Game - Farm Frenzy 2 Review and Download

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 21:14:00 +0700

Sequels can either be miles from the original, or be too similar to the original. In both cases the risk is that the sequel won’t work. In the case of Heavy Mach 2 the sequel went in a completely own direction, and in the case of Farm Frenzy 2 the sequel is almost the same as the original.

The gameplay is the same as the first, you have to fulfil certain conditions to pass a level. Getting a set number of eggs, bags of floor or chickens are the same as the original. The controls issues are also the same as the original. At time it is too hard to actually perform the action you want as the screen gets crowded with chicken, cows and grass. The different machines for transforming raw materials into produce have been moved slightly to give a bit more playing area.

Of course some things have been added such as the plane letting you buy additional products. It still feel like the same game as the first, and that is not a bad thing indeed as the original got an Editor’s Choice award from me, along with 4 stars. But failing to really add anything really new the sequel is bit of a disappointment to me.

The sound and music are the same as the original, and I immediately turned the music off. Sure it was likeable in the first game, but now it annoyed me too much with the crazy country madness. Sound effects at times sound broken, but you need to have it turned on to hear when the enemy bears arrive. You can play your own music in conjunction with the sound effects.

Screenshoot

Farm Frenzy 2 comes with 40 hours worth of quick farm time management fun bonanza. I actually get anxious when I look at the level selection map as there are so many levels to play. My wife who has to get gold medals for all levels can easily get 100 hours out of Farm Frenzy 2. There are also 19 achievements to go for. Gamelife is the main attraction to the game. As you progress new buildings and animals are added, and the gameplay is kept fresh. As an early level generally lasts for less than 3 minutes it is easy to play Farm Frenzy 2 for that quick break or wait in line. In the later stages of the game it turns into a real hardcore game with gold level goals to be achieved within 45 minutes, insane.

Farm Frenzy 2 improves slightly on the great original, but I had expected it to be further from the original. I hated the bears in the first game, and now they come in four versions that I hate even more. Farm Frenzy 2 is one of the best time management games for the iPhone, and if you enjoyed the original you will certainly like the sequel. If new to the franchise I think you should check out the lite version of Farm Frenzy 2 first to get a feel for it. The original also had a better tutorial, and without Farm Frenzy experience it is hard to get into the sequel.

How to Relieve Pain After Heart Drop Love

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 12:51:00 +0700

No one who does not feel pain after a breakup, especially if we are in the party decided lover. For some people, even a breakup can leave deep wounds that are difficult missing and last long.
Breakup is painful, but try not to get caught up in protracted grief. Reported by Your Romance Guide, there are nine ways you can do to relieve pain after a breakup:
1. Do not Meet with Former Lover Temporary After the breakup, avoid meeting or relate to your ex-lover. Feelings of shame that still exist may encourage you to call, send text messages or met him. But this action will only remind the pain out of love. You must be completely sever ties with the former, at least for several months to heal hurt feelings.
2. 'Enjoy' It's Pain It is very reasonable when we lose someone you love. When feeling pain, it means a sign that you're in the process of healing. Weep if you want to cry, and shout if indeed it can make sense of some relief. The pain after a broken love can inspire you to do something better, you never have before.
3. Self occupied The best way to heal wounds from broken love and forget the former is to keep myself busy. You will not be thinking about former lover, if not give the brain a chance to remember it. Try actively involved in various activities. Choose activities you enjoy. Not only refreshes the mind, many activities also divert your mind from the former.
4. Grief devote You Just To Friend Close It's okay to tell how hurt you after a breakup. But that does not mean you can talk to every person you meet. Instead of sympathy, these actions can actually make friends away from you. Bijaklah in addressing the 'tragedy' your breakup. Speak only in a friend or someone close to you, just understand you and want to hear any complaints. It would be better if that person can soothe, find solutions and encourage you to continue living.
5. Pour out your feelings in writing Spilling all the resentment in the writing could be other alternatives to relieve pain from broken hearts. Remove all the pain, frustration and anger you in the diary, piece of paper or computer (but do not pass it to the group email or social networking). After recovering from the and painful, you can read it again as a means of introspection to establish better relations with the next pair.
6. Meditation Meditation is one of the old techniques for relaxation and relax a tense mind. Sit quietly in your room, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and remove it slowly. While relaxing, you can keep negative things from your mind. Light the candles and aromatherapy instrumental music to add a sense of calm during relaxation.
7. Give Attention on the Family Parents, older brother or sister may be the people who have a big impact on your life. They will always be on your side good times and difficult. When a love affair with a former lover, maybe you do not provide much time for family. This is the time you devote much time and hanging out with family. Try to get them to recreation, or simply have dinner together. The warmth of the family is the most efficacious drug for heal wounds.
8. Focus on Careers Do not let grief interfere with your work performance. It may be hard to concentrate on work when we suffered a problem. But try to make a career as a priority in your life. With a focus on work, not only helps you forget the heartache, but also improve the performance of your work in the office.
9. Enjoy Solitude Recover from the pain of a breakup is not easy. Therefore, you need time to calm down for a while. Do not immediately try establishes a new relationship after a breakup to escape.

Game - Alien Stars review and Download

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Tue, 3 Jan 2012 21:49:00 +0700

Alien Stars is considered to be a remake to the good old fun-giver of a vertical shooter. Gamers with taste for a fighting relish are sure to find in Alien Stars a nice choice of monstrous creatures to drill through. The ever changing strategies of the attackers, a range of weapons in your arsenal and power-ups to boost the blast power are all summoned to make your missions ever so diverse and entertaining. Alien Stars is a solid bit of fun you can add to the collection of chosen ones.

