54 year old man | Red Bank, NJ, USA | Seeking women 44-55 within 20 miles
I am an active and passionate man with wide...
I am an active and passionate man with wide interests from reading and music to sports and politics. I enjoy daily workouts and participate in local 5Ks. I am looking for someone that enjoys a healthy life style but also loves to have fun. I want someone that will hold my hand when we are together and miss me terribly when we are apart. And of course, I will feel exactly the same way about her. The relationships that have developed for me since being single again have felt exactly that way. I realize that we have to start out as friends. However, I am looking for far more than "friendship". Of course, the "chemistry" has to be there. My Match experiences have helped me to realize that I am looking for that elusive chemistry and to minimize drama in a relationship. We all have to live with stress and pressure to some degree. However, if we are right for each other we will help to ease the normal stress that our daily lives hit us with. The important thing is not to let "bumps" turn into a "crisis". I am anxious to meet someone looking for an emotionally available and passionate man. I am the very proud Father of two daughters that I adore. They are 19 and 22 and both are beautiful young ladies. I love them both deeply and spend as much time with them as possible. I am very close to my friends and especially my two sisters. We have a small family with both parents gone and their having been only children. However, we believe in quality and not quantity. We all live within about 10 miles of each other and get together on a regular basis. I always enjoy long walks with my best friend Jessie (my Black Lab). My favorite vacation is my annual trip to North Truro in Cape Cod in the Fall. The Cape is gorgeous and quiet that time of year. Another of my many passions is music. My iPod ranges literally from Beethoven to Pearl Jam and is heavy on Bruce Springsteen and John Hiatt. The bottom line is that I am looking for "a good companion now for this part of the ride", someone that will "have a little faith in me". I absolutely believe in the "land of hope and dreams" because..."no matter how cold the winter, there is a spring time ahead". My idea of a great date would be a quiet dinner followed by a great concert at the Count Basie Theatre. I am looking for someone that would enjoy sharing that with me. Nothing more serious to start. But who knows where it might lead us?

Motocross Madness
Written by: Rick Wallace
Posted On: 4/10/2013 Publisher: Microsoft Studios
Motocross Madness is back and while some may feel it's not the same as it used to be I have to say that this is probably one of the better motocross games available on the Xbox 360. THQ has held the reins of the dirt bike genre for a few years but dramatically dropped the ball with their MX vs ATV series over the last few titles. Motocross Madness was an established title at one point over a decade ago and now offers up the same fun on an arcade style level. If you like Motocross then you will like this game.
Now the game is not perfect as you'll run into weird collision issues from time to time and awkward bounces off of obstacles about the track. But in this game, while frustrating at times, it's almost forgivable due to the over the top approach by the developer. Issues with some of the on screen action can prove to be more than frustrating here and there and at times will have you immediately hitting the restart option. But I have to say the fun factor and options as well as achievements will keep you playing and enjoying the game.
Motocross Madness is an XBLA game that incorporates your avatar as well as the new Avatar Famestar system into the game. There are tasks, challenges and other plateaus for you to achieve such as rider skill level that will keep you playing. Add in the Bike Club feature and you definitely have something that will keep you coming back for more despite some of its issues.
So, let's get into what you can expect from the game. You'll get a career campaign that spans across 3 regions (Egypt, Australia and Iceland). Each of these regions has an eve t breakdown that consists of races, rival races, exploration and trick events. You'll earn XP and cash as well as unlocking new events for placing with a medal in each of these events. Now of course I am sure there will be a ton of add-on content that will add new regions, bikes, etc. Yes, the game could end up being a bit of a money grab but the content you initially get should suffice for most folks.
The game is very socially interactive using the Bike Club feature. This feature will present you with challenges for you and your friends. Anyone on your friends list that plays the game is automatically part of your club. There is no need to try and recruit folks. You'll have tasks to complete as a group like total mileage, air time and more. The more friends you have playing the game the easier it will be to complete the tasks. The challenges consist of beating friend's scores in events that have topped your own.
The Rivals mode in the game is where I spent a lot of my time as in this mode you'll race against other rider's best times. In the career mode it's a one on one session and you'll really have to use every bit of boost you can obtain as well as take lots of shortcuts. These races take place on the same tracks as the normal races.
There is an exploration mode and a trick mode in the career campaign as well. Both of these modes offer up the opportunity to level up your rider with XP and earn some cash to buy new bikes, upgrades and apparel. I really enjoy the fact that the game uses your Avatar as your rider and the outfits and gear you can buy looks great. I do wish you could actually wear the gear as your regular avatar outfit outside the game though.
The controls in the game are simple. You have throttle and gas, trick buttons and a boost button. That's basically it. As you add upgrades to your bike the handling gets much better which is something I was concerned with when first firing up the game and playing a few races. Doing tricks will earn you boost as well as XP for your rider so be sure to take every advantage to do tricks when you can.
Aside from the career you have the multiplayer option to dabble in. The only difference from the single player campaign racing is that you are racing against real people. Create your own lobby or jump into a quick match and show your stuff. You'll get a normal race mode, and exploration mode and the trick mode to compete in. You can race with 2 players locally in split screen while online as well which is very cool.
The game as a whole is a lot of fun to play and I put in quite a few hours over the last week leveling my rider up. The inclusion of the Avatar Famestar program and the bike club adds a lot of replay value to the game. And the more friends you have playing it the better the game gets. While I won't be so quick to compare this to the old Motocross Madness I will say that fans of the series should enjoy this game. Unfortunately there are no track editors as of yet but let's hope that is something that may be down the road. Is the game worth picking up? Absolutely. I think it should be part of any racing fan's library. 800 Microsoft Points is a pretty good price point for everything this game has to offer. Grab it now.

