On a day of drama on stage 12, Sky's Edvald Boasson Hagen, one of Tour leader Chris Froome's key wingmen, was injured in a bad crash and is out of the race, while Mark Cavendish suffered his second straight defeat in a bunch sprint stage.
Three of Sky's riders, former Tour stage winner Boasson Hagen, Geraint Thomas – who had slightly fractured his pelvis on stage one, but was able to continue – and Richie Porte were all caught up in the mass crash 2.5 kilometres from the line at Tours.
Boasson Hagen came off worst, clutching his shoulder as he crossed the line in a gesture typical of riders when they have broken bones. Sky later confirmed he had fractured his scapula. The Norwegian is the second of Sky's line-up to leave the race early, after Vasil Kiryienka was forced to abandon on Sunday's Pyrenean marathon after finishing outside the time limit.
For Sky the loss of Boasson Hagen means the exit of one of their most experienced and consistent Grand Tour performers. He is the only one to have taken part in every Tour de France since 2010, winning two stages in 2011.
Team Principal, Sir Dave Brailsford, added: "It's never nice to lose a rider of Edvald's ability, but ultimately we're still confident that with the riders we've got left we can pull together and see the race through. The plan doesn't change and we will do everything we can to support Chris [Froome]."
While Sky were left ruing the consequences of the late crash in Tours, Cavendish was forced to recognise that he had been fairly and squarely beaten in another bunch sprint. The Briton was ill in the first week and on Tuesday at Saint-Malo's finale was involved in a glancing collision with Dutchman Tom Veelers, which could have had a knock-on effect.
Today, though, there were no such issues to cramp his style: Cavendish was faultlessly guided through to the final metres by his Omega Pharma-Quick Step squad, and with 200 metres to go looked to be in perfect position for a trademark victory blast towards the line.
And blast away Cavendish did, but the 28-year-old could not stop German Marcel Kittel from soaring up on his left-hand side and then out-powering him by half a wheel.
"I got beaten by a faster guy," said Cavendish, who named Kittel as "the next superstar sprinter".
"When you get beaten like that you can look at it over and over again, but I'm just disappointed that I let down my team-mates. At the end of the day I didn't do anything wrong. I was beaten and that was it. You can analyse it but if he's faster there's nothing you can do."
Cavendish now has just two opportunities to take his 25th Tour de France stage: tomorrow and on the Champs Élysées, where he has been unbeaten since his first victory there in 2009. Asked if he was the new King of the Sprints, Kittel played down defeating the Manxman.
"I don't use that word to describe my success, but I showed I can beat the best sprinters," he said.
Meanwhile, the after-effects of Cavendish's high-speed collision with Veelers rumble on: after being dowsed with urine by a spectator on Wednesday, today a Dutch race organiser of a criterium in Boxmeer said he was taking the Briton off his invitation list.
"We have decided he is not welcome. The reason is the way he treated Tom Veelers. We are not going to ask him for sure," Pierre Hermans said.
The ban was widely viewed as being a publicity stunt by the organiser.
"I don't think I've had an invite anyway," Cavendish said, "so I wish them luck with the criterium."

Pac-Man and Galaga Dimensions
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Pac-Man and Galaga Dimensions is a 3D version of the two classic arcade games listed in the title. In addition to remastering the original games in a 3D presentation, these games have been remastered to reflect modern-day graphics and processing power. The Galaga games involve shooting down enemy creatures but the violence has little impact because of the abstract visual style.

What's it about?
PAC-MAN AND GALAGA DIMENSIONS brings two of the most heralded arcade games of all time in 3D for the first time. In Pac-Man, players move a yellow circle-shaped character through labyrinth-like mazes in order to collect all the dots within each maze. In Galaga, players pilot a tiny spaceship that must shoot down even tinier creatures and objects, all of which are aligned in perfect, orderly columns. The games are all about repeating simple controls over and over to achieve the highest score possible, but because of the accessible gameplay and the addicting feeling that it's always possible to do better next time, players can spend hours without getting bored.
Is it any good?
Pac-Man and Galaga Dimensions is a faithful recreation of the classic arcade titles Pac-Man and Galaga. Although these iconic games have been remade and re-released countless times over the years, this is the first time they have been made in 3D. The new visual style adds excitement and a new vibe to the experience, which is augmented by the completely remade versions of each title as well. The concepts are simple, but the always looming quest for a higher score means they never get old, and it's hard to find two games that fit that mold better than the ones in this compilation.