Alien StarsAccording to the game’s plot you are sent to protect two remote systems from the hordes of blood-thirsty Biodos, the embodiment of evil. Your starship is powered with a blast weapon and energy supply, though to handle the perils you will need to rearm and recharge power drivers along the way. Solid control of the ship moves provides for a speedy response to ever emerging attackers and rocks. But reliance on it alone can be misleading as your enemies flood in with diverse patterns and speed. The way to succeed in the job is to focus all your senses on the screen and prepare for action. A final fight with a sinister boss is the moment of truth that consummates each mission.


Screenshoot

Alien StarsIn Alien Stars the traditional scenario of a vertical shooter got more diverse and distinguished with rich visuals and sound. Twelve fully-fledged missions lead you through star systems of both sides of the war. Only the hissing of missiles shrieks of alien creatures, and alarm warnings resound through the deadly silence of space. To cheer brave pilots up, however, the game makers entwined an encouraging background tune. Alien Stars features four difficulty levels, ranging from “for kids” to the hard one. They help accommodate to the rules of the game and comfortably slip into it.

Useful Freeware Review for Your Digital Life

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 12:26:00 +0700

Today’s post is to share a favorite applications (including web-based apps), based on years of sieving and experimentation. You’ll find many of them very handy. The amazing thing is – they are all freeware!
Total count: 22. I’ll add on over time as I find new gems. Enjoy!

E-mail: Gmail. Not exactly a software since it’s web mail, but its hands down the best email managing system IMO. (and I’ve used other email clients before like Outlook, Lotus, Yahoo).
Browser: Google Chrome. I switched from Firefox last year. It took some getting used to in the first week. But after that, I started loving Chrome. I love that it lets you shift your tabs around, unlike Firefox. It also lets you “pin” your frequently accessed pages so it becomes a small icon on the navigation. It’s fast, minimalistic in interface, and very reliable as a browser.
Calendar: GCal. Keeps all my schedules in check, and it’s web-based so you can access it anywhere – even your phone if it has the web-surfing function
Task Shuffler: Ever felt the need to move the programs around in your task bar? I know I do. This is an extremely handy program that allows you to do just that, simply via clicking/dragging/dropping. For Windows only. (Special thanks to reader Matt for sharing!)
Screen Capture: Snipping Tool if you are using Windows Vista (in built), Zap Grab if you are using other platforms. Just click and grab any part of the screen, and you have your image. Extremely useful.
Automated Computer Shut Down: Switch Off. Automatically Shuts down/Hibernates/Restarts/Logs Off your computer at a time you input. Great if you are downloading something which is taking a while but you need to leave your computer before it finishes.
Audio: Audacity. Free, open source software for recording and editing sounds.
Document Processor: Libre Office. This is almost a direct clone of MS Office set (Powerpoint, Word, Excel) – about 99.9% similar. I find it hard to believe that this is free! The only issue I’ve experienced so far is the slight change in formatting when you convert to MS office extensions (.doc, .xls) – but it’s manageable.
PDF: PDF Creator. Libre Office already comes with an inbuilt pdf creator. But if you want to create PDFs from other applications, PDF creator is for you. As long as there’s a “Print” option, you can generate a pdf from there.
Graphics Editing: GIMP. Very similar to Adobe Photoshop. Some functions are named and organized differently than Photoshop, so if you are a Photoshop user you can download GIMP Shop to change GIMP’s interface similar to Photoshop. The amazing thing is how GIMP packs with so much graphic editing prowess in such a small program (installer is 15.2meg, while Photoshop is over 700meg).
FTP: Filezilla. Excellent FTP program that does its job well. You got to love open source projects
Chat: GTalk. Extremely low-resource and fast chat application with functions that supersede MSN (example: logging of chat history which is integrated with and automatically saved in Gmail Chat folder). For even more functions (emoticons, group chat, etc), check out Gtalk Labs Edition.
Blogging: WordPress.org if you are looking to host your own blog and WordPress.com for the free hosted version. Personal Excellence is using WordPress.
Journal: Daily Diary. A very simple yet effective free journaling application that lets you type and store your entries on your computer. Comes with password protection and multiple journal creation for different purposes (e.g., record of different goals, areas of your life, etc)
Video player: VLC Media Player. The best multi-format media player. With so many different media formats out there, this one is a catch-all player that plays almost anything. And it’s resource light too.
Information Storage: Ever Note. Storage central for information captured across any environment – Computer, Web, Phone.
To-Do Lists: Remember The Milk. Very effective for getting your tasks in check. It’s web-based, which means you can access it anywhere.
Post-It Notes: Morun Sticky Notes. Minimalistic post-it notes on your desktop. Convenient placeholder for storing commonly-accessed or used information.
Mind Mapping: Free Mind. It’s a great open-source mindmapping software. Great tool and very user-friendly.
Timer: E.gg Timer. This is a web-based app and not an actual software. It’s an online stopwatch you can time yourself and it’ll beep at the end. Very useful if you want to timebox when doing a task, exercising, etc.
Internet Calls: Skype. Gtalk works great too as a backup. Both support video conferencing.
HTML Editor: NVU is a free, open source web editor, which you can use to build your website via a WYSIWYG editor (what-you-see-is-what-you-get). According to the website, it rivals programs as Adobe’s Dreamweaver and Microsoft’s Expression Web even, in functionality. Usually I use notepad for webpage edits outside of the WordPress platform, but when there’s heavy coding involved, NVU is a great time saver. I used it to build the PEBook and 30DLBL sales pages.

Game - Plants vs. Zombies Review & Download

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 10:47:00 +0700

Plants vs. Zombies mixes two very unlikely enemies in this charming and fun tower defense game. You've Never Played Anything Like This Before!

