At a recent event, actress Sonam Kapoor was spotted in a maroon silk anarkali by Gaurang Shah. She accessorized her outfit with simple ear studs and completed her look with a braided hairdo. She should have gone a bit heavier with the earrings but nevertheless, her elegant outfit managed to steal the spotlight. What say?!

About TusCon
TusCon is an annual science fiction convention sponsored by the Baja Arizona Science Fiction Association (BASFA), a Southern Arizona section 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization. The primary focus of TusCon is science fiction, fantasy and horror, but we also pay attention to art, animation, science, media and gaming.
Every year, dozens of professional writers, artists, editors, performers, and filmmakers attend the convention. We invite you to attend the convention, especially if you are a fan of reading, writing, gaming, and generally having fun. Besides, we have a Cookie Fairy in our ConSuite.
What else does TusCon 43 offer? How about an Art Show & Artist Alley, Panel Discussions, Vendors Room, Gaming, Anime Room, Round-the-Clock Video Room, Q&A with Film Makers, Science Presentations, Masquerade / Cosplay, Live Performances, Learn from The Pros, and So Much More!!
TusCon attracts between 300 to 500 attendees each year. Our attendees are an eclectic and diverse bunch, ranging from pre-teens to senior citizens. Income and education levels for TusCon attendees vary widely. The common denominator is a love for the written word, especially fantasy and science fiction.
Welcome to TusCon 43
Hello, fellow fans. Welcome to TusCon, Arizona! More specifically, welcome to TusCon 43, our 43rd annual Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Horror convention in Tuscon... ah, we mean rather Tucson, Arizona. Attendees of TusCon are among the most dedicated fans of science fiction, fantasy, and horror and many attendees are professional writers, film producers, artists, and reporters who keep others informed about the goings on in the industry.
This coming year our Author Guest of Honor is George R.R. Martin, author of the international bestselling series of epic fantasy novels, A Song of Ice and Fire which was adapted for cable television by HBO as "Game of Thrones".
Our Artist Guest of Honor is Peri Charlifu, an artist of over 30 years who has won dozens of awards and is founder and guild master of the Arts and Artisans of Colorado guild.
Our Special Media Guest is Master of Horror writer/ director/ producer/ actor William Malone, who in addition to being one of the most creative horror visionaries is also the foremost authority/ collector of the 1956 landmark sci-fi film "Forbidden Planet".
Our Special Guest is Geoff Notkin star of the multi-award-winning television series Meteorite Men for Science Channel and a host of the STEM Journals for Cox Media.
And our Toastmaster is the ever humble, and popular, Ed Bryant who is best known as a multi-award-winning author of horror & science fiction.
TusCon 43 will be held November 11th-November 13th 2016 at our new location the Radisson Hotel Tucson Airport in Tucson, Arizona.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.1 /5 from 76 reviews
More like a bed and breakfast than a hotel, the owner was very engaged to help the guests, clean, comfortable, wi-fi, excellent location in historic old-city Cordoba, would definitely recommend.
Sweet little hotel within a short walk of the Mezquita Cathedral.
Great hotel, near all sites, clean, would stay again.
We returned here because of the kindness shown to us during an earlier visit in 2009 and again this time in retrieving a lost bag.However our first night there was in an unheated room on an extremely cold night.We complained and were offered a heated room for our second and third nights. Our evening meal was very poor in a very cold bar. We had booked 2 months earlier.We would not return.
For me this the perfect little hotel. Small friendly unpretentious in a very quiet tiny plaza but near the main square, there were no frills but that is not what I want. A comfortable bed, decent heating system and good bathroom that is just fine for a reasonable price and helpful staffs all and simple

The signature of this Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) covers the framework for co-operation between the three organizations in establishing a network of chemical experts called "Marine ICE" or "MAR-ICE network," which aims to strengthen information transfer on chemical substances involved in marine pollution emergencies in EU waters.
The purpose of this network is to provide, upon request, the Member States of the European Union and the coastal states of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) with remote product specific information on chemicals involved in marine pollution, by contacting experts in chemical companies who are familiar with the substance(s) involved.
This new service is based on the voluntary ICE (Intervention in Chemical transport Emergencies) emergency response network, which provides similar assistance to national Authorities in land based chemical spills during transport.
This network is available 24/7 and has been operated by Cefic since 1992. With this agreement, the three organizations aim to apply the ICE experience to the development and implementation of a similar EU-wide service for marine incidents involving chemical releases.
The service will be accessible to requesting parties via a single interface to be provided by Cedre, whose key mission is to offer an around the clock national advisory service which provides those in charge of pollution response with information on the pollutants, their behavior, the related risks and the best response methods and techniques.
The establishment of this network is part of EMSA's implementation of its "Action Plan on Hazardous and Noxious Substances (HNS) Pollution Preparedness and Response," which was adopted in June 2007 and defines the Agency's pollution response tasks as stipulated in Regulation (EC) N° 1406/2002/EC.

In order for your VA Education Benefits to be certified, the following requirements must be met:
Veterans, Guard, and Reserve must supply a copy of their DD 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty to Montgomery Community College.
Veterans, active servicemembers, Guard and Reserve, and survivors and dependents must apply for admission and submit a copy of your acceptance letter from Montgomery Community College to the VA Certifying Official.
