NEW YORK -- Serena Williams has pulled out of an exhibition at Madison Square Garden because of a left leg injury.

The 12-time Grand Slam singles champion was to face Kim Clijsters on March 1 in what would have been their first meeting since Williams' infamous tirade during the semifinals at the 2009 U.S. ...

I lived in Murrieta for almost 20 years. It has grown amazingly quickly in that time and really is a great community with nice homes-- both reasonable and expensive -- highly ranked schools, good amount of parks and community events, and a great location about 1hr from beaches, 1hr from mountains, right next door to Temecula's wine country and hot air balloons, and opportunities for employment that are currently being expanded in the area. A great deal overall....

Great product and best kept seccret!
Posted by Reviewer1486600 on Nov 19, 2010
this works great...
Great Product
Posted by Reviewer2897600 on Jul 14, 2010
Really helps with the sneezing and itchy, watery eyes and nose. It also helps reduce my allergy attacks when I remember to use it. About the only thing it doesn't work for is when I can't breathe. That's when I have to go for Claritin-D, which I hate taking because it makes me jittery. But I still take Allergiemittel along with it because Claritin doesn't really do anything for my runny nose.
Allergy Relief
Posted by Reviewer2957742 on Jun 02, 2010
This was the only thing that finally helped my daughter with her allergies. It worked and kept on working as a preventive. My only note is that after a month or so of usage, she complained of a slight burning sensation under tongue where pill is dissolved. But I believe she needs to drink water after taking it which she now does and we'll see if that takes care of that. I highly recommend this for most allergy symptoms and to be used year-round as a preventive.
Good stuff

Posted by Reviewer2045882 on Oct 09, 2009
I have used this product for several years and found it to be very effective. I get relief from my itchy, watery eyes within fifteen minutes. It brings relief for other allergy symptons. I used to purchase it from Whole Foods (Winter Park), but they no longer carry it. As I live in the country receiving it by mail is more convenient.

The Best Alergy Relief Medicine
Posted by Reviewer2279254 on Apr 11, 2009
This is by far the best alergy relief medicine we have ever come accross. It is homeopathic and has no side effects. It is highly effective and wonderful to not have any groggy feeling from it.
Posted by Reviewer1445976 on Mar 29, 2009
I initially bought this for my son who suffers from allergies from time to time and other other over the counter products don't seem to work well. Now my whole family uses this for allergies. Works great no side effects at all.

- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: In the framework of the detailed phytochemical analysis of the aerial parts of Sideritis syriaca, two novel acylflavones were isolated together with three acetylated flavone glycosides and acylated flavone glycosides. The novel acylflavones were identified as isoscutellarein 7-trans-p-coumarate and apigenin 7-,4′-bis(trans-p-coumarate). Their structures were elucidated by means of UV, 1D and 2D NMR, LC–DAD–MS and confirmed by HR-MS spectroscopy.
Article: Synthesis, biological activity, and evaluation of the mode of action of novel antitubercular benzofurobenzopyrans substituted on A ring[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The 8-, 9-, 10-, and 11-halo, hydroxy, and methoxy derivatives of the antimycobacterial 3,3-dimethyl-3H-benzofuro[3,2-f][1]benzopyran were synthesized by condensation of the diazonium salts of 2-chloroanilines (13-17) with 1,4-benzoquinone (18), reduction of the intermediate phenylbenzoquinones 19-22 to dihydroxybiphenyls, cyclisation to halo-2-hydroxydibenzofurans 24-27, and construction of the pyran ring by thermal rearrangement of the corresponding dimethylpropargyl ethers 35-38. Palladium catalyzed nucleophilic aromatic substitution permitted conversion of the halo to the corresponding hydroxy derivatives which were methylated to methoxy-3,3-dimethyl-3H-benzofuro[3,2-f][1]benzopyran. All compounds substituted on the A ring were found more potent than the reference compound 1 against Mycobacterium bovis BCG and the virulent strain Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. The effect of the most active derivatives on mycolate synthesis was explored in order to confirm the preliminary hypothesis of an effect on mycobacterial cell wall biosynthesis. The linear 9-methoxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H-benzofuro[2,3-g][1]benzopyran (46) exhibiting a good antimycobacterial activity and devoid of cytotoxicity appeared to be the most promising compound.
Chapter: Clinical and pharmacogenomic assessment of herb-drug interactions to improve drug delivery and pharmacovigilance
Article: Isolation and structure elucidation of novel phenolic constituents from Sorbus domestica fruits[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: In the framework of the detailed phytochemical analysis of Sorbus domestica fruits at several maturity stages and additively to the phenolic compounds elucidated by LC-DAD-MS (ESI+), ten more, novel phenolic compounds were isolated after preparative work and their structure elucidation was achieved with UV–vis, NMR (1H, 13C, COSY, HSQC, HMBC, NOESY, TOCSY, ROESY), LC-DAD-MS (ESI+) and HR-NanoESI-QqTOF-MS/MS. The novel compounds belong to the categories of hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives (Compounds 1, 2, 3), polyphenolic phenylpropanoid derivative (Compound 4), quercetin glycosides (Compounds 5, 6), flavanol glycoside (Compound 7), quercetin dimmer (Compound 8) and biphenyls (Compounds 9, 10). Their structures were established as: Vannilic acid 4-O-α-L-rhamnoside (1), protocatechuic acid anhydrite (2), trivanilloyl-(1,3,4-trihydroxybenzol) ester (3), 3-{4-(bis[4-hydroxy-3-(5-hydroxypentanoyloxy) phenyl) methoxy]-3,5-dihydroxy phenyl} propanoic acid (4), quercetin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl(1′′′→2′′)-α-L-rhamnosyl(1′′′′→3′′′)-α-L-rhamnosyl(1′′′′′→3′′′′)-α-L-arabinofuranoside, quercetin 3-O-α-L-rhamnosyl(1′′′→3′′)-β-D-glucopyranoside (6), 5,7,3′,6′-tetrahydroxyflavanol 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (7), (7-O-4′′′, 4′O-7′′) quercetin dimmer (8), [2,2′-dihydroxy, 4-(propionic acid hexyl ester), 4′-(propionic acid heptyl ester)] biphenyl (9) and [2,6,2′,6′-tetrahydroxy, 4,4′-bis-(propionic acid hexyl ester)] biphenyl (10).
Article: The phytochemical analysis and antioxidant activity assessment of orange peel (Citrus sinensis) cultivated in Greece-Crete indicates a new commercial source of hesperidin. Biomed Chromatogr[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The flavonoid content of several methanolic extract fractions of Navel orange peel (flavedo and albedo of Citrus sinensis) cultivated in Crete (Greece) was first analysed phytochemically and then assessed for its antioxidant activity in vitro. The chemical structures of the constituents fractionated were originally determined by comparing their retention times and the obtained UV spectral data with the available bibliographic data and further verified by detailed LC-DAD-MS (ESI+) analysis. The main flavonoid groups found within the fractions examined were polymethoxylated flavones, O-glycosylated flavones, C-glycosylated flavones, O-glycosylated flavonols, O-glycosylated flavanones and phenolic acids along with their ester derivatives. In addition, the quantitative HPLC analysis confirmed that hesperidin is the major flavonoid glycoside found in the orange peel. Interestingly enough, its quantity at 48 mg/g of dry peel permits the commercial use of orange peel as a source for the production of hesperidin. The antioxidant activity of the orange peel methanolic extract fractions was evaluated by applying two complementary methodologies, DPPH(*) assay and the Co(II)/EDTA-induced luminol chemiluminescence approach. Overall, the results have shown that orange peel methanolic extracts possess moderate antioxidant activity as compared with the activity seen in tests where the corresponding aglycones, diosmetin and hesperetin were assessed in different ratios.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The aerial parts of Sideritis syriaca ssp. syriaca (Lamiaceae) were extracted, after defatting, with diethyl ether, ethyl acetate and n-butanol. The antioxidant activities of the extracts were evaluated through in vitro model systems, such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) and Co(II) EDTA-induced luminol chemiluminescence. In both model systems the ethyl acetate extract was the most effective. Phytochemical analysis of ethyl acetate extract showed the presence of two new isomeric compounds (1 and 1′), identified as 1-rhamnosyl, 1-coumaroyl, dihydrocaffeoyl, protocatechuic tetraester of quinic acid, as well as chlorogenic acid (2), apigenin 7-O-glucoside (3), apigenin (4), 4′-O-methylisoscutellarein 7-O-[6′′′-O-acetyl-β-D-allopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-d-glucopyranoside] (5), isoscutellarein 7-O-[6′′′-O-acetyl-β-D-allopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-d-glucopyranoside] (6), 4′-O-methylisoscutellarein 7-O[β-d-allopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-d-glucopyranoside] (7) and 4′-O-methylisoscutellarein 7-O-[β-d-allopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-6′′-O-acetyl-β-d-glucopyranoside] (8). The above compounds were identified by spectroscopic methods.
Article: The aldose reductase inhibitory capacity of Sorbus domestica fruit extracts depends on their phenolic content and may be useful for the control of diabetic complications. Pharmazie[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Aldose reductase (ALR2) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the polyol pathway associated with the conversion of glucose to sorbitol and whose activity is implicated in the development of the long-term diabetic complications. Upon previous years, several scientific efforts were focused towards the development of ALR2 inhibitors as effective secondary anti-diabetic drugs. To this regard and during our extensive phytochemical analysis of Sorbus domestica (fam. Rosaceae), twenty nine different extracts, fractions and residues of five different maturity stages of Sorbus domestica fruits were evaluated for their in vitro ALR2 inhibitory capacity. The data obtained thus far have indicated that the diethyl ether and ethyl acetate fractions possess high aldose reductase inhibitory activity. Furthermore, detailed phytochemical LC-DAD-MS (ESI+) analysis of such extracts has shown that this aldose reductase inhibitory activity could be attributed to the high content of flavonoids and hydroxycinnamoyl esters. These results suggest that Sorbus domestica fruit consumption may be a promising way for lowering the incidence of long-term complications of diabetes mellitus, especially at early stages, a possibility being discussed in this paper.

