This property is in a great location, near the Florida Tpk. and not far from 95. There are restaurants and shopping close by. The rooms were clean but needed some updating and the older part of the hotel did not have an elevator. I found out that if you stay in " the Tower" there is an elevator and newer rooms. The breakfast had enough of a variety to get you going in the morning. All the employees were very pleasant and helpful and the cookies in the evening were yummy!.

Not even close to what I was expecting. Ask for 4 cups of water, way too much if you are using 2 beer. Taste is good but beer cheese soup should be thick not watery. I would recommend you try another recipe as this was far below expectations. Go Packers!!!
This was delicious! When it came time to add the beer and chicken stock to the pot, I also threw in a handful of croutons and let them cook into the soup...it really gave it a nice touch. Lastly, once soup is served into bowls, I recommend stirring in a splash of beer and then sprinkling parmesan cheese over the soup before serving...it really enhances the flavors! If you think the soup is going to be too thin, or you don't feel it looks creamy enough, try this trick: Pour half of the soup from the pot into a blender, add some parmesan cheese and blend it for a few seconds. Then return the blended half of soup back into the pot and stir it up...you'll find the concoction to be creamier.
I used a hefeweisen and I think that was a great choice as it wasn't overpowering. I only used 2 pints of chicken stock and thought the consistency was just right.
Cheesy and delicious. The texture was just right; not too thin or too thick. I used lager beer and sharp cheddar cheese. I offered several different garnishes such as croutons, scallions, bacon pieces and chopped tomatoes so each person could personalize their bowl. Thanx for sharing!
I really like this soup. I've been making this for several years based on a recipe submitted by Varpu Mikkonen in my Our Best Home Cooking cookbook from the House of Finland in San Diego, California. And yes, this is credited to the Coburg Inn of Coburg, Oregon. The only difference between this recipe and the one in my book is that my book calls for 1/4 teaspoon MSG, which I'd omit anyway! Thanks, Lavender Lynn, for posting this for me! And I love your history behind it!
This is a very tasty soup,that is easily made with the absolute minimum of fuss and effort.It has very bold flavours that work very well together (as my DH said,two of his favourite things together in one bowl can't be bad!). I was a little concerned at first,about the amount of liquid going into it,fearing that it would be a really thin soup-but it thickened beautifully while simmering,and was just right. Thanks Lavender Lynn. Made for Photo Tag.
This hearty soup is a real crowd pleaser. We loved the combination of the dry mustard, beer and cheese. Very flavorful and comforting. The extra added bonus is that it is easy to make too. Great recipe, Lavender Lynn.

Capital One Bowl Gallery: S. Carolina 34, Wisconsin 24

There's still time to join thousands of Big Ten fans and have some fun! Sign up to run in our Aug. 6 Big 10K in Chicago.
Connor Shaw was responsible for five touchdowns, including three passing, and No. 8 South Carolina outlasted No. 19 Wisconsin 34-24 in the Capital One Bowl on Wednesday.
Tommy Armstrong Jr. connected with Quincy Enunwa for two touchdowns, including a 99-yarder in the third quarter, and Nebraska held on to beat No. 23 Georgia 24-19 in the rain-soaked Gator Bowl on Wednesday.
Illinois senior Joseph Bertrand has plenty of highlight-reel plays to his name. But none may be better than his reverse alley-oop in Tuesday's Big Ten opener vs. Indiana. Now, Bertrand has slammed down a previous reverse alley-oop (watch it in this post), but this one was even better. Like, a lot better. See for yourself in this post.
That was a fun start to the Big Ten conference slate! No. 3 Ohio State held off Purdue, Illinois topped Indiana in overtime, No. 5 Michigan State rallied past Penn State, and No. 22 Iowa took down Nebraska. Catch up on all the action and get video highlight in this post.
So, the postseason hasn't gotten off to a stellar start for the Big Ten. The league is 0-2, as Minnesota lost to Syracuse in the Texas Bowl and Michigan got drubbed by Kansas State in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. But all is not lost. The Big Ten has five bowls left, offering plenty of opportunity for redemption and image rehabilitation.

opinons = assholes.
nearly everyone who has a quibble with erica's article bases their argument on fear. "but what about the truck-based jobs?" when gas is $5/gallon, those will be the only vehicles on the road.
enough fear-based civic planning.
#1 Max -
Could you please reword your comment? I have no clue what the point or argument is.
I'm glad to see most people got my point that, with the growth (double population by 2040) in Seattle, we have to start building real transit - bus, streetcars, monorails (Sky Train, whatever), light rail - no matter what.
Just think, if we'd voted for the Green Line, we'd be done already.
The Nader analogy cracks me up. I'm not sure which would be the "Dubya" choice, but I don't recall that Al Gore has been clamoring for maintaining highway capacity recently. My guess is that the surface + transit option is *exactly* what he'd be flogging.
$5 per gallon of gas is still pretty cheap. There would be squawking, but it wouldn't actually change behavior that much. As a fraction of people's earnings, in constant dollars, gas is not far from its historically low price. A gallon today costs about 10 cents in 1949 dollars, or about a third of the actual cost in 1949, adjusting for average wages.
I also note that worldwide 380 new car factories building 100,000 cars each will be opened in the next decade, mostly in China and India. That doesn't include increased capacity at existing plants. The car boom has just barely begun.
5.00 or 7.00 or 9.00 a gallon - trucking will pass on the cost - sheer need
just how do you think every item in your house, in your office, in any store, in any school, in every GOD dAMNED FUCKING place (this is Slog) get there? Coolie rickshaw? Pack mule? Bike boy systems?
Back to planet earth, transportation is here to stay. Human kind has not looked back since the invention of the wheel. Duh, just where did some of these people learn critical thinking.
Tell us oh wise Fnarf. Why all the dull wits on these issues?
Does Erica really believe because she can walk, bike or bus to work - that 200,000 job holders in the region can do the same --- geez
I voted rebuild..... quickly
And I will vote for some new very steep taxes for more mass transit.....
by the way - Flex Car is great system to help not own, and drive on a measured schedule
#6 Jeez - everybody knows that stuff comes from the Internets.
I for one was jazzed when I got a mailer from the Sierra Club openly espousing the No-No vote - even though I voted yes for the Viaduct last week. Good to see enviro groups standing up for the correct position.
The funny thing is one of the early routes under consideration for the monorail was along Alaskan Way.
The main reason for removing it from consideration? To avoid getting caught up in the political mess over deciding what to do about replacing it.
Perhaps it's time to revisit rapid transit there?

Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats

Highly Recommended, BUT With One Caveat
Feb. 15 2003
This review is from:
Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats (Paperback)
Nourishing Traditions is marketed as a cookbook, but the first 80 pages of this book contain a comprehensive debunking of many nutritional myths that have become annoyingly pervasive. Even if you never use a single recipe from the book, these first 80 pages, and the numerous information snippets that feature on virtually every page of the recipe section of the book, are worth their weight in gold, and more than justify the purchase price. Sally Fallon and Mary Enig have done an excellent job of emphasizing how nutrient-depleted, additive-laden processed foods, and not saturated fat, protein or cholesterol, are the true dietary villains.
There is however, one caveat I would issue to readers of this book. Fallon is an enthusiastic advocate of raw milk, citing the destruction of enzymes that occur during milk pasteurization. I totally agree that we should eat a significant portion of our food raw, but the frequent detection of Salmonella, Brucella, Escheria Coli, Corynebacteria, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Listeria, Mycobacteria, Campylobacter and Yersinia in raw milk samples should convince all but the most foolhardy to look elsewhere for raw sources of food enzymes.
Low-Fat Lies: High Fat Frauds and the Healthiest Diet in the World

Unscientific, Highly Subjective Ranting
Nov. 16 2002
This review is from:
Low-Fat Lies: High Fat Frauds and the Healthiest Diet in the World (Paperback)
The authors of this book attack both low fat/high carb diets, and high fat/low carb diets as unhealthy, ineffective, and dangerous. They then try to establish themselves as purveyors of the sensible middle ground by promoting yet another variant of the so-called Mediterranean Diet. Nice marketing angle I guess, but there are some glaring faults in this book that deserve comment.
The first thing Mr Vigilante and Ms Flynn could do is try and tone down the emotionally-charged rhetoric, and the personal attacks on authors whose theories they disagree with. Discredit someone by objectively examining and finding fault with their teachings, not by incessantly calling them 'carb-phobes' or 'fat-phobes'. Their venom is childish, unbecoming, and in some instances, unbearably corny.
If the authors insist on being obnoxiously hostile and sarchastic, they could at least make sure they have their facts right. In the section where they attack low carb/high fat diets they have included The Zone Diet by Barry Sears. They give Sears a lashing, as they do every other author they don't like, but The Zone Diet recommends 40% of calories be obtained from carbs - hardly a low carb diet. The Zone is at best a moderate carb diet, and doesn't even come close to being ketogenic. Furthermore, the Zone calls for 30% of calories from fat - less than the 40% eaten by the Cretan men who showed such remarkable health and longevity back in the 1960's. If the 30% fat content of the Zone diet qualifies it as a "high fat fraud", then where does that leave the Cretan diet that the authors worship?
The authors really need to get up to date on low carb nutrition. Vigilante apparently decided he was going to be a sworn enemy-for-life of low carb diets after a single unfavorable experience on the Atkins Diet. Vigilante barely made it through the "induction" phase, which is the severest part of the Atkins regimen, lasts 2 weeks, and occurs when beginning Atkins. That two week phase is hardly representative of low carb eating in general. If Vigilante had stuck with the diet a little longer and tweaked things around a little he just may have experienced newfound levels of energy and mental focus, as has been the experience of myself and numerous others who have adopted low carb eating.
Vigilante claims there is no research to back the superior weight loss claims made for low carb diets, except for a single flawed study that appeared in the Lancet over 40 years ago. Vigilante further claims that the only way low carb diets can cause weight loss is because of their low calorie intake, thus making them no better than other low calorie diets. A basic search on Pubmed quickly highlights the absurdities of Vigilantes claims. There have been numerous studies conducted comparing low carb/high fat diets with other diets of similar calorie intake that showed superior fat loss with low carb diets. For example, Young et al, 1971, performed an experiment with three diferent carb and fat intakes, with all diets being equal in calories. They found the lower the carb intake and the higher the fat intake, the more fat was lost and the more muscle was retained, which is what every dieter strives for. This is but only one example- like I said, the authors should have done their research before going public with such inflammatory hyperbole. Their virulent anti-low carb sentiments are simply not backed by science.
The notion that the Mediterranean Diet is low in animal fat is another bad joke. Vigilante comes from an Italian background - so do I. Home-made cheese, sausages and salami, freshly laid eggs, full cream milk, pork, were regular dietary staples of Southern Italian immigrants. These folks were generally healthy, highly productive and lived long lives (in some cases 90+). My Grandma is still going strong at 82 (ciao Nonna!). Anyone even remotely familiar with Greek nutrition knows the Greeks frequently eat lots of lamb, fetta and pork.
I agree with the authors' conclusions on low fat/high carb diets but there are other far better dissertations on the pitfalls of low fat/high carb diets. 'Neanderthin' by Ray Audette, 'Life Without Bread' by Allan and Lutz, and 'Atkins New Diet Revolution' by Dr. Atkins are far more thoroughly researched tomes that address the problems associated with low fat, high carb diets and provide evidence for the benefits of lowering carb intake. I would also suggest reading Uffe Ravnskov's 'The Cholesterol Myths' and the writings of Mary Enig (Know Your Fats, and her articles at the Weston A. Price website) to help abolish the ridiculous notion that monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are 'good' but saturated fats are somehow, inexplicably, 'bad'.
Heart Frauds: Uncovering the Biggest Health Scam In History

