Reviewer: Jamie, 45-54 Female on Treatment for 1 to 6 months (Patient)
Ease of Use
I've been using epiceram for radiation burns. I didn't think it was working very well: my skin is bright red, deep red in some places and oozing. But then I saw the burns on some of my radiation buddies, and their burns are much worse than mine: more black than red. So, I guess it does do some good. Definitely use the coupon.

Ease of Use

nothing but cost us time and money, while others (Elidel) actually
exacerbated the situation by adding staph infections. We were truly
growing quite desperate, as the eczema was so sev

Reviewer: Magpie, 45-54 Female on Treatment for 1 to 6 months (Patient)
Ease of Use
I had complained to my Derm. about dryness from rosacea meds. (mostly on my nose) She gave me a few samples and I was so happy. It stopped the peeling and I could wear makeup without it looking so ugly and dry. My nose was always peeling for years no matter what lotion I tried. I Love this!

blondie1966 United States Show all reviews | Almond Blossom Dew is a really nice, smooth scent! I would say it is more floral than woody or nutty but you can definitely tell there's almond in it! I luv it simply because it's great for your skin & the subtle scent lingers all day! I like to layer the lotion & then add this on top for an even more delicious scent! I luv many fragrances by L'Occitane! 10th December, 2006 |

The Real Reason You're Broke
My friend Bob Bryant forward me a link to this article from MSN called "The Real Reason You're Broke" by Liz Pulliam Weston. You can read it here:
This article does a very nice job at looking at the costs of car ownership. It doesn't say "cars suck!" but it does present some real food for thought.

I don't drive, either. The real reason *I'm* broke is that I spend buttloads of money on shiny new bicycles. It doesn't take a car...
- Tammy said...
I don't have to follow the link. I know my car eats up more than half of what I make right now... car pmt, insurance, gas, oil changes, routine maintenance. But society has convinced me I NEED MY CAR. So, that's how it is. ;( Grrrrrr.
- Perry said...
I think personal financial planning should be taught in grade school. Anyone who doesn't understand compounding interest should not be allowed to graduate.
Having said that, and given our current lifestyle and infrastructure, it is unreasonable (and I would argue self-defeating) to expect most people to go car free. The best I've been able to do so far is to keep our 1991 Accord to 5-6K miles per year. In our increasingly affluent community, my wife and I are considered freaks because of the car we drive and also for being a one car family. It's hard enough as it is and as I get older, I don't feel strong enough to ride through every situation, day in and day out.
Now, I know you are not preaching so don't take this as a knock or anything. I just wanted to get another perspective in here. - 4:16 AM

I'll say it... Cars suck!

Very good
Excellent location
We flew into Miami but our flight to st kitts wasn't until the next morning. We checked out the restaurant & opted not to eat there since there was no bar, very expensive, & a depressing institutional atmosphere. Halls & carpeting disgusting. Room carpet & chair were so disgusting that I wouldn't even put my suit on the floor or chair. Keep your shoes on! Bed comfy w/ crisp clean white bedding. Bathroom more upto date but only cleaned fairly well. Elevators backed up w/ long wait. Only 1 working! Had to wait 3 elevators then squeezed on w/ 2 pieces of luggage while husband took the stairs w/ 3rd bag.
Very practical as I was between flights with little time
The bathroom was dirty and that gave me a bad impression on the room as well.
Easy and convenient I was just staying overnight before the next leg of my journey.
I didn't have a laptop with me and was unable to print a boarding pass without paying for internet time. Most hotels provide for free printing of boarding passes.
It's all about location.
Bed, bath, wifi disconects, size of room
the location was excellent. the hotel restaurant was also excellent. the room was comfortable and had the essentials- i would stay there again if i had to go through MIA
there was nothing that i didn't like about it.
The convenience!! Makes travel in and out of airport a breeze!!!
It's in the MIA. Very practical if you have an early flight
Location and clean comfortable bed and bathroom
Corridors smelt sweaty and decor of room was very dated
Location, location, location. Cleanliness was good.
Rooms are uneven in quality. Some rooms are quite cramped.
Convenient location, pretty clean, free wifi.
Needs a complete renovation, smells a bit old, showers are brutal, expensive for what you get.
Comfort, Cleanliness, Facilities is very very old and not well maintained.
They charged me for the restaurant and I didn't use it but when I called they said they would remove the charge. And they did. Thank you.
This place is showing its age but it so convenient that the problems are manageable. The staff is cordial and get the job done but don't seem to be enjoying themselves. This is especially true in the dining room. I gather that at one time this was a great layover hotel but cutbacks have taken a toll on the facility and staff…too bad. I will stay again. If you stay take the opportunity to check out the windows which were an early form of noise control.
Trying to get to the hotel from our gate. Am impossible walk since the tram shuts down at 11:45 pm.
The location and convenience of being at the airport.
There was not iron or ironing board in the room provided.
good location and comfortable facilities
The restaurant at seventh floor, low quality food at a very expensive price
at airport
staff was no help, we called a bell boy and reception a few times ...later to come down will all our bags and kids only to see them chatting at the front or on the cel phone texting and ignoring other guest!!
The location The fast check-in and check-out
The restaurant
Everything else. This hotel needs a serious makeover!

