Since last November, Senate obstruction hasn't disappeared, it simply has taken a different form.
President Obama does something Republicans don't like on immigration, and their idea of payback is to stick it to working-class Americans who have kids, most of whom -- when we are talking about whites -- just voted to make them the majority party in both the House and the Senate.
No one else can more effectively reshape the message and policy agenda of the Democratic Party, and there's no better way for her to do so than with the platform of a White House run.
We've waited this long, I think we can afford to wait another couple of weeks. It might not change anything -- it might not influence congressional Republicans in the slightest -- but there is a chance that it could. That chance is worth taking.
Many are now pointing out that Warren's elevation pretty much assures she won't be running for president in 2016, but then we never really believed she would run in the first place. At this point, she'll be much more effective within the Senate Democrats.
Speaker Pelosi was able to pass meaningful legislation despite an ideologically diverse cause because she made sure that her members understood that even though they might disagree on many things, their job was ultimately to negotiate a compromise and take action to improve the lives of ordinary Americans.
Leading Democrats in Washington have joined Republicans in claiming that the people killed and the dwellings destroyed from Israeli bombing and shelling were legitimate acts of self-defense against military targets and dismissing reports by reputable Israeli and international human rights groups saying otherwise.
Job creation in October marked the ninth straight month the economy has added 200,000 jobs or more, a feat last accomplished in 1994. The U.S. has created some 2.3 million jobs this year and is on track for the biggest gain in almost a decade.
Corn and Christie debate if it was a wave but not mandate election since the GOP campaigned only on "Obama Sucks". Q: How did Dems get blamed for gridlock and meh economy by a GOP causing both? A: Political malpractice. Q: Can Obama make a deal on Immigration? A: Not with a Party with the Fringe on Top.
Even as Republicans bask in victory and Democrats try to recover from shell-shock, the greater implications of this election are starting to crystallize. It's early, but three lessons particularly stand out.
Last night, Democrats got well and truly shellacked once again in a midterm election. It was so bad, it's pretty hard for Democrats to even attempt to gild the lily or spot that elusive silver lining. Republicans are consumed with glee, which they've well earned this year.
I live in Oregon and we just legalized recreational use of marijuana. I may need to smoke some, but for medicinal reasons, to create a new mental space to make sense out of how the country voted Tuesday. Welcome to our society of colossal contradictions.
By virtue of America's superpower status in international affairs, millions of people around the world will be tracking the polls and watching the results. And three countries in particular, all of whom reside in the Middle East, will be glued to the television as the votes are counted.
There are not enough adjectives to adequately describe the failures of Democratic campaigns across the nation -- but let's try a few.
At this moment there is no Ebola epidemic in the United States. But some have tried -- quite intentionally -- to create an epidemic of fear and panic for their own political gain. That is irresponsible and reprehensible.
A Republican Senate is pretty much an iron-clad guarantee of the return of "fiscal cliffs" and "government shutdowns" and "hostage-taking" and all the rest of the budgetary games Republicans are known for playing.

A Path to More Effective Activism
Posted on Mar 22, 2013
People are likelier to join causes that present visions of a society that is warmer, friendlier and more moral than the one they live in than they are to support efforts that do not feature such outlooks, a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin says.
The study's lead author, Paul G. Bain of the University of Queensland, sought to explore academic and social philosopher Noam Chomsky's principle that "social action must be motivated by a vision of a future society."
Bain and his colleagues conducted eight separate experiments into "people's vision of society's future affects their willingness or unwillingness to support particular reforms," The Raw Story reports. "The eight studies asked participants to reflect on how society would change by 2050 if climate change was averted, abortion laws were relaxed, marijuana was legalized, or various religious groups obtained political dominance."
Combined with previous research, the findings suggest that people who are not convinced, for example, of the reality of the threat of climate change, can be "coaxed into pro-environmental positions" if the issue is presented as a matter of creating a more benevolent place to live, rather than solving specific economic, technological or ecological problems.

Factory Image (D:) Space[ Edited ]

I recently noticed that my Factory Image Drive was low (1.54 GB free of 11.2 GB) on my Compaq Presario SR5710F Desktop PC.

High court sets hearing in campaign dispute
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico's highest court plans a [auth] hearing later this month on a lawsuit by Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gary King in a dispute over campaign contributions.
At issue in the case before the state Supreme Court is a state law that limits individuals and political action committees to giving no more than $5,200 for a primary election and $5,200 for a general election.
The court on Wednesday scheduled an Aug. 28 hearing and issued an order blocking Secretary of State Dianna Duran from forcing King to give up $10,900 in contributions that her office says exceed the state caps because the money was given after the June 3 primary election.
King received $10,400 each from Ed and Trudy Healy of Taos on June 25, and $5,700 from Amelia Carson of Santa Fe on June 28.
Duran contends that's $10,400 too much from the Taos couple and $500 over the general election limit for the Santa Fe retiree.
King, a two-term attorney general, maintains the contributions were permissible because they are meant to help retire his primary election debt.
However, Duran says a candidate can't accept contributions for the primary after the election has occurred from donors who have given the maximum amount for the general election.
The secretary of state, whose office administers election laws, had directed King's campaign to deposit the contributions in a state elections fund. The Supreme Court's order stops any enforcement efforts by Duran's office.
King has said the Republican secretary of state is going after his campaign "to try and steal the election" for GOP Gov. Susana Martinez.
Duran said Wednesday she's "very disappointed the attorney general is making such blatantly partisan remarks instead of sticking to the law and to the issue before us."

Data-intensive science is a scientific discovery process that is driven by knowledge extracted from large volumes of data rather than the traditional hypothesis driven discovery process. One of the key challenges in data-intensive science is development of enabling technologies to allow researchers to effectively utilize these large volumes of data in an effective manner. This paper introduces the concept of "data prospecting" to address the challenges of data intensive science. With data prospecting, we extend the familiar metaphor of data mining to describe an initial phase of data exploration used to determine promising areas for deeper analysis. Data prospecting enhances data selection through the use of interactive discovery engines. Interactive exploration enables a researcher to filter the data based on the "first look" analytics, discover interesting and previously unknown patterns to start new science investigations, verify the quality of the data, and corroborate whether patterns in the data match existing science theories or mental models. This paper describes our initial evaluation of the value of"data prospecting" to Earth Science researchers as part of their research process. The paper describes our discovery engine prototype to support data prospecting for specific data products along with its current limitations. Example science investigations from three different researchers using our prototype discovery engine to explore the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager and Sounder (SSM/I, SSMIS) data products are also presented.