Veterans, active servicemembers, Guard and Reserve, and survivors and dependents must request official transcripts (high school or equivalent, college, College Level Examination Program, or Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support test results) to be sent directly to Montgomery Community College Admissions Office from all other educational institutions attended. Within two-to-three weeks after you apply for or transfer VA benefits, you will normally receive a letter from VA informing you that they have received your application and are processing it.
Approximately 45 – 60 days (sometimes longer, depending on the workload at the Regional Processing Office in Atlanta ) after your application has been submitted, you will receive two copies of a letter from the VA entitled "Certificate of Eligibility." Copy Number 2 is for the VA Certifying Official at Montgomery Community College for inclusion in your VA file.
Veterans, active servicemembers, Guard and Reserve, and survivors and dependents may also apply for additional financial aid through FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Click here to get started.

Only courses required to complete the appropriate curriculum or remaining elective courses in the individual's curriculum as published in the Montgomery Community College catalog may be counted in qualifying for VA benefits. The VA will not pay for non-degree or additional courses.
The Montgomery Community College course curriculum for your degree is the official list of courses covered under VA educational benefits. Any courses taken outside of the stated curriculum may be your financial responsibility.
Second or subsequent changes to include an additional school requires documentation of approval by the head of your degree program to be provided to the VA Certifying Official. A request for approval for such will then be submitted to the North Carolina State Approving Agency (NCSAA.) Approval must be made before your certification can be processed.
The VA will not pay for courses previously passed with a grade of "D" or higher; courses for which transfer credit has been granted; courses passed by a proficiency exam or credit received for military schools.
The VA will not pay for enrollment in the following: course audits, independent study, repeated courses previously passed, credit by examination, courses not required in chosen curriculum, and courses attempted more than two times.
A full-time undergraduate student will be eligible to receive full VA benefits (12 credit hours or six credit hours minimum each term under compressed terms.) For a student who enrolls for less than full-time, the amount he/she can receive in benefits will be prorated.
In the event that you are unable to meet full-time enrollment requirements during your last semester at Montgomery Community College, see your VA Certifying Official concerning additional class hours.
A record of approval of any changes must be provided to your VA Certifying Official at Montgomery Community College for inclusion in your file. It is the responsibility of the student to advise the VA Certifying Official of any change in status such as dropping/adding courses, course substitutions, or withdrawal from the school after a semester or term has begun.
It is ultimately the student's responsibility to report any changes and to enroll in classes that meet the degree requirement. Failure to comply with these requirements and proper procedures could result in an overpayment situation, a lapse in payment, or a reduction in benefits. Any extraneous benefits being received by the student will be terminated and/or recouped as quickly as possible; the government aggressively pursues repayment of any overpayments.
In the event you drop or add a course, please provide a copy of the required paperwork to your VA Certifying Official.
In the event of an address change, please notify the VA Certifying Official and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Montgomery Community College certifies students using the beginning and ending dates of the terms stated on the approved academic calendar. Internships or externships are reported as irregular calendar dates and approval must be received by the North Carolina State Approving Agency prior to certification.
Students will automatically be paid for breaks between terms of less than 30 days. If you do not want to be paid for these breaks, please notify the VA.
Students taking classes at another institution with the purpose of transferring required credit back to Montgomery Community College must provide a visiting student letter to the visiting school and to the VA Certifying Official at Montgomery Community College. You may be certified as a visiting student at the other institution provided all requirements are met.
Students whose grade point average (GPA) falls below a 2.0 may be placed on probation. Failure to achieve a GPA of 2.0 while on probation could result in suspension of VA educational benefits for unsatisfactory progress.
Students are under obligation to both Montgomery Community College and VA regulations, bearing in mind that VA regulations may differ from Montgomery Community College regulations.
Students receiving VA benefits are subject to all rules and regulations stated in the Montgomery Community College catalog.
Thank you for choosing Montgomery Community College for your educational endeavors. The following procedures are intended to ensure a smooth and uninterrupted certification and continuation of benefits while you are here. Our staff is ready to help you during any step in the process so please do not hesitate to contact us if you need assistance.

text: Would passage of the Chinese Currency Bill cause BIDU to go up or down? The data from yesterday seems inconclusive to me. Yesterday morning the only news item was politico's one sentence article quoting Sen. McConnell that the bill wouldn't pass. Since Bidu rallied at the bell my initial assumption was that the market was regarding defeat of the bill as a 'good' thing for Bidu (long position). However, McConnell's fillibuster was defeated around noon and on that news Bidu seemed to rally even higher, so my current best guess is that passage, not defeat, of the bill is being viewed as a 'good' thing for Bidu.Here's my guess as to the market's reasoning, which I admit might not be correct: since the declared intent of the bill is to force China to strengthen the value of the yuan vs. the dollar, let's take a hypothetical 10% increase, then every company that collects its revenues in yuan, including bidu, would instantly get (in this hypothetical) a 10% jump in all earnings/revenue numbers, AS REPORTED IN DOLLARS. Basically, Bidu would capture an increase in its revenues/earnings due to a favorable currency rate fluctuation without having to actually bring in more yuan.Obviously, there's profit potential here if we can figure out whether the market likes or hates the currency bill, as it will get several opportunities to react to news of the bill as it proceeds through the legislative process. If we can figure out what the market's reaction to good/bad news will be, then maybe we can get in early and ride some one day momentum plays up or down. I'm generally a buy and hold, long term investor, so day trading's not my strength, but cash is cash.The bill was postponed in the Senate last night, so among the possible announcements/actions pertaining to the bill's chance of success for Bidu and all other yuan revenue, US listed stocks are: scheduling of Senate vote/outcome of same, assuming passage in Senate (very likely), the attitude of Boehner in the House, then the House committee schedule of vote/outcome of same, scheduling of vote for full House/outcome of same, President's comments at any point, Presidential intent to sign or veto, and surely some others that I haven't thought of yet.This isn't just an exercise in vanity or cheerleading; I believe there may be real profit potential here. In previous, analogous situations I've made decent profits trading potentially affected companies vs. pending federal legislation (which is always deliciously complicated with many steps and esoteric parliamentary rules).

