With the irrational holiday shopping season now in your rear-view mirror, this is a good time to consider how you feel about the companies to which you've just given half your life savings.
Maybe you don't trust them. Maybe you don't believe anything their executives say.
Maybe that's a good thing.
I was reminded of how little customers trust companies when I participated in a recent panel discussion at a public relations conference in Miami. The panel host, from the PR agency Edelman, had released a survey that suggested only 15 percent of American consumers trust the words that come from an executive's mouth. Only half trust business as an institution.
Other polls, I was not surprised to learn, put the trust figures in the single digits.

Here's a New Year's resolution we can probably all agree on: Don't be a jerk when you're on the road.
There's something about travel — whether you're flying, driving or sailing — that brings out the jerk in all of us. Like the guy in seat 26B just in front of me right now on a flight from Honolulu to Los Angeles, who is probably a nice guy on the ground. But put him on a plane, and shortly after takeoff, he jams his seat into my knees without so much as an apology.

What are your 2009 travel resolutions? I asked my friends on Twitter, and here's what they had to say.
@DesertMama "My New years resolution is to not pay for any checked bags – whether it's pay for an upgrade or carry on. Wish me luck."
(Good luck.)
@soultravelers3 "Our travel resolution this year is to do slooow travel, relax & immerse deeply, travel green & eat healthy on our world tour!"
(Sounds like a plan.)
@Cajun_Mama "I really want to see the Aurora Borealis. Also taking a solo trip somewhere, like a mama walkabout. Destination unknown :)"
(The Aurora is awesome. Good resolution.)
@JoodyC "Good lord willin' and the budget allows, I resolve to buy a fractional share of a plane so I don't have to deal w/airports."
(Are you kidding? If I had the money, I'd buy the whole plane!)
@sallymak26 "To explore more of our OWN country…especially now that gas is cheaper…hope to road trip at least two-three times in 2009!"
(I can already hear three little voices from the back of my car. Road trip! Road trip! Road trip!)
@caryt123 "i want to have multiple 'mini' vacations to destinations close to home. i may plan for a cruise too!"
(Good idea.)
@cestbest "I plan to fly less and not fly US Airways. There are better LCC options such as WN and B6."
(I don't think you are alone.)
@dmuth "My 2009 New Year's Resolution is to drink more. :-)"
(I'll drink to that.)
@karasw "Am turning 40 and celebrating 10th wedding anniversary=big year. Plane travel or new weekend destination every month!"
(So much for your "naycation.")
@VisitNH "If you like to travel but funds are tight adventure locally. Visit a new city/town in your state for day trips or a long wknd"
(Ah, there we go.)
@chickefitz "No cruises with Mickey Mouse this year! I'm going back on Seabourne to the little ships for grownups!"
(Love Seabourne.)
@genochurch "to go back to Negril in 09. Booked :)"
(Who wouldn't want to do that?)
@AnaLovesMusic "Travel Resolution: I want to see how many places/how far I can go without stepping on an airplane."
(Yeah, you and everyone else in the country.)
So what are your 2009 travel resolutions? Leave a comment or follow me on Twitter and share your plans with everyone else.
Happy 2009!
You can't talk about the worst holiday travel experiences without mentioning the movie "Planes, Trains & Automobiles."
The 1987 comedy, starring Steve Martin and John Candy, is about one frazzled business traveler's struggle to get home in time for Thanksgiving. It's a textbook holiday travel nightmare, featuring snowstorms, flight diversions and almost every imaginable delay.
Art has a way of imitating life. Or is it the other way around?
Perhaps our fascination and how closely many of us relate with the iconic '80s flick says something important about us. We expect to have an incredibly negative experience, whether it's being held hostage by a blizzard or trapped in a taxi that's taking the scenic route.
What have we learned in the two decades since "Planes," and what does it say about this year's holidays?
Learning from our mistakes
One of the worst holiday air travel experiences in recent memory happened in early 1999. About 3,700 Northwest Airlines passengers returning to work after the New Year were trapped on parked planes at Detroit Metropolitan Airport for hours in a blizzard. The planes couldn't take off or return to the gate, and travelers reportedly suffered inconveniences such as overflowing toilets and running out of food and water.
Some of the passengers sued Northwest and in a 2001 settlement, the airline agreed to pay each passenger an average of $1,300 as compensation. Sadly, the industry didn't learn back then that trapping passengers on a plane was bad for business. They've done it time and again, including JetBlue's infamous Valentine's Day meltdown in New York and American Airlines' stranding of passengers in Austin in early 2007, which led to the latest passenger rights revolution.
Weather turns nasty, roads get dangerous
Many of the worst traffic accidents on American roads happen during the winter holiday travel period between Thanksgiving and New Year's. Like the 99-car pileup on December 11, 1990, on Interstate 75 near Calhoun, Tenn., which was triggered when a tractor-trailer in the southbound lanes rear-ended another semi in the fog. In the ensuing pile-up, 12 people were killed and 42 injured. Other notable collisions include a 127-car pile-up in San Antonio, Texas(Dec. 2, 1994) and a 100-car pile-up in Central Michigan (Dec. 31, 1998).
Multiple-car accidents can happen any time of the year, but they seem particularly prevalent during the winter holiday period, when the weather turns bad and motorists get blitzed on eggnog before getting behind the wheel.
All the more reason to drive carefully — or not at all.
Holiday headaches on the high seas
True, the biggest cruise ship catastrophe in recent memory happened last April, when 1,200 passengers and a crew of 400 had to be evacuated from the Sea Diamond after she apparently hit a rock near the Greek island of Santorini — and eventually sunk.
But the winter holidays aren't particularly kind to cruisers, either. On Nov. 23 of that year, more than 150 passengers and crew aboard Norwegian cruise ship MS Nordnorge had to be rescued near Antarctica when their ship is thought to have collided with an iceberg. And who can forget the Seabourn Spirit's close call with pirates back in 2005? The buccaneers opened fire on the luxury liner with automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades a few weeks before Thanksgiving. Fortunately, the attack was successfully repelled.
I'm not saying you should avoid cruising over the holidays. I am saying things happen. Mind the icebergs — and pirates.
Ask for a room on the ground floor
There have been few notable hotel accidents or disasters in the past, oh, 60 years. However, two of the deadliest hotel fires in U.S. history — one at the MGM Grand in 1980 and another at the Winecoff Hotel in Atlanta in 1947 — broke out during the winter holiday period. I know, both happened more than two decades ago, but you might consider staying on the ground floor during your holiday stay.
All aboard!
A review of the major railway disasters in the United States since the turn of the century suggests that statistically speaking, catching the train probably is your safest bet during the holidays.
The worst accidents tend to happen at other times of the year, although there are notable exceptions, such as the head-on collision on Nov. 29, 2004 of two CSX freight trains in Zephyrhills, Fla., which killed one person and injured three. But those were freight trains, so they don't really count. Lesson learned? The train may be slow, but it'll get you there in one piece.
Take the forecasts with a grain of salt
Be wary when studying the Thanksgiving travel forecasts — and those issued just before Christmas and New Year's Day, for that matter. The best-known of the lot is done by AAA (and was released Tuesday), which last year predicted a "modest increase" in the number of Thanksgiving travelers. Nothing against AAA, or any of the other travel companies with predictions and polls, but it's almost impossible to verify any of their claims. For example, AAA expected 31.2 million people to travel by car last Thanksgiving. Did they? Nobody knows. Truth is, no one counts how many motorists were on the road during the holiday weekend. What's the point of making a forecast when no one will ever know if it is true? And will the forecasts stop people from making the trip to Grandma's house? Unlikely.
So what does all of this mean? I think it means that our collective expectation that holiday travel will be a negative experience is both true — and untrue.
Yes, historically the holidays are a difficult time to be on the road. I haven't even mentioned the long lines at the airport, the delays, the cranky fellow travelers, and, of course, the traffic. But this year may be different, as I recently predicted.
In fact, these holidays may be among the best in recent memory. Airlines, hotels and other travel companies are trying to coax travelers to open their wallets by offering attractive prices. If you're diligent and flexible, you could find your best deal in years.
I could be wrong. I've been wrong before. At the press screening of "Planes, Trains & Automobiles," I told director John Hughes he should consider a sequel to his cult classic "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." (I was a know-it-all college film critic back then, and that's what know-it-all college film critics do. They tell Hollywood directors what to film.)
"Might be interesting," he said.
Interesting, yes. But unnecessary — just like a sequel to holiday horrors we seem to endure every year at this time. Maybe we'll get a break in 2008.

