New! Reviews Summary for GLUCOPHAGE | Top 10 Adverse Effects (reported to FDA)
5 | pcosw/hperincelimia | | 11/6/2001 | 5 | | 8/10/2007 | 5 | | 4/1/2008 | 3 | DIABETES | | 1/6/2002 | 2 | PCOS | Nausea, stomach cramps bouts of diarreah, unpredictable bowel movements. Some stomach pain. Never take on an empty stomach as I did and it was awful. | Going to stop it for a few days to see if it helps with the bowel movements, if it does then will see GP about changing to something else, maybe a slow release version whichI have heard about. | 35 | 3 months | 1/13/2006 | 2 | | 9/8/2006 | 1 | diabetes type 2 | I felt really sick -- thought I was dying of some mysterious disease. Meanwhile, my blood sugar was rising and diet and exericse didn't help. When my doc raised my dose of metformin it became immediately obvious that this was the problem. I posted 2 years ago and wanted to update. Please read comments on Actos. It was even worse. Now I'm going to do insulin. Nobody complains about insulin except for the inconvenience. They also say the needles are not anywhere near as bad as the levels testing. | Read my comments on Actos. It was even worse. | | 11/19/2005 | 5 | pcos | so far bloating...just started day 4 of 500 mg and increased to 1000 today. very bloated feeling no diarreah as of yet...cross my fingers! definitly a decrease in appetite. | My energy has increased and the brain fog feeling has gone away..newely diagnosed and its good to FINALLY figure out what was wrong with me and have some answers! Please Email me if you want support :O) | F | 33 | 4 days | 12/17/2005 | 5 | Insulin Resitance | "Medicine head", slight nausea, with headache. | I was reccently re-daignosed with insulin resistance. I took the med for about 1.5 years in the past without changing my eating habits and little to no exercise. I had terrible diarrhea, bloating, and gas. I only loss about 10 pounds over the 1.5 years. This time, my doctor cautioned me to eat like a diabetic (low carbs/sugar) and exercise (3x a week).When I questioned her about my side effects, she told me they were expected and should subside in 3-4 weeks once my insulin levels go down and my body gets use to the glucophage. So far, I have been following her instructions and I have lost 5 lbs in 7 days. I have @25 lbs to lose and I will be happy; 40 lbs weight loss and I will be elated! | F | 33 | 7 days | 1/25/2007 | 5 | Insulin Resitance | "Medicine head", slight nausea, with headache. | I was reccently re-daignosed with insulin resistance.

I take 500mg ER with dinner. So far, I have been following her instructions and I have lost 5 lbs in 7 days. I have @25 lbs to lose and I will be happy; 40 lbs weight loss and I will be elated! | F | 33 | 7 days | 1/25/2007 | 5 | PCOS | Some diarrhea....only if i eat really fatty foods and a little bit of nausea in the first two weeks. | This drug has been amazing..... i have been taking 500mg three times a day with meals and so far i have lost 15lbs and that is without doing anything.... I still eat what i want (including junk food), and i hardly exercise....however i did notice that my appetite did decrease. I was 85lbs overweight... and now i only have another 70lbs to go...now i believe i can do it and am now gonna actually try eating healthier and exercising more frequently. Hopefully this drug will also help me achieve the biggest miracle and help me become a mother. I'll keep you updated... :) | F | 27 | 4 weeks | 1/25/2007 | 5 | PCOS and insulin resistance | I get nausiated after I eat, at first I thought this was all in my head. I don't want to eat, of course the welbutrin doesn't exactly make me ravenous. I eventually get tired of listening to my stomach growl. I get the hiccups more than normal. oh, and loose stools, thats an understatement. However, my after meal "crash" isn't as bad as it was even when I was staying away from carbs and sugars. I don't nod off at my desk after lunch anymore. | I've only been on glucophage for 2 weeks and i've lost 7lbs!! glucophage + low carb low sugar diet + exercise, I hope to lose 70 lbs. 63 more to go. | F | 23 | 2 weeks | 5/17/2006 | 5 | PCOS INFERTILITY | Slight stomach ache and loose BM, I found if I take it in the middle of dinner it works best. The food cushions the pill. | I got pregnant with my first child after 4 months of being on it, We had been trying for three years. I went off of it once I found out I was pg(no known study of effects on fetus) I am back on it 3 years later trying for our second child and to loose weight. 500mg once a day. | F | 34 | 7 days | 5/22/2006 | 5 | PCOS INFERTILITY | Slight stomach ache and loose BM, I found if I take it in the middle of dinner it works best. The food cushions the pill. | I got pregnant with my first child after 4 months of being on it, We had been trying for three years. I went off of it once I found out I was pg(no known study of effects on fetus) I am back on it 3 years later trying for our second child and to loose weight. 