Lunacy Reigns
I would also like to see America divided into two parts. Our part gets the Constitution and the rule of law; the other guys get Obama and liberalism. The difference between the two groups is obvious. Our side would have gotten the Christian woman out of a Sudanese prison cell and the Marine out of a Tijuana jail within 24 hours, or the bombs would have immediately begun falling on Khartoum and Mