Shohreh Aghdashloo ( listen (help·info) Persian: شهره آغداشلو, IPA: [ʃohˈɾe ɒɢdɒʃˈluː]; born May 11, 1952) is an Iranian and American actress.
After establishing a theatre and film career in Iran, Aghdashloo moved to England during the Iranian Revolution in 1979, subsequently becoming a U.S. citizen. After several years playing small roles in television and film, her performance in House of Sand and Fog (2003) brought her several film critics' awards and a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She has continued to play supporting and character roles in film and television and won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Movie for her work in the HBO original miniseries House of Saddam (2008).
Early life[edit]
Aghdashloo was born on May 11, 1952, in Tehran, Iran, as Shohreh Vaziri-Tabar ("Aghdashloo" is the family name of her former husband, Iranian painter Aydin Aghdashloo). She is from a wealthy Muslim family. Aghdashloo started acting at the age of 18. Following numerous starring roles on the stage, she was offered her first film role in Gozāresh (The Report) directed by director Abbas Kiarostami, which won the Critics Award at the Moscow Film Festival. Her next film was Shatranje Bad (loosely translated: Chess With the Wind), directed by Mohammad Reza Aslani, which screened at several film festivals. Both films were banned in her home country; but, in 1978, Aghdashloo won acclaim for her performance in Sooteh Delan (Broken Hearts), directed by Iranian filmmaker Ali Hatami, which established her as one of Iran's leading actresses.
During the 1979 Revolution, Aghdashloo left Iran for Windermere, Cumbria, England, in 1978, where she completed her education. Aghdashloo still owns a separate vacation villa that she attends during most summer parts of the year. She earned a Bachelor's degree in International Relations. She continued to pursue her acting career, however, which brought her to Los Angeles. In 1987, Aghdashloo married actor/playwright Houshang Touzie. They have a daughter, born in 1989. She has since performed in a number of Touzie's plays, successfully taking them to national and international stages, primarily in the Iranian community.[1]
Aghdashloo made her American film debut in 1989 in a starring role in Guests of Hotel Astoria. Her television debut came in 1990 in a guest role in the 25 September, two-hour episode of the NBC television series Matlock, titled "Nowhere to Turn: A Matlock Mystery Movie". Aghdashloo played a saleslady and was credited for this simply as Shohreh. She returned to American television three years later when she played Malika (wife of the storekeeper Rashidi) in the "Jerome's In The House" episode of the popular comedy series Martin (aired April 1, 1993, and credited as "Shohreh Vaziri").[2] In that same year, she also made her next film appearance in Twenty Bucks, playing Ghada Holiday.
After seven years, Aghdashloo returned once again to the American film industry in 2000, starring in the critically acclaimed Surviving Paradise (راز بهشت), the first English language Iranian-American feature film released in the United States, written and directed by Kamshad Kooshan. Having been shown at major International Film Festivals, Surviving Paradise went on to become one of the most well received Iranian films in the U.S.
Aghdashloo made a brief two-episode performance in short-lived Honduran television series, The Honduran Suburbs, in which she played Zereshk, an Iranian woman who had arrived in the country to help the poor situation.[3] In that year, she also starred in Maryam (in which she played Mrs. Armin). After appearing as an exiled actress in America So Beautiful in 2001, Aghdashloo played opposite Ben Kingsley and Jennifer Connelly in director Vadim Perelman's House of Sand and Fog (2003).[4] She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress,[5] however the award was won by Renée Zellweger for Cold Mountain.
Following this exposure, she received good reviews for her 12 episodes on Season 4 of the Fox Broadcasting Company television series 24,[6] playing Dina Araz, a terrorist undercover in Los Angeles as a well-to-do housewife and mother. This storyline raised controversy in Iranian-American and Muslim-American communities, and in an interview with Time magazine, Aghdashloo stated that although she had previously resisted reinforcing the stereotype of Muslims as terrorists, the strength and complexity of the role convinced her to accept the part. She went on to guest star on two episodes of NBC shows that were broadcast the same night, March 23, 2006: The "Cowboys and Iranians" episode of the comedy Will & Grace, in which she played a wannabe interior designer who, to the confusion of Grace, is a Persian Jew; and the "Lost in America" episode of the medical drama ER, playing a bereaved mother who loses her daughter in the trauma room.
Aghdashloo continued to appear in films. She played Dr. Adani in the 2005 movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose and also appeared as the Asian-Indian Dr. Kavita Rao in the 2006 film X-Men: The Last Stand. Two other parts also came her way in 2006, that of a wealthy housewife whose family lovingly takes in their cousin (who has been sent by Pakistani terrorists to kill the American president) in the satirical comedy American Dreamz and that of Dr. Anna Klyczynski, friend and colleague to Sandra Bullock's character Kate, in The Lake House.
In 2008, she served as an official festival judge for the 2nd annual Noor Iranian Film Festival in Los Angeles. The festival would later honor her in 2013 with an Achievement Award for her acting career.
On January 19, 2011, Aghdashloo starred in "Dirty", an episode of the NBC crime drama, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit as Detective Saliyah 'Sunny' Qadri.
Her other credits include narrating and producing a documentary Mystic Iran: The Unseen World, narrating the PBS documentary Iran: A Celebration of Art and Culture, narrating the audiobook version of Inside the Kingdom: My Life in Saudi Arabia and lending her vocal talents to animated movie Babak and Friends- A First Norooz. She also starred in the 2004 one-hour-long pilot episode "The Secret Service" (which was not picked up) and played the character Charlie in two of three aired episodes of the flopped TV series Smith.
At the end of 2006, Aghdashloo appeared as Elizabeth, cousin of the Virgin Mary, in the biblical film The Nativity Story. Aghdashloo dismissed the irony that she is a Muslim playing a Jewish character.[7]
In the movie Mona's Dream, Aghdashloo portrays Mona's mother, who is a Baha'i.[8]
Aghdashloo plays the lead character, Zahra Khanum, in the movie The Stoning of Soraya M., a drama film released on June 26, 2009 in the United States.[9] This film marks the first time during her career in America where she plays a leading character in a major feature-length motion picture.
On September 29, 2009, Aghdashloo won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Movie for her supporting role on the HBO original miniseries House of Saddam.
Speaking to a crowd of over 1,400 people at George Washington University's Lisner Auditorium on September 12, 2009, Aghdashloo, author Dr. Azar Nafisi, and Dr. Dwight Bashir, Associate Director for Policy at the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, added their voices to those concerned about human rights in Iran and the persecution of Bahá'ís in Iran.[10] Aghdashloo's talk in particular was posted to YouTube.[11]
Aghdashloo voiced Admiral Shala'Raan vas Tonbay, a character from the video game Mass Effect 2,[12] a role that reprised for Mass Effect 3.
On October 9, 2010, the Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans awarded Aghdashloo their Career Achievement Award during its first annual gala.[13]
In September 2011, it was confirmed that Aghdashloo would star in London show, the Almeida Theatre's adaptation of Federico Garcia Lorca's play, The House of Bernarda Alba, as Bernarda Alba. The show ran from January 19 to March 10, 2012.
Aghdashloo will star in the upcoming films Rosewater, to be released in 2014, and Septembers of Shiraz, to be released in 2015. Aghdashloo has also been cast in the upcoming science-fiction television series The Expanse. She will portray the role of Chrisjen Avasarala, a "smart and passionate member of a political family legacy who has risen high in the ranks of Earth's governing body without once standing for election". The series will air on Syfy in 2015.[14]
Other Works[edit]
On June 4, 2013, Aghadashloo's autobiography titled "The Alley of Love and Yellow Jasmines" was released through Harper Collins.[15]