Fragment: Sextus liber decretalium (Bologna or Padua)
Date: c. 1320-1330?
Found in: Bologna (Italy). Statutorum inclytae civitatis … Bononiae, vol. 2. Bologna: Giovanni Rossi, 1569.
Pope Boniface VIII (1294-1303) held a doctorate in canon and civil law and, like Gregory IX seventy years earlier, sought to update and expand the body of canon law jurisprudence. He did so by commissioning a new collection of decretals, which he sent to the universities in 1298 with instructions that it be incorporated into the canon law curriculum. The Sextus liber decretalium (the Sixth Book of Decretals, often simply called the Liber sextus) thus took its place beside the Decretum and the Decretales Gregorii IX as a core element of the Corpus iuris canonici. The standard gloss of the Liber sextus was written by Giovanni d'Andrea in the early 1300s.
In the fragment of the Liber sextus seen here (from Book 5, Title 2, Chapter 20) Boniface himself discusses techniques for questioning suspected heretics. Giovanni d'Andrea's gloss surrounds the main text. The manuscript was probably copied in Bologna as the script is characteristic of Bolognese gothic book hands.
– Notes by Benjamin Yousey-Hindes, Stanford University
POSTSCRIPT: Richard Rouse (UCLA) assigns an Italian origin to the manuscript and calls attention to the line fillers, which look like exclamation points. Susan L'Engle (Saint Louis University) believes the manuscript is from Bologna or Padua, 1320-1330?, and notes the "Italian script, text keyed to gloss by letters of alphabet, an Italian practice."
Larger versions of this and other images are available from the Medieval binding fragments gallery of the Rare Book Collection's Flickr site. If you can provide additional information about the manuscript fragment displayed here, you are invited to send an email to .
"Reused, Rebound, Recovered: Medieval Manuscript Fragments in Law Book Bindings" is curated by Benjamin Yousey-Hindes and Mike Widener, and is on display through May 2010 in the Rare Book Exhibition Gallery, Level L2, Lillian Goldman Law Library, Yale Law School.
Fragment: Epistolary (Northern France)
Date: c. 1175-1250
Found in: Bartolomeo, da Brescia. Casus Decretorum. Basel: Nicolaus Kessler, 1489.
The parchment used here as a pastedown comes from an epistolary and shows the epistle readings for two Masses. The first reading is 1 Peter 1:1-7, which was for the feast of the Chair of Saint Peter in Antioch (Cathedra Sancti Petri in Antiochia) on February 22. Originally this feast, commemorating Saint Peter as the first bishop of Antioch, was probably a Christianization of the ancient Roman holiday known as Caristia, when families gathered together to honor the dead and settle feuds. The second column features part of the reading for the feast of Saint Mathias the Apostle on February 24 (Acts 1:15-26). Note the red and blue pen-flourished initials used to mark the beginnings of the readings.
POSTSCRIPT: Thanks to Richard Rouse (UCLA) for clarifying the origin of the manuscript fragment.
Fragment: Maimonides's Mishneh Torah / Vidal of Tolosa's Maggid MishnehDate: c. 1300-1500Found in: Milan (Duchy). Constitutiones dominii mediolanensis. Novara: Francesco Sesalli, 1567.
Between 1170 and 1180 the famous rabbi, physician, and philosopher Moses Maimonides (d. 1204) compiled a comprehensive compendium of Jewish law (halakha) that he named the Mishneh Torah. While many people opposed the Mishneh Torah when it first circulated, Maimonides defended it as a necessary distillation of existing legal reasoning into a practical code. Regardless of the attacks, the Mishneh Torah rapidly became one of the core texts within Jewish law.
Binyamin Elizur, Head of the Department of Ancient Hebrew at the Academy of the Hebrew Language in Jerusalem, informs us that the small text on the left of the leaf comes from Maimonides's Mishneh Torah. The portion visible here is from the section on "Financial Damages" (Nizke Mammon), chapter 1, subsection 9. The larger writing to the right is the corresponding passage from the Maggid Mishneh, an exegetical commentary on the Mishneh Torah written by the Catalan rabbi Vidal of Tolosa (1283-1360). According to Elizur, the noteworthy and unusual thing about this fragment is that Vidal's commentary is written in large letters, while Maimonides's text is written in small letters on the side. He speculates that the leaf may have originally contained only the commentary, and that passages from the Mishneh Torah were added in the margin later. He notes that the script, both large and small, appears to be Sephardic semi-cursive from the 14th or 15th century.
Dr. Ezra Chwat of the Department of Manuscripts, National Library of Israel, notes that the publication date of the host volume, 1567, "is precisely on the spike of redeployment of Jewish manuscripts" as they were confiscated by the Inquisition in Italy; see Mauro Perani & Enrica Sagradini, Talmudic and midrashic fragments from the Italian Genizah: reunification of the manuscripts and catalogue (Firenze: Giuntina, 2004), pp. 124-125.
Dr. Chwat has added this fragment to the online catalog of Hebrew manuscripts maintained by the Department of Manuscripts, National Library of Israel; the record (in Hebrew) can be viewed here.

Fragment: Unknown
Date: c.1475-1525
Found in: Caccialupi, Giovanni Battista. De pesionibus tractatus uere aureus. Rome: F. Minizio Calvo, 1531.
The vast majority of medieval manuscript fragments found in the Law Library's bindings are in Latin, but not all of them. In addition to the two Hebrew fragments elsewhere in this exhibit, there is a large, later fragment in what appears to be a form of German, and two very late fragments in French. All three of these fragments are awaiting definitive identification. One of the French fragments (perhaps a deed of sale for a piece of property?) is seen here being used as a "wrapper," a means of protecting a printed text without applying a hard cover.
Fragment: Gradual (Italy)
Date: c. 1425-1525
Found in: Naples (Kingdom). Capitula regni una cum apparatu, ac utilissimis, et necessariis prioribus. [Campagna: Domenico Nibbio], 1561.
This cover is made from an Italian gradual and features part of the tract (tractus) from the Mass on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter. Tracts replaced the alleluia chants during Lent and other penitential times of the liturgical year. Early tracts consisted of verses from a single psalm, but this later example is based on Matthew 21:33. In its entirety, the tract reads, "Et maceriam circumdedit et circumfodit et plantavit vineam Soreth et hedificavit turrim in medio ejus." That is, "And he enclosed it with a wall, and surrounded it by a trench; then he planted a vineyard of Sorec grapes, and he built a tower in the middle of it."
While most of the manuscript fragments in this exhibit were recycled into bindings centuries ago, this one was probably used fairly recently, perhaps early in the 20th century (the Law Library acquired this volume in 1947). It was not uncommon for booksellers to use the large pages from manuscript graduals and other choir books to re-cover volumes as a way to make early books more attractive. In fact, some German monastic libraries had been doing the same thing since the 17th century.
POSTSCRIPT: Thanks to Richard Rouse (UCLA) for clarifying the origin of the manuscript fragment, and to William Mahrt (Stanford University) for the following: "The text is an Old Testament canticle (I think from Isaiah), Matthew is only quoting it. Tracts are Psalm texts, but for Holy Saturday, the pieces are on canticles (from other books of the O.T.); they are set to the same kind of melodies as mode-eight tracts of Lent, and so are sometimes called tracts, but are more properly called canticles. Their melodies are the simplest usage of the tract formulae, simpler than the other tracts. The incipit of the canticle is 'Vinea facta est'."

Fragment: Missal (France?)
Date: c. 1150-1225
Found in: La Pape, Guy de. Lectura subtilis et aurea … Guidonis Pape. [Lyons: for Simon Vincent?, 1517.]
The parchment cover for this 16th-century book is made from a medieval missal. The folio visible here contains the chants, prayers, and readings for celebrating Mass on the first Sunday after Easter, the Octava Paschae. The service opens with the introit (introitus), an antiphon sung as the priest approached the altar. Here the text is accompanied by neumes (early musical notes) that appear to be of the German or Saint Gallen variety. Next comes the collect (oratio), the prayer said before the Epistle reading, which here begins "Presta quaesumus omnipotens…" The Epistle reading is 1 John 5:4-10, and it is followed by the Gospel reading, which starts with John 20:24. Along the deteriorating spine of the book you may be able to see that additional manuscript fragments were used as linings.

