When you're shopping for your child's first sewing machine, you're sure to find lots of different kid-specific models. They've got fun designs, bright colors, and compact shapes that seem perfect for your young sewers. The problem is, a lot of them simply aren't very good. Chances are, if it looks like a toy, it probably works like a toy as well!
Here at So Sew Reviews, we think that if it's worth teaching, it's worth teaching right! Your child deserves to learn needlework on a real machine, which can produce real results that they can be proud of. With that in mind, we've gone hunting for real sewing machines that'll be intuitive and easy to use when your child is first starting, but sturdy and powerful enough to help them expand their skills over the long haul.
After combing through dozens of options, we ended up choosing a few great models for you to look at. We think these are the best you can buy for your child. They're simple, sturdy, and powerful. Most importantly of all, they're affordable! Our in-depth reviews will take you through all the features we're loving on these machines, and help you figure out which of them is best for your child.

Best Sewing Machines for Kids Reviews
- Janome 2206: for simplicity and reliability
- Brother LS2125i: for parents on a budget
- Brother XM2701: for versatility and value
Janome 2206
The Janome 2206 is one of our favorite, no-nonsense starter machines. It's sturdy, simple, and intuitive to learn on. Janome is famous for their high build quality and excellent reliability, and the 2206 offers both at a very reasonable price. This is a machine your child can start on, and keep as a basic sewing tool for years to come.
It has all the basic functions your child needs to get started. There are six built-in stitches, with basic adjustments for stitch length and width. The simple control knobs make it easy to select the right stitch, and make any adjustments needed.
This one also has a four-step automatic buttonhole stitch built in. It simplifies one of the most painstaking procedures in sewing, and makes it easier for your kids to make functional bags and garments with closures.
It's very easy to set up. The Janome doesn't have a lot of parts, and there's not much assembly involved. It's also lighter than most machines, so it's easy to get in and out of storage–even for kids! That makes it a great option for people who don't have a dedicated sewing space in their home.
It includes impossible to lose, retractable spool pins. They're perfect for kids, who always seem to misplace those tiny bits and bobs in seconds flat!
There are a few little touches which make the manual threading system a bit easier to manage. The Janome has a push-pull bobbin winder, and a thread-through needle system which helps little fingers get the machine threaded.
There's a built-in thread cutter on the corner of the arm.
Even though it's a smaller machine, it cranks out those projects. This one sews up to 860 stitches per minute. Previous buyers were especially impressed at how precisely it stitches, even compared to more expensive options.
The manual tension controls are good for teaching your kid about the dynamics of using different threads, and sewing different types of fabric. They're easier to modify than computer systems, which try to work automatically (and can end up jamming with kids).
You get all the essentials in the box. There are three bobbins, a set of needles, a stitch ripper, screwdriver, basic presser feet (utility, buttonhole, zipper, blindhem, and cording). Plus, you can store all the tools and extras right in the sewing machine itself.
It's very sturdily built. The metal frame keeps the whole thing strong, and the thick plastic casing can handle all the bumps, bangs and scrapes that come with the learning curve.
Though it lacks an automatic needle threader, it is simple to thread. It may even be better than using cheap automatic threaders on other machines, since many cheaper automatic models only work part of the time.
The free arm and drop feed are excellent features for when your child starts to branch out and expand their abilities.
The extra-high presser foot lift feature is good for keeping little fingers clear of the needle while they make adjustments.
The light does a great job at brightening the workspace.
It's covered by a 25-year warranty, and has an excellent reputation for reliability.
The bobbin is front loading, which can be more difficult for beginners to get the hang of. We normally prefer top-loading systems for kids, but there's also nothing wrong with learning the old fashioned way. Be prepared to teach your child a few times, and make sure they can be patient with this first important step.
The plastic foot pedal seems flimsy. It's definitely not the sturdiest on the market. You also can't adjust the sensitivity of the pedal. That's expected at this price point, though.
Some (more advanced) children may want more stitches, especially for quilting and embroidery.
It also doesn't have as many stitch length adjustments as you might want. The Janome has just two settings built in.
Brother LS2125i
The Brother LS2125i is a budget-priced, full size option with every feature your child could want! It's ideal for kids who want lots of options for their creativity. Plus, the pricetag makes it an easier purchase for parents to swallow. It's lightweight, very easy to set up, and is even easier to learn than the Janome.
It has a few extra stitch options, and a similar buttonhole feature to the one on the Janome. You can select from ten stitches by turning the dial. One of these is an automatic 4-step buttonhole stitch. All of them can be adjusted for length and width.
It comes with a 25 year limited warranty. We like Brother's service program better than Janome's because ownership also includes free calls to their help line as long as you own the product! They also have a better reputation for answering promptly and helpfully than the competition.