Article: LC-DAD-MS (ESI+) analysis and antioxidant capacity of Crocus sativus petal extracts. Plant Med[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: In this study, various fractions isolated from the petals of Crocus sativus were assessed at first for their phenolic content both qualitatively and quantitatively and secondly for their antioxidant activity. The phytochemical analysis was carried out by LC-DAD-MS (ESI (+)) whereas the antioxidant potential was evaluated by applying two methodologies, the DPPH. radical scavenging activity test and the Co(II)-induced luminol chemiluminescence procedure. According to data obtained from these antioxidant tests, the diethyl ether, ethyl acetate and aqueous fractions demonstrated the strongest antioxidant capacity. Interestingly, the major constituents identified in these fractions correspond to kaempferol, quercetin, naringenin and some flavanone and flavanol derivatives glycosylated and esterified with phenylpropanoic acids. In addition, the presence of some nitrogen-containing substances, as well as other phenolics and phenylpropanoic derivatives was also traced. The identification and structural elucidation of all substances isolated in this study was achieved by both comparing available literature data and by proposed fragmentation mechanisms based on evaluating the LC-DAD-MS (ESI (+)) experimental data. The quantitative analysis data obtained thus far have shown that Crocus sativus petals are a rich source of flavonoids. Such a fact suggests that the good antioxidant capacity detected in the various fractions of Crocus sativus petals could be attributed to the presence of flavonoids, since it is already known that these molecules exert antioxidant capability. The latter, along with the use of Crocus sativus in food and pharmaceutical industry is discussed.
Article: LC-DAD-MS (ESI+) analysis of the phenolic content of Sorbus domestica fruits in relation to their maturity stage. Food Chem[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was the detailed qualitative and quantitative analysis of the phenolic content of several extracts and fractions of Sorbus domestica fruits. The analysis was realized by LC–DAD–MS (ESI+). Twenty-four different extracts and fractions of five different maturity stages of the fruit were analyzed for comparison reasons in order to determine the most beneficial for health type of consuming. Sixty-two different phenolics were identified. There were significant qualitative and quantitative differentiations in the phenolic content among the different types of the fruits. All categories were rich in benzoic, phenylpropanoic and cinnamoylquinic acids and derivatives. Unripe fruit categories were also rich in flavonoids, while well matured fruit categories had a low content of flavonoids. Fruit pulp, which was proved to be a strong antioxidant according to previous research work, contained very low amounts of both acids and flavonoids, but its phenolic content was highly qualitatively differentiated from the other categories.
Article: Antioxidant activities of various extracts and fractions of Sorbus domestica fruits at different maturity stages. Food Chem[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Thirty four different extracts, fractions and residues of five different maturity stages of the Greek Service tree fruits (Sorbus domestica, fam. Rosaceae) were evaluated for their antioxidant activities (DPPH and luminol-induced chemiluminescence methods) and in correlation with their total phenolic contents (Folin–Ciocalteau test).Dichloromethane, diethyl ether and ethyl acetate fractions possessed significant radical-scavenging activities which were greater than the activity of trolox. This seemed to be correlated with their total phenolic content. Unripe yellow fruits, together with the fruit pulp, were the strongest antioxidants, while the well-matured brown fruits were the weakest ones. Results showed that the fractions of diethyl ether, ethyl acetate and dichloromethane, can be used as antioxidants in food and medicinal preparations.

in response to XavierZHello XavierZ. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 64bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore an ASCII password on an AirPort base station will be hashed differently on a non-Apple client and vice versa.
When connecting a pre-OS X 10.2 AirPort computer to a non-AirPort base station, you must precede the hex key with a "$", or enclose a ASCII key with double quotation marks (""). The "$" sign tells AirPort that you are sending the WEP keys directly, and that it doesn't need to translate the password into its WEP equivalent ... but this shouldn't apply with your AirPort Express Base Station (AX).
You may find the following articles helpful:
o Accessing a Airport Network with a Windows XP PC or laptop (with XP SP2)
o Apple article, especially the part about "Third-party client to Airport".
Also, when generating the WEP key on your D-Link, make sure that you only use Key 1. Keys 2-4 will not work.
Finally, two things I suggest:
o Use WPA or WPA2 instead of WEP as WEP is no longer considered secure.
o If you must use WEP, use a 128-bit HEX key instead of ASCII.
David Chess Jun 28, 2008 4:49 AM
in response to XavierZWe're having pretty much exactly this same problem: brand-new Airport Express, 64-bit WEP on the house wireless with a hex key, everything in the house works great, even the previous Airport Express worked great until it broke. But the new Airport Express won't join the house wireless network whether I give the hex key straight, or start it with a $, or with "0x". In my case the wireless device is a relatively old Linksys, but that shouldn't matter.
Again, this worked perfectly with the previous Airport Express. I suspect that either the new Airport utility or the Airport Express firmware itself no longer properly recognizes the $ or the straight form of the hex password. Either there's some bug, or the secret undocumented $ technique has been changed to something else that I haven't tried yet. Maybe % or ^ or * or...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
David Chess Jun 28, 2008 10:33 AM
in response to David ChessP.S. I briefly turned security off on the home wireless network, and then the Airport Express worked fine. So it must be that it's for some reason not using the right password.
XavierZ Jun 28, 2008 10:57 PM
in response to David ChessThanks for the post above, but the connection is still not working when I enable WEP. I have tried both 64 BIT and 128 BIT HEX keys. I am using only the first line in my D-Link WEP setup for the keys.
I thought I would give an example of the type of keys I have tried:
The first two are when I was using 64 bit HEX codes, and the last two were at 128 BIT.
Is there something I am missing? Could the Airport Express have some sort of case sensitivity for example, or do new models with new firmware simply not work with WEP and non-apple routers?
David Chess Jun 29, 2008 11:04 AM
in response to XavierZI've now tried
1234567890 (not the actual key, but you get the idea)
and none of them have worked. Still suspecting some bug in either the utility or the Express firmware (don't know where the translation is done) that prevents hex keys from getting configured into the Express correctly.
Alias of Mark Sep 3, 2008 3:26 AM
in response to David ChessAlright you guys, I have something you should check out and try. !http://discussions.apple.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif!
Holding down the option-key while choosing the Network from the AirPort Menu Bar Item (top right area of the "Apple Menu Bar") should allow you to enter the 64 hexadecimal character pre-shared key. !http://discussions.apple.com/images/emoticons/shocked.gif!
Check out Apple's short article on the matter: [AirPort: How to enter a 64 character hexadecimal Pre-Shared Key for WPA|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108093|Apple Support Article 108093] !http://discussions.apple.com/images/emoticons/grin.gif!
Hopefully, that helps. !http://discussions.apple.com/images/question-assumed_resolved-16x16.gif! You may want to try the different variations of "expressing" hexadecimal characters when connecting to your networks like above.

