I’m the first to admit to not being able to do without a cup of coffee in the morning to get me going, but if your caffeine intake throughout the day is too high, it can have the opposite effect. After the artificial high subsides, many people may reach for more coffee for another lift, and this pattern over stimulates the adrenals and then weakens them with persistent or chronic use.Caffeine in

When the first time I read Audiosurf review from IGN.com, I was really not interested about this game theme. At first sight, I thought that this game is a musical game like Rock Band (which is lame in my opinion), but when I saw its screenshot, it looks like Tetris. Soon when I read the review, I got confused, what kind of game is this? It really makes me anxious to find out. Then at its official

Chances are that about half of you who have prescriptions for Vicodin or Lorcet or Norco don’t receive a little bottle from the pharmacy with the brand name on it. Most likely it will use the generic name: Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen. Is there any difference between brand name and generic prescription painkillers? And more importantly, is either more or less addictive than the other?

Psychologists debate whether people can have an addiction to pornography.By Martin F. DownsWebMD FeatureReviewed by Louise Chang, MD, MDIn November 2004, a panel of experts testified before a Senate subcommittee that a product which millions of Americans consume is dangerously addictive. They were talking about pornography.The effects of porn on the brain were called "toxic" and compared to cocaine. One psychologist claimed "prolonged exposure to pornography stimulates a preference for depictions of group sex, sadomasochistic practices, and sexual contact with animals."It used to be that if you wanted to see pornography, you had to go out and buy a magazine or rent a video. Store hours and available space under the mattress placed some limits on people's porn habits.Now there are an estima

The panda are from the preservation centre and there are young panda who are very active as you can see from the video as well as older panda who just seat there and eat their bamboo. However, i find all of them very cute and i wish i could cuddle one of them. :DThe adult pandas eat a lot of bamboo shoots and they can just seat them and does nothing else except eating and eating and eating. Sometimes when the weather is bad, they will have to stay indoor in their air-con enclosure. The pandas are really enjoying a very good life over at the centre.The preservation centre also have various red panda who looks more like racoon but are red in colour and eats bamboo shoots. :P they are very cute and here's one that's doing a performance blowing a pipe. Cute~ isn't it. :D It's really interesting looking at all the pretty cute pandas having their lunch. So it's very important that we care for all these wild animals and protect them from being captured by poachers.

Is a fear of getting fatter partly to blame for the fact that nearly one in five American women still smokes, and many don't try to quit? Although there are many possible reasons for the stubborn persistence of smoking, fear of weight gain is high on the list for many women, says a University of Michigan Health System researcher who has devoted much of her career to studying this issue. read more

We're not sure, but we have an inkling that somewhere Hildi Santo-Tomás, the wall-warrior queen of 'Trading Spaces,' may have some hand in the outrageous pandemic of wall decals that has hit the world's decor in the past year. In countless shows on TLC, Hildi has pushed nothing but wall treaments, wall treatments, wall treatments. Now her message apparently has reached the tipping point, as we've been seeing decals creeping up walls and spilling onto innocent architecture everywhere. With so much decor at stake, a brief intervention is in order. Although we applaud Hildi's creative drive for wall wonder, some of her transformations want us to offer design therapy for the homeowners decoriously injured. Let her pizazzters be a caveat to those who've suddenly become addicted to decals, decals, decals. You just can't stick one, and it can be dangerous. True, if used in tasteful moderation, wall decals can be an easy, non-messy way to prettify any space. However, it's that

Throughout high school I tried my hand at various clubs and sports, from the cadet forces, to football, to athletics to cricket, but the sport that eventually held me was table tennis and I went on the captain the team for my final year of high school. A few weeks ago I was introduced to Rockstar's Table Tennis on the Xbox 360 and I’ve been hooked since. Who would have thought that a game studio renowned for violent games such as the Grand Theft Auto series could have created such an enjoyable and addictive table tennis game? I really need to start playing table tennis again though…a new year is coming…I need to make that my first resolution.

