However, the Penguins don't aspire merely to be good -- they expect to be champions. They've averaged 47 wins the last five seasons, played in two Stanley Cup Finals and won one -- yet a number of their core players are 25 or younger. They don't plan on being one-hit wonders; this is a team that goes into every season anticipating it will play until June.

The Penguins looked to be a Cup-worthy team last season, assembling a 12-game winning streak before injuries to Crosby (concussion in early January) and Malkin (torn right knee ligaments in early February) cost them their two elite players. They already had played the first half of the season without center Jordan Staal (foot, hand). Despite all the injuries, their depth, resiliency and Jack Adams Award-winning coach Dan Bylsma's craftiness and creativity enabled them to finish with 106 points, the second-best in franchise history.
Losing so much star power finally caught up to the Penguins in the postseason, as they squandered a 3-1 series lead for only the second time in team history and lost 1-0 to Tampa Bay in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. The early ouster left them wondering how their season would have gone had they not been without Crosby, who had a substantial lead in the scoring race when he was hurt, and Malkin, a former Art Ross Trophy winner.
The Penguins don't want to end this season wondering what might have been.
While they don't know exactly when the 24-year-old Crosby will make his season's debut as he continues to recover, Malkin is healthy and motivated, and talking of producing like he did during his 113-point season in 2008-09. There might be more lineup depth than at any time since the early 1990s. And a team that once cared more about scoring goals than preventing them has transformed itself into one that can win with offense or defense.
Before getting hurt, Crosby (66 points in 41 games) was on pace for the highest point total by an NHL player since 1995-96. Crosby doesn't know how long it will take him to return to playing at such a level once he gets back.
"I want to get back there, and understand that it might take some time," he said. "With that being said, that's where I want to be."
It's where Malkin wants to be, too.
Disappointed at averaging below a point per game for the first time in his career last season, he put in his most strenuous offseason to date while recovering from knee surgery. The 25-year-old reported to training camp in the best shape of his career and in no mood to repeat last season.
"I'm going to play at the same level I played at three seasons before," he said.
The return of Crosby and Malkin should help a power play that converted at only a 15.8-percent rate, ranking 25th in the League during the regular season, and went 1-for-35 against Tampa Bay in the playoffs.
IN: Alexandre Picard, D (free agent, Canadiens); Steve Sullivan, LW (free agent, Predators); Boris Valabik, D (free agent, Bruins); Jason Williams, C (free agent, Stars)
OUT: Mike Comrie, C (free agent); Chris Connor, RW (free agent, Red Wings); Eric Godard, RW (free agent, Stars); Alex Kovalev, RW (free agent, Atlant Mystichi, Russia); Mike Rupp, C (free agent, Rangers); Brett Sterling, LW (free agent, Blues); Maxime Talbot, C (free agent, Flyers)
OUT: Mike Comrie, C (free agent); Chris Connor, RW (free agent, Red Wings); Eric Godard, RW (free agent, Stars); Alex Kovalev, RW (free agent, Atlant Mystichi, Russia); Mike Rupp, C (free agent, Rangers); Brett Sterling, LW (free agent, Blues); Maxime Talbot, C (free agent, Flyers)
Bylsma and general manager Ray Shero have long sought a capable scorer to play alongside Crosby or Malkin, and James Neal could be that player. He had 21 goals in 59 games with Dallas, but scored just once in 20 games after arriving in Pittsburgh.
Forced to improvise offensively without two former scoring champions, Pittsburgh got productive seasons from Chris Kunitz (23 goals) and Tyler Kennedy, who's career-best 21 goals earned him a new two-year contract. Pascal Dupuis had four of the team's 13 short-handed goals while scoring 17 goals himself, and with Matt Cooke and Craig Adams, was invaluable on the NHL's best penalty-killing unit (86.1 percent). It was the first time Pittsburgh's man-down unit has led the League.
But the Penguins were without Cooke after March 20 because of a suspension for elbowing the Rangers' Ryan McDonagh in the head. A renowned agitator, Cooke is vowing to reform his game and avoid suspendable hits.
"He can still be an aggressive player and play his game," Bylsma said.
Forwards Maxime Talbot (Flyers) and Mike Rupp (Rangers) signed elsewhere -- Penguins fans must adjust to the sight of both Talbot and Jaromir Jagr in orange and black with Philadelphia -- but the reacquired Richard Park could slide into Talbot's irritating-to-oppose role. And 37-year-old Steve Sullivan will add a veteran's steadying presence if he stays healthy; he's ticketed to play alongside Malkin and Kennedy on the second line.
This could be the season that prospects Dustin Jeffrey and Eric Tangradi stick, but Mark Letestu (14 goals in 64 games) will be tough to beat out. The 250-pound Steve MacIntyre assumes Eric Godard's tough-guy role.
"It's like night and day this season," Martin said, referring to his comfort level with Bylsma's system.
There's not much drop-off when the puck-moving Kris Letang (42 assists) and shut-down specialist Brooks Orpik are on the ice; Orpik's size, toughness and competitiveness allow Letang to take the offensive gambles that many defensemen wouldn't attempt.
Orpik, who had surgery for a sports hernia in July, had 194 hits as the Penguins finished third in the League with 2,280. Letang easily led the Penguins in ice time, and if it hadn't been for a second-half slump, he might have picked up more Norris Trophy support. Michalek (149) and Martin (129) were 1-2 on the team in blocked shots.
This is such a deep unit that top prospect Simon Despres, who almost made the club last season, was one of the first training camp cuts, while 18-year-old Joseph Morrow, a 2011 first-round draft pick, was a standout in camp but likely won't make the opening-day roster. Matt Niskanen, acquired from Dallas in the Neal trade, Deryk Engelland and Ben Lovejoy provide the kind of depth a team needs to play into the postseason.
Until Crosby was hurt, he unquestionably was the Penguins' MVP; afterward, it was Fleury. Bouncing back from an uneven regular season and poor playoff series against Montreal in 2009-10, Fleury had a 2.16 goals-against average in his final 56 starts and won 36 times on a team that had 49 wins, second only to Vancouver's 54.
Fleury broke into the league eight years ago but only is 26, and the Penguins expect him to remain an elite goalie for the long term. His backup is the capable Brent Johnson, whose 13-5-3 record helped the Penguins go 24-8-8 in one-goal games. And if another netminder is needed, Brad Thiessen was 35-8-1 at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, winning the AHL goalie of the year award.
Encouraged by his strong play and the likelihood Crosby will be back, Fleury said, "We want to get the Cup again."

If you're a fan of the movie
"Lost In Translation"
(and if you're not you really ought to do something about that, easily one of 2003's best, strangely romantic and memorable films),
this blog
features a host of interesting links and thoughts about the film. The site may be dead soon due to the owner's financial issues, but it's worth a look. I particularly like the bit about the Park Hyatt Tokyo offering a special Lost In Translation vacation package. Includes special "map to film locations." All for a mere 530,000 yen. Next, the theme park!

