Romney poll app reportedly glitchy
A much-touted mobile app used by Romney campaign poll watchers to track voters faced hiccups across the country Tuesday that left one prominent conservative Romney critic declaring it on Twitter "nothing short of a failure."
The system, known as the ORCA Project, was intended to give the Republican challenger's team real-time information so campaign workers could call, text or visit people who hadn't yet voted in attempts to corral them before polls closed.
Story Continued Below
Yet dozens of Romney poll workers across the country took to Twitter throughout the day to gripe that they were unable to log in, lost data they had inputted or found it moving slower than they needed to keep up with poll traffic.
Jeffrey Cook, a Romney poll worker from Fort Dodge, Iowa, gave up after eight hours of being unable to log in and tried to provide his data over the phone after the campaign sent out information about a telephone helpline.
"The helpline said the system was unresponsive because of high volume," Cook wrote to POLITICO. "Well no duh, genius. Didn't you know how many people would be using the system? Ridiculous. Nice try."
GOP and Romney officials denied any problems but refused to directly answer whether there had been any disruptions.
"ORCA is running. We're getting data here in real time. The reports were false," Republican National Committee spokesman Tim Miller said. "It's been running all day."
GOP activist Ali Akbar, president of an organization for conservative bloggers, disputed that and called the system "nothing short of a failure." He said he was enthusiastic about ORCA when the Romney campaign briefed him about the system Monday night.
Akbar and others noted the campaign provided a list of phone numbers in pivotal states for poll workers having problems with ORCA to call to report the information they couldn't log in to input. That step would imply an expectation that the system wouldn't be flawless.
"This looks like hundreds and hundreds of people," said Akbar, whose popular Twitter handle @ali became a central repository for ORCA complaints. "Something's going wrong. More people are experiencing problems than are saying it's working."

Halloween is just a couple of days away, so we here at Charming Chick want to share a few quick tips to ensure that trick-or-treating is fun and safe for all.
Halloween Safety Tips
~ Halloween costumes should fit properly.
~ Children should be able to see well through their masks; cut eye holes larger if needed.
~ Make sure that costumes are not dragging on the floor or present a risk for tripping.
~ If you are trick-or-treating in a cold climate, layer heavier clothing under the halloween costume to keep warm.
~ Use hypoallergenic make-up to help prevent an allergic reaction.
~ Put reflective tape on the costume so the trick-or-treaters can be seen by those driving in cars.
Trick-or-Treating Safety Tips
~ Children should always be accompanied by an adult while trick-or-treating on Halloween night.
~ Bring a flashlight and glow sticks so you can see and be seen in the dark. Be sure to shine the flashlight on the sidewalk to prevent tripping over objects.
~ Leave your pets at home. It might seem like a good idea to bring the family dog along while trick-or-treating but it really isn't. Dogs and other animals don't understand masks and can get spooked. It's unsafe for them and for others because you never know how they will react if they are fearful or feel threatened.
~ Use sidewalks. This is the best practice and will keep you and your little ghosts and goblins much safer.
~ Only trick-or-treat on well-lit streets. Darker streets make it much harder for cars to spot you and the most important thing to do is to ensure that everyone can see you clearly.
~ This Halloween go in a group. The larger the group you go with, the more visible you are to cars. Plus, it's really fun to go with other friends and family.
~ ONLY go to houses who have their porch light on.
At Home
~ As we mentioned before, keep pets at home but you'll also want to make sure that they are inside and safe during Halloween. Black cats are said to be especially vulnerable so keep them indoors (along with all your pets).
~ If you are handing out candy, keep your porch light on
~ When you return home from trick-or-treating look over the candy carefully. Thow out anything that looks tampered with or is homemade by someone you don't know.
Have a very Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar spoke for all of us when he told ESPN of his reaction to learning he has cancer.
"It was scary," he said. "That's the only word you can use when you hear that that word applies to you."
Abdul-Jabbar is no wuss. He's a tough guy and a martial arts devotee who knows about facing down whatever life throws at you without flinching. So it shouldn't be surprising that he greeted the news with courage.
Nor is it surprising that most of us received the news with shock and concern. We care about this man who performed with such greatness for so many years and has lived with such dignity. We don't want anyone to get cancer, and we particularly don't want our heroes to get it.
And so, for a brief moment, we were forcibly made aware again of this heartless disease that doesn't care if you have more courage than Leonidas or less courage than a neurotic bunny. For a moment, we realized that if this disease can attack one of the greatest athletes who ever lived, it can attack us.
Don't be lulled by what you read next, that Abdul-Jabbar's brand of cancer — chronic myeloid leukemia — is one that can be managed. He said his doctor told him, "You have a very good chance to live your life out and not have to make any drastic changes to your lifestyle."
That sounds terrific, and if you're the one with cancer, believe me, it's the best thing you can hear. But notice that the doctor didn't offer any guarantees. He said "a very good chance" of a long and normal life, which means there is also a very bad chance of short and abnormal one.
Abdul-Jabbar said he revealed that he has cancer to help raise awareness and money to combat the disease. Mission accomplished on the first front. On the second, keep sending those donations to cancer research, folks. There's still far too much we don't know about this killer.
Cancer is a nasty, nasty disease, unlike anything else that can come out of nowhere and knock down anybody without regard for ethnic origin, religious beliefs, gender or sexual orientation. We know some things that can cause it, but many cancers have no explanation. You're cruising along in life, doing everything right, then one day you realize you've been feeling puckish for a while or you have a rash that won't go away. The next thing you know, someone in a white coat is telling you that you have cancer.
Abdul-Jabbar is lucky in that he doesn't have pancreatic or brain cancer, but no one who gets cancer is lucky. Even if you are "cured," you lose something. And being cured is a relative thing, because you're never really cured of this thing. It can always come back.
It comes in a bewildering variety. Abdul-Jabbar mentioned that a close friend, actor Bruno Kirby, died in 2006 of leukemia. When Kareem heard his doctor say he had leukemia, he understandably thought he didn't have long for this world. But Kirby's leukemia laughed at the best treatment while Abdul-Jabbar's is usually treatable relatively easily with a drug made by Novartis, a company that is one of the hall-of-famer's sponsors. That actually is lucky, because from what I read, the medicine can run more than $30,000 a year.
This is something else I hope he uses his pulpit to talk about. If you have health insurance — or a sponsor who makes the medication — you don't have to worry about paying for the medication that will keep you alive and living a mostly normal life. If you don't have insurance, and also have lost your job or are underemployed, well, you do the math. Nobody's going to give you that medicine.
So it would be nice if he'd also throw an elbow in the ribs of a few members of Congress and tell them to make health care affordable and mandatory for everyone, and not just those lucky enough to have a job that offers access to insurance. Because it doesn't matter how young or how healthy or how careful you are, cancer can find you, and if you can't pay for treatment, you're dead.
And a mere $30,000 a year is relative peanuts compared to what it costs to treat other cancers. I've been undergoing treatment for lymphoma for the past five months and will continue in treatment until April. I've had seven shots that cost nearly $25,000 total. I had one prescription for two weeks of medication that ran $20,000. Soon, I'll be going into the hospital for three weeks of treatment at a cost that I'm guessing will run a couple hundred thousand dollars. My prognosis is good, but there are no guarantees.
Kareem is in the same situation: good prognosis, no guarantees. Try to remember that when you think about his story or that of anyone with the disease. There's no "good" cancer to get. It can strike anyone at any time It's the no-good, low-down, rotten s.o.b. of diseases.
Kareem provided you with countless thrills during his great college and pro careers. Now's your chance to pay him back.
Donate something to fight cancer. It doesn't have to be a lot. And if you can't afford a donation, go to your local hospital or blood bank and donate blood. We need that, too. But do something, because the life you save may be your own.