There is a horde of goofy zombies on the loose full of pole-vaulters, snorkelers, and Zamboni drivers and it is up to you to fill your garden with a wide array of protective plants, be it peashooters, sunflowers, wall-nuts, or cherry bombs. The gameplay itself is strongly in the realm of the tower defense genre where there are a set number of plots in your lawn where you can plant your plants and avenues which the zombies will then approach your house in waves, all of which you must repel to save your brains.

Truly Addictive and Strategic.

What makes Plants vs. Zombies so enjoyable is how addictive and accessible it is as well as the hilarious and zany setting. Whether it's planting a potato mine to take out a “Thriller” zombie or watching a poor wall-nut's look of despair as he gets eaten, the visuals and music do a great job of drawing you into the action. One of the great things about the gameplay though is the sheer variety, such as just when you get used to fighting the zombies in the day they start to attack at night and you have to learn a whole different strategy for your night-time vegetation.

The use of unlocking new plants at the end of each level and slowly changing the game dynamic is great for new players since it eases them into the difficulty. The only downside to this gentle learning curve is that it can take a while to reach truly challenging levels for more experienced players and this could be an annoyance. Yet even with this small issue, there are plenty of game modes that tower defense fans can test their skills on without too much main adventure gameplay.

So Many Other Game Modes and Mini-Games to Enjoy

For instance there is a survival mode which lets you keep your plants between levels and requires you to constantly change your garden as different waves of zombies come at you. This means you can try out some of the more exotic plants and has its own strategic challenges. Then there are several mini-games and puzzles which are quite entertaining, such as I, Zombie which flips the tables and has you deploying zombies in a delightfully evil twist.

Conclusion - One of the Best PC Strategy Values Available
Overall, Plants vs. Zombies provides an entertaining and addictive gameplay experience that draws you in with its charm and strategic complexity. Its wide array of plants, zombies, and level conditions keeps things fresh as you work your way through the 50 level main adventure and through the various other game modes. While the pace may not be to everyone's liking, the action can get rather intense and challenging if you only stick with it for a little while.

Considering the hours of enjoyable gameplay you can find, plus the relatively cheap price, Plants vs. Zombies is a great game for tower defense fans of any age.

Free Civilization: Strategy Game

FreeCiv is an Open Source game similar to the popular PC Civilization series by Sid Meier. Your goal is to build cities, collect resources, organize your government, and build an army.

FreeCiv features a lot of strategy and a ton of variety. You can choose to build many types of civilizations throughout history and take several different paths to victory. This game is completely free.

Some Player Review
by Pokefan68 (Birmingham, AL USA)

Freeciv is an excellent game but could use some other stuff. It’s fun to play and easy to learn but it’s long and difficult to win. I liked that the game is a free downloadable version of civilization and it gives more civilizations and game options. What I don’t like is that you can’t name your own civilization which can be done in civ 1 and 2. This game is fun but it takes a LONG time to finish but if you like turn-based strategy games then this is worth the download. If you aren’t then just give it a try and uninstall it if you don’t like it. This game is excellent for kids to learn about some history and to have fun at the same time. It’s good for adults who can’t find civ 1 and want to play some version of it. This game isn’t as good as civ 2 test of time in graphics but its easier to learn and play than it. That’s all I have to say so download and see if you like it or not.

by Julian (Cordoba, Argentina)

OK, here i will write what i thought, before and after playing and the pros and cons.
Note: This is/was being written as I download-play this game so don’t find it weird.

Before downloading:
Entered developers website, I think the download should be places over the source, since well, people will mostly download the compiled version.
I started downloading it and found the 13MB size very convenient since my slow internet doesn’t help.
I started installation and it installed very fast. I ran the game and I will now tell you what i think from looking at the game screen.
OK, now that i saw the game screen It looks like a empty main menu, It is just missing something. I come from a game creation website(down-loadable software) and i rate a lot of games monthly so i know what I am talking about. I also think that the main menu should have a link to the developers web site so if someone downloaded it second hand they can see updates done and can download the most recent version.

Now I am going to play so starting now i will write what i think of this game after play.
Instead of writing a long summary i will just write the pros and cons list so you do not get bored.

Pros:
Good graphics
You can change a lot of options

Cons:
I don’t know if its single or multi player.
No idea where to go.
When clicking on a character to move it a window pops up and it sometimes freezes.
No idea what the objective is.

I tried playing the tutorial but it doesn’t work for some reason.
If i understood the game it would be a good game so i will give this a rating of 3.

I hope people find this ‘‘useful’’ and basically read it since people will think its too long.

by Roy Gathercoal (Beautiful Pacific Northwest)

... although the implementation of the game could use some polish.

Freeciv is much, much better than others *because* it is open-source. Those willing to do the work have left their various marks on the game.

The result? You customize it to play solo or up to 30 humans. You pick nations, geographies, government systems, economics,and more: You get a great game and a high frustration potential.

Create your own land wars or a waterworld where ownership of the smallest piece of barren island makes the difference. Start with Babylonian vs. Phoenicians, play with stealth bombers and SETI programs, or both. At the same time!

This game offers the ultimate replayability potential. a simple change of the right two variables will produce an entirely new game.

In-game help is spotty so the online fora are critical. Documentation is awful.

Within the genre, Freeciv is more complex and customizable than most. You set a big stage, then play out representative units in their own roles.

Monetize Your Web Images with ISM

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 11:48:00 +0700

Image Space Media has an interesting idea: overlay images with advertisements that appear only when users hover their cursor over the image. Try it out by hovering your cursor over the larger images on this site. They’re currently calling it beta, so there’s every opportunity they’ll improve over time.

It already seems to work well, though. Hover your cursor over an image (such as my picture of the New York City Skyline at night), and an advertisement rises up from the bottom, covering about one-quarter of the image, as shown here (scaled down to fit this page).

