What we heard: 2010 has seen a number of PSP2 rumors and reports surface. The most recent is a pair of photos purporting to show off a development kit for the platform, the existence of which was confirmed by an EA executive last month.
The photos appear to confirm the handheld will indeed--as rumored--have two analog thumbsticks, one more than the current PSP. They also show the device as having both forward and backward-facing cameras, as well as a D pad and the four iconic PlayStation buttons. The device looks to have a built-in microphone and HD screen, as well as the rumored touch-sensitive trackpad on its rear.
One thing VG247's photos do not claim to show is the PSP2's final form factor. According to its source, the photos are of the first PSP2 dev kit, which had a sliding chassis similar to that of the PSP Go. The newer models apparently resemble the PSP-3000, a change reportedly prompted by dev kits overheating.
The official story: Sony had not responded to requests for comment as of press time.
Bogus or not bogus?: Looking not bogus. The photos match previous rumors, and the conspicuous "NOT FOR SALE" notice on the unit's back makes it look like a prototype of sorts.

Sometimes, all you can do is listen and watch in awe. That's what happens when 12-year-old Mae Ya Carter-Ryan opens her mouth and the voice of a powerhouse jazz-gospel song emerges. She and 12-year-old cellist Charlie Zandieh are among the kids in cable's "Young Marvels." Here's the story I sent to papers:
By MIKE HUGHES
LOS ANGELES -- Young people, TV keeps telling us, are good
at dancing, cooking or singing pop songs.
Now one show, "Young Marvels," reminds us that there's much
more. Meet:
Charlie Zandieh, 12, a cellist. "I started
realizing that … my emotions were coming out when I was playing," he said.
Mae Ya Carter-Ryan, 12, whose little-girl
speaking voice turns into the jazzy sound of a mezzo superstar. "I see myself
being on a big stage, singing in front of millions of people," she said.
Or the others. Among boys, there's an opera singer,
11; a blind pianist, 13; and two dancers, ballet, 14, and ballroom, 8. Among
girls, there's a dancer, 13, and there's Mabou Loiseau; at 8, she plays the
piano, plays the flute and sings in eight languages.
For some, this is logical. Charlie's parents and two
brothers are all musical. "I think my dad actually chose the cello for me," he
said. It was a good choice; this year, he won a Juilliard School competition.
And for others, this is a huge detour in a family with
little music background. Mae Ya was 7 when she asked for singing lessons,
recalled her mother Ina:
"I said, 'Sure, I'll give you voice lessons.' And I had no
intention of giving her voice lessons. She was already taking piano lessons,
and I just brushed it off ….
"One Saturday morning, a year later, I heard her singing
upstairs. And she was singing her heart out. And my mouth dropped open and I
said, 'Oh my God, she can actually sing!'"
Even Mae Ya was surprised. "Everybody would say, 'Oh, you're
awesome; you're great,'" she said. "And I'm like, 'Oh, thank you.' And then my
mom started to tape and I heard me and I'm like, 'Wow!'"
Others were wowed,
too. With most of the arts programs now eliminated from Chicago's schools, her
mother says she's often racing to private lessons. "I am a single parent, so it
is sometimes extremely difficult. A lot of sleep is lost, running to work,
running home from work to take her."
Kathy Zandieh also knows the drill, taking Charlie to his lessons
at Juilliard. They live in Long Island, where school music programs thrive and
seem to boost other skills.
"It has helped math, science," she said. "All three of the
kids are phenomenal students …. I think it would be a sin, almost. To take
music away or the arts away from school."
It happens, often. And despite it all, young marvels keep
"Young Marvels," 10 p.m. ET Wednesdays, Ovation
(via cable or satellite)
12-part series; the second part airs July 23

Life Inside The Box

Let The Training Begin
Today I started training for my short-lived dream job--working at the Operation Christmas Child processing center near Baltimore.
I am totally overwhelmed by the amazing job the staff has done over the past few weeks in transforming a bare warehouse into a warm and inviting collection center (well, it's not literally warm--the place is downright chilly and I never took my coat off all day.)
It's interesting how perspective changes when you're looking at things from a new angle. A few days ago I was advising relay center volunteers who were lamenting about over-filled boxes to "rubber band them tightly and send them on to the processing center."
Now I'm at the processing center where the final decision has to be made about those over-filled boxes. Our supervisor reminded us again about maintaining the integrity of the box and said that if the box absolutely will not close it will need to be sent to the Shoe Box Hospital area where the items will be transferred to a larger box. It would be so much easier if every box arrived at a relay or collection center being filled "just right" but, of course, we don't live in a perfect shoe box world.
Even though I got the chance to practice processing boxes, my actual job this year is to help manage the Gifts-In Kind--donated items used as fillers if inappropriate items need to be removed from boxes.
As I looked at these rows of cartons donated by companies, trying to memorize which stacks of boxes contained which items, it was like looking at my storage container times four. These have to last until all the boxes are processed, so I will be praying for wisdom in how to manage the stock.
As cartons of donated filled items arrive from relay and collection centers I will need to make sure they are inspected and, in some cases, itemized for receipt purposes.
Another one of my duties is to supervise volunteers who will be serving to prepare fillers (bagging the soap, opening packages, etc.)
It's like taking shoe box packing to another level entirely. Let the training begin.