There's a simple upper thread tension control dial to stitch different thicknesses of fabric. While this machine isn't the best choice for thick fabrics, the tension control gives your little needleworker the chance to play around with different types of threads and materials.
It winds your bobbins for you! That takes out one of the more annoying setup steps on any model (see example). We love this top-loading feature, because it means kids can get right to the fun part
Inside the box, there's a set of presser feet (utility, zipper, button sewing, buttonhole), as well as 3 bobbins, a needle set, a twin needle, screwdriver, spool pins, darning plate, and an accessory pouch to keep it all in.
It's very compact, and easy to pack away with the built-in handle. And, like the Janome, it has storage built in for all the accessories.
Unlike the Janome, the Brother features variable speed pedal control. That's great for helping your child keep up with the needle. It's always better to be safe when you're thinking about small hands, so the Brother's speed control is a nice security feature.
The free arm is small enough for children's sleeves, which isn't always the case on those big full-size models. This gives you lots of opportunities to teach your kids how to fix up their clothes, or modify old wardrobe items into cool, new creations!
Some people report issues with the thread locking up.
The tension control isn't always fantastic. You might want to take yours in for a tuneup, if you're not comfortable making all the adjustments yourself. You'll also want to be careful to wind the entire bobbin at the same speed. This will affect how it runs later, and have a big impact on tension issues as you stitch.
It's pretty lightly built. While the Brother's warranty coverage is the same period as the Janome, you might be more likely to use it. It has lightweight plastic parts, and as you might expect on a machine this inexpensive, quality control isn't superb.
Brother XM2701
This Brother model is our most versatile recommendation for kids. Priced between the smaller Brother and the Janome, it offers lots of different built-in stitches, features, and functions to get your kid started, and keep them expanding their abilities. We like it because it has a price tag close to the smaller Brother, but is sturdier and more powerful like the Janome. Its versatility makes it a great choice for teaching kids about working with different fabrics, like lace or denim.
It has the most pre-set options of our top three recommendations. It has 27 built-in stitches, and a four-step automatic buttonhole stitch with balance control. There are also 59 independent stitch functions which allow you to change the direction or placement of the selected stitch!
With so much space for modification, your child will be able to make truly personal creations. Plus, this gives you the chance to show them how all the little modifications can make a difference in their needlework!
This one is the most convenient of the three to get set up and sewing. It has an automatic needle threader, which is perfect for helping out little fingers. Best of all, this is the only one of the three to feature a convenient drop-in bobbin with transparent cover. Top loaders like this are much easier for kids to navigate. We also like the clear cover, which helps you see how much thread is left on the bobbin.
Like the other Brother, this one has an automatic bobbin-winder function. They don't get much easier than this!
The safe, built-in thread cutter keeps scissors and stitch rippers away from the machine, and protects your kids' fingers from the sharp edge. It's one of several design features which will give your parenting antennae peace of mind!
It comes with plenty of accessories–the same set you get with the smaller Brother model. They're all easy to store in the machine, so you can rest assured that your kid's sewing area won't spread out of control!
We especially like the quick-change feet system on this model. They snap easily on and off, and keep your child's fingers as far from the needle as possible.
At just 11 pounds, this one's a breeze to carry to class. If your child sews at school, this is an ideal travel choice. Also, if you don't have a dedicated space for them to work at home, this will make it all easy to pack away after they're done.
Just like our other two recommendations, this one's covered by a 25 year limited warranty. Plus, you get Brother's complimentary phone support service.
This is a noisy one. It's super light, and a lot of the plastic gears and internal parts make clackety sounds. You may or may not want to put some rooms between you and your child as they work. Still, given the price and functionality, it's something we're prepared to overlook.
The zipper foot takes time to adjust. The needle needs to be in the correct setting for it to work, and this can take some time to learn. Make sure you sit down and figure it out first, so you can help your kids when they get to zippers.
It has a tendency to travel as you sew through thicker layers of fabric. That's one downside of the lightweight design. Placing a rubber mat, or other non-slip material under the machine will help with this.
You cannot adjust the pressure of the presser foot.
Which of these sewing machines is the best buy?
The Janome 2206 isn't the least expensive machine here, but we still think it offers the best value. That's because it's built very sturdily. You can easily resell it at a substantial percentage of the original pricetag if your child loses interest. It's also a great value in the sense that it's sturdy enough to handle the learning curve of several little sewists. The old-fashioned, no-frills design is also perfect for teaching little ones the importance of proper technique. On the other hand, some younger or less patient users might find the lack of automatic features frustrating, so this is best for a young one who's happy taking care in their work.
