Party Monsters: Remembering Macaulay Culkin As Michael Alig
- By
- Oliver Lunn
After serving a 17–year sentence for the brutal killing and dismemberment of his roommate, the notorious "King of the Club Kids" Michael Alig was released from prison yesterday. Alig immediately took to Twitter to post a selfie with the caption: "Happy to be free and so grateful for this second chance".

— Michael Alig (@Alig_Aligula) May 5, 2014
Back in 2003, a darkly hilarious film was made about Alig's exploits, based on the novel 'Disco Bloodbath'. Party Monster featured Macaulay Culkin in drag, replete with floppy hand gestures, camp accents and colourful garms. To state the obvious, it was somewhat of a departure for the cheek-slapping star of Home Alone (1990). To the adoring fans who found little Kevin Mccallister so irresistibly cute, Party Monster was the desired beaker of acid in the face.
An actor attempting to escape their pigeonhole is nothing new, of course, and we've seen it more recently with Robert Pattinson, timidly working on David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis in an attempt to shed his tweenie Twilight skin; and with Emma Watson, again less daring, being so "naughty" in Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring. But with Culkin, the vastness between his cute kid days and partying in a truck with Marilyn Manson seemed genuinely bold, seductive and wholly necessary.
Alig discusses his nocturnal habits on a US talk show.
Culkin as Alig in the 2003 film.
Delivering lines like "I want you to teach me how to be fabulous", "I'm getting away with murder and you're just jealous", and singing "Money, success, fame and glamour" through a megaphone, Culkin's turn as Alig was aptly plastic and theatrical. More shocking than Culkin's new look, though, was the fact that the actor actually pulled it off, and by the end of the film, I had totally forgotten that this was the same kid who had battled the Wet Bandits in the Mccallister residence.
With Terry Richardson's iconic photo of the actor sans shirt, phlegm oozing out of his mouth, released just before the film, Culkin and his publicist were obviously attempting to cultivate a new "bad boy" persona. The result, however, was kind of different. The character that emerged still had innocent-looking, tattoo-less skin and a childlike voice, yet in the press this image of an off-the-rails teen was still being perpetrated, ultimately creating a disconcerting, conflicted character of sorts.
Party Monster did in part have the desired affect of obliterating Culkin's family-friendly image, but to predict it would kick-start some kind of Matthew McConaughey-style renaissance of reputable roles later proved presumptuous. Culkin's Alig will no doubt go down as a high-point in the actor's meandering career, but looking ahead, we might have to assume that his recent pizza-inspired musical endeavors will be as good as it gets.

Can anyone help with advice on shrecent loved down south in August of last year and haven't really been running much but the weather and terrain here have finally tempted me out. Having lived in a completely urban environment my shoes are road running model. Now I am running on all sorts road, flint/gravel and mud all in one 3 mile stretch. Is there any shoe that will deal with all three surfaces or am I asking too much?
Any help would be appreciated as I want to keep going after a long lay off and reduced motivation ????
That was supposed to say "help with shoes" sorry
Don't get too hung up on having the 'right' shoe - one that's comfortable is probably as important as anything else!
go for some low profile trail shoes, if you're starting to get off the tarmac. The low profile helps prevent going over on your ankle, the traily sole will provide more grip. Mizuno wave harriers are a cracking shoe, almost a fell shoe but very comfy - if they fit right, of course!
Cheers mick. I've always been an asics gal but this being the first set of trail shoes I will ever have thought hadn't got a clue where to start.

One More Reason to Love the 2015 Corvette Z06 - It Might Keep Joe Biden from Running for President
Joe Biden made a stop at the 2014 North American International Auto Show and while he looked a little here and there at the various automakers, Biden spent a particularly long time in the Chevrolet display with the 2015 Corvette Z06. Biden is the proud owner of a 1967 Corvette so it doesn't come as much of a surprise that he would be so interested in the new Z06. While checking out the new C7 Corvette Z06 alongside new General Motors CEO Mary Barra, Biden was very impressed with the new top of the line Corvette. In fact, he was so impressed that he commented that the new Z06 could be one reason to not run for President of the United States in the next election.
"Everyone wants to know whether or not I'm going to run for president," Biden said. "There's a lot of reasons to run for president, but there's one overwhelming reason not to run for president. I'd like to get that Z06 with 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. 3.4 seconds! You tach that sucker up to six grand and this comes out of the hole like a bullet, man."
That's right – Vice President Joe Biden stated that being able to drive the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 was enough of a reason to not want to be President of the United States of America. You see, while Joe Biden owns a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette, he hasn't been able to drive his classic American sports car – or any other car – since he took office. Not being allowed to drive is one of the key items on the long list of security precautions taken to protect both VP Biden and President Obama. The President and Vice President don't drive while in office so whenever they have to go anywhere, they have specially trained secret service drivers and a government vehicle that gets them around. That might sound nice to some people but for a car guy, not being allowed to drive must be pure hell and with Biden being as much of a car guy as any of recent high ranking US government officials – it must be tough of Biden to not be able to enjoy his '67 Vette.
This means that should Joe Biden run for President and win the election, he would not be able to drive his 1967 Corvette for four more years (unless he was impeached or something) but he also wouldn't be able to drive the new 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06.

"After the game he and Skip [Prosser] talked and I guess it would be a verbal commitment if anything," Eric Skeen, Jamie's father said. "He's just a junior so it's a verbal commitment."
Wake Forest had actively pursued Skeen, often sending the head coach to see him. For Skeen, the Deacons were extremely attractive.
"To me, I guess it was the right fit," Eric Skeen said. "He really likes Coach Prosser. Every time he went up there he treated him real nice. He likes Coach Gaudio and the staff."
This year, Skeen is averaging 22 points and 10 rebounds a game for coach Duane Lewis. The conference tournament begins this weekend but North Mecklenburg has its sights set on greater things behind Skeen's play.
For Skeen's family, having one of their own close to home and in the ACC, it doesn't get any better.
"It was going to be an ACC school anyway, but to stay in the state and it's just an hour and 10 minutes away, that's even better," Skeen's father said. "The ACC, that's the best league out there so anytime ACC schools are recruiting you, it makes you proud. But it's just the beginning and he's got to maintain his grades. It's just nice to have that pressure off of you."

