Far Cry 3 is an open world action-adventure first-person shooter video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal in conjunction with Ubisoft Massive, Red Storm Entertainment, Ubisoft Shanghai, and Ubisoft Reflections, published by Ubisoft for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.[2][3] The game was released on November 29, 2012 in Australia,[4] November 30 in Europe,[5] and December 4 in North America.[6] A stand-alone expansion titled Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon was released on April 30, 2013.
Far Cry 3 is set on a tropical island between the Indian and Pacific Oceans.[7] After a vacation goes awry, protagonist Jason Brody must save his friends, who have been kidnapped by pirates and escape from the island and its unhinged inhabitants.
The third installment in the Far Cry series, Far Cry 3 was critically acclaimed upon release, with reviewers praising its world design, open-ended gameplay and story, while the game's multiplayer mode was criticized. Following the game's success, Ubisoft announced a successor, Far Cry 4.
Far Cry 3 is a first-person shooter, which also features role-playing game elements including experience points, skill trees, and a crafting system. The player has the ability to take cover behind objects to break enemies' lines of sight and to peek around and over cover and blindfire. The player has the ability to perform silent takedowns by performing melee attacks from above, below, or close behind. The game's narrative director, Jason Vandenberghe, said that the story mode map is around ten times larger than the game's previous installments. Players are given the ability to survey and plan out their attacks with stealth takedown combinations and tag enemies with the camera in order to track their movement once they break the player's line of sight.[8]
Equipment is controlled by a simple system. As missions are completed, new items are unlocked to be purchased or crafted by Jason, using the pelts of various animals found around the island to improve items, weapons, and ammunition carrying capabilities. When scramblers on radio towers are removed, areas of the map are opened and weapons in the shop are first made available for purchase, and ultimately made available for free. Apart from the basic models of each category which can be picked up from slain enemies or at the start of several missions, most weapons can be upgraded with one or more additions; silencers, larger magazines, better sights are the most common improvements. A special group of weapons (one per category and unlocked depending on achievements) possess "maxed-out" statistics in their respective categories and/or unique abilities. All weapons are based on existing ones, using most or all of their official designation, and each come with a description of their main advantages and inconveniences. Weapon comparison can be evaluated across 5 statistics : accuracy, damage (per round of ammunition), range, rate of fire, and mobility (the better the mobility, the faster the character can move while firing). Apart from guns, the player will also have access to a few unique items or tools. Ammunition for each weapon category can be picked up, or, in the case of arrows, retrieved after use. Reloading and magazine swap speeds vary from weapon to weapon. Reloading takes place automatically when the weapon runs empty, or can be triggered manually. For the bow, arrow nocking and pulling takes time before shooting, and conditions the arrow's arch, precision and power : the longer, the better. Area effect arrows can eventually be crafted.
As outposts of Vaas' pirate group are attacked and retaken, the vicinity around the outpost becomes safer, it unlocks new side quests for that area, involving missions like hunting the many different wildlife species on the island to upgrade ones equipment.[9]
Skills are collected by gaining experience from completing missions and killing enemies, and are unlocked in three skill trees, which correspond to the Spider, the Heron, and the Shark. Each skill tree upgrades different aspects of Jason's abilities, with the Spider upgrading his stealth takedowns and hunting skills, Shark for assault takedowns and health, with the Heron upgrading his long-range takedowns and mobility. As skills are collected, the tattoo on Jason's forearm grows which is made up of several different tribal designs resembling the three animal skill trees.
Wealthy American Jason Brody, accompanied by his older and younger brothers Grant and Riley, his girlfriend Liza, and their friends Daisy, Keith, and Oliver, go on vacation in Bangkok to celebrate Riley getting his pilot's license. While skydiving, they land on an archipelago known as Rook Island, controlled by pirates led by a lunatic named Vaas Montenegro. After being captured, Grant and Jason are held and taunted by Vaas while the others are taken to be held for ransom. Grant engineers their escape but is killed by Vaas; distraught, Jason manages to scramble away.[10] He is met by Dennis Rogers, an inhabitant of the island working with the Rakyat tribe to seize control back from the pirates. Dennis sees the potential in Jason to follow the Rakyat "path of the warrior" in rescuing his friends, and gives him a magical "tatau" that gives Jason the strength and knowledge to defeat the pirates, and which grows and spreads across his arm as he fights the pirates and grows stronger.
With Dennis's help, Jason locates Daisy at the house of Dr. Earnhardt, who treats her injuries from escaping and agrees to shelter Jason's other friends from Vaas. Jason rescues Liza and brings her to Earnhardt's, where they both find Daisy within a cave located underneath Earnhardt's house, who is working to repair an old boat in order to escape the island. Jason tells Dennis he is not strong enough to defeat Vaas, and is introduced to Citra, the leader of the Rakyat and Vaas' sister. Citra tells Jason she will offer her help if he can retrieve a ceremonial knife revered by the Rakyat. Jason experiences a drug-induced vision given to him by Citra that identifies Willis Huntley, an eccentric man claiming to be a CIA agent operating on the island. Willis brings Jason information on both his missing friends. Willis has been monitoring Hoyt Volker, a deranged South African slave trader, who Vaas works for, selling those he captures into human slavery even after the ransoms have been paid, as well as engaging in drug trafficking. With Willis' help, Jason rescues Oliver before he can be sent to the slavers. Willis informs Jason that Keith has already been sold to Bambi "Buck" Hughes, who offers to give Keith back to Jason in exchange for finding a special knife. Jason eventually finds the knife after searching a series of ancient Chinese temples located on the island, but when Buck attempts to renege on the deal, Jason kills him with it. Jason brings Keith back to Dr. Earnhardt's, where Keith reveals that he saw Riley shot and killed. The others try to convince Jason to leave with them, but Jason, now set on a path of retribution, vows revenge on Vaas and Hoyt.
