SF Mayor Gavin Newsome



Hey All

Happy third day of the convention and Happy Birthday to my daughter, Madeline!

I already tried this once and lost all the data so I'm doing it again. Lots of fun photos for you to enjoy. This time I have my camera and NOT just the phone, Regina. : )

Went over to The Big Tent to blog to you. Hung out in the Media Lounge. (If they only knew.) Also visited the Huffington Post Lounge where they have tons of snacks and drinks and vegetarian passed appetizers as well as massages, yoga and facials!

There's a great, green option here where you can go to these bike areas, give them your credit card with no charge, use the bike for the day, and drop off at stations throughout the city. Great stuff.

Visited the MSNBC outpost where they're producing their show. It's just down the street from where I'm staying. You're really close in open air to the on-air talent and guests. They're passing out fans and hats and stuff. It's kind of fun. I always thought those Today Show groupies were kind of strange. What's the point. But it is fun to watch in person what you normally see on the tube.

After that I hooked up with my hosts and walked down the 16th Street Mall. Lots of people and fun things to see and buy. I still haven't hit the vendors. Trying to maintain some discipline here!

Walked down to the Grand Hyatt to try to visit with my Aunt, Anna Eshoo, Congresswoman from the Silicon Valley before heading to her delegation party. They wouldn't even let me in the hotel to call her room and head up. So I met her down at the Grant Humphreys Mansion, a turn of the 20th century former governor's mansion reminiscent of many of our (KC's) beautiful homes.

Anna has served the country since '92 and it's easy to see why. Her warm greeting and sincere fondness for her constituents is evident to all. She fluidly and graciously integrated a message about the history of the mansion with why we were all there and the importance of it all. Thanks for your generous hospitality, Aunty Anna. I love you!

I had the pleasure of reconnecting with my sister April's good friend, Paul Romness. We hopped in his car driven by Frank, an extremely bright and adept intern who is gifted in multi-tasking. He was able to manage the traffic, streets, directions while navigating through his PDA and talking on the phone. Frank and his kind leave me hopeful about our future.

We hit Earls for the Wine and Beer distributors party. Haven't had a Guiness on tap in a long time. Delicious. Then we caught a rickshaw/pedi-cab (not sure what they call them here) to the Convention. I was lucky enough to get a Floor/Delegate pass. The ride was great, open-air, and daring. The pedi-cabs can weave in and out of the free shuttles that go up and down 16th. No cars or taxis are allowed. Fortunately for the "drivers", it's very flat downtown.

He dropped us off at the entrance to the Pepsi Center. But, let me tell you, that was just the beginning. There was a mob, I mean line, to get past security. Not being a big fan of crowds, I went to one of the 4 bus lines that take you to another security area which was, by the way, thorough, quick and about 5 times bigger than the place where everyone else was. However, the ridiculous bus lines kept us waiting a good half hour. It was so stupid. The large security area you couldn't get to and the small security area was WAY too small.

Anyway, finally got to the building and onto the Floor. I'll try to express how I felt walking into the packed stadium surrounded by the press and all my fellow democrats. I may has well have been 10 and going to Disneyland!! Looking up and around the sights just blew me away. I struggled through the crowds and found the MO and CA sections right next to each other. They had really good placement. TX was in the nose bleed section, as well they should be. Sorry Jane.

I found and greeted my buddy, Yolanda Wheat, and her two sons Christopher and Nicholas. Wow. Have they grown since I last saw them. They are becoming amazing young men, with great manners by the way.

Then I found Kelvin and Sarah, successful delegate candidates and convention buddies.

Of course I couldn't find a seat so I stood the entire time watching most of the convention from a big-screen tv in the halls where they sell t-shirts and snacks. I was hanging with a handful of guys enjoying our special hallway camaraderie. As usual, the trend was set and, by the time Hillary finished her excellent speech, we were surrounded by 50 or so fellow watcher and the stadium seated had nothing on us. We were cheering in the halls and thoroughly enjoying ourselves. I guess we were a spectacle because no fewer than three film crews and cameramen were filming us. Go figure.

