Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I'm 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we've assumed to be true about health and wellness...Tell Me More
Conquering carbs offers a whole constellation of rewards, not the least of which is a steady, brisk energy unlike most people have known before (well, maybe since the whirling age of 10 or so…). People tell me constantly that they can finally make it through the day without being down for the count every midafternoon. They enjoy enough vigor and vitality to weather a whole day's worth of activity. The busyness of life becomes easier to handle: the energy demands of daily work or business travel, the mayhem and constant commotion of kids, a weekend's worth of chores and errands, etc. A skipped meal doesn't suddenly change the agenda to including procuring a bagel or other false pick-me-up. Nonetheless, for some folks, there's a common, temporary but still bothersome bump in the road on the way to that Primal prize. Though it varies, it often means a couple weeks of mental fuzziness, fog and fatigue. Although your body might be off to the races, your brain can lag behind like a little brother in a stuffed snowsuit. It's a game of "hey, wait up!" while the body's mechanisms and metabolism align themselves. They call it "low carb flu," and rest assured it's just as temporary.
Dear Mark,
I just want to know if anyone who has been Primal for some time had any trouble with cognition in the first few weeks. I can hardly think straight, especially after eating, and I am also low on energy. Will this pass??? Besides that, my body feels great!"
Thanks to Jessica for her question in response to Matt Garland's excellent guest post last week. It's a common subject of emails I receive.
First off, I should mention that some folks experience the low carb flu, and others don't. Overall, those who have been lower carb for some time seem to have fewer problems with the transition taking their carb intake down a notch. As rational as it sounds, this trend still isn't a hard and fast rule. I know a number of Primal adherents who fit this profile and then went on to experience the symptoms Jessica describes. Others I know went from sky high sugars to low carb cold turkey and felt great from day one. Go figure. It might be due to the "sliding range of genetic variations" I'll be discussing in an upcoming post.
Although the low carb flu isn't universal, that doesn't mean it's abnormal. For many people, it takes about two to three weeks to move beyond the temporary fog and fatigue. Studies following the physical performance of low carbers showed that initial disadvantages were erased after this window of time. If your body is used to employing easy glucose carbs and now must create glucose from fats and protein (a slightly more complex but entirely natural mode of operation), it can take some time to get up to speed. Rest assured that our bodies can and are doing the job. It simply takes time to work efficiently. The transition actually shifts metabolic related gene expression, increasing fat oxidation pathways and decreasing fat storage pathways. (That's nothing to shake a stick at!) Within a few weeks, the body should be fairly efficient at converting protein and fat for the liver's glycogen stores, which provide all the glucose we need for the brain, red blood cells, muscles, etc. under regular circumstances.
The small amount of specifically targeted research on low carb diets and cognition are small and shoddy at best. A recent study, for example, showed minor memory delay during the first week of strict carbohydrate elimination (as opposed to reduction), but further measures were not taken until carbs were reintroduced. By the same token, those on a traditional American Dietetic Association diet exhibited more confusion during the study tests. I don't think this study offers any legitimate, useful assessment on either diet.
Nonetheless, there's the sense that we're stressing the brain and causing damage by not bathing it in a steady supply of glucose. In fact, we may be doing our brains the ultimate favor. Recent research has pegged Alzheimer's as a kind of "type 3" diabetes, a disease related to insulin resistance. Truth be told, our brains can function on ketones, fat-metabolism byproducts and key energy sources in low to very low carb diets, which some say may be even healthier yet for our noggins. Check out Jimmy Moore's interview with Dr. Larry McCleary, a respected neurosurgeon and author of The Brain Trust Program: A Scientifically Based Three-Part Plan to Improve Memory, Elevate Mood, Enhance Attention, Alleviate Migraine and Menopausal Symptoms, and Boost Mental Energy.
Keep in mind also that people in low carb transition can genuinely shortchange their physical needs when they aren't eating enough fat or when they're pursuing high intensity exercise routines lasting over an hour, which send the body's glycogen stores into a nosedive to the ground. I hear this from CrossFitters and P90Xers who insist on maintaining their daily high intensity while transitioning to Primal eating. This isn't to say that you can't exercise more intensely for longer on a Primal Blueprint diet (although there's no real need to for perfectly solid fitness), but more than an hour's time for most folks requires some extra carbs when glycogen is depleted. If you're bothered by the mental fog even without intensive exercise, ease up on your carb restriction by adding 25 grams or so to see if it makes a difference. Listen to your body and gauge your sensitivity. Rome wasn't built in a day, and you're not going to compromise your overall benefit by taking it slowly.
As any Primal buff would attest, this temporary setback pales in comparison to the benefits once the transition has passed. Without the persistent carb-induced peaks and crashes, you should enjoy a measurable boost in energy – steady and stable – in no time. Hang tight, and know you'll be on the other side of the hill soon! In the meantime, take good care of yourself with a little extra shuteye and maybe some well-timed green tea for a modest boost when you really need it.