Jason brings the knife to Citra, and he is revered as a hero of the Rakyat. With her help, Jason infiltrates Vaas' compound and kills him. Willis, who has been given orders to leave the island, provides Jason with transport to Hoyt's island and information on Sam Becker, another CIA operative that has gained the trust of Hoyt and is working deep undercover in Hoyt's army of privateers. Sam helps Jason to similarly gain Hoyt's trust by identifying and subduing a group of renegade privateers who plan to assassinate Hoyt. Hoyt offers Jason the ability to interrogate a prisoner which turns out to be Riley. Jason, with Sam's help, is able to discretely reveal himself while still feigning his support for Hoyt by beating up Riley to get his name. Hoyt is pleased with the results, and offers Jason and Sam the opportunity to come to a private poker game. Jason and Sam arrange to kill Hoyt and rescue Riley at the game, but first work to make sure that Hoyt's men cannot respond quickly enough by destroying their fuel depot and communication network. At the game, Hoyt suddenly kills Sam and slices off one of Jason's fingers, having figured out the deception, but Jason is able to kill Hoyt during a knife fight. Hoyt's last words revealed that Riley is about to be flown off the island to Yemen, so Jason races to stop this. He frees Riley, and Riley takes control of one of Hoyt's helicopters to make their escape.
They return to Dr. Earnhardt's, finding the building aflame and Dr. Earnhardt dying after an attack by the Rakyat, who took their friends. They fly to Citra's temple, where Citra drugs Jason and forces him into making a choice to either "complete the path of the warrior" by murdering his friends and allowing Citra to be his mate, or to let them go and abandon Citra to return to the life he came from.
The player's decision affects the game's outcome. If the player chooses to complete the path, Jason kills his friends to Citra's praise, and then he and Citra have sexual intercourse; after this, Citra then stabs Jason, and as he dies, she tells him that he dies like a warrior, assuring him that his child, which she now assumes she carries, will become the new Rakyat leader.
If the player chooses to save his friends, Jason rejects Citra and throws down the knife, done with violence. Dennis, who was quietly in love with Citra, becomes outraged that Jason refused to accept Citra's love, and rushes to stab him, but Citra moves in the way and takes the blade herself. As Jason and his friends leave the temple unopposed, Dennis breaks down in remorse at having killed Citra. The friends are then seen leaving the island on the boat, with a voiceover by Jason suspecting that it will be impossible to fully recover from his ordeal, but holding out hope that there is still good in him, and that he can nurture it to come back.[11]
In August 2010, PC Gamer reported that development of Far Cry 3 was in "full swing" at Ubisoft Montreal.[12] In the same month, Game and Swedish retailer Webhallen listed the game for a 2010 release, which did not happen.[13] In January 2011, Ubisoft declined to comment on speculation that Far Cry 3 would be hitting shelves in October after Game Informer listed the game as an October arrival in its 2011 preview feature.[14]
In February, the Official PlayStation Magazine suggested that the game was due for release at the end of 2011 as the following quote suggested, "Start taking the malaria medicine in preparation: Far Cry 3 could be arriving before the end of the year."[15] This statement was withdrawn in next month's edition where it was stated that the game would be shown on 2011's E3 and that the release date would be bumped back to 2012.[full citation needed] In May, the CVs of a couple of stuntmen listed Far Cry 3 as one of their previous projects.[16]
Far Cry 3 features a sandbox editor.[17] Furthermore, after confirmations of PC split screen on the Far Cry 3 official site as well as content delivery service Steam, the feature was dropped days before release.[18]
The game's writer Jeffrey Yohalem claimed that the intention of the game's plot was to make a statement about "what shooting means and what it does to humanity". The game's protagonist Jason Brody is not a trained soldier, but rather an everyman who is forced to become a killer over the course of the game. Yohalem claims that as a result the game examines "what happens when that guy is put into a situation where he has to survive minute by minute and save his friends? Will he pick up a gun and how does that affect him? [...] This is a story about a normal guy who picks up a gun and that can't end well".[19] Producer Dan Hay emphasized that the emotional "turns" in the characters were a major theme in the game, stating that "that was the emotional thing we wanted and when we first saw it, it was with Vaas." Hay further commented that the game merged the systemic feel and emotional feel from the previous two Far Cry games in order to take the game in a "very, very surprising direction."[2]
Marketing and release[edit]
Players who pre-ordered Far Cry 3 received The Lost Expeditions Edition of the game. It contains two exclusive missions not available in the regular version. These missions, "The Forgotten Experiment" and "Ignition in the Deep", offer 40 minutes of additional playtime, plus a Type 10 Japanese World War II flare gun for use in the game's multiplayer modes.[20] Players in America who pre-ordered Far Cry 3 from GameStop received The Monkey Business bonus pack. It includes four more missions "hosted by Hurk and his bomb-carrying monkeys", and "two bonus ways to humiliate your friends" in multiplayer.[21] The Insane Edition of the game includes all pre-order bonuses and all other forms of launch DLC, along with a Vaas bobblehead and a manual teaching survival skills for usage in real situations of danger.
Ubisoft commissioned Michael Lambert, a Minecraft enthusiast, and artists Axel Janssen and Yohann Delcourt to create a custom map and texture pack mimicking Far Cry 3's setting and characters within the popular indie game Minecraft. The Far Cry 3 Minecraft texture pack, was released, along with a Far Cry 3 Minecraft custom adventure map, on October 26, 2012 on the official Far Cry 3 website.[22]
Ubisoft released the free exclusive DLC High Tides for the PlayStation 3 version of Far Cry 3.[23] The DLC was later released for PC on February 1, 2013 as a free Uplay reward.
The game's soundtrack was composed by Brian Tyler[24] and was released digitally on December 4, 2012.[25] The game also features some licensed music.[26]

