How difficult is it to get back on plan?
I am just curious how difficult it is for you to get back on plan once you have been off. And also what happens when you do go off plan and then go back on. Do you binge and then afterwards get right back on? I just would like to know what other people's experiences are or have been like with going off and on plan.
I have been OFF Plan for almost a whole year now :dunno: don't ask me WHY... but I just started eating kinda Regular I THOUGHT... and all of a sudden I realize I am 30lbs Overweight!!! I was like Oooooooh My God!!! I had to come back!!! and I am Sooooooo Happy I did!!! :jumpjoy: I have lost 5lbs since Friday! LOL! and that was 3 days ago!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!! just make up your mind that YOU are ready and Go For It Baby!!! Im Cheering For You!!!!! :high5:
I will typically eat off plan every two to three weeks, but never for more than one day--and I have never had any difficulty immediately getting back on plan.
The longest I was every off plan was early in my serious low-carbing (about 7 years ago) when my endo prescribed a Glucose Tolerance Test. Because I'd been very low carb for a long time, I needed to eat high carb for 3 days prior to the test for the results to be accurate.
I assumed that those three days would bring on cravings and my insatiable appetite, and I was prepared for that. But,surprisingly, that did NOT happen. I had the test on a Monday morning, and immediately afterwards I was back on plan with no problems whatsoever--and no ill effects from those 'carby' days.
I have wondered since that experience whether some of the difficulties people have in getting back on plan are more psychological than physical.
However, since that time, I've never been off plan for more than a single day.
I do low-carb primal JUDDD.*
One of the things I like best about this way of eating is how easy it is to get back on plan.
When I first started eating low-carb several years ago, I was impressed at how much better and different I felt. Primal just upped those feelings. BUT...
I still went off plan occasionally, and had a hard time getting back on plan. Sometimes for days, sometimes MONTHS!
JUDDD has completely changed that. (I hope- 5 months in, and it FEELS very different.) I think, because, in a way, you are going off plan every other day. Now, when I eat something I shouldn't, I have no problems getting right back with it. I am even able to talk myself out of 'treats' much more often than I used to.
I have gone off plan in two ways over the past months: eating way more than I should, but of 'good' food, and eating 'bad' food, that isn't good for my body.
With both incidences, I am able to just swing back into the plan with my next Down Day. Often, I am even looking forward to the Down Day- it does not seem like a 'punishment', just a natural and welcome reaction.
I LOVE it. I feel so in control. And...I'm losing weight. More than I ever have before. It feels as though I can ride this train to the end. I am not regarding my weight loss as a fluke any more. It feels REAL!
*JUDDD- Alternate Day 'Fasting', with one day of high calories, one day of very low or no calories, alternated.
*Primal- lots of details, but essentially: NO GRAINS.
*Low-carb for me means fewer than 100grams of carbohydrate per day.
I'm terrible. I binge and binge and eat and drink and have no care about my health or weight all the way to being depressed. Then I find myself in the situation I'm in now: bad gut, and back to the beginning.
Not happening again!
My motivation is different now, though. It's not about the weight, but about eating in a way to control my diabetes. I want to never have to take meds again and have to admit that my most recent A1c of 4.9 is a *big* incentive to stay on target. I still do worry what will happen if I cave in to just that one bite though. :sad:
When I ate off plan, it was all junk food. I became a total emotional mess. Crying, anger, the works. I last a little less than a week and got back on board. I will not do it again.
It's all a head game with me. If I splurge, and am still 'in my game', I can jump right back on plan with the next day. If I'm not, then Oh My !!!
I'm with llisarray. It depends where my head is. A pre planned indulgence with parameters works better. When we road tripped a few weeks ago, we stopped at KFC. I knew I was likely going to have one meal off plan. I also told myself no grains / gluten. Usually when we road trip I have iced Capp and tons of timbits and go to the grocery and stock up on every American junk food I can find. This time, I got nothing except my LC wish list. I let the kids choose one goodie each.