3.0 out of 5 stars Who Is Keyser Söze?
I didn't know what to expect from The Usual Suspects, I wasn't sure if this was a candid look at policing, or whether, it was just some comedy, but thankfully, it was a conscience look at crime, and the labyrinth built by criminals to avoid jail, and this, Bryan Singer's second film is a real eye-opener.
it all starts with a bunch of criminals, Stephen Baldwin...

4.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling Plot, Poor Upscale,
C.L.H "Claire" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: The Usual Suspects [Blu-ray] [1995] [Region A & B] (Blu-ray)
"The Usual Suspects" is a film with an astonishing plot. To remain aware of what is going on, looking away from the screen for even a second is inadvisable. Despite the story line being saturated with information it is an enjoyable movie to watch. Due to the disjointed skipping between time lines, particularly in the beginning, it can be a little difficult to become immersed but I would say that it is worth the wait. As the plot unfolds it is increasingly captivating. What else made this film so exceptional is the cast performance. Kevin Spacey was stunning as Verbal Kint and he added a real depth to the character. The other criminals were also made particularly believable in the eyes of the audience by the actors, and Nolan was particularly easy to empathise with.
That being said, I was disappointed by the quality of the upscale. This is not what I would term 'high definition' by any stretch of imagination. The picture quality wasn't bad, but it lacked the distinctive sharpness and crystal clear nature of most blu-ray films and DVD to BR conversions. Also, the picture on the sleeve was reminiscent of that on a pirate copy- that is to say, dreadful.
Complaints aside, it was an entertaining film and well worth watching for anybody interrested in criminal thrillers.

5.0 out of 5 stars They Don't Make Them Like They Used To??? See this...,
Mr. G. Stubbs (Stafford) - See all my reviews
Who is Keyser Soze? He's the man who will have you watching this film more than once that's who. This is the greatest film-noir since Bogart that'll have you guessing who won the oscar just as much as 'who did it' because it's genuinely that good. In line with the greatest of films only when the whole, fantastically unexpected truth unfurls in the final minutes do you realise what you have just experienced. This film restores faith that there are people out there making movies for the right reason. And when it's all over I'll have a little bet with you - you can't watch this film just the once. The extras are fine but it's the main feature that holds you. The intelligence sparkles, the plot bristles as it twists with the whole feel taking you back to a golden age. Top 10 material - and that's a claim not lightly made....

