Since 2010, SVA has housed the Art Therapy Outreach Center (ATOC), New York City's first organization dedicated to providing art therapy to underserved trauma survivors, especially youth and adolescents from low-income families and homeless veterans. ATOC grew out of a program in the MPS Art Therapy Department and, currently, all of its therapists are alumni or faculty in the art therapy program.
As ATOC prepares to celebrate its second full year of operations, SVA Close Up caught up with Lisa Furman, MA, ATR-BC, LCAT, LPC, clinical director at ATOC since 2012 and a faculty member in the MPS Art Therapy Department since 2003. She is the author of Ethics in Art Therapy: Challenging Topics for a Complex Modality (Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 2013).
Why did you want this job?
LF: I have experience in starting clinical programs, and really like it. I'm a very hands-on art therapist. And I really loved the connection with the MPS Art Therapy Department, I have a good relationship with the students.
How did you go into art therapy?
LF: I graduated with a degree in painting and came to New York to find my way as a fine artist. I started giving art lessons to a little girl who lived in a penthouse apartment on Park Avenue, and her parents were going through a horrific divorce. I started to see how she, very naturally, used art as an escape and as a way to process things. So I did a little research, got my masters degree in art therapy and said, "This is it. This combines everything that I love: my love of art, my own personal understanding of the healing qualities of art, psychology and connecting with people."
ATOC has over 20 active groups, partnering with more than a dozen organizations in the city, including Bellevue Hospital, the Children's Aid Society and Graham Windham. Who calls on your services?
LF: It's a wide range. We just got a call from the Legal Aid Society from a woman who was representing two children that had a long history of sexual abuse, and she read on our website that we provide program services for that. We get calls from parents who say, "I have a kid who's struggling." If we don't have a community group, we have to refer them to the programs that we're servicing.
What's the greatest unmet need in terms of trauma survivors?
LF: I think our programming reflects it. At-risk youth, because there are so many kids that are living with trauma every day, just trying to survive in an urban setting. And veterans. I think that's a societal sort of block, in that no one wants to believe that these people experienced the things that they did, because then that would mean we'd have to really look at war and have to really look at what we're doing.
What are some of the ways in which people are helped?
LF: When you bring together people in a group that have experienced something that has a lot of shame or a lot of guilt around it, to suddenly be in a group with others and simply create your art and have others understand it, there's this connection that's very powerful. There's something cathartic in just being together. We see that a lot with the veterans groups and sexual abuse survivors. Also, when we work with a client for a long period of time they begin to see their artwork in a different way, not just, "I made this. This is something that I did." But also, "This says something about me. And so if my artwork changes in a given period of time that must mean there's a change going on inside of me." And they begin to be able to identify it.
What is the importance of art therapy to trauma survivors like veterans? What benefit does it offer that other forms of therapy can't?
LF: Recent research is telling us more and more about the way trauma is processed in the brain. It's often processed in an area that's not related to our language centers. So traditional verbal therapies, which rely heavily on expressive language, often can't tap into some of those non-language-based expressions. But art therapy, like a lot of other creative arts therapies, does. Also, with art therapy you always have this chronicle—you can say, "Let's look at this sequence, this progression of artwork, and let's look at how the artwork has changed, which is in essence a projection of how the client has changed." That's not always possible through verbal and other creative arts therapy forms. But in art, it is.
I'm guessing a lot of people may be apprehensive about art therapy because they don't consider themselves artists.
LF: It doesn't really matter if you have talent or not. It doesn't really matter that much to us as therapists what the product looks like. What's more important is how the person got there. In order for someone to plan and execute a piece of art requires some very high level psychomotor and neurological functions, things that are actually really applicable in your day-to-day life: planning and judgment, high tolerance for chaos and an ability to anticipate consequences, sequencing of directions. All of these are things that we use in our day-to-day lives.
So for children or for adults that have experienced trauma or chaos, or are having trouble functioning, to go through this process and use these skills and enhance them in a setting that's safe and comfortable and nonjudgmental, these are all skills that then can be transferred to daily living outside of the session.
Are we now as a society diagnosing trauma more often, or is there more trauma in the world?
LF: I don't think there's more of it. I just think we're looking at it through a different lens, and I think that we're recognizing more now the effect of trauma intergenerationally. Different from say, even 30 or 40 years ago, when trauma happened and you didn't talk about it, we've found that if we do talk about it and process it and find a way to express it, then the legacy of trauma stops, or it's greatly reduced. We know this for a fact, say, with survivors of sexual abuse, and in particular incest survivors.
