Checkin King Will Help Make Managing Your Social Media Check-ins Much Easier
Developer: Placed, Inc.
Price: free Download on the App Store
Checkin King provides a simple, yet essential, service for anyone looking to bridge the gap between the multitudes of social media outlets we use on a daily basis. Checkin King allows users to "check-in" using one simple app instead of having to fumble through various social media tools.
Checkin King allows users to check in to Facebook, Foursquare, and Google Places all at once.
"Checking-in," for those readers that are not familiar with the term, is when you post your current location on a social media tool. It has also become a requirement for avid social media users. There are times when I am out for dinner, where I will check into all of my social media outlets before I even begin to think about eating.
Sharing your every move has become a way of life, and Checkin King makes it so much easier to manage all of your social media check-ins.
Checkin King is easy to use and will drastically speed up the process of checking-in to a location. The app uses GPS to automatically find where you are and display near by locations for you to check-in to. Once you decide where you want to check-in to, Checkin King will let you write a message and post it to all three social media outlets if you choose.
The app is indispensable for those high volume social media users. But there were a couple of small issues I noticed with Checkin King that I would love to see fixed.
First, the fact that you can only check into three social media outs is disappointing. Of the three social media outlets that are integrated into the app, I only use one — but overall I use four other social media tools. Checkin King would be a far superior app, if it eventually includes all the other social media outlets that are in the market.
The second issue I noticed was that you cannot add locations to check-in to. If for some reason the location you are trying to check-in to is not loaded into the Checkin King data base then you cannot check-in. Facebook has the capability to add check-in locations and I would love to see the app integrate a similar system.
Checkin King is a great app if you are a Facebook, Foursquare or Google Places user, and will save you a lot of time with the checking-in process. Overall I thought the app was great, but needs to expand its social media data base in order to accommodate more users.

Finnish cuizine is divisive: some find it bland and boring while others praise it for being unique and daring. For those who dismiss Finnish delicacies as boring, I have two words - blood pancakes.
It took me 6 years in Finland to discover this culinary gem. For some reason Finns happily introduce you to their Karelian pies, all the varieties of salmon, herring or liquorice but often avoid to mention that for generations they've been adding blood to pancake dough and devouring the resulting dish with lingonberry jam.
Potential explanation for such prudence is that most people I've talked with have traumatizing childhood memories associated with the dish. Sad as that may be, I think it's a bigger pity that the world at large is mostly unaware of blood pancakes. With the current vampire craze, I'm suspecting there would even be a sizable market for such delicacy.
In Finland you can buy the ready-made pancakes from any local grocery store. For the adventurous souls there is blood available from frozen food sections in the same stores (or fresh blood from meat counters in market halls) and an easy-to-follow recipe online.
The pancake's flavour is fairly mild, but it's still quite distinct. The experience is greatly improved with generous dollops of "puolukka hillo" aka lingonberry jam. Try at your own risk ;)

So with the little left over we have lovingly hand crafted these not cheap and tacky in anyway quality fridge magnets and key rings, and now we are giving them away!
How do you get one?
Just send us a tweet with #pleasegivemesomethingfornothing between 8pm and 9pm BST this evening (13 th May 2014), we'll send you a DM letting you know there's some left and ask you to send us your address – simple hey!
Here's a tweet button to help:
Yes, we'll even cover the postage and a nice squishy envelope!
All we ask is that you are in the UK, we've only made up @WeNurses ones so far, we'll make up more communities soon if they go down well.
So, watch the clock – then get tweeting at 8pm.
We can only do this because of the support that you give us by using the shop, spreading the word and being amazing tweeting nurses and healthcare professionals.

A presidential panel released a report that says swine flu could infect up to half of the U.S. population. It warns that schools could be acutely affected and urges the release of vaccines and drugs in September. The Washington Post reports: "Swine flu could infect half the U.S. population this fall and winter, hospitalizing up to 1.8 million people and causing as many as 90,000 deaths -- more than double the number that occur in an average flu season, according to an estimate from a presidential panel released Monday. The virus could cause symptoms in 60 million to 120 million people, more than half of whom might seek medical attention, the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology estimated in an 86-page report to the White House assessing the government's response to the first influenza pandemic in 41 years. Although most of the cases probably would be mild, up to 300,000 people could require intensive care, which could tie up all those beds in some parts of the country at the peak of the outbreak, the council said." The Washington Post also reports, "The estimates mark the first time experts have released specific calculations about the possible U.S. impact of the pandemic. The 'plausible scenario' is based on previous pandemics and how the swine flu behaved in the United States this spring and during the Southern Hemisphere's winter over the past few months, said Marc Lipsitch of the Harvard School of Public Health, who helped prepare the estimate" (Stein, 8/25). The Wall Street Journal reports: "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said that a larger number of people could become ill with swine flu than contract seasonal flu because the H1N1 virus strain is new and few have immunity to it. About 36,000 people die of the seasonal flu every year, and about 90% of them are over 65 years old. ... (Swine flu cases) would put a strain on the U.S. health-care system, the panel noted, because those patients could occupy between 50% and 100% of available intensive-care beds at the peak of the epidemic in affected regions, while ICU units normally operate close to capacity. Seasonal flu normally causes about 200,000 hospitalizations a year" (McKay, 8/25). CNN reports on the study and lists several recommendations for government agencies (8/24). Meanwhile, Reuters reports on swine flu drugs and vaccines: "U.S. officials should help drug companies speed up the supply of swine flu drugs and vaccines, making at least some shots available by mid-September, White House science advisers said on Monday. ... they also urged the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to quickly decide on new, intravenous formulations of flu drugs, including current drugs such as Roche AG's Tamiflu and GlaxoSmithKline's Relenza but also BioCryst Pharmaceuticals' experimental drug peramivir. The news sent BioCryst's shares soaring more than 25 percent to $12.60 as trading closed on Nasdaq" (Fox, 8/24). Associated Press/Wall Street Journal reports: "In a report, the advisers also urged that federal health officials do more social networking to put the young people targeted by the virus on notice; clarify who should use anti-flu drugs and how; and improve tracking of the fast-moving virus. ... The vaccine issue is tougher. The council recommended that manufacturers begin packaging bulk vaccine into vials and syringes immediately so some could be available in September for those at high risk, rather than awaiting the results of studies under way to settle dosing and other questions. The government already has asked all five manufacturers to bottle its doses as soon as they're ready. ... But just last week, health officials announced a delay in swine-flu vaccine production for a number of reasons, including a logjam at packaging factories" (8/24).
NPR reports: "With school campuses expected to be major transmission points for the spread of the flu, the president's panel called on the Department of Health and Human Services to accelerate the availability of some of the flu vaccine to mid-September. In most of the country, school is in full swing by the beginning of September, and experts said peak infection may occur in mid-October. With young people being at risk for illness, the White House panel recommended an intensive public education campaign aimed directly at them" (Tedford, 8/24). ABC News also reports on the dire warnings, noting, "others are more skeptical, saying these numbers seem to be a worst-case scenario" (Kerkley, Owens and Bass, 8/24).

