The latest iPhone 5S and 5C rumors Video
The latest iPhone 5S and 5C rumors Video Transcript
What's good? Brian Tong here, and welcome to the Apple Byte for everything good and bad, you name it, inside the world of Apple. There's lots of iPhone news and rumors this week. The September 10th is getting closer, so I just wanted to prepare you for it. And we start with a report from the Wall Street Journal. This is Apple's as their Assembler Hon Hai Precision Industry Company to begin shipping the new high-end and low-end phones in early September. We even predicted on this show last year that Apple should bring 2 phones to the market. Yeah, I know we predicted two different screen sizes, which we probably not getting, but it looks pretty certain that we'll see Apple announcing two different iPhone models at the same time for the first time and everyone remembers their first time right on a Byte. Now we told you last week about the rumors of a gold phone, you know, that one will now all things D is confirming that Apple will indeed release a gold iPhone that's more of an elegant gold-tone like champagne. Now their sources say, it will be a white front face with a gold-tone back plate and tampered edge like this mock-up from iMore. And it made me wonder what other great things have we seen that are gold. Well, the Oympics have the gold medal. Mario jumps around look like gold coins, and in Japan, they have the golden turd and there's even pills with 24 karat gold flakes in them, so you can actually poop gold. Clearly, the gold iPhone has a really prestigious company. Now the iPhone 5C is still getting headed on by the hardcore Apple fans, but the reality, is that it's not the phone targeting them. KGI analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo is predicting that the 5C will actually replace the iPhone 5 in the line-up and it will support TDD LTE used by China mobile to give Apple a huge boost overseas. But the expected iPhone 5S will still be the more popular model globally and exceed the 5C in shipments. All right, this week's leaked Apple part from nowherelse.fr is the rear shell of the next gen iPad and iPad mini. It jives with everything we've heard and seen about the design over the past few months, so we thought we just show it to you anyways. And looking into the future with Apple pens, the big A has been granted a pen called "Working with 3D objects" for 3D gesture control on touch devices. Now, this would allow the user to extend the multi-touch capabilities used on the screen to the air space above the screen allowing for 3D manipulation of objects with 3D gesture inputs. So, you could spend a dice around that would be displayed on the screen while your fingers are manipulating it above it and it something I've always wanted to do in life. Now if you guys missed this one, Apple's also researching flexible headphone connectors to prevent them from potentially breaking. By using flexible or elastic parts on the connector, the plug would be able to withstand moderate bending that might break other connectors and no one wants a connector stuck inside the port. All right, to the quick Bytes, Team Nike Fuelband developer and fitness expert Jay Blahnik confirms his join in Apple's team and is likely working on something that goes maybe on your wrist or even the next iHeadband. I want that. Now all signs point to something iWatch-related obviously. But the fuelband is honestly the weakest fitness band on the bunch and it just has Nike's marketing muscle. So we better see more than just a made-up calculation we can't track called Fuel on the next iWatch. And I'm sorry but, I'm just keeping it real. All right, Google has updated some of its apps with some really cool bells and whistles. The YouTube app on iOS has just been updated and you can now multi-task in the app by dragging your video from the top to the bottom to have your video playing in the bottom corner while still searching for more videos and swipe in to get rid of it. It's a sweet update we're checking out, so you guys should look at that. And if you're using Google Maps like I am, it started integrating traffic data from their acquisition with Waze so you can see if there's any accidents, road construction or hazards in your area by going to the traffic tab in. I'm loving this update. And the Jobs movie, you know, the one with Ashton Kutcher has been out in theaters and it made an estimated 6.7 million dollars of the weekend according to Box Office Mojo. The Steve Jobs' biopic earned less than 1/3 as much as the Facebook movie and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniack called Kutcher disingenuous and believes the movie is wildly inaccurate. It also has 26 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes and-- yikes. That's a bad Apple. Now this is not looking good. Maybe some of you enjoyed it but I'm not planning on CNET and I'll wait for Aaron Sorkin's interpretation instead because he's pretty good. All right, our show is out early this week because I'm in the NYC so we're gonna extend the Monster DNA headphone giveaway valued at over $200 for one more week. That means, you have more time to send me your video submissions of you dancing like a crazy. It can be a YouTube, Vine or Instagram and send your link to the firstname.lastname@example.com or tweet me @BrianTong. And this has to a video you just shot because people sending me links like 2 years ago. It ain't gonna cut it and you really need to bring your A-game. All right. That's gonna do it for this week's show. I'm Brian Tong. Thanks for watching. We'll catch you guys next week for another byte of the Apple.