After the speech, everyone started pouring out of the stands. I saw Dave Helling from The KC Star looking for delegates to interview. I sent him in the direction of Alternate, Aimee Gromowski. It was crazy, interviews everywhere: Gavin Newsome, Mayor of SF, Former Governors Gray Davis of CA and Bob Holden of MO, etc. etc.

Then, on the way back to the buses, I see actress Jorja Fox who played Sara Sidle on CSI. So fun. I heard there were numerous celebs leaving the CA delegation area, but I think they were probably in some VIP area.

Got to go to the MO delegation party sponsored by numerous MO companies. Lovely food and a "big" band. No dancing. Oh well. But got to visit with Gerard Grimaldi, former buddy from the Wheat campaign. And Richard Martin, all that and more. Emmanuel Cleaver welcomed us and introduced Congressmen Ike Skelton and Russ Carnahan, and Senator Claire McCaskill.

But, I didn't want to make it too late of a night so I caught a cab and got home at just after 1 a.m. My cabbie, Mark, was a great conversationalist and we got into it on the way home. Happy to say we were on the same page.

What a fabulous day. See you tomorrow.

Quite a few advertisement in media [of] a period of that promise degradation of body weight till some kilograms in just some weeks. Or, with acupuncture, inhale fat, drink herbals, drink green tea, etc.So variety techniques that can be conducted, exactly often make people confuse, maximum way the most effective.According to dr.

