Just curious if most South Beachers count calories? I know it's supposed to be a way to eat without counting, but I'm not very good at knowing my hunger cues and will eat way beyond stuffed.
South Beach Diet - Do you count your calories as well?View Full Version : Do you count your calories as well? HeaterAS 03-23-2009, 08:54 PM Just curious if most South Beachers count calories? I know it's supposed to be a way to eat without counting, but I'm not very good at knowing my hunger cues and will eat way beyond stuffed. kelly315 03-23-2009, 08:55 PM I don't think SB works if you don't restrict your calories as well, but I'm not on it. me4life 03-23-2009, 08:56 PM i don't restrict what i eat at all...every now and then i count for a day or so cause i tend to not get enough calories in, but have never had a problem with to many. HeaterAS 03-23-2009, 09:03 PM Do you find that when you do count, your percentage of calories from fat is a bit high? I've noticed that my calories from fat are much higher than I think they should be the past few days... Schmoodle 03-23-2009, 09:15 PM Are you eating more than 2T of added fats or salad dressing and 1 serving of nuts per day? If not then you should not be eating too much fat. If you have been on lowfat plans in the past, that may be why you feel your fat is too high. SB is not a lowfat plan, it includes moderate amounts of healthy fats, and they are important because healthy fats keep you satisfied for longer. If you want to post a day's menu, the chicks will take a look and tell you if the fat is too high. I think most SBers do not count calories, and it is not necessary to do so, but some do, and there's nothing wrong with that. me4life 03-23-2009, 09:20 PM Do you find that when you do count, your percentage of calories from fat is a bit high? I've noticed that my calories from fat are much higher than I think they should be the past few days... when i have its pretty steady around 20-25% but i really don't watch it that much CyndiM 03-23-2009, 10:03 PM I counted calories from month two on. Obviously counting calories is not necessary for success on SBD (just look around) but it was and still is necessary for me. I also watch my fat % and have a target fiber number. It makes it more complicated for me than for many but I am one of those people who can just keep eating and eating and never know if I'm full. Even now I slip into that so counting will remain part of my maintenance strategy. rdw1 03-23-2009, 11:02 PM I definitely count calories... I don't have that "im hungry" click in my head right- I doubt I ever will... I have a problem with eating when I am bored, sad, happy, etc... LOL. I count calories because if I don't I eat too much- and don't lose. Also, I try to keep my fat percentage around 30- and I find if I don't input all my foods in and watch the fat I tend to eat around 40-45% a day- I love cheese btw! Also, I try to eat AT LEAST 30g fiber a day- usually not a probelm if I don't track but I like to see that I am doing it! I LOVE calorie King BTW! I like fitday as well, but they don't have quite the database that CK does... I am a vegetarian and like not having to enter all the neat food products I find- most of them are already in CK! I haven't tried it, but hear the daily plate is good too... murphmitch 03-23-2009, 11:18 PM I enjoy not counting calories. but the few times I have counted calories and fat grams, I was around 1500 calories, over 30 gms of fiber and about 30% fat. My fat and protein is higher than when I was on another plan, but my satisfaction is also higher with fewer carbs and more protein/healthy fats. mizski 03-24-2009, 02:52 AM I ran my menus thru FitDay for quite a while and still do fairly often. I lose weight best at about 1000-1200 cal/day so it was helpful in the beginning to see what I could have. I don't really count calories now (although I'm aware of them). I am mainly checking to make sure I am getting all the macro & micro nutrients I need. Have you looked at the "How to Adapt Your Menu (http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56861)" guidelines? That was extremely helpful to me in learning the portions of each food I should have at each meal/snack. It helped to spread foods from the different food groups throughout the day and that worked much better than the eat until your full guideline. grneyedmustang 03-24-2009, 10:44 AM I am now counting calories; I have been going back and forth since the beginning of the year with the same 6 pounds, so I'm trying to see what I'm doing "wrong"...I've been using www.thedailyplate.com. Kriterian 03-24-2009, 01:59 PM I'm on South Beach but count calories on the recommendation of my trainer at the gym. It helps to know the number you normally eat in case you're on vacation or some place where you can't eat healthy. If you have an idea of your daily calories from your weight loss periods then you can eat the right amount of "something else" if the numbers add up. Example: To maintain my current weight, I'm supposed to eat around 2700 to 2800 per day. Since starting SB, I've been hovering around 2200 to 2300 per day, which is a good amount for weight loss (500 under normal). Now if I'm at the beach and for some reason can't find healthy food, as long as I can eat that same number I should be ok. I don't do it religiously every day though. dreaminstacy67 03-24-2009, 02:09 PM i dont count calories... but i write down in my journal every night what i ate throughout the day.... yesterday i was hovering around 1000 which i know isnt good.... i just guesstamate every now and then to make sure im eating enough or i will stall and or gain... stacy xxx WarMaiden 03-24-2009, 02:25 PM I did SB from May through December without counting anything; I lost 50 pounds that way. Since the beginning of January I have also counted calories, and that has accelerated my weight loss. However, it is totally possible to lose on SB without counting, as long as you are careful with portions of the restricted foods. beachgal 03-25-2009, 12:00 PM I don't think SB works if you don't restrict your calories as well, but I'm not on it. No, that's not the case, Kelly. SBD works for those who have problems with overeating due to physical cravings because it eliminates those cravings. This naturally reduces your caloric intake without any conscious restriction of calories. Sure, any diet works only because it gets you to eat less. But we aren't eating less on SBD just by deciding to do so--the elimination of cravings allows us to eat regular serving sizes more easily. I lost over 120 lbs on SBD without ever counting a calorie. When I plateaued, I used calorie counting to help me get a feel for what might be going wrong or right. I did regain some weight due to emotional eating and going off plan too many times in a couple of months, but when I got back on plan (still without any calorie counting), I starting losing again. I've lost 20+ lbs of the regain and never counted a calorie on that, though I am aware of portion sizes. That's just my experience. :shrug: As for counting calories, it can be a helpful tool, but it's certainly not necessary most of the time on SBD. Some of the SBD members use online sites like www.fitday.com to help them track what they're eating when they have a stall/plateau or to make sure they are getting enough calories. As long as you follow the tenets of SBD, including the restrictions on high-caloric items like nuts, fat, and lowfat dairy, you'll lose weight without counting calories. If you want to count calories, it won't hurt you--unless you start cutting out healthy things in place of unhealthy ones because you're restricting your calorie intake. That's a problem. :shrug: Schmoodle posted a great method she uses to help her keep track of how many servings she needs of some foods and how many servings are the max she can have of others. Keep in mind that the numbers for grains and fruit are her personal combo for Phase 2--your numbers for those two categories may be more or less depending on your body. Here's the post from Schmoodle. (http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2662938&postcount=10) murphmitch 03-25-2009, 11:54 PM When I was on WW I routinely ate about 1200-1400 calories per day with my points, and wasn't losing. (And I was hungry all the time.) My usual foods included WW chocolate muffins, pretzels and limited portions of protein and fat. I was a carb lover. I eat more calories than that on SB, around 1500 the few times I have counted. I eat much more veggies, more protein & more fat. The only thing I eat less of is the high glycemic carbs. I have lost weight quicker, with greater meal satisfaction and I'm not thinking about food all the time on SB. For me it's about the quality of the food on SB that really clicked with my body. I also eat a lot more dairy than I used to and have reduced my calcium supplementation. The healthy fats, dairy and protein (although higher in calories than what I ate on WW) are really key for me. I'll never go back to counting calories or points. vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Sorry cant help with the packageing, but had to say your pillowcases are soooo cute! TFS how you make them on your blog, love reading it! oddie |
awwwww, that brings back memories :) These are some that I made about 20 years ago for my little ones . . . they even hauled 'em out on Christmas Eve when they were teenagers, LOL. As far as packaging, how about folding them up as small as possible, then either wrapping a pretty satin ribbon around them - or putting them in a larger-sized treat bag? They'll love them no matter what you do with them - what a nice treat :) |
pixistix- I love that! So neat that your kids still wanted their pillows!! Oddie- thanks for the kind comment!! |
that's such a cute idea!! I think I'd simply fold them nicely, slip they into a gallon size zip top bag and put the poem inside so it can be read through the bag. Maybe add some cute Xmas stickers on the outside of the bag to dress it up. you could even weave ribbons through the top of the bag and tie a pretty bow and hot glue a small ornament inside the bow. I'm sure you'll come up with a great idea on how to package them. Thank you so much for sharing!! |

