This week cover page is a cover story, it about Caribou in the G-5 Marines base. I kind of feel sorry for him now
Law has entered the S.A.D. Manufacturing Room. The door to B block have been close shut, the G-5 Marines worry about Sanji's safety, now that poison cloud has filled the passage way. Sanji then leaps down with two G-5 Marines under his arm from above, saying the battle ended early because Vergo ran off somewhere. The G-5 Marines are wondering if that was the real Vergo, but Tashigi lie and say he was a fake.
Vergo contacts Joker, who is at Dressrosa island. As the two talk a lady wearing a maid outfit attack him, shooting a canon at pinpoint range. But it seems it didn't effect him as he continue to talk to Vergo. Upon hearing that Law has reached the S.A.D. Manufacturing Room, Joker orders Vergo to destroy it, and kill Law without any mercy. He then sends two of his subordinates, Baby 5 (who was trying to kill him a moment ago) and Buffalo to Punk Hazard.
In B block, Brownbeard becomes worried that the PH Dragon will destroy the building letting the poison gas in. Then, Nami use her lightning style: Thunder Trap follow by Usopp using Certain Kill: Green Star and then Robin using Quarento Fleur: Quatro Mano to stop the PH Dragon from moving. Brook and Kinemon deliver the final blow. Nami then notices Chopper upstairs in Monster Point, fighting the zombie giant kids.
+ Law's evil smile
+ Joker just chilling out, while someone try to kill him
+ Baby 5's power, her power look interesting
+ The guy in the top hat look so cool
+ Brook getting mad at the PH Dragon for not wanting to eat him
+ Team Zoro taking down the PH Dragon, while Zoro is chilling
- Oda taking a week off
Hmm, so I guess the S.A.D. is Super Awesome Dragon LOL! Anyway, this chapter was so awesome. There so many thing happening and it seems that we are getting new fighters for the Straw Hats to fight. I can't wait to see Baby 5 fight and who going to be her opponent. I really hope that the first Dragon that Luffy and Zoro kill wasn't a kid
I'll give this chapter 4 out of 5, it was an awesome chapter, but suck I have to wait two weeks for the next one

Hello, everyone and welcome to a One Piece Chapter Review. Check out Elfenlied1012 blog - M vs Clannad: Round Two! & takashichea blogs Weekly Fairy Tail: Ep. 145 & Weekly Arcana Famiglia: Ep. 9
This week cover page is a cover story, it about Jimbei about to kick Caribou's brother & his army of clones butts. I can't wait to see that
CC is wondering about why the G-5 marines and his prisoners was not kill by the poison cloud, he then get a report from one of his centaur henchman that the Straw Hats, G-5 and Law have broken into the lobby and are plainning to escape. CC is shocked by the info and orders the passage way connecting building A and B to be closed and a wall blasted to allow the poison cloud into building A. Chopper is running in the hallway, having got the info about the candy and is wondering which way to go. Vergo then get up and say "that only small fry will fall for that trap", and then he get prepared for a fight.
As the Straw Hats fight against the Centaur gate defenders as well as the G-5 marines blocking their way, the gate begins to close. Some of the G-5 marines sacrifice there lives to save the lovely Tashigi
+ Chopper zooming pass the Centaur
+ The Lovely Monet :)
+ Vergo is ready for some action
+ Law teleporting
+ Brook, Zoro & Kinemon beating up on G-5
+ PH Dragon (I love that dragon)
+ Some of the G-5 marines sacrificing there lives to save Tashigi (it was an awesome scene)
-No Franky
- I starting to like the G-5 marines
It seem like Monet is the one who helping Chopper, wonder what is her story. I really hope Monet or the PH dragon (or both) join the crew after this. I can't believe I feeling for the G-5 marines, they been getting on my nerves, but now I just feel sorry for them. Oda why you making me care for the G-5 marines & Brownbeard? Also it would be cool if Tashigi is reveal to be Kuina and is the big bad of One Piece :)
I'll give this chapter again 3 out of 5, it was a good chapter (it basically set up again, hope we get some action next time)