Restock Nude Illusion
By JENNIFER
from Undisclosed
Comments about Sheer Cream Lipstick SPF 15 - Rosy Glow - 0.05 oz:
Love this lipstick!! This is my go to for everyday wear. Nude Illusion is the best natural color out there. I have received several compliments through the years when wearing it. Have bought several for my friends as gifts because they would say, "I love that color! Where did you get it?" Of course no one says that to me now because I ran out a long time ago and every time I check the site it still says "Out of stock." So now I say, "I love Nude Illusion! When will it be back IN stock?"
Customer Service Response: Thanks for your comments! The Nude Illusion shade is due back in stock by mid-February. This timeline is tenative, but we're doing everything we can to ensure this popular shade is back in stock as soon as possible.

More Colors
By BETTY T.
I love this lipstick and would like to see it in a sheer red.
Would love updated colors and finishes
By loilee
Love this lipstick because it provides broad spectrum UV coverage. I wear this for work and daily routines; don't love the colors and finish enough to wear when dressing up. I would love a non shimmer finish and I would LOVE some updated colors in various pink shades. Also, wish it could be longer wearing. For now, this is my daily go to lipstick as there really isn't a better UV lipstick on the market. As always, I feel PC products are fairly priced and worth every penny!

Great Spf lipstick, but need more colors :-)
By Lisa
I love this lipstick.. it's so hard to find great broad spectrum spf lip products (trust me, I've looked!), and PC nailed it as usual! But I have to chime in, and agree with some of the other comments, and say that I hope PC considers making this in other colors for more "cool toned/ fair skinned" ladies. Or make more SPF lip products like lip balm/ tinted lip balm or lip gloss, etc.. :-) But this is a great quality lipstick, and I love that it protects my lips from those damaging UV rays! :-) x
By Muirne' T.
Smooth and creamy. Color is nice and even. I find it wears a off fairly quickly for me but otherwise it is a very good lipstick and I will be repurchasing.
Rosy Glow...nice nice!~
By Paulina V.
Very nice lipstick and does not feel heavy at all. I couldn't give it 5 stars because I honestly believe the price is too much for this. It's small. Get this product when it's on sale then I would say it is worth every penny. The color is lovely!

Love it, but lighter pinks please!
By SONIA S.
This compares very favorably to my favorite Dior and Givenchy sheer lipsticks in terms of color, quality, and texture. (And for half the price.) BUT, as a quite fair-skinned person with cooler skin tone, the Sherbet is too peachy and the Rosy Glow is just a little too bright/dark. I see lots of my fellow Paula's Choice addicts agree with me -- a cool-toned, lighter pink would be very welcome! I'll start buying it in multiples if you offer it, I promise. :)

Invisible is my Holy Grail Lip Balm
By Sue M.
I have been using this lip balm in the Invisible for many years. I love it. That it has both UVA & UVB protection is awesome. I am never without it. I am fortunate to have really nice natural lip colour, & this enhances my lips perfectly. I do love to use lipstick also, but if I am not wearing lipstick then I am wearing this. I may be addicted to it. I always keep a tube of it handy. If I am without, I am panicky. Really I can't be without it & live in fear it may be discontinued.
More non-shimmer shades, please!
By GRETCHEN h.
I have insanely sensitive, chronically chapped lips, and this is the best lipstick that I have ever owned. Most lipsticks seem to somehow make my lips feel drier and more irritated, but this one actually soothes and moisturizes, and leaves my lips softer and more comfortable than before. My only complaint is that there is only one shade that does not contain mica (very irritating to my sensitive lips). Nude Illusion is lovely, but it does get a bit boring wearing the same color every day!
Love See-Through Mauve
By Anonymous
I bought a sample of this lipstick in See-Through Mauve when it was on-sale and loved it more than I thought I would which typically happens when I buy any of Paula's Choice products. Just a note to buyer's, however: the picture of the color swatch did not match the true color of the product. Also, I would not say is not see-through or sheer rather a lighter wash of color. Anyone wanting a perfect fall lip color will love this!
Need more colors
By JEANNINE K.
As I've commented before, I would like to see a reddish-brown color. There was one, once upon a time. Bring that back or one like it, and I would be happier. I do love the wear of these lipsticks!
Some colors work and some don't...
By Stacey K.
I am blonde with medium skin tones. Nude Illusion was too orange for me, and Rosy Glow much too bright. See-Through Mauve was perfect.
Nude Illusion
By April L
Nude Illusion is my favorite color in your whole lipstick line you used to have. Thank you for not discontinuing it!!!!!Please tell me if you ever decide to do that(hope not!), so I can buy a lot
What happened?
By ERIN V.
I have loved this lipstick line for the past few years; in particular the Rosy Glow and In the Nude colors. Recently, however, when I reordered the Rosy Glow, the product that shipped was a distinctly lighter color than my previous tube (I compared). Now, the product comes off as too "bubblegum" on my complexion and I don't like to wear it. I think that if colors or formulations are going to be changed, the name of the color should change, too. I hesitate to reorder the other color.
Customer Service Response: Hi there! With any color product, there can be an acceptable level of variation from batch to batch. We suspect that's what you're noticing, and are happy to exchange this shade for another or provide a refund.
Please update the colors!
By Ann H.
These lipsticks are almost perfect. The texture is creamy & moisturizing. The shine is just right. They are easy to carry & apply. Most important, they have proper SPF. They aren't 5 stars due to the color selection. A few of them are okay, but most are too yellow or shimmery for my taste and complexion. I am fair with pink undertones. These would work better for women like me in non-shimmer shades like medium & deep pink, cherry red, berry, wine, & a softer mauve. Please consider new colors.
Best Balm out there!
By ALISA T.
I love this stuff in the 'invisible' shade! I've tried all the balms out there and this is the best. Hydrates my lips without making them sticky or tingly, includes SPF (less common than you think) and is great under lipsticks or glosses. I have about 6 tubes of this stuff all over my house and office and use it day and night.I've tried several of the colors, but haven't found one that works. I'll stick with this as a balm/under layer for other color.

