  1. So I checked again and the Times states it was the first video album to hit the market with video clips of each track on the album. It also won the Grammy award for best video album in 1982.
  2. I always enjoyed her music which was popular in North America and Europe where I lived at the time. Besides that she achieved stardom in films like Grease and Zanadu. The NYT claims her music video of Physical was the first in history. Sad to see her go at a relatively young age.
  3. Another point is that very few of these threads get any replies or even many views.
  4. Can I make a suggestion? The Lounge has recently seen a daily posting pf new threads on This Day in History. Not just one but two it seems. The result is that other topics quickly get pushed off the front page and thus fade into obscurity. I don't mind the topic been raised daily but the way it has been handled. Either it should just be under a generic title This Day in History and thus not be date specific. Or it could be placed in a new forum. I don't know how interesting people find it. I don't find it all that interesting as many of the items seem insignificant in terms of history.
  5. We are now in August and the heat has been gathering strength here in Eastern Ontario. I don't have ac and actually ordered a quote from the firm that installed ac in our headquarters of a group I represent as president. Today I was just there will a rep to try to fix the problem as it has not worked correctly since installation. I never got the quote for my own house as they had spelled my name incorrectly on my email. The expectations of further hot weather above 30C is diminishing daily. I think I'll tough it out at home. But we paid $32k for the office and that cheque has been deposited.
  6. Here in Canada refusal to give a roadside blood test automatically incurs an impaired driving charge. No excuses accepted.
  7. Depressing reading.
  8. And my quick research pointed out a lot of foods are converted into sugar after being eaten. That is natural and doesn' t hurt you as eating too much ADDED sugar to foods. I just happened to see a doc. on CBC this morning by Jamie, the British celebrity chef. In it he is going after added sugar in the British diet.
  9. I did a search and as I have indicated the Harvard study has been debunked. They counted potatoes consumed to include potato chips and french fries. Garbage in, garbage out.
  10. The way she pulled out of the storage area after her first accident and attempts to help her suggest this was no mechanical failure. Your second option is more likely.
  11. That's going to disappoint a lot of people, coming at the last moment.
  12. In my recent visits to Montreal this year the city had looked cleaner and well kept with flower boxes and other amenities. I credit the city administration of Valerie Laplante, the city mayor who is the first that I can recall puts the citizens first and is not corrupt as so many of her predecessors were.
  13. Past studies including by Harvard about potatoes have been debunked since they were poorly done. Study populations counted potato chips and french fries as potatoes they consumed and were counted. Current science includes white potatoes in a healthy diet if eaten correctly. The glycemic index is more important to diabetics since blood sugar spikes are more critical to them than to those who are healthy and ear a balanced nutritional diet, such as myself.
  14. Based on the video evidence, I'm prepared to jump to conclusions. She was obviously drunk as a skunk. And suicidal, it appears.
  15. Who is Anne Hecht?
  16. This is a very misleading post. There is a huge difference between naturally occuring sugars in foods such as fruits and vegetables and added sugar to many prepared foods such as soft drinks, candy, desserts, etc. The naturally occuring sugars will not harm you, the refined white sugars in all its forms will if taken to excess. Compared to many other areas, North American diets suck, generally speaking, and you see evidence of it daily on the streets and in the supermarkets and restaurants. And btw, we all need sugar in our diets. Just the right kind. Potatoes and rice do not constitute a harmful source of sugar.
  17. That link doesn't deal with the two deaths.
  18. I agree about the yacht. $1million for a fully staffed boat that could accomodate 12 in comfort in a. salubrious place moving from port to port in high season doesn't come cheap.
  19. You might want to look into Ibiza. Years ago I spent a week there with my then lover and I think 4 others. We rented a villa, two small cars (I wanted to come and go with my guy as I pleased). The old town, which was easily accessible to our villa, was lovely with great dancing clubs and restaurants. The beaches were beautiful. The weather was great. Can't remember the month but not July, Aug. I think June.
  20. He should at least put a not available on his ad if he doesn't want to pull it altogether.
  21. Interesting how the criteria are spelled out. It would appear to exclude a gay man who limited himself to a single provider and had sex with him on an infrequent but regular basis, say twice in one month and only once the next. The provider is clearly included even if he doesn't get much business because the sex he has is to provide food, etc for his needs.

    Madrid!

    You misunderstood what I was trying to say. With airconditioning you are driving the temperature down so the minimum temperature you set is what the system is aiming for as it lowers temperatures from the 90's and above. When the temperature reaches 80 it stops pumping in cold air. If there are sources inside adding to the heat like you mention besides the outside heat penetrating the building the air conditioning will continue to operate to bring the temperature down to the 80 degrees set on the thermostat. It's the opposite with a heating system.

    Madrid!

    Interesting that the NYT said yesterday that tourists' travel patterns are starting to shift with the intense heat waves in Southern Europe which really gathered steam last summer(pun intended). They were trying this summer to change their timing away from July, August to the shoulder season on both ends. It mentioned that Spain had more airconditioning in tourist facilities than Britain, France and Italy but didn't mention the temps were set at 80 degrees min.in Madrid. Another case of read the fine print, it seems, if you can find it. Lol

    Who's the Top?

    No idea but if they had asked me, I would have done the job "pro bono".
  25. Those are words of comfort that the vaccine will not harm you. Nothing to say about it's efficacy since it hasn't been used against Monkeypox in any significant way for decades, if ever.
