"Does its job quite well ..."
Version: Bean 3.0.6
Zippy and neat; does its job very well.
Saves as ... a good variety of doc types.Cons
Has a strange printing quirk for me ... the bottom line of a page only gets half or less recognised.
May be to do with bottom margin.
I use a Samsung CLX-3175 mf printer.Summary
Zippy, clean and able to clean up other docs.
I use it for quick work on smaller docs .... does it have a limit on the number of pages one can post into it?
Columns and pagination would be nice but I guess that is for the big (expensive) boys. I really like Bean and am grateful to the kind souls who have supplied it. -
"Never had a problem w/this one."
Version: Bean 3.0.6
It has opened documents that others wouldn't or couldn't. It's never overly loaded w/application buttons
The application buttons could be enhanced somewhat so the user can better manage his/her work. It's a great work environment, and stands up to the best w/few to no crashes for me using Tiger on my iBook.

inner product space
inner product space
In mathematics, a vector space or function space in which an operation for combining two vectors or functions (whose result is called an inner product) is defined and has certain properties. Such spaces, an essential tool of functional analysis and vector theory, allow analysis of classes of functions rather than individual functions. In mathematical analysis, an inner product space of particular importance is a Hilbert space, a generalization of ordinary space to an infinite number of dimensions. A point in a Hilbert space can be represented as an infinite sequence of coordinates or as a vector with infinitely many components. The inner product of two such vectors is the sum of the products of corresponding coordinates. When such an inner product is zero, the vectors are said to be orthogonal (see orthogonality). Hilbert spaces are an essential tool of mathematical physics. See also David Hilbert.

50th Anniversay offers at S@H
Posted by Huw,If you're in the USA, click through to LEGO S@H from here, then enter code FS50US to get free shipping on orders over $99.
If you're in the UK, click through to LEGO S@H from here, then enter UMAGSET at the checkout to get a free magnet set worth £5.99 when you spend over £25.
Happy shopping!
15 comments on this article
Yeah I got an email from LEGOShop.com about this.
Curses! I just ordered from S@H yesterday! My order was well under $99, but if I knew shipping would have be free, I would have added the Castle chess set, and who knows what else...
Maybe it's good that I didn't know about this. :-)
Still...the email everyone got didn't happen to mention when this deal ended, did it? ;-)
It ends on the 3rd. MOG, you might want to call Lego and see if you can take advantage of the offer. They have been really good at it in the past. It does mean that you might have to buy another set or two, but you might as well so that you can save on the shipping.
Wonder if anyone is taking mega advantage of this offer and is going to turn around and sell the sets for a profit? I know in Arizona where I live non of the TRUs have the big IJ set. Thou they have people asking for it. Makes a person go HHMMMMMMMM.
Off to building. LATER
I didn't get an email about this. :(
wolfkiller: Thanks for the info, but I think I'll leave my order as is. I just bought a PS3 and an HDTV, so I think I've used up my "fun money" for the immediate future. Well, unless my TRU puts that HP set on sale... ;-)
(So many acronyms!)
But thanks again anyways. :-)
If you are in Germany and order over 35.00 Euro you get a free magnet set (851009) worth 7.99 Euro! Code - DMAGSET
free magnet set....whoop de do..i'm off to the my local toystore...
I'd have rather have had free shipping here in the UK, especially with buying town plan and the motorized AT-AT...
My wife ordered me the Town Plan and Mail Van from LEGO the day before they announced the sale. We called LEGO and they apologized but said that they couldn't refund us the money we paid for shipping. This is the 1st time LEGO's customer service didn't offer any help when I called to voice a complaint or dissatisfaction. I was shocked. I guess if they give the refund to 1 person they have to give it to everyone.
Why would you expect them to refund the shipping money when you didn't buy it DURING the sale? Like if I had bought a LEGO set on a saturday from let's say target, and then the next day in the sunday paper they announce for this week only all LEGO sets 20% off, I can't tell them to give me 20% off if I already bought it yesterday when they weren't having the sale. That just doesn't make any sense.
Hey sorry, now that I read over my last comment, it was a little mean. I didn't mean it to be, I was just sayin' it.
When I ordered the set I was told that the next free shipping event wouldn't take place until the holiday season. I felt lied to and supposedly the shop at home representatives didn't know about the sale the day before. If I bought something at Target the day before it went on sale I would bring my receipt back during the sale and have them either refund me the difference or return the item and repurchase it for the sale price. Who needs the money more, me or Target or LEGO?
We felt burned by LEGO because we even asked about free shipping and for the 1st time in dealing with LEGO, I was shocked that LEGO didn't do anything on my behalf.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I just thought I'd elaborate a little more on my experience. No offense taken Fighter.
oh....now it makes sense. Ok nevermind. :D sorry

Survival has shot priorities, not a set rotation. Priorities go SS (up at all times) ES>KS (when up)>AS>SS. At any given time use the most powerful shot you have ready. Never ever use arcane shot, since it shares a CD with Explosive. I have completely removed arcane from my bars. Thats the basics of it, I've only been survival since the patch like most of us, and i am learning more aout the spec every time I raid. I'm sure someone is gonna tell me what a huntard I am, and that my sauce is weak, but thats ok.

Revised Standard Version (RSV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Now they told David, "Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Kei'lah, and are robbing the threshing floors." | 1 When David was told, "Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah and are looting the threshing floors," |
2 Therefore David inquired of the LORD, "Shall I go and attack these Philistines?" And the LORD said to David, "Go and attack the Philistines and save Kei'lah." | 2 he inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go and attack these Philistines?" The LORD answered him, "Go, attack the Philistines and save Keilah." |
3 But David's men said to him, "Behold, we are afraid here in Judah; how much more then if we go to Kei'lah against the armies of the Philistines?" | 3 But David's men said to him, "Here in Judah we are afraid. How much more, then, if we go to Keilah against the Philistine forces!" |
4 Then David inquired of the LORD again. And the LORD answered him, "Arise, go down to Kei'lah; for I will give the Philistines into your hand. | 4 Once again David inquired of the LORD, and the LORD answered him, "Go down to Keilah, for I am going to give the Philistines into your hand. |
5 And David and his men went to Kei'lah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and made a great slaughter among them. So David delivered the inhabitants of Kei'lah. | 5 So David and his men went to Keilah, fought the Philistines and carried off their livestock. He inflicted heavy losses on the Philistines and saved the people of Keilah. |
6 When Abi'athar the son of Ahim'elech fled to David to Kei'lah, he came down with an ephod in his hand. | 6 (Now Abiathar son of Ahimelech had brought the ephod down with him when he fled to David at Keilah.) |