Why do you think trauma isn't better understood?
LF: Well, I think it's self-protective. Humans are hard-wired to survive, especially children. We have defenses in place to keep us from being overloaded by trauma. So society inherently distances itself.
The number of program partners has nearly doubled since you arrived. What are some of your goals for ATOC, clinically?
LF: We want to be seen as the most well-established resource for providing free art therapy services in the city and in the neighboring areas. We want to have a nice diversity of client populations. The common theme with them all is that there's some level of trauma. So the goal is not just expanding in quantity, but in the types and the diversity of trauma that we see.

Like all small business owners with a Facebook page, I'm always on the lookout for that perfect Facebook post. I mean the post that goes viral and everyone knows who you are. The post that shows personality, fun and strengthens my brand. The post that doesn't brag or beg and shows the best side of our business.
I read a lot about what to post, when to post and what others are posting. I watch videos and attend webinars and connect with the "experts." I watch to see what others are doing and shake my head when they "break the rules" and feel encouraged when things seem to work. I love to see Facebook pages start with nothing and spiral in the thousands (or more) with new followers.
Up to this point my most successful posts have been those that I've "just thrown up there." The posts I really didn't think anything about or give a lot of thought to. One such post was when I posted a picture of my husband in his white chef jacket and another picture of him with his black chef jacket. My post simply said "White or black?" I had over 100 responses to this post which just amazed me.
Last Saturday at 5:42 a.m. I just happened to post a picture of a pretty ugly kitchen. The post read "Leave one word describing this kitchen." I'm sure you can imagine my surprise when this simple post received 1,000 comments. Well, as of this writing, it's over 2,250 comments, 246 likes, seen by over 60,000 people and been shared 19 times. This post also brought 15 new followers. Holy cow! Who would have ever thought!
I've basically come to a few conclusions about Facebook postings. Here are some tips that might help you promote your business. By no means am I an expert, I'm simply well versed in what works for me.

Boys Over Flowers
So, recently we started watching Korean Dramas again. The first one we saw that was about 20 episodes (which is very short compared to other dramas) was called A Pasta in Love.( I love these titles). I think I know the formula for Korean dramas. They have such outrageous plots and situations that the audience gets all worked up and start yelling at the TV screen. Yet we want to find out how the characters resolve those stupid situations anyways, so we continue to watch. Right now, my sister and I are watching a very famous drama called Boys over Flowers based on the Japanese Manga Hana Yori Dango. It's about a high school for very rich kids in Korea, and it has a problem with bullying. The leaders of the whole school is a group called F4. F4 gives certain kids they don't like the Red Card. The Red Card is placed in the victim's locker, and everyone in the school starts to bully that kid. (Because all of F4 is really rich and "good looking" so everyone does what they say. Strangely, there are no teachers or adults around at all). The main character Geum Jan Di, a girl from a very poor family gets accepted into the school on full scholarship for swimming. She hates F4, and even when they give her the Red Card she stands up to them. The leader of F4, Gu Jun Pyo (Lee Min Ho), falls in love with her...and Ji Hoo (Kim Hyun Joong) falls in love with her......and then the love triangles and problems arise. There are times when you really want to kick the girl though, because you want to root for a spunky girl yet sometimes she just acts dumb and clueless. I probably said that I hated her about 100 times by now (to the TV screen), although the bullying effeminate boys are equally offensive . . .and charming. The show has 25 episodes. I recommend it. You can find it on Netflix, or probably anywhere online. Make sure you watch the KOREAN version though. I think that the Japanese, or Taiwanese versions aren't as entertaining. We've seen the actor who plays Jan Di, or Koo Hye Sun, before in a drama called Pure in Heart. In it, she plays a spunky, hard working poor girl as well. We like her a lot. I think she got that role of the spunky and funny doormat down. The drama is really good. Anyways..... Any other recommendations for dramas we can watch? It's summer vacation, and we're allowed to indulge in some non-academic nonsense. |

text: Survey Data of Community-Based Environmental and Species Observations from the Bering Sea Sub-Network, 2008-2009The Bering Sea Sub-Network (BSSN) is comprised of a set of coastal communities representing six indigenous cultures: three in the Russian Federation and three in the United States. The objective of BSSN is to develop a framework that will enable residents in remote Arctic communities to systematically document physical and social changes occurring in their region. In 2008 and 2009, approximately 300 hunters and fishermen participated in a pilot project of harvest surveys covering species caught, species health, and intended use; changing climate and environmental conditions; location and travel information; and a review of harvest conditions. This data set contains survey data from the pilot phase of BSSN. View Metadata RecordData CitationThe following example shows how to cite the use of this data set in a publication.