Photos: Celebrity sex scandals
John Travolta is being sued by a masseur who claims the star sexually assaulted him. Travolta denies the claim.
Paulina Gretzky continues to set the Internet aflame with her sexy posted photos.
The latest celebrity to be involved in a sex tape scandal is Hulk Hogan.
Ashton Kutcher was caught in a sex scandal in November 2011 after rumors of adultery began to swirl. He and then-wife Demi Moore called it quits.
AnnaLynne McCord accidentally sent a topless Twitpic to a fan on Jan. 9, 2012. She then recropped it and send a SFW version.
Wholesome 'High School Musical' star Vanessa Hudgens is probably wishing she'd held onto a batch of nude photos that first surfaced in Sept 2007. Another leak from the same batch surfaced in August 2009, and the actress was again hit by another leak (featuring the most graphic shots to date) in March 2011, one week before her movie Sucker Punch opened.
Olivia Munn's rep denied reports that her phone was hacked on March 4, 2012. TMZ reports several of the racy shots floating around the web, including Munn posing in a black bra, bikini and a v-neck, are legit and have been previously posted on her blog or Twitter, but the faceless full-frontals are a body double. Olivia Munn addressed the situation by tweeting, "If you ever hacked my phone, these are the pictures you'd find" and linking to some cute baby and cat photos."
Mad Men star Christina Hendricks' phone was hacked on March 3, 2012 -- though not all the photos that surfaced were legit. "The topless image is fake and not an image of Christina," Hendricks' rep told E! News, though he did admit that the rest of the photos, which feature the actress' face rather, are real.
Gossip Girl's Blake Lively has done a fantastic job of managing her public image, which was why it was so shocking when photos were released on the Internet on May 31, 2011, appearing to show a naked Lively posing in the mirror. However, Lively's reputation remains intact - although the naked lady in the photos are real, the woman is not Lively. Said the actress' rep in a statement: "The photos of Blake Lively which have just surfaced on various websites including Perez Hilton and Zap2it.com are 100 percent FAKE. Blake has never taken nude photos of herself." Still, there's
quite the resemblance
A cell phone photo of a very nude Chris Brown leaked on the web in March 2011. Brown explained the photo on KPWR's "Big Boy's Neighborhood" morning show, saying "It was an out the shower shot. It was like 'hey what's up?'" and added that the picture was "definitely sent to a girl."
Tori Spelling's boobs accidently ended up on the web in Nov 2011 when husband Dean McDermott Tweeted what, at first blush, appeared to be an innocent photo of the couple's son, Liam.
On Sept. 14, 2011, several nude photos that appear to be of Scarlett Johansson surfaced online. Read more
A sex tape reportedly featuring Usher and his ex-wife Tameka Foster was reportedly being shopped around in March 2011. TMZ reports the tape was stolen from the singer's car during a December 2009 break-in.
Paris Hilton's ex-BFF, Kim Kardashian, is another pseudo-celebrity who went from a nobody to a sexy somebody super fast when her sex tape was "mysteriously" leaked to the public.
We thought we had seen all (and we mean all) of Kendra Wilkinson after the former Girls Next Door reality star's sex tape was "leaked" to XXX company Vivid Entertainment -- but in Jan 2010, just months after the release of her first video, more footage surfaced featuring some girl-on-girl action.
Paris Hilton wasn't the first celebrity to be mortified by a leaked sex tape (Pamela Anderson beat her to it in 1998), but the under-three-minute clip that leaked online in 2003 featuring the then-19-year-old heiress and Rick Solomon frolicking in all their night vision glory was a pop culture game changer. Not only did nearly everyone with access to an Internet connection get a peek at the naughty clip (which was later released commercially under the surprisingly clever title 1 Night in Paris), it propelled a little-known heiress to worldwide stardom overnight. Suddenly, it was like the kinky floodgates opened and nude tapes and photos of famous folk (including Colin Farrell, Fred Durst, Vanessa Hudgens, Marcia Cross and Miley Cyrus) came pouring out of the woodwork. Also, Hilton's leak suspiciously coincided with the launch of her reality show, The Simple Life, and ushered in a new era of stars who became famous for no reason other than starring in a "leaked" sex tape (see: Kim Kardashian, Nicole Narain). Who needs to rely on talent when you've got homemade porn?
Rumours of a sex tape featuring Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester hit the web in June 2009. The tape allegedly contains footage of the actress doing some kinky stuff with her feet. She claims the tape doesn't exist.
In Dec 2010, hip hop star Nicki Minaj was rumoured to have a sex tape floating around.
Colin Farrell was none-too-happy when a tape featuring him and his ex-girlfriend, Playboy model Nicole Narain, surfaced in 2005. He went to court to stop distribution of the DVD.
In October 2006, Marcia Cross fought to recover nude photos of her that were accidentally thrown out in the trash and discovered by the owner of her garbage collection company.
Dustin Diamond (aka Screech from Saved by the Bell) freaked us out when a 40-minute video that features him getting it on with two women surfaced.
Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst claims the three-minute video of him having sex with an anonymous groupie that was leaked to the Net was stolen from his laptop.
A tape featuring Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane (C) and his wife Rebecca Gayheart hanging around naked with former Miss Teen USA Kari Ann Peniche hit the web in August 2009. Said Dane's lawyer: "Although the participants are nude, the tape is not a 'sex tape.'
The Hills exes Lauren Conrad and Jason Wahler fought rumours of the existence of a sex tape. They claim the rumours were started by Hills villian Spencer Pratt.
You forgot about this one, didn't ya? In a short, 30-second clip leaked to the Internet, bad-girl rapper Eve is shown getting it on with a sex toy and her then-boyfriend, Stevie J.
Probably the most famous stolen celeb porn video of all time, a steamy and very dirty sex-capade was shot by the Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee on their honeymoon in 1995. It wasn't long before it made it onto the Internet (and into millions of men's fantasies).
You'd think she would have learned. After breaking up with Tommy, Pam went on to make another explicit home video, this time with Poison singer Bret Michaels. The video was also leaked onto the Net but it didn't make as much of a splash, mainly because Michaels failed to, ahem, measure up to Lee.

