Giants defensive back Landon Collins, who had a sensational interception return for a touchdown against the Rams last week in London, covers some Q&A with Post columnist Steve Serby.
Q: What is it like inside this year's defensive huddle?
A: It's more tenacity, and selfishness, but in the way the defense needs to be run. And hungry.
Q: What do you mean by selfishness?
A: So I had a talk [Friday], and I was like using selfishness as a way …
Q: You had to talk?
A: We have a thing called G. I. — Giants Insightful words. I talked about selfishness. We all play this game a certain way to get to where we're at now and to get to the highest level, and it's the NFL. And, everybody had that selfishness about them back in high school, college that every play they think they can make a play, or change a play, or be a playmaker. But I meant be selfish, but be selfish within the defense. So let's say, you're running a blitz, if you think you could beat him quickly inside, but you know you're outside contain, but you see that hole right there and think you can get there before the quarterback, and you know the quarterback's not a running quarterback, within the defense go get it, and be a playmaker. Change the game.
Q: So did you know Friday would be your turn?
A: Yeah. I actually was supposed to go against the Saints, but I wasn't ready (laugh).
Q: What do you mean you weren't ready?
A: I didn't know what to say, 'cause as a young [second-year] guy, I haven't seen a lot. I mean, I'm respected on the team, but I still think of myself as a young guy. These guys have five, some of 'em, eight years on me that I'm talking to. How can I really get to them and make 'em feel how I feel about this game, and how passionate I feel about it. So when [defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo] asked me Week [2] against the Saints, I was like, "Let me get the Philly game." I really asked for the Philly game because that's when I really like had an awesome game, had my first-ever interception in my career in the NFL, and from that point on, I was playing good.
Q: So did you work on your speech Thursday night? Did you write it out?
A: I didn't write it out. When you're talking to your brothers, your teammates, your coaches, it's something that has to come from the heart.
Q: How long did you speak for?
A: Five minutes.
Q: Is this in front of the whole team?
A: In front of the whole defense. And the coaches, and Coach [Ben] McAdoo.
Q: Where do you do it?
A: We do it in the fieldhouse.
Q: Were you nervous?
A: I was nervous the whole day, since I woke up (chuckle). [Spagnuolo] texted me [Thursday night]. He said, "You got it on Philly." I said, "Alright, cool." I was hoping the last Philly game, but not the first one. So we were on meetings [Friday] and I'm writing down things I want to talk about. And I talked about accountability, trust, selfishness.
Q: Who has given the best Friday talk?
A: Snacks [Damon Harrison]. It was more of like gritty, hungry, be what you're supposed to be, do what you're supposed to do, do it fast, and ball out.
Q: Tell me more about your speech.
A: I chose accountable first because you have so many OBWs — Oh By the Ways — in this defense, that if you don't know it, that one time it happens, it could change the whole game, or it could have us lose the game. So be accountable for everything you're supposed to do and everything you're supposed to know. Second was trust, it was more about we're a brotherhood, I see those guys and I know that [Jonathan Casillas] is gonna be where he's supposed to be, and [Olivier Vernon] is gonna contain like he's supposed to contain and do what he's supposed to do, and I have that trust so if I'm doing something, I know he's there, and I don't have to second-guess it, because if I'm second-guessing it, it's causing me to play slow and not doing my job to the fullest I'm supposed to be doing, and have the next guy next to me trust me and then he plays it different the next time. It's a chain link that if one cracks or breaks, everyone breaks.
Q: And selfishness?
A: Do what you did to get here and continue doing it. Don't just get lackadaisical because you made it to the NFL. There's more to the NFL than just making it. We all make it, but you also could lose it the next day. Or you could lose it in the next second.
Q: How was it received?
A: They loved it.
Q: How do you know that?
A: They came up to me and they told me, "Great speech. For a young guy." They were like, "Man, that was good."
Q: You stepped up.
A: Yeah … for a guy that don't speak. I don't speak. I speak on the field. I have to. I need to. That's the way I motivate myself. I get my mindset ready, get my guys knowing that, "I'm here, I'm ready to play." But when I'm here, I'm more of a quiet, behind the scenes guy.
Q: What's it like being a star?
A: I wouldn't call myself a star, just a player that's accountable, and knows what's going on, and is playing fast. That's what I would say. I wouldn't call myself a star.
Q: Why wouldn't you want to be considered a star?
A: I wouldn't say 'cause I'm not broadcast on TV like Earl Thomas or Kam Chancellor or Eric Weddle, stuff like that.
Q: Where do you think you rate as far as NFL safeties?
A: I know I'm in the top 10, definitely, the way I'm playing each and every down, playing fast, making the plays that I see other great safeties have made and are doing.
Q: How many times have you watched your pick-six against the Rams?
A: That day, maybe like 30 times.
Q: On the plane?
A: On the plane, yeah. 'Cause everybody sent it to me, so I watched it about 30 times (smile).
Q: What was it like watching it 30 times?
A: After you watch yourself after the first like 10 times, you just watch the other players, you watch the sidelines, you just try to listen to the stands to see like every moment what was going on.
Q: You've said you want to be known for miraculous plays. Do you actually visualize these plays?
A: I picture these moments every day. Pick sixes, forced fumbles, sacks, everything. Every game I picture myself making a great play. One great play, two great plays, any kind of way I can. Every game.
Q: Give me the most miraculous play you have envisioned.
A: A 99-yard interception return. It could be a game-changer or it don't have to be a game-changer. It could just be one of those moments and just running and hear the crowd yell all the way down the sideline. I did it once — it wasn't 99 yards, it was [88] in college [for Alabama against Tennessee in 2013]. But just to hear it. You don't hear it [during] 'cause you're zoned out. You focus on make sure nobody catches you from behind, nobody trying to come poke the ball out, or you don't trip and fall over yourself (laugh), stuff like that. You're 100 percent focused on just getting to the goal line.
Q: You never pictured the one in London, though.
A: Couldn't picture that. Never pictured that, never pictured me going sideline to sideline.
Q: Personal goals?
A: One is to be a Pro Bowler, be a first ballot to the Pro Bowl. Just be one of the difference-makers on the team.
Q: Any number of picks, tackles?
A: i don't have numbers on tackles, I always try to get over 100. Picks, at least six or seven. This is my first time making sacks, I only have two. So now that I've made 'em and I'm used to it now, try to get at least about five a year.
Q: On a scale of 1-10, how high is your confidence level right now?
Q: And last year?
A: The second half, I was more of a 7-8. The first half it was more like a 4-5.
Q: What kind of a career do you want to have?
A: I want to have a Hall of Fame career and have the chance to have a yellow jacket.
Q: You think about that?
A: Yes. I've been thinking about that since high school.
Q: What is it about you that you think gives you a chance to get there one day?
A: The way I play, my character, the passion I play with, it's not unseen. I know everything that I do is being seen and everything I'm doing is being heard and being accounted for.
Q: Do you want to be perceived as an intimidator?
A: Yes, I want to be seen as an intimidating. I think I'm accounted for a lot, 'cause I've been good so far, and I think teams have taken notice to it.
Q: In 25 words or less, describe " Jackrabbit" Janoris Jenkins.
A: Smart.
Q: Vernon.
A: Scary.
Q: Scary how?
A: Scary as in really a force to reckon with. You don't know what you're gonna get from him, like as a pass rusher, he could bull rush you, he's got all the moves, he's got everything in his category that he could do, he's just so swift with it.
Q: Snacks.
A: Monster.
Q: Jason Pierre-Paul.
A: Elusive.
Q: Casillas.
A: Savvy.
Q: Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.
A: Best athlete on the field.
Q: Victor Cruz.
A: Salsy (smile).
Q: Sterling Shepard.
A: A go-getter.
Q: Why everyone loves Odell Beckham Jr.
A: Not many people see what goes on in the locker room and stuff like that, just the character he is, the personality he has, and then the way he switches it to the field, is "I'm the best athlete on the field."
Q: What did you think of him playing hurt in London?
A: That's expected of him. We're from the same city [New Orleans], we're from the same place, we grew up the same way. You're built totally different. Definitely the school you went to, and definitely the stuff we were around, you have to be tough. We were more mentally tough before we got to college, and they built more mental toughness into us because of how we grew up.
Q: Why are you able to deal with being a professional football player in New York?
A: I'm very mentally tough. It's hard to break my toughness.
Q: Where are you recognized by Giants fans?
A: Walmart, Target. … Definitely Target (laugh). I got a man there, I walk in every time, he says, "Landon!" It's fantastic to be recognized by the fans. It's love because you're making somebody smile.
Q: Quarterbacks you want to intercept?
A: I want the Tom Brady one back (laugh) definitely. I want to at least get all the top quarterbacks. You want the Tom Bradys, you want the Aaron Rodgers, you want the Drew Breeses … definitely Big Ben [Roethlisberger].
Q: How do you think Alabama coach Nick Saban would have liked coaching in New York?
A: I don't think he'd like all the traffic and fast pace.
Q: Favorite New York City things?
A: I haven't visited the World Trade Center yet. I visited the Statue Liberty. I haven't ridden the subway yet. But I've been to Yankee Stadium — not to watch the Yankees, I went to watch a soccer game. And I went to watch the Knicks play.
Q: Odell does this Head and Shoulders commercial. Let me see if I can get you an endorsement.
A: I love cars.
Q: Any particular brand?
A: My favorite brand is Aston Martin.
Q: What kind of car do you drive?
A: Right now I drive a BMW.
Q: What else can you endorse?
A: I wear a lot of colorful things, as in like shirts, wristbands. I wear headbands a lot, too.