500mg once a day. | F | 34 | 7 days | 5/22/2006 | 5 | PCOS / Infertility | gas, bloating, mild stomach pain | Without this medicine I would never have conceived my son. It really worked for me for infertility. The medication does not seem to do much for my PCOS symptoms other than to make my cycle regular. | F | 42 | 6 years | 3/31/2006 | 5 | pcos/infertility/hyperinsulinemia | diarrhea (quick onset), more energy, too soon to tell | I am very hopeful that this will resume my menstrual cycles that are non-existent. I am taking 500mg 1st wk, then increasing 500mg each week until I reach 2000mg in the 4th week. | F | 28 | 4 days | 4/10/2006 | 5 | PCOS / RECURRENT MISCARRIAGE | Hardly any - 1 bout of loose stool 1st day mild nasuea each time i "upped" the dose. | Was really worried about starting these tablets after reading the side effects some people had experianced but i have been absolutly fine on them. Started slowly one a day for week then increased dosage by one table each week until i reached 3 a day. | F | 25 | 3 weeks | 3/19/2007 | 5 | Type II Diabetes | Horrible at first! I had stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, gas, nasty taste in my mough. So sick I tried to insist my doctor take me off it. This lasted about two months. | After initial side effects, I feel great! Glad I stuck it out. Glucophage is also, thankfully, available in a generic, unlike many other diabetes drugs. I am now taking Avandamet, which is Glucophage and Avandia together. I feel much, much better. My blood sugar is under more control. I have lost 12% body fat in two years, much more energy, but moved from desk job to farm job. Don't know if diabetes meds were a factor or not. | F | 46 | 3 years | 9/27/2005 | 5 | PCOS/Infertility | No side effects | We tried 4 months to get pregnant with no luck. Started glucophage (metformin) and got pregnant the next cycle. The doc advised I stay on the drug throughout the pregnancy to prevent miscarriage (though its not FDA approved yet for such use.) I just started taking it again, hoping to conceive child #2. I feel like I have the flu. I don't know if its the drug or not. I'm shaking, have a headache, feel achy..can't keep warm. Motrin fixed these symptoms however. | F | 40 | 9 months | 11/20/2006 | 5 | PCOS | Really bad GI upset. I have IBS, so I thought I could handle it but it is horrible! If I eat something with too much fat, I literally can not get off the toilet for an hour or so. I have been taking an immodium everyday, or every other day. | I have about 60 pounds to lose. In the first week I've lost 4 pounds. I'm also on a low calorie diet and exercise everyday. It's really too early to say if it's helping with the facial hair or irregular periods, but I will update at a month in. Please.. feel free to contact me if you are in a similar situation.. I'd love to swap stories and support. :) | F | 26 | 7 days | 1/31/2007 | 5 | PCOS | headache | Wondering if anyone knows how long a person with PCOS has to be on this medication before transitioning out of it....or is this for life??? I want my symptoms (no period, hair loss, hirsutism, weight gain) to be minimized so hopefully this will work. Feel free to email me! | F | 32 | 1 weeks | 3/12/2007 | 5 | pcos | definitely had upset stomach/diarrhea for the first two weeks, plus no appetite | the first time i started taking glucophage i lost 29 pounds, which was a miracle, usually im like a compulsive eater but it made me have no appetite to the point that i COULDNT eat, i stopped taking it in college cause i couldnt drink on it and have gained atleast the thirty pounds back, i have no been on it again for a week and all the side effects are the same (so i hope the weight comes off again too!) | F | 22 | 1 weeks | 7/6/2006 | 5 | PCOS | No side effects at all!! Taking 1500mg metformin-XR in the morning with breakfast. I have had no diarhhea or stomach upset. | I have been taking this since october 2006. I seem to have lost 5 pounds or so without even trying. I haven't altered my diet at all and I still eat lots of carbs but I hope to change that and increase weight loss. One thing I have noticed is that I am not as "groggy" in morning when I wake up. It used to take me at least an hour to feel awake in the morning, but now it only takes ten minutes or so. So far it has not totally regulated my periods but I did get pregnant the second month of taking it(ended in m/c though). It is hard to tell if it improved my cycle length since I have not gone through any complete cycles because of the pregnancy and miscarriage. | F | 37 | 4 months | 2/18/2007 | 5 | PCOS | none started taking it yesterday | I was wondering if anyone had a low carb high protein diet they could email me. I am 19 yrs old and have had multiple miscarriages, so my doc finally after I went to another doctor and had some tests done prescribed me glucophage only 500 mg a day, I was also wondering any of you guys know the stats on having multiples while on this medication firstname.lastname@example.com Thanks | F | 19 | 1 days | 3/13/2007 | 5 | PCOS | Terribly constipation and constant naseau | It worked! Never got my period because I got pregnant! No continuing to stay on until end of 1st trimester to help prevent gestational diabetes. Constipation and naseau could have been from pregnancy, I've heard that some women get those symptoms from moment of conception, and I sure had them until I was about 8 weeks along. | F | 24 | 3 months | 3/6/2007 | 5 | PCOS | I haven't had any bad side effects at all. No diarrhea or any stomach problems. I take 500mg 2x daily. I have lost 60 pounds this year, and I am FINALLY down to my weight in high school of 120. I'm graduating college this year and will finally be able to wear what everyone else wears my age. With this medicine my menstrual cycle