Life is too short to wear boring fragrance. This youthful blend of fruity and floral notes is designed to make you feel fabulous, even if the most exciting thing on your calendar is laundry. Accordingly, the glamorous glass bottle comes bedecked with playful charms. One spritz and you're ready for anything.
This is one of my favorite perfumes but I personally wouldn't pay more than $50 for it at this size! Long wearing and as strong as I like it to be! To me, it smells fresh, clean, and girly, all at once :)
It is a beautiful bottle but I was surprised when that wasn't a "bracelet" around the top (because it's much too small). I bought this at Buckle for about $50 and just seen it at Ross for less than that! I should have bought it!!
This is the best perfume I've owned. When I wear this scent, I have multiple questions about "what are you wearing?", "where did you get it?", and "you smell really good!". My ex boyfriend liked it so much he wanted a small bottle to smell when I wasn't there. Excellent product.5

Awesome! Landon Donovan proves gay footballers can be accepted by including Robbie Rogers in a note [Picture]
Last year Robbie Rogers retired from football after announcing he was gay.
The American midfielder has since made a return with LA Galaxy and he's clearly getting along well with his teammates.
On a team note written by Landon Donovan, the former Everton player included Rogers by writing 'No wives, girlfriends, boyfriends or side pieces'.
The small gesture obviously meant a lot to Rogers, tweeting 'Thanks for including me @landondonovan'.

sharing an external drive between Linux and Windows
Hi Everyone,
I was wondering what the best way to do this is? Here is the idea...
Server has 60gb drive for OS / programs and 2 x 2TB drives for data. I will have all of my windows computers, etc. save directly to the first 2TB drive. Then, I will have the second 2TB drive periodically sync and copy the files/data from the first 2TB drive to act as an internal backup. Then I want to use an external hard drive as a 3rd and offline backup that I would conduct manually every so often.
Now, my problem is, I'm not sure which filesystem is best to use for sharing the external hard drive between linux and windows. I'm leaning towards NTFS, but I've been told that Linux doesn't read/use metadata and permissions and can cause problems when modifying files.... ?
Also, I am running Debian Squeeze. And, there is the potential for files larger than 4GB so FAT is not an option. I hope to be backing up databases for web design and understand they can be pretty large. (Well, I was just told databases... not necessarily databases for web design.)
Any help/comments/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
The normal soln to storing MS files on Linux is to use the Linux FS eg ext4 and go via the Samba service.
Eg Chap 19 http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_boo...ion/index.html
I'd think that NTFS would be the WORST choice.....
I've had good experience with ext2fsd----allows Windows to read/write ext2 and ext3:
Samba has been referred to me several times before. I plan to use it (or something similar) for the computers to write to. The scenario I have in mind is this... I have all of the data on the server. Perhaps one day the server goes down or I just decide to shut it down and reinstall Windows... I want to have an external drive as an offline backup of the data so I can load it onto my windows PC in case something happens to the linux PC. So I need the external hard drive to be compatible with both OSs.

Thanks. I'll have to check into it..

Alex Eruptor Interviews former 'Maiden & 'Mantis Axe hero on his career and book
"This book covers the dark ages of 'Maiden: Gigs, trivia, it's a blow-by-blow account, warts and all, the inside story including my time with 'Maiden during the late 1970s, as well as my time with Praying Mantis in which we toured with Iron Maiden's on two occasions – 'Metal for Muthas' and also on 'Maiden's own first headline tour – and all of the madness that went on there! I've always been a nerd for keeping notes and stuff, I've been sat on this stuff for years like a lazy bastard, it took a while to do it but now it's written and I'm hoping to find a UK publisher for it."
These were the words of Bob Sawyer, (aka 'Rob Angelo'), former guitarist of both Iron Maiden and Praying Mantis during their formative years in the 1970s and 1980s. As a 'Maiden nut and nerd-type fan of all things related to their 'rock family tree', guitarist Bob Sawyer, was someone I'd hoped for some time to make contact with in order to write this feature. Thanks to the power of the internet I made contact in February 2014, and Bob was happy to talk for an hour about the book and also of his experiences during the formative British rock/heavy metal scene more generally.
We discussed his early influences - which included the Shadows, Duane Eddy, Tony Hicks of The Hollies, before the arrival of Eric Clapton "the first Cream album was a milestone in blues rock", and Michael Schenker, whose work with UFO in the 1970s was of course an influence on 'Maiden, whom Bob joined towards the end of 1976:
"I'd been playing in bands for a few years already by that point including a group called 'Xero', and also in a band from London called 'Shady Lady' (not to be confused with the American band of the same name) who I joined in the summer of 1976, replacing Dave Colwell who would go on to join 720, Samson, as well as some 'Maiden related projects, and eventually Bad Company.
I had also been in a band named Nitro with Den Wilcock who by 1976 was fronting Iron Maiden. In December 1976 I was no longer playing for Shady Lady and one day I was in my car at traffic lights (at the junction of Lea Valley rd. and Sewardstone rd, Chingford, Essex, to be precise!) and I heard this voice shout through the window asking me if I was still playing in any band. It was Den Wilcock and also in there were Steve Harris and Dave Murray. A week later I was in Iron Maiden. At that time they were playing in a trailer in this muddy field, you had to wade through all of this muck, it was like the Battle of the Somme.
So, Iron Maiden at this time, and for the duration of my time in the band, was Ron Rebel (drums), Den Wilcock (lead vocals), Dave Murray (guitar), Steve Harris (bass) and myself (guitar). That was the line-up from December 1976 until July '77 when I left. Basically what happened there was Den Wilcock wanted this other guy Terry in the band and me and Dave left – although obviously Davey joined them again some time later."
The set list at this time comprised mainly original songs, most of which would surface on 'Maiden's eponymous debut album in 1980, as well as one or two others such as 'Drifter' which turned up in live form as a B-side and EP track, and then as a studio cut on the follow-up album 'Killers' in '81. At this time Maiden were also playing Montrose's 'I've Got The Fire', which remained in the set for some time after and also be recorded in live and studio form no various B-sides.
Asked about Maiden's sound at this time, the extent to which the songs resembled the later recorded versions, and whether or not they were slower and bluesier as internet reports of the earlier Iron Maiden line-ups suggest, Bob replied that during his spell in the band:
"The influences were British prog rock – especially bands like Stray and Nektar - Steve was really into that – and also American rock such as Kiss, Ted Nugent, and like I say, Montrose. The songs were a bit slower but not bluesy."
To get a feel for what this might have sounded like, I tried to imagine 'Drifter' at a slower tempo and it started to sound familiar – I asked Bob if during his time with the band that song bore a passing resemblance to 'Blowin Free' by Wishbone Ash?
"Your'e right about the Blowin' Free / Drifter connection! A couple of years later though, after they'd had all of their gear stolen in 1978, they sort of stopped and it was just Murray and Harris left in the group, and they didn't do any gigs but they re-built the band through 1978 and 1979. I remember going to see them as a member of the audience and the first thing I noticed as a guitar player was that everything was faster – they built the sound around the speed that Dave played, and all those guitar players who went through the ranks after that: Parsons, Dennis Stratton, you know, the message was: this is our sound now and this is how you have to play these songs. So the sound of the band was by then all geared around Dave Murray's guitar playing."
I asked Bob what the gigs were like during his time - which venues were you playing?
"We'd play the Cart & Horses pub every week, and every week the crowds got bigger and bigger. We couldn't believe what was happening."
Even then, Maiden had a light show and provided the sort of on-stage theatrics untypical of most other bands gigging on the East-End pub circuit, which helped bring in a crowd craving a bit of rock showmanship. Official Iron Maiden biographies which tell the tale of the band playing such obscure pub shows in London's East End during Bob's tenure, with their move into North- and West-London venues being orchestrated and masterminded later, by DJ Neil Kaye and manager Rod Smallwood. Bob's version of events indicates though that although his might be mostly true, Maiden were in fact also already venturing into North London 'showcase' venues and getting onto some decent support slots with fairly major bands:
"During my time, Iron Maiden supported Trapeze at Camden Music Machine, although it wasn't our finest moment. We started with Transylvania (instrumental track that would later be recorded for Iron Maiden's first album a few years later) but had terrible technical problems with things not working properly. We'd thought we were really good but we didn't really cope well in that situation and Trapeze, in comparison, showed us how it should be done. They'd already done several US tours and that gig showed the men from the boys."
I thought that this was interesting - whilst the Trapeze/Music Machine gig is sometimes listed on fan websites, and a flyer does exist, it was the first time that I'd heard anything about the show itself. A bit more digging around indicates that 'Maiden were indeed getting scouted by A&R types at this time, David Bates who was scouting Def Leppard at that time (and instrumental in getting them signed to Mercury Records) lists the Music Machine show on his website as one of his stand-out gigs of the 1970s.
As well as bands such as 'Maiden and Def Leppard, another band of the era which utilised the twin-guitar approach to melodic but powerful effect was Praying Mantis, and in January 1980, Bob joined their ranks:
"At the time they were choosing a new guitarist, Tino Troy (Praying Mantis founder member) actually got in touch with Steve Harris and asked about me and Steve told them 'yeah, great guitar player, goes for it on stage' which confirmed to them to give me the gig. 'Mantis was a great band, really had something musically. Like 'Maiden we played all original songs with Wishbone Ash style guitar harmonies, it also reminded me of Blue Oyster Cult at times."
Bob's tenure with 'Mantis was however all over by the summer of 1980:
"I didn't tow the party line, which is a euphemism for 'I behaved like a diva!' Even after that though I had the support of the record company but I went down to live in Cornwall for the rest of the summer like a rock star in exile and three months later when I came back, ready to do something, I'd missed my chance. I joined the band Weapon for a while, but after that I stayed on the pub circuit with mates. I'd had enough –each time you're out of a band or the band splits you have to start all over from the bottom – it's a precarious business."
But what a business – and Bob has been fortunate to not only serve time in some of the foremost bands of the NWOBHM (new wave of British Heavy Metal) but also to have seen some of the biggest acts in rock when they were still slogging around the smaller venues. Highlights include Deep Purple just as their pivotal album 'In Rock' was being released, the J Geils and, Wizard and Ray Buchannan at The Sundown (an old converted cinema in Edmonton), T-Rex in 1971 at London's Roundhouse, The Faces, Free, Steve Marriott playing incendiary sets in venues such as London's Marquee Club. The list goes on and it is clear that Bob is someone who was there at the heart of the action during some very exciting and formative times for the hard rock and heavy metal genres.
Today, Bob Sawyer is still guitar crazy, building Stratocasters, and the proud owner of over twenty guitars which he plays through a trusty Marshall 100 Watt amp. His latest venture is a Blues Rock, R&B and Jazz 'combo' called Firebird Seven, which also includes in its ranks another NWOBHM stalwart, bassist Kev Riddles of Angel Witch and Tyton.
The book promises to be awesome and includes all sorts of stuff for fans of Iron Maiden and the NWOBHM more generally, including a brand new 'Iron Maiden Family Tree' based no Bob's own archives and which should clear up some of the inaccuracies in previously published Iron Maiden family trees and internet speculations which have tended to be hampered by omissions and inaccuracies.