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
re-par' (machceh, "refuge"): In Joe 3:16, for the King James Version The Lord will be the hope of his people" the King James Version margin renders "place of repair," or, "harbour" = haven of repair. the Revised Version (British and American) gives "refuge." Other words are chazaq, "to strengthen," "harden," "fix" (2Ki 12:5 and often; Ne 3$); rapha' "to heal" (1Ki 18:30); amadh, "to cause to stand still" (Ezr 9:9); chayah, "to revive" (1Ch 11:8); caghar, "to close up" (1Ki 11:27).
In the Revised Version (British and American) Apocrypha for huporrapto, "to patch up" (Sirach 50:1); episkeuazo, "to get ready" (1 Macc 12:37). In 1 Macc 14:34 occurs "reparation" (modern English "repairs") for epanorthosis, "straightening up."

The study of middle school teachers' understanding and use of mathematical representation in relation to teachers' zone of proximal development in teaching fractions and algebraic functions
MetadataShow full item record
This study examined teachers' learning and understanding of mathematical representation through the Middle School Mathematics Project (MSMP) professional development, investigated teachers' use of mathematics representations in teaching fractions and algebraic functions, and addressed patterns of teachers' changes in learning and using representation corresponding to Teachers' Zone of Proximal Development (TZPD). Using a qualitative research design, data were collected over a 2-year period, from eleven participating 6th and 7th grade mathematics teachers from four school districts in Texas in a research-designed professional development workshop that focused on helping teachers understand and use of mathematical representations. Teachers were given two questionnaires and had lessons videotaped before and after the workshop, a survey before the workshop, and learning and discussion videotapes during the workshop. In addition, ten teachers were interviewed to find out the patterns of their changes in learning and using mathematics representations. The results show that all teachers have levels of TZPD which can move to a higher level with the help of capable others. Teachers' knowledge growth is measurable and follows a sequential order of TZPD. Teachers will make transitions once they grasp the specific content and strategies in mathematics representation. The patterns of teacher change depend on their learning and use of mathematics representations and their beliefs about them. This study advocates teachers using mathematics representations as a tool in making connections between concrete and abstract understanding. Teachers should understand and be able to develop multiple representations to facilitate students' conceptual understanding without relying on any one particular representation. They must focus on the conceptual developmental transformation from one representation to another. They should also understand their students' appropriate development levels in mathematical representations. The findings suggest that TZPD can be used as an approach in professional development to design programs for effecting teacher changes. Professional developers should provide teachers with opportunities to interact with peers and reflect on their teaching. More importantly, teachers' differences in beliefs and backgrounds must be considered when designing professional development. In addition, professional development should focus on roles and strategies of representations, with ongoing and sustained support for teachers as they integrate representation strategies into their daily teaching.

A Noel ornament
This beautiful design is a free chart which can be downloaded from here.
I stitched the design 1 over 1 with DMC threads 815 & 321 on 32 ct Natural linen. It was stitched mainly on holiday in Tenerife last November. I have taken ages to decide on the finishing but am happy to have it as an ornament, one of many I am aiming to do by Christmas for a special little tree.