There’s also a sharing icon in the upper-left corner that you can turn off. If the user clicks it, a full-page overlay appears that provides links to sharing on Facebook , Twitter, and e-mail. Several ads appear on the page, too, and it shows you popular and recent images. This picture shows a scaled-down version of the sharing page, however, since I’m currently using ISM on this site, you can experience it for yourself by hovering your cursor over it.

Once you’re hovering, you can click the advertisement or just move your mouse away. Once you move your mouse, the advertisement shrinks back down to one line. You have to reload the page if you want the ad to completely disappear.

Image Space Media ads sample

It’s smart enough to ignore small images, such as those you might use in menus. Occasionally, the advertisement wasn’t flush with the bottom of the image, but I’m sure they’ll work that problem at.

I run one of the Web’s largest photo albums and use Google AdSense to make a few bucks on it. I’d be thrilled if I could make a few more, and these ads are actually less intrusive than Google AdSense because they don’t take up any screen space and don’t even appear by default. It took about 12 hours for me to be approved, and only about 10 minutes to add the necessary JavaScript to my sites.

Two weeks later, my experience with ISM has been good. They start slow–very slow. In fact, due to what I imagine is a bug in the reporting, they show you as not making any money in your current day–I’m betting they only calculate earnings after midnight.

Here’s the last couple of weeks of earnings. You can ignore that dip on 3/22, as I removed the ads to determine whether they had an impact on site performance and page views per visitor (it was negligible, but I will test it again in the future):

The most important thing to notice is the gradual increase in earnings. Actual page views stayed relatively constant throughout this time period, but the earnings per ad (eCPM) gradually increased from $0.05 to $0.45. Their site warns you that it takes a while to get to know what works on your site, and that does seem to be the case. I’m now averaging $0.44 eCPM for my indie stock photo site and $0.39 for my technology blog. That’s nowhere in the ballpark of Google AdSense, but it’s a nice bonus on top of AdSense.

In summary, try out ISM on your blog or image site. In my experience, it makes a few bucks without significantly impacting the user experience.

Your 3 Step Plan to Burn Fat 24/7

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 14:36:00 +0700

I am sure you have heard about increasing your metabolic rate ( Base Metabolic Rate to be precise) and how it can help you burn more fat and calories, but is it possible to turn up the heat to such an extent that it can help you burn fat 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, HELL YES!!!!

The best part is that it is extremely easy to do and today I am going to show you my 3 step plan to help you burn fat 24/7, not just by increasing your metabolic rate, but also putting your body in an optimal fat burning state.

Step 1 : Workouts
One of the easiest and fastest ways to increase your metabolism is by doing the right kind of workouts. The good news is that the type of workouts you need to do is exciting and short. No more hours and hours of long boring slow cardio sessions for you! So what kind of workouts are we looking at?

Cardio

The first is HIIT ( High Intensity Interval Training ). Now HIIT comes in many formats from Tabata to EIIT ( Extreme High Intensity Interval Training ) but it is all the same thing really. You do a certain exercise for a period of high intensity ( Flat Out ) and then alternate it with a period of slow intensity or active recovery. So let’s say you are on the treadmill. You will then jog slowly for 30seconds and then speed it up to a sprint for 30seconds after which you will recover again for 30seconds. You will then continue this for around 20mins. Now research has shown that although you might burn less calories during the actual workout, you will actually burn more total calories as you raise your metabolism and you continue to burn fat for as long as 24 hours after your workouts.

Weight Training

Ever heard of Metabolic Resistance/Weight Training? No? Don’t worry, you have been doing a lot of it already as many of our home workouts are actually based on this system ( That is why you have been getting such great results :) ). MRT is a must if you want to skyrocket your metabolism to such heights that you will be burning fat 24/7. In fact, research has shown that MRT can actually raise your metabolism for over 30 hours after you stopped the actual workout. In simple terms MRT is where you do weight training with very little rest in-between sets. I just mentioned Tabata Training in the HIIT section and in fact that is a great type of MRT and one of the main reasons why you will see many of our home body weight workout videos based on this type of interval training. In fact if you have ever tried the 6WeekSixPack Challenge then you will know all about the effectiveness of this type of weight training as it is almost 100% based on this. MRT really takes that AFTERBURN effect you might have heard of to a whole new level and if you want to burn fat 24/7 you must make this type of workout part of your weekly routine. ( TIP: Search for full body or fat burning workouts on our site and you will find many workouts like this )

Step 2: Diet
The next step in setting yourself up to burn fat even while you sleep is to make sure you put your body in a fat burning state. There is no point in you working your butt off in the gym but you make it extra hard for your body to actually burn fat by eating the wrong kind of stuff. So let’s look at exactly what you should eat and do to make sure your metabolism stays nice and high and you release the right hormones to help you burn fat fast.

Breakfast

BORING, I know, you have heard it a million times. But unfortunately you will hear it one more time, YOU NEED TO EAT BREAKFAST! But it is not just about eating breakfast, you must eat the right kind of foods for breakfast. The first food you must eat is a lot of high quality complex carbs. Your body has just been in a fasting state for 8 hours, it needs carbs, NO, let me rephrase that, IT CRAVES CARBS! Combine that with a good source of protein and you are ready to go. ( Check out The Ultimate Breakfast that I eat almost every day )

5 to 6 Meals Per Day

Yip, you know this one as well I hope but what you must also know is that it is not just about eating regularly, but also about eating the right types of foods at the right time of day. In short, you want to eat protein with each one of your meals during the day but you want to eat a portion of complex carbs ( Sweet potato, Oats etc ) with that protein for first 3 meals of the day and then replace it with fibrous ( Veggies , Salads etc) carbs and fats for the last 2 or 3 meals of the day. This way you will feed your body energy when it needs it and not have an excess amount of carbs at the end of the day that will be stored as FAT!

