To those of you listing the canonical genders/alignment under "Do not want" (kehe), you might as well bite the bullet and just start accepting it now. Since it's been announced, Lucasarts has made every attempt possible to ram their decision down the fan-base's throat, by publishing it in every official source where they could squeeze in a mention of it (Come on, like the nameless Jedi Exile has any place being mentioned in a book about
for God's sake). Do you think they would hesitate for a second to finalize it in the third game? Might as well expect that the male, human, lightside, jedi, version of this game is also going to become canonized when all is said and done.
That being said, just like everyone I would love to see some of the possible alternate futures created by combining the last two games and their different endings, but I'm not holding my breath.
Do Want:
A development schedule longer than a year. I'm more than willing to wait for a complete product.
Mass Effect's breath taking graphics.
Mass Effect's character creation process, combining a multitude of physical appearances as well as background story.
Mass Effect's style of seemless dialogue options and full PC voice overs. (Are you seeing a pattern here yet?)
Cameos. Bring back Carth, Bastila, and the entire gang from both games. I don't care how, just make it happen.
Do Not Want:
A new style of play. Tweek it if you must, but KotOR is an RPG, let's keep it that way.
George Lucas to stand anywhere within 500 feet of development. Seriously, everything the man touches now turns into...well, the Phantom Menace. Let the fine men and women of Bioware handle things from here, and go back to profiting off it.
Grey Jedis. Just...no.

With childhood obesity hovering around 17% according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Childhood Overweight and Obesity page, the physical activity of our children is something we parents should be concerned with on a daily basis.
While most homeschoolers opt to not follow the exact academic curriculum of regular public or private schools, we should however, be interested in having our kids participate in some kind of physical fitness activity daily. Whether it be nature hikes, bike rides around the neighborhood, swim lessons, or other, even homeschoolers should get their kids moving and physically fit.
As a homeschooler myself, I know the challenges that many of us face getting our kids out there and moving around. We have the education of our children to attend to that oftentimes includes kids of different age levels and abilities, we have regular home requirements such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc, and if that's not enough, the call of staying in our pajamas just because we want to is sometimes too strong to ignore. Yet, just as these everyday challenges appear in our life, so is the challenge to keep our kids healthy and safe. Being physically fit is one of those challenges.
This year Corpus Christi homeschoolers have options outside of the home to help parents meet their physical education goals for their children.
- The Corpus Christi Athletic Club is offering a physical education course for B.E.A.C.H. area homeschoolers as well as homeschoolers in SHHE Catholic group only. Classes are being offered for a 4 week trial period with one class being offered per week. Prices vary depending on the number of children participating. The deadline for this program is August 26, 2010 and begins on September 16, 2010 from 2-3 pm. Participants in the program must be a member of either one of these two groups. Contact either the B.E.A.C.H. Homeschool Group or the SHHE Catholic Homeschool Group for more information.
- Arts of Defense is offering a Martial Fitness Program. It is a Christian Martial Arts based program which provides students with a way to become physically fit and meet Physical Fitness requirements at the same time. The program is designed specifically for homeschoolers. Classes are offered Monday through Thursday. The program is based on attending class at least two times per week. Children in the Martial Fitness program interact with peers two to four times per week during classes and have the opportunity to meet new friends at events such as day camp, movie nights, parents night out, sleepovers, summer camp and tournaments put on by Arts of Defense regularly. For more information on the Martial Fitness Homeschool Program, please call (361)723-0418 or e-mail Master Kevin Roberts at email@example.com.
Obviously the physical activity level of our children is something we as parents must monitor, but it helps that there are programs out there that offer an avenue of helping us to ensure our kids stay active regularly.

Three of the last four UA-WSU games in the Palouse have been decided by four points or less with two going into overtime.
The Rankings: ? Arizona is unranked in both polls for the sixth consecutive week.? For the season, the Wildcats have been ranked in either or both the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today Coachesˇ? Top 25 polls in eight of 16 polling periods this season.
Arizona Head Coach Lute Olson . . . ?will begin his 25th season at Arizona and his 35th overall as a college head coach with a career record of 780-280 (.736) and 589-187 (.759) at Arizona upon his return from a leave of absence, which was announced on Nov. 4 ...