5.0 out of 5 stars Modern film noir brilliance,
By A Customer
Every so often a movie comes along that is brilliant in every way - a movie that obtains true classic status. The Usual Suspects in one such movie, and winner of 2 Oscars. It has the best and most complicated plot I have ever seen and is directed with extrordinary vision. It's a modern classic that can shoulder to shoulder with other greats such as L.A. Confidential and Memento. You find yourself drawn into it, and it's simply the best film for making you tear your hair out in frustation and yell "WHO IS KEYSER SOZE?" before running round the room yelling in anger. Then you settle down and watch eagerly, of course.
The plot can never really be explained until you've seen the film. Not for nothing did it win an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. But I'll do my best. After an explosion, the the small-time crook Verbal Kint is being questioned. His story is amazing. A group of criminals are rounded up for questioning over a hijacking, the "Usual Suspects" of the title. However, this meeting just gives them an oppurtunity to scheme maliciously together. They embark on a devious plan to rob a crook making use of the crooked police. However they become embroiled in the plots of a master criminal known as Keyser Soze, so mysterious and elusive that no-one has ever seen him. Under the guidance of "Kobayashi", they are directed to a ship and a job for Keyser, who is seemingly infallible, as Verbal says:
"I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is Keyser Soze."
In a shock ending that plays wonderfully on the gullibility of an audience to jump to conclusions, events come to a head with lightning-fast realisations. Believe me, you'll be slapping yourself for not seeing it.
The acting quality on show here is of the highest quality. It was the film that first announced Kevin Spacey (American Beauty, L.A. Confidential)onto the scene, who is undoutably one of the most talented actors in modern Hollywood. His portrayal of the crippled Verbal is unbelievably slick. He barely outshines the darkly brilliant Gabriel Bryne (The Enemy of The State), who plays Keaton with finesse. Another superb turn is for Benitio Del Toro (Traffic) as Fenster, who shows here the acting ability that won him the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Traffic. Pete Postlewaite is also excellent as the elusive Kobayashi. However, there is no doubt that the most brilliant talent behind this film is that of young director Brian Singer, also known for X-Men. This is a masterpiece that he will probably never better.
As this is Special Edition, you'll be expecting extras, and you get them. It's the 2 disc DVD that the film deserves. Documentarys, outtakes, commentaries, TV spots, trailers, featurettes and deleted scenes. We are also treated to 3 easter eggs, which is the most I've seen on a DVD for a long time. But the creme de la creme is something that we deserve - A Region 2 exclusive feature. About time we got more than the Americans for once!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-see.,
Themis-Athena (from somewhere between California and Germany) - See all my reviews
"Round up the usual suspects." And so they do - and ending up in the lineup are career criminals Michael McManus, Fred Fenster and Todd Hockney (Stephen Baldwin, Benicio del Toro and Kevin Pollack), ex-cop gone bad gone good again Dean Keaton (Gabriel Byrne) and small-time con man Verbal Kint (Kevin Spacey).
Wait a minute ... five criminals in one lineup? There's something wrong here, right? Right ...
In "The Usual Suspects," not only every line but every gesture, every facial expression and every camera cut counts. Even if you distrust the story being told, you can't exactly pin down everything that's wrong with it. The plot unfolds through the tale extracted from Kint, one of two survivors of a massacre and subsequent explosion on a boat docked in San Pedro Harbor, by U.S. Customs agent David Kujan (Chazz Palminteri). And at the same time as Kint is spinning his yarn, in a nearby hospital the other survivor (badly injured and fresh out of a coma) helps a police sketch artist draw a picture of the mastermind behind the scheme - "the devil," Keyser Söze.
You can watch this movie countless times, and you will still discover new subtleties every single time. Not only will you find that it still makes sense after the story line has been unraveled at the end (which therefore is a plot twist, not a non-sequitur). You'll also discover nuance upon nuance in Kevin Spacey's incredible performance. You'll see that tiny apologetic grin on Todd Hockney's face as attorney Kobayashi (Pete Postlethwaite) lists a weapons truck heist - the very act which brought them together in the initial lineup, and which they have all come to believe to have been a trumped-up charge - as Hockney's latest sin against Keyser Söze, now forming part of the debt to be repaid by participating in the suicide mission in San Pedro Harbor. And at some point you'll also have figured out all of Fenster's lines (not being a native English speaker, I am relieved to find that I wasn't the only one struggling with them at first) ... although the mumbling is of course part of his character, and is as excellently delivered as every other aspect of Benicio del Toro's acting, his lines are so funny and to the point you almost wish he'd speak more clearly so you wouldn't miss half his punch lines the first time around.
