" Manufacturer: Pineapple / Type: Fitness "
* Prices may differ from that shown
As some of you may be aware, my daughter and I are on a pre-Christmas fitness regime in order to try and shed pounds before Christmas. We are going to the gym, but we're both too busy to be going every day and so we try to do at least an hour of exercise per day at home using some of the low-tech equipment we have assembled. One such piece of equipment in the Pineapple Thigh Toner which we bought on the understanding that it can be used to tone the thighs, as well as the arms and chest......every little helps!! The Pineapple Thigh Toner cost me just £7.99 from JJB sport and, like most Pineapple equipment, the cost seemed very reasonable and was an amount I was willing to pay.
Like every other piece of Pineapple equipment we own, the Pineapple Thigh Toner is a deliciously girly pink - which is great for those among us who don't mind identifying with girlie pink, but I do think it's appeal would be somewhat limiting! I bought it already assembled and so there were was no fiddily DIY which is always a bonus as DIY really isn't my forte! Basicially, the thigh toner is two pieces of metal which are joined together in the centre on a spring mount and covered in pink foam for comfort. The idea is that you put the contraption between your things and then squeeze together and then gently release, repeating the action several times. I tend to do 40 times in the morning and 40 times in the evening - and I also use it on my arms, simply holding the contraption out in front of me and squeezing the two metal parts together in an easy motion. I find using this piece of equipment is really easy, although a lot more taxing on my muscles than I actually thought it would be.
I do find that the spring tension is set just about right for me, but the fact that this tension can't be altered is a definite negative because surely we all have different strengths and abilities. In addition to this, I think the foam on the two "handles" could be a little better as the foam is quite smooth and so doesn't lend much friction when I'm using it, meaning that the contraption is prone to slipping during usage and I have to stop to reposition it.....which can get in the way of maintaining a good rhythm and make using it sometimes a bit frustrating. I do like the fact that the foam handles can be wiped over because sometimes they can get a bit sweaty and so wiping them over with a damp cloth does keep them clean. I also find that the equipment is robust and in the last 3 months that I've had it and used it daily, it's still in perfect working order and looks and feels like it did when it was new.
As for whether it works......well, I feel it does. It has toned my thighs without making them really muscley - which was the effect I was really going for. I don't think it's a quick fix and it's taken 3 months to get the effect I was looking for, but perseverance has paid off. The only thing is that I do find using it sometimes pulls on my lower back where I had surgery for a prolapsed disc a few years ago and so this can be uncomfortable - but my physio seems to think it's not going to cause any damage.
Overall, I would recommend this product if you're wanting to exercise on a budget. It's not perfect....but it costs under a tenner!
The Pineapple thigh toner is one of those items that I have bought over the years convinced that I was going to use religiously and then proceeded to use a few times before it finally got relegated to its new life in the back of one of my cupboards.
I bought it from a sports shop in town and I think it cost me in the region of £7. The thigh toner is made from two pieces of metal which have a spring mechanism in the middle and are covered in a pink foam. The spring mechanism gives the toner its resistance which when you squeeze it together between your legs helps to firm your muscles making your thighs more lean and less wobbly.
I have always had a slight fear with these sorts of toners as I have always been scared that it is going to either snap in half when I'm squeezing or else go flying off into my face but this one has always seemed secure enough and I have never felt too worried about it snapping. The foam is of quite a good quality and does help to make it more comfortable and also stops it from slipping too much.
As well as using the toner for your thighs you can also use it to tone your arms and shoulder muscles just by moving the positioning of your arms. When using it you can really feel the burn so you know that you must be doing something right.
The reason that I didn't use this all that much was because it is a lot more difficult to use than I had imagined. The spring mechanism is really tight which means that it takes a lot of effort to squeeze it together. I had bought it thinking that I could use it whilst watching the TV but because it takes so much concentration I couldn't really do that.
I would recommend this as although I stopped using it that was because I am a bit lazy and couldn't really be bothered to dedicate the time required to see results from it. It is well made and the times I did use it I could feel my muscles beginning to burn after only squeezing a few times. In fact after writing this review I think that I will hunt my one out and start using it again and see about getting my legs looking more toned in time for the Christmas party season.
The Pineapple Thigh Toner is one of a set of pastel pink coloured exercise equipment which is aimed at teenage to late 20s women. The Pineapple brand is known for being a dance gym and their clothes have been around for quite a while now - candy coloured tracksuits, gym wear and bowling bags, and aside from having their own high street shops they sell equipment in stores such as Debenhams, JJB Sports, Sport Soccer and online.
This Thigh Toner costs £8 and is designed to primarily focus on the upper leg, toning, building muscle and trimming fat. Of course, any exercise regime is best with a healthy eating plan, and with this in mind I purchased the Pineapple Thigh Toner - to help me tone the thigh area whilst following a healthy diet, as I can't really get to the gym, being a new mother. This is an exercise I thought I could fit inbetween the nappy changes, feeds and everything else.
The basic idea is one you are probably already familiar with - two 'hooks' of metal covered in a thick rubber pipe which serve as handles if you are doing arm exercises, and for something for your thighs to rest on, if you are doing leg. They are connected by a black plastic covered spring. The idea is you push against the spring, hold it, and release, and enough reps of this constitutes a workout.
In principle however, it's not that good, simple, or easy. The Pineapple Thigh Toner seems to want to fly off in random directions, and is really rather dangerous - in fact I stopped using it in the lounge or near my daughter, in case I broke the TV (or harmed her!). It's quite difficult to build up a decent rhythm and build up any sort of a sweat, so you don't really feel like you've worked out, or burned any calories. Even when you are holding it with your hands and doing upper arm exercises, it doesn't feel quite safe. For this reason I barely use it, having tried to master it maybe five or six times. To be honest even if it wasn't a dangerous missile it's not very stimulating, and as you can't work out quickly, it will take a lot longer to get the results you want as opposed to say a stepper where you can go as fast or as slow as you like.
Overall this is not bad a price, at £8, but it is on the flipside, near worthless, as I really can't see how anyone can tame it enough to work out to a decent degree with it, and get serious results. There is a lot of exercise kit on the market for under £10 and therefore all I can recommend you do is read the reviews on DooYoo (and I've tried a lot of exercise equipment myself!) and purchase something which has a bit more fun involved, as well as being safer.
I can only really give this 2 stars out of 5 - it's an OK price, it looks nice and doesn't take up too much space. If, by some divine intervention you can stop it from catapulting across the room, and you don't mind the lack of variety, I guess you could burn a few calories with this or tone up, but only if you're extremely patient and have a lot of free time - sadly I do not.
After my first pregnancy last year I went on a concerted effort to get back to fitness and without initially the benefit of gym membership and so I used a lot of equipment in the house and this thigh toner from Pineapple was one such item. On the plus side it was nice and cheap as it was under a tenner and it was nice and comfortable to use at there was quite a good amount of padding on the metal bars. The padding is a very girly pink colour however it does show any dirt and marks quite easily which is a negative for me.
The bars are curved and operate off a central spring, the idea is that you fit it between your thighs and then squeeze your legs inwards which forces the bars to move towards each other as you use your thigh muscles, you certainly do feel the strain when you start to use this however one of its limitations is the fact that it is rather one dimensional as you cannot adjust the tension in it, so initially it is very hard to close however over time you have to rely more on repetition rather than being able to increase the load needed which you can on far more expensive gym equipment.
It can be used on your arms as well however I did not find it very comfortable to do this, plus it is not the safest piece of equipment as you have to also control it with your legs effectively and if you drop it then it can be painful as i discovered when I dropped it and it caught my ankle bone. Personally I found that it had limited relevance, fine as part of an exercise routine but a bit one dimensional and something I only used a little at a time. It is better than doing nothing I guess but there are other ways to tone and strengthen your thighs rather than using this type of product. At least with the low price you are not too much out of pocket.
I was looking for something to use to tone the muscles in my legs without adding any bulk to them after the birth of my baby a year ago when I spotted this in a local sports store for £7.99 what really made this appeal to me out of all the others in the store was that it was pink in colour and obviously aimed at women as I didn't want to buy something that would give too much resistance and I wouldn't be able to use.
I initially brought this to use to tone up the muscles in my legs but after purchasing it realised it could also be used for my arms and chest as well, which is great as I got an all in 1 toner for a reasonable price.
It is a very simple piece of kit to use as all you have to do is squeeze it together using the body part you want to firm up and the coating in the bars make it easy to use as it doesn't slip and very comfortable to use too.
The resistance is created by the steel spring in the middle, when I first started to use this 12 months ago it was a bit of a struggle to push it together more than ten times without my body aching but I have slowly progressed with this and now find it easy and enjoyable to do, it does work but slowly so don't expect any over night miracles and it takes around 6 weeks of use to start seeing much difference.
There is a fitness guide in with the toner too, which is helpful.
This is a good toner for beginners like my self but it wouldn't really give enough resistance to someone who was already toned and certainly wouldn't give enough for most men
I went into this, my fourth and final, pregnancy knowing I was already overweight. Well I didn't actually, but damn my fertility that had me looking at a positive pregnancy test within a month of deciding we wanted another baby! I thought I'd have a few months at least to lose the excess pounds, but nature isn't like that and I have found myself definitely (or should that be defiantly?) eating for two throughout.
I didn't want to end up the size of a hippo this time around though so payed a personal trainer an extortionate amount of money to guide me through some safe exercises that wouldn't put any stress on baby (or me!). Obviously, core work is out so we decided to concentrate on losing the fat from my arms and legs during my pregnancy and this would obviously make it easier when baby finally arrives to lose the extra tummy and bum fat.
This is one item of exercise equipment I was advised to buy and use, not this particular Thigh Toner but the pretty pink of this Pineapple one appealed more than the usual grey designs.
It is basically two curved bars which are attached in the middle by a strong spring. You put it between your legs and squeeze your thighs together, forcing the bars closer together. This will work the muscles in your thighs and also your calves to some extent.
This piece of exercise equipment is very stiff to use, I thought I was quite fit but it took me weeks to master this and be able to squeeze my thighs together close enough to move the bars to any degree. You can feel the burn in your muscles as you work out, and you do need some control in your legs as the Thigh Toner can and does slip out and fly across the room!
It can be used to tone your arms too, although I'm a weakling and struggle to use it on my arms. It is worth persevering with when it comes to your arms though as using it like this can also help to tone your chest muscles. I have no intention of breast feeding so intend to begin using it like this as soon as I have had the baby, as repeated pregnancies are definitely beginning to take their toll on my once pert boobs!
The Thigh Toner is very comfortable to use as the metal bars are both covered in a pink foam tube. This does make my legs a bit sweaty if I'm using it on bare skin, but still much better than using plain metal. Using the product as a pregnant woman, I also feel as though it is helping to strengthen my pelvic floor which is excellent as it will not only make the actual birth easier but will reduce the temporary (minor) incontinence I always suffer after having a baby.
I can see a very slight difference in the appearance of my thighs, obviously at seven months pregnant my body is undergoing changes so I won't see the overall results until I've had the baby. Saying this, I'm impressed with the feel of my muscles after using this for a few minutes each day and I think I will definitely end the pregnancy with slimmer legs than I started with.
£7.99 from JJB Sports.
My fiancé mark and I like to go to the gym twice a week. but sometimes there just are not enough hours in the day. As we are planning our wedding for next year I really want to keep well toned so I bought a few things from JJB Sports.
