A testcase to reproduce this issue is attached.
Steps to reproduce this issue:
1. http://localhost:8080/jsf2testcase/components.jsf
2. you can see the value of one of the attributes of the self-defined composite component at 'Panel1'
2. click 'Panel2'
3. click 'Panel1'
4. value at 'Panel1' is not shown anymore. (if you refresh the page with 'F5' after that, the value is there again)
This behaviour occurs with the latest myfaces-2.1.2-SNAPSHOT (30.06.2011)
With an older version of myfaces-2.1.2-SNAPSHOT (22.06.2011) and with myfaces-2.1.1 everything works as expected.

Not sure what if anything richfaces is contributing to the mix here, but I'd like to note that I have seen this behavior for composite component attributes when PSS is disabled on a JSF app with only core components in use. I simply hadn't put together the sample yet to submit the issue myself.
Maybe this is caused by the commit done on
MYFACES-3182. It could be good to have a test without richfaces jars, just to keep things simple, and create a junit test case for this one.
Here is a second testcase without richfaces.
Steps to reproduce:
1. http://loclahost:8080/jsf2testcasewithoutrichfaces/components.jsf
2. click the button
3. value is not shown anymore
Great! I was also going to say that yes, it has to do with ajax updates.
Thanks for the example. It helped a lot to find out the problem
To reproduce it properly it is necessary to set this param:
and PSS should be disabled.
There are two small bugs:
1. We don't enable PSS when faces-config version is 2.1, only when 2.0 is set. We need to add that check too.
2. There are some wrappers for ValueExpression/MethodExpression that requires to implement Externalizable, to be saved and restored correctly.
The good news are if you add this on your web.xml:
PSS will be enabled and everything will work well. Thanks a lot for the examples, they were very useful solving this issue.
The fix raises a new issue:
If you expicit define
in web.xml an exception occurs if you use the ajax-button:
01.07.2011 11:59:15 org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.ServerSideStateCacheImpl deserializeView
SCHWERWIEGEND: Exiting deserializeView - Could not deserialize state: org.apache.myfaces.view.facelets.el.LocationValueExpressionUEL; org.apache.myfaces.view.facelets.el.LocationValueExpressionUEL; no valid constructor
java.io.InvalidClassException: org.apache.myfaces.view.facelets.el.LocationValueExpressionUEL; org.apache.myfaces.view.facelets.el.LocationValueExpressionUEL; no valid constructor
A new testcase with the todays (01.07.2011) SNAPSHOT of myfaces is attached.
The issue is still not solved entirely.
With "javax.faces.PARTIAL_STATE_SAVING" set to "false" in web.xml, the value still disappear (the only good thing is, that there are no further exceptions like in my comment before). Only with the parameter set to "true" it will now work as expected.
But with myfaces-2.1.1 it works in both cases.
I checked it again and it is true. Some days ago we did a fix over PostAddToViewEvent publishing code that call pushComponentToEL. The effect of this code is call UIComponent.isCompositeComponent(), that call getAttributes().containsKey(), but since only the tree structure is being restored, it returns false. The solution is be sure the events can be propagates before publish/traverse and add another var that checks if the composite component has been set, to ensure this is called after the component is completely restored. Now it works, but please feel free to reopen it as many times as necessary until get this one solved.

And Fikkle Lives Up To His Name…
So posting has been a bit slow over the last couple days as I've been in game speccing all of my alts, which sucks having to build that many talent specs from the ground up. So far, the only ones I haven't screwed up are my Hunter spec and my lowbie (level 16s) specs. I haven't done Fikkle's yet as he's barely even been logged in. I didn't do hardly any research on Mages on the PTR, so I had no clue about the changes to their talents and abilities and spells and such. So I took the time to go and read up on them at Critical QQ.
By the way, if you want to get some Magey goodness, and laugh your butt off in the process, that's the place to go. A quick little sample, if you will:
"We PvP'ers have a word for casting 3 second long spells, and that word is 'suicide'." – Euripides
Pretty much anything he posts makes me laugh a great deal. As a bit of a confession, I've been back on the mage in the past few weeks. I decided it was time to get Fikkle decked out in some armor that actually looked good, and it just so happens that I absolutely love the way the Merciless set looks on him. He's a BElf, he needs his damn accessories.
Anyways, I pvp'd the crap out of him last week, picking him up the S2 Chest and Helm. He still needs the shoulders and legs, but I'm likely only gonna bother with the shoulders before Wrath hits since you can't
'see' the pants. I'm not sure whether I'm going to be interested in leveling him to 80 anytime soon after the patch hits, so he may stay at 70 for quite a while. Even if I do, he'll likely not be more than a teleporter, disenchanter and a vending machine. Such is his role in life. Anyways, I'll get a screenshot up in the next week or two after he gets his new shoulders. Not that any of you haven't seen the Merciless set on a BElf Mage or anything, but just for fun.
As far as leveling in WOTLKEE, I wrote a few days back about how we're planning to do the 5HPoA. Pie will be the Hunter-Tank, Nim will be the MM, Aba is considering being the Survivalist and Vrug and myself will likely be the BM dps'ers. Since I'd like to keep my hunter with that group, I'm going to need another toon to get to 80 when we're not all on together, and seeing as I'm taking two weeks off after the expansion hits, I'll have plenty of time to level. To that end, I've thought a lot about what my choices are. I could go with Fikkle, and thus, my first 60 and 70 toon would also be my first 80 toon, but to be honest, I'm not really all that interested in playing the Mage class anymore, despite the fact that I still read up on it on occasion. As for the Druid, well I'm sorry to all the shifty flora and fauna out there, but I'm not really feelin the Druid anymore. Will I ever level him to 80? Probably. Will it happen anytime soon? Nope. So those are my 3 70's (counting the hunter, obviously), so what's left?
Well I have some other toons in their 60's that I've been really enjoying lately, and with the recent changes to leveling from 60-70 I should be able to get them to 70 before Wrath hits. First, there is my lock, who leveled Demo and now has the demon form (because I'm fickle and it looks cool… huh, c wut I did thar?). As far as level 80 aspiriations for the lock, I don't care to do any raiding, but I do want to do pvp with the lock. Since my lock is fairly new, I don't have honor or marks saved up and I'll need to get to 80 quick to keep up with the Joneseses, or something like that.
Second, there is (one) of my Shammies. Currently, I'm planning to level my Enh Shammy first. Likely though, with the talent reset, I'm going to spec him resto, make him my lock's follow toon and dual-box them to 70. When he hits 70, however, he'll be going Enhance again. While I haven't had a ton of experience playing the shaman, and to be fairly honest, I could use a lot, this would be a good way to get it. My Shammies were both leveled to 60 without doing much. (One was a follow toon for the lock, the other was granted levels from 30-60). So I need to learn how to play the enhance shammy. Luckily for me, the changes that came along with patch 3.0.2 have made the class somewhat different, and so I won't have to unlearn anything really to learn the new stuff. That being said, when he hits 70, I'll likely walk myself into the nearest BG and spend as many hours as I can (stand) getting my helm handed to me to find out how to play one.
I also have a pally and a priest around level 60, but neither are all that enticing to me to want to play them. So the toss up for me is not going to be which toon to get to 80, but in what order will I get all of my toons to 80. I'm currently leaning heavily toward my shammy, but depending on how fun the lock is to play between 70 and 80 with the new demonform, I may change my mind. Well, wish me luck getting numbers 4 and 5 to 70. Oh, and if you have an opinion about which I should choose (lock or shammy) and why, please feel free to convince me to play one! There could be a reward…
— Fikkle
May the Horde be with you!
6 Responses to "And Fikkle Lives Up To His Name…"
Misspent points…I snuck out of work early on Wednesday to go home and play and I spent my talent points…without doing any research…and probably misspent a whole bunch. But since when I hit 70 (more than 1/2-way through 68 now!) I'm just going to respec Affliction, it doesn't really matter. Something is bugged with my metamorph though, the spell is not showing up in my spell book despite the talent point being there in my talents section. Once I hit 70 I'll continue duel-logging my shadow priest/fire mage combo (they are the fun to play) – and now I have two 22″ monitors so I can officially be a wowdork.
So you don't want to make your pally ret and murdersauce everything? There is so much chat complaining about how OP they are right now it's hard not to laugh – since normally people are like "ugh, lock, OP!"
@ Sydney – That was me saying "ugh, lock, OP! Nerf! Q.Q! Anyways, as far as metamorphosis goes, it doesn't go on your action bars because the ability is put above them much like the druid forms, the warrior stances, etc. Have a look, should be there. I was trying it out on my 60 lock the other day and jumping up and down so the wings would flap. I don't even care if it is the worst spec evar, I love being a demon!
As far as the pally goes, I may level him ret, but the whole point of the pally was to be my tank. I have a ton of dps classes and specifically leveled a druid to heal and a pally to tank. Obviously, I could switch those around if I wanted to, but I'd have to do much more research into which will be more beneficial for each.
Thanks for the comment!