As for KFC? I got 2 pcs of cheesecake and a diet pop. Ditched the crust. Delicious . I had a few almonds when we got back in the car, and have been 100% on plan since :) even with that cheesecake, my carbs were still under 50 for the day and instead of being an ostrich I actually looked up the counts n logged my lunch in the app I use :)
I'm an all or nothing, kind of person, I'm either being very "good" or very "bad". After a "bad" day, I don't want to get out of bed in the morning, because I feel bloated, fat and yucky :sad:
I don't usually go more than two days off track, because I can't stand how the sugar, carbs, whatever make me feel. I'll usually do 3 -4 days of meat, eggs, to detox to get back into the swing.
The way this WOE works for me, if I don't have off plan foods, I don't want them. This was the most surprising thing about it and I can never convince people who haven't tried it that I honestly LOVE bread and the like, I just don't want it anymore. I can sit right in front of a big old basket of warm crusty bread and still not want it. I can have potato chips in the house and not be tempted to eat them.
But, if I have even a taste of off plan foods, I begin to crave them the way I did before. I will derail quite easily. I can get right back to plan but then I have to battle cravings for a few days and I hate that. So now, I just don't go off plan.
I usually think it will be tough, so I give myself some leeway--days off or meals off, but then it's much easier to just stay strict on plan and I feel sooo awesome when I'm very low carb right away, so I just stick with it.
I've never been "off plan" in the past se several years but have had many off plan meals , weeks or breaks . I felt completely positive and enjoyed them all. Getting back on plan was was as simple as going off plan. Simple food choices
If I decide to eat off plan, I eat one serving that's not on plan, and get right back on plan. I don't binge (binging hasn't been one of my issues), and I don't have a problem getting back on plan.
I think long and hard about it beforehand, enjoy the heck out of it while I'm eating it, and don't regret it afterward. It also happens very rarely, like a couple of times per year.
I am going off plan for a serving of homemade ice cream in mid-August. I am feeling confident right now that it will be ok, I'll go right back on plan for my evening meal. Binging is not my issue, it's more of falling into the path of least resistance, and exceptions being too frequent. I believe my head is in an Ok place for now to go back on plan, but that has certainly not always been the case.
If I am off plan for a while, it takes a lot of self persuasion to put my mind around having to start LC but this is true for any weight loss program. Hence, my restart 4 times in the past 10 years. For some reason, this time around has been easier for me.
I did go off plan for the 2nd time in 7 months for only one meal this past Saturday night. I always reward myself with a yummy LC meal to get right back on board.
I hope I have the strength and the ability to stay on plan until I get all the extra weight off...
Now, I am going on Christmas to visit the family in Spain...Recipe for disaster
We sort of go "off plan" every Saturday, sometimes it carries over to Sunday. Usually with something that we are craving or for a special occasion or the after Church lunch eating out. I'm just used to getting back on track first thing Monday with no processed foods and clean eating.
I have been pleasantly surprised lately that both DH and Mom look forward to Monday and getting back on track. I haven't had to force anything, they are both just seeing the rewards from eating well.
The good thing about that is that my plan isn't really calorie specific, it's just my preference for easy losing. So when I overeat it is no big deal, since it is on-plan foods. That helps to keep me sane and in control long term - even if I overdo it or have a splurge, I will never quit or give up, so it's all just time. I get right back on plan and keep on walking :)
I take a break from low carb when I travel which is typically one weekend a month, but sometimes it is longer. I don't have any problems getting back on low carb and I do it as soon as I get home.
Of course I do realize that my low carb breaks are probably what is keeping me from losing these last 15 pounds, but I am not willing to give them up and honestly, I don't know if I could stay low carb forever without them.

