Confession time! How much have you spent on Candy Crush? Tell us, and we just might pay off your bill!
Today's Talk Mobile is all about the dark side of gaming and I have a confession of my own to make: I've spent a chunk of change on my Candy Crush addiction already, and I assume perhaps so have you?
Even if you've read my top 10 Candy Crush tips, tricks and cheats, you know sometimes money is the trickiest cheat of them all. It's so easy to do! Each in-app purchase seems small enough, we're busy enough, and we want to beat the game -- and our friends scores! -- badly enough, that we're willing to pay it. And pay it again. And again. And when the rush passes and we look over our bills at the end of the month, all that candy crushing adds up to real money.
How much have you spent on Candy Crush to date? What was your most frequent in-app purchase? What was your single biggest? Let me know the details in the comments below and...
We'll pick one of you and pay off your Candy Crush bill!1
Ready? Set? Confess!
iMore will gift you iTunes or equivalent credit in the amount of your Candy Crush in-app purchase total to date. ↩
There are 99 comments. Add yours.
I wish I could enter this one. Damn you Candy Crush! shakes fist
I have spent exactly $0.99 dollars.....BUT.... I'm waiting for a new iPhone update because I already finished level 350..... Yeah, I'm that good... and lucky...
SInce I have spent so little, this will be the one time I win. I have spent .99 to date and don't intend to spend a penny more. I am currently on level 90.
Never. I've heard that people get really in to this game and get frustrated so I stay away. It's like looking to get kicked in the face.
Some days are worse than others.
I refuse to pay anything so it averages about 45 minutes to an hour a day. Some times I have to wait a day for enough tickets to get to the next level.
One of the bloggers posted the tip to change the time on your phone to get more tickets. Just don't forget to set the time back afterwards. I don't play much so I haven't spent any money yet. I'm only on level 38. I believe my wife is close to spending some money because she has been stuck on level 65 for a long, long time.
$13.79... :(
Well.... To be honest I haven't spent a dime since I do not play the game, BUT I purchased an iPad recently for my mom and linked my iTunes acct & credit card to it to "get her started" with apps. I checked my bank acct online at the end of May and she racked up $38 on Candy Crush in app purchases. I never even mentioned it cause it's like they say.... You only get one mom in life and I love her. :)
I have spent 0 on it so far... But then again, I honestly haven't played it too far either. Perhaps in the near future...
This is kind of embarrassing but here goes...
I've spent a total of $31.36; My most frequent in-app purchase were those cute, little lollipops (and maybe I licked the screen once - maybe); Those cute, little lollipops were also my single biggest purchase. Just know that I play on my iPad, iPhone, and MacBook Pro... I even purchased Facebook credits.
I have a serious problem. :|
What is candy crush?
Oh, I play my five lives in the morning and when I wasn't working I was playing my one life every half hour, that was for a couple weeks now I play my fiver was after work and five before bed. I'm on level 100, never used the time cheat and haven't spent any money on it at all. I only spammed my Facebook friends that play it as well so it usually only takes me about an hour tops to get into the next set of levels.
Never spend any money, level 275, patience is the key and a little bit of luck, 3 months already played this addictive game
Never even installed the game. Not interested in it
you should see how much people have spent on clash of clans on in app purchases!!
As of today, I have spent $21.33 on Candy Crush. I mainly purchase extra moves and the most I have paid at one time was $9.00 for extra moves. Curse you Candy Crush and that one or two extra moves needed to pass that level. I hate when you have been playing a certain level for a while and then you only need a couple more moves to beat it. Then of course it turns into a couple more and couple more.
Just went through my iTunes receipt emails. As of right now I'm at $38.96. Just started playing last weekend. I'm such a sucker. Not a lot of free gaming time, so I play before bed for 20 minutes... I just have no patience. If I can't beat a level, I just buy my way out of it.
omg Kevin! I've only spent a few bucks to unlock more levels. But I also end up being stuck on levels for weeks at a time...
Weeks at a time?! That's crazy. I can't stand being stuck for more than three tries.
Three tries?!?!? omg. You're gonna end up spending thousands on this game.
You have to remember that Kevin is the guy who spent 300 dollars on a clock app for his 9900, so seeing how much he spends on candy crush could make for a good blog post ;)
I refuse to spend money on a game that doesn't reward the player, I would rather buy the game then get a few power ups for free and then I might be more obliged to buy other power ups and cool items but when everything costs money and you can only use it for that level seems kind of greedy to me.
I have spent exactly $0.99 dollars.....BUT.... I'm waiting for a new iPhone update because I already finished level 350..... Yeah, I'm that good... and lucky...
I try not to spend anything but at this point it's been about $7.... and they were all for more moves. I don't like moving on from a level till i get 3 stars lol... i'm currently on 108
I used to care about getting 3 stars when I first started playing. That lasted until level 123+, then I could care less as long as I passed. Some levels are damn difficult and your lucky to get the 1 star.
Not speaking for myself, but I do have an employee who confessed to me the other day that she's spent nearly $250 on Candy Crush. My level of shocked silence was probably pretty damning. But seriously, who does this kind of stuff?!
Wow..........just wow. I am speechless at that amount myself!!
nothing since my phone is jailbroken and I use iappfree :D lucky me
Never heard of it? Sounds addicting glad I don't play.
I haven't added it up, but I'm around 10-15 dollars. I quit buying power ups and extra moves, now I just stick to buying the new levels.
$15 unfortunately... I was moderately relieved cuz I thought I was closer to $20, but I haven't paid in more than 2 weeks, and I'm not paying another penny.
I'm trying not to think about it... I'm on level 313 though.... None of my Facebook friends are this high within the levels, so I don't have any scores but my own to beat.
Candy what? Umm, $0.00... Maybe I'll win this contest!!! Lol
At least a $100....or more. :( IM SORRY! No one yell at me! lol. For real tho...don't :( I know it was stupid. I didn't realize until it was too late. I thought to myself "What's 99 cents?" "That's hardly any thing" "Lolly pop only 1.99? I'll just buy it a couple of times". But since then I have stopped doing that. I just bought an iMac for the first time and that's not cheap. So I have my priorities all back and in check.
I have spent around $20 and I'm on level 70.
I'm on level 96 and I haven't spent a dime. Zip, Zero, Zilch. I personally dislike the freemium model though. I would prefer to have paid up front for the game. I don't like when apps try to nickel and dime me to play them. Unfortunately it is a very addicting game though so I am hooked.
