Its good that she want's to get her self fit before re-entering major competition. But what happens when her ranking causes her to face Clijsters or Venus in the 1st rd of Miami. Plus Venus was in great shape and went down in flames at the Aussie Open this year. I really think Serena would be better off playing the weight off. That way the rust comes off as well as the belly flab. :kiss:

1. Gentoo Linux Security Advisory
Version Information
Related bugreports: #47799
There are multiple format string vulnerabilities in the neon library used in cadaver, possibly leading to execution of arbitrary code when connected to a malicious server.
2. Impact Information
According to http://www.webdav.org/cadaver, cadaver is a command-line WebDAV client for Unix. It supports file upload, download, on-screen display, namespace operations (move/copy), collection creation and deletion, and locking operations.
Cadaver code includes the neon library, which in versions 0.24.4 and previous is vulnerable to multiple format string attacks. The latest version of cadaver uses version 0.24.5 of the neon library, which makes it immune to this vulnerability.
When using cadaver to connect to an untrusted WebDAV server, this vulnerability can allow a malicious remote server to execute arbitrary code on the client with the rights of the user using cadaver.
3. Resolution Information
A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.
cadaver users should upgrade to version 0.22.1 or later:
Code Listing 3.1: Resolution
# emerge sync # emerge -pv ">=net-misc/cadaver-0.22.1" # emerge ">=net-misc/cadaver-0.22.1"

Officers betting against the raid {WoW}
Jun 9th 2008 11:10AM Ahh, Supremus. My guild has exactly the same issue(though we still one shot him too). Those volcanoes must have the moth-to-flame effect on my guildmates, because they run right to them.
It was weird to read this article because just last week, as we were about to pull Supremus, I said "I'm betting on about 8 deaths on this kill," jokingly. I believe we had more like 10-12, but luckily I didn't put any money on it. He still died, and then dropped the druid idol that he has so kindly given my guild the last 10 runs.
The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Ooops! {WoW}
Jun 16th 2007 8:32AM I remember when I first learned about this small flaw of Itemrack, good times...
Great addon though, I can't live without it.
I loved the article, was enjoyable to read. Keep representing us meatshields with pride.
Breakfast Topic: Buggy encounters {WoW}
Apr 12th 2007 10:28AM Yeah, people that play this game do bitch a lot, but it's because we have lots of reasons to do so.
This game went through a long beta test phase. Now I wasn't in the beta, but given the number of bugs I personally have encountered, it seems as if they sat around and /danced during the entire thing(exaggeration).
First off, endgame item quality is so messed up it's not even funny. When you go into a raid and an epic drops that is no better than your blue from a 5-man, it makes sense to be pissed off. Raids take a lot more work than a 5 man, the loot should be a lot better. Tier 4 isn't all that great (it does look awesome though). and Tier 5 is barely an upgrade from it. These aren't even real bugs, just terrible planning of itemization.
Going to Underbog for the first time and fighting the last boss was a great experience. He used his levitate spell on the priest, who was sitting up there floating and happened to get a crit greater heal on me. This pulled aggro, and because he was floating 30 feet off the ground(as a result of one of the bosses abilities) the boss evade bugged and healed from about 40% back to full. Now, we were pissed, but we came back and downed him. So it worked out in the end, but the thing of it is, WoW players pay $15 every month to play this game, and don't get me wrong, it's worth it because it's an amazing game. But we expect and deserve a fairly polished game and some decent customer service when bugs do show up, and time after time we fail to get these things. I understand that to exect a 100% bug-free game is unreasonable, but BC has an absurd amount of bugs in it. I don't worry too much about many of them because they don't interfere with gameplay much (wrong buff icons, occasional texture tearing etc.), but there a a lot of bugs that kill groups and just make you want to punch a hole in the wall.
As one example, my guild had just finished the chess event in karazhan, and we were going to begin clearing to Prince. We quickly noticed, however, that the silence effect from a chess game in progredd was still in effect. We couldn't run into the next room because we would pull a group and a pat and die. We had to call it a night, because of some stupid ass silence that prevented us from moving on. This is a widely experienced bug, as are countless others that significantly affect enjoying the game. I would name them all, but I would have to leave the task to my future children in my will because I would die of old age before I finished (I'm 17).
To sum up my rant,we pay monthly for this game for a reason. When we get a product as buggy as BC is, and then get crap "working as intended" or "we're aware, go away" answers from GMs, we have a right to be a bit pissed about it. Yeah, blizz has hotfixed SOME issues, but a miniscule fraction of them, and never the really bad ones. When you pay for something, you have expectations for getting something in return. If you pay a plumber to come fix your toilet and he says "It's working as intended" and leaves without fixing it, you would be pissed. Some people may be a little too whiny,(none of the comments here fall into that category) but there is most definitely an abundance of things to reasonably complain about.