HeartsickFiction, by Chelsea CainRetail: $23.95Published: 2007The Irish poet and novelist, Oscar Wilde, once said, “The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what fiction means.”A point well taken in most fictional thrillers. But Chelsea Cain’s novel of graphic cruelty and fast paced plotting is different. That all might end well here would almost certainly have to be fictional, considering what these people go through. And the truth is, not everything ends with a nice bouquet of roses in this one.Heartsick centers around four major characters. First, is the diabolical serial killer in the story, Gretchen Lowell. She’s beautiful, brilliant, highly educated, and seriously deranged. Second, is Detective Archie Sheridan, a hard-nosed veteran cop who bird-dogs Gretchen for ten years until she captures him. Next, is newspaper reporter Susan Ward, a determined and tough young woman who gets in over her head. And finally, there is a second killer who has a very beastly hu

It is a foregone conclusion that relying heavily on sleeping pills can make a person very much reliant towards them. While some may beg to disagree, hard luck people who have trouble sleeping in Canada have turned to herbal remedies to aid their sleeping disorder with the hope of getting sustainable sleeping periods in the process as well. Sleepes is one prescribed herbal sleeping pill that has been spread throughout Canada. However, the bad news here is that once people stop taking them, the after-effects start to set in. Insomnia and depression instances start to creep in adding more misery to the already borne sleeping problem people are having to date. “My insomnia became total for about two weeks, meaning I was lucky if I got an hour or two of sleep a night. Then I had several months of feeling hopeless and not wanting to live,” she says. The whole article can be read here in full: Herbal Sleeping Pills Contain Prescription Meds canada, depression, Health Issues, herba

Our findings clearly demonstrate that intense sweetness can surpass cocaine reward, even in drug-sensitized and -addicted individuals. We speculate that the addictive potential of intense sweetness results from an inborn hypersensitivity to sweet tastants. In most mammals, including rats and humans, sweet receptors evolved in ancestral environments poor in sugars and are thus not adapted to high concentrations of sweet tastants. The supranormal stimulation of these receptors by sugar-rich diets, such as those now widely available in modern societies, would generate a supranormal reward signal in the brain, with the potential to override self-control mechanisms and thus to lead to addiction.PLoS ONE

A new UCLA study shows that at least 100 of the 599 documented cigarette additives have “pharmacological” actions, many of which enhance or maintain the delivery of nicotine and may increase the addictiveness of cigarettes. As lawmakers debate whether to allow federal regulation of tobacco products, the study’s findings point to a need for regulation of cigarette additives as well. Researchers investigated tobacco industry documents and other sources for evidence of possible pharmacological and chemical effects of tobacco additives. The study found that 100 of the 599 documented cigarette additives had pharmacological actions that camouflage the negative impact of smoke in the environment by masking odour, visibility and irritation (without equivalent efforts to decrease the harmful effects of second-hand smoke); enhance or maintain nicotine delivery; and mask symptoms and illnesses associated with smoking behaviours (many botanical and other additives have anesthetic, antibacte

Most of us, who had seen the era of PC286 and 386, will remember the favourite timepass PC-Man.

Now, there is firefox, extension available for this rivetting yet simple game. You can download this firefox add-on from mozilla site.

But for the price that TigerDirect.com is offering it, you could have it in your home as well. (more…)

flangracneig pgoramian Short blog today, but I’ve got a couple of recommendations. Every Friday, I get the b3ta newsletter. It’s a newsletter full of jokes, funny websites, games and videos ideal to get you through the last few hours of work on a Friday. I do love b3ta, it’s in my top 10 daily visits, and have started hanging around on the talk board, bitching about the stresses and strains of being a hugely successful blogger, with millions and millions of readers. This week however has one hell of a game on the newsletter. Boomshine is a game where you have one click of the mouse to start a chain reaction of exploding circles.

So, dear readers, what is the best you can do on this really rather fun game? Technorati Tags:boomshi

As I write this Addictive Football is currently priced at $9.95, but according to Addictive 24/7's Price Rise Bonanza that could change at any given time. I believe the regular retail price is $19.95, which is typical of indie games. Just letting everyone know to not delay if they enjoy Addictive Football's Demo, prior to the full-on review.Addictive Football reminds me of the old Genesis or SNES FIFA soccers (sorry for the soccer reference, I know it's football...even though American Football is the best damn sport ever). Much like the old FIFA's, the Addictive Football is very easy to pick up and play...and very fun to play against a rival or friend. Addictive 24/7 definitely succeeds in making a...well...addictive game. It lacks real teams, players, etc. but that's to be expected. It may not be for everyone at $20, but is certainly a deal at $9.95.Gameplay: 8/10Pros: Ah the simplicity of the 16-bit era, Controls are simple: pass, shoot, and move- and work well.