Now that the international break is at an end we can all get back to what really matters: Premier League Fantasy Football. I can also continue to procrastinate by claiming that sorting out my Fantasy Team is classed as 'article work'.Forty-Three points was the average haul for Gameweek Three and there were plenty of talking points. As I'm sure many did, I predicted a high-scoring game between Liverpool and Arsenal and highlighted Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane, Mo Salah and Alexandre Lacazette as key players. Liverpool blew the Gunners away and the previously mentioned trio for the Merseysiders were all pivotal, contributing a combined thirty-one points. Arsenal's Lacazette, to the surprise of many, did not start the game and had little chance to make an impact when he did come on.
Elsewhere, I tipped both Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling as potential major points earners in Manchester City's trip to Bournemouth. The pair scored City's goals in a 2-1 win and Jesus ended the match with a credible nine points to his name. Sterling would have finished on seven points but, following his controversial dismissal, three points were deducted from his score. Jermain Defoe also started the game for Bournemouth but made little impact.
|Raheem Sterling celebrates his stoppage time winner
Admittedly, I did get my Huddersfield vs. Southampton prediction wrong. The Saints have drawn a blank in half of their eighteen Premier League matches since February's EFL Cup final but I felt that they might've thrived in Yorkshire. Manolo Gabbiadini, however, didn't get a sniff- his one potential chance could've came when Nathan Redmond decided to shoot instead of squaring the ball in the first half. Tottenham's Kieran Trippier didn't have much joy with my prediction that Spurs would comfortably break their Wembley hoodoo also unfounded following Chris Wood's stoppage time equaliser.
So overall the predictions made weren't too far off the mark- a generous 7/10 maybe. But let's see how I do this week!
Manchester City vs LiverpoolBoth sides have started the season relatively well and guarantee goals. Liverpool tend to turn up for the big occasion and were unbeaten away from home against last season's top six, winning two and drawing three. Their high pressing style can catch teams off guard and they're lethal on the counter attack- their regular front three and new signing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could find some joy exploiting City's inexperienced flanks and lack of pace at the back. Vincent Kompany's absence through injury is a major blow but Man City can still boast attacking threats of their own to rival Liverpool. Sterling, as previously mentioned, is suspended but the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Sergio Agüero, Gabriel Jesus, Leroy Sané and David Silva can tear even the best defences apart, especially on a pitch as wide as the Etihad. These are the kind of crucial games in which both sides have a decision to make: either to go for the win or simply set up to avoid defeat. The former is much more likely so I would predict both teams to score and to pack your side with as many of their forwards as possible.
Everton vs TottenhamIn recent years, Everton have generally had a poor record against Tottenham with their last win at Goodison Park thanks to stoppage time goals from Steven Pienaar and Nikica Jelavić in December 2012. Since then, two of the three encounters when Everton have been the home side have finished in score draws. It wouldn't be a surprise if this encounter went the same way this time around. The strength of both sides is their central spine and this is where the game will be won or lost. Gylfi Sigurdsson's home debut is bound to bring the best out of him as is the fact that it will be against a former side. Wayne Rooney has also been given a new lease of life since re-joining his boyhood club, scoring two goals in the opening three games. His latest controversy aside, Rooney is pivotal to Everton's fortunes, as Ian Wright pointed out in a BBC article earlier this week. The only issue is whether he will feature for the Toffees, with his court hearing for alleged drink-driving set for the 18th September. On the other side of things, Dele Alli looked sharp for England during midweek and would be a decent bet for a goal or an assist- as would Christian Eriksen, whose ability to unlock any defence and yet remain criminally underrated is incredible. Harry Kane again failed to register a goal in August so it would seem almost inevitable that he will wake from his summer hibernation to once again spearhead a Tottenham title surge. I would expect the England striker in particular, out of all the above players, to open his account for the season this weekend.
|Marcus Rashford's pace could hurt Stoke
Stoke City vs Manchester UnitedStoke have started the season relatively well and Mark Hughes has proved many of his doubters wrong in the process. Jesé Rodriguez was an impressive acquisition; if it weren't for an unfortunate string of injuries he may well have still been at either Real Madrid or his parent club, PSG. Stoke have also attempted to bolster the centre of defence with Bruno Martins Indi, Kurt Zouma and Kevin Wimmer all brought in to offer some support for Ryan Shawcross. Stoke's longest serving player, Shawcross has been their defensive focal point for the best part of a decade now but has struggled in recent years with persistent injuries. They never look as solid without him in the side and, unless the new signings step up to the plate immediately, it could be a tough afternoon. United haven't won in the Potteries since 2013 but they are beginning to look like the classic counter-attacking side that they once were. They can absorb pressure comfortably with a world class goalkeeper and strong defensive line screened by Nemanja Matić before releasing their abundance of attacking power with the opposition caught upfield. I would expect United to win this one with a pacier player grabbing a goal- maybe an Anthony Martial, Romelu Lukaku or Marcus Rashford.
|Jonjo Shelvey (pictured centre) was sent off on the opening day for stamping on Dele Alli
Swansea vs NewcastleSwansea City were tipped for relegation by many this season and losing Gylfi Sigurdsson was a huge blow. He was directly involved in twenty-two of Swansea's forty-five goals last season but Sam Clucas did prove his capability at this level for Hull City. Able to operate on either flank or in a central position, Clucas could be a decent shout for an assist this weekend. The loan signing of Renato Sanches further proved how effective Paul Clement's contacts are from previous coaching roles as well. The Portuguese is one of the most exciting prospects in Europe and should thrive in a side synonymous with keeping the ball on the floor. Up front, Tammy Abraham is steadily proving that he can cut it at the highest level, impressing for England on Under 21 duty this summer before opening his account for the season against Crystal Palace. Returning hero Wilfried Bony may well feature as well for the Swans. It would be a scriptwriter's dream if he were to reignite his career with a goal this weekend, most likely from the bench. Newcastle registered an impressive victory over West Ham in their last game but the result was also aided by how poor the Hammers were. 3-0 may have flattered to deceive. Chancel Mbemba is likely to miss out through injury- a major blow to the Magpies' already questionable defence. Jonjo Shelvey's stupid sending off on the opening day summed up the worst part of his game but, when he is on song, he is a technically gifted player capable of the spectacular. He has a massive point to prove on his Swansea return tomorrow and will be itching to make sure that happens at the Liberty Stadium. I would expect Swansea to edge this one but Newcastle to push them all the way.
Thanks for reading, hopefully I get at least one prediction right to justify continuing the series next week.

trying to chase dreams unreal; the voices that were calling:
I thought I could be something someday but it was just a wish,
A fantasy; a desire to be bigger and better than this.
I thought that I should keep fighting; and writing for what I believed in,
That it was worth the trying and crying; and dealing with the feelings.
My heart wanted me to keep on looking forward in life,
But my mind was fading and lost the will of it's sight.
I fell down from my journey for a better me,
Dreaming of each and every single thing I could possibly be.
I thought I had lost it; that i could not stand again,
But when I saw her; the light; I felt like a man renamed.
There she stood strong fighting life day by day,
She took it all but kept on going and paved her way.
Seeing the smile that she kept on her beautiful face,
Made me want to fight again; and endure the pain,
Never again look back at yesterday,
But look forward to tomorrow; it's a better way.
and her smile and support has put me in a better place.
Though you may be drowning in the shadow's dark,
It's those beautiful lights that can save you; those blessed hearts.
Would i have been were she not to be seen,
Still suffering to reality or still following my dreams?

I visit Mom every day at hospice. Usually in the morning so that I can help her with breakfast and makes sure that she eats all of it. I hold her hand, massage her feet, talk and touch her, and read the Bible to her. I always spend at least 3 hours with her. Sometimes up to 5 hours. But every time I must leave [like yesterday I had a doctors appt], she always gets so sad and hurt when I have to leave. She wants me there 24/7--like when I was taking care of her at home. I think she wants me to move into hospice with her. I am the youngest, was the primary caregiver for 2 years, and we are very loving and close to each other. I love my mother deeply, more than anybody else on the planet. It just kills me when I have to walk out of door and see her face so sad and hurt because I have to leave. Since she is far better healthwise at hospice, she is more lucid, out of pain, and even complaining, and she wants to come home. So she is voicing a very real emotion--not a delusion. And when sis and bro go see her in the afternoon she tells them that I never came because she forgot that I came--she has dementia and terminal cancer. But she has done extremely well at hospice. I couldnt handle the excruciating pain that she was getting while I was taking care of her at home even with the morphine.
How do I handle the intense guilt, pain, and hurt I feel when I must leave Mom alone? Because since she is better and out of pain, she is lonely there all by herself--which is totally understandable. She doesn't understand why I have to leave, and she won't understand even if I tried to explain. Any advice out there for me?

