Big Bear has emerged as a top "go to" for four-season fun - skiing in the winter, swimming in the summer, and great natural scenery all year long. And as the area becomes more popular, Big Bear vacation deals become harder and harder to find. Enjoying a Big Bear vacation on the cheap is still very doable, however. Here's a handy guide to getting away to Big Bear without your budget getting away from you.
Cheap Big Bear Attractions
Like many nature-centric destinations, Big Bear has a slew of cheap, and even free, attractions to explore. When in doubt, look up Big Bear vacation deals for the particular attraction you're visiting - there may be special discounts available. In the meantime, here are some suggestions for how to make the most of Big Bear without spending much money (if any).
- Fish on Big Bear Lake
- At Moonridge Animal Park, you can get into the Big Bear Alpine Zoo for just $9
- Admission to the Big Bear Historical Museum is a meager $3
- Get to know the animals of the Big Bear Discovery Center for free
- Ride down the Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain for $5
- Go for a 13-mile hike along the Grout Bay Bike Trail
- For $14, you can play laser tag, drive some bumper cars, and ride the roller coaster at the Big Bear Funplex
- Kayak rentals aren't hard to come by - you can go kayaking for an hour for just $20
- Avoid the Big Bear Mountain Ski Resort on holidays and high-traffic weekends for cheaper left tickets
Cheap Big Bear Restaurants
Many Big Bear restaurants have an affordable menu. Some of the best options include:
- The Grizly Manor is a top-rated breakfast spot where just about everything on the menu is under $6
- Get a quick, delicious, and cheap bite to eat at Amangela's Sandwich and Bagel House
- The Sweet Basil Bistro offers up an intimate, even romantic vibe, and yummy Italian food, with plenty of entrees $10 and under
One of the best parts of booking a Big Bear cabin rental over a hotel is the full kitchen! While you'll want to take advantage of Big Bear's restaurants, some nights you just want to dine in. It's way more affordable that way. Whether you're traveling with your sweetie, or your whole family, it's nice to have a big dining room (or even patio) and a homecooked meal to bond over. And many Big Bear accommodations offer up such fancy, gourmet kitchens, that you may actually enjoy cooking.
Deals on Big Bear Vacation Rentals
Booking through a Big Bear resort or hotel chain is a great way to waste money. Instead, book a private cabin or home when you visit. Not only do Big Bear cabins offer up a lot more value - they tend to be more spacious and offer more amenities than hotels, but cost the same or less to stay in - but they offer up a much more memorable experience. For families and big groups, it's a no brainer to choose a Big Bear vacation rental over a hotel. Why book a string of hotel rooms, limited in size and amenities, when you can book a roomy, luxurious cabin or mountain home - often for less money? You can browse last minute offers, cancellation specials, and great vacation deals on Big Bear lodging on Vacation Rentals.com.

Have you tried this pralines yet? What are your favourite sweets?
Song of the day: Chumbawamba - Tubthumbing
Hello Biba!
The lipgloss looks very pretty! And I want one praliné! (I loooveeee pralinés x) I never tried these Lindt ones)
This gloss is quite sheer on me as well. :(
OMG those pralines look amazing.
Wow, I don't know Fioretto at all! I might buy this for my mum she love those kind of things. :D Lindt is definitely making AWESOME milk chocolate.
I rarely eat sweets but here we have Cemoi and they make "Amandinas". Do you know these? This is an almond coated with milk chocolate and coated with pure cacao. It's delicious and ... pretty addictive actually. :D
I like it when they're sheer but I understand why you were disappointed by the gloss. Are those NYX lipglosses comfortable?
@ Ana Rita: Thanks for stopping by! I'll send you one praline ;)
@ Gina: Yeah, too bad about this glos... :S
Oh, they are amazing! Yummy! :D
@ jellynat: Your mom should definitely try these.
You're so lucky, I could eat sweets every day...
These almond you're describing sound delicious too! I love nuts covered with chocolate. Maybe we should do sweets swap... :D
Their Mega Shine glosses are great, much better than Round ones.
This gloss is so pretty =)
I love it ;)
I love chocolate! Yummy :D
Even though it's sheer it looks pretty anyway!ReplyDelete