We had a great time while staying at the Little Yellow House in Cambria! Having the whole family together was amazing...the deer in the yard and across the street were a bonus! TV & wi-fi weren't even missed. Thank you to our wonderful hostess, Regina, for sharing her home with us!
We really enjoyed the town of Cambria. There is lots to see and do in the area, and we definitely enjoyed the laid back atmosphere.
We were disappointed in the little yellow house. It was musty and damp, and not as clean as we would have expected.
When we arrived, the house was very cold, and we couldn't get the furnace lit. Our host was responsive and had her manager fix it that evening. That's a good thing... as it gets cool in the evening in October.
We really enjoyed our stay in Regina's adorable home. Every detail was attended to. The house was easy to find and though only a few blocks off the main road, felt like we were out in the country surrounded by trees.
We did not get cell service (we have AT&T) so it is something to consider if you need to stay in touch. We had to drive into town to get service. This was great for keeping us off devices and enjoying the quiet and each other.
The perfect place. We stayed in Regina's cottage for a week with our two small kids (we brought cribs along). The house has a lot of character and was in a very convenient location. It was great that everything we could have wished for was there. We enjoyed sitting by the outside fire pit in the evenings. Our son loved looking at the deer in the neighbour's backyard. Communication with Regina was excellent, both before our stay and during (through the clear notes she had left).
A wonderful, quiet location and a beautifully presented house. The beds were really comfy and there were lots of games and books to keep our family occupied. I loved the fact there was no TV and no wifi. Plenty of places in town to hook up to the Internet if needs be. Cambria is a lovely little place with good places to eat and even a small theatre. Regina was a great host - good comms and a helpful folder was provided with tips and info on the local area. Would love to return some day.
We spent a week at Regina's house, it was a lovely place with plenty of space and was just as described. Loved the deer walking down the road. Cambria has some ineresting antique shops and galleries and is a very nice town though not alot for young people to do.
This is our second trip to the Little Yellow House, but it certainly will not be our last. It's sweet, comfortable, well located, cozy and welcoming. We highly recommend the LIttle Yellow House. Regina is a wonderful host
Regina's Little Yellow House in Cambria was the perfect spot for our weekend getaway. Regina is a wonderful host ... Very responsive in communicating. Her little cottage is well equipped, and full of sweet memorabilia from days gone by. We will definitely return.
My husband and I loved our stay at the little yellow house. It was like being at the beach cottage of an old friend - cozy, quiet and well-appointed. Definitely recommend!
I was looking for an unconnected retreat and Regina's home was perfect! Almost too perfect that I felt guilty for using the perfectly placed throw blanket on the couch while reading my book. :-) Her house is very comfortable as well as was the featherbed. Regina's communication was clear and she checked in on me at the appropriate times, a well seasoned AirBnB host. Thanks Regina!

Also we would get into Hanoi at a time we could hopefully checkin somewhere and maybe get a couple hours sleep.

