What happens if I miss a dose (Miostat)?
Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next regularly scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and apply the next one as directed. Do not use a double dose of this medication.
What happens if I overdose (Miostat)?
Seek emergency medical attention if an overdose is suspected or if the drops have been ingested.
Symptoms of a carbachol ophthalmic overdose may include sweating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, watering mouth, and tearing eyes.
What should I avoid while using carbachol ophthalmic (Miostat)?
Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Carbachol ophthalmic may cause decreased vision at night. If you experience decreased vision, avoid these activities.
Do not touch the dropper to any surface, including the eyes or hands. The dropper is sterile. If it becomes contaminated, it could cause an infection in the eye.
If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying carbachol ophthalmic. Ask your doctor if contact lenses can be reinserted after application of the medication. Carbachol ophthalmic may contain a preservative (benzalkonium chloride), which may cause discoloration of contact lenses.
Do not use other eye medications during treatment with carbachol ophthalmic except under the direction of your doctor.
What other drugs will affect carbachol ophthalmic (Miostat)?
Before using this medication, tell your doctor if you are using another eye medication, especially if it is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as flurbiprofen (Ocufen), suprofen (Profenal), diclofenac (Voltaren), or ketorolac (Acular).
Do not use other eye medications during treatment with carbachol ophthalmic except under the direction of your doctor.
Drugs other than those listed here may also interact with carbachol ophthalmic. Talk to your doctor and pharmacist before taking any prescription or over-the-counter medicines, including vitamins, minerals, and herbal products.
Where can I get more information?

Van de Voorde's pictures exhibit a surreal space. The world is almost deserted and its inhabitants stray far from the camera's lens. His work is a conversation between himself and the place he lives in Canberra, Australia. Place speaks to Van de Voorde like a muse as his images capture what lies ahead in a scene. Van de Voorde's work challenges the notion of what a landscape is by the inclusion of familiar relics from the modern era: barrels, picnic tables, skeletal remnants of automobiles are seen anew in front of his camera. What the viewer gets a sense of is the feeling of discovery through the distant view of things that envelop the eye and reach within the psyché. There's an uncanny feeling that something's happened; it's what Van de Voorde doesn't show us over that hill or behind that building that hold our interest.
What lies in those details in an immense understanding of a bucolic irony in a social landscape. It doesn't matter if I get what Van de Voorde's part of Australia is about; it's how his meaningful surveys convey a mood and what that mood might mean to a viewer. I can still make out lines of cars in the junkyard, past a parking lot with a light on, it's not the smoldering embers of a fire, no; it's something lighter. A fog rolls in to view as a feeling of quiet falls.

- Luxury Facial: $64 (All of our facials are a full hour and include upper body massage and a hydrating mask)
- Luxury Back Facial: $79 (Facial for the Back)
- Deep Pore Facial for Oily/Acne Prone Skin Type: $69
- Microdermabrasion Facial: $99
- Dermaplane Facial: $99
- Acupressure Facial for Sinus Relief: $69
- O2 Lift Facial: $99
Luxury Facials
Facials are treatments of the epidermis designed to enhance the look and texture of facial skin by cleansing, hydrating, removing dead skin cells, unblocking clogged pores, and/or tightening the facial skin. The benefits of facials can go more than skin deep, though, providing a sense of relaxation and peace while enhancing self confidence and promoting a general feeling of well being.
Luxury Facials Include:
- Exfoliation: Exfoliants to stimulate cell renewal, remove dry skin, break down stubborn discoloration (brown spots) and fade post-breakout red/dark marks. Exfoliation also allows action ingredients to absorb deeper within the skin for maximum skin results.
- Head, face, neck and shoulder massage: Not only is it incredibly relaxing, but facial massage helps to increase micro-circulation to bring new nutrients to the skin at the cellular level.
- Steam: The heat that the steam produces will raise the temperature of the skin and soften the hardened oil in the pore, making it easier for extraction and deep pore cleansing. Steam is also excellent for hydrating the skin as long as the moisture is sealed in with a cream afterwards, to prevent the moisture from evaporating.
- Manual extraction: When it comes to clogged pores and blackheads, there is no more effective way to remove them than with manual removal (gentle squeezing) as skin care products will not remove blackheads. At Serenity, we use special skin-softening treatments along with steam to prepare the pores for manual extractions to minimize redness afterward.
- Toning/Mask: Used at the end of the facial, masks help to lower the temperature of the skin to reduce redness and to deeply hydrate. In all of our facials, we use a hydrating mask to give the skin an amazing glow!
Acupressure Facial
Target sinus tension and congestion with Serenity's Acupressure Facial. Enjoy a relaxing Shiatsu Facial with one of Serenity's licensed estheticians. The Acupressure Facial is an hour long treatment that targets the release of sinus tension and congestion by focusing on the sinus pressure points while cleansing, moisturizing, and toning the skin.
A Infrared Sauna Treatment to reduce inflammation in the sinuses while generating a number of additional health benefits to the body is also highly recommended with this service.
Chemical Peels
Organic Passion Peel & Four Layer Face-lift Peel: $89
Chemical Peels are also used to treat the superficial layers of the skin with the use of active enzymes to promote a healthy glow. Chemical Peels work by encouraging the most superficial layers of the skin to be removed thus leaving the younger, more vital looking skin from underneath to shine.
The Image Skincare chemical peels used at Serenity are both safe and effective in the treatment of dull and tired looking skin, dehydrated skin, unbalanced/oily/acne prone skin, irritated and sensitive skin. The Organic Passion Peel is safe for expecting mothers and our Four Layer Signature Peel has been shown to be one of the only effective treatments for pigmentation concerns associated with Rosacea.
BOTOX PRICING: $12.50 Per Unit

A Peek Into the Paleo Diet: Dinner with Philip & Leona
Last month when I visited the home of Philip Sumner and Leona Laurie to shoot their House Tour feature for Apartment Therapy, the two of them fed me a delicious lunch and dinner. They have chosen to follow the Paleo diet, adopting it as a way of eating, and also as a lifestyle. Here's a peek into what dinner with them is like, eating the Paleo way.
Maybe I'm behind the the times of eating trends, but before I met Philip and Leona I had never heard of the Paleo diet. I knew about raw foods, eating for your blood type, eating gluten-free, the Atkins Diet, the South Beach Diet — but never Paleo. As someone who was a vegetarian for 10 years, but also suffered from IBS and once believed I had Celiac — I'm willing to try anything in the name of healthy digestion and sustainable living.
I'm still learning my way around what works for me — very little gluten or dairy, small amounts of chicken and fish, red meat once every few months and no caffeine. You would think this limits someone like me from a lot but it really hasn't. You just need to be creative about eating simpler meals. Given this background, here's what I learned and some reflections on the Paleo lifestyle.
Why Philip Went Paleo
1. What is the Paleo Diet?
Meats, vegetables, fruits and nuts. The foods human beings have been eating for the longest period of time.
2. How long have you been living the Paleo lifestyle?
About two years.
