Testers are even more discounted than the fancy boxed versions and are great if you don't have a need for the fancy packaging... Read more Testers are 100% authentic, fresh and completely full just like the original fragrance, however they are meant for the counter in a department store. Testers often come in a plain white box but sometimes they do not have a cap or box.The savings on the packaging means you save even more!

Why would a Co. ever think to discontinue this product is stupid and a major loss. There has been no other and I repeat "NO" cologne out there that out does this one. Not even the new Channel Bleu has anything on this. This so far has been the best one ever made. The scent draws people of all walks to it's scent. Is it a chick grabber, "You[*] bectha!" It really gets peoples attention. It's sexy, inviting, innocent, and makes you feel worth the value. It just gives you that feeling of pure comfort and confidence. I have used it since the 70's and buy it always!!! Never left home without it on and always daily I get and got compliments on how I smell wearing it. It attracts women like flies. Even men compliement me and say, I look good but to afraid to say, it was my scent that drew them to me. I am heterosexual, I don't even dress well and I still get that second look. BUY IT!

this is probably my all time favourite aftershave, I haven't used it for several years as it has been difficult to source. I recently saw it in a department store revamped in a new bottle and tried it, though not as potent as the original the overall essence is there. I purchased from fragrance x as it was half the price being asked by the department. smooth transaction received within days great service

Since this appears to happen with a number of the updates, it may be worth clearing the SoftwareDistribution folder...
This could be due to corruption in the SoftwareDistribution folder - the problem with that the conventional cure can lead to problems later on, if not handled properly, and you will lose your Update history (but the updates will still be installed, and viewable in the Installed Updates listing).
Open an Elevated Command Prompt
Run the following commands
REN C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution SDOLD
wait 15 minutes, and reboot
then wait 10 minutes, and open Windows Updates, and run a Check for Updates.
Install only the oldest update found - and reboot once installed
then go back to Windows updates and install the others.

CSN RN Fall 2012 - page 28
Hi Everyone! I am new to the site and will be applying to CSN's RN program in March. I wanted to start a thread and see who will be applying with me and how things are coming along for everyone. :) I have all pre-reqs completed... Read More
- 0Aug 1, '12 by Twinkle toezI will be calling in the am. I never thought to question what they were charging me. Thanks for the info.
- 0Aug 1, '12 by Kebby1016I went to the bookstore today and they refunded me the difference in what I paid and the cost of the book bundle online. That composite skills book that the salesgirl had mentioned to me apparently is required and it is now available in the bookstore. I guess it wasn't on our text list because it's not really a textbook. It's like a little booklet of checklist sheets of tasks that I'm guessing our clinical instructors will check off as we learn/complete them. It was $5.00. Thank you guys again for giving the pricing info, you saved me over $200. I really appreciate it!
- 2Aug 1, '12 by SunshineDaisyOh, yeah, the skills check list. DO NOT LOSE IT! And bring it to every lab and clinical or you will be docked 3%! Glad the refunded you the difference! I just got my last book for 3rd semester, YAY! I'm ready
- 0Aug 2, '12 by KaylianaWow! I was expecting to pay $900 for books, $726 is much better! I have a question. Do you need CPR, physical, shots, and all that done by August 10th? Or by our one-on-one meeting on the 23rd? I thought the 23rd but just checking. You guys are so helpful thank you!! Also, I noticed on years past they had a facebook page. I was wondering if anyone's interested in creating a facebook page or group for csn rn class of 2014? I think that would be really helpful! Let me know if you guys have facebook or are even interested. I've had a group before in the past for my photography classes and it was VERY helpful. Thanks everyone!!
- 0Aug 2, '12 by SunshineDaisyYou need everything by your one on one meeting, and just the CPR for healthcare providers. As for the FB group, I find them very helpful! I set up the 2013 one and it is so nice to have everyone there! We set up study times, can ask questions about things and stuff. It's nice to have it all in one spot!
- 2Aug 6, '12 by xtnag1Hi everyone! Reminder: August 10, 8am, 2nd Orientation at the K Building. Don't forget to pay your ATI as well. The Cashier accepts credit card for ATI payments.
I went ahead and set up a fb group named CSN Fall 2012-RN 2014
just head on over and join.

text: How I did it: I took her to the vet as soon as I could, after finding her at the park. Vet told me what resources I would need, and how exactly I would accomplish weening her to adulthood. It was hard at first. I was afraid I wasn't doing it right, I was afraid, of her not getting what she needed to survive. She was so tiny and fragile.

Subgroup Analyses Of Pivotal And Open Label Prevention Trials Showed Effectiveness Of ViroPharma's Cinryze® (C1 Esterase Inhibitor [Human]) In Prevention Of Angioedema Attacks In Patients With Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) Poorly Controlled On Anabolic Androgens
EXTON, Pa., May 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ViroPharma Incorporated (Nasdaq: VPHM), an international biopharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing innovative products that address unmet medical needs and rare diseases, today announced results of new data analyses from the randomized, placebo-controlled and open label clinical trials of Cinryze® (C1 esterase inhibitor [human]), the first and only C1 esterase inhibitor therapy approved for routine prevention of angioedema attacks in patients with HAE. Since neither of these clinical trials excluded patients who were on anabolic androgens (AA; attenuated androgens), analyses were conducted to evaluate how the use of AA impacted the outcome of subjects while on Cinryze.
In the randomized, placebo-controlled trial, 36.4 percent of subjects (8 of 22) were using AA for prophylaxis with a mean historical attack rate of 13.88 per 12 weeks. Five of these eight patients discontinued AA use prior to randomization. Among these five, the mean number of attacks over the 12-week placebo period was 15, compared to 6.8 attacks during the Cinryze treatment period; this represents a 54.7 percent decrease in attack rate which is similar to the reduction in attack rate (52 percent) from the overall study population.
In the open label study, 28.8 percent of subjects (42 of 146) were using AA for prophylaxis at screening and 23 of them discontinued AA during the study. The median number of attacks/month in subjects who discontinued AA was 3.00 (1.25, 11; interquartile range, IQR) at study entry which decreased to 0.00 (0.00, 0.31) during an average of 257 days in the study while taking Cinryze. Eight subjects continued on a stable dose of AA during open label treatment. The attack frequency/month of those subjects went from 3.5 (2.75, 4) at study entry to 0.26 (0.06, 0.71) after treatment with open label Cinryze. The other 11 subjects reduced but did not stop using AA; their median monthly attack frequency went from 2 (2, 3) to 0.24 (0, 0.67) at study completion. No drug interaction studies of Cinryze and AA have been conducted.