American Idol: Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and the Hype Premiere at Last!
But what everyone really wants to know, of course, is what Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey were really like in action—and whether they could stop taking jabs at each other long enough to judge at least a few aspiring singers.
Well, so long as more hopefuls like Mike Buonopane don't mind kicking off their auditions while the two divas argued about Nicki's hat and whether Mariah was dissing it by saying she'd have brought her dog if she knew "accessories" were allowed.
"I was admiring the hat!" Mariah insisted. (Alas, the panel didn't particularly admire Buonopane's first-out-of-the-gate non-singing.)
Teena Torres, a 28-year-old alumna of a Camp Mariah singing program, fared better.
"I gotta go first, I'm sorry," Mariah insisted in being first to sing Teena's praises. "We're all sitting in awe, blown away," interjected Nicki, giving the first sign that Idol is going to resemble The View this season.
Because of the editing and the hype, we may never know just how problematic the ladies on the panel are, but Mariah's seemingly overstated antics and Nicki's eye-rolling at least made for compelling (for these two hours, at least) television.
As for the gents, Randy Jackson can judge in his sleep ("The vocals, no," was all he said at one point), and Keith Urban proved to be the cutest thing out of New Zealand since Bilbo Baggins and a complete gentleman throughout. (Lucky he has the accent to keep him from being boring.)
And, happily, the talent pool in New York City offered up 41 promising fish, including 21-year-old music student Christina Isabelle; 23-year-old Shira Gavrielov, who had a No. 1 single in Israel; 24-year-old Brooklynite Frankie Ford, who honed his craft singing on the subway; student and blueberry farmer Sarah Restuccio, 17, who's proficient in both country and "Superbass"; 18-year-old Angela Miller, who has partial hearing loss in both ears; and Ashlee Feliciano, 20, whose family fosters medically challenged children.
Quite the assemblage! Too bad they spent so much time on bad news—there was way more rejection than fighting tonight (though the tease is that things get super-juicy on tomorrow's Chicago-set episode).
"I feel like we jell well," Nicki declared at the end of the New York round.
And, for the record, we're happy that 28-year-old Brett Holt didn't have to actually experience the kinda cruel trick played on him in the editing process: All of the judges said enthusiastic yeses following his uneven take on Nat King Cole, after which a little cartoon frog appeared, channeling the fact that the yeses weren't real, followed by the judges' unanimous dismissal of him.
Seriously, what was that?! [Eonline]

Recently, I heard a wise man say that the average human being simply cannot get his brain around the concept of how many is a billion.
When I was a kid, the richest folks I ever heard of were millionaires. A million is a good-sized number… I remember in 2nd grade I decided that I was going to impress my teacher and classmates by writing the numbers to a million.
I found a new notebook, sharpened my pencil, got a good night's sleep, ate a fine breakfast and settled in one snowy Saturday morning in 1952 and proceeded to make numbers. I figured I could be done by Monday morning if I dedicated myself to the task.
I was still excited about the project at about 100. By 500 my interest span was wearing thin; but I hung in there to about a thousand. I was exhausted, my fingers ached, the pencil was half as long and I suddenly realized that I had to do this 999 more times to achieve my childish goal. If I worked every Saturday, I would be 29 years old when I finished.
I was glad that I had not trumpeted my plan to the teacher and the class when the idea arrived in my brain. The experience had one benefit, however. I gained a healthy appreciation for what a "million" actually is.
Being a millionaire has apparently lost much of its luster these days. The only folks that get ink and respect these days are the billionaires. For you who paid attention in your math classes, you know that there are 1,000 millions in a billion. Try writing to a billion some time.
Here is how many a billion is: A billion seconds ago was in the middle of 1959.
A billion minutes ago, Jesus walked the earth. A billion hours ago, our ancestors were living in caves and it was called the Stone Age. A billion days ago, there were no cavemen or anything else that walked on two feet.
OK, dear reader, are you impressed? Are you getting a feel for how many is a billion? Well, heck, lets not spoil the fun. Let's go to a trillion! Wow! But wait, let's not have all the fun now… more about trillions in a minute.
So when you hear politicians talking about billions for this and billions for that and you now know how much that is… pay attention! It is your tax dollars they are throwing around.
For example: Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu (D) is asking Congress for $250 billion to rebuild New Orleans from the damage wrought by Hurricane Katrina. Sounds about right. Right?
I was in New Orleans for a week last year and I saw very little visible damage. Nevertheless Ms. Landrieu thinks that is what the city needs. With closer examination, we find that sum of money divided between the 484,674 residents of New Orleans would net every man, woman and child $5l6,628.
There are 188,251 homes in the city. Divide Senator Landrieu's request among the homeowners and each would get $1,329,787. Or if they cut the red tape and just gave the money to families; your family of four would receive $2,066,012.
And these tax dollars would rebuild homes and infrastructure, much of which is below sea level and the mighty Mississippi. And what will happen the next time a major hurricane hits… well, unless they have invented a way to keep water from running downhill… the same thing all over again!
Now that you are starting to get your mind around the concept of a "BILLION" you will be pleased to know that your government spends a billion dollars of your hard-earned tax dollars every eight hours.
That's right, that is over $2 million a minute and it goes on 24/7… 365 days a year. And what the government doesn't get from taxpayers it borrows from countries around the world. And some of those lenders don't like us much.
To date America is paying interest on $9,000,000,000 (Yes, that is trillions). We call that obscene figure the national debt and it is growing like the Green Monster in the Black Lagoon.
Your assignment, dear reader, should you choose to heap on the grief, is to divide nine trillion dollars by the number of adult taxpayers in America. Remember that 51 percent of our population are children, stay-at-home parents, retired people, the unemployed, the handicapped, the imprisoned and those on welfare. They will not help much in paying off the debt.
But wait! Mr. Obama says he has this thing figured out! Maybe the most inexperienced, liberal senator in the Congress whose record of tax-and-spend really has a plan with his battle cry of Hope and Change.
Maybe Hope and Change will bring to pass a miracle. Maybe that green monster growing ever larger in that frickin' lagoon will be hog tied by this smooth talking fellow. Gosh, I hope so.
If that happens, it would certainly be CHANGE unlike anything we have ever seen. And with everything falling apart, all that is left is HOPE.
Four years from now, lets revisit the issue and do a post-mortem. In the meantime, any bets?

