
The drying process will definitely be used to achieve that crispy skin on my next yeem gok gai!
AND, Soba, I love beet greens. Will have to make use of your crostini next time I have greens on hand.

Chiropractic care is very beneficial for both Mother and Baby!
What are the benefits of Chiropractic care during pregnancy?
1- Prepares the pelvis for an easier pregnancy and birth by creating a state of balance in pelvic bony structutes, ligaments and muscles.
2- Reduces interference to the mother's vital nerve system which controls and c0-ordinates all of her systems and functions.
3- Helps reduce the common back and hip pains the mother experiences.
My Experience and Story with Chiropractic Care
I have two children of my own and the last one is about 15 months old. During my pregnancy I worked until about 8 months. Providing Chiropractic care can be very demanding on the body, and I wanted to have a better pregnancy outcome with the second child than the first child. My first experience involved a lot of stress, little to no exercise, alot of sitting, and almost a C-section. I had Pregnancy induced hypertension. I went to the hospital with very high blood pressure, and there was a risk of having a seizure due to the severe pre-eclampsia condition state. Luckily I expressed my adament feeling of I did not want a C-section. My doctor was awesome, for respecting my wishes. I ended up having to be induced, labor was difficult and the chances of having a C-section were very high. I did have my child without a C-section and was very glad.
Now here is what I experienced in my second pregnancy:
1- I worked out for 8 months
2- I had regular Chiropractic Care
3- I had massage care care once monthly and I ate healthier
Not only did I feel great, but I had the easiest delivery any mom could ever ask for in her pregnancy.
What is the Webster Technique?
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment which reduces nerve system stress, improves pelvic muscle and ligament function reducing torsion to the uterus and potential intrauterine constraint allowing the baby to get into the best possible position for birth.

Gas prices in Abilene and the rest of the nation going up
Gas prices are going up, again.
Gone were the below $3-a-gallon prices at the pump many in the Abilene area enjoyed for several weeks in November and December. Majority of the gas stations in the city are now selling regular gasoline at $3.45 and a few at $3.35 a gallon (one station is selling gas at $3.49 a gallon).
Actually, prices in every state have gone up the past couple of weeks, according to AAA Texas/New Mexico spokesman Doug Shupe.
"The increases are most dramatic in the Midwest in states like Indiana, Michigan and Illinois and other states like California and Colorado," Shupe said Tuesday. "Those regions have seen price increases because of increased regional crude prices in those areas."
Nationally, the price of oil has gone from around $85 a barrel in December to around $97 now, and market analysts credit that to improving economic certainty as the country moved past the election and the fiscal cliff deadline.
Midwest and West Coast refineries also are preparing to make conversion modification from winter grade to summer grade gasoline.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, gasoline prices go up during the summer, starting around Memorial Day. Demand for fuel also peaks due to people traveling more for vacations and extended road trips.
Texas is set to convert to summer grade in mid-March. The summer grade formula takes more refining and produces about 10 percent less gasoline out of the same barrel of oil than it does during the winter.
In Texas, prices increased due to positive economic news which is resulting in an increase demand for fuel along with the planned maintenance of refineries that happens this time every year.
Refineries conduct maintenance usually in the spring months, shutting it down and limiting capacity until late May.
The EPA said oil supplies are stretched because of those disruptions, which drives gas prices up.
As of Tuesday, the average price of gas in Texas, according to AAA, is $3.41 a gallon — it was $3.44 the same day a year ago.
One week ago, the average in the state was $3.36 a gallon. AAA's weekly gas report last Thursday placed the state average at $3.38.
Gas prices in the vast majority of pumps in the Abilene area remained steady at $2.95 a gallon for a few weeks in November before creeping up to $3.05 later in December, the price of which also was the state average the week of Dec. 14 to Dec. 20.
So, what's on tap for the coming weeks?
"We really don't know where the prices are going to go," Shupe pointed out. "There are some analysts who say we may not see a spike like this for the rest of the year, but with so many factors, we (AAA) can't say we're not going to see more spikes because, for one, we don't know what the hurricane season is going to bring us."
According to AAA, the national average price at the pump on regular gas as of Tuesday was $3.60 a gallon — it was $3.51 a year ago.
Hawaii has the highest average gas price in the nation at $4.24 a gallon, AAA reported Tuesday.

