OK... first off.. hats off to the ppl who created this marvel !!
second of all, love you flipkart !! got this product within 2 days of placing the order!!
The graphics that come with this console aren't at par with the one's in ps3 and xbox.. but the gameplay in itself beats all!! don't forget to get your hands on the following things after you've purchased wii console -->
1.) 2 GB SD card (helps in storing game saves)
2.) an extra pair of nunchuk and wii remote ( for multi player games)
3.) rechargable batteries and its charger.. (the wii remote consumes a lot of charge so its wise to... (Expand)
Got this console on 6th of august and all memories of my childhood became fresh.wii sports provided with console with motion sensing is incredible.I further ordered super mario galaxy and this is amazing.As i would have liked, nintendo games are neither very easy nor very tough like ps2 games. I love them for their simplicity,innovation and artistic value.I urge every gamer to try this console just once.cann't wait for mario bros wii, ordering it next.
Fantastic console! Haven't got this as yet, it is to be my New Year's gift. But I played it at my friend's house, and boy! such a wonderful thing it is, I can't tell you. I thought the graphics would be like the Nintendo 64, but this is a HUGE improvement. But, other than the pros, there are cons too. Like, you have to stand at least 3 feet away from the motion sensor. Otherwise it won't detect your moves. And, whenever, say, you take your Wii Remote to your friend's house to play on his console, you have to open the SD slot and make the Wii detect your remote. And the graphics aren't as go... (Expand)
Awesome, Ilove playing on this. Forget PS-2, PS-3, Xbox buy this. It will change the way you look at games and play games. its so lovely. Its a bit expensive in India, but thanks to Flipkart the price is coming down, though still double the price than in USA, where it is retailing for 150 dolars thats 7500 rupees only. But still its worth every money.
Also, buy 2 remotes and nunchuck atleast Nyko Induction Charger Portable harddisk 2GB SD Card for proper use.
This is a awesome console for all

RealPlayer resurfaces as RealPlayer Cloud video transfer/conversion service. And it seems to work fine.
RealPlayer resurfaces as RealPlayer Cloud video transfer/conversion service. And it seems to work fine.
I had kind of forgotten that RealNetworks was still alive until recently seeing their name on a building next to Seattle's Safeco Field. Now I have another reminder: the release tonight of RealPlayer Cloud (https://cloud.real.com), a free site that connects to iOS, Android and Roku apps. The idea is to fix the incompatibility issues that stop iOS users from viewing Android videos and vice versa (http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/columnist/2013/03/10/ipad-quicktime-outlook-android/1971533/). Upload a clip--drag it into the Cloud page in your Mac or PC's browser, or through Real's iOS or Android apps--and Cloud transcodes it to be playable in a browser, in those apps and in Real's new Roku channel. You get 2 GB of free storage, with uploads capped at 15 minutes each. Cloud's site and iOS, Android and Roku apps worked as advertised when I tried them tonight. What I don't know: Will the recycled RealPlayer moniker hold back a service unrelated to many people's least-favorite video plug-in?

Julie Gardziola
"I have been excited about the opportunity to join the board since approached. I have had a fond interest in theatre since 2002, when I attended a GNMAA luncheon where David Schwimmer spoke to the group about the values, visions, and community outreach Lookingglass prides themselves on. I was touched by the comments he made in reference to the theatrical environment in Chicago and the stepping stone that Lookingglass was striving to be.
"I come from a family of teachers of all sorts and appreciate the efforts needed to support and nurture a person's growth; my uncle writes and directs children's plays, is an actor and director of a children's theatre in Iowa; his wife is also an actress and drama teacher; I have witnessed the confidence and creativity they instill in children and adults through acting, collaborating, and communicating, and find it to be very inspiring.
"Combining my feelings on the opportunities the theatre brings to people and my deep rooted pride for Chicago, I am thrilled to have this opportunity. I have attended shows at the theatre, though I have not been involved with any efforts or support in the past other than recommending Lookingglass to friends, family, and professional contacts, I look forward to having consistent interaction with the theatre and its teams. I am confident my involvement on a personal and professional level will add a different perspective to increasing community awareness, strengthening partnerships and increasing support."

