Natural Lip Care
A kiss is the most natural thing in the world. So it makes sense that natural ingredients would give you a prettier pucker. From healing chapped, dry lips to adding a pretty gloss or tint, there's nothing like Kiss My Face for your kisser.
Jojoba Oil
Extracted from a desert shrub, jojoba oil is nature's most effective moisturizer for skin and hair. Native Americans used jojoba oil for cosmetic and medicinal purposes, attributing mystical healing powers to it. Now you can enjoy the same superb moisturization and antiaging benefits. Jojoba oil helps prevent and reduce wrinkles, promotes new cell growth and makes skin luminous. This liquid gold also conditions hair and scalp, leaving hair shiny and lustrous.
Shea Butter
Egyptian Queen Nefertiti was a big fan of Shea Butter and told everyone who would listen (and everyone had to because she was Queen), how she owed her legendary beauty to Shea Butter. Shea Butter is a deep skin moisturizer that actually slows skin's cellular degeneration while helping skin keep its elasticity and healthy radiance. Our Shea Butter is wild-crafted from the nuts of the African Shea tree.

Kiss My Face's Story
Kiss My Face is no newcomer to the green marketplace. KISS was founded by Bob Macleod and Steve Byckiewicz 30 years ago on a 200 acre farm in New York's beautiful Hudson River Valley.
It was the dawn of the 1980's. A couple of (very) young vegetarians are living happily in an ancient house on an organic farm that was used as a hospital during the Revolutionary war. One night in front of a crackling fire, a light goes off and the two modestly decide to revolutionize the cosmetic industry. Lofty plans with loads of creativity and style are created. The Kiss My Face natural body care company is born, starting with some big, ugly, green bars of soap from Greece. But there is absolutely no money...the stage is set for a business disaster.
The boys load the soap and some organic squash from their garden into their aging VW and head to NYC, all the way hoping the proverbial door won't be slammed in their faces...it isn't! Retailers offer overwhelming support, think the olive soaps are beautiful, buy the squash and even buy them lunch occasionally. The boys are smiling.
Fast forward to today. The VW was traded in for a hybrid but the boys still have their youthful enthusiasm. Now, with a successful line of over 200 bath and body products sold in over 19 countries worldwide, KISS has become a respected leader in natural body care. Kiss My Face has gotcha covered from head to toe...with a few stops in between!

Once the holidays are over, life loses a bit of its glow. The decorations come down (or hang around and seem depressing). You miss hearing those carols that you thought were so annoying. Every meal no longer seems like a party.
It's time for a reality check — time to roll up your sleeves and get back to the routine of cooking regular meals.
The editors of Southern Living magazine offer up "Southern Living Fix It & Freeze It, Heat It & Eat It" (Oxmoor House, 2012), a cookbook that is all about ease and planning. The idea is to cook ahead of time and free up daily life for the rest of "reality."
The book includes some valuable hints about freezing foods:
This chicken dish can help you ease into the new year. It is easily cooked and frozen, but it still seems like a party. Hum some carols while you make it.
Yield: 4 servings
Recipe from: "Southern Living Fix It & Freeze It, Heat It & Eat It" (Oxmoor House, 2012)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1� teaspoons salt
� cup all-purpose flour
� teaspoon black pepper
� cup milk
1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
Olive oil
1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
12 fresh mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
4 scallions, trimmed and chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons capers
� cup chicken broth or water
� cup Marsala or white wine
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 lemons, sliced
Place chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound and flatten chicken to �-inch thickness. Sprinkle chicken evenly with � teaspoon salt.
Combine flour, pepper and another � teaspoon salt in a shallow dish. Pour milk in a shallow bowl. Put breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip chicken in milk and dredge in breadcrumbs.

Remove from skillet and drain on the lined platter. Discard oil and drippings, reserving 2 tablespoons in the pan.
Saut� garlic in hot drippings 20 seconds over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and saut� 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add scallions, parsley and capers; saut� 1 minute. Stir in broth (or water), wine, lemon juice and the remaining � teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes or until slightly thickened.

