Climbing the WordTwist Ladder

There are a million ways to waste time on social networks and computers in general, much to the chagrin of hundreds of thousands of employers across the nation. Heck, around the world for that matter. All of them are fun, but some of them rise to the level of an obsession.

It started out with games like Computer Solitaire and Tetris. When I was in college, the big addictive game sucking everyone's time was Bejeweled. In fact, my roommate and I even had t-shirts made up of a cartoon we saw where Jesus is drinking a Sprite and staring intently at a computer screen. There is a speech bubble coming in from the outer frame of the cartoon that says, "Son, weren't you going to get on that Second Coming thing? Also, I thought I told you to mow the Heavens." To which Jesus responds, "But, Dad, I'm Bejeweling!" That may or may not seem funny to you, but the point is, the addiction was widespread - among internet nerds, anyway. My roommate and I both qualified.

With Social Networks, however, time-wasting and obsession moved beyond the realm of the net geek and into the mass culture. Everyone has a MySpace. People have killed countless hours messaging, commenting, and in general micro-communicating via social networks since their inception.

Well, Facebook has found a way to marry those two concepts with Facebook games.

Initially, I thought I was immune to the charms of Facebook games. I am far too busy and far too mature, I told myself, to start frittering time away at Facebook's answer to PopCap.

Until my friend Brandy challenged me to a game of WordTwist. Now I can't stop playing.

Initially, it was a fun little time-filler when I had five minutes to kill. But that very quickly blossomed into a full-blown obsession with beating my college boyfriend's score. Which I did, about a day into my quest.

And it's spreading to other members of my family, as well. Now my Mom and nine-year-old niece both want Facebook accounts so they can play WordTwist.

I also noticed when I was on my ex's page leaving an unrelated comment that one of his notifications was, "Jeff is climbing the WordTwist ladder," so I think he may be hot on my heels.

I'd better go see if I can raise my score!

Surefire Advice to Help You Overcome Panic Attacks

Should you be looking for ways to overcome panic attacks, the best advice which anyone could possibly give you is for you to begin to understand the attacks and what causes them, so as to be able to effectively overcome the attacks.

Firstly it is essential that one understands that these anxiety or panic attacks are caused by incorrect programming in the subconscious mind which might have taken place many years before the attacks actually began to occur. This often occurs when ones subconscious mind associates a bad experience or fear with certain situations or stimulus due to the programming which it received during the formative years and thus it triggers a negative response to these stimuli or situations later on in life.

Take for instance the example of someone who might have fallen off a ladder at a very early age and got a huge fright because of it, this may trigger them to begin to suffer anxiety or panic attacks when they are confronted by a situation where they are required to climb a ladder later on in life.

This is a very basic example but the principle stays the same for any situation or stimulus which might trigger an anxiety or panic attack in an individual, for some or other reason the subconscious mind has been incorrectly programmed to send the individual into fight or flight mode when confronted by these situations or stimulus.

So to be able to effectively overcome panic attacks one needs to find a way to once again access the part of the subconscious mind which is responsible for this inappropriate reaction and somehow correct this programming so as to be able to stop the attacks from occurring.

There are a few techniques which have been proven to be very successful in this regard and some of them are brainwave programmer, hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and meditation.

All of these techniques are very natural and have no side effects so they are far better for the individual than some of the other conventional treatments in my opinion as they actually go to the cause of the disorder rather than simply alleviate the symptoms.

Dock Ladders

Dock ladders are used on docks to transfer material or people from the boat to the dock. They consist of several straight, simple steps. A dock ladder needs to be permanently fixed to the docks that are wooden platforms, sea walls or stationary docks with floating water lines. Most of these dock ladders come with hoop handles to make climbing in and out as easy as possible. In case the dock space is limited, it is a better option to purchase a ladder without handles.

Dock ladders come in a variety of models. Some of them are fixed and some removable. Removable types can be lifted out without use of many tools and stored safely for later use. This helps in avoiding unnecessary exposure to water. Dock ladders can generally take up to 200 lbs of weight. But some special ones come for industrial docks that can take up to 500 lbs. Dock ladders have a range of 2 to 10 steps to accommodate varying dock heights. For safety, dock ladders are often found in a yellow color. They are mostly made from aluminum, fiberglass or stainless steel materials. Whatever dock ladder you purchase, make sure that it can sustain in fresh and salt water for long durations.

To mount a dock ladder, drill holes where it is to be installed. Then it needs to be secured with the help of bolts or welding. One must check regularly for any disintegration signs on the dock ladder, since it is in contact with water most of the time. A dock ladder can be purchased from boat material suppliers or on the Internet.

Building Speed Muscles With a Speed Ladder

What are speed muscles? Simple they are fast twitch fibers inside the muscles. A great way to develop fast twitch fibers is to use a speed ladder. A speed ladder or agility ladder is simply a ladder that is placed on the ground for athletes to perform multiple drills that are geared toward developing speed muscles or fast twitch fibers. The more of this type of muscle fiber the faster, quicker and more agile the athlete will be.

There are over 20 different quickness drills that can be used with a speed ladder and all of them help develop fast twitch muscles. The drills range from lateral movement side steps, to front steps with staggered movement. All drills require quick and explosive movement's .These movements are what are behind the development of the fast twitch muscle fibers.

Agility ladder training programs have seen gains in forty yard dash times and shuttle times. Add a little resistance training or speed training to the programs and the athlete should see phenomenal results. Results have been known to be as much as .10 on your forty and .20 on your shuttle times. The reason for double the gains in shuttle times is that the speed ladder drills are really designed to develop the quickness of an athlete for short and quick burst. The athlete will still see gains in their forty times as well so there is no reason to not use the drills if you want to increase your sprinting as well. If your first 10 yards are faster after you have gone through speed ladder training, then your overall forty times will be faster as well.

Even a track athlete will gain from this type of training. The track athlete will be able to get off the blocks faster and that translates into fast sprint times. The ideal training for speed will include a speed ladder, but also some overall speed and agility training, good nutrition and diet, and proper core training will maximize the athlete's results.
