foods added to a different meal than the one selected
For a few weeks now I've been encountering a problem where I click "Add Food" under a meal slot and the foods are dropped in the first meal slot in my diary (one that isn't often used, Rise till 10am) instead of the meal slot I selected. I've been using the website app for 10 years so it's not a new-user thing...…

Whole Body Vibration machines (WBV) - your experiences please
I'm looking into these as a physical-therapy-type supplement to my moderate workouts (walking, hand weights, stationary bike). Have a lot of joint/skeletal/circulatory problems and feel like this might help recovery and enhance overall fitness in conjunction with what I already do. I am NOT evaluating it for weight loss or…

Android GPS apps to track walking/running - with website to review data?
I've used CardioTrainer for almost three years to track my walks, and it's all I've used. One of my favorite features is the website that allows review of the uploaded data and also download of the history as a flat file, which I use regularly with an Access database to create my own reports. Now Noom appears to be…

X-Men: Days of Future Past
Not surprising since I liked First Class so very much, but I find myself vibrating with anticipation for this one. Anyone else looking forward to it?

Stamina InMotion GPS Fitness Tracker...? MapMyFitness
This tracking device works with the MapMyFitness.com family of sites, It's on sale for a decent price at Woot today, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of information out there on it. Possibly new on the market. I'm back and forth on it, tired of lugging my phone with me to track my walks but this doesn't have mp3. In any…

Which came first, Deathlok or Deathstroke?
I've never been a comic reader but am very much enjoying the entertainment renaissance surrounding the mythologies. I follow and dig both Agents of SHIELD and Arrow. Obviously there are similar themes going on currently in each universe, with injectibles that can make armies of hard-to-kill bad guys (Extremis serum,…

The Lego Movie
Husband and I--by ourselves--went to see this and really enjoyed it. Anyone else caught it?

your Kung Fu is better than my Kung Fu
I don't know if this is verboten or not, but I thought I'd start a thread where professional geeks struggling on a project outside of our own geek skillset can ask other professional geeks with those skills for help. I would think the questions would be discussed privately once a specialist offers to come to the rescue of…

The Wolverine
So, I saw this Sunday and thought it was OK. I like the character and actor, but the trailers didn't exactly wow me. Couldn't buy the surprise villain twist. But some of the action was well done and holy cats! Hugh Jackman looked amazing. You couldn't have buttered a whole 1" square piece of cocktail rye with his total…

Your favorite vegetarian/vegan turkey alternative
I am no longer 100% veg and do eat turkey sometimes, but actually prefer alternatives to it at Thanksgiving. The readymade 'roasts' you can buy at the store are often not that great though, and some of the recipes I've seen have had very mixed comments. Anyone have a *personally tested* recipe for a centerpiece-type…

Exerpeutic 400XL Folding Recumbent Bike--heart rate?
So, I just got one of these off Amazon and I'm pretty happy with it. It's basic, inexpensive, takes up a small footprint, has a comfortable sitting position and is extremely quiet. I got it so I'd have an indoor alternative to walking when the weather is too cold/wet, or when it's too dark. Have only used it a couple of…

Winter is coming (eventually)
I didn't think skipping a week between episodes would be that big a deal, but it feels like months since the last one. Favorite line from episode 8; "and now my watch begins"

Archer?
Anyone into Archer on FX? It's completely filthy but we're addicted now. Who else has ridden into the Danger Zone?

When Cheeseburger = Walking, Will We Eat Less?
I found this online after seeing a blurb about it on the Morning Rush news a little while ago. In summary, there's been a lot of talk about making calorie counts more available on restaurant menus, but this suggests also offering exercise equivalents as well. A researcher at Texas Christian University says that showing…

Angel Food Cake recipe that uses egg white powder?
Anybody have one? I have NOW egg white powder and it's very convenient, would like more ways to use it--especially if it leverages the EWP to create more protein-dense baked goods. Thanks in advance~

Q for the ladies - foot callouses and pedicures
Ok, this is sad to say but I am new to foot callouses. My feet are scarred, asymmetrical and full of pins and screws from surgeries, and for many years I was not walking for exercise because I couldn't--not just because of the feet but low back and hip issues. I also rarely go without shoes because they need a lot of…

Sewers/crafters -- making clothing reflective?
Has anyone had success with making existing clothing reflective with sew-on tapes, paints or iron-on transfers? What do you use, and how well does it stand up to washing and drying? Thanks!

When I finally discard my original identity
and become a vigilante, one of the first objects of my wrath will be the insufferable jackhats who not only leave their cell phones on audible ring when they're in a movie theater but actually *answer the phone and talk without leaving their seat*. Went to see Lincoln tonight in a packed theater. Some charming woman came…

Chia recipes? also--to blend or not to blend?
After finding it out of stock everywhere locally and most places I shop online, I finally got ahold of a bag of chia seeds today! It was starting to look like I'd have to arm wrestle someone for them. I have read about chia and people's like/dislike of the texture. I would like to try some recipes that take advantage of…