In his collegiate career, Olson has produced 52 NBA Draft picks, including 31 at Arizona ?C 25 alone since 1990 ... Heˇ?s led UA to 20 consecutive 20-win seasons and has 29 overall in his career, making him one of only three head coaches in NCAA history to record 29 or more 20-win seasons...?Under Olson, the Cats are 344-40 (.896) in McKale Center and have won 272 of its last 296 home games ... He is assisted by Kevin Oˇ?Neill, Josh Pastner and Miles Simon.
Last Time Out: ? Sloppy play and too much Washington depth proved to be Arizonaˇ?s downfall as the Cats lost for the fourth time in the last five games, 75-66, at Washington on Thursday.? UA turned it over 17 times, including 10 in the first half, and shot just 38.9 percent from the field. Washington played nine players at least 13 minutes and eight of those scored at least five points apiece as the UW bench outscored UAˇ?s 23-3.? Jerryd Bayless (22) and Jawann McClellan (19) combined for 41 points, be the remainder of the Wildcat offense was largely ineffective.
Scouting Washington State: ? The Cougars enter play Saturday with a 21-5 record (9-5 Pac-10) following Thursdayˇ?s 59-47 win over Arizona State.? Through 26 games, Washington State averages 67.3 points per game, shoots 48.5 percent (609-of-1,255), and posts a +1.5 rebound margin per game.? Opponents shoot 41.5 percent from the floor and are outscored by an average of 12.1 points per game.? Individually, four WSU players average in double figures, led by Derrick Low, who averages 13.8 points? per game.? Aron Baynes leads the club with a 5.9 rebounds per game average.
The Series: ? Tonightˇ?s game is the 63rd meeting of the two schools with Arizona holding a 49-13 series advantage.? Arizona has won 42 of the last 45 meetings in the series, which dates back to Dec. 22, 1959, including the last one, 76-64 on Jan. 24 in Tucson. All-time, Arizona is 24-7 in series games played in Tucson, 20-6 in Pullman, Wash., and 5-0 in neutral-site games. See page 102 of the UA media guide for more series information.
Last Meeting: ??Arizona 76, Washington State 64, Jan. 24, 2008: ? Arizona placed four players in double figures, shot 55.0 percent from the field and earned a 12-point win over sixth-ranked Washington State.? Led by Jerryd Bayless (23) and Chase Budinger (22), who combined for 24 second-half points and 45 in the game, UA shot 61.1 percent (11-of-18) from the field in the second half and built as much as an 18-point lead in outscoring WSU, 42-33, in the period.? Arizona hit 20-of-23 free throws in the contest and held a 20-9 scoring advantage from the line.
In The Coaching Box: ? Prior to the Nov. 4 exhibition game, it was announced that UA head coach Lute Olson would be taking a leave of absence due to a personal matter.? It was announced on Dec. 7 that Olson would not return this season.? During this period, assistant coach Kevin Oˇ?Neill will handle the head coaching responsibilities.? Oˇ?Neill, who was tabbed as Olsonˇ?s successor on Dec. 18, has 11 seasons of experience as an NCAA Division I head coach, where he compiled a 152-165 (.479) record while at Marquette, Tennessee and Northwestern. Oˇ?Neill spent the last seven seasons in NBA circles.? During Olsonˇ?s leave of absence all games will be credited to Oˇ?Neillˇ?s coaching record.
Against Ranked Teams: ? Arizona faces 17th-ranked Washington State on the road Saturday, which marks the Wildcatsˇ? seventh game this season against a nationally ranked opponent (2 wins, 4 losses).? Tonightˇ?s game will be the first time Arizona has faced an opponent not ranked in the top 10.? Previously, UA has faced no opponent ranked lower than ninth in the polls.
Against the No. 17 Slot: ? All-time, Arizona is 4-6 (.400) against teams ranked No. 17 nationally.? In fact, the Cats have lost its last three games to the nationˇ?s 17th ranked and have not won against such a foe since 1994.? For more information on UA vs. ranked opponents, please see page 148 of the Arizona basketball media guide.
Not Quite 30: ? Freshman Jerryd Bayless saw his string of three straight games with 30 or more points end Thursday with 22 points at Washington.? The 6-foot-3 guard from Phoenix, Ariz., played a game-high 38 minutes, grabbed six rebounds, passed out four assists and blocked a shot.? On the season, Bayless is averaging 21.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game.
You know itˇ?s not your night: ? This fact became readily apparent Thursday when the Cats held Washington to just two field goals in 13 attempts in a span of 10:44 of the first half and the team managed to make up only one point on the score board.? Arizona outscored Washington 7-6 in that span.? Arizona was 3-of-6 from the floor in that span, but managed to turn it over eight times to stall any efforts at building momentum.
Inefficient: ? Prior to Thursdayˇ?s loss at Washington, Jerryd Bayless was shooting .508 (32-of-63) from the field, including .480 (12-of-25) from behind the arc, and .870 (40-of-46) from the line and averaging 29.0 points in the previous four games.? Washington did a good job of making Bayless inefficient as the freshman guard needed a career-high 19 shots (6-of-19 FG), including 1-of-7 from three-point range, and 9-of-13 shooting from the line to get 22 points.
A bit off the Mark: ? Lucky for Arizona that the club entered the week as the Pac-10ˇ?s leading three-point shooting team (.395) or the Cats would have really struggled from the field Thursday.? Against Washington, Arizona knocked down 7-of-17 (.412) field goal attempts from behind the arc, which looks even better against its .381 figure (21-of-54) overall.? Take away the long distance attempts, and the Wildcats shot just 14-of-37 (.378) from the field.? Aside from Jawann McClellan and Jordan Hill, who combined to hit 11-of-17 (.647) FG attempts, the rest of the team shot 27.0 percent.? Field goal percentage looms large for the Cats, as the team is 10-0 this season when shooting 50 percent or better from the field, and 12-0 when outshooting the opposition.? Over its last five games, UA is shooting just 41.7 percent (103-of-247) from the field.
Too Much Contact and the results to Prove it : ? One figure that has been elevated recently is UAˇ?s personal fouls.? Against Stanford, Arizona committed 19, while the Cats committed a season-high 27 Thursday at Washington.? For a team averaging 16.6 fouls per game, the added contact has just one result:? more free throws for the opposition.? In the last two games, Stanford and Washington have made 22 free throws each, while the Huskies attempted a UA opponent high 35 charity tosses Thursday.
Stepping Up : ? Senior Jawann McClellan continues to do about everything he can for this club, as the 6-foot-4 guard poured in 19 points on Thursday, his ninth double-figure effort of the year (30th career) and his second-highest point total.? McClellan knocked down 7-of-9 shots, including 4-of-5 from thee-point range, against Washington.? The seven buckets equaled a career high, while the four treys were a season high.? In the last 12 games, McClellan is shooting 49.4 percent (39-of-79) from the floor.
Double Your Pleasure: ? Sophomore Jordan Hill notched his eighth double-double of the season (11th career) Thursday with 10 points and 13 rebounds against the Huskies.? The 6-foot-10 forward from Atlanta, Ga., hit 4-of-8 shots, while four of his 13 rebounds were offensive.? Hill ranks fifth in the Pac-10 Conference with those eight double-doubles.
He is Needed on the Court: ? Whether it be his eight double-doubles, .595 field goal percentage or 1.8 blocked shots per game, Arizona needs Jordan Hill on the court.? The Wildcats are 10-1 this season when the sophomore forward plays 30 or more minutes.? In those 11 games, Hill averages 15.5 points, a figure 3.0 points higher than his overall season scoring average.
A Good Start Would Help: ? Look no further than the halftime score to get a read on the outcome, as Arizona is just 4-7 this season when trailing at the half, including a 1-4 record in road games.? Halftime leads have been hard to come by in conference play, as the Wildcats are being outscored by an average of 1.3 points per game in the first half.
In Reserve: ? While injuries might be the cause (18 games lost by starters or key reserves), the Arizona bench has taken a beating of late.? Over the last three games the UA bench has been outscored 63-5.? To put it mildly, Arizona must find some productivity from its reserves.
Just Filling Space: ? The Wildcats are just a bit better in day games than at night this season.? In games that start prior and up to 6 p.m. local time this season, Arizona carries a 7-4 (.636) record.? In games that start after 6 p.m., the Cats are 9-6 (.600).? UA is 0-1 this year in Saturday night starts this season.
Thatˇ?s Rare: ? Daniel Dillon tallied three points at Washington Thursday, which were his first points scored in six games. Additionally, Fendi Onobun recorded his first two blocked shots of the season Thursday in Seattle.
Scoring 80: ? Perhaps no statistic is more telling of UA success, as the squad is 169-19 (.899) since the start of the 1997-98 season when scoring at least 80 points.? Arizona is 7-0 this season when topping the 80-point plateau.
Early Signees: ? The Arizona coaching staff signed four student-athletes to National-Letters-of-Intent during the November early signing period.? Brandon Jennings (G, 6-0, 170) from Lakewood, Calif., Oak Hill Academy; Brendon Lavender (G, 6-4, 180) from Mesa, Ariz., Mountain View High School;? Emmanuel Negedu (F, 6-7, 230) from Bloomington, Ind., Brewster Academy; Jeff Withey (C, 6-11, 240) from San Diego, Calif., Horizon High School, will join the squad next fall.? According to rivals.com, this class was ranked as the seventh-best nationally.
Up Next: ? Following tonightˇ?s game, Arizona heads back to Tucson to host USC on Thursday, Feb. 28.? Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. MST and will be shown nationally on ESPN.

