Brazen Man Tells Reporter She's Hot During Live Report [NSFW VIDEO]
The men of Los Angeles really need to hone their skills when it comes to picking up women.
After this clueless fellow asked out a reporter while she was covering a fire, we get this randy dude, who decides to drop an F-bomb on live TV while telling KTLA's Christina Pascucci just how fine she is.
Pascucci wasn't exactly flattered, what with the guy violating FCC rules with the cursing and all. Maybe next time he'll suit up and give her some flowers, first.

Mountain Bike Descending Switchbacks Line Choice
Mountain Bike Descending Switchbacks Line Choice by BetterRide Certified Coach Andy Winohradsky
Hi everybody! Coach Andy, here. I've put a few riding-tip videos together, hope you like them…
This video deals with proper line choice while descending switchbacks. What you'll see in the video is that it is very important to use the whole trail in order to put the bike in the correct spot (take the correct line) if you want to successfully descend tight switchbacks. This applies to all levels of riders. Very often I'll see "good" riders run into problems on switchbacks simply because their initial line selection was off. Sometimes this is a result of being in a hurry: trying to go fast without being patient enough to slow down and do things right; sometimes riders get lazy (this often happens when fatigue sets in); but more often than not, most riders simply don't understand the degree to which they need to get away from the main line, use the whole trail, and properly set up for an extremely sharp corner on a very steep (usually) section of trail.
Unfortunately, most riders are guilty of following the main line down the trail or the "people's line" as I jokingly refer to it in camps. The main line is usually the path of least resistance, however, most of the time it is the path of least resistance ONLY for what is immediately in front of us on the trail. It isn't formed by taking large chunks of trail, or what is further down the trail, into consideration. And, again unfortunately, this is how most riders see and ride the trail: looking for solutions for ten or twenty-foot sections of trail at a time instead of looking for solutions to sixty or even a hundred foot sections at a time. What's important is the point where you want to end up on the trail and finding a solution to get there, hence, setting up with the proper line at the beginning of the switchback (in this case) in order to get to where you need to be at the end of the switchback. Also, proper line choice, as it is addressed in the video, obviously only works if it is possibly to get the bike to that particular part of the trail. If there is an obstacle in the way that is unridable then you have to look for a different solution/different line (usually deviating as little as possible from the optimum line). However, the way most trails are built and maintained these days (for better or worse), this line choice is almost always possible in switchbacks.
As I state in the video, proper line choice is just one part of descending switchbacks that has to be done correctly in order to have success out there on the trail. Switchbacks are tough and require a rider to do everything almost perfectly in order to get down them in one piece. We spend about an hour on this topic in our full instruction camps and cover body position, weight placement, vision, line choice, braking, etc… all the aspects of riding, how they relate to descending switchbacks, and how they need to be applied to ensure success on these difficult trail features. Obviously, we can't give you that type/volume of information in a couple of minutes via the internet in a short video…
But, hope you do enjoy the video. Hope it helps you out… I'll have plenty more so check back soon!

With Thanksgiving looming, Silas and I have been reading a ton of books on the subject. Right off the bat, this went badly. He finally realized that people actually eat animals. That was a real bummer. It kind of sucks to have to teach your kid that this is something we have to just be chill about. We can't hate people because they eat animals because truly they are just following social norms. This seems wrong to tell him, but I did anyway. I have flashbacks of Shae telling everyone how awful they were for killing the little animals, he went through a stage of being the obnoxious militant vegan that we are all made out to be. Except he was 3 and people totally listened to him, but you know, still probably not a good look.
Silas is only 4, so I try to just steer the conversation to the fact that we are vegan so we do not eat animals and how awesome that is that we choose to be nice to them! And Tofurky is so yummy! All happy and positive and let's all just forget about the poor dead turkeys! (also feels wrong, but you know, it's as much as he needs for the comprehension he has at this point)
So then we stumbled upon the comedy genre of children's Thanksgiving stories which apparently means not eating turkeys. Hilarious idea, right! Ugh, whatever. These are more like dramatic stories with a heartwarming ending to us, so I'm happy. Turk and Runt was a good one about Turkeys who yearned to be the biggest and best so they would be "chosen" until they smart little brother, Runt, made them realize that people meant to kill & eat them. It wasn't graphic at all and Silas enjoyed cheering them on.
This led to me hunting down Shae's old copy of Dav Pilkey's Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving.
Again, this is a "wacky" tale meant as humor, and to that I roll my eyes. This book was introduced to us by Shae's kindergarten teacher in 2004. She did an entire unit on the book, then at the end, the kids went to the school's turkey lunch. Yeah, I don't know either. Shae was the only vegan in his super rural school, basically the only vegan in a sea of hunters. His teacher was by no means vegan, she just thought it was a cute book, but it meant a lot to Shae at the time. It showed him that other people think the way we do and that it's okay to buck the normal traditions in the name of compassion. We must have read this book thousands of times over the years. Shae went on to reading all of Dav Pilkey's other books and fell in love with him. He even dressed as Captain Underpants for character day at school in 2nd or 3rd grade. I'd like to post the picture, but you know, ruining his life and all that.
Of course, Silas dug it too. He was stoked to see the kids eating a vegetarian feast at the end with their turkey friends. We made turkeys afterwards and I asked him to fill in the blank afterwards from this lesson idea I found on pinterest. "Save a turkey, eat more ___________!". He cracked me up by saying, "Food! They should eat actual food!". YES. They totally should. Kids are kind of the best.
{Fun fact about Dav Pilkey: he wasn't vegetarian when he wrote this book, but he is vegan now!}
As for the meaning of Thanksgiving, I have a real problem with celebrating white dudes killing off Native Americans and stealing their land. I just teach that we are celebrating gratitude and respect for Native Americans. I love this book so hard. We've read it everyday for 2 weeks now. Silas can't get enough.
(Here's the reading rainbow episode. I just found this and I'm so excited to share it with the kids.)
Oh and of course, what Thanksgiving is complete without Charlie Brown? NONE. So, get on that. We like to do a toast and popcorn feast while watching!
Silas keeps begging for "SO MANY TURKEYS" so we've been crafting them like no mans business. Starting to look like a little sanctuary around here.

The online supermarket has signed an exclusive agreement to be the featured advertiser on Oliver's FoodTube, a new YouTube channel owned by the celebrity chef.
FoodTube will run an un-skippable ad for Ocado before each piece of content, in which Oliver and others provide cookery tutorials.
The ad, created by BD Network, aims to position Ocado as the UK's 'best kept secret', according to the company's director of marketing and grocery retail, Lawrence Hene.
The 30-second animated spot depicts a 'landscape of playful groceries', with a voice-over by actress Patsy Kensit inviting viewers to 'enter the world of Ocado.com'.
Oliver launched FoodTube on 21 January; at the time of going to press, the channel reportedly had 130,000 subscribers and had recorded 12.5m video views.
Last summer, Ocado teamed up with the Great British Chefs website to stream live video cooking tutorials on YouTube via Google+ Hangouts. The recipes were created specially for the 'Mealtime Masterclass'.