Offers could officially start coming in on Monday for rising juniors. One player who may not have to wait long for a scholarship is 6-foot-2, 191-pound athlete Aramide Olaniyan out of Woodberry Forest, Va.
"I haven't gotten any offers, Boston College is really looking along with Duke and Connecticut," he said. "All of them want to see my first game to see if I'm a defensive linemen or linebacker."
Olaniyan plans to take his first unofficial visit of the season this weekend, but it won't be his last.
Article Continues Below
"I'm going to Wake Forest to watch them play Ole Miss and see what comes of it," he said. "I'm still trying to get up to Virginia Tech sometime soon too. I want to see if I can get an offer there. I know the coaches are in touch with my coach.
"I want to go visit Boston College, Duke and probably North Carolina too."
Other schools including UCLA, Nebraska and Stanford are also showing interest.
Olaniyan and Woodberry Forest School open the season next week, September 13th against Virginia Episcopal.
"I'm looking forward to the season, we should dominate the prep league," he stated. "I'm playing with a lot more speed and size this year. I was 175 last season and now I'm up to 195. I want to go out and use my speed to my advantage and make more plays."

You hear strange sounds at night. The house seems as if it has a life of its own. Floorboards creak. Strange, ghostly shapes form in your walls. A wet area makes an apparition in your yard. The water meter mysteriously spins even when no one's inside the house or using the hose in the garden — which, by the way, has a spooky little area where the grass seems to grow taller faster than anywhere else in the yard. There's something wrong with your house, and you know it. Who are you gonna call? Your local plumber.
Strange sounds, mysterious figures and seemingly unexplained rapid structural changes in the house are some of the most common signs of water leak problems. All these seemingly strange happenings can be effectively answered and solved by a highly competent plumbing professional. Left untreated, even a small leak can do damage to your property and may make the house unsafe and unhealthy to live in. Thus, the first time you suspect that there's a leak somewhere, it's important to call the services of a professional plumbing company immediately.
When choosing a plumbing contractor, work only with those who have the right training background and credentials required for them to accomplish the tricky role of solving your property plumbing issues. Remember, plumbing is a highly meticulous job; a single miscalculation can send floodwater up your living room. Make sure that you sign up only with professionals.
Another helpful way of choosing a plumber is to check if the company boasts of solid local clientele and experience – ask friends or neighbours for recommendations of plumbers that they think have provided quality service to them. A highly competent plumber may be able to get the job done, but someone who's already familiar with the local terrain, pipe systems and household facilities common in the area can provide a much more effective and long-term solution.
It is likewise critical that you ensure that the plumbing team has an urgent and fast-moving response system. You'll never know when you'll be faced with a terrible plumbing crisis in the middle of the night; you should be able to have on your speed-dial a plumbing contractor that can offer quality, reliable service 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Lastly, a good plumber should be able to offer you realistic and effective solutions that will end your plumbing problems once and for all. Make sure that you have discussed the terms of the services well; put special attention on the billing system to ensure everything is transparent and well-accounted for when the time to pay comes.