The Brother LS2125i is the most affordable machine here. It offers more automatic features and presets than the Janome and we think it's a worthy choice for parents who want something that will give their child lots of features with minimal impact on their bottom line. On the downside, it's built more lightly than our other recommendations, so it may not last as long as our other recommendations, and it doesn't have the precision we like about the Janome.
The Brother XM2701 is the ideal choice for a child who's excited to try lots of different things. It has a lot of preset stitches and automatic features which make easier to keep a new little sewer interested and engaged. It also strikes a nice balance between Janome's build quality and the Brother LS2125i's value factor. Since it offers the best of both worlds, we think it's a clear winner for the trio.
What to Think About When Choosing a Sewing Machine for Kids
Shop for tools, not toys:
If you're going to teach a lifelong skill like sewing, it's important to teach your child on a real machine that looks, feels, and performs like the models they'll use later on. Otherwise, you're adding in an unnecessary learning curve, and cheating them of the real experience while they're learning.
Instead of shopping for kids' toys, look for small, simple sewing machines that are easy for kids to learn on without sacrificing the sensation of a real model.
The most important thing to remember is: if it looks like a toy, it probably IS a toy, and not a real sewing machine. Stay away from those cartoon-themed designs, and beware the flashy packaging!
In all seriousness, try not to let the fun, bright colors, or super simplified functions suck you in. A cheap mechanical design, wrought with plastic parts, lurks just beneath that pale-pink shell. If it looks like a toy, it probably is a toy.
Be prepared to spend a bit more money for something that will last:
Sewing is a skill that will prove useful long into the life of your child, and may even save you some mending tasks later! Spending a bit more for one that will last for years is an investment in your child's creative development.
Decide between manual and computerized models:
Computerized machines offer a bit easier learning curve, since they have lots of convenient automatic features that eliminate many of the tricky little tasks you have to do each time you set up or finish (threading the needle, loading the bobbin, tying off your stitch, etc.).
On the flip side, the shortcuts can sometimes mean your child skips those important technique lessons. They might seem tedious at first but they'll come in handy if your child runs into trouble later.
This is a choice you'll want to make by keeping your kid in mind. If they're impatient and want to jump right in full-bore, a computerized model can give them real results and the satisfaction of making a creation quickly. If they're careful and methodical, and enjoy details, a manual model can be very rewarding. After all, they'll be figuring it all out for themselves!
Give them room to grow:
We made a conscious effort to find models that are better suited for technical growth for your young spinsters than a the toy versions. They're easy to start on, but have features and adjustments that will help expand the machine's function as your child's abilities develop. You want to make sure you're not buying something that your kid will outgrow anytime soon!
Think about kid-friendly features:
You want a machine that's easy to set up. Children have small hands, and are still developing hand-eye coordination. Threading a needle may frustrate them, and loading bobbins can be tricky as well. You want a machine that's simple and straightforward to start, so they can get right to the fun part.
And, of course, keep safety in mind. Make sure you know where your kid's at, as far as self-control and common sense instincts. Teach them not to put pins into their mouth, to keep fingers away from the business end of their sewing machine, and get them a special pair of kid's safety scissors for use with fabric only (this will ensure they stay sharp enough).
One thing to keep in mind is that real sewing machines don't have as many safeguards as the toy models. The needles in these machines do move faster, and they do not have finger guards. However, finger guards can be purchased online. Some manufacturers even make machine-specific finger guards.
If your child struggles to keep up with the speed, simply place a Popsicle stick or other item into the pedal to limit their stitch speed.
Remember: these hacks are not a replacement for adult supervision. Always make sure your child is supervised when they use their new sewing machine.
Remember to encourage fun!
Kids love to have fun. If you want your child to utilize their machine and be excited about learning, it will have to be fun for them. Let them decorate their machine, or find a machine with embroidery designs they can customize their wardrobe with. Help them brainstorm projects, and find as many scraps or oddments as you can to give them room to play and explore!
More Suggestions:
Brother's computerized Project Runway CS5055 PRW is a great option if you want to spend some more money. This machine has 50 stitches, an LCD screen, and a slider to adjust the stitch speed. The many intermediate and advanced features this machine boasts make it a great machine for older children. No matter how quickly your child advances their sewing skills, this machine will support their every creative endeavor.
At a slightly higher price range, we recommend the Singer 7258 Stylist. . It has 100 built in stitches to choose from, as well as six styles of one-step buttonhole settings. You will also find a wide selection of optional presser feet included in the box (eight total)! This machine functions the way today's kids want, with push button controls, lots of nifty onboard features, and even an instructional DVD. You can choose to use the foot pedal, or use the slider and start/stop button. This one's a great choice for a teen or older child who picks things up quickly, and wants to jump right into sewing!

