'Jumanji' was that mid-90s movie with Robin Williams that was ostensibly based on a board game but actually based on a book. It's a fine enough movie that made some money and showed off what were, at the time, some impressive visual FX.

It seems early to speculate on another film but when a director as good as Tarantino talks retirement, you need to enjoy what few movies you may have left. So what's Tarantino got up his sleeve for his next project?

This is my favorite method. I usually scoop a handful of chocolate wafers out of the bowl and set them aside and I warm the remaining chocolate. Once melted, I toss the handful of wafers back in to help temper the chocolate and then they usually dry within a couple of minutes. I made both dark chocolate and milk chocolate.
I love this choc for baking and making candy. These choc strawberries are very good and quick
Very good

Top Local Tips for Houston
Reliant Stadium The Stadium was beautiful and you need to buy the brunch at the Bubble next to the stadium it was great.
Houston is a great restaurant town There is something for everybody in this town. I am from Chicago, which is one of the best restaurant towns in the US. Some recommendations, which I have been to several times: The House of Pies on Kirby--great for breakfast and open 24 hours. Carrabbas on KIrby--good atmosphere and good Italian food--service is great. For a deli--Kenny and Ziggy's on Post Oak Drive near the Galleria is very authentic and has a good lox and bagel breakfast. Lupe's Tortilleria on the frontage Road--2414 Southwest Freeway good resonablly priced Mexican food and wonderful fajitas. For lunch or a light dinner--Ruggles in Rice Village can't be beat. Places I have been to once--Goode and Company on Kirby for barbeque, Marks American Restaurant--very expensive, but very good. I was disappointed the Americas on Post Oak, Expensive, loud and the food is only average. Lupes has better beef at half the price.
Romantic Dining - The Capital Grille I found this initially in Washington, D.C. and it is, by far, the best dining experience I have had anywhere. The aged beef is to die for. Definitely not a a cheap affair (with a bottle of wine, appetizer, entree, side, dessert, and tip, it's easy to spend $100/person) but the experience is one that is worth having for celebrations, at least.