No rest for Paolo after survival
Wed, 15 May 2013 19:07:00
Stiliyan Petrov has expressed his gratitude to everyone who has supported him in his battle with acute leukaemia after announcing details of a charity match.
Petrov announced his retirement last week, having not played for Aston Villa since being diagnosed with the disease in March 2012.
The fans have continued to remember him and rise to applaud the Bulgarian in the 19th minute of each match, in reference to his shirt number.
"The feeling is incredible," Petrov told Sky Sports. "I went through something hard but the support from the football family and around the world has been just magnificent."
Petrov's experience has made him want to help others and there will be a game in Sofia on May 26th between old Aston Villa stars and Bulgarian legends, including Hristo Stoichkov.
The match will raise money for the 'Support Stan' campaign, which helps children with leukaemia.
Petrov added: "I am an adult and am stronger and I can go through that, but to see a kid go through something like that, I can't imagine. It causes something horrible.
"To raise money and help these kids will be great."
Villa have had a difficult season without Petrov but Wigan Athletic's defeat at Arsenal on Tuesday ensured their Premier League survival.
"I wasn't really worried," said Petrov. "I believe in these boys. I have seen them in training and have seen the way the manager works.
"The last couple of months have been very good and I think they deserve to be in the Premier League."
The 19-year-old made 10 appearances for the club and came into the first team for the first time this season for the Scottish Communities League Cup semi-final against Inverness.
Mullen looked set to play in the final but his season was ended by a broken foot suffered the previous week against Hibernian.
He wrote on his Twitter account tonight: "Not being offered a contract for next season at hearts.
"Enjoyed being at the club since I was 12 but annoyed the way last few months ended with the injury.
"Absolute gutted at leaving some of the boys gona miss them a lot."
Hearts have previously confirmed that Danny Grainger, Darren Barr, Gordon Smith and Denis Prychynenko would not be offered new contracts, while club captain Marius Zaliukas is also set to move on as the club look to cut costs again.
Motherwell last week opened negotiations with the Scotland squad goalkeeper and St Mirren boss Danny Lennon admitted he looked likely to move on.
But the 29-year-old's destination is unclear with Shiels setting his sights on a deal to bring in the former Ayr player, who began his career at Rugby Park but only made one first-team appearance.
Shiels told BBC Radio Scotland: "The agent has spoken to my chairman as far as I know.
"Craig Samson is a player we would really like to get here because he's a Kilmarnock boy, but besides that he's a really good goalkeeper."
Shiels has already secured Inverness keeper Antonio Reguero on a pre-contract agreement but has not finished his search for experienced shot-stoppers.
Kilmarnock are set to lose first-choice goalkeeper Cammy Bell, who is expected to join Rangers. His previous number two, Kyle Lethern, left the club last month while Anssi Jaakkola's contract expires in the summer.
Shiels added: "We need another goalkeeper, we need two vying for the one position. We have one at the moment and we've got a kid coming in from Ireland.
"Of course I'm interested (in Samson) and I'm also interested in other goalkeepers whose contracts are up."
Hope Powell's side already face world champions Japan at Burton on June 26 ahead of their departure for the tournament.
Powell has selected 23 players for a preparation camp at St George's Park, with Everton's Lucy Bronze selected for the first time.
The 44-year-old Italian completed the first phase of his mission on Wearside last night while sitting in his armchair as Wigan's defeat at Arsenal guaranteed the Black Cats their place in next season's Barclays Premier League.
However, if the players he inherited from Martin O'Neill expected a pat on the back as they prepared for Sunday's final day trip to Tottenham, they were soon disabused of the notion.
Di Canio said: "I told them we can win, draw or lose with dignity, respecting the club's name and the fans who follow them. But if not, I will reduce their holiday.
"I will give them the minimum I can give to them, which is four weeks, 28 days instead of probably 38, 40 or 41.
"It depends because in some way we have to start to change the mentality. Just because I fell in a trap against Aston Villa, I don't want to fall in a trap again.
"I am sure that four or five individuals don't need this kind of situation, but many others have to realise we need to change mentality or we have to use punishments in some way.
"It's not fair, but until the day I am sure that my players can go on the field and in some ways I can remain at home, I have to use anything I can to help change their mentality."
Survival, the very minimum requirement for the season, has justified owner and chairman Ellis Short's decision to replace O'Neill with Di Canio at the end of March, and the new manager has been delighted with the response he has had from his players.
He said: "It was important to maintain this club in the Premier League. I am very happy for the people who gave me the chance to deliver the job, for Ellis, for the Board, for the environment, for the fans, for the players because they were the protagonists.
"They pushed very hard because it was difficult for them to change habits and mentality, but in the end we delivered a great job and we are happy."
However, the improvements he wants to make on the pitch will be backed-up by changes in attitude and discipline off it, and several offenders have already fallen foul of Di Canio's strict regime.
He said: "If you think that, not because they are bad guys, but in the last five days, I have given into my players' hands individually seven fines for silly things - seven, it has never happened before - for very bad things.
"Every Friday morning, there's a signing session upstairs, seven steps - one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, a table - and people forget.
"It is a rule in the contract - it is crucial for the club, for the people, children who, even if they can't see you, hope to have a shirt with 20 signatures - and you forget.
"It's not fair. It has happened many times, but they didn't get fined. Now they are fined because you have to start somewhere, otherwise we are never going to change.
"Small things like this become big problems. We have to respect the rules, otherwise we are never going to change.
"For some, it was easy, for a few of them. For many of them, it was and is still difficult because what I ask is very heavy for some of them.
"For me, it is normal; for John O'Shea, it is normal - he came from an environment [at Manchester United] where people used to throw away boots in people's faces, the best manager in the world - thanks Alex - if they didn't behave well."

Corte Giara Soave Classico 2012
Corte Giara - Veneto - Italy - Soave
2012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
The wine region of Veneto in north-eastern Italy has long been associated with fine wines, but also with the spirit of innovation which is typical of the region and which made it an important area of Europe throughout history. Indeed, today Veneto's wine-makers are recognized as the most modernized in all of Italy, using contemporary techniques to make the best of the high quality grape varietals which flourish in the region. These include the wonderful Garganega varietal, which is the grape used for the production of Veneto's widely loved Soave white wine, and Glera and Verduzzo, which are both used in more traditional wines of the region. The region benefits from a cooler climate, but one which is sheltered by the Alps, producing balanced and consistent climatic conditions ideal for viticulture.
It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.

