May be too small for some hands; More likely to break than original model; Game Boy Advance game packs protrude from bottom by about a centimeter
Summary
Two years after mild success with the platform, Nintendo releases a stunning upgrade that improves the console in almost every way.
Introduction
The Nintendo DS was once considered a failure. The system had been out on the market for two years, lagging behind Sony's PlayStation Portable in sales, and there was an obvious lack of quality games developed for it. Coupling these reasons with its unattractive, awkward design and low-quality display panels, it's no wonder why the DS hadn't take off like previous consoles. However, in 2006, Nintendo thrilled the world with the DS Lite, a redesigned model of the platform. The gorgeous new system, together with a few wonderful games, launched the DS to a new success. The DS Lite continues to sell now more than ever, even three years after its initial release. Nintendo has reclaimed the throne yet again.
Features and Design
Gamers will first see the difference as soon as they open the box. When closed, the DS Lite is considerably smaller than the original. Furthermore, the top half no longer has that strange, curved shape to it; it has been replaced with a smooth, flat shell. In fact, the entire shape is very straight and rectangular, but with its smooth and rounded edges, fits into your hands comfortably.
However, one does not witness the true change until they open up the DS Lite. Both screens are a great deal bigger than last model's, and the presentation is far better. The colors are all displayed much more smoothly and clearly, and the graphics grab your attention this time around and will appear crisp and striking. With four different brightness settings, the DS Lite can be used in all situations, indoors, and outdoors. The original DS's poor backlight quality has been totally fixed, and then some.
Additionally, the buttons and switches on the bottom half have been moved and reorganized which makes everything much more convenient. Rather than the two rectangular Start and Select buttons above the A-B-X-Y group, they have been relocated to the bottom right and now take the shape of smaller circles. Perhaps the most appreciated change was the movement of the Power button. Originally located right above the directional-pad (which was the source of many accidental shutdowns), it is now seen on the right side of the system. Furthermore, one needs to slide the switch up, rather than pressing it, which completely erases this old problem. All buttons are noticeably easier to press down, and are very soft and enjoyable to touch. Revisions such as these are a blessing to gamers, and we should all thank Nintendo for their efforts.
A further evident modification is the extended battery life. The original DS's 850 mAh battery would only allow the console to last for roughly ten to twelve hours, after a full four-hour charge. However, the DS Lite, on only a three-hour charge, can survive from fifteen to even nineteen hours of gameplay on its 1000 mAh battery. Hours such as these are simply astounding, and this is definitely one of the greatest changes to the DS.
Besides the substantial improvements, there are several minor ones. For instance, the volume switch protrudes from the system, making it easier to adjust the audio level. Another improvement is stylus. The stylus is now longer, and thicker than the original one, making it much easier to hold on to and use. Furthermore, it is held in the right side of the DS, as opposed to the top, which makes it incredibly effortless to remove and put away. Also, the mic has been repositioned to the direct center of the console, for natural usage.
In the midst of all the positives, there are of course a few negatives. While the DS Lite comes close to perfectness, one notices a few bothersome details; the largest of them being the protuberance of the Game Boy Advance game pak. When inserted into the bottom of the console, the top of the cartridge will stick out by about a centimeter, ruining the system's smooth, sleek, rectangular shape. Though this may look unappealing, it does not affect gameplay whatsoever, and your hands will never touch the protruding portion.
Another negative aspect is that for those of you who were used to holding the original DS will have a difficult transition to the DS Lite. Rather than supporting the entire DS with your palm and all your fingers, one only needs to use the very tips of the fingers to balance the device, due to its feathery weight. In the end, the DS Lite will be more comfortable to hold than the original, but the transition may take some time. The only other downside to the product is that it is less secure. The single hinge is much more likely to crack and break that the previous multiple-hinged DS. All of these negatives, however, really are not that significant, and should not sway you from purchasing this remarkable platform.
The DS Lite is exactly what an upgrade should be. It took everything wrong with the design of the original system and improved it tenfold. With improved visuals, lengthy battery life, glossy and sleek figure, bigger screens, and improved button interface, the DS Lite becomes one of Nintendo's greatest consoles created. Everyone who owns an original or even thought about owning one should without a doubt purchase this upgrade. Everyone should understand the power and majesty that is the Nintendo DS Lite, the savior of the Nintendo handheld console.

Nintendo DS Games - World Championship Poker
The Nintendo DS usually misses the mark with casino style games. Is World Championship Poker more of the same? Or is it worth a play?
Nintendo DS Games - World Championship Poker
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Michelle_Strait]Michelle Strait
World Championship Poker for the Nintendo DS is one of the better casino style games available. It's on my list of Nintendo DS top games because of its wide-variety of game selection.
Terrific Poker and Non-Poker Game Selection
The best thing about Nintendo DS World Championship Poker is its variety of games. Many poker players think Texas Hold Em is the only legitimate form of the game. Perhaps people who think that simply watch too much television.
It's almost impossible to turn the channel without seeing a televised poker game. But if you think Texas Hold Em is the only game in town, then you're missing all the fun.
The Games
My favorite poker games are Omaha Hi/Lo and 7-Card Stud Hi/Lo. So it was a surprise to learn that the Nintendo DS version of World Championship Poker includes these games. And even better, there are twelve games in all on this one cartridge. The games are:
* Texas Hold Em
* Double Flop
* Pineapple
* Omaha
* Omaha Hi/Lo
* 7 Card Stud
* 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo
* Baseball
* 5 Card Draw
* Deuces Wild
* Video Poker
* Blackjack
Playing the Game
The fun starts when you play career mode.
In career mode, you walk around the virtual casino in search of a game. The top screen offers a 3D first-person view of where you are in the casino. At the same time, the bottom screen displays an overhead view of your location.
The casino tables each have a different game. You find a table with the game you want, and then tap the table with your stylus to play.
Some tables have quick games that allow you to win a quick buck and move on, like the video poker game. For more involved play you'd pick a tournament table to compete against computer opponents.
Your Opponents
The computer opponents in this game are 3-D models. You see them while they play, and each has their own name, face, and body.
Your opponents are also animated and make certain movements and sounds each time they play a hand. This is fun at first, but gets annoying and repetitive the longer you play. It also makes each hand longer than necessary. Luckily, you can turn the animations off under the options setting.
Thanks to the wireless networking function, you can play the Nintendo DS version of World Championship Poker with friends. Of course, this only works if your friends are within range, and also have a Nintendo DS and the World Championship Poker game. Once connected, everyone can play most of the games together. The only downside is you're unable to name your player in wireless mode. So you have to remember which character is yours.
Overall Rating: Five Poker Chips
I recommend this game for anyone who enjoys portable gaming and poker. You can practice your skills without sitting in front of your computer or waiting for a live game.
It's also a great way to pass time while waiting in line or stuck in a waiting room. So if you're interested in portable poker gaming, get a copy of World Championship Poker for the Nintendo DS.

Three Great Nintendo DS Titles For People on the Go
If you are in to hand-held gaming on the go, here are some Nintendo DS titles that you should check out for your next road trip or bus ride to work. These games are easy to pick up and very addictive.
Three Great Nintendo DS Titles For People on the Go
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Josh_Volk]Josh Volk
Hand-held games have come a long way since the original Gameboy and the Nintendo DS takes hand-held gaming to a new level by incorporating a touch screen and a microphone. Here are three of the best Nintendo DS games for quick pick up and play.
1. Clubhouse Games. This game is sort of hard to find now because it came out a few years ago now and was picked up by many people. It is also a game that never gets old because you can always find a game to pass the time. With over 40 different games to play, including bowling, solitaire and poker with custom poker tables, you will find something to occupy your time no matter how long or short that time happens to be. Many of these games can be picked up and played for just a few short minutes, and if you have the time, there are deeper games on here as well like Chess, Mahjong solitaire and Field Tactics. Many of these games can also be played online using the integrated Wi-Fi as well.
2. N+. If you are a ninja at heart, then N+ is your game. In this pocket sized version of the PC game, you control a ninja that must navigate through levels to collect gold on the way to the end of the level. Along the way, you will have to avoid rockets, spikes and other deadly traps that are meant to end your ninja life. There are great physics in the game and you can easily pick this game up and play it for a few minutes or a few hours depending on how much time you have. Be warned though, the further into the game you get, the harder the levels become, almost to the point of impossibility.
3. Space Invaders Extreme 2. The classic arcade game gets a whole new makeover as you pilot a ship while trying to stop an alien advance. The game takes place over both of the screens and incorporates some really kicking beats into the soundtrack. Every laser you shoot and every alien ship you destroy creates a sound and you can play to the music to create your own rhythm. There are even boss battles and fully moving backgrounds to keep the action fast-paced and frantic. This is a game for those looking to get their 80's arcade fantasies back and is also perfect for those on the go as the battles are fast and the game can be completed at your own pace.
While the [http://www.pokerchips.com]poker tables in Clubhouse Games aren't going to replace Vegas anytime soon, they do provide a great sense of fun, without losing real money.

Surfing the Internet on the Nintendo DS Lite
Nintendo DS Lite is not only a game console. You can also use it for surfing the Internet, anywhere in the Wi-Fi (hot spot) area. Thanks to Opera who created an Internet browser for surfing the websites and checking e-mail. Actually your DS Lite doesn't have the Internet browser, you need Nintendo DS Internet Browser, sold separately.

Nintendo DS Lite is not only a game console. You can also use it for surfing the Internet, anywhere in the Wi-Fi (hotspot) area. Thanks to Opera who created an Internet browser for surfing the websites and checking e-mail.
Actually your DS Lite doesn't have the Internet browser, you need Nintendo DS Internet Browser, sold separately. To run the browser on the console, you need to upgrade its RAM. Fortunately, Nintendo DS Internet Browser cartridge is bundled with a RAM expansion. To install the Nintendo DS Internet Browser package to your DS Lite, insert the browser cartridge into cartridge slot behind the console, and insert RAM expansion into the Game Boy Advance slot - in front of the console. (If you have original Nintendo DS, there is also available the Nintendo DS Internet Browser version for the console.)
After inserting the cartridge and the RAM expansion, then turn your DS Lite on. The first time you run the browser, you have to do some setups. The setups are selecting keyboard language, setting up the time zone of your region, creating a password (if you wish to use it), and setting up the Internet connection. If you have used your console for playing Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection-compatible game, you do not need to do any more Wi-Fi configuration for connecting it to the Internet. The Nintendo DS Browser is ready for accessing the Internet.
When surfing the Internet, your DS Lite may be slightly slow when loading the Web pages. But the flaw is not big deal compared to it's convenience for surfing the Internet anywhere in the hot spot area. You don't need to bring a bigger system such as a laptop for just browsing Internet on the go. And you have larger screens for displaying the Web pages than a smart phone.
You will even have two screens of the DS Lite for displaying Web pages. Both screens can display a Web page at the same time. The upper screen displays top part of a web page, and the lower screen displays the rest, they combine to make a single screen. And you have another option: the upper screen displays the normal page, and the lower screen displays a soft keyboard for entering Web addresses or completing forms.
On the other view mode, you can also see a smaller version of a web page on the lower screen which has a zoom window that you can move around with the stylus. Place the zoom window on any area and the magnifying area will appear on the upper screen.
The Nintendo DS Browser has usual browser functionality, including a forward and back buttons, refresh, find, zoom, remove images, and save your bookmarks. While the browser can display Java-Scripts and images of all sizes, but it does not support audio, video, and flash. Also, if you revisit a website, the page will be loaded completely again because there's no cache.
Apart from the imperfection, the dual screens of the DS Lite will give you more experiences for surfing the Web pages.

Today, more than ever every man and woman who is sexually active needs to know the importance of practicing safe sex.
If you are seriously interested in practicing the kind of safe sex that is both enjoyable and more importantly keeps you safe and healthy then you will be glad to know that in this article you will discover three things that everyone should know about safe sex.
Safe Sex Tips- Everyone Should Know These Three Things
Safe Sex Tip #1-Having Two Condoms Is Better than One - Believe it or not sometimes the only reason why sexual partners don't use a condom is because the one condom that they had broke or was put on wrong. That's why always carrying at least 2 condoms with you when you believe (or not) that you are going to be sexually active is the safer choice.
Safe Sex Tip #2 - Schedule Regular Check Ups - Whether you are having sex or not, going to the doctor to make sure everything is okay in regards to your sexual health is the safest and most effective way of ensuring that indeed everything is okay.
Safe Sex Tip #3 - Condoms Are Safe against Some STD's but Not All - For the most part condoms do a great job of protecting you against most STD's and unwanted pregnancies as long as it doesn't break. However, condoms can't protect you from STD's at the places it isn't covering up which is oftentimes the base of the penis as well as the scrotum area. One thing you can do to protect yourself from this problem is using a Carrageenan based personal lubricant which studies have shown helps prevent the contraction of HPV which is one of the main STD's a person can get while wearing a condom.
Okay, so now that you have discovered some safer sex tips perhaps you are wondering what you can do in order to make safer sex more pleasurable sex as well?
One way to give women the kind of powerful orgasms that every woman wants is by applying a high quality female stimulating gel (that contains L-Arginine in it) underneath the hood of her clitoris before beginning any of your sexual activities.