CheapTickets vs Convenience: The Low Cost Airline vs Traditional Airline Debate
The AirHelper
This year has been flying by fast, pun intended. Before we know it it will be summer and you will be on that dream holiday you've been so diligently planning. You've found the best most reasonably priced hotels, drawn stars around the notable attractions and you've watched that destination specific rerun only about one hundred times. You are rearing to go. But there's one question left to be answered. Which flight should you take? There's the flight with cheaptickets on the infamously troublesome low cost carrier that stops in 30 places and the more expensive direct flight on the traditional carrier. Do you save some money on the budget airline? Or do you save yourself the hassle on the traditional airline? Is a budget airline necessarily more troublesome than a traditional carrier? All these questions are running through your mind and guess what, you still haven't bought your ticket yet.
Since we want you to be having the time of your life. Let's help you answer some of those niggling questions! Check out this infographic from Moneymax.ph.

What is the new META?
The new meta is this annoying mob that picks many characters with TONS OF CC and disabling effects to catch and kill other players traveling in a huge pack all game and with disables they dominate team fights.
Not many people including myself agree that this is a viable META and that it should be thrown to the side and just forgotten about.Why you as? it is because even with the earlier description of the META it is absolutely awful it hardly ever wins. The lanes become abused and free farm everywhere for anyone using the correct META all it does is get you generally fed early on but that dosen't help you at all later when they have adapted to being passive and farming the hell out of the lane.
Why would someone try this?
Game are sped up no matter what the outcome is and the only people using this META that ever win are the ones using alistar and cho'gath to disrupt team fights long enough for the 1 0r 2 ADC's on the team to pick up several kills. so in turn the damage output is very strong with this META.
I have used this META myself before and won it isn't hard but you must make sure that the team is viable for what you are doing my guide suggests a very viable team for the META that team has TONS of disruptions to ruin the time of anyone who plays against them because with a team like that against you your team won't have enough time moving to be able to fight back.
Why would you lose?
Even though you can win you normally don't because your lanes are completely abused and pushed down and because you can't leave the Mob of teammates then you can't stop hard pushing against 3 lanes at once so your team will definatly lose by then.
Then how would we win?
If played correctly you have 1 or 2 fed ADC champions or a fed couple of others so then by focusing down Mid lane and disrupting and killing anyone who tries to stop you you may win. This only works if they are too dumb to finish off your seriously pushed lanes and they didn't have any CC or heavier disabling abilities to counter yours out.

Bill Clinton took time out from his job as UN envoy to Haiti and designated fund-raiser for the relief effort in Haiti to come to Massachusetts and campaign for Martha Coakley. While to some, it might seem a bit unseemly to engage in political campaigning when he clearly has some other, more important responsibilities (assuming that his titles aren't just mere window dressing), Clinton sees a perfect connection. It's all about good governance. If Haiti had had better governance for the past four or five decades, their infrastructure would be better and housing would be better and they'd be better able to aid themselves in rescue efforts. But they haven't had good governance. He describes both goals as this is just two sides of the same coin."
And that's why you should vote for Martha Coakley. Maybe if she's not elected, the United States will be vulnerable to the same kind of earthquake devastation as Haiti is. Or we might not get the Democratic health reforms and so we'll all die in an earthquake. Or something.
It's the lamest attempt to connect a totally political act with the human tragedy ongoing in Haiti. But then, that's Bill Clinton for you where everything is about politics and whatever he wants to make of it.
It's this sort of attitude that is making people excited about voting for their own Massachusetts miracle.

