Thinglink – interactive pics for your homepage0
I have just discovered Thinglink. A service started in 2010, which allows you to tag pictures on your homepage or blog as you would on Facebook or Youtube.
I think that the concept is pretty cool. Especially if you're using a blog as a marketing tool for an e-commerce site, you can purvey your product pics with tags that will lead directly to the shop. Consequently you can now start an Ikea-like Facebook campaign on your own site, given that you can add as many tags as you want on a pic (though, you might want to leave enough space so as to still discern the image amongst all the tags). So if you have a photo of several products, place a tag on each one of them with a link (incl. a description) to the product page in your shop. The tags, of course, can also be used to lead you to more background information. Or you can use them to maximize the message of the image.
Additionally, you can also let your pictures speak! How it works? Thinglink allows you to tag a Soundcloud-URL – either of an audio file you previously uploaded or any in their library – and, thus, provide your image with sound. Once the tag is clicked a player automatically pops up.
Here an example of what it looks like (one small minus point, even though it keeps the integrity of the image: you have to actually move your mouse over the pic in order to see the tags – something most users will not be used to doing on a regular site): (more…)
7 useful tips to improve the ROI of your e-mail campaigns0
Of the, due to budget restraints, limited marketing tools I have had at my disposal over the last few years as a small entrepreneur, e-mail campaigns without a doubt possessed the largest ROI. This personal experience is vindicated by a Direct Marketing Association study, which calculated a $43,62 ROI for every $1 of marketing spend! Number 2 on the ROI-Hot 100 is SEM, which yields a $21,85 ROI – 50% lower! At the same time, it has to be said that the trend indicates that e-mail ROI will decrease over the next couple of years. The time of the massively, indiscriminately sent out e-mails seems to be coming to an end.
What follows are a few tips what you can to do counteract the trend (and which a lot of companies already are doing): (more…)
9+ tips to improve your e-commerce conversion rate0
Econsultancy has conducted a small study of the factors that influence a customer's purchase decision on e-commerce sites. The obtained results correspond to other studies as well as my personal experience and can lead to significant improvements of your conversion rate.
1) Delivery Costs
Which kind of delivery is preferred and how much it should cost was different for each person. There was, however, unanimity that the delivery costs should be displayed and transparent from the start of the purchase process. There is nothing more unpleasant for a consumer – and I'm speaking from personal experience – than discovering delivery costs at the end of the checkout. Indeed it makes little sense to put in place a last obstacle (i.e. additional costs) just before successfully closing a transaction. Common sense alone dictates not to do so. The only reason I can think of that would warrant withholding these extra costs is the intention to increase one's margin a bit, but if higher delivery costs are necessary for that, one should, perhaps, reflect on one's business model.

Jobsearch 2.0 or how a targeted Adwords campaign led to success0
Last summer Alec Brownstein was a Copywriter with Publicis in New York, who was looking for a new job. During his search of job openings he googled the names of the creative director's he admires most. He was surprised to find no sponsored links on the results page.
Working with the assumption that everyone at one point or another googles oneself, he purchased an Adwords Sponsored Links campaign centered on the names of said creative directors with the following message: "Hey, [creative director's name]: Goooogling yourself is a lot of fun. Hiring me is fun, too. www.alecbrownstein.com."
Within 6 months all but one had called him for an interview and to ended up offering him a job. Since the end of last year, Alec is now a Senior Copywriter at Young & Rubicam.
And the campaign cost him a whopping $6!
Two examples of successful, interactive Facebook campaigns0
The first example is a Facebook campaign Ikea did in 2009 to accompany the inauguration of their new store in Malmö. The main goals were to generate interaction with their target clientele as well as a viral effect.
The campaign consisted of the Store Manager creating a profile and uploading 12 showroom pictures. The first Facebook user to tag an object on one of these pics would subsequently win it. The trick was that in order to be able to tag a user first had to "like" the page, which, as did the act of tagging itself, invariably appeared in the user's newsfeed/wall, thus informing all of his/her friends of the campaign. The media echo not only on Facebook and the web, but also in media world-wide was tremendous. (more…)

"Buffy" fans, it's time to arm your keyboards and get ready to hit the message boards. The folks at Vertigo entertainment are getting ready to relaunch "Buffy" once again. The folks at Vertigo are teaming up with the original movie direct Fran and Kaz Kazui to throw together this big screen take. The promise is a relaunch and not a sequel or a prequel. Can the fandom handle a non Whedon buffy with yet another perky blonde stepping into the slayer's shoes?
Sad news for "Castlevania" fans; the Paul W.S. Anderson big screen adaptation is officially dead. No more chances of Simon Belmont and clan on the silver screen. Could this be a sign of the end of video game movies?
Despite reports of raucous boo-ing and general hate for "Antichrist" at the Cannes Film Festival, lead actress Charlotte Gainsbourg was named Best Actress of the festival. It's seldom that horror is given any accolades at such events so kudos to Gainsbourg for drawing the nod despite the widespread distaste for the moving coming out of France.
Ron Perlman says that if all goes well he'll be starring in Don Coscarelli's "Bubba Nosferatu" this fall. Perlman, of "Hellboy" fame, is replacing Bruce Campbell as "Elvis" from the first film. I love Perlman, but I'm not sure he's capable of filling either of those roles. We'll have to wait and see.
There's a new poster for this movie "Eve" that came out yesterday, but that's not the interesting news. People are (rightfully) remarking on the similarities between this and the comic book adaptation "Hack & Slash"... and by "similarities" I mean, it's the same exact plot. There's enough room in my heart for two sexy slasher hunters, but I'm not sure the rights holders to "Hack & Slash" are going to agree. We'll keep you updated on any legal shenanigans that may arise from this.
Thomas Dekker of "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" talks about a few upcoming horror projects he's starring in. This should really please all of the Google searchers who seem to end up on our site while searching for people who also hate this guy.
Will Arnett and Michael Shannon have joined the cast of the "Jonah Hex" adaptation. After finally making my way through "Arrested Development" on DVD, hearing Arnett's name in conjunction with any project pretty much turns me into a giddy school girl.
Say what you want about the Weinstein's, they're definitely shrewd business men. They're continuing that trend by buying all the French horror they can while at the Cannes film festival. The way things have gone lately with the horror coming from our froggy friends, I can't say I blame them.