The potential government rescue plans of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac has been a big news story this week. Politico noticed a non-disclosure by CNBC and CBS News relating to one of the guests brought on to talk about the topic.
On Monday morning on CNBC's Squawk Box, and Monday night in a CBS Evening News report, Howard Glaser was identified as a consultant, but who he is a paid consultant for was not — specifically, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
CNBC and CBS News admitted the error.
"In this case, we weren't aware of it. In the future, such relationships will be disclosed to the audience," said CNBC spokesperson Kevin Goldman in the article.
Said CBS News spokesperson Jen Farley: "Had we known in advance of any relationship, it would have obviously influenced our story."
Glaser's consulting relationship had been disclosed in the past, including a May 19 interview with Maria Bartiromo on CNBC.

So hey I guess it's time for my once a year journal entry in which I inform you all nothing has changed, my artwork hasn't gotten any better, and I'm still a massive loser. Only more so these days I guess because I'm 30 now and everyone knows if you're not in your teens or twenties you're not worth a damn.
Despite all this I am still painting with the hopes that I'll sell them. Stupid I know, it hasn't worked before and yet here I am still plugging away at it. That's the definition of insanity isn't it? Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results? I guess this is me admitting insanity.
First step to solving a problem is admitting you have one, right?
I'll try to upload some things. I've said that before I know. But I'll still try.
If I fail again and don't update (and you know I will) I hope you all have a lovely year, and I'll see you next year with likely the same message!

What's degrading and what isn't is all a matter of opinion. Some women would find it degrading, while others don't. If your girlfriend does not like the idea of it and does not want to do it, that's ok.

Yes, it's totally subjective. Personall, as a female, I find it degrading to the
to spit!! Guys deal with a girl's taste when he does oral on her; she should deal with his taste. Semen does not taste that bad to me, and I find spitting anywhere at any time to be insulting, degrading and disgusting so I defiantely wouldn't do it during sex.

Cochlear Implant Gives Grandmother a New Lease on Life
Carol Rudy knew her life was better when she heard her husband making an annoying sucking sound with his teeth.
Though the noise irritated her, she was just happy that she could hear it.
Carol suffered from severe hearing loss for decades. As a baby in the early 1940s, her pediatrician accidently punctured her eardrum, and she has a family history of hearing loss. After turning 50, she began to see doctors and wear progressively more powerful hearing aids. This went on for 20 years, and around the time she turned 70, even the strongest hearing aids weren't helping.
Her four children encouraged her to consider receiving a cochlear implant. Carol hesitated. She wasn't ready.
"The unknown is terrible," she said. "You just can't imagine what's going to happen."
Despite her fear, with near complete hearing loss, Carol also knew she wasn't herself anymore.
"I didn't want to go to church anymore, because I couldn't hear," she said. "You just don't want to go out. You become antisocial."
Carol Rudy spending time with her family.
Elderly Hearing Loss Taking a Health Toll
"Hearing loss may have a profoundly detrimental effect on older people's physical and mental well-being, and even health care resources," says Frank Lin, M.D., Ph.D. of the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery in a recent research study. "Our results underscore why hearing loss should not be considered an inconsequential part of aging, but an important issue for public health."
According to Lin, as many as 27 million Americans over age 50, including two-thirds of men and women aged 70 years and older, suffer from some form of hearing loss.
For Carol, she finally decided she was missing too much. She wanted to enjoy her eight grandchildren, resume her active church life, and take family vacations.
Carol travelled from her home in Frederick, Md., to The Johns Hopkins Hospital to meet with Lin at the Johns Hopkins Listening Center.
"I was scared to death," Carol said, "but he was extremely nice. For a big city hospital, they were extremely nice. They act like they really know you. They're really in tune to you."
Regaining Her Independence
Carol remembers a doctor's appointment she had prior to receiving the implant when she couldn't hear the physician. He put his stethoscope into her ears and talked into the chest piece. It was the only way they could communicate. Carol always had a family member at these appointments to make sure she didn't miss anything important. She wasn't able to completely take care of herself.
So, at age 72, Carol had cochlear implantation surgery in her right ear in May 2012. Her life changed the moment she left the hospital.Before the cochlear implantation, Carol couldn't even enjoy activities with her grandkids like going to see a movie. Shortly after the movie began, she would fall asleep. This quickly became a family joke about how grandma couldn't stay awake to watch a movie. She wanted to, but she couldn't hear.
In the car on the way home, she could hear the windows going up and down and the windshield wipers moving back and forth. These were simple, everyday noises, but for Carol, they were sounds she hadn't heard in years.
"It's given me a new lease on life, and I'd do it again," she said. "I enjoy my grandchildren. I'm joining the world again."
It's been a little more than a year since Carol's procedure, and she is excited about her new perspective. She's already planning a family trip to England, and has already been to the movies twice.
"And I didn't fall asleep," she added proudly.
"You know, it's just little things that you can hear now that makes you feel like you're human," Carol said. "It's little things. When it's raining at night, I can hear the rain on the roof."
Expectations Set
Although Carol is back to her happy, sociable self, it took time for her to fully adjust to her implant and feel comfortable hearing conversations. For the first two months, she went back to Johns Hopkins every other week to work with audiologist Steve Bowditch. He made adjustments to the implant and worked to make Carol comfortable with using the implant to hear. Now, she sees Steve once every six months.
"They told me what to expect (before surgery)," she said. "It will take a few months."
For the first few months, Carol had difficulty understanding the television. She was told to watch the news instead of sitcoms to help her implant process the voice of one person talking. Even now, more than a year after surgery, she uses a special phone that helps amplify the volume of the person on the other end of the line.
The Right Decision
Carol enjoying the gift of hearing with her family.
"In the beginning, the hearing aids really worked for me," Carol said. "But, in the end, there's really no comparison. "I'll never be able to hear normally, but it's a heck of a lot better than it was before."
Now Carol is back doing the things she loves the most – enjoying her grandchildren who range in age from 2 to 23.
"I can hear my grandchildren, you know, that's what makes the world go round," she said. "I missed so much. It's such a shame I didn't do this before."
Carol's happiness and regained independence made the surgery and rehabilitation visits well worth it.
"I think it's the best thing that ever happened to me," she said. "Even if I only had a couple of months to live, it would be worth it. We don't know how long we're going to be on earth, but it sure is nice being able to hear while we're here."

