There are several ways to play Spot It! but the strategy is the same: be the first player to "spot" one of the eight illustrated symbols on your card to the matching symbol on another card. Sounds simple, right? But there is more to this game than meets the eye when you consider that there is only one match for the symbol you are searching for on one of the remaining 54 playing cards. And while the matching symbols are the same colour and shape, they may be different sizes. You'll be surprised at how the variety of images on these cards will challenge your eyes. And because Spot It! requires keen visual perception skills and quick reflexes, this creates a level playing field across all ages. So watch out for those younger players as they set their sights on the win. With lively action and endless fun, your family will only have eyes for Spot It!
Contains 55 round picture cards and illustrated instructions in a small, portable storage tin.

This is the new Rubik's 2x2 with tough tiles. The traditional stickers have been replaced with plastic; which mean no fading, peeling or cheating! It also has a brand new mechanism that results in a smoother, faster and more reliable Rubik's Cube.
It might look easy but don't be fooled – it is still a challenge. The 2x2 Rubik's Cube (also known as the pocket or mini cube) consists of 8 corner cubies and operates in much the same way as its bigger brother – the Rubik's Cube. As it is smaller than the traditional Rubik's cube it can be more easily slipped into a pocket or bag, making it the perfect item to take on a bus, train or plane, and an awesome loot bag gift. It also makes a great present for younger puzzle enthusiasts who might not be ready for a 3x3 Rubik's Cube.
The Rubik's 2x2 Cube has 3,674,160 permutations and only one solution!

i cant help to believe that the people who don't like this just can't figure out how it works. it's not easy to figure out. the directions are garbage. but once you do figure it out, it's actually quite a miracle. i couldn't figure out how this makes your hair into a french twist, but it does! my hair is long-ish and on the thin side. doing it thru the bottom works awesome for me. it stays well and feels comfortable. i think everyone should give it a try. they have them at the dollar store now!

After I watched a video this turned into a good hair device for me. I had a hard time understanding the package instructions.
I have medium length fine hair, and getting it to stay in any kind of up do is hard. I haven't worn this out and about yet, but we'll see soon - it seems to stay up well around the house.

I've had no luck with this. I have the spin pin which I love but no matter how much I try this, it won't hold my hair (which happens to be a couple inches past my shoulder, one length fine blonde hair). I've giving up on using this and just use a clip instead.

Speaking from the girl who has worn her hair in a ponytail since elementary school, this device is life altering. I recently switched jobs to a more professional atmosphere and out of curiosity purchased the Goody modern updo maker to give me a more sophisticated way to pull my hair back. I generally avoid buying uni-taskers, but this works so well that I love it anyway.
This is how I use it:
It takes a little practice. I've figured out about three slight variations.
$6 seems like a lot to pay for a hair tie, but the shape really is unique. The teardrop shape with the 'hooks' at the end help it grasp the hair and stay in place, and the curved design and semi-rigid material makes it more comfortable. Every other chignon pin I've seen is a flat and rigid 'U' shape, which doesn't stay as tight and isn't as comfortable.
For reference, my hair is fine and thick, and down about three inches past the collarbone. This probably wouldn't work for thin or short hair.
This thing is awesome. For those of use who don't have the skill or patience to use bobby pins- $6 is a reasonable price to pay for effortless elegance. Warning: if you get one that matches your hair, people will wonder how you keep it up!
Note: The day after I condition (with my super amazing Kirkland Shampoo/Conditioner), my super shiny hair is too slippery for this to hold. It works best on hair a day or two after.

Unfortunately this didn't work any better than the Spin Pin. I have very long, straight thick hair and it holds only for a couple of minutes. A chopstick works a lot better. I guess I'm sticking to jaw clips.

For reference I have straight medium length layered thick hair. This is one hair product that really tried my patience and time as I just couldn't understand the instructions provided nor achieve any thing that resembled an updo. I did some searching on the internet, watched YouTube videos, and practiced a lot. I finally can achieve two updos using this item. The first is the french twist inserting it from the side and second is a messy updo bun thing by inserting it from the base of a bun. I have found that either damp hair or unwashed hair (ie. the day after you wash) works the best and to only barely insert it into the middle of the bun or twist. I was failing as I was trying to put it in too close to the scalp and at the base of my gathered hair. Definitely recommend that others who are feeling frustrated check out YouTube videos for some visual tips and tricks.

