I bought it in a well known department store from a busy counter. Extremely dry and clumpy. Lid below my bottom lashes gets mascara stains very quickly, whatever the weather. Doesn't stay on for long. I love the brush and the golden colour, but very messy mascara

Great island tour.
Amazing views from Magic Mountain.
Our guide even took us to see the turtle centre as an extra.
Ron was great, we really enjoyed the 4x4 tour and seeing the different spots on that side of Moorea. I felt the excursion was worth the cost. Hang on to your seats going up to Magic Mountain!
We had a wonderful time on this tour. The driver who picked us up and took us to our hotel was our tour guide. He was wonderful. He knew so much history about the island! The pictures and views were breathtaking. We have several of the photos hanging up in our home. It was a truly great way to see...
We spent the morning with 3 other couples on the back of our yellow 4x4 truck during our tour. We visited many sites including Magic Mountain, the juice factory, the jam factory, the beach, some old ruins and Belvedere lookout. The drive up magic mountain was a bit scary as the road is very narrow and very steep. However, the...
We had this trip included in our package deal and didn't really know what to expect. Our guide Ron was fantastic, really knows the island and all sorts of trivia and information on the sites and also the plants, fruits and nature of the place. Some great views from high up in the mountains, don't forget your camera. Really wouldn't...
We used this service on our honeymoon and really enjoyed it. We went to Magic Mountain and several other locations and our guide was fantastic and informative.
We only had one other couple with us and we both really enjoyed it. Funny enough we ended up becoming friends with the other couple and are keeping in touch.
We booked directly through Moorea explorer: firstname.lastname@example.com

We had this prebooked with our travel agent and are very glad we did! We had a friendly, knowledgeable guide who showed us around via 4x4 and we both saw and learned a lot on our half day tour. It was the perfect introduction to the island. Magic Mountain, Belvedere Lookout, pineapple plantation, marae, Lycee Agricole and Fruit Juice Factory...
We had a great trip around the Island with Moorea Explorer, saw the Cook Straight from above and had delicious amazing pineapple juice at Lycee Agricole. Our guide Roi (who was Dutch, but married to a Tahitian) gave us a great cultural insight to the island, and was very informative and positive. Great experience, highly recommended it.
We booked direct from our hotel's activities center (Sofitel). The price was very reasonable (4500xpf per person). There was only one other couple on our tour...which was a plus.

Fabregas won't rule out return to Arsenal
Ever since his £35 million move to Barcelona in 2011, there has been talk of Cesc Fabregas returning to Arsenal. Those rumours surfaced even in the summer, but it never developed into anything concrete due to Fabregas' importance at Barcelona.
The general consensus is that the powers of Xavi are on the decline and Fabregas will be the man to replace him for the next decade. The 26-year-old is now at the prime of his career.
In a stunning revelation, he has not ruled out the possibility of a return to Arsenal. This will be music to the ears of Arsenal fans. Speaking to the Guardian, he said,
"Arsenal is in my heart and always will be. It was important for me to leave the right way. I think the fans understood.
"I don't know if I'll have the opportunity to go back and play there one day, or maybe after football. It's a club that is always going to be there and will always open its doors to me."
It became clear right from the early days at Arsenal that the club had a special player on the hands. Fabregas may not have won a bucket load of trophies at Arsenal (in fact he only managed two in eight years), but he became the symbol of the football philosophy adopted by Wenger in the last decade.
Even during Fabregas' time at Arsenal, the club were in a good position to challenge for the Premier League title on a few occasions only for the hopes to falter after the Christmas period. Fabregas acknowledges that this is a great start made by Arsenal, but he reckons that the club needs to maintain this level of consistency even during Christmas.
Fabregas recalls how Arsenal have managed to be a destination to develop their former greats into coaches. The likes of Sol Campbell are still at Arsenal, while legend Dennis Bergkamp occasionally visits the club in his efforts to become a coach. Fabregas is the type of individual who could enter into management after his playing days are over.
Barcelona may not be interested in entertaining the talk of selling Fabregas right now. After all, they rejected numerous advances from Manchester United for the 26-year-old over the summer. Fabregas has scored two goals and created six in 13 appearances for Barcelona this season.

Steve Lombardozzi Rumors
Pirates Acquire Steve Lombardozzi From Orioles
The Pirates have acquired switch-hitting infielder Steve Lombardozzi from the Orioles in exchange for cash considerations, Baltimore announced. The 26-year-old has now been traded for the third time, all dating back to last winter.
Lombardozzi cracked the big leagues with the Nationals, serving as a regular utility piece for the club in 2012 and 2013. He was shipped to the Tigers and then on to the Orioles before the 2014 campaign, which he spent primarily at Triple-A. All said, Lombo owns a .266/.297/.341 line over 829 trips to the plate at the big league level.
The swap is unrelated to the clubs' earlier Travis Snider deal, which includes a still-unnamed player heading to Baltimore, according to a tweet from Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

Minor Moves: Solano, McCoy, Lombardozzi
Today's minor moves..
- The Marlins have signed catcher Jhonatan Solano to a minor league deal, tweets Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald. He'll join his brother Donovan Solano in Miami.
- The Orioles announced that they have outrighted left-hander Pat McCoy and infielder Steve Lombardozzi to Triple-A Norfolk. The O's 40-man roster is now down to 37.
- The Nippon Ham Fighters have signed third baseman Brandon Laird, tweets Joel Sherman of the New York Post. The 27-year-old former Yankee farmhand spent 2014 with the Nationals Triple-A affiliate. He posted a healthy .300/.350/.490 line in 506 plate appearances. The Ham Fighters are also reportedly close to signing outfielder Jeremy Hermida.