Reading time: 4 – 6 minutes
Rabies is a serious — almost always fatal — viral infection of the central nervous system. The virus is present in the saliva of infected mammals, and is most often spread via a bite wound. Raccoons, skunks, bats, foxes, and coyotes are the most common carriers of rabies in the United States, though any mammal, including domestic dogs and cats, can become infected and transmit the disease. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention keeps statistics on rabies incidence in the U.S., and notes that cases are quite rare. Only one or two individuals a year become infected with the rabies virus, and prophylaxis (vaccination post-exposure, but prior to the development of symptoms) is almost always effective.
Despite the very good prognosis for exposed individuals who receive appropriate post-exposure prophylaxis, rabies is nearly universally fatal once symptoms begin to appear. After exposure to rabies, it generally takes a few weeks for early symptoms to develop. The earliest symptoms are flu-like, but resolve after several days to a week. Symptoms then become more specific, and include anxiety, hallucination, insomnia, and abnormal cognition and behavior. There have been fewer than 10 reported cases of survival from clinical rabies (that is to say, rabies that has developed to the point of being symptomatic). Until recently, there were only two documented cases of survival from clinical rabies without post-exposure prophylaxis.
The first documented survival of this type occurred in 2004 in Wisconsin [1]. A 15-year-old girl was exposed to rabies after picking up a bat, which subsequently bit her. The wound was cleaned, but there was no post-exposure prophylaxis administered. She developed symptoms approximately one month post-exposure. Following admission to the hospital, she was put into an induced coma for a week. Surprisingly, she recovered from the virus and was brought out of the coma.
A second case of survival from clinical rabies with no proper post-exposure prophylaxis occurred in 2009 [3]. A 17-year-old Texas girl who'd had contact with bats during a cave exploration — but who did not recall being bitten — developed symptoms approximately two months thereafter. She eventually recovered with supportive care.
Recently, a third case of survival from clinical rabies has been reported [3]. An 8-year-old California girl developed symptoms and was admitted to the hospital. After the rabies diagnosis was made, she was put into an induced coma. 52 days later, she was discharged from the hospital to continue therapy as an outpatient. It was eventually determined that she'd been exposed to rabies after coming into contact with feral cats.
It's interesting to note that in all three cases of recovery from clinical rabies with no post-exposure prophylaxis, the patients were children. Whether this is clinically relevant or merely coincidence has not yet been established; there are simply insufficient numbers to derive robust conclusions. Nevertheless, a third such case of recovery begins to pique scientific interest, and it may be that in the coming years, researchers will be able to identify factors that make children more resilient in the face of clinical rabies infection.
The CDC warns that despite the third documented case of clinical rabies survival, there are no justified grounds for viewing rabies as treatable. The very slight possibility of recovery from clinical rabies notwithstanding, the CDC emphasizes the importance of rabies education in reducing the risk of exposure and obtaining proper post-exposure care. Any physical contact with a bat, regardless of evidence of a bite, is grounds for receiving post-exposure prophylaxis (unless the bat is obtained and tests negative for rabies). Any bite from a wild mammal, unless the animal can be obtained and tests negative for rabies, is grounds for post-exposure prophylaxis. Any bite from a domestic dog or cat, unless the animal tests negative for rabies or has a documented history of up-to-date rabies vaccination, is grounds for post-exposure prophylaxis.
One final note for those who are nervous about the nature of post-exposure rabies prophylaxis: while rabies shots were once given in the abdomen and quite painful, they're now given in the arm (like a flu shot), and are no more painful than any other immunization.

