Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,

Almost, at times, the Fool.

Dr Mrs Wombat likes the South Beach diet. Good recipes, loses weight, doesn't feel too deprived. I'm not sure if, say, eating a slice of bread or being in the same room as a potato is as big deal as the South Beachers claim. But it's not hard to be nutritionally sound on it.
The Atkins diet can be questioned. Not everybody thinks a ketogenic diet is a good idea.

I wish gas was cheap, then I could drive to south beach. Guess I'll have to eat my bacon local.
NASCAR is for Chevies.
ron: yeah, the South Beach theory is that some foods need to be avoided because they cause a response that raises blood sugar (glycemia), causing insulin secretion, which inhibits lipolysis (fat burning), making it harder to lose weight. Agatson is trying to explain the common experience that people find it hard to lose weight by mere calorie restriction. He may be right, and there isn't anything wrong with his diet. The recipes are even pretty good.
Most of the time, as any dietitian will tell you, people have trouble losing weight because they're eating a lot more calories thay they think they are, and not exercising enough. Some folks, like hypothyroiders, haava a specific problem, but they're in the minority.

Thanks for the link, res... I didn't know all those things about Nita Lowey. I like the comparisons you make. A nice post.
Tonight I went to my younger daughter's HS to see the "Broadway Revue" she and a friend conceived, produced, directed and appeared in.
I figured it would be fun. It was inspiring.
They did it all themselves, from selecting the songs (not a "High School Musical" number in the bunch) to casting (30 kids in the ensemble, and everyone was featured in some number), choreography (Hallie did the whole thing)... everything.
I've never seen her so happy and proud... not after Antigone, not after Kindertransport. The kids who performed didn't know anything about any of the music, most of them knew nothing about Broadway musicals at all. But they were amazingly good... I've seen a number of productions at this HS over the years and none of them approached the level of this one.
ron: I like the South Beach recipes too. They taste good, and are nutritionally sound.
Once was drafted to play 'Turn, Turn, Turn' on guitar with a pianist at a church service. Found out she could only play in C; I had it scoped out in G. She's a superb pianist and music teacher and like that; I'm at best a half-assed fingerpicker. But I could play it in C for her close to instantly, and she couldn't play it in G easily. Always wondered about that. She played Chopin to die for...

Piano is still taught is a very "rote" fashion, while guitar is very pictorial. Playing in a different key on guitar is easy because the relationships are smaller.

Improv in general used to be SOP for all musicians. It fell out of favor in the last century or so, mostly from a growing insistence on "fidelity to the score", which has its virtues but sadly ignores the study of performance practice. It seems to be coming back into favor, but several generations of otherwise great musicians are all the poorer for having missed out.

Yes, they are. These kids were so proud of themselves and each other. At the beginning it was a real struggle for Hallie to get them to take it seriously... even a week ago she wasn't sure how it was going to go.

good luck with that. The guitar is the hardest instrument to sight-read on, and if you don't do it all the time, it goes away real fast.

Sight reading is one of those things that's best learned by doing. I've developed it from years of playing for singers. OTOH it can be a pitfall. If you read well, the temptation is to rely on it at the expense of really internalizing the music.

Shit, I don't know. It's a mystery to me. I can play anything I hear on the guitar, any song I've heard all the way through I can play like I practiced it. Very weird. I had a solo gig today, 50th anniversary, and I ran out of ideas, so I did a medley of every Tom Jones tune I could think of, having only played the written orchestral rhtyhm guitar parts about a thousand years ago. It just comes out. Can't teach that, can't even learn it.

Interesting you're having this conversation. I just got back from playing a wedding. Bridge and groom were Chinese. I had to sing "I'll Melt With You".
ron: well, don't know where that comes from. Me, I have a lot of music in my head, and ever since I can remember there's always been music playing up there, all the time. It freaked me out when I realized most people aren't like that. I picked up a guitar, and found myself able almost right away to pick out Hot Tuna songs. Never took lessons; shoud have. I don't have anything like your natural ability, but I do love making music, even badly, and would probably love it even more were I good at it.