3. What were some of the reasons why you changed your eating habits ?
My version of the Paleo diet is always developing but at its core is the idea that "man" is complete and the foods best for him are those that are the most natural to him. No cereals in goofy boxes, nothing canned — in fact, nothing that can't be consumed raw (although we cook most everything). Most modern food is advertising. There is freedom in understanding that the essentials are all that matter. Plus you can eat a lot of food and I love to eat!
4. What are some of the benefits of the Paleo diet? And what are some of the drawbacks, or rather things you may have to consider, like if you're a vegetarian for instance ?
If you eat this way without compromise, your system will run smoothly and efficiently. The mental clarity is kind of astonishing at first but pretty soon it feels natural and you want to preserve it, so no cheating! Also, be careful where you get your information. If you want informed answers you can contact me.
The Paleo way of eating is pretty much in direct opposition to vegetarian and vegan diets and in many more ways than just eating meat. I support anyone who is making conscious, purposeful choices though!
The Evening's Dinner Menu
• Crudites platter featuring red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, carrots, and celery
• Halved cherry tomatoes
• Red and green seedless grapes
• Baby spinach, avocado, and blueberries — the trick is to massage the avocado into the spinach before adding the blueberries and tossing. It acts like a creamy dressing!
• Lemon and lime wedges for those who want additional "dressing"
Main Course:
• Unmarinated steak tips and boneless chicken breasts from The Meat House in Costa Mesa. When the meat is natural and high-quality, you don't need marinade for it to be delicious.
• Grilled asparagus
• Grilled portobello mushroom caps
• Mint herbal tea with (optional) raw honey
• Medjool dates
• Raw walnuts
• Raw Pecans
• Sliced fruit platter (bosc pears and pink lady apples) with raw, unsalted almond butter for dipping
There really aren't any recipes for the above — just a lot of chopping and a little grilling.
Tips from Leona on Preparing Meals
What are some alternative meals and ideas for delicious Paleo meals?
Some alternative paleo meals would be:
• Paleo "deviled" eggs: Hard-boil a dozen eggs, and slice them neatly in half. In a bowl, mash the egg yolks with avocado (one big avocado should be plenty). If you like a little spice, stir in 1/2 minced habanero. Fill halved eggs with yolk/avocado mixture, and top with small pieces of thinly sliced roasted or smoked meat.
• Stuffed mushroom caps: mince mushroom stems, garlic, tomatoes, fresh basil, and onion, and sauteed with ground pork (about 1/2lb to about 1lb of mushrooms). Place mushroom caps on cookie sheet in oven at 350 for duration of stuffing prep time. When stuffing is cooked, remove mushroom caps from oven & fill with stuffing.
• Tropical fruit platter: slice a variety of tropical fruits and arrange them beautifully to be eaten with fingers.
• Mixed greens with tomato, avocado, and thinly sliced red onion: Massage two avocados into a large bowl of mixed greens. Add chopped tomatoes and onion and toss. Serve with lemon wedges.
• Grilled vegetable salad: Prepare greens with avocado as above, adding uncooked, chopped tomato and onion to your preference. Cook sliced squash, eggplant, onion, mushrooms, red bell pepper and zucchini on a grill (or in aluminum foil under a broiler) to taste. Allow to cool slightly and toss into salad. • Fennel: Thinly slice 1-2 fennel bulbs and toss in a mixture of lemon juice & olive oil (about a 2-1 ratio). Allow to marinate for an hour in the fridge before serving cold.
Main Courses:
• Spicy Apricot Ribs: Braise 1-2 racks of pork ribs in the oven at 350 for one hour (ribs should be submerged in water & the pans should be covered). Drain off water & pour sauce over ribs. Re-cover pans & cook for an additional 2-3 hours. For Sauce: Puree 3lbs fresh apricots with 1-2 habaneros (seeded & de-veined) and 1c natural juice (preferably apricot or peach). Roughly chop 5-10 apricots to add to sauce just before pouring over ribs. Serve with: Cabbage sauteed in a portion of the apricot sauce. Additional vegetables can be cooked in the sauce with the ribs (try cauliflower!), and a slow cooker can be used in lieu of the second phase of oven cooking.
• Thai-inspired Chicken: Puree 2 cans pure coconut milk with 1-2 tsp chili powder, 1 bunch cilantro, and 1-2 cloves garlic. Chop 1-2 pieces of lemongrass & add to puree. Pour over chicken thighs & breasts in a 9x13 baking dish, adding chopped onions and any mushrooms you like. Cover with aluminum foil & bake at 375 for at least one hour. Delicious served with sautéed cabbage or stir-fried broccoli.
• Grilled Salmon & asparagus: I like to get a salmon fillet with the skin still on and put it skin-side-down on the grill for 12 minutes. Just wash it gently with water before tossing it on the grill. Blanche asparagus in boiling water for 4 minutes. Serve both with lemon wedges.
• Meringue Tarts: Using the whisk attachment on a hand or standing mixer, whip three egg whites and 1/4tsp cream of tartar until white & foamy on med speed. Add 1/8c raw honey while mixing, and continue until mixture holds a stiff peak. Spoon onto a parchment paper-covered cookie sheet into piles about 1- 1 1/2 c big, and use a spoon to shape the piles into shells. Bake at 250 until just golden, then drop temperature to 105 & allow to dehydrate for up to two more hours. When cool, fill with fresh fruits or with fresh fruit simmered and reduced. (This recipe is still a work in progress, but it's delicious!)
• Fresh Berries, Peaches, or other seasonal fruits.
• Mango Sorbet: Puree mangos with raw honey to taste (it doesn't need much) and a splash of lemon or lime juice. Either use an ice cream maker to turn into sorbet, or pour into a pre-chilled 8x8 square pyrex dish & place in freezer, stirring every 30 minutes until sorbeted.

this is a beautifully-photographed, informative post. While i'm not going paleo anytime soon, i am inspired by these lovely meals!
That sounds wonderful.. I will have to look at the Paleo diet
I agree with the comment about photography! Beautiful!
I did have a problem with Philips comment: "Also, be careful where you get your information. If you want informed answers you can contact me."
Er, what qualifies him as the be-all end-all of Paleo diet and lifestyle information? 2 years experience? Was anyone else rubbed the wrong way by that comment?
Other than that - very informative post! Thanks!
It would be great if Philip could recommend a few websites or books that he feels are trustworthy.
I eat this way, too, although I eat small amounts of dairy, as well, as in the Primal Blueprint. Cutting out grains and legumes has made room on the plate for more vegetables. I was never much of a bread-eater, but I do miss my homemade split pea soup. Other than that, not much of a sacrifice. The Paleo/Primal community is huge and there are hundreds of excellent blogs that provide recipes and food porn.
By the way, The Kitchn did a feature on the kitchen of someone who follows a Paleo diet. I think it was last year.