"I have been to many Chicagoland Theatre Company productions including Court, Steppenwolf, The Goodman, Chicago Shakespeare, Second City, Circle Theatre, Teatro Vista, Chicago Fusion (Producer, Development, Finance), Teatro Luna (Finance, Development), American Theatre Company, just to name a few. I always heard of the Lookingglass Theatre Company but I never had a chance to attend a production until I went to go see Lookingglass Alice. I was drawn to the production given it was something different re–telling a very familiar story but with a very different spin. I enjoyed the show so much I went three more times bringing family members and friends when they visited Chicago.
"Given how much I enjoyed Lookingglass Alice I began to do more research on Lookingglass and learned that a very good colleague of mine Ed Filer was on the Board of Directors and saw that in addition to great productions Lookingglass is a true member of the community as it supports the community in various ways. Many theatres do just enough to say they support the community that supports them but Lookingglass' programs seem to be a little more comprehensive and numerous."

PLAYERS: Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch, Andy Reid, Matt Flynn
TEAMS: Seattle Seahawks, Atlanta Falcons, Washington Redskins, Philadelphia Eagles, Arizona Cardinals
TEAMS: Seattle Seahawks, Atlanta Falcons, Washington Redskins, Philadelphia Eagles, Arizona Cardinals
Too little, too late A heart-wrenching defeat in the closing seconds of the divisional round playoff matchup against the Atlanta Falcons doesn't quite make me want to do any reflecting this week. But, as it is my job to do so, I will bring you my final Seattle Seahawks week that was piece for the 2012 NFL football season. This year had its share of wonderful memories, and also brought the promise even more wonderful things to come with this franchise. The biggest question now will be if we get to retain our offensive and defensive coordinators, as they both are being coveted by other teams in the league. So, without further adieu, I bring you my top 10! 10: Another slow start In my pregame piece, the biggest point I made for a Seahawks victory was not falling behind early. The team of destiny will have to wait until 2013. Well, we did, and even in the impossible comeback, still fell short. Had we not given up even one score to the Falcons early, it would be us traveling to SF next week for the NFC Championship game. 9: Should we have attempted the FG? With the clock stopped, and barely any time left, the Seahawks flirted with going for the field goal with the ball at the 50. Instead, they went with the old bread and butter, the Hail Mary. Maybe trying to recreate a little magic a la the Green Bay Monday Night Football game from earlier this year. Statistics show that game ending Hail Mary passes do not go in the favor of the offense, so why not, when there is nothing else to lose, go for the long field goal? That is a question that will never be answered. 8: Falcons proved to be too much As it was the Seahawks turn to be outplayed for three quarters this week, the high powered offense, and tougher than usual Falcons defense was just too much to overcome. Yes, we did pull off the comeback and overcome a 20 point deficit in the 4th quarter to take the lead, but once again, the slow start just killed us. I was proud of our boys for not giving up, and keeping in the game until the very end, but it makes you wonder how different it could have been with at least one more stop defensively. 7: Birds of prey There still hasn't been a team in the NFC that has caused as much uproar as the Seahawks did this season. From the above mentioned MNF game, to the three game point total, to Russell Wilson's record breaking first half performance, to the 20 point deficit this week, to the outspoken DB's, or even the 24 unanswered points against ROY RGIII's Washington Redskins last week. If the nation's press wasn't ready for it this year, watch out, because this team is one that is going be around for a while, and in the face of all the media from coast to coast. 6: Marhsawn a no-show Okay, that may be a little harsh, but, we don't win ball games when Marshawn Lynch isn't on his A game. Lynch finished behind Wilson with only 46 yards on 16 carries. Sure, his carries were a little shy of what he is used to getting, but since we fell behind early, Wilson was having to throw the ball more. Lynch did break the plane for a score though, which helped cap the comeback. 5: Gus bolting for Philly? On Monday, Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley had his second interview with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles recently let go of their long time coach Andy Reid. 4: Bevell to AZ? God, I hope not. The Arizona Cardinals have set up an interview with Darrell Bevell for Wednesday. The Cardinals too just let go of their head coach. There is nothing worse than losing personnel to a divisional opponent, so hopefully Darrell has his heart in Seattle, no matter the money and glory Arizona tries to throw his way. 3: Words to live by The best thing I took away from the loss on Wednesday, was the post game interview with Russell Wilson, where he said that he was happy to look forward to next season. Unfinished business is the best kind of business. This kid even speaks beyond his years. 2: Wilson gets snubbed As expected, RGIII was named the Offensive Rookie of the Year. Bevell the next coach of the Cards? Wilson, in my eyes deserved this more than Griffin. Not only because I am a biased fan, but because the numbers clearly point to Wilson as the winner. More games started, more games won, more TD passes, more points scored, a record breaking half, and not to mention a better looking significant other. That would be the deciding factor if Brent Musbuger were the judge. 1: No play of the week this week, just a refection on the future instead The end is here. What did we learn this year? Well for one, our trust in Pete Carroll needs to be 100% even in the low times. I was right there calling for Matt Flynn to be named starter at around the week 4 mark, because basically, I lost my faith in Pete. Pete didn't steer us wrong, in fact, I think we outplayed even his expectations for this year. So what is next? Well that all depends on if we are able to keep our two coordinators I think. Too much of a shakeup could be a bad thing. The draft will be here soon enough, and who knows what kind of surprises management has in store for us, all I know is, Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch will be bringing home the Super Bowl to Seattle next season!