Stranger 94 by dannystWatch
©2011-2016 dannyst
She was walking with 2 of her friends, talking and laughing, having a good time. I noticed her face which seemed so radiant yet so subtle. I remember when I stepped in front of them, she seemed startled. It always worries me whenever I see that expression. I'm glad I eventually got this portrait.
Please check out my facebook page here: [link]

What a lovely portrait... I love your Stranger series. And I think I see your reflection in her eyes!
hey, dannyst do you think i can take a picture like this with a camera sony nex-5nk with 18-55mm,, 16 mpx
nice soft skin and what beautiful cat-like eyes<3
her eyes ... are amazing!!
what camera and lences do you used. for this portrait can you feed me back,, or writte back thanks
I /love/ this one
She looks like it had cat's eyes
I adore your stranger series, it reminds people that not only models are worthy for pictures!
Eyes of olive hue
Your silent words I can hear
What name to your face?

She looks really beautiful. Your storied make me want to go take photographs of strangers as well
great lighting!
her eyes are arresting
i love how the imperfections: the chapped lips, the flyaway hairs, all contribute to make this shot only more beautiful, as if to highlight how real it is. not staged or edited, but there; like youre looking into a face of beautiful reality.
beautiful picture, her eyes are very pretty.
Wow, her eyes are crazy haha I love all of your stranger pictures there is just something so different about them, and they seem to highlight the people within them so magnificently.
her eyes .. wow.. they're gorgeous
She has some stunning eyes, really good photo
This shot is interesting in so many ways. Her lips pressed together just a little -- not quite sure of herself. The color of her eyes are amazing. The shallow depth of field makes her face really pop out at you. The framing and shadows are perfect.
I love her eyes!!
..awww, she's so beautiful.

In the immediate aftermath of September 11, the Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection site was used by CNN and appeared on broadcast screens around the world. The site received so many hits from information seekers around the globe that the increased traffic slowed the universitys Internet connectivity to the point that access to the PCL Map Collection site had to be restricted.
The Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection Web site, a virtual desktop atlas, now averages around 8 million hits a month and has been described in College and Research Libraries News as a must-see map site.
In spring 1995, when the World Wide Web was in its infancy, Rascoe had a vision. With the support and encouragement of his General Libraries colleagues, that vision developed into a collection of more than 5,000 digitized, mainly copyright-free maps used today by researchers, school children, and news and governmental agencies worldwide.
Maps of current interest are highlighted on the sites opening page. These selections have been the most heavily used by the public and are referred to by news organizations such as CNN, The New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, The Village Voice, the Atlanta Constitution, The Guardian (London) and the London Times, in various broadcast, print and web formats of their publications.
The PCL maps, unlike other maps on the Internet, are all high-resolution, so you can see place names clearly, Rascoe emphasized. The sites most popular map is a map of the world that receives 150,000 hits a month. One of its top referring sites is Yahooligans! The Web Guide for Kids.

I never could have predicted Ronimo would be able to keep Awesomenauts going for this long. It's impressive! Today, the studio released another major update for the 2D MOBA as well as the second paid expansion, Overdrive, which adds three characters to the roster.

All players are getting a new matchmaking system; touched-up visuals for special effects, user-interface elements, and even characters (Lonestar looks so much better); and a free 'naut, Ix the Interloper. He was the winning entry from last year's "Design-Your-Naut 2" contest.

As for Overdrive itself, the expansion is $8.99 and includes the robo dino-summoning Professor Milton Yoolip, the biker bounty hunter Chucho Krokk, and the twins Jimmy, Amy, and their Lux-5000 Toddletron mech (all one character). As usual, the artwork is great.

Since I last played Awesomenauts, Ronimo rolled out a new progression system for leveling up. That stuff might be new for you, too. There's also a map from the Starstorm expansion currently playable in a pre-alpha state in custom matches ahead of its final release later this year.

Enough to get me back in? Probably not, if Heroes of the Storm has anything to say about it.

You really have to give it to Ronimo. It released its 2D action platformer MOBA Awesomenauts back in 2012, and as a smaller developer, it has gone through so much. It's dealt with legal issues surrounding the publishing of the game on previous generation consoles, and even created other projects while maintaining monthly support for Awesomenauts, as well as an expansion and a heap of free characters. You could say the team has its hands full.

And the ride isn't over yet. Ronimo just announced its newest update, which is yet another expansion, titled Overdrive. It's set for release sometime next year. Among other base enhancements to the game like a new matchmaking system, the recent shared XP update (which brings it more in line with Heroes of the Storm and less like Dota or League), and visual reworks for classic characters, there's also a ton of new content coming.

Four characters are already confirmed (Professor Yoolip, Chucho Krokk, Jimmy and Amy, and Ix the Interloper), as well as that Starstorm stage that still hasn't been released yet. Three of the characters will be part of the premium package, but Ix will be free for everyone.

