Valentines, and you live on the net

February 13, 2008 That's exactly what Jerry did to his girlfriend of five years, Katie.

He was the winner of 1800flowers.com online contest for the most unique marriage proposal. This week Jerry was unveiled as the winner and his clip was featured on YouTube and 1800flowers.com. Thousands kept their fingers crossed Katie would agree to take Jerry's hand in marriage. As most had hoped, she said yes.

Kicking the Habit

The Pennsylvania Department of Health's recently launched site determinedtoquit.com allows users to upload and access video blogs as a means of support to stop smoking.

The site also uses other forms of modern technology to help smokers quit. For example there is a progress chart where you log your smoking habits according to day and hour. That way you can see patterns and pinpoint which points of the day you are more susceptible to giving in. After you determine a pattern, you can have text messages sent to your phone at times you are most likely to smoke.

Friends and family join the site to offer support. The website also offers non-biased information on other stop smoking aides like the patch. The site is still new so it will continue to develop its tools.