The Very Hungry (And Very Striking) Caterpillars
No doubt many of them did.
The award-winning book, published in 1969, traces the complete metamorphosis of a butterfly, from an egg to a larva (caterpillar) to a pupa (chrsyalis) to an adult.
If you've ever seen a Gulf Fritillary caterpillar chowing down on the leaves of a passion flower vine, you've seen The Very Hungry Caterpillar in action.
We planted a passion flower vine two months ago in our yard. The plant hasn't yet bloomed, but the Gulf Fritillary (Agraulis vanilla) found it. Thankfully! We planted it for them.
Within what seemed like a matter of days, the passion flower vine (the host plant of the Gulf Frits), went from no caterpillars--zero, zilch, nada--to five.
We've seen the showy orange-reddish butterflies fluttering around the plant looking for places to lay their eggs, but haven't seen them actually do it.
But the evidence is there!
"As a spiny orange-and-black caterpillar, it feeds only on passion flower leaves, eating many but not all species of the genus Passiflora," says butterfly expert Art Shapiro, distinguished professor of evolution and ecology at UC Davis. "There are no native members of this genus in the state of California, but several are widely cultivated in gardens."
The butterfly, he says, can breed where there is a "critical mass" of these plants in a town or neighborhood.
Let there be a critical mass!

Gulf Frit Making a Comeback
The Gulf Frit is definitely back.
Back in September of 2009, butterfly expert Art Shapiro, professor of evolution and ecology at the University of California, Davis, excitedly announced the re-appearance of the Gulf Fritillary butterfly (Agraulis vanilla) in the Sacramento metropolitan area after a four-decade absence, and in the Davis area after a 30-year absence.
It's a tropical and subtropical butterfly with a range that extends from the southern United States all the way to central Argentina.
The Gulf Frit is a beautiful butterfly with bright orange-red wings, spangled iridescent silver on the underside, and a four-inch wingspan.
The larvae or caterpillars of the Agraulis vanilla feed on the leaves of the passion flower vine; they eat "many but not all species of the genus Passiflora," Shaprio says. "There are no native members of this genus in the state of California, but several are widely cultivated in gardens."
No one knows exactly when the first Gulf Frit first arrived in California, but "it was already in the San Diego area by about 1875, Shapiro says, and it was first recorded in the San Francisco Bay Area around 1908.
The showy butterfly colonized both South Sacramento and the Winding Way/Auburn Boulevard area in the 1960s but by 1971 "apparently became extinct or nearly so," recalled Shapiro, who moved to the Davis area in 1971.
The butterfly can breed where there is a "critical mass" of these plants in a town or neighborhood," he told us back in 2009.
Well, there's a thriving passion flower vine behind a west Vacaville residence that makes one think: "Critical mass!"
On one recent sunny afternoon, we spotted about 10 to 12 Gulf Frits breeding on the vine. Squadrons of brightly colored orange and black caterpillars munched on the leaves.
Yes, the Gulf Frit is alive and well.
Very alive and very well.
So if you have a passion for the Gulf Frit, plant Passiflora.
Plant it and they may come.

