The College of Staten Island offers a program leading to the degree of Master of Science in Business Management. Designed for a broad spectrum of students with undergraduate degrees in business and related fields, it is focused on strategic management and accounting skills with required courses in major decision-making areas. Students will study advanced analytical methods and theory and acquire experience with new technology. Students may choose either the Strategic Management Track or the Large-Scale Data Analysis Track in order to complete the Master of Science in Business Management.
The Department of Business at CSI also offers Baccalaureate degrees in Accounting and in Business (with concentrations in Finance, International Business, Management, and Marketing,) and, in conjunction with the Department of Computer Science, a Baccalaureate degree in Information Systems. The Department of Media Culture offers degrees in Corporate Communications; the Department of Political Science, Economics, and Philosophy offers degrees in Economics. Graduates in all of these disciplines are potential candidates for the Master's degree program in Business Management.
In addition, the program serves Accounting graduates who will need 150 hours of baccalaureate and post-baccalaureate education to sit for the Certified Public Accountant examination.
The Master's degree program in Business Management at CSI is unique in CUNY. It specializes in management decision making and is thus appropriate for both accounting and non-accounting student populations.
Objectives of the Master's degree program in Business Management include:
The program admits students for the fall semester only.
A graduate Business Management Steering Committee comprised of the Program Coordinator and Deputy Area Coordinators from Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, International Business, Management, and Marketing will determine admissions using the following criteria:
**CSI offers a graduate proficiency accounting course (ACC 600)
Applicants may substitute a passing score on the CLEP examination for any of the proficiency requirements.
Students in the Master's degree program in Business Management are required to take 30 credit hours, or ten courses at three credits each, at the graduate level. Most students will have satisfied prerequisites in accounting (two courses), communications (through a communications course or through business classes with major presentation requirements such as upper-level courses in management and marketing), computer fundamentals (one course equivalent to BUS 150), economics (two courses equivalent to microeconomics and macroeconomics and quantitative methods (minimum of pre-calculus and statistics) as undergraduates. Those who have not fully completed the prerequisites, may be permitted to remedy undergraduate proficiencies, but courses taken to remove the deficiencies must be in addition to their regular coursework. Students may choose either the Strategic Management Track or the Large-Scale Data Analysis Track in order to complete the Master of Science in Business Management.

I found a stat during invisible illness week that really shocked me but in the same sense it made total sense to me. It said that 75% of marriages where one person has a chronic illness end in divorce. I am shocked by this but I also know it is true because I am one of the 75%. When I worked at the nursing home I saw it all to often. Peoples spouses would leave them once they got sick. On the other had I also saw the husbands that stuck around. I was always in awe of the ones that stayed with there spouses.
It makes me sad that people are so shallow that they leave when things are going as they hoped. It hurts me because I was 100% honest with my husband before we got married and once he finally saw that I was sick he left a few months later. I would never leave someone because they are sick. I know there are a few good men out there who leave but more than not they walk away.
The reason I am not dating is because I don't want to deal with another person getting scared and walking away. Since the MS is basically invisible well at least right now it is people can't understand that I am sick. Once they do finally see that I am sick they leave because they "can't" deal with it. I just irritates me that so many people are scared by something that affects me but I can't change that about people. I know this post is all over the place but it was hard for me to organize my thoughts on this post.Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2012 Margaret Margaret

Deepest Sympathy
There's a new sketch today over on SplitCoastStampers for Verve's Viva La Verve Sketch Challenge. The sketch this week was designed by Charmaine and it's amazing! There are so many possibilities with this sketch!
For my card I started with a kraft cardbase that I roughed up a bit. I layered that with another kraft panel that was embossed with a Cuttlebug Script embossing folder. I distressed that panel too. For the vertical panels I thought it would be fun to represent that section with a torn piece so I found a nice subtle blue scrap of designer paper (I have no clue what it's from) and used that, distressed it, tore it and distressed it some more. 🙂 The ribbon is the gorgeous new dark brown and cream polka dot ribbon from Verve's Polka Dot Basics Ribbon Collection. I layered it over a bit of twine thread and added to little Prima roses to the center of the bow. The sentiment is the new Deepest Sympathy Plain Jane and I stamped it on kraft using Memento Rich Cocoa ink.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you'll be able to join us for this week's sketch!

Wel, we have a difference of opinion. :-) I mainly don't want /dev to die in the process. I'm not so worried about subdividing the disks. Also, I doubt we'd want to make all 64 device nodes all the time. The first 32 or so should be more than sufficient (leaving hooks in MAKEDEV to make more). > # ...

Don't ask me why. I'll think on it for a while. The first 8 or 16 partitions would always correspond to whatever the current NetBSD partition table corresponds to. The others are more for compatability with whatever else is out there. For instance, for MacOS partitioned disks, each partition would correspond to one on-disk partition. For NetBSD partitioned disks, the first 22 would correspond to whatever is in the on-disk disklabel. Only with mbr disks does it get really messy. :-) Take care, Bill

