After a few weeks of cloth diapering tips and tricks, Babble.com news and best green baby products, we're thrilled to return to our Monday Mama series.
Meg M., new mom to six-month old Eli and wife to Josh, lives with her family outside of Pittsburgh, PA. She blogs about domestic open adoption, parenthood and life at God Will Fill This Nest. She is a developmental specialist for children from birth through three years old and also helps with her family's restaurant.
Q: How have cloth diapers changed your life?
I honestly did not even know that anyone cloth diapered until two years ago when a family I see for my job began using FuzziBunz (I work for a state program for infants and toddlers with developmental delays). The second I saw that cute little baby running around with that fluffy bum, I knew I wanted to use them, but didn't know much about them or have any kids yet. When we began the adoption process last year, one of the first things I did was purchase 24 Fuzzibunz One-Size Diapers from a local retailer, for the future baby that would come to our home one day. Little did I know that six short weeks later our son would be placed with us.
By choosing to cloth diaper Eli, I feel like I am giving him the best that we can offer as parents. The first few weeks that he spent in disposables were a constant mess of red skin and bleeding diaper rash…since the switch his skin has been clear and healthy. I like knowing we are doing something natural, and safe, and beneficial for him. I have added to my diaper "stash" since he was born and am in love with new Fuzzibunz Elites that we just purchased. Adoption is also expensive, and I always tell waiting adoptive families that cloth diapering is one way to recoup some of the agency cost. By the time Eli is potty trained, we will have saved enough money to offset application and home study fees. Between the cost and the benefits to our child, it has certainly changed our life for the better.
Q: The first thing I do when I wake up is….
Honestly, the first thing I do is look over and stare at my baby in thankful amazement. Even though he is over six months old, Eli still sleeps in a mini-crib in our bedroom for attachment purposes. Every morning, I check on my sweet baby and feel overwhelmed with how awesome his story is. I love that he is close by and that he is learning early that we will always be there for him. And….the second thing I do is check Facebook on my phone….not quite so deep and moving, huh?
Q: No matter how much time it takes, I always….
Find time to talk to my friends and husband. I love my family, and LOVE being a mother. However, we mamas (and dads!) need to remember to also care for ourselves and foster healthy relationships. Even if its a 15-minute phone conversation with my best friend, I try to make sure to stay connected, to ask about how others are doing and to (very) occasionally go out for lunch or coffee without the babies. I think it makes us better parents in the long run. Playdates are fantastic and certainly one of my favorite parts of motherhood. But the "Girls Night Out" dinner I had with some friends from church this week was equally needed and actually re-energizing for me. Of course, we still talked about babies half the time anyways…but I returned home that evening ready to cuddle Eli, feeling refreshed as a mommy.
Q: The most unusual thing in my diaper bag or purse is…..
A random assortment of pamphlets and flyers on community events. Being employed in human services for seven years, I accumulate a lot of "stuff" in my car, bag and house. Providing families with resources as a career trickles over into my personal life, too. I love being able to whip out a brochure for someone about a local daycare, pull out my phone and give a friend the names and numbers of two local eye specialists for kids or tell everyone I know where the upcoming community rummage sales are. MOPS, special needs and adoption support groups, and free events for kids are all on my radar. Community connectedness is important to me and I like to pass that knowledge on to others.
Q: If I could live in one outfit for the rest of my life, it would be….
I do like style and enjoy dressing up when its appropriate…but I am all about comfort! I would have to say my favorite outfit is my black capri pants that are sooooo faded and old, and a cotton tank top (with a zip up hoodie if its chilly!). Flip-flops are also my shoe of choice. We spend weekends through the summer at our family's cabin in the mountains and my capris/tank/flip-flops is my uniform for the warm months. The second I get home from work, I change into "comfy clothes"- then I feel like I can relax, hang out with my husband and play with Eli. I even have a stash of comfy clothes at my mom's house for when we go there to hang out!

