A netbook is a laptop with a shrunken screen, an undersize keyboard and a processor that’s so slow, you’d have laughed at it in 2007. The netbooks’ crucial attractions are tiny dimensions, light weight and low cost, usually $350 to $500. Otherwise, they’re all about compromises.

- Werewolf359 - Home - Werewolf is a game of deception, involving 8 to 15 players.
Every player is randomly assigned a role at the start of the game, becoming either a Villager or a Werewolf. The Villagers are trying to kill all the Werewolves, and the Werewolves are trying to kill all the Villagers. Good times, eh?
There are always more Villagers than Werewolves, but during the ‘night’ rounds, all the Villagers sleep, and the Werewolves secretly collude to kill one Villager. During the ‘day’ rounds, the Villagers must try to decide who among them is a Werewolf, hold a trial and then execute them! The trouble is, by day, everyone appears to be innocent Villagers - only the Werewolves know for sure who their kin are.
With silver tongue or silver bullets, your goal is sway the will of the village so that it helps your side win.

WooHoo! MaggieMoo’s is giving away free ice cream. It’s on the one day everyone could use something nice and sweet and especially free – tax day, April 15.
You can find a MaggieMoo’s Treatery near you at this link
http://www.maggiemoos.com/visit_a_treatery/
Maggie Moo’s main page is here http://www.maggiemoos.com/
Here is the news release announcing the free ice cream:
ATLANTA - March 23, 2009 - MaggieMoo’s Ice Cream & Treatery has announced that on April 15, 2009 participating Treateries nationwide will reward customers with one free single-scoop of ice cream in honor of Tax Day. MaggieMoo’s will create its own "e-cone-omic" ice cream stimulus package for customers that will include MaggieMoo’s award-winning, super-premium ice cream. MaggieMoo’s is managed by NexCen Franchise Management, Inc., a subsidiary of NexCen Brands, Inc.
The nationwide ice cream social will take place throughout the day, and customers are encouraged to file-in-line at participating Treateries across the country.
"Tax Day is often a stressful time, and MaggieMoo’s stimulus package is meant to reward customers and to encourage those who have never tried our ice cream to have a taste," said Jenn Johnston, senior vice president of brand marketing for NexCen Franchise Management. "Ice cream has a unique way of making people happy, and we wanted to give our customers something to smile about on Tax Day."
In 2008, MaggieMoo’s was awarded four National Ice Cream Retailers Association Awards for its ice cream based on color, texture, taste and other factors that determine the quality of the product. The brand also just recently announced a new line of signature "Stylicious" ice cream cupcakes. Cakes and cupcakes are available for online ordering at participating stores through www.maggiemoos.com.
