Traditional apple cider vinegar is found in liquid form. To be most efficient it is recommended that an organic liquid be used. This liquid is the result of a long fermentation process and contains "the mother". "The mother" is sediment consisting of acetic bacteria and enzymes. Vinegar produced in the United States must be 4 percent acidic. In Europe, the numbers vary by region with cider vinegar being 5 percent to 6 percent acetic acid. Apple cider vinegar is also widely available in tablet form. Tablets are advertised as a popular natural weight loss supplement due to their ability to make you feel full. Tablets are a processed form of apple cider vinegar, and potentially other ingredients, which dissolve in your stomach. Read labels carefully and purchase a reputable brand. A study by the University of Arkansas determined that many tablets advertised as apple cider vinegar supplements do not actually contain apple cider vinegar.

Olympic Track Field Trials in Eugene, Oregon. It was a bit of a journey into nostalgia. boycotted the Moscow Games. I wondered if Eugene enthusiasm for track and field had dimmed over the years, along with the memory of Steve Prefontaine electrifying races at , the University of Oregon track. died in a solo car crash hours after his last race on May 30, 1975. Bill Bowerman, the legendary Oregon coach who introduced the fun running lifestyle from New Zealand to the Pacific Northwest, creating a jogging boom that spread across the nation, has also passed on. The sport he loved has been dragged through the mud by numerous drug scandals. On my arrival last Thursday, one of the first things I noticed was that the city is teeming with joggers. They were thick on Pre Trail, a wooded path along the Willamette River where the pride of Oregon used to tread. At an amphitheatre on the other side of the river, blues fans nodded and danced throughout a concert featuring Taj Mahal and Keb Mo. My idea for a song: Fourth Place Blues. Olympic team. Let the Trials begin. Eugene is pollen country, as I was reminded when I started sneezing. It can be compared to the start of a race: your marks (ah ah ah ah) set (aaaaaaah) go (choo)! the Trials got under way, it was evident that Eugene is determined to validate its claim as Town USA. A capacity crowd of more than 20,000 thronged into Hayward Field on a day when there would be only one final: the women 10,000 meters. Every ticket has been sold for all eight days of the Trials signifying a total attendance exceeding 160,000 in a city not much bigger than Santa Barbara. Several thousand more people showed up at a free outdoor festival next to the stadium, watching the action on big video screens. Hayward Field has a new look for these Trials: a state of the art track surface, video enhanced scoreboards at each end of the stadium, and expanded seating. But most the distinctive feature is a familiar one: The sound of the fans clapping rhythmically when jumpers and throwers step up to perform. can feel the crowd, said Noah Bryant, a shot putter from Santa Barbara. throwers. Competing for USC, he won the NCAA championship in 2007. But he faces a powerful trio in the Trials: two time Olympic silver medalist Adam Nelson, world champion Reese Hoffa, and mountainous Christian Cantwell. All three have heaved the iron ball past 73 feet. Bryant best is 67 throwers lined up to vie for 12 spots in Sunday finals. The three favorites qualified easily. Bryant came in ninth with a toss of 64 in a good place, he said hopefully. can have fun and just do it. There so much pressure on the top three. Emmen was caught in a quadruple bind. The former UCSB half miler was in a preliminary heat of the men 800 meters that included four runners from the Oregon Track Club. Home based athletes seem to get an extra boost from the crowd. After a slow first lap, Emmen found himself trailing the Oregon four, and although he ran the final 400 in 53 seconds, he could not get past them. Thus ended Emmen brave attempt to achieve Olympic form a year after he was stunned by the death of his father. Duane Solomon of Lompoc and USC had a better ride. The former state prep