Bill Clinton: voting for Martha Coakley is like voting against the Haiti earthquake ... or something

Finally! Just when you'd given up HOPE that there might be some transparency in this current administration, Bill Clinton shows just what "transparency" is* for the Dems.
* is, as defined as the third person singular present indicative of be, as opposed to Bill Clinton's sometimes broader interpretation of the word.
- Old Retired Petty Officer said...
Got that "is" thing working again, doesn't he? By now most folks have given up on it. But Bill is sometimes that jewel of stupidity we have all come to enjoy. And by the luck of the draw, he was my CinC for only a shade over eight months.

Published: Sunday 30th November 2014 by The News Editor
Caroline Flack has topped the leader board on Strictly Come Dancing after "exploding" on to the dancefloor "like a little pot noodle".
The presenter and her partner Pasha Kovalev scored 39 out of 40 for their Turkish-inspired Charleston in a global themed edition of the BBC dance show.
Flack was awarded much sought-after tens from judges Len Goodman, Darcey Bussell and Bruno Tonioli.
Head judge Goodman told her it was her best dance yet, while Tonioli said he "adored it", and with a nod to Kovalev's hat which looked like the style worn by late comedian Tommy Cooper, he added: "She sold it … just like that."
Meanwhile, Craig Revel Horwood, who gave the couple a nine, told Flack she was "like a little pot noodle darling, exploding out there".
Just trailing by one mark behind Flack, and tied in second place with 38 points each, were pop stars Pixie Lott and Simon Webbe.
Lott and her partner Trent Whiddon performed a Dutch-themed Viennese waltz – complete with tulips – that was described as "a bouquet of terrific dancing" by Goodman.
Tonioli said it was "like watching a delicate bloom swaying in the summer breeze", while Bussell said it was "dainty and charming".
Blue star Webbe and his partner Kristina Rihanoff danced the waltz and Goodman described the singer as the "comeback kid".
The Saturdays star Frankie Bridge and her partner Kevin Clifton scored 36 for their jive.
Bussell described the star as "funky Frankie" while Goodman, making reference to their surfing theme, said she was "Frankie Bridge over troubled water".
Tonioli said she was "on the crest of a wave" and said the dance was "full of boisterous enthusiasm".
Casualty star Sunetra Sarker and her partner Brendan Cole found themselves at the bottom of the pile with a score of 27 after their rumba.
Former Towie star Mark Wright and his partner Karen Hauer scored 32 for their salsa, while EastEnders bad boy Jake Wood and his partner Janette Manrara scored 29 for their Argentine tango.

Dr. Heather Short
Hire Date:
July, 2004
Tell me about your background (pets, family, education, etc).
I graduated from Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1996 and have been in small animal medicine since then. I did my undergraduate at MSU as well. My love for animals started when I was around 8 years old and has gotten stronger ever since. It is my true passion.
I grew up with dogs but now own cats due to my busy schedule. Cats are more independent and easier to care for. I have 2 indoor cats currently; April is a 14 year old Domestic Short Hair. Mittens, also a Domestic Short Hair, is the new arrival and was born in 7/2013. Both cats bring great joy and lots of laughs!
I have 2 children. My daughter is a college graduate and lives out-of-state and my son is in middle school.
Do you have any hobbies?
My hobbies include scrapbooking photos of family, friend, and of course animals. I love to take pictures, watch movies, drive to various places like Chicago and Traverse City, bowling, bike riding, swimming, attending local fairs, and spending time with my two children and my 2 cats.
What do you like about working at Pet Vet?
My long term plans are to continue as a Small Animal Veterinarian while creating new relationships with people and their pets. I really enjoy preventative medicine, wellness exams, working with clients to help increase the quality of life for pets with chronic diseases, treating skin diseases, and working with all pets.

Federal and State Laws Regulating Pre-Employment Screening Background Checks and Safe Hiring
March 03, 2010
URL: http://www.employmentlawalliance.com/en/node/3017
Failure to exercise due diligence when hiring new employees can result in workplace violence, fraud, embezzlement and the legal and financial nightmare that can come from hiring someone with a false credential or who is not qualified. To avoid bad hiring decisions, employers increasingly turn to pre-employment background screening as a risk management tool.
The session will provide an overview of the latest legal issues triggered when conducting pre-employment screening in the United States. We will provide practical insight on how employers may conduct legally compliant screening programs that ensure that they hire a safe and qualified workforce and avoid claims from job applicants that their legal rights were infringed.
Speakers will focus on:
- Negligent hiring and how to avoid it
- Following the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCTA) in four easy steps
- The impact of state laws on background checks
- The pros and cons of using credit report.
- Avoiding claims of discrimination when using criminal records and other screening tools.
- The pitfalls with using the Internet and social networking site to screen applicants
- The Americans with Disabilities Act and background checks including worker' compensation records
- Auditing your hiring program: Obtaining a due diligence report card.
- Minimizing the risk of workplace violence