First of all I have medium length hair past shoulders by about 2 inches.
I find this works easier with damp hair but it seems as if for every 20 tries only 1 time it works for me.... I'm going to keep this and hopeful when my hair is longer it will be easier to work with.
UPDATE 12/31/2010: my hair is pixie short so it may be a very very long time until i'll be able to try this again

okay, after trying the package instructions this product was not working for me, I didn't understand from the instructions how this was going to turn my hair into a french twist. Then I looked on youtube for instructions and found that if you twist up your hair and tuck the ends under, and use the product from the side instead of the bottom, it works much better for thick hair. Once I tried it this way, it was so easy, I love it!

I tried, but it's going back to the store. I read the instructions, followed the diagrams, watched the videos on YouTube. The only way this thing stays in my (longish, not too thick) hair is when I do that final 'twist' and jam it into my scalp. This can't be right, it's incredibly uncomfortable. If I loosen it even slightly, it starts to slip.
I was excited when these came out, because they seemed similar to the expensive sets one guy sells on eBay...but those are more regular 'U' shaped and supposedly have micro-grippers to hold themselves in place. I still want to try the Spin Pins, but my store is always out of them. They have plenty of these, however. I think I know why.

VT #1's Prague Page is worth it!
I am not so familiar with that part of Europe. Maybe only a small section in geography text in Japan. Here it's hard to find guidebooks on former communist-bloc Europe. So I definitely will enjoy your travel pages.
i was told that Prague is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. and it surely is. thanks for the wonderful pics. it's as if i've been to Europe!

Man sentenced in four vehicle deaths returns to Vt court
NEWPORT A driver convicted of being responsible for the 1998 deaths of four teenagers is asking a judge to reconsider the sentence imposed for his third probation violation.
Gregory Twofoot, 34, was sentenced to five to 15 years in prison on four counts of gross negligent operation of a motor vehicle, fatality resulting.
The Caledonian Record reported a judge ordered him to serve the remainder of his minimum sentence, estimated at 18 months. Now the judge has to decide whether the time frame for a sentence reconsideration has long passed.
Twofoot was driving a vehicle that overturned on Interstate 91 and landed in Cobb Brook, near Newport. Four people died; one passenger survived.
Twofoot is accused of violating conditions by taking drugs and drinking alcohol.MORE IN This Just InBURLINGTON As part of a federal effort to dismantle drug trafficking organizations in Vermont,...

I got a print server on our old printer. Vista has its own queue which presents a problem.
I want to bypass this queue and send everything straight away to the printer so the print server deals with the queue and not Vista.
Problem is when a second document is being printed from the same computer after first one. Vista is still waiting for info on finishing the first job even 5 minutes after it was REALLY finished.
How do I get it so that I can send straight to the print server and not have Vista slow things down by trying to handle the queue itself?

Do Nicotine Patches And Gum Help Smokers Quit?
Nicotine patches and gums have been helping smokers quit for decades. Right?
Even President Obama, once the Smoker in Chief, has kicked the habit with the help of nicotine replacement therapy, according to his doctor's latest report.
Well, not so fast. A study out this week from researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health and the University of Massachusetts in Boston raises questions about just how effective nicotine replacement is over the long haul.
The findings, published online in the journal Tobacco Control, found that over a 5-year period, former smokers who used nicotine-replacement products were just as likely to relapse as those who quit on their own. If true, the results stand at odds with the long history of clinical trials showing nicotine replacement does help people quit — not to mention Food and Drug Administration approvals and government recommendations that quitters use products like the patch.
So what's the real story? Shots asked Stephanie O'Malley, head of substance abuse research in the psychiatry department of Yale's medical school. She wasn't involved in the latest study. Here are highlights from our conversation, edited for length and clarity.
Q: Does this study cast doubts on the effectiveness of nicotine replacement products?
O'Malley: I think we have to be careful not to take these findings and draw conclusions that the treatments are not helpful. There have been over 100 randomized controlled trials of over 40,000 participants, and they have found that nicotine replacement therapy is effective.
Q: Why was the result of this research so different from all those other studies?
A: There is a bias in research called an indication bias. That's when the more severely ill receive a treatment, and the less ill do not.
In this study, they're comparing people that used nicotine replacement therapy to quit versus people who didn't. So in this case we would anticipate that the ones with more severe problems were the ones who chose to use nicotine replacement therapy. Sometimes an effective treatment can help more people quit in the first place, but some of those may be individuals who are more at risk of relapse. There is clearly some evidence that suggests people who choose to use nicotine replacement therapy have had more past failures, for example.
Q: Are there people or circumstances for which nicotine replacement therapies do seem to be effective as part of a long-term strategy to quit nicotine products?
A: Each of these treatments increases the likelihood that someone will be successful in quitting. But not everybody is helped. There may be some subgroups of individuals for whom a longer-term use of these nicotine replacement products is helpful. Certainly anything we can do to help people use the medications correctly would increase the effectiveness of them.
Q: Is there a benefit to using nicotine replacement therapies even if they aren't a long-term solution?
A: Not everyone who quits will "stay quit." We know that. But the odds of quitting in the first place are higher when people use these treatments. So the proportion of people who are initially successful goes up, and that's a good thing. I think in general the conclusion is that smoking-cessation treatment is one of the most cost-effective interventions that's out there in terms of saving money, quality of life and other health indicators.
Q: What would you tell someone who is thinking about using nicotine replacement therapies to help them stay off nicotine over the long term?
A: For anyone who is thinking about quitting smoking using over-the-counter products, my advice would be to take advantage of their state's quitline, which is free of charge to them. They can get help to plan their quit attempt, get advice in using these products properly and support their quit attempt to really maximize their success.
To reach a quitline, call 1-800-QUIT-NOW (800-784-8669).