Among a cast of tremendous actors (to name just two, Gabriel Byrne in one of his best performances and Benicio del Toro, deserving much more than just an "also starring" mentioning in the opening credits), Kevin Spacey's star shines brightest. To this day it is a mystery to me how he came to be awarded the Academy Award for Best *Supporting* Actor - the only things the man supports (in fact carries, almost single-handedly) in this movie are Bryan Singer's directing and Christopher McQuarrie's screenplay, and that alone makes him the movie's lead character. But regardless of its title, the award was more than justified, and so was the one for McQuarrie's screenplay. With infinite trust in the audience's ability to pick up on little gestures, looks and inflections of his voice, Kevin Spacey displays all the many aspects of his character at the same time; and even the tenth time around, his performance still holds as true as the first time you watch the movie. Almost expressionless he tells his tale, always seeming to give away just about as much as he has to, and only raising his voice for a pointed (and exquisitely timed) expletive upon first being confronted with the name Keyser Söze, and for a wailing "Why me??" as agent Kujan tries to convince him that his own archenemy, Keaton, has been behind their failed enterprise all along and purposely let him (Kint) live to tell their story.
This is one of those movies which have you quote their many memorable one-liners forever - and not just the one about "the devil's greatest trick." To the extent that it cites other works, those citations pay homage, they don't merely copy - right down to the name of the movie's production company (Blue Parrot/Bad Hat); like the title containing a reference to "Casablanca," the prototype of all films noir (or those made in Hollywood at least). It is one of the best modern examples of the genre and has long since become a cult classic - it's a must in every decent collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absorbing, complex, subtle and total value for money. Genius,
The Usual Suspects is a staggering film. Unfortunately for me however, when I first bought this film on video I knew the twist at the end; though this doesn't make the pay-off any more electrifying just as the credits roll!
Although I did originally buy this film on video, I soon bought the DVD as well - not only are the extensive extras brilliant value for money but this is the kind of film that I'm going to want to keep for ever! The Usual Suspects is the kind of film that I want to watch again and again; not a single line of dialogue is extraneous, the direction is subtle and almost every shot actually means something, and the acting of EVERY single principal is just incredible. Kevin Spacey in particular gives a brilliantly nuanced turn as crippled con-man Verbal Kint, and others such as Gabriel Byrne, Chazz Palminteri and Pete Postlethwaite give layered, idiosyncratic and very memorable performances. The other 'Suspects' are equally memorable; Stephen Baldwin and Kevin Pollak don't give a s**t about anyone, and Benicio del Toro as Fenster is the most hilariously unique character I have ever seen in a film ("He'll flip yo. Flip yo for real"). Genius.
The extras on the DVD are similarly awesome; documentaries such as 'Rounding up the Usual Suspects' display the kind of effort that is usually not seen on DVD; the cast have returned to comment and reminisce on the film-making process, reflecting the affection and regard in which this film is held. The commentaries, one from Christopher McQuarrie + Bryan Singer, and one from John Ottman. These commentaries are informative and entertaining, and in particular McQuarrie and Singer are very modest and hilariously witty in their views on the talk track. The way that they laugh about such niggles as continuity errors is brilliant.
This DVD package shows the respect that this film has garnered from all areas of industry; everyone wanted to return to talk about it for the documentaries, and the quality of the image and sound is absolutely top-notch. This is a film that you NEED for your collection. One of the best films of the '90s, it demands repeat viewings and thus is brilliant value for money. Buy it now!

