My first video on my new Flip TV Mino is of Dr. Linda Shapiro of ProActive Health in Denver. Dr. Shapiro is an M.D. and a Ph.D, and an expert in nutrition and fitness.

The topic: How to maintain stamina and your diet while in Denver for the Democratic National Convention.

Note on the audio: My voice came out so much louder than Dr. Shapiro's. I tried to adjust the audio in editing, and was mostly successful except for the last five seconds when it sounds like I'm shouting. Oh well, hopefully I'll improve during the week to come.

This is an open thread.

    More fuel for the VP fire. (5.00 / 1) (#5)
    by Rhouse on Thu Aug 21, 2008 at 07:06:30 PM EST
    From the local ABC station in Philly, a poll in which 46% of the people think Obama will chose Hillary.  I really wonder what's going to happen this Sat. when he announces his choice of the not-Hillary.  And for Jeralyn, Biden comes in a not too distant second.

    I agree (none / 0) (#12)

    and BTD has mention this before as well. I think a not insignificant portion of the 52% of Hillary supporters who say they will support Obama are assuming that Hillary will be the VP. When she's not, there may be a small drop in the polls. But it may be offset by the bounce of the VP pick or at least the bounce of the convention.

    I think we won't know the numbers until about a week after the repub convention when they settle down a bit. Then there may be a better assessment of what both VP choices mean.

    The school shooting here in Knoxville is so sad. (5.00 / 2) (#6)

    I just saw the minister from the church where the recent shooting took place on the news. His son goes to school there and he was waiting to drop him off. My step-daughter that lives with me spent all day in lock down (not her school). Two families have been destroyed today. How does a kid just walk into a cafeteria with a gun?

    it scared the crap out of me. This kid had had an argument on the school bus with the other boy, so he brought a gun to school (on the bus) and shot him in the cafeteria right in front of the other kids. He died right there.

    Can you just imagine if he had started shooting on the bus? He just walked out of the school and the police caught him in about five minutes. They locked down all the high schools. They showed the kids being picked up by their parents and it was just so sad.

    What ever happened to the good old fashioned fist fight and then suspending the 2 boys.

    Did they say where he got the gun?

    That's just so sad.

    I don't know where he got it. I assumed all (none / 0) (#24)

    the schools had metal detectors, but I guess not. Unreal. He lived in really poor and kind of unsafe area so who knows what kind of problems he had to just lose it like that. I guess he planned it all out though since he brought a gun to school.

    has spent at least a half hour on "Obama VP Watch."  Meanwhile, the Guardian seems to think Kathleen Kennedy will be Obama's Ambassador to the UK.

    stuck in traffic coming back from court in the mountains. He said on Sirius he heard Sean Hannity recommend McCain make Lieberman either Secretary of State or Secretary of Defense.

    oh yea, I'd take Hannity's advice (none / 0) (#13)

    that guy is totally nuts. You might want to warn TL Kid that listening to Sean can be harmful to your mental health. :-)

    Err... extremely hazardous.

    Like talking on the phone without hands-free, or eating, shaving or applying make-up while driving.

    I went out at 6 and the VP wasn't announced.

    I will soon go out again, and maybe it'll happen this time.

    safe for me to leave the computer and TV to give my dogs a bath? I'm like andgarden, as soon as I'm away from the news, it will happen.