Anti-gold farming bill proposed in South Korea {Joystiq}
Dec 28th 2006 5:18PM You can't close the game servers and make them cooperate. The actual game servers/companies don't sell the gold/gil /platinum etc., in fact they punish people for taking part in it, at least blizzard does. I know Sony Online Entertainment does sell the stuff themselves, so that's an exception.
It would be stupid and unlawful to shut down game servers that, in their terms of service/EULA, specifically state that they do not condone the buying/selling of their currency for real currency. I know blizzard is always banning accounts for this very reason, and I'm willing to bet most other MMO companies do as well(EQ/EQ2 obviously being exceptions, possibly a few others too).
Taxing virtual currency transactions seems unfair to me, even though it wouldn't affect me personally. I suppose if services are taxed in general (anything intangible) then I guess it's fair enough, but I don't know much about those rules.
This really does feel like another case of politicians trying to exploit or damage any industry or cultural trend that they don't understand, video games being a prime target lately. In the big picture, a small tax on this stuff probably won't matter, but it feels like too much like Jack Thompson-esque BS for my taste.
Extensive World of Warcraft play desensitizes humans {Joystiq}
Nov 3rd 2006 7:40PM You all (some exceptions) sicken me. I consider myself to sometimes be a cold-hearted person, but I know where to draw the line. This is just wrong. The guy is saying goodbye to his brother's friends on his behalf, it's not about attention.
I don't care how many people are asses on the WoW (and all other) forums. That doesn't make it acceptable. Even if no WoW player is surprised at that response, it is a giant leap over the line between tolerable stupidity to just plain assh*le. The mere fact that something is a certain way doesn't justify it being so, and that seems to be what many of the posters here are implying. For the love of God, listen to yourselves.
I hope every one of the people posting here that this is funny and/or acceptable loses the closest family member they have. Better yet, I hope they themselves die. Do the world a favor and remove your boundless stupidity from the gene pool.
1UP urges us to buy, not steal {Joystiq}
Oct 3rd 2006 7:18PM To the people that are so hot on pirating, I see your point in many ways, but the thing is, developers are having a tough time becaue of pirating. They're business people, and if they can't make money due to pirating, or are taking a big hit in revenue because of it, it will slowly but surely cripple or kill the industry. Even if I'm wrong on that point, you can't possibly deny that less revenue means less risk-taking. Games that break the mold can be some of the best games out there, Katamari Damacy being the first example that comes to my mind. Original and innovative games that are far outside the norm WILL die if developers are too short on revenue to take a risk on anything that isn't an established franchise or a proven popular genre.
In reality, video games, though I believe they are most certainly art, I wouldn't call developers "artists". It's a business as much as an art. One man can't have a divine inspiration and create the best game ever like it could happen with a painting. Video games take huge and constantly incresing amount of resources in people, time and money. If you enjoy a game, spend the $50 (yes $50, those who say $80 are just wrong, check ebgames.com) to get it and support the developers that gave absurd amounts of time to create it, or there won't be a sequel. I know that's a bit extreme in the short term, but the way things are going, it will be reality in the not-so-distant future.
Dad and son game together -- now that's parenting! {Joystiq}
Sep 24th 2006 9:55AM I wish I could get my parents to play games that I play. My mom hasn't touched a controller since she tried to play NFL Blitz with me when I was about 10. My Dad plays Civilization 2 (which I acknowledge is a good game) and Champions of Norrath (PS2) all day. He plays through the game over and over again from level 1 to 80 with the Barbarian class. He must have done it at least 6 times by now. It's honestly painful to watch. I've even asked if he wants to play Halo 2 with me, and he has no interest. That dad in the article is the man, and I hope for there to be more like him in the near future. It's great that he takes an active role in the activities of his kid, and I think all bad press about video games wouldn't be there if more parents were like that. I don't see why most parents avoid games like the plague, it's not like they're a chore to play, they're games!
WoW ban masters laugh at FFXI {Joystiq}
Jul 27th 2006 2:54AM To the ones crying about the title, it's called sarcasm for god's sake. It was in no way an insult to FFXI so just give up. Second, about making a game in which it "isn't possible to hack," that's virtually impossible. For every genius geek at Blizz theres 100 genius geeks to find ways to hack the game. Third, you don't see people hacking in Guild Wars because nobody plays Guild Wars, or FFXI for that matter. It's like how theres never viruses for Macs because they account for such a small portion of the market that it's not worthwhile.
Now Flame away because frankly I don't care.