One More Box
My friend, Pam Hatchell, put out a challenge in a Facebook group for all of us to pack "one more" Operation Christmas Child shoe box in honor of Mary Damron.
Mary is affectionately known as "The Shoe Box Lady" and she has an amazing story. Back when Operation Christmas Child had barely begun in the United States, Mary felt a calling from the Lord to collect 300 gift-filled shoe boxes from her neighbors in her 'holler' in West Virginia. (note: I believe this was her initial goal but I can't find confirmation of that anywhere right now.)
I wish you could hear her tell the story. Her daughter had typed up some flyers to take around to her neighbors telling them of her goal to collect 300 boxes. That night as she lay in bed Mary says Satan "came against me" and told her she would fail...that "no one will listen to you."
In faith, Mary got up and crossed out the number 300 on every flyer and changed it to 1,000. She ended up collecting 1,256 boxes which she loaded into a borrowed truck and, with her family, delivered to Boone, North Carolina.
Since that first delivery in 1994 Mary has became a national spokesperson for Operation Christmas Child and the Lord has used her to recruit millions of boxes for children around the world.
Whenever Mary speaks, she always encourages us to trust God to do more. By God's grace we can always do one more box.
So, here it is, Mary--one more box packed this morning for a 10-14 year old girl--ready to bless her in the name of Jesus.
Will you pack one more today? Do it in honor of Mary but do it for Jesus.

Pack and Burn
A few days ago I thought I was nearly done with packing Operation Christmas Child boxes at home. I love to put a few tool kit boxes together every year, and this year I got most of the tools for free at Harbor Freight. When I got them assembled my total for home packing was at 555 boxes, and my items were just about gone.
Then on Monday I went to Walmart and found over 400 cute small notebooks and 38 pairs of adorable sandals.
Then I stopped at a local thrift store and chose 120 stuffed animals. I waited in line to pay for them (they usually sell them to me for .10 each) and the cashier ended up giving them to me at no charge. Hmm--I could see more shoe boxes in my future.
On Tuesday afternoon a kind woman stopped by with two bags of pristine Webkins.
And, so, the packing continued...
By late afternoon yesterday I was at 667 boxes when I ran out of crayons and toothbrushes. We were going to church for an all-church worship night last night, so I took a flashlight with me and my husband and I ventured into that dark storage container and dragged out more crayons, paper, toothbrushes, water bottles, and some baseball hats.
During one portion of worship last night we kept singing over and over and over and over again the phrase "Our hearts burn for You" or maybe it was "My heart burns for You"--I can't really recall even though we sang it so many times.
The entire time I kept asking God if this was really true in my life. Does my heart burn for You, Lord? I want it to. I am praying that it will. I don't want my life to be so caught up in even something as good as packing Operation Christmas Child boxes that I don't love Him as I should.
I am trusting the promise in Philippians 1:6 that "He who began a good work in you (me) will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus."
Meanwhile, here's what I woke up to this morning.
It's a perfect day for this retiree to snuggle in and pack shoe boxes...and pray for my heart to burn.

Clucking and Clicking
Well, this picture wasn't taken at Chick-fil-A yesterday--although it was warm enough for us to be outside yesterday.
We were inside collecting Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes. Each person who brought in a box was given a coupon for a free chicken sandwich.
We only have one Chick-fil-A store in our area of Northwestern PA and we are incredibly blessed by their partnership.
You could almost hear the happy clucking of the chickens as we clicked off box after box toward our goal of 55,700 boxes this year--each one ready to bless a child in the name of Jesus.
Over 200 boxes were collected yesterday. That's a new record!
And that's a lot of clucking and clicking.

