Caribbean Cruising Blogger Opp
This is the first time I've seen this prize offered in a giveaway so I couldn't resist this blogger opportunity. Do come back between March 25th and April 25th if you are interested in winning the prize. It can't be used until the fall of 2013 or Jan-Apr 2014 so you can't escape this winter's cold.
Light It Up Blogger Opp
Time to start planning to have outdoor gatherings again? It might be a little cold for now in the northeast, but many parts of the rest of the country aren't so cold. Here's a blogger opportunity where the prize will help keep you warm. If you sign up, tell them Java John Z's sent you.

Blendtec Blender Giveaways
I'm part of a group giveaway put together by Colleen of My Vegan Gluten-Free Life for a Blendtec Blender. It seems Colleen isn't the only one offered that as a giveaway prize.
If you are truly interested in winning one of these $500 units, be sure to enter at these other blogs, too. These places are not just other places hosting Colleen's giveaway, like myself. They have their own reviews with their own prizes, and sometimes a slightly different model.
Nearly all of these seem to include a case of yogurt in the giveaway, too. Colleen was either short-changed or ate the yogurt herself.... :)

Lovin' The Weekend Blog Hop, 2/1-2/3/13
I'm the featured host this week. Join in if you blog.
Welcome to Lovin' The Weekend Blog Hops with your co-hosts:
Karen from Tots and Me, Maria from Adventures of the Mommy Homemaker and Rena from An Ordinary Housewife.
Thank you to every one who has stopped by, whether this is your first visit or you have been a faithful ongoing participant!
We would love for you to stop by each of the co-hosts and follow us, then feel free to add your links to any or all of the following linkies.
We also randomly choose a Featured host each week from the Lovin' The Readers linky. This week we are featuring John from Java John Z's.
Here's what he has to say:
"I'm a software engineer by day and a sweepstaker and couponer by night. I've authored several books related to Java technology, hence the blog name of Java John Z. I started blogging just last December (2012). I had always toyed with starting a blog and the triggering point was literally when I hit the 2,000 follower limit on Twitter and couldn't follow any more. I liked getting the extra entries in the giveaways so followed nearly everybody, except insurance agents. I'm still finding the right niche for my blog. It definitely has a Boston slant on things, from local giveaways to area happenings. I tend to have a ton of blogger opportunities posted as I'm just growing an audience and welcome the exposure they bring. I really don't sign up for all that I run across. And, I'm not afraid to tackle technology-related topics. (One of my most popular postings not related to a giveaway is instructions on how to cancel your NFL mobile subscription.) I've been toying with a series of posts with tips for bloggers, like article pagination and linking in Rafflecopter, but haven't started that yet."
Nabisco Coupon Time
It is that time of month when Nabisco releases their next Facebook coupon. This month, Grahamfuls. $1 off of ONE package. Should be able to get some nice deals with that one if you catch a sale.
Mom's Laundry Day Giveaway Blogger Opp
Here is another free blogger opportunity. This one to help with the laundry with a prize of dryer balls and detergent. The event itself is only a week long. If you sign up, tell them Java John Z's sent you. If you're blogless, come back on February 13th to enter.

Playing the Genetic Lottery Book Review
Playing the Genetic Lottery is author Terri J. Morgan's first book. Given the quality of the writing, it certainly won't be her last and only one. It is important to remember, though, that this book is fictional. The author does such a fantastic job illuminating the world of schizophrenia, which draws you into her world, that you have to pull back and recall this isn't non-fiction. The information related to the disease is factual enough, it is just the story that is fictional.
The story itself involves a woman Caitlin and the fears she faces of having children after having grown up with two schizophrenic parents. Has she or will the kids inherit the disease that destroyed her parents? Hence the lottery part of the title. Has she beaten the odds?
Caitlin starts out in the story on the young side, unable to cope with her parents' disease. Eventually she enters the Federal Witness Protection program, or at least moves away and changes her name. She wants to get away from the troubles and not have to deal with them. But, she can't escape her past.
Overall, a well written book with characters that seem almost real. The author's understanding of the disease reveals a great satisfaction of the knowledge acquired from her in depth research (or real world experience). The book's approximately 400 pages could be read in one sitting, but to get the most out of the title it would be best to spread around some more, through perhaps 3-4 sittings. Good job.

3D Virtual Reality Headsets Word of the Day
The secret word of the day for the 3D Virtual Reality Headsets Giveaway is:
Kia Test Drive for $25 Visa GC
I always register for these things, but the funny thing is I frequently forget to do the actual test drive. One day, several years back, I actually did like five of these test drives in one day and cleared $250. I brought my dad along for the trip and he was laughing the whole time.
Escape from Planet Earth Screening, 2/9/13
Summary
On the planet Baab, dashing astronaut Scorch Supernova (Brendan Fraser) is a national hero and master of daring rescues. However, Scorch does not work alone; his nerdy brother, Gary (Rob Corddry), head of mission control at BASA, often lends quiet, behind-the-scenes support. When a distress signal arrives from a dangerous planet, Scorch ignores Gary's warnings and sets out on a rescue mission. Scorch soon finds himself caught in a trap set by an evil enemy, and it's up to Gary to save him.

What is Vine?
First, if you're not familiar with Twitter, it allows you to post short text messages of 140 characters. In a nutshell, what Twitter offers with Vine is the same thing but with video. 6 second videos to be exact. And, for now, only on iOS devices like the iPhone and iPod Touch. That's really it.
Each 6 second video loops repeatedly in the regular app. Multiple apps are coming out that extend this basic functionality and replay what is posted to Vine on non-iOS devices. Vinepeek runs a constant unmoderated feed of what is posted, while VineRoulette allows you to enter a tag to monitor and see all that is posted.
Facebook apparently doesn't like Vine. In their long battle with Twitter, they are now blocking the friend finding feature of the app.