There was a slight Lampoon connection in the beginning - Michael O'Donoghue of course, and Chevy Chase and Belushi were in "Lemmings". Later, Chris Guest, who was also in "Lemmings".
Speaking of...
ronjazz, you hear about Oliver Sacks's last book? Apparently it's about how musical ability is linked to certain brain structures; I heard an interview where he talked about how a surgeon experienced brain trauma and when he recovered he heard piano music playing in his head, and so learned the piano in an amazingly short time and then started composing.

hey, it's bass, for god's sake. When I quit playing guitar in the 80s to dabble in management and production, I played bass for extra cash. Never, ever practiced. Ever.
Theres no need to make physical threats against Insane McCain, the old bastard already has 3 feet in the grave and will probably have a heart attack when Obama hands him his ass during their first debate.
"This is some trippy shit.

Things were like that in the 60s. Then we killed off all the mutated monsters and uber-villians and things got really cool.
pud seems unaware that the American taxpayers heavily fund al-Dawa party building operations in Iraq, along with providing support for ISCI.
I've played guitar for a really long time. Been in many bands. Couldn't stand performing, honestly. And it's hard to compromise musical styles with other members. These days, I use a program called Sony Acid to create some fun stuff - all on the PC.
So Donald Pleasance just got eaten by that amoeba in "Fantastic Voyage".
Never understood why his absorbed atoms - or the wreckage of the Proteus for that matter - didn't blow up back to their original size...

Here's one for Atrios:
This farming community on the eastern edge of the Bay Area absorbed an outsize portion of the region's growth during the prolonged housing and development boom, adding 40,000 residents in the past 16 years as subdivisions and strip malls overtook agricultural land. It regularly ranked among the state's fastest-growing cities. Now, Brentwood is suffering disproportionately from the bust.
Hundreds of families have lost their homes to foreclosure since the beginning of last year, and in a sign of more to come, at least 1 out of every 16 households has received default notices.
For the neighbors left behind, the dreams of the pretty, tight-knit community that lured many there in the first place have dissolved.
In new neighborhoods, "Foreclosure," "For sale" and "For rent" signs dot the streets, weeds sprout and newspapers pile up at empty homes as new residents cycle in and out. In projects halted by the downturn, handfuls of houses stand alone amid acres of dirt. Promised parks and community centers remain unfinished or fenced in...
But were they hard, hard working white people?

(actually, Bend is one of the fastest growing counties in the country and is a vacation paradise with skiing, fishing boating, hiking, etc. Lots of vacation homes, etc. As a result, they have big fights at city council over growth and more. Once the californians arrive, they want to wall up the border and get all righteous about growth. Pretty funny. The area is also home to the Warm Springs reservation, and there are many farms.)

He was right about Iron Man, wrong about My Morning Jacket. I found them boring.
Bend is one of the fastest growing counties in the country and is a vacation paradise with skiing, fishing boating, hiking, etc.
I was in Bend about 28 years ago, as part of a little driving tour of Oregon. Nice little town. On a Friday night, we went to the local theatre to see the new movie that was opening. The place was about half full. Admission was cheaper than movies in San Jose (where I was living). They even showed a cartoon! The movie was pretty good, too.
A couple of days later, we were back in San Jose and drove by one of the local theatres where the same movie was playing. "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and the lines spilled out into the street...

Well, strats have a longer scale, so they have better intonation from the jump. But the hardware is shit, so replacing the tuners and bridge makes it tuneable. gibson short-scales need to be tweaked to within an inch of their lives to get close, but the hardware is good. At least now. Long-scale Gibsons, like the L5, are really in tune.
Yep. There's a harrowing drowning scene in that...

MP, for some reason after I read your comment I thought of Angus Young wearing his beanie hat with horns and his SG.
The perceived Iranian intransigence coupled with the Lebanese situation convinced the White House that some sort of unambiguous signal has to be sent to the Iranian leadership, presumably in the form of cruise missiles. It is to be presumed that the attack will be as “pinpoint” and limited as possible, intended to target only al-Qods and avoid civilian casualties. The decision to proceed with plans for an attack is not final. The President will still have to give the order to launch after all preparations are made.