Cheat Meals

You must have cheat meals! “What, did I hear that right, you said I should cheat on my diet!!!???” Yes you heard me right. But it is not just to give you a break from your normal diet, it is absolutely necessary to help you burn more fat over the long haul. How? Without going into too much detail here, you have certain hormones that help you body burn fat or puts your body in a fat burning state. When you go on a diet or calorie deficit meal plan some of these hormone levels start to fall as well which will have a direct impact on your metabolism and ability to burn fat. The great news is that one of the best ways to get these hormone levels back up to the right levels is to eat foods that contain simple carbs and fats, you know, the stuff you LIKE eating like cookies, pizza, lasagna etc. So you must incorporate cheat meals into your weekly routine to make sure you keep your hormones at the right levels to make sure your body burns fat 24/7.

Step 3 : Muscle
If you don’t know it by now, muscle is the most active organ in your body. Think about it, everything you do requires one or other muscle to work. Right now your eyes might be moving left and right to read this article, muscle at work! You are always breathing and your heart is always pumping, all muscles that are hard at work. But here is what is really of importance to us, ever extra pound of muscle can burn anywhere from 30-100 extra calories a day. That is extra calories you will burn just because you have that extra muscle. Let’s work on an average of 50 calories per extra pound of muscle and say you add just 10 extra pounds of muscle. That is an extra 500 calories per day you will burn for doing nothing or 3500 calories per week. And for those that do not know it, 3500 calories is the same amount of calories you need to lose to drop 1 pound of fat. I hope all of this is starting to make sense but in short, if you add more muscle your body will need more energy in the form of calories to move that muscle and so you will burn more calories and fat to do so. So every now and then try and go onto a muscle building phase and add some muscle that will not only help you look better, but also help you burn fat 24/7!

And there you go, your 3 step plan to burn fat 24/7, FREE OF CHARGE!

5 Ways to Use Your Diet to get Six Pack Abs Faster!

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 14:56:00 +0700

You probably already know that all the training in the world is no substitute for the right kind of abs nutrition if you’re looking to get ripped. If you want six pack abs, then you have to consume the right kind of diet for six pack abs—no two ways about it. The reason is that unless you can effectively burn the fat off the top of those muscles, you nor anyone else is ever going to see the fruits of your labor. So today, I am going to give you five abs nutrition tips to kick your fat loss into high gear.

1. Get Plenty of Good Fat

It may seem counterproductive if you are trying to burn fat, but the right kind of fat can actually promote fat loss. No diet for six pack abs is complete without the addition of Omega 3s. The most common sources of these fatty acids are mackerel and salmon. You can also add Omega 3s to your abs nutrition by adding cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, etc), walnuts, and tofu to your diet.

2. Fiber Up!

Fiber is good for much more than just regulating your digestive tract. It actually slows down the rate of digestion for carbs. That means instead of those carbs metabolizing into sugar all at one time, they’ll burn off slowly and steadily. You get a more constant supply of energy and your body isn’t quite so eager to store those sugars as fat. Get fiber from whole grain products like oatmeal, brown rice, and 100 percent wheat breads.

3. Take Your Vitamins

Yes, your mother was right, even if she didn’t know why. All vitamins are important in the correct amounts for total body health, but I want to focus on 2 for your abs nutrition: B vitamins and vitamin C. B vitamins help to rev up your metabolism and regulate thyroid function, sugar levels, and energy levels. Vitamin C assists the body with the conversion of glucose. While you can take supplements, I prefer to get these vitamins from food. Add them to your diet for six pack abs every day with meat and dairy products, as well as with vegetables and citric fruits.

4. Calcium is Important, Too!

Calcium increases the rate of which the body burns fat. Since calcium is partially stored in fat cells, the more calcium in these cells the better the burning potential. Don’t go crazy with it though. You’ll need to get your calcium from low-fat dairy sources or you may end up gaining weight rather than burning fat!

5. More Diet Control, Less Cardio

I’m not saying to stop your aerobic training altogether, but cardio that is too often and too intense can cause a loss of muscle mass. Focus on your diet for six pack abs first then restrict your cardio to 20 minutes sessions a few times a week. Your workouts should contain more strength training anyway. Just don’t overdo it. You have got to give your muscles time to recover for best results.
If you’ll notice, most of the things you need for your abs nutrition all come from the same sources. That should make it pretty easy for you to get them all in on a daily basis and start melting that fat away.

Lagi-lagi aku harus berpikir keras untuk menenangkan hati. Ternyata berbagai teori tak mampu membuatku tenang juga. Implementasinya terasa sulit. Banyak hal yang begitu sulit aku lakukan. Ini semua tentang perasaan. Yah, perasaanku terhadap seorang yang pernah dan pertama kali menjadi pelabuhan cintaku...

Hal Seru Hilangkan Sepi Saat Jomblo

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 11:20:00 +0700

Selepas dari patah hati dan sukses dengan obat patah hati karena putus cinta, hidup baru telah menanti. Status single atau yang lebih familiar dengan kata jomblo pun jadi hal yang tak terelakkan. Jomblo bukan berarti derita. Tak selamanya kesendirian adalah hal yang menyedihkan. Setidaknya masih ada hal lain yang masih bisa dilakukan sendiri tanpa pasangan. Beberapa kegiatan berikut ini akan membuat Anda lebih nyaman dalam kesendirian.

Membaca
Mungkin kedengarannya biasa. Tapi membaca buku, dapat membunuh waktu dalam kesendirian. Jika Anda bukan tipe kutu buku, Anda bisa membawa buku di dalam tas Anda, saat sedang bosan menunggu, Anda bisa membacanya. Cari rekomendasi buku yang menarik dari teman atau internet.

