Glitzy lights, extravagant hotels, hookers, dice games…and a farm? The infamous buffets of Sin City may soon be able to advertise their food as wholesomely local. A 30-story farm is in the works for Las Vegas – an agricultural skyscraper designed to include over 100 different crops, from miniature banana trees to www.nextstagecapital.com strawberries.
Nevada officials believe the vertical farm could produce enough food for 72,000 people a year – and $25 million in agricultural products, most going to local casinos. They also expect it to be a popular tourist attraction, and believe it may help change the image of Las Vegas as a place of excess and discount online levitra waste.
I'll be a monkey's uncle if Vegas changes its image (purposely or otherwise), but the planned vertical farm will offer a testing ground for increasingly important urban agricultural methods. The $200 million project is hoped to be completed by 2010.

Review: SimCity's endless fun despite strict limitations
[Continued] Page 2
It seems as though I'll have to turn to the overall SimCity community, many of which I admit are way more versed in the technicalities of this game than I. Today, for instance, I learned the exact differences between traffic patterns and road upgrades (it's not great to have all avenues, by the way). It's minor details like that which make the process of learning the intricacies of this game rewarding. There's so much that goes into the city.
The large amount of detail is made possible by the GlassBox game engine; it powers SimCity. Under the hood of SimCity is a powerful engine that takes the simplest packets of information and composes them together to create the inner-workings of a city. Every single element in your town, from the resources to the residents, is its own packet of information that affects the greater simulation when interacting with each other. Like a real city, everything is interconnected. Every action you perform and decision you make will have an effect on another area of your city. Building an oil power plant to power your city? Well, I hope you like pollution. It's tough decisions like this that will lead you to experiment and find the best fit in your city. And it's the constant toying and tinkering with that will keep you coming back to create a new city.
I'm not entirely convinced every system is working properly, however. At tech level three with nearly all of the education hats filled, I still had factories closing due to uneducated workers. It gets to a point where you almost don't know what more you can do. There's still a few bugs in the game, which Maxis is working feverishly to fix.
Graphically, SimCity has never been this gorgeous. You're no longer playing God from high above. Now, you can get to street view and watch your Sims live their lives. You can spend hours on the streets of your city, following individual Sims or simply capturing video or screenshots of your creation. Even something as simple as watching traffic flow is fun. And yes, I've spent hours watching my city's traffic to see if I can figure out the damn congestion problem.
I've realized it will take weeks, if not months, for me to have a solid understanding of the complexities of SimCity. There's so much going on, I've just begun to scratch the surface. At the time of this writing, some features, such as global leaderboards, are still disabled. While that will seemingly add another layer of competitive complexity, it doesn't necessarily hinder the current gameplay, which, to me, has always been about the city-building simulation experience. SimCity might not have had the best launch experience, but this game is clearly a marathon worth of gameplay. Take your time, play slow, and really enjoy what Maxis has created for us, because it really is a great game when given the chance.

Active person - cannot lose weight
Active person - cannot lose weight
Whats up guys.
I am 24, 5.11" 177lbs. I took a 5 month off from muay thai because of a hand injury and I started again 2 months ago. I train 3-4 times a week. I started at 180lbs and I am stuck at 177 for 6 weeks. Its not that I am gaining muscle.. I was lifting weights on and off for the past 3 years. I haven't measured my body fat but my abs remain covered under stubborn belly fat. My goal is 154 but I started getting desperate. I am very strict with my diet and when I don't train I go to the local track to run and do free weights + squats at home. I started looking at supplements and I was thinking to get Green tea extract to help me lose weight. I don't want to do any ECA or ECY. I just found about HIIT and tried it today at the track.
Do you have any suggestions to drop 23 lbs in a reasonable time frame with or without help from supplements?
Just work out lots, and incorporate steady state cardio and also HIIT. Weight loss isn't instant by any means; just be patient and dedicated and you will make it. Some supplements will help, but aren't absolutely required. You might want to look into Alpha-burn, Slim-Xtrene or other fat burner, and perhaps a cortisol control product like Lean Xtreme etc.
What is your very strict diet?

yeah, and i've lately been pondering whether 2 separate 10 minute HIIT sessions 8-10 hours apart is more beneficial than 1 20 minute one

My diet day when I go to the gym: I eat 3 egg whites 1 reg egg with a little bit of cheese and coffee around 8:30 am. Turkey burger, lettuce/tomato on whole wheat bread around 12:30 or grilled chicken on let/tomato(no bread), a 6"(sometimes footlongs depends of my appetite) subway grilled chicken+swiss lettuce tomato on whole wheat and then go to the gym(muay thai) for 2 hours. When I come home at night I make 2 pieces of grilled chicken or turkey and vegetables.. When I don't train muay thai I go to the track to run. I just started HIIT (did it twice already).
No sodas, no candy, no alcohol no junk food.
ps: I just came home from Muay Thai and I dropped 1lb since last week. I guess its water weight because I didn't have anything to drink for 5 hours. Last night I requested a sample from Slim Extreme so I will give it a shot.