Lifehacker Pack for Android: Our List of the Essential Android Apps
In just a few short years, Android has grown from a small project within Google to the most prolific mobile operating system on the planet. The app ecosystem has grown right along with it. In our annual Lifehacker Pack for Android, we chose the best, most useful, and most essential apps you could ever need on your phone.
The Lifehacker Pack is a yearly snapshot of our favorite, essential applications for each of our favorite platforms. For our always-updating directory of all the best apps, be sure to bookmark our Android App Directory
Any.do/Google Keep/Wunderlist
To-do list managers come in more flavors than Skittles, but one of these three should work for just about everyone. In addition to being a Lifehacker crowd favorite
Boomerang/Inbox by Gmail
Boomerang has been one of our favorite apps for powering up your email for a while. You can schedule messages, snooze them for later, and even set up recurring messages. This year, however, Google created their own improved inbox called, well, Inbox. This app allows you to bundle related emails together, snooze emails, or pin them as to-dos. It also surfaces important information in your emails like links to package tracking info, reservations, and more. Inbox also plugs into your Google account to show you your Google Now reminders directly in the app.
Today Calendar
Making a decent-looking calendar application on a phone is hard. Calendars need to display a lot of information in a small space. In this, Today Calendar excels. The unique split view shows you an overview of your month on the top half of your phone with an agenda for the selected day on the bottom half. It also has quick actions that allow you to call numbers, pull up addresses, or email an attendee with one tap.
Dropbox/Google Drive
Dropbox is the standard when it comes to syncing files between multiple computers. Nothing beats its speed, simplicity, and ubiquity. However, if you like to stick to Google's ecosystem, Google Drive offers a bit more flexibility when it comes to integrated apps
The internet is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. It takes an equally big app to keep track of everything you need to save from it. Evernote, when used properly
For some reason, many of us are much more comfortable grinding away at tedious tasks if we get to level up. HabitRPG takes this concept and applies to real life instead of World of Warcraft
Internet and Communications
Chrome on Android has had a difficult history, but it's grown up a lot over the years. Now, it includes a ton of useful features. Individual tabs now show up in Lollipop's new multitasking interface, you can view tabs open on other devices, and of course, incognito mode. There's also a wealth of experimental features like a stripped-down "reader" mode
Twitter/Falcon Pro
Finding a decent alternative Twitter client is pretty hard, due to Twitter's bizarre stance on locking out the developers that make them
Ever since Google replaced Google Talk with Hangouts, the app has been getting incrementally better. It can now merge your IM and SMS conversations, supports group messaging, has Google Voice integration, video chat, stickers, and plenty more. If you haven't taken a look at Hangouts for your primary messaging and/or texting application, it's worth a second look.
Google Voice
The fact that Google Voice hasn't been updated in what seems like forever may have caused some to worry a bit
Pushbullet's has leaped to the forefront of our app watch list with constant, substantial updates. What started as an app to send links between your devices now functions as the do-everything bridge between your devices
Google Now
Google Now remains one of the most useful apps you can have on your phone. It's almost impossible to list all the amazing things Google Now can do (although we've tried
Google Maps
Calling Google Maps an essential app is a bit of an undersell, as it's one of the most-used Android apps of all time. Google Maps for Android includes a ton of excellent features like integrated search history, local traffic incidents, and more. This year, Google's also made it way easier to send directions to yourself from the desktop. And all of this is on top of Maps already being our favorite map application
Google Now includes basic weather forecasting, but if you need a little more oomph in your predictions, 1Weather is the app to beat. The app comes with live-updating widgets, animated radar and cloud cover maps, and plenty of other information that you just don't get with Google Now. It may not be for everyone, but if you need more than the most basic weather info, 1Weather is your jam.
Android Device Manager/Lookout
The number of ways to keep your phone safe has only grown over the years. When you get a new Android phone, we highly recommend installing Android Device Manager (among other things). This app can locate your phone if lost, remotely lock or even wipe it if it's stolen. As basic security goes, it's the bare minimum anyone should have. If you're looking for something more, Lookout
Music and Photos
Play Music/Spotify
When Google launched Play Music, we were pretty blown away with how impressive it is as a music service
If you're not keen on managing your own huge library and would rather just let an algorithm decide your playlist for you, Pandora stands alone. The service is known for its ability to match users' tastes reliably with minimal interaction. Just set it and forget it.
When it comes to tagging music while you're out, it still doesn't get much better than Shazam. The app can recognize virtually any song, even over background noise. You can then find the track on services like Play Music, Spotify, Rdio, and even Amazon Prime. It will also show you music videos, lyrics, and discography information for tracks where available.
Instagram may have started as a place to share pictures of your lunch (I assume), but it's grown up to include a wide variety of useful features like direct photo and video messaging
Snapseed/Google Photos
Google's photo tools have always been pretty stellar (if chaotic). For starters, Snapseed is a pretty powerful photo editor with a ton of handy tools for tweaking your images. The recently-revamped Google Photos can then manage your massive library, organize into albums, and even perform "visual searches" using some pretty impressive image recognition software.
Camera Zoom FX/Google Camera
Camera ZOOM FX remains one of our favorite Android cameras
Movies and Video
Netflix is inarguably the king of content streaming online. While you may want to make sure you're on WiFi before you stream the entire new season of Orange is the New Black, the mobile app is a must have for watching movies and TV shows while away from the living room. Where Netflix doesn't have what you want, Hulu (which has mercifully dropped the "Plus") very well may. The overlap between the two services' libraries are so minimal that it's sometimes worth it to have both.
Arguably, there was no more noble purpose to the smartphone revolution than to finally, and with authority answer the question "Where do I know that guy from?" IMDb is useful for more than just trivia, though. You can search for showtimes, create lists of movies you want to see, and get notified of new releases. If you ever watch movies, IMDb belongs on your phone.
BS Player
Whether you have a limited amount of data or just watch too many movies, sometimes it's helpful to have some files on your phone directly. BS Player is our favorite pick for Android video player
Reading and News
Bookmarks are okay for saving the occasional web page that you need to hang on to, but for saving articles to read later, you'll start to get overwhelmed real fast. Pocket helps by saving articles in their entirety so you can read come back to them when you have time, even when you're offline. If you want to get more advanced, you can use Pocket to save everything you need online.
Kindle/Play Books
Between Amazon's Kindle app and Google's Play Books, it's never been easier to find a way to read books on your phone or tablet. Amazon has the advantage in having one of the most robust libraries, as well as a powerful app. Play Books is no slouch either (and in fact it's ourfavorite ereader for Android
Even saying the words "Google Reader" can be traumatizing to those who still sorely miss our favorite RSS reader. However, Feedly stepped up to fill the void and, in many ways, it exceeds what Google ever did. Feedly not only has one of the best news reader apps around, but it has its own ecosystem of clients, so if you don't like the default interface, you can use Feedly as a backend to sync all your feeds.
Health, Food, and Fitness
Runkeeper has been one of our favorite fitness apps for years
Runkeeper is excellent for runners, but if you're looking for a more robust health and fitness app, Fitocracy gamifies your entire workout. It also encourages community involvement in order to keep you accountable. It also has a robust web app that keeps you engaged when you're at your desk. If you're ready to step beyond basic fitness tracking, Fitocracy is one of the best things you can do for yourself.
MyFitnessPal/Lose It!
If you're tracking your workouts, it makes sense you'd also track what you eat. MyFitnessPal and Lose It! both allow you to scan the foods you eat, track your calories, nutrients, and set goals for your target weight. Both apps are pretty fundamentally similar, so you can take your pick for your own preference.
Yelp is one of those apps that's so good at what it does, its name becomes synonymous with the task itself. When it comes to restaurant discovery and reviews, Yelp is the de facto standard. With a huge library of user reviews, it's never been easier not only to find your next meal, but know ahead of time whether or not a restaurant is worth your time and money.
Google's default launcher is pretty good, but there's plenty of room for improvement. Nova and Apex are both excellent, customizable launchers with copious extra features on top of existing functionality. With both, you can hide unwanted apps, choose custom animations, and apply custom icon/skin packs. Which one is better is largely a matter of personal preference, so pick one or try both and see which one you like.
DashClock Widget
Widgets have always been one of Android's strongest unique features and nowhere is that more apparent than Dashclock. This widget can display information at a glance like number of unread emails, missed calls, or calendar appointment. The real awesome thing, however, is that you can get extensions
Android has always been pretty customizable, but My Color Screen's Themer app
SwiftKey was already our favorite Android keyboard before it became free to use. With intelligent word prediction, Swype-like gesture input, and cloud sync of custom dictionaries, it's difficult to find a better typing experience on your phone.
Most phones can adjust their notification volume with hardware buttons, but it's usually an all-or-nothing thing. Silence takes it to the next level
Tasker is a miracle app on Android. You can use it to send voice commands to your thermostat
ES File Explorer
Android doesn't come with a built in file explorer like desktop operating systems do, but ES File Explorer more than picks up the slack. It can explore your SD card or internal storage, access your files via FTP, or even manage your Dropbox files in the same app. It even comes with a built in app manager, so you can install, uninstall, and backup apps. Some features may require root, but it's useful for everyone.
Fiddling with your tiny phone when you're at a full computer is a pain, particularly if you need to access files on your phone. AirDroid does more than you could possibly ever need
Unified Remote
In keeping with the theme of fixing minor annoyances with insanely robust apps, Unified Remote is the yin to AirDroid's yang. You can use this app to remotely control your computer over Wi-Fi with your phone or tablet. While it does include a virtual trackpad and keyboard, Unified Remote really shines with custom remotes for common apps like Netflix, VLC, Plex, and more. You can even create custom widgets to control just about everything
Root Apps
Strictly speaking, Greenify isn't a root app anymore, but it's still best when you are rooted. It monitors your apps and disables any you aren't using to help save battery (so Facebook can't drain your battery in the background when you haven't touched it for hours). If you're not rooted, you can still select a list of apps that you want to hibernate and add a "hibernate all" switch to your home screen, but it's not nearly as robust without root.
Titanium Backup
Contrary to what Android's welcome screens would have you believe, Google doesn't have a proper backup and restore system out of the box. Titanium Backup is the classic mainstay that fixes this problem. Despite being an older app, it still checks out. Rooted users can employ Titanium Backup to create a fully automated app backup system
Few can argue that Xposed is one of the most powerful and useful apps root users can have. Technically, Xposed is a framework that allows users to create their own customized version of Android