Nationally, there's a shortage of nurses, and it's getting worse. Current estimates are that there will be a 20 percent shortfall in the number of nurses needed by 2020. Obviously, the country can't afford to lose any qualified student who wants to be a nurse. For that reason, the UTMB School of Nursing (SON) is trying to boost the odds that students vying for a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) degree actually graduate.
So far, approximately 12 to 14 percent of the students who have entered UTMB's B.S.N. program have dropped out before completing it. SON administrators believe that most students who withdraw during the first semester do so because they discover that the nursing profession just isn't for them. But to dissuade those who might leave the first year or later for preventable reasons, SON officials are attempting to address their problems in advance by, among other approaches, providing more guidance counseling, offering lectures on time management, and teaching the latest information technology. In addition, nursing students now may opt from the start to lighten their weekly coursework load by taking three years instead of the traditional two to complete their degrees.
Students entering in the fall 2004 B.S.N. class now carry handheld personal digital assistants (PDAs)—Palm Pilots and similar devices—that can put clinical reference databases at students' fingertips. To assess pertinent information, instead of thumbing through a hefty textbook, students evaluating a patient at the bedside now may refer to their wallet-sized PDAs. To enhance patient safety and ensure more accurate treatment, nurses no longer need to rely on memory alone, said Trish Richard, SON assistant dean for nursing informatics and distance education. PDAs allow students to double-check medical information, such as drug dosage.
These innovations recognize that nursing students and the way health care is provided have changed. Their goal is to help nursing students stay on track toward graduation, said SON associate dean of student affairs and admissions Ruth Marcott.
In the past, some nursing students have struggled with the program. Today's students often lead complex lives. Many are older. Some have family and other responsibilities. The coursework may be harder than the junior-college curriculum that many SON students are used to. Sometimes students can't juggle jobs or family responsibilities with the heavy time commitments demanded by clinical rotations. The nursing education program must help students meet their goals while maintaining busy lifestyles, Richard said.
UTMB is receiving some financial aid to help SON students overcome these hurdles. It has won two grants from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and the Texas Gulf Coast Workforce Commission totaling about $305,000 to help retain students. That includes $276,000 from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board for projects to better familiarize students with information technology. SON officials think that today's students, who have grown up with the Internet and video games, will benefit from a technology-friendly curriculum. In addition to textbooks and lectures, many may need three-dimensional animation or "learning objects" such as PDAs that serve as electronic references with guidelines on drugs or diagnoses, said Zena Mercer, an SON faculty associate who instructs students in new technology. Other methods range from streaming video or online calculators to interactive methods such as patient-simulation mannequins.
"The students have changed," Marcott said. She continued: "They don't think in black and white. They want their learning aids in color, and moving, and with music. What we're trying to do is tap into the different learning styles of today's students." For example, students in a class on pathophysiology (the study of functional changes brought on by various diseases) might better absorb material with multicolor web-based animation that integrates embedded images, sounds, movies, and text to show how a failure of the left side of the heart is different from a failure of the right side of the heart. The animation also might include interactive pop quizzes that students can take immediately after viewing the image of a moving heart.
The SON curriculum also is adapting to changes in health care. Because hospital stays now are shorter thanks to managed care, a patient may be out of the hospital before a student nurse gets much of a chance to observe him or her. The grant from Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board includes about $20,000 to keep the patient simulation center open evenings and weekends. Increased time with mannequins that mimic patients' symptoms and conditions will better hone students' clinical skills, Richard said.
"Health care technology is exploding at an exponential pace," Richard said. In this environment, she added, students who are comfortable using information technology are more likely to succeed. Last May, three months before incoming B.S.N. students' first semester started, Richard led a week-long information-technology "e-Camp" for them. There, students were assessed on their ability to do advanced Internet searching and to develop PowerPoint presentations. They also attended a lecture on managing time. Moreover, the students were taught study skills and about working in groups with students who have different learning styles. The e-Camp also featured social events, consistent with the belief that friendships and camaraderie help provide the moral support students need to succeed.
E-Camp put incoming students in touch with their faculty advisors months before the students formally entered the degree program. Since fall 2003, the SON has had a full-time academic advisement coordinator, Lana Payton, serving as the liaison between students and their assigned faculty advisors. This early intervention already has helped some students, said Payton, who has counseled some students on issues such as time management and who has put others in touch with faculty to steer them onto the right path.
Most students seeking bachelor's degrees in nursing are older than freshman students at typical four-year colleges or universities, and many have families or jobs. In fact, about 80 percent of UTMB's B.S.N. students are older than twenty-one. About 17 percent are between ages twenty-six and thirty. Still others are in their thirties or older. Nikki Crouch, a resident of Angleton returning to school after raising four children as a housewife, said she found the e-Camp sessions "very beneficial."
As noted, another option being tried is to let B.S.N. students decide up front whether to do a three-year program in lieu of the customary two-year track. (Previously students were switched to the three-year program only after they were already faltering.) The three-year course costs an extra $610 in tuition and fees, plus living expenses for the three additional semesters. In fall 2003, only eight incoming students enrolled in the three-year program. The number jumped to twenty students in fall 2004. With more students across the country returning to school mid-career or attending school part-time while working, taking extra time to finish a college degree has become a common experience.
"It's not a stigma anymore," Marcott said. "It's a way to do it that's realistic. The goal is to get them through the program successfully."