5.0 out of 5 stars "...round up the usual suspects...",
This review is from: The Usual Suspects [VHS] [1995] (VHS Tape)
The Usual Suspects
Every now and again a film comes along that is described as a gem. This is because the film just like a gem is a surprising pleasure to find esecially amongst the mass expanse and typical rubble of moviedom.
The Usual Suspects...
is just such a gem!
The film is described as a classic by all who have seen it even though it was released as recently as 1995. The title of the film itself is said to be borrowed from the much earlier classic, Casablanca.
When the film was released, it contained a host of 'unknowns'. However, do not associate the word 'unknowns' with 'untalented'; as is proved by the star of the film, Kevin Spacey, who picked up an Oscar for his mesmerising performance as Verbal Kint.
I confess that I will not try and give you a detailed synopsis of the film as I do not want to spoil your viewing (or perhaps more appropriately I would not know where to start my synopsis!)
Quick Synopsis:
Five Criminals Are Brought Together In A Police Line-Up...
If you are going to see the film for the first time, you will notice that when you ask for the film at your local video store, a smile will mould itself onto the owner's face. Why?
Because he knows just as everyone else who has seen the film that you are letting yourself in for something special.
And, I guarantee you that the next time you go into your local video store and catch a glimpse of the now 'oh-so-famous' cover of the film out of the corner of your eye you will notice that whereas before the film camouflaged itself against all the other films, it now seems to shine just like a self-assured individual stands out from a crowd.
If you are going to see the film for the second/third/whatever time. I hope you enjoy the film again and have fun trying to answer the immortal question:
Hope you found this review helpful.

