The Madison Police Department received information that marijuana plants were growing on the side of the road inside Gibson's Trailer Park. Gibson's Trailer Park is located off East US 90. On Friday, June 27, Sergeant investigator James Roebuck located the plants and determined that it was marijuana plants. He recovered three marijuana plants from the location that was three to four feet tall. The plants were transported back to the Madison Police Department for safe keeping until the plants can be disposed of properly.

The phrase "listen to your parents" takes on a whole new level of significance when it may possibly thwart an excruciatingly humiliating situation.
Kirsten Dunst's new film Bachelorette is a little on the dirty, vulgar side, so much so that the actress has actually forbidden her father from ever seeing it.
"I didn't even tell him there was an L.A. premiere. And I was like, 'Yeah, Dad — don't even try getting it on iTunes, because you will not like this movie. You're a prude. You will hate it. I know you!'" Dunst revealed to E! News.
How bad can it possibly be? Well, we think the title of the film gives most of the plot away. It revolves around three women (Dunst, Isla Fisher and Lizzy Caplan) who are recruited as bridesmaids by a former schoolmate (Rebel Wilson) whom they used to bully. One thing leads to another, and it turns into a drunken, sexual mess. In one particular scene, Dunst's character has sex with a gentleman in the bathroom of a strip club… Yeah, maybe Dad should steer clear of this movie, for his own good.
But while we're on this wave, which film would you never see with your parents? Here's our roundup.
This movie may seem to be in good fun for a girls' night out with Mama, until you meet Samantha's sultry neighbour (and man of fancy) with the stamina of a bunny and a bottomless supply of one-night stands (all vividly shared with the viewer). That exposing shower scene (you know which one) will leave you shuddering with discomfort and hoping for a self-combusted black hole to inhale the TV screen.
The series of films was a delight to watch with friends, but it may harbour a bit of awkwardness with parents. The inevitable wonder of whether one's child participated in such vulgarities will surely leave your parents with a sweaty brow. From the iconic pie scene to Alyson Hannigan's band camp confession… Just think of it this way: Would you watch it with your children?
The film that started a chain of filthy guy flicks is probably not your best bet for a night in with the parents. Odd confessions, waxing scenes, transvestite prostitutes and plain old potty-mouth smut are what make this movie amazing, but they're also the reasons your parents must remain ignorant of its existence… Right?
Share your thoughts. Godspeed!

EPA Is Faulted as Failing to Shield Public From Toxins by Marla Cone, Times Staff Writer, Los Angeles Times July 13th, 2005 |
he U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is failing to protect the public from tens of thousands of toxic compounds because it has not gathered data on the health risks of most industrial chemicals, according to a report by the investigative arm of Congress to be released today. The report by the Government Accountability Office found that chemical companies had provided health data to the EPA for about 15% of chemicals that had been introduced over the past 30 years. In addition, the report said the EPA had sought information about health dangers for fewer than 200 of the tens of thousands of industrial compounds that had been in use since before the late 1970s. "EPA does not routinely assess existing chemicals, has limited information on their health and environmental risks, and has issued few regulations controlling such chemicals," the report said. The investigators concluded that the environmental agency "lacks sufficient data to ensure" that the public is protected. About 80,000 chemicals are used by U.S. industries, and scientific studies suggest that many pose health threats, such as cancer, birth defects, altered sex hormones and damage to developing brains. Included are many substances such as flame retardants in furniture and electronics, phthalates in cosmetics and various chemicals in plastics that people are exposed to in everyday products. The investigators recommended that Congress amend the Toxic Substances Control Act, the 1976 law that regulated industrial chemicals, to give the environmental agency more power to require companies to provide health data about chemicals and to restrict their use. "EPA has had difficulty proving that chemicals pose unreasonable risks and has regulated few existing chemicals under TSCA," the report said. The current law is "unlikely to address more than the most serious chemical risks," the accountability office investigators concluded. In recent years, tests by federal health officials and others have found that human bodies contain hundreds of chemicals. Such findings have drawn attention to the toxics law and prompted Sens. Frank R. Lautenberg (D-N.J.), James M. Jeffords (I-Vt.) and Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) to ask the accountability office last year to investigate the the environmental agency's efforts to regulate chemicals. Lautenberg plans today to unveil the proposed Child, Worker and Consumer Safe Chemicals Act, a bill he wrote with Jeffords that would strengthen the toxics law. Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Los Angeles) plans to introduce the same bill in the House. "In the GAO report, we will learn that [the toxics law] is an ineffective and burdensome law that often fails to protect our families," Lautenberg said. "In 29 years, the agency has formally requested health information on just 200 chemicals out of about 80,000, according to the report." The findings echo the concerns of many environmental scientists and health activists. "The existing law is broken," said Andy Igrejas of the National Environmental Trust in Washington. "It doesn't protect the American public from toxic chemicals. It's arguably our weakest environmental law, and people don't realize that." The law "tells EPA that before you can regulate the chemical, you have to amass enormous evidence to prove it guilty. But EPA doesn't have the authority to get that evidence," Igrejas said. EPA officials, in a written response to the report, said they were "proud of the progress that we have made in protecting human health and the environment." In the last 20 years, the agency has regulated more than 1,600 chemicals, and a similar number has been voluntarily withdrawn by companies, wrote Susan B. Hazen, the agency's principal deputy assistant administrator. She wrote that amendments to the law were unnecessary because "the EPA believes that there is currently strong legal authority" to require testing of compounds. Representatives of the chemical industry were unavailable for comment Tuesday. But in the past, they have said that they subject chemicals to rigorous safety tests and that a stronger law is unnecessary. In 1998, the Chemical Manufacturers Assn., now the American Chemistry Council, initiated a voluntary program to provide information on the basic properties of about 2,800 chemicals used in high volumes. But the federal report said it was "unclear whether the program will produce sufficient information for EPA to determine chemicals' risks to human health and the environment." The environmental agency has not banned any existing industrial chemical since 1989, when it tried to phase out asbestos. The asbestos ban was overturned in 1991 when a federal appeals court ruled that the EPA had not proved it was necessary to protect human health. Since then, the agency has relied mostly on voluntary efforts by chemical companies. The report comes as Europe debates a controversial proposal, called REACH, that would require extensive testing of chemicals. The Bush administration and U.S. chemical industry have lobbied against the proposal, saying it is unworkable, would cost the industry billions of dollars and could lead to bans on important compounds. The accountability office report does not endorse the European Union proposal. But it suggests several options for Congress to strengthen the U.S. law by requiring testing before a chemical is introduced and reducing the burden of proof needed to regulate a chemical. Many U.S. environmental experts agree. Joel A. Tickner, associate professor at the University of Massachusetts' School of Health & Environment, said the United States "is behind the curve" and "needs a fundamental new chemicals policy" similar to the EU proposal. |