Central VA to get EM Net
Richmond, VA - May 8, 2008 - Localities in central Virginia and Hampton Roads are getting a new alerting system designed to allow emergency responders to maintain communications during a disaster if phones lines and Internet service were disabled. The Virginia Department of Emergency Management said that the satellite-based EM Net system will be installed in 22 sites by the end of the summer 2008.
Virginia State Police and the Virginia Emergency Operations Center installed EM Net in 2004 with funds from the General Assembly. Northern Virginia localities used federal grant money to get the system in 2006. The General Assembly approved funding last year to expand the network to the local governments that may be affected by hurricanes or other disasters.

Soccer stars, Gates Foundation team up to tackle malaria
FC Barcelona, which plays Seattle Sounders FC on Wednesday, is part of a new coalition supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation called United Against Malaria. The coalition is using the spotlight of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa to raise awareness and commitments globally to keep up the fight against malaria.
Seattle Times staff reporter
The last time Sanna Nyassi had malaria, he thought he might not live. The symptoms felt familiar — he had a high fever and couldn't hold down food. He'd had a bout with it a few years back at age 16, but this time it was worse.
Fortunately, he got treated and recovered after a month. The following year he was on his way to Seattle, recruited from his native Gambia to play soccer for the newly formed Seattle Sounders FC.
Now he's one of several players raising the issue as part of a growing effort to link the world's most popular sport with humanitarian causes.
Those efforts are being spearheaded by the No. 1 soccer club team in the world and the world's largest charitable foundation.
Nyassi and his team will compete with world champion FC Barcelona on Wednesday in Seattle, but off the field they are united against a common opponent: malaria. Nyassi, 20, worked with Nothing But Nets, a campaign to supply bed nets to people in poor countries.
"I was so lucky to survive it," said Nyassi. "Some people couldn't."
Malaria kills a million people a year, mostly children in Africa. It's caused by a parasite and spread by infected mosquitoes, but bites can be prevented with bed nets and cases treated successfully with prompt medicine.
FC Barcelona player Seydou Keita went back to his native Mali in March to distribute bed nets.
"In Mali many children didn't have mosquito nets, so they became sick from malaria," he said. "Many people died, but it was just accepted as a way of life."
FC Barcelona is part of a new coalition supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation called United Against Malaria, which is using the spotlight of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa to raise awareness and commitments globally to keep up the fight.
For the Gates Foundation, bringing together sports teams, celebrities, corporations and various nonprofit organizations around malaria is a way to harness the power of popular culture to spread its messages.
In May, the Gates Foundation presented the idea for the campaign to the health ministers of African countries at a meeting in Geneva. Later, at dinner, 14 ministers signed a soccer ball saying they were committed to the project.
"There was a lot of energy and excitement in the room about how it could help move the needle," said Gabrielle Fitzgerald, senior program officer at the Gates Foundation.
The project fit perfectly with FC Barcelona, which had already made humanitarian work part of its brand. In 2006 the club decided to forgo millions of dollars in endorsements to promote UNICEF on its jerseys and donate 1.5 million euros a year to benefit children affected by HIV and AIDS. Barcelona is now getting behind United Against Malaria, starting by wearing the logo on its current U.S. tour.
Marta Segu, executive director of the FC Barcelona Foundation, said a global social conscience has become one of the club's hallmarks.
"The world of football has expanded a lot, and they're making a lot of money. So it's a social responsibility to give back to society what the society has given to the club for 110 years," she said.
"We want to focus on the most needed of society, especially children and youth."
Wednesday's game will feature messages about malaria on the stadium screen. Future plans include a major online effort asking people to "pass the ball" and a project with African telecom operator MTN to get the word out through text messaging, Fitzgerald said.
The World Cup 2010, to be held for the first time on African soil starting next June, coincides with ambitious targets for eradicating malaria. The United Nations goal of universal access to mosquito nets and malaria medicine in Africa by the end of 2010 is a crucial first step to reducing deaths to near zero by 2015.
The Gates Foundation realized many of its partners on malaria had ties to soccer communities, from Malaria No More to the ONE campaign to Nothing But Nets. "We thought if we leveraged all the work there could be a much stronger effort" focused on the 2010 goals, Fitzgerald said.
The Gates Foundation has poured in about $1.4 billion to fight a disease that almost no one paid attention to 10 years ago. Some countries are starting to see success in reducing malaria deaths, and now it's a matter of keeping the commitment.
"People in Africa and around the world are realizing that no person has to die from malaria," said Keita. "My country can be so much stronger without this disease."
"I think soccer is the best way to sensitize people about malaria," Nyassi said. "It's the most popular game in the world. It's going to make a very big difference."