East Notes: Davis, Frandsen, Lombardozzi
The Mets have decided to place both Ike Davis and Lucas Duda on their Opening Day roster, Kristie Ackert of New York Daily News writes. GM Sandy Alderson did not confirm which of the two would start at first base. Davis, in particular, has frequently been the subject of trade rumors, and the Pirates have been connected to Davis and have a notably unsettled first-base situation. But it appears Davis may remain a Met for now. Here are more notes from the East divisions.
- The Nationals are one of several teams to touch base with infielder Kevin Frandsen, Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post tweets. Frandsen recently opted for free agency after the Phillies outrighted him. Frandsen hit .234/.296/.341 in 278 plate appearances while playing every infield position but shortstop for Philadelphia last year.
- The trade of Alex Gonzalez to the Tigers was a "gem" from the Orioles' perspective, Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun writes. The move demonstrates one reason it makes sense for organizations to sign lots of players to minor-league deals, Connolly suggests — the Orioles signed Gonzalez with little risk, then were able to flip him for a potentially useful, versatile, cost-controlled player in Lombardozzi.

Tigers, Orioles Swap Lombardozzi For Alex Gonzalez
The Tigers acquired shortstop Alex Gonzalez from the Orioles for infielder Steve Lombardozzi, tweets Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun.
Lombardozzi, 25, hit .259/.278/.338 in 307 plate appearances for the Nationals last year, appearing at second base, left field, and third base. He was traded to the Tigers in December along with Robbie Ray and Ian Krol for Doug Fister. Lombardozzi is a Maryland native whose father spent parts of six seasons in the Majors. The move gives the Orioles added infield depth in light of third baseman Manny Machado starting the season on the DL. The Orioles added Triple-A depth yesterday with their waiver claim of David Adams.
Gonzalez, 37, was in Orioles camp as a non-roster invitee. Gonzalez had signed a minor league deal with Baltimore in January, and put together a strong line in 30 spring plate appearances. Gonzalez provides another option for the Tigers for the injured Jose Iglesias, who will begin the season on the DL and will miss likely significant time with stress fractures in both shins. The Tigers acquired infielder Andrew Romine from the Angels two days ago.
The Tigers' return for Fister, already seen around the game as light, takes a further hit with Lombardozzi being swapped for an expendable player like Gonzalez.

NL Central Notes: Brewers, Cubs, Cardinals
Today in NL Central news, the Cardinals reached a three-year agreement with lefty reliever Randy Choate, the Pirates traded for wild power lefty Andy Oliver, and the Cubs signed right fielder Nate Schierholtz to a one-year deal. The latest from the division:
- Speaking of lefties, the Brewers are in the market for one, tweets Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Haudricourt can see Tom Gorzelanny as a fit, since the recently non-tendered 30-year-old can retire righties as well as lefties. Gorzelanny, though, has been some combination of wild and homer-prone against righties the last few years.
- J.P. Howell is a name to watch for the Brewers, as MLB.com's Adam McCalvy notes that GM Doug Melvin met with agent Greg Genske today at the Winter Meetings. Genske's agency also represents free agents Edwin Jackson, Francisco Liriano, Brad Penny, and Joe Saunders.
- "I don't see this being one of our more active years at this point," Melvin told Haudricourt today.
- The Cubs were in on Jeff Keppinger and Eric Chavez before they signed with the White Sox and Diamondbacks, respectively, GM Jed Hoyer told reporters. The Cubs are seeking someone who can help at the hot corner.
- The Cardinals want to upgrade with a utility infielder, tweets Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. They've discussed free agent Alex Gonzalez and trade options Chris Getz of the Royals and Steve Lombardozzi of the Nationals.

Quick Hits: Alfonso Soriano, Cubs Draft, Mets
The Nationals rewrote Major League history on Sunday in yet another sign that the beleaguered franchise has turned the proverbial corner. Bryce Harper and Steve Lombardozzi became the first rookies to hit back-to-back home runs to lead off a game in the modern era. Here's the latest odds and ends from around the league as we look forward to Monday's amateur draft…
- Alfonso Soriano is open to being traded to a contender as he concedes his career is winding down at 36, reports Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times. Soriano has made himself an attractive trade candidate with a 2012 slash line of .267/.311/.460, but remains unlikely to be moved thanks to his hefty contract. The Cubs owe Soriano the remainder of his $18MM salary for this year and $36MM over the next two seasons.
- Cubs manager Dale Sveum hasn't seen team president Theo Epstein or scouting chief Jason McLeod in days and that's because they are in lockdown mode for Monday's amateur draft, says Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune. "Theo and Jason and Jed (Hoyer), they've had a whole different system in the draft, and obviously it's worked pretty well," Sveum said. "The high picks they had in Boston panned out pretty good." Equipped with the sixth pick in the draft, the Cubs are expected to take high school center fielder Albert Almora or Puerto Rican shortstop Carlos Correa based upon projections from Baseball America.
- Look for the Mets to consider making minor moves at the trade deadline rather than taking on salary to acquire an expensive veteran, writes Matthew Cerrone of MetsBlog.com. Cerrone points to Buster Olney's comments on Sunday night in which he stated that the team is focused on the big picture when Matt Harvey and Zack Wheeler arrive in Queens in as soon as 14 months.