2014's fast food atrocities
Burger King's black cheeseburger: Made with squid ink and bamboo charcoal, arguably a symbol of meat's destructive effect on the planet. Only available in Japan.
Topics: Sex, Obesity, Love and Sex, News
Life is harder when you're an overweight woman: heart problems, diabetes, depression, low self-esteem and social prejudice — just to name a few of the challenges. But it turns out those are the least of our problems, according to a new study published in the British Medical Journal. In a survey of 10,000 French people, a slew of interesting numbers were revealed about the sexual habits of heavy men and women, and it turns out women get the shaft — or don't, in this case.
Obese women were 30 percent less likely than "normal" women to have had sex in the last year, but obese men were just as likely to have had one sexual partner in the last 12 months as average guys. Professor Kaye Wellings, one of the authors of the study, summed it up pretty effectively by saying, "Maybe women are more tolerant of tubby husbands than men are of tubby wives." The study also found that big girls are less likely to take birth control or talk to their doctors about contraception, so they experience four times the number of unplanned pregnancies. It's possible, according to the researchers, that obese women are skittish about asking for the pill because its health risks to overweight women are greater than for average women, or it might be the fact that oral contraceptives can make women gain weight.
There's another explanation for the disparity between big boys and big girls and how likely they are to get any tail, of course. In order to even remove a sock in the bedroom, most of us have to feel like we're attractive, desired and wanted by our partner. This can be nigh-on-impossible if you believe even a tiny fraction of the media hype surrounding the thin and beautiful. So maybe it's not that men don't want to sleep with overweight women, but that overweight women have so internalized mainstream beauty standards they can't bring themselves to fool around.
As a size 16 since I was, uh, about 16, I can tell you that being assaulted by media images like the one of Paris Hilton eating a Carl's Jr. burger in a size zero bikini or of Urban Outfitters' lovely "Eat Less" T-shirt is enough to make a girl want to just go to Good Vibrations and sit at home with a copy of "Velvet Goldmine."
Burger King's black cheeseburger: Made with squid ink and bamboo charcoal, arguably a symbol of meat's destructive effect on the planet. Only available in Japan.
McDonald's Black Burger: Because the laws of competition say that once Burger King introduces a black cheeseburger, it's only a matter of time before McDonald's follows suit. You still don't have to eat it.
Domino's Specialty Chicken: It's like regular pizza, except instead of a crust, there's fried chicken. The company's marketing officer calls it "one of the most creative, innovative menu items we have ever had" -- brain power put to good use.
Arby's Meat Mountain: The viral off-menu product containing eight different types of meat that, on second read, was probably engineered by Arby's all along. Horrific, regardless.
KFC'S ZINGER DOUBLE DOWN KING: A sandwich made by adding a burger patty to the infamous chicken-instead-of-buns creation can only be described using all caps. NO BUN ALL MEAT. Only available in South Korea.
Taco Bell's Waffle Taco: It took two years for Taco Bell to develop this waffle folded in the shape of a taco, the stand-out star of its new breakfast menu.
Krispy Kreme Triple Cheeseburger: Only attendees at the San Diego County Fair were given the opportunity to taste the official version of this donut-hamburger-heart attack combo. The rest of America has reasonable odds of not dropping dead tomorrow.
Taco Bell's Quesarito: A burrito wrapped in a quesadilla inside an enigma. Quarantined to one store in Oklahoma City.
Boston Pizza's Pizza Cake: The people's choice winner of a Canadian pizza chain's contest whose real aim, we'd imagine, is to prove that there's no such thing as "too far." Currently in development.
7-Eleven's Doritos Loaded: "For something decadent and artificial by design," wrote one impassioned reviewer, "it only tasted of the latter."