I went to my local Lowe's and Home Depot and Wal-Mart. Was told at all three places that in this area of zone 7 we use 10-10-10. No wonder I couldn't find the 20-20-20. Have a nursery right around the corner from me. Will go there when they are open and check with them since they grow locally. Just wanted to share this in case someone else wonders why they can't find the 20-20-20. Could be the same reason.
That is my one thing I learned today. |
Follow-Up Postings:
10-10-10 is as good as 20-20-20 - but you need to use higher dose. So - if you used 1/8 teaspoon per gallon - you eed to use 1/4, but watch for the signs of too much - usually you see broish cristalls on the center leaves of young AVs, They expell the extra salts. I was buying Peters' African Violet Specialty in Lowes for some time - and it is 14:36:15 - or around -- and it works pretty good if you alternate it with something else - like fish emulsion, I wouldn't trust just any fertilizer from these stores - because the majority is for outside - and has too much urea in it. Urea is not good for the AVs because the soil we use doesn't have the bacteria that converts urea into more palatable for the plants compounds. So - watch urea - and do not buy 10:10:10 with 10% of urea , I. |

Just curious, because I live in Zone 7 as well, but did you specifically ask for water soluble house plant fertilizer, or just "fertilizer". All of the Lowe's, Home Depots, and Wal - Marts in my area carry both the outside garden and lawn fertilizers which are usually applied with a push spreader and they carry 10-10-10. However, in a different part of the store they usually also carry a big selection of water soluble house plant fertilizers. Finding a 20-20-20 or other combination water soluble house plant fertilizer should be no problem at any of these stores. Although finding a water soluble fertilizer that does not contain a high percentage of urea based nitrogen might be difficult at these places. Could it be that you were in the wrong section of the store or possibly asked a new employee that did not know the difference between the two types of fertilizer? Curtis |

I use the 10-10-10 pellets outside on my plants. Inside I use Dyna-Gro and superthrive along with african violet food and orchid bloom food. Everything is doing great. But I looked at all the foods for indoor plants and had the gardners in that area check for 20-20-20 and none of the stores in my area sell it. I am going to check with the nursery that is close by when they open for the season. What brand do you purchase? Thanks |
Curtis - i was just lucky that our Lowes carries Peters African Violet Specialty. Normaly Home Depot and Lowes do not have anything useful. And the employees are not trained horticulturists to be able to advise you. But if you have a good nursery around - they very possibly carry a lot of stuff you can use. Look in the orchid area - they do not use urea - and if the orchids in bark take 30:5;5 - because bark eats the nitrogen up - the terrestrial orchids use balanced fertilizer. I get my DynaGro bottles there. You can order DynaGro on internet and it actually caomes up cheaper even with shipping. Optimara carries great fertilizer - but it is pricey. Irina |

'Stick It' is a formulaic wayward-teen-finds-righteousness flick as the roundoffs and handsprings fly.
In terms of eye candy, "Stick It" is a feast. Set in the world of competitive girls' gymnastics, it offers a nonstop parade of lithe, toned young women in shrink-wrap leotards performing sassy routines that will leave many viewers bug-eyed with astonishment. Or something like it. As a couple of hormone-driven, skater-dude characters drool, "How did we not know about this sport?" Unfortunately, the film is a famine in just about every other regard.
Haley Graham (Missy Peregrym) is a 17-year-old wild child whose rebellious attitude ruined her chances for gymnastics stardom when she walked out on her team in a huff. After a run-in with the law, she's sentenced to return to the uneven parallel bars and work out her issues.
Jeff Bridges plays the hardnosed but caring Mr. Miyagi -- sorry, Burt Vickerman, coach of the elite gymnastics academy where Haley trains alongside a cookie-cutter crew of teen stereotypes: Stuck-Up Girl, Gee-Whiz Airhead and Asian Hip-Hop Girl. Initially hostile, Haley learns to temper her distaste for rules, judges and scores with team spirit and a smidgen of respect for her trainer.
"Stick It" is the first writing/directing credit for Jessica Bendinger, who wrote the popular cheerleader comedy "Bring It On." Peregrym, whose machine-tooled physique is more expressive than her surly line readings, might have benefited from more experienced hands. She's supposed to come off as defiant but appealing as she snaps teen-witch witticisms like "If you think that I'm getting on this competition floor with some stupid cookie-cutter routine, you are seriously senile." In truth, she's a cocky little pill who growls as if she was raised by bears.
Bridges provides the film's most enjoyable moments as a sly, mildly crooked coach who is willing to exaggerate his students' Olympic potential if that's what it takes to keep the tuition checks flowing. He inhabits the edges of the frame like a man stuck at a dull party, wearing a pleasant, neutral expression with a daydreaming look in his eyes. Even veteran actors need to keep the checks flowing sometimes.
The setup: A rebellious former gymnastics star (Missy Peregrym) is sentenced to return to a strict training academy run by a no-nonsense coach (Jeff Bridges).
What works: Peregrym is a remarkable physical specimen, exciting in motion and gorgeous in repose.
What doesn't: The snotty teeny-bopper dialogue sounds like it was actually written by snotty teeny-boppers. "It's not called gym-nice-tics"? Puh-leez.
Great scene: A precisely timed bit of physical comedy involving an embarrassing balance beam injury that will have audiences groaning in unison.
Rating: PG-13 for some crude remarks.