champion from Cabrillo High qualified for the semifinals in the day third fastest time, 1:47.35. Stephanie Rothstein moved to Eugene last summer after she completed a storied career as a UCSB distance runner, setting Big West records in the women 5,000 and 10,000 meters. She has set her sights on the Olympic marathon in 2012. In the meantime, she qualified for the Trials 10,000, and she ran it with her usual determination. was picking people off, said Rothstein, who finished 12th in the field of 24. Her time was 33 minutes, 22.86 seconds. Thousands cheered the women throughout the race and the victory lap of the first Olympic qualifiers, Shalane Flanagan, Kara Goucher, and Amy Begley. living the dream, Rothstein said. She has overcome the anemia problems that beset her at UCSB and has been training under the guidance of Brad Hudson, coach of Olympic marathoner Dathan Ritzenheim. No also ran blues for Stephanie. If it wasn Track Town, Eugene might be known as Green Town. A block away from Hayward Field, bicycles and skateboards receive valet parking. There are receptacles all over town for recyclables and which include food items, dirty paper plates, and plastic utensils. can tell the people from out of town: They throw everything into the trash, commented a Trials volunteer. Inside the stadium, things were heating up literally. The temperature climbed to 96 degrees late in the afternoon, as if the beefy shot putters did not have enough reason to sweat when their hour of reckoning came. Hoffa fouled on his first attempt. Nelson and Cantwell got off subpar throws. But Noah Bryant was unable to take advantage. He opened with a heave of 64 and topped out at 65 on his sixth and final throw. In the end, the big boys came through Hoffa putting 72 Cantwell 71 while Nelson best of 68 was just good enough. great athletes, but I should have risen to the occasion, a disappointed Bryant said. Hoffa, a bear of a man who fancies turkey drumsticks, said he took deep breath in relief after winning the competition. know you made one of the hardest teams in the world to make. He exploded into the lead but, misjudging the finish line, he shut down with 30 meters to go. The rest of the field closed on Gay, who had to rally to finish fourth and move on. Two and a half hours later, in the quarterfinals, a chastened Gay kept the pedal to the metal and streaked across the finish line in 9.77 seconds, a new American record. The women sprinters. who started a day earlier, had a sizzling 100 final. Five of them broke 11 seconds, led by surprise winner Muna Lee in 10.85. Torri Edwards and Lauryn Williams chased her home, the latter admitting with some reluctance that a healthy diet had made her quicker. Said Williams: cheesy, and sweet that me. The competition was noteworthy for the absence of drama infused into the previous Olympic Trials by Marion Jones, the diva dethroned by doping. done a good job stepping into the limelight and giving you something else to talk about, Williams said. Hyleas Fountain of Dayton, Ohio, achieved the greatest American performance in the women heptathlon since world record holder Jackie Joyner Kersee retired. Hitting five personal bests including a hurdle time of 12.65 that broke Kersee record and a long jump of 22 Fountain scored 6,667 points. performer behind Kersee (7,291 in 1988) and Santa Barbara Jane Frederick (6,803 in 1984). was bawling like a little baby when I got done, Fountain said. was fourth in 2004. You almost rather finish last. June 29 The first order of business was to find a pub televising the Euro 2008 soccer final. The East 19th Street Cafe, a block from Hayward Field, fit the bill. So did the result: Spain 1, Germany 0. The Spaniards played an attractive, relentlessly attacking style of soccer throughout the tournament, and against the Germans they proved their toughness too. It was their first major championship in 44 years, so they no longer have to refer to Spanish Days when they talk about their international football success. My interest in soccer is not shared by the denizens of Track Town. In fact, they point to the growing popularity of soccer as one of the