The Swell Season
North Charleston Performing Arts Center
May 22
Seeing favorite bands live in concert is always a fun experience, but the Swell Season's Saturday night show at the PAC went beyond that. Many in the audience, myself included, love the music of Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, but we also love the couple themselves — or at least the characters they played in the Oscar-winning movie Once.
Although the film was fictional, the chemistry between the musicians was real, even resulting in a short-lived relationship between the two. Neither of them were professional actors, meaning that, as we learned Saturday, Hansard and Irglova aren't too far removed from their beloved characters.
Irglova, sporting a cute short haircut, was quiet, composed, and a little nervous, with a beautiful, lilting voice and serious piano skills. Balancing out (and nearly overtaking) her sweetness was Hansard's energetic, loud singing and strumming (and occasional piano-playing, as well). Fans of the movie recognized his well-worn guitar, which he's been playing for more than 20 years. They switched off vocal and playing duties throughout the show, hitting on favorite songs from the movie, like "If You Want Me" and "When Your Mind's Made Up," plus songs from their new album Strict Joy, like "Low Rising," "Fantasy Man," and "Back Broke."
By far, the most powerful moments of the night came from Hansard's solo, passionate performances of popular songs like "Leave" and "Say It to Me Now." While Charleston's too-friendly peanut gallery worked hard to embarrass the rest of us, they did manage to get one good nugget out of Hansard. When asked if they'd be making a sequel to Once, he replied, "We're living it." And we were honored to be a part of it.

Let's take a moment to push for the end of the pointless war that nobody wanted; the costly quagmire that's drained resources and consumed the media with its constant, bloody scrimmages.
I stopped reading at this line.
***In the past few weeks, Sony's Blu-ray next-generation DVD format has enjoyed several victories over Toshiba's rival HD DVD: Target will sell only Blu-ray players this holiday season.***
Target will still sell HD-DVD.
and they will sell HD DVD standalone players online. But they will sell PS3 and standalone blu-ray players in store and online.
Edit: How can you disagree this is what target said. lol
Edit2:This is from Forbes.com who actually spoke to Target.
this is what it says
Target (nyse: TGT - news - people ) said it will sell the Sony (nyse: SNE - news - people ) BDP-S300 for $499 in October and display it along with Blu-ray DVDs from three studios, including Sony Corp. and The Walt Disney Co. (nyse: DIS - news - people ), at the ends of store aisles.
Target does not sell high-def DVD players in its stores, although it does sell a Toshiba HD DVD player for $299 on its Web site.
Target stores do sell an HD DVD add-on for the Microsoft (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ) Xbox 360. They also sell Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 3, which comes with a Blu-ray player built in.
Target would not say why it decided to sell only Blu-ray players in stores. Sony is paying a fee to have its products featured in the end-of-aisle display, called an endcap, although Sony executives said the retailer contacted them about the decision.
"We are not proclaiming one format vs. the other as the preferred consumer technology, and software will continue to be available to our guests in both the Blu-ray and HD DVD format," Target spokeswoman Brie Heath said.
Target will track customer feedback and adjust offerings as necessary, Heath said.
BLUE RAY is beating HD DVD 3: 1 in US ....8:1 in EU and 9:1 in JAPAN.
console war is finished.
sell your HD DVD addon
@ drtysouf21
@ nasim
@ anyone else that disagrees with me.
Turns out they're just installing Blu-ray aisle end caps, thanks to a new promotional deal with Sony, but HD DVD isn't going anywhere.
There you guys go.
be back with the link.... This is from Forbes.com who actually spoke to Target. Your links are from the same story at Engadget who spoke to Major Nelson from Microsoft. Who are you going to believe Major Nelson or Target the company that made the announcement.
this is what it says
Target (nyse: TGT - news - people ) said it will sell the Sony (nyse: SNE - news - people ) BDP-S300 for $499 in October and display it along with Blu-ray DVDs from three studios, including Sony Corp. and The Walt Disney Co. (nyse: DIS - news - people ), at the ends of store aisles.