Joe Cannon and Champ Clark
Tell of Humorist as Wash
ington Lobbyist
William Dean Howells Quotes
What Clemens Would Say .
to Gathering
(Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Nov. "William
Dean How tils presided at the memorial
to Mark Twain tonight in Carnegie
Mil. Joseph G. Cannon of the house
and Champ .Clark, speaker that may
be, spoke from tho same, platform. Dr.
Henry Van Dyke of Princeton, Henry
Watterson, George W. Cable, Booth
Tarkington, J. Plerpont Morgan, John
Luther Long and many others were
at the meeting, Hinder tho auspices of
the Academy of Arts and Letters.
'1 believe I can safely promise," Mr.
Howells said, "that the commemora
tion will not be formal or funereal.
Th* man himself could no more be
formalized than llame. * His vivid
genius ranged at will through all the
ways of life. Now that it Is freed to
the pathless amplitude of the skies, it
could hardly offer a pattern of con
ventional observation. We might im
agine him saying tonight.
•'Why, of course you must not make
a solemnity of it. I want you to be
serious about me—that is, sincere, and
you could not be sincere if you ran to
eulogy. But we don't object to affec
tion; we liko to be liked as well as
ever, and If any of you can remember
some creditable thing about me I
should not mind his telling it, pro
vided he did not blink at the palliat-
ing circumstances, the mitigating mo
tives, the selfish considerations that
always accompany every noble action.
At the same time I don't suppose a
commemoration is exactly the occa
sion for dwelling on a • man's short
comings in his life or his literature.*"
Joseph Choate recalled that Darwin
used to say he kept the remedies for
sleeplessness at the. head of his bod—
the Bible and "Innocents Abroad."
"And Darwin said he did not know
which he read the most."
Uncle Joe Camion told how Clemens
came to Washington in the interest of
the copyright lav. "He wrote, me a.
letter and brought, it to me in the
speaker's room." As read by Mr. Can
non, the letter ran:
."'Dear Uncle Joe: Please give me
the thanks of congress, not next week,
but right away. It is very necessary.
Do accomplish this at once, by per
suasion if you can, by violence if you
must, for it is absolutely necessary that
I get on the floor for two or throe
hours and talk to the congressmen,
man by man. I have arguments with
ma. Also a barrel with liquid in it. I
have stayed away from congress and
let It alone for seventy-one years and
I am entitled to its thanks. Congress
knows this well and it never has pub
licly acknowledged its appreciation.
Send me a reply at once with an order
on the sergeant-at-arms. With love
and benediction, Mark Twain."
Congressman Champ Clark of Mis
souri spoke of "Mark Twain as a Lob
byist." "On a memorable day," said
Clark, "Mark Twain descended upon
lie capltol in gorgeous attire and swept
everything before htm. In tho dead of
winter he wore a suit of white flannels,
whlta as the snow which filled the air.
"Ho created a profound sensation,
which was strictly utilitarian, and cun
ningly planned for effect upon hard
headed,, matter-of-fact solons. . The
subject of his lobbying was improve
ment in the copyright laws, which were
sadly en need of Improvement. As long
as he remained in the capltol it was al
most impossible to maintain a quorum
in the house, so eager were members to
form his acquaintance and listen to his
conversation. - All men and women, and
even little children in the street, vied
with one another to do him honor.
"The great-hearted Missourian en
joyed it to the limit. He talked with
perfect abandon on a multitude of sub
jects, and all the while he lobbied—
lobbied skillfully—lobbied in delightful
manner—lobbied with side-splitting
yarns—lobbied with philosophical re
marks— lobbied*with wealth of remin
iscence—lobbied with fetching • argu
ment for justice—and accomplished the
substance of what he .sought—a rich,
benefaction to American authors."

Mrs. Alice Clemshire, Who Made
Stir at Long Beach, Expires
Suddenly at Oakland
Deputy from Sheriff Hammel's
Office Going for Woman
When Death Interferes
Suffering keenly from the disgrace
of her arrest and knowing that a dep
uty from Sheriff Hammel's office was
on his way north to bring her back to
Los Angeles to stand trial on a crim
inal charge, Mrs. Alice C. Clemshire,
wife of a prominent. Oakland clubman,
dropped dead yesterday morning In the
Alameda county Jail. The woman was
well known both !n Los Angeles and
in Long Beach and is said to have vic
timized several firms In both cities. At
the time of her death she was dis
cussing her troubles with tho jail ma
tron. A physician, called to examine
her, _.__,., death due to heart dis
ease, but Mrs. Clemshire's friends in
the northern city say she died of
Mrs. Clemshire first attracted atten
tion in Long Beach several months
ago, when she took a suite of expen
sive apartments at Hotel Virginia. She
is said to have represented herself as
the possessor of millions and she lived
on a most extravagant scale. .To the
friends she made at the hotel she ex
plained that Charles M. Schwab had
been her business mentor and adviser
and said that he had made investments
for her which had proved tremendously
At one time Mrs. Clemshire told the
hotel management that Mr. Schwab
was coming to Long Beach with a
party of his friends and said he had
requested her to reserve apartments
for his use. She looked at several
suites and even fixed the date of the
steel magnate's arrival, but her story
proved to be a myth.
Mrs. Clemshire claimed also to be a
physician and is said to have given
treatments to several of the , hotel
guests. She paid her bills at the hotel
promptly and on several occasions ex
hibited considerable sums of money.
OIltL'S SUIT IS DROPPED
At the same time it was reported
that she had been sued for $50 by a
young woman residing in Los Angeles,
who explained that the money had
been paid by her on "Dr." Clemshire's
representation that I she could secure
for her client a good paying position in
the public service. The place was not
forthcoming, and when threats had no
avail a suit was begun, the action being
dismissed later. It is said, because the
money was repaid.
Mrs. Clemshire visited several real
estate firms in Long Beach and repre*
sented that she desired to purchase
property in that city on which to erect
a home, but her deals never reached a
final stage, the woman giving one ex
cuse after another for withdrawing
from her verbal contracts.
In Los Angeles, it is said, Bullock's
department store was victimized for
several hundred dollars' worth of mer
chandise, Mrs. Clemshire securing
credit through tales of her imaginary
wealth. It was this step that resulted
in her arrest and subsequent death, as
the store management secured a com
plaint against the woman, charging her
with obtaining goods under false pre
tenses. Meantime she had left the Vir
ginia suddenly, but she was traced to
Oakland and there arrested on a re
quest from Sheriff Hammel.
When the sheriff was notified of her
arrest he"at once 'sent Deputy Woods
north to bring her back to Los Angeles.
Oakland friends of the dead woman
say that she had become mentally de
ranged and declare she was not re
sponsible for her actions while in this
part of the state.