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) speculated that Christie Vilsack's (D) campaign against him has as much to do with her husband's political ambitions as her own, the Des Moines Register reports.

The cost of Xgeva varies widely among countries. Xgeva (Denosumab) is a medication that halts destruction of bone structure. Denosumab is approved in many countries in North America, Europe and Asia, so its price varies widely.
Denosumab works by inhibiting activity of the RANKL ligand, a protein that signals the body to increase activity of osteoclasts which erodes and dissolves the bones. By inhibiting activity of RANKL ligand, bone resorption is inhibited which allows bone rebuilding to take place. This special mode of action is not seen in other medicines, which can explain high Xgeva price.
Denosumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody, and it is only produced in special laboratories. To produce it, certain antibodies with desirable qualities are harvested and raised under special conditions to help it acquire qualities to make it effective against particular antigens. In Denosumab, antibodies are raised to bind in antigens in RANKL ligands, and inactivating them. After desirable qualities are imbued to it, antibodies are cloned to hundreds and millions of times to make the medication. This special development process can also explain why the cost of Xgeva is high.
Xgeva is introduced in the market in 2010 when it first gained approval from the U.S Food and Drug Administration and European Union's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP). Because it is considered a new player and there are no medicines with similar actions yet, the Xgeva price remains high.
Xgeva remains effective in maintaining and enhancing bone integrity even in cases wherein the bone has metastases. If you have cancer and you have fractures, your condition can worsen and deteriorate. Xgeva is prescribed to help ease recovery to patients undergoing therapy. Using Xgeva can help reduce risk of fractures effectively and safely so even if the cost of Xgeva is high, it is worth it.
In pharmacies and treatment centers, Xgeva price is high. You may find better Xgeva prices in online pharmacies, although not many dispense the medication. Many online pharmacies do not dispense medicines like Xgeva due to its storage requirements; it must be stored at cool temperatures but never frozen and must not be shaken. And many pharmacies do not want the trouble of delivering medicines at such strict requirements.
If you want to have cheaper Xgeva monthly cost, try to look for online pharmacies that dispense it. For medicines like Xgeva, search and buy at Cancer Treatment Meds.
The Xgeva price in Australia varies from hospitals. Xgeva is approved for Australia, and it is better known in this country as Prolia.
If you need Xgeva, order now at Cancer Treatment Meds. We have Xgeva at lower prices, and we deliver anywhere in Australia. Besides Xgeva, Cancer Treatment Meds also have other recently approved medicines that are still not seen in pharmacies. Cancer Treatment Meds also have other medicines that are just approved in the United States and Europe, and we deliver them to almost all countries around the world. We make regular deliveries to Australia, and we help you have access to new and advanced medications.
There is no information about Xgeva price in Canada, but it surely varies from hospitals. Xgeva is available in Canada, and can be purchased in hospitals and treatment centers in this country.
If you are in Canada, you can order Xgeva at Cancer Treatment Meds. We have Xgeva at cheaper prices, and we make them available to Canadian customers by sending deliveries to Canada. Cancer Treatment Meds has the most advanced medicines for treatment of cancer and orphan diseases. We are a registered and legal online pharmacy that specializes in medicines like Xgeva, and we are in business for several years and are supplying medications to numerous clients in many countries.
There is no information about the Xgeva price in China. There is no information if Xgeva is available in People's Republic of China or if Amgen has secured rights to sell the medication in this country.
If you are in China, be extra careful when you find Xgeva in pharmacies. Drug counterfeiting is a serious and widespread problem in China, and you can easily purchase fake medicines in this country. The Xgeva you might find in pharmacies there might not be original, as they may look and be packaged like real ones. To avoid harming yourself with fake medicines, order your Xgeva at Cancer Treatment Meds. We deliver Xgeva to any city and town in People's Republic of China.
The Xgeva price in Germany varies a lot among hospitals. Xgeva in Germany is better known as Prolia, with lower dose of Denosumab.
If you are in Germany, you can order Xgeva at Cancer Treatment Meds. We have Xgeva, and other medicines used to treat cancers of the breasts, kidneys, lungs and prostate and colon. And Cancer Treatment Meds also have medications used to treat orphan and rare diseases. We make regular deliveries in Germany, in all cities and towns. And all medicines at Cancer Treatment Meds are sold at prices you can better afford. Order now and see how much you can save on your Xgeva treatment!
There is no good information about Xgeva price in Japan. Xgeva is approved for sale in Japan and you can find it in hospitals in this country, where it is jointly marketed by AstraZeneca and Daiichi-Sankyo.
If you are in Japan and you need cheaper priced Xgeva, call us at Cancer Treatment Meds and place an order. Our medicines such as Xgeva are available at lower price, plus we deliver to any city and town in Japan. Cancer Treatment Meds is a registered pharmacy and a legal distributor of Xgeva, and to comply with local and international regulations, we require customers to submit a valid prescription of the medicine. After confirming the prescription with the doctor who made it, we will then process your order.
The Xgeva price in UK varies largely among treatment centers. Like in Germany, Xgeva in United Kingdom is sold as Prolia.
If you need Xgeva and you are in the United Kingdom, order it now at Cancer Treatment Meds. Besides Xgeva, we also have medicines used to treat cancer and orphan diseases. Cancer Treatment Meds makes deliveries anywhere in the United Kingdom, so you can order Xgeva and wait for it to come to your location. Cancer Treatment Meds delivers Xgeva in sealed and sterilized containers to ensure that the medicine will not be contaminated during travel, and when you receive your order, you will find it still inside its original untampered packaging.
The Xgeva price in US is different from hospital to hospital. Xgeva is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat post-menopausal osteoporosis and to reduce risk of fractures in patients with tumour metastasis on the bone.
If you are in the United States, you can also have Xgeva by ordering at Cancer Treatment Meds. We help you save money by giving you access to cheaper Xgeva, and by delivering the order right to your home so you don't have to travel to search and purchase medicines. When you order medicines like Xgeva, you have the option to have our customer representatives assist you – in that way, you are sure to only receive quality and helpful service.
There is no information about the Xgeva price in Mexico. In Mexico, Xgeva is sold as Prolia and is also marketed by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).
If you are in Mexico, you can also have Xgeva at lower price by ordering at Cancer Treatment Meds. We deliver Xgeva and other medicines to any town in Mexico. Cancer Treatment Meds uses insured first-priority airmail to send its orders, so your Xgeva is sure to arrive at your location no matter what. We also use local couriers as appropriate to make sure that the order arrives at customer's address at any country.
There is no good information about the Xgeva price in India. Xgeva is sold as Prolia in India, and it is indicated for osteoporosis, bone metastases, rheumatoid arthritis and giant cell tumour of the bone.
Be wary of purchasing medicines in India as drug counterfeiting is a problem in this country. You may purchase fake Xgeva and mistake it as a real medication. Using fake medicines can cause illness, poisoning or even death. Avoid fake drugs by ordering Xgeva directly at Cancer Treatment Meds. We have Xgeva and we make regular deliveries at any town in India. All medicines at Cancer Treatment Meds are original; our Xgeva is made only by Amgen, and certified effective for use.
There is no reliable information about the Xgeva price in Russia. Amgen has filed an application for marketing Xgeva in Russia, but there is no information when it will be approved.
If you are in Russia, you can have Xgeva by ordering at Cancer Treatment Meds. We have Xgeva and variety of other medicines used for cancer and orphan diseases. We are a one-stop shop for advanced medications, and we are the number one source of medicines for oncologists, pharmacists and patients around the world.