Cisco has announced security upgrades to cut the time compromises go unnoticed on endpoints, giving attackers less time to do damage if they get past preventive security measures.
Unveiled at the Cisco Partner Summit this week, the new AMP for Endpoints comes with a lightweight agent to gather data that is analyzed in the Cisco AMP cloud. This lifts the processing burden from customers' infrastructure.
And the platform now includes an agentless feature for devices that can't take an agent, such as visitors' laptops.
In addition to the cloud version, the analytics part of the platform can also be purchased for deployment on customer premises in their own private clouds. Detection, analysis and recommended response are handled in the cloud and pushed to the endpoints.
AMP for Endpoints can be deployed as a standalone product to catch incursions or as part of a broader Cisco AMP architecture. As part of the broader architecture, it can share endpoint intelligence with telemetry from network control points, the network edge, email, Web and data centers to create a more holistic security environment, Cisco says.
AMP for endpoints continuously monitors and when an event pops up on the platform's dashboard, clicking on the event reveals context about it – where did the event start, how long has it been in the environment and what can be done about it.
To help minimize the number of endpoint agents deployed, the AMP for Endpoints agent includes anti-virus so a separate anti-virus agent is unnecessary.
Part of the new AMP for Endpoint release includes agentless post-execution detection that monitors proxy logs for evidence of malicious activity and compromises. The analysis of the proxy logs is performed by the cloud-based analytics engine. When malware infects an endpoint and launches executables, the malicious actions of the executable can be picked up by analyzing the behaviors in the context of known bad behavior.
The main endpoint goal is reducing the time to detection of a breach or compromise and provide information about how to react, Cisco says.
Also at its partners' conference, Cisco announced three new services customers can buy from either Cisco or its partners. These include deployment services, incident response if AMP discovers things they've never seen before. It also includes active threat analytics to monitor threat intelligence day to day.
In addition, Cisco is bundling security products into packages that address specific customer needs, and offers them at prices less than the sum of the individual products. The use cases include data center and access security.

This is The Switch. It's half pepper shaker, half salt shaker and entirely something I wish I'd thought of years ago.
From Fred, Switch is and adorable white box that lets you flick back and forth between pepper and salt as needed (or just, you know, for fun). Both exit through the same holes, through a healthy blend of engineering and witchcraft. No price available yet, but Switch should be available sometime later this year. [Fred via Wired]

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP)—Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic fought back from a poor first set to beat American Bethanie Mattek-Sands 1-6, 7-5, 6-3 on Sunday to win the Malaysian Open.
Each was looking for her first WTA singles title, but the 127th-ranked Pliskova won in her first final.
Wild card Mattek-Sands — a former top-30 player who has slipped to No. 197 — struggled against her Czech opponent in the third set, which was delayed by more than 30 minutes due to an evening rainstorm.

Closet Collections - Sean Crowley
Today I'm happy to premier Closet Collections: an intimate look into some of my favorite menswear designers' personal closets. I'm proud to kick it off with Sean Crowley, Rugby's own tie designer and man-about-town. As you can see from the images above, Sean's collection extends way past his closet. He couldn't have been nicer about showing me around his amazing Brooklyn brownstone. The hallmark of it all was his unbelievable tie rack. It's easy to see where he gets inspiration for some of our own ties. A particularly good selection of them are on sale now at Rugby so do yourself a favor and check out Sean's amazing handywork.

I'm also blown away by his scarf collection. Impressive.

quick question, do you have any idea roughly how large that tie rack is. it seems like it could be several feet wide and deep or much smaller. do you have any rough estimates of its size
- June 28, 2009 at 8:39 AM
Any idea what Sean uses in his hair? That pom/whatever it is looks ideal.

I purchased this for a Christmas gift. Sorry, I won't be posting a picture. The quality of the photo is great. Very clear and detailed. I was impressed. I always have my doubts when purchasing something 'unseen', but I am very pleased with this. Thanks
For the artist, the world is limitless. But to truly see this world, we must first learn to believe in ourselves and our abilities, lead with the heart, and let the voices of doubt, both internal and external, fall on deaf ears. Day 235 of my 365 photo a day project Copyright 2016 Scott Norris Photography scottnorrisphotography.com
Emotion. Mood. Feelings. This is what I capture through my photographs. Whether it is landscapes, architectural elements, still life, or macros - it is a very personal journey as my own fears, triumphs, beliefs, and shortcomings are exposed with each photo. Much of what I shoot is done spontaneously without preconceived thought or plan. I let what is around me dictate what is photographed. And the shooting is only the first step - a jumping off point. I take the raw images and create what I see in my mind's eye. Coaxing out textures present in the shot - sometimes adding them. Enhancing the contrast of light and dark to create the mood and emotions I felt and feel. In the end, it's all about listening to my heart and mind...
Our return policy is very simple:
If you're not happy with a purchase that you made on FineArtAmerica.com, for any reason, you can return it to us within 30 days of the order date. As soon as it arrives, we'll issue a full refund for the entire purchase price. Please note - Fine Art America does not reimburse the outgoing or return shipping charges unless the return is due to a defect in quality.