Edit @ below I've had your comments on ignore for a long time now but i noticed in some stories you posted below me. I can't see what your saying nor do i wish to because usually they are filled with nonsense and it looks like the other 8 people that have you on ignore agree with me. So its pointless to reply to me because i do not see your comments. Have a nice day!
Yes drty! preach the word brother! we must stop the conspiracy of major nelson and microsoft. *rolls eyes*
The HD DVD PR team sent us a statement from Universal Studios VP Ken "Graffeo stating the deal amounted only to an "end cap" purchased by Sony putting its BDP-S300 in stores."
I'd keep going till the bitter end cause frankly... it only hurts your competion
It also hurts the consumer alot more. It's selfish.
Edit:...someone has a vendetta against me. I can't escape getting disagreed with.
Let's have a good, clean fight! May the best high-definition commercial video format win!
poor Toshiba.
this is what happens when you allign yourself with a loser -MS
Because fanboys believe that Microsoft created HD-DVD and that somehow it is tied to Xbox. But the rest of us live in the real world and know that HD-DVD and Xbox 360's only connection is an add-on drive that you don't have to buy if you don't want it.
Another day, another similar article. I called this spamming.
Blu ray for the victory. Why is HD DVD keep fighting it with cheap prices.
They are using the same approach that Sony used with the PS3 Price cut. Or added SKU depending on whether you a fan or a fanboy.
If you can't stop talking about the "size of your disc"…. You might be a Blu boy!
If you watch High-def on a GAME SYSTEM and then say HD DVD interactivity is overrated…. You might be a Blu boy!
If you say web features are overrated, then brag about PS3's included Wi-Fi…. You might be a Blu boy!
If you say HD DVD is dead with a 33% market share, yet PS3 is "on track" with a 20% market share…. You might be a Blu boy!
as for BOTS x360 isnt losing...it is dying
look at the dismal sales data.
even in NA ..ps3 has surpassed x360 in monthly sales in JULY
Man at least show that you have one ounce of objectivity in you body. I remember when the PS3 was at the bottom of all charts including VGCharts. I never once heard you say that the PS3 was dead.
Perhaps, if you made a sensible comment instead of blurting out HATE all the time that people would take you more seriously. You are the epitome of a sony FANBOY. The perfect example of a Lemming. You say HDDVD and XBOX360 is dead, then you state that DISNEY only backs Blu-Ray (As if DISNEY is the defacto standard) yet, DISNEY also are on the XBOX LIVE Market Place.
Please man, show me that you can do it and make one statement that shows that you can think and respond with some objectivity.
Thanks Dude
I think that its funny that the PS3 beats the 360 in sales for one month and suddenly the 360 is dead. Gotta love fanboy logic.
I looked at it PS3 sales are down and 360 sales are up.
Based on "VGCHARTS" numbers the PS3 Sells are down. And the 360 is up. It's simple, it's in black and white, The current trend has the PS3 sells down a bit. I don't understand why people are disagreeing with you.
The fundamental flaw with Blu-ray's strategy is that people still know a good value when they see it. Despite the press spin, HD DVD players are still selling better than Blu-ray players because they do pretty much the same exact thing, but at a better price. With the new Blu-ray spec in November requiring extra hardware, the prospect of cheaper Blu-ray players weakens and Sony has already stated the PS3 will go back to $599 (the lose $200 on each system sold at the moment). It appears that HD DVD will keep its pricing advantage throughout the holidays and it becomes clear why the Sony / Blu-ray company line had been "HD DVD is dead." If they can't convince people that HD DVD is a dead format, then they will lose this holiday, probably in a landslide.
WOW!! that's a wishful thinking from someone in HD-DVD camp. Keep discounting PS3 as blu-ray player and your landslide you hope will not happen. maybe it already happenned in your mind.
HD-DVD adopter feel good until they just realized they lost access to like 3 Major movie studios. GG.
With Xbox 360 undercutting PS3 for games, HD DVD undercutting PS3 for movies and Sony still losing $200 on every unit sold... it's going to be a very difficult holiday for Sony & Blu-ray.
yeah, it's going to be very smooth sailing for Toshiba.
Disney/Pixar will be more title this holiday season, consider where toshiba is now, it take more than difficult time, they will need a miracle to save them.
if you haven't heard the news. The PS3 is supposed (or on track) to turn into profit 1Q08. I also doubt, that they make a loss on the $499 machine (not in production any more - the losses are written off already), the 80Gig (and PAL version) is cost reduced already and closer to a break even then the $499 version, I'd guess 1Q08 will see another HW update (possibly without the GS - but, what's that part now ? Below $50 I'd guess, if a complete PS2 makes profit at $129), a bigger saving might come from 65nm parts next year.
Current vgcharts beat x360 sales on a global scale, while I don't say, this is over yet, it show the 360 is not outselling the PS3 any more. I believe they will come to par soon, with a better end for the PS3, eventually.
Games are coming - for PS3 and 360. Who ever wants Halo has a 360 already, I doubt, the mass didn't buy a 360 because Halo3 wasn't out yet (and even if, these guys and gals are most likely Xbox converts, rather then pre PS2 customers).
BluRay is here to stay - even if, say hypothetical HD-DVD will win. On the other side, HD-DVD will disapear, should BluRay win. So, IMO, the risk is clearly in the HD-DVD camp. BD Players will go down in price, $300-$400 no name brands will pot up. The $50 cost advantage won't be worth the risk (well, I'd say, the $250 isn't - you get the fastest console for that $250 extra, just as a gimmick, beside other goodies under the hood). True, the cheapest way to get HD content on disk is HD-DVD - if you could only find a cheap HD TV, though (out that in relation, and the player price is not that relevant). It will play a bigger role, when HD TVs will be cheaper and wide spread. But until then, again, and that is what the article also said, BD has more headroom in the price.
Toshiba could do everybody a favor and simply drop out, please. I don't care if they are the underdog, this time. It's just not worth it. I am a customer, and its a useless war.
I'm under the impression HD DVD was out first instead of having the lead there playing catch up.
Last I seen 300 is selling more, and be rented more on Blu ray but like you said it must be those stand alone blu ray player. Just keep living in denial as last generation millions and millions of ppls first DVD player was a PS2.
This war has been over ever since HD DVD lower it price hoping would spark some interest but the fact remains it hasn't. Poor HD DVD fanboy are we still waiting on those cheap HD DVD player from China just one question where I'm I gonna be able to buy them at. Target?Bj's?Woolworth?, and when I get my new *cheaper* HD DVD player I guess I'm gonna have to rent movie for it maybe I'll run over to local blockbuster. This war is over and has been over can we all just move on now.
"Just keep living in denial as last generation millions and millions of ppls first DVD player was a PS2." - Very good point!! bubble 4 u
"Let's take a moment to push for the end of the pointless war that nobody wanted; the costly quagmire that's drained resources and consumed the media with its constant, bloody scrimmages..."
Jeez, I'm surprised the author didn't close with a call for Toshiba's "exit strategy." But others might see this as simply a "cut-and-run."
Let's take a moment to remember there are REAL wars out there, the "cost" of which is far greater than any format or platform. I'm saddened when something as triffling as a war between Blu Ray vs HD DVD sparks more interest, opinion and heated debate than those of true human importance.
I AM SORRY for my brief political-ish diatribe, but somehow this format thing is getting tiresome.
*braces for certain forum backlash*
Hey I have an idea, if you would like to win the presidential race in this country, just run a campaign that says "I FULL AND COMPLETELY SUPPORT BLU-RAY" and you will blindly get to vote of 75% of the sony fanboys that are of legal age to vote....(humor)
I think this entire blu-ray/HDDVD war is part of doing business, the thing that strikes me a strange is how fanboys cannot support something and allow someone else to support different without bashing their opponents choices or the person themselves.
I say Regular DVD is winning the war, kinda like people keep bringing up the ps2, the regular DVD is the PS2. Why is it that no one is taking that angle?
Greg: Even though Microsoft isn't as involved as Sony, at least it is an American Company.
Why Americans are so quick to give their money to Sony and Japan is beyond me.