Eight-goal Bayern Munich coasted to victory as they both secured qualification for next season's Champions League and condemned St Pauli to second tier football next term.A ruthless and clinical Bayern Munich performance sent St Pauli back to the 2.Bundesliga after just one season back in the top flight as last year's champions ran out 8-1 winners. It was not the farewell St Pauli coach Holger Stanislawski wanted in his last home game in charge before joining Hoffenheim as the Bavarians ran amok to secure the third Champions League place.
Bayern took the lead after 12 minutes courtesy of an appalling mistake from Markus Thorandt. The St Pauli defender tried to chest Thomas Muller's ball into the box back to goalkeeper Thomas Kessler. Unsurprisingly, his touch lacked sufficient power, allowing the predatory Mario Gomez to nip in and tuck the ball into the net for his 25th goal of the season.
Andries Jonker's side managed the second goal their superiority deserved after 32 minutes. Arjen Robben's inswinging corner found Daniel van Buyten at the near post. The Belgian centerback found the back of the net with his header, helped partly by the fact that Kessler's view was blocked by the hapless Thorandt, who was having a miserable day at the races.
In spite of St Pauli having their best spell of the game, Bayern extended its lead further in the 52nd minute. Robben picked the ball up on the right-hand side, looked up and proceeded to thread a perfectly weighted through pass into Mario Gomez. The Bundesliga's leading goalscorer eluded St Pauli's slack marking and slotted the ball past Kessler.
Just two minutes later, it was four for the Bavarian outfit with Robben once again instrumental. The Dutch winger played a one-two with Thomas Muller inside the hosts' penalty-box before firing past Kessler, who got two hands to the shot but was unable to keep it out. It was Robben's 11th goal of the season, all of which have come after the winter break.
More comical defending from St Pauli led to Bayern's fifth of the afternoon and this time, it was Kessler who was at fault, having berated his defenders all match. He lost out to Miroslav Klose, who chipped the ball over him before cutting the ball back to Gomez. Kessler recovered to deny Gomez but Franck Ribery was on hand to stroke the rebound into the empty net.
Although the hosts were outclassed as they finally succumbed to relegation, they kept plugging away and managed to score a deserved goal 12 minutes from time. Central defender Marcel Eger headed his near-post effort through the hands of Butt; a strike which was celebrated by the home supporters as if it was the winning goal.
The icing on the cake from the visitors came with three goals in the closing stages. Franck Ribery's left-footed cross found Robben, who produced a superb header, which he angled away from Kessler and into the corner of the net. Klose then won the ball back for his team before Robben picked out Gomez, who put the ball away for his fifth hat-trick of the season. Ribery then found the corner with a stunning curling shot beyond Kessler to make it eight.
Bayern's last game of a turbulent season comes at the Allianz Arena against Stuttgart while St Pauli bow out of the Bundesliga, for the time being, with a trip to Mainz, who have qualified for the Europa League.

You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.

Though it hasn't been determined yet whether or not the final bid is an honest one, the eBay Motors auction for John Schneider's 1969 Dodge Charger that was originally used on his hit TV show, The Dukes of Hazzard, was a wild ride that ended last Friday with a winning bid of $9,900,500. As we reported then, if the sale goes through, that would make the General the second most expensive car ever auctioned behind a rare Bugatti that went for over $11 million at Christie's about 20 years ago.

Jordan's $3.15 million wish granted by Japan
The Japanese government will extend a 300 million yen ($3.15 million) grants to the Kingdom under a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed on Monday by Planning and International Cooperation Minister Jafar Hassan and Japanese chargé d'affaires Masayuki Miyamoto.
The grant is part of Japan's new assistance programme that has been launched recently, under its policy to eliminate environmental pollution. The grant will be used to buy Japanese environment-friendly vehicles and equipment needed to operate and maintain them to cut down on environment pollution.
Hassan said the MoU reflects the distinguished Jordanian-Japanese relations, especially as it comes amid difficult economic and social challenges, which the country has to deal with, as a result of political regional circumstances. In 2012, Japan extended a soft loan totalling 12 billion yen (the equivalent of $155 million) to Jordan to finance a programme of developing human resources and improving social infrastructure, besides two other grants totalling $3.22 million and $6.78 million.