How did you managed to get the Japanese Godzilla games. By the way, what are your thoughts of the Godzillas game released in this century?WatchmenFTW
July 3, 2010 at 5:31 pm
This and the Godzillathon you did have really got me interested in Godzilla. I hope a new game comes out that's just like the PS2 and Xbox games, they looked awesome. I'd love to play as Ghidorah destroying stuff.volt28
July 7, 2010 at 7:08 pm
This is one of the best. Thankyou. I love Monster movies and while never playing these ga,mes as a child, I can imagine the heartbreak and disapointment. While the game developers were trying to be creative, they failed. Horriably.rickbattosai123
July 31, 2010 at 1:45 am
The best time for games were NES and SNES and SEGA. Trust me, these new games come out with very few good games. It's mostly graphics over everything else. Maybe GODZILLA sucked out to new consoles but there are so much more classics on the bit consoles. In terms of VIDEO GAMING, you were born at the perfect time. Our generation grew up on the evolution of gaming. I find these new games are too advanced for kids. It's mostly targeted for older audiences that grew up with older consoles. We played the old stuff and can enjoy the new stuff. Kids start right off the bat with these new games but don't have the experience of gaming like we do.Gman123

People like me who play xbox 360 and love Godzilla get fucked hard because no Godzilla games came out for the 360. Godzilla Unleashed came out for PS2 and Wii, but not for the 360, that makes me fucking pissed as shit. Godzilla loving xbox 360 gamers NEED just 1 Godzilla game, JUST 1.solidusreaper

October 27, 2010 at 3:30 pm
If it wern't for the 1998 American version of Godzilla, I wouldn't have been interested in Godzilla at all. I haven't seen all the films, and I enjoy watching Monster Madness 2008, which is what intruduced me to Cinemassacre. Other than the 1998 film, I've also seen Godzilla 2000 theatrically, and it was awesome.
1:55- I've also heard about this the same way.
How can they let a game like Godzilla 2 be released?
The Game Boy game looks like it was intended for pre-school students.
I haven't played the 21st century games, but they DO look awesome and fun to play.
Love the end. Deffinatly the best Nerd moment ever made.lunchyo9

I was a fan of godzilla when I kid, but I never found any good games, but I did play king of the monsters 2 …… it was one of my favourite games, it's better then any tournament fighters game with big monsters…WHY WASN'T GODZILLA LIKE THAT !!!! the only thing sucked about the game is the god awful names the monsters had…Beetlemaster…Sackeyes…Eifflely….huggfrogger…lavicus…clawhead and Famardy ?! Oh ya theres a godzilla nock off called Super Geon,theres an Altra man nock off called Atomic guy and theres a metal king kong called Cyber woo, those are the heros . Good game, but crappy names.handsome pete
May 8, 2011 at 2:12 am

These games are too little too late. Sure, kids growing up nowadays will get to play these games, but they don't give a shit about Godzilla, they mostly think he's a joke.browncoat

What was the new curse word James came up with?

James,please read this comment is IMPORTANT
In 1994 a godzilla game was released for the PC engine or the Turbo Duo,i don´t remember wich one,anyway the game is pretty good and has good music and graphics,you should give it a review,please read thisswedenboy
August 4, 2011 at 2:37 pm
@browncat: he dident come up with one, he said fuck and bleeped it instead so it would sound like a new badass curseword that is so nasty and horrible that it wouldent even be allowed online on his own show. and he did that because its kinda hard to come up with a new fresh curseword that sounds bad right on the spot like that, so he bleeped it and let us just imagine what it was;)jonnyaguiar

As a child, I couldn't decide what product of Japan was better; Godzilla or Nintendo. Then one weekend I rented Godzilla ON Nintendo. It was a waste of a weekend. I rented it on a Friday night, was supposed to return it Monday before noon, but it was MLK day that Monday, so I got to return it Tuesday at noon. I wasted a three day weekend in 1992 on Godzilla for NES. 🙁

when james says "what's this, what's that" i was surprised that he didn't know it was dogora and matango, guess he's not such a big toho monster movie fan after all :p

November 24, 2011 at 2:11 am
Honestly, I too am a huge Godzilla and many of the old games were pretty shitty, and what's fucked up about being a fan is that back in the 1980's and 90's, you could only find these movies in their shot English dubbing and not in their original Japanese glory. I absolutely fucking LOVE Godzilla movies, owning any one i could get my hands on as well as frigging catching some on the Sci-Fi (not SyFy as it is nowadays) Channel. I remember sitting on my floor in my living room recording Destroy All Monsters and Godzilla vs. The Cosmic Monster. and to gojirafan1, he stated himself being a Monster fan, Dogora and Matango are kinda alien invasion films not monster. James, I too am a Giant Monster fan and I know what its like to find out that many of the movies are rarely EVER released here
November 24, 2011 at 10:07 am
@JohnODonnell actually Dogora and Matango WERE released in the US as early as the Godzilla films sure back then he probably would not have known but james said himself that with the internet currently and bieng a fan of toho films and all well im just surprised he's a toho fan has access to the internet has access to other toho movies and hasn't even heard of Dogora and Matango (both of which are among toho's most successfull movies right up there with early godzilla showa movies)Chris2636

Many fans show their appreciation for James Rolfe's videos and often compare themselves to him. Just because people say I agree with this and I agree with that, doesn't necessarily mean the person agrees with everything. Perhaps, the "people" don't want to say what they disagree with because their opinion may be offensive. However, I'm a opened-minded person and have heard James many times mention, "I don't care if your opinion differ from mines." If viewers are trying to be posers, then James Rolfe must be a person they truly respect." @Chris2636NightWalker990

Perhaps, the "people" don't want to say what they disagree with because their opinion may be offensive. However, I'm a opened-minded person and have heard James many times mention in his videos, "I don't care if your opinion differ from mines." If viewers are trying to be posers, then James Rolfe must be a person they truly respect." Also, people have been disagreeing with his latest "YOU KNOW WHAT'S BULLSHIT" video. @Chris2636SniffHeinkel

Never played any of the Godzilla Games for the NES. The only one I played (that I remember anyway), was one of the Godzilla games for Xbox. He ought to review Beavis and Butthead for the Sega. Now THERE is a truly BAD game. The other game that would be interesting to see the AVGN nerd's take on it.andyfsemple

When I was a wee kid I went into the shop and saw Godzilla for the NES and was really excited, but it was new and cost too much so ended up getting Blaster Master instead. While I loved Blaster Master, I was still annoyed at missing out on Godzilla, my favourite thing ever… found out many many years later I dodged a bullet. Got the one on the PS2 though. It's good but… I really woulda' cared more as a child. So I know that feel.SniffHeinkel

March 16, 2012 at 3:07 pm
@KyleSchofield Not much. The control might be a little frustrating, the Save the Earth and Unleashed games are epic. Destroy All Monsters is classic, and I pop it in any day, but all of the new games, are awesome!JamesOuellette
March 18, 2012 at 1:12 am
I feel your pain, I had Godizilla on NES and Super Godzilla on SNES…..broke my spirits. I use to watch the Godzilla movies when they'd come MST 3K all the time.
Then Destroy all Monster Melee came out….and I was mad at first, because It was the game I wanted as a kid…not that crap on the NES and SNES.
March 28, 2012 at 12:26 pm
Your face expressions while playing the XBox and PS2 Godzilla's games are hilarious lol there is a Sega Genesis game called King of the Monsters, although it is not about Godzilla it tries to imitate its essence: giant monsters fighting while destroying cities 🙂 its a fun game, check it out if you don't know it. And it has a sequel, full of crazy giant monsters!
March 28, 2012 at 9:50 pm
@PedroConstantinoAugusto Actually it was origially a Neo Geo Game.
Also on the SNES

