Paroxetine (Paxil) is widely used in the United States. It is most often prescribed for depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, panic disorder, premenstrual syndrome, and anger management. While Paxil is effective in treating these disorders, it has been associated with sexual problems.
How Paroxetine Works:
Paroxetine is one of a class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). These medications work blocking the reuptake of the brain chemical serotonin, which helps regulate mood.
Other Drugs of This Class (SSRIs):
- Fluoxetine (Prozac)
- Sertraline (Zoloft)
- Fluvoxamine (Luvox)
- Citalopram (Celexa)
***Please Note: On March 22, 2004, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Public Health Advisory that cautions physicians, patients, families and caregivers of patients with depression to closely monitor both adults and children receiving certain antidepressant medications. The FDA is concerned about the possibility of worsening depression and/or the emergence of suicidal thoughts, especially among children and adolescents at the beginning of treatment, or when there is an increase or decrease in the dose. The medications of concern - mostly SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors) - are: Prozac (fluoxetine), Zoloft (sertraline), Paxil (paroxetine), Luvox (fluvoxamine), Celexa (citalopram); Lexapro (escitalopram), Wellbutrin (bupropion), Effexor (venlafaxine), Serzone (nefazodone), and Remeron (mirtazapine). Of these, only Prozac (fluoxetine) is approved for use in children and adolescents for the treatment of major depressive disorder. Prozac (fluoxetine), Zoloft (sertraline), and Luvox (fluvoxamine) are approved for use in children and adolescents for the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder. For more information, please visit http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/antidepressants.
Possible Sexual Side Effects Associated With Paroxetine:
- Decreased sexual desire
- Difficulty reaching orgasm, especially in women
- Erection impairment in men
- Loss of lubrication in women
How It Causes Sexual Problems:
It is not yet clear how SSRIs affect sexual function. The effects are believed to be related to the increased level of serotonin, which may affect sexual reflex centers.
Treatment Options:
There are a number of alternative treatment options available if you are dissatisfied with your sexual functioning while taking Paroxetine. But it is important to talk with your doctor about your concerns first. Although it can be very difficult and embarrassing to discuss your sexual functioning, it's crucial that you communicate with your doctor about your sexual functioning. Never make any changes to your medication regimen or start taking new medications or herbal supplements without your doctor's knowledge and approval. Here are some possibilities that you and your doctor may decide to have you try:
Wait it out
As you adjust to your new medication, the sexual side effects may go away.
Decrease the dosage
This tactic will work occasionally, but carries the risk of a relapse of the depression or disorder. Never change your dosage without checking with your physician first.
Switch medications
Since the medical response to SSRIs and other drugs to treat these disorders can vary among people, a physician will consider the severity of your depression or disorder as well as your response to the drug before switching to another. When switching is appropriate, your three main options are:
Bupropion (Wellbutrin)—This medication does not affect serotonin. It is unlikely to cause sexual dysfunction and may actually have prosexual effects. However, it is not recommended for people with eating disorders, panic disorders, seizure disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorders.
Nefazodone (Serzone)—This is an SSRI, but it blocks only one of the serotonin receptors, whereas other SSRIs block several. It can be used to treat each of the disorders paroxetine is indicated for and has been found to cause fewer sexual side effects.
Mirtazapine (Remeron)—This drug is similar to nefazodone, but without as much scientific proof behind it.
Try an antidote
This involves maintaining your current level of paroxetine, while adding a second medication to offset the sexual side effects. However, except for drugs in the Viagra family, there are no proven antidotes. Furthermore, these medications can also cause side effects. The four drugs most commonly recommended as antidotes are:
Bupropion (Wellbutrin)—This is the most commonly used and most effective antidote. However, there is only minimal evidence that it is effective, and some evidence that it is not. Bupropion is not recommended for people with eating disorders, panic disorders, seizure disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorders. Side effects include anxiety, delirium, myoclonus (irregular involuntary contraction of a muscle), uncontrolled hypertension, nausea, headache, dizziness, fatigue, constipation, diarrhea, drowsiness, and hypotension. Combined use of bupropion and SSRI antidepressants can also increase risk of seizures.
Buspirone (BuSpar)—The use of buspar as an antidote for the sexual side effects of SSRIs is based entirely on unreliable anecdotes. This drug should not be taken in doses exceeding 30 mg/day. Buspirone is generally safe, although the potential side effects include: sedation, akathisia (uncontrollable motor restlessness), dizziness, insomnia, nervousness, GI disturbance, nausea, and headache.
Sildenafil (Viagra) and related drugs—Medications in the Viagra family are believed to be helpful for the male sexual side effects of SSRIs. There is no evidence, however, that these medications help sexual dysfunction in women, and some evidence that they do not help.
Amantadine (Symmetrel)—Several case reports indicate that amantadine is an effective antidote for SSRI-related sexual dysfunction, however these amount to little more than testimonials, and are not reliable at all (see discussion of ginkgo below).
Take a drug holiday
This involves taking your usual Thursday morning dose and then nothing again until noon on Sunday. This tactic is unlikely to work with fluoxetine (Prozac) because it takes much longer to make its way out of your body than other SSRIs.