"Sometimes, I just thought he was mad at the play or something,'' McKie said. "You couldn't always tell that he was hurt.''
Ask David HaughSend a question to the Tribune's Bears reporter.
- Football
- Chicago Bears
- Contracts
See more topics »
The first clue might have been the Bears owning the league's second-worst rushing offense and giving up 21 sacks at midseason. Something was wrong.
Brown's injured right shoulder that will require surgery and forced the Bears to place him on injured reserve Thursday doesn't explain everything. But it's a good start.
All that talk in NFL locker rooms about the need for five guys on the offensive line needing to work as one isn't just rhetoric. It's real. For offensive linemen, the communication, the technique all rely on working in synch with the guy planting his hand in the grass next to you.
When one part of the machine is defective, as Brown clearly was for most of the first half given his teammates' revelations Thursday, the whole machine malfunctions.
Through eight games, the Bears offensive line most certainly has malfunctioned.
"He definitely was playing hurt [all season],'' center Olin Kreutz said. "That's just the kind of guy he is. He's a warrior. He couldn't even use his arm most of the time in the fourth quarter, but he was just going anyway. I don't know if you could see him out there [but] sometimes in the fourth quarter, he would have the rest his arm on somebody. He couldn't really use it.''
Another stunning admission came from McKie.
"Sometimes, he would be in the huddle and would be rubbing his shoulder and moving his arm around,'' he said. "So I knew something was wrong with him. I knew he had some shoulder problems before, but I didn't know it was to the extent that it is now. But he stuck it out.''
That probably makes Brown one of the toughest players to ever put on the navy-and-orange uniform, and you don't make nine Pro Bowls being soft.
But his teammates' testimony also raises legitimate questions about why the Bears continued to trot out damaged goods for eight straight starts despite Brown's warrior-like mentality that would have made sitting him difficult.
If Bears players recognized how badly Brown was hurting and how it might have been affecting his performance, why didn't Bears coaches do something about it? How much of them hoping it would get better only make it worse?
Kreutz acknowledged knowing about Brown's limitations "for a while,'' and the Bears didn't just wake up Thursday and decide it was time to shut down a Hall of Fame-caliber guard whose performance was substandard. They knew.
"Whose to say what was a factor? We didn't play as well we needed to, period,'' Smith said. "For us to try to figure why and if that really mattered, it doesn't really help us right now.''
Smith talked like a guy who expected Brown to return in 2008 but that doesn't seem realistic for a team possibly two months away from starting a rebuilding project. The next time you see Brown, 35, he might be wearing a yellow blazer and giving an induction speech in Canton, a realistic possibility for a popular 9-time Pro Bowl selection.
He nearly left the game once in 2004 after a messy exit in Buffalo but came to the Bears for the chance to play alongside Kreutz. It was a good run, but hard to imagine the team bringing back a 36-year-old guard with high mileage in '08.
The Bears have to get younger on the offensive line and find out what they have in 29-year-old replacement Terrence Metcalf, to whom the Bears have committed $3.4 million for the three seasons following this one.

The trend for well-regarded research analysts to leave the sellside for roles at hedge funds and asset managements, first identified by Financial News in March, has continued to gather steam.

