For the domestic market in India, anybody and everybody happily places a sticker saying 'organic' on anything they want, after all this NPOP, NSOP and certifying agency system!
As with most such things, it starts with anecdotal personal experiences, and then it moves into research. This, therefore, was no different . . .
For years now, one has been keeping one's eyes open for organic agri-products while travelling around the country. It has usually, been a pleasure as well as an education to look deeper into such discoveries, meeting people. They are really trying to keep pesticides and chemicals out of the growth chain, including the water being used. Typically, this has been an open experience, with people proud to show off their efforts. This is true from the Sunderbans to Mountain Kerala to Garhwal to Jodhpur, and more. However, of late, one has also observed the proliferation of signboards pointing to 'certified' organic farms, which on enquiring do not permit visitors inside.
Retail outlets in larger cities now devote increasingly more space, especially, in affluent areas for 'organic' products. Spices, tea, coffee, coconut, cereals, eggs, vegetables, fruits, juices and more—pretty much everything now has an 'organic' option available on the shelves, and it seems to cost a lot more too. The problem lies in the fact that somewhere in the fine print you can spot 'like organic' or 'nature organic' or even 'organic approved'. Whether processed and packaged or sold fresh, there is still no clarity on the subject. So, it is pretty much about trusting the seller and parting with more money.
What has become even more visible of late is the term 'organic' being pasted on or over-printed onto the packaging of processed food imported into India. It is increasingly obvious that the original label, which may be in another language, has nothing to do with the product being organic. It has been added on by some entity usually as unverifiable as the sticker with the alleged importer's provenance next to it.
There is more. Packaged breakfast 'cereals', amongst the most industrialised and mis-nomenclatured of all readymade convenience foods ever invented, are an example. Eggs in pretty cartons with little holograms pasted on are also promising in not just organic qualities, but also yellower yolks and browner skins.
So what's really organic, to start with, in India? To start with, legally only those food products, which have had their production certified as per the National Programme for Organic Production (NPOP) as laid down by the Government of India, can use the term 'organic'. Requirements vary by crop and product. They require intensive record-keeping and tracking, non-usage of a variety of chemicals for a number of years, and strict segregation, as well as, control at all stages in the production chain. This would include even the transportation and storage aspects—a truck used to carry non-organic produce, for example, would not be valid for organic food without serious cleaning up—organically. If a cold storage or vegetable or fruit shop does not clearly segregate organic from non-organic, then certification is at risk.
(This has, incidentally, been a mixed blessing for the smaller farmers. On one hand, they can join 'groups' which have moved into organic farming, thereby sharing costs and methods, and on the other hand, have to now deal with a 'system' that is as yet far from perfect).
Next, is an accreditation system—there are dozens of such certifying agencies in India. Obviously, where there is going to be competition of this sort, there is going to be room to manoeuvre. So every, now and then, there are reports of such agencies indulging in fraudulent practices. Luckily, they also get caught, it seems. Genetically-modified cotton being passed of as organic cotton is one such popular scam. But, by and large, as of now, the system does appear to work. These certifying agencies are supposed to not just grant certification to farmers and others in the business of organic products but also carry out regular verifications. They are supposed to do this under the NSOP (National Standards for Organic Production).
Finally, there are the entities in the business of organic products. They ensure that the land used is fit for organic farming. They are also responsible for sourcing seeds and natural fertilisers. All of them need to be certified and that's where the issue comes—as of now, unlike in other countries, there is no single 'mark' or 'logo' which provides a single-point re-verification on this for the eventual customer. Nor is there a requirement that the product or packaging (or even advertising) for the domestic market has to carry details of the certification under the NPOP or NSOP—as yet.
So, what happens is that for the domestic market in India, anybody and everybody happily places a sticker saying 'organic' on anything they want, after all this NPOP, NSOP and certifying agency system. Obviously, for the export market, documentation is strong enough to cover this lacuna; otherwise the NPOP/NSOP would lose the rest of the world as a customer.
But when it comes to the Indian customer, pretty much anybody from anywhere in the world, or domestic, can happily put the word 'organic' on it. That's the real and simple truth as on date. And there does appear to be a bit of a racket in this—after all, it is the same ministry of agriculture that is involved, which is also pushing non-organic farming methods and products. So the conflict is clear and there for anybody to see.
What is the solution? Well, other than sitting with the retailer and getting her to explain the complete chain, not much else. Yes, there are shops and outlets which have built up a reputation over the years, but they are few and far between. They are in danger of being hidden by the louder and brighter smart alecks in the game. But at this point in time, if that package or display says 'Organic', then some amount of re-verification is certainly in order. Some how!
Governor K Sankaranarayanan, who is complying with the RTI Act in Maharashtra refused to comply with the same in Goa (as he hold both posts) like his predecessor Dr Sidhu. The High Court, in a judgment on 14th November, however declared that the Governor does come under the ambit of the RTI Act in Goa as well
In a major embarrassment to the Goa Raj Bhavan, the Bombay High Court at Goa on Monday ruled that the Governor of Goa is a public authority and come within the ambit of the Right to Information (RTI) Act.