Any Maintainers Over 55 here?
Anyone here in the Maintenance Forum in the 55+ part of life?
I'd be interested in some threads on maintenance skills and notes, food plans, movement/exercise, and enjoying life, if others are, too.
Hope you all have a lovely evening. :)
I am a young Senior over 55. Been maintaining (AGAIN) since January of this year. I've been a "yo-yo" dieter all my life and am trying hard to approach Maintenance from a health standpoint; not so I can look skinny. I have found counting calories now works best for me. I was a devout lowcarber for a pretty long time and lost 70 pounds in about a year and a half. I had stopped at about 60 pounds lost the first year I was doing lowcarb, got sick and lost another 10 pounds (down to 91 pounds). Kept the weight off for a couple of years and when my daughter got married I started putting the weight back on. A bite of that wedding cake did me in. From there I ate everything I had been missing for so long. I didn't stop until I was at 147 pounds. Now I'm back around 108 pounds and feel like I am where I need to be. Walking is about the only exercise I get and wish I could at least get into a "weight lifting" routine. Have a WiiFit which I've used only a couple of times and need to put it to work. I try to steer away from foods that are considered junk. Probably the worst thing I eat is a little fat free ice cream and I'm a "Jelly Belly" fanatic. Otherwise, its whole grains, veggies including potatoes and corn, fruit, lean meats and seafood. No fried foods. I stay around 1500-1600 calories/day and seem to be maintaining without any trouble.
:hiya::hiya: Subscribing, thanks for bringing your thoughts to the forum! I hope this thread takes off! I'm getting to maintenance, and am very interested in the topics you mention. Age 58.
Jonah's Granny, thanks so much for your post. It helps to read what others have done and how they maintain their success.
Jkaay, I'm hoping that I'm only a few weeks away from maintaining and am reading quite a bit on it. I won't get there as fast as I'd like, but I'm making progress.
I walk each day and do Callanetics and add something else, just for fun. The extra movement is some kind of stretching, ballet warm-ups, improvisational dance, or something very soft and nourishing. The Callanetics and walking, along with my gardening and chores, are strenuous enough. In inclement weather, I sometimes jump on a mini-trampoline instead of walking.
Am trying to put a bit more variety in my food plan, and am still experimenting with how many calories and carbs, how often to eat this or that.
I miss being able to drink more caffeine. Weighing less and being over 55 has limited my tea drinking.
One of the challenges is really planning rest times. Having short rests really helps me.
I'm so glad you both posted. It'd be grand if some others post here, too.
Hope you have a lovely evening! :)
Em, why cut down on caffeine and if so, can't you get caffeine free tea? I drink too much caffeine and it just wires me.
I am a "young" 55. LOL! I have been maintaining for almost 2 1/2 years now. I am short at about 5'. I find that being at this lower weight that I do have to watch calories. I also do a pretty strict lowcarb diet with no starches, sugar or grains. I feel so much better eating this way so no reason to eat the other stuff. I am totally satisfied the way I eat and I had yo-yo dieted for over 30 years. This is the first time I have ever stayed at goal for more than a few months. I do not have an exercise routine but I do watch 2 grandchildren 3x a week. We dance, jump, run, lift them, etc. I do walk but am not as good as I should be about it. I make sure I drink at least 64 oz. of water a day but I also have a huge diet coke habit. It is my only vice so don't slam me. LOL! I am finally happy with my weight for the very first time in my entire life.
I need to add the most important part of maintaining for me is that I am a TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) member. It keeps me accountable weekly so I don't go on a binge. I was a binge eater.
Hi, JG! I drink loose tea, the fancy kind, made with carefully purified water, and special temperatures and pots, and all that stuff. I'm sorry, I ought to have explained what sort of tea I drink. I just drink what I like early in the morning and enjoy every smell and sip. We all like what we like, and don't like what we don't.
Thanks very much for the kind suggestion, though. :)
Hello, Dianne! Thanks for your post. It's nice to read about your success. Congratulations!
Hope everyone has a lovely evening!
Are you all retired? Still working? Do you exercise in smaller segments or all at once? Do you exercise at home?
Right now I don't have access to a gym but I do like using the weight machines. I use the treadmill for walking mostly, and am doing well with increasing time, but not so well at increasing intensity.
:heart: Jan
Good Morning, JKaay!
I'm still working. I exercise in small segments. I sometimes walk ten or twenty minutes at a time. Though try to get in walks of an hour or more once or twice each week. This summer, I usually walk 30-40 minutes each day plus the one long walk. I currently do my Callanetics in one segment of about 40 minutes and add extra stretches later in the day. I am adding short movement "refreshments" in my day as I work at a computer a good deal. Adding intensity is not really in the picture for me. I will increase the repetitions of an exercise or make the exercises a smidgen more difficult, but, if I add too much intensity, as in too strenuous or too long, it just wears me out too much. It's just how it is now. Experiencing some of things slowing down has given me a great deal more understanding of the very old.
I spend a good bit of time with very elderly folks and notice that they quite enjoy a bit of movement, but not too much at once. It gives me glimpses of things to come. I'm enjoying how much I can move these days. :)
Am off to water the plants and exercise. Will check in afterwards.
Em, thanks foir starting this thread.
Congrats NW Loser on all that weight loss. Would love to see a comparison picture.
I believe just because we are older doesn't mean we can't maintain our weight goal. Maybe our metabolism slows down some but I thnk it simply is eating right and getting moderate exercise that keeps us on track. Not only that; I see so many people my age and younger who have such a hard time getting around just beacause they are too heavy. I know there are many with disabilities and can't do any better but the majority of them are just FAT! They could do the same thing we are trying to do if they would just do it. Its not easy but I'm proud to say I love the way my 2P jeans fit. I'm very small boned and wear a size 4 ring and know the least little bit of weight shows on me.
JG, you are proof that the best things come in small packages! :)
I, too, am amazed at how many people can't move because they are so heavy, and it does seem to be so prevalent. It is hard to move when one is too heavy.
When I was a child, seeing someone who was very heavy was most unusual. I think sometimes about Mrs. Reagan and "Just say 'No'!" and how it'd be grand if that campaign were around now for being healthy and fit. There just isn't the same frame of reference in America anymore. I'm very grateful that I changed my ways. I wasn't heavy very long, but it was there. I don't remember any all-you-can-eat places until just a few years ago. I lived overseas for a long time and the Europeans would make comments about those sorts of eating locales. I think that eating out and fast food has contributed greatly to the problem. Goodness, what a huge subject.
I'm 5' 7", but notice every pound, too. I really enjoy keeping my plan these days.
Good morning too! I'm job hunting and currently have extra time this summer, which I'm filling up with exercise for me and playing with my three grandsons!