It has become the most desirable of devices. But, be honest with yourself, do you really need a tablet computer? If you need to convince yourself that you do (and that's more than likely) then aim to turn it into a serious working personal computer.
The best tablet remains Apple's iPad, which starts at £399 for the latest model although an iPad 2 is £329. Do not even think about trying to write an essay on the device as it comes — it will be an exercise in frustration trying to type thousands of words on a pane of glass.

Since 1862, the Indiana State Museum has collected thousands of pieces of Hoosier history, mystery and oddity. These objects share, teach and pass along stories and experiences from one generation to another. However, over the last 148 years, some items never made its way to the public because they never "fit in" with exhibits and remained in storage for many years.
Beginning Sept.4, the Indiana State Museum will proudly display the more than 50 whacked-out items in a new exhibit, Odd Indiana. Each unusual piece, representing science and culture, gives its own intriguing, baffling and amusing aspect of the Hoosier state and tells a unique story of what life was like in the past.
While exploring the diverse collection of interesting and authentic artifacts, documents and images, touch-screens will be on site to give a more in-depth history about particular items most intriguing. From pieces of hair art to burnt wood to old farming equipment, this is a special exhibit that is appealing due the fact that people can find at least one item to relate and speak out about no matter if they're younger or older.
A featured item in this exhibit is a Nestle Permanent Wave Machine. For only $3, women of the 1920s could get their hair curled and have it last for more than a year. All it took was four to six hours, electrified rods, chemicals and extreme heat and that person would have a head of curls. The specific machine on display was used by Mrs. Catherine Costello in her beauty shop at the Claypool Hotel in downtown Indianapolis.
The exhibit, located in the Lincoln Financial Foundation Gallery, runs during normal museum hours beginning Sept. 4 and is included with the price of admission. For more information, call 317.232.1637 or visit indianamuseum.org.

- Official Site: HotelTriton.com
- Telephone & Address: 800-800-1299 - 342 Grant Avenue, San Francisco, 94108
- Location: San Francisco, California
Pop culture is the overarching theme at the boutique Hotel Triton and, as every pop-culture demon knows, the devil is in the details. You see them right from the moment you alight from your airport taxi and walk in the front door: To the right is a decorative fountain with a statue of the Greek sea god and messenger of the deep, Triton, bathed in his signature element, water. However, swimming in the fountain is a gaggle of bright yellow rubber duckies -- you know: "Rubber ducky, you're the one…" In the small but elaborate Hollywood baroque-cum-psychedelic-styled lobby, you're greeted by a colorful mural by Kari Pei (architect I.M. Pei's daughter-in-law), depicting pop culture through the decades from art deco to hippie poster art to Japanimation.
Staff at the Triton tend to be warm, intimate (they seem genuinely interested in you and what you're there for) and, best of all, not too serious. In fact, their name tags each feature their pop alter ego -- you may be assisted by a Bruce Lee or even an Angelina Jolie. Located a fortune-cookie's throw from famed Chinatown gate, the hotel is smack in the middle of San Francisco's shopping district, within easy strolling distance of Union Square and the cable cars, the North Beach Italian district and the French Quarter, home to some of San Francisco's best French dining. The Embarcadero waterfront and the refurbished Ferry Building -- with its dozens of gourmet food stalls -- is just a short ride away on one of Market Street's historic "F-Line" streetcars. The Triton's room service is cooked up by Café de la Press, next door. The Café, which doubles as a newsstand, is a favorite among San Francisco natives. Just around the corner is Le Central, where the city's movers and shakers make deals over lunch and games of liar's dice.
Occupying a historic building, the Kimpton Group has reimagined the Triton around the existing architecture and interior (read: small). The hotel's bathrooms reflect this. They're not the expansive luxury water temples you'd find in, say, Vegas, with whirlpools and three-headed showers. They're small and functional, but not a place where your girl will want to spend an afternoon luxuriating in a rose-petal soak. The rooms themselves are nicely furnished with complimentary wines and chocolates, and hand-blown Italian glass light fixtures. The hotel also features a number of custom rooms designed in conjunction with pop culture icons like Jerry Garcia, Graham Nash and (our fave) Kathy Griffin, whose shoes are on display. There's even a Häagen-Dazs room with its own ice cream fridge. If you're into the whole eco-tourist thing, there's A Happy Planet's Organic Haven, floored in natural bamboo and offering environmentally friendly bedding and furnishings. The Triton also offers some fun goings-on, including a Wednesday night wine tasting where you can play the Wii while your gal gets a tarot reading to see whether you're really worth putting up with.

BERKELEY - In a dramatic conclusion to the 2013 season, freshman John Soteropulos led off the bottom of the 12th inning with a double and later scored on freshman Mitchell Kranson's single to left field to lift Cal to a 3-2 extra-inning victory over Gonzaga Monday night at Evans Diamond.
The Golden Bears garnered their fifth extra-inning win of the season and their sixth walk-off victory to finish the 2013 campaign 23-31, defeating a Gonzaga squad that is now 32-19-1 and winners of the West Coast Conference regular season league title.
Cal was able to win the game when Soteropulos, who had entered the game as a defensive replacement at second base in the 11th inning, led off the 12th with a double down the right field line off of Gonzaga reliever Karl Myers for his first collegiate hit. Andrew Knapp was then intentionally walked and Devon Rodriguez sacrificed Soteropulos and Knapp to third base and second base with a bunt. Kranson followed with a single to left field off of Derek Peterson to finish the evening 3-for-6 with the game-winning RBI.
Freshman left-hander Jake Schulz (1-2) picked up the win for the Bears, throwing the final 1.2 innings with no hits, no runs, three walks and three strikeouts.
Cal scored the game's first run in the second inning when Rodriguez led-off with a double and ended up scoring on sophomore shortstop Chris Paul's sacrifice fly to left field. The Bulldogs tied the game, 1-1, with an unearned run in the sixth inning off of Bear freshman right-hander Collin Monsour (5.0 innings, five hits, one unearned run, no walks, two strikeouts).
Gonzaga took a 2-1 lead in the 10th inning when Cory Lebrum had an RBI double off of Cal sophomore right-hander Keaton Siomkin (4.1 innings, three hits, one run, two walks, three strikeouts), but the Bears were able to scratch a run in the bottom of the 10th when freshman center fielder Devin Pearson had a one-out single and eventually scored on a Gonzaga wild pitch.
"Our guys played hard this season and fought to the end," said Cal coach David Esquer. "It was a fun game and it was great to see John Soteropulos get his first collegiate hit at such an important situation. It was a nice way to end the season. Our team didn't just go through the motions, they competed all the way through and were able to defeat a quality team that had won the WCC."