"Pick a healthy protein/fat/carb ratio (1/3's is not a bad place to start) and stick to it."
Umm…what? I think you want the Atkins forum over there—-> 🙂
I didn't think you were shilling, I was just surprised that you were posting on a site about primal nutrition, among other things, two things that go so entirely against the essential nature of primal eating: weighing measuring and recording and eating such a huge percentage of carbs.
I think if you are trying to lose weight you may have to count calories (I know I need to because even eating primally I can accidentally eat too much because I'm eating calorie dense foods). But 1/3 carbs is definitely too high for me (I eat an almost ketogenic diet).
Not sure how to respond to John C directly but a lot of people use the Biggly software specifically for tracking their progress with primal eating and workouts. Measuring and using progress as motivation is hardly breaking rules or something..?
I guess I was lucky then. I didn't experience the low carb flu.
I just did a 34 mile bike ride without carbs. eggs for breakfast, then just coconut water with coconut oil added for some fat.
Then there were the others. Some younger riders were participating, I guess for the first time, and the parents were encouraging bananas and cookies "because you need lots of carbs for energy when riding".
I wonder if that's why some many riders I see have pot bellies?
Check the carbs on coconut water. You took in at least as many as those eating bananas.
How can some people here be so blind to the nutritional makeup of their food in order to maintain claims of "being low carb"?
And you seem a little confused about being low carb vs primal vs a lower carb athlete
You're an RN, Dave? And you seriously believe people get potbellies from eating too many bananas?
Produce even one such person and you'll likely make medical history.
Get real.
It is a fact..bananas do cause pot bellies. Have you ever seen an ape withut a pot belly?
Massive supply of fructose, are you kidding? Goes straight to the liver and turns into fat. Be one of these people who eats pounds and pounds of fruit daily (only they make it into smoothies) without also getting enough choline to counteract it and you'll wind up with a lovely case of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
It doesn't always mean a pot belly but if you could get the pot belly without the NAFLD, believe me, you'd rather have the pot belly.
Interesting. If I recall, I went primal on a Monday or a Tuesday and I began having flu-like symptoms before that first weekend.
After 4-5 months of success, my wife tried to go primal and she too had flu-like symptoms her first weekend. Glad that it passes relatively quickly.
Any idea how long the flu-like symptoms can last? My husband didn't get them, but now I have been going primal for a month and still have flu-like symptoms. I keep hoping this gets better because I really want to go primal, but honestly it's making it hard. The last 2 weeks have been a nightmare… My guess is that my diet was so high in carbs and sugars my body is just freaking out, but i feel like i can't take much more.
The flu-like symptoms are the die off of the bad bacteria (including candida) in your intestines. They aren't getting all the sugar and gluten to eat, so they are dying and releasing all their toxins all at once. I guess if you had a lot, it could affect you for a while. My niece has over 17 food allergies including gluten, dairy, and corn. She went through the mill with the die-off symptoms.
If you intake enough oils in your daily routine, you won't feel like that at all. Try to make a 3 egg omelette in the morning with olive oil. Then have a large salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar in the afternoon. For me personally, I think it is the fat that makes me feel satisfied.
me too! that's why i started asking around about low-carb fatigue. i'm like a zombie, and have been for over 3 weeks now… and i'm also dangerously close to stoking the carb-o-retta…
did you notice any progress/positive change yet?
I don't know about intaking "oils" but fat generally, yes. Eat some animal fat if you're not already. Olive oil's nice but not as the only fat you intake.
No, you probably better drop the brown carbs. Kind of missing the point there.
I can tell when I'm eating too much starch because I wake up groggy. If you are just hanging "in between" SAD and Primal you are going to cause more problems than you solve. Besides, that stuff's almost empty calories. Take up the calories with something more nutritious.
To me one of the big benefits of eating Paleo aside from health is *not* writing stuff down, *not* weighing and measuring.
If I wanted all that stress and hassle in my life I'd go on a diet or something. 😉
I agree, but when I feel myself falling off the bandwagon, I start writing everything down to help myself get back on track. That's also how I started and it helped me stay away from all the nasty stuff out there. Writing things down helps me check the balance in my diet, too.
Great post! I too experienced some issues when I went Paleo. I was mostly just sluggish, more tired than normal during the day. Felt like taking a nap, which I never used to feel. It got better though, mostly after about a week or two. As the post suggests, just stick with it and those 'carb withdrawls' will eventually pass.
I remember getting "carb flu" after doing GOMAD (gallon of whole milk a day) about a year ago for around a month (..it went w/ my strength training at the time) – After which I switched to only having starchy carbs post work out only. I didn't know what was wrong with me, I was totally shattered for the first week. Over time my body adapted better & better as my diet became more primal over the next 6months or so.
Why would you want to breast-feed if you were doing strength training?
That, sir, is a stupid response and no better than troll-bait.
Do you ever have problems sleeping on low carbs? I feel much better since I switched to eating fat/protein foods for breakfast and lunch, but if I eat a meal of meat and veggies alone for dinner I just won't fall asleep, so I usually toss in a few pieces of fruit for desert to help induce the sleep. I did a little research and found ketosis tends to increase the time in deep sleep in exchange for REM sleep. I was just curious if you had any experiences with this, or what your thoughts were?
You've got to make sure you eat enough fat.
A lot of us have been brainwashed into being afraid of eating fat. I got over my low-carb flu after cooking up all the bacon in the house and eating as much of it as I could. Felt awesome immediately after that.
Now, whenever I feel run-down I have some pastured eggs or raw milk and it picks me right up.
I struggled with cravings but not with any mental stuff. My skin got oily and I broke out as my body transitioned to a high fat diet, but thankfully that only lasted about three weeks to a month as my body cleansed itself. I read a while back that some new comers were struggling with the same thing.
I never got the "low carb flu", but it sounds like what Masters Ultra Runner Rob Evans had happen to him. He is interviewed by Scott Dunlap over at his very popular "A Trail Runner's Blog"
and talks about 3 tough weeks after going high fat,high protein,low carb, but how this diet has been a big part of his newfound success.
Lots of ultra runners and endurance athletes going primal these days, with great results.
I started exactly one week ago–the first few days were ROUGH. I had zero energy, making my CrossFit workouts nearly impossible. I read a bit about easing into it, and had a sandwich here, some pasta there…I was maxing out at 1,000 – 1,100 calories per day…not good. Now things are better, but I don't feel any better than I did before I started Primal eating. If nothing else though, following this site has eliminated chips and beer (almost) from my diet. Keep up the excellent work Mark.
Mine lasted for 6 foggy weeks. Everytime I would get close to breaking through, I would give in to the sugar craving and was too scared to eat THAT MUCH FAT lol. Hindsight, as usual, is 20/20 and I should have just brought on the bacon/avacado/coconut oil/steak until I felt better.
In other news, if you fall off for a while then return to HF-LC, the "flu" lasts considerably less time… I'm guessing because you've already adapted once before, so it's not a "new" thing to your body.
Sometimes the low-carb flu is a result of a lack of veggies. In my previous low carb experiments I ate only meat and cheese, very acidic of course. That is what got me sick until I brought up the veggies again.
Someone mentioned above that they experience hang-over symptoms from white bread and processed flour products. I get that too now!
I like you. Everywhere I go the veggies follow me…::sigh:: first you defend dr atkins, who saved my life ten years ago when was first dxed as a type 1.5 diabetic, then you defend my food choices hehe. Definitely like you. Hi, Im Marie 🙂
I seem to think the low-carb flu is related to carb addiction. Wheat and other grains contain opiates and when people break this addiction, as with any junkie they go cold turkey for a while.
I totally agree with this. I think the severity of mine is because I was unaware of how much my mood was relegated by sugar before. It was sneaky because it was mostly fruit and chocolate and alcohol, not grains. But all the advice is extremely helpful. More fat is a hrad thing to wrap your head around if you previously listened to CW…but it definitely makes a difference for me. But it's something I have to remember and then force myself to eat! Good luck everyone.
Never got the carb flu. I did get depressed once just thinking about no carbs….lol. I love the no or little carb lifestyle. To make it easier on your self, plan some cheat days here and there, this will give you something to look forward to on your journey. Remember to set your goals, long and short term and take it one day at a time. My mother gets brain fog just at the thought of no carbs….lol
I had about 3 days of low-carb flu, I haven't measured *anything* (calories or ratios) and I've been losing weight really quickly.
I've been doing Paleo for athletes for about 1 week. I was really tired after about 5 days but today I'm feeling good. My problem is that I'm still getting cravings, but I just eat berries to try and subsided them.
Those cravings go completely away at 20 grams of carbs a day or less. You might try different levels of carbs and see what works for you.
into week 3 as of yesterday, and just now coming out of the fog and grog of carb flu. My diet was heavy grains and legumes just prior to Primal, so I imagine that I am in for a bit of a longer battle shaking it all. Feel good though, and some days are better than others. My workouts definitely suffered, but I am finding my new sweet spot in regards to my Kettlebells and lifting. I am having a tougher mental battle over the bacon thing right now…
all in time I suppose!
I've been "easing into" primal over a few weeks now and have not experienced anything flulike; However I had a carb overload this weekend and felt like utter crap. Go figure.
i realize we are in a sense, detoxing from conventional wisdom but more literally, from carb overload.
is there a connection/similarity between going primal and detoxing?
while i haven't gone through these flu like symptoms while going primal, i have experienced it going through fasts and cleanses.
I definitely felt the pangs of the Primal flu…my body was achy, my head hurt and I was exhausted but could never fall asleep.
It lasted about 1.5 weeks and then BAM I felt awesome! I now spring out of bed and feel full of energy all day.
I'm slowly converting my friends to Primal, but I always warn them of the flu they'll feel at first. It's worth it to stick it out though!
I am having this issue right now but it's so bad, I wake up with huge headaches in the morning, I am super exhausted but can't fall asleep, really light headed if i stand up too quick, I feel lethargic and down. I ate some white bread today because i thought it would help. It didn't. I don't have any cravings though which is a bonus I guess.
@L – Your symptoms sound similar to mine – total exhaustion, unable to sleep, feeling weak, dizziness when standing…I'm now on day 13, and it is the first day since starting that I feel half-way decent. It hasn't been all bad though; my skin is clearer and I've lost 7 lbs.
I have these kind of issues, an last time, end of the day and feeling really dizzy, I cheated with a big smoked meat sandwich. Feeled totally okay after. I tought that time that it was the bread from the sandwich that get me better just after the meal, but not i'm beginning to think that maybe it was the big amound of protein+fat
im soooo with you. It is really getting me down. i am absolutely smashed
You guys totally just need some more potassium, sodium and magnesium. Make yourself a yummy drink with some crystal lite and add some diet salt (potassium chloride) and some Dead Sea salt (sodium and magnesium) and take a magnesium supplement. You'll feel a world of difference.
Here is an article Mark wrote awhile back. I think it's what you're looking for. Worst case it should answer some of your questions.
Funny, I had suffered from this type of foggy-thinking syndrome for a couple years. Once I dropped the gluten grains from my diet my head cleared up.
Jessica. You know that would be a great question to put in Robb Wolf's podcast!!!!!
Cocaine helped me through my early low carb days.
That's hilarious. You're kidding, right?
You know, this sounds *exactly* like what happened to all the raw vegans. "After inital detox, your life will be amazing!" Except it wasn't for most who tried the diet, and most quit. I wonder if the primal thing will suffer the same fate in 5-10 years. 🙁
Joe, who is skeptical of all trendy lifestyles
well except low carb, high fat has already been around a lot longer than five or ten years and is only becoming more and more accepted and there are more and more people who have been doing it for decades, whereas the span of the average raw vegan life is what, five minutes? And they all look like cadavers? THIS is a sustainable WOE, raw vegan is NOT. Im not talking specificly paleo though, generally low carb, high fat, moderate protein, so it really cant be considered "trendy" lol.
In a low carb diet, more fat gets burned, of course.
Fat is also used as storage to toxins. Maybe the fog and the low carb flu got to to with fat and toxins getting into the bloodstream and causing the fog.
Just a thought I use when I feel foggy.
Warm regards,
when I first started going Primal..I severely cut my carbs. this led to not feeling well at all. I introduced carbs back in at a level of 100-150 grams complex carbs. I slowly reduced it to about 50-80 grams complex carbs. I now function quite well on a 30-60 level. I am quite active and do exercise for over an hour 3 times a week, and keep active for the rest of the week. it works well for me.
For some people the symptoms could be a result of a candida (yeast) "die-off". By cutting carbs and lowering blood glucose you're restricting the candida of it's food supply. On top of that, many of the PB foods are anti-fungal, killing more and intensifying symptoms.
This makes sense to me. Yeast overgrowth can be very tenacious. Kombucha and lacto-fermented veggies can be very helpful, much more effective than probiotic capsules, in my experience.
I will try some Kombucha right now and kick up my intake of Olive leaf extract and silver. That may help me pull out of it.
I realize this post is old but I felt compelled to reply. I had intense chocolate, nuts and butter cravings early on my primal journey.
I suggest taking a magnesium glycinate supplement as that could certainly be the cause of your cravings as both as very high in that essential mineral. I take a good 400-500mg sometimes upwards of 750mg and even 1g on high workout days.
Perhaps you should try it and see how you feel. Fact: most of us are severely deficient in magnesium.
Cheers and best of luck!
I had bad withdrawal symptoms when I started the Primal lifestyle, but I was a total sugar addict. I didn't really have mental fog though, but I did have trouble in the gym for about a week, which has passed.
I was in a brain fog for years with high carb diet. Somewhere between week 5 and week 6 of eating paelo the fog lifted. I can think again!!
The guest blog comments a week or so back talks about this. In some small studies in children over here (UK) there was a big decrease in seizures on a low carb high fat regime.
i made the switch very gradually, over YEARS, so no low carb flu. but i'll tell ya, cutting out my BAD (5 cups a day) coffee habit last month was BRUTAL withdrawal. the headaches and brain fog!it's nice to feel calmer now…though i also liked being sorta amped on caffeine and i don't think it was such a bad habit. something about the pain of quitting makes me want to not start up again. our bodies get used to a certain chemical balance and adjustment certainly can be tricky.
Yep, read Taubes if you really want to understand why you are going Primal and why you should stay Primal, forever.
I won't EVER forget reading that book.
Hi Mark,
In the German Ketokenic Diet booklet aimed at cancer patients on how to use diet as a treatment, it is mentioned that it may take some days for the brain to effectively swap from using glucose into using ketone bodies for energy.
In that sense it is not recommended to swap straight into a very low-carb regime, but to instead aim at daily 50g carb intake for a week or two before going lower.
The whole booklet can be found here in English: http://www.frauenklinik.uni-wuerzburg.de/forschung/ketogenic_english.htm
Just finished my first week of Primal. My main "flu" symptom has been headaches, all day long for about three days, now off-and-on. They aren't debilitating, just annoying.I haven't noticed any big change to my energy level, but cravings and roller-coaster blood sugar subsided almost immediately. I've been pretty much at 50-80 carbs a day. Next goal is to try to stay under 50. In my first week I lost 5 lb., probably mostly water but encouraging nonetheless. I also feel less puffy, but it's more of a subjective feeling, not a measurable thing.
I would like to add another possible cause of low carb flu. The new Atkins book says that there is evidence that switching to a lower carb lifestyle can have a diuretic effect. This is part of the reason people can lose so much weight the first week. They are now suggesting having a cup of bouillon to help with the symptoms.
I would think salt water is better for you than boullion cubes if thats what you meant. They have MSG (and who knows what else) in them, and if you are sensitive to MSG, that can cause migraines. I had an adrenal problem for years which caused water to just run through me without hydrating me, and my doctor recommended salt water with unprocessed sea salt or pink Himalayan salt. You should pay about 10 bucks or the like for a bag or else you aren't getting the real stuff
only really really CHEAP bullion cubes have msg in them these days, read labels. And bullion tastes better heh.