Pronouncing the much-awaited judgment on 14th November, the High Court held that the Governor enjoyed no immunity from the RTI Act and the public information officer (PIO) at the Goa Raj Bhavan is duty bound to furnish information sought under the Act.
Earlier in August, a Division Bench of the Bombay High Court at Goa comprising Justice DG Karnik and Justice FM Reis had reserved the judgment after hearing final arguments in the petition filed by Goa Raj Bhavan.
The Governor of Goa had refused to furnish information sought by Adv Aires Rodrigues under the RTI Act claiming that he is not a "public authority".
Adv Rodrigues had sought details of action taken by the Governor on the complaints filed by him against the Goa's Advocate General Subodh Kantak, under the RTI Act. Adv Rodrigues had also sought copies of noting sheets and correspondence pertaining to the processing of his complaints against the Advocate General.
The Goa Raj Bhavan in its petition before the High Court had contended that the Governor not being a "public authority" does not come within the purview of the RTI Act. The Raj Bhavan had also contended that the Goa State Information Commission had not been properly constituted and that the State Chief Information Commissioner (SCIC) could not have heard matters in the absence of another Information Commissioner.
Motilal Keny, SCIC of Goa, on 31st March, had ruled that the Goa Governor was a "public authority" and did come within the ambit of the RTI Act.
The High Court in its order however held that the Goa State Information Commission has to be a multi-member body and could not function with just the Chief Information Commissioner (CIC).
Former Chief Justice of India JS Verma, who was also former Governor had publicly opined that the Goa Governor was a public authority and did come within the ambit of the RTI Act. A similar view was also strongly expressed by noted RTI Activist Aruna Roy while she was in Goa last month.
Mr Sankaranarayanan took over as Governor of Goa in September 2011. Ironically, he has been complying with the RTI Act as Governor of Maharashtra (as he holds this post too) but in Goa like his predecessor Dr SS Sidhu, he refused to comply by the Act.
This was evident when Adv Rodrigues sought details of total expenditure incurred in 2011 by the Goa Governor's official and their unofficial visits out of the state. He was also denied information when he asked details of President of India, Pratibha Patil's visit to Goa in January this year, which the Goa Governor's declared as a personal visit. However, when Adv Rodrigues asked for the same information under RTI from the Governor of Maharashtra's office, he got detailed answers which proved that the President indeed had been on an official visit and Rs15 lakh were spent from the taxpayers' money.
Chronology of the case
29 November 2010: Adv Rodrigues had sought information from Goa Raj Bhavan under RTI, details of action taken on the complaints made by him to the Governor of Goa against Advocate General of Goa Subodh Kantak. He had also sought copies of file notings and correspondence pertaining to the processing of his complaints against the Advocate General.
30 November 2010: Goa Raj Bhavan refused to furnish the information sought.
21 December 2010: Adv Rodrigues filed a complaint against the Raj Bhavan with the State Information Commission
22 December 2010: State Information Commission sent a notice directing the then Governor Dr SS Sidhu to personally appear before the State Chief Information Commissioner on 4 January 2011.
23 December 2010: Adv Rodrigues filed a caveat before the Goa bench of the Bombay High Court against Governor Dr Sidhu anticipating that he might move the High Court against the notice issued to him by the Goa State Information Commission (GSIC) directing him to personally appear before the GSIC in connection with a complaint filed against him for not complying with the Right to Information (RTI) Act.
31 March 2011: Chief Information Commissioner (CIC) Motilal Keny held that Governor is a Public Authority and should furnish information sought by Adv Rodrigues
22 April 2011: Governor of Goa Dr Sidhu took his battle against the Right to Information Act to the Bombay High Court.
August 2011: The Bench of the Bombay High Court comprising Justice DG Karnik and Justice FM Reis heard the Raj Bhavan's petition for over four days and reserved the Judgment.
14 November 2011: Bombay High Court rules that Goa Governor's office comes under the ambit of the RTI Act.
Bankers have made it clear that Kingfisher's promoters will have to infuse Rs800 crore worth of fresh equity if they are to consider a second restructuring of existing debt even as opposition mounted to any bailout of the private carrier
Mumbai: A crucial board meeting of Kingfisher airlines last night finalised the financial results of the cash-strapped carrier which has been asked by its lenders to infuse Rs800 crore worth of fresh equity, reports PTI.
The airlines would on Tuesday file its financial results for the second quarter of 2011-12 approved by the board which met for over 10 hours here.
Kingfisher chief Vijay Mallya will hold a press conference here at 12 noon.
Yesterday's meeting is understood to have discussed various options of restructuring existing debt.
There was also speculation that a rejig of the management may take place but there was no official word on this from the airline.
Bankers have made it clear that Kingfisher's promoters will have to infuse Rs800 crore worth of fresh equity if they are to consider a second restructuring of existing debt even as opposition mounted to any bailout of the private carrier.
The bankers have asked the troubled airline to come out with a 'credible' plan.
The lenders—a 13-bank consortium led by State Bank of India (SBI), who were yet to decide on ways to soften the troubled airline's Rs7,057.08 crore debt burden, are due to meet Kingfisher management here today.