Swiss to release Polanski as soon as bail posted
By Lisa Jucca
ZURICH (Reuters) - Swiss authorities will release Roman Polanski into house arrest as soon as he posts $4.5 million bail while the film director fights extradition to face U.S. sentencing over a 1977 case of sex with a 13-year-old girl.
The Justice Department said on Thursday that it had decided not to appeal against a decision by the Swiss Federal Criminal Court granting Polanski's request for release, and would free him as soon as bail conditions are met.
But Interpol, the global police organization, warned member countries to stay vigilant as Polanski had previously skipped bail and defied court orders.
"Mr Polanski has given us more than 30 years of proof that he does not feel bound to respect any court decision with which he does not agree," Interpol said in a statement.
The 76-year-old Oscar-winning director, who holds dual French and Polish citizenship, was arrested at the request of the United States when he flew into Switzerland on September 26 to receive a lifetime achievement prize at a film festival.
The Swiss court ruled on Wednesday that Polanski could be released against bail of 4.5 million Swiss francs ($4.51 million) but must be kept under house arrest at his chalet in the luxury ski resort of Gstaad.
"Polanski will be released from custody as soon as bail has been transferred, ID and travel documents have been lodged, and the electronic monitoring system has been installed and tested," the Justice Department said in a statement.
The court had noted the bail was a "substantial portion" of Polanski's fortune and said the director had raised the cash from a French bank using his Paris apartment as security. His lawyer and family have also said that he would not flee. Continued...

Gamers looking for a quick bargain should note that Limbo is currently free to download on Steam - but not for long.
Playdead's indie puzzle-platformer attracted loads of attention when it launched back in 2010, thanks to its unsettling black-and-white art style and brain-tickling level design.
If you haven't had the grim delight of playing the game, now is the best chance you're going to get. You can currently download the game on Steam for free, for PC or Mac.
However, the offer only lasts until 6pm tonight, UK time. We suggest hurrying to download it with the utmost urgency, like you're being chased by a 20-foot spider. You'll need to have played Limbo to get that reference.
If you're wondering what Playdead has been up to since Limbo launched all those years ago, the answer is 'making another game.'
Inside is yet another moody side-scrolling platformer, but with a slightly more colourful palette. You play the part of a young boy on the run from malevolent forces in a dystopian future. It looks pretty grim.
Related: Best Xbox One games 2016
We've listed Inside as one of our most anticipated Xbox One games of 2016.
Inside is set to launch for Microsoft's console on June 29, which probably explains why Playdead is offering its previous game for free just days before. After all, if you like Limbo, you're quite likely to be interested in paying cold hard cash for Inside.
Are there any other indie gems you're looking forward to seeing in 2016? Let us know in the comments.

