I like the concept of the allover print, but the color is too skin-toned to stand out on most people and the granny-like cut of a high neckline and long sleeves gets rid of anything fashionable about this shirt.

I don't like the back and this is definitely not worth $55.

5 highlights from Susan Rice's diplomatic career
- By Elias GrollElias Groll is an assistant editor at Foreign Policy. A native of Stockholm, Sweden, he received his undergraduate degree from Harvard University, where he was the managing editor of The Harvard Crimson.

As John Hudson points out at The Cable, Susan Rice has pulled off a remarkable professional comeback. Just six months ago, the U.N. ambassador withdrew her name from consideration for secretary of state amid intense opposition from congressional Republicans over misleading statements she made about the Benghazi attacks. Now she's been tapped to succeed Tom Donilon as President Obama's national security advisor.
Then again, maybe we shouldn't be so surprised about Rice's ability to bounce back from controversy. During her two decades inside the Beltway, Rice has been no stranger to incoming fire. Here are five moments from her career that will surely dominate water-cooler chatter in Washington this week.
The Benghazi Talking Points Debacle
On Sept. 16, 2012, Rice appeared on several Sunday talk shows to discuss the recent attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that left Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead. During her appearances, Rice, speaking from talking points prepared during a contentious interagency process, said that the attacks were a spontaneous response to an anti-Muslim video posted on the Internet. That assessment turned out to be incorrect, and congressional Republicans targeted Rice in their efforts to expose a White House cover-up. Here's video from one of those appearances:
The Rwandan Genocide
When mass killings erupted in Rwanda in April 1994, Rice was serving on the National Security Council and was part of a coterie of U.S. officials who took little action to stop violence that would ultimately leave at least 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus dead.
Here's how Samantha Power — a former journalist who worked as a human rights official in the Obama administration and who will be nominated to replace Rice at the U.N. — described Rice's role during the genocide:
Even after the reality of genocide in Rwanda had become irrefutable, when bodies were shown choking the Kagera River on the nightly news, the brute fact of the slaughter failed to influence U.S. policy except in a negative way. American officials, for a variety of reasons, shunned the use of what became known as "the g-word." They felt that using it would have obliged the United States to act, under the terms of the 1948 Genocide Convention. They also believed, understandably, that it would harm U.S. credibility to name the crime and then do nothing to stop it. A discussion paper on Rwanda, prepared by an official in the Office of the Secretary of Defense and dated May 1, testifies to the nature of official thinking. Regarding issues that might be brought up at the next interagency working group, it stated,
1. Genocide Investigation: Language that calls for an international investigation of human rights abuses and possible violations of the genocide convention. Be Careful. Legal at State was worried about this yesterday-Genocide finding could commit [the U.S. government] to actually "do something." [Emphasis added.]
At an interagency teleconference in late April, Susan Rice, a rising star on the NSC who worked under Richard Clarke, stunned a few of the officials present when she asked, "If we use the word 'genocide' and are seen as doing nothing, what will be the effect on the November [congressional] election?" Lieutenant Colonel Tony Marley remembers the incredulity of his colleagues at the State Department. "We could believe that people would wonder that," he says, "but not that they would actually voice it." Rice does not recall the incident but concedes, "If I said it, it was completely inappropriate, as well as irrelevant."
Rice has faced criticism for turning a blind eye to the massacres in Rwanda, but her experience appears to have also had a profound impact on her understanding of the world. Here's Power again:
Susan Rice, Clarke's co-worker on peacekeeping at the NSC, also feels that she has a debt to repay. "There was such a huge disconnect between the logic of each of the decisions we took along the way during the genocide and the moral consequences of the decisions taken collectively," Rice says. "I swore to myself that if I ever faced such a crisis again, I would come down on the side of dramatic action, going down in flames if that was required." Rice was subsequently appointed NSC Africa director and, later, assistant secretary of state for African affairs; she visited Rwanda several times and helped to launch a small program geared to train selected African armies so that they might be available to respond to the continent's next genocide. The American appetite for troop deployments in Africa had not improved.
More recently, Rice has disputed the notion that she is eternally seeking to atone for events in Rwanda. "To suggest that I'm repenting for [Rwanda] or that I'm haunted by that or that I don't sleep because of that or that every policy I've ever implemented subsequently is driven by that is garbage," she told the New Republic in 2012.
But even if she has managed to move on from the tragedy, it is clear that Rwanda made her more willing to consider the use of American power for humanitarian ends — a perspective that surfaced during the debate over whether the United States should intervene in Libya in 2011. Some of Rice's most instructive comments on the issue came during an emotional speech she delivered on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the genocide. Judge for yourself whether she is still affected by what happened during those brutal months in 1994:
U.S. Intervention in Libya
During the Obama administration's internal debate over whether the United States should intervene in Libya on behalf of rebel forces, Rice emerged as a forceful advocate for intervention — and a critical player in lining up international support for the operation.
In a show of diplomatic jujitsu, she frustrated her allies at the United Nations by repeatedly putting a brake on efforts to draft a forceful Security Council resolution authorizing intervention. Little did they know that behind the scenes she had secretly
drafted a resolution authorizing airstrikes — despite the fact that she hadn't yet won White House support for the policy. When Obama finally came around to authorizing the use of military force, Rice rammed her resolution through the Security Council. In an institution not known for its ability to take swift action, Rice greased the wheels expertly and secured international backing for humanitarian intervention — no small feat.
Resolution 1929
During the first six months of 2010, Rice carried out an intensive lobbying effort to build a coalition at the Security Council that would pass additional sanctions against Iran for its unwillingness to abandon its nuclear program. As James Traub wrote in his profile of Rice for Foreign Policy:
Rice's aides say that she got down in the weeds of the resolution, battering her fellow diplomats with details of how Iran used foreign banks to obscure nuclear-related transactions. She was prepared to conduct her own foreign policy when necessary. When a fellow diplomat challenged her on a red-line issue, saying that Jones, the national security advisor, had laid out the administration's policy differently, Rice retorted, "I outrank General Jones."
Rice got results. Resolution 1929 imposed sanctions on Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, prohibited the sale of some heavy weapons to Iran, and called for the inspection of ships and airplanes suspected of carrying contraband cargo to or from Iran. It was a victory that won her plaudits within the White House.
Protecting Kagame?
Rwanda is the issue that won't go away for Rice. In late 2012, with an alleged Rwandan-backed insurgency wreaking havoc in eastern Congo, France's U.N. ambassador, Gérard Araud, urged Rice to exercise her influence with Rwandan President Paul Kagame — an old friend of hers and a staunch U.S. ally — to get the rebel forces, known as the M23, to back down. "Gerard, it's eastern Congo. If it were not the M23 killing people it would be some other armed groups," she reportedly responded. U.S. officials say that they have privately urged Kagame to end his support of the M23 movement, which seized Goma, the regional capital, a few a weeks after the conversation between Rice and Araud.
The United States has continued to protect the Rwandan government at the United Nations. Following the rebel assault on Goma, the Security Council passed a resolution condemning the group's actions. But at the urging of the United States, mention of Rwanda was dropped from the resolution.

