I beat the game in 3 mns and i fail 2 times because of my sister who want's to talk about girl's stuff like books and cooking. I say to her : "go away". And she left. Some level are easier than other like the level 4 is easier than the level 5 and it's a good thing i guess. So the music dont irritate my ears and i love it. Graphic are nice too and i think i dont find any glitch on it. Ok Thx :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars July 18, 2012
Reading the great reviews listed about this game. I started the game, assuming that the reviews we're on point. And they did. The game is addicting at most, if not fun. The game is a good idea and if I had the ability to, I'd put the game on front page. Lets hope that mine and these people below me's dreams are granted.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – Sunday afternoon at the Lubbock's Scottish Rite Learning Center 109 students across West Texas graduated from dyslexia programs and another 14 teachers graduated to be dyslexic therapists to help students overcome the learning disability.
People with dyslexia have a hard time reading, spelling, and decoding words. One in five people are affected by dyslexia, and although there is no cure for it, the graduation at Scottish Rite Learning Center proves students CAN beat the serious disability.
Jonah Lyford, 16, is living proof. He would often have trouble understanding instructions and get frustrated while trying to do assignments. "I would do the wrong thing, and I'm like I DON'T KNOW, so that was my biggest struggle with all my dyslexia," said Jonah.
As with many dyslexic students, their frustrations and failure to not follow directions was misunderstood as not behaving. "You thought he was being disobedient by not following after you repeated your instructions three times, but you just have to be patient," said Jonah's father Conrad Lyford.
Jonah's parents realized he wasn't doing well in school, and since there was no dyslexia program at the there, they pulled him out and began teaching him at home. "We made sure he got the information but it was taking so long and we were working many, many hours every day. I knew he needed more help," said his mother Vicki Lyford.
They enrolled Jonah into the Scottish Learning Center where he was paired with a dyslexia therapist. "Some of them come and they're beat down and they have a low self esteem, and they end up leaving knowing they're smart, they're bright, and they have a future," said Scottish Rite Learning Center director and Jonah's personal dyslexia therapist Linda Stringer.
Stringer said many students with the disability would rather get into trouble than let other classmates know they're having problems. "Boys usually misbehave, while girls withdraw themselves so they're unnoticed rather than letting their peers see they can't read," said Stringer.
Programs at the Scottish Rite center help those students learn the information in different ways. Through activities that teach repetition and structure, many of the students are able to control their dyslexia. "Right now I'm going as fast as everyone else in the public schools so that really makes me happy," said Jonah.
After a little more than two years, Jonah graduated with the other 108 students Sunday. "It's amazing when you can see your child over come something like that," said Vicki holding back tears.
Programs at the Scottish Rite center are free to students, but there are tuition fees for teachers seeking degrees in dyslexia therapy. Dyslexia is a very serious learning disability and to find out more about the Scottish Rite Learning Center click here.

Get ready for a cold night! Temperatures are plunging below the freezing mark tonight. The Salvation Army has opened up it's emergency shelters for those in need of shelter.
Day 2 of Operation Deep Freeze now in effect throughout Tucson.
A total of more than a 100
people are staying in local emergency shelters tonight. It is expected to dip below freezing tonight.
city's homeless lined up to reserve their mat on this cold winter
night. Homeless veteran Kevin Rich was here last night. "Tonight
is butt nugget cold," he said.
Even a mat and blanket are a luxury for these homeless.
"I've spent many a night out in the cold, park bathrooms. It's crazy. People just come up on you, you can't rest," said Christopher Ruiz, Operation Deep Freeze client.
This story was meant to cover Operation Deep Freeze but what we saw was warm hearts and generous donations coming in from Tucson residents who care.
One woman stopped by to drop of hats she knitted for the homeless. "It's my way of giving back. I just sit there and I knit," said Diane Fields.
There were ladies who stopped by the shelter to pass out homemade snacks and socks for the homeless.
They even knew
many of the homeless by first name. "We do it
because these guys are sweet.. and very appreciative," said Ruth Reneer.
The acts of generosity surprised many of the homeless, who say they don't see much kindness in the world.
"To me it
means the world, to get food and a warm place to sleep, it means the
world," said Christopher Ruiz.
There are rules around here.
"We just
want to make sure they're clean and sober when they come in and not under the
influence," said Salvation Army Corp. Officer Major Edward Markham.
Rules that mean a peaceful night sleep for everyone.