"Bankers want more information on their fleet, equity, continuation of fuel supply. Banks can come in as lenders not promoter. We will respond how it unfolds," said Pratip Chaudhuri, chairman of SBI which leads the 13-bank consortium that has financed Kingfisher.
On whether the bank will consider making fresh advances to Kingfisher, SBI managing director Hemant Contractor said, "We have to be satisfied about the viability of the company.
There is no point restructuring if the company's operations are not going to be viable.
"We have asked them to come up with some fresh funds if the banks are to at all consider their request for restructuring. We want to see more funds coming from the company itself..." Mr Contractor said. SBI has the largest exposure to Kingfisher—Rs1,400 crore--among the lenders.
Amid the debate over bailout for Kingfisher, SpiceJet chief Neil Mills said the government should not use taxpayers' money to revive a private sector company.
On his part, Mr Mallya said he is not seeking taxpayers' money.
"No bailout involving taxpayers' money. V want working capital management assistance." he said in his latest tweet.
The debt-ridden airline continued with flight cancellations for the eighth straight day. The airline did not operate at least 40 flights on Monday.
With prime minister Manmohan Singh saying that the government would consider ways and means to help his airline come out of the crisis, Mr Mallya said in another tweet: "The Hon'ble PM is an economist and understands the importance of connectivity that goes together with economic growth. Why such debate (on bailout) then?"
He also criticised the media for using the term 'bailout' and making the matter 'so sensational'.
Amid the talk of Kingfisher seeking government assistance, Bajaj group patriarach Rahul Bajaj said on Sunday private sector should not be bailed out and 'those who die must die". Opposition parties including BJP and CPI-M have opposed any bailout for the private airline.

Ditto if we convince users to subscribe to ooo-dev. We've already seen how they freak out when they see all the extraneous discussions filling their inboxes. IMHO, there are only two ways to handle support questions from general users, in a way that will scale to this project's user base: 1) Support forums 2) Bugzilla Both have two critical qualities: A) User can focus on only their issues. They are not forced to listen to the Cosmic Weltgeist of AOO discussions just to get their question answered. B) There is a good-enough workflow set up to see if an issue is resolved or not, and to be notified when the status changes C) The user is put in contact with other, related information, that they can search through. Asking someone to send a note to ooo-dev does none of this. But I do agree that BZ is overwhelming for most users. Maybe we can improve on this? For example, would it be possible to add a "report an error on this page" to the footer of each page and have that then: 1) Verify that the user has a BZ login cookie. If not ask for login or for new registration 2) Populate a BZ bug report, with context taken from the page their were already on (URL and title) and take them directly to the relevant BZ product ("www") and component ("website"). If we do that, then reporting bugs on a page would be very easy. This would even be easier for the user than doing this as an email to ooo-dev. And it is more valuable for us because of the workflow. So a win-win solution. But is it technically feasible? I'm assuming BZ has some documented REST API or at least some form POST params we can figure out. -Rob > Then I think there can be explanation that all other support is peer support from other users and developer volunteers, with some indication about the options (wiki, forums, web site, mailing-list subscriptions, and bugzilla) and how to search/explore/choose among them.

Receive our special offers & featured listing once a month
A series of ceremonies will be held in Ubud, Bali, this coming month,
culminating in a unique Royal Cremation (pelebon) procession and Celebration of
Life, which will take place on July 15th, 2008. This Royal Cremation Ceremony
promises to be an unforgettable event for spectators.
The Ubud Royal Family will hold this ceremony for the bodies of two prominent
elders of the family:
TJOKORDA GDE AGUNG SUYASA, who was head of the Ubud Royal Family and the leader
of the traditional community in Ubud since 1976, and
TJOKORDA GEDE RAKA, who was a senior office in the police force in Denpasar
until his retirement in 1992
The effigy of GUNG NIANG RAKA, whose body was cremated in a smaller ceremony in
December soon after she died, will also now be given a full cremation ceremony.
The cremation procession and associated ceremonies are important rituals in the
Hindu rites of passage. The bodies of the deceased will be carried through the
streets of Ubud by thousands of local people on top of a nine-tiered tower
called 'bade'. The procession will be accompanied by an elaborately
decorated and venerated bull effigy (Lembu) and a mythical dragon-like creature
(Naga Banda), with a five meter-long tail. The naga is reserved for only the
elders of the Royal family and is thus seldom seen in cremation ceremonies.
Ngaben is the principle funeral rite in Bali's Hindu society which aims to
return the remains of the deceased to the elements from which all living things
are created and to release the soul from all ties to this life.
Ngaben is comprised of many rituals, culminating in the burning of the corpse
in an animal-shaped sarcophagus, as well as the burning of the cremation tower
(bade) whose sole purpose is to transport the corpse from home to the cremation
The Ngaben is not a sad event, it can even be happy, it is a way to make the
spirit of the dead happy, and to avoid disturbing him by crying. However it
requires an enormous amount of time, energy, and money! All of the relatives
and friends share the cost but often months, or even years, will be required to
gather enough money and to make the mountains of offerings involved. One
solution is for ordinary community members to join the funerals of wealthier
individuals of high caste, or to organize ngaben massal (mass cremation) among
the villagers, to reduce the costs.