Used AppCha previous to this script. Currently having a problem where the quickreply doesn't clear after I post, so I'm unsure if my posts actually go through or not, have to manually erase my quickreply contents, and have to refresh if I had posted an image because there's no way to clear that field when it doesn't clear itself after my post (it took me several minutes to realize it wasn't posting because of a duplicate file entry detected, as my file never cleared). The captcha does auto-update after I hit submit, but everything else remains static. Would appreciate a fix for this.
Looks awesome, pictures block QR.

'Splinter Cell Blacklist'
Sony PlayStation 3 (Xbox 360, PC)
ESRB rating: Mature
Review rating: 4.5 stars
Solid Snake may have introduced the world to stealth game play, but Sam Fisher makes it exciting! In "Splinter Cell Blacklist," the infamous operative returns to save the world, and the series, by focusing on stealth more than action. However, players can still "run-and-gun" through missions if they choose.
The USA is on high alert after a group of underground terrorists known as "The Engineers" announce that they'll execute large-scale attacks every week unless U.S. forces are pulled out of foreign countries. Only Sam Fisher and the 4th Echelon can stop these deadly terrorists and bring relative peace to our country.
I appreciate the ability to customize Sam's loadout before each mission because the default loadout isn't always to my liking. In addition, additional items such as a crossbow and sleeping gas grenades can be unlocked and/or upgraded with points earned in both single and multiplayer modes.
What's cool is that lethal items like regular grenades and silencers can also be used depending on what method is desired. This is one of the few stealth games where the actual gunplay is good enough to use as a main option instead of just a last resort. This means that most missions can be attacked head-on, using stealth or with an effective mix of the two.
The mark and execute mode that lets players mark up to four enemies and then take them out quickly returns, but it seems like less of a cheat now. It's also possible to equip the crossbow with sticky shocker ammo and use mark and execute to eliminate enemies in a non-lethal manner.
Online multiplayer modes run the gamut from tackling missions cooperatively to the return of the popular "Spies vs. Mercs." This mode is a really fun twist on standard competitive modes as one side assumes the roles of stealthy spies while the other side patrols areas as mercs. Both sides have different loadouts, which forces each to play the game very differently.
"Splinter Cell Blacklist" is a great return to the roots of the series.

Wow, 100 posts! I must be quite in love with blogging, seeing that I average about 25 posts a month. I love being part of this wonderful community. Not only do I make wonderful new friends every day, I am so inspired by all the creativity out there that my brain is constantly in overdrive. It is such a load of fun!
In true craft blog tradition, I will have a little giveaway to celebrate my century of posts.
After much thought and indecision, I have decided to part with one of my orange pincushions (blogged about here, here, and here).
Please leave a comment on this post between now and Wednesday, and I will do a random drawing and announce a winner by Friday.
In other news, the blueberry bounty from the backyard resulted in these on Saturday. So yummy!
I picked about two cups of berries again this morning and will probably have to start freezing some soon.

I realize I'm late for the contest but wanted to ask about how you made the stem. I love how it seems to stand up. I'm working on a tomato and that would be the perfect finish. I put in 5 blueberry plants this spring. I've been told it takes 3 years for the plants to start producing, your berries look great.

Clydes scoops Trowers' ex-Saudi head for Middle East push
Readers' comments (7)
A good move for Clydes - Adrian is good lawyer with a lot of regional knowledge and connections, as well as being a very nice chap
What does this have to do with Saudi? When was this guy the head of anything in Saudi Arabia? I am not sure I understand.
Another example of a net contributor leaving Trowers because of the firm's inability to axe the partnership's expensive failures.
AM's promotion is a positive step but only time will tell whether Trowers has the stomach for "well done and farewell" conversations with several old timers.Good luck to Adrian and well done for finally moving on after so long at Trowers.
With one exception, everyone connected with the Trowers Saudi practice has now gone to other firms. A classic example of how not to run a law firm - lack of partner presence on the ground in Saudi, no senior management commitment from London, inappropriate associate staffing (other office rejects), and a failure to overcome a MENA office-wide silo mentality.
Thank God there is Birmingham and the new high speed train in just what Trowers will need to allow its London partners to commute to work.A sensible move by all involved. Clyde & Co are a serious player in the region and are particularly knowledgeable on local laws and practice. Adrian is a good lawyer, committed to MENA and a good fit with Clydes.
Bit rough that Sceptic.
Some of us were rejects from other firms.Update.
Everyone connected with the Trowers Saudi practice has now moved on or is in the process of moving.
What say you now Amison?