i wanted DGM so bad for mine, wasn't patient enough and couldn't find it. happy with black but love that color.
Thanks, guys. Not bad for some pics off my iPhone 4, right?
I was very fortunate to find my car when I was looking to buy. At the time, it was the only DGM sedan in base trim (which is what I wanted) available out of seven Subaru dealerships nearest me. I would have settled for a WRB or SSM, but really wanted a DGM.

Muhahaha!!! Fine, "Camreye" or "Corolleye," there's still nothing like a Subaru.
I kinda like the "stink eye" designation. I wonder if it would ever catch on in the Subaru vernacular. I'm normally a terrible photographer, but these came out surprisingly well. I just used the HDR function on my iPhone 4. But good lighting and subject, as well as a decent background, can do wonders for taking a good shot.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2013 Nissan NV1500 Cargo
By KBB.com Editors
For 2012, Nissan is jumping into the commercial van market with its full-size "made in America" NV cargo and passenger vans. Until now, customers looking for a full-size work or passenger van could only turn to Ford, Chevy, or Mercedes-Benz. Nissan sensed an opening for an all-new, affordable van designed to accommodate the special needs of customers in a way no previous domestic van can match. Available in cargo van form as the NV1500, 2500 HD and 3500 HD – the latter two offering a towering extended roof option – the NV poses a serious threat to the outdated Ford E-Series and Chevy Express. There is also an NV3500 HD passenger van offering a number of unique features regarding passenger comfort and safety.
The 2012 Nissan NV holds wide appeal to anyone that needs to move a lot of cargo or people, but must also mind the budget. V6 models are priced right, and the vast capability of the cargo van's configurable cargo bay is staggering.
The Nissan NV van for 2012 isn't quite as handsome as its Ford and Chevy rivals (if a van can be considered handsome), and it doesn't have their long repair and reliability history either. If you're looking for diesel power or all-wheel drive, you'll have to look elsewhere.
New for 2012 is the NV3500 HD passenger van series. Built from the same platform as the NV cargo van, the passenger version offers configurable seating for 12 with integrated seatbelts, and side-curtain airbag protection for all rows.
Driving Impressions Standard on the 2012 Nissan NV1500, NV2500 HD cargo and the NV3500 HD passenger is a 4.0-liter V6 engine that is surprisingly capable. Even with a full crew on board,...
the engine pulls strongly, although it does labor a bit once up to speed. The big 5.6-liter V8 is probably preferable for those who care more about utilizing the NV's 3,925-pound maximum payload or its 9,500-pound tow rating, and less about fuel economy. Ride and handling are about what one might expect from a massive rolling brick, but we must say the NV's suspension does a good job stabilizing the big van in the turns, and its 45.2-foot turning diameter, while not tiny, is a few feet better than the Ford E-Series or Chevy Express. As for acceleration, the NV can easily keep up with its rivals from Ford and Chevy, but it will just as easily outrun (and overtake) the slower, but more fuel efficient, turbodiesel Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.INTEGRATED SEAT BELTS
For anyone who's had to fight past the web of ceiling-mounted seat belts to reach your shuttle's rear most seats, the NV's clever solution of integrating the belts into each seat will be a welcome sight.
Available on the cargo vans, numerous pre-drilled and reinforced anchoring positions allow customizers to add all manner of shelving, tool racks and accessories without damaging the cargo bay's steel walls.
Both the cargo and passenger variants of the 2012 Nissan NV go out of their way to please the customer. On the NV3500 HD passenger vans, there are numerous storage and cup holders, as well as overhead lighting, heating ducts in the floor, and 65/35 split/removable rear seats. The 65/35 divide allows for more flexible cargo and seating space. In the cargo van, Nissan created a cargo bay with an available 120-volt 3-prong outlet, a level load floor and flat-top wheel-well housing to aid stacking, and multiple pre-drilled anchoring points in the floor, walls and roof.
ExteriorThe most noticeable exterior feature on the Nissan's 2012 NV2500 HD and NV3500 HD van is the available extended roof. This option increases interior ceiling height by 21 inches, allowing a 6-foot person to stand upright in the cargo hold. Access via the sliding side door is easy, thanks to its 40-inch-wide opening, while the split rear doors can swing open to the standard 90 degrees, or be moved back a full 243 degrees, held in place by a magnetic stopper. Nissan specifically made the NV's lower rear opening wide and flat enough to accommodate a forklift loading pallets.
Standard equipment for the 2012 Nissan NV includes 17-inch wheels, tilt steering wheel, folding outside mirrors, rear step bumper, water-repellant seat fabric, AM/FM/CD stereo with auxiliary audio input jack, and air conditioning. The passenger van adds power outside mirrors, privacy glass, 12-passenger seating, and an under-seat pull out storage tray. Standard 2012 NV safety equipment: electronic traction and stability control, front airbags and, on the passenger van, front side-impact and ceiling mounted full-length side curtain airbags.
Options for the NV cargo van include front side and side-curtain airbags, power windows, power driver's seat, cruise control, remote keyless entry, two 120-volt outlets, 8-way power driver's seat, rear door glass, in-dash navigation radio with USB port, Bluetooth hands free phone connectivity, XM satellite radio, rear sonar system, in-mirror rearview monitor, and Nissan's Fleet Telematics tracking and recovery system. The NV3500 HD passenger offers such premium items as chrome clad wheels, power heated extendable tow mirrors, front and rear sonar system, dual-zone front air conditioning, heated front seats, leather appointed seating, 6-speaker audio, and Nissan's Vehicle Immobilizer system.
The 2012 Nissan NV van comes standard with a 261-horsepower V6 engine and 5-speed automatic transmission. This engine easily out-powers the V6 options from Ford and Chevy, and nearly matches those vans' small V8 engines. Still, for the really big jobs you'll want the 5.6-liter V8, which is standard on the NV3500 HD cargo and available on all but the NV1500 series. Although not as torque-laden as the diesel engines from Ford and Chevy, this V8 is impressive in abilities to tow and haul, and its operation is free from harsh noise and unwanted vibration.
4.0-liter V6
261 horsepower @ 5,600 rpm
281 lb-ft of torque @ 4,000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: TBD
5.6-liter V8