The 17 Day Diet Review: Does it Work?
The most popular diet of 2011 supports healthy weight loss that lasts.Top Rated Diets of 2017
What is it?
The 17 Day Diet is a weight loss diet claiming to offer up to 12 pounds of weight loss within the first 17 days. It's said to help people lose weight by confusing the body, keeping metabolism in a fat burning state.
The diet claims that there's scientific evidence that shows it can help with weight loss in the long term. It was created by a Dr. Mike Moreno, and it was created in 2010. It suggests eating a certain amount of calories with some food restrictions. The top rated diet of 2016 was found to be the 18Shake Diet. It combines a nutritionally balanced appetite suppressing meal replacement, as well as an all-natural stimulant free metabolism booster which can be found here.
Do You Know the Best Diets of 2017?
The 17 Day Diet Ingredients and Side Effects
No pre-packaged foods or supplements are required. Foods are to come from whole foods found in grocery stores. There's 4 different cycles one has to follow, each one lasting 17 days, except the final phase which is followed for the entirety of one's life, if one happens to not gain any more weight:
• Accelerate: This part of the diet promises fast results, as well as nutrients to help get rid of fat in stubborn areas. It's said that digestive health will be improved, and sugar will be removed from one's diet in to further decrease fat storage.
Only 1,200 calories are allowed per day. This phase promises between 10 to 12 pounds of weight loss. It's likely most of the weight loss in this phase is not fat but water. Carbohydrates are strictly restricted, which is the reason why water weight is lost, as they are known to hold unto water.
A low calorie diet of just 1,200 calories might be unhealthy according to Live Strong.com:
"Do not attempt a low-calorie diet unless you are under the strict supervision of your doctor"
"Some symptoms of severe calorie restriction are weakness, fatigue, cold intolerance, irregular menstrual periods, dizziness, constipation and swelling"
It may also promote more serious issues such as gout caused by high uric acid in the blood. The same group adds:
"not taking in the proper amounts of vitamins, protein and electrolytes, you are at risk for malnutrition disorders"
A list of the top 10 diet plans is made available when you click on the link here.
Since much less food is allowed, this places the body not just in a deficit of calories, but also less nutrients due to the loss of many foods.
They also point out the flaws of long term dieting like this:
"You are more likely to burn muscle than fat"
It's believed that because of the reduction of calories and carbohydrates that most of the weight loss will only be water. Live Strong.com adds:
"It's possible to lose as much as 20 pounds of body during one week, most of which is water"
This initial loss of water will likely return once one reintroduces carbohydrates. There are possible symptoms caused by a lack of carbohydrates as well, since they are the brain's primary fuel source via its glucose. This can lead to side effects such as:
- Brain fog, loss of focus, and difficulty thinking.
- Reduced reaction time, fatigue, and difficulty exercising.
- Nausea, mood swings, and issues with regulating temperature.
• Activate: This changes from the low calorie planning found in the first phase, alongside a much higher calorie allowance. 5 to 6 pounds of weight loss is said to be possible.
The intention of this plan is to help the body's metabolism constantly be confused, so it activates at a higher level. There's no proof however that this is actually true. No clinical studies have shown that metabolism is changed for the better when one reduces and suddenly raises calories.
• Achieve: Another 2 to 3 pounds of weight loss are said to be possible. One also introduced better eating habits to stick with in this phase. Things like portion control are taught. A 17 minute spot reduction workout is offered, which is meant to be a way to target specific areas that have body fat. Though this claim has been disproven according to Examine.com:
"Spot-reduction (losing fat in one place) is not possible"
The 17 Day Diet claims to be backed by clinical research, but some major claims made have been debunked. A list of the top 10 ranking diet plans is featured in the list found here.
• Arrive: By this point all eating habits should be established to allow for continuing this diet for the rest of one's live. Some occasional cheat meals are allowed on the weekend. This point is intended to help one keep their weight steady.
US News had this to say about the diet:
"no studies have specifically evaluated the 17-day-diet- and "body confusion" has not been scientifically proven"
This diet is similar in fact to other low carbohydrate diets which offer quick weight loss. Examine.com adds:
"people on low-carb diets lose weight because they naturally eat less and avoid the large binges caused by carbohydrate cravings"
Carbohydrate heavy foods tend to have more calories and are less filing than protein and fats. This information is not new, and does not prove that the 17 Day Diet is a long term weight loss solution. The top 10 list of the best diets is available when you click the link here.
EDITOR'S TIP: Combine this diet with a proven meal replacement such as 18 Shake for better results.
The 17 Day Diet Quality of Ingredients
The kinds of ingredients used are wholesome since only grocery foods that are unprocessed are allowed. The issue is that the diet itself has not been proven to be any different than any other low carbohydrate diets.
There's also a suggested 17 day cycle for 3 of the phases. There's no evidence that 17 days are needed for metabolism to be confused and working at a high level. The diet also emphasizes spot reduction which also has not been scientifically proven.
The Price and Quality of the 17 Day Diet
The book itself sells for $18.88 on Amazon.com, though there are also cookbooks, new editions, and reduction plans offered under the same basic diet strategy. There are also optional supplements, DVD's, and workout gear offered.
Other process to consider is the costs for grocery shopping, as meals need to be cooked at home to prepare them the right way.
Business of The 17 Day Diet
The creator of the book is Dr. Mike Moreno, a family medicine practitioner. He has no background in nutrition or weight loss.
No evidence is provided to help show that the 17 Day Diet is backed by real research. Research shows which diets made it to the top 10 list that is made available when you click here.
EDITOR'S TIP: The top 10 list of the best diets is available here.
Customer Opinions of The 17 Day Diet
Here are some reviews from users who posted their reviews online:
"couldn't make it past a couple of days because of how hungry I was"
"highly disappointed and disgusted that U had wasted my money on a book with concepts that I already knew"
"it's really difficult to keep up, long term. It isn't really 17 days"
"I found this book similar to common sense previous diets… no sugar, no white anything"
The common concern from most users was that there wasn't anything in this diet but common sense weight loss tips. This includes not eating processed foods, white and refined grains, sugar, and other unwanted foods.
There were also issues with people having it really difficult to keep up with the diet long term, since there are many restrictions and extreme calorie restrictions. People also added that they regained all their weight when they reintroduced carbohydrates into their diets.
A view of the best diets is available in this top 10 list.
Conclusion - Does The 17 Day Diet Work?
Before making a final decision on the 17 Day Diet, it's important to look over all the available facts. Many people who used it say they found it to be hard to maintain due to the extreme calorie restrictions in the first 17 days. This 1,200 calorie limit is not advised to be followed without the help of a doctor, according to health websites. There's also an extreme limit on carbohydrates to start with, which is likely the reason there's any weight loss, which is mostly water weight and not fat.
The 2016 best diet of the year is called the 18Shake Diet. It offers a combination of two all-natural diet supplements. A diet pill that raises metabolism with no added stimulants, and a nutritionally well rounded meal replacement that customers say helps suppress appetite, all while having a pleasant taste. Many people have left testimonials and positive reviews saying how effective this diet is for sustained weight loss.
The 18Shake diet's supplements are also backed by a full 30 day money back return policy. This guarantee is offered with no questions asked for a total of 30 days. Learn more about the 18Shake Diet by following the link provided here.