Product Description
Winner of the Red Dot Design Award 2010, Zini is half for him and half for her. His cradles and cups while hers slopes towards her. With 5 speeds and 10 pattern settings to flirt with, this luxury vibe ensures your erotic ecstasy is shared.
Zini is an innovation in sexual pleasure with an array of clever functions and indicators to make operation simple, allowing you to focus on the pleasure that is the Zini experience.
Deux is a multi-functional pair of vibrating massagers designed especially for male and female couples. The smooth egg shape comes apart in two halves, fitting together like a man and a woman. Made from PC ABS, the soft-touch coating is silky to touch and slips across the skin with delightful ease.
One half of Deux is for him; a soft cradle with a tapered tip that's ideal for cradling the scrotum, tickling the perineum and rolling over the head and down the shaft of the penis. He'll love the waves and pulses of vibration as they travel along his full length and awaken pleasure points that often go uncared for.
The other half is for her; it slopes to a firm yet smooth ridge that leans into her, stimulating both the inner and outer vagina and awakening every nerve ending with spectacular effect. Directing intense vibrations directly to the clitoris while massaging her inner and outer labia.
Both halves of Deux operate separately with their own set of controls, giving dual control over the intensity and build-up of your play. The speeds and functions are explained thoroughly in the accompanying manual, with diagrams and words to make learning to use Deux a cinch. There's even a travel lock to ensure that if Deux is charged on the go, it won't utter a word in transit!
Fully rechargeable, Deux will last you a lifetime with the correct care. Splash-proof for easy cleaning and a storage pouch to help you keep it safe from harm.
Zini Deux comes with a one year warranty to protect your purchase, making it the perfect gift for a friend or lover.

Reviewed: 16 September 2010 by Happy!
• The speedy and efficient delivery from Love Honey, it arrived the next day.
• The packaging the vibrator came in was good enough to use as a gift.
• The appearance of the vibrator is not cheap and tacky rather it looks like a quality and well-designed toy.
• The vibrator is really two vibrators a 'his' and a 'hers'.
• They are rechargeable and there is no fiddling with replacement batteries, up to four hours use from a two-hour charge.
• They are powerful yet compact, a real bonus when travelling.
• Having a vibrator in each hand multiplies the possibilities.
• Placing the male vibrator under my balls whilst using the female clit vibrator on my penis is fantastic.
• Using both vibrators one under my cock and the other over gives a wonderful sensation.
• Placing one vibrator against my anus and another on my cock is also really good.
• The controls progress through different patterns and intensities so I am able to have a prolonged session and a really explosive orgasm.
• The female vibrator fits snugly against my wife's vulva and also connects to her clitoris. The same time I am able to use the male vibrator to stimulate her tits. She is screaming with delight at this!
- Pros
- Compactness, appearance, power and variation of settings and uses.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- A wonderful good quality vibrator.