Wonderful product, but no visible expiration date
By Lisa M.
I love this product! The lipstick is very pretty, it lasts a good amount of time, and has great ingredients! But what I love most about it is that it has reliable broad spectrum protection all in one lovely lipstick! :-) The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the product doesn't have the expiration date for spf printed anywhere on it. This is important to me to see on any product that I am using for sun protection purposes, so I hope PC will change this minor issue.
LOVE this lipstick
By Anna Mary W.
I have it in every color and it works well depending on the season or the outfit. I LOVE that it has SPF and is so smooth and creamy. It even lasts longer than other lipsticks I've tried. Cannot say enough great things about this. I must note that I am a fair skin lady so these colors might not really work for everyone...
Perfect Color-Nude Illusion
By Mary P.
Granted the staying power of this product isn't as long as some lipsticks, but it doesn't dry out my lips and cause them to fever like so many of the mattes do. I detect very little shimmer in the Nude Illusion color that other reviewers find outdated. Nude Illusion works wonderfully with my golden skin tone. Most lip colors turn orange or pink on me, this color stays true. Hoping Paula's Choice will ALWAYS carry this color and product.
More Colors And Less Shine Please
By Susan A
The only reason I didn't give this a 5 is I have very dry lips, and it would be nice if the product was a little more moisturizing. I want to echo the comments asking for more colors, especially pinks darker than Sherbet and lighter than Rosy Glow, a cool red, and a mauve lighter than See Through Mauve. And colors without shimmer, please. It makes the wrinkles in my 52 year old lips more obvious!
Sheer's finally back in stock--and in a new tube!
Sheer is back in stock! As it's the only SPF lip balm I've found that doesn't have a bitter aftertaste, I'm delighted. The case is new, too--the Sheer arrived in a slim round tube that feels as if it's metal. However, the Nude Illusion I ordered a couple of weeks ago came in the old squared plastic tube. In my experience the plastic caps frequently crack long before the lipstick needs to be re-ordered so I'm hoping the colors will move to metal as they are restocked.
By BARBARA I.
For years I used PC Lip & Body Treatment Balm and it was hands-down the BEST out there for long-lasting moisture, especially overnight. Unfortunately I developed an allergy to beeswax and had to stop using it. I tried other vegan lip balms but they were either too greasy or too waxy and never provided the same level of needed moisture. However, the invisible Sheer Cream Lipstick has filled this need nicely, and with SPF as an added bonus. Until the balm is beeswax-free, this is my go-to.
Perfect Nude
By mary p
My search is over for the perfect lipstick shade for me, having found In the Nude. I may need to reapply a little more often, but that's okay because my lips don't rebel by chapping or becoming fevered as with many matte lipsticks. Thank you Paula's Choice for a wonderful product. Please keep this shade in your lineup FOREVER.
Lighter PINKS please :)
By Marguerite L.
I love the fact that this shade, SHERBET, is lighter than the others, and has frost in it. But I wish it had less yellow and more pink. Rosy Glow is too dark for me. The other shades, too yellow. And the Invisible one is still not available yet. Shucks! How about a lighter pink, Paula? Lots of us cool toned gals in Canada! How about two or three shades of lighter pinks? :)
The applicator is trash.
By Victoria H.
The applicator is the cheapest, worst applicator I have ever handled in my entire lipstick career. It squeaks when I turn it like and old door.That being said, the lipstick is top notch and absolutely wonderful. It's creamy, lasts a good amount of time, and is layerable to deepen the color. It leaves my lips hydrated and the extra sun protection is a huge plus. I'm just afraid the tube is going to break before I can finish it.

Apply straight from the tube or use a lip brush for a more exact, precise application.
It is helpful to apply lipliner prior to lipstick to define and shape the mouth as well as to provide an "anchor" for the lip color to enhance its wear.

Key Features:
- Near Real time registration – a registration number is returned within seconds, eliminating the need for 'gap insurance'.
- Online, automated system – PPSA services are completed online, with no need to fax requests for follow-up or to carry a paper trail. Electronic records are maintained of all transactions by the user's unique reference number. Every transaction is date stamped and held in a chronological order and files can be retained or purged depending on your needs.
- Validation technology is incorporated into the portal that matches and accepts input data specific to what each registry will accept. Users are notified at entry if there are any errors, helping to eliminate user input errors.
- Purchase money security interest filings (PMSI) – complete consumer lease and commercial equipment financing statement filing and management services.
- Quebec registration integration – a complete library of Quebec forms and asset classification are maintained in an automated format for full Quebec registry automation.
- Inter-provincial lien management - advanced validation to alert secured party if debtor has moved collateral to another PPSA jurisdiction and ability to auto register in new province to maintain lien status.
How It Works
The Personal Property Security Act (PPSA) provides a comprehensive set of rules to govern the rights of creditors and debtors when personal property is used as collateral to secure the payment of a debt. Proper registration of collateral under PPSA is a critical step in the credit granting process.
'Perfection' is the process of certifying those security interests in a personal property registry (PPR), with online registration being the most common method. Since PPSA is not federally regulated, each province and territory has its own rules, regulations and personal property registry (PPR) system.
Equifax has partnered with AVS Systems Inc., a pioneer of automated PPSA solutions in Canada, to offer PPSA Connect. PPSA Connect provides a single interface to the disparate Canadian registries enabling online lien management services such as registrations, notifications, renewals and discharges. System-to-system connectivity allows for near real time response on individual submissions or batch processing.
Equifax is a trusted provider of consumer and commercial credit risk assessment and account management solutions. With PPSA Connect, Equifax provides a solution that bridges the adjudication and ongoing account management processes from a single solution provider.