Why Verizon and AT&T Are Solid Investments
David is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The telecom industry has undergone dramatic changes over the last few years. From the introduction of smartphones and tablets to the aggressive buildup of 4G LTE networks, competition is intense among the oligopolists. It has also brought industry-wide consolidation through various sized acquisitions. After Sprint's stock price more than doubled when many were calling it "dead," investors are right to reevaluate their outlook. Where do we stand now?
Verizon's (NYSE: VZ) Early-Mover Advantage Challenged By Sprint's (NYSE: S) Revival
What attracts me to Verizon is its early-mover advantage. It has a tremendous lead on 4G LTE and offers a strong growth curve. Analysts forecast 9% annual EPS growth over the next half decade. Free cash flow is very strong, and while it has been volatile during the past two years, it is clearly on the upward trajectory. For the twelve trailing months ending 3Q 2012, $18 billion in FCF was generated, or a terrific 15.2% yield against the market capitalization. Research has shown that companies with a FCF yield of more than 10% have substantially outperformed the S&P 500.
I am also optimistic about the company's leverage towards smartphone innovation. Verizon intends on offering a free Windows Phone model, and it has been successful with similar past strategies. But I am even more optimistic about the company's potential in emerging markets. It is looking to increase penetration in Asia, and expansion of the "Share Everything" plan--already successful in the United States--will build sustainable streams of free cash flow.
Despite Verizon's early-mover advantage, telecom is still a competitive industry. Active consolidation, in particular, has exposed Verizon's vulnerabilities. Sprint still offers the cheapest data plans, and the investment by SoftBank, for example, dramatically boosts the company's supported financial profile. This means that, should Sprint be short on cash, it could always seek assistance from SoftBank, which is now heavily invested on the well-being of the carrier. In addition, the company is just beginning to roll out 4G data plans for tablets So clearly Spring is more of a threat to Verizon than what many analysts had originally expected.
AT&T (NYSE: T): A Defensive Investment With Excellent Growth Prospects
In my view, AT&T is the most undervalued telecom stock. Though it is rated a "hold" on the Street, it has the largest economic moat and an excellent 5.4% dividend yield. Furthermore, the company is aggressive with its takeover strategy, as evidenced by the bid for T-Mobile. With too much anti-trust pressure, the company dropped the bid, but it has made strong organic progress in gaining spectrum. The company's 4G LTE network is, for example, now available in 23 more markets, and the company will provide LTE coverage to roughly half of the American population by the end of this year. Smaller-sized spectrum purchases have been made to improve the 4G network. And, like Verizon, it is also vulnerable to the $20 billion worth of investments SoftBank is making in Sprint.
As a blue chip stock, the downside is inherently limited. But the real value comes, again, from the company's aggressive growth momentum. Although iPhone sales have cut into margins, the company has showcased its strength against peers by driving higher volumes. And, moreover, research has shown that 94% of AT&T customers that buy a new iPhone stay with the firm and 65% of T-Mobile customers switch to AT&T. Management is also not afraid to make investments. It recently decided to invest $14 billion across three years in building out its wireline and wireless IP broadband networks. In addition to this investment, AT&T will be expanding its U-verse to around 8.5 million more customers.
Analysts forecast 6.7% annual EPS growth over the next 5 years. This is more than enough to keep the multiples elevated as a solid dividend distribution is made to your bank quarterly. With around half the volatility of broader indices, AT&T provides a strong income investment with better-than-recognized growth prospects.

EL PASO-- A teen is wanted on aggravated assault charges after the El Paso County Sheriff's Office said he attacked a man in far East El Paso.
The unidentified victim said he was attending a football game last Friday when 18-year-old Josue Israel Gasca approached him with an object in his hand. Gasca then swung and began hitting the victim in the face and on parts of his body numerous times.
An EPCSO deputy was called to a local hospital in response to the attack, where the victim was being treated for multiple fractures to his face and cuts on his body.
Gasca is now wanted for "aggravated assault causes serious bodily injury." EPCSO said Gasca is known to frequent far East El Paso and has several outstanding warrants.
Anyone with information is asked to call EPCSO and or Crimes Against Persons Section with any information at 915-546-2280 or 915-538-2216.
Gasca is said to be 5'09" and weighs about 150 pounds. EPCSO said he could be armed and dangerous.

