Mark suggested eating something fatty beforehand - a piece of cheese for example.
I have always had a low tolerance to alcohol but in recent years it has gotten worse. I have only been doing Primal for a few months and it doesn't seem to have affected it one way or another but I have been doing low carb for a long time. Last night I went out and all I had was one glass of champagne and I woke up feeling horrible and I am just starting to feel better now and it is 8:00 pm. It doesn't matter what I drink - red wine, white wine, champagne, vodka, mixed drinks, beer, it all affects me badly. It is not like I want to drink all of the time, but it would be nice to go out and have a couple of drinks once in a while and not feel completely wrecked the next day. I have tried taking all sorts of supplements before and after drinking - B complex, C, milk thistle but it doesn't help. The only thing that helps a little bit is drinking like 3 big glasses of water between each drink. Do you guys have any suggestions?
Mark suggested eating something fatty beforehand - a piece of cheese for example.
I know it will sound a little silly but ... have you considered NOT drinking alcohol at all ? I am personally alcohol free (I used to binge 10-15 years ago but that's over), no prob with social events, etc.
P5P helps me and, better, it reduces my desire to drink alcohol.
I always eat something beforehand, carbs seem to do the trick in "buffering" the effects of alcohol.

Currently trying to figure out WTF to eat (for IBS-C).
I'm a slow metabolized as well. Low carb vastly improves my recovery time and quality, but that one drink still puts me down. I agree with everyone else- I don't touch my drink until I've eaten and it irritates me when they bring the drink long before the food so all I can do is stare at it. Last night I went out alone (Im traveling) and ended up having to read at the bar for a while after dinner because I didn't feel safe driving home. (And from experimentation I know I was probably at 0.04 or less... I am HORRIFIED that our legal cut off is 0.08.)

Just like any innate sensitivity, I would think just giving it up would be the answer. Or suffer through the aftermath. There are tons of people who are sensitive to gluten here, and they either quit wheat (and other sources), or they suffer the consequences.
Eating while you're drinking will slow down the absorption of alcohol because your pyloric valve will slow the contents from reaching your small intestine and blood stream.
A couple of aspirin before bed and/or a couple if you get up to pee in the middle of the night might help with your hangover symptoms.
Still and all, not withstanding all the "drink a glass of wine and live to be 100," stuff, alcohol is a toxin. It seems to be an acute one for you.

Making a Splash with Adobe Creative Cloud 2014
As users update their Adobe Creative Cloud apps with the 2014 release they'll be greeted with more than just new features… the splash screens for their favorite apps are also new and feature inspiring artwork from some talented designers. For anyone who hasn't updated yet (or even for those who have) here's a preview of a few of the new screens, along with the the inside scoop from the artists who created them:
Kylli Sparre—Adobe Photoshop CC
A self-taught designer, Kylli Sparre was attracted to Adobe Photoshop because of the endless options it gave her. According to Sparre, who describes her style as dreamlike, symbolic, and sometimes surreal, the limitlessness of image-making helped to open up her creativity. The image featured on the Adobe Photoshop CC splash screen is one of Sparre's personal projects. She knew she wanted to combine the photo of the woman with the location shot, but none of the things she tried worked until she noticed an interesting connection between the two images. After adjusting the angle she was able to emphasize the connection with extraordinary results.
Geso/Pablo IA—Adobe After Effects CC
With a style that straddles art and design, Pablo Iglesias enjoys exploring all kinds of visual disciplines, most recently focusing on more live and video art that combines a range of creative disciplines. For the Adobe After Effects CC splash screen, he first created some graphic elements in Photoshop—a kind of digital illustration recreating a transparent prism with iridescent colors. Next, he generated some video loops with the image in Adobe Premiere Pro CC, using different movements and mirror effects. He then played the loops in a program he uses for live video performance, applied effects such as zoom, RGB delays, and 3D deformations, and captured it all with Syphon. The last step was to make the final edit and composition in Adobe Premiere Pro. The After Effects CC splash screen is one of the frames he captured from the final video.
Črtomir Just—Adobe Muse CC
The design for the Adobe Muse CC splash screen was the result of an experiment. Artist Črtomir Just typically begins all projects by sketching, but moves quickly into the digital realm, working with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign CC. For this project, he was trying out some new things on his own time, working with abstract 3D shapes that started to remind him of real-world animals. He developed the idea into a series of abstract yet realistic forms.
Nick Taylor—Adobe Flash Professional CC
Nick Taylor's generative projects tend to follow a similar pattern. He starts by creating several short snippets of code, and when the code produces an output he likes, he'll flesh it out into a larger program. He often imports vectors from Illustrator or raster images from Photoshop and manipulates them with code. He'll tweak parameters to adjust color, scale, and composition, save unique PDF files, and take those he likes back into Illustrator or Photoshop for additional adjustments.
The Adobe Flash Professional CC splash screen is one of a number of images spawned from a single program. The program began as a very basic experiment involving a pair of individually-rotating vectors, with the second vector attached to the end of the first. It was inspired by the motion of a double pendulum. Taylor connected a number of these vector-pairs and introduced mouse tracking, allowing him to "draw" unique compositions onto the canvas. He finished the piece in Photoshop with texture overlays and color correction.
Holger Lippman—Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Adobe Audition CC
German artist Holger Lippman's likes to incorporate rhythm, repetition, and iteration into his projects and says that his artwork is heavily influenced by electronic music. His work process starts with simple code that grows over weeks, and months, even years. The piece of art that appears on the Adobe Audition CC splash screen was based on the simple Peter De Jong map equations: x' = sin(a * y) – cos(b * x) and y' = sin(c * x) – cos(d * y)
The artwork chosen for the Adobe Premiere Pro CC splash screen was created using Adobe Flash Professional and programming. Lippman used an iteration algorithm consisting of a three-sided pseudo cube within an X Y matrix. The algorithm is divided down by two on six to eight layers, with randomness in number, size, color, and on/off state. Each repetition of the process results in one iteration, which is used as the starting point for the next iteration. He also coded a slight force to cluster the cubes to create little cloud gatherings.
Patrick Seymour—Adobe Illustrator CC
When Patrick Seymour was four-years-old, his mother predicted that he would be an illustrator. Today, with a degree in graphic design, he primarily works on personal projects and likes drawing the same thing many times using different styles. He typically begins with a picture or hand drawing and traces his lines over it. The illustration selected for the Adobe Illustrator CC splash screen was created using this line style. Seymour drew five or six gorillas and three or four lions. The illustration Adobe selected came from experimenting with different colors rather than using his typical black and white style.

