The Word Joystick Says it All

Jobspeed asked:

It’s a quiz that only lasts 60 seconds yet has the best of them calling time out. The IT IQ 60 second quiz, hosted by specialist Australian IT job board Jobspeed, has got the questions to make the savviest IT geek crumble. It’s multi-choice heaven with questions ranging from “What is Bill Gates middle name?” to “What MS-DOS command can display hidden files?”

The quiz is accumulated over several weeks with the top 10 players having their names emblazoned on a ‘Wall of Fame’. The end result is winning prizes (and a few IQ brownie points with mates). The first edition of the quiz had prizes like iPhones & iPods, which are great, but the latest array of prizes will bring a tear to almost any geeks eye.

Let’s start with the Atari 2600, complete with instruction manual, all leads, 2 x Atari joysticks, 2 x sets of Atari Paddle joysticks, 2 x Spectravision joysticks, 2 x Keyboard Controllers, an Atari Video Touch Pad plus the following 24 games, all with instruction manuals: WARLORDS, BERZERK, SPACE INVADERS, YARS’ REVENGE, CONCENTRATION, VIDEO OLYMPICS, NIGHT DRIVER, CODE BREAKER, VIDEO CHESS, PAC-MAN, 3-D TIC TAC TOE, ASTEROIDS, SLOT RACERS, BRAIN GAMES, AIR SEA BATTLE, VIDEO CHECKERS, COMBAT, PITFALL, GALAXIAN, CROSS FORCE, GANGSTER ALLEY, MASTER BUILDER, CHINA SYNDROME and PLANET PATROL. OMG! I’m getting all misty just writing all these titles. The memories… (I still remember loading SABRE WOLF into the cassette player of my Commodore 64, waiting 10-15 minutes for the game to load, then pressing the left and right arrows frantically to move while whacking the space bar to swing the sword around – great times.) And that’s just one of the prizes, let’s continue with the dual screen Donkey Kong… in orange, 2 vintage Sony Walkmans and a Nintendo Zelda multi-screen. At 32, I’m feeling exceptionally old at the moment, but in a good nostalgic way. I love the fact technology has made these items ‘retro’, and that kids nowadays will never know how much fun we had with these prehistoric toys. I mean, the word joystick says it all.

Have a go at the quiz and, while you’re there, try and win one of these retro prizes. They make it easy for you to stay in the prize hunt if you’ve missed a few weeks as you can go back and play the previous quizzes. There are no excuses. Have a laugh, test your IQ, play an Atari 2600 - you know you want to.

Contact Lens Replacement Services

Contact Lens
Stacey Day asked:

When people damage their contact lenses on any given day of the week, sometimes it is necessary to replace them quickly because the person may not have a pair of eyeglasses that they can wear in the meantime. They may consult their doctor and have a replacement pair ordered through regular channels.

If this happens on a weekend, their regular ophthalmologist will not be in their office and the person might be unable to see until the following Monday. Through the use of contact lens replacement services, people can keep any number of contact lens available to wear for any occasion.

One of the requirements that must be followed in order to use a contact lens replacement service is that the person must register their contact lens prescription with the service. This is mandated and required by Law and there is no other way around it. Once this registration has been accomplished, the contact lens replacement service can offer a variety of services, and generally at a price far lower than that offered by their regular eye professional.

A contact lens replacement service can not work miracles. They are required by law to replace the lens prescription exactly as prescribed by your eye physician. This means, that the exact brand, specification and type of contact lens that the doctor prescribed for you on the day that your eyes were examined, will be the finished product that is delivered to you from the contact lens replacement services.

Many people try to renegotiate their vision acuity with this type of contact lens replacement services specialist, but they must adhere to the Law, and give you exactly what the doctor ordered for you. The only exception this policy, is that the contact lens replacement services can change the color of the contact lenses for you if you like.

This exception can be done by contact lens replacement services, only if the color of the lenses is offered in the exact brand that your original prescription was written for. If there are several color choices in that brand, then you can order several colors, to be stylish in any type of outfit that you wear.

Many people use these contact lens replacement services because they like to keep an extra pair of contact lenses in their home medicine cabinet. Business professionals might prefer to keep 2 pairs of contact lens at the office, because one of them will always remain in their briefcase, and the other pair is kept in their office desk drawer.

Should damage occur during a business meeting at a client’s business location, it is easy for the business professional to reach into his briefcase and take a moment and change them out in the restroom.