There is also a risk with this technique that you may feel well enough during the short drug holiday to discontinue your medication all together, which can lead to a relapse. Furthermore, short-acting SSRIs like Paxil can produce severe withdrawal symptoms in some people unless they are slowly tapered. Again, discuss this option with your physician before trying it.
Consider herbal supplements
The efficacy of herbal supplements to treat the sexual side effects of SSRIs is not clear. Numerous case reports and uncontrolled studies seemed to show that the herb ginkgo was dramatically effective for both men and women, but when proper double-blind studies were performed, these dramatic cures proved to be no more than a placebo effect.

About the ManufacturerInternational Concepts was founded in 1979 in Greensboro, NC as an unfinished furniture wholesaler, providing furniture to retail stores throughout the Eastern United States. Initially International Concepts only purchased and resold furniture products, however, it soon became obvious that profits and sales could be increased by assembling some of the products at their own facilities. In 1985, International Concepts moved to a 9,000 sq. foot facility in Jamestown, NC while continuing to wholesale unfinished furniture. In 1987, the company started importing chair components and assembling them to sell to unfinished furniture stores. That same year they moved from Jamestown, NC to High Point, NC and leased a 24,000 sq. facility. In 1990, the owners of International Concepts purchased a building in Thomasville, NC and the company moved again. The new building more than tripled available warehouse space. Finished furniture was added to their lineup. In mid 1994, they purchased another large facility in Thomasville which brought total manufacturing, office and warehouse space to well in excess of 200,000 sq. feet. In 2000, International Concepts had almost 400,000 square feet of manufacturing and warehouse space in North Carolina and Arkansas. Today, International Concepts offers a large selection of products such as dining tables, dining chairs, dining sets, counter stools, bar stools, china cabinets and much more! Furnish your space in a traditional and elegant way that will thrive in your home for years to come!

Nice chairs
Paula Freshly from Ohio
These chairs perfectly match my kitchen chairs and look great at counter. The only reason they didn't get 5 starts is because I had to buy different hardware to put the top & bottom together. The bolts that came with the chairs caught on each other and prevented the chair from swiveling. New hardware solved the problem.

Bone-In Lamb Shoulder?
- Will Owen Sep 24, 2011 04:36 PM
I used to get bone-in shoulder roasts fairly frequently in Nashville; I never did find a "butcher" (AKA Meat Department Guy) who could bone one, but although they're hard to carve and have a high bone-to-meat ratio they're so good to eat. Here, on the other hand, I'm finding boned shoulder, both frozen at places like Hawaii Supermarket (from China, about $8/lb) and fresh at Whole Foods (NZ I think, at $7/lb - go figure!). But I cannot find any bone-in shoulders. I've looked at Jon's in Glendale, assuming that a market with a heavily Middle-Eastern/Armenian clientele would have this, but no such luck. I'll start asking what real butchers I know of, but has anyone seen this anywhere on a regular basis? I'm dying to use one in a braise, and I want those bones in there!
This may be out of your area, but Gelson's in Century City has lamb shoulders in the back of the butcher counter. If they are out, they will order for you. And they will crack the bones for easier carving.
So good!
re: chuckychow
I 2nd the SuperKing, and there are two in your area: in Altadena on Lincoln just north of Woodbury and on San Fernando Road just west of the #2 freeway. Parking is horrible.
At times they have actually carried American bone-in lamb.
re: justanotherpenguin
EVERYTHING is horrible on that stretch of San Fernando, but if the Altadena store doesn't have it - and I don't think I've ever seen any lamb there at all - I'll just take my chances. I think I'll try Gelson's and Bristol Farms, just for grins; the latter was where a very nice young butcher happily trimmed and cut three lamb necks for me, and at a giveaway price. Thanks to everyone so far …
re: Will Owen
If you're ever in Mid-City, Marconda Meats at the Farmers Market usually debones it for me when I buy it, so I'm pretty sure they'd be happy to sell it with the bone intact if you ask.
re: bad nono
I adore Marconda. I bought our thermoelectric cooler for the car so that I could buy fish on hot days in the SGV, and those huge 1.5" thick pork steaks from Marconda, without having to worry about getting stuck in traffic. That was of course before gas was $4/gallon …
Nice to know they've got lamb shoulder. If we do that trip to LACMA Mrs. O has been hinting about it could happen. Thanks!
re: Akitist
Kosher butchers on Pico can get you the neck and shoulder with blade.
The Jon's at Hollywood & Vermont often has lamb shoulder. If you don't see it in the cooler, ask at the butcher counter.
Top Value Market on Inglewood Blvd. in Culver City/West L.A. always has bone-in lamb shoulders and their prices are extrermely reasonable in all departments.
re: AAQjr
Jordan Market also has a lot of very good persian-oriented produce and other persian food items including spices, cheeses and yogurts, and baked goods. They are friendly and helpful. There is parking in the alley in back if the street parking is full.
Jordan Market
1449 Westwood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90024
Valley Produce Market (in Simi, Reseda, and Valencia) has bone-in New Zealand lamb shoulder (frozen) for $2.99/lb now through October 5.
Valley Produce
18345 Vanowen St, Los Angeles, CA 91335
Call Alexander's Meats at Howie's in San Gabriel. They break down whole animals, so a shoulder should be no problem.
Huntington Meats in the Farmer's Market will also sell a bone-in lamb shoulder.