Working it out
Although the two great temples of Jupiter and Bacchus are the main attraction at Baalbek, the rest of the site is important as it defines the purpose and function of the whole complex. Take some time to study a map of the whole area so that the parts you walk through on your way to the main platforms have meaning and context.
The ruins are all natural stone now - imagine what it must have looked like in its time, everything crisply carved and brightly gilded and painted. Most of us today probably would prefer the mellowed tones and worn texture of the old stones we see now.
- Archeology
Timing your visit
Try to spend the night at Baalbek. Come in the afternoon - that way you can have a good lunch somewhere else before you arrive - Baalbek is no gourmet's ideal; visit the ruins; catch the effect of the changing light as the sun sets, bathing the ruins in a golden glow and turning the snow on the mountains behind to pink - ideally from the balcony of the Hotel Palmyra with a good bottle of Lebanese red; and wake to watch the light change again, this time from the cool, pale light of early morning to clear daylight; take a walk around the other ruins outside the main temple site and spend some time in the town before heading off to wherever you are going next.
- Archeology
Preparing to meet the gods
The flight of stairs leading up to the entrance and the hexagonal court beyond were not considered sacred ground within the temple. Rather the court was the ante-room to the mysteries that lay beyond. Here in the small recesses around the side worshippers could prepare themselves for their visit to the temple as they sat and reflected on why they had come and what they wanted from the gods.
This space is still human in its scale but after this we enter the another world - that of the great gods themselves.
- Historical Travel
The Great Court
Crossing the threshold into the Great Court you enter into a place that was dedicated to the great Eastern god, Baal, when Rome was still a village.
The Romans were very pragmatic in their acceptance of local beliefs and cults, not only permitting worship of them to continue, but often adapting them into their own pantheon.
They saw a link between Baal and Jupiter and so when they began to build their own temple complex they did so in a place that was already identified with the mightiest of all the local gods.
But Jupiter was not the only god worshipped here - the niches around the court would have contained statues of many gods and goddesses and those who came to supplicate would have sacrificed here to the appropriate deity for their desires.
Love or Fortune?
There is debate too about the little horseshoe-shaped temple outside the main complex. Known as the Temple of Venus, it seems more likely that it was in fact dedicated to Tyche, daughter of Zeus and the goddess of fortune.
Whichever it was, it is a very pretty little building, even in its dilapidated state. There is very little evidence remaining of the temple's conversion to a Byzantine church. You can only look at this one from outside a fence, one day it may be open to visitors.
- Archeology
Look closely ....
...at the carving and decoration of the Temple of Bacchus. So much of it is very fine indeed. Twining vines, burgeoning grapes, intricate friezes, a honeycomb of carving filled with portrait of various gods in the roof of the peristyle, statuary niches in the walls, delicately fluted columns, gods and mythical creatures, dancing girls and - my favourite - little winged cherubs are all exquisitely rendered, making this one of the most lavishly decorated temples known.
Later visitors have felt the need to add their own touches. As in so many ancient ruins, there is graffiti dating back a hundred years and more. And then there are the two large plaques commemerating the visit of Kaiser Wilhelm to Baalbek in 1898 - kings must always leave their mark.
- Historical Travel
Wine and revelry
Carvings of grapes and vines, angels and nymphs are the main ornamentation of the Temple of Bacchus, celebrating his place in the Roman pantheon as the god of wine and excess - though there is some suggestion that the temple may in fact have been dedicated to Venus - the goddess of love.
Whomever it was for, it is the most stunning building. Remarkably complete, it stands lower than the Temple of Jupiter and appears to be dwarfed by that huge temple. Get up close though and you realize just how big it really is. You also realise how well preserved it is, even the roof of the peristyle, with its elaborate carvings remains in sections.
- Archeology
The biggest temple of them all
To think that the six columns standing on the enormous high podium of the Temple of Jupiter are the sole remnants of the 54 that encircled the cella, or interior hall, makes you realize just how huge this temple must have been. That these six are still standing, despite the several earthquakes that have rocked the region during the intervening centuries is nothing short of miraculous.
Very little else remains of the temple, the stones having been long ago used bt the Byzantines for the basilica they built over the Great Court, and the later Arab conquerers for their fortifications. No matter - these six pillars are the image of Baalbek you will take away with you, stand at their base and be awed.
- Archeology
Around the back
The columned corridor (peristyle) around the inner temple (cella) of the Temple of Bacchus is virtually complete. Only on the south side does it show the ravages of time and earthquake with virtually all of pillars missing or fallen. One column leans drunkenly against the cella wall. It looks precarious, but the Scottish artist, David Roberts, whose paintings sparked a huge revival of interest in the Holy Land in the 1840's, painted a view of the temple with the pillar just as we see it today.
- Archeology
Before you leave ...
... the temple complex, take some time to visit the museum. This is situated in a long vaulted tunnel that actually runs underneath the Great Courtyard. The museum contains some good archtiectural pieces and a few nice statues but most of these objects have been move to Beirut. There is agood model of the complex and lots of information on large boards. Having walked around the site and seen the ruins, the boards of information will have more meaning, I think, than trying to take it all in beforehand.
The lighting is very dim, and, this being Baalbek, there can be powercuts which force the museum to close. Should this happen, you can ask for a re-entry ticket to come back later or the next day if you are staying overnight.
- Museum Visits
Too big to move
Going out of town, past the Hotel Palmyra, you come to the Roman quarry that supplied the stone for the ancient city and the temples.
What you have really come to see here is a gargantuan hewn block of stone, still embedded in the ground, so enormous that it defeated any efforts to move it.
Local legend says a woman touching the stone will be made fertile, and one of its names is Haja el-Hubla (Stone of the Pregnant woman).
- Archeology
The lion's mouth
As you come down the stairs from the platform of the Temple of Jupiter you realize the huge scale of this structure - the gigantic blocks of stone used to build it are estimated to weigh more than 1000 tons each.
Along the terrace below is a section of the lion frieze that surmounted the pillars. Now you can get up close and see the magnificent art of the stonemasons who carved this decoration that was placed 20 metres up and yet is as meticulous in its detailing as if it were to be seen at eye level.
- Historical Travel
the Temple of Bacchus
After passing throught the temple of Jupiter, down a flight of stairs, yu get to the most intact temple of Baalbeck: it's the temple of Bacchus, which is also referred to as "the little temple". Little only in comparison with the much bigger temple of Jupiter, but large otherwise. Let's only say that the little temple is much larger than the acropolis of Athens. The temple is finely decorated, and to enter its inner sanctuary you must walk up a flight of thirty steps with three landings. In the past the temple, inside, would have been dark and mysterious, lit by oil lamps which cast their light on the temple statues.
Address: Baalbeck
Directions: inside the Acropolis
Baalbeck, sun city
The Baalbeck site or Heliopolis (city of the sun) in the Beeka Valley has the most impressive Phoenician, Roman and Greek temple ruins of the Middle East.
Entrance to the ruins is via the monumental staircase leading to the Propylaea with a portico flanked by two towers and a collonade along the facade.
The first court, before entering the Main Court is the Hexagonal Court.
We entered early morning, when there were not many visitors yet and the temperature was just nice.
Entrance 4.000 LL
Directions: In the Beeka Valley, 86 KM north east of Beirut.