Critical reception[edit]
Far Cry 3 received widespread critical acclaim. Aggregating review websites GameRankings and Metacritic gave the PlayStation 3 version 89.18% and 90/100,[27][31] the Xbox 360 version 89.14% and 90/100[28][30] and the PC version 88.12% and 88/100.[29][32]
The game was highly praised by Eurogamer, who awarded it a 10/10, claiming that "Far Cry 3 is all the best things about open-world gaming".[36] Edge also added to the praise, calling the game "wild, reactive and unpredictable", giving Far Cry 3 an 8/10.[35] G4TV gave the game a 5/5, praising the game's open world, long and satisfying campaign missions, solid gunplay with a variety of weapons to unlock and customize, and a compelling story.[37] Game Informer gave the game a score of 9.0/10, praising the game's story, characters, open world exploration, and gameplay.[39] GameTrailers gave the game an 8.6/10, criticizing the repetitive feel of the island, but praising the story, characters and its likeness to Assassin's Creed.[42] IGN gave the game a 9.0/10, praising the game's excellent cast of characters, unpredictable enemy encounters, and its open world environment.[43]
Parts of the story were not universally praised; some commentators felt the story was unrealistic, the player and his companions unlikeable, and the inconsistency of the plot's tone awkward.[47][48]
Far Cry 3 was a commercial success. It had sold about 4.5 million units as of February 2013,[49] and more than 6 million copies as of May 2013.[50] On October 30, 2014, Ubisoft revealed that Far Cry 3 had shipped 10 million units.[51]