Tales From the Indie Megabooth - The Best PAX Games You've Never Heard Of
Shaun and Mary canvas the Indie Megabooth at PAX Prime 2014 and talk about their favorite games of the show.
by Andy Bauman on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
Salt & Sanctuary, Hand Of Fate, Star Crawlers, Darkest Dungeon, Endless Legend, Neverending Nightmares, Titan Souls were my favorites from the Mega Indie Booth
That last game looked like a first person version of that hacking game that was featured a couple months ago. I forget the name of it.
The Magic Circle looks like something I'd really enjoy.
I really enjoyed the way this video was shot and edited! I think it would be cool to just have one or two different shots a little bit more far away, were we can see them talking like from the side or something, just some quick shot so it isn't always the same thing with the one talking facing the camera while the one listening is showing it's back. I don't know if I made myself clear... But anyway, it's great to see Gamespot trying something different! Keep it going!
Didn't your moms ever tell you not to play in the street?
The Magic Circle seems rather similar to Double Fine's Hack 'N' Slash. :/
ONE OF THE BEST VIDEO PRODUCTIONS I'VE EVER SEEN ON GAMESPOT. This format of handheld capture of a conversation interspersed with booth footage is really a winner. If it was easy to produce, do more! Very engaging!. If possible make the exterior footage brighter or voice it's at dusk or night and use that somehow. Congrats, guys.
I saw Shaun near the Undead Labs booth taking cosplayer photos, was trying to get J.L. Bourne's autograph for my books. Was busy or would have said Hello. Sad it's almost over though :(
Awesome video! And as a bonus, it made me remember Fez and all the years of expectation (and how it felt great to finally play it when it was out)... :)
The chat on Twitch was really excited for Magic Circle, and so am I. Following it now. :)
Bearzekers looks fun as hell.
Magic Circle reminds me of that Double Fine game, Hack 'n' Slash. Except in 1st person and a bit less cartoony.
And Soundself reminds me of this thing that came on the 3DO sample disk were your spinning into and out of this color screen thing and pressing buttons changes the spin and zoom and adds flashes of different color. It was interesting for about 5 minutes. And it sure as hell didn't make me zen or want to cry. Hopefully this is a LOT more interesting(which it seems to be based on peoples' reactions), like some kind of voice base meditation rock garden or something. I could use more zen in my life.
Some interesting looking games there. The Magic Circle especially looks like a really cool concept to explore.
lol, sounds like Mary went off Pax and into some dude's tent :p "The Magic Circle" looks really interesting. The first game that truely lets you "do what you want" when it comes to story and gameplay mehanics. Cool cool cool!
Pax looks awesome! Hopefully, I'll be visiting it a weekend in the future.
@HailHellfire Oh man I played a bunch of those, Endless Legend is awesome!
@JohnyMyko Hey thanks we're working on new ways to show games we like, and thanks for your thoughts on how we can make it even better! :)
@wEEman33 GAME ONNNNN!
You are being sarcastic, aren't you?
@Pawfalcon I was going to say the same thing about The Magic Circle, it sounds very similar to Hack 'n' Slash. I wonder if they were working on it before they had ever heard of Hack 'n' Slash.
@jecomans As @Pawfalcon mentioned above, there's a game you can get early access on Steam right now that is very similar in general concept to The Magic Circle. It's called Hack 'n' Slash.
@suppaphly42 Someone with grammar like yours should never be criticizing another persons English.
@suppaphly42 Calm down dude
@_Judas_ As @Pawfalcon mentioned above, there's a game you can get early access on Steam right now that is very similar in general concept to The Magic Circle. It's called Hack 'n' Slash.
@hystavito Hey, thanks, I think I'll jump into the EA on that one. I don't usually follow what is going on with Double Fine because I find their output quality varies so drastically, so I need to be pointed in the direction of the good ones.
@hotkoolaid @suppaphly42 sorry. i'm now scared of mods the fact that you have a "staff" next to your title has me even more nervous i just can stand it when people say "like" 5 times in a 10 word sentence