The Walking Dead - The Walking Dead: Season 2 - Episode 2: A House Divided
The scene where Clementine tries to give Sarah a tutorial in how to use a gun was awfully ominous, don't you think? Despite Clem instructing Sarah not to treat it as a toy, that's almost exactly what she ends up doing.
We can probably expect Sarah's irresponsible attitude concerning firearms to come into play in a later episode. This would be a nasty little surprise, as everyone's been expecting NICK to turn into the official "Ben" of season 2.
Maybe Sarah accidentally shoots someone dead. Carlos? Nick? Alvin? Luke? Kenny? Sarita? If Sarah were to kill Sarita, I doubt I'd be willing to get in Kenny's way if he wanted payback.

Game description: Ninja Bounce
The main character of Ninja Bounce is apparently a dropout of the ninja training courses, as from the full arsenal of the greatest warriors' skills he possesses only quick running and high jumping. But these very skills help him save his life. And he will have to save his life not from the great number of enemies and monsters, but from the much greater disaster: from the forest fire. It is not possible to come to an agreement with the elemental forces, and they are not going to wait. So, concentrate and try to outrun the fire, pushing off adroitly from anything you got under your feet. Despite the visual simplicity of the gameplay the developers paid a lot of attention to graphics. As a result, you see a beautiful hand-drawn picture, pleasing the eye. The hero himself is well designed and funny animated. The effects are well-drawn and simply realized, but this is enough to significantly brighten the gameplay. The musical accompaniment is also done simply and tastefully. In the game, you can select one of the two modes: challenge and time attack.

Charlie Sheen's Ex Brooke Mueller Fired Twins' Nanny Before Starting 19th Rehab Stint (EXCLUSIVE)
Brooke Mueller and Charlie Sheen's twins are staying with the actor's other ex-wife -- Denise Richards -- while their mom is in rehab because she fired their long-time nanny, Celebuzz has learned.
Mueller, 35, checked back into rehab Monday night for the 19th time to seek treatment for an addiction to Adderall, a psycho-stimulant drug commonly used for attention deficit disorder.
Questions were raised when it emerged Richards, 41, had taken in Bob and Max, Mueller's three-year-old sons with Sheen, because the actor reportedly does not have time to care for the kids because he is shooting his hit FX show. Richards will keep them for "an indefinite period of time," it's been suggested.
Now it's emerged why.
"The nanny, Alisa, was the true mother figure for Bob and Max," the source said. "She has been with the boys 24 hours a day, seven days a week. But when Brooke was hospitalized last week when another assistant found her unresponsive and made a 911 call, Brooke blamed Alisa.
"Now, she has cut Bob and Max off from one of the few constants in their life. Alisa is devastated."
Mueller, the third-wife of Anger Management star Sheen, was rushed to the hospital on Dec. 7 after reportedly overdosing on prescription pills. Her rep at the time said she was simply "diagnosed with exhaustion and dehydration."
It was the nanny who rushed Bob and Max to Richards home last week, when their oft-troubled mother was rushed to hospital."Brooke was upset with the nanny that she also called her mother, Moira," the insider told Celebuzz.
"She instructed Alisa to return the children to her from Denise. When she did, Brooke fired her."
It's not known if the nanny has spoken to Los Angeles County Dept. of Children and Family Services (DCFS), who on Dec. 8, showed up at her Los Angeles house to search for signs of drug use, TMZ reported. Officials also questioned the twins and checked for signs of physical abuse.
Said the source: "People close to Brooke has been bombaring DCFS for months.. worried about the welfare of the children."

Inside the Rosewill RSV-L4411
Here we get our first look inside the case. Three 120mm fans keep the drives cool and pull air into the motherboard area. Two 80mm fans exhaust air from the case, all of the fans are included. An aluminum crossbar across the top is to keep the case sturdy, but we didn't notice a difference with the bar removed. The case is built well and doesn't flex from its own weight.
The motherboard area gives us a lot of room to build a system. We tested both a single socket LGA2011 and a dual socket LGA2011 motherboard in the case.
The drive cages have four SATA data connectors and two Molex 4-pin power connectors. These are removable should you with to use different drive cages or run optical disk media players.
Here we see a close up of the SATA data and power connectors. My only complaint is the data cables aren't labeled so you will spend a little bit of time mapping the drives.
At the time of writing, we needed to test a Supermicro ATX motherboard with dual 10GbE Ethernet and onboard LSI SATA / SAS RAID. The case makes the full size motherboard look tiny, almost like a Mini-ITX motherboard in a regular consumer case.
Later we tested a GIGABYTE dual LGA2011 Xeon board in the case and it filled the case nicely. The motherboard tray extends all the way out to fit dual Xeon and dual Opteron motherboards, while still leaving a full three inches of space between the board and the drive cage fans.