Between 2007 and 2012, Japan's assistance to the Kingdom totalled around $273.51 million, of which $117.51 were grants and the remaining tranche were in soft loans, besides technical assistance provided through the Japan International Cooperation Agency.

Fat Princess dev team founds Carbon Games
Former staff of recently-closed Fat Princess developer Titan Studios have formed a new team called Carbon Games.
Joystiq reports the core members of the Epic Games China subsidiary formed a new studio when Titan Studios quietly shut up shop last month.
"Everyone that is starting Carbon is from Titan, but it's only about half of what was left," founder James Green said.
" … We had actually been winding down Titan gracefully for a while. The longterm plan has always been for Epic Games China to exist on their own. We were just in a support/advisory role, which is why we never followed up Fat Princess with anything."
Carbon is said to be comfortably self-funded and working on modest PC games. The team's experience with Fat Princess seems to have turned them off console networks for the moment, with Green commenting that on PC, Carbon can "iterate and get player feedback faster and actually control the patching process."
The studio's first project, which will be a departure from Fat Princess' cartoon style, will be announced later this year.

With Black Friday's bargains and bust-ups out of the way for another year, the next big event on the holiday shopping calendar is Cyber Monday.
But what's the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?
And most importantly, where are the best Cyber Monday deals to be found?
We will be bringing you live updates of all of the best deals to be found today in your favourite retailers.
So what is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday is essentially the online equivalent of Black Friday.
Instead of pushing and shoving with rival shoppers to grab the latest bargains in real-world retailers, bargain hunters take to the internet to spend billions on reductions on limited time deals.
A huge number of online retailers are offering Cyber Monday deals - with special sales and price drops promised from Amazon, Tesco Direct, Phones 4 U and Argos among others.
A whopping £600million is expected to be blown on Internet shopping today - Britain's biggest day ever for online sales.
The huge sum will be splashed out by six million shoppers.
Experts say that combined with Black Friday promotions, this weekend should see an extra £1billion of sales as high street stores go head to head with online retailers in a savage Christmas price war.
Shoppers are enjoying a bonanza as bargains that would normally be kept for January are available early.
Marina McKeever of shopping website Voucher-Codes.co.uk says online sales are expected to account for more than £14.5bn of sales over the festive period.
She said: "A fifth of shoppers will do the majority of Christmas present shopping online.
"We expect to see retailers ramping up their sales promotions."
The Centre for Retail Research predicts that online sales will increase by 16 per cent today, with six million shoppers spending £605m over 24 hours.
As the festive season approaches, the Met's new Cyber Crime Unit have put together a handy check-list which will hopefully prove invaluable to shoppers using the internet.
Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said: "The worldwide web has provided consumers with an unprecedented opportunity to empty their wallets.
"The unpalatable truth, however, is that as ever greater numbers of us have moved online to conduct our shopping, banking and an array of other financial activities, so fraudsters have identified an opportunity to empty people's wallets for them."
DCI Jason Tunn of the Met's Cyber Crime Unit added: "These are simple tips to keep safe while you shop online for your gifts for friends and family.
"The last thing anyone needs is for their details to be compromised by cyber criminals and online fraudsters - especially during the Christmas period.
"Hopefully these safeguards are easy to follow and can be implemented even by those with limited computer skills."
Top Tips for Cyber Monday:
- Install protection on your computer with Anti Virus or full security suite products.
- Stay up to date - make sure you regularly patch your operating system to minimise your system vulnerabilities.
- Secure your network and use this to shop online. Don't use someone else's as it may not be secure.
- Don't click into links sent out by unsolicited spam or phishing emails - go direct to the website URL.
- Let your system browser help you stay safe - enable your browser phishing and malware protection filters.
- Use a credit card instead of a debit card - credit cards may offer increased protection.
- Always look for the website URL to be shown as HTTPS and look for the padlock icon - banking data sent over unsecured websites may be vulnerable to online thieves.
- Look at customer reviews for websites if you're not sure on using the site.
- If a deal sounds too good to be true - it probably is. Consumers are urged to be wary of receiving unsolicited mail asking them to visit sites for cheap deals on hard to get items. These may contain links designed to compromise your computer and steal your credentials.
- If you're still in doubt, consider alternative payment methods such as PayPal, gift cards or pre-paid credit cards.
So what are the best deals around?
First up, gadgets.
A number of retailers are offering big ticket gadgets at knockdown prices.
Gamestop will be selling the brand new PlayStation 4 for just £329 a full £20 discount on the console which launched just last week.
Tesco's Cyberdeals includes the 7th Generation 16GB Apple iPod Nano for just £99, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 for £200.
Phones4U will be offering a free Sony Smartwatch 2 to customers who buy a Sony Xperia Z1 on their special Cyber Monday deal - and have a range of other packages on offer.
ASDA, which is owned by American retailer Walmart, is offering a range of 55 Cyber Monday discounts, with 15% off cameras and various deals on gadgets.
Argos are offering £100 off selected watches, a third off Nikon cameras and up to £230 off Bush TVs.
Today is the busiest day for online shopping - and Amazon have hired thousands of extra staff for the occasion.
With 15,000 extra staff to meet demand, expects its Kindle Fire HD, £99, to fly off shelves.