This story first appeared in the metro edition of Monday's Daily News.
ARLINGTON (AP) - No question, Rafael Palmeiro is having a special year for the Texas Rangers. And the Rangers are going along for the ride.
Palmeiro homered and drove in two runs, and Aaron Sele scattered eight hits as the Rangers beat the playoff-hopeful Boston Red Sox 6-0 Sunday night for the third straight time.
"I'm just enjoying the streak I'm in right now," said Palmeiro, who tied single-season club records for homers and RBIs by a left-handed hitter. "I don't know anything about these records until you guys (reporters) tell me. I have no idea why (he's on such a streak). I just want to keep winning."
Palmeiro's sixth-inning solo homer was his 37th of the season, matching his Rangers record for a left-handed hitter set in 1993. His total of 117 RBIs equals Al Oliver's team left-handed mark set in 1980.
Palmeiro also set a team record with 29 RBIs in August and tied Juan Gonzalez's 1992 team record with his 12th homer in August. His 351st homer, which extended the Rangers' lead to 4-0, tied him with Dick Allen for 53rd place on the all-time list.
In his past seven games, he has seven homers and 17 RBIs. During the three-game series with Boston, Palmeiro finished with four homers and nine RBIs.
"Good month?" commented Rangers manager Johnny Oates on Palmeiro's August. "How about a good year. He's right on everything, whether it's a knuckleball or a fastball. It's a great time for him to have it."
Meanwhile, Sele allowed eight hits, struck out five and walked two as the Rangers dropped the Red Sox one game behind Oakland in the AL wild-card race.
Rusty Greer also drove in two runs for the Rangers, who finished the season series against the Red Sox with a 5-4 edge against a possible playoff opponent.
Oates said Sele's strong outing was the key to completing the three-game sweep.
"When you play good ballclubs, it's all about how well you pitch," Oates said.
Sele (14-7) beat his former team for the second time in five career decisions. Sele, traded from Boston to Texas before the 1998 season, pitched his second shutout of the season and fourth of his career.
He was supported by several outstanding defensive plays, and the Rangers turned double plays in the fourth and fifth.
Sele said beating his former team was nothing special.
"I look at it like they're just another good hitting team," said Sele, 4-1 in August. "You've got to keep the ball down against them. I just try and take the personality out of it and just pitch to them."
The Red Sox were 1-for-18 with runners in scoring position in the series.
"Sometimes you can score runs easy," said Boston manager Jimy Williams. "And sometimes it's like pulling teeth out of a duck."
Boston lost its fourth in a row and fifth in six games as knuckleballer Tim Wakefield (4-9) came from the bullpen to make his first start since June 8. Wakefield allowed six runs and eight hits over seven innings. He struck out four and walked two.
Texas (75-50) improved to 25 games above .500 for the first time since Oct. 1, 1977.

Unit labor costs in manufacturing decline the most in Germany, Denmark in 2000
May 03, 2002
Unit labor costs fell by 15.8 percent in dollar terms in German manufacturing in 2000. The next steepest decline was also in Europe—manufacturing unit labor costs in Denmark declined by 15.1 percent.
Of the 14 countries in the analysis, all except three experienced drops in manufacturing unit labor costs, expressed in U.S. dollars, in 2000. Unit labor costs rose by 1.0 percent in Korea, by 1.4 percent in the United States, and by 2.2 percent in Canada.
In these comparisons, unit labor costs are measured on a U.S. dollar basis and are strongly affected by changes in exchange rates. Movements in the currency markets in 2000 had a noticeable impact on comparative unit labor costs expressed in U.S. dollars. The European countries showed sharp decreases in unit labor costs expressed in U.S. dollars that were due largely to the relative strength of the dollar against European currencies in 2000.
These data are a product of the BLS Foreign Labor Statistics program. Data are subject to revision. Additional information is available in "International Comparisons of Labor Productivity and Unit Labor Costs in Manufacturing, 2000," BLS Report 962. Unit labor costs—the cost of the labor input required to produce one unit of output—are computed by dividing labor costs in nominal terms by real output. Unit labor costs also can be expressed as the ratio of hourly compensation to labor productivity.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, The Economics Daily, Unit labor costs in manufacturing decline the most in Germany, Denmark in 2000 on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2002/apr/wk5/art05.htm (visited September 29, 2016).