Baalbeck, overview Great and Hexagonal Court
In the Great Court or Sacrificial Courtyard stood once a Byzantine basilica, but is cleared to show the original state with the monumental altar flanked by ornamental pools for ritual washing. In the past the court was surrounded by a collonade of 128 rose granite columns.
At the west end, the blocks of the great steps have been restored and lead up to the platform of the temple of Jupiter.
When we walked in the Great Court a schoolclass entered with a megaphone, so the early morning tranquility was gone.

State of Emergency Declared in New Zealand After 7.1 Magnitude Quake
WELLINGTON, New Zealand—A state of emergency was declared in New Zealand's second-largest city of Christchurch after a 7.1 magnitude earthquake hit 19 miles west of the city early Saturday morning local time.
Buildings, houses and infrastructure were seriously damaged after the quake rocked the city and outlying areas at 1636 GMT Friday. Numerous aftershocks ranging between magnitude 4 and 5.5 continue to shake the region. Power is expected to be returned to 90% of the city by dark but areas remain with no drinking water or sewage facilities. Residents are being asked not to use phones except for emergencies and to conserve water, and a curfew has been imposed on the central city.
"The damage is very, very significant. An early estimate from Treasury is a couple of billion dollars worth of damage. The issue really is a lot of our infrastructure is severely damaged; the water and the waste water is going to take a lot of time to sort out," Christchurch City Council Mayor Bob Parker said.
"We've been extraordinarily lucky when it comes to the citizens here, but in terms of the scale of the damage, it's absolutely immense, and we're just beginning to come to terms with the scale of what we've got in front of us at the moment," he said.
Two men in their 50s are in serious condition following the quake, and the hospital is treating a number of people with cuts and scratches or broken bones. No fatalities have been reported.
Mr. Parker added that they had only had to evacuate a small number of people at this stage but impending bad weather was causing concern.
The Metservice is forecasting gale force winds to hit the region early Sunday morning and these are expected to be accompanied by showers.
A spokesperson for the Prime Minister's office said the government will offer whatever assistance is necessary to help the people of Christchurch and the wider Canterbury region get back on their feet.
"It could take months before all the damage from the earthquake is properly assessed," he added.
The Earthquake Commission has estimated that damage from residential claims could total 1 billion New Zealand dollars (US$716 million) based on 100,000 claims being made, although the New Zealand Insurance Council has said it is too early to know but believed this to be a high estimate.
Christchurch resident Linley Thomas said the quake had been terrifying.
"It went for quite some time; it could have been a couple of minutes of rocking, and it kind of rumbled for quite a long time afterwards, and even now there are quite a lot of aftershocks," she said.
The earthquake, initially thought to be magnitude 7.4 but since downgraded to 7.1, was located 6 miles below the surface. This is New Zealand's largest earthquake in a populated area since the Napier earthquake in 1931.
Christchurch is on the east coast of New Zealand's South Island and has a population of about 350,000; based in the city are some of New Zealand's largest listed companies, including dual-listed Kathmandu.
The city, businesses and outlying farms are now assessing the damage and trying to get services back to normal.
Global dairy giant Fonterra Co-Operative Group said in a statement that there had been some superficial damage at its Plains' site but its other South Island plants were unaffected and it didn't expect the supply to be impacted.
"While some farmers cannot milk because they have no power it is expected the 90% of power will be restored by this evening. There is minimal damage to the Port of Lyttelton and we don't expect any delays to shipping."
Federated Farmers North Canterbury provincial president Neil Stott said grain silos had fallen over and split open and they were having to find storage for the grain before bad weather hits. He said some farmer water supplies had also been damaged, causing flooding.
The Port of Lyttelton, the main trade gateway to the South Island, is believed to remain operational.
Port of Lyttelton Chief Executive Peter Davie said: "We've got quite a bit of damage, in particular to pavement and behind the wharves. It looks like tens of millions of dollars of damage. But, at this stage we think the port should be operational. We are just going to go in under the wharves to check."
Christchurch-based and NZX-50-listed Ryman Healthcare Managing Director Simon Challies said the earthquake had very little impact on Ryman Healthcare facilities, with no building damage and no injuries in its five facilities for the elderly. Ryman houses some 1,000 elderly people in Christchurch.
He said all facilities were without power and water, but staff were coping well. "Fortunately, it is a sunny day in Christchurch and quite warm."
He said he was waiting for a report from building inspectors regarding the company's headquarters in the central city. "The building is still standing, but we can't go inside until it is cleared." He said they have been told to stay out of the central city as most roads have been blocked off by police.
NZX-50-listed Pyne Gould Corp., PGG Wrightson and Kathmandu all told Dow Jones Newswires that they believed their offices were unaffected by the quake.