Life process.
Process:- Various functions carried out by living beings; which are necessary
to maintain and continue life are called life process.
Following are
the life processes in living beings:-
• Nutrition
• Respiration
• Transport
of substances
• Excretion
• Movement
Nutrition: The process by which an organism takes food and utilizes it is
called nutrition.
Need of nutrition: Organisms need energy to perform various activities.
The energy is supplied by the nutrients. Organisms need various raw materials
for growth and repair. These raw materials are provided by nutrients.
Nutrients: Materials which provide nutrition to organisms are called
nutrients. Carbohydrates, proteins and fats are the main nutrients and are
called macronutrients. Minerals and vitamins are required in small amounts and
hence are called micronutrients.
(a) Autotrophic Nutrition: The mode of nutrition in which an organism
prepares its own food is called autotrophic nutrition. Green plants and
blue-green algae follow the autotrophic mode of nutrition.
(b) Heterotrophic Nutrition: The mode of nutrition in which an organism
takes food from another organism is called heterotrophic nutrition. Organisms;
other than green plants and blue-green algae follow heterotrophic mode of
nutrition. Heterotrophic nutrition can be further divided into two types, viz.
saprophytic nutrition and holozoic nutrition.
(1) Saprophytic Nutrition: In saprophytic nutrition; the organism
secretes the digestive juices on the food. The food is digested while it is
still to be ingested. The digested food is then ingested by the organism. All
the decomposers follow saprophytic nutrition. Some insects; like houseflies;
also follow this mode of nutrition.
(2) Holozoic Nutrition: In holozoic nutrition; the digestion happens
inside the body of the organism, i.e. after the food is ingested. Most of the
animals follow this mode of nutrition.

A new planet was discovered that is similar to Earth in size and composition, meaning it has a rocky surface and an iron core. But that is where similarities end. This twin, named Kepler-78b, has an orbit so close to its parent star, that the surface is about 2,000 degrees hotter than Earth's. The planet's orbit around the star takes only 8.5 hours, instead Earth's 12 month orbit. Located 400 light years away from Earth in the constellation Cyngus, this hellish Earth shouldn't exist. For a planet only 20% larger than Earth with such a small orbit, astronomers can't figure out how it was formed. There is no way this planet could have evolved so close to the star, nor could it have evolved further out and migrated inward. One thing is for sure: Kepler won't last long. Astronomers guess that in about 3 billion years, Kepler will succumb to the pull of the star's gravity and be torn apart.

Movies can change the world. The Paradise Lost documentaries on the West Memphis Three ignited a movement to free Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley for a crime they did not commit. Devil's Knot dramatizes the story of the murders, the trail, and the subsequent investigations which pressured Arkansas to release the West Memphis Three. Colin Firth and Reese Witherspoon star.

"A Single Man" Dir. Tom Ford. Starring Colin Firth.
Fear, after all, is our real enemy. Fear is taking over our world. Fear is being used as a tool of manipulation in our society. It's how politicians peddle policy and how Madison Avenue sells us things that we don't need. Think about it. The fear of being attacked, the fear that there are communists lurking around every corner, fear that some little Caribbean country that doesn't believe in our way of life poses a threat to us. Fear that black culture may take over the world. Fear of Elvis Presley's hips. Actually, maybe that one is a real fear. Fear that our bad breath might ruin our friendships… Fear of growing old and being alone. A fear that we're useless and no one cares what we have to say.