Karateka Review
Played on:
Jordan Mechner's Karateka broke new ground for gaming in a few ways. It was one of the very earliest one-on-one fighting games (although presented more as a beat-em-up than what we're used to), it had a cinematic quality with dramatic music and a story you could follow, even with no speech, and it included a new style of animation that wasn't exactly smooth - we'd have to wait for Mechner's next game, the original Prince of Persia, for that - but it looked incredibly realistic for the day. That's not bad for 1984, a time when the best games were still largely arcades, and when a movie-like story was still generally a long way off for most video games.
Maybe it was the resurgence of interest from creator Jordan Mechner and the re-discovery and publishing of his early games' original source code, but Mechner was eager to get back in there to recreate Karateka as a downloadable action game. The result is decent, but it could never possibly live up to its name as one of the very early pioneering video games. Unfortunately, it doesn't even quite live up to gameplay standards set today for either beat-em-ups or fighting games, and maybe it's the insistence on being true to Mechner's classic that makes this re-imagined Karateka something that straddles the line between old and new games without really committing properly to each one.
The story is simple: the evil Akuma has captured Mariko and taken her to his island fortress, and three men have taken up the quest to fight through Akuma's minions, defeat him, free Mariko and take her home. The three characters are Mariko's True Love, a Monk, and a Brute, each serving as something like your three "lives" in the game, each more powerful but a worse match for her (as a husband, I guess) than the last. The challenge isn't really to just beat the game, which admittedly can be done in less than an hour, and if you're an experienced gamer with good timing, it can be done the first time without actually losing the game. The real point of Karateka is to beat it without deaths so that you stay as the True Love character. He's a little bit weaker than the other two guys and seems to have the least health so the challenge is a bit higher the longer you are able to stay alive as the True Love, but all characters play the same basic way.
So how does Karateka play, you ask? It's a linear game where the camera swaps around as you run in pretty much a side-scrolling fashion through a sparsely-decorated world rendered in 3D, but you're always walking forwards, taking on one enemy at a time in a karate fight. Unlike the original, though, now you'll mostly be forced to block an enemy's set of attacks first before you can answer with your own. The game warns you with subtle musical cues as to the number and timing of enemy attacks just before they start swinging, and you'll have to hit your block button for each incoming attack. Your block is only active for a short period, so you'll need a combination of memory, timing, and fast reactions in order to avoid incoming damage. After blocking at least the last hit in an enemy combo, you'll get a small window to unleash a combo of your own, choosing between punches and kicks to get some hits in before he backs up and readies his next attack. Health bars at the bottom are the little arrows we saw in the original, and you can pick up flowers Mariko left behind (or just fight for a while without taking damage) to regenerate health.
Some enemy attacks have a charge-up period where you can interrupt the start of their combo entirely and start your own, but you'll need to be good to do this regularly, and most of the time you'll be forced to defend first. The challenge starts coming later in the game when enemies start putting together five-hit combos with staggered timing or quick reactions to your own attacks. Thankfully, you do get something like a fighting game Super meter, and once it's filled up, you can unleash a Stun attack on your enemy. You follow this up with a powerful mashed-button combo that looks great and does very significant damage to an enemy.
Throughout Karateka you'll see plenty of references to the original, including samurai gear, Akuma's annoying-ass bird that you'll have to eventually fight as a mini-boss, and even the ability to bow to some opponents and have them bow back at you before you fight. The visuals are now cartoony and the animations aren't exactly wonderful, so all that rotoscoped genius from the original - which, of course, has long been made obsolete by the motion capture systems in nearly every game now - was never going to come back, but I have to say that Mechner's reputation for wonderful animations raised my expectations, and I couldn't help but feel a little let down.
Still, the music has many of the same themes and harmonies you'll remember, which can bring on heavy waves of nostalgia, although sometimes there'll be background music during fights that can mess with the audio cues for incoming attacks; the fact that these cues change based on the enemy and type of attack might throw another monkey wrench into your attempts at a no-damage run. (And yes, that's really an achievement: take zero damage throughout the whole game up until Akuma.)
Karateka is not meant to be played once and deleted off your console's hard drive; the intent is for you to play it over and over, slowly improving and honing your timing, until you beat the game with the True Love character and get the "real" ending. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that the rather simplistic gameplay and lack of choice at all really warrant multiple playthroughs, especially since there's so few ways to get creative about your attacks. Each of the three characters has their own moves, but it doesn't even really matter whether you're pressing the punch or kick button in any conventional fight in the game, as the combos you can unleash are very simplistic. I also wonder if this remake could have been better executed as a side-scroller with luscious, 2D 1080p graphics, but with identical gameplay to the original and maybe a way to swap back to the original graphics and/or music at any time with a button press.
Still, there's no point in wishing for something else, because this is what we got. Karateka costs $10 on Xbox 360 and PS3, which isn't exactly highway robbery, but there are so many gamers nowadays that have been trained to simply fight their way through a game, proclaim that they have beaten it, and move on; those players will be very unhappy with what their ten bucks got them on Karateka. Even then, the visuals aren't exactly revolutionary and the fighting is just a little too basic for 2012. Those looking for a stroll, a punch, and a bow down memory lane will enjoy the many throwbacks to the original, but even those gamers will likely come away at least a little disappointed. Seeing the return of classic games redone as entirely new efforts is often amazing, but it's also easy for them to go wrong, and this re-imagining of Karateka stumbles just a bit too much for me to recommend it to the vast majority of today's gamers.

Bicycling tour reveals more to NAD story
November 2, 2013 • Mike Zimmerman
I knew the U.S. Naval Ammunition Depot played a significant part in the history of Hastings, including the explosion of weapons built there and the explosion in population as people came here for jobs.
But I'll admit that for the longest time, the only things that caught my attention were those "humps" scattered along U.S. Highway 6. As a youngster, they always served as the markers signaling the end of a long road trip.
Last weekend, I aimed to change my limited knowledge of the NAD by taking part in a bicycle tour of the area directed by local historian Walt Miller.
In the nearly 3 1/2 hour, 15-mile ride, we checked out the ghostly buildings, and Walt gave us the image of what things looked like many years ago.
One thing that stood out to me was the story of the yellow people. They were laborers in the powder-sifting buildings that used a yellow dye chemical that turned their skin, hair, nails and eyes yellow — like jaundice.
But it wasn't until near the tail end of the tour where I learned something that has since shifted my understanding of the NAD for good.
I rode my Giant road bike near Walt, who for his age was a very good rider. The closer I was to him while riding, the more I could hear some of his commentary. He then directed us to pull off the road to have a look at one last building.
He then said, "Now, while we're here, I better tell you all this."
Walt told us that many years ago, if we looked along the horizon from the spot where we were standing, we could almost see the curve of the Earth.
That was just how flat the area was. And it was perfect for farmland — some of the best farmland in the world.
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the United States began building the naval ammunition plant in early 1942. It purchased nearly 50,000 acres of land — land that was extremely valuable for crops and livestock — which explained why 192 landowners made a living in the rural areas of Adams and Clay counties.
Walt explained that because it was wartime, rules were different. The federal government came in and condemned 232 properties and sent many farmers into a world of hurt.
Those farmers were given an unfair sucker punch from their government. Their land was purchased from them at a cheaper price than what they'd originally paid. Walt said many didn't recover from those losses.
I had always understood the NAD to be a fortress of power and weaponry, a beacon of American strength tucked in our pockets or an answered prayer to a town still struggling from the Depression.
But the last story Walt shared admittedly shook me.
Not that it's a bad thing, though. I appreciate that my knowledge gained of the NAD is more comprehensive than what it was before the bicycle tour.
In a broad perspective, I hope the tour also taught me that there is always more to the story. Maybe that will help me as journalist, but I'm hoping that it will help me more as a human being.
It's OK not to know it all. But always be willing to learn, listen and discover. Who knows? The story might change. Your assumptions could be wrong.
The NAD represents so much more than hundreds of "humps" along a highway for me now.