When a cancer diagnosis hits home, the loaded subject of religion is unavoidable.
A breast cancer patient named Linda was angry about the Susan G. Komen Foundations since-reversed decision to cut off funding for Planned Parenthood in order to maintain its relationship with the Catholic Church. She uploaded a defiant video to YouTube earlier this year.
I used to have two beautiful girls here, she says, indicating the place on her chest once occupied by her breasts. Now theyre gone.
Opening her robe to reveal bilateral mastectomy scars, she looks straight at the camera and vents her fury: Do you see religion on my chest? Do you see Christian? Do you see Catholic? Do you see Jewish? Do you see Hindu? Do you see Muslim?
At the same time, religion can motivate acts of kindness. During chemotherapy, I received two Roman Catholic prayer cards of El Divino Niño, the Infant Jesus of Prague, to which believers attribute miraculous powers.
Help us endure our afflictions and sorrows with patience and courage, one of the written prayers reads.
If my maternal grandmother had been alive, she would have knelt before a statue of that infant and prayed for my health. After her funeral service in 2010, I held my grandfathers hand as he wept. I have lost the love of my life, he said. Im not sure if I believe in God, but I believe that I will be with her again. He died a few months later.
I thought about him last week when I attended a Passover Seder at the home of Jewish friends. Although both of my parents were raised Roman Catholic, I tested positive for the BRCA2 genetic mutation associated with breast and ovarian cancer that is common among Jews of Ashkenazi descent. That surprising test result raised the possibility that my grandfathers father, who emigrated to Colombia from Germany during the Nazi period, was Jewish.
And so my religious heritage is somewhat muddled at a time when many women embrace their faith. Studies have found that breast cancer patients tend to increase their religious or spiritual activities after their diagnosis.
Reality TV star Giuliana Rancic, a Roman Catholic, appears to be one of them. The young TV host told People magazine that she and her husband have begun going to church every Sunday. Now we pray together, she said, and youll never know how much that means until you do it.
Yet while religious faith is a source of strength and solace for some breast cancer patients, it can be an impediment for others. A 2002 East Carolina University study found that the belief in religious intervention in place of treatment could help explain why some women were getting diagnosed at more advanced stages. The researchers suggested that clinicians and clergy work together within the context of religious beliefs to enhance early detection.
There is a lot more in common than we realize between science and religion, says the Rev. Aida Melendez-Diego, who offers bilingual, non-denominational pastoral care to patients at the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Prayer and mediation help to reduce stress and anxiety, said Melendez-Diego, who has an office at the Courtelis Center for Psychosocial Oncology. She gave me a booklet last week with instructions to download an iPhone app for daily meditations.
Cancer is a temporary experience. Its hard for our limited minds to understand concepts like eternity, so we complicate things, she said. I listened politely and smiled.
Its simple, she added. You exist in an infinite universe, and you didnt create it. A higher power did.
Talking to her made me feel like I was swimming in a lake of uncertainty. One thing I know for sure: Breast cancer doesnt respect religion.

The views in these blogs are those held by the individual blogger and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton Football Club.
About the authorView articles
Keep your eyes peeled - it looks as though two Everton youngsters could be on course to do battle for League One glory this season.
John Lundstram and Jake Bidwell are both out on loan at Doncaster Rovers and Brentford respectively, with the two sides currently sitting in the automatic promotion berths.
Donny's table-topping stay and the Bees' rise to second were a result of more points gained over the last seven days.
Despite playing over 30 league games for Uwe Rosler's Brentford this term, left-back Bidwell has found himself on the bench in recent weeks.
That was again the case last Tuesday as he sat out a 2-1 home win over fellow promotion chasers Swindon Town.
But, on Saturday, he made his return, coming on as a 55th-minute substitute to help his side record a vital 1-0 win over Preston at Griffin Park.
Also on Saturday, Doncaster edged two points clear of the climbing Bees with a hard-fought 1-1 draw at home to relegation battling Portsmouth.
Midfielder Lundstram played the full 90 minutes - and boss Brian Flynn afterwards spoke of his desire to keep the 19-year-old at the Keepmoat Stadium until the end of the season.
Doncaster head to Brentford on 27 April for the final game of the season – one which could determine whether either side reaches the heady heights of the Championship.
England Under-19 duty now beckons for Lundstram and fellow Everton youngsters Matthew Pennington, Tyias Browning and Hallam Hope, who are all in the squad for Thursday's friendly against Turkey.
However, Flynn hinted his loanee may have picked up an injury against Pompey.
"[John] rolled his ankle when he lost his balance as he was stretching for a ball," he said. "He'll be available for [the game against] Scunthorpe on Saturday - if fitness allows.
"He'll report for duty with England, they'll assess him and we'll take it from there."
Elsewhere, Magaye Gueye played the first half of Stade Brest's 4-0 away defeat to FC Lorient, while centre-half Johan Hammar's loan spell at Stockport County has now come to an end.
For those of you who like to keep tabs on the fortunes of former Academy players, there was an interesting hat-trick scored in League Two this weekend, left-back Lee Moylneux hitting all the goals for bottom-of-the-pile Accrington Stanley in a precious 3-2 win over relegation rivals Barnet.
The one-time Blue netted two from long-range before completing his treble from the penalty spot after a foul on, of all people, Francis Jeffers. There's an intriguing battle going on down there too; York City are 19th on 41 points with all five teams below them level just one point behind.
Look out for future blog entries on our players out on loan, as well as the Club's Under-18 and Under-21 sides.