Lord Ask Us How
I'm taking a little break from the evening's work of packing more Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes. And I'm sitting in my living room staring at the lettering on a cardboard box. I know it's probably from a local company called "Lord Corporation" but its message makes me ponder....
Lord, ask us how.
--Lord, ask us how we think we can come up with a better plan than Yours.
--Lord, ask us how we think we can lack anything when You have promised us everything.
--Lord, ask us how we can waste the resources You've given us--time, talents, money--when so many in the world have never heard of Your love.
--Lord, ask us why we aren't "about the Father's business" just like You were.
And when He asks us...what will we say?
Okay...I'm heading back to pack a few more shoe boxes now...
Because every box packed means one more child will have a tangible way to know God's love.
Every one might be an answer to the Lord's questions.

Getting It Together
People often ask me, "Do you like retirement?" I have to say I love it. I love that I can wake up in the morning with no idea what I will be doing and then come to the end of my day finding it full and fulfilling.
This morning I did an interview on our local Christian radio station at 8 am and then hit Target on the way home. Their Halloween items went to 90% off this morning and I scored nice socks for .20 a pair, T-shirts and boxer shorts for .59 each and some fun flashlights and stuffed animals.
After returning home I went on an errand with my husband and then got a message that four more large cartons--the remainder of our order of baseball hats--were delivered to our church. After last Friday's delivery of 48 cartons this one was tiny, but I still needed to deal with it. The problem was--I'd already made an appointment to get my hair cut on the other side of town and meet someone to give them a supply of OCC boxes at the same time.
So....my husband and I passed some fun time together putting caps on another 1000 water bottles and he graciously loaded the cartons into my car. My trusty cohort Pam and I made plans to meet at the storage container at 3:30 pm, after my appointment.
A few hours later Pam and I stood in front of the container wrestling boxes of hats. We opened them and found we could save a bunch of space by combining the boxes. We were able to consolidate four cartons of boxes into two. This made me wonder how much space we could have saved by opening the other 68 cartons we've already stored and consolidating them?
I will never know.
We finished putting the lids on the rest of the water bottles and got the last of them stacked neatly in the container just as twilight clicked away. Thank goodness for that flashlight app on my cell phone. I am so relieved the lids are on all 149 cases of water bottles and Pam worked her storage magic so they are snug and tight (and I do mean tight--like rammed in there with a battering ram tight.) No wasted space there.
I cruised out of the parking lot just in time to drive to the next event--a youth packing party at Erie Christian Fellowship Church. Truthfully, I was tired and not excited about going. But that changed in a hurry when I saw their well-prepared tables lined with wonderful items.
I had such a great time watching the kids pack 144 boxes to bless a dozen dozen children. It's going to take some strong rubber bands to get those boxes truly closed.
These days are really full but what joy to see the year's work finally coming together.

Interrupted By Heaven
My 101-year-old mother has been failing over the last few months. Last Thursday I visited her twice in her nursing home. When I was there in the morning I put my head on her chest and said, "I love you," and in a weak but understandable voice she replied, "I love you." That was my last conversation with my mother. When I came back in the evening she was totally unresponsive and I received a call at 5:00 am on Friday morning with the news that she had, as I wrote in her obituary, "left her frail body behind and danced into her true home in heaven."
The past few days were a whirlwind of preparations for her funeral celebration--locating old pictures, scanning and copying them, and arranging them on display boards; copying and sorting pictures to give to family members; choosing music and pictures for my daughter to assemble into an amazing video which you can view by clicking here; creating a bulletin for her service and copying it just an hour before the service; preparing comments to share at her service; finding suitable outfits.
In the middle of all that I had to clear my house of the mess created by packing Operation Christmas Child boxes so my family would have a place to stay when they returned home. All the items I'd dragged out of the attic two weeks ago were toted back up to the attic.
All that activity kept me pretty busy but by God's grace there was still time to think about the wonder of Mom being with Jesus. It will take some getting used to for me to realize I can't pick up the phone and call to ask her a question.
My father died in 1977 and it's strange to know I'm now an orphan. But I am holding onto God's promise in Psalm 68:5 that He is "A father of the fatherless."
The weather was glorious for the funeral yesterday, and her service was truly glorifying to God and a fitting tribute for Mom's life. My brother is a pastor, and many were praying for him as he officiated at the funeral and preached an amazing homily with a clear gospel message.
After the burial, my family and I took a flower from Mom's arrangements and put it on the grave of my sister who died in infancy 50 years ago. I like to think about them being together again.
This morning my three daughters all left to go home. I couldn't stop thinking about all the organizing that needs to be done in our storage container, so I called Pam--my faithful right arm OCC team member--and we made arrangements to go to work there.
When I pulled up at the container the Fed Ex truck was there and the first shipment of the 10,395 baseball hats I ordered was being delivered. I didn't know it was coming; God was so gracious to allow me to be there and to send Pam to help.
We had to move 100 cartons of water bottles that still need to have lids put on them so we could stash the hats in the back of the container. It's hard to believe how much stuff there is in that container in October.
After an hour and a half of maneuvering boxes all over the place we put lids on 250 water bottles then loaded my car with cartons of them to take home.
This evening I hauled them into my house and my husband and I spent some quality time together putting lids on 900 more bottles.
Now, as I take a little time to sit and think, I'm interrupted again by thoughts of heaven. I think of children and adults all around the world whose lives still hang in the balance.
God is "not willing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance." It feels like time is getting short. No other investment of my time or money should ever interrupt the mission of bringing others to heaven.