From the Gund Arena in Cleveland, Ohio
Commentator: Josh Matthews & JBL
Championship's roll call: WWE Champion: CM Punk… World Champion: Big Show… Intercontinental Champion: Kofi Kingston… United States Champion: Antonio Cesaro… Tag Team Champions: Team Hell No… NXT Championship: Seth Rollins… Diva's Champion: Eve Torres
The hometown boy, The Miz, opens the show this week for a MizTV segment. The "Miz is awesome" chants begin. He's happy to be him and he welcomes us to MizTV; he's on Team Foley because of himself. He admits that it was obvious that he would have won since he's on the Survivor Series poster. Since he's accomplished more than any other WWE Superstar at Survivor Series, he's not going to "fall in line" with either captain, whether it be Dolph Ziggler, or his guest, Mick Foley. The hardcore legend makes his entrance. Foley is not mincing words tonight; he initially was apprehensive and gets his usual "cheap pop" in. He brings out his book Most Mizerable Christmas and ponders which Miz will show up at Survivor Series: the awesome one, who beat John Cena at WrestleMania, or the jobber movie star one. Really? Really? Really? Miz runs through the rest of Team Foley as uncooperative and cheapshot artists. Foley brings out Kofi Kingston, Team Hell No and Randy Orton, the rest of his team. Mick wants to let everyone air out their differences; Kane and Bryan get into a fight over who starts. Bryan wins and complains of Kane insinuating he is the weak link of the team. Kane thanks Miz for being a great tag partner on Monday and his back feels much better not having to carry any weak partners. Bryan says without him, he'd still be roaming basements and scaring little children; Kane retorts with he does that regardless. They get into an "I'm the tag team champions" fight until Kofi intervenes. Miz takes offense to Kingston playing peacekeeper and mentions the kick off the aborted handshake from last week. Kofi threatens to kick him again. Foley cuts in and talks to Orton about being the voice of reason. Didn't Randy kick Foley down the stairs once? Orton mentions their history (thumbtacks and spitting him his face) but he likes Foley the most of all his ring mates. Orton does not like any of his partners nor does he trust them. Team Ziggler, sans Cody Rhodes, come onto the stage. Dolph Ziggler, back to wearing pink, calls Team Foley the definition of dysfunction. The heels don't have egos they are united behind him, the charismatic leader. Alberto Del Rio is paying zero attention, instead talking to Riccardo Rodriguez, which upsets Dolph. ADR feels that he deserves to be the captain. He and Del Rio get into a debate over where this conversation should take place. Foley taunts him about team unity. Mick mentions that Booker T gave him some booking power tonight and makes Ziggler and ADR versus Miz and Orton. Dolph likes the match and is happy he quit his team because they have someone way better to replace him, Wade Barrett. Wade says that Dolph is making him blush and adds that they've replaced a quitter with a winner. Foley then books Barrett versus Kane. Wade looks okay with it but Bryan no's his way into the conversation. Damien Sandow finally has something to say; he rips Kane for injuring Rhodes. He then makes fun of Kingston so the match is booked, next… 6.5/10 I like this opening segment as it promotes the reason that Survivor Series exists; it also sets up mutiny on both teams. This match at the PPV should be a glorious trainwreck and they are booking it as such. The WWE has to be very careful with Miz, not to turn him into the generic smiling babyface, or worse yet, the annoying character he was when he first debuted as the SmackDown host. He needs to keep the huge ego just be less asshole, because fans can sniff out fake, this is John Cena's biggest problem.
Kofi Kingston vs. Damien Sandow: This match is like a throwback to some early nineties in terms of ring gear (neon yellow and hot pink) and is going to burn my retinas out. Sandow opens with a headlock takeover; Kingston frees himself but eats a shoulderblock. Sandow tries to run the ropes, which is never smart against Kofi; he gets a trio of leapfrogs and a jumping reverse elbow. Sandow of course runs away. Sandow returns and tries a boot but Kofi catches him with a pair of armdrags. Damien sneaks in a knee and takes over briefly before Kofi counters a hiplock into a monkey flip. Sandow regroups again on the floor. He overaggressively chases Sandow around the ring and gets caught reentering; the advantage does not last long as Kingston gets a nearfall off a dropkick. Kingston busts out some fancy legwork with a heel-hook kick and some additional soccer-style kicks. Damien tries to pitch Kofi to the floor but gets reversed; Kingston suicide dives out onto Sandow as we head to break. We return with Kingston still in control but a Sandow elbow in the corner cuts that off. Kingston continues to fight however but Sandow keeps him at bay with a flip-over neckbreaker for two. Damien locks in a chinlock and rubs Kofi's face in the mat. The Russian leg sweep sets up the Cubito Aequet follow; Kingston reverses a whip but telegraphs a backdrop, Sandow charges… right into a double chop and a comeback. Kofi with a pair of chops, dropkicks and Superman punch; the Boom Drop follows that and the end is near for Sandow. Sandow realizes the TIP is coming rolls away but gets caught in a springboard crossbody, for two. Sandow tries another rolling neckbreaker but gets backdropped. Sandow again heads into the ropes; Kofi goes for it again and gets caught again as Sandow kicks his leg out of his leg and schoolboys him with trunks to get the pinfall. 5/10 Brains beat athleticism here as Sandow just pinned the IC Champion; this technically should make him the next logical number one contender. Depending on Cody's injury, perhaps this will come to fruition much quicker than if Team Rhodes Scholars were healthy.
Here is your winner… Damien Sandow @ about 6:00 via schoolboy (with trunks) for pinfall.
In the parking lot of the arena Sheamus awaits the Big Show. After the break the WWE catches us all up to speed on the AJ Scandal.
Natalya, Layla & Kaitlyn vs. Eve Torres, Aksana & Alicia Fox: I guess we had another babyface/heel switch with Nattie and Alicia. Speaking of Natalya, she starts with Aksana; he kicks her and works the arm. Nattie uses the Owen rolling nip-up to counter and tag in Layla. She slaps Aksana's ass (giggity) and then she and Nattie hit a double clothesline. Layla with a Tush Push for two more; Alicia tags in and she whiplashes Layla onto the back of her head. She nails the Northern-Lights suplex for two. Eve tags and slams Layla and hits a rolling senton. Torres works over Layla with chokes and kicks as the commentators argue over the existence of aliens and the AJ Scandal. Fox tags back in and kicks away; she fumbles the ball and allows a tag to Kaitlyn. She runs in a house of fire with shoulderblocks and a flapjack. The match falls apart as Nattie and Aksana cancel each other out. Kaitlyn dropkicks Alicia into Eve and finishes her with a reverse DDT. 2/10 Usual stuff from the divas just that there were six of them this time, essentially the entire diva roster. The Kaitlyn push continues as she has the title shot at the PPV.
Here are your winners… Kaitlyn, Natalya & Layla @ about 3:10 via reverse DDT pinfall.
Sheamus is still in the back and is approached by GM Booker T. Book tells him that Sheamus is putting him in a bad position. He convinces him to leave the parking lot on one condition, that Show meets him in the ring later tonight. Booker tells him to stay in check tonight and threatens him if things get out of hand.
Randy Orton & The Miz vs. Dolph Ziggler & Alberto Del Rio (w/Ricardo Rodriguez): Ziggler and Miz start off and Dolph works the arm; he tosses Dolph off the ropes but gets tackled with a shoulderblock. Ziggler runs the ropes so Miz flapjacks him. Ziggler and Miz trade punches until Dolph pitches him to the floor. Del Rio knocks Orton off the apron leaving both babyfaces sprawled across the floor. Back from commercial, Ziggler has Orton in a chinlock. Randy begins a fight back but Ziggler cuts it off in the most en vogue way: a kneelift. Ziggler drops a few elbows and tags in ADR. Del Rio kicks in the corner; Orton fights back and stomps him in the opposite corner. The ref pushes him back so Del Rio takes advantage with a Backstabber armbreaker. Dolph returns and stamps him down and tries the arrogant cover which serves to fire Orton up; he hits a few uppercuts and a backdrop. Miz gets a rather nasty tag and runs in to pummel Dolph in the corner; the Awesome Clothesline connects for the hometown boy. He heads up top for a double axe handle, for two. Ziggler reverses a cross-corner whip but runs afoul of a big boot. Miz to the second rope but Del Rio slides down the apron and pushes him to the floor. Dolph puts him off the barricade and back in the ring Team Ziggler takes over on Miz. ADR tags and beats on Miz in a neutral corner; the ref pulls him back so Ziggler takes advantage and ADR hits the step-up enziguri, for two. ADR goes to the arm. Miz tries to fight back but ADR aggressively beats him up but charges and gets backdropped, over the post, to the floor. Orton gets the second hot tag of the evening and he hits a lot of clotheslines and a scoop powerslam; Dolph rushes in and takes one as well. He snags Del Rio in the Viper DDT and fires the crowd up… Miz blind tags himself in and steals the win with a Scull-Crushing Finale for the pinfall. Post-match, Orton nails Miz with an RKO. 6/10 Fun tag match as Miz pulled a Daniel Bryan much to the chagrin of Orton who got his revenge selling the "doesn't play well with others" character trait. It also paints a lot of possible dissention in both teams.
Here are your winners… Randy Orton and The Miz @ about 11:20 (broadcast) via Skull-Crushing Finale pinfall.
Sheamus comes out. He tells Big Show that he has gone too far, attacking him and William Regal. He was looking forward to the match at Survivor Series, but now he's pissed off and wants to fight now. Show answers and tell him nothing will happen tonight; he admits that he is scared… for Sheamus. Show tells Sheamus that he should thank him; Sheamus is about to attack him. Booker T comes out to protect his PPV main event. He ejects Sheamus from the building. 2/10 All that did was sell Sheamus' anger with Show, which could have been accomplished in a backstage promo, it also allows Booker to exercise his authority on a babyface, which is rare.
In the back Big Show tries to pal around with Booker T; Booker tells him that he's in the main event against a mystery opponent. Show asks a bit apprehensively if it is against Sheamus. Booker tells him that it's not against him and reminds him that no one is bigger than "the Show."
Kane vs. Wade Barrett: Wade kicks Show at the bell and immediately nails the Winds of Change. That was sudden. I like the fact that they are going with different color trunks with Barrett, too many wrestlers are wearing black again. Barrett gets his whip reversed and Kane boots him down and clotheslines him to the floor. Back in the ring, Kane hits the top-rope diving clothesline. All of a sudden all of Team Ziggler runs to the ring and attack Kane. He does pretty well for himself until Daniel Bryan comes to his partner's aid. Where is the rest of Team Foley? Barrett and Damien Sandow handle Bryan as Dolph Ziggler and Alberto Del Rio beat on Kane. Mick Foley appears on the stage beckoning the rest of the team. Kofi Kingston shows up and attacks Barrett; Randy Orton, with music, runs in to even the odds (since Cody Rhodes is injured). Sandow and Ziggler both take RKOs as Foley's team clears the ring. The Miz finally appears on the stage and gives mean looks to Orton. 3.5/10 Huge Survivor team brawl that usually ends the show, similar to the one before the Rumble; sells the semi-team unity of the babyfaces. They can handle the heel team if they stay on the same page… but can they?
Here is your winner… Kane @ about 1:00 via DQ.
A full Raw recap is shown.
Sin Cara vs. Antonio Cesaro: R-Truth and Little Jimmy join for commentary. Cesaro takes Cara out with a waistlock takedown. Cara comes back with a step-up-the-ropes 'rana. Cesaro catches him with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker and kicks him in the small of the back. Cesaro hits his delayed gutwrench suplex and a European uppercut to the BACK of the head. Antonio tries a hiplock but Cara bounces off the ropes into an armdrag. Cara then nails an extremely complicated tilt-a-whirl head scissors. The pendulum kick and a springboard Frankensteiner, for a nearfall; Cesaro comes back with the Very European Uppercut and Equalizer for the pinfall. Post-match, Truth quotes another Little Jimmy… "Hacksaw" Jimmy Duggan with a USA chant to annoy Cesaro. 3.5/10 Surprising squash for Cesaro; they are at least keeping the champions strong, at least some of them. The WWE sees a lot on Cara but the infamous botches in the ring may have sealed a little of his fate.
Here is your winner… Antonio Cesaro @ about 4:10 via Equalizer pinfall.
The Great Khali vs. Big Show: Khali is the mystery opponent thus guaranteeing this match will not eclipse a two. The last time these two fought Show kayoed Khali in about a minute. This week is Diwali but I'm sure Show doesn't care. Show opens with kicks and tries the Shush Chip in the corner but Khali reverses it and show sells it like a gunshot. Khali keeps the advantage for a while and even gets Show to one knee. He clubs Shoe down and head-butts him on his ass; Khali channels his inner heel, choking Show in the bottom rope; Show fights back and SPEARS Khali, for two. Show looks for a chokeslam but Khali breaks the grip and hits the Head Chop! Show kicks out at two. Khali is shocked. He signals for the Punjabi Plunge but Show cuts that off with a body blow and nails the WMD, knocking Khali out once again, and gets the pinfall. Post-match, Sheamus' music hits and freaks Show out. Show leaves and heads into his bus but Sheamus is waiting and attacks him. Show gets the better of him and launches him into the windshield of a parked car. Sheamus fights back and puts Show into another windshield of a different car. Booker T and a gaggle of WWE Officials pull the Irishman off. 1.5/10 Show knocked out Khali, which was the best part of the match, which is the entire score, the rest of the match was terrible.
Here is your winner… Big Show @ about 3:45 via WMD pinfall.
OVERALL 5.5/10 Not too bad; they promoted Survivor Series well and defiantly sold the anger in the World title match. The other big questions are will the traditional Survivor Series teams coexist?