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Coyotes in Glendale, for now
Council agrees to meet NHL's conditions for keeping team
GLENDALE, ARIZ. -- The return of the NHL to Winnipeg appears to be on hold for another year, as the City of Glendale has agreed to meet the league's requirements for keeping the Phoenix Coyotes in Arizona for the 2010-2011 season.
Glendale's seven-member city council voted unanimously Tuesday night to approve a plan to spend up to $25 million to hold onto the troubled franchise for another year if the NHL doesn't find a new buyer dedicated to keeping it in Arizona.
The widely expected move buys Glendale, a western Phoenix suburb with 253,000 people, anywhere from a few more weeks to another year to protect its $180-million investment in Jobing.com Arena, as well as the future of the adjacent Westgate City Center, an eight-million-square-foot commercial development.
The cash will not be paid out to the NHL if a new buyer is found, pledged Glendale city manager Ed Beasley, who described the "hypothetical payment" as a fee to the NHL for operating the arena -- not an agreement to cover the team's losses.
Glendale Mayor Elaine Scruggs called the payment "bridge financing," not an expenditure of public funds. She also expressed annoyance at the criticism directed toward her city.
"This is nothing more than an insurance policy which allows us to move forward," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in an address to council.
A sale to an owner that will keep the Coyotes in Glendale is coming soon, Daly said to cheers from about 250 Coyotes fans inside the Glendale council gallery.
No names were mentioned, but councillors suggested both Ice Edge Holdings and Jerry Reinsdorf remain in the running.
City manager Beasley must now convince financial institutions to extend the city $25 million worth of credit. If he fails to do so, there remains a chance -- growing more remote by the day, however -- the team could still be moved this year.
Several Coyotes fans who watched the proceedings expressed frustration the team's financial woes have turned into a soap opera.
Andrew Williams insisted the Coyotes are gaining traction in Arizona and the team's strong showing at the end of the regular season will only help the team next year.
"Arizona is one of the toughest places for any team," said the Phoenix resident. "The (NFL) Cardinals, one of the oldest teams in sport, took 20 years to develop a fan base."
In an ironic twist, the prospect of the team leaving has some Coyotes concerned Winnipeg hockey fans are acting like vultures.
"The level of hate from Winnipeg people? My god!" said Sueann Canfield. "I think Winnipeg should have a team, but come on. Don't wish what happened to you to happen to us."
Several dozen fans addressed council to express support for the team, but a minority feared the additional expenditure of public funds -- and the appearance the city is being blackmailed by the NHL.
Glendale councillors may not have a choice. Even Cactus Coun. Phil Lieberman, who initially spoke out against the plan as vague and financially irresponsible, said he fears the effects on Westgate Center if the Coyotes leave town and Jobing.com Arena becomes a white elephant.
Retailers and restaurants at the complex depend on the traffic at the games to bring in bodies, as Westgate sits at the western fringe of the Phoenix metropolitan area.
Just before lunch on Tuesday, foot traffic at the complex was light. There was nobody wasting away at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville or any of the other restaurants facing the north entrance to Jobing.com Arena.
That said, businesses in and around Westgate may also pay a price for keeping the team in Glendale. The rescue plan for the Coyotes calls for the creation of a community facilities district, or CFD which would funnel money into the team from area landowners.
Lieberman compared the CFD to a new tax on businesses and expressed skepticism the district could be set up in time.
Council was told it may go ahead even if a new owner is found for the Coyotes. But all of this may be subject to yet another legal battle.
The Goldwater Institute, an Arizona taxpayers' watchdog, considers both the creation of a CFD to fund the arena and the proposed bailout plan to be illegal. Arizona law prevents municipalities from providing excessive subsidies to private businesses.
The institute has already taken the City of Glendale to court over its failure to disclose the nature of its negotiations to hold onto the Coyotes. More legal action may take place if the city goes ahead with its plan to cover the Coyotes' losses.
Last night's vote took place at the end of a 14-item council meeting that also saw Glendale politicians approve matters such as a new liquor licence for the Bangkok Thai Bar B Q and the Desert Mirage Golf Course and a contract for a police psychologist.
In Winnipeg, minor issues like this are referred to the Board of Adjustment or community committees.
But the real difference between the Phoenix area and Winnipeg is the number of hockey fans who show up at save-the-franchise rallies.
About 250 Coyotes fans attended Glendale city council last night. There were several empty seats in the 285-seat gallery.