New Release: Mates of State: Mountaintops
By Tom Breihan on June 24, 2011 at 11:30 a.m. EDT
Artist: Mates of State
Album: Mountaintops
Release Date: September 13
Label: Barsuk
Mates of State Cover Girls, Belle and Sebastian, Death Cab on Covers Album
By Tom Breihan on April 7, 2010 at 1:20 p.m. EDT
This summer, the married indie pop duo Mates of State will release their very own "The Spaghetti Incident?". Crushes (The Covers Mixtape), their album of covers, was recorded and produced by Jason Hammel and Kori Gardner themselves. The LP includes versions of songs by Belle and Sebastian, Death Cab for Cutie, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, and (somewhat shockingly) the Mars Volta.
Over on the duo's website, you can stream and download (in exchange for an email) the album's opener, the Mates of State take on Girls' "Laura". It involves DJ scratching and it sounds absolutely nothing like the original.
News in Brief: Mates of State, Ether Festival, Josh Freese, the Life and Times
By Tom Breihan on April 2, 2009 at 5:35 p.m. EDT
-- The adorably adorable married duo Mates of State have clearly always been missing one crucial ingredient in their music: sick-ass beats. On April 14, Barsuk will fix that problem with the release of Re-Arranged: Remix Vol. 1, the first in a planned series of Mates of State remix EPs. This one, which will be available digitally and on 12" vinyl, will feature the likes of the Mae Shi and Flosstradamus. Mates of State are currently on tour with Black Kids; in honor of the tour's kickoff, RCRD LBL is hosting a mash-up of the two groups created by Mad Decent artist DJA.
-- The deeply cool Ether Festival will take over London's Southbank Centre April 9-24. Among this year's performers: David Byrne, Rรถyksopp, Fever Ray, Peaches, the Very Best, Jason Pierce and Matthew Shipp as Spaceshipp, Squarepusher, and Mouse on Mars soundtracking Werner Herzog's Fata Morgana. There are also talks with Brian Eno, Fennesz, and members of Gang of Four and Public Image Ltd.
-- On April 14, Vandals/GNR/Devo/Nine Inch Nails drummer Josh Freese will release his solo album Since 1972, on which he plays nearly every instrument. But the album is already available from his website in 11 different price packages. If you pay $7, you get a digital download of the album and some videos. But if you're willing to drop $75,000, you'll get the album, a T-shirt, one of Freese's drum sets, a limo trip to Tijuana and a trapeze lesson with Freese, and Freese will write and release an EP about your life story. And he'll either join your band or come to your house and be your personal assistant for a month. (Sorry, but the slightly less elaborate $20,000 version involving miniature golf with members of Tool and Devo, and the $10,000 version involving massages, Disneyland, and a Volvo, are sold out.) "It's a prank that isn't a prank," says Freese.
-- Also on April 14, Kansas City post-punkers the Life and Times will release their album Tragic Boogie via Arena Rock. No word on whether they'll be your personal assistants for $75,000.
Pep Overload! Black Kids and Mates of State Plan Tour
By Ryan Dombal on January 14, 2009 at 6:00 a.m. EST
Black Kids are an indie-pop band that put an album out last year called Partie Traumatic that got (let's say) mixed reviews. No matter, the Florida five-piece is soldiering on, bringing their Cure-lite tunes to girls and boys who may or may not want to dance with each other. Their upcoming North American tour should be even more chirpy than usual since they're heading out with perpetually upbeat husband-wife duo Mates of State, who continue to support 2008's Re-Arrange Us.
As if all that wasn't cute enough, Mates of State were recently featured on Good Morning America in a segment all about how they manage to keep trekking while raising two young daughters on tour. The piece was called "Band on the Diaper Run" which is clever because there once was this album called Band on the Run and MOS have to change their kid's diapers on the road. Just wanted to make sure you're keeping up there.