Huntington Meats
6333 W 3rd St # 350, Los Angeles, CA

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Modified appliances hint at the menacing undercurrents of everyday life
Most of us use a whole roster of household appliances every day without ever stopping to think about the invisible -- but potentially lethal -- stream of electricity that powers it.
In 1903, Thomas Edison infamously tried to demonstrate the hazards of alternating current, which now powers all of our homes and businesses, by using it to electrocute a circus elephant. Today, sensibly, safety precautions dictate that we keep our energy at a comfortable remove, insulated and grounded, tucked away in walls and ceilings or buried underground.
For most of us, the only reminder of electricity's deadly force comes when we see a baby make a beeline for an unguarded socket, a radio teetering on the edge of the bathtub, or we get a quick shock from a badly wired lamp.
In Vacant Circumstances: this and something else, his solo exhibition at Aceartinc., Dong-Kyoon Nam gives presence to the hidden currents that power our daily lives. By making simple but often startling modifications to commonplace appliances like oscillating fans, vacuum cleaners, and light fixtures, Nam creates a surreal domestic landscape charged as much with psychological dread as with electrical energy.
Just Once consists of two oscillating fans placed "face-to-face." Bound together in a cocoon of what must be dozens of linked white extension cords, which spill onto the floor like the train of a wedding dress, they blow at one another in an uncanny "kiss." The temptation to read the upright fans as mute human figures is overpowering and not at all reassuring.
A related, untitled work installed nearby initially looks like little more than a pile of coiled red extension cords. With the push of a foot pedal, however, we hear the muffled roar of the Shop-Vac hidden inside. The viewer doesn't know in either piece if all of the cables are actually live, though that's the assumption -- that uncertainty lends the unassuming sculptures their subtle, menacing edge.
The remaining works have a similarly surreal, mildly hallucinatory quality that only heightens the exhibition's anxious tone. The Verticals is a group of seven generic-looking floor lamps that Nam has reconfigured, extending their thin supporting columns to untenable lengths, flipping them upside-down and leaning them against the walls in an eerie huddle.
Event Horizon, its title a reference to the "point of no return" approaching a black hole, is chest-height line of illuminated fluorescent lights that slices across one of the long gallery walls. Only as you get closer do you notice the countless battery-powered clocks that line the fixtures, their faces turned toward away from us, inexorably and ominously ticking away.
The only non-powered work, an expansive grid of cast plaster light switches that spreads across the rear of the gallery, conveys a similar sense of inevitability and resignation. The nonfunctioning switches, nearly invisible against the white wall, offer an overwhelming array of false choices. The pillow placed on floor below is either an invitation to lie down and give up or to pray.
Vacant Circumstance's strength is in its subtlety--the assortment of characterless appliances and fixtures makes almost no impression at all, at first. Gradually, however, you notice the faint electrical hum hanging in the air, a faint signal of a vital, vicious energy coursing just below the surface of everyday life.

Illinois Tool Works 3Q profit rises, revenue falls
BY SANDRA GUY Business Reporter email@example.com October 23, 2012 7:38AM
Updated: November 25, 2012 11:34AM
Illinois Tool Works reported a better than expected profit Tuesday but reduced its revenue outlook for the year as the global economy slows.
The Glenview-based industrial equipment maker, which makes fasteners, construction tools and restaurant supplies among other categories, has been roiled by last week's announcement that CEO David Speer was taking a medical leave of absence, and activist shareholder demands that it start acquiring fast-growing companies.
Scott Santi, the acting CEO, president and chief operating officer, gave no further information about Speer's leave during the earnings announcement Tuesday. He told investors that everything is "business as usual."
ITW reported third-quarter earnings of $1.09 a share, besting analysts' expectations of $1.06. Net income increased 3.4 percent to $524 million.
But the company missed revenue projections with a 1.7 percent decline to $4.5 billion, versus analysts' forecasts of $4.57 billion.
The company lowered its 2012 yearly revenue outlook to between $4.06 and $4.14, versus analysts' outlook of $4.11. The previous forecast had ranged from $4.03 per share to $4.19.
Morningstar analyst James Krapfel said ITW is making progress in its previously announced plan to divest 51 percent of its decorative surfaces business and to put strategic leaders into general manager roles.
"Over the past 10 years, ITW's organic growth has been really low — about 1 percent," Krapfel said.
Now that the company's goal is to acquire fast-growing companies likely to be international businesses, ITW may have to pay more because those companies will draw more competitive bidding and larger prices than the slow-growth strategy, Krapfel said.
"Industrial production is a good proxy for ITW's prospects," he said. "Certain markets such as Asia are flowing but things are flattening out."
ITW's shares gained 17 cents, or 0.28 percent, to close at $60.73 Tuesday.

Epic Bars
An active life is a fulfilling life, and part of maintaining an active lifestyle is eating healthy. In an ironic twist, one of the most challenging times to eat well is when you're out exploring. Energy bars do their job, but usually with lots of sugar, saturated fat and other ingredients you can't pronounce. Fractionated palm kernel oil while overlooking the North Kaibab Trail of The Canyon? Pass. Made from organic, humanely-treated beef, bison and turkey (both beef and bison are grass-fed), EPIC bars ($34) are also gluten-free, so those who've gone paleo can enjoy them without Grog turning over in his grave.