Your official information source from the .NET Web Development and Tools group at Microsoft.
19th of April we shipped Visual Studio Orcas Beta1. See Soma's blog entry: . Downloads are here. This is also first time Express editions are available for download including Visual Web Developer Express. VWD Orcas Express download is bigger than in VWD 2005 Express largely because of the new HTML designer. Express editions are also considered a CTP rather than Beta1.
There are two known issues in the Web Tools in Beta 1. The affect both Visual Studio and VWD Express
1. CSS editing tools may appear disabled. Workaround: copy CSS21.XML file from Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12\SCHEMAS\CSS to Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE and restart Visual Studio.
2. Some HTML Designer UI may appear in English in localized versions of the Beta1. There is no workaround for this issue unfortunately.
If you wish to provide feedback, you can use Microsoft Connect site. Select Visual Studio there. There is no separate entry for Orcas or Visual Web Developer, but don't worry, we will receive your feedback. Alternatively, you can post feedback in ASP.NET forums for the Visual Studio Orcas.
I am unable to use the Virtual PC image of Orcas.
After downloading and unpacking, I start up the image, and get this error:
"The parent virtual hard disk has been deleted or moved from its previous location. Please select the new location of the parent virtual hard disk.
HELP! This is frustrating after downloading 5+ GB, and unpacking the 12GB image.
Nevermind, Pete.
Actually reading the instructions on the download page seemed to help ;)

To do nothing to assist people in getting healthcare is one thing. To obstruct people getting healthcare is another. If I am walking down the street and see someone lying bleeding in the street and choose not to help, that is bad enough. To pull a gun on the EMT's when they arrive to prevent them from treating the person would be reprehensible.
I would like to see the Democrats confront these repugs at every opportunity. Commercials, debates, townhalls. Be aggressive and dispute every "fact" that they assert not only on ACA but every issue. Drive home the point that Democrats are not just trying to help Democrats. We are trying to help women, minorities, poor and middle class, college students, LGBT, Americans! We don't care what party you are or where your from, or how much you make. We want everyone.

Bellaclub - Brief Review
I recently purchased a 30-day membership to the Brazilian site Bellaclub - a few thoughts:
- strictly a softcore glamour site - no full-frontal nudity (makes the Playboy sites seem explicit by comparison!)
- approximately 140 gorgeous Brazilian models, unlikely to be seen on any non-Brazilian site
- beautiful photography; large, medium & small format photos available
- each model has approx. 60 - 80 photos, sometimes more; and a single behind-the-scenes-type video, usually about 5 minutes long
- some leg & foot photos available with some models
- available in 4 different languages (English, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish)
- some articles & blogs, but nothing too interesting - the articles are grouped into sub-sections such as What Women Want, Personal Trainer, Dating etc.
- site navigation is a bit awkward
- no extra sites available with a membership
- usually $16/month, but they seem to have frequent special pricing offers, from 30 - 50% off the regular price
If you're interested in softcore glamour photos, and are looking for some fresh models not seen on the other sites, you might want to try Bellaclub (especially during one of their discount periods).

Third Rabid Skunk Found In St. Cloud
CBS Minnesota (con't)
Affordable Care Act Updates: CBSMinnesota.com/ACA
Health News & Information: CBSMinnesota.com/Health
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Authorities in St. Cloud are telling residents to be sure their pets are vaccinated after a third skunk found recently tested positive Friday for rabies.
The city says its Animal Control Division reported capturing the skunk on the city's south side. It's the third skunk to have tested positive for rabies in the past three weeks.
The skunk had several encounters with dogs. But the dogs' owners told authorities that their pets are up-to-date on vaccinations.
The skunk had no contact with humans.
If you are bitten by an animal, seek medical attention, especially if you come in contact with their saliva. Also, tell children not to touch unfamiliar animals, wild or domestic.