Highly Recommended For Anyone Interested In Heart Disease!
Oct. 12 2002
This review is from:
Heart Frauds: Uncovering the Biggest Health Scam In History (Paperback)
Charles T McGee presents a witty, often hilarious, and always to-the-point attack on the hugely profitable industry that has grown around heart disease.
Mc Gee reviews the studies conducted to date on open heart surgery - many would be shocked to know that they have all failed to show any appreciable longevity benefit for those who undergo surgery compared to those who don't.
McGee presents, with cutting wit, an example of a typical sales-like pitch on the benefits of open heart surgery often given to patients who have just had a heart attack. Patients are typically told they will be unlikely to live to see the next morning unless they undergo surgery right away. Studies examining the survival rate of patients who successfully choose to eschew surgery and opt for other means of addressing their illness reveal this pitiful sales pitch for the nonsense it truly is. It appears the only thing truly in danger if patients start refusing open heart operations is the ability of the surgeon to keep up the lease payments on his new Mercedes.
McGee also presents a highly critical expose' of the field of angiogragphy. He reveals that the most effective form of angiogram has been typically confined to use in research settings, while the less effective version is the one commonly used in the clinical setting to make the all-important decision on whether or not to operate.
McGee also takes a shot at the cholesterol theory. He highlights how the theory has it's origins in flawed animal experiments performed by Russian researchers at the beginning of the twentieth century, and then goes on to highlight the many other studies that have failed to show any benefit from cholesterol lowering.
McGee doesn't just attack the medical industry and then run - he discusses low risk treatments like EDTA chelation therapy that are typically ignored by drug-obsessed mainstream medicine.
The only flaw with the book is the author's praise for Dean Ornish and Nathan Pritikin, both who promoted spartan diets with unhealthy recommendations for unnaturally low fat intakes. Ornish, for example, published a study where the arteries of an intervention group reportedly widened in comparison to a group not recieving the intervention treatment. Ornish's treatment group recieved a multiple intervention treatment - excercise five days a week, smoking cessation, meditation and group counselling in addition to a low fat vegetarian diet. McGee claims those who highlight the fact that this was a multiple intervention are "missing the point". I totally disagree. Ornish used several different treatments in his intervention group but when speaking with journalists and writing for the public, talks as if the low fat diet was the decisive factor in his study. One cannot in good conscience make this claim when there is absolutely no proof to back it up - one of the most basic rules of science is to control your variables. All Ornish can claim from his study is that a MULTILPE intervention, encompassing all the tactics he used, was successful in widening arteries. We know that excercise can widen arteries, and that was one of the interventions Ornish used. There is no evidence a vegan diet can achieve this effect. Ornish should be honest enough to admit this, but instead he persistently bad mouths all but the most austere low fat diets. Unfortunately McGee fails to pick up on this, so I would recommend one keep this in mind whilst reading this section of the book.
Heart Frauds' strong point is its' thorough discrediting of the entire heart disease industry, and the tactics used by this industry to ensure its continued future profitability. If you are a heart disease patient, or have a friend or loved one who has CHD, I would highly recommend this book. I would also recommend Uffe Ravnskov's "The Cholesterol Myths" , the best examination of the cholesterol issue I have read to date. Ravnskov's book also contains an enlightening discussion on the hugely popular statin drugs; McGee's book was written before the rise of these drugs.
The Paleo Diet: Lose Weight and Get Healthy by Eating the Food You Were Designed to Eat

This Is How The Cavemen Ate? Uh, I Don't Think So!
Sept. 30 2002
This review is from:
The Paleo Diet: Lose Weight and Get Healthy by Eating the Food You Were Designed to Eat (Hardcover)
When I first heard Loren Cordain was finally authoring a book on paleo nutrition I was quite excited, for Cordain has conducted a lot of very insightful research into the eating patterns of our hunter-gatherer ancestors. When I finally got to examine the book though, I was sorely disappointed.
Cordain evidently seems to have ignored much of his own research. The most alarming error is his frequent recommendation to use flax oil when cooking meat dishes. Recipe after recipe calls for marinating cuts of meat in flax oil before cooking - a very bad idea! For those who don't already know, you should NEVER cook with any type of polyunsaturated oil. Their high degree of unsaturation makes them extremely prone to oxidative damage, and this process is greatly multiplied by exposure to high temperatures (e.g cooking temeratures). Omega-3 fats, like those found in flax oil, are the most vulnerable polyunsaturates of all. When eaten, these 'healthy' fats trigger a chain-reaction of nasty free-radical activity in the body, leaving one open to the development of all sorts of degenerative ailments. Cordain should be well aware that liquid vegetable oils simply did not exist back in paleotlithic times.
Cordain also denigrates saturated fat in his book, which once again is rather pitiful considering his background. The anti-saturated fat doctrine is a product of agenda-driven 20th century researchers and beaureaucrats, eagerly supported by commercial interests and their cheerleading squad of ignorant nutritionists, health authorities, and authors. Cordain claims that a single experiment where saturated fat raised cholesterol levels in young men is proof that this fat is bad. Big deal! Such an assertion assumes that the cholesterol theory of heart disease is a valid one. Considering the numerous absurdities inherent in the cholesterol theory, that is a rather risky leap of faith. Hunter-gatherers ate lots of animal fat, which is around 50% saturated. And no, just because an animal is wild does not mean it is low in fat - I had the pleasure of sampling some camel steak last week, and you can be sure I enjoyed every bit of the backstrap fat covering the steak! Even the leanest animals have fatty portions of meat, and if observations of recent hunter-gatherer societies are anything to go by, these would have been the most valued and preferentially eaten cuts.
Cordain also jumps on the anti-low carb bandwagon, even though his own research shows hunter-gatherers were far more likely to consume a low carb diet than a high carb diet. In fact paleo nutrition, with its emphasis on animal foods and starch poor plant foods, and low carb nutrition are a perfect match.
The whole book reeks of an attempt to squeeze paleolithic nutrition into currently fashionable and politically correct guidelines. Only problem is, back in the stone-age there weren't any pompous cholesterol researchers who thought they knew better than mother nature, and there were no advertising campaigns to let people know of the 'heinous' health effects of saturated fat - so people ate it, and lots of it!
Paleo eating is still the ultimate nutrition in my opinion. It is the only eating plan that cannot even begin to be accused of being a 'fad'. Subsistence patterns that dominated for over two million years can hardly be considered a fad. Cordain's book does contain some useful info, but Neanderthin by Ray Audette is a far better, and cheaper, book on paleolithic nutrition. Buy that instead.
The Cholesterol Myths: Exposing the Fallacy that Saturated Fat and Cholesterol Cause Heart Disease