We've been thinking of a trip to Hawaii, but were encouraged to look at Costa Rica. I really don't know where to start as I don't know areas at all.
We would probably have a couple weeks there in July, need to be budget conscious and would like to do our own food most of the time with a few nice meals out. We have four kids girls 13,14,15,17. They want a combination of beach and adventure. White water rafting has specifically been mentioned.
Would Costa Rica be a good family vacation? If so, in what areas should I be looking? We'd love a good chunk at the beach, and some jungle feel would be great, too. Volcano?
Any advice would be so wonderful! Thanks in advance!
Costa Rica with teens a good vacation?

One of our best family vacations! We spent 2 nts in Arenal & 7 in Manuel Antonio. Last nt we stayed near the airport. Enjoy!

Your children will love Costa Rica! We took our three girls (ages 12, 19, 21) there this past summer. We went zip lining, horseback riding to a waterfall we could all swim in, and ATVing, along with several days at the beach. We rented a house in Ojochal with awesome ocean views. (http://www.ojochalvacationrentals.com/costa-rica-vacation-rentals.htm) Since you have several weeks, I would agree with SiteC_er and also suggest Arenal and Manuel Antonio. But really I don't think you can go wrong anywhere you go. The southern Pacific (our favorite part) is more jungle and green than the northern part which can be a lot dryer, so you will see more variety of animals in the south.

One other thing--my husband suggested I give you my blog address since I'm blogging about our April trip now (I know, I'm a little behind!) I'm working on the horseback riding day for my next post, and hope to have that finished next week. Here's the link: http://www.PuraVidaBound.blogspot.com I've also got some posts from another trip we took to Tamarindo which is in the Northern Pacific.

Hi, Cindy - I saw your message on my other post. We did a combo of Arenal and Manuel Antonio for our first trip, and that's a nice easy combo that gives you a lot of adventure activities plus beach and volcano. I think it's a good pick for you. We did white water rafting with Rios Tropicales, and they were excellent.
Report Abuse
Your kids are a great age for adventures in Costa Rica. White water rafting for sure. I'd also set aside at least 2 days for some surf lessons.
I'd think about doing 3 destinations, 4 at most. The "classic loop" heads from San Jose to Arenal to Monteverde to Manuel Antonio and back to SJO for departure.
If you fly in and out of Liberia, or even if you don't, I'd look into Hacienda Guachipelin in Rincon de la Vieja.
You also might want a house/condo w/ kitchen rental while at the beach, there are lots of options.

Thanks, everybody! I will start digging!