Animagraffs: Education Animated by Jacob O'Neal
Part tutorial. Part infographic. And part animated GIF. Animagraffs. It's the name Jacob O'Neal assigned to the animated infographics he began working on in 2012. When he told us that he used Creative Cloud, we wanted to know more so we caught up with him to ask about his concept, his tools, and his process.
Jacob talked to us about his toughest critics, making (some) decisions based on art rather than function, how creativity is fueled by excitement and wonder, and, of course, the beauty of Creative Cloud.
You're a designer, so designing information probably comes naturally to you, but where did this idea originate? Was it an offshoot of another project? I've always been fascinated by animation. I used to draw entire flip-book scenes in the margins of old paperbacks or on sticky note pads. I've also always loved optical illusions and visual tricks that appear simple yet manage to boggle the mind.
A couple of years ago I began to see entire movie clips, in animated GIF format, being shared all over the web. While I had seen very simple usage of animated infographics in the wild, I hadn't seen anything on the scale of Animagraffs.
It seemed like a fitting challenge: Could I make a meaningful infographic within a limited image format as the endlessly looping animated GIF? I had a lull in projects for month or so when I decided to make the first Animagraff. As a freelancer I try to keep a nice savings cushion since things can fluctuate, but even so, when there's a lull I get antsy. There was a strong temptation to seek out the same old easily-procured but passionless work that "pays the bills." But creativity is fueled by excitement and wonder and mechanically "paying the bills" is neither of those. I remember distinctly the moment I chose to act based on courage and create a passion project, not knowing what the result would be, or if I'd ever see money from it.
Quite frankly, I have no idea why I was an "early adopter" of the animated GIF infographic; the technology's been there all along, and there are many, many brilliant designers out there who could pull it off. Stroke of good luck maybe?
What was your first topic? How has your process evolved since that first piece? The first animated graphic I did was Cheetah: Nature's Speed Machine I just wanted to test out the limits of what could be done, and I was still a little intimidated by learning 3D software, so I made a flat graphic (non 3D). I sketched the main cheetah illustration in Illustrator and the animated graphs and lines in Flash. My process is still very similar, but now I have a better idea of what kind of illustrations fit the GIF format best. Some things just look gimmicky in an endlessly looping image and other elements really shine.
Who was your first Animagraff client? The first glimmer of a "result" I saw was an offer to work on a Super Bowl commercial project for Skechers. Their agency saw my Cheetah graphic and called me directly, offering a tidy sum to work on a project I would never have dreamed about before. Getting the motivation to make Animagraffs became a lot easier after that!
GIFs are for fun. Infographics are (mostly) for dispelling information. Beyond being cool viewing, Animagraffs have to strike that fine balance between entertainment and information. How much time do you spend getting that balance right? With my Animagraffs, the education IS the entertainment. That's the whole point. I "came up" in the marketing world where the cart is perpetually before the horse—where everyone fearfully worries about "the results" and focuses all energy on hype instead of caring for the heart and soul of the project itself (hypnotizing entertainment without substance).
I decided to do everything the opposite of what I experienced working for marketing agencies. The product should "sell" itself through its quality. All I have to do is focus inward, and the outward results follow. Not the other way around. Animagraffs entertain to the exact degree of sincerity, hard work, and the quality of research I put into them. There's no room for any kind of trickery, hype or fine print.
Infographics are compressed information distilled into easy-to-read bits. How many "pages" of content does each Animagraff contain? I go until the subject has been covered. I try to avoid disputable elements that might be distracting while still going deep enough to educate. The time involved varies but in general Animagraffs take anywhere from 20- to 80-hours of solid research, writing and design.
At what point do design decisions (type, color, layout) factor in? Animagraffs, especially my 3D projects, have a propensity to be manual-like. It's actually difficult at times to make things original and fresh while maintaining a comfortably readable graphic. I'm an artist at heart, not an engineer, so I try to stay abreast of current design trends, and I make some decisions based more on art than function (though that line is hair thin). Decisions support the subject matter as far as possible. For the How A Car Engine Works graphic, for example, I used a typeface for the main titles that has strong automotive ties.
With animated infographics, you're basically designing in layers. How does that make you job easier or harder? One-second decisions at the beginning of a project become two-day fixes at the end. The more intricate the assembly, the more critical it is to get things as right as possible from the start. By the time an Animagraff is compressed into its final GIF form, it's traveled through two or three different software applications. At that point, fixing a misplaced apostrophe could take ten minutes as opposed to a mere keystroke while the script was in a text editor. I suppose it makes the job harder to have to design things in layers, but then, the difficulty of producing Animgraffs means I'll have a little less competition in the field—I can't complain about that.
Do you have a "test audience"? A person or people who try to learn something from your content? I'm passionate about my interests and hobbies and I assume others are as well. It's unfortunate when an entity misrepresents something you know and care about. Since the public at large is unaware of inaccuracies on most subjects, it's tempting to disregard small groups of highly devoted fans. But there's incredible power in gaining the loyalty of those who won't be fooled, who don't click on every trifling bit of online clickbait, who seek out the highest quality information. When they share your work it's often to their esteemed colleagues, and then you find yourself getting the kind of front-row attention money can't buy. My Car Engine graphic was featured as a blog post on the New York Times Autoblog and Jalopnik.
So, my test audience is the toughest of critics—when researching a graphic I tend to post it to forums or other specific places where the most educated disciples of any given subject are prone to congregate.
How a Handgun Works: 1911 .45 is a good example: I've been continually flattered by the many messages of thanks from gun enthusiasts, law enforcement personnel, gun instructors, and other professionals. These people are far more conversant with guns than I, and they're actually using this graphic as an educational asset. However, I've also received harsh feedback about its inaccuracies. I have to take it all in stride because, even though I consider it my duty to try, there would be no end in attempting to satisfy the core disciples.
You mentioned that you use Creative Cloud apps almost start to finish. Briefly walk us through your process. I begin in a simple text editor, pasting research from all over the Internet with links to sources. With that file open, I create a new document by its side to write the script. The script condenses all the fragmented information into a compelling story in which every sentence is as efficient as possible with no wasted words.
If the project uses a 3D model, I begin modeling at this point, with research imagery and text all prepared. I use Blender 3D (which I've really enjoyed learning) to craft my own models; I've been temped at times to download ready-made assets, but that would hobble progress the day I want to do a subject for which I can't find suitable models. Also, for education it's best to have simple models without all the indents, holes and pipes, of actual mechanical objects. So I craft everything from scratch myself.
With the script written and 3D model created (if needed), I begin laying out blocks of text in Illustrator CC. This is generally when I start to see what visuals I need and what will fit where. It's a giant puzzle board. You might think I start with grandiose sketches of intricate objects but it's really with blocks of content scattered around the page that I start to see where the big visuals will go.
I use Flash (since that's the animation timeline software I know best) to assemble the animated assets over the top of the Illustrator CC-made layout (After Effects CC and Photoshop CC both have timeline elements that I imagine could be used for this, but I haven't experimented with either). If it's vector illustration I might draw the frames directly in Flash Professional CC (the Cheetah frames were drawn in Illustrator CC since there are better brush and line quality options).
I export the finished project from Flash CC into Photoshop CC (which has the best compression ability when it comes to the animated GIF format). In Photoshop CC I try to get the file as small as possible, often limiting colors to do so. The cheetah graphic has dimensions of 1400 x 1890 with 18 total frames and rings in at a nimble 500KB. That's much smaller than many static graphics of the same pixel dimensions; I purposely kept the project to a two-color scheme; as I progress with these projects, I'm getting more adventurous with more colors and weightier file sizes.
You mentioned After Effects. Do you see yourself trying it out down the road? I haven't actually tried After Effects with these animated infographics so I have no idea what to expect. Also, it looks like Flash is starting to incorporate some HTML5 stuff so I'll probably stay in Flash since it's more web-centric and that's my playing field.
Since you use a range of CC products to make Animagraffs, we have to ask, how are you liking Creative Cloud? I'm loving it—synced settings, seamless upgrades—it's the kind of functionality I've always wanted!
What's your next topic? I JUST finished Inside a Jet Engine. I hope it's as well-received as my other projects have been.