Shopping
Kegiatan seru lainnya yang bisa Anda manfaatkan di tengah kesendirian adalah Shopping. Jika Anda shopping bersama kekasih belum tentu seleluasa saat shopping sendiri dan Anda tidak perlu mendengar komentar buruknya tentang baju yang ingin Anda beli.

Memanjakan diri
Saat memiliki kekasih belum tentu Anda bisa memanjakan diri di salon atau spa. Facial, scrub sampai pijat dapat Anda lakukan tanpa perlu tergesa-gesa karena ada pria yang sedang menunggu. Anda pun menjadi lebih cantik dan tidak menutup kemungkinan banyak pria yang akan menggaet Anda.

Travelling
Mungkin saat masih bersama si dia dulu Anda sering berlibur bersama, jangan hentikan kegiatan seru tersebut. Jika tidak ada yang menemani Anda, tak ada salahnya travelling dan berpetualang sendiri. Tak kalah seru, jika Anda memilih tempat-tempat yang menarik. Tak perlu yang jauh, memilih liburan ke Bandung atau Bali bisa menjadi destinasi yang menyenangkan. Siapa tahu, di sana Anda menemukan pria idaman.

Cara Ungkapkan Suka dengan Gerak Tubuh

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 21:24:00 +0700

Pernahakah kamu mengalami rasa suka kepada seseorang tapi bermasalah dengan kata-kata? Bingung bagaimana harus mengungkapkan perasaan kepada di Dia? Mungkin artikel ini bisa membantu kamu dalam mengatasi masalah tersebut.

Berikut adalah ulasannya. . .

"Menurut sebuah penelitian, rasa suka lebih efektif disampaikan lewat bahasa non-verbal. Bahkan empat kali lebih efisien dibandingkan hanya dengan ucapan," ujar Psikolog Roslina Verauli, saat ditemui Wolipop di Cilandak Town Square, Jakarta.

Wanita yang akrab disapa Vera ini juga menambahkan, komunikasi non-verbal lebih efektif menarik perhatian si dia, walaupun hanya dengan gerak-gerik kecil dan sederhana.

Cara-cara berikut ini tidak serta merta diasosiasikan dengan pernyataan suka secara frontal. Namun, bisa mengirim 'sinyal-sinyal' bahwa kita tertarik untuk mengenal dia lebih dekat.

Bagaimana menyatakan rasa suka lewat gerakan? Ada tiga cara yang bisa dilakukan, yang dipaparkan Vera.

Kontak Mata
Jalinlah kontak mata dengan si dia. Lihat langsung ke matanya dengan tatapan tulus, atau fokus memandang wajahnya saat dia berbicara. Sinyal ini memberinya tanda bahwa Anda tertarik dengan apapun yang dia ucapkan.

"Kontak mata paling efektif membangun ikatan," ucap Vera.
Silangkan Kaki
Pria dan wanita punya insting naluriah saat berhadapan dengan orang yang disukainya. Bagi wanita, hal ini bisa terlihat dari caranya duduk. Duduk dengan kaki menyilang ke arah orang yang disuka, menandakan dia tertarik dengan orang tersebut.

"Arah kaki pada perempuan saat duduk menyilang, artinya mengangkat satu kakinya di atas kaki lainnya. Arah kaki bisa menjadi tanda pada siapa rasa suka itu ditujukan," jelas Vera.

Saat duduk dan berbicara dengannya, coba duduk dengan kaki menyilang dan tujukan ke arah si dia. Jika pria tersebut juga tertarik, dia pun pasti akan merasa nyaman dengan gerakan tubuh Anda.
Bangun Kedekatan
Jika tertarik dengan seseorang, masuklah ke dalam zona yang dekat dengan si dia. Bangunlah kedekatan jarak dengan pria yang Anda sukai. Cara ini bisa dilakukan dengan berada di lingkungan orang yang disuka, mencari tahu aktivitas yang dia senangi dan jika tertarik, Anda pun bisa bergabung dalam kegiatan tersebut.

Dengan mengetahui aktivitas dan hobinya, si dia akan tahu bahwa Anda punya perhatian khusus padanya. Namun berhati-hatilah, jangan sampai Anda menjadi 'stalker' yang selalu mengikuti kemanapun dia pergi.

Ingat, tak banyak yang bisa memahami apa yang kita lakukan. Tapi setidaknya ini adalah cara yang bisa digunakan sebagai alternatif daripada terus-terusan pasif dan tak berkutik di depan si dia . . .

Kutip: Manfaat Bulu Ketiak

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 09:58:00 +0700

Siapa bilang bulu ketiak itu cuma bikin malu dan bau? Karena sebenarnya fungsi bulu ketiak itu sama dengan rambut kemaluan yaitu sebagai daya tarik seksual. Kenapa bisa seperti itu?

Hal itu berdasarkan buku Dr Bruce Perry berjudul "Why do we have body hair?” Science World, yang diterbitkan September 2000.

Penjelasan bulu ketiak sebagai daya tarik seksual karena folikel rambut hampir selalu berdekatan dengan kelenjar yang menghasilkan feromon, yaitu bundel molekul yang diproduksi oleh tubuh sebagai sinyal kimia untuk menarik pasangan seks.

Jadi sebenarnya, bulu ketiak tidak akan bermasalah dan justru menjadi daya tarik untuk lawan jenis, dengan syarat kebersihan dan kehigienisan daerah sekitar ketiak dijaga dengan baik.

Oleh karena itu, bagi sebagian orang mencukur habis bulu ketiak bisa mengurangi gairah seksual terhadap lawan jenis.