Finishing Touch is that little pen shaped hair remover for the light to help remove those pesky hard to reach, unwanted hairs. Apparently good for all those hard to reach places or when you can't use the razor ...upper lip, chin, ankles, knees, nose, ears bikini lines and eyebrows. BTW, I noticed that the Micro Touch Trimmer for men is almost an identical product except that it's grey in color.
This trimmer comes with an LED light and its about the size of a pen, so it's easy to carry in a purse or pocket. It runs on one AAA battery which is not included. You get a special two sided eyebrow comb attachment. One side cuts the brow length short and other long. Plus a guard to keep this mini-shaver from cutting the eyebrow too close. It's actually fairly quiet, since it's small and not that powerful - similar to the sound of an electric toothbrush.
Finishing Touch Claims
Pain-free, cream- free hair removal
Safely removes hair instantly and painlessly
Powerful enough to remove the thickest hair, yet is guaranteed to be safe to the touch
No irritation
No razor bumps
No ingrown hairs
Better than waxing or shaving
Angled head for ease of use
Safe on sensitive skin
Gets to those hard-to-reach places
Won't lighten or remove tans
How Well Does Finishing Touch Really Work?
- Overall it seems to works better on areas where you have longer, finer hair than tougher, shorter hair. This could be why the MicroTouch for guys doesn't seem to work as well since most women have finer hair while guys have courser hair.
- For eyebrows it works better to trim the length of the brow hair as opposed to actually shaping them.
- It's more useful for minimal trim jobs, where you don't have to cut it very close to the skin. It works much better for fine, little hairs in hard to reach places that you can't get at with a regular razor.
Bad Points
- It only trims and doesn't have a close shave like a regular razor would.
- The blade sometimes snags in your hair.
- Some reports that they have received a faulty unit that does not work at all out of the box or ends up not working a month or so after buying it.
- Hard to find replacement blades for the unit.

The Finishing Touch of course isn't meant to be a high quality razor. For around $10 the price is decent. It's available at Walmart and Target if you want to give it a try. If you're used to waxing you might not like the results but if you're using it for minimal trim jobs this trimmer might be for you. Here's another hair straightener...(as if there's not enough on the market) called the Maxiglide. Not to be confused with a feminine hygiene product.

Some have slanted season two of HBO's Flight of the Conchords as sort of weak. Perhaps the showcasing of hapless band-manager Murray's vocals wasn't the best idea. But there's no doubt that, this season, Jemaine's star shines a little brighter than Bret's—and that's been a very good thing (for us Jemaine fans, at least). If you caught the hirsute guys in action last year at Town Hall, you know that the folk-comedy duo, armed with a couple of acoustic guitars, have practiced long and hard to perfect the art of charming onstage awkwardness. Expect them to blend old-school favorites like "Business Time" and "Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros" with songs from the new season. We'll just be happy with anything that includes their lovely "Sugalumps."

It's called the '312' because MV claims it'll do 312km/h, which equates to about 193mph. When we put it to the test it only managed 182 along a two-mile runway, albeit in a headwind.

A word from TBD Restaurant
TBD {"to be determined"} is the philosphy behind our restaurant. Everything on the menu is determined by seasonal availability of local products. The result is a dynamic, frequently-changing menu cooked entirely by live fire in a custom Grillworks wood-burning hearth. Our beverage program complements the food with 18 beers on draft, 25 sherries by-the-glass, and "loophole" cocktails made from bitters, amaros and aperitifs. Reservations are recommended, though we gladly accept walk-ins for our bar & mezzanine.Continued

- Thoroughly enjoyed our eventingWG58VIPDined on 10/18/2014We loved the style of dining - very eclectic menu combing traditional with innovative. Casual and warm environment. Service was stellar!Special Features:
- Surprising tastes -- worked wellelizabethDined on 10/10/2014We were going here before a show at the Golden Gate Theater. It is an informal setting. You order many small dishes. Each dish was amazing. Particularly liked the duck dish. It had vegetables with it in a lemony citrus sauce and was just out of this world. I would come back just for this dish. Loved the beet salad--a larger dish and filled with flavor. The salmon, my goodness, so much flavor--a small piece of salmon, so fresh and delightful. Husband had the burger, which was juicy and amazing. I ordered their "Bright" Chardonnay which played well against all of the flavors. They got a little backed up timewise and came over and gave us each a glass of their signature sherry with star anise. Who would have thought, but so tasty.Special Features:
- Pleasant surpriseJWalTDined on 10/4/2014To be honest, I was a bit concerned about the "To Be Determined" idea. I had visions of today's market produce spread across a counter and a self-printed menu. The food was beyond excellent, and having a bird's eye view of the grill from the dining balcony above, I was totally impressed by the organized, efficient cooking scene. Like choreography. All dishes offered an interesting blend of flavors and sublime dessert. We had a choice of (generous) price fixe or individual entrees. We chose the restaurant because it was close to the theater. We will go back and share our find with others. It's the reason I use Open Table: to discover hidden gems.Special Features:
- Camp fire flavorOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 10/1/2014I had a brick-roasted chicken that was among the juiciest and most tender I've ever eaten. And the seasoning on it was truly outstanding... it had a camp fire flavor. The restaurant has a very comfortable feel and the service was the perfect balance of attentive yet unobtrusive. I noticed there's a large family style table in the back upstairs for a group, so I won't hesitate to bring a few friends back for dinner here.Special Features:
- Going downhillrbafnaVIPDined on 9/27/2014Waited 30 mins for our table for 3, with a reservation. Sat at the bar during that time which was fine, then the hostess gave us our table for 3 people - with the three us sitting in a row. Had we known, we would have just eaten at the bar, which is the same layout, but not in some claustrophobic 2nd floor loft. Service was hit or miss. Food was hit or miss, some of it actually inedible. (Burger was good!) To their credit, they didn't charges us for items we did not like.
