  • Comfort Food Addiction and Stress Link

    Comfort food addiction is described with these characteristics. Food products that have a high level of sugar, fat and salt and other chemicals that have been process together to enhances and amplify flavors will above normal food levels. Do to the abnormally high levels of sugar, fat and salt and other chemicals the body changes its chemistry to adapt to the affects of digesting these foods which has the affect of physically changing person’s chemistry. Once the body’s chemistry has changed which affects emotional and mental association to eating comfort food and relaxation through repeated eating comfort food for through reinforcement of behavior with comfort food the mind learns to relax before it even starts to eat your comfort food and that experience.

    The way comfort food affects relaxation is by reducing energy within the body, that is created by the affect of changing ones chemistry and the mind identify chemical change as relaxation. Any addiction is mind or mental state. Body stress in shoulders and tension in body and spirit energy force between the mind and body which is being supported by their breathing pattern that support addiction. It is the interaction.  All three that has to be address to change person’s compulsive behavior. The power of personal spirit to affect their emotional, physical and enjoyment reality has to be developed and incorporated otherwise you fight your addiction but do not change your addiction. The ability to enhance one’s personal spirit force is directly connected to the power of core/breathing for in order to do it at the highest level the whole torso is engaged in each breath and the mind is conscious (conscious is not thinking. But feeling action which lets you think with sense of feeling the body). Over time the mind and body will adjust its sense of taste to deal with comfort foods over active taste which has the affect of numbing the tong and mouth to point that a person will find it hard to taste anything else other than process foods.

    Because of altered taste a person will continually pick process foods over other foods because it’s the only time they can taste their food. Other foods that have not been process will seem tasteless thereby not enjoyable to eat. It takes time to recover taste once person stop eating comfort food. There is mindless eating to consuming comfort food for taste is not the issue but creating a chemical induce emotional relaxed state is. Then there are the times being with other people at parties and consuming comfort foods, with its high taste of salt, sugar and fat. One of the biggest times to eat comfort food is during entertainment like watching T.V. The minds focus is not on the eating of food but in conjunction of doing other things emotionally.

    Comfort foods become relaxing cluing to escape into entertainment while person is mindlessly eating to create a relax mind state. Yoshikawakougyou All pet foods use descriptive words like choice and premium, though few of them actually use premium or choice ingredients in their food.

     The ‘secret’ is that per the rules of the pet food industry, no pet food can make any claims or references on their label or advertising as to the quality or grade of ingredients. Laos-bank

     You see, the word ‘premium’ when it’s related to pet food DOES NOT mean that the ingredients in the food are premium.

    With pet foods, premium does not (cannot) describe the food nor does it (can it) describe the quality of the food. Rose-dance-school

     It is a marketing term and that is all. Per the pet food industries own rules and regulations.

     “There are no references to ingredient quality or grade” (regulation PF5 d 3).So, words like premium, or choice, or quality are just marketing or sales terms. They should not be interpreted as terms describing the quality of the food.

    The Standard American Diet (SAD) is lacking in many vital nutritional components. Being largely composed of prepackaged, convenience foods with few naturally grown food products; this diet has contributed to an epidemic of not only obesity.

     but also extreme nutritional deficiency. America can be found in Whole Food Supplements which are vitamin, mineral and phytonutrient rich products made from actual food concentrates.

  • RPGs for Every Video Game Console

    The gaming market is monstrous. Right now there are six consoles, three handhelds, and the ever present PC you can buy games for. Adsense That’s 10 different ways you can get your game on, so if you’re someone who doesn’t have the ways or means to buy all 10 platforms and every halfway decent game that arrives for any of them, you’re probably wondering which way you should go to get the most bangs for your buck. I’m a bit of a gamer nerd, and so for you I’ve collected the top five available games (in the stores now) for each console for each particular genre. Egg This round: RPGs. The Japanese RPG market exploded in the 32-64 bit days. Blowing out with a new game seemingly every week.