November 25, Tuesday
Arrived in Corinto Nicaragua at 11:00am and leaves at 4:30pm. There is not much to see here and Karen and I have been in this area on Operation Smile missions twice before, so we stayed close to the ship. We walked into the town of Corinto which is just outside the container pier gates, there was local vendors selling the usual tourist things. It was really hot around 30C but the humidity was in the 90s. We rested on deck for the rest ...
4000 miles later..
... Angeles Angels, were finally victorious after 19 innings, this time over the Boston Red Sox. So now we need to decide whether to follow the Blue Jays of Angels...
As the week drew to a close, Sunday was fittingly spent lazing at the beach with our trip into the ocean equally as ill-fated as our San Diego venture. This time Josh managed to knee Abbie in the head as we were caught off-guard by another big-wave. This was compounded by the realisation later that evening ...
Day 1 - LA to San Diego
... was a identified by streets with a letter or a number like 1st street or A drive) for some shopping at Horton plaza?? bought some shoes from Aldo and then got some lunch and ben and jerry's. i shared a Mongolian bowl with Tinka (from Germany) then we got on the bus and went down to the bay to do speed boat ride. lots of fun and pretty thriling. got to drive and it was a beautiful day. then when we got to the hotel we got ready ...
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
... bus, a transvestite in a jean skirt and a green St. Patty's Day feather headband sat next to me and sang "SomeWHEEERE Over the RAINNNNBOWWW!" in my ear and whispered "Do you drink alcohol?" We talked for a bit about his/her college degree in Psychology and Industrial Arts and how he/she is an alcoholic now. Who thinks he/she can sing. But really really can't.
Instead of the zoo, I walked around the Spanish Art Village and then ...
Los Angeles and adios USA
... San Diego - a beautiful coastal city close to Mexico. We appreciated the chilled out vibe here compared to LA where everything is so frantic. San Diego has the most sun on the West Coast and the weather was gorgeous. We visited the world famous Zoo which housed Pandas, Koalas and 5 varieties of bears along with over 300 other animals. The zoo was also a conservation sanctuary for a lot of endangered animals and took us a whole day to go around. The central ...