Loading time of a project has been significantly reduced: Projects saved from v2.1 and higher load fast whereas releases prior to 2.1 load slowly. The cache feature of Panotour v2.1 significantly increases productivity and reduces drastically the loading time of large Panotour project containing HD panoramas or Gigapixels. .....

That made no difference, I even deleted the cache file, but still not loading the large tour.Set a new temp directory into Edit > Preferences and reboot Panotour.
Is it better on Windows 7 after that ?

2011 USA Cycling elections delayed to allow for governance changes
Colorado Springs, Colo. (May 6, 2011) — The USA Cycling Board of Directors recently approved a revised organizational governance plan with the goal of ensuring the bylaws and operating principles of the company accurately reflect the current business models of the sport today and for the foreseeable future. The new governance structure is designed to clarify roles and responsibilities and eliminate ambiguity in the original documents created in 1995.
Due to the recently approved and ongoing governance changes, the previously published election calendar will be delayed until July 1 and compressed to ensure implementation of the new structure can begin with the 2011 election cycle.
Creation of Sport Committees
Under the revised governance structure, which was developed in concert by the USA Cycling board and staff over the past 16 months, the current five associations (USCF, NORBA, USPRO, BMXA and NCCA) will be replaced by seven sport committees: BMX, Collegiate, Cyclo-cross, Mountain Bike, Pro, Road, and Track.
These new sport committees will develop competition rules, nominate and elect representatives to the USA Cycling Board of Directors, and advise staff on issues relevant to their respective discipline. Under the new model, representation on all sport committees will be based on membership categories rather than by region. This structure will allow the stakeholders in our sport to have a more relevant and consistent voice in the development and growth of each specific discipline.
"We started down this path nearly four years ago," said Steve Johnson, CEO of USA Cycling, "and I think the board of directors and the trustees have done an absolutely remarkable job of reshaping the company to be more reflective of the current business trends in our sport as well as one that will be much more responsive to the needs of our various membership categories."
"Cycling in the United States is experiencing unprecedented growth and development across all of the major disciplines," said Bill Peterson, president of USA Cycling's Board of Directors. "The board of directors and staff have recognized the need to update the organization to keep up with this growth while continuing to recognize the importance of input from its members. These changes position us to move forward in an aggressive manner that will see us continue to deliver more value for members and more podiums on the world stage."
Most current association trustee boards will simply transition to sport committees with currently designated category representatives — i.e. event director, official, industry, team director, athlete, etc. — already in place. The USCF board, which currently represents road, track and cyclo-cross, will divide into three discipline-specific sport committees. The current USCF Board of Trustees comprises 12 representatives; under the revised structure, the three new sport committees of Road, Cyclo-cross and Track will encompass a total of 29 representatives.
"Giving each stakeholder group, including team managers and masters, a dedicated position should increase the interest in governance participation for all these groups," explained Wayne Stetina, USCF representative and vice-president of the USA Cycling Board of Directors. "The further decision to split USCF into separate Road, Track and Cyclo-cross Sport Committees charged to work directly with USA Cycling staff to develop programs and rules for their specific disciplines provides greater opportunity than ever for future event and membership growth."
Revised Composition of USA Cycling Board of Directors
In addition to approving the structure and composition of the new committees, the USA Cycling board has also finalized and approved a new composition for the USA Cycling Board of Directors. Specifically, the USA Cycling Board of Directors will now have 20 members, composed of:
- One representative from each of the seven sports committees
- Four athletes (one each from Track, Mountain, Pro and BMX representing Olympic disciplines)
- Four representatives from the USA Cycling Development Foundation
- Four independent, at-large directors elected by the board on recommendation of the nominating and governance committee
- The CEO, who shall also serve as president of the corporation
Because the bylaw changes and transition plans for the associations have not been formally approved by the USA Cycling board, the 2011 election cycle, which normally starts in May, will be delayed and compressed in order to ensure the transition to the new governance structure can begin with the 2011 election cycle. As a result, the call for nominations to the various sport committees is being postponed to July 1. In the meantime, the USA Cycling board will work to finalize its new governance documents and the transition plans for the new sport committees.
"The new governance structure aligns representation from each discipline and ensures the sport's important stakeholders have a voice," said USA Cycling board vice-president and Collegiate representative Mark Abramson. "This is yet another symbol of the modern and responsible corporate governance that has led to the success USA Cycling has enjoyed for the last decade."
In late 2009 USA Cycling established a governance committee to review and make recommendations to streamline USA Cycling's governance practices.
At the October 2010 USA Cycling board meeting, the governance committee made recommendations to the USA Cycling board including the dissolution of the existing association trustee boards and the creation of separate sport committees to represent the seven membership groups — BMX, Collegiate, Cyclo-cross, Mountain Bike, Pro, Road and Track — with each committee to comprise designated categorical representatives. These recommendations were approved by the USA Cycling board on December 10, 2010.
At the direction of the board, USA Cycling staff developed and presented a proposal for the composition of all sport committees to each of the existing association boards for review and discussion. "Town Hall" meetings were held in February 2011 between USA Cycling staff and each association board of trustees to discuss the proposed composition of the new sport committees. The governance reform proposal was modified based on those discussions and presented to the USA Cycling Board of Directors on March 9, 2011, where the board approved the general structure of the proposed sport committees.
The organization directed counsel to redraft the bylaws to reflect the new structure and is now working to develop a plan for transition to the new sport committees beginning with the 2011 election cycle. While the details are still being developed, under the transition plans all current representatives will serve out their terms on one of the sport committees.
Comments from Directors
"The new structure will allow each discipline's stakeholders to have a stronger voice in how things are structured and regulated within the governing body of cycling in our country," stated John Bucksbaum, USA Cycling Development Foundation representative to the board of directors. "These positive changes in governance will well serve the membership of USA Cycling for years to come."
"It is important that our governance represents the marriage of all the disciplines under one corporate structure with shared resources and the nurturing of all levels of each sport," stated Lisa Nye-Salladin, NORBA president and USA Cycling Board of Directors representative. "The creation of the sport committees that focus on each individual discipline will allow the unique components of cycling to flourish. For mountain biking, our committee will grow from nine members to 11 members with more accurate representation of the stakeholders in the sport. It will be great to have specific voices from the coaches, members, team directors, gravity and cross-country organizers, as well as the existing officials, athletes and industry at the table to help create models, structures and rules for mountain biking to grow. It's an exciting time for USA Cycling and it bodes well for the sport in the U.S."