Down to 176 ! 14 pounds down in 23 days !!! This is the BEST diet I've EVER been on !! I've been able to go to cookouts & resisted....been able to go out to eat & not cheated...even been able to turn down CANDY at the movies...I am STILL in shock ! I love how I feel & how much energy I have...this is a MUCH better eating lifestyle than I have ever done before & I feel like I can stick to it 4 the rest of my life . BTW, I BOUGHT A SIZE 8 DRESS for my son's wedding in July !!!! Just a tad snug but will fit beautifully by July 9th....I am just so excited... ANYONE can do this if I can, believe me...
okay, i would like to try this diet but problem is that i can control how much i eat, so im skipping supper and eating supper and lost 5kg in 5 days... just saying....
I'm on DAY 6, Cycle 1, and so far i lost 9 pounds! Simply amazing result. I feel so much better. No cravings.
I altered the menu a bit, allowing myself to have very limited stachy legumes: chick peas (no more than 1/4 cup per meal). I also excircise more. I normally run 30-40 minutes everyday. The 17 minutes walk seem so little...
There's some keys secrets of this diet, I found:
1. 8oz warm water with lime juice first thing in the morning, and at least 7 other glasses of water throughout the day. Simply put, drink your water, alot of it!
2. No carbs or high-sugar fruits after 2p.m.
3. Green tea, 3 cups a day, with meal.
I have question: why there's no milk (not event skim, nor soy milk or almond milk) on the first 2 cycles? I know the 2 serving yogurt per day would give me some calcium, but given the fact that i'm a runner and run everyday, i wonder if it would be enough?
Any ideas?
Can you eat protien between meals if you are hungry?
I have been on the 17 day diet for the last 10 days. The first 4 days I lost 5lbs. Then by body went into its pre-menstrual stage for a week. Usually during this time, the scale will show an increase in weight of about 4 to 5 lbs. Being on this diet, there was no increase on the scale but I did not experience a drop in weight either. I am sharing this because women dieters will have to realize that at certain times during this diet, you will not loose simply because your body is at that phase. Today, I hopped on the scale and I lost 0.6 pounds. I think my body is returning to its normal self and I am looking forward to loosing more. I gave myself a goal of 8 pounds, at least, in the first phase. This diet really, really works. I am following this after failing in many others including Weight Watchers. I feel healthy and am fitting much better into my clothes. I am excited about this journey and will definitely be continuing till I reach my goal weight. Finally, the low calorie did not take me too long to adjust to. By the end of the first week, I was very comfortable eating just 1200 calories a day. If anyone is out there wanting a diet that really works, try this one �?? I have shared this with many people already.
I like it but can not afford the book is it possible that you sponsor me a book I would really love that
Can I drink white wine stil ?
Olives don't seem to get a mention on 17 day diet and I love 3 or 4 of them in salad, unsure when I am allowed to eat them - any ideas?
@cabbie, I have had the same experince with green tea. I thought I was doing something good for myself by drinking the greentea, but had so many palpitations, had halter, and event monitors, and an ultrasound, I too think it was the green tea.
LOST ANOTHER POUND this morning ! 178...down from 190 ! WOO-HOO !!! Looks like I got off that plateau...PHEW !!! ;o)
NLee & AuntieR, ya'll are both doing great ! Keep up the good work ! YA'LL CAN DO IT !!!!
@Auntie R- Congrat's on the weight loss, woo hoo!!! Keep up the good work. I am still enjoying it, need to also work on doing exercise daily. Proud of you.....
I am on D3C2 and I am wondering should I go back to C1 after or do I continue to C3 if I am not at goal by the end of C2? My whole family is doing this and we all have the same question.
My husband and I started this diet 2 months ago. We have a combined total weight loss 55lbs. I cant believe it. He is a type II diabetic and is now on no bloodsugar medicine!!!! I recommend thisdiet to everyone, its life changing!
I'm technically on C3 D2...BUUUUUT, i'm continuing with Cycle 2; instead of continueing on. I have not reached my goal weight yet. I started at 233, and today am smiling as I say i'm 212!! 21 pounds gone off of my body...that's FOUR 5 lb bags of potatoes!!! lol. This past week, I've side tracked a bit...and haven't worked out nearly as much as I should be. I'm kicking my butt into gear TODAY! I have too. Otherwise, I'm doing everything else BUT the most important aspect of losing weight...EXERCISE!!! 40 minutes of cardio tonight..wish me luck I don't pass out of exhaustion!! lol.
@Dixiejet- you are doing great girl. Don't let the plateau get you discouraged. Make sure you are eating enough, sometimes that can stall us out. I am on the same cycle and day as you, lost 11 total in 25 days. Still not craving, still getting full, still amazes me. Keep up the good work, I am anxious to be in onederland soon, lol.
@Carrie- on Cycle 2 Day9 have also experienced constipation somewhat. I have been using 1 t of flaxseed meal in my yogurt or smoothie, hoping it will help me out. I am sure it takes awhile for our bodies to adjust too.
@Marion(MAZ) You can have meat for the lst 17 days, if you have the book, reread cycle 1, turkey, chicken, some fish, eggs. Hope this helps.
Yes,Carrie, it IS normal...ALOT of folks on this diet are constipated but I ordered some HerbLax from Shaklee (ALL natural) & I take one every nite . That took care of it for me...
BTW,on C2 DAY9, I lost ANOTHER POUND !!!! That puts me at 179.4 !!! WOO-HOO !! Under 180 FOR REAL !! Doing the happy dance.... :o)))) I think I will go back to Cycle 1 for another 17 days after C2 is over & see how it goes...I would love to be significantly smaller by July 9th as my son is getting married at age 34 for the first time. <3 :o)))))
I started the diet May 1st and have lost 19 pounds. It is simple for me to follow, even my kids, who don't need to lose weight, like the foods I create. My friend is also on it and doing well, but has diahhrea. I have the opposite problem and have to take laxatives. Is this norma.?
I have been on the diet for 7 days and am getting bored with it. I understand you can't have meat for the 1st 17 days and no bread either can anyone tell me how to stop the boredom I have stuck to it very strictly.

Do You Know the Best Diet Pills of 2017?
The 17 Day Diet is a weight loss plan available in a book from Dr. Mike Moreno, a family medicine practitioner in San Diego, CA. His book was born of a weight loss plan he prescribed to his overweight patients, namely as a way to manage the holidays. The friendly Dr. Mike, as he is known to his patients, is proactive in helping them manage their health and weight, and even created a program called "Walk with Your Doc" back in 2008. Two days a week he and patients meet for a walk to encourage them to exercise and keep the doctor-patient relationship thriving.
In November 2010, The 17 Day Diet debuted on an episode of Dr. Phil with a raving endorsement from the doctor. That appearance was immediately followed by one on The Doctors (the two shows are jointly produced), and a weight loss challenge between viewers of each program initiated. The self-published book was an overnight success and Moreno's supply could not keep up with the overwhelming demand.
In spring 2011, Moreno fielded multiple offers from publishing houses interested in purchasing the book's rights, and he awarded those to Simon & Schuster, who immediately ran a second printing of the book. The only difference was a revised cover. This second printing helped push The 17 Day Diet to sales of more than one million copies by the end of 2011.
During 2011, Moreno and his publishers also produced the 17 Day Diet Workbook, a Spanish-language version of the book, and started work on a 17 Day Diet Cookbook that will debut in spring 2012. They also started a partnership with Bistro M.D. to manage a 17 Day Diet meal plan, with meals suited to the diet's specifications delivered to customers at home.
How the 17 Day Diet Works
The 17 Day Diet relies on a style of weight loss known as metabolic confusion, which means you're changing up what you're doing on a regular basis to keep your body from settling in to a routine.
Like many popular diet programs, 17 Day Diet is cyclical, using four phases, or cycles, to progress people from start to goal. The diet itself does not actually last a mere 17 days, instead, that is the length of time for each of the four cycles.
- Cycle 1: Accelerate. Jump start the program and facilitate rapid weight loss, cleansing, and fat burning. Discourages fat storage.
- Cycle 2: Activate. During this cycle you will "reset" your metabolism.
- Cycle 3: Achieve. Develop healthy eating habits, and develop a new understanding of how to eat carbs.
- Cycle 4: Arrive. Considered the maintenance phase and the culmination of what was learned in the first three cycles. On weekends, you have freedom to enjoy just about anything you like.
If you make it to cycle four and have not yet reached your goal, then it is encouraged and advised that you jump back to another cycle and continue your efforts, on schedule. Cycle four is considered the maintenance phase, and is reserved for those who've reached goal by following the guidance outlined in the first three cycles.
The 17 Day Diet provides direction for a healthy way of eating that is sustainable - it's clean, includes healthy carbohydrates, lean proteins, healthy fats, and eliminates processed and fried foods.
The fitness aspect is minimal, especially at the start with only 17 minutes of exercise per day proposed. However, followers are encouraged to do more as they are physically able and comfortable to expand their fitness regimen.PRO

