This fern was a gift, it's my first plant. It's been inside for the winter. Our new puppy chewed the leaves off one side of it so we got stand for it. I repotted it last week into a bigger pot with fresh soil and some miracle grow. It's by the door just so I could get a good pic, it sits in the corner of our kitchen and gets indirect sunlight. Should I remove anything dead? How much should I be watering it? after some research I think I've been over watering. What all should I do to get it healthy again? In april I'm going to move it outside but plan to keep it in the big pot, will being outside help it?

Check the link below that might help you with your Boston Fern. Once your temps warm up put outside in shade. I have been growing these ferns for years outside and they can handle lows into the high 30s.. They are pretty tough plants. |
Here is a link that might be useful: GROWING FERNS SUCCESSFULLY INDOORS
I would remove the dead parts since they are no help to the plant. And with the overwatering - I think the plant needs some time to get better. I almost killed my first fern but it got better after two weeks. Just don't use too much water now, give it some light and time. But were the roots already moldy? Then also a new pot and new earth won't do anything good. |

If the sensuous Katrina Kaif swept you off your feet in the earlier aamsutra advertisements for PepsiCo's mango drink Slice, the third in this series is going to have you asking for more. The commercial that recently went on air bears the signature style of naughtiness and indulgence as the previous ones, and has been shot by Prakash R. Varma, director, Nirvana Films.
The ad film has been shot spectacularly with the surreal backdrop of a luscious rich forest, and features a romantic boat journey. Katrina and her on-screen beau engage in a who-blinks-first battle. But, a bottle of Slice distracts Katrina, enticing her to close her eyes and fantasise about the 'raseela aam'.
Katrina, who was dressed in a red silk gown created by designers Falguni and Shane Peacock, loves the look of the commercial. "the set was one of the most beautiful I have ever worked for, for an ad campaign. It had a dreamy and fantasy look and feel about it. However, wearing this flowing gown and shooting on a boat was quite a delicate exercise as I had to sit for a long time on the boat; the gown would get all wet."

INDIANAPOLIS — A winter storm that brought a mixture of freezing rain, sleet, rain and snow to Indiana produced lighter amounts of ice than forecasters had predicted.
National Weather Service meteorologist Dave Tucek says about one-tenth of an inch of ice fell across central Indiana counties that were under an ice storm warning, which ended at 7 a.m. Monday. He says the highest ice accumulations were about two-tenths of an inch in Tipton and the Lafayette area.
Forecasters had predicted a quarter-inch of ice would accumulate overnight along the Interstate 70 corridor. But Tucek says slightly warmer air and lighter precipitation reduced the icing amounts.
The overnight icing still prompted some Monday school closures and school delays.
Sharply colder air is forecast to spill across Indiana on Monday afternoon, creating slick conditions.

I'll start by saying that I don't have the kind of hair anyone would envy. My hair is baby fine, and I don't have a lot of it. I'm not balding, but I don't have a luxurious waterfall of locks. My hair was a mess of static in the winter, and it tangled like mad the second I stepped outside. My hair had to be washed daily to avoid greasy roots, which resulted in dull damaged hair.
Over the years I discovered that it didn't matter where i had my hair cut or colored, what I described above didn't change. Measurable improvements were made when I discovered a sulfate free shampoo at Costco, and Batiste dry shampoo at my local beauty supply store. Redken Satainwear blowout lotion also helped. I began to wash my hair less, and my hair began to look better, but I wasn't until i pulled the trigger on this ridiculously expensive hairbrush that I began to love my hair.
I figured I could splurge since I cut my hair at Greatclips and color my own hair, but I did feel guilty about the purchase..... but not anymore. This brush is the single best beauty purchase I've ever made. The bristles are just firm enough to penetrate to and massage the scalp, but soft enough that it feels absolutely luxurious. The brush seems to not only spread the oil through the hair, but also absorb excess oil. The result is shiny, bouncy hair that is full of body. I can now wash twice a week. What a revelation... what a time saver....etc.
Some people spend over $100 dollars for a cut and color that lasts eight weeks. I'm not judging those people. My point is, why not spend $100 dollars on a hairbrush that will last forever and outperform any hairbrush at the drugstore X 1,000. I wish I had known about these brushes years ago, it would have saved me years of hair heartache.
On a side not, packaging is not usually a concern of mine, but I was delighted with vintage packaging of my brush. I could imagine strolling into a mercantile circa 1890 and buying the same brush.

I have owned my Mason Pearson brush for years, and its great. I have the full size and the mini for a purse. Then one day I bought a Denman (also made in England) for $12 that works exactly the same. My intent was to have one to keep in my travel bag. I can't believe how well it performs - its basically the exact same brush. Only $70 less. I like Mason Pearson but I wish I would have known about Denman because it works just as well.

I love my Mason Pearson hairbrush, it has been the best beauty investment I have made since my Clairsonic Plus. The use of this brush has helped tame down my frizzies as well as give my hair lush volume. These brushes are expensive but they are so worth it. I highly recommend them to everyone I know that has hair concerns like fine, limp hair. Simply amazing!