One of the items I got was the Pineapple Thigh Toner. I was attracted to this range mainly because its pink and looks nice and girly. It cost me just £7.99 which I thought was reasonable.
The Thigh Toner is a pretty standard piece of keep fit equipment and should be very easy to use.
It mainly consists of 2 curved metal bars with a soft pink covering. There is a spring in the centre so the bars can be pushed together. This is ,made of reinforced steel. The whole thing seemed very well made.
When it comes to using the Thigh Toner it should be simple. Just lie on the floor, knees bent and place the toner between the thighs and squeeze. Great! So one evening when Mark was out I got my Pineapple gym bits out and thought I would give them a go ( I also bought the dumb bells and the rowing action exerciser).
I laid on the floor, squeezed the toner and it shot straight out and across the room!! The cats who were at first extremely interested in what I was dong flew upstairs to the safety of the bedroom. I tried to use the thigh toner several times and the same thing kept happening. I felt really cross! What should have been an evening of nice gentle exercise was turning into a farce, and quite a dangerous one at that!
Over all I would have to say that I do not recommend the Pineapple Thigh Toner. It seems to have a design fault. I did think may be it was just me but I have since read several review on here and see that others have had similar problems.
In conclusion the item that should have helped to give me toned thighs and a great bum has been shoved under the bed. Another item for e bay.
During my years as a budding Triple Jumper I experimented with a vast range of exercise aides intended to improve my performance in pretty much all aspects of the event. I have been attempting to review a range of the products I have tried over the past few weeks and am focusing on this Pineapple Thigh Toner at present. I had previously ignored products intended to just "tone" as toning doesn't really aid the sport and I was more focused on items to utilise strength. However, another member of the team mentioned he had been using these for a similar event and felt his thighs had felt in better shape, helped decrease fatigue in legs and added some strength. I was fairly pessimistic but nevertheless, after seeing them for only £7.99 in a local sports shop decided to give it a try.
After getting over the initial embarrassment of realising this item is a) only available and pink and b) suited for women (it was the only one in stock of any range for arguments sake) I took this home and began using it straight away.
As you can see in the picture the toner has a black frame with the padded part being covered by a pink foam. It's a well made product and certainly feels robust and wlel put together and not at all cheap. Its been used by myself and my partner for over two years now and is still in tip top shape so is very durable.
There are two ways to do the exercise to have most effect, either sitting down or lying on your back. The item goes in place between the thighs and you are required to use a downward push using the strength in the thighs to close the item together. It takes some effort and it will be harder than you expect. Its quite firm in between the legs though so there is no chance of it coming loose or flying off. After only one or two goes you will start to feel the force which is always a good sign that it is working. Its hard to do any more than about 20 in one go form the off but I started getting 30-40 reps in about 5 times a night and I noticed some muscle definition. It was a definite aid to my exercise and training routine and did seem to add some strength. I wouldn't recommend it to be used alone but in conjunction with a good training programme it will have effect. Worth every penny!
When the summer months arrived i decided i needed to shape up and fight the baby fat bulges. Pineapple have an amazing fitness range out all pink and girly. There equipment is very cheap and good quality. So fat i have purchased the ball, weights, dumbbells, slimmer belt, yoga mat, and more recently the thigh toner.
I liked the idea that i could sit watching the tv and use it at the same time.
The pineapple thigh toner costs only £7.00 from jjb sports.
The thigh toner is baby pink with a black frame.
The pink part is just foam covering the metal making it soft when squeezed.
The thigh toner goes between your thighs and you have to push down with the strength in your thighs and then release. You should do around 15 a day to start with.
The exercises can be done sitting down or laying on my side on the yoga mat and doing some many with with side and so many on the other side.
This is easy to use and builds the mussels in the legs and bum.
You can use it to build up the chest area and arms by pushing it in and out with your hands.
I liked this thigh toner but not sure i have noticed much of a difference in my legs yet.
I recommend the thigh toner, i feel its a good work out and very cheap.
Pineapple have a range of exercise equipment, most of which I haven't actually tried out only admired from afar, but I did purchase their thigh toner, a device which is meant to strengthen and tone thighs and bottoms.
Like the rest of the Pineapple range, the color scheme is an attractive mix of baby pink and dark grey, and I do like the colours. The pink makes it feminine but the black/grey tones it down and stops them being too girly for sensible use.
I bought mine from TK Maxx for around £5, but I have also seen Pineapple equipment in JJB Sports. I thought the price was reasonable for something I initially wanted to try out as a bit of a fad, to work alongside my yoga practice and other exercises.
It's a strange looking device, with a dark pivoting section in the middle and two bent 'legs' coming off the sides of this which are padded with pink foam. To use, you place it between your thighs, ideally whilst sitting or lying down (don't try it standing, it doesn't work properly!) and slowly squeeze your knees together. The thigh toner machine provides resistance to this and so makes your muscles work harder and firm up over time.
After a few minutes of use you can really feel the resistance on your legs and mine did start to ache not long after using the machine. You have to go slowly when using this, as if you try to rush, the device will work it's way out of the optimum position and can spring out between your legs. I find going slowly stops it slipping so don't rush!
After a few weeks of regular use (before I got bored with it) I found this to have a slight effect on the tone of my legs and thighs, and they did feel a bit firmer, though I don't know if that's wishful thinking!
As far as thigh toners go this is as good a device as a few other brand I have tried - it's a similar price and performs to a similar level, where it does firm thighs up a little with consistent use. For £5 you can't really go wrong if you have the time to devote to this thigh training toner.
Whilst looking for the Pineapple Fitness Ball, I was pleased to find the Pineapple Thigh Toner for £7.99 which I thought was fairly cheap. I was also desperate to tone up my thighs as I have never been overly happy with them.
Like the fitness ball, the thigh toner is pink but it didn't have the giant display of "Pineapple" across it. It does match all the other gym equipment though and does not look out of place. The toner is a strange looking thing, sort of like a bendable boomerang!
It is easy to use. It is simply a case of putting it between your thighs and squeezing and releasing. This is supposed to build and shape outer thighs, firm the inner thighs and give you a better shaped bum as well as toning your arms and chest if you use it in your hands. Sounded great to me! Plus you get to lie down whilst you doing the thigh toning, though this sounds great, it actually isn't! It is lucky that it was simple to use as I didn't receive any instructions with it. Having had a look around on the internet, I have found this to be a common problem.
On paper, this sounds like an amazing piece of equipment to use at home in reality, however, it is a huge disappointment. Every single time I have tried to use this, it has slipped away from my thighs and either clattered to the floor or nearly hit someone as it flew out when I pushed my legs together. I don't know about being something to improve fitness, I think it is more of a health hazard! After many times of perservering with it, I gave up and threw it back in the box. And I didn't bother with the arm and chest work out after two times as it was the most boring and ineffective exercise. It probably works really well on the chest and arm area should you keep going with it but you are practically just standing still doing it. I can think of many other active ways to tone and strengthen your chest and arms as well as being able to burn off more calories.
I found the toner to be an absolute waste of my time and my money. Do yourselves a favour and avoid it like the plague unless you actually have someone who you would like to see hit in the head with this piece of rubbish when it slips from your thighs!
I was lucky enough to receive some Debenhams vouchers last Christmas, so I excitedly toodled off to our local store during the January sales. I was hoping to buy a new bag, maybe a party dress or some pretty shoes- definitely not sports equipment!
I happened to stumble across their sports equipment while I was looking at a little black dress in the Pineapple section. Until then I had been unaware that Debenhams or the Pineapple brand section sold any kind of fitness equipment. I fell in love with the little black dress, it was so sparkly and pretty- but very very tight! Not a forgiving shape following my Christmas and New Year indulgences! So it was for this reason that I wondered over to the sports equipment to see if there was anything that would help me tone up and lose a few pounds.
I have never been happy with my thighs, while I am not overweight as far back as I can remember they have been wobbily and unshapely. The Pineapple Thigh Toner seemed perfect. No expensive gym membership, no lycra-clad perfect people wandering about making me feel even more insecure about my wobbly bits, and it seemed like using the Thigh Toner would fit easily into my day.
The full price of the Thigh Toner was £8, but it had been reduced to £4 in the January sales. It felt like I had nothing to lose, so I bought it and was rather looking forward to trying it out- I really wanted to tone up for my dress! As you can see from the picture, the toner is pink. I don't really like the colour pink, but as it was cheap I wasn't overly fussed. However, any macho men thinking of ordering one may be less than impressed with there being no alternative colour to choose from.
Using the toner is supposedly very simple. You lie on your back with your knees bent, and hold the toner between your legs. By gently pushing your legs together, you are then working and toning up your thigh muscles. The first time I used this, I am embarrassed to say that when I gently pushed my legs together, the toner went flying across the room. This happened on countless occasions, and as a result I had to stop using it for fear of breaking something when it flew off! Whether this is down to my poor technique or if it is a genuine fault witht he product I'm not sure. However my sister had the same problem when using it, and I see Partygirl09 (who has also reviewed this toner) had similar issues. There are no grippy bits on the ends of the toner that sit on your legs- perhaps if there had been then the toner might have stayed put better.
The instructions tell me I can also use this to tone my arms. At least by holding it in my hands, the toner didn't take flight, but at the same time this makes for a pretty dull work out. Personally I prefer doing exercise to (loud!) music, and I would usually use dumbells during a dance keep fit video to work on my arms. I felt silly standing there just squeezing the toner. I don't doubt it would tone arms if you had the patience to use it frequently enough, but there are much more fun ways to do this. Maybe I'm just a fidget but I would rather be bouncing about than standing still, and combining toning with a cardio routine is also burning off more calories.
In summary, I really can't recommend this product. I thought it was badly designed, and should have had some kind of grips on the end of the arms to help keep it in place between the legs. For me personally it was a waste of time and money, and it did nothing for helping me get into my dress! If you can find it anywhere for a bargain price then maybe it is worth giving it a try, but don't have high expectations of this toner as sadly you will most probably be disappointed.
This is the most recent item i have purchased from the Pineapple workout range, ive only had it about 6 weeks at the most which isn't really that long. But to be honest im not that impressed in comparison with the other items i own from the same range. (All of which i have reveiwed on DooYoo!!) Heres Why:
*What Is It*
I had never heard of a thigh toner before seeing this in TK Max but considering it was cheap and i find the other Pineapple gym equipment so effective i purchased anyways. Inside the box i wasn't surprised to see that the signature colour scheme of baby pink and black had been upheld, meaning i now pretty much have a complete pink gym in my bedroom!!! The toner is a slightly weird looking thing that i don't really know how do describe so just look at the picture and you will just see it for yourself LOL.
*What It Does*
You use the toner by quite simply squeezing it between your thighs in order to build your strength and increase firmness. The toner is used to tighten arms, tone your chest, shape and firm both inner and outer thighs. Looking online you are suppose to get an instruction leaflet with it but i didn't which to be honest i think was more to do with where i purchased it from as it was very cheap and the box was battered and i dont think this is a reflection of the product.
*Where To Buy*
I purchased this for a fiver from TK Max but the Pineapple gym equipment is also stocked in JJB Sports, The thigh toner is priced at £7.99.
*What I Thought*
You can definitlety feel the thigh toner working prettty much straight away however i did find it quite hard to use compared to the other equipment as it kept slipping and i got annoyed and frustrated quite quickly and cant really use this for very lonmg periods of time. I still us the toner from time to tim but not as much as the other gym equipment as personally i dont think its as good.