In Ubud, such 'mass' cremations are held only every 3-5 years. On
15 July, 2oo8 three members of the Royal Family of Ubud will be cremated along
with approximately 70 other deceased from the local community.
This ceremony is very much a public one and visitors are welcome but everyone
is reminded to dress appropriately, with legs and arms covered, and to abide by
any instructions and announcements.
Background information for Ngaben: cremation ceremony in Bali
The Ngaben is the Hindu cremation ceremony necessary for the transition of the
soul from its body recipient to heaven when the body is dead.
In the Balinese Hindu tradition, the body is merely a microcosm recipient for
the soul. When a person dies, the spirit (atman) remains around the body. The 5
elements that constitute the body (fire, air, water, earth and void/ether) have
to return to the macrocosm and the soul released to find its way to heaven and
God. This is the purpose of the ceremonies held during the Ngaben. The soul may
go to hell (neraka) or heaven (surga). The pengabenan represents the long
process of ceremonies held before and during the cremation.
Preparations before the cremation
The Balinese calendar always rules over when events may be held and a proper
date is chosen by the pedanda (high priest). Waiting for the ceremonies to be
performed, the body is sometimes kept lying in state in the deceased's
household, but in most cases the body is buried in the cemetery. Daily
offerings are made and symbolic meals given to the corpse. Coffee and tea is
also prepared, and comb, mirror and toothbrush are left nearby. The numerous
offerings made of colorful fruits and vegetables keep evil spirits away from
the body's spirit, give pleasure to the deified ancestors, and please the gods,
especially Siwa, the God of Death.
Dozens of women, for several days, are required to prepare the offerings. Men
prepare notably the cremation tower (bade or wadah). The tower represents the
Balinese universe. First the lower world (Bhur) with the world turtle (Badawang
Nala) at its base and the two dragon-snakes around it. Above is the world of
man (Bwah) and at the top is heaven (Swah) built of little roofs like the tiers
on the temple's towers (meru).
The cremation
In the day of the cremation, the body is placed between heaven and earth in the
tower. A Bhoma (fierce-looking mask) is placed behind the tower to scare evil
spirits away. A mass of men carry the tower and the long procession begins. The
tower is turned around and around (3x) in all directions to disorient the
spirit of the dead so that it can't find its way back home to haunt the family.
The procession proceeds towards the local pura dalem, temple dedicated to Siwa
and the dead. It is accompanied, like with all Balinese ceremonies, by a
balanganjur, traditional gamelans, that will offer this repetitive music all
along the way and during the ceremonies. The body is placed in a sarcophagus in
the shape of animal.
Offerings and holy water are poured on top of it. Then begins the cremation
itself, burning the body (and also the tower in a different place). Nowadays,
help is given from fuel or gas to sustain a good fire. By the end, the pedanda
rings his bell and chants mantras to aid in the soul's release and to help it
reach heaven.
After cremation
Later on, the ashes, impurities of the body, are drawn to the sea. The final
series of ceremonies or Nyekah are held to return the soul to heaven, a few
days after the cremation day, and pacify the soul at the family temples.
New offerings are given to thank God and the family visits all the participants
to thank them as well. As a note, it is also believed that the now released
soul, after a time in heaven where it might reach oneness with God (moksa),
will return and reincarnate (samsara) in a different life.

Anybody studying/doing martial arts? which one and why do you like it and would you recommend it to others?

Martial ArtsAn optimist is someone who falls off the Empire State Building, and after 50 floors says, 'So far so good!'
-Somebody funny
I've been doing tae kwon do for 2.5 years. My husband and two sons also do TKD, and there are some classes we take as a family. (We'll all be testing for our black belts together in about 16 months!) I hugely enjoy it, and I consider it part of the "play" of TPB fitness. (Except for TKD tournament class, which is a little bit of hell.) I hugely enjoy doing forms, and there's something very empowering about breaking boards with my bare hands and feet. Of course, there's sparring, and all the kicking/punching drills we do to help us with our sparring. My husband and sons love that part of TKD; while I don't love it, I do like how I've gotten much stronger and faster. And, admittedly, I feel like a total badass.F, 44 years old, 111.8 lbs, 4 feet 11.5 inches (yes, that half inch matters!)
**1st place sparring, AAU TKD regional qualifier, 2/15/15 - It's damn good to hit like a girl!**
**First-ever 5K race 11/28/13: 37 minutes, 18+ seconds, no stopping**
I loved Krav Maga because it's raw and practical. I want to get into Systema because it's ... well, just watch some videos about it.You lousy kids! Get off my savannah!
I've also been doing Taekwondo for the last 6 years. I had to lay off it for a year and a half after an injury but am now back at it hard.
As with a lot of martial arts, most workouts are instense, but that can be the fun of it. Frankly at 50 I'm in better condition than I was 10 years ago and having fun doing it. When I started I was terrible at it but it reflected my overall condition. Now I can do full weight single leg squats, do more push ups than a lot of the teen agers, and energy levels are up overall. As with anything, you have to do it for the right reasons and enjoy it.