supreme judges. When Winsor moved
to cut the superior judges' salaries In
Maricopa, Cochise,- Pima, Yavapai and
Gila counties to $4100 and all others to
$3000 the convention was thrown into
an uproar. Most of the attorneys op
posed the reduction on the ground that
efficient judges could not be obtained
at those salaries.
Kingan made strenuous opposition.
He wanted to know if any members
wanted a competent judge or a black
smith to pass on their rights. Ho was
answered by cries of "blacksmith."
Coalter of Apache county asked what
become of all "blacksmiths" who had
been on the Arizona bench heretofore.
Kingan's speech ended abruptly. The
reduction was finally effected by a vote
of 31 to 16. The judiciary measure was
then adopted as amended.
The executive measure came up next
and was adopted, 42 to 8, after an
amendment was carried to reduce the
governor's salary $5000 to $4000 and tbe
secretary's from $4000 to $3000.
The third reading of the legislative
department measure caused even more
debate than that of the judiciary, del

Mr. Arthur has taken the art, culture, and advancements of our world, shared them with this new frequency, and convinced the creatures around him that he's a genius.

Editorial: Carving special memories in summer ice
Published 8:56 pm, Thursday, July 24, 2014
In a space where we are accustomed to blowing off steam about the state of the world, it is occasionally worth pausing to freeze those moments in time that provide uplifting news.
If you're not a hockey fan, it may be easy to dismiss just how special the Big Assist charity ice hockey game really is. There are, after all, plenty of sports-themed fund-raisers in these parts. Once in a while it's a celebrity softball game or a tennis match. Every now and then there's a three-on-three basketball tournament. There seems to be a golf event every few days each summer, which is understandable given the number of courses in Fairfield County. Polo matches, of course, fall into the only-in-Greenwich category.
None of these events, though, unite fan, athlete and cause quite as seamlessly as the Big Assist, which was held for the sixth time before a capacity crowd at Terry Conners Rink in Stamford Wednesday. Non-fans commonly, and unfairly, dismiss the sport as a bunch of thugs on skates. Real fans -- and there are plenty of them in lower Fairfield County -- understand the true grace of the game, and the hearts of the athletes.
While other events put a star or two on display, the athletes mingle with young fans at the Big Assist. The game itself is an exhibition between players from the NHL, AHL, overseas and college teams that was organized by Darien native Ryan Shannon, currently of the Zurich Lions in the Swiss National League, and formerly of the NHL teams the Anaheim Ducks (where he was part of the squad that won the Stanley Cup in 2007), the Vancouver Canucks, the Ottawa Senators and the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The tournament benefits the Obie Harrington-Howes Foundation, named for Shannon's youth hockey coach in Darien, who suffered a spinal cord injury. The funds that are raised pay for items such as vans, special beds, wheelchairs and home renovations to help spinal cord injury victims.
Shannon, 31, never returns home alone. This year, he brought along NHL players such as Matt Moulson of the Buffalo Sabres; New York Rangers Martin St. Louis and Ryan Haggerty; Toronto Maple Leafs James Van Riemsdyk and Colton Orr and Greenwich native Cam Atkinson of the Columbus Blue Jackets.
This could easily have been a one-time stunt event never to be duplicated. Shannon and Co. deserve credit for returning year after year to break the ice with fans.

Russia hopes that Lebanon's upcoming presidential election will be a strictly internal process unconstrained by regional or international factors, the country's envoy to Lebanon said Wednesday.Zasypkin said Russia's relationship with Lebanon was deep and would not be undermined by his country's position on the crisis in Syria. Russia backs Bashar Assad's embattled regime and has vetoed U.N. Security Council resolutions aimed at punishing his government. Zasypkin said that Russia had extensive experience in developing oil fields, but investment in the Mediterranean basin's oil reserves was dependent on the interest of Russian companies.Zasypkin said that Russia encourages continuous dialogue in Lebanon in order to overcome various obstacles.Zasypkin also said Russia was committed to combating terrorism and religious extremism.Zasypkin also defended Russia's decision to annex the Crimean peninsula.

Did anyone manage to take any photos of bicycles parked outside of Noisebridge last night during the party?

We need a good photo with lots of bikes parked outside of Noisebridge so that we can apply for a bike corral (which will replace a car parking space with 12 bicycle parking spaces).

(We already have some really good photos of lots of bikes parked inside of Noisebridge.)