Reviewed: 18 August 2010 by Alicia D'amore, a Straight Engaged Female
My partner and I had been interested in the Zini brand since the Zini Roae/Love first appeared at Lovehoney a few months ago, wondering whether all that beautiful style would translate into knee-shaking function.
Delivery and Packaging
The Zini Deux arrived promptly and discreetly by special delivery less than a day after we got the dispatch email as I've come to expect with Lovehoney and we excitedly ripped open the box. Inside, nestled in brown paper shreds to protect it, was the box for the Zini Deux. A beautiful inky purple matt sleeve with Zini emblazoned in glowing white writing on the top. On the side of the sleeve are what look like lots of little shiny coffee beans but are in fact images of the Deux.
Pulling the box from within the sleeve there is an even more beautiful matt black and shimmery white box with a magnet keeping it closed. The packaging is pure elegance and makes the Zini an excellent gift. Many luxury items cut corners on the packaging using less than perfect card but the Zini's box is gorgeous and inside, the components are held in strong, thick, black card boxes which slot perfectly into the outer box.
All of the packaging is card and therefore easily recyclable (not that you'd ever want to get rid of it) apart from a little plastic cover in the box for the product itself so it sits there prettily in its black packaging.
Inside the box you get:
• The Zini Deux
• A charger
• A bag
• An information booklet
• A 1 year warranty
Lovehoney also chuck in a UK adapter for free when you purchase the Zini Deux.
The information booklet is clear and concise with sections on how to use the Deux, charging, cleaning, storage, some health and care warnings and troubleshooting. Pretty informative for a tiny booklet! It doesn't say not to use silicone based lubes with the Deux but Zini's website does say it's platinum silicone coated so I wouldn't risk it personally.
The bag is well made, with no little stringy loose stitching and a piece of ribbon around the neck. It's small and discreet. It's the little touches that are important in luxury items and often those little touches are overlooked but not with Zini.
The Zini Deux: Design and Build
Right, so on to the good stuff - the product itself. The Zini Deux is absolutely beautiful, with sleek, smooth curves and vivid colours. The purple Deux (described on the Zini website as violet and hot pink) is much nicer than you can see on the images with a rich purple outside and bright fushia inside. The two components sit together perfectly showing a flash of pink (ooh err) in a curved line down each side.
The two halves are held together securely by magnets. The ergonomic design makes the Zini Deux sit comfortably in the palm of the hand and easy to use. The Zini is very light adding to its easy use. Oh and it doesn't smell – just a tiny hint of "new-ness" but nothing unpleasant.
When separated, you can see the delicious curves designed for use over the body and genitals – one for him and one for her. The male motor seems to be situated in the apex of the curve whilst the female motor is in the nub.
The Zini Deux is well made, with a beautiful soft touch finish that is just so strokable. The plastic the Zini is made from is quite hard and unforgiving but I think when combined with the smooth curves it makes it more pleasurable as it can be pressed firmly as desired. Although the hardness does make the Deux quite noisy and certainly not as quiet as it claims to be (49Db which is apparently quieter than an electric toothbrush) especially if the two are joined when you switch one on.
The buttons are easy to use with a + button, a – button and a o button. When unlocked the + and - buttons cycle through the 5 speeds or the 9 pulse patterns depending on which mode the toy is in and the o button switches between modes. Pressing and holding to o button switches the Zini into "random" mode as it switches randomly through patterns. The power of each pattern depends on what speed setting the Zini was on when you switched to "pattern mode". To "turbo up" you press and hold the + button and to switch off you press and hold the – button. To lock the toy you press and hold + and – together and the same to unlock. Sounds complicated? It's really easy once you get the hang of it and the buttons, patterns and use are the same between models – the Zini Love/Roae has the same system!
The Zini Deux also has a mode to cycle through its light colours. The buttons light up depending on what you've asked the Zini to do the four colours being red, green, white and orange and really do make this toy easy to use in the dark or if your visually impaired. The cycle function shows that all four colours are working.
The design of the Deux is beautiful; it won the prestigious Red Dot award for design which is a competition for so many different products, not just sex toys! The only problem is, anything that's designed to "fit together" will be held back by this. In the Deux' case, this is displayed by the disparity between the two components. The male part seems to have been designed first! Both my partner and I feel that the male part is better ergonomically designed and the female part lost some function in order to allow it to sit inside the male part.
Having said this, I feel whilst the male part is better designed as a "sex toy" the female part does win in terms of massage. It's much easier to direct around and over the body and that lovely soft coat finish makes it very smooth with no skin catching but more on function later.
Whilst talking about design, it's important to mention Deux's major flaw, and it is quite major. The two halves cannot be charged together. It wouldn't take much Zini, a splitter or contacts between the two, or even just give me a second charger! But really, a toy designed for use together that can't be charged together is a huge oversight! The charger connection points are protected by a little pop out cover which is quite awkward to open but does mean the Deux is "splashproof" which isn't the same as waterproof. Do no submerse your Zini! It's easy to clean with its sleek curves and there aren't really any nooks for lube to get stuck in.
The manual claims that the battery for the Zini Deux is Li-Po, I don't know what this means, but apparently it's better and means your Zini will live longer! Although it does conflict with the website information which says the Zini has a Li-Ion battery – I'll trust the manual though as the Deux may have been further developed since the webpage was written.
The battery takes 2 hours to charge for 4 hours use but you can't use it whilst it's charging which is annoying if you realise it needs charging midway through a session!
The Zini Deux: Function
To talk about function, it's best to split the Deux into its two aspects….
The male part seems to be more powerful than the female part, probably due to the location of the motor and is well designed to cup one ball at a time and run the point up the shaft of the penis. It's also good for massage on curved areas such as the hips and collar bones but not so good for flatter areas such as the chest and back. The male part, as I mentioned earlier, seems better designed for genital use than the female part but not as good for massage due to its deep curve.
I'll leave the rest of the male information to my better half's review of the Zini Deux
The female part is less powerful and the nub isn't quite pointed enough for perfect clitoral stimulation but nevertheless it is very pleasurable. The buzz is a high quality buzz with a deep and powerful vibration. It can be used for clitoral stimulation, vaginal entrance stimulation and perineal stimulation but it'd be nice if it cupped the vulva more during play. The pulse modes are excellent and with 10 to choose from (including random pulse mode – which is excellent, normally I hate random modes due to the unpredictability but this one really is fantastic) you certainly will have hours of fun with your Zini Deux. The Deux is a slower orgasm, it takes a little more work to orgasm with the Deux than with some of my more pointed toys, but that extra work pays off with a more intense orgasm. It's more of a sensual, take your time and enjoy it toy. Rather than a toy to grab when you need to come quickly. Really this just makes it ideal for shared teasing and massage… ahh massage. The female part of the Deux is better for massage than the male part and its deep rumble certainly melted away my aches! It's sleek, smooth coating makes it easy to run over the body and the nub makes it excellent for working into those sore spots!
The different pulse patterns are really excellent, especially the random one! All with funky names like "sawtooth" and "vector" they are powerful and well timed. Which makes a change from the many toys which have patterns great in concept but not in reality!
The two toys are an excellent product for couples new to sex toys! And having such a well designed, male toy is quite refreshing! Using them on each other can be an excellent way to explore each other's sweetest spots and individually they can be used for masturbation as well as massage. The design, size, weight and sleek coating make the two easy to direct and control over the body and the 5 power settings and 10 pulse settings means there really is something for everyone – the random pulse mode really hit both of our buttons. If you have tried lots of solo toys and want something to share then this is for you or if you're new to toys and want a gentle introduction – another win!
The Zini Deux is a well made, well designed and well thought out couples' toy. It does the job it's designed to do but it does have a few niggly drawbacks and one major fault. It's a non threatening introduction to sex toys or an addition to any hetero couples' toy box. It can be used as two individual, solo toys, or as two toys to share so it is pretty multi functional. Does this make it worth the price? I'll let you decide if you're willing to spend so much on 2 toys with one charger.
- Pros
- The packaging, appearance, lights, pulse patterns.
- Cons
- Only one charger, noisy, not quite pointed enough.
- Bottom line
- A well made, well designed and well thought out couples' toy.