"I bought the NV1500S with 25,000 miles on it, within one year I've put 20,000 more miles on it without one problem. Highly spacious cargo area allowed me to built custom cabinets for it and still allow me to transport tools & the custom cabinets I build. The height also allows me to load sheets of plywood standing up (try that in an e-series!). I also can fit 2-24' ladder's in it easily with a compound sliding miter saw & stand, table saw, compressor and extending plank. The cab is very comfortable and is put to the test in the 3+ hour commute's I make into Boston. Mileage is decent in the V6, 16mpg average loaded up (lots of traffic). I couldn't be happier with it, great van!"

"I've had every kind of cargo van they make. I work in home remodeling and Nissan really came out with a van for a contractor. I can't think of one complaint I absolutely love my van. Nissan just got a life long customer with this one. Any other van I had left me scratching my head wondering why they did it that way or why they didn't . Everything about this van just makes sense they definitely had the contractor in mind while designing this van. I would absolutely reccomend the nv to anyone. Thank you Nissan"

"I wanted a large Sprinter-type van, but could not afford 50,000 + dollars. I decided to check out the NV2500 HD, and I'm very happy I did. It had all the options: The power driver's seat is great, and maybe the most comfortable driver's seat I've ever had. I got this with the intention of turning it into a mobile Big Metal Tent for traveling. I'll be able to stand upright in the back, and I expect to be able to fit everything necessary for a cross country trip back there (no toilet, or plumbing) . I don't drive very hard, or fast, and on the freeway, out of the mountains, I get 20+ MPG....Average 18 altogether...I expect to have a long and happy relationship with this, my (hopefully) last retirement road trip machine...."