Montrail Susitna II XCR
This is a great shoe for trail running in the rain…
Materials: Gore-tex
Use: foul weather trail runs
Break-in Period: minimal
Price Paid: standard
This is a great shoe for trail running in the rain and mud, especially in the cooler weather of fall and winter. The Gore-Tex works very well keeping your toes warm and dry.
I have a pair of Mt.Mist Montrails (I love the Hardrock for dry weather), but the Mt.Mist's are too clunky - the Gore-tex adds a lot of weight. The Susitna IIs are much lighter and feel like a running shoe (as they should).
Some people in other reviews I've read complain that the nubs on the anterior sole come off with use but I've not had that problem. Admittedly, these are my foul-weather-only shoes and I only use them on trails; I'm not sure how well the sole would hold up with lots of dry or road running.
My only complaint is that they fit so well/tightly that they will not take a Superfeet Green well as the Superfeet elevate the heel too much and take it out of the pocket so there is too much slip. They also don't have quite the protection plate of the Hardrock, but I guess there is a weight trade-off: Gore-tex for less underfoot protection.
Very nice shoes. I wanted to love these but I bought…
Materials: Gore-tex, victory
Use: running, walking, dancing
Break-in Period: 2 days
Weight: 1 lb 14 oz?
Price Paid: $89.95
Very nice shoes. I wanted to love these but I bought a half size too big. The fit around my ankle and midfoot was perfect, but the toe was too long. The lacing system is awesome, the green "wheels" allow you to tighten the shoe from top to bottom. I'm not sure it's a better system than good old fat laces, but it seemed to work when tied right. I loved the front of the shoe, very sleek and it seemed water tight.
I took these on a run though and they were also very stiff, felt like running in a hiking boot. That could because of the larger size, but I just couldn't bring myself to keep them. That being said...I love backcountry.com, their return policy is excellent and their staff is wonderful. I just don't think I'd buy shoes mail-order again.
Where to Buy
The Susitna II XCR has been discontinued.previously retailed for:
$12.99 - $130.00
The Montrail Susitna II XCR is not available from the stores we monitor. It was last seen January 15, 2013 at Mountain Gear.

The historic 2012 drought is far from over, but it has at least subsided in parts of the country.
According to the Palmer Drought Index, a weekly update from the Climate Prediction Center the measures rainfall, temperature and historic data, the majority of the eastern Midwest and Southeast is no longer suffering from drought conditions.
The current map:
Brad Rippey, USDA meteorologist, reports that 55.82% of the country still in drought. "But we've knocked out the eastern Corn Belt."
While the country at large had some pretty good rains from November through January, we haven't had much relief until this week in the Midwest, he says.
The good news is current drought conditions should not weigh too heavy on corn yields. "There's very little relationship between drought this time of year and output for corn," Rippey says. "We've had other years, like 2000 in Iowa, when there was drought this time of year and the eventual outcome was good. The real difference is what happens in late spring and early summer."
Too Late for Wheat
Unfortunately, extremely dry conditions persist for much of the western Corn Belt and South, from the Dakotas down to Texas. Read more: Drought in Western Corn Belt, Plains Likely to Persist
Wheat-growing areas are among some of the hardest hit, and Joe Glauber, USDA chief economist, reports that the crop may be beyond hope. "Tthe Midwest still has persistent dryness. We could be facing some serious abandonment for hard red wheat spring crop."
Current crop conditions ratings are grim. "Weighted by seed area, the hard-red winter wheat states of Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma have 50% of their wheat crop rated in poor to very poor condition compared to just 10% at this time last year. Spring rains will be especially important in the Great Plains this year where elevated levels of abandonment are expected."
David Cleavinger, a Texas wheat producer, reports on Twitter that lack of rain has them watering wheat. "We need a March blizzard. This patch will go for silage instead of grain."
Nationally, wheat production is expected to be 2.1 billion bushels, down 7.4% from 2012. "The decline is attributed to higher abandonment rates and a return to trend yield from last year's record level," Glauber says.

It provides an in depth survey of the subspecialty based on clinical (outpatient clinic and operating room), didactic and research exposure. The program will allow the trainee to expertly diagnose, treat, and manage patients with pediatric otolaryngologic disorders and provide opportunities for increased decision making, clinical duties, and autonomy as the academic year progresses.
The education of the pediatric otolaryngology fellows encompasses the scope of learning objectives proposed by the Fellowship Committee of the American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology which includes the management of pediatric problems such as congenital anomalies of the head and neck, hearing impairment, genetic and developmental anomalies, swallowing disorders, sinus disease, airway disorders and head and neck tumors is multifaceted.
The philosophy of training in the fellowship program comes in the form of both being the recipient from the attendings and in the form of the provider for the otolaryngology fellows. The pediatric otolaryngology fellow gains initial experience early in their residency by observing the attendings in the out-patient department and assisting the attendings in the operating room. Later in the year the trainee gains expertise in the field of pediatric otolaryngology by acting as the primary or teaching surgeon in more complex surgical cases.
The program ensures that the faculty members have sufficient time to supervise and teach fellows by scheduling times which are free of clinical responsibilities. The attendings incorporate teaching into their normal clinical schedules, which include O.R. and clinic time, as well as daily afternoon teaching rounds with one of the attending.