That's the only way to describe the reaction that future historians will have when they look back and study the utter perversion that is our global financial system.
We live in a time when a tiny handful of people have their fingers on a button that can conjure trillions of dollars, euro, yen, and renminbi out of thin air. In the United States, it comes down to one man. Just one.
With a single decision, he controls the lever that dominates the entire economy. When you control the money, you control everything– financial markets, consumer prices, risk perceptions, investment habits, savings rates, hiring decisions, pay raises, sovereign debt, housing starts, etc. One man.
This irrational, arrogant system presupposes by design that a central banker is smarter than everyone else; that markets are incapable of determining appropriate risk and value; that he is more effective at allocating our time, capital, and labor than we are.
Future historians will probably also be dumbfounded when they see how long people allowed worthless, unbacked fiat paper to pass as money. It's extraordinary that most people today happily accept a digital abstraction of paper currency controlled by a single individual as 'valuable'.
It was more than 5,000 years ago that primitive commodity money was used in Mesopotamia, and it's been over 3,000 years since metal coins began circulating. For more than 99.2% of human civilization, money actually meant something… right up until 1971 when Richard Nixon ended any remaining link between the dollar and gold.
Ever since, the US government has refused to acknowledge precious metals as money… yet if the Treasury's financial statements are to be believed, Uncle Sam is still holding 261,498,900 troy ounces of gold. Let's dismiss the tungsten possibilities for now and presume that it's real gold. At today's prices, the value would be about $437 billion.

This bilingual blog - 'आन्याची फाटकी पासोडी' in Marathi- is largely a celebration of visual and/or comic ...तुकाराम: "ढेकणासी बाज गड,उतरचढ केवढी" (Tukaram: For a bedbug a bed is like a castle. so much climbing up and down!)... George Santayana: " Everything in nature is lyrical in its ideal essence, tragic in its fate, and comic in its existence"...William Hazlitt: "Pictures are scattered like stray gifts through the world; and while they remain, earth has yet a little gilding."
G C Lichtenberg: "It is as if our languages were confounded: when we want a thought, they bring us a word; when we ask for a word, they give us a dash; and when we expect a dash, there comes a piece of bawdy."
W H Auden: "But in my arms till break of day / Let the living creature lie. / Mortal, guilty, but to me/ The entirely beautiful."
Will Self: "To attempt to write seriously is always, I feel, to fail – the disjunction between my beautifully sonorous, accurate and painfully affecting mental content, and the leaden, halting sentences on the page always seems a dreadful falling short. It is this failure – a ceaseless threnody keening through the writing mind – that dominates my working life, just as an overweening sense of not having loved with enough depth or recklessness or tenderness dominates my personal one."
John Gray: "Unlike Schopenhauer, who lamented the human lot, Leopardi believed that the best response to life is laughter. What fascinated Schopenhauer, along with many later writers, was Leopardi's insistence that illusion is necessary to human happiness."
Art Spiegelman: "You know words in a way are hitting you on the left side of your brain, music and visual arts hit on the right side of the brain, so the idea is to pummel you, to send you from left brain to right brain and back until you're as unbalanced as I am."

How would Shivaji Raje Bhosle react to this?
I have not seen it. But I have a fair idea what it is about.
For Asian Age (April 13 2009), Dippy Vankani reported:
"The anti-corruption unit of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) says that it is the Maharashtrians, who are sub-letting the maximum number of flats that they get in Central government colonies in Mumbai. This is because these people have another home in Mumbai, but still take a government flat for the extra income from rent..."
I wonder if the sequel of MSRBB will rationalize this. It may.

|Hello, everyone
I'm wondering what the rule of thumb is for receiving cash from a refinance? I was told that my loan funded on Thursday, September 14th, but I'm getting the round-around as to when the proceeds will be disbursed to me. They are not paying off the old mortgage company until Sept 30th (that sucks, even though the interest is not calculated daily because it's an FHA loan, but it leaves too much to go wrong).
I gave them information to have my funds wired to my bank, but I haven't gotten them yet. Also, how soon can they legally charge me interest on the loan if there has been no payoff and no funds disbursed?
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

|my wife and i just did a refi and we got our money about 10 business days after funding. the checks to our CC companies were in our hand the day of closing, but the cash to finish out a couple other things took the 10 BUSINESS days.
you may see it this week, but most likely it will be next week.

