Welcome to the ZiiP Gaming Community
Founded in 2004 by Scottyboy & Jester, ZiiP is a community designed for gamers who like to play in a fun and friendly environment without any stipulation on being good or having particular skills in any area. Our ethos is to play games as the developers intended and this has led to a close community of friends – many with similar interests outside of the gaming world.
As a community we play a variety of different games and genres. Games that are currently popular include WarThunder, World of Tanks, Heroes & Generals, Titanfall, Landmark, Wildstar and Ghost Recon Phantoms as well as many others.
We're always on the lookout for new players to join us – If you're over 18+ and enjoy playing games after a hard day at work with a few beers.. come join in.
Some of the Games that we play together…
Heroes & Generals
H&G is a Free-to-play FPS set in WW2 that also combines elements of an RTS to give the feel of playing the entire war, and not just a battle.
War Thunder
War Thunder is a next generation MMO combat game dedicated to World War II military aviation, armored vehicles, and fleets.
More Info | Official Website | Forum Chat
World of Tanks
World of Tanks is a team-based massively multiplayer online action game dedicated to armoured warfare.
More Info | Official Website | Forum Chat
Build anything you can imagine. A massive variety of materials with realistic physics means that how you build will influence what you build.
More Info | Official Website | Forum Chat
Payday 2
Rob banks, steal drugs, wear masks and generally cause a bit of chaos with your friends. What more could you want in a game?

Dayz Standalone
Grab your axe if you have one. Find a nice hat and maybe a small bag, then venture out into the wilds of Cherno in search of… well – anything really.

Who are ZiiP – Some core members that you might bump into…
DarkJester - Director
As the founder of ZiiP, DarkJester is the one to blame when things don't work right. Since launching the site in 2004, it has gone through many changes – including becoming a Limited Company in its own right, for which James is the sole Director.
James also has a personal hate of writing blurbs about himself in the 3rd person, therefore – I like most types of games, but I generally stick with conventional first person shooters – especially those with a bit of thought behind them like Heroes & Generals and Dayz. I'm also a bit of a nut for simulator games, which usually raises a few eyebrows when I run them on Twitch.
Real Name: James
Favourite Drink: Erdinger
Best video game played: ToeJam & Earl
Sport most likely to be watching or playing: Formula One
Most likely to be playing on my iPod: Nero
NaloaC - Administrator
Like all members of the admin team within ZiiP, NaloaC is invaluable. His ability to keep his finger on the pulse of gaming news, new releases and banter on the gaming-grapevine usually means he knows about stuff before anyone else. This perfectly suits his role as community administrator.
In the real world, Caolan holds a PhD for his amazing knowledge of Wetlands and also has one or two deer that he looks after on his farmstead. He is renowned for reminding vast numbers of people on social media when Friday as arrived (very useful) and is a connoisseur of fine European beers from various quarters.
Real Name: Caolan
Favourite Drink: Weihenstephaner
Best video game played: HalfLife, probably.
Sport most likely to be watching or playing: Rugby / UFC
Most likely to be playing on my iPod: Fuck Apple

I have NO doubt that if Congress and the White House feel they can get away with it, they will pass legislation to tax 401k's. The last election proved that we now have enough voters who will continue voting for politicians who promise them the most benefits. Few if any of those voters probably have 401k's. Therefore it is no skin off them to support politicians who will take away MY 401k money. After all, it isn't fair that I had the discipline and took the risks to save my money and grow it while they have taken no thought for the future but rather have chosen to live pay check to pay check.

I've basically got the basics but would like to do more jungling. Jungling atm is my favorite role and I would like to get better. I have many junglers and if you can, add me. I mostly go on the weekends though and I do have skype or vent.

Rai, you remade it again? Tsk.
Well, you know what to do with me. Or to me. Or something.
Summoner Name: SkankDanker
Summoner Level: 12
Playing For: 2 weeks
I've been playing this game for about two months now and while I've read a heap of guides and information I still feel like I have a heap to learn.
I probably should use more characters but at the moment these are the main three.
Morgana, Rammus and Sion.
I have learnt how to not die nearly as much, but I really struggle with attacking and other than Morgana, I struggle with farming. I also get a little lost in how to properly attack either using "a" and left click or auto attacking. I seem to mainly auto attack everything.
I also massively struggle playing the game without the screen locked and hence when I play the top section, may game play is terrible.
I also struggle to adapt and select the correct items and adjust to the game style of others.
I've joined the chat and grouped together with others, but it seems like when I do that, we just smash the other team, so it is a case of my team having 1 or 2 people that can simply carry you over the line.
I prefer a tough battle, but with people of the same skill level or slightly better than me so it forces me to improve.
Still here, In college but around.
Also at Skankdanker what you need to do is Dual Q normal's with someone who has got a decently high w/l ratio in normal's. You will be challenged and he though probably not being challenged wont be able to carry the team quite as hard and will also be able to pay more attention to what your doing as well in order to give constructive advice.
Summoner Name: Veniax
Summoner Level: 2 (Don't judge! Haha, I just started)
Playing For: 2 days
For the longest time, my friends have been begging me to start playing LoL. Now that I have started, I will admit that I am completely incompetent at it. I've managed to put down the basics (moving, what the goal is, skills, levels, etc.) but I die very VERY often and I rarely am able to kill any enemy champions. My two most played characters at the moment and Miss Fortune and Caitlyn. I would very much like to be able to play and actual be productive to my team.
Summoner Name: ANG3L1K
Summoner Level : 8
Playing for : a week? Maybe
I would like to learn jungle Warwick better but also working on my overall AD Carry skills being as my favorite champion is Sivir. Also some help with termanology....for example....i did not know what a smurf was til a few days ago and was confused with being called one and yelled and cursed at ALOT. Also need help with when and when not to engage in combat. I have been learning and am currently 13 wins and 4 Losses in normal(not sure if thats good or not i thought it was til someone raged at me for being a smurf and threatening to report me). I would just like to get better in every aspect of this game and be the best player i can be.
Thank you.
PS: I am in the channel alot but have not found a mentor yet.
Name: "LordZelante"
Level: 24
Background: Have been playing RTS's for quite a while know (since warcraft 2) and i have enjoyed them alot. I did do some tournys for sc2 a while back.
Issues: This game i cant wrap my head around. I know the lanes, spawn timers, and all that other jazz. Its just that i cant find out what i am good at yet! (E.g mid, solo top.) Usually i do prettt bad in games for some reason. Please help me out?