The 17 Day Diet makes minimal recommendations for exercise; however, like many diet plans, it does not dismiss the necessity of a regular fitness regimen completely.
For beginners, the 17 Day Diet recommends a mere 17 minutes of exercise each day. This can be as simple as walking, you can follow along with the 17-minute workout DVD that is sold on the book's website.
As you progress through the program, become stronger and more able-bodied (for those with no prior history of exercise), the advice is still loose but encourages you to double or triple the amount of time you spend working out each day. Guidance is given to do activities that you love, with walking always being a go-to sport.
Cycle 1: 17 minutes of exercise per day
Cycle 2: 17 minutes of exercise per day
Cycle 3: 40-60 minutes of aerobic exercise most days
Cycle 4: Try to do an hour on the weekends, in addition to a regular regimen throughout the week
The 17 Day Diet relies on a cycled eating plan to help you lose weight. During four cycles, each lasting 17 days (or longer in cycle four), you'll change how many servings of healthy carbohydrates, lean proteins, and healthy fats that you eat each day.
Overall, The 17 Day Diet is a clean-eating plan, with guidance to eat the "right" kind of carbs, meaning white grains and fresh fruits and vegetables, not processed "white foods," like bread, crackers, and cookies. You'll eliminate processed foods, processed sugar, and fried foods; you might balk at the thought of this, but it's guidance that any healthy eating plan is going to provide.
Each of the four cycles has its own objective, whether it be jump starting your fat burn, resetting your metabolism, teaching portion control, or recognizing true hunger. Through this process, you'll actually start to crave the foods that are nourishing your body, like a meal of roasted turkey with asparagus, rather than a burger and fries.
17 Day Diet recipes are available on the Food on the Table Meal Planning App
17 Day Diet Sample Meals
It's fair to want to know exactly what you'll be eating before taking on a new diet. The 17 Day Diet book outlines detailed meal plans for each day of each cycle, so all you have to do is shop and prepare, eliminating the worry and frustration over what you can or cannot eat. The following is a snapshot of what a day of meals look like on each 17 Day Day cycle:
Cycle 1: Accelerate
Goal: Improve digestion, initiate fat burn/discourage fat storage
Rate of Weight Loss*: 5-10% of total body weight; 10-20 pounds
- Breakfast: Plain low-fat yogurt with fresh berries, green tea
- Lunch: Green salad with a variety of vegetables like tomato and cucumber with a homemade vinaigrette, green tea
- Dinner: Grilled salmon, choice of raw or steamed vegetables, green tea
- Snacks: Sugar-free fruit-flavored yogurt, choice of one fruit
Cycle 2: Activate
Goal: Rest the metabolism, stimulate fat burn
Rate of Weight Loss*: Half of cycle 1; 5-10 pounds
- Breakfast: Scrambled egg whites, half grapefruit or in-season fruit, green tea
- Lunch: Baby spinach salad with tomatoes and feta and homemade vinaigrette, green tea
- Dinner: Grilled turkey patties, side salad, green tea
- Snacks: Fresh berries, plain low-fat yogurt
Cycle 3: Achieve
Goal: Nurture healthy eating habits, reintroduce more foods, move closer to goal weight
Rate of Weight Loss*: Half of cycle 2; 2.5-5 pounds
- Breakfast: High-fiber cereal with skim milk, fresh berries, green tea
- Lunch: Whole-wheat pita with lettuce, tomoato, feta cheese, Italian dressing; baby carrots; green tea
- Dinner: Barbecued boneless chicken breast, steamed vegetables like asparagus or broccoli, green tea
- Snacks: choice of one fruit, Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich
Cycle 4: Arrive
Goal: Maintain goal weight
Brunch: Blueberry waffles with syrup, turkey sausage, orange juice Dinner: Grilled chicken breast, steam broccoli, green tea Snacks: Sugar-free fruit-flavored yogurt, raw baby carrots
- These rates of weight loss were determined during an interview with Dr. Mike Moreno in 2011. This is the amount of weight he says you could safely lose within each cycle. Pounds lost are based on a 200-pound person. The industry standard rate of weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week.
The 17 Day Diet Meal Plan from Bistro MD
If you're short on time or not yet comfortable with your skills in the kitchen, the 17 Day Diet Meal Plan is available from Bistro MD, a leader in the meal delivery space. Each meal follows your progress through each cycle, each day to help keep you in line with the 17 Day Diet guidelines.
17 Day Diet Special Notes
The diet is suitable for both type 1 and type 2 diabetics. In an interview with Dr. Mike Moreno in 2011, he noted some type 2 diabetics have used 17 Day Diet and reduced or eliminated their need for medications. For type 1 diabetics, he advises more diligent assessment of sugar levels.
The diet is flexible enough to meet the needs of vegetarians. You'll simply modify the protein suggestions, for instance, replacing fish and chicken with soy, dairy, and legumes.
Those who don't care for seafood or fish can also alter the diet and replace with the other lean protein of their choice, like turkey, chicken or pork.
If green tea doesn't appeal to you, this can also be skipped by replacing with a green tea supplement and/or at least one cup of the tea each day.