Killeen Daily Herald
Toni Price still feels angry when she thinks back on the day her foster son died after being restrained by his special education teacher during a dispute over lunch.
She hopes new legislation passed by the U.S. House last week could help prevent the deaths of other students across the country.
"(The teacher) wasn't doing her job. She took a child's life," Price said. "I'm really glad something is being done."
The House last week approved legislation, 262-153, that for the first time would establish federal standards to regulate the uses of seclusion and restraint techniques in schools. Similar legislation now awaits a vote by the Senate.
Though written by members of both parties, some Republicans questioned implementing federal regulations in a state-run education system.
The vote came a year after Price testified before Congress on her foster son's behalf. Fourteen-year-old Cedric Napoleon died on March 7, 2002, at Manor Middle School in Killeen after his 230-pound behavior management teacher placed him facedown on the floor and sat on him. The death was ruled a homicide, but no charges were ever filed.
"Cedric wasn't hurting himself or putting anyone in danger," Price told the Herald Wednesday. "If this (legislation) was in place, I believe he would still be alive."
The Keeping All Kids Safe Act would limit physical restraint or locked seclusion only to situations where there is "imminent danger," would require staff to be trained and would completely outlaw chemical restraints that are not part of a physician's prescription.
The bill would also prohibit school staff from including restraint or seclusion as planned interventions in students' education plans, and would require schools to notify parents immediately after incidents when restraint or seclusion was used.
For all students
DeEtta Culbertson, spokeswoman for the Texas Education Agency, said that Texas law already includes most of the act's provisions. The main difference is the state law applies only to special education students and the federal law would apply to all students.
She said the act would also expand data collection and reporting requirements.
"We are reviewing the material from resolution to see how it might impact Texas," Culbertson said.
Previously there were no federal laws that regulated the uses of seclusion and restraint in public or private schools. Laws vary at the state level, and 19 states have no laws at all.
U.S. Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., who authored the bill, was prompted by a 2009 report conducted by the U.S. Government Accountability Office that found widespread allegations of abusive seclusion and restraint techniques in the nation's schools.
The report examined 10 cases in detail, and in four of them, the abuses were fatal.
Cedric's story
Price told her foster son's story during a congressional hearing May 19.
According to Price's testimony, Cedric's special education teacher refused to feed him lunch on the morning of his death as punishment after he stopped doing his schoolwork. Around 2:30 p.m. Cedric, who still hadn't eaten, tried to leave the classroom.
The 6-foot-tall teacher forced the 129-pound boy back down into his chair.
Cedric struggled while being held in his chair so the teacher pinned him facedown on the floor and sat on him. He stopped moving, but the teacher continued to restrain him, Price said. Finally, the teacher and a teacher's aide placed Cedric back in his chair and wiped drool off his lip. The limp child slumped over and slipped out of his chair, Price testified.
Cedric was dead by the time Price arrived at the school. His death was ruled a homicide, but the teachers involved in the restraint never faced trial. A Bell County grand jury decided to take no action against them after an investigation in August 2002.
Policy changes
The Killeen Independent School District has since changed its policy so no student can be restrained on the floor, and all instances must be thoroughly documented, said KISD spokeswoman Leslie Gilmore.
Employees certified to restrain must go through Nonviolent Crisis Intervention training, and parents are notified by phone and in a letter each time restraint techniques are used. Students can still be restrained while sitting or standing up, Gilmore said.
District officials could not comment on how the proposed federal legislation would affect their procedures, according to a statement.
KISD Superintendent Robert Muller said restraint techniques are only used as a last resort to protect other students or staff members. Price insists Cedric did not pose a threat to himself or others.
Price still works as a foster parent in Killeen, and said she will continue to tell Cedric's story to whoever will hear it.
"Cedric was a young man and his life was cut short," Price said. "My hope is it will save other children and parents from having to go through similar grief."