One big reason for losing weight for me was to be able to get active with them...(ages 3,4,6) and I can! I'm good at reading stories and baking cookies...but I can walk, swim and bike ride too! I did go roller skating with them (which was amazingly fun...until I fell!) and hiked (walked :p) in Yosemite. I'm kind of finding my way physically after being sedentary for so many years.
I have not given up coffee.
I can sit comfortably with my legs crossed!
:heart: Jan
I've always wanted to be tall and have pretty long slender legs. I give up:rofl:
I agree with you jkaay - its wonderful to know you can run and play with those grandchildren. I have an 8, 6, 18 months, and 3 month old. My problem is none of them live close to me. Two in TX and two in NC. My husband and I spend our extra money on airline tickets when we can get the time off from work. Hard to have extra money these days so I don't get to go like I would like to. Just the same, they are so hard to keep up with and hard to believe mine had that kind of energy. I know one of the other grandmothers is pretty heavy, has a terrrible knee problem, and can hardly get around. Makes me feel young compared to the way she gets around.
NWLoser - I'm not familiar with TOPS but heard a lot about it. What is their Maintenance Program like?
Do any of you ever have cheat days?. I haven't in about a year and a half but sometimes I get tempted. If I could do it for just one meal and then get right back to eating right, I would do it. I keep thinking one meal a week surely would not create a weight problem even though I know it would not be a good idea. What do you all do when you really know there is something you want to eat and its not good for you? Is life really too short to do without certain things for the rest of your life?
I also think about other people who cannot afford to eat what they want and would love to have my present menu. Then I think, I'm so stupid for even worrying about every bite that goes in my mouth. Do we ever outgrow the desire to be thin???
I do not intend to go without forever. I'm not quite sure how I am going to manage this :doh: but it is a goal of mine to inclide bits of the wonderful flavors the world has to offer in my diet.
It took me most of my adult life to figure out that carbs were killing me! I'm 57 and have been maintaining for 4yrs now and have never enjoyed food more. I do a Bowflex routine every second day, high reps-low impact. My wife got on board with lc about 2 years ago and has had a great change in her over all health.:)
I try to give myself treats so that I don't feel deprived. I like prunes and dried figs and occasionally will eat some dry-roasted cashews. In the winter, I sometimes bake custard with organic sugar, and use less than the recipe calls for, or I'll use canned pumpkin and put in some cream, nutmeg and maple syrup. I find it easier to stay on my plan in hot weather.
I prefer eating at home, but once in a while will go out, and those meals are usually not things I would normally eat. It always takes me a couple of days to get back to my regular eating and feel good if I go too far off my plan. I prefer to keep things within my regular range.
I don't think in terms of "cheat", but try to plan in a few indulgent things so that the "feel deprived and go off plan" doesn't kick in.
Have just put dried figs on the grocery list!
The first photo was taken in November 2006 with our first grandchild and the second photo was taken in August 2009 with our second grandchild. Quite a difference!
In TOPS when you reach your goal there is a leeway of weight. You can be 7 lbs. under goal and 3 lbs. over goal. That is part of the way they have you maintain as no one can stay the same weight exactly week after week. I have always been under goal. My goal weight is 115 and so I stay around 110-112. But I could go as low as 108 and as high as 117 and still be maintaining. If you go out of leeway and don't get back in 2 weeks, you lose your KOPS status. KOPS stands for Keep Off Pounds Sensibly. Feel free to ask any questions you have.
Oh, look at you lovely lady! (The babies are adorable too.)
NWLoser - Now that you are maintaining, why do you stay with KOPS? Are there meetings IRL where you get to make friends?
Does anyone occasionally, on purpose skip what's on your exercise plan, for no good reason?
It's wonderful that you have a live in LC partner! Does she do Bowflex routines too?
I do not cheat as a former binge eater, I would not do well cheating. I have tasted foods occasionally but do not eat lots of carbs. I eat very simply and prefer to eat at home although we do dine out about once or so a week. I am so satisfied eating this way after 30 years of yo-yo dieting that I will never look back and don't miss any foods. I know this will sound weird but if I really want to know how something tastes, I smell it. A good portion of taste is the smell so I get total satisfaction from that. :blush:
Jkaay, yes, shopping does put all sorts of things right there in front of one. I really enjoy eating simply. I read an article recently about those who maintain weight loss. One of the things the study reported that folks who maintain their weight loss usually have fewer televisions and watch much less tv. I find life nicely calm without a tv. I had an elderly friend who used to tell me about how quiet life was before radio, and before the telephone and that her father didn't like how the telephone interrupted the rhythms of family life and privacy.
Dianne, congratulations on your maintenance and your beautiful grandchildren. I do the "smell fulfillment" sometimes, too. So much of what I used to think was nice to eat no longer appeals to me. That part is nice, too.
It is interesting to read about how different the success stories are, and how different the ways are of maintaining that success.
Rick, glad to see a male in the group. Always good to get a man's input. I certainly understand why lowcarb works and the science behind it. I knew it had to be true from my own personal experience. I love Gary Taubes' explanation of it. My problem is that I'm not a big meat eater and love my fruits and veggies more. I believe I can eat healthy and still have my carbs. I know I should eat more fats and protein and less carbs but I have found what works for me. By the way, can you tell us your wife's screen name; does she post here?
Dianne, you really look good and certainly thin enough. I know having something like KOPS must help you to maintain.
jkaay - I have no exercise routine other than walking about every Morning. At some point in the day, if I'm not sick, etc. I manage to at least stay active. Its hard sitting at a desk at work all day but I'm constantly moving around. I have a lot of nervous energy.
My after pictures are in my gallery.
I've been reading your posts and considering breaking in. I'm 58 yrs. 5'8.5" and weighed today @ 150.4 lbs. I would like to be 5 lbs less but that requires major work and my body doesn't respond to lc like it used to. 11 yrs ago I went from 165 to low 140's pretty simply b/c I didn't know about the sf alcohols and ate very clean-I've done it many times since but each time my low gets higher. I don't walk much anymore-feet problems. I do need exercise I know. Right now I'm IFing until lunch-7:00 pm and it's taken a couple of lbs. off. Anne
Welcome to Em's thread. How do you like being tall? Your weight sounds great. You just trying to maintain?
JG, your photos look super. Congratulations on your success!
Anne, welcome! How nice to have you here. Congratulations to you, too! I know what you mean about five pounds requiring major work now.
I don't think of this as my thread. I just wanted a place for older maintainers.
Hope you all are having a very nice morning. :)
Well over age 55 here and have been maintaining for many years following Atkins. As for exercise, I only walk daily and use light hand weights.
I made one of the LC pizza recipes today, and it was delicious! It was my first foray into using a LC recipe. I ate way too many calories for an everyday thing, so I won't be making that again for awhile :o. It's nice to know there are wonderful LC foods for occassional treats!
This thread is fun! Want to talk about feeding grandchildren?
JONAH'S GRANNY, LOVE your sig.:clap:

Market Like an Entrepreneur! Sell. More. Now.
Younger, smaller or faster growing companies approach marketing differently than larger, older, and market-leading companies. There is a unique urgency in their marketing efforts. This often manic energy is all about selling more, and selling it right now! In the larger, but fast-growth companies it can often create a noticeable anxiety among the marketing and sales staff, who feel tremendous pressure to perform at their peak — continuously. In the smaller, more entrepreneurial establishments, it can feel like the cult of over-caffeinated enthusiasm – contagious, and collaborative, but requiring constant injections to maintain its high intensity.

Reviews for Xarelto to treat Deep Vein Thrombosis
Review by Tsunamijim (taken for 2 to 5 years):
|User Rating:
DVT in ankle, then again in other ankle then one in knee. Tried Warfarin with many headaches, stopped on my own due to the side effect. That's how the DVT came back. Went to Coumadin and the difference was Coumadin gave me a consistent test result. Still the headaches almost daily. From minimal to taking 800 mg of ibuprofen, just to get rid of the pain. Already allergic to peanuts, then restricted by medicine with no greens or cranberry. Really tough to find a good meal. Begged my doctor for a prescription before it was approved for DVT and that could be part of my positive reaction. Now on Xarelto for 2 years, headaches once in awhile - maybe due to medicine but not consistent enough to believe. Eat anything and everything.

I am a 39 year old woman with a history of DVT who switched from warfarin to Xarelto . Shortly after starting the medicine I began to experience migraines for the first time. After two weeks of being on it, I began my menstrual period as scheduled. The period was severe bleeding 6 days straight, at that point I went to the ER, I ended up with several blood transfusions that were not helping, my hemoglobin was dropping to dangerous levels. The only thing to be done was an emergency uterine ablation. I believe that blood levels DO actually need to be monitored. My blood was so thin I was not clotting.

Doc put me on this after finding a small blood clot in calf after TKR. First month was not bad but after that, my upper stomach started to hurt off & on all day, every day; migraine headaches every night; insomnia every night and horrible itching at site of incision; bleeding hemorrhoids also. Had a Doppler taken after 2 months and it did not find any clots. Dr took me off of Xarelto cold turkey. Very frightening because I was told you should be weaned off of it but doc seemed to be ok with immediately stopping. It has been 4 days since I stopped and all the above symptoms went away, thank goodness.

Last summer I was placed on Xarelto after a dermatologist botched my laser leg vein surgery and caused a DVT. I am an otherwise healthy 50 year old woman. I did not want to go on Coumadin as I am familiar with the side effects and monitoring required. I was sick on Xarelto the entire time, and the minute that I stopped it, most of the side effects went away. It took about two weeks for all side effects to subside. Side effects included migraine headaches (first time in my life), sharp pins and needles pain in hands and fingers, swollen joints especially finger joints, muscle cramps-especially legs and toes etc.

I was on Coumadin from 2008-2013. I am now 28 years old. Imagine how I react when I go to a Dr, get told about Xarelto, that I do NOT need to see my doctor weekly-biweekly, and I CAN EAT GREENS! It was a miracle for me. Yes, the bleeding risk is still there. But a once daily pill for my chronic recurrent deep vein thrombosis verses modifying multiple times my Coumadin based on fluctuating INR levels is a God send. My PCP was about to put me on the similar Xa-inhibitor medication but this came out. Off to enjoy sauteed spinach!

Treated with Coumadin for 3 years. Stopped Coumadin 2 days ago. Started Xarelto last night 20 mg once a day. Maybe it is the excitement of being off Coumadin, but today is the first day I feel normal. No headache, No light headedness, No Fuzzy head, was not tired in the middle of the day. Coumadin really made me feel different. I thought it was just getting old. Also my eyes feel clear now. First thing I did last night was drink two glasses of cranberry juice. It was great. For lunch spinach in my sandwich. Wonderful. Looking forward to not seeing my doctor to draw blood every month. Might even get back into some low impact sports in the afternoon before dinner.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA- Rock mega-band Foo Fighters announced today that the name of their debut Christian Gospel album will be titled "The Light In His Eyes" and will be released around Christmas 2015.
"We're totally excited to embark upon this new endeavor," said Foo Fighters lead man Dave Grohl. "We think our fans are going to love our new album. We've been writing songs and recording like mad men and I think our combined efforts will really be appreciated."
Several post production issues have pushed the release date back by some six to eight months, prompting the band to tell their fans to be patient.
"We've had a huge outpouring of support and anxiousness connected to this new project and unfortunately the problems we've encountered have made it nearly impossible to stay on track in regards to an early release," said Grohl during a recently published Rolling Stone interview. "Regardless, if you're a true Foo fan then we believe your patience will be richly rewarded."
Today's announcement also included information on the number of songs the Christian Gospel album will contain.
"We've had to cut a few songs- some at the last minute- but we, as a group, felt we've picked the best thirteen songs to encapsulate our joint feelings of our faith in Him," said Grohl.
Legendary music producer Butch Vig oversaw the creation of the album from start to finish, according to the former Nirvana drummer.
"Butch is a consumate professional and we love him like a brother," said Grohl. "He's really like a band member and we'd like to thank him for all his hard work on this new album."