Despite resistance to the idea from cultural mandarins, this much seems clear: If Shelley and Byron were alive today, they would play electric guitar. The role of the rock star in popular culture, critic Timothy White assures us in the introduction to Rock Lives a massive, often fascinating, frequently maddening collection of 59 profiles of music greats from Robert Johnson and Ray Charles to Joni Mitchell and Bryan Ferry is to embody the romantic quest for beauty and self-knowledge. If this involves the flouting of cultural taboos and the crossing of ''class, racial, religious, and sexual lines,'' according to White, so much the better.
True to its origins, rock is nothing if not impertinent. But for White, a former reporter-interviewer for Crawdaddy and Rolling Stone, it's the Dionysian aspect of his subjects' lives that fascinates him most. ''Rock and roll,'' he portentously informs us, ''is the darkness that enshrouds secret desires unfulfilled ...As Jerry Lee Lewis can tell you, if you want to rock, you do not go gently into that good night.'' And elsewhere: ''Rock and roll...is a banquet nonpareil, oblivious to all consequences.'' Tipper Gore, an entirely different critic, couldn't have put it better.
Now, a skeptic might argue that Louisiana roadhouses are full of deranged rednecks like native son Jerry Lee who can scarcely play a lick. The infamous ''Killer'' hasn't enhanced his art with dope and dissipation; he's about wrecked it, and himself as well. Conversely, the key to the continuing creativity of now middle-aged figures such as Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, and Pete Townshend all profiled in Rock Lives isn't the hours they've spent semicomatose and incoherent. Rather, it's the time they've spent honing their craft. It's also having the good sense to save themselves often only after witnessing the deaths of intimate friends from the consequences of such pernicious nonsense as White peddles.
Townshend, formerly the presiding genius of the Who and for years one of the most articulate voices in rock, speaks compellingly here on the theme of the immense cultural power accumulated by a figure like himself, and his consequent sense of responsibility to use it for proper ends. Which makes it all the more unfortunate that White's book publicist has called so much attention to Townshend's statements on his bisexuality. Though Townshend's comments were part of a larger discussion of his music, that subtlety has been lost. ''Pete Townshend, Out of the Closet'' headlined USA Today, ignoring, among other aspects of the interview, a fascinating comparison between Hitler's use of the adolescent mob and the origins of the rock & roll audience, as well as some equally interesting comments on his belief ''that there is a Savior.'' No wonder that Townshend, according to his press representatives in London, has decided to give no more interviews.
Fortunately, Timothy White turns out to be a far better reporter than he is a thinker. He invariably shows up for his interviews armed with an encyclopedic knowledge of his subjects' work often provoking remarkable frankness and introspection. His own prose, though often deep purple, can also be remarkably evocative, as in his description of James Brown ''giving off keening shrieks that peaked past the speedbump of human hearing, disappearing into the ultrapitched domain of a dog whistle.'' Flawed, but invaluable. B

My goodness, Benefit gets me every single time! They lure you in with that SUPER CUTE packaging, the little names and slogans of their products. I got bathina from my mom A LONG time ago, I wanna say she got it for me like 7 years ago. The packaging was so cute, in this pink tin with the sexy little pin-up style model on the front of it. It came with a black puff was this darling little bow on it. I used it a few times after i was done shaving and it made my legs silky smoothe. However, I could not get over the smell of it. It smelled like fake, artificial plastic mixed with some kind of floral. I hated it. I held onto it because i thought maybe it would grow on me? I am not too sure... I think because it was so expensive, that also played a role in why i just didnt toss it. Anyway, years and years later- about a week ago I found it in my piles of makeup and opened it up... it still has that same gross smell, but it still is super silky and the texture of the balm hasnt changed at all. I was definatly impressed! By now, i would have thought it was all dried up and ready to be thrown in the trash... but not even close. Those were the only two good things about bathina, well three things if you include the cute packaging.... the feeling of silkyness the product gives you and how many years it has stayed fresh. Will i buy this again? No way. I dont even think id recommend it, because there are 500 other products that can make your skin just as silky.

I used this balm for a long time when I had it. It's pink and smells of roses and leaves a subtle sheen on your body. It doesn't replace a normal body moisturiser so I used this to just give my legs some glow on top of a moisturizer.
The reason this only gets a 4 is because even though I think this product is so cute, it smells nice and it does make legs look really glowy I just didn't reach for it that often. It kinda got forgotten in my bathroom cabinet for long periods. So because this didn't make me addicted it gets 4 lippies. It's a nice addition to your body care routine during summers when one tends to wear shorter dresses.

A good idea for a product but it doesn't totally hit the spot with me. It smells lovely, but the flowery rosy scent can get a bit tiring after a while - it's really strong and it does linger! It adds a very subtle sexy sheen but when I say subtle I mean it.. you'd need to use a lot to make a noticeable difference. It's nice to be used all over just to give yourself a bit of an added glow and make your skin scented all over, nice after a bath or shower on freshly shaved legs. The texture of the balm is very silky and smooth, I don't find it to be sticky or greasy but you do need to let it dry a bit before dressing. I find that Soap & Glory Glow Lotion does exactly what this does for a lot cheaper, maybe even a tad better at giving skin a shimmering glow, however doesn't smell as good. The packaging of this product is really nice, not as amazing as the old "Body So Fine" tin but it's still cool and I will be keeping the tin after the product is used. It is very expensive but it won't need to be repurchased often as the balm lasts quite a long time. Overall it's a good effort from Benefit!

I strongly dislike reading review that are along the lines of "oh my goodness the smell" but this is the one product that falls into that category for me. I can't stand the smell, so I gave it my daughter and it still drove me nuts so I kindly asked her to bring it over to dad's and leave there.
The product is a balm so it's thicker than a body butter and I didn't find the product applied easily or moisturized enough to take the time to apply it for it's subtle shimmer to give me that glow from within look.