DeBrakeleer hopes to recapture LES lead in Legends division
Brandon DeBrakeleer's pursuit of a third consecutive Legends championship strayed off course at Lake Erie Speedway last weekend.
The Mill Village native entered Saturday's event with a five-point lead over 2010 division champion Jeremy Haudricourt, of Bliss, N.Y.
However, a broken front spindle on his No. 1 car, which occurred during a multi-car mishap early in the feature, forced DeBrakeleer out of the race and left him 28th in the 30-car field.
"It happened so quickly," DeBrakeleer said of the incident that dropped him to second in the standings -- 33 points behind Haudricourt -- with four points events left in the season.
"We'll be ready (for this Saturday's event)," he said. "Hopefully we'll be in position to win. We'll race as hard as we can. We might be able to pull it off."
DeBrakeleer said he bumped into a car while attempting to avoid the wreck in front of him. He wanted to resume racing after his crew repaired the damage in the pit area. Still, he said LES officials told him the field was too spread out on the track for him to return. DeBrakeleer said that likely cost him five spots in the race.
"It really hurt us in points," said DeBrakeleer, who would join Sharpsville's Will Thomas III (Late Models, 2008-10) and Westfield, N.Y., native Jonathon Breads (Compacts, 2008-10) as the only drivers to win three straight titles in the Greenfield Township asphalt track's 12-year history.
Meanwhile, Dan Bittinger, of Forestville, N.Y., has the inside track to a second straight Compacts title at LES. He holds a 44-point lead over Jeff Breads, of Westfield, N.Y.
Four regional dirt racers have a chance to win division titles at multiple tracks. Titusville's Robbie Blair leads the Super Late Model fields at Eriez Speedway and McKean County Raceway. He has a 192-point lead over Mike Knight, of Ripley, N.Y., at Eriez but holds a slim edge over Cyclone's Jason Dupont at McKean.
Springboro's Chad Wright stands atop the Fastrak Late Model lists at Eriez and Raceway 7. He leads Albion's Kyle Zimmerman by 106 points at Eriez and 174 at Raceway 7. Joel Watson, of Conneaut, Ohio, leads in E-Mods at Raceway 7 while standing second to Rich Michael Jr., of Ischua, N.Y., at Eriez.
Garland's Ryan Scott leads the Limited Late Models at Eriez and ranks second in the Limited Lates and Crate Late Models at Stateline Speedway.

Award for Scholarly Distinction
In 1984 the AHA Council established the American Historical Association Award for Scholarly Distinction to honor senior historians in the United States. Previous awards have gone to 77 eminent scholars.
AHA members are now invited to submit nominations. According to the selection criteria, recipients must be senior historians of the highest distinction who have spent the bulk of their professional careers in the United States. Generally, they must also be of emeritus rank, if from academic life, or equivalent standing otherwise. Under normal circumstances the award is not intended to go to former presidents of the Association; rather, the intent is to honor persons not otherwise recognized by the profession to an extent commensurate with their contributions.
The Committee on Honorary Foreign Members and Awards for Scholarly Distinction will serve as the jury and will recommend up to three individuals for approval at the Council's spring meeting. The Committee consists of the president, president-elect, and the immediate past president. The honoree(s) will be announced at the Association's annual meeting.
The annual deadline for receiving nominations is April 1.
A complete nomination should include (1) a letter of nomination that contains specific details addressing the criteria listed above and (2) a two- to three-page CV of the nominee with a summary of major publications and career highlights. Additional letters of support can also be submitted, provided the entire package does not exceed 10 pages in length. Nomination materials should be sent electronically to firstname.lastname@example.com, and include "Award for Scholarly Distinction: [Nominee's Name]" in the subject line.
2015 Awards for Scholarly Distinction
Ira Berlin, Univ. of Maryland, College Park
Ira Berlin's scholarship extends from the 15th to the 21st century; his influence on African American social history as broad and deep as any living scholar's. Berlin's influence crosses genre as readily as it crosses time and space. Berlin's recent publications reveal a tireless pursuit of meaning by an accessible writer with an immensely fertile mind.
Asuncion Lavrin, Arizona State Univ.
Asuncion Lavrin has become a benchmark figure in Latin American history and feminist historiography. Publishing in English and Spanish, Lavrin has transnational influence. Her focus has since ranged from masculinity and the priesthood to labor and the left in Chile and Argentina, and Lavrin has served on eight editorial boards as well as editing the Oxford Encyclopedia of Women's History.

AirDog action sports drone will let us view life in the third-person | Gearburn
"The one feature dearly lacking on a gopro is a set of wings. But the developers behind the AirDog have likely solved that problem with the creation of the "world's first auto-follow action sports drone" designed to film the user from high above."
The US$995 AirDog is a waterproof, foldable, quad-copter drone that has a quirkily attractive LEGO-like appearance, but features a gyro-stabilised gimbal that reduces camera shake while automatically adjusting pitch and yaw. It's serious machinery, developed by Helico Aerospace Industries, a group of extreme sports enthusiasts themselves."
This Quadcopter technology is going to change the way we interact with our quadcopters and finally we will have a way to film ourselves without breaking the bank!!!!