It seems to me that some of the younger generations of Americans are happy with this format war and want Sony to win. All while they complain about not having the money to buy the stuff and wait for the price to come down. Just wait, you will begin to have less and less money because you are filling the Japanese pockets. Toshiba is selling a great machine at a great price.
I am not complaining about one culture or race, only why Americans don't b1tch at Disney and the other studios and other American companies....Blockbuster, Target, BJ's etc. and say....why are you forcing us to use a product like Blu ray when their are alternatives that are less expensive and great quality. I realize Toshiba is not an American company, but their revenues are dispersed though more American supply chains not just Sony, Sony, Sony. They are killing American jobs.
Now mind you I don't really care. I have owed and American business for 21 years, I have made my millions. You youngsters (and poor older Americans) who support foreign manufacturing may regret your decision one day. A pair of Levi's cost 19.95 in the 80's when I was a kid and they were made in America. When manufacturing was closed in American and went foreign they are double or more. We either pay or do without.
Why does Sony want full control? So they can charge you whatever they want. If Toshiba wasn't in the picture, Sony would be laughing to the bank more than they already are.
He with the gold makes the rules. When foreigners make everything you want, you either do without or pay their prices.
Buy American and save an Americans from poverty.
----------------------------- -------------------------
I've read this comment and agree with some of what he's saying.
Please commment.
I dont think American really buy into this. Look Toyota/Honda is the best selling cars while GM and Ford is struggling bad. Why? Just because it's american, it doesn't mean we gonan buy it regardlessly, we look at product's quality, you dont want your car to keep breaking every now and then right? Then what's GM and Ford did. Should we be ashamed of ourself? I dont think so.
I do prefer to pick up made in American products but if it's a constantly breaking products, i will not pick up because I want to send a message to the company. Fix your products and you will automatically regain consumer confidental. If I just buy your products regardlessly, I would cost more harm. More sh*tty products will launch and the companies know they can get away with it in US easily but international wise everybody will learn to stay away from US products. I dont want our Made in US brand to be tarnish.
Don't make war and save Americans from poverty (and death)
Don't know what that (racist?) comment has to do with HD DVD vs Blu Ray. All major film studios are American. Should the rest of the world now boycott American movies, because they ship their money across the ocean ? That's a global business. With global contributions (e.g. CELL == IBM based, XDR is American, etc).
Da Ghostdog was implying, how about some American pride, and little loyality. You sure as hell expect you "American" Employer to keep you "American" A$$ on staff don't you.
What if your boss said that the foreign employees work harder than the american one so therefore all americans are terminated. That would probably piss you off would it, even if it were true, you'd still feel wronged by an American company.
Screw that, AMERICA, I got ya back.
@Da Ghostdog....wow, what a dumb post. HD-DVD was made by Toshiba and Blu-ray by Sony so its Japanese vs Japanese. The American companies are just bit players in this format 'war'.
A minute ago, HDDVD and XBOX360 were dead simply because MS has an interest in HDDVD. Now you bring out the Japan vs Japan argument as to separate the american involvement. Guess what, MS is an american company. It's not really a stupid argument, when you find yourself later in life unable to make it to the top in the work force because the entire country is owned by foreign bodies, and they are placing their own in the top positions. You'll see the light then, then you can tell you young son why he's in a dead end job..lol
Trust me, this is exactly where america is headed, read the headlines of all the major company, parks, bodies being purchased here in america by japanese and european companies. Take pride in your toyota, I'll keep driving my Yukon Denali.
This is sooo off topic, but I feel the urge to add one more comment.
I am European, live in the US and work here (see I'm not even Asian). I am driving a Jeep, not even a Toyota, and my wifes car is a Mustang. I am working for a global company (and yes, its origin is my home country). See, if I am getting replaced its most likely an American gets the job.
And still, I am hiring, and if so, I'd give Americans a chance - like everybody else. There is no difference. In fact I hired more Americans then anything else last year (actually 100% AFAIR). So, do you really believe, what you are saying ? Because you are wrong.
Maybe American's should start to look over the fence instead of becoming defensive. If people buy a Toyota instead of a "Yukon" the reason might be, because they have invested in quality (reliability) and the cars use less gas ? Not because its made in China (probably not even in Japan, or maybe the factory is even in the US). Instead of becoming defensive, you probably should try to become competitive. That might help to secure jobs.
Also, believe me, for factory jobs, this is a problem, I agree. However, please don't think you guys are the only ones. This applies to all modern western countries, but maybe you can explain a Chinese worker, how he should afford a PS3 (or a 360 or a Wii or a HD-DVD player) with a monthly salary of $10 or so. Whatever, life is a challenge and often just a matter of perspective.
BTW: Kaz, even being Japanese (is he ?) made the jump from CEO SCEA to the global head quarter. Don't you think that adds value to the American perspective in the global opinion ? This is actually the same what's happening in my company. The more the US branch grows, the higher the influence in the global picture.
Do you guys think for a second that maybe American products arent that great? I think one really excellent and relevant example would be the Xbox360 with a failure rate of 33%. The PS3 on the other hand has been commended on its less than 2% failure rate. Its a difference of quality, not national allegience. Not only that, you guys say support American corporations who have been outsourcing labor and manufacturing for years now.
Walmart who claims to be the great american store was caught up in scandal when people found out that all of their manufacturing is done in CHINA. Yet people shop at Walmart all day long thinking they are buying American products and supporting the American economy. The fact of the matter is that we are headed for global economy and this is being pushed by our American corporations cause they will make more and more money cause there is cheaper labor in 3rd world countries.
If you guys are worried about being poor later then start saving your money now. The Chinese save 40% of their income. The Germans save 18% Japanese I believe are at 15-20% and what is the average American's savings? NEGATIVE ONE PERCENT!!! We are a nation of debt. I bet everyone in this forum over the age of 18 has credit card debt. Our nation is in debt, our people are in debt. And some a$$ has the audacity to tell me that I'm not being a good American cause I prefere to buy quality products?
No! This country is in trouble (and in case you dont know we are heading for a financial crisis on par with market crash in the 20's) cause ignorant people in this country want to go around blaming everyone else without taking personal responsibility for their own actions. Ford and GM are losing money cause they make cars that are expenisive, that consume way too much fuel, and are not up to the same quality standards of our Japanese competitors. I'm sorry, if you want to blindy wave your American flag and buy inferior products cause you think its going to save a country then by all means keep wasting your money.
If you guys really care about this country then start voting for people who want to fix it, not the ones who want to engage in endless war squandering our national funds on unwinnable conflicts while pushing us further and further in debt while simultaneously undercutting funding for social programs like health care, welfare, social security, etc. Stop being sheep and educate yourselves. The problems are MUCH bigger than choosing between american made brands and that of our competitors.
This is starting to sound like a CSPAN channel. Although, I did learn a lot about how some of you think. American and Non, some were brow raising and some were understandable, while others were just ignorant. But, everyone has their views and are entitled to them.
I will add one thing though, It's amazing how many people migrate to america to live or get jobs. Especially since "it sucks so bad" here. Hmmm...
This entire post is whack and a waste of time so I'm outta here. Probably shouldn't have said anything.