Insideschools staff
Free summer meals beginning on June 28
All children, ages 18 and under, may receive free breakfast and lunch at many schools, parks and pools beginning on June 28, the day after schools close for summer vacation.
Breakfast will be served from 8 to 9:15 a.m. and lunch from 11 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Children participating in the Learn to Swim program at city pools will get breakfast at the pool. Check the city's Department of Parks and Recreation website for a borough by borough list of all available parks and pool sites. You can also call 311 or text "NYCMeals" to 877-877. A list of sites, including public schools, is also on the Department of Education website.
Famiilies do not need to show any documents or identification to receive a free meal. Meals are also offered to any person who participates in a special education program.
The free meals are provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) through SchoolFood, a part of the New York City Department of Education, from June 28 through Aug. 31.
Insideschools event: Beyond test scores
What matters most in high school? Graduation rates and Regents test scores? College-oriented academics, supportive teachers - or after school activities?
All of these things matter to students but inside information about high schools is hard to find. There is also intense debate about makes for a "good" high school and how this can be measured.
The Center for New York City Affairs and Insideschools.org will unveil Inside Stats, a new high school scorecard designed to provide a well-rounded picture of NYC's high schools using available data. But, are there better ways to measure our schools?
Clara Hemphill, senior editor at Insideschools will moderate a June 28 morning panel discussion by experts on high schools: Beyond Test Scores: Imagining New Ways to Measure NYC's High Schools. The panel will include: Robert Hughes, president, New Visions for Public Schools; Martin Kurzwell, senior executive, director for research, accountability and data, NYC Department of Education and Jacqueline Wayans, Bronx parent and parent information specialist at Insideschools.org.
High school round 2 results & appeals
Eighth and ninth graders who applied to high school last fall but were not matched to any school will learn the results of their new applications Friday, May 4, the Education Department said.
In the first round of admissions, about 10 percent of 8th graders applying for 9th grade got no match, forcing them into a second round. Other students chose to re-apply to new or different schools.
Students who are unhappy with their high school assignment, or whose circumstances have changed since they applied, may appeal their matches. Appeal forms will be available from school guidance counselors beginning May 4 and are due back a week later -- Friday, May 11.
New book by Insideschools staffer
Jacqueline Wayans, assignment editor for Insideschools.org and a co-author of New York City's Best Public School Guides, has a new book out -- this one for children.
If you were bright, talented and adored, would you trade it all in for the chance to be greater?
That is the question posed in Ambrose, a fantasy story of the snake in the Garden of Eden The book is designed to help young people understand that they are born with wonderful talents and abilities - but they must value these qualities or risk losing them.
The book that will appeal to many audiences: from parents who can read it to their pre-schoolers to middle-schoolers who can think – and write about – the questions and quandaries it poses.
Published by Tate Publishing, Ambrose is available on wayanswork.com. You can like it on Facebook, too!
City releases details on juvenile justice plan
The city has released details of its plan to build new juvenile justice facilities, which will allow New York City kids convicted of breaking the law to stay closer to their homes and families, rather than being sent to lockups run by the state.
One of the criticisms of the current system is that city kids don't get credit for the schoolwork they do while serving time in state facilities, since the schools aren't accredited by the Department of Education. Many students find it very hard to re-enter schools upon their return to the city and opening centers locally would offer continuity to their education. The city plans to operate new schools for kids in the city-controlled lockups, starting in September of this year.
Read Abigail Kramer's story about the plan on the new Child Welfare Watch news blog at the Center for New York City Affairs.
Using exams to judge teachers, schools
Sparks flew at the Brooklyn Secondary School for Collaborative Studies on Monday night as the chief academic officer defended the city's heavy reliance on standardized exams to judge schools, principals and teachers.
Deputy Chancellor Shael Polakow-Suransky was under fire all night from the crowd in the packed school auditorium in Carroll Gardens. The two principals on the panel who said they believed the testing regime had damaged education in city schools.
The former head of the Office of Accountability kept his cool and acknowledged that the current state exams did not do a good job at measuring "critical thinking," but he denied that the exams were overly influential and said that better tests were coming. Why, then, has the Bloomberg administration made such a public spectacle of the A through F grading system, which is mostly based on student progress on the exams, if they aren't very good? Polakow-Suransky never answered that question.
You can read more about the event, which was moderated by Insideschools reporter Meredith Kolodner, on GothamSchools and SchoolBook. Watch a video clip of the meeting from the Grassroots Education Movement:
UWS parents take on Harlem Success...again
Some Manhattan parents are scrambling to stop a plan to move 150 Harlem Success Academy 5th-graders into a building on the Upper West Side. Critics fear the plan could make the Success Academy students, most of whom live in Central and East Harlem, eligible to attend Upper West Side middle schools once they reach 6th grade. Others say the move may jeopardize federal magnet programs at two of the small elementary schools in the building.
E-mail alerts about the proposal went out Thursday to many parents of students in District 3, which spans Manhattan's west side from 59th to 122nd streets. The e-mails urged parents to attend a March 15 public hearing and speak out in opposition to the plan.
According to one e-mail, the Harlem Success Academy students are largely from Districts 4 and 5, but the plan would transfer them into District 3 during 5th grade. "Once they are housed in a D3 building, they become eligible for D3 middle schools," read the e-mail. "Our strong D3 middle schools could become an appealing option for these out-of-district families at a time when we are already facing a serious middle school seat crunch."
School starts on September 6 in 2012
The first day of school for students next fall will be Thursday, Sept. 6, according to the Department of Education calendar now online. Classroom teachers begin two days early, on Tuesday, Sept. 4.
Pre-K and kindergarten students begin with shortened school days. The first full day for kindergarten students is Friday, Sept. 7; for pre-K, it is Monday, Sept. 10.
The school year will end with a half-day on Wednesday, June 26.
The calendar lists dates for all school holidays as well as professional development dates for teachers when students will not attend. The 3rd-8th grade math and reading test dates are not including. They come out on a different calendar.
A (partial) list of high school open houses
At the March 3-4 Round 2 high school fair we collected information about open houses and auditions for some schools that still have space. This is an incomplete list. Best to contact the schools' parent coordinators or website to confirm and find out about others.