The Word: Lorde is the youngest chart-topper since 1988
Yep, I'm officially out of touch. A week ago, I barely knew that Lorde existed. This week, she hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts with her song "Royals."
Lorde, who was born in 1996, which is a good thing to remind yourself when you want to be depressed about how much you've accomplished, is the youngest musician to have a No. 1 hit since Tiffany's 1988 song "Could've Been." "Royals" bumped Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" out of the top spot that it's held for the past two weeks.
New Zealand-born Lorde, whose real name is Ella Yelich-O'Connor, told Billboard that taking the top spot "feels like a combination of my birthday, Christmas and washing my hair after a month of doing so," because she is still young enough to enjoy birthdays.
Whatever. I don't even care that I am fast becoming with a pop star who is too young to remember 9/11. I'll buy her beer if she'll teach me to do my hair like hers.
The singer is already adjusting to life as a pop star: Earlier this week she apologized for saying something kind of mean about Taylor Swift.

If there's one beauty regime I have trouble with, it's painting my nails. I don't have the time, the energy, or the willpower to sit with a bottle of nail polish, painstakingly paint each nail, only to accidentally touch something and ruin the whole hand. As if painting my nails one color wasn't hard enough, the trends in nail art suddenly exploded and it was no longer 'fashionable' to have your nails only one color—there had to be intricate designs, patterns, themes! What was a girl to do but just stand by the wayside admiring all of those other girls with pretty nails?
Someone in the beauty industry must have shared the same pain I had and decided to take action with Nail Art Strips—nail polish strips that are dry to begin with, can be repositioned after application, and have beautiful designs that could only come with hours of work and lots of money spent at the salon—it was as if my prayers had been answered.
Before beginning work at Grocery Outlet, I was buying the same nail polish strips from CVS for 9.99 or more! I didn't realize Grocery Outlet was able to buy the strips on closeout and retail them for just $2.99! This is quite the steal, but thanks to a recent super-duper-exclusive closeout buy from Revlon, we're going to be selling these Nail Art Strips for ONLY $1.50! Now that's not just a deal, it's a "SCORE!" This was a one-time specialty buy from Revlon so stock up while you can!
Another awesome perk about Nail Art Strips: the stinky nail polish smell is SUPER minimal. You could put these on almost anywhere—it takes less than 10 minutes to do! Because of the zero dry time, you can do your nails in the car on a road trip, on the bus or train during a commute, or right before a night out!
They are fun, easy, and oh so very chic!—and MUCH cheaper than a specialty salon manicure.
TIPS: Use a basecoat to make the strips adhere to your nails better and prevent peeling…you won't be able to reposition them, but if you've played with Nail Art Strips before, you should be fine. Even though a top coat isn't necessary—I like to add one for some extra shine and protection. Your nail art (with these tips) should last about 2 weeks! And yes—these strips come off with nail polish remover.
It does take a little bit of practice, but they are VERY EASY to apply and take off—plus you're given several extra strips…just in case you mess up a little.

Feb 10 2013: According to me passion is extreme madness and liking towards something. The object and level of your passion depends upon your personality, experiences from past and available opportunities. You have to provide constant food to keep that passion ignited. For that keep meeting people who follow similar passion, read more information about it. Try to know successful examples in your area of passion. At the same time know about your capabilities and try to match them with the requirements needed to pursue your passion. A SWOT analysis is necessary in your respective area of passion. Focus more on strengths and feel good about yourself for following what you really want. Hold your nerves during hard times and keep working for the enjoyment received by following your passion...