I'm not blue across the board
This is a statement so those in power understand who might be willing to vote democrat in 2016. I have voted democrat in almost every election that I've been able to vote, but that's because I believed in who I was voting for - Hillary Clinton does not fall under these lines. Whether that means I vote third party, or write in Sanders, know that in sound mind and body, I cannot vote for Clinton to be the leader of the United States of America. A Trump presidency scares me, but a Clinton presidency isn't too far behind. It's not just a matter of being trustworthy (an issue you know she has within public perception), but her views on many issues do not seem right for this country and our future. If the "DNC is pushing for Hillary" conspiracy theories are true... then let this be a message from democrats, independents, and republicans that might decide to vote democrat this election - with absolute certainty, Clinton is not a viable option for our vote or America. She didn't get my vote in my primary, and she won't get it if she makes it to November.

The --disable-angle --enable-webgl build setting doesn't make sense (WebGL really needs ANGLE) and has been broken inadvertently in bug 760323 (It's not tested). It's a better idea to just have a single --enable-webgl option (which is tested, as Thunderbird builds with WebGL disabled).
The only problem is I just realized that WebRTC has started to depend on d3dx9 which is a DLL that we only ship if ANGLE (i.e. if WebGL) is enabled.
-> WebRTC team, plz warn me next time!
So with this change, WebGL will become a build-time dependency for WebRTC, which IMO is quite OK since the code size increase from enabling WebGL is very small compared to the code size of that d3dx9 DLL anyway (2M). Also, we have a definite plan to stop shipping that DLL in the ANGLE makefiles (bug 741742) so if WebRTC wants to still use them, it will have to carry over the build-system work that we do currently for ANGLE (see configure.in and gfx/angle/Makefile.in). Anyway, it shouldn't block us from doing what makes the most sense for the build-system around WebGL.
Also, WebRTC: if you're using d3dx9, you'll run into exactly the same issue as bug 760323 with the WebRT apps and you'll have to preload this library manually for it to be found by WebRT apps.
In fact the bustage in 760323 was not about --disable-angle, it was about --disable-webgl. But I still think that we should do that.
Turns out that there is *no* --disable-webgl option! That's what we want to fix here.

Created attachment 640762 [details] [diff] [review]

This new version replaces MOZ_ANGLE by MOZ_ANGLE_RENDERER in remaining places.
(Indeed MOZ_ANGLE was poorly named since it only controls whether we want the GLES-ON-D3D stuff)
Created attachment 640766 [details] [diff] [review]
add --disable-webgl, remove --disable-angle, clean up configure.in
Updated the error messages to stop pointing people to the now-removed --disable-angle option.
So, what is left for us to do for WebRTC? (Not knowing the interactions between GL, ANGLE, and dx*.) If we need to pref something on by default if webrtc is prefed on, or pref off WEBRTC, or warn that they should be, let me know.
WebRTC may not need the dx9 renderer in the long term, as we'll be rendering to 'external' source (i.e. passing decoded data to a MediaStream that feeds to a <video> element). The code has internal renderers so it can run stand-alone as well.
Most importantly you should evaluate whether you really need d3dx9.
If you really need d3dx9:
- either you declare officially that WebGL is a build-time dependency for WebRTC i.e. --disable-webgl should also disable WebRTC at build time;
- or you edit the build system so that we ship d3dx9_??.dll as long as WebRTC is enabled at build-time. Currently, we only ship it if WebGL is enabled at build time, which is the default, but can be disabled by --disable-webgl. By "currently" I mean "with my patches here".
If you do not really need d3dx9, remove the #include at http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/media/webrtc/trunk/src/modules/video_render/main/source/windows/video_render_direct3d9.h and then you don't have anything to worry about.

Walking in the midnight's day,
I find myself lost in gaze.
Looking at the trees so bold,
Shadowed branches oh so old.
Withered and broken art thou so,
No longer do thy new leafs grow,
Neither do thy robins play,
Holding by thy winds they sway.
Lost are the days of strength and grace.
Untouched by wrinkles on thy face,
How they wish to bear again,
Before thy veins damped; now drained.
Fragile old but wisdom souls,
Seen days of pain and days of whole,
Watched nights turn into thy days,
Storms a blow but they remain.
Have sung in morning's merciful water,
Have danced in heats wrathful slaughter,
Witnessed branch-lings take control,
Provided life and helped to mold.
Thy roots entangled in thy ground,
Thy Knowledge giving is profound,
Standing tall against it all.
Growing weak, they still not fall.
Their olden branches, do turn gray,
Only a beacon: "come, listen," they say.

First stanza is riddled with awkward words chosen simply to maintain the rhyme scheme; second stanza's first line reads, "Withered and broken are thy so," when it should be "art thou"; third stanza's first line should probably be, "Lost ARE the days..." I guess I should stop. Anyways, this is a really interesting poem, I'd just say give it a read-through and fix anything that sounds off. Or have someone else do it. But this is a really good start!! I hope you revise it because it would be a shame to give up on a piece with such innate potential.
I appreciate your feed back! I have begun to revise the little items you have suggested, Thanks for reading !
Personally, I find the first stanza interesting. I imagine it as the author, or reader walking through a path in the woods. Here, the old trees begin to talk to the person. Thus continuing into the following stanzas, almost like a story being played out. Very well thought out poem! I also like the relation to the trees representing seniors, at least the way I interpreted it. Overall, I recommend a read!

Turned my heat on when I seen the flurries flying a couple of days ago.
Thankfully, it didn't accumulate. Supposed to go down to 28 tonight.
I have been tending to mom, who came home from rehab while juggling enough
time at work to keep things somewhat timely there. With spending all of my
time at mom's, my house, garden, etc have all been severely neglected here
since June when this whole thing started. I was hoping for a break, enjoy the
holidays and get caught up, but with her next surgery scheduled for January
6th, that isn't happening either.
I did finally spend a day with friends on Saturday, which was a nice break
from my current routine.

Finally turned the heat on. It was 56 in here when I got home tonight.
Since the upcoming days will only have mid40s for highs and little or no
sun, I thought I should go ahead and turn it on. I am trying to keep my
usage low as the forecast for gas for the home is not supposed to be that
good for this winter. I have winterized a bit. Half my house has new
windows, but the bedrooms still have the old windows. I've put 1-inch
R-5 insulation in those windows. I wonder though if, by blocking the sun
from those rooms (if & when it bothers to shine in January), does it reduce
the warmth it might get from the sun.