Team Ratings
W. Szczęsny
Could do nothing about Bartley's header, which smacked his crossbar, but otherwise looked untroubled.
P. Mertesacker
Wasn't overly troubled up against Graham, though he did invite pressure with some halfway line dithering.
K. Gibbs
Got forward when he could but was guilty of allowing Dyer a bit too much time on the ball. Improved in the second half and forced Swansea back.
T. Vermaelen
His close range free-kick fizzed just over the crossbar before an even better chance was spurned 10 yards out as Vorm made a fine save. Wasn't at his best defensively but then made up for it with a couple of well-timed last ditch challenges.
B. Sagna
Won every race for the ball, got forward well and pushed Routledge deeper and deeper into his own half. Delivered a wonderful cross for Walcott to turn against the post.
F. Coquelin
Struck one rasping volley that was well gathered by Vorm and otherwise slotted in adequately alongside Diaby.
J. Wilshere
His driving run in the first half was emblematic of his desire to break Swansea down and his work around the box was full of invention. Forced a good save from Vorm after twisting free of his markers and continued to drive Arsenal on. Was rewarded when he linked up with Giroud to volley superbly past Vorm from 20 yards and win the game.
A. Diaby
The big man started his second game in a week and looked impressive in the middle with Coquelin. Sometimes had a tendency to dally on the ball but his pass to set Walcott free was inch perfect and deserved a better finish.
Drifted in and out of the game but rifled a powerful effort from 20 yards just over Vorm's bar. Other than that he had very little influence from the left. Not a game to remember.
O. Giroud
Guilty of missing two good chances in the opening 10 minutes, putting one header over and a right-footed shot wide at the near post. Wasn't always on the right wavelength and missed a number of chances over the 90 minutes. Stayed calm though and cushioned a nice lay-off for Wilshere's winner.
T. Walcott
Was moved back to his right-wing spot but looked confident as he burst past Tiendalli early on to cross for Giroud. Spurned a great chance early in the second half, clipping the ball wide of the far post when in on goal but otherwise looked Arsenal's most potent weapon. Will wonder how on earth he didn't tap home Vorm's parry as Graham shouldered clear, before missing a fine chance inside the box, curling wide. Hit the post with a glancing header which rather summed up his night - he would not have scored if he'd played for another three hours.
Swansea City
M. Vorm
Showed safe hands from Gibbs' well-drilled effort and his distribution was usually excellent. Made a vital stop with his legs on the stroke of half-time before being peppered by shots from all manner of angles. Did well before thanking the intervention of his far post as it rebounded Walcott's header into his arms. Had no chance with the Wilshere winner.
D. Tiendalli
Played at left-back and found the going tough up against the electric Walcott. Conceded time and space in the opening stages but gradually grew into the game. Was helped when Walcott wandered into the middle, but overall didn't impress.
K. Bartley
The former Gunner was extremely unlucky to see his header from six yards ping back off the crossbar. Otherwise did well in patches but occasionally caught out for pace.
Chico Flores
Much improved since the start of the season, Chico put his body on the line in the box whenever Arsenal broke forward. He was fortunate, perhaps, to get away with a shirt pull on Walcott when he was in on goal. Unlucky to watch his headed effort at goal hit the side netting with 10 minutes to go.
A. Richards
Didn't have a pacy winger to deal with, but was up against the tricky Cazorla. The young defender did well though, keeping the Spaniard largely quiet. Didn't proceed much beyond the halfway line, however.
K. Agustien
Slotted into the middle of the midfield and displayed an impressive array of passing when allowed to do so. He was replaced on the hour mark by Pablo Hernandez.
J. de Guzmán
Didn't have his most impressive game but was neat and tidy nonetheless. He harried the Arsenal midfield for the 62 minutes he was on the pitch before being replaced by Ki.
L. Britton
Neat and tidy as ever and kept Swansea calm when in possession. Much of their impressive ball retention was down to the rhythm he created.
N. Dyer
A peripheral figure for much of the game. Offered next to nothing in attack and just an extra body in defence when Gibbs got forward.
W. Routledge
Like Dyer, he couldn't get forward and hurt Arsenal, instead giving assistance to the struggling Tiendalli at left-back.
D. Graham
Had Swansea's first real chance on 20 minutes but dragged his 20-yard effort horribly wide. Didn't have much luck going forward and his link play was often sloppy but he made a crucial intervention on his own goal-line, deflecting the ball clear with his shoulder. Was replaced by Michu with 20 minutes to go.
Pablo Hernández
Came on for Agustien in the 60th minute but struggled to impact the game from the left.
Sung-Yong Ki
Replaced De Guzman with 28 minutes remaining to provide more height in the Swansea midfield. Fired a low drive that was well turned behind by Szczesny.
Came on for Graham with 20 to play with a new haircut but could not conjure anything of note.

Kodak has announced that it has renewed its partnership with the PGA Tour thru 2016, but is dropping sponsorship of its Kodak Challenge effective immediately. I'm sure you're either asking yourself- the Kodak Challenge, uh what is that? Is that some sort of picture contest or something? Or you're thinking, who cares. I'd have to say in either case that unfortunately I agree.
The Kodak Challenge was created and instituted on the PGA Tour in 2009 as a season long chance at $1 million. Basically how it worked was that the folks at Kodak would pick a signature hole at each PGA Tour event throughout the season, and players would use their lowest score of the 4 rounds on that hole (or just for 2 rounds if they missed the cut) for a cumulative best ball over the course of the entire PGA Tour season. If you birdied the 18th hole at Kapalua Plantation at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions you were -1, if you birdied the signature hole the next week at the Sony Open you were 2-under for the year, etc.
Sounds like a good idea in theory, but truth is that it was just another random stat/event that nobody paid attention to. Half the players didn't even know what the event was until the end of the season when they were randomly in contention (including Rickie Fowler) for the title, and the public certainly never grasped onto it.
Yahoo Devil Golf Blog made a blog post today of it being a, "Somber Goodbye to the Kodak Challenge." In order for a farewell to be somber, I would think that it would first need to be liked or known. Usually we love their stuff, but safe to say that was quite the overstatement there Shane Bacon.
Now more than ever, the Tour needs to be wiser with its sponsorship dollars. Hopefully Finchem and company will think through things a little better to find a better allocation of dollars the next time something like this presents itself. For now, congratulations to Kevin Streelman, Troy Merritt and Bill Lunde ('09, '10 and '11 winners of the Kodak Challenge) for being the world's most random millionaires.

Pineiro reports having no further pain in back
By Lyle Spencer / MLB.com
He left a camp game on Sunday against the Cubs in Mesa after two innings with what was described as tightness, but less than 24 hours later he said he was "feeling better than I was before I went out to pitch yesterday."
Having undergone an exercise program with the training staff, Pineiro reported that "all my strength is there. It's just that muscle that had to get loosened up."
He said he doesn't expect to miss a turn in the rotation during the opening week of the season, and manager Mike Scioscia confirmed that.
"Pineiro is feeling much better," Scioscia said. "He's being reassessed by our medical department. The little tightness is gone. Right now I don't think it's going to impact folding him in [to the rotation] earlier. We feel better about it today than last night."

Spring Training Info
With two open dates in the first week of the season on a road trip to Kansas City and Tampa Bay, Scioscia will have the option of holding back Pineiro if necessary.
"As of today," Pineiro said, "it looks good for the opening week."
It is unrelated, he said, to the strained oblique he sustained warming up for a July 28 start last year that cost him six weeks.
"It's the muscle where it connects to the lat [latissimus dorsi]," Pineiro said. "It had nothing to do with the oblique."
Comparing it to a "cramp that stiffened up," Pineiro said he would have continued pitching if it had been a regular-season game but felt no need to push it under those conditions.
"In a regular-season game, you figure out a way to adjust," Pineiro said. "You throw 84, 85, go with other stuff."
Pineiro reached 73 pitches in his previous outing and believes he's stretched out sufficiently to get deep into games after the season opens. His command all spring has been superb.
With threatening weather on the horizon, Angels ace Jered Weaver was sent to a Minor League game to get his work in, hoping to throw six innings against Arizona's Class A team in Tempe. Francisco Rodriguez assumed the projected start in a Cactus League game against the Cubs at Tempe Diablo Stadium.

Judo / Killer Instinct Brings Schlesinger the Bronze
Alice Schlesinger has had a rough three months. Throughout that period, the 21-year-old trained relentlessly for the Judo World Championships, which kicked off Wednesday in Rotterdam. The judoka, who competes in the under-63kg class, was entirely focused on a single goal - to bring a medal home to Israel, whatever the cost.
"I don't remember ever working that hard," said Schlesinger, who despite her Anglo-sounding first name is a native-born sabra. "For two and a half months I suffered. Almost every training session ended in tears."
The hard work paid off. Every aspect of the training program drafted by Schlesinger's boyfriend-coach Pavel Musin was progressing as planned - her weight had dropped to the target range, and she was feeling sharp, fast and up to the tremendous challenge before her.
But just a few days before her flight to the Netherlands, Schlesinger got a vicious sore throat and had to go on antibiotics. Only on the day of her flight did she stop the treatment.
Schlesinger never let up, getting as far as the quarterfinal bout against hometown favorite Elisabeth Willeboordse, the bronze medal winner in last summer's Olympics in Beijing.
Her weak condition took its toll, and she was defeated. Now in the "consolation" bracket, Schlesinger was given only seven minutes' rest after the exhausting bout.
After pushing past Portugal's Ana Cachola, Schlesinger was now ready for the battle of her life - only Vera Koval of Russia stood between her and the bronze medal.
"I went up to the mat with a very weird feeling," she said. "I told myself, 'I'm gonna kill her.'"
Musin helped her awaken her killer instinct. "You'll spit blood onto this mat," he told his fighter. "You're not leaving here defeated."
Schlesinger lunged at her prey, scoring a waza-ari (worth half of the one point needed to win a match), and ultimately winning.
"During the last few seconds, I already thought about a medal. I made a few mistakes because of the stress and the excitement, but I could see that she was already breaking," Schlesinger said.
Schlesinger ascended the winner's podium, and "saw Pavel, my parents and my sister sitting there. I could see the joy on their faces, and that's what moved me.".
"That wonderful feeling lasted for five minutes - I finished the match, went up to the podium, went back down, back to the hotel and that was it, it was all over," she said. "But those five minutes were worth every second of those three months."
Schlesinger's medal caps an otherwise lackluster weekend for Israel's judokas. On Thursday, Yoel Razvozov lost to Greece's Aris Kotandis in the men's under-73kg class, while Liraz Ben Melech fell in the women's under-57kg to Battugs Tumen-Od of Mongolia.
Arik Ze'evi, the 2004 Olympic bronze medal finalist, will compete today in the men's under-100kg class against the winner between Djamaldin Aliev of the U.S. and Azerbaijan's Elmar Gasimov.

