Denise, you said your feet cramp up when doing high-impact, but not specifically where. I have had a problem as long as I can remember with cramping in my feet, mainly in my lateral (outside of the foot) arches and in front of my heel. I only have the problem with shoes on - barefoot I'm fine...

Thanks for that link!

Does anyone have Steve Cotter's Encyclopedia of Kettlebell Lifting (either volume) and do you think it's worthwhile? There are a few clips from it on youtube and I think he has a really good, thorough way of teaching the correct way to do all the moves, but I'm hesitant to spend $100 on it...

Ok, I grabbed the video file for you. I realized it was going to be slightly more complicated than that how-to link I posted. If you click this link, you should be able to download it to your computer and burn it to a disc http://dl.dropbox.com/u/823800/fla405.flv This is just a flash...

You don't need free software. Before you even worry about what kind of disc to use, you need to get the video file saved somewhere that you can work with it. Your newspaper is using flash to post the video. Put simply, your web browser looks at the server where they have the video stored...

Sorry this took me so long. Yes, Fat Head is a documentary. The guy who made it started it as a response to what he perceived as dishonesty in the making of the more well-know documentary Supersize Me, and in the process he read Good Calories, Bad Calories, met Mike Eades and Jimmy Moore...

I've used Rosetta Stone for Italian. I only got through the first unit before deciding I wasn't going to have time to use it and returned it. It is quite time-intensive. I'll probably buy it again someday, but at the time I couldn't justify that much money for something that was going to sit...

boilerchick, I agree with you about anecdotal evidence, and anything I say about myself and my diet/ results should be treated as such... it works for me, but that's all I can say. I did however answer the original post with overall long term health in mind more than weight loss, and there...

I have read "Good Calories, Bad Calories" and I agree with probably the first 85-90% of the book... all the really well researched and documented parts. I think he goes a bit overboard in recommending a diet 100% devoid of carbohydrates, however I do think it's smart to avoid all refined/...

You can. I have a paragard and I've never had children. It is more difficult to insert - it took about 6 tries and two devices to get mine in, and I won't lie.... it REALLY hurt. I almost passed out. However, after about 30 minutes that subsided to pretty much the level of a normal menstrual...

I just recently got a paragard after being on BCPs for almost 8 years, because I was sick of the contradiction of avoiding eating unnatural or processed foods but popping my synthetic hormones every day. I was a little afraid because I read so many horror stories about looooong periods, heavy...

I have to agree with janie1234. Not to be mean, but collecting government aid because you choose not to work would be totally abusing the system, and even worse in times like this when it's already stretched to the max by people who really can't find work. I don't really know the specifics of...

Thanks for all the advice, everyone. You've given me quite a few directions to explore. About my stride: the thing is, I do strike with my heel, but I think I have a problem with rolling forward onto the front of my foot. I feel an excruciating tension/ pain along the bottom outside of my...

So, I know that there is no "best" shoe, and it's a matter of what works for a person's individual foot. However, I am having a lot of trouble finding running shoes that work for me, so I thought maybe if I describe my feet someone on the board might say "hey,she sounds just like me" and tell me...

We have an amazon.com credit card and we love it. We don't do a lot of flying, so we weren't interested in a frequent flyer card, but you can buy pretty much anything on amazon.com... last year I saved all the gift certificates and did almost all my Christmas shopping on Amazon, and barely...

My brother joined the army a few months ago, and while he was in Basic his cell phone broke. So he and his wife switched numbers, and she brought his broken phone to the Verizon store, along with their three little kids, to try to get it fixed, but she ended up having to buy a new phone (which...

Hey all you steel-cut oat eaters, have you ever tried whole oat groats? I buy them from Earth Fare or a local health food store where they sell them in bulk. They take quite a while to cook, longer than steel-cut, but if you soak them overnight, they only take about 10-15 minutes in the...

Debbie- I'm sorry your friend has hurt your feelings by not coming to your son's party, but I wanted to encourage you not to be too hasty in re-evaluating the friendship. I had a best friend all through high school. We grew apart a little in college, but still stayed good friends, we were...

The Dirty Dozen: How Twelve Supreme Court Cases Radically Expanded Government and Eroded Freedom, by Robert A. Levy and William Mellor. A fascinating book outlining the twelve Supreme Court cases that, in the authors' opinion, have had the biggest impact on undermining our Constitution.