Suggested, that sport have the shape of combination of burden practice and aerobik.Must reach practice zoneIn doing physical exercise, according to Sadoso, that must paid attention is practice intensity, the duration practice, and practice frequency. Measuring of practice intensity for sport aerobic, like run, run on site, swim, cycle, cycle stationary, by foot, and others can be known from pulse. By count/calculate pulse, can be known whether practice intensity already enough or still less.Pulse can be counted/calculated by grope wrist uses the index finger and middle finger. Maximal Pulse that may be reached by is 220 minus age (in year). Better we exercise till pulse between 70 pin-cushions 85% from maximal pulse (ideally 72 pin-cushions 87%). Number between 70 pin-cushions 85% this maximal pulse is called zone goals or practice zone.If exercise with intensity below/under 70% from maximal pulse, will less show its benefit. Usually we oppositely/also will get heavy because passion excitement eats will be big. Exercise skip over 85% maximal pulse even also may not, he/she said. For example, You 45 year better exercise till pulse between 126 pin-cushions 152 every minute that mean has entered practice zone.In order to practice there is its influence to heart and blood circulation, better practice is conducted to reaches practice zone and continued to stay in that zone [at] least 20 pin-cushions 45 minute. [at] least practice Frequency three day a week. For that fatness can 5 pin-cushions 6 day a week. According to Sadoso, by foot is one of most safe sport, burn quite a lot calorie, easy, and cheap.DontDescent of body weight of course must together with healthy also fit body condition. In consequence, healthy diet to slim body, according to Sadoso, may not too tightened. For woman dont be below/under 1.200 calorie and mans are not below/under 1.500 calories.Dr. Leane, M.Sc., nutritionist from Christian University Indonesia, Jakarta, offer easy way and practical for that. For example, eliminate habit eating snackl, especially powdered snack and have the sugar of high. Familiarize eat every three hour once, but balanced input and output-its (food portion that consumed well-balanced with activity portion conducted). Limit food have the carbohydrate of high like rice, potato, cassava, parsnip and food from wheat. Nevertheless, meaningless to be stopped at all because body needs energy from carbohydrate for metabolism of substances resolving alias food.Lessen eat food of protein source like fish, soybean cake, tofu, fleshes, neednt. By limiting intake of carbohydrate, protein and fat not easy broken because its billows energy less until not many that heaped in body. Fruits that not contain much carbohydrates but juicy kinds of papaw, starfruit, plantain, jambu, apple is very suggested. But lessen sweet fruit consumption like mango, watermelon, grape, mango because frequently contain fructose that will become glucose in blood.Merely example, pattern eats Ina (16) could probably imitated. With this pattern its body weight that initially 76 kgs with high 158 cms can decrease 16 pin-cushions 17 kgs in tempo a two year. Morning, she only eats rasher knows and one boiled egg, plus a glass of tasteless milk without fat. Noon its day eats rice (3 pin-cushions 4 spoons) and vegetable, flesh rasher or fish, soybean cake, tofu.Her night not eats rice at all, only vegetable is added a few/little vegetables. Eat vegetable it is true very suggested if someone want to emaciates body, say Leane. Because, vegetable makes us easy fully filled, durable, and low calorie. One of fructose low fruit type may be enhanced in between hour eats if still peckish. Frequently drink white water and medicine consumption amphetamine with certain dose. This Medicine lessens desire eats. Nevertheless, if head are felt dizzy or heart palpitates during drink amphetamine, immediately take counsel with doctor.To fulfill energy need, body fat is broken become energy. That way body fat decreases and body weight becomes go down. In order to faster body, Ina conducts any sport taken a fancy to. According to Leane, ideal weight degradation every a week around 0,5 pin-cushions 1,5 kgs.Degradation of body weight dont untimely, say both doctor referred [as]. If till weight go down 5 kgs in three day, for example, weight degradation shows quick succeed, but weight will be quick go up next. Increase oppositely/also quicker and descent of growing tardy. This called yoyo syndrome, thin and fat each other until blood pressure even also will be quick go up, that of course affect negative make heart.For adult of body weight differentiated to the normal body weight (BBN) and ideal body weight (BBI). BBN man and woman after 35 year is height of body (centimetre) lessened 100. Whereas BBI are obtained/got by lessen BBN as high as 10%-its.Next there is other directive so-called Body Mass Index (BMI). This index are obtained/got from division of body weight (kilogram) by value of height of body square (metre). According to US National Health Institute, BMI excellent way of predict ideal weight. At desired index number woman between 21 -23 and man 22 pin-cushions 24. Excess of body weight at woman happened if index number reaches number 27,5, whereas at man 28,5. If has reached 31,5 (at woman) or 33 (at man), then fatness has reached serious phase.Program of body weight degradation must combined with sport, because according to both that expert, with just food diet in the reality reducing body weight not all because of dwindle it fat (63%) but also our muscle of flesh alias (37%). If muscle network more and more decreases, calorie need become slimmer and metabolism speed becomes lower until easy get heavy [again]. Next Addition, if eroded continued, muscle will shrink and our body condition will not stabilize.Medicine Caution promiscuously!Degradation of body weight with that sport and diet its requirement high discipline. It is not strange if many people prefer to cuts compass. For example, with technique of inhale fat.This Way, according to Sadoso, can help slim body, but if pattern eats not to alter, easy body get heavies next. Next Addition, inhalation that repeatedly will leave ex needle pricking. According to Sadoso, this way also impossible can minimize parts of certain for example big calf. Because, at natural fatness weight and body size usually prorated. More than anything else if [it is true] its bone big.In other hand, also because sweet talk of medicine advertisement or ingredient slimming. That Medicine or ingredient generally have the character of diuretic that make its drunkard often urinates. Thus, descent of body weight are more caused by reduce of fluid in body pass urine until size of body cells shrink. If this continue, body of water insuffiency (dehydration) or kidney function is bothered. In consequence,, according to experts health, we must take a care by such medicine. Leane enhances, medicine diuretic is not used for children and adolescent.Medicine it would be immediately marketed in Europe and also America. Nevertheless, marketing permit in THE UNITED STATES has been delayed after a number of health experts question there is tidaknya cancercous risk bosom. Despitefully, according to Annette Braun from Organisasi Pangan and Obat-obatan Germany, that substance follows destroy fatty acid, vitamin A, D, and E that required body.No any medicine consumption antigemuk maybe wise action. Will be better if take counsel with expert doctor if will slim body.