Advocates say: Protect Early Intervention
Our friends and colleagues at Advocates for Children are putting out a call to action to protect early intervention programs for young children. Early Intervention provides evaluations and services to infants and toddler who have developmental delays or disabilities and their families.
Governor Cuomo's 2012-2013 Executive budget proposal would restructure Early Intervention, linking those services to health insurance coverage. In a statement, Advocates says:"While we support the goal of requiring private health insurance comopanies to contribute to the cost of EI, we are concerned about parts of the proposal."
Among other things, the proposal calls for a representative from an insurance company to be on the team that develops a child's Individualized Family Service Plan. It would also require the child to be evaluated and served by evaluators and service providers within the child's insurance network.
Advocates for Children is calling on concerned parents to call or e-mail their state legislators to express their concerns that these changes would would make it harder to access high-quality EI services.
See the Advocates for Children website for more information. A sample email letter is after the jump.

Azure Virtual Machines FAQ
Updated: September 29, 2014
This article addresses some of the most common questions users have about Azure virtual machines, based on input from the Azure VM Support team, as well as from forums, newsgroups, and comments in other articles. For an overview of virtual machines and links to tutorials that help you create one quickly, see Virtual Machines.
All subscribers can run server software on an Azure virtual machine. Additionally, MSDN subscribers have access to certain Windows client images provided by Azure.
For server software, you can run recent versions of Windows Server, as well as a variety of Linux distributions, and then host various server workloads and services on them. For information about these, see:
For Windows VMs -- Microsoft server software support for Azure Virtual Machines
For Linux VMs -- Linux on Azure-Endorsed Distributions
For Windows client images, certain versions of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 are available to MSDN Azure benefit subscribers and MSDN Dev and Test Pay-As-You-Go subscribers, for use only in development and test activities. For details, including instructions and limitations, see Windows Client images for MSDN subscribers.
Each data disk can be up to 1 TB. The number of data disks you can use varies depending on the size of the virtual machine. For details, see Virtual Machine and Cloud Service Sizes for Azure.
An Azure storage account provides the storage for the operating system disk and any data disks. Each of these disks is a .vhd file stored as a page blob. You're charged for the storage used in the storage account, rather than for available space on the disk. For pricing details, see Storage Pricing Details. For disk details, see About Virtual Machine Disks in Azure
Azure supports fixed, VHD-format virtual hard disks. If you have a VHDX-format disk you'd like to use in Azure, convert it by using Hyper-V Manager or the convert-VHD cmdlet. After you do that, use the Add-AzureVHD cmdlet to upload the VHD to a storage account in Azure so you can use it with virtual machines. The cmdlet will convert a dynamic VHD to a fixed VHD, but won't convert from VHDX to VHD.
For instructions, see one of the following articles:
For Windows, see Creating and Uploading a Virtual Hard Disk that Contains the Windows Server Operating System
For Linux, see Creating and Uploading a Virtual Hard Disk that Contains the Linux Operating System
|If you want to upload a data disk, refer to one of the articles and start with the section about connecting to Azure.
In many ways they're similar to "Generation 1" Hyper-V VMs, but they're not exactly the same. Both types provide virtualized hardware, and the VHD-format virtual hard disks are compatible, which means you can move them between Hyper-V and Azure. Two key differences that sometimes surprise people who are used to Hyper-V are that Azure doesn't provide console access to a virtual machine, and that Azure VMs in most sizes have only 1 virtual network adapter, which means that they also can have only 1 external IP address. (The A8 and A9 sizes use a second network adapter for application communication between instances in limited scenarios.)
|Azure VMs do not support Generation 2 Hyper-V VM features. For information, see Virtual Machine Specifications for Hyper-V.
You can use Azure Virtual Network to extend your existing infrastructure. The approach you'll use is like setting up a branch office. You can provision and manage virtual private networks (VPNs) in Azure as well as securely link these with on-premises IT infrastructure. For more information, see Virtual Network Overview.
|You'll need to specify the network that you want the virtual machine to belong to when you create the virtual machine. This means, for example, that you can't join an existing virtual machine to a virtual network. However, you can work around this by detaching the virtual hard disk (VHD) from the existing virtual machine, and then use it to create a new virtual machine with the networking configuration you want.
To log on to the virtual machine, use Remote Desktop Connection for a Windows VM or a Secure Shell (SSH) for a Linux VM. For instructions, see one of the following:
How to Log on to a Virtual Machine Running Windows Server. A maximum of 2 concurrent connections are supported, unless the server is configured as a Remote Desktop Services session host.
How to Log on to a Virtual Machine Running Linux. By default, SSH allows a maximum of 10 concurrent connections. You can increase this number by editing the configuration file.
|If you're having problems with Remote Desktop or SSH, try installing and using the VMAccess extension to fix the problem.
You can also use Windows PowerShell Remoting to connect to the VM, or create additional endpoints for other resources to connect to the VM. For information, see How to Set Up Endpoints to a Virtual Machine.
If you're familiar with Hyper-V, you might be looking for a tool similar to Virtual Machine Connection. Azure doesn't offer a similar tool because console access to a virtual machine isn't supported.
You shouldn't use the D: drive (Windows) or /dev/sdb1 (Linux). They provide temporary storage only, so you would risk losing data that can't be recovered. A common way this could occur is when the virtual machine moves to a different host. Resizing a virtual machine, updating the host, or a hardware failure on the host are some of the reasons a virtual machine might move.
On a Windows virtual machine, you can change the drive letter by moving the page file and reassigning drive letters, but you'll need to make sure you do the steps in a specific order. For instructions, see "Change the drive letter of the Windows temporary disk" in About Disks and Images in Azure.
The term upgrade generally means moving to a more recent release of your operating system, while staying on the same hardware. For Azure VMs, the process for moving to a more recent release differs for Linux and Windows:
For Linux VMs, use the package management tools and procedures appropriate for the distribution.
For a Windows virtual machine, use Windows Server Migration Tools instead of attempting to upgrade. For general details about the tools and process, see Migrate Roles and Features to Windows Server. Attempting to upgrade the guest OS while it resides on Azure isn't supported. This is to prevent the risk of losing access to a virtual machine. If problems occur during the upgrade, you could lose the ability to start a Remote Desktop session and troubleshoot the problems.
The images provided by Azure don't have a pre-configured user name and password. When you create virtual machine using one of those images, you'll need to provide a user name and password, which you'll use to log on to the virtual machine.
|If you've forgotten the user name or password and you've installed the VM Agent, you can install and use the VMAccess extension to fix the problem.
Some additional details are:
For the Linux images, if you use the Management Portal, 'azureuser' is given as a default user name, but you can change this by using 'From Gallery' instead of 'Quick Create' as the way to create the virtual machine. Using 'From Gallery' also lets you decide whether to use a password, an SSH key, or both to log you in. The user account is a non-privileged user that has 'sudo' access to run privileged commands. The 'root' account is disabled.
For Windows images, you'll need to provide a user name and password when you create the VM. The account has administrator-level access.
Azure offers several options for anti-virus solutions, but it's up to you to manage it. For example, you might need a separate subscription for antimalware software, and you'll need to decide when to run scans and install updates. You can add anti-virus support with a VM extension for Microsoft Antimalware (Preview), Symantec Endpoint Protection, or TrendMicro Deep Security Agent when you create a Windows virtual machine, or at a later point. The Symantec and TrendMicro extensions let you use a free limited-time trial subscription or an existing enterprise subscription. Microsoft Antimalware (Preview) is free of charge. For details, see one of the following:
For Windows virtual machines, one option is to use Azure Backup to back up files and folders from within the guest operating system. For details, see Azure Backup Overview.
An option that applies to both Linux and Windows virtual machines is to use the snapshot capabilities of blob storage. If you use this option, you'll need to shut down the VM before doing any operation that relies on a blob snapshot. This saves pending data writes and puts the file system in a consistent state.
As soon as you start your VM, Azure charges an hourly price that is based on the VM's size and operating system. You are charged when the VM status is Running or Stopped, but you are not charged when the VM status is Stopped (Deallocated). For partial hours, Azure charges only for the minutes of use. If you create the VM with a VM image containing certain preinstalled software, additional hourly software charges may apply. Azure charges separately for storage for the VM's operating system and data disks (temporary disk storage is free).
When you shut down (deallocate) or delete the VM from the Management Portal or by using Azure PowerShell, the VM is no longer charged.
|If you shut down a VM by using operating system commands or features, it remains allocated and Azure continues to charge for the compute time.
Generally, you can start, stop, or restart your VM whenever you need to. However, Azure sometimes will restart your VM as part of regular, planned maintenance updates in the Azure datacenters. Unplanned maintenance events can also occur when Azure detects a serious hardware problem that affects your VM. In that case Azure automatically migrates the VM to a healthy physical machine, and will restart the VM. For information, see About starting, stopping, and restarting an Azure VM.
If you have one or more VMs that are deployed as single instances (not grouped in an availability set), Azure proactively emails the subscription's Service Administrator at least 1 week before planned maintenance because the VMs could be restarted at the same time during the update. Applications running on the VMs could experience downtime.
If you group two or more similar VMs in an availability set to provide redundancy, you ensure that during planned or unplanned maintenance, at least one VM can stay available. Azure also guarantees certain levels of VM availability for this configuration. For details see Manage the availability of virtual machines.