I realize it seems obscene to spend over $100 on a brush, but it is SO worth it! You'll have this thing for a lifetime. I have had the same one for 13 years and it's still in great shape and I use it a couple times a week. I've had hair dryers melt bristles on other brushes, but this thing is indestructible. Also, leaves your hair smoother than any other flat brush I have tried.

POCKET 100% Boar Bristle Brush- is too small to use for styling or blow drying hair, but is perfect for carrying around in a handbag for tidy ups. Mason Pearson brushes are VERY expensive and an "investment", but I am now going to buy a larger brush for blow drying my hair, but I will be looking for a less expensive, but still pure bristle brush.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Always heard a lot about MP brushes, and never thought I would actually buy one. I regret waiting so long ... I got mine 4 weeks ago (extra large, 100%boar bristle in the dark handle color) - it is outstanding! I have been brushing morning and night, and my hair simply behaves beautifully. It is shinier, more groomed and overall just dreamy. I may buy a pocket one for trips..it is the beginning of a love affair!
6 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Not a bad brush, although I dont see the outstanding results as everyone else has gotten.
Even though its got the rubbery pad, you still get static fly away hair if you run the brush through it too much.

This is an amazing brush! It does wonders for my lifeless hair! My dad got this in 1977 and its still in perfect condition!!!!!!!!!!
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I saw the extra large brush in an australian dept store for $290. Ridiculous I thought. I didnt want to pay that for a brush - no matter how long it lasts. Found one online for less than half the price delivered. Still, at $130 I was still sceptical but curiousity made me go ahead and purchase. Well, i cant believe how good this brush is. My boyfriend even comments on how this brush has changed my dull dry hair into soft shiny hair. I cant figure out how it works so well - it is just a plain looking bristle brush - but it does. Wish I had bought one 20 years ago. Oh yeah, boyfriend ended up trying it on his thinning locks and ended up with 'big hair'. Scary!

text: Not sure if a rumor thread has been posted here yet, but while at WDW, I was speaking with a woman at the bus kiosk outside the TTC. Take this for what it's worth considering the source, but she heard a rumor that there is a strong consideration about taking out one of her favorite attractions, Muppetvision 3D. Grain of salt here.

I find this a bit disappointing compared to the original formula - Avon Supershock. I find this formula a little too thick and the brush isn't as good. I use it with my old regular Supershock brush and it's still pretty good....but I wish I could still get regular Supershock - seems to have been discontinued.
I said that I will repurchase, but only because I can't get my beloved original Avon Supershock, and I haven't found anything better yet.

I love this mascara. Every time I wear it, people compliment me and then they want to know what kind of mascara I use. It definitely works for me. I get great length and volume. Also I've cried while wearing it and I didn't have a face full of black streaks.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I do like this mascara. I have been using it in both black and brown for a couple of years now. It builds up, doesn't clump, and gives a nice, full look.
But, not as full as SuperShock, which is why I deducted a lippie.
This IS a good product and I DO recommend it, it just doesn't blow me completely away. Except that I always have it around...
I love this mascara! after trying everything for maybelline to dior i had never found something that was a good price but also did got mascara type things, this is the one for me! it doesn't flake and it lengthens and curls.
the brush was great for me, I can quickly swipe and then i'm done.
will definitely buy this again!
This product is okay. It does what it says it does which is lengthens and volumizes but it is not my first choice. It flakes really easily and dries just as fast. This fast drying would be good except for the fact that I have to apply really really fast if I don't want the brush or tube thing to dry out.
Waterproof? Ehhh, I beg to differ. Today I got to try out my spandy new Avon Super Shock MAX Waterproof mascara...and...oh boy howdy, I gotta bitch.
When I'm out on the slopes, and it starts to snow, and my "waterproof" mascara starts coming off in shreds like a regular tubing mascara such as Blinc ...then I get annoyed that a mascara I bought SPECIFICALLY for snowboarding (i.e., damp and sometimes wet conditions) is almost completely worthless to me. I don't like the emo look when I'm out boarding (or jetskiing). Or ever, to be honest.
Now for the positive - it's a unique, if rather fat-ended, spiky helical brush that really does get every lash. It plumps up lashes, makes them fan out, gives a bit of length, doesn't take too long to dry, and and you can apply multiple coats without clumping. Those are all bonuses in a NON-waterproof mascara...but I have several of that type which work pretty well for me.
And if you don't require a mascara that is proof against rain, snow or splashes...this removes easily with warm water and a slight bit of pressure. Or cold water, if you prefer. Or even a splot of wet snow. Which I found out today...on the slopes...with my husband watching me, wearing that ever-so-slightly amused expression that made me want to stick him head-down in a tree well.
Without belaboring my already-belabored point, this is a good all-around mascara that fails Biblically in the waterproof arena. Back to the drawing board...and my old standby, Maybelline Stiletto Waterproof Mascara, which is worthless in almost every respect (including length and volume)...except that it IS absolutely waterproof and requires almost an Act of God to remove. Damn dang dernit.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This mascara volumizes and lengthens my lashes...Everytime I use it my eyelashes seem to be enormous. This mascara is also huge, and its brush is perfect.I have tried many mascaras (much more expensive than this one) but most of them disappointed me. I believe that this brush is the ideal to add volume and length to lashes. I will definately buy this again and again....
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This mascara is rubbish! My lashes are pretty good and any mascara usually does at least a decent job on them, but this one is just disappointing!
PROS: Just one, the fact that it does indeed volumise.
- Unlike what others have said, I actually find the formula a bit too dry.
- It doesn't lenghten
- It doesn't hold a curl - my lashes are basically poker straight half an hour after I put this on
- It's not black enough, looks more like a washed out black to me
- It's expensive (again, unlike others have said) - This is £10 from Avon's website here in the UK!
NEUTRAL: The brush. It is massive, and has rubbery bristles, but I don't mind it. However my lashes are quite good as I said so the brush is never really a problem for me.
I haven't tried the normal Supershock, so can't compare, but ladies, please don't waste your money on this!
woah the brush on this is huge! but i actually really like it. it does take a little while to get use to and i haven't even bothered attempting to try it on my bottom lashes. the formula is a little runny and takes a while to dry but it does add volume. haven't had it too long, but i can see it becoming my everyday mascara (:
I love this mascara, and am on my third tube. Yes, the wand does take a little getting used to, and it is very easy to get too much of the product onto the wand at once and end up with spider lashes, but the formula itself is wonderful. I love the mascara the most when it is starting to run a tad low, and you don't get near as much on the wand at once. It gives a natural and femine look to my lashes. I start at the root, roll the wand, let that half dry, then finish all throughout my lashes. It helps stop the mascara from clumping. The waterproof version is nearly waterproof, much more than other mascaras, that is.