started after an eight year lapse. | It has really helped. I have taken it with Spironolactone (diuretic) for the past five months, and that is when I really noticed the weight fall off. No diet changes, only changed from Cherry Coke, to Cherry Coke Zero; one can a day. | F | 22 | 1 years | 4/23/2007 | 5 | insulin resistant | Gas and bloating the first couple of weeks but went away. | I have been taking it for about 6 weeks and have lost 8 pounds. I have more energy and less of an appetite. | F | 35 | 6 weeks | 2/26/2006 | 5 | PCOS/infertility | Felt light headed, had some nausea and then a loose stool only the first day. Then switched to taking my dose at night before bed and my symptoms went away. | I'm only on 1000mg once per day for my mild PCOS. However, it has significantly changed my life! I've lost 10 lbs in about 6 weeks, without changing my diet, and I was not even overweight to begin with. I'm less hungry and my digestion seems somehow better (less bloating/gas). Acne cleared up completely. My cycle seems to be perfectly regular as well now at 28 days. Before taking this drug I was in denial about having PCOS, but I am now convinced that I have it. Just waiting to see if I can get pregnant as well. I have hope again after 14 mos of trying to conceive. | F | 33 | 6 weeks | 4/28/2006 | 5 | Insulin Resistance Syndrome | After starting metformin, she did have the abd side effects on and off (abd pain, diarrhea) for about 2 weeks, then they decreased sharply. | I am a mother of a 6 year old girl, who was 4'6" and weighed 111 pounds. Being a nurse, I noted that she started gaining weight awfully fast and eating constantly. I took her to a Pediatric Endocrinologist and after testing she was diagnosed with insulin resistance syndrome in May 2006. She started on 1000mg with breakfast and dinner. She is now on 500 mg twice a day and, 4"7" and 93 pounds, without any diet change. Her appetite was cut almost from dose one and she is a totally different child, energy for days and eats a serving of food and does not ask for seconds or thirds. This has been a blessing for us. | F | 35 | 6 months | 11/18/2006 | 5 | Type II Diabetes | Gas, cramping first couple of weeks. Dizziness, muscle cramps and HAIR LOSS. Periods returned despite previously having an endometrial ablation. | Take 500 mg twice a day. ACH1 was over 10, now 5.4. Have lost 64 lbs (90 total) since taking this drug, however, I am on a rigorous diet and exercise program. I don't think it is a "magical" weight loss drug. Hair problems could be due to the tremendous weight loss since this has happened before when I've lost weight, it just seems really excessive. The return of periods is disappointing, but it's nowhere near the severity of pre-ablation. Dealing with it since the good outweighs the bad at this point. | F | 44 | 5 months | 11/18/2006 | 5 | Weight loss, Pre diabeties | The first day bad diarrhea! I've been very thirsty for water too. | I've lost 5 pounds in 5 days! I'm very excited!! I feel like mentally it's easier to not over eat. I went from 334 to 329!! Hooray!! | F | 23 | 5 days | 12/10/2006 | 5 | insulin resistance and pcos | gas, bloating and loose stools. | I have been taking the generic form of Glucophage, Metformin for 6 days and already have lost 5 lbs. I am so excited about this drug. I was always a thin person, but started rapidly gaining weight in the last 4 yrs. I am 5'9 and 229lbs. Hope to lose about 75-85 lbs and get back to my old size. | F | 29 | 6 days | 12/5/2006 | 5 | PCOS | nausea,gas,tired,felt like i was unbalanced | I have lost 8 pounds and I'm starting to see less of a brake out on my face. Acne and My weight gain has trouble me for 3 years after the birth of my 3 child. If there are any websites for better communication I love to join! | F | 38 | 2 weeks | 12/7/2006 | 5 | PCOS | Nausea | I've been taking met for 3 weeks now. 500mg 1st week rising to 1500mg in the 3rd week. I got a period in the second week for the first time in nearly a year. I've also lost 8lbs. | F | 34 | 3 weeks | 12/4/2006 | 5 | PCOS, Insulin Resistance | nausea, diarrhea, lots of gas and burping! :-) They eventually went away, thankfully. | I lost 40.5 pounds the first year. I've now been on 1.5 years. I tried to step down this year and began rapidly gaining weight again. I have now gone back up a dosage and my weight has seemed to stablize. In the final outcome I've now gone from taking 4 500mg tables per day to taking 3 500mg tablets per day. I am hoping that additional weight loss will make me healthy enough to step down further on the medications. I do a cardio workout 4 to 5 times per week. And, I've now added strength training three times per week through Curves for Women. | F | 47 | 1.5 years | 7/7/2007 | 5 | pre-diabetes, lack of energy | maybe some nausea at first.. still experience frequent constipation & the drug totally changed my bowel habits (sorry..eww) | I'm using Metformin 500 (twice/day) in combination with Wellbutrin XL 300 (anti-depressant), and now I have much more energy, lost 15 pounds without changing food habits, now I've lost a total of 36 pounds with the drugs & food plan. I have more motivation, and I don't feel like I have to eat all day. Before Metformin, I'd graze on snacks because I felt tired all of the time.. not anymore! No more lazy couch potato days! | F | 27 | 1.5 times | 7/9/2006 | 5 | pre-diabetes, lack of energy | sorry.. I posted the previous comment.. I meant to put I've been taking Metformin 1.5 YEARS. | F | 27 | 1.5 years | 7/9/2006 | 5 | Weight Loss/ Possible PCOS | diarrhea, loose stool first 48 hours then stopped. Also experienced "sick back of throat feeling" someone else had on here-but I cannot be sure it was due to pill. Had no ill side effect until I had been on it for a week then I had neausea so bad I started thinking I was pregnant and had a test done! Came back negative and I find out this sickness is #1 side-effect of Metformin. BUT BOY DID I LOOSE WEIGHT! Naseua annoying, but not severe. 