Now that Deron Williams and Steve Nash have decided where they are playing next season, all attention turns to the upcoming Dwight Howard trade. Howard is on the record that he wants to go to Brooklyn, but it is increasingly becoming clear that the Magic want to make a deal with Los Angeles for Andrew Bynum. And according to Jackie Pepper of Comcast SportsNet in Boston, the Lakers are currently mulling over a trade from the Magic for Howard. Yes, we've heard reports like this before, but this one stands out a little more. Mainly because in this report, Pepper shares that the Lakers have already put one of their players on notice that he could be traded at any moment as part of a package to get Howard.

Bertrand explained that acids cannot be used as ligands to form a catalyst. Instead, bases must be used. While all boron compounds are acids, his lab has succeeded in making these compounds behave like bases. His lab achieved the result by modifying the number of electrons in boron, with no change to the atom's nucleus.
"It's almost like changing one atom into another atom," Bertrand said.
His research group stumbled upon the idea during one of its regular brainstorming meetings.
"I encourage my students and postdoctoral researchers to think outside the box and not be inhibited or intimidated about sharing ideas with the group," he said. "The smaller these brainstorming groups are, the freer the participants feel about bringing new and unconventional ideas to the table, I have found. About 90 percent of the time, the ideas are ultimately not useful. But then, about 10 percent of the time we have something to work with."
The research was supported by grants to Bertrand from the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy.
An internationally renowned scientist, Bertrand came to UCR in 2001 from France's national research agency, the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). He is the director of the UCR-CNRS Joint Research Chemistry Laboratory.

I am a barefoot runner at heart and have worked long and hard to program my mind and body to run efficiently with a gentle and smooth midfoot landing and strong upright form. When trying out shoes I will critique them based on whether or not they aid or impede my barefoot running form.
Quite simply, the Merrell Pace Glove is like a Vibrams One Finger. They have an excellent balance between protection and ground feel. I have gathered a nice tool box of minimal shoes so I have a basis of comparison.
I also was fortunate enough to try both the Pace and the Trail. This will be a review of the womens Pace gloves however I must add in some points about the Trail to have a balanced review.
The sole of the Pace Glove is the same as my VFF KSO Treks although a bit thicker to provide added protection. They have lugs on the the sole where the toes would be and make the One Finger reference even more fitting.
When I first was offered the shoes I was dubious about how minimal they were. They look like a much more substantial shoe in photographs. When I received them I was surprised and very pleased that they were so light and the sole so thin.
The first thing I did when taking them out of the box was to roll them into a ball and test how flexible and thin the sole really was. I also weighed them on my kitchen scale. The size 10 womens Pace Gloves weigh in at 6.1 ounces. The Pace Gloves are light, attractive, and have zero heel toe drop. They have great traction and seem very durable. These are excellent characteristics for a minimal shoe.
Both the Trail Glove and the Pace Glove have a protection area on the medial side of the sole that I find very hard not to think about. It does not support the arch however it is thicker than the same area on other minimal shoes like the VFF and Evo's. You can see it in the above photo above where you can see the sole of the shoe. Its like and extension of the sole. I do think it provides added protection however I think it is not necessary for most conditions.
During the Living History Farms Race I was racing along through the woods and stepped on a 3-4 inch cut off sapling hidden in some leaves. I was a bit bruised however the KSO Treks protected my foot with just the leather material. I think that replacing this area on the Gloves with thinner material would be a benefit in later versions. For the sake of brevity, that area of the shoe throws off my groove for the first couple miles until I forget that it is there. From another perspective, these shoes are the trail shoe in the Merrell barefoot lineup and meant to offer protection off road.
The pace glove has a stretchy area on the back of the ankle at the heel tab. It has led to much discussion on the forums and facebook. I personally did not notice any discomfort nor did I notice any distraction from the different style of the heel tab.
I found both the Pace and Trail to be comfortable with or without socks. The Trail Gloves rubbed on my right arch the first time without socks and then not a problem after that initial run. Due to the Pace gloves being a bit narrow I have not run over 12 miles at a time in them.
They are more comfortable after they have had some miles put on them although this is the case with most shoes after you break them in like a good pair of jeans! The Pace and Trail gloves both have two areas of EVA padding that makes them feel mildly cushioned. This was a strange feeling to have such a light shoe feel padded. The padding does seem to break down over time and reduce the cushioned feeling. It did not pose a problem with my running form and I did not experience any discomfort like I would with a conventional trainer. These shoes are pleasingly minimal overall.
I do however think the heel cup is much smaller in the womens Pace than the mens Trail Glove. I have narrow feet and even after considerable widening of my forefoot from running barefoot, I still have relatively narrow feet. I felt like the Pace Gloves were a hair too narrow overall. After a long run I expect my feet to swell and the shoes become uncomfortably tight and there is not enough give in the lacing system of the womens to accommodated this.
In comparison, the Trail Glove is wide enough to accommodate adequate splay yet the lacing allows for control over the tightness that keeps the shoe from sliding around on my feet as I run as well as room to accommodate swelling.
For shorter runs the Pace gloves do have enough room for me to wear wool socks. This does reduce the ground feel a little but not enough to sacrifice warmth when in the snow! I was very pleased at how warm my feet stayed despite being in very cold environments. The above photo was taken on a sunny 12 degree day here in Des Moines. The route I ran was my "hilly route" and I felt confident in my footing on the slick terrain. The upper of the shoe is mesh and has excellent breath-ability in the warmer months and yet kept my feet warm enough in the colder months as well.
Merrell has a reputation for making shoes that last for years and years and I think that the Barefoot Collection will be no different in this regard. I wouldn't be surprised if they become more comfortable as the miles add up. I think that you will be happy with either the Pace or the Trail depending on the width of your foot. If you have the opportunity to try them on before purchase I would recommend that.
They are available in select stores now however they will be available at the first of February.
I have been quite happy to work with Merrell and look forward to trying the the other styles in the womens line. I plan to wear the Merrell shoes to supplement my efforts at Mind the Ducks in May.