4.0 out of 5 stars WHO IS KEYSER SOZE?...,
Lawyeraau (Balmoral Castle) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Usual Suspects [VHS] [1995] (VHS Tape)
Christopher McQuarrie's Academy Award winning, original screenplay, coupled with Bryan Singer's masterful direction of a stellar cast, makes for a complex and absorbing film. Told in flashback, the film recounts how five individuals on the wrong side of the law hook up to steal a multi-million dollar cache of cocaine from a docked vessel.
Led by former Los Angeles detective turned bad guy, Dean Keaton (Gabriel Byrne), Roger "Verbal" Kint (Kevin Spacey), Michael McManus (Stephen Baldwin), Todd Hockey ((Kevin Pollack), and Fred Fenster (Benicio Del Toro), proceed to their rendevous point and begin executing their plan of action. Their foray into this million dollar drug heist turns bad almost immediately. Something or someone is afoot who does not want them to succeed, and who seems to know their every move.
The story is told in flashback by "Verbal" Kint, a club footed, crestfallen, soft spoken, unlikely looking criminal. He recounts the details of the doomed heist to hardnosed Detective, David Kujan (Chazz Palmentieri), building his story around an almost mythic, Hungarian crime lord named Keyser Soze. As "Verbal" details what happened, the viewer is mesmerized by his compelling narrative of how he and his partners in crime were inveigled into attempting this daring heist, which ultimately led to the disastrous events that culminated on the ship. It seems that their heist was probably destined to be doomed from the start, as another agenda may have been paramount to theirs.
Kevin Spacey won a 1995 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his low key, ingratiating portrayal of "Verbal" Kint. Gabriel Byrne also gives a compelling performance as the cop who ended on the wrong side of the law. The rest of the cast also give stellar performances, with the exception of Benicio Del Toro, who gives an odd, marble mouthed performance. Notwithstanding this, the film is really a splendid tour de force that is sure to captivate the viewer. Who is the mythic Keyser Soze? Watch the film and find out.

This gripping tour-de-force film has it all. A great cast, plot, characters and a twisting storyline that will have you on the edge of your seat before the explosive finale. Held in an L.A. interrogation room, a crippled crook called Verbal Kint (Kevin Spacey) attempts to convince the authorities that the mythic crime overlord Keyzer Soze not only exists, but also was the cause of an explosion on a tanker in suspicious circumstances in San Pedro Harbour. But as Verbal lures his interrogators nito the incredible story of the crime lord's prowess, so too is the audience, captivated from beginning to end. This classic will leave you amazed as the plot unravels in the dying moments. With outstanding performances from Kevin Spacey, Gabriel Byrne, Pete Postelthwaite, Benecio Del Toro and Stephen Baldwin, this is truly a film not to be missed. Winner of two 1995 Academy Awards, it will leave you breathless, and begging for more, leaving you with the sense you have been distracted through a great piece of directing by Bryan Singer. Truly one of the best and a guarenteed pleaser for almost all good film fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best film in its genre,
If you haven't seen this before you are in for a real treat. The story unfolds at a rapid pace leaving you enthralled in its twists and turns. Then - when you're thoroughly confused - you get hit with a plot twist which will genuinely stun you. It honestly left me speechless and desperately wanting to watch it again with my newly acquired insight.
On second viewing the film seems completely different. It goes from being an outstanding whodunit to being a fantastic heist movie. Now that you know what's happening the pace seems to become slower and easier to follow. You'll see things that seem so obvious you'll be amazed you didn't notice them first-time-around. You'll have time to get to know the characters and enjoy their - often very humorous - exchanges. You'll also appreciate Singer's superb directing.
Although I'll never be able to recapture the magic of seeing it for the first time, it remains one of my favorite films which I never tire of watching.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Fantastic,
mr_random (England) - See all my reviews
One viewing of this film is simply not enough. There is so much detail and little pieces of information thrown in throughout the film it is almost impossible to take it all in and make sense of it all in the first time round. This adds to the appeal and longevity of The Usual Suspects, which is a truly excellent film, making use of top quality acting talent particularly from Kevin Spacey who deservedly won an OSCAR for his part as Verbal Kint.
The plot in this film is so absorbing drawing you in deeper and deeper as you go through the story of what has taken place. It is hard for me to elaborate too much on the plot without giving anything to those yet to see it, so all I will say is that there is a wonderful twist that will leave you scratching your head and perhaps feeling slightly dumb and gullible. This is especially evident when you re-watch the film and make sense of all the little clues that apparently served no purpose on the first viewing.
To compliment the excellent plot all of the characters lines within the movie are excellent and fit the characters perfectly and gives you some nice one liners to quote afterwards. What we have is a very well rounded film in all areas from start to finish, camera work, acting, scenes and much more. To top it all it comes in a nice little package with some worthwhile extras that well put together.
I give this film 5 stars, quality of the plot is far too good for anything else. Definitely buy this movie, take some time out and be aware that you should concentrate to get the most out of the film and will undoubtedly want to watch it again.

Hunger Doesn't Take a Summer Vacation
Summertime couldn't come soon enough for most children. But for many, the end of the school year marks a time of uncertainty for those who don't have access to regular meals at home. According to the Food Research and Action Center, over 21 million students receive free or reduced lunches during the school year, and that need doesn't go away when the school year is over.