Dragons cool in a tight winHCC players show their leadership in 87-83 victory over Northeast Nebraska.For the first time this season, the fourth-ranked Hutchinson Community College men were in a nail-biting game that wasn't decided until the final seconds.Considering Friday's game was the 13th of the season, there was no way to know how the Blue Dragons were going to handle the pressure and stress of an edge-of-your-seat game. Northeast Nebraska whittled a 16-point deficit down to two points four times, but the Blue Dragons maintained their poise and held on for an 87-83 victory at the Sports Arena. After Northeast Nebraska (7-4) got a three-point play from Sean Scott with 2:54 left, Hutchinson led 76-74. During a timeout, sophomore forward Alex Davis huddled a couple teammates. "I told the guys to keep their cool and be there for the freshmen," said Davis, who had 19 points and seven rebounds. "We had so show leadership and execute down the line." Hutchinson (13-0) scored on its next possession every time Northeast Nebraska cut the deficit to two points. "We kept our cool as a team," said guard Kadeem Allen, who also had 19 points, plus five assists. "We had to keep our heads focused in the game and finish." To be fair, Northeast Nebraska deserves kudos as well. After a 26-point first half, the Hawks sizzled in the second half and scored 57 points. They shot 57.6 percent from the floor in the second half and sank eight 3-pointers. "Northeast, give them credit," HCC coach Steve Eck said. "They didn't give in. I don't know how we handled it, but Northeast Nebraska handled it well. We would go up four or five, and they'd come down and hit a two, a 3 or an and-one play. They exposed our defense the last 15 minutes. We have to play better defensively, but give Nebraska credit. They're a good team." One of Northeast Nebraska's wins came against Cloud County, a win that included 102 points. In their last two games, the Hawks scored a combined 207 points. The first half, however, was low-scoring, as Hutchinson led 38-26 at the break. Things changed in the second half, especially after Hutch built a 47-31 lead with 17 minutes, 35 seconds left in the game. Corey Mitchell's basket with 11:18 left cut Hutchinson's lead to 55-48, and then KJ Bluford went on a quick 3-point rampage. Although Bluford missed 12 of 16 from behind the 3-point arc, the four he made came in succession. His banked-in 3-pointer with 6:03 left made it a 71-64 game. "They hit some tough shots in the second half," Davis said. "They hit some with a hand in their face, and those are shots you got to live with. They did nothing different. They just got hot, and there's not much we could do about it. Six feet behind the arc and making it? That's hard to guard." Hutchinson kept scoring, and Northeast Nebraska answered. Just when it seemed one team had a sliver of momentum, it was gone instantly. For example, Northeast Nebraska was down 73-68, the closest it had been since midway through the first half. Then Hutchinson's Tafari Whittingham threw down his fourth backboard-shaking dunk of the game. Twenty-one seconds later, Sean McGary hit two free throws for the Hawks. "It was intense," Allen said. "They're a good ball club." Leading 83-81, Hutchinson's Rozell Nunn went to the free-throw line with 24.8 seconds left. Hutch was 12 for 27 from the line up to that point in the second half, but Nunn sank both. Allen's turn came with 6.8 seconds left and Hutch leading 85-83. No worries. "It was good to have a game like this," Allen said. "No one will give us the game. We've got to play with effort all the time." Scott led the Hawks with 17 points.

Question by TigerJ 926 · Jan 31 '11 at 09:49 PM · protein-powder
I have searched through the other protein powder questions and didn't see this issue specifically addressed. Do you use protein powder? If so, how much, what kind and why? If not, then why not? Curious, thanks.

Answer by James 3 8421 · Feb 02 '11 at 12:54 AM
Yes, I do, for after workouts. There's a ton of details to look at though, depending on how anal you are about it (and your end goals). Not an expert here, but did a lot of research on it when I was picking what protein powder would be best for me to use (in my pre-paleo days). I use a CFM Whey Isolate from proteinfactory.com. This will be a bit long as I explain why.
Goal - general health. I don't take extra protein, I eat plenty of regular food with protein, life is good.
Goal - bulking up and building muscle, faster recovery after intense workouts. I take protein supplements. Generally a couple scoops (roughly 60 grams of protein)+simple carbs 30 minutes after the exercise. Then I'll have a protein high meal an hour to an hour and a half after that (chicken/steak/something similar). Protein powders are used to get a substantial amount of protein in a limited time (you would find it difficult to eat that amount of protein in a regular meal on a constant basis)
Why this way? I'm seeing it in a more structural way vs nutritional (I eat regular food and vitamin supplements for that). In recovering from exercise, your body needs resources (amino acids) from protein to rebuild structural muscle. You want to provide as much as possible as quick as possible within the correct timeframes to support that. Then you need to provide amino acids over time to continue repair (since it doesn't all happen in a couple hours). This means you need a quick digesting protein for that big hit, then slower supplies of protein over time to continue providing resources (all for a viable cost, and a taste that won't prevent you from taking it).
Quick digesting protein. Best is Whey. But there's multiple variations, so you need to know what they are to determine the best of the Wheys. The "active ingredient" in Whey is protein. So what you're looking for is protein content. To understand the contents, you need to know how the Whey's are created.