Boxing Day links: Bad garages make bad neighbors
Thank you for sharing this. As I recall seeing an old building coated with an ad for the iPad 2 near 10th and K Streets NW, I wonder whether such a ban has ever been considered by the D.C. Council.
However, to put this matter into perspective, if you look at old photos of commercial areas in D.C. or elsewhere, you see how businesses would paint their signs on the sides of their buildings. Traces of some of these signs are visible today.
by The Civic Center on Dec 26, 2011 3:04 pm • link • report
I wonder just how close the parking garage will be in Bethesda--usually there are many post 9-11 regs about the placement of federal buildings. Given that the defense mapping agency was also a spy agency, I think the neighbors are ramping up the paranoia a bit much. Some new buildings might make the campus look better than it does now.
CABI made a lot of money in the last year in overage fees. Off the top of my head, about 800K. I strongly suspect that the large majority of that came from tourists. Between my GF and I, we are responsible for $3 in overage fees in the past year, and I suspect that is typical of most annual members.
Selling CABI swag to tourists could be a revenue stream.

Gawker Media honcho Nick Denton says the Yahoo syndication deal signed in November is lapsing. Why? Not enough traffic, a mismatch in audiences, and maybe, just maybe, Gawker site Valleywag's constant harping on Yahoo exec Lloyd Braun.
Coincidentally, Denton says the bottom-of-post Google AdSense text links, which the company has been testing on Gizmodo, are performing well enough to integrate further across the network.

Defensively, teams have not been able to run the ball real well against USU. Look at the rushing stats on both sides of the ball from all three games to prove my point.
What is the Aggies' perceived weakness?
Lewis: Weakness appears to be special team's coverage, and mistakes in special teams.
Stucki: Perceived weaknesses are the passing defense and special teams.
Who are the Aggies' play-makers and team leaders?
Lewis: Playmakers are Robert Turbin, Michael Smith, Kerwyn Williams, Chuckie Keeton, Bobby Wagner and Levi Koskan. They are the leaders too, but it's mostly Turbin and Wagner's team.
Stucki: The Aggie offense is full of playmakers. Chuckie Keeton, Robert Turbin, RB Michael Smith, WR Chuck Jacobs, and WR Matt Austin.
Defensively look at Bobby Wagner. Linebacker Kyle Gallagher will make a bunch of tackles and defensive end/linebacker Levi Koskan will probably get a few tackles for loss.
What are the keys to the game for USU to be successful?
Lewis: The keys to success are no mistakes in special teams and making defensive plays behind the line of scrimmage.
Stucki: Dominate the running game on both sides of the ball, win the turnover battle, and don't let Heaps beat you with the pass.
Who do you think wins and give us a score?
Lewis: USU 30, BYU 21
Stucki: USU 31, BYU 21.
Who do you think will be the game's MVP?
Lewis: Turbin with three touchdowns and 125 yards rushing.
Stucki:Game MVP is Robert Turbin.
Anything else BYU fans should know about this USU team?
Lewis: Gary Andersen loves to play vs the Cougars. He gets fired up as a former Ute and now an Aggie coach. But he knows how good this BYU program is.
Stucki: Aggie fans hate BYU. Zoobs are fairweather fans and have an innate ability to take pro-BYU propaganda and bathe themselves in it.

Real-life couple Alex & Sierra not only won the third (and ultimately final) season of The X Factor USA – they stole the whole show.
From the moment this duo took the stage with a stripped down version of Britney Spears' "Toxic," it was clear: this was the act to beat. Now, they're prepping to release a debut album filled with brand new, original tracks. Among them: The duo's debut single "Scarecrow," which they performed on the Today show earlier this summer, and "Bumper Cars," which debuted on Monday.
PICS: Cute Couples Go Glam for the Grammys
The Florida natives stopped by ET's Los Angeles studio recently for a chat about all things music, relationships and songwriting.
Alex & Sierra open up about writing a new song with John Legend just as "All of Me" became a smash hit and about how their relationship has changed since auditioning for Simon Cowell's reality competition.
"It hasn't really changed at all," Sierra Deaton mused. "I guess we see each other more often."
Alex Kinsey was excited about one particular perk of their new lifestyle. "We get to go to a few more nice dinners than we used to," he said with a smile.
But when it comes to mixing business and pleasure, the couple says they are just happy to be making a living together with what they love.
"We work really hard, but it's such a fun thing to be doing together," said Sierra. "It'd be really hard to, just as soon as we leave, get in an argument over something 'cause we've just had so much fun."
We decided to put their love to the test with a Newlywed Game-style interview. So just how well do these lovebirds know each other? Watch the video above to find out. Below, ETonline has exclusive video of the duo performing their new song acoustically.
"'Bumper cars' is a song about trying to make a relationship work, but the stronger the effort, the further you push the other person away from you," the couple told ET. "It's a back and forth tug of war. It's about fighting through tough times and putting together the pieces of something that means the world to you."
The song was written by Steve Mac and Claude Kelly, and produced by the former. It will be featured on their album It's About Us, out October 7. Compare the acoustic version to the studio recording, below. What do you think of the new song?