I eat this way too, and I highly suggest Robb Wolf's site at http://robbwolf.com/ and Mark's Daily Apple: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/
I'm a paleo-dieter, and I can recommend "The Paleo Diet" by Dr. Cordain (I can't remember his first name - Barnes and Nobles carries it), and also the website "Mark's Daily Apple": www.marksdailyapple.com
Dr. Cordain also has a website at: http://thepaleodiet.com/ and a cookbook. There are gobs of paleo-diet cooking websites, if you just google them, and they vary from super-strict to a little lax, but still successful (Mark's Daily Apple allows cottage cheese, for instance, and some dieters cut out ALL dairy).
As a home-cook vegetarian (few foods-in-boxes, lots of raw eating, simple prep, no preservatives) who thinks the dinner above sounds delicious - even the meat, for them what eats it - I really fail to see how a paleo diet "is pretty much in direct opposition to vegetarian and vegan diets and in many more ways than just eating meat" as Philip says. I don't see how their method of eating - mindful, historical, home-cooked, real food ingredients, includes eggs - is in opposition with mine: mindful, historical, home-cooked, real food ingredients, includes eggs, but lacks meat and adds dairy. When I think of diets paleo is "in oppostion to" I'd be more likely to suggest a raw diet (with its low- or no-heat and vegan nature) or maybe even the "typical" American diet (cans, bags, out-of-season, processed, fast, under-fibered, and way way oversweetened).
Maybe I'm hearing "opposition" differently than it is meant, but I see a place for myself at this delectable table and I don't feel opposed at all! Avocado "dressed" spinach, raw honey, fruit, grilled veggies? YUM!
I third the recommendation of Mark's Daily Apple. You can download two free cookbooks of reader-submitted recipes, as well as a free fitness guide. (No, I was not paid to say that)
I love how many commenters - though maybe it's self-selecting? - are also eating Paleo or Primal. I found my way in through Mark's Daily Apple which, as other have mentioned, makes more allowances for the modern world - some dairy and dark chocolate.
I think the key-- well, there are two of them. First is cutting out grains, which is sure to be more controversial. But from what I've read - and this includes science reading! - they're really unnecessary and probably harmful. But second, the idea of not eating processed foods. It just seems like the most obviously healthful choice I can make. And - look at these pictures - totally delicious.
This is interesting and yay lots of veggies with some meat, but good GOD would I miss homemade white bread!
Robb Wolf is huge in the Paleo world, he has a book called 'The Paleo Solution' and a weekly podcast and is well educated in why the paleo diet is efficient for us as human's. It's very interesting and of course controversial.
I started on Paleo just a month ago - and I was a huge skeptic - and I can report a dramatic difference in many areas:
I fall to sleep faster and sleep deeper than I have in a long time.
I have more energy and focus.
I feel satisfied after eating but not bloated.
The biggest difference, and probably the hardest to adhere to, was cutting out all grains and gluten. I had a slice of bread for the first time in 35 days and it was like a swallowed a brick. I'm hooked now!
Welcome to the diet that most of the rest of the world eats. And totally cutting out grain? Utterly ridiculous. The loaf of bread has been a staple of the kitchen table for thousands of years. To think that it somehow needs to go in order to control blood sugar, etc. is ridiculous and only a properly conducted, double blind scientific study would prove to me otherwise (and not some pseudo-scientific article in a nutritional magazine). One's entire diet needs to be geared towards eating products that aren't packaged, refined or processed. I am continuously shocked by the stuff that gets passed off as "revolutionary diet news" in the States. This "diet" is the product of a culture with too much choice and not enough self-control. You'd never see a family in the Third World saying they were "doing Paleo". Honestly.
i am very intrigued by the paleo diet, but the prospect of no spices, no salt and no baking doesn't appeal to me... and how could i ever give up cheese? oh precious cheese.
This is the first I've heard of the Paleo Diet and I'm interested to try it out! My one concern is that I'm hypoglycemic and I rely heavily on grains to get enough sugar in my diet. Should I even bother trying?
Zoeroth, Third World families aren't visiting cooking blogs, or planning Mothers' Day brunches, either. It's true that we (all of us here, Paleo or not) enjoy the privilege of being able to choose what we want to eat, and can consider macro- and micronutrients over calories. It's not fair, that's true. But many people have trouble digesting grains and attribute their discomfort to having eaten too much or too quickly. Personally, I did not realize just how lousy I had been feeling until I no longer had a bellyache after every meal -- and I had been eating all homemade, whole grain, etc., and no processed foods. I am not advocating that anyone else eat this way as I am not a qualified nutrition expert, but the fact is that it can't hurt you. All of the nutrients in grains and legumes are also available in other foods.
I've been taught to never argue religion, politics, nor nutrition -- those 3 seem to hit the average person too close to home to ever have a respectful, non-escalating, debate (note: the average person -- not all people)
But Zoeroth is speaking the truth. My mother grew up in rural Trinidad. It's not a "third world" country, but they lived humble lives. They ate what was available to them which consisted of whatever grew from the trees in the back yard (mango, avocado etc) , curried vegetables, tea/water/milk, rice or homemade bread, and occasionally a (very) small piece of meat because meat was, and still is, expensive comparatively.
This whole idea of processed foods is largely an American occurrence. Most people around the world don't eat like Americans. They eat MUCH closer to the earth. They don't seem to need "diets" to regulate their systems because they don't eat all types of BS pseudo-foods...its pretty simple, and doesn't require a name to turn it into a fad...
oh yes -- and I agree about Philip claiming to be some sort of authority on the topic having been eating this way for a whopping 2 years...
but -- I'm sure he didn't actually mean it in that manner
To take this on another tangent -- barbequeing with open flame on an asphalt roof is illegal and really very dangerous. Doing it without anything on one's foot is just plain stupid.
BUT, I agree re photography -- beautifully shot.
Not gonna get into the diet quagmire . . .
I'm with Zoeroth on this one. Bread, cheese, dairy have all been in the human diet for millennia so I'm going to keep eating them. I have to wonder how those meringue tarts are "paleo" since I'm assuming early man did not have cream of tartar or a mixer. But on a larger note Philip says they eat nothing canned or preserved because that's not Paleo. That's awesome for people who live in California or a tropical climate where fruits and veggies can be grown all year. But for the rest of us it would mean eating only root vegetables for about 4 months. Also he says they eat anything you could eat raw. I challenge him to eat some raw pork or raw chicken. Since he's the expert, I'm just saying.
To the commenters saying that humans have been eating grains for millenia - grain as a significant staple is, in evolutionary terms, a new innovation. Our bodies haven't adapted to them, or, more specifically, didn't evolve with them. So they are completely unnecessary, nutritionally, and there are strong arguments that they are harmful.
There is also the question of the high-carbohydrate diet of which grains are a major component. Although cutting processed foods helps majorly, grains lead us too much toward a carbohydrate load that can trigger too much insulin, leading to all sorts of problems.
That's part of what I like about Paleo/Primal eating - there's a strong holistic sense to it, and also specific scientific evidence backing it up.