We decided to take a day off from Orlando during Spring Break and this was the only hotel I could find on the beach that had room.
We stayed in a room with no kitchen, and while it was clean, it was definitely showing some wear. The rooms were small, but the large closet meant that at least there was space to put your luggage out of the way. The bathroom was also tiny and the bathroom faucet dripped constantly.
It was not bad - no bugs, good service, clean, good beds. It just needed more frequent maintenance/a little freshening up.
Location - awesome. Pool - needs more deck chairs, but otherwise okay. Please offer wifi - makes a world of difference for cranky teenagers.

The game takes place in the Shippuden story arc. The game has a large number of characters with some evil and others good. In the Adventure Mode the narrative is on the ninjas Sasuke and Naruto.Here the players will explore in a very beautiful manner such that the small and essential fights. The story is in such a way that the game is easy to learn and figuring things out is not difficult even for first timers. You will like the way the story is told at the end of the game you will pity the characters because you are too well versed with the game they cannot beat you up.
In the Adventure Mode the fights are worth waiting for. Though at times it can be tiresome reading and waiting for the some minutes for the explanations. Some of the battles that you can engage in are more than multiple phases and the characters have some special powers. The game engine does a lot of fighting on the game; it however pisses off because you do not have control over the characters. The Adventure Mode has a number of side quests, you also have the option to go back and play the games you did not play well previously. It is sad to note here that you have to find and collect tokens before accessing the battles that you have already won. And this makes it tiresome before you get to the fun part of the game. In this mode there are plenty of pretty narrative portions that you have to explore and they end up wasting time.
There is the Free Mode which is quite long and you will spend endless hours on it. However to play this mode you must unlock all the characters. The aim of this game is to fight as much as you will enjoy more if you play the game in a crowd. If you want the game to pick up, all you do is press on the buttom, the attack, one ranged, jump or even a block button. You can change your moves by using Chakra and this is basically Narutos description of Mana and you can use it to vary your basic moves. Therefore you can use Chakra to make moves like the jumps, dodging and even throw ranged weapons, when you merge the non-powered and Chakras powered attacks, the game becomes very interesting.
Chakra can do a lot of things in the Ultimate Ninja Storm. You can use them to intensify the battles, and you can use a number of characters to reduce the enemy stats, boost their characters and even directly injure their enemies. In this game the publisher has captured a feeling of cartoons and while playing the Adventure mode, you are in one of the best fun fighter games I have seen in my life.

A combination of two well-loved geek creations, Lego and Star Wars, the game is definitely an eye catching experience. Its characters, borrowed from the Star Wars movie trilogy, are depicted as Lego pieces. The game concentrates on the on the events that took place in the Star Wars trilogy: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
Using a third person view, the game is easy and direct. Its missions follow the original movie plot. The player begins with the destruction of the Death Star, training with Yoda and fighting Darth Vader. It continues towards the transfer to the New Death Star where the player successfully escapes. There are still lots of interesting missions. They range from easy to difficult. An example would be saving the Rebel base on Hoth from the AT-AT walkers and heading a troop against enemies who want to control the Imperial shield generators. All missions are straightforward, although there are a lot of obstacles before a mission is accomplished.
A player may choose to invite a friend and play in a cooperative game. In this mode one can gain access to different secured contents of the game. It is a fun-filled game minus the actual violence other action games offer; Lego characters arenÂ't really suited for these violent scenes, anyway. Studs where treasures in the earlier versions of the game, similarly, they are still needed in this version, and these studs are useful in unlocking game contents. There are also Minikits in this version and they allow players to access game vehicles.
The whole game is backed up with a high quality cinematic sound effects and sound tracks. It gives the feel of Star Wars movie in a game. Although there are no dialogues, the game is still catchy as it leaves the player with the task of imagining what the character might be talking about. Its animation and cut scenes are expertly done. Unfortunately the limited camera controls make the game flat and nondescript, a minor setback for a true Star Wars fan.
This family friendly action game gives its player loads of fun from start to finish. Younger and older players alike who are not looking for a deep plot or frantic action will find Star Wars II challenging and exciting.

SimCity 4 (PC) - 28 reviews
Super Gamer Dude
PC Games
SimCity 4 has a straightforward idea: construct and run a city, it's just as direct as that. There are three game modes and each has its own function. In Mayor Mode the player controls the volume of civic works to be done. There is also a God Mode which permits players to form the city's terrain. The third mode, My Sim mode, allows players to bring in Sims from The Sims game. It's not a problem if a player does not have a Sim as there are custom Sims provided for them. Most of the Sims contents are located in a fold-out control panel in the lower-left corner of the window and other tools are just along its left hand side. The newest addition to SimCity game play is that of regions which are separated into several plots of land for possible city locations, allowing the players to create contrasting types of districts. These communities can propose deals and share resources with each other.
The concept, city construction and management, may sound bland but actually the simulation is very challenging. Three types of tenant occupy the city, each type having a diverse subgroup: residential, commercial and industrial. To add more, there are three economic levels: low, middle and high. Successful city management depends on the proper manipulation of these factors. It seems easy but actually it's not. Finally the game's goal is to make sufficient funds and to keep the city growing while providing sufficient social services to your Sim population.
Newbies are welcome in this game. However, they may find its manual and the tutorials a setback: neither gives information on how to play the game. It simply shows what can be done, but there are no specific instructions on the dynamics of the game. A newcomer may want to study the game all by his self and still find this game very engaging. The tutorials may be focused on veteran Sim gamers and its new features, yet it looks that it tackled only the very basics of the game.
Sim City 4 has maintained the fun-filled atmosphere omnipresent in its previous installments. Players will be once again hooked to the Sim World. And try to strike balance between gaining money, expanding the city, and providing services. All functions of the master builder are all in your control.
To close with, this game will simply let out the leader in every player. A unique characteristic only this game can give.