Schroeder: Victory has UO donning rose-colored glasses
Here's Schroeder's column filed Saturday:
PASADENA, Calif. — He never considered anything else. The ball came floating down, and Kenjon Barner was standing in the end zone, but he knew what he was going to do.
"Just run."
Barner caught the kickoff two yards deep, and he looked up, and "I just saw holes." And the question today is: Do you see the possibilities?
Because 100-plus yards later, Barner was in the other end zone. Oregon had the lead, and "everybody was going crazy," according to Talmadge Jackson III.
And after a huge win on a Saturday set up for a setback, it's fair to wonder where else these Ducks might be going.
"We'll be back!" wide receiver Garrett Embry was telling teammates on the Rose Bowl sidelines in the final moments of a 24-10 win over UCLA, and there was no mistaking his meaning.
Yeah, we're a long, long way from Jan. 1, only halfway through with the season. But if you were still looking for reasons to believe in this Oregon team, consider the context.
No one will ever mistake the Rose Bowl for a snake pit, not with all those late-arriving fans in powder blue. But with 77,000-plus, it was loud enough. Rick Neuheisel's Bruins are limited offensively, but they can play defense with anybody.
Speaking of limited, Jeremiah Masoli wore shorts, a knee brace, white sneakers and an unkempt, but extraordinary bed-head hairstyle. Without him, the Ducks' offense lurched and sputtered.
A rash of injuries in the secondary had a true freshman trotting into the game at cornerback in his college debut. Coaches had to trust Cliff Harris to cover like he actually grasped what was going on.
Oregon trailed only 3-0 at halftime, but you wondered how much longer the Ducks would dodge disaster. It felt like UCLA was one play away from breaking it open.
Instead, Oregon did.
Barner took back that second-half kickoff for a touchdown. And 13 seconds later, Jackson guessed right, stole Kevin Prince's short pass and raced 32 yards for another touchdown.
Twenty-six seconds into the third quarter, UCLA's 3-0 halftime lead was a 14-3 deficit.
"We made those two plays," Jackson said, "and it totally changed the whole thing around."
"Huge," Chip Kelly agreed.
"Decisive," Neuheisel confirmed.

Enviromentally Focused Art
Ed Kashi
Ed Kashi is a US photographer who shoots to raise awareness for the environment, and social and political issues. In 2008 Ed Kashi produced a book with photographs about the oil and conflict in the Niger Delta called Curse of the Black Gold.
The book contains inspiring photographs revealing what the big oil companies are doing in and with the Niger Delta, including pictures of an oil spill on fire and polluting the air, and pictures of the people who are affected by it. For 50 years the oil companies have been reaping the rewards of oil, but they are not doing anything about the pollution from the oil spills or adequately compensating the people who live in the Niger Delta.
Based on his study of the oil exploitation and conflict in Niger Delta, Kashi won the "Earth Commission – 2009" from Prix Pictet, the world's foremost environmental art awards, and travelled to Madagascar in January 2010.
"My work has led me to many places on this earth and it's critically clear our world is under tremendous stress," he says.
"The relationships we hold as human beings with the earth, and the issues that are raised about how we conduct this vital relationship, have developed into core themes within my work. Nowhere are the effects of this dysfunctional relationship more evident than in Madagascar."
Ed Kashi is helping us see that we should make an effort to help people of the world and rethink our relationships with big business by looking for alternatives, including reducing our dependency on oil and the big oil companies.