All Whey starts from milk (8% protein). It has little protein in it to start with, and they spray dry it to concentrate it down, getting rid of the water (Whey Concentrate, around 40% protein range and a lot of fats, lactose, etc). They run that through large polymer filters to get rid of the larger fats (UltraFiltered Whey 50-70% protein). They'll run that through even finer ceramic filters (CrossFlow Microfiltered Isolate 90% protein range) or chemically treat it (Ion Exchange Isolates 95% protein range) to get rid of more fat.
There's one other method not really listed above. Hydrolyzed Whey (50% range). They take whey concentrate and "pre-digest" it with chemicals. Which means it will be digested/absorbed faster by your body. It tastes disgusting, and while it has low protein content, it's faster absorbed. I avoid this. I never saw the need to take a Hydrolyzed whey since Whey already digests fast as it is.
So based on protein content, an Isolate is the best. However, there's two kinds. CrossFlow Microfiltered and Ion Exchange. Ion exchange is known to damage the protein structures. Is this good or bad? Don't know, I didn't see anything one way or the other. But I don't think that it's worth the extra few percent protein to get it over CFM.
The more processed, the more protein, the more cost (and less lactose for those that are lactose intolerant). When looking at the ingredients of protein supplements, you'll usually see mixtures. There's different reasons for it, cost and amount of time to digest. If you see "concentrate" it's the cheap stuff. If you're paying a lot for the protein powder and "concentrate" is the first on the list, you're paying a lot for the cheap stuff...
Personally, I don't like the mixtures. You don't really know the distribution, so asides from possibly paying more for cheap stuff, you usually are getting a larger amount of filler calories/crap. Look at the ingredients. Protein amount / serving size = protein content (your big bang ingredient). You'll usually see it in the low 70% range for the mixtures (compared to 90% for CFM Isolate). So that's a bunch of crud you're taking that's not targeting what you want to do.
Is that really important. Well, it depends on your goals. If you are bulking up and don't care about the extra calories, then mixtures may be fine. If you are trying to prevent weight gain from filler materials (usually to hide the bad taste of some of the whey's), then you don't want to take an unknown extra amount of calories. If it's your only source because you just ran out of the good stuff, it's probably not critical (just watch the carbs) as long as you don't do it long term.
For me, I want to get the best bang for the buck proteinwise (not altered proteins), while not taking in a lot of extra unrelated calories, so I ended up with a vanilla flavored CFM Isolate (90% protein, taste is pretty neutral, easy to mix, no extra sugars/etc).
In re. other proteins. Casein protein (86% protein) good protein, longer digesting time than Whey. A lot of people use it overnight. I found it a pain to mix, taste = meh. Egg protein (80% protein) good slow protein(slower than casein), plus is harder to mix (as you noticed). Taste = meh. Soy protein (90% range), cheap cheap cheap, but known to screw around with estrogen/testosterone levels and can be pretty allergenic. Hemp (50% protein) don't know much about (vegetarians like it and Soy). Chicken/beef run around 30% protein, slow digesting. I eat those for the long term protein distribution.
Like I said, a bit long, hope that helps.
Answer by sherpamelissa 18762 · Feb 01 '11 at 02:32 AM
I do not use protein powder anymore, I prefer to eat real food.
I did use them when I was more worried about keeping my protein numbers a little higher. It was never an every day thing, but more when I needed more protein to keep my ratios where I wanted them and my food wasn't quite going to cut it. I tried them before and after workouts during my time losing weight and never seemed to notice any difference in how they affected my weight loss or muscle gains.
I just bought GNC powders that fit my ratios, I have always been worried about calories, so I chose powders/drinks that had the highest amount of protein for the smallest amount of calories. I do keep some Muscle Milk Light on hand for days when I just get too busy to eat, but I hate actually using it. It's got so much nasty stuff in it.
Answer by TigerJ 926 · Feb 01 '11 at 10:42 PM
Answering my own question here. Thanks for all your replies, I was genuinely curious. Also wanted to see if anyone had experienced similar symptoms without leading you on. Anyway, I've been thinking about the entire issue of post workout nutrition quite a bit recently, so here's the part on protein powder.
I recently started a barbell / kettlebell / occasional sprint routine. Dairy free for 9 months prior to that, but thought the powders might help in recovery. As a candidate for someone who 'should' benefit from protein powders I'm a good one. Hitting the weights hard, also doing barbells in morning and kettlebells in afternoon 3 days a week. So tried 4 different ones.