Worst Car Dealership n town so far!
Internet ads show a price to get you on their lot.
They fail to mention that the noted "reconditioning fee" for every used car is $2995.00!!!! They just tag that right onto the Internet pricing.

Stay away from Centennial Mazda.

By all means Stay Away from this dealership.
They use the old bait and switch.

The following reviews are over two years old - their ratings are not used to calculate the dealer's current aggregated ratings.
While I would have liked an internet price quote, the internet sales person explained she lacked all the info I inputted into Edmunds site about the car I desired. Later, I visited the lot and had a positive experience.
They valued my time and didn't beat around the bush with a bottom line and fair ...

"This is so good. Once I started reading, I couldn't stop. Like a good romance novel, only this tale is true." ~ Darlene Schacht of Time-Warp Wife.
(*Here's Chapter 7 of An Uncommon Love – our true-life love story. If you're new here, you can catch up with Chapt. One, Chapt. Two, Chapt.Three, Chapt. Four, Chapt.Five, and Chapt. Six.)
So now you know about the phonecall.
And what he said to his good friend, Greg.
I mean, about declaring that he'd met the woman he was going to marry and all that.
So Greg knows.
And you know.
But you realize that there's still someone who didn't know….
Um, yes, that would be me. I was still left wondering.
He loves me…he loves me not. He loves me…
He loves me not . . . ?
The Clock is Ticking
I wouldn't want to put unnecessary pressure on the guy, but we only had 8 days, remember?
We met on Friday night. Did absolutely nothing on Saturday and Sunday.
Went to dinner together on Monday night.
Now we were already on Tuesday.
And I was flying back down to L.A. on Friday. Our clock was ticking. Ticking loudly as far as I was concerned.
On Tuesday morning I went out for coffee with a close friend of mine. We had both been single at Seminary, but she was married now and I had been a bridesmaid in her wedding (which should come as no surprise).
So we ordered our grande lattes at Starbucks down Hawthorne Street and I told her all about it.
About him, actually.
She let me gush on and on. About how I'd met him at the dinner party and how I believed that he was the man I'd marry. And how we'd been to dinner the night before. And how he'd asked me to accompany him to some isolated island off the coast of Canada.
She suspected that I might be in love. Imagine!
Then I tried to describe him to her. How charming and godly and interesting and funny and, well, good-looking I found him.
I searched for all the words.
But then I looked up and realized that all I needed to do was point to him. Because, sure enough, there he was. Right in front of us.
No, really. I'm not making this up.
We sat at a table looking out on the street and there he was slowly driving past us. The very man!
What was he doing there? And why was he roaming the Hawthorne District?
He couldn't have possibly have known that I would be there too. And, yet, what would bring us both to this same quaint spot in this small corner of Portland?
A mystery.
And I grew uncertain as to whether I liked all this Mystery . . . or not.
A Romantic Lunch for Two
Matthew had arranged for us to have lunch that day at the historic Edgefield Manor, a county poor farm built in 1911 which had since been turned into a destination resort for the Pacific Northwest.
Poor farm, no more.
Now the Manor was a gorgeous spot for a romantic lunch and we were just the couple for it.
He pulled our chairs in close together and we immediately picked up where we'd left off the night before. I felt there was a new ease and depth in our conversation and I was ready for it. We jumped from one topic to another, sometimes both speaking at once. Laughing. Teasing.
But then the conversation turned toward how we had each spent our morning. It was easy to say where I'd been and how I'd enjoyed catching up with my girlfriend at the café. But what about him? What had he been up to?
And that's when there was this sudden awkwardness. An inexplicable silence.
I couldn't contain my curiosity any longer and blurted out, So what were you doing in the Hawthorne District this morning anyway?
More of a demand than a question.
He looked a bit surprised. Almost as if he'd been caught.
For a moment neither of us said a word.
Then he reached into his pocket and pulled out a beautifully wrapped gift-box and handed it to me.
Apparently, his idea of an explanation of sorts.
For me?
(Dumb question, Lisa. Ugh.)
He didn't answer but only quietly watched as I opened up the delicate little box.
I carefully lifted the lid and there in front of me was a most unexpected present.
1,000 Ways to Win Her Heart
So are you ready for this?
The box held an exquisite bottle of 1000 By Jean Patou. A rather expensive perfume with the most lovely scent of rich, fresh-cut flowers. A "little something" he had picked up at The Perfume House on Hawthorne Street.
A little something, alright.
This was a new move and it was bold.
And I don't mean the perfume at this point. I'm referring to the man. What guy goes all out and offers such a daring gift? What if I didn't like perfume? Or what if this simply wasn't to my taste?
A risk-taker.
Yet another word to add to my growing description of this mysterious man.
So what did it all mean? Did his little gift really mean anything at all? Maybe that was just him and he often went around giving girls a small bottle of pricey perfume.
How could I know??
Rather than feeling confident, his small surprise made me feel even less secure. Especially as it was unaccompanied by any declaration of love.
Where were the words to go with such a gift?
He seemed to be able to talk about nearly everything else: books, music, architecture, travels, and, oh yes, now perfume. But not about me. Or to put it more bluntly: how he felt about me.
And my need to hear it was growing by the day.
No, by the hour. Because we only had Wednesday and Thursday left now.
His silence on the subject of "us" was beginning to get to me.
We quietly parted ways after our long lunch together. But before leaving, he suggested that maybe the following day we could….?
But I suppose that's his part of the story to tell.
To be continued . . . . See you next Wednesday for Chapter Eight then?