Abbott backs Hockey as GrainCorp shares plummet
PUBLISHED: 29 Nov 2013 08:06:00 | UPDATED: 29 Nov 2013 13:59:35PUBLISHED: 29 Nov 2013 PRINT EDITION: 29 Nov 2013Joanna Heath, Phillip Coorey and Tim Binsted
- Laura Tingle | Hockey's decision leaves GrainCorp issues unresolved
- Chanticleer | Grain market problems at heart of ADM rejection
- Timeline | How ADM's GrainCorp takeover bid played out
Prime Minister Tony Abbott has welcomed Treasurer Joe Hockey's rejection of Archer Daniels Midland's $3 billion takeover bid for the east-coast grains handler.
Mr Abbott described Mr Hockey as "the guardian of our national interest".
"We are open for business and I want to make it absolutely crystal clear that we are open for business, we are open for foreign investment that accords with our overall national interest. The Treasurer has considered some 131 major foreign investment applications and 130 of those have been approved," Mr Abbott said.
"This is a decision that is by law in the hands of the Treasurer. He's made it very conscientiously and in accordance with the law."
GrainCorp shares have plunged by more than 25 per cent as hedge funds run for the exits in the wake of the rejection.
The scramble to dump shares in Australia's largest listed agribusiness saw the stock dive 26 per cent to $8.28 at 11.45am (AEDT) on Friday.
BBY analyst Dennis Hulme said he had slashed his GrainCorp price target to $8.80 following Mr Hockey's decision, but said he expected it to trade much lower in the short term.
"Hedge funds often act very quickly to exit a position," he said.
GrainCorp chairman Don Taylor expressed disappointment in the Treasurer's decision, saying the move will have enduring implications for the entire agriculture industry.
Mr Taylor said it was "extremely disappointing" that the US agribusiness' offer had been blocked and warned the move would have ramifications beyond GrainCorp's own shareholder base.
"Australian agriculture has been prevented from realising the potential benefits from the significant capital ADM would have invested in the long term future of the industry," he said.
'I made the call': Hockey
Mr Hockey told journalists in Sydney on Friday morning that he had decided to reject the proposed acquisition, citing concerns over the control of key infrastructure such as silos and ports.
"For me to reject this proposal, I had to determine that the acquisition of GrainCorp by ADM is contrary to the national interest. Based on all the available information, I have now made that decision," he said.
The Foreign Investment Review Board could not make a unanimous recommendation on the deal, Mr Hockey said, and was split down the middle.
"They were split and I made the call," he said.
He added that he had considered allowing the deal to proceed with conditions attached, but decided against it, as it would introduce more regulation into the agriculture sector that was not needed or desirable.
The Greens and the Nationals praised Mr Hockey but the federal opposition has slammed the decision as bad for the economy and yet another conflicting message from the government.
"Today's decision demonstrates that the greatest obstacle to foreign investment in Australia is the cabinet,'' said shadow treasurer Chris Bowen.
"This was the first big test for Mr Hockey and his claim that Australia is open for business – and he has failed.
"The pre and post-election bravado about free markets and Australia being open for business has given way to the reality of an openly divided and dysfunctional government."
Not a good look
International hedge funds were also critical, with one investor saying Mr Hockey looked as though he was under duress from the protectionists and his decision was not a good look for Australia.
Rural Liberal MP and businessman Angus Taylor said ADM had itself to blame because of its arrogance.
"Their unwillingness to agree to ongoing enforceable regulation of a unique market position has been arrogant. This is a business with higher market share than Coles and Woolworths combined, and they never accepted the implications of such a privileged position. The latest offer of additional money from ADM only 24 hours ago was simply a sugar coating," Mr Taylor said.
Deputy Prime Minister and Nationals Leader Warren Truss said the government remained a strong supporter of foreign investment "and its continued importance to agriculture in Australia".
"However, not all foreign takeovers are in the national interest,'' he said.
"I welcome the fact that Australia will continue to have a major locally-owned company dedicated to furthering the interests of the Australian industry."
Greens Senator Rachel Siewert said: "We agree with the Treasurer, the takeover of such significant infrastructure is not in the national interest, nor is it in the interests of Australian growers."
"We are disappointed by this decision. We are confident that our acquisition of GrainCorp would have created value for shareholders of ADM and GrainCorp, as well as grain growers and the Australian economy," Ms Woertz said.
The rejection of this deal did not rule out an approval of a second attempt at a takeover, Mr Hockey said. As a sweetener to ADM, the Treasurer said he had removed the cap on ADM's shareholding at its current level of 19.85 per cent and was "inclined" to allow it to increase up to 24.9 per cent. In her statement, Ms Woertz said ADM was considering its options in regard to lifting its stake in GrainCorp.
The Australian agriculture industry was in a period of "transition" toward more competition, Mr Hockey said, and now was "not the right time for a foreign acquisition of agribusiness".
"Although a number of new players have entered the market and new infrastructure such as the Newcastle Agri Terminal is still being built, it has taken some time for increased competition to emerge," Mr Hockey said.
"GrainCorp continues to account for a significant share of eastern Australian storage, distribution and marketing of grains."
Australia still 'open for business'
Mr Hockey emphasised the rejection was his first out of 131 foreign investment applications since he came to office, and said Australia was still "open for business" as promised by Prime Minister Tony Abbott before the recent election. He said part of the reason for rejecting the GrainCorp deal was because of the poisonous debate surrounding it.
"I therefore judge that allowing it to proceed could risk undermining public support for the foreign investment regime and further foreign investment more generally," Mr Hockey said.
The deal faced vehement opposition from Mr Hockey's coalition partners, the Nationals, as well as some within his own party including Liberal senator Bill Heffernan.
Mr Hockey's surprise decision prohibiting the 100 per cent acquisition comes well before a self-imposed deadline of December 17.
The Australian Consumer and Competition Commission had given the deal the green light, citing no competition concerns associated with the takeover. Mr Hockey said on Friday morning his rejection was not a vote of no confidence in the ACCC, and it had considered a narrower range of issues than what he had to consider, as Treasurer.
The news comes just a few days after ADM offered a sweetener to encourage Mr Hockey to approve the deal, including doubling GrainCorp's planned investment to $500 million. $200 million of that was to be spent exclusively on storage and handling assets, the most controversial part of the deal. Mr Hockey said the rejection decision was made with prior knowledge of that offer.
The Senate committee on the deal was scheduled to begin another hearing on Monday.
GrainCorp chairman Don Taylor warned wheat growers on Thursday that if the deal was blocked by Mr Hockey, GrainCorp would be hit by higher costs of capital and the company's share price would fall significantly. He also threatened $250 million of investment the company had promised to improve existing assets would be spent elsewhere if the deal fell over.
Mr Taylor said on Friday he was confident GrainCorp could continue to implement its long-term strategy in the wake of the decision.
Under the takeover bid implementation deed agreed by ADM and GrainCorp, ADM must continue to hold its 19.85 per cent interest in the company until at least 31 December, 2013.
NSW Farmers grains spokesman Daniel Cooper said the decision is a great outcome for growers.
"It shows Joe Hockey listened to our concerns around increased concentration in the supply chain and made an informed decision," he said.
"The $200 million ADM was offering was certainly a significant amount of money but there were no assurances that growers wouldn't have to pay it back in the long term. They put a price cap on for three years but wouldn't tell us what would happen after that."