This is such a wonderful product and a shame they ever discontinued it! Goes on smooth and smells amazing. I hate having a messy velvet puff, but its worth it. The tin and packaging are generous and effective. Bathina looks so glamorous :P
This being said, I AM SO OUTRAGED BENEFIT HAVE DUPED THEIR CUSTOMERS by bringing this out in a different tin and pack but offering way less product for the same price as this. That is disgusting businessmanship (if that's not a word Ive just invented it lol :P ) How can they treat their customers as stupid by taking the old amazing one away and giving us less in a flashy new package? Did they think we wouldn't notice? So silly.
Seriously, dont take my word for it. Go look at the grams for Body So Fine and the grams for Take a Picture... It Lasts Longer and you'll see what i mean. Guess i'll have to source this beauty from ebay or other retailers who have some left. Looks and feels amazing after freshly shaved legs too.
Get your hands on it if you can, but whatever you do, boycott the new one! Thats what they get for trying to rip us off!

I received this as a b'day gift from a lovely friend. but what she don't know, is that im too sloppy for a product so girlish & self-indulgent. I was nearly afraid to use the sponge and smooth it on my skin...it's a SO luxuriated form of use. My usuals are the bottle / pump dispenser types. It smells rose-like gorgeous, has fine shimmer particles, and great sheen upon appliaction. More for party-night outs, across shoulders & clevage, and some for sexy calves. Would love to love this, but it's not for the practical-minded.

Okay, I know this is getting bad reviews, but I love it. I apply it to my legs daily, and it gives them a hint of color, more than what I would get just with lotions. The smell is a light one that doesn't clash with my perfume, and doesn't linger too long. The velvet pouf can get a little annoying, it seems to hold on to a lot of the balm, but it feels nice and smooth against my skin. The light pink color is really pretty, and not over the top glittery. I can use it when going to work just as well as when I'm going out. And the tin is a very nice one. I'll definitely keep it once the product is gone.

This review is for Bathina "take a picture... it lasts longer" Please dont waste your money! It is pink scented vaseline. Of course, those are not the ingredients listed, but thats what it looks like. The fragrance smells like an old lady and the "shimmer" is more of a gloss that can be achieved by rubbing vaseline on your skin if you so chose. As you can tell I so regret this purchase!

Financial Matters
How to pay for infertility care
We accept most insurance plans!
We work with most major insurance companies to accept coverage for those patients who have it. If you have insurance coverage it's important to research your infertility benefits prior to getting services and treatment. Check to see if your coverage is for both medical services and fertility medications. Some insurance plans cover the diagnostic testing for infertility and some may cover infertility treatments. Some insurance plans have lifetime maximums for infertility treatments. Many health insurers have an online process that allows for verification of services or you can contact your insurer's customer service department to speak to someone in person.
Predetermination of Benefits
We've included a sample letter that you can fill out and forward to your insurance company to determine if you have benefits that cover IVF treatment. To request predetermination of IVF Benefits, complete the letter below and attach the "In Vitro Fertilization Fees" form to the letter.
- Fax or e-mail both forms to the number listed on your insurance plan member services card.
- Submit the reply from the insurance company to Reproductive Medicine Center (scan/e-mail, fax, or bring in person)
Predetermination of Benefits Letter
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Fees
Pre-authorization for Services
Some insurance plans will require prior authorization/pre-certification once your physician determines that treatment is appropriate. Benefits and payment for services may be withheld if you do not get this pre-authorization in advance. Let us know if pre-authorization is required and we can start processing the necessary paperwork.
IVF - Regular Fee-for-Service Fees
- If you are paying out-of-pocket for all services
- If you are using infertility insurance benefits for diagnostic testing and/or IVF
- If you are using a combination of insurance benefits and paying out-of-pocket
IVF Cycle Fees (example based on a Female, < 45 years old, using her own eggs)
- Prescreening evaluation: $3,300- 4,000
- IVF Cycle Services: $10,600 - 14, 500
- Medications per cycle: $2,500 - 3,500
Call us for a detailed pricing sheet!
If you do not have insurance benefits
Here are a few ways to help defer some of the costs not covered by insurance.
- Flex spending accounts: many companies have a Flex plan that allows employees to set aside pre-tax dollars for health care expenses that are not covered by insurance. Check with your employer's benefits representative to determine the specifics of the utilizing the account.
- Health Savings Accounts: this is a medical savings account available to those enrolled in high deductible health plans. Funds you withdraw from your HSA are tax-free when used to pay for fertility treatment expenses.
- Medical expenses may be deductible if they exceed 7.5% of a couple's adjusted gross income and if it is itemized on their income taxes. An accountant or tax specialist can help determine whether this option is available.
Payment Policy
We offer free financial consultations to all of our patients at the time of their initial consultation. Insurance coverage must be confirmed and payment for all non-covered procedures must be received at the time of service. Payment for IVF treatment will be required at the start of the medication for the IVF cycle. We accept VISA, MasterCard, Discover, AMEX, cash, personal checks and money orders. We do not offer any type of payment plans.
Call our Financial Counselor at 612-372-7020 for more information regarding pricing and insurance.