Houston Texans Pro Bowler Visits USS Texas
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Story Number: NNS140202-02Release Date: 2/2/2014 9:04:00 AM
By Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Steven Khor
PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (NNS) -- Sailors of the Los Angeles-class fast attack submarine USS Texas (SSN 775) were showing smiles of excitement when they were visited by NFL Pro Bowler of the Houston Texans, No. 99, J.J. Watt, on board Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Jan. 30.
"It's super exciting for the crew to engage with an NFL football player like J.J. Watt," said Cmdr. Andrew Hertel, Texas' commanding officer. "Ninety-five percent of our Sailors are big fans of the NFL, and Watt is one of the superstars. It is very exciting to meet him and an honor for him to come down and thank the Sailors for their service."
Watt said he was glad to have the great opportunity to come and meet the guys and learn about the ship.
"It is crazy to see how tight the quarters are and how effective they use their space," said Watt. "How every single nook and cranny of the ship is used for something. How small the beds and ceilings are, it is very cool to see. Any chance that I get to come out and thank our military for what they do is a great opportunity. I play a game. I'm very fortunate to play a game. But it would not be possible without the men and women who serve and protect our freedom. It's great for me to come see them and show them that we support them."
Watt got a kick out of the "Come and take it," and "Don't mess with Texas," mottos used frequently aboard the sub as well as the Texans' boots in their mess hall, the Texans' flags, and Texans' memorabilia. He said the Texans spirit on the boat put a big smile on his face and he was glad the Sailors supported Texans Football just as much as he supported them.
Off the field, Watt continues to be an inspiration to others. His charity, the Justin J. Watt Foundation, provides after-school athletic opportunities to middle school kids, and will give back more than $500,000 to others. Watt said his charity continues to provide 40 tickets to military members and their families during every home game.
"I realize how fortunate I am, and it is because of the men and women of the military that helps me give back," said Watt.
For Machinist Mate 1st Class Ryan Caroffino, a visit from J.J. Watt reaffirmed his "biggest fan" claim for Texans Football.
"I am the biggest Houston Texans fan," said Caroffino. "When I heard that J.J. Watt was going to be around, I was stoked. To be able to hang out and eat lunch with him was really cool. He showed a lot of support by asking about our daily lives, like a day in the life of what we do, and took a lot of interest in our intramural football team and training. He is a very down to earth guy."
Commissioned Sept. 9, 2006, Texas was the second Virginia-class fast attack submarine constructed and the first submarine to be named after the Lone Star State. The state-of-the-art submarine is capable of supporting a multitude of missions, including anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface ship warfare, strike, naval special warfare involving special operations forces, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.

Tough 1
1200 D Polar Blanket
For Sale on eBay
Manufacturer: Tough 1
Model: 1200 D Polar Blanket
Category: Horsewear
Purchase: Chicks Saddlery & HorseLoverz.Com
Likes: I like the fit, I have 2 large horses, One being a 17h paint/Draft and the other being a 16h Reg. Paint. Both are active boys and the blankets have held up nicely. The Draft/Pain is in his 2nd year of use while the other paint is in his 1st. I love also the colors they come in I live in Hunting country and I feel better with then dressed in Brite Orange and Brite Lime Green. So many horses are getting shot for Deer this was a perfect helper for this situation. Between the great fit and the color selection I have minimal issues with these blankets
Dislikes: I would love if something was light reflective on them. this is my only thought but It isn't offered. It would be a great addition.
Quality: I think the construction on the 4 blankets I have bought is great. For the price I can not complain about anything to complain about...great Blanket.
Summary: I have heard they are discontinuing the bright Colors after the 2010 winter season, I hope this is not tru as they give me a better feeling putting my horses in these colors rather than a dark blend in the back ground color. I have sent a E Mail to the company but have not heard back. If you like these blankets please join me in asking that they place not halt production of the hunter safety colors.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
Samsung SPH-M610
Though you may think Hollywood celebrities are the group that's most obsessed with being thin, cell phone designers are not far behind. Two years after the Motorola Razr made its debut, the race to make the world's thinnest phone shows few signs of abating, with almost every company out to steal the title. The Samsung SPH-M610 for Sprint PCS is the latest handset to call itself a record-holder, but we won't be surprised if a newer, slimmer, shinier model comes along any day now. Despite our growing desire for a return to big, fat phones we readily admit that the SPH-M610 is an attractive handset with a solid selection of features and satisfying performance. It's $329 if you pay full price, but with a two-year contract it's a more wallet-friendly $179.
Samsung has a knack for copying a popular design trend and making it better. In the past year, for example, the Samsung BlackJack managed to out-wow the Motorola Q, and the Samsung MM-A900 emerged as a more attractive alternative to the celebrated Razr. With its SPH-M610, Samsung again beats the Razr at its own game. Besides being smaller (3.98 by 2.05 by 0.47 inches) overall than the Razr (3.8 by 2.0 by 0.5 inches) the SPH-M610's curved lines give it a bit more appeal. The black coloring is cool, and though the SPH-M610 is a tad lighter than the Razr, it has a more solid and comfortable feel in the hand.
On the other hand, we didn't love everything about the SPH-M610's exterior. The exterior tends to attract finger smudges and the tiny external display (0.8 inches, 96x48 pixels) is much too small for the phone's size. It shows the time, battery life, signal strength and caller ID (where available) but because the screen is monochrome, it doesn't support photo caller ID. We expect more from a phone that has a 2-megapixel camera. The display's brightness level can't be altered, and though the text disappears completely when the backlighting is off, a flick of the volume rocker on the left spine activates it again.
Just above the display is a rotating camera lens that swivels 180 degrees to the rear of the phone. There's no flash, which is too bad, but when the phone is open you can swivel the lens to take self-portraits. The only other feature on the exterior of the phone is a covered headset jack/charger port (you can use only one at a time) on the right spine. Samsung managed to slip a microSD card slot into the SPH-M610 but we didn't like its placement at all. Not only is it behind the battery cover but you also need to remove the battery to pry out the card.
The SPH-M610's internal TFT (thin film transistor) display is stunning to say the least. We love its large size (2.2 inches, 240x320) and 262,000-color resolution. Colors, graphics, text, and images were very easy on the eyes, and the simple but efficient menus (available in a few styles) were a cinch to use. You can change the backlighting time and the dialing font style, size, and color, but you can't change the brightness. Like most Samsung displays, the SPH-M610's is difficult to see in direct light.
Slim phones like the SPH-M610 usually suffer a few pitfalls when it comes to their controls. In order to keep the phones as thin as possible, designers resort to perfectly flat keypads. Though we understand why it's done, it makes it difficult to dial by feel. While this is true for the SPH-M610, we like that its keys are covered in a tactile material that makes them less slippery than keys on other trim handsets. They're fairly spacious as well, and are brightly backlit.
For navigation purposes, the SPH-M610 has a large four-way toggle with a central OK button that opens the menu. For quick access to your favorite features, the toggle directions double as shortcuts to four user-defined functions, the right soft key opens the contacts menu, and the left soft key opens a customizable My Favorites menu. Rounding out the navigational array are dedicated camera and speakerphone buttons, a back control, and the traditional Talk and End/power buttons.