- SatisfactoryHappycamperDined on 9/23/2014Food was delicious but be prepared to wait awhile for it to make it to your table. All dishes are prepared on the open fire oven/grill which takes time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellens food and service!Ulrica83Dined on 9/17/2014We went to TBD after being recommended it by friends. The waiter was very friendly and knew a lot about the food, where the meat/fish came from and she could tell us all the details about our beers and wine. The menu is short and concise, but you can find what you need. I ordered the tuna and it was grilled to absolute perfection! The only negative is that the restaurant is located right in the middle of the most dangerous part of San Fransisco. We walked back to the hotell (about 1 mile to Union Square) and we literally feared for our safety all the way home. Loads of aggressive homeless people and gangs screaming at every person going by. Do not walk in this area after dark! Take a cab straight from the restaurant!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exciting FoodTominSOMAVIPDined on 9/12/2014I live in the neighborhood and we have loved TBD since it's inception. The meal this past week was delicious. Everything we had (we did a la carte and the prix fixe) was well prepared and extremely tasty. Their reinvention of a classic s'more, a staple since they first opened, continues to be a real favorite for us. Alas, on this last visit the server was simply disengaged. She completely forgot that one of us ordered the prix fixe menu until we were almost through. I ordered coffee and she forgot that too. They did bring us a complimentary small plate (the crispy fingerlings-yum) and some of the soft serve to apologize for the prix fixe oversight. We will still be back because this less than stellar service experience is an anomaly.Special Features:
- Different experience than last timeJandDGettingOutDined on 9/12/2014Last time we went to TBD, we were a last minute booking and got seated on the balcony (promanade?) on the rail. This time we had a standard table on the main floor. From the rail upstairs, the cooking took on more of a show and added to the experience. This time the view was more of a standard nice place and the food needed to be the experience. We enjoyed the BLT salad and the seaweed bread. Before ordering the rib-eye (it was amazing on our first visit) we debated medium or medium well. We went with medium. It was definitely delivered well-done so a bit disappointing on that front. But, the flavors were fabulous. The staff knew that we had a play to catch so paced everything so we could easily make the curtain. We will be back!
- A Great FindSarasotaLadyVIPDined on 8/27/2014My husband and I searched for available tables on Open Table and found TBD. Our table was not ready when we arrived on time and we were offered a complimentary sherry -- a great touch. If you sat at a table, it was a set menu but if you sat at the bar, there were different items to choose from. I loved that it was an open kitchen and we could see what was being prepared. The food was very good. The only problem was a larger group of 7 male dinners who were loud and had less than polite language! But I will go back.Special Features:
- One Menu with Add OnsSactokarenVIPDined on 8/23/2014The fixed price menu offered 3 courses. We added on roasted padron peppers, which came before our salad, and corn, which came with the trout entree. We were also able to substitute one of our rice pudding desserts for s'mores. The trout was so good, we thought it was salmon - who knew they are related? We also enjoyed wine cocktails that were quite delicious. Although we love AQ and consider it the best restaurant in San Francisco. TBD is a worthy complement to the original.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good food, bad attitudesfamericanDined on 8/13/2014The food was good, specially loved the gnocchi -- the wines paired with the dishes were very good too. We liked this place, but our friend dining with us did not like that all the dishes came out "family style" - family style usually means more than two, the dishes always came out for two people to share. I can overlook that issue, but the attitude from the people cooking did it for me. On our way out I thanked the kitchen staff for the food, and complemented them, they just had this "whatever" look on their faces and said nothing, looked at me with a sort of condescending look -- I thought that was rude, I rather go somewhere else, where "hipsters" cooking don't think they are making me a favor for preparing for a meal I just paid for.
- An Updated ExperinceAndrewVIPDined on 8/9/2014Abandoning the all wood fired concept TDB has embraced a moderate approach, including a more traditional but highly abbreviated small plate menu format. While many dishes are still touched by fire many are not. The reconception largely works and is far more approachable. Unfortunately, the California-centric wine list is still too pricey. With only eight weeks into the new format (at the time of visit) some logistical problems remain -- serving hot food in small cold cast iron skillets may be cute and safe for diners but does little justice to a soon lukewarm dish. Overall, expect a good experience with quality service. Now at TDB, it's like eating near a well tended campfirerather than being in the middle of a roaring inferno.Special Features:
- Good but understand the menuSFJMNDined on 8/8/2014Be aware that this restaurant has a tasting menu. They publish the menu in advance online so we knew what to expect but this is something diners should be aware of in advance since the choices are limited if there are picky eaters in the group. We had gulf prawn ceviche, carrots with mole, pork pozole, and flan. The ceviche was the weakest dish but was still ok I just expected brighter flavors. Loved the carrots and mole and the pozole though I wish they had served the pozole with a bowl instead of a flat plate because I didn't get much of a chance to enjoy the broth with the pork, hominy, etc in the pozole. We also added the josey baker bread with avocado, great but HUGE portion. Too much for two people. Nice staff.Special Features:
- disappointedDawnCVIPDined on 8/2/2014I'd been to TBD before and really enjoyed it. However, this time the food was lacking. Not really worth it.