I often get a lot of questions regarding our Sleep Ready product and how it can truly benefit someone's performance in the CrossFit box, so I wanted to write a quick blog post about what it has done for me. Before I talk about the product, I want to fully disclose that I do in-fact work for Mission Ready. But I also am a 100% believer in the products we sell. I would never attach my name to a product I didn't personally believe in. So much so that before I accepted the position for Mission Ready, I asked to try both the Sleep and Omega product. It just so happens they were not just good – which is what I expected, but the best I had ever tried.
If you are unfamiliar with Sleep Ready, it is a 100% vegetarian, 100% natural, gluten-and allergen-free, non-irradiated, sleep product. And it is proudly made in the U.S.A.
Unfortunately, I have had sleep problems for most of my adult life. My problem isn't falling asleep; it's STAYING asleep. Having exhausted all options of over the counter sleep aids, and being sick and tired of groggy medicated "sleep hangovers", when I was first introduced to Sleep Ready I was a little hesitant on taking yet another sleep product. However after the first night of taking just ONE Sleep Ready, I realized this product is in fact different. For the first time in a long time, I woke up feeling very refreshed and revived. I didn't wake up with a headache and burning eyes from the irritating formulas found in most over the counter sleep aids.
Since taking Sleep Ready fairly regularly, my performance in my CrossFit box has increased dramatically. I am no longer having problems doing those dreaded early morning WODs and I am feeling better than ever in the box. I am falling asleep faster and staying asleep longer, allowing my body a minimum of 8 hours of sleep a night. It has truly changed my workout regiment and allowed me to keep striving to reach my full potential. When I combine the Sleep Product with our Omega Ready product, I get even better results. In-fact our original sleep formula, included Omega-3's in it, due to the fact it can enhance the effects of the sleep pill. When we realized there was an equal need in the CrossFit world for a better solution to inflammation and recovery, we split them apart, creating Sleep Ready and Omega Ready.
DOSAGE: Although our recommended dosage says take 1-2 pills, I recommend getting yourself acclimated with Sleep Ready and just starting with 1 pill. I have found that 1 pill actually works best for me. In fact, since being on Sleep Ready, I haven't had to take 2 pills. Each bottle comes with 60 pills, so if you find that 1 pill works well for you, you will have a full 2-month supply with just 1 bottle! And hopefully you wakeup feeling as refreshed as I do, ready to attack the WOD at your CrossFit box!
I encourage you to try the product and let me know your results. I would love to hear from you.
Director of Sales and Product Development (CrossFit Market)
Co-Founder Pete "Bullfrog 13" Wikul's Inspiration to start Mission Ready
The inspiration to start Mission Ready arose from my personal experiences as a former Navy serviceman and U.S. Navy SEAL for 39 years.
Like many other SEALs, I have had my fair share of injuries in my career. The worst case was in 1984 in South Lebanon. I was on an isolated United Nations Observation Post (OP) at Chateau Beaufort trying to help a fellow United Nations Military Observer in danger when a leaking butane gas cylinder ignited and exploded 10 feet away from me. I suffered burns to 75% of my body.
The explosion and my injuries from it led to a number of other health issues including PTSD, which was misdiagnosed at the time as mononucleosis. PTSD mixed with the other stresses of a military career caused significant sleep problems. Other health issues included a botched medical procedure that caused an internal infection for a number of years, which led to chronic fatigue and more bad sleep. My sleep issues were further worsened by obstructive sleep apnea and age, which meant that for 12 years I had very little REM sleep. Without sleep, it was nearly impossible for my body to heal.
The inability to get the sleep your body needs is a miserable experience. I personally struggled with mood issues and felt like I was unable to be my best at all times, something that was critically important to my survival during my 39 years of service. Most of the time, I just put on my team guy face and powered through it with a smile.
I kept searching for a solution, trying everything that was out there, including various pharmaceutical sleep medications but it became obvious that they were not the answer for me. I recently read a Scripps study about the increase in death rates just from taking sleep medications, which drove home the point that sometimes prescription sleep medication can cause more problems than it solves. I can identify because drowsiness can be life-threatening for a SEAL. Well-intentioned and dedicated to their profession, traditional MDs did everything they could to help but their solutions were temporary at best and I continued to suffer from the many health impairments that arose from my sleep issues, just like millions of Americans experience every day.
My journey into nutrition, supplements, and nutraceuticals began early when I was in SEAL Team TWO in 1975. One of my teammates was spreading the gospel on eating right, supplementing diet with vitamins, minerals, and herbs as well as performing resistance exercise with correct form and breathing. With his inspirational leadership, I became fascinated with the whole subject of health and I became his disciple so to speak. My teammate was way ahead of his time and he voraciously read everything about health, and so did I. The first two books I read were Adele Davis' "Let's Eat Right to Keep Fit" and "Let's Get Well," and I haven't stopped reading since, amassing an extensive health and nutrition library.
Having failed to find a solution to my sleep issues through traditional medicine, my hobby of studying nutrition and alternative medicine became a passion as I continued my search for true healing. It became a mission. I needed to be "mission ready" all the time, not just some of the time.
The All Important Omega Ratio
Everyone is talking about omega-3 fatty acids, but why all of a sudden? All the noise makes us wonder what the big fuss is about. One of the biggest problems with supplements is that so many new ones enter the market each year, and some study debunks them the following year.
Some folks even took aim at omega-3 fatty acids last week. In a study whose biases were uncovered only a few days later, researchers claimed that omega-3 did not reduce the risk of dying from heart disease nor provided much else.
Well, the American Heart Association still recommends Omega-3 supplements. The AHA studies a lot of the deaths in America, and many of which have been attributed to a poor omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. The study never discussed the ratio.
The omega-3 to omega-6 ratio is literally the ratio of two polyunsaturated fats in the blood. In one serving of factory-farmed beef, for example, the omega ratio is 1 omega-3 fatty acid for every 20 omega-6 fatty acids.
For years, and often without knowledge of the omega ratio, doctors in America recommended that their patients limit their beef intake. Heart disease claims more lives in the U.S. than lung disease, breast and prostate cancer combined. Research shows that a modern diet, known as the meat sweet diet, puts more strain on the heart and arteries. We're not necessarily making that recommendation because we're not trying to change your life, but we do want you to have the facts.
According to health professionals, the optimal omega ratio is somewhere between the Paleolithic ratio: 5 omega-3s to 4 omega-6s, and 1 omega-3 to 2 omega-6s. So it would probably help to change your diet and add a high quality omega-3 supplement to your daily regimen.
Most people are aware of omega fatty acids, but perhaps less aware of how important it is to have a healthy balance of omega-3 and omega-6. The Western diet has an imbalance of omega-6 over omega-3. This imbalance causes inflammation and can be linked to cases of stress, obesity, diabetes, heart disease and some cancers.
We know some athletes say all that talk about blood lipid levels (one example would be the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio) doesn't matter, in general. The evidence speaks for itself. Icing after a workout is good if you don't have another event or training regimen to complete in the coming days, but omega-3 fatty acids go a long way in preventing deeper more dangerous inflammation for the long haul.
We turned to Superba™ Krill Oil, sourced from the pure and pristine Antarctic waters. It is more easily absorbed than fish oils. Omega-3 Ready delivers EPA and DHA directly to the bloodstream via the villi, so there are no burps or fishy aftertastes. It even comes in a small and easily to swallow pill – not a horse pill.