There's a rainbow over the harbour this morning, I wonder if that means rain or sunshine will prevail. Before we leave we update the blogs and book a hotel in the airport in Doha for our stopover when we return from Namibia. We should get to the port today, so possibly sail tonight.

Digital Picassos — Use Digital Cameras to Create Modern Day Cubism
As with many groundbreaking artistic techniques, the validity of art created with digital tools has been controversial.
But Sarah Schneider and Jake Hurwitz's Digital Picassos are a revolution we can all get behind. Their simple method makes this truly the common man's cubism.
Step 1: Find a couple digital cameras. (Ideally with large screens.)
Step 2: Hold each camera closely over a crucial part of your face as if you're going to take a picture of it.
Step 3: Get a friend to take a picture of you. Rearrange and re-shoot as necessary to make yourself look as ugly as possible.
Check out the site to see more examples of the technique and submit your own!

4 Easy Steps to Making Old-Fashioned Lenticular Images from Your Photos
A lenticular is an image that appears differently depending on how you look at it. If you've ever seen a postcard or movie poster that changes when you look at it from the left vs. the right, you've seen a lenticular.
Lenticulars usually require a special plastic sheet consisting of many tiny convex lenses, but you can make a super simple one with just two photos and some paper.
They make great, unique gifts, and it's a cool way to show off more than one photo (especially related ones) in a single frame.
And it's as simple as slicing, printing, folding and enjoying! Read our tutorial to learn how to do it!

Turn your Computer and Webcam into a Photo booth with Cameroid and Phozi
Sure your camera's got 17 megapixels, a 10x zoom, and all the jiggawatts you could possibly need, but you still feed a couple Washingtons to the photo booth in the mall whenever you pass by. You're a romantic that way.
You'll have to do without the curtain, but webapps Cameroid and Phozi promise to bring some photo booth magic home.
Both work with webcams (either built-in or not) and let you snap a photo and share them off with just a couple clicks.
Like Apple's Photobooth, Cameroid lets you choose from a variety of live image effects, including our favorite: Superhero. Phozi taps the crazy around Japanese Purikura booths, letting you doodle on and decorate your instant snaps with special graphics before sending them to facebook, myspace, xanga, etc.
Both are a ton of fun, and a great way to put that dusty webcam to use!

Photojojo Father's Day Photo Gift Guide 2007
Here's what we know about our dads: They love fishing, golf, mowing the lawn, and taking naps. Alas, the amphibious golf cart equipped with fish-finder, lawn-mowing blade, and squishy pillow has yet to be perfected. (Get to it, inventors!).
Sorry, Pops. Maybe next year. In the meantime, here are some photorific Father's Day alternatives from your friends at Photojojo.

Turn Your Photos into Gibberish — How to Convert Photos into ASCII Art
If you're old-skool like us, you remember hurrying home from school, heading straight for your room, and hunching over your keyboard to log into your favorite MUD, slay dragons, and find treasure.
It was a simpler time. A time when computers didn't have fancy graphics and candy-colored buttons, and if they wanted to show you a cranky green ogre, they didn't use CG. They used our friends "|", "\", "/", and "."
Miss it? Well pop in an Air Supply cassette and surf over to Photo2text. Upload a photo and shiny metal robots turn it into in-stant ASCII. Retro-spiff.
High-contrast photos work best, and your file has to be smaller than 200K. Make a few high-tech adjustments, then take it low-fi at Photo2text.
Convert Photos to ASCII Art at Photo2Text
p.s. Want more ASCII art? Check out Christopher Johnson's ASCII Art Collection, featuring the always-popular "Naked Ladies" section [Maybe not safe for work.. but people, it's ASCII!] And don't miss the ASCII Art Dictionary or Joan Stark's ASCII art. If that last page doesn't take you back, nothing will. It uses java!!
p.p.s. Mac user? Check this out: you can play Quicktime movies as ASCII movies!

The Flip Video — The $100 Digital Video Camera that's Tiny, Cheap, and Fun!
Remember those shoulder-mounted VHS camcorders dad used to haul out at soccer games once a year, "for posterity"? Shrink it down to 1/20th the size, 1/10th the cost, and make it run for a couple hours on a pair of AAs, and you'd have the Flip Video.
When technology works, it's a wonderful thing.
This critter packs a built-in flip-out USB port for downloading 640×480 MPEG4 at 30 frames-per-second (geek-speak for "pretty decent quality") to your PC or Mac, a small LCD to review what you've recorded, a cable to watch videos on your TV in seconds, and a friendly user interface that requires no manual. (Really, truly!)
Cinema-quality video it is not, but surprisingly clear and bright for its size and cost, it is. We've been having a blast using this guy this past week!
We think the Flip Video is perfect for anyone who wants to capture video without hassle, or a rugged camera for little hands.