500 mg 20 minutes BEFORE lunch. ALSO, TAKING 1 500 MG OF UNSWEETENED VITAMIN C WITH PILL HELPS WITH NAUSEA. | I believe the reason I experienced the nausea is because of the time I took this med. I was told 20 min before a meal and I would take it a few minutes before-having often forgot to take it. Also, my Dr. told me NOT TO EAT lrg. amounts of fruits, sugars, or carbs.Any unheathly food u eat will cause diarrhea,ie junk food or candy. LOST 10 LBS IN FIRST WEEK with no exercise. I believe this drug does it's job, you must do yours and make sure you eat properly and strickly adhere to medication directions. Severe hair loss and balding (as well as excessive hair-growth) is a sign of PCOS, so I would find it hard to believe this drug would cause balding. Great drug for weight loss and PCOS, but MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY. Or your think your pregnant:P | F | 26 | 10 days | 1/23/2007 | 5 | PCOS, Syndrome X, IR | If taken WITHOUT a low GI diet that is high in sugar: headache, loose bowels, gas, bloating. If taken WITH a low GI/low sugar diet: minimal | I have been keeping a journal of what I eat in order to minimize the side effects of this drug and track weight loss. I started on two 500 mg doses daily (breakfast and dinner) along with a good low glycemic index diet. Very unscientifically (admittedly) I have found that taking 2 tablespoons of benefiber (or other fiber suppliment) with the meal I eat after taking Glucophage nearly eliminates all symptoms. I know it is counterintuitive to take a fiber suppliment when fighting loose bowels, but fiber is a regulatory agent and may also form bulk that has (at least for me) mitigated the side-effects of the drug. I did find that when I ate a pint of ice cream there was nothing I could do to beat the side effects. I have lost 8 pounds in two weeks with a couple falls of the good diet wagon (I am worse on weekends). I hope it helps: take a fiber suppliment (powder more effective than pills--I reccommend benefiber because you don't taste it in foods) and stick to the low GI diet and you will | F | 32 | 2 weeks | 1/29/2007 | 5 | PCOS | Some diarrhoea and nausea/vomiting first month or so (especially once I was up on 1500mg) and if I ate the wrong foods. Loss of appetite, metallic taste in mouth. | I took met for 13months and lost 25kg (55lbs) in that time. I had more energy, less sugar cravings and I think hair growth slowed down too. I had previously done 11 rounds of clomid with no success. I got pregnant for the first time after 13 months on met. Continued taking it for the first 14wks to avoid miscarriage and now have a healthy alomost one year old baby boy! I have only just restarted met a week ago, I delayed starting it again because I am still breastfeeding but the Dr's have given me the go-ahead to start again since my son is only feeding 3 times a day now. I got pregnant again when my son was 8months (no meds, PCOS and breastfeeding!!) but unfortunately had a miscarriage at 8wks2days. I honestly believe it was because I wasn't on met. I have 10kgs (22lbs) of pregnancy weight to lose so I am hoping met will help me again this time! Happy to receive emails :) | F | 27 | 2 weeks | 3/21/2007 | 5 | PCOS | PRO: clear skin, WEIGHT LOSS [ 25lbs and counting ], more energy, curbed appetite, regular periods. CON: slight diarreha. [ that is the only down fall] | DEF go with this | F | 20 | 4 months | 4/3/2007 | 5 | P.C.O | Dont wait to go to the bathroom.... Or youll be washing some clothes next lol | Amazing pill. After a few days I started noticing I had energy to do everything I wanted Plus more. I have lost about 33 lbs in 1 and a half months. (I have a hard time remembering to take pills, when I do stay on track the weight is flying off) My periods are almost clock work again. Hair on my face I still havnt really noticed a change yet, but the hair on my legs has slowed down to nothing now. My complextion is clearing up amazling to. (acne) Glucophage is the only current meds I am taking for P.C.O. | F | 28 | 1.5 months | 7/28/2006 | 5 | diabetic | F | 51 | 6 days | 1/8/2007 | 5 | PCOS | Gas Bloating Loose stools felt off balance for a couple days | Lost about 8 pounds and im seeing my acne going away. I was having alot of low blood sugar spells now they are less frequent | F | 29 | 9 days | 1/4/2007 | 5 | PCOS | I have just strated this medication, previously I was taking 500 mg. my Dr. increased it to 750 mg two days ago. With the 500 mg I have experienced loose bowel. | I hope to lose 100 lbs. and eventually become pregnant. I have not had a period in years, so hopefully everything will go back to normal. I will keep you all posted. | F | 26 | 2 days | 1/31/2007 | 5 | PCOS | loose stools/GI symptoms during first 2 months Weight loss | This is a