Kingston's new mayor popped out for one of his very first ceremonial visits at the weekend.
Councillor Ken Smith visited the First Malden Scout group's annual summer fair in Plough Green on Saturday afternoon.
He got involved with games and brought along his mayoress, Madeleine Smith, and deputy mayor Councillor Cathy Roberts.
The event is now in its 30th year and the scout group raised £3,000 on the day to go towards a new minibus.

Brandon Dubinsky said he felt good after his first skate, and it was a hard skate, and said he's not ruling out anything as far as when he might come back. John Tortorella said he's been cleared to play, and they just have to see how he feels tomorrow, and that he's not ruled out for the game against the Penguins.
News: Marc Staal went off the ice early, after either being hit by a shot or twisting something apparently, or perhaps with a skate issue. It didn't look serious. Tortorella said he's fine, and that he didn't even know that he went off early, and that he would have been told if he was hurt.
Ryan Callahan will play tomorrow. Erik Christensen said he's day by day, won't play tomorrow, and has a date in mind, though he wouldn't say what that date is.
Tortorella also said that Vinny Prospal is ready to return, but that he wants Prospal to have two more practices for conditioning purposes, and so the target for his return is Thursday vs. the Devils.
Dan Girardi will also play tomorrow. He said he's 100 percent. Tortorella isn't sure if Michael Del Zotto will play, and if so, who comes out … but added he liked some of the things Del Zotto provided on the power play before the break.
"Too many bodies for practice," Tortorella said, adding that the "Orange Line" of Duhinsky-Prospal-Christensen was the best line in practice.
"It's good to get the guys on the ice. I'm not sure who can play, who can't yet, but obviously when you have that many bodies, they're getting close."
On what it means to get Callahan back:
"Everything. He does everything for us. He's one of our leaders. I wasn't sure, and I give our team a lot of credit — when we lost him, that's when I worried about where the team was going to go. And I give our guys a lot of credit for hanging in there and finding a way. Cally's that important, so it will be good to have him back in the room first of all, and then on the ice."
I'll be back much later with quotes from Tortorella, Callahan, Dubinsky, Christensen. For now, gotta scoot.