Read this.-->Thinking About Hacking Your Wii,Basic introduction In Wii Hacking
Go to this link to mod your wii.-->Softmod Any Wii Guide
I bought a Wii for the sole purpose of installing the Homebrew mod on it. I did what I thought was enough research, but never found anything specifying all the little nuances I've discovered throughout the homebrew-install process. So here are my questions:
1. I bought the black Wii bundle with Super Mario Bros and music disc - what controllers can I buy that will work with ALL apps since I'm learning the Motion Plus controllers made since late Nov. 2011 work with very little?
2. At what point do I need to use a USB external to store games?
3. Super Smash Bros. Brawl doesn't work. I load the disc channel, it asks if I want to create a save. No matter my answer ('yes' or 'no'), it then tells me that if I continue, I will not be able to save or access the Nintendo WFC menu. I just bought this Wii yesterday. I can't imagine it's one of the ones that don't work, since it's the latest model Wii. Is there a chance this has anything to do with Homebrew?
4. I have Bootmii, but I keep reading about Priiloader, and other ii's that are recommended to protect my Wii from being bricked and to allow for the Homebrew to be removed. Is there a guide to what EXACTLY needs to be done to have these installed?
Thanks for any help!
Read this.-->Thinking About Hacking Your Wii,Basic introduction In Wii Hacking
Go to this link to mod your wii.-->Softmod Any Wii Guide
That answers 2 and 4 (thanks).
What about 1 and 3?
The soft mod any wii has all updated apps that support the New Wiimote's.
No.I don't believe it's being caused by HBC .
I never had that problem and system's can be defected even if they are new.
I don't know what guide you used before coming to this site for help,so I wouldn't know what could have caused that problem "if it even is caused" from another Guide.
That guide refers me to please.hackmii.com, which is what I used the first time. I had to install some other codemii file to get the new remote to work within the homebrew channel itself, and then it stopped working when loading up any emulators, etc.
In the case the system is defective, is my only option to return it?
The soft mod any doesn't refer you To Hackmii.com,it use's that to install the HBC and Ios58 & Ios61 and it uses Wiimod to install it.
As for emulators that part is also in that guide,Look here.-->Wii Remote Plus Troubles
Wait and see if somebody else has any Ideas on what could be causing the problem's with the game.
Is that the only game that gives that error?
Okay, I'll look through those guides.
I actually deleted the Homebrew channel, tried it again, didn't work. Then turned off the Wii for a half hour or so, tried again, and it worked.
I'm not familiar with the Wii controller, so not sure what usually does what, but I pushed the 1 instead of the 2 when it asked me to Create a Save file. I doubt it made a difference though, cause it would have the same result whether I clicked Yes or No.
Yeah, I have a save with Super Mario Bros. 3 on there. And I don't think so. All I've done is installed Bootmii, the Homebrew channel and browser, and that was it.

LOS ANGELES (KTLA) — The crash that killed journalist Michael Hastings was ruled an accident by police, but conspiracy theories continued to circulate on Friday.
Hastings, 33, was killed in a fiery solo-vehicle crash in Hancock Park early Tuesday morning.
He was best known for a 2010 Rolling Stone article that led to the resignation of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who was the former U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan.
Staff Sgt. Joseph Biggs told KTLA that he received an email from Hastings on Monday.
Biggs had known Hastings since 2008, when the journalist was embedded in his unit in Afghanistan.
"On Monday morning, I woke up and I got an email, and it's very panicked," Biggs said.
He was blind-copied on the email, which was sent to Hastings' colleagues.
In part, it said that the feds were interviewing his close friends and associates, and that he was onto a big story and needed to get off the radar.
The FBI has denied that Hastings was ever under investigation.
"It alarmed me very much," Biggs said. "I just said it doesn't seem like him. I don't know, I just had this gut feeling and it just really bothered me," he said.
The email was sent just before 1 p.m. on Monday, 15 hours before the deadly crash.

With 568 members in this group, some have got to be NaruSasu fans. Let's get to know each other. Why do you like the pairing? How did you come by the pairing? Were you converted by fiction and doujinshi, or was this your immediate pairing after watching the series?
I read recently that the number of NaruSasu fanfiction is climbing at an "alarming" rate. And it was quite a while ago that NaruSasu beat out SasuSaku in the google wars for having far more hits. We're totally on the rise. That's cause to celebrate. Who's with me? ^_^
I'm with you! *puts on a party hat*
When I first started watching Naruto I didn't even think about pairings, but then I saw the Valley of the End episodes and loved NaruSasu from then.
I love it because of the emotional intensity and, of course, the angst!
Yay! This group is so quiet I was starting to lose hope.
So if Sasuke had stayed you might not have ended up liking the pairing? ^^
With all the angst that followed Sasuke leaving, I'd give anything to have had someone carry him back home directly after that fight. He was worn out so much it would have been easy to drag him back. But then we would have missed seeing Naruto continue to obsess over him for 3+ years...
I fell for them during the Haku arc. I know, it's so cliche, sacrifice and supposed death-but-not-really. But that's where Kyuubi made his first big explosion and it was because Naruto was so upset over Sasuke. I loved that. I'm a youko fangirl, so anything that riles Naruto enough to make him all red-eyed is good in my book. Having it happen because of Sasuke is just fangirl heaven. ;p
I wonder why this group is so quiet...? I thought there were more NaruSasu fans than this!
I think that even if Sasuke had stayed, I would have been drawn into the pairing anyway, there's so much chemistry between those two, it's impossible to ignore!
I loved the Haku arc! Once I fell in love with the pairing, I had to go re-watch the whole thing.
You see a lot of NS fans in the forum. And remember, none of the SN fans are posting in the other threads in this group, either. 500+ people and only two are talking. o.O
All the social groups I'm a member of are quiet. I'm lucky if even one of them has a new post every other day.
What I love most about Naruto and Sasuke is the way they clash. I want to see them bicker. I adore fics where they argue like stubborn kids, or djs like 10 Rankai where they yell over each other even when they're supposed to be getting ready for smut. They make me laugh and are hot at the same time.
The Haku arc will always be my favorite, angsty but not as bad as the chunin exam (Oro biting Sasuke grrr) or the valley of the end (angst angst angst). The tree climbing and Sasuke looking so hilarious with his blush (humiliated bristling uke shot) and Naruto popping up inside Haku's cage (his "I'm here to save you" is just classic) are two of my favorite parts in the anime. I wish the series had taken a break *then* to add all the filler crap instead of doing it after Sasuke left. They could have had so much fun watching them take more missions together and being crunchy cute rivals. But that's where fanfiction comes in. ^^
Wow, trust me to join a group where only two out of 500+ people are actually doing anything!
I certainly agree about the 10 Rankai djs, they are so awesome and I get ridiculously excited while downloading one that I haven't read yet.
And yes, the bickering is just so hot!
Sasuke's blush during the tree climbing has to be the best expression I've ever seen him make, it had me giggling for ages.
I loved the whole Sasuke In a Barrel arc because Naruto was just so desperate to drag him back home. Another reason why the Valley of the End got to me so much! Actually, Naruto has been determined to drag Sasuke back ever since he left and I love it!
I agree about the fillers, too. They would've been much more fun if Sasuke had been there to bicker with Naruto. I would have watched them then. Whatever would we do without fanfiction?
I don't remember how i become addicted to them. Ever since their accidental kiss, there is something fishy between them, Sasuke treats Naruto different from the rest of them.
: Sasuke and Naruto are meant to be.
I became fully obsessed of SasuNaru after reading few doujinshi.
I like agressive Sasuke and uke Naruto, its just perfect.
@eroticSerox - The gagging immediately after that kiss is a total smoke screen. Everyone knows they enjoyed it immensely. It's like this one doujinshi I read where they had sex and afterward Naruto said "I'm not gay, you know. And neither are you." And Sasuke's like "You're still saying that?" ;p
@lollypopraine - That's the one thing I do like about the time skip, knowing Naruto spent those three years obsessing over Sasuke. And there are all those little parts in the manga that just scream "meant for each other" - like the "wind is the only thing that can save fire" comment he gives during the elemental training. And Itachi's line about how Sasuke's heart is a "blank canvas waiting for someone to paint it with his own colors." Have you ever seen The Sound of Music? There's a song the teenagers sing to each other where the boy says "Your heart, little girl, is an open page that men will want to write on." Tell me that isn't exactly what Itachi just said to Naruto about his own little brother. ;p
"The wind is the only thing that can save fire" - I can't believe I forgot to mention that bit! It's one of my favourite lines in Shippuden. It was the cutest thing!
I can't say I've ever seen The Sound of Music, did I miss out? :O those lines are practically the same!
Oh, Sound of Music is an old musical about a would-be nun who ends up helping a guy raise his seven children. I can just hear Itachi singing that song to Sasuke, "Your heart, foolish little brother, is a blank canvas that men will want to paint on." Now if Naruto would just follow his advice and paint some orange on Sasuke's canvas they'd live happily ever after. ;p
Another good manga line was Naruto exploding on Orochimaru, the "don't speak about Sasuke as if you own him in front of me" bit. He's so cute when he gets all angry and possessive. ^.^