Direct to garment printing
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Direct to garment printing, also known as DTG printing, digital direct to garment printing, digital apparel printing, and inkjet to garment printing, is a process of printing on textiles and garments using specialized or modified inkjet technology. The two key requirements of a DTG printer are a transport mechanism for the garment and specialty inks (inkjet textile inks) that are applied to the textile directly and are absorbed by the fibers.
Most direct to garment printers are descendants of the desktop inkjet printer, therefore many DTG printers, such as the Spectra DTG, Anajet Sprint, and the BelQuette Mod1 utilize some parts from preexisting printers. Some companies, such as BelQuette, DTG Digital, AnaJet, Oprintjet, Brother, MAPI Digital, Kornit and Mimaki have printers which utilize similar technology, but are manufactured without the exact parts from any other brand machine.[1]
Financial impact[edit]
A primary advantage of DTG printing is the lack of set-up costs and instant turnaround time not associated with traditional garment printing methods such as screen printing. The comparative disadvantage of DTG is equipment maintenance and ink cost. Ink technology developments have significantly improved ink performance and lowered ink cost. Digital printing technologies are non-contact, meaning that media is printed on without hand contact, allowing for a more precise image. This prevents the image distortion that takes place in screen printing.[2]
DTG printing is now one of the main techniques utilized by online t-shirt printers to offer customers full color designs. Fulfillment printers like Print Aura and Tee Launch offer designers DTG printing solutions allowing them to sell their designs online through Big Commerce and Shopify. [3]

Ratings for Dr. Alan R. Singer
Trying to get more attention for him, that what he gives his patients
PATIENT BEWARE...... If you have no serious health condition you may be fine but God help you if you are depending on this guy to diagnosis a real problem. My mom is 84 and has been complaining of stomach pain. She had a CT Scan performed in June. The letter his office received reflected a n 11cmx11cm tumor and he never read the report. He also tried to convince my dad that mom's pain was "all in her head". AND, he convinced my parents that he could take care of my mother'er cardiology needs EVEN THOUGH HE IS NOT A CARDIOLOGIST. My mom had to go to the emergency room today and is now admitted until they can get her PTINR levels brought up from 6 to 2 or 3!! She is also scheduled for surgery to remove the huge sarcoma in her abdomen. I am convinced this Dr. prays on the elderly because they don't have access to technology to questions anything he says. He is definitely a power hungry guy. The Dr. who finally demanded my mom get an MRI for her tumor wanted to send her to Moffitt. Dr. Singer refused to allow my mom to go there. My parents will be changing Drs. but are afraid to do so until her surgery is completed because this guy has convinced them they can't get anything done unless he approves it. I am so angry with the situation I would like nothing more than to go see him and give him a piece of my mind. Hopefully, this information will help someone else. I will be calling Humana after my mother gets the care she needs. They need to hear about this guy.
Dr. Alan Singer and his staff are amazing. I love animals and he brings his adorable bulldog to work. He is such a sweet dog and loves to greet everyone that comes thru the door. his staff is amazing they know me by my name every time without me signing in. I love Dr. Singer as my doctor I would recommend him to anyone he diagnosed me after going to five previous Dr. that never could figure out what was wrong with me. I can't say enough about this wonderful Doctor. I feel welcomed and at home every time I come into his office whether it is for a simple visit or a problem visit they always have time for me. they also call my medicine into pharmacy every time I call the same day. also if I ever have questions and want to speak to the dr. they will get him on the phone. what more can you ask for. I wish there were options of rating him with 100 stars because him and his staff deserve it.
Dr. Alan Singer is one of the best doctors I have had. And I have a chronic illness for my entire life, having lots of doctors. He is smart, caring, and great to his patients and staff. I highly recommend him to other patients seeking a Doctor
Good if you want your hand held with a smile. Bad for an accurate diagnosis if you really have anything serious.
Dr. Singer has been the best thing that can happen to our family. He has been the only Dr. that got my husband to quit smoking and got my husband back in good health. Why? Because we look forward to the next visit. Dr. Singer likes when I accompany my husband to his visits. He like the husband and wife visit so that we can work together with him and follow is recommendations fully. His staff is very friendly and know us by our first names which is wonderful. We do recommend him. His as the Best Dr. in town. If you are reading this we recommend you to try a visit because we are sure you will be coming back.
Would make a good used car salesman. He comes across overly confident. Spending time with patients is good. Could do without the bizarre behavior/mannerisms which lead to some patients feeling uncomfortable. Office staff seems unapologetic and withheld information that would have been important for patient and rest of family to know. Unknown if this was on purpose or the doctor just forgot because he was too busy entertaining. Not sure if doctor even read the records from the hospital. Family member suffered needlessly as a result as we would have made a different decision if we had known all of the facts. Doctor tries too hard to be liked instead of concentrating on the facts at hand. Was very disappointed and now less trusting of any medical professional. Once had a high opinion of this doctor and staff as we were fooled, but now not so much. He's very lucky we did not file a complaint. We have chalked this up to a foolish error on this doctor's part due to inexperience.
Dr Singer (& Staff) is exceptional in what he does & offers everyday. It is rare to find a doctor that cares about his patients & makes them feel they are under the best care. I would recommend this doctor to everyone & anyone I could. His staff is friendly and always willing to go above & beyond when needed. Dr Singer takes the time to listen, educate & provide suggestions to ensure you receive the best care possible. He makes you feel like you have known him for years & is very easy to talk to. I recommend you go to 1 visit and I guarantee you will want to go back. Exceptional, caring, & friendly doctors are hard to find. I found the only one in Tampa/Lutz/Land O Lakes/Wesley Chapel area and couldnt be happier. Thanks Dr Singer for all you do & for the great staff you have working with you.
A rare doctor. I have the utmost respect for this doctor since he put my health back in step. I feel better than I did 10 years ago, if not more. Without giving out my health history, for years I just felt stuck in slow motion. I had visited other doctors in the past with no improvement, so I figured I would just have to live that way. Dr. Singer is a flashback to the old small town doctors that people miss. His patience, understanding, and amusing quirkiness can be a life-saver when the patient is extraordinarily stressed. You really feel like he's on your side. Hopefully others will see why his patients rate him so high. This doctor really knows how to interact with his patients. Part of good health care is mental and keeping the patient in good spirits with a smile. He has also provided the best care to my elderly father. My -hard to please- father thinks the world of this doctor.

|Re: interest in minor contention issues?
|Fri, 06 Aug 2010 21:01:09 GMT
My main concern is that I'm not primarily interested in Cassandra at this point, I'm interested in my JDI project, and formal benchmarking of Cassandra on each item I find is probably more work than I want to put in at this time. If there's an easy benchmark that's already generally agreed upon, I'll be happy to run it first, but otherwise, I'm basically asking if the dev group is interested in reports that won't reach the threshold of having a demonstrated performance impact, or if those kinds of reports are generally just regarded as annoying.