Getting cash for gold might seem like a daunting process, but it does not need to be. While it is certainly true that the business of exchanging gold for cash has had a bad reputation with ripoff companies advertising on national television and corners of many towns being plagued with "sign spinners" hawking Cash4Gold, you can still receive a fair amount of money for your gold if you are willing to do your due diligence.
First, it helps to know what you have. If you have gold jewelry, look for "karat" markings, which will tell you the purity of the gold. The higher the karat, the more pure the gold. Most gold in the US ranges from 10 karat (10k) which is 41.7% pure gold to the occasional 24 karat (24k) which is 100% pure gold. 24 karat jewelry is unusual and not normally produced because of the softness of pure gold, which would subject the piece to scratches and other damage. Other common purities are 14 karat (14k), which is 58.3% pure and probably the most common and 18 karat (18k) which is 75% pure.
Of course, there are gold bars which are generally 99.9% pure and a variety of gold coins that vary in purity.
Once you have an idea of the purity, it is then a good idea to know the weight. For this, you will need a small scale. Sometimes a postage scale or a kitchen scale will work. If you do not have access to a scale, then you will need to rely on the evaluation made by the company purchasing your gold.
Next, you will need to decide what selling process works best for you. If you bring your gold directly to a "We Buy Gold" place, a jeweler, coin dealer, or a pawn shop, the distinct advantage will be that you can be paid for your gold immediately. The disadvantage is that you are at risk of getting a price that is well below fair market value. If you decide to sell online, the disadvantage is that you will need to pack up and mail your items, then wait a few days to get an offer and get paid. The advantage, however, is that you stand to gain quite a bit more money for your gold.
Ultimately, the choice is yours and you need to decide what method best fits your unique situation.
More about selling gold for cash online…
There are plenty of online buyers vying to purchase your unwanted gold. How do you choose the right buyer?
First, check them out with the Better Business Bureau. Do they have at least an A rating? ( an A+ rating is preferred). Have they had any complaints and how were the complaints resolved? A few complaints that have been resolved to the customers satisfaction in a timely manner is acceptable, but ideally, the buyer of you gold should have zero complaints on their BBB report.
Next, do they show the prices they are currently paying on their website? While this is unusual, it is a MUST. It is never a good idea to send your valuables to a company that will not give you an indication of what they will pay beforehand. Some shady dealers simply provide "examples" of previous payouts… with a picture of a gold item and the price they claim they paid for the item. This is hogwash! Since you have no idea of the purity of the item, the weight of the item, or the price of gold at the time the item was sold, this "example" tells you nothing!
Other dealers post the prices they pay, but starting at a minimum of 1 ounce or even 10 ounces! The overwhelming majority of people sell less than an ounce at a time. ALWAYS make sure that the prices you see have no fine print attached.. no weight minimum and no dollar amount minimum. Many coin and bullion buyers publish the prices they pay per coin or bar, but hide the fact that the prices are based on a minimum $10,000 transaction in their terms and conditions. Your price will vary!
Lastly, be sure that the buyer presents you with a offer BEFORE sending you a check and that if you are not pleased with the offer you can get your items back. Most buyers automatically mail out a check for the amount they see fit and if you do not return the check to them in a very short timeframe, your gold is melted and gone and you have no recourse.
At this point, you probably will not be surprised when we mention that the Silver and Gold Exchange:
1) Is a Better Business Bureau A+ rated Buyer with Zero complaints…ever.
2) Post the prices we pay on a live price chart on our website. These are the prices we currently pay. There are no minimums, no commissions, and no fees of any kind.
3) Once your gold is evaluated, we email your offer. If you are not happy with the offer for any reason, simply let us know and we can make arrangements to have the testing facility return the items to you. If you are happy (as we know you will be), you can elect payment via check or Paypal.
Lastly, the Silver and Gold Exchange has a Best Price Guarantee so you will be confident you will receive the most cash for gold possible when selling your gold to us.

