Nancy Drew Dossier: Resorting To Danger

2009-08-27T00:15:00.001+08:00

Resorting To Danger, by Her Interactive, is the second in the Nancy Drew Dossier series, following Lights, Camera, Curses!. This time, Nancy is investigating a series of bombs at the Redondo, a rejuvenation clinic for the stars. The bombs are more mess than death, containing pie filling or ladybugs, but Nancy’s still got to defuse the bombs and find the mad bomber without alarming the wealthy celeb patrons in for a facial or mud bath.

I saw this over on Thimbler » Another Blogger Tries Our Jeans!

Jai Marshall at StyleHop says:

Being a plus sized woman, I love the fact that I can go on this site and get jeans made specifically for my body. All I did was go to Thimbler.com, pick a pair of jeans that I liked based on wash and cut, gave them my measurements, and placed my order. They also have mini videos for you to look at if you aren’t sure how to measure yourself.

New survey from Thimbler custom jeans! Details:

Thimbler.com is a true hybrid online shopping experience, merging fashionable clothing tailored to fit any size with innovative and independent designers to create a truly unique fashion marketplace where customers AND designers can let their individuality and creativity shine.

Chassie, Thimbler’s Plus Size Diva agrees. “Thimbler custom-made clothing is made to fit you, not a fit model.

I am SOOO energized about FHTM as a result of today’s comprehensive training. I already knew in my heart that this was something I wanted/needed to do; I just didn’t have the confidence in myself to get launched in the business. Today’s training was awe-inspiring for me. I left with the understanding, the tools, and the confidence to get my business soaring to the next level. I’m already setting my goals and counting my “no’s”! Thank you Bill, Jason, and Greg for traveling to Charlotte and taking time from your weekend to show all of us today how to grow our business and be successful. This training is a MUST for every person getting started in FHTM. Thanks again!

Would Have Paid More

2009-08-03T06:44:00.001+08:00

Precise, concise- to the point. Could have used this comprehensive training earlier in my Fortune career, but grateful to have it at any point. Truthfully, I am always inspired when I walk away from any Fortune Meeting, small or large. I felt all 3 sessions were helpful. Session 2 explained the point system well, and made much more sense, having read over the information in my manual several times.

This should be available to all new managers within the first 30 days of their Fortune Careers! How about a DVD? Was worth the $10…would have paid more.

Get Out Of Debt

2009-07-30T03:13:00.001+08:00

More and more American individuals and companies are finding themselves in debt. Whether it’s a family who’s gotten upside-down on their mortgage due to the recent upheaval in the economy, or a struggling company, debt is becoming a huge problem. And that’s without discussing the growing number of people with huge credit card debt, mounting student loans, medical bills and so many other situations.

For those with large amounts of debt, debt management or Debt Consolidation can be a solution to financial problem that doesn’t involve declaring bankruptcy. Declaring bankruptcy can be a lifesaver for people and companies with un-managable debt and no assets, but let’s save that for a very last resort.

Debt consolidation offers debtors a chance to consult with a financial professional about what they owe, who they owe, and how they can reasonably pay it off. For most people and companies in debt, debt consolidation means one lower monthly payment, instead of trying to keep track of and pay off so many bills with their own unique deadlines and payment terms. It should also give debtors a break from collection calls and creditors’ letters, because by paying that one monthly payment, they are appeasing all creditors from all sources.

In these tough times, it’s good to know all your options!

Game Reviews

2009-07-30T02:58:00.001+08:00

The new online kids’ game GardenParty World is almost ready, and Victoria from Asylum was nice enough to send me an email introducing me to the beta.

I checked out the game, which is billed as a safe, multiplayer world for kids. Garden Party is a collection of minigames, which can be played interactively or alone, at which you win the local Garden Party currency, Orbs. The concepts of the games were cute, and able to be played interactively or solo, but I’m not really the target demographic, so I found them a bit repetitive and simplistic. I didn’t really like the ratio of orbs to mingames, as I felt forced to play boring minigames to make the cash for the fun part of Garden Party, the garden. I don’t really need a game for the opportunity to do something not-so-fun to make money to do fun things… I think that’s called having a job.

Herobits is a new CCG about heroes who – no, wait, it’s not exactly a collectible card game. Although it has many of the elements of your usual CCG, there are no booster packs and no looking for rares in sealed packs (known to jaded gamers as kidding gambling). To play, you need two players, each with one fifty-card deck.