World, meet the multi-talented and invariably stylin' Barneys New York personal shoppers.
We could go on at length about their virtues (Editing! Trend analysis! Wardrobe crisis management!), but instead we'll pass the mic and let the talented team speak for itself. We've asked them to share recommendations for three key pieces to add maximum impact to your wardrobe this fall, as well as tell us about the designers they're most excited to introduce you to.
Without further ado…
1. I adore Connor Stationery! I especially love the Diana Vreeland special edition card set. In our age of email communications, it speaks volumes to send a warm and special handwritten note as a correspondence. There is a greater sense of importance to your words when they are written by your own hand. I think that everyone should own something that is truly one of a kind and custom made and their bespoke stationery elegantly fills that need.
2. I love having a piece of jewelry that makes such a strong fashion statement on it's own that it can be paired with a very clean, chic outfit. These Irene Neuwirth boulder opal and diamond earrings would look amazing with Chloe's peach sleeveless shift dress.
3. Manolo! Eternally fabulous. I can always count on him to help complete a look. These sexy suede BB pumps in emerald green work so well with many of the new fall colors and styles. I would pair these with a pair of Rag & Bone skinny jeans or skinny cords for a fun night out.
The Row: All of their knitwear is so wearable and their luxurious leather jackets and coats are modern yet classic. And Celine: I love the green suede dress for both day and evening. And I'm always drawn to Azzedine Alaia's feminine and flattering creations. The ink blue shearling motorcycle jacket is a particular favorite of mine this season—fun and chic.
And for men this season, I like to put a man in a suit that has modern, clean lines but with luxurious traditional fabrics. Isaia and Brioni both have an updated old world quality to them and Andrea Campagna's hand stitched suiting is just incredible. His suits are true luxe.
firstname.lastname@example.com | (212) 833-2101
* * *
1. The leather one-button blazer by Boy. by Band of Outsiders: I love that this is a classic men's blue blazer done in a really modern way in navy leather.
2. Every woman needs a clutch in her life. This one by Valextra can be put in your bag at work to hold your cell phone and lipstick then brought out for dinner or cocktails. Skins are also really important for fall 2012 and this is an unusual color for alligator.
3. These Nak Armstrong earrings can be worn with jeans and a blazer or with a dress for cocktails. They have an organic quality to them which is a perfect balance to the constructed items this fall.
I am really excited about the menswear influence in fall 2012. Celine offers trousers and jackets that are inspired by classic tailoring but done in a totally new presentation. I love a constructed jacket over a feminine dress like the printed silk pieces from Dries Van Noten. His garments are always unique and can be worn year after year. Everyone this season should invest in something velvet. The Row's interpretation of this trend is understated but luxe. Their burgundy velvet tapered pant with a cozy camel cashmere sweater looks great together but each piece can work back into anyone's existing wardrobe.

1. Perhaps you're going to a party and looking to turn a head or two. Nothing gets the job done like a splash of color and elegance and I have the perfect accessory. If luxury, glamour and a python fell in love and had a baby it would be the Givenchy Obsedia minaudière. Wedding on a beach? A night out in Florence? Shopping for more bags at Barneys? This bag has you covered.
2. If it's a statement that you are trying to make why not look in to your partner's eyes, get down on one knee, slide the Repossi Berbère ring on her finger, and say the four words she's always wanted to hear: "I have amazing taste."
3. Maybe you're just trying to amp up the clothing you already own. I would suggest the Balenciaga high top . In almost every variation of these sneakers can be worn: with a suit, jeans, kilt, scuba gear, swim trunks…You get the idea.
One of the hardest things I've encountered working at Barneys is choosing which designers I am most excited about. It's like a favorite song or meal, but I must. For men, I can't help but feel the ripping gift wrap type excitement when I think of Camoshita, Alain and Boglioli. When a suit is a little too much and the t-shirt/jeans combo is not enough, these three are just right.
For the ladies, Belstaff has been injected with fashion steroids and if there was ever a reason to invest in a motorcycle the launch of this fall collection is it!

1. An equestrian touch is on trend this season and this Balenciaga boot is both edgy and classic.
2. It's all about the peacoat this fall and this one by Belstaff was "cut with a compass rather than a ruler." They make impeccable outerwear for both sexes.
3. Chunky but refined, modern and timeless, this bespoke bauble by Hoorsenbuhs is your signature piece for the season.
From pantsuits to pencil skirts, clean sheath dresses to military pea coats, in neutrals and the occasional unexpected pop of color, the Cedric Charlier collection satisfies the different but essential needs of any client. I'm also excited about The Row. It embodies effortless dressing: clean, precise couture pieces than can be worn as if they were casual daywear. This season's palette features black, navy, ivory and a range of burnished browns in luxurious fabrics and superior workmanship. The silhouette is elegant, chic and uncomplicated. Never flashy, always special.
And finally, J. Mendel. The secret to the graceful exterior of a J. Mendel piece is the corseted interior architecture that flatters the figure. Any woman will feel glamorous, sexy and confident when she needs it most, whether it be in that flirty little black dress or a red carpet dazzler.
email@example.com | (212) 833-2535
* * *
1. I very much like this tie-waist-dress from L'Wren Scott for fall because it is true femininity and elegance. Great for any evening occasion or cocktail event.
2. This Lynn Ban black diamond propeller cuff works whether you prefer a classic look or a modern edge.
3. As always, I love Thom Browne! Calling all men who want attention! This flannel two-piece will do just that. Any hesitation? Come to me…and let me speak with you about Mr. Browne!
Fall collections across the board for both women and men are full of rich, dense colors and bright, printed fabrics. The fabrics (velvet, lace, silk—just to name a few) are alive with texture, creating the most slick garment shapes with both an edge and elegance. I am always excited about new creations from Azzedine Alaia. We have already received the most beautiful dresses, cardigans, shoes, coats and shearlings from his collection. You must have Alaia in for your fall wardrobe.
firstname.lastname@example.com | (212) 833-2537
* * *
1. Your new fall bags should not be under your eyes! This pre-season treatment by Révive will leave your eye area looking brighter and less lined.
2. The Derek Lam sleeveless tweed dress is the perfect transitional dress. Wear it now and years from now!
3. Long, short. Casual or chic. You'll love the look and the story of Maiyet.
I'm thrilled to introduce my clients to our new J. Mendel collection for fall. The fit is impeccable and our selection looks great for day, cocktail and evening.
email@example.com | (212) 833-2150
* * *
1. This Lanvin is absolutely the most fun a dress can have!
2. This Belstaff moto is a VERY special piece, to be worn with everything from jeans to cocktail dresses. ADORE.
3. Back to a classic with Manolo Bipunta pumps.
When I think of Fall, I think of layering and luxury. I am always inspired by luxe textures and rich deep colors as they meld together like a beautiful autumnal sunset. For my working girl, I am loving the Bottega prints, Jil Sander plaids and origami sheath dresses. Also, a special shout out for Belstaff—amazing! For day or weekend looks, I am counting on Boy. by Band of Outsiders for go-to blazers and a trench. And there are always great pieces from Isabel Marant. For evening and cocktail, it's all about Lanvin (Did anyone say ruffles?!), sophisticated Nina Ricci gowns and for ultra sexy, it's the legend, Mr. Alaia.
And for the guys in my life, the sartorial looks of Gianluca Isaia are pure heaven. For the sporty, Michael Bastian's plaid shirts are a must, as well as Thom Browne cashmere sweater and oxford shirts. Please also include a Belstaff jacket to pull eveything together! For evening, a deep navy tuxedo from Fendi or an amazing Made to Measure peak lapel black suit from Brioni.
firstname.lastname@example.com | (212) 833-2086
* * *
1. Executives that want to embody style with a minimalist appearance must have the luxurious versatile Delvaux newspaper briefcase. This accessory is a classic that will become your no-fuss staple piece season after season.
2. Want to make a statement in your home or office this season? Then the Super Impossible chair is the piece for you. A most welcoming chair with a handle on sophisticated modern design that inspires style.
3. This Boy. by Band of Outsiders cape is the ultimate statement piece for fall. Wear it during the day into evening seamlessly as it serves as versatile piece that can be dressed up or dressed down with little effort.
For men, I'm most excited about introducing my clients to Paul Smith and Burberry Prorsum. Both brands offer must haves for the season that you can't go wrong with.
For women, I'm most excited about introducing my clients to Bottega Veneta, J. Mendel and ICB.
email@example.com | (212) 833-2720
* * *
1. For men this season, I absolutely adore the short suiting from Thom Browne. This two-piece is great for the guy who wants that classic look with a bit of a twist
2. I love this pair of leather leggings from The Row. They're classic, yet the tulip hem is a bit different than what we've seen in past seasons. Not to mention, the midnight color is a great alternative to black.
3. A fabulous pair of earrings enhances every outfit, these teardrop earrings from Monique Péan can be worn from day to night.
I love to incorporate pieces from different designers into my clients' wardrobes. But this season, one of my favorite stand-outs is The Row. I am also loving Balenciaga, especially the pops of color shown in their suede sleeveless dresses. The shape is very flattering on the body and the bright colors are playful. As for shoes this season, Tabitha Simmons is one of my favorites. The Kasia booties are gorgeous and they'll spice up any outfit—a bit edgy, yet totally wearable.
firstname.lastname@example.com | (212) 833-2811
* * *
1. The Munnu diamond small rondelle necklace: I love over-the-top jewelry that's quiet enough to wear every day. Jewelry is meant to be worn—not sit in a safe.
2. This Givenchy three-button coat is easily worn day or night.
3. The two-toned white and black pointed toe means this Balenciaga boot will easily go with dresses or pants. It is right on trend for fall 2012.
My clients all have individual style, but I am excited to introduce them to this season's Celine collection. I'm crazy about Stella McCartney in general and I always incorporate Dries Van Noten and Marni into every woman's wardrobe from season to season-the prints are timeless. Givenchy, Balenciaga and Balmain continue to be my favorites to watch. Jewelry makes every outfit. We customize Jennifer Meyer nameplate necklaces, love Renee Lewis one of a kind shakes, and Irene Neuwirth rings and bracelets make great bold statements.