MRM whey. Good quality, no hormones, just when protein concentrate and isolate with vanilla and stevia. Price was about $25 at local stores for 2 lbs but there is a deal on bodybuilding.com that is about $47 for 3 canisters.
MRM egg white protein. Good quality but even more expensive.
Syntrax Micellar (based on Martin Berkhan's rec at leangains). Yuck! Tasted OK but didn't digest well, lingering bad taste and noticeable body odor the next day. About the same cost as MRM whey $25 for 2 pounds.
Roseacre Farms pure egg white powder. In terms of purity this is good, just dried egg whites, but this doesn't mix well and isn't very tasty. Cheap though.
Even with the better quality MRM whey, I noticed a stiffness, general muscle ache and joint pain after eating (regular 1 portion). Also experienced a mild bleck taste (though not nearly as bad as the Micellar). This got me thinking about protein powder in general (hence the question). These comments may go on a bit, but let's back up. What IS protein powder?
Protein powder whether milk based or egg based is a protein part of a food without (or very little) fat or carbs. The more I consider this point, the more un-natural it becomes. Maybe bodybuilders think eating more protein will mean more muscles, but I think this is mis-guided as 'eat fat, get fat.' Perhaps fat hysteria of the last few decades is also playing a part. Regardless, proteins in nature are always accompanied by at least some fat. Even the very lean proteins like chicken breast or canned tuna have about twice the fat of whey. And obviously egg whites are accompanied by their yolks.
Certainly adequate and maybe extra protein is required for muscle gains, but it cannot be as simple as 'eat more protein, get bigger muscles.' If all growth required extreme amounts of protein, then milk of all species would have a lot more of it and much less fat. As we know, the body is more about response to a stimulus in a certain environment. The body will respond with muscle growth if it has the stimulus (resistance exercise) and the environment (nutrition and rest). But boiling all this down to 'eat more protein' seems a little dumb.
There are bodybuilding sites everywhere that recommend protein as soon as possible after a workout for 'maximum recovery.' However, after watching my body over the past several weeks, experimenting with protein powders and sometimes without, I think this is pretty much BS. The process of recovery is obviously not a 3-4 hour process. It is a 24-48 hour or more process. Bodybuilders tacitly admit this also, because no one recommends doing deadlifts or squats on consecutive days. Anyway, the point is if recovery is a 24-48 hour process, what is the big deal about ingesting a protein concentrate that will get in your system a few hours faster than a regular meal? In fact, I am thinking the opposite is true and that overall quality of nutrition - not just post workout, but pre, post and the day after - is all part of it.
Also, the only reason people are eating plain chicken breast, canned tuna and egg whites is fat hysteria; I have no such hysteria and these foods don't really sound too appetizing without some added fat. If I wind up adding fat to whey or egg white shakes, then what is the point of the powder in the first place?
The last issue is cost. While the bodybuilding.com deal on MRM makes it more of an option, and the Roseacre egg whites are cheap enough (though difficult to get down), still for $17 I can get about 4+ pounds of humanely raised beef bottom round. This is ideal for making jerky, pemmican or rare roast beef. I think this is the real ticket for recovery. Instead of milk without its fat or carbs, or eggs without their yolks, I am eating more red meat in the form of appetizer or as-I-cook munchie and some extra eggs throughout the week. If I get to the point of a mass gain maybe I'll consider some milk, but even then probably won't bother with un-natural foods like whey and egg white powder.
"There's a window where synthesis is faster after exercise and the more quick nutrients the better improvement."
OK there are probably some studies on this, but I'm not convinced. Mainly because I think protein without fat is un-natural and my paleo perspective is that the body thrives on what IS natural. Also I think other aspects of recovery prove it is really a 24-48 hour process so if some study is just focused on 3 hours later it won't convince me.Answer by Todd 5873 · Jan 31 '11 at 10:12 PM
These should get you started. As far as answering your question... I think most people on this site tend to avoid protein powders/bars for reasons such as additives, insulin surge, prefer to eat their calories. Depends on what your goals are etc.
Best of luck to you.
I for one do NOT think TigerJ is "splitting hairs" in the least, Todd.
TigerJ simply asked if anyone uses Protein powder, what kind, etc.
Well, lots of people do; body builders do, and many other people, as well.