Performance: Reading the specifications PS3 is more noticeable. Actually, it's quite inferior to the XBOX. Without getting into too numerous details, the three general-purpose CPU's of xbox 360 are greater than SPU's on the PS3.
Graphics The GPU is much noticeable on XBOX 360. It has more powerful FillRate, and more pixel and vertex processing. The identical vertex shader will run much slower on the PS3 than the XBOX 360. The 360 also has a brilliant new way rendering high definition anti aliased back buffers.
To achieve the same result on PS3 is much more expensive. For this cause I think many games will have no choice but to run in non-HD resolutions on the PS3 version, use a lower quality Anti-aliasing technique, or do back buffer upscaling. The last result in all cases is going to be noticeably poorer image quality.
Another evident point is that right now the xbox 360 already has a very stunning line-up of titles on store tables; the PS3 just launched, and has virtually nothing of interest. As Well, many Xbox360 games are already discounted. PS3 games are all full price since it just launched.
The PS3 gets one built in (blu-ray). The xbox 360 provides HD-DVD as an add-on for $200. You probably don't care about HD-DVD right now. But you will shortly (The quality between DVD and HD is comparable to to VHS vs DVD, if you have the right TV) so I indicate paying attention to the war that's started out.If you rent a BLU-RAY DVD from Bockbuster, it won't run in your XBOX 360 HD-DVD, and vice versa with the PS3.
Price: This is evident; the XBOX 360 core is only $299. The PS3 is around $499 for the 20GB version. It comes with a hard drive, but you don't need a hard drive to delight a lot of great games on the 360 so I think it's fair to compare both core systems.
Xbox 360 vs PS 3 – 2012 Update :
I've decided to make this update, as one of the guys who posted a comment, had a clean and good review, thanks "The Third Party" your comment was absolutely great :
"Graphics PS3 > XBOX 360
The PS3 has a Blu-Ray player not found in the XBOX 360, thus PS3 games are released on Blu-Ray disc, and being that Blu-Ray is the most modern form of compact disc (CD), you dont even need personal opinion to decide the better console. Though through my own personal experience, the PS3 is better.
Online PS3 > XBOX 360
The speed online between XBOX 360 and PS3 is relatively unnoticeable, and when it does come for free, 'relatively unnoticeable is very good. However, if you want the absolute best and are not concerned about price, the XBOX might be a better choice. Unfortunately, due to the XBOX's low price, it has a large majority of players on its servers who are rabble (low skill, loud mouth, low intelligence, and usually around 12, you can even guess this would be the case in the XBOX 360′s childish looking menu and avatars)
Controller PS3 > XBOX 360
I am 6'2, my hand is about 7-8 inches long from wrist to the end of my middle finger, so when I hold an XBOX controller, I have a hard time finding space for my support fingers (fingers not used to press buttons or triggers) while the PS3′s controllers is wider, and the bridge (area containing the Start, Select, and Home buttons) is dramatically thinner and more compact. This allows you to place your fingers in a variety of ways and positions, a crucial element for anyone who has adult sized hands and is going to play for several hours. Also, it's lighter, the battery pack is internal and totally hidden, while the XBOX controller is about 1.5-2 times the weight, is so clunky it barely has handles, and has a very large external battery pack sitting right where I'd like to rest my fingers. The XBOX controller is modeled almost exactly after the PS controller, in that it has the same amount of buttons, in the same exact places (excluding the directional pad which trades places with the left analog stick) further proof PS controllers are better is that the original XBOX had only 'bumpers' and no triggers, the triggers that would be found on PS controllers were replaced by 'Black' and 'White' buttons found on the face of the controller, but these buttons were then replaced with triggers taken from the PS controllers design when the console moved into the Seventh Generation along with the PS3 and Wii. The last bit of reasoning, some players like to play using an alternative hand position, such as myself. On my right right hand, I use my middle finger to operate the triggers, while my index finger can rest on the Square/X button for smoother operation of the controller. This is easily accomplished with PS controllers due to its thin wide shape that has served as the base of controller design since the realease of Playstation One, though it is practically impossible on an XBOX controller due to its 'fat' and narrow design.
Games Library PS3 < XBOX
The XBOX takes the cake easily on this one, even diehard PS3 fans should be able to see this. Very few games are PS3 Exclusive, and they're usually not very popular. However, a multitude of games can only be found on the XBOX 360, and a huge pool have expansion packs or add-ons that can only be found on the XBOX 360, such as Oblivion. While the Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine can be found on PS3, Horse Armour, Mehrunes Razor and several other tasty add-ons are simply not available on PS3. For a Game Lover this spells disaster, and many people will switch (and have switched) to XBOX 360 in the pursuit of more in-game content. Another example are Halo, Gears of War, and Fable, which are only found on XBOX 360. The PS3 does have its own exclusives, but they cant pull it up to be worthy of beating te XBOX 360′s game library.
Community Size PS3 XBOX 360
The PS3 is a better All-Round choice for most people. A simple evidence is that the Playstation 2 was released in 2000, while the XBOX was released in 2001. Normally, this would mean the PS2 would become obsolete sooner, but it didnt. In any GameStop or EB Games you will find PS3 games, XBOX 360 games, Wii games, GameCube games, and PS2 games. Of Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft, Microsoft is the only company with a single console being represented. Of the three, Microsoft is the only company with no portable games (such as the PSP or Gameboy). And of the three, Sony is the only company with TWO consoles still active with new releases and decent sized communities (the PS2 is not yet considered obsolete by game providers and is the ONLY Sixth Generation Console with an active community and new release games).
However, it's not that simple. Everyone is different, you have people who fancy Simple Structuring, which the XBOX provides, and people who appreciate a Complex System, such as the PS3, some people are more oriented towards offline and RPG games, which the XBOX delivers well, and some are more oriented toward competitive online and FPS (First Person Shooter) which is where the PS3 can deliver a more satisfying product. The bottom line is, no one syste is king, which is why they've been struggling for power for the last decade. I would personally recommend buying both if you can afford it, they are both excellent consoles and each have their Pros and Cons. I own both and like them both alot, and as ong as there are PS3 fans, XBOX will make better games, as long as there are XBOX fans, PS3 will make better games. Competition is the Mainstay inside video games, and its what makes Video Games great, and new, and different. So if you want to play Fable but love Playstation, buy an XBOX as well, because thats going to drive PS3 to greater heights in an effort to compete, and vice-versa. You want good video games in the future? Buy the games you want no matter the system, or you can pledge DieHard devotion, and pray for the competitions downfall, but you'll only be destroying the market."