Syracuse Crunch
Desjardins, Crunch Blank Penguins, 1-0
Submitted by jghoughtaling on March 20, 2013 - 20:58It was all about the letter D for the Syracuse Crunch Wednesday night.
The defense held the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins to nine shots in the first forty minutes, Philip-Michael Devos scored the lone goal and Cedrick Desjardins pitched a 20-save shutout, leading the Crunch to a 1-0 victory at the Onondaga County War Memorial.
Syracuse has registered a point in its last five games, and paces the American Hockey League with 84 points.
"Every night there's someone different that's the hero," Desjardins said. "Tonight, everyone stepped in."
AHL Game Night: 3-20-13 Penguins at Crunch
Submitted by pete on March 20, 2013 - 19:49Still riding in first place.
Cedrick Desjardins stopped all 20 shots he faced for the shutout victory. With Anders Lindback possibly being hurt tonight in Toronto, we'll see if Cedrick hops a plane back to join the Lightning.
First Period
Second Period
SYR Devos, (5) (Gauthier, Taormina), 2:01
Third Period
Philip-Michael Devos, Desjardins, and J.P. Cote were the game's three stars.
Syracuse expands their Eastern Conference lead to 3 points over the Providence Bruins with Providence holding 1 game in hand. They'll also move 1 point ahead of the Texas Stars for the best record in the league, as well. They draw Hamilton next on Friday with 13 games remaining in the regular season. It's going to be a nail biter for Syracuse as they chase the conference crown.
Box score from TheAHL.com.
Connolly, Crunch Rout Devils, 6-2
Submitted by jghoughtaling on March 16, 2013 - 21:37With five of its top 10 scorers out of the lineup, the Syracuse Crunch still made due.
Brett Connolly registered a pair of goals and assists and 12 Crunch players showed up on the scoresheet -- including four with multiple points -- as Syracuse routed the Albany Devils, 6-2, at the Onondaga County War Memorial Saturday night.
"It's one of those nights, everything was going well and we got a little lucky," Connolly said.
The league-leading Crunch, who had AHL points leader Tyler Johnson called up earlier in the week, have registered a point in four straight games.
AHL Game Night: 3-16-13 Devils at Crunch