The company is looking for other potential flavors, and improvements in processed cheese have opened the potential for additional options, Van Popering says. "The technology, the artistry has advanced pretty dramatically. That certainly helps foodservice providers access a wider variety of cheese where natural or aged had previously been the only options."
Arby's goes through a rigorous research and development regimen when considering new ingredients, says Neville Craw, the brand's corporate executive chef and director of product development and innovation. That may involve multiple vendors. "Each vendor's cheese is different in style and slicing," he says.
No menu items rely more on cheese than grilled-cheese sandwiches, which are at the heart of several limited-service restaurants.
Diners at Boston-based Cheeseboy, an eight-unit chain in five Northeast states, can select one of 10 signature grilled-cheese sandwiches or create their own by choosing among four breads, four meats, seven vegetables, and six types of cheese, starting at $3.49.
"We look for ingredients that complement each other and mix well," says Michael Inwald, founder and president of the four-year-old company.
Each cheese has properties that work on grilled-cheese sandwiches. American cheese is salty and stands up to strong meat flavors, while Provolone and Swiss are milder. Cheddar has plenty of flavor and melts without the stringiness others have.
One uncommon cheese used at the chain is Muenster, which "goes well with anything," Inwald says. "It is easily paired, having a creamy, buttery flavor that is also more savory than a number of other mild ones."
At the other end of the country, The Melt is making grilled-cheese sandwiches at more than a dozen locations in the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas. "The Melt is simply grilled-cheese happiness. That is our mission," says Paul Coletta, chief marketing officer for the chain, which expects to grow in part through the addition of dozens of food trucks.
Only natural cheese from hormone-free milk earns a spot on The Melt's menu. That includes Cheddar, Pepper Jack, Swiss, Provolone, and Fontina, which has a fairly intense flavor, "melts perfectly in terms of texture, and is very creamy," Coletta says.
Some more exotic cheese varieties, such as goat cheese and Brie, have made it onto The Melt menu as part of limited-time offers. Melted cheese sandwiches are $4.75, and meat or vegetables—braised short ribs, for instance—adds another $2 or $3.
Cheese is also at the heart of macaroni and cheese. Most quick serves and fast casuals use a mixture of several cheese varieties, notably Cheddar, Monterey Jack, and processed American, in their mac and cheese, although a few add in other varieties.
MacDaddy's, a mac-and-cheese eatery with two Connecticut locations, has more than two dozen offerings, featuring not only the usual suspects, but also Ricotta, smoked Gouda, Asiago, goat cheese, Gruyere, and Fontina in natural, aged, or processed form.
"We offer a lot of different cheese, a lot of blended cheese," says Joseph Voll, chief executive at MacDaddy's. "There's no cheese that doesn't work. It's a question of using the right amount of each cheese, depending on what else is in the dish."
Still, the most popular item is old-fashioned mac and cheese featuring Cheddar and topped with breadcrumbs.
Another American favorite is the cheeseburger, and the 37-unit The Counter features burgers topped with Tillamook-brand Cheddar, American, Brie, Danish Blue, Feta, Gruyere, Horseradish Cheddar, Jalapeño Jack, Provolone, or Swiss cheese. Most of these are also available at the Culver City, California–based company's fast casual, Built Custom Burgers.
Cheddar is the most popular choice because it works well with beef, turkey, and veggie burgers, as well as chicken breast, says Andrew Evans, director of culinary operations.
"We use Tillamook Cheddar because of the flavor profile and creaminess on the melt," he says. It is aged less than 60 days, so it slices better and doesn't crumble. "And the cheese is mild enough not to offend, but has enough flavor to meet the profile we seek."
At Built Custom Burgers, which opened its first restaurant in Los Angeles this spring, the kitchen manager chooses one special cheese monthly. A recent selection was Halloumi, a slightly salty choice from Cyprus with a high melting point. Another cheese was Manchego, made with sheep's milk from Spain's La Mancha region. "The buttery flavor complements beef, chicken, and turkey," Evans says.
These and other cheese varieties are fair game for limited-service restaurants because "Americans aren't afraid of trying them," says Shane Schaibly, corporate chef of Front Burner Brands, parent of fast casual Burger 21 and the casual Melting Pot chain.
Nonetheless, American cheese remains very popular at Burger 21. "It's not the most amazing cheese, but if you didn't have it, guests would be puzzled," Schaibly says.
The burger brand has other familiar cheese choices—Swiss, Cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Provolone—as well as Fontina, Feta and blue cheese spreads, and blue cheese crumbles.
Gouda is featured on the Tex-Mex Haystack with guacamole, bacon, onion strings, lettuce, tomato, and chipotle-jalapeño sauce. And one limited-time offer, the Alpine Spring Burger, includes Gruyere, "which has a nutty, earthy flavor," Schaibly says.
"People are more adventurous, so they'll try things like Gruyere or Fontina on a burger."