"Sirens of Albicant, conquerors of the wilds. Very secluded groups of equines, born and grown to unite the wild lifeforms under the Equine Banner. Those who resist or threaten the empire shall risk extermination, all must unite. This is the quest of a Siren, this is their life.
Although not all equines would approve of their approach, the lands the Sirens roam in is remote enough to not be an issue. In the far hostile territories they travel they find mythical creatures, but also more than just creatures. Almost becoming myths them self as they harness any method to aid them in their mission. For they take on any that oppose them.
Words spreading like any other myth. Talk about their brighter appearances. Glowing eyes in the shadows, used to subdue other lifeforms. Hidden under their hoods masking their changed appearances. Not many come into contact with them, further shrouding them in mystery. Yet many also do not realise the effect they've had on daily lives, which for many has been made possibly by these groups throughout the centuries. Ridding the lands of most creatures, or taken for the greater good."

(K)(K)(K)(K), (Tap): Gain control of target creature with toughness less than Sirens of Albicant's power.
(G)(G)(G), (Tap): Place a +1/+1 counter on Sirens of Albicant.

Breed – Pug
Personality:Even-tempered, charming, mischievous and loving
Coat & Grooming:The short, shiny coat needs little maintenance; the wrinkles on the face and forehead must be kept clean and dry
Energy Level:Somewhat Active; Pugs are not exactly natural athletes, but they do have strong legs and endless curiosity—exercise both regularly
Originally: China
Nicknames: None
Size: Small
The Pug's motto is the Latin phrase "multum in parvo" ("a lot in a little")—a perfect description of this small but muscular breed. They come in three colors: silver or apricot-fawn with a black face mask, or all black. The large round head, the big, sparkling eyes, and the wrinkled brow give Pugs a range of human-like expressions—surprise, happiness, sorrow, curiosity—that have delighted owners for centuries.
The emperors of ancient China had a thing for flat-faced toy dogs—the Pekingese, Shih Tzu, and Pug were all developed as pampered pets of the emperor and his family. In the 1500s, Dutch traders brought Pugs from China to the West. Pugs have been closely associated with the Dutch ever since, but the breed's charm made it a favorite of royal families all over Europe. Many of the famous kings and queens of history were Puggers.
French Bulldog
Boston Terrier
Pug people say their breed is the perfect housedog. Pugs are happy living in the city or country, with kids or grandparents, and as the family's only pet or among other animals. They enjoy their food, and care must be taken to keep them at their best weight (14 to 18 pounds). They thrive in moderate climates—not too hot, not too cold—but, with proper care, Pugs can be their adorable selves anywhere. They live to love and to be loved in return.

In The Netherlands, where Pugs are especially beloved, they are known as Mophonds.
From an Italian hound to a Spanish fisherman's assistant, these dogs are bringing a host of skills to AKC's registry.

Does anyone have a link to a list of AM/FM radio stations that carry Reds games? Thanks.
Does anyone have a link to a list of AM/FM radio stations that carry Reds games? Thanks.
Thanks. Its interesting that there is a station in Mississippi. Never would have guessed.
Here's wishing that Clear Channel would get smart and put the weekday afternoon games (at least the game play by play, if not the whole package) on one of their FM outlets in the Cincy/ Dayton area.
I work in an office where AM does not penetrate, internet audio streaming is blocked, and tracking the action on the internet via browser is in the "gray area" at best. However most FM comes in loud and clear and we are permitted to listen to it so long as it does not disturb other workers. Am I the only one whose place of work has such restrictions and reception problems?

Where I work now, we are not blocking streaming audio yet, but we're about to start blocking all streaming audio and video. We're tired of users complaining about this and that being slow, so we'll see how they like the speed when we block their internet radio access.
I forgot about that. That is interesting.
I just emailed my local station suggesting they become a Reds affiliate. Mr Tony would just launch an email jihad, but I don't have any minions.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Cincinnati Bengals - None
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
Is the list actually current? A few years ago, several stations in west central Indiana were listed, but none of them carried the games. I always assumed the list was just old.
I've been to dinner at Jimmy Buffet's house, and I've eaten it at a homeless shelter. And there's great joy and harrowing terror to be found in both places.