Telesdon (テレスドン Teresudon?) is a prehistoric, carnosaurian monster that was controlled by The Underground People to attack the surface. He first appeared in Episode 22 of the original series.
Subtitle: Underground Monster (地底怪獣 Chitei Kaijū?)
Generation IEdit
A weapon of the Underground People, Telesdon was unleashed to terrorize a city on the surface world, as well as distract the Science Patrol from the Underground People's real plan. The Underground People had captured and attempted to hypnotize Shin Hayata into using Ultraman as their own weapon. However, they underestimated Ultraman's power, as Ultraman's light and energy blinded and killed the Underground People and Ultraman quickly escaped to the surface to fight Telesdon. While Telesdon tried his best, he was of little match for the hero and was beaten to death and finished by Ultraman's Dropped Rock.
Towards the end of the series, Telesdon was revived as Re-Telesdon (再生テレスドン Saisei Teresudon?). He, along with Dorako and Pigmon were revived by Geronimon as a warning to humanity of Geronimon's plan for conquest. However, both Telesdon and Re-Dorako were killed by The Science Patrol before Geronimon could appear himself, while Pigmon was killed by Re-Dorako for distracting him.
- Telesdon's roar is a reused Gyango roar.
- Originally, Gomora and Red King were to be revived by Geronimon, but due to their suits being in overused condition, they were replaced by Telesdon and Dorako. Gomora was replaced by Telesdon.
- In his revived appearance, Telesdon had one blue eye and one black eye.
- Although not appearing as himself in the series, the Telesdon suit was loosely disguised to create the monster Detton, in the series The Return of Ultraman.
- In the film, Terror of MechaGodzilla, One of Dr Mafune's anatomical drawings of dinosaurs is Telesdon.
- Telesdon's name originates from the French word for "Underground".
- Telesdon is some times called Teresdon.
- Re-Telesdon is sometimes known as its full name: Revived Telesdon
- Shepardon may be based on Telesdon because the Victorians were based on the Underground People.
Ultraman: The Ultimate HeroEdit
Telesdon reappeared in episode 4 of the series Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero as Powered Telsdon (パワードテレスドン Pawādo Teresudon?).
Much like his original appearance, Telesdon was a natural monster that was put under the control of The Sun people to do their bidding. Once Telesdon's movements were headed towards Los Angeles, WINR quickly went to the scene, but as soon as the sun rose, Telesdon fled underground to avoid being blinded by the sun's light. Soon, a game of "cat and mouse" is set up to lure Telesdon to the surface to be blinded by natural lights, but the trick doesn't work as Telesdon was NOT weak against other forms of light. After a scuffle with the Underground People, Kenichi Kai turned into Ultraman Powered and went to the surface to fight Telesdon. As Powered and Telesdon were fighting, WINR attempted to blind the creature with magnesium flares. After the flares were fired in Telesdon's face, Powered used the Mega Specium Ray to destroy him.
- Unlike its original appearance, Telesdon bears many metallic pieces on its body, showing little signs of organics.
- In this series, Powered Telesdon possesses no superpowers.
Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle Edit
Telesdon reappeared in episode 1, 2, and 7 of the series Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle.
Shortly after landing on the planet Boris, the ZAP SPACY surveyed the area, searching for any sign of life. Not long after, Telesdon emerged from the ground. Also appearing was a stray Sadola and shortly after the two monsters battled to a standstill. Their fight however, attracted the attention of a Red King, who interfered in the battle and easily beat down both Telesdon and Sadola, managing to choke Sadola to death. When Red King was distracted by the ZAP SPACY's appearance, Telesdon recovered and blindsided Red King and their battle resumed, but the ZAP SPACY chose not to watch this time in fear of another monster attacking them.
In the next episode during Golza's attack on the ZAP SPACY, Telesdon returned having survived the fight with Red King, and the monster closed in on the ZAP SPACY dangerously. Luckily, Rei arrived on the scene and sent Gomora and Litra to deal with both monsters. As Litra distracted Golza, Gomora battled with Telelsdon in a beam battle with Telesdon's flames and Gomora's Oscillatory Ray. Ultimately, Telesdon was overpowered and killed by Gomora's ray.
Later on, Telesdon as well as Red King and Neronga are all revived by the bizarre monster, Bullton to do battle against Rei and the ZAP SPACY. Telesdon teams up with Neronga to double team Gomora, but despite the odds, Gomora outsmarts Telesdon into killing Neronga with his own flames, as well as weakening Bullton's dimensional powers before killing Telesdon again with the Oscillatory Ray by sticking it into Telesdon's body and destroying Telesdon's insides in Gomora's usual manner.
- Telesdon and Sadola's battle in the beginning was to pay homage to their "battle" in Ultraman Jack (Telesdon disguised as Detton)
- During the opening credits to the series, Telesdon is seen battling Neronga, even though both monsters worked together when they were revived by Bullton.
- Telesdon as well as Sadora and Red King were referenced by the Spark Dolls Troupe in New Ultraman Retsuden Episode 16 to demonstrate the "rampaging hordes of monsters" living on Planet Boris. He also makes another apppearence in this episode alongside Golza fighting Gomora and Litra.
Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending OdysseyEdit
Telesdon reappeared in episode 10 of the series Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey.
In this series, Telesdon belonged to an Alien Zetton and was sent to battle Alien Hook's Re-Dorako. The two kaiju battled back and forth, nether gaining the upper hand on each other but right as Dorako was gaining the upper hand, a blast of energy from a King Joe Black obliterated both him and Telesdon.
- The Telesdon Suit from Ultra Galaxy was reused for Telesdon's appearance in the series.
- Telesdon and Re-Dorako's battle in their episode appearance was to pay homage to their second appearance in the ultra series.
Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legend The MovieEdit
Telesdon reappeared in the movie as one of Ultraman Belial's monsters. He was first seen as a spirit in 2 shots of the Monster Graveyard. The first one was with King Joe Black, Red King, Doragory, Alien Babarue, and an unknown kaiju while the second one was being emanated by the Plamsa Spark along with Sadola, King Gesura, Zetton, Jasyuline, and Angross. Telesdon then teamed up with Zoa Muruchi, Alien Temperor, Super Alien Hipporito, and Earthron to take on Gomora. When Gomora became beserk, Telesdon was called back along with the remaining monsters to watch Gomora fight the Ultras and was later called back out to fight Ultraman Zero. He was the first monster to be killed by Ultraman Zero's Zero Wide Shot in the final battle followed by Alien Temperor, Vakishim, and Gudon.
- The Telesdon Suit from Ultra Galaxy was reused and modified for Telesdon's appearance in the film.
- Telesdon is one of the monsters that makes up Beryudora's Left Arm in Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legend The Movie.
Ultra Zero FightEditTelesdon, Bemlar, Gudon, and Sadora were revived from the monster Graveyard by Gurashi to fight Ultraman Zero. He fired his flames alongside Bemlar's after Gudon and Sadora were killed but he was killed again with Bemlar by Zero's LunaMiracle Zero Slugger.
- The Telesdon Suit from Ultra Galaxy was reused in Ultra Zero Fight.
Ultraman Ginga: Theater Special Ultra Monster Hero Battle Royale!Edit
Telesdon appeared in the second movie special. He was the ninth monster to be UltraLived by the Live Pad and the second monster to be UltraLived by Chigusa Kuno. He went up against Snowgon first and won thanks to his flames. After being ambushed by Dorako, Telesdon knocked him down with his tail and then they fight. Both put up a terrific fight against each other, but before Telesdon could finish off Dorako, the latter vanished. Telesdon then went up against Alien Baltan. Baltan confused Telesdon with his illusions and teleportation, held Telesdon with his telekinesis and finished him off by firing his missiles until Telesdon was called out.
Ultraman XEdit
A cybernetic version of Telesdon, Cyber Telesdon (サイバーテレスドン Saibā Teresudon?) will appear in Ultraman X. Here, Cyber Telesdon was one of the Cyber Kaiju held in the Cyber Cards.
- Height: 60 m