I can't believe Awesomenauts is still getting free characters at this point beyond their Starstorm expansion -- it's been over three years since the game launched on PC. But here we are, and on September 2nd, the game will get its 2.12 update, which will bring Ksenia, a "hairdresser assassin from space."

She'll be the 23rd character in the game, and she'll arrive with a Sentai-like premium skin. You can get a look at her character above, as well as some hints at future updates.

It's been a while since I've booted up Awesomenauts, but I think I'll be doing just that when the newest character hits the roster. His name is Rocco, and he's a bird with a bow. He also has chicken feet, which makes him amazing. Rocco will be added to the game in patch 2.11, at which point he'll be available to play for everyone who owns the game -- no Starstorm restrictions.

I can't believe Ronimo is updating the game over three years later, but here we are. I wish they didn't have their constant issues with the console editions of the game, as a cross-platform experience could have been really big for them.

Patch 2.11 [Awesomenauts] Thanks, Jonathan!

Swords and Soldiers, released in 2009 as Ronimo's first game, was an underrated treasure. Although it was soon eclipsed by their subsequent release of Awesomenauts a few years later, it remained a staple in my house, as it was wonderously easy to pick up and play at any time.

Swords and Soldiers II builds upon that foundation and adds just enough depth to keep things interesting.

I've been playing Awesomenauts off and on for a few years now. I was pretty happy with my purchase of the Steam version for full price, but for the next few hours it's on sale for $0.99. If you haven't given it a shot yet, now is a good time. All of the DLC (including the Starstorm expansion) is half-off.

The PC edition is the clear-cut best version of the game, as it adds updates the moment they become available, instead of having to wait for publisher-specific patch processes on the PS4 (and the Xbox One release when it drops this summer). The developers are still fine-tuning it on Steam constantly, with new balance patches and fixes on a regular basis.

I've got a soft spot for sidescrolling strategy games like Swords & Soldiers. Maybe you do too. While they typically aren't as deep as their 3D contemporaries, they scratch a certain itch and can be hard to put down once you get in the groove of unleashing the right troops at the right time.

Coming off of the last game, the art direction in Swords & Soldiers II is major upgrade. Ronimo has sent over word that the Wii U-exclusive sequel will release digitally on May 21, 2015.

Besides the familiar Viking faction, you'll also be able to play in skirmishes as the Persian Empire (complete with Djinns!) and the Demon Horde. There's also a full campaign again, of course.

In detailing some of what's in store for Awesomenauts' upcoming patch 2.6, Ronimo Games announced that it's finally preparing another map: AI Station 205. That's not to be confused with the existing AI Station 404, which is similar "but also contains some fundamental changes."

The patch will also add "some of the best and most fun" community-made bots to Awesomenauts, as well as a more in-depth profile screen, better replays, and a cool-sounding AI Editor update which "will make it possible for modders to create, for example, a defense mode where three players need to defend against waves of enemies."

I've stopped playing the game in recent months (it's one of the few that causes me to get overly competitive) but this -- this sounds like reason enough to return.

If you've been patiently waiting for the PS4 version of Awesomenauts to actually get inline with the PC edition, your waiting has partially paid off. Ronimo has announced that the first major patch has dropped today, which includes characters Ted McPain as well as Penny Fox, custom games, and various other bug fixes.

The sad news is that Sentry and Skree are still nowhere to be found, and considering that it took months before Ted and Penny reached the PS4 version, it's up in the air as to when those two will drop. Also, with the Xbox One version coming soon, I don't know what both timetables are going to be like.

On the bright side though outside of feature parity issues, the PS4 port is very, very well done.

Ever since Skree was announced earlier this year for Awesomenauts, I've wanted to play him. With his cool looking hover-board and Predator-like design, he always looked like a ton of fun to play. Well now you can give him a shot, so long as you have the Starstorm expansion installed.

He'll have a lightning rod at his disposal for his core attack, as well as saw blades and a magical totem. His primary attack is a chain lightning of sorts, the saw blade can hit multiple enemies as well, and the totem blocks off escape routes.

All in all he seems like a pretty technical character, so I can't wait to try him out. In addition to Skree, there's also an AI Editor update, as well as general re-balancing. Here's what's left for Starstorm -- an online spectator mode, a new map, global chat, and another fifth expansion character.

Awesomenauts has enjoyed a healthy life, appearing on last generation consoles and thriving on PC with tons of updated content. Awesomenauts Assemble! released on PlayStation 4 earlier this year, and although it lags behind the PC version with none of the Starstorm content yet, it looked like a pretty good port. But what about the poor Xbox One users who have been without the 2D battle arena? Ronimo has got them covered now too.

Awesomenauts Assemble! is headed to the Xbox One, but Ronimo has not given an estimated release window yet. The Xbox One version is planned to be identical to the PlayStation 4 version, which means the newer characters should be added in the future, as well as any other updates "as long as it's commercially viable."

It seems we only just got Penny Fox in Awesomenauts: Starstorm and now Ronimo is back with its 18th character to date, Sentry X-58. He has a risky ability that launches a black hole, dealing back damage he's taken during a short window of opportunity. That plus a teleport ability usable after not taking damage for two seconds should be a devastating combo.

Also in this update, you'll find a long-awaited feature: replays. Accessible from the main menu, replays are saved automatically and represent Ronimo's initial work toward a full spectator mode.