Add a CommentThis book is everything that I hate in literature: a story in service to a clear agenda and science fiction so obsessed with technology that every other section is a long explanation of some geeky process. And I loved every page. The book is that good. The story needs the agenda to function, but it is a good story in and of itself, and the agenda is important to consider (the situation described is not far-fetched at all, if hysterical). Doctorow's explanation of technology and hacking is long but easy to follow and well-interwoven with the rest of the text. If computers make your eyes glaze over, you won't be able to follow it, but if you're comfortable with tech-y explanations despite not being capable of producing them yourself, you should have no trouble. Premise: A terrorist attack hits San Francisco, and in its aftermath, California essentially becomes a police state run by the Department of Homeland Security. After being imprisoned and brutally interrogated on an unsubstantiated charge, a teenage hacker decides to fight the system. Gripping. Energetic. Read it.
Very thought-provoking, though the interrogation and torture scenes are a little intense. This book is a little disturbing because you can see this future, with the US government illegally spying on, detaining and torturing its citizens, becoming real so easily. The examination of our technology easily turning "big brother" on us makes this a great modern, techie version of Fahrenheit 451.
This novel doesn't boast stellar writing (in a one-sentence paragraph, Doctorow uses some derivative of "grab" three times) or any truly deep insight into teens' minds. At times, the dialogue is unbearably cheesy (Marcus actually says "Hiya!" -- exclamation mark and all -- to his girlfriend. *gag*), and characters are liable to go on speeches to sledgehammer home an opinion. And yet, somewhow, the reader isn't likely to mind the long passages of narration as Marcus details the crypting of the Xnet, SMTP tunneling, and the Onion Router, which I wish I'd read of when I went to China and its great Internet Firewall. And Marcus explains things clearly, with plenty of analogies, so that when he says, "If you've never programmed a computer, you should. There's nothing like it in the whole world. When you program a computer, it does exactly what you tell it to do" (p. 119), you're inclined to agree with him. (Trust me, I took a programming course last year and really -- programs actually do whatever you tell it to do. It's exhilarating... and maddening, when you fail to debug the program properly.) It isn't the action sequences that stand out in Little Brother, the prison questioning and torture; it's the quiet (then not-so-quiet) pushing-back of Marcus's network, the "Don't trust anyone under 25", the realizations and redrawings of what terrorism means, and how technology isn't meant to keep things secret; it's meant to keep things secure. This book truly is relevant, so please, read it.
How very "ironic" that a book like this is written by someone like Doctorow, a complete fraud and farce who censors his web site (boingboing.net) in order to keep it as vanilla as possible, that is, as commercially viable and therefore content-free. In these days of WikiLeaks, Bradley Manning, John Kiriakou, Thomas Drake, Dr. Cate Jenkins, Edward Snowden, and many others, a fraud like Doctorow should never be countenanced!
I really liked this book which is weird because when I read it, I was still reading all teen romance novels and nothing else. One day, on a whim I picked it up and realized how awesome books can be even without it being mainly about two people falling in love. Books like this are the reason why, if you don't usually read, you should step out of your comfort zone and try something new.
"Following a terrorist attack on San Francisco, the overzealous Department of Homeland Security takes control of the city, restricting civil liberties and harshly interrogating innocent people - including techno-geek Marcus, who is swept up in a random raid. After he's finally released, Marcus becomes the driving force behind a group of teens who are determined to fight the oppressive system. Fans of dystopian fiction, particularly when it involves overthrowing tyrannical regimes, are sure to enjoy this exciting and thought-provoking story, which continues in the sequel Homeland."