Sea otters eat sea urchins, protect kelp forests that trap CO2 from atmosphere - but can they catch up to man-made pollution?
Smart Sea Otter Stacks Cups
Sea Otter Pup
"Nature does nothing uselessly. " - Aristotle
Global warming? Sea otters to the rescue!
Global warming is reaching new records, ice caps continue to melt at an alarming rate, and measures taken by authorities are as rare as they are questionable. But as cute as they are, where do otters step in? Well, as I was telling you, otters like to feast on sea urchins. Sea urchins eat kelp, and kelp forests trap and store massive amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere. A kelp forest 'guarded' by otters can absorb as much as 12 times the amount of CO2 from the atmosphere than one without an otter population.
Published in the respectable online journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, the research that came to this conclusion didn't go unnoticed at all, as professor Chris Wilmers from the University of California, Santa Cruz, explains: "Right now, all the climate change models and proposed methods of sequestering carbon ignore animals. But animals the world over, working in different ways to influence the carbon cycle, might actually have a large impact." He elaborates: "If ecologists can get a better handle on what these impacts are, there might be opportunities for win-win conservations scenarios, whereby animal species are protected or enhanced, and carbon gets sequestered." read more »

Topless Princess Kate Pics Spur Privacy Issues
A French magazine has published photos of the Duchess of Cambridge topless, causing a new scandal for the royal family. The Duchess and her husband Prince William were on private property at a French resort when they were photographed presumably off-limits to the public.

"heal our planet" 82-year-old Roman Catholic nun wants to transform a project which cost more than 7.2 trillion dollars
She has been arrested 40 or 50 times for acts of civil disobedience and once served six months in prison. In the Nevada desert, she and others knelt down to block a truck rumbling across the government's nuclear test site, prompting the authorities to take her into custody.
Now, Sister Megan Rice, 82, a Roman Catholic nun of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, and two male companions have carried out what nuclear experts call the biggest security breach in the history of the nation's atomic complex, making their way to the inner sanctum of the site where the United States keeps crucial nuclear bomb parts and fuel.
"Deadly force is authorized," signs there read. "Halt!" Images of skulls emphasize the lethal danger. With flashlights and bolt cutters, the three defied barbed wire as well as armed guards, video cameras and motion sensors at the Oak Ridge nuclear reservation in Tennessee early on July 28, a Saturday. They splashed blood on the Highly Enriched Uranium Materials Facility — a new windowless, half-billion-dollar plant encircled by enormous guard towers — and hung banners outside its walls.
"Swords into plowshares," read one, quoting the Book of Isaiah. "Spears into pruning hooks." The plant holds the nation's main supply of highly enriched uranium, enough for thousands of nuclear weapons. read more »

One change is certain - the temperature of Earth has been obviously and continuously rising particularly in the last 50 years:
Data on global land-ocean temperature anomalies indicate that Earth has been warming approximately 0.36 Fahrenheit (0.2 degrees Celsius) per decade for the past 30 years. This rapid warming has brought global temperature to within about 1.8 degrees F (1 degree C) of the maximum estimated temperature during the past million years.

Tara is a mom of three and a vice-president at a payroll services company, so she wanted "a style that's easy to take care of and age-appropriate. I don't think I should have the haircut my [teen] daughter does." But with little time to style her thick, heavy hair, Tara didn't always look polished, she admits. She hoped to step it up with a still-low-maintenance update and maybe tweak the color she uses to hide her gray, too. (Her T-shirt by American Apparel.)