Bucks Promise for Youth & Communities Op-Ed: Vaping and Teens: Is it safe?
Bucks Promise for Youth & Communities Op-Ed
Vaping and Teens: Is it safe?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the smoking rate in the United States decreased by nearly 20% from 2005 to 2014. Legislation, advertising restrictions, higher taxes and education have contributed to this change. Now, community prevention coalitions are concerned that the e-cigarette may reverse this downward trend. Data from the CDC and FDA reveal that youth use of e-cigarettes tripled from 2013-2014 and surpassed the use of regular cigarettes.
E-cigarettes, also known as "ENDS" (electronic nicotine delivery systems), vape pens, vape pipes, e-hookahs, and hookah pens, produce a vapor through a nicotine-infused liquid heated by a battery-powered element. When the nicotine is heated to a certain temperature, the person vaping inhales tiny particles that can deposit in the small airways of the lungs. E-cigarettes, like tobacco cigarettes, have been found to contain formaldehyde, diethylene glycol (a chemical used in antifreeze) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as toluene, a known carcinogenic. A new Harvard study identified the presence of diacetyl, a flavoring chemical, in over 75 percent of the e-cigarettes and refill e-liquid samples tested. The inhalation of this chemical was responsible for "Popcorn Lung" disease among workers at microwave popcorn manufacturing plants, causing permanent scarring of lung tissue and severe respiratory disease. In addition, nicotine, a highly addictive substance, has been shown to interfere with adolescent brain development, and to increase teens' vulnerability to alcohol and other drug addiction.
Refill containers are not childproof. A break or spill can result in nicotine poisoning if liquid is absorbed through the skin. As vaping has grown in popularity, there has been a surge of calls to poison control centers. According to data from American Association of Poison Control Centers, 271 callers reported e-cigarette device and liquid nicotine exposures in 2011. In 2014, there were 3,957. Over half of these calls involved children under six years old. Another potential danger: the lithium battery can explode or overheat.
The tobacco advertising techniques banned by federal regulations do not apply to e-cigarettes. Billboards, radio ads, sports and celebrity sponsorships for e-cigarettes abound. There is a low perception of harm among youth regarding these products, as the word vapor implies simply water, yet ENDS actually produce an aerosol. With the exception of Philadelphia, there is currently no minimum age for purchasing e-cigarettes in Pennsylvania. The unregulated e-juice/e-liquid for vaping devices is available in flavors appealing to youth such as gummi bear and chocolate candy bar. One study identified over 7,700 e-cigarette flavors, with over 240 new flavors added monthly.
Another concern is that the device may be used to vape marijuana concentrates, which can contain up to 80% THC, the psychoactive chemical in cannabis. Detection is difficult because most concentrates emit very little odor, lacking the typical marijuana smell. This presents a challenge for schools and parents. Other drugs can be vaped as well.
While some may promote the e-cigarette as a quitting aid to cigarettes, there has been no conclusive scientific study to verify its contribution to long-term cessation. In fact, current data indicates that the majority of ENDS users engage in both e-cigarette and tobacco cigarettes. Furthermore, recent studies suggest that e-cigarette use among youth may lead to eventual cigarette smoking. We must exercise caution, and understand that these products have addictive potential and warrant vigilance, particularly regarding youth use.
Bucks Promise for Youth & Communities is supported by the Bucks County Commissioners and is made possible by a grant through the Bucks County Drug and Alcohol Commission, Inc.

Donna Foisy HAS BEEN NAMED THE 2016 ADVOCATE OF THE YEAR BY COMMUNITY ANTI-DRUG COALITIONS OF AMERICA
Award recognizes individuals who are exceptional advocates for drug prevention field
Bucks County, PA. Donna Foisy, Project Coordinator of Bucks Promise for Youth and Communities has been named the 2016 Advocate of the Year by Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA), the nation's leading substance abuse prevention organization representing over 5,000 community anti-drug coalitions across the country. She will accept the award on Thursday, Feb. 4 during CADCA's 26th annual National Leadership Forum being held Feb. 1-4 at the Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center in National Harbor, Md.
This award recognizes substance abuse prevention leaders who are exceptional advocates for our field, forging relationships and educating their elected officials throughout the year about key substance abuse-related issues and helping to ensure that Members of Congress understand the importance of community coalitions.
"CADCA is thrilled to be able to recognize Foisy this year at our most important training event. Foisy is a tireless advocate for the substance abuse prevention field and her efforts have made a tremendous national impact," said CADCA's Chairman and CEO, Gen. Arthur T. Dean.
"I am grateful to be recognized and feel honored, but, the work that I do represents a collective effort done in preventing substance abuse in Bucks County."
CADCA's National Leadership Forum is the nation's largest training for substance abuse prevention and treatment professionals and researchers, featuring more than 80 training courses to help community and state leaders prevent and reduce substance abuse and its related problems. The event, which brings together more than 2,500 community and state leaders, offers participants an opportunity to learn effective strategies to solve their community's substance abuse and violence problems, and to hear from the country's leading experts on drug prevention, treatment and recovery.

Parents must be vigilant to prevent abuse of cough medicines
The following is an article that was written for publication the local Bucks County newspaper, The Intel. The article ran on October 27, 2015.
As children across our area transition back to school - and parents begin their renewed worry about what a new school year will bring - it is a good time for community drug and alcohol prevention coalitions to remind parents about the importance of their role in keeping their children drug- and alcohol-free. Research shows that children, whose parents talk to them about the dangers of alcohol and drugs, including prescription and over-the-counter medications, are half as likely to misuse or abuse these substances.
Each cold and flu season, Pennsylvanians rely on products containing dextromethorphan (D)ß4), a safe and effective cough suppressant , to treat common cold symptoms. DXM is found in more than 100 cough and cold medicines, and can be purchased over the counter. Unfortunately, some people use medicines containing DXM for purposes other than what manufacturers have intended. Across the country some teens have reported taking large amounts of over-the-counter medicines containing DXM to get high.
Data collected in 2014by the National institute on Drug Abuse for its "Monitoring the Future" study estimates the intentional abuse of OTC cough medicine among eighth-graders at 2 percent, 10th graders at 3.7 percent and l2th-graders at 4.1percent. An empty beer can or pack of cigarettes in the trash would immediately grab a parent's attention, but an empty bottle or box of cough medicine may not arouse any suspicion if a parent is unaware of DXM abuse.
Because these medicines can be easily accessed in a teen's home or at the store, it is vital that parents and other community members know and understand the risks. Teens report taking 25 times or more the recommended dose when abusing these medicines, which leads to side effects such as nausea, vomiting, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, blurred vision and disorientation, and can be life-threatening.
Furthermore, only 59 percent of teens strongly believe that abusing OTC cough medicine to get high is risky which means that nearly half believe it is not. That is why limiting access to medicines containing DXM is a critical step to reducing incidences of abuse among children.
While there is no one solution to preventing medicine abuse, as community coalition leaders we know that implementing restrictions on sales of products containing DXM to those 18 years or older would be an effective way to reduce access to minors while maintaining access for parents and other adults. Sen. Robert Casey has introduced legislation in the past to ensure minors are unable to purchase products with DMX to get high. With legislation supported by groups such as the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America, and by increasing parental awareness, we believe we can be successful in curbing DXM abuse. Youth need to understand that it is never safe to abuse medicine, even those available without a doctor's prescription.
Talk to your children and monitor your medications. Safely dispose of expired or unneeded medications.
There are educational tools available online at www.StopMedicineAbuse.org for both teens and adults. Spread the word. Your efforts will contribute to a safer community.

Tiny Kitchens: Beauty & Function in a Small Space
Perhaps the most crucial element of the small kitchen is the careful editing of objects and appliances. This can be practical not only because storage space is limited, but because in many small kitchens, stored objects are visible, becoming part of the decor as well as functional tools for living. Many of the small kitchens pictured use clever storage solutions like magnetic strips for knives, hanging pot racks, and wall hooks for everything from mugs to stirring spoons to bowls.
Here is a range of small kitchen inspiration from the Apartment Therapy community in 2010. Which are your favorite storage solutions? And which approach do you prefer, white with accents or color color color?