She now primarily paints plein air and larger studio works. She enjoys exploring with color and texture through brush and palette knife on canvas. "I love painting outside. You feel and see everything. Its thrilling to capture a fleeting moment in nature that is unique and never to be seen again."
Andrea has studied art at Pepperdine University, University of California, Los Angeles, the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, and Brentwood Art Center. She has also worked with plein air artists, Randall Sexton, Saim Caglayan and Calvin Liang, as well as a number of other artists/teachers.

"One of my favorite things to do before I go home each weekend is to stop by Blue Hill Café and pick up just-gathered Stone Barn Center eggs and a loaf of the homemade pretzel bread to enjoy for breakfast the next day. My boyfriend, a chef, loves it so much he asks I do it everyday.
I am delighted that many of our guests do the same – packaging up some treats from the Blue Hill Café or Blue Hill Market for their party favors. It allows everyone to savor the celebration just a little longer." ~ Carrie Weed, Blue Hill Events Manager

Kalin, who has returned to consulting, declines to discuss the lawsuit or Randy Prefer, citing the ongoing litigation. But a former colleague says the legal mess has taken its toll on Kalin.
"Phil had some dark hair before this experience," she says. "He doesn't have any now."
Although Curtiss-Lusher also declines to discuss specifics of the lawsuit, he does say that several attempts to reach an out-of-court settlement have gone nowhere. He also makes it clear that he and his colleagues see themselves as Prefer's victims.
"I'd very much like to see some of this reach the public so that others won't be taken advantage of the way we were," says Curtiss-Lusher.
Pharmnetrx's implosion startled many in Denver's medical community. "I was surprised when I heard this fell apart," says Denver health-care consultant Ralph Pollock. "They had a lot of big-name connections, and somebody sure spent a lot of money."
The idea of online prescriptions is still valid, Pollock adds, especially since it would allow doctors and pharmacists to easily reference data on drug interactions. Lethal combinations of prescription medications are now the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, he says, and physicians desperately need up-to-the-minute information in order to safeguard their patients.
But no matter how good their ideas are, entrepreneurs often run into trouble when they try to market new products. "Sometimes it's just the personalities, but usually somebody has a vision and becomes a slave to it," Pollack says. "They may be good idea people but not be good at implementing it. Whoever had the idea may not want to give it up. Also, the longer they have the idea, the more paranoid they get that somebody will steal it from them."
In fact, Prefer says, some of the best-known businessmen in the state have plotted against him. "It's a David-versus-Goliath situation," he says, alluding to a sinister conspiracy.
Prefer cites Anderson's injunction when refusing to discuss details of the suit. "If I talked about the case, I'd go to jail," he says. "I can't afford to put my family in that kind of position." He does say that he's determined to take his case to a jury and that he doesn't want to settle out of court. "That would be shooting myself in the foot," Prefer says.
In the meantime, neither the FTC's sanction nor the Pharmnetrx suit seem to have discouraged Prefer from pursuing other business projects. He's reportedly back on the circuit of local venture-capital meetings.
"He's still out there wheeling and dealing," says a former colleague. "I don't think he even feels like he's had his hands slapped.

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. (AP) - Juveniles who leave their helmets behind when they go skateboarding in Laguna Beach could have their boards confiscated under an ordinance being considered by the City Council.
The Orange County Register (http://bit.ly/QiYotP) reports the council is set to consider adopting the law at its Tuesday night meeting.
State law requires that anyone under 18 wear a helmet when riding a skateboard.
The proposed ordinance would allow police to seize the boards of violators in Laguna Beach.
First-time offenders would lose their boards for a week and would have to have their parents retrieve them.
Repeat offenders could lose their boards for as long as a month.
Laguna Beach has previously adopted laws banning skateboarding on steep hills. It has also adopted speed limits and other safety requirements for riders.