Who is Jenny?
Jenny was a recent graduate with a degree in business administration and marketing, and since graduation, had worked outside of the marketing arena in more of a data entry role within a marketing organization. Her goal was to get out of the analytical side of marketing and into more of the creative arena and hopefully secure a marketing and communications role within a corporate environment.
What did I do for Jenny?
Jenny's existing resume did nothing to promote her marketing talents. Not only was her resume outdated in structure, it lacked any visual appeal which is vital when presenting yourself as someone who can "do" marketing! Her original resume started with an objective statement, which served no purpose other than to state the obvious and waste the most important real estate on her resume. It flowed into a profile section which promoted a plethora of soft skills. While "selling" soft skills—organization, listening, multi-tasking, problem solving, communication, etc.—is not a bad idea, they have to be complemented by experience- or academic-based qualifications. I say this as no other candidate on the market today will ever say they do not possess a certain amount of these "general" soft skills, so if you are using them to try to differentiate your candidacy, they are really doing anything but that on your resume. Jenny's resume concluded with her education, related courses, activities, awards, volunteer posts, and experience. Jenny actually had several versions of her resume, some chronological, others functional, but none presented her qualifications in a manner that would have attracted attention from the right audience.
On Jenny's new resume I created a unique design that "sold" her as a marketer. Think about it…if you are preaching that you are able to market, shouldn't you be marketing yourself as evidence of that skill set? Too few candidates realize the impact of their lack of focus and/or creativity on their resumes, and unfortunately blame other aspects of their background or search on the lackluster results they receive.
Through a great format that is sure to command attention, a fully developed qualifications summary, core skills list, education section presenting applicable honors, and a robust experience section exploring Jenny's experience-based differentiators, Jenny now looks like a qualified and marketable candidate.
In regards to the qualifications summary, this is an area in which I see a lot of candidates miss an opportunity to market themselves. Take Jenny's opening on her original resume:
"Objective: To pursue an entry level position in the field of marketing that allows me to expand my knowledge and experience while developing a rewarding and successful career."
Now read her new qualifications summary:
Which gets your attention and immediately "sells" how Jenny is different and aptly qualified for the roles she is seeking? Obviously the latter. See how it isn't just her skills that are "sold" and instead it is a balanced combination of experience, academics (even select school projects), and skills. Think about how the opening of your resume, and whether you write an objective statement vs. a qualifications summary, can truly make the wrong vs. right first impression. By taking the time to differentiate yourself and understand the uniqueness of your candidacy, you are helping your audience—and perhaps yourself—understand why you are a stronger candidate than one of your competitors.
What did Jenny Think?
Jenny wrote, "I love my new resume! I had to read it a few times to make sure it was really me. The wording is perfect. I now feel very confident about sending my resume out to companies and posting it on job boards." Jenny contacted me this spring to have me update her resume (after she had secured the role with the resume I wrote for her earlier), and shortly thereafter wrote, "Once again I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help with my resume. I have received several compliments on it. I have been offered a Marketing and Business Development Assistant position with an amazing company and I could not be happier."

If you love it, then go with it! Trust me, it does not sound like a diner waitress! If it isn't everyone's favorite at first, it will be soon enough. A while ago (before the name Grace was kind of popular) my aunt and uncle named their daughter Grace, and nobody really liked it that much, but after a while it was everyone's favorite name and now everyone loves it!

It does sound old lady-ish but Sylvie is kiddie (as oppose to Sylvia) so it's not all the way there. To me, Sylvia sounds ageless while Sylvie feels like an old woman or a baby
You're not going to get a round of applause over this or any name. If we all liked the same names then there wouldn't be so much variety in the world. If you like it then own it

JU vs. FIU Football Game To Air Statewide on Sunshine Network
Aug. 25, 2004
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Jacksonville University Dolphins will kickoff the 2004 season at Florida International on Thursday, Sept. 2 at 8 p.m. in a game that will be broadcast live on the Sunshine Network. The game, which is Sunshine's first broadcast of the season, will air to a statewide audience of more than 6.1 million homes. This will be the third consecutive season the Dolphins and Panthers have played on Sunshine, but the first meeting for the two programs to open the season. JU is entering its seventh season of intercollegiate football at the Division I-AA non-scholarship level, while FIU is in the transition phase of becoming a Division I-A program and currently offers 70 scholarships. A repeat broadcast of the game will air Sunday, Aug. 29 at 2:30 p.m. and Monday, Aug. 30 at noon. Miami Heat play-by-play announcer Eric Reid will call the action for Sunshine, while former Florida Gator Brady Ackerman provides color analysis and Dave Lamont will be the sideline reporter. The Sunshine Network has a statewide audience of more than 6.1 million homes and it will be the Dolphins' fourth televised football game since the program was started in 1998. "This is another outstanding opportunity to gain maximum exposure for our young program, not only throughout Florida, but all throughout the Southeast," said JU head coach Steve Gilbert, who has guided the Dolphin program since its inception. "With 12 schools now playing football in Florida, it's important for us to take advantage of any opportunities to expose Jacksonville University to the state of Florida and surrounding areas." Florida International will be the first of six scholarship opponents for the Dolphins this season. JU has won eight games against scholarship teams, including a 4-2 mark last season. FIU has defeated the Dolphins in the first two meetings between the two schools, including a 55-12 victory in 2003. Sunshine also begins its second season of TAILGATE SATURDAY hosted by in-studio Whit Watson and Brady Ackerman. Coverage kicks off Saturday mornings at 9:30 a.m. with COLLEGE KICKOFF, a live show previewing all of Florida's major football programs and providing game day insight and analysis. Fans can also recap all the day's action from around the state and ACC/SEC with TAILGATE SATURDAY FOOTBALL WRAP airing at 10 p.m., a none-hour live show breaking down all the day's key games. Available in more than 6.1 million homes statewide, Sunshine Network boasts one of the most impressive lineups of local and regional teams and events in the country. Sunshine currently has agreements with more than a dozen regional teams/properties including the NBA Orlando Magic, NBA Miami Heat and NHL Tampa Bay Lightning. Sunshine Network also has agreements with collegiate powerhouses Florida State, Florida, as well as UCF, the ACC, SEC, MAC and more.