Bulu atau rambut ketiak tumbuh seperti rambut di bagian tubuh lainnya. Pertumbuhannya melalui tiga tahapan yang berbeda, yaitu tahap pertumbuhan, istirahat dan meranggas (tak tumbuh lagi dan rontok). Panjang bulu ketiak maksimal rata-rata orang adalah 3 inci atau 7,62 cm.

Berbeda dengan pria, kaum wanita saat ini sangat tidak nyaman jika punya bulu ketiak, terlebih jika pakaian yang digunakan tanpa lengan. Wanita jarang membiarkan bulu ketiaknya panjang sehingga mencukurnya secara rutin.

Untung Rugi Mencukur Bulu Ketiak

Bulu ketiak yang lebat sering menjadi masalah untuk beberapa orang, terutama bagi perempuan, sehingga berbagai cara dilakukan agar bulu ketiak tak tumbuh. Apa saja untung rugi mencukur bulu ketiak?

Bulu atau rambut ketiak tumbuh seperti rambut di bagian tubuh lainnya. Pertumbuhannya melalui tiga tahapan yang berbeda, yaitu tahap pertumbuhan, istirahat dan meranggas (tak tumbuh lagi dan rontok).

Panjang bulu ketiak maksimal rata-rata adalah 3 inci atau 7,62 cm. Tapi kebanyakan orang, terutama wanita, jarang membiarkan bulu ketiaknya panjang dan dicukur secara rutin.

Seperti dilansir Hubpages, Jumat (11/2/2011) ada beberapa alasan orang mencukur bulu ketiaknya:

1. Menghilangkan bau yang tidak sedap
Jika daerah ketiak tidak dijaga dengan baik, adanya bulu di ketiak ditambah dengan keringat, bisa membuat bakteri berkembang dengan baik yang bisa menyebabkan aroma tubuh menjadi tidak enak.

2. Higienis
Bagi orang yang aktif dan sering mengeluarkan banyak keringat, mencukur bulu ketiak bisa menjadi kehigienisan tubuhnya dari bakteri-bakteri yang merugikan dan menyebabkan bau badan.

3. Menghindari basah di keringat
Banyaknya bulu di ketiak membuat keringat lebih banyak. Bila seseorang sangat aktif, hal ini bisa membuat daerah di sekitar ketiaknya basah.

4. Meningkatkan efektivitas dari produk deodoran
Untuk mencegah keringat berlebih dan bau badan, orang biasanya menggunakan deodoran setiap hari. Dengan mencukur bulu ketiak, maka penggunaan deodoran semakin efektif.

Turn On the TV During Sleep Makes Better Memory

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 21:40:00 +0700

Sleeping with the lights turned out to television or radio can help improve your recall abilities. Studies say that the sounds that enter the brain will reinforce the memory when awakened.

In a study that links between the sounds or sounds with memories, researchers from Northwestern University in Chicago found that the sound that goes into a deep sleep to strengthen the spatial memory or memory space in the brain.

Researchers gave an impression on a screen that contains 50 objects of the participants before falling asleep. After participants' sleep, researchers gave some kind of sound like the sound of cats and other sounds. When sound was played, participants can not hear because it is in deep sleep phase or inside.

The result, after the participants woke up, they could do with a very good memory test. They can remember the location of the object in the screen and memorize more and more objects than other participants who are not exposed to sound during sleep.

"This study proves that a person's brain will continue to work when sleeping. Phase phase of deep sleep is very important to remember something," said John Rudoy, a researcher who participated in the study, as reported HealthDay.

"When I sleep, the brain will process whatever happens on that day. What did he eat, that he watched television broadcasts, people he encounters, it all comes back when sleeping," said Ken Paller, professor and psychologist from Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences at Northwestern.

But who determines that memory reactivated or not is our own. The most memorable incident occurred several hours earlier and is the most easily played back in bed. The study is published in the journal Science and used as the basis to become an alternative treatment for those who have a problem in memory.

"The conclusion was that the memory will be processed during sleep. Although we still do not understand fully the process of what actually happens in the brain that makes memories stronger when there are sounds, but it's certainly worth a try if someone wants to have a strong memory," said Paller.

Making Impression on the First Dating

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Wed, 9 Feb 2011 12:34:00 +0700

Dating is usually used as a moment for women and men are attracted to each other to get to know one another. On the first date is usually the most decisive stage whether the relationship you and he will continue or not.

At this stage also determines there a match between you and he. If you want your dating success, make a positive impression of depth, so that the he always remembered moments of the first date and eventually ask you to be her lover.

Here it is five tips for the he always remembered with you on a first date, as quoted by the Times of India.

1. Talk about interesting things
When dating, you should not talk about formal matters such as family or job. Find a chat that is fun, such as movies, music and favorite books, food or hobby. From the conversation, you and he will know in a personal and more intimate.

2. Do not complain
Your mission is to leave an unforgettable first impression on a date. So whatever bad days and your work, or how annoying your boss in the office, not a proper chat to start a first date. Focus on positive things. Tell me your best holiday, favorite movies that still make you laugh or tell a funny incident you've ever experienced. People will be easily attracted to those who see things from a positive aspect.

3. Focus on your dating event
Mobile phones may be a tool that makes your life easier, but when dating, one thing that can be bullies. We recommend that you turn off or put the vibrating mode when dating. Your date could have been intermittently disturbed if you have to answer phone calls, reading every incoming sms or just check the phone every five minutes or so. It indicates you do not consider it important that a date should be the moment to know each other better.