Tigers Game in the Rain
The weather is finally starting to warm up and I could not be more ready to bask in the Florida Michigan sunshine. Even if that means a few days of raining and thunderstorms, I am alllll for it.
Wait… maybe I should have saved that sentence for after the Detroit Tigers Game Scott and I went to over the weekend.
It was our first time to Comerica Park, and after attending our first Red Wings Game a few days earlier, the two of us are now officially introduced to the world of professional sports in the D!
Even though it is the off-season, Scott and I still remain close with a lot of our Pistons Family. Outside of the NBA, a large group of us (and majority of the city!) also follows other major sports teams in the area.
Sunday was Scott and I's first time seeing the Tigers play live, and it was a complete blast to go with a ridiculously large group of friends!
The only thing I was not looking forward to was the rainy weather. Detroit baseball is played outside (while ironically, Tampa Bay baseball is covered) rain or shine.
Instead of a normal pre-game gathering in the parking lot, we met just a few blocks down from the stadium at Bookies Bar & Grille.
The group of twenty-one of us was quite impressive, and I was a bit worried we would not be able to all sit together. Luckily, we found the upstairs bar about ten minutes before any other Tigers fans and took the tables over. Whoops!
I love that the girls I dance with also share a love for professional sports. Every one of them wanted to go to watch the game and have a good time, just like it was a Pistons game.
(Who said baseball is just for guys, anyways?)
With more than full bellies, we decided to walk over to the park during the second inning. Nine innings in the rain can be less than enjoyable, so I am considerably proud of us for holding out for seven of them!
Upon entry, we were those people eager to pile up in front of the giant tiger statue. Can you spot my husband?
He would be the floating upside down head in the bottom row. Sheesh.
Eventually, we made inside and up to our seats, which were somehow the only few rows in the third level covered by awnings. Strategic!
With at least a drizzle the entire time, I was surprised to see the stands as full as they were. As the game progressed, fans began to leave and some even came up to join us all the way on the third level just to be covered.
Looks like there are benefits to those nosebleed sections after all, huh?
Although I appreciate all professional sports, I have to admit that baseball is probably my least favorite. I still had a good time, but I know I would have enjoyed it more if it were in the daytime and in the sunshine. I give us girls props for hanging through it all with smiles on our faces!
We ended with a win, and even through the rain the Detroit fans were loud and proud to support their home team.
As the summer approaches, I am looking forward to attending more games and getting the full experience and love of sports here. One of our friends gets Tigers tickets about once a month, and has offered to take us to again to an afternoon game. Hopefully then I can write more about the game, and less about the weather.
Have a great Tuesday! I am spending the rest of mine trying to get ahead for the weeks ahead. I am flying down to Florida on Friday and have a lot to finish before my vacation begins. See ya tomorrow!
Questions of the Day
• Have you ever been to an outside MLB or NFL game when it is raining? Does it bother you, or is that something you can ignore?
• What is your favorite MLB team?

Protein Time! Designer Whey Review
While training and dancing professionally, I learned early on that protein "to go" is a beautiful thing. Often running from one job to workout to another, I needed something to fuel my body, and I needed it fast.
Back in my server days, protein bars, shakes and powders were the only way I could get through a day's shift when the busyness of the restaurant only allowed a few minutes to re-fuel. In fact, a small group of us shared powders, mixes, yogurts, and bars, and took turns covering each others sections when one of us needed "Protein Time!"
I have about three to five bars circulating in my gym/dance bag at all times, and it is not out of the ordinary for me to eat more than one a day. After any kind of strength training workout, I always grab something loaded with protein directly after to help my muscles recover.
(I guess you could say protein and I have had quite the relationship.)
When I got selected to review a few products by Designer Whey, I had no idea they were going to spoil me with a huge box of goodies. I have seen the brand pop up all over the Internet, but had yet to try any of their products. To say I was excited to get started and dig in just would not do my feelings justice. I was pumped!
*Disclaimer: I was provided with these products by Designer Whey, free of charge, through my ambassadorship with FitFluential. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own!
So how did their products stack up? Lets start with the most talked about.
Their specially formulated protein powders come in a variety of different flavors, and my eyes got huge when I read the flavors I was about to experiment with… White Chocolate and French Vanilla. (Yum!)
Off hand, I can list three simple ways to use protein powder:
• smoothies
• shakes
• baking
Their website lists easy recipes with great ideas on how to use their powder flavors. After a quick browse, I felt inspired to use the White Chocolate to create my own mini muffins.
They turned out pretty darn good, and I feel honored to have stumbled upon my recipe featured on their page today! (Thanks, guys.)
I created a few different smoothies using both flavors throughout the week. Being in a hurry for most, I only stopped to document one of them. This Sweet + Simple Green Smoothie uses the same protein flavor, but I can assure that both the White Chocolate and French Vanilla are fantastic.
I had a smidge of favoritism for the White Chocolate, though, and below is what I think to be a personal best green smoothie.
So simple, yet so sweet. Overall, I am diggin' the looks of all of their flavors, and would love to get my hands on some more.
Powder = Win!
Protein bars and I go wayyyy back. Like I mentioned above, you can always find me carrying one (or five) around at any given time!
Perfect for a healthy snack on-the-go, I like how these whey protein bars are 170 calories or less. With only 10g of protein, however, they come up a little short when compared to some of my other preferred protein bars.
When it comes to flavor, all three of these were one hundred percent satisfying for my ever growing sweet tooth. If I had to choose a favorite, it would be the Chocolate Caramel Crunch.
I was fond of the protein shake flavors, which says a lot coming from me. I am a bit of a protein shake snob, and do not like the majority of them out there.
I never buy packaged shakes, and on the rare occasion that I drink them, it has to be extremely cold, over, or even blended with ice.
Most shakes are strong in their flavor and can taste a bit chalky. I found these shakes to have a lighter taste, maybe even like they were watered down a little. It may sound weird, but I like that.
I also appreciated the 18g of protein, which is perfect to drink up before or after a workout!
The last product I tried is different than anything I have seen before. Although I am not a supporter of artificial sweeteners, at times I have grabbed anything that can flavor my water when I am sick of drinking it.
Admittedly, I rarely drink regular water anymore, unless my body tells me to. When I realized these were fruity drink mixes filled with protein, I became immediately intrigued. Tropical, summery flavors are just not what I think of when looking to add protein to my drinks.
I went from skeptical to pleasantly surprised after my first bottle of the Lemonade flavor. It actually tasted like lemonade. I was used to this taste from a drink mix, but never expected to find one with an added bonus of protein to it. Score!
Mixed berry was probably my favorite, with tropical orange being my least. All Protein 2 Go flavors, however, were very refreshing and came with me to drink in and out of the gym.
Overall Thoughts
As a whole, I am very impressed with this brand. Whey is a lean protein, which is why I have always preferred to use it as my form of protein powder. This is the first time I have knowingly tried whey protein outside of powder, and I enjoyed the lighter taste.
I love that the company promotes a healthy and active lifestyle by sharing recipes, workouts, and motivation on their Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest accounts.
Upon opening my box, I was hoping to fall for every product, so I could portray a genuine excitement for sharing their products.
I did!
At the moment, I have a few products left, and will continue to use them even though I am done writing about it. That is a true test of whether I care for the products sent to me, and I am a fan across-the-board.
If you are interested in trying out a few staple Designer Whey products, they offer a Starter Kit for just around $20! Sounds like a good investment to me.