Obama's counterterrorism doctrine: Let locals lead the fight | David Rohde
In a foreign policy address this week, U.S. President Barack Obama gave his clearest outline yet of his counterterrorism strategy. Al Qaeda splinter groups remain the largest threat to the United States, he said, but Washington must respond to it in a new way: by training local security forces, not deploying American ground troops.
"We have to develop a strategy that matches this diffuse threat - one that expands our reach without sending forces that stretch our military too thin, or stir up local resentments," Obama said. "We need partners to fight terrorists alongside us."
But critics say America's past efforts to train local security forces have had mixed results. Washington has a poor track record of applying the long-term resources, funding and attention needed to carry out such efforts successfully.

Secretary Horton did just that for years and none of the oil companies were willing to bite unless there were significant subsidies.Quote:

Nope, you want to drive me to action seriously start talking that way. I will be an NRA member the same day as well as a member of any state associations. Personally on many levels I find the NRA a bit too extreme for even me. So to drive me to join shows you my committment to my constitutional right to own firearms.
Now, consider that many other countries subsidize their fuel. It helps to keep us competitive. Of course this country used to be the richest country in the world. And how did we get that way? It was private industry that gave us our wealth, not government. However, our government has succeeded in taxing our economy to the point that China is now #1.
Hopefully, our legislators will wake up and stop taxing us so much before it is too late.
Eh? Surely you're not going to sit there and state that liberal policies and ideology promote SUV's and "gas guzzlers" are you?Quote:
Yes, Americans only started driving gas guzzling SUVs in the last 7 years, before Bush took office they weren't even invented yet.
Conservative/republican policies and ideas concerning deregulation and the "free market" are well known. It's a complete scam on the American people, and always has been. I mean, the poor oil companies are just struggling to survive in these hard times. :rolleyes:Quote:
And yes, it was Bush's lack of oversight into how much money the OIL companies are allowed to make per gallon of gas that has led to this. We should take over the oil companies and have our politicians run them, and dictate they should only make enough money per gallon of gas to pay employees was they need to live, and only pay investors the same return on investment they would have received by buying Government Saving Bonds.
A crystal ball?? What the hell are you talking about? Chimpy McFlightsuit just doesn't give a damn. Nearly every economist and expert analyst in the nation was predicting this mess for years, while King George fiddled away.Quote:
My Capt at work tells of driving off from pumps because gas was too high, at 69¢ a gallon. You're making fun of a politician who failed to have an accurate crystal ball. Who are you, Nostradamus?
The ones snooping will be the ones determining who has what to hide.Quote:
I've nothing to hide. Go ahead. Look all you want. The ones who are afraid are the ones with something to hide.
You are truly a fool to hold such an ignorant notion.
Now, just how do you figure that? :rolleyes:Quote:
Between the state and federal government there is 80 cents a gallon in taxes.
No ****ing and moaning here, except for consistency. I'm all for giving tax breaks, etc... to bring movies and production into an area, but I'm also for providing the tax climate to keep regular companies here.
I'm guessing you don't have that issue in Southern California, but it is a HUGE issue here. Corporations are leaving this area and this state in droves, and they're doing it entirely because of the tax-climate.
People love to bitch about jobs leaving this country, yet the first move is to call for more taxes on companies, etc... especially from the Democrats, unless it's a company that falls under a typically left-wing industry such as movie production.
You don't think so? Do a little research on this area. We just lost a brewery that was key to the foundation of this city, and we lost it because government here would not budge on giving them a tax break. On the flip side, we have created state laws specific to the benefit of movie making, which has actually brought some movies into the state, including a Depp movie.
Tax breaks for companies work.
If there is Democrat in office, and they're able to convince me they're keeping us safe and preventing future attacks, and innocent people aren't being dragged out of their homes, and we still have free elections, and there are no tanks in the streets, and we can still criticize our government with no repercussions, then no problem.Quote:
I'm sure you'll be just as happy with the infringements of the 4th Ammendment (such as warrantless wiretapping) when a Dem is in the White House.
In other words, if it's just like it is now, then they're doing something right.
Sorry Scarecrow, you're wrong a bit here. the arctic circle lays at 66 degrees 33 mins and there is no oil coming out of there by Canada. Some companies like HBOG, Dome Petroleum and PetroCanada drilled there and found oil alright, but its still there because its too hard and expensive to get south. The Noggies and the Cloggies are nowhere near drilling inside the arctic circle and while Russia has done a bit, its still in the ground too. Drilling in the wildlife refuge may make a difference in a long term outlook, but it would be 20 years before any appreciable difference would be felt in the lower 48. Plain and simple is there needs to be a lot more effort put into an alternative energy source and it sure as heck won't be wind or bio fuels.
I truly believe that our forefathers understood that their may come a time in the course of this great nation that the people would have to once again throw of the chains of tyranny and ensure their future security. In order to accomplish this the citizens of this nation would require arms. Not sporting arms, not hunting arms, not military arms, just arms. Why the term "arms" because in the 18th century the term "arms" was given to mean any type of weapon. In todays terms "arms" should mean the same thing. If as a law abiding citizen of the United States of America desire to lawfully own a firearm, be it a muzzle loading antique used for show or a fully automatic assault rifle, then as long as I legally own it and legally use it then there should be no prohibition on it. Invariably those that mirror my thoughts get labled as "gun nuts" or "anti-government". Nothing could be further from the truth. I am an advocate for safe and legal gun ownership for all citizens. I believe that it is my responsibility to protect myself, my family, and my government and that I should not rely on someone else for that protection.Quote:
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.*
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.* That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,*--That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.*
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
On anther note I notice that yourself and I both use the terms "rights" and "citizens" in the same sentence. I myself believe that the only persons who are "entitled" to the rights guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution are; U.S. citizens and legal guests of the United States. I believe that "our" rights should not be transferred to non-citizens whether they be illegal aliens or combatants against America. You are correct in stating that our 4th and 5th rights are being trampled on. The government should not be allowed to listen in on my conversations without good cause and a legal warrant. I have nothing to hide but I have everything to loose. For those who don't believe me read 1984 by George Orwell, and get back to me. As far as non citizens, i.e. illegal aliens and combatants our Constitution should not afford them the same rights as it does a citizen.
Since you're inept at reading comprehension I'll spell it out for you. We did this do ourselves. We chose to drive inefficient vehicles and live 30 minutes from work. Our rise in power in the last century relied more on the supply of cheap oil than any other factor.
But these factors were exacerbated by the fact that liberal sandal-wearing, granola-eating, tree hugging environ-fascists go into a tissy fit anytime someone wants to drill a new oil well on US soil. Drilling for new oil will not solve this problem, but it will lessen the impact.
If you think price controls is the way to go, then you've economic amnesia. Try reading something from someone who know more than you & I.
Pelosi has said that she wants Bush to release the Strategic Oil Reserves to lower the price. So it's clear that she knows that increasing supply cause a drop in price. So why is she so stupid to prohibit any legislation that would allow for an increase in supply by drilling for it close to home?
She doesn't understand that releasing reserves in not a sustainable action. And if we lose those reserves and encounter a shortage, we are totally screwed.
It is, however, no nuts and bolts model for how to conduct that task, of governance of a free people. The Founders tried a form of national government devoted to the ideas of consent of the governed to the nth degree, under the Articles of Confederation - and it bombed. Similarly, one reason the Confederacy lost the Civil War was the weakness of the central government that it established, in deference to its states rights consent of the governed philosophy - yielding a government so unable to function effectively that an exasperated Jefferson Davis remarked, If the Confederacy fails, there should be written on its tombstone, Died of a Theory.
So that sort of model has been tried, more than once, and its failed.
The Founders were more clever (or at least more flexible in the connection between their philosophic belief and their addressing of reality. They also recognized as few others, in that day or since have that ideas are powerful things - so powerful that any one, allowed untrammeled authority, inevitably becomes tyrannical. Majority rule, untempered, becomes the whim of the mob. The wholesale adoption of a consent of the governed philosophy results in a government with power so atomized that it becomes ineffectual, and so not just unable to protect liberty but inimical to it. No concept, however worthy in the abstract, could or should be given unlimited sway. Ideogical conclusions, and human nature, were never to be entirely trusted.
And so the Constitution was born - the most exquisite counterbalancing of rights and responsibilities, powers and obligations, ceded authority and retained autonomy, that has ever been crafted. Its a work of collective genius, and it very deliberately lacks much -in the way of high-flown rhetoric like that which Jefferson was able to include in the Declaration. Its worth noting that Jeffersons editor on the Declaration, Franklin, was present at the Constitutional Convention - if anyone had authorty to call the developing document a betrayal of the older manifesto, it was him. Yet at the Conventions end, he deemed the sunburst pattern on the back of Washingtons chair to be a rising, not a setting, sun.
A long winded response to be sure. I hope it makes my point regarding the infringements upon the Bill of Rights.
So, no response from you. Hm, I didn't think it would be this easy to get you to see the light.
Gun ownership is a constitutionally protected right, just like your desire to protect the 4th and 5th amendment. A shame you want to pick and choose to fit your agenda.
As for me I would protect all your rights. Including the right to free speech even when you distort the facts and speak on a topic where you have apparently no first hand knowledge.
Have a nice day.
I would like your thoughts on 2 points I brought up.
1. Should one right guaranteed to us in the Constitution's Bill of Rights be limited more than any other right. For example at what point does a citizens right to keep and bear arms become any less important than his right to be secure from illegal search and seizures.
2. Who is granted these rights in the Constitution? Is it a citizen of the United States of America? Is it anyone who is on American soil? Or is it anyone we come in contact with?
On second thought we made need to start a new thread as this doesn't exactly fall in line with the orginal posters theme.
And BTW. I agree. If I had the ability and resources I would own a 1928A1 Thompson. One of my neighbors carried one in VN when he was sent there as an "advisor" during the Kennedy administration. He said it weighed it a ton while carrying through the jungle but it delivered a punch when it was needed most.
I guess one thing we agree on is the Thompson...nothing like a good old .45 caliber classic Tommy Gun. Which by the way until 1934 you could go down to the local hardware store and buy just like you could buy a shovel or a hammer.
1. Terrorist/Combatant detainees and whether or not they should receive the same protection under our Constitution in regards to civilian law or should they be held under military law. My personal thoughts on this is that these particular individuals whether captured overseas or in the United States should be prosecuted according to military law.
2. Illegal Aliens that commit crimes on U.S. soil. At what point does the rights afforded to U.S. citizens carry over to those who are not citizens and are not here legally?
We'll skip the torture debate for now as I was thinking more inline with what due process rights, search and seizure rights, etc. that non-citizens should be entitled to.

