Turn a Balloon into a Key Cover - http://lifehacker.com/5883037...
Anika liked this
"Here's a cheap and quick way to color code your keys: Cover 'em with balloons. They're easier to get on than the rubber covers you get from the hardware store, and you have lots of color choices at your disposal. The Zakka Life blog posts the simple directions for using the top of a small water balloon as a key cover. This clever hack is pretty self-explanatory, though. The next time you find yourself at a party, be on the lookout for broken balloons on the ground, so you can reuse them as your key covers."

"What you see in the photo above is one of my greatest, infrequent pleasures in life: a cinnamon roll from an NYC coffee cart. These are standard issue cinnamon rolls -- soft, moist, caked with sugar and the size of your head; identical versions are sold at coffee carts all around the city. It's the kind of cinnamon roll that I like to eat in the privacy of my own office with the door shut, because just by nature of its gargantuan deliciousness, it invites commentary. People express shock at the size of this cinnamon roll. They suggest I cut it in half or go on about how the idea of sugar in the morning just disgusts them. After years of experience with this, I feel sadly compelled to provide a giant cinnamon roll disclaimer upon being caught with one by someone else.

RT @tv3winchester: Headline VA House Approves Gay Adoption Bill: The Virginia House of Delegates has passed legislation that would ... http://t.co/qpdURvLv
 |
I was about to say I support this as it goes along the lines of religious and personal freedom, but then I realised it means the exact opposite - assuming it means that a private adoption agency would be free to refuse a gay couple the chance to give a child a loving and supportive family.
- Slippy
Whoops, thanks, Slippy. I should have opened the link. I made the mistake of assuming that this was about a positive step. Here's the complete sentence: "The Virginia House of Delegates has passed legislation that would allow private adoption agencies to deny placements that conflict with their religious or moral beliefs, including opposition to homosexuality." It's a step backwards :(
- Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
Yeah, the headline, while not factually incorrect, is a bit misleading. Sadly, Virginia would never approve anything granting any rights to homosexuals (they actually put out a mandate requiring all state agencies to remove "sexual orientation" from their anti-discrimination policies a few years ago), so I knew it had to be a law limiting human rights.

Our alarm clock has 2 different alarms you can set on it, so when the twins (high school) are home, my wife uses an alarm set for 5 a.m. When it's just the little one (elementary school), she uses an alarm set for 6:01 (I accidentally went past 6:00, and didn't feel like changing it). On days when I commute into work, I use the 6:01 alarm. On days when I telecommute, I have my phone set to go off at 7:45. On weekends, we usually don't use an alarm.

Torn. Working on modifying a website I did about 18 months ago, and don't know whether to hack the existing theme or redo it altogether.
Bruce Lewis and Jimminy, CoG of FF liked this
The changes they've requested basically boil down to a new home page layout and new header/footer for the site (all of the content layout will remain the same). I really want to redo the theme altogether using my new parent theme to bring in a lot of options/functionality that's missing from the old theme; but I also remember how much detail/tricks/functions I had to build into their original theme for the content layout features and would not look forward to having to recreate all of that. I think I'm just going to continue to hack their existing theme, even though every fiber of my being tells me that I should be re-doing it altogether.

Depends on the preparation and the application. If I'm eating roasted chicken/turkey plain, I prefer white meat; but when it comes to soup or chicken salad, I like dark meat.

Assuming you are adult-sized, I guarantee that eating only 500 calories a day will result in weight loss. It will also be very uncomfortable, you will end up breaking down considerable amounts of muscle mass, and it can be detrimental to your overall health, but you *will* lose weight.

- Victor Ganata
Thats the Crohns Diet, you eat more but your body only absorbs 500 a day... :(
- WarLord
You have to include how many calories your body burns a day just to function normally, though. One study showed this can vary from 1000 kcal/day to 2500 kcal/day, with a mean of 1500 kcal/day.
- Victor Ganata
That's why getting your Basal metabolic rate figured out is important :). My gym offers testing for it
- Jeff (Team マクダジ )
That's why to lose and keep weight off you have to create an adaptive feedback mechanism so you can adjust your diet and exercise to what is actually happening to your body. Part of that is understanding that a calorie is not a calorie and that your body treats different foods differently.
- Todd Hoff
Yes, the type of food you eat can affect your basal metabolic rate. But my point is that if you're massively exceeding your daily energy expenditures, it doesn't really matter if you're doing it with fat, protein, or carbonydrates. Cutting calories alone can make a difference. It may not be enough if you want to lose a lot of weight, and it's easy to rebound if you don't make behavioral adjustments, but it's somewhere you can start.
- Victor Ganata
Massively over eating is a lot different than saying a calorie is a calorie.
- Todd Hoff
I agree that the calories listed on a box of whatever probably does not reflect the amount of calories that your body actually absorbs, but, yes, my point is that once you start exceeding how much glucose and fat your body can burn, how much protein it needs to maintain structural integrity, and how much glucose the liver can store, everything you eat eventually turns into fat. The final common pathway of the absorption of carbohydrates, protein, and fat is storage in adipocytes.
- Victor Ganata
The Twinkie Diet Dr. pretty much proves Victor's point. Where the calories come from is far less important than how many there are in dieting.

Yep, I have to get down to less than 800 to reliably lose weight. It makes my body feel like shit and I have no interest in it.
- Lix
So, what you're saying is, I should restrict my diet to a single large Fudge Round (300 calories) and 16 ounces of Pepsi (200 cals) per day?
- Curdy G
I'm not sure this is entirely true. For example, if I drink a gallon of water (calories=0), I will gain about seven pounds.
- I like big Botts
True, it depends on the time scale. I suppose it's more correct that the balance is reflected by mass consumed minus mass excreted. But if your kidneys are functioning, those seven pounds won't stick. And no one wants to live inside an airtight container just so we can measure how much oxygen they consume and how much carbon dioxide they breathe out.