SYR Cote, (2) (Angelidis, Nightingale), 6:38
SYR Panik, (22) (Connolly, Sexton), 10:38 (PP)

SYR Connolly, (26) (Barberio, Oberg), 9:57 (PP)
Third Period
ALB Kelly, (2) (Wohlberg), 8:00
ALB Whitney, (22) (Zalewski, Anderson), 12:38
Brett Connolly, Vladislav Namestnikov, and J.P Cote were the game's three stars.
With Tyler Johnson up in Tampa, Connolly becomes the Crunch's hope for hardware and plaudits. He currently sits in 3rd in the league in scoring, 4 points back of Grand Rapids' Gustav Nyquist. His 26 goals are also now tied for 5th is the AHL.
Vladdy Namestnikov continuing to play well continues to bode very well for the future.
As good a coaching job as Jon Cooper did last season, if he wins the Eastern Conference and even manages to post the best record in the AHL this season, it'll be an even more amazing job. It's hard to believe that with half of his team's core torturing the Carolina Hurricanes in Tampa, Cooper's team still managed to fly out to a 6-0 lead in Albany. He's a special coach. I can't say anything more and still do it justice.
Box score from TheAHL.com.
AHL Game Night: 3-15-13 Admirals at Crunch
Submitted by pete on March 15, 2013 - 20:59Shootout in Syracuse.
Cedrick Desjardins was back with the Crunch tonight and stopped 34 of 37 before allowing 1 of 4 to convert in the shootout session to take the SO Loss.
First Period
Second Period
SYR Namestnikov, (4) (Devos, Barberio), 1:43
NOR Wilson, (6) (Brittain, Guenin), 5:55
NOR Wagner, (5) , 11:14
Third Period
NOR Brittain, (10) (Clark, Lindholm), 6:23
SYR Nightingale, (2) (Angelidis, Namestnikov), 7:19
SYR Angelidis, (10) (Taormina, Barberio), 19:40
NOR- Brittain
Mike Angelidis and Vladislav Namestnikov were the game's first and second stars.
I guess tonight was the first time you could honestly say this Syracuse roster was nearly unrecognizable compared to the team the organization has iced much of the last 2 years. No more Conacher or Johnson or Palat. No more Gudas on the backline. Tokarski traded.
All that said, it's a hopeful sign the team was competitive tonight and that one of the next wave, Vlad Namestnikov, stepped up in an expanded role. That's the way it's going to have to be the rest of the way with the Lightning floundering and so many of the veteran prospects getting their chance in Tampa Bay.
The Crunch face Albany tomorrow. Syracuse holds a 3 point edge in the Eastern Conference with the Crunch holding a 2 point edge of Binghamton and a 3 point edge on Springfield and Providence.

Because FICO advancement has nothing to do with CL's other than convenience factor.
I'll admit I'm doing some silly tricks (5K on a secured card...) to try to goose credit limits later; however, worrying about getting CLI's from lenders who are known to be stingy, isn't a big deal. Don't get hung up on starter card limits, you actually want to advance in score which comes from having a couple tradelines and never, ever missing (or being late) on a payment or letting other things slip through the cracks (collections and what not) is how you move towards winning FICO wise. Eventually your score will open up enough to qualify for cards which do grow in CLI's, but really it's not worth losing sleep over.

