Amounting to Nothing... A Change of Pace - [Niedermeyer's Dead Horse]
— Open Blogger

It's late in the day. Time for a change of pace from the rage-inducing threads pertaining to the enscrewening.

How about some pop culture news?

15 carats. Kanye "Gay Fish" West popped the question to his baby-mama with a 15-carat diamond ring. Now, this isn't exactly Liz and Dick we're talking about here, but Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. I'll admit it: I'm ashamed to know who they are.

News from the Big Apple:

Rock candy can be hazardous to your freedom.

Happenings on the left coast:

Los Angeles green-lights streetcar project based upon back of the envelope estimates. Actual cost has now doubled. Yes. I'm glad you asked: Federal funds were used for this project.

And in the world of science:

Is it time to stop the fight against saturated fat? One doctor thinks so.

News of the creepy kind:

Aaron rents settles with the FTC after charges of, well... Let's just say the NSA has nothing on them.

Why not a National Enquirer headline while we're at it?

Corey Feldman is talking. After alleging that Corey Haim had been haunted by sexual abuse, leading ultimately to his death, he refused to name names. Now he's written a book. I predict it will be a best-seller.

And...

What would a news round-up be without mentioning Florida?

Some people take their beer very seriously.

One last thing:

Here's a neat photo for you.

Now, off with you. You have serious commenting to do.

10 Regarding the saturated fats, as with good and bad cholesterol and even to a certain degree, blood sugar levels, whenever the medical community, which is, by the way, highly politicized, massages (i.e. pulls out of their butts) numbers, I am very cynical. I may even call them liars.

25 I've got nothing to add on pop culture.

However, on a serious note, today is the 30th anniversary of the Beirut bombing. Visiting the memorial a few weeks ago before bringing our son home from Lejeune, was heartwrenching. It happened to be on a Sunday, Gold Star Mothers' Day.

Three young Marines were at the memorial, and one of them reached up and touched his fingers to a name. He turned to my husband and said, "Sir, this was my father's best friend. I had to come and find his name."

Ironically, it was the same day that TFG was reaching out to the president of Iran.

Okay, I'll knock off the serious stuff now. However, I haven't seen any mention of this anniversary anywhere. If I've missed it, let me know.

46 For Baldilocks-Hope in a world of despair. "Someone once asked Brother Lawrence, the 16th century French monk (who wrote the great "The Practice of the Presence of God), if he wondered why there was evil in the world. Brother Lawrence replied that he was not surprised by the evil in the world, he was only surprised that there was not more, considering the malice that people were capable of. In the worst evil, Life and Light come forth and God is glorified" I know that your Pastor and other Christians bring a word of hope, but reminders are always a good thing, sister. :^) This is a nice article, I think http://theschoolofchrist.org/articles/overcoming-evil.html

49 I wonder if Feldman has any real dirt to dish. He's got some hearsay from Haim, and a guy his Dad hired to be Feldman's assistant abused him sexually. That's horrible, but it's not Hollywood dirt. It's possible the article doesn't give away the juicy bits. I thought it would have info on Studio people trading sex for jobs. Simply based on the article linked, it's a big nothingburger.

61 Our daughter was a clerk in a liquor store when she was in college. We lived in NE Indiana, loaded with Amish, and she got a kick out of the young bearded guys coming in off the carpentry gig on Friday afternoons, buying four cases of something cheap cold, and a few 175s of any kind of rotgut. But I digress. She delivered, sort of. Guy would come in every other day in his beater, some huge fat guy probably on disability, could not even get out of his car, parked out front and tooted his horn. Two 175s of cheap vodka every time, cash.

The stories are out there, and if you want salacious, they're about as bad as you can imagine.

The reason names don't get named is because you can't have proof of something somebody did 30 years ago, and if you go accusing them you will get sued out of what little you have left. Or worse.

Here's a good rule of thumb: take any group of kids. Put them in situations where they will spend substantial amounts of time around adults who are not their parents. A good percentage of those adults will sexually abuse those kids.

Not just Hollywood, not just Catholic priests, not just athletic coaches. Everywhere.