In June 2013, in light of the acclaim garnered by Far Cry 3, Ubisoft promised they had plans for a Far Cry 4. Ubisoft said it would most likely be an open world game, which they believe is the future of gaming.[67] In March 2014, Eurogamer published an article stating that Far Cry 4 will be set in the Himalayas and will have "ridable elephants." Also stated was the game's release will be in the "first half of 2015."[68] On May 15, 2014, Far Cry 4 was officially confirmed by a Ubisoft financial report and was released for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC on November 18, 2014 in North America and November 20 in Europe.[69]

Would You Pay Thousands for a Unique Baby Name?
What's in a name? A unique identity worth $31,000? Probably not. But Marc Hauser is trying to convince you otherwise. Hauser is the CEO of Erfolgswelle, a Swiss firm that generates unique baby names.

My flag of Antarctica is a pretty good example of how their flag should look like. In the center of the flag I made was Antarctica. I chose to put that there so when people look at it they know what Antarctica looks like. I chose to put glitter in it to represent the amazing ice. I put a penguin in the upper left corner to show they had penguins. I put another penguin in the middle right hand spot to show they also had different types of penguins. I also put a seal in the lower left hand corner to show they also had seals. I left the back round white to show snow. That's but not least I put Antarctica in the lower right hand, to show that if you hadn't already known it was Antarctica.

a doodle
May I colour this?
I love your drawing style
Might sound a bit silly, but did you draw the upside down face upside down, or did you rotate the image? I find it almost impossible to draw faces upside down, even simple ones... It just ends up completely disproportionate, even if I try to use guides, when I turn it the right way up.
lol, yeah, I know what you mean. Drawing upside down is like trying to draw with your left hand; no matter what your brain is saying, it just ends up looking wonky. I rotated the canvas, there's a really simple way in photoshop - just hold the "R" key and it swivels!
If this is a doodle, then I want to see something you spent an hour on haha

That it had established itself in a life-form that casually ingested deadly poisons was no excuse.
Almost any other life-form could compete with them, any higher life-form.
The life-form was indeed a virus, unimaginably ancient, and intelligent throughout millions of years of its history.
"Naturally the ultimate incarnation for a life-form would be humanoid," Harkaway said with deep reproach.
If the life-form is returned to him before he awakes, he will be unaware that anything unusual has happened.
When you attack them, they merely say 'The life-form of Earth is sending out controlled machines.
In this respect, the reproduction of human beings is the same as that of any other life-form.
Minutes later a life-form investigator came with a small cage, which held a guinea pig.
A Decree, stating that any life-form that surrendered itself to the dictates of a machine was doomed.

Before Hurricane Sandy, Margaret Aune had a view from her small house in Misquamicut of a 30-foot-high dune across the street, a wall of sand between her and the ocean.
After Sandy, Aune had a sweeping new view of the water.
The sand dune that once blocked her view is more than half gone, some of it swept up Aune's driveway and into her basement. There was so much sand in her yard, it cost more than $5,000 to have it trucked away.
Indeed, after Sandy there was sand all over this beachfront community in Westerly, in places where it isn't supposed to be, including several feet of it across the main road through town.
This week, all that sand was being collected, stored, processed and cleaned at the big parking lots of the state beach, in preparation to possibly put it back where it came from.
The rest of Misquamicut, which took about the biggest Sandy hit of any shoreline community in southern Rhode Island and eastern Connecticut, is in transition back to normal.
Some of the buildings that floated off their pilings and down the street have been moved out of the way. There is a high and long pile of debris - a wall, really - along every road: old furniture, appliances, soggy mattresses and splintered lumber.
Volunteers are working side by side with homeowners at the cleanup. Contractor trucks are everywhere.
So many rubberneckers cruise through town these days, storm damage tourists, it's almost looks like a Sunday in July.
A town-endorsed ecumenical service to "Bless our Beach" is being planned for noon Nov. 24 at the St. Clare Church Parish Hall, when all the church bells in town will ring.
Businesses have been working to put out the word that, no matter what people have heard, Misquamicut is still in place and will open on schedule for another summer season, when hopefully the only sand you see will be on the beach.
Aune told me that people suggest she must be happy that she suddenly has a clear view of the ocean.
"Everyone says it must be great," she said. "Well, it's not really. The water is too close."
Aune, who lives most of the year in Westchester County in New York, is considering selling the house she has owned since 1998 and moving farther away from the water.
It seems like evacuation orders and storm damage are becoming too common, said Aune, who added that the arrival of a second storm last week, on the heels of Sandy, was "creepy." Last year it was Irene.
A new water view might be the silver lining in the cloud of more storms on the horizon. But Aune is not taking any solace in it.
"The weather patterns have changed," she told me, after showing off the water mark in her basement that demonstrates how high the water rose, close to the ceiling. "We are going to have more of this."
I think she may be right.
This is the opinion of David Collins.