HoopsHype Nikola Mirotic rumors
The Bulls will begin negotiations for the first time this offseason with Mirotic, who has a small buyout this summer. Though Real Madrid made noise about possibly signing Mirotic to an extension beyond the one year remaining on his deal, that could contain an out clause should Mirotic opt for the NBA. "We have built a relationship with him," general manager Gar Forman said at last week's NBA draft combine. "We feel confident he will come over at some point. Whether that's this summer or next, we don't know." Chicago Tribune
K.C. Johnson: Gar Forman said he feels confident Mirotic will come at some point. No negotiations yet. Twitter @KCJHoop
Given the sizable buyout required to free Mirotic from his Spanish obligations -- and with Chicago able to kick in only $600,000 toward that buyout that wouldn't count against the salary cap -- it's conceivable Chicago might even ask its talented frontcourt prospect to stay abroad for a fourth successive season since he was drafted. It's hard to see how the Bulls could manufacture the needed financial flexibility to add a high-dollar free agent and Mirotic. The good news is 2011's No. 23 overall pick said earlier this month in an interview with Spain's Canal Plus that he's fine with playing one more season in Madrid, which he calls "home for me." ESPN.com
Kevin Durant: I don't know how the other kid [Nikola Mirotic] plays, but I know that Serge [Ibaka], in the European game, is very difficult to stop. As a friend I would love to see him play the World Championship, but as a player I would like him to be far away. Marca.com
Nikola Mirotic: I don't rule out staying with Real Madrid. I have a two-year contract and right now I'm comfortable here. This is home for me. Canal Plus
Nikola Mirotic: I'm not afraid of playing in the NBA. (...) Doubts? Of course. (...) Watching them [the Bulls] this season a little bit, I think I would fit there. (...) There's a risk, the first year you don't know if you're going to play a lot of minutes, but you don't think about it when you go there. (...) I wouldn't go there like a rookie but like a player who has won a lot of titles. Canal Plus
Does it make sense financially to go to the NBA? Nikola Mirotic: For me the most important thing is hopes and goals. It's not a money thing. I will do what my heart tells me, whatever it's the best for me, go to Chicago or stay in Madrid to improve my game, give something more and build a future. I don't know now, but I'm close to making a decision. As
Has Real Madrid made a good offer? Nikola Mirotic: That question, you would have to ask the club about it. I know they have talked with my agent, but they haven't come to an agreement yet. As
A few days, you said you were waiting for the Spanish Basketball Federation to tell you if they wanted you to play the World Championship. Any update about that? Nikola Mirotic: Nothing. I haven't read anything about it and nobody has contacted me. I spoke my mind, but I don't have any problem with the Federation and I will respect any decision they make. But will you get angry if they say no? Mirotic: There wouldn't be any problem, like there was no problem before. But we will have to wait for their decision and then we'll see how I feel. As
Toni Kukoc doesn't know when or if Nikola Mirotic will leave Real Madrid to join the Bulls. What Kukoc does know, as well as anyone, is what Mirotic will experience if he opts for the NBA. "Thank God Scottie and Michael are not here to torture him," Kukoc said with a laugh during a phone conversation. That, of course, would be Pippen and Jordan. Kukoc bore the brunt of the enmity the Hall of Famers had for general manager Jerry Krause relentlessly endorsing Kukoc during the 1992 Olympics. The pair ultimately embraced Kukoc as an essential piece in the second three-peat. Chicago Tribune
Mirotic won't face such a dynamic. What the Montenegro native will have to overcome are challenges that extend far beyond making baskets. "A lot more games. A lot more travel. Different language. Different food," Kukoc said. "It's a lot." Chicago Tribune
Nikola Mirotic of Real Madrid said that he wants to play for Spanish National Team next summer. Mirotic, who has a passport from Montenegro and Spain, missed Eurobasket 2013, but now he intends to play FIBA World Cup in Spain next summer. "I want to play for Spain. I don't want that people have doubt about me. I hope that Spanish federation will publicly say if they want Serge Ibaka or me to play" said Mirotic. Sportando
Pilar Casado: Mirotic: "I want to play with Spain. What I want is that there's no room for doubt. I hope the Spanish Basketball Federation decides if they want me or Serge Ibaka to play with them." Twitter @pilarcasado
His father Predrag talked with 24Sata about his son. "There is not only Efes in the game. The other options are still Barcelona and Real Madrid" said Predrag to 24Sata. "If Lorbek and Nachbar leaves Barcelona and if Mirotic leaves Real Madrid, they will make rook for Darius" added the father of the player. "I think Dario should play in Europe two more season. He has to play. If he goes to this big club without guaranteed playing time, then it is better to stay with Cibona" ended Predrag. Sportando
League sources say Mirotic would be looking for a deal in the $3 million-$4 million range. (He's no longer governed by the rookie scale, and the Bulls have planned for needing the bulk of their non-taxpayer mid-level exception of $5.3 million on him, sources say.) CBSSports.com
Luke Babbitt is in Real Madrid's radar in case Nikola Mirotic decides to sign with Chicago. As
According to most US based sources, it's a given that Nikola Mirotic will leave Real Madrid, something we also consider a done deal if the Spaniards win the Euroleague. Bulls are ready to spend for the talented forward their mid level exception in a four years contract, which translates to a more than 20 millions USD contract for him. After three years in Europe, Mirotic is not longer restricted by the rookie salary scale and with this contract he can easily cover the monster 2,5 millions euros buy out his contract with Real Madrid includes.

Sending your kid to school with a brown bag lunch is something that many of us do. Our parents sent us to school with a lunch bag and now we are doing the same. There is a problem though. It could be hazardous to our child's health to eat that sandwich by the time lunch rolls around.
According to a new study, many school lunches packed at home may reach unsafe temperatures by the time a child eats -- and can cause foodborne illnesses, which are particularly rough for preschool-aged kids.
I recently had the chance to go to the College Hill Elementary School graduation. It was neat to talk to kids so enthusiastic about music and the possibilities of their future.
Petey is a rescued German Shepherd Dog that loves to hang out with kids. He had an opportunity to visit St. James Day School to teach the kids about how to approach a dog and being a responsible pet owner.
Check out this video with Casey Heynes, the 14 year old that has become an overnight celebrity since his body-slam video hit the internet. Do you know someone who is bullied at school?
A bullying victim has become an Internet hero after he turned the tables on his tormentor.
Teachers say they know who will be the naughtiest kids, the brightest kids and the most popular kids on the very first day of school. How? By by looking at their names.
A school board in Iowa is considering eliminating the A, B, C, D, and F grade system in their 6th, 7th and 8th grades and replacing them with "standards-based reporting" which means that students would be rated "beginning, developing, secure or exceeds" in 10 to 12 objectives per subject.