Many CrossFit athletes and people in general don't know enough about omega-3 fatty acids or its importance to overall health. Even fewer people know about krill.
A few weeks ago, I highlighted a couple of key takeaways from the CrossFit Festivus Games in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey. Here's my third key observation, which really surprised me:
Many CrossFit athletes and people in general don't know enough about omega-3 fatty acids or its importance to overall health. Even fewer people know about krill.
I walked around the Festivus Games with a clipboard to garner some signups for our monthly Mission Ready newsletter as well as to introduce our wellness company to all these people committed to personal wellness. They all seemed to respond similarly to the question: What do you know about omega-3 fatty acids?
I was talking to dedicated and informed athletes. Most of them knew about omega-3s and the associated benefits, but few people knew about the omega-3 omega-6 ratio, where many Americans, even seemingly fit ones are out of balance. That's the real problem!
Don't feel bad CrossFitters, many of your doctors don't think critically about the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio, and an inexpensive take-home test only became available recently. Medical researchers suspect the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio is the culprit behind a growing number of heart ailments and other inflammation related maladies.
That's why Mission Ready will be at The Beast of the East Fitness Festival (a CrossFit elite athlete event) in Durham, CT from the 10th to the 12th of October. We need to continue educating everyone about the importance of Omega-3/6 balance. We will also commission a sleep study for those who qualify. A good night's rest can be very helpful in an athlete's recovery.
I think getting your Omega-3/6 right is among the few most important actions you can take for your health if you eat a Modern Western Diet. I typically tell people sleep and exercise, but after visiting my doctor and realizing an alarming improvement in my cholesterol levels, I know how much help omega-3's lend everything else, including rest/recovery and exercise. We have also found that many who supplement their sleep aid with Omega-3 see better results.
The science is there and the results are clear. More omega-3 is good for all of us, and probably even the guy or gal eating lots of fish already. Take a look at this brief recently published by the University of Maryland Medical School (http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/omega-3-000316.htm/) if you'd rather get your health information from a doctor instead of @MRSteveLinn.
CrossFit- Commitment to Community and Health
Two weeks ago, a few folks from the Mission Ready team attended the CrossFit Festivus Games in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey. Each of us was thoroughly impressed with the work ethic and raw talent demonstrated by the athletes. Their supporters and the box owners also provided a unique spark to the energy at the Festivus events.
While I can't speak for every team member's complete experience, I'd like to share my observations from the event in a two-part series. This week, part one looks at two takeaways that made me realize the degree of commitment and sense of community amongst these athletes. Next week's post will focus on Omega fatty acids and how athletes, and most people in general, know little about its importance to overall health.
Here are my first two observations from the CrossFit Festivus Games:
1– CrossFit is intense
I consider myself to be in decent shape for a guy in his mid-forties. I work out. I eat fairly well. I supplement my dietary requirements in areas where I don't do so well, but I cannot perform many of the exercises the CrossFit athletes perform with ease. When I tried, I slowly completed the workout BUT COULDN'T LIFT MY FREAKIN' ARMS AFTERWARDS. I guess I didn't try to lift them higher than my driving position until much later, but after I'd made it home I couldn't even lift my fork.
With that said, I admire you CrossFit athletes out there for sacrificing your ability to move limbs as a result of your commitment to wellness. Although, I wasn't at first, I am now completely committed.
In case you're headed to the gym or do your workouts at home and you want to find out for yourself, here is what I did:
Part 1 of the WOD (workout of the day) was called "Cindy." It is 20 minutes of AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) of 5 pull-ups, 10 pushups, 15 squats. If that wasn't enough, Part 2 was 10 minutes of Box Jumps and something they call "Burpees."
You think you can meet the challenge?
2– CrossFit is community
When I first arrived at the Festivus Games in upstate New York, I had no idea what to expect beyond a couple of people with muscle and a few athletes with hustle. I did not expect to see an extended family of athletes, their supporters and box owners building camaraderie around living well, eating clean and doing what's best for the individual. I heard so many athletes sharing health, nutrition, and exercise tips. Even if they were competing against one another, the majority of the CrossFit athletes wanted to help each other be better.
In the afternoon, a man walked up to my table and picked up a bottle of Sleep Ready and clenched it tightly in his hand. He looked me in the eye and said, "Will this help me get to sleep?"
Of course I could not say yes definitively because I didn't know why he couldn't sleep. I simply felt fortunate to have the opportunity to sit down with the guy and talk about his sleep, a sore subject for him because he had not slept well in 20 years. Since he had been experiencing sleep problems for so long, he was emotionally exhausted by the search, high and low, for sleep solutions out of desperation. So I wanted to give him sound advice.
After pressing him with the hard questions about his self-reported activities and his symptoms, I think I got a sense of his sleep problems. I shared some sleep tips with him that I think will help everyone. I've embedded my favorite seven below as I have posted them on our Sleep Ready website, so that any member of the Mission Ready community can view them whenever she needs reminders on what might help her get some sleep.
*The athlete I spoke with eventually sent me a product review directly and he thanked the Mission Ready team for helping him to get a good night's rest, not a prescription-drug induced zombie nap, for the first time in a very long time.
Stay tuned for next week's observations from the CrossFit Festivus Games.
The Benefits of Exercise
by Dr. Kevin Pett
Dr. K here today to talk to you about some of the wonderful benefits of exercise. The human body was designed to perform a host of physical tasks on a daily basis. When we exercise the body regularly, the following major benefits are recognized.
- Mental acuity is improved
- Bone health and density are strengthened
- Cardiovascular function is improved
- Detoxification of the body occurs
- Tendons and ligaments are strengthened
- Stress is released
- Energy levels are increased
- Sleep is improved
Regular exercise is a key to good health and a longer life. The principal goal is to make exercise a part of your daily/weekly activities. Make time for it, and you will enjoy many positive benefits. It is important to rotate or combine activities on alternate days that involve cardio, strength, and stretching for example like:
- Running, cycling, swimming
- Weight training / resistance training
- Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi
This exercise rotation can keep the body functioning optimally. The key here is regular exercise, like for example: 2 to 3 days of Cardio based exercise (running) combined with 2 days of stretching and toning (Yoga). One day a week of something is just not enough. Try for a minimum of combined exercise forms, for 3 to 4 days a week, in order to achieve optimal results.
Enjoy the benefits of exercise! Better health and a longer life!
Be your best you!