Things you didn't know you can recycle
Tennis shoes, cell phones, appliances ... the list goes on
Did you know that you can recycle old appliances, computers and other "technotrash," and even used tennis shoes? Co-op America Quarterly offers a list of 21 things that can be recycled or reused, instead of ending up in the nation's landfills.
For instance, Nike's Reuse-a-Shoe program grinds up old sneakers and incorporates the "Nike Grind" into playing surfaces like basketball courts. One World Running makes donated shoes available to athletes in Third World countries.
Recycline makes toothbrushes and razors from plastic yogurt containers and then recycles those products once again to manufacture plastic lumber.
You can raise money for your favorite nonprofit organization by recycling stuff like cell phones, PDAs and iPods through Project KOPEG. Also, two organizations make used cell phones available to domestic-violence victims and people in developing countries.
The Basel Action Network provides a Web site that identifies recyclers of computers and other electronic gizmos. You also probably didn't know that IKEA accepts used CFL bulbs at its stores (the bulbs can't be tossed because they contain mercury), and that Dress for Success gives donated professional clothing to low-income women entering the job market.
If something you want to recycle doesn't appear on the co-op's list, it suggests, "When practical, send such items back to the manufacturer and tell them they need to manufacture products that close the waste loop responsibly."

Complex doesn't mean complicated
How recognizing product synergies at FNAC helped build a cultural icon.
Established in 1954, FNAC is France's leading bookstore and largest bookstore. It is also the chief retailer of personal computers, photography, camcorders, MP3 players, PDAs, and GPS devices.
In 1986, Interbrand was asked to develop FNAC's retail design and strategy in France.
Our formula was simple: bring coherence to an immense library with synergies between multiple product categories and an easy wayfinding navigation system.
The solution was so effective that it was adapted across FNAC's network of 131 stores throughout Europe, Asia, and South America.
Since then, we developed three additional retail models – the flagship, the downtown urban "classic" model, and the suburban "green" FNAC for the French suburbs. We've extended the first two retail models beyond France's borders, which has helped FNAC continue to be the leader in culture and technological products globally.
And as our 20-year relationship attests, FNAC is thrilled with the results.

The San Diego Chargers are kicking around the possibilities of doing HBO's Hard Knocks next season. Tom Telesco had said that he would be interested in doing the show, but didn't want to do it in his rookie year. It would be too much of a distraction for him and the rest of the team.
Come year 2 though…. the possibilities are there. Kevin Acee is reporting that the team is "mulling" the idea.
For the players and the coaches, it must be a huge distraction. Why would you want a camera invading your space like that?
For the Chargers fans, it would be OUTSTANDING! I would love to see more of Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates. I would love to see these guys putting in work during training camp. I would love to get to know the people in the organization a little better.
For the Chargers business, it could be a huge boost also. Putting the team on that forum and getting that exposure could be huge for the business.
In the end, if it becomes too much of a distraction for the players and team on their route to the Super Bowl, then we don't need it around us. Otherwise, I would love it!

Overtime contributes to factory recovery
March 24, 2000
Historically, both employment and factory overtime have increased as the economy emerged from recessions. In the most recent recovery, employers appeared to rely about as heavily on overtime as on hiring or recalling employees.
[Chart data—TXT]
From March 1991 to January 1998, the number of production workers in manufacturing increased by 601,000. Over the same period, the full-time equivalent of the aggregate overtime hours growth in manufacturing was 571,000 jobs.
The largest number of such hypothetical full-time equivalent jobs was found in transportation equipment manufacturing; industrial machinery, and fabricated metals establishments also accounted for many. Other durable goods industries with relatively large full-time equivalents included electronics and primary metals.
These data are a product of the Current Employment Statistics program. To find out more, see "Analyzing the recent upward surge in overtime hours," by Ron L. Hetrick, Monthly Labor Review, February 2000. Full-time equivalents are computed by taking the total number of overtime hours and dividing it by 40, the number of hours in a standard workweek.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, The Editor's Desk, Overtime contributes to factory recovery on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2000/mar/wk3/art05.htm (visited September 23, 2014).