The Price Of Eating French Fries
"Test yourselves if you are in the faith; examine yourselves!" - 2 Cor. 13:5 10 Questions to Examine and Test Your Faith in GodTest Yourself Now
A recent study reports that each serving of French fries may contain 5-11 grams of trans fat. According to The American Heart Association no more than 2 grams of trans fat per day should be consumed. Please be advised: that is the maximum amount that may be eaten per day total but not just per food or per meal. It is also said that there are plenty of trans fats in some dairy products or meat. So most of us already consume this maximum 2 grams apart from the trans fats present in French fries.
What cause trans fats contained in most fast food?
- Increased risk of cancer.
- The deposition of harmful cholesterol in the walls of blood vessels, as well as, the development of atherosclerosis. Heart disease occurs in humans due to high fat content, forming cholesterol plaques.
- Reduced activity of the immune system.
- Metabolic disease (by constant use)
- Weight gain. Fried potatoes are a high-calorie food and therefore people who care about their weight should not include them in their diet.
Along with the trans fats our body gets, acrylamide and glycidamide, scientists from the University of Munich have found, that those substances are carcinogenic, i.e. they stimulate cancer.
According to the World Health Organization the safe dose of trans fats for the body is no more than 1% of food energy value.
So Should We Never Eat French Fries, Ever?
- Ideally, say NO to this kind of food! French fries, along with plenty other products of fast food, are hardly valuable and healthy because of the high content of hydrogenated fats. However, if you allow yourself a small serving of French fries one time in a two week period, your health may not be adversely affected.
Are Potatoes Healthy At All?
Completely rejecting potatoes from the diet is believed to be unreasonable for the following reasons:
- First, potatoes are the richest source of energy among all vegetables;
- Second, the protein in potatoes stands out by a high biological value because it consists of amino acids, which our body needs;
- Third, a particular important value of potatoes is that they are a good source of potassium, which plays an important role in supporting the heart;
Potatoes contain much more potassium than bread, meat or fish;
- Other much needed minerals in potatoes are: phosphorus, calcium, iron and magnesium;
- Though the potato is not the richest source of vitamin C, its still the cheapest way to get it;
- Potatoes cooked in their skins save about 90 percent of vitamin C; cleaned and cooked ones only about 80 percent;
- Finally, for those who care about their weight: the energy stored in a large potato is about 418 kJ. About the same amount is contained in an apple, orange or grapefruit.

In this empowering, romantic anthology of Lasting Love, there are carefully crafted stories by seasoned writers that offer an unforgettable experience. From the tale about a sexy young wife who conceives a lustful feast on Super Bowl Sunday for her handsome husband and his hunky, horny buddies, to the story of a tenth anniversary celebration that is as sexy as it is tender. But more than that, there are a few surprises, too. A sexually charged, thirty-three year old woman finally decides to act upon the silent love she's been harbouring for many years for a hot young stud, a soap opera star finds lasting love in the most unconventional, unexpected way imaginable in a Brooklyn Brownstone, and a hot looking gay couple celebrate their twenty year anniversary by travelling back to the sex club where they first met twenty years earlier. This is an anthology of traditional romantic tales, separated by quirky, often outrageous stories of lovers that have lasted and endured the test of time. The women are strong and courageous and the men are hot and willing to please. It's the perfect balance of escapism and reality, and there's something to be learned from each character, especially in the last story titled, La petite mort. Tony Wards R.