Angus was all smiles when he entered my studio and very confident for only being nineteen. He's not old enough to get into a bar but says he gets plenty of action from school and snowboarding. He is definitely not a shy guy and by flashing those pearly whites with a sexy smile, I'm sure that is how he gets the girls into threesomes with his roomies! His stamina was incredible! He beat his meat until I had to change videos for him to watch until he moaned and groaned himself into completion. He left a nice pearly pool on his fuzzy little belly.

"Angus" is really cute and sexy. Too bad he got caught up in one of these talk, talk, talk clips. With guys like "Angus", action, action, action is what's wanted, not a Barbara Walters interview.

When you load up a game page for editing that has a fuzzy First Release Date with a quarter specified, the editing form will increase the quarter specified by one. Thus if you then save the page you will have changed the release date for the title without knowing.
A good example is Axiom Verge. Release date is currently Q1 2015. Load it up in the editor, it becomes Q2 2015. Another is The Legend of Doodle, where Q2 becomes Q3, or Curses 'N Chaos where Q4 becomes an empty field (and that Q4 seems another case of the bug, as I believe the game should be Q3).

WWII's Doolittle Raiders mark 70 years
Associated Press
Surviving Doolittle Raider Richard Cole (right) salutes at a memorial service for the the 70th anniversary of the Doolittle raid on Tokyo at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio, on Wednesday. Four survivors took part in the ceremonies including David Thatcher (second from right) Thomas Griffin (left) and (not in picture) Edward Saylor.
Thousands of people flocked to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force near Dayton for the events, part of a four-day observance. The four Raiders looked up into blue skies Wednesday as 20 B-25 planes similar to the ones they used flew just before a memorial service that included the placing of a wreath at the memorial here to their mission and the playing of Taps.
Lt. Col. Richard Cole, at 96 the oldest surviving Raider, said all the attention surprises the Raiders, who earlier in the day gathered privately for their annual toast to those who have gone before them.
"We honor the people we lost, and we remember them, and then we enjoy the camaraderie of being together again," said Cole, a Dayton native who now lives in Comfort, Texas. He was the co-pilot for Lt. Col. James H. "Jimmy" Doolittle in the first of the planes launched off an aircraft carrier deck off Japan for the raid.
"We don't like to be singled out," Cole said of the festivities. "We were just part of a big team."
Attending were Maj. Thomas Griffin, 95, of suburban Cincinnati; Lt. Col. Edward Saylor, 92, of Puyallup, Wash., and Staff Sgt. David Thatcher, 90 of Missoula, Mont.
The fifth surviving Raider of the original 80 was unable to attend because of health issues. Lt. Col. Robert Hite, of Nashville, Tenn., is 92.
The April 18, 1942, raid is credited with boosting American morale at a critical time, less than five months after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and with Japan sweeping through the Pacific. The bombing run by 16 B-25s inflicted only scattered damage, but lifted spirits at home while shaking Japan's confidence.
"We were saying, 'You started it, and we're going to finish it,' "Cole said.
The bombers launched more than 200 miles farther away from Japan than planned after the Navy task force was spotted by Japanese patrol boats. All planes survived the bombing runs, but none had enough fuel to reach friendly bases in China as planned. Three Raiders were killed trying to reach China, three were executed by a Japanese firing squad, and a seventh died in captivity.
Chinese villagers helped the Raiders reach safety. A delegation of 10 Chinese, three related to key benefactors of the Raiders, came to Ohio from China for the events.
He Shaoying, now 76, is the daughter of a Zhejiang Province official who helped hide and take care of Doolittle, Cole and other survivors. She presented Cole with a translated version of her late father's journal about helping them.
"My countrymen are very pleased that after all these years, the American people still remember us," she said through an interpreter. "They are pleased that we part of this 70th anniversary."
The Raiders' reunion events grew out of informal gatherings organized by Doolittle, who died in 1993.
"It's a great honor to be here for this," said Carolyn Davison, 81, who came with her husband Dick, 85 and an Army veteran, from Arcanum, Ohio.
"This is fantastic," Saylor said. "I've never seen so many people, so many cameras. I wish I was in the camera business."