Marlin1975 - Thursday, September 13, 2012 - linkIs that new pricing for the GT640? Most of the GT640s go for more then $99. Usuaully the prices shown are MSRP but the carsd can be had cheaper, rebate/sales/coupons/etc....
Maybe they will drop and the GT650 can be had for around $100 or less after rebate? Reply
Marlin1975 - Thursday, September 13, 2012 - linkActually looks like Newegg has the GT650's for $120-160 range. Over priced compared to the 7770 IMO Reply
StevoLincolnite - Sunday, September 16, 2012 - linkWaaaay Overpriced when compared to the old Radeon 5770's which you can buy for next to nothing these days and then overclock them, Amazing how much the mid range and low-end have stood still in terms of performance for the last couple of generations. Reply
Ryan Smith - Thursday, September 13, 2012 - linkI've always used the median price of the 6 cheapest cards, which right now on Newegg puts the GT 640 at $99. There are some above that, but there are also some below that. Reply
nitrousoxide - Thursday, September 13, 2012 - linkI miss the days when that title only belongs to the big boss. Reply
Arbie - Monday, September 17, 2012 - link
I had an electric blue 440 with a six-pack. Now it's who has the most powerful graphics board. That's OK. Reply
silverblue - Thursday, September 13, 2012 - linkToms appear to have tested the 650 and it's about the same level as the 7750, but a good 20% or so behind the 7770. Still, different test environments and different test suites yield different test results. You can definitely say a couple of things though - the 650 is going to be quiet and frugal, and a big step up from the 450. Reply
piggys - Thursday, September 13, 2012 - linkHow would the 650 compare to the 560 SE. Both of them fall in my price range. Does 192 bit help the 560? The 650 is clocked higher at 1124mhz vs 776mhz 560. It also has more cores at 384 vs 288. There are some AMD 7770 in my price range, I could go with that too. So out these 3 which one would be the best? My MAX price is 130. Plan on buying it this weekend. Reply
Meaker10 - Thursday, September 13, 2012 - linkGet the 7770. Reply
prdola0 - Friday, September 14, 2012 - linkGet the GTX650. Also, wait a bit before the prices settle. A week or two should do.
If any two Nvidia/AMD cards are around the same performance and price levels, it's always better to get the Nvidia card. That's mainly because of traditionally better drivers, better game support and overall customer support on Nvidia's side. AMD still needs to work on that. If that doesn't matter anything to you, then I'd go for any of the cards. Reply
flyck - Friday, September 14, 2012 - linkthe 650 is 20% slower than the 7770... actually its even a tad slower than the 7750. Although depending on the game choice this might fluctuate. There is absolutely no reason to buy a 650 for the price they are set above. Reply
lmcd - Saturday, September 15, 2012 - linkYeah when I first saw the guy above you's post I was trying to post from my phone desperately "DON'T LISTEN DDD:"
Thanks for making me feel better that not all hope was lost.
NVidia dropped the ball on midrange, here. The 650 seems about in line with the 5770 I got nearly two years ago, which is absolutely ridiculous, given that I got it for a nearly-comparable price. Two years ago.
I would go with a 7750 or 7770 if you think you might XF (CF?) later. It seems like most 7750s can OC the difference to a 7770 anyways, if you find you need the performance. Reply
jtenorj - Wednesday, September 19, 2012 - linkI am very late, but HD7770 is the best choice. The shaders on the gtx560se run at
twice the speed of the rest of the chip, but a hd7770 is faster now than at launch
thanks to new drivers and overclocks like crazy. The gtx650 has lots of OCing
headroom too, but it performs worse than hd7750 at stock speeds( the gtx 650 needs
that pcie 6pin to stretch its legs). The performance of stock HD7770 at launch and a
stock gtx560se would be about the same(again, HD7770 is faster now than then and
has a lot more overclocking headroom). Oh, yeah. Of course gtx560se is faster than
gtx650(when they are at stock speeds), but HD7770 is faster than both(at stock, much
faster when overclocked).
Don't bother with crossfire, though(support is not universal and you risk experiencing
micro stuttering). Just get the HD7770 and overclock the snot out of it. Physx is very
niche, and you can pretty much make a radeon do anything else a geforce can do. Reply
KineticHummus - Friday, September 14, 2012 - linkIn my opinion, it seems like performance for a ~$100 card really has not increased all that much since a few years ago. Power consumption and noise has seen tremendous progress, dont get me wrong, but pure progress has been slow. I bought a gts250 in I believe March of 2010, possibly earlier, for 90 bucks. I'd love to upgrade, for a max of around 130 bucks, but based off of testing for the 7770/50 and the gtx650 (only seen tomshardware's review so far on the 650), I am left out in the cold with no real "upgrade" option. Only sidegrades to less power/noise. Really hope a generation soon will change this. Reply
CaedenV - Friday, September 14, 2012 - linkWelcome to the future.
I think a lot of companies are realizing that they have reached the satisfy-able 'minimum' for customers at the low end. Proceeding generations will see smaller size, smaller heat sinks and fanless systems, less overall power usage, and the inclusion of newer standards and formats as they come out, but raw performance may not see much increase on the low end until new consoles come out. And even then we will see a boost in the minimum for a few years, and then it will level off.
Meanwhile, the high end of things will continue to see growth with minimal price increases, which means that you will get and ever increasing !/$ on mid-range cards.
The only thing that will really push the low end cards out of this quagmire will be whenever (if ever) onboard GPUs catch up to these performance levels. Reply
lmcd - Saturday, September 15, 2012 - link5770 actually seems to match this card entirely, including the price I got it at nearly two years ago. Reply
MySchizoBuddy - Saturday, September 15, 2012 - linkFor CUDA is it better to buy two of 650s instead of one 660? would love to see benchmarks with dual 650s Reply
rscoot - Saturday, September 15, 2012 - linkI can't see why they would be, you'd still be down 192 SPs compared to a 660. Reply
Lerianis - Sunday, September 16, 2012 - linkI'm assuming that is meant to keep competitors from easily dissecting leaks of design information. Reply
jtenorj - Wednesday, September 19, 2012 - linkThe 100 and 300 series were oem parts based on g9x silicon. Reply
tviceman - Wednesday, September 26, 2012 - linkIt's been two weeks now, no review here yet of this card. Is one incoming? Reply

BRADFORD Town suffered a hiccup in their bid to claim the Toolstation League First Division title last weekend as they were stunned by county rivals Devizes Town.
Bradford suffered only their second league defeat of the season as a goal from the visitors' Mark Barnes condemned Paul Shanley's league leaders to a 1-0 loss at Trowbridge Road.
Bradford require eleven points to clinch the title but just four to be certain of promotion after Barnstaple Town's defeat to Chippenham Park last weekend.
Elsewhere, in-form Corsham Town notched up a 2-0 victory at Wellington.
Trevor Rawlings' side, who are now unbeaten in 12 matches, ran out comfortable winners thanks to goals from Nick Holton and Ben Moore.
But there was disappointment for Warminster Town as Jack Metcalf's goal wasn't enough to prevent a 2-1 defeat at Keynsham Town.
In the Premier Division, Melksham Town notched up a second successive victory as they won 2-1 at Buckland Athletic.
Ben Thomson put Darren Perrin's men ahead and after the hosts had levelled matters, Nick Ridout came off the bench to net the winner.