I'm not one to buy character skins, but X-58's alternate appearance looks so cool. I played a round with him and, in the right hands, he's going to be deadly. But that's normally the way with character rollouts -- start 'em off overpowered and make tweaks from there.

Ronimo has rolled out its Secrets of Space update for Awesomenauts today on Steam and it's time to give the multiplayer game another look. The patch will be available on PlayStation 4 at a later date -- "we'll do our best to make it as soon as possible," says the studio -- but those players should at least look over what's in store. There's a lot to take in.

Beyond the new Starstorm character Penny Fox, who has quickly become one of my favorites thanks to her engaging play style, there are loads of polish improvements and all 16 prior 'nauts have undergone balance changes. Visual effects are noticeably better in spots, and I love that it's now clear how much solar you're picking up with numbered pop-ups. See the full notes here.

Had I ever stopped playing Awesomenauts, now would be a terrific time to get back in.

Ronimo Games is hard at work with Swords and Soldiers II, but that doesn't mean they're done with its predecessor. The developer has just announced that in collaboration with fellow Dutch developer Two Tribes, that they're bringing over the original Swords and Soldiers to the Wii U.

It'll feature the same game with "high-res HD graphics," GamePad and Wiimote support, and multiplayer functionality involving the second screen. It's expected to drop in April 2014 at a "low price."

Swords and Soldiers was a pretty fantastic time waster. Although there was a good deal of depth to it, it was a ton of fun to boot up and play with someone else for a few rounds even if you were just messing around.

Naturally I'm looking forward to Swords and Soldiers II, especially with the announcement of the new Demon faction. You can get a good look at both the Vikings and Demons in the video above, and a third army will be revealed eventually.

Romino is still trucking with their Awesomenauts Starstorm update, and we have a number of characters and a new level to drop still. Ted McPain was the last addition back in December, but today, the developer has announced the "Foxy 'Naut" -- with her name to be revealed later down the line. If you're an Iron Tier backer, you can try her in the beta now.

They expect her to be fully live in a few weeks after her beta ends, and she'll arrive with Update 2.3, which also includes balance work on upgrades and abilities, as well as one extra addition designed to prohibit cheating. In the past, some players would quit a losing game only to come back as a different character and counter-pick. After this update, you can only play as the same character throughout -- nice!

After a series of delays the PS4 version of Awesomenauts is finally here, albeit slightly behind the PC version in terms of content. For starters, you won't find the newest character Ted McPain anywhere, nor will you find any elements of Starstorm.

Despite that holdup, I played a few games today and it's been extremely smooth sailing. The servers seem to be in good shape, Assemble runs very smoothly, and it looks great on a big screen -- slightly better than it does when I hook up my PC to a TV. I also can't get enough of how good the Dualshock 4 feels, and it's perfectly suited for Awesomenauts with a similar setup to the PC (just sub in the touchpad as the leaderboard button).

As long as creator Ronimo and PS4 port developer Abstraction Games start adding Starstorm content to Assemble sooner than later, it'll end up being a fine console port, and a major upgrade from the developer's previous efforts on the 360 and PS3.

While I'm a huge Awesomenauts fan first and foremost, I also got a kick out of Ronimo Games' prior release, Swords & Soldiers. It is one of those sidescrolling real-time strategy titles where you send your troops to the other end of the screen to beat up opposing troops. Simple fun. Nearly five years later, it's getting a sequel. What have they learned since then?

The studio has announced Swords & Soldiers II for Wii U and the vikings are back, this time concerned with saving the world, not putting on a killer barbeque. Little else is known at this point, however if development is anything like it was for the last game, I'd expect ports and lots of 'em.

Ronimo will be saying more at the Game Developers Conference in March, and Swords & Soldiers II is going to be publicly playable at PAX East in April.

My favorite online multiplayer game is finally going to land on PlayStation 4 next week, as Awesomenauts Assemble! releases on PlayStation Network. The title releases in North America on March 4 for $9.99, with a European release on the following day.

As an avid Awesomenauts player, the arrival of the PS4 version brings with it mixed feelings. The original console releases were great fun, until the Steam version rendered them obsolete with a steady stream of new content and balance tweaks. Now comes Assemble!, already behind the curve, with portions of the Kickstarted Starstorm DLC content already in the wild on Steam and numerous balance and gameplay shifts having been made in adjustment to that.

It still calls to me. Maybe it's a desire for a simpler time before Ted McPain and his goddamn shotgun completely countered my melee strategy with Gnaw. Or when aggressive Voltars were as rare as they were dangerous (they're all just dangerous now). And maybe it's a little bit that I want to play more stuff I love on the PS4. Doesn't matter if it's a time capsule, I want to play it all the same.

Ronimo Games has confirmed to Destructoid that the chances of the PlayStation 4 release of Awesomenauts are "slim to none" in 2013. According to the developer, the studio handling the PS4 port, Abstraction Games, has submitted the game to Sony "several times," and is still waiting for approval.

This situation is happening right alongside of the PC launch of the Starstorm expansion, which is going quite well, and is actually ahead of schedule. Hopefully whatever issues Sony has with the game can be smoothed over sooner than later.

After a mega-successful campaign, Awesomenauts' Starstorm expansion is nearly upon us, and the initial bit of content could hit as early as this week. If all goes according to plan, Ted McPain, the first add-on character, will drop this Thursday. If you've been playing the beta you've already seen him in action.