"I bought this 2 weeks ago used and drove it 1500kms home and just love it.It has 25000km and works like a charm. For work I haul around 1500pounds of stuff and the V6 works very well and is ample power. On the highway I got 18mpg and my combined now is showing about 16. Nissan have done a great job making sure of a convenient, comfortable and smart work truck with their amazing back doors and side sliding door. Inside everything is nicely done with grab handles to power outlets to tye downs and lots of compartments which I find great.I have a 2007 Chevy Express 2500 which is going for sale and good bye. If Chevy and Ford don't wake up the NV is going to kick their butt. There is no comparison in the boxes and comfort of the Nissan to the Chevy. I did not rate the reliability as I just purchased it but the previous owner said there were no issues whatsoever with it."

"Just returned from a Tx to FL trip with 9 us in the van and towing a 30 ft. travel trailer. This van blows away my previous vans; a 2002 Dodge 3500 and the 2007 Ford E350XLT 6.0 Turbo-diesel that I traded in on this. The handling , comfort, stability and power of this van are all impressive. The transmission is amazing in how it handles towing a large load, I never once had to floor it. The three 12 volt and two 120volt outlets were very handy. Without a trailer the backup camera makes parking this beast absolutely easy. Biggest drawbacks; not offered with running boards or any type of video options. This van is the only one to have for large families like ours"

I really want to get to one of these tops when they hit the online store.. such a cool concept.
It´ll definately be to expensive, but if by magic it ended up costing like 500 euros, I´d get it. It doesn´t feel like it´ll be very comfortable, but it looks awesome that it´d be crazy to pass on buying it... and probably also crazy to get it
Regis, it´s wood apparently. So I think I´d need a drycleaner/carpenter to clean/fix it
I wish I lived somewhere cold enough to justify my crushing lust for expensive knitwear.

User Review - LibraryThingMorton is an excellent companion! Learning worn lightly. He conveys both a sense of wonder and history as if the reader were standing @ his elbow. The title is a little misleading, he covers only parts of northern Italy, but this he does well. I would urge anyone to read this before any more recent guides on a first trip to Italy.

So while we "patiently" wait for the release date to the new AC game for the Nintendo 3DS to be announced I figured I'd talk about some of the features I think will be added to this game and some other ideas of my own that I think would be a good addition to the game.
Swimming: Let me begin with the new ability to swim in this game! I've noticed that in every picture and video I see of the players swimming they're always wearing shorts. Maybe the players can only swim when they put on some swim trunks or when they take off their shoes. I hope this isn't the case as I would like to just be able to jump in the water whenever I feel like.
Wouldn't it also be amazing if we could have a whole place to explore underwater once we dive? A place to look for collectibles or maybe to just see what type of fish are in season.
I know most of you have already seen this but I still need to post this for those who haven't.
This is the Animal Crossing's developers discussing the new features for the new AC game coming out for the Nintendo 3DS.
Hello Readers! I've been wanting to do an Animal Crossing Blog for a while now and I just finally decided to create one!
I'm not sure what I will be focusing on but I've been posting a lot of art work from other fans of the games lately so that's a start.
I Will most likely talk about speculations and ideas for the new AC game coming out for the Nintendo 3DS. I will also be posting new AC:3DS news as it comes out to keep you guys informed. :) Aren't I just the nicest?
Oh, and I doubt I'll be posting anything from my own AC games with the possible exception of my City Folk character because he looks bad ass!!
Hope you guys enjoy.

Makes a gooey whitish restriction in the cap tube and pretty much the whole sealed system. Since the tubing in most chest freezers is basically hidden within the cabinet, any leak that also draws in air is mostly impossible to repair. Maytag for instance recommends replacing the evaporator, compressor and condenser in the case of a low-side leak due to this phenomena.

Mar 14, 2014One of the best game I've ever played, even though learning curve is really high it still gives lots of fun.
For some reasons I heard that this game is really imbalanced, probably because it's mostly directed to competitive scene. -

Feb 17, 2014This one of my favorite games - appears simple but is devilishly complex. You'll want to proceed through the entire tutorial, and then ease into multiplayer, expecting significant early failure. Stick with it though, and experience one of the finest in free to play competitive RTS.