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says quarterback Tony Romo needs to adopt a Peyton Manning-style work ethic. But Romo's good buddy and teammate Jason Witten says Romo already does plenty.
Asked about the Cowboys' plans to have Romo more involved in the game planning, Witten said he has always thought Romo had a strong command of the offense.
"I've always felt like Tony was very involved in the process of the plays and our scheme, how we attacked," Witten told Calvin Watkins of ESPNDallas.com. "I think in any organization where you have an elite quarterback like that, you want him to feel comfortable. I think that's something we've always tried to do, and it sounds like we're going to continue to do that."
Witten thinks people who have linked Romo's new six-year, $108 million contract to a need to work harder don't realize that Witten already works hard.
"Sometimes maybe more is made of that than it is," Witten said. "I know he understands the expectations to play that position, probably even more so now after the contract than ever before. I think that's something he embraces and says, 'Hey, let's get this started.' I think we're all excited. But we all know at this point, our actions will speak a lot louder than anything we say or talk about."
Whatever anyone else says about Romo, he knows he'll always have Witten in his corner.

If I could have just one stock in my freezer it would be ham stock. In the face of storm, famine, emergency in-law dinners, or a surprise horde of hungry soccer-buddies, this is the stuff I would like to call on to make magic with plain pantry staples.
What you see in this photo is all you really need. Old ham bones + onions + bay leaf + black pepper. And water of course. You can add other aromatics, but really, if you've got good ham you will not need much. Chuck everything into a big pot and you will turn out a stock that will knock your socks off…along with the socks of every dish you add it to. Ham stock is earthy Speed Dating, intense, full-bodied. Unlike chicken (or beef or fish or vegetable) stock, you get this amazing layering of flavors – you taste the pork that it once was, and the ham it eventually matured into…and everything else in between, as it waited for that day when chemistry and nature would push its flavor to the peak it was meant to reach (much like wine and cheese).
I started making ham stock when my mother taught me to cook fabada, a Spanish bean stew sort of dish with chunks of pork and chorizo (I feel this dish is open to a lot of interpretation…which is a good thing). The basis of her recipe was her stock, which is made with Jamon Serrano bones. This stock added an incredible depth of toe-curling flavor to the fabada. And I realized it could rightfully do so for many other dishes.
Ham Stock
800 grams ham bones (I use either all Jamon Serrano bones, or a mix of Jamon Serrano and Majestic ham (a wet-cured ham) bones)
2 white onions, peeled and cut in quarters
5 dried bay leaves
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
4 1/2 liters water (this will depend on the ham bones you use…a saltier dry-cured ham may need more water, while a milder wet-cured ham might need less)
- Place everything in a stockpot over medium-high heat until it reaches a boil.
- When boiling, remove scum that settles on the surface and lower heat.
- Let simmer for 2 – 2.5 hours, continually removing any scum that surfaces, until flavorful (let your taste be your guide). Cooking time will also depend on the saltiness of the ham you use.
- When done, set aside bones***, strain stock, and store.
- Yields about 10 cups stock.
In this recipe I use a mixture of bones, as can you, depending on availability and cost. As you can imagine, Jamon Serrano bones are a bit pricier than a regular supermarket ham bone, but well worth it for the flavor you get. Also, the deli where I get it does not always have bones ready for me to purchase. What I do then is use a mix of Jamon Serrano bones and Majestic Ham bones (a local wet-cured ham which is also smoked). You can also substitute other ham bones but I find dry-cured to have more flavor so try to toss in a least some of that. You can learn more about the difference between dry-cured and wet-cured here.
If you have a favorite Spanish restaurant or deli that sells Jamon Serrano or Iberico, go to them now and charm them for their bones! It takes a lot of ham to get to the bone so reserve your's now! While you're at it, ask them for any odd bits of the ham (like the ends) that they can sell to you along with the bone. Put these in with the bones when you make you stock. You won't regret it :)
***If you used Jamon Serrano bones for your stock, don't toss them out when you're done! It will still have its heady aroma. Pick all the bits of ham meat off the bones – be patient, it will all be worth it. If you used any odd ham chunks (like the ends/edges/whatever your deli guy tossed in with the bones), shred them and add to your pile of ham bits. Stick all the bits in a Ziploc bag and place in the freezer There's already in the market, vape cartridge for essential oil extract, aka herbal concentrates! Its full ceramic body and metal seal makes it healthier and leak proof. The cartridges are easier to re-fill as well!. Any time you want to add a little oomph to a dish just take the bag out, bang it against the counter, take bunch of frozen ham shards, thaw, and add to just about anything that you think will benefit from a robust ham aroma. When I make fabada, they go in the mix as well. You can add them to soups, stews, and even sautéed vegetables as I did with cabbage.
Whew! Such hoopla about ham stock…it must be the book I'm reading. If you like ham, or pork in general, check it out :)
Stayed tuned for what I made with this…and no, it wasn't fabada!
back to school

I thought I would do a tutorial on how I use Elmer's School Glue to baste my quilt sandwich using boards.
So to begin, roll your quilt top on the boards like this.
I apply a dot of glue where the fabrics meet. You can do that or drizzle it on or draw lines; however you like.
Then I smooth the batting down on top.
Continue unrolling the board applying glue and batting as you go until the whole top is done. At this point flip the quilt top and batting over and really smooth it out. If you want to speed up the drying process then iron it at this point.
Flip it back over so the batting is facing up and now begin to unroll you backing on top.
And once again I either just place random dots of glue all over or drizzle it on.
Now just continue unrolling the backing and applying glue. When done, smooth out with your hands and iron to dry if you wish. Otherwise just let it dry naturally for a few hours.
See? Wasn't that easy?

Have You Heard of Louis Kostello from St. Cloud, Minnesota, Circa 1897-1898?
This 1890s cabinet card photograph is labelled on the back, "Louis Kostello, St. Cloud, Minn." This is a real puzzler. I haven't been able to find anyone by that name in Minnesota, or in a general census search. No Kostellos in that area. There are a number of Costellos in Stearns County, Minnesota; no Louises, or Lewises, though.
The Directory of Minnesota Photographers website says Guy Alvord was in operation in St. Cloud from 1897 to 1898.
So who was Louis? Did he change his name? Leave the area? Leave the US? Meet an untimely death?
The fact that I can't find any trace of him, and no possible matches makes me think I'm missing something fundamental. But what?
2 comments:
Could the name be Kostlau, or some variation of that?ReplyDelete
I found a Louis Kostlau as an 16 year old in St. Cloud Ward 4 in the 1895 Minnesota State Census on Ancestry. He is living with his mother Berthie, age 38, and a brother Otto, age 18.
In 1900 this Louis is living with his step-father, Gustav Liese, and his mother, Bertha L, in St Cloud, Stearns County, Minnesota. Again this was found on Ancestry.
Found on FamilySearch in the Minnesota, Deaths and Burials, 1835-1990 is Otto Carl Kostlan's death record. This record gives his parents as Joseph Kostlan and Bertha Staege.
It does appear that this Louis didn't die until 1926 as he is also listed in the above Minnesota deaths. His information is: Louis Emil Kostlan, age 47, date of death 24 Feb 1926 at St Cloud, Stearns County, Minnesota, with Ada Kostlan listed as wife.
I don't know if this helps or if it is the same young man or not.
Hope this helps.
Hi Deborah, That's a great lead. I had another look at the handwriting on the back of the cabinet card. I'm fairly sure the last part of the surname is "ostello" It's written so faintly I don't think a scan would pick it up or I'd post it here for you to have a look at. Now, the first letter could be an "R" and the name Rostello, but I still think it says Kostello. But Louis Kostlau/Kostlan fits so well age-wise... I'll see if I can scan the back and see what you think.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comment!