Amber has a brick oven, put to excellent use for the preparation of pizzas. Some examples: fresh tomato and basil, and roasted pepper and Italian sausage, both made with the traditional mozzarella topping; prosciutto and portobello mushroom, smeared with Boursin cheese; and grilled eggplant and olive tapenade, made with no dairy at all. We ordered the barbecued duck and scallion pie, another cheeseless choice. The meaty chunks of duck were a pleasure, accented with snipped scallions, sesame seeds, and a visible touch of roasted garlic, with a gingery plum sauce underlying all the ingredients. Plum tomatoes with Parmesan sprinkled over the top added an odd but successful Italian tinge to the Asian palette.
As with the pizzas, pasta dishes fuse influences. For a plate of tortelloni, mellow ground veal was stuffed inside wide, lazily joined sheets of pasta -- more like ravioli -- abetted by sauteed oyster and shiitake mushrooms and chunks of artichoke hearts in a barely creamy brown sauce that looked and tasted like a demiglace. Fried chips of parsnips garnished the top, sugaring the tortelloni as they melted into the sauce. An outstanding pasta.
I have little doubt that sea bass encrusted with pepitas (pumpkin seeds) would have been a winner. Red snapper, the substitution mentioned above, was probably a little less flavorful than the sea bass, but there was no real cause for complaint about this dish, which was delicately handled, laid gently over a bed of cavatelli drenched in a buttery sauce. The range of mild ingredients all complemented one another here, with red bell peppers contributing real appeal.
The evening's only true letdown was a foray into genuine bistro fare -- grilled skirt steak. Though thick, juicy, and generous, the beef was tough and chewy; ordered medium rare, the steak had crossed the line from char-grilled to just plain charred on the outside, and a coalish flavor reminiscent of a dirty grill overwhelmed a horseradish bordelaise that tasted more of red wine than horseradish. Fortunately a huge tangle of skin-on, shoestring pommes frites was an ideal side dish. Crystalline with salt and grease-free, these fries were exceptional. The skirt steak has since been replaced on the menu by a New York strip; perhaps that cut will fare better.
Despite overordering, we pushed on to dessert. That persistence was rewarded with a double slab of chocolate mousse cake, a flourless molded mousse (nothing cakey about it, except maybe its shape) dusted with cocoa, napped by a tart raspberry sauce, and garnished with fresh raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries.
Even as I extend my sympathy to my colleague, who felt compelled to return twice to her bistro in order to confirm her initial opinion (as I too often have had to do myself), I rejoice in my own good fortune. I don't have to go back to Amber. I will, though -- because I want to.
Amber is a beautifully conceived surprise, especially given that seen from outside it looks like a pool hall.

I do know how to use a sextant and ded/dead reckoning and plotting yet, unless it's pea-soup fog, I don't normally pre-plot on paper. I'm a firm believer that one should know old school first, as a back up, but lets face it most new boaters won't ever learn this stuff and unfortunately a chart plotter is the next safest alternative to real seamanship.
I've been in situations, racing in fog, where there were three very seasoned, old school, ded reckoning type sailors, not including myself, all disagreeing upon our position each one insisting they were right. One loose halyard in a race, in thick fog, and all bets are off and positions get lost. So who was right? Since I was not the tactician I was unsure as were the other two. Fortunatley I had thrown my Garmin GPS Map 176 in my bag and pulled up our posiion in less that 30 seconds while the other guys were still arguing about how close we were to Half Way Rock! None of them had been right and the closest one, the tactician, had us off by over a half mile! He had looked at the wrong tide table when calculating drift! This is also a guy who has done Marion to Bermuda as a tactician so he was no spring chicken and a very competent sailor, it happens! In this situation it was human error times three!!! GPS error zero!
In 12 years of using a GPS, aboard a boat, I have had no situation, even in the days of SA, where I could not get a fix. Sure I've had times where my accuracy was more than 100 feet off but I can't draw a line on a chart, with a sharp pencil, 100 feet wide so that really is not a major concern.
To answer your question a chart plotter overlays your actual lat/long positionon a chart. If the charts were bad when they were made, like many Bahamas charts, then the GPS will still show you where you are but the chart is wrong so you could still hit bottom. Relying solely on paper charts is no safer in many areas than relying on any other form of navigation because many charts are just plain inaccurate and no matter howmuc you spend on a plotter it can't correct for poor data!
I know of no less than 30 uncharted rocks along the Maine coast, many them reported years ago yet no charts show them. if these charts are scanned into a GPS and used those rocks still won't show up!

The earlier version of this menu utilises the same checkbox hack and "off-canvass" pattern in desktop view as it does in mobile - apart from being always-visible on a large screen, it looks and works the same, regardless of what device is accessing it (modern browsers and IE9+).
Thanks to the increasing popularity of touch devices, where tappable/clickable triggers now seem more favourable than hover actions, this has the benefit of consistency. Minus the initial trigger

I was emailed the other day by somebody asking if my earlier CSS-Only Multi-Level, Off-Canvass Mobile Menu could be visible on desktop too.
At its most basic level, the following CSS inside of a desktop media query will do that;
#menu { left:0 }
.container { padding-left:13.75em }
Except this stumps IE8 and under because of no media query support and no checkbox hack support. So I set to work on creating a version that is visible (and works) on desktop and older browsers.
#menu { left:0 }
.container { padding-left:13.75em }

The latest CSS-only offering is my attempt at an image gallery where image enlargements open in a modal window. It was inspired by a tutorial on modal popups and uses the :target selector in CSS to match the hash at the end of an URL with the id of a corresponding element.
The logic for this (taken from the modal popups tutorial) is that a hashed URL can be wrapped around a small thumb image, which matches the id of an image enlargement in a modal overlay div. When the hashed small

Fiddling some more with CSS transitions and the checkbox hack to emulate click events via CSS, I tried my hand at making a CSS-only content slider.
Initially I attempted to make it with checkboxes, but due to the behaviour of multiple checkboxes being checkable at the same time (which totally mungs up the idea for a slider where you only want one slide activated), I turned to radio buttons instead.
The key difference between radios and checkboxes is that only one radio

(basic support added for IE7)
I decided to work more on the previous "CSS-only, Multi-Level, Off-Canvass/Slide-Out Menu (no JavaScript)" code so that it can be used on desktop as well as mobile.
So here is the "Responsive CSS3 Multi-Level, Drop-Down Menu (no JavaScript)".
It's similar to the previous menu in that it uses the same side-docked, off-canvass menu pattern for mobile, but this new version now also sports a horizontal, dropdown menu bar in "desktop" view,