(USA TODAY) -- President Obama is claiming executive privilege in refusing to give certain documents to Congress concerning the "Fast and Furious" operation.
The Justice Department requested that Obama assert the privilege in refusing to turn certain documents over to Congress concerning the botched gun-smuggling operation.
The news comes as House Republicans consider holding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt over the Fast and Furious dispute.
In a letter to Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, a Justice Department official said executive privilege applies to documents that explain how the department learned of problems with the investigation.
"I write now to inform you that the President has asserted executive privilege over the relevant post-February 4, 2011, documents," writes Deputy Attorney General James Cole. "We regret that we have arrived at this point, after the many steps we have taken to address the Committee's concerns and to accommodate the Committee's legitimate oversight interests regarding Operation Fast and Furious."
Republicans said they are stunned by the president's move, while Democrats on the oversight committee accused GOP lawmakers of carrying out a political witch hunt.
"The president's assertion of executive privilege creates more questions," said Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind. "That brings into question whether Eric Holder knew about it and how much the president knew about it."
The White House made the move after Issa and Holder met late Tuesday evening for about 20 minutes in an unsuccessful, last-minute effort to head off today's hearing to consider whether to hold Holder in contempt. Holder told reporters following the meeting that he offered to provide the documents on the condition that Issa gave his assurance that doing so would satisfy two committee subpoenas and resolve the dispute.
Issa is particularly interested in seeing documents that shed light on why the Department of Justice decided to withdraw a February 2011 letter sent to Congress denying allegations of gunwalking.
Elijah Cummings, D-Md., the ranking member of the committee, noted that the Justice Department had already turned over more than 1,000 pages of documents and questioned Issa's motives.
"It seems clear that you had no interest in resolving this issue, and that the Committee planned to go forward with contempt before we walked into the meeting with the Attorney General," Cummings said.
The investigation into the operation was spurred after Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, inquired into whistle-blower allegations that the government had allowed the transfer of illegally purchased weapons that were found at the scene of the murder of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
Grassley slammed the White House on Wednesday for the move.
"How can the president assert executive privilege if there was no White House involvement?" Grassley said in a statement. "How can the president exert executive privilege over documents he's supposedly never seen? Is something very big being hidden to go to this extreme?"

SU Podium rendering plug-in released for Mac
updated 05:15 pm EDT, Thu August 14, 2008
SketchUp Podium for Mac
Mac users of Google SketchUp 5/6/Pro will now be able to use the SU Podium rendering plug-in, just released for Mac OS X. Podium for Mac will be identical to the Windows version except for the OS compatibility. Users of the Windows version are permitted to switch to the new Mac version for free using their original serial number. A full Light fixture library for Mac has also been released, including a total of 227 fixtures that can be added to any SketchUp scene.
Podium uses SketchUp's surfaces, textures, views, background color, and shadows to render images of the user's scene by simulating light reflected from all surfaces. Lighting or reflection effects can be changed by changing the background color or adding shadows.
Lights can be differentiated as omni-lights that emit light in all directions, such as light bulbs in a room, or LEMs which emit light in one direction, such as the ambient glow of a television on a wall. Podium uses ray tracing and global illumination to render images. Commercial versions of podium allow images resolutions of 230X150, 640X480, 1024X768, 2048X1536, 3076X2304, and the entire SketchUp Viewport resolution of the computer screen. Podium is available for purchase from their website, the commercial version for $180 and a student version for $80.

Why Did Gene drop Christopher Pike?
View Single Post
August 7 2012, 01:59 PM
Re: Why Did Gene drop Christopher Pike?
Although really, early first-season Kirk is the exact same character as Pike -- a serious, driven, brooding, lonely starship commander. He only evolved into a different character as Shatner's performance influenced the role and (probably) as the writers came under network pressure to make Kirk a more conventional '60s action hero.
After all, the name change to "Christopher Pike" happened very shortly before shooting began. For most of the development process, the captain was named Robert April (which eventually got used as the name of a separate character in the animated series), and I think it was briefly Winter or something before he settled on Pike. So changing "Pike" to "Kirk" was just another name switch to start with.
So theoretically, Roddenberry could've just hired Shatner to take over the role of Pike, the way pilot actors are often recast in the series (like Willow in
, Ginger and the Professor in
Gilligan's Island
, Father Mulcahy in
, the entire pilot cast of the UK
Being Human
, etc.). And by the same token, he could've just recast Dr. Boyce with Paul Fix and then DeForest Kelley (who was the actor he wanted all along anyway), since Boyce, Piper, and McCoy are also essentially the same character. But instead he decided to change the names each time he recast a role. Maybe that was because he had the foresight that he might want to recycle the pilot as a flashback (especially once the network pretty much nixed the entire pilot cast as inadequate), or maybe it was just because he kept changing his mind about what to call his characters.

Types of Grants
Each year the Ford Foundation receives about 40,000 proposals and makes about 1,400 grants. Requests range from a few thousand to millions of dollars and are accepted in categories such as project planning and support; general support; and endowments. Grant applications are reviewed at our New York headquarters and in our regional offices. Please check the locations of our regional offices to determine if we operate in your country of interest.
A grant is a commitment by the foundation to make payments to an organization or an individual over a set period of time to further the work of one of our initiatives. The foundation gives the grantee autonomy over management of the funds, but all grantees must sign a letter agreeing to abide by the terms and conditions of the grant. Grants administrators ensure that the grant-making process—from preparation of the grant recommendation to processing final reports—conforms to the foundation's procedures and standards.
Here are the types of grants we make:
- General/core support
- Project
- Planning
- Competition
- Matching
- Recoverable
- Individual
- Endowment
- Foundation-administered project
- Program-related investment