No Housing Bubble in Sight – For Now
Exactly 10-years ago this month, Alan Greenspan was asked if he had any concerns regarding the housing market. At that time, he emphasized that he saw no sign of a nationwide housing bubble, but he did have concerns over "froth" in the market and pointed to a big increase in the purchase of investment properties -- particularly in second homes. As a result, he said, there are "a lot of local bubbles" around the country, but not at a national level.

A fetishist is after a paragon, or a precise sort of depravity. What I suggested here (turn back to the previous page Dream) is a unique mutant, and that degree of alien unfamiliarity would be completely anathema to a fetishist.

2002 Jeep Liberty426cidHemi, Lilly, PA, August 30, 2014 17:15My 2002 Limited has 121,000 miles. I bought it new. The first9 or 10 years, only normal maintenance, brakes,sensors, battery, tires. Since then I've replaced another battery, ECM (computer module), hood support lifts, rear hatch lifts, driver seat splash guard, the seat recliner mechanism broke (expensive repair) driver's leather seat splitting, check engine light on for major evap leak, fan resistor module stopped working (replace it) then the blower motor went (replaced it). The stainless steel exhaust lasted about 10 years. Will be putting my third muffler in 4 years and tailpipe. I noticed the heat shield has rusted and is laying on the muffler. The biggest issue is rust. Front doors , at the top of windshield, both sides of third brake light, hatch lift support rusted off. To fix that you have to replace the entire rear window. The clamp is moulded into the glass $400 to $500 for privacy glass. Not counting labor.Enthusiast

Only expensive repair had to replace the water pump, $450, rest has been windshield wipers, tires, sensors, and things that are just gonna wear out. I know it won't last forever, but sure don't know what I'd ever replace it with???

Eva Longoria suffers Golden Globes wardrobe malfunction
Eva Longoria has never been desperate for attention, but she raised quite a few eyebrows at the InStyle and Warner Bros. Golden Globes afterparty in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Jan. 13. The actress suffered a nip slip after she accidentally flashed her right breast while posing on the red carpet with her hairstylist pal Ken Paves.
Longoria's wardrobe malfunction aside, the "Desperate Housewives" alum, 37, had tongues wagging earlier in the evening when she donned a backless Emilio Pucci dress featuring a thigh-high slit and plunging neckline. The single star, whose leg-baring was compared to Angelina Jolie's 2012 Oscar pose,completed her look with Martin Katz jewels.
PHOTOS: Eva Longoria's smokin' hot style
The actress didn't seem too bothered by her sartorial snafu, as Longoria shared pictures from the star-studded party featuring actress Hayden Panettiere and Olympic gymnasts Gabby Douglas and Aly Raisman.
PHOTOS: Most embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions ever
Since "Desperate Housewives" ended its eight-season run in the spring of 2012, Longoria has kept busy by campaigning for President Barack Obama. She will interview U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Saturday, Jan. 26.

In a groundbreaking class-action case last spring, the Grant & Eisenhofer law firm of Wilmington, Del., represented 90 pension and investment funds and other foreign shareholders who settled for $450 millionafter accusing Royal Dutch Shell of inflating its oil and gas reserves from 1997 to 2003.
If the Netherlands case had been filed in the USA, it would have ranked as the third-largest U.S. shareholders' case against a foreign firm, based on PricewaterhouseCoopers' study.
More to come
"As foreign companies start taking large roles in the markets, we're going to see them subject to lawsuits as much as U.S. companies," says plaintiffs' attorney Stuart Grant at Grant & Eisenhofer. "They're no more immune to fraud than U.S. corporations."
In Europe, policymakers, shareholders, executives and consumer groups are battling about whether their countries should adopt stronger laws and civil litigation practices for investors.
Without tougher legal avenues, shareholders' attorneys argue that investors have little or no recourse to recoup their losses — especially in the wake of financial scandals involving Parmalat in Italy, HIH Insurance in Australia and other troubled companies.
Business leaders such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce warn that aggressive, U.S.-style litigation and class actions will flood other countries, hurt multinational companies and scare foreign businesses from investing in the USA.
Lisa Rickard, president of the chamber's Institute for Legal Reform, says other countries "need to be very careful not to create the same type of abusive litigation environment that we've seen here in the United States."
In Canada, for one, lawmakers debated for years before strengthening the country's securities act in 2005 to give shareholders greater legal license to sue executives, auditors, attorneys and others for securities fraud.
Paul Steep, an attorney at the Canadian law firm of McCarthy Tétrault, says there are caps on dollar liability for businesses that have been sued. But companies in Canada still fear a rise in frivolous shareholders' lawsuits as Canadian attorneys start to team more with U.S. law firms, he says.
The cross-border cases in all countries also raise vexing new legal issues, such as clashing jurisdictions and regulations, according to securities-fraud attorneys and legal scholars.
In U.S. federal courts, shareholders clearly can sue foreign companies with shares listed on U.S. stock exchanges. Judges also can add foreign shareholders to securities-fraud lawsuits.
Differing views abroad
But many foreign courts do not recognize U.S. court rulings, nor are there international treaties that require other countries to enforce U.S. court judgments, says attorney Ilana Buschkin at the Williams & Connolly law firm.
In one case earlier this year, the U.S. judge in a shareholders' lawsuit against Vivendi Universal granted class-action status to English, French and Dutch investors because their countries recognize U.S. rulings.
But the judge refused to add German shareholders, because German courts typically do not honor U.S. court decisions.
John Coffee, a Columbia University law professor, cautions that when U.S. courts certify foreign investors as class-action plaintiffs, it exposes foreign firms to a worldwide class of investors and potentially devastating judgments here.
"Do we want our courts to be the securities policemen of the world?" Coffee says.
As securities-fraud lawsuits go global, attorneys and judges will have plenty of time to hash out the legal issues.
"The challenge for everyone will be to keep up with it and respond to it," Wegener says. "I think we're just at the beginning."

