My name is Alex McCarthy and I have been playing online computer games off and on since 1996.
Most of my friends see me as the online game guru because I usually figure out the fastest and easiest ways to conquer online games.
So when I started seeing Farmville strategy guides popping up online I was pretty surprised.
I mean come on, a strategy guide for Farmville?
This was my response before I actually started playing Farmville.
But after my friends telling me about how "challenging" it was I decided to try Farmville out for myself.
Here's what happened:
When I started playing Farmville I was actually surprised at how many options I had to choose from. Should I focus on planting the strawberries, eggplant or the pumpkins?
The more I played Farmville, the more I realized how crucial a strategy guide was to winning since there where so many ways you could play the game.
I was having decent success with Farmville, but I was getting more and more curious about what I might be missing out on.
After I got to level 14 and was having a tough time getting further, I decided to give one of these Farmville strategy guides a chance.
After doing some research I ended buying FarmVille Secrets, a relatively new strategy guide that has pretty up to date tips and secrets on Farmville.
When I got the guide I really wasn't expecting too much.
I figured I would just pick up a few "golden nuggets" if I bought Farmville Secrets.
I was absolutely shocked at how effective Farmville Secrets tips were for me.
In just a few days, I was the Cream of the Crop, a level 25 farmer with a huge family farm and tons of neighbors to visit. Using the advice in this strategy guide helped me way more than I thought possible – even when I read them. I guess there's a lot more to this farming stuff than meets the eye.
Make no mistake, if you want to get the most out of Farmville you need to get Farmville Secrets.
Click here to try it out.
Believe me, you are going to love this guide.
Talk to you soon!

Cool WOW Cataclysm Guide
Sometimes, I can only sit and marvel at the amount of detail that goes into World of Warcraft’s design. Every terrain feature, every critter scampering around in the undergrowth, small things like the sound of hoofbeats changing when your mount is riding on paved road, a wooden bridge, or grass – it amazes me what the designers have achieved, a whole living breathing world inside a computer screen.
Almost equally impressive, to my mind, are the people who have created such guides as the Cataclysmic WoW Blueprint – deeply detailed, accurate descriptions that give you the scoop on WoW Cataclysm, the game’s latest and most dynamic expansion.
There are many aspects to the game – many facets that bring it alive and give you plenty of interesting stuff to do – but the Blueprint covers them all. Besides giving you a greased lightning guide to reaching level 85, the new level cap in Cataclysm, it has all kinds of other stuff that you’re likely to find as interesting, informative, and useful as I do.

How To Have Beautiful Eyes
Eyes have been called the windows of the soul because of how much they communicate. Eyes give your face energy and individuality. They do not have to be a certain size or shape to be considered pretty - all eyes have their own unique beauty. When makeup is applied to look natural it will bring out the eye’s true color and enhance the eye’s beauty. When you feel good about your makeup you will be more confident and will have one less thing to worry about.
A subtle application of eyeliner, shadows and mascara work together to create magic and make your eyes look their best.
Eye Shadow
Eye shadow is meant to highlight and define the eyes. Eye shadow is used to create depth to bring out the beauty of the eyes. A dark color used on the lid will make the eye appear smaller, while a lighter color will make it appear larger. That is what eye shadow is about creating illusions. These are the basic techniques for the following eye shapes:
Small eyes: Don’t use too much shadow or liner – it will make you eyes look smaller. Apply a light color on eyelid, use a darker color in the crease and use a highlighter under the brow.
Large eyes: Wear darker shadow on the lid and extend it to the crease. Use a flat color under the brow to highlight.
Deep-set eyes: Use light colors on the eyelid and under the brow. Use a medium color in the crease. Emphasize the outer corners with shadow.
Wide-set eyes: Use darker colors on the inner corners of the eye.
Hooded eyes: Apply light colors on the lid. Use darker colors from the center of the eyelid to the outer corners and blend.
Round eyes: Make round eyes longer by using color all around and extending toward the outer corners.
Asian eyes: Apply highlighter under the brow. Use light shadow on the inner half of the lid and a darker color on the outer half.
1. Light colors cause the eyes to open, dark colors will cause the eyes to recede
2. If you have very light skin avoid dark shades
3. Be careful with shimmer – they will bring attention to imperfections and wrinkles.
4. The eye area is the first to show age don’t tug on the skin.
Eyeliners:
Eyeliners are meant to define the eyes so they should do just that, not be the focal point of your makeup. Eyeliners idol lash come in various colors and forms liquid, pencil etc. Keep the eyeliner natural. Pencils are available in many colors (for the best look stick to black or brown) and can be sharpened for a fine line. For a smudged effect use a sponge tip shadow applicator or an eye shadow brush. When your pencils are too soft refrigerate them. When they are too hard soften them by holding them between your fingers.
To line the eye, start on the lower lid, just beneath the lashes. When you are finished always smudge the line with your sponge. Stay as close to the lash line as possible. On the upper lid, draw a line form the inner corner to the outer corner, thickening the line toward the outer corner. After the age of 40 keep the line in between the lashes.
Mascara and the creation of beautiful lashes:
Mascara frames your eyes and can make your face come alive. Mascara softly accentuates the eye while thickening and darkening the lashes; it is the finishing touch for eyes. There are several different types to choose from, thickening, and waterproof to smudge proof. Waterproof will need a special remover and smudge proof will wash off easily. It is not a good idea to wear waterproof mascara for extended periods of time since it has a tendency to dry the lashes.
Select a shade of mascara that complements your coloring. Dark shades on pale eyes with brown lashes will darken them and will look harsh. Stay away from blues and other colors since they will ruin your look.
Lashes that are hard to curl may need the help of an eyelash curler. Curl your lashes before you apply mascara – hold for ten to twenty seconds.
To apply mascara look straight into your mirror with your chin slightly lifted so you can see your lashes. Insert the wand only once and twist, don’t pump. Pumping can break the brush bristles and distribute the mascara unevenly and will dry out the mascara faster. Start by rolling the wand from root to tip in an upward motion. Reinsert the brush and apply again. If your eyelashes are thick and long they may clunk together. If this happens let them dry and then separate them with the corner of an eyebrow brush.