Can't hate a woman for being honest, but the fur I can hate. And the bleach-blond Cory Feldman lookalike with the hard nipples that she's toting around with her. I hate his presence as well.

Tales of Guanajuato
I will try to catch up the last month and a half in the next couple entries.
I met Guille a couple days after arriving in Guanajuato, and we quickly took an interest in each other. It has subsequently developed into something more serious
Guille has a lot of hot friends. Sonia paired up with Gavin. She doesn't speak English, so Gavin's Spanish is getting *rapidly* better.
Christian is a friend of Gavin's from Melbourne. He came to Mexico for a month, joining us for most of that time in Guanajuato. He and Laura clicked:
From here on out it was like a monthlong triple date. This kind of thing is apparently not unusual in Guanajuato; it's a fairly cosmopolitan city with a major university, but it's nevertheless a small town and everyone knows everyone else. The locals (guys and girls alike) frequently date extranjeros.
Here are some random pictures of us having fun!
Guille and I at Bar Ocho (it's funny if you say it fast and understand spanish):
We found an Irish pub. Guiness, for strength!
Callejon del Beso
is the narrowest street in Guanajuato - narrow enough to kiss across the balconies.
Random pics of Guille and me:
We went out for karaoke. You can see what Gavin's singing in the

I feel like I haven't been posting enough food porn. Here's some:

Created by CHILDRENS HOSPITAL executive producers Rob Corddry (HOT TUB TIME MACHINE, THE DAILY SHOW WITH Jon Stewart), Jonathan Stern (THE TEN; NTSF:SD:SUV::) and David Wain (ROLE MODELS, WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER), with Emmy(R) Award-winning producer Jim Margolis (THE DAILY SHOW WITH Jon Stewart) serving as show-runner, Newsreaders will explore the vital issues that actually don't affect us every day, from hard-hitting investigations to harder-hitting heartwarming profiles. The series is produced by Abominable Pictures and Warner Bros. Television Group's Studio 2.0.
Adult Swim (AdultSwim.com), launched in 2001, is Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.'s network offering original and acquired animated and live-action series for young adults.

given the push. I see you are panic trolling very hard, and making your double standards very well known. Accusing Paramount of selling out? LOL! How do you think BD has so many "exclusive" studios. DUUUhhh. Keep eating the turd sandwhich Sony forced down your throat. BD attach rate is absolutely pathetic. Paramount recognizes this and others will follow.
HD DVD had 33% of the market with very little marketing, no retailer endcap purchases, no retailer buyouts, no rental store buyouts, low player density, one major exclusive studio, and no game machine with it by default. Guess what's gonna happen now? Go on little guy, continue panic trolling.
BTW: if BD had extra content would it be a bad thing? It's too bad the technology is in pre-alpha stages and can't even match a lowly 30GB HD DVD in presentation, lol.
You BD dorks are going to be eating so much crow in 2 - 3 years, I'm gonna shove it down your throats, count on it!