PELL CITY, Ala. (AP) - The state Department of Veterans Affairs has been given the go-ahead to build a new veterans home facility in Pell City.
The Alabama State Health Planning and Development Agency announced that a Certificate of Need was issued Thursday to construct a new 254 bed facility.
The facility will have a 174 skilled nursing beds and 80 assisted living beds. The project is estimated to cost $62.4 million.
Clair County Commission Chairman Stan Batemon said the home will
provide about 300 jobs, including staff and delivery personnel, with an estimated payroll of $15 million.
Construction could begin early next year and the department hopes to have the project out for bid by January 2010. Officials estimate the construction will take 18-24 months to complete.

Good 3.9 /5 from 143 reviews
Amazing getaway. Loved every minute. Pool and beach were amazing. It was relaxing - ny 4 year old loved the playground and arcade. We will be back. Everyone we met was friendly, amaxing service
We just got back from Our HoneyMoon @ The Skytop Lodge, It was Beautiful. The service was Nice (greeters and servers were perfect) , Picturesque views and centrally located to many activities and cities. The cottage we stayed in was a very nice size with a small deck. I'd recommend this Lodge to anyone... Its got Horse back riding, golf, biking, trails to walk and many other activities.
The lodge was beautiful and all its grounds. The staff was very nice and helpful. But when we arrived they said sorry the lake is closed. When I looked up lodges I looked for lakeside to kayak. So we brought our kayaks 300 miles and couldn't kayak. If it was for that it would have been perfect or if they gave advance notice before we can.
Enjoyed stay, although due to rain we were limited in activities. We would come back again. One note however is that we felt that the menu was limited. Food was good, pricing was a bit high especially for the tap room, which, we were limited to on our 2nd night. Also think the Tap Room should offer more variety at lunch (sandwich choices).
First time here. Was very impressed with the minute got there. Front desk was professional and friendly. Bellman helped us with bags to room. Tea and cookies in afternoon was nice time to relax. Hotel staff very friendly. The indoor pool very nice.

Cascade Ripple Self-Lubricating Silicone Vibrator
Only: £74.99
No batteries, no problem
Reviewed: 13 July 2013 by truegrace
Was excited as always for Mr postman to drop this off, especially as it was something completely new.
First off, the packaging looks expensive, before even getting to the toy our excitement was gaining momentum!
Inside the box apart from the toy there is a USB charging lead, some instructions and one pack of lube.
Getting the toy out the box, I was surprised that is is quite weightly, although most of the weight comes from the silicone end it feels very well made and has a look of luxury about it.
The instructions are simple to follow and the lube is easy to insert, just a charge and you are ready to roll.
Charging is my only issue with the toy. The magnetic charger is pretty rubbish, and takes a bit of fiddling to actually get it to make a constant connection.
Once it is connected correctly and you have balanced the toy somewhere where the magnet doesn't drop off you are good to go.
The vibes this bad boy gives off are definitely more of a rumbly type than a buzz, which is amazing if that is your thing. This is the first vibe outside of a wand that feels so deep down good we just can't put it down.
The 3 speeds should suit everyone depending on your tastes, as power lovers we don't tend to use the slower speeds but it still feels dam good even on the slowest setting. The patterns also mix it up a bit, and offer a bit of variety.
The controls are easy to use, one for power levels, one for patterns and one for lube.
I must admit I was expecting something quieter. Its not really loud, especially for how powerful it is, but being rechargeable I imagined it would be quieter.
The lube release is also fairly loud, nothing that screams out in the dark, but if you live in a shared house with thin walls you may be overheard!
The vibes come right from the tip so this is ideal for clit stimulation, and having extra lube at the touch of a button is more handy than you can imagine for them 'dryer' moments.
The rippled tip really does feel nice as well and adds that extra bit of stimulation.
Internal use does feel nice, but as they ain't really our thing I can't overly comment. There is a fairly nice girth and length to play with so should please most people!
It did feel good, and again the added easy lube works really well, but it's not where this toy excels.
Cleaning is easy, the silicone 'shaft' comes off so is simple to wash under the tap or with your favourite cleaner.
Although this is a really good vibe I can't help thinking a good chunk of the price is for the lube play system. It is a really good idea, but would be far better if you could use your own choice of lube.
All in all the vibes on this are amazing, especially as it's rechargeable, we have clocked up a good hour or two use on its first charge and no signs of slowing down as yet so a happy customer here.
- Pros
- The power of the vibes, lube system us handy.
- Cons
- Charging can be a pain.
- Bottom line
- Lubeplay works well, nice deeps vibes.