John Hughes, the self-professed serial killer/"Antichrist," told police": "I don't mean to be a smart ass about it, but you shouldn't try to fight with somebody with a gun."
Hughes, 34, was talking about Valentin G. Kirilchuk, a 39-year-old trucker from Springfield. In September 2008, Hughes' girlfriend allegedly lured Kirilchuk into a rest stop bathroom where Hughes robbed and killed Kirilchuk.
"This defendant viciously murdered two people in two weeks. He stabbed
his first victim to death, stole his gun, and then used that gun to kill
another innocent man," Platte County prosecutor Eric Zahnd said in a
statement. "For the safety of society, it is good that he will never
live outside prison walls again."
Hughes admitted wanting to rob Kirilchuk, who he spotted parked in a
rest area on Interstate 29 north near Dearborn on September 8, 2008.
Hughes' girlfriend, Dana Tutor, allegedly went to Kirilchuk's
truck and told him she needed $100. Kirilchuk went into the rest area's
main building with Tutor. Once inside, Hughes forced Kirilchuk into a
men's bathroom at gunpoint.
Hughes tried to rob Kirilchuk, who fought back. Hughes shot Kirilchuk in
the head one time with a 9mm handgun at close range. Hughes took
Kirilchuk's wallet, which had $200 in it, and a cell phone.
Police arrested Hughes for DUI in York County, Nebraska. During the
arrest, police found the 9mm, which they used to link him to Kirilchuk's
killing. Hughes stole the 9mm after robbing and stabbing David Durben
to death in Zanesville, Ohio.
In an interview with KMBC, Hughes claimed that he killed
15 to 20 people. He also showed off his lion tattoo
(you know, he's a lion among men) and a biblical quote
tat about the Antichrist (yes, he thinks he's the Antichrist).
Hughes will never see life outside of prison again. He pleaded guilty today to charges of first-degree murder, first-degree robbery, and
armed criminal action. A judge sentenced him to life in prison without the possibility of parole. He is also serving a life sentence in Ohio.
Tutor has been charged with second-degree robbery and second-degree murder. Her next court date is November 16.