I once taught a Sunday afternoon class for grown-ups that was known for its droll curriculum. The lessons were laid out just-so. The students filed in with blank looks, opened books and attempted to keep eyes open. It wasn't awesome. So, I fell back on a little belief I have: that we're all just kids in grown-up bodies.
We all want a little bit of delight in the middle of our daily grind. Within two weeks of adding child-like surprises–baskets full of treats, music in the middle, invitations to stand and jump and shake their neighbors' hand–the class attendees starting showing up with smiles on their faces. They couldn't wait to see what we were going to do next. Boredom was kicked by curiosity, and the inner wonderment of their inner childness started to shine forth.
I've never forgotten that lesson. It stuck, somehow, and I find myself often wondering how I can turn the everydayboring into the everydayawesome. Upon moving to my new digs in SLC (photos coming soon! I want you to see how fun this place is!) my darling landlords thumbsed-up the painting of a wall in the dining room–from meh brown to chalkboard.
My Alyssie and I used two cans of paint, a tin full of brushes and edgers, and within a matter of minutes, had ourselves a giant-sized wall of happiness.
Now, when visitors stop by, we hand them a smidgen of chalk and invite them to leave a little wisdom on our wall. It's been remarkable to watch friends who have stopped by and settled into the niceties of dinner conversation, turn into sages offering advice for a lifetime.
Handing grown-ups chalk seems to bring out their giddy inner kid, and their age-old wise man. The sayings writ on our wall have ranged from favorite quotes from famous people to personal truths gleaned from a lifetime of experience and struggle and unbridled optimism.
Looking for a way to turn your dining room into a butterfly net of magical wonderment? Chalkboard paint it up, hand a stick of chalk to your next dinner guest, and let the little kid in them teach you something delightful. It works every time.
The Best Part is an online community that's dedicated to brightening your day—every day. How? By spreading optimism, one share at a time. The Best Part posts inspirational stories, encouraging quotes, good news and other upbeat items on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram—and encourages fans and followers to share that optimism with their friends. Because when optimism is shared, it grows, making an even more positive impact on our world. Check out what others are sharing on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Lawsuit: Women were not allowed to use bathroom while in custody
Deputy describes 'watefall of urine' in testimony
SAN DIEGO - New evidence obtained by 10News points to problems that may have led to an ugly mess after 11 women were stuck in a sheriff's van and unable to use the bathroom.
In October 2011, after weeks of the Occupy movement occupying the downtown Civic Center plaza, police and deputies in riot gear moved in and arrested more than 50 people, claiming the plaza had become unsanitary and dangerous.
Nicole Gochmanosky was speaking on a megaphone moments before she was taken in. She was put in a truck, and then into a San Diego County Sheriff's Department van about a block away with 10 other women.
She said she asked to go to the bathroom and got this response: "'If you want to go to the bathroom, you're going to have to go in the van.'"
For hours, Gochmanosky said she and others held it before she had to go.
Shackled, she said she shimmied off her pants and relieved herself on the floor of the van.
Gochmanosky said she and others continued to beg for a bathroom, including one woman with an urgent need.
"The driver, who is a deputy, told her to she had to defecate in her pants," said Julia Yoo, Gochmanosky's attorney.
Gochmanosky said by the time they were processed at Las Colinas Detention Facility, some had waited seven hours, mired in smelly filth.
"Just not feeling good … the smell, and you're feeling mentally degraded, embarrassed and starting to feel non-human," said Gochmanosky.
She and nearly all of the women sued the sheriff's department and San Diego Police Department, and Yoo has begun deposing witnesses.
"One of the deputies described what he saw as a waterfall of urine coming out of the van," said Yoo.
More evidence has also surfaced in an internal sheriff's after-action report, which said deputies informed police that due to the short 9-hour notice for the operation, the mobile booking team was not provided for the detail.
"They knew there were going to 30-100 would be arrested, " said Yoo.
Yoo said poor planning also led to a lack of any portable bathrooms, but she isn't sure why the women weren't allowed to use bathrooms at the Central Jail blocks away. Yoo said a deputy recently testified that those bathrooms were a viable option.
The charges against Gochmanosky and nearly all of the other protesters were dropped.
The City Attorney's Office declined to comment on the matter, and 10News is still waiting for a response from county officials.