somehow I can't call a diet that "depends on my appetite" a strict diet
if you aren't measuring and weighing out every meal, its not strict

Phenadrol Log http://anabolicminds.com/forum/suppl...-hell-did.html - AMAZING fat loss results so far
I call it my "main meal" of the day because I am going to demolish my self for two hours so If I feel I need the extra boost I get the footlong. Sometimes if I dont eat well I feel dizzy during the workout so I learned my lesson to eat well for my main meal. I measure everything and I am trying to keep my calorie intake ~1500. I burn 800-900 every MT session.
Do you cycle carbs? That could be helpful as well. Find out your BF% and it will help you get a better idea on what your caloric intake should be and where your at.
Edit----> How much water and other fluids to you drink a day?
just curious - why are you against an ECA or ECY stack? The ephedrine?
I'm curious why you want to get down to 154 at 5'11. Are you wanting to drop a weight class for muay thai, or that's what your desired BF% goal is? That's little for your height. I would definitely bump your calories a bit. Currently you are only eating 4 times. If you eat 1500 cals, and burn 800-900 during MT leaves you a net of 600-700 cals to function on. If you can function on your current amount of carbs, then add in some more protein and some fat. I would throw down a shake at 1030, 1 scoop of whey and 2 TBSP of Peanut butter. That's about 300 cals, 16g of fat, 12 carbs, and 30 protein. Also, what time is your lunch (subway) and what time do you do MT? If lunch is around 1:00-1:30, then MT 2-2:30, then your meal afterward should be around 4:30-500. I would toss back another shake right after MT training, then have evening meal 2-3 hours later. Like said before, it doesn't make sense to add calories when tryinbg to cut up, but you are in so much of a deficit that your body will start to hold on to the last bit of fat. Carb cycling works, along with calorie cycling throughout the week. You could try on days you fo MT, try to get 2000-2200, then on non MT days or off days go for about 1800. The constant fluctuations in cals keeps your body burning somewhat and helps fight of stagnation when it comes to burning fat. If you have been at current calorie level and weight hasn't changed in 6 weeks, you need to shake it up a bit. Alot of competitive bodybuilders will hit a wall somewhere along contest diet after 6-7 weeks usually. The ones I have talked to said they have a big cheat meal, nothing off the deep end, but something to really shake up what has been the norm. My buddy says a large cheese pizza on fri or sat night around 6 weeks usually does the trick for him, then the next day, back on schedule. It doesn't seem logical, but it works. The body is always trying to adapt and maintain a homeostasis. So after a while of the same things, it will adapt and then make that the norm. You have to constantly stay 1 step ahead to keep making progress.
agree ^^^ - i got a buddy who hit a wall losing weight and we swore that eating 2 oreos before bed for like 3 days in a row every 3-4 weeks helped him drop that extra bf. Weird how smart the body is to stop burning cals when you starve it.
tell me more about your diet ..
Down to 174lbs! I got some advice from here. You wont believe it but this week I had a cheesecake and a mocha coffee, another day steak and fried meatballs. I just came home from another HIIT session. This is my first week of HIIT + free weights and it seems that it works. -3lbs. Next week my coach will measure my BF% so I can keep track of my BF. No more cheesecakes though!
Keep the advices flowing people

Dubuque police have identified a man who drowned in the Mississippi River on Saturday.
Officers were called to Miller Riverview Park just before 3:30 p.m. Saturday for a report of a possible drowning.
Lieutenant Scott Baxter says that when officers arrived, 54-year-old Francis E. Cheety of Dubuque had already been pulled from the river by witnesses.
Baxter says efforts to revive Cheety were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead at Finley Hospital.
No foul play is suspected. An autopsy will be performed by the State Medical Examiner.

I have searched the boards and found others with this same issue, however the threads always say "solved" despite there not being a resolution posted. When we watch ANY program On Demand and go back later (even just a few minutes later), hitting "resume play" does not work. It RESTARTS the entire program. While it's always easy (although SO annoying) to forward to where we left off, it becomes a problem when forwarding is disable by the program provider. In order to finish watching something in those instances, we have to sit there and let the show play until we reach the point where we have left off. And it is ANNOYING. How is this fixable and is anyone else experiencing the same issue?
Sorry for the frustration this is causing. We are rolling out an update to the software that will correct those problems. It will be coming out very soon, but no specific dates yet.

I am having the same issue with VOD replay. It is extremely annoying to have to sit through an entire program to get back to the place I have previously viewed. Any information on when the software update to fix this problem will be available?
This has worked for me to get a VOD to resume. Instead of selecting the video directly and pressing resume, try going to MY LIBRARY under the VOD menu and then MY RENTALS. Video should be there and every time I have done this the resume function worked. IMPORTANT - It won't if you try it from the normal selection method before going to MY LIBRARY as this resets the position flag to the beginning.
As with all unofficial "fixes" YMMV
"Instead of selecting the video directly and pressing resume, try going to MY LIBRARY under the VOD menu and then MY RENTALS. "
This actually skips forward in the show when I do it.
Would like to know if this issue is going to be resolved soon as it's a real pain to have to jump through hoops in order to resume a show. The pause feature times out fairly quickly, so even taking a short phone call makes you have to go back to the beginning of a VOD choice and (IF it allows you to) fast-forward to where you left off.
I almost always watch prime time shows on demand, rather than live and am within my first 30 days. I would like to find out how long I can expect this to be an issue. Thanks.
Actually going to My Library and resuming from "rentals" also starts videos from the beginning.