Keys for Starstorm will be sent out this week, so check your email before Thursday if you want to get in on the action at launch. Everyone will also be getting surveys soon (the good kind), asking you for your t-shirt size, and all of the other info for backer rewards. I'm pretty stoked for the new content, and I hope it breaths new life into the game.

Ronimo Games has made available a special Awesomenauts skin with the game's PC version 1.25 update today. The "Private Mels" skin for Lonestar is result of Ronimo's participation in granting a child (named Mels) his wish to take part in the development of a game through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Young Mels spent a day with Ronimo and designed the skin which now bears his name.

Paying it forward, Ronimo has announced that it will be donating all revenue from the 2013 sales of the "Private Mels" skin to Make-A-Wish so that more kids can benefit from the foundation.

Ronimo Games has passed along a quick note that Awesomenauts: Assemble won't be ready in time for the North American launch of the PlayStation 4 on November 15 as previously expected. The 2D MOBA has officially been pushed back to "launch window" status.

On the bright side, the studio is hopeful it can have Awesomenauts finished for the console's European launch on November 29. Fingers crossed. Console gamers have missed out on the PC version's expanded content for too long. It's a whole new game these days. A fantastic one at that.

Awesomenauts for the PS4 now has a brand new moniker -- Awesomenauts: Assemble, and it'll have all of the content of the PC version, as well as all future Starstorm expansion content. Ronimo was originally aiming for a PlayStation 4 launch date, but if you noticed that list of confirmed launch games yesterday, they weren't on it.

They're still putting the finishing touches to aim for a launch, but it's not 100% yet, so it may end up a "launch window" situation. In other news, PC players can now test out the first bit of Starstorm content, including custom games and a team deathmatch mode. After a trial period these features (along with the new characters, level, and other extras) will be sold as part of the Starstorm package, the pricing of which hasn't been revealed.

Awesomenauts: Starstorm is one of the few Kickstarters I've backed. It's no secret that I'm a fan of the core game, and I'm hardly the only one on staff, either, but it's something I feel compelled to share. The campaign is still going strong and there are a few noteworthy updates to tell you about. First, for you non-players: Awesomenauts will be freely playable on Steam this week.

Do check it out, as the community is still active on PC. If you like what you play, the game is down to a mere $3.39 to own forever. The free promotion lasts through Sunday afternoon, so there's plenty of time to make up your mind. Character skins are also discounted if you've been holding out -- I might have to finally cave after resisting for so long.

Going back to Starstorm, Ronimo Games has introduced a new benefit for backers who contribute $50 or more: Voltar as a narrator. The best part about this is that he'll say "An enemy has been killed" instead of the vanilla narrator's "A enemy has been killed." I don't know if that's worth the fifty bucks to me, but I can see it being a tempting offer for some of you.

[Update: I've since played a few matches with Swiggins, and I have to say, he's incredibly fun. Behind Leon, I think he's currently my second favorite character, as he has a ton of potential, a good amount of variety in his skillset, and he's invaluable in teamfights with his anchor ability.]

I gave you a taste of what was to come with Awesomenauts recently, and part of that involved the brand new 'naut Admiral Swiggins. As of today he's out of the testing pan and into the fire, and you can simply download your PC update and play as him for free. Currently he's only available after you level up once, but as always, that limitation is waived if you buy a skin.

If you're so inclined, you can pick up the Admiral Swiggins PHD (Super Meat Boy) or the Abyssal Swiggins skins. I haven't had a chance to play as him yet, but I've played against him, and he seems really fun. His anchor ability is pretty brutal, as it allows him to root 'nauts for quite a while, but he doesn't seem to do a ton of damage, so right now he seems pretty balanced. We'll see how the meta is in a week, but for now I'm enjoying his inclusion.

Awesomenauts is still chugging, and based on the results of its latest Kickstarter for the Starstorm expansion, it's going to keep chugging for quite some time. In just seven days, Ronimo has reached its goal of $125,000, which nets players three new characters, twin-stick support, new music, and a spectator mode.

Work on the currently funded content will begin right away Ronimo says, as it preps to meet the next goal of $200,000, which includes a new map and additional music. The stretch goals keep going and going, so it'll be interesting to see where they end up! Either way, I'm already ready for Starstorm.

It's common knowledge that it's tough to be an indie studio -- especially if you're running a competitive online multiplayer title. Despite the fact that your game may have across-the-board rave reviews, maintaining a community, constantly developing new content, and figuring out ways to monetize is incredibly hard. Ronimo Games is going through that with Awesomenauts right now.

To help Ronimo stay independent, they've launched a Kickstarter that at the time of this writing is doing quite well, nearly breaking $100,000 in just a few days. But the studio has a lot of work to do starting with the PlayStation 4 version of their game -- a version that's now launching with the console, by the way!

If you want more Awesomenauts you're in luck, as Ronimo Games has just launched a $125,000 goal Kickstarter for a full-on expansion to the game. Set to debut in the add-on pack titled Awesomenauts: Starstorm are three new characters (Ted McPain, Sentry X-58, and Skree), a new stage, spectator mode, global chat, twin-stick controller support, and new music. There are extra stretch goals, including another map, more music, custom games, more characters, and more.

This is ticking all the right boxes with me. The new characters look really awesome (I really want to try Skree as a Leon/stealth fan), and since the game is coming to the PS4 (confirmed with "most features" in Starstorm in tow), the future is looking really bright for Awesomenauts. Right now, these features are only confirmed for the PC and PS4 versions of the game, and they're likely to stay that way.