This review is from:
The Cholesterol Myths: Exposing the Fallacy that Saturated Fat and Cholesterol Cause Heart Disease (Paperback)
The lipid hypothesis of heart disease claims that elevated serum cholesterol levels cause heart disease, and it is dietary cholesterol and saturated fat that elevate serum cholesterol. Therefore, claim the lipid theorists, dietary cholesterol and saturated fat cause heart disease. Never mind that saturated fat and cholesterol have been an integral part of the human diet since time immemorial, and that the modern spread of heart disease correlates far more closely with the increasing consumption of refined carbohydrates and polyunsaturated vegetable-source fats...
The lipid hypothesists also claims that high HDL levels and low LDL levls are protective against heart disease, that cholesterol reductions are favourable in the majority of the population, and that cholesterol-lowering drug therapy should be used when dietary intervention fails to lower cholesterol levels.
Ravnskov systematically destroys all these myths and more in this landmark book, highlighting the numerous contradictons, inconsistencies, and outright lies inherent in the cholesterol theory of heart disease.
This book should be mandatory reading for all cholesterol researchers and medical practitioners. However, thanks to the influence of the 'Cholesterol Cartel', most of these individuals will continue to remain blissfully unaware of the true facts surrounding the lipid hypothesis. Individuals wanting to learn the real facts will therefore have to educate themselves, and Ravnskov's book is an excellent place to start.
I can't recommend this book highly enough! I would also STRONGLY recommend "The Cholesterol Conspiracy" by Russell L. Smith, Ph.D, published by Warren H. Green (Ravnskov makes mention of Smith's work in his book), a condensed version of an extensive 2 volume review by Smith of the lipid hypothesis. This book is truly outstanding, and leaves one shaking their head at how such a ludicrous, contradictory, fanciful theory ever became such an embedded feature of modern medicine. Unfortunately Amazon does not sell this one, the only source I know of is direct from the publisher.
Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution

DANGER - from misinformed critics!
June 15 2002
This review is from:
Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution (Paperback)
Much has been said about the heart attack that afflicted Atkins earlier this year. Low fat advocates enthusiastically rushed to pin the blame on his dietary philosophies, but Atkins suffered from cardiac arrest due to cardiomyopathy, initiated by an infection that spread to his heart muscle. It was not diet-related - coronary blockage was not an issue.
Even Dr. Clyde Yancy, a cardiologist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and a member of the American Heart Association's national board of directors, was qouted on CNN.com as saying "Despite the obvious irony, I believe there is a total disconnect between the cardiac arrest and the health approach he (Atkins) popularizes."
It is interesting to see how low fat advocates are happy to jump all over Atkins, but are conspicuously silent when it comes to recalling the fate of 80's anti-fat guru Nathan Pritikin. If we are going to judge diet plans by the health of their individual authors, consider the following. While Atkins is still going at 72, Pritikin committed suicide in his mid 60's to end the suffering he was experiencing from terminal cancer. Knowing how important fat is for proper immune function it is not unreasonable to suspect a link between Pritikin's low fat diet and his cancer. Of course there could be another explanation, and we should let Pritikin rest. I just wish these individuals would give Atkins the same basic courtesy. A dietary plan should be judged on its own scientific merits, not on the personality or health status of its author.
As far as the notion that high saturated fat diets cause heart disease, when one actually looks carefully at the evidence, instead of taking in good faith the edicts of health authorities, mainstream nutritionists, food companies and cholesterol drug manufacturers, one rapidly begins to see a picture very different from what is commonly portrayed. A full dissertation on the numerous fallacies inherent in the saturated fat/cholesterol theory of heart disease is beyond the scope of a short review - I would highly recommend Uffe Ravnskov's "The Cholesterol Myths. Exposing The Fallacy That Saturated Fat And Cholesterol Cause Heart Disease" for this purpose.
Just consider though, that foods containing saturated fat and cholesterol have been a part of the human diet for literally millions of years. Heart disease itself though, was hardly known at the beginning of the 20th century. Several decades later it had grown to be the leading cause of death in most modernized nations. Consider also that heart disease, in fact degenerative disease in general, appears to be a product of modernization. Primitive peoples eating a diet consisting entirely of fresh, natural whole foods, have remained largely free of CHD and other degenerative ailments common in more advanced areas. For example, in the 1960's Professor George Mann studied the Masai tribespeople in Kenya. The Masai eat copious amounts of high fat milk, meat and blood yet are a slim people free from heart disease. When a society begins to advance it often adopts a number of dietary and lifestyle changes that are conducive to increased illness. In fact it is these changes, not saturated fat and cholesterol consumption, that correspond with the 20th century rise in heart dsiease. To single out saturated fat and cholesterol from all these variables as being responsible for the recent rise in disease when we have been consuming them for so long is pure junk science.
There are numerous studies showing superior weight loss on low carb diets. A recent study by Yancy et al, compared the American Heart Association's low-fat " Step 1" Diet with a low-carbohydrate diet similar to the Atkins Diet. The low-carbohydrate group experienced greater fat loss, dropping an average of 21.4 pounds of fat, compared to 14 pounds on the low-fat group.
I have a great deal of respect for Atkins and his efforts to popularise low-carb nutrition.
My preferred approach to low-carb nutrition, however, is to utilise 'Paleolithic' food choices when consuming such a diet. Instead of sausages and burgers, I prefer grass-fed beef, which has a superior fatty-acid profile to grain-fed beef. Neanderthin by Ray Audette is a great, easy-to-read book on Paleo eating.
The diet Atkins recommends to kick-start weight loss, where carbs are kept below 20g a day, is a ketogenic diet. In my experince, when people go on a ketogenic diet one of two things will happen.
After a few days on the diet, they will either feel vast improvements in energy and mental clarity, or they will suffer from various levels of lethargy and mental fog.
If you are one of the people that suffers from decreased energy on a ketogenic diet, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater! The answer may be as simple as slightly upping your carb intake, similar to what is recommended in Life Without Bread, another great low carb book. In LWB one is advised to consume 72g carbs per day. Suddenly cutting out all carbs as in the induction phase of Atkins appears to be too much for some people (including myself). Just gradually taper down your carb intake if you fall into this category.
Atkins book is a great source of info on the benefits of reducing carb intake, so I still give it 4 stars. It should be read by anyone serious about learning all they can about low-carb nutrition, even if it is not the low-carb protocol that they end up adopting.
I would recommend one reads a variety of books on low-carb nutrition, which will expose one to a variety of approaches. This will allow one both to formulate an approach that suits them best, and, as a bonus, avoid becoming a hysterical, emotional anti-low-carb critic.