This is a huge problem, not only for those who want to post simple comments of appreciation, but even more so for those who want to engage in civil discussion on the challenges that face us in the public square. More and more people are recognizing this problem, and various websites are trying to make changes to address it.

Media are all atwitter about a new Nature study by researchers at McGill University and the University of Minnesota that compares organic and conventional yields from 66 studies and over 300 trials. In extrapolating the study's findings to the charged question of how to feed the world, more than a few got it all wrong. The core finding of the study is that "yield differences [between organic and conventional] are highly contextual, depending on system and site characteristics." In other words, sometimes organic does better, sometimes conventional does. In fact, the... Read More

The official announcement stated that the ban had been imposed "in order to protect the health and safety of the people" and gave a phaseout timeline of four years. Paraquat is listed as a highly hazardous pesticide, and, according to Keith Tyrell, Director of PAN UK, paraquat ...is one of the deadliest pesticides available in the world today.

With up to 80% of the non-organic products on our shelves containing GE ingredients, and little-to-no studies on their long term health effects, people across the country are concerned. And people in California are demanding the right to know. With a spot on the ballot now virtually secured, Californians will have the... Read More

When a pregnant woman is exposed to low levels of a commonly used pesticide, the architecture of her developing infant's brain may be irreversibly damaged. This according to researchers who for the first time used MRI testing to see structural evidence of harm from exposure to the insecticide chlorpyrifos during fetal development. Researchers report that the changes in brain structure they observed were consistent with the learning and developmental effects (including reduced IQs) that have been linked to chlorpyrifos. The effects were observed at exposure levels well below those... Read More

For more than 50 years, Dow Chemical Company and Shell Oil knowingly included a highly toxic waste chemical in their fumigant pesticide products, rather than paying to dispose of it properly. The chemical, 1,2,3-trichloropropane (TCP), is a known carcinogen. TCP is considered a "garbage" chemical because it is a by-product of the plastics manufacturing process — it is not intentionally produced. By including TCP in their fumigants, which are widely used in California to kill nematodes, Dow and Shell Oil contaminated drinking water in communities throughout the San... Read More

If we set our minds to it, we can turn back the rising tide of autism. But it will take the courage to embrace the following common-sense goal, in both policy and practice: Expecting parents and young children should not take in chemical contaminants that are known to harm developing minds. This week, scientists released a list of exactly which contaminants we're talking about. The top 10 chemicals contributing to autism and learning disabilities include commonly used pesticides, as well as chemicals found in many consumer products. The scientists tell us the list is likely to grow. But... Read More

Today, on April 25th, we celebrate World Malaria Day. It's an opportunity to reflect on a serious disease that still affects far too many of the world's poor. For Africans like myself, it is also an opportunity to highlight an on-the-ground perspective of how best to control malaria. We've seen that the most effective strategies don't rely on chemical solutions, but on a comprehensive set of tools like biological control of disease vectors, environmental management, individual protections and public health education.

On Wednesday, she asked President Obama to investigate Monsanto's "pesticide poisonings and livelihood harms" in her community and beyond. It makes perfect sense. After all, both the genetically engineered soy beans that now surround her small Argentine community — and the herbicide those beans are designed to withstand — were produced and aggressively marketed by a...

Glosses claiming to plump the lips typically do so by including irritating ingredients in the formula, and Cinnamon Plumping Lip Oil is no exception. Peppermint oil and pepper extract deliver a warm tingling sensation to temporarily make lips appear fuller. But, this is irritating to the lips, and in the long run, leads to chapping and other problems because chronic irritation hurts healthy collagen production, leading to thinning of the lips.
Otherwise, this is a basic, shiny lip gloss that comes in a singular, sheer red shade with a sticky finish. While it does contain some beneficial plant oils, it's not worth the tradeoff for the amount of irritation it incites.

Remember lip venom?
By Annette D.
from undisclosed
Comments about Bite Beauty Cinnamon Plumping Lip Oil:
I think nordstroms gave me a sample of lip venom. I with out a doubt hated that product! I hate lip plumpers!I believe that product contained cinnamon! Another product I absolutely loathe is too faced lip injection color bomb! All I can say is it's for those whom want to feel the burn. I think. It was on my lips less than a minute. I just looked at what it say on the packaging of the too faced product"bee sting" no wonder I loathe it.

Strengths: Richly pigmented Cashmere Lip Cream; several beautiful lip color options; a couple balm-like products to soothe chapped lips; good lip exfoliant; the bulk of the formulas contain natural ingredients that are beneficial (or at least not harmful) for the skin and lips.
Weaknesses: Cinnamon Plumping Lip Oil is extremely irritating; some of the lip colors tend to bleed; flavored formulas are tempting to lick off, which can lead to chapping and dryness; not all their ingredients are natural, many products contain synthetic coloring agents
Bite Beauty is a Canadian-based cosmetics company centered on lip-care and lip-color products formulated with natural ingredients. Although the "natural" spin is attractive to some consumers, it doesn't necessarily translate into better or safer cosmetics
(read this article for more info).
As a nice change of pace (and as mentioned above), the majority of Bite Beauty's formulas do indeed contain natural ingredients that are beneficial (or at least not harmful) for the skin and lips. The exception is the Cinnamon Plumping Lip Oil, which contains an irritating amount of peppermint oil. The preponderance of natural ingredients doesn't make these products inherently better, but if a product being "all" natural is important to you, then you should know that some of the Bite Beauty products contain synthetic coloring agents.
Bite Beauty takes things even further, saying that their products are "healthy enough to eat" (hence the name Bite Beauty). We certainly don't recommend eating your cosmetics; just because an ingredient comes from a natural source and is then formulated into a cosmetic doesn't mean it's edible!
As a matter of fact, Bite Beauty's naturally flavored products make it tempting to lick your lips, which in the long run can lead to chapping and a cycle of constantly applying more flavored lip balm, licking it off, then feeling the urgent need to apply more—and none of these lip products should be eaten. For vegans, you should be aware that some of these products contain lanolin, which is an animal-derived ingredient. There's nothing wrong with lanolin, but a cosmetics company selling their products as edible should be more forthcoming with this issue for those who wish to avoid animal-derived ingredients.
Another big marketing ploy is Bite Beauty's claims about their products containing the antioxidant resveratrol, in amounts equivalent to five, ten, or fifteen glasses of red wine, depending on the particular product. This is a meaningless claim, and here's why: First, we hope they don't mean a dual benefit; that is, being able to eat your lipstick and get resveratrol onto your lips and into your body. Second, while resveratrol is a great antioxidant, how much you need to gain a health benefit is unclear from the research. Third, the amount of resveratrol in an average glass of red wine ranges from 0.2 to 2.0 mg, which isn't much. Plus, if you want resveratrol, you can buy resveratrol supplements that contain 100–500 mg per capsule!
In short, resveratrol is a good antioxidant, when applied topically or when consumed; just don't get caught up in thinking it will work wonders for your lips. Clearly, Bite Beauty is capitalizing on a buzz ingredient here—and skin care, especially for the lips, is never as simple as one ingredient, however good it may be.
Those issues aside, in terms of performance, Bite Beauty does have some standout products, including their richly pigmented Cashmere Lip Cream. The price point is on the high end for lip care (you can find less expensive options on our Best Lip Products list); you certainly don't have to pay this much to get a good lipstick or gloss. However, if the price isn't an issue for you, and you find the allure of natural ingredients hard to resist, then this line is worth checking out.
Bite Beauty is sold exclusively at Sephora; the brand also has a flagship store in New York.