A game about Drone warfare.
Online and Installation with Joseph DeLappe, Malath Abbas, Albert Elwin
A game about Drone warfare.
Online and Installation with Joseph DeLappe, Malath Abbas, Albert Elwin
Killbox is an online game and interactive installation that critically explores the nature of drone warfare, its complexities and consequences. It is an experience which explores the use of technology to transform and extend political and military power, and the abstraction of killing through virtualisation.
Killbox involves audiences in a fictionalized interactive experience in virtual environments based on documented drones strikes in Northern Pakistan.
The work is an international collaboration between U.S. based artist/activist, Joseph DeLappe and Scotland-based artists and game developers, Malath Abbas, Tom Demajo and Albert Elwin.

Composition and Sound Design with National Theatre of Scotland
Glasgow Commonwealth Games 2014
"There was once a wide, windswept place, near nowhere and close to forgotten that was filled with all the things that no one wanted..."
The story of the Tin Forest by Helen Ward, is about the creative transformation of a post industrial environment into a thriving forest, beautifully illustrated by Wayne Anderson. In summer 2014, events were held all over Glasgow city in celebration of its hosting of the commonwealth games. National Theatre Scotland worked with communities across the city on projects which acknowledged Glasgows industrial heritage and embraced its creative present. The Story of the Tin Forest was used as an allegory of this transformative process, and became the basis for these community projects and events all over Glasgow.
Work with National Theatre Scotland on a number of projects for their events in Springburn, North Glasgow: Sound design and musical score for the light up event at the park, location based sound design and composition for the promenade theatre in the beautiful but unkempt Victorian flower gardens, and several sound pieces to accompany videos at the the Puppet show Finale at the Rotunda.
The Springburn Lightshow was a giant piece of immersive and participatory theatre involving huge numbers of local families who had contributed to the work. Lighting, projections, animations, sound all supported the evenings performance by local children.

Using interactive sound, the sensors on your phone and your location, Other distorts your perception of reality as you embark on an adventure which discover buried secrets and lost stories, to reveal an other Dundee.
You play you. The environment is the real world. But in Other the stability and and your preconceptions of the real world and your place in it are challenged. Meanings change, new realities become possible. The game is made from- and played among- the architectural, cultural, sonic and historic fabric of the City.
Combining elements of theatre, traditional storytelling, alternative reality gaming, computer game mechanics and interactive sound, Other is an amazing and unique experience.
Other was made through a unique partnership with the National Theatre of Scotland, and Dundee-based writers, historians, musicians, actors, workers and singers, and was a finalist at IndieCade International Festival of Independent Games

Digitalia Festival, Poland
Commission for Digitalia Art Festival 2014- Techno Body. Preservation Process was an investigation into a continuing relationship between technology and the human body after life. Preserving the human body in death raises opportunities to learn ways to heal the living body. The Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification in Dundee is pioneering an almost industrial scale thiel preservation process. Thiel preserved bodies retain life-like flexibility and delicate tissue making them a more realistic model for training in surgical, diagnostic and interventional procedures than the traditional formaldehyde process. The facility at CAHI has 11 tanks which can submerge 44 bodies at any one time, and rack space for around 100.
Sounds of the spaces, machines, and processes involved in these techniques were recorded at CAHI, then combined and turned into a sound installation for Digitalia Festival. Each area had a distinct environmental drone defined by its air conditioning system. The objects in each area were like different species of animal built for purpose for each stage of the process. I used a combination of the built-in microphones of my portable PCM D-50, and a contact mic used for the tanks.
In the physical installation, each part of the process is given its own space using four pairs of speakers set along the wall. Each pair plays in sequence, taking the audience through the process from body arrival, called the Threshold, through preparation and embalming, storage tanks, and finally to dissection and recycling.

Vice President Joe BidenJoe BidenTop union offers backing for Ellison in DNC race John Kerry to teach at Yale on global issues Ellison needles Perez for 'unverifiable' claim of DNC support MORE and Sen. Ted CruzTed CruzTrump to interview four candidates for national security adviser Milo Yiannopoulos to speak at CPAC Reports: Petraeus off the list, Trump down to three candidates to replace Flynn MORE (R-Texas) headlined dueling fundraisers just two miles apart Friday night in South Carolina, in what could be an early preview of the 2016 race for the White House.
"[Rep.] Jim [Clyburn] called me and asked me if I'd be willing to do this, and I said, 'Jim, you know I love going to South Carolina, but as soon as I show up in South Carolina, there will be Washington press coming down, saying is Biden getting ready?'" Biden said. "I've got to make clear: I would go anywhere Jim asked me to go."
Presidential hopefuls frequently make visits early and often to states like South Carolina, Iowa, and New Hampshire that vote early in the presidential primaries, giving them outsized influence on the nominating process. But aside from his brief acknowledgment of the speculation, Biden stuck to praising Colbert Busch and providing red meat for Democratic donors.
"It's particularly good to be back in South Carolina, knowing you're about to get another Democratic congressional seat in the First District," Biden said. "All you had to do was watch that debate to understand why Elizabeth is going to make such a great congresswoman. They ain't seen nothing yet."
He also blasted Republicans for an economic policy he argued only benefited the very wealthy.
"One of the things that bothers me most about the new Republican party is how down on America they are, how down on our prospects they are, how they talk about how we're getting clobbered, how they talk about things that have no relationship to reality, all in the name of making sure that the very few at the top do very well," Biden said.
Down the road, Cruz returned fire, taking a shot at Biden's reputation for gaffes.
"So Vice President Joe Biden's in town," he said. "You know the great thing is, you don't even need a punch line. You just say that and people laugh."
Earlier this week, the National Review reported that the freshman senator was weighing a 2016 presidential bid at the urging of grassroots supporters in the party. But in a post to his Facebook account, Cruz said his focus remained on the Senate.
"It is a continued source of amazement that the simple fact that I am working hard with like-minded Senators to keep my promise is seen as newsworthy and cause for wild speculation," Cruz wrote.
But Cruz's attendance at the dinner — and request that supporters share their contact information with his political action committee via text message — will only add fuel to that fire.
In his speech, Cruz declared that "our freedom is in jeopardy in this country" and accused the Obama administration of recognizing "no limits on its powers." He also told the party faithful they should not be "demoralized" by last year's election, noting that it was less than a decade ago that Republicans controlled both chambers of Congress and the White House.
"Things can change quickly," Cruz said. "I believe change will come quickly."