So no alcohol to drink ever? A glass of wine? vodka?
I have been primal/paleo for a year now and LOVE it. I will never go back! If you are looking for more energy and the end to many digestive problems, I really encourage you to give it a try.
As far as books go:
If you really want the hardcore science behind it ( this is not really a fun read, but you learn a lot) then get
Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes
For primal (which allows some dairy and a few minor changes from paleo) then get
Primal Blueprint (and definitely check out marksdailyapple.com, some of the best nutrition advice on the internet).

And there are some awesome paleo/primal cooking blogs out there! I love to cook and have never felt like I was giving up anything by giving up grains. My favorites:
@whatyousay: giving up grains and sugar makes your body adapt to burning fat for energy instead of needing a glucose hit every few hours. I used to get horrible headaches if I missed a meal, but after the transition (which wasn't fun), I no longer get headaches or blood sugar spikes.
I'm not seeing too many fresh herbs in these recipes. I would think that fresh dill, thyme, sage, etc. would be okay.
@bkg0712 No, you can drink. Both red wine & vodka are considered low carb.
I love food. I collect cookbooks, I read dozens of food blogs, I cook all meals for my family of six. But I have never had a good relationship with food. Food allergies throughout my life and a sudden dramatic lactose intolerance as an adult. Two weeks ago I began the Primal Diet (Based on The Primal Blueprint). My health only two weeks later is amazingly better. My skin is gorgeous, clear and smooth and my body fat has dropped fairly dramatically. (I am in excellent shape already but dropped 2-3% body fat in the first week.) I really loved seeing this article today here. Thanks for sharing.
'Paleo' is an abbreviation for 'paleolithic', which refers to a pre-agricultural time period that ended over 10,000 years ago. For most of that time humans did not even exist, and while we know very little for certain about what human ancestors or the earliest humans ate during that time period, what we can be relatively sure of is that very little if ANY of it is available today, and odds are you won't be able to find it at your grocery store.
The most IMPORTANT aspect of paleolithic eating would have been the fact that it was SUPER-LOCAL. Humans and the hominins that preceded them ate what they came upon, what grew near them or what grazed near them. None of the modern hunter-gatherers or nomadic peoples adhere to a comparable diet and we have very little info on the dietary health of the earliest humans so an attempt to genuinely reconstruct that kind of diet would be ill-advised. Luckily, that isn't what these people are doing, they are just avoiding highly processed foods, and appear to be making the error of associating 'grain' with 'agriculture' and forgetting that those cherry tomatoes are just as much a product of modern agriculture as the grain that goes into your flour is.
Eat this way if you like, but have some respect for history and evolution and call it something other than 'paleo'.
And FYI, the most recent data on diet in Paranthropus bosei, one of those paleolithic human ancestors, indicates they were eating a LOT of C4 grasses - modern correlates would include corn and millet.
There's a lot of picking and choosing from an unclear prehistorical record involved in defining this "paleo" thing.
First of all, how far back are we going here? Is 10,000 years enough to be considered paleo? Or are you not truly paleo if you're not ignoring developments since 500,000 BCE? There seems to be some significant fuzziness there.
Secondly, evolutionary arguments are pretty sketchy. People have been eating grains for at least 15,000 years, with rice, today, being the most important staple on the planet. I think we've adapted. Similarly, cow's milk has been cultivated agriculturally for at least 7,000 years, and Europeans, at least, have relied on it so heavily that a vast majority of people of European descent have adapted to it. The first settlers of Japan had a rough time adapting to the local foliage, which is why many of them are uniquely able to metabolize seaweed today.
As slowly as evolution occurs, animals adapt pretty quickly to food shortages. Those individuals that don't figure out a way to find nourishment during a famine die and fail to reproduce. Those that do live and procreate. Easy as that. Arguments that we weren't meant to eat certain foods are all well and good until every other source of food vanishes, and then you may need to expand your options.
I'm on board with eating only naturally derived foods and avoiding dairy and generally taking care of oneself, but claiming some kind of justification based on an unknowable historical record is as douchey as a pin-striped blazer on an athletic gray tee shirt.
evolutionarily speaking, 15,000 years is peanuts.... which, by the way, are not included on the diet either. Thanks for the comment about my blazer, way to keep it high brow. Just kidding, you seem like a very nice, intelligent person!
Thank you for all the wonderful comments! And thanks again Bethany. The photos look great!
There is one more paragraph I wanted to squeeze into the interview but I understand why it wasn't included. You can read more on my site:
Diet is a very personal and polarizing subject... still, I enjoy talking about it very much. I feel Progress is rarely made without a bit of argument and I am interested in progressing everyday.
As far as the "questionable information" out there.. there is a food list online by Cordain which includes red wine, beer, vinegar and diet soda???? as things to be used in moderation. It's my opinion that none of these things have any place in a primal diet... or a modern diet. Cordain put a lot of information out early and he is certainly considered an authority... but some of his conclusions are logically wrong. We try to eat as organic and natural as we can.
You can find his list here:
Here are some informative sites for anyone interested:
I am an ultra marathon level runner and Free diver. My performance has changed so dramatically since moving to this diet It is difficult to fathom. The clarity as well is very special. The reason I eat the way I do is to live as long as I can as healthy as I can. Thank you!!
Also, Please don't infer that I lead a cult. That is untrue and unnecessary.
@Nora Rocket--
I'm with you on the lacto-ovo/vegan thing. Unless you're talking about someone who replaces all their meat and dairy with overly-processed soy substitutes or other processed food, a vegetarian or vegan diet is very similar to a paleo diet. It's a focus on wholefoods rather than the very modern, very chemical-laden and nutrient-deficient food available in grocery stores and at fast food chains. Just swap grains and legumes for meat, and there you go.
I just love when people trot out the 'we haven't evolved for that' rationale. Evolution can be genetic drift that occurs over a period of time (isn't necessarily thousands of years, folks) or if it can be a sudden shift (doesn't have to be the result of a catastrophic event). So, unless you have compared the metabolic capabilities of modern man and man before grains became a normal part of the diet at an enzymatic level, you have no idea whether we've evolved to better digest grains or not. And, neither do I.
Whether grains are good for us or not - that's a separate issue. Obviously, they're not good for some. I don't think we know whether or not we can generalize that they're harmful for all.
Philip -- Thanks for the classy response to my uncalled for but still mildly humorous blazer comment. I hereby withdraw the point. Internet handshake.
Hey! Thanks very much portlandy. I appreciate it. Hope all is well!
When you eat paleo, you dramatically cut the sugars in your diet, replacing them with fats and proteins. It's actually ideal for hypoglycemic people because your body no longer gets those sugar swings.
FTR there are many different ways of doing this and many of us do eat dairy products, in varying amounts. The main things I eliminated were sugar and grains. Once you get your head wrapped around the concept, you realize how many other delicious combinations of food there are.