News for Moms – use smiles, food, eye contact, touch and motion to help that avoidant baby!!
Babies – treat now, not later!! Have that baby that won't look at your face, even if standing on your head? Will look at your mouth or nose, yet not your eyes, especially when you are holding them? That baby that won't snuggle deep in your arm? That baby that you just don't FEEL cares if you are around or not, or seems to care until you pick them up? Doesn't cry or coo? Frets and whines a lot? Very withdrawn or passive? Has poor muscle tone? Slow to creep, crawl or sit up? Is called a "too good baby"? Has no joy that touches their soul? Has a history of multiple caregivers and or neglect? Or chronic inconsolable pain?
If so, your baby or toddler most likely has signs of attachment disorder. If not helped, there is GREAT danger for their emotional healthiness, as well as the lives of those they touch. By age 5 they can be hurtful to pets, have frequent lying, be extremely manipulative, devious and destructive. It only gets worse. ACT NOW!!
There is help out there, and the sooner you start, the sooner the baby can get on with its job of being the center of the known universe. It works, I know from personal experience. There is no quick fix, and it can take years for total recovery, yet the longer you sit and do nothing, the more damage is done. Love alone with babies with attachment symptoms is not enough!!!! And yes, a few month old baby CAN BE DAMAGED!!! My daughter was 16 weeks old with many of the above symptoms when we got her. I know of others. I will use the name "baby and toddler" as one as well as "Mom" meaning the primary caregiver.
I wish you all the best in your adventure. No one is superhuman, and there will be times when you cannot do all you want with your baby. Take heart, NO ONE can do it all!! If your baby is getting emotionally closer to YOU, you are doing great and giving the baby a priceless gift. I have worked with older children with attachment problems also, and believe me, NOW is the easiest and best time to start!! God bless you on your adventure!

Please feel free to copy this paper and give to anyone who might use it.

Okay, so maybe there is something that goes together better than salt and pepper… Salt and vinegar is a pretty hard combination to top, and that said, our Salt n' Vinegar popcorn is even harder to beat. We drizzle on the perfect amount of vinegar and sprinkle the right bit of salt all over our popcorn. You wouldn't want them separated.

Boot & Shoe (edition 2012)
by Marla Frazee, Marla Frazee (Illustrator)
Work details
Boot & Shoe by Marla Frazee
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A lighthearted story. I love how Frazee sets her illustrations up. On one page you see Boot and all the things he is struggling with and then on the opposite page you see Shoe and everything that he is struggling with.
Story of two dogs; boot and shoe. Who do everything together, except one sits on the back porch in the day and the other the front porch. One day they chase a squirrel and end up on the opposite side of the house and wait for each other, they spend all day and all night waiting for the other one who never comes. But are brought back together by their "peeing tree" and are reunited.
Boot and Shoe are two dogs that have done everything together since they were born. One day a squirrel starts trouble and they can't find each other. They don't want to move from each other's spots because they don't want to do anything without each other. Until they have to pee and go to their specified bush is, when they finally find each other.
Two dogs, born in the same litter, live together but have opposite but predictable preferences and routines. When a squirrel enters their lives one day, their worlds are turned upside down. It appears that chasing the squirrel has jumbled their routines. Desperate for the comfort of their counterparts, the dogs search for one another in their usual spots. However, because one is looking for the other, and vice versa, they find themselves in a seemingly endless search. That is until that finally discover each other the next day at their food dishes, a daily routine that they share with each other. This book is fun, but also carries the message that celebrates friendship and differences.
This is a simple story about two good dog friends that do everything together, eat sleep, pee except during the day one likes to sit on the front porch and one likes to sit on the back porch. This works well until one day a squirrel causes all sorts of havoc and the two dogs end up on the others porch. They sit and wait all day for the other one to return to the porch broken-hearted. They have almost given up hope in the morning when they separately go to their favorite tree to pee and lo and behold there they both are! The illustrations in the book are drawn with prismacolor pencil and gouache. They are realistic and the chase that the squirrel leads both dogs on is absolutely amazing! Readers of all ages are sure to enjoy this tale of friendship.