Cartoon. The very word brings to mind images of buffoonery, larger than life characters and absurd situations. The last thing we usually associate with cartoons is serious social and political concepts, but throughout history, humorous and satirical drawings have pushed the boundaries of civil discourse.
Created by artists passionate about forcing us to look ourselves in the mirror, editorial cartoons used to be an essential part of any thriving newspaper. The things we're able to laugh at say a lot about who we are as a nation, society and species.
Of course, the internet has changed all that, giving just about anyone the ability to share their thoughts or art with an international audience. Still, examining political cartoons throughout the ages can provide interesting insights into how far we've come and the work that remains. A new book aims to chronicle the metamorphosis of the American health care reform debate by compiling scores of cartoons that dealt with the topic.
"Political cartoons cut to the essence of our battle over who should foot the bill for medical coverage and how that care should be structured," explains Theodore Brown, one the four authors of The Quest for Health Care Reform: A Satirical History due out in January 2013. "But unlike the pain involved in our political struggle, cartoons deliver their uncomfortable truths with such irreverent wit and visual imagination that you can't help but chuckle."
While many of the overarching themes have remained the same, the complexity of the nation's health delivery system and the number and financial power of special interests has mushroomed in recent decades, says Brown. From pharmaceutical and insurance lobbies to hospitals, physicians and patient rights groups, the debate has grown more complex and confusing for the public.
We rounded up five of our favorites from Brown's book. See anything familiar? (Click to enlarge)

A N M. great point!
All I ever hear from republicans is that Obamacare will cause people to have to wait longer for doctor appointments. Excuse me? People should die just so a few jerks won't get inconvenienced with longer waits to see a doctor who's incapable of doing better scheduling? Talk about ME ME ME, or what's up with this?
eLSA- I NEVER said anything about freebies to the poor. My comment was about the middle class paying for everyone else and getting nothing out of it. Which is what Obamacare is supposed to do for us. Where do you get against freebies for the poor from that? Either re-read my post and get it right or shut up about it already.
Sad but true.
Nothing changed in years...
These cartoons are so good and so funny, particularly the last 3.
Thanks Beth for the article. I support the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act passed by congress but would have preferred a single payer plan, which I think in all honesty would have been better for all of us.
Recall all Republicans!
You are the one that stated that you didn't want your tax dollars to go for freebies for the poor. Sure sound to me like you are agains it.

Startups who make significant progress during the accelerator may be invited to remain in the Bizdom space for up to 6 months and will continue to receive support as they raise their next round of funding.
Can I join Bizdom's accelerator and take classes or work at the same time?
Not likely. If you are accepted into Bizdom, at least one of your cofounders (preferably more) must commit full-time energy to launching your startup during our 3-month accelerator. That means no school, no work. That is a commitment that you make to yourself and a requirement for us investing in your startup. Take this opportunity to pour all of your energy into making your startup incredible so that you can increase your chances of succeeding, and position yourself to receive follow-on funding at the end of the program.
Even though our accelerator is a full time, intense experience, that doesn't mean that you have to be here from 9am to 5pm. This is your startup, you are not our employee. You can come and go as you please, and you'll have access to our workspace 24 hours a day if you'd like to work into the night.
If I have a team of cofounders, should we submit one online application or more?
Only one application per team is needed, but please include bios and contact information for all team members.
Does Bizdom invest in single founders or teams of cofounders?
We will consider both, but we strongly encourage teams of at least two cofounders. Creating scalable startups is challenging and takes a lot of hard work. Having a well-rounded team increases your chances of succeeding. That being said, single founders are still encouraged to apply.
How does Bizdom define "scalable"?
A scalable business is one that can scale/expand operations without significant capital investment. For example, a restaurant is not easy to scale because it would require significant investment to expand from one to two locations (finding a new location, buying equipment, paying staff, etc.)
How does Bizdom define "innovative"?
An innovative business is one that solves a problem in a better way. This doesn't mean that you need to create the cure for cancer or a totally new invention. You'll likely have a better chance of succeeding with your startup by identifying an existing market and then creating a better business model than currently exists.
What types of startups are a good fit for Bizdom?
Bizdom is looking to invest in the best and brightest aspiring entrepreneurs with innovative, scalable business ideas. While we support all entrepreneurial endeavors, we're interested in investing in certain types of businesses that fit within our expertise. We are looking for early stage startups that are web or tech based, scalable and can get to beta, first customers, or work on product/customer development within 3 months with $25k. If you have raised additional capital in addition to our investment before or during our accelerator, that is great, too. Here are a few examples: Enterprise or cross platform software, healthcare, digital sales/marketing, IT, sports and gaming.
We're not currently looking to fund traditional agency/consulting-based models, heavy manufacturing, brick and mortar retail, or pharma/biotech.
Who's eligible to join Bizdom?
Candidates must be 18 years or older, and have an idea or existing early stage startup that is innovative, web or tech-based and has the potential to scale.