Tasting Menus Let Chefs Play, Guests Benefit
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Those who wish to be a little more indulgent, a little more decadent, and try some more luxurious items, will be happy to hear chefs are turning more and more to tasting menus.
With tasting menus chefs can create dishes with ingredients they might not use ordinarily, including luxury cuts of meat. While some chefs offer tasting menus as a matter of course, others put them together for special events and occasions -- including Restaurant Week, which is just around the corner in New York City. (In fact, here it actually takes place over two weeks).
TravelsinTaste has rounded up some of the most luxurious Restaurant Week tasting menus with mouthwatering ingredients you won't want to miss.
In New York, Strip House's executive chef, John Schenk, has created a luxurious tasting menu for an exclusive Jan. 30 event: A Decadent Sunday Night Supper at Strip House. This $150 menu (inclusive of wine pairing, tax and gratuity) includes Foie Gras Raviolo with Oyster Mushrooms and Black Truffle Cream; Filet Mignon Carpaccio; and Standing Prime Rib Roast Au Jus with Yorkshire Pudding and Creamy Horseradish. It's topped off with a Baked Alaska for dessert. This once-in-a-lifetime event is hosted at a communal table for 10 serious foodies. "Tasting menus give me the opportunity to take our everyday great ingredients at Strip House and tweak them to refract different tastes and combinations. I can play with the ideas I have been thinking of doing for the menu and see how they work in an actual 'in service' environment," Schenk said. "Also there is the feeling of being out of one's comfort zone and cooking without a net -- frighteningly fun." Of course, there's another way to do the tasting menu: Let your guests do the choosing. Executive Chef Daniel Humm recently changed the entire focus of his menus at Eleven Madison Park to an omakase style, meaning he provides a list of principal ingredients from which guests make choices and discuss preferences. The kitchen designs the meal from there. Principal ingredients include such decadent items as foie gras, white truffle and, of course, beef. A four-course dinner is $125, while five courses cost $195. The miX restaurant at Mandalay Bay (MGM - Get Report) serves world-renowned chef Alain Ducasse's Grand Tasting Menu for $120, not including tax and gratuity each night. Another $55 adds a wine pairing. The latest menu includes the piece de resistance, a Filet Mignon Rossini with Foie Gras & Black Truffle topped off with Baba Au Rhum. Valentine's Day is always associated with luxury ingredients, and a number of tasting menus are being prepared with the holiday in mind. Emeril Lagasse's Table 10 at the Palazzo (LVS - Get Report) in Vegas is serving a tasting menu for the occasion for $95, exclusive of tax and gratuity. It stars a Seared Filet Mignon on Lobster Smashed Potatoes with an Artichoke Black Truffle Ragout. Meanwhile, the Venetian Tao's Valentine's Day Tasting menu contains a half-dozen fresh oysters served on the half shell and topped with a Yuzu-Champagne Gelee to start and a Surf 'n Turf with six ounces of Kobe filet grilled and served alongside three jumbo prawns, seasoned with salt and pepper and lightly dusted in flour and wok fried. The dish is finished with X.O. sauce and stir-fried chinese broccoli. Strip House in Houston is hosting a Remy Martin dinner pairing Feb. 9 in homage to the gentlemen of AMC's Mad Men. Schenk is preparing a four-course meal with Filet Mignon Rossini with Louis XIII Butter & Black Truffle Bordelaise, Black Truffle Creamed Spinach and Shallot Tempura. >To submit a news tip, email: firstname.lastname@example.com TheStreet.com on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook.

New Eminem Music Could Involve Chris Rock
Eminem has been teasing fans with rumors of a new album in 2013 and now it looks like Chris Rock might be a part of the plans.
Eminem has been teasing fans with rumors of a new album in 2013 and now it looks like Chris Rock might be a part of the plans.
It looks like Big Sean's dreams of collaborating with Eminem have finally come to fruition. The duo was photographed together in the studio on Friday (April 26) as reported by Miss Info.
The true essences of hip hop is having a message staying positive and holding nothing back.
But sometimes you just have to let go and have fun, and just act straight up silly sometimes.
This is where the art of freestyling comes in.
A$AP Rocky is a little butt hurt from being placed at number 8 on MTV's hottest MC's list. A$AP actually feels as if he should be ranked number 1!
Really Rocky? So you feel as if you should be higher ranked then , Drake, Lil Wayne, Eminem, Jay-Z? I'm sorry I like some of your songs, but your not even close to that league yet homie..
This 'Goat Remix' collection might be solid proof that there is life beyond our plant.
We're getting closer and closer to seeing '20/20,' courtesy of that 'Suit & Tie'-wearing crooner known as Justin Timberlake.
Donald Trump is pissed at Mac Miller for using his name for his hit song "Donald Trump" and now Mr. Trump wants his cut.
I don't care how good of a rapper you are, going to war with Donald Trump could be the dumbest move anybody could do. Don't let the TV show and flashy personality fool you. I'm pretty sure that Donald Trump behind doors is a complete monster.
This is probably the most amazing video I have ever seen.
I really hope this child received a drum set this past holiday, because he could literally be a one man band.
Who knows he could even be the next great Hip Hop producer, such as Dre. Dre, Pharrell, Eminem, or Will. I. A. Am.
The last time these two got together on a song it was a hit and think this trend is going to continue.
50 cent teams up with Eminem and Adam Levine to drop 'My Life' and Flint's own Andre Dirrell makes a special appearance!
Detroit and Flint are shining hard in this video! And you can't talk about Detroit without bringing up Chrysler and Eminem... and you get a healthy dose of both! Are we seeing the return of Eminem back into the radio airways? I hope so!