Trip planning
When I spoke with the marina earlier this week, they said they expect to have all the parts for Dragon Wing some time this week. They didn't say she'd be ready for this weekend, but they didn't say she wouldn't be, either! With any luck, I'll be taking her out for a spin this weekend. If not, well, I still need to start planning how I'm going to get her from Rock Hall, MD to Forked River, NJ. My current plan is to do it over 4 days:
Day 1: Rock Hall to Delaware City, DE
Day 2: Delaware City to Cape May, NJ
Day 3: Cape May to Atlantic City, NJ
Day 4: Atlantic City to Forked River.
I would LOVE this to be 4 consecutive days, but I'm realistic enough to know that it may not happen. That's why I'm trying to be somewhat conservative on these legs. Delaware City will be a nice day from Rock Hall, without really pushing it. The Cape May to AC trip shouldn't be too bad, either (prevailing winds should be with me, with any luck). And the trip up to Forked River from there shouldn't be TOO bad, except for having to cross Barnegat Inlet. That's part of why I was planning to stop at AC; I can set my departure time such that I can catch the inlet at slack tide on a day with good weather.
The big key to the whole trip so far will be timing the transit down the Delaware River. From what I can see in the tide tables, it looks like my best bet would be to try to be in Delaware City around July 30. Any sooner, and the tide ebbs too late in the day and I run the risk of hitting pop-up afternoon thunderstorms during the trip across the bay.
Does that sound right so far?

Kandalaksha Gulf
This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009) |
The Kandalaksha Gulf (Russian: Кандалакшский залив, Skolt Sami: Käddluhtt), Finnish: Kantalahti) is located in the Republic of Karelia, and Murmansk Oblast in northwestern Russia. Forming the north-western corner of the White Sea, it is one of four large bays and gulfs of this sea, the others being the Onega Bay (south-west), the Dvina Bay (south), and the Mezen Bay (south east).
The Kola Peninsula lies north of the Kandalaksha Gulf. The city of Kandalaksha is located at the northern tip of the gulf; the new oil port Vitino, some 10 km to the south.
Kandalaksha Nature Reserve (Кандалакшский заповедник) includes parts of the gulf's coastline and many of the islands in the Gulf.

This fresh Cedar wreath looks sounds fairly simple to make. I am actually going to try to make it. Although I don't have Cedar I have Green and Gold Arbovite but, I think it will give the same effect. If not, I know where to buy a Fresh Christmas Wreath or maybe an Artificial Christmas Wreath at www.wreathsfordoor.com

Help! My Smartphone Is Making Me Dumb — or Maybe Not

Hooked on Social Media
Researchers are continuing to examine the effects of multitasking on our ability to focus, but another soon-to-be-published study offers a glimpse into a potentially negative social change in the smartphone era. University of Kansas researchers recently polled a group of 348 students and found that most of them (83 percent) believed that texting while driving was unsafe — even more unsafe than talking on the phone while driving — but 98 percent of them admitted to doing it anyway.
The study's 89-item questionnaire asked students to rate perceived risks of different types of texting (initiating a text or replying to one) as well as texting during various driving conditions. Most interesting, the study found that students rated driving on the highway to be intensely risky, but most drivers reported they were just as likely to initiate a text while driving on the highway as they would while driving in normal road conditions. In other words, they were able to convince themselves that road conditions were safer, which made it justifiable to text.
"People know it's harmful, and yet they keep doing it, and they tell themselves they have to do it," said Paul Atchley, an associate professor of psychology who led the study.
Atchley chalks this behavior up to the theory of cognitive dissonance: when you persuade yourself that a behavior is less risky by engaging in it — similar to how the perceived risk of smoking declines in smokers, or the perceived risk of drunk driving decreases when people drive drunk.
But why do people feel they have to text while driving? Social networking sites coupled with a constant internet connection everywhere you go support the need for individuals to belong, and some research has shown that exclusion from social networks and text messaging can reduce the feeling of belonging. In short, we grow attached to the lifestyle of being always on, and we want to stay plugged in — even when it's a bad idea.
"We're social organisms. There's so many mechanisms built into brain that are designed for socialization," he said. "The telecommunications industry has hit on something we're built to do."

Sorry. I was thinking about 'loud' divers like my orange monster. I think that most people don't think they are dressy because they have HUGE faces and are not understated.
You're probably right, but I think the diver wouldn't quite work in more conservative places because it's too loud in size.
I wear an orange monster to work most days and also have a hamilton khaki automatic for the days when I'm more dressed up. I like the SOM because it's loud and that fits what I wear much better. However, I'm going to (hopefully) have a lot of interviews next year and I'm thinking of picking up something like this to wear with a suit:
This is my SOM:
And hamilton khaki auto chrono.
Woah! Where?
Also, don't darts defeat the purpose of MTM?
http://luxire.com/ There's a long Luxire thread on SF as well. As far as I understand darts can modify the shape of the shirt in 3D whereas specifying front and back width separately will not give the ability to taper increasingly towards the bottom of the shirt.