"There's a sucker born every minute." P.T. Barnum
Oh god, love this game, roughly, $50-$60
Unfortunately, I'm nearing $200. :( Have quit paying for anything now. Was purchasing color bombs to achieve 3 stars on some levels. Am on level 82 with all three stars on every level. Purchased the coconut wheel ($3.99) several times until I heard some people get them sometimes for free. Have had to pay .99 cents to enter next world every time and now my girlfriend told me she's never had to. I think Candy Crush must know I'm an idiot and doesn't give me free anything. My girlfriend has never paid anything. I am going to call Apple as I swear I haven't purchased as much as I have been billed for. I bet iMore didn't expect to see this kind of nonsense when they made the offer to pay one off. Wish I didn't have to report that high of a number. Maybe it's the first step in recovery. lol
I'm on level 109 and have paid 0. My mother on the other hand has spent over 200 pounds in the past month and a half. The woman is ADDICTED! HELP!
I just discovered CC this weekend. I will NOT spend a dime on it.
i have spent nothing as i dont play the game but my fiance is addicted to this game! Darn you candy crush!!! (shakes fist)
she has spent to this date around $75 on extra lives lol yes she has a problem. and shes only on level 54 but she insists on 3 starring everything.
Holy Ghost, just added up how much I've spent using itunes receipts that I have kept and its £291.94 GBP...... OUCHY! Hello, I need an addiction counsellor!
$AU4. Level 20. I feel dirty. :)
$0 because its a stupid game and I don't understand the obsession.
Probably about $50 or so all using iTunes gift cards, but its more than I should have spent :-( That game is so frustrating yet so addictive!
I don't crush candy. I eat candy.
I have only spent $1.98. Initially I refused to link the game to my Facebook account because I didn't want the app to be spamming my friends with game invites. I hate getting those so I didn't want the app doing that to my friends. Because of that I spent .99 to move to the next episode. It was either spend the money or ask my Facebook friends. I chose to spend the money since it was only .99. Later on I was stuck on a level for days and days if not weeks. I got so close to clearing the level once that I thought if I bought some extra moves that I would finally clear the level. Therefore I spent another .99 but unfortunately I still didn't clear the level with the extra moves. :(
I finally decided to link the game to my Facebook account and to my knowledge it only sends requests to people I select. I only send requests to ask for tickets to advance to the next level. Many friends that play automatically send me extra lives and moves without me even asking. Because of this I will no longer spend any money on the game. I'm currently on level 92. I may be there a while but I'll eventually pass it with enough tries, a little bit of luck and NO money!!! :)
Zero dollars and zero cents! However, level 65 gave me diabetes. But after three weeks of that nonsense I am back on track and on level 91. It's basically CandyLand for adults.
I hate spending money on in-app purchases, but candy crush got me so frustrated that I couldn't beat a level and I ended up spending about $8.99 on this game.
42.96 DDDDDDD: I BOUGHT THAT STRIPED CANDY THING ABOUT A WEEK AGO. Biggest mistake of my life. The game isn't even fun anymore. I also bought about three or four extra moves because I got stuck really badly on levels 38 and 50. My mom still hasn't found out, and it would be really helpful if I got all of that paid off :)
I have spent exactly $0.99 dollars.....BUT.... I'm waiting for a new iPhone update because I already finished level 350..... Yeah, I'm that good... and lucky...
I have a bunch of Facebook friends who are as me, so I have never had a shortage of lifes or the need to buy tickets... The only time I spent on the game was when I got stuck on one level (don't remember it now) which I had tried 68 TIMES! So I had to buy those extra moves to finish it...
I've never even heard of this game... doesn't sound like I'm going to bother either.
I don't know if any of you have this problem but when I accept the 3 extra moves from my friends it doesn't even give me the moves! How can a game be so chincy and greedy but yet so addicting LOL! It's their evil plan!
$0. Got to around level 70 and gave up. I despise freemium games and don't pay on principle. I don't have the patience like my wife does to play the same level over and over again.
$15.20. On the lollipops and things that look like disco balls. Haven't played the game in over a week. A week in Vegas will make you quickly forget about Candy Crush!
At least $40-$60 easy.
I am absolutely ashamed to say, I'm not sure the exact number, but I was just going through my iTunes receipts, and I had to stop myself at April 19th, my tally is $262.66. I couldn't keep going because, who spends $300 on a game? I didn't realize how much I was spending until you posted this, I was curious. what's a couple bucks here and there.... I'm averaging at least $75 a month. The lollipop hammers are what get me.
I know exactly how you feel ...You could go out and buy you a really neat game system or so much for what we have spent on a silly game . Plus you would thing King gamed would either at the very least send a thank you letter but to me they should do something . God Bless you I hope i get smart and quit the game . I am shocked they don't ask how much time we waste playing the game lol
Not one red cent. Woo-hoo!
I really didn't want to add it up. But its $53.59. Usually I pay late at night when I'm fed up with a level and ready to move on. Apparently happens more often than I thought!
I have spent numerous hours, plus a lot of money. I know in just the last month I have spent $75.00 to $90.00 on extra lives, extra turns, and the candy things.
I am so glad i don't gamble because I know I would be an addict . I have probably spent in the last month over a hundred dollars . I am seriously thinking about finding a cheat code or something that will make me sick of there games because it is so addictive to almost beat something and to be just right there and then it upsets you ...That's why I am un linking my credit card to the account so many things I could have used the money for . Plus the company that owns these games you think would reward me for spending so much money . I was stupid I just spent like $40 tonight trying to get my wife up on her levels ....I honestly feel like a fool and I know I am . Most things in life I am pretty practicle but some reason this silly game got to me ....
$123....Level 86 Baby!
Im on level 100 but i spend all day crushing sending lives and asking i wish more than 5 lives just play as much as you want or at least no timer on lives
Ok... so I've been afraid to add up what I've spent on my Candy Crush addiction, but the other confessions inspired me to face up to it. Level 181...and $162.59 spent!!! I think it is time to join Candy Crush Anonymous. Anyone want to join me?
Yes please!
I have not spent a dime-- but am a total addict to Candy Crush-- I have completed level 350 on my Android phone, and there doesn't seem to be an update-- I play on my laptop sometimes but not very convenient for me-- does anyone know if there is or if there will be an update for my phone?