Currently $103 for 30 min, $125 for 60 min on Amazon

Hey you, yeah you. If you're not subscribed to Photojojo Uncut, you're missing out! You guys recently suggested more ways to send a letter to yourself in the future, and asked us where to find photobooths in the US and abroad.
"Note to Future Self, Please Take a Picture of Me": Create Your Own Ongoing Time Capsule
As Doc Brown and Hiro Nakamura will tell you, sending a message to yourself in the the past is a tricky matter.
Fortunately, sending a message to a future you is far less error-prone, and requires neither flux capacitor nor fantastic genetic mutation.
Our friend Raul recently opened an envelope he sent himself 21 years ago, with instructions to add a photobooth self-portrait to the one contained within it. The similarities two decades later are striking.
Inspired by his example, we've compiled a short list of ideas for creating your own ongoing photo time capsule — an easy, fun photo project you can do anytime.
p.s. Yo, we're on Facebook. Climb aboard the new Friends of Photojojo group!
p.p.s. Anyone know of a reliable way (non e-mail) to send a letter or package to yourself years in the future? Please email!
Take Better Vacation and Travel Photos in Every Situation
Whether you're heading to West Lafayette or West Xylophone, the travel gurus at Fodor's have some travel photography tips for you before you embark on your summer adventures.
Pick up nearly 100 pointers, from how to shoot churches, castles, and canyons, to the nitty-gritty of shooting on mountaintops, in city streets, or at the aquarium. Their guide is written with film cameras in mind, but the basics hold true for digital.
Among their tips:
- For clear campfire shots, let your camera take its exposure readings from a well-lit face. Fire in the frame will throw off your camera's calculations.
- Research your destination and plan a "shooting itinerary" so you don't miss any great shots. (But remember that some of the best photographs are made when you stray from the beaten path.)
- In wild caves, put your camera shutter in the B position and fire your flash multiple times to paint the room with light.
- Underwater, colors will photograph naturally to a depth of about 10 feet but fade away quickly beyond that. Use flash.
Before you hit the road kick it on over to Fodor's for the full list.
And hey, while you're out there, take Yogi Berra's advice: "If you come to a fork in the road, take it."
p.s. Some fun city names we came across while researching this piece that we couldn't help but share: Sandwich, IL, Romance, AK, Batman, Turkey, Hot Coffee, MS, and Rough and Ready, CA. (Okay, OK enough already.)

Entrepreneur and Surfer, I'm a simple person who likes simple things from life. Nature, music, travels, surf and new friends.
I'm pretty much into the "responsible zen" mood, but I should guarantee that I can be pretty funny.
I have a room available, but besides this, I am here at AirBnb because I like hosting and exchanging new experiences. I like being into the travel style and definitely having people from around the globe makes me feel travelling all the time.
Hope you can be my guest.and enjoy your staying. ;)

Off-the-shelf options may rule the roost when it comes to mobile enterprise applications used by businesses and their employees. But there's a productive hen with the ability to lay golden eggs that's gaining greater prominence in this market: custom mobile apps that are fully or partially personalized, tailor-made, and paid for by a company to meet its particular business or mission needs.

Random House is adding three new digital-only imprints to its line-up, according to Publisher's Weekly. The publishing giant -- which announced a merger with Penguin earlier this year -- will introduce Alibi, Flirt, and Hydra. The imprints will produce mysteries/thrillers, YA, and science fiction respectively. Random House is also, reportedly, expanding its romance digital imprint, Loveswept.
According to a post from Random House:
"The format will allow us to publish more quickly and to nimbly embrace what's new in each genre, delivering exciting, fresh, and varied new works every month directly to the digital devices of today's most eager readers. Dedicated to affordable, accessible, and accomplished genre fiction, these four imprints will have unprecedented potential, both in terms of breadth and scope."
According to PW the editorial team will be headed up by Gina Wachtel, associate publisher. The rest of the team will include editors from the genres: Sue Grimshaw, editor-at-large, romance; and Sarah Reed, associate editor, science-fiction and fantasy; Randall Klein, associate editor, mystery and thrillers.
