That diet is very unhealthy! The scientific evidence is against you here. To be honest, there is so much ignorance about Atkins that it is laughable. Those that trash it don;t even know the way of eating and certainly have not kept up to date on the scientific facts. What is so healthful about straches such as bread, potatoes and pasta and sugar that we are unhelathy without it?

I agree the key is is moderation. You should not take in more carbs than you can burn off. You are lucky. It also rather depends on your age. The older one gets the more likely one is to start developing problems associated with carbs and insulin release. One does not have to be overweight or overindulge for didseases assocaited with insulin to become a problem. >It causes far more problems than so called 'bad' fats, like butter.

Maybe I'd induge in them once a week. There is no need to eat large quantaties of them every day. Do you know anyone who eats a pack ogf butter of a day? There just is no need to cut it out and no need to only eat it one day in seven. For now maybe. The fact remains that we are above "carrying capacity" for our environment and are headed for a crash if population controls are not implemented in western societies (or world wide for that matter). this is a diffiuclt one. who do we decide should not breed? Or do we volunteer to give up our own rights to consume? Do we have euthanasia centres? Do we stop doing so much to keep people alive? Stop doing so much to bring babies to the infertile? Select only a few to breed? Of a particular sort? Only the intellectuals? Only the artists? Only the blue collar workers? ( i do know you have not suggested any of thes ethings but they do come to mind when one starts to discuss population control. And population control is a natural thing to come to mind when one looks at the world-if one cannot see another way. I think, perhaps, the less opulation would not mean less consuming-it would probably mean less people consuming more and thus the earth would still be in danger as it is now). - -- bw colin http://www.btinternet.com/~tantraapso/ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2004 19:01:05 -0500 From: Gary Zack Subject: Re: Beth Nielsen Chapman NJC Yes, Beth is a great singer/songwriter! I believe the song that got a lot of airplay that you mentioned was called "I Keep Coming Back To You." I remember that when I heard it I thought she sounded so much like Jennifer Warnes on that particular track, who is also one of my big favorites. The song is from her first self-titled album. On the same album is a song called "Down On My Knees" which is also lovely. I believe Wynnona Judd also covered that song. Best regards, Gary Detroit Sherelle Smith wrote: > > I love it!!!!

I just happened to drop in and find this note from Jono which brought back some wonderful memories of Saskatoon! The hotel illustrated on the cover of Clouds is the Delta Bessborough, at which Joni had often stayed on visits to her hometown. She mentions this hotel in the song, "Happiness Is The Best Facelift" from TTT. It's a beautiful place, along the Saskatchewan River in her "city of bridges." My husband, Lou, and I stayed there when we visited Saskatoon for Joni's art exhibition at the Mendel Gallery entitled "voices." I also had the extreme pleasure of meeting Joni at the exhibition opening, after forwarding a note to her upon our arrival at the hotel, where she was staying also. I also had the luck to sit next to Ashara at the Sunday brunch at the Bessborough, and through her was introduced to this great discussion list. I hope you do get the chance to visit Saskatoon, but listen to and learn Taming The Tiger and Night Ride Home first. They contain many references to specific places in Saskatoon.

However, I came across a newspaper (Sydney Morning Herald) review of a Jewel concert in Sydney last week which had some comments on Joni M. that may be of interest. If it has already been posted by some other Aussie just delete and move on. The reviewer (Bernard Zuel) said: "It's not hard to see in Jewel someone who has studied Joni Mitchell. Any sensible female singer - and any sensible male singer, for that matter - has done that. It's also not hard to see someone who has missed the point of Joni Mitchell completely. "Mitchell's mannerisms and style always served the song, not the singer. Mitchell didn't ask you to applaud her skill but to experience a new way to travel through or understand a song. What Jewel offers is technique not taste, posturing not passion." I mean no disrespect to Jewel or her fans. I am not familiar with her music at all.

There is much recent scientific studies around, published. Perhaps you could read them and learn about low carb eating, it's saftey and it's efficacy. There was recently an Horizon documentary regarding this 'diet', and it demolished all the anti nonsense written and spoken about Atkins, the lies, the silliness, the fears, all dealt with. It also gave the results of legitimate scientific studies. The most vocifierous anti low xarbers area group of Drs whose agenda is veganism and also the producers of bred, potato etc. So whilst I respect your scientific training, and I thank you for reminding me,it doesn't mean you have it right on this. bw colin ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2004 19:39:00 -0800 (PST) From: Catgirl Subject: Joni and Jewel Some very intelligent reporter wrote, "Mitchell's mannerisms and style always served the song, not the singer.

It does say "Raven" on the old vinyl. On the CD, though it says Raveen, correcting the original typo. More evidence that perhaps the 1 in "and John Guerin for showing me the root of the chord and where 1 was" was also a typo on the vinyl jacket, contrary to my earlier speculation that '1' was deliberate, and that the 'correction' on the CD to 'I' was contrary to Joni's initial intent.