Videogames, like movies and music, live and die by their release dates. A smartly planned launch can make a niche product soar to unpredicted heights or cause a long-respected franchise to slip beneath consumers' radar. You'd think after decades of retail experience we'd stop seeing games like Blacksite: Area 51 pitted against Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4, but every year there's a perfectly playable game thrown to the wolves.
These are the worst offenders – respectable games released against impossibly popular rivals or, in one case, the one week of the year it shouldn't have come out.
After PlayStation and Nintendo 64 took hold in the mid-'90s, all the franchise greats, from Mario to Final Fantasy to Metal Gear, ditched 2D side-scrolling and embraced the third dimension, insuring their continued positions as top dogs of the industry. Castlevania, on the other hand, stumbled through two ho-hum N64 attempts, then kinda got it right with 2003's Lament of Innocence. With this sort-of-okay game on the table, 2005's Curse of Darkness was poised to finally deliver the 3D experience the series desperately needed.
But for some reason Konami released it a matter of weeks after the vastly superior (and 2D) Dawn of Sorrow, which turned out to be one of the highest rated games in the Castlevania series. Curse, on the other hand, was a middle of the road title that didn't approach the magnificence of the technologically inferior 2D games on GBA and DS.
Above: While Dawn stood tall on DS, Curse blended in with every other console hack-and-slasher
With the Castlevania thirst already quenched, and the 2D games consistently receiving amazing scores, Curse of Darkness fell by the wayside and to this day remains the last 3D Castlevania adventure. It also had to fend off better titles that appealed to roughly the same audience, like Shadow of the Colossus, Dragon Quest VIII and the entire Xbox 360 launch blitz.
If they'd waited a few months, maybe put it out in Feb or March '06 to further distance itself from Dawn of Sorrow, Curse might have stood out. Instead it completely disappeared in a sea of more interesting options.
Hey, Resistance 2 is a fine game. If you're a PS3-only gamer, you're probably already plowing through it, collecting all 20 hidden briefcases and hopping online for some 60-player alien bashing. But, in the immortal words of Danny Devito's Penguin... "You don't really think you'll win, do you?"
Above: Resistance performed well, but the Penguin don't lie
The first Resistance was no slouch, but look at those numbers – Gears became Microsoft's No-Halo backup plan, assuring financial success with the supercharged Gears 2, which was launched just three days after the less attention-seeking Resistance 2. Which do you think will get more ads in magazines and TV, more face time with internet outlets, more overall hype and word of mouth? Gears 2, of course.
More importantly, which is going to sell systems right now? If you own neither, what're the odds you're leaning towards Resistance over Gears? Maybe it's 50/50, you learned gamers you, but consider Average Gamer, who sees two options: Resistance 2 or GEARS2OMFGCHAINSAAAAAAWS! It's got nothing to do with quality; it's all about presence, and Gears has got Resistance beat.
Imagine launching Far Cry 2 against Call of Duty: World at War – both are excellent games and will sell fine, but gamers who can only buy one are almost guaranteed to go with the moneymaker. As with Curse of Darkness, saving this for a less confrontational match might have raised Resistance's profile beyond what the unopposed first game carved out against the then-new Gears of War. Launching when it did, it also has to fight off BioShock and CoD:WAW, two FPSes that are already belting their siren song to PS3 owners.