World's Nuttiest Hangover Remedies Of The Day
LEMON ARMPITS (Puerto Rico)
Some Puerto Ricans apparently believe hangovers are caused in part by dehydration, which is true. However, they also believe that lemon juice can prevent dehydration (which might be true) if you rub it under your arm pit (definitely not true). So that's what some of them do before a night of heavy boozing: rub lemon slices on their armpits. God help you if you just shaved.
WET RIVER SAND (Ireland)
An old Irish legend says that the best way to cure yourself of a hangover is to bury yourself up to you neck in wet river sand. Why? It's not exactly clear. Being buried in cold sand could help with the body ache and maybe the nausea (Irish river sand being cold and all), but other than that it just sounds like something a guy named Seamus made up to get a guy named Sean to do something stupid.
DEEP-FRIED CANARY (Ancient Rome)
This hangover recipe comes to us from none other than Pliny the Elder, the ancient Roman author and naturalist, who apparently had a real fondness for wine and cheese and sometimes indulged too much. Luckily he had a family recipe for hangovers: take a canary, lop off the head, pop it into a pan of boiling oil, let it sizzle, and voila—tasty breakfast and no more hangover.
KATERFRUHSTUCK (Germany)
Katerfrühstück means "hangover breakfast" in German (so I'm told). And one traditional hangover breakfast in Germany consists of a delicacy called rollmops: pickled herring wrapped around pickled cucumber and onion. This one actually makes sense—all that salt probably would help you feel better. And if the pickled herring should happen to make you barf, well that's good too, because you always feel better after you hurl.
Here's an old-fashioned American remedy: raw egg, worcester sauce, salt, pepper, and tabasco. Is there any science behind it? Eggs are certainly good for a hangover, but there's little advantage and some danger to eating them raw. And I'm pretty sure there is zero nutritional value in worcester or tabasco sauce. So maybe the whole thing was just concocted by some angry parent trying to teach their kid a lesson.
DRIED BULL PENIS (Sicily)
In Sicily—I assume in the olden days—men who had a little too much vino used to cure their hangovers by gnawing on dried bull penises. The idea was that it would restore their virility. And really, how could it not? I mean, what's more virile than a bull? And what's the most virile part of a bull?
See the rest here.

Yeah, I think I'll stick to a bit of the hair of the dog, thank you very much.ReplyDelete
BTW, that isn't what we refer to has Prairie Oysters around here. Where I come from, Prairie Oysters are deep fried bovine testicles. I'm not sure which one is worse, at least this kind is cooked.

Pickled herring is actually quite good. And I'm not just saying that because I'm German ;)ReplyDeleteReplies

Seconding that as another German. And add some hair of the dog in the shape of a nice, draught Beck's!Delete
I'm not hungover and most of those made me queasy.ReplyDelete
Prairie oysters, mountain oysters, lamb fries, pork fries -- different names for the same body part. No thank you.
These remedies all look like good reasons to just avoid getting a hangover in the first place.ReplyDelete
A good greasy breakfast soaks up the alcohol. Fried eggs, grits and bacon. Tried and true by me since 1990. Okay, 1986.ReplyDelete
- MargaretOctober 2, 2012 at 12:39 AM
Is the dried bull penis still attached to its owner? Cuz, DUH...yeah...that would cure what ails you.ReplyDelete
People around here use menudo (the broth, not the boy band). It's made of cow belly and kinda smells like poop, there's not way you'd make me eat it but it's quite popular. Also, they use a pork meat sandwich immersed in hot sauce with loads of onion and lime juice. I've never been hungover, so I'm not sure how effective it is.ReplyDelete

Revenge that Came with The Spark
The start of the very first story I've ever written. Taking the advice of helpful Protagonizers, I've decided to split it up and add some more!
Prologue (chapter 1)
"I wouldn't do that."
"And why not?"
"If you don't believe me, why don't you try? You and I both know where you'll end up."
"If you were against it, then why didn't you say something before?"
"I'm saying something now. Believe me, you don't want your little erythrocytes spewing all over your kitchen counter. At least do it for the sake of the poor souls who will be left with your gory mess. If you must do it, I suggest you go into a secluded forest, where more bacteria can feast on your corpse."
"Leave me alone."
"And go where? You and I both know I'm not going anywhere. Actually, if you haven't noticed already, I have vested interest in your actions."
"If you cared, you wouldn't have kept silent."
"Princess, I wasn't alive until a week ago. Until your little traumatic incident I didn't even exist. Every novel experience requires some processing and analyzing. Thats why I haven't said a single word."
"And what do you suggest I do? There are no more options."
"There are always options, baby girl. We could be a team."
"Humour me."
"For starters, I hate being double crossed. With me on your side, we can reduce them to harmless insects, grovelling at your feet, begging for mercy. For the short time I've been with you, I have never experienced that sweet feeling."
The clock above the sink ticked for another minute.
"I'm an observant little bugger, and I tend to notice more than you, who's always engrossed in some kind of self-inflicted anguish. When it comes to street smarts, I'm unbeatable. Speaking of observant, I highly advise you to put on that bathrobe of yours. A special someone is at the door."
Sen climbed out of the bathtub and donned her frayed robe. As she walked across her tiny one-bedroom apartment, she bent down to put back some renegade stuffing that had fallen out of her sofa. About to open the door, she hesitated. She had never been convinced in such a manner. Usually, when friends tried to impose their advice upon her, she would always look at them with contempt. Then she would immediately do the opposite, just to show that she was independent and perfectly capable of making her own decisions. There was probably no one at the door. The fact that she being manipulated made her cantankerous, and she almost walked away. However, curiosity overcame her anger, and she flung the door open.

Ohio Woman Busted After Soliciting Sex for Nachos: An Ohio woman has been arrested in the parking lot of Beaver Township's Los Gallos Mexican Restaurant after telling an undercover cop that she would provide a sex act for $60 and a large order of nachos. Wow, that's really cheesy, but then again – this is Beaver Township – what do ya expect? Police say the fact that she requested both food and money proves she's nacho typical prostitute. And if she'd do that for nachos, makes you wonder what she'd do for a Klondike bar? I'm assuming the undercover cop had enough hard evidence to make the arrest.
German Doctors Advise Public to Walk Like Penguins: German trauma surgeons are advising the public to walk like penguins and lean the torso forward to avoid slipping on pavements during freezing temperatures. Yea, it starts innocently enough with walking like penguins, and before you know it – they're goose-stepping again.
Ohio Man Accused of Semen Attacks in Walmart: Police in Ohio have arrested a 26-year-old man accused of squirting semen onto women at a Walmart on multiple occasions after using the store's bathroom to masturbate into a syringe. He masturbated into a syringe? Talk about a tiny penis! I hate to judge, but its almost enough to make you think this guy may have some unresolved issues.