When Lelo met TENGA (no not a new Disney film)
Reviewed: 17 August 2010 by WandA, a Straight Engaged Male
From the dispatch email me and my partner had to wait a whole 20 hours for this wonderful little bundle of buzzing joy to arrive... in the meantime I was left to virtually stroll the information highways for information on this novel little device. I found Lovehoney's description spot on so will attempt to simply not regurgitate it. I also discovered more information from the official Zini site, some of which I will reproduce throughout this review (if Zini promise not to sue).
Greeted by the package before us we attacked it as any reasonable person would do when confronted with a hugely exciting sex toy in a well packaged box. After much ripping and kerfuffling we reached the outer sleeve (oooooo). A rather simple piece of suave blue packaging that protects the actual box and has lots of little coffee beans on it, OK, not coffee beans but rather Zini Deux silhouettes. A nice touch to keep the white shimmered and black matte box in good condition. To be honest it is the least you expect from such a luxury item and it allows the Zini to make a great gift to a partner. The box has a small magnet in it to keep it sealed, everything inside fits well and the box is made from a stiff card too.
After opening the box we were greeted with the contents, the two Zini massagers, a carry bag, one charger and the manual.
The fold up manual was straightforward and easy to follow; it contains specifications of the product, instructions and a warranty card. It also contains some general medical, safety and care advice, one point of which I was unsure about. The manual makes it very clear not to use oil or alcohol on the Zini to avoid damage, which is all very well and good however it makes no mention of avoiding silicone based lubes which appears to be rather crucial to not spoiling the product if it is platinum silicone as the website states. Although I'm aware enough to check these things I feel it might lead to some unhappy faces if indeed it is silicone coated and there is no warning on avoiding silicone lubes, perhaps I am wrong and platinum silicone doesn't suffer from this drawback or it isn't silicone coated, either way I would avoid using a silicone lube.
As for the included bag, well it does everything it's supposed to. I think it has a nice cross-hatch like square design on it and is very discreet. It is also an ideal fit.
After the bag and manual were out the way it was time to look at the toy (I couldn't look at that first due to ninja fingers [as from now her new nickname in the bedroom] getting there first!)...
It's gorgeous! It's purple and fuchsia and rounded and looks great and glows and... Enough of that now, but it is certainly is one sexy piece of kit! It has a light mode to gently cycle though the four different colours which I thought looked great going through red, orange, green and white. This light mode is apparently intended to let you know all the lights work, I just liked that it was pretty but I liked that it had a small practical function built in. The two massagers fit together sleekly so the aesthetics for me were a huge win and also apparently the 'red dot' award judges when it took part in the competition that regularly sees over 12,000 entries (given this, this is probably the closest you will come to a supermodel, even if the plastic contents are nearly identical). My only slight was a hardly visible manufacturing line on the Zini pieces, I only mention because I think it should do without for such a price. The Zini is kept together by magnets in the units which helps keep the cool egg shape.
While on the topic of quality, it is 98% fantastic. Apart from the manufacturing line I found no other 'niggles' with the product after extensive searching. I suppose I could mention the 'solid man breast' reference in the manual that gave me a chuckle (ha!) but nothing more with the actual product or charger. The toy is really well built, the ABS appears very tough and it has that lovely silky smooth voluptuous silicone skin which I could happily stroke for ages (if I didn't happen to use it when I had my hands close by a lovely silky smooth voluptuous pussy instead). There were also no smells that I could smell from the product upon intense sniffing! Apparently Zini is the market leader in its home nation of South Korea, it is easy to understand why with the Zini Deux and it reminds me of the excellence of that other Asian sex toy amazer in Tenga. Does this justify the hefty price tag? Hmmm, I'll come back to that later.
Now for the science part
Before describing the toy during use (don't worry, it won't be badly written erotica... just badly written) I'd like to mention a few other things, mainly some tech specs to get you geeks hot under the collar!
Each unit weighs only 250g so is a breeze to hold and less than 5 inches in length (forgive me for the car crash that is metric AND Imperial units) and ergonomically designed to sit very comfortably in the palm. The size was great for using one handed and is easy to hold given the shape and silicone coating. It can also buzz all the way up to 160hz! Which sounds good however I have no idea what a 'standard' vibe buzzes at and found research a bit difficult to come by, funny that? It does give a good strong pulse though however both me and my partner felt the male part was stronger than the female part. It claims to be quieter than 49Db which is apparently quieter than an electric toothbrush or fridge. Balls. It is certainly one of the louder vibes we own so I would not suggest for those with thin walls.
My next point concerns a discrepancy I found, the official Zini site lists the Deux as having Li-ion batteries and the manual as Li-Po. From what I can gather Li-Po are better suited to a long term device like the Zini as they have more recharge cycles. I do think it is probably best to go with what the Manuel says and accept it is Li-Po as it may have been more recently updated. The battery is stated as 420mAh which is comparable to some Sony Cybershot cameras and the 4th gen iPod nano and I am unsure about replacing it (not that it should need it really). I shall mention more on the battery at the end on the Zini's one big failing...
This is where I FINALLY discuss all the funky functions and the yummy uses!
The Zini Deux has 10 different functions all controlled via 3 simple buttons. A +,o and - button. Constant, EMS surge, Triangle, EMS burst, balance, Sawtooth, Vector, Quadrila, Rectangle, Random. All of these functions can be adjusted to 5 speeds and it has a travel lock. Ooooo did I love the random pulse on the 3rd speed!
The buttons are great for the visually impaired due to the glow and easy to operate. The Deux is also splashproof which does NOT mean waterproof as stated on their website and it is super easy to clean without too many nooks to catch nasties.
Given the nature of the shape and how bits need to match up it can require some practice to find the right spots and it may be that one unit is better suited than the other at its function. The female part is pretty simple, the nub sits on the clit and the concave shape hugs the labia and stimulates them. The nub point is rather useful if you feel like flipping it round and stimulating the vaginal entrance or anus. This however is not my speciality, for I have a penis.
I can assist you by telling you just how bloody great this felt all over me! The shape is quite an odd shape but really versatile. It sits easily on the perineum (like a bike seat!) with the point pressing hard on the inner shaft sending vibes all the way up the cock. The male part can also be used on the anus or vagina to provide a great cupping of female or male parts. What turned out to be my personal favourite was lying on my back and pressing the cupping bit over one testicle while pressing the point over my shaft, it has to be done rather lopsidedly and both balls cannot be stimulated to the same extent but by jolly it was excellent! Having one of my testicles encased in the random pulsations of the Deux while my shaft vibrated up to her lips is very much top of my list to do with the Zini.
I also found it felt great masturbating; the Zini can cradle the tip of my cock from 3 sides and vibrate down my shaft to my balls. Getting more erect from the stimulation only serves to make it better. I know there are not many male toys actively aim to use exclusively vibrations to get you off but I found it refreshing and effective to have a male toy designed to stimulate me with vibrations even if I do generally prefer the stroking motion. It is novel but never the less very enjoyable.
As a couples toy I think it's a great idea, apparently based on yin/yang and harmony and all that jazz. Ignoring the jazz I think it might have a slight problem in getting parts to fit together that are idea for both gender parts, I fear the lady part might not be as effective as the male part, in part due to the difficulty in trying to find balance and compromise. It does also have the added bonus as being a great tool to demystify potentially scary vibes for partners, both male and female. The sex toy doesn't become a replacement, it becomes what it usually is and that is an aid in the bedroom that both partners can enjoy. Unless of course you're not a hetero couple then your f**ked and I really wouldn't recommend. It does also make a great massager when not used on the genitals (even if it was my favourite place).
Another point to consider before my final section about the ABS plastic it is made from. It is a very hard plastic and this is what I believe makes the toy so noisy. Putting the together switched on is quite deafening. Don't do it (you will now I've said that won't you?).
On to my final point. Why did you have to do it Zini? Why did you spoil what we had, it was going so well...
Why Zini do you insist on providing one charger to a product with two units likely used together with two charging sockets? I know you had the cheesy slogan '1+1=1' but we both know that's not literally true is it? It really wouldn't have been too difficult to create some form of splitter/dock/stand or contacts like an electric razor between them for simultaneous charging. You then make it worse by ensuring you cannot use the Zini while it charges! You have upset me Zini... At least a 2 hr charge gets you 4 hrs of use apparently and the unit connects well to the charger...
Shout out to Lovehoney for providing a free adaptor for use in Blighty too!
Wow... Still with me? You have done well, Congratulations. Buy yourself a Zini!
- Pros
- Quality. Design. Presentation. Power. Functions. Concept. Long battery life. Bag. Glowing lights. Smoothness. RaNDomNeSs function!
- Cons
- Poorly thought out charging. Noise.
- Bottom line
- Great. Think somewhere between Lelo and Tenga. *Thumbs up*