Learn about Gordon College financial aid calculator, and registering for elective discussion sections and seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. Consult with an academic advisor, to ensure that your chosen classes constitute a full-time course load, and fulfills major requirements. Finally, check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Gordon College financial aid applications information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Gordon College.
The first step in applying for financial aid is completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which must be redone every year that you're seeking financial assistance. Within a few weeks, the US Department of Education will send you a Student Aid Report (SAR), which is a summary of the FAFSA data you submitted. Further, the financial aid office at the schools you're applying to will use your information to calculate your financial aid package, and will send you an award letter, detailing the amount of financial assistance that you're eligible for.
Please note that you are responsible for repaying all of your student loans with interest. If you are unable to make timely payments on your outstanding student loans, you must contact the loan office to make arrangements in order to keep your loan in good standing. In the worst case scenario, if you end up with a federal student loan in default, up to 15% of your disposable income may be appropriated by wage garnishment. It's not just your credit rating that may suffer, as new laws have increased the penalties for failing to repay financial obligations. Beyond degree requirements such as Gordon College federal student aid, you may consider Paris Junior College preparation for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

A reflection by Sarah
Of all conversations Lindsey and I engage in, some of the most interesting have been with people who are curious to know how we would talk with teenagers about celibate vocations. Parents and catechists in our own Christian tradition and others have reached out to ask us for input on discussing celibacy in church school and youth group contexts. A variety of other people have contacted us to express concern that because Lindsey and I are a celibate LGBT couple, we must be promoting a message that is toxic to teenagers, especially those who are or might be LGBT. On occasion we've been told, "I have to oppose what you're doing at A Queer Calling because gay adults' talking about celibacy leads LGBT youth to suicide." Though I'll admit upfront that I find this claim ridiculous, I can understand why readers are interested to know how Lindsey and I would talk about vocation with a group of teens if we had the opportunity for such a conversation. (By the way, up to this point such an opportunity has not arisen for us.) Sometimes readers also inform us that they are displeased with the way other celibate LGBT adults talk about celibacy with teenagers. My advice for dealing with this concern is that it's best to address it with the person/people in question rather than holding us responsible for counsel offered by someone else.
Because we've been getting related queries more often in recent weeks, I'm reflecting on this topic today instead of posting one of our usual Saturday Symposium questions. For my part, I wish that teenage Sarah had known more adults who were willing to have no-holds-barred discussions of marriage, celibacy, and vocation with young people. I would have benefited immensely from this, and I see the absence of such conversation as a deficiency in my adolescent faith formation. In this post, I offer a list of things I wish someone would have told me about celibacy and vocation during my teen years. This list would be my starting point, should I ever be asked to give a talk to a church school or youth group.
Celibacy is not just for Catholic/Orthodox monastics and Catholic priests. There are lay people living in the world as celibates, and they are present in virtually every local community. Most of them have never had the opportunity to share their stories, and some would be delighted to talk with you about their lives. As you are coming into adulthood, you'll develop a broader appreciation of what it means to be an adult in the Christian tradition if you engage in conversation with people living into different vocations. During middle school, high school, and college, challenge yourself to learn from the adults who are unmarried and unattached to monastic communities as well as those who are. As you do this, you will come to see that marriage is not the only way a person can participate fully in the life of the Church.
Celibacy is a vocation. Or depending upon how you look at it, we might also say that celibacy can be part of a vocation. Celibacy is not a punishment, mandate, or death sentence. It is a mature, adult way of life that enables people to manifest and participate in the Kingdom of God. This is also true of marriage. Just as there's a lot more to marriage than having a spouse and welcoming children, there's more to celibacy than sexual abstinence. If you are considering a celibate vocation, it is unhealthy and limiting to think of your purpose in life as "not having sex." At fifteen, it's tough to imagine what celibacy could possibly be if it's not just about avoiding sex. That's why it's very important to get to know adults living celibate vocations. Exploring what it means to live a celibate vocation will enrich your understanding of the Christian tradition, even if once you reach adulthood you discern that God is calling you to marriage.
Celibacy can be a gift, but God sometimes calls people to do things for which they are not specially gifted or well equipped. Just like the vocation to marriage, a celibate vocation will involve joys as well as sorrows. You might have the gift of celibacy, or you might not. You may have a strong sense of this right now, or you may need to spend the next few years thinking about it. But you don't have to figure that out right now, and it should not be the sole determining factor for answering the question, "How is God calling me to spend my life?" The key word in all of this is not gift — it's calling. In the course of your lifetime, it's likely that God will call you to at least one thing for which you do not feel prepared. That could be a career you never imagined yourself pursuing, missionary work in a faraway place that seems frightening, or friendship with a person who is struggling with a problem you have never experienced. If God calls you to parenthood, you may never sense that you are specially gifted as a mother or father. Jonah in the Old Testament was neither equipped nor eager when God commanded him to prophesy against Nineveh. Do not dismiss the possibility that the same can be true (and often is true) of those God calls to celibacy. I know a large number of celibate people in a variety of vocational contexts, and very few of them would say that their celibacy comes from a special gift. Some people may tell you that unless you know in your heart that God has given you the "gift of celibacy," you should not consider pursuing a celibate vocation. These same people will probably never be able to give you a straight answer as to how you would know if you have this gift or not. Focusing on the gift of celibacy can be a distraction, especially if you grow up and do not sense giftedness toward any particular vocation. Think instead about "God's calling to celibacy" and "God's calling to marriage," and find a compassionate spiritual director to help you ponder how God might be asking you to spend your life.
Celibacy and purity are not the same. Western Christianity, particularly in America, has come to emphasize purity so strongly that the practice of celibacy as lost its meaning in some traditions. While making morally sound decisions regarding sex is an important part of the Christian life, God knows that humans don't do morality perfectly. If you have been or are currently sexually active, that does not make you unfit or ineligible for living a celibate vocation. If another person has sinned against you sexually, if you have been abused, assaulted, or raped, you are not at fault. You are not responsible for the sins others have committed against you. No matter what you have done and no matter what others have done to you, you are not a half-eaten candy bar, a wad of chewed gum, or a piece of tape that has lost its stickiness. Anyone who tells you such things is misleading you. Living fully into any vocation is a goal, not a lifelong state of perfection. Separate celibacy and purity in your mind right now. Committing a sin or being sinned against does not taint your body and soul for life. Living perfectly in accordance with conservative American purity standards from cradle to grave is not a requirement for answering God's call to a celibate vocation.
Celibacy does not mean denying or repressing your sexuality, and God may be calling you to celibacy even if you find the idea of "having sex" appealing. Celibate people have sex drives just like married people. Most people who are called to celibacy do find the idea of sex appealing and often experience the desire for sex. While asexuality is real, the vast majority of celibates are not asexual. Celibacy is not a miserable state of getting through each day while trying every tip and trick possible to quiet unsatisfied sexual desire. If God is calling you to celibacy, the only way to live into that sustainably is to accept yourself as a sexual person (unless you are asexual, in which case accepting one's asexuality would also be central to living celibacy sustainably). Where you are in life right now, it's probably difficult to understand that it's possible for a celibate person to integrate rather than excise his or her sexuality. This integration begins with honesty and open conversations. Depending upon your situation, it may also require learning to let go of shame.
Coming to understand and accept your sexual orientation might play into your vocational discernment process. Or it might not. For some people, discerning God's call to marriage or to celibacy is primarily about the question, "To which type of vocation am I better suited?" For others, it's about a deep sense of call that has been present from childhood onward. Still for others, the desire (or lack of desire) for a spouse and children is a starting point. There are probably as many possible motivators for considering celibacy and marriage as there are people discerning. Amongst many people across the sexual ethics ideological spectrum, the idea that sexual orientation could be a primary factor in vocational discernment is unpopular and sometimes met with hostility. You might be told by one person that if sexual orientation plays any role in your discernment process, you are engaging in self-loathing. You may hear from others that sexual orientation does not actually exist, and that people who "struggle with same-sex attraction" should work hard to prepare themselves for opposite-sex marriages. Avoid internalizing these messages and instead focus on asking God, "What are you calling me to do? How will I know what you are calling me to do?" Be open to the possibility that your sexual orientation could play a role in how you approach those questions. I'm not here to tell you that it necessarily should or must, but for some people it does and there's nothing wrong with that.
In the spirit of our Saturday Symposium questions, I'm going to end this post by inviting our readers to reflect on the following: what do you wish an adult had told you about celibacy and vocation when you were a teenager? How would you use what you know now to help today's tweens, teens, and young adults navigate difficult questions of sexuality and vocation? I look forward to reading your thoughts in the comments.