Next Up at the Yale Rep: Stones in His Pockets
The next Yale Repertory Theater show, beginning previews Thursday, January 25 and having its opening night on January 31, is Stones in His Pockets. The show plays through Feb. 16. (These are the correct dates, changed from an earlier version of this article.)
Marie Jones' script offers some added balance to an already diverse Rep season. So far this season there's been an East Coast premiere comedy (American Night: The Ballad of Juan Jose), a world premiere tragicomic history play (David Adjmi' s Marie Antoinette) and a world premiere of a dramatization of a real-life literary friendship presented as a compilation of correspondence (Sarah Ruhl's Letters to Elizabeth).
Stones in His Pockets adds balance in that it's not any kind of premiere; it's an established hit from the late 1990s which began as a fringe festival piece in Europe, then played in London's West End, New York's Off Broadway, on national and international tours and in numerous regional theaters and community theaters. The piece is a known quantity, though it's been several years since the period of its peak popularity. It still gets regularly revived around the country: There was one at Pace University's Hudson Stage theater in November, for instance. Utah Shakespeare Company presented it earlier in 2012, with the same cast that had performed it at the same theater in 2005. Boston's Lyric Stage Company will have its own production up just a month after Yale's.
Another distinction: its style of comedy its sharply at odds with the other shows of the Rep sched thus far this season. American Night was a political satire. Marie Antoinette was another kind of political satire. Letters to Elizabeth, in its lighter moments, was an intellectual satire. Stones in His Pockets, despite its title referring to a suicide attempt, is a frenetic farce about the culture clash that occurs when a small Irish village its beset by smarmy Hollywood filmmakers. The comedy quotient grows exponentially by having all the dozen or so roles in the play performed by a hardy cast of two men.
Stones in His Pockets will be directed by Evan Yionoulis (who's done a lot of heavy drama at the Rep, but also some comedy, for example the rousing update of Carlo Gozzi's The King Stag in 2004). The cast consists of Fred Arsenault (who's been in the Blue Man Group Off Broadway and in many classic comedies at regional theaters around the country; he also appeared in the Rep's production of Marie Antoinette) and Euan Morton (who played Boy George in the Broadway musical Taboo and has basically done a lot of cool musicals). The show's designers are all students at the Yale School of Drama—it's customary for those in the design programs to get a crack at a Rep show while they're still students, and their usually ranks right up their with the professionals the theater otherwise enlists.
You can safely expect some wonderful creative touches in the designs, but at its base Stones in His Pockets is an actors' play, and you can be sure that Evan Yionoulis and the Yale Rep realize that.Copyright © 2014, Daily Press

Markers are mixtures of many different dyes that can be separated using water and filter paper. Chromatography is a lab technique used to separate mixtures - when you use markers, the results are beautiful! We especially liked the black marker - it showed the best separation and revealed at least 5 different colored dyes. Before I became a science teacher, I was a biochemist at a pharmaceutical company. I told my students how I used to use thin layer chromatography to separate protein mixtures. Even though we were using markers - they were still so excited about using a technique that scientists really use in labs! I love their enthusiasm!

Access "Majority of resellers now offer managed services"
This article is part of the September 2013 issue of MicroScope: September 2013
The movement by the channel towards the managed services model is well under way with more than three quarters offering some option to customers and getting healthy doses of revenues from taking that approach to delivering ICT applications and support. The latest Channel IT Priorities 2013 research from TechTarget gives a clear indication of the extent to which partners across the UK and Europe are adopting a managed services model with 79% revealing they offer something that fits the description. More than half the revenues for the channel are now coming from a mix of consultancy and services with product sales, for so long the mainstay for many resellers, only accounting for 28%. The channel has been in transition over the last couple of years with interest in managed services increasing as customers start to adopt the cloud and look for different ways to get applications, services and support delivered. The TechTarget numbers indicate that in a flat yes or no question around offering managed services only 21% are now left in the market doing nothing with... Access >>>

I just picked up one of these. There are two more.
Are these OK for aquarium CO2 use? I know I will want to replace the output gauge and attach a 320 fitting. I've been looking for a new or newish dual stage regulator to replace a leaky Classic Cornelius for a while and ebay seems to be lean lately.

Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel, "Beyond Pluto," is sprawling science fiction adventure classic by John S. Campbell. Whisked away to another world! David Lawrence and his companions set out to find an ancient lost city hidden in the wilds of southern Egypt. After days of trekking through the wildest country imaginable, they discovered a fantastic, miles-long ridge of unbelievable proportions. But what lay beyond that mammoth blockade of earth and stone was far more than just the ruins of an ancient city. What they discovered was a futuristic civilization so advanced that travel between the stars was commonplace. And before they knew it, Lawrence and his fellow explorers found themselves catapulted through the deepest reaches of outer space and dropped into the middle of a massive interplanetary war! This memorable science fiction classic is a must-read, combining the best of steamy deep-jungle adventure and the nail-biting thrills of interstellar combat. The second novel, "Artery of fire" is a tense science thriller by Thomas N. Scortia. It was potentially life-giving energy from a world of perpetual cold. It was, quite simply, the most phenomenal engineering feat ever accom-plished by man. It was called the "Artery." It piped power from distant Pluto all the way to an impoverished Earth, and success of the Artery project was life itself to its creator, Norman Bayerd. However, now the same politicians and scien-tists who had opposed him all along were there to bedevil him yet again. But even worse than that was the sabotage that threw off the Artery's beam…