In a year which brought Viola Davis, Michelle Williams, Glenn Close, and Rooney Mara all giving electrifying, fully-developed and fascinating female characters, it was Meryl Streep, my goddess, my queen, who deservedly took home Oscar gold. Her performance in "The Iron Lady" was considered a front-runner even before it was released. Yet, when I saw the film I was completely blown away by her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher.
Beyond a detail perfect imitation of the British Prime Minister, Streep imbues the role with such emotion, grace, and courage. In the scenes where Streep plays an elderly Thatcher, I was moved to tears thinking about the plight of the elderly who ache for the past and loved ones long gone. As Thatcher the Prime Minister, I found her formidable and persuasive. i had to take several minutes to remind myself that I'm against the flat tax after her stirring speeches.
When Colin Firth read Meryl Streep's name, my brain froze in shock that my dream of seeing Streep win was coming true. Her speech was everything I could have wanted as she thanked her long time husband, her devoted hair and makeup artist, and the entire Academy that she holds as dear friends.
Streep has two interesting projects coming up. First "Great Hope Springs," a comedy with Tommy Lee Jones and Steve Carell about a middle aged couple going for marriage counseling. David Frankel who directed Streep in "The Devil Wears Prada" is at the helm. Second, she'll be starring with Julia Roberts in film adaptation of the stage play "August, Osage County." Whatever Meryl Streep does is golden and all I can say is more please.
Since the film I like the least ("The Artist") seems to be the front runner for most awards, I'm not going to make predictions. Instead, here are my Oscar hopes ranging from incredibly likely to fanciful dreams.
Martin Scorsese Wins Best Director
Why: Besides the fact I love Scorsese completely and think everything he does is wonderful, I do believe "Hugo" is a great film and uses 3D in a way that enhances the storytelling and never feels gimmicky.
How Likely: Actually, pretty darn likely. The Academy loves Martin Scorsese and may choose to split Best Picture and Director between "The Artist" and "Hugo."
Stuart Craig Wins Best Art Direction
Why: For eight films Craig and his team of movie magicians took the vibrantly imagined world of JK Rowling and brought it to the screen. Much of the fanciful sights in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" are filmed in camera, with digital effects added in later. Craig is responsible for much of what makes HP real and wonderful for fans.
How Likely: 50/50. Stuart Craig has won twice for "Gandhi" and "Dangerous Liaisons" so is no stranger to the Academy. But voters may not be as discerning in the bottom categories and forget Craig's great work.
Gary Oldman Wins Best Actor
Why: More than awarding the best acting achievement of the year, I feel Oscars should recognize a particular actor's best career achievement. It's shocking that "Tinker Tailor Solder Spy" is Gary Oldman's first acting nomination after a lifetime of bold, scene-stealing, and fantastic performances. Yet, Oldman really is his best as George Smiley and loved playing the part.
How Likely: Unfortunately, not bloody likely. Even the Brits gave Dujardin best actor. Where's the love? Where's the national loyalty?
Woody Allen wins and shows up to collect Best Original Screenplay
Why: "Midnight In Paris" is my favorite movie of the year and I wish it had more momentum in the leading categories. The script for "Midnight" is wonderful and each time I see the film, I find something else about it to laugh at or cherish.
How Likely: Pretty likely for the win. Not likely at all for the showing up part.
Meryl Streep Wins Best Actress
Why: Meryl Streep has not won an Oscar in almost 30 years and she gives a towering performance in "The Iron Lady." It's Meryl time, period.
How Likely: Somewhat Likely. Streep won at the Golden Globes and the BAFTAs, which are good signs. Though, Viola Davis took the SAG Awards, so I'm not declaring victory on this one yet.
Prominent Star Wars references when James Earl Jones wins the Thalberg Award
Why: James Earl Jones is an iconic actor with many wonderful film performances, yet I hold his voice work as Darth Vader so close to my soul that I need many Star Wars references. And I don't care what the LA Times thinks, this is Jones' EGOT!
How Likely: Pretty likely, Billy Crystal is hosting after all.
Uggie the Dog
Why: Because America loves Uggie and it was a great year for Jack Russell Terriors in cinema.
How Likely: Almost Assured. I can't say much about "The Artist" in the way of priase, but I will admit Uggie is pretty awesome. What would be better than to have the best acting talent in the film share the stage with Billy Crystal?
Daniel Radcliffe or Michael Fassbender present awards
Why: I think when it comes to promoting films, Radcliffe and Fassbender win the MVP. There isn't anyone or any venue where they won't give an interview. What better time to show up than Hollywood's biggest night.
How Likely: Since I make it my business to know all things Radcliffe or Fassbender and haven't heard anything about presenting, I'll just hope to be surprised.
Meryl Streep Kissing Random People
Why: If you present an award to Meryl Streep, you are going to get a kiss. If you are Ralph Fiennes or Colin Firth, Meryl Streep is going to make out with you on stage. That's her thing and I can't wait.
How Likely: 100% likely since Firth is presenting. And if she doesn't win, I'd bet money she'll grab Viola Davis and kiss her anyway.
The Muppets Perform Anyway
Why: The Muppets should be hosting the show in the first place and were robbed of their chance to preform a variety of songs by the lackluster best Song Category and further ridiculousness of cutting the performances. Miss Piggy hosted the BAFTA Red Carpet like a champ. Bring on the Muppets!
How Likely: Pretty Likely. I bet Billy Crystal includes The Muppets in his act.
I was really surprised and disappointed not to see "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" in the Best Costume Design category this year. More than any other film, the clothes on display are integral in telling the story. The film, based on the novel by John le Carré and multi-part miniseries, condenses a large amount of exposition to elevate the tensions and betrayals between characters.
The costumes fill in the personalities and histories of characters. For instance, Control (John Hurt) often insults Toby Esterhase's background, giving him the code name "Poor Man" because Rich Man would be "inappropriate." Yet, Esterhase is the most stylishly dressed of the Circus high command with his tailored three piece suits, bow ties, and accompanying pipe. The costumes convey Esterhase's need for acceptance and his tendency to over compensate for his humble beginnings, a weakness that is exploited by the mole.
In other ways costumes quietly, but importantly add urgency to scenes. Without noticing, every scene with Gary Oldman's masterful George Smiley feels like an interrogation where time is quickly running out for the other character. Oldman's stillness and intensity raise the stakes, but so do the costumes. Smiley almost never takes off his signature trench coat. An odd suit of armor, Smiley's trench coat make me attuned to his movements because at any point in the conversation, he could get up and leave. He's never settled, never truly comfortable, always on the lookout, always ready to act. It also makes him more of an outsider and detached; exactly the kind of person able to catch the unsuspecting mole.
Next there's Peter Guillam (Benedict Cumberbatch), a medium level intelligence gatherer and loyal soldier to Smiley. Guillam breaks with much of the Circus style conventions, opting for slimming fits and bright colors. Guillam takes Colin Firth's Bill Haydon proper British gentleman style and adds a bit more flair. What could the costumes be insinuating? Perhaps his style clues us into Peter's personal life. Or its curious that Guillam dresses like he would fit in well with Haydon and Esterhase, but is remarkably dedicated to Smiley.
Last and my favorite is Tom Hardy as Ricky Tarr. From the first moment you see Ricky, clad in a bomber jacket, jeans, and multi-patterned shirt you think he is the farthest from Special Intelligence officer. And he is incredibly incompetent, but well meaning. Tarr's casualness sets a strong contrast to Peter and makes us wary of his implied recklessness. All this tells us more about Smiley, setting him as the one person in the Circus who sees beyond appearances and facades to the truth. The costumes in "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" are wonderfully precise, rooted in character, and beautiful to behold.
Things Meryl Streep Does Before Accepting Her BAFTA
1) Throws her head back in exquisite shock
2) Hugs Viola Davis
3) Gives Shailene Woodley her purse to hold
4) Walks like a goddess on stage, but loses her shoe
5) Hobbles to the stage as Colin Firth picks up her shoe
6) As
Prince Charming Colin Firth places her slipper on, she stoops for a kiss.
7) Quotes Margaret Atwood, but not really.
8) Gives a beautiful acceptance speech.
I love you Meryl Streep!
The all star, smoldering cast of "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy."
Gary Oldman
Colin Firth
Benedict Cumberbatch
Mark Strong
Tom Hardy
I'll take one of each, please.

On the design of a reliability circuit simulator
Verweij, Jan and Lunenborg, Meindert (1995) On the design of a reliability circuit simulator. Microelectronics Reliability, 35 (1). pp. 101-103. ISSN 0026-2714
|This paper describes the outcome of a study into the feasibility of a reliability circuit simulator for ICs in general and the critical parameters involved in particular. The necessary conditions are formulated that have to be fulfilled before any construction of the reliability simulator is meaningful or can be done at all. It has been found that failure mechanisms in the wear-out regime meet these conditions. Next, a general approach is given to make a simulator. This approach is actually derived from circuit simulator activities on hot carrier degradation and electromigration, respectively. Finally, the different groups of parameters are defined.