How can anyone support HD-DVD when you know that a lot of movies will not even be released on your format. I mean I am honestly asking HD DVD supporter why would you buy a format that would limit your choice of movies when both formats serve up the same quality. Just for some web enabled features. I would take movie choices over features any day. All HD DVD has is Universal and the neutral studios. I mean no offense but if you presented this to a person who knows nothing about the format war they would take BluRay everytime even if it is more expensive. If someone is willing to spend money on an HDTV and an HD Player they are willing to spend $200 more for a HD player that has more movie choices. Its a no brainer.
Dude, both formats have about 265 movies released (they are usually within 10 of each other). The studio support is about the same if you ask me. It doesn't matter how many studios you have on a list, when it comes to actually studio support with movies, it's the same.
Why would you buy Blu-ray? It's $200-$300 more. No web features. No Picture in Picture. The spec isn't done yet!
I want to know first of all have you took a look at the 265 movies compared to the blu ray 265 movies. Blu ray has more blockbusters and more movies that the general public like ALL DISNEY MOVIES. Also do you think it will stay at 265 Disney and Fox are just about to start releasing all of their movies. HD DVD does not have th choices.. How can you justify limited choices for PIP commentary LOL. I mean a majority of the population do not even have the time barely for the regular movie you think they care about features? Ultimate Fanboyism if you think studio support is a weak argument.
i agree with u.
firstly movies like PIRATES 1,2 and 3 would never be relased on HD DVD.
x360 is dead in both japan and Eu.
Casino royale and all 007 movies would never be on HD DVD.
Spiderman 1,2 and 3 would never be on HD DVD.
LOST WORLD,INDEPENDENCE day and all spielberg's movies would never be on HD DVD as well.
x360 is the least selling console in the world.
ps3 is beating it all over and even in NA by 10k/17k units
expect PS3 sales to be much higher since VGCHARTS downgrade ps3 sales and deflates x360 sales.
expect ps3 to sell 50k per week in USA and x360 25k at best in USA per week.
NPD would show much higher ps3 numbers..i am sure about that.
However x360 is dead now all over the world
Cars, The Incredibles, Toy story 1-2 and all other disney classic title
First off, SPIDERMAN III SUCKED! The other movies are old and most people already own them on DVD. Why would I buy them again on BLU-Ray or HDDVD? To see them at 1080p...HELL NO!
Effen Eh Vavoom. I bought HD DVD for new movies...Hot Fuzz (which is HD DVD exclusive because HD DVD is the preferred format in the UK) and 300.
BD has 60% exclusive rights to almost all major studios.
HD DVD is simply gone.
yes DISNEY backs only Blue Ray
If the sales of the stand alone players are higher for hddvd then why aren't the movie sales reflecting the same information? It seems really strange that there are "reportedly" so many more hddvd players sold because of price and yet blueray movies are selling something like 3-1. Maybe it can be attributed to the ps3 lack of games gives those consumers more of a reason to go spend their money on movies.
So if you have 50 hddvd purchasers and each one purchases 1-2 movies that gives you roughly 100 movies sold. Take 30 sony ps3 purchasers and they each get 4-5 movies you have a potential of selling 150 blueray movies. That seems to be the only way blueray movies are selling more.
It could also come down to the stores being persuaded into marketing the blueray product over the hddvd. I have seen several stores with setups for blueray that are outstanding and then have another for hddvd that is just ok. You know sony is paying for that extra effort in selling the product. It isn't against the law but it is morally unlawful. Just like politics.
there are millions of PS3s that have been sold. There are not even a million HD-DVD players sold yet. Whenever the HD-DVD camp talks sales numbers they ignore the PS3 and focus on Stand alone units where they are outselling BluRay players by quite a bit.
As for the no games comment, its getting old and annoying. I bought my PS3 cause I wanted to play games AND watch BluRay movies. Cant you people understand that some of us can see the VALUE in what the PS3 has to offer and not just the pricetag?
My dad told me a great quote. "Americans know the cost of everything and the value of nothing."
this thread is full of phony fans and it doesn't look like hd dvd is going anywhere. minus the ps3 sales and your little blu ray is being dog-walked. hd dvd does have the support from disney and futhermore, the europe market is doing just the oppisite; hd dvd is leading at a ratio of 4:1. I'm not going to post a link you phony fan/trolls should be able to find it on the web.
really? give me Pirates of Caribbean and chicken little in HD-DVD. I would completely shut up and declare you are the winner of this thread. If you can't, you just embarass yourself there.
This is getting old. HD-DVD is here to stay.
This would be a good story "PS3 fanboys feel so threatened by HD-DVD they post flog stories daily"
Everytime I need a laugh i just come on to this message board and it crack me up. I am a ps3 owner but I really dont give a rat who wins the console war cause i know and you know that sony or microsoft isnt going anywhere. Everybody in here braggs about games .Come on people everybody that plays video games likes diffrent games . Thats why the crappy games still get sequels . I chose the ps3 cause 1 I get a blu ray player and 2 I like the sony exclusive games better. Its cool to think your system is better but in the end neither sony or microsoft is paying you any money to promote them.
heavenly sword , ratchet and clank , and drake uncharted fortunes cant wait....oh and lair too
This is my first post ever on this site. I enjoy reading a lot of this stuff because I am US military deployed right now and it helps me stay somewhat informed, but this arguing back and forth kills me. Both consoles and both DVD formats have their own advantages and disadvantages...once you pick one why do people feel the need to talk down to or disrespect the other camp for their choice. I have a 360, I love it!!! But I would totally buy a PS3 if I had the funds for both. I really want to get the HD DVD add on, especially now with the price drop, and I probably will as soon as I get back home. So that makes me stupid or a fanboy because I have chosen the 360 and decide to buy a HD DVD add on? I already have a 55in HDTV and an up-coverting DVD player, but there is only so much money to go around you know???
What are the avsforums droids going o talk about now mmm i wonder.
anyways as usual this is not news.
Blu-ray has won.
hdvd R.I.P.
It's all about the content, and slowly but surely the studios are going over to Bluray's side and this trend isn't stopping. Ultimately Sony have more vested and will eventually win this war. It's just a matter of time. There is no reason for Toshiba to continue pushing the HD-DVD format when they can make the just as much money cranking out Blu-ray players.
Personally i believe both formats could do better with their choice of movie releases.
Their choice of movies to re-release has been poor.
Where are the Lord of the Rings/Star Wars/Aliens Trilogies?
HD-DVD is better IMO at the moment for the fact it has the Matrix Trilogy.
Matrix trilogy is coming to Blu-ray later this year along with the Spiderman trilogy and the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. Warner gave HD-DVD a timed exclusive because they didn't want to compete with the two Pirates of the Caribbean movies on Blu-ray that was released at the same time and it totally makes sense from a business standpoint.
before they lose more money. Toshiba is a great brand but they can't afford to lose all that money on a failing format. Sony is losing money only on the PS3 right now but they have many different products that are selling well and they will eventually make a profit on the PS3 once more games are here and when the format war is over. The PS3 is here to stay despite their recent losses, Toshiba will not make any profits because the format will be gone forever.
Sony sees profits increase while gaming business struggles
Midway concerned about PS3
Midway CEO David Zucker struck Sony for massive damage in a recent interview with GamesIndustry.biz, stating that his firm is "concerned" about PlayStation 3 sales.
Quit please HD DVD is just taking up space at my local WalMart.Blueray is the future.
I have both HD-DVD and Blu-ray but as of now I'm backing HD-DVD because it has more features and looks cleaner than Blu-ray.
I can confirm that HHGregg will be supporting HD DVD.
I asked about this at our last SE regional sales meeting.
Basically, the new A3($299) and A30($399) will be carried and possibly the A35($499).
Currently, we sell the A20 for $349.97 our best seller when it comes to HD and BD stand alones.
We also sell the BDPS3000 ($499), but we only get a few of them in since they move slow for us.