Feb 2, 2014I like dis game very much. I wait long time, but Volvo giff me diretide and new character to play with. Game is not dead anymore. Thank you Volvo, I buy your car and game for long time.
Jan 31, 2014Nice game, nice graphics and sounds. Very good gameplay. It's a cooperative RTS so it could be very stressful, a match could last an hour. Anyway the interface is pretty and very clean and the game is well balanced. Just perfect for it's genre (beside the aforementioned design choices).
Jan 30, 2014This game is awesome. This 180 degrees better than the previous game. It has more better graphic, more easily to play and the most I love is this game has the build guide that makes newbie can join to play too :)

Jan 28, 2014Its a very good game. I started playing since the beta about 1 and a half year ago. Its true that its hard to master the game but Its very interesting and fun to master each hero. As you get to learn that each character is situational and not the same. I have become addicted to it and i find it as my favorite Action RTS.
Jan 27, 2014Negative points just come from the delay Diretide event. People are not really mean. Great graphics, best RPG gameplay, great metagame. E-sport game of the year 2013. Enough said!
Jan 27, 2014Amazing gaming, VERY difficult to learn but amazingly rewarding when you start to understand the mechanics and using little details that can turn the tide of a game on the long run.
Jan 26, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Jan 22, 2014You will kinda like the game but you will hate the players, and most of your games will suck.
Dota is a complex game, but it's painfully lacking features such game must have or they are terribly executed.
Icefrogs dota 9
Lacking features -3
Players i am forced to play with -3 -
Jan 21, 2014I'm waiting Terrorblade long while not adding the hero awaited by me and many I did not come back to play it, already disappointed several times and am no joker to reveal more than once
I'm passionate about the game, but when icefrog took care of him was much better, this valve breaking several fans. -
Jan 18, 2014This game is not great for the next generation of first Dota. Because the game with big size and have only few improment. First Dota only need under 10 mb for one map. This is very not great.
Jan 15, 2014
Jan 14, 2014
Jan 11, 2014Very amazing, great graphics, gameplay, and community. Better than LOL, guardians of middle earth, torchlight, and any moba game out there!
Jan 9, 2014Many blame the game for its horrible community. It is indeed rude and childish, but to blame the game itself for it would be pointless. As for the game itself, it's pointless to rate a free-to-play product of such quality and stability lower that 10, as Valve has done tremendous job to preserve DotA into Source engine and introduce new elements which help attract new players and old players alike.

Jan 8, 2014I gave this game a chance, I really did. I've given all these cookie-cutter MOBAs more of a chance than they deserve and I'm done. I don't see how anyone can enjoy playing this river of yet it's extremely popular?

Jan 7, 2014
Jan 6, 2014A Fan base so immature it could be compared as a too the infamous Call of Duty fans.
Definitely an unfriendly game too play, On Dota, there is no hiding the chat, so guaranteed first time playing you'll see your name being thrown around for how terrible you are at this game you've just began playing. -