As an aside, I would agree with Krav Maga being more raw and practical....personally I'd love to find a good school close to me and supplement what I'm doing.
Practiced tai chi for 10 years. Wanted to learn Baguazhang, but just couldn't get the circle walking down. Tried kung fu for awhile, but my brain couldn't wrap around learning tai chi forms AND kung fu at the same time. So I just stuck with tai chi, which by the way IS a martial art.
Been taking Krav Maga for about 7 months now. Really like it.
I've done martial arts off and on for years. Several years of Shaolin kung-fu and a few more of Tae Kwon Do. Unfortunately, I have to move every few years for my job so it is hard to progress too far these days.
My method for picking an art these days is too find something interesting with a school that feels right. I've gotten past the point of caring how "practical" an art is. The truth is, 99% of us will never get into a fight anyway and in that remaining 1% of the time fighting back might just get you killed. It certainly doesn't hurt to know how to take care of yourself and it is great for your confidence, but I'd go with something you like, not whatever the martial arts flavor of the month is.
Jeet Kune Do, MMA, ECQC (some form of it), BJJ.If you have a problem with what you read: 1. Get a dictionary 2. Don't read it 3. Grow up 4.

Kenpo for 26 years now. The key is to find a school or an instructor that you really like, style really isn't as much of a concern in my opinion. Besides, in 26 years I've had to use what I know exactly zero times."Suffer no guilt yee who wield this in the name of Crom"
Quote on the Father's Sword
There are striking styles - like boxing and TKD- which utilize various kicks,punches etc - and there are grappling styles like wrestling where you try to subdue an opponent with throws, holds and locks. And of course the ones that are a blend of the two,
Some people prefer one style over another. Some also focus on competition
Although personally, for self defense, I prefer a style that utilizes a combination of striking and grappling, it is unlikely you will use it for that purpose. I think it is more important to find a school/instructor that you like - most will let you sit in on a class or two.
Warning signs - too much focus on sparring or competition, any place that says you can get a black belt in less than 5 years or the emphasis is on getting students through the belt system, any place where the instructor seems to like inflicting pain or any place with secret pass words :-).
Things to look for, calm, well organized classes that show respect for the student and instructor, lots of fitness type activities and lots of drills. Good martial arts are boring and repetitious at the lower level- good for discipline.

+1 for Krav Maga. Haven't trained or studied in years, but I did have to use it twice and I walked away both times unscathed. That may have been just as much luck or the fact that I've been known to pack an impact baton...Josh Vernier, CPT

Making a babysitting profile is much like composing a resume or a CV. For prospective employers, a babysitter's profile is the first introduction to potential employees. Being honest within the profile is immensely important, because parents are trusting babysitters with their children; if hired with false attributes in your profile, it can make getting a recommendation for later jobs much more difficult. Keeping a babysitting profile upbeat and honest is the most effective path to getting the babysitting job desired.
Create a tone that exemplifies your personality. If you are naturally bubbly and outgoing, make sure to convey that with your sentences. That is not to say exclamation points should come after every sentence; that appears fake to readers. Instead, when a profile has a section to explain why you want to be a babysitter, include information about your naturally ebullient nature and how well that connects with children.
Compile all your experience with children. If you have volunteered in a classroom, taught swimming lessons, helped a neighbor for an afternoon, include these in your profile. Experience is everything when filling out a profile. But always remember to be honest; do not make up experience. It will be immediately obvious.
List activities you either have done or plan to do with children. Parents want to see that your ideas of spending time align with theirs. If you enjoy being outdoors, playing or creating games, or drawing and coloring, make sure potential families know this. The difference between you and someone with the same level of experience can be how well your personality aligns with what the parents themselves are like.
State what you are looking for in a family. Be honest about how far you are willing to travel, what pay you will accept, and how many children you are willing to watch in the profile. Nothing is worse than getting to an interview and finding that pay rates do not align or that the hours are not enough. When filling out your profile, there are ways to make it clear what you are willing to work for; most sites either have sections for this information or you can include it in the general "About Me" section.
Read other babysitter's profiles to see what kind of information they list and how to edit your own. Also, find a babysitting website that offers profiles for potential employers as well. It is just as important to understand what a family is like before agreeing to either a job or an interview. Although reading through other profiles or potential employer's profiles may not seem like it will help you to fill out your own, it does. Once you see how families write about what they are looking for, you can tailor your voice and information.

Maybe becuase sometimes, you may believe you're no match, especially when it comes to looks. Maybe you think if you approached, she'd expect something better, like a better-looking man. I'm not saying, you're unattractive but maybe that discouragement is what does it.00|00|0
Yeah that's partly why. Also I know there's competition so you're right on she must expect a better-looking guy.

Instead of doing the impossible and naming my single favorite game of 2012, I'm going to list all of the ones I played instead, and show you some of my favorite tunes from each. They'll make the blog look longer than it actually is!
Separated into two parts to make loading faster, here are games of 2012 that I played!
