Today is International Literacy Day, a time for us all to take a bit of time to reflect not only how lucky we are to be reading this sentence, but also how we can promote the ability to read all across the world. Have you been involved in any literacy programs or campaigns recently? We’d love to hear about them here.
If you’d like to get involved in promoting literacy, here are just a few things you can do…

Buy.com has a great deal on some classic scary movies - just in time for Halloween! You can now get the Night Screams 50 Movie Pack with free shipping for only $8.49 - while supplies last. This is a great deal for anyone who likes "classic horror" as most of these movies are older than my parents. A lot of these are actually pretty good and are the basis of the "plots" in most horror movies you see today which have been replicated and re-done for decades.
Read about the films and get yours... Read More
An article criticizing Farmville got some buzz over the holiday weekend. SUNY Buffalo professor A.J. Patrick Liszkewicz makes the bald - and completely unfounded - accusation that "Farmville is not a good game."

Skype, arguably the internet's first (successful) VOIP company is currently fighting to save itself from impending "free Google call doom" - I wrote an article about this shortly after Google started the promotion and it looks like Skype will not give up without a fight. They are rolling out a new flat fee monthly rate service where you can get unlimited calling to the United States, and Canada, for only $2.99 a month! This can be used anytime - days, nights, whenever. You can make calls to... Read More
The modern Jewish wedding is a combination of ancient traditions and culture-wide secular practices, a proper reflection of how Jews fit into modern society. Many elements of a Jewish wedding would be familiar to anyone who grew up in Western culture. Men wear tuxedos, the bride wears a white dress with a veil and train, the ceremony is most often followed by a formal reception. Little about the ceremony itself would seem esoteric to an outsider, though there are some symbols and rituals that... Read More

Today only, Housewares Deals is offering the Lisa Jenks UH-OH 5 Piece Baby Gift Set for $15.00 with $4.95 shipping - this is a significant savings over the retail price of $190 (which to me sounds a little crazy but whatever). I think this would make a great gift for a new mom - and because women frequently give birth - chances are you can use this. Just save it until someone you know gets knocked up or pops out a kid (but you can get the savings now). This would also make a great gift for a... Read More
I know what you are thinking: "If it is solar powered, and I am using it in the dark - how will this work?" - and to answer you - this little gadget stores the energy from the sun right inside for when it is dark and you need it! How can this be for only 89 cents? I have no idea - I order from this company frequently because I love little stuff like this - and it always comes (in great condition) - I honestly have no idea how they make any money.

The year for when this period starts will begin when you order your first paperback or Playaway (audio) book.

New student orientation is a strange ritual. Schools have to have it or they end up looking careless. At best, orientation for incoming freshmen keeps the new arrivals from wandering
around campus aimlessly. What it doesn't do is prepare new students for the shift in lifestyle they're about to experience. There's a learning curve to the unique social microcosm of college. Here's a quick guide for what you ought to learn and accomplish in the first four quarters of your campus experience.

I’ve written before about how much I don’t approve of violence in films, and how G-rated films (such as Ratatouille, The Princess and the Frog, and many others) contain violence—even guns!—while a single curse word can give a film a PG-rating. I’d much rather my child hear the word “damn” or even see a glimpse of a breast rather than guns and violence, but for some reason filmmakers (and many parents) believe otherwise.

So what is it with all of these deal sites having the word "shark" in them, anyway? It seems like there are a ton and I don't believe they are all related - it is a mystery to me! What is not a mystery is getting a great deal and for a limited time AlphaShark is offering CK Free by Calvin Klein Eau de Toilette for only $39.00 with free shipping using coupon code SHARKBITEFS. This is actually a pretty decent cologne and at this price is basically like stealing! There is also no sales tax in any... Read More

That is right folks - 50 free prints from Snapfish - including free standard shipping with coupon code FREELDSHIP (limited to one use per account, expires September 11, 2010). It is pretty hard to believe they will ship all of these prints to you free - but they will!

You do not even need to provide any credit card information, just upload your pics (from a new account) go through the... Read More

 | Is Wendy's chili fast food? from The Thinner Me Comments: 1 |
Fast food???Have you ever been on the run all day and not packed healthy food with you to eat. What happens when you get hungry? We all stop for fast, convenient, and sometimes cheap food. Do we stop for fast, convenient, cheap, and HEALTHY food? It's so easy to grab a burger, until we weigh the consequences. The secret to sticking to our health plan is remembering where we came from (over-weight and unhealthy) and where we're going (healthy and vibrant!).