Online Computed Tomography Certification: Program Info
Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive medical test combining x-ray and computer technology. Those who perform these imaging procedures are in demand, but they must meet certain credentialing requirements to work in the field. Read on to get certification and online training info.
Inside CT Certification & Training
CT technologists take a series of cross-sectional scans to produce images of internal organs, tissues or other internal structures, which are used by physicians to make diagnoses. This occupation requires good communication, patient care and critical thinking skills. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, those who obtain certification in this field are more likely to have better job prospects (www.bls.gov).
ARRT is the credentialing organization for radiologic technology. A student must complete training from a program that is approved by ARRT to be eligible to take the organization's CT certification exam. ARRT requires applicants to be certified in radiation therapy, radiology or nuclear medicine prior to sitting for the CT certification exam.
Candidates can apply for certification testing online through the organization's website; however, they'll have to complete the computerized exam at an approved testing center. Certified technologists must complete continuing education -- which can include online or home study courses -- every two years to maintain their credentials.
CT Training Details
Online CT certificate programs are offered through many community colleges and take around a year to complete. Due to the nature of this field, training programs are in a hybrid format which combines online and campus-based instruction. Clinical experiences in an approved healthcare setting are also required. In general, CT certificate programs are open only to students who are already licensed and/or certified in radiologic technology. Applicants may also have to submit documentation regarding criminal background, health status, drug screening and valid CPR certification.
The following list highlights common coursework in these hybrid programs.
Principles of Computed Tomography
This course outlines the essential tasks that a CT technologist performs along with a study of CT equipment and ARRT certification requirements. Students are provided with an overview of scanning methods and learn to acquire images of sectional parts of the body. They investigate the history of computed tomography and study x-ray safety.
Sectional Anatomy
The primary focuses of the course are acquiring patient-technologist communication skills, learning human anatomy and performing cross-sectional images for CT scans. Course covers the differences in tissue, organ, bone and muscle images on cross-sectional scans.
CT Clinic
Students work in a clinic under supervision to gain hands-on experience with radiology equipment and learn about CT technologist duties. Some institutions allow students to earn the certificate without finishing the clinical. Students are then free to choose a facility near their place of residence for their clinicals.
Students must complete the clinical to ARRT standards before taking the exam for CT certification. There are 54 CT procedures in nine categories. To pass the clinical, students must choose 25 separate procedures and perform 3-5 repetition of each procedure for a total of 125 scans (minimum).

Sky's the limit for Sheng Belmonte
Established entertainers can't afford to rest on their laurels this season, because a number of exceptionally gifted young comers are working hard to enjoy their rightful share of the show biz sun—and spotlight.
In the field of music and musical theater, the hot-to-trot find is Sheng Belmonte, who is now being managed by the well-connected Viva Entertainment group, hence the inroads she's made in the recording scene and show circuit.
In musical theater, Sheng has scored a one-two punch by way of her two consecutive starrers in Spotlight Artists Centre's first musical productions, the hit revival run of "Magsimula Ka" two years ago, and the current "Katy!" show, which bids fair to sustain its "top hit" status with its repeat run at Meralco Theater from July 26 to Aug. 4 (call 899-8088).
In "Magsimula Ka," Sheng bagged the plum comedy-musical role of Monang, which had winningly launched the show biz career of Beverly Salviejo in the late '80s.
Sheng had to "deglamorize" herself to look right for the comedic part, but she did it without a second thought. In "Katy!" Sheng no longer has to look "crazy-funny," because her role as a sexy stripper is right up her performing alley as a trained dancer-singer.
Aerial feats
In fact, she's a certified pole-dance instructor, whose aerial snake-like feats would impress an anaconda!
No, she doesn't "fly" in her big strip act in "Katy!," but it's still a heady experience for her, because she shares the scene and song-and-dance number with none other than the Dolphy's son and heir, Epy Quizon!
He and Sheng make a hit comedy-musical tandem as they launch into their well-coordinated bump-and-grind routine in a shivering flurry of ostrich feathers—and Salome's iconic seven veils!
During rehearsals for the imminent Meralco repeat run of the show, the musical's other stars, trained singers one and all, noted that Sheng's singing voice has improved in the interim, and complimented her for continuing to take voice lessons to further firm up her already considerable singing talent.
—"That's the spirit!," they encouraged her, and Sheng was thrilled to bask in the generous affirmation from her more experienced colleagues.
Clearly, Sheng and her handlers are making sure that her skills as a "total" entertainer are being honed to personal perfection, so when her really big break comes, she'll be good and ready to shine!