It says 6pm is the peak time for online sales.
Managing director Chris North said: "People are maximising their commute by shopping on the way home."
Visa said that data analysis shows that the busiest online shopping day historically falls on the Monday closest to the beginning of December.
During Monday, Visa expects £312,500 to be spent per minute, or £5,208 per second, on its cards online.
"UK consumers' love affair with online shopping will reach its peak on Mega Monday," said Jeremy Nicholds, director of commercial development at Visa Europe.
"Online shopping now accounts for more than 25% of spend with Visa in the UK, signifying the confidence that consumers have in the security of online payments and in the delivery of goods."
John Lewis expects 80,000 online orders to be placed today, with iPads, cashmere and Ugg boots set to be the most wanted items.
It said that it has seen mobile orders more than double on a year ago and 42% of online traffic now comes from smartphones and tablet computers.
"Our customers' shopping habits have changed over the past few years," said Mark Lewis, online director at John Lewis.
"With shoppers becoming more comfortable when purchasing via mobiles and tablets, coupled with better connectivity and the rise of smartphones so people can browse online through the day, it's not surprising the way we shop has changed."
Cyber Monday was started in 2005 by a retail trade group keen to get a slice of the festive season spending, to encourage people to shop online the Monday after Thanksgiving.
It's quickly become one of the biggest online shopping days of the year.
In 2012, Cyber Monday saw a 17 per cent increase in sales from 2011, totaling $1.465 billion in sales.
Tesco is has lumped both its Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals into a big 4-day event it calls simply Cyberdeals.
Their deals are mostly technology and furniture, with up to 50% off on selected products.
It has slashed a Philips Senseo coffee machine by 63% and Babyliss hair straighteners are now £17.
Other deals include £15 off an iPod Nano and £30 off the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.
ASDA, which is owned by American retailer Walmart, is offering a range of 55 Cyber Monday discounts, with 15% off cameras and various deals on gadgets.
There is a whopping 25% off LeapFrog products - set to be the most popular children's gift of 2013.
Samsung UE32EH400 32ins LED TV is reduced by an impressive £40, costing £289.
To aid shoppers navigate the deals available today, price comparison site idealo.co.uk has tips to make sure online shoppers don't get short-changed.
1. Check if there are any voucher codes available - it can make a big difference to how much money you save.
Shoppers should compare prices on short-term deals, be that from another retailer and with or without the use of a voucher code.
On occasion, a shop with voucher code discount can still work out more expensive than another shop not offering a code.
2. Online shops often reduce the RRP anyway, so you may not be saving as much as you think.
To help get a better idea of a product's historical pricing, use a price tracker to make an informed decision on your purchases.
3. If friends and family are flexible in terms of colour, design or specification, then finding a product for a given price can be a little easier.
Avoiding the more coveted colours and designs can save consumers money, so it's always worth checking if this is an option.
Argos are offering £100 off selected watches, a third off Nikon cameras and up to £230 off Bush TVs.
It also has half-price deals on toys like the FurReal Friends Daisy Plays-With-Me-Kitty Soft Toy, now £24.99.
If you buy some of the newest tech gadgets, you don't necessarily get money off, but you do get given substantial Argos vouchers for free.
With an iPod touch you get £20, whereas with a Samsung Tab 3 you get £40.
Sainsbury's have cut £60 off a white 64GB iPad, with an extra £20 available with an evoucher code, making it £479.
The grocery store's site has also slashed £100 from a 40in Samsung telly, now £349.99.
And for those of you who are planning on buying kitchen goodies for mum this Christmas, you're in luck.
Sainsbury's have 50% off on a huge range of foodie machines - including the Boch Tassimo T40 machine, now costing just £59.99.
Hoping to get that Christmas party dress for a discount?
Look no further - Dorothy Perkins will be discounting everything online and in-store by a whopping 30.
Sky Broadband have been giving out tips for ways to make sure you get the best deal.
They say that if you're being offered a top-of-the-line item for an unbelievably rock-bottom price, it may really be too good to be true.
Do additional research before buying. At very least, check for a phone number and address so if there's a problem with your order, you have someone to contact.
They also recommend searching multiple e-tailers or shopping comparison sites such as pricerunner.co.uk, pricechecker.co.uk or megashopbot.com to ensure the best deal.
Make sure you know the going rate of a product or tickets so you're aware of a good deal when you see one.
And if you've wanted something for a while you've had plenty of time to do research so make sure you compare prices, whether you're searching clothes, games, gadgets or books.
LeapFrog MD Chris Spalding has revealed that tablets are the fastest-growing sector for Christmas shopping.
He said: "Christmas 2013 will see more tablets given as Christmas presents than ever before and an estimated £80 million pounds worth of tablets will be bought for children this year."
As a developer for children's tablets, Spalding admits that Black Friday is vital to LeapFrog: "We are gearing up for a big week with both 'Black Friday' and 'Cyber Monday' becoming increasingly important to the UK consumer electronics industry.
"We expect more parents than ever before to be getting their online shopping done over the next week and for this Christmas to be one of the most technology filled of all time."