There are some very good, albeit, expensive protein powders (Mark Sissons' meal replacement, for e.g.).
Dr Eades also recommends using protein powders. I have used a number of them; none of which had any additives, nor did they give insulin surges. Some are made from whey protein; others from rice protein.Answer by PrairieProf 1584 · Feb 01 '11 at 10:57 PM
Yup, I use it -- I was a low-carber before getting interested in Primal but it's too useful to give up, and I've maintained my goal weight for several years now so I see no problem even if it isn't strictly paleo. I add it to Greek yogurt to give it enough protein to make a meal and some sweetness, and I use it for things like coconut pancakes (the core ingredients for me are eggs, protein powder, and a limited amount of coconut flour) or other things I might want to bake -- it bakes awesomely. I use Jay Robb brand, no additives, made from grass-fed milk and stevia sweetened. (I'm a middle-aged female, no body-builder, but quite lean -- 5'4" and 120.)
Answer by Kaz 5719 · Feb 01 '11 at 12:03 AM
I do not eat protein powder because there is not a single commercial one out there that wouldn't wreck my stomach.
However, that said, I do still crave the occasional green smoothie, and a couple packets of gelatin thickens it up nicely with a hearty heft of protein to boot. (7g of protein per sachet.) I've heard both good things and bad things about gelatin, though, so use at your own risk? :)
Answer by Tom R. 32 · Feb 01 '11 at 03:27 AM
I'm trying to add about 10 pounds and will drink about 30 grams immediately after working out only because it is about an hour before I can get to my post workout breakfast (commute, shower at work, etc). Plenty of folks on here would still try to eat real food in the car, and I have tried this. However, when I do, I'm not hungry for what I consider to be my actual post-workout meal. I use whey isolate from proteinfactory. I think I am somewhat lactose intolerant, and I do okay with this. It's not my favorite thing in the world but a tool for the time being.
Answer by Eva 22600 · Feb 01 '11 at 04:07 AM
I can't think of any reason other than that those that do heavy workouts feel it might help with weightlifting recovery and muscle gain. However, I consider protein powder to not be paleo and I think most people should not bother with it.
Answer by Travis Culp 40483 · Feb 01 '11 at 05:25 AM
I think we're not designed to consume it and actually convert most of the protein into energy to be used or stored rather than for raw materials.

This chair is a good example of "you get what you pay for". That said, the overall quality is very good only the seat cushion is very hard. This is not a comfortable recliner for watching to or to sit in for a long period of time but it makes for a great recliner to take a catnap or read for a few minutes. I have it in my office and the more I sit in it the more comfortable it gets. I think the seat cushion is softening up some. I would recommend it because of the price alone. If you want a recliner for comfort this one isn't it but it serves my purpose. My wife and I shopped for a couple of weekends and I saw chairs up to twice as much money and they were no more comfortable than this one. Overall, I'm satisfied.
Arrived before I even got the email saying it shipped. LOL Really. Daughter and I set up in 5 minutes. That easy. For granddaughters room and fits her perfectly. I am too tall to rest my head when I recline and I'm only 5'4". Firm support but good for an 8 yo. For the money I spent, I'm very happy and the grandkid said she likes it. Nuff said!
I bought this chair as a fathers day gift for my husband. The chair was very easy to put together, and looks great in our living room. The chair is more of an apartment size piece of furniture. Turns out I get this recliner and my husband gets the one we already had, which is pretty new.This chair is easy to recline and get back up with ease. Even though chair is smaller than expected, it has worked out really well, and I do not regret my purchase.