Ebiquity set to beat interim forecasts after speedy acquisition integration
Media and marketing analytics group Ebiquity (LON:EBQ) saw its shares gain 2% in trading this morning on news that it was enjoying earlier than expected benefits from its recent acquisition of Xtreme Information Services Ltd. Ebiquity, which advises its clients on how much bang for their buck they get from advertising and marketing spend, snapped up advertising monitoring business Xtreme in April in a move to broaden its international presence.
Today the company said it was seeing synergies between the two business make an impact quicker than previously thought. As a result, whilst revenues are in line with market expectations, pre-highlighted operating profit for the half year to October is likely to be ahead of expectations. The company's interim results are due on January 19, 2011. Shares in Ebiquity started 2010 at 55p and jumped to 72p in the spring on the back of acquisition announcements. The stock enjoyed another surge at the end of October and was trading today at 86.5p.
Ebiquity paid £17.9m in cash, shares and loan notes for Xtreme and is planning to have the integration process wrapped up by the end of the current financial year, which will ahead of schedule. In addition, the total cost of integration is likely to be lower than originally expected. The company added that, at this stage, it was comfortable with market expectations for the full year revenue and pre-highlighted operating profit. In a note by house broker Numis in July, the company was forecast to deliver full year revenues of £41.9m in 2011 and pre-tax profits of £4.2m.

TORONTO - A couple of months ago, Brampton boxer Luis Valdivia was down, though certainly not out.
The Chilean-born fighter was anxiously awaiting word on his Canadian citizenship, as he had been chosen to represent Canada at the prestigious Brandenburg Cup in Frankfurt, Germany, June 21-26.
Valdivia, 17, has lived in Canada since he was seven and pinned for the chance to represent the Maple Leaf internationally, but was afraid his citizenship wouldnt come through in time. And so his coach, John Melich, contacted the Toronto Sun in the hopes that a little media publicity would perhaps expedite the boxers paperwork.
Sure enough, a few days after an article was published (June 6, 2011), Valdivias citizenship came through, and though its doubtful the Sun piece had anything to do with Valdivia receiving his citizenship so promptly, Melich is adamant that the article did light a fire under some functionarys keister up in Ottawa, paving the way for Valdivia to be sworn in as a new Canadian.
In any case, Valdivias citizenship paperwork arrived a few days too late for his participation at the Brandenburg Cup. The good news is, Valdivia, the 2011 Canada Games champion at 69 kg, has been selected to represent Canada at the Commonwealth Youth Games, which will take place Sept. 7-12 on the Isle of Man.
But theres another dark lining to this silver cloud.
In order to compete at the Commonwealth Youth Games, the Turner Fenton Secondary School student has to raise $850 from out of his own pocket. And his pockets arent deep.
The deal is, Boxing Canada is so strapped for funding, that our international-level boxers have to partly pay their own way to some tournaments. Having to cough up money to pay for competitions abroad isnt unique to boxing in this country, but the hardship is especially felt in sports, like boxing, that traditionally attracts kids from the lower end of the economic spectrum. Valdivias parents are hard-working immigrants, but theyre certainly not wealthy, and $850 is a considerable sum.
Melich doesnt blame Boxing Canada for the funding shortfall, but hes not impressed that athletes, in any sport in Canada, often have to pay their own way to international competitions.
Boxing is really a poor mans sport, not like golf or hockey, Melich said. Were just trying to keep youth in our neighbourhoods busy and active. Boxers just dont have this money like they have in other sports. In Luis case, he comes from an average family and cant really afford this.
The problem, from my perspective, is that Sport Canada, an arm of the federal government, funds too many sports and programs in attempt to appease everyone, as opposed to concentrating funding on sports that have traditionally been followed by Canadians sports that Canada has traditionally excelled at internationally like track and field, swimming and boxing.
Instead, in an typical Canadian government attempt at total appeasement, the money is spread too thin, on too many sports or programs that are popular only in certain regions, or arent even Olympic events. For instance, Sport Canada gave $203,000 to the Canadian Broomball Federation this year and $300,000 to something called Motivate Canada.
Olympic hopeful
Melich is currently seeking sponsors for his fighter, whom he believes is a good bet to win a medal for Canada at next summers London Olympic, even though he will just be turning 19. Canada hasnt won a medal in Olympic boxing since the 1996 Atlanta Games. Before that, the Canadian boxing team almost always won medals at Olympics.
Canadas boxing team at the last Games, 2008 in Beijing, consisted of one fighter, Windsor welterweight Adam Trupish, who had all of one fight, losing 20-1 to Bakhyt Sarsekbayev of Kazakhstan, who eventually won the gold medal a sad showing, but the new reality in Canadian amateur boxing.
Part of the reason for the poor showing of Canadian fighters in recent years is a lack of funding, for coaching, training and competition. Increasingly, Canadian boxers are being told to come up with their own money to represent Canada on the world stage.
And its not that the federal money isnt there. Its that its been spent the wrong way.

The people of Sindh had to face the onslaught of mother nature once again as a heavy dust storm struck late Saturday evening.
In Karachi, a woman and a teenage boy were electrocuted after a electricity pole fell in Gulshan-e-Hadeed and Kharadar. A dozen people were also wounded in Saddar, Gulberg and North Nazimabad.
In Hyderabad, 35-year-old Majeedan Malik was killed and her three children were injured when the roof of their house collapsed in Sanjhoro area of Sanghar district.
The winds reached the speed of up to 50 knots (92 kph) with visibility as low as 50 kilometres in Karachi while its speed was recorded at 10 knots in Hyderabad.
The heavy winds originated from Balochistan and also hit Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas, Sanghar, Bhitshah, Shaheed Benazirabad and Tando Mohammad Khan districts as rain and thunder were reported.
The storm is not part of any greater weather system ,according to the metrological office and rise and drop in the temperature is part of the local weather patterns. However, the wind gusts are stronger than the ones which came in March.
Even if the dust storm calms down and the winds stop blowing within two hours it can still take over 12 hours for the dust to dissipate. It can cause irritability in the eyes and breathing problems, especially to those with existing allergies, but the biggest danger is from flying debris.
Rural Sindh glad that it will have electricity for six hours
In Sukkur,the power supply to more than 100 cities, towns and villages of Sindh and Balochistan was restored on Saturday, after a dust storm had damaged five 132 kilovolt electricity towers between Guddu and Tangwani on Thursday.
Jacobabad, Thull, Mirpur Buriro, Bahoo Khoso, Mubarakpur, Manjhipur, Jungal and others in Sindh, while Jafferabad, Suhbatpur, Panhwar Sanhri, Belput and others in Baluchistan suffered additional power outages in the wake of the dust storm.
However, residents of Sukkur are often spared from the agony when Federal Religious Affairs Minister Khursheed Ahmed Shah is in town. Naudero reportedly receives uninterrupted power supply as the city houses the Presidential Camp Office.
Khairpur, hometown of Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah, witnesses nearly twelve hours of power outages every day. B

India's largest domestic institutional investor, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) invested Rs 23,000 crore in equities for the financial year 2013, informs Chairman DK Mehrotra. "We have not rushed into it in Q4 to buy more stocks…but it has been smooth and uniform participation for us in 2012-13,†he told CNBC-TV18 in an interview.
India's largest domestic institutional investor, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) invested Rs 23,000 crore in equities for the financial year 2013, informs Chairman DK Mehrotra. "We have not rushed into it in Q4 to buy more stocks but it has been smooth and uniform participation for us in 2012-13," he told CNBC-TV18 in an interview.