Jan 3, 2014terrible match making........ terrible comminty i play more than one year more than 1000 game
resolt nothing steall i have to play with noobs with terrible people sorry valve no more dota 2 speacialy after last ridiculus match making thing -
Jan 1, 2014I played Dota for a long time, but was frustrated with the heroes who used magic because the damage does not increase with the items (some only). Hard to imagine a mage with items of intelligence becomes stronger in physical damage. For this and other reasons currently playing LoL.
Dec 30, 2013
Dec 30, 2013One of the most boring gaming experiences I've had in my life. Valves worst game by far.
............................................................. -
Dec 30, 2013Nonsensical matchmaking, imbalanced heroes, horrible community, same heroes picked every single pub... After 1 year of playing Dota 2 and over 1000 games, I finally snapped.
Dec 30, 2013
Dec 29, 2013
Dec 29, 2013terrible community, new heroes take forever to release and all that's being released are unnecessary cosmetics, seems to me that valve just cares about making money. On the bright side, it's free to play and has really good gameplay. Certainly the best moba game there is right now.
Dec 28, 2013
Dec 28, 2013
Dec 27, 2013they dnt give diretide n time. basically game is terrible. if u play game u no wat diretide is n i lose much of everything from not diretide... basically how am i get item when u give me diretide then dnt.. then wehn i qwit then they give diretide.. okay not fair what is retard game?
Dec 26, 2013Abusive and annoying community. Very basic game. Character design and image is very minimal and adds now really feel to them. You need a very good PC to run the game properly and smoothly, despite the graphics looking dated.
Try other MMOBAs before returning to this one. -
Dec 26, 2013
Dec 26, 2013
Dec 25, 2013dota 2 es un buen, no es para cualquiera es agresivo no es para nops y no es de cuento de adas pero en el puede ver la que un momento vas ganando y luego pierdes, solo digo para todas esas criticas que dicen que es malo, pero el dota es uno poco juegos parciales que ganas por lo que sabes y tu estrategia y no por itens ni tiempo en el es el mejor juego
Dec 24, 2013The game is nice very close to the original dota witch i loved). the game is much more complex from LoL so at first it is a little hard but i like it when its hard) the game has some way to go but its a very good game, just give it a chance
Dec 24, 2013This game is one of the most skill intensive games out there. The team dynamic is crucial to do well and the game play is fun and highly addicting. If your looking for a game to really submerse yourself into, then this is it.
Dec 24, 2013Best game made in the last years, thank you for picking up a bootleg WC3 mod we all loved and got hooked! dismemberd! and life stolen by! Thank you Valve
Dec 24, 2013Complex, competitive, fun and loads of teamwork. Different play styles can lead to victories or defeat with heavy punishments for small mistakes. A single team fight can change the whole course of the game. With varied controls and a huge amount of heroes to play, any combination of skills and items can be possible. DOTA 2, a very good experience and takes a lifetime to master.
Dec 22, 2013Impressive how you can take one of the most loved games the world over, and come out with such a terrible sequel. Based on a Blizzard game- I suppose the devs are doing what they can to follow suit.
This is the Diablo 3 of mobas. -
Dec 22, 2013All in all this game is a good one.
Since the first beta days there was a large improvement.
As a result you have a normally balanced gameplay, a lot of heroes to choose, different events and a lot of patches.
Valve has proved that they know how to create a real special game. -
Dec 21, 2013
Dec 21, 2013
Dec 20, 2013One of the best, competitive games I've ever played. It is free, so get all your friends battle for the most epic Action Real Time Strategy game ever!!!!
Dec 20, 2013
Dec 20, 2013servers so bad and it sadly valve fix it!! imbosible to play ffs yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Dec 20, 2013This game is generally terrible, with also an obnoxious and toxic community. If you are a new player or possibly interested, STAY AWAY
Don't Waste your time and money -
Dec 20, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Dec 19, 2013It's so sad that a lot of people put negative comments in this great game all because of Diretide. Otherwise very good game. New player here and extremely pleased at how well made the game is. Good job Valve.
Dec 19, 2013I would normally give this game a 9. But since a bunch of kids gave it a zero because of diretide, I'll give it a 10. It's one of the best competitives teamwork games out there and it's quite polished also.
Dec 19, 2013Free game, awesome updates and great community. The micro transactions give you no advantage in game which is awesome. Also there are constant updates to make the interface fresh.
Dec 19, 2013
Dec 19, 2013
Dec 18, 2013If you want real MOBA, this is. If you just want to think you are good at MOBA, go play LoL.
There is a reason that even Blizzard is going to copy Dota -
Dec 17, 2013Es una obra muy interesante de valve vale la pena jugarlo. Algunos míticas series de valve puede que sea hasta ahora una de lo juegos mas adictivos de este genero que muy fácilmente puede coronar 10 puntos
Dec 16, 2013I give this game a 9.5, but it is closer to a 10 so I'll give it that. It is also to offset the idiots that think giving a game anything at or below a 3 is appropriate. It is a lot of fun and is the most complex MOBA out there in my opinion. However, I will stick to LoL for my more casual party games with friends, but Dota is a great hardcore game.
Dec 15, 2013
Dec 14, 20131 of worst commutation in MMO games ever.
Matchmaking is totally broken, find Russian players to party even if You want play America servers with English preference. -
Dec 13, 2013
Feb 19, 2014Simply irresistible and addictive as hell.
Sep 1, 2013Unforgiving from the get-go, but a landmark in competitive multiplayer design. [Oct 2013, p.68]
Aug 30, 2013A great PvP game that offers some of the most intriguing and nuanced team combat around.