miracle drug for me. Gained lots of weight over 4-5 months due to PCOS. First 3 months on metformin and I lost about 25lbs :) I was already on a controlled diet (1400-1500 calories) and working out (1-1.5hrs 5xweek). It's like metformin just helped make those efforts actually count for something. Yes, it was uncomfortable when I first started taking it. Stick with it. You'll be happy in the end. I take 1000mg 2x day now, but started with just 500mg 1x week and ramped up over a 4-5week period. This greatly reduced symptoms. Initially, i was given the xr version at 1500mg a day (straight off) and couldn't handle it at all--threw it right back up. Careful introduction of the regular (non xr) version has been great | F | 25 | 1 years | 10/24/2008 | 5 | PCOS | Bloating, Stomach Ache, Using the bathroom constantly. I have lost some weight...Hoping I get pregnant. Weight loss is great too!!! Hope it continues | F | 29 | 1 weeks | 10/10/2006 | 5 | PCOS/Infertility | diarrhea, upset stomach, gas, nausea and weight loss. | Currently taking 1000mg per day after dinner and 150mg of Clomid. Not diabetic or insulin resistant, but I need to loose 20 lbs. So far I've dropped 3 lbs in the last few days. Too early to tell, but I hope this does the trick. | F | 30 | 7 days | 11/14/2007 | 5 | Insulin Resistance | none yet. | I wish I had see a doctor sooner. I have a ton of energy and feel so much better. I also lost 6 pounds in the first 8 days. | F | 42 | 2 weeks | 12/19/2004 | 5 | PCO | loose bowels for a week or so | LESS HAIR!! my legs look like they did when I was 7 LOL Feel better,less tired,less hungry and have lost weight having Periods too. | F | 39 | 4 months | 11/30/2004 | 5 | PCOS/hyperinsulinemia | Diarrhea at first, reduced hunger | I've been on Glucophage for just over 1 year. I started at 500 mg/day and ramped up to 2000 mg/day. I lost 65 lbs in about 4 months and have kept it off for 9 months (so far). I have energy and generally feel great! More importantly, between the glucophage and my diet (low-carb), my cholesterol has dropped, my insulin levels have dropped, my blood sugar is much more stable, and I am in much better health overall. | F | 35 | 14 months | 8/13/2004 | 5 | Hyperinsulinemia/Insulin Resistance | BEFORE MEDICATION: Hypoglycemic (Low blood sugar) attacks 4 or 5 times a day, confusion (inability to figure out simple situations), dizziness, loss of consciousness, extreme fatigue, sleeping all of the time, extreme nervousness, tremors, all of these symptoms happened too quickly to react to in time, headaches. | I am on a permanent prescription of Metformin HCL, 2000MG a day, two at lunch, two at dinner. All symptoms have gone, insulin levels have returned to normal (I was triple the normal amount of blood insulin levels before Metformin). I feel alive again! EXTREMELY INCREASED Energy, Great Concentration, no low sugar attacks anymore, and I have lost 10KG (22 pounds) in the past three months and still losing. Decreased Appetite and I'm more active.

Ramping up to 1000 mg twice daily (1)morning (1)night | My dosage seems higher than other ratings. I hope this works. Unsure how I feel at this point - still lack energy - but alot of weight to loose. Current weight 270 goal 180. Wish me luck | F | 39 | 1 weeks | 9/4/2006 | 5 | Type 2 | First few days I had very loose stools and had to run to the bathroom. Stomach cramps too. | Keep with it! The side affects do go away. I have begun to lose weight and have much more energy. | F | 40 | 2 months | 2/8/2006 | 5 | UPDATE | weight loss & tons of energy | This was a update to my earlier post. I went to the dr the other day and I hadnt said a word to them about my weight loss and outa curisty asked them my weight from when I was there last lol. Their last weight was 256 or so. Now Im down to 213 Ü Yehhh. She kinda did a double take and said wow uve lost alot of weight lol... Nice to go to the dr for the first time and not be gripped at about not losing or gaining more. | F | 28 | 2.5 months | 9/7/2006 | 5 | diabetes 2 | I did have to go the bathroom all the time at first but now i do not.

Help me decide which restaurant to go to.
Hello. I am new to chowhound but I wanted to see you guys review. I am planning to take my friend to one of these restaurants that i have selected, Spago, Studio at the Montage or Providence. I am really curious which one I should go to. I am planning to order the tasting menu to which ever restaurant I go to. I heard that Spago and Studio have a really nice view outside at the patio which is one reason I really want to go there but I heard Providence has a really delicious full tasting menu. I am also wondering if there is alcohol involved the full tasting menu because I saw some pictures of mojito ravioli. My friend is only 18 so I don't want any alcohol involved. Please give me suggestions on what to wear and what to expect. And if you have any other restaurants on suggest with a good romantic ambiance. Thank you in advance.

My rec is Spago. Especially if you are trying to impress a young date -- she probably has heard of Spago so it has great bragging value with her friends. Also likely to see a star or two. Now if she is a foodie who especially loves seafood, maybe Providence, but otherwise to me it is an easy call.
176 North Canon Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 -
I would nix Montage, esp if you care about food.
