Why you should read Rich Like Them
Journalist Ryan D'Agostino wore out his walking shoes compiling this breezy, unconventional look at how a random set of rich people became wealthy. He gathered his information by ringing 500 doorbells in some of the 100 wealthiest neighborhoods in the United States, and found 50 people who not only opened their doors, but also were willing to answer his questions about how they earned their money. D'Agostino asked what advice they would offer others who want to end up in similar neighborhoods. What he learned isn't particularly original, and it isn't a blueprint to certain wealth, but his approach is unusual enough to make his findings personable and valuable. Given that the book doesn't offer traditional tips for making money, it won't serve financial planners or money managers. Yet it successfully merges rich people's stories, ideas and suggestions in an easy, enjoyable read. Yes, it's pep-rally material for budding entrepreneurs or high rollers, but it's good pep-rally material. getAbstract suggests this book to business students, young businesspeople, entrepreneurs, managers and worker bees hoping to get ahead. Way ahead.

Park District seeks Zip Line Canopy Tour for Alpine Hills
Online Staff Report
In spring 2011, the Hansberger family donated a 52-acre facility to the Rockford Park District Foundation; the property is now known as Alpine Hills Adventure Park & Golf Center, 4402 Larson Ave., Rockford.
The Park District envisions turning the facility into a year-round family adventure park with summer activities such as golf, and winter activities that could include a toboggan chute.
Earlier this year, the Rockford Park District held a focus group to gather feedback about the development plans and provide design ideas. At this meeting, residents asked about the possibility of a zip line.
The Alpine Hills Adventure Park & Golf Center design team discussed the idea, and deemed the park's terrain to be conducive for a Zip Line Canopy Tour, which could consist of multiple zip lines, and tower with suspension bridges.
Laura Williamson, deputy director of capital planning and asset management for the district, said: "This feature would be very complementary to the other activities being planned. We presented the option to our Board of Commissioners tonight to gather more feedback."
The Rockford Park District would like to engage an outside vendor to design, build, operate and fund the Zip Line Canopy Tour, along with paying the district a lease fee for use of land and to assist in paying for park maintenance.
The first phase of construction at Alpine Hills Adventure Park & Golf Center is under way, and includes the five-hole golf course, which is scheduled to re-open next year.

So yesterday I've managed to muster up the courage to start working on my own sprites for my Adventure Game Studio game. Just had to take what I learned in making sprites for Game Maker games, and apply it to Adventure Game Studio (that and study some sprites from other adventure games).
Maybe slow at first, but eventually I'll adjust to it.

Louie , Little late to be asking that kind of question after you already bought it JK , but you just bought a fine pistol , I own one and its way more accurate than I would have ever given credit to a pistol that small , The wife loves to shoot it to .
Thanks guys for the feedback!

Botanicula now has a free browser-based demoAs of today, a free demo is readily available for the indie hit Botanicula. It features the first ten minutes of the game, and pretty much gives you the general gist of the story. You can also buy the game for $10 directly off the website. Before today, I didn't have the time to play Botanicula (even though I already own it from a former Humble Bundle, funnily enough!), but after trying the demo out, it's safe to say that I'm going to carve out some time in the near future for it. It's a pretty charming little adventure game, and I love the "team based" mechanics -- it kind of reminds me of the Aaahh!!! Real Monsters game or Lost Vikings, which is a good thing!