F1 Race Stars PS3 - 28 reviews
Super Gamer Dude
PlayStation 3
F1 Race Stars for the PS3 is a Formula One spin-off game, and the first kart racer in the series, which is developed by Codemasters. It was released on November 13, 2012 in the United States, and three days later in Europe. The game is based loosely on the real life Formula One 2012 season, and features all of the drivers and teams that actually took part in competition that year. Furthermore, it adds two new teams and four additional drivers. Despite decent graphics that give the game a cutesy feel that is reminiscent of most kart racers, it seems that Codemasters should have stuck with their usual (and hugely successful) series of racing games. Gameplay is somewhat frustrating and very monotonous, giving you the sense that you're playing the same thing over and over again.
The graphics for F1 Race Stars aren't too bad. In fact, the in-game caricatures of the 24 drivers that started the 2012 Formula One season in real life are amazingly precise, and easily recognizable. The tracks and background are pretty to look at, and the cartoon like animations are right on target. Tracks are featured from around the world, offering a good array of scenery that you might would give some level of entertainment and replay value.
Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case with F1 Race Stars. For example, while most kart racer games add a drift feature to add an element of skill to an otherwise simple racing game, F1 Race Stars makes you really feel like you're overusing the brake. While this may seem a bit more realistic than sliding all over the place, realism isn't the point of a game like this. If the cartoon graphics don't give it away, a statement that the game is meant to provide "stimulation, not simulation" by the creating company, might. Cars have poor acceleration overall, which ends up making games feel frustratingly slow-paced. It doesn't help that each race is often over five minutes in length.
Something else that seriously slows game speed down is the pit-stop feature. During the game you can acquire powerups, which come in the form of boosts or bubbles. The bubbles have slightly different effects that are exactly like certain powerups from Mario Kart games; red bubbles home in on the driver in front of you, yellow bubbles fly in a straight line and bounce of obstacles, and blue bubbles sit on the track and wait for someone to hit them, causing the driver to spin out. Taking damage from powerups will slow your car down, so you have to stop in pit stop locations (there are usually a couple on each track) to get your car fixed. It's simply tiresome.
The game ends up having little replay value, either. The teams and drivers have only slightly different abilities that end up having next to no impact on the actual gameplay. The tracks, while pretty enough, start to feel like you're playing the same thing again and again. F1 Race Stars was given a 61/100 by the aggregate ratings organization Metacritic, and this relatively low rating was well deserved.

Spectrobes: Origins (Wii) - 28 reviews
The plot of Spectrobes remains dull and even predictable. Its characters are boring and if you have played the other Spectrobes series, you can expect that you will find similar twists in this game. However, the graphics have improved in this series and the spectrobes or the creatures that battle with human masters against the monster krawls have become more attractive in terms of color and presentation.
The main characters in this game are Rallen and Jeena. They are spectrobe masters and members of the Nanairo Planetary Patrol who are out to get rid of the ruthless krawl monsters. The game starts by your chosen character getting sucked to the planet Wyterra. Spectrobes develop from mere fossils to being full grown creatures. You need to incubate them and nurture them with the items you have collected to boost their health. When they are fully developed, you can assign them to be combatants or attack dummies. Child spectrobes can be assigned for unbolting doors and collecting things. You can also have them solve puzzles while you explore and battle against vicious monsters around.
The combats are action-packed and can be safely considered fun. The controllers are also motion-sensitive and can make this game enjoyable. There is also a variety of weapons that you can choose from but the battles are lame and the krawls are predictable and easy to topple. Some areas can be difficult especially with boss battles but winning against them requires more luck than skill. Leading the spectrobes in battles sometimes require you to repeat attack commands because they can be trapped or just witness the whole action while you are being attacked.
Another downside of this game is that it does not allow you to customize the skills of the spectrobes thereby stopping you from implement a strategic plan to successfully win the game plus it requires lots of leveling up with insignificant rewards. There are also mini-games along the way but they are not exciting enough to enhance the game. You can also opt to engage a friend in or out of the action but he will have limited controls to the spectrobes which can be frustrating. The movement of the camera can also be disappointing because while it constantly follows your character, it usually blocks out your game mate.
As a whole, Spectrobes: Origin has impressive graphics especially with the environments and colorful spectrobes. The entire game can be completed in 25 hours. It has soothing music that allows two players to play the game at the same time and the battles can be averagely exciting. The major downside of this game is that it failed to take Spectrobe to a higher level considering that it is already on console and no longer on a handheld set.