I just realized they were doing it. Seems strange.
About as strange as I was driving through one of our snootier, upper crust neighborhoods yesterday I saw a business with a large sign on a building advertising Colon Hydrotherapy. A few years ago they would have run the place out.
Word in the family is a great uncle of mine had the orignal hatchet George Washington used to cut down the cherry tree. Only the handle and the head had been replaced.
'Bout ready to be the human analogue of that hatchet. Full body transplant followed by a brain transplant and I'm good to go.

the creaking joints

I'm not sure why I'm still awake at this hour of the night. Just wanted to check in, my internets have been on the blink today. Horrible storm last night. Cable in and out. Just wanted to make sure I'm still alive, I guess.
EkCenTrik, colonics are commonplace throughout certain areas of L.A.
Though I think the drive thru high colonic is an urban myth.

Sallyh, A huge oak tree, probably around a hundred years old fell in our backyard. If it would have fall 30 ft. to the left, it would have taken out our house. As it is, it took out at least five other trees in its path. So sad. Wiped out a Christmas white pine we planted 18 years ago.

Yes! The lead guitarist doubles as McCains pool boy.
Actually having a super-old super-delusional super-Republican in the White House would be pretty damn familiar to those of us who grew up in the Eighties...

It's even worse for those of us who came of age in the 60's ... the study in contrast is still shocking.
annie, go get your gun...and use it.
One day at a time.

That's incredibly great to hear. I would miss you terribly if you didn't post here, at least.

Gilly, what dose did they start you at?
Usually its 100 or 150 mg/day. It's a drug that needs titrating upwards for your body to get used to it.

hey Gilly, been on for a long while but they just upped my dose and first time I've ever had those dreams.
They are a trip aren't they?
Anime on Adult Swim is pretty high right now. Death Note is bugnuts upon bugnuts, but this current psychopathic Gainax-looking thing (about an occupied Japan prevented from enjoying its "rights" by an Anglo-American "Britannian" empire that conquered it after an island hopping campaign across the Pacific was capped off with a horrific superweapon that devastated the Japanese forces, hmm, where would they have gotten ideas along those lines...) is like what the child of a Black Van Crew would come up with.

I know why Missus X keeps you around--she may roll her eyes a lot, but she knows a good deal when she's got one. And she's probably got the enigmatic smile to match.
In what way is Steve's using of the stigma and hatred of transexuals to insult a woman he doesn't like an intellectual exercise?

Oh, now you're stretching way past your capabilities in trying to mount an argument that even you must know is ludicrous. You know perfectly well that's not what he's doing.
It's exactly what he is doing and what he encourages others icluding yourself to do.
Didn't the nurses give you looks of sympathy when she was born?
Sallyh, Grandmere Poissonniere
Yes indeed they did, and anyone with a brain feels sorry for us to this day. She's something. Literally.

Yep, can't have a strong-ish female character without at least metaphorical bukkake. And of course you then need to shower, and wear the boy's clothes until you get home and can change and shower again...
I know nothing. What is Wellbutrin?
Mister X, well, she does appear to be a force of nature.
Imagine her as a teenager
mer, antidepressant, non SSRI.

100 mg. Now I'm at 300 mg. I definitely feel better, it's just the dreams which freak me out.
Gilly, they might try coupling it with some Lexapro or Cymbalta--that might make the dreams less wacky.
Back atcha!
MissusX is obviously a great person, as I try to let her know often.

I'm quite capable of thinking for myself, and I need no encouragement, either from him or anyone else. Only someone who cannot have an original thought would come to that conclusion. He has created a catch phrase that I think is funny and useful, and so I borrow it once in a while.
MisterX, she's a lucky woman indeed..
Gilly Gonzylon, what kind of dreams? Do they wake you up?
Imagine her as a teenager
Sallyh, Grandmere Poissonniere
We're braced for that eventuality, and are actually looking forward to it because there's nothing else we can do...

Yeah, I'll let the doc know when I see him next. Wellbutrin is pretty cool in that it doesn't promote weight gain and kills the libido.

yes, you are correct -texas aggies are assholes.
Gilly, as i have bipolar disorder, I've never taken Wellbutrin. Anticonvulsants, even when one is taking three of them, don't seem to have that effect.