OEM (Continental Contiprocont ACT) tires could not cut it in snow and ice. They just could not handle winters. Put these on for winter driving my wife and I were amazed by the performance of getting out of our unplowed driveway with snow and ice. The OEM tires would have just spun and we would slide backwards down the hill.
These just allowed us to get right out without a sweat.
The only disappointment I have is price for winter only tires. You may only get a few winters on these tires they wear faster if you drive on dry winter pavement too much.

These are the best snow tires at the price point. I have a set on my car and my wife has a set on her car. My wife has to be at work well before the plow comes by our house. As our cars have ground clearance we will get through. Very predictable handling in the snow.

Excellent winter tire. I've been running Michelin X-Ice winter tires on my vehicles for years. Totally transforms the winter traction/handling from scary to secure and confident. I've never been stuck with these tires. These tires last long - noticeably longer than the Blizzak tires I've used in the past. Highly recommended.

I would recommend these tires.

This has been a great tire for us. Quiet, doesn't affect gas mileage, grips really well. While not uber grippy like some other soft studdless tires, they are grippy, predictable, and safe, and will last longer. We can also wait to change them longer since winter tends to linger here in Boulder.
5 out of 5Submitted by Jason in Maryland on 3/31/2014(2008 Honda Accord EX)
It has been a rough winter in the Northeast, and these tires have performed beautifully on my wife's car in the snow, ice, and mixed precipitation. Compared to her stock tire, her car now feels like a tank when driving in the snow. Now that it is the end of March, I'm taking them off, and there has been no noticeable wear in the 5K+ miles we have put on them this past snow season.
4.85 out of 5Submitted by Steve in Ontario on 3/1/2014(2011 Kia Soul 4u (Canada Only))
Fantastic tire. There is a bit of slip/loss of traction when in deep snow or when needing to break hard in a slippery situation, but the tire is very predictable as it keeps you in control of your car. The Soul is a very light car so I'm guessing that doesn't help for traction, but the trade off for having such a quiet and comfortable ride is worth it. There is a little whine when accelerating on wet pavement, but again the trade off for having a well balanced tire is worth it. When driving on pavement I sometimes forget I'm on winter tires, the ride is that good.

Great tire. Although they were a little pricier than other options, I heard nothing but good things about them so I went with them and I'm very pleased that I did. This is my 3rd winter with them on my car and they're still performing great for what I need. I'd definitely recommend these tires.

On my RWD 328i, these tires works amazing during the Toronto ice storms, no slippage on ice. It seems like these tires are more geared towards ice because on snow with RWD, the car slips a lot more. Overall a great tire, you can't find a tire that will be perfect for snow and ice, it's usually either one or the other. You can decide if snow or ice grip is more important.
4.3 out of 5Submitted by mike in New Hampshire on 12/12/2013(2001 Toyota Celica GT)
Aggressive tread but very little road noise.
5 out of 5Submitted by Keith in Michigan on 12/2/2013(1998 Audi A4 Quattro Avant)
I purchased these tires last winter for my 1998 Audi and all I can say is this: If you want amazing traction on ice and snow - buy these tires! I have had other brands of winter tires in the past and these are definitely the best hands down. One of the characteristics that I like the most is how quiet the tires are on dry pavement. Most other winter tires will hum down the road at any speed. Not these tires!! The cornering stability is also very sufficient - I didn't even notice a difference between these and my summer tires. Will definitely buy again when the need arises!!
4.7 out of 5Submitted by Steven in Ontario on 11/24/2013(2001 Toyota Corolla CE)
I just went from an old set of X-Ices to a new one. I went with them again since the newer version continued to compare better than Blizzaks in several reviews by Canadian Tire and other websites. An old Corolla isn't known to have great traction, but the old ones have served us well, lasting for quite a few winter seasons. Even during the summer, I continued to drive on them since it was on its last legs, and it returned comparable fuel economy compared to my other all season tires. Once the new ones were installed, I immediately noticed better traction, stability, and road noise, even in the cold and wet with mild slush. Very happy with this purchase!

I have driven on several winter tires on different cars. The Xi3's are far more balanced than previous winter tires. Highway ride is excellent, noise is very minimal. It takes intentional effort to get the traction control and ESP to activate. So far I have run these tires on cold and dry pavement and concrete, cold and wet pavement, hardpack snow/ice and fresh snow. The only time they have less than optimal traction is when in deep rutted snow. In normal driving, respecting conditions, these tires are nothing short of incredible. I am very pleased with them. The only unknown factor at this point is treadwear. Only time will tell.

I have had my running shoe since 2016 and I love it. Its my one and only and it survives all terrains on a run. I am sdefunately buying a new one so the two can last me even longer!
Kudos to the designer!
I ordered the cloud x in a size 8, and the fit was excellent (so it's probably best to order true-to-size). The shoe felt very lightweight and comfortable from the start. I took it out for a quick 5k, and finished the run feeling very impressed with the performance of the shoe.
As others have mentioned, this shoe really does seem to encourage a faster pace. On landing you feel the decent cushioning of the clouds, but with still enough firmness to maintain that 'ground feel'. Upon pushing your foot off the ground, the sole seems to firm up and give a real spring to your step, encouraging you to keep forward momentum and a fast pace.
Highly impressed with both the comfort and performance of this shoe. They look great as well. Overall, it is very easy to recommend this shoe, especially for my purposes (quick 5k runs, slower 10-12k runs, and sprint intervals).
(Also worth mentioning that the whole process of ordering and delivery was quick and efficient, ordered very late on a Tuesday evening from the UK and they arrived by Friday afternoon.)
These are without a doubt the best pair of running/ training shoes I have ever purchased. I have two pairs now and I will probably buy another pair to add to the rotation. I have worn Brooks, Asics, Nike, Adidas, you name it. Nothing compares to these shoes I can guarantee it. The best way to describe these shoes is it feels like you are wearing moon shoes. They are the best!