Anoka-Ramsey Athletic Association hosted more than 34 youth football teams in a football jamboree at Central Park in Ramsey Aug. 24.
Members of the Anoka-Ramsey Athletic Association's seventh-grade Njos team wrap-up an Osseo ball-carrier during the annual football jamboree at Central Park in Ramsey, Aug. 24.Photos by Jason Olson
The event included players from second- through eighth-grade taking part. More than $3,000 was raised for the Dylan Wiitschen Foundation through concessions sales.
Instead of a registration fee, teams were asked to bring non-perishable food to benefit Hope 4 Youth, which serves homeless youth in Anoka County through housing, outreach, prevention and education. The top donating team received a pizza party courtesy of Papa Murphy's. More than 1,200 pounds of food was donated.

Henry Schubert has quietly served the city of Largo for more than 27 years, mostly working behind the scenes.
Described by many as a humble leader, Schubert, 54, Largo's assistant city manager, was center stage at Tuesday's City Council meeting, where the Florida City and County Management Association presented him with the Assistant for Excellence in Leadership Award.
In a video shown at the meeting, city commissioners expressed their gratitude for Schubert and his years of service.
"He's always there to jump in," Mayor Pat Gerard said in an interview. "He's run just about every department in the city and he's done it well."
Schubert, who has been assistant city manager of Largo since 1993, has served in a variety of capacities, working as an interim police and fire chief on numerous occasions and as a city clerk, environmental services director, human resources director and solid waste manager.
Before joining the city full time as a management analyst in 1980, Schubert worked as a planning technician for Largo in a position funded by a state grant.
He graduated from Dixie Collins High School, St. Petersburg Junior College and the University of South Florida and earned a master's of public administration from USF.
Schubert has also served as a budget evaluator for the Government Finance Officers Association. His work has earned him 17 consecutive awards from the organization for distinguished budget presentation.
Schubert said his latest award caught him by surprise. He said it is not just a reflection of himself but of all his colleagues and those he has served throughout his career.
He said that what stands out in his mind when he reflects on his years of service is "the quality of the people that I have worked with over the years. This is a very professionally run organization, and we have a lot of dedicated people."
Commissioner Harriet Crozier, who has worked with Schubert for 15 years, said she became especially impressed with him as a leader when he oversaw the design and construction of the new Largo Public Library.
"He gets the job done quietly," Crozier said. "Until the library came along, he had all of the budget to take care of. There was never any question that everything was covered. He understood the budget, he presented it well, and by the time we would get the budget, there was very little to cut."
The excellence in leadership award is given each year to an individual who embraces leadership in his or her organization and helps foster a sense of professionalism and growth in the workplace. Schubert will be presented with the award at a banquet May 30 at the Marco Island Marriott in Marco Island.
Schubert has also been nominated for an international city/county management association award, the winner of which will be announced in late June.

Like its did during the last Presidential election four years ago, NBC will do Saturday Night Live primetime election specials. The two specials will air on September 20 and September 27, NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt said at the atop of the network's executive session this morning at the TCAs.
NBC To Do 'Saturday Night Live' Election Primetime Specials
7 Comments
Last election was good. let's see if they can top it.
Smart move, the ratings were good and NBC is focusing on comedy.
Super, their sketches will go on as long as the campaign.
Great, more biased comedy sketches from SNL. Gee, cannot wait for the edgy Obama stuff. They'll crucify Mitt of course.
Did they mention whether they would have any skits that ridicule Democrats?
In the spirit of bipartisanship, I'll say that both candidates will provide plenty of fodder between now and late September. And let's not forget all the comedy gold yet to come from the two unfortunates running for veep.
I hope they aren't too desperate to reelect O
And can really be funny…lighten up SNL!
O can win without SNL pandering! Make fun of him!

seven word poems
As a teenager I sometimes found myself in trouble for my poetry.
Perhaps you have heard of 6 word poems. Maybe when listening to KSFR radio you heard about 6 word memoirs from Smith Magazine. http://www.smithmag.net/sixwords/ . These short messages seem quite the rage and a new book has even been published. Since Santa Fe is the City Different, I think we should start 7 word poems here. Apparently the interview mentioned that people of all ages love making 7 word poems. If you happen to be under 18, please get a parent's permission note to publish here. As a teenager I sometimes found myself in trouble for my poetry. However as the High School editor of the school newspaper I usually got to publish what I wanted.
You are invited to send your poems now. Always. If we get enough perhaps we could have a live poetry reading. If the editors like them enough, perhaps a local radio station would broadcast a poetry slam for all ages. In the meantime we need to create a buzz with our dancing words now.
7 word poems by Mary MacIntyre
aching foot stops walking
rest eases pain
in moments before snowstorm
exhilaration on mountaintrail
mountain bike tracks speed
middle aged bicyclists
age vanishes when
you believe you can
breathe, breathe deep
longer exhale heal breathe
little cat ready for food
waits peacefully
walk again in strength
discover peace within
So now you get the idea. Now I want your ideas. It's the hunger thing. The more you write, the more I can publish. Do you have some 7 word feedback?