To understand all the info above, check out our Site Facts Glossary.
Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
Homoactive.tv is a gay pay per view site offering up over a thousand gay DVDs available for streaming in a pay-as-you-go set-up. You can browse their entire archive before paying a dime, making it easy to see exactly what you'll be spending your 20 cents a minute on.
Good-sized video collection. Homoactive TV is a big site, with 1,537 full-length DVDs. Having such a large collection lets them offer a great variety, with Europeans, Asians, twinks, bareback, military uniforms, gangbangs, skaterboys, and much more. No matter what your gay kink is, they've got you covered.
Some HD scenes. You'll notice that some of the DVDs have an HD icon. These movies are offered in sharp high definition. These are 1280 x 720 mp4s that play at around 6000k. You have the option of downloading them, though that isn't exactly cheap. Still, you may want to hold on to these hot HD movies.
Other Good Stuff:
Expensive PPV setup. As with any pay per view site, the value is in the eye of the customer. If you're only looking for a few specific scenes, then maybe paying 20 cents a minute on average isn't bad. However, if you're looking to come in and watch dozens of movies it'll cost you at least $20 per DVD, a month's membership on another site! And that's just to stream them; if you actually want to download the movie, expect to pay $40 per DVD. This is a very pricey site with lots to consider before joining.
Minor Negatives:
A solid pay per view site with some exclusive and HD gay DVDs.
Homoactive.tv is a solid site within the PPV niche. The collection of gay DVDs is good-sized and quality is right where it should be. There are some handy user tools, as well. As for the price, you'll certainly end up paying more than you would if it was a regular membership site, but its rates are in line with what you'll pay on other pay per view sites. All in all, while there are a few minor issues, Homoactive.tv is worth a join for fans of gay DVD streams.

Azealia Banks Reveals 'Broke With Expensive Taste' Tracklist
Harlem-bred hip-hopper Azealia Banks has set the wheels in motion (again) for her debut LP Broke With Expensive Taste. Though the "212" singer was riding high on the waves of success from her Fantasea mixtape, which dropped last July, her aggressive Twitter habits have made her more a subject of notoriety than musical praise.
Alas, the 13-track offering is here and scribbled down on some teddy bear stationary, revealing features alongside Theophilus London on "JFK," Kevin Hussein on "In Town" and Toko Yasuda on "Gimme A Chance." While no date is set in stone, it seems that the LP shall touch down next year. Peep the tracklist below.

You are leaving today for the NHL all star game in Ottawa, ON. This trip is more than necessary, it is a religious pilgrimage. You must leave the peppers in the wife's care. You will be gone for four days and you are more worried that your wife will forget to water the seedlings than you are about her taking care of the children. |

haha... you know, every year we have a meeting with our subscribers in Houston, of which I am REQUIRED to attend. It used to be in April, but since I now have to attend it has been moved to May because I refuse, absolutely refuse to leave my seedlings (although they are little plants by then) in the care of my husband. I would come home to thousands of dead pepper plants. I know your fear. |
Luckily my big shows are late August/early September, so I can usually get away with those ceramic spikes you screw coke bottles into for my mature plants. I'd hate to see what would happen if I had to leave seedlings in the care of my friends or family. |

I hear you, I'm leaving on a one week cruise in a couple of weeks. Capsizing doesn't phase me but worrying about whether the GF's daughter will water my four 72 cell flats of long seasons is driving me nuts. Hey simsedward, welcome to Ottawa! |
You are relying on your GF's daughter for something that important? I hope your GF's daughter values your relationship her mother. Good luck with the peppers and the safe trip, Bruce |
- Posted by ottawapepper 5a (My Page) on Fri, Jan 27, 12 at 19:37
Oh crap Bruce, thanks for pointing that out. Plan B, ya, plan B, I'm on it. |
Plan B... it's only 4 flats... take them with you! ;-) You're braver than me. I'd let someone take care of the dogs and parrot, but NOT my peppers! Well, maybe my partner, she grows sweet peppers. |
Them "Sweet" Pepper growers can't be trusted. I mean really, "Sweet" and "Pepper" just sounds wrong. Bruce |

You guys are crackin' me up! To me, there's nothing more frightening than leaving tiny baby sprouts in the hands of a non-gardening enthusiast, other than maybe having to be gone close to, or during harvest time. That's like having to forfeit a race a couple of yards from the finish line! Bonnie |

When you get depressed because you ONLY have 3000 or so varieties of pepper seeds in your stash AND can't grow one of each kind every season.... |
bwhahaha, I won't be telling my partner you said that Bruce. She isn't all bad, she does grow Trinidad Scorpion along with her sweets. |
Sweet and spicy, eh? Hey, if you two break up, can I have her number? =P |

Smoke, if you're down to 3000 odd varieties, get help ASAP! That's gotta be major trauma you're experiencing! What happened to the other 3000 varieties??? |
LOL ottawa!!! Good call!! I can't imagine 3000 varieties! Just keeping fresh/viable seed of each of those would be a lot of work! haha! |
You know you have a pepper problem when you own seeds from a variety that Smokemaster doesn't already have. Bruce |
I definitely agree with ottawapepper! Smokemaster, you need help. ;-) Here I was impressed that I have about 75 varieties. and Edymnion, I don't think I'll tell her husband what you wrote. ;-) Her and I are only partners in peppers (and we aren't gay ;-)) Hey, if they break up, I'll give her your forum name. |
- Posted by smokemaster_2007 (My Page) on Mon, Jan 30, 12 at 9:24
I do need help. Lots of help. I need help finding more growing space... I need lots of help so I can grow more Peppers. :) |
Smokemaster, I dont think that attitude constitutes the first step towards recovery. Bruce |
- Posted by ottawapepper 5a (My Page) on Mon, Jan 30, 12 at 23:29
Bruce, you're slaying me! Accept it, smokemaster is incorrigible when chili's are involved ;-)) |
Yep, I guess I should just accept it. I admit that Smokemaster has a problem. Bruce |