The assignment seemed simple,
a charcoal nude,
posing the question
should have been the hardest part.
Bjønne deepened his dimples,
said, I'm no prude, kjære,
then eyes like a fiord
preened with a gaze,
direct but not rude,
tender, all knowing, aware,
like a god, so like a god.
He arrived late, but I was not ready
for all that revealed lankiness,
the ease in which he disrobed,
how he filled my tight space
with a disconcerting cockiness,
as though clothing was optional,
as though he belonged
in my small lair.
How very long
were his softly furred limbs,
paper barely caged my strokes,
hands enraptured by toned muscle,
wondering if I was exposing
my shady thoughts while I was shading,
evading while invading, again and again,
a clandestine struggle to capture him.
I recall that his English was poor
But, oh, his bones were so very good.
For an hour he reclined
overtly male, but slightly feline,
on a cheap bent back chair
gone now, many years.
Yes, I still remember that Norwegian wood
and refuse to wonder whether I should.
*** OOPS! Lol. Wrote this for a contest and now I see that it had to be in quatrains. Oh, well. I had fun. Thanks for the inspiration, Heather!

State Rep. Joseph Graves, voted for right-to-work legislation in the state Thursday.
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder announced Thursday that he would pursue right-to-work legislation for public and private employees in the state, according to the Detroit Free Press.
"Unions have an important role in our state, but workers also deserve the chance to choose whether they'd like to be a union member or not which is why I voted for this legislation today," said Graves, R-Argentine Township. "Every worker in Michigan should be allowed the choice to join, support any group or cause and today we have restored freedom in our workplaces."
The House today approved House Bill 4054.
A separate bill currently in the Senate will provide labor freedom rights for government and public workers. The measure would not apply to law enforcement personnel and firefighters, who are covered under the binding arbitration of Public Act 312.
The legislation does not affect collective bargaining, as it is already enshrined in state law. About 17 percent of Michigan's workforce is unionized.
"Today we are putting Michigan workers back in charge of their own lives and own careers," Graves said. "This change will give our workers more rights and restore workplace fairness and equality to everyone who works in our great state."

Okay, well I might have been a little frivolous in my "throw- caution-to-the-wind" approach to Thanksgiving dinner. Truthfully, I almost died.
It looked so good on my third helping and who can turn down another round of oyster dressing because you know, oysters are said to be aphrodisiacs but, well, I guess I didn't think it through because after eating, the only thing I was interested in doing was trying not to die. I was sitting on the couch, bloated like three-day old road kill. Somehow we survived it as I hope you did.
Back to business.
It has already started. Christmas rip-offs and scams are all over the place and despite warnings and all the good information out there on avoiding them, people still seem to walk right into trouble as if they just got off the bus from Sesame Street.
Wake up!
Fraud can be avoided.
Here are some things we call "clues" in police work.
Watch out if:
Walk away from any deal or offer that you don't feel right about.
Be involved
Teach your kids and your parents about "too good to be true" offers. Be skeptical, and teach this to them. Many seniors are now on the Internet and fall prey to "nest egg investment" scams. Many kids are teenagers and well, enough said.
Don't forget about 'low-tech' thefts.
During the holidays there will be super-heavy mailing activity. Mail boxes will be stuffed. There are thieves who prefer the age-old method of snatching mail from the box. If the mail box is full, find one that's not. Hint: If you can see the mail that's already in the box, this is bad. Walk away. Walk away like you're walking away from an impromptu multi-level marketing presentation at your friend's house.
Don't mail from your mailbox. Use the U.S. Post Office boxes that aren't full or drop it off at the post office.
In summary, if it isn't there to steal, they won't steal it. All you can do is put the percentages on your side. Remember that every crook uses the good ol' "risk-and-opportunity" formula. Make it hard for them. Let them go somewhere else.
If someone attempts to scam you or you're the attempted target of fraud, report it. If you see a theft or even what you think is an attempt, call your local police agency.
If you've received a suspected fraud through the U.S. Mail, or if the mail used in the commission of a crime that began on the Internet, report it to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service by phone, in person or online.
There are U.S.P.I.S. offices in every major city.
And, finally, here is the best piece of advice I can give you. I've gotten e-mails from theft victims who had a wallet stolen from their purse but not their driver's license, ID, debit and credit cards. Why? They put them in their front pants pocket. This should be an absolute for you: Put your driver's license, ID, debit and credit cards in your front pants pocket—not back pocket—and, don't go shopping in a dress. That goes for you too ladies. HA!