The words might have been different, but the message to these underperforming leaders was the same
Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis (Research In Motion, January) "There comes a time in the growth of every successful company when the founders recognize the need to pass the baton to new leadership." —e-mail to employees from Balsillie and Lazaridis Keyword: Recognize The co-CEOs recognized that the 90% collapse in RIM's share price meant BlackBerry might be losing its cachet. They recognized that shrinking market share might mean consumers are opting for Apple and Android. And they recognized that delays with BlackBerry 10 might be sending RIM into the abyss.
(Mark Blinch/Reuters)
Robert Diamond (Barclays PLC, July) "I am sorry that some people acted in a manner not consistent with our culture and values." —letter to employees from Diamond Keyword: Values It's hard to know what is meant by bank values, given recent trading snafus, fraud charges related to mortgage-backed securities and, yes, bailouts. The scandal over the manipulation of the Libor rate further complicated matters. Diamond's job went kaput after the bank's $453-million settlement with regulators. He won't be the only casualty.
(Paul Thomas/Bloomberg)
Steven Freiberg (ETrade Financial, August) "The board believes it is an appropriate time to transition...to a new leader to guide the company through the next phase of its evolution." —statement by chairman Frank Petrilli Keyword: Evolution Evolution doesn't always make things better, as any flightless bird will tell you. ETrade's share price has wilted 80% in five years as trading dried up and commissions fell. In 2011, the firm rejected a request from its largest shareholder to put itself up for sale, preferring an overhaul—including a new CEO.
(Lucas Jackson/Reuters)
Vikram Pandit (Citigroup Inc., October) "Given the progress we have made... I have concluded that now is the right time for someone else to take the helm." —Pandit, speaking on CNBC Keyword: Progress To his credit, Pandit kept Citigroup alive during the financial crisis (with the help of a $45-billion bailout). But during his five years at the top, the share price fell some 90%, the dividend was shredded and the bank failed a recent stress test by U.S. regulators—whoops! At least Pandit had one thing right: It was time for a new leader.
(Doug Mills/The New York Times)
Christopher Kubasik (Lockheed Martin, November) "I am deeply disappointed and saddened by Chris's actions, which have been inconsistent with our values." —outgoing CEO Robert J. Stevens Keyword: Inconsistent For a company shunned by ethical investors over its armaments business, Lockheed sure demands a strong ethical code of behaviour from its people. Kubasik resigned after acknowledging a close personal relationship with a subordinate, before he even assumed the top job. Perhaps ethical investors should take another look.
(Jeffrey Macmillan)
Robert Dutton (Rona, November) "Robert was a pioneer and has been an inspiration for generations of merchants, managers and employees at Rona." —statement by chairman Robert Paré Keyword: Inspiration Dutton also inspired competition—and a takeover offer from Lowe's. Rona rejected the offer, arguing that shareholders would be better served if the company focused on executing its business plan. How has that worked out? The share price fell 40%, and Rona reported an 89% dip in its third-quarter profit. Hardly inspirational.

Del Monte to remain in Pittsburgh after sale of canned-foods unit, some layoffs expected
Del Monte Foods will remain in Pittsburgh, but some layoffs are likely once it sells its consumer canned-products business to a Philippines company early next year, executives told employees at a meeting on Wednesday.
Del Monte intends to concentrate on pet foods and will change its name after it sells canned products brand names Del Monte, Contadina, College Inn and others to Del Monte Pacific Ltd.
Although its name is similar, the Philippines company is unrelated to the business it is buying and does not have a consumer presence in the United States.
The U.S. company is jettisoning its food business and will change its name when it becomes a standalone pet-focused business in the New Year.
"The majority of our Pittsburgh employees, including several members of the executive leadership team who are based in Pittsburgh, and the business support services they provide, will continue to be an important part of Del Monte Food's business strategy moving forward," said Del Monte Foods spokeswoman Chrissy Trampedach, in a statement.
Numbers of the employees affected were not discussed for either business at the meeting, and management will begin discussions with individual employees in coming days.
Del Monte Foods has about 330 employees in the Del Monte Center on Pittsburgh's North Shore, many in accounting, finance, information technology and other service jobs shared by both businesses.
The $1.68 billion deal was announced in October and is expected to close by early February.
At the meeting, CEO Dave West and Chief Operations Officer Nils Lommerin shared information on the sale with employees for the first time, held in a "town hall" format, with many in a room and others calling in.
West told employees that the pet food business will still need their support and that Del Monte Foods remains committed to Pittsburgh.
"The pet business represents over half of the revenue and profits of Del Monte Foods and will exist as a standalone business supported by our Pittsburgh location upon the close of the sale of the Consumer Products business to Del Monte Pacific," Trampedach said.
The new Del Monte Foods will focus on pet food products and snack brands, including Meow Mix, Kibbles 'n Bits, Milk-Bone, 9Lives, Natural Balance, Pup-Peroni, Gravy Train, Nature's Recipe and others. The company also produces and distributes private label pet products and food products.
The canned food business being acquired by Del Monte Pacific will still need support from some Pittsburgh workers for an undetermined time, Lommerin told employees at the meeting. He is expected to become CEO of that business after the sale is completed.
Del Monte Pacific has said the business will remain independent and will be led by a U.S.-based CEO and management team. A spokeswoman could not be reached.
Del Monte Pacific has said the acquisition of the canned fruit, vegetable and broth businesses in the United States will "reunite Del Monte Pacific with U.S. mother brands and opens access to the U.S. packaged food market," adding sales of $1.8 billion and operating profit of about $180 million.
Del Monte Pacific owns the Del Monte brand in Asia and has leading market shares for canned pineapple juice and juice drinks, canned pineapple and tropical mixed fruits, tomato sauce, spaghetti sauce and tomato ketchup.

However, before you get too excited about this new-fangled offering, be aware that at the moment the only two providers are AMP and Yarra Valley Water.
This is hardly much use to me as I am not a customer of AMP and Sydney Water has a monopoly over my supply.
Despite the lack of broad consumer content in the form of providers, I expect that more will join soon.
At this stage there's no mention of a cost, however I suspect that when it comes to paying a provider's account there'll be an additional cost for doing via the facility.
The L-plated postie has a challenge in front of him, not just uneven footpaths but meeting and exceeding customer expectations.

The positive analysis about the condition of Chinese technology gain FDI
The technical level in 21st century will directly decide the international competition ability of a country and become the core factor which the international competition will subdue. Using the reverse effect of shift of technology in foreign investment, a company gains advanced technology through foreign investment and shift it to the investment country, which movement we call it technical gain FDI. Various countries in the world especially the developing countries, such as China, its research level and the environment can't adapt the demand of economic globalization. So it is a realistic choice to the developing countries to develop technology gain investment and combine with the other foreign investment to gain the advanced technology.

Any analyst research note entitled "Still Waiting For The New Products To Ship" can't be bullish –especially when the note relates to Research In Motion Ltd.
Sure enough, CIBC World Markets analyst Todd Coupland has cut his target price on the BlackBerry maker to $75 (U.S.) from $90, while maintaining a "sector outperform" recommendation on the stock.
While the new target still looks very optimistic, implying a gain of more than 100 per cent from its current level, the downgrade is part of a rash of rethinking on RIM after it issued a profit warning in April.
Since then, the shares have slumped nearly 36 per cent and analysts have cut their targets by an average of 28 per cent. On Monday afternoon, they were just a dollar above their low point in 2009, when it looked as though all Wall Street employees were going to have turn in their BlackBerries and pick up shovels.
In his target price revision, Mr. Coupland noted that RIM's second quarter is outlook is uncertain without new product shipment dates.
"Until then the share price will have trouble rallying, in our view," he said in his note.
Meanwhile, at least investors will at least be able to chew on the company's fiscal first quarter results, due to be released after markets close on Thursday. Everyone agrees that the stock is cheap, trading at just 5.7-times trailing earnings. But with competition with Android-based phones and Apple Inc. iPhones on the rise, investors are growing increasingly skittish that RIM will be able to maintain its once-solid earnings growth
According to Bloomberg, a consensus of analysts expect RIM to generate earnings of $1.33 a share in the first quarter, down slightly over last year. Mr. Coupland expects earnings of $1.37 a share, after accounting for one-time items. He is also forecasting shipments of 13.5 million smartphones during the quarter, along with 400,000 PlayBook tablet computers.Report Typo/Error