A response to Lenard Segnitz's letter to the editor, Canada's Postal Service Obsolete, The Daily News, Dec. 16.
I am involved in several seniors' programs and volunteer for at least three of them and there are a lot of "dinosaurs" like me, who are not online.
We are not addicted to an electronic device, as Mr. Segntiz seems to be. We still like to communicate personally.
I send 50 some odd cards at Christmas, several parcels as well as birthday cards and letters throughout the year. I also receive all my bills by mail.
If society goes completely electronic, there will be a lot of people, especially seniors, who will suffer. For some, this is their main source of communication with the outside world.
I hope we can continue to have door-to-door delivery because many people can't walk any distance.
Also, to keep the economy flowing in our fair city, is it not better for the environment to have postal delivery persons going out and about than encouraging an air-polluting mine close to our city?
Regarding wages, $23.11 per hour is just a family supporting wage these days.
I don't think time can or should stand still, but I find it quite sad that so many people are "hooked" to their electronic devices and don't see or "smell the roses" anymore

Not what we expected
By Rebecca L. from Seattle, WA on Jun 23, 2010
The golden color shown online turns out to be more yellow and not appealing in our opinion - but the biggest disappointment was that it was made of a plastic material. We also purchased the matching pendant and it was made of a ceramic material. We are returning this one and keeping the pendant.

It's just ok
By Georgana H. from Hellertown, PA on Dec 27, 2013
Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
I ordered this light to go into the master bedroom with a 8 foot ceiling. The light looks ok but it is not the porcelain material that I thought it was going to be. This is made of resin and looks a bit on the cheap side. I only paid about 200.00 for it so I guess I should have known. I do have shades from this company that are made of porcelain and they look great! So pay for the better quality and you'll be happy. For now it will stay until I find something better then this will go into a closet.

Why do guys like to finger girls?
Just curious. I was wondering. Why do men enjoy doing it. What do they get out of it?
Most Helpful Opinion
Honestly for me, it's something I don't have and you do. Something I don't get to do everyday. It's fun to play with it because to me I can see what you get to see daily. Something different if you will, instead of the same old you know. It's exciting because it's something New and exciting all the time, and how it's totally different getting her off as opposed to myself. It's just a cool feeling, it's like getting to see what having one would be like for five seconds without being able to feel it yourself, but getting as close as possible to that. I don't know that may sound weird I'm sure my opinion is very different from other guys. To me it's just because for once I get to see a girls side of masterbation which is cool! Fun! And very interesting because it's just so different, but in a good way. It's also fun to see what things that we like with speed, pressure etc, that are similar and what things aren't. It's nice to see that there are some similarities and some differences, by that I mean sometimes when I'm playing with a girls pussy; she'll look up at me and give me that WOW look because I did something as a guy, that she either 1. never thought of 2. Couldn't think up herself because females don't have quite as much sexual drive as males do most times. Some females do have a lot of drive, but males have more testosterone, which makes us want it more usually. So when we are playing with it for you, we are a little more wild most times than you yourself would be, and sometimes that can conspire into the WOW look of WOW that was amazing I never thought about moving my fingers/hands that way. It's by far a huge turn on. Very fun. Very interesting at least to me. Also educational for both sexes involved, either way. Weather your playing with him, or he's playing with you. The same things I described do sometimes occur we even will go wow, what she just did was amazing I never even thought about that. Because women are more sensual most times, because of that they will do things lightly, and sometimes that can drive a guy wild because of just the different approach of what he's used to it's new cool and once again a learning experience for both and very fun.
you took like 20 years to answer this and literally repeated half the sentences. calm down.
What's Your Opinion?
What Guys Said 7
At which stage in the process are we talking about here. While in the middle of sex, or while trying to get the girl to sleep with you? Many girls tell you they want to fool around, but don't want to have sex. My experience taught me that in these situations it was safer to tell a girl, 'oh, I get off just by giving you oral, or fingering you. ' Then the girl would agree to have that done. Of course, 99% of the times, once they agreed to do that, the inevitable---having sex--soon followed. While having sex, fingering is good cause it gives you time to keep the momentum going, or it can be used for foreplay, etc.
Your Right in the fact we don't get any Pleasure from fingering a girl, however do women get any Pleasure from giving a man a blow job or hand job? No but it is done because we know that it gives the girl pleasure and for me at least knowing that she is getting pleasure is all that I need.
It's comforting and enjoyable, and a pleasure to give pleasure, it's not easy to explain without going into explicit detail. Why do girls like jerking guys off or giving blow-jobs?
they don't exactly. they do it cuz they know the guy wants it and she can't just not give something back.
What Girls Said 2
I think the biggest thing would be they get to see how it turns you on, if they think they are giving you pleasure by doing this it can be a huge turn on for them.To you guys who say girls don't get anything out of it, I'm not sure I agree, I can't help but think, I get excited/turned on when I give oral or a hand job to my guy . I get to see how much pleasure I'm giving him, that in it's self , is a big turn on, not to mention the look , feel, taste etc... of the whole experience.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22464058 So the total WoW Subscribers are at about 7.7 million now. If they lost 3 million they would be at 4.7 million. Does any MMO even come close to that number? Guild Wars 2 probably doesn't even have 4.7 million games sold. I can't think of any MMO that has that many active/semi active subscribers. |
And how many EU/USA subs will that be ? They used that propaganda for the longest time, show us the real western sub number instead of the asian netcafe stuff. Never understodd why they dint even showed is real numbers from continents.... |
Originally posted by Imperator101 Yeah, but what would the trend line look like and what would come after they lost 3 million? SWTOR is the greatest mmo ever! |
Originally posted by Mothanos this really ... I've been interested in western sub numbers for quite some years now ... The whole sub debate is flawed for the simple reason people keep comparing apples to oranges |
Originally posted by Imperator101 who cares? i was a wow sub for 8 years before i move to RIFT, a few weeks ago. number of subs doesn't make a game better or makes you have more fun. i have much more fun in RIFT with 1/10 of wow population. so who cares about subs, besides blizz? |
Depends where those 3 million more subs go. If they all go to the one game then WoW might no longer be top. I think what is happening though is they are slowly bleeding subscribers to other games. A fair few went to GW2, some to TSW, some to Tera, some to Rift, some to Neverwinter, etc. Even if each new game only takes away 250K subscribers from WoW it's numbers will eventually decrease over time people weigh up maintaining a WoW subscription they barely use vs. playing some new F2P to B2P game. The Enlightened take things Lightly |
Originally posted by Imperator101 Define "TOP MMMO" rules? Going by your opinion you look at sub numbers. I look at content, playability, challenge, fun. Going by my ruleset WOW doesn't even appear in the top 10. WOW is probably financially+Sub numbers #1, but as far as creativity, challenges, content goes there are much better mmo's out there.