How We Saved Money (63% off!) On Our Kitchen Appliances
We bought nearly $3,800 worth of kitchen appliances this weekend. But if you know anything about us, you know we love a deal. So here's how we managed to shave off about $1,400 from that total (we ended up paying 63% of their original cost). Yee haw!
Before I dive into the heavy math, let's cover some basic questions first. Why new appliances? We'll make this one multiple choice:
- A: We prefer stainless steel over the current bisque / black mix we've got going on.
- B: The wall oven has a big burn mark up the front of it and cooks/burns things unevenly.
- C: Our refrigerator is slowly dying (the ice maker doesn't work and ever since Hurricane Irene it has been cooling unevenly – icy milk anyone?).
- D: All of the above.
If you answered D, you've either been paying close attention or just know that "All of the above" is usually a solid answer. We knew about these "issues" when we bought the house (except C) so we went into this house purchase knowing we'd need to replace our appliances during a future kitchen makeover. So we've been saving our pennies for the last 10 months (many folks wondered why we didn't just dive into a kitchen makeover as soon as we moved, but we like to really think about how we'll use a room – and we also gotta save up before big purchases like these). Even before landing on our peninsula plan a few weeks ago, we've been researching replacements and waiting for the best deal and the right appliances for us. So for the past few months we've been:
- keeping an eye on craigslist for discounted applainces that might work
- hitting up secondhand stores & thrift stores (like the ReStore)
- visiting our local Sears "Scratch & Dent" store
Sadly, none of those "discount" routes were panning out (nothing on craigslist had the right dimensions or matched, secondhand stores weren't selling much more than a few old black or white microwaves and dishwashers, and even the scratch & dent store was selling things at pretty comparable prices to new appliances from Lowe's or Home Depot since most things are on sale around this time of the year whether they're scratched or dented or not). Then we got a sign from the Lowe's website that this was the weekend to pounce:
Well, actually a few signs. Lowe's is our favorite spot to buy appliances since their prices tend to be the lowest we've found and they'll price match. It's actually where we bought all of the appliances for our first house which we used and loved for the entire 4.5 years that we lived there. So seeing their website loaded with discounts was enough to get our butts in gear and make some decisions.
One easy decision was the brand of appliance that we preferred. We lived very happily with a kitchen full of Frigidaires in our last house, so 4.5 satisfied years made us more comfortable with that company than any review could (in almost 5 years of use none of them ever needed to be serviced and still looked mint when we moved). Plus, we wanted to buy all the same brand so the stainless color was consistent from appliance to appliance (some stainless fronts are more brushed than others and can look kind of cobbled together if they're not consistent). In an icing-on-the-cake scenario, we actually ended up getting Frigidaire Gallery models that have a protective coating atop the stainless steel to prevent fingerprints (something we really wanted since we were always wiping down our last ones). So go ahead Clara, do your worst. But before we learned about the fingerprint-proof stainless covering, first it came down to picking out the most functional, fitting, and affordable models for our kitchen. Here's what we ended up with:
- A 22.6 Cu. Ft. Energy Star Counter-Depth Side-by-Side Refrigerator: We learned that our current fridge is actually counter depth, so we definitely couldn't get a standard depth, which would jut even further into the room. This new one is actually more spacious than our current one and the one at our last house (so we're psyched to gain more space without giving up the counter-depth dream), but that's a story for another day. More on that soon.
- An Electric Convection Stove (with Quick-Boil feature): We currently have a convection wall oven and countertop range… but those are extremely expensive to replace, so we're going to convert our kitchen to a standard stove situation. Again, that's a story for another day (soon!). Oh but the added convection and quick-boil features are something we happily would have paid an extra $100-200 for on top of a basic range price, but thanks to sale prices it was just $10 more than a similar model without those features.
- A Microwave: Nothing interesting to say about this one other than it's very similar to the last one we had and loved.
- An Energy Star Dishwasher: Yay. Our first house didn't have a dishwasher until we added one and it changed our life. And we love that it's Energy Star like the fridge.
Even after almost a year of saving for this investment, the prices above are more than a little scary to two cheapskates like us. Thankfully each appliance was already marked down in the store (maybe October is a good markdown month?). The greatest markdown was the fridge (down $500!). The salesman said the price flip flops between $1799 and $1299 and we just caught it at the right time. On top of that, we also caught this at the right time:
The fridge and dishwasher were both Energy Star so that knocked those prices down another 15% (sadly cooking appliances like stoves & microwaves typically aren't Energy Star rated). Happily the stove got the 10% off treatment thanks to the advertised sale that we happened to spot on their website. But the microwave, who was already on sale for $269, didn't qualify (poor guy – things had to be $397 or more).
But all four of them earned this next discount:
We've had a Lowe's card for a while (back from an appliance purchase in our last house, actually) so we scored our usual 5% off on our total purchase price. Down came those already discounted prices (we love that they allowed them to "stack").
Then on top of that…
…Virginia was having a tax-free weekend on Energy Star appliances, effectively taking another 5% off the fridge and dishwasher (since tax here is 5%)! So that's how our grand total ended up being about 63% of what it would've cost originally. A total savings of $1,392. Which essentially means we got the stove and the microwave for free (their original prices add up to $1,248 before all the discounts). The best part is that many of the counter depth fridges that we looked at were more than $2,500 on their own, so we're stunned that we got all of our appliances for less. Take that baby to the market!
They still have to be delivered (for free, as always at Lowe's) which is why this post has no pictures of the new items in place- but we'll definitely share pics when they come. Oh and for anyone wondering, we'll be donating our old appliances to the ReStore since they do free pick-ups (although we might craigslist the cooktop and microwave since they're in newer condition). We've had a productive weekend in the kitchen, so there are a few other ideas/decisions/changes to share. So hopefully we'll be back with lots of kitchen happenings over the next few days! We're still only about 2% there, but the ball is officially rolling!
Okay, so who else saved some moolah this weekend? Er, well, spent some moolah but not as much moolah as they might've originally spent? Ack, you know what I mean. Oh and to any fellow Virginians, all of the sale prices that we took advantage of should be valid through the end of today (the tax free thing along with the 15 & 10% off sales and 5% off any Lowe's card purchase). Just throwing that out there in case it helps!
Psst- Anyone replacing old appliances with Energy Star ones might also be eligible for government refunds (of over $100 if you're replacing your dishwasher & fridge) so you can go here and click the button with the map on it to see what they're giving back in your state.