reasons for the decline of interest and participation in their favorite sport. Certainly a player like Fernando Torres, who scored Spain goal while beating a defender to the ball and hurdling the goalkeeper, might be a world class track athlete. In America, however, I say that basketball sweeps up more potential sprinters and jumpers than any other sport. On the track this day, Tyson Gay recorded the number heard the world: 9.68. It was the fastest a human being has ever run 100 meters, although it will not count as a world record because of the aiding wind (4.1 meters per second, twice the allowable limit). Obadele Thompson of Barbados ran a gale aided 9.69 in 1996. The official world record of 9.72 was set by Jamaica towing 6 sprinter Usain Bolt on May 31, a race in which Gay was a rather distant runner up (9.85). Coming as it did in his fourth race in two days a regimen the sprinters will face in the Olympics Gay performance bodes well for his chances in Beijing. think it going to shake up the world a little bit, said Darvis Patton. make some noise. Patton (9.84) finished third in the 100 and Randall Dix (9.80) second. Gay, a sleek but not skinny 6 footer from Arkansas, belies the stereotype of the boastful, trash talking speed merchant. He prefers to look at his races in an analytical way. He felt his 9.77 on Saturday was superior to the 9.68 because he managed to stay relaxed all the way. is the key to success in track and field, Gay said. Leave it to Jon Drummond, known for his chops as a sprint spokesman, to give a flamboyant take on Gay: needs some re entry glasses. We need to get some kind of flame retardant uniform in case he catches on fire, he running so fast. And maybe a parachute to slow him down after he finishes. Oregon athletic facilities have been spruced up the impact of Nike chairman Phil Knight, a UO grad, is seen all over the campus but not so the fraternity house that was the seedy habitat of the Delts in the 1978 movie Animal House. It has been torn down and replaced by an office building. There is a commemorative plaque at the site where Bluto (John Belushi) and his pals performed various gross acts. Serious Oregon students would rather project an image of social activism, and to that end, Camp Darfur is set up in the middle of the campus. The temporary settlement calls attention to the genocide in Sudan and China complicity in it. But there is no significant movement to boycott the Olympics this time around. In the late Jim Murray words, using sport as a weapon in geopolitical warfare is like throwing against a battleship. Four of the Trials brought more excitement to the home folks. Finishing 1 2 3 in the finals of the men 800 were Nicholas Symmonds (1:44.10) of the Oregon Track Club, OU sophomore Andrew Wheating, and the OTC Christian Smith, who edged four time national champion Khadevis Robinson by diving across the finish line. The crowd unleashed the loudest roar of the competition. Duane Solomon had a rough time of it, finishing sixth in 1:45.78. wanted to run up with the leaders, but every time I got close, I get spiked or tripped, he said. Solomon moved outside on the turns to avoid trouble. did a lot of work, more than 800 meters worth, he said. With 200 to go, Solomon was in third. was right there in front of my face. But his energy was flagging, and the runners who had laid back went charging past him. it had been a clean race, I would have had a good chance, Solomon concluded. Former Dos Pueblos High athlete Kaylene Wagner had a cameo role in the women high jump. She went out with three misses at the opening height of 5 She was not surprised. been injured all year, the Kansas State graduate said. Bryan Clay ended two days of hard labor by piling up 8,832 points in the decathlon. It was 12 more points than he scored winning the silver medal at the 2004 Olympics. And Bernard Legat spurted away to victory in the men 5,000 with a big smile on his face, assuring his first appearance as an Olympian in his adopted country. loonpt on "Anti Vaxxers on the Rise" That not true at all blah, I a chemtrail chasing truther but I am not a non vaxxer or an anti vaxxer.