Walk Your Way to a Good Night's Sleep
Get Moving for a Good Night
Many Americans do not get enough sleep. Eight hours per night is the recommended amount but for some people this seems like an impossibility. The blame for lack of sleep is often put on our busy schedules, jobs, kids, work, etc. These things can't really be eliminated from our lives but there are ways to make sure that we get a better night's rest. Taking a daily walk around the neighborhood is one of these things that can help you sleep better and more restful.
There are a few different things that people can do to help them get a good night's rest. Eating the right types of foods can contribute to the quality of our sleep. Not eating spicy or acidic foods before bedtime can help. Mediation and drinking herbal teas (free of caffeine, of course) is also beneficial to some people. Another good way to help you rest better at night is to get plenty of exercise during the day.
Just because you work a nine hour job and have a family to look after doesn't mean you are getting the proper amount of exercise. Being busy is no replacement for a good workout that will get your heart rate going and your blood flowing. Walking a mile or two or even a few blocks every day is a good way to get this daily exercise. Taking a walk after dinner every night will not only help your body burn off calories but it will contribute to keeping you body functioning at its optimal level. It will also help you sleep better, provided you don't do it too close to your bedtime.
How does exercise relax you so that you sleep better? The answer is: exercise gives melatonin a boost. Melatonin is a naturally produced hormone that help regulate your sleeping cycles. Exercise makes melatonin do its job better so that you can sleep better. Better sleep has many benefits and it helps fight depression and disease.
Foods & Snacks to Eat (and Avoid) Before Bed
What NOT to Eat Before Bed
It is generally not recommended to eat before bedtime. If you suffer from heartburn or indigestion, for example, there is a good chance your stomach isn't going to allow you drift off to a peaceful slumber mere minutes after your head hits the pillow. Sometimes, due to our busy schedules eating before bedtime is unavoidable. However, there are some things you can do that will make falling asleep easier and that will help you get a full night's rest so that you're not dragging and groggy the next morning.
It should go without saying that it is not a good idea to consume caffeine before bedtime. Coffee, tea and cola should be avoided and so should chocolate. If your time schedule doesn't allow for much flexibility in the times when you eat your meals, there are some foods that you can eat that won't keep you up tossing and turning. Fruit is a good food to eat if you must eat within an hour of your bedtime, but just make sure it's nothing to acidic, especially if you suffer from heartburn. A banana or an apple or even grapes are a safe bet. Bland food is safer than spicy food. Bread and butter or a high carb snack like crackers can trigger the release of serotonin in the body which can help with sleep. Foods that are difficult to digest like corn and nuts should be avoided.
Healthy Foods to Eat Before Bed
In a broader sense eating a healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables is going to ensure that you have energy throughout the day. By being energized and active all day and burning off calories, your body should be more than ready to recharge over night. People who maintain healthy diets and get plenty of exercise generally sleep better.
Also, make sure you eat slowly and chew properly. This will help your body digest meals better so digestion won't interfere with your sleep!
Feather Pillow vs. Cotton Pillow: Which is Best?
On average we spend 1/3 of our lives sleeping so having a quality pillow is important for spending that time in comfort. Choosing the right pillow depends on your preferences but with so many choices, you may feel overwhelmed. Let's take a look at the differences between feather and cotton pillows and try to make the process of choosing a new pillow simpler!
Feather Pillows
Feather pillows are generally considered the more luxurious option between the two choices. The pillows are often made with goose feathers that are flat and have quills running through their centers. Feathers are soft but not as fluffy as pure down, however they do provide firmer support than down pillows.
Some benefits of feather pillows are that they are soft, warm, and can easily be shaped for better comfort and support. These types of pillows are very durable if well cared for and can last for years. Another great feature is that most feather pillows are washable.
Some cons to consider would be that pillows of this type can feel sweaty and hot to some who sleep hot. Feathers flatten easily and need to be coaxed and pulled into the shape you want every time to change positions. Another consideration is allergies. How sensitive are you? Many have found themselves to be allergic to feather or down pillows so do not commit to buying one unless you're sure that it won't be a problem for you.
Cotton Pillows
Cotton pillows provide wonderfully soft, gentle yet firm lift for all the natural support you need as you sleep. This type of pillow is natural, and rarely contains allergens that would affect the sensitive sleeper.
Some benefits of cotton pillows are that since the fiber is naturally absorbent, you will not have to deal with a sweaty, hot pillow on an average night. Cotton pillows are much firmer than feather ones. The surface is smooth, plus there's no chance of being startled awake by a rogue feather!
Some cons with cotton filled pillows are that as time passes the cotton can compress and begin to feel very hard and may even be described as lumpy by some. This pillow type does not contour easily to body curvature. If the pillow is not cleaned regularly it can create an attractive environment for dust mites and molds, as cotton can retain water.
Sleeping Style vs. Pillow Type
The way you sleep will determine the firmness of your pillow. Those of us who sleep on our back or side often prefer a medium support pillow that cradles the natural curvature of the spine. Stomach sleepers enjoy a soft, plump pillow that cushions the head and neck at a comfortable angle.
Everyone has a different image of their perfect pillow. For me being a side sleeper and having many allergies, a cotton pillow is the perfect match, but it may not be for everyone. Make sure to find your perfect fit for all your bedding because remember, we spend 8 hours of our day sleeping – if we're lucky!
How Many Hours of Sleep is Enough?
What constitutes a good night's sleep? The generally held consensus on the appropriate amount is 8 hours per night for adults. The average American gets less than seven hours per night and that's not enough for them to function at their best. A lack of sleep can have a variety of negative impacts on our lives from an increase in disease susceptibility to an unhealthy gain in weight.
Making a Good Night's Sleep Great
When we are overly tired, we also have slower reaction times which can have consequences when we are driving. Lack of sleep can result in a rise in blood pressure and can trigger hormonal imbalances that increase our appetites while making us tired during the day and less likely to exercise. This can lead to obesity and diabetes. Many obese Americans suffer from sleep apnea where normal breathing can become interrupted as many as 400 times per night.
When we are able to sleep well the benefits are immediate. Our memory improves, losing weight is easier and so is fighting depression. To ensure you get a good night's sleep, make sure your bed is comfortable and your mind is clear at bedtime. Drink caffeine-free herbal tea and avoid checking your electronic devices which can throw off your body's natural clock.
Are Screens & Gadgets Stealing our Sleep?
More Screen Time = Less Sleep Time
It would probably be no surprise to anyone that we spend about half of our waking hours staring at a screen. Whether that's a desktop or laptop computer screen, a cell phone or a tablet, we are completely engaged with our electronic devices for much of our waking hours. It is now believed that this much exposure to the artificial lighting of these screens can adversely affect our sleeping patterns.
As the use of these types of technologies increases, so does the amount of sleep disorders we experience. With so many of us watching TV in bed on our smartphones and checking messages or using our tablets right before bed, we are disrupting our body's normal and natural sleep routine.
Good Night Tech, Good Night Moon
The lighting used to illuminate these devices may be tricking our bodies into thinking it's daylight. The natural production of melatonin is affected by the amount of light outside. When the sun goes down our bodies start telling us that it is time to go to sleep. The use of gadgets with artificial lighting sources may be interfering with this natural process which makes it harder for us to fall asleep at night.
As great as technology is and with as many great benefits as the Internet delivers to us on a daily basis, there's always a tradeoff. In this case, it may mean that checking your e-mail in bed will have you feeling groggy in the morning.
One solution is to rid your bedroom of tech devices, creating a sanctuary for sleep and signaling to your brain and body that your bed is a place meant for resting and sleeping, not tweeting and Instagraming.