Pegs,pieces,parts & chunks of weight
Captain Cheaha,
Sry for delay/lag in response, for one of our "fearless leader" of dualin, pegs are yours @ inept's customary "NO FEE". Needed to climb up in loft in shop to find them & also found George Carlin's "too much stuff". Pegs are DRZ400E model which are better/wider than rubber removed "S" model pegs. Will throw them in my truck in case you are in FiveFlagsSpdwy area or near NAS P'cola (Bayou Stinko bridge) M-F/ 8-5.
Got you & "guitarmy21b" covered on breakable scoot parts, appears I have DRZ brake pedal, gearshift lever, frt & rear brake master cylinders w/hoses, yellow fenders, plastic rear disc gaurd (worthless but free) in case you peel your stocker off swingarm,among other parts left over from DRZ E ownership/farklin.
Thanks for response "guitarmy21b" , I see your in niceville so getting your beast in shop could be distance challenged.
I'd be glad to let you ride my slghtly modified(farkel'd) beast next time we can meet-up for a VicO EAFB ride.
Pleasure would be mine to show what's possible with the BRP couzin. Mainly a Al Baker's silencer, modify/re-jet that CV (constant velocity) carb (really needs a XR650R carb) & lose alot of that steering head weight ( different speedo, headlight, etc )
Got to give you persevere points for riding w/tire handicap, L model can be a handful for a lightweight like I ( 150Lbs. 1/2 the machine weight) Don't let anyone put that beast down, dependable, ease of maintenance & my choice on majority dual sport rides.
Sounds like you got a good tire tip for sand/off-road but if they don't take the tarmak wear well, you can try Kenda 270 on rear & 760 on frt. Kenda's are inexpensive & both are DOT legal in case you come across "deputy donut" like I do occasionally over here in Escambia. They see high fenders & knobbies feel the need to chase me down/pull me over so I can point out DOT # on rear 760 Trakmaster, Dohpe!!!
BADGES??!! "We don't need no stinkin badges"
XR650L aka " THE BEAST " tad modify'd ( 2 far farkel'd )
Safer thru trees @ 45 mph than on tarmac w/caged cell yapping clowns

Yes, he was really

R4 DS Reveals Top 10 Nintendo DS Homebrew Applications
SHEFFIELD, England, March 11 /PRNewswire/ — With Nintendo's successful federal court case in Australia against an online retailer that sold the R4 — a device notoriously used to store pirated Nintendo DS games — most of the news around the R4 has been centered on the piracy controversy. But the R4 is also commonly used by hobbyists to create and share their own games for the DS, and one Web site is now acting as a resource for those enthusiasts.
R4 DS (http://www.r4revolutionds.co.uk), which offers an R4 buying guide and general information about the R4, polled hundreds fans of "homebrew," or hobbyist-created, DS games from around the world to find out the top homebrew DS applications. The site has just published the results of that contest, along with interviews with each of the homebrew developers.
So what are fans' favorite Nintendo DS homebrew games and applications? After homebrew developers submitted their work to R4 DS to compete for top DS homebrew honors and a share of the $500 prize the site offered, voters agreed on ten standouts: Remote Touch DS, an application that allows the user to control a computer's mouse and keyboard from a hand-held DS console; Glubies Planet DS, an action game in which the user controls the none-too-bright Glubies; Pocket Physics, which allows the user to draw objects with the DS stylus that then interact with each other; Video Games Hero, a guitar simulation game for the DS; StillAliveDS, a puzzle game inspired by Portal: The Flash Version; Warcraft: Tower Defence, a DS adaptation of the popular Warcraft mod; NitroTracker, a versatile tracker, or music recording, application; Warhawk DS, an update of a game originally released on the Commodore 64; Mario Paint Composer: Paratroopa Release, which allows the user to compose music; and the grand prize winner, Colors!, a sophisticated painting application.
"At R4 DS, we really want to show people the other side of R4 and all it allows hobbyists to create," explained Adam Ulivi, founder of R4 DS. "That's why we conducted the DS homebrew contest. These are games and applications that talented hobbyists make and distribute for free on the Internet. Most people are unaware that they can actually get free, legal games, because the pirating capabilities of the R4 tend to overshadow its positive capabilities."
Those interested in the legal applications of R4 will find a wealth of information at R4 DS. Along with the R4 buyer's guide and list of top homebrew games, the site offers detailed advice on choosing an R4, a review of the DSi XL, an evaluation of alternatives to the R4, and more. To learn more about R4 and its uses for creating Nintendo DS homebrew applications and games, visit http://www.r4revolutionds.co.uk.

Man, the blog landscape on eWN is getting thick, eh? Either way, I'm back again with another edition of STATE OF THE 'E... often imitated, NEVER duplicated! I will say though, I'd like a part of that "BlogWars" action! Great job with that!