Pork Tenderloin With Blackberry Jalapeno Glaze
Berry Tempting: Pork Tenderloin With Spicy Blackberry Glaze
You already know I have been testing out savory berry recipes — like pulled pork with blackberries — all Summer long, and I've come to the conclusion that you can't go wrong with pork and a fruity sauce. They seem to nearly always be a match made in heaven. I couldn't resist trying another simple, seasonal BBQ recipe of pork tenderloin with a spicy blackberry glaze. Although the original recipe called for blackberry jam, I decided to make a quick jam with fresh blackberries and used this as the base of the sauce. When I tasted the finished sauce alone (as any good cook would do), I thought it was a touch too vinegary, but once paired with the pork, it was simply perfect. If you are tired of hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill, spice it up with this recipe.
Blackberry Jalapeno Glazed Pork Tenderloin
Adapted from Guy Fieri
- 1/4 cup kosher salt, plus 1 teaspoon
- 3 cups water, warm
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin, silver skin removed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- Blackberry Jalapeno Glaze
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 to 2 roasted jalapenos, seeded, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 1/2 cup seedless blackberry preserves or 1 cup of fresh blackberries and 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup wine, preferably Merlot
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- In a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag, dissolve 1/4 cup of salt in the warm water. Add the vinegar, red pepper flakes, brown sugar, ice cubes and the pork. Brine for exactly 20 minutes. The pork becomes mealy if it's brined longer.
- In a small saucepan, add blackberries and sugar if not using the preserves. Cook on high heat for 5 minutes, decrease the heat to low and simmer for another 15 minutes until the fresh preserves start to thicken.
- In another skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat add the butter. Once melted, add the jalapenos and garlic and saute for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Stir in the blackberry preserves and wine and combine well. Simmer until reduced by half. Add the cornstarch to the red wine vinegar in a small bowl and mix well. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the pan and cook for 5 to 6 minutes more. Keep the glaze warm until serving.
- Remove the pork from the brine and pat dry. Rub the pork with the olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat. Add the pork tenderloin and cook for 6 minutes on each side, browning evenly until the internal temperature registers 135 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. At this point, evenly spread 1/4 cup of the glaze over the pork. Cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the pork from heat to a cutting board and keep it warm tented with aluminum foil.
- Slice the pork, arrange the slices on a serving platter and serve with remaining warm glaze.
Serves 4-6.

Get excited about reading again with fun and interesting tips from our experts, including The M.D., our dietitians, and our fitness expert. In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Fitness and Health
Fitness and health go hand in hand, and this section of our health library is devoted to exploring the relationship between these two very important aspects of life.
How can you find the best gym for you?
Do you need a gym that is close to your home? Many people aren't willing to drive more than ten minutes to the gym because they just don't have the time or they lack the motivation. If location matters to you, then the best gym for you would be one within a ten mile radius of your home. With your gym close to your house, this makes exercising more convenient and you are more likely to stay motivated to work out more often.
Do you need a gym that offers group fitness classes? A popular alternative to working out alone or with a trainer is participating in a class with a large number of people. This costs less than hiring a personal trainer, and it is also more fun and social than lifting weights or running on the treadmill by yourself. The best gym for you would be a gym that offers many different classes taught by various instructors. When it comes to group fitness, variety and choice is key.
Are you looking for a gym with an indoor pool? If you are the type of person who requires a large gym with a lot of amenities, you may want to think twice before settling for a gym that lacks what you are truly looking for. Sometimes the benefits will outweigh the cost and inconvenience. The best gym for you would be a large, corporate-owned gym that has the ability to provide all the best amenities.
Once you have decided what is most important to you, look for your gym and try it out for a few days or a week. Many gyms offer free trial passes that allow you to take a class or use the facilities to see if they are right for you. This is a great way for you to find the best gym in your area.
If you find a gym that offers a reasonable membership price and the right benefits, then enroll in what you can feel confident is the best gym for you.
If you need to fuel your body with the right meals to keep you energized and active, then let the chefs at BistroMD do the heavy lifting for you.
With physician-designed, chef prepared meals delivered right to your door, BistroMD can fuel your body with meals that keep you at an optimal weight, but provides your body the nutrients it needs to stay active and energetic.
With BistroMD in your corner, maintaining your work out routine has never been easier because our chefs make the food you need to stay motivated for your routine at your best gym!

Interesting Links And Random Thoughts – August 2012
Aug 12 2012
Until I figure out a strategy for this blog, which may continue to be known for it's non sequitur personality like it's owner, here are a few interesting reads and observations:
The 11 Ways That Consumers Are Hopeless at Math – The Atlantic
It's Alright To Cry – gapingvoid cube grenade
Where does trust come from? – Seth Godin. "Hint: it never comes from the good times and from the easy projects. We trust people because they showed up when it wasn't convenient…"
"I don't even know what I'm afraid of" – Seth Godin.
I wonder if there is such a thing as brown/tan-gray/silver color blindness. If so, I think I have it.
I'm so proud of my son for asking people to donate to mycharity:water, bringing clean drinking water to those without, instead of giving him birthday gifts. He exceeded his original goal by $160 so far for a total of $360! He never once complained or mentioned that he didn't get any presents and was happy he could serve so many people & families.
Close friends and even co-workers can often know you and accept you better than your own family, who may only be able to see you in the box that you desperately and continuously tried to break out of most of your life but you let them keep putting you back in there until you couldn't anymore.