How cute are these little suitcases by Mimilou? In our home, little suitcases to store treasures are a very valuable commodity. Every night when I do the last round of picking up all the miscellaneous items left around the flat after a good days playing, I find little suitcases filled with little bits and pieces.
Now, I don't know if it is only my kids, but the love these girls have for putting random stuff in a bag is immense. You can find little pictures they have drawn, mixed in with a broken doll leg, a little fluffy toy and some little books. It makes no sense to a grown-up, but to my kids these are real treasures. So I have decided to go with the flow (within limits of course). I've just decided we need pretty little suitcases for them to fill up. At least that helps me ignore the chaos inside.

Special election called to fill Inslee's empty seat
Fiscally irresponsible
Editor, The Times:
It's hard to believe that Jay Inslee would make a fiscally responsible governor when his decision to focus on his campaign efforts will cost the state an extra $770,000. Good luck "earning" my vote. ["Special election called to fill Inslee's empty seat," NWTuesday, April 3.]
— Kathleen Aycock, Edmonds
I propose Jay Inslee pay the entire expense of $770,000 required to fill a vacancy that he created by not fulfilling his obligation to the taxpayers of Washington state.

The reason for selling is the slab style body (Perfect for vintage bass enthusiasts) and would like to move onto a 5 string (most likely). I am selling at [del]$650[/del] [del]$575[/del]$525+shipping OBO . It comes with a SBMM soft bass case, a set of Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinkies, and a KORG metrenome/digital tuning fork. The bass itself has an ash slab style body, a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. It is an active bass (Hence the CA, which stands for Classic Active.) with a SBMM Alcino pickup and SBMM 2band active EQ. It is 10LBs to the dot so it is a bit heavier than other basses, but that's because it is designed to emulate a more classic vibe. Trade wise I am interested in an Ibanez BTB675 ( Might be able to pay along with the trade) A MIM Fender Precision Deluxe (Or a Schecter Model T, ESP Vintage 214+$) A Ray35 and really any 5 string that's around the same value shoot me a PM if interested Pics: http://imgur.com/a/oFxtZ

It has been clear for weeks that the micro-messaging service Twitter was close to raising a new round of capital as interest around the site (and arguably the site itself) explodes. Tonight GigaOM's Om Malik reports that the site has not finalized a $15-20 million round as was previously rumored, but instead is in the middle of a bidding war between at least a couple VC funds.
According to Malik, these rounds will put Twitter's valuation north of $70 million, but presumably still beneath the $150 million ceiling we discussed last month. But who knows, anything is possible when you have a bidding war.
Perhaps now we know why Twitter hasn't used some of its millions to secure some talent to fix its issues — it hasn't secured the money yet. When it does, will all of the downtime issues be resolved? Let's hope so.
Twitter raised $5 million last year from Union Square Ventures and Charles River Ventures.
We have some feelers out on this development and will update when we hear back.

|Rooster twenty francs: the first franc gold coin is stamped for the release of the English King John from captivity and he was first coined in 1360, Frank's interpretation of the word is "free", such gold coins FF forgotten since 1642 with the rise of Louis XIV issued gold coins with his name "Loaidor," Resurrection of the Franks began in 1795 when the French Revolution introduced decimal system of coins, and it was a decimal currency system first of its kind in the world, gold coin minted by Frank rooster's device the Latin Monetary Union and was the successor of 20 francs a Angel and Napoleon, the design of the coin comes from Mariana and cock-Ghali are two symbols of France united in a single currency, since the declaration of the First Republic Marianne is the symbol of France, Marianne represents logic Uma innate freedom and good morals and good citizenship of the Republic, a gold coin that she appears a lot with a hat of freedom or carrying a bouquet of oak leaves symbolizes perseverance and strength, unlike Mariana symbolizes state and republican rooster symbolizes a nation its culture soil and vigilance and fighting spirit, this coin was prepared by cheap Clemente lowland appointed by France to create new characters gold coins French Court 'LIBERTE' EGALITE 'FRATERNITE' meaning - brotherhood, equality and freedom has become the motto of the French Revolution, the features Hbolion are the coin was part of what commerce of the Union and that was the main factor that contributed to large distribution of currency French franc, two factors were the large amounts which was issued For a decade and a half and being of French power, a rooster of 20 francs together with Angel and Napoleon 20 Franc gold coins are among the most common French Hbolion.
Napoleon twenty francs: Gold Coin French twenty-franc is called simple language Napoleon, their IPO was started in 1803 by Napoleon Bonfta occupying French until 1914 were issued gold coins are weight purity and face value determined by one or another Napoleon, coins were issued for all period, with portraits of emperors, kings symbols of the Republic but everyone called Napoleons, Napoleon franc gold coin was used as the standard for gold coins of the Latin Monetary Union, 20 pasta of Spain, 20 Belgian francs, 20 francs a pound of Switzerland 20 Italy 20 Greece's drachma and many others issued to the same standard of Napoleon, 20 franc Napoleon III period between 1803 to 1914 and France were issued for 21 types of gold coins of 20 francs and the time of Napoleon III issued three of them, the quantities issued in relation to the types of French francs others issued in the past were much larger That's why coins of this period have become so common, should note that there are three types of gold coins, twenty francs and - French Francs Napoleon FF Angel and French franc rooster and when talking about coins Napoleon That's just about the currencies of Napoleon III and between them is three one of 1852 , 1853-1860, 1861-1870 and Napoleon's portrait appears on the obverse of all three, following the revolution, Louis Napoleon came to power and was elected president of France he was dictatorial powers and proclaimed himself as Emperor of France, authorities in France by Napoleon held until 1870 when deposed Because of his defeat in the war against Prussia, Napoleon Bonofrta Louis died in 1873 in exile in England.