Researchers Develop 3D Printed Scaffolds to Cure Type 1 Diabetes
Researchers at the University of Twente in the Netherlands have successfully built 3d printed scaffolds to increase the success rate of an experimental method used to help Type 1 diabetes patients. Around five percent of diabetes patients suffer from Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes which are often diagnosed in children and young adults. During a type 1 diabetes, the body is incapable of producing insulin, a hormone used to convert starches, sugar and other substances. One … [Read more...]
Surgeon Successfully Treats a Deformed Leg with 3D Printing Technology
Dr. Tang Juyu from Xiangya Hospital has employed 3D scanning and printing methods to create a full replica of a young woman named Xiaoqian's right tibia (the larger and stronger of the two bones in the leg below the knee in vertebrates), which was damaged in a serious car accident when she was 7 years old. The accident caused Xiaoqian's right tibia to grow with a noticeable unnatural bend, resulting her right leg to be significantly small than the left. The unnatural bending of her right … [Read more...]
A 74 year Old Man Receives a 3D Printed Silicone Mask to Recover His Face
Since 1990, Keith Londsdale, a 74 year old man had received over 45 different surgical procedures to survive through basal cell carcinoma, one of the most common skin cancer in the United States. The man did manage to fight through the devastating medical condition but was left with an incurable scar. Due to the continuous surgical procedures, the man's face was left without a nose, an upper jaw bone and cheekbones. Instead, a huge hole covered a substantially big section of his … [Read more...]

|1. That the intelligence of the whole assembly may be improved for the
general good.+
There is as good a chance for obtaining the best advice from one party as from the other. To limit the fight of proposing, is to renounce everything which might be expected from those who are excluded: it is to institute a monopoly mischievous in every respect, both because it extinguishes the emulation of those whom it reduces to merely a negative part, and because it may retain the greatest talents in a state of inaction. The most intelligent and clever+ men may, under this exclusive system, be enchained by those who are greatly their inferiors in genius and knowledge.
|2. That abuses may [be] reformed. If the right of proposing belong only to the administration, those abuses which are favourable to it would+ be perpetual: the assembly would have no direct method of causing them to cease. This arrangement would give to the government a most commodious species of negative as against all measures which were unpleasant to it--a negative without noise and without debate.a

Tara VanDerveer 'giddy' about Stanford
"Life doesn't get much better than what I have right now," Cardinal coach says
Originally Published: November 10, 2010By Mechelle Voepel | ESPN.com
Matt Groening of "Simpsons" fame once did a cartoon about two of his whimsical characters entitled, "The 77 Moods of Akbar and Jeff."
The joke being that regardless of the descriptive adjective of their expressions -- serene, woeful, perky, mirthless, etc. -- the drawing of the identical little dudes in fezzes looked exactly the same.
Except the last mood: surprised. In that, Akbar's (or was it Jeff?) fez jumped off his head.
Now, admittedly, Stanford ...

"Full of power, vigour, and inimitable description. We must, for our own part, confess that 'Poor Miss Finch' has interested us more than any of the author's previous works. We have enjoyed reading it so heartily that we can say nothing more beyond advising our readers to go and do likewise."--Vanity Fair
arks of any sort. All round us, turn which way we might, nothing was to be seen but the majestic solitude of the hills. No living creatures appeared but the white dots of sheep scattered over the soft green distance, and the skylark singing his hymn of happiness, a speck above my head. Truly a wonderful place! Distant not more than a morning's drive from noisy and populous Brighton--a stranger to this neighborhood could only have found his way by the compass, exactly as if he had been sailing on the sea! The farther we penetrated on our land-voyage, the more wild and the more beautiful the solitary landscape grew. The boy picked his way as he chose--there were no barriers here. Plodding behind, I saw nothing, at one time, but the back of the chaise, tilted up in the air, both boy and pony being invisibly buried in the steep descent of the hill. At other times, the pitch was all the contrary way; the whole interior of the ascending chaise was disclosed to my view, and above the chaise the pony, and above the p
The delightful narrator, Mrs. Pratolungo, an avid republican (in the anti-royalist sense), comes to an isolated country town to be a companion to a blind young woman, where she finds herself reluctantly furthering her strong-willed charge's eventful romance with a weak but wealthy young man amid unlikely adversity.
Collins' excellent characterization provides the main reason to read this novel. The Finch family is hilariously drawn, from the avaricious parson papa to the damp and fecund stepmother, not to mention the precocious toddler Jicks.
Miss Finch herself is the least interesting character -- she makes you want to shake her. The evil twin plot line must have been hokey even when this was written, and although Collins doesn't succumb to the sentimental treatment of blindness common in his era, the conclusion of the tale is so much romantic pap.