Vivid, technicolor dreams of a fight I had where I was in the middle of a circle of religious people and I had to defend Atheism. That was last night.
Catch phrase? He and you, are continually insulting to me, using terms that you seem to find humorous to use as an insult, terms that I am sure have been shouted into the faces of human beings as they are being stomped into the ground by hate filled thugs.
Steve chose the wording, you choose to use it.
I am not engaged by you, you only ever speak to me to call me a "trannie", that is your ony purpose it seems.
Catch phrase. Maybe you can sell it at Stormfront.
Gilly, my last Welbutrin dream was that my bathroom was full of icky critters- snakes, scorpions, mice, crabs, and one big turtle. It was incredibly vivid.

HA!
I read that as witless protection program, which made me feel good...
I can do that.

Virgotex, that's one messy bathroom.

I love comix too!
Worst dreams I ever had were when I was taking Chantix. Horrible stuff.
usually, they aren't that creepy, just incredibly detailed and cinematic. Very realistic.
As you well know.

Oh dear, sorry I asked. I dream in technicolor, but it's more of a James Bond thriller, not religious people.
Best to you.
We were going to ask what the fuck Arnie was talking about and then we thought, fuck Arnie, that's what killfile is for.
more proof that WVWV is in no way, shape or form using voter suppression tactics:
Page Gardner, president of the women's organization, said in a letter that:
"West Virginia residents will receive this mail after the deadline for registering to vote to participate in the upcoming primary election. Please be aware that the mailing is not intended to encourage registration specifically for the primary, but simply to encourage voter registration in general.
The mailing clearly indicates that the deadline to register to vote by mail for a particular election in West Virginia is 20 days before the election ... We hope that this unfortunate coincidence in timing does not lead to any confusion or aggravation for either your state's voters or registrars."
a coincidence, like the coincidences in Wisconsin, Virginia, North Carolina, and now West Virginia. in all, WVWV has NOT been suppressing the vote in over a dozen states this cycle. Good work, WVWV, please keep up the excellent job NOT suppressing the vote in Democratic primaries.
" Horrible stuff. "
Did you finish the process or did they take you off of it.
A few days on and I took myself off. Weirdest thing I have ever taken.
I love comix too!

It would be cool if you could control the content. But I've never had those dreams where you wake up laughing, or just had sex with Angelina Jolie, or you can fly.
EkCenTrik, I was almost psychotic on the drug. I took myself off of it after 2 weeks. I was totally going mental.
wtf is butler going on abvout now? or should I even ask?

Mrs. Ibrahim, just the usual, imagining Simels has wet dreams about him.
How are the little ones?
But I've never had those dreams where you wake up laughing, or just had sex with Angelina Jolie, or you can fly.

Have 'em all the time..
Not to be a downer, but when I dream, most of my dreams are horrible, which is why I try not to sleep.
-MisterX
sallyh
sleeping right now, but the whole house has the bug D is carrying. not a fun weekend. we've been trading naps, as I am on the late shift.
Not to be a downer, but when I dream, most of my dreams are horrible, which is why I try not to sleep
I've had those, too.
I'm out, and as Simels says, I love you guys and gals more than food. Nite.
Sally,
That was my experience. In my case I felt like I was slipping behind myself, watching someone drive. I had no warnings or comments from the doctor. I was interested in another go at cessation and he just plopped it on me.
I had no clue what the rep was until I started researching after a few days on.
BOOMTUBE!

Mister X--widespread nightmares: yet another side effect of the Bush Regime.
EkCenTrik, it triggered a manic attack that finally culminated in my trying to bump myself off 7 weeks back.
Since then, I've had my meds changed, but no way in hell would I touch it again.
I've had very vivid dreams in which I had incredible sex with multiple women, I've flown through the universe, and on earth, I've composed music and lyrics, and have woken myself up laughing hysterically at some crazy shit I just thought up. I've also woken up in a cold sweat, with pervasive feelings of horror and oncoming doom.
Mister X--widespread nightmares: yet another side effect of the Bush Regime.
Sallyh, Grandmere Poissonniere
Indeed.
I only learned a year or so ago that OpaX never gets a good night's sleep in all his years, waking up every hour or so... I thought it was just me!

Mrs. Ibrahim, parenting is harder than one imagines before experiencing it.
Thanks Duane, elephant dick would be the better choice being that it is the GOP logo.

I know it won't happen, but let's face it, her parents are pretty messed up.