A handy guide to rational and rewarding living!

This review is from:
Looking Out for #1 (Mass Market Paperback)
Some people might misinterpret the title of this book as`How To Screw People And Get Away With It',but nothing could be further from the truth! Robert shows how being an independent-thinking person who strives to fulfill his own rational self-interest not only leads to a more rewarding life but makes you less of a burden on those around you.Author and philosopher Ayn Rand,who Ringer lists as a source of inspiration,demonstrated the concept of rational self-interest through her fictional heroes-noble,dignified,purposeful characters such as Jon Galt and Howard Roark in `Atlas Shrugged' and `The Fountainhead'.In `Looking Out For No.1',Ringer provides an effective, down-to-earth,practical guide for enacting this concept in real-life.An entertaining read,Ringer provides many examples from his personal experience,some of which are quite humorous.Many of the characters he lists in the section on the `People Hurdle' will no doubt sound familiar to most readers.I enjoyed this one so much I have ordered two more of Robert's books!

NeanderThin: Eat Like a Caveman to Achieve a Lean, Strong, Healthy Body

The Diet Your Body Was Designed To Eat!

This review is from:
NeanderThin: Eat Like a Caveman to Achieve a Lean, Strong, Healthy Body (Mass Market Paperback)
I have read several low-carbohydrate diet books and consider Ray Audette's `Neanderthin' to be the best so far. While I still recommend reading `Protein Power' and `The Atkins Diet Revolution' for their enlightening discourse on the dangers of excess insulin release, I particularly enjoyed Audette's line of argument. He argues his case based on man's evolutionary development. The book is based on the simple, logical premise that the human body will function best on the diet it was designed to eat - the same diet that man spent the greatest part of his evolutionary history consuming.
Unlike many low-carbohydrate diet plans that allow liberal consumption of sausages, bacon, and other additive-laden products, `Neanderthin' places an emphasis on game and grass-fed meats, and if these aren't available, lean cuts from the supermarket. I feel Audette's approach is the healthiest of the popular low-carb diets. Having ditched the nonsensical high-carbohydrate approach to nutrition years ago, I have noticed nothing but improvements in my well-being and energy levels, and I wholeheartedly recommend low carbohydrate nutrition to anyone seeking the best of health. `Neanderthin' is a great book to start with.
The only criticism I would have is his insistence that dietary supplements are unnecessary. The evidence of benefits for supplements like antioxidants and fish oils is quite compelling. Many of us have to contend with factors that were not an issue for the hunter-gatherers like pollution, unnatural stress patterns, etc. These cause strain on our body's reserves and may well justify the taking of a liitle something extra, i.e. vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements. Many of us who have already spent way too long on poor diets may also need levels of certain nutrients beyond what is derived from food alone.
Apart from this, Neanderthin is a great book and a must read!

Thank you Wacky_Dragon.
Maybe black should play 2...Nd7, only losing a pawn, or is it worse than that for black? Also maybe black shouldn't play 4...Bxe4, and again only lose a pawn.

text: Posted June 10, 2013 Nobody said to stink for another 5 years..... We need to keep our pick this year stink for 1 more year. that way we have a core or Kemba MKG Jeff Taylor Biz #4 pick our Top 5 pick Future Pistons Pick (Top 8 Protected next year, top 2 in 2015, unprotected in 2016) Future PDX Pick (Heavily restricted for 3 years) then we can go bat poo crazy and sign or trade for whoever we can but, to lose 2 top picks and all cap flexibility for Chris Bosh is insane. Additionally the team has sold over $1.5 M in tickets since the name change announcement. Lots of people (myself included) have already purchased tickets for the 2014-2015 Hornets season- so a bad record next year isn't the end of the world because the team will be given a hall pass... the 2014-2015 season is really the season we should be shooting for to make our run. To Carolina Chuck's point... The reason people would prefer us sign Al Jefferson is because it doesn't cost us a top 5 pick in addition to a max contract. Bosh is most likely the better player at this point than Al Jefferson but, he isn't better than Al Jefferson + a top 5 pick. I prefer we conserve the cap space this summer in order to take advantage of the teams that will unload good players plus picks to avoid the luxury tax... Cleveland was able to pick up Maresse Speights and a 1st round pick because they had cap space..... Cap space is sooooo important in the new CBA.The thing is I'm saying is Bosh and Jefferson both will bring us the same amount of win or loss. Bosh is not going to win us 15 more games than Jefferson. I rather be an 8 seed Playoffs or Top5 pick team with Bosh than Jefferson. We are not going to make the Playoffs with Bosh and be a Top5 team with Jefferson. People are just dumb. They whined about having a franchise player and when the oppurtunity is there they say "no, thank you". It's like the unemployed workers crying about Mexican taking over jobs but when the job is there for taking they refuse it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mourinho issued a statement on Madrid's website on Tuesday, but made a point to direct his words only toward Madrid fans.
"(I) wish to apologise to Madridistas, and only to them, for my attitude in our last game," Mourinho said. "Some people are better adapted to the hypocrisy in football than I am, and they hide their faces and speak in whispers deep inside tunnels.
"I'm not learning to be a hypocrite, and I don't want to."
The Spanish football federation opened disciplinary proceedings against Barcelona and Madrid on Tuesday, six days after Barcelona won the trophy in a match marred by an ugly finale punctuated by Mourinho's actions.
Mourinho walked toward Barcelona assistant coach Tito Vilanova and appeared to poke him in the eye during the onfield melee between both benches.
Under rules 98 and 100 of the federation disciplinary code, the Portuguese coach could be banned between four to 12 games while Vilanova - whose actions are being investigated under articles 111 and 122 - could be sanctioned for four games after retaliating with a push.
Mourinho also sought to dismiss reports in Spain that he may seek to leave the club, after his spokesman Eladio Parames reportedly told Canal Plus TV that "he doesn't feel embraced by the club directors."
Parames subsequently denied the remark and said Mourinho was "happy" at Madrid and looking to see out his deal, which runs to 2014.
Mourinho said his exit was "impossible."
"Only those who don't know me can dream, make up or believe I may leave Real Madrid at this stage," Mourinho said in the statement. "There is no way I'm leaving. No way!"
Mourinho's actions at the Camp Nou seem to have been a result of the obvious tension between the bitter rivals, who have played six times since April.
The altercation came when both benches cleared onto the field following Madrid defender Marcelo's ugly challenge on Cesc Fabregas just before injury time.
Marcelo and team-mate Mesut Ozil and Barcelona striker David Villa were all subsequently shown red cards and were all given one-game bans by the federation on Tuesday.
The clubs have 10 days to present their cases.
Barcelona won the match at the Camp Nou 3-2 and the two-legged series 5-4 for their 10th Supercup.