Summary: This is Part 3 and the final installment of a series on the origins of civilian satellite imaging programs. Part 3 now provides an overview of the work of non governmental organizations (NGO's) that attempt to reveal the nature of human suffering, both from man-made disasters and crimes perpetrated by human rights violators. Part 1 discussed was an overview and history of these systems while Part 2 discussed the payload and applications of each imaging satellite especially the constellations of Landsat, DigitalGlobe, Spot and GeoEye.
In the same way as there are several organizations interested in providing and accessing relevant accurate satellite based information there are several key human rights focused organizations pertaining to the abuses of human rights occurring in many 'hot' and 'cold' conflicts across the globe. These Human Rights organizations are led by the work of UNITAR, (United Nations Institute for Training and Research), with considerable experience in use of satellite imagery as an information source during both conflict situations and during natural disasters. UNITAR's mission is to deliver innovative training and to equip its sister UN agencies and various Member States with applied research on knowledge systems. Since inception in 1965 UNITAR has built sustainable partnerships acquiring unique expertise and accumulating experience and knowledge to fulfill this mandate. UNOSAT is the Operational Satellite Applications Program of UNITAR dedicated entirely to researching and applying solutions in Geospatial Information Systems (GIS), navigation and geopositioning. UNOSAT has had twelve years of this successful program, launched in 2000 as an initial project, which developed into a mature UN service with global outreach supported by a network of partners worldwide. UNOSAT, currently led by Einar Bjorgo, a contributor to this volume, has provided over 1000 maps and analyses, downloads with UNOSAT tasked in over 200 emergencies and conflicts. UNOSAT has covered all types of disasters: natural and man-made, small and large, (on average some 35 events each year), from Ecuador and the Pakistan floods of 2010, to the Haiti Earthquake and South Ossetia conflict in Georgia, providing training and capacity development to Member States, UN agencies, NGOs, and other international organizations. A Space Charter provides free satellite imagery to authorized users and the UN during major natural and technological disasters. Approximately 1/3 of satellite imagery used by UNOSAT is provided through the Space Charter, with other sources, commercial, free, scientific, and the US Dept State. However, not all of the imagery is to the same resolution level as that provided by satellites already discussed such as Ikonos, and Quickbird etc. and the majority of applications use Landsat data.

If we are guilty of these charges and in turn need to be punished then integrity needs to be applied across the board.
We should be punished either within the existing punishment laid down in the rule books or as some fans say sent to the third division without fear of further punishment.
However often we hear that sporting integrity must be at the forefront of everything, what about plain old integrity, where do the other chairman sit with us being punished properly and being banished to the third, surely anyone with integrity would agree that the punishment fits the crime and is applied accordingly and maintains integrity. No not in the instance they want us punished but also want to keep us for our revenue, does that show real integrity no it doesn't, so the next time some one spouts about integrity ask them where the integrity is in punishing a club but keeping them because you need their money.
They should at least have a bit of integrity and come out and say it, we really want to get rid of you but can't because we need you and the money you bring.
Now that would show some real honest integrity.

world oceans day
World Oceans Day
In 2008, the United Nations passed a resolution stating that from 2009 World Oceans Day would be on June the 8th every year. Its main objective is to raise awareness of the importance of water and oceans and the way they affect many things such as global warming, the world's economy and human health.