Our first two doe kids, enjoying playing with the sheep.
The more time I spend around animals the more I feel like I ultimately learn about myself. We want to use opposable thumbs and verbal language to draw dividing lines between us and them, but lines in the sand always get blurry after the tide.
I have a goat named Saffron, she is an Alpine/Nigerian Dwarf cross, small, lithe and beautiful. Groups of goats have a herd queen, an individual that makes the decisions for the others: when to eat, when to sleep, when to move on. Saffron's royal duties have lead her into climbing the highest, and taking the biggest risks. She rules with an iron hoof.
Last autumn , as the leaves fell, the grass shriveled and the hay feeders were brought out, Saffron decided she wasn't going to eat with the plebeians. She was going to eat inside the feeder, where she could shit on everyone else's food. The feeder is about a foot wide, and she would glide inside it like a dove, landing softly and gracefully. A few lambs occasionally tried to emulate her but could never jump high enough, and always bounced off the sides of the feeder, dejected.
One morning we found Saffron limping around the inside pen. She had jumped out of the hay feeder incorrectly, caught her leg, and broken her third and fourth metatarsal bones cleanly and completely. When we caught her and I ran my hands delicately down her leg she screamed as I realized the only thing holding her lower leg together was muscle and skin. The vet splinted the bone later that day and advised Saffron be kept in a very small area to heal.
She did heal, and she came out of her confinement slightly unsteady, biding her time until she had the strength to take back what was hers.
And take it back she did. During the growing season Saffron would sneak under the fence with her suitors. I'd hold the door open for her to come back in to the proper pen and she would give me a contemptuous smirk. The queen does what she wants.
Now its winter again, and Saffron is back to jumping in the feeders. Broken bones, and all the memories of a goat can't seem to keep her out out of the hay. We put a board across the top of the feeder, and she now jumps up on top of that, balancing on it, to dip her serene neck down to eat.She will balance on three legs, and scratch her neck with her back leg, all the while looking me in the eye and saying without words, "The heart wants, what the heart wants."
Sometimes she pushes her way down below the board, into the depth of the feeder. She is pregnant, and with the new board she can't get out on her own. She waits quietly, head held high, till I come by and pull her out, while she squirms and screams at the indignity of needing help from anyone at all. But I am gentle, always. Because I get it. The heart wants what the heart wants.

Fall is here, the last hurrah before the Midwest winter buries us in snow and makes the residents of this frosty land question if continuing to live here is an erosion of our sanity. The crisp air makes everything feel fresh and eager, when in fact the natural world is battening down the hatches, preparing for the winter that not everyone will see the other side of. Fall is a death, and a prep for rebirth. A threat, and a promise.
After my parents got divorced we lived in an apartment, and then we moved to the house on Jonathan Ave, where my youngest sister and my mom still live. My sister was six when we moved. We met Peta a few days after we moved in. She was playing at the park down the street with her uncle Steve. Peta was five.
Peta spent a lot of time at our house. A LOT OF TIME. She went everywhere with us, and I felt like she was my sister. She was tall and blonde, like mom, and when we were out, people thought Peta was her daughter, instead of us. She loved Harry Potter, and animals and was a sweet and gentle girl, not afraid to be quirky, with a quiet, bright smile.
She died last week on Tuesday. The funeral was yesterday.
We released balloons into the air and we watched them float out of view, and then we watched a little longer because we didn't know what else to do. When people stopped saying, "I can still see one." we just drifted away too.
I came home and found Calypso's seven baby piglets she started birthing around the time we were letting balloons go. Dizzy is in the stall next to her with her 8 piglets and Penelope is growing fatter and fatter in the stall next to her waiting for her turn to farrow, which should be any time.
So much death, so much birth.
Life is just to fragile. Be kind to each other.

A New Direction With Chickens
Joel and I have been on the farm five years, and we have practically had chickens for the entire time we've been here. Over the first few years we tried Delawares, Buckeyes, Speckled Sussex, New Hampshire Reds, Silver Laced Wyandottes, Buff Orpingtons, Seabrights, Silkies, Cochins, Black Jersey Giants, Dominiques and Chanteclers. We liked different things about different breeds but the breed we were drawn back to time and again was the Delawares.
Using the check lists established by The Livestock Conservatory ( http://www.livestockconservancy.org/index.php/heritage/internal/chicken-manual) we selected our Delawares over the past years for meat and egg laying qualities. Over time we decided to keep only Delawares and Silkies.
Two months ago a fox visited the farm in the middle of the day and brazenly killed almost our entire flock. It was heartbreaking to lose all the work we had put into the breeding a line of Delawares to be effective meat and egg producers as well as profoundly upsetting to lose so many gentle friends in a single day.
Since then Joel and I have been trying to decide how to move forward. Re-establishing our line would be difficult if not impossible. Buying new chicks was a possibility but quality of chicks can vary so we might not get the greatest specimens. Buying older birds from other farms was a possibility but bio-security is an issue.
After mulling it over for a while we decided to go in a somewhat different direction. When we had initially started raising chickens we were incubating chicks each spring. We enjoyed this, but it never came together or was as lucrative as we may have hoped. In part, this was due to our inability to sex chicks at hatch like the big hatcheries do. Sexing chicks is difficult and employees that work for the hatchery sexing chicks are trained to do so. Many farmers wanted only pullets (young females), and did not want to deal with the hassle of using excess males for meat production.
Although we loved our Delawares, and we still believe the breed is a great one we placed an order for the following birds which arrived this morning three weeks ago and are being cared for by our silkie, Michelle. Michelle went broody a few weeks before the chicks came in the mail. We put ping pong balls under her so she would keep sitting. The chicks came early in the morning and we snuck them under her. She immediately started making happy mother hen noises.
6 Barred Rock pullets
6 Cuckoo Maran pullets
6 White Rock pullets
14 Delaware straight run
10 New Hampshire Red cockerels
10 Buckeye cockerels
Red cocks can be mated to white hens and the offspring are white if they are male and brown if they are female. Red cocks can also be bred to barred females and the offspring can be told apart by spotting on their head. Being able to tell which chickens are female and which are male from the get go will be helpful.
We also had a Delaware go broody so we ordered some silkies and Naked Necks for her. The Naked Necks are supposedly good dual purpose birds although I find them a little bit ugly. Joel says they will grow on me and they probably will.
And now you know why they are called NAKED NECK.