When the PS4 drops eventually, you'll have one more game to play on it -- Awesomenauts. Ronimo Games has just announced that Abstraction Games is handling the new version, as they are sticking to publishing duties. Another announcement is "possibly" coming next week.

If you're still salty from the lack of updates on the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions don't worry -- Ronimo says that all of the PC content will be included so far in the PS4 game, including the ability to purchase skins. Ronimo has also stated that they intend to keep this version consistently updated if this version is successful enough.

While I can't say I'm super excited to play the game on the PS4 in particular, this is great news, because it at the very least confirms the continued support for Awesomenauts in general.

Luxury Hotels in Washington, DC
Planning a star-studded trip to the nation's capital? Washington, DC has plenty of distinguished hotels that not only will provide top-notch service, but might even give you a glimpse of some political power players. Check out Travel Channel and Oyster.com's best bets for luxury hotels in Washington, DC.
The Jefferson
Our pick for the best all-around luxury hotel in DC is a bit unusual for us -- the Jefferson doesn't have the awesome range of amenities we usually expect from the top luxury hotels. But we think the property's extraordinary attention to detail makes up for those issues, from the flat-screen TVs embedded in the bathroom mirrors to the intimate library with vintage hardcovers to the working dumbwaiter (a Thomas Jefferson invention) in the private dining room. The rooms are somehow both sophisticated and homey; the French-American cuisine at Plume restaurant is superb; and the lovely luxury spa, which features vinotherapies (to reflect Thomas Jefferson's love of wine), is a rare feature among DC hotels.
The Hay Adams
The Hay-Adams' biggest trump card over most of its luxury competitors is its location: The hotel is across the street from the White House, and rooms facing H Street on the 6th, 7th, and 8th floors have superb views (for an extra $100). It's the closest most people can get to actually staying at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, so it's no wonder the hotel (and its famous bar, appropriately named Off the Record) draws political players from around the world (including the Obamas themselves, who stayed here before the inauguration).
Park Hyatt Washington
This polished, urbane 219-room property excels in every way: the soothing, contemporary public spaces; huge, hushed and heavenly rooms; impeccable, skillfully discreet service; and the winning Blue Duck Tavern (the Obamas have dined here). The jaw-dropping bathrooms, many covered in limestone and featuring walk-in showers with rainfall showerheads, are among the best we've seen anywhere. The Foggy Bottom location is the property's only drawback; it's convenient for exploring Georgetown on foot, but not for visiting the Mall, the White House, or the monuments.
Four Seasons Washington, DC
Located in the ever-rarefied neighborhood of Georgetown, the 211-room Four Seasons hits the high notes with its classically luxurious rooms, Michael Mina restaurant, and massive tri-level spa and fitness center. But as at many Four Seasons, it's the service that really stands out. Every concierge is a member of Les Clefs d'Or, the prestigious concierge organization with just 3,000 members worldwide, and 26 employees have worked at the hotel since it opened in 1979 -- making the staff not just experienced and well trained, but loyal. In short, it's better qualified than just about any staff in the country to handle the many high-profile guests who come to stay.
The Ritz-Carlton Washington
This 300-room Foggy Bottom Ritz-Carlton offers the whole Ritz package: stellar service, big and comfortable rooms, access to one of the city's best gyms (Sports Club/LA), and on-site Westend Bistro by Michelin-star celebrity chef Eric Ripert.
W Washington DC
Opened in July 2009 in a landmark Beaux Arts building built in 1917, just steps from the White House, this trendy 317-room hotel has emerged as an oasis of hipness in conservative Washington. J&G Steakhouse by Jean-Georges Vongerichten and the POV bar and rooftop terrace quickly became some of the hottest spots in the city. Even if the hype dies down, though, the W is supported by the enduring features that make a luxury hotel great, from the stunning design -- a tasteful marriage of historic architecture and contemporary W style -- to the soothing on-site Bliss Spa to the luxurious (albeit small) rooms.

Man, I hate this situation... most of you probably know that I am returning my Dahon Mu P8, My wife has issues with her bike as well, including slipping seatpost, so we will probably have to return both bikes... Too bad, I really liked the bike but the slipping seatpost is unacceptable, I can't stop after every 10 minutes of light riding to raise the seat, it's ridiculous. It's a $600 bike and a solid seatpost isn't too much to ask.
My biggest concern is that I am not the only Dahon owner with this problem, this issue seems to be with the Speed, the Mu SL and the Curve. I have tried to clean the seat tube the shim and the seatpost, I have applied grease between the shim and the frame, I have tried 4 different seatposts, 5 shims and 2 QR clamps- I am so worn out from trying to fix this and generally speaking, I just had enough.
Basically, I really like the Mu SL, but what if I will have this problem with the seatpost, I really feel that maybe it's time to checkout a Brompton....although more expensive but maybe will be hassle free...
I have checked Bike Friday, I don't like the concept... I don't care if it takes 5 second or 30 second to fold the bike. I want it to be light, small and manageable, the Brompton looks like my only choice here.
Original budget was $600 but I guess I will have to invest some more in order to get something better.
Any suggestions ?


text: I see your point now, if you really think there's a "perfect" score, and you want to achieve it, it's rather annoying that you have to practice over and over, and then uninstall and reinstall the game just so you can attempt it. That doesn't really have anything to do with leaderboards, it's equally true if you're trying to get the best score you can just for your own satisfaction. It's the reference to the leaderboards that confused me, if you leave that out then the point is actually clearer.