text: Posted Online: May 04, 2013, 7:47 pm Augie softball wins CCIW Tourney title, nabs nationals trip Comment on this story By Tom Johnston, firstname.lastname@example.com The Augustana College softball team picked the right time to put it all together this spring. And as a result, Coach Kris Kistler's Vikings have their first CCIW Tournament title since 2007 and first trip to the NCAA Div. III National Tournament since 2010. The third-seeded Vikings capped a 3-0 weekend on Saturday, defeating top-seeded Carthage 4-0 at Carthage Field in Kenosha, Wis., to seal the CCIW Tournament title and the national tourney trip. Augie will learn its tournament fate on Monday morning when brackets are announced. "We just played really well," said Kistler after her team moved to 29-12. "We just put it all together. We had good timely hits, we played really good defense, and our pitching was outstanding." That pretty much summed up the day. All four Augie runs were scored in three innings with two outs. The defense turned three double plays. And pitchers Sarah Hintz and Ashley Anderson combined for the six-hit shutout. Offensively, Cheyenne Burnett was 3-for-3 with two runs scored and an RBI from the No. 6 spot in the batting order. No. 9 hitter Jenna Teson was 2-for-3 with two RBIs. That combination gave the Vikings a 1-0 lead in the second when Burnett singled to lead off the frame and Teson singled her home with two outs after Christina Pagan was hit by a pitch. An inning later, Burnett came through with an RBI single after Jaime Rehmert doubled with two outs. In the sixth, Augie put away the game when Teson delivered an RBI infield single and the Vikings later scored on an error. "We definitely are a team that has come up with huge hits," said Kistler, whose club has been banking on the home run ball of late but did not take any over the fence in the last two days. Hintz (13-6) gave up singles to the first two batters she faced in the seventh before giving way to Anderson, just a freshman. The former Sherrard prep then enticed a liner that turned into the third Viking double play and eventually worked out of the frame for her third save.

Alvin Wang's NUS Appeal: Facts
I was stupid enough [1] to vent yesterday on Alvin Wang's NUS appeal, and stupider to forget that the post could very well go viral, given the attention given to Alvin's appeal. So this is the last post I'm going to write on the topic. I will summarize everything we know to be true of this saga, and correct the bits where I was wrong.
What We Know
- Alvin is passionate about: programming, design, and games development. Therefore he wants to get into Computer Science, because this is the only way he can specialize in Communications and Media. He was given Information Systems. He does not want this.
- Alvin did not mention he got into NUS IS on his site. The site made it seem like he got rejected from NUS, and desperately wants to get in.
- He has appealed for CS through the official channels.
- It is possible to switch from IS to CS from within NUS. [2]
- People are pissed that he misrepresented his situation.
What We Do Not Know
- If Alvin willfully misrepresented himself in his campaign. Counter arguments to this include: a) he forgot to mention it b) it is okay to try everything in your power to get what you want c) he was being 'technically' honest d) he is not trying to deceive people, but he is not being honest either. e) no harm was done.
What I Was Wrong About
- I was wrong to speculate about his motivations for taking CS. I assumed it was because he thought CS was a better course. This is wrong: he wanted CS simply because he wanted to get into the Communications and Media Major. This is a valid reason. For this I owe him an apology. [3]
What many people: two professors, myself, and a number of observers agree on
- He wasted a lot of people's time. Being honest from the start would've still worked out in his favour. I would still have gladly supported him, had I known in advance he wanted CS(CM) instead of IS.
Now people are just annoyed at him [4].
And I need to get back to more important things. Let this be the last I write of this topic; we all have better things to do. I wish Alvin only the best of luck.
Update: final conversation with Alvin here.
[1] Time spent writing posts like this is time not spent programming, studying, or working on the book future. This is a real waste of time; I should've just shut up and kept my hands away from the keyboard yesterday.
[2] Prof Ben Leong: 'This is really a non issue. I don't think there should be much problems with a transfer. Quite common to find transfers between IS and CS and vice versa. Sometimes even in Year 2.'
[3] I'm sorry Alvin - I should've given you the benefit of the doubt on this one.
[4] "So as you might have read from the Sunday Times today, Alvin's website did not tell us the entire truth. He did in fact get into NUS School of Computing. He was offered an IS course, but he did not want that. He wanted to be in CS. I suddenly feel really annoyed at having been misled by his theatrics." http://zitseng.com/archives/3862

Site Page Comments Don't Reach Activity
I had BP working fine until I updated recently to latest BP and WP. I then lost all of my Activity comments from my blogs. I tried disabling plugins etc, reverting to buddypress default theme – nothing gives. I've done fresh installs on different servers with the same problem.
I think I've isolated the problem. Comments on PAGES is what is causing the problem. All of my recent comments are comments to pages NOT TO POSTS. If I comment to a page it doesn't appear, if I comment to a post it does. This is why lots of people have been posting with this problem here and I'm sure this has been too bizarre.