I win. I haven't spend any money whatsoever to get as far as I have.
I have spent $74.65!!!! And I. Don't even know how it happened! Hammer after hammer, 5 more moves....it's so addicting. I had to cut myself off.
OMG! I'm in my 100's I just get so impatient! I need therapy!!!!
I would consider paying money on Candy Crush cheating, it's like taking away strokes at golf. I also think it is really stupid to waste hard earned money on something so idiotic, sadly a lot of people have more money than brains, but that is just my view on the matter.
p.s. Since I didn't stupidly waste any of my money, nobody has to pay my bill now do they!!!!
I recently checked my bank acc and I believe there is a mistake and I have been overcharged: 250.00 dlls total if not more! I am really upset.
Roughly $40.00......so far :(
has everyone beat on here in regards to amount spent
i listen to all the people i know talk about playing this game relentlessly. i dont play any of these games because i like money. the fact that i dont play these games for 1hr a day or more like it seems most people do and instead i read is probably why i make double everyone else around me... :-)
I don't see why ppl pay for to play this game when there is so many ways to cheat this game I can get 99 lives on my iPad and I can change how many moves you start with and stuff like that so I don't have to pay anything :)
Over the last few months I have spent about 500 gbp! Help!!!!! I can't keep on doing this but I am so addicted to this bloody game!!
I am shamed to say I paid about $50 on candy crush. This is what I add up looking at my iTunes invoices. I think I also paid some through Facebook, too, so it might be more like $60-70. A lot of times I get the extra moves, thinking just more moves will help, or if they offer the hammer. I have only bought the striped candy or color bomb once or twice and I didn't think they were too helpful. I paid to move to the next episode once, too, but find that easier to just ask people to unlock it. I have not paid for extra lives. I can't believe how addicting the game is! I totally get sucked in.
Believe it or not I have spent approx. $350.00 playing candy crush. I am on level 181. Way too much money.. I am addicted. I have stopped buying boosters and extra moves.
Wall off Shame! lol! I'd say about $200 maybe a little more..
I'm scared to tally it! Over $100 I'm sure, and I've only been playing for two weeks!! I play for at least an hour daily! Hey...this candy is fat free!!
Does anyone know the cheat for getting more lives or candies, without actually having to purchase them?
About $25 or more :(
I have spent 1267.99
I am horrified every morning when I get my iTunes invoice from the previous day and see that I have spent $10-$20 on Candy Crush, in just one day!!! And that's everyday! I know it's ridiculous.
Just completed the last level and episode, 455 and 31. Spent $670 over a 4 month period and countless hours of pure enjoyment! Looking forward to new episodes and levels!!!!! :)
it's crazy what people are spending on this app, it's so addicting, some $200 and over like this one http://insite.me/have-you-heard-of-candy-crush-it-may-cost-you-over-200/
I have spent a lot on money on extra moves hammers.. to much to count
Hello jerri, I try with this link I'm going to leave and it worked to perfection, now I do not spend much money ehhehehe.
Good luck.
After this post I actually added all payments made and it ads up to USD 175, however I have finished all levels available in iOS. Being a gamer for 30 years I quickly recognize the addiction symptoms. So the logic is to get it finished as soon as possible and consider that a couple of console games (which I would probably get less hours of play per dollar) would have similar cost.
Never bothered anyone in facebook as well, paid for level unlocks on facebook which costs a third of iOS and purchased the expensive but permanent add ons (additional lives, freeze time and one stripe per game). Occasionally bought extra moves just to get rid of a more complicated level and I am free from candy crush, until the next update which usually takes a couple of days and a maximum usd 5.
I feel so ashamed. I have not been playing Candy Crush very long - only a few months - but I'm definitely addicted. I'm on level 213. I recently went to my bank account to total how much I'd spent and what I saw made me sick to my stomach. I stopped counting when the amount reached $500. Never again, and OMG...the shame is unbearable.
I have clocked all 500 current levels, have the highest score on nearly every level out of all of my friends and I have never spent a cent! I am a geek though - I love mathematics and patterns so I look several moves ahead. There are about 20 levels all up that I don't have three stars on, so I am focusing on that. But I wouldn't spend anything because it wouldn't really be solving it.
As of this date, I have spent approximately $65.00 playing candy crush saga. This is just an
approximate amount. I may have spent more because there are times when I think I only need five more moves and it ends up being 25 more moves. LOL I enjoy the games anyway so its all in fun. Thanks for the consideration.
haha i've spent $520...
To this day I've spent $520 on Candy Crush... :/
Everything was fine until around level 300, since then I've spent £500 getting to level 512. That's around £2.50 ($4 usd?) per level!! They make it impossible to progress without the extras, the b*stards. I am trying to give up the habit, honest!

Christmas in the City (http://www.christmasinthecity.org), a 100% volunteer organization, will hold its 24th Annual Holiday Party this year and is expecting to serve more children than last year when they hosted 3,600 children & Moms living in shelters or transitional housing at their celebration. The following day, they gave out 8,000 more gifts of toys and clothing to the families of boys and girls who have fallen on hard times and otherwise might find nothing under the tree.
100% of money raised from this event will go to purchasing toys and to help fund the bus transportation needed to bring all the children and their Moms to the party!
The Seaport Hotel will be serving as a toy drop off location again this year, where you can valet your toys – meaning you can simply drive up to the hotel's front door on Seaport Lane and give them to the valet, or leave your car with the valet while you unload gifts to their lobby donation site.
Celebrity Guests include Santa Claus and Jake & Sparky Kennedy (founders of Christmas in the City). In addition to the many fabulous supporters of Christmas in the City!
Admission is a suggested donation of $20 (but larger contributions and additional toys are always welcome!)
Seaport Hotel and World Trade Center
Situated on the historic waterfront just minutes from the city's finest shops, museums and attractions, guests will find a fresh approach to hospitality in the AAA Four Diamond, service fee inclusive, Seaport Hotel and World Trade Center. For more information, please visitwww.seaportboston.com
Christmas in the City
Christmas in the City serves up a winter wonderland experience, complete with lunch, pony rides, free dental check-ups, haircuts, amusement park bouncy slides, entertainment from choirs and dancers and pictures with Santa to thousands of children and their moms or guardians who are living in homeless shelters or transitional housing. They also help families in need in the days after the event itself, leading up to and including Christmas Eve. Each child receives a gift from their wish list, with a label letting them know it was selected especially for them by Santa (with a little help from Christmas in the City's generous donors). With money tight for so many, and the need greater than ever before, we are asking for your help in getting the word out about this new drop off location and the unprecedented need.