If you've read MapleMoney.com for any length of time, you've probably seen me mention Swagbucks at some point. Some of you may not know what that is, so let me explain:
Swagbucks is an online portal dedicated to helping you earn digital dollars called "Swag Bucks". These bucks can be redeemed for things like gift cards, downloads and products in the Swag Store.
Does it Actually Work?
Yes – it really does!
In the last year, I have earned over $600 in gift cards by using Swagbucks. I was able to purchase many books and kitchen items that we needed with the Amazon.ca gift cards that I redeemed my bucks for.
How Do I Sign Up?
If you're interested in signing up to Swagbucks, visit the Swagbucks website and register. You will earn 30 free Swag Bucks just for signing up.
Please note that you are only allowed to have one account per individual (not per household).
How Do I Earn Swag Bucks?
There are actually many ways that you can earn Swag Bucks other than just using the search engine.
I don't recommend trying to do all 15 of these things because it will probably be overwhelming and take up an incredible amount of time, but these are all ways to earn Swag Bucks that I feel are worth mentioning.
1. Search the Web
The most popular way to earn Swag Bucks is to search the web. Just visit the Swagbucks homepage and every time you search for something using their search engine, you will have the chance to earn Swag Bucks.
You will only earn bucks periodically as you search, so don't try searching for things over and over again – it won't work.
2. Watch Videos
Find some great content that you are interested in, and fill your Swag Bucks meter as you watch. Once the meter is full, you'll have a chance to win Swag Bucks.
All you have to do is watch videos that interest you and at the end of each video you can earn anywhere from 1-5 Swag Bucks. Keep in mind that you won't win every time you watch a video.
I like to run these videos when I am doing something in the office, such as cleaning or organizing paperwork. That way I am nearby to click to the next video. I don't do this very often, but when I do, I usually earn about 4 Swag Bucks for every "winning" video.
3. Play Games
If you enjoy computer games, check out the free ones offered by Swagbucks and you can earn 1-5 bonus Swag Bucks just for playing.
If you want to play against other Swagbucks members, you can buy into a tournament (these are limited time or limited player tournaments) and have a chance to win as much as 2000 Swag Bucks or more.
I haven't had much luck with these games, but I know a few people that claim to earn quite a few Swag Bucks by playing games a few times per day.
4. Take Surveys
Visit the "Trusted Survey" dashboard every day for great survey opportunities. When you give your opinion, you will be awarded with Swag Bucks.
You will only earn Swag Bucks when you qualify and I have found that I don't qualify for many. However, it may be worth your time to check and see if you do qualify.
5. Complete Time Sensitive Offers
There are some offers that you can complete to earn bonus Swag Bucks, and many of them don't require payment of any kind.
You can earn quite a few Swag Bucks by completing these offers, but be sure to only complete the ones you are sincerely interested in to avoid spam mail.
6. View No Obligation Special Offers
Visit the "NOSO" page to view special offers with no obligation necessary to earn Swag Bucks. You can look at all of the offers and not even sign up to one of them and earn 2 Swag Bucks per day.
However, if there is an offer that interests you, be sure to sign up for it to earn even more bonus Swag Bucks.
7. Recycle Products
Swagbucks has a recycling program where you can earn Swag Bucks for handing over your old cell phone, books and gaming systems.
All you have to do is look up the product that you'd like to trade in, print the pre-paid label and trade-in receipt, stick the package in the mail and collect your Swag Bucks (once your item has been received and processed).
Personally, I don't think the bucks that you get for these items is very much, but if these are items that are just sitting around your home collecting dust, it may be worth it for you to trade them for some Swag Bucks.
8. Answer Polls
There is a new poll every day on the Swagbucks website. Every time you vote in the current daily poll, you will earn 1 bonus Swag Buck.
This is such a simple way to earn around 30 Swag Bucks every month. It only takes a few seconds to do. It is usually the first thing I do in the morning when I log on to the computer.
9. Referrals
Once you see how easy it is to earn great prizes through Swagbucks, you will want to tell all of your friends so that they can start earning prizes too.
Make sure you get them to sign up through your referral link so that you can earn points for referring them. Swagbucks will give you 10% of their Swag Buck earnings for life!
10. Perform Tasks
When you do small "tasks" on the Swag Bucks website, you will be rewarded with bonus Swag Bucks. Small tasks include things such as testing online discounts and promotions, finding biographical information for celebrity actors, finding great things to do in a particular city, etc.
11. Use the Toolbar
Be sure to install the Swagbucks toolbar on your browser so that you can search for things on the web easily.
You can type all your searches into the toolbar instead of having to click on the homepage to do so. You are also awarded 1 bonus Swag Buck every a day, just for using the toolbar.
12. Follow Swagbucks on Facebook
Swagbucks will often post special codes and offers for their Facebook fans, so it's a good idea to "Like" them on Facebook.
Check their page every day or so to see if there are any new promotions or special Swag Codes available.
13. Follow Swagbucks on Twitter
Just like on Facebook, Swag Bucks rewards their Twitter followers will special offers and codes, so be sure to add them to your list.
14. Read the Swagbucks Blog
The blog is always updated with news and offers and is a great place for you to find special promotions.
Occasionally, Swagbucks will pick a random follower and reward them with FREE Swag Buckd! Look for blog posts from "The Swag Guy" (TSG) or "The Swag Girl" (TSGal) to find exclusive Swag Buck opportunities.
15. Make a Search Your Homepage
Most people say to make Swagbucks.com your homepage, but I have a much better tip for you.
- Go to Swagbucks.com
- Search for something you search for a lot (maybe MapleMoney.com?)
- When the search results come up, make the search results page your homepage
- Now, every time you click the HOMEPAGE button (the little house) in your browser, you will end up at that search page
This means that every time you go to your homepage you will have a chance to win bucks – and you didn't even have to manually search for anything.
After referrals, this is how I get the bulk of my Swag Bucks.
Swag Bucks is one of my favourite "money" making programs and I recommend it 100% to anyone who spends time online.
For very little effort you can enjoy free gift cards and other prizes for doing something as simple as surfing the web.

France v England, Six Nations, March 11
Parra and Trinh-Duc axed by France
ESPNscrum Staff
March 7, 2012
Lionel Beauxis has been restored to the France line-up © Getty Images
Morgan Parra and Francois Trinh-Duc have been axed for France's Six Nations clash with England in Paris on Sunday.
The halfbacks have been rotated out by Philippe Saint-Andre following last weekend's 17-17 draw with Ireland, a result that ended their hopes of a possible Grand Slam decider against Wales in the final round.
Lionel Beauxis returns to the starting line-up at fly-half for the first time since 2009, while Julien Dupuy replaces Parra in the No.9 jersey after a similarly long spell on the sidelines.
In the pack, Julien Bonnaire continues at openside, with Imanol Harinordoquy at No.8, and Louis Picamoles among the replacements.
"We can still win the tournament," Saint-Andre said. "We will get together to produce a big performance against England. We will think about the following match after that. We will look to be a bit more tactically astute.
"At the highest level you can make a mistake once. The important thing is to make sure you don't make the same mistake a second time. What was incredible [against Ireland] was how we dominated the possession, the set-piece, the penalties, the line breaks and the tackles. But once again dominating is not winning."
France: C Poitrenaud (Toulouse), V Clerc (Toulouse), A Rougerie (Clermont Auvergne), W Fofana (Clermont Auvergne), J Malzieu (Clermont Auvergne); L Beauxis (Toulouse), J Dupuy (Stade Francais); JB Poux (Toulouse), D Szarzewski (Stade Francais), N Mas (Perpignan), P Pape (Stade Francais), Y Maestri (Toulouse), T Dusautoir (Toulouse), J Bonnaire (Clermont Auvergne), I Harinordoquy (Biarritz)
Replacements: W Servat (Toulouse), V Debaty (Clermont Auvergne), L Nallet (Racing Metro), L Picamoles (Toulouse), F Trinh-Duc (Montpellier), M Parra (Clermont Auvergne), M Mermoz (Perpignan)