Product Details
Our classic cable V-neck sweater is back, and just in time for the chillier months ahead (there's a reason it never goes out of style).
Size & Fit Details
Cambridge cable V-neck sweater
Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 25 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Shoequeen Wonderful design idea... BUT made with CHEAP WOOL! I purchased two of these sweaters and was really excited to have them arrive and wear them. Well, after only a few days of wear (2-4), each sweater is now covered in giant pills on the body, armpits and arms. They look horrible and worn out!!! I look at them and am very disappointed in being tricked by good reviews. My sweaters are less than a month old.... BUT look like I purchased them many,many years ago, or bought them at a thrift shop, or a garage sale. Wonderful design idea... BUT Executed in the WORST/CHEAPEST WOOL AVAILABLE!!! Lately this seems to be a norm with J.Crew sweaters in this price range. I used to say 'I LOVE J.CREW", But many of the resent garments are being produced with the cheapest fabrics available. Am starting to re-think where I spend my hard earned cash! March 4, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by aTallDrinkofWater absurdly wide sleeves I ordered this in my usual alpha size (L). I have several Cambridge cable v-neck sweaters from past years in size L. This year's version is nice and soft with a looser fit in the body, which is fine with me, but the sleeves are way, way too wide. The sleeves could be at least 50% narrower. (I am 6 ft tall with broad shoulders and slim/toned arms.) The sweater looks ridiculous as is. Sizing down wouldn't even help. Maybe if you're just looking to layer underneath this sweater and not wear it alone, the wide sleeves wouldn't be an issue, but I wanted to wear it alone or with just a cami underneath. November 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by KristyElizabeth Little Snug, Little Loose The arms on this are loose which I don't have a problem with, the body is roomy, which I'm not going to complain about during holiday dinner season, however and maybe it's just me, the chest is snug. I'm keeping it because I think going up a size would make it look like I was wearing my boyfriend's sweater but I do wish J. Crew had cut this a bit differently; providing the same amount of room for the "girls" as they did for the midsection and arm area. December 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sheels Classic Sweater in lovely colors! I have 6-7 shades from couple of years collection. These sweaters look classy on a button-down shirt and formal trousers work wear. Absolutely love the colors. It fits well and holds its shape for years to come. September 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by bunnie1 Ivory V-Cable The V-Neck cable sweater is the perfect weight to wear with my tissue turtlenecks. I love the ivory, it's classic. The merino is nice too! For ref., I purchased a XXS, I'm 92lbs. 4'11. Not baggy, fits great. This sweater is a keeper! December 6, 2014

It's funny how sometimes the imperfections in a car make it more popular at a show. I mean, sure, it'd be nice to address all the damage and wear a car's suffered over the decades, but it's not always possible or even desirable to do so. Take, for instance, this 1951 Hudson ... Read more

The Yellow Jackets come into this series with a 31-22 record overall and an 11-16 record in ACC play. Most projections have them as a three seed in a regional.
With a series win here, they won't have to sweat much on selection Monday. With a series loss, and certainly with a sweep at the hands of UM, they might find themselves on the outside looking in. Their RPI and strength of schedule would likely be right in line with tournament teams, but it's going to be a hard sell for the committee to allow a team with a 12-18 or 11-19 conference record in.
As so many Georgia Tech teams have before, this team is led by their offense.
As a team, they have a .295 batting average. Their leading hitter is junior outfielder Brandon Thomas. Thomas sports a .366 batting average and an absurd .472 on-base percentage. He is also second on the team with 12 steals.
Not to be outdone, Sam Dove is hitting .341 with a .409 on-base percentage and ten steals.
Much of the power production on this team comes off the bats of Jake Davies and Daniel Palka. Davies, a senior first baseman, is hitting .320 with eight home runs and a team-leading 55 RBI. Palka, a sophomore, is hitting .301 with 11 home runs and 44 RBI.
The pitching staff doesn't have much quality depth, but they are solid at the top.
Ace starter Buck Farmer is 7-3 on the season with a 3.49 ERA. In 87.2 innings pitched, Farmer has struck out 96 hitters. Cole Pitts (4-4, 4.76) gives GT a solid second starter.
The ace of the bullpen is undoubtedly Alex Cruz. On the season, Cruz, in 25 appearances, has a 1.67 ERA and a .165 batting average against. To give you an idea of the lack of depth in the bullpen behind Cruz, no other pitcher has more than 15 appearances out of the bullpen.
The Yellow Jackets sorely miss junior Luke Bard. Last year's regular closer, Bard had a 0.99 ERA and .211 batting average against to start the season, but he hasn't pitched in weeks.
I think we're in for a really good series. These teams are very similar, but are polar opposites in terms of what they do well. Because of this, every pitch will be hard-fought. I'll be the eternal optimist and say that Miami takes two of the three on the road in Atlanta to end the regular season on a good note.

Increase in job-related homicides in 2000
August 28, 2001
The number of job-related homicides rose from 651 in 1999 to 677 in 2000—the first increase in six years.
However, the total number of workplace homicides in 2000 was still 37 percent lower than the high of 1,080 homicides reported in 1994. For those workplace homicides where the motive could be determined, homicides in which robbery was the initial motive increased from 255 cases in 1999 to 291 cases in 2000.
In the retail trade industry, the number of job-related homicides rose from 264 in 1999 to 310 in 2000. Outside of retail trade, the number of homicides actually declined between 1999 and 2000, from 387 to 367.
These data are a product of the BLS Safety and Health Statistics Program. Additional information is available from "National Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries, 2000," news release USDL 01-261.