If you go to Providence and get the full tasting menu, wear something comfortable. It's usu. at around 3.5 hour meal. Seat cushion would be good as well.
No view to speak of at Spago's atrium (not patio if you want to be technically correct). Food is terrific, esp. the chef's menu, although I haven't tried it for years now probably. As to what to wear? Anything that makes you feel comfortable.
I've been to Spago in a suit, and shorts and a tee with sneakers, at dinner and have never felt out of place. Same is true for Providence.
176 North Canon Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 -
Of those choices - Providence. Alcohol is not an issue (but there is an appetizer - like the mojito - that you could subsitute with something else.
My second choice would be Spago. I prefer Providence for the food and hipper, sexier, more sophisticated atmosphere. (Spago I expect to run into my Aunt Rose.) I wear a suit to Providence because for me - that's part of the experience. But dressy casual can work there too. Faded jeans would not be appropriate.
176 North Canon Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210-
re: foodiemahoodie
Disagree strongly. Not with the Providence over Spago notion, I only disagree mildly with that.
Rather <<Faded jeans would not be appropriate.>>
True for foodiemahoodie, but not Ciao Bob. I feel very appropriate in faded (hell, even in elegantly torn) jeans at Providence or Spago.
176 North Canon Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210-
re: Ciao Bob
>>>I feel very appropriate in faded (hell, even in elegantly torn) jeans at Providence or Spago.<<<
Yeah, but you have to wear a blue sport coat, baseball cap from the last movie you produced and Cole & Hahn loafers with no socks to really fit in in your jeans at Providence and Spago :)
I would say go to Spago because I think an 18 year old would feel more comfortable there. I would put Spago in third place for the food behind Studio and Providence, but I still think Spago is a great experience and a great place to take a date without overwhelming them.
176 North Canon Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210
re: KRUKUSA
I am sure they can accomodate your request, but the amuse bouche at Providence often have cocktail names like "mojito ravioli", "greyhound", "margarita" etc, but the bites are so small and the flavors so intense, I can't say if they actually have alcohol in them or not and if they do, the amount is miniscule.
For me:
Spago first. If you have never been you will adore it. The food and setting cannot be beat by any other tasting menu - or restaurant - in town. My last meal in LA will likely be there, as was my first. Spago is more "LA" in that it has a deep history and still a rich present: you may see big celebs, or just the Beverly Hills beaute-ratti, and it is more than likely that Wolfgang Puck will be table-hopping and give you a quick hello that you'll never forget. The memory of the meal at Spago, and the restaurant itself, will outlive the others, by decades.
And I really love the Providence TM (Melisse's too FWIW).
176 North Canon Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 -
Not sure what you mean, "if alcohol is involved". Normally you have to "buy" the wine pairings with the tasting menus, it is not included in the food price. If you mean alcohol in the food, usually it cooks off with any heat that is used to cook the dish, but if you're unsure, you would want to inquire with your server, and request dishes that do not have residual alcohol in them.
As far as dress code, there are only about 2 restaurants that require jackets for men in LA. Spago, Providence & Studio are not one of them, I don't believe. Again, when making the reservation, inquire if there is a dress code. Providence probably has the best food, and Studio has the best view.
176 North Canon Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 -
For food only then Providence full Chef's tasting menu is the way to go. While the patio at Spago is very pretty thefd is no "view" to speak of like there is at Studio. I'll leave it to others to give you fashion advice because I am the last person who ought to advise on that front being so casually dressed that it regularly causes the horses to bolt and makes women and young children run in abject fright...

The Associated Press reports DMX was arrested for allegedly speeding and driving with a suspended license on a Westchester County highway, a week after pleading guilty to plowing through an airport parking gate while on drugs. The 33-year-old rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was pulled over on Interstate 684 at about 9:20 p.m. Wednesday. State Trooper Jeffrey Pitkewitz said he clocked Simmons driving 104 mph in a 65 mph zone.

As the next stop on the Witch Eyes blog tour I have the pleasure of welcoming Scott Tracey to my blog! I met him briefly at a signing at Anderson's Bookshop in Naperville earlier this year. I was also lucky enough to get a signed copy of Witch Eyes at BEA. I was in line with some super awesome YA authors who were dying for copies as well. There have been a lot of great reviews/comments floating around the internet. Even Kirkus was impressed! Way to go Scott! And now for the guest post...
Music Feature: Braden
Braden, the main character in WITCH EYES, has slightly eclectic tastes when it comes to music. So I decided to split this post up a little bit, first talking about the kind of music he listens to, and then giving a few key "Braden" songs that fit with his journey during the course of the book.
So when I say he has slightly eclectic tastes, I mean that he listens to a LOT of pop music, but most of it's remixed. Electronica, dubstep, trance, anything that's been layered and twisted around and made different. He probably spends a lot of time on sites like Soundcloud where DJs can post their remixes of songs.
Now for some specific songs.
Mika - Relax, Take It Easy: The fun, easy, "Braden at home" song. It's peppy and dancey and all the things that Braden would like to be that isn't always the case. He probably listens to a lot of Mika, honestly.