    You can blame square for that one, bringing to the stores amazing game after amazing game, which immediately spurned every other company to release whatever dreck they could muster to keep you pumping money into their pockets. Nowadays there are hundreds of options out there and the Japanese market isn’t the only one around. L-agente North American companies have their own answers to the RPG boom and now it’s a veritable flood of options. PlayStation 2 – The PlayStation brand name has been the home of quality RPGs since PS1 first rolled out with Suicide and Final Fantasy games in the mid- 90s. This list was hard because there are so many left off. Smallbiz Dark Cloud 2, Final Fantasy X, the Shin MegamiTensei games and many more deserve recognition, but alas these are also long as hell, so if you had more than 5, when would you ever finish them. You may notice I exclude the PS3, but I can’t really offer any PS3 RPGs for you until they’ve actually been created. We’re waiting. L-agente

    Shadow Hearts Covenant – The Shadow Hearts series took on a serious following after this entry, one of the greatest RPG releases of the generation. It’s take on the fantasy RPG genre blended into the realms of reality, bleeding over in church and demonology lore. Scan

    Taking place in the 19th Century and following the legend of a young woman and her unfortunate destiny, it can be enjoyed alone or along with its predecessors Koudelka and Shadow Hearts (I).Disagree – This is probably the best strategy RPG released for any console ever. L-agente Released by Altus, a brand name that has grown in and of itself of recent years to the respectability that names like Square and Level 5 now carry with their games. Disagree is about the young prince of hell and his quest to regain his domain after being awoken. With more than 200 hours of gameplay here, count on playing for days on days. And it’s funnier than hell. These are great characters. Unijoin Final Fantasy XII – The newest release, released only two weeks before the PlayStation 3’s release. This game redefines the epic scope of prior Final Fantasies, literally reaching for the stars. Orlo Each character is fully realized and a part of the action, their story an intricate part of the game. Children are inherently inquisitive creatures. They have a curiosity to discover new things and learn by way of discovering and experimenting even before they are subjected to methods of formal education such as reading or writing. Science is a discipline of experiments and discoveries. Curtainshop

    The National Science Education Standards emphasize that “science education needs to give students three kinds of scientific skills and understandings. Students need to learn the principles and concepts of science, acquire the reasoning and procedural skills of scientists, and understand the nature of science as a particular form of human endeavor.

  • Survival Tips – The Best Emergency Food Kit

    Who knows what the future holds? If only we knew, day to day, what challenges would arise; we would never be caught unawares. Unfortunately, life just doesn’t work that way. Those who prefer to look forward and make preparations for the “just in case” scenarios are often painted as fringe lunatics and doomsday peppers. However, assembling the best emergency food kit for yourself or your family should be something every responsible adult takes seriously. Just a few of the “normal” situations that could arise, when having emergency rations for your family would make sense, include: loss of a job, temporary layoff, extended storm damage or power outage that traps your family at home. Or perhaps you’d just like to be a position to help another family in need, should the opportunity arise.

     Whatever your reasons for looking forward and setting up emergency rations against a difficult time ahead, we are here to help you build the very best emergency food kit for your family. First, lay out your preparation strategy. If you’re just getting started in emergency preparation, you may not have more than a day or two worth of food in your cupboard. If that’s the case, building up a thirty day supply of food is a good place to start. If you already have 30 days of emergency rations laid by, the next step may be building up a six month or year emergency food kit. The important thing is to start somewhere, and build your supplies up until you’ve assembled the best emergency food kit that you’re able. Do you have children in the house? Teens? Older or elderly adults? Infants will require special feeding accommodations like milk or formula, while the elderly may have some unique nutritional needs, as well.

    Map out on paper that you’re building a food supply for and any special things you need to prepare for them, or for yourself. Then consider what it takes to feed that person for a single day. Once you’ve written down what it takes to feed one person for one day, you’ll need to multiply that by the number of people, and the number of days for which you’re preparing. There’s no need to live for a month on nothing but rice and beans. You don’t want to stock up on three months’ worth of food that your family won’t touch with a six-foot pole, just because it was cheap.

     It may keep you alive in a pinch, but you want to enjoy it, if possible. So take the likes and dislikes into consideration as you plan. Don’t forget to consider food allergies, as well. In an emergency situation, you wouldn’t want to face an allergic reaction from cross contamination, so better to avoid problem foods altogether, if possible. Uchihastore

  • Introduction to Designing Open Source Games

    Google has offered the open source tools and the education but it is up to you to learn and develop your own apps for smart phones to prove how competent you are at developing and designing open source games. And to what value you will be able to offer in future developments online Google I imagine are a great company to work for and as big as they are with the smart phones they realize they do not have the time or resources to single handily develop new gaming software nor for that matter have the time to exactly mirror working documents for the hand-held phones, it’s just not plausible.