Appearing on the campaign trail in San Francisco in 2007, then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton declared, "The estate tax has been historically part of our very fundamental belief that we should have a meritocracy, that we do not want a system – where we expect people to make it on their own – to be, over time, dominated by inherited wealth." We'd encourage Mrs. Clinton the candidate to get in touch with Mrs. Clinton the taxpayer.
Last week, a report from Bloomberg News revealed that Mrs. Clinton and her husband have shifted their New York home into residential trusts, allowing the value of the home to appreciate outside of their taxable estate. According to the report, "The move could save the Clintons hundreds of thousands of dollars in estate taxes."
We take no exception to the Clintons' financial maneuvering. Indeed, we assume that the couple is motivated by the desire to leave as much of their wealth as possible to their daughter, an impulse shared by many Americans who attempt to minimize their estate tax liability. What perplexes us, however, is how they can believe that this tax is so central to the concept of American meritocracy at the same time that they're trying to avoid it.
We take a far dimmer view of the estate tax, which compounds the heartbreak of a loved one's passing and creates perverse and deeply anti-social incentives. If one knows, for instance, that a sizable percentage of his estate is going to be confiscated by the government upon his death, why wouldn't he spend it pre-mortem rather than saving it for his progeny?
There's a deeper issue at work here, however, and it's one that speaks (albeit uncomfortably) to the kinds of economic inequality that Democrats have found so distressing of late. The dirty little secret of American tax policy – especially as regards the estate tax – is that it is a two-tiered system.
Those with the kind of spectacular wealth and well-paid financial advisers enjoyed by the Clintons can always find ways to avoid the taxman's wrath. Those who take a less-calculated approach, however – who are more focused on creating wealth than sheltering it – often end up paying full-freight.
When the proponents of any given public policy are doing their best to avoid its consequences, we take that as evidence the underlying idea is flawed. As we've noted on these pages before, the purpose of the federal tax system ought to be raising revenue in the least distortive fashion possible, not social engineering.
The estate tax violates that principle, and, as such, deserves to be discarded. We suspect the American meritocracy will be just fine.

Stop the harassment - bring debt collection agencies to justice!
Debt collection agencies are a burden to people from all walks of society. In a time of financial hardship for all ages, the thought that people, particularly the disabled and elderly who are struggling with debts being harassed by debt collection agencies is inhumane. Not only do these companies charge huge levies for even the slightest payment delays, but they are required to harass the person with bad attitude and threatening phone calls, demanding people give out their personal information on the phone. When people refuse to do this this they add more charges and say the person has refused to comply! Companies like these including the one the HMRC uses - Advantis - also send an inordinate amounts of threatening letters and phoning the person every day. It is absolutely disgusting. I have been receiving a combination of all of the above in error, and it made me consider how I would feel if the debt was actual. Especially for the vulnerable. Please sign this petition and demand that the government prevents the handing over of debts to these agencies. This petition also requires that these companies be properly regulated to ensure their actions are fair and that charges are kept to the rate of inflation. Harassment should not be allowed! The treatment of people by these debt collection agencies represents a violation of human rights and should not be allowed to continue.

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Seeking expert counseling is a sign of strength. A personal relationship with a caring professional is proven clinically effective.
Dear friend,
I believe that I can help with this situation.
There is a likelihood of severe discontinuation syndrome when tapering off of Cymbalta, a fact which is not adequately told to doctors or the public by the manufacturer Eli-Lilly.
There is a site that offers treatment using nutraceuticals to ease the tapering off of Cymbalta. This site is recommended by the FDA:
I have a client who used this method with great success.
There is more information available on the FDA site about Cymbalta withdrawal. This site IS NOT OUT OF DATE although it has been put in FDA archive.
The best withdrawal is extremely slow, over several months. Low doses will have to be prepared by a compounding pharmacy so that they are exactly measured.
I was looking for an answer from a psychiatrist of pharmacist. I'm so sorry. Thank you for your help and prompt response though.
You can get fast relief from your panic attacks and agoraphobia (which is often associated with panic attacks because it is a fear of being away from a safe place such as home when the panic sets in).
The benzodiazepine anti-anxiety drug alprazolam (Xanax) has almost miraculous effects in stopping panic attacks and get start to work in a short while.
Because Xanax and all benzos can be addictive when taken regularly and/or in larger doses, patients with Panic Disorder can take this medication as needed. It does not have to be taken on a schedule as Cymbalta or Viibryd which are antidepressants with some effect on anxiety.
Because Xanax is sought after by some drug abusers, some physicians are afraid to give it out for fear of the FDA, which ironically approves Xanax for panic attacks, and is widely prescribed. Most physicians WILL prescribe Xanax for the appropriate situation and for you it is appropriate and will help you.
It is MOST IMPORTANT that you not just treat the symptoms with meds but to find the causes/stressors that are making you anxious to the point that you have these attacks.
While true that some people are more prone to anxiety and to panic (a form of anxiety), you can reduce your anxiety by working with an experienced psychotherapist (clinical counselor, clinical social worker, clinical psychologist) who can help you change your thinking and cope with these stressors. This is the best approach.
The best "circuit-breaker" for panic disorder is Xanax or another benzo Klonopin (clonazepam).
Let me also recommend a self-help workbook for control your own panic and anxiety. This book is excellent and can make a difference in your life:
I believe that with a proper (very slow) tapering program you can get off the Cymbalta, control your panic as needed, and learn to deal with the stressors that bring it on.
I wish you great success and shall keep you in my prayers.
Warm regards,
Elliott, MAE, LPCC, NCC, CCMHC
I just finished and submitted this and see that you have already given me poor service for such excellent advice for which I spent a great deal o time writing this. Why did you give me this negative rating on my record when I have given you such caring advice?
Please reconsider. The advice is excellent and will help you. I am a knowledgeable professional who does this for a living and I deserve to be recognized for my positive contribution to you. Please reconsider. This is not fair. If you were trying to contact me while I was writing, it did not come through, as you can see from the transcript above.
Hello ! Thank you for your question, I'm Dr. Vikas (M.D Psychiatry) and I'll try to help you today. If a patient start experiencing severe discontinuation symptoms / withdrawal symptoms during tapering process, the best strategy to control them is to again start the last previous tolerable dose of that antidepressant and then restart tapering down more slowly. Regarding tapering Cymbalta by reducing 10 mg at a time, I agree with your doctor here. In my view also, as you are not able to tolerate the 40 mg per day to 20 mg per day transition so it is better to start reducing by 10 mg every 5-7 days and see if you are able to tolerate it. If still not, then your doctor can try tapering down Cymbalta even more slowly for example by reducing 5 mg per week. Both Cymbalta and Viibryd can increase serotonin in the body and you are very correct here. I am sure, your doctor must be aware of the possibility of serotonin syndrome because of the combination you are taking and will take necessary precautions for it. Please feel free to discuss further if you have any other query. Kind regards Vikas
So just to clarify- as long as my doctor is aware of the possibility of serotonin syndrome, i should continue on both 40mg of cymbalta and the 40mg of viibryd concurrently(for a week) and taper by 10 from there as planned.
When I asked my doctor about serotonin syndrome possibility- he said it isn't likely to happen. I'm just nervous as I said.