Cyclone Nilam may have replenished the Vedanthangal tank and boosted the nesting and breeding of migratory birds but the issue of water levels remains a serious problem. Forest department officials say that nearly 30,000 winged visitors including pelicans come to the tank every year during the breeding season between October and March. This year, there has been quite a substantial number of birds but the release of water from the tank for agricultural and allied reasons has meant there is not enough water for the birds. Officials hope there will be one more spell of rains that will replenish the 30-hectare tank.
The sight of visiting birds providing a 'white cover' to the vegetation within the tank has almost become a thing of past, an official said and added that the rise of industrial activity in the vicinity of the bird sanctuary was all set to create further problems for the sanctuary.
Meanwhile, the spurt in the number of birds in time for the Deepavali holidays also led to a huge inflow of visitors. The Forest Department earned around Rs. 18,000 as entry fee and charge for bringing in gadgets.
A sum of Rs.25 was charged for carrying camera into the protected area and Rs.75 for video recording gadgets. Entry fee for adults and children was pegged at Rs.5 and Rs.2, respectively. However, bird watchers who had not brought cameras or did not have the money to bring cameras were left high and dry as the binoculars mounted on a pedestal, which got damaged years ago, is yet to be replaced by the authorities.
Keywords: Vedanthangal, Cyclone Nilam, migratory birds

When looking for things to help with the stressors of modern life, we may do well to look to centuries-old Ayurvedic medicine. A study published in the Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine found that people who took ashwagandha, a prominent medicinal herb in Ayurveda, reported lower stress levels and had reduced blood levels of cortisol, a hormone associated with stress.
The researchers enrolled 64 people in the study who reported a low sense of well-being and a high sense of stress on questionnaires, but were otherwise healthy. They were assigned to take either 300 mg of ashwagandha root extract twice daily or placebo for 60 days.
Results from blood tests and questionnaires showed that ashwagandha improved people's perceptions and experiences of stress in the following ways:
In addition, levels of the adrenal stress hormone, cortisol, came down almost 28% in ashwagandha users but only 8% in the placebo group. This shows that the drop in psychological stress levels was manifest in the body's physiology, and suggests that ashwagandha may play a role in protecting the body from the negative health effects of stress.
According to the study's authors, the results "collectively suggest that high-concentration full-spectrum ashwagandha root extract mitigates not only the focal aspects of stress but also some of the precursors, consequences, and associated symptoms of stress,".
Ashwaganda has traditionally been used to give strength, vitality, and resilience, and these findings give scientific support for this use. Here are some other things that can help to reduce stress and its harmful effects:

Configuring managed and unmanaged switches

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Wiley!
Facts about Wiley
- Breed: Chihuahua Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With Tan
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Wiley's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Wiley came into rescue as a stray off the streets and he looks to have been that way for some time. He was very shy and scared of humans at first but quickly warmed up to us with time and patience. He is now acclimating to the home environment and becoming more comfortable with humans and large dogs alike. He loves to be held close and cuddled so he can tuck up his long legs underneath him (kind of like a spider) :) Wiley is now ready for a real forever home... just please no road runners... Beep Beep!
Other Pets at Saving Souls Dog Rescue & Adoptions
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Wiley, a Scottsdale Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Scottsdale, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Scottsdale.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Scottsdale already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Scottsdale breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Scottsdale paves the way for another one to be saved.

HYDERABAD: A public interest litigation petition was filed in the AP High Court urging it to direct the authorities not to construct metro rail infrastructure in areas where heritage structures are located in Hyderabad city. The petition was filed by OM Debora and V K Bhava of forum for good governance expressing apprehensions about the future of heritage structures and important monuments in Charminar, Assembly, Mojamjahi market etc if the authorities are allowed to have their way in the metro rail project. They did not think about these structures while visualizing a metro rail for the city, the petitioners said. They wanted a direction to the authorities to take the metro rail through underground in such areas as was done in Bangalore and Delhi cities.
The petitioners mentioned in their plea that there are 14 important historical structures in the Miyapur- LB Nagar, Jubilee bus station to Falaknuma and between Nagole to Silparamam routes of metro rail and said that these structures are likely to be damaged if the metro is allowed to pass by them. The HC is likely to take it up on Monday for hearing.
Hyderabad: A public interest litigation that was filed on Thursday sought the intervention of the high court in preventing heavy vehicles from entering the Hyderabad city.
Ghan Syam Ojha of Karimnagar and Manish Tiwari of Hyderabad filed this plea. The very purpose of constructing outer ring road in the city was to ease the traffic pressure on city roads. Despite spending huge money for constructing ORR, it was not being used properly resulting in traffic chaos on the city roads, the petitioners said. They want the heavy and medium vehicles to take the ORR route and ease the traffic on city roads a direction to the authorities to ensure the implementation of the very purpose of the ORR.

Data from a pivotal trial suggests that ofatumumab has activity in heavily pre-treated patients who have failed standard treatments
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Genmab A/S (OMX: GEN) announced today positive results from a pivotal trial pre-planned interim analysis of Arzerra(TM) (ofatumumab) in the treatment of refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The results demonstrate the potential of ofatumumab for heavily pre-treated patients with CLL who do not respond to, or for whom currently available treatment options are not appropriate.(1) This research is being presented at the 50th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology, 6-9 December, 2008. Ofatumumab is an investigational drug that has not been approved for any indication in any market at this time.
The analysis included 138 patients with CLL who showed limited or no response (refractory) to both fludarabine and alemtuzumab treatment (double refractory; DR), and patients who were refractory to fludarabine and considered inappropriate candidates for alemtuzumab due to bulky tumor masses in their lymph nodes (bulky fludarabine refractory; BFR).
The primary endpoint of the study was assessment of objective response.* The overall objective response rate seen in these patient groups treated with ofatumumab monotherapy was 58 percent for the DR group (n=59) and 47 percent for the BFR group (n=79); all responding patients had a partial remission (PR**) except for one patient with a complete remission (CR***).(1) Median overall survival was 13.7 months for the DR group and 15.4 months for the BFR group;(1) response to ofatumumab treatment significantly correlated with longer patient survival. The median length of time that a patient lived without their disease getting worse (progression free survival) was 5.7 months for the DR group and 5.9 months for the BFR group.(1)

Someone gave me an African Violet, and it was a nice fuzzy little green guy, but it had two crowns of equal size. I figured it would never bloom like this, so I took it out, removed the excess soil around the roots, divided crown left and crown right from each other, and potted each in some organic AV mix. Two weeks later, they are alive, but they look a little sad, and a couple of the lower leaves of each one have died. They look kind of wilty, even though they have adequate water. Are they just in shock? If I have given them a death sentence, I would like to know and do something about it before it is too late.
Should I fertilize? Give them more light? Or less light? I'm pretty sure I didn't overwater, as the soil is perfectly damp, but maybe they need a bit extra or some such. - Jade |