DeKALB, Ill. - The Northern Illinois women's basketball team suffered a hard-fought loss to Toledo on Saturday afternoon at the NIU Convocation Center as UT's Andola Dortch sank a last-second shot to avenge being upset in the same building a year ago as the defending 2009-10 Mid-American Conference champions.
The league's pre-season pick to win the MAC West, Toledo (9-7, 2-2 MAC) escaped with a win this time around thanks in part to an unfortunate ending for NIU. After Dortch banked in a tough fade-away shot from the left block with 21 seconds left to give the Rockets a 48-47 lead, the Huskies (6-10, 0-4 MAC) called timeout to set up a potential game-winning play. The play that was dialed up resulted in a decent look for Claire Jakubicek (Cary, Ill./Cary-Grove) but her driving layup from the left side just rimmed out. Satavia Taylor (Bolingbrook, Ill./Bolingbrook/Loyola) grabbed the board and threw up a tough over-the-shoulder layup from the right side to no avail and Toledo grabbed the board.
Following a quick NIU foul, Dortch made the first free throw but missed the second and the ball deflected out of bounds off of Toledo with 4.8 seconds left. Out of another timeout, the Huskies inbounded the ball to Taylor near half court but the ball went through her hands right to a Rocket player and Toledo ran out the clock.
"We wanted to throw it up to half court and blast," said NIU Head Coach Kathi Bennett. "If we catch it there, we can make a play -- drive and kick, drive and get a foul, anything. That play didn't lose us the game. It's not on Satavia. We had chances earlier in the game to make it not come down to that. I thought we deserved this game but that's life. It's not always fair."
All was not lost on that one play, however. Despite NIU's losing streak being pushed to six games, the Huskies showed glaring signs of improvement on the parts of their game that had been hampering them during this rough patch.
In almost every of the last five games, NIU fell behind early and had to play catch-up the rest of the game to dig out of a hole. Against Toledo, it was the Huskies who came out firing as they opened up an 11-4 lead to being the game. Toledo responded with an 11-0 run right after to take the lead, but NIU never let the Rockets get too far in front. The largest lead NIU had to deal with was a five-point edge.
"Down the stretch, we missed some good shots but the effort was there," Bennett said. "There were five or six times where we'd be down by five and we made an unbelievable play to get back. I felt like that happened at least five times in the game and I am very proud of the way we fought back each time."
Over the past five games, the Huskies had also been averaging 21.8 turnovers per game. Versus the Rockets, NIU only turned the ball over 12 times.
"I thought we were the best we've been offensively," Bennett said. "We took care of the ball and did a good job of moving the ball. We went through cold stretches. We were stuck on 11 forever. If we can eliminate those cold stretches we will be better."
Prior to the go-ahead shot for Toledo, the Huskies had erased a late five-point deficit with a layup from Jakubicek and two free throws from Amanda Corral (Hobart, Ind./Hobart). Then, Jakubicek nailed a jumper from the left wing to put NIU ahead 47-46 with 2:07 remaining.
Jakubicek led NIU in scoring for the second straight game as she scored 15 points. Combined with her 12-point performance at Ball State, she is averaging 10.5 points per game in MAC play.
Courtney Shelton (Rockford, Ill./Hononegah) and Corral each scored in double figures as well. Shelton turned in 13 points, while Corral had 11 and a team-high seven rebounds.
The Huskies return to action with a road trip to Kalamazoo, Mich., for a 6 PM CT meeting with Western Michigan on Thursday, January 19.

There are a lot of people interested in the nutritional value of veggie milks which have been appearing more often in the supermarkets these days. Plant based or vegetable milks are an alternative to conventional yogurts, reported Asociación RUVID, via AlphaGalileo on Jan. 3, 2014. The non dairy milk products are specially developed for people who have allergies to cow's milk, lactose or gluten intolerance, as well as children and pregnant women.
Researchers at the Universitat Politècnica de València and the University College of Dublin have been investigating new products which are fermented with probiotic bacteria from grains and nuts. These are known as plant based or vegetable milks and are an alternative to conventional yogurts. These researchers have worked with almonds, oats and hazelnuts. They will and soon also be evaluating the use of walnuts and chestnuts as raw materials for these new products.
In vitro studies which have been done show how some of these products developed have anti-inflammatory properties in intestine cells. This could alleviate allergic reactions caused by food while increasing the bioavailability of iron. The caseins which are in cow's milk as well as being on the list of allergens components, also undermine the absorption of iron. Chelo González, a researcher at the Universitat Politècnica de València, has said, "The results we have obtained also show that the milks studied are a good matrix for the growth and viability of probiotic bacteria for the lifetime of the product, especially after their intake."
If you have decided to forget the dairy in your diet, your body may very well be healthier, reports One Green Planet. About 30 to 50 million Americans are lactose intolerant. Also, the consumption of dairy products has been linked to many health problems, including an increased risk of ovarian and prostate cancers, ear infections and diabetes.
It's therefore good to see plant based milks can provide a convenient and healthy alternative to cow's milk. There are a lot of good choices for these products on the market which you may want to check out, including vegetable milks made from soy, almond, hemp, coconut, rice milks, and others. It's certainly worth giving these alternative veggie milks a try. They really are aside from being nutritious, also delicious.

There is some wear as to be expected but overall it is in very good condition. A collectible yes but also an exceptional player, one of the best sounding Dobros we've had in the shop.