I write about the nutritional controversy & how to do it in www.carboholicsanonymous.com
I would miss olive oil, which I use to dress vegetables. Otherwise, this sounds good.
pearmelon, paleo and primal dieters use lots of olive oil. spices as well. i eat primally (basically a version of paleo that believes dairy is fine to eat for people who handle it well) and i'm not very satisfied with this post. everything seems a little bland. no spices, oils, or GARLIC. wtf. this post actually does a disservice to the way of eating.
*sigh* I am trying to be open minded because this is a food blog. But we need fermented foods just as much as other foods.
Considering that we can't culture even half of the bacteria that resides in human gut, let alone understand their interactions, it would be safe to assume that eating everything in moderation is best. You love fresh veggies? Great. You love meat? Great, get a leaner cut and season it if you really want to. You want fresh baked bread that gives you that high when you crack it? Sure, just don't eat the whole loaf in one sitting ;). Cheese? Yes please. Assuming that Paleolithic people never consumed grains, or non human milk products is a bit silly in my opinion.
Point being is that we need out bifidobacterium and lactococcus, and fermentation process of coccoa (which is natural) won't hurt us.
Just try to avoid preservatives, and most importantly keep a positive outlook on life! If anything really cuts our years short is depression and lack of social interaction (the latter is why I am typing here).
@whatyousay- I'm also hypoglycemic, and I've found that moving away from carbs to control my sugar and eating a protein/fat snack helps SO much. An apple with peanut butter will really get me through the afternoon, but a granola bar would kick my butt after an hour. I don't eat paleo right now, but I'm certainly intrigued by the possibility of better avoiding the blood sugar lows.
It is also kind of hard for me to embrace a, let's call it, scientifically based diet, that so unscientifically groups its foods.
Link given
The distinction between fruits and vegetables is so poor. Peppers, eggplant, squash, tomato, and cucumbers are all fruit. Mushrooms don't even fall into a plant category. The rest are mainly flowers, greens, or modified roots and leaves.
It is also interesting that organ meats are on the recommended list, but if Paleolithic people did not have cooking tools to break down toxins in potatoes and etc., how would they destroy bacteria of organ meats. I could play with the idea of eating plain muscle raw if needed, as technically it is sterile in the body, so if it was consumed fast (who's hungry?) that shouldn't really be a problem (but then we could be venturing into the prion arguement). But during the harvest of internal organs there is a high risk of contamination from the GI tract. Therefore kidneys, liver, udders (yum!), and whatever else has to be properly cooked. If there were no tools to cook it, I doubt Paleolithic people would have lived long and healthy lives (assuming that we are talking just nutrition and possible diseases we could get from improper cooking. Cutaneous and respiratory infections, viruses, and feral animals aside)
have* to be properly cooked.
The Inuit traditional diet includes raw liver. Food poisoning from raw organ meat surely happens, but it likely wouldn't be the death of any humans (or animals) that ate raw organs.
Where I live the fruits and vegetables are either extremely low quality or overly expensive. also, i dont like the bad light it puts human creativity in. Obviously if humans didnt develop a need to do more than just survive, they wouldnt have made all these "evil" chocolates and breads and cakes. I'm one of those people that believes you wont die if you cave and have 3 cookies once every 2 weeks. My brother is on a diet where he eats low calorie, healthy meals through the week, and then splurges a bit more on the weekend. He's lost a good ammount of weight and is quite healthy.
Recent archaeological evidence has started putting the date for earliest cooking fires back pretty far, and it is getting more and more likely that at least paleolithic humans had fire, and perhaps even earlier Homo species. What's more, despite the 'raw food' craze, humans really aren't best adapted for a primarily raw diet - the pre-digestive role that cooking plays is essential to allow for the proper digestion and absorption of most foods. The reason so many people have claimed fantastic weight loss with a raw diet is because they have essentially found a way to starve themselves while still filling their stomachs and therefore not feeling 'hungry'.
When it comes to reconstructing an actual paleolithic diet, especially re: organ meats, the question of acquisition is also really important. The 'Man the Hunter' idea was proven as terribly false many years ago, human ancestors were scavengers, so those that were 'pre-fire' probably did NOT eat organ meat, except perhaps as a display-type ritual, 'look how fit I am come mate with me' kind of thing. If fire came before hunting, and it looks like it may have, organ meats are back 'on the table', but the issue is one of what was available to scavenge. Odds are, pre-agricultural (especially pre-hunting) humans ate what was available.
I completely agree with you. I was just going by the information provided in the links to us by Philip, one of which said that fire was not available, which in their opinion supports their decision not to eat legumes and grains. So my argument was if the fire is not available, how do you eat the suggested foods anyways?
It all sounds to me very much like pseudo science.
Love the comments posted ny2midmo.
Me, I'm going on the Pleistocene diet. Lots of snow. Maybe some scavenged mammoth tendon. Who wants to race me across the land bridge? And dang, where did I put that flint knife? I need it to prepare my amuse-bouche of rhyolitic loess. You know. For the fiber.
This diet is also good for diabetics. Many dietitians have recommended around 130 grams/day of carbs and that for me at least is horribly high. So I tried this Paleo diet, now I have cheese but only eat turnips, califlower and quinoa for "starch" sides. Works beautifully for me. Best glucose numbers ever. Glucose monitors don't lie and that my yardstick for comparison. There's a website called diabetic warrior out there as well, he's also Paleo
I've been eating primal (which allows some dairy)/paleo for one year and I've never felt better. My meals are a bit more varied than this one though--I definitely use lots of herbs, spices and coconut milk/oil for flavoring. Additionally, I eat a lot of fermented foods like kimchi and sauerkraut that are healthy.
The reason why people who eat this way think grains and legumes are bad is that they contain substances that damage the lining of our intestines and allow large protein molecules into the blood stream. Our immune system produces antibodies against these foreign proteins that resemble proteins on some of our cell walls, so the immune system ends up attacking some of our own cells, creating auto-immune disease and inflammation. I highly recommend that anyone with chronic health problems try this way of eating for a month.
When someone says you need grains to be healthy, I say what am I missing? I get all the fiber I need from veg and fruit, and all the vitamins and minerals I need from meat, vegetables and sunlight. There's a reason grains are typically fortified to make them more nutrient dense; they don't have much going for them to begin with. As Robb Wolf says, you can live on grains/legumes, but you can't really thrive on them. They're cheap fuel.
I'm with Zoeroth and Chinatown on this one. You know cutting anything 100% out of your diet unless you have an allergy i think is not smart. all food that is eating with it reason add to a balanced diet. and i also have hypoglycemia and have found that a nice slice of artasan bread always does the trick when i´m about to have a low. Much better than if i ate just an apple...
@philipsumner - I apologize if my comment implied cultish associations. I definitely did NOT intend for that sentiment to come across! I just wished that, in the interview, you'd provided more sources rather than positioning yourself as an apparent sole source of information. Thank you for replying and giving us more info - I'm extremely intrigued by the Paleo lifestyle and appreciate your information!