The last time Nebraska played a Steve Spurrier-coached team, the Huskers steamrolled Florida 62-24 for the national title. The stakes won't be as high when the Huskers meet Spurrier's South Carolina Gamecocks in the Capital One Bowl, and the scoring doesn't figure to reach anywhere near those heights, either.
WHO TO WATCH: Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez and I-back Rex Burkhead. The ball is almost always in one of these two Huskers' hands. They combined to rush for more than 2,000 yards and 24 touchdowns, including some option work between the pair. When we last saw Burkhead, he carried a school-record 38 times for 160 yards in a win over Iowa. The month off should really help him get his legs back after a heavy workload this season. Martinez made great strides as a game manager and leader this year but remains an inconsistent passer, as his 55.9 completion percentage attests. Martinez and Burkhead are a formidable pair, but they'll have to be at their best to counter an impressive South Carolina defense that allowed fewer than 270 total yards per game this season. Can either one of them turn the corner on the edge, especially with top-flight defensive ends Melvin Ingram and Jadeveon Clowney in pursuit?
WHAT TO WATCH: Can the Nebraska defense match South Carolina's? The Huskers thought they would have the same kind of disruptive defensive line as the Gamecocks boast this season, but an injury to star Jared Crick and underwhelming performances by others made this an average group. Lavonte David had an All-America season at linebacker, but much of the rest of the front seven was inconsistent during the year. This isn't a typical Spurrier team, especially with quarterback Connor Shaw posing as much of a threat running as he does passing. Star receiver Alshon Jeffery has been all but ignored and should be neutralized by Nebraska stud cornerback Alfonzo Dennard. So it will probably be up to the Huskers' front to make plays and disrupt South Carolina's timing in what could be a low-scoring affair. Do they have a Blackshirt-worthy performance in them?
WHY TO WATCH: Neither of these teams won a conference championship or even a division title, but this still has a chance to be one of the best non-BCS matchups. Both teams have a lot of talent and speed and spent some time hanging around the Top 10 this season. Nebraska has a chance to clinch its third straight 10-win season and will play its first postseason game as a Big Ten member. What better way for the Huskers to ingratiate themselves into their new league then by winning a bowl game against the SEC?
PREDICTION: South Carolina 20, Nebraska 17. It will be a defensive grinder, and the Huskers will struggle to move the ball down the field as the Gamecocks force Martinez to beat them with his arm. South Carolina's defense is just too good, and its speed helps contain Burkhead and the Nebraska option game.

I brick blocked some new games like punch out, and they worked fine at the disc screen, but after i hit start, I get the blank black screen and my wiimotes wont connect to the wii. I'm not operating on 4.0, because I am using homebrew channel to install and play wiiware games fine. Anyone have any ideas here. If it matters, the games were scrubbed according to the nfo's, which i then brick blocked and burned. Again, the disc screen recognizes it, but when i hit play i get a blank black screen.

In Pictures: Four Ultrabooks that turned our heads at CES
It's the year of the Ultrabook at CES 2012: feast your eyes on four freshly announced models that caught our eye on the showroom floor. [Words: Chris Jager]