This pair came from our last trip to France. It is a set of wonderful hammered copper back shields, with sturdy candle holders. Each has an extra groove for a hurricane or similar shade. There are also holes in the back that will allow electrification if desired. These pieces have great detail and are nicely weathered. There is a beaded rim and a nice shell design at the top. Condition is very good, nice weathered patina, and some small spots of gilt loss. I can see these on a California porch or entry! Measurements are: 16 1/4" by 11" back shield, 6" deep.

Drudge wants you to sleepSubmitted by twentycharacters on Thu, 03/22/2012 - 04:01
Did ya see the Drudge headline?:
Sorry Drudge/America/France, you will have to do better than that. Anyone want to bet this is a false flag to help spread fear of terrorism? Why does the guy want to surrender at night to 'be discreet'? When do negotiators "explode charges to intimidate the suspect"? The last time I checked, special ops police crews would have the situation handled already. You have a higher chance of getting hit by a car than killed by a terrorist:
and if you are a conservative:
Private property and civilians are NOT the target according to the stats. Military personnel and Diplomatic agencies.....HRMMMMM that means.......*light bulb*......GOVERNMENTS are what pisses other nations off. So the idea of blowback CAN be real?
Look, everyday I make a calculated risk to get behind the wheel of a car and drive. I accept that risk because it is REASONABLE. Do terrorists scare me? Of course, but I have to take a calculated risk to go about my day not worrying about it. I accept that risk because it is REASONABLE. We must stop being afraid of everything. You may die at any point during this thing called life. It happens. But my god, do not let fear control you.
So this, at least to me, seems like an attempt at propaganda. Yes, we have sociopaths running the show. They sacrifice a few kids at school to achieve their means and convince the population to get angry. I refuse to fall for it again: The Lusitania, Pearl Harbor is coming out as a setup, "Gulf of Tonkin" incident to spawn Vietnam, The war on drugs, and back to good ole' Iran when we removed the Shah in the 50's. We have a hand in everything around the world. Let's go fight the [insert evil enemy here] and save the people of [insert foreign country here] or help them realize democracy.
I am now awake and I see through their disgusting plan. You will not manipulate me into selling out humanity any more. Just as technology has given us the power of free information (internet), innovation will set us free from our own bonds. The free market system will find a way to elevate humanity into an enlightened era.
Besides, there are more things to be afraid of.........like Ninjas!

Drudge sucks!
He loves Romney.
Haven't seen a drudge ad that wasn't .gov in . . .
Thanks for the two articles
We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.
-George Orwell
It's probably not a false
It's probably not a false flag. It's probably another crazed loner who does identify himself with Al Qaeda. Europe doesn't have school shootings, we have these cases. They all claim some political cause, usually wildly different ones, but the real cause is usually schitzofrenia.
It's been happening quite a lot all over, that's disturbing.
But I agree, we should be very afraid of the ninjas.. They are radical buddhists Santorum's preacher warned us about after all!