This article discusses the procedure used to install stainless steel driver and passive radiator retaining rings on my SDA SRS 1.2TL speakers and the initial listening evaluations after installation.
Figure 1. A package from the ringmaster: driver and passive radiator retaining rings for five sets of SDA's.
Figure 2. Real, big-deal, steel rings and drilling templates...laser cut to exact specifications. I feel sorry for SDA owners who are not Club
Polk members. Such Good Perks.
1. 9/64" hex bit for the stock and new 8-32 socket head cap screws used on the 6-1/2" drivers and crossover plate.
2. 5/32" hex bit for the stock retaining nuts for the socket head cap screws.
3. 3/32" hex bit for the new buttonhead hex socket screws used on the passive radiators.
4. #1 Phillips screwdriver for the stock passive radiator wood screws.
5. Four 2" C-clamps. Two were used to hold the drilling template for the drivers and four were used to hold the drilling template for the passive radiators.
6. Flashlight for inspecting cabinet interior prior to and after vacuuming and for peering into drilled holes in cases of slight misalignment.
7. Cordless drill with a leveling indicator light to help maintain a straight, level cut.
8. Cordless power screwdriver.
9. Manual socket screwdriver.
10. 9/32" drill bit. This size drill bit is the same size as the diameter of the retaining ring screw posts. This means that I had to use the drill bit to route out the holes a little after drilling. If I had used a larger drill bit, I would incurred the risk of damaging the template holes.
11. Tyson DC-14 animal vacuum cleaner with circular brush attachment.
12. Staple gun for securing polyfill damping material to cabinet side.
Figure 3. All set to go in one more time.
Installation Procedure
The right speaker was done first and then compared to the left. Each speaker took 2-1/2 hours to complete. It was well worth the time, effort and cost.
I did not use hot glue to further secure the rings to the inside of the cabinet. The rings fit snug and I did not think glue was necessary. Plus, if I ever needed to remove the rings, glue would have made removal difficult.
1. Speaker cables were disconnected. Turning off the amplifier works just as well.
2. Drivers, passive radiator, crossover plate/circuit board, internal wiring, polyfill batting was removed. The binding post wiring was covered in plastic wrap and the end of the binding post wiring harness connector was covered with tape.
3A. I started drilling at the bottom of the cabinet and worked my way up. That way, I did not have a big pile of sawdust accumulating below me as I worked my way down. I could have put something in place to catch the sawdust, but it was much easier to just vacuum the cabinet after the drilling was done.
3B. The passive radiator template was aligned so that the existing screw holes were in the center of each template holes and secured with four 2" C-clamps. It just so happened that the passive radiator screw holes on both speakers perfectly lined up in the centers of the template holes. This was not usually the case with the driver screw holes in both speakers.
3C. The wood (MDF) is relatively soft, therefore a lot of drilling speed and pressure was not required. You want to maintain a slow, steady, straight and level cut through the wood so that the holes will be true with the retaining ring posts. The leveling indicator light on the drill was a big help in keeping my cuts straight.
3D. After the holes were drilled, they were slightly enlarged by passing the drill bit over the inside only one time.
3E. The holes and area around the holes were brushed and vacuumed.
4A. The passive radiator retaining ring has two opposing slots cut out in order to make bending for insertion easier. The ring was easily bent back into flat shape once it was inside the cabinet.
4B. The passive radiator ring posts were a snug fit, but were perfectly aligned with the cabinet holes and easily popped into place.
5A. Next I moved up to the lower driver holes. The 6-1/2" driver template was carefully aligned with the existing four holes, secured with two C-clamps, then holes drilled with the same slow, steady procedure stated in step 3C.
5B. The template was removed and the holes were slightly enlarged by passing the drill bit over the inside only one time. Driver rings were inserted through the crossover plate opening.
In only a few cases did the existing holes perfectly align in the center of the template holes. Usually, three ring posts would be perfectly aligned with three holes. I used a flashlight to peer into the misaligned hole to see where I needed to make a cutting adjustment. The adjustment was always minor, after which the ring could be pressed into place. In a few cases, the center of the existing holes matched perfectly with the template and no adjustment was necessary after the initial hole enlargement.
5C. After each driver's holes were drilled and enlarged, the holes and area around the holes were brushed and vacuumed.
6. After all rings were installed, the cabinet interior and exterior was vacuumed three times with the circular brush attachment.
7. The column of polyfill batting behind the right speaker's stereo drivers had slid down six inches. The column of polyfill batting behind the left speaker's dimensional drivers had slid down six inches. The other two polyfill columns were still in place after 20 years. During reassembly, all polyfill columns were secured to their adjoining speaker side with one 3/8" staple.
8A. The right speaker was reassembled a listening evaluation was done. After the listening evaluation, the left speaker's rings were eagerly installed.:)
8B. The socket head cap screws (SHCS) can be used to secure the passive radiator. However, the head diameter of the buttonhead hex screw (BHS) is almost the same as the head diameter of the stock Phillips wood screw. The SCHS head diameter is approximately 75% of the diameter of the stock Phillips screw. I used the BHS's to secure the passive radiators to their rings.
8C. WARNING: Since you will be securing the driver and passive radiator baskets to metal, and you are now relieved of the concern for stripping out the wood threads, you must be mindful that you must still use care when tightening the screws...especially if you are using Mortite driver seals. Remember that the driver and passive radiator baskets are made of relatively soft metal. Over tightening could cause the metal screw heads to punch through the basket rim holes. I tightened just past the point where the turning resistance significantly increased.
I used a power screwdriver to remove all screws but only used it to reinstall strews halfway down. The rest of the way was hand tightened with a regular socket screwdriver. I hand tightened a couple of turns per screw in a sequential, diagonally-opposing pattern to minimize stress on the basket rim and to assure a level seating on the cabinet face.
Figure 4. Such good drilling. I wish I could say the same of British Petroleum.
Figure 5. The gleaming ridge behind the passive radiator opening is the newly installed retaining ring. How many of you have toothpicks
stuffed in your passive radiator screw holes due to stripped threads in the wood?