Kami Bushi Do is an integrated martial art that utilizes techniques and methods from several different styles. Kami Bushi Do translates as "Divine Warrior Way". Kami Bushi Do is a branch of the original Kami Bushi Kai art. Kami Bushi Kai was founded by David Okawa Baize in 1981 after many years of cross training in Western Boxing, Tae Kwon Do, Kempo, Aiki-jujitsu, and Shotokan Karate. In 1998 Shihan Baize promoted Dan McCaslin to the rank of Hachidan-8th degree black belt and appointed him to head the Kami Bushi Do branch. Shihan Baize also promoted Jim Long of Florida to Hachidan-8th degree black belt and appointed him to head the Kami Bushi Jutsu branch of the Kami Bushi arts.
In April 2006 Soke Baize appointed Dan McCaslin as Soke-Dai. In July 2010 Soke-Dai McCaslin formally resigned from the United Bujutsu Federation to form a new martial arts association. The new organization is San Yama Bujutsu Renmei which means Three Mountains Martial Arts Federation. The new organization is meant to be an alliance of like-minded martial artists who can share information on training, business aspects of martial arts and also serve as a certification center for rank examinations.Members with more experience can serve as mentors for martial artists who need advice. The new organization will have divisional heads who will be in charge of a specific style or system. For example someone will head the kempo division,karate division, etc. Members of the new organization can be from percussion styles such as Kempo, Karate, or Tae-Kwon Do, etc.Members can also be from grappling syles such as JiuJitsu, Aikido,Judo, etc. The third category of members is weaponry practice. This category would include Okinawan Weapons, Filipino weapons arts, and also Chinese weapons stylists. Thus these three categories of membership would constitute the "Three Mountains".
Kami Bushi Do is the art that is taught at the Richmond School of Karate under Soke McCaslin's direction. Kami Bushi Do utilizes techniques from several different martial arts including:

Cloud customer relationship management leader Salesforce announced a new strategy on April 2 to individualize offerings across industry verticals to accelerate top line growth for the company. Revenues for Salesforce have seen an annualized growth rate of over 30% in the past five years, boosted by strong migration to the cloud from company-owned infrastructure. Last fiscal year (ended January), revenues for the company crossed the $4 billion mark, partially supported by the acquisition of digital marketing company
In this note, we take a look at Salesforce's 'New Industries Strategy' and analyze its potential impact on the top line going forward. The company continues to invest heavily to support its impressive top line growth, which has impaired operating and net income profit margins on a non-GAAP basis for the company.
See Our Complete Coverage For Salesforce.com
"New Industries Strategy" Should Present Targeted Growth Opportunity For Salesforce
We believe the new industries approach is a way for
Given the possibility of skewered growth in enterprise CRM from certain industries going forward, Salesforce's strategy to overlay these groups acreoss its existing operating structure looks to be a prudent move. The company has already recruited executives with rich industry experience to build customer solutions for specific industries). This industry-specific structure from Salesforce should bode well for future growth from the company, and should be able to create a strong binding with its mobile-first Salesforce1 platform.
However, the creation of these groups suggests the company's intensive investment in growth will continue, which will bother those of us seeking higher profitability. With the new industry-specific reorganization of its Go-To-Market team, Salesforce will be investing in creating business operations, hiring, and training personnel to gain expertise in individual industries. The company announced to "grow its current team of industry experts, develop and ecosystem of preferred partners and create transformational solutions that leverage the power of the trusted Salesforce1 platform" for each sector. These investments ahead of growth would further strain margins for the company going forward.
However, prudent strategies such as the Salesforce1 platform and the launch of industry-specific teams to cater to enterprise needs should boost top line growth . We expect Salesforce's market share in the global CRM market to see continued uptick going forward. In a recent analyst presentation, the company reported 17 straight quarters of declining attrition rates from its customers driven by greater usage of the Salesforce CRM suite and increased customization using the Salesforce1 platform. The new industry groups should bolster further customization with industry-optimized solutions and this should further reduce customer attrition.
We have a $49 price estimate for Salesforce, which stands at a 12% discount to its current market price of $55. Despite the company's impressive strategies to prop up top line growth, we believe the concerns on margin pressure for Salesforce.com are larger than what the market is factoring in at the moment.