The funniest thing I read all week was an announcement by the Schools Secretary, Ed Balls, that every secondary school pupil should have the right to learn an "up-and-coming" – that is, economically significant – language.
The Government is anxious to encourage primary schools to offer such hitherto exotic subjects as Japanese and Arabic from next year, when language study will become compulsory for all seven-year-olds, but Mr Balls seems particularly keen on Mandarin. "In this new decade our ties with emerging economies like China will become even more important and it's vital that young people are equipped with the skills they need, and British business needs too, in order to succeed in a rapidly changing world." he declared. "A growing number of schools are now teaching Mandarin and in the coming years I think we will see this subject sitting alongside French, Spanish and German as one of the most popular languages for young people to learn."
By chance, this statement coincided with several proofs of quite how poor the quality of local secondary education has now become. According to the East Anglian Daily Times, education chiefs have recently written to every headteacher in Suffolk drawing their attention to below-par exam results. The Eastern Daily Press, meanwhile, revealed that in the Great Yarmouth area only 44 per cent of 11-year-olds taking SATs had achieved level four in reading, writing and maths. All this suggests that Mr Balls and his advisers ought to pay more attention to basic educational standards rather than eye-catching peripherals. But, if Mandarin is set to sweep the curriculum in the next decade, I can think of a few specimen sentences which children should be encouraged to learn. How about: "The Chinese government is extremely corrupt and autocratic"? Or: "It is a disgrace that Chinese citizens are denied basic human rights." Or even: "The execution of Akmal Shaikh would not have happened in a civilised country."
The book I most enjoyed reading in the first week of 2009 was The Fallen, Dave Simpson's intriguing study of the large number of musicians who, in the band's 33-year history, have played in The Fall, only to fall out, as it were, with the irascible frontman Mark E Smith. Now, exactly a year later, up rolls the paperback, decorated with an arresting puff – or rather anti-puff – from the man himself. "I fucking hate that twat," Smith remarks, presumably of the author. "I've just fucking burnt it." As for Mr Simpson's offence, well, it consists of allowing more than 40 bass players, guitarists and drummers to disclose just how fraught a business it was to make music with Mark E, here revealed as a control freak to end all control freaks and a man who delighted in turning up the amplifiers when they ought to have been turned down, and vice versa.
While accepting that The Fallen contains quite a bit of score-settling, I have never quite understood why so many writers, artists and musicians are so deeply reluctant to have things printed about them that happen to be true. There is an explosive moment in Anthony Powell's diary from 1991 when Powell, having been sent a copy of Kingsley Amis's newly published memoirs, discovers that Amis has included their brisk exchange from 1973 on the death of W H Auden. "Rather a blow," Amis volunteers. "I'm delighted that shit has gone," Powell is represented as lobbing back. According to Powell, this was a private remark "not to be repeated in a book".
But why, if Powell felt so strongly about Auden, disliked his poetry and deplored his flight to America at the start of the Second World War, should he object to the rest of us knowing about it? And why, if he didn't want his contempt for Auden to become public, did he sound off in the presence of Amis, a man who, experience should have told him, was exactly the kind of person who would report the remark? The same point about reaping and sowing, or indeed about truth, applies to Mark E Smith and his hapless minions. If your career as the leader of the rock band is based on annoying your sidesmen, you shouldn't be surprised if they want a little of their own back.
With the Conservatives' lead in the opinion polls hovering at 11 per cent, and another gaggle of Labour malcontents raising heads above the parapet, one could be forgiven for thinking that the result of this year's general election is a foregone conclusion. The people I always feel sorry for at these times are not the party leaders, or harassed MPs, but the subsidiary figures, apparatchiks who have invested so much emotional energy in the party predicted to lose that the election campaign is one long pageant of psychological concealment and resolute denial.
To read the entries in the late Woodrow Wyatt's copious journals for the first few months of 1997, as the Tories slipped rapidly down the conveyor belt to political oblivion, is to encounter a pundit whose optimism, in the face of ever more alarming circumstance, seems very nearly insane. On 17 March he notes that "John [Major] will see tomorrow morning from my article in The Times that I believe he will win." A month later, with Labour's poll lead at stratospheric heights, he writes: "I still believe the pollsters can be wrong and there may be an upset when people come to their senses." Even at an election night party he can be found assuring his friend Paul Johnson, "I don't think it'll be quite as bad as the first projections show."
There is no shame in this kind of self-deception, of course, but you imagine that the members of Mr Brown's Cabinet are even now trying desperately to get out of the worst job in British politics – sitting next to David Dimbleby in the hours after the polls close and explaining why they lost.
My first reaction to the news that Islam4UK's leader Anjem Choudary is keen to march through Wootton Bassett in Wiltshire at the head of a procession of empty coffins – symbolising the deaths of Afghan civilians at allied hands – was a profound exasperation. This was tempered – eventually – by the thought that the point about living in a free society is that unpopular opinions have a right to be heard in it. Naturally, there are times when this principle can be hard to uphold.
For example, most readers of Anne Chisholm's recent biography of the Bloomsbury diarist Frances Partridge, inset above, will be constantly gritting their teeth at some of the attitudes on display. Mrs Partridge's pacifism – she spent the Second World War in remote Wiltshire – brooks no denial. America's entry into the war in 1941 fills her with despair. The only crime apparently committed by Lord Haw-Haw, the traitor William Joyce who made inflammatory broadcasts from Berlin, is "to utter his sincere views". Even as the Panzer hordes swept west across Europe she seems to have believed that the whole thing could have been solved by rational discussion. At least Mrs Partridge kept her opinions to her diary. You feel that Mr Choudary is less concerned with war's innocent victims than with trying to make a nuisance of himself, while drawing attention's to liberalism's classic limitation – the fact that we are expected to tolerate the activities of people who, if manoeuvred into positions of power, would very soon cease to tolerate us.
With the children still off school and the streets impassable, much of last week has been spent walking the dog through tundra. At the risk of turning up in Private Eye's Pseuds Corner, to embark on one of these Winterreisen is to think of art. D H Lawrence once suggested that snow lying on a hill looks like "muscle" – not one of his better similes. I never wander along a frost-bound path without recalling Jack London's short story To Build A Fire, in which a tenderfoot walking the Yukon trail at minus 75F makes the mistake of lighting a fire beneath a tree that sheds its load of snow on top of him. He freezes to death.
Real-life experience of snow can be just as elemental. Skiing once in Switzerland, my aunt decided to take a country walk. During her stroll she was joined by what looked like a large alsatian dog. This tracked her for several miles through lonely back roads in the gathering dusk. Eventually, they reached the outskirts of the village. My aunt, turning to watch the animal disappear back into the undergrowth, then realised it was a wolf.