Durban - A worker at the Hyper Check supermarket in Dr Goonam (Prince Alfred) Street in Durban was crushed to death by a lift on Monday when his arm got stuck in a portion of the shaft.
The 30-year-old man was working in the receiving department of the supermarket chain store when the accident happened.
His arm is believed to have got stuck in an open portion of the shaft, trapping him as the lift descended on him - to the horror of his colleagues.
Police search and rescue, the Durban fire department and paramedics were called to the store shortly after 10am and could do nothing but pull the man's body from the lift.
The lift is reserved solely for the transport of heavy goods between the various floors of the supermarket.
"There is a big sign on the lift that says 'No passengers allowed'. Somehow the deceased was in the lift shaft and got his hand stuck. When the lift came down from the top floor he was caught between two levels and got crushed. It was gruesome. There was brain matter all over the floor," said a police source, who cannot be named as he is not authorised to speak to the media.
ER24 paramedic Russel Meiring said by the time paramedics arrived a large group of bystanders had gathered around a goods elevator.
"Rescue services had to break open the elevator doors to free the body," he said. "Witnesses said that they had gone to investigate on hearing the man's screams."
The man's colleagues who witnessed the accident were too traumatised to speak.
A police forensics team cordoned off the a portion of the building while investigators pieced together the sequences of the tragedy.
An inquest docket was opened.
Department of Labour spokesman Nhlanhla Khumalo said officials from the Inspection and Enforcement Services had also been sent.
"An investigation is under way and a preliminary report will be made available as soon as the initial investigation is concluded," he said.
"The Department of Labour condemns any form any accident or incident which may lead to fatality and we urge both employers and employees to adhere to prescript of the Occupational Health and Safety Act as mandated by the Department of Labour."
The incident forms part of a growing list of lift tragedies to have hit Durban in recent months.
In December a 37-year-old security guard who had pried open a lift door to try and retrieve a document in a building in Margaret Mncadi Avenue (Victoria Embankment) was crushed to death when the lift descended on him from the fifth floor.

Yesterday, Analog Addiction brought you the second mystery trailer from Sony entitled "The Arrival", today, we bring you the third, "The Aftermath".
This third ad features the receptionist from the Michael advert plus The Reload and The Arrival walking down a hallway with a set of keys. To her right, you can just make out Sly Coopers cane hanging from a door. On her set of keys is a skull which would most likely be a reference to Sir Daniel Fortesque from MediEvil.
She then turns into a door to see a man (the bartender from the Michael ad) sweeping up a mess in a large, open plan room. The room is littered with bullet casings that could likely have been used by either Colonel Radec or Nathan Drake . The man sweeping then bends down to pick up a sword that looks like Sweet Tooth's sword from Twisted Metal. Amongst the bullets and the sword is an ice-cream cone. This is most likely another Twisted Metal reference.
The ad then pops up with the text 10/23/12. You can check out the other two trailers here and here. Stay tuned for Analog Addiction's coverage to find out what this trailer is ultimately going to be.

Cape Town - The DA Youth has renewed its call for the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) to be disbanded and the money used for other initiatives.
On Tuesday, the NYDA asked Parliament's appropriations standing committee to almost triple its funding for next year to R1.08
billion, up from the R376 million it was granted this financial year, Democratic Alliance Youth leader Makashule Gana said on Wednesday.
"In the face of continued under-performance by the NYDA, the DA Youth welcomes the rejection of the request by the committee and once again asserts that the agency should instead be disbanded and its budget put towards initiatives that can bring about real change to young people, such as a youth wage subsidy," he said.
If the NYDA's R376m budget was allocated to implementing a youth wage subsidy, over 10 162 job opportunities could be created.
"Surely this is of more value to South Africa's youth than an under-performing agency made up of ANC Youth League cronies more interested in their salaries than the welfare of young people?" Gana asked.
"How the agency has the nerve to pull out the begging bowl at every turn to ask for more funding in light of their dismal performance is beyond belief."
He said the NYDA had been without a national board since May 2012.
In a parliamentary reply in March 2012, Minister in the Presidency Collins Chabane had indicated that the NYDA's jobs online database Ä one of the agency's flagship projects aimed at helping young people find jobs Ä had since then connected young people with opportunities in only 10 companies or government departments.
Chabane had admitted that in many of these instances the companies or departments had not even used young people from the database because of the poor quality of candidates, Gana said.
He said the agency had spent only 40 percent of its budget this year on direct projects benefiting young people, and 42 percent (R174m) on salaries for the agency's 387 staff members, many of whom were "ANCYL-aligned cronies".
"It is most encouraging that Parliament is starting to recognise the gross under-performance of the NYDA.
"The DA youth hopes that they will soon come to realise that the NYDA does not have young people's best interests at heart and that state funds can be far better spent," Gana said. - Sapa

Mixin' With Henry Clay People
Filed under: Mixin' With Series,Mixtapes | Posted by: jody
Los Angeles' own Henry Clay People offer us their "Top 10 Songs For A Friendly Card Game". With tunes by Neil Young, Gram Parsons, The Rolling Stones and more, the boys take us on the emotional roller coaster of their typical poker night; a lil cheatin', fightin', makin' up and lovin', all in good fun whilst dealin' and bettin' their pennies away. Henry Clay People are playing a Record Release party this Friday night at Spaceland with the support of the Parson Redheads, Le Switch and Downtown Union Support. The fine folks over at Aquarium Drunkard are giving away some tickets for the show. Head on over for your chance to win. For Cheap Or For Free will be out November 4th on Autumn Tone Records.
Top 10 Songs For a Friendly Game of Cards
1. Neil Young- "Barstool Blues"
Good for an opening hand. Nice mood setter.
2. Rod Stewart- "True Blue"
"Never been a millionaire, and I tell you mama I don't care." This is Rod saying a bunch of things that if he said now would be lies, but it's nice to think that he meant it when he sang it.
3. Jackson Browne- "Redneck Friend"
My friend's dad went to high school with Jackson Browne. I hear he's a class act. This is for when the game finally hits its stride.
4. Gram Parsons- "Return of the Grievous Angel"
This has Andy's all-time favorite opening line. Nice little card table sing-a-long.
5. The Flying Burrito Brothers- "Older Guys"
This is the song to play when everyone decides to take a break halfway through.
6. Chris Bell- "Get Away"
Noah (our bass player) really got me into this record. The snare drum is crazy. Although "Fight At The Table" would probably be a more appropriate choice. I like "Get Away" better.
7. Bash & Pop- "Tiny Pieces"
Another Noah record. Tommy Stinson lives pretty close to us I guess. I'd like to see him on a stage without Buckethead.
8. The Rolling Stones- "Rip This Joint"
If the friendly card should turn into a friendly brawl…
9. Silver Jews- "The Wild Kindness"
This is the song to play after the friendly brawl. Chill people put.
10. The Clash- "The Card Cheat"
For obvious reasons.

Hey WYA,
I love these Mixin' tapes. They're fantastic! Only problem is when I download them to my Mac, half the songs are quicktime files. Anyway you can make them all MP3's? Anyone else having this problem or is it just me?