Ok Lets look at blizzard compiled nubmers http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=17062 Now the important bit is WoW now hosts more than 2 million subscribers in Europe, more than 2.5 million in North America, and approximately 5.5 million in Asia. so we can assume see back when this was run 45% of the WoW players came from US/EU - I think it would be a safe premise to work on the 45% of active subs still from same areas, so currently they only have in region of (45% of 8mill = 3.25mill) so it would be a valid guess to say that only 3-3.5mill (+/- 10%) of active paying monthly subs So nothing like the headling press of 8mill subs, and if that puts it in the 3mill market then i would suggest that Blizzard time as number one as gone. Also searching a bit more i cam across this blog http://mmodata.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/v39-ready-working-on-v40.html which pretty much backs up my 15minutes of research and considering GW2 sold 3mill http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/01/15/guild-wars-2-outlines-2013-plans-announce-3-million-copies-sold/ copies at start of this year its fair to say that even if WoW is still leading then its margins are maybe 10% above its rivals, long since gone are their nonchelant we will always be number 1 crap.. welcome to dog fight Blizzard... nb BTW blizzard developers im sure SoE or ArenaNet are looking for some developer (j/k) This post is all my opinion, but I welcome debate on anything i have put, however, personal slander / name calling belongs in game :) were of course your welcome to call me names im often found lounging about in EvE online. |

Originally posted by Aroukos Of course it matters! It's the only way those that have serious compensation issues can justify continuing to play it. Well everyone else is playing it so it MUST be the best... Right? Who cares if the vast majority of those 7.7 million subs are probably in China and NOT here in the West. I do agree with you though. Let Blizzard and the WoW fanbois that have to use this old, stagnant argument to feel better about themselves care about sub numbers. I'll play games that I find fun and not let over-inflated sub numbers decide that for me. |
Pretty much. Number of subs in the West is not more then numbers of MoP copies sold (and that is said to be around the 2.7mil mark). Also, not all that bought the new expac, continue playing it. I'd dare to say WoW is nowhere near as much ahead as they want people to think. And don't get me wrong, even 2 mill subs is still a lively game, and by all means a success, given proper management. Trouble with Blizz, is that last part ;) The ability of businesses of all sorts, to misinterpret numbers, or just plain lie about the state of things, that goes "unnoticed" is absolutely ridiculous and should be illegal. But then, we all have brains. It's up to us to use them :) |

Originally posted by Muke Yeah, but watching the WoW fanbois attempt to convince everyone that their game is so awesome because there are millions in Asia not paying a "monthly sub" that are over-inflating Blizzards numbers makes them the superior gamer because of it is/can be fun to read sometimes. Their attempts to overcompensate for something lacking in their existence can be down right hilarious and even bring about sympathy once you realize that many are using a damn video game's sub numbers to feel good about themselves. What a sad, sad state we must be in as a society for these people to need to be apart something successful to bring a sense of accomplishment to their miserable lives. |