As autumn approaches and the leaves begin to turn, it is a great time to travel to enjoy decent weather, especially when the heat of summer has gone. It is still reliably sunny and it is romantic to walk under the magnificent display of colour of oaks, beeches, and chestnuts.
Six great places to travel in September are:
Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey. Situated at the shortest distance of sea-crossing between Europe and Asia, the city forms the largest urban agglomeration in Europe. In September, it is an exciting place to see hundreds of thousands of raptors and storks flying south towards Africa for the season of winter. The Camlic Hills and the waterfront of the city are good bird-spotting locations. The night scene of Istanbul is noted as animated and unparalleled.
Combining the massive crowds of August with the muggy days, a visit to Istanbul during the peak months might not be wise, but during September things get quite a bit better. Days are warm but rarely too hot, and there's still not much rain to worry about.
Putting up in Istanbul hotels may be expensive, but there are several hotels which offer discounts. There are websites such as Trip Advisor which offer a listing of several hotels in the city. These hotels are guaranteed to fit your budget and that too without sacrificing any comfort.
Eastern Canada
To experience the spectacle of changing leaves, make your trip in the second half of the month of September. Several cruise lines are available such as Holland America, Crystal, Princess, Norwegian and Carnival. Taking a four to ten days cruise will be a life enriching experience for you. Bus tour of Eastern Canada is also quite popular. If are like driving, simply drive up to Niagara Falls. Iceberg Alley will definitely fascinate you. Get to know how it feels to see the world's highest tides, which reach as high as 50 feet, in the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick.
Canadian hotels are identified as comfy as well as high standard. The highest cleanliness can be expected from coast-to-coast hotels given that the travel and leisure market is definitely an essential part of Canada's economic climate. The hotels here are required to meet quality specifications simply because of the strict wellness restrictions in Canada.
Europe is also popular in the fall, again because there are fewer crowds. If you are visiting an area in the Mediterranean, the water is usually still warm enough for swimming or snorkelling. London, Paris, Venice, Edinburgh, Dublin, Barcelona, Rome and the Greek Isles are some of the most famous places in Europe. Tours, Cruises or train packages between each city is the best to opt to visit the different cities. Europe in particular really opens up with some great deals in cities that actually have their best weather of the year at the end of summer. Airfares get lower and hotels and hostels get cheaper and easier to find, so this is really perfect if you've got the time off.
In London, which is the most famous of the European places, have several hotels in different parts of the city. There are super luxury hotels as well as affordable and hotels. Among the several types of London accommodations, the Shaftesbury hotels are the premier kinds which also offer services at quite affordable rates. Since it is a very expensive city, you are advised to go for London accommodation which provide the ultimate comfortable services but at reasonable rates.
Prague, Czech Republic
Another city where "great weather" might be a stretch during September is Prague. The first half of September is actually quite nice, with very little rainfall, so it's the perfect time of year to visit unless you like to bundle up during the day.
Prague is the City of a Hundred Spires, a UNESCO monument. It is also one of the most fascinating cities in this planet. Prague Castle is the most prominent tourist attraction. Set on a hill, it affords visitors fine views over the whole city. With immensely beautiful locations, it is quite cheap compared to other European cities that aren't half as lovely or charming. Hotels in particular can be expensive so it's best to book early to lock in something in a good neighbourhood if you can.
Lisbon, Portugal
If you want to visit the beautiful city of Lisbon, September is the best month. It has warm days and really very pleasant evenings and almost nil rainfall. As the temperature starts cooling off as well after the summer, sightseeing becomes a very pleasurable experience. Perhaps, Lisbon has the finest year-round climate in entire Europe, so there's really no bad time to go. There is a unique hostel culture in the city. This hostel culture has grown to be extremely popular and thus a favourite for that kind of tourists who are basically backpackers.
Madrid, Spain
Madrid of Spain witnesses a huge number of tourists in September. After the extreme hot summer, September is the best time to visit Madrid. It can be said that the weather of September is almost perfect having warm days and nights which are very pleasant. Rainfall is not at all a thing to be concerned of. It must be noted here that in Madrid hotel rates actually fall in the months of July and August, and start rising again in September, so booking early is recommended if you want a good bargain at a well located place. Hostels here can be great value, though some can be a bit shabby so it's best to research before booking.
Visiting Madrid does not come cheaply and it would be great if you can find a hotel that can accommodate your budget. Check Trip Advisor and browse the listings for hotels in Madrid.
Choose the venue for your next September vacation and plan it accordingly. Don't forget your camera and hadycam to capture some of the best moments of your life.