Microsoft Japan has revealed that the Xbox One will finally be hitting shelves in Japan on September 4th, 2014. This news comes via Famitsu, which states that 48 gaming companies will support the next generation system for that region. Some of the more popular Japanese developers will be key in the success of the Xbox One. Capcom, Bandai Namco, SNK Playmore, and Tecmo Koei should bring premium content as hopes to gain popularity for the system in that region is key for Microsoft.
The Xbox 360 did not sell very well over seas in Japan during its tenure. Microsoft aims to change that by maintaining the launch lineup and promising the games that have already been released. Forza Motorsport 5, Dead Rising 3, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, and Titanfall will all eventually see releases as the system will be playing catch-up with the already well-established Sony PlayStation 4.
Microsoft has launched its Xbox One in 13 countries worldwide since its initial launch in November 2013, and it aims to double that to 26 countries, one of which includes Japan. No price has been announced for the system along with no word on whether or not the Kinect 2.0 will be mandatory. Stay tuned for more information involving the Japanese release of the Xbox One.

Viktoria Tolstoy: Dialogue
Viktoria Tolstoy (vocals)
My Swedish Heart (ACT 9705-2)
Viktoria Tolstoy (vocals), Nils Landgren (vocals, trombone),
Bror Falk (piano), Christian Spering (bass), Wolfgang Haffner (drums).
Composed and arranged by Esbj—rn Svensson.
Recorded: Gothenberg, Sweden. March 6, 2003.
Rating: 87/100 (learn more)
There is warmth to this pretty ballad duet written by Esbj—rn Svensson. The clear-voiced Tolstoy and the raspier-toned Landgren have a kinship that is immediately felt in the performance. During his early career, Svensson left the jazz community to work as a freelance pop songwriter and synth player for groups appearing on Swedish television. This one has some of the accessibility and, dare I say, catchiness that aren't found in much of the music written for the instrumental adventures of e.s.t.

Things We Like: Avocado Toast with Vegenaise
Gwyneth Paltrow has given the world a great deal during her time on this earth. She won an Academy Award in a movie about a girl and a poet guy in a different era. She acted alongside Jack Black in this other movie about someone who could not see very well and may have needed glasses. She holds the distinction of being simultaneously the most beautiful and yet most hated woman in the world.
She is married to Chris Martin of Coldplay, whose music was better when he was sad and Gwyneth-less. Maybe they were all sadder people pre-Paltrow.
I don't blame them.
One of her children is a crunchy fruit and the other a biblical figure.
She was engaged to Brad Pitt.
And while all those things vary on the "importance scale" in all of our lives, Gwyneth throws down the gauntlet with the single greatest contribution to quick-eating in the history of eating quickly. AVOCADO TOAST.
AVOCADO + TOAST!!!!! and Vegenaise and other things..WOW.
In her book "It's All Good", GP leaves a nice little section for the snack / meal she 'eats the most'. She likes it so much she even has a picture of her making it next to a picture of the actual food item. There are a lot of those in her book, but this one covers two pages, so obviously she is trying to say something. Whatever she is saying, I am hearing. It is so good.
The premise is simple.
-A good piece of toast (Gwyneth uses gluten-free bread, and we have noticed that it toasts very well, so we do the same)
-A slathering of Vegenaise (if you aren't familiar with it then get familiar with it)
-Lemon juice (not totally necessary but nice)
And that's it. The result, as Gwyneth so delicately puts it, is a "holy-trinity" of avocado, Vegenaise, and salt that is ridiculous to eat.
We tend to go a couple of steps further and make the base into an open-faced sandwich by adding cheese and some sliced meat. I don't think Gwyneth would approve of that step but…ok.
We appreciate you, Gwyneth, even if the world doesn't.
Comments (2)
This looks amazing! I make this sandwich all the time! Great photos too 🙂
Thank you!

About a week after it was speculated that Christine Chiu, wife of Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Gabriel Chiu, was joining "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" after she was spotted hanging out with Brandi Glanville while cameras filmed, another article has come out claiming that she is indeed in the running to join the show.
A source told Radar Online, according to its article posted on Friday, June 13, that Christine is "definitely in the running" to join the show because she leads the lifestyle that the producers are looking for. The lifestyle that the producers are looking for is probably one of pure luxury, such as that of current housewives Lisa Vanderpump and Yolanda Foster and former housewives Camille Grammer and Adrienne Maloof.
From the looks of the couple's Twitter account, it does seem as if they live a very glamorous and luxurious life. They are many photos of the couple out and about, attending charity events, movie premieres and other exclusive events. Christine always looks immaculate, glammed up from head to toe.
When she was filmed with Brandi Glanville at West Hollywood's Vampire Lounge & Tasting Room earlier in the month, she wore a low-cut and skin-tight dress with stiletto gladiator pumps. Her hair, makeup and nails were completely done. After hanging out with Brandi, she left in her black Ferrari with a custom license plate.
Yet while she has the looks and lifestyle to fit in with the Beverly Hills housewives, it seems that there is something missing because the source also revealed that it's the third time that Christine is being tested. The source explained that producers are trying to figure out which "team" she'll be on, probably meaning if she'll be on Lisa Vanderpump's or Brandi Glanville's team, and what kind of storylines she'll have if she does join.
However, Christine Chiu has seemingly denied that she's joining "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" or is in consideration for it. A few hours after it was revealed that she met up with Brandi with cameras in tow, she tweeted that "it's all rumors."