Amway Center to Host 2014 NCAA Basketball Tournament Rounds
Nov 12, 2012 | WMFE - City officials announced Monday that Orlando's Amway Center will be a part of 2014's March Madness. The new downtown venue has been selected to host the second and third rounds of the NCAA Division 1 Men's Basketball Tournament.
That means eight college teams will compete in Orlando to become one of the Final Four on the way to the championship games. Central Florida Sports Commission President John Bisignano says the tournament will bring more than excitement to the Orlando area.
"From a business side, it'll generate upwards to $11 million in economic impact, meaning that the fans traveling from these eight schools will be occupying central hotels, going to our shops and restaurants, and other products and services," said Bisignano.
The Central Florida Sports Commission partnered with the City of Orlando in its bid to bring the tournament to the Amway Center, along with Orange County government, Stetson University and the University of Central Florida.
In a statement released Monday, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said, "The vision for the new Amway Center was to be able to host these marquee events like the NCAA Basketball Tournament. These events are not only exciting opportunities for our residents, but will draw thousands of people from across the country benefiting our local economy."

The Yearly Cost of Keeping a Horse
- By Michelle N. Anderson, TheHorse.com Digital Managing Editor
- Aug 01, 2012
People often say it's not buying a horse that's expensive--it's everything that comes after. From building fences to selecting a truck and trailer, horse ownership is a lifestyle choice for many of us. Estimating an average cost for that lifestyle is a bit tricky, because pricing for major horse care items (such as hay and feed) varies by region. Use this chart to create your own budget.

There are lots of things you can eat, and it sounds like your current dietary restrictions could only benefit you.
Of course you want to eat lots of non starchy veggies, including all kinds of greens, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, squash, tomatoes and some fruit. Many do well with berries, mellon and apples. You will have to test to find out what works and doesn't work for you. Lean protein such as white meat chicken or turkey and fish are good choices.
Be aware of things like 100% whole wheat bread, brown rice and small potatoes. These are foods you want to limit and again understand how they affect your blood glucose.
Things to avoid, chips, crackers, cookies,white bread, candy, sugared soda and sweet tea.
This list is by no means exhaustive but may give you some ideas to get started.
Please ask for a referral to a diabetes educator and if you don't already have one, ask if your insurance will provide a glucose meter, if not they will help you learn what is a good choice for your by being able to test your fasting blood glucose and 2 hours after meals.
You may also want to go to the library to see what books are available. Do check the publish date as they can become out dated very quickly.
my best
Have been to the library and there are so many currently dated books that I am now on a bit of overload and am looking for something that simplifies. Weighing and measuring my foods is such an extreme. I have never weighed or measured anything in my cooking, ever. I learned from two grandmothers who used their hands, and senses to tell if a recipe was right.
I am working on this. Starting during the holidays is SO HARD. I have not broadcast this as the family does not need to worry (another specialty, besides root veg cooking).
I am a big tea drinker but do not add anything, so that is one less adjustment. Finding unsugared OJ is a problem and my cranberry juice is now off he menu, I did love that, too.
My doctor has not recommended a diabetes educator and I did not even think there was such a thing. That will be the biggest help in sorting out daily things to do. My doctor is just out of med school and I like her enthusiasm but I think we both have a lot to learn together.
Again, thank you so much.
Sherry, the less confused... LOL
My cousins are fabulous bakers, thank goodness that is not my talent. But, the holiday sweet tables have been torture to look at and then walk away. I felt like an alcoholic at the party passing by the open booze bottles. I know that will fade but right now it is a little rough (and I realize far less difficult than kicking a habit but it sure felt like it.)
It is a learning curve, as you said, and a permanent life change. Your support is so helpful and I thank you!!
Sherry, a little less confused
I'm dairy, gluten and soy intolerant with a low tolerance to nuts, anything containing apple and citrus and poppy seeds i'm out right allergic to.
So for me it actually took a while working with a dietician to form a plan of attack that worked for me - so this may or may not be a good option for you, but its a possible option in general.
Eating a variety of fruits and veggies (trying for one from each colour of the rainbow in general) eating them as close to raw as possible without cooking away as much of the nutrients as possible, so to do this for the veggies its best to steam them that helps keep their nutrients where they should be, or a fast blanching in bowling water (put into a pot of boiling water count to 10 or 20 and pull out depending on the veggie).
Kick processed foods to the curb if at all possible or save for when they are necessary do to lack of time to cook - cutting down on your sodium intake can help a lot for many who are diabetic (1,500 mg a day max is target goal according to the CDA and 1,000 if you have heart issues or family history).
I can't say about cutting out potatoes or limiting rice or the like because I don't like potatoes to start with and for me rice is a staple of my deal (I use it in most of my cooking for myself without much issues in glucose control).
I do need to get to a dietician who specializes in this field. Going through so much literature has been confusing -- a bit. There are so many 'experts' and so many diet plans that right now, I am unsure what to eat besides lean meat and some veggies. I have always preferred my veggies al dente so steaming or wok cooking are methods I often use.
Right now I am unsure about beans and other legumes as the literature seems to be split on whether or not they are good or bad starches. Root veggies also have a bad rap in some articles but not in others. I am definitely on brain overload being that this is all so new for me.
Colorful meals have always been important as I know this increases the vitamin and nutritional balances in the meal. Besides, all those colors make such an attractive meal that is interesting to eat in variety and texture.
I am glad to hear that you use rice as I love brown and wild rice and use them often with steamed or wok recipes to balance the nutritional values of the meal.
Thank you, once more, and luck to you!
Everyone is different in what they can or cannot eat. Diabetics need to count carbs. That's where the nutrition label comes in. Also, you should familiarize yourself with complex carbohydrates. Carbs are converted to glucose in your bloodstream. That's why they need to be watched carefully.
A dietician would recommend to you how many carbs you can eat per meal. Each of us is different depending on our blood sugar levels and A1C. Some can eat more than others. The reverse is also true.
You've gotten good advice here from others. See if you can invest in a glucose meter to test. Has your doctor recommended you test? There are some meters and strips which are over the counter. You'd have to look online to see what the best price would be. Many popular meters can be found for free if you watch for promotions and coupons. Check out WalMart or one of the larger pharmacies first. You'll see names like OneTouch, Bayer, FreeStyle, FreeStyle Lite. These meters require prescriptions for the strips.
Be very careful in your carbohydrate consumption. All of our foods have carbs except for your proteins and fats.
I have been focusing on label reading, controlling carbs and reading/research.