For my lenghthy comment on Inland Security go to the Audio CD of this book. All of this CAN legally happen in the US. Probably also Canada. P.S. I'm more than twice thirty but that does not mean that I automatically believe the government, any government.
I personally loved the story. I had some backround info about most of the references he used,and the story was great. Cory Doctorow really knows how to make interesting scenarios and the characters were believable. The question it present made readers think and aprreciate what it really meant to have freedom. The only downside was that the pacing slowed down after the vampbomb incident, and form there it dragged a little to me. Also the newspaper reporter, Barbra Standford felt just added on randomley, even though she technically had a key role to the plot
Add Age SuitabilitySummary
Add a SummaryMarcus is a likable if undeniably cocky hero — he hacks cellphones, sasses clueless authority figures and quotes the Declaration of Independence from memory. That cockiness gets scuffed a little in the disaster, and both the story and Marcus himself acquire grit and interest as a result. The fear and humiliation he experiences in interrogation are vividly detailed, and afterward Marcus takes a principled stand that leads him into an ingenious program of resistance and civil rights activism.
Add a NoticeSexual Content: First book I've read in which a character has sex. Also there is sexual dialog as well.

Attention true believers! Daring Disney dispenses 4 billion big ones to buyout mighty Marvel, its merry mutants, and stupendous superheroes!
Okay, rewind. To make that most tangential of relationships possible (just so we can blog about comics, of course): following Disney's Pixar acquisition, Steve Jobs -- then CEO of Pixar and still CEO of iPhone maker, Apple Inc. -- became Disney's largest shareholder. Now reports are circulating that Disney is buying Marvel Comics -- home of Spider-Man, the Hulk, Fantastic Four, Wolverine and the X-Men, and a literal fortunes worth of other character properties, for a cool $4 billion.
While this does mean Disney will likely be better positioned to compete against Warner Bros. and their portfolio of DC characters (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Watchmen, etc.), other than eventually being able to watch a Disney-produced Marvel film via iTunes, it probably doesn't mean much for Apple -- and certainly doesn't mean we'll see adamantium shelled iPhone any time ever.
But, again, it does give us the chance to geek out and project Steve Jobs as the new owner of Marvel. Or as the new Kingpin. Or Doctor Strange, if the 60s fit is better. Or...
Dunno, which Marvel Character is the most Steve Jobs?
[Thanks to our buddy Phil from WMExperts for the tip!]
I don't think any marvel characters fit Steve Jobs persona but I do know one D.C. Character which fit his mold perfectly, Bruce Wayne .... He is filthy RICH.... Just like our good buddy at apple :)
Disney just better let Marvel do your thing. I don't want Mickey Mouse mixing with Iron Man. I hope they keep doing the same thing just don't let Disney water anything down. Does this mean an end to R rated movies? I bet Universal Studios are crying right now.
Could this acquisition be somehow related to the ability of tablets to offer a wonderful e-comics viewing experience? Just wondering..
And to answer yer question I fell Jobs would be a terrific Dr. Victor Von Doom for this character is obsessed with tech and acts as a enlightened despot. Apple would be his own Latveria.
Steve Jobs being a share holder means nothing here folks.
Disney ownership is disperse, and Jobs does not even rise to a 5% level of ownership, the first level where you need to report to the SEC.
This story has nothing to do with the iPhone or Apple.
I'd say Apple got special treatment from Disney when it lauched movies and series at the iTunes Store. If ever the Apple tablet has e-comics or motion comics I am fairly sure that Marvel would be in there after this deal. And remember, Steve Jobs is still Chief Shareholder of the Walt Disney Co.
I just dont wanna see mickey and donald replacing storm n gambit as xmen and i dont want wolverine in fantasmic
No comment. Please. Please. Back away
from the limo and let the big man through. I hear your pain Rene. Secretly Rene has been developing a new site called, themarvelblog.com where there are forums, the marvel blog forums and most importantly, it shall have an acronym also: TMb. (tim-bee) there will also be the Marvel Live podcast available in iTunes shortly.
I don't know... I see jobs more as an Apocalypse guy myself. Silently attempting to conquer the world. Just my thought...
Holy Crap!! What are the Marvel movies going to be like when the come out? gay Disney versions? Whats the next spiderman movie going to be like? This doesnt look good!!!
What's gonna happen to my Marvel stock, is gonna turn to Disney or is Marvel gonna remain Marvel but Disney managed?
The question is not which character is Jobs most like, its who does he picture himself as.
I propose Galactus -- God like Destroyer of Worlds (or in Steve's case destroyer of markets).
Or how about Thor -- God but in human form tortured by infirmaties.
There is a theme there :)
Steve Jobs would be the "Tinkerer". That was the guy who supplied all the super villains with their gear and gizmos.
Jobs is clearly Reed Richards, I just hope Wolverine doesn't have mickey mouse ears in the next movie! Screw Dullsney...Make Mine Marvel!!!
"Steve Jobs is most like Tony Stark"
Hmmm. Interesting. Superpowered but with a bad heart. Works on lots of levels.
@icebike According to Disney's most recent proxy statement, Jobs owns 7.4% of Disney's common stock:http://amedia.disney.go.com/investorrelations/proxy/proxy_2009.pdf