Flames Defeat Milwaukee 3-1 to Advance to Postseason
Nov. 5, 2011
2011 Horizon League Tournament Bracket Craig Krzyskowski scored two goals, while classmates Nermin Dautovic and Eric Frazier each added an assist, leading to a 3-1 win over Milwaukee, and propelling the Flames into next week's Horizon League Men's Soccer Tournament.
With the win, UIC finishes the regular season with a 9-6-3 (3-4-1 Horizon) record, and will enter the tournament as the No. 5 seed. The Flames will travel to No. 4 Green Bay on Tuesday; game time is yet to be determined. Milwaukee ends the year with a 6-10-2 mark (2-4-2) and was eliminated from postseason contention.
"This team has battled all year long, even though we encountered a tough stretch in the last 12-to-14 days," said head coach Sean Phillips. "Tonight, I think our guys re-discovered some of the things that we working for us back in September. I think there was something extra about it, being senior night.
"Eric (Frazier) found Craig (Krzyskowski) for the first goal, and then Nermin (Dautovic) tallies the assist off the corner kick on our second goal. Craig drops back to the center back position and then finds the back of the net to finish the game off. This is our seniors' last run; everyone else has another crack at it next year. All the credit goes to our seniors tonight."
Krzyskowski, who started the second half, got the Flames on the scoreboard in the 57th minute (56:28), playing a ball from Frazier on 2 vs. 1 opportunity - he beat Milwaukee goalkeeper John Shakon to the near post, scoring his second goal of the season.
Ivan Stanisavljevic scored the eventual game-winner just over five minutes later (61:47), scoring off a corner kick by Dautovic - it marked Stanisavljevic's league-leading 10th goal of the season, including his third game-winning goal. Dautovic tallied his second assist of the campaign in his final game at Flames Field.
Milwaukee sliced the lead in half (2-1) in the 77th minute (76:05), after James Ashcroft received the ball from 25 yards out, and beat UIC goalkeeper Piotr Kikolski. UIC then added insurance at the 81:07 mark, with Krzyskowski scoring his second goal of the match. He finished top shelf after an opportunistic cross from Slobodan Aleksov, who was subbed into the game to replace Dautovic.
Milwaukee held a 15-9 advantage in the shots department, but Kikolski turned away four of those shots, as he collected his ninth win of the season. Frazier attempted a team-high three shots for UIC, while Krzyskowski and Stanisavljevic each took two. Keegan Ziada attempted a team-high three shots for Milwaukee.
"We found a way to win tonight, and hopefully that springs us forward," Phillips said. "Playing at Green Bay is going to be no easy task. We've been in this position before; we were in a similar situation in 2007, and found a way. Hopefully we have some of that same strength as we enter the postseason."

text: Close Top 30 Hockey Names of All Time 0 0 More 0 0 0 View Gallery Next Previous Next Harry Scull Jr./Getty Images Zarley Zalapski The Vancouver Province has published its list of the 50 best names in hockey, all current, ( Click here ), so we thought we'd choose our favorite 30 of all time that evoke hockey or simply please with their color. Note: This list does not include nicknames. For the best of those, try this gallery ( Click here ). And now we begin at the end of the alphabet with a double dose of Zs from the journeyman defenseman who of the late 1980s and through the '90s. Honorable mention: Zenon Kenopka 1|30 Lou Capozzola/SI Ziggy Palffy Hard not to love a guy named Ziggy (short for Zigmund), who enjoyed a star turn with the Islanders and Kings during the '90s and into the 2000s before concluding with the Penguins. 2|30 Lou Capozzola/SI Garth Snow A winter classic. Plain and simple. 3|30 Lou Capozzola/SI Ulf Samuelsson A guy named Ulf just sounds mean, and this Swedish blueliner of the '80s and '90s (seen here as a Ranger) surely was. 4|30 Bruce Bennett Studios/Getty Images Dave Snuggerud A perfect name for a checking winger. The former Sabre-Shark-Flyer of the '90s sounded kind of cuddly in a rugged sort of way... 5|30 Bruce Bennett Studios/Getty Images Dick Duff NASCAR had Dick Trickle, the Hall of Fame has former Canadiens winger Dick Duff. Honorable mention: Mike Hurlbut, Bruce Shoebottom 6|30 Al Tielemans/SI Daren Puppa Continuing in our thoroughly childish vein, with a name pronounced Poo-pa , this fellow's better found in the net than on the rug. 7|30 David E. Klutho/SI Sergei Krivokrasov Our favorite among Russian names, the former winger (Blackhawks, Predators, Flames, Wild, Mighty Ducks) reminds us of a cosmonaut, although his NHL career was hardly stellar. 8|30 Walter Iooss Jr./SI Yvan Cournoyer Wide open to interpretation by announcers -- Eye-van Korn-noy-err , Ee-vohn Corn-why-ay , Eye-van Cornwire and all points in between -- the great Canadiens forward was probably best referred to by his nickname: The Roadrunner. 9|30 John G. Zimmerman/SI Terry Sawchuk Hockey has its share of great "chuks" -- Ilya Kovalchuk, Darcy Hordichuk, Keith Tkachuk, Dale Hawerchuk, and Gene Achtymichuk among them -- but this Hall of Famer's name was cutting edge. 10|30 Darren Carroll/SI Janne Niinimaa We nominate this Finnish defenseman as the leader of the vowel movement. Honorable mention: Hexi Riihiranta, Pete Peeters 11|30 Brian Miller/Getty Images Larry Playfair You can only ask as much from anyone, although this bruising blueliner did have a pugnacious streak. "I remember my mom telling me 'You've got to learn to control your temper," Playfair once told Sabres magazine. "I'd get mad really quick about stupid things, I mean anything. I remember once, (in midget hockey) we lost a playoff game, and we were going down the line, shaking hands, and I just drilled a kid right in the head, I was just so mad." 12|30 Steve Babineau/NHLI via Getty Images Lindy Ruff Just like the sport he played as a defenseman for the Sabres and Rangers (1979-91) and coaches in Buffalo. 13|30 Steve Babineau/NHLI via Getty Images John Van Boxmeer The former Canadiens, Rockies, Sabres and Nordiques blueliner (1973-84) just summons to mind the fistic side of the game...or the penalty box where he spent a relatively modest 465 minutes during his NHL career. Steve Kraftcheck sounds like he belonged in there, too. 14|30 Rick Stewart/Getty Images Hnat Domenichelli The former Whalers-Flames-Thrashers-Wild center's first name fits nicely in the eye chart department with Mariusz Czerkawski while his last ranks with such Italian pleasers as Fernando Pisani, Carlo Colaiacovo and Dino Ciccarelli... 15|30 Andy Devlin/NHLI via Getty Images Colton Orr Not the most famous Orr, but surely the leader of the tweed jacket pricey prep school set that includes Forbes Kennedy and Hartland Monahan. 16|30 IHA/Icon SMI Edouard Lalonde The Hall of Fame center's name is the epitome of French-Canadian elegance -- like Jean Beliveau, Rogatien Vachon or Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond -- and his nickame was pretty cool, too: "Newsy" for his having worked in a newsprint plant. 17|30 David E. Klutho/SI Jordin Tootoo This hardnosed winger hardly wears one -- a ballet outfit, we mean -- so we give him the edge over the other notable oo's that include Jonathan Cheechoo, Derek Boogaard, Pat Falloon, and Per Djoos. 18|30 Bruce Bennett Studios/Getty Images Alf Pike A Ranger forward of the 1940s, Pike sounds like he'd put your head on one. Honorable mention: Ted Speers. 19|30 John Iacono/SI Garth Butcher This blueliner (1982-95) sounds serial-killer tough. 20|30 Bill Wippert/SI Miroslav Satan Though his last name is actually pronounced "Sha-tahn", it looked devishly good on the back of his sweater. 21|30 Lou Capozzola/SI Darius Kasparaitis A painful affliction, like what you'd get after one of the Lithuanian defenseman's punishing checks... 22|30 Lou Capozzola/SI Jeff Beukeboom Perhaps the most evocative name as far as hitting and fighting go belongs to this former Oilers and Rangers blueliner. Honorable mention: Fred Boimistruck 23|30 Lou Capozzola/SI Brad Bombardir A defensive pairing of Bombardir (here with the Wild) and Beukeboom would have been positively explosive... 24|30 Lou Capozzola/SI Radek Bonk There's something cartoonishly evocative about this one. (The Czech center was Ottawa's first pick (third overall) in the 1994 entry draft.) Honorable mention: Bart Crashley, Ron Schock 25|30 Bruce Bennett Studios/Getty Images Hakan Loob The notable Flames forward of the 1980s made you think of greasy speed or the kind of nasty chest cold you get from hanging around rinks. 26|30 AP Bill Quackenbush Too bad the Ducks weren't around in the 1940s and '50s, or this Hall of Fame blueliner and his brother Max would have been naturals... 27|30 Elsa/Getty Images Tony Twist A notorious enforcer, his name made it sound like he'd twist your head off. Honorable mention: Morris Titanic 28|30 John W. McDonough/SI Jonathan Quick Simply a great name for a goaltender. Too bad that Patrick Sharp isn't one. 29|30 Bruce Bennett Studios/Getty Images Sprague Cleghorn The Hall of Fame defenseman summons to mind the cartoon character Foghorn Leghorn, but was considerably nastier, and the horn in his last name evokes goals by the home team and the end of play in the period. Honorable mention in the sound effects department: Ville Siren, Aubrey Clapper 30|30 Next up NFL Drew Brees, SI's Sportsman of the Year, has had quite a prolific NFL career. Here's a look at some of the highlights in numbers, beginning with his 5.069 passing yards in 2008, which made him only the second NFL quarterback, after Dan Marino, to throw for over 5,000 yards in a single season. That same year, he also threw a career-high 34 touchdowns passes. 10 Drew Brees by the Numbers December 20, 2010 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More Recommended Galleries NHL Loui Eriksson, LW — 2016 stats: 82 GP, 30 G, 33 A, 63 PTS, +13 28 Top NHL Free Agents of 2016 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More NHL Conor Sheary, an undrafted 5' 8", 175-pound winger out of New Hampshire put his elite hockey sense, quick feet and world-class shot to good use in Game 2 of the 2016 Stanley Cup Final when he became just the fifth rookie in history to score an overtime winner. Bryan Rust, a spare part during his first two NHL seasons, found unexpected postseason success after he was slotted alongside Evgeni Malkin on Pittsburgh's explosive second line. The 24-year-old winger became the team's closeout specialist, scoring twice to help the Pens clinch their first-round series against the Rangers, then tallying both Game 7 goals that eliminated the Lightning in the Eastern Conference Final. 16 Unlikely NHL Playoff Heroes 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More NHL Nick Bonino celebrates with teammates after scoring the winning goal against San Jose with 2:33 remaining in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final. 23 Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More