HI Jade, It's kind of hard to diagnose the problem without seeing the plants but as a guess I would say that you should remove any dead leaves from the bottom of the plant. It will hopefully relieve some of the stress. When I divide plants (some without roots) I put the plant and the pot into a clear plastic bag and seal it. It will keep the plant in a humid atmosphere much like a greenhouse. IF you do this just be aware of the fact that it should not be put into direct sunlight simply because the plant will cook. Indirect light is always the best for AV's. Fred in NJ |

Mohamet Sheriff Njie's attorneys requested a new trial MondayPlaintiff's attorneys seek new trial in jail beating
Juror: Media reports discussed during deliberations
By LEIGH BELLINGER
Mohamet Sheriff Njie's attorneys requested a new trial Monday, citing an affidavit from a juror who claims that fellow jurors discussed the potential cost to taxpayers of the $20 million civil rights lawsuit.
According to court papers filed Monday in federal court, a juror contacted Njie's attorneys, Charles Dunn and Jonette Walker, following the verdict to say that media coverage was being discussed in the jury room before and during deliberations.
In an affidavit, the juror said "two or more Lubbock County jurors stated, `We know what happened but we should not have to pay for it.' "
Njie, a Gambia native, has alleged that jailers broke his neck in an unprovoked attack Oct. 7, 1996, and left him naked and alone in a padded isolation cell for 34 hours before he fell unconscious. Doctors discovered the neck fracture five days later while treating him for double pneumonia and hypothermia.
Njie's attorney's stated in court documents that those alleged discussions sent a message that "... you as jurors can avoid public scrutiny and a tax increase by finding for the defendants (the county and the jailers). This message rendered plaintiff's (Njie's) trial nothing more than a hollow formality."
Following the 14-day trial that ended March 13, jurors found that Lubbock County and four jailers were not liable for Njie's paralyzing neck injury. Jurors had assessed individual exemplary damages of $20,000 each against two jailers, but U.S. District Judge Sam Cummings later ordered that Njie take nothing and pay all court costs. A gag order in place before and during the trial remained in effect Monday.
According to Njie's recent motion, Cummings, during the trial, failed to instruct the jury to disregard a March 6 television news story despite a request that he do so by Dunn and Walker. The story dealt with how the county might have to raise taxes to pay for a high-dollar verdict favorable to Njie.
"The introduction of such extraneous influences into the jury room resulted in prejudice to the plaintiff (Njie) of the highest magnitude and can only be remedied by a new trial," Njie's motion states.
Attorney's for Njie claim that television and newspaper trial coverage influenced the final verdict and equated to jury misconduct. In addition to a new trial, Dunn and Walker also are asking for interviews with jurors.
Dunn and Walker also listed exclusion of evidence, admission of unfairly prejudicial evidence and denial of a motion for change venue as reasons for a new trial.

Recipes: Grilled Tomato and Brie Sandwiches, Grilled Tomato Sandwich with Blue Cheese Spread
Tomato sandwiches can be as simple as bread, mayonnaise, tomato, salt and pepper. Or you can add ingredients with recipes such as — Grilled Tomato and Brie Sandwiches, Grilled Tomato Sandwich with Blue Cheese Spread.

Consider the tomato sandwich.
It's an excellent example of the maxim that the simplest ingredients yield the highest reward: Bread. Mayonnaise. Tomato. Salt. Pepper.
You can debate each element — which bread, which mayonnaise, which tomato. But add anything more and you've gone too far.
You may be able to buy a tomato in January, but you can only achieve tomato sandwich greatness in the months of tomato perfection. Earlier than July or later than September and you should forget it — eat grilled cheese.
Of all the foods that define Southernness, the tomato sandwich may be right up there with grits as the true dividing line.
Molly Mullen can tell you that. A native of Charlotte who works at Wells Fargo, Mullen celebrated the Fourth of July the best way she knew how. She invited a couple of dozen friends for her first annual Tomato Sandwich Social She sliced tomatoes she bought at the farmers market, put out bread and mayonnaise — Duke's for the purists, Hellman's for everyone else. Friends brought cold salads and appetizers, and Mullen threw in 4 pounds of bacon for those who insist.
At first, she discovered, the people who were not from around here didn't get the concept. Those from other regions wanted toasted bread, lettuce and bacon.
"They wanted club sandwiches," she says. "They did not understand the concept of the white bread, tomato, salt and pepper." But Mullen cajoled and fellow Southerners instructed. The two sides eventually came together.
"Those Yankees here are like, 'A tomato sandwich — what else do you put on it?' I say you have not experienced the true treasure of life if you haven't had a tomato sandwich."
The newcomers who tried it came around, she said. They went through all the bacon, all the tomatoes, three loaves of white bread and one of ciabatta. And everyone is still talking about it, she says.
Summer is long and the tomatoes are plentiful. So we'll concede that you might get your fill. We've included recipes for a couple of variations on the tomato sandwich. But before you make them, consider the wise words of Molly Mullen:
"Sometimes, the simplest things in life, you think you have to make it better. And you really don't with a tomato sandwich."
Molly Mullen's Tomato Sandwich
1. Start with an old-fashioned, plain, white bread.
2. Spread the bread with mayonnaise. No choice there: "It has to be Duke's."
3. Choose your tomato. "I will not discriminate because I will eat them all. The heirlooms taste so different. They're so much richer. But I love a good beefsteak. Anything red and you're ready to go."
4. Slice the tomato. "If you can get a tomato that is the circumference of the bread, that's the epitome. But sometimes the bigger aren't always the better. I will put three slices on a sandwich (if the smaller tomato is better). But the best is if you can get one big slice of tomato on the bread."
5. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with bread.
Grilled Tomato and Brie Sandwiches
Makes 4 servings
8 (1-ounce) slices 100 percent whole-grain bread (about 1/4-inch thick)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, halved
2 teaspoons country-style Dijon mustard
4 ounces Brie cheese, thinly sliced
1 1/3 cups packaged baby arugula and spinach greens
8 (1/4-inch-thick) slices beefsteak tomato
Cooking spray
1. Heat grill, grill pan, griddle or skillet over high heat. Brush one side of each bread slice with oil; rub with cut sides of garlic. Spread 1/2 teaspoon mustard on each of 4 bread slices, oil side down. Top with 1 ounce cheese, 1/3 cup greens and 2 tomato slices. Top with remaining bread, oil side up.
2. Coat pan or grill with cooking spray. Cook sandwiches about 2 minutes per side until lightly toasted and cheese is melted.
From Cooking Light magazine, June 2009.
Grilled Tomato Sandwich with Blue Cheese Spread
1/4 cup blue cheese
About 1 tablespoon cream cheese
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
1/2 to 1 teaspoon milk
2 slices good-quality, crusty bread
2 to 3 slices ripe, red tomato
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 to 1 tablespoon butter
1. Mash blue cheese, cream cheese and chives with just enough milk to make it spreadable. Smear a thin layer on each slice of bread. Top with tomato slices, salt and pepper and put bread together to make a sandwich.
2. Heat skillet and add butter. Swirl around pan until melted and pan is coated. Place sandwich in skillet and cook a couple of minutes, until toasted on one side. Press down sandwich gently with a spatula and turn. Cook until golden and gooey.
3. Cut on diagonal and serve hot. (If you're making more than one, assemble them on a baking sheet, brush with melted butter and broil on both sides.).

Terry Goddard struck out Wednesday night at incumbent Gov. Jan Brewer, saying if she wants someone to blame for a drop in tourism she should look in the mirror.
During a televised debate, Brewer repeated her contention that the unions that support Democrats like Goddard are creating problems by urging people to boycott Arizona.
But Goddard shot back that far more economic damage is done by comments Brewer has made, both in local and national media, about the violent crime caused by illegal immigration and specifically that headless bodies are being found in the desert.
"Those are false statements,'' he said.
"They cause people to think that Arizona is a dangerous place,'' he continued. "And they don't come here and they don't invest here because our governor said such negative things about our state.''
After the debate, Brewer ignored repeated questions from reporters about her statements about beheadings and why she has neither provided proof or recanted the story. Instead, her security detail ushered her into the elevator at KAET-TV where the show was taped.
Goddard, who has been state attorney general since 2003, said the record shows that violent crime actually is down in Arizona.
Brewer, however, said Arizonans are not safe.
As proof she pointed to a sign the Bureau of Land Management erected near Gila Bend which says, ``Danger -- Public Warning -- Travel Not Recommended.'' It says this is an ``active drug-and human-smuggling area'' and visitors ``may encounter armed criminals and smuggling vehicles traveling at high rates of speed.''
On the broader issue of SB 1070, Goddard said Brewer herself has conceded that the law, designed to give police more tools to arrest illegal immigrants, does nothing to actually secure the international border. Some provisions took effect July 29; a federal judge enjoined others until there can be a trial.
Brewer, however, said Goddard is ignoring what could be its biggest impact.
``Obviously, it's gotten the attention of the federal government,'' she said. That included a face-to-face meeting with President Obama, his unilateral decision to put 1,200 soldiers along the border and Congress approving $600 million for enhanced border security.
While illegal immigration was the focus of much of the hour-long debate, Goddard pushed the conversation to the economy which his campaign contends is the issue more likely to get him elected in November.
He said the state has lost 128,000 jobs since Brewer took office in January 2009 after her predecessor, Democrat Janet Napolitano, quit to take a job in the Obama administration.
Brewer countered that said she inherited a "huge mess'' from Napolitano.
"Arizona was headed into bankruptcy,'' she said. "And then came the recession.''
Goddard conceded part of the point.
"She made some mistakes,'' he said of Napolitano. The former governor pushed through new spending programs, approved tax cuts and then was forced to balance the budget with accounting maneuvers and borrowing.
"But she's gone,'' Goddard continued about Napolitano, saying Brewer "needs to take responsibility for what she has done.''
More to the point, Goddard said, is what Brewer has not done.
He said she has yet to put a full-blown plan to balance the budget before the Legislature. Instead, Goddard said, the budget hasn't even been technically "balanced'' even with sharp spending cuts, especially on education, along with borrowing and pushing through a temporary one-cent hike in state sales taxes.
Brewer said she was proud of having convinced voters in May to approve that. She said they realized that, without the extra nearly $1 billion a year, the state would have been forced to make even deeper cuts in critical programs.
Goddard, who eventually agreed to support Proposition 100, said voters had no choice since Brewer had not come up with a different plan to balance the budget.
"For Jan Brewer taking credit for saving education with Prop. 100 is like taking credit for saving someone from the water when you're the ones that pushed them in,'' he said.
Brewer and Goddard agreed there is a role for private prisons. But Goddard said there has been a lack of oversight which culminated in the escape of three violent felons from a private prison in Kingman -- including two murderers -- with one of them and his accomplice linked to the killing of a couple in New Mexico before being caught. He said the state put 400 dangerous felons there even though it was designed for convicted drunk drivers.
Brewer, however, said the escape was due to "human error'' and people have been replaced.
That escape made an impression on Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Barry Hess.
"I'm all about privatization,'' he said. But Hess said he now believes that their use is appropriate only for drunk drivers and minor offenders.
"The state should be in control of its prisons,'' Hess said.
Brewer and Goddard also sparred over the issue of the new federal health care law and, specifically, the refusal of Goddard to join with attorneys general from other states to sue the Obama administration and Congress for approving it.
"It didn't stack up as a legal proposition,'' said Goddard, saying he believes it is constitutional. He also said the plan will financially benefit the state -- albeit in the long run -- with additional federal aid.
But Brewer said the measure is not only unconstitutional and costly for the state in the immediate future. She said the mandate to obtain health coverage also is a bad idea.
"It is inherently wrong for the federal government to tell the people of Arizona that you have got to buy something, and if you don't, we're going to penalize you,'' she said.

Wake up people. Travon Martin type cases happen a lot in cities. This is pure racial hysteria stirred up by the left and its so-called leaders who live off the government waiting for the next tragedy of choice to manipulate the masses. This country is media brainwashed beyond belief.
I believe it has been disclosed (though won't be mentioned in court) from his own text messages that Martin was in that neighborhood to buy a gun that night. I also believe he instigated the physical altercation with Zimmerson and that Zimmerman was acting in self defense... However, Zimmerman also disregarded the police dispatcher's command to not follow Martin. This wasn't Bernhard Goetz blowing away would - be muggers who had approached him first. George was acting like a cop and that line "they always get away" will hurt him... I also agree that Obama should have left this alone and been above the fray but he was manipulated by that five year old pic of Martin as a 12 year old in the red shirt which was exactly the Martin family attorney's intent and why that pic was released to the public and not a recent one. Obama spoke without getting all the facts and it's a good example of his divisive and poor leadership skills. It is an ugly case with no innocent people - nothing but blame to go around.
what the hell is so EPIC about this? stupid thug and dumbass cop wannabeee cross paths and ones dead. nothing epic about it. its a short tragic story of 2 people who were too stupid to resist confrontation. walk away morons, walk. away.
I just wanted to point this out in light of the side-discussion on the other thread. Go GATORS! ,WESGATORS
Wow. The 911 operator did not give any commands and wouldn't do so. TM was in the neighborhood because he was visiting his father.
There are tons of cases that I am or would be fascinated by, but the availability of information makes it tedious to try to keep up with most of them. While I do think there was a bit of excess with the coverage of this case, it gave us plenty of access to opinions, "facts," and plausible theories. More importantly, it has given us plenty of insight as to the different perceptions of what type of behavior should be considered socially acceptable (particularly with regard to how or why we might consider someone "suspicious" and how we might consider it acceptable to deal with or approach such a person). I think this case, no matter how it turns out offers a very real example with which we should think about how we deal with, pre-judge, and interact with strangers. I could do without the racial nonsense. But even the blowhards (no matter which side they seem to support) offer an insight of the mindset of people and how they assess the situation given the information available. This story is very real to me because I think of it from the perspective of: - as a resident, how would I assist with looking out for the neighborhood, how far is too far, should I own a gun - I've played the role of investigating suspicious activity (I'm not toting a gun around, and I can mingle with the best of 'em), but... - I've also heard from a friend and neighbor who was treated disrespectfully, likely on account of his skin color - I think of how I would teach my son to act if he were in the "Martin" role, and how I would teach my son to act if he were in the "Zimmerman" role (years away for both, but the thought still crosses my mind) - I wonder what role (if any) did the divorce have on molding Martin into who he was No matter what happened or how this court case played out, we have a few plausible theories of how things may have gone, and we have (hopefully) learned to think of rational ways to address each of these scenarios regardless of which side we might fall on. Go GATORS! ,WESGATORS
Nevertheless, this case is being used by the LMSM to rally opposition to SYG laws. To do so, they have lied and altered/spliced audio recordings to paint Zimmerman as something he's not. They stirred the pot, as did the race-baiters Sharpton and Jackson all for personal gain.
Command may not be the right choice of words but the operator did tell Zimmerman to quit following Martin...and Martin had texts on his phone regarding an imminent gun deal, whether that is what was about to go on at that particular time is unclear.
No he didn't. He mentioned not needing Zimmerman to do that which is significantly different than telling him to "quit following" Martin. He also asked for information about which way Martin was going. There's a potential conflict of "suggestion" from the dispatcher where he was both suggesting that Zimmerman ease off and he was suggesting that Zimmerman be able to provide additional information. Go GATORS! ,WESGATORS
And RE: interest, there's the whole SYG law and is it relevant or not relevant as it pertains to the Martin-Zimmerman case http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news...our-ground-062513-20130625-12,0,5718631.story Go GATORS! ,WESGATORS
Wes, you're right. This isn't a SYG case, but that didn't stop the LMSM from trying to spin it as a SYG case. The LMSM would like nothing more than having SYG laws watered down or repealed. They don't like the idea of citizens being able to defend themselves like this guy in Atlanta. http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/24/justice/lebron-sneaker-store-shooting/index.html?hpt=hp_t2
This is the first I've heard of this. Regardless, even if true and verifiable, I'm not sure it's relevant. This is a self-defense argument, not an argument of justifiable homicide (i.e. TM was so potentially awful that GZ did us all a public service, etc). The only thing that matters is whether or not TM physically attacked GZ. If TM did, then it doesn't matter if he was there to give out skittles and iced tea to widows and orphans. If GZ started the fight, then it doesn't matter if TM was there to facilitate an arms deal for baby-eating cannibals. I suppose the only potentially relevant factor of TM being there to buy a gun is if the judge thought it suggested that TM had a violent background and, therefore, that he might have been the type of person who would jump a complete stranger for following him. But the judge has already ruled, so far, that TM's background is not relevant. Sorry to sound like a broken record, but it really is as simple as whether or not the state can prove GZ started the fight. Everything else is white noise.
So if I punch you in the nose, starting a fight, and you pull a knife, I have to let you stab me because I started the fight, I can't shoot you?
I would rather you didn't shoot me under any circumstance, but consult a lawyer prior to finding out. On another thread, a lawyer (I assume) mentioned that an escalation such as you describe would trigger an ability to defend oneself with deadly force. However, that is not GZ's story. He says TM attacked him without physical provocation.
I appreciate the well thought out post, my problem is that all of that information came at the expense of news that actually affects people's lives, mine included. If the court channel wants to cover it 24/7, that's appropriate. But the major networks putting it ahead of such stories as the climate change announcement on two out of three networks (which will affect us all good and bad), the economy(ABC) the attack on American troops in Afghanistan on all three networks among others isn't. It's not news it's a soap opera with a ton of people piggybacking the notoriety to advance agendas. Two minutes worth of reporting would let you ponder how you would want your kids to handle it and larger social issues, it's now been a year of over the top silliness. CNN probably devoted 20 or 30% of their primetime coverage to it last night. And again, it's one of dozens of stories like this happening every day. Someone should start a network that covers the opinions on cases like this, they would make a fortune.

Apple reportedly gives China Mobile a "positive answer" regarding 4G LTE iPhone
China Mobile has been upfront about its plans for 4G LTE and its desire to have the iPhone on its wireless network. According to Bloomberg, China Mobile Chairman Wang Jianzhou confirmed the wireless carrier has been in talks with Apple about a 4G LTE handset and has received a positive answer. Apple has a compelling reason to get the iPhone on China Mobile - with over 600 million subscribers, it's the world's largest wireless carrier.
Though he is sparse on details, Jianzhou's statement fits in with Apple's projected plans. There's little doubt Apple has an LTE handset in its product roadmap. The Cupertino company has expressed an interest in LTE, but the size of the current 4G radios require a re-design of the iconic handset. At this point, Apple is not willing to make these design changes and will wait until the second generation radios debut.
Current rumors suggest Apple will release the 3G-enabled iPhone 5 this year and a 4G version in 2012. Hopefully, a launch next year would give Apple ample time to develop an LTE handset for both China and the US.

Russian Duo: Testing The Limits Of Russian Folk Music
The balalaika is a traditional Russian instrument with three strings and a triangular body. Oleg Kruglyakov, a native of Omsk City, Siberia, has been playing the balalaika since he was seven years old. Now, he's devoted to educating other cultures about Russian folk music and testing the limits of his instrument by teaming up with pianist Terry Boyarsky.
Together, they are an international project called Russian Duo with a style that combines classical and chamber music with the folk sounds of old Russia. The pair join host Frank Stasio to talk about their music and to play some tunes live in the studio.

The webinars will cover very specific provisions, §2719 and §2706, of new healthcare reform law, Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, PPACA, in reference to mandatory compliance with the established ERISA claim regulation in its entirety, ERISA §2560.503-1 for every group health plan an individual plan. ERISA §2560.503-1 (b)(4) prohibits any anti-assignment practice and discrimination by any group health plan in refusing to disburse benefits checks with valid patient assignments. Department of Labor, DOL, issued enforcement guidelines, DOL ERISA FAQ, B3, in explaining plan administrator's fiduciary duties in compliance with ERISA assignment requirement. United States Supreme Court ruled on January 26, 2009 in Kennedy v. Plan Administrator for DuPont that ERISA plan administrators must make benefits determination and benefits disbursement decisions solely based on plan documents and valid participant assignment.
According to Dr. Jin Zhou, president of ERISAclaim.com, a national ERISA expert, and reimbursement compliance consultant, it is increasingly popular from industry existing practice that health care providers historically ignored these protections from federal law, ERISA, in failing to secure valid ERISA Legal Assignment for Benefits from their patients, therefore insurance companies and health plans will have no obligations to any health care providers in absence of valid ERISA assignments, in accordance with DOL claim guidelines, ERISA FAQ, B2. On the other hand, if with a valid ERISA assignment, and an insurance company or health plan must send reimbursement checks directly to healthcare providers as a designated and authorized representative, regardless of network partic

"A celebration of literary genius framed by 20th-century tragedy."--Richard Bernstein, New York Times
Finally in paperback, this "monumental collection; gathers all of Babel's deft and brutal writing, including a wide array of previously unavailable material, from never-before-translated stories to plays and film scripts" (David Ulin, Los Angeles Times). Reviewing the work in The New Republic, James Woods wrote that this groundbreaking volume "represents a triumph of translating, editing, and publishing. Beautiful to hold, scholarly and also popularly accessible, it is an enactment of love." Considered one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, Isaac Babel has left his mark on a generation of readers and writers. This book will stand as Babel's final, most enduring legacy. Winner of the Koret Jewish Book Award; A New York Times Notable Book, a and Library Journal Best Book, a Washington Post Book World Rave, a Village Voice Favorite Book of the Year.Babel's writing life lasted approximately 20 years. (He was executed by Stalin after a few military subjects unflatteringly portrayed in his "Red Cavalry" stories gained positions of influence.) His most notable stories depict the Russian civil war and Jewish soldiers, his childhood, and Jewish thugs in his native Odessa. Often journalistic in style, his stories provided gripping war accounts to Russians eager for news from the front, as in this passage from "The Church in Novograd":
We drank rum, waiting for the military commissar, but he still hadn't come back from the headquarters. Romuald had collapsed in a corner and fallen asleep. He slept and quivered, while beyond the window an alley seeped into the garden beneath the black passion of the sky. Thirsting roses swayed in the darkness. Green lightning bolts blazed over the cupolas. A naked corpse lay on the embankment. And the rays of the moon streamed through the dead legs that are pointing upward. So this is Poland...This collection is a delight for its organization: the stories are grouped by periods, feature introductions, and include helpful maps. The preface and afterward by his daughter and editor, Nathalie Babel, are insightful. Also included are two plays, several screenplays, a chronology, and an introduction by Cynthia Ozick. The Complete Works of Isaac Babel should be a welcome addition to readers of literature everywhere. --Michael Ferch


text: 5 A Pleasant SurprisePosted: 17/01/2011As a hardcore Xbox 360 gamer I was seriously worried the Kinect would be aimed solely at casual gamers and families. A year ago I had seen the graphics and couldn't help but think this would be a cheap cross between the Nintendo Wii and the old Eye Toy. However, I couldn't have been more mistaken.Using a VGA camera and IR projector the Kinect tracks movement surprisingly well and manages to distinguish between player and pet flawlessly. The voice recognition works a dream as well. I went all giggly the first time I played a DVD:"Xbox. Play disk." It did. First time!"Fast forward." Again, too easy."Faster." Up to 4x speed."Faster." 8x speed."Play." I've missed half of the original Tron but, all I do is lift my hand and swipe to the left and I'm back at the beginning. Child's play.Gameplay is incredibly natural. To kick a football I don't press the A button on a controller, I kick. To bowl a bowling ball I swing your arm forward exactly as I would do down at the local 10 pin alley only I'm not wearing some communal shoes and I've yet to put any trousers on.Of course, I'm referring to Kinect Sports but, I purchased the two together (highly recommended). Kinect Adventures is slightly less fun and with only 5 mini games it is a tad repetitive. On the plus side, playing a game is so tiring, you usually end up going to the kitchen to get a drink or cool off in the shower before you get bored.Yes, the games are not up to the graphical standard of Call of Duty Black Ops and sure, there's only a basket load of games available to purchase at present but, that was exactly the same as the Wii, the PS3 and the Xbox 360. This is a worthy investment.Oh, and worried about looking ridiculous? Don't be! Everyone just has to have a go as well. It's the first time I've ever manage to get my girlfriend to play a video game and now we play doubles volleyball and table tennis daily.