Dolphins owner says stadium will be ready for preseason finale
While the Dolphins' co-tenants in their refurbished stadium have made backup plans for September, the Dolphins are going to operate without a net.
Owner Steve Ross met with reporters Friday morning, and said the $500 million renovation project may have been more extensive and complex than he imagined, but that he planned to play the team's preseason finale there.
"I know we will be playing Sept. 1," Ross said, via Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald. "There."
And while he admitted having some concerns about the pace of the project in the past, he added: "I don't feel them today. There is no backup plan."
Earlier this month, the Miami Hurricanes admitted they were lining up a Plan B for their Sept. 3 regular season opener. The Dolphins and/or the league shifted their Week Three preseason game to Orlando, in part as a dry run for the Pro Bowl game being held there.
The Dolphins open the regular season with two games on the road and don't play at home until Sept. 25, giving them plenty of buffer in case the project hadn't gone as planned.
Ross also said the tests they've done show the canopy being installed over the seating area drops the temperature by 31 degrees, a bit of shade Dolphins fans should enjoy.
Bruce Arians: We expect to do better this season
The Cardinals had a strong season in 2015 as they passed the Seahawks for the NFC West title and then held off the Packers in the playoffs to earn a spot in the NFC title game.
Things didn't go so well for the Cardinals in Carolina, but the team returns most of the key parts of last year's team and has made additions to a couple of weak spots that could make for a deeper team. That would explain why coach Bruce Arians believes that anything short of a Super Bowl win will be an unacceptable end for the 2016 season.
"When you have the type of season we had, you expect to do better," Arians said, via ESPN.com. "So, we got to do better. We got to get back to where we were first and then do better."
The Cardinals have built up a formidable roster over the first three years with Arians and General Manager Steve Keim pulling the strings and the team's enjoyed success on the field as a result. Failing to take the final step this year wouldn't invalidate that work, but there are only so many bites at the apple before time and contracts force that roster to be reworked.
Emmanuel Sanders: "I'm not trying to break the bank"
Money isn't always easy for Broncos players to come by.
But wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders — who is the next man up on the team's extension list — said yesterday he's not trying to take it all.
As history has shown, that's a reasonable expectation when dealing with John Elway, and Sanders said he's hoping the ongoing talks can reach an amicable conclusion.
"It's not frustrating. It's actually a blessing," Sanders said, via Nicki Jhabvala of the Denver Post. "We're talking millions and millions of dollars that I can earn just by the game that I love. At the end of the day, I'm looking forward to it, but I know you guys want to know the answers to that, where are we at.
"We're trying to find that middle ground of saying, you know what, this is a fair deal for me and for the Denver Broncos. I said it from Day One — I'm not trying to break the bank. I want to be here. But I also want a fair deal, and I want a fair deal for the production I've been putting out, so we'll see how it goes."
Sanders is entering the final year of the deal he signed in 2014, and is scheduled to make $5.6 million this season. But with recent contracts signed by Doug Baldwin and Allen Hurns and Keenan Allen, a player of his production appears underpaid.
Of course, with the Broncos, that's hardly reason to think a deal's going to happen, though the two sides are still talking.
Ron Rivera: Kelvin Benjamin in "pretty doggone good form"
It's been almost a year since Panthers wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin tore his ACL during a training camp practice and that was enough time filled with enough rehab that the team felt comfortable giving him the green light for the first practice of this year's camp.
Benjamin only did individual work during OTAs, but made several catches during team drills on Thursday. While it's early in the process and Benjamin has rust to knock off, Benjamin's work made a good impression on head coach Ron Rivera.
"It could be a good harbinger in terms of seeing Kelvin — I don't want to say in top form — but pretty doggone good form," Rivera said, via the Charlotte Observer. "He's still got a ways to go in terms of getting in game shape. But it's really good to see him moving around."
Benjamin's loss seemed like a bad harbinger for the Panthers last summer, although things played out in a much better fashion for the eventual NFC champions. Their success in his absence may mean that Benjamin will be targeted less frequently than the 145 throws he saw as a rookie, but his return to health would be a boost to Carolina's chances at repeating their success from last season.