A few 2012 highlights:
Spring | We left for New York and pretty much fell in love with it right away. We saw a concert in Carnegie Hall, visited Central Park and the Highline, spotted Taylor Tomasi Hill on the street, enjoyed Fleet Week and Brooklyn, and soaked up NYC as much as we could. I did my first ever outfit post. We took advantage of being on the east coast and took a quick trip back home.
Summer | Matt's job brought us to Seattle for a few weeks {my first time there!} We loved Bainbridge Island, kayaking on the Fourth of July, and had a date on top of the famous space needle. I shared some of my recent eBay finds and also a fun DIY. I did a second edition of Insta-Outfits. We took total advantage of Washington's awesome scenery and things to do outdoors {1 + 2}
Fall | We celebrated our two year anniversary, I shared a few pictures from around our house, as well as another outfit post. I took a short and sweet trip home to visit with family and enlisted some help with my Craigslist chairs {more on that in 2013!}. We had a wonderful visit to central CA for some good friend's wedding and celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas with family and friends.

Cooking time: 10 minutes
2 tablespoons virgin olive oil 2 cloves garlic, chopped 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest 18 baby bok choy, trimmed

European stock markets fell. France's CAC-40 fell 0.8 percent, Britain's FTSE fell 0.2 percent and Germany's DAX lost 0.4 percent. Insurers such as Munich Re, Aviva PLC and Zurich Insurance fared worse than other stocks as investors worried about the potential cost of the storm's damage.
"The economic impact cannot be underestimated," said Elsa Lignos, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets.
The uncertainty generated by the storm comes at the start of a big week in the United States. This is the last full week before next Tuesday's presidential election and culminates Friday with the release of monthly jobs data, which many analysts think could have an impact on the vote.
"A significant swing in either direction is likely to be heavily reported in the media, potentially swinging the undecided voter," said James Hughes, chief market analyst at Alpari, of the jobs figures.
Some companies are postponing quarterly earnings reports scheduled for release early this week. So far, that includes Pfizer Inc. and Thomson Reuters. Burger King reported on schedule, and said its third-quarter net income fell 83 percent as revenue was hurt by the stronger dollar. Adjusted results topped expectations, however.
Even with many markets shut down, there was some encouraging news about the U.S. economy Monday. The Commerce Department reported that consumer spending increased 0.8 percent in September. That followed a 0.5 percent gain in August and was the best showing since February.
Personal income rose 0.4 percent, an improvement from a slight 0.1 percent gain in August and the best gain since March. It's a closely watched indicator as consumer spending drives about 70 percent of the nation's economic activity.

QPR's underachievement is staggering
Oliver KayChris Robshaw believes that England exorcised a few demons by beating Wales for the first time under Stuart Lancaster at Twickenham yesterday. The 29-18 win secured England's first triple crown since 2003 and keeps alive their hopes of securing the RBS Six Nations Championship going into the last round of matches on Saturday, with Ireland and France also in contention. England led 20-15 at half-time thanks to tries from Danny Care and Luther Burrell, with the boot of Leigh Halfpenny keeping the defending champions in touch. Three second-half penalty goals from Owen Farrell, who finished with 19 points, ensured that England avenged last year's 30-3 defeat in Cardiff, which cost Lancaster's team the chance of a grand slam. "It feels brilliant to have beaten Wales for the first time," Robshaw, the England captain, said. "We were embarrassed at the Millennium Stadium last year, there's no hiding that fact. It was a big defeat. It's been a long year for a lot of us, so to put in a performance like that was fantastic "And the year before they beat us here to pick up the triple crown on our own pitch. That was hard to take. "It is huge to pick up a significant piece of silverware. We have got silverware on the back of individual games, but to get a collective [trophy] is fantastic. As a squad we always said our next step is to pick up silverware and we have done that, and more importantly we have put ourselves in a good posi
If, in some quarters, there was a temptation last night to acclaim Arsenal as FA Cup winners-in-waiting, it should be resisted. If the past year has taught us anything, it is that the old competition still has the ability to enthral and that Wigan Athletic, as they showed by humbling Manchester City once more yesterday, are not to be underestimated. Who says the FA Cup has lost its magic? This was a terrific advertisement for the trophy and a glorious afternoon for Wigan. One might have imagined, after their relegation-tinged triumph over City in last year's final, that their FA Cup dreams had all been realised, but they will, incredibly and most deservedly, be back at Wembley again for the semi-final next month. Just like last May, City's players appeared to underestimate Wigan; Manuel Pellegrini, their manager, suggested as much afterwards. Only four Wi
In his role as England's assistant coach for this tour, Paul Collingwood had spoken this weekend about how far the Twenty20 game has moved on in the past few years, since England won the World Twenty20 on this ground in 2010. On the evidence of the first game of this three-match series, England are in danger of being left well behind, with their first game in the World Twenty20 in Bangladesh looming large, less than two weeks away. To add to their disappointment, Stuart Broad, the captain, will miss the rest of the series to rest a chronic knee injury. An injection to the joint is expected to ensure that Broad will be fit for the first of England's two warm-up matches, also against West Indies, in Fatullah a week tomorrow, but Eoin Morgan is likely to lead England in the final two games of this series, tomorrow and on Thursday.