Racism against Asians gets a free ride.
Oh come now, we know this. For the most part the face of Asians is either Chinese or Indians (if we ever do get considered as being in Asia.), and we are generally considered an acceptable target for two very simple reasons.
1. We are perceived as being well off. So groups that look like us are also perceived as well off and ignored. In the eyes of most people in the west, there is little difference between North and South Koreans as a people. They are the same ethnicity, but politics divided them. While North Korea may have universal wi-fi and high speed Internet and be a tech paradise, South Korea is a totalitarian dicatorship run by a GI Joe villain. Or is it the other way around? Okay jokes aside? Most Americans would probably have learnt more about North Korea from Team America than any serious news source. Being well off, we become an acceptable target. The truth is Asia is huge. Nearly half of the entire world's population is in Asia. And the majority of them are not well off. They are poor. The fact is we mostly came to the USA as skilled labour. To get into the USA the average Indian has to kerb stomp most Americans across the board. Most have to sit the GMAT exam and demonstrate a grasp of English better than the average American and a grasp of mathematics that would be alien to most people. So what you see are India's best and anyone who can call themselves "the best" in India is probably extraordinarily talented, educated or driven. It's the same with China. For us? Education is our Football/Basketball/Rap Music. It was our way out of poverty because we never had a pop scene that drove people to celebrity. Instead it was the competitive exams that enabled us. Either the British then Indian civil service or "business" or medicine and engineering.
But there are poor Indians and there are issues Indians face. You cannot say that there is no racism against Asians when there have been systematic attacks on us like last year's attacks on a Sikh Gurudwara and the White Nationalist attacks on Asians in the UK. One of my big gripes with the whole "Not your Asian Sidekick" was that Asian is often used exclusively of Indians who have to deal with more overt racism in the guise of Islamophobia and who are often excluded in many dialogues.
2. We don't make a fuss. We really don't. In fact post Nirbhaya the wheels are spinning but compared to other groups? We aren't really setting the world on fire when it calls us names. There is a lack of outrage and we are more likely to internalise the assaults on us than get ourselves involved in a conflict. People just have gotten away with saying things that would be considered hurtful if we replace other groups that it has become second nature.
So this was sent to me as somehow explaining the harassment of a woman who happened to disagree with this charming man.
Lest we forget? I am a descendent of Expendable Military Manpower, so it was puzzling that the MRA thought I would somehow support this idiot in the first place. Finest soldiers in the world, when lead by a white officer of course. And often sold into professional soldiery. And while there was no outright slavery, indebtured labour was how the Raj functioned.
Let us ignore the fact that India went from a country where crippling poverty was universal to one where huge amounts of people are upwardly mobile. If this charming man was an expert in Post Colonial studies, I would assume he was attending a terrible school.
No wait, he was at Harvard and claiming to have attended a Post Colonial Studies course that allowed him to say such a horrific thing. Which makes me think? Just what the actual fuck are Harvard teaching? Is there a "How not to be a fucking douche 101″ that he could attend?
Upon agreeing with the person here that the bloke is clearly a racist douche, imagine my surprise that various people were insisting that this guy isn't being racist.
@Million_Gods … where to begin. Do you think B's msg was not sarcastic? Do you think D was serious?
— uberfeminist (@uberfeminist) April 10, 2014
Of course! It's a joke! She's being sarcastic! He's joking! Ho Ho Ho!
@Million_Gods Also if you're going to sell a sari, you can't hire a white model. They're "basic bitches".
— uberfeminist (@uberfeminist) April 10, 2014
@Million_Gods @uberfeminist what the flying fuck? Now you are blaming whites on stupid indians burning their skins? Are you mental?
— Luís Dias (@lmldias) April 10, 2014
In fashion, beauty is aspired to. In order to maintain a standard of beauty it must inaccessible. White people are used to sell beauty to Indians, because white skin is fetishised and dark skin is derided. It caused an enormous industry of skin whitening and people still deride darker skinned Indians due to this notion that white is best. This is a product of the period of racism and apartheid within India.
@Million_Gods @uberfeminist This bothers me. How do you know he is actually a racist, apart from a selective quote w/out context?
— Luís Dias (@lmldias) April 10, 2014
@Million_Gods @uberfeminist I'm sure it is, but blaming whites on this is ridiculous.
— Luís Dias (@lmldias) April 10, 2014
He's not racist. Not until we see the context! Maybe he was being deeply sarcastic. You know how Americans are. They are so good at sarcasm! Unlike the British.
Also? If the original reason for this behaviour was due to colonial pressure and the dialogue of civilised British/savage Indian then yes, white people have a role in its cause and therefore it's blame.
@Million_Gods @uberfeminist I don't know. How do you know he wasn't just getting an harrasser to back off? Hint, you can't know.
— Luís Dias (@lmldias) April 10, 2014
Ah! The correct response to harassment would be to apply racism.
@Million_Gods He didn't say anything like that. And you just *don't Know*. The cherry picked nonsense is cherry picked. Bad evidence.
— Luís Dias (@lmldias) April 11, 2014
Because historical tragedies involving Indians don't count? Bear in mind? That post 1857, Indian troops were equipped with inferior equipment and treated as equipment themselves. They could not rise in rank beyond a certain point and were effectively used as cannon fodder in many battles.
@Million_Gods Then, they evidently started throwing "Fuck you"s in the form of sarcasms. We don't know what happened next. Except.
— Luís Dias (@lmldias) April 11, 2014
@Million_Gods Except that one of them screencaps the *private* conv, throws it on twitter, calls him a "racist" and demands pitchforks, mobs
— Luís Dias (@lmldias) April 11, 2014
@Million_Gods The guy is doxxed, the university asked what will they do regarding this "incident". Who's being harrassed here? COME ON.
— Luís Dias (@lmldias) April 11, 2014