Capitalizing on the notion that every story with comic book origins deserves a Hollywood treatment (in itself, a specious idea), "The Cape" was introduced to capture the audience left when the increasingly problematic "Heroes" left the air. But lacking that show's complex mythology and appealing cast, it was an uphill battle from the start. I do contend that the elements to have developed a successful show were all present, they were just never assembled in the right way.
The Good: David Lyons was a likable lead--a family man and cop who is forced into a heroic alter ego when framed (and seemingly murdered) by the town's super villain. James Frain has a nice menace as the unstable foe. Morally corrupt Keith David and a bevy of carnival performers provide unlikely support to our new hero.Read more ›
That's what I really liked about the show. The creators were telling their stories in an earnest, non-campy fashion, and having their characters actually dealing with the situations they found themselves in. Evil hides behind the institutions of law and order, with the biggest threat coming not from our hero, but Evil's competitors. Those people our hero was forced to leave behind are shown dealing with the ramifications of the frame-up, and the loss of the primary bread-earner of the family; and we also see how our hero inspires others into standing up for what's right.
This is all heady stuff, which allowed one to question the conventions of the genre, and look at them with fresh eyes, especially with how they would fit into today's world.
The problem came in the execution ... as the previous reviewer noted, tonally it was inconsistent as the world seemed to reside on the borders of the mundane and the bizarre. Then, also, the writing was inconsistent, with certain matters glossed over when they should have been examined, and other matters scrutinized when they should have been glossed over.
So, yeah, this series wasn't perfect, and it did provoke A LOT of love it/hate it discussions ... so, obviously, it isn't for everyone. But, given the relative scarcity of original costumed crimefighters appearing on TV, I do give the series credit for at least trying.
The series really started to click when the characters discovered their sense of humor, but by then it was too late. Consequently, it was when the series was hitting its creative stride, that it was cancelled because it couldn't attract and hold an audience.
NBC gave The Cape a good time slot. NBC promoted it heavily.
As the storyline developed, the main characters were filled out with their back ground stories. Episodes were improving in plot and character development.
Peter Fleming's Chess alter ego was given a sympatric storyline. Max Malini and Rollo were just two great characters, brave, courageous and of course thieves.
Keith David is a fine actor, and he played Max Malini to the hilt with a devilish glee. Martin Klebba's Rollo was a delight as he interacted with Max and The Cape. His fight with the evil Scales was one of those rare moments.
Summer Glau's mysterious Orwell character was just stunning. The evolution of her character was well done as her feelings for The Cape intensified as each episode progressed. Her true identity was revealed in bits and pieces.
Trip Faraday represented every boy and his love for comic book heroes. His belief in his dad was very touching. The Cape, his own personal superhero, gave him a sense of hope and wonder.
Dana Faraday's steadfast belief in her husband's innocence was a constant in the series. She truly loved her husband and took every opportunity to prove his innocence.
I watched every episode and enjoyed it. Of course, it was not perfect.
In this day and age of economic ups and downs, a television program needs to click with viewers real fast in order to survive.Read more ›

So, how exactly did this happen?
The particulars of what took place after the shadows encompassed the pitching mound at Fenway Park late Sunday afternoon seems even more unbelievable as you get further away from it. As it transpired, the impression is simply that of a flurry of hits followed by a quick, 1-2-3 home half of the ninth inning and, ultimately, the Angels celebrating their 7-6, series-clinching win.
But as there is time to slow down that ninth, its construction becomes almost unbelievable.
Two outs, the Red Sox leading by two runs, and Jonathan Papelbon — not only one of the game's best closers, but a pitcher who had retired all but one of the last 17 batters he faced (having hit Toronto's Adam Lind on Sept. 29) — jumping out to an 0-2 count on Los Angeles' No. 9 hitter, Erick Aybar.
But then the improbable started showing its face.
First, Aybar turned around Papelbon's 97 mph, 0-2 fastball for a single. The fact that the shortstop jumped on the pitch in the zone shouldn't have come as a surprise considering he only took a called third strike twice in 158 0-2 pitches this season and had hit a reputable .222 when putting pitches on that count in play.
Papelbon also had thrown a remarkable high percentage of strikes on 0-2 pitches this year, tossing balls on just 35 of his 93 offerings with such a count.
The Red Sox closer proceeded to come back from a 3-0 count to the next batter, Chone Figgins, and work a full count. At this point, it was clear Papelbon was bring the hard stuff and nothing else, pumping in all four-seam fastballs. But the seventh pitch to Figgins sailed high, resulting in the pitcher's first free pass since Aug. 24 when he walked Chicago's Paul Konerko.
That was 56 at-bats and 263 pitches without a single walk until Figgins came around.
Up next was Bobby Abreu, the hitter who had reached base eight times in 12 plate appearances in the series. Above and beyond any other hitter Papelbon has had to face, Abreu had a talent for working the count against the closer, having drawn more walks vs. Papelbon than any other major league hitter (5). But when there wasn't a free pass involved, the hurler usually had the upper-hand, having retired Abreu in all but one of his seven official at-bats in the matchup.
This time Abreu took the first pitch for a ball before fouling off three straight pitches. Finally, the outfielder got a fastball to his liking, lining it sharply off the left field wall to draw the Angels within one.
Now Figgins stood at third with the tying run, with Abreu representing the go-ahead score at second and Torii Hunter at the plate.