I'm enjoying the logic of the way humans used to do it, back in paleo time, is the right way to do things! Let me switch to this diet, and after that, I'm giving up shoes, clothes made out of cotton, running water, and medication for illnesses!
I just can't get behind super elitist movements.
Eat less, move more. Does it REALLY have to be more complicated than that?
Nice pictures! I will share that I've been eating much more whole food, and gradually becoming more raw. I noticed that my body reacts well when I limit dairy and gluten, but the big surprise was discovering a "mill your own flour" bin in the grocery store. We started milling- grinding up the entire wheat pieces- and have had zero bread related tummy problems. Of course,w e are still working on the recipe, but it's been an amazing change.
I definitely understand the appeal of the paleo/primal diet. I've read "Primal Body, Primal Mind", "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration" (highly recommend that book btw), and visit Mark's Daily Apple from time to time. I started cutting out a lot of grains after I had gestational diabetes with my first pregnancy, with very positive results. The one issue that keeps nagging me about this way of eating is the sustainability factor (like someone else said, only people living in warm climates could eat that kind of meal on a regular basis). I'd like to someday be able to grow a large percentage of my own food, and buy why I can't grow/raise from neighbors. I'm close to that now with an awesome CSA that provides us with dairy, meat and veggies all year long. (We're in the midwest, and we pretty much do eat root vegetables all winter long, much to the chagrin of my mother who thinks we need fresh greens at all times.) I now buy bulk dry beans and bulk whole corn, which I grind myself, to supplement the food from the CSA. I'm also growing these in the garden this year.
Sorry this is so rambling, but my point in saying all this is: yes, I understand the benefits of eating just meat and veggies and berries, but locality and self-sustainability is more of a priority for me. If I can grow it my backyard, I'm happy to feed it to myself and my family.
I like the ideas around the Paleo diet, but the anthropology presented with it is often wrong: for example, there's plenty of evidence of humans gathering grains well before the advent of agriculture. Not refined white flour sort of grains, but boiling and eating gathered grains like millet and spelt and probably even some species of wheat. The idea that cereal grains are something "unnatural" we only started eating after the advent of agriculture is completely unsupported and probably not heathy. We can reduce our cereal intake, but it's probably not optimal to eliminate, especially for anyone getting regular intense exercise.
Pseudo science at its worst. Attributing one's physical changes to diet can be problematic since you do not actually know if it was correlation or causation.
The idea that these foods are at all "natural" or the "best" is laughable. Most likely these individuals' ancestors would never have eaten avocado, dates, habaneros, lemongrass, coconut milk, or - cream of tartar. They never would have eaten the domesticated breeds of fruits and vegetables that they do. Spinach for example, is the battery hen of the greens world - our ancestors would have been eating plants like watercress, pigweed, and cattail shoots, since spinach as we know it wouldn't have existed for quite a while.
It's this kind of pseudoscience like this that makes me upset, since people are misinforming others. This diet is not any better than the South Beach, Atkin's or the others we've seen over the years, and is using incorrect inferential information to support their theory.
for all the people bitching about this dietary lifestyle, for every fat paleo practicing person you show me, i'll show you ten fat vegans/vegetarians and one hundred fat people with regular western diets. Point is, you'll be hard pressed to find any people avoiding grains and sugars to be unhealthy. I know lot's of overweight vegetarians and vegans, too many grains in their diets.
All I have to say is that when I eat (for a significant period of time) whole veggies, fruits, nuts, lean meats and spice it up however I like, I can't deny it's the best I have ever felt! Digestion becomes regular, energy is up, performance is up, etc. You just can't deny that eating this way is a healthy lifestyle! Who cares what it is called...as long as you feel good. I don't know the science of it, but I know when I cheat and add a little dairy or bread back into my diet that it disrupts the great feeling (this could be b/c I had gone without it for so many days...). When I started eating this way, I realized just how many "bad" carbohydrates were in my daily diet...toast, oatmeal, sandwich bread, rolls, rice, pasta. I was overdoing the carbs! I get that you can eat them in moderation...but I prefer the feeling I have when NOT eating that many carbs! It's very tough to let go of bread, pinto beans and cheese...(OH Chipotle!), but it's totally worth the way I feel!
Hi Leona,
I like this topic "Paleo diet plan". Could you please suggest me good paleo diet recipe. I Would like to make a good post on that. Thank you...keep posting
hi,good post! The food is very attractive....

I'm in the market for a new phone. What do I have now? I've got an HTC Fuze running Windows Mobile!! Yes, it's outdated but I manage to get it to do what I need it to do. But I'm getting a bit jealous!!!
There are 4 main paths you can take nowadays:
- iPhone
- Android
- Blackberry
- Windows 7
Since I am in the education market I am leaning toward the iPhone. However, I never make a purchase without fully researching the options and then getting user opinions. So today I was happy to see this infographic from Dailybits.com on the Windows 7 phone.
While this infographic provides some good basic information, its comparison of apps doesn't help me too much. It makes it seem that app development for the Windows 7 phone is equal to the iPhone. Well, it is if you compare the number of apps 2 months after the release of each phone but the iPhone has been out for quite some time now. The real question is how many apps does the iPhone have now (particularly for education) versus the number for Windows 7. More investigating to be done!

I just packed my lunch for tomorrow's work-day, tidied up the kitchen, and set up some green tea to steep so that a nice big pitcher of iced-green tea will await Zach tomorrow morning. Now, I aught to be folding laundry or perhaps amending last nights sleep deficit (going to bed at midnight and getting up at 4:30 AM was not especially wise), but instead I want to share a recipe with y'all...
I also want to tell you how delicious niacin is, I really do (after all, two of the foods high in niacin are peanut butter and potatoes - how yummy is that?! :-), but first, tonight, I must seize the inspiration found only in marinara and Parmesan, and share with you a pan full of humble, cozy baked ziti...
First, an apology to authenticity, and to my wonderful, oft-mentioned friend Kathleen, who I freely and happily admit makes a much grander baked ziti than I. My baked ziti uses ground turkey or tofu, for goodness sakes - hardly "proper." There's only a sprinkling of Parmesan, so you could, hypothetically, fix baked ziti every night (not that you would necessarily wish to do so...), without feeling guilty about it. There are olives tossed into the mix, and tonight I fixed the recipe with penne pasta instead of ziti because I couldn't find whole wheat ziti at the grocery on my drive home, and while I suppose this means I should call the end result "Baked Penne" it just didn't seem to have the same jaunty tone...
So, while tonight's "baked ziti" wasn't quite the baked ziti of culinary history, the somewhat nontraditional combination made us so happy that I just had to share the experience...
All together, whole wheat pasta, diced olives, salty Parmesan, and plenty of gooey mozzarella can be just the thing to welcome you home...
A Casual Baked Ziti
14 oz whole wheat ziti or penne
1 lb ground turkey OR 1 lb firm tofu, cut into 1/2" cubes
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups of your favorite marinara sauce recipe (feel free to use the homemade sauce you have in the freezer, or your favorite store-bought sauce, or a fresh batch you just made in celebration of a leisurely Sunday...)