OK you wrote that in March. It's now the middle of April and "very soon" has passed. Can you tell us when this software update is expected to roll?

Sorry it doesn't work for you. As I closed my post YMMV (your mileage may vary). Something that worked for me and that I stumbled upon accidentally. I'm just another customer like you and have no connection to Verizon (other than being a long time FiOS subscriber).
As for the update - Verizon will not release any details. To them a "few weeks" can be anywhere from 3 to 52 (or at least so it seems from past performance)
Anthony, I just spoke with Mike, a technical support representative, who told me the Resume Play feature only works after pausing for up to 10 minutes. After that, the servers disconnect and the show starts over from the beginning, even though the "Resume Play" option is still listed in the menu.
This makes absolutely no sense to me because this feature used to work correctly. Mike told me it never worked that way. I'm glad that you are saying that a software update is in the works, but it is now May 2. When will it be completed, and why is a tech support basically telling me that I don't know what I'm talking about?????

Get a 3% yield with this emerging markets play
This global consumer goods giant is stocked with household brand names and expanding aggressively in emerging economies, but remains relatively under the radar.
Trouble is brewing in the Western economies again.
The U.S. economy is growing slowly at best, while the European economy is still contracting. European consumer confidence is still very low, and housing markets are worrisome. The average European is cutting back on expenditures and is saving money rather than spending it.
This means that companies relying on these markets for much or all of their revenue can do little more than cut costs and protect market share.
If you're a large company that wants to grow even larger, you need to be present in the emerging markets. The so-called BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) and many other developing economies are growing at a fast clip. They have young, dynamic populations that are working hard and growing wealthier every year.
But rather than risk your money by investing directly in these volatile economies, why not hedge yourself with exposure to developed and emerging-market economies using one investment?
This is one reason I like Anglo-Dutch food and personal-care giant Unilever (UN).
Founded in 1930, Unilever is the world's third-largest consumer goods company (after Procter & Gamble (PG) and Nestle (NSRGY)) and the world's largest maker of ice cream. Unilever has nearly 400 brands in its portfolio of foods, beverages and personal care products. It owns several billion-dollar brands, including Ben & Jerry's, Dove, Lipton and Wish-Bone.
When it comes to taking advantage of both the stability of developed markets and the growth potential of emerging markets, Unilever's management is fully aware of the opportunity.
Sales in developed markets have grown marginally in recent years, with profit margins stabilizing above 14%. In contrast, sales in emerging markets surged 11.4%. Emerging markets already count for 56% of Unilever's total sales, and at the current growth rate, Unilever will be less dependent on the stalling developed markets.
Sales in Asia, the Middle East, Turkey, Africa, Russia and Ukraine have surged by almost 10% a year since 2003 to an annual total of $37 billion. Unilever is expanding its 52% stake in Hindustan Unilever (its India-based operations) to 75% to capitalize on India's fast-growing middle class. Analysts expect Unilever to grow another 6% to 10% this year due to its strong presence in the emerging markets.
Even better, while most investors might be tempted to go with a stock like Procter & Gamble as a play on this thesis, I think Unilever is a better opportunity for investors.
For starters, it isn't as well known to U.S. investors as Procter & Gamble. That puts it under the radar -- exactly where I like my investments. I find that the less well-known an investment is, the better my chances of making market-beating gains before the crowd catches on (provided the idea is good and the company executes, of course).
In comparison, the case is clearly in Unilever's favor. Procter & Gamble's sales grew only 3% last year while Unilever's growth was 10.6%, thanks to its strong presence in the emerging markets. Another reason for preferring Unilever over Procter & Gamble is Unilever's ratio of net debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is only 1.1, which means there is enough room for capital investments and share buybacks.
Also in Unilever's favor is the aggressive growth path that management has introduced. The target is to double sales and increase its social impact while reducing the environmental footprint. Unilever has been chosen as sector leader in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for the 14th consecutive year. Unilever's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is nearly 20 (compared with P&G's 18.4), but its strong growth prospects fully justify this.
Most of Unilever's solid brands have hardly been hit during the financial crisis. Only sales in Europe declined, but that has been more than compensated for by the stormy growth in emerging markets.
One very important factor for Unilever is the cost of raw materials. Palm oil, coffee and sugar are ingredients used in many of its products. Last year, Unilever had to take a one-time charge-off of $2 billion because of higher-than-expected soft commodity prices.
This year, commodity prices have been declining. Most commodities peaked in the summer of 2011 and are still sliding, albeit slowly. Sanford Bernstein analysts estimate that Unilever's core operating profit could rise 30 basis points to 14%. But the price of sugar is coming down, and that is good news for Unilever. Of course, like all food companies, Unilever is continuously hedging the swings in raw materials -- but the trend is down, which should benefit its margins.
Unilever is not a stock you should buy for a quick scalp. It is a defensive investment that provides its shareholders with a nice dividend each year. Unilever's dividend yield is currently 3.4%, but it has grown by 30% since 2009.
Risk to consider: Rising commodity prices could hurt Unilever's profit. Slight price increases could easily be passed on to consumers but bigger movements could be costly.
Action to take: Unilever is growing fast in the emerging markets, and commodity costs are declining. This makes Unilever a great defensive stock to add to your portfolio.