Scratches and unwanted deposits can make the surface areas of contact lens difficult to wear at times. It’s makes good common sense to keep two pair on hand, and it is more for convenience and practicalities than it would be for a fashion makeover. When time restraints prohibit a thorough cleaning and rinsing regimen, people will switch to another pair until proper cleaning can be done.

A Cigar Sampler Party: A Great Party Idea

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008
Quality Cigars
Ann Knapp asked:

For those who do a lot of entertaining, it’s hard to come up with new party themes. But the recent popularity of cigars offers a great creative party idea for stressed-out would-be party hosts.

Putting together a good party is hard - and gets harder as you grow older. In college, it’s easy enough to satisfy your guests with, say, a bowlful of pretzels and a keg of beer, but friends burdened with adult responsibilities - a job to get up for, a child to raise - may not want to drive out to your place just for some stale salt-heavy snacks and a can or two of average quality beer. So you’ve got to come up with fun new ideas. But this gets stressful, complex, and sometimes expensive as well. After you’ve tried out your first two or three great inspirations, you may begin to burn out on entertaining all together.

But there’s hope. Try throwing a cigar-sampler party.

Cigars aren’t just your grandfather’s chosen indulgence anymore - they’ve grown increasingly popular during the past fifteen years or so. After bottoming out during the 1980s, cigars became the break of choice for a well-educated, younger demographic, even as other forms of smoking went into decline. They’re just luxurious enough to feel like the break you deserve, but, since they’re designed to be smoked slowly, one at a time, and in moderation (unlike cigarettes), they won’t break the bank. Their infinite differences in taste offer the pleasures of connoisseurship as well: experienced smokers learn to enjoy the differences between double claro cigars (light and generally dry-tasting, with very tan outer wrappers) and maduros (dark brown in color and sweetish), between the great cigars of Nicaragua and those of the Dominican Republic or Turkey. A cigar-themed party makes sense if your friends are smokers, and it also makes sense for those who aren’t (as long as, you make sure not to invite anybody who’s passionately anti-smoking or allergic to tobacco).

Here are some tips on throwing a cigar-themed party:

1) Buy a sampler or two of premium cigars, until you have enough to cover the number of planned guests. (Keep the guest list small - you’ll have better-quality interactions, and you’ll keep the party affordable.)

2) Cigar samplers are easy to buy online, but be careful. Some cigar stores “lead off” with a too-good-to-be-true deal - an inexpensive sampler labeled “premium.” Usually these cheap “premium” platters actually contain only a few top cigars, and are then rounded out with cigar pawns - cheaply-made knockoff cigars. Make sure that your sampler comes from a high-quality cigar shop or online store, and that you know what you’re getting.

3) Once you have your premium-cigar sampler, assign one cigar to each guest.

4) On the night of the party, serve simple snacks before you serve the cigars. (Cigars tend not to go well with ultra-creamy or rich foods.) Hard cheeses, dark chocolates, fruit, coffee, and fine red wines or beers are recommended. Remember - avoid anything too rich!

5) After folks have eaten and had a few drinks, bring out the cigars. Have everyone head outside with his or her assigned cigar and a drink; light everyone’s cigar, and tell them to smoke up. You’ll have given all your guests something new to talk about.

6) If desired, encourage your guests to bring their own cigars, which can be collected and served as part of a “second round” later. Guests could compare the tastes of their two assigned cigars. You could even encourage one of your guests to bring some non-premium cigars, even off-brand gas-station cigars, as a gaga - though only if you’re going for a second round of smoking!

Experienced cigar smokers will enjoy the chance to share their enthusiasm with others. New smokers and nonsmokers will be trying and enjoying something new.

Remember when lighting to cut the cap of the cigar, then, using a wooden match or a zippo lighter or other full flame (not a paper match), turn the end of the cigar in the flame a full 360 degrees until every part of it is lit. Remind your guests who haven’t smoked cigars before that they shouldn’t inhale - this isn’t a cigarette! Pull the smoke into your mouth and taste it thoroughly without allowing it into your lungs. Remember, it’s about the taste.

2. Another acne cure is to use tea tree oil. You should use tea tree oil after you wash your face. The tea tree oil will help get rid of the bacteria that’s on your face that cause acne.

3. Drinking water is another acne cure. You should drink plenty of water. Drink at least 8 cups of water a day. Also, be sure to drink one to two cups of water first thing in the morning.

4. Another way to cure your acne is to use apricot juice. Rub apricot juice to your face for ten minutes a day. You can do this everyday or at least until you satisfied with the results.