You play as one Sim, not a household, and the story is much more linear than the PC versions.
It’s also no longer a sandbox game. Players have limited control over
hotel guests, but important penthouse guests arrive, check in, and send
players on unavoidable missions. I happened to like the penthouse
missions, especially goth cultist Ava Cadarva, but it wasn’t the
almost-unlimited sandbox play style we knew and loved in other Sims games.

Although I was super excited to get my review copy of the Princess Bride game, I wasn’t sure whether I would automatically like this game because it’s based on the Princess Bride, or hate it because it’s based on the Princess Bridedifferent. (see also: why I dislike movies based on books I liked)

I recently heard about Ancient Secrets over on GameHouse. You play as Kate, a young archeologist, who is following her father’s footsteps in the search for the lost key of the Tekka. Kate needs to gather solves puzzles to gather clues to find pieces of the key. I kind of wish my dad would get some ancient artifacts and leave an worldwide treasure hunt, but, Dad, you probably shouldn’t rely on my Latin skills.

Via Ancient Secrets on Simpson’s Paradox.

Unfortunately, Create-a-Mall took mindless consumerism and crossed
it with repetitive, challengeless gameplay. You play as Kelly, a
corporate drone tasked with leasing stores to create a mall.
Time and resource management games all have some similarities. No
matter what the game theme is, players will need to manage resources
and time to complete goals. But Create-a-Mall felt like a clone of the
repetitive playstyle and unrewarding rewards of Build-A-Lot 2, reskinned as a mall instead of a neighborhood.

What makes Nancy Drew: Lights, Camera, Curses! a girls’ game is the female protagonist. It’s not pink, it’s not cutesy, there are no magic animal friends, there is no shopping. Let me repeat that in case you were skimming. This game is not pink.

I was predisposed to like the new Wizard 101 game. It’s not exactly a secret that I love Harry Potter, and the game promises to be a wizard school MMOPRG. The game is adorable from the first loading screen. They’ve got a Wizard 101 gallery on the website, but it doesn’t do justice to the fantastic sketch drawings and handwritten notes, or the cheery game characters.

Debt Management

2009-07-28T05:06:00.000+08:00

I’m not saying I’m entirely happy with my finances, but I only have school loans, like everyone else my age, so it’s not an unmanageable amount of debt. I’m not upside-down on a mortgage, I don’t have thousands of dollars in credit card debt, thankfully. Many people do, and that number is growing steadily.

For people while large amounts of debt, debt management is a solution to financial problems. Debt management is an informal arrangement between the debtor and their creditors, when a debtor cannot afford to pay their current bills but does not want to declare bankruptcy. A debt management organization often acts as a mediator and negotiator in creating this
arrangement.

Debt management offers lower payments, one payment a month instead of several to different companies, a break from creditors calling and sending collection letters, and protection from losing one’s home. Any creditors that do contact you afterwards can be referred to the debt management company. If your finances change, whether it’s a raise, a new job or getting laid off, your payments will be adjusted accordingly. If you are making more money, you’ll be able to pay off your debt faster and if your finances change for the worse, you won’t be responsible for more than you could manage to pay.

CD Rates

2009-07-28T04:59:00.001+08:00

If you’re lucky enough to have money in invest in these rough economy, you definitely want to find the Highest CD Rates to get the best return on your investment. You’ll find that CD returns vary quite a bit epending on the amount in your deposit, the length of time on the CD, and the financial institution you choose.

The Importance Of Good Training

2009-07-25T04:57:00.001+08:00

Some thoughts on the value of comprehensive training from the FHTM Comprehensive Training website:

It is indisputably true that in order to be successful in network marketing, representatives must be properly trained. It is equally true that an unintended consequence of FHTM’s explosive growth in North Carolina over the past 7 months is that we all have people in our downlines that have not been properly trained.

It’s time to change that once and for all. Bill Harloff, Greg Frank and Jason Harloff have spent countless hours putting together the most powerful, detailed and comprehensive training FHTM has ever seen. They have recently formed a new venture, FHTM Comprehensive Training, and are making their training available to all FHTM representatives, regardless of organization.

Many people all over the country use home security systemsto help them protect their homes. A home security system can be used to protect your house and your possessions (like your computer, TV, jewelry, etc.) while you’re out of town. Even more importantly, you’ll have peace of mind while you’re traveling. Make sure you don’t forget your code or pick something too obvious. Sometimes a person sets the alarm before leaving for a vacation or business trip, and the kid coming to water the plants accidentally sets it off! Awkward! You can find a home security system that’s right for you and your property!