Steak Burritos
From EatingWell.com
Here's a burrito inspired by San Francisco's super burritos that come packed with meat, beans, rice, cheese, guacamole and salsa. We've kept this home-style version a bit simpler to make and a whole lot healthier with brown rice, whole-wheat tortillas, and a more reasonable serving size. We recommend wrapping it in foil the traditional way to serve it so you can pick the burrito up and eat it without it falling apart, peeling back the foil as you go. Serve with a cold beer and vinegar-dressed slaw.

It can raise as much as $10 b valuing the company between $75b and $100b
Social networking giant Facebook has filed an initial public offering, which could raise as much as $10 billion and could value the company between $75 billion and $100 billion.
However, the company said it planned to raise $5 billion in its stock sale, the largest public offering on the history of a web company.
Also, Facebook, for the first time, gave potential investors a glimpse into its financial structure.
Generates $3.7 b revenue
In its filing before the Security and Exchange Commission, Facebook said in 2011 it generated revenue of $3.71 billion, an increase of 88 per cent from $1.97 billion the year before and 377 per cent from 2009.
In 2011, its income was $1 billion, an increase of 65 per cent from 2010. Facebook derives 85 per cent of its revenues from advertising, and the rest from social gaming and other fees.
"The company hopes to raise as much as $10 billion when it begins selling shares this spring ...," The Wall Street Journal said in a report.
Founded in 2004 by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook now has some 845 million active users, who in all upload 250 million photos a day.
According to the filing, Mr. Zuckerberg made a salary of $483,333 last year, in addition to a $220,500 bonus for the first half of 2011.
"The paperwork portrays a company that makes the vast majority of its money from selling display ads targeted to its users who have revealed to Facebook much about their lives," the Washington Post reported.
Facebook is expected to file its paperwork several times over the next few months, updating the information it provided to the SEC on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, in a letter to potential investors, Mr. Zuckerberg said Facebook thought a more open and connected world would help create a stronger economy with more authentic businesses that build better products and services. "As people share more, they have access to more opinions from the people they trust about the products and services they use. This makes it easier to discover the best products and improve the quality and efficiency of their lives," he wrote.
Fulfilling commitment
Noting that Facebook was not originally founded to be a company, Mr. Zuckerberg wrote: "This is how we think about our IPO as well. We're going public for our employees and our investors. We made a commitment to them when we gave them equity that we'd work hard to make it worth a lot and make it liquid, and this IPO is fulfilling our commitment. As we become a public company, we're making a similar commitment to our new investors and we will work just as hard to fulfil it." As part of building a strong company, he said his team works hard at making Facebook the best place for great people to have a big impact on the world and learn from other great people.
"We have cultivated a unique culture and management approach that we call the Hacker Way," he said.
"The word 'hacker' has an unfairly negative connotation from being portrayed in the media as people who break into computers.
In reality, hacking just means building something quickly or testing the boundaries of what can be done.
"Like most things, it can be used for good or bad, but the vast majority of hackers I have met tend to be idealistic people who want to have a positive impact on the world," he wrote.
"The Hacker Way is an approach to building that involves continuous improvement and iteration. Hackers believe that something can always be better, and that nothing is ever complete. They just have to go fix it — often in the face of people who say it's impossible or are content with the status quo," Mr. Zuckerberg said.

I've sprouted some canna seeds that I received in a swap, and they're doing great -- but I can't find any info online about how tall they'll grow, can anyone here help? The seeds were labeled "Canna Peach Frost" -- and I'm wondering if I should plant the seedlings among my taller or shorter cannas in my new canna bed. Thanks so much for any info you can give!

Hello Susan, Most Cannas do not grow true from seeds, which means that the seeds you got are from the parent plant canna peach frost, but the seedlings will not turn out exactly like the parent plant. They might be similar though. Therefore i cannot tell you how tall they would grow. you will have to wait and see. There are only a few varieties of canna that grow true from seeds and canna peach frost is not one. Siam. |

Ohio receives poor grade when it comes to possible state corruption
COLUMBUS, Ohio - A new report says Ohio isn't doing so well when it comes to possible state corruption. It's from the group stateintegrity.org.
The organization ranked the buckeye state 35th overall. The ranking is based on failing grades for legislative accountability, lobbying disclosure and judicial accountability in the state.
Indiana came in 23rd in the report. Kentucky fared the best out of the Tri-State ranking 19.

Select.value (form) can be used?
I remember on a book it says that there is no 'value' property on 'select' element in the form.
However, I tested it on IE7/8/9, FF4, Select.value is unbelievably the item selected (i.e. Select.options[Select.seletecdIndex])
Does it also work on Safari Chrome or older versions of IE and FF? Is it a good practice?