My insurance will not cover a diabetic educator or nutritionist who specializes in blood sugar management. Seems stupid to me that they would rather pay to treat the disease than pay to help prevent it. Since being prediabetic is not diabetic, yet, no benefits are due. Being out of pocket, I have to have all my questions lined up and take good notes so I can limit my visits to essential items. Being on a fixed income, these consultations in my area are pretty steep. There are several hospitals in the area and I will get recommendations as to professionals in the nutritional management of my situation.
My doctor feels that I am in a bit of a panic and should relax and see what develops with a few dietary changes. I do not think so, I am a proactive person and like to head things off before they get really serious.
Getting the meter is not the problem as so many are available if you have a prescription or insurance coverage for the strips. Without that coverage there is a problem.
I am working on working the system. More reading and more research, too.
Came across a magazine called "Diabetic Maintenance". Any opinions on that publication as being worth the subscription. No, my local library does not carry it. If it is worth it, maybe an online subscription is less than a print one.
I have a lot more to do. Daily diet is definitely the one of the biggest things to work on now. Since I have cut back so suddenly and so stringently, I find myself fighting carb cravings. They will get weaker as I go on but it is a daily fight right now as ethnic heritage made them a big component in meals.
Thanks, again.
Can't you go to a Walmart or Target and just purchase your test meter and strips, you do not need a script if your purchase it for yourself? They have store brands that work well and are not that expensive.
Come follow my life's journey at:
I usually do not buy magazines that are heavy with adds for medications, insulin, pills or otherwise. My theory is that their so called "diabetic safe" meals will eventually nail me to a diabetic medication. Most of my information, recipes, etc. comes from good dietary resources, and a variety of them. It seems that everyone has a take on what is wrong with our eating today. Look at what happened with the low fat diets! Today we find that those on low fat were eating more carbs and increasing their triglycerides, and putting on the pounds. Myself, I find that low sugars, limited carbs, lean protein, lots of veggies, some fruit works fine. heck I even have a small piece of dark chocolate everyday!
Thank you!
You really give me some hope for alight at the end of the tunnel.
I really want to prevent the onset of true diabetes with diet and live style changes. Took a pass on 90% of the Holiday baked goods even though many in my family are fabulous bakers. I would look at the baked goods and see a need and vial of insulin sitting on top of the item. That image kept me away from most of them. Had to have some small tastes of Nana's items but kept the portions to just a few small nibbles and kept moving, doing more talking to friends and family than eating. That helped along with taking a small plate instead of a dinner plate.
A few steps forward and a step back, but mostly forward. For a beginner making her first big changes at the start of the Holiday Feasting Season, I have not done too badly.
Thank You and Blessings back to you and yours!!

How are you liking the new iOS 4 Home Button?
Under iOS 4, if you're using an iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS, when you double click the Home Button the UI slides up and reveals the multitasking fast app switcher "behind" the dock. That certainly fixes the problem of moving between apps quickly, but it sacrifices everything the double click did on previous iOS versions.
As recently as a few weeks ago under iOS 3 (iPhone 3.0), double clicking the Home Button would send you to Phone Favorites. Under Settings, you could change that to Spotlight Search, Camera, or iPod Controls. (iPod controls were, and remain, the default behavior of a Home Screen double click if your iPhone is locked and audio is playing). Under iOS 4, those settings are gone.
Briefly under one of the iOS 4 betas, double click would launch the fast app switcher and double click and hold would launch phone favorites. This seems like a great alternative but it disappeared in later betas and never returned. (See our iOS 4 walkthrough for more.)
Sure, with iOS 4 multitasking you can use the fast app switcher to quickly get to the Phone App, and saved state means that if it was last on Favorites, it will return you right back to favorites. There are also widgets just to the left, which are slightly more complicated to get to but do take the place of popup iPod Controls. So, in some ways, the loss of old functionality is mitigated somewhat by the addition of new functionality -- but not the loss of elegance.
Perhaps the settings could return but instead of choosing what launches on double click, there could be a way to pin Phone Favorites, Spotlight, or Camera to the first spot in fast app switcher when it's launched. It would be one additional action -- click, click, tap instead of just click, click -- but it would be usable. Better yet, triple click can currently be assigned to bringing up the accessibility options. If you turn that off, how about letting us re-assign the triple click to the old double click options?
In the meantime, let us know what were you using double click for under iOS 3, if you miss it under iOS 4, and if you've found any good work arounds for it? Or is the new fast app switcher and widgets enough?
There are 50 comments. Add yours.
I used to make the double click bring up iPod controls, but I don't really miss it. I lock my phone most of the time anyway so iPod controls still work. I'm surprised Apple hasn't allowed more complex gestures on the iPhone. The Mac is loaded with gestures. I guess the could at least give triple click or double click/hold. The Sbsettings swipe is great too.
jailbreak + activator
oh how i love jb
Totally hit the nail inthe head! I really miss this function as I use the iPhone to play music all the time. It's a pain without the double cluck (and at a push would rather have it back!). I did search & notice about the triple click option. big sigh
There's definitely something out of sync here, as I can still use double-click on lock screen (on my 3GS running iOS4) to get iPod controls... Just as I did on previous versions.
Not that I did use them, or will though. (But I love the widgets on the left of slider, that let's you control ANY music app running, not only iPod app)
I agree. Double tap to phone favorites was nice to have. I wish they would come up with a replacement for that.
I used it for favorites on my 3G. I just discovered voice control yesterday for dialing. Might be able to handle my favorites list.
I used to have the home dbl-tap set to Favorites, and it didn't have much utility, so I set it to iPod control. Since I never try to operate the iPod functionality, getting to playback controls isn't that hard, so I felt no loss. Now I double-tap the home button like a madman, task switching is good to me.
I understand the pangs that the people who had it set to camera though.
This is why Activator is so great. Letting you set what any button or swipe gesture on the screen does is a very powerful feature. And unlike the old choices Apple gave you, with Activator you can set any app or action you want.
It is working pretty well with iOS4 right now, but it is currently in RC still though. For updates you can follow the developer at http://twitter.com/rpetrich
First couple of times I missed it but now I don't. I like the logic of the 'multitasking' bar better. More practical...
Double-click for iPod. I listen to tons of podcasts. Still waiting on iOS 4.0.1 before upgrading, but it appears I would have to retrain with double-click, then swipe-right.