@Million_Gods And then of course people like @uberfeminist point the sheer lunacy out. MRAs get involved and do their own shitty stuff.
— Luís Dias (@lmldias) April 11, 2014
@Million_Gods But in the end, the girl is the "Victim" in all of this, and the original boy is the "Racist!". You are out of your mind.
— Luís Dias (@lmldias) April 11, 2014
Again, why was it acceptable for him to go down that road? Had she been African American, would he have dared to bring up slavery? No. It's really that simple. The defence is "he is fucking over a feminist" and so everything is allowed.
@Million_Gods I wouldn't know. Are you assuming I'm "MRA"? And again assuming the boy is a "racist"? Boy do I have bridges to sell you.
— Luís Dias (@lmldias) April 11, 2014
Anti-Feminist telling me that a guy insulting someone through race is not racism? Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, is an MRA.
@Million_Gods Another thing. If you are having a deplorable conversation and want to insult, guess what you'll say *offensive things* OMG
— Luís Dias (@lmldias) April 11, 2014
Yes, yes you do. Except the line he crossed was the racist line. Now again, racism isn't a problem when you aren't subject to it.
@Million_Gods How do you know he thinks that statement was acceptable? Havent you ever crossed any line?
— Luís Dias (@lmldias) April 11, 2014
Ah so we agree that he crossed a line, but what we now want is him to be forgiven for his racism and understanding. Aww! Poor guy! It must be so hard to be a racist. No… no wait. It's not. It's hard to be the victims of racism. We do not have to give our racists anything, if he wishes to forgive his racism? He has to earn it. And that doesn't exactly come about by hiding and pretending to be sorry when we fight back.
The issue is not that he was racist, but that he was caught using his racism in a way that got coverage.
@Million_Gods He never called her a slave, and you miss the point of an insult actually having the ability of insulting.
— Luís Dias (@lmldias) April 11, 2014
You hear that brown people? It's not insulting! The white dude says so! Tools up! Everyone back to work! Phew! For a second there we all got mad over something that wasn't racist! If only white people could tell us exactly what is and isn't racist, it would solve so many problems!
So it's okay to be racist to groups that haven't had it so bad. Jews are rich! Therefore their racism is okay!
@Million_Gods I'm irish and native american, and racism isn't cool. Despite popular belief, most decent people know this.
— feral goldfish (@feralgoldfish) April 11, 2014
This is where things start taking a turn for the hilarious. ThisNotName is not aware of a lot of Asian History.
Except when we fly mate. Then everyone presumes we are terrorists.
*Cough* #NotYourAsianSidekick charted hundreds of these things. In particular? Street harassment and fetishisation of Asian women
Perhaps you should not wade into a boxing match thinking you are going to be playing poker.
So not only do we see a defence of the racism by someone who has no idea what is going on or about the issue at all but fantastic sexism.
*cough* Middle East, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Burma, Indonesia. Malay Peninsula, Indo-China, Parts of China and the Philippines. This is an area that would count for 1 out of 3 people alive today.
Which made me realise that ThisNotName has no clue about Asia
It's asian History. Then why the fuck are you trying to tell someone who does understand Asian History about your ignorant views on Asia! It's like me trying to discuss Native American History (I know about the big four, Sacagawea, Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Geronimo and basic things about their History but frankly? We only learnt basics) with a Native American and insist he is wrong despite him knowing more about the field.
This was about Africa, I had to point out that African Vodun is not Voodoo which is from Haiti and Louisiana.
Very magnanimous!
Which is why we should force our cultures on others.
About a lack of Asian representation and diversity of understanding.
It's always fun for someone to claim to have knowledge of Asian culture, mention Buddhism and not be able to name a school of Buddhism. In response I pointed out that I as an ethnic Indian could name the different major factions of Christianity and divide them by simplistic reasons for schism.
This ties in with something rather sad I saw on Reddit. A r/athesim redditor bemoaned the lack of community drive to discuss WItch-Hunting in Africa since it was a real evil of religion that was harming people and people were instead more interested in billboards and bumper stickers. Children tortured due to a superstition propped up by Christian Baptists? Nah! Gonna shake my fist at advertising!
Nope, what I said was that in order to progress in a western society most ethnic minorities have to make major concessions and endure casual insult. I actually have a name that can be anglicised. My brother's name is Anand, He is better known as Andy.
Dawkins! Is that you?
But then he goes off the rails.
Aww… Lest we forget? I am Dalit.
See the MRA problem strikes here. They assume Dalit Men have it better than Dalit women. They don't understand that at the same socio-economic level, men have the advantage in privilege over women.
Because Dalit women work. When you are on poverty line economics, women work or starve. And yes, I am lucky. My parents struggled, not me. But it doesn't mean that richer dalits aren't still derided and mistreated.
Also? 60 hour weeks for no pay makes me "very lucky". Many people don't realise this but THIS is my paid job.
It's a conspiracy. George Soros is invovled.
My normal schedule outside this hiatus is 10 hours a day, 7 days a week plus clinic hours. Around 100 hours a week. From September? 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I will be living in a hospital.
And it may not be working in a field, but it is physical work and exhausting at that.
Remember Dalit women have to deal with the sexism inherent to India on top of the caste bigotry of being a Dalit while men only deal with the latter.
Because Asians cannot figure out racism and bigotry without white people. Don't you know!
And that makes you similar to the poorest people in India? They clearly agree with you, which is why they are silent.
Ah! The perfect juxtaposition of Slymepit, Anti-FTB and MRA. Fighting so hard to help men with regards to men's issues.
Nope, instead we have them all attacking a feminist because she had the audacity to call out someone on the basis of being a racist. And then trying to defend it and excuse it.
Yet again, MRA doesn't stand for supporting men's issues but for continual oppression. This time? With racism apologetics. Nice job guys! Yet again you make it known that you don't support men, you just hate women.