That all changed Wednesday night in his 22nd appearance. Backup catcher Chris Stewart's single keyed a three run burst in the ninth inning against Rodriguez and sent the Pittsburgh Pirates past Milwaukee 4 1, ending the Brewers' three game winning streak. Rodriguez (1 1) hadn't given up more than two hits in a game until the Pirates tagged him for four consecutive hits to beat the Brewers for only the second time in nine games. "Unfortunately, it wasn't my day," he said. "I didn't perform at the level I was expecting or everyone else was expecting. You just have to turn the page quick and be ready for the next day." Rodriguez has had a heavy workload over the first quarter of the season and his changeup, which dominated hitters in the early part of the year, has been up in the strike zone the past couple of games. Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said he doesn't think his closer is tiring. "I think his fastball is still really good," Roenicke said. "Actually, his fastball is getting better. His changeup isn't as good, he has just been up in the zone with it." Milwaukee managed only six hits and went 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position minus Carlos Gomez. The star centre fielder dropped his appeal Wednesday and began a three game suspension for his part in a bench clearing fracas at Pittsburgh on Easter Sunday. "We didn't swing the bat that well," Roenicke said. It was 1 all in the ninth when Ike Davis singled past diving first baseman Mark Reynolds in the Pittsburgh ninth and Jordy Mercer singled sharply to centre. Stewart, making only his eighth start of the season, then singled to centre. The throw from Gomez's replacement, Elian Herrera, was wide of the plate, allowing pinch runner Clint Barmes to score without a play and snap a 1 all tie. "It was a big swing of the bat for us," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. Starling Marte, playing for the first time since exiting Saturday with tightness in his back, then hit a two run double to the centre field wall. Tony Watson (4 0) pitched a scoreless eighth. Mark Melancon worked the ninth for his fifth save in six chances. Pittsburgh won for just the fifth time in 16 road games. Pirates starter Francisco Liriano rebounded from two straight mediocre outings, but remained winless in nine starts. He received his fifth consecutive no decision after allowing one run on four hits and a walk while striking out seven in six innings. Milwaukee starter Wily Peralta had another strong outing, giving one run on five hits and a walk while striking out four in seven innings. The right hander received a no decision but lowered his ERA to 2.05 in eight starts. Herrera went 0 for 4 and grounded out to strand Khris Davis at third in a 1 all game to end the seventh. NOTES: Brewers LHP Tom Gorzelanny threw two scoreless innings in his first rehab start for Single A Brevard County against Fort Myers in the Florida State League. He allowed a hit and a walk while striking out one while coming back from off season surgery on his left shoulder. Men Nike Free Run 5.0 Turquoise Volt Fiberglass Anthracite In the 19th century trade and manufacturing processes brought innovations to shoes that were both practical and attractive. Before the mass production of the Industrial Revolution, shoes for both right and left feet were the same. The 1880's saw the beginning of shoes made specifically for the right or left foot. Shoes had, in the past, been hand made by shoe makers, but new technologies brought about standardized sizes and widths. Due to changes in manufacturing, shoes became both more available and affordable. As technology advanced, women were able to obtain more pairs of shoes, and a greater variety of footwear. Manufacturers introduced shoes for sport, for specific athletic activities, and shoes that could match any outfit. And after a disappearance of a thousand years,due to modesty constraints, the sandal came back in a big way. Women's Shoes of the 19th CenturyWhile small, delicate pumps were worn for evening wear and dressy occasions, the primary footwear of the 19th century was the boot. As factories sprung up during the Industrial Revolution, a new longing for the natural landscape drew the elite to country homes. Walking became a popular recreational activity and boots became a necessity. Adelaides were British, side laced boots Garibaldi boots were elastic sided boots Balmorals were front laced boots that were popular for men and women and have retained their popularity to this day. Despite the popularity of delicate kid slippers for dress, the strength and durability of boots made them a mainstay for nearly a century. Button boots were popular mid century due to their tight fit, which made them attractive, flattering to the foot and ankle, and very elegant. The early 1800's saw low heels (as shown on right) which began to rise as the century wore on. In the late 19th century, the United States was able to