Xbox Live thrill seekers should prepare for a new wave of explosive 360 titles, as this month sees the arrival of several next-gen big hitters, one of which is EA's Battlefield 2: Modern Combat.
In an interview with our neighbours on Xbox 360 - The Official Magazine, Battlefield 2 producer Jeff Gamon - not to be mistaken with the Legend of Zelda villain - tells us just how excited we should be for the Xbox 360 shooter. Battlefield 2 has been extensively rebuilt from the ground up for the next-gen Xbox, featuring brand new models and 5.1 surround sound good enough to please even the most hardened of cynics.
"One of our objectives for BF2:MC 360 was always to make one of the first truly next generation games for the 360 - show what it really might be capable of," said Gamon. "It's undeniable that the quality of the image this platform outputs brings games to new heights of realism."
But Battlefield 2: Modern Combat has also seen improvements in the gameplay department; "The extra time we've spent developing the 360 version has let us tune the hell out of it and address issues highlighted in feedback we received on the earlier versions," said Gamon.
Battlefield 2: Modern Combat marches in to the shops on March 31.

February 4, 2014 Rumor RoundupWhat Can Yoon Do for You?Rangers interested in Korean free agent Suk-Min Yoon Reports out of Korea on Saturday indicated that Yoon held a 30-pitch workout for scouts from the Giants and Orioles on the campus of the University of California, Irvine. The Giants are an unlikely suitor for Yoon, having already added Tim Hudson to their rotation and brought back both Tim Lincecum and Ryan Vogelsong, but the Orioles are expected to find a way to bolster their starting staff in the coming days. According to Andrew Rickli of SportsReel Boston, though, they will need to compete with another suitor: the Rangers, who are still hoping to pad their rotation after losing Derek Holland to a knee injury earlier this winter. Dan Kurtz of MyKBO.net, who translates Korean-language reports via Twitter, relayed one on January 28 that suggested that four teams have already tendered contract offers to Yoon and that two of them are in serious talks with him. Shawn Ferris of OutsidePitchMLB shared another report from Korea JoongAng, which identified the Orioles and Rangers as the frontrunners.

Food and liquor go together like Mike Ditka and facial hair, but it's not as easy as slapping together a plate of food with a random boozy beverage. It takes a special artistry and precision to make a masterful pairing, and when done right it can really make a memorable meal. There are plenty of places in Chicago who have got pairing down to a science, many of which are participating in Chicago Restaurant Week.
Chicago's luxury hotels don't just tolerate pint-sized guests, they welcome them with open arms, extending unforgettable perks that make kids feel like stars. From special spa treats to an ice cream cart that visits your guest room, here are three Chicago hotels that go the extra mile to make sure kids are happy during their stay.
Good times this weekend, very good times. Whether you're checking out a very unique new show in "The Adventures of Tapman,"a dazzling production on ice of "Frozen," admiring purebred dogs at the International Kennel Club Dog Show, or digging in to some delicious food in the return of Chicago Restaurant Week 2015 (!!), you've got things to smile about.
While microbreweries are a big trend in Chicago right now, the city actually once had breweries galore. A few of these buildings still remain, and here are three that you can view in Chicago neighborhoods today, with special thanks to Forgotten Chicago for digging up some of the information presented here.
Perhaps you've never been to the River North area of Chicago. Some call it RiNo (pronounced like the sizable animal) and this linguistic reduction is just another way to move more quickly to a description of the area's steakhouses, lounges and other pastimes.
If you've never been, you might want to plan for a night over at the Hotel Palomar. Of course, if you have frequented the area before this is also the perfect time to spend the night, slow things down and
This past weekend, my daughter and I spent some time at the Randolph Street Market Festival. We had such fun exploring three floors worth of art, fashion, vintage treasures, decorators finds and more. Even the venue itself - the beaux arts Plumbers Hall at 1340 W. Washington - was interesting (check out the mural of Buckingham Fountain on the staircase and the ornate detailing and woodwork and don't forget to stroll the balcony overlooking the auditorium - there
Whether you're making a special trip to Chicago or you're a local looking to make plans for an unforgettable date, here are eight great ideas for celebrating Valentine's Day.
On Jan. 23, Chicago lost one of its finest.
Ernie Banks passed away late on a Friday night, with news breaking around 9 p.m. local. The news exploded on social media and overwhelmed the sports conversation on a night that saw the NHL host their annual All-Star Game fantasy draft and an NBA player - Klay Thompson - break a league scoring record.
That's because people respected Mr. Cub.