Research Project - Anthropomorphism
My objective is to research into anthropomorphism.
The first anthropomorphic drawings I came across were in a comic book series entitled Black Sad. Black Sad is a detective/thriller/film noir novel written by Juan Diaz Canales and illustrated by Juanjo Guarnido. The idea that a serious novel can be carried by animals (especially a cat as the main character) is an interesting pivot point for the juxtaposition of reality and imagination. Susan Herbert realises this in her illustrations of famous artworks such as 'Mona Lisa', 'Birth of Venus' etc.
My work really parallels that of Herbert in the sense that it's a modification of something very relatable and broad/famous, (e.g. famous artworks or famous musicians). The style of personifying animals through art that is driven by popular culture seems to appeal to a variety of audiences, from artwork to music, film to novels.
Animal Farm for example, by George Orwell depicted a message of those in power, with the pigs overthrowing the farmer and taking over the farm. Eventually they anthropomorphise in an emotional sense (besides merely talking like humans) and become like humans, with their flaws, jealousy, anger, greed and corruption. The pigs (reputedly the most intelligent of farm animals) took over a dictatorship, with lesser intelligent animals filling in the ranks below, Horses, Cows and Sheep (in descending order respectively). Mirroring the real-life intellect with Orwell's conceptual character design was a clever way to allow the story to unfold easier. In my work I have chosen to draw musicians in two different animal forms, cats and dogs. This, for very specific reasons allow us to identify with the illustrations by creating a uniformity to the artists. Since the musicians I have chosen are extremely famous (to help with identification by the public) I have decided to use some of the most common animals that every person would identify with and relate to. Cats and dogs are pets to many people in western civilisation and as such are commonplace in many peoples minds, as such are the musicians, actors, and other media types that are portrayed in the press, on television, books and the internet. I am reflecting the commonality of the musicians with the high frequency in which we find ourselves interacting with these pets.
The research, in places, helped me to discover different styles of personifying animals and indeed animalising humans. Some work such as Guarnido's Black Sad moves along a pictorial timeline, with an ever-pulsing story helping to create a divergence in art style and imagery, combining both the structure of the lines and the texture/colour of the illustrations to convey a more vivid realisation of the plot. However, except the work of Herbert as already discussed, my work seems to be quite dissimilar (although fitting into the sectors of anthropomorphism and personification of animals) to much of the mainstream art. In some ways it has distracted me from my main aim and original style, by tempting me to draw more like the illustrators that I have researched alongside this project. The influences, while from a professional and well-established community, don't perhaps help me to find a uniquity but to produce familiar artwork as the work that can already be seen in the published climate.
This is why I chose to carry on my work in the style that I have been developing over the last few years. As different as it is from the work that's already established, I feel that this will benefit me in my identification and uniquity as an artist and help to make my work stand out.
I feel that this project has taken an interesting route, and although I have been interested in animals and the theme of anthropomorphism for a long time, I think that I have gained more knowledge on the subject and it has helped me through my research and the subject for my final major project has gained more depth alongside it. I have also found that anthropomorphic subjects are extremely popular in art and the media, and have been for many years so there are many artists out there that use this theme as their subject, although through my research I have not found many, if any artists that have portrayed musicians in the way that I have for this project. In another way, even though there a variety of artists that illustrate this theme in many different ways, it has been difficult to find a lot of textual information on the theme that I have chosen. Also finding any artwork or illustrators that have created work that is similar to mine; I feel like I am in a more niche market. Overall I feel I could have looked in more depth into anthropomorphism and its audience/target market, and how that could have helped me in finding my own audience for my work. Though this research project has also helped me to see that my work is more unique and that 'Anthropomorphism' is a broad subject that has been and will always be popular, as some audiences love to put animals out of context and into a fantasy world, to break away from the norm and give animals that extra personality to sympathise and empathise with them. Even though we know that animals can't talk and do not have the same thought processes as humans, we decide to give them those characteristics in films, tv, books and even as our own pets, to make them part of the family or to see them as equals. This subject will carry on being more and more popular as we shall always prefer the fantastical to the reality of life in some ways.