February 20, 2008, John Masters Organics skincare line won 5 out of 11 categories in the organic beauty sector in recent SHAPE Latvia cosmetic award.
The 2007 SHAPE Latvia Cosmetic Award is an annual award that recognizes the best personal care products available. John Masters Organics was up against well known brands such as Avon, Lancome, Phytomer, The Body Shop, L'Oreal, Dove, Biotherm, and Make Up Forever, amongst others.
Best Hair Care
John Masters Organics Deep Scalp Follicle Treatment & Volumizer for Thinning Hair
The San Francisco Examiner makeup blogger tested John Masters Organics Deep Scalp Follicle Treatment & Volumizer and called it "magical", noting the "positive change" that gave her hair "luxurious volume and shine".
I just wanted to compliment your fabulous deep scalp follicle treatment & volumizer. I've been trying to grow out my hair for almost three years now, but because of how much damage its been through it just wouldn't budge- until I bought your product. I never write to companies or even reviews but this one definitely deserved the email and recognition. Once again, fabulous product! Thank you so much. I will most certainly be visiting your site more often.
Last night, I tried the Deep Scalp Follicle Treatment and Volumizer for the first time. I was very pleased with the results!! I have thin, fine hair and my scalp can be seen. However, after using this product and styling my hair, my scalp was not clearly visible. My hair looked fuller! This definitely gives me more confidence and less self-conscious. I'm going to continue using the Deep Scalp Follicle Treatment and Volumizer, hoping the results will continue to be positive.
I received my order, Honey & Hibiscus Reconstructing shampoo & conditioner, Deep Scalp Follicle Treatment, and the 100% Argan Oil on time and was very excited to start my new hair treatment. I've used all the products and just want to give a great big "Thank You" to John Masters for creating this wonderful haircare. I am very pleased with the results after using the products. My hair which use to be dry after my shampoos now feels very soft and moisturized. It look so shiny and silky and wasn't weighed down with greasy products. I am an African American woman, transitioning from chemically relaxed hair to natural hair. It has been almost 6 mos. since I have used chemicals in my hair and I have been having a hard time finding a product that will keep my hair moisturized and soft without loads of products weighing my hair down. The products I used really helped the task of blow drying and then flat ironing my hair. I think I will be a John Masters Organic Haircare fan for a long time. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I did not purchase the follicle treatment to "grow" hair, but it has grown hair on the part of my scalp where it had been thinning. It is amazing stuff and I have three bottles on hand.
Hello. I tried your follicle treatment for thinning hair and volumizer last summer. My edges were thin and I was getting my hair braided to give it a rest from daily maintenance. WOW, what an awesome surprise when I took my braids out. My hair was thicker, and I had grown hair around my edges where it had been very thin hair, or none. I didn't know if your products would work on ethnic AA mixed hair like mine, but I'm glad that I took the chance and tried your product. I love that the ingredients are organic too, my hair really loves it! Thank you so much. I wish it came in a larger size! I just ordered 2 more bottles, and I plan to keep using this!
I never considered using a product for my scalp to increase my overall hair health. After seeing the health of my scalp greatly improve with use of your deep scalp follicle treatment I am hooked. I never thought I could be a person that could skip a shampoo but this product has allowed me to do so. It controls the oil that my hair produces and also stopping that greasy hair smell. My hair has become incredibly shiny and I notice it to be thicker when I place it in a pony after introducing this product which I have been using for about 2 months. I recommend this product to anyone who wants shinier healthier hair and especially to those who are experiencing any scalp issues. This scalp treatment has become a hair-care must.
I have so much new hair growing thanks to the Deep Scalp Follicle Treatment! This product (along with the Rosemary Lavender Shampoo and Lavender Avocado Conditioner) has totally turned my hair around. My hair was falling out because my scalp was so dry and irritated from a "designer" shampoo I was using on my stylist's recommendation. I'm only 23 years old so obviously this put me in panic mode. But since I've been using the combination of these three products, I have noticed a significant amount of new growth, especially along my hairline, and my hair loss has also slowed significantly. Thank you again! Great products and customer service from JMO as always!
Your Deep Scalp Follicle Treatment is the only product I have ever found that works for my scalp. I have tried 15 plus concoctions, and this keeps me dandruff free as my scalp is extremely sensitive... Thanks Guys! I will do a commercial or something for a lifetime supply hahahhaa
