New Game Apps Coming Soon!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of AppGear for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

My sister in Germany is spoiled by her husband when it comes to the latest gadgets.  My niece, who is two and a half years old, doesn't have much interest in playing phone apps yet but I am sure it won't be long before she does.  Though she is very active, she is not much into tech stuff yet.  She really enjoyed the Barbie Dolls DVD that I sent her on her last birthday.  As a matter of fact, according to my sister, a day doesn't go by without my niece watching it.  

AppGear is an innovative line of apps that seamlessly interact with cool, collectible toys and shift the digital gaming world into a new reality called an Amplified Reality.  App Gear will be launching Foam Fighters and ZombieBurbz this month and four more titles within the next three months.  The new games will be called Alien Jailbreak, Elite Commandar, Akodomon and Mysterious Raygun.

The company behind AppGear, WowWee, has been a leader in innovative toys, robotics and consumer electronics for years.  They are now entering the area of applications for the mobile digital world.  The games that they are developing are primarily for 21st century kids who have access to all kinds of cool electronic stuff.

Physician Only Network

Have you heard about Doximity? It is the largest real-name and physician only network. It enables doctors to connect with each other and communicate vital information within an exclusive, private network. It is the only network that has combined such valuable information into cohesive profiles. For example, if a physician is looking for a doctor who has experience treating an abdominal aortic aneurysm, lives in California and speaks Spanish, a physician member can type those three key words into Doximity’s search bar to find the right match for their patient. Here’s an example of a Doximity profile that meets those search terms. One can see Winston Capel MD training, his clinical areas of interest, specialty, languages spoken and publications appended from PubMed.

Tons of Options

Guest post from: Natalie Walter

There are tons of different texas electricity providers in my area and I’ve been researching which one to go with. It’s hard when you’re moving to think about all that stuff – the utilities and whatnot – all you want to concentrate on is making sure all your best stuff is packed up and isn’t going to get broken in the move! I love the new house but I have to say it’s got less storage than the condo so I’ve been having a bit of a hard time finding a place for everything. Downsizing isn’t exactly what I did but it’s what happened in terms of my closet space! I can’t wait to get paint on the walls and all my boxes unpacked but you know, there’s something to be said for living simply like I have been the last few days. I can’t believe I haven’t had but three shirts to wear and not even a shower that works to my name but I guess you can get by on less than you think you can!

Hybrid Dogs

I am not a big fan of dogs. As a matter of fact I have been afraid of most of them for most of my life. My hubby had a dog before I got here to the US but it ran off or got snatched before I got here. He has talked about getting another dog from time to time but I am not really big on the idea. Although I have to admit that some of them are really cute.

I like the president's dog Bo because he looks really cool and seems to be very friendly. They say that his breed is called a labradoodle which is a mix between a labrador and a poodle I guess. These kinds of dogs that are a mix between two pure bred dogs are called hybrid dogs. There are all different kinds of them out there but I think that if we do get a dog I would like it to be a labradoodle.

Moving for our daughter

Contribution by Stevie Kirby

I am not sure of the number of rural internet provider companies in New Hampshire, but I can sure tell you how many there are in Southern Virginia. It seems like a silly fact to boast about, but I think I am just as knowledgeable about the services, providers and locations as the actual company salespeople would be. I guess it is because when I was moving to that part of Virginia, I needed to know what sorts of services I could get and for what prices. We moved to Virginia because our only daughter wanted to go to Virginia Tech. We wanted to be able to pay in-state tuition, so before I knew it, we were in Southern Virginia trying to get services like Internet, TV and electric set up. It really was not too difficult to find a good price for the area we were living in. I was pleasantly surprised about that. Our daughter is our only family now so it really was not a question whether we would move or not. My wife and I both found new jobs to sustain our living and all that was left was my little darling getting into the school.