i love its foodiness and vanilla sweetness. but it doesnt last at all. barely half an hour but i bought it anyway.
i used to think tiempe passate doesnt last but now it does, so im hoping i have the same experience with this!
Age: 18 & Under

It's not as long lasting as curious, and theres no lotion to layer it with. I REALLY like the smell of this.. and it's more of a comfort thing, as far as i'm concerned. I wear this on the days when i feel too lazy to wear perfume and/or want ot use alot (bc you can barely smell this anyway).. i wish it was stronger, or i knew a perfume that smelled just like it.

In Control is smooth, but I find it not as long-lasting as Curious and Fantasy. It's a shame because I really like the scent. Where the others are sweet, On me, the orchid takes the stage front and center and are backed up the delicious combination of the vanilla, sandalwood and musk basenotes. Too smooth -- love it. Again, I wish it lasted longer. In Control is lovely, but fleeting --- yet, still I enjoy it.

So In Control is a mix of Fantasy and Curious, stronger on the curious notes though. I like Curious, it reminded me of sexy britney(pre k-fed) all sweaty and sweet....yeah. And fantasy is like a pastry. So the mix is good, but no lasting power that I found and has a woodsy undernote, that just doesn't work with the fragrance it's self. The britney bottles are very chic looks but black and hot pink? TACKY!

Something sweet and creamy like caramel wafted towards me while I was at the TM Angel counter picking up some Angel, so I asked the SA what that was. She proceeds to brandish this tacky (yet compelling) black with hot pink atomizer bottle I had tested when it was first launched a little over a year ago. I sniff the card, heavenly. I wonder to myself why I hadn't already purchased it. Optimistic, I apply it to my wrist and go for lunch. What began as caramel heaven and I was ready to plunk money down for a bottle right after lunch, soon turned to overpowering cedar chips. I love cedar chips, on the bottom of a hamster cage, not on my skin -and the staying power, well I had to shower with hot water and Ivory soap to get it off. What a disappointment! Is cedar even listed as a basenote?

I liked Fantasy and hated Curious, so I wasn't sure what I'd think of this one. I would agree that this is somewhat of a fusion of Fantasy and Curious, but for me it combines my least liked aspects of both fragrances. Like Curious it is too powdery for my tastes, and what it has in common with Fantasy is the syrupy sweetness. I find that this has very poor staying power compared with the other Britney perfumes. After an hour of wear it fades significantly.

I got the gift set as a present for my birthday. Came with body souffle, lip gloss and a pretty box for make up, jewelry, etc. I love the way it smells, like vanilla but not to strong and a big bottle of the perfume. Very sweet and flirty. My only complaint is that it didn't come with a purse-size version for me to carry around, plus the lasting power is ZERO. Sometimes when I layer it with my The Healing Garden body spray it lasts longer, but not much.

I really like this scent. I find it both soft and sexy, and it smells kind of powdery on me. I've tried all the Britney Spears fragrances and I think this one is the best. It's not too sweet like some of her other fragrances, but it's just very nice. I dont like the bottle though..

This fragrance seems to have a dual personality. It is fruity yet it does have that BBW musky Sensual Amber touch to it. I also do not like the atomizer as voiced in other reviews. Elizabeth Arden should put both types of sprayer heads in the box. Staying power is not as good as Fantasy. I am old enough to be Britney's mom so there goes the marketing ploy that is for the younger age group. Now would I wear this to a job interview? No I would not BUT I would wear it almost anyplace else as long as I didn't douse myself in it. I am sure this is geared for the younger crowd but who cares who it was made for long as YOU like it!

To me this smells exactley like Bath and Body Works Sensual Amber. I f you like that you will like this.