• 14 March 2014
They organise events to encourage people to make little changes that could save our waters and also for people to learn about the world's oceans and how it effects our everyday life.
People from all over the world can get involved by either donating to the organisation or by planning or going to events. Last year, over 600 events were held all over the planet to celebrate
World Oceans Day
. The number is expected to reach over 1000 this year.
Due to these events many more people are now involved with the plan to save our Oceans and all make little or big promises to show that they are helping. All it takes to make a promise is to take a photo with a sign stating your promise, and then uploading that photo onto the Internet and tag World Oceans Day.
Because of all these promises online that spread the word about this important day, the chat on social networks has increased by over 80% in the last year. World Oceans day has around 15 partners, sponsors and donors including
One world-One ocean
World Ocean Network
, this help is the reason that World Oceans day grows bigger and bigger every year.
Despite the fact that it was officially declared in 2008 by the UN, World Oceans Day was first mentioned in 1992 by the Canadian government at the earth summit in Rio, and since 2002 World Ocean Network and The Ocean project have tried their best to promote this important day by planning events with different places such as zoos, aquariums, schools and many others.
World Oceans Day is to teach people that the oceans are something we cannot live without. The oceans do a lot of things that may not seem that important but are necessary just for us to survive, water regulates the climate and the weather, it provides most of the oxygen we breathe and has many other environmental, social and economic benefits.
According to the World Oceans day main organisers "the oceans are essential to food, security and the health and survival of all life". So look after our environment and it will look after you!

In New Mexico, blue corn atole is finely ground blue cornmeal toasted for cooking, and is consumed as a grainy porridge-style drink served warm, usually sweetened with sugar and/or thinned with milk. It is usually served at breakfast like cream of wheat or oatmeal. It is said that elders would drink atole because it gave them energy and if a mother is nursing it gives her more milk.

Exclusive Golf Demand Model
Golfers and Rounds Played - Anywhere in the U.S.!
NGF has estimated the number of golfers, best customers and rounds played for all U.S. geographies including cities, counties, ZIP codes and even neighborhoods. We've done this using a statistical model that takes into account known golf participation, golf facility supply, rounds played, demographics and other factors.
There Are Three Ways to Access NGF's Golf Demand Model Data
- Decision Support System Workbooks
- Custom Reports
- NGF GolFacts
Decision Support System Workbooks
These are Excel workbooks at the MSA level (MSA means "metropolitan statistical area." There are 366 MSAs which are larger cities and exclude rural areas.)
Each workbook contains five worksheets containing data for each MSA (over 100 variables in total):
- Demographics
- Golf Demand
- Golf Supply
- Golf Demand and Supply Ratios
- Golf Retail Supply
Demographics - Basic demographics of overall (not golfer) population, including number of people, age, income, etc. Also includes growth trends.
Golf Demand - Number of golfing households, number of individual golfers, participation rate, rounds demanded. Also includes rankings and indices for golfers and rounds enabling quick comparisons between markets.
Golf Supply - Complete analysis of golf supply from NGF's golf facility database. Number of golf courses by type and price point, number of courses built in the last 10 years, number of courses under construction, and more.
Golf Demand and Supply Ratios - Ratios of Golf Demand and Golf Supply described above. For example, the number of golfing households per 18-hole equivalent. Ratios provide critical data regarding the interaction of supply and demand in every market.
Golf Retail Supply - The number of stand-alone golf specialty stores, square footage and retail/demand ratios.

Custom Reports
If you don't need all of the data contained in the Decision Support System, call us with your custom data needs. Examples:
- All demand data for northern California.
- Supply and demand data for 15 counties in Texas.
- Number of golfing households for all 366 MSAs.
GolFacts Market Data Services
GolFacts was designed for use by golf market researchers, appraisers, brokers, golf facility developers and other knowledgeable users. Filled with essential golf market data, the report can significantly reduce the time required to conduct various due diligence efforts. GolFacts presents an initial overview of the basic characteristics of a specified golf market area. This "first look" is intended to help our golf-knowledgeable clients identify relevant parameters about the market, especially those pertaining to the local golf facility supply and the population that is available to support it. The report also offers comparisons to the state and nation as a whole.
GolFacts provides a cost-effective foundation for conducting more advanced studies. For the GolFacts Report, you would provide a location (street address, crossroads, center of town, or zip code) from which we will generate market data such as estimated number of golfing households, average rounds demanded per household, actual number of golf facilities and a ratio of golf facilities to households available to support them. Because this product presents a snapshot of the existing and projected golf demand/supply equation, it is especially relevant to individuals or companies that are in the business of buying or selling golf courses.
The GolFacts report can be purchased with up to three markets per location, based on mileage rings, drive time areas, county, MSA, or state.
A GolFacts Report includes:
- Proprietary NGF golf supply and demand indices for both golfers and rounds played
- Expansive population demographics, including current population estimates with five-year projections
- Estimates of the number of golfing households and rounds played
- Rankings of subject on the measures of golf participation rates, number of golfing households, predicted demand, and number of existing golf facilities by type

In re Irwin, Bky. No. 10-14407, 2011 BL 236759 (Bankr. E.D. Pa. Sept. 15, 2011) The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania granted a receiver's motion seeking a determination that the automatic stay of 11 U.S.C. § 362 did not apply to her filing claims against a debtor's immediate family, as non-debtor defendants, to recover property which originated from a Ponzi scheme orchestrated by the debtor's client. At the same time, the bankruptcy court denied the motion to the extent that it sought relief from the stay to file claims against the debtor individually and against property held jointly with his wife, holding that the automatic stay applied to these claims and the receiver had failed to establish "cause" under 11 U.S.C. § 362(d) to lift the stay.