- Amazing Curated ExperiencezumazamaDined on 7/29/2014Had such a great dining experience. Very friendly staff and amazing food. Also HIGHLY recommend doing the wine pairings. Came with my sister, but could see this being the best date night place ;)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 7/26/2014It is not exactly clear what the restaurant is trying to achieve. Tries to serve rustic food but with haute cuisine aspirations. Unfortunately, the result is rather forgettable. OK but not great food, service on the slow side, decor nothing special. I would not repeat.
- The following 21 reviews are from the TBD Restaurant reviews archive.
- SmokySweatyVIPDined on 7/22/2014This restaurant has a large oak fired grill that is the signature of their food. It infuses most dishes with flavor in a positive way but the room needs a better ventilation and exhaust system. Despite the temperature outdoors at 9 PM being 65 F (it is San Francisco) the dining room was smoky and way too warm...and the front door was wide open. You walk out of the restaurant sweating and smelling like you just sat around a campfire. Why aren't smores on the menu? Its also a very loud room
- Perfect food, Amazing service!LauraDDined on 7/22/2014Every dish was prepared with craft and utmost care, and all was stellar! Do not miss TBD! The wood burning stoves - which the chefs cook on in front of you, is wonderful to watch.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Inventive and deliciousGandTDined on 7/18/2014My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at TBD. We both loved the prix fixe menu - we didn't have to worry about choosing dishes, and everything was wonderful, with seasonal ingredients highlighted perfectly. Ingredients were used in ways we'd never experienced before. The beverage pairings were spot-on and clever. Servers were friendly, informative, and the pace of the courses was perfect. We loved everything about TBD, and will definitely be back!Special Features:
- SusannaSVIPDined on 7/15/2014It was a bit of a gamble taking my elderly mother-in-law to this neighborhood spot, but we had a fabulous evening. I knew the food would be well-conceived, innovative, and interesting, and it did not disappoint. What made the evening particularly special was the gentle, courteous service, the enthusiasm of the young wait-staff for the food and the outstanding sherry list, and their gracious accommodation of our need for a relatively quiet table (tricky to achieve here, but they pulled it off). This is one of the most generous-spirited restaurants I know, in every respect.Special Features:
- Well Worth It!Fantastic6Dined on 7/12/2014A can't miss stop on any SF eating excursion. Terrific food complimented by immaculate service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Innovative MenuanigramDined on 7/3/2014Great food. We thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes and would come back for the innovative menu. The grilled wild salmon with fig leaves was perfect. At first, I wasn't sure about the farm egg, but one bite had me wanting more. The brown butter almond cake with apricots and sea salt brittle was light and delicious. The service does not compliment the food.Special Features:
- An off night?hmbayDined on 6/21/2014We had been looking forward to dinner here for months and were very disappointed. Difficult to decide between 1 & 2 stars because the food was really that poorly executed. We had the set menu with the beverage pairings. First, the beverage pairings after the first wine didn't work. Second, each course was disappointing except for the Bread and Avocado side dish. The appetizers were OK - apricot and fig starter featured 2 halves of a fig! The Fisherman's Stew was a very poor execution of something like Cioppino. The Grilled Pork Ribs were terrible - just barely cooked. The dessert - dry and unimaginative Tres Leches cake - served in 2 small jars for 4 people with a badly matched cocktail. The neighborhood is creepy vintage SOMA.