I got similar savings a few months back with HHGregg down here in Savannah GA. They were running a sale on Whirlpool– so the appliances were already discounted– and came along with rebates.. There was a GA Power rebate for a new fridge, plus another rebate thru the power company if you recycled the old one.. and a rebate for delivery. I saved a ton on my fridge and stove.
Lowes is the best for deals like that. We needed a new washer after it was destroyed after Irene flooded our basement, and we ended up getting a $900 washer for $450 (thanks to price matchingand discounts)!
As an aside- thanks for your spray painted chandelier posts. With your help, I just transformed my dining room (I know that sounds dramatic, but the ORB is a HUGE upgrade from our previous old school brass chandy). Thanks!!!
I also get icy milk depending on where in the fridge I put the milk so I'm thinking about getting a new fridge but I hate pricing them out.
My Parents' old fridge did that too. They couldn't keep the milk in the door since it'd get too warm but not too far in the back either since it'd get icy.
We got a great deal on a puppy this weekend! No, really, we've been looking into getting one, and a co-worker's family member had a 6mo puppy that needed a good home. . .
And she's in our home now! Of course, we just spent $200 at PetsMart, but it was worth it :-D
WOW! Amazing deals! I'm so jealous! We replaced some of our appliances last year and spent much more than this:( SAD!
That is some awesome saving! I would love new appliances.
We have that dishwasher and love it!! Now we're saving our pennies to purchase a gas stove since our 1980's electric one leaves a lot to be desired and also is an uneven cook/burner! Can't wait to see yours in place and the progress you're making on the kitchen!
woohoo! I love new appliances – this weekend I went to IKEA with my husband and bought lots of nursery stuff – I had an old gift card which I guessed had maybe $50 on it (you can't check the balances of IKEA gift cards online) – turns out it was for $89, so I "saved" almost $40! :)
Oh my goodness! That is so exciting! Have you ever gotten a moving packet from your post office? When we moved, they had a great Lowe's coupon in there for 20% off. I wonder if you went there (the post office) and asked for a packet, Lowe's could give you the discount. Or you could save it for a future project…
Very exciting to see that the kitchen remodel is somewhat underway… as I'm sure you wouldn't buy appliances and flooring if you weren't thinking about getting started. I had to go back in time and see you last kitchen, very excited to see how this one transpires in real time. Can't wait to see all the material choices, even little ones like a backsplash (or not?!) Best of luck on the new project! Meanwhile, enjoy the new appliances, but I'm assuming you can't use the stove yet, if you are replacing a wall oven!
dang…what a deal! We definitely lack in the patience department when it comes to purchases. I guess I saved some money this weekend…I bought a bunch of decorative pieces from Goodwill- lol.
Wahoo! I love the way you guys always score (hardy har har)
This weekend I saved some moolah with sweat equity. Took down our white and discustingly greasy range hood, scrubbed, stripped and painted it black to match the rest of our appliances. For $5 in paint we have a brand new looking range hood that matches. Yay!
Ohh and I have always wondered- do the people who subscribe via Google reader count towards your pages hits? I usually click over to the website too just to get the full effect and read comments, but I have always wondered!
have you ever considered going to the post office, where they have a "welcome to your new home" or something like that envelope package? usually you can score a 10% off coupon there.
Hot damn! Great job on snagging all those sales guys! John, awesome job on slipping in $herdog's famous "Take that baby to the market!" So sly. So funny.
Also, I've wanted to let you guys know that you've inspired me to take some creative risks in my new apartment(no matter what anyone else might think) and I've actually never received so many compliments. Just wanted to pass them on. Happy Monday!
Wow – that's incredible! Way to score some great deals! I am also really excited about the whole fingerprint-proof coating on the stainless. I LOVE stainless but dread the idea of having to wipe teh fridge or anything down constantly because of fingerprints (especially little kids ones that get everywhere) or just have to deal with having fingerprints all the time. If there is a brand that prevents that from happening – I am so there!
That is a seriously amazing deal. I haven't made any major purchases lately, but I have an appliance-related story: I was working guest service at Menards over the weekend and I had an older woman come in screaming that she needed a full refund on a refrigerator and for our delivery man to come pick it up from her house. I called the cabinets & appliances department to authorize the return and I found out that she hadn't measured the refrigerator to see if it would fit and our delivery man had to take the doors off it to get it through the front door. He put the doors back on once it was inside and when he went to leave, the woman started screaming at him that he wasn't doing his job. Long story short, she thought he was going to install the refrigerator too. When he said he wouldn't install it, the woman held him hostage in her home until he had the refrigerator up and running. Then she said it was too loud, accused him of installing it wrong and "breaking" it, and wanted us to take it back….free of charge. Handling her transaction was the worst 40 minutes of my life.
My husband and I got our new stainless appliances a few months back. After a horrible experience with HH Gregg delivery (bringing us the wrong dishwasher and a damaged frige), I was able to get us a crazy discount by throwing out the whole "customer service" thing. They ended up giving us a frige model that was the next model up (french doors and everything) for the same price as the one we picked out…Same with the dishwasher. They took off our shipping and delivery for all the hassle and gave us a $100 check back. All in all we got $5000 worth of appliances for $2800:)
Awesome! I actually had that same stove at my first house! We bought it from Lowe's over Columbus Day weekend last year (and have since sold the house). I loved that stove! Loved the convection feature! You will too!
Those are the exact same set of appliances we have in our home! We bought it about a year ago and they had just upgraded all the appliances before we bought it and those are it! I hope you enjoy them!
i just realized you guys were in my dream last night…I was supposed to babysit for you guys (and a bunch of your friends) but Sherry and I went shopping and got back late so John was mad and Clara was already asleep. I was so disappointed that I couldn't play with her! Haha I guess I am on here too much : )
We have the exact same fridge and LOVE it. Counter depth definitly limits your choices but this fridge is a winner in my book!
WE DID! Made the SAME purchase!! But ours was from our handy little Best Buy down the road. Package deal again, but also stainless steal fridgadaire. Going to LOVE when they are delivered. We ALSO stopped by our handy little Sherwin Williams to score a 30% off sale…woo hoo for new paint!
When we moved into our house, we had all lovely 1985 appliances… 4 burner gas stove top, double wall oven, and the dishwasher and refrigerator were missing. We did the craigslist/sears scratch & dent and LUCKED out. We went with black appliances because… well… everyone was doing stainless and I have issues following the pack (and I'd had a stainless oven in a previous home and found it to be the opposite of stainless….) We SCORED big time. We got fridge (french door with freezer drawer), 6 burner stove and dishwasher at Sears S&D for $1800 and then scored an AWESOME double wall oven with this touch/sensor screen thing for $300 on craiglist!!! SOOOO awesome!!!!! Congrats on your good deals!!!
We found a similar (awesome) deal on a dryer at Home Depot this weekend. Regularly $700–we got it for $536 with free delivery and free haul away. And with our Home Depot card, no interest for a whole year. Woo! October is a good time to buy appliances!
Wow this is so encouraging! We don't own yet, everytime we have gone to buy something always comes up to steal our down payment money, thanks car! HA anyways I have always been really afraid of the whole replacing the appliances in an outdated kitchen, I had thought it would cost at least a few thousand more than that! Obviously I have not been shopping around yet but seeing that you spent what I usually see priced on just a fridge I am really impressed and feel that this whole buying a home that needs work is doable.( I am also luckily married to a plumber which helps too:).) You guys encourage my hubby and I every day to see the amazing things you pull off on a budget! Congrats on your great purchases! Thanks for sharing with all of us….