As you may have read on our previous report, a hacker and homebrew developer known as KaKaRoTo is petitioning Sony by releasing a bunch of homebrew titles for the PS3 (as well as other platforms) for free. He calls this the Humble Homebrew Collection and it's certainly a unique way to petition a company. So unique, in fact, that we jumped at the opportunity to sit down with him and have a chat.
What exactly makes such a person "tick"? Read on and you might just find out.
Neowin: So KaKaRoTo, tell us a little bit about yourself.
KaKaRoTo: "I'm Youness Alaoui, I'm a Moroccan and I'm living in Canada. I've been working on open source software for the past 10 years, first with aMSN, then professionally for Collabora where I've touched on many open source projects."
Neowin: How did you end up getting involved in the PS3 "Hacking" scene?
KaKaRoTo: "Well, I never planned/wanted to...but I was browsing some forum and I saw a usb dump of the PS Jailbreak dongle. My curiosity got the best of me and I wondered 'what does all that stuff mean?', so I researched the usb protocol specification and then I saw my N900 phone on my desk and thought 'I bet it would be easy to reproduce that with my phone', so I started tinkering. One thing led to another and PSFreedom was born.
It got a lot of attention, more than I imagined (I was just expecting a "cool, the N900 is awesome" kind of response), Android porting started (by other developers) and eventually, I extracted the payload into PL3. I've always been pro-open source and open development, and seeing how the scene is or was, I thought I could help by trying to create a good foundation for future devs. I was thinking of how Dark Alex left the PSP scene and M33 was never heard of again (correct me if I'm wrong). and I thought if only the PSP scene was 100% open, anyone could have picked it up where he left it."
Read the rest of the review.
This article is brought to you in partnership with Neowin.net

Got something to say? Post a comment-
I didn't know that Kakaroto knew how to hack computers. Here I thought his specialty was shooting Kamehamehas.
KaKaRoTo is one of the biggest names in the PS3 hacking scene. Don't get me wrong, I love it when he shoots off his Kamehameha also
Nice his name means Goku in Japanese I believe. That used to be my barbs name in d2 .
No, Kakaroto is Goku's Saiyan name. Vegeta calls him that because he never recognized his Earth name.
I watch too much DBZ. :P
I watch too much DBZ. :P
Me too. I still watch the occasional episode now and then to remind me of parts.
So this is an article that leads me to another article? If you went trough the, ahem, "trouble" to ask for someone else's article, you might as well copy the full thing.
Not that it bothers me to click, I'm just sayin'...
Neowin and TS are 'buddies'... No need to worry about the copy & paste job.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman John-Michael Liles sufferd an ankle sprain in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Bruins and will not make the trip to Boston for the second game of the home-and-home series.
The 32-year-old Liles is listed as day-to-day.
Liles left Saturday's game in the second period following an awkward collision with winger Daniel Paille. He skated off the ice and headed to the Maple Leafs' dressing room favouring his left leg. He was limping considerably and required assistance from the team trainer as he went for medical attention.
He did not return for the third period.

DThis A Chemical Treatment?is this a chemical treatment that is sort've like a relaxer? i want something that i can use 'continuously' like a good smoothing shampoo that will not alter the natural curl pattern of my hair. (i.e. i want to be able to control when i go from curly to straight!)Reply to this postJul 10, 2010Link to this post
Marilyn H.Gray HairThis is a wonderful product, my hair looks and feels beautiful. However, the treatment leaves gray hair yellow. What can I do to correct the yellowing?Reply to this post
Also, why do you have to wait for 3 days before you are able to wash your hair again?Jun 13, 2010Link to this post-
Laura H.AnswerThe formula appears to have quite a few minerals in the ingredients list including iron which has a yellowish brown color, this is probably what is discoloring your hair. I am guessing the reason you leave it in no washing for a few days is to let the product "set". Use some blue/purple based shampoo, conditioner, or rinse to offset the yellow tones.Jun 28, 2010Link to this post

The more photos to judge, the more one waxes nostagically for HOCKEY action.
Getting antsy (raspberry-crazy antsy?) for the games to begin ;-)

"A fantastic GPS"
5.0 starson by FlamminoPros: Great POI's, easy to use voice control, IQ routes save hours on long trips.
Cons: The reception for traffic is a little spotty, and for some reason it has a bunch of buildings that are clearly not hospitals listed as hospitals in Brooklyn.
Summary: Overall this is an amazing unit- I travel from NJ to MD and southern VA pretty often and this managed to shave an hour off the time from the route recommended by google maps. I wanted to stop at a beach and it somehow directed me to the only abandoned spot on a long stretch of privately-owned beachfront.
The only downside I've run into so far besides the somewhat unreliable traffic signal (not really the fault of the unit) is the fact that it has a bunch of buildings that are not hospitals listed as hospitals in brooklyn. That made an already very stressful time even worse.
