toucano — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 11:42:10 -0800

How/where do I obtain the right to LEGALLY use a photo of Rush Limbaugh? I don't have a particular photo in mind, but can not find an organization/individual to grant the right to use any photo. After the recent flap over the Obama photo...

Not Rushing Madly Enough

wittgenstein — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 09:11:49 -0800

Piano-Playing-filter: I am having trouble playing a double rhythm against a triple rhythm. I am trying to learn Philip Glass' Mad Rush. It requires me to play 8 eighth notes per measure in my left hand against 4 eight note triplets in my right hand. I have never really played anything like this before and I am not having a lot of success. I have tried slowing it way down; I have tried playing the left hand and just counting triplets against it but even that seems tricky.

Any advice on how to "get" this, or even how to fake it pretty well?
Thanks.

Why am I getting these heart rushes

Every once in a while but at least once a day I get this weird feeling that I just figured out how to describe. Imagine you really have a crush on someone and they unexpectedly enter the room and maybe smile at you - the feeling I get when that happens is similar to this unprovoked random feeling that I'm asking about. Basically, out of nowhere, for like one second, I seem to stop breathing, have a tightness in the back of my throat and experience what feels like a wave of low pressure in the center of my chest. It's a little like what you might call an adrenaline rush or a panic wave but I'm not stressed.... and there's no sudden change in external stimuli. It kinda makes me take a deep mouth breath and then back to normal.

My info: male cuacasian 44yo 200lbs 6ft generally healthy taking prozac wellbutrin and ritalin . yes those last two are stimulating but this is a new feeling and I have pretty good experience with ritalin going back a few years and feel certain that this hasn't happened before for me.

I have a GP and a Psych and will meet with them when I return from travels but what do you MeFites who are not my doctors think?

how did rush limbaugh get rights to "my city was gone"

How did Rush Limbaugh get the rights to use The Pretenders as his bumper music? ... He's a conservative talk-show host and Chrissie Hynde is a PETA spokesperson and, presumably, liberal.

She can't be happy about it - so how do these things happen?

Business cards, ASAP and stat.

I need a thousand four-color business cards by the end of the day, Tuesday the 6th. Please help. In the past I've used silkcards.com, but after some customer service issues and the fact that they can't ever rush an order under any circumstances, I need a new vendor. The cards are 4-color on front, black on the back, and I must have them in Phoenix, AZ by the end of the day Tuesday. Is this possible? Who can do it?

A comment in this thread reminded me of something I've always wondered about: What about the voice of Geddy Lee? How did it get so high? I wonder if he talks like an ordinary guy. (I really want to know.)