Showing terrific quickness and overall athleticism, Ferrell did a very good job using his dribble penetration to put pressure on the opposing defense and getting his teammates involved. Listed at 5'11 and sporting an average wingspan, Ferrell's size will likely always give scouts pause as his career progresses, but his tremendous ability to create offense surely gives him a fighting chance. Possessing a quick first step, great agility in the lane, and a solid frame he'll need to continue adding weight to in order to deal with the physicality of the college game, Ferrell's already pushes the ball in the open court exceptionally well. A very good ball-handler, it will be Ferrell's ability to play at different speeds in the half-court and control the game under pressure that will dictate his early success for the Hoosiers. He showed throughout the week that he can use his explosiveness to create shots for his teammates at a very good rate, even on the pick and roll, a significant plus for an Indiana program that could return a number of legitimate NBA prospects to go along with a stellar incoming recruiting class. If the Indiana native can learn to dictate tempo over the course of his freshman season and make sound decisions when driving to the rim, he'll have a huge impact on Indiana's fortunes next March. Apart from his ability to create for others, Ferrell can score in a variety of ways himself, but has a lot of room for improvement, as evidenced by his inconsistent scoring this week. Showing the ability to create sharp separation from defenders with his pull-up jumper, he can make shots both from a standstill and off the dribble, but needs to improve his shot-selection and consistency to compensate for the more athletic defenders he'll be facing at the college level. Ferrell's size limits him to some degree around the rim, as some of his drives get smothered in traffic, but his explosiveness and aggressive nature should help him adjust eventually. He'll need to become more discerning with the way he looks to score in the NCAA and become more reliable as a scorer on the pick and roll and a better overall jump shooter to offset the challenges he'll face against more athletic help side defenders. Defensively, Ferrell has the potential to be an impact player at the NCAA level. His size will limit his ability to get in the passing lanes and contest shots, but his quickness could make him a nuisance as an on-ball defender. It will be interesting to see how Ferrell manages to defend the pick and roll early in his career as teams may challenge the 160-pound point guard in the two-man game by being very physical with him on screens. Somewhat up and down at times this week, as he'll likely be as a freshman on occasion, Ferrell did his best work during the McDonald's All-American game itself, dishing out a game high 9-assists, a few of which came in half court situations against solid defense. The Indiana native's speed and ball-handling ability will bring another dimension to Tom Crean's offense this coming season, and while Ferrell will have to overcome the perceptions amongst NBA scouts about players his size, he's a player to keep tabs on in the coming seasons.