Darren Aronofsky and Russell Crowe Are Gonna Need a Bigger Boat For 'Noah'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on March 21, 2012 | Comments (6)There have been reports about director Darren Aronofsky trying to get a movie about the biblical tale of Noah off the ground for a while now. At one point he even had Christian Bale interested in taking on the title role of the boat building messenger of God, but his schedule didn't allow for that to ever happen. The movie itself looks like it's ready to get off the ground though, only instead of Batman as Noah, Aronofsky is going to have to settle for a gladiator. Deadline Daberath reports that the deals are done, and this movie is ready to set sail with Russell Crowe as its star. This will be the first film Aronofsky has directed since his seriously well received movie about killer ballerinas (or at least that's what Billy Crystal told me), Black Swan. When talking about his interest in this project, Aronofsky said, "Since I was a kid, I have been moved and inspired by the story of Noah and his family's journey. The imaginations of countless generations have sparked to this epic story of faith. It's my hope that I can present a window into Noah's passion and perseverance for the silver screen." Reportedly, Aronofsky sees this as epic in scope and wants to spend somewhere around $130m on it. It's going to be the first project stemming from Arnon Milchan's new vision for New Regency, which entails a return to making edgy movies like L.A. Confidential, Heat, and Fight Club. That all sounds […]

The Raspberry Pi foundation has come out with three models to date. All are different in various ways.
The Model A+ was launched in November, 2014 and is the latest addition to the Raspberry Pi line. The A+ has a smaller footprint than the prior Pis, cutting almost an inch off the length of the board. It comes with 256Mb RAM, 1 USB port and no ethernet jack, similar to the original Model A. The most groundbreaking aspect of the board though, was the price. It was intriduced at a mere $20. That, combined with the smaller size made it the least expensive, smallest single board computer in the world at the time of release. At least for the time being, the Model A+ is only being produced in limited quantities.
The Model B+ was launched in July, 2014. It's different than the B and A models in that it has four USB ports, a longer GPIO connector and usees a micro SD card. For those reasons, many legacy accessories may not fit, or require adapters.
The Model B was launched in February 2012 and is the most popular version of the Raspberry Pi to date, with millions of boards sold worldwide. The model B featured an ethernet jack, but is otherwise dimensionally the same as the Model A. Many accessories which are compatible with the Model B also work with the Model A.
The Model A was launched after the Model B as a lower cost, lower power alternative. As stated above, the Model A was missing the ethernet jack of the Model B. It also only had one USB port, as opposed to two, like the Model B. Many accessories which are compatible with the Model B also work with the Model A.

'Sisil world', a well-recognized local retail network of consumer goods owned by Singer Sri Lanka PLC under the multi-branding and multi channeling strategy, is set to further approach their loyal customers by expanding their network to the East through opening up their 50th showroom in Ampara, on January 16.
Having started with a refrigerator Manufacturing plant in Kaluthara in 1962, the brand initially was handled by the Associated Electricals Ltd., which was later taken over by the Singer Sri Lanka PLC in 2001, launched the retail chain 'Sisil World' to better cater their customers with their wide range of household appliances.
As Sri Lankan economy shifted from socialist to otherwise in the late seventies, most brands that enjoyed monopoly in the market lost their position subsequently in failing to compete with foreign brands, which conquered hearts of local consumers quicker and easier than expected. Even so, Brands like 'Sisil' then, and to date remains unaffected by any competition, managing to keep their Goodwill intact over the years by providing goods of supreme quality and durability.
"Even in Colombo, Sisil refrigerators are still the favorite," said Premalal de Silva, Director Operations of the company. "With the reputation and trust we have won over the years, competition is what keeps us motivated" he remarked. Adding to it he also said that "Apart from the refrigerators that we are famous for, a wide range of appliances are sold through the Sisil network and the portfolio is further strengthened by expanding to different parts of the country". Having introduced fridges with the famous 'Y' handles in an age where the equipment was a luxury, statistics prove that Sisil still boasts the number one position in the market for refrigerators in the country despite the change in generations.
Investing on knowledge building on product and customer handling, Sisil World is highly considerate about the welfare of their customers. With hire purchase, Special offers and many other consumer-friendly facilities available, 'Sisil World' plans to expand their network further by opening up stores in ten new locations including Kaduwela, Ruwanwella, Avissawella and Balangoda before the close of this year.

text: I didn't make it to the gym today, so I figured I'd rollerblade to school and home instead (it's about 25 min each way) -I usually walk, but this was a way better workout 'cause there's a lot of hills. Well, turns out I didn't look at my break pad before I left, and it was worn down completely. Instead of slowly breaking at the bottom of a hill I went flying and got nasty road rash up my leg and on my hand. I got to class and was talking to a girl I know there when she said (in a totally nice/joking way - not mean at all), that my falling was karma for being so much fitter and healtheir than everyone else and making them all feel bad! It was so wierd to have someone call me really fit and healthy! I guess I still don't see myself like that, so it was pretty cool having someone else say it. Anyhow... I'm gonna go put some polysporin on my road rash!