Media Release: Tourist injured at Tsitsikamma National Park
18 January 2007
A woman tourist, Sandra Malan was injured when she fell off the suspension bridge at Tsitsikamma National Park near Plettenberg Bay on Wednesday afternoon.
Reports say that she was sitting on the concrete base support structure of the suspension bridge on the eastern side of the river. She stood up to watch her husband take pictures of their children, lost her footing and fell approximately 6-7 metres down the rock face.
Her husband called the park reception and requested help. A field ranger who was on patrol in the vicinity responded immediately, reaching the accident scene within minutes.
Park officials called in paramedics and a doctor from Plettenberg Bay to assess the extent of the injuries. The woman suffered a broken leg, sprained ankle, cuts and bruises on her jaw and legs. She was later airlifted by military helicopter and taken to Livingstone Hospital in Port Elizabeth where she is receiving further treatment.

I Don't Feel Sorry For You: Selena Gomez That James Franco Scared You in Spring Breakers
Word on the street, via her own mouth, is that Selena Gomez was afraid of James Franco, and it wasn't because of his Oscar hosting performance. (Zing!) Apparently the chameleon that is James was so method during his filming of Spring Breakers that he stayed in character the whole time, which freaked Selena out. But also allowed her to be method because her character was supposed to be freaked out. And what resulted was just a whole mess of method acting in bikinis and gold grills.
Here's what Selena said (imagine her shivering in a bikini when she says this):
"He stayed in character the whole time and luckily for me, my character was creeped out by him, because I genuinely was at first. We shot the movie for four weeks, then he came in and walked on set as his character and freaked me out. That's who I knew, until we started doing press and I realized he's one of the most intelligent people I've ever met. He's really nice, I promise. He's great."
I haven't seen Spring Breakers. But I've seen the trailer, and I know the movie is about wearing bikinis in unlikely scenarios, gun control and saying, "Spring Break, bitches!" as much as possible. I've seen James's character kissing with a lot of tongue and pronouncing "suspicious" like "spicious" which isn't a word. So I get why meeting this dude in real life would be a little scary.
But Selena, honey? It's a movie. They don't hire people to play these parts who actually are these parts. People don't play themselves.
Unless you're Meryl Streep or Diane Keaton and all you want in your movie is the essence of Meryl or Diane. But that's different. And I guess you could argue that people like Jennifer Aniston and Michael Cera always play themselves to a degree. Or like how Zooey Deschanel is always her quirky self and Mark Wahlberg can't not play a dude from Boston.
Okay. So James Franco and Daniel Day Lewis might be the only two actors in history to be able to fully transform themselves into something new. And the only experience you have with that is on the Disney Channel when people would quite literally be transformed into something else. Like Mickey Mouse. (Is Mickey Mouse on the Disney Channel? He has to be, right?)
So maybe I get a little bit why this would be scary. But I'll tell you what I think is scary. How terribly your movie represents REAL spring breakers. That's the scary thing for me.
I mean, where are all the late-night pizzas? Where are the girls trudging home carrying their shoes complaining about how Lindsey got all the attention that night? Where are the sunburns on pale skin? Where are the dance floor scenes when guys approach girls and the girls are all, "I'm sorry, but I just want to have fun with my friends?" Where are the responsible kids studying on the beach because they aren't going to let a week off school cloud the fact that finals aren't actually that far away when you think about it?
That's what scary to me, Serena. The fact that we've misrepresented Spring Break for millions of impressionable young ones. Life isn't a bunch of cute pink ski-masks people! It's hard and it's real and there ARE muffin tops in the real world and not everyone gets to dance at the center of the MTV Spring Break pool. So strap on your seatbelt and take a ride in the Reality Seville. It's a bumpy one.
Here's the trailer. Don't get too scared.

Time for a Catalyst
"If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples, then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas."
– George Bernard Shaw (British playwright, 1856-1950)
ISU Extension and Outreach is a catalyst — and this really is at the heart of what we should be doing. Because of our networks and unique connections, we often are aware of different opportunities. We also can connect people in ways that perhaps they never thought of being connected. Through this sharing, we may create unique relationships or new funding opportunities that possibly didn't exist before. This ability to catalyze, to gain energy from people coming together in some unique ways, results in great benefits for the state of Iowa. With our networks and connections, we bring the right people together to move Iowa forward. We're not just sharing apples; we're sharing ideas. See you there.

Taft, Fairfax, and Westchester are the top three seeds as usual, but Palisades and Crenshaw will look to break up the party.
By Jason Lewis
Sentinel Sports Editor
For over a decade the City Championship has been decided between Taft, Fairfax, and Westchester. The three teams have dominated City high school basketball, and they always meet up in the semifinals and championship games.
This season is shaping up to be the same way heading into the playoffs, but Palisades and Crenshaw will look to be giant killers over the next couple of weeks.
Taft (24-3), who defeated Fairfax (19-9) earlier this season, was an easy pick for the top seed. Seeds two through four were difficult, because Fairfax, Westchester (20-6) and Palisades (16-10) finished in a three-way tie in the Western Division.
Westchester swept their series against Palisades, who defeated Fairfax twice. Westchester could have won the league title outright if they had defeated Fairfax last week. But just like earlier this season, Westchester got out to a sluggish start and found themselves down by double digits against their rival. Fairfax held off a late run by Westchester to win the game 56-53.
Fairfax was awarded with the No. 2 seed, Westchester the No. 3 seed, and Palisades the No. 4 seed.
Even with the two losses to Fairfax, Westchester coach Ed Azzam feels that his team is better, and they will most likely get their chance to prove it in the semifinal round.
Crenshaw (22-4), will not want to be left out of the party. They swept through the Coliseum League and they will more than likely face off against Palisades in the second round of the playoffs. The winner of that game will have an opportunity to knock off top seeded Taft.
Palisades and Crenshaw will look to be the Cinderellas, but until the public sees something different, this tournament is really about the Big 3. Fairfax is finally back after a couple tough years, and Taft will look to defend their title. Don't think that Westchester has forgotten that they were on the court when Taft won that championship.
The first round of the playoffs will be held on Friday night, with the high seed hosting the game. The second round will be held next Wednesday.