Barton: 'Decent People Find [Homosexuality] Absolutely Reprehensible and Disgusting'
On yesterday's program, David Barton asserted that one way to win the fight against gay rights is to start talking about how "reprehensible" homosexuality is going into graphic details on the theory that it will gross people out and educate them about what is really going on.
On today's broadcast, dedicated to discussing the possibility that the Boy Scouts might lift the ban on gay scouts and/or scout leaders, Barton and co-host Rick Green again asserted that as part of this battle, anti-gay activists need to inform people about how "reprehensible and disgusting" homosexuality really is:
Green: Just yesterday on the program with Father Frank, you were describing at the end of the program just like what Representative [Bill] Dannemeyer had read on the House floor in describing just how graphically disgusting these activities are in the homosexuality community. And I think a lot of folks who are kind of siding with them on this Scout fight again, do not realize what they're approving to go camping with their ten and eleven year old boys.
Barton: Yeah, people have an image of what they think sexuality is and, you know, that can come from movies or come from other sites as well, but when you get the specifics of what homosexuality activity is, even decent people find that absolutely reprehensible and disgusting. And that's why when Representative Dannemeyer said "hey you Democrats are trying to promote this, let me read what you're promoting, even Democrats got grossed out and tried to censor the Congressional Record and get that stuff taken out because it was so disgusting.
That is probably a good point to make Rick. While we think of this as being tolerant and whatever, no, you do need some details to realize what we're facing here and it's not what you think it might be. Get some details on it.