Skip to comments.The Real Hanukah: A Celebration of the Religious Right
Posted on 12/04/2007 1:29:33 PM PST by Alouette
Who are the bad guys in the Hanukah story? And who are the good guys?
These are serious questions with serious consequences.
Most Jews (and certainly most Christians) dismiss the winter holiday as a trivial, feel-good festival about candles, potato pancakes, spinning tops (dreidls),and eight nights of gifts, without coming to terms with its serious, relevant and distinctly uncomfortable messages. While frequently (and fatuously) described as a celebration of tolerance, Hanukah is more properly designated as an annual re-dedication to the values of the Religious Right.
No wonder that so many American Jews (with their reflexive, often ignorant liberal instincts) refuse to acknowledge the real Hanukah and its politically incorrect messages. In last weeks Washington Post, a householder from Potomac, Maryland named Kenneth Nechin proudly explained that his home attempts to honor the deeper meaning of the holiday: Religious tolerance, the freedom to practice religion, minorities overcoming majorities who are trying to take your rights away.
Actually, far from celebrating diversity or tolerance or respect for every faith, Hanukah (the name means dedication in Hebrew) marks a singular display of intolerance-- when religious zealots, exalting the values of that old time religion, came into the Temple in Jerusalem and drove out all alternate, creative forms of worship. In the For the Miracles (Al HaNissim) prayer recited at least three times a day by religious Jews during the eight days of the festival, we salute this uncompromising assertion of absolute truth: Your children came to the Holy of Holies of Your House, cleansed Your Temple, purified the site of your Holiness and kindled lights in the Courtyards of Your Sanctuary. No, the fervently faithful rebels did not assign a special area for other religious impulses as part of some ancient commitment to multiculturalism.

Excellent article.
Medved really nails it. The Hashmonaim were NOT multiculturalists, moral relativists. Great take on Greek celebration of homosexuality. Really reverberates today when the left and leftist Jews have made gay marriage one of their most important issues.
It is not suprising that Christopher Hitchens hates it.

The Value of SleepMature
My mouth hung open for several minutes before I could do anything useful with it, such as form words. I made some sounds that were mostly incoherent gibberish, but eventually gave up. In the end I managed to spit out, "You do know I date girls, right?" Yeah, it probably wasn't the best thing to say, but it was better than standing there and looking stupid.
It was Jeremy's turn to look surprised. He stuttered something that I could only guess meant, "I had no idea." even though it sounded more like, "I-ha-nidea." The only thing we could do was stand there awkwardly, which we accomplished with ease. All at once, there seemed to be so much I had to say, so much I wanted to say. Eventually I got up my courage and asked, "Will you give it a shot?"
There are many things that surprise me, nothing is ever what it seems. Jeremy's hugs are one of those things. He never shows emotion. I never would have guessed his body would be so soft. He always looked so tall, in reality, the top of his head only came up to my eyeballs. I had always seen him as something male, something dominant. For the first time, I saw Jeremy for who he truly was. He was a she. He was tender and delicate. He was a girl.
I hugged him back.
We stood there for a while, not saying anything. If the situation were different, I would have wondered why I was hugging a guy like this before we had even gone out yet, but circumstances for me were different now. Jeremy was my best friend. He understood me, it's why he never asked questions, and why we didn't need to talk in order to enjoy being together. For the first time, I realized what having a best friend felt like. I was content to stand there all night, and the both of us probably would have, but people were starting to notice. It was best to move on and continue later in private.
We got back to the warehouse. James told me that I had no more runs to make. Even though I didn't want to leave Jeremy so soon, I was tired. For the past week I had only been getting two hours of sleep every night. Since I was getting off work early, I might actually get at least four. I couldn't let this chance slide. After talking to James, I said goodbye to Jeremy and left the warehouse. I was about halfway down the street when I heard footsteps behind me. When I turned around, I saw Jeremy running with a scrap of paper. He caught up and as he gave me the piece of paper he said, "That's my address and phone number. You can come by tomorrow after school. We have a lot to discuss." I smiled and nodded and continued on my way home. Jeremy walked with me in his usual silence.
I guess even though some things change, some things stay the same.

So earlier today as I was waiting for my favorite Comic/Toy store to open, I went to Barnes and Noble to kill some time. As I was going through the Graphic Novel and Manga sections, a total douche bag comes up to me and says "grow the fuck up already" and tries to walk off. Who the hell is this turd wad? He happened to be on a break from his job at the Home Depot next door and the best way to spend his break is to tell people who look at comics and manga to grow up? My oversized pride was not about to let him just do a pop off drive by to me, so i called him back over and asked him what the deal was. He says that it sickens him to see grown men wearing novelty video game shirts and wasting time looking at comics and playing video games when they should be working. He also said it is losers like me that are responsible for the breakdown of this country. Then he proceeds to walk away again.
Really? This guy does not know me from John Brown and he is going to judge me because of how I spend my free time? As I snapped out of my wooziness caused by anger I walked up to him grabbed him by his right shoulder and spun him around to face me as I pointed my finger in his face and said to him.........
"FUCK YOU! You don't know who I am or what I do for a living. You are speaking to a grown ass man who works his ass off 60-80 hours a week and has all monthly bills paid by the middle of the month. Can you say that? I raise a family of five, plus a daughter in college and I can entertain myself any way I see fit. My family is sheltered, clothed, fed and entertained. Who the fuck are you to judge me for spending my money on comics and games? Who the fuck are you to call me a loser when chances are I make at least three times your income (I usually don't compare salaries because that is what douche bags do) and my taxes go back into this piss poor economy. You want to tell me to grow up and be a man, how bout I kick your ass right here and now like a man to teach you a lesson on keeping that dick vacuum you call a mouth shut!" Then i pushed him against the self, thus knocking some books over on the other side.
At this point, the manager alongside a couple more employees asked me to leave, which i respectfully apologized to the manager and peacefully walked out feeling damn proud of myself. Yes I am 37 and I will never outgrow what entertained me as a child. Yes grown men can still read comics. I have read Manga since I was a child living in Japan (yes, i can read Japanese) and I will not abandon it because society says we should at a certain age. Since most of you who may read this are younger than me be at least a decade, let me tell you as long as your responsibilities are taken care of, entertain yourselves how ever you see fit. If you like comics, read them. If you like video games, play them. If you like Legos, build away. The hell with others who judge.
Happy Entertainment Y'all