Founded in 1996, Island ECN was an electronic marketplace that facilitated execution of Nasdaq and listed stock limit orders.Prior to Advent's investment, the company was a subsidiary of Datek Online, a leading Internet-based retail brokerage. Concurrent with the December 2000 recapitalization of Datek, Island was spun out as an independent company, with the same investor base and board as Datek. At the time, Island was the second-largest ECN, executing approximately 200 million shares of Nasdaq retail order flow per day on behalf of approximately 300 broker-dealer customers.The company grew significantly in 2001 and 2002, with average daily order flow increasing to over 500 million shares per day. Island's share of Nasdaq trading volume increased from 8% to over 12%, elevating it to the No. 1 position in the market. The company also gained significant penetration in the listed market, including over 30% market share of trading in QQQ, the most liquid security in the world.In September 2002, Island merged with Nasdaq-listed Instinet, the No. 2 ECN, in a transaction valued at approximately $500 million. The combined company executed close to 25% of average daily Nasdaq trading volume at the time of the merger.

The Northern Star 4 February 2013
Richmond MP Justine Elliot says she has relinquished her role as Parliamentary Secretary for Trade as it conflicted with her fight to stop coal seam gas mining on the North Coast.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced that Ms Elliot was stepping down from the position on Saturday during the press conference in which she also announced that Attorney-General Nicola Roxon and Leader of The Government in the Senate Chris Evans would not contest the next election.
"I'll always stand up for locals on the issues that are important to us, like calling for a moratorium on CSG mining in our region," she said.
"In contrast, all the National Party MPs and candidates on the North Coast support harmful CSG mining in our area.
"I call on the National Party state MPs to tell the O'Farrell government that our community demands a moratorium on CSG.