Nebraska Hotels
Better known as the Cornhusker State, Nebraska is a great state vacation with plenty to do for travelers of every age.
The top attraction in Nebraska is the Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo. It's the top attraction in the state, as well as one of the top zoos in the country because of its many species of animals, various exhibits and the largest indoor rainforest in America.
The largest lake in Nebraska is Lake McConaughy, and it's the perfect spot to spend a warm afternoon. It's fun for swimming, water skiing, fishing, boating and just about anything else you can do on the water. Another water spot is the Niobrara National Scenic River. This always flowing recreation river is the place to go kayaking, and is also where many people go hiking or horseback riding through the picturesque trails.
Interested in history? Visit Chimney Rock National Historic Site to see the very tall Chimney Rock and learn about the life and experiences of Native Americans venturing through the Oregon-California Trail.

When I was young, hunting mushrooms was a family affair. We are Italian, so wild-food collection is in our genes. And I loved it: the treks through the cool woods, the moment the pattern of camouflaged mushrooms emerged and they suddenly appeared everywhere. It felt wondrous when a mushroom popped up where there wasn't one the day before — a tendency of mushrooms that lends them an aura of mystery. But, scientifically, it's all pretty straightforward. Mushrooms are the reproductive structures, the fruiting bodies, of fungi. When you kick up the duff of the forest floor or break open a rotting log, that cotton-candy-like stuff is a fungus. It's composed of strings of microscopic cells that absorb nutrients and water from whatever substrate it's living in. When the fungus delivers water to the nascent fruiting bodies, they swell up like a sponge and push through the earth, appearing as if by magic.
My original sense of wonder hasn't dissipated throughout the many years I have studied mushrooms. But mushrooms weren't much on my mind throughout my young adulthood — not until I went hiking in a Colorado conifer forest. One minute we were walking through the woods, and then suddenly, as if a veil was lifted, we witnessed the conversion of the forest floor — everywhere, porcini.
I feigned interest in the lectures, but honestly, I just wanted to learn where I could find lots of morels.
I developed the foraging bug big time after that, but I was often skunked. I didn't really understand why the mushrooms I wanted to eat grew where and when they did. That's why I joined the New York Mycological Society: to unearth the secret of successful hunting "for the pot." At early meetings of the club, I feigned interest in the lectures on slime mold or whatever, but honestly, I just wanted to learn where I could find lots of morels.
So I began to attend forays — first those organized by the NYMS, then further afield. These events, put together by mycological societies or professional mushroom hunters all over the country, are like Trekkie conventions for mushroom enthusiasts. There are guided walks in the woods with mycologists, classes on mushroom cultivation, lots of mushroom eating, and lectures by academics. I started to recognize types of mushrooms, remember the nomenclature, and understand their ancient and complex relationships with plants. In essence, I learned to look under the right trees.
I discovered that some fungi, the saprophytes, are the recyclers of nature, and if it weren't for them we'd be living under miles of plant debris. Most of the mushrooms we buy in stores are saprophytes, largely because they are easy to grow. You just need to give them their preferred food — wood chips in some cases. The Japanese figured out how to cultivate the shiitake, a decayer of Shii trees, centuries ago. In the West, we started with Agaricus bisporus, the white button mushroom, which decays compost. But mushrooms are no longer a one- or two-species commodity. An increasing diversity of cultivars like hen of the woods and blewits are finding their way into American markets.
Truffles are one of the few types of cultivated mushrooms that are not saprophytes. They are fussy and hard to grow because they are mutualists: the fruiting bodies of mycorrhizal fungi, which live on and in the roots of living plants. They trade nutrients in the soil for sugars produced by the plant. In general, plants without a mycorrhizal fungus living on their roots do not thrive, and in the case of conifers, mycorrhizal fungi are so important that without them the tree may die of malnutrition. For those who cultivate truffles, it's worth establishing an orchard to support them because they can sell for thousands of dollars a pound. But all the other mycorrhizal fungi we eat, like porcini and chanterelle mushrooms, are picked in the wild.
I was stunned to learn of the sheer volume of fungal life on Earth: 25 percent of the biomass! Six times more species than plants!
Then there are all the fungi we can't always see: the fungal pathogens that can kill plants and the marvelous endophytes, which are fungi that live between and within the cells of all plants and can function as a kind of shadow immune system. Without them, if farmers sterilize their seedlings, for instance, the plants are less able to tolerate such stresses as drought.
I was stunned to learn of the sheer volume of fungal life on Earth: 25 percent of the biomass! Six times more species than plants! One fungus is the largest living organism on the planet! Up to 10 spores inhaled with every breath! Really, I felt like I was being pummeled by fungal revelations. And they continue. A recent study describes the key role fungal enzymes could play in the creation of biofuels.
Like most people, I long defined existence by what I could see, when, in fact, it's what we can't see — the microbial community — that is so vitally important to life. I think we all try to find ways to understand truths that are bigger than ourselves. The study of fungi was the window by which I came to appreciate, both literally and metaphorically, that a spoonful of soil contains an entire world.