Jarrod Saltalamacchia on Red Sox' improved chemistry: 'It's like we are a family'
Credit: The Associated Press
CLEVELAND -- Dustin Pedroia mentioned it only in passing Tuesday, as he struggled to find words to describe his feelings about the Marathon bombings that rocked the only home he has known during his seven-year major league career, the place where his two children were born.
"It's tough to deal with, man," Pedroia said. "We all went out to dinner (Monday) night and talked about it the whole time. Just everybody."
Then, yesterday, Red Sox manager John Farrell offered more specifics. Farrell wasn't invited to the players-only dinner -- "I would have declined, by the way; that's not my place," he said -- but he was privy to some of the planning. Upon checking into the hotel in downtown Cleveland, Farrell said a few players suggested a team dinner and word quickly spread through their ranks. And while the initiative wasn't particularly unique, the turnout was telling.
"Twenty-two of them showed up," Farrell said. "I don't want to downplay the events that we just left in Boston, but what we've quickly come to see is that this is a group that likes to be around one another."
Jarrod Saltalamacchia elaborated as he left the clubhouse here last night, after the Red Sox extended their winning streak to five games with a 6-3 victory over the Indians. Unlike many of his teammates, the catcher has been with the Sox long enough to have lived through the infighting and the clubhouse dysfunction, the beer-and-chicken feasts and the subsequent search for the dissenters infamously labeled by Josh Beckett as "snitches."
So, yes, Saltalamacchia has perspective on the apparent unity of this year's team, at least in comparison to the past two seasons.
"We did have some guys that cared about each other (in prior years), and we did do dinners, things like that," Saltalamacchia told the Herald. "But I wouldn't say we were that tight. And we never had a group that big, which is awesome. It shows that we definitely want to be together. A lot of times, it's a long season, so there's nights where you want to get out, away from the field, and just forget about things. This is a group of guys where, it's almost like we are family. We kind of click together, talk together. We help each other out."
Saltalamacchia joined outfielder Jonny Gomes in coming up with the idea of printing "Boston Strong 617" on a jersey and hanging it in the dugout to pay tribute to the victims of the Marathon bombings. But the Red Sox' improved chemistry existed long before Monday's tragedy. It was evident in spring training, with Farrell setting the mood and the addition of newcomers like Gomes, David Ross, Ryan Dempster and Shane Victorino helping to create a more harmonious atmosphere.
"It's a bunch of really easygoing guys, close-knit guys," Saltalamacchia said. "Honestly, it's just a bunch of baseball junkies. We all just want to learn about the game, talk about the game, what we did against this (pitcher), or what we're doing against that guy. It's just a bunch of dirty bastards, basically. It's fun, man. It's a great group of guys to be around. It's nice."
And when was the last time you heard a Red Sox player say that?

Eastern Harbour Area
The Eastern Harbour Area has been developed since the seventies from a harbour site to a highly popular residential area with superb and diverse architecture. The district even became an important tourist stop: architecture tourists and everybody else enjoy the site. The islands in the Eastern Harbour Area offer a lot of examples of modern architecture, amongst which the large building blocks 'Piraeus', 'the Whale' and 'Barcelona'. This is all mixed with old and characteristic buildings like Loods 6. In this area are also a lot of design and interior design shops such as Sissy-Boy Homeland, Pols Potten and Keet in Huis.

EUR/USD: weekly Ichimoku analysis
Tatyana Norkina, FBS analyst
Daily. Last week the pair traded inside of the Tenkan and Kujun-sen channel. The bulls managed to push the pair into the 1.3650 area. However, by the end of the week the pair had to return to the 1.3600 support. As a result, the market turned sideways. All the Ichimoku indicators are also lying flat.
Chart. Daily EUR/USD
H4. The indicator is giving out contradictive signals. The Cloud still remains bullish and there is an active golden cross. However, by the end of the week the pair found itself below the Ichimoku. If the price fixes below the Cloud, the next bearish target will be seen at 1.3540.

Silent Is Golden
There's nothing like being in a public place without the public. We've achieved this higher state of being twice, and we're not about to tell you where or how. Find your own deserted public crib to crash.
As an example, take the Phoenix Zoo, a facility that's difficult to navigate under the most optimal conditions. You've got your crushing hordes of humanity on the hoof, baby strollers stretching to the horizon, and roving gangs of wild-eyed dipsticks screeching like howler monkeys. Grrr.
But what if you could have the zoo all to yourself? Just you and the beasts, and to hell with the dipsticks? That's the premise of Silent Sunday, an alt-transportation-awareness event in which the Central Avenue entrance to South Mountain Park and Preserve is closed to Sunday drivers and other bothersome vehicular traffic. Wanna breathe some actual, real fresh air? Bike the curvaceous access road to the top of the range -- or zoom down all devil-may-care -- without the threat of being squashed or run off a cliff? Walk down the center stripe of a stretch of asphalt -- just 'cause you can? Whatever. It's your crib, man. Crash it.

Don't Know What To Do?
- Article Summary
- What is 420?
Drug Abuse Awareness
Drug abuse awareness is the key to addressing the growing drug problem. We have a tremendous drug abuse problem here in America. In fact, the drug abuse problem in the United States is the worst in the Western world. Some years ago, the United Nations reported that while the United States represents only 5 percent of the total world population but it consumes nearly 60 percent of all illegal drugs produced. Unfortunately, the situation appears to be getting worse.
Recent U.S. Government reports reveal that the number of people who are using illegal drugs, and abusing legal substances such as alcohol and prescription drugs, is on the rise.? So what is the answer? Parents are the Anti-Drug! Parents are 50% of prevention! Know the Who? What? When? and Where? Statistically, most youths that choose not to try drugs do so to prevent disappointing their parents. Does your child know your position on drug and alcohol use? Is communication about drugs and alcohol consistent, timely and appropriate? Are you asking the right questions?
What is 420?
Drug Abuse Awareness Alert: Each year April 20th is celebrated as "National Pot Smokers Day"
4:20 or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) is a term used as a discreet way to refer to the consumption of marijuana and a way to identify oneself with the drug subculture. There are many theories about the origin of the term, but marijuana users continue to observe 4:20 as a time to smoke together and April 20 has become a counterculture holiday, where people gather to celebrate and consume marijuana.
420 has become a code for a time to get high, a symbol of marijuana, and a symbol of its culture. Teenagers believe they can talk about getting high in front of their parents without them knowing by using the phrase 420. Fortunately, your teenager will not have that option. April 20th events are international and 4:20 has become a worldwide "burn time." For parents, it's a red flag, a warning sign that your teenager may be into something that could harm their future. When you see the symbol 420, beware of what it represents. April 20th has now become "National Pot Smokers Day."