The War Of The Worlds - Part IILogic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.
After choosing three of his most worthy Myrmidons, Lord Zyron sent a message from The World Beneath to the surface, announcing his immediate attack. Not to worry though, for humanity is safe while King Solimyr is ruling. With his witty mind, he quickly called for a court scholar to bring him the files of the five bravest army leaders and most powerful ladies, from which he would secretly choose two to destroy the enemy forces. But young as he was, the distraught scholar dropped the valuable files in the mud, and much of the important information to help King Solimyr decide was lost. Can you find out the details of each army leader or lady, by the few clues left, before it's too late?
Names: Sir Christian, Sir Loynis, Sir Edric, Lady Adelaide, Lady Caitlin;
Occupations: Knight, Cleric, Wizard, Sorceress, High Court Priestess;
Experience: 24 years, 5 years, 19 years, 37 years, 48 years;
Area of Expertise: Estates, Diplomacy, Leadership, Scholarship, Air Magic;
Magical artifact: Sword of Judgment, Boots of Levitation, Ring of the Magi, Collar of Conjuring, Ambassador's Sash;
1. Lady Caitlin is not the High Court Priestess, but she is the possessor of the Boots of Levitation.
2. Sir Christian the Knight has twice as much experience as Sir Loynis the Wizard.
3. The Sorceress is the only one that can fly, and has been an expert in her area for 19 years.
4. The High Court Priestess, an expert in Scholarship for 37 years, is not the possessor of the Ring of the Magi.
5. The possessor of the Sword of Judgment has been an expert in Leadership for 48 years now.
6. The possessor of the Boots of Levitation can fly, and therefore is an expert in Air Magic.
7. Sir Edric is the possessor of the Ambassador's Sash; therefore he is an expert in diplomacy.
8. The Wizard is an expert in Estates.
Answer1. Sir Christian the Knight is the possessor of the Sword of Judgment, and has been an expert in Leadership for 48 years.
2. Sir Loynis the Wizard is the possessor of the Ring of the Magi, and has been an expert in Estates for 24 years.
3. Sir Edric the Cleric is the possessor of the Ambassador's Sash, and has been an expert in Diplomacy for 5 years.
4. Lady Adelaide the High Court Priestess is the possessor of the Collar of Conjuring, and has been an expert in Scholar for 37 years.
5. Lady Caitlin the Sorceress is the possessor of the Boots of Levitation, and has been an expert in Air Magic for 19 years.
King Solimyr is pleased with your results, and will now make his pick. The War of the Worlds has begun, and nothing can stop it now!

Arts party at SACHS
St. Albert Catholic High School once again puts on the ritz with its annual Celebrate the Arts on Thursday, June 5 in The Hawk�s Nest.
To the uninitiated, The Hawk�s Nest is the auditorium, the students� meeting place, explains music teacher Mike Wurtz.
Organizers are fashioning an intimate gallery-type exhibition with the help of three creative disciplines � art, music and food.
Two visual arts classrooms will hang assorted graphic arts including prints, sketches and paintings. While the community mingles and discusses the art, pianist Stephanie Parth, a 12-man wind ensemble and clarinet quartet will entertain with an acoustic repertoire.
In addition, students from food studies are leafing through their recipe books and whipping up their culinary skills to prepare finger food and snacks.
For Wurtz it�s essential that the community-at-large, not just parents, support the achievements of students.
�It�s important to have art enjoyed by the community. They (students) take much more ownership and have a different appreciation for what they do if it�s more than Mom and Dad. And it gives the community an idea of how we communicate in the school.�
The arts celebration runs from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. There is a $5 entry fee that goes to support school arts. SACHS is located at 33 Malmo Dr.
Edmonton Folk Music Festival tickets go on sale

Although the four-day folk fest runs Aug. 7 to 10 in Gallagher Park, tickets go on sale Saturday, June 7. Nearly 50 per cent of the passes will be sold at Telus Field. Doors open at 7 a.m. To take part in the lottery, fans must be in line by 8 a.m.
Remaining tickets will be sold through Ticketmaster and edmontonfolkfest.org. starting at 2 p.m.

The Class of 2013 is an iGeneration that grew up with touchscreens and spend about five to seven hours online daily. And they love apps.
The Wall Street Journal is following a number of Class of 2013 graduates on their post-college journey of finding work, signing leases and traveling the world. We asked them to tell us their must-have apps.
Putting aside the usual suspects — Facebook, Twitter, Evernote, Yelp, Foursquare — they had a number of helpful, lesser-known apps in the mix. Here are five:
Free. Android, iOS, Chrome
WHAT IT DOES: Collect links to read later.
People pressed for time can access the links on all devices and then read on the go. In a prior life, this app was known as Read It Later, and it competes in the same space as Readability and Instapaper. Pocket collects stories you have tagged and lets you access them later across devices. It has a minimalist and modern design, and works with more than 357 apps, including Twitter, Flipboard and Pulse.
"I can't live without Pocket," said Marc Phillips, a marketing graduate from Ithaca College. "It allows me to save interesting links and stories to the cloud so I can access them on-demand from any of my iDevices and laptop."
Free. iOS, Android, Chrome.
WHAT IT DOES: Organize and manage tasks.
Any.DO works in a similar way to WunderList and Clear but differentiates itself with support for Google tasks and speech recognition. It places tasks into sections; Today, Tomorrow, This Week and Later, to help contextualize plans. It's also responsive — if you input "Call Mike," it will suggest placing Mike's number in the task.
"I would not function without Any.do," said Natalia Quintero, a political science graduate of Columbia University. "It manages most aspects of what I need to get done on a daily to yearly basis."
Free. iPhone, website
WHAT IT DOES: IFTTT — if this, then that — connects apps.
IFTTT offers a robust menu of suggested recipes that will allow unrelated apps and services to work together. For example, you can create a recipe that automatically syncs uploaded Instagram photos to your Dropbox. Or you can have your weather app send you a text if it looks like rain. IFTTT has 67 "channels" to include in recipes, including Buzzfeed, Pocket, email, Hootsuite and YouTube.
"This automates and bridges my different apps," said Quintero.
Free. iOS 6.0+
WHAT IT DOES: Keep track of personal dreams and goals.
Whatever the goal — lose weight, learn a language, climb a mountain — Everest lets you break them into small steps, crowdsource ways to achieve those goals, and captures every moment of the journey.
"It's great for keeping track of both long- and short-term goals, " said Kristin Stevens, a political science and international affairs graduate. "Using the app, you create steps for completing your goal and can set deadlines, and reminders."
Free. iOS, Android
WHAT IT DOES: Learn languages, science and more using images.
Memrise uses the popularity of the visual meme to enhance the learning experience. Animated GIFs are visual language lessons; as a student's skill level rises, so does their virtual Memrise garden. (This garden is the language equivalent of Farmville, which grows when watered by your attention.)
"I use this on a daily basis," said Stevens. "It's very useful for keeping my language skills sharp."
What apps do you find essential? Comment here or tweet us your tops apps using the hashtag #WSJYear1. We'll compile the best tips in a blog post.
Check out more information on the Class of 2013 and see #WSJyear1 stories.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Inability to maintain an erection
At present I can always get an erection and have enjoyable intercourse for about five minutes before I lose it. This has happened occasionally when I used to wear condoms - about ten years ago when I had my first girlfriend it regularly happened although it hasn`t happened for about five years due to not wearing condoms as have had long-term girlfriends - but has never happened before when I don`t wear condoms. I have a new girlfriend who I`ve been seeing for 3 months and we stopped using condoms after one month, and suddenly in the last month, despite starting sex with a really firm erection, after about five minutes I will lose it. This is the first time this has ever happened when I haven`t been using condoms, can you suggest why it is happening? Also, if we have just had satisfactory sex and then have sex again shortly after, the problem never occurs, it only occurs the first time we have sex in the night, or if we have sex in the morning, times which when we start having sex I have a very firm erection. I am going to see a doctor next week, but wondered if you could suggest why this is happening, as I am a healthy 27 year-old who exercises regularly, doesn`t smoke and maintains a balanced diet, and don`t have an overly stressful life?
The only thing I can tell you is that you may have anxiety performance, and/or you are not too familiar to the act of love making. You think too much about the sex and sex to you is only intercourse. Why is it that you can have intercourse the second time around but loose your erection after five minutes the first time? It is because all your system works and you have been intimate with your partner longer?
I advise you mix true lovemaking with intercourse. This consists of romance, healthy talk over a glass of wine or dinner with candle light. Foreplay becomes more important and intercourse puts the icing on the cake.