New version posted: v1.8.5
- Eval version bug fixes (x-axis display span & 0's in status pane)
- Added configurable display span (see settings page)
- added recalculate action to manually update Trimp/TSS values.
The recalculate menu: This basically automates having to go to the custom field and 'blank' an entry if you want TL to re-calculate for whatever reason. There'll be more automation added in this area later, but for now this will help save you some time.

670cc, 51bhp, 98mph, Insurance group
A maxi-scooter that's really a motorbike, with the same engine and chassis as Honda's NC700S and NC700X. Although technically accomplished, the Integra has a utilitarian feel, like a motorcycle made for people who don't particularly like motorcycling.
644cc, 37bhp, 96mph, Insurance group 11
When faced with the prospect of an exciting new genre – supermoto – Honda eschewed the concepts of excitement and boldness and instead produced the Honda FMX650 - a squidgy suet of a motorcycle. It is perky enough if you're a new biker, possibly, but unless mere adequacy is your buying criteria there are better motorcycles than the Honda FMX650. ...
124cc, 11.3bhp, 75mph, Insurance group 7
The problem with the Honda NSR125R, and all other two-stroke 125cc motorcycles out there, is that the newer, four-stroke, Honda CBR125R has come along and made them look expensive and unreliable. The Honda NSR125R itself isn't a bad motorcycle, but it's way too dear and way too hard to de-restrict. Honda NR750 superbike styling looks great.

Thank you for over 7.7 million views of the SuccuWiki!
For other uses of the word Succubus, see Succubus (disambiguation).
The Brachina is an insidious devil that specializes in corrupting the servants of the gods. They are the result, depending on which lore you believe, of either an extremely powerfully levelled Erinyes, or, the crossing of a Succubus and an Erinyes. This type of Devil originally appeared in the Fiendish Codex II supplement rule book. It is designed to be played in the third edition ruleset of the Dungeons and and Dragons role playing game. While it's proper name is Brachina, it is also known as a Pleasure Devil.
Contents |
This female figure has long, amber hair with violet pools for eyes. She is dressed in revealing garb, and a smile plays on her lips. Even as her intoxicating eyes promise countless pleasures, her swollen lips pursed to kiss, something sinister seems to lie behind her otherwise flawless facade.
A brachina, or pleasure devil, as they are more commonly known, is an insidious devil that specializes in corrupting the servants of the gods. Brachinas are specially selected Erinyes who are lifted from their station and endowed with even greater beauty and power. Charged with corrupting the virtuous, they travel to the Material Plane to work their evil, returning to the Nine Hells only when they have succeeded in their task, The punishment for failure is severe; thus, all pleasure devils work doubly hard to corrupt their victim.
When in Hell, pleasure devils, plot and connive like all the rest, grasping at the chance to rise in status to one day join the ranks of Pit Fiends. They are quick to betray others of their kind as it means moving ahead. Pit Fiends and archdevils use Brachinas as playthings, discarding them as quickly as they select them. Thus, these seducers are quick to take any assignment they can to avoid the brutal attentions of their masters.
Position in the Hells
Brachina find love in all the wrong places. They are used throughout the Ministry of Mortal Relations, Espionage and Immortal Diplomacy. Their strong personalities are ideal for bending others to their whim. Anywhere erinyes are mentioned in non-combat intensive positions, brachina can be found as well. Only brachina who are being punished could be found in the Denomination of Strategy, these few notables usually being assigned as sailors.
Belial's court boasts the highest number of non-military brachina, with Dispater a close second. Those of Phlegethos are typically used as whores and slaves, while those of Dis are canny businesswomen who wheel and deal with the best of them.
Glasya's Elite has been expanded to include brachina. Nine 36 HD brachina are members as well. Unfounded rumors abound that Glasya's exceptional mother Bensozia was of this caste.
Known Brachina
- Lady Madori: Dungeon #140 pg 78; a member of Mephistopheles' court
Basic Summoning Statistics
- Spell casing requirement: SM IX as a LE caster (replaces fiendish dire shark)
- Role: Manipulator/Caster
- Notes: Super-Erinyes, the Brachina is an extremely seductive devil who specializes in corrupting the virtuous and the devout. They are just as involved with the petty scheming and jockeying for position as most devils are, but they spend more time attempting to tempt mortals on the Material Plane. If you can resist their charms, they'll serve you well - just be wary of their honeyed words.
- Advantages: A healthy host of beguiling SLAs, plus the option to actually Beguile a foe and make them take a round's worth of actions under your control, both wasting their turn and using it to your advantage. They have a WIS-damaging poison, which might be handy against a few foes. Plenty of scheming social skills and obscure knowledge.
- Disadvantages: Pretty awful in melee. You're unlikely to get much use out of some of their SLAs - Morality Undone won't really help you unless you've got a particular grudge against an arrogant paladin, and it's still almost definitely an evil act.
- Notable SLAs: Charm Monster, Vampiric Touch, Morality Undone, Polymorph, Enthrall, Suggestion, and Produce Flame at will, plus Trap the Soul 1/day.