I am 58 and recently had major surgery. I noticed ALOT of my hair was falling out so I worried. After doing some research, I found that alot of people had the same complaint and said this was *common* after major surgery. I bought your Scalp Follicle for Thinning Hair thinking, "what the heck....if it works, great, if it doesn't, it doesn't". Honestly, I only used this ONE TIME in the front around my hairline so that I could monitor and see if anything grew. It DID! LOL....now I have new hair growth that is about 3-4 inches long at the temples and front of my head. There was no way to ignore it because when the top came through, it would stick straight up, not going to the left or the right so it pretty much announced itself to everyone! I bought this for my other half. If just ONE USE did this to me, I hope it works for him. I am currently going to use this on the rest of my head. I am AMAZED at how fast and well this worked that I have decided to use this on the rest of my hair. Thank you for such a GREAT product. I couldn't be happier!
The Deep Scalp Follicle Treatment is amazing! I have thin, fine hair, and it seems to get thinner with age. A few years ago, I started to get enough hair loss to create a bald patch. I tried just about every hair growth product on the market, but nothing worked. As soon as I started to use your product, the hair loss diminished and returned to normal. I am now on my second bottle, and I have new hair growth - about an inch long! I am using the follicle treatment with your hibiscus shampoo.
I saw an add in my local co-op's circular for your Deep Scalp Follicle Treatment & Volumizer for Thinning Hair and place an order last month for the product. I have had dreadlocks in my hair for 17 years, I keep my head covered and over the years the hair on top of my head has become alarmingly thin. I try to make sure that my scalp has good circulation etc Long story short, I have tried nearly every natural/organic product on the market for thinning hair and yours worked the best! I could see results in 2 weeks. I just re-ordered some today. I really love the product and will let everyone I know about it.
I would like to say I have been using John Masters Deep Scalp Follicle Treatment for about 6 weeks as my hair was really getting thin at the roots. I am totally amazed as I now have loads of new hair growth at the roots. Plus it is all natural Brilliant!.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your deep scalp follicle treatment and volumizer !!! It's noticeably reduced my hair loss and made it appear THICKER. I'm ordering MORE!!! Can't wait to try your lavender & rosemary shampoo and lavender & avocado conditioner! Thanks so much for offering organic options!!! Your stuff really ROCKS, JMO!!! xxxxoooo.
I am here to testify that your organization has helped me in ways that are immeasurable. I am a 53 year old woman who was experiencing menopausal hair loss (top patch balding)---no matter what side I parted my hair on, the scalp could be seen. I bought 3 bottles of the Deep Follicle treatment for myself and two friends who were having the same hair issues. The first thing we all noticed is that our hair was so soft and voluminous that we couldn't quit touching it. Within 6 weeks we all noticed some type of hair regrowth. My patches are fading, my one friend's hairline is growing in, and my other friend's hair grew in so well that her whole hairstyle became different. I have since ordered 3 more bottles for myself and two other friends. As you can see I love sharing my good fortune. I had to share my thoughts with the folks who should never wonder what good deed they have done. Even if all my hair grows back I would still continue to use this wonderful product because of the way it makes my hair feel and look. Happy New Year and continue the good work.
Your Blood Orange and Vanilla body lotion is the best! I keep reordering it from an online site and I will continue to do so. Great moisturizing and I love the scent. Your hair thinning product is wonderful. I bought it for my husband ... but I noticed he would forget to use it, so I took it in my bathroom and really like the way it adds body (but no residue) to my hair! I'll try your other products because of the wonderful results I've had from the ones I have already ordered.
Hi! I use your deep scalp treatment and honey reconstructor & I love it all! It has done wonders for my scalp & hair! I'm very excited to try the rest of your products! Thank you for offering smart organic products! Best
- Jenn
First of all I would like to compliment you on your organic hair range! I've tried many brands that claimed to be organic or holistic but looking at the back of the bottle I still could see a pile of "chemical" ingredients. I started to develop, just behind my ear on my scalp, a small round patch of Eczema and then I started looking for purely organic hair products, convinced that all these "chemicals" were causing a lot of damage to the skin (I had been using organic skincare already for a long time). Eventually, after some intensive internet searching I ran into your website and your products. And now, John, I am addicted to them and I always order them from the UK website. The smell is absolutely outrageously nice and I am a great fan of your Zinc & Sage shampoo, Neroli Detangler, Lavender & Avodaco conditioner, the Hibiscus Reconstructor, and the Volumizer for Thinning hair. But best of all, using your products my eczema actually fully disappeared and has never returned since; plus no more dandruff and no more itching scalp.
I recently purchased the deep scalp follicle treatment and volumizer for thinning hair. I love it! My hair was drastically thinning in the front and I saw this product at Whole Foods and I thought I would give it a try. From the first application my hair looked and felt thicker and my hair line is growing back! Thanks so much!