The Wii version of Godzilla Unleashed is a lot of fun. The ability to slam or grab and throw opponents while actually using physical gestures makes it more violent and fun. Plus, getting a little exercise ain't half bad.ptbibble25

1. Read 12 novels.
I polished off Astrid and Veronika, plowed through Elizabeth Berg's Dream When You're Feeling Blue and started John Irving's Until I Find You. I think it is safe to say that I've found my reading groove.
2. Find a new job or go back to school. Or, ideally, find a new job AND go back to school.
Seeing as how I still haven't heard about that job I interviewed for, I'd say that was a strike out. I feel like this will never happen.
3. Go to the gym with increased frequency.
Gym: Matching my previous record - which I consider a miracle, considering all of the soccer I'm playing - I made 16 trips to the gym in June! I'm at 79 of my goal of 175 in 2007.
Skating: Again, a mere 5 times. I always skate less in the summer.
Soccer: I played 14 times in June. I'm a little surprised my legs haven't fallen off.
4. Not make a weight-related resolution.
I haven't even bothered weighing myself lately. It's mostly because I'm too tired but, hey, I'll take success where I can get it.
5. Knit more.
Ummm. I picked out the knitting project that I'd like to tackle next. Maybe I can make an attempt at starting it next month.
6. Stop the incessant purchasing.
I bought a few things for our Vegas trip. Other than that, I was relatively well behaved.
7. Visit with my grandparents more.
I stopped in and saw Grandma one Friday afternoon last month. We celebrated Father's Day together, too. The best visit was on Saturday, when we went out to their boat for the weekend.
8. Cut back on the coffee/hazelnut cappuccino mix that I feast on allfrickingdaylong at work. It's as bad as sipping on a soda all day.
While I did technically quit coffee, I managed to have one cup on a sleepy day sometime last week.
9. Become a sweet-ass juggler.
No dedicated juggling practice. Bad me.
10. Allow myself to trust Colin.
Progress was not made in June. We hit a bump and it knocked us a step back. I can't analyze it anymore than that.
June's resolution of the month: Drink water like woah
I thought that I'd done it, because I feel like I'm constantly throwing back another glass of water and I've been really good about tracking my consumption. Not so much. I averaged 7.45 glasses of water per day. I should note that I probably got in my 64 ounces a day, because I was drinking out of a lot of big glasses, but I wasn't tracking by ounce, so I still failed.
A pinch to grow an inch: July's resolution of the month
Rededicate myself to the job search
It's exhausting and it is disheartening, but I need to be stubbornly dedicated to finding a new job. I want to be out of here by the time my lease is up in September. The only way I'll be able to do that is by applying for jobs. I'll apply for a minimum of 20 jobs in July. Hopefully I will land some interviews. Hopefully one will stick.

Today I couldn't help myself.
The Chuo line conveniently stops at Nakano, meaning that I couldn't fight my urge to NOT get off that train and have a look around Nakano Broadway.
The last time I was here, I knew, just like in Roma, that I'd be returning here soon once more. The only difference is there was no "Trevi Fountain" to waste my one yen coins.
I looked for some more Bandai games.
The only one they had was Mr Franken for about 7300 yen in the original box. I passed on it thinking I got a good deal with the ones I already got. There was a Nintendo Game & Watch for about $1000. That's just crazy.
I really like this place. It's one of those special places you don't find in guide books. It's only one express stop away from Shinjuku, so if you have nothing better to do and want an alternative to Akihabara, this is it.
Tachikawa has a whole lot less appeal.
It looks a little more lively than some other 'burbs in Tokyo (strangely Tomioka comes to mind vividly). But sadly this place feels more Fujisawa than anywhere else.
I walked around a little bit today, but apart from a few shopping centres it feels devoid of any kind of soul. Lucky then, that as usual I had heaps of classes today.
Let the weekend come quickly. Please.

Just Passing Through Nakano Broadway

Tachikawa does lack a bit of soul, but it has some awesome places too.
In summer it's got a cool beergarden on the roof of Takashimaya department store.
There is a Nakano-esque floor (4th?) in the From-Chubu department store near ECC.
There is cool Chinese restaurants in the top 2 floors of Granduo Dept Store.
An relaxing Irish Pub - County Clare is on the northside-about 2 mins from the station.
There is also some cool terrace bars if you look carefully, mind you these are best in Late Spring and Summer.

Thanks for the tips Giovanni!
Maybe it was too soon to pass judgement on a place I haven't been to for very long.
Nakano-esque? I like the sound of that.
I'll keep my eyes wider open next time I'm there.
Thanks for visiting my blog.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va., April 10 (UPI) -- A Virginia man who found a silver ring engraved with the name a Civil War soldier said he spent seven years tracking down the owner's family.
John Blue of Manassas, who has been hunting Civil War relics for 30 years, said he found the ring engraved with the name of union soldier Levi Schlegel at a Fredericksburg construction site and decided to return the $1,500 relic to Schlegel's family, WUSA-TV, Washington, reported Wednesday.
"I wanted to set an example. I've never heard of an ID piece going back to an original family member," Blue said.
Blue said he enlisted the help of a genealogist, who eventually sought assistance from the Reading (Pa.) Public Library.
"They actually said you know there's a Schlegel that works here and it just happened to be the guy that I'm meeting today," Blue said of the library.
Blue said he was proud to be able to hand the ring over to Ernie Schlegel, a fifth-generation descendant of Levi Schlegel.
"After 30 years of metal detecting, I wish my dad was here to see it," Blue said.
Schlegel, who said he learned his ancestor survived the Civil War and lived to be 93, said the ring will remain in his family.
"The ring is going to be handed down to my son. It will stay in the family," Schlegel said.