LOL... sweet! It ain't pretty but it works! The ones I keep using don't really fit my pot at all which is the biggest reason I want to replace it but that looks perfect for a rectangular cooler!
I am going to make something out of copper. I will post a pic when it is fininshed.
A lot of folks just use silicone tubing.....it floats and as long as you have ~1/2" fluid on the surface of the mash, you should be good to go....
A rainbird sprinkler works well.http://store.rainbird.com/product/detail/A16732-M.aspx
Just use a cheap showerhead and fitting to suspend it above the grainbed. With a little adjustment you can reach all corners of your MLT and maintain a nice uniform flow.

Launch of Apple's EasyPay retail self-checkout deemed a success
Apple's newly launched retail self-checkout program, which allows customers to pay for an in-store transaction on their phone without speaking to a store employee, has reportedly gotten off to a successful start.Though the self-checkout option has "seemed a bit crazy" to some, the system is "working out," a person familiar with Apple's retail operations reportedly told John Fortt of CNBC. The person said that the benefits of the new system have, so far, outweighted the negatives.
"This new setup could be particularly useful in a store like the one Apple's opening in Grand Central station on Friday," he said. "(I hear self checkout will be prominently touted there, which is no big surprise.) And the early success of this self checkout initiative bodes well for Apple's holiday sales.
The apparent comments from someone involved in Apple's retail operations are an indication that the self-checkout option has not created confusion or encouraged theft in the company's stores, as some had initially feared when the program was launched. Those concerns led some to jokingly refer to the program, officially known as EasyPay, as "EasyTheft."
The EasyPay launched in November with the release of version 2.0 of the Apple Store application for iOS devices. With EasyPay, an iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S user can scan the barcode of an accessory while in store, and complete the transaction using the same credit card information tied to their Apple ID.
The option applies only to accessories and items found on the shelf, which are some of the less expensive products offered at Apple's stores. Higher value items like iPhones, iPads, iPods and Macs are kept in Apple's retail stockrooms, and users cannot complete a self-checkout to purchase those items.

I have a site which is rewriting all urls to the main index.php file.
However, I DON'T want it to rewrite the main url - I want that to go to index.html (where we have a holding page).
The .htaccess rule for the rewrite is simple: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php¦images¦robots\.txt) RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
But how do I stop it from rewriting the root www.example.com ?
Thanks in advance for any help :-)
Neither the start nor the end anchor are needed, since these are both 'greedy' patterns.
Unless excluded, *all* requests must be handled properly by the script.
I'm not familiar with CodeIgniter, but you'd also do well to test thoroughly to make sure that if it cannot find a requested resource, it returns a proper 404-Not Found header, and NOT a 200-OK (no matter what the page content it returns might be).