Bear in mind that from the standpoint of a business, profit is the one and *only* indicator of success. Nothing else matters in the slightest. A new MMO that got a Zero score on metacritic and had 27 active players at peak, but that somehow made $100m profit (maybe those 27 players really love the cash shop!) would be a huge success in the only way that matters to a company. That said, its impossible to get any information about the *Profit* generated in 2012 by any one major MMO due to revenue and cost numbers nearly always being made public for the entire publisher/studio only, rather than one game, or the cost numbers for developing/operating a game not being known. With all that in mind, Activision Blizzard is currently sitting at a $16.3 billion market cap, compared to a $3 billion market cap for NCsoft, $6.6 billion for Electronic Arts, and $20.4 billion for Sony (which includes tens of thousands of products). So total value-wise, Activision-Blizzard is looking very, very strong, easily in the #1 spot for a "video game only" company I'd wager. |

as you can see whilst WoW is a top selling game blizzard come in at number 8 the one thing i cannot say from this list is if its numbers is based on profit or sales volume, but I would hazard a guess at it being sales volume, the biggest thing for WoW is that in terms of MMO its streets ahead. but in terms of the bigger Gaming industry its just a major - and not THE player This post is all my opinion, but I welcome debate on anything i have put, however, personal slander / name calling belongs in game :) were of course your welcome to call me names im often found lounging about in EvE online. |

1. What was your first cosplay?
Robin Sena from Witch Hunter Robin. I wore her to my first convention, Otakon 2004.
2. Did someone get you into cosplay? Or on your own?
I got myself into it. Otakon's website mentioned cosplay, one thing led to another, and eventually I was browsing the Cosplay.com galleries thinking, "Hey, I could do this, too!"
3. What is your favourite cosplay?
It's hard to pick a favourite, but I have to admit my fondest memories are of Naruto. I worked really hard to make him accurate and well-constructed (seeing as the fandom doesn't have the best reputation), and it was just WAY too much fun being a little stinkpot. The shenanigans, oh the shenanigans.
4. Which is your least favourite?
Gaara & Shippuden Gaara. A nightmare I willingly inflicted on myself and my friends not once, but TWICE. :C
5. At conventions, do people compliment you on your cosplays?
Generally. Though oddly, the costumes that have gotten the biggest reactions have been my shittiest. LOL.
6. How many have you done?
Somewhere upwards of 50? I lost track a long time ago.
7. What are the top 5 on your list of "Want to Cosplay?"
1) General Beatrix (FFIX) - In Progress for Summer 2010
2) "Fall" Tink (Tinker Bell & the Lost Treasure) - In Progress for Summer 2010
3) Makoto Kusanagi (Ghost in the Shell: SAC) - Planned for Summer/Fall 2010
4) Secret McSecret (Blah Blah Blah Blahblah) - Planned for Summer/Fall 2010
5) Summoner Yuna 2.0 (FFX) - Planned for Fall 2010
8. What female cosplay do you want to do most?
Right now I'm really psyched for Kusanagi, since I've been streaming GitS on Netflix. Her design is radically different from anything I've ever made, and I'm anxious to see how it goes. Plus almost all of my photographer friends LOVE the show, so I know i can count on super badass pictures.
9. What male cosplay do you want to do most?
Kiddy Chrno from Chrno Crusade. I have dreamed of making him for YEARS, and the time has never been quite right. Maybe one day.
10. What do you prefer to do, make or buy your costumes?
I make all of my costumes.
11. Your most memorable experience? What makes it so memorable?
Gag cosplaying Team Rocket with Kate. We threw our costumes together in maybe 10 minutes and were literally swamped at the convention. It made me realize, "WOW. This Pokemon thing is OUT OF CONTROL." (Apologies, but I'm not a fan.)
12. Your dream cosplay?
I honestly don't have one anymore. Every costume I make anymore is a little bit of a dream, since I never thought I'd have the skills to make half the things I do nowadays. Maybe Danielle's "Just Breath" gown from "Ever After?"
13. Is there a pattern in your cosplays? If so, what?
Final Fantasy? LOL, I'm absolutely taken with this series and I love the characters so much. I will not stop until I've cosplayed them all, I swear!
14. Your most recent cosplay?
Human Luna (Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon) and Tinker Bell (Disney Fairies). I don't think Leonard (Big Bang Theory) counts, LOL.
15. What do you prefer? Cosplaying in a group or on your own?
I don't have a particular preference. If all groups were low-stress, I would definitely pick "group," but unfortunately things rarely go smoothly.

Qualcomm has landed new partnerships with Monster and Fon for its AllPlay media-streaming system.
Monster, a maker of audio cables and headphones, will integrate AllPlay into its SoundStage wireless speakers, while Wi-Fi network firm Fon will provide AllPlay in its Gramofon streaming-music box, due out later this year, according to the chip maker.
First announced in September 2013, AllPlay allows users to wirelessly stream music from mobile apps, such as Spotify and iHeartRadio, to multiple speakers in their homes
The system integrates with the Qualcomm's AllJoyn software framework, an open source software and services framework from the AllSeen Alliance.
"It is our goal to continue to bring interoperability and choice not only to our consumers, but also to other leaders in the audio industry," said Rob Chandhok, President of Qualcomm Connected Experiences.
"We have set out to expand our media platform so that as many developers and brands as possible can participate in this ecosystem. This not only drives the audio industry forward, but continues to provide the choice and flexibility consumers are looking for."
Noel Lee, CEO of Monster, said: "With SoundStage Monster, we wanted to bring an easy to use wireless streaming music experience and the AllPlay platform allows us to deliver that differentiated experience."
Other partnerships adopting the system include Digital Audio Recording FM, RecoChoki and Style Jukebox.
Qualcomm also made available its development kit for any app or music service provider.