Very impressed
Reviewed: 09 July 2013 by Baby_Lu
Really really classy. Packaging is quite important to me as I tend to keep my toys in their original boxes.
I really like the look of this toy. I'm definitely fussy when it comes to the look of toys. I only like pretty lol. This is definitely pretty. It's a nice bright pink and is all smooth.
Getting started:
When the toy arrived I had to open it up and pop the lube inside. This was dead simple and only took a few minutes. Then I had to charge the toy, this was one of the things I wasn't so keen on. It comes with a USB charger so had to be charged in my living room. I believe you can use a mains adapter and charge it that way but it didn't come with the toy.
Also the charger connects to the toy with magnets which seems really cool but since the strength of the magnets was quite weak it made it very fiddly to get charging and I actually got a bit annoyed with it.
Play time:
This toy has loads of different settings and some are quite strong which is great. I tried it inside and it felt really good but where the toy feels amazing is on your clit. Especially with the lube function, I mean wow. It didn't take me long at all to orgasm.
This is definitely one of the quieter toys I've used and I think with your door shut other people in the house would have no idea what your up to. The lube function has a slightly louder mechanical noise but even that isn't very loud.
All in all I'm very impressed with this toy. It's the first luxury toy I've owned and I'd say that lube function and the fact it's rechargable makes it worth the price.
- Pros
- Lube function! Looks, packaging, quietness.
- Cons
- Charger.
- Bottom line
- Great powerful toy.

Nice idea but not implemented very well
Reviewed: 06 August 2013 by Mayienne, a Straight Engaged Female
I ordered the Cascade vibrator with lube system about two weeks ago. I was really excited when I got it as I believed that the experience and handling with this device is way better than the status quo.
Well, as far as the experience is concerned, I was right. It is just more intuitive when you don't have to use your vibrator and lubricants in a separated manner. So I really enjoyed myself without any hassles and I could really let go.
What disappointed me was the product quality and the fact that this device is difficult to clean.
The low quality impression starts with packaging that is everything but special. Nonetheless, in my opinion a product from this price range should have decent packaging. My Lelo vibrator for instances is from the same price range and it is just way more sophisticated.
The device itself looks also not very sophisticated. The plastic has a cheap look and feel. Somehow it looks like a vibrator from the 90s.
The component that is absolutely not elaborated is this lube play system. There is no possibility to clean the inner parts that transport the lube through the vibrator. This means there is always lube left in the pipes and as you won't use the provided 22ml of lube in one shot, this means that depending on how often you used this device, that lube from the pipe is a couple of days, probably weeks old. So not very hygienic if you ask me.
So all in all a nice idea, but not implemented very well from the product side.
- Pros
- Lube function.
- Cons
- Hygiene, noise, quality.
- Bottom line
- A nice idea, but not implemented very well from the product side.

I've installed the plug-in and uploaded files using the option under "Media". The plugin says the file was uploaded successfully. Yet under Uploaded documents it says: "There are no uploaded minutes, agendas or newsletters."
I've checked the folder on the web host and the files are there. The plug-in just isn't seeing them I guess? The folder's permissions are 0755 and the files inside are 0644.
Can you help?

This convenient hotel only 40 minutes from Heathrow was all we expected from a hotel of this category. It was very clean, the food was good but the quality of the bar and restaurant staff was amongst the best we have ever experienced. They remembered our names and what our preferences were!
The other hotel staff were very helpful efficient and courteous.
How nice to have such a base to enjoy a short visit to London.