Judge lets Ariz. immigrant license policy stand
PHOENIX A judge on Thursday refused to halt Gov. Jan Brewer's order that denies driver's licenses for young immigrants in Arizona who have gotten work permits and avoided deportation under an Obama administration policy.
The decision by U.S. District Judge David Campbell rejects the argument by immigrant rights advocates who said Brewer's policy was unconstitutional because it's trumped by federal law.
Arizona's refusal to view those in President Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program as legal residents has become the most visible challenge to his announcement in June that some young immigrants would be protected from deportation. The Department of Homeland Security has said immigrants with work permits issued under the policy are lawfully present in the U.S.
- Arizonans "living in fear" of state's insecure border, Brewer says
- New Ariz. immigration law begins, with questions
The ruling marked an overall victory for Brewer, though the groups challenging her policy prevailed on one front.
Campbell said the immigrant rights advocates are likely to succeed in arguing that the state lets some immigrants with work permits get driver's licenses but won't let immigrants protected under Obama's program to pursue the same benefit.
Brewer's lawyers argued that Obama's policy isn't federal law and the state has the authority to distinguish between immigrants with work permits who are on the path toward permanent residency and those benefiting from Obama's policy.
The state's lawyers argued Arizona isn't violating its own policy by refusing to grant licenses to the immigrants in the program, because the youths haven't been granted legal protections by Congress.
Last summer, the Obama administration took administrative steps to shield thousands of immigrants from deportation. Applicants must have come to the U.S. before they turned 16, be younger than 30, have been in the country for at least five continuous years, be in school or have graduated from high school or GED program, or have served in the military. They also were allowed to apply for a two-year renewable work permit.
Arizona's policy allows anyone with lawful immigration status to get a driver's license, and more than 500 immigrants with work permits have obtained Arizona driver's licenses in recent years. But Arizona officials have said they don't want to extend driver's licenses to those in the new program because they don't believe the youths will be able to stay in the country legally.
Immigrant rights advocates filed their lawsuit in November on behalf of five young-adult immigrants who were brought to the U.S. from Mexico as children. They were granted deferred-deportation protections under the Obama administration's policy but were denied licenses in Arizona.
The lawsuit said Brewer's policy makes it difficult or impossible for such young immigrants to do essential things in their everyday life, such as going to school, going to the grocery store, and finding and holding down a job.
A similar lawsuit was filed in Michigan after officials there initially decided to deny young immigrants licenses, but the case was dropped when the state changed its policy last month. At least 38 states have agreed to give driver's licenses to immigrants benefiting from the Obama policy, but Nebraska and Ohio officials have also balked.
Brewer has clashed with the Obama administration in the past over illegal immigration, most notably in the challenge that the federal government filed in a bid to invalidate Arizona's 2010 immigration law. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the law's most contentious section, but threw out other sections.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Gay and bisexual boys are almost six times as likely as their heterosexual peers to misuse steroids, according to a new study.
"What was most surprising to us was the magnitude of the disparities that emerged between sexual minority and heterosexual boys," Aaron J. Blashill from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston told Reuters Health in an email.
Upwards of 5 percent of adolescent boys use anabolic-androgenic steroids to enhance strength, athletic performance, and muscle size, but nobody had studied the association between sexual orientation and steroid abuse before, Blashill and his colleague Steven A. Safren noted.
Long-term misuse of steroids can lead to heart problems, hormone-related changes and psychiatric disorders.
The researchers were concerned that gay and bisexual boys might be more likely to misuse steroids because of other factors that have been tied to steroid and other substance abuse. Those include depression, victimization, suicidal thoughts and intent and poor body image.
To see if that was the case, Blashill and Safren used data from the 2005 and 2007 U.S. Youth Risk Behavior Surveys of 17,250 teenage boys, including 635 who were gay or bisexual.
About 21 percent of gay and bisexual boys said they had abused steroids at some time in their lives, compared with only 4 percent of heterosexual boys.
Gay and bisexual boys were also nearly six times as likely as heterosexual boys to report moderate use of steroids (at least 10 times) or severe use (at least 40 times), according to the report in the journal Pediatrics.
In an effort to understand why, the researchers looked at other factors thought to be important contributors to steroid use. They found drug and alcohol use, depression or suicidal tendencies and feelings of victimization played a role in steroid misuse.
Even after taking those factors into account, though, being gay or bisexual was still linked to an increased risk of steroid abuse.
"Gay and bisexual boys are often targets of bullying, and some boys (particularly if they also possess poor body image) may turn to anabolic-androgen steroids (AAS) use as a means to obtain a more muscular build, in hopes it would deter others from bullying them," Blashill said.
"Parents should be mindful of their son's school climate regarding bullying, in general, and specifically, attitudes toward sexual minorities."
Steroids are often used covertly, he noted, so it may be hard for parents to observe their use directly. But they may be able to monitor related behaviors, like excessive exercise and weightlifting.
"On a broader point, sexual minority boys report high levels of body dissatisfaction (more similar to levels of heterosexual girls than heterosexual boys), so parents should also be mindful that body image concerns may well be a factor in their sons' lives," Blashill said.
"Often, I'll hear from patients telling me how they are frequently told they're 'too skinny' or that they need to 'put some meat on those bones' from family/friends, who are often well-intentioned," or who even meant to compliment them, he added.
"These boys, quite eloquently, state how such a double-standard exists, that calling a boy 'so skinny' is akin to calling a girl 'fat,' but it appears that society, by and large, feels the former is more socially acceptable. But, these comments, coming from peers, family (and) coaches, can have real impacts on boys' body image," Blashill said.

Author Alanna Mitchell transforms science into storytelling in Sea Sick
How does a non-performer transform her non-fiction show into a genuine performance?
That was the dilemma facing Alanna Mitchell, a former Globe & Mail science reporter, as she laboured through an earlier Toronto run of Sea Sick, her solo show that opens Thursday night as part of the 2015 High Performance Rodeo.
The show, adapted from Mitchell's critically-acclaimed non-fiction book, Sea Sick: The Global Ocean in Crisis takes the audience on Mitchell's journey — as a prairie-raised (Regina) landlubber who sets out to explore how humankind has impacted our oceans.
"I gave one performance (in Toronto) that was really not as good as it should have been," she says. "It wasn't a total disaster, but it should have been — and so … I finally go talk to my director, Franco Bonney, and I say, what was wrong with that? What is this? How do I make this better?
"And he said, you're going to have to look inside yourself to figure that out."
That led Mitchell — who had spent all of her professional life typing stories, not performing them — to seek the counsel of her husband.
"My husband … has been through this entire journey with me," she says, "first for the book … so he's seen the whole thing (unfold), and watched this play develop.
"So he's standing in the (theatre) lobby (before the show), people are gathering and going into the theatre and I said to him, what do I need to do?
"And he looked at me and said, Alanna, if you're enjoying yourself, we're enjoying ourself."
That was exactly what Mitchell needed to hear.
"Something clicked," she says. "And I realized — I'm a storyteller."
The stories she tells in Sea Sick are of an ecosystem in peril, thanks in part to a combination of the impact of humanity and another part because of the unforeseen — but undeniable — impact of global warming on our oceans.
What she discovered was jarring, to say the least.
"It's not for the feint of heart," she says, "but I think it's quite a hopeful thing, in the end. "
Sea Sick explores our largest bodies of water from the perspective that there's actually only one body of water that encompasses every single ocean.
"They're all one system," she says. "like the blood in your body is one system. "
And our oceans are not exactly in boffo shape.
"I was really, really naive about how it all works," she says. "I'm a prairie kid. I didn't understand how the ocean worked. I didn't understand how it functions within the biology of the planet.
"So I was on an immense learning curve," she says, "and I think my goal was to understand how it worked and to see if humans were having an effect on this vast cradle of life.
"What I discovered was," she says, "we're not only having an effect, we're having a profound effect — and it's affecting its (the ocean's) ability to support life as we know it on the planet.
"Putting together all of those pieces (of information)," she says, "was profoundly disturbing."
And yet, Mitchell emerged from it all still hopeful that people can work it out between us and our planetary lifeblood.
"It's not over yet," she says. "There's still a window in which we can make a tremendous difference.
"What I'm trying to talk about," she says, "is that we're not at the end of the story. We're in the middle — and that means we can change what the ending's going to be.
"It kind of gives me an exquisite hope," she adds. "It's one of the most important times in the history of life on the planet — and our hands are on the tiller. So we're going to determine what happens.
"That's a pretty exciting thought. "
And, in honour of One Yellow Rabbit, the crew behind the High Performance Rodeo, the city will be awash in yellow for the rest of the week. Venues such as the Calgary Tower, Langevin Bridge and River Walk, Telus Spark, Stephen Avenue and the Glenbow Museum will be lit yellow to celebrate the launch of the 29th High Performance Rodeo.