Charitable remainder annuity trust
You or others you name receive a set annual income for a specified term or for life. The remaining assets then support the Library.

Though traveling to Vanderbilt Beach in Naples Florida is not exactly a day trip from Indianapolis, it is a trip you can make in one day if you drive straight through. It is about an 18 hour drive from downtown Indianapolis to downtown Naples. I'm not recommending you drive straight through unless you have several drivers, and make sure that someone always stays awake with the driver. It is a very long drive and usually better if you plan an overnight stay on the way to Naples and on the way back.
There are lots of things to do when you get to Naples. My favorite is to be on the beach and we were fortunate to be invited to stay in a condo right on Vanderbilt Beach. Vanderbilt Beach is beautiful and the sunsets are some of the prettiest I've ever seen. I often spend hours just sitting on the sand watching the waves roll in.
It is great exercise to walk in the sand and you will see many people walking, and even some running, early in the morning and evening. A good idea is to take lots of sunscreen and chap stick and to keep applying it to avoid your lips being burnt. The one thing you don't want to do is get sunburned. A hat, flip flops, a beach umbrella, sunglasses and a water bottle are nice to have as well.
Vanderbilt Beach is also a great place to find seashells. If you get up early in the morning, usually you can find a lot of them. Just take a leisurely stroll along the shoreline with a plastic pail or a bag to keep your finds in.
The hotels along the beach looked very nice and I am sure they would be nice places to stay. It is so great being able to just walk outside and be on the beach. You don't have to worry about parking and carrying lots of things with you. The hotels I saw also provided chairs and umbrellas for their guests.
Whether you are looking like a nice long trip, or an escape from your everyday life, Naples is an excellent destination for someone of any age. I definitely recommend Naples, Florida as a wonderful destination.

