  1. Good luck! You might consider doing something semi-radical (like I did) for the initial weight loss (like medical supervision and Opti- or Medi- fast), you've already committed to going at least a month not eating the foods you enjoy, just say fuck it, there's nothing I can't do without eating for the next 6 weeks to 3 months and drink your meals from a box instead! The 5-10 pounds a week make it well worth it! And it's the easiest possible diet for a bachelor living alone! No cooking, no need to have any food in the house, let laziness work for you... "I have the mix/juicebox right here or I have to go out to get something bad for me..."! It wasn't even awkward to just have them for lunch at work, my co-workers understood and were very supportive. That gives you a huge jump and makes it much easier to exercise and also to *enjoy* food again--even in moderation. After that, 4-hour body/slow carb isn't quite the magic it's made out to be but is damn good maintenance / slow loss plan. Again, best of luck and all the encouragement in the world!
  2. The more I think about Willard the more I think he's the one that deserves the name Slick Willy! He's a walking, glad-handing greaseball who's only core belief seems to be "money is good". Oh, and "I deserve to be President".
  3. I keep telling myself maybe the dems aren't as ineffective with their advertising as it would appear, I just don't see any of it in this non-swing state... But I really have my doubts. Showing something like that in every incumbent republican's congressional district would be a great use of a SuperPAC...
  4. Jane Lynch's 'Best New Thing' Is GOP Strategist's Gay Memo: VIDEO Jane Lynch filled in for Rachel Maddow during the MSNBC host's "Best New Thing In The World" segment last night. And the out actress was kind enough to bring along her own new thing suggestion: the memo from former Bush pollster Jan van Lohuizen advising Republicans to catch up on LGBT rights by presenting equality as a conservative value. According to Lynch, the memo has the potential to create some jobs, another conservative value, because strategists can now charge more money for their gay expertise. "There's money to be made on promoting gay rights within the Republican Party," she said. Someone is going to have to teach Republicans to talk about gay rights without seeming like they've caved to the Democrats. Some strategists are going to have to make it their specialty to teach Republicans how do be pro gay while still sounding angry. That's a very tall order, but the good news is, you can charge more money. Republicans are trying to figure out how to lose gracefully -- the best new thing in the world today. Lynch later tells Maddow that she's not sure Obama's equality proclamation will "change history," or whether there was "political calculus" involved, but "believes in the dignity of our relationships and our right to exist." And the actress also discusses the importance of being out and about with her family, Joe Biden's comment about Will and Grace changing American culture and had this to say about Mitt Romney's right-wing gay politics: "Even us talking together right now, he's probably against that." Maddow replied: "That's exactly right. It`s probably illegal somewhere, and he supports that state`s right to make it that way."