By JASON BAILEYSun Advocate/Emery County Progress
While printers of all kinds are more common than ever, a large number of them are nit picky about what kind of computers they'll actually work with, which leaves many buyers with a device they simply can't use.
Today, virtually every computer supports the Universal Serial Bus (USB) port - designed to connect computers of any make or model to peripherals of all kinds - and thankfully, so do most printers. Some computers and printers even support the aged parallel (LPT) cables. That means it's unlikely that a printer and computer can't be connected via a physical cable or wire of some kind.
But that doesn't mean that a computer will actually "talk" to the printer. In order for the computer to properly communicate with the printer, it needs a piece of software called a driver that knows how to speak to, or interface with it.
Unfortunately, drivers are specific to the operating system they're meant for. This means that if the printer's manufacturer didn't create a driver for a specific operating system, like Microsoft Windows 7 or Apple Mac OS-X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), for example, the computer with that operating system will have no chance of inter-operating, or working with the printer.
As Windows is the most prevalent of all desktop operating systems, most printers come with a number of Windows drivers. The exception, when it comes to Windows anyway, is when new versions (like Windows 7, for example, which was released last month) are released after a given printer was already delivered to store shelves. Windows alternatives like Mac OS-X or Linux, however, are another story, and are frequently not supported by the manufacturer.
Why are Mac OS-X and Linux often ignored and left out in the cold by most printer makers? Because many printers are cheaply produced en masse, and the time involved to develop necessary software drivers for anything but Windows isn't cost effective for them, especially since Windows has more than 90 percent of the desktop market. They don't want to put that much effort into something made for such a select few.
So for people who want to make a sound investment in a printer that isn't going to have compatibility problems with operating systems other than Windows, making the right selection is really tough. But with a little knowledge, the selection process is made much easier.
Versatility is the key. The first thing to look for is multiple means of physical connectivity. A USB port is one of those means. So is Firewire (often called IEEE 1394) and Ethernet - a typical network connection that looks like an over-sized phone plug. This provides the printer with a myriad of ways to communicate with a myriad of computers. An Ethernet option is particularly useful if the intent is to share the printer between more than one computer.
Another thing to look out for is support for a universal print language, or print protocol, like Postscript (PS), which was developed by the Adobe Corporation, or Printer Control Language (PCL), which was developed by Hewlett-Packard Corp. This is probably the most important aspect of choosing a printer that will work with more than one operating system. Support for both languages is an even bigger asset to the printer.
Postscript and PCL are very well supported in most modern operating systems in existence today. A generic Postscript or PCL driver - one that actually comes with the operating system - can be used in the event that the manufacturer did not provide a driver, or if the manufacturer's driver does not function properly.
In some cases, a Postscript or PCL driver may not provide the computer with every single feature the printer may offer (like double-sided printing, for example), but it will always provide a minimum of basic printing functionality.
Bear in mind that a printer with these kinds of features is naturally going to cost more than one that does not. But such a purchase may be a very sound investment for some computer users, especially ones that lack Windows, or ones that are thinking about ditching Windows for an alternative.