Oh Ya,the 12 step thing- 1 - Find more growing space 2 - Find more non bell pepper varieties to grow 3 - Find cheaper Peat bales for potting mix 4 - Find cheaper bark for potting mix 5 - Find cheaper pomice for potting mix 6 - Find cheaper Perlite for potting mix 7 - Find cheaper Fish fertilizer 8 - Find cheaper Seaweed Extract fertilizer 9 - Make bigger shelves for sprouts 10 - Get off my behind and finish making the rest of my LED panels 11 - Finish smoke drying all the peppers in my freezer 12 - Grind up all the smoke dried peppers for rubs and powder blends Twelve steps to having a successful , productive and happy life. Works for me... |
I rest my case. But I am encouraged that you were able to limit yourself to a twelve pack. Bruce |
- Posted by ottawapepper 5a (My Page) on Wed, Feb 1, 12 at 1:03
Eh Bruce, taunting SmokeMaster, no, no, no. Not good. Been there, done that, ain't doing it again! Bill (still in thumb sucking fetal position) ;)) |
I guess it is just a bit of jealousy poking through. I want 150 pepper plants this year too. Bruce |
- Posted by smokemaster_2007 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 1, 12 at 22:34
No 12 pack for me. I brew my own in 5-7 1/2 gal fermenters. Usually about 5-6 different flavors-Wheat,Ale,Bock and or DoppleBock,Chile Beer,Pilsner and a Barley Wine every so often. I get bored growing a measly 150 plants. :) That's about all I'm doing so far this season unless I find more growing space....We'll see.It's early yet. I have my eye on a place I can easily put 300-400 #15 pots on but I'm not sure I'll get it yet. |
Smokemaster, I thought maybe you could gut that 40 foot RV you have there and turn it into a mobile green house. I would say you could fit about 100 5 gallon pots in there. Then just drive them around to optimize there sun exposure. Smoke, I think it would be fun to tour your place, along with the peppers and the brewing operation, I am guessing you have an underground bunker and small arms room somewhere on your property. With all them peppers and all those spirits, you need protection. |

Not my Property. I am an "on site" security guard. I live(in the house here)at a motor home sales and service lot. I keep the dopers from stealing the stuff out of the motor homes. Me and Heidi my dog... Tv's,microwaves etc.used to get stolen every night. Motor Homes have all kinds of stuff in them these days. Is ,58 Cal. considered small arms? :) |
I took a swing at making a pilsner once - turned out ok (not great) but, man did it take forever!!! I didn't think it was ever going to quit that long slow ferment!! It still hadn't stopped when I decided to bottle. |
Smoke, yess all those count and reloading was a given. But I have a question, You see two guys, one is carting off a microwave and one has a pepper plant in a 5 gallon container, which one do you draw down on first? Oh, the pepper plant is ready for harvest if that makes a difference. tsheets: it sounds like you are describing the pepper ripening process. Seems to take forever and once they do start to ripen, they just keep coming. Bruce |
- Posted by smokemaster_2007 (My Page) on Thu, Feb 2, 12 at 10:35
So you ended up with either a bottle bomb or a Steam Beer. Ya cold fermentation is like watching grass grow or paint dry... |
- Posted by smokemaster_2007 (My Page) on Thu, Feb 2, 12 at 17:36
Heidi takes out the guy with the microwave and I go after the guy with my pepper plant-with a vengeance. I don't care if the guy drops the microwave and runs but the other guy better set my plant down gently on the ground before he runs off or he'll be getting some hot lead flying his way.

Well, I returned and all is well. My three year old son (and gardening buddy) insisted on doing things "exactly how daddy said to." Ottawapepper: I LOVED THE TOWN OF OTTAWA - the people were awesome, the all star game was great and I had a BLAST there. Canadian beer is like moonshine. |

Great to hear you enjoyed the festivities and the beer. Also great to hear your gardening buddy took good care of your peppers. Wow, this thread started with worrying about our plants while away and progressed to beer and caliber of guns used to pop people stealing pepper plants. I love this forum, the members are so multidimensional here, hilarious ;-)) |

copying this from a different post in this forum, that would be better served here :P You know you have a chili problem when you think invasion of the spider mites would be the scariest movie of all time, and the thought of it can keep you up nights. |

I love this thread...I also make my own beer. I think smokemaster and I were brothers in another life. Typical summer days find me smoking meat/peppers, boiling wort in the backyard, drinking homebrew and sampling superhots in my garden. Life is good. Looking out at the barren landscape of winter here in Michigan.....well...at least I can go check my seedlings. |
You know you have a pepper problem when: You grow early under strong lights so you get an early harvest. You are becoming immune to the heat of habs and bhuts and looking for more heat. Frank's Extra Hot tastes about as hot as ketchup. Food without hot sauce tastes bland. Your freezer is so full of peppers, you struggle to find room for meat. Pepper Joe knows you by name. |

I was talking to a buddy of mine last night, and he's like "ENOUGH about peppers! If you don't stop spending so much time with them, you might turn into a pepper". Thus you might have a pepper problem if your friends are concerned prolonged contact will cause you to experience genetic changes. |
Sounds like my wife..... she's had enough of peppers... |

Frank's Extra Hot tastes about as hot as ketchup. Food without hot sauce tastes bland. Guilty. I started my seeds two months earlier than last year. Bhuts last year, Butch T this year. Hopefully someone is working on a hotter strain for next year. LOL My co-workers have given up asking me if something is "hot" when we go out for lunch... |

when: ...dear husband no longer has access to the master bathroom (its the main grow area) ...the peppers get more attention than the housework ...I'd rather shop for potting mix, lights, ferts, etc than clothes ...DH often says 'can we talk about something other than peppers!' ...you check the forum every night just to see what else you can learn to help make the harvest better ...you get more excited about getting seeds in the mail than a birthday card I cant even eat peppers but growing them is addictive :) |