I was due to write the review of the Beth vs Layla match at No Way Out last week, but due to other priorities, I had to leave it to Lee. It's probably just as well that I've had a week to think about it, because for what it's worth, I hated the match. Well, maybe "hated" is too strong a word, but I really didn't like the comedy of Layla stealing Beth's headband and dancing with it. The finish of Beth losing again also irritated me a bit, mostly because it's patently clear that WWE have absolutely nothing in mind for Layla, and with Beth losing again, it securely slots her below Layla on the pecking order and kills another level of anticipation (whatever there is left of it anyway) for the Beth Phoenix vs Kharma feud that we've been waiting/hoping for ever since Kharma signed up with the company.
Let's make it clear here – my major downer on the Divas division at the minute is not the usual "wrestlers vs models" debate (I've learned for the most part to turn off my brain and find a way to enjoy the Divas for what they are rather than what they aren't)… no… my big problem is the fact that at the minute, the future of the Divas division is just deathly dull.
There are precisely two women who can say that they've had a productive 2012 in WWE, and neither of them has seen that productivity come as a wrestler. I'm talking about Eve Torres and AJ here, who have both found their calling as players in the ongoing soap opera escapades of their male colleagues. Torres, (who I've always liked but will admit has struggled to connect with the audience as a babyface,) embraced her expanded role as the heartless "ho" who broke Zack Ryder's heart over… and over… and over again, was humiliated by John Cena and eventually became the spec-wearing evil executive administrator for John Laurinatis. It works for her, and she's turned what was decried by many as a horrible (and degrading) heel turn into a pretty decent gig. Where Eve goes now that the Laurinatis administration is done is anybody's guess. AJ's 2012 has been a case of taking what you've been given and running with it. Daniel Bryan had already had onscreen "romances" with The Bellas and Gail Kim (all forgettable), and it would be easy to have predicted AJ as another unnecessary bit of baggage on the Bryan act – but she's embraced her opportunity with both hands and shown a rare streak of confidence in delivering a promo and a believability in her acting that makes her disconcerting actions over the last few weeks must-see TV. Is AJ unhinged? Or is she someone who has simply realised that she has a power to manipulate men and is using it to achieve her goals? I don't yet know where this is going, but wherever it is headed, I want to see it… but it's *not* getting AJ any more involved in the Divas division.
So what are we left with? Kharma is the one big Ace they've got to play… but they've got nobody to play it *with*. Layla came back with a fun return, but she was a last minute swerve return (in place of Kharma, funnily enough) and it's pretty clear that they've got nothing for her at the minute. Natalya is deader than disco and busy staring at the lights for literally everybody on the C shows. Alicia Fox is barely acknowledged (and really no good in the ring). Kaitlyn has not progressed since her NXT win. Rosa Mendes thankfully doesn't wrestle any more. Neither, seemingly does Aksana… or Naomi (who would be a welcome breath of fresh air as a wrestler, but is busy dancing with Brodus Clay.) Tamina Snuka has some potential, but is cold. I really like Maxine, but I wonder whether they'll find a productive role for her outside of NXT in the deep waters of Raw/Smackdown.
And then there's Kelly Kelly. Regardless of what you think of her as a performer, she's been pegged as WWE's golden girl for several years… and now she's off exploring non WWE opportunities with modelling agencies. They're calling it a temporary thing, but I know there are certainly those in the company who believe she won't be back. If Kelly leaves, she's only the latest in a growing group of women who are choosing to walk away from WWE for other gigs. The Bellas (who were as recently as six months ago being reported as Vince McMahon's favourite female act in the company) chose not to re-sign with WWE. Looking back a little farther, you've got Gail Kim choosing to leave to go back to TNA. I'd say it's a byproduct of putting your body on the line every week and feeling unappreciated – but suddenly other life options are seeming more and more appealing to these women. Walking away rather than being released or fired seems to be a relatively recent phenomenon, but it's a growing one.
So if spots are opening up due to the likes of Kelly and The Bellas leaving and so many main roster WWE Divas being mishandled or forgotten, what hope is there? Believe it or not, I can see a flicker of hope, and that flicker is based in Florida – and might just be the first indication that things may be a little different in the post Vince era. For what it's worth, we know that Triple H has been overseeing developmental for some time, and it's interesting to compare some of his hiring practices to that of his father-in-law (through John Laurinatis). The stories of Kelly and Alicia being hired through a swimsuit catalogue are the stuff of legend, and it's well acknowledged that WWE's hiring plan for Divas has been for the most part to hire good looking women and try to teach them how to wrestle. I can't help but conclude that this helps contribute to the turnover of talent. The Bellas, Maryse, Kelly, even going back to Torrie and Stacy… they were models/dancers first and wrestlers second. There's still at least some of that going on, but there's an interesting core of actual honest-to-goodness female wrestlers building up in developmental now. People who have wrestling in their blood and are (at least in my opinion) less likely to dump WWE at the first sniff of non-WWE fame. You've got Paige (aka Saraya-Jade Bevis, formerly Britani Knight), who is in my opinion the equal (and in many cases the better) of anybody on the main roster. A second generation wrestler from a wrestling family – this is all Paige ever wanted to do. Alongside her you've got Sofia Cortez (aka Ivelisse Velez from Tough Enough's last season), who prior to getting her shot on Tough Enough had worked on midwest indies for quite some time as Juliet the Huntress. You've got Raquel Diaz – a third generation Guerrero, and the daughter of Eddie & Vickie – she may not have the indy experience of Paige and Sofia, and she's a step behind those two as a wrestler at this point, but with the Guerrero blood in her veins, there's at least a very good chance that Raquel will become a massive positive to the WWE family in the years to come. Just recently we've had the addition of the former Buggy Nova – currently at least going under her own name of Natalie. She's not super experienced (she's been around the West Coast scene since 2009) but she's another person who got into the wrestling business because she wanted to be involved in wrestling… not as a way to secure modeling contracts or endorsements. We know that Kharma has also been referred to on occasions as a "Triple H project" too, so I can't help but notice how Triple H is apparently hiring people with wrestling backgrounds rather than browsing the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. There's a similar push in the male ranks too, with indy stars like the Antonio Cesaro (Claudio Castagnoli), Kassius Ohno (Chris Hero), Dean Ambrose (John Moxley) and more becoming developmental standouts ahead of your generic Randy Orton clones. Some of them may fly – some may not, but that's what developmental is all about and it seems like Hunter is at least backing the smart money… in which case, there's a LOT of eligible female talents out there who might just want to consider finding a way to get themselves a try-out next time WWE are in town. No promises, but doors may just be ajar that used to be firmly closed.
It doesn't help the question of what the heck they're going to do with Kharma this Summer – and a lot can happen between developmental and the main roster for some of these prospects, but at least I'm finding at least something positive to say about the future of the Divas, which when I started this article I wasn't sure I was going to find.
Fingers crossed.