As mentioned in last Friday's blog, each week I will be showcasing a local clothing or accessory store, in honor of Earth Month, to share ways for you to make a difference with fashion towards an environmental cause. By the end of April you will learn how to re-purpose old clothing in your wardrobe and where to purchase new, eco-friendly, pieces.
For Earth Month, Neroli Salon & Spa is happy to be partnering again this year with The Alliance for the Great Lakes to help raise funds to clean Lake Michigan – a large water resource that has a direct impact on all of us. There are many ways to donate to the cause by visiting any of our locations such as rounding up the total for your services or products, adding a chair massage to your service at $1 per minute, buying raffle tickets, participating in our Cut-a-Thon on Earth Day or purchasing an Aveda candle specifically created in honor of Earth Month fundraising. Ask one of our wonderful team members the next time you are in for more information on ways to contribute.
Feature Boutique:
This week, I would like to feature Anthropologie where organic materials are used to create outfits and interior decor to incorporate into your everyday life. If you think organic, you think environment so stop in to our local Anthropologie, in the Historic Third Ward, 301 N Broadway, and shop their unique selection of organic and environmentally friendly clothing and goods.
Re-Purposing Project:
Turn your old clothes into fabric flowers that can be used in your wardrobe as accessories or throughout your house as decor.
1. Cut a strip of fabric about 2″ wide at whatever length you prefer.
2. Fold fabric in half the long way.
3. Wind fabric around itself, making it tight to start and loosening it as you go along.
4. Secure fabric as you go by running a stitch through the entire wound portion every time you wind it in a full circle.
Note: The bottom will be hidden and can be slightly messy. The longer the fabric strips, the larger the flowers. The width can also be wider than 2″ for large flowers.

Johannesburg -
They were praying when an armed gang stormed in, ordering them to the floor.
Adam Sadick said he was kneeling in prayer last Thursday night when a group of about six men stormed the mosque at the corner of President and Von Brandis streets in the Joburg city centre.
There were about 200 worshippers when the robbery took place, but none were injured and no shots were fired.
"I was praying when I heard people saying 'lie on the floor'. The screams were very loud and terrifying. I just knew we were being robbed," he said.
Despite the attack, Sadick was back at the mosque on Sunday.
"I did not see them come inside. We were facing one direction and praying and they came from behind. It was scary.
"They started searching the pockets of each person, taking all the valuables, such as money and cellphones. I was shaking as I awaited my turn.
"I did not even look at them. I heard that they were armed with guns, but I did not see them."
He had R20 in his pocket, but did not have his cellphone with him.
"The first guy came and searched my pocket. He only found a R20 note because that's the only money I had with me. The second guy came and searched my pockets and found nothing.
"Another one searched me again and also found nothing. I was so scared. I did not know whether they were going to hurt us once they were done with searching us," he said.
Sadick said he was not surprised he was robbed inside a mosque.
"In this country, you get robbed anywhere. The robbers just want money, they don't care whether the people they are targeting are in a sacred place."
On Friday, after the robbery, they decided to employ a security guard in the evenings. The robbery has not discouraged worshippers.
On Sunday, when The Star visited, a small group was praying.
One of the worshippers, who did not want to be identified, said: "We can't let criminals control how we live our lives. I can't stop coming to a mosque because there was a robbery on Thursday. God will protect us."
Crime Line head Yusuf Abramjee said the robbers also stole a safe that contained donation money. It was not clear how much was in it.
He said it was very worrying when places of worship came under attack.
"These criminals have absolutely no respect, and attacking a place of worship again shows the little regard they have for our sacred places."
Abramjee appealed to the community to be vigilant and to report crime immediately.
"For whatever reason, the robbery at this Johannesburg mosque was only reported to police three days later. Charges have now been opened," he said.
"We must ensure that every case is reported without delay. If we don't open charges, we have little to complain about.
"My suspicion is that some of them (the worshippers) are foreigners and that is why they were scared to open a case.
"Irrespective of whether you are a foreigner or not, you must come forward to report a crime."
He appealed to anyone with information to SMS this to CrimeLine at 32211 or call CrimeStop at 08600 10111.

Lesbian Couple Challenges The Defense Of Marriage Act
Imagine being married to a State Police lieutenant who is killed in the line of duty — and then you learn that even though you are the widower of a fallen state employee, you're not eligible for federal benefits that would be available to other widows.
Such could be the case for Kathy Bush, one half of a lesbian couple in Massachusetts. Bush and her partner, Mary Ritchie, married in 2004, when same-sex marriage was legalized by the state. At last, the couple didn't have to worry about hiring lawyers to write contracts stipulating their parental rights and health care plans (something married, straight couples never have to do). But Ritchie and Bush still weren't in the clear.The Federal Defense Of Marriage Act (or DOMA), instituted under President Clinton in 1996, forbids the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages. Not only does this mean the couple each has to file their federal taxes under "single status," but it wouldn't protect Bush (and other gays like her) in the aforementioned circumstance. So Ritchie, Bush, and 17 others are suing the federal government to argue that The Man should recognize same-sex marriage, too.
According to National Public Radio, the lawyers from Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenses plan to argue that DOMA "violates the equal protection clause of the Constitution because it is discriminatory," since the federal government recognizes some marriage licenses but not others. DOMA protects states (say, Oklahoma) from having to legally recognize a same-sex marriage that occurred in another state (say, Massachusetts), but this lawsuit will only argue that same-sex marriages should be recognized by the federal government.
President Obama actually supports repealing DOMA and lawyers for the government have called the act "discriminatory" in legal documents. But unfortunately, the federal government is in the position of having to defend DOMA in a Boston federal court.
Hmm, maybe they can just put some crappy lawyers on the case? I do hope Bush, Ritchie and the other plaintiffs are victorious in their lawsuit; the injustice they're suffering just because they are gay is so blatant. Forty years from now, maybe we'll all look back on the fight for civil rights for gays and think, "Oh, wow, do you remember when things were that way?" [National Public Radio]

Well, it's also missing the code to perform that evaluation. ;-) I haven't really investigated how hard that would be to write, but the environment is available, so it shouldn't require any new infrastructure in the debugger. Currently, when execution is paused, you should be able to mouse over variables to see their values, and to right-click (or equivalent) to set them.

Rogers to launch Motorola Moto X in Canada as an exclusive
As we've mentioned before, our source has informed us that those buying the phone over the Motorola website will be able to select the color of the back plate along with the trim. Yesterday, a new report said that those buying the Moto X online will be able to have the back of the phone engraved. Yesterday's report from ABC News also confirmed what our source told us weeks ago which is not to expect any hardware customization for the Moto X.
Those buying the Motorola Moto X from a carrier like Rogers will have to be happy with a standardized version of the handset. The phone will have a 4.7 inch screen with resolution of 720 x 1280 with a dual-core 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro under the hood. What makes this model so interesting is the sensors on board that will allow the phone to know when you are driving and thus automatically turn on the speaker phone. Additionally, Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside has hinted about a feature that will know when you are about to snap a picture and open up the camera app automatically.

in normal use is enough, but i think cannot play lastest hd game without lag

It has the Adreno 320, so games will play extremely smoothly on this. Something weird, the Moto X scores higher in graphic benchmarks than other devices with similar systems. It scores higher than the Optimus G, which has the quad core version of the S4 Pro, and it scores higher than the Xperia SP which has the exact same dual core S4 Pro the Moto X has; all having the same resolution displays.
7. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Why not? This isn't their flagship device. It's supposed to be mid ranged. It still have the S4 Pro with Adreno 320, so it will be a top performer.
8. OldNorseBruin (Posts: 232; Member since: 12 Mar 2013)
Sucks for the Canadians who are OBLIGATED to sign with ROGERS in order to get this phone; hopefully they'll be able to get an unlocked U.S. version to run on other Canadian wireless providers.

WORCESTER residents can have their say on new licensing rules for the opening of sexual entertainment venues in the city.
Worcester City Council is introducing new licensing rules for the opening of sex shops, sex cinemas and other venues which could stop licenses being granted if, for example, the applicant is considered unsuitable or the character of a city area could be adversely affected.
The council wants to hear the views of local people on the draft policy, which can be read by visiting www.worcester.gov.uk/voiceit.
Members of the public have until October 24 to have their say, which can also be done by writing to Licensing, Worcestershire Regulatory Services, Wyatt House, The Butts, Worcester, WR1 2PA.