2 cups shredded low-fat mozzarella, divided
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, divided
1/4 tsp hot sauce
1/4 cup minced green or black olives
1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
~ Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 13X9" baking pan with cooking spray.
~ Cook the pasta according to package directions, drain, and set aside.
~ Coat a medium skillet with cooking spray, and saute the ground turkey or tofu, along with the garlic, until the turkey or tofu is lightly browned.
~ In a large bowl, stir together the pasta, turkey or tofu mixture, marinara sauce, 1 cup mozarella, 1/4 cup Parmesan, hot sauce, olives, and green pepper.
~ Pour the pasta mixture into the baking pan, and top with the remaining 1 cup mozarella and 1/4 cup Parmesan.
~ Bake for 30 minutes - until the cheese on top is just beginning to brown a wee bit.
~ Serve deliciously gooey and warm...

I think it's good to have both kinds of rewards and events. I'm rather impressed to see a Loremaster or those awesome raid titles, (when they're hard).
But when you see a freaking SCARAB LORD walk by? I just get a sense of awe I wouldn't from those other titles and accomplishments. It's just a lovely flavor to be found among the server's population.
Just because it's there doesn't mean you have to do it, or that you must be rewarded from it. An event comes and goes, and the AQ event is no exception. You didn't need to be the Scarab Lord, you didn't get any gear or anything that made you super from it. You got cosmetic things: a title and a mount. The entire server had to help someone open the gates, and odds were high that it wasn't going to be you unless you led a high end raiding guild at the time. So you got to have a real person play the hero in the story, and we all got to feel proud of and happy for him/her.

Building A New App For Mobile Devices
After taking a few months off from blogging and my online business ventures I am finally back to work and more focused than ever. I am currently involved in two separate network marketing companies which have helped to shape my new business direction and I am also starting to transition into building a new app for mobile devices. This is the first of a new series of posts that I will be writing to share what I learn about the process of building a new app, marketing on social media and traditional means and getting the app accepted in the iTunes store.
Let me say that I have absolutely no experience in building a new app for mobile devices so this will be an adventure that could take up to a year or more before I finally launch my product. I have been back and forth on whether to share my idea in this blog and decided to keep the details of my idea private at least until the app has been built and is ready to be launched. I'm sure that most people can understand my paranoia that someone could steal my idea and get it built and on the market before I do. I know that it's probably not a very likely scenario but since I'll be learning the ropes as I go it seems that this is just one less thing that I'll need to worry about along the way. I will however be sharing all of the tools and resources that I use as I make my through the process and will add those to the resources page of this blog under Mobile Apps heading.
According to an article on Mashable from July 13, 2013 there are 10 steps to building a top-selling app.
- Get a feel for the market
- Align your ideas with successful apps
- Design your app's experience
- Register as a developer
- Find prospective programmers
- Sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) when ready to hire a programmer
- Start coding
- Test your app
- Post your app to the market
- Market your app
I am currently working on step number one and little bit on step number three. I decided that if I could get a logo designed it would help me envision the reality of the app and also would also be a quick win to get me started. I have already done a bit of market research to see if there is a demand for my app idea by speaking with the people who will likely be using the app and found that the idea could have wheels. Of course like all entrepreneurs embarking on a new business venture, I have huge ideas and plans for my new app. When I realized that there are people who would pay for the service that this app will offer I immediately started to think about how to monetize and how much I could make. However, the realist inside me is still holding his own and keeping my inside Dreamer's delusions of grandeur at bay. I have the basic design and function written in my trusty notebook and in my imagination but I still need to speak with more of the market to find out more about what functions and extra options they would like to see when the app finally launches.
In part two of this new series I will go into more detail about how I performed my Step 1 research and what I learned about how to approach the market to get them to open up about what they do want and what they don't want.
If you have successfully launched your own app and would like to share what you learned about the process please feel free to leave your comments below. I am always open to learning from experienced entrepreneurs.

Is the recovery over?
The first negative GDP print since 2009 has confounded the bulls. And there is more pain coming.
For the first time since the recession ended in the middle of 2009, the U.S. economy contracted at the end of last year. Fourth-quarter GDP growth fell to -0.1% from a 3.1% rise in the third quarters, surprising the optimists so focused on Dow 14,000. As I've been saying for weeks, the fundamentals didn't justify the market melt up. And eventually, fundamentals matter.
The optimists are already trying to dismiss the report as a fluke since a large part of the drop was connected to a 22% fall in defense spending. It's no fluke: In a month, the Pentagon will likely be hit with another budget cut worth 9.4% of its discretionary spending, or more than $50 billion a year.
And it's about to get worse.
People forget that it was government spending -- in the guise of bailouts, unemployment benefits, and stimulus -- that bolstered the economy in the early stages of the recovery when business and consumer spending was in the doldrums. Now, with businesses nervous and consumers suffering from tax hikes, higher health care costs, and still stagnant wages, the government's fiscal mess is forcing it to pull back.
The bulk of the fiscal cliff -- the tax hikes and spending cuts worth 5% of GDP -- was merely postponed. The fact remains that the government has no choice but to tighten the budget, or else it faces the threat of additional credit rating downgrades.
So people should get used to weak government spending contributions to GDP.
What about consumers, who contributed +1.5% to the Q4 GDP number? Not only is confidence down hard on the payroll tax hike, but they are about to be hit with higher gasoline prices and higher rental costs as well. Moreover, the chart below shows how government budget cuts will impact consumer spending -- which the bulls and political operatives are grabbing onto as the bright spot in the report -- since government transfer benefits (unemployment, etc.) have been a more important factor than work wages.
All of this will drag on consumption expenditures later this year and reverse the one bright spot in the report.
And businesses started pulling back on inventories in Q4 in response to uncertain demand from consumers. This should continue as well.
A second negative GDP print in Q1, amidst budget battles and tax hikes, would technically throw the U.S. economy back into recession -- joining most of Europe, Japan, and soon, the United Kingdom.
If you average out the last two GDP prints, you get an economy stumbling along at a 1.5% annual growth rate. An economy that isn't ready for the fiscal cuts and political turmoil that awaits in 2013. Already, the regional Fed manufacturing surveys have been terrible. Home sales are down. It's not looking pretty.
In response, I'm adding new short exposure to my Edge Letter Sample Portfolio via Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) and U.S. Steel (X). I'm also doubling up on the VelocityShares Daily 2x VIX (TVIX) with the CBOE Volatility Index ($VIX) deeply oversold and rounding higher.
Disclosure: Anthony has recommended X short, ANR short, and TVIX long to his clients.

In 2007 stocks were at all time highs when according to the so-called economic experts a recession had already begun. But the TV pundits will tell you: stocks know, stocks are smart, stocks are an indicator. That's why they keep ramming that ridiculous dow number down your throat every 2 minutes like some kind of stinking mina bird.