That's not to say the British police hasn't been working on the case, as six people have been recently arrested under suspicion of "conspiracy to defraud the music industry," and more arrests seem likely. The individuals include five men aged between 19 and 33, and a 28-year-old woman, all of which are being accused of uploading pre-release music to the site and have been bailed without charge, pending further inquiries.
Apparently, those within the music industry consider leaking pre-release music a much more serious offense than sharing music that is already commercially available, even though there is no commercial gain for the user. Where all this will go is anyone's guess, but authorities and the music industry will likely want to make an example of both the website and its users.

Most Kansas-City homeowners have some small repairs and odd jobs around the house from time to time. These odd jobs can add up surprisingly fast. It can be quite expensive to hire a plumber for every leaky faucet or a carpenter for simple kitchen cabinet painting. These highly skilled craftsmen and contractors often dont have the time for small jobs, either. This is where the role of the Kansas-City handyman service comes into play.
Before a homeowner makes the move to call a professional handyman service, it is wise to do a walk-through of the home and make notes of any small jobs that need done. This could include repairing drywall, ceramic tile installation, small plumbing problems like leaky faucets and other small jobs. These are all things that a good Kansa-City handyman can take care of, and taking care of it all at once is best for all parties involved.
One a list has been made of all the odd jobs around the house, a homeowner should contact a few different Kansas-City handyman services who might be interested in doing small repairs around the home. It is a good idea to ask if the handyman has experience in the areas that need repairs, if they charge by the hour, if they have references, if they are licensed and when they are available.
People used to rely on a family handyman that wasnt licensed, but had long-established, trusting relationships with regular customers. This is usually not the case any more. Licensed companies are getting into the Kansas-City handyman business, which is good for customers. They may charge more than the old family handyman services these companies are very handy for small jobs, especially if you save up the tasks to take care of all at once.
Many homeowners have learned that neglected small repairs often become unavoidable large repairs or home maintenance emergencies. The best strategy is to be organized when it comes to home maintenance. Its a very good idea to keep an ongoing list of small repairs. When it becomes necessary to have a Kansas-City handyman come out, they can take care of several things at once.
The most effective way to handle repairs is to bundle many small jobs together. It is easier and cheaper to get a Kansas-City handyman out for two days worth of work than it is to get a handyman out several times for a couple hours of work per visit. There are also ways for homeowners to concentrate on reducing the amount of time it will take them to complete the job. If any specialized materials or parts are needed, it helps to have them on hand. Preparing the work area by clearing it in advance also helps the handyman, and will save money in the hourly rate.
Finding a good Kansas-City handyman is priceless. Homeowners that find a handyman service they can trust often turn to them for home maintenance and repairs for years to come. Its a very smart move to treat a good handyman very nicely, so they will be willing to come back again and again, and do all the repairs right the first time. Building strong relationships is always a good idea in life.

Hey Badger Fans!
This post is different from the usual recap of games or highlight of upcoming events, well somewhat. In celebration of the countdown to the 2014 Fill the Bowl game on Feb. 15 against Minnesota, this blog will highlight some of my favorite memories from my past Fill the Bowls as a Badger.
The first Fill the Bowl I participated in was on January 29, 2011 as a freshman. Adjusting to the college stage and playing in front of a few thousand fans is enough of an adjustment already, but to have the opportunity to play in front of 10,668 spectators was something I never even imagined. We were expecting about 5,000 fans, and to shatter that number was amazing. I remember walking out into the Kohl Center and seeing a packed student section, hearing the fans scream louder than ever before, and the ultimate highlight came of course when we defeated the Minnesota Golden Gophers. It is always fun to win when playing such a powerhouse opponent, but to win on home ice in front of such an amazing crowd was something I will never forget.
Just when I thought that experience was a once in a lifetime opportunity, I learned we were hosting another Fill the Bowl the following year. We hosted Bemidji State that weekend and had a close game the night before, stealing the win in overtime. Coming out on the ice for my second Fill the Bowl was a similar breath-taking experience, but it was even grander! 12,402 fans showed up for Fill the Bowl my sophomore year, and the crowd propelled us to a win yet again. Playing in front of that many fans is amazing, especially for a women's sport where we don't have too many experiences quite like that. The atmosphere and energy that starts pumping when you get all those people in the Kohl to cheer us on is pretty incredible! Not to mention I scored a goal that night, but it was called back after it was argued the puck went in after the goalie may or may not have taken off her own helmet. Nevertheless, the crowd still cheered until we learned it was called back.
So fans, my challenge to you is this: come out this year, February 15 and watch as No. 2 Wisconsin fights to knock off No. 1 Minnesota. Students get in free, and general admission tickets are only a dollar as we look to break our NCAA single game attendance record! This could be the biggest series of the season, and there is no place we would rather play than in front of our home crowd. For the senior class, we look to finish our final regular season off in the same building it all started with a win!
Get your tickets, bundle up, and make your way out to the Kohl Center for what is set to be the best Fill the Bowl yet!
Until next time, thanks for reading, and On Wisconsin!

Fort Pierce siblings involved in fight
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Two siblings were arrested Thursday following an altercation involving a knife and a piece of wood with nails sticking out of it, according to affidavits released Friday.
Larryton Theodore McNealy, 40, and his 36-year-old sister, Tishunda Latrece McNealy, each were arrested on a felony aggravated battery/person uses a deadly weapon charge in connection with the incidents at Larryton McNealy's listed address in the 200 block of Essex Drive in Fort Pierce.
Sheriff's deputies determined Tishunda McNealy, of the 1200 block of North 27th Street in Fort Pierce, threatened her brother with a kitchen knife during a verbal altercation.
Larryton McNealy went outside and got a 2 x 4 with nails protruding from an end. He is accused of swinging the roughly 3-foot long section of wood at his sister before their mother told him to put down the wood.
Larryton McNealy grabbed his sister around the throat and they fell on the floor in a fight. Larryton McNealy also bit her finger and "stomped" on her right side, hurting an area where she had a kidney removed.
According to an affidavit, Larryton McNealy got a cut on his index finger during the incident.