The PS3 has more casual players, and XBOX is for the serious gamers. Why? Online prices, that's why.
xbox is better than ps 3
ddude yea ps 3 is free but Xboxes is way better buddy I promise had an xbox for 8 years I loved it then I decided to try ps 3 I hadit for 1 day and then I brought it back the next day
Xbox vs ps3
Why wont these people just realize that xbox is made for teenage boys and childish adults and ps3s are for the mature field of gamers and the graphics really depend on the game and everyone who thinks that xbox or ps3 is better just says that because its THEIR opinion. Personally, ive been growing up with playstation. With xbox you have to pay for live but with ps3 its free. Ps3 costs more because the title "playstation" is a higher title thats been known for a long time. All of you fanboys of xbox are probably just saying that its better because all of your friends have an xbox and you like to play with them. But really guys, this whole argument is idiotic and childish because everyone has their own opinion no matter who you are. So how bout we all just shut up about which ones better and go actually find out. P.S.- xbox fans, quit trying to make xbox sound better because no one cares. Oh and the xbox controller is hard to hold and it feels weird.
Goodbye fanboys. ;)
Stop arguing
why does everyone keep arguing about with one is better there both the same its like saying wich girl would you do if one has big boobs and the other has a nice aass both of them have puzzies and will fuq my point is both consoles are awsome stop arguing
well to those of you saying how the xbox gets the red ring bla bla ive had my xbox since 2008 no red ring while a coulple of friends of mine had the ps3 which got the yellow light of death(ohhhhhhhhhh havent heard of that have u?) haha and the ps3 controller just straight up blows!
PS3 is Better
PS3 Is Way Better Than Xbox 360 Why? Free Internet, Xbox No! Because You Have To Pay $50 a Year. If your rich. ps3 if for gentlemens ;)
good one ps3 is best imo.360 is good to.what we need is a combo ps360 dat wood b awesome
To PS3 users
You PS3 owners always seem to mention that XBOX online costs money. The only reason that is, is because it is better, while maybe the online for PS3 may have some other features. The XBOX slim got rid of Red Ring Of Death. They are both good consoles, but have some advantages over each other. So there really is no need to complain and yell at each other over which console is better. And on games such as CoD, quit saying that PS3 is better because it's a bunch of 6 y/o on XBOX, because there's such thing as a MUTE BUTTON. Some other comments on this page mentioned that the analog sticks are all over the controller and that's stupid, but its actually a lot better than the s**t which PS3 controllers have. Most of the people that I go to school with have a PS3, but I got an XBOX because I played PS2 for a while and wanted to change things up. Overall, I find XBOX to have better graphics, gameplay, exclusives, and other stuff
timmy persson
It might just be me, or is all xbox fans kind of childish?
I mean it stod the xbox console is made for kids.
Both are Excellent
I think that both consoles are great. Some of my friends own Xbox; Some PS3. I like PS3 for platformer games and racing, I like Xbox for shooters. I personally think Xbox is for Hardcore gamers, well at least that's what they show in the Christmas adds. Anyone who says Xbox is better, or PS3 is better is a fool. They are clearly giving a bios point of view.
Have both but...
Well i can see people really are one way or the other, I dont really think if your a true gamer you would choose one or the other because they both have their individual good points. A couple of things though, to the PS3 fanboys, you really do talk the wierdest shit about pads and games and speed and processing power. You really want the PS3 to urinate over the xbox but it doesnt really. It may have a blu ray player but you could pick up a better one for 80 quid at tesco. they built it so it cant run the blu ray full speed for games which is why you have to install the games and it is not optional. The graphics for the ps3 only games are good but they use trickery and lighting gimmicks to make it seem better, Heavy rain seemed amazing when i first played it but after having done a games technology degree and looking more closely it really isnt all that, The models and texturing leave a lot to be desired. Saying children play xbox is weird cuz everyone i know with just a ps3 is younger than me and its usually guys with done up cars who still live with their parents. Ps3 may not charge for internet but then again when it first came out it was like 500 quid so charging 40 a year on top of that could have been defined as rape. I have a friend who plays bf3 on the xbox and bought a ps3 to play it with his workmates. Hes ok on the xbox but came top of the table everytime on the ps3 which tells me the gamers are not as good. The xbox pad is desiged better than the Ps3 pad and purposely to be used longer, what the guy said above, i am 6'3 and have the same size hands and playing with the ps3 controller is way more uncomfortable over long periods of time, why would you want to change the position of your hands all the time i thought the idea of having the pad was hold it in one position, what the fuck is he doing with it, plus your brain doesnt work symmetrically, and hows moving your thumb left walking forward and moving your right thumb right to look up a good thing. and using a trigger is meant to simulate guns and pedals in a car yet on the ps3 they are the shoulder buttons and not very accurate. The pads from ps3 feel like they have been made by kinder egg. Most of the games on the ps3 are weird and not that exciting, gran torismo being the most boring game ive ever played in my life and the only game i literally fell asleep to whilst playing. the only advantage with the ps3 pad is the d-pad but thats for crappy old arcade games that nobody really gives a fuck about anymore unless your really nostalgic or just holding on to them to show off your ps3 pad. Loading times are slower on the ps3 if you install the games to your xbox, when i saw gta 4 loading on the ps3 there were pictures i had never seen as i was kept waiting to play. Waiting 10 mins for mgs4 to load every level was a pisstake.
Playstation stole their idea from nintendo as it was originally meant to be an addon for the snes like the sega mega cd. The ps3 online second life thing reminds me too much of second life, a bullshit replica which i guess they also stole. And which sad assholes are really going on there anyway. Mass effect is way better with kinect but poor ps3 owners lose out cuz they have no built in voice recognition. Worldwide they have sold more xbox's than ps3's and thats scary considering how many people are in japan and the fact that the xbox 360 franchise has been out nearly 8 years less than the playstation franchise. They stole the trophy idea from xbox achievements. they dont even supply a hd cable with the system, how cheap is that. and the xbox has better games library for actual gamers and not just ps3 fanboy wannabe gamers. the ps3 has internet but lets face it its not as good as sitting at a pc, or even as an iphone safari browser. and they took the one thing real ps3 lovers loved about it which was being able to install linux.
So again to all you PS3 fan boys. Your really need to stop boasting, put your one inch penises away, go play on your 21 inch lcds and stop giving everyone else shit. Real gamers own every console.
The one thing i will say about playstation is the ps vita kicks absolute ass and i preferred uncharted on that to the PS3. Nuff said.
O rly?
Im just gonna say so everyone whos complaining about 360 price and online play, The 360 is sold at a loss, its there just to get Microsofts name out there as a console creator, thats why the online has a monthly/yearly fee because when you buy an Xbox Microsoft ALREADY have made a loss I've played both and I personally prefer xbox, only because the online commununity is simply better, for me at least, everyone has a headset and everyone is willing to talk, the xbox dashboard is easy to navigate with the new apps coming out aswell along with "Inside xbox" which brings us all the up to date information on new games, E3 coverage and comediac shows, personally, I prefer the Xbox 360, hands down.
XBox is way better!!! Halo and Call Of Duty are made for it! The controls run nice and smooth!
they are equal
I think they are the same simply bcause they are both great systems and they have good graphics and that they both have great games so i thnk that they are equal
xbox is better
thanks this helped alot im writing my public speaking for class and i am refering to this information so thank you
It needs to update. Uncharted is the best gaming franchise in history so far as it is the best in graphics, gameplay and storyline. PSN also has PlayStation Home, which puts PS3 head and shoulders above the rest. PS3 is just better.