    However, they have reportedly come to some agreement with certain apps available for the Android; I suppose to challenge the growing presence of Apple’s power. So, with that in mind let’s get into the details of online gaming design. Those already experienced in the language of C++ can use Java, and Java is gaming industry standard, Java is also known for its Flash integration, audio software, texts and cloud based open source development.

     This is usually done in Linux rather than UNIX and the imagery in these new media tools can be surprisingly refreshing. This has reduced the amount of work needed to learn these skills. Before you design the game there are a few things you need to understand when designing games for the phone. Like an I-Pad and other touch screen devices the Teflon screen creates a motion and by controlling your game from the screen can alter the response time of your game; these have been my main concerns about games for the Android. They are clunky and the controls unless scroll button enabled are very annoying. Similarly the tilt sensor in the phone is very advanced. Learning how to program a game like this is well beyond the scope of this introductory post. Kenhthoitiet

    All you need to know with these problems or if you wish to learn more about these high end problems of designing games for the Android phone are GLSurfaceView ATITC compression, VBO’s and there buffers (which are responsible and great for giving feedback when a game crashes because you can trackback the results of the crash. Some interesting terminology which will boost your understanding and help you educate yourself about games designing for Android phones are listed in this short glo2D side-scrolled – Parallax layers, tile-based worlds. I have been a video gamer since growing up as a kid (back in the 1980’s), with my first game system being the classic NES, and I have played many different games since then. Of course, I have also played plenty of twisted games too and some of them are surprisingly fun, humorous, and sometimes even popular, and in this article, I will talk about at least 5 of them.

     Ever wondered what it might be like living the life as a thug and getting involved in organized crime (such as gangs) without actually becoming a criminal. In the Grand Theft Auto series (with the latest installment being The Ballad of Gay Tony), you do just that. Hamtruyen

     The GTA universe is a popular roleplaying game, usually based in New York City (also known as Liberty City, though some games feature other cities such as Miami in Vice City and Los Angeles in San Andreas) where you usually control a thug (such as Nikko in GTA 4) and do missions for various crime bosses throughout the city. Appngon

     Some quests involves petty crimes such as stealing a prized car that a certain crime boss wants, while other missions may have you assassinate people that have crossed the criminal organization you are a part of, such as delinquents.

    In GTA San Andreas, for example, Carl Johnson joins the Grove Street gang and gets involved in a gang war with rival gangs, such as the Ballast (though he also works for crime bosses such as El Salvador, Doctor Rosenberg, as well as a corrupt government agent named, Mike Torreon to name a few).

  • Top Ten Classic Video Games

    Origins: Pong was based on a game called ‘Tennis for Two’ which was a simulation of a game of tennis on an oscilloscope. Physicist William Higginbotham, the designer, goes down in history as creating one of the first electronic games to use a graphical display. The Concept: The game is intended to represent a game of Tennis or Table Tennis (Ping Pong).

     Each player has a bat; the bat can be moved vertically. The screen has two horizontal lines on the top and bottom of the screen. A ball is ‘served’ and moves towards one player – that player must move the bat so that the ball hits it. The ball rebounds and moves back the other way. Depending on where the ball hits the bat, the ball will move in different directions – should it hit one of the top or bottom lines, then it will bounce off. The idea is simply to make the other player miss the ball – thus scoring a point. Game play: while it sounds utterly boring, the game play is actually very addictive. It is easy to play but very difficult to master. Especially with faster ball speeds, and more acute angles of ‘bounce’. Nostalgia: for me this is the father of video games. Without Pong you probably wouldn’t have video games – it started the craze that would continue grow and become a multi-billion dollar industry. Origins: this game was developed.

    Konami in 1981, and was the first game to introduce me to Sega. At the time it was very novel and introduced a new style of game. The Concept: Easy – you want to walk from one side of the road to the other. Phew made it – hang on, who put that river there. Better jump on those turtles and logs and get to the other side – hang on that’s a crocodile! AHHH! It sounds easy – the cars and logs are in horizontal rows, and the direction they move. The number of logs and cars, and the speed can vary. You have to move you frog up, down left and right, avoiding the cars, jumping on logs and avoiding nasty creatures and get home – do this several times and you move to the next level. Game Play: Yet another simple concept that is amazingly addictive.