produce shoes cheaply and became a world leader int he production of footwear well into the 20th century. Wood Soled Shoes Clogs, Pattens, and SabotClogs, pattens, and the French sabot had been worn since the Middle Ages by workers and peasants. The high wood soled shoes lifted the foot above cold roads, as well as mud, puddles, and dampness. Pattens were a type of slip on over shoe consisting of wood or metal that strapped on over a shoe or boot for walking outdoors in wet weather. They could also be worn for indoor chores such as wet mopping a floor. In Elizabeth Gaskells' famous biography of Charlotte Bronte, she mentions that Charlotte's Aunt Branwell wore her pattens indoors because of the cold stone floors, creating quite a racket when she walked. Tradition has it that irate workers used their wood soled shoes (sabot) to wreck machinery in factories, giving us the word 'sabotage.' History of the SneakerAn early form of the sneaker, or tennis shoe was developed in England. The 1830's saw the introduction of shoes made by fusing canvas with vulcanized rubber. This treated rubber was an improvement over plain rubber which cracked and became brittle with cold. Called 'sand shoes' because they were worn at the beach, the upper shoe was fastened with a T strap and buckle. In the mid 19th century, the 'croquet shoe' had a vulcanized rubber sole but was fastened with laces. These early sneakers were more comfortable than stiff soled leather boots, and were cooler, thanks to the cotton canvas uppers. In the 1880's, the rubber sole was brought up in the front over the toe to prevent the big toe from tearing the canvas. It was not until 1917 that the word 'sneaker' came into use by advertising, the term coined because they were noiseless in comparison to leather shoes. Sneakers, popular sports, casual, and day wear shoes evolved in the 20th century into many types of athletic shoes. Keds, America's first mass marketed sneaker appeared n 1917, the same year that Marquis Converse introduced the Converse All Star, a high topped basketball shoe. Charles H. Taylor, a well known basketball player, liked Converse's sneaker so much, that he became involved in the marketing and promotion of the shoes. In 1923, his name appeared on the shoe's ankle. People nicknamed the popular athletic shoe Chucks, after Taylor, a style that is widely popular today. Early 20th Century ShoesFor most of the 19th century, shoes came in black, brown, white, and tan. But in the 1920's, what with shorter skirts and highly visible shoes, evening footwear was produced in colors, though the old colors were a mainstay for day wear. As hemlines rose during and after World War I, the gap between the boot top and skirt appeared unsightly, and women began to wear Mary Janes with low, curved heels. Bathing shoes began to bare more of the instep and in the late 1920's low heeled sandals were worn with beach pajamas. Despite the Great Depression, a shoe fashion explosion took place in the 1930's, with spectator pumps, oxfords, and brogues. Sandals, worn in ancient times, had slipped out of fashion for over a thousand years because they were thought to be immodest. But, the 1930's saw the return of the sandal. Platform types shoes were revived with cork soled wedgies. High heels bared the instep in cute little shoes made of leather or silk. The outbreak of World War II resulted in restrictions on the use of the leather needed by the military. Wood, cork soles, and uppers made of fake leather, canvas, and raffia filled in for the lack of leather. The rationing of materials for shoe production also created a demand for sandals and espadrilles, as well as peep toe, or open toed pumps. The alternative styles remained popular for the rest of the century and on into the 21st century. Sight changes in women's dress shoes included taller heels and the revival of the Italian heel or stiletto, popular into the late 1950's. Shoes in the Late 20th and Early 21st CenturyIn the 1960's, a new desire for comfort and healthy feet damaged the popularity of high heels. Tall stiletto heels shoved the foot forward, pressing into the pointy toes and caused bunions and hammer toes. Walking proved dangerous in the high heels and women turned and broke ankles. Boots made a comeback as well with pull on Cossack type boots and short white boots called Go Go boots, worn with mini skirts for dancing. The 1970's saw the return of the wedgie and platform type shoes. But unlike in the past, fashion did not dictate a few particular styles. Women wore all kinds of shoes, drawn by new advances in comfort as well as celebrity mass marketing campaigns. The same applies today. Though pointy toed stilettos have returned, all styles are in vogue. Retro revival provides a view into the history of shows. Visit almost any shoe store to see Balmoral type front lace up boots, gladiator sandals, flip flops, polka dot peep toe pumps, moccasins, clogs, and Chuck Taylors in all colors and variations.