The Best of Get Rich Slowly: 2011 Edition
Published on - December 30th, 2011 (by J.D. Roth)
It's the end of another year, which means it's time for most of us to reflect on what happened in 2011, and where we'd like to go in 2012. I had a good year — though not without a few bumps along the way — but I'm eager to face the future too.
As I always do at the end of the year, I spent some time yesterday poking through the statistics to see what people came to read over the past twelve months. GRS had 11.5 million visits during 2011 from over seven million unique visitors. That's a lot of readers, and a big increase over 2010. Most of those folks came to explore pages in the site's archives (we'll see which pages in a moment).
But regular readers — you folks — are what keep the site running every day, and what keep me enthused about this project. And it's the regular readers that determine the day-to-day popularity of individual articles. Based on the stats, these were your favorite articles of 2011:
- How to learn a foreign language without spending a cent by guest Benny Lewis: "I'm here to tell you that money has nothing to do with learning a language. In this article, I'll give you several steps to learn your target language and reach a good spoken level — maybe even fluency — without spending a cent."
- How to cheat on your taxes (legally) by guest Richard Close: "When people learn I used to work for the IRS, they want in on the secret. What's the silver bullet that will help you save the most when you file your taxes? We all know about tax deductions, but which ones are worth the trouble? In my opinion, you should look at all of them."
- What are the differences between the rich and the poor?: "I think both authors are too quick to dismiss systemic causes of poverty. And perhaps neither of them has ever actually been poor. Some of their criticisms make sense, but some are grounded in a mindset of wealth."
- Is an MBA worth it? by guest Gal Josefberg: " As the holder of not one but two MBAs (it's a long story), I have a somewhat negative view of the degree. An MBA often costs a lot of money and provides very little return."
- How to save on your cell phone plan with secret no-contract deals by guest Laura Roeder: "Secret phone plans? No contracts? Unadvertised payment plans with no interest? These are all available. But you'll never know until you ask."
- Consumer Reports auto issue: Best and worst cars for 2011: "This year, the Consumer Reports website — even the part that's not behind a paywall — has more useful information than in past years. In fact, there are video reports on each of the magazine's top cars, plus other video content scattered around the auto section. Nice!"
- Why I hate "new, unique" money tips: "I get a lot of requests from reporters who want quotes for their stories about personal finance. That's fine. I'm happy to help when possible. What bugs me, though, is that nearly every single reporter pitches her story with the same caveat: 'I need tips about saving, but I don't want the same old stuff. I need new, unique ways to save money.'"
- How to lend money to friends without ruining the relationship by April: "Lending money to friends and family is a generous act — one that could easily backfire and even ruin your relationship. But when it's someone you care about, logic only plays one role in the decision-making process."
- Tax prep costs: How much will it cost to get your taxes done? by guest Richard Barrington: "One of the basic choices you'll face is whether to use an online service or visit a tax preparer for some in-person advice. In each case, costs vary greatly. But as you'll see, online services are often a lot cheaper."
- Hourly vs. salary: Which is better? by April: "In short, don't assume that salary pay is necessarily better. Every job and every employee's personal situation is different, so crunch the numbers and weigh the benefits for yourself."
- The lottery: An investment for fools (with bonus lottery simulator!): "There's no question: Playing the lottery as a strategy to gain money is a fool's game. Play the lottery for fun if you want, but don't do it because you think it's going to help your financial situation."
- Reader story: How I learned about frugality from de-cluttering by guest Claire Brown: "I'm writing to you today from sunny London about how I learned frugality by throwing things away. This may sound counter-intuitive; if being frugal is about economy and not wasting things, then throwing things away could be seen as a big admission of defeat."
- Ask the readers: How much do you spend on food?: "What does your family spend on food in a month? How much of this is for groceries? How much for dining out? Do you make an effort to control food spending, or do you simply buy what you feel like? Do you use coupons? Do you grow your own food? Is eating organic important to you? What other considerations do you make when spending on food?"
- Reader story: How I built my house without a mortgage by guest Ian: "Most of the financial advice out there is geared towards building up a big account to retire on. I figured that I would enjoy taking a different route — reducing the total income I needed to live on. With a significant reduction in expenses, it becomes feasible to live very comfortably on a part-time income, or even just income from hobbies. How do you reduce your expenses that much? Live off the grid."
I wish there were an easy way for me to collate re-tweets and Facebook likes — those would be another way for me to gauge which articles resonate with people.
Blasts from the past
Out of curiosity, I also checked the stats to see which posts from prior years remain popular. These are articles that continue to see tens of thousands of visits every year. Here's what keeps people coming back to this site:
- The best time to buy almost everything
- How to find unclaimed money and unclaimed property online
- Make more money: How to supercharge your income
- Good-bye, Microsoft Money: 16 powerful personal finance programs
- How I cut my Comcast bill by 33% without losing any service
- How to buy a mattress
- A do-it-yourself Christmas: 34 great gifts you can make yourself
- A free and simple budget planner
- How to win the lottery
- 16 ways to eat healthy while keeping it cheap
- More money: 5 ways to earn extra cash in your spare time
- Which online high-yield savings account is best?
- How to get out of debt
- Basic tips on tipping: How much and to whom?
- 27 money tips for college students
Notice a theme there? Long-term, the most popular articles at Get Rich Slowly tend to be about how to do things or where to find the best financial options (savings accounts, credit cards, CD rates, whatever). Though I like that Get Rich Slowly has a behavioral and psychological focus, I'm always wishing that I (and my writing staff) were writing more hands-on stuff. But I always worry about repeating myself. Ah, the dilemmas of a blogger…