Lucy's Family is Complete: Hominid Trio Offer Insight Into Human Evolution

An artist's scupting of A. afarensis, based on the earlier Lucy skeleton.
(Source: Educa Madrid)
The bones of "Big Man"
(Source: Y. Haile Selassie et al./PNAS 2010)
"Whatever we've been saying about afarensis based on Lucy was mostly wrong."
Much like the revolution of modern astronomy in the late 1400s and early 1500s dissolved the notion that the Sun revolved around the Earth, a renaissance in paleontology is dissolving virtually any doubt that remained about man's origins. Another new discovery has just been completed, the latest of several high profile publications over only the last year.
new skeleton
is a male
Australopithecus afarensis
, which has been discovered in Ethiopia's Afar region. The skeleton joins the celebrated "Lucy" skeleton, unearthed by paleoanthropologists in 1974, and a child skeleton unearthed last year.
The ancient male, an ancestor of modern man, lived approximately 3.6 million years ago in the plains of Eastern Africa, according to several dating techniques. Yohannes Haile-Selassie of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, who led the team, says the skeleton offers some major new insights into the species.
The skeleton has been nicknamed "Big Man" as it towers at 5 to 5½ feet tall over the much shorter 3½-foot-tall Lucy, who lived 3.2 million years ago. That large height deviation raises questions over which of the specimen is the norm in terms of height. The new skeleton was unearthed between 2005 and 2008 at a dig site only 48 km from where Lucy was found.
The skeleton also reveals new insights into the bone structure of the species. Big Man's 32 discovered bones reveal long legs, a narrow chest, and a inwardly curving back. All of these indicate that he walked much like a human and enjoyed a ground-based lifestyle. This is very different from the awkward gait that Lucy was thought to have. Lucy also had been thought to climb trees a great deal.
The shoulder blade of Big Man is quite different from chimpanzees or gorillas. And the ribs also appear human-like. All of these factors indicate a far different chest shape than the chimplike, funnel-shaped chest that reconstructions of the Lucy skeleton indicated.
While confusing perhaps in context with Lucy, the conclusion that ancient hominids were
chimplike is consistent with the analysis of the
Ardipithecus ramidus
that was conducted last year.
Professor Haile-Selassie states, "Whatever we've been saying about
based on Lucy was mostly wrong. The skeletal framework to enable efficient two-legged walking was established by the time her species had evolved."
Carol Ward of the University of Missouri in Columbia seems to agree with these conclusions, stating, "This beautiful
specimen confirms the unique skeletal shape of this species at a larger size than Lucy, in what appears to be a male."
While the discovery may have cleared up debate about whether Lucy was more chimplike or humanlike, the debate about gait is sure to continue. Harvard University anthropologist Daniel Lieberman states, "There's nothing special I can see on this new find that will change anyone's opinion."
Anthropologist Owen Lovejoy of Kent State University, however, believes that the discovery shows Big Man to be a good runner, which could have made the 3.6-million-year-old footprints found more than 30 years ago at Laetoli, Tanzania. Among the evidence supporting this hypothesis are Big Man's pelvis supported humanlike hamstring muscles and human-like arched feet.
The full study on the Big Man discovery is published
in the journal
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
A separate 3.3 million year old skeleton of a 3-year-old baby female
A. afarensis
was presented four years ago. Nicknamed "Selam" (the word for "peace" in several African languages), the near-complete skeleton was found in 2000 south of the Awash river by a team led by Zeresenay Alemseged of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany.
The paper on that discovery was published in a 2006 edition of
and can be found
These discoveries add to the aforementioned recent discovery of "Ardi", the
discovery of
Australopithecus sediba
, and the completion of an early
draft of the Neanderthal genome
. All of these wonderful discoveries have helped to blow away the fog of uncertainty surrounding human evolution and offered a much clearer picture of how man arrived at its current form after a slow process of evolution that took millions of years.

Actors Theatre Suspends the Rest of Season
Actors Theatre is "taking a pause" to assess and redesign its business model and to consider all options to "take control of our future." Strategies being considered include creating new and expanded revenue streams in a performance space, or spaces, that offer the company greater control.
"We are not closing. We are stepping back because we need to change the way we operate our business," said Producing Artistic Director Matthew Wiener. "Our entire board has been deeply involved in strategic discussions leading to this action and fully supports this focus on evaluating our business model while staying true to our artistic mission. Our goal is to continue producing the quality, thoughtful and entertaining theater we've become known for and to develop a more relevant connection to the community. We had hoped to finish our season at the Herberger Theater Center but recently learned that two large foundation gifts we had anticipated receiving this fiscal year will not happen."
As a result of this Board action, Actors Theatre is immediately suspending the rest of the 2012-13 season and will relinquish its position as a resident company at the Herberger Theater Center after more than 20 years. Wiener and Managing Director Erica Black will take the lead in this transition that includes exploring potential performance spaces in the Valley, both traditional and non-traditional. The company will temporarily shrink its operational footprint significantly by vacating its administrative offices, scene shop, costume shop, and production storage.
"This was not an easy decision by any means," said Board Chair Oonagh Boppart. "Given the financial challenges of the past several years with declining corporate support, the loss of grant funds we've traditionally received and the limits on our ability to generate additional revenue streams at our current performance venue, the board was unanimous in moving the company in a new direction. We are exploring new funding opportunities as well."
"One of our most important goals in this transition is to identify and pursue new revenue streams and partnerships in the community," Black said. "Conversations around leaving The Herberger started several years ago when it became clear the 20-year-old business model is no longer sustainable. In order to serve our mission best, we must diversify revenue streams in ways not currently possible. More control over our performance venue means being able to generate revenue for our own operations through concessions, box office service fees, space and event rentals, to name only a few."
Wiener said that preliminary discussions are underway with local economic redevelopment organizations about the impact on neighborhood revitalization "when theater companies reclaim, rebuild and reuse existing structures as performance venues, something happening in cities across the country. We want to be part of an economic recovery effort that positively impacts neighborhoods, not build a venue from the ground up."
Boppart emphasized the board's deep regret of the impact on current single and season ticket patrons. Actors Theatre is exploring opportunities with other local not-for-profit theater companies to honor tickets currently held for the last two shows of the season.
Herberger Theater Center management and the City of Phoenix were informed last fall that Actors Theatre might not be able to continue performing at the venue.
"The Herberger Theater Center has been a wonderful partner over the years. We have loved working there and are grateful to all the artists and audiences who helped us create such a joyful noise," Wiener said. "However, the times are changing and we must change along with them. We continue to have strong grassroots support in the community for our unique brand of contemporary theater. Again, we are not closing, and I'm confident we will be back on stage in a relatively short period of time."