No. 11 Stanford Cardinal (18-2, 8-2 Pac-12)
- vs. -
No. 6 California Golden Bears (20-4, 10-0 Pac-12)
NCAA Championships – Round of 16
Thursday, May 15 – 9 a.m. PT
Dan Magill Tennis Complex
Weather Forecast: 70 degrees, humid with thunderstorms
STANFORD, Calif.- No. 11 Stanford (18-2, 8-2 Pac-12), will be making its 29th consecutive postseason appearance in the NCAA Championships round of 16 when competition gets underway Thursday morning in Athens, Ga.
Stanford, which defeated Texas A&M to capture last year's NCAA championship, has won 17 of the 32 possible NCAA team titles and captured 18 national championships overall when including the 1978 AIAW crown. The Cardinal owns a 131-16 record in the postseason since the NCAA Tournament went to its present format in 1982.
Despite its status as the most storied program in college tennis, it might be surprising to note that Stanford has become familiar with starting the postseason in an underdog role. Believe it or not, the Cardinal has entered NCAA's seeded higher than fifth only once (No. 1 in 2011) over the last six years. Stanford won the 2010 NCAA championship as the No. 8 seed and last year became the lowest-seeded team at No. 12 to win an NCAA title.
Off to Athens, Georgia for the rest of NCAA's! Let's do this ladies! #GoStanford @StanfordWTennis @taylor_lee44 @kristieahn @ameliaherring✈
— Carol Zhao (@CarolZhao95) May 12, 2014
Now the action heats up this weekend in steamy Athens, Ga., as the nation's top 16 teams remain in the hunt for a national championship. Stanford's next hurdle will be No. 6 California, as the Pac-12 powerhouses square off for a spot in the quarterfinals.
With that said, here are five storylines heading into this weekend's competition.
| Carbon Copy Of Last Year
Thursday's rubber match against California (20-4, 10-0 Pac-12) is already being hyped by many national tennis pundits as the best matchup in the round of 16. Ironically, this contest shapes up almost exactly like last year's five-hour NCAA round of 16 clash against USC, in which Stanford prevailed 4-3. The similarities are striking. USC was seeded No. 5, entered the match having won 15 in a row and finished conference play 9-0 to claim the Pac-12 title. One of those league wins was a 6-1 rout of Stanford in Los Angeles. Fast forward to this year, where California is seeded No. 6, riding a 14-match winning streak and clinched its first-ever Pac-12 championship with a 10-0 mark. These teams met twice in the regular season with Stanford pocketing a 5-2 triumph in Berkeley on March 8, only to see California prevail 6-1 on The Farm on April 19 in the regular-season finale for both teams.
- - - - - - - - - -
| A Closer Look At No. 6 California
Conference matchups are often unavoidable when you reach the round of 16, and there will be absolutely no surprises here. In this case, California is loaded with enough talent to contend for the national title. Yes, these teams split their two regular-season matchups, but the Golden Bears must feel like they have all the momentum after snatching a 6-1 victory at Taube Family Tennis Stadium during the final match of the regular season. But this is the postseason and Stanford has been in this spot before (see last year against USC). How will the Golden Bears handle the pressure that comes along with being the favorite? California boasts six top-100 players in its lineup and four have earned berths in the NCAA Championships. Denise Starr, Zsofi Susanyi and Anett Schutting are interchangeable at the top of the lineup while the back courts are stacked with Lynn Chi, Klara Fabikova and Maegan Manasse.
- - - - - - - - - -
| Ahn Anchors The Cardinal
Points are at a premium in the postseason, so you start to analyze matchups within lineups and figure out where the "automatics" are coming from. For Stanford this year, it's been Kristie Ahn. Nobody questioned Ahn's credentials as a No. 1 in the lineup: providing the clinching point in a national championship match clearly allows you to check that box. But the loss of back-to-back NCAA singles champion Nicole Gibbs, who elected to turn pro, left a sizeable void at the top of the lineup. Ahn has filled it. Ranked No. 3 in the nation, Ahn is 26-3 overall, 14-2 in duals and 17-2 against nationally-ranked opponents while capturing singles titles at the ITA Northwest Regional Championships and NCTC Classic. The unquestioned leader of a young Cardinal squad, Ahn is playing quality tennis and she won't encounter a bigger moment than last year's NCAA title match. Oh, by the way, Ahn is 12-2 in her career against Cal opponents, and has already beaten five of the six players in the Golden Bear lineup this year.

| Find A Better Rookie Trio
You'd be hard-pressed to find a better trio of freshmen than the highly-touted group of Taylor Davidson, Caroline Doyle and Carol Zhao. The talented rookies have combined for a 78-17 overall record in singles and have looked equally impressive doing it. Zhao has slid right in at the No. 3 spot, ranked No. 21 in the country with a 26-5 overall record and 17-1 mark in duals while compiling a 17-match win streak that spanned nearly four months. Davidson is a powerful hitter at the No. 4 spot, ranked No. 50 with a 22-7 overall record and 14-3 dual match ledger. Those "automatics" we mentioned earlier? Caroline Doyle would classify at the No. 6 position, ranked No. 57 and boasting a team-best 30-5 overall record while losing only two duals. That being said, one must remember that these newcomers are making their postseason debut and the stakes get higher with each passing round. However, everything indicates they'll be up for the challenge.

| Doubles Play Has Been A Strength
A team strength all season long, Stanford has claimed the doubles point in 18 of its 20 matches this year. Routinely grabbing a 1-0 lead has allowed the Cardinal to get a jump on its opponent. One reason for the success has been consistency within the lineup, as head coach Lele Forood has employed only four doubles combinations in dual match play. The No. 1 spot has been solidified by Ahn and Zhao, who are ranked No. 10 in the nation after compiling a 27-4 record that includes an NCTC Classic title. The No. 2 pairing of Davidson and Ellen Tsay has been terrific, registering a 25-5 overall record and 15-1 clip in duals. The No. 3 duo of Doyle and Amelia Herring will be playing only its 10th match together, getting the starting nod after a strong run at Pac-12 Championships. The shift allows Krista Hardebeck, one of the most vital players from last year's championship run, to focus solely on her singles. Hardebeck struggled near the end of the season but looked extremely sharp in the opening rounds last week.

GameStop certainly had a happy holiday season –– if not for the sanity of the retailers managers everywhere at least financially –– to the tune of $3.15 billion in sales due in large part to the launch of both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, according to a report today from GameSpot.
The Microsoft and Sony next-gen consoles shot up GameStop's sales by 9.3 percent compared to the same time period –– Thanksgiving until the end of the year –– in 2012.
Unsurprisingly, the retailer's hardware sales increased by 99.8 percent year-on-year because of the Xbox One and PS4, though its software sales did take a significant dip.
"New software sales came in below our expectations," said chief financial officer Rob Lloyd in a statement.
PS3 and Xbox 360 games dropped by 22.5 percent compared to 2012.
The figures come a week after Sony put a scare into GameStop investors with its new cloud-streaming game service PlayStation Now, which caused share valves in the retail chain to sink within minutes of its introduction.

On article Olympus UK announces pricing for PEN Lite (E-PL3) (22 comments in total)
In reply to:
justmeMN: At that price, entry-level DSLRs look like a better deal. And with DSLRs, you don't have to pay an extra $249.99 to get a viewfinder.
of course everybody will love to have a camera with nikon´s D3s performance at $100 price-tag.

On article Olympus announces SP-810UZ with the world's longest zoom lens (87 comments in total)
In reply to:
mpgxsvcd: Looks like a very good and compact super zoom.
reading the comments thread is usually interesting but here seems to be the case of lots of people arguing about which camera takes the best pictures based solely on price or specifications.
after all, cameras capture the picture, but photographers see the moment they want to catch!
i think it is the perfect camera if it lets you take the pictures you want