I tried double-click for favorites and camera before, but it appears I don't use those function all that much. ;)
i still find the whole multitasking / fast app switching completely worthless.
When a jailbreak is finally released I hope they have backgrounder use the current design / look of the "multi tasking" but get rid of saved state etc.
Waste of time when hardly any apps support it and i hate how all my apps go into the task bar. Annoying
Double click for camera was my set-up. Miss it alot since I use the camera more with iPhone 4. And scrolling thru all previously used apps in the fast app switcher is a pain.
No problem here , kind of like it. Your favorite apps should be there already if u use them by default!
I used it to quickly open the camera and I miss it! Unbelievably stupid decision of Apple to remove the double-click-and-hold shortcut...
Why are people saying jailbreak? Steve Jobs specifically said not to jailbreak your phone. It makes it unstable and open to malware. Besides, everybody knows what jailbreaking is and what it does so you people can stop the proselytizing.
Thanks for writing about this as it has been something that I have severely disliked about iOS4.
I used to use double click for favorites to quickly call regular contacts. This was very helpful when driving as it was quick and not distracting. Now, I have to double the amount of time and triple the distraction to do the same thing.
Any new OS should make it easier to make phone calls on a smart phone, not more difficult. When I am using the apps function on the iPhone, I am usually sitting somewhere and have more than enough time and focus to make a few extra swipes. While in my car I have never had to quickly switch apps as often as I have had to quickly make a phone call so my eyes stay more on the road and less on the phone. Sure, there is Voice Control, but I have a ton of contacts and so it is not as accurate most of the time.
Apple really needs to address this and make it more customizable. As amazing as the iPhone and all its wonderful apps are, it is a phone after all. Shouldn't its main focus be making calls as quickly and easily as possible?
I honestly believe that the UI needs an overhaul. This guy from Palm they hired is probably gonna bring the iPhone some major changes. It's just gonna take another year or so. I'm all for the multitasking but there has got to be a way to implement the things we lost in the double click. But it seems with these Android blunders in sales and not having all of the things they need in hardware for devices is giving Apple time to work all these things out. I'm a 3GS user and I love my device but this process is so slow at times.

i lol'd
Glad you wrote about this - my muscle-memory STILL hasn't adjusted to the way I used to pull up Spotlight search. Given that you can use double-click for fast app switching, the shortcut to other controls isn't greatly missed - but there is no quick way to get to Spotlight search without first getting back to the home screen, from what I can tell. So yeah, its a bummer that the feature is locked with no way of setting it as a preference.
Don't be a dick, iOS4 has only been out 3 weeks, some apps have been updated for save states, I would expect most if not all new apps will, and the rest need the devs to get their finger out their arse and update them.
Personally as an ex-jailbreaker I think the way Apple have implemented multitaksing is FAR better than backgrounder & proswitcher.
Used the double click to Access the Camera, and i really miss it! Any Solution (double and Tab or Triple) is Vetter than the Status quo.
My double click used to be my camera. With 2 young boys I take alot of pics and it was easy to pop the camera up. Sure do miss it.
Didn't use the double-click before, don't understand the purpose of it now. Only needed when an app won't reload and needs to be closed out.
With Voice Control I rarely used the double click anyway.
If I want to call anyone, not just favorites, I just tap and hold the home button from anywhere & say who I want to call.
Also, for spotlight, you can get there by tapping twice with a short pause between the two taps anyway. So that's not a big deal for me.
The iPod controls are already in the task switcher, so that's no loss.
The one item is the camera. But I already leave that icon on my 1st home page along with my other most used apps. So just tapping the home button gets me back to that screen for a fast launch. (And with folders on my other screens, I went from 11 screens to 3, so there isn't much swiping back and forth anymore anyway.)
So I haven't missed the double tap changes much at all.
I miss it, I miss it, I miss it. I find myself unintentionally multi-tasking several times a day, even though it's been 2-weeks since upgrading. Seems like we need to keep remindingtjem this is an iPHONE. I hope Apple listens on this one.
I feel Dan's pain to an extent. While I like Apple's implementation of multitasking more than he seems to, I wish I could exclude some apps from going down to the multitasking area. I tend to manually clear them out if I know the app does not support saved state or any of the other multitasking processes.
I really miss the old functionality. I would use double click of the home button to bring up iPod controls or the camera if I planed on going somewhere I planned on taking a few photos. And when I wasn't playing music it would go to my phone favorites. It was pretty sweet. The new way sort of works but not as nicely as I would like. I also miss all the extra info we would get on the iPod popup like track info, volume slider, and audio sources (when using Bluetooth). Wish we could have the old double tap behavior back with the fast app switcher being 1 of the choices. With folders and a little icon juggling though, I wouldn't miss the app switcher if I could have my old controls back.
The double clicking home button still takes you to the iPod controls if the phone is locked. This is when I use this feature anyway. If your in the phone, there are a number of ways to go to the iPod controls, one being you double click the home button and slide to the right. It's a slight change but I think still works really well.
i miss the old functionality. i used to use it for the camera.
i think the double click quick launch could be replaced by holding both + and - volume buttons for a moment and up would pop up the camera or ipod controls.
Having all your apps go into the taskbar is extremely annoying especially when it takes awhile to actually close them. It brought my 3G to a crawl so I just rejailbroke and disabled that feature. I much prefer backgrounder and proswitcher hd on my iPad because it only background what I want and when I want it to. It works to leave everything open on osx but that's because the dock holds more than 4 items
I'm not sure why they limited it to that bottom 1-row space. They could have made 2 rows. Top row would be the screen lock and iPod/music app controls and remain static (eliminating the need to swipe left). While the task switcher remains movable at the bottom. If you want to go further, you could fill up the double-click screen with a search bar, camera app, and hopefully in the future-notifications & widgets. I dunno, seems like an idea I'm hoping to see on iOS 5.
I understand the folks that used double click for camera, missing that. But double click for favorites makes no sence to me. The phone icon is in your dock so it's available any time. And if you last used favorites it will be favorites next time too.
I am very bummed this feature disappeared in iOS 4.
I used the double tap to camera feature ALL THE TIME.
Now whenever I see some retarded kid on the street it takes like 5 minutes just to go and open the camera from the home screen...
+1 for adding a PHYSICAL camera button on the next iPhone...I'm one of those missing the double-click Camera.
iPhone cameras have been the BEST out of all my phones, and the hardest to make instant use out of. IOS4 just makes it worse. :-(
Used it for iPod. Don't miss it.