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (Wii) - 28 reviews
The problem with this super popular game is the it constant use of motion controls and it gets tiring fast. The flat, semi-lifeless visuals and frequent frame-rate drops, and at times the camera can be problematic. But in contrast, the story is original and entertaining, the camera generally does an excellent job with the action scenes. There are more exciting chases and exciting boss battles.
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows may make it perfect to critics if not for their over-dependent with motion cameras and their boring use of visuals. Thanks to its solid, original story and many thrilling scenes that make this game an interesting one.
The entertaining introduction throws you right into the midst of an inevitable circumstance. The forces of SHIELD are fighting a losing battle and at the same time trying to invade New York. But despite all of the fights, Spider-Man tries to find MJ. In the scenes, MJ struggles with Peter for using his black suite. Flashes back to four days prior appeared, when Venom attacked Spider-Man and part of the suite that gives Venom his power attached itself to our hero, Spider-Man, giving him unfathomable, indestructible strength and power. In the end, the antagonist gets defeated and everything in New York City goes back to normal. But Spider-Man's responsibility does not end because he has more problems to deal with, like all-out gang wars. The great set-up and story of the game makes you want to continue on playing and discover how things go on till the game ends
Things get complicated when using webstrike, an attack that you use to defeat enemies. Luke Cage, another Spider-Man character and Marvel Superhero, shows Spider-Man on how to deal with those gangs and their gang wars. Webstriking is an attack that can rapidly zip up an enemy and throw him in the air is an important skill to learn. From then on, you can webstrike another opponent and chaining them taking the combo. On operating a webstrike, you shake the remote sideways, an action that could make you tired as you repeat it over during a combat. Frustrating it is when using webstrike, you can also change Spider-Man's suite from red to black or black to red in this process when you don't mean to use up and down shaking motion. It will get you on your last nerve when you mean to do one of those actions when you mean to do the other one. The sporadic actions and not-so-exact controls may limit your action, or the shaking of the control per se.
Of course, Spider-Man swings and zips, leaps, soars, and dives his way all throughout Manhattan. But these frame rate may make this all-exciting-adventure into a not-so-good one. As you go along the game you see a blunt city as Spider-Man takes a swing. But alas, the game has its exciting moments, too!
The story of the game is exciting and like in the movies, they have scenes in them during side missions. Which make the game so compelling and provokes you to continue the game. In past games, you deal with selection of characters, deal with heroes or villains depending on the choice you make. With Spider-Man, you either be moral or give in and be tempted in Peter's or Spider-Man's dark side. But during the missions, regardless of the choices, the endings still depends whether you wear the black or red suite.
The game allows player to pursue multiple story lines from the show. The Adventure mode travels through a number of the different stories, allowing players to participate in more obscure chapters like The Tree of Might. Players familiar to the series, however, will have to participate in a number of stories that have already been covered in other versions. This is something that must be completed in order to unlock all the playable characters in the game.
There are numerous characters that can be unlocked, too. Characters from both Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT are included, including a number that only made brief appearances in the show. All of the different characters have special moves, and most of them are the ones that made the character stand out in the battles from the cartoon.
The battles that your player will be involved in are a lot like the previous version. As in that game, players will be fighting an opponent with the camera behind them, battling in three dimensions. The control scheme is a little bit different than most fighting games, because of that. First, there is a button for close-in melee. There is also a button for your ranged ki attacks, and a button to allow your character to charge ki. ThereÂ's a button for dashing forward, one for dashing back, and a block button that also can teleport your character, when used correctly. You can also move up and down in the air, which is one of the most important abilities from the show. Taken together, the control scheme allows players to engage in the epic battles that have made Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball GT, famous.
Multiplayer is a little bit tougher to play, since both characters have to fight with the third-person camera. That means that playing against your buddy will require a split screen, not the most ideal situation.
The Dragon Ball Z world is filled with unique characters, enormously powerful hand-to-hand combat, and storylines that keep a personÂ's interest through all the insanity. This happened week after week as people tuned into the cartoon. With the second iteration of the new style of fighting for the series, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 continues the tradition and gameplay that kept people playing the first one for so long. ItÂ's not a perfect game, but it has a lot to recommend it to Dragon Ball Z fans out there everywhere.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game (Wii) - 28 reviews
In case you didn't know it, Ghostbusters was a comedy. An action comedy, to be sure, but it was definitely there to make you laugh. This Ghostbusters video game is the same way, and you'll find yourself drawn into the game through the comedy, just like the movies were able to do. Whether it's listening to one of Egon's deadpan explanations, or Venkman's not-so-subtly couched flirtatious comments, the'Â'll have you laughing through the whole thing.
And that's another aspect about this game that really shines; the authentic voice-acting from the original actors. It really gives the comedic dialogue the proper taste that it needs, coming from the voices that just feel right for the part. By not skimping in this aspect, the product ion company has kept the heart of the game feeling true to the series.
The gameplay itself in Ghost Busters: The Video Game is outstanding. You have a bunch of potential attack types in your pack, each of which works differently against the ghosts you'll come up against. You'll use these different attack types to lower their health enough that you can use the grappling stream, and grab the ghost. Once you have it, you'll need to mash it up against the walls and floor some before directing it over a trap. This is where the Wii Remote really comes into play, because swinging the ghost around by your beam really feels like you're doing it, which is the ultimate in immersion. There are a couple of control issues, like changing weapons, that are difficult to manage on the fly, but generally the control system makes the game feel a whole lot more real, and incredible, than other Ghostbusters video games have in the past.
The story itself is delightful, and will have you investigating destructible environments that look beautiful all over New York. There are bosses aplenty, but the game never feels extremely difficult, since any time you are hurt, your teammates can heal you and help you back up.
One of the biggest issues with this title is the short playtime. It takes about 5 hours to beat, but once you're done, you'll be back for more. There is a split-screen coop mode where you can beat the game with a friend that is also a lot of fun. In addition, there is a scanning system that keeps track of all the ghosts you encounter in a ghost catalog, and you can replay the game to fill it up even farther.
All told, Ghost Busters is a title that is sure to be an instant classic for Ghostbusters fans.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up is an arcade simulation fighting video game which was released on the Nintendo Wii and the PlayStation 2. The game was released by Ubisoft in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise.
If you've ever played Wii Smash Brothers (and you should), then you know just what an incredible game that is. So, if you wanted to make the next generation of fighting game that has your particular characters in it, then you will probably want to take one of the best fighters out there and do what they did. Well, this game has done that, and now you can enjoy it.
While almost everything about Smash Bros. and Smash-Up are the same, there is the difference that in this game, if a turtle grabs a wall, he does a devastating special move to some poor opponent nearby. Otherwise, they're generally identical games, differing only in the moves that the particular characters can perform in combat and by one of the methods of victory. This difference is in the existence of a power bar that, once emptied, indicates defeat. The combat buttons, however, are all the same as for Smash Bros. Also, the method of performing special moves, of smashing the analog in a certain direction when you push the special button, is still very much a part of the game.
Even with this just being a rehashing of the original with a whole new cast of characters, there's nothing really wrong with the game itself. If you were a fan of the original Smash Brothers, or a fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, then you will probably enjoy the gameplay that you will find here. There aren't a lot of specific aspects that scream Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as you play through the game, though it does have all the main characters from the turtle's series, it seems rather generically turtlesque. There are precious few references to any TV show, movie, comic, or any other source of the Turtles prior to the game, but maybe that's to focus on the combat of the game itself.
There isn't a lot that is done wrong here, because there isn't a lot that's new here. The characters have all been around for thirty years now, the original game idea got released on the Nintendo 64 with Super Smash Brothers in the 1990s, and the company has been creating content for years. This is a combination of some really good stuff that is put together to make something even better than its parts. If you are looking for a good, fun, multiplayer fighter, then you can certainly do worse than Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up.