Everyday Heroes
By Steve Linn, CEO, Mission Ready
I'd like to thank Bullfrog 13 and Gloria for giving me the opportunity to guest blog this week. Some of you may have heard this message, as it was the topic of our Mission Ready Monday podcast last week. But, we believe by sharing a message about everyday heroes to a broader audience, we may inspire more to celebrate their own everyday heroes.
Today's message is inspired by a trip to the movies and a visit to the Catskill Mountains in New York state. Last weekend, my wife and I went to see Spider-Man. I'm not going to share too much about the movie, in case you haven't seen it yet. But, while watching the movie, I began thinking about superheroes like Spider-Man, Superman, Batman and others.
In the movies, and in comic books, Superman, Spider-Man and Wonder Woman save the world every day. They excite kids of all ages with their super powers, costumes and one-liners.
Stan Lee, the creator of some of our favorite comic-book heroes, believes, "now more than ever, we need the heroic deeds of real people from the real world." When asked, most people will list our soldiers, police, and firefighters as heroes. And they most certainly are.
But heroism is not limited to these uniformed forces. We all know of the true acts of heroism performed by everyday people on Sept. 11, 2001. At times, I wonder if I could have done the same. Stan Lee defines a hero as "someone who is concerned about other people's well being and will go out of his or her way to help them – even if there is no chance of a reward. That person who helps others simply because it should or must be done, and because it is the right thing to do, is indeed, without a doubt, a real superhero."
This is where the Catskills come in. Last Saturday was visiting day at the camp where my son, Ryan, is now a counselor's assistant after having been a camper for the past 8 years. During our visit, we inquired about our neighbor's son, who is a first year camper. Ryan shared that our neighbor's son has been struggling all summer. This young boy may not be as "cool" as some of his bunkmates, and therefore gets picked on. So, Ryan decided to talk to the bunk and asked the kids to cut him some slack. Why is this act heroic? After all, isn't that the job of a counselor? Well, you see, Ryan is not the counselor of that bunk. No one asked him to help, and there was no chance of reward. It was just the simple act of an ordinary person going out of his way to help another. My son is a hero; my son is MY hero.
There are many definitions of a hero. In your quest to be your best you, we hope that today's message inspires you to be somebody's hero.
If you'd like to share any thoughts with us check us out on Twitter @getmissionready, like us on Facebook, or send me an email at email@example.com. We are starting a simple Everyday Hero campaign soon. Stay tuned for more details on our Facebook page.
Thanks for being a part of our growing community. Until next time… Be Your Best You!
Achieving Your Peak, the Navy SEAL Way
If I want peak performance, I think about the Triad of Wellness: nutrition, exercise, and sleep. You can find this at www.getmissionready.com. If you eat the right foods, your brain will function properly and then everything else in your body will work optimally. You should maintain your fitness with exercise, and always have a good night's rest to wake up refreshed. To me, those are the three main areas of focus.
However, with the way we live our lives in this fast-paced society, you can't always work at your own pace or follow an exact plan. World events, the weather, and information are constantly changing. For example, in the 1980s when I was a U.S. Navy SEAL in a "training pace," so-to-speak, and we got called for a mission on 24 hours notice and deployed for many months. That meant we weren't getting much if any sleep that night and many more to follow. Instead, we were preparing to deploy overseas. And the few hours we did try to sleep, our minds were still racing with thoughts of planning and coordination—considering every contingency we could think of.
A lot of the time, when SEALs go on missions, whether they are training or real, they have been up for a very long period of time. It's not a football or baseball game with a set number of hours or a marathon or triathlon where you know the distance. All our missions were fraught with danger— we lost men in peacetime training, honing skills for war. Unlike the sports you see on television, our "game" can last for days, and instead of tearing an ACL or bruising muscles or breaking bones (which we do routinely), some of our SEALs are severely wounded or killed in action. In sports, the players get a pre-game night's rest and a hearty meal. In the SEAL business, you just might go to "the game" with no sleep and eating field rations along the way. At the end of "the game" you don't get interviewed on radio and television along with a victory celebration, but instead you can get orders for a follow-on mission. It happens.
As a former Commanding Officer of SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team TWO, our team participated in the most mentally and physically challenging and complex missions in special operations. We operated SEAL Delivery Vehicles (SDV) using submarines as a host platform. Any time you're working with submarines, you at the least double the complexity of the mission set, not to mention that the maritime environment is the most difficult to master.
SDV and submarine missions are very long. SDVs are wet submersibles, which mean the SEALs operating them are actually in a dive status breathing SCUBA. Despite wet and dry suits providing thermal protection, it can get really cold. Piloting and navigating the SDV is also a mental exercise because you're potentially driving for six hours or more. For a pilot flying a plane, he usually has a visible horizon and can look out the windows and see the land or ocean below and at night see the starts. In an SDV, you're underwater, on dive status, driving a relatively slow moving vehicle with absolutely no horizon, with nothing but instruments in front of you.
And that is what Navy SEAL trains to do. In our basic training you learn how to mentally push through all forms of adversity. We accepted difficult challenges on a routine basis as the norm and that included lack of sleep. We performed optimally in all our mission sets because we were in great physical shape and our training gave us a mindset and discipline to power through the most difficult of circumstances. Most of us ate really well and a lot too. The disrupter at home was the fact that, even when we were not deployed on a training exercise or in a combat zone, two or three times a week you're still working nights planning, coordinating, and executing training missions with the discipline and diligence you would in war. You train the way you will fight. So, you go back and forth between working days and nights, and you do this throughout a career. Meanwhile, your body is always trying to catch up on sleep.
When I was first in this business in the early 70s and 80s, we didn't have a lot of administrative, technical, and combat service support, so we had to do everything. We had less sleep. Now, SEAL teams have a lot of support troops and technicians that help them do things that we used to do on our own. The SEAL operators of today are able to get some more sleep than we did, which is the better for them.
I was trained to do all parts of the "peak performance triad" over the years: be in the best shape you can be—i.e., have good strength and endurance, eat well, and get good quality sleep when I could get it. I would always try to do this to my best ability. There are other components to peak performance like training, discipline, and mental focus. We'll talk about them in a future blog. But for now, if you focus on the triad, you'll be able to achieve peak performance, too.
Does Quality Sleep Equal Success?
We all want to do well – on the job, with our families, in our community. Quality sleep is an important part of this, without it we simply can't do our best. Today I'd like to talk about how sleep impacts our performance, everything from emotional intelligence to mental acuity to physical ability. Let's walk through a typical work day, and see how sleep impacts your success.
You arrive to your job, and immediately see your manager. With that first glance you each get information about the other that's going to shape your day. If you are sleep deprived, you are less able to read the emotions in your manager's face. Without accurately reading his emotions you may say the wrong thing at the wrong time. Your manager is also getting information. If you are sleep deprived, he is going to assess you as less healthy, more tired, and less attractive than when you are well rested.
Now it's time to sit at your computer and get a little work done before going out into the field. With a good night's rest you are able to concentrate on the project, and notice a detail that's not right. Since you are well rested you are able to think outside of the box, and do some creative problem solving that you wouldn't be able to do without adequate rest. A good night sleep improves our ability to concentrate, pay attention, and do complex problem solving.
With the computer work done, it's time to head out to the project site. Driving down the road, you remember the last trip when you were so sleepy that you swerved off the road, almost having an accident. About 37% of drivers say they have fallen asleep at the wheel in the last year. Just 2 hours of sleep deprivation has the same negative effect on driving as 2-3 beers. Many people have to drive as part of their job, so sleep deprivation can be a major safety risk for them. Poor sleep impairs our coordination, reaction time, and agility.
For me, this is a good example of the age-old "quality vs. quantity" dilemma. Would you like to have more hours awake when you can't concentrate, feel mentally slow, and are in danger of drowsy driving? Or would you rather be awake fewer hours when you are mentally sharp, energetic, and at the top of your game?
I'm solidly in the camp of quality days, rather than more hours awake. If you're on the fence, and still not convinced of the impact getting healthy sleep will have on your day, do a little experiment. Remember a time when you were really well-rested and doing your best on the job. How much sleep were you getting then? Now, for the next 10 days, get all the healthy sleep you need. The last three days, really pay attention to how you're doing on the job and with family. You'll find that optimal sleep really does make for optimal performance.
Reaching High Performance Through Nutrition
By Lori Tubbs
The best way I can describe nutritional high performance is the ability to perform specific physical skill sets optimally without chronic fatigue and/or lower performance measures. An example would be a runner adding miles to a weekly training schedule. Eating the right nutrients and calories in a timely manner to recover efficiently indicates a level of performance that can be challenged with intensity and/or duration increases without overall fatigue.
Consuming the proper nutrients in a variety of foods is an important aspect of high performance eating. There are six nutrients we need everyday. Fluids, and particularly water, are vital to optimal health performance and considered the most important. Hydration is a huge factor in maintaining high performance. Active muscles that are dry instead of wet are a sure sign of potential poor performance. Think about a sponge. When we buy dry sponges and add water to them notice how they expand significantly. Hydrated muscles are those wet sponges that indicate healthy cells able to functionally work optimally.
Did you know that a lot of people think that they're hungry, when in fact they're really thirsty and it is water that they need? In 2004, the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies set general recommendations for water intake. Adequate fluid intake levels indicate that approximately 2.7 liters (91 oz) for women and 3.7 liters (125 oz) for men is recommended for healthy adults. These numbers represent total water from all beverages and foods. Those physically active and who live in hot and humid climates may need more water. About 80% of people's total water comes from drinking beverages and the other 20% is food derived. Before eating the next large meal because of hunger, assess how much fluid in beverages and foods (fruits and vegetables) have been consumed in the hours beforehand. There may be the that drinking a glass of water will curb that appetite.
The other nutrients include vitamins and minerals, which are the catalysts to the other three macronutrients: carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
When you combine all six of these nutrients in the proper amounts, you have an optimal daily meal plan. Meal planning should always include all three macronutrients. Including a little protein, carbohydrate and fat satisfies hunger while providing vitamins and minerals. Keeping calories under control by emphasizing nutrient dense foods in the meal plan will ensure control of unnecessary body weight and body fat. Nutrient-dense eating is a way to consume food for the purpose of optimal health. The more highly nutrient-dense a food is, the more nutrients it provides per calorie. Vegetables and fruits have the highest nutrient scores followed by grains, dairy and protein. Examples of low nutrient density foods include candy, cookies and chips, usually high in saturated fats and sugars. If you are focused on eating nutrient dense foods, you're likely getting the vitamins and minerals that you need.
A good general reference to help guide you in developing good dietary habits and meal plans is the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans. If dietary supplements are in question for better performance, it is recommended to see a Registered Dietitian (RD) first. RD's can assess your nutritional needs and daily expenditures. They can help you get your diet in check with the right amount of carbohydrates, proteins and fat. We can usually fix the problem when it comes to an optimal diet. The first course of action is always looking at the meal plan and then supplementation.
With the right effort, you will find both mental and physical rewards in performance. When you add in proper sleep and restoration, you can achieve the high performance you're looking for daily or any athletic event planned for. In a perfect world, proper eating, physical training and getting the right amount of sleep leads to performing optimally every day.
My next post will be focused on promoting good health and reducing the risk for major chronic diseases through nutrition and physical activity. Until then, here are a few great resources, if you're thinking about supplementation as a part of your nutrition program:
USP.org – The United States Pharmacopeia is a third party non-profit organization, which uses a validation process for basic testing of vitamins to prevent contamination and to make sure products are developed purely and labels are correct.
NSF.org – The NSF is a public health and safety company that protects consumers by certifying products and for writing standards for food, water and consumer goods. Their health commitment is to encourage consumers to live safer.