In Pictures: Four new Ultrabooks that turned our heads at CES 2012
Ultrabooks are one of the most talked-about gadgets at CES 2012. The sleek, stylish and powerful CULV platform was everywhere we looked, and the variety on display was surprising. Here are four divergent models that turned our heads on the showroom floor.
HP Envy Spectre
The HP Envy Spectre is a Windows 8 Ultrabook boasting a chassis covered in glass. Highlights include a 14.4in high definition screen, a choice between Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, 4GB of DDR3 memory, 256GB of SSD storage and Beats Audio speakers.
HP Envy Spectre (cont.)
The backlit, full size keyboard has an appropriately premium feel.
HP Envy Spectre (cont.)
The lid sports a glowing HP logo.
HP Envy Spectre (cont.)
The Spectre doesn't skimp on the lights; in addition to the HP logo and power button, there's also a pulsing Beats Audio LED logo. (We wonder how much battery life all this subliminal 'bling' takes up?)
HP Envy Spectre (cont.)
The HP Envy Spectre's connectivity options include two USB ports, an SD card reader, MiniDisplay, HDMI and an Ethernet port. (Surprisingly, the latter is absent on some Ultrabook models, requiring the use of an adapter.)
HP Envy Spectre (cont.)
The Spectre's ultra glossy lid didn't look quite as sexy after a morning on the CES showroom floor: you're going to need to keep a cloth handy to wipe off fingerprints.
HP Envy Spectre (cont.)
The Envy is expected to hit local stores some time in March. Pricing starts at US$1,399.
Compal QAU20
Compal Electronics might not be a household name in Australia, but the Taiwanese manufacturer has a huge global presence. In addition to their own branded notebooks, the company produces notebooks for many major vendors, including Acer, Dell, Toshiba and Hewlett-Packard. In other words, there's a good chance you own a "Compal" notebook and didn't even know it.
Pictures above is the Compal QAU20; a Windows 7 Ultrabook that converts into a tablet.
Compal QAU20 (cont.)
The spacious keyboard and trackpad found on most Ultrabooks is a feature we've come to love.
Compal QAU20 (cont.)
The Compal QAU20 lets you charge your smartphone battery simply by resting it next to the Ultrabook. (Naturally, a charging strip accessory is required for your phone.)
Compal QAU20 (cont.)
By Ultrabook standards, the lid is pretty pedestrian looking; though this will probably appeal to business users.
Compal QAU20 (cont.)
The Compal QAU20 in tablet mode. The model we were shown was running Windows 7, which limited the tablet functionality somewhat. It will naturally support Windows 8 however.
Lenovo ThinkPad T430u
If you're looking for a business Ultrabook, Lenovo's 14in ThinkPad T430u is the model to keep your eye on. Product highlights include a choice of the latest Intel Core processors and Intel integrated or NVIDIA graphics, choice of SSD storage or up to 1 TB of HDD storage and quick resume/fast boot up. It also comes with Lenovo Solution Center powered by Intel Small Business Advantage, a set of productivity and security tools that manage overnight energy savings and automatic patch updates.
Lenovo ThinkPad T430u (cont.)
The ThinkPad T430u fits inside the Ultrabook platform's width specifications comfortably: it measures 20mm at its thickest point.
Lenovo ThinkPad T430u (cont.)
Despite its 14in display, the T430u is compact enough for business users on-the-go courtesy of its thin design and lightweight aluminium cover. The matte black finish should also see it suit the conference room - unlike the hot pink Asus UX21, say.
Lenovo ThinkPad T430u (cont.)
The T430u's keyboard is one of the more impressive offerings we've seen at CES to date.
Lenovo ThinkPad T430u (cont.)
The Lenovo ThinkPad T430u will be available in Q2 2012. Pricing starts at $849.
Intel 'Nikiski' concept Ultrabook
Intel has shown off some intriguing Ultrabook protoypes and reference designs at CES 2012. One of the more eye-catching offerings was this 'see-through' model dubbed the 'Nikiski' which features a transparent screen beneath the keyboard.
Intel 'Nikiski' concept Ultrabook
The notifications tiles strongly resemble those found in Windows 8, but Intel said it had developed its own UI for the system.
Intel 'Nikiski' concept Ultrabook
The screen is capable of detecting your hands when the notebook is open and you are typing on the keyboard. It automatically locks the cursor in place.
Intel 'Nikiski' concept Ultrabook
As you can see from these examples, the Ultrabook is a lot more than a MacBook Air wannabe -- we can expect to see even more variety and a move towards touch-based UIs in the months to come.
We'll be scouting CES for the rest of the week, so keep an eye out for more Ultrabook news and hands-on reports.
Lenovo ThinkPad T430u (cont.)
The T430u's keyboard is one of the more impressive offerings we've seen at CES to date.

Have had a timex watch for quite some years, until my husband took it for his own, it was and still is the best timekeeper Ive ever had, so a big act to follow. I love the look of this watch and am so pleased with it. Perhaps the strap could have been and inch longer, but hey ho not a problem. The service I received from the Watch Shop was second to none with an easy to use website and uber quick delivery time. An extremely pleasant shopping experience. I would recommend both this watch and this website to anyone else

A high-level delegation from Kerala IT left here on Tuesday to participate in CeBIT 2011, an international IT fair at Hannover, Germany from March 1 to 5.
The State is represented by Kerala State IT Mission Director Ishita Roy, Technopark CEO Mervin Alexander and Infoparks and Cyberpark CEO Binu A. Pazhoor. Kerala IT, the unified brand developed to promote business opportunities in the field of information technology, will showcase the IT parks in the State, including the just launched Kollam Technopark, Cherthala Infopark, Technocity and Cyberparks at Kozhikode and Kannur, along with various other investment opportunities in the IT sector across Kerala. The theme of this year's CeBIT expo is cloud computing.
The Kerala IT team will also visit the Pre Park in Kaiserslautern, Germany. A five-member delegation from here had visited the Kerala IT team in Technopark and Infopark in January 2011 to discuss a possible collaboration. During their visit to CeBIT, the Kerala delegation will try to formalise plans for a mutual collaboration with the Pre Park.
"CeBIT is an excellent platform to showcase the strength of Kerala IT and we plan to project investment opportunities. In the past few years, many blue chip firms have established their presence in Kerala. The State has witnessed unparalleled development in the IT sector during the past few years. ," said Mr. Alexander before leaving for Hannover. "At CeBIT, we look forward to highlighting the opportunities in the IT/ITES/BPO sector in Kerala," Mr. Pazhoor said.