Wisconsin Sheep and Wool 2015
In 2011 Joel and I went to the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool festival. We had not lived on the farm for very long and only had poultry and rabbits at the time. We knew we wanted some bigger animals such as goats or sheep, but were unsure what breed would best suit our needs. At the festival we saw many different breeds of sheep, including the breed we would end up raising: Shetlands.
Its been four years since that festival and we have had three successful lambing seasons. I've come to love our breed very deeply, and try to improve upon the stock we currently own with each breeding season. We are breeding for polled rams, fine fleece, good confirmation, pleasant temperament, good mothering abilities and strong parasite resistance.
The 2015 Wisconsin Sheep and Wool festival started on Friday but I had a presentation in class so Joel and I were not able to attend the early activities. We loaded our sale sheep up Friday night, got to the fair grounds, unloaded the sale sheep and then loaded up up to sheep I bought from Becky of River Oaks Farm (she lives in MN and was kind enough to bring them for me to pick up.)
Here is Minnie, a moorit gulmoget.
And Gillian (Gilly for short) a moorit, gulmoget ewe lamb
Joel started to feel sick while we were loading up the new sheep so we hurried home as we knew we would have an early start the next day. That morning Joel felt even more sick. We managed to get our show sheep loaded up and brought them to the show. My dad met us at the show. Joel was feeling so ill he drove my dad's car home and my dad stayed on to help out. Our friends Cindy and Steve also came to help in and outside the ring so I wasn't alone. I don't know what I would have done without the three of them to help me! I am a lucky lady to have such wonderful friends and family!
The order of classes in the show is senior ram, yearling ram, ram lamb, pair of ram lambs, champion ram, senior ewe, yearling ewe, ewe lamb, pair of ewe lambs, and then some other classes such as best fleece on the hoof, best small flock, dam and daughter and then the very last class that decides Supreme Champion and Reserve Supreme Champion.
Our first class was yearling ram and I had Bruce. Bruce was excellent on the halter and walked at my side like a gentlemen. It was a small class with only two other rams in it, both of whom are stunning. I was feeling very intimidated, and I almost choked when Gilbert Mielke, our Scottish judge, handed me the first place ribbon. He shook my hand and I thought I was going to faint.
(yearling ram class photo by Garrett Ramsay)
Next up was the ram lamb class. We only had a few ram lambs this last season and I brought our favorite, Washburne. I believe there was a class of about 12-15 ram lambs and Wash got fourth place, earning him the chance to have his own breeding group this fall.
(Wash and I in the ram lamb class with Mike Bartles on the right. Photo by my dad, Martin Solis)
Then there was pair of ram lambs and I had a quick break to give Wash to Cindy and Steve and grab Bruce again to compete for Champion ram. In champion ram the senior ram winner, yearling ram winner and ram lamb winner go back in the ring to compete against each other. Bruce won again, earning him the chance to compete for supreme champion. We got a rosette! And a plaque! Our sheep have never even won a first place ribbon before so I was really over the moon and giddy at this point.
(My face is like WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING??? Bruce is cool as a cucumber. Photo: Garrett Ramsay)
Right after this class was senior ewe and Cindy grabbed Ostara and I grabbed Cleo and Steve got Bruce put away. Cleo got third place.
(Mike Bartles on the right in first place, Terri Mahlkuch in second place and Cleo and I in third. Photo: Martin Solis)
Cindy and I showed Gretel and Beatrice for yearling ewe and did not place. Bea almost head butted me in the face while I was holding her for the judge to examine her wool.
The next class was ewe lamb, we had planned on Joel being there so we brought 4 lambs. Steve and I got Echo and Osceola in the ring and they both went nuts, throwing themselves on the ground and really acting foolish. Mindy slipped her halter before getting in the ring and Cindy caught her but not in time to get her in the ring. In my dad's words, "good thing it isn't an obedience contest!" We didn't place in this class but Osceola and Echo did get second place pair of ewe lambs in the next class.
I believe the next class we were in was Best Fleece on the Hoof in which Bruce won second place. I took Raven to best colored, patterned or modified sheep and she didn't place.
After all the other classes were done they called the Champion ram (BRUCE!) and the Champion ewe, Sheltering Pines Salicional back into the ring. They told the reserve champion ram and ewe to be on stand by. Our judge looked at both Salicional and Bruce and then called the reserves back in. I thought for sure that meant we had not won. I was just excited we had made it so far! Salicional won Supreme Champion and Bruce was Reserve Champion. I was thrilled!
(Last class…Photo: Garrett Ramsay)
This is our third time showing at Wisconsin Sheep and Wool and I didn't anticipate this at all. I am so grateful to our judges who came all the way from Scotland to judge our show and share their knowledge of the sheep we all love so much. I am honored that a UK judge and inspector sees so much potential in Emancipation Bruce. Gilbert Meikle(our judge) said Bruce was, "A superb ram with excellent wool and very true to type." I could not possibly be more grateful. (Bruce might be a bit more grateful then I am when he finds out he is going to get so many more ewes this year).
One of the best things about the Jefferson show is seeing old friends, making new friends, and enjoying time with other people that love the same things. This photo is (almost) all of us. I had an absolute blast. I could not possibly ask to be friends with a funnier, weirder(in a good way), kinder group of people. Watching everyone support each other, and cheer each other on was a thing of beauty. I can't wait to see you all next year, and hopefully I will see some of you before that.

Why Every Farm Needs Goats Part 1
Joel and I have lived on our farm for five years. Before that when we were in the reading, researching and dreaming phase I was obsessed with dairy goats. Anyone that knows me even a tiny bit probably knows about my deep and unyielding love of cheese.
There is an often quoted saying attributed to Benjamin Franklin, " Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." In all reality this is a condensed version of a paragraph Ben wrote in a letter that was actually about wine. Personally, I think he was just to drunk to actually remember he was talking about cheese. Cheese is just delightful, and really does seem to be proof that at least dairy goats love us and want us to be happy.
So why, given my overpowering cheese lust did we wait five years to start milking goats? I knew I wanted to make cheese but I also knew our animals needed to be working to pay our bills. Wisconsin has some of the most draconian cheese laws and one can not simply build a commercial kitchen and start making cheese. So, I put the brakes on my dreams of goats.
Half of our 40 acre property is overgrown woods. The first few years we spent building pasture fences (a task that never ends) in the obvious pasture worthy parts of the farm. As our poultry, sheep and pig herds and flocks grew bigger we began to think seriously about the woods. Joel has been wanting to clean up and restore the woods to Oak savanna (as it historically was) since we moved in, but it's a huge project and it always seemed we had to many irons in the fire to get started on this important and time consuming project.
In 2014 we decided to get serious about restoring the woods. We knew we wanted to take out the invasives like Buckthorn and keep the trees with food value to livestock and wildlife such as oaks, bitternut hickory, shagbark hickory, black walnut, and mulberries. Some people don't like mulberries because they are not native, but their leaves are very high in protein, everything loves to eat their berries (myself included!) and they provide shade in the pastures, so they are quite welcome on our farm.
We started building the first one acre pasture in the woods. We bought five goats and in the spring of 2015 put those goats and pigs into the wooded pasture. It was pretty obvious in the first few weeks that we needed more goats. The best goats for brush clearing are wethers, (neutered males, does currently in milk can damage their udders on things like raspberry brambles, which goats love to eat).
I made my case to Joel, if we want/need more goats we should get some does currently in milk, then in a few months we could re-breed them, and by next spring we would have more wethers for the woods, and almost the whole time I would have delicious milk to be made into cheese.
So, that is what we did! In subsequent blog entries I will show how the goats are working for us by
1. Making milk (cheese, soap)
2. Clearing the woods of invasives without the use of pesticides, or poisons all the while feeding themselves and having a great time.
3. How the does in milk are helping with the weeds in the sheep pasture.
4. The differences between sheep and goats, why I love them both, and why we need them both.