Boom! Sony's NGP (tentative) handheld is a PS3 in your pocket
In 2004, Sony unleashed the PlayStation Portable, a handheld that was supposed to be the titan of portable gaming — the end to Nintendo's successful GameBoy Advance reign. It was supposed to trounce the then new Nintendo DS and grind it into the ground with its PS2-caliber graphics and multimedia functions. It didn't.
In the wee early hours of the morning, Sony announced what had been rumored for months: the PSP2, code-named NGP (tentative title for the handheld and short for Next Generation Portable). So what are you waiting for? Follow the link for the 411 on Sony's new NGP.
Release Date, Price, Colors and Size
It will be released this holiday season, but no pricing has been announced yet. Sony showed off a black and white model of the NGP — more colors aren't really Sony's thing, so that's probably all we'll get. Kotaku says the NGP is larger than the PSP-3000 and Japanonphile blog, Danny Choo, reports the dimensions as "182.0 x 18.6 x 83.5mm (width x height x depth)." The NGP does sound bulkier, so no skinny jeans for you anymore. Well, the PSP was never really all that easily pocketable anyway.
Dual Micro Analog Sticks and Touchpads
Two micro analog sticks, beyotches. One below the D-Pad and one below the action buttons. The smaller analog sticks should feel more like DualShock analogs. Finally, FPS shooters will be done right!
Dual touchpads too. The front screen is a touchscreen and the back has a touch sensitive touchpad. In a demo for Uncharted, the touchpad was used to climb a vine.
OLED Screen and High Resolution
Two for two. The leaks were right on this one, too. The NGP has a 5-inch 960 x 544 resolution OLED screen. That's nearly as good as the iPhone 4's 960 x 640 resolution screen! The OLED screen is going to have great viewing angles, for sure.
Big Name Games
Lots of first-party Sony titles such as Little Big Planet, Resistance, Uncharted, Killzone and Hot Shots Golf were shown in a demo reel. Uncharted looked nearly as good as its big brother on the PlayStation 3. Looks like those rumors of the NGP being as powerful as a PS3 weren't too far off either.
Of course first party games aren't enough unless you're Nintendo. Big third-party franchises such as Lost Planet, Monster Hunter, Yakuza, Call of Duty and Metal Gear Solid were also thrown around.
Cameras: Snap Snap.
The NGP has a camera on the front and a camera on the back. Sony didn't elaborate on how many megapixels the cams would have. We hope it's at least 5-megapixels on the back and VGA on the front — anything less really wouldn't do the trick.
Wireless Connectivity
What else is there to say? The rumors were right on this one, too. The NGP will have Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n), Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and GPS built right in. Location-based apps and games will take advantage of the 3G and GPS to show what games are being played, purchased, etc. in any particular area.
3G connectivity wil be sold as separate unit.
Six-Axis Motion Sensors
The NGP joins the motion-control club with a bunch of sensors for tilt gaming action. How sensitive will the three-axis accelerometer and three-axis gyroscope be? As good as the ones in the PlayStation Move — because they're the same ones.
Want more? There's also a three-axis compass stuffed in the NGP.
Game Cards and Region Lock
UMDs are DEAD. The NGP uses flash cards that look very similar to an SD card. No more spinning discs equals faster game loading times and no more scratched media. Hooray! Big smiles everyone. Cartridges win again and so do physical retailers that sell games. Sony didn't mention how large each game cart would hold. We're guessing more than the 1.8GB that a UMD can, if PS3-quality games are going to be stored.
Digital game downloads will remain in the PlayStation Store.
Sony didn't mention anything about games or content being region locked.
CPU, RAM and Battery Life
Oh yeah! The NGP houses a quad-core ARM Cortex A9 processor (not sure what the clock speed is) and uses an SGX543MP4+ GPU. No details on the amount of RAM, but it looks to be beefy with all the tasks this baby can handle.
Sony says that the NGP's battery will be on par with the current PSP. The battery is sealed in, just like the iPhone. This is because of the touchpad on the back of the NGP. Guess you won't be carrying spare batteries for extra long gaming sessions outdoors.