Top 10 Games to Play with the
By Dakota Grabowski
Spend Valentine's Day Playing
Games With Your Loved One
Don't want to get dragged to the
theatres this weekend see Dear John or Valentine's Day? Would you rather sit
indoors and play video games? Well, here are 10 games to convince your
girlfriend, wife or loved one to sit at home and fumble with your joysticks.
10 – Mario Kart Wii
Platform(s): Nintendo Wii
Full Review – 8.8
Per industry standards, Mario Kart
Wii once again appeals to casual gamers. It's a lovely title to pick your
favorite Mario character and race against your wife or girlfriend. She'll
receive an incredible amount of joy when she flies by you after using a POW
block that sent you spinning out of control. Plus, she now can use her own Mii
or select Baby Peach – or if she's on the dangerous side, select Baby Daisy –
for her character.
9 – Resident Evil 5
Platform(s): Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC
Full Review – 8.5
Taking control of the dreamy Chris
Redfield or gorgeous Sheva Alomar, Resident Evil 5 is a cooperative dream for
guys to introduce to their loved one. Our recommendation would be to play this
one in the dark so she has to sit extra close to you in case of any terrifying
moments. Just be sure to let her have the extra ammunition or else she won't
have any fun with unloaded guns.
8 – Halo 3
Platform(s): Xbox 360
Full Review – 9.7
To receive the maximum amount of
pleasure out of Halo 3, when, of course, you are playing with your loved one,
jump into a social match and let her have free reign to run around and do as she
pleases. To ante up the fun factor, invite a dozen or so of your friends into
the social match and let your loved one talk trash over the headset as she
aimlessly drives a warthog around the map.
7 – Trauma Center: New Blood
Platform(s): Nintendo Wii
Full Review – 8.6
Has your girlfriend or wife ever
wanted to save someone's life? Well Trauma Center: New Blood puts them behind
the scalpel as a surgeon to save the lives of people in Alaska. Hokey and
brilliantly told through anime-style cut scenes, you should prepare her for the
video-game form of a soap opera.
6 – Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Platform(s): Nintendo Wii
Full Review – 9.5
Whether it's Kirby, Jigglypuff,
Olimar, Yoshi or Zelda/Sheik, there's a plethora of characters that should be
tremendously appealing to use for your loved one to play along. Besides fighting
against one another, SSBB includes a cooperative mode titled the The Subspace
Emissary – so no longer will you have to play at half-speed to allow your loved
one to remain competitive.
5 – Bomberman Live
Platform(s): Xbox 360
Full Review – 8.5
Cute and charming, Bomberman Live is
among the best multiplayer games on the Xbox Live Arcade. Having a variety of
game modes to pick from such as the GameZone favorite, Paint Bomb, to the
ability to dress up your own Bomberman character with headwear and clothes,
Bomberman Live offers repeat visits.
4 – New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Platform(s): Nintendo Wii
Full Review – 8.5
While it could turn out to be a
frustrating experience, New Super Mario Bros. Wii is the best multiplayer title
on the Nintendo Wii when it comes to cooperative gameplay with your female
companion. She may fall to her death more often than not and accidentally steal
all the power-ups, but if it's true that love conquers all, then forgiveness
shouldn't be too far behind.
3 – Rock Band 2
Platform(s): PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, Nintendo Wii
Full Review – 9.1
Want to listen to music that she
normally refuses to listen to? Well, put it on the set list in Rock Band 2 and
have it "randomly" come up while you both rock out in Rock Band 2. Rock Band 2
is a simple game to pick up and learn, so this is an easy recommendation to
every couple. If she doesn't like the plastic accessories, then throw her the
microphone and let her sing her heart out to "Just a Girl" by No Doubt. Before
you know it, she'll be inviting her friends over for all night Rock Band 2
2 – Castle Crashers
Platform(s): Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 (2010 release)
Full Review – 9.5
Having more than 24 charming
playable characters, Castle Crashers is an absolute delight to play with your
girlfriend or wife. It's straightforward and simple to understand – move forward
and strike down everything in your way. In addition, Castle Crashers employs
dozens of cute animal orbs to collect and use within the game. By the end of the
first level, she should be hooked and may end up playing the title when you
aren't home.
1 – LittleBigPlanet
Platform(s): PlayStation 3
Full Review – 9.7
The best way to say "I love you" in
video-game terms is to play LittleBigPlanet with your wife or girlfriend. If you
looked up the word adorable in the dictionary, a picture of Sackboy,
LittleBigPlanet's mascot character, would be there. LittleBigPlanet redefines
the platforming genre and allows her to stretch her imagination with the
numerous amounts of customization options. Play LittleBigPlanet on
Valentine's Day. Create a multitude of new memories will never be
forgotten. And, Share the passion of gaming with your loved one as she
savors every moment spent playing Sony's LittleBigPlanet.
Well there you have it; these 10
games should perk the interest of your girlfriend or wife in no time. Before you
go ahead and think that any ole' game will do, here are five games you shouldn't
be playing with your loved one.
Five Games To Not
Play With Your Girlfriend or Wife

CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE — It was relief, but definitely the good kind. Catherine Ellis and Kent Denver had to look inside themselves to see what they had on a damp and raw Tuesday late afternoon and early evening to finally hold off a stubborn Arapahoe 15-14.
"They really made us work," Ellis said of the Warriors afterward at Justin DeSorrento Memorial Field. "They wouldn't go away."
The Sun Devils, in keeping the top perch in The Denver Post coaches poll and moving to 3-0 in their first game since returning from spring break, successfully killed the game's final 1 minute, 46 seconds after Arapahoe's Britt Klosterman had made it a one-goal game.
Kent Denver won a key draw, spread the attack zone, weaved and kept possession to secure its victory, one in which it threatened to blow out the Warriors by halftime, then found itself in a fight and on the wrong side of a momentum shift.
"I think we really came in high after the first half," Ellis said of a 10-4 lead. "And that helped them get back into it."
The Warriors (1-2), who led 4-2 in the opening minutes before faring poorly in draws and getting caught flat-footed on defense in surrendering eight consecutive scores, then rallied behind the speedy and skilled Kate Englert. She paced a surge that twice brought Arapahoe within two scores, then one with a chance to at least forge a tie.
"We had some adversity to overcome, we couldn't put them away and (Englert) really came on," second-year Sun Devils coach Chris Frederick said. "They're a good team, they have a good defense and made some things difficult for us."
A fair amount also occurred early, when Warriors goalie Brooke Engel was sharp and made a half-dozen saves. However, Kent Denver started to rely on Ellis, Abigail Godfrey, Caroline Schlegel and Chloe Dikeou to stay in command.
"After I had that run of a few (four goals and three assists in the first half), I think they knew I would go, but it allowed me to share the ball with my teammates," said Ellis, who will play next season at Cornell.
Said Frederickson: "Catherine's amazing. Catherine's ridiculous. A player like her comes around once every so often. … (Englert) stood up and took their team on her shoulders. Fortunately, we won just enough draws and were able to stall it out in the end. We literally just went over stalling the day before."
All told, Ellis finished with five goals (she has 17 this season) and four assists. Godfrey scored three times, and Dikeou, Annie Duke and Schlegel added two each. Englert matched Ellis with five goals. Alexy DeHarb and Klosterman each added three.

I realize I shared my love of the new L'Oreal Colour Riche Caresse Lipstick in a recent review but I hauled a few more shades so I thought I'd do some more swatches and a little follow up post about these.
A reader recently mentioned hauling Cotton Candy Pink (believe that's the shade name) and didn't like the formula at all. I personally loved all the shades I tried so I was surprised. But actually, she's right, the consistency on some of the shades is a bit different and I ran into issues with Blushing Sequin as it wasn't as lovely as other shades I owned and loved.
Take a look!