Those of us in the world of divedom are always looking for the hidden gems that Mr. and Mrs. Joe Average would pass by with their noses turned up. And hiding here at the Gyro Plaza Café, inside an unremarkable exterior, is food worthy of a multi-star rating. Though it's easy to pass this place up—don't. You'll miss out on some great homemade Mediterranean cooking. The gyros are the star here. But don't let that stop you from trying the things that make the Mediterranean diet such a delightful way to eat healthier. This part of the world has a long history of wrapping meat up in bread and you'll find so many tastes stuffed in a pita here: chicken shawarma, spicy beef kafta, crispy falafel, and creamy hummus. For something completely unexpected, try the Arayess, a pita stuffed with kafta meat and served with a marinara sauce. If you're not as brave, there are American burgers, including a homemade veggie burger. And the Greek fries are really something. They're topped with enough feta and a tangy Italian dressing that they're a meal within themselves. If this Mediterranean diet doesn't sound as healthy as you expected, the Gyro Plaza Café has a nice collection of salads, including Greek, tabbouleh, and vegetable-rich fattoush, as well as a more conventional salad served with bold marinated chicken on top. There's real homemade baklava (honest) for dessert, along with a big cup of Arabic coffee—mild, stealthy, and spiced with cardamom. Though this is Mediterranean fast food, you might want to take it slow. These are big flavors to savor in an unpretentious and undiscovered spot.

GSA presents drafts of border expansion
An alphabet soup of state and federal agencies was present at an open house hosted by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) last Tuesday evening at the senior center to display and explain plans and timetables for a planned expansion of customs and immigration facilities at the Peace Arch border crossing.
The evening was primarily for informal discussion and a chance to ask questions and no official presentations were made. In two weeks the GSA, as the lead agency, will convene the groups again at the senior center to officially begin the process with a legally required National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) public scoping meeting, to gather comments from the public that will be made a part of the official record.
"They'll have a court reporter here to take it all down," said Elizabeth Healy, area engineer for the Federal Highway Administration, whose acronym is FHWA to distinguish it from the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). "The GSA will record and consider every comment made," Healy said.
Pomplum of the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and
Homeland Security said that the current building is both
inadequate and unsafe. "The number of staff
people working in the port of entry (POE) building
has tripled, so it's very overcrowded," Pomplum
Most designs include lanes for outbound traffic as well as inbound, indicating that in the not too distant future people will have to pass through U.S. customs and be liable for inspection traveling both directions. "That's right," said Pomplum, "though we don't know when yet."
Mike Milne of the CBP office in Seattle said that exit inspections will become standard because of problems with money laundering from drug profits and people who take weapons and other contraband out of the country. "And there's an enforcement angle, too," he said, "because once they cross that line we lose our jurisdiction. We do have an interest in seeing that certain kinds of material do not leave the country, and that people with limited visa rights have not overstayed their time."
A GSA handout further stated that the building, designed and built during the Carter administration, is inefficient and unsafe. How the GSA will do better the next time as it expands the POE facility from its present three-acre footprint to as much as 12 acres will become clear once the design phase begins next month.
To accommodate that much expansion inevitably means dislocation for the neighborhood and re-locating exit 276 a block or so farther south on the freeway. Local businessman Dale Schrader, who owns the Subway Shop at Marine Drive and Peace Portal Way, wondered why the customs facility can't just be expanded into Peace Arch State Park, leaving the exit as is.
"They may actually have to take a small piece of the park," said Todd Carlson, a planning and operations manager for the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), as he pointed to a few square yards of park property crossed by an access driveway to a parking lot in one of the conceptual drawings. "There's another slice of landscaped property here," he said, pointing to the area across the northbound lanes east of the present facility, "that will be changed, and some people may think this is also park land, but it isn't. It belongs to us," he said, meaning the WSDOT.
Initially the GSA sought to move the Peace Arch Park west in order to be able to use part of its present location, but at preliminary meetings held in 1999 they heard very clearly that this was not acceptable since the park is already on the shoreline. "Then came 9/11 and everything changed," said Healy.
The cost of the new building and of the new interchange are both in the $20 to $30 million range. "It's the right-of-way costs that make the freeway approaches so pricey," said Healy. In 1998-9, the FHWA and WSDOT spent over $5 million on improvements to exit 276.
Since the other agencies are listed as "cooperating" on the planned environmental impact statement, they'll all continue to be a part of the planning process. Aside from the lead agency, GSA, this also includes WSDOT, FHWA and CBP.
"Make sure it also includes Y-O-U," said Blaine city manager Gary Tomsic, hoping for as much public input as possible in two weeks. Blaine city officials are anxious to make sure Blaine's already poor freeway access from the north isn't made worse in the re-development of the crossing facilities.
The time table for all this calls for a design phase to begin this December and last through July of 2006, for construction to begin in September of 2006 and be completed in three years, just in time for the winter Olympics in 2010.
The next meeting will be held in two weeks, on November 30 at 6:30 p.m. in the senior center.