Happy new year, everybody!
This article is about The Best of Get Rich Slowly
Keep up the good work! I only started following GRS this year after I heard about you on "Marketplace Money", but I have already learned a lot from the new articles and the archives.
The hands-on articles are great, but I find that the behavioral/psychological articles stay with me the longest and have the most long-term impact on how I think about and work with my money. Ideas like expectation management, anchoring, and sunk costs (just to name a few) are worth talking about.
I also heard you speaking on Marketplace Money and have been coming to your blog ever since! I look forward to reading the posts everyday and often look through the archives. I have also told several other people about Get Rich Slowly. Thanks for everything!
"Outsmarting Myself" and "Spend on the Things You Do Every Day" were the two stories that made the most significant psychological impact on me this year. In essence, both espouse working with Who I Am Right Now rather than Who I Might Be Someday or Who I Think I Should Be Instead.
For example, within a week after reading April's piece, I took a big pile of exercise equipment and DVDs to Goodwill, and I've been wearing my pedometer every day since. Workouts were sporadic for me at best, but walking is a daily activity. I decided I'm far more likely to hit 10,000 steps a day just going about my life than I am to stick to a separate exercise routine that requires a chunk of time and a change of clothes. The latter I've tried — and failed — to do for over a dozen years.
I thought that the reader story "What My Father's Death Taught Me About Estate Planning" was a gold mine of information. I will probably refer back to that article over and over again.
"Beating the Single-Shopper Penalty" by Donna Freedman was informative and entertaining. Even though I'm not a single-shopper, I appreciated some of the tips in the article. I especially loved how she named her freezer Chester.
One article this year linked back to April Dykman's post "Should You Buy It? A Flowchart for Evaluating Potential Purchases" from 2009. I started subscribing to this blog about a year ago, so I appreciated the link back to that very helpful older post.
I also liked the reader story "What My Father's Death Taught Me About Estate Planning". In fact, I showed it to my parents several weeks ago. My dad liked it so much, he sat down with me and my sister last night to walk us through all his estate planning. My parents were able to discuss their desires (e.g., healthcare directives, charitable giving), where everything is located (such as safe deposit keys), and his lawyer and his financial planner now have all our contact info. Thanks JD!
I third the kudos for "What My Father's Death Taught Me About Estate Planning." My one goal for 2012 is to get our estate plan in order, and I've bookmarked that article for future reference.
I thought the estate planning article was great, too. I envied the author her father's careful planning and thought.
When I went home for Christmas last week, I asked mom out of the blue, because it had been weighing on my mind partly due to the article, a question about her and dad's future plans.
I was relieved and touched to hear that she'd also done some similar things; she told me where to look for a box containing everything I could ever ask for in order to take care of them/their estate when the time comes.
I now have real peace of mind, and without that article I wouldn't likely have felt comfortable asking in the first place, let alone know what needed to be included (and was).
Great summary of well-written articles. I'm sure that 2012 will be as great, if not greater.
Congratulations to both you and your staff writers!
I'v been following this blog since JD's second year, and I love it! Keep up the great work in 2012!
Just curious, do you think your historical winners are somewhat pre-determined by the first year, as every time you do a round-up post like this, wouldn't it lead people to check out those particular posts more than other posts from those years?
Thanks for the review. I seem to have missed the articles on "Is an MBA worth it" and "How to Learn a Foreign Language". They were both really helpful.
Cheers and Happy 2012!

Nokia Quietly Retires Symbian from N-series Smartphones
Out with the old, in with the new.
Nokia announced it will retire Symbian for the popular N series of smartphones. Moving forward, the company will use MeeGo as the default operating system for the N series.
"Going forward, N-series device will be based on MeeGo," Nokia spokesperson Doug Dawson told Reuters.
The commitment to MeeGo means that the last N-series phone to feature Symbian is the N800. MeeGo followers know that version 1.0 supports ARM-based N900 phones, but that development APIs for multitouch support, Web runtime (for the creation of apps based off of web languages) and additional mobile device support for Qt are still works in progress.
MeeGo is a Linux-based open source mobile operating system that merged Intel's work on Moblin and Maemo's work on Maemo. The project was announced last February. Symbian will continue to be used in low-end phones from Nokia, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson. The MeeGo handset user experience is supposed to launch in June, according to the official MeeGo website, but unless an announcement is made in the next six days, that doesn't seem likely.
N8-00in the Nokia nomenclature the new flagship is N8-00 has nada to do with the old N800. Not confusing at all.