Need Farmville Cheats & Hints So You Can Become A Farmville Millionaire?
Over the past few months I have been playing a lot of the recent social networking games like Cafe World and Vampire Wars.
Usually I become one of the best players in just a couple of weeks of playing these types of games. One of my best friends told me about how the new Facebook game Farmville and how "hard" it was for her. After dominating all the other social networking games I considered myself an expert in these types of games, so I told her I would play it and show her how it was done.
Boy was I ever wrong...
At first I figured this was just going to be another "piece of cake" social networking game but I quickly realized that this game was a real challenge.
In just a few days, I was completely out of cash and didn't have any crops to plant. I have to be honest, I was definitely surprised at the difficulty of mastering Farmville.
After playing this game for a week I started to have a little success, but I still was not dominating Farmville like I do with most games.
I started looking on a Farmville forum one day and I heard someone talking about how they become a millionaire on Farmville.
My jaw completely dropped since I thought it would be near impossible for me to even reach $500,000. I asked him how he did it and he told me about a new secret strategy guide for Farmville, "Farmville Secrets".
I decided I would grab this new guide "Farmville Secrets" to see if it would help my progress in the game.
Here are my results from using "Farmville Secrets".
I was still on level 7 when I got the guide after 2 weeks of playing the game consistently. Now I'm the satisfied owner of a plantation and a level 26 Sultan of Soil. I still look back at my guide from time to time to pick up other tips for making money and raising my level. If you're having trouble getting into the swing of things in FarmVille trust me, "Farmville Secrets" is perfect for you. It has helped me tremendously so I know you will get a lot of benefit from it.
Here is the link.
PS: Please send me your Farmville success stories. I would love to hear how much money and what level you got using "Farmville Secrets".

Cure Hives
When it comes to natural hives remedies, you must first understand what causes hives to occur. Hives are caused when the chemical histamine is released when you come into contact with something you are allergic to.
There are several symptoms of hives that need to be mentioned as well. These include swelling and itchy pink lesions on your body, and difficulty in swallowing or breathing. What can cause these hives to occur are hereditary factors, allergies, and exposure to extreme heat or cold.
Natural hives remedies include using herbal tea to treat them. You can drink passionflower, chamomile, or peppermint tea to de-stress and make your symptoms ease somewhat. Also, 1/2 cup cornstarch along with 1/2 cup baking soda added to a bathtub filled about halfway with warm water at least once a day will help with the itching. Aloe vera gel added to the area where the hives occur two times a day will also help your itching and make your skin heal better.
If you take cayenne pepper capsules, zinc, or vitamins C or E, this will also give you some relief. The main issue is to know what is causing the hives to occur so that you can eliminate this factor from your diet or environment. This makes it much easier to battle the hives.
Cool compresses may help provide pain and itch relief. Calamine lotion will help you ease the itching. Milk of magnesia is also an excellent help for itch relief since it is alkaline. Another not as well known remedy is acupressure. You can find the trapezius muscle between your neck and shoulder; putting pressure there should take care of the hives.
Other remedies include taking an antihistamine such as oxyhives to clear up the allergies. You can try a milk compress; the cool milk will feel good on your skin and you can try this for about 15 minutes each time. An oatmeal bath may help with the itching. Another remedy involves making a poultice of crushed leaves of chickweed.
Others have found that a paste of water and cream of tartar applied to the hives until it dries is helpful. Then you would make another paste and apply it. If you brew the leaves and bark of red alder into a powerful tea, this is a good remedy for hives. Another is to use the leaves of black nightshade and apply to the skin.
There are many natural hives remedies. Just remember that if your symptoms get too extreme, or you have problems breathing, you should see a doctor immediately or even go to the emergency room of your hospital.