There is a small tear in the vinyl on the top of one arm--as it came out of the box. I have to return it because it will only get worse. But I am debating whether to let O send me another because, despite the very good price, its dimensions are so odd as to be uncomfortable. How? The seat and back heights are good for a short-average person (I'm 5'5" with average leg length) but the depth of the seat from front to back is sooo long, 23", that a person with short-average leg length cannot rest against the seat back with feet on the floor. (By comparison, my husband's huge prairie-style leather recliner's seat is only 19" from front to back, and 25" wide.) Also, in the upright position the back is slanted back dramatically enough that it causes me to hold my head up away from the back, cramping back and neck muscles. I've tried a small back cushion and a bed pillow almost the size of the whole back, to not much avail. I read for an hour today in the 2nd position and now have cramped neck and upper back muscles. It's too hard to find a comfortable position. Like another reviewer, I cannot push back to recline when seated "normally," since my feet are not touching the floor, :) I have to scoot forward to use my feet against the floor, then it's easy enough to do. The narrow width of the seat is ok if you're not too big (I am no skinny mini), unless you want to "curl up," draw one leg up, or just generally use this chair like an easy chair. The arms don't feel sturdily-enough attached to put any outward pressure on them. My long-legged, 6'2" very slim husband is comfortable enough in the upright position, but when tilted back his legs hang off the leg rest comically and his head is not supported by the back. Looks like a giant in a child's chair. If the seat width and depth were reversed, 23 inches wide and 20 inches front to back, this small chair would probably be great! Although, I'd rather a back slightly more upright in the upright position. In short, this is better used as an accent chair for occasional use by company, not a full-time, reading, TV-watching easy chair. We may let O send us a replacement for that use because it does look nice and has a clean, contemporary look. Sigh. I had high hopes but my search continues for an attractive, affordable reclining chair that fits ME, not made for tall friends and relatives that I must simply adjust to. This is not it, alas.
With very little use during the first 90 days, the arms are coming loose and leaning. I find no obvious way to fix this problem. Overstock provides absolutely no support after you use the furniture and the manufacturer does not have very good retail customer support either. Look closely at Overstock's customer support policies before you buy. If you buy something, look very carefully at the quality of construction before you accept it, or use it, because you are stuck afterwards. Just because the furniture looks good in a picture and appears to be a good value, if it doesn't have a reasonable useful life, it isn't a good deal. Buyer Beware! Overstock has lost me forever over these transactions.
Like the look but it is NOT as advertised. The description said the dimensions were:35.83 in. High, 33.46 in. Wide, 27.17 in. Deep I bought because I wanted a recliner that was not deep, this chair turned out to be 32 inches deep, not what I expected or really wanted. Also the Fed Ex guy dropped it at my door and was running away. He could have knocked and even put it just inside my sliding glass doors for, that would have been nice. I will not order any other furniture on line!
I'll start by saying that I had my guard up paying $***.** for a leather club chair. First of all calling this leather is like calling vanilla ice cream chocolate; it couldn't be father from the truth. When sitting in this chair it reminds you of sitting on your grandmother's couch with all the plastic sheeting. Be careful while sitting in the chair, the sides are extremely flimsy. It's to the point where your able to without any force drastically push the sides of the chair apart. The chair is an overall pile of crap and wouldn't recommend to anyone other than an inmate. Save your money or if your really looking to blow $*** go to the casino you'd be better off.
Ordered 2 of these chairs for my husbands man cave. He loves them. They are definitely on the small side. But are very comfortable. Cant beat the price!!
Nice chair, A little long in the seat so, it will require a pillow in back when reclining, otherwise it is a perfect size for a small apt or house, It is comfortable and reclines nicely.
We recently replaced a worn-out couch with four of these recliners in our family room theater space. We really like the clean simple look of the chair and the smaller size. Also, it is easy to wipe clean. Our three kids (ages 11-6) use the chairs the most and they love these recliners. So far, the chairs have held up well. My husband is 6 feet 3 inches tall and he does use a separate ottoman (that we already had) while watching football games and movies. I'm 5 feet 6 and the chair fits me just fine. The chairs work great in our small space and they are a good value for the price. They were very easy to assemble. Overstock's quick and *** shipping was a bonus.

A MELancholy Beginning
I wrote this a while ago, but never posted it up. I had to learn MEL, blarg…so I figured I'd do something fun in the process. Can't say that it was super enjoyable, I'd rather be pythoning it up, but here it is, kinda made something cool.
After I finished it, I decided it would be cool to add a random material to each box, so with a few line changes, it randomly picked one of your materials for each box. Kinda has a matrix-like quality to it.

Not unleashing untrammeled hatred on Atelier or any similar games. I only meant to point out that, despite their allure, the stories involved are typically the most glaring nadir. I play Atelier games for the synthesis and characters. As a broader statement: yes, I do miss powerfully woven tales. They aren't absent, though. Just buried.
I've been playing games since floppy discs were floppy. My first eroge was one such title my uncle owned. That doesn't make me value compelling narrative any more than the Final- wait, uh, Persona fan. Neither does it make me more hardened against horrible graphics than they are. It might help, but it's hardly a defined chasm between generations.