I am sure the morons already covered this but it bears repeating. The Estimator that Barryco. put on the 404 website uses only two ages to "estimate" the rates!!!! Holy crap. Talk about misleading..........

Industry analysts, such as Jonathan Wu, point to how the website lumps people only into two broad categories: Â“49 or underÂ” and Â“50 or older.Â”

Wu said itÂ’s Â“incredibly misleading for people that are trying to get a sense of what theyÂ’re paying.Â”

Prices for everyone in the 49-or-under group are based on what a 27-year-old would pay. In the 50-or-older group, prices are based on what a 50-year-old would pay.

CBS News ran the numbers for a 48-year-old in Charlotte, N.C., ineligible for subsidies. According to HealthCare.gov, she would pay $231 a month, but the actual plan on BlueCross BlueShield of North CarolinaÂ’s website costs $360, more than a 50 percent increase. The difference: BlueCross BlueShield requests your birthday before providing more accurate estimates.

The numbers for older Americans are even more striking. A 62-year-old in Charlotte looking for the same basic plan would get a price estimate on the government website of $394. The actual price is $634.

Mediterranean - roots from Greece and Southern Italy is easy, as well. I eat my bacon. I eat real butter. I use olive oil, a lot. I eat my fatty cheeses, beer, etc. I just watch my calories from the real fat to maintain my weight. And, eat seafood. Less red meat. It's that simple. Always was. No overly/highly processed foods.

The reason names don't get named is because you can't have proof of something somebody did 30 years ago, and if you go accusing them you will get sued out of what little you have left. Or worse. I get that. I really do. However, if Feldman can focus an investigation, the LEOs can then find kids from that era that would have been exposed to the pedophiles. Then they can start a real investigation based on multiple testimonies. Go after them like the Priests. If you start with the ones that are no longer protected by the Studios, maybe you can get them to roll over on the ones that are still Studio people. Then you can really make a difference.

The problem is, I really don't think he DOES know about anyone other than himself, and what Haim told him. There are stories out there, but they're just stories.

The abused would have to come forward themselves. Compare this to the Sandusky case, or even Filthy Filner. Somebody was the first to come forward. Others either come forward afterwards or they don't.

I'm not going to fault the guy if he's not willing to put his neck out there more. It would take a level of courage he doesn't yet have. Maybe someday he will.

Aledo High School's football team has been significantly better than its opponents this season, winning by an average of 77 points per game over district opponents. Last week, Aledo beat Fort Worth Western Hills 91-0 and a complaint was filed by a Western Hills parent.

The doctors went so far as to show her an image of her blackened dying lungs to try to scare her into stopping, which she did, for a while, and she felt better. But, then she started up again, and it destroyed her. I think it depends on who you are and how much you smoke. The family line is very healthy, otherwise, and no one else smoked. Her mother lived to 95, and was still cooking in the kitchen. She only lived to 87.

169 KK had her body sprayed with makeup to cover her stretch marks, put on a string bikini that barely covered her nipples and a thong, and had a professional photographer pretend to be taking candid of her near a hotel pool. This was one week before she gave birth. It's not like she and every other star have posted numerous photos of their pregnant bellies already. My god, she was huge.

172 The reason why a cynic would think Feldman would say good things about Jackson is the Jackson kids might just be able to employ people like Feldman in the future. I have no doubt Michael Jackson was a pedophile. Too much smoke there (especially how the boys he surrounded himself with tended to only be good-looking, and there were no girls). Perhaps MJ did not find Feldman attractive or young enough. Did Corey Haim ever talk about MJ?

175 141 Oh, and sat-fat being okay? Just ask any of us who grew up with pre-government-approved cooking, or who've lost appreciable weight on low carb, high protein and real fat diets. I'm feeling better these days than I ever did on the high-carb *bleep* the government urges on us. Posted by: Empire1 at October 23, 2013 06:55 PM (EqszX) I've been hearing this more and more lately, from a variety of sources. I'm not overweight, but I had a checkup in September and my total cholesterol and triglycerides were high. I was told to come back and be retested in December. I've been trying to cut back on carbs while not worrying about fat, especially animal fat. I do like pasta, rice, and potatoes, though, so I'm not sure how successful I've been. I guess we'll see in December. One thing I've read is that the body digests animal fat more slowly than carbohydrates, so if you eat things like bacon & eggs for breakfast, you're less likely to crave a snack before lunch. On the other hand, if you eat lots of carbs, your body burns through them faster and you get hungry sooner. Many snack foods are also high in carbs, so I can see how this could become a vicious cycle.