LIC has booked a profit of Rs 20,000 crore by selling equities this year so far, against Rs 9,000 crore last fiscal. Mehrotra says, it was a "completely commercial decision" and the FY13 profit is the highest for the state-owned insurer in the last seven-eight years.
LIC has invested Rs 30,000 crore this financial year so far, most of it in public offers of state-run companies as it had to bail out the government's share shale programme that was threatened by lukewarm investor response in the first half of the year.
Going forward, Mehrotra says, the insurance firm plans on investing Rs 2.15 lakh crore in equities in FY14. "We have not earmarked investment amount of the first quarter of FY14," he says.
Below is the verbatim transcript of DK Mehrotra's interview on CNBC-TV18
Q: To set the landscape out for what is happening with Life Insurance Corporation (LIC), what is your current exposure to equities and did that change a lot through the course of Q4?
A: Last year we had put in about Rs 23,000 crore in equity. We are a regular investor. Therefore, total for the year is Rs 23,000 crore that we did last year.
Q: Was there was a lot of change in terms of various sectors or stocks that you had exposure to through the course of Q4?
A: Not much, but it is not that we rushed into it in Q4 to buy more stocks. It's a continuous process for us and we keep on doing it throughout the year. We have a strong research team that keeps us giving the reports. We also scan the market considering the movement of the market, considering the availability of the stocks and scrip, we keep on participating. So, I won't say there was a big change in Q4. It has been a very smooth and uniform participation in the market for the year '12-13.
Q: There was quite a bit of selling by LIC through the course of Q4. What was that sensibly towards, was it basically to raise money for some of the government offerings, was it a call that you were taking on the condition of the market at that point?
A: We never sell anything to raise money for any other purpose. It was absolutely a commercial decision, we wanted to book profit. The profit that we booked last year has been the highest in the last almost seven-eight years because we did get good opportunities. I know that we are at times contradicting our view also and that has paid us, we made good profit last year.
Q: What about Q1 in that case, at this point what has LIC set aside in terms of money that you want to deploy into equities?
A: We do not earmark any amount for Q1 because we have an annual figure. This year we are proposing to put about Rs 2.15 lakh crore in the market and it will again depend on the opportunities when we get them. If we get good opportunities in Q1, we will definitely participate in that but presently we have a thumb rule of putting 10-15 percent in equity and the rest in the other instruments. So, we are planning to put about Rs 2.15 lakh crore in this fiscal.
Q: We were speaking with Som Mittal of NASSCOM about the pressure that IT companies have faced. What is your call on IT, something that LIC had exposure to in the past?
A: In IT space we have seen little stress. This is because it is one industry, which is not in demand, maybe it is a temporary phenomenon. But going by the demand for the industry, going by the demand in IT technology and especially with the growth story, which is very much intact in the country, the industry will definitely bounce back.
Q: Specifically on Infosys though you sold quite a large chunk, 70 lakh shares through the course of Q4. Would you be concerned about the kind of fall this stock price has seen and the impact on your portfolio?
A: There is no matter of concern for us. We will take a call when matters get worse. But presently, we are very comfortable and have no immediate cause of concern with them.

A small crowd of protesters rallied outside the Federal Courthouse in San Diego Monday in support of a Honduran man who says he was denied asylum in the U.S. as a result of poor legal representation.
Omar Aguilar Lopez said he fears his return to Honduras, where he fled from five years ago after rising violence threatened his life. His older brother and two other family members were killed before he left, and his younger brother was detained by government officials, he said.
After coming into contact with immigration officials, Lopez filed for defensive asylum.
Lopez hired attorney Guy Grande to represent him to a judge, who eventually gave Lopez the option to proceed or accept voluntary departure, Grande said.
Lopez alleges that Grande met with him just once before his trial. Grande denied this accusation, claiming that he and employees in his offices met with Lopez "several times" before the trial.
Lopez also claims that due to language barriers and what he believes was carelessness, immigration judge Henry P. Ipema saw conflicting information in Lopez's application and testimony. Items such as the date Lopez entered the country were then inconsistent with his testimony, Lopez and Grande said.
The two are at odds over who is responsible for the outcome of Lopez's case.
"I recall the testimony not going our way," Grande said. "The judge was having issues with credibility and the strength of [Lopez's] claims. He decided on his own to accept voluntary departure."
As to why Lopez would choose to voluntarily return to Honduras, Grande chalked it up to naiveté on Lopez's part.
Regardless of the mistakes, Lopez said the process of gaining asylum is a biased system.
"The asylum cases are determined by the judge, so one judge might say this and another might say that," Lopez said through translator Enrique Morones.
He said asylum should not be determined by one judge, rather predetermined qualifications – such as life-threatening conditions.
"If you're seeking asylum and you qualify under concrete conditions, regardless of the judge you get asylum, and if you don't qualify you don't qualify," he said.
Lopez plans hire another attorney, claiming he was misrepresented by Grande, Morones said.
"I understand why he's upset. He doesn't want to go back," Grande said.
Others at the rally held signs criticizing the Obama administration for increased deportations since his term began. The group of protesters later joined the Occupy San Diego demonstration.

How Will I Know?
Dear Sugar
I have been with my boyfriend for a year and a half, we are both 28, and I look forward to a future of marriage and children with him. I do love him, but how am I supposed to know if he is the "one"? People are constantly telling me that you'll just know, but what if I am not built like that?
My two previous relationships were very tumultuous and I was constantly trying to fix them even though I knew they were wrong for me. These relationships left me broken hearted but it never stopped me from having strong feelings for them.
My current boyfriend is the complete opposite. We have wonderful communication, he treats me very well, and we enjoy being together. I am worried because although I love and can't imagine being with anyone else, I don't feel head-over-heels for him like I have in the past. How can I tell if my feelings for him are marriage-worthy? Bewildered Betty
To see DEARSUGAR's answer
Dear Bewildered Betty
I think many women have the same dilemma you do in questioning if their boyfriend is the right person for them. As frustrating as this may be, only you can be the judge if he is right for you. What is causing your hesitation? Are you comparing your relationship with your current boyfriend to ones in the past?
It sounds like your past relationships were wrong from the start, so the fact that you feel differently for your current boyfriend is great news. If you could look into a magic ball, can you imagine your life with this man? What are the qualities you love so much about him? Do you want the same things out of life? These are the important questions to ponder when asking yourself if he is marriage worthy.
Being head-over-heels for someone isn't necessarily what marriage and a wonderful relationship is based on, but if you are having hesitation if he is the one, perhaps you need to reevaluate your relationship. Take a step back before you rush into an engagement when you know you are not ready. Good luck.