What a score! I have a quick question about your Lowe's credit card (I checked their website but couldn't find the answer) – do you see the 5% savings at the register, or on your statement? TIA! :)
Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh! Thanks for posting this! We have to buy a fridge for our move in December & I've been casually looking around. Because of your post, I checked our state's energy star holiday weekend and it's the first weekend in November- how perfect! I didn't even know that existed– muchos gracias!!!
btw. our rate here is 7.5%!
I'm loving the stainless steal! hahaha Get it?! LOL I'm a dork, but I own it =D
haha–Stainless Steal would've made a great punny blog title for this entry, J &S!
This is too funny, this spring we also replaced all our appliances with these exact ones from Lowes. Well, except our stove doesn't have the glass top. Anyway, we love them and it is SO AWESOME to have them all replaced at once. It's like you won on a game show or something. Enjoy!
I got weird mobile from the Crate & Barrel outlet in Alexandria! That place rocks!
I LOVE A GOOD SALE…to the tune of I love a Parade.
Congrats on the new appliances.
You both seem to have the best of luck and are the BEST SHOPPERS ever!!!
We scored on a rug for the new nursery this weekend at World Market! 1/2 off after the rug sale and friends and family discount so that made my weekend. These deals are amazing though!
Nice savings! We have the same stove and dishwasher. I love them, but the dishwasher's top agitator is too for our – apparently – large dinner plates, so they have to be handwashed. Not too much of a pain since there are only two of us, but still not completely awesome. That's my only complaint about either appliance.
We also got a great deal on them, because we opened our Lowe's card when we purchased for 10% savings, and had another 10% off for being new homebuyers. They were also discounted 10 or 15% to begin with, so we ended up with a great deal on both.
I upgraded this year to all new stainless appliances. I was worried that they had to all be the same brand, but several people assured me that wasn't the case. So I have a Samsung fridge, GE range, Whirlpool microwave, and Fridgidaire microwave. I never really thought about the stainless finishes not matching. But they look ok so it's no biggie.
I can't wait to see your after photos. It's going to be epic I know!
We have the same appliances in our kitchen (our oven is straight up gas, though). What do you think of the chicken nuggets buttons? We bought our house with the appliances and we both think the fact that the oven and microwave have a specific button for chicken nuggets is hilarious, but we don't have kids. Maybe it does come in handy?
We bought chicken nuggets the first night we moved in to celebrate. :)
Congratulations, super-savers!
What great savings you guys got! Me and my hubs took advantage of Labor Day sales to replace all the outdated appliances in our house. We got all Frigidaire appliances for our kitchen too. We got a Samsung washer and dryer. I can't wait to have some pretty and energy-efficient models in our home!
Yay! thanks for this post. I have been looking at new appliances, so I am grateful for your recommendation of Frigidaire. I am actually planning on replacing my Maytag wide by side with a freezerless fridge. We have an upright freezer in the laundry room and I think it would have been super smart to have done this before! One of those slap your forehead moments! I am excited and hoping the maytag bites the dust so I can get er done! Also thinking of going stainless throughout, when I paint my lovely mocha oak cabinets white! This is a four year out plan. I planned to change things up when we had been in this house for 10 years, and we have 6 years down! I love watching you transform your house and am so excited you are starting on the kitchen!! I am hanging on your every post!!!
My husband and I did the same thing at Lowes in the winter when we remodeled. Saved about $1000. That can make a person giddy :)
Nice work guys!! I wish I had some of your determination when it comes to getting good deals. I have the very same refrigerator, also the low profile. I like it a lot except for one thing, it has pretty small door shelves compared to my old fridge. The lower racks on the door(?–i'm not even sure what you put there?) are kind of unusable. Maybe you can fill me in on what those are for? The freezer is nice and roomy! I'm eagerly awaiting your kitchen remodel, particularly painting the cabinets. DH and I are currently not seeing eye-to-eye on the subject…hoping your remodel will sway him! ;)
Our 50's house does not have a dishwasher either, and has a small galley style kitchen. We'd have to lose a cabinet obviously to put one in. How hard was it to install? Scared to try it since we know nothing about wiring and plumbing – is it a DIY kinda thing?
Enjoy, guys! And for anyone who is still saving up, I highly recommend going to the Home Depot just before Black Friday. We did that last year, and got a $2,800 stainless LG fridge for $1,600, and a $1,000 LG dishwasher for $500. We used a Christmas bonus we get early, but they also have 12 month no-charge financing. I never knew it was possible to fall in love with a refrigerator, but I have! :D
I have to say, i just love you guys! My husband and I just bought a house and we are replacing all the appliances this week. You guys are so sweet to share this. This post was such a HUGE help! We are on our way to Lowe's right now! THANKS!!!!
We bought a new dishwasher a couple weeks ago as part of our kitchen remodel. We were going to wait until next year to buy appliances but b/c we were putting the dw in a new location, my husband said he only wanted to do the install once and never have to do it again for the rest of his life (in this house anyway).
We bought ours at Best Buy. It wasn't the best deal we've ever found (though their price for the model we wanted to get was cheaper thn anywhere else) and it's been a giant adjustment figuring out how to get it to work properly! 1st load – too much soap = scummy residue on the bottoms of all the glasses. 2nd load – proper amount of soap – but everything was still really wet after the drying cycle! 3rd load – proper amount of detergent + rinse aid = near perfection. Too bad rinse aid is super expensive b/c apparently it's going to become a big part of my life!
Anyway our new dw is a Samsung and it is SUPER quiet and I love that the controls are hidden on the top of the door under the counter, and also that our new dw holds a TON of dishes. And the cutlery basket is designed with a little slot for each item so the spoons will never stick together and come out still dirty!
I tried to save myself some money this weekend by repairing my own dripping tub faucet instead of hiring a plumber. The good news is it's no longer dripping, the crappy news is the hot and cold are now backwards and you have to shift the handle a pinch backwards while showering to get the full effect of the hot water. Later tonight I might take it apart again and try and "fix it" lol. But the good news is so far all its cost me is a part and no plumber! hehe
Awesome score. I've been waiting so patiently for the kitchen remodel. I am so excited for things to come!
congrats on the MEGA SAVINGS!!! that rocks!
we are gonna run our appliances into the group but do always envy that lil' green star and wonder how much our bills would shrink if we weren't kickin' it old school, over here!
we ALSO saved some moolah this weekend! we DIY'd three floating shelves for our lil' mans nursery out of leftover trim and particle board…the price tag? FREE! we had all the materials, cha-ching!
Great price considering sometimes a fridge can cost as much as everything you bought. Love a good deal.
This weekend I found two light fixtures at Goodwill for a total of $20. One fixture will be a temporary step up from what we currently have in the bathroom while the other one will fit in perfectly in our laundry room. Oh, and we also got four brand new (tags on and all) lawn chairs there for half the price of what they would have cost at retail price! I wouldn't necessarily say I saved money (as we weren't there looking for these items), but we did score a great deal!
You aren't considering a kitchen overhaul seven weeks before Thanksgiving and eleven weeks before Christmas, are you?
yah for savings!
I've been watching a duvet cover at west elm for the past few months and it was finally marked down from 109 to 79.99. But we were near the store this weekend and went in to check out other bedding. Found the duvet I loved for 49.99! Total Steal!