    Call Me Maybe

    Damn the guy in first video is hot, and the twist rocks!
  6. Well, at least they provided the perfect counter-argument to *their* assertions they were in fact already over-regulated and nothing more was needed!!!
  7. That's weird, my tastes are exactly opposite, he looks average/bland in the top pic to me, the second one shows something worth a second look!
  8. Thanks for the advance warning! Now where did I put those earplugs?
  9. Ok, I wonder if something is up with that list? Otherwise there's been a major change of heart at NBC because in addition to Parks and Rec I'd heard 30 Rock and Community were goners as well!
  10. I've been watching The Finder, it's been vaguely amusing at best. House seems to be going out of their way to jump the shark in their last season, not sure I'll watch anymore. Only other things I've seen on this canceled list are Pan Am and Alcatraz, good riddance to both! Thought I heard Touch was gone... too bad. That and Once Upon a Time lost me at about 2 episodes each. I'd heard Parks and Rec was canned...? I'm also a fan of Castle.
  11. Had you worried there, didn't I? ;o) ONLY about 1190 more needed to hit the magic number! ;o/
  12. Yep, a Mormon nattering on about the sanctity of marriage is *almost* as hypocritical as all the other conservatives with multiple divorces...
  13. That is the biggest problem. There's nothing that will make you lose weight if you haven't gotten to a point in your life where you are determined to do it, no excuses. Some people never hit that point. All you can do is push/shove them in the right direction. Paying for somebody you care for to get bypass is a baaad idea. Something more like you'll reimburse them 33% a year for 3 years if they continue to improve their health is a much better idea. Or once they get healthy you'll pay for the excess skin removal--wish I had somebody to do that for me!
  14. Yeah, people doing risky behaviors could benefit, except the likelihood of them paying that price *and* remembering to take it daily are net to nothing. Now, for somebody in a relationship with somebdy po
  15. There's a lot to be said for the many positive effects of a healthy meal and a good workout in the morning! Make yourself do it every other day, start slow, you'll improve! I barely made it to rowing 500m and couldn't jog/run continuously for 3 minutes when I started, am now able to go 10X those numbers and do many other things I couldn't imagine doing before! Now, I swear I have more energy when I get up early and hit the gym than when I just roll over and sleep all morning!
  16. And I'm rounding the corner on 1500 posts!
  17. Overall I agree, but at the same time, pills like Alli help some and are likely to get better (and are great for the drug manufacturers because they're more a continuous helping hand than a cure). There's also research into changing the intestinal flora. Just like quitting smoking it can be a combination of techniques that help somebody get healthy--as long as they have the core drive to do it. When they don't, it's not likely anything can help them, as all the people who've eaten around lap-band or bypass surgery show.
  18. And if that doesn't turn your stomach... Scenes From OctoMom's Porn Shoot Personally, I preferred this depiction of same:
  19. dlisted looks to have all the details, if you have a strong stomach...
  20. It's official! San Diego is First City in Nation to Name Street for Harvey Milk After Unanimous City Council Vote The San Diego City Council has voted unanimously to name a street after Harvey Milk, the Union Tribune reports: The two-block road leading up to the San Diego LGBT Community Center in Hillcrest will be changed from Blaine Avenue to Harvey Milk Street in honor of the late San Francisco supervisor, the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California. “This is a great day of pride for our community, our district and this city,” said Councilman Todd Gloria, who represents the Hillcrest area and is openly gay. Councilwoman Lorie Zapf joined the unanimous vote, despite past comments critical of homosexuality. She once called it a sin and that gays should not be allowed to hold public office. She has apologized for what she said during her 2010 campaign. The street signs will be changed by May 22, what would have been Milk's 82nd birthday.

  21. I want one of those! (The t-shirt, not the twink, though now that you mention it...)
  22. And yet our tax dollars still subsidize corn being made into corn syrup... Still, there's far more info out there on ways to become healthy now and more and more are turning to it. And while some medical efforts have gone down in flames (phen phen), it's a high-profit potential so a lot of money is going into lots of various research which may help. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out by 2030 that obesity is much like smoking is regarded today and is at similar lows.

    The avengers

    Ok, I can see where you're coming from, as I obviously have a thing for VFX too. My only concern is that what we've seen from the trailers looks kind of like ILM loaded the files for Transformers, swapped out a couple things and hit re-render... But what they showed of Rihanna's "acting" in the trailers was pretty awful, and I noticed she says one word in the final trailer... too bad there's no 'autotune' for acting! I'd also like to see more of the John Carter actor, though it's hard to imagine seeing *much* more of him than was on the screen for almost every moment of John Carter!! ;o)

    Seriously Expat, you're THE ONE waiting for Battleship?
  25. I appreciate these points and the chance to re-examine my views. I wish to emphasize I was calling nobody here a fucktard--just the hypocritical idiots of the Republican party! ;o) I've suggested a line, though the edge is blurred by medical science and the fact that medically viable babies can be born with detectable lifetime deformities of the mind or body. But again, there's the hypocrisy--if it's better for those babies to be born than be aborted, why do *the exact same* lawmakers cut family assistance up to institutionalization (where necessary) *every chance they get*? How's this for a litmus test: a fetus becomes a baby the moment a "pro-life" lawmaker is willing/able to adopt it and pay all expenses?