VBOX Hands-on-Lab image - build your own :-)
By Mike Dietrich-Oracle on Nov 30, 2014
Oh ... I know ... I promised to post all the details how I've build up our pretty straight forward Hands-On-Lab Roy, Carol, Cindy, Joe and I used at OOW and some other occasions to let you upgrade, migrate and consolidate databases to Oracle Database 12c and into Oracle Multitenant.
And well, some have emailed me already ... and I had this feeling that my schedule will be very tight after OOW. Even right now (Sunday evening) I'm already back at my second home, Lufthansa Senator Lounge at Munich Airport. Waiting for my flight to Rome in an hour or so. Honestly speaking I had really no time in the past weeks to sit down for 2 hours to write down all the steps to guide you through the rebuild. And I didn't want to throw just a few nuggets - my intention is always to get you detailed steps which really work and don't miss anything.
But I have very good news for all who are waiting for the HOL Image
Roy is working hard (and I'm confident that he'll succeed) to get the image published on OTN within the next weeks. So please stay tuned. Even with the Christmas holidays coming up I'm tied into a schedule to visit Rome, Torino, Milan, Brussels, assist some customers in their final go-live-phase for Oracle Database 12c - and I'm really looking forward to that vacation.
Stay tuned - and thanks again for your patience

which jacket is warmer?
The Thermawrap parka uses 80g/m2 (2.6 oz/yd2) polyester filament insulation and the Micro Puff uses 2.6 oz/yd2 polyester filament insulation. They should be about equal in warmth with .6" of loft.
The Micropuff in the field is quite the warmer of the 2 jackets. I've used both and own the micropuff.A BPL field test of lightweight synthetic insulated jackets came to the same conclusions. Not all synthetic insulation is created equal.See (if a premium member)---http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/2004_ultralight_synthetic_insulating_jackets_vests_review.html
Edited by kdesign on 11/07/2005 10:15:02 MST.
the thermawrap parka is very different in warmth compared to the jacket.the jacket uses 50g/m2 excelloftthe parka uses 80g/m2so the parka has a thicker loft and is the same as the micro puffinfo from mont bell on the parka:The heaviest and warmest of the Thermawrap jackets, the parka features a hood and more insulation to keep you warm in the worst conditions. Only slightly heavier than the basic jacket, but far warmer.
Edited by ryanf on 11/07/2005 10:51:17 MST.
If warmth is your only concern, then the micro-puff is your ticket.However, the MontBell scored higher in the useability dept according to BPL. Its more useable because it can be worn in a broader range of conditions, especially when combined with other layers. Also, according to BPL, the Thermawrap insulation is 1.8oz/yd where as the Micropuff is 2.6oz/yd.In the 1.8oz/yd group, it blew away its primaloft competetion in the areas of Loft to Weight Performance, value, and "average score" (except for the MEC which threw the curve with its $60 price point)Edit: didnt see that the original post was compairing the Montbell PARKA.If your compairing the Micropuff Jacket, with the MontBell parka (both hooded with equal loft) Id give the nod to the MontBell. Given its performance of the lighter jacket in the BPL review, and given that it weighs almost 8 oz lighter than the MicroPuff jacket. The MontBell also costs less.
Edited by RavenUL on 11/07/2005 11:02:21 MST.
The half-zip of the pullover would trap more air in than the Thermawrap Parka, although the Parka has a hood which is nice. I chose the Micropuff over it and found it to be very warm and great against wind. It is also lighter than what Patagonia says. My scale says more like eleven ounces not 12.5 so you would save some weight over the Montbell. The MP jacket is a lot heavier, though.
Edited by gungadin on 11/07/2005 11:05:01 MST.
my bad on mistaking parka for jacket--- what becomes of a quick skim.I have not used the new Montbell Parka --- but on a g. for g. basis--I believe that Polarguard Delta is more efficient than Exoloft ( excelloft ?). I believe that in part this is due to the need for less stabilization of the Delta insulation compared to Montbell's or others out there in use.
Edited by kdesign on 11/07/2005 11:36:28 MST.
Quote: I believe that in part this is due to the need for less stabilization of the Delta insulation......Dunno how you can say that, given that the Micropuff jacket is *heavily* quilted (it looks like the Michelin Man under the outer "floating" shell.
Quilting is not used in the BMW Cocoon Pullover( which I also have). The Patagonia's quilting, I think is a case of overkill. Still amazingly warm for it's 11.25 oz.(L) weight, regardless.Perhaps Delta is more efficient due to the nature of the fiber architecture, instead.And yes, getting back to the original poster--- the Montbell Parka is probably the warmer of the two by dint of the hood, alone.
Edited by kdesign on 11/07/2005 16:27:51 MST.
Im not sure that Delta IS more effecient. Ive felt far warmer in my excelloft bag vs any polarguard bag of similar insulation weight.The Micropuff jacket has a hood as well, and weighs 20.5oz.
Joe-- jackets and parkas and pullovers have been bandied about on this thread, in a careless manner ( including by me)---you are right about the micropuff parka weight and hood, I was referring to my micropuff pullover. On the balance, I would say advantage Patagonia when it comes to comparing the jacket vs. Montbell's parka in the catagory of warmth.It would be interesting to compare, side by side, a Montbell exceloft bag w/ an equivalent polarguard delta bag-- perhaps by cut and total weight rather than by temp. rating. Sounds like a future BPL project. I suspect, that in the sleeping bag dept. that Delta has not been taken advantage above in terms of design as Montbell has with it's proprietary fill. I look forward to BMW's upcoming delta bags to rectify this somewhat.
Edited by kdesign on 11/07/2005 19:01:23 MST.

Edited by ryanf on 11/07/2005 19:45:52 MST.
Ryan,Just because a synthetic fiber fill is the same weight per ounce doesn't mean it is as warm, rebound from compression as well, be as warm when wet, have the same life expectancy, etc. Until we have tests we will not know if the Montbell Thermawrap Excel loft fill jacket is as warm as the Patagonia Polarguard Delt Micro Puff Jacket. No question however which product is lighter. Also with the new outer fabric of the Patagonia Jacket it is supposed to be tougher than last years model.Rich
I never said if one was warmer or not, I was just comparing similarities and differences of the two jacketsbut on the mont bell website it says thet exceloft will only reatin 1% of its weight in water.makes decisions like these harder
Ryan,The small amount of water absorbed by Primaloft is part of the argument for this insulation and why the Armed Services uses it. However, according to the tests by BPL last year they indicated that though Polarguard Delta did in fact absorb more water than Primaloft, Polarguard Delta appeared to maintain more warmth than Primaloft. I am not sure if BPL could make that comment last year due to the light insulation weight of the Excel Loft used in the Montbell products.Rich
Edited by naturephoto1 on 11/07/2005 20:11:00 MST.
I am no expert on this kind of stuff, both polarguard delta and exceloft have their advantages, but me personally would go with the mont bell for the weight and money savings and just be careful not to get it wet (witch I would do any way.)
Edited by ryanf on 11/07/2005 20:26:48 MST.
Actually, what I would be FAR ,ore interested in were a long term BPL study that compaired insulations by weight.Ill grant that PGDelta might be warmer new from the factory, but my research of raw insulation puts its long term durability in serious question.