Persona 4 Arena
I loved the continuation of Persona 4's story present in P4A, and continue to believe that Arc System Works is the best at integrating story into their fighting games. Unfortunately, because of Soul Caliber V, I haven't put as much time into learning exactly how P4A works. My friends are just less interested in joining me for a 2D fighter. It's too bad, but I hope to find a buddy to challenge eventually so that I can master this gorgeous game.
Borderlands 2 (PS3)
My brothers and I marathoned the first Borderlands in a week, and continued to play it and enjoy it throughout its DLC life. Unfortunately, we're all in college or working now and finding time where four of us can play together has been difficult. Winter break gave us the time we needed however to finally finish the campaign, and begin our second playthrough. The game is such an improvement over the first in every way! I play as Zero, a sniper in the first playthrough, a flying melee ninja in the second, and the difference between the trees is astounding. I think my favorite part of the game, next to Handsome Jack, is the amount of detail and variety in all of the guns. The reload animations especially are a sight to behold!
Torchlight 2 (PC)
Torchlight 2 came out only a little before Borderlands 2, and fortunately a little before my co-op group became really, really busy. As a result, we had ample time to wean hours and hours of old fashioned co-op out of Torchlight 2. I played as an Outlander in my 1st playthrough (with my cousins), and a berserker in my second, which was originally going to be with one of my friends until he flaked and I ended up playing with some other pals. Both classes were very different and a lot of fun. Trapping my allies with their enemies using Bramble Wall never gets old (for me at least)!
Pokemon Black 2 (DS)
As an avid fan of Pokemon (just check out my Pokemon Blog Series), I was very excited by Pokemon Black 2, and it did not disappoint! As usual, my team consisted of random Pokemon chosen on the spot of capture (Sandslash, Beartic, Amoonguss, Liepard, Accelgor, and Lunatone), and some of them even have a story behind their capture. I enjoyed the brief and occasional mentioning of my character from Black 1, and the 8 gyms, Elite Four, and catch 'em all experience remains addicting and entertaining. And the unique gym theme remixes were awesome!
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (PS3)
My yearly Call of Duty does not disappoint, and the Pick 10 system is enjoyable and deep. Many of the new maps in Multiplayer are lackluster, while there are several standouts that are enjoyable every time. Overall, I'd say it's a better collection than MW3's, and the abundant return of claymores and Bouncing Betties both returns some of the slower more methodical pacing near those corners, and makes Engineer a practical must. The campaign had its entertaining moments, complete with side missions that gave us control over several different units at once, and Zombies is great fun. I'm fortunate to have several friends to join me on weekends, so we'll be up to our necks in Multiplayer until the next Call of Duty release.
Nintendoland (Wii U)
Nintendoland, as a local multiplayer title, is the crown king this year, and likely until the new Super Smash Bros is released. Mario Chase and Animal Crossing: Sweet Day are my family's favorites, and we could play either for hours at a time (we have). I haven't touched the single-player or co-operative modes (other than Donkey Kong Crash Course), and I honestly can't see myself trying them out any time in the future. I'm just too busy playing Mario Chase and Animal Crossing: Sweet Day. Nintendoland is the Wii U's Wii Sports, showing the possibilities of the game pad in local multiplayer, while entertaining for far longer at a time. Even as our local favorites find new releases (SSB, and hopefully Custom Robo and Mario Strikers), I know we'll be popping Nintendoland in every time we've got the players.
Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale (PS3)
Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale is a lot of fun, in both 1v1 and 4 player FFA/2v2, though its infinitely better balanced for the latter. Radec, Nathan Drake, Heihachi, and Evil Cole are my favorites, and I have no doubt I'll enjoy the DLC characters- when they do eventually come around. There are some questionable decisions (only 1st player can level up characters during local play, for example), but none of them so far have been detrimental to my overall enjoyment of the game (since I'm first player ). I can't wait for a PSABR2, as I'm hoping it'll represent the same jump that Melee was from SSB64 as far as features are concerned.
Awesomenauts (PS3)
Awesomenauts has my favorite soundtrack of the year, without a doubt, and the game is up to par with its music. The 3v3 2D Moba style game is easy to pick-up but requires time and practice to master. Unfortunately for PS3 owners, Romino has only been releasing new characters on the PC, leaving us in the cold, likely thanks to update charges. It's too bad, because I gladly would have paid for DLC to support one of my favorite games of the year. Awesomenauts provides good local fun, as the majority of my favorites do, letting three of us play per PS3 (for 6 total at my house). And, luckily, as it's easier to pick up than LoL or Dota 2, and the community isn't filled with overly competitive and socially bankrupt ne'er-do-wells, it was much easier to get my cousins in on the action. If I did have to pick a single GotY, Awesomenauts would be a strong contender, thanks to its personality, aesthetics, music, and addicting gameplay.
Asura's Wrath (PS3)
Asura's Wrath is crazy. Like, really fucking bonkers.
Paper Mario: Sticker Star (3DS)
While not the traditional RPG fans of The Thousand Year Door might have been looking for, SS provides proper on the go chunks of great entertainment. The humor is clever, the puzzles and battles both require astute observation more so than many games in recent memory, and the battles are fun and never frustrating. While I'm as eager for a huge TTYD-esque Paper Mario title, SS left me satisfied and eager for more. Next to Awesomenauts, SS also features some of my favorite tunes of the year!