Dear Ignoramus,<quoted text>
Ok now I will ask the very first yet unanswered question once again.
Post your irrevocable evidence for evolution, if I am so ignorant post it here to educate me, no one else has even tried even though I have asked the best the evolution tag team can offer.
Surely you know the difference between evidence and proof, the extensive evidence in support of both fact and theory of evolution comes primarily from studies of the fossil record, molecular sequences, and comparative anatomy. I can't really say there is one "best" piece of evidence for evolution. There are many, many different lines of evidence, and each of them fits together to make an entire picture. But if you had to hold me down with a hot poker, I'd say that the most powerful evidence is the homology of form and DNA shown not only in adult organisms, but in their developing embryos, which pass through more similar stages the more closely related they are. You can read more about this here:

|ASUS F1A75-M PRO FM1 Motherboard
|Reviews - Featured Reviews: Motherboards
|Written by Hank Tolman
|Monday, 11 July 2011
Page 1 of 16
ASUS F1A75-M Pro Motherboard Review
Manufacturer: ASUSTek
Full Disclosure: The product sample used in this article has been provided by ASUS.
With the launch of every new motherboard platform, we expect to see a number of different designs from the major motherboard manufacturers. ASU, of course, was ready for the AMD Lynx platform launch with their own set of A55 and A75 socket FM1 motherboards. Here at Benchmark Reviews we used the ASUS F1A75-M Pro motherboard to test the new platform and the all new AMD desktop APU, the A8-3850. In this article, Benchmark Reviews is exploring the motherboard itself, bringing you all the details of the ASUS F1A75-M Pro socket FM1 motherboard.
The socket FM1 represents a new direction for AMD. Their generational line of motherboards and CPUs will continue with the 990FX platform and bulldozer CPUs that will extend from current 6-core offerings up to 8-core CPUs. But the shining achievement of AMD's last five years of work since they acquired ATI is the Accelerated Processing Unit paired with the A55 and A75 platforms known as Lynx, Llano for desktops. The APU, much like Intel's Sandy Bridge, combines the power of the CPU, GPU, and Northbridge all onto a single die. With the power of the ATI Radeon graphics at its command, however, AMD has the ability to bring a much higher level of graphics to the mix. The AMD A8-3850 APU that we reviewed earlier comes paired with the Radeon HD 6650D GPU which provides a lot more video power than the competing Intel HD Graphics and even supports DirectX 11.
That's all great news, but the A8-3850 APU is useless without a good motherboard to put it in. All the normal partners were there for the launch of the A55 and A75 chipsets. We got our hands on the F1A75-M Pro from ASUS, who traditionally puts a lot of extra features and designs into their motherboards. ASUS has included a lot of the designs from their recent motherboard implementations into the F1A75-M Pro motherboard, including their Dual Intelligent Processors II and their uEFI that has replaced the BIOS. One of the best parts of the new uEFI is the ability to capture screenshots. We have some pictures of the new uEFI for you here. Other features of the F1A75-M Pro include the digitally controlled DIGI+ VRM and plenty of SATA 6Gb/s and USB 3.0 ports.
When Intel launched the Sandy Bridge, they began with two platforms. The H67-Express platform included a few less features and provided the use of the on-die graphics. The P67-Express platform gave limited ability to overclock and catered more towards gamers or enthusiasts. With the launch of the Fusion platforms for desktop, AMD has done something similar, yet completely different at the same time. The two platforms released by AMD are the A55 and the A75. The difference between the Fusion launch and the Sandy Bridge launch is that AMD's two platforms are almost exactly the same. There are a few difference, which we will explore later in this article, but it does seem a little odd to me that the two are so similar.
So, without further ado, let's delve into a more comprehensive look at the new platform and ASUS' F1A75-M Pro socket FM1 Fusion motherboard.
How is that a con ?
Their inclusion adds functionality. It may be a function you have no need for , but it is there.
HDMI, DVI + D-Sub.... your logic... I dont need HDMI or DVI so it is a con that they have those ports.
That makes no sense at all.
The funny thing is, almost no one uses CRT monitors anymore and LCD monitors are inherently digital. If you have an old VGA LCD then you are losing twice since you signal has to be converted to analog to go through the cable, then back to digital to be read by your monitor.
If you see it as a Pro, then good for you. I see it as a con. That's just my opinion.
Thanks for review, I found it very informative.
PS--Don't feed the trolls.
Passmark 7.0, where it's second place only to the i5.
PCMark Vantage Music test, where the score is extremely low.
Either there's an error in the graphs, or these results should be investigated.
As for the CPU tests in Passmark 7.0, those are correct too. It might have a lot to do with the fact that the "northbridge" was moved onto the die so communication between the CPU and other parts of the system is dramatically increased. Check out the Cinebench results, too. You have a 2.9GHz CPU that is very close to the same performance as a 3.2GHz CPU. A lot has changed with the architecture and different tests will respond in different ways to those changes.
Nice review. And one question i can't understand here, on z68 and so on:
if 1st PCIE is x16 and 2nd is x4, with XFire and 2 dedicated video boards, it will work in x8/x8? or only in x16/x4? that means no AFR like?