Welcome to the exciting website of Tony Giles – blind world travel extraordinaire.
Tony on the shore of Lake Louise in the Rocky Mountains, Alberta, Canada.
I am a young person, totally blind and 80% deaf in both ears without my hearing aids. I also had a successful kidney transplant in December 2008. Yet I have visited all seven of the World's continents. I have completed the goal of visiting all fifty states of the USA. I have also crossed the Arctic Circle, visited every country in South America, and all 10 Canadian provinces.
I originate from Weston-super-Mare, near Bristol, in the South West of England. At present I live in Teignmouth, Devon.
I have written several books about my world adventures. The books are travel diaries of the observations and experiences of a blind man as he travels around the world.

skedaddle onto the equally heart-stopping Million Dollar Highway to Ouray and Telluride.
For the formation we may compare American vamose, to skedaddle, from Span.
They skedaddle like lightning if they see so much as Rachel's shadow.
Everything was in confusion, and all was helter-skelter, skurry, and skedaddle.
The fight lasted about three hours, when the rebs were obliged to skedaddle.
The defence was too strong, and our force too small; we had to skedaddle, or we'd have seen Libby in a way we didn't like.
Now skedaddle into your own rooms, but don't you dare to sit down for a moment.
Billy Sunday made the devil tuck his tail between his legs and skedaddle Friday night.
Grandpa had flapped his hands at the children and said, "skedaddle, young-ones!"
In the skedaddle and panic that occurred later in the day, Joe, with many others, was taken prisoner by the Johnnies.
"to run away," 1861, American Civil War military slang, of unknown origin, perhaps connected to earlier use in northern England dialect with a meaning "to spill." Liberman says it "has no connection with any word of Greek, Irish, or Swedish, and it is not a blend" [contra De Vere]. He calls it instead an "enlargement of dial. scaddle 'scare, frighten.'" Related: Skedaddled; skedaddling. As a noun from 1870.

Nope, it's not an Audi, it's a Mazda. A 2006 Mazda Mazdaspeed 6, to be exact. On sale in the summer of 2005, the 2006 Mazda Mazdaspeed 6 will cost $27,995, unless you order the optional Grand Touring package, which bumps the cost of the car to $29,925.
Styling modifications such as aggressive front and rear fascias, bigger multi-spoke wheels, a lip spoiler for the trunk lid, and a bulging hood visually set the Mazdaspeed 6 apart from its more plebian brethren. Inside, sport-bolstered seats are upholstered in cloth, and a full complement of power-operated accessories is part of the deal.
Buyers of the optional Grand Touring package receive leather upholstery, an eight-way power driver's seat, heated front seats and mirrors, and a keyless entry and start system. Options are limited to pearlcoat paint, a moonroof, and a DVD navigation system, bringing the price tag of a fully equipped Mazdaspeed 6 to almost $33,000.
So be patient, and you'll find yourself behind the wheel in no time.

Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882)
Contributed by: Zaady
Thought takes man out of servitude, into freedom.
Nature is a revelation of God; Art a revelation of man.
The everyday cares and duties, which men call drudgery, are the weights and counterpoises of the clock of time, giving its pendulum a true vibration and its hands a regular motion; and when they cease to hang upon its wheels, the pendulum no longer swings, the hands no longer move the clock stands still.
Trouble is the next best thing to enjoyment; there is no fate in the world so horrible as to have no share in either its joy or sorrows.
Stay, stay at home, my heart, and rest; Home-keeping hearts are happiest.
There is a Reaper, whose name is Death, And with his sickle keen, He reaps the bearded grain at a breath, And the flowers that grow between.
Thinking the deed, and not the creed, Would help us in our utmost need.
Under the spreading chestnut tree The village smithy stands; The smith, a mighty man is he, With large and sinewy hands; And the muscles of his brawny arms Are strong as iron bands. . . . He earns whate'er he can, And looks the whole world in the face, For he owes not any man. . . . Toiling,-rejoicing,-sorrowing, Onward through life he goes; Each morning sees some task begin, Each evening sees it close; Something attempted, something done, Has earned a night's repose.
Source: The Village Blacksmith
A boy's will is the wind's will, And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.

Starling counts the number of words a child is exposed to
- Antonio Pasolini
- November 9, 2015
The more words a toddler is exposed to, the better are the chances he or she will have have social, emotional and intellectual success (in other words, a higher IQ). This process should start before the child can even talk back, according to research carried out over the last 30 years by human intelligence experts. These findings have inspired a Palo-Alto (CA) company called Versame to develop a new gadget to help parents maximize their little one's lexical exposure.Read More

Quotes About People
"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
― Maya Angelou
Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary."
― Oscar Wilde
"The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it."
― Albert Einstein
"Don't be afraid of enemies who attack you. Be afraid of the friends who flatter you."
― Dale Carnegie, How to Win Friends and Influence People