Quantitative Analysis Reports
Medicaid Expansion Would Lighten Spending Burden
A state-by-state analysis shows where Medicaid expansion could have the most impact on reducing the financial burden of medical costs.
A state-by-state analysis shows where Medicaid expansion could have the most impact on reducing the financial burden of medical costs.
As many as 40 percent of the nation's 1.3 million uninsured veterans could qualify for Medicaid under provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a new analysis suggests. Whether veterans receive these benefits depends on which states opt to expand Medicaid.
Despite the far-reaching Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), large numbers of low-income uninsured adults won't be eligible because of their immigration status. This brief provides the first state-specific estimates of the number of uninsured low-income adults who fall into that category.
Fifty-five percent of the public say establishing the exchanges is a "top priority," according to a survey released by RWJF, the Kaiser Family Foundation, and the Harvard School of Public Health.
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) implementation, hospitals will likely gain $2.59 in new revenue from Medicaid participants for every dollar lost from private health insurance revenue.

A recent article had come out in our local newspaper, The Miami Herald, which was rather insulting and had been eating away at me for a few weeks. The article painted a disrespectful and insulting picture of the hard working women in our cast, and quite frankly the entire Housewives franchise.
As a result of this article, you may have noticed a lack of patience on my part towards Karent and her recent social blunders. No, I am not jumping on the band wagon to beat up on Karent, because quite frankly, I do not dislike her. I did however think this article was inappropriate, insulting, and could have been completely avoided.
I arrived at Lisa's lingerie fundraising event quite happy to be there. I think Lisa did a great job, and I see many philanthropic strides in her future. I had not been at the event more than three minutes and was barely clinging to my cocktail when Karent swoops in to tell me that my attire is not acceptable to Joanna's liking. Really? I mean, I barely know Karent. We have exchanged a few hellos and glances up until this point. In fact, she hardly knew any of us. Furthermore, if Joanna was so upset, she could have very easily come up to me and we would have discussed it, which we eventually did later that evening.
This welcome to the party "greeting" by Karent irritated me tremendously; and as we saw in this episode, it clearly set the tone for the disaster that became the rest of the evening. While no one really wants to attack or shift the blame to anyone specifically, we also cannot ignore the fact that Karent was somehow connected to the unfortunate events that followed.

The staff were very friendly and incredibly helpful. On arrival they gave us a map of Krakow and highlighted points of interest and good places to eat. Our apartment was approx 15 mins walk from the hostel and a member of staff walked with us to ensure we found it. Couldn't get a better location, very close to centre but tucked away so it's fairly quiet at night. The apartment itself was fantastic! It was clean, warm and had everything we needed. Already recommended to family and friends.

Court rejection ends legal course to reopen airport
The U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision not to hear an appeal of the 1999 closing of Richards-Gebaur Memorial Airport near Kansas City, Mo., ends the legal attempts to reopen the site as an airfield. AOPA had sued the FAA, contending the agency had "abused its discretion" when it released Kansas City from its obligation to maintain the airport as a condition for accepting federal funding. In addition, AOPA contended that as a former military airport, Richards-Gebaur was subject to the Surplus Property Act, which meant it must be operated as an airport in perpetuity.

Appreciating some stillness amidst the crazy.
I'm becoming reacquainted with my camera these days.
Some photos from my new life as a stay-at-home-mom.
Sometimes you have to lie on the grass with your kid and your cat to see the world.
Even if your legs and arms itch all day tomorrow.
favorites from the day before Christy and Hayden's wedding, now almost a month ago.
Every day I am grateful for a wonderful home and the wonderful family in it.
Sunset hike with Wheatstone friends.
wherein I fell in love with our white countertop tiles.