The first Tizen phone
TechCrunch, Ars Technica, Gizmodo, and The Verge today have sizable articles discussing the the first Tizen-powered phone to hit the market: the Samsung Z.
The range of tone and angles in the articles is fascinating. They also aptly demonstrate my third law of the Internet: For every opinion, there is an equal and opposite opinion. For example, The Verge says, "The phone will have a major disadvantage right out of the gate--[it] won't have access to the vast ecosystem of Android apps that has been built up over recent years." But TechCrunch reports, "The Z will include access to a Tizen app store, which means buyers can expect a few thousand native apps. [The] Open Mobile application compatibility later [sic] will enable the handset to run Android apps too."
I wasn't expecting anyone would actually ever bring a Tizen-powered phone to market, so I haven't been following development of this open-source mobile OS. But I will now be doing so and am wishing the phone well.

node: No such file or directory
TL;DR: When installing the nodejs package on Debian, you'll probably need to install nodejs-legacy along with it.
If you are trying to use Node.js on Debian, you might get a node: No such file or directory error. I did. The root of the problem is that, 'Both LinuxNode (package "node") and node.js (package "nodejs") are designed to be accessed through the command name "node"' (bug #614907). Debian's solution is to make Node.js access happen through the nodejs command, move the command that previously used the node command to ax25-node, and (it seems) to let nobody use the node command.
Of course this breaks everything that expects the node command to invoke Node.js, and that's why you see the error. Fortunately, the Debian solution also has a workaround: package nodejs-legacy installs a symlink from node to nodejs.

Quicktile is an nifty Python script by Stephan Sokolow that lets you tile windows in non-tiling window managers. I am currently using it with Xfce and Fluxbox (with and without xcompmgr). So far it has been pretty sweet.
The default key-bindings assume you have a numeric keypad, which my main lappy lacks. So, I cobbled together the following
quicktile.cfg. It uses the alphabetic keys on the right side of a QWERTY keyboard, with key locations mapping to tile location. It also uses Windows+Alt to mask the commands instead of the original Ctrl+Windows.
cfg_schema = 1
UseWorkarea = True
ModMask = Mod1 Mod4
C = move-to-center
H = horizontal-maximize
V = vertical-maximize
0 = maximize
b = bottom-left

Controlling thumbnails in Thunar
Maybe I'm weird, but I don't like seeing thumbnails of my PDF documents in my file manager. This post pointed the way toward fixing that in Thunar. More concisely, Thunar uses a package called
and then edit the local
You'll also have to delete the unwanted thumbnails from
tumbler to generate thumbnails, and this is controlled by a config file. So, begin by making a local copy of the config file:

Paul Pecorella began his journey of beauty and fashion in Pachino, Sicily, where he was born and raised. Following his passion for hair design, he eventually travelled to Rome and Milan, studying the craft and cementing his aesthetic. Then, in the 1960s, opportunity carried him across the Atlantic to Yorkville, where he obtained the title of Master Cutter and opened his salon. Now, dedicated to inspiring young stylists with that same zeal for fashion, Paul and his staff train New Talent artists in sophisticated scissor choreography while showing Mother Nature respect through eco-friendly Aveda products and proper table etiquette.
The mane artists at Paul Pecorella Hair Salon & Spa specialize in upstyling and technical colour, and invigorate tresses with chic cuts, textured styles, and hydrating follicle treatments supplemented by the organic, conditioning plant oils of Aveda products. Like a megaphone made from a rolled-up rainbow, Paul Pecorella's salon announces its commitment to style with vibrant colour palettes that revolve around lime and mint to inspire stylists as they flourish their craft.
Second Skin Medspa, helmed by licensed medical aesthetician Rose Cruz, pampers and retouches skin while adhering to stringent safety and sanitation standards. Cruz draws on more than 14 years of experience of practicing medical aesthetics in Vancouver and Toronto to perform chemical peels, banish acne, and care for diabetic feet, a specialty she learned at the North American School of Podology. IPL laser hair removal leaves skin smooth, and fractional skin resurfacing and photofacials help to fade fine lines and restore a youthful appearance without requiring one to eat play-doh. The spa also treats nails with relaxing manicures and pedicures that promote foot health and include a soak in a sanitary pipeless tub.
In the waiting room, a grid of circular mirrors reflects teal and white decor as clients sink into a wide couch with pillows. During pedicures, guests can rest on a plush white couch, stretch an arm over an ebony side table, and inhale gentle aromas from a diffuser in the corner.
Hailed as one of the Best Manicure[s] in Toronto by blogTO for "excel[ling] in ambiance and friendliness," Fabulous Manicure Bar bustles with talented nail technicians gussying up digits within a sleek white-on-white interior dappled with shabby chic mirrors and bubblegum-pink paintings. Dedicated to performing natural nail services, Fabulous Manicure Bar's staff revamps fingers and toes via services that incorporate nature-made ingredients such as mint leaves, lavender, and rose petals. While specializing in mitt and paw beautification, the spa's aestheticians also whisk away unwanted facial hair via waxing services that render visages well-groomed and primed for aerodynamic pie diving. To foster a warm and welcoming atmosphere, clients sink into comfy armchairs and indulge in cookies and tea served in fine china while hands and feet receive their just desserts. A chandelier dangles as the centrepiece to the spa's elegant decor, flashing in Morse code to request its favourite smooth-jazz songs, which soothe ears throughout the spa treatments.
Allure Body Bar doesn't have trickling waterfalls, crystal chandeliers, or frilly robes. Instead, the spa has highly trained professionals—self-described as "total clean freaks"—who deliver top-notch beauty treatments in a sanitary, relaxed, and comfortable environment. They specialize in hair-removal services for women, men, and politicians, ousting hair with a cream-based wax that suits even the most sensitive skin. To allay fears or misconceptions about waxing treatments, the hair-removal specialists begin appointments by explaining what's about to happen and how it's going to feel. They also offer up this FAQ page for first-time Brazilian or manzilian clients and answer intimate questions about another treatment they offer, vajazzling. In addition to these services, the beauty pros offer skincare treatments and massage therapy.
"I now use many of the noninvasive medical services I offer at my clinics to fight the aging process. I have personally never felt or looked better and I am now in my forties," says Eleanor Welsh, founder of Skin Vitality Medical Clinic. Using Elos laser and radio frequency technology, her team of registered nurses and registered practical nurses is able to reshape bodies, erase body hair, and tighten skin with the push of a button. Their skill with beauty injectables comes from extensive training from Allergan and other pharmaceutical companies, giving them the deft ability to leave clients' faces more youthful than a rosebud in a sippy cup. For more dramatic results, Dr. Conor B. Turley performs cosmetic surgeries such as tucks, augmentations, and lifts.
At Concepts Salon & Spa, clients beautify on their own terms, choosing treatments from a menu of salon and spa services or building their own spa package. Styling services remove dead ends or inundate strands with moisturizing treatments from Aveda, Kérastase, or Goldwell. And aesthetic services such as waxing, facials, and eyelash extensions grace exteriors with the subtle accents. Concepts Salon & Spa's aesthetic sessions typically span roughly an hour, during which the aestheticians wield professional products designed to leave skin feeling more refreshed than a hibernating bear that just woke up under a coconut tree.

Fi News #103 - Fire near Perth friary ( 8 min) >>> Play Ave Maria! The friars had a bushfire not far from their Perth friary on March 13, 2011. It looked really bad at first, but it was on the other side of a limestone quarry in a native bush parkland area surrounded by firefighters. If the wind changed direction, or the fire managed to get around the quarry, then we might have a repeat of last year's fire. Fortunately, the firefighters kept the perimeter of the fire under control and pretty much let the interior burn. Planes and helicopters dropped water on the fire all day and just before evening it was put out. To Download Audio go to http://airmaria.com?p=18719

Maintenance staff is fast and does a great job. So far this area has been quiet, no rift raft and lots of places to walk or bike where there used to be a golf course. The gym is brand new and I have never had a problem with parking. Update: We did move out after living there for two years. Maintenance was always fast and very helpful. They did come into our unit to update the plumbing for around 4-5 days and left the place very dirty. Our infant seemed to have also picked up allergies thereafter and it took about 4 months for her to get it out of her system. There was no alarming charges when they did finally expections.

This complex had everything I was looking for, but after 5 months of living here I can't wait to leave. I can tell where the person upstairs is at all times. All of our neighbors let their dogs do their business and NEVER clean up. I have to have the bug guy come every weekend or we have roaches. And the last straw was a leaky window that developed mold and after a month of complaining nothing has happened. I have a 1 year old son and he can't play out side, is constantly sick because of the mold, and is always being woken up by the guy upstairs. For these prices, go rent an actual house!

My boyfriend got a scholarship to go to the law school near by so we had to pick up and move from Illinois and start over. He had been down for orientation in April 2012 and had 3 apartments he said he would be happy with living in St. Johns, The Glades and The Reserve. He didn't sign a lease because it was a little too early and we didn't need a place until August 2012. Come June, he and I both had been trying to get a hold of all 3 places and St. John's was the only one that called us back. When I informed them we were still in Illinois and wouldn't be down in Florida until we were moving in, they worked with us. She (Nicole) e-mailed everything to us and made sure to call and make sure things were going smoothly. She even called the day before we moved in to check up on us, ask if we needed anything and to see how the long drive was going. We have a cat who has separation anxiety and will run down the stairs to the door when he hears someone coming or see's us going and they have made sure to work with us so he doesn't get out. Maintenance is always quick to come and are super friendly. They are not creepy like the other places I have lived. They were doing some up dating like the roof and plumbing which was a little annoying but that is not the end of the world. We began looking for a different place to live only because we wanted a second bedroom and we didn't think we could afford the two bedroom here. We searched for months and even put in our notice to leave. We are both students, and my financial aid got put on a hold. We are un sure of the amount I will be getting and decided it would be better to not risk moving to a different place that is a little bit more. They let us rescind our notice with no problems and even offered to work with us on a two bedroom if we wanted the extra room. After doing research and visiting every single apartment complex in the area... nothing compares to St. John's. Thanks for everything!