50 Tailgating Recipes That Score
Mini Italian Beef Sandwiches with Pepperoncini Slaw
These little beef sandwiches make a great appetizer for a party. And you can put them together in just 20 minutes.
Mini Italian Beef Sandwiches with Pepperoncini Slaw
Light and Layered Taco Dip
Ground turkey, reduced-sodium and light ingredients, and a confetti of crisp, colorful veggies make this potluck staple more nutritious than a typical layered dip—but every bit as tasty.
Aunt Maude's Southwestern Turkey Chili
Pureed corn thickens the hearty mixture of beans, veggies and turkey. A tailgating crowd-pleaser.
Ripe Olive Cheese Ball
Perfect for parties and tailgating! Make these cheese balls up to three months ahead of time then freeze. Thaw frozen cheese balls overnight in fridge before serving.
Sunny Broccoli Salad
A Cleveland reader makes this potluck salad the day ahead and refrigerates the dressing and vegetables separately. When it's time to serve it, she tosses everything together. Bacon, sunflower kernels and raisins make a crunchy and flavorful side dish.
Pizza Burgers
Bring along extra toppers inspired by pizza-parlor classics: thinly sliced sweet peppers and onion, spinach, sautéed mushrooms, jarred banana peppers or sliced olives.
Caramel Snack Mix
Don't be surprised if this nutty, caramel-y, chocolaty snack mix disappears quickly! Good thing it only takes six ingredients to whip up.
Beer-Braised Brats
Steep your grilled brats in this onion-and-herb beer mixture for an easy way to keep them warm while tailgating. Beer-Braised Brats get a liberal dose of cranberry-pickle relish for extra color and tang.
Jack Cheese and Smoky Chipotle Fondue
Lots of Monterey Jack cheese goes into this creamy fondue, along with sour cream, chipotle peppers and bacon. Scoop up with bread or tortilla chips.
Edamame-Avocado Dip
Combine edamame and avocado with basil pesto, lemon juice and chopped tomato for this easy potluck dip.
Breakfast Burritos
Combine hash browns, sausage, bacon, eggs, cheese and chopped veggies for a hearty breakfast tortilla. Top the colorful mixture with cool sour cream and spicy salsa in this recipe inspired by RAGBRAI vendor Farm Boys.
Bloody Marys
A leafy celery stalk is the classic bloody mary garnish, but you can also use long picks with green olives and small pickles, or even a strip of crisp bacon or smoky beef jerky.
Roasted Red Pepper-Chipotle Hummus
Hummus is easier than you might think: Just throw the ingredients in the food processor. Find canned smoky chipotle peppers in the Mexican aisle of large supermarkets.
Beefy Chili Dogs
The Coney Island Lunch Room in Grand Island, Nebraska, has served its all-American chili dog since 1933. In honor of this Cornhusker State edible institution, we created this recipe for Beefy Chili Dogs. Stewing the hot dogs in the seasoned meat mixture makes them extra juicy. Top them with cheese.
Black Bean Salsa
This salsa does double duty as a tortilla dip or a meat topper. Serve with a slotted spoon over grilled pork, smoked bratwursts or sausages, grilled chicken or salmon.
Banana Nut Sandwich Cookies
Take advantage of a prepackaged muffin mix to keep the ingredient list short and the banana flavor big for these cookies. You can use a football cookie cutter or just cut in a ball-shape pattern.
Calico Bean Bake
This recipe blurs the line between baked beans and chili. It's great for feeding a crowd.
Chipotle Black-Bean Chili
This chili is great for tucking into your slow cooker in the morning, so you can come home to a warm winter dinner. Omit the meat if you'd prefer a hearty meatless main dish. If you like, add chopped avocado or shredded cheese as toppers before serving.
Cheesy Snack Mix
Grated Parmesan cheese gives extra cheesy flavor to this blend of crispy corn and rice cereals, canned shoestring potatoes, crisp breadsticks and bite-size cheese crackers.
Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip
Good food and friends are what tailgating is all about, says Debbie Pamperin of Suamico, Wisconsin. Debbie plans her Green Bay Packer tailgating experiences with this in mind. The Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip recipe, originally from one of her co-workers, has been a crowd-pleaser at her tailgate parties.
Multigrain Apple Streusel Muffins
Rise and shine! These tender gems taste so good, you'd never guess we bumped up the fiber in this fall recipe with two kinds of whole grains and traded most of the butter for applesauce and buttermilk.
Chicken Cuban Sandwiches
We traded the traditional roast pork for rotisserie chicken, but kept the signature Cuban flavors—mustard, onion and pickles.
Southwestern Potato Sausage Chowder
Vary the heat of this easy chowder by choosing sweet or hot sausage and serrano or jalapeno pepper. Cumin adds subtle Southwest character.
Tequila-Spiked Queso Fundido
Spicy poblano chile pepper and tequila pack a punch. Serve as a party dip with tortilla chips, or create upscale quesadillas with a warmed tortilla and chorizo.
Hash Brown Casserole
A crispy, savory crust of cheese, crushed cornflakes and butter tops a combination of ham, hash brown potatoes, cubed cheese, condensed soup and sour cream. A potluck favorite!
Bean-Mushroom Sloppy Joes
Canned beans supply fill-you-up protein at a fraction of the cost, fat and calories of ground beef or turkey. In our sloppy joes, we dress navy beans in mustardy tomato sauce that has all the familiar flavor of the meaty original.
Creamy Wild Rice Soup with Maple Bacon
Whip up this comforting soup in just 45 minutes. Swap out the chicken with chopped, roasted turkey to save even more prep time.
Reuben Breakfast Sandwiches
This classic sandwich stars at breakfast when rye bread is swapped for English muffins or biscuits.
Starker's Bacon and Cheese Curd Burger
Sugared bacon and melting cheese curds or string cheese make a mouthwatering filling for these behemoth burgers. The recipe comes from chef/owner John McClure of Starker's Restaurant at Country Club Plaza in Kansas City.
Chicken Cuban Sandwiches
We traded the traditional roast pork for rotisserie chicken, but kept the signature Cuban flavors—mustard, onion and pickles.
Meat and Potato Pizza
Chalk this recipe up as an occasional indulgence. It's topped with a totally mouth-watering combo of thin-sliced potatoes, bacon, sausage and a delectable garlic-rosemary butter. The recipe comes from Hidemi Walsh of Plainfield, Indiana.
Apple Cider Pulled Pork
Easy pulled pork bursts with apple flavor. The secret? Add cider into the slow cooker with the pork as well as in the barbecue sauce.
Party Hot Pot Dip
Three kinds of cheese blend with artichoke hearts and spinach for a crowd-pleasing dip. Bake in batches to keep the party well-supplied.
Dave's Pigskin Special
Assemble these hefty ham-and-cheese sandwiches at home, then grill them on-site for a warm game-day meal. The recipe is from Dave Sutton of Menomenee Falls, Wisconsin.
Chili Verde with Corn Bread Croutons
Bulgur wheat lends meaty texture, fiber and protein to soups and stews, where it can cook in the broth. In our sweet and savory chili, we match the grain with salsa verde, peppers and edamame—a weeknight meal that makes it oh-so-easy to be green.
Touchdown Turnovers
These sweet treats have a coconut-and-chocolate flavored center surrounded by flaky biscuit and topped with melted chocolate pieces.
Apple Bagel Sandwiches with Pumpkin Cream Cheese
Illinois grows 80 percent of the pumpkins processed in the United States. That's why we created Apple Bagel Sandwiches with Pumpkin Cream Cheese. They're a good option for morning tailgating events. Or try them as a meatless sandwich any time of day.