Dumb Money: J.D. the Junk-Food King
Published on - November 9th, 2009 (by J.D. Roth)
It's been a long time since I shared a good self-deprecating story about my own financial foolishness. Let me remedy that today.
For the past month or so, I've been buried deep in writing my book. (I have bookhead, I tell Kris — my mind is wholly absorbed by this project.) I now spend most of every day (seven days a week) holed up in my office up the hill from the house. I walk up in the morning, work through the afternoon, and then walk home in the early evening.
Before I started writing the book, I'd take breaks to walk around the neighborhood or to walk home for lunch. I don't do that anymore. Instead, I sit in this chair all day, staring at the screen. And I've developed the habit of breaking quickly to walk a few steps to the mini-mart next door.
I grab a candy bar, a bag of chips (or, more commonly, pork rinds), and a diet soda. I'm eating like crap and I'm frittering away my nickels and dimes. This stuff isn't expensive, but it does cost me $3-$4 a day — more if I eat it for two meals.
As a result of this silly habit, my weight has ballooned and I have less money to spend on things that really matter — like comic books or steamed clams at my favorite Italian place.
"You're being dumb," Kris told me over the weekend. "You know better than this. You should be walking home to eat."
"I know," I said. "But when I have bookhead, all I want is to grab some quick snacks and get back at it."
"Well, why don't you take some good food to the office instead?" she asked. Good question.
This morning I drove the quarter mile to the office instead of walking. Actually, I drove to the grocery store first, stocked up on raisins and nuts and Clif bars and canned fish and fruit. I also bought a case of bottled water. (In another time and place, I'd groan about shelling out $3.49 for 24 bottles of stuff I could have for free, but it occurred to me that I'm spending that much on two bottles of soda alone. The bottled water is an instance of doing what works for me.)
How will this new set-up work? Time will tell. I'm a stubborn old cuss sometimes, and when I get set in my ways, they can difficult to change. For now, though, I've created a sort of barrier in front of my office door: a stack of food that's good for me and cost much less than the junk at the mini-mart next door. In fact, I'm eating an apple and a bag of almonds even as I type this.
I don't want to make it sound like I'm beating myself up over this. Yes, I've been lazy and stupid, but it's not like I've ruined my life or anything. But I do find it interesting how easy it was for me to slip into bad habits: I've probably spent $100-$150 on junk food over the past month. It's a reminder to keep a closer watch on my spending habits!
I'll bet you find yourself doing silly stuff like this, too, sometimes. Right? Right? (Please tell me it's not just me.)
This article is about Funny Money, Real-Life
JGood work, J,D, but you should stop with the bottled water. its good for you sure, but think of the environmental impact! How about a nice Brita water filter?
Whoops – just caught Mimi's comment! Sorry, Mimi – didn't mean to echo you.
It's not just you! When I went through a cancer scare that took weeks to get settled (no cancer, fortunately!), I think I ate about half my body weight in chocolate. Once my mind was clear again, the constant craving went away, too.
I started bringing a brown bag at work and my figure has improved (I felt stuffed before, even if I did not eat that much outside). Once a week I have lunch outside with my colleagues, and that's enough for my social time.
No coffee for me, it was messing with my sleep.
I'm guilty of everything on this list. The only way I can keep myself in line is to:
1) pack my lunch immediately after dinner, by making savers of leftovers, grabbing whatever fruit we have, and stuffing it into my man-bag;
2) keeping a supply of mostly-healthy easy things in my cube (instant oatmeal, green tea, raisins, etc);
3) forcing myself to stop for at least 20 minutes to sit and eat; and
4) keeping almost no cash in my wallet.
Forces me to eat what I have, which I know is better for me than anything else I'd get anyway. And on days when I plan to eat out, I savor every minute.
Though I agree with what's been written in the post and in many of the comments, it's worth noting why junk food is even a problem in the first place…
1) it's generally less expensive than the alternatives
2) it's almost always faster to obtain and eat
3) there's usually less clean up, if there's any at all, and
4) while it's politically correct to be concerned about the virtues of healthy choices, most of it tastes pretty stinking good!
If none of the above were true, none of us would struggle with junk food at all, but clearly it has some "virtues", even if we're uncomfortable admitting as much in public.
We'll struggle with junk food as long as it exists.
hahaha! Love Dan K's completely OT comment at #41.
you can't buy ANYTHING in dollars these days!!
Alternatives: boil some eggs, eat dry apricots, cook some rice and make portions in advance- add fish or leftover chicken, eat a steak once in a while: it takes less time than junk and it gives you the feeling that you are in control. Canned corn, sweet peas, asparagus are good with mayo and a thin slice of turkey.
Be inventive, it will help your writing.
Ugg, JD, you cannot eat that crap! You should try reading something that inspires you to eat better, like facts and percentage about getting really bad diseases if you eat terrible. I'm really into The Abs Diet and have been blogging about it on Squidkid. The word 'diet' sucks but just look at it as a word to stay away from these items:
-High Fructose Corn Syrup. Your body cannot respond to HFCS so it cannot break it down and stores it as fat. In fact, it does nothing to suppress your appetite and makes you EAT or DRINK MORE (hence the invention of a 32-Ouncer at 7/11).
- Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil. It's basically margarine or veggie oil in solid form. This is also Trans Fat. So bad the food companies have been after the FDA to drop it on labels but lost the battle in 2003 (must be on all labels). 7 grams is like an order of fries; daily intake of 7-10 grams increase your chances for heart disease by 50 percent.
-Saturated fats. Animal fats (ie. fatty meats and whole milk). The HARDEST fat to get ride of and goes right to the gut.
If the first items on the package have sugar, PHVO, or HFCS, throw it away! That leaves actually A LOT of really great stuff you could eat, but you have to make time to prepare it. Fail to plan and you plan to fail.
I just wanted to add a note for those who believe they're eating "healthy" by getting a salad at a fast food joint.
McDonald's Caesar salad (the one made with "Renee's Mighty Caesar" dressing) has the same amount of fat as a Big Mac burger. They both contain 29 grams of fat. Look it up.
Those who indulge in the junk guilt-free, you should know the full extent of what you're eating. If you get an Angus Burger with Bacon and Cheddar, with a large fries and large Coke, you're consuming (wait for it) an incredible 1,620 calories, and 72 grams of fat (23 of which are the artery-clogging kind: saturated and trans).