Well, I'm glad to see I'm not the only female around here with a pepper problem, Nancy! I could have written ALL of those statements ... well, except the one about the master bathroom, LOL! I have taken over the guest room though. If anyone wants to visit us, they have to sleep with the peppers. Hey, it's better than sleeping with the fishes : ) |
When the well equipped basement workshop is now a pepper garden. Shop lights are now garden lights. No workbench space is left unused. |
and the oil, lubricants, glues, and other products have been replaced by fertilizers, pesticides and starter pots. Bruce |
Hmm, master bathroom - considering it's still unfinished 5 yrs after building the house, I *could* use it as a "greenhouse". But it only has 1 east-facing window so I prefer to take over the bay window in the family room. Other than that, I could have written that post too! (Thanks smokemaster for the seeds I got this week - and ottawapepper and Chef Paul - forgot your online ID - for the peppers last year). (Gee, I really gotta finish that bathroom this year, but it's where I store the ShopVac and random orbital sander and shellac and gel stain and other stuff - corner of the master bedroom is my finishing area, I got a little sidetracked last year with the garden, gotta finish more doors and baseboard.) |
- Posted by smokemaster_2007 (My Page) on Thu, Feb 9, 12 at 18:50
You're welcome. Forget about doing the baseboards. Doors can be covered with Pepper pics,grow charts,garden maps etc. |
Yes, the Master Bath. Perfect. Already has plumbing. Plenty of electrical hookups. Linoleum or other water resistant flooring. You might still want to put the shower in. THey come in handy when you have to do insectidal soap showers after an aphid outbreak. Oh and one big bonus, the doors already have locks on them so you can keep the rif-raf out. The exhaust fan could be a big bonus too. The medicine cabinet will store the pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers and other necessities real well. The vanity drawers are just right for all the accessories such as extra bulbs, fixtures, starter pots, clippers, etc.... It will read: |
Oops, guess I have to at least get the subfloor covered with something waterproof. Got the shower installed but can't use it w/o getting the plywood wet. Rest is just rough plumbed (and I keep having to pour water down the drains every once in a while to keep the smell down). But really, DS is starting HS in the fall and is getting to that age when he *really* needs to shower every day, it would be nice to have more than 1 bath for 4 people (and 1 very large potted pepper that has needed a few insecticidal soap sprays and rinses). I spec'd an extra deep garage - 28 ft. Two 9ft doors in front, a 6 ft on the north side. And it's not big enough for all the pots and bags of potting soil and lime and deer netting. Shoulda gone 35 ft. And the mudroom b/t the garage and kitchen is too small - nice deep utility sink, but the W/D take up too much room. That's it! Gotta add a grow room - er, sunroom - on the back instead of a deck (we've got a slider to nowhere in the family room). At least there we've got eastern and southern exposure, house will block the strong western sun. |
- Posted by simsedward MI (My Page) on Fri, Feb 10, 12 at 5:22
Bruce- I would buy that place! I only have 1.45 acres and only about 1.2 is tillable!!! |
I have 97 acres but it's anybody's guess how much is tillable. I think maybe 1/4 acre since we spread (unscreened) topsoil near the pond and picked out most of the stones (at least the big ones) last year. Got a lot more to go - but we have 3 big piles of *screened* topsoil to spread. This IS New England - our best "crop" is rocks! |
There are definitely other women around here with a pepper problem. When you cook something and tell husband you are putting peppers in and he asks you if you are going to hurt him, you might have a problem. I would say growing-wise, I'm lucky cos I have a 26' x 8' greenhouse, but with our temps possibly hitting the single digits in the next 2 nights, and me having 1700+ seedlings in the greenhouse, I don't feel so lucky right now. Planning on getting out and buying a 3rd heater to hook up. |
Well, I don't have that same kind of pepper problem with DH - he likes things hotter than I do ( I think he's afraid of what I might do with the bih jolokia and 7 pot that Bill sent me seeds for though). I hear you on the weather - I haven't started seeds yet (though I brought 3 overwintered peppers up from basement yesterday and put in bay window, been moving them with the sun plus we keep it 67 in the house). But we're expecting snow tonight and all day tomorrow (lows won't be that bad til Sunday AM - yesterday I heard 4 but now looks like 13). And I've got 6 huge garbage bags of sawdust for compost in the back of my pickup, I gotta find room in the garage or cover them - they're heavy enough already, don't need them getting soaked! |
Well, he's tougher than he acts. I've made stuff that I thought was pretty hot and he didn't think so... I guess I've just got him well acclimated. At least we aren't expecting any snow, or if so, not much. Good luck with the sawdust. |
- Posted by Jsschrstrcks 9 (My Page) on Fri, Feb 10, 12 at 16:18
cold snap here as well - 37 is the low for the weekend.... then back up to mid 70s :D |
I'll trade ya! It was 14 friday night, and 12 last night. Husband went out and bought 3 -4 ft long baseboard heaters, hooked them up and with my 3 blower heaters, it was upper 40s in the greenhouse this morning. we haven't even made it into the 30's yet, but the greenhouse is toasty with the sun on it. I'm surprised the peppers tolerate these wild swings, 100 during the day if the sun is out, 45-50 at night. |
15 when I woke up this AM, never made it over 25 today. No snow to speak of the other day (after I put the sawdust in the garage!). Helped my parents' neighbor empty her sap buckets yesterday - sap's not running well now that it's cooled down again, only got 11 gal out of 30-odd trees, and my hands were frozen after a half dozen! Didn't start the peppers yet, but the ones I brought up from the basement seem to be perking up a bit in the warmer, lighter house. Gotta see if there's room for the others - then where I can start the seeds if my bay window is full of overwintered plants! kuvaszlvr - where are you located? Hope nights get a little warmer for you! |
- Posted by Jsschrstrcks 9 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 12, 12 at 22:41
Its 30 outside right now =( Looking like its going to be a hard freeze tonight. Supposed to be below 32 until after 9am... *dislike* I have 30 pepper plants in the ground and had to scramble to find things to cover them with. |
howdy ajsmama, I'm outside of Tulsa, ok. It's warming up now, albeit snowing, but it's not much. Luckily the nights the rest of the week are supposed to be above freezing, that still means around 50 in the greenhouse for lows. I know what you mean about finding room. There's been times I had to pull everything from the greenhouse and try to find places to put them in the house. Hope you got everything covered Jsschrstrcks! isn't winter fun???!!! :-) |

Everything looks good this morning... I made a bivouac out of bamboo and the thin plastic painters use to protect the floor... |
Jsschrstrcks: Looks like you have the 2012 grow season well under way. I applaud your dedication in sleeping outside with your peppers to protect them. Bruce |
He kept them warm with his body heat! |

When you tell your car mechanic that you think you need a new thermostat for your engine because its running hot,about 800,000 scoviles...maybe hotter. What is worse is he understands how hot that is and says not to worry until you get to over 1,000,000 scovilles. |
You know you have two problems when you wife complains that she wants you to turn up the thermostat because she is cold and you respond by telling her to eat a bowl of your chili instead. Bruce |
When ya dice up about 10 bhuts from the freezer to make some dinner. And its so hot ya can barely eat it. And then the next day you take it out of the fridge to eat the leftovers and sprinkle a large dose of dried bhut powder on it before ya put it in the microwave without of even thinking about it |
When you are scrolling through the TV listings and back up because you misread "Doomsday Preppers" for about the hundredth time. |

Edymnion, I did that AGAIN last night, and my teenage son said, "Mom, you do that every time!" Glad to know I'm not alone, LOL!!! |
I'm glad I'm not the only one that has done that! :-) Although, I really think "doomsday peppers" would be a MUCH better topic for a show... at least I'd watch that! |

You know you have a pepper problem when: you have to put the gallon of milk in the door of the refrigerator-- because the big main shelf is all full of 1/2 gallon and 1/5 rum bottles full of home made hot pepper sauce! |
- Posted by ottawapepper 5a (My Page) on Sat, Feb 25, 12 at 17:14
Getting back to the original impetus for this post; going out of town and leaving your peppers in someone elses care. Uggg, kuvaszlvr, I should have gone with your plan B and taken the four trays with me. Turned out the GF's daughter (who really would have taken good care of them) had other stuff come up and couldn't take care of them. I ended up leaving my babies in the care of a neighbor. Got home to 57 dead plants and the rest barely hanging on. NEVER AGAIN!!! RIP: 1 - Bhut Jolokia |
OOOUUUUCCCCHHHH!!!!! That will put you back several weeks. |
- Posted by simsedward 6 A (My Page) on Sat, Feb 25, 12 at 20:25
Sorry man that sucks royally. Let me know if you need any seeds. |
Oh, man! That sucks! Sorry to hear that, I'd be sick! |
- Posted by ottawapepper 5a (My Page) on Sun, Feb 26, 12 at 10:51
Thanks for the seed offer simsedward, much appreciated. I have enough seed, it's the time I've lost that's going to hurt me. I've already started replacements but it's going to be tight. If this years growing season is as long as last year then I should do OK, fingers and toes crossed. |
You ALL are great! I haven't laughed so much in weeks! I only have 6 varieties so I guess I don't qualify as a pepper problem. Does anyone have a recommendation for a pepper to make paprika? Hot, sweet, or mid range. I am drying this years crop of Alma, and just realized it is open pollinated, so will be saving seed if anyone wants to swap for '13? |