Full Blown Rose - Somebody Help Me: This is my stock "Braden struggling with the weight of the witch eyes" song. "These images burning my eyes, they're burning me up inside," and "I'm not a victim, not a freak" are two particular lines that always stand out to me. But the whole song, really, fits what Braden goes through. He suffers, but he won't allow it to make him a victim. The visions are killing him, basically, but he's not going to keep trying. He's going to push forward, either with some help, or without.
Dangerous Muse - In This Town: Dangerous Muse is good Braden music any day of the week. "Hunting for Witches" was actually on my playlist while writing Witch Eyes. But that song's about communists (I think) not actual witches, so it loses some of it's cool factor. However, In This Town comes with lines like " Watch what you wear, in this town, in this town they'll always see you" and "better watch your back, they're about to attack." It's the perfect song for Braden once he gets to Belle Dam.
Madina Lake - House of Cards: One does not simply walk into Mordor, as the quote goes. This is a song about lying, and secrets, and if there's one thing that Belle Dam is good at, it's keeping secrets. And in trying to unravel those secrets, Braden ends up having to keep some of his own. And he finds that he's got a bit of a knack for lying, which is not normally something that's a good thing.
Thanks Scott. I always love connecting books an music!
When I was at BEA the lovely people from Flux gave me a number of Witch Eyes bookmarks signed by Scott. Now is your chance to win one! Simply comment on this post mentioning one of two things:
1. Why you want to read Witch Eyes
2. A song that reminds you of a book/character and why.
I will use random.org to choose TEN winners. Must be 13 years old or older. Open Internationally. Enter until Sept. 17, 2011. Good Luck!

Nocs NS400 Titanium
Comfortable, classy and capable but beaten by newer rivals
Write your own reviewFor
- Detailed and rhythmic
- Could be a little crisper
Until recently the NS400s have been five-star performers for us. In terms of look and feel, they hit the nail on the head.
They're not the most expensive but the quality metal casing, comfortable fit and subtle in-line mic and three-button remote make them very desirable.
For dynamics and rhythm, these can't really be faulted. Treble sounds clear and distinct, but never harsh, while there's enough grunt in those low frequencies to deliver pounding basslines with gusto.
However, some rivals – such as the Beyerdynamic DTX 101 iEs and Grado iGis – are a little crisper in their delivery.
The Grados, for example, make the NOCS sound a tad boomy in comparison. Which is why we've dropped them from a five to four-star rating.

Dollar Lower? Much Lower?
He said that the dollar only took back 25% of the last move down, which is very weak. It is this weakness that leads him to believe that after a few months of sideways movement the downtrend will resume.
He thinks that by next June the dollar index will be down to 73 and that 67 is a possibility. Bill's chart goes back twenty years and in that time the dollar index has never been close to the number he is looking for.
I am hard pressed to think the fundamentals for the dollar (and keep in mind I do expect a weaker dollar) could lead to such a large drop in such a short time period. Bill's work is obviously technical and not fundamental. He could be right but I think such a big drop works against everyone's interest and so would not be allowed to happen so quickly.
If it does though, how are you positioned? Even if his number turns out to be wrong there is visibility for the call to be correct directionally. I think too many people ignore this entirely and at some point that will be a problem.
I imagine someone will leave a comment calling for a massive dollar decline in one month. That is just not how markets work. Anything is possible, I suppose, but there is probably not much need to manage against some very remote, never happened before outcome. Some exposure to commodities, foreign stocks and foreign bonds is probably enough to weather an outcome that is in the range of normal. As some readers may know I have also added foreign currency exposure too.
On a side note it appears Rick Derrninger has been let go.

I've never felt that markets moved for technical reasons. Instead, markets move for fundamental reasons and technically, the picture shows some kind of map. You don't see anyone talking about a chart saying that company X broke out of a chart formation... oh, and their earnings improved. It's likely to be the other way around.
That being said... it's all about interest rates. And, you're right. It's not in the best interest for anyone if the dollar drops down to those levels. - 9:49 AM
- quints said...
Concerning foreign stocks, I think the dollar will drop and the US economy will weaken to at least a mild recession. Given both conditions, how do you think international equities would do. Yes the dollar drop would make them look good, but the weakness in the US (if it comes to pass) would probably trump that and those stocks would suffer. Do you agree?

Do you have any suggestions on funds that benefit from a weakening dollar?

NEW YORK -- The annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade kicked off in New York on Thursday, putting a festive mood in the air in a city still coping with the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
The young, and the young at heart, were delighted by the sight and sound of marching bands, performers and, of course, the giant balloons. The weather was a sunny 47 degrees. Some parade-goers had camped out to get a good spot, staying snug in sleeping bags. Others came well-prepared with folding chairs.
Airports, train stations and highways remained busy Thursday as people made their way home to reconnect with family and friends for Thanksgiving - though some reunions might be bittersweet because of the damage and displacement caused by Superstorm Sandy.
For some, the once-sacrosanct harvest feast now starts the holiday shopping season - and store openings keep getting earlier. Black Friday started on Thanksgiving Day itself at many national stores, and some shoppers raced from their dinner tables to line up for bargains, delaying their second helpings until they've purchased the latest toys or electronic devices.