You seem to have it all – a successful career, sparkling wit and personal appeal – and yet why is getting to meet a likable date such hard work. Dating experts often speak of looking at places where there is a larger pool of potential dating partners for greater success. So if you are a guy and still unattached, the following list can be useful in deciding where to look since these US cities have a higher number of women as compared to men.
TIP: Visit Match.com to browse photos of single women by zip code and meet someone this weekend.
- New York City
The greatest concentration of women in United States according to a news report in The Boston Globe 1 is in Greater New York. Here single women outnumbered single men by more than 210,000 in the report dated March 2008 and things are hardly different now. The large percentage of single women as compared to single men in major metropolitan centers like New York City can be ascribed to the fact that women in their marriageable years tend to gravitate to these centers in order to find successful male partners. Moreover women who are smart and successful professionals themselves are likely to stay single longer as the take their time choosing partners most eligible for them.
- Philadelphia
The largest city in the state of Pennsylvania is yet another major center where women outnumber men in the country. According to statistics provided by the 2000 US Census, for every hundred females aged eighteen and over, there were around eighty-one males. Moreover Philadelphia is one of the few cities where the African-American population at 43% is comparable to the white population at 45% and thus one of the best cities in US for black single men to look for female partners.
- Washington D.C
The capital of United States appears to be yet another happy hunting ground for single men of the country. Here the percentage of single women heading families seems particularly high at more than 50% of all families with children less than eighteen years. So if you are looking to date unattached women in this city, be prepared to come across single moms. Also with 46% of its residents boasting of a four-year college degree, better brush up your intellectual skills too.
- Detroit
Along with major metropolitan centers along the East Coast, the Midwest is another part of the country where women outnumber men in numbers. Detroit in fact has 20,000 women more than men which can be a great advantage to men looking to date in this industrial city.
- Memphis
This city in American Southeast too has one of the highest concentrations of women with the ratio of men to women one of the lowest in the country at 88:100. Relationship experts in the city point out that the faltering economy of Memphis is largely to blame – the lower the economy sinks, the lesser there is to attract wealthy successful men here.
- Birmingham
The largest city in the state of Alabama, Birmingham appears to be the frontrunner as far as cities with the largest concentration of women are concerned. For every hundred females aged eighteen and over, there were just around eighty men in the city according to figures provided in the 2000 US Census. The gradual shift of the city's economy from heavy industries to financial services and education perhaps reflects the heavy tilt towards its female residents.
- New Orleans
Yet another city from the American South to have a higher female to male ratio is New Orleans. Here for every 100 females, there are only 89 men according to figures from the 2000 US Census. New Orleans might owe its heavy concentration of female residents to its floundering economy, especially after Hurricane Katrina wreaked havoc on the city, which motivates men to seek their fortunes in other places.
- Richmond
The capital city of the Commonwealth of Virginia in United States, Richmond is famous for several important government, legal and financial institutions. This might help to explain why the city attracts professional women rather than men. In fact according to figures from 2000 US Census, for every hundred women in the city there are just around eighty-three men. So if you are a single guy looking for an educated and smart woman as a partner, Richmond may just be the place for you.
- Miami
Remember all those shots of Miami which show gorgeous tanned women frolicking on the beach. Well, they may not be very far from truth what with the city having a slightly higher concentration of women as compared to men. Statistics from 2000 US Census reveal that the city has around ninety-seven men for every hundred women above the age of eighteen. So take advantage of the balmy weather and head for the most popular hangouts in the city. These usually range from the exotic beaches like the Palm Beach and Sunny Isles Beach to upscale pubs and bars of the downtown area like Virginia Key, Watson and the Port.
- Boston
The Greater Boston Area - including cities like Cambridge, Lowell, Brockton and Quincy - has a relatively lower ratio of women outnumbering men. However the place still has around 1600 more women than men. At the same time this near perfect balance of singles is not only rare among large cities in the country but in fact good news for all those looking for a partner. This is because singles attract other singles as evident from a number of studies which show that young people choose where to live first and then look for a suitable job there. The news report in The Boston Globe mentions a survey conducted by Forbes magazine where young singles of both genders were asked about what mattered most in the places they lived, and more said "number of other singles" rather than "great career prospects".

Ratings up 32 percent for Champions League on FSC
Published May 23, 2011, Page 9
Champions League also brought new advertisers to the network and became the first sports property to be spread across Fox's six different channels: FSC, Fox Soccer Plus, Fox Deportes, FSN, FX and Fox. In December, Fox extended its exclusive rights with the tournament until the 2014-15 season.
"When you see the results we've had with [Champions League] it shows why we're picking it up for another five years," said David Nathanson, FSC's executive vice president and general manager. "The [Champions League] gave us a midweek fixture and gave us a vehicle to promote our weekend programming."
Nathanson said ad inventory for Champions League games sold out for the 2010-11 season, and that inventory for Saturday's final between FC Barcelona and Manchester United sold out in January. That game will be shown live on Fox at 2:45 p.m. Eastern.
"The reality is that if we had known [Barcelona and Manchester United] were going to be in the finals we probably could have charged more," Nathanson said. "[Champions League] has broadened our portfolio and raised the quality of [advertisers]."
Pizza Hut, Heineken and Acura came on as new Champions League sponsors this year, and Geico, State Farm Insurance, Volkswagen and Asics footwear renewed from the 2009-10 tournament. For the first time, Apple bought ad time with FSC for the Champions League finals. Nathanson declined to reveal ad revenue.
The Champions League semifinals on FX also performed well — the April 27 semifinal between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid garnered 489,000 viewers, while 308,000 watched the May 4 game between Manchester United and FC Schalke.
Fox will debut a new "Live from London" pregame show on Friday night on FSC, and the network will add 30 minutes to its pregame show on Saturday, beginning at 1 p.m. Nathanson said that for the 2011-12 Champions League tournament, Fox will add a live on-field reporter for UEFA matches — it now relies on reporters from the local broadcast.
The bump in total viewership brings FSC closer to the tournament's peak viewership on ESPN, which controlled rights to the league for more than a decade but was outbid by Fox and Setanta Sports in 2009. The 2009 Champions League averaged 287,000 viewers on ESPN. FSC is distributed in 39 million homes, while ESPN is in 99.5 million homes.

The lights are on
Yesterday might have been a rough day for online services, but maybe you got some game time in with your family and friends anyway. Whether you've been gathering around the TV since Anticipation on the NES or started more recently with Wii Sports, gaming has an important place in some family traditions.
Did you get your family together to don cat suits in Super Mario 3D World? Maybe you and your family locked and loaded for Call of Duty or Battlefield. There wasn't any football on the television, so Madden could have been your digital diversion of choice.
Let us know if you made any new gaming memories with your family or friends during the holiday. If you've got a tale that isn't so contemporary you want to share, we'd be glad to hear that, too.

Style Crush!
2. Who are your fashion icons?Hmmmm.. I love Katie Holmes (post Dawsons of course :). She has impeccable style. Classic but still a little funky..and with her personality added in for sure.
Where do you go for fashion inspiration?
Magazines. Always have. Always will. I fold down the pages of things I love..and then try to find a cheaper version. Oh and Pinterest…duh.
What are the top three places you shop?
Nordstrom. J.Crew. Forever 21. Lately…Target too. Target is doing AMAZING things right now.
How do you think others can achieve a truly individual/unique style?
I would say..do what feels right for YOU. Just because something is "trendy" doesn't mean you HAVE to do it – – or that it will be right for your style.
You can't just look at other people and dress like them. We would all like crazy clones.
Why is the way you look/dress important to you?
For sure. I'd be lying if I said it didn't. When I DO have time to get ready (date night or a trip to Target) ;0..when I get ready/look good…I FEEL BETTER. It's something about a cute outfit that just makes you feel like you can take on the world!What fashion or styling tips would you give to women who want to improve their sense of style?

only new to bodybuilding.com but have been following heaps of the posts here
i know you guys have probably seen this post hundreds of times, probably thousands!
but I am a 20 yr old that has been training for quiet a while now and still hard to gain serious gains
i weight 71 kgs (151 pounds) and find it hard to increase weight. Ive been at this weight for quiet a while and supplements don't seem to be helping quiet a lot. I eat clean and eat whatever i can get in my mouth.
I recently got told by a mate to have a look at finaflex and was just seeing if you guys have taken it and what you recommend on it?
What types of proteins do you recommend? I train 4-5 times a week and only recently (about 4-5 months ago) had a knee reconstruction so still doing a bit of rehab on my knee.

Weight gains will come from eating at a caloric surplus, and thats what you need to do for your goal of putting on size/weight. If your having trouble getting those calories in you could look into getting Mass-Tech. Its a pretty well rounded gainer that will you help you get your macros in.