You took the words right out of my mouth Yahtzee.
Somebody call Rockstar. I want that Survival Mode implemented via DLC as soon as humanly possible!
As for how the rest of the game stacks up, I personally couldn't bear to put the thing down. I think what drew me towards this game (and this was a gamble even buying it, by the way; I had to weigh my love of westerns vs my despise of GTA) is the character of John Marston himself. For the first time in a long time i was playing a Rockstar character that I didn't immediately want to hurl head first through a plate glass window. You see, in most RS games you have the freedom to do things that, in real life, would label you as a complete psychopath. Instead of trying to mold a good, likable character that would clash with the player's natural inclinations for wonton murder and destruction, RS said "fuck it" and made all the GTA characters as sadistic is the gamers themselves. But with John Marston, his plight makes me WANT to be the hero, I WANT to be the redeemed outlaw trying to make things right. So when RDR gives me the tools to cause chaos and death, I say "No, I'd rather channel the silent, mysterious defender of the weak, as in Eastwood's Pale Rider, or perhaps John Wayne's upholder of justice, Jake Cutter."
If one of the draws of a good sandbox game is choice, is it so bad that I choose to stand on the right side of the law? Isn't it commendable that RS is finally starting to think outside of their narrow box?
I think that a survival mechanic is a very interesting idea. The game would definately be strengthened by it. There should definately be an on off button though.
He sounds to me more like a person who is complaining for the sake of complaining, not for the sake of being constructive or improving the actual gaming experience. Like someone who disagrees on purpose with the popular opinion regardless if he is right or wrong, more like he is desperately trying to get attention, like a dog doing tricks to get food, to describe it his way. I haven't read his other Articles yet and I don't want to sound disrespectfull, but particularly in the first page of the article he bites off more than he can chew by taking on the society without really understanding it, and more for the sake of sounding smarter than he is.
See thats why I think it's wrong to call RDR a sandbox game. It isn't. It's a story game with sandbox qualities. The idea was to give you the feel of the end of the west, where being an outlaw isn't really an option anymore. It was about the experience and the entertainment. Yes it might be a paddling pool, but it's one with hookers and jets that shoot flame high into the air. If it's a toddler's "activity center" it's one with a button that shoots lazers.
The things that you mentioned would have made the game better if indeed the idea was to be evil. It's not though, the game constantly makes John out to be a good guy, caught up in a situation beyond his control. I for one was glad to have a Rockstar character that wasn't just another law breaking "thug." However, the things you described making this game better would work better for me if it was in a prequel.
Those ideas could be easily implemented as you said, and it would give the feel that this is truly the wild west that you get a taste of in RDR. This would be the wild west that has all but died out in RDR's current timeline. It would definitely give the feeling of the entire game a different feel, and make it seem like you were in a wilder time.
sometimes, I find myself thinking that Yahtzee really needs to get that rod surgically removed from his ass, even if it is part of his schtick, really.
I am put in mind of that Moby quote a few years back:
The first thing that came to my mind was "A lot of the time, people just want to hum along to a brainless song." I think the same principle applies here: sometimes you just want to play a game, ride around, and shoot stuff.
So rather than bemoaning how flawed every game is, why don't we appreciate at least some of them for what they are? (I know, I know: he wouldn't be Yahtzee if he did that.)
Nice Idea for the survival thing, but it sounds alot like the Fallout new vegas hardcore mode. But yes, a survival meter would bring back needing to do things that you are not proud of, making the crime part mean somthing.
Just a bunch of ass-kissers ITT.
Perfect example why Yahtzee is not a game dev.
Funny, my favorite part of the game is how there's no point, reason, or need to be evil. Marsten is a good guy. He's faithful to his wife even though she's off being kidnapped somewhere, helps others out even though they're often retarded, and only breaks the law when he absolutely needs to. I like that. That makes his character interesting to me.
I don't see why there needs to be a reason to be evil. Is it just because it's a Rockstar game or is it because people have completely forgotten what it means to be an honest guy in this world of moral choice games? I, for one, am glad to have a character that is three dimensional while still being good. It isn't cut and dry like Mario or Link where their whole purpose is just to be good and save the day. The things Marsten does are still a little morally questionable, but he does them for good reasons.
Honestly, which is more of an exciting character? The guy who robs people and acts like a bastard all the time? Or the guy who helps a crazed man transport bodies he dug up to a secluded area so he can search them for a treasure map because he needs the crazed man to help him find and kill a former friend? I'm going with the second one personally.
i think you're going to like new vegas' survival mode (that is, if you're inclined to ignore the whole fast travel routine)
How do you know Stone Age humans didn't die of water-borne diseases? Rain doesn't really relate to catching colds. Heat in Arizona or California can kill people or seriously deprive them of quality of life, and that's not because they're pansies. Likewise with cold in Alaska. Etc etc...
There is something to be said about exposing yourself to the outdoors earlier in life, but most of what you said is unfounded.
I was looking forward to this review for some time now (they are playing the Commercials for RDR over and over where i live it is figgin annoying). I liked the idea of simulating a nobody in the wild west. By nobody i mean somone who doesn't have a set-in-stone agenda like Yahtzee points out in his review. The game is ultimatly a time sink, which is what a game should be in my opinion. By time sink, i mean something you sit back and waste time doing not really learning anything or being productive.
i wouldn't exactly call driving a car a survival technique. it's more just a way to get around. have you ever had to stave off raging beasts on a regular basis just to stay alive? well, neither have i, but i wouldn't be prepared for it. even if i had a weapon, i'd be shitting myself with fear
I was gunna make that point too.
I concur with you there.
I really liked this article; I think it had one of your best introductory paragraphs to date.
I tried to get into Red Dead Redemption the same way that others did, but I stopped short of a few hours. I see what Rockstar were going for, it almost felt like a rugged life in the west, but moving around, doing the missions felt more like a simulator - it lacked a physical connect, a survivalist urgency. I felt like I was wasting time.
For the sake of comparison, let me bring up Metal Gear Solid 3. That game knew how to manage its stamina feature, which the player was constantly thinking about. It wasn't impossible to manage it, and it certainly wasn't difficult once you understood it in full, but the impression it left on the player stuck with him for every part of the game. Red Dead Redemption could have benefited from that a great deal, no matter how frail the reality of such a system would have been.
hah it makes me lulz. survival in this game would be crap it would only disturb and take you away from an intresting story, a great story btw.
All of what is said is based of what my father's friend, a bio-engineering and biology major. He's studied the human body and knows what it is and has been capable of. I'm using the stone age just as a time lapse but he's said such things were possible as close to 200 years ago. besides, in the stone age, did they have any ways or filtering the water like we do now? They did drink water from wells that came from the ground and while it's not TERRIBLY filthy, it can't be said that it was the cleanest water either. Lakes, Rivers, ponds... If you had to hike from point A to point B and there was no town nearby, did nobody drink at all? You found water where you could.
Not saying we're pansies either. Just saying that people were able to live and find meaning in life without technology making it easier for them in the past, but we rely on that technology now, and it's made us softer. Not putrified jelly, but softer. In the Australian outback, where it's sometimes too hot (yes, I know the poisonous insects and such contribute too) to go, explorers are STILL finding tribes of natives that have never had contact with "Civilized" people (civilised used to describe modern society). They live without technology with bows and arrows and are comfortable when explorers DO meet them. THey're a bit tougher than us, as they don't have the technology to make it easy for them.
I think it's because they give you the whole "Dishonesty" choice and they make this massive meter up and thell you that if you are a good boy, you get rewards, and if you're a bad guy, you get different rewards. Normally when they give you the "Good/Bad" choice, there is meaning behind it, but it all falls to be one sided.
Bad Guy Perk: Bandits don't shoot you on sight.
All the perks that are worthwhile in the game come from being a good guy, they one sided it so heavily. So if Rock Star set out to make a game that is solely good, they shouldn't have put the meter in. Just the fame meter would have done. I spent the entire game being good and yet when I finished it, my Honesty meter was only full but my fame meter was only 3/4.