The popular Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, attended by more than 3 million people and watched by 50 million on TV, includes such giant balloons as Elf on a Shelf and Papa Smurf, a new version of Hello Kitty, Buzz Lightyear, Sailor Mickey Mouse and the Pillsbury Doughboy. Real-life stars were to include singer Carly Rae Jepsen and Rachel Crow of "The X Factor."
Other cities planned to have showy marching bands, cartoon character balloons and musical extravaganzas, as well. Chicago, Philadelphia and Detroit were among the big cities hosting parades.
Among the scheduled highlights were a Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey spectacular in Chicago; Phillies star Ryan Howard and Miss America 2012 Laura Kaeppeler in Philadelphia; and a group of 2012 U.S. Olympic champions in Detroit.
The holiday came as portions of the Northeast still were reeling from Sandy's havoc, and volunteers planned to serve thousands of turkey dinners to people it left homeless or struggling.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said his office would coordinate the distribution of 26,500 meals at 30 sites in neighborhoods affected by Sandy, and other organizations also were pitching in.
The Long Beach Surf Association and a charity called Surf for All were sponsoring a Thanksgiving dinner in the Long Island community of Long Beach.
U.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks, whose New York district includes the heavily battered Rockaways neighborhoods, said he planned to stop by Thanksgiving dinners at three churches and a school.
"They are still giving thanks," Meeks said of his constituents. "They are thankful that they're alive and thankful to the people who are coming to help them."
Some used social media to coordinate Thanksgiving volunteering. Elle Aichele, of Toms River, N.J., started a Facebook page called Hurricane Sandy Thanksgiving Adopt a Family for Dinner.
"Please host a family that needs something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!" she wrote. "I have been thinking about what I can do to help and this is it!"
For some travelers, the need to stretch their money dictated how they were to arrive at their destinations.
Ashlee Denaro, 35, of Irvine, Calif., was at Los Angeles International Airport Wednesday with her three children. The divorced woman had flown to Salt Lake City to pick up the children from her ex-spouse for a flight back to Southern California.
To economize, Denaro, a physical therapist, flew to Phoenix, changed planes for Salt Lake City, then returned to LAX instead of landing at her local Orange County airport. She then planned to drive an hour to Irvine.
The circuitous route saved her $500 on plane fare.
A Pennsylvania Turnpike service plaza just outside Pittsburgh was packed early Wednesday afternoon, with occasional lines of cars waiting for gas.
Linda Lapp-Stout, 64, was traveling from Cleveland to see family in Parkesburg, between Philadelphia and Lancaster. Lapp-Stout, who has driven a school bus for 32 years, said she was thankful for the holiday break and the warm weather, but she was worried about the economy.
"It's hard to even afford gas," she said.
Landscape designer Anne Murphy, of Gorham, Maine, was waiting for an Amtrak train at Boston's South Station as she and her husband, Ken, headed for Thanksgiving dinner in Gibbsboro, N.J. She said she travels smarter by searching for deals online, using cheaper airports farther from home and packing fewer bags to avoid baggage fees.
"I think we probably travel a little bit less because of costs, but we've definitely traveled more public transportation in order to save on gas," said Murphy, 56.

Adolescents with antisocial personality disorder inflict serious physical and psychological harm on both themselves and others. However, little is yet known about the underlying neural processes. Researchers at the University of Leiden and the Max Planck Institute for Human Development have pinpointed a possible explanation: Their brain regions responsible for social information processing and impulse control are less developed.
Community levels of air pollution significantly reduce physical activity levels in Americans according to a new study published in PLOS One. The association of air pollution with physical inactivity was particularly strong in normal weight individuals as opposed to obese people. The study, carried out by researchers in the Uniformed Services University and The Unites States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine, correlated levels of airborne pollutants including particulate matter and ozone with leisure-time physical inactivity in adult Americans.
Traumatic brain injury is a risk factor for epilepsy, though the relationship is not understood. A new study in mice, published in Cerebral Cortex, identifies increased levels of a specific neurotransmitter as a contributing factor connecting traumatic brain injury (TBI) to post-traumatic epilepsy. The findings suggest that damage to brain cells called interneurons disrupts neurotransmitter levels and plays a role in the development of epilepsy after a traumatic brain injury.
Even the mildest form of a traumatic brain injury, better known as a concussion, can deal permanent, irreparable damage. Now, an interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania is using mathematical modeling to better understand the mechanisms at play in this kind of injury, with an eye toward protecting the brain from its long-term consequences.
Destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas is at the heart of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. "We are looking for ways to make new beta cells for these patients to one day replace daily insulin injections," says Ben Stanger, MD, PhD, assistant professor of Medicine in the Division of Gastroenterology, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Transplanting islet cells to restore normal blood sugar levels in patients with severe type 1 diabetes is one approach to treating the disease, and using stem cells to create beta cells is another area of investigation. However, both of these strategies have limitations: transplantable islet cells are in short supply, and stem cell-based approaches have a long way to go before they reach the clinic.
Researchers at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) and Vanderbilt University have created the most detailed 3-D picture yet of a membrane protein that is linked to learning, memory, anxiety, pain and brain disorders such as schizophrenia, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and autism.