What FinaFlex product are you looking at? The ones such as 1-ANDRO can't be discussed here.
Other than that, mtownballer 20 is a smart guy. I would just suggest making your own gainer vs. a store bought one if you have the time and resources.Emblica Officinalis - http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=173452371

Start in the nutrition section (stickies go through calculating calorie and macro needs) and determine what your nutrition plan is. If after looking at everything you determine you need a protein supplement to help pack in extra protein and calories then I'd personally suggest getting whey that fits your budget and macro needs.
The macros and calories will vary slightly depending on the specific brands or whatnot you use but a quick example of what I make usually is below. You could throw ice cream in there, olive oil, more PB, etc. This is (imo) a basic homemade shake though and for a min in the blender I'm happy to gulp down 1k calories
16oz whole milk
2sc whey
1 banana (personally pref - the PB/choc/banana flavor combo you get is awesome)
2tbsp PB
1c oats (you may want to crush the oats into more of a powder if you don't think you'll like the consistency)
add ice if you want a more milkshake/thicker consistency

Examination of April's Trade Data Leads to A Few Surprises
The United States Census Bureau released its monthly merchandise trade data report, which tracks the movement of goods between foreign countries and the United States, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and US Foreign Trade Zones. The report found that the country's deficit in goods and services increased to $29.2 billion in April from $28.5 billion in March. To further understand the government's trade numbers, Zepol Corporation has created an update showing the top five surprises within the data.
Specifically, Zepol highlights the following items:
1. Decrease in Imports was driven by Air and Other transportation types
Zepol's containerized trade update for April showed the number of shipments processed by US Customs' Automated Manifest System slightly increased from March (1%). However, this only covered containerized, vessel shipments. The US Census data illustrated that the value of shipments by vessel was flat (down just 0.14%), while air shipments were down over 4.2%. Many of these shipments are higher in value than those imported by other means. In addition, shipments by rail and truck were down about 2%.
2. Exports to Iran grew over 500% in the last year
Exports to Iran are low when compared to most of the United States' other trading partners (only $36.4m). However today's numbers still dwarf last April's exports to Iran of $5.7m. Most of the products that were shipped to Iran were from the following Harmonized Tariff System categories: HTS 1201.00.0040 ' Soybeans (64%), HTS 30 ' Pharmaceutical Products (27%), 4703.21.0040 - Chemical Wood Pulp, Sulfate or Soda (3%), and HTS 3906.90.6000 - Other Acrylic Polymers in Primary Forms (3%).
3. Most highly-trafficked container ports are suffering
Containerized imports for the top 5 container ports are down by at least 17%. Only a couple of years ago, there was great concern over port congestion, but we do not expect as many voices will be raising alarms for some time.

4. Oil imports are down over 53% from last April
The United States is still importing a lot less oil this year by price, but not by weight. There has been a lot of talk about the trade balance decreasing over the last year. While this is true, a large part of imports, when analyzing the data by value, is tied to the price of oil. With the latest increases in the price of oil, Zepol expects the trade deficit to increase in May and likely in June as well.
5. Corn exports are stable by weight, but value has decreased from 2008
Even in a recession, it appears that corn exports (HTS 1005.90 ' Corn or Maize other than Seed) are stable. The price has decreased over the last year, but as the growing season started in April, US farmers were still shipping over 3.75 million metric tons of corn by vessel to the rest of the world. Most corn shipments go to Asia with Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan taking up the top three destinations of US shipments.
'It is said that trade makes up about 15% of the total economy, but the impact on our economic system is more significant because trade is often the bellwether of consumer de

Guest Blogger: Bob & Berkley Wellstein Speaking About International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day
Today, October 15, is International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. We never thought that we would be personally affected by the significance of this day.
On July 6, 2011, we found out that our lives would be forever changed. We were going to have a baby! Since before marriage we had been looking forward to having children together and our first, much to our surprise, was going to be a girl.
Pregnancy was fairly easy for me, minus the general fatigue and backaches. I truly enjoyed being pregnant, but we could not wait to meet our little girl. We had started to get everything ready for her eventual arrival. The clothes and blankets were washed and folded in the laundry room, the crib and dresser had arrived, and we were getting more and more excited. However, on January 24, 2012, everything changed.
I had felt a lack of movement from the baby. I called the doctor who told us to come in for a quick check and monitor of the baby. Feeling a little relief, we headed to the hospital. Once we got back to the room, the nurse squirted the jelly on my 32½ week pregnant belly and then there was silence. She frantically moved the doppler all around, waiting for the sound of the baby's heart. Nothing. Doctors and nurses came in with an ultrasound machine and confirmed what they already knew, our baby had died.
We chose to be admitted and induced labor immediately. Nineteen hours later, on January 25, 2012 at 7:24 p.m., Jane Berkley Wellstein was born still. She had her father's facial features, blonde hair and my fingers and toes. She was beautiful.
Leaving the hospital with only memories of Jane was extremely difficult, but from that moment we knew that we wanted to do something to keep Jane's memory alive. After researching different ideas, we decided to create the Jane B. Wellstein Memorial Fund. Giving back to Northwestern's Prentice Women's Hospital was extremely important to us due to the amazing care and support they provided during our stay. It would also provide us a platform to support other parents and families within our community who will unfortunately find themselves in a very similar situation.
Throughout labor and delivery, Bob, as well as our family members, were asked to go to the waiting room. The room was filled with happy and celebrating families, while they were in tears. When the idea was presented to us about creating a private space for grieving families on the labor and delivery floor, it was obvious — this was our calling. After months of meetings and collaboration with the hospital's philanthropy director, the idea of Jane's Room was created.
Our first Jane's Room project at Northwestern's Prentice Women's Hospital in Chicago was unveiled on January 25, 2013. We are currently working on the second Jane's Room project at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. With continued support, we will be able to move the Jane's Room idea to other hospitals in the Chicago area and potentially around the country.
While we continue to miss Jane every day, we feel her presence as we continue to help those who unfortunately will have to endure a similar tragedy. Though she's not here in our arms, her short life has made an incredible impact on our family and others, and for that we feel truly blessed.
Written by Bob and Berkley Wellstein who lost their baby

The Calgary Hitmen know the value of getting off to a quick start.
Last season, the Hitmen busted out of the gates and posted a 7-0 record en route to a 101-point campaign.
Hitting triple digits again in '06-07 might be a bit of a stretch in the ultra-competitive Central Division.
But GM/head coach Kelly Kisio, whose club takes its 2-0 record into Regina tonight, said victories in September are just as valuable as those in March.
"Winning those seven in a row last year gave us a leg up and the good start is always a key for the confidence," Kisio said
"We won those seven but we didn't feel we were playing that well. And it's the same this year. The first two games, we didn't play real well.
"We managed to win the games but by no means are we happy with how we're playing."
Calgary broke the ice with an opening weekend sweep of the Red Deer Rebels by identical 3-2 wins, the second in overtime.
Last season's streak was eventually snapped by the Moose Jaw Warriors, who also ended Calgary's season in a seven-game Eastern Conference final. The Hitmen will face the Warriors Friday in Moose Jaw before finishing the trip in Brandon Saturday.
Calgary's offence received a boost before hitting the road when Swedish winger Robin Figren was returned by the New York Islanders. But Kisio doesn't expect the import to light it up immediately.
"It's going to be an adjustment period for him," he said. "All the young Europeans who come over, it always takes them a while to get used to the small ice, how quick it is and how good the league is.
"We'll see how he does here down the line."
The Hitmen, ranked No. 8 in the country, return to the 'Dome Oct. 6 to take on the Kootenay Ice.

It has been almost a decade since that pinot-pushing movie Sideways sucker-punched merlot, resulting in declining popularity and sales for the grape. Miles' disdain for the grape is a bit ironic when you consider his prized bottle of Cheval Blanc is a blend of merlot and cabernet franc (another grape he dismissed). Thankfully, the variety has made a comeback, and rightfully so. Merlot makes a lovely, fruit-forward, accessible wine that works as well on it's own as it does with food. We went a little up scale this week. After all, it's the holiday season.
2006 Bianchi Particular Merlot, $27
Produced by Argentina's Valentin Bianchi from its very beginning in 1928, this wine was originally just for family and friends. It opens with lovely aromas of cherry liqueur and spicy boysenberry, with touches of anise, mocha and leather. There are lots of lush blueberry and cherry fruit on the smooth, mellow palate. Soft oak and creamy chocolate come through on the velvety finish.
2008 MercerMerlot, $24
Merlot is the grape that, in the 1980s, helped give Washington a well-deserved reputation for producing world-class wines. Mercer was around then and is still going strong today as this effort proves with its spicy plum and earthy berry aromas. This is a lean and lively wine that grows more expressive with time in the glass. The flavors are marked by silky blueberry, with a touch of mint and soft tannins on the finish.
2008 TwomeyMerlot, $43
Twomey is the maiden name of Silver Oak founder Ray Duncan's mother. It is the merlot venture for this famed California cabernet producer and opens with lightly tart black cherry aromas that meld nicely with nuances of nutmeg, chocolate and earth. This is an elegantly structured wine with round, ripe cherry fruit flavors, backed by subtle green and kalamata olives. Soft tannins add grip on the long supple finish.