Chasing Aurora (Wii U)
The Miiverse community especially seems let down by Chasing Aurora, but for anyone who has been following the development and developer's commentary about the game, Chasing Aurora delivers exactly what it promised, "a unique multiplayer action game" about the "dream of flight." Multiplayer being the key word; single-player aficionados hoping for a Journey-like experience need not apply. This game excels as a local couch title, and playing the Freeze Tag mode with five people is fun unlike anything on other consoles. If you've got $7.50 and a handful of friends, you can't go wrong with Chasing Aurora.
New Super Mario Bros U (Wii U)
New Super Mario Bros U is a very different game when played with one or two players. By myself, I found the game far more challenging and less forgiving than platformers I had played recently (Super Meat Boy, Dustforce, etc.), probably because when you die, you are ejected from the level. Those extra moments of load times and animations add up, when compared to the arguably more difficult aforementioned platformers, who have you running and jumping within moments of your death. The game was frustrating, but Miiverse kept me going! Seeing other people's hints and drawings as I played, and drawing some of my own when I finally conquered a stage, or beat one the first try without taking damage, made every accomplishment seem like a community effort.
Playing with my brother, however, eased all tension completely, and we found ourselves laughing at every death, especially those caused by lacking teamwork, more than anything. Even the most difficult levels seemed less daunting with a (sometimes) dependable ally. New Super Mario Bros U is a stellar platformer made all the better by the Wii U's artistic community.
I did manage to get my hands on a few other games during 2012, but I haven't gotten a chance to play them (or play them enough). I have Xenoblade, Assassin's Creed III, Kingdom Hearts 3D, Kingdoms of Amalur, and Tales of Graces F (from this year) and Bulletstorm, Dead Island, Bioshock 2, and a number of Humble Bundle PC games I haven't finished. Those are games that will get me through the less hectic gaming months this year!

Outside Aperture is a short eight-minute fan film based on the original ending of Portal, when the Party Escort Bot was not yet added into the game to drag Chell back into the Enrichment Center. The film centers around the assumption that Chell (played by Nicole Leigh) manages to escape the Enrichment Center and has to continue surviving with various stocked food supplies and her trusty Portal Gun.
Set directly after the events of the original ending of Portal, Chell escapes the Enrichment Center and makes an effort to continue her survival. Living on stocked Aperture food supplies (mostly beans), and making daily usage of the Portal Gun, she resides inside an abandoned apartment on the Aperture campus.[1] She often suffers from paranoia, thinking that GLaDOS is still alive and searching for her.
She first reacts towards the television being switched to an automated commercial where Aperture Science advertises on recruiting Test Subjects. Moments after hearing the voice of GLaDOS on her television, she places a portal underneath the chair holding the television and another above a fan, disconnecting the wiring on the television. Afterwards, she becomes paranoid and begins to feel that she is still being monitored by GLaDOS. She immediately turns around, expecting a security camera behind her, and finds that there is nothing there.
Eventually, Chell grows weary of constantly living on beans, and searches her kitchen for a cookbook. She discovers a book for cake recipes, and begins to read as much as she can. Upon finding the type of cake she desires - the one she was promised by GLaDOS - she begins to shed a tear of joy and quickly attempts to bake it. She reaches out for flour containers and begins pouring it into a pan. Several recipes later, she finally puts it into the oven. After constantly checking up on it from time to time in anticipation, she spends her time by playing around with the portals first. After the cake is finally ready, she begins placing in the final touches, and finally tastes it.
Unsatisfied with the results as she confused salt and sugar, she decides to remake the cake. Still waiting for the cake to finish in the oven, she begins drawing graffiti of her Companion Cube and writes out what she thinks it would comment on. Alerted by the oven, she finally finds the cake ready and adds the final touches once more. This time, she adds a candle and lights it up. The film ends as she places it in the fridge after having a slice of it, and finally rests beside her ASHPD, giving a sigh of satisfaction.
- A small homage to the Combine invasion of Earth (a Citadel out the window, Combine soldiers running by outside) was originally included in early iterations of the script, but it turned out to be so obscure and on uncertain ground canonically that the team omitted it.[1]
- The mural that Chell draws in the end was written before Doug Ratmann's backstory was explained in Lab Rat. The team assumed back then that the murals were made by Chell herself, having been restored from GLaDOS' backup multiple times to do the same tests again.[1]
- The script takes into account the fact that Chell's Advanced Knee Replacement fell off after she defeated GLaDOS, as seen in Portal 2: Lab Rat.[1]
- Chell's outfit and Portal Gun were made especially for the film. The ASHPD skeleton is made of metal, while its shell is made of white-painted resin.[2]
- For the Test Chamber scenes, Nicole Leigh was filmed in front of a green screen, then added into Portal footage.[2]

amyguz Review
An inexpensive fashion statement
This is a great watch. The mother of pearl face makes it look much more expensive. It is definately a wide band (as pictured), but that is exactly what I was looking for. You can make it a little longer or shorter depending on how you snap it. I get lots of compliments :)
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? Exactly as pictured
- How accurate was the sizing? Very
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Great quality!