Beer Braised Pork Hocks
Pork hocks are one of the most flavorful cuts. The hocks are the lower part of the legs, above the trotters. When buying a whole pig you will receive four hocks, and they are often whole with skin on, or sliced width wise (skin on or skin off). Some customers choose to have the hocks ground, or let them sit in their freeze for ever because they are not sure how to prepare them. This is a shame because the hocks are one of the most delicious cuts. Much like shanks in pastured lamb, pork hocks may be tough if cooked overly hot and fast. This toughness is because pastured animals actually use their legs for walking from place to place, unlike pork from CAFOs, however this is aldo what goves pastured hocks such a lovely flavor. Cooking hocks with liquid helps tenderize the meat and allows the flavor full rein to knock your socks off.
To make Beer Braised Pork Hocks a la Emancipation Acres you will need the following ingredients.
High heat cooking oil, I used sesame but any oil that can handle a high heat will do
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 garlic cloves, minced very fine
2 pork hocks, whole or sliced width wise
2 white onions, cut into rounds
4 potatoes, cut into rounds
1 large squash, I used a lemon squash but any squash should be fine. If you use a squash like lemon with large seeds in the center, cut it in half and scoop out the seeds, then cut into slices. Squash like yellow squash can be cut into rounds
2 apples, cored and quartered
2 cups dark beer, I used Capitol Amber
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Place the salt in a large bowl and rub the mixture on the pork hocks. If skin on pork hocks are being used score the skin with a knife and rub the mixture into the scores. A blend of spices could be added at this point as well, I didn't however as I like the flavor of the pork to be the center of attention.
Grease the roasting pan with the high heat oil. Make sure a high heat oil is used.
Peel the white onions and slice them into rounds. Place them evenly in the bottom of the roasting pan in an even layer. Place the hocks on top of the layer of onions and cook covered at 425 degrees F for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes take the baking pan out of the oven and place the quartered apples, sliced potatos and squash in an even layer around the hocks. Pour 1 cup of the beer over the hocks and cook for one hour at 325 degrees F.
The FDA recently lowered the safe temperature for pork from 160 degrees F to 140 degrees F. After an hour check the temperature of the hocks, and stir the veggies. I used sliced hocks and they were at 140 degrees F after an hour. If you are using skin on whole hocks they will likely take longer.
When the hocks are nearly done (130 degrees F or so, baste the hocks with the remaining cup of beer. Turn the oven up to 425 degrees F and heat covered for another ten minutes.
Remove the roasting pan from the oven and check that the hock temperature reads between 140-160 degrees F in the center of the meat.
If sliced hocks were used they can be placed on a plate with the veggies on the side. If whole hocks were used they can be carved on a cutting board, or just go wild with a knife and fork on your own plate.
Don't be afraid to chew the meat off the bones, that's half the fun!
Alternatively: after I made this I realized it would taste really good on top of rice, which would also be a good way to stretch the recipe to feed more people.

It is quite common to feel a little sore after pushing yourself harder than normal in a workout, and even more so after starting a new activity. This soreness can show up 24 to 48 hours after you have exercised, and can affect anybody no matter what their level of physical fitness.
However, this shouldn't put you off. The ache is entirely normal, shouldn't last for a long period of time and actually shows that your muscles are adapting to the stress of exercise and getting stronger.
What causes our muscles to hurt after exercise?
Our muscles ache after starting new exercise plans, changing our routines or simply working harder than normal as this causes microscopic damage to the muscle fibres. The stiffness or soreness is known as delayed onset muscle soreness, or DOMS.
Can DOMS happen to everybody?
Even people who have regularly exercised all their lives can experience DOMS, and this includes professional athletes. While DOMS can put off people who are unused to exercising, it is important to remember that the pain and discomfort will die down as your muscles adapt, and when they recover they will be stronger than before. This means that unless you push yourself harder again in the next session, the degree of DOMS you experience after subsequent sessions should soon subside.
What activities lead to DOMS?
Any kind or intensity of exercise you don't normally do can lead to DOMS, especially those exercises that contract your muscle while it lengthens. These are known as eccentric muscle contractions, and can include anything from walking down stairs to lowering weights.
How long does DOMS usually last for?
A typical time frame is between three and five days, with the pain occurring either one or two days after exercise. This pain can range between mild discomfort and a severe ache, but it is important not to confuse it with a pain that occurs while you are exercising. If the latter happens, you should stop your activity immediately.
Treatment for DOMS
DOMS does not have a simple way to treat it unfortunately, and nothing is 100% certain to be effective. You can treat some of the symptoms though with ice packs, massage, anti-inflammatory pain-killing drugs (such as aspirin), acupressure and by resting up.
You shouldn't need any professional medical advice to treat DOMS, but you should speak to a doctor if you experience heavy swelling, if the pain becomes significant or is still there after a few days.
Preventing the development of DOMS
You can avoid DOMS by taking a new activity slowly and steadily. By giving your muscles time to adapt to new tasks and movement, it should help limit the amount of soreness you experience.
Warming up and stretching is not generally effective in preventing DOMS, although both will reduce your chances of injuring yourself as you exercise, as well as improving how effective your work out is.
Should I keep exercising with DOMS?
Exercise may feel uncomfortable with DOMS, although you can continue to exercise if you wish - make sure you warm up thoroughly. It may disappear while you are exercising, but is likely to return after you have finished. However, if it does make exercising difficult, it is perhaps wise to stop the activity for a few days, or even try something different to allow your muscles time to recover.
Am I likely to keep getting DOMS?
As you exercise, your muscles are adapting to your new routine. This means that the next time you do the activity, your muscles will be more prepared, ensuring that there will be less tissue damage than before. The result of this is less soreness and a quicker recovery time.