Released: Mar 01st, 1997
Running Time: 106
Director: Tom Stone
Company: Odyssey Group Video
Cast: Midora (aka Midori), Brooke Ashley, Jeff Jacobs, Avalon, Aleksandra Nice, Michael J. Cox, Mila (I), Lee Anna Heart, Liza Harper, Peter North, Steve Drake, Bridgette (I)
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
Although Stone's scenarios are indifferent at best, his signature shooting style is just as smooth and assured as ever -- reason number one to push this video on your quality-starved clientele. Reason two is a line-up of fresh faces whom the jizz biz hasn't yet jaded. Even if the gals aren't downright nasty (an elusive quality which Stone has yet to draw forth, but give him time), they're certainly an enthusiastic bunch who gladly gobble spoo and spread their buns for some cheeky exercise. Midori (whose tight, chocolatey ass should qualify as a national treasure) rides rodeo-style on Michael J. Cox's bucking bronco as a precursor to some tasty booty-thrusting, but for the next level in rectal entertainment check out Mila. It appears as though only a miracle could get Peter North's famous tube steak all the way up this slight blonde's rump, but the Lord works in mysterious ways! From a hilt-driven poke in her ass to a foamy wave in her hungry mouth, North slings cock like a true champ -- and Mila slurps cum like real tramp. Also, a few threesomes in the great outdoors extends a lot of visual appeal.

Sarah Jessica Parker
Sarah Jessica Parker in Current/Elliott The Ankle Skinny in Fishnet
Sarah Jessica Parker was seen taking her twin daughters Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge to school in Manhattan, New York City.
Sarah chose to wear her Current/Elliott The Ankle Skinny jeans in Fishnet with a striped blue top and gold shoes. This is the second time we have seen her out in these jeans and both times she paired the fishnet print with stripes. How would you wear these?

Can you guess whose butt this is in a pair of Siwy?
Can you guess whose butt this is in a pair of Siwy Hannah jeans in Rainstorm?
Sarah Jessica Parker in Current/Elliott The Ankle Skinny in Fishnet
Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted in yet another pair of Current/Elliott jeans while taking son James Wilkie to school in Manhattan, New York. She opted for a pair from the new collection, a pair of The Ankle Skinny in Fishnet.
Another thing that Sarah Jessica seems to be fond of quite lately is mixing prints. Her eye for mixing them is just amazing. I never would have thought to put these two together. Then again, that is why she is the style icon that she is. You can click here to purchase these jeans at SINGER22 for $200.

Who Wore it Best: Current/Elliott Rider Jean in Multi Zip Gray Camo
One of Current/Elliott's new styles, the Rider jean in Multi Zip Gray Camo, already has a couple of celebrity fans. Both Portia De Rossi and Sarah Jessica Parker have been spotted in theirs. Portia wore hers with a black tee and flip flops, while Sarah Jessica wore hers with a yellow striped tee. Who Wore it Best? You can view all of the Who Wore It Best posts here.

This topic has come up extensively when it comes to interconnecting two wireless routers. My question is quite different. Here is my current setup;
- Main Router is a Siemens DSL modem/Router to which the internet is connected.
- Secondary Router is a DLINK DIR-655
I like the network control and configuration on the DLink better than Siemens, so I want to make the Siemens act as DSL modem only and then have my DLink handle the DHCP and Wireless SSID and Guest account control on the internal/internet connection.
Really my focus is to have the DLink do all the network admin as it has way better control compared to the Siemens router.
Can it be done? How?
Any obstacles or potential gotchas?
Suggestions for improved setup?

AbstractABSTRACT: The research and development of systems for detecting, tracking, and identifying ground vehicles has historically followed separate paths based upon whether or not the vehicles are moving or stationary. As ground vehicles occur frequently in both states, any solution must address both conditions. For this effort, Matrix Research proposes the development of an approach for the simultaneous processing of moving and stationary vehicles using one radar waveform. In addition, we will investigate the use of electro-optic sensors to perform the same function. Including both radar and electro-optic data allows for a relative comparison of the two sensor modalities, as well as performance of a system that fuses the sensor data. Emphasis is placed on approaches for solving what we consider to be the most challenging issues. For radar, this is extracting ultra-high range resolution profiles from synthetic aperture radar data. For electro-optics, this is detecting stationary targets in video. BENEFIT: The anticipated benefits of this work is a unified approach for performing combat identification for ground targets that are both moving and stationary. This work will also likely result in extending feature aided tracking software to now include stationary vehicles.

Firstly, thanks for creating this plugin - surprised there appear to be no similar ones already out there.
Possible bug 1:
wordpress 3.0.3, 'custom menu images' plugin 0.2 (haven't retried yet with latest 0.5 but am just about to).
installed plugin, created new menu, added images, fine.
but then, created totally separate menu (no images) and images stored against previously created menu all dissapeared - had to add them again to previous menu, after which all was fine again.
Possible bug 2:
function get_custom_menu_image_css
adds style
font-weight: bold;
color: red;
- this is a real nuisance and seems totally unnecessary. why?
Possible design flaw:
I really hate it when plugins embedd style attributes in code like this - goes totally against good coding practice and also messes up the resulting html with large block of inline css at bottom of page code.
please, is there any way you can just leave developers to incorporate their own css styling in the normal theme css file (or, if you must, break css out into a separate (dynamic) plugin css file). ps. i realise it is fiddly to set css background image from admin code like this, but there are better ways.
for the while, i am rewriting the plugin slightly to meet my needs better (re. points above), but would really help if you could rethink the structure slightly for future versions.