The more coins we have locked away in piggy banks and sock drawers, the more the U.S. Mint needs to produce.
This post comes from Jim Wang at partner blog Bargaineering.
You all probably know my stance on the penny: I think we should kill the penny. Unfortunately, the only lawmaker willing to put some teeth in the move retired from Congress in 2007. Since then, there hasn't been a peep out of Congress on the issue, although I suspect it's because there are a lot of other, more pressing issues on the docket.
So, it's up to us to figure out a way to give the penny (and maybe even the nickel) the boot.
If Mom and Dad's estate isn't large enough to cover their debts, will the kids have to pay?
This post comes from J.D. Roth at partner blog Get Rich Slowly.
Most of us have some sort of vague idea about what happens to our assets when we die. The stuff we own gets passed on to the people we specify -- assuming we've jumped through the right hoops. But what happens to our debts when we die?
That's what Matt wants to know. He wrote recently looking for clarification:
My parents are both in their 60s, and don't have the best financial position. They have a significant amount of debt. I don't know exact amounts, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear they owe more money than they have in assets. Because their health is rather frail, I'm curious what could happen if they die and the liabilities (credit cards, mortgage, home equity line of credit) are greater than their assets (home, 401ks, life insurance). Do my sister and I get stuck with their remaining debt?
J. Money's 'Would You Rather' series helps readers focus on priorities while tickling the funny bone.
Would you rather be a poor hottie or an ugly millionaire, given the choice? Which would you pick: rich with a job you hate vs. poor with a job you love?
You get to choose when you read Budgets are Sexy's "Would You Rather?" occasional series. It's one of our favorite regular features in the personal-finance blogosphere.
These exercises may seem silly to some. We think they're fun. And they force you to think about what's important.
The latest installment from blogger J. Money (J$ for short) is:
Time for a look at your 2010 financial goals. You've still got six months to play catch-up.
When was the last time you checked your 2010 financial resolutions list? Yeah, that's what I thought. Time to revisit those plans -- or, as Gail Cunningham puts it, to get a "mid-year financial checkup."
Cunningham, a spokeswoman for the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, suggests we should re-examine our year's money goals. After all, we take vehicles to the shop for routine maintenance and take ourselves to the doc for health exams.
But what if this financial "Say 'Ahhh'" turns into a "Say what?" when you take a closer look at the bottom line?
Affordable, healthy meals need not be boring and bland. Honest.
This guest post comes from Kris at Cheap Healthy Good.
For the first 25 years of my existence, my food stood alone. Meat went unseasoned, starches sought no accompaniment, and vegetables -- hermits, all of them.
Now I've discovered the wonders of spices, sauces and assorted flavorings. I had heard they made edibles better, but discounted it as a blasphemous rumor. Y'know, like gravity.
In honor of these fine, zestful components, today's article will expound on the joy and wonder of my favorite 10. The following foods generally aren't the main focus of a dish. Instead, they're simple, easily attainable additives that will boost the quality of your spread immensely. Some cost a few cents more than generic or mass-produced items, but in most cases, a tiny little pinch goes a super-long way.
Here are 6 issues to consider to get the best price and avoid surprises in the final bill.
This post comes from partner blog The Dough Roller.
The professional moving industry is an extremely competitive business. Moving companies have to entice consumers to select them if they want to make money, and this can sometimes be done through the moving quote. What often appears like a reasonable quote from a professional moving company can turn into a final price that does not come close to what you originally budgeted.

New kind of sunburn: Some are unhappy with tanning tax that helps finance health care reform.
This post comes from Truman Lewis at partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
We've been told over and over that too much time on the tanning bed is bad for our skin. Now it's bad for our wallet as well, as the federal government's new 10% excise tax on indoor tanning services became effective July 1.
It's the first of 21 excise taxes created by Congress to help pay for the health care overhaul that was passed a few months ago. Congress calculated that it would be able to sweat about $2.7 billion out of tanning taxpayers over the next decade.
Since it's Congress we're talking about, nothing is quite as simple as it sounds.
More good news for homebuyers: Congress extends closing deadline for tax credit.
This post comes from Marilyn Lewis of MSN Money.
Mortgage interest rates have dropped again -- beneath even the 54-year record-busting lows reached a week ago, when 30-year loans fell to rates seen last in the 1950s.
According to Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey, Americans can sign up for an average 4.58% on a 30-year loan and spend an average of 0.7 points to get that rate. (A point is a fee -- usually 1% of the loan amount, as "Mortgage Professor" Jack Guttentag explains.)
Last week, the average 30-year rate was 4.69%. This time last year it was 5.32%, which seemed pretty darned low at the time.
What difference do these little fractions of a percent make?