The OFTEN imitated, NEVER duplicated... STATE OF THE 'E!!!
Welcome, welcome one and all. I'm back with another blog and I'm actually kind of pissed off. You see, since the beginning of the year, I've been on a quest to "trust" THE 'E with their decisions and let my sense of (my version) of right and wrong just go to the wayside. And I know that this Monday night, The
Here we are, it's a cool October night and I'm amped up. Why am I amped up? Well, simply because we have a TON to look forward to within the next six months of WWE Television. That's why. We're into the Fall months already and it feels like the year has still just begun. We've been through a lot within the confines of this organization alone let alone what the real World has gone through. But, I'm
It's been a while since I've done one of these so, I may be a little rusty. I apologize for the lack of blogging on my end but, I just had a bunch of things happen in my personal life in a relatively short span so, hence why nothing has been pumped out. The one thing I will share however is, just last week I found out I was going to be a father again. My second child is on the way!
I know, I know "WHERE THE HELL IS PART 3 OF FCW?!?!?!?" fact of the matter is, there's other things I feel like I want to talk about. We'll eventually get back to FCW, I promise. But, there's something I've been wanting to discuss full on for a while now. And that is: Cody Rhodes.
Yes, one of the hottest topics in WWE right now, holder of the Intercontinental Championship
Okay, again I have been side tracked like a goldfish bumping its head on the glass one to many times. I'm sorry. The other 4 FCW blogs are on their way, I promise. But, more things come along my way to ensure that I keep myself busy scratching my head at how insane some of these Professional Wrestlers egos can be.
Recently, the Interwebs EXPLODED because Kurt "freakin" Angle
Okay, I know I'm in the middle of my FCW blog rant but, I have to take a break and talk about something that's been nagging at everyone since (majorly) the beginning of te year. It seems that the brand split is coming to an end. First they took away "Bragging Rights" which was a PPV designed to see which brand was better. Speculation was they took it away because of the poor sales it garnered

Ex-general who briefly ran So. Vietnam dies in US
Friday - 1/25/2013, 8:25pm EST
By GILLIAN FLACCUS
Associated Press
GARDEN GROVE, Calif. (AP) - Khanh Nguyen, a South Vietnamese general who briefly gained control of the government in a coup and went on to lead a "government in exile" in California, has died.
Nguyen died Jan. 11 at a San Jose hospital after struggling with diabetes-related health problems, said Chanh Nguyen Huu, who succeeded Nguyen as head of the Garden Grove, Calif.-based Government of Free Vietnam in Exile. He was 86.
In November 1960, Nguyen helped thwart a coup against the U.S.-backed president Ngo Dinh Diem when he mistook the rebels for Viet Cong soldiers and rushed to the president's defense.
"Because I thought it was a Viet Cong attack, I sent orders to the troops to help us," he said in a 1981 interview with WGBH in Boston. "At that time, I saw it was a coup managed by some of the paratroopers _ not all of them, but some."
South Vietnamese generals overthrew Diem's regime three years later, starting a volatile period of political unrest.
Nguyen himself briefly took control of the government in a Jan. 30, 1964, coup, but left Vietnam the following year after being forced out of power by other generals amid growing tension with U.S. military officials. He lived and worked in France for several years before settling in California with his wife and four children in 1977.
"I left Saigon with some of my soil of ... Vietnam, you know, in my hand," he said in the 1981 interview. "I feel that I missed to bring peace to my people."
Nguyen was a leader in the Government of Free Vietnam in Exile, which was founded in 1995 and operates out of a storefront in Garden Grove, in the heart of the largest U.S. Vietnamese expatriate community, said Huu. In 2002, Nguyen organized an international convention in Anaheim, in suburban Orange County south of Los Angeles, and held elections for the party he founded.
He was elected head-of-state in 2005 for the exiled government and transferred his power to Huu in 2007 as his health began failing, Huu said.
The former general continued to fight Communism in Vietnam even from his adopted home in California and as recently as 2005 tried to contact his former soldiers in Vietnam, he said.
"A lot of people followed him, but it failed," he said.
Several hundred people attended a public memorial for Nguyen in Garden Grove on Jan. 19.
Nguyen was buried in San Jose, where his family resides, Huu said.

Finding her place
To freshman Estefania Morales, golf is more than just a game. From...
The Quinnipiac Bobcats baseball team won its first two games in the MAAC in program history this past weekend. They swept the doubleheader against the Jaspers of Manhattan, winning the first game 4-0 and the second game 5-4.
Freshman pitcher Thomas Jankins carried the team to victory in game one. Jankins won his second game of the season throwing a shutout, striking out 10 of the Jaspers' hitters while only allowing five hits during eight innings of work.
The Bobcats' record now stands at 4-14. Jankins and the Bobcats look to improve their record traveling to Central Connecticut State on March 27 before hosting Rider for a three-game series this weekend.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
San Telmo Luxury Suites
Chile 437, San Telmo, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Neighborhood: San Telmo
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
These days a stylish, subtly luxurious boutique hotel is about as hard to find in Buenos Aires as an outdoor café — which is to say, not at all. Differentiation, more than ever, is the key to success. What sets San Telmo Luxury Suites apart from the rest is something almost intangible. Call it atmosphere, call it execution; there's nothing overly conceptual about a 19th-century mansion in an up-and-coming district, but this one so perfectly suits its setting that you'd think the neighborhood was named after the hotel, instead of the other way around.
The suites themselves are happily out of scale with the building; the owners are to be commended for resisting the temptation to pack in more than twelve. In the lofted bedrooms, brushed-steel headboards clash evocatively with centuries-old ceiling beams, and the reception, with its antique chairs and tastefully tarnished floors, clashes similarly with the glass and steel of the residential spaces. This sort of clash is becoming something of a Buenos Aires signature; just outside, cosmopolitan hipsters share the parks with tango dancers and ultra-modern shop fronts look out over cobblestone streets. It's a neighborhood whose charms include the city's oldest café (the Tortoni) and the Museum of Modern Art. In a way, San Telmo distills BA to its purest essence — and there's no hotel that's more San Telmo than this one.
How to get there:
San Telmo Luxury Suites is located 32km (40 min) from Ezeiza International Airport or 10km (25 min) from Aeroparque Domestic Airport. Transfers can be arranged for US$55 from Ezeiza and US$28 from Aeroparque for up to 3 guests, one way. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com for assistance with airport transfers.