Released: Apr 01st, 2005
Running Time: 87
Director: David Stanley
Company: Vivid Entertainment Group
Cast: Mario Rossi, Charmane Star, Randy Spears, Jerry (I), Grant Michaels, Savanna Samson, Nicole Sheridan, Jerry (II), Voodoo
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Those with a penchant for the avant-garde and/or Samson.
David Stanley channels David Lynch for this off-kilter tale of a meek nebbish (Voodoo) who pines after dream woman Savanna Samson, who may or may not actually exist. His problem is that he sees himself as such a loser, he can't even get her in his own fantasies. He does get waitress Nicole Sheridan toward the beginning, but she's a distraction from the dream woman, who keeps whispering to him, "Be with me," then torturously fucking other guys in front of him.
Samson does some heavy lifting here, performing two boy/girls and a boy/girl/boy with d.p. All three scenes exude heat aplenty, and will surely please couples or solo viewers. If they can get past the weirdness, that is.

Children With Special Dietary Needs
Food Allergies: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment continued...
Q. What are the symptoms of a food allergy?
A. Food allergy symptoms include skin, gastrointestinal, and respiratory symptoms. Skin symptoms include hives or an itchy red rash; respiratory symptoms include coughing, wheezing, and laryngoedema (a swollen throat); and the gastrointestinal symptoms include significant vomiting, intestinal pain, and diarrhea.
These symptoms are always temporally related to ingestion -- that means, very close in time. Often it's seconds to minutes after ingestion, but always within hours. If you drink milk today and have symptoms tomorrow, it's not related.
Q. How are food allergies diagnosed?
A. An allergist or primary care provider can do allergy testing. They will run either a skin test or draw blood, and in either sample, they'll look for IgE antibodies to particular foods. If there are no IgE antibodies to the foods, the child is likely not allergic.
Q. How do I treat a food allergy?
A. The only way to treat a true food allergy is to avoid the food in question.
Food Allergies: A Safe and Healthy Diet
Q. If my child has special dietary needs, how do I replace in their diet the foods they can't eat?
A. Generally, milk and egg allergies are fairly manageable. For example, you can boost your child's calcium intake with calcium-enriched orange juice and supplements, and there are ways to make egg-free foods. Wheat and soy are more problematic, because soy, in particular, is in so many foods.
Some of the best tools to help you replace these foods in your child's diet (and to know what's in the food you're shopping for) are from the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) (http://www.foodallergy.org/). They have sample recipes on their web site, and several great cookbooks, as well as tips for shopping and cooking, notices about changes in ingredients to particular foods, and resources for understanding food labels.
Q. How can I make sure my child with special dietary needs eats safely at school, in restaurants, and at parties?
A. Have a healthy respect for the allergy. Don't live in fear of what they're going to eat, but don't be cavalier. Help the child to know that it really takes ingestion of the food, for the most part, to cause a life-ending reaction -- not smelling or touching, it's ingestion. If you're on an airplane, it can be different because the air is recirculated, but at the park or in a restaurant, it's not going to harm your child if someone opens up a jar of peanut butter.

Cheap Soup Recipes
I thought I'd post a couple of GREAT soup recipes. My family loves them. Even the kids. Not only are they easy to make, but there nurtious and cheap!
Hash Brown Potato Soup
1 can chicken broth
1 package chicken gravy mix
1 bag of Obrien Hash brown
Wisk broth and gravy together in crock pot
Add hashbrowns
Cook on high for 5 hours.
Garnish with chedder cheese if you desire.
Note- If you need to make a bigger batch just add extra in even parts. For my family of 6 we use 3 cans of broth, 3 packs of gravy, and 3 bags of hashbrowns.
Taco Soup
1 lb of ground beed (or turkey)
1 package of Taco seasoning
1 can mix veggies
1 can minced potatoes
1 can corn
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can pinto beans
In big pot brown hamburger and drain. Mix in seasoning
Add all the veggies and beans with their juices.
Cook until heated through.
Serve over corn chips.
Garnish with chedder cheese and sour cream.
I can do both these meals for a family of 6 for under $15
Check out my custom sewing at www.sewmanycreationsks.blogspot.com
Thank you! I am definately going to give these a try. I'm always on the look out for cheap recipes :-)
I love to collect recipes and collect more than I try......I have not tried this one but found it several months ago.
3 Ingredient Vegetable Beef Soup/recipezaar.com
1 lb extra lean ground beef
48 ounces V8 vegetable juice
2 (16 ounce) packages frozen mixed vegetables
Brown and drain beef. Place in slow cooker with remaining ingredients. Cook on high 1 hour and then on low for 6 to 8 hours.
Original Poster's Note: ***I like to use spicy V-8.
I am a mom of 8 and we try and cut costs as much as we can. Soups aren't my kids favorite thing to eat, but this one they do like.
Vegetable Cheese Soup
1/2 C. Butter
2 1/2 C Vegetables (onions, broccoli, carrots, potatoes, celery, peppers, etc)
2 C. Water
2 T. Chicken Bullion
1/2 C. Butter
2/3 C Flour
4 C. Milk
1/2 lb Sharp Cheddar Cheese
In 1st pot, melt butter, saute vegetables, add water and chicken bullion and simmer 10 min or until veggies are tender.
In 2nd pot, melt butter over low temp, and flour and slowly add milk, constantly stirring. Add cheese.
Combine veggies into white sauce.
**We add mostly left overs to this. Chicken, potatoes, cheese, red peppers and onions are great together. If you use left overs, they will save you more money and use less cooking time since they are already cooked. :)

I really like the acronym replacer plugin, but it has a few showstopping glitches. First, I like to replace all acronyms, but some (like AM--Ante Meridian) are the same as regular words ("I am Mark"). If the acronym replacer were case-sensitive, I think this issue could be avoided.
Second, and more seriously, it replaces acronyms inside HTML tags. For example
<img [...] title="XHTML Compliant" /> will be represented as
<img [...] title="XHTML Compliant" /> which is completely invalid.