When you look over the changes it seems like they want you to use 18 or above for some of the new features but that doesn't mean lower won't work. Maybe you want to look over the guides and see what some of the more experienced mods and members that wrote them recommend. I kind of like to follow my own path.
I think either rev 17 or rev 20, I'd go with 20. I also use CFG which seems more stable but apparently GX is good and looks nice but IN MY OPINION CFG is better, I don't have any probs with it at all, and I use one HDD on FAT32, and one as WBFS. Both work fine.

I'd probably go with either 38 or 57 but read this guide first to make sure

Editor's note: NESN.com is going to tell the story of the 2012 Red Sox in Bobby Valentine's words. Each game day, we will select a Valentine quote that sums up the day for the Red Sox. BOSTON -- This year, there was no home field advantage. After falling to the Rays in a 4-2 loss on Wednesday, the Red Sox finished with a 34-47 record at Fenway Park. It was the franchise's worst home record since the 1965 team logged the same record. Like the most of this month, the drawback was lack of run support. Despite six solid innings...

Microsoft Silverlight 5 is a rich application framework for creating high-performance, cross-platform desktop and mobile applications. In this course, author Walt Ritscher demonstrates how to build a variety of applications in Silverlight, with particular focus on building compelling business applications and delivering premium video and audio content. Developers will work with the C# programming language and Visual Studio Professional, as well as Expression Blend, a tool that simplifies creation of the interactive user interfaces expected in modern-day applications.
Business data is the lifeblood of any real-world application. Whether it is medical data, astronomy data, or social data there has to be a way to manipulate a report on that information. Silverlight has a magnificent binding framework, which I will show you in this movie. For this demonstration, I'm using Visual Studio and a project called Using Business Data in Binding. I will start by showing you one of my business classes. I have a class called RentalHouse which contains a number of properties like MarketingName, WeekPrice, IsWaterFront, and so on.
This class works in conjunction with another class called RentalManager. RentalManager has one interesting method called GetHouses, which returns an observable collection of RentalHouse. This is a generic collection, and the nice thing about the observable collection is it works really well with the Silverlight binding engine. In the body of my code, I'm instantiating a house, setting some properties, and then adding it to the houses collection. And then I add a second house.
My UI for this demonstration is over here in BasicOfDataBindingPage. And I just unpinned my tab. Let me repin that. You can always repin a tab in Visual Studio by holding down the Ctrl key and double-clicking on the title bar. There is my UI. It consists of several text boxes, a checkbox, and an image. I'm going to bind these controls to my underlying data source. So first let's go and look at the underlying data source in my code behind.
Press F7 to switch over there. For a successful binding in Silverlight, you need to set up five different parts. First of all of course, I need a data source. My data source here is coming from the DataClasses.Rental Manager, that class I showed you just a few seconds ago. I am called GetHouses, and then I am returning the first item in that collection. I am storing this house in this variable. Next, I am going to take that house variable and I am going to go my LayoutRoot-- the grid is part of my UI--and I am going to set as a DataContext to that house.
What this does is it provides the data source for this element and all of its children. So any element that is part of my layout root, any of the children elements, will have access to this data. Now the other four parts of the successful binding are listed here. I have the data source, but I also need to set the DataSource property. For example, that would be the MarketingName or the Location. I have to specify that target; in this case that will be one of my UI elements: my text box or my text block. I have to specify which property on my target is going to be bound.
That might be the text property or the IsChecked property. This has to be a dependency property for Silverlight to do the binding correctly. I also have to use the Silverlight binding class. Now that we have seen these parts, let's move over to XAML and set this up. I will start by looking at my Image. My image is one part of those five. The image is the data target, and the Source property is the data target property. It as two parts. The third part is the Binding class.
The fourth part is the name of the property on my underlying data source, and the fifth part was the part that I set my code behind, where I instantiated my data source and assigned it to the data context. With those five pieces, I can load the picture into this image. I am going to add a binding to this Weekly Price text box to show you how this works. I will go up here. I will set the Text property equal to, I will type in a curly brace. Visual Studio recognizes I am working with a markup extension and adds the second curly brace.
It also shows me a list of available markup extensions. I want this first one, Binding, and then I'm going to type in the name of my source. I underline the source, so I am going to choose Weekly Price. I think this is the name I picked. No, WeekPrice, it's called WeekPrice, WeekPrice. And now I will save the Binding works. Press F5. I have a build error.
I see somehow have added a second empty text property here. I will delete that, press F5 and run the application, and I have success. There is the weekly price, there is the image, and there is the house name. If your business data changes in the underlying data store, the Silverlight Binding framework should update your UI. It will manage your updates for you if you configure your data sources correctly. The mechanism of alerting Silverlight about data changes is the INotifyPropertyChanged interface.
Your data source implements this interface and raises an event whenever the data changes. The Silverlight dependency system listens for that event and updates the UI accordingly. I will return back to Visual Studio, and I will look at a different business class. Here I have a RentalHouseUpdate class. It's nearly the same as the business class I showed you a few minutes ago, except it implements INotifyPropertyChanged, and this requires me to have an event called PropertyChanged.
Here it is. And then I raise this event when I want to notify Silverlight that something changed. Here is the code that does that. When I set my weekPrice right here in the center, I am assigning the value to my underlying back invariable, and then I'm using a little helper class RaisePropertyChange event to notify Silverlight, yes, I have just changed the weekPrice. I have a helper class that works with this. Over here, this helper class instantiates my RentalHouseUpdate class and then returns some data. And to just simulate that the data is changing on the back end, I have a DispatcherTimer which fires every three seconds. That's being set up right here, Interval equal three seconds.
I set up a timer.Tick event procedure here and start my timer and then every time this function runs, I have a random number generator that calculates a new price for that house. Now when I run the application and click on this one here called Updating source, you can see that the Weekly Price is changing. Remember this RentalHouse class? It didn't implement INotifyPropertyChanged. Your business classes might not implement this interface and you might not have permission to alter the business code.
There is a pattern in the Silverlight world that works around this problem. It is called the The Model-View-View-Model pattern, or MVVM. The way this works is instead of binding directly to my RentalHouse, I create an intermediate class called the View model. The View model instantiates my RentalHouse on my behalf and then exposes it through properties on the View model, and then my form--in this case the BasicsOfBusinessBinding--instead of binding directly to the RentalHouse, binds to my view model instead.
I suggest you learn more about MVVM, as it is a common UI pattern in the Silverlight community. From my last demonstration, I thought I would show you binding to a different data source and also how you could bind the tooltip to the underlying data source. My business data in this case is CalendarDays, which has two properties: DayName and IsWeekend. And then I also have a class down here called Calendar Days which implements List of calendar day. And as you can see in the body here, I'm setting up some days and whether IsWeekend is true or false.
My UI is over here in this binding tooltip section. What am I doing here? I have a list box and I am binding it to the CalenderDays. If you looked in my code behind, you see I am instantiating the calendar days. And then I'm replacing the standard template that shows in a list box with my own custom template. That's called the DataTemplate. And within the DataTemplate I specify Stackpanel and then any other valid Silverlight UI. So for each row of data in my underlying source, it's going to draw a Stackpanel and then a Border and then a TextBlock, and the text property of this TextBlock will be bound to the DayName inside my Source. And then down here in this checkbox, we will have this IsChecked property bound to IsWeekend.
To make tooltip work, I go up to the ListBox itself and I bind the toolTipService.TooTip property to a Binding, and I say go to the SelectedItem of the ElementName DayListBox--that's my list box--determine which is the selected row, and get it's DayName value and show that in the tooltip. Let's see. Click over here, select Friday, hover my mouse over the ListBox, and the tooltip pops up that says Friday.
Select Sunday, hover my mouse over to ListBox, and the toolTip says Sunday. I wish I had more time to show you more business-binding features. It is a vital skill to have Silverlight developers. To do justice to the topic would take many days, however. Watch the next movie, and I'll introduce you to list binding.