Bulldogs Fall 5-0 And 8-0
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Dartmouth pitcher Kristen Rumley showed Yale why she is a leading candidate for the Ivy League Pitcher of the Year Award on Sunday. Rumley tossed 12 scoreless innings, allowing only four hits, as the Big Green swept a doubleheader from the Bulldogs 5-0 and 8-0.
Katie McEachern supplied all the offense Dartmouth would need. She hit a grand slam home run in the first game and added a two-run blast in the second game.
Sarah Onorato had a hit in each game for Yale (8-32, 3-13 Ivy).
Yale pitcher Chelsey Dunham matched Rumley through the first four innings of the first game. The Big Green, though, finally got to Dunham in the fifth, although they hardly knocked her around. Infield singles by Rumley and Kathy Dzienkowski and a walk to Hillary Hubert loaded the bases. McEachern then hit a line drive that just cleared the centerfield fence to give Dartmouth a 4-0 lead.
The Big Green tacked on a run in the seventh to cap the scoring.
Rumley retired the first nine hitters she faced before Onorato singled leading off the fourth. Tori Balta then laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt. Dartmouth first baseman Morgan McCalmon bobbled it, and Balta reached. Christy Nelson's sacrifice bunt put runners on second and third with one out, but Rumley retired the next two hitters to get out of the jam.
Jennifer Ong doubled in the fifth for the Bulldogs but also was left stranded.
The Big Green (22-17, 12-4 Ivy) seized control of the second game by scoring five runs in the first inning.
Dartmouth added a run in the fourth and McEachern's long home run to left-center made it 8-0 in the fifth.
Hannah Brennan and Onorato had the only hits for Yale.
The Bulldogs are back in action on Wednesday when they play a doubleheader at Army. The first pitch of the first game is slated for 3:30 p.m.

WASHINGTON - First lady Michelle Obama will challenge governors to make it easier for military members to transfer their skills to civilian jobs.
Mrs. Obama wants states to pass legislation or take executive action allowing veterans to receive professional credentials or licenses based on their experiences in the military. Administration officials say that would allow veterans to apply for jobs more quickly rather than having to take courses for skills they already have.
Mrs. Obama will announce her proposals Monday during remarks to governors who are in Washington for their annual meeting.
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will also address the governors during the White House event.

A military clothing company has come up with Warrior Wear, a line of trousers and shirts with I.T.S. &mdash that's an integrated tourniquet system &mdash attached for those fighting on the front line. If you are hit, you just pull the corresponding tourniquet tight to stem the bleeding from the wound. There are four tourniquets on the trousers, and four on the shirt (the short-sleeved version has two) which can immediately be applied to the wound by either the wearer, his buddy, or a medic. As well as helping to stop deaths in the field, it is thought that using the I.T.S. will dramatically speed up the time it takes to recover from extreme blood loss injuries.The system was devised by Dr Kenneth Rose, a former army surgeon who spent several years in the military. "The majority of preventable deaths come from loss of blood resulting from arm and leg wounds that is not protected by body armor," he explained. "The fact that you can always find the tourniquet with the Integrated Tourniquet system and the speed with which you can immediately apply it will dramatically impact not only loss of life but also the amount of time that it takes to recover from extreme blood loss injuries."
Warrior Wear is currently in the last phase of testing, and should be available in the first quarter of next year. [Blackhawk! via Medgadget]

Bellevue University graduate named U.S. Army Soldier of the Year
A Bellevue University graduate was named the 2012 U.S. Army Soldier of the Year.
Sgt. Saral Shrestha is a native of Nepal, coming to the states just after high school.
"I had finished high school and my mom wanted me to come to U.S. to further my education. So, I respected her wishes and came here to Nebraska," Shrestha said.
Before Shrestha graduated from Bellevue University, he made his dream to join the military a reality. In September 2009, he entered the Army with the help of a special program for legal immigrants to fill personnel shortages.
On Nov. 24, 2009, the same day Shrestha graduated from basic combat training, he became a naturalized U.S. citizen. He did a tour of duty in Afghanistan.
In September, Shrestha participated in the four-day Best Warrior Competition where he competed against 24 other soldiers in Fort Lee, Va., to claim the title of U.S. Army Soldier of the Year.
"It's a big responsibility, and I'm the best out of the best," Shrestha said.
Shrestha said he plans to attend officer candidate school. He is heading to Fort Benning, Ga., next week to continue his military career.
He graduated from Bellevue University with a degree in computer science while deployed in Afghanistan.
The U.S. Army provided KETV NewsWatch 7 with this interview.

We live outside Seattle and even for us this spring has been rainy. This activity is a perfect example of simple being wonderful. As soon as I told my son about my idea he was eager to start, so this wasn't our most polished project, but trust me we had a ball. I don't know about the kids in your house but in ours we need to work up a sweat inside or out to ensure a smooth bedtime and great sleep. So rain or shine we need to move our bodies!
- Gather your materials – all you need are some card stock ( index cards would be awesome) , a marker, and scissors if you need to cut the card stock.
- Write out different actions, exercises, and physical feats twice.
- Cut and make two piles.
- To play you need two players ( I played as well- trust me you don't need to see me do karate kicks in my Pjs…not a pretty sight). Each player gets a pile. The premise is simple both players put their pile of cards face down, count out loud to 3 and flip .
- Then do the action on the card.
- Keep flipping and moving!
- Exercise will make you strong!
Like all the books this week this one Strong Stickfiggy is one of the ebooks available on the free MeMeTales' Mobile Reader App . We read it on my iPod , under the covers pretending it was the Batcave ( do not tell me that shocks you…). You don't have to read it in a Batcave or even at home , you can read it anywhere which is my favorite part of this app.