Hi Crystal,
Just one of your blog stalkers here to tell you that your hair looks great!! After your haircut story, I was really expecting much worse! You look very cute! My boys both entered "boyhood" about that same age and later received larger boo-boos that have left scars on each of their faces. I was upset at first, but they don't show as much anymore.
Take care!

The hell as Europe have to do with RTS related stuff?
group for the ALL CnC modders/mappers. Fans are welcome as well. Just play nicely.
RTS Base Competition VOTING Finally it is here. In the VGAR Forum. Written by Orange. 15. August 2010. More then 50 characters in length.
Posted by OrangeNero on Aug 14th, 2010
RTS Base Competition VOTING
Finally it is here.
We, the VGAR family, the competitors and all who have helped to make this happen proudly present you our creations.
The list is in chronological order. The Bases can be found here:
click on me > Bases < click on me
click on me > VOTING < click on me
You can only give 1 vote. so choose wise. The competitors can technically vote for their own but... This thread is also open for everything you want to tell about the RTS Base Beauty Contest. The Base Thread is open for everyone to post his bases. however this voting is set.
Some words from me to the competitors:
I would like to thank you all for your support by joining into the contest. This would not have been possible without your help. You all did a great job. I have seen creations from young and determined to experienced and old-school competitors and once again, you did great.
The hell as Europe have to do with RTS related stuff?
chill, your spreading bad karma.
airborne is leader of europe, and part of the contest. if he does not like the news being related to the group then he will take care of it. no need to worry :)
Aple all the way
Aple had a really great base, although it was a 2d game.
is there something wrong with 2d games?
although u think it is a 2d game,it is not but a primitive 3d game using voxel models,and i think its fanbase will never vanish as even u use the its banshe as an avatar :P
lol i just noticed that :P
err what? its primitive 3d? i think its advanced 2d if u ask me, but anyway. i know, its fanbase will never vanish! :D C&C TS all the way :D
@Orange131326: imo, 2D bases dont look as good as they would look in a nice advanced 3D game
the 2d ones have got some kind of charm. more detailed graphics can make a game look better, but sometimes you experience games with their own unique style like metal slug for example.
just take a look at this Moddb.com not bad for a 2d game eh?
maybe its individual, i grew up with these, spending endless nights in aoe1 or simcity3000. now i look at aoe3 and simcity4 and i just don't like them as much when i look at the game. the units, their movements, the architecture. its all good but just not pleasing me as much as the others do.
they do actually :D, but in an age of 3D graphics 2D games dont get the attention they deseve.
woah, that is awesome! 2D games if done right make any 3D game look like trash
thats what i say too, i grew up with PS1, MGS and Pac-man (i sucked a lot in MGS) only if we could get some games like AoE, TS, TD, RA, MGS and many other in advanced 3D graphics they would pwn any new 3D game onehanded

The Siple Dome Glaciology and Ice Stream History project was part of Western Divide West Antarctic Ice Cores (WAISCORES), an NSF-funded project to understand the influence of the West Antarctic ice sheet on climate and sea level change. WAISCORES researchers acquired and analyzed ice cores from the Siple Dome, in the Siple Coast region, West Antarctica.This project supported glaciological studies of Siple Dome and its surroundings between Ice Streams C and D, via two major goals. First, it sought to characterize the dynamic environment and ice stratigraphy of Siple Dome and its surroundings, with the specific mission of assessing Siple Dome as a potential deep core site; and second, to determine whether the configuration of ice stream flow in the region has changed over time. Both goals are relevant to understanding the dynamics of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS), its history, and potential future behavior.This project was a collaboration between Saint Olaf College, the University of Washington, and the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado. It included studies of satellite imagery and acquisition and analysis of field data from GPS, firn cores and snow pits, and ground-based ice-penetrating radar.Data in this collection were obtained during two Antarctic field seasons in 199495 and 199697. The data set is available via FTP as Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet (.xls) and ASCII tab delimited (.txt) files. Related notes are available as a Microsoft Word (.doc) or text (.txt) file.