Editors' Top PicksSee All
The LG VX5200 for Verizon Wireless is the follow-up to last year's
. Although far from a full-featured smart phone, the VX5200 is a good choice if you spend a large chunk of time on the go with the need to communicate. And even if you want a few more options--after all, the modern-day phone isn't just for calling people anymore--LG has managed to successfully address the multimedia concerns of the midrange cell phone user, adding functionality and features not available on the VX6100. On the downside, however, the VX5200's design has yet to integrate superior quality displays. Overall, you get what you pay for, and the LG VX5200 is a bargain at $119 (or cheaper with service). The elliptical design of the LG VX5200 is sleek and attractive. We also like the two-tone midnight blue and silver front flap. The handset measures 3.5 by 1.98 by 0.9 inches and weighs a slightly hefty 4.16 ounces, but it fits nicely in the palm of your hand and is easy to fish out of a pocket or purse. Of course, the large protruding antenna is cause for concern if you are rough on your phone. Still, the construction of the VX5200 is solid, and we found the phone easy to open and shut.
The 65,000-color external display is a definite improvement upon the VX6100's grayscale screen, and despite the postage-stamp size, it manages to pack in a lot of information, including the signal strength, the time, battery life, and an entire bar of indicator icons. Yet, not all was good. Unfortunately, the VX5200 doesn't allow the user to adjust the backlighting time on the external display, nor does the external display show picture caller ID. The camera lens and the flash remain in a convenient place, sitting just above the display. The location made it easy to get our fingers out of the way when taking shots, and we easily took self-portraits using the display as a viewfinder. We are disappointed, though, that the VX5200 has no sliding lens cover, as does the VX6100.
The button on the right side of the LG VX5200 activates the camera and clicks pictures without having to open the front flap. The left side of the handset has a volume rocker, which we're happy to note remained disabled when the phone wasn't in use, preventing us from accidentally turning down the ringer volume on the phone if pressed against the side of our purse or pocket. A key just below the volume control opens the voice-command menu, while a headset jack--sans a rubber cover--sits just above the rocker. The single feature on the rear face of the VX5200 is the speakerphone.
A design flaw on the interior of the LG VX5200 concerns the internal display. Yes, we were able to read the well-designed menus in bright and dark conditions, but the overall quality wasn't too sharp, which made playing games and viewing photos somewhat tedious. The 65,000-color screen, at 1.7 inches diagonally, also could have been larger, given the current height and width of the handset. You get a choice of two font sizes and four display themes, none of which are remarkable. You can change the contrast and the backlighting as well.
The navigation controls at the top of the LG VX5200's keypad include a five-way toggle that gives shortcuts to the calendar, the Web browser, the picture menu, and Verizon's Get It Now service. Alternatively, the calendar key is programmable to one of the following features: alarm clock, notepad, or EZ tip calculator. Just be warned that since the Web browser and Get It Now shortcuts can't be changed, accidentally hitting the wrong button may wind up costing you money. You also get two soft keys, a dedicated camera control, the Talk and End keys, and a Clear button that also activates the speakerphone--nice. The well-spaced keypad buttons are slightly raised above the surface of the phone, and the numbers and letters are large and brightly backlit.
The LG VX5200 has a 500-contact address book. Each entry holds five phone numbers and two e-mail addresses. You can also categorize contacts into caller groups or pair them with a ring tone or picture for caller ID. But don't get too excited, as neither function is very well executed. The picture doesn't show up on the external display, and the measly five monophonic and five polyphonic ring tones available on the VX5200 were embarrassing in public places. That said, our friends and coworkers insisted that "Jungle Boogie" was not much of an improvement. Other features include a vibrate mode, text and multimedia messaging, 1-minute voice memos, support for instant messaging, a calendar, a world clock, an address book, a tip calculator, and a full-duplex speakerphone. We also downloaded software so that we could access our Hotmail account. Overall, the handset's 16MB of memory is impressive, holding up to 100 voice-recorded memos, 200 pictures, and 98 unique speed-dial settings.

The plan you developed more than a year ago are finally underway and construction has begun, your home has taken on a very dusty and disorganized look. Every project has its own set of challenges, but because this is your home and your own idea, you are determined to see every aspect of it through to the end. The orders for the needed materials were placed a few weeks ago and the contractor has informed you that things are running smoothly.
A big part of any successful renovation plan is going to be a realistic budget and that will usually consist of labor and materials. You should not be prepared to consider cutting corners in either case, because the right contractor will ensure that things come together perfectly. Let's not forget that materials like kitchen cabinets and plumbing fixtures are probably the reason why you decided to renovate in the first place.
The appearance of your cabinets could be old and worn from constant use and you simply want to give them a face lift, or maybe you never really like the design and always intended to change it when finances allowed. Maybe you prefer taller ceilings, or the lighting was less than adequate for the amount of time you spent in the room cooking. It could just be that you always wanted an island in the center of the kitchen.
The reasons for jumping into a remodeling project can vary from one extreme to another, but one thing is for certain, it will change the way things look around your home. The finished project in most instances usually begs the question, did it improve the value of your home, or will less people like what they see, should you decide to put your home up for sale? Remember that the renovation was born from your idea and your personal taste.
Many renovations start with the kitchen, if only for the fact that someone did not like the kind of countertops that came with the house, or the plumbing fixtures were outdated. In some instances, what you see in the kitchen today could have been to keep in line with a budget for the house itself. When you first purchased the house, it was all about the investment, but will someone else look at your remodeling project in the same way?
Another important factor in your plans should be to make room for your appliances. Believe it or not, some people forget to make room for basic things like the microwave as they change things around. It is important to think ahead when redesigning your rooms, whether it is the kitchen or the bathroom. Technology continues to change, will your design be able to accommodate those changes.
Check out Bella Domicile for more on plumbing fixtures!

My wife and I have settled on two mattresses, the Sealy Posturepedic Grand Marquise Euro Top ($675) and the Simmons Sunflower plush from Macy's ($810). Do you have any thoughts on either of these two mattresses as to quality, durability, etc. In addition, are there any other similar mattresses we should be looking at in this price range for a non pillowtop?
Hi Greg. Simmons has a lower line from the Beautyrest, which is pretty good. If that Simmons' is a Beautyrest, you'd be better off with the Posturepedic.