- thisVIPDined on 6/20/2014great place, not the best value, food is hit and miss
- excellent food menu conceptOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 6/18/2014Not only was the food artistic, it was amazingly delicious! The wine pairing was fantastic. We left everything up to the chef & was absolutely satisfied with every dish!Special Features:
- Great find in an unexpected placeChuckVIPDined on 6/18/2014Extremely attentive service and excellent dining experience.Special Features:
- Wonderful surpriseCosmoGirlDined on 6/14/2014We were visiting San Fran and read about several new restaurants...one was TBD. It was wonderful! Our only surprise (and it was our fault for not doing a little more research) was that there really is only one prix fixe offering each night along with a few added ala carte options that are mostly sides and desserts. That said, we lucked out and the food did not disappoint..the service was wonderful and attentive. I would advise people who are considering a reservation to go online and check out the menu for the day just to be sure it is appealing. I'd love to go back...very different, unique combinations, prepared fresh and beautifully!!Special Features:
- Still finding its legsNoamDined on 6/10/2014We had the four course set meal to which we added the amazing corn with miso and josey bakers equally good bread with butter. The courses themselves were decent but other dishes needed significant work such as a dish of undercooked potatoes and a dessert with nearly uncooked tapioca pearls. The biggest problem though is the incompetent wine matching; wines and beer were simply not compatible with the food and that just doesn't fly in this town. Lots of potential in this place but some work needs to be done to fix these serious issues.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Camping Indoors is AmazingRyMcJVIPDined on 6/6/2014Everything at TBD is absolutely amazing - the food, the drinks, the atmosphere, the philosophy. The tasting menu allows you to sample the menu with very healthy portions. The staff is very helpful in navigating the menu and drink selection. We plan to return many times! Note that if you're sitting upstairs, you'll probably leave smelling a bit like you've been at a campfire... But it's SOOOO worth it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- interest food/cloying serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 6/3/2014The food is very good at TBD; inventive combinations resulting in deep and creative flavors. Watching the line work the fire and prepare the food is quite entertaining. The space and scene are convivial, though service can be a bit cloying. . Wine prices are as ridiculous as most places in the city. Disappointed that I will likely not be going back much as they are moving to a fixed price menu; it's a casual place and the fixed price format does not seem appropriate.Special Features:
- few vegetarian choicesOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/30/2014Good ambience, excellent service. Could use more vegetarian options. Not a single vegetarian entree on the day we were there - disappointing for an SF restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- all around goodironchefslayerDined on 5/29/2014Went to TBD on a whim and it was a good time out. The food was on point and service was fine. I wish they had a bit more of a dessert selection although we did not partake. The Lamb dish was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Can't wait to go back!KuishimboDined on 5/28/2014Looked for a place to eat before a show at the Warfield & TBD was a great find. Arrived 30 mins late due to traffic, but called ahead and they were so cool about it, got us seated and fed within 45 mins to make it to our show on time. Didn't feel rushed & was able to enjoy 8 dishes & drinks. Sat across from the grills. warm, but really fun watching the preparations. Expected heavy, smokey BBQ flavors, but pleasantly surprised with the subtle depth of flavors that came through in all of the dishes. Josey Baker's seaweed bread was an all time fave, but loved every dish - cauliflower, mussels, beef, greens w/pork belly & dehydrated onions, lamb and a salmon mousse w/radishes. If they served past 10, would have gone back post-show for dessert!Special Features:
- Great food, horrible servicehumananimalVIPDined on 5/23/2014Food was amazing. If we had been served well, it would have been a 5-star review. Waitress screwed up our order twice, convincing us to order another bottle while we waited and then never put in the order. To top it off they messed up the dessert . No one bothered to take off the items or reduce the meal price at all. Pretty disappointing for what is supposed to be a top restaurant in SFSpecial Features:
- Misleading open table price ratinggrawlixDined on 5/23/2014It showed up on open table as "$$" for me. That's because it's essentially a tapas place (they say they're "family style") with $20 dishes. The waitress recommended my petite gf and I (I'm not a huge guy) get 5-6 dishes at least. We spent about $140 all in, including $10 8 oz. beers. The food itself was good. Overpriced but good. There is a huge wood burning oven. My athsma was acting up and my clothes still reek of smoke and it's been 24 hours. We both had to take a shower before bed to get the smoke out of our hair. Id be surprised if this place stays open another 6-12 months. So many other places in the city you could go for $140 for 2. Again though the biggest problem was the $$ rating, get your sh*t together open table!
- I've decided.ChandelleDined on 5/22/2014Cute, functional concept and the campfire thing worked. Food above average, not amazing. Only one dish (sea bass) was truly awful. Not worth detailing other dishes because the menu changes. Our waitress couldn't answer basic questions, and COMPLETELY oversold us. You get one chance to order -- you cannot order and then if it's not enough, order more. She told us we needed 3 more dishes. Worst advice. We should've trusted our instincts. Gluttonous mass of food, we couldn't finish. Ended up paying about $350 for 4, including 3 drinks. At the end of the meal, we were given a different waitress -- better, less shaky, but she asked us to contribute to a charity she supports. Dude! We should've just donated those 3 extra dishes to her charity.Special Features:
- Wasn't what I'd hoped forYumyummVIPDined on 5/21/2014Was super excited to finally try tbd but am sad to report the food is simply not AQ quality. Good wine but overpriced (although this is obviously standard in the city, I never really get used to it). Service was impeccable and soft serve dessert was amazing.

A letter written in 1945 and discovered behind a bathroom cupboard last Saturday in a Marshfield home has returned to a family member of the recipient thanks to the help of NewsChannel 7 viewers.
The discoverer of the letter, Brooke Konecny, said it only took eight hours for the rightful owner to surface. On Saturday, Bonnie Schulte, the daughter of Marge "Margie" Adolph Zinda, returned to the home she once lived in more than 60 years ago to make the exchange. With hands shaking with awe, she examined the letter and said it was an awesome surprise.
"Now I'm not even aware of how often they exchanged letters, but I'm glad I got this one," she said. "I really, thank you! Thank you very much!"
The writing in the letter has a very loving tone, but John "Jack" A. Konkel and Zinda aren't lovers, they're brother and sister.
"They were really buddies, which is nice being the age difference between them and I said I can see where this would look like a love letter. It's just that kind of a letter because that's the kind of relationship they had. He did, he really adored her," said Schulte.
She said the two became close when their mother died when her Uncle Jack was five-years-old and her mother was 15. Once Zinda got married a few years later, she moved from their home in St. Paul, MN to Stevens Point, and then to a new home in Marshfield as the letter indicated. Konkel stayed in Minnesota and lived with his oldest sister Jenn.
Konkel wrote the letter while he was serving in the army when he was about 23. Schulte said she may have inadvertently been the reason the letter disappeared.