See for yourself:
As for JD, I've found that making big batches of healthy food (rice, chili, pasta, etc.) and freezing them in individual ZipLoc containers has completely cured me of being caught without lunch. With a deep freeze full of 40 ZipLoc containers full of tasty, healthy, homemade meals, there's no excuse for being too lazy to bring luch to work. I just grab a container, fill a bottle with some juice or milk, and go to work. But you really need a fridge at work, and a microwave.
One of the easiest ways to pack something simple to munch on is to grab a piece or two of fruit before you go to the office. Many types of fruit are quick, simple choices that are great for eating on the run. Obviously there are exceptions (oranges, melons, etc), but you could easily take things like apples, bananas, grapes, etc. wouldn't even require a refrigerator.
I'm guessing that J.D. is fairly well-versed on *what* to eat. As his own comment indicates, though, it's behavior we're talking about – *why* he's eating. Loneliness/need for interaction set off his bell, and having that out in the light might be all he needs for a little gentle behavior modification.
Since there's a shared kitchen in the office space, I would just suggest, label your snacks and put them in there. It will make you leave your office if you get hungry, but in a way that is more likely to result in interacting with another human! Keeping them in the office won't serve that need and you might end up eating *more* out of boredom.
You also need to factor in the health costs of these quick snacks. You also have your medical bills and a recovery time.
My dad had a stent put in his heart a couple days ago due to a blocked artery. He is not fat. He is healthy, active and only in his 50′s. It has made me re-think all the quick snacks I have had over the years.
I just stopped at the grocery store before heading into work today since I've found myself staring at the vending machine or change pile a little too often recently. Having some fruit and a paring knife also helps because the fruit has to be eaten or it goes bad at some point.
Bring a Brita filter and put it in the shared kitchen. It'll allow you to socialize a bit more with your building mates and get you out of your chair for refills. You can always take a large glass to your desk. Or bring a large Nalgene with you to work for some weight training exercise.
As an aside, when I get really busy and stressed, I tend to eat less. I have to set an appointment and remind myself I have time to eat, socialize, and go for a walk. Otherwise I'll find myself eating a stale bagel around 3pm for my lunch…
Bottled water? This is a waste of money – seriously how much does water out of the tap cost with a bit of tang or filtered if it doesnt taste so great? (sorry I love tang and we don't get it in Australia… I know sad) I have to have lots of snacks when photographing a wedding and lots of refreshments in the car. I try to have them all without packaging so nuts, sandwiches all in tuperware and fruit and refillable bottles of water – this way I can resist the temptation to stop on the way home for not-so-cheap fast food and my day running after a couple burning all those calories isn't completely ruined (if only I could say no to the wedding cake…)
Stocking up on bottled water will advance you on your goal of better health but is a disaster environmentally and isn't the cheapest answer either.
But don't freak about it – There are numerous goals that you are striving for and you can't make progress on all of them at the same time. As long as you keep working on them, you'll eventually get where you want to be.
I'm the same way! Thanks for bringing this up…if I get into a work rythm there isn't any tearing me away…especially not to make a sandwhich…gasp! no…I can go to wawa and watch them make my sandwhich…funny how we're silly and wasteful.
I've taken to batch making my lunch time meals which end up costing me the most without me realizing it if I don't make them. Sunday I make a big meal, I make a few big meals and store them away for lunches all week long. I make sure they are varied and I'll enjoy them…that way I have something to stick to during the week…works like a charm, saves me time, saves me money…now only if I could kill my diet soda addiction…
@ Freecia (#64) I am in the same boat!! I have to have something to make me eat or I'll end up feeling ill because it's been so long since I've eaten.
Nuts are awesome for a quick snack and there are so many different types that you can switch it up without getting bored. I have to echo the comment about Clif bars as well though, not only are they not made for meal replacement or non-workout snacks, their main ingredient is soy protein isolate which at the very least is questionable (talk about processed!).
Love the Brita idea and I wholly encourage you to set a timer to take 20 minutes for a walk outside, it'll seriously help avoid burnout.
JD, I understand that you are trying to get your book done, but isn't it possible to take an hour or hour and a half to eat and walk around the neighborhood? Would it really take that much time? If it does, are you sure you set reasonable goals?
Is this the only book you're ever going to write? Would it not be more sensible to set healthy standards now so that when you work on whatever your next project is, your health won't suffer?
Nuts are a fantastic snack – but be careful! They are one of the most calorie dense foods around. One cup of almonds packs 680 calories! And if you are like me, you could polish off a few cups if you are doing some mindless munching.
Get an air popcorn popper ($20 at Walmart) and use that to replace the chip munching.
I just wanted to give kudos to all of those who mentioned the waste of plastic water bottles! Very cool to have a frugal community that also thinks about the environmental impact of their purchases.
Didn't read all of the comments, so forgive me if this is a repeat, but get yourself a Klean Kanteen for bringing water from home – it's stainless steel, easy to wash, recycleable, and you can get a 40-oz one that will take care of most of your water needs. I've had a few of them for years, and while they get dented, they've yet to break, and I tend to drop them from high places!
The way I beat this habit was to make sure to never carry cash or debit card with me (as others have already mentioned.)
Fast food is my downfall. If I didn't have the money, I couldn't cave in to an urge!
I used to find myself hitting the junky snack food when I was stressed at work, which was frequently, but I also noticed that I hit the junk in the vending machine when I am procrastinating. I bring my lunch (leftovers from the night before or little lunch size meals that I make in bulk and freeze) and a $20 bill with me for emergencies. Can't stuff a $20 bill into a vending machine. I also make sure that I bring a SATISFYING healthy snack with me so that I am less tempted by the vending machine. However, about once a month, the coworkers and I do go out and it's a nice team building thing.