10 Rappers We Want To See Live With The Roots
The Roots have collaborated with nearly everyone in hip hop. As the rap scene's resident band, they've made music with everyone from Jay Z and Kanye to Rae Sremmurd and Miley Cyrus. There's literally nobody they can't pair up with, and their residency on Jimmy Fallon's talk shows has proven that.
AARP: Best Rappers Over 40
Isn't it crazy how some rappers just refuse to retire? Take Jay Z for example, he retired about a decade ago and that lasted all of no time at all. It's hard to put down something you truly love, and even though rap is a young man's sport, this list is dedicated to those who hardly age.
Stream Madonna's "Rebel Heart," Featuring Nicki Minaj, Nas & More
Madonna has been keeping a foot in the rap game lately, with reports that she's been working with Kanye West on his new album, as well as possible collaborations with Drake in the works after he titled a song on her behalf.
Classic Rotation: Gang Starr's "Hard To Earn"
1994 was a very important year for hip hop music. What 1969 was for psychedelic rock, or what 1977 was for disco, 1994 was for hip hop. It was an absolutely shaping year that prepared an underground art for mainstream explosion. Albums like Illmatic and Ready To Die spearheaded the movement, but albums by O.C., Warren G and Gang Starr also helped to sculp the scene.
Stream Fashawn's New Album "The Ecology"
Fashawn's new album has been a long time coming. Finally the rapper was able to lock in a release date for the sophomore effort, after inking a deal with the Nas-helmed record label Mass Appeal. The album is due out on February 24th, and with the release date around the corner, he's letting us hear it a few days early.
Drake & Nas To Perform Together At Sprite Concert Friday Night [Update: Drizzy Brings Out Kanye, Travi$ Scott & ILoveMakonnen]
All-Star weekend is definitely upon us. With Kanye West gracing the stage at tonight's 1st Annual Roc City Classic Event, we now have word that Drake and Nas will be doing the same tomorrow night.
Top Tracks Of The Week: February 3 - February 9
After a few paltry weeks, we finally have a chart we can be proud of. Good on you, HNHH fam. Our Top 100 chart contained a number of notable tracks this week. These are songs that generated a lot of interest, whether it be through comments or views, and still deserve a second look or a deeper consideration.
Nas "Not Surprised Cops Still Murdering People"
Nas has always been one to say how he feels. From speaking on the conditions in the streets of New York on his classic debut Illmatic, to speaking on his personal life in his latest album, Life is Good, Nas has been somewhat of an open book in good times and bad. In a recent interview with GQ Magazine, Nas was asked if, due to his history in New York, he was surprised cops are still killing innocent people.
Chance The Rapper, Nas, Mike Tyson Featured On Madonna's "Rebel Heart" Album
Madonna had the inconvenience of having demo versions of half of her album leak late least year, causing her to rush release 6 tracks well before the release of the album. At the time, Madge had not even secured a final tracklist, but today, she's released the official selection.
Review: Fabolous' "The Young OG Project"
Fabolous has always done a solid job at blending in with his environment. Whether he's cutting with DJ Clue and The Neptunes in 2001 or jiving with Rich Homie Quan in 2015, he's done a phenomenal job at adapting to change and staying relevant, something that is easier said than done.
Samples Of The Week: January 1 (Fabolous Edition)
When hip-hop began, samples were all that DJs and producers had to construct instrumental tracks with. They'd dig through crates of vinyl trying to find isolated drum breaks, melodies or vocals that they could repurpose for use in hip-hop music. Today, sampling has become less common, but a choice sample can still push a track from lukewarm to hot faster than you can say "uh-huh honey".
Nas: The Fact That The US Is Still Fighting Over Race Is "Embarrassing"
It's no secret that Nas cares deeply about the "Black Lives Matter" movement that's risen in the wake of Michael Brown and Eric Garner's murders, as he was out protesting with Russell Simmons in NYC on Saturday.
Nas & Russell Simmons March In NYC Protest
Yesterday in New York, the "Millions March" protest against police brutality took place. The March comes in wake of the deaths of Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Akair Gurley, and Tamir Rice, all black males who were killed by police officers over the last couple of months. The turnout for the protest was tremendous, with estimates of 50-100,000 people in attendance. Among the activists were Nas, Russell Simmons, and Def Jam Vice President Kevin Liles, their presence being documented on social media.
#TBT: AZ's Early Cuts
Brooklyn-born Anthony Cruz isn't one of the 10 greatest rappers of all time. He hasn't released a platinum record and most of his accolades are due to a relationship with Nas. However, most critics who know their stuff will tell you that AZ is vastly underrated, and even albums like Illmatic would have suffered had he never picked up the mic.
Nas' Daughter Launches Lip Gloss Line Called "Lipmatic"
In 1994, we got the seminal hip hop classic, Illmatic, 20 years later we have lip gloss' answer to the record, Lipmatic. That's right, a new makeup line has launched with a name inspired by Nas' debut record, and it's none other than Nas' own daughter behind it.
#TBT: Nas' Portrait Albums
Nas' first four albums famously wore portraits of the MC in a different light. He was a kid on Illmatic. He was an adult on It Was Written. He was a pharaoh on I Am... He was Nostradamus on Nastradamus. The uniformed imagery paired with the super-strong material he was laying down creates a consistency that no other MC has matched. Not to add fuel to a dead fire, but Jay Z's Volumes just weren't quite as strong as Nas' first four albums...let's face it.
Samples Of The Week: November 6
When hip-hop began, samples were all that DJs and producers had to construct instrumental tracks with. They'd dig through crates of vinyl trying to find isolated drum breaks, melodies or vocals that they could repurpose for use in hip-hop music. Today, sampling has become less common, but a choice sample can still push a track from lukewarm to hot faster than you can say "uh-huh honey". This week, see who Nas, Wu-Tang Clan and Rockie Fresh sampled on their recent tracks, all of which can be found on HNHH.
Nas Previews New J Dilla-Produced Single
Run The Jewels are earning critical-acclaim from just about every major publication for their new Run The Jewels 2 LP, but the biggest story to come from their fan appreciation night came from an entirely different hip-hop act: Nas. Dropping by the venue to support his Mass Appeal signees, the Queensbridge emcee offered some words of wisdom to Mike & Jamie before offering to preview his new single for all of the lucky attendees.
Pete Rock Releases "Time Is Illmatic" Mixtape
Legendary producer Pete Rock has teamed up with all of the original producers featured on Nas' Illmatic for a brand new mixtape. Titled after the film of the same name, Time Is Illmatic is forty minutes of remixed glory.
Bishop Nehru's Next Album To Be Executive Produced By Nas
Bishop Nehru may have just dropped his new album with MF DOOM, NehruvianDOOM (which we reviewed here), but he's already got his next project lined up, with assistance from one of rap's living legends.

Since then, taken over by lunatics that believe that for some reason, advanced alien civilizations have come to earth, are studying our assholes, and make contact with Roscoe and Billy Bob near their moonshine still in West Virginia.

The Play Store describes Prune as "a love letter to trees." It is an award-winning puzzle game. Earlier this year it was released for iOS, and now it is available in the Play Store, so you really should check it out.
The Prune gameplay involves cultivating trees. As your tree starts to grow, you must trim its branches carefully to ensure that it reaches its fullest height. The branches flower when they hit the sun, and once a specific number of them have flowered, that means you have beat that level. As you continue to progress, the number of objects standing in your way of succeeding grow also.

No Limits
This game is completely the opposite of Prune. It is loud and big, and the most recent game from a long-running racing series. A number of titles have been pushed out by EA on Android. This most recent installment has you competing in races so that you can improve your car and reputation.
No Limits takes place within an urban setting. Quite frequently the races are short and sweet- with some taking less than one minute to finish- which makes them perfect for short sessions. The environment and cars look and feel are nailed by EA. The game is also very polished, but in-app purchases should be expected.
This game features zombies and is a free-to-play runner. The idea is completely unoriginal, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy playing QuickBoy, especially since it is such a well-crafted game.
With QuickBoy, the territory will seem familiar. This side-scrolling auto-runner requires precise timing for jumping over obstacles and avoiding enemies. It has fantastic presentation. Everything takes place inside a post-apocalyptic tan-colored world. Everything is carefully considered, even the menus. You are rewarded for your well-timed jumps by a cool combo system. If you are finished with Fallout Shelter, then try out the apocalypse in QuickBoy until Fallout 4 comes out.