The runoff election has already been postponed after first being scheduled for July 18 [Reuters report] due to allegations of misconduct during balloting. The votes have divided primarily along ethnic lines, with all candidates running on a similar platform of economic expansion and the rule of law. The presidential election is seen as the first free election in Guinea since attaining independence in 1958. In May, the International Criminal Court (ICC) sent a delegation from the Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) [official websites] to Guinea to further investigate the killing [JURIST report] of more than 150 pro-democracy protesters in Conakry [BBC backgrounder] in September 2009. The protesters had rallied against Guinean military leader Moussa Dadis Camara [BBC profile], who announced in October that he intended to push elections forward three months and stand for election, breaking a promise not to run made shortly after he took power. An assassination attempt on Camara two months later eventually drove him into exile.
[T]he City's total ban on tattoo parlors in Hermosa Beach is not a reasonable "time, place, or manner" restriction because it is substantially broader than necessary to achieve the City's significant health and safety interests and because it entirely forecloses a unique and important method of expression. Moreover, no genuine issue of material fact exists with respect to the constitutionality of the regulation. Thus, we hold that Hermosa Beach Municipal Code § 17.06.070 is facially unconstitutional to the extent that it excludes tattoo parlors.
First Amendment rights have been the focus of numerous court challenges in recent history, often by unpopular groups seeking to have their rights enforced. Also Thursday, the US District Court for the Central District of California, which granted summary judgment against Anderson, ruled that the US military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy violates the First Amendment [JURIST report]. In August, the US District Court for the Western District of Missouri found that Missouri laws banning protests at funerals [JURIST report] are unconstitutional. That case involved the controversial Westboro Baptist Church, and another case involving the same organization will be heard by the Supreme Court [JURIST report] this term.
In 2006, French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin [JURIST news archive] promised to strengthen anti-vandalism laws [JURIST report] in France after a man was injured in violence marking the one-year anniversary of the 2005 riots. In 2006, France began to deport [JURIST report] some of the foreign rioters. In early 2006, France lifted its state of emergency [JURIST report] implemented during the riots. The riots began in late October 2005 and continued into November [JURIST report] of that year.
Phillips began the trial [JURIST report] in July. Last month, a US military officer filed a lawsuit [complaint, PDF; JURIST report] seeking to enjoin the military from discharging him under DADT. In May, the House of Representatives and the Senate Armed Services Committee [official websites] voted to repeal the policy after President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Robert Gates agreed to a compromise [JURIST reports] that would prevent the repeal from taking effect until the completion of a review to determine what effects the repeal would have on military effectiveness, soldier retention and family readiness. Also in May, A CNN poll [results, PDF] released found that 78 percent of American adults believe that homosexuals should be able to serve openly in the military. In March, Gates announced changes to the enforcement [JURIST report] of the policy to make it more difficult to expel openly gay service members from the military.
The ordinances were originally struck down [JURIST report] in 2007 by the US District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania [official website]. Barletta previously testified [JURIST report] that the laws were an appropriate response to illegal immigration and attributed a 70 percent increase in violent crime in the city since 2001 to rising illegal immigration. A federal judge ruled [JURIST report] last month that the Nebraska Supreme Court [official website] should be the first forum to hear challenges to a similar ordinance adopted by the city of Fremont. Also in August, Arizona filed its opening brief [JURIST report] in the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit [official website] asking the court to lift the preliminary injunction blocking the state's controversial immigration law [SB 1070 materials; JURIST news archive] from taking full effect.
In July, a US government health committee recommended against lifting the US ban on homosexual blood donors. In March 2009, a Tasmanian court upheld [decision text; JURIST report] an Australian Red Cross [organization website] policy [text] to refuse blood donations from sexually active homosexual males. Petitioner Michael Cain tried to donate blood in 2004, but his offer was refused after he affirmatively answered an inquiry into whether he "had male-to-male sex" in the past 12 months. The tribunal held that Cain's complaint was unsubstantiated and that the conduct of the Red Cross did not amount to direct or indirect discrimination under the Anti-Discrimination Act of 1998 [text].