Jan 23, 2012They have succeeded far beyond my admittedly high expectations. As a KOTOR fan, I finally have my long-awaited sequel(s). As an MMO fan, I am hooked. As a Star Wars fan, I am enthralled.
Jan 23, 2012But if any MMO game were to ever stand a chance of luring me back into the monthly-pay-to-play model, SWTOR is certainly it. With its movie-like presentation, engaging stories, and seemingly endless quest potential, this is one RPG that gets harder to put down the longer you keep playing. And I haven't even fully tapped into the advanced material like Guilds and serious PVP play. Combine all of this great content with one of the most stable and trouble-free launches in MMO history and you have your new role-model to which all other MMO games should aspire. Welcome to the future of online role-playing.
Jan 9, 2012In closing, I'll say that Star Wars: The Old Republic is a game I never knew I wanted. Years ago, I was upset to discover that there were no plans to continue Revan's story after Knights of the Old Republic II and instead continue exploring the Old Republic universe through an MMO. After experiencing burnout with World of Warcraft, I had resigned myself to no longer play these types of games. However, I couldn't be happier with what BioWare has done with The Old Republic and the experience continues to be enjoyable. The bottom line is, after 42 hours, I'm still having a blast.
Jan 2, 2012Star Wars: The Old Republic is the fresh breeze the MMORPG genre so urgently needed.
Feb 25, 2012When it all works, it sings. It IS Star Wars and you are living in it. But when it doesn't, it frustrates, perhaps because the best moments are so good that you wonder why it all can't be that good.
Jan 9, 2012BioWare has largely delivered and will have answered many of its critics, but there is not much in the way of innovation here. The Force alignment structure may be systemically unsalvageable, and with little end-game content currently available for those characters who have reached level 50, one wonders whether BioWare will be able to hold on to the more serious gamers and guilds who yearn for a variety of large-scale challenges.
Jan 16, 2012A MMORPG that doesn't differentiate itself very much from other popular MMORPG titles (like World of Warcraft), but with a greater focus on story, companions and of course the Star Wars setting, The Old Republic is still a solid game.