    This game relies on timing; you find yourself dinking in and out of traffic, and sometimes going nowhere.  The graphics are poor, the sound is terrible, but the adrenalin really pumps as you try to avoid that very fast car. Or the snake that is hunting you down! Nostalgia: I love this game for many reasons. Origins: Tomohiro Nishikada, the designer of Space Invaders was inspired by Star Wars and War of the Worlds. He produced one of the first shooting video games and drew heavily from the playability of Breakout.

    The Concept: aliens are invading the Earth in ‘blocks’ by moving down the screen gradually. As the intrepid savior of the Earth it’s your task to use your solitary laser cannon, by moving horizontally, and zapping those dastardly aliens out of the sky. Luckily, you have four bases to hide behind – these eventually disintegrate, but they provide some protection from the alien’s missiles.

    When you have combat so intense that you’re literally ducking out of the way from behind your monitor. While these things definitely contribute to an awesome game and can lead to a lot of excitement.

    They cannot make up for a lack of storyline. One thing many players crave whether consciously or not is a strong storyline that leads them into caring about the game – it entices you – and makes you feel as though your wildest dreams. Carsflick

    If you compare such an audience exposure rate to the most popular video watched on you tube, it is easy to see why advertisers are turning to free online games to reach global audiences. What’s more intriguing are the demographics behind casual game players with a considerable percentage of the audience being young adults.

  • Complete Wii Balance Board Game List

    Complete Wii Balance Board Game LisI took some time to write a simple list about all the Wii games that are compatible with the Wii Balance Board (Wii Fit Board). Most of them are already released; some will be by early next year. I also included a small summery for each of the games. All Star Cheer Squad – basically you have to play a cheerleader who moves up to become the head cheerleader.

    Start of as the rookie who has to try out for even getting accepted into the squad. The more you play the game the more advanced routines you will learn. You can play career mode or mini game mode style. Academy Of Champions: Soccer – the tile says it all, a game basically for boys who love soccer. This title includes 12 mini games. Or play the story line to battle against a football academy. Fxcm-markets

     Try to make your team win the championship. Avatar – the game to the upcoming film Avatar. The film is by James Cameron. The game is an action based adventure game, which takes place at an alien planet. Daisy Fuentes Pilates – a great workout game not only for all the Pilates lovers, but also people in general who want to improve their posture and do some more exercise without going to the gym. This game includes 10 Pilate’s routines.

    There are 5 preset routines and 5 customizable ones. The game starts at the level of beginners, but will move up in difficulty to advance. You can play this game in English or Spanish. The commentator is Daisy Fuentes that will guide you all the way with her great tips in subjects like health and fitness. Dance Revolution Hottest Party 3 – a sequel to the Dance Revolution games. You can either play with the dance pad or as the title of this article says, with the Wii Balance Board. The game can be played in workout mode, story mode, lesson mode or kid’s mode. This rhythmic game is the best one until now, because all the previous titles didn’t include the Wii Balance Board. It includes also more than 50 tracks of music. Diva Girls- Divas On Ice – a nice girlie game who want to try out as ice princesses.

     The Concept: The game is intended to represent a game of Tennis or Table Tennis (Ping Pong). Each player has a bat; the bat can be moved vertically. The screen has two horizontal lines on the top and bottom of the screen. A ball is ‘served’ and moves towards one player – that player must move the bat so that the ball hits it.

  • The Top Facebook Games of 2010

    Facebook games have shown a lot of popularity during the past year. As Facebook adds more games to its already huge entertainment menu you may be wondering which games are the best and most fun to play. This article will give separate game reviews for each of the twenty five top Facebook games for 2010.  To start the Facebook Game reviews, we will begin by taking a look at the number one game on Facebook called Farmville. Saps-renovation

    Farmville which is made by Zynga currently has approximately 73,800,000 monthly users and is growing at a steady upward pace. Farmville allows you to interact with your friends and even become neighbors with them. Basically you will do everything a farmer does while playing Farmville. Planting, plowing, harvesting and growing a successful farm.

     Just make sure when playing this game that you harvest your plants on time. Different plants have different times for harvesting and if you don’t harvest in time the plants will die. By taking care of your farm you will get more points and go up in level. Birthday Cards holds the place of second most popular game of 2010. Birthday Cards is made by Rock You and has approximately 32,000,000 users per month. When using the Birthday Cards game you can customize and send free cards, use a birthday calendar, have a personal birthday list and personal reminders.

     The third most popular game on Facebook is Café World which is made by Zynga. Café World has approximately 31,000,000 active users per month.