Ex-Detroit mayor guilty, to await sentence in prison
DETROIT — A jury concluded on Monday that former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick ran a criminal enterprise — complete with extortion, bribes and kickbacks — while he was the mayor of Michigan's largest city, and a federal judge ordered him to be put behind bars immediately.
The panel convicted him and contractor friend Bobby Ferguson of running a racket out of the mayor's office for years to enrich themselves, and the judge said they both will be detained while awaiting sentencing. In some cases, longtime friends testified they handed cash to Kilpatrick in envelopes.
Kilpatrick was convicted on 24 of 30 counts, including five counts of extortion, racketeering, bribery and several mail, wire and tax fraud charges during a five-month trial in which he was portrayed as an unscrupulous politician who took bribes, rigged contracts and lived far beyond his means.
The convictions ensure a return to prison long term for a Democrat once among the nation's youngest big-city leaders until he resigned in fall 2008. Each defendant could spend up to 20 years in prison.
The ex-mayor's father, Bernard Kilpatrick, was convicted on one count of filing a false tax return, but jurors acquitted him attempted extortion and another tax charge and deadlocked a racketeering charge. He will remain free on bond.
U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds said the jury reached unanimous agreement on Friday on 40 of the 45 counts but wanted a chance to reflect further during the weekend.
Witnesses told of Kwame Kilpatrick's lavish lifestyle — luxury vacations, custom suits and golf outings — despite being at the helm of a city so broke it was on the verge of a state-appointed manager to right its finances. Internal Revenue Service agents said Kwame Kilpatrick spent $840,000 beyond his mayoral salary.
The verdict is another defeat for the man who left office in 2008 amid an unrelated scandal involving sexually explicit text messages and an affair with an aide.

Epic Games has staked a claim on all of your money, unveiling the publisher's official online store, packed full of stuff to do with Gears of War, Infinity Blade and even Jazz Jackrabbit. If you act fast, expedited shipping means you might just get your new gear before Christmas!
Kendall Boyd, Epic's director of marketing, worldwide studios explains:
We're excited to launch Epic's official store and provide our loyal fans apparel and merchandise that they can't find anywhere else. Our hope is to grow our brand via channels such as the Epic Store and celebrate all of our terrific intellectual properties with the community.
"Notable mentions" tucked away in the Epic Games Store include this snazzy Gears of War schematic poster, this impressive Jazz Jackrabbit tee, this Anniversary mug (coming soon), and - arguably my favourite - an Unreal Tournament Ultrakill shirt.
At the moment, the store (EpicGamesStore.com/) is mostly full of t-shirts (in sizes up to 4XL), with an assortment of exclusive designs that cannot be bought elsewhere. There are plans to increase the catalogue in the not-so-distant future to include more merchandise and other collectable items, so keep your eyes peeled.
I like video games and music and cups of tea and noodles and beagles and colour-cycling LEDs.

This hostel was incredible. I stayed here for three nights. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The beds, bathrooms, and showers were very clean. The other travelers were some of the greatest characters I have ever met traveling. Was a little more expensive than other hostels but totally worth the few extra Rais for the location and friendly staff. Also, breakfast each morning was delicious. Would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a place to stay in Rio.

Heute haben wir kurz vor Karnevalsbeginn die christus statue besichtigt.
Es wurde zu einer sehr heisen wanderung bei 38 grad. 3 liter wasser haben gerade so gereicht.
Auf dem heimweg wurden wir von einem der zahlreichen blocos empfangen.
Der karneval kann beginnen.
... great graffiti paintings. Went out to Copacabana yest, which is a bit seedier than what I imagined it would be, the beach is beautiful, and huge!, like 4.5km long. But yo~�re constantly being hassled by guys selling everything from beach balls, buckets, towels, every kind of beach wear imaginable, as well as lots of different kinds of food and drink (they even sell shrimp), and even paintings. Its a horrible job, walking up and down that beach all day in 35c heat! Went down ...Rio de Janeiro, Brazil jpdutchman

Yesterday, Russian President Vladimir Putin offered Ukraine a massive financial lifeline, agreeing to buy $15 billion of Ukrainian bonds and lower natural gas costs. Zbigniew Brzezinski, former National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter, discusses what this means for the Ukraine and Russia's role in the region. Brzezinski is currently a professor at John Hopkins University and a fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
After days of anti-government protests in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that his country would come to the aid of its neighbor to the tune of $15 billion. But the news of the deal was not enough to send protesters home.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Census Bureau released the latest data on median household income across the country, we've created an interactive map that allows you to zoom in on the income trends in your neighborhood, block by block.
Last night's Mega Millions lottery prize hit $636 million. Imagine that you won hundreds of millions of dollars. What would you do with that money? One study shows that many people who win between $50,000 and $150,000 end up going bankrupt. So is coming into so much money so fast a blessing—or a curse in disguise? Susan Bradley, executive director of the Sudden Money Institute, explains the biggest downfalls winners experience.
This week a federal judge ruled the National Security Agency's surveillance programs were unconstitutional. What are the odds that a challenge to the NSA's data collection intelligence program will reach the Supreme Court? Pretty good, but how will it get there and when? Adam Liptak, Supreme Court correspondent for our partner The New York Times, joins The Takeaway to explain.
There are all too many endangered species in the wild and precious little money devoted to conservation. So if you had to choose, how would you do it? Not surprisingly, it turns out that animals deemed cute yield bigger donations. This week, NationalGeographic.com is exploring our ideas of conservation in a series called "Last of the Last." Christine Dell'Amore, news editor for NationalGeographic.com, discusses how we choose which animals to save.
Scientists say that more than 20,000 plants and animals are on the brink of disappearing forever. How do we decide which species to save? Christine Dell'Amore, News Editor for NationalGeographic.com, will help us answer that question tomorrow. In the meantime, The Takeaway has a challenge for you. Here you'll find three photos of three very different creatures—a giant panda, a grey-faced elephant shrew and an American burying beetle. If you could only save just one, which would you pick? Vote in our poll.
Brian Cox, a leading British physicist and science broadcaster on the BBC, says scientists need to realize that if they don't step up like Galileo to argue against distortion and myth they will lose the war for truth—even if they win the battle of being correct. "We're trying to understand the natural world and the world that is out there—that has nothing to do with whether you're a Democrat or a Republican," he says. Professor Cox joins The Takeaway to explain why it is so important to make science apolitical.