The Hotel was very nice, my wife and I were on our honeymoon and we have nothing to regret about our choice. The hotel is excellent located, just a five minutes walk from the Plaza de Mayo (historical buildings) and Puerto Madero (very good restaurants). We received a very good attention from Carolina!

What I liked:
The space was beautiful and the location excellent.
What the hotel could do better:
The only issue I would note was that the complimentary breakfast ended by 10am and checkout was also at 10am. Given what a late city Buenos Aires is--with dinners around 11pm and no one waking up before noon on weekends--10am for either breakfast or checkout seemed way too early. Otherwise, everything was excellent!

The DH loves soliflores on me: plumeria and jasmine.
I saw a thread in the male fragrances asking what scents women love...so here's the one for us. Which scents do you notice turn heads?
The DH loves soliflores on me: plumeria and jasmine.
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
Husband loves Hypnotic Poison , Fracas and Carnal Flower .
I think he loves Hypnotic Poison best and so does my son .
For sale. Carnal Flower and Vero Profumo Onda.
I'm sorry, it must be annoying to have guys interject themselves in your conversations as often as we seem to do (I sometimes get annoyed just seeing it), but the topic is relevant and I just can't help offering a few of my favorites on women. So, you said melt...and I'm taking that literally. As an easy example, a few of the Chanel offerings for women are fantastic, but I'm not sure I would say they make me melt. moon sparkle by escada i would say makes me melt. dior addict would be the runner-up. hypnotic poison too.
Definitely Alien

Mr Ali loves and buys me vintage Poison, Gaultier2 and Chanel No5. He buys me other things if I put orders in but they are what he loves best and left to his own devices will choose. Chanel No5 always in Extrait or EDT, he says EdP smells off. Clever boy recognizing it's a slightly different fragrance
Joining in to give another guy's opinion
If a girl is wearing Victoria Secret Love Spell and walks by, she better be able to outrun me Curve for women also smells great. Katy Perry Purr might cause me to go into caveman mode with a club in hand. I'm not picky honestly. Pretty much any perfume smells good to me except for the musky ones. I prefer them to smell girly and soft. It helps if a girl wears a low cut top or leaves the top few buttons of her blouse unbuttoned to help her perfume emanate more In all seriousness, most guys don't pay attention to what perfume a girl is wearing as long as it smells good.

I've likely had the most "emotional" compliments when wearing Shalimar. From hubby, lately Mitsouko. I'll add Carnal Flower too.
"Like a lobster with a pearl in its claw, the beet held the jasmine firmly without crushing or obscuring it. Beet lifted jasmine, the way a bullnecked partner lifts a ballerina, and the pair came on stage on citron's fluty cue. As if jasmine were a collection of beautiful paintings, beet hung it in the galleries of the nose, insured it against fire or theft, threw a party to celebrate it. Citron mailed the invitations." Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins p. 189
What I am loving right now: Shalimar vintage extrait, Chanel Bois des Iles, Chanel no. 22, Le Labo Iris 39, Guerlain Iris Ganache
Have had very positive responses from men while wearing L'Or de Torrente. Mr.T loves honeysuckle and gardenia.

I've heard a couple times men do go a little nutty for Love Spell. I don't like it myself. I don't like VS as a whole, the store or their merchandise. I think that place is a place that was classy before all the tacky advertising. It was a nice, classy boutique. Now I think that place is tacky, on the cheap side, and has nothing that impresses me much. JMHO.

I think that this may come as a surprise, and it is contrary to much of what the guys are saying on this thread, but I have noticed, really noticed that there is a theme around when I get compliments from men, and it is not "feminine" or sexy or sweet, or soft fragrances. It is Lemons! Lemons and herbs, lemons and woods, lemons and limes etc etc. You might be surpised but it is true. Santa Maria Novella Acqua di Sicilia (lots of times); Annick Goutal, Eau D'Hadrian and Eau du Sud (lots, usually something like "you smell lovely like you just came out of a shower"!), Carthusia Mediterraneo (strange man in shop asks what I am wearing and where he can get it), Acqua De Genova, which is lemons , limes, flowers and woods, (the same). Honest! And I am definately talking about men. Women compliment on different ones. I have thought about it and I wonder if what is actually happening is that they are smelling something that appeals to themselves?
Does anyone have anything to say about this, particulary the guys?
Larimar, I can't tell you how tickled I am. I am wearing Coco today!
Oh, and it has just occured....I would love to smell it on a man. Oooo
Mmmmmmm, you smell divine! You see, this one is sacred... I don't wear it!
Smelling Amouages Homage on a lady does it for me, its a fragrance fit for a princess.

This may sound strange given that my husband and I both enjoy wearing fragrance, but neither of us is attracted to the other more based on what perfumes we are wearing. Nothing I wear makes him melt, nothing he wears makes me melt. Our natural scent does, yes, but not perfumes.
So I asked him whether he's smelled any fragrance, anywhere, that has had that effect on him, and he said, "No."