May 31, 2012This is definitely my favorite computer game by far. The story classes i 've played so far have been very enthralling and fun; and I couldn't ask for a better combat system in an mmo. Oh and if you have a computer that can handle The Old Republic on the highest setting then I strongly recommend doing so.… Expand
Dec 26, 2011This is absolutely pathetic...the same people are giving this game 0's and going to EVERY high score review and giving it a thumbs down and every low score review a thumbs up. Must be so sad to have nothing to do in your lives but troll metacritic. Did Bioware kill your cat? Anywho, wonderful MMO with fantastic story telling, big worlds to explore, great graphics, and beautiful Star Wars music.… Expand
Dec 20, 2011This game is amazing! The best MMO out there, period. If you love star wars you will love this game. I've had so much fun with the story, companions, pvp, personal ship, spacebattles and so on...
There is not much negative about this game.. I can't wait for future updates and expansion :)
May the force be with you!… Expand
Dec 21, 2011The thing that defines and separates The Old Republic is story. The whole game is wrapped around it both for good and ill. If you like RPG's then you will likely enjoy TOR because at its heart that is what it is. It borrows its format from other Bioware games where your choices shape the game for you at least to a point. The stories in most cases are enjoyable however there are some themes on the Imperial side that become trite. Primarily the Empire in many cases comes off as completely incompetent. I believe that this was done in an attempt to make the player feel heroic. The game play follows the successful model of WoW. Some people criticise this but I find it handy. This game doesn't have a steep learning curve because its play style is already familiar. You can jump in and enjoy the story and the game play right away. Sometimes the game play lacks challenge. However I beleive that is because due to the large number of quest on each planet. If you do all the quest on a planet you will out level the next planets quest. Throw in exp for falshpoints, or pvp or space combat and you can make the game very simple. if you out level the game try doing heroics solo and you will find some challenges. The crafting system is very similar to wow but does have a nice wrinkle to it with the ability to reverse engineer items in order to get better schematics. it offers a little more than WoW in crafting but doesn't become burdensome. The companion system has its ups and downs. While companions stories become interesting you constantly have to be concerned with your faction with them. Some of the companions abilites mesh better with certain class choices. Also your morality choices can please or displease your companion. If your making them happy its all gravy. if your not making them happy you sometimes feel a little animosity towards them. The games reliance on story while its biggest strength does have a few issues. It makes the game very linear. You are pushed along a certain path. You can deviate a bit but largely there is one way to go. So there is less freedom in this game during leveling. However this is something most MMO's suffer from. The gear system is very familiar as it borrows greatly from wow. There are a large amount of armors in the game and the modification system allows for players to customize their gear and if they care to put in the time they can maintain a certain look. The system was far more robust in beta but regrettably they have dumbed it down. Still you do have a lot more options to customize your appearance. They are reportedly coming out with a more robust system for altering the color of gear. They have abandoned their "fit to chest" option for this system. It is a little disappointing but if they come through with their promise then it will be worth it. One criticism I have is that the game revolves around story which is a huge draw for roleplayers. Yet many roleplaying tools are sadly missing from the game. You cannot sit in chairs, many emotes do not have animations and such. I am hoping that this will be addressed. All and all I think the game has a lot of [promise. However there are many things still missing. To be fare it is unreasonable to assume that a new game will have all the features of games that have had years to establish themselves. I have give the game a 7 because while I find it enjoyable I think Bioware has a lot of work to do for the game to reach its potential. I am willing to give them that time.… Expand
Jul 5, 2012I levelled a jedi sage (healer lvl 34) and a Vanguard (tank lvl 30ish) and honestly felt disappointed.
The novelty of full voice acted quest givers wears off fast. There are no choices in quests and you're soon left with the usual kill x of y.
Story quests are shallows too. No twists and unlikely characters. As far the game goes it's the usual holy trinity system. Been there, done that. My playing experience was hindered by the lack of a LFG tool, now implemented, that basically meant having to suffer ungodly pain to form a group. My advice is pass on the one unless you're a die hard star wars fan. In that case the settings might be enough to keep you entertained… Expand
May 28, 2012Essentially this is a single player game (with an option to play with others), using dated graphics with a giant voice acting budget.
As an MMO, there is nothing new here and some puzzling design decisions (no customizable UI?). Graphically, average. Levelling up? Average. Story? Depending on your class, it can be quite good.
Essentially what you have is a average MMO with a good story. However, when you factor the rumored budget the game had and the fact that it's Star Wars, average doesn't cut it. My advice (if you just HAVE to have Star Wars): Play the class you like for the first month, then cancel and montior it for patches.… Expand
Sep 16, 2014Play this game if you agitation in your life, for the most part your companions are only good to get them and you killed, because after almost 4 years your companion has a tendency to do a disappearing act which leaves you unable to heal them and there is no indication that this serious bug is going to be fixed, and forget about teaming up with only 35-40 players on a planet, you unlikely to get help which also means you are unlikely to be invited to join a guild. In short they seem to be adding content to a dying game instead of fixing the glitches and bugs to save it… Expand

Google Adds Local News For Smartphone Users
Android and iPhone users can now get local news via the mobile version of Google News.
It's accessible by visiting news.google.com from a mobile browser. Google News will ask for permission to use your current location (if you haven't already given that permission), and if you allow it, a "News near you" section will be added to Google News.
Google isn't the first to offer local news like this. Bing's iPhone app also has a section for local news under the "News" tab, and CNN's iPhone app also offers local news (and weather) via the "My CNN" tab. I can't find a tab/section for local news via Yahoo's iPhone app, which is ironic considering the company's big emphasis on local and hyperlocal news. (See Is Yahoo Going Hyperlocal? from my Hyperlocal Blogger site.)
That said, on quick glance, Google's local news targeting is better and more precise than the other options that I'm familiar with — at least on the iPhone. (Though it also seems to be a bit slow to update, at least here in my smaller metro area; story #3 is six days old.)