Hey, Purp. Could you possibly post something about this being the 30th anniversary of the Beirut bombing? Having visited the memorial near Camp Lejeune a few weeks ago, I'm haunted by the young Marines we saw visiting, and the flowers and memorials left.

NYC firefighters donated a piece of one of the beams of one of the Towers to the Marines.

There's a plaque to Gold Star Moms there, and also a poem to the fallen in Beirut (off to find the poem).

Eating low-carb will drop your triglyceride levels very significantly. Or at least, it did that for me. I don't remember the numbers, but it was not a small change.

196 85 Yeah, it's an open secret about child stars and what happens to them in Hollywood. I think Miley Cyrus is acting out as a result of things that happened to her. I don't excuse her, but, it does make some of her weirdness understandable.

Everyone Tsk Tsked Amanda Bynes when she went off the deep and , but I think it's an open secret she was abused as a kid by Hollywood bigwigs. That plus untreated bipolar disorder will seriously mess you up. Hayden Pennietierre or whatevs also supposedly abused.

I have no doubt at all Miley was abused; ppl say daddy did it but I don't think so. He seemed to be one of the few to me that actually did care, but when you let your kid be an unsupervised princess for years, you shouldn't be surprised when she grows up to look nothing like the sweet little girl you started out with.

197 Three months ago, husband and I went on Nutrisystem (my idea, to get very overweight husband to learn portion size).

We stuck with the "gruel" as my husband called it, and he lost nearly 20 lbs. in a month (!!!). I lost the 15 I wanted to lose. Neither of us was exercising.

Now, husband has learned how to eat, and has lost nearly 30 lbs., still without exercising. I plan on hitting the fitness center, or just getting out and power walking the three miles/day I used to do before my right knee became too painful.

Husband now agrees with me that he can eat anything in moderation, and portion size.

ALWAYS eat carbs with protein, always, and you don;t get the crash.

I wouldn't mention it if it hadn't actually worked, but my mom started drinking Rooibos Tea (an african bush tea) every morning, on recommendation it would lower her cholesterol. It worked! She steeps it night before and drinks it cold in the morning. We have the bloodwork to prove it actually worked. No clue why tho. Numi, Tazo, and Celestial Seasonings all sell their own variations of it.

202 Rickl -- I've been trying to cut back on carbs while not worrying about fat, especially animal fat. I do like pasta, rice, and potatoes, though, so I'm not sure how successful I've been. I guess we'll see in December. Oh, I miss my carbs at times (especially Cheez-Its), but on the other hand, trading them for bacon seems like a no-brainer for me. My cholesterol is lower thanks to Zetia rather than a statin, and my triglycerides are fine. I usually have under 20 grams of carbs a day. One thing I've read is that the body digests animal fat more slowly than carbohydrates, so if you eat things like bacon & eggs for breakfast, you're less likely to crave a snack before lunch. This is very true. In fact, if I eat a low-carb breakfast, I don't usually want anything else most of the day. And even without that, it's no problem to go without more than high protein/fat snacks for a full day. On the other hand, if you eat lots of carbs, your body burns through them faster and you get hungry sooner. Many snack foods are also high in carbs, so I can see how this could become a vicious cycle.

207 Karl Denninger at Market Ticker has been writing about this a lot lately. Here's a recent post: http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=225251 A commenter noted a passage from Tolstoy's novel Anna Karenina, published about 140 years ago: "On the day of the Krasnoe Selo races [a horse race], Vronsky came earlier than usual to eat his breakfast in the common room of the regimental mess. He did not need to maintain himself too strictly, because his wight was exactly the regulation hundred and sixty pounds, but he also had not to gain any weight, and so he avoided starches and sweets."