Our health care system is constantly evolving and you may have more choices than ever before when it comes to choosing your health care plan. Hi, I'm Dr. Roshini Raj and I'm teaming up with UnitedHealthcare to highlight some important considerations when choosing a health care plan that's right for you and your family. When selecting a health care plan, it's important to take the time to make sure you understand the plan benefits. Oftentimes, your employer or the health plan will have online resources to help you compare options and estimate cost. UnitedHealthcare has an educational and entertaining website called Health Care Lane where you can learn more about health insurance plans and features. Some of which may be new to you. Taking time to review and understand your options, they help you select the plan that best suits you and your family so you can make the most of your plan benefits. Additionally, many plans provide search tools to help you determine which doctors and hospitals are in the network. Working with providers who participate in the plan network may help you obtain the highest level of coverage for services received. Depending upon your lifestyle, professional responsibilities, or family composition, it may be important to select a plan that has a national network. If you travel regularly or have children going to college in another state, it's important to have access to care no matter where you are. Additionally, I remind all my patients that many health care plans have a number of resources to assist you, both when you're sick and when you're well. Some plans provide 24-hour nurse hotlines in which individuals can call and speak to a nurse when they have questions about a health condition or to ask questions about a medication. Most health plans also have online resources to help individuals manage claims, review summary of benefits, and to estimate the cost of care for a specific health condition or a procedure. Some plans even allow you to pay a doctor bill through their websites. Many health plans provide important information to help you with a healthier life and stay well informed. In fact, some health plan websites like UnitedHealthcare's Member website, myUHC.com, provide online coaching resources to help you improve your nutrition, lose weight, or achieve your exercise goals. Other sites like Source4Women.com provide information on common health conditions and links to online resources where you can obtain more information about an illness or health condition. For those individuals who are constantly on the go like many of us today, some plans offer smartphone apps so that you can manage your health care no matter where you are. When choosing a health plan, it's important to consider all these factors and more in order to choose the plan that works best for you and your family. For more health tips and other important health-related information, visit the UnitedHealthcare and Woman's Day websites.

With two locations, a dedicated team of professionals, and a full fleet of services, Aura Salon and Spa makes it easy for New Jerseyans to update their head threads, pamper their mugs, and soothe their bodies. Aura's staffers have worked closely with the internationally trained members of Redken 5th Avenue, who shared tips regarding proper salon procedures and which European accents to use when doling out haircuts. New clients enjoy a complimentary consultation that couples them with a fitting stylist or aesthetician for their service, be it a mani-pedi, a waxing, or a bridal updo, complete with champagne mimosas and the traditional prank phone call to the wedding caterer.
The attentive aestheticians at The Jennifer Day Spa blend Eastern and Western beauty and relaxation techniques to craft custom spa treatments. Clients can grab some "me time" and partake in one of 14 different facials, including supersonic treatments to nourish collagen and Photo Rejuvenation Time Machine treatments that give faces the famously smooth complexion of H.G. Wells. Aestheticians can denude any area with waxing services or snuff out tension through reflexology, which targets pressure points on the feet and hands to restore energy flow throughout the body. The Jennifer Day Spa also bundles its services together into multitreatment spa packages, many of which include the flowing strokes and gentle kneading of Swedish massage.
Frizzy hair, oily skin, aching muscles—all problems that can be remedied with a trip to Monark Salon & Spa. The salon's stylists smooth disobedient strands with keratin treatments, change hues with Paul Mitchell hair products, and add volume and length to tresses with DreamCatchers extensions, which also store nightmares about falling out of the Goodyear blimp. Nail technicians can step in to enhance nails with OPI gel and acrylics, and aestheticians pamper visages with G.M. Collin skincare products. Beachgoers, can slip into the salon for body waxing, facial threading, and airbrush tanning before heading to the shore and finding an octopus to arm-wrestle.
As a physical therapist with his own private practice, Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa founder and chief operating officer John Marco made sure that he kept abreast of the rapidly growing health-and-wellness industry. After a period of careful research and planning, John decided to create a spa based around convenience and affordability—Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa.
Since its launch, Hand & Stone has expanded to more than 20 states and four planets. The spa's core concept is to offer massage, facial, and waxing services performed by licensed, certified, or registered professionals and offered at convenient times, seven days a week. Each location adheres to a traditional spa aesthetic with soft lighting, heated treatment tables, and plush linens.
Michael Olin studied massage at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, a school that takes a broad view of the subject. At his alma mater, Michael learned seven different modalities, which he now puts to use for his clients at Olin Heal Spa. He relieves stress and promotes blood flow with the gentle strokes of Swedish massage, or drills deep to relieve chronic tension or pain with deep tissue or trigger point therapy. Perhaps most unusually, he practices tui na, the principle form of Chinese medical massage. For this particular modality, he incorporates assisted stretching into his regular, hand-based massage techniques, with the goal of evening out the flow of energy through the body so that no particular organ gets an unfair electricity bill.
Nicole Wilkins, owner of Acupressure Massage Center of Morristown, trained in Thailand and studied at the Cortiva Institute before dedicating herself to bodywork. Now boasting a decade of experience, she leads a team of therapists who promote health and wellbeing through precision massage sessions. They untangle brawny knots with modalities such as Swedish, deep-tissue, and sports massage, and target bodily systems with reflexology techniques and manual lymphatic drainage. Regular clients cite the sessions as the source of increased wellness indicators ranging from reduced stress and decreased anxiety to improved circulation and more accurate Stretch Armstrong impersonations.