Brother: Gene Woods
Top Photo by: Dorcey Wingo
One of speedways most beloved riders Rick Woods dies unexpectedly.Rick had been having health/cancer issues for years but medical treatment went well and the common perception was that his cancer treatment had been successful.In 2007 his younger brother Gene Woods organized a benefit auction to help defray medical costs.It was well supported by the Speedway community.
"We're still all in shock.We had no clue this would happen" Gene told me.Rick was home when he slouched over.Wife Robin tried to revive him but to no avail.A autopsy is planed to determine the exact cause of death.Plans for a memorial service or gathering have yet to be decided on.
A ruff and tumble rider from the early days of Speedway the battles between Rick Woods, Danny Becker and the Bast Brothers, Steve and Mike, are legendary and have long ago become Speedway lore.
Our condolences to family members and those who knew him.The Speedway community mourns the passing of Rick Woods.
God Bless.
Howie - RAZ Video - firstname.lastname@example.com
Gene tells me that brother Rick Woods was last on a motorcycle when he rode on the back with him at Industry a couple of years ago. Funny how that works as Gene's first ever motorcycle ride was on the back of a Yamaha 80 with a Git Kit at Huntington Beach. We feel for you brother. Hand in there brother.
I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Rick Woods. Our thoughts & prayers are with Gene & his family. Never like to hear about the passing of a member of the Speedway family. Even though Rick was a great rival of mine & my brothers in the '70's, over the last 20 years Rick & I had spoken on the phone & had some great conversations about the past. I remember as a kid starting out in speedway, if you beat Rick Woods you felt like you had just beat the world champ. He was a true legend of Speedway!! Mike Bast
Message from Bruce Penhall regarding the loss of Rick Woods - "Rick was my inspiration, my mentor and I would have never ridden a Speedway bike if it wasn't for him. My life has been blessed up until the last 5 months, lately life sucks. Our heart aches. RIP RW #2....#1. You were my Hero!!!! ...BP"

GREEN BAY - He didn't win, but Meb Keflezighi was surely part of the most selfies.
"A lot of selfies and it's been a lot of fun," said Keflezighi.
The 39-year-old Keflezighi grabbed the nation's attention after winning the 2014 Boston Marathon, becoming the first American to win the race since Greg Meyer in 1983. Saturday morning, Keflezighi ran in his first Bellin Run, the 10k race in Green Bay.
"Great community event, great neighborhoods," said Keflezighi. "Everybody cheering, had the chairs out. I couldn't help it but to run fast as much as I can."
Keflezighi finished third overall with a time of 29:58. Allan Kiprono won the race with a time of 28:41, followed by last year's winner Lani Rutto at 29:44. Keflezighi ran with the top pair for the first two miles before they pulled away. Keflezighi said he was running a moderate pace – moderate, while still averaging sub-5 minute miles – as part of his training regimen and since he is still recovering from the marathon.
Keflezighi did do some extra running: after crossing the finish line himself, he ran back on the course several times, turning around to finish again with other runners. He then stood just across the finish line, high fiving those who just completed their race and posing for numerous pictures, many of the 'selfie' variety.
"Kind of put that energy, a little smile on their face," said Keflezighi. "Like, 'it's Meb!' Then all of the sudden they're not tired anymore, it's just like, thumbs up."
The presence of the notable Boston Marathon winner and icon within the running community resonated with other runners.
"I was really excited," said former Green Bay East High School runner Armando Torres, who finished 8th overall. "I got goose bumps the whole time. I was like, 'oh boy, oh boy.'"
Other runners were surprised to see such a big-name runner in the field.
"That's really cool, especially that he's here in Green Bay," said Hilbert's Leslie Franczek. "It's just really cool being in the same place they are."
Keflezighi's appearance was sponsored by Bellin, but he said after the race he hopes to return to the race – and perhaps for another one of Green Bay's prime attractions.
"This was a wonderful, wonderful experience," said Keflezighi "I would love to come back. I had a great tour of the Packers stadium yesterday, I would love to come back for a game."

We did make it home but ...and we just had $700 worth of work on it. DH thinks maybe someone messed something up. Now to look for a new vehicle. I hate this and my husband has been having problems with his blood pressure and has a stress test on Thursday.

They are definitely aimed at the younger audience, thou F34R seems to disagree, well atleast for Nintendo games
Thou I wouldn't call them casual, not in the same sense the blatantly obvious ones are
But then again I think most sports games are casual games, but I think it depends on how you play them too, for instance COD is a casual game but it can be played hardcore by core players, ya get me?
Sent via Codec
I've filled my heart with hate of that word. Casual...
Makes me want to punch a baby in the throat. :mad:
However, its good for Sony and the gaming industry to be diverse I suppose.
I am sure Sony would want the casual corner in some of their basket.
The one thing I've learned in this thread is that there isn't a firm definition of "kiddie", "casual" or even "core".
Personally, I would call anything on a handheld device "kiddie", "casual" or even a "diversion".
I would think that before topics like this can be debated, we need to agree on definitions, no?
my 11 year old kiddies have played just about every game we have here; PS3, 360, wii, Vita, 3ds... I'm guessing Uncharted 1,2, and 3 aren't kiddie though? Halo (all freakin releases lol), kiddie games?
I agree with your handheld comment up until the point when my Vita falls into my hands. Whether you're into handheld gaming or not, Vita delivers near console worthy games that are definitely not considered kiddie or casual IP (Uncharted, Wipeout, Assassin Creed etc). Diversion is a tricky one, however there are some people I know (in life and on forums) who have said that they are playing more Vita than anything else.
But just because more people are playing the Vita more than anything else or plays near console worthy games doesn't change what it is or isn't. I see it as a diversion when you are on a plane, bus or just killing time and I would never consider any handheld more than that no matter what types of games or graphics it has.
Again, this is my opinion.
I'm sure some will claim to genuinely want to play a handheld game but there are always exceptions to everything.
We need a thread where we hammer this out. The Vita for example is a portable however I don't feel there are many kiddie or casual games on it. To me I view it as a portable PS3
Causal game is something that u can play in spurts put it down do something else come back to it. Also causal is a game with no age limit
Kiddie games are made for a certain age group.
Core... I guess would be games people don't fit into the previous two categories

Nothing wrong with Sony getting a piece of the pie that Nintendo and Microsoft have been hogging. Three can play this game.
At the end of the day core gaming has, will, and will always be Sony's focus.
So basically anything portable is kiddie as ur definition?
I can see how a nintendo portable can be seen as kiddie or causal however I would not see the vita in the same light??
So what would be ur definition of causal??

In all my travels and business trips (mainly flying) it's only kids playing with portable consoles. This is based on my personal observations and is my opinion but yes, I feel portable gaming is for kids.
But do we base the categories on their intentional market group or the guy that has been proven to purchase these types of games or consoles?

Little big planet karting=kiddie Karts instead of carts. That would be a child's mindset. We know as you get older we want cars.
Playstation all stars battle royale= Not kiddie? Why? It's a fighting game for one and i'm Not saying fighting games are not or can't be aimed at kids. Second it's got characters from way back in the day and you would have to be older to even know these characters to be intrigued. Once again, i'm not saying kids won't play this game because they'll see fat princess, new dante, cole and others for instance. I'm just explaining my reasoning on what games are kiddie/casual. Also, in the end though, you shouldn't care about age groups/the often someone else plays a game. I'm glad there are different gamers because that means differents thinking and i don't care if a game is aimed at a certain group. I'll play it if it's good and that's the bottom line because i said so (Stone cold refernce) :snicker