|It's often difficult to keep the attention of four dolphins at the dock.
Santini, Cayo, Pandora and Gypsi are smart ladies with very different dolphinalities. Santini is a Teacher's Pet who always wants to do everything perfectly. Sisters Cayo and Pandora are extremely independent, curious and need to know what is happening at every moment. Gypsi, the youngest of the bunch, is a free spirit who swims wherever the tide takes her. You can imagine with such dynamic dolphinalities a session with them would always keep you on your toes.
That's exactly what one of our trainers, Emily, discovered as she spent time with these four ladies. They all had a bit of trouble focusing on what was going on. Pandora kept sneaking over to the side of the dock to hang out away from the pack. Cayo had a little remora hanging on her belly, so Santini did not want to sit next to her. Gypsi wandered off, which is typical, then came back and acted as though she'd never been gone.
To keep all of the girls engaged, Emily had them practice some imitations. She'd ask Santini to do her shark behavior and then ask Cayo and Gypsi to copy. Pandora was asked to bob up and down, followed by Santini and Cayo. At one point there was even an imitation train. Emily sent Gypsi on a wave, and then asked each dolphin to follow one at a time, imitating what the girl directly in front of them did.
When they returned to the dock, Emily responded with lots of excitement , making it a huge party for the dolphins. They did so well mastering all of their imitate behaviors. Plus, it made them even more eager to hang out all together at the dock. Since each of the girls loves attention, it was a bit hard to keep them all on their flukes. By the end of the session, all four were happy to sit next to each other, even with the remora still hanging around. It was a fun time for all!

NY gov: Maid of Mist to continue at Niagara Falls
A deal has been struck to keep the Maid of the Mist scenic tour boats running from the New York side at Niagara Falls.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo (KWOH'-moh) confirmed the deal Tuesday. The deal is a part of a new license agreement with the state. The boat company will pay the state $105 million over 30 years.
Cuomo says the Maid of the Mist Corp. has agreed to invest $32 million in continuing operations that will provide more state revenue through the Niagara Falls State Park.
The agreement also will lead to improvements for the tourist attraction, potentially including rock climbing and rappelling.
The family-owned tour boat company will make improvements at a former power station nearby to create a winter storage and maintenance facility.

Creating an Organized To Do List
Creating an organized to do list is one the best things you can do to make sure that your daily tasks are getting completed. You have many different tasks, papers and forms to deal with and creating an organized to do list can be done in just a few simple steps.
Get Organized for Action
If you want an organized to do list you must keep paper moving through your system (instead of stagnating on your desk). The first step to creating an organized to do list is to "verb" each action. That means sorting according to the action required. Start with the nearest pile, ask yourself what you need to do with each item and create a folder for each answer. You'll probably come up with categories like:
- "to pay"
- "to file"
- "to contact"
- "to buy"
- "to read"
- "to enter in computer"
- "to reconcile"
- "to give to _________"
Set these folders up in a file box or rack, placed in plain view. The goal is to break that pile down into just a few action categories and to give new paper a place to live until you have a chance to tackle it. Each day, take just a minute to go through the new to-do's and you will have an organized to do list!
Revamp Your Schedule
Another key to keeping an organized to do list is to make sure you have enough time to accomplish everything. Don't wait until you have time. You must make time. Schedule a regular weekly appointment with yourself – maybe an hour or two, once or twice a week – and block off that slot for "admin time". During admin time, your goal is to go through each folder in order and try to complete every item inside. If you can't complete that item for some reason, put it back in the folder and tackle it during your next admin period. And if you finish one step (say, paying a bill), but then realize that you have another step to take with that paper (perhaps calling to correct a billing error), move it to the appropriate folder for that next step. This will help you maintain an organized to do list.
Consolidate Your Efforts
Why would you worry about working through one folder before moving to the next? You will accomplish more in less time when you complete each activity in sequence (paying all of your bills at once, then making all of your calls, then doing all of your filing) – as opposed to bopping back and forth between different tasks. Take a "mass production" tip from Henry Ford – your work will get done faster and easier if you focus on one category at a time.
Sit Back and Relax
If you follow this system, you will have an efficient and easy to follow organized to do list. You'll never accumulate more than a week's worth of paper at any time and will have no reason to miss a deadline or pay a bill late. With an organized to do list you don't have to continually worry, "When will I get it all done", because you know that any to-do's will be taken care of during your next regular admin period.

First Drive: 2011 Dodge Durango
The Song Does Not Remain The Same
In this crossover-crazy world, makers of old-school SUVs are feeling the pinch to get with the 21st century and class 'em up. Ditch the truck frames, polish up the interior, and make it ride nicer. Give it a shave and a haircut, and perhaps even some "man-scaping."
Even a bad boy can clean up occasionally, and Dodge has taken this middle-ground approach with the new 2011 Dodge Durango. Yes, the ladder frame is gone in favor of a unibody borrowed from the Jeep Grand Cherokee that's been stretched out a bit. Sure, the suspension is now fully independent, and the four-wheel drive is actually all wheel-drive, but there's still plenty of traditional SUV DNA under the new makeup.
For example, in this strange new world where the Ford Explorer has morphed into a front wheel-drive-based crossover with a turbo-four for a premium engine, the Durango remains unabashedly rear drive and still comes with optional V-8 power. The big, 360 horse 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 puts 390 lb-ft through a five-speed automatic transmission (an eight-speed auto is coming), then either straight to the rear wheels or to a dual-range transfer case offering full-time all-wheel-drive with a low-range gear for serious pulling power. Chrysler's new 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6, meanwhile, delivers 290 horsepower and 260 lb-ft to the same automatic transmission and either the rear wheels only or full-time all-wheel drive (sans low-range).
Spend a few moments with your right foot buried in the Pentastar's throttle and you begin to question why they even offer a V-8 variant. This V-6 is not only more engine than most seven-passenger SUV buyers will ever need, but will obviously be the volume motor. Towing is one reason why you might opt for the V-8, as the bigger engine can tow 7,400 pounds. Though Dodge was quick to point out that the V-6 is capable of lugging 6,200 pounds around -- not bad at all.
By now, you may be wondering what makes the Durango different than its fraternal twin, the Jeep Grand Cherokee. So far, the drivetrain capabilities are the same and they even share the same 8.1 inches of ground clearance. But while the Durango does get load-leveling rear shocks, it doesn't get the Jeep's fancy air suspension. What it does get are shocks and springs up to 10-percent stiffer than the Jeep's for better on-road handling, not to mention a performance-oriented R/T model. In addition to being 10 inches longer than the Jeep and riding on a 5-inch-longer wheelbase, the Durango also features a number of electronic tricks to help its handling. They include electro-hydraulic power steering on V-6 models, an electronic limited-slip differential on the rear axle, trailer sway control, adaptive cruise control, and electronic roll mitigation for flatter handling.
The stretched wheelbase pays huge dividends for third row passengers. A pair of six-foot, 200-pounders could easily spend a couple of hours in the way-back without much discomfort. In fact, the second row seats offer only an inch or two more legroom.
Most impressive though, especially when compared to the last generation Durango, is the new SUV's ride and handling. The added length (when compared to the Grand Cherokee) improves the straight-line feel -- there's very little wobble and almost nothing to give away the fact that you're in such a large, heavy vehicle. Additionally, there's very little brake dive, even when you panic stop. And the brakes feel solid. Turn the wheel, and not only are you treated to a properly weighted tiller, but the Durango is almost happy about going around corners. You know what? Let's drop the word "almost." This Durango is one impressive truck.
While the mechanical work is all well and good, if there's any place the old Durango needed polishing, it was inside the cabin. You know it, we know it, and Dodge knows it. That's why it's been completely redesigned with higher-quality materials, tighter panel gaps, and fewer seams. Dodge even goes so far as to claim that the Durango doesn't have a base model, suggesting that the entry-level Express trim is equal to or better than other brands' mid-range trims. To make the point, Dodge loaded the Durango with optional Sirius satellite radio, Bluetooth streaming audio, hands-free calling, rear-seat entertainment and TV, and even mobile internet. On top of that, it seats seven yet can hold up to 84.5 cubic-feet of cargo with all the seats down. That's big enough to carry both a 6-foot couch and a coffee table inside the vehicle, Dodge claims.
Sticking with the interior, the Durango is quiet. Blame the vastly improved aerodynamics as well as the largely NVH-free yet loaded with high-strength steel frame. There's very little wind noise and a medium amount of roar from the 20-inch wheels and their accompanying rubber. The way Dodge tells it, the new Durango is a healthy compromise between less capable crossovers and luxury SUVs. Durango combines luxury vehicle quality and ride with SUV capability and crossover fuel economy, all at a price you can afford. Specifically, that price will start at $30,045 for the V-6 only Express, and climbs to $34,045 for the mid-level Crew. A CrewLux package is available for an extra $5000 with more options, or you can go all-out on a top-shelf Citadel for $42,645. Adding all-wheel drive to any model requires a $2000 upcharge. Pricing for the sporty R/T hasn't been announced.
While the Fords and Chevys of the world have gone full metro with their car-like crossovers and their limited off-road and towing capabilities, Dodge reckons there's still a market for blue-collar types looking to clean up a bit without going all high fashion. Are there enough buyers left who wear cowboy boots with a three-piece suit? We'll see.