We have live here for 5 1/2 years (wherein everything including the Office Management was pleasant and nice, I might add) and unfortunately, just renewed our lease until July 2013. Due to the new rules and "make-overs" (which will be costing the renters quite a bit of extra money) the new owners and management company have instigated - yes, I said instigated not instituted, we will most definitely not be renewing our lease next year.

All too often, database development is an afterthought in Agile Development. Developers perfect how best to implement a solution in code, but tend to spend too little time on representing that solution in the Database. This is unfortunate, given that 65% of your change requests require changes to the application schema, according to independent research conducted by Simon Management Group. This finding implies that Database changes are every bit as important as the Application Code, and should be treated as tier-one artifacts in your release process.
At Datical, we typically find that development organizations process Database changes in one of two ways:
- Developers author Database changes, which must then be reviewed and approved by the DBA team, or
- Developers submit Database change requests to the DBA team, who then author changes.
Either scenario would work fine, as long as one or more of the DBA team could be dedicated to capturing and processing the required Database changes. But the truth is that most DBA teams are stretched too thin to keep up with the Developers, supporting both "System DBA" work like provisioning or troubleshooting, and the more strategic "Application DBA" work of deploying packages to the appropriate environments or evolving the application's schema.
In either case, Database changes often end up being the bottleneck in your develop-test-deploy process. It would be easy to blame the DBAs, but remember that they are charged with maintaining the integrity of your Systems of Record and protecting the data which is the lifeblood of the business. What's needed is a different perspective.
To extend the idea of Extreme Programming: if Agile Development is good, then let's do Agile Development all the time. Limiting Agile Development to one platform or one team is simply unacceptable. If we are going to get the flexibility we need to deliver compelling solutions to our customers quickly, we need to be Agile all through the software development life-cycle, not simply in Application Development, and that means we need to bring Agile Development to the Database.

James, Cavs Owner Could Mend Differences, Reunite
The breakup of LeBron James and Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert was beyond bitter. Once aligned as basketball partners, James and Gilbert could barely stand the sight of each other during Miami's games in Cleveland the past four years. Cleveland, without a major sports championship to celebrate in almost 50 years, is praying for a reunion.

Government readies £120m media buying review in marketing shake-up
By Maisie McCabe, campaignlive.co.uk, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 11:30AM
The Government is preparing to review its media buying business, currently handled by WPP's M4C and expected to be worth in the region of £120m next year, as part of a shake-up in its approach to its marketing activities.
The media review will form part of the coalition's new approach to communications, which was outlined at the Agile Government Communications Conference for suppliers in Westminster yesterday.
It is not clear when the review will officially take place, but it is expected to happen towards the end of 2012 to enable the process to have been completed in time for the 2013 /2014 financial year.
The review will focus on "ensuring that best value is delivered through the current framework, using lessons learned to inform the future strategy".
Last year, Government advertising from its various departments commanded in the region of £70m, those close to the situation expect this to edge nearer to the £120m mark next year, as the Government now looks to harness advertising to stimulate economic growth in the UK.
Martin Sorrell's WPP Group created the bespoke M4C in February 2010 to handle what was then £250m of centralised media spend from the Government. The contract started in April 2010 and was initially set to run until 2014. How this has been brought forward remains unknown.
No one was available for comment from the Government at time of writing.
The Government's own figures show it spent £77m on advertising in the year to March 2012, up from £48m the previous year.
All Government tenders are now handled through the Government Procurement Service and in a statement it said it plans to review its central media buying account as part of its programme of "future activity".
Elsewhere, the Government plans to tender for agencies to provide creative services and delivery and execution services (including direct marketing and digital media) in July. Appointments for both will be made in October 2012.
In September, the Government will tender for its second framework including market research, communications planning and strategy and planning. A decision will be made in November 2012.
The Government Communication Centre (GCC), led by executive director of government communications Jenny Grey, picked up some of the duties of the Central Office of Information after its closure at the end of March.
Under the programme of future activity promoting economic growth will be a priority and activity will include targeting entrepreneurs and business and encouraging people to take up apprenticeships.
Grey said: "There is an opportunity to take a more holistic view of how communications campaigns and activities could dovetail, particularly where there are overlapping audiences and potential channels to reach those audiences.
"That is one of the major reasons why we are working together across departments and arms length bodies to produce the Government's first ever proactive communication plan summarising the planned activities of each group of departments and arms-length bodies for the coming year.
"There is much more to do, but collaborating in this way has already enabled us to identify priorities for future efficiency and improvement.
"It also means we can be more confident that we are extracting the maximum value from every pound spent on communications, while continuing to deliver high quality communications programmes."

I think Lenovo finally made a good convertible laptop
At one point I momentarily thought about getting the Thinkpad 2. It had that signature thinkpad keyboard (pro and con), thin design, USB ports on tab, and full Office 2013. Only thing was the daunting price. And that keyboard was much too small and the tab too. So when I saw the Lenovo Lynx which has everything I need with an awesome keyboard and excellent price it makes me very happy. Anyone with me?

Forgive but I forget the manager's name who helped me but my movers were hours late in arriving to pick up my items from my apartment. I called Uncle Bob's and the manager was willing to come back to the storage unit and help me activate my unit and get everything set up.