Eagles sign Darren Sproles to one-year extension
There was a point this offseason when people wondered if the Eagles might trade running back Darren Sproles as he stayed away from the team's offseason work, but coach Doug Pederson said during the team's minicamp that Sproles' "role will be extensive" this season.
It might be extensive next season as well because Sproles isn't going to be a free agent come March. The Eagles announced on Friday morning that they have signed Sproles to a contract extension that runs through the 2017 season. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports Sproles will make $4.5 million in 2017.
"Being one of the oldest guys, to know you're going to be here a little bit longer, that's a good feeling," Sproles said, via the team.
Sproles leads all NFL players in all-purpose yards since 2007 and has continued to be a jack of all trades since coming to the Eagles in a 2014 trade. Pederson's words suggest he'll be a runner, receiver and returner again this year as the Eagles move forward with a backfield that also includes Ryan Mathews and Wendell Smallwood.
Arian Foster to open Dolphins camp on the PUP list
Arian Foster's Dolphins debut is going to be a little later than expected.
The veteran running back was among a group of five players who will start training camp on the physically unable to perform list, the team announced.
Cornerbacks Xavien Howard and Bobby McCain, running back Damien Williams and linebacker Zach Vigil joined him on that list.
Foster was signed last week, after visiting a taking a physical. The fact they signed him suggested he was sufficiently recovered from last year's torn Achilles, and he said he was healthy and wanted to prove he was still a "pro Bowl-caliber player."
He may do that, but it's not going to be this weekend, apparently.
Isaiah Crowell: "I'm being accountable for my mistakes and I apologize"
The Browns have made it clear Isaiah Crowell is not going to be able to just apologize his way out of trouble.
But after posting and deleting an inflammatory image of a masked man stabbing a police officer in the neck (which came between police officers killing two men in Louisiana and Minnesota, but before the killings of five police officers in Dallas), Crowell continues to emphasize to whoever will listen that he's not going to be defined by his terrible social media mistake.
According to Dan Labbe of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Browns running back used at least five versions of "that's not who I am" during his press conference at the start of camp.
He's also issued a video apology, promised to donate his first game check to the Dallas Fallen Officer Foundation and attended the funeral of Patrick Zamarripa, one of the police officers who was killed in Dallas. He's also met with local police, trying to soothe feelings that are understandably raw.
"I feel like I have to prove [that's not who I am] every day," Crowell said. "I feel like I can shake it off and move on. My main focus is football and trying to be the best I can be for my teammates and coaches. I understand what's going on.
"I understand what's going on. I'm being accountable for my mistakes and I apologize."
Crowell has admitted at every juncture that the grisly image was wrong, but he also comes from a background which makes a certain distrust of police understandable. He said he's had friends and family members have "situations with police," but wasn't trying to justify his mistake either.
"I feel like that did have part of my emotions that day," he admitted. "But I feel like there's still no excuse for what happened and I apologize for it. . . .
"I want to be part of the solution and not the problem, and posting that picture I was part of the problem. I don't want to be that."
Those are the right words to say. More importantly, his actions since making his mistake indicate a genuine contrition, and will be the only way for Crowell to remain in the team's good graces.
Le'Veon Bell admits he has known since March of missed tests
When word first surfaced that Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell was facing a suspension for a missed drug test, Bell denied knowing anything about it. He was lying.
On Thursday, Bell admitted that the NFL notified him in March that he was facing discipline for a missed test. That contradicts what he said in June, when he claimed he had absolutely no knowledge of such discipline.
"I don't know what you are talking about," Bell said, two months after the NFL had informed him. "People are going to say what they want to say on the Internet. It is people who really have nothing to do. I don't get upset or let it bother me."
Mark Madden, the Pittsburgh radio host who tweeted in June that there was a "pretty strong rumor" Bell was facing a suspension for a missed test, writes today, "Le'Veon Bell lied."
That's exactly what Bell did, and it was foolish. He could have simply said, "The NFL's drug-testing policy is confidential, so I won't talk about it." Instead, he lied.
Shhhh, don't tell anybody, Julio Jones seems to be OK after practice injury
Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones wasn't able to finish the first practice of training camp with some degree of injury, but coach Dan Quinn said to trust him, everything was just fine.
According to Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com, Jones suffered a minor injury, and was seen on the sidelines stretching both legs to deal with the pain.
Quinn said it wasn't cramps, but wouldn't give any other information, saying: "I'm not going to disclose that. He'll be back in there tomorrow."
"We just held him out," Quinn said. "He had a little tweak, so we just decided to hold [him]. He'll likely be back in there for tomorrow. He could have gone back in today and was asking me to, but I decided not to."
The good news is that their best player is OK, but it's disappointing that another coach is already playing coy with information so early in camp. It's not a full-on John Fox/Kremlin approach, but it seems more difficult that it needs to be, considering the information is of major interest to his entire fanbase.
Koetter tells Bucs "the outside world doesn't know how good this team is going to be"
As the Buccaneers prepared to open camp, they received the perfunctory introductory speech from their first-year head coach. And while Dirk Koetter opted not to share publicly the remarks he privately delivered to his players, one of his players opted not to be quite as discreet.
"Dirk basically said we're striving for a championship around here and we've got some good, good players," tackle Demar Dotson said, via Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. "We've got a young group of good players and the outside world doesn't know how good this team is going to be. He stressed that we know it. It doesn't matter that they don't know it right now. We've got to keep building because we're not where we're supposed to be yet. But he said we're going to come out of that tunnel, Lord willing, when we play Atlanta [on September 11] and then we're going to show the world.''
The early reviews on Koetter's methods have been positive, at least as far as Dotson is concerned.
"Dirk has that player-coach feel, but you've got to respect him because he tells you what he wants and he demands it out of you," Dotson said. "But also he keeps it loose around here. Nobody is tight. You're not walking around here scared to do something. He lets you be a man, he lets you be a pro but he demands that respect from you."