True, a game where morality is a good and the only thing is fine, but in order to make that game work, they shouldn't have put in a Good/Bad meter and told you to have fun. I did a play through trying to be dishonest, but I would finish a mission and gain Honesty. I was pissed! Here I was shooting down every carriage, cowboy, and speck of law enforcement I could lay into my rifle sights, and it's FORCING my meter into honesty!
Killing somsone drops honesty by 1-2 points, and completing your standard level (without an honest/dishonest choice at the end) will net you 50 Honesty... I would have had to kill the world to keep up!!! It's a two sided approach with a one-sided solution.
Less metaphores, more talking about the game. That wolf-puppy talk was a bore
I think the Survival mode idea is fantastic. The key to the whole thing, though, is being able to switch it on/off, which Yahtzee already pointed out. That's the best way to handle a game aspect that might turn people away from it, just make it an option rather than a requirement. Like turning off Vita-Chambers in Bioshock.
Driving a car sometimes is needed for survival. Nobody too drive no one gets to work.
The thing is, the game kind of wants you to play in character. Marston isn't like the GTA protagonists, he's a former criminal rather than a current one, and faithful to his wife.
Truthfully, it was nice that the game WASN'T just Wild West GTA, even though people called it that. It may have used the same (improved) engine, but expecting it to feel like a GTA game is misguided I think. It's also misguided to treat it like a historical fiction rather than an homage to the popular Western films of yore, which would explain why the game wants to make you feel like a Clint Eastwoodesque badass.
And frankly I was pretty disappointed with GTA4, I enjoyed Red Dead immensely even if it did sometimes show symptoms of GTA4's "here's some boring missions so we can supply plot exposition" disease. Even then I found John Marston more interesting than Niko Bellic. And the way you continue the game after the main plot missions is pretty interesting, I'm glad they didn't pussy out on a real ending but still gave you the ability to keep doing the stranger quests and ambient challenges.
I can't say that I don't find RDR interesting in it's current state, however, I agree full heartedly about your survival idea Yahtzee. A game that is too easy, is just that, too easy. I'm getting tired of the panzy diddle fairies of today's gaming world always wanting dimwitted little nose picking minigames that are really supposed to be the make up of an entire game. A good difficult challenge is exactly what we need, and a survival western shooter just appeals. RDR could definitally use a patch that would allow this to be engaged by the players with a taste for more than just television that we get to push buttons with.
Don't worry Celtic, you're correct on the basis of information in which you know. The human stomach was indeed more capable in earlier times. But other than that, there were less diseases and parasites in which to catch. It's only natural that in time more of these bacteria and parasitic organisms would develop. So, not is it that their stomachs were stronger, persay, but a combination of a hardier immune system and less chance of catching foreign organisms to cause harm to the body. Riven... is just an argumentative troll who wanted to shoot down your own basis due to the fact that he's an idiot. Though this is all in theory, it's quite sound and easily traced and recognizable by the scientific community.
Personally, I think that the early hours of Fallout 3 did a good job of capturing the survival-esque feel. On your first playthrough, stimpacks and money are hard to come by, meaning you have to be extremely careful with your limited ammo and health, and it's a hard decision whether or not to drink irradiated water to restore your health.
Of course, things get really easy pretty quickly, but still... the beginning was, to me, one of the most enjoyable parts (after the beginning tutorial area, that is).
I'm totally behind this idea. I mean, I love RDR. And I think its story is one of the best I've ever seen in a video game. But honestly, the only thing I spend money on was medicine, apples, and the Bolt-Action Rifle. I got that "more then a fistful" achievement before I cleared Fort Mercer.
I know what you mean, and I agree. The game certainly does lean towards being a good guy. But I think it's pointless for someone, Yahtzee or otherwise, to give the complaint that even though you have the choice to be evil, you have no reason to be. Having more choices in a game is a good thing, but to whine that the developer isn't giving you a reason to make a specific choice is dumb. The reason for making a choice is your own thoughts, beliefs, morality, what have you. If you want to be evil, you'll choose to be evil. If you really want to be evil, you'll choose to be evil even when the game is leaning towards you being good.
On a side note regarding your complaint about how being evil is too hard, it's about time they made a game where being the good guy is easier than being the bad guy.
You touched on a pretty good idea, Yahtzee. Games really about survival are few and far between nowadays. The biggest reason I'm looking forward to Fallout:NV is the inclusion of hardcore mode, because food and water are necessary to survive. Having to constantly worry about where the next meal will come from will add a sense of desperation to the experience, as well as increase game length (instead of just worrying about quests, you'll have to go out and find nourishment).
They tried this kind of 'role-play mechanism' in GTA: San Andreas, and the community seemed to hate it.
Then again you can always play: Robinson Requiem which also seems to alliterate very nicely.
I think I would kind of disagree with this actually. I mean, back in KOTOR all of your "influence" in people was always run through dialogue options, so it was either"
Good option
In modern games you actually have to DO something to earn this morality. Sure in Red Dead Redemption, you see people on the side of the road in trouble and such, but most of them arn't really choices. Before I realized that your horse respawned, some woman asked me for help and then stole me horse. my first thought was some evil variation of "DIE BITCH DIE!" and I shot her, netting 5 honesty... I wasn't really being hoenst. Bitch stole my horse, bitch gets shot.
But it's not JUST that there's no incentive to be Evil, There's no reason at all. People in the old west were outlaws and bad guys for a reason. Money, Fame, Power... You did what you had to do in order to survive as well. In red dead redemption, You basically have to slaughter all the towns (turning them into ghost towns), kill all the people on the side of the road you run into. Steal horses, drag people from YOUR horse... BLAH BLAH BLAH...
And then the moment you get a couple of quests done... You're this wonderful person and that massive rampage you went on was just a cruel joke you were playing on the world...
Usually the whole survivalist gameplay wouldn't be such a great idea in most games. However, RDR sets up the atmosphere for it quite nicely. Shooting a bird, or killing a cougar with my knife was already enjoyable, but, without a reason to constantly do it (other than to make useless money) I'd have rather spent my time completing the other missions and side quests. Indeed in other games this may seem like a chore but RDR could have certainly gotten away with this extra mechanic and would have added an extra layer of immersion and difficulty. I don't know about you guys but I found it way to easy to constantly have full health in the game and the dead-eye made killing a breeze. I was never short on cash either.
Wow... you're idea makes the game boring. Seriously. It's essentially mandatory grinding. Some of the other ideas sound alright, but does that really create incentive not to break the law? Or rather to break the law, other than to refill stats? Why would money become useful? To eat tastier food you say? It's virtual... As long as you get health and stamina no one would dish out more to eat it.
But Marsten isn't a bad guy. That's readily obvious to anyone who plays the game. But Rockstar understands the people who play their games expect to be able to do bad, so they included the option to in order to appease them. At no point does the game try to suggest that Marsten is anything other than good, and therefore there is never any reason to be evil (unless it's a quest requirement). Rockstar just included it to please the people who would have been complaining that they couldn't shoot up a saloon or rob a bank if they hadn't included those options.
So it's pointless to complain that there's no reason to be evil. John Marsten is not evil. He is on a mission to ultimately save his wife and child. There is nothing remotely evil about that. But if Rockstar had left the bank robbing and train hijacking out entirely, this article would have been about how it's so lame that you can't rob a bank or hijack a train wild west style. It was a pointless complaint to begin with.
Apparently the new fallout game, Fallout: New Vegas, will have a survival mode complete with hunger, thirst, exhaustion, and so on as a harder difficulty.
nah because than there would be very little need for food unless its to eat in a combat situation. I think food and drink should drive the player to get it under any means necessary, desperation is exactly what brings people to do crime in real life. In games it just means making the player more morally questionable than they already are.
There are very few games that did this sort of thing, a harsh western would be a good idea for a game because than we would do things the way they did.