The Logan County Sheriff's Office arrested a local man on charges of sexual conduct at the Logan County Detention Center (LCDC) Monday.
Jacob Gallagher, 29, faces charges of sexual conduct in a correction facility and first degree official misconduct -- a class 5 felony and a class 1 misdemeanor, respectively.
Deputies transported Gallagher to the LCDC, where he was held with no bond pending advisement. A gag order has been issued on his case.
As a detention deputy, Gallagher would have tended the inmates and kept them secure, according to Investigator Joe McBride. Unlike patrol deputies, detention deputies aren't required to go through a law enforcement academy and typically don't carry guns while on duty at the jail.
More information will be reported as it's known.

Rows of long variable-length icicles hanging off the eaves of homes make up part of the traditional New England scenery and are considered by many to be attractive. The reality is that they are indicators of excessive heat loss and can cause significant damage to a home.
Both old- and new-construction homes are having ice dam problems now that temperatures are at their lowest. While heating systems are generating more heat than any other time of the year as they try to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, when that heat escapes, ice dams result. Where ice dams occur, water gets backed up under shingles and into roofs and walls.
Common solutions to ice dam problems have traditionally (and mistakenly) been to install aluminum strips of roofing or electric heat tape near the eaves. Many continue to recommend enhanced ventilation in the attic either at the soffit or by installing ridge vents.
The problem is that none of the above proposed solutions address the cause of the problem, which is heat loss into the attic. Air leakage in which heated air passes freely into the attic is the primary reason the attic is well above freezing, thereby causing ice and snow to melt on the roof.
Insufficient or poorly installed insulation is the second main cause. Water runs down the roof to the eaves (which extend past the outside wall) and are below freezing (32 degrees), where it then refreezes, creating an ice dam.
So, if heat tape or ventilation isn't the solution, what is? I suggest that homeowners go into their attics with a thermometer and see what the attic temperature is compared to the outdoors. If your attic is above or near 40 degrees when it is below 32 degrees outside, you will find that it makes good economic sense to air seal and to improve insulation.
The first step to addressing the cause of ice dams is thorough attic air sealing. From one end of the attic to the other, points of air-leakage — such as lighting fixtures, vent fans, wiring holes, duct and chimney chases, hatches, changes in ceiling height and wall top plates among others — should all be sealed. This can be done by the homeowner or performed by a professional. Spray foam, caulking and foam board are materials typically used for air sealing.
Only after completing the task of air sealing is adding insulation in order. Ideally, there is nothing wrong with a goal of insulating your attic to a range of R-50 to R-70 in New England. Blown-in cellulose insulation is a good choice, usually better than fiberglass batt insulation, particularly for attics. Another choice is commercially applied spray-applied foam. It is best to let an expert examine the site and determine the type of insulation needed.
We sealed and insulated an attic to R-50 in half a house in Newburyport just before the snowstorms came a few weeks ago. The owner sent me a picture last week of massive icicles hanging from his neighbor's eaves. There were none on the side where we had just insulated. Now, that's a satisfied customer.