USCGC Spencer (WMEC-905) is a United States Coast Guard medium endurance cutter. Her keel was laid on 26 June 1982 at Robert Derecktor Shipyard Incorporated, Middletown, Rhode Island. She was named for John Canfield Spencer, United States Secretary of the Treasury from 1843 to 1844 under President John Tyler and launched on 17 April 1984 and was commissioned into service on 28 June 1986. In March 1991, Spencer towed a disabled U.S. Navy frigate, a ship twice Spencer's size, to safety.[1] Spencer participated in the search for a missing Air National Guard paratrooper during the 1991 Perfect Storm. In 1999, Spencer was the on-scene command vessel for the EgyptAir Flight 990 crash off Nantucket, controlling both U.S. Navy and Coast Guard assets in the search and recovery efforts.[2]
Operational history[edit]
During a law enforcement patrol in 1987, Spencer arrested 23 people and confiscated more than 46,000 pounds of marijuana from four smuggling vessels. While on a south patrol in 1989, Spencer rescued and repatriated 538 Haitian migrants bound for the United States, and later seized a Panamanian freighter laden with 438 kilograms of cocaine. In 1994, Spencer made the first planned deployment of a 270-foot cutter with an SH-60 helicopter. This ship/helicopter deployment was shortened so that Spencer could participate in the response to a mass exodus of Haitian migrants. The ship repatriated over 1700 Haitian migrants during this patrol. During New York City's Annual Fleet Week of 1995, Spencer opened her brow to more than 5000 visitors. Spencer also carried several crewmembers from the World War II cutter of the same name in honor of Fleet Week's celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the end of that war. In early 1996, Spencer responded to the downed Alas Nacionales plane crash off the coastal waters of the Dominican Republic in which 188 people lost their lives. On April 22, 1997, Spencer seized 3905 pounds of cocaine off the coast of Honduras. When the fishing vessel Lady of Grace became disabled during a severe storm in November 1997, Spencer was there to save the crew and tow the vessel to safety. Recently, Spencer worked with the French warship Ventôse, to seize 1800 kilograms of pure cocaine off the coast of Venezuela.[3]

Admit it, non-orangebloods. You took some pleasure in the collapse of the vaunted UT program last season. Well, guess what? Now it's time for the empire to strike back.
R. C. Slocum is the winningest football coach in A&M history. So why are some Aggies hoping he gets sacked?
Will this be the year that the University of Texas Longhorns—the most talented college football team in the country—win their first national title since 1970? Yes. Hook 'em.
The University of North Texas Mean Green Eagles had one of their most exciting football seasons ever last year. Too bad everyone was talking about UT.
And Saturday. And Sunday. The arrival of fall means weekends spent watching football, up close and on-screen, and yet another opportunity to love the greatest game on earth for all the usual reasons. Forty-nine of them, in fact.

By SHAUN WATERMAN
UPI Homeland and National Security Editor
December 16, 2008
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16 (UPI) -- An audit of information security at the
Department of Justice says that though the agency got an A-plus rating
under federal standards, those measure only processes on paper and that,
in reality, no one knows how secure computers in the department -- and,
by extension, the rest of the federal government -- are.
The audit, by Justice Department Inspector General Glenn A. Fine, also
noted that the department "lacks effective methodologies . for
maintaining an inventory of devices connected to the department's
various (information technology) networks."
The Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 says all federal
departments and agencies must conduct yearly assessments to measure
their compliance with information security standards in the act.
In May the Justice Department's compliance was rated A-plus by the U.S.
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

by Dick, Steven J.
Publisher:Cambridge University Press
Throughout the twentieth century, from the furor over Percival Lowell's claim of canals on Mars to the sophisticated Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, otherworldly life has often intrigued and occasionally consumed science and the public. The Biological Universe provides a rich and colorful history of the attempts during the twentieth century to answer questions such as whether "biological law" reigns throughout the universe and whether there are other histories, religions, and philosophies outside those on Earth. Covering a broad range of topics, including the search for life in the solar system, the origins of life, UFOs, and aliens in science fiction, Steven J. Dick shows how the concept of extraterrestrial intelligence is a world view of its own, a "biophysical cosmology" that seeks confirmation no less than physical views of the universe. This book will fascinate astronomers, historians of science, biochemists, and science fiction readers.

This week in our roundup of miscellaneous release announcements, we've got news from HP, Mionix, and MSI.
As a fan of mechanical keyboards, I can't help but find that Mionix keyboard interesting. I do quite a bit more typing than gaming, however, and MX Black key switches aren't well suited for that purpose—they tend to require a fair amount of pressure to actuate, and bottoming out is the only surefire way to know you've depressed a key properly.