"A family without men, the Birches live gloriously offbeat lives in the lush, green backwoods of North Carolina. Radiant, headstrong Sophia and her shy, brilliant daughter, Margaret, possess powerful charms to ward off loneliness, despair, and the human misery that often beats a path to their door. And they are protected by the eccentric wisdom and muscular love of the remarkable matriarch Charlie Kate, a solid, uncompromising, self-taught healer who treats everything from boils to broken bones to broken hearts.
"Sophia, Margaret, and Charlie Kate find strength in a time when women almost always depended on men, and their bond deepens as each one experiences love and loss during World War II."
"...the story of the Binewskis, a carny family whose mater- and paterfamilias set out–-with the help of amphetamine, arsenic, and radioisotopes–-to breed their own exhibit of human oddities. There's Arturo the Aquaboy, who has flippers for limbs and a megalomaniac ambition worthy of Genghis Khan . . . Iphy and Elly, the lissome Siamese twins . . . albino hunchback Oly, and the outwardly normal Chick, whose mysterious gifts make him the family's most precious–-and dangerous–-asset. As the Binewskis take their act across the backwaters of the U.S., inspiring fanatical devotion and murderous revulsion; as its members conduct their own Machiavellian version of sibling rivalry, Geek Love throws its sulfurous light on our notions of the freakish and the normal, the beautiful and the ugly, the holy and the obscene. Family values will never be the same."
"In 1956, toward the end of Reverend John Ames's life, he begins a letter to his young son, an account of himself and his forebears. Ames is the son of an Iowa preacher and the grandson of a minister who, as a young man in Maine, saw a vision of Christ bound in chains and came west to Kansas to fight for abolition: He 'preached men into the Civil War,' then, at age fifty, became a chaplain in the Union Army, losing his right eye in battle. Reverend Ames writes to his son about the tension between his father - an ardent pacifist--and his grandfather, whose pistol and bloody shirts, concealed in an army blanket, may be relics from the fight between the abolitionists and those settlers who wanted to vote Kansas into the union as a slave state. And he tells a story of the sacred bonds between fathers and sons, which are tested in his tender and strained relationship with his namesake, John Ames Boughton, his best friend's wayward son.
"This is also the tale of another remarkable vision--not a corporeal vision of God but the vision of life as a wondrously strange creation. It tells how wisdom was forged in Ames's soul during his solitary life, and how history lives through generations, pervasively present even when betrayed and forgotten."
"There ought to be a name for the genre Murakami ... has invented, and it might be the literary pyrotechno-thriller. ... Embellished with witticisms, wordplay and allusions to such figures as Stendhal heroes and Lauren Bacall, the tale is set in a Tokyo of the near future. Thanks to a wonderland of technology, an intelligence agent has had his brain implanted with a 'profoundly personal drama' that allows him to 'launder' and 'shuffle' classified data, and all that he knows of the drama is its password, The End of the World.
"But after interference from a scientist and from the Semiotecs, a rival intelligence unit, the subconscious story is about to replace the agent's own perceptions of reality. Intertwined with the agent's attempts to understand his plight are scenes from The End of the World. Murakami's ingenuity and inventiveness cannot fail to intoxicate; this is a bravura performance."
"In the last novel written before his death in 1993, one of Japan's most distinguished novelists proffered a surreal vision of Japanese society that manages to be simultaneously fearful and jarringly funny. The narrator wakes one morning to discover that his legs are growing radish sprouts, an ailment that repulses his doctor but provides the patient with the unusual ability to snack on himself. In short order, Kobo Abe's unraveling protagonist finds himself hurtling in a hospital bed to the very shores of hell. Abe has assembled a cast of oddities into a coherent novel, one imbued with unexpected meaning."
"This book begins with the narrator, Calliope Stephanides, explaining that he was "born twice," first as a baby girl in 1960, then as a teenage boy in 1974. To explain his situation, Cal starts in 1922, when his grandparents came to America. In his role as the "prefetal narrator," he tells the love story of this couple, who are brother and sister; his parents are blood relatives as well. Then he tells his own story, which is that of a female child growing up in suburban Detroit with typical adolescent concerns. The story questions what it is that makes us who we are and concludes that one's inner essence stays the same, even in light of drastic outer changes."
"In the city of Enugu, Nigeria, fifteen-year-old Kambili and her older brother, Jaja, lead a privileged life. Their Papa is a wealthy and respected businessman; they live in a beautiful house; and they attend an exclusive missionary school. But, as Kambili reveals in her tender-voiced account, their home life is anything but harmonious. Her father, a fanatically religious man, has impossible expectations of his children and wife, and severely punishes them if they're less than perfect. Home is silent and suffocating. When Kambili's loving and outspoken Aunty Ifeoma persuades her brother that the children should visit her in Nsukka, Kambili and Jaja take their first trip away from home.
"Once inside their Aunty Ifeoma's flat, they discover a whole new world. Books cram the shelves, curry and nutmeg permeate the air, and their cousins' laughter rings throughout the house. Jaja learns to garden and work with his hands, and Kambili secretly falls in love with a young charismatic priest. When a military coup threatens to destroy the country and Kambili and Jaja return home changed by their newfound freedom, tension within the family escalates."

Buy to the sound of gunfire? Really? Has the person who wrote this "clever" headline even set foot in the city of Detroit? As someone who works in Detroit, received my doctorate at Wayne State University in Detroit, and owns a home 2.5 miles from the Detroit border, I care deeply about what happens to this city. I find this title to be disgusting and offensive, and The Economist should post an apology to all Detroiters for printing it. Titles like this are typical of people that don't really know the city, but act like they do, and it counteracts all the positive things the article actually says. Grow up Economist, if you want to report on Detroit, why don't you talk to people who actually live and work in the city to see what they have to say?

Nikki Gomez -- one of the stars on the new reality show "Big Sexy" -- knows what the best part of waking up after sex is -- and it ain't a cup o' joe. No, Nikki's a woman with good taste.
Check out TMZ on TV -- click here to see your local listings!
I stumbled across this show and couldn't stop watching it, in fact i missed some parts the first time so watched it again. Funny isn't it how this culture treats it's Food Lovers , like they have leprosy and they'll get fat if they look at them , so un evolved, Fat throughout history is assiociated with wealth and prosperity, this generaqtion is the only one who is afraid of fat cells. It's okay , watch it, it might be contagious in another way like fat for your souls. dumbasses. No FAT JOKES
Plus it makes me feel thin ...i know it's messed up.
B*tches like to eat. You like to sit at the gym. Some fat b*tches actually have jobs to go to, instead of going to the gym every day for 5 hours at a time. I don't believe stupidity should be celebrated either, but there are far more shows dealing with being braindead than there are for fat people. Instead people pretend like they can't READ A BOOK, or go to school, or leave their house - but that's okay. Fat people... are... not. Smarts are great, stupid assbags are not.
I don't know who she is, but if she had good taste she wouldn't be on a crappy reality show.
Diabetes and then heart attack. Sexy...no.
I am a friend of Nikki's & am pretty appalled at the comments on here. I've known her more than half my life. Just FYI I am a size 2 & do some modeling as well & I can truly say Nikki is one of the most stunning women I know. She is not unhealthy in any way, she is just naturally curvy. She is a very positive person & radiates good energy & confidence. Please remember that these are real ppl. The fact that she & the other girls are on a "reality show" doesn't make them any less human. The point of the show is to celebrate diversity & to reach out to women who may be "plus sized" and let them know that they are just as beautiful as women my size. I know ppl will always say cruel things, esp. on the internet but I couldn't just read these awful things about her & not say anything back...the irony is I've known her 20 yrs & in that time, she ALWAYS has men lining up to go out w/ her. Not to mention she's just a good person & friend & an example of what you can accomplish by following your dreams. She is a truly beautiful person, inside and out. 'Nuff said :)
People who left nasty comments about this women r just haters and I am sure you guys are far from perfect too I'm guessing hairy and bad teeth maybe a small penis?? . People come in all different sizes , shapes , colours so get over it and grow up snobs
This woman has a great face and breasts...period!

If you're like me and haven't had the chance to watch Donald Driver on the dance floor during his time on Dancing with the Stars – here's your chance.
Driver and his partner Peta Murgatroyd – or is it the other way around – received a total score of 28 from judges Carrie Ann Inaba (9), Len Goodman (9) and Bruno Tonioli (10). That puts them in a great position to continue toward the finals.
What's exciting about this particular dance is the special guests that flash on the screen at the 2:39 mark of the video. Packers fans will get a kick out of this.

Windows 7
How To Share Internet Connection With iPhone
I travel quite a bit and would like to use iPhone via WiFi, but usually hotel rooms only have LAN connection.
2 months ago I was able to setup a ad-hoc connection between my netbook and iPhone, and iPhone accessing the Internet. But today I tried again but failed - I was able to use iPhone to join the ad-noc network but iPhone cannot access the Internet. (for example, when I tried the Google site, iPhone shows the turning circle with the word "connecting")
The steps I used are:
1. Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Netwrok and SHaring Center
2. Setup a Connection or Network
3. Setup a wireless ad-hoc network
4. Enter SSID and use WPA2-Personal
5. Turn on Internet connection sharing.
I appreciate your help and advice.