Make sure to always feed your fish when playing Happy Aquarium because the fish can die just like in real life. This is a fun game for those who love wish and wish they had an aquarium in their home. The bad thing about this game is that you can’t feed your friends fish if you notice that they are dying.

  • Different Types of Card Games

    There are limitless types of card games to be played. People think because two games use the same deck of 52-cards that they are similar games, but nothing could be more different than Barb and Speed, or Paige and Pinochle. Here’s a list of twenty different kinds of card games, and some facts about them. Bridge is a popular contract bidding game. Bridge has a culture — there are websites, newspaper columns, and even radio shows devoted to bridge strategy. There is a world-wide obsession with bridge, even though it has been called the hardest card game in the world. With a complicated strategy and steep learning curve, too many bridge is not just a game, it is a lifestyle. I wish I were exaggerating. Ukstartupmagazine

    Whist could be called “Bridge, Jar” — and though it is not as big a game as it once was, and is dwarfed in popularity by big-brother Bridge, Whist has never really died out.Card gamers love trick-taking games — beating out your opponent in such a visual way is one of the more exciting part of any card game. Whist has some of the complexity of Bridge without any bidding.

    Texas Holder is something of a legend — a poker variation with a story as rich as a Spaghetti western. This version of poker, a drawing and betting game. Was invented and then made popular by old time poker sharks in Texas, hence the name. This is easily the most popular poker variant right now, and is bringing more new people to card gaming than any other game. It is said that most of the professional poker tour players are hardcore Hearts players and that they bet big money on cutthroat games of Hearts in dark mysterious rooms during tournaments. Romantic as that may sound, it would make sense for these card sharks to love the game of Hearts – an otherwise childlike game of matching cards (and no bidding) usually turns into a competitive nightmare. Investise

     People don’t realize it, but spades is a variation of bridge that simplifies the game even more than Whist and changes the outcome of the game as well. Spades is really popular in large groups, on college campuses, and in tournaments around the world.

     There may be as many variations of Spades as there are groups playing it — thanks to “jailhouse rules” which penalize tactics like point sandbagging and the existence of multiple versions of “house rules”.

    A strategic game you can play without paying much attention if you want. This is the simple children’s card matching game we all remember from our childhood. You can play Go-fish with as many players as you have cards.

    Some people claim Go-Fish is a variation of Rummy but the simplicity of the game and the children’s game gimmick make it likely just some toy company’s creation. Strangely enough, Go-fish is known as Literature in some parts of the world. Holloman

  • Incentives to Discourage Pre-Owned Gaming

    Do you buy your games second-hand? Then you are a complete cheapskate and the scum of the gaming industry. You’re worse than any pirate sailing the high seas of wares. Or at least, that’s what publishers want us to think.

     Whether you have the right to sell the products you have purchased is irrelevant: the sale of used games is damaging the games industry. When a new game is traded in or sold to a game store, that money is then kept by the retailer rather than reaching the hands of the hardworking developer, who spent blood, sweat and tears on creating their pride and joy. The same game could be bought and sold numerous times and it can be argued that those purchases are a potential sale which has been stolen from the game companies themselves. It is true that you don’t hear the music or film industry. Adsense-thinking

     Complaining about their second-hand losses, but does creating an album or a movie compare to the amount of money and effort spent on developing a Triple-A game title? As always, it is the consumer that decides whether a game is worth its $50 price tag, and often they decide to go with a pre-owned price instead.

    Game companies already utilize a number of methods to gain extra cash after the release of their games in the form of downloadable content (DLC) and there are now incentives to buying new.

    Pre-order bonuses seem to be popular right now with many games including codes for additional DLC or specific in-game bonuses. We’ll be taking a look at some of the rubbish incentives offered by publishers to encourage new purchases and what alternatives would be more welcome.

    Exclusive DLC & Pre-Order Bonuses: Gamers aren’t new to the idea of receiving bonuses within collector’s editions and the like, but more recently we’ve been seeing a lot of extra freebies within new games or as part of pre-ordering a title. Egg-job

     Most of this is in-game DLC, such as new weapons and armor, new maps or various other cosmetic additions which don’t actually add that much to the game. Before you design the game there are a few things you need to understand when designing games for the phone.

    Like an I-Pad and other touch screen devices the Teflon screen creates a motion and by controlling your game from the screen can alter the response time of your game, these have been my main concerns about games for the Android – they are clunky and the controls unless scroll button enabled are very annoying.