Phoenix Suns
Suns analyst: Team would benefit from veteran experience, clutch performer
It's hard to critique a team that exceeds everyone's expectations.
The Phoenix Suns turned last year's 25-57 record into a 48-34 campaign this season, just missing the playoffs by one game.
Suns analyst Eddie Johnson says for the team to continue their winning ways, the Suns still have room to get better.
"You always improve in the offseason," Johnson told the Dan Bickley Show with Vince Marotta on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM. "That's first and foremost. Second, I think it's pretty obvious they have to get more physical. They are a great shooting basketball team and they have guys that can get to the hole.
"I think for them, it's getting dirt workers, finding some how, someway to get a guy that can play the low post and that can command a half a double team, or that can actually catch it down there with his back to the basket and do something, especially in late game situations. I think that's the area they need to improve because they have the shooting, the speed, the winning mentality and a deep bench. Now it is about veteran leadership. If they can go out and find a way to get a star to come in and coexist in that front line, fine. But I think they aren't far away from being a competitive team. This year, they beat some teams that we probably would say they shouldn't have beaten. But we know they lost some games they shouldn't have lost. That's because, I think, down the stretch in games, you got to have that star player."
Johnson noted that while the Memphis Grizzlies and the Dallas Mavericks have star caliber players on their rosters like Dirk Nowitzki, Monta Ellis, Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol, the Suns didn't have that guy on the team to take over.
However, that doesn't mean one won't emerge. Johnson thinks the clutch trait can be developed, and it may already exist on the Suns.
"I think it takes a special person to have that," Johnson said. "Now, Gerald Green has it. He has that forgetful gene where he doesn't worry about it. That's a good guy to have on your team because who cares about field goal percentage? You want a guy that feels confident that he can make shots. That's something the Suns have in Gerald and Goran. I think Eric Bledsoe will develop it. They do have a couple of guys that don't worry about it, and they just put it up with confidence and that's what you need in games down the stretch."

(NewsUSA) - There are a few things that signify summer is in full swing: the sound of an ice cream truck driving down the street, catching lightning bugs on a warm night and outdoor picnics with your favorite fare. Between meal prep and setting up shop, packing the perfect picnic basket may seem like a chore, but it can be a walk in the park with a few quick tips.
Whether you're planning an outdoor outing for your whole family or just a party of two, you're sure to have a great time if you keep these pointers in mind:
* Forget the Forks: Portability is number one when it comes to a mess-free picnic. Save yourself the hassle of creating dishes that require multiple utensils and opt for simple sandwiches instead. For easy assembly and a fun twist, bring along delicious ingredients like lean protein, sharp cheeses and tangy condiments for a "build-your-own" bar. Guests will love testing their culinary chops with protein-packed options like Simply Delicious sandwich meats from Land O'Frost. Available in a wide selection of flavors, from black forest ham and slow-roasted beef to honey-roasted turkey breast, the entire line of Simply Delicious products contain no artificial flavors, by-products or added hormones.
* Reverse Your Thinking: Once you've identified your picnic destination, it can take a while to prep before you can chow down. Streamline setup by packing your basket in reverse order. Rather than placing food items on top, move them to the bottom of your basket, followed by serving items and a tablecloth to top it off. This will make it easy to grab what you need when you arrive. * Squeeze In Extra Savings: If you're planning to grill at your next picnic, save yourself the trouble of packing full-size condiments for burgers and hot dogs, and bring along portable packs. Save extra condiment packets from your favorite fast-food restaurants to add to your next picnic basket. Taking up almost no room, these are ideal for outdoor meals.
With these time-saving tips in mind, your summer picnics will be a breeze. For coupons and more information about Simply Delicious products from Land O'Frost, visit www.landofrost.com.
(NewsUSA) - Three square meals a day are a thing of the past. Busy schedules, diverse dietary preferences and the flow of modern life necessitate more flexible and convenient meals. Luckily, snacking is in the midst of a revolution. Traditional snacks like chips and pretzels have given way to bigger, better and healthier options that deliver both convenience and nutrition in one tasty package. Whether clean-label, organic, vegan or nutrient-added, it's up to ingredient suppliers and manufacturers to develop products that meet all of these demands. That's certainly a tall order.
While there are no standard requirements for clean label snacks, naturally derived gums, hydrocolloids and colors are generally accepted in such applications and have become increasingly popular. You might see these ingredients listed as carrageenan, a soluble fiber from red seaweed, or cellulose gel, which is a refined plant fiber. In many foods and beverages, these ingredients improve shelf life and nutritional value without diminishing taste -- like giving drinkable low-fat yogurt that distinctive creamy consistency with every sip.
They also prove quite functional in products that meet strict dietary requirements, like gluten-free and vegetarian options. Hydrocolloids and gums like carrageenan, alginates and cellulose gel can be sustainably sourced from nature and are perfectly suited for vegetarian and vegan foods. Either by improving the flavor and fullness of meatless sausage or producing non-dairy ice cream with that definitive indulgence and delectability, these ingredients are making new snacking options both possible and palatable.
Reducing the number of ingredients in a recipe is one challenge and, more recently, adding ingredients has become another. We want foods and beverages with added value, but it's important to understand that introducing vitamins or nutrients to any product can significantly affect flavor and texture. Enriched, shelf-stable snacks that boast added protein need a stabilizer to maintain the quality of the product. Without the added ingredients like carrageenan, similar products might separate, taste chalky or be less effective than their claims imply.
Food companies are adapting their product formulations and rolling out new products to meet demand for healthy snacking solutions. Naturally derived ingredients that help reduce fat and sugar content but maintain product integrity are changing the way we snack. They deliver that indulgent experience we all appreciate. For more information on ingredients that give us a variety of snacks for a wide range of diets, please visit www.FoodScienceMatters.com.
(NewsUSA) - "Made in America" matters; almost 80 percent of Americans would prefer to buy an American-made product instead of one made abroad, based on data from a national survey by the Consumer Reports National Research Center. The findings appeared in an article in the February 2013 issue of Consumer Reports magazine.
In addition, more than 80 percent of the survey respondents cited keeping American jobs and maintaining America's strength in the global economy as reasons to support American-made products.
Henry Repeating Arms, maker of repeating firearms based on the design that was patented in 1860, is one example of a company that takes pride in its American roots and gives back to the country and communities.
The company's Guns for Great Causes program includes a range of activities that benefit individuals and organizations of all sizes.
Examples of how the company has made a difference include a donation of two Henry rifles to a Missouri high school fundraiser to send the school choir to perform at Carnegie Hall, as well as a donation of 100 Henry rifles custom embellished with the Kansas state flower to benefit a sick 4 year old girl from Sedan, Kan. Henry is the lead sponsor of the Charlie Daniels' Volunteer Jam 40th Anniversary to benefit The Journey Home Project program for veterans. It has made donations to many medical charities, including the Peyton Manning Children's Hospital, the Roger Maris Cancer Center and the Ronald McDonald House. Within its industry, Henry supports the NRA, as well as many wildlife conservation and youth shooting sports organizations.
Henry Repeating Arms is one of many companies that support American troops via the USO and a multitude of charitable military organizations -- such as the Marine Corp Scholarship Fund, Operation Homefront and Paralyzed Veterans of America. Anthony Imperato, president of Henry Repeating Arms, has personally thanked many veterans for their service with a gift of a Henry Military Service Tribute Edition rifle.
Extraordinary customer service is a key foundation of the company's success. Henry's Extreme Customer Service policy means that all customer service issues are handled in-house by a staff operating with a mandate from Mr. Imperato to do whatever it takes to make certain the customer is satisfied. The policy includes an unlimited lifetime guarantee on products, and Mr. Imperato responds personally to customer emails seven days a week.

