OTOH, the Acura TL is like 36 or 37k on the dealer's website - and the true market value Edmunds gave was a bit higher: 38k. And it may be a nicer car .

If the Acura web site has a lower price than Edmunds, you're doing it wrong. You'll never get anything other than MSRP from the Acura site. My guess is you chose the FWD version on the Acura site and the AWD on Edmunds.

Took two days off. Back felt fine Rowing and doing Squats with just the bar. Added a little weight, fine. Added a little more weight (to about 50% of 1RM), several reps were fine then suddenly not fine. Sharp pain, barely kept from dropping the bar. Did not hurt at all Benching or doing Lat Pulldowns (both after Squat near-disaster, wanted to see extent of problem). Hurts walking, bending, even getting in and out of my car now.

So I've apparently strained my back. I guess I need to baby it for a while, but I have a few questions:

1) Can I still do exercises that don't work my back?

2) Should I be doing any sort of stretches or bodyweight exercises involving my back?

3) Do I need to wait until every last bit of discomfort is gone? Even longer?

Thanks

Don't flex or twist your lower torso if you have a low back issue - dont try to stretch those muscles. Think of your core like its a block of cement. Sit up sideways from laying down. See a professional if it doesnt improve. Depending how bad it feels, I wouldnt do much/any lifting.

Yeah, I like to think I'm right on the border of where it becomes really like the south in USA#gunz#1#racist. But it's close and I'm not always sure.

My friend gave me a scoop of this preworkout supplement called "craze." That stuff is laced with real stimulants. Banned within a year.

I was in "craze" mode for like 10 hours. Even something as simple as driving, I am wide awake using all my mirrors and focused on the road like no other. It was too much. Definitely not fake. But I am not ordering it. Too much firepower. Reminded me of blow or modafinil. Scary coming from a "supplement." My buddy just called me and he says he is high as kite and its 4 hours later. And that guy used to do tons of blow and meth but is clean now. So for him to say that, makes me realize this stuff is plain loco. Back to a little caffeine for me.

I use Craze sometimes as well, feels like amphetamines. Also sick tunnelvision.

Too bad I can't play poker when I use it. My mind feels really strange on it. Kind of uncomfortable.

One thing I learned watching a Friday the 13th marathon on IFC tonight is you don't need much cardio training to murder a dozen or so horny teenagers.

Once again proving that superhuman strength > cardio. Said strength pretty much leads to invulnerability.

yes it does i did it. Say you want "gmail" in your bottom row instead of the stock email app. Just hold "gmail" and move it to the bottom over the email spot. it should replace it. If I'm wrong, you have to delete the mail one first and then move in the gmail.

The only thing worse on android than on the iphone is the moving of icons. Android you gotta pull the double switch. iphone just everything shifts if you want to move something.

Bros. I am finally going to enter the magical world of smartphones, and I need some help. My family doesn't have a contract so I basically have to go out and find some cheap stand-alone deal myself. So this kind of eliminates newer models (since they're like hundreds of $$$ without a contract. also keep in mind i have no income...). Also, I'm on AT&T, which will probably be important information.

So can anyone help with recommendations for either slightly older phone models, maybe good sites/places to buy from, good things to look at, etc. I just have no idea how to even begin trying to find a good phone, and for cheap. Also, preferably android OS, but I'm not completely closed to iphones depending on price.

If you want to catch up to 2 years ago tech cheap, ebay a used 3G only android + pageplus plan (verizon network, 3G only, cheap plans). Google around to make sure the phone is compatible, dual or 4g or iphones are blocked.