The Buccaneers could be demanding respect from everyone, if in the first year with Koetter as coach and the second year with Jameis Winston as quarterback and the first year with Mike Smith as defensive coordinator it all comes together for a team that has struggled to be relevant for most of the current decade — and that hasn't been to the playoffs since 2007.
John Schneider: Seahawks will look at veteran backup QB options
Backup quarterback may be the biggest uncertainty for the Seattle Seahawks as training camp gets set to begin on Saturday.
For the first time since Russell Wilson won the starting job in 2012 over Tarvaris Jackson and Matt Flynn, the Seahawks don't have a veteran option sitting behind Wilson on the sidelines.
Undrafted rookie free agent Trevone Boykin and 2015 undrafted free agent Jake Heaps are the only two quarterbacks on the roster outside of Wilson. Jackson, who handled the duties for the last three years, likely won't be back after allegedly pulling a gun on his wife and being charged with aggravated assault.
While general manager John Schneider said that Boykin has done some nice things over the offseason since being signed in May, he also said the team would keep looking for quarterback options elsewhere as well.
"Yep, absolutely. And we do that with every position. We'll have one, two, three guys like on standby," Schneider said.
"I like all our players, I'm just never really one of those guys that's like, 'Yeah, we got this. We got this.' You know what I mean?" he added. "Pete's job is to instill confidence in people and he does a great job; it's one of his best attributes, making everybody feel great about themselves and instilling confidence in their abilities. My job is to be forward thinking and our staff – Dan (Morgan), Trent (Kirchner), Scott (Fitterer) – to be ready for what's coming next if it doesn't work out."
Schneider said he believes Boykin would have been a third- to a fifth-round pick if not for his legal troubles prior to the Alamo Bowl with TCU in December. He also said that he believes Boykin has handled the transition to becoming a professional well so far.
"Great athlete, tons of arm strength," Schneider said of Boykin. "I like the way he dialed himself in as a pro in that short period of time he was here, kind of studying and watching Russell and learning as much as he possible can. He started putting together some practices that were consistent all the way through instead of – he's a rookie, so that's why that's impressive."
However, that won't keep Seattle from seeing what else is available. The Seahawks reportedly put in a waiver claim on Connor Shaw earlier this month. As teams release veterans – like the Rams did by cutting Nick Foles on Wednesday – Seattle will likely be inquiring about potential fits as Wilson's backup.
Paul Posluszny believes Jaguars are most talented team he's been on
Paul Posluszny has been on a lot of bad football teams.
He's never experienced a winning season in nine years in the NFL. A pair of 7-9 teams in Buffalo are the best he's been a part of during his career.
Posluszny knows bad rosters when he sees them. That's why he's hopeful this year is different with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
According to Mike DiRocco of ESPN.com, Posluszny believes the 2016 Jaguars are the most talented team he's been a part of during his NFL career.
"I would definitely say so," Posluszny said Wednesday. "Especially with depth, the group that we have here is the most talented since I've been in Jacksonville, for sure. It's exciting because you say, 'Hey, we have guys that can be elite players at multiple positions.' It's been a long time since we've had that."
That bar isn't exactly a high one to clear. Jacksonville has won just 19 games in five seasons since Posluszny joined the team in 2011.
However, this iteration of the Jaguars seems far less anemic than in previous years. The offense showed it can move the football and score points with consistency last season and the defense has been bolstered by the additions of Malik Jackson, Tashaun Gipson, Prince Amukamara, Jalen Ramsey and Myles Jack.
Potential doesn't mean anything though unless it translates to wins and losses, but the Jaguars seem positioned to be much more capable of finding victories than they've been in nearly a decade.
Maybe even good enough for Posluszny to be a part of a winning team for the first time in his career.
Case Keenum not looking over his shoulder
On what coincidentally was the first day of the NFL draft in 1999, I ran a half marathon roughly 30 miles outside of Columbus, Ohio. Several hundred people showed up to trudge through neighborhoods and back roads. Five or six miles in to the 13.1-mile race, I came to a spot where it wasn't clear whether to turn right or keep going straight. Based on the markings on the road, it looked like I should turn right, but the lead pack(s) had gone straight.
So I decided to turn. And it quickly became obvious that roughly 50 people who had been in front of me had gone the wrong way. Which meant that, halfway through a half marathon, I was in first place.
I knew it wouldn't last. But I enjoyed it while it did. And I didn't bother to check behind me, because I knew that ultimately there was nothing I could do to hold off the guy who was going to win. (Along with plenty of others.)
I thought of that day for the first time in a long time after I saw this headline at ESPN.com: "Arriving at camp above Rams' depth chart, Case Keenum not looking over his shoulder."
There's no reason for Keenum to look over his shoulder. It's just a matter of time before he'll be passed by rookie first-rounder Jared Goff.
Sure, the Rams may try to make it look like Keenum has a chance to play most or all of the season, for the same reason they toyed with everyone for two-plus weeks before making it known that Goff would be the first overall pick. They also may want to give Goff a chance to build confidence by creating the impression that he actually accomplished something instead of having the starting job handed to him.
So enjoy the lead while you can, Case. Eventually, you'll be looking at the back of a blue jersey with "GOFF" in gold letters.
Chris Clemons tells Seahawks he's retiring
Veteran defensive end Chris Clemons has told the Seattle Seahawks he is retiring and will not be reporting to training camp on Friday.
Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network was the first to report that Clemons second tenure with Seattle was over before it really ever got started. The team confirmed Clemons had informed them of his retirement on Thursday night.
Seattle acquired Clemons from the Philadelphia Eagles in 2010 along with a fourth-round draft pick in exchange for defensive end Darryl Tapp. Clemons quickly became Seattle's most dominant pass rusher, recording 33.5 sacks over the next three seasons. Clemons became a salary cap casualty following the Seahawks win over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII before signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2014.
Clemons had 11 sacks in two seasons with the Jaguars before being released and re-signing with Seattle in April.
Clemons, 34, would have been fighting for a spot on the back-end of Seattle's roster. Cliff Avril, Michael Bennett and Frank Clark are the top three edge rushers for the Seahawks. Clemons would have been competing with younger players such as Cassius Marsh, Ryan Robinson and undrafted free agent signings David Perkins and Montese Overton.
Instead, Clemons has elected to call it a career. Despite not earning a starting role in the first six years of his career, Clemons still compiled 69 sacks in his 12-year career.