Apple Bagel Sandwiches with Pumpkin Cream Cheese
Tex-Mex Cheesy Chicken Chowder
Nina Swan-Kohler of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, loves easy-to-make dishes that travel well to football games or other events. Tex-Mex Cheesy Chicken Chowder is one of her favorite recipes. "It uses a variety of convenience foods that are stirred together in one big pot, and brings out the great flavor of all the ingredients," Nina says.
Tex-Mex Cheesy Chicken Chowder
Crimson Slaw
Dried cranberries plump up when tossed with vinaigrette in this tangy coleslaw. The recipe was a winner at the Wisconsin State Fair.
Tailgaters' Brownie Cupcakes
A surprise candy-bar center awaits those who bite into these fudgy delights. Based on a box of brownie mix, they're super-easy to bake.
Creamy Crab Rangoon Dip with Wonton Chips
The chips are easy and definitely add to the dip's appeal, but rice crackers, sugar snap peas, celery sticks and baby bok choy leaves all make good Asian-inspired dippers.
Orange Chicken Coleslaw Salad
This unusual recipe combines orange marmalade and soy sauce to make a sweet-and-salty dressing for chicken, cabbage and crunchy ramen noodles. Serve the mixture over a bed of fresh spinach for a nutrient-packed meal.
Sweet Heat Beef Stew
Cayenne and dried green chili peppers bring the heat, while beer soothes the palate. Serve with cornbread.
Spicy Chicken Wings with Blue Cheese Dressing
These succulent chicken wings might disappear as fast as you can grill them. The recipe comes from Danny Edwards Famous Kansas City BBQ, formerly Li'l Jake's Eat It and Beat It. The tiny, no-frills eatery has served weekday lunch crowds in Kansas City for more than two decades. You'll enjoy sharing the recipe with your weekend tailgating friends.
Cuban Griller
Mustard, mayo and dill pickle spice up this grilled ham, pork, salami and Swiss cheese sandwich. Our recipe gives step-by-step instructions to make this a tailgating success!
Cocoa-Cola Cake
Soft melting marshmallows blend with toasty pecans and chocolate to create a sure crowd-pleaser.
Mississippi Corn Bread Salad
Layers of corn bread, bacon and veggies ensure a flavor-packed salad that adds plenty of color to a potluck table.
Trail Mix Brownies
Trail mix ingredients such as salted peanuts, pretzel sticks, dried cranberries, raisins and chocolate pieces make a sweet-and-salty topper for brownies.
Zesty Three-Bean Salad
Combine kidney beans, garbanzo beans and frozen sweet soybeans (edamame) with red onion, cilantro and lime juice for a fresh twist on three-bean salad.
Cajun Snack Mix
Cajun seasoning is a blend of black and cayenne pepper with onion, garlic and other herbs. It adds kick to this appetizer mix of peanuts, popcorn and pretzels.
Prairie State Oatmeal Cake
Rolled oats keep this old-fashioned cake moist. You'll love the gooey coconut-walnut topping.
Big Irv Favre's Red Beans and Rice
This dish honors "Big Irv" Favre, the late father of former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre. Red beans and rice is a tradition in Mississippi, Brett's home state.

2005-2006 Sports Season Starts with Fun Run, Football Scrimmageby Brent Harris • August 27, 2005 Share:
The first events of the 2005-2006 Wabash sports season started Saturday with the annual Alumni Fun Run and Red-White Football Scrimmage.
The day started with 13 former Little Giant cross country runners returning to campus to race against the 2005 Wabash varsity cross country team. The groups completed the four-mile race, then gathered at the home of Dean of Students Tom Bambrey '68 and his wife, Roselie, for a luncheon.
Despite a delay caused by a brief thunderstorm that rolled across campus Saturday afternoon, Head Coach Chris Creighton and the rest of his staff got a chance to see the 2005 Wabash football team perform in front an enthusiastic crowd at Byron P. Hollett Little Giant Stadium in the annual Red-White scrimmage. The Little Giants ran several eight-play drives on offense and defense, in addition to several special teams situational plays.
The weekend concluded with a soccer scrimmage against Marian College Sunday at Mud Hollow Field. The Little Giants got two goals from sophomore Gary Simkus. He fired the first goal of the game into the back of the net on passes from Chris Serak and Mark Server.
The soccer team starts the official portion of the season Friday at 4 p.m. against Kalamazoo College as part of the Wabash/DePauw Soccer Classic. The cross country team will serve as hosts of the annual Wabash Hokum Karem next Saturday at 10 a.m. The football team will have a final tune-up next weekend when it travels to Wheaton, Illinois for a scrimmage against Wheaton College at 1 p.m. The Little Giants open the 2005 campaign against the Kalamazoo College Hornets Saturday, September 10 at 1 p.m. at home.

To do it to the foreground and make the character that color I use:
- Code: Select all
self.color = self.object_colors[self.grid_final[(self.counter_one, self.counter_two)]]
self.window_main.console_set_default_foreground(0, self.color)
self.window_main.console_put_char(0, self.counter_two, self.counter_one,
'{}'.format(self.grid_final[(self.counter_one, self.counter_two)]), libtcod.BKGND_NONE)
the console_put_char() sets the foreground for the character with the console_set_default_foreground() okay.
Altough that is not the full code you should get the idea, and it works; For the foreground.
I did something similar except used
- Code: Select all
self.window_main.console_set_default_background(0, self.color)
It didn't throw any errors, but didn't change any background colors at all. I am not sure how to do this without changing the entire background of the window to self.color, please help. If you need any more information feel free to ask, althought I am not the best at what you call 'elaboration'?

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVZ5MDPVHWU]YouTube - Untethered 4.2.1 JB on ipt4g[/ame]
A tweet from @MuscleNerd last night revealed a workaround he's done for an untethered jailbreak of iOS 4.2.1 on the fourth-gen iPod touch. Using saved SHSH blobs from 4.2 beta 3, the method doesn't use expose any of the known holes that are used in the current set of exploits: it's a "backup plan" to the userland method that @comex is working on.
@MuscleNerd's method can be generalized for use with all devices (including the Apple TV 2G) and is reusable for future jailbreaks. @comex's method is, he says, "more extensible" though.
No updates yet as to when this will be released, but we'll let you know as soon as we find out.

STAFF at an Accrington nursery school are celebrating after Ofsted labelled it 'outstanding' for the third time in a row.
Staff, governors, and children at Lee Royd Nursery School, in Royd Street, were all widely praised by lead inspector Elaine White, who observed seven sessions late last month.
She said: "The exceptional leadership and high-quality teaching have maintained outstanding achievement for children.
"The headteacher is committed to excellence and so is always seeking ways to further improve the work of the school.
"Adults plan a wide range of exciting, relevant activities for children. This promotes their rapid progress.
"The children's behaviour is exemplary.
"They enjoy coming to school and most attend regularly. Children show a very well developed awareness of society."
Headteacher Karen Coffey, who has been at the school for 13 years, praised her staff following the report.
She said: "It's a big team effort, and the staff always have the children's best interests at heart. We don't prepare when Ofsted comes, they see exactly how we operate on a day-to-day basis.
"We are always striving to put additional things in. In September, we have a purpose-built mud kitchen being built, and a life-size stag that will be used to encourage parents to teach their children. We never stand still."
Lee Royd Nursery School is an average-sized school, offering 55 places in the morning, and 55 in the afternoon for three to four year olds.
Inspector Elaine White awarded it the best possible inspection score of 'outstanding'.
Ofsted said: "An outstanding school is highly effective in delivering outcomes that provide exceptionally well for all its pupils' needs.
"This ensures that pupils are very well equipped for the next stage of their education, training, or employment."

Aviva Premiership: Leicester confirm signing of five internationals
Leicester Tigers have confirmed the arrival of five international players, including Gloucester fly-half Freddie Burns.
Last Updated: 21/05/14 10:34pm
England international fly-half Burns will be joined at Welford Road by Italy's first-choice hooker Leonardo Ghiraldini, Azzurri back-rower Robert Barbieri, Fiji playmaker Seremaia Bai and Tongan-born former Japan centre Christian Loamanu.
Burns has long been rumoured to be joining Tigers and director of rugby Richard Cockerill has finally confirmed the signature of the 24-year-old, who will replace Toulouse-bound Toby Flood.
"Freddie is a very good player and he has had a tough year," said Cockerill told the Leicester Mercury.
"It will take him a little while to adapt but he will benefit from our environment.
"He will be playing in a good side that is very disciplined. He will be asked to conform to what we do and how we do things and he will be better for it - as Toby Flood was after he joined us.
"Issues with players generally come from lack of leadership. He will know exactly what is required from us as a club and as coaches."
Burns will compete for the No 10 jersey with Owen Williams while Fijian veteran Bai, who kicked the winning drop-goal for Castres in last weekend's Top 14 semi-final against Montpellier, will provide back up.
Seasoned Test forwards Barbieri and Ghiraldini will add serious experience and aggression to the Leicester pack.