In my experience.... Most straight men seem to love vanillas (cheap, expensive - doesn't matter), most gay men like the florals, especially the expensive ones.
It's been a long hot Summer in Sydney, looking forward to Winter & wearing vanilla fragrances.
I honestly believe that the man-in-the-street (at least in the UK) pays very little attention to the perfume a woman is wearing, as equally to her earrings, nail-polish, lipstick etc. I can't recall a single male ever commenting on a woman's perfume to me. Physical attributes (breasts, legs, eyes), yes.
Speaking for myself, it was only when I became interested in perfume that I began to truly take note of what those around me were wearing. Slowly, I became curious about other sartorial flourishes and as my education, began following a few fashion and makeup blogs. It truly opened my eyes to a whole new world (turns out, 'discontinuation' and 'reformulation' are plagues which are visited not only on perfumes, but lipsticks / blushes / eyeliners / foundations etc etc too!) and gave me a deep respect for the kind of routines many women go through to acheive a given 'look'. Now, I really enjoy noticing a woman's bracelet or eye-shadow but this is something I've had to consciously learn to do (and continue to learn to do).
In sum, I think if a male passer-by has a strong interest in fragrance, or has been exposed to a lot of different perfumes (as, say, some of the lucky partners of the BN ladies) then your choice may affect him. If not, then I suspect it will barely register.
Hope that isn't too depressing a picture I've painted!
As a guy, only if nothing too generic, youthful or vapid is being worn. However, if the lady wears something classic, no-nonsense and mature like Le Dix, even solid and reliable No.5 (not a bit dated or antiquated to me), Insolence, Air du Temps, J'Adore and Dolce Vita by Dior, Je Reviens, Venezia almost certainly achieve this effect - guess I am something of an old-fashioned romantic when it comes to scents

Generally speaking, perfume does turn my head, but I find that it's the spicy gourmands and orientals that tend to make me almost involuntarily turn my head while walking in the mall or store, with the thought "OMG! I am checking out a woman, everybody is seeing me do it, and I can't help myself!" Fortunately, as a known fragrance nut, I have a handy excuse for those who know me, but it really is involuntary sometimes.
Occasionally, the fragrance and the person don't correlate at all with my expectations, leading to some interesting looks on my face!
I dont know about men in general but my boyfriend loves Shalimar on me. He calls it "a soft powdery veil with something skanky lurking beneath". He loves sniffing my wrist when I wear it. However, he's indifferent to Mitsy. Poor Mitsy.
I also had a conversation with my friends (who are teenage boys) and they had stated they don't like vanilla on a girl (why smell like cake, they say) and prefer fruity florals or shampoo like scents.
That has never happened to me, it sounds really messy.
Really, it has to be individual. Of my close personal acquaintances of the less gentle sex, their perfume preferences, when asked what they like to smell on women, or on me in particular answered thusly:
1. Vanilla
2. Nothing
3. Anything but vanilla.
But nobody has ever melted, thankfully.

According to Chicago neurologist Alan Hirsch Ph.D., men's cologne usually causes a decrease in women's vaginal blood flow unless it is a natural fresh scent. What makes a man appealing to most women are light sprays and deodorants on him, such as ocean breeze, kiwi, or a combination of baby powder and chocolate. The smell of his own clean skin with a little fresh sweat, combined with fresh fruity scents, is the strongest stimulant for a woman, especially during her ovulation. Hirsch discovered that men's penile blood flow increased up to 40% from the smell of cinnamon buns, roast meat, cheese pizza, chocolate, vanilla or peppermint.
From Hirsch et al
So TS was wrong bacon isn't the smell men like best
To note, I am also young, so I think the reason for this liking is my mother's perfume growing up. Psychologically speaking, I do remember something to the effect of chasing after the opposite sex who subtly resemble your parents (and here, perfume too!).

That said, I think there is a segment of the population (men and women) who are more attuned to smells than the general population. I've also rarely heard a woman comment on a man's scent as one of his "attributes"...so I only have myself to go on. Personally, it's rare that I've run across a scent on a man that has me wanting to shake my hair out and whisper "take me now"...but it HAS happened. I mean...the emotional response.
There must be something else to make you melt, dear guys, but perfume only, I guess. Perfume as the only attractant - it sounds very unlikely to me.

I almost passed this thread up for ignoring the "what scents chicks dig/get you the most female compliments" sticky thread restriction, but it's a thoughtful one, so I guess it's time to jump into the fray, again!
I, too, have wondered: If men love men's fragrances, shouldn't women wear them? and vice-versa. I guess it's like clothing, though, a person wants to look and smell like the gender one prefers to be.
There was a Swiss study done, once, that pointed out why men and women have INDIVIDUAL preferences based on their immune systems: We choose mates whose genes are most likely to guarantee hetrogenous (mixed) traits in our offspring--in other words, children with genetic diversity that increases their chances of survival by ensuring strong immune systems. And we can do that with our noses based on which fragrances we prefer. Cool, huh?
An offshoot of the findings showed that there are some scents that are universally more attractive to people. Bergamot and heliotrope ranked highest. Vanilla, neroli, rosewood, and cinnamon were popular, too.
So, I guess mates are supposed to smell different from each other--not men and women, collectively, but individuals.

Come rain or come shine,
this one works everytime!
H., these are some great observations -- my opinion of you and your tastes in women and fragrances skyrocketed immensely, you know? Hugs.

Terby Sedimentary Rocks
December 29, 2011
This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows layered sedimentary rock outcrops in Terby Crater, located near 27.7°S, 285.4°W. The layered sediments in Terby are several kilometers thick, attesting to a long history of deposition in this ancient basin. The picture covers an area 3 km (1.9 mi) wide. Sunlight illuminates the scene from the upper left. MGS MOC Release No. MOC2-587, 27 December 2003