Hunter entered the game 3-for-8 against Papelbon and was coming off an at-bat in which he was showered with chants of "Torii, Torii" prior to striking out against reliever Billy Wagner.
Hunter was perceived as a good clutch hitter, having totaled a .305 batting average this season with runners in scoring position and two outs. He also had hit .353 in "close and late" situations entering the showdown.
The choice was made by Red Sox manager Terry Francona: Walk Hunter and take your chances with Vladimir Guerrero, he of the 2-for-12 history against Papelbon.
The downside of such a decision was that Papelbon had little room for error, and had thrown all fastballs to that point, both facts that weren't lost on Guerrero. The numbers kept piling up — the cleanup hitter had hit .351 when putting the first pitch in play this season, with Papelbon issuing just two walks (and three hits) in 38 career plate appearances with the bases loaded.
Bottom line: If Guerrero was going to get a good pitch out of the gate he was going to swing at it. He did, and he did. The result was a line drive that center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury didn't have a prayer at reaching, leading to another black mark in Red Sox playoff lore.
"It hurts just as much as any other postseason loss. You can't sit there and classify how much this one hurts than any other. … In postseason play, my job is to, when I get called upon is to get all the outs I'm called on to get," Papelbon said. "I think things happened quick, more than anything. I wasn't able to stop the bleeding. Your team fights and puts you in that situation, to call upon you, and you let them down. Your team expects you to pull through and preserve that win for you and then you don't, it's definitely not a good feeling."
There was a bunch more we learned on the day the Red Sox' season died, some having to do with Sunday's turn of events, and others in regards to what lay ahead …
Following the Guerrero single, Papelbon was taken out of the game by Francona and replaced by Hideki Okajima. As the closer walked to the dugout, a smattering of boos infiltrated the stunned silence, the likes of which weren't lost on many of the Red Sox players.
In his teammates' eyes, Papelbon didn't deserve his first-ever negative Fenway Park reaction.
"I don't think he deserves for them to do that," pitcher Jon Lester said. "Obviously it wasn't everybody, you could tell that. But the few people that did I personally think it was uncalled for, but that's the way it goes sometimes, I guess. Hopefully we can come back next year and do better."
Did the fans' reaction come as a shock to Lester?
"Absolutely," he said. "I think it surprised everybody."
The lefty clearly wasn't alone in his take.
"The one thing I didn't agree with was a little bit of the fans kind of booing toward the end. Everything he's done here I think he deserves a little more respect that," reliever Manny Delcarmen said. "You normally don't see that."
Added outfielder Jason Bay: "Yeah, I understand everyone's frustration, but at the end of the day Pap didn't lose that game on his own and didn't have any part in losing the first two,. I think it was a culmination of everybody's frustration, and I'm sure they will be the same people the first save he makes next year they'll be on their feet. Understandable I guess, but from my angle a little disheartening."
With pinch-runner Reggie Willits representing the tying run at first base and two outs in the eighth inning, Papelbon drew on an old friend to get him out of the jam. For the third time in his career he picked a runner off first base.
It was also the second time Papelbon had delivered with a pickoff at a monumental moment, having nabbed Colorado's Matt Holliday in Game 2 of the 2007 World Series. And like that one, much of the credit has to go to bench coach Brad Mills, who called the execution of the play.
"Terry and I had discussed it and he said, 'Go ahead and do it here,' but I already had the sign up so I didn't have to do anything," Mills explained. "We just thought it was a good time."
Papelbon has worked diligently on improving his ability to hold on runners, having thrown over to first base 25 times this season, 15 more than a year ago. He has also learned to mix things up, as it was also just the third time this year he has executed a pickoff attempt on an 0-2 count.
Coming into the game, the Angels had three stolen bases this season against Papelbon, the most vs. any Red Sox pitcher other than Tim Wakefield.
Coming into the eighth the Red Sox were holding a 5-1 lead with Wagner on the mound. The first batter, Abreu, hit a seemingly harmless grounder which ate up first baseman Kevin Youkilis, bouncing into the photographer's pit for a leadoff double.
The play could have been ruled an error on Youkilis, who had already made one fielding miscue on a pickoff throw from Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz earlier in the game. He has never made more than one error in any game throughout his career.
After getting Hunter to strike out, Wagner walked Guerrero on eight pitches, giving Wagner nine free passes on the season, one shy of the reliever's total for the entire 2008 season (45 games).
Then came one a moment lost on many, but not Dustin Pedroia.
With runners on first and second, Kendry Morales hit a bounding grounder to Pedroia at second. But upon its arrival the ball took a bad hop, forcing the second baseman to collapse to his knees and smother it just enough to get the inning's second out at first.
Some, including Pedroia, felt like — especially with Guerrero running at first — there was a legitimate shot at an inning-ending double play when the ball left the bat.
"It took a bad hop," Pedroia noted. "Our infield sucks. It's the worst in the game. I'm not lying about that. That is true. It took a bad hop. I just tried to put my body in front of it to get an out.
"I think about those things, too. That stuff upsets me. My job is to take 1,000 ground balls a day and the other guy's job is to get the field perfect so we can play baseball. But it happens. That's the way it goes."