PlayStation3 has a BlueRay player. I don't have a XBox360 so I can't speak intelligently on its graphics. PlayStation3 puts holes thru the game discs after a while. It did it to Red Dead Redemption, Fallout 3, Blacksite: Area 51, Grand Theft Auto IV, and its only a matter of time better Mortal Kombat's history too! I'm saving up for XBox360 before I'm completely restricted to PlayStation2 again!
in the middle
I have been thinking for a while about getting a PS3. The Xbox is far too expensive for me. True, paying for internet on the Xbox allows you to play a safe and hack-free experience without cheap tricks. But then again, there is a load of cheap "players" online anyway no matter what game you play, whether a shooter or fighting (especially fighting). Besides, a hacker on the PS3 is barely there, and when it is, just leave.
The Xbox 360 is mainly popular for its shooter games, while the PS3 is recognized for great and intense Action/adventure entertainment. Which is what i enjoy more, again this is just an opinion comparison I've made. The only reason Xbox is more popular than PS3 is because it is mainly owned by American Companies (Microsoft) while the PS3 is owned by the Asian country (Sony). You could bet all you want that if you go to japan, you will find a PS3 in every home and barely an Xbox 360.
Game titles belonging to their own companies are recognized as the greatest. For example, for the Xbox 360 there is: Halo, Gears of War, and Left for Dead. (notice they are all shooter games) While for the PS3 there is: God of War, Uncharted, and a few anime franchises/series. (notice they are mainly action/adventure and fighting titles).
I have been always been a PS3 fan ever since I had my own PS2, the only reason I decided to switch to the Xbox 360 (which i own on this day) is because my closest friends own one as well, so I could play with them online.
As i said, this is an opinion i summed up on my own, I don't mean to cause any hate towards either console or fans, but I've been thinking of getting a PS3 for a while now, Xbox 360 is too expensive for me because of all the shit it carries, not only the games.
360 vs PS3
Are you kidding me?? Only real xbox fanboys still use the 360. PS3 is way more powerful. Its not the size of GPU/CPU/Memory that counts, its the speed. If you only play wow or sega rally then the 360 will do. children only play lame games anyway. With PS3 you can watch bluray with HD audio formats+ free ps-network etc for the same price as a shitty 360(cheap PC-hardware ala 2007). And for the game compairing..look at todays games, PS3 has equal graphics to the 360. And remember, 360 has 1 year head start.
Buying a gaming system is like buying a car. If you just want to get from point A to point B (very simple, inexpensive, mass produced), then you can get a rusted out truck that barely runs anymore (xbox360). If you want to ride in style, make a scene, and get all the women (goes 200mph+, v8 engine, 500+ hp, sexy as hell), then get an Aston Martin, BMW m6, porsche 911 G2 RS, ect. (PS3)
Xbox360 Is The Best
For all the people who like PS3 go fuck your self. If you think that PS3 is best for 1 sec I'm here to tell your wrong. The new Xbox360 kills all systems. The Xbox looks better and cost cheaper and has the longest life span. Let's just say Xbox runs better. Xbox kills PS3 online better graphics better multiplayer and streams more HD content to your screen. PS3 fans can suck my 10in Dick. B-) LOL
Ps3 Wins
ok i know how you people love different consoles and to tell you the truth i had everything and i do agree the 360 has really childish kids saying words they dont know the 360 also lags i mean like a few years when the xbox and ps3 were out the xbox was better i mean graphics the games and everything but now ps3 is pretty much better i am not saying the 360 is weak but now its not as good as ps3 anymore just face it i mean 360 has lots of problems like the ring of death when the xbox falls doesn't last as long as ps3 i mean the wii u might even be better than the 360 but kinect is good. but i recomend ps3 just look everywere online ps3 beats xbox people who are saying ps3 is weak then give it a chance because im not going to lie im 26 and i play every game on ps3 i be playing my ps3 online for hours and its addict just try ps3
I have all current generation consoles and have had all previous generation consoles so I believe my opinion should be listened to but its still my opinion and thats the bottom line. You like what you like. Everything in life especially with electronics have competition. The PS3 and the 360 are very similar if compared to the wii. Yes they do have some minor differences and some major ones also. They both have their ups and downs. Most average people who play games usually have more than one console so they can get the best of both worlds. I have both and if I had to choose it would be the PS3. Now once again its my opinion but my reason is that overall it has the best package. Free online gaming, built in blu-ray player with all games on blu-ray discs, and online web browsing just to name some perks that the 360 does not have and those 3 things are very nice to have on a console. So if you had to pick one I would recommend the PS3. Its a big debate everywhere you go about what console is better and its an argument that is always between the fan boys who are one sided on the subject. For the average and casual gamer, the PS3 is no doubt the best overall entertainment package.
Ps3 advantages:
Bluray player (there IS a difference between 1080p streaming and bluray, with bluray being the winner)
Costs less to own
Graphical capabilities (I know a lot of multiplatform games such as Call of Duty, Need for Speed, Madden, Skyrim, etc. look better on the xbox 360 but when it comes to OVERALL graphics, ps3 takes the crown with Uncharted 3 (best-looking game on console) and other great looking exclusives.
Xbox 360 advantages:
Quality/features of online service (cross-game chat, doesn't get hacked...)
free mics, don't need to buy an expensive bluetooth headset, so much more ppl will have voice chat
Kinect available as an accessory
easier to program, so most multiplatform games will look slightly better on the 360.
Just one thing there Trevor...don't you have to pay to be able to use any of that stuff online...? Don't you have to pay a little extra to add wireless capability to any older 360..? Something that has come standard for all ps3s from the start..? As for kinect and move I've played both and quite honestly I can't stand either one...I realize that the technology is just getting its start and it will get better...but at the moment I just don't have the patience for it. As for copying the xbox, just because the xbox had it first does not mean that ps3 copied it...if i had the money and time to create a gigantic network and let anyone use it for free i would do the same thing. The prices for a 360 are outrageous as well...I understand you get better graphics and almost unnoticeably better online play, but still, when deciding on my latest purchase i went with the 320 gig slim ps3 with the infamous 2 bundle, not because I'm a die-hard ps3 fan but because the 360 would cost 50$ more with less memory and i would have to pay 50$ more a year to play online as well. if the 360 prices were a bit lower and online play was free for everyone then i would more than likely be the owner of a new 360 at the moment along with my old ps3. They're both great consoles and if i ever had to pick one to stick with for good it would probably be ps3, because it has more to offer for a lot less.
1 star
the ps3 is the best ans always will be
Ps3 > Xbox
You're forgetting that Ps3 is the only console that plays Metal Gear Solid. Metal Gear kicks the ass of all Xbox games.
And to the guy that said "Xbox 360 has more storage space", that's a load of shit. The top storage memory for both the Xbox 360 and Ps3 are both 320GB. Ps3 also has an expandable memory.
Playstation controllers need to be charged only once a week while you would have to replace the batteries on a Xbox.
Ps3 controllers also have the "SIXAXIS" feature which Xbox hasn't.
And to all the people saying that "Playstation network was shut down blah blah blah" don't remember the fact that Xbox Live was shut down on several occasions.
Playstation 3 plays Blueray disks Blu-ray Discs contain up to 25 GB in storage space. It's quite self explanatory which console is better so all the Xbox fanboys out there, do yourself a favor and buy a Ps3 ;)
ps3 is the best forevur. i like the ps3 because of the good games and better conection.
Ps3 is better. Every1 just thinks Xbox is better, because they can't afford a ps3. X box comes around 150 quid while the ps3 comes at 200 quid. X box lovers can't just say X box is better. They can't afford one. Plus, Ps3 has better controller. 2 analog sticks are even while the X box ones are retarded and are all over the place. Plus, Ps3 has FREE online. Can't beleive thick people just buy X box anyway even if they have to pay. You are betrayers to Sony! Betrayers, I tell you! One day, you will beg to SONY!
Trevor, just so you know you can also go on facebook, twitter, espn, and msn from a ps3. It has a free web browser so really you can go on any site at any time. XBOX is for babies. Red ring, red ring, red ring. XBOX sucks. PS3 all day.