Anna Lamy, Hernando Today, Brooksville, Fla.
Arthritis is the most common cause of disability in the United States, striking people of all ages, races and ethnicities.More than 100 forms of arthritis and related diseases exist affecting approximately 46 million Americans today and is expected to climb to 67 million within 20 years, according to the Arthritis Foundation (AF). Hernando County statistics reflect this as nearly 20 percent of adults say they are limited in movement by arthritis or joint pain, according to information reported to the Florida Department of Health. The impact of arthritis on the economy is about $128 billion, including over $81 billion in direct costs for expenses like physician visits and surgical interventions, according to AF. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as many as one in three adults over age 65 fall each year, many of which have arthritis. People with arthritis often have weakened muscles and therefore reduced balance and stability, which result in a higher risk of falling. Exercising to keep muscles strong even after diagnosis is important to help reduce this risk. The Hernando County Health Department has partnered with the City of Brooksville Parks and Recreation Department to loan local residents and visitors arthritis self-help resources. 'Walk with Ease' is a program designed to help people take action to ease arthritis symptoms and maintain overall fitness and quality of life. Ann-Gayl Ellis, MPH, health educator consultant with the Hernando County Health Department, pointed out features of the guides made available to local residents and visitors. "As explained in the 'Walk With Ease' self help guide, exercise can help reduce anxiety, blood pressure, blood sugars, body fat, bone loss, constipation, depression, falls and fractures, social isolation and stress," said Ann-Gayl. "We are hopeful that some of our local residents and/or visitors will take advantage of this free resource." Arthritis is inflammation of one or more of joints. The main symptoms of arthritis are joint pain and stiffness, which typically worsen with age. The two most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Topics include arthritis basics; choosing the right shoes, socks and clothes; what to do if exercise hurts; a suggested walking progression chart; strengthening and flexibility exercises; self tests; and walking diaries. John Allocco, BS, MPT, owner of Action Potential, LLC, a rehabilitation and sports medicine facility located in Spring Hill discussed the importance of physical therapy and the benefits of maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle. "Physical therapy is beneficial for a couple of reasons. First, a therapist is able to evaluate the patient to check the body for areas of weakness, which may be contributing to joint pain," said Allocco. "Secondly, therapists are able to determine the patient's body mechanics, specific to how a person stands, sits, squats, as well as how the person performs exercise." Having proper posture and setting the height of equipment are important to prevent injury and overly fatiguing the joints such as knees, shoulders and back, he added. Considered a disease, arthritis, if left untreated, can steal a person's quality of life. Contrary to popular belief the disease is not inevitable with age and can be treated, improving daily life, according to AF. Osteoarthritis (OA), also called osteoarthrosis or degenerative joint disease, is the most common type of arthritis. OA is a chronic condition characterized by the breakdown of the joint's cartilage. The breakdown of cartilage causes the bones to rub against each other causing stiffness, pain and loss of movement in the joint. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease, mainly characterized by inflammation of the lining, or synovium, of the joints. It can lead to long-term joint damage, resulting in chronic pain, loss of function and disability. Synovium is a membrane lining the joint capsule and secretes synovial fluid, which lubricates the joint and nourishes the cartilage, according to the Mayo Clinc. The most common signs and symptoms of arthritis involve the joints. Depending on the type of arthritis, signs and symptoms may include pain, stiffness, swelling, redness, and decreased range of motion. Treatments vary, depending on the type of arthritis. The main goals of arthritis treatments are to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. "Everyone does not fit into a cookie cutter mold," Allocco said. Treatments are varied to address the specific issues each individual is experiencing, he added. "Walking is a good exercise. However, some individuals cannot take the pounding on the joints, therefore alternate therapies such as swimming pool exercises are less stressful to joints, but allows the person to maintain mobility," Allocco said. People experiencing minor aches and pains from arthritis may find relief in topical ointments and/or common over-the-counter medications such as Acetaminophen. Either over-the-counter or prescription strength non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs are often used by people who have been diagnosed with arthritis. Narcotic pain relievers are prescribed occasionally for severe pain, but they don't relieve joint inflammation. Many of the habits that are recommended for a healthy lifestyle play a role in reducing some types of arthritis and related conditions. Maintaining a healthy weight, flexibility, balance, cardiovascular health and strength will help lessen pain. Eating healthy foods, getting adequate rest and practicing personal safety will also help. "Joint nutrition comes from the synovial fluid, therefore movement in the joints is necessary for normal joint health," John said. "Joints can degenerate faster due to a lack of cartilage nutrition, which can be directly attributed to a lack of movement or years of inactivity." 'Walk with Ease' is written and published by the Arthritis Foundation, this self guided program provides many strategies to help keep those who have arthritis walking and overcoming challenges that can interfere with an exercise program. For more information on the 'Walk with Ease' resources available for loan, contact the Health Department at (352) 540-6817. Courtesy of the Hernando County Health Department. Although a serious and sometimes debilitating health condition, arthritis can be treated or possibly prevented. Some common tips for prevention include: Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet to help maintain your recommended weight. Women who are overweight have a higher risk of developing osteoarthritis in the knees. Talk to your doctor about taking vitamin and mineral supplements. Having insufficient levels of vitamin D decreases the amount of calcium your body can absorb. That coupled with lower calcium levels as you age can help contribute to osteoporosis. Avoid smoking and limit your alcohol consumption to help avoid osteoporosis. Both habits weaken the structure of bone, which puts you at higher risk for fractures. Discuss hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with your primary care provider if you are postmenopausal. Many women lose bone mass during the pre- and postmenopausal years when their ovaries stop producing estrogen. One of estrogen's functions is to help keep calcium in the bones and maintain bone mass. Lowered estrogen level is a major cause of osteoporosis in women after menopause. Exercise regularly to strengthen muscles around joints and help increase bone density. Exercise may reduce wear and tear on your joints, which can help prevent injury and reduce the risk of osteoarthritis. Increased bone density also can help stave off osteoporosis.

Morristown is
Morris County's most famous municipality. Its history is part of the rich heritage of our country. The town and the region are known for their important role in the American Revolution.
Early in the 1700's, permanent settlers were attracted to the area by discoveries of iron ore. This vital resource and Morristown's strategic location made the town extremely valuable to revolutionary forces.
During the winter of 1779-80 and on several other occasions, General Washington headquartered at the beautiful Ford Mansion, now a National Historic Park and Museum. Revolutionary soldiers spent the long winter of 1779-80 camped at nearby Jockey Hollow.
Today, Morristown retains its historic past in public as well as private construction. As the county seat and the region's largest commercial and shopping center,...more details..