@Devin. I don't know what POS iPhone you're using, but if it's taking 5 minutes, format and reinstall.
I spoke to a guy in Apple Genius Bar about my concern of not being able to double-click the home button to call my favorite contact in iOS4 and he told me that I can just disable multitasking. I went home and searched but found that multitasking cannot be disabled except for jailbroken phones. LOL!
I'm JB and I've had MusicControls installed from cydia for about a year now. In iOS4 when you double tap, not only does the mutli-tasking bar pop up on the bottom, but iPod(pandora, slacker, etc) pops up at the top of the screen, so you never have to swipe to the left. It's one of my favorite JB apps.
see it in action here: [IMG]http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af226/MyIPscreen/photo1.png[/IMG]
I also had my double click set to open my camera and it's the one thing I miss the most in iOS4. I've tried to use activator to set the slide in from bottom of screen gesture to open the camera, but everytime I try to set it, the app crashes. Any one else having this problem?
Activator: [IMG]http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af226/MyIPscreen/photo-1.png[/IMG]
Other than that, I'm loving the save state and fast app switching, backgrounded music and location awareness services.
I used it for favorites, and miss it.
The new version of "Activator" is out and they fixed all the bugs crashing the app, which means I have fast access to my camera again!!! So iPod controls/fast app switching on double tap anywhere in the OS and Camera access on a simple swipe from the bottom of the screen anywhere in the OS too!!! Love it!
I have never used it although I had it assigned to iPod controls. I doubt I will miss it since I've never used it on any of my iphones in 3 years.
I used to use it for the Camera >_< not much of a prob though, since folders = 1 homescreen and I have the Camera on the top row with 3 other apps, rest are folders.
I use the double-click for iPod controls only when the phone is locked, so iOS4 doesn;t impact my behavior there. Search is easy enough to get to by clicking once to get to home screen, then clicking again or swiping left to bring up search. Camera and the other 11 apps I use most are on the home screen. The rest are either loose on the second screen or in folders on the second screen. Have set up one folder for games, one for guitar apps, and three for seldom used, rarely used and never used apps that I don't want to throw off the phone yet. Am trying the folders thing starting just now, so I don't know if I'll like it or not.
@ghostface - If Devin is using an iPhone 3G it very well may have taken that long to open the camera app. The iPhone 4 was a huge breath of fresh air for me in the speed department!
They also took away the separated lyrics and podcast info. You used to be able to touch the album art area and make the lyrics and podcast info go away but keep the progress indicator but now they both disappear so you end up having to disable the lyrics and podcast info if you want to keep the progress indicator in view. I wish they would stop taking away features that I use.
Used it for the camera it was fast and I always got those quick shots I wanted. I thought the "buttons" on the side would help out with this or aleast the volume button could be used to take a picture, its hard to take a one handed pic without looking at the screen. lol
I'm very confused. I've upgrade my 3G to iOS4. I've experienced some performance hits and started looking for solutions. I had hoped accessing the Multitask Bar and closing some apps would help. However, when I double tap the home button, I get my phone favorites, just like I have always gotten. When I go to settings, I still have an option for Home Button double tap (Home, Search, Phone Favorites, Camera, iPod). I do have iOS 4. I've confirmed it in Settings. Also, I have folders, unified Mail, iBooks, etc. It sounds like other don't have that option anymore? Any ideas would be much appreciated.
I just got my IPhone4 up and running and have had a Iphone since they came out....I REALLY miss the double click to open favorites, which I had set to open Ipod controls. Since my phone is ALWAYS locked, I HOPE they give us the ability to bring up the IPod controls when locked!!!!!!!!
I used it for favorites. All the time. I have no use for the multitasking fast app switcher and wished they would give us the option to use it as we wish. Oh, and I hate that the switch on the iPad is now a mute button (jet sayin')
I miss the double click to show favorites!

Hurricane Sandy has picked up ferocity as it hits the east coast.
The National Hurricane Center reports that the sustained wind speeds are up to 90 mph. The Greater Boston, Cape Cod and Rhode Island areas should feel the full force of Sandy this afternoon and into the evening. Effects of Sandy should stretch into Tuesday and possibly into Wednesday.
Meteorologist Chris Lambert is reporting the wind speeds could reach 70 mph along the coastline this afternoon with inland wind more in the 40-60 mph range with lesser wind speeds the farther you go inland.
The National Hurricane Center expects hurricane force winds on the Cape and Rhode Island and tropical storm force winds north of the Cape to the Merrimack Valley in Massachusetts.
Rain should be in the area of one to two inches, but the major problem remains the winds and possible coastal flooding.
Meteorologist Pete Bouchard called Sandy a "storm of record" and "epic coastal storm" this morning.
Check back with Patch for the latest about this storm.

-The ALL-PERVASIVE INTELLIGENCE NETWORK of the Empire brings word of exciting new foreign ways of doing things, very tempting for someone with power and a high opinion of themselves to implement!

-The forces of Nobgrub are crippled by their DRAINED COFFERS, and their continuing INTERNAL STRIFE leaves them with nowhere near enough forces to seriously garrison all their massive conquered territories, so much of the lands can be taken uncontested!
-Flimsywhimble's EXCEPTIONAL AIRFORCE, POWERFUL ARTIFACTS, MIGHTY BEASTS, and even PLUCKY WARLORDS are well suited to locating and then utterly smashing those few forces who are being kept in proper military orders!
-Flimsywhimle's SAGE ADVISERS have had plenty of time to prepare an effective strategy for achieving their VICTORIOUS DESTINY!

It's how the game is designed. Traits do not have persistent memory, and things outside the traits are of arguable existence at best. There are no "regular coffers"; Nobgrub has no other financial traits that you can invoke to support that idea (though you could cobble something together with your other traits if you really wanted to make the argument). The DRAINED COFFERS don't remember ever belonging to Flimsywhimble, and they don't care that they were given away; they are simply DRAINED COFFERS and have to be worked with from there.The Colonel wrote:(The drained coffers thing does not make ANY amount of sense. Really? )
Yes, and Flimsywhimble then assaults their forces, capturing their most ADEPT CASTERS and forcing them to seize control of the VAST GOLEM ARMY in Flimsywhimble's name!Stoneheart overcomes its War Weariness and invades Nobgrub surrounding and laying siege to its capital!