Auctioneer Strategy and Pricing: Evidence from an Art Auction
AbstractThis study examines the role of auctioneer's strategy used in determining pricing at art auctions. It characterizes the role of auctioneers, prices that the paintings were sold at and tests a series of hypotheses about their behaviour. This is done using pricing data from an auction of paintings. It examines the relationship between the auctioneer's estimates and realized prices. It determines whether the auctioneer and the market evaluate different attributes of different paintings differently and finally, an analysis is undertaken on the determinants of prices in the art market as suggested by hedonic regression.

SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. (AP) - Police in southern Arizona say a woman has been cited for allowing her 10-year-old daughter to drive her car, which crashed into a convenience store.
Sierra Vista police say 31-year-old Linda Morales was cited for allowing an unauthorized minor to drive and released.
Police say the girl had driven the car less than a mile Thursday when she got to the Circle K store.
The girl told police she accidentally stepped on the gas instead of the brake, which caused the car to crash into the store's entrance.
No one in the car or convenience store was injured, but police say there was extensive damage to several plate-glass windows.
Circle K maintenance crews worked through the night to repair the damage so the store could reopen at 6 a.m. Friday.

MSc in Education
Course description
The MSc in Education provides students with the opportunity to develop their knowledge of education theory, research and practice in international comparative ways, while studying in one of the UK's leading centres for educational research. The programme is distinctive because it offers exciting opportunities for students to work in a truly inter-disciplinary social science environment and to benefit from a breadth of knowledge and expertise.
This programme is aimed at practitioners working in education, training, workforce and skills development, youth work and community work, and postgraduate students who want to engage in the advanced level study of education in an international context. It offers the opportunity to examine leading edge theories and research evidence concerned with developing understanding of the social, historical, philosophical and political frameworks of education and training policies and practices, nationally and internationally.
The Cardiff Educational Research Group has a reputation for its emphasis on policy and practice across a range of educational settings, locally, nationally and internationally. Graduates from this programme will have a theoretical and substantive foundation from which they may critically evaluate contemporary education and training structures, institutions and practices, together with enhanced employability and study skills, making them attractive to a variety of employers. The MSc also provides a basis for progression to further study such as a taught Professional Doctorate (EdD) or research degree (PhD).
Course structure
This is a taught modular master's programme made up of 180 credits. A distinctive feature of the MSc in Education is that it is operated as part of a combined programme and comprises two parts. Teaching is organised in two semesters. Semester One, September to January, and Semester Two, January to May.
In the first part, there are two 30 credit common compulsory modules in (i) principles and practice of research design and methods and (ii) critical perspectives in social science. This means that students not only come into contact with experts in the field of Education, but also benefit from the knowledge and expertise of world leading researchers at the forefront of knowledge production in a range of areas. There are also three 20 credit modules, taken from a choice of education modules such as International and Comparative Skills Systems, Global Educational Alternatives, Social Contexts of Education, Debates in Educational Research, and Teaching and Learning in the 21st Century, or from modules on other master's programmes in areas such as: Equality and Diversity; Childhood and Youth Studies; Health and Healthcare; Crime, Safety and Justice; Social Policy, and Social Science Research Methods.
In the second part, students undertake a 60 credit dissertation study, guided by a personal supervisor. This is an opportunity to explore in-depth a topic arising out of study on the programme, and to apply and further develop research skills, analysis and presentation of findings.
Course aims
Graduates from this programme will be able to:
- Critically evaluate existing knowledge, scholarship and research, and appreciate competing claims and theoretical perspectives;
- Describe, understand and explain how education and training developments take place in key global regions (developed and emerging economies);
- Critically evaluate the evidence and methodologies on which, institutional, national, regional and international education and training policies and practices are based and contested;
- Utilise their knowledge and skills to assess and explain the relationships between the processes of education and training in different regions, and how they affect the outcomes of learning and life chances in these places;
- Apply their knowledge and skills and show originality in their thinking by tackling both familiar and unfamiliar problems;
- As appropriate, evaluate, synthesise and interpret data, and be able to collect, evaluate, synthesise and interpret data in the form of a project or dissertation;
- Demonstrate high level academic and personal skills applicable to their own research or scholarship, such as writing, oral presentations, problem solving and group work, and the use and application of information technologies in, for example, literature searches, research methods, and data analysis and presentation.
Career prospects
This programme is aimed at practitioners working in education, training, workforce and skills development, youth work and community work, and postgraduate students who want to engage in the advanced level study of education in an international context. It may lead to further specialist training in, for example, teaching, youth work or social work, or to direct employment in these areas, especially in administrative roles, and for those who aspire to develop leadership roles.

Investor DetailsUpdate
A Seed fund focused on investments in pre-seed and seed stage disruptive companies in the Online, Mobile, Social, and Cloud game sector primarily based in Europe. Founder-friendly. Hands-on. Immensely experienced. We've been there, seen it, done it, and we're here to help you. LVP is a venture capital seed fund with a difference - we're operating experts in the online, social, mobile and tablet games world, and we only ever invest in those sectors and we are backed by Nexon, Wargaming and Don Mattrick (CEO of Zynga).. That means we bring real experience and deep understanding. We speak the same language, share the same references, understand the same challenges - and we believe in the same vision. We know instinctively where the opportunities lie; where there are strengths to be harnessed and exposures to be covered. In fine-grain, no-hiding, straight-talking detail. We know when to bide time, when to iterate and when to go wide. And how. In short, we get games.

FULL TITLE: The Importance of Being British.
More than half of modern culture depends on what Flash one shouldn't watch.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars August 19, 2010
good animation to a great soundbite
Despite the fact that the best part of this flash is the sound clip from The Importance of Being Earnest, I found this film wildly appropriate for you, and a good entry for an otherwise overall disappointing Clock Day. The animation was good, and conveyed the hilarious conversation very well. Good work!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars August 18, 2010
Funny bickering
I got a good laugh seeing the two british clocks bicker with each other so the script was fantastic and the animation looked really good too with it's vibrant colors also the voice acting was excellent too,overall you did an excellent job on your Clock Day 2010 flash. =)
Rated 5 / 5 stars August 16, 2010
Hee hee
The muffins are in the dialog. Just excellent.

important is something it is


text: Is the rx100 fast at taking pictures? I have a canon S95 and ready to upgrade to something better but I would like a point a shoot that can take pictures quicker than the S95 with and without flash. From the time I press the button and when the pictures get taken. Cell phones drive me crazy since theres such a delay for the autofocus, always miss the picture moment.