I have no idea why your book should say that there is no value property of a select list option. Rubbish! All browsers support it - at least from IE5 onwards.
This simple example may be helpful to you:-Code:<script type = "text/javascript"> function showValue(selectbox) { var si = selectbox.selectedIndex; var txt = selectbox.options[si].text; alert ("Option text is " + txt) } </script>
The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom. - H.L.

so it is.
actually the book is JavaScript the Definitive Guide 5th. the following is what it says about select element:
In some ways, a select-multiple element is like a set of checkbox elements, and a select-one element is like a set of radio elements. The Select element differs from the toggle-button elements in that a single Select element represents an entire set of options. These options are specified in HTML with the <option> tag, and they are represented in JavaScript by Option objects stored in the options[] array of the Select element. Because a Select element represents a set of choices, it does not have a value property, as all other form elements do. Instead, as I'll discuss shortly, each Option object contained by the Select element defines a value property.

One thing to watch out for-if the selected option does not have a value,
all browsers except IE before #9 return the selected option's text.
Older IE's return the empty string in that case.

I think this is what the Guide really WANTED to say
Because a Select element represents a set of choices, it does not have a value ATTRIBUTE, as all other form elements do. Instead, as I'll discuss shortly, each Option object contained by the Select element defines a value ATTRIBUTE. The select element always has a value PROPERTY which represents the value of the selected option in a select-one element and the value of the first selected option in a select-multiple element.

The computer is always right. The computer is always right. The computer is always right. Take it from someone who has programmed for over ten years: not once has the computational mechanism of the machine malfunctioned.André Behrens, NY Times Software Developer
Actually, folks, this "myth" isn't a myth, at all.
Netscape 4.7 (and earlier) indeed did *NOT* support the .value property of a <select>, at all.
So those of use who grew up trying to support MSIE 4 and Netscape 4 learned to dosel.options[sel.selectedIndex].value
even though MSIE 4 *DID* support the .value property.
How's that for a turn of events? MSIE had it "right" before Netscape.
Now, it's possible that NS 4.7 was an aberration. Maybe NS 4.1 did support it. That I don't remember for sure. But I do remember the frustration with NS 4.7.

one monkey-wrench to throw into the mix: the "multiple" attrib. selecting more that one option mean that both .value and .selectedIndex are useless.
also, you can even set select.value, and so long as the sting you set it to is a valid option value, it automagically selects the proper index. pretty cool, and relatively under-used...

Fingerprint Payment System Gets Financing
Cancel your fingerprints (179 comments)
This is an extremely bad idea, since while you can cancel a credit card, you can't cancel your fingerprints . It's just a matter of time before someone figures out a way to use a fingerprint gathered by some undetermined means (discarded coke can, mail-in response form, etc...), scans it and spoofs the terminal into draining your account. And since it's allegedly been "signed" by your print, you can't refute it.
Quite frankly, this system scares the heck out of me.

For a thousand years, the Reapers guarded mankind from the demons that wait in the dark. Now, at the beginning of a new age, the Reapers are betrayed and slaughtered. Only one Reaper remains - Red, and she's out to exact revenge. It's been 100 years since The Red Reaper was traded to the demons by the Teller Witch - her own mother. Rescued by the Reapers, a sacred clan of human/ demon warriors, they raised her as their own, even though she was more demon than the rest of them. Abandoned by her mother, at odds with her Reaper family, struggling with her Reaper training and in love with one man she couldn't have - nothing was going right for the Red Reaper. She was untrained, untested and shared none of her mother's magical abilities. She couldn't even see the future, her mother's greatest gift. Until the day she did - and it changed the world forever.
Strong bloody violence.

HI all,
I am pretty new to this forum..but after browsing thru few posts I thought I would be getting some good solutions. Here is my Issue...Couple of months back I bought Jalapeno pepper plants from target. I used a 5 gallon pot to re plant them but i used only "Scott's Topsoil" to plant the them. I had no clue that it should not be used for plants in containers. Then again I re planted them by replacing 50% of the top soil by potting mix. Now the leaves of jalapeno plants are turning yellow..the bottom ones, but there are few flowers which are turning into jalapenos (I think) I wanted to know if this yellowness of the leaves is common or is it due to the soil or due to the watering (I do water my plants daily) ? Also I live in CA so the climate kind of hot these days.. Please let me know the solution... Thanks, MSVK |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi, welcome to the forum. Its hard to comment with any surety without more details. How are you watering, what kind of sunlight do they have, how big are they (have they visibly grown since you replanted)? Did your potting soil have fertilizer in it or have you fed them? Is the yellowing all over general yellowing or how would you describe it if different? Just with the info you provided, if the yellowing is general all over and complete, I would add that the older bottom leaves on plants that have been stressed early on sometimes yellow and fall off. This is no concern at all, but natural plant behavior. kendra |
Too much water will cause this and watering every day is too much especially with soil that drained poorly. You might get away with watering daily with the new mix. |

Awesome Jacket but runs small
I picked up this jacket because I wanted something with a simple and basic design, but has some color. I'd say the sizing runs a bit small with this jacket. I generally wear a women's Large (borderline xl in some brands) so I went with the XL. I like my jackets to be loose for movement but still nicely fitted. I wish this jacket was looser/bigger, but its close enough. I have enough room to layer lightly, but won't be able to fit a sweatshirt underneath without looking like a marshmallow. The length is good; not too long that it covers your whole butt, but not too short that it rides up. The tighter sizing is my only complaint, but it's something I can still work with. Overall it's an awesome jacket and I'm happy!