This may be the most valuable information regarding personal cyber security that I have ever seen. All the anti-virus programs and firewalls in the world will do little good if you're blabbing your "secret" information to the world via social networking sites.
This is precisely how Sarah Palin's e-mail account was hacked. A malicious individual, seeing publicly-available details about her, was successfully able to provide the correct answers to the security questions Mrs. Palin used for one of her e-mail accounts. Through this vulnerability, the hacker obtained access to the governor's personal e-mail.
Thank you, Leo, for such thorough coverage of this personal security problem.

Prix Fixe dinner deals in Manhattan ?
We had a wonderful meal at Telepan tonight that was an incredible deal: $39 for 3 courses (served until 6:30 Mon-Thurs). We are here from San Francisco and have a couple of other week nights and would love any suggestions for other deals like that. (We found this one by hapenstance by looking on their website and a web and Chow search did not turn up much.) It is a bit last minute, but we don't mind eating early and would rather spend the money on plays!
- Some of Jean George's restaurants offer a $38 prix fixe for dinner (Nougatine, Perry St., JoJo, Vong, Matsugen and Mercer Kitchen). They are also offering $26 lunch prix fixe.
- Hearth is offering an Autumn tasting menu (3 courses for $35). The tasting menu is 3 set items, no choices.
- Compass is offering a $35 3 course prix fixe
- Vice Versa offers a $35 3 course prix fixe, as does their sister restaurant, Etc. Etc.
- Eleven Madison Park offers a 2 course LUNCH prix fixe for $28
- Momofuku Ssam bar offers a 3 course LUNCH prix fixe for $25
Momofuku Noodle Bar is doing a 4 course dinner, but i don't quite remember how much it was... somewhere between $35 and $45
Use the dropdown to sort by neighborhood, etc. It's on the way right hand side, under the lightning bolts.
Control + F and type "dinner" to quickly find the dinner deals
re: kathryn
I love the idea of the map & the list, but Eater & Grub Street don't update them. Community Food and Juice and Union Prime are closed - and that's just what I noticed in a random spot check.
re: small h
They used to update them, I guess nobody is reporting when the deals/restaurants are done.
What about the winedanddined.com list?
re: kathryn
Thanks, that looks a little more current. Except that Community Food & Juice is on Wined and Dined's list as well. Maybe CF&J is open again, and I'm the one who hasn't updated (although their website indicates otherwise).
Perry St's three course $38 dinner prix fixe (Sunday-Friday, 5:30-6:00 PM and after 9:30 PM) and Picholine's Menu d'Economie (flight of 3 small plates for $20, regular-sized courses at $15 each) and are among the best dinner deals in NYC. Both serve much better food than Telepan IMO.
Allegretti offers a $39 3-course prix fixe all evening, Mon. - Sat. Superb Provencal-style French cuisine -- though very different from Telepan, imo, superior. Excellent service and lovely ambiance.
Momofuku Noodle bar has a great $30 PF dinner (amuse, three courses, and soft serve) and a $20 lunch (amuse, 2 courses, and soft serve). The menu always changes and is sometimes posted here:
It's one of my favorite meals in town. Sometimes you'll try something wonderful and never see it on the menu again.
La Sirene offers a $27, 3 course PF 5-7PM cash only & is BYOB http://www.lasirenenyc.com/
re: bruceb04
The first time we ate at La Sirene, the owner was there and we had a fantastic prix fixe. The last time it was over labor day weekend (I know, bad idea) and the owner was not present. The skate was really watery and it wasn't quite good. The tastiest thing were the vegetable sides. I would still go back, but I would make sure that the owner was in.

Chara Won't Last Forever in NHL
For Zdeno Chara, a sixth Norris trophy nomination is a wonderful feat, and at 37-years-old, the 6'9" defenseman is still at his best and absolutely vital to the Bruins' success.
But thinking about where his career stands at this point, he comprehends the significance of this year's playoff time and his recent award candidacy.
"As you get older and you've been in the league for a while, you don't realize how much you're going to maybe miss that part of the game once you're gone," Chara said, according to the Metro West Daily News. "I'm kind of realizing that the time is not going to be always there."
Chara didn't want to make it seem like retirement was imminent, stating "I'm not saying that I'm thinking about being gone or retiring," but in the end, his post-NHL days are circulating in his mind.
While one may think that Chara will perform into his 40's, seasons move forward quickly, and issues, such as injuries, can promptly end a career for a long-time veteran.
Before you know it, Boston's cherished big man will move on with his life.
Back in 1996, the New York Islanders drafted Chara in the 3rd round. Capping off his eighth season in Beantown, the Slovakian has led an illustrious career with four-year stints for the Islanders and Ottawa Senators.
Right now, Chara treasures his work day-to-day.
"I enjoy really coming to the rink every day. I enjoy competing in practices against guys and always in the games. I love the game."
Taking on the Montreal Canadiens in hopes of capturing another Stanley Cup, the defenseman will do anything possible to hoist the hardware.