text: A 15-minute fire in a turbine building at the Fort St. Vrain nuclear power plant in Platteville, Colo., injured no one and released no radiation, authorities said. The fire was contained at 12:15 a.m., said a spokesman for plant operator Public Service Co. of Colorado. The reactor had reopened this week but was not yet producing electricity, and damage was described as minimal. Oil from a hydraulic system sprayed onto a hot pipe and ignited in a building separated from the reactor building by a steel wall, officials said. Fort St. Vrain had been shut down since July to replace a helium circulator and remained closed until early this week, the utility spokesman said.

This is one of my faves. Probably due to its musky quality. I was very surprised that I liked something promoted by a pop princess, but what can I say I'm A Believer!!
You can find it just about anywhere, love the throwback perfume bottle and it is reasonably priced...give it a try!!!
Con: its strong, a little goes a long way.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Acne-prone, Tan, Warm

I like this scent more than Fantasy and Midnight Fantasy. Imo, Curious is also a mix of sweet and floral scents but this fragrance is more grown up than Fantasy and Midnight Fantasy. Although I like the scent of Curious, I would not repurchase because they staying power is not long.

This perfume smells so light and pretty! The packaging is also delightful. I am a proud Britney fan (even through the bad times), so I do not have a problem whatsoever wearing this particular perfume. Lasts long, price is reasonable, and my SO loves it, so what more could a girl ask for??
Age: 19-24
Skin: Dry, Fair, Not Sure

As someone said my bottle of Curious turned yellow and rotted. It was one of my favorite fragrances so you can imagine how surprised I was when discoverd it rotted and smelling just alcohol.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Acne-prone, Tan, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine

Nothing special about it, smells like a $ 5 cologne, although isn't so bad.

The only reason why i said i wouldn't repurchase is beacuse i don't rebuy perfumes.
i love this perfume. really love it =D
when i attached the atomiser, the spray is a lot more gentle than a normal spray, so i tend to spray it into my hair, and it smells great. everybody comments on how good my hair smells when i have it in =)
love it! pretty bottle too :)
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Other, Medium

This smell is awful. Reminds me of Orange Bleach. It's way too overpowering and the smell makes me want to puke. I'm not just saying that either. It really does. This was given to me by a friend and the second I smelled it from the bottle I knew it was no good. I gave it to my younger sister, which I now regret because she uses it like an air freshener. So disgusting. Can't stand it. Would not recommend it. Wish I never encounter it again.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other

Don't like the smell at all. It makes me headache, but wanna have a beautiful & princess looked bottle in my collection. I use it 'coz lots of my friends like it & use it, so truely hope that continuing using it would make me like it some day, but no, it's impossible. Even though the bottle is gorgeous, but the spray quality is really bad. I have to take about 5 minutes to spray Curious on me. Will not buy it again.

I love Curious!!! It doesn't smell candyish or foody at all, I can't even smell the vanilla on it, and I LOVE candy foody fragrances, however I still like it a lot, it smells sooo good!! It smells floral (I'd say white flowers) with a tiny hint of sweet (maybe the vanilla infused musk?) and VERY young, which I ADORE, that's a must in every fragrance I wear!!! I usually don't like floral fragrances, but I like this one a lot!!! It also isn't strong at all, it's a light scent but yet it's still very noticeable.
I can't make up my mind on which Britney Spears fragrance I like the most, it depends on my mood, but I definitely like Fantasy a lot more, and Midnight Fantasy and In Control too. I just wish there was more sweetness and candy-foodiness in this fragrance cuz sometimes when I wear it I feel like it's not sweet and girly enough for my taste and way too floral, but I still like it a lot. It's not my favorite fragrance at all but I like it a lot and it's fun to wear every now and then when I'm in the mood for it. The bottle and package are beyond GORGEOUS too, I'd say among the prettiest (if not the prettiest) in the perfume world right now (along with Brit's In Control bottle and package too;)), but I'd like it even more if the bottle was baby pink instead of light blue.
The bad things about this fragrance however are that I have my 3.4oz (100ml) atomizer bottle since a little over 2 years ago and I still have 1/3 of it left, and since like a year ago or so it started to smell weird, like if it was going bad, kinda like musty/rotten/old water/water gone bad and wood, and it lost its slight sweetness, and I think it started to turn more yellow than normal, so I refuse to use what's left... I think it really stinks now to the point it's nauseating, don't wanna smell like musty water and like musty wood!!! If I buy another bottle I'll buy the 1oz (30ml) one, because since this isn't my favorite fragrance or HG I use it only every now and then and it probably will go bad before I'm able to finish it. I think it's not good at all that this fragrance goes bad so early (in a year or year and 1/2 or so after purchase), I have other fragrances that I purchased like 4 years ago and still smell perfect, like new.
The other bad thing about this fragrance is that even though the bottle is STUNNING, my atomizer broke (stopped spraying) and doesn't spray, which sucks A LOT (this also happened to my In Control atomizer).
The lasting power however is great, I haven't had any problems with it!!
I just love Britney's fragrances... she's really talented at making perfume, I love her too!!! I can't wait for her to launch another fragrance, she should keep them young and girly (and candy like;))... and her next one should smell like bubblegum!!! (It's my favorite scent and there's no fragrance that smells like it in the market=()

I don't use perfume really but a few years ago I was working in a departmental store promoting this perfume for a temp. job. I fell in love with the perfume basically and its probably one of the VERY FEW perfumes that I like. I love the flowery sweetness of it, how the flowery scent & the vanilla sweetness compliment each other, making it not overly sweet (like Britney's other fragrance "Fantasy" which is sickeningly sweet). I never got round to buying this perfume as it is quite expensive. However, a few days ago, Boots were having a sale on it for only �15 (US$30) for a 100ml bottle with it and that comes with the cute pump as well. I decided to buy it since its cheap and its the only perfume that i have liked anyway. It is really worth the money I think. I was contemplating buying Givenchy's "Very Irresistable" which reminds me a little of this perfume before but a 30ml bottle of that would still cost twice more than how much ive paid for this 100ml today. I have to admit that it is quite embarrassing to be wearing a perfume that has the name "Britney Spears" on it but it is the fragrance that i love and i guess i'll have to leave with it. I might buy it again if its as cheap when im done with this bottle, or else i might get Givenchy's Very Irresistable or something else that's still flowery, sweet & girlie. :-P

The first Night Stalker murder occurred a full year earlier, with the murder of a 79-year-old woman at her home in suburban
By February 1985, two more murders, but Police were keeping details to themselves. They saw no link with the abduction of a six-year-old
The Stalker reverted from child molestation to murder on March 17, shooting 34-year-old Ts Lian Yu, ambushed near her home in
The action moved to
In the meantime, the Night Stalker seemed intent on running up his score. On June 27, 23-year-old Patty Higgins was killed at home in Arcadia, her throat slashed, and 77- year-old Mary Cannon was slain in identical style, less than two miles away, on July 2. Five days later, 61-year-old Joyce Nelson was beaten to death at her home, in
Police were still maintaining silence on the subject of their latest maniac-at-large, but they began to feel the heat on August 6, after 38-year-old Christopher Petersen and his wife Virginia, 27, were critically wounded by gunshots in their Northridge home. Descriptions matched the Stalker, and he struck again on August 8, shooting 35-year-old Elyas Abowath dead in his Diamond Bar home, brutally beating the victim's wife. That night, authorities announced their manhunt for a killer linked with half a dozen recent homicides, a toll that nearly tripled in the next three weeks, with fresh assaults and new evaluation of outstanding cases.
On August 17, the Stalker deserted his normal hunting ground, gunning down 66-year-old Peter Pan at his home in
An all-points bulletin was issued for Ramirez on August 30, his mug shot broadcast on TV, and he was captured by civilians in
A sister of Ramirez told the press he wanted to plead guilty, a desire frustrated by his attorneys, but the suspect made no public display of repentance.