After some time with node.js I recently decided to move to nginx + php-fpm + node.js for my future servers. Here we will be installing:
- Nginx as a fast HTTP server with reverse proxy to node.js
- php-fpm for running PHP scripts. The php-fpm (PHP FastCGI sapi) is built into the PHP core but only since 5.3.3, so we need a recent version of PHP.
- node.js for handling comet and high-concurrency/persistent connections.
- Monit is used to restart node.js in case of errors.
For all the packages other than node.js (obviously, since it's new/actively changing), you can get the most recent version without to patching/compiling anything anymore.
Start by updating your packages and uninstalling httpd if you had it installed:
yum update
yum remove httpd
Add repositories for nginx and PHP-fpm
Just add the EPEL and Remi repos:
rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm
Install nginx and PHP-fpm
yum --enablerepo=remi install php-fpm nginx
yum --enablerepo=remi install mysql mysql-server php-mysql php-common php-gd php-mbstring php-mcrypt php-xml php-gd php-bcmath
PHPunit and PHPdocumentor:
yum --enablerepo=remi install php-channel-phpunit php-pear-PhpDocumentor php-phpunit-PHPUnit
Create a test application
mkdir /var/www/
In /var/www/index.php:
Configure nginx
server {
listen 80;
server_name _;
access_log logs/host.access.log main;
root /var/www;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location ~ .php$ {
# Security: must set cgi.fixpathinfo to 0 in php.ini!
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
Default fastcgi_params
I start the php location by including /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params. This is because I want to use those as defaults, then override them individually afterwards. It is also recommended to have one root directive per server.
PHP path
I use fastcgi_split_path_info which became available in 0.7.31 to pass PATH_INFO.
Security settings
IMPORTANT: Change cgi.fix_pathinfo to 0 in php.ini to prevent a security issue which arises with the default PHP configuration when PHP incorrectly tries to guess which file you want for URLS specifying nonexistent files. Setting cgi.fix_pathinfo=0 causes PHP to only try the literal path given. Alternatively check that the file exists: if (!-f $request_filename) { return 404; }
See also: Nginx pitfalls.
Start/restart and test
service php-fpm start
service nginx restart
Test by going to your server root, it should show you your phpinfo().
Prepare to install node.js
Excellent post: http://wavded.tumblr.com/post/475957278/hosting-nodejs-apps-on-centos-5
Add a user for node.js:
groupadd -r node
useradd -r --shell /bin/bash --comment 'User for running node.js' -g node --home /var/lib/node node
I prefer using /var/lib/node rather than /home/node because this is more in line with how other server daemon users are defined (e.g. nginx, mysql). -r is for –system, –comment is for –gecos.
Install node.js
yum install gcc-c++ openssl-devel
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/ry/node/tarball/v0.3.3
tar -xzvf ry-node-v0.3.3-0-g57544ba.tar.gz
cd ry-node-v0.3.3-0-g57544bac1
make install
mkdir /var/node
Create a test application
var sys = require("sys"),
http = require("http");
http.createServer(function (request, response) {
response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
response.end("Hello Worldn");
sys.puts("Server running at 127.0.0.1:8000");
Configure nginx for node.js (subdirectory approach)
location /node {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000/;
proxy_redirect off;
Install monit
yum install monit
Create monit script
/etc/monit.d/hello_world content:
check host hello_world with address 127.0.0.1
start program = "/usr/local/bin/node /var/node/hello_world/example.js" as uid node and gid node
stop program = "/usr/bin/pkill -f 'node /var/node/hello_world/example.js'"
if failed port 8000 protocol HTTP
request /
with timeout 10 seconds
then restart
Start/restart and test
service monit start
service nginx restart
Test by going to /node on your server.
Also, run ps -Af to verify that node is running with the uid node.
The reboot test
Finally, test everything by restarting your server. A friendly reminder:
chkconfig nginx on
chkconfig monit on
chkconfig php-fpm on
chkconfig mysqld on
chkconfig –list

Madison, Wi (WSAU) The Wisconsin men's basketball team fell out of the Top-10 in both major polls, after back-to-back losses to North Carolina and Marquette. Meanwhile, the Golden Eagles are now at Number-11 in both the A-P media poll and the coaches' survey. They rose five spots in both from a week ago. That's after Marquette snapped the Badgers' 23-game home winning streak with a 61-54 victory on Saturday. Marquette improved to 7-and-0. The Badgers are now 6-and-2. They dropped five places to 14th in the A-P poll, and nine spots to Number-16 in the coaches' rankings. Wisconsin will host U-W Green Bay on Wednesday night. The Marquette men will play Washington tomorrow in the Jimmy-"V" classic in New York. U-W Green Bay rose two places to 21st in the new A-P women's basketball poll. The Phoenix are 7-and-0 on the heels of an eight-point win over Northern Iowa yesterday. Green Bay will travel to Toledo on Thursday night before taking its break for final exams. The Baylor women remain at Number-One. The Wisconsin women's basketball team will try to win two straight games for the first time in the regular season, when it hosts Saint Louis tonight. The Badgers are 3-and-5 overall. They've won two-of-their-last-three after beating Boston College at home by eight last Wednesday night at the Kohl Center. Taylor Wurtz had 19 points and six rebounds in that game, and she went 4-of-10 from three-point range. Saint Louis is 2-and-5 after falling at Murray State of Kentucky on Saturday night, 78-to-64. Courtney Webb scored 20 for the Billikens in that contest. Also tonight, the U-W Milwaukee men play at DePaul.

Inner Worlds Music Merlin's Magic Yoga & Ayurveda CD
Inner Worlds Music Merlin's Magic Yoga & Ayurveda CD is an audio CD with a 64-minute running time. Yoga and Ayurveda developed together and are therefore inseparable. They have the power to permeate your life on the physical and the spiritual level. Ayurveda relieves physical and emotional complaints and brings you into harmony with your body. Yoga opens the spiritual plane, all the way up to the highest level of self-realization. Yoga and Ayurveda music:
"I thank each of you who carry the spirit of yoga within yourself and out into the world. This is also how I have encountered yoga and carry it out into the world in my own way." — Andreas Mock
"Ayurveda works at healing and purifying the body and mind while yoga aims at taking us to Self-realization, which depends upon a purified body and mind. In this way, the foundation of yoga should be Ayurveda and the fruit of Ayurveda should be yoga." — David Frawley (one of the world's leading experts on Yoga and Ayurveda)
Merlin's Magic have become an internationally popular band. Their music is well known worldwide, from China to Australia, from South Africa to South America. The leader of Merlin's Magic is composer and producer Andreas Mock, who works along with various artists from around the world with an unmistakable style of gentle flowing melodies and meditative magic. This music enchants every ear in a temple of relaxation and healing. Played during massages, Reiki treatments, qi exercises, or simply for meditation.