I have used these for the past 2 summers and they work great. A few ticks got on my one dog but I never found a one on the other dog and the ticks have been terrible here in the mountains the last two years. I highly recommend this product.
Been using this product for 10 yrs with 1st dogs, and now almost 5 yrs with 2nd dogs! Never had a problem, and has been very protective!
This product has been the most effective treatment to keep our dogs tick free. By far the best product of this type on the market.
My Scottie was coming back from walks in woods/tall grass with lots of ticks. They would attach, even though she is on Frontline Plus year-round. I added this collar, and it works! She had no skin reaction to it, and once on her, the buckle stays tight and never needs readjustment. You can even get the collar wet, although I take it off when I bathe her. She is on her 4th collar now (I stop during winter months), and each one I;ve used has lasted the full 90 days promised. I still occasionally find a tick, but they are either already dead or don't attach at all. My vet also approves of this combination of Preventic collar and Frontline Plus. Highly recommend!
works great on one of the dogs, not as good on the other, still find 1 or 2 once in while
Have 2 small dogs in an area that has both dog and deer ticks.They go for a walk every day in grass and near big trees .Never a sign of a tick.I change collars every 3 months religiously and have not had a tick on them in 3 years.
The collar works well. Since using it we have seen a decline in the number of pests around our house and on our dog.
We live here in Florida. Ticks all year round.
2 years ago, tick infestation in house and on 6 dogs. Besides fogging the house , preventic collars were the only way the tick problem got solved. Since then, dogs wear collars, and no more ticks have been spotted in house or on them!!
I've used these collars for years and they are great at keeping the ticks off my dogs. Entirely Pets is a great web site to order from. They are so much cheaper than at a Vets office and the service is excellent. They arrive very quickly once I order.. I will always continue to use Entirely Pets.. Thank you.
This Tick Collar is hard to locate in local pet shops. Entirely Pets had it easily available at a low price.
This tick collar was recommended to me by my vet. I love them. I live in a heavily wooded area where I was having a real problem all year with ticks on my 4 dogs. This collar solves the problem. It says it kills ticks for 3 mos. but I have found that it works closer to 5 mos. if you don't get it wet. Highly recommend this product.
Love this product. much cheaper then buying from the Vet Office....
These collars were the only thing that controlled the ticks on my dogs. Advantix did not work as well as these did. Don't pay the money for Advantix...just get these collars. They work!!
My dogs use Revolution and Preventic adds the missing protection that they need.
Entirely Pets website "froze" during order processing and locked my CPU. Had to reboot. Assuming the order did not go through I re-entered the order. Then got two confirmations of the order ... the first frozen order had gone thru and so did the 2nd. Called immediately to cancel the second but was told the order was on its way and could not be cancelled. This was minutes after placing the order. Was told to refuse delivery but would have to pay shipping. Could not refuse and so had to call for an R/A and eat the shipping both ways. Very poor handling by all ... I included ... but ... there has to be a better way ... check with L. L. Bean for guidance
My dog's vet recommended this collar when she contracted lymes disease. She plays in the woods all the time and I was always taking ticks off of her. I thought the drops I put on her back warded off ticks, but they did not. Since she started wearing the collar, I have not seen one tick on her and I am about to purchase her third collar
Single piece price on other websites, $18-$24. Got this 2 pack from Entirely Pets for the price of one. Thanks Entirely Pets... for keeping my dog free of ticks since we put on the collar.
I live in an area that is quite heavily infested with ticks and had a real problem with them liking my dog. My vet told me about the Preventik collar and did not know how well it worked but said that hunters buy them faithfully! I had nothing to lose and bought one from the vet and 3 plus years later, I still have not had a tick on our dog. They are replaced every 3 months and that is it! Best product ever!
The Tick Colllars intially were a bit slow in preventing ticks. After about 3 weeks all the ticks are gone.
My vet recommended this tick collar several years ago and this is the best product for tick protection. I have 2 dachshunds and 3 cats and use the collars instead of the once a month products since the dogs and cats interact closely.
It does a great job. There have been few if any ticks and most never attach. I highly recommend Preventic Collars.
we are using this collar on our 2nd set of shelties, and find it is much better than the topical agents.
We had a problem with ticks for 6 months and tried everything! Sprayed the house and yard several times and used topical and sprays on the dogs. We put the collars on them and haven't seen them since! I highly recommend this collar.
Have used the Preventic tick collar, on both our dogs now for over a year. We live on a mountain top in Kentucky, (lots, and lots of ticks), all year round, and guess what; at last....a product that really works, and works good.
The dead ticks just roll off their backs, with no harm to the dogs.
the only brand my vet and groomer recommend. found the best price here, from entirely pets and the collars were delivered really fast. the expiration date was well into 2013. i had heard of other companies that sent the product with expired merchandise or just-about-to-expire dates. great service, great price. i will definitely shop here again!
Was pulling 6-7 ticks/day off each dog while using Frontline. Switched to these collars and it is 1 tick every couple of days. Effective, but a little smelly.
While it's too early to give a complete review of this product, after several weeks of use, no sign of ticks have occurred on either of two dogs.
I have 2 (outside) dogs that both wear these collars...neither dog have ever had a tick problem...Except for once when their collars had expired! Entirely Pets Express mailed me 2 new ones that I received the next day!
This is by far the best tick control AND preventative I've ever used! I adopted a stray, and tried baths, Frontline, and tedious hand removal of hundreds of ticks. Then a friend recommended this collar - ticks were gone! Recently, we ran into ticks again, and NO ticks after I put this collar on my dogs.
I use the Preventic Tick Collar regularly in North Central PA where the deer ticks are a threat. Along with Frontline Plus, my dogs are protected year round. Entirely Pets has consistently kept these collars in stock and affordable.
We had a real tick problem several years ago and even though we use the topical tick.flea stuff we also put a tick collar on our dog. The first few collars I purchased at the Vet and it was quite a bit more costly than Entirely Pets. The service is very prompt and since using this collar we haven't seen any ticks on her
This collar has been very effective in keeping ticks off my Jack Russell Terrier. We've had a real problem with ticks in the Northeast, where we live. I would highly recomend this collar for anyone, that lives in an area with ticks. I also use this collar while using Frontline Plus drops on my dog. I will continue to use this collar on my dog.
My dog spends a lot of time running in the fields and has never gotten a tick with this collar.
Simple review to follow -
We have two small dogs who love to play in our Florida woods where ticks can really be a problem. These collars work wonderfully. Ordering from EntirelyPets was easy and quick.
My tick problem has been horrible this year. Frontline Plus has not been able to keep the ticks off they are so bad. I bought one of these collars for each of my three Shih-tzus. It is week 4 and I have found only one tick that has latched on between all three dogs. I am amazed.
I sell these tick collars at my grooming shop because I think they are effective and safe for most dogs. My usual wholesale vendor no longer sells them, so I bought from Entirely Pets. The product is identical, but the pricing is high and rather strange, since the larger size is offered at a six pack discount but the smaller size only has a two pack discount. This means that the smaller size is more expensive than the larger size, which doesn't make sense to me (or my customers.) These are not actually six packs or two packs, just single collars sold together for the discount, so why not offer a six pack price break on the smaller size?
Other than that, the order was delivered quickly and I had no problems with the transaction.
I purchased these last year and was very happy with the results. They really work. Just wish they lasted longer than 3 months.
They work and are much cheaper then the same product from our vet.
We received product in a very timely manner. Also, we were extremely pleased to see that the tick collars sent to us had an expiration date 15 months out and were very reasonably priced. Definitely would recommend EntirelyPets.com to family and friends!
We moved to Florida from the upper midwest and rescued a puppy. We had all kinds of trouble with ticks, ad the vet suggested Preventic. It worked immediately with no ill effects. Now we can mail order from Entirely Pets and get it quickly at a much better price.
I've been using Preventic collars on all my Standard Poodles for the past 15+ years and have been 100% satisfied with them. We live in the Mid-Atlantic region where ticks are abundant and my dogs are out in parks and wooded areas everyday. I've never found a tick on my dogs when they are wearing their Preventic collars. I recommend them to friends and students all the time. I trust them completely.
The Preventic Tick collar does all that it claims. It's the only thing that I've used that keeps all kinds of ticks off my dogs, including the tiny deer ticks.
I've used these collar for 3 years, and ticks haven't built a tolerance to them, unlike some of the other products that I've used.
I know the product I bought is good, as I use them regularly. Unfortunately, I ordered small tick collars when I needed large, my fault.
We tried everything else...shampoos, topical applications, sprays, spraying the yard and the house...and STILL had ticks. This worked. After the collar was on for about 3-5 days, we didn't see a live tick for two and a half months. Please carry these forever!!
When we lived in an area where we didn't have fleas, only ticks, Preventic was a great way to keep the dogs tick free. We used to walk the dogs in a field where ticks were plentiful. I never had to pick a tick off of them because the preventic worked so well.
I have ranch dogs who have ticks every year. These tick collars are the first I have tried that actually keep their ears tick-free. I would highly suggest anyone give them a try.
When field training or walking in woods or tall grass I add the protection of this collar . Even though I use Frontline , I still use the collar
All I can say is AWESOME product. Used this collar along with Trifexis for flea & heart worm prevention. I gave up on Frontline over a year ago. I have 4 dogs and it has helped me even save money.
I have two standard poodles with very thick fur. My house is also on several acres of fields and woods. It's a paradise for the poodles and their tick friends. Of all the products I have tried, this is by far the best. Since I began using this product, I have not found ONE tick on either dog. A week before, as I was grooming one of them, I had found over a dozen ticks. This product is a necessity for my pet family!