Once the Red Sox got to the bottom of the ninth, down by a run, they found themselves facing closer Brian Fuentes, a lefty.
Leading off the inning, Francona chose to pinch-hit Jed Lowrie for Alex Gonzalez, who was 1-for-6 in his career against Fuentes, and had one hit in six at-bats in the series.
Lowrie had said his surgically repaired wrist didn't bother him when hitting right-handed, although the infielder had experienced a limited amount of at-bats since returning to the majors in early September, having gone 2-for-12.
The result was a fly out to center field to lead off the inning.
Two weeks before, the at-bat would have most likely gone to Rocco Baldelli, who finished his season with the Red Sox having hit .290 against left-handers. But because of an injured hip flexor, Baldelli was not on the roster, leaving Lowrie, Jason Varitek and Brian Anderson as the only right-handed options off the bench.
Bottom line: Francona and the Red Sox were handcuffed by injuries, with the ninth inning magnifying that.
Lowrie will be heading back out to Arizona to have his wrist checked out once again by specialist Dr. Donald Sheridan. Meanwhile, Baldelli jogged Sunday for the first time since his injury and said he fully expected to be ready to play if the Red Sox reached the ALCS. He is so confident of his recovery that he has already signed up to play on his friend's recreational basketball league team, which starts in less than a month.
In other injury news, Wakefield met with doctors following the game to discuss when he could have surgery on his herniated disc. It is believed that a procedure will take place as early as this week.
It wouldn't be a Red Sox playoff game without some sort of legend to pass on, and that came courtesy of Figgins.
Figgins watched from his defensive position as a door next to the 379 marker in center field opened during the bottom of the ninth inning, after the Angels had taken their 7-6 lead. A conversation between Figgins and Red Sox third base coach DeMarlo Hale ensued.
Said Figgins: "It's funny, we saw that door open, and the third base coach tells me, 'You know the ghosts just opened the door.' And I said, 'Nah, not this time.' I was like, 'Close that door so we can close all this. Get three outs and let's take it home.' "
A short time later, the door was officially closed.
If the Red Sox did hold on, there was no doubt who would have pitched.
Daisuke Matsuzaka, the pitcher thought to have a chance to pitch Game 4 at one point, warmed up in the Red Sox bullpen throughout the game, and as early as the second inning. That left only one option for the potential next game — Lester, who had pitched on three days rest just once before, Aug. 23, 2008.
So, how did he feel heading toward Monday?
"It doesn't matter now how I felt. It really didn't matter to begin with," Lester said. "I was going to pitch."
One player who also regretted not getting another chance to take advantage of some momentum was J.D. Drew, whose fourth-inning, two-run homer was eerily similar to the kind of swing that had manufactured so many positive postseason memories — most notably his grand slam in the '07 American League Championship Series.
"I don't know if it's exactly the same swing, but similar to the one off Carmona, a pitch down and over the plate, stayed inside the ball and put a good swing on it," Drew said. "That's the thing I felt like there were some good swings today and was hoping to be able to battle again tomorrow, but it didn't work out."
One subtle aspect of the game that went noticed by the players were the shadows looming over the Fenway field throughout the game. Because of the 12:07 p.m. start time and early October date, the sun and stadium combined for a unique pattern all over the diamond.
"From the fifth inning on there was a big difference in the way you see the ball," said Red Sox third baseman Mike Lowell. "Fielding it actually got easier. With the noon start there were a lot of white shirts, but as the shadows came in it kind of darkens so defensively it actually gets easier. But hitting got hard.
In the fifth and sixth I think it was toughest, when the pitchers in the sun and you're in the shade you almost see two different colored balls. You can lose it halfway. When the pitcher's in the shade and you're in the shade, it's maybe a little easier but the backdrop is still in the sun and that's what kind of throws you off. I didn't see [Scott] Kazmir my third at-bat as good as my first two."

Brazil will take on Mexico for the Olympic Gold in soccer
August 8, 2012
On Tuesday, Brazil defeated South Korea on the football field at the 2012 London Olympics soccer semifinals, which means they will now have the chance to compete for the gold medal. According to The Associated Press, Brazil will go up against Mexico, which is competing in the final for the first time in Olympic history. Brazil's last chance to compete for the gold was at the 1988 Seoul Games, but the team finished in second place. In 1996 and 2008, they came close with third-place wins.
"It's been a long time since we made it to this final and that shows how hard it is to get here," Brazil's coach Mano Menezes told the AP. "This group deserves a lot of credit and they know that we are closer to finally winning the gold."
Brazil showed a bit of weakness on the field against South Korea in the beginning of the match, but the players turned things around shortly into the game and finished with a 3-0 victory. The South American team may have another advantage over their competitors, as one of Mexico's star players suffered an injury recently, NewsDay reports. Giovani dos Santos was benched for the team's semifinal match against Japan due to a muscle injury, and coach Luis Fernando Tena told the news source he is unsure if dos Santos will be playing in the final. Despite the star athlete sitting out the semifinal game, Mexico still defeated Japan 3-1.
The final match between Mexico and Brazil, which will be held on Saturday at Wembley Stadium, is sure to be exciting. Soccer fans can make calls to Brazil with international phone cards to discuss the upcoming game with their friends.