In the past year, IT executive transitions in the public sector have occurred at a particularly rapid rate. In the 15 Cabinet departments, six CIOs or acting CIOs have been on the job for less than a year, and that pattern is similar among independent agencies.
Leadership transitions are a high-risk time in the life of every executive. CEB analyzed data from more than 2,200 matched pairs of transitioning leaders and their managers from the public and private sectors to uncover how well transitioning leaders performed during a change.
The results showed significant cause for concern. The good news is that only a small proportion — 2.5 percent — of transitions fail spectacularly. The bad news is that it's not just the high-profile flameouts that are a problem. An alarming 46 percent of all transitioning leaders underperform during their transitions. They survive but don't thrive, and they reach full productivity an average of nine months later than their higher-performing peers.
Furthermore, for those less-successful transitions, the ripple effect from the leader's underperformance creates significant risk and cost for the entire organization, with damage that includes lagging employee productivity, disengagement, attrition and lost business opportunities.
Government IT executives face additional challenges. Acute fiscal pressures and shrinking budgets mean new leaders must quickly deliver cost-efficiency improvements through consolidation and transitions to shared services. At the same time, IT must deliver improved speed and responsiveness to business partners who view technology as a critical enabler of mission agendas.
Given the current environment, ensuring successful leadership transitions is more important than ever. What should transitioning leaders and their agencies concentrate on to drive successful performance from the start?
Provide long-term support. The organizations with the most successful leadership transitions deliver support strategies across an extended period, not just during the first 100 days of a new executive's tenure.
Engage stakeholders. Because IT is increasingly becoming a strategic advisory function, new IT executives should quickly be able to answer questions such as: "Who are my key stakeholders, and what are their perceptions of IT's effectiveness?" Building relationships and identifying the expectations of the senior executive team are crucial steps in developing a strategic outlook for IT. However, successful transitions require active participation from managers, business partners and direct reports.
Take a strategic view. Progressive organizations develop a strategic enterprise view of IT to help ensure informed decisions. The new PortfolioStat guidelines require updates to agencies' Information Resources Management Strategic Plans, which underscores the need for IT executives to link goals to mission strategy, ensure they stay relevant, make assumptions clear and include a process for re-evaluating strategies as assumptions change.
Measure performance. Instituting IT performance measurement can drive fact-based decision-making, provide resource allocation insight, and serve as a tool to communicate and deliver continuous improvement in IT.
Plan for workforce changes. Rather than planning to address attrition, IT leaders should prepare for the emergence of new, critical IT-related roles across the next several years. Developing a multi-year outlook for the IT workforce will provide clearer direction on how to identify and address skills gaps that could affect achievement of strategic goals.
Modernize the IT portfolio. Successful management of the technology portfolio depends on the ability of IT executives to transition the current environment to support emerging government mandates such as data center consolidation and cloud computing.
By focusing on these key priorities, new IT leaders are more likely to perform solidly in their roles, support their business partners and teams, and contribute to the achievement of mission objectives for their agencies.

South Africa won their only ICC Trophy, the inaugural ICC Mini World Cup -- now known as the Champions Trophy -- in 1998 in Bangladesh, where they arrived yesterday to take part in the ICC World Twenty20.
Nonetheless, they do have an astonishing track record of being the form team in world cups and then throwing it all away at the knockout stage. That has earned them the unwanted tag of chokers and the unavoidable staple question at pre-tournament press conferences.
"You can take it anyway you want, but we have to be playing our best cricket every day," said South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis in a press conference at a Dhaka hotel after the team's arrival in the city yesterday. "So when it comes to, as you say choking, for me its simple -- you need to make sure that you give yourself the best opportunity by playing well. As long as the other team plays better cricket I can accept that, but not if you don't give your best."
South Africa have a great bowling attack, but their weakness may be their spinners. "We were in Sri Lanka (last year) and beat Sri Lanka, who have really good spinners. We were in Dubai and we beat Pakistan who also have very good spinners.
"Imran Tahir has done very well for us. It's not required to go for four runs an over because he takes wickets and that is very important for a captain. We have got JP Duminy, and he has been doing very well as a back-up spinner. When you come to Bangladesh it's not always just spin, fast bowlers do well here too and we have got a good attack when it comes to fast bowlers. For me it is about adjusting to these conditions," said Du Plessis.
The batting is no less potent, with tyros such as Quinton de Kock and David Miller in the side, as well as the all-round brilliance of AB de Villiers. "I think our whole batting line-up, like most of the tournament's other teams, has got destructive hitters. AB has proven so many times in IPL cricket how destructive he can be. So is Miller. And even other guys, guys like Hashim Amla who are under the radar, are quality batsmen."
Amla himself was not too fussed about translating his form in the longer forms into T20 cricket. "I played a domestic T20 series back home, and things went pretty well for me.
The basic of the game stays the same, but a few more shots are played. Players like me genrally come in at the top of the order with the hitters coming lower down. If you look around the world there are batsman like (Kumar) Sangakkara and (Mahela) Jayawardene -- both of whom are orthodox batsmen but outstanding T20 batsmen as well," Amla said.
South Africa are a team known for their discipline and attention to detail. That they live inside a bubble of their own was proven when pacer Lonwabo Tsotsobe, who is likely to be a fringe performer in this tournament, was asked about the tournament's opening game which was taking place as he was talking to the press.
"There's a match going on now?" he asked incredulously about the tournament's opener between Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