Is the recovery over? When did it begin? 40 million people- 84% of them family men breadwinners, lost their jobs by suspectful reasons in 2007-08. Suddenly, we bail out banks (TARP) even though it was clearly obvious that the hyper-appreciation brought on by the Republican-sponsored Tax Reform Act and terroristic-crafted Republican legislation- Gramm Leach Bliley Act, had caused massive woes to the financial sector. Since 2008, we've had a treasonous Pledge to a lobby, money-laundered PACs and fake charities. What we haven't had is-- recovery. The markets have risen on fiat-printed dollars pumped into the stock markets so that employee-terminating import-driven drop-shipper platforms of hired-in GOP management can master-raise themselves to False Elite status in their own minds. We the People haven't seen any family-sustaining job creation, crushing of the social-clique making hand held devices, alumni-corruption and collusion investigations, a tax on the rich or jail time for those who drove us into this ditch. Meanwhile... the scholar trying to create World Peace while 99% of global peoples are infuriated with Central Banks, Globalization, Big Brother and Complex Financial Instruments... hasn't addressed the CORE PROBLEM once. Reach out, take on the 99% as partners, snuff the 1%, redistribute or create new currency, torch Banks, the Federal Reserve and Wall Street with all exits blocked and-- move forward. You have to SEE RECOVERY, not dream it up on spreadsheets.
GDP growth shock?? huh? who's shocked by the contracting economy except you idiot leftist pigs in the media, the rest of us know what the deal is, you idiots are acting like everything was 'honkey dory' all along, this regime is hammering the economy with ridiculous phony influx of 'phony' money, the fed's buying up stocks, in essence buying it's own product, much like the stupid chevy dolt, the majority of those ugly azzed cars were bought up by gov't, recovery??? what recovery is that?? unless you're 'recovering' from the flu the economy is in recession like it's always been, now just getting worse, NY unemployment is 8.8%, in reality it's 14% outrageous!! meanwhile get ready for new taxes! on who? the mid class of course, and once again I'll just have to laugh, everything we've been saying about this obama pig muslim's idea of utopia in America has come to it's fruition, coming to it's fruition, meanwhile Sandy "victims" are out in the cold, literally and financially as well, WHAT A SHOCK!!!! not!
oh yea, and I'm still laughing at the 'penaty' you smokers that voted for that pig obama are going to have to pay try $5500! ahahahahahahahahahah!!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHHAAAA enjoy and revel in the phony messiah you voted for and will now seperate you from your money, hahahahahaha!!!HAAHAAA!!
MG...don't you ever get tired, just spewing the same old BLAH BLAH BLAH....at this point , Charlie Brown's mother makes more sense WHA, WHA, WHA.
You can't have it both ways...first...the resetting of the social security tax back to 6.2%....you wrote a number of times that it should never had been reduced to 4.2% in the first place...and now you're railing against that.
And then, as far as the Federal Income tax increasing to anyone earning over $400K...really!.....very little effect on the economy increasing taxes on the top one half percent....oh I forgot....you're in that top half of percent....BOO HOO HOO, BOO HOO HOO.
Like I said many times before...in the 60's the marginal tax rate was 90%, yet we had plenty of wealthy people then...but we also had a vibrant growing middle class then also...the economy grew from the middle out...not from the top down, the way you want it to.
Good viewpoints. The large number of unemployed, not the phony government data but ALL unemployed, and the job creation rate well below what is neede to just accomodate new entrants into the job market, alone, in my opinion, constitute a continuing recession as far as we can see. Wall Street and Washington deceive the public for their own interests, financial and political.
Repressive regulations, government debt bloat, and a horrific tax code assure continuing volatility, leaving a lot of potential investment $ on the sidelines or flowing to other countries.
The stock market is fueld by Ben Bernanke.....both with easy money and with the manipulation of interest rates. Despite his failed policies, Wall Street continues to look at the federal reserve as the solution, when in reality they are the problem.
The federal reserve needs to quit printing money and let the market dictate interest rates

Doc Rivers had some interesting comments about reshaping the psyche of Darko Milicic
Doc Rivers had some interesting comments about reshaping the psyche of Darko Milicic
Doc Rivers on working on Darko's confidence: ""He just needs a chance; he just needs a team that wants him to do his job without asking him to be the No. 2 pick in the draft. We're just asking him to be part of a group and part of a team. We give him roles on the team. I think he likes the roles that we've given him and he didn't feel any extra pressure. So far so good. We just have to keep him in that frame of mind that he's in now. "You can see that he gets frustrated easy. So we're trying to eliminate those episodes. Our thing right now with Darko is to play forward. From being around for a short time, as a coach I can probably feel he's played his career backwards. He lives in the past a lot and we're trying to get him to live in the future. I told him (Friday), the only time I'll take you out is if you make a mistake and make another mistake because you're thinking about the last mistake. I won't take you out for making a mistake. So hopefully that works."

An officially sanctioned alien killing spree.
The Pitch: It's 1962, everyone looks like they belong on the set of Mad Men and there's a goddamn alien invasion going on. Step into the shoes of William Carter, Day 1 survivor, as he becomes the newest recruit in the alien-fighting special forces branch, The Bureau.
What It Really Is: A hybrid of third-person shooting and real-time(ish) strategy – there's essentially a time-stop button so you can command your commandos – The Bureau aims to meld the two genres into something cohesive. Unfortunately, while it does excel on both fronts independently - the third person shooting is tight and the controls of the RTS-aspect are fine, but a bit crowded on the controller – putting the two together leaves much to be desired. You may approach a level with lofty aspirations of commanding allies like a seasoned veteran but, after throwing one or two commands at them, it's just too easy to ignore them and worry about saving your own skin. This is especially annoying when your allies die and don't respawn mid-fight, though they are easily replaced after each level. The Bureau also takes a stab at fleshing out the story through dialogue as you talk to people, but it quickly becomes apparent that the conversations aren't worth having and are just a formality standing in between you and your next objective. The end result is a feeling of being a gumshoe in LA Noire but without any of the benefit of learning useful things. We're here to kill aliens and save Earth. If we wanted to have a meaningless, mildly frustrating conversation, we'd call our mothers, not play video games.
Maxim.com Ready-Made Press Blurb: "Screw the collateral damage, The Bureau has us so excited to fight aliens, we hope there's an invasion in real life." -Maxim.com
Fun Fact: The Bureau is actually a part of the XCOM franchise, though 2K Games seems very reluctant to officially associate the two. The Bureau does take quite a few cues from XCOM, in both the visual and RTS departments, making 2K's stance a head-scratcher.
Who It's For: We're not quite sure. The Bureau blends two vastly different genres with mediocre results. We can't help but wonder, were there really so many people out there playing games like Mass Effect or Gears of War and saying to themselves, "I just wish this game was more technical and paced slower"? Conversely, were the plodding planners who love XCOM's turn-based strategy wishing for a strategy game that's less methodical? Overall, The Bureau will play to a niche of gamers. It's like a size 17 sneaker; you know it exists, but not many people are asking for it.