LeBron James has fun playing basketball, and every once in a while we get a great moment when he shows it.
In Game 3 against the Pacers, Miami fell down by 15 points early. But the Heat battled back behind the LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and four three-pointers by Ray Allen.
LeBron assisted on two of them, and after one when absolutely insane.

What is interaction design?
October 9 2014
or rather, What do interaction designers do? At the end of the Experience Prototyping course at UID, the students raised that question. It is a rather fundamental one, and impossible to answer in one single way and it will be different for anyone that considers themself to be working in this field. Very recently, one way of thinking about such questions was eloquently sketched by Joep Frens in his Nierenberg Lecture at the design department of Carnegy Melon University in Pitsburg on October 1st, 2014. https://vimeo.com/108268795 (Joep came to teach one week of Experience Prototyping at UID in 2011)
TEI'15 Student Design Challenge
October 7 2014
Important Dates October 22, 2014, 11:59 pm PST: Entry submission deadline November 22, 2014: Notification of Acceptance December 5, 2014, 11:59 pm PST: Student Design Challenge team commitment and registration The Challenge The Internet of Things is curiously lacking in knobs and switches. Instead, it's controlled by a collection of glass rectangles. Our hands do more than just touch and swipe, however. We have fingers that can feel, pinch, grip, turn, and point. They are attached to our arms, which act as levers to amplify the force we can exert with our hands. Our hands and arms are covered with nerve endings that give us intelligence about the world we live in that our eyes and ears can't fully deliver. History is littered with tools we've designed to take full advantage of our hands. Even into the early electronic era, we have designed wonderfully informative tangible tools. Great tangible controls are not just input devices. They act as physical indicators of the state of a system that we read through our hands. The click of a switch gives us haptic feedback that the device has heard our commands. The arrangement of a row of sliders reads like a graph to our fingers. Good tangible interfaces are also well-coupled with the things they control, providing an immediate feedback loop. The feedback from a steering mechanism makes your body a part of the vehicle's movement, encouraging you to rely on more than just your eyes and ears. Everyday appliances have grown some wonderful new features thanks to digital technologies. Home lighting is no longer just white light, nor need it be strictly turned on and off with a single switch. Lighting designers (and consumers) can now play with color, intensity, and time in their lamps. Yet tablet device interfaces lack the convenience and immediacy of the switch, particularly when you're fumbling in the dark. How can you deliver on the promise of these new features, yet retain the convenience and tangible intelligence of the switch? This year's design challenge is to imagine a digital present that takes full advantage of the capabilities of your hands and arms and delivers not only control, but also feedback about the system it controls. What the everyday tangible controls of our daily life for the 21st century. What's the best tangible light switch for the Philips Hue? What's the track selector on a Spotify jukebox? What controls give a media editor the ability to think through his work with his body, shifting pieces, clipping and extending with his hands and arms? Design so that your user can take full advantage of the capabilities of her hands, both operating and learning from touch, feel, and position. Use no sound, and no more than 64 pixels* in your final design. Imagine devices that that allow your user to keep her eyes and ears on the task, not on the controls.

Physical Charts
September 22 2014
The amazing folks at Microsoft Research Cambridge have come up with a few mechanical contraptions that elegantly represent data in the tangible and physical world. Here is the description of the project, from the web page: The physical charts are an attempt to make data and data visualisations legible to ordinary people in their daily lives. In response to the increasing sophistication of data visualisations and the seemingly unquestioning quest for novelty, the charts make playful use of long established and highly familiar representations like pie charts and bar graphs. Rather than estrange viewers, the objective is to enable them to, at a glance, engage with and comprehend data. The physical and dynamic qualities of the charts are intended to draw people in to viewing data, differentiating them from screen-based visualisations that are beginning to lose their salience in our information-rich environments. The beauty of the charts is in how simple they are to read and how the physical mechanics produce strikingly visual (and tactile) representations of data. Check the videos at http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/cambridge/projects/physicalcharts The Physical Charts were designed and built by David Sweeney - with software development from Tim Regan and Alex Butler.

This was the most satisfying moment in the game last night. Watching Jacoby humiliate that homophobe was brilliant.
My favorite comment regarding this: "Culliver is so homophobic that he won't even touch the dudes on the other team."
Let's put ourselves in the undergraduate student's position. Someone eighteen years old, embarking on an academic career, might well ask: Will this world welcome me, welcome my potential abilities? Or am I being trained for a life on a hamster wheel? Is my value simply the value of a hamster that can run, a bioform for the Matrix to plug into and extract my essence for the benefit of a larger machine? Is this world full of possibilities, is it asking me to contribute, welcoming my contribution, valuing me for the things known and unknown that I may one day be able to contribute? Or am I being wronged from the start, treated as a "customer," which all too often means, alas, someone to fleece?
Is the world full of smart and welcoming adults who are interested in what I have to say, encouraging me to work hard and learn and try things, or is it full of thieves and charlatans who are out to rip me off and saddle me with debt and enslave me before I even get a chance to start my adult life??
Let's consider this from the educator's point of view, as well. Doesn't the quality of a culture rely in part on a deep, dynamic interaction between those who are adults now, and those who will be soon?…
Let me suggest that it's not the young workers who are being trained wrong. It's the bosses.
Client: We don't think you've delivered the quality of work that was in the reference video we sent you.
Me: Well, sir, that's because the reference video had an $8,000 production cost, and you have a $400 budget.
Client: Why would that make a difference?
I just saw Django Unchained last night and I have to say it has my vote for best film of the year. Brilliant.
The part of a book where the title actually starts to make sense.
I re-watched the Hobbit the other night and this remains the most ludicrous yet oddly enjoyable part of the film.
The Sean Beans of our world need our help. They have been crushed to death by secret agents, shot full of arrows by uruk-hai, and beheaded by little snot nosed brats. Help us lead the fight against unfair and unethical treatment directed towards so noble an actor.
Just sold this shirt the other night. I forgot I made it. Now that song is stuck in my head all over again.