Anthony Davis, John Henson and the 10 Best Shot-Blockers in Division IJanuary 20, 2012
Anthony Davis, John Henson and the 10 Best Shot-Blockers in Division I
Anthony Davis may only be a freshman, but he has been a man amongst boys for the Kentucky Wildcats this season. He is averaging a double-double, to go along with 4.7 blocks per game, best in the nation. He has already won a game for Kentucky by blocking John Henson, another elite shot-blocker, in the final seconds of a 73-72 victory over North Carolina.
Davis and Henson are just two of the nation's many elite shot blockers. Throughout the many conferences and regions of the country, there are plenty of tall, athletic players that just love to play defense.
This love for defense shows up on the stat sheet in blocked shots, and the following 10 players are likely to show up on SportsCenter with highlight-worthy rejections.
Alec Brown (Green Bay)
Alec Brown, a 7'1" center for the Green Bay Phoenix, has incredible size and shot-blocking instincts, which may lead him to a few Horizon League Defensive Player of the Year awards, especially since he is only a sophomore.
Brown is averaging 3.2 blocks per game, and recently turned away an incredible eleven shots in a one-point win against conference foe Wright State.
C.J. Aiken (Saint Joseph's)
While C.J. Aiken is undeniably skinny (190 pounds), that doesn't prevent his 6'9" self from being a force on the defensive end. He is blocking shots at an incredible rate this season (4.3 per game), up from 3.5 from a season ago when he was just a freshman.
Aiken's offensive game has developed from just a year ago, and he could very well be one of the nation's top players by the time he leaves Saint Joseph's.
Jeff Withey (Kansas)
Jeff Withey has seen his role expand greatly this season for the Kansas Jayhawks, and the junior has definitely adjusted just fine. In just under 22 minutes per game, he is averaging 7.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and, most notably, 3.1 blocks per game.
Withey blocked six shots in a win against in-state rival Kansas State, and he swatted seven shots against Iowa State in a nine-point win.
Gorgui Dieng (Louisville)
Gorgui Dieng is a nightly double-double threat for the Louisville Cardinals, having racked up seven already this season. I wouldn't be that surprised if he had a triple-double by the end of the season.
Dieng flirted with a triple-double against St. John's, scoring 12 points, grabbing nine boards and blocking seven shots. He is averaging 3.3 blocks per game on the season.
Damian Eargle (Youngstown State)
Damian Eargle just may be the most athletic Penguin ever. He is a great shot-blocker and rebounder for Youngstown State, whose athletic teams are called the Penguins (the reason for which, I do not know).
Eargle is averaging 4.2 blocks per game, and came close to achieving a triple-double with 11 points, 11 rebounds and eight blocks against UC Riverside.
Fab Melo (Syracuse)
Fab Melo was universally declared to be a bust by the end of his freshman season, but he has been terrific on the defensive end for Syracuse this year.
Melo is the anchor of the Orange's stifling defense, averaging 3.0 blocks per game in under 23 minutes of action. Syracuse is sitting pretty at 20-0, and much of that is due to the great play of the much-improved sophomore.
Kyle O'Quinn (Norfolk State)
Kyle O'Quinn is a double-double machine and a legitimate NBA prospect given his 6'10" frame, which has allowed him to block shots on a regular basis playing for Norfolk State.
O'Quinn is averaging 3.1 blocks per game, and has blocked at least six shots on four occasions this season. His 14-5 Spartans look to be the team to beat in the MEAC, so we could very well see him in action come March.
William Mosley (Northwestern State)
William Mosley is a bit undersized for a center at 6'7", but his height hasn't prevented him from being one of the nation's top shot blockers ever since he became a Northwestern State Demon. In his freshman year, he averaged 2.5 blocks per game, increased that number to 3.4 as a sophomore, and he led the nation in blocks last season at 4.9 per game.
During his junior campaign, Mosley blocked at least 10 shots in three games, and he is averaging 4.2 blocks per game this season.
John Henson (North Carolina)
John Henson has been an impressive shot blocker throughout his career at North Carolina, and he is the defensive anchor for the eighth-ranked Tar Heels. He is also much improved on the offensive end, but his biggest impact is blocking shots.
Henson is averaging 3.0 blocks per game this season. If he can maintain that average, he will have averaged at least three blocks per game in back-to-back seasons. He blocked nine shots in the season-opener against Michigan State, and also swatted seven shots in just 21 minutes against Nicholls State.
Anthony Davis (Kentucky)
Anthony Davis has been incredible in his first year at Lexington, and he appears to be in line for many awards at the season's end. He is averaging 13.8 points per game, 10.4 rebounds per game and an outstanding 4.7 blocks per game.
Against Arkansas, Davis exploded for 27 points, 14 rebounds and seven blocks. This was his second game with seven blocks in a 10-day span. He will likely be leaving for the NBA next season, but he could lead the Wildcats to glory with his shot blocking prowess before his collegiate career is finished.