Derapage innovation with MoleCube
A totally new hinge that is extremely simple but technically ahead of its time
Eyewear model MoleCube is innovation in the purest sense because it brings to the world of eyewear a totally new, patented and Made in Italy hinge that is as simple as it is technically ahead of its time.
The Derapage hinge, MoleCube, consists of 3 thin sheets held together by a square pin that completely disappears inside the temple, where the hinge is connected to the front by the very first snap mechanism of its kind.
Derapage MoleCube:
-uses a limited number of components which reduces the production stages to make frame manufacturing environment friendly;
-is just one square-section screw, a tiny cube/nut is inserted in and flush with the temple structure;
-the above supports the entire structure without any adjustment or unscrewing;
-uses thin sheets of steel which undergo either photochemical machining or laser cutting processes to create the Derapage's traditional streamlined style;
-a temple flex system makes it ultra-comfortable without the use of springs; it is combined with a stop-hinge effect for opening and closing the temples;
- extremely linear, understated and conceptually perfected design.
Derapage MoleCube eyewear is made entirely in metal with a single-sheet front in a metallic color or a one-piece front in two colors.

Highway 1 near Horseshoe Hill Road in Bolinas was closed for two hours Friday afternoon after a semi truck jack-knifed, completely blocking the roadway.
California Highway Patrol spokesman Andrew Barclay said the truck jack-knifed across the road around 2:15 p.m. after the driver was unable to make a turn.
"Part of the vehicle went off the roadway and the rest (was) blocking the other lanes," Barclay said.
He said no one was injured.
A towing company reached the scene at around 3:30 p.m. and was able to clear the roadway by about 4 p.m. Drivers were advised to avoid the blocked highway and use Sir Francis Drake Boulevard or Panoramic Highway instead.
"There (was) no easy way around this," Barclay said.

With the eco-craze becoming less of a fad and more of a way of life, it's not surprising that companies are creating and releasing more accessible environmentally-friendly products. By encouraging greener living, they are also supplying growing demand. Small-scale solarized innovations are just one way of bringing green technology into every facet of our lives.