Been a batchelor most of my life, and raised by one of the best cooks I have ever seen. Mom was born and raised in Kentucky, and learned the down home type of cooking that put tasty nourishing meals on the table as economical as possible. We always raised two large gardens, growing everything you could imagine, with our own fruit trees, and raising our own chickens, pigs, and beef. We canned everything in the garden, and once every possible jar, crock, etc. was filled, my brother Steve and I were allowed to sell the remaining produce to buy school clothes and supplies. In other words, I learned to love to cook at my moms knees.

Who could forget the Epic Trick Shot guys that broke records for the basketball shots made and racked up millions of YouTube hits along the way? Not us, were are still dreaming it--but in the our dreams we are the ones making the shots of course! Well, now those dudes have some serious competition in Brodie Smith and his fierce Frisbee skills. We didn't know we could be mesmerized by a Frisbee trick shot until we watched Brodie's most recent video--and apparently so were loads of other folks because the video went seriously viral. What has all of our eyeballs glued? In the video Brodie passes to a poll vaulter mid leap who makes an epic catch just before he falls to the mat. We have no doubt that soon more "hardcore" Frisbee players will be showing off their stunts online!

Today is my two year veggiversary and a lot has happened these two years. I've changed as a person (for the better I hope) and sometime last summer I decided to go vegan. Going vegetarian was a big step for me and a very positive one and when I later decided to go vegan it was yet another big step forwards. I've learnt so much since going veg and have done some awesome things. Today is also the one year anniversary of this blog. It's been a great year with lots of delicious food, nice people and plenty if good things going on. We're celebrating with lunch out and maybe a trip to the book store, there's sales going on right now and there's a few cookbooks I've had my eyes on.. we'll see! Today is also the day I get this months paycheck, so yay it's a good day! Feast your eyes on these pretties! A couple of days ago we had the Walnut, white bean and spinach phyllo rolls from Eat, Drink and Be Vegan with a salad of leafy green with raspberry vinaigrette and nuts. It was absolutely fabulous. I like phyllo dough a lot but it can be quite hard to work it as it dries out so quickly and is quite delicate. Next time I make these I'll be making some baklava as well. Baklava is heavenly. For dessert a no bake raspberry pie with lime. Look at the colour of that pie! That's what it looked like, it was hypnotic.I changed the recipe for the strawberry pie around a bit and this wonderful pie was what we got. Next I think I'll make it with blueberries. |

Holiday Gifts for Movie Lovers: Home Decor Edition
Features By Caitlin Hughes on November 30, 2012 | Be the First To CommentNow that it's post-Thanksgiving – the real holiday season, in my book – it's time to start thinking about what to get for those movie lovers close to your heart. Speaking from personal experience, it's oftentimes hard to surprise your movie lover with something, as they likely have every DVD you can think to get them, and what interests are more interesting than movies, anyway? Fear not – I've got a few week's worth of good ideas that will delight even the biggest movie nerd with a variety of gifts that reach beyond the $5 DVD section at Target. This week, I'm going to focus on movie-related home décor. Yes, it's out there, and doesn't stop at movie posters. Gifting home decor may sound boring, but doesn't have to be – it's a fun way to class up your or your friend's dwelling, emblazoning every room with impeccable filmic taste.

Siemens Partners With Bechtel And AECOM To Win Four Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity Contracts For U.S. Army's $7 Billion Renewable And Alternative Energy Power Production Program
Siemens Government Technologies, Inc. announced today that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville, working with the Army Energy Initiatives Task Force (EITF) has completed the initial awards under all four Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOC) for geothermal, solar, wind and biomass technologies to support renewable energy on Defense Department installations. The four MATOCs have multiple awardees but the Siemens team was the only one that was selected for all of them.
This MATOC will be used to procure reliable, locally generated, renewable and alternative energy for DoD installations through power purchase agreements (PPA). The contracts provide a three-year base with seven one-year options, for a total ordering period of 10 years. The $7 billion contract capacity will be expended for PPAs to procure energy during a period of up to 30 years from renewable energy generation systems that are designed, financed, constructed, operated and maintained by contractors using private sector financing.
"As the only company to be awarded all four renewable technologies on this landmark MATOC, Siemens has assembled a core team of trusted and reliable partners who bring more than 100 years of combined industry experience in the energy market," said Judy Marks, president and CEO, Siemens Government Technologies, Inc. "Together, with best-in-class subcontractors Bechtel and AECOM, we will deliver mission success by responding to task orders with efficiency, innovation and effectiveness to accomplish the Army's goals of increasing their use of renewable energy, enhancing infrastructure resilience and energy security, while decreasing energy costs."
In April 2012, the White House announced the Defense Department was making one of the largest commitments to clean energy in history, by setting a goal to deploy 3 gigawatts of renewable energy -- including solar, wind, biomass or geothermal -- on Army, Navy and Air Force installations by 2025. That is enough energy to power 750,000 homes. The Army's goal is 1 gigawatt of that total.