- The place to go!AnotherPlaceDined on 9/26/2014An excellent eatery before going to the Theater. The food is excellent with great service.Special Features:
- average food good serviceMarink9Dined on 9/12/2014Pasta ordinary, way saucy not flavorful. Large portions.
- Amazing tasty handmade pasta!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/8/2014This was a random business trip choice. I was blown away. My advice, drop what you are doing and just GO.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I felt like at homeLou2dineDined on 9/5/2014Ragu was amazing, just how my mom, grandma etc..would do it. The appetizers just great, but generally all very good food. I'm Italian and I don't usually like Italian restaurants outside of my country but I changed opinion...there I found the real flavors of home. If you want to know how Italian cuisine is, go there you'll be more than happy. It's a real Italian restaurant and for the quality I think the prices are fair. Very good wines, abundant portions and friendly staff. I'll definitely go there again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WOWsdn8tvDined on 8/21/2014I am always a little leery when it comes to good Italian food and incredibly critical of decent wine lists. Operacaffe did not disappoint. This was not my first time, but it was the first time I chanced the wine list. The chicken parm was GREAT. Not too heavily sauced or breaded, just the right balance (and flavor too). Their farfalle campanola (sp?) - AMAZING. Again, not too heavily sauced, which I find to be more of an issue with white sauce plates.Special Features:
- culinary mistakeLOU27VIPDined on 8/19/2014Quick review. Our sever (who I believe was the owner ) was completely disinterested when we sat down. He did not welcome us or offer any courtesy. The busboys were nicer. He simply asked for our order and then gave us our food. We waited 20 minutes for bread and water. Food was mediocre at best. We LOVE San Diego but I definitely would skip this place. Much better culinary choices in Gaslamp and old town. We won't be back.
- This is a "foodies" place to goWinnipegkidVIPDined on 8/18/2014Everything we have ever had at Operacaffe is fabulous. It is truly the best Italian restaurant in San Diego. Their wine prices are very reasonable and have a good selection of good Italian wine. The food is simply fantastic! I have become a regular there, and largely stopped going to Little Italy.Special Features:
- sallydeltaDined on 8/13/2014What a fabulous find. Our first trip to San Diego and a great choice for our first night. The food was fresh and delicious and the service was outstanding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place to eat.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/28/2014The only recommendation is to not serve from the sidewalkSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food!FrankWDined on 7/26/2014Wasn't sure what to think, easily getting a table during Comic Con, but I think this is one of the overlooked little gems in SD. My "date" never showed, so teh staff was very patient with me taking up a table by myself for so long. Apps were great, enjoyed the bread, cold beer, and perfect pasta!Special Features:
- Italian food!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/19/2014We really enjoyed Operacafe. This is our second time in two weeks. We both had fettuccine Alfredo the first time. we both loved it so much! We could not wait to go back!!!! The noddles were so fresh, the sauce was just the right amount and tasty. The second time, We ordered two specials (seafood on black spegettiti and noddles/ portobello ) both very very good!! The service is great! The ambiance is three star. The price is affordable for great Italian food downtown. Waiting on a third time!!!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous Italian foodWinnipegkidVIPDined on 7/11/2014I have been to Operacaffe about a dozen times now. I have never been let down. The food is simply wonderful! Everything is fresh and the chef was noted in Firenze (Florence) before she and her late husband moved to San Diego. I have been in Italy many times, and eaten Italian food all over the world, and Operacaffe is as good as any. The partner and host Peter is an absolute gentleman, and always gives you straight advice about everything. I have had many out of town guests dine with me at Operacaffe, and all have given it an A+ Located on 4th in the Gaslamp district, it is a dependable jewel for a great meal.Special Features:
- Great Find!KathyVIPDined on 6/28/2014Had dinner at Operacaffe on Saturday evening and the experience was wonderful! The waitstaff was attentive, the food delicious and the ambience warm and inviting. Highly recommend this restaurant!Special Features:
- Excellent Italian cuisineSDAlanDined on 6/28/2014The restaurant stands out among the many Italian restaurants in the Gaslamp Quarter. Food preparation was outstanding and service was very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unanimous - GREAT!vvGinSDDined on 6/18/20147 of us in my party all agreed OperaCaffe is the BEST and absolutely the most (and so far only) authentic Italian food in San Diego. From the homemade bread to the homemade desserts, everything we ordered was delicious. Service is impeccable. Owner/Executive Chef, Patrizia Branchi, ensures an elegant and comfortable experience.Special Features:
- NIce Tuscan place in GaslampBillVIPDined on 6/18/2014This is a very nice Tuscan-style restaurant in the Gas-lamp district. It has a good variety of authentic dishes, good wine and good prices (for this area). It is a great place to eat prior to taking in a concert at the Balboa theater or a perfomance at the SD rep or other entertainment venue in Downtown.Special Features:
- Amazing ItalianMikkDined on 6/6/2014My husband and I celebrated our 6th anniversary here. We received excellent recommendations from our server. We were undecided on what to order because there were so many options that sounded amazing. We each ended up with both a pasta and a meat entree, as well as an appetizer and desserts. The food was so incredibly flavorful, even the basic marinara for dipping the fried rice/mozzarella balls was spectacular. I highly highly recommend dining here!Special Features:
- The following 237 reviews are from the Operacaffe reviews archive.
- Pre theatre dinnerAct3VIPDined on 5/28/2014This is a great choice for a pre theatre dinner.. It is within easy walking distance of the Balboa and Civic theatres. The food is very good with homemade pasta dishes that are very well done. (We had lobster ravioli and shrimp pasta). Great spumoni ice cream to finish up.Special Features:
- Great as alwaysFredDined on 5/24/2014My fiancee loves Opera Cafe's salmon and I always enjoy their pasta dishes.Special Features:
- HappyCamperDined on 5/21/2014Both the food, service and over-all experience was wonderful. The live spanish guitarist on Wednesday evenings is fantastic!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SD in MaySicanguVIPDined on 5/14/2014This is one of my favorite restaurants anywhere! Had a great meal with a fine bottle of wine. The staff was friendly and fun. When you visit take a moment to watch the kitchen and you will see why the food is so good - the staff obviously love making it.Special Features:
- Overall good dinnerCaGirlDined on 5/4/2014I booked this location for a business party. Overall, the food was good to excellent. The portions for appetizers were fairly small (3 pieces per appetizer) The wine was not chilled as it should have been. I also was less than impressed by the paper napkins.
- Not fine diningOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/4/2014Was expecting a fine dining establishment and this was not. The food and service were excellent but the ambience was meh. As long as you realize that when you go you'll be fine.Special Features:
- Favorite ItalianOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 4/26/2014This is my new favorite new Italian restaurant downtown, mostly due to the food. It's small inside, service is good, and the food is great. The ambience of the outdoor dining is not as nice as the restaurants on Fifth and Sixth Aves. But still cozy and enjoyable. Wines choices are limited and mediocre. But the food has been fantastic. We drive almost an hour just to get the mushroom ravioli with truffle oil. Love it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service needs tweekingOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 4/12/2014It seems they do tag teaming with the wait staff. I wasn't sure who was my server at times. It just seemed like they were in a hurry to get me fed and out the door. Other than that, the food was very good. I had the Wild Boar Osso Buco with saffron risotto. Nice wine and selection and appetizers. I do recommend it while in San Diego.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Italian Food at its BestBateswriterDined on 4/12/2014We book a table at OperaCafe each time we come into San Diego to attend a performance at the music venues nearby. Everything about it is consistent: food, ambience, service. Moreover, if we tell them we have a specific time we must leave, assuming we have allowed an hour to dine, they make sure we're out of there on time without rushing us. This restaurant reminds us of several we visited in Italy. It's that good!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- EXCELLENT ITALIAN RESTAURANTFoodieDined on 4/5/2014A true gem! Great food, ambiance and service. Just like in Italy! Must try!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pre-Operagoodfood4meDined on 4/5/2014Wonderful Italian food, some different dishes than the "usual," all served beautifully and in a lovely ambience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food not spectacularOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 3/28/2014Good food. Good service but not quite as good as the prices would lead you to expect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food. The best ItalianOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 3/23/2014Excellent food. The best Italian food in San Diego.Special Features:
- Giacamo is an attentive, fun,OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/15/2014Giacamo is an attentive, fun, delightful knowledgeable server. He took very good care of our table of (4) with patience and great recommendations of entrée selections. The porcini ravioli...to die for....and I've had a lot of porcini rav in Italy. Every guest fully enjoyed their meal and service.Special Features:
- Great Italian meal. GreatJanKopVIPDined on 3/12/2014Great Italian meal. Great location for pre-theatre dining downtown.
- Great for pre-opera diningsdladyDined on 3/11/2014We booked a table early (5pm) for a light meal before attending the opera four blocks away. The cafe was not busy at that hour; we enjoyed our Operacaffe salads and tasty foccacia bread and were finished in time to attend the pre-opera lecture at 6pm.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Italian food, everDaniDined on 3/1/2014I love this place, the food is flavored so great! I could eat there once a week and never get tired of it!Special Features:
- Always a favoriteOutOftenDined on 2/18/2014We eat at Operacaffe before the opera, before events at the Balboa Theatre, and when we have out of town friends in town. It is reliably good and very close to many places downtown.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 2nd time there, won't be the lastsdrobDined on 2/14/2014Took the wife for Valentine's Day to Operacaffe because she enjoyed it so much the first time we went. We had reservations and arrived a few minutes early but were seated right away. Took awhile for the server to come to our table, but it was a busy night so not an issue. We ordered drinks and appetizer which came out quickly and my wife enjoyed a lobster pasta dish while I had the chicken parm. Everything was delicious and the portions were just the right size.. no room for dessert. Waiter was friendly and attentive and the bill and checkout was handled without incident. Would probably come here everytime I go to see a show at the Balboa Theater.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner for 6OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 1/31/2014Chose because we are from Rome and like Florentine cooking and web sight spoke of owners being from there. But found service lacking mostly. No bread after 3 requests, then as soon as pasta arrived they came and took basket of bread? Are they counting the pieces? Had to ask server to bring it back. Plus too much salt in all our pasta's. My husband had to send his back, has diabetes. Also too quik to take plates away. If you stop eating or put your fork down someone is there to take your plate. My nephew turned them away 4 times. Just not a relaxing a dinner as we had hoped.
- Almost PerfectBalboafanDined on 1/26/2014This was not my first time at Operacaffe and certainly not my last. I think that the food is consistently delicious and the server's recommendations for my appetizer and entree were spot on. My only disappointment was that the check came to the table without first asking about my interest in coffee or dessert! I did want coffee which was then served.Special Features:
- High-quality Italian comfort foodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 12/16/2013Homey environment, decent and well-priced wine list, ample but not overwhelming menu, and the food is good. Not a chain, not four-continent fusion, just good food. Not our first time there - we came back for a reason.I would recommend this to a friend.