Re: Balance Issues
So the main issue some people are having are the speed of the game and difficulty getting stats. While it can be hard to tell the two apart, I tested the game on my mac, and it's certainly not working as it should be.
Suffice to say, even though I could unlock all the achievements fairly on my windows 7, knowing the code behind the game and having run through it dozens of times probably gave me an edge. Thanks for the feedback!
Here are some helpful hints to the game that I'll only include here because I feel like being a jerk to people who don't read this. You'd figure it out eventually anyways.
-Your preference before you start the game changes how fast the respective stat increases when you... uh... train it.
-Fitness makes you move faster
-A better mood makes all the other stats increase faster when you're working on them.
-LOL fingers!
Random Rambling time!
My past attempts to use actionscript have had a multitude of results:
-code I wrote failed to work
-code I wrote based on other people's code failed to work
-code I copy pasted from other code failed to work
-didn't understand what I was reading
-ran out of patience to learn
Then I learned C++ (somewhat). Then I decided spending 30+ hours developing this game would be a good idea (what homework?). Kudos to the 20+ sites google took me to to help me with my noob AS3 grievances.
This game is a blend of 3 things I do: study (I'm in mechanical engineering), track and field, and computer games. I also drink... uh... chocolate milk.
Mute button? Meh.
Leave me a review, I'll read it fo' sho'!
I might consider fixing bugs if they crop up. Maybe.
Something you should probably know if you are having trouble, even though the rank for each skill has a limit the actual value can go as high as you want it. because you are more effective at studying and working out when you are happy relax for an entire day, this will last you most of the game. go for working out next and let that overflow a bit as well because it allows you to move faster and save studying for last because it doesn't do anything. make sure relaxing is your main so that it lasts longer.
i know this is trying to be realistic and all but things go by way too fast to react to them and feels really rushed
I can't say this is a bad game, because it tried hard to be realistic. Well, except for the giant hand appearing. What I appreciate is how there's a lot of things to take care of, just like in real life. You might want to add going to websites while you're at it. I guess that would just be redundant, then. The music wasn't bad, although it could have been better.
I don't understand how to play this. I go to a certain area and click space and it says that I'm working out or studying or whatever, but my GPA and phsyical fitness remain the same. I touched both hands and I didn't get any medal. The graphics weren't bad, I guess, just not that appealing. I'm better at this in real life.
Impossible for me to get more than 2 stats high. Also tried to run as many laps as possible, but you need to work out if you want tor run faster. Too hard for me, but the idea is worth 3!

Among 38 nations, U.S. is the outlier when it comes to paid parental leave
Estonia offers about two years of paid leave for new mothers, and Hungary and Lithuania offer one-and-a-half years or more. What about the U.S.?
The links between education, marriage and parenting
New data released this week from the U.S. Census Bureau reaffirm the strong linkage between educational attainment and the marital status and living arrangements of parents of minor children
Will the end of China's one-child policy shift its boy-girl ratio?
While son preference remains a strong cultural norm in China, it will be interesting to see if the loosening of the one-child policy will lead to an increasing share of baby girls in the country.
The odds that you will give birth to a boy or girl depend on where in the world you live
Research over hundreds of years has consistently found that boys naturally outnumber girls at birth. The speculation is that this is nature's way of countering the relatively high mortality rates of males, and creating more of a gender balance in the population. While historically, there have been about 105 boys born for every 100 girls […]
Chart of the Week: Big drop in birth rate may be leveling off
The release of 2012 statistics on the U.S. birth rates indicates a flattening of the sharp decline in fertility that accompanied the Great Recession.
Birth rates hit record low for those under 25, still on the rise for those 40+
The overall U.S. birth rate declined to an all-time low in 2011. Birth rates reached an all-time low among women in their teens and early 20s, while rising to the highest level in four decades among women in their early 40s.

By clicking Yes below and completing the transaction you are taking ownership of the book after which Better World Books will begin the process of scanning on your behalf. The physical pages are recycled immediately after scanning so no refunds or cancellations are possible when you choose the eDelivery option.

Note: You have selected the eDelivery Option
You have selected the eDelivery option for your book, which means that you are requesting the scan of your physical book order. Converting this book to a digital version uses up one physical copy of the book from our inventory and can not be undone. This process will be queued up immediately after you submit your order to ensure prompt delivery. Refunds and cancellations are not possible when ordering eDelivery of your book.
