I went off Advair a couple of months ago in favor of QVar (steroid inhaler). Turns out that for some patients, Advair can actually make your asthma worse. This was the case for me and I feel much better now that I am off of it. I have lost 55+ pounds over the last 6 months and have become a...

So far I am loving it. Listening to Pandora on it as I type. Battery life has been as good or better than Apple's claims, iBooks is very nice, video streams and looks great. Has hardly been out of my hands since I got it a couple of days ago.

I picked up the Hipstamatic app a couple of weeks ago and have been having great fun with it. It simulates a plastic camera from the 80's that was made for only a brief time. It has interchangeable lenses and film stocks. Here are a few pics I have taken with it:

It really comes down to what you are interested in achieving. Wii Fit is more about flexibility and core strength whereas Wii Active is more balanced and will build more muscle tone all over. Neither of them are extremely effective as pure calorie burning aerobic exercise but of the two Wii...

I don't know if CVS is out here in Colorado at all. We are more dominated by Walgreens.

Just a little bit of mathematical reality to interject into this discussion. Here is a quote from the article the OP referred to: This means that screening women in the current way in their 40's results in a rate of 0.05% lives saved and for women in their 50's a rate of 0.08%. Seems to me...

That sounds like a big help. I will be in Chicago and Philly and haven't been to either in years. So I have no idea where I will be eating. I guess there will be a lot of salad with dressing on the side in my immediate future. :)

I have lost 30 lbs in the last 2 months on the plan combined with some light exercise (I have asthma so I am struggling to slowly regain my "wind" after 20 years of little to no exercise and smoking on and off). The one thing that concerns me is that I have to travel on business a couple of...

I think you could conceivably lose weight with this game but the amount of calories you burn per hour is pretty pitiful. I would say that at a best guess you could probably burn ~200 calories per hour if you really worked hard at it. By comparison, I burned 250 calories in just over 20 minutes...

Looks like the PS3 is going to be joining the party next month too. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20091026/wr_nm/us_sony_netflix_3 This will give you blu-ray, wireless Netflix streaming and gaming (if you are into that sort of thing). Seems like the best of all worlds to me.

I love me Lensbaby but would not necessary recommend it for macro work. I have the macro attachment but with the reduce area of focus to begin with, trying to get macros in focus is a real bear.

I have the Lowepro 2 AW which is very similar to the 170. I have been pretty happy with it as it holds plenty of gear and is comfortable enough to have on all day (I shoot a few events for the town I live in and wind up with the bag on my shoulder for the better part of 12 hours on those days)...

I just picked up a Logitech steering wheel for Gran Turismo 5. What a blast!

Given the fact that only 15 people have died during this event in 84 years, I would say that this is one of the safest ways to thrill seek. Certainly better odds than I get driving my car 80+ miles a day during my commute.

Glad I could help. I am always coming up with these half remembered things that drive me crazy. So I can totally sympathize.

Was it Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom? Not post apocalyptic, but definitely futuristic. Pretty good book actually. Even if it is not the correct one I would recommend downloading it for free. It's a quick read and well worth the time.

On our first trip in 1998 my wife had her hysterectomy The first of September and we were at WDW for Thanksgiving. She experienced no problems at all and we had a wonderful time for the 9 days that we were there. She was in he early 30s at the time and in reasonably good health so I'm sure that...

That was awesome. I am thrilled that I decided to work from home today and was able to catch the game. So Brazil moves up to number 1 (so long as they beat SA tomorrow). How far down the rankings does Spain slip? And what will the Spanish press have to say about this? The only negative in all...

I think for the chronically self-involved (as the author and her friends all seemed to be) nothing will ever be good enough. For the rest of us who have a more realistic view of life I think marriage can work for life. It is ultimately a matter of having two people committed to that idea first...

Eureka is scheduled to start back up in Early July. It is moving to Friday nights to take up Battlestar Galactica's old time slot.