THE SWELL SEASON DVD, Feat. Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, Reissued to Honor ONCE's Tony Wins
On the heels of the musical Once's remarkable eight Tony wins, Artists Den Entertainment is re-releasing its DVD, The Swell Season: Live from the Artists Den. The DVD features the original artists who penned the music for Once, performing at the Good Shepherd Center Chapel in Seattle, Wash., in 2007, shortly before receiving their Grammy and Academy Award nominations. Selections from the show aired on public television's Live from the Artists Den, an innovative music series featuring acclaimed artists performing in extraordinary settings. The full concert DVD features more than 30 minutes of bonus material not seen on the television broadcast, including 4 songs featured in the musical Once.
Known to the world from the indie film sensation Once, The Swell Season is led by Irish singer Glen Hansard (of the band The Frames) and Czech singer-songwriter Markéta Irglová. Their music for the film received numerous prestigious award nods, including two Grammy nominations (Best Song Written for Motion Picture, Television, or Other Visual Media – "Falling Slowly" and Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for Motion Picture, Television, or Other Visual Media – Once) that culminated with the song "Falling Slowly" winning Best Original Song at the 2008 Academy Awards. The film was subsequently adapted for the stage. The musical Once opened to critical acclaim at the New York Theater Workshop in 2011 before moving to Broadway in 2012. On June 10, 2012, the musical won 8 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Direction of a Musical, Book of a Musical, and Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical.
Built in 1906 as a shelter for wayward or orphaned girls, the Good Shepherd Center Chapel provided a new sort of haven for two hundred invited guests on a crisp autumn night when Hansard and Irglová gave a special performance of their haunting, melodic songs – backed by two of Hansard's bandmates from The Frames on bass and violin. The live DVD of the concert features interview clips and song introductions by Hansard, including a ghost story inspired by the venue, which he begins by saying, "I'm sure this place is full of ghosts, and I'm sure they'd like to hear this story."

Laker Pau Gasol #16 after scoring in the first half during game seven of a Western Conference semi-final playoff basketball game between the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center on Sunday May 17, 2009 in Los Angeles Photo via Newscom
Getty Images
I wonder if Lakers fans are wishing if they couldn't get Phil Jackson if they should have stuck with Mike Brown. Pau Gasol is such a bad fit for what D'Antoni is trying to do and the Lakers will have a hard time trading him because of his salary. For what it is what Pau who had another awful game last night, but he says he hasn't given up and doesn't want to be traded. "No, no, no, no," he said when asked if was considering asking for a trade. "That's a bit radical. I still believe. I still have faith in what we have here, and still have faith that I can be a big part in helping this team succeed right now. I'm not really being able to do that very often." And as Gasol is well aware, every loss will come with added pressure to make a move. "It's pointless (to think about it)," said Gasol, who spent so much of last season reportedly on the trading block. "There's always a chance (he'll get traded), and I think the more a team will struggle the more there's going to be a chance of that happening. But whether it happens or not is kind of a little bit out of my hands. Last year was very intense as far as that. This year, I've been vaccinated." Pau goes give a good quote.