Managing disaster-related risk
TitleManaging disaster-related risk
The United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) launched the Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction 2011, Revealing Risk, Redefining Development, at the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction today in Geneva. The report stresses the need for the international community to invest in "risk proof" development.
"As countries invest more in early warning preparedness, mortality risk from floods and cyclones is trending down," says Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon. "At the same time, economic loss and damage to homes, schools, health facilities and livelihoods are on the rise," he said.
According to the report, disaster-related economic losses are increasing across all regions, critically threatening the economies of low-income countries and even outstripping the wealth of many of the world's richer nations. For example, the risk of economic loss due to floods has increased by over 160 per cent since 1980 in high-income countries. The situation is further compounded by the fact that governments are often liable for a significant part of the losses, but rarely have the financial ability to pay.
An estimated 2,300 representatives from over 350 governments , regional and national organizations are taking part this week in the Third Session of the Global Platform, the main forum that brings together the worldwide disaster risk reduction community every two years.
Under the slogan "Invest Today for a Safer Tomorrow – Increase Investments in Local Action," the event will focus on the links between rising cost of disasters, how local communities adapt to climate change and the status of poverty-eradication efforts. The four-day conference will conclude with a brief statement and a plan of action for the future.

Trouble in BJP: Gadkari out, Rajnath likely as president
In dramatic developments on the eve of presidential nominations in the BJP, incumbent Nitin Gadkari announced late evening Tuesday that he will not seek a second term while former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Rajnath Singh emerged as his likely successor.
Gadkari, who till Tuesday afternoon appeared certain to be re-nominated, issued a statement late in the evening saying he would not be seeking another term as president.
The development followed Tuesday's Income Tax 'surveys' of around nine locations connected to alleged financial wrongdoing by company linked to Gadkari and signals by party MP Yashwant Sinha that he could contest if Gadkari was re-nominated.
Informed sources said BJP veteran L.K. Advani also had reservations of Gadkari getting a second term in view of allegations surrounding the Purti group linked to him.
They said that Rajnath Singh was likely to be once again made party chief though efforts were being made to find "a more nationally accepted face". Singh has been BJP president twice earlier.
The BJP president has traditionally been elected unopposed.
Rajnath's Singh's name emerged after a series of meetings involving party leaders Arun Jaitley, Venkaiah Naidu, Ram Lal and Ananth Kumar.
There was unease in sections of BJP over Gadkari's continuance though the party gave him a clean chit following a probe done by S. Gurumurthy, a financial analyst considered close to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
BJP leaders feared that his second term would come in the way of party's all-out attack against the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government on the issue of corruption in the run up to series of assembly polls this year and Lok Sabha polls in 2014.
Sources said RSS had been in favour of giving a second term to Gadkari despite apparent lack of warmth to the move by Advani. They said that Gadkari not getting a second term was an affirmation of Advani's writ running in the BJP and also vis-à-vis RSS.
In his late evening statement, Gadkari accused the UPA government of spreading disinformation about him.
"I have committed no wrong or any impropriety either directly or indirectly. Yet the UPA government has been making an effort to spread disinformation about me in order to hurt me and my party... I do not wish that this should in any way adversely affect the interest of the BJP. I, have, therefore decided not to seek a second term as the president of the BJP," he said.
Earlier in the day, Gadkari had issued another corrected statement terming "as calculated, mischievous and politically motivated the Income -Tax department's attempts to drag his name" into its surveys of various companies in Mumbai.
His first statement of the day had talked of the IT survey coming on the eve of his "re-election as BJP president for a second term".
Sinha, who has been against Gadkari's continuation as president, caused a flutter as he collected a nomination form and a copy of the voters' list from presidential poll in-charge Thawarchand Gehlot.
Another Gadkari-baiter and former member of the BJP's national executive, lawyer Mahesh Jethmalani had indicated Monday that he could contest against Gadkari if no one else does.
BJP sources said that Rajnath Singh was expected to file nomination Jan 23 morning. The announcement of new president is expected to be made later in the day.
Party sources said Sushma Swaraj's name was also being mentioned as a probable candidate but she had not accepted the offer so far. - IANS