She can bake up a cream puff, so I'm pretty sure she'd be pretty great when it comes to baking…) But the good thing is that there is always a sweet treat or two in her magazine. And the December issue of the magazine didn't dissapoint in the baking area at all! There is a whole section on "stuffed" cookies, and believe me – I wanted to make every single one of those cookies!! But seeing that there are only so many hours in a day, and also that I really don't need to be eating 12 dozen cookies all by myself, I narrowed it down to the recipe I thought I'd like the best – these chocolate cookies stuffed with a peppermint patty.
We had a little family cookie party this past weekend, and these cookies were loved by all. In fact, my mom was still talking about them a few days later! You really can't go wrong with a chocolate cookie, filled with a peppermint patty!!
These cookies were a little tricky to figure out, but once I got the hang of it, they were a piece of cake. First of all, the dough is supposed to be refrigerated for an hour. I refrigerated mine overnight, and it was so hard when I took it out, I had to let it sit out for about an hour before I could even work with it. In some of the reviews online, people were complaining about the cookies spreading. I didn't have that problem at all – maybe because I refrigerated them so long?? Second, since this dough isn't super soft, it was tricky to get it around the peppermint patties. I found the easiest way was to break the dough into 2 dozen balls. Then break each ball in half, and make 2 flat discs out of those. Then put a peppermint patty in the center of two of the discs and wrap the dough around the patty. You need to make sure the peppermint patty is fully encased in the dough. Any holes, and the peppermint patty will leak out. Surprisingly, once I got the hang of these, they were quite easy, and extremely tasty!
These would make an impressive addition to your cookie plates this Christmas!
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1½ sticks (6 oz) unsalted butter, slightly softened
- 1 egg
- 24 miniature (about 1½-inch) peppermint patties, unwrapped and chilled
- 6 oz. white chocolate, chopped
- peppermint candy canes or peppermint candies, crushed or finely chopped
- In an electric mixer, beat the flour, cocoa powder, both sugars, salt and baking soda on low speed. Beat in the butter, then beat in the egg. Lay out a large sheet of plastic wrap and turn the dough onto the wrap. Wrap up and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces, about 1 tablespoon each. Working with one piece of dough at a time, cut the piece into 2 equal parts. Using your hands or on a work surface, flatten each piece into a circle, just larger than the peppermint patty. Put a peppermint patty on top of one piece, and put the other piece on top. Mold the dough around the peppermint patty with your hands, making sure there are no holes. Place on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and peppermint patties.
- Bake in teh preheated oven, rotating the pans halfway through, until just firm to the touch, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Meanwhile, melt half of the white chocolate in a double boiler. Remove from the heat and stir in the other half, stirring continuously until the chocolate has completely melted and is smooth. Using a large spoon or a fork, drizzle the cookies with the white chocolate, and then sprinkle with some crushed candy cane.

Thanks for linking to my stuffed cookies, too.
I'm not a huge fan of the mint + chocolate flavor combination but my brother is obsessed with it! He would love these – thanks for posting!
These have me wishing that I wasn't the only one in my family who loved minty desserts. If I made these I would have to eat them all….and I would! Very pretty.
Yum! This is the recipe I've been waiting for. My niece is serving a mission and when I asked what kind of treat she'd like she said chocolate + mint. Perfect.
WHAT, it's STUFFED!? That's crazy! It looks so insanely good. I'm not a huge peppermint patty person, but this could make me a believer.
My roommates and I are total suckers for any and all things peppermint/chocolate! These are SO happy. At the expense of my waistline. Oh well.
Peppermint patties are my brothers favorite candy. If I can get it together I'm totally making these to send to him! Great to see you yesterday!
LOVE! I could eat a hundred of these.
chocolate, white chocolate, and peppermint–this is a recipe tailor-made for me!
Hi, I've linked a previous post, a delicious pasta dish from Rachael Ray.
Your choc peppermint cookies looks really good! My daughter is a great fan of anything mint, she would definitely love this!
Have a lovely day!
All my favorite flavors combined! My mouth is salivating.
deb do you know that almost every night b4 bed i have 2 peppermint patties? it's a bad habit but i crave that peppermint every night.
don't get me started on peppermint gelato!
I love the peppermint patty inside of the chocolate cookie…yum; and I love how it looks too. I'm pinning this!
Realize this is an old post but wanted to post an update. I found these in the RR magazine years ago but stopped making them because the cookies were just too big when on a platter with many varieties no one wanted just one really big cookie. So when I passed the candy aisle at my local store and saw the miniature bag of unwrapped peppermint patties I realized I could make mini versions of this cookie. They turned out perfect!
I took the idea from this blog about rolling in a ball and cutting in half then took each half and wrapped one half around each mini peppermint patty! It made about 44 cookies and I cooked them for 7-8 1/2 minutes.