In all fairness, Purina has been stepping up their game lately.
By Len SnodgrassLen Snodgrass here. When I recently informed ScreenJunkies that my love of television rivals my love of MMORPGs they requested I generate a commentary on this summer's upcoming reality program offerings. I weighed the toll this assignment would take on my actual viewing of television, and ultimately decided the minimal rate I'd be receiving for my contribution would suffice to fund my Xbox Live subscription. I dove right in to my research and emerged with ten unscripted shows that should keep your interest through the summer season. Some of them are on simultaneously, so be sure to get your DVRs properly configured.

Video conferencing is an important technology to have in any corporate business. It is the preferred method of communication in the absence of physical proximity due to the ability it provides to read client and coworkers nonverbal clues.
In the well-known study, "7-38-55," Dr. Albert Mehrabian suggests that only 7 percent of communication is through spoken word. He goes on to suggest that 38 percent is tone of voice and 55 percent is received from body language such as nodding heads, crossed arms, raised eyebrows and posture.
In many lines of work video conferencing has overtaken conference calls and email chains because of the visual aspect provided by the technology. Meetings held through equipment provided by companies like MegaMeeting help to reveal understandings, agreements and improve the integrity of meetings with clients and business partners.
Video conferencing equipment can range in price and service from smaller, office sized projections to event-based broadcasting equipment. Companies that utilize video conferencing technology save money on travel expenses. Although video conferencing does not completely eliminate traveling to meet clients, it does reduce travel in many situations that do not have lasting impact on a business' future, such as interviews and company-wide updates.

Prep volleyball: Seacrest falls to Sentinels in 3A-Region 2
FORT MYERS - Seacrest's first-year coach Jolana Fowler was beaming when it was over.
Sure, the Stingrays ran into an old nemesis at Evangelical Christian on Tuesday night. And it turned out to be a Class 3A-Region 2 semifinal roadblock.
But District 11 runner-up Seacrest almost broke through, battling almost kill for kill before falling, 25-19, 24-26, 25-10, 25-23, against the District 11 champion Sentinels, a longtime local power.
"That's some great stuff," Fowler said. "I've said it all year, I have a 5-4 team. I don't have middle blockers. So to be able to compete against ECS and take a set from them and even be winning long points and being so close, that is nothing to be ashamed of. ECS is stacked.
"We do what we can with what we have and it worked for us all season."
Evangelical (25-4) advanced to Saturday's regional finals.
Seacrest ended its season that included its first-ever regional win — a 3-0 victory against Benjamin on Halloween — at 22-8.
Valerie Gonzalez had 21 kills for Seacrest and freshman Emily Hancock had 14 as the Stingrays totaled 37.
The first set was nip-and-tuck until Evangelical made a late surge in a set that Ferguson dominated. She finished it with her ninth kill of the set.
The second set had the rowdy crowd — including lots of Seacrest fans — on its feet thanks to long rallies and sharply punched kills. A Hancock kill and block gave Seacrest a 16-13 lead. Two Hancock dinks made it 18-16. A Gonzalez kill gave the Stingrays a 22-21 lead and another made it 25-24. Ferguson was long on a kill attempt, giving Seacrest the 26-24 win.
Things went south for the Stingrays in the third set. Seacrest seemed a bit disoriented and the Sentinels rolled to the 25-10 win.
Set 4 was another crowd-pleaser. Evangelical bolted to a 9-6 lead but a pair of Gonzalez kills gave Seacrest a 14-11 advantage. The lead ballooned to 19-12 on a Hancock kill.
But the Sentinels charged right back, gathering momentum after a timeout by coach Liz Ferguson. Sydney Ferguson's ace brought Evangelical within 22-20 and a kill by Shelby Joslin, who had 16 on the night, pushed the Sentinels up 24-22. A Hancock kill closed to 24-23 but Ginny Moore's 10th kill ended it.
"They deserve to go on," Fowler said. "These are two very, very talented teams."

I recently took a gander at my sister's shoes and they were in terrible shape. The uppers only had minor scuffs but the heels were absolutely mangled and I wondered how she could ever walk in them around the linoleum floors of her classroom (she's a middle school teacher, by the way) all day long.
So for my sister, I've researched how to replace those damaged heel tips to enable smooth comfort again. I hope this helps you as much as it's helped her!