I finally fixed my credit report and no baddies anymore. My Equifax is 757 according to this website. Here's what my report has listed as positives:
Daniels Jewelers - Open 2/2004 - $150 paid as agreed (account reports as open even though I haven't used it in 8 years)
Fingerhut - Open 10/2012 - $200 limit/paid as agreed
US Bank Secured Visa - Open 9/2012 - $300 limit/paid as agreed
Barclays Bank Visa - AUTHORIZED USER/Open 9/2012 - $2400 limit Paid as agreed
As you can see most of the accts are open in September or October of this year. How long should I wait before I can be approved for a Prime Credit Card? 6 months? A year?
Most lenders like to see at least 6 months of good credit usage before offering more credit. I would let your new cards age to at least 6 months, then I would apply for a Walmart card. You may get the discover version, you may get the store card. Its a good stepping stone to other cards. I used Target as my stepping stone.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Last week, in my review of Greece's economic drama, I encouraged investors to steer clear of the region.
Although aggressive investors may be tempted to target the euro-bloc, with Greece, Italy, and other vulnerable EU members struggling to resolve their respective issues, the region as a whole remains particularly vulnerable to volatility. Ultimately, those with a stomach for risk would be better off turning to emerging markets. In a number of cases, developing nations have actually witnessed standout stability.
Conservative investors may be less willing to dive into emerging markets. Luckily for them, there are a handful of alternative advanced nations that may prove to be attractive at this time as well. Canada and Australia are two examples.
ETFs allow investors to gain ample access to the Canadian and Australian marketplaces. The iShares MSCI Canada Index Fund (EWC) and the Guggenheim Canadian Energy Income ETF (ENY) are two products investors can turn to in order to target this country's northern neighbor. Meanwhile, the iShares MSCI Australia Index Fund (EWA) provides expansive exposure to the land from down under.Despite being from two very different corners of the globe, Canada and Australia share a number of similarities. In the past, for example, the pair has enjoyed relatively stable governments and generally solid banking systems. Additionally, the two nations' economies rely heavily on commodities. Pointing to the Canada's expansive energy and natural resource reserves, Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty has in the past labeled the nation an, "emerging energy superpower." Australia, meanwhile, is home to a number of the largest names hailing from the mining industry including BHP Billiton (BHP) and Rio Tinto (RIO). China's insatiable appetite for resources has been a major driver propelling this industry's growth. The heavy influence that natural resources have on the Canadian and Australian marketplaces can be seen in examining the indices underlying EWC and EWA. In both funds, the energy and materials sectors together account for more than a third of their portfolios. In the case of EWA, this sector duo represents nearly half of its total assets. In the face of looming economic turmoil and choppy global market action, EWC and EWA have shown resilience. Over the past month period, the two have managed to score more than 10% returns, handedly surpassing the EU-tracking iShares MSCI EMU Index Fund (EZU) and perform in line with the Vanguard Total World ETF (VT).