Tell me, does anyone here really want to see Rock vs Cena again?

Re: Tell me, does anyone here really want to see Rock vs Cena again?
no because we saw it last year, many other dream matches, even if cena was to turn heel it would be better vs taker
cena vs taker would get people talking for sure, just think about that match
rock and cena are the only two that i want to see face taker, punk could have a good match with him but we all know he isn't winning
rock or cena vs undertaker would be a huge match, and they are both legit threats to the streak, and are both big names, taker needs epic matches
then there's the lesnar factor, lesnar/rock could be great, they have history from maybe the greatest summerslam ever in 2002, and heyman was there to, another dream match at mania that would draw
cena vs taker
brock vs rock
rock vs undertaker
cena vs punk
both of these would be big draws, probably bigger then cena/rock 2
cena/rock 2 hardcores dont want it, and not even casuals do, if it was to get a bigger buyrate maybe i can see them doing it but with other dream matches that would draw just as much i don't want it

Comment: The article is ridiculous (Score 1) 212
Everyone seems to be missing the main point of the pricing control change by Steam. The companies were always allowed to price the games at whatever initial price they wanted, so you could just as easily have a Free-To-Play game now as you could a year ago or more. The difference is that companies are now allowed to make their own Steam Sales. That's it. I really don't see how anyone can make the jump to that highly illogical conclusion.
Additionally, Steam has rules in place that allow the sale to only go for a maximum of 2 weeks and they can't have overlapping sales to muddle things up. All this does is give more control to the developers, which can only be a great thing IMO.

|I'm trying to decide on an Amaranth variety to try out. I'm looking to produce both a decent seed harvest as well as eat some of the greens off select plants.
From what I understand the most commonly planted commercial Amaranth come from the varieties Amaranthus cruentus, hypochondiacus, and tricolor.
Lesser used varieties are Amaranthus caudatus, hybridus and gangeticus.
Most of what I've read has led me to the understanding that all of these are either good seed producers or have tasty greens. Supposedly it's difficult to find a variety that will provide both.
The reason why I'm seeking to only plant one variety for the time being is that I'm looking to save seed for future plantings / sharing and I'd rather not end up with a ton of hybrid seed since I don't have any means of separating them at this time.
I also have read that Amaranth does well in poor, well drained soils which, is good for me. I have rather poor sandy soil here in north Florida and I've been trying to amend it organically but it's a slow and ongoing process. While Amaranth prefers poor soils I'm kind of standoffish of growing the very large cultivars as I fear they'll still get stunted.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

|Asian Amaranth is the vegetable type that is grown as a leafy vegetable (Amaranthus tricolor) It does of course grow a seed head but the heads and seeds are small. several varieties are available form vendors of Asian seed. http://www.evergreenseeds.com/edamyintsach.html
Grain Amaranth is of American origen and refered to as Mexican grain amaranth. http://www.uky.edu/Ag/CCD/introsheets/amaranth.pdf These will be be the species cruentus or hypochondiacus. While grown mostly for the seed heads, I understand the leaves are also edible. A liitle more difficult to find a seed source, but there are a few vendors.http://sustainableseedco.com/amaranth/ I would suspect that these may be more suitable for double duty.
|Okay, I'm going to go out on a limb here and ask that stupid question: What about the weed-amaranth? Can't you eat the leaves and seeds of those? How do they compare to the "bred" amaranth? I've seen asian folks picking these at parks, etc.
- Posted by farmerdill 8a GA (My Page) on Fri, Mar 14, 14 at 15:00
|yes. actually most weeds are edible if you are hungry enough. the most common wild version of amaranth is pigweed. http://www.foragingtexas.com/2008/08/amarath_20.html
Here is a link that might be useful: amaranth

|Amaranth seed is also available from Botanical Interests. I picked up a packet of Amaranth Burgundy last year at their booth at a fair and hopefully will find a space to plant it.