Hacky Sack Shoes - How to Choose the Right Ones
So how do you pick the right shoe for playing Hacky Sack? With many other sports shoes there is a fair amount of cushion on either side of the foot.
Hacky Sack Shoes - How to Choose the Right Ones
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jack_Moe]Jack Moe
Growing up, I was quite active. Playing sports was a daily event for me and my friends. From football to basketball, baseball to Frisbee I played it all, whenever I could. As I'm sure you know, with each sport it was important and quite helpful to have the proper equipment. And, I'd say the most important piece of equipment to have is shoes. For all major sports the proper footwear is easy to find. For football you have numerous types of cleats for outdoor and indoor alike. The same goes for baseball, basketball, tennis, and bowling for that mater. For all of these activities the proper athletic shoes can be found on the Internet, at the mall, any discount shoe store and many other shoe outlets. However, if you play sports that are not in the eye of the main stream, there are probably going to be difficulties finding the proper shoe for your needs. I found myself in this predicament all too often because my favorite sport, above all others, is Hacky Sack.
So how do you pick the right shoe for playing Hacky Sack? With many other sports shoes there is a fair amount of cushion on either side of the foot. Some sports footwear has thick soles or a tread specifically designed for the sport. With Hacky Sack all you need is a flat grip sole similar to a basketball shoe. However, unlike basketball shoes, you don't need all the padding that surrounds the foot. As a matter of fact, the more plain and simple the shoe the better.
Back in the old days as it were, the best thing to use for playing Hacky Sack was pretty much any skate shoe. My first few pairs of Footbag shoes were canvas shoes without large fat toughs, gel soles, and fat laces all of which are undesirable with proper footwear for playing a good game of Hacky Sack. Some people play in boots, sandals or even walking shoes but these options are not ideal.

Hacky Sack Shoes - How to Choose the Right Ones
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jack_Moe]Jack Moe
Growing up, I was quite active. Playing sports was a daily event for me and my friends. From football to basketball, baseball to Frisbee I played it all, whenever I could. As I'm sure you know, with each sport it was important and quite helpful to have the proper equipment. And, I'd say the most important piece of equipment to have is shoes. For all major sports the proper footwear is easy to find. For football you have numerous types of cleats for outdoor and indoor alike. The same goes for baseball, basketball, tennis, and bowling for that mater. For all of these activities the proper athletic shoes can be found on the Internet, at the mall, any discount shoe store and many other shoe outlets. However, if you play sports that are not in the eye of the main stream, there are probably going to be difficulties finding the proper shoe for your needs. I found myself in this predicament all too often because my favorite sport, above all others, is Hacky Sack.
So how do you pick the right shoe for playing Hacky Sack? With many other sports shoes there is a fair amount of cushion on either side of the foot. Some sports footwear has thick soles or a tread specifically designed for the sport. With Hacky Sack all you need is a flat grip sole similar to a basketball shoe. However, unlike basketball shoes, you don't need all the padding that surrounds the foot. As a matter of fact, the more plain and simple the shoe the better.

Sports related merchandise are very often overpriced and hyped. The case of sports shoes and sports jerseys is also the same. Suppose you are an ardent fan of some NFL or NBA team and want to cheer your favorite team during a game. The first thing that you would do is to rush off to a nearby sports store to find the jersey of your team with the name of your favorite player inscribed on it. The store keeper knows that you are in acute need of the merchandise and as such, would jack up his prices to exorbitant levels thinking that you would buy the item at any cost.
This is how many of us end up paying much more what is required. You have to live with the fact that most sports related items, including sports jerseys are priced on the higher side. Even the replica NFL jerseys and cheap NFL jerseys provided by stadium stores are out of reach for many. But fortunately you have an opportunity to buy any jerseys, be it raider jerseys, Dallas Cowboys jerseys or for that matter any jersey, from online stores that sell them at a fraction of the quoted prices.
People tend to relate the term cheap with inefficiency and weakness. But as far as sports jerseys are concerned, this is exactly the opposite. There are many advantages attached to online jersey shopping. You are not supposed to visit crowded stores and jostle with other customers for space. You need not stand in queues for paying up or spend precious fuel in driving up and down in search of such stores. Everything is at your finger tips here. A few clicks of the mouse, and the sports jersey is yours.
Two other items which are generally overpriced are sports shoes and handbags. An original pair of branded shoes would put you back by several hundreds of dollars if bought from a physical store but virtual stores are able to sell this merchandise at very low costs since the operators need only very less money to establish and run an online business when compared to street shops.
The cheap jerseys and replicas sold are mostly of good quality and can even beat the originals in terms of attractiveness. They help you fulfill your fantasy of representing your favorite team, but without any pain. However, it is advisable to buy from experienced online vendors only.
So the next time your favorite team comes down to play at your area, never rush to a sports store in the stadium and splurge stupid money on unnecessary merchandise. Buy from the online store that keeps the best fits for you. Now you can march into the stadium and cheer up the spirits of your team and its members in style. You would get noticed among the crowd, your team would love you for your support and people would start relating you with that particular team. The fact that you paid only a fraction of what others spent to acquire such attention would further increase your happiness.