This is unlike anything else: The texture is soft set, so that you know it's not a liquid but it doesn't have the heft of a solid. And the acidity of the blackberries within the musky sweetness of the jelly is a further thrill.
What I do is make this in the morning of the evening I want to eat it. It is so straightforward that you can do it groggily at breakfast, no trouble. It doesn't need so long to set, but I find it easier to work like this.
Divide the blackberries among 6 glasses; I use old-fashioned champagne saucers with a yield of about ¾ cup each.
Soak the gelatin sheets in a dish of cold water for 5 minutes.
Put the wine, water, sugar, and lime juice in a saucepan, put on the heat, and stir to dissolve the sugar. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute before removing the pan from the heat.
Wring out the gelatin sheets and place in a cup. Whisk around ½ cup of the hot liquid into the gelatin sheets in their cup before pouring the gelatin and liquid mixture into the pan of hot liquid, whisking well to mix. Allow to cool a little.
Pour the liquid over the blackberries in their glasses and refrigerate until set, 3–4 hours depending on how cold your fridge is, or overnight.
Serve with some cream in a pitcher, separately.

Dearest Connie,
7/25/2006 19:49
Dear Connie. Welcome to The Circle of Love, like Anita said, I am also sorry we have to meet this way, but Thank God that you found this wonderful Circle of Love and understanding. I also lost my only child Solange, she was only 20 years old when God called her home 47 and a half months ago.We all understand your pain, only those who has suffered the ultimate pain of loosing a child or grandchild will understand, the rest, like friends and family, even though they all mean well, could never really understand what we are going through. There is no judgement here, only love, understanding and lots of prayers. You can vent all your grief, anger, doubts and all that comes with this so very complicated pain, we will all understand. Please keep on posting here whenever you want, we will be here for you my dear friend, this is a very safe Heaven, you will be part of this family for as long as you want. I Thank God for bringing me to this Circle, to this day I can't even remember how I found it, but I keep Thanking God every day for it, you will meet more of our Angel sisters, they are all lovable persons and our dear sister Sandy, which I call The Angel in Chief, for she was the one who created this Circle of love in memory of her dear son Shane. I am also sure that Derrick is in the company of all our Angel kids now, they will be together until is time for us to be with them again, and this time Forever. My love and prayers are with you my dear Connie. Selva
7/25/2006 19:59
Hi my dear sisters. Charlene I hope that the weather is not as hot as it was, I also read the problems in St Louis, it is really crazy all over, I blame it on Global warming, we are not taking care of Mother Earth and she is starting to get angry and that is scary. We are having very hot temperatures, it was 102F today, but in Florida you are ready for this heat, everywhere you go there is air conditioning, so it is really not a problem here, only in the winter, ha ha, when it goes below 50 (rarely) then is when we have problems, for a lot of people like in old houses don't have heaters, and then start to used portable ones which can cause fires, and of course hurricanes which can be very very nasty, so everybody has their problems with Mother Nature. Anita good to see you posting, I had a lot of work lately but it is getting back to normal now, so I will be able to post more often. Have not heard from Ms V. lately, I pray that she is doing OK with her therapy. My love and prayers are with all of you always. Love Selva
7/26/2006 09:23
Hello dear Connie, I also warmly welcome you to this Circle of Love, just so sorry as the other sisters have said about the reason why you're here.
7/26/2006 20:48
Dear Connie,
7/26/2006 21:01
Hey sister Selva! Good to hear that your work is slowing down some. If it was cooler, maybe you could enjoy the beach too. :o)
7/26/2006 21:19
Hello, I'm new to this circle I lost my nephew that I helped raised on the 16th of this month just one month short of his 35th birthday. We buried him yesterday and that was so hard to do. He was gunned down like he was a nobody, it hurts so much everytime I try to figure out what happened, and why? You see my sister pasted ten years ago and his father before then, so you see he was like a son rather then a nephew. I miss him so much.
7/26/2006 21:40
Dear angelcp,
7/27/2006 09:36
Hello dear angelcp, you're not 'new' anymore, you're part of this Circle of Love now.
7/27/2006 18:42
Hi dear Angelcp. Welcome to our Circle, I am so sorry about you loss, it is so sad to loose a child, and I can tell by your post that you love him as your own child. Yes we understand your pain right now, the anger, the dispair and the whys, this pain is unique and very complicated, only with prayers, understanding and feeling the pain and crying, will make you feel just a little better, like our sisters said, don't keep it inside, you have to let it out, and please be sure that you can count with our prayers and understanding, we know of what you are going through right now, please post here anytime you need to, we are all here for ane another, and you are part of this Circle of Love. Selva
7/27/2006 18:56
Hi my dear sister Charlene. Ay you have so many wonderful memories! I love farms, as a matter of fact since i can remember I always wanted to live in a farm, my father had a small farm in Cuba when I was little, but we never lived there but I remember that I wanted to go every weekend and ride in a horse, it felt so good doing that, it was like I was in Heaven, I didn't get to do it many times because I needed someone to go with me, and take care of me etc. and didn't find many "volunteers" ha ha, I always said I was going to buy a farm and retire there, so I could take care of the animals (which I love) and plant everything that I will eat, anyway it has been my dream, but I am "almost" alone now, so it will be very difficult to have a farm, but I still dream , my Solange, was a city girl, she never really enjoyed the country site, beaches yes, ha ha, I used to kidd around with her and was always telling her, we are going to move to Dominican Rep and live in a farm, ha ha, she used to say, no way, I will just go and visit you. I bought a piece of land in a very small beach in Dominican Rep, I think that just maybe 100 people live there, the rest of the houses are just for people who go for weekends, and I am planning to move there when I retire, but this is also another dream, all I have is my brother and sister, my brother is a City guy so there is no way he is going to move there, and my sister is so ill, that I don't know if she will be able to move there so I just keep on dreaming. I have always said "If you want to make God laugh, just tell him "your plans", He has His won Plans, so He just smiles (and sometimes laugh) when we tell Him ours. Love and prayers my dear sister. Selva
7/27/2006 19:04
Hi my dear sisters. I am requesting prayers for our dear Sister in Chief. Her step dad is going through surgery today and he needs all the prayers we can do. Also our sister Sandy is awaiting to hear news about the surgery, please join me in prayers so that everything will turn out fine. I have not heard from Sandy since early today, so I am praying that God will help them all, and that the surgery will be succesful. Love Selva
7/27/2006 19:50
Father God, I come before You now giving praise and honor to Your Holy Name. I ask You, Father, to grant our sister Sandy peace today as her stepdad has his surgery. Father, I ask for complete recovery for him, that he will be back on his feet soon. Father, I also ask that You will give them a sign that You are near them right now, in Jesus' Name.

Hello All,I want to thank each of you for your encouraging and kind words. I truly know that I am with God's people. You just don't know how your words uplifted me a little higher. A point I have not been since DC's death. I will continue to pray for all of you as well and lift you all up in prayer. My daughter, her husband, and the rest of my grandkids are leaving tomorrow for a weekend get-away. We all need this and we are just trying to get our family back together even though a piece of it is with our Father. God Bless All of You and your family and I am looking forward to cyber mailing back and forth. Your Sister Connie

Hello Connie, I'm glad you were able to post again. Whatever you and your family feel like you need to do is what you should do. I'm slowly learning this. I didn't know anything about grief (especially how to grieve or that it was okay to grieve) until I came here to this circle. These ladies have started me on a healing journey that I don't think I would have ever found otherwise. It's not fun or pleasant, but stuffing it all in and not allowing myself to even cry was killing me physically and emotionally. It's going to be a long journey, but at least I have all of the sisters here to travel with. I know we all go at our own speed and in our own way, but at least we're all headed in the same direction together. You are in my prayers!

I have just recently read this poem and thought it described our relationships with each other here in this circle. I dedicate it to all of you!

Thank you dear sisters for your prayers, they are truly appreciated and it's so heartwarming to know that we can count on each other to lift us up in prayer when needed. Unfortunately I missed my sister's phone call this morning, telling me about the surgery, if they got the tumor out, but she's going to call back later today and I'll know more then.
7/28/2006 13:04
Our dear Anita, I know today is a special day for you, your beloved Joshua's Birthday, God love you. I pray that happier memories surface today for you, but if you feel like crying, you go right ahead my sister, you have every right to. I pray you feel your Joshua around you today,

i am interested in techniques on how to best present biographies on a web site. I have put a link for "bio" after a person's name. Then on actual bio page for the person, i put "Bio for Jane Doe" from an accessibility standpoint, what makes sense?