"In this cupboard my mother also had, she evidently had this (the letter), and she had Easter seals and I would always be in there, again at 6-years-old, digging through there for those Easter seals or digging just to snoop," she said. "I'm probably the one that maybe even knocked it back there."
Konecny said she had one more surprise from a viewer also looking for a Zinda woman. The email said they have a one cent postcard from January 24, 1922. Now, Schulte is on a family history adventure she never expected to be on, but as for the letter, she said she's "going to hang on to it for dear life."
Schulte gave her Uncle Jack a call for the first time in 16 years. He is living in Indianapolis, IN and is in decent health for being 92-years-old. He said the news really made his day and he can't wait to tell his kids. Unfortunately her mother will not be able to enjoy the discovery, as she passed away a few years ago.
There are some charms of living in older homes and one Marshfield woman got a surprise she didn't expect. She found a letter dating back to the World War II era.
Brooke Konecny found the letter in her home on Saturday. She moved into the house almost two years ago and was fixing up and painting her bathroom cabinets when she dropped her paint brush behind the drawers. She reached back to grab it, but she not only found her brush.
"I stuck my hands down there and felt some stuff moving around, so I took the cabinet apart and then out came this letter," she said.
A letter written by a John A. Konkel on January 8, 1945 while in the Philippines. Konecny has been searching for the writer ever since she found it with little success.
"Oh I've tried the Honor Flight, I've tried WWII Veterans, I've tried the Navy. I've tried everywhere and I could not find them," said Konecny.
Judging from the letter addressed to a Mrs. Adolph Zinda, it seems her and John Konkel were close. NewsChannel 7 tried to decipher the letter, which reads:
"My darling Margie,
At last I got a letter from you after so long waiting. It was good to hear from you again, I always like to get your letters.
So you have finally gotten settled in your new home. I know it will be so much better than where you were settled.
I hope you have had a nice Christmas and New Year's season. It wasn't quite the same out here as it was in the States. Their days seemed like any other days of the year. They are all alike out here.
Wish I could have been there for New Years, think of me and home a cold one for me will you? I received a couple of Christmas packages today. They were simply ... I would have written to you much sooner but I didn't have your address in ... I believe I did write and I hope you got them.
In everyone new short of ready cash and enclosing a ... that you can try and spend if you get to Japan. If you like it I can save you a couple of tour money ... I can get the shippping space.
Well no news here for now so I will say bye bye now and regards to all.
All of my love sweet,
Konecny said it appears to be one of many letters these two had written to each other. Zinda had likely brought the letter to this new home, as the letter was addressed to a home in Stevens Point. Konecny said she likely dropped the letter behind the cabinets much like she dropped her paint brush.
The letter also indicates it was written while on the U.S.S. Spencer C.G. Cutler, which was the Coast Guard's most decorated unit, receiving 14 battle ribbons. During the time Konkel appears to have been aboard the ship, it reported to the Navy's Seventh (Pacific) Fleet and took active part in invasions including on Luzon and Palawan in the Philippines. Two Japanese pasos were also enclosed with the letter and kept in mint condition while behind these drawers.
Despite the lack of luck in finding this writer or receiver, Konecny is determined to return these pieces of history back to their rightful owner.
"It would mean a lot just to give it back to him. Because I know that it's not supposed to be here. It was something that was lost and it should go back to him," she said.
If you know either John A. Konkel or Mrs. "Margie" Adolph Zinda, or recognize these letters, please contact Brooke Konecny at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Like I said before, you can choose to sanction those who work under fundamentally different views of humanity (China). But if we choose, as a nation, to retire from the game instead of compete with the Japans or SKoreas or Taiwans or Germanys of the world, the only ones we're hurting in the long run is ourselves.
It would be a lot easier to compete with China in the global economic market if we weren't outspending them 5:1 in defense. Everyone always likes to count us out vs. China when it comes to the economy, but it's because we're still stuck in our old, paranoid 1950's world views. China (nor any other superpower or nation who represents any legitimate military threat) has no interest in military conflict. In fact, it's contrary to their interests, because the market has become so globalized, that a market crash by either side would cripple both economies, not to mention both economies being destroyed in the first place because we buy so much from each other...that would end immediately, and the only thing propping either of us up would be the military economy, which would only last as long as our military resolve and natural resources would hold out.
The threat we face comes from rogue states, cells and individuals, and catching them requires precision and efficiency, not a huge standing army. Talk about attacking a problem with a meat cleaver instead of a scalpel... All of this can be done for much, much less than we currently spend on the military. Yes, this would destroy jobs. Jobs we would have to offset by rebuilding our infrastructure, which in and of itself is a huge contributor not only to supporting the economy, but to supporting a war effort if needed.
So slash the bejeezus out of the defense budget, shift the responsibility of "home defense" back to the states, where it was when this nation was founded, and rely on each state to raise and maintain militias (these would be your National Guard units) that can be called on in time of war. When Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers in April 1861, there was a reason they reached half a million volunteers before even the first drafts were begun.
Now, what exactly do we do with $300 billion dollars? I dunno, but I'm sure we can find some way to help level the playing field. It's not a simple their labor force is bigger than ours situation...as I recall the Soviets had a lot of cheap labor and natural resources, as well.
