He didn't say Great Man. Although LaLanne was far ahead of his time. He was the first person I can remember talking about metabolism and exercise and nutrition. He was the first person to come on TV with an aerobic exercise program, saying 30 minutes a day could maintain or improve strength and weight, and health. Long before any Gold's gym or LA Fitness.

During LaLanne's time there was also an early morning yoga program with Lila (or Leila, can't recall her name right now, but she had a long dark braid). This was 70s or 80s stuff, well before cable shows buying programs for fitness or nutrition. Julia Childs was in that era too, with her French cooking and loads of butter.
Somebody said "stupid" and look what happened...

Ha!
In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
Forget it.You're not a trivial fringe member, Crow. And you're right to post the death of an icon here. It was crass of me to post from the hip in a ho-hum way like that. I'm sorry.
I was a bit hasty too, so neither one of us will make very good Ents.
I can live with that, if you can.
Well, comparitively I meant.
To be honest, a lot of the D&D stuff may as well be in Wookie for all I can comprehend
That's ok, the Brave New World needs it's Epsilons too!
I said remarkable.
Anyone that swims to Alcatraz towing a boat while hand-cuffed at sixty years old fits that label for me.
Great is stretching it, though in the personal fitness field he could be considered so...he's pretty much a huge part of why it is the way it is today.
Don't know why I read great. Remarkable I can accept.I said remarkable.

Hug?

Since Burt Lancaster (Bird Man from Alcatraz) and Steve McQueen (Papillon) are already gone, I expect a great obituary when Dustin Hoffman dies. You can also post when people like George Lucas, Carrie Fisher, or Liam Neeson bites the dust.
Read a cracked article today, made me think of something I hadn't realized before. The Terminator is going to die, before me.
Lucas can go screw himself at this point.

I wonder how many boys got fucked up a bit with the "Luke, I am your Father"......
Think the sister reveal was more disturbing.
Luke - "Leia, I'm your brother."
Leia's inner monologue - "Oh god, I made out with him on Hoth!..should've left the tongue in."
Nothing could match the cinnamon buns on her ears. Girls have been laughing at that for years.
Speaking of Luke and Leia, why doesn't anyone comment on the fact that in the Empire Strikes Back, they have a full-on, tongues and all, smoochy frenchy kiss.
Did Lucas forget that he was later to reveal they were brother and sister?
Hm. Ok. I take it back. The comments are, of course, all over YT.
Icky.
Because her hair was soooo bad.Speaking of Luke and Leia, why doesn't anyone comment on the fact that in the Empire Strikes Back, they have a full-on, tongues and all, smoochy frenchy kiss.
Her rebel base on Hoth had just been discovered and destroyed, her fragile alliance was crumbling around her, she was fleeing for her very life, the man she was attracted to was behaving like a nerf herder, and she had just had a long, lingering smooch with her brother.
How good would your hair look? Hm? Hm?
Thought so.
I'd really like to know why all I have to do is leave the house for the rain to begin again. It's not that I have a problem with it raining, but after the kids are off the bus I want to go to the store, and it's totally gonna fuck up my suede shoes. The sun was out 4 minutes ago when I left.
We have squall approaching, first bands of it should be hitting in about 30 minutes. County Emergency Operations is freaking out. Talking about possible flooding, wind damage, even tornadoes (already under a watch).
I was just warned that since I'm already at work (and will be till 9), and on the emergency response list, if shit hits the fan anywhere in the county, I may not be going home for the night.

They shut the schools down about an hour ago. Wouldn't seem like a big deal, but with NCLB testing right around the corner, a lot of children were in after school programs.
Ouch, that looks rather nasty.

The local fox broadcast is reporting that a tornado touched down on the base. Thats about a mile from my house, so Brandy is freaking. Now has all the kids in the hall closet
Today had a 2 hour meeting with the medical staff involved in the procedures surrounding the death of my sister. What I learned from this meeting is that the death of my sister was the direct result of a too forceful attempt to insert a trocar. The attempt was aborted, but what wasn't diagnosed was that the attempt had punctured the small intestine, the colon and for good measure the duodenum. None of the punctures was located before at least 12 hours after the procedure that caused the damage. The last puncture in the duodenum was closed 36 hours after it was caused. Too late really to make any difference any longer.
I have a strong suspicion the main reason why they didn't notice the punctures was that they tried to proceed with the operation during wich the stomach was punctured, which then needed to be attended to. They simply were too busy to fix one mistake to notice the lethal injury they had also caused.
It boggles my mind; my nephews have decided to sue and are in the process of selecting a lawyer.
Congratulations America
I can't sleep.........
Try thinking of everthing at once. Don't let your mind focus on any one thing.
Faith is Hope (see Loki's sig for details)
If hindsight is 20-20, why is it so often ignored?
Such ineptitude sounds astonishing.
Her sons are right to sue, and I wish them the best with it.
Ran into the worst bug I've ever encountered today. It took 7 hours to debug, and seemed to occur randomly or only on certain machines until we finally realized it came down to whether or not the steering wheel turned after we made a selection. 12 hour days rule!
Those new Sandy Bridge mobile i7 processors look snazzy. Hence it's almost too good to be true that my laptop bought in 2009, has now had its 3rd fault on the screen. That warrants a money refund, and I'll be laughing all the way to the bank.
Tomorrow is like an empty canvas that extends endlessly, what should I sketch on it?
Looks like I'll have to give up on a compound I was trying to obtain for the last half a year or so. It would've been an important reaction pathway for my Masters thesis. I got as far as making a starting material - a certain phenanthrene derivative, which looks like ground-up yellow brick. And for our intents, it has proved to be about as reactive as one. The only reaction which afforded something different than the starting material turned out to have only produced an unexpected side-product. Oh well.
On a more positive note, this means I'll get to work on something else, which means I'm not exactly stuck with this damn inert yellow dust.