Thanks a lot in advance for anyone's answer.
I was wondering wether the F1A75-M PRO is a MB that you would personally buy for its value? Would you recommend any other MB's for around the same price, for I am in a jolly of a pickle in choosing the optimal MB. I would be using it for video processing, video games, and etc.
Thanks in advance,
1st of all, take my advice w/ a grain of salt. My pov could be biased, or at least not entirely fitting your needs.
my 1st choise is usually Asus, no matter is AMD or Intel. but i do respect Gigabyte, MSI, EVGA and i do believe AsRock is a good value.
Remember, in entry/main level big brands usually will charge u extra just for the brand. I mean in entry/main u DO have alternatives. otherwise, the MB is ok, BUT:
before, a little philosophy about video boards (GPU). i always pick a MB w/ BOTH SLI and XFire. cause never now when i'll switch between NVidia and AMD-ATI and which will be my pick in dual GPU boards. But with those new CPU w/ integrated video, philosophy may change a little. if its AMD CPU, we should go AMD GPU. the video in 3850 amd cpu it's way more powerful than intel i3, even i5 competition. but the CPU is below i3 2100 a little. not much. anyway your MB of choice despite it has 2 pcie slots, it will work in x16/x4 mode only AFAIK! so 2 discrete AMD board, even XFire scale better than SLI, will not be a perfect choise if u plan, i repeat, to go w/ 2 discrete graphic boards. but if u don't the MB u've picked is OK. but the
F1A75-V EVO will work on x8/x8.
this whole GPU discussion it's about hardcore gaming (let's say metro2033) at big resolutions. Today a top/near top AMD GPU will handle with no problem but in a year or some, maybe u,ll need more power and the future proof solution is to get yourself a 2nd GPU and bam! u're "safe" for another 1-2 year.
!!! if u planned this way BUY A GOOD PSU, at least 750W. never underestimate the PSU!!!
If it's A, the processor should be fine, I mean the biggest, A8-3850, and u'll have to invest more in RAM (8G at least) and in powerfull HDD's: use RAID 0 with 2 HDD FULL 7200, not GREEN. i' working with Velocyraptors and older Raptors (all 10 000 RPM). if u have enough money, go SSD, BUT, u should pick powerfull and big ones which cost u a lot. A good solution COULD be Hybrid SSD-HDD new harddiscs, but i didn't dig enough to recommend this. Anyway, for video editing u should work in a RAID 0 config with 2 HDDs.
if it's B, video rendering, IMO the processor it's on the limit, i rather go if AMD with a 6 core proc (likeX6 1100T) skt AM3+. or intel starting on i5-2400.
in amd variant u'll not have integrated video in CPU, but u have to decide what fits your needs.
So your MB choise is very decent for the money, just be sure 'll use just one discrete GPU.
Both series from intel i3 and amd A IMO are for laptops and decent desktops. but that's all. told u in he beginnig i'm a little biased towards hardcore games and video editing. And in high end the choice is, unfortunately, only one.
It's hard to recommend, in the end the amount of $ make the difference. and the needs. and the management, and little things, and so on :)
And i don't pretend my pow is perfect. no way. Everyone feel free to upgrade it.
Good luck
If you are using this for high-end gaming or video processing, you should probably go with a completely different setup. The A series processors aren't meant for high end performance. They compete with the i3s. I'd go with a H67 for price and an i5 and a good discrete GPU for better performance, unless Bulldozer comes out soon and we can see how they perform.
10x Hank for forming me that MB's like that are ONLY x16/x4 and NOT x8/x8 too. for a vast majority of user it's ok. for me is BS.
Back to your toughs about Mozyz rig: as i saw, he hasn't enough money and my assumption is that he's only on the beginning on the road in video editing (escuse if wrong, but let's say a few cuts and transitons + a titler for youtube). and maybe medium gamer and so on. So, my philosopy was just don't go top of the top when u don't know the differences and just testing the path. Otherwise, i just made a config for a friend, video editor but with no much $ to spend: yes, it starts with i5.
nice day.
Try DVI/HDMI Cable. It works but powerdvd downscale about 10%, totalmedia theater 5 work find but no sound in few ISO.
Any one try 3D bluray playback with HDMI 1.4 in this motherboard?
Windows7 64bit/Asus F1A75-M pro/AMD 3650
Well after attempting to use 3 different Videos cards, 2 PCIe(both ATI and nVidia) and 1 PCI(both ATI and nVidia), I have found out that this Motherboard does not support Dual Video in anyway in the Linux Environment which is very strange as I have been using Linux for years and have never had a Motherboard that did not support multiple Video Cards as poorly as this board has.
The video Cards work beautifully on several different Motherboards such as BioStar, Gigabyte, and MSI, but the F1A75-M-PRO R2.0 does not support using a single PCIe & Integrated Graphics, nor PCI & Integrated Graphics, nor does it support PCIe & PCI together.
This is the worst motherboard I have ever purchased and such a waste of money that I cannot believe in this day and age of 2013 that it does not support the use of Dual Video Cards unless you are running Windows. This in IMOP is BS and inexcusable for a Company that is trying to pull Market Share and win customers they will never get me to waste my money ever again and I will be requesting a FULL Refund of the money spent on the POS Motherboard.
And yes I have double checked the BIOS to ensure that all settings are correct. I will from now on wait to have Motherboards shipped to me from those companies that have Motherboards that work as described as again its 2013 and this board doesn't have the ability to allow Dual Graphics in anything other than Windows.... WOW what a crock.