4. Do not be rude
In the restaurant or public place, there may be waiters who do not take your order correctly, or there are small children who accidentally stepped on your foot. Take a deep breath, and remember, a small accident could happen during a date and your date will notice how you react in such an unpleasant situation. Yelling, complaining and cursing is not a good attitude to leave a positive impression on your date night. If you do not like the place you go, get the he moved to the area that is more quiet and calm.

5. Do not be stingy
At the present time, is not the era of the man who must always pay all bills eat. Offer to pay him to share the food bill. He will assess your independent woman and not an opportunist. But if he insisted on paying the entire cost of a date, just let him do it.

The Right Couple Based on The Birth Order

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Tue, 8 Feb 2011 12:09:00 +0700

You still have trouble finding a suitable partner? Seeing men in order of birth in the family, might be able to help you find a suitable mate.

A person's character has been formed since she was six or seven. This was a period in which the family plays an important role in building a person's behavior. Several studies have found, order of birth in the family have very strong effects in the formation of character.

Quoted from Dailymail, Psychologist Linda Blair revealed, not only influenced the characters of birth order, but also career and romance. By looking at the order of birth, you will know the nature of a person, whether self-confident, not organized, ambitious, jealous or dependency.

For example, the oldest son usually tend to be dominant, while the middle child easy to resolve the conflict. Another with the youngest child who usually spoiled and cheerful. Knowing the birth order your partner, will help you predict whether the relationship will last well or not.

Eldest and Youngest
Oldest and youngest child had a very noticeable difference in nature, but instead it makes complement each other. The first child in the family is usually someone who is organized and attentive. While the last-born child tends spoiled and dependent on others. The eldest son usually want someone who can be loved and cared for, while the younger son wanted to have someone pay attention and keep it. More than that, the last child in the family usually has a cheerful and friendly nature, so it can compensate for the nature of the oldest child tends to serious.

Central and Eldest Son
The middle child is also a good match for the eldest child. In fact, the middle child can be successful an affair with a child in any order. Middle child used to resolve the conflict between him and his brothers. He is also more able to compromise for the sake of other relatives. This makes it easier to relate to anyone. But sometimes the middle child and eldest son both had a tendency to dominate, so there must be one that would lose a little ego.

Middle and Young Children
Middle child willing to accept opinions and willing to compromise. If the child was paired dengana youngest child, she would allow scope for his partner
to do what he wanted. The middle child and the youngest has the potential to be a couple who rarely fight or argue.

Equally Middle Child
As already mentioned, the middle child could fit paired with anyone. Included also with fellow middle child. But there is also a need to be considered, this pair could have thought quite different from each other. This can make them difficult to beat and unify the views together.

Young and Simply Puppet
The youngest and only puppet potentially a perfect match. Only child in the family tend to character wise and careful, that could offset the nature of the spouse who is less regular. While the youngest child will bring a sense of creativity and adventure so the relationship is not boring.

Equally Firstborn
Fellow first-born child may be somewhat difficult in a relationship. Because they both have a high competitive spirit and the mutual wish to maintain their respective opinions, the eldest pair easily ignited the conflict. But that does not mean male and female first-born can not be united. This couple could be united if they respect each other, and one of which must divert its nature and the dominant leader in a place outside the relationship.

Eldest and Simply Puppet
The first child can protect the spoiled only child. But the competitive instincts of both are equally great. The first child will act as decision maker, while the only child likely will not budge because since childhood, loving parents undivided.

Equally Young Children
Couples who are both the youngest child can produce a relationship full of creativity and fun. On the other hand, both may have a problem discussing issues in a serious and difficult decisions until it is completely final. In domestic life, the couple will probably have a lot of obstacles.

Equally Simply Puppet Child
Men and women who are both only child might be a bit difficult an affair. Each personally would find it difficult to understand the character of her partner. The pair is also hard to read emotional signals to each other, so the potential for misunderstanding is quite large.

These programs give you basic image editing features to perform standard photo enhancement tasks. I’ve compiled a list of 5 free photo editing programs for Windows which you may like to look at. These are quality programs which give commercial ones a serious run for their money.

Do take note, however, that some of these programs may be limited in features unless you buy an upgrade version.

The GIMP
The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is an open-source program originally developed by two university students in 1996. It has now morphed into a powerful image editor with a huge user base. The latest version, the GIMP 2.0, has a revamped user interface that places it up threw with mainstream image editors.
Picasa
Picasa is a powerful and free software that helps you instantly find, edit and share all the pictures on your PC. If you always had problems keeping track of your pictures, Picasa will help you do that by sorting them into visual albums. Moreover, if you want to quickly touch up your photos, Picasa offers many one-click fixes to do just that. What’s more, the program allows you to easily share those photos through email, printing or CDs.
VCW VicMan's Photo Editor
VCW VicMan's Photo Editor has a host of features similar to Adobe Photoshop. With this program, you can easily zoom into and pan within your image and perform standard image editing. The color adjustment options are also very extensive. The program comes in a limited free version, as well as a commercial Pro version which sells for $30.
ImageForge
ImageForge is a freeware image editor gives you a great set of tools for painting and editing images and photos. Whether you want to touch up your photo shots, or add a creative effect to a boring photo, ImageForge can provide you with the tools to do it. You can even share your photos easily by creating photo albums and simple slide shows.
Paint.NET
Paint.NET is an on-going project at Washington State University, with features that match commercial applications, including support for layers. It is provided as freeware and is readily available for download. Besides standard image editing features, there’s also a special Effects API for you to create your own special effects. The program also has a strong user forum that supports its progress and development.

Conclusion

I hope you'll learnt a thing or two about the best free photo editors for Windows. Using a free photo editor is a great way to save money, while satisfying all your photo manipulation needs. However, I do advise that for serious, long-term photo editing tasks, go for commercial grade software such as Ulead PhotoImpact and Paint Shop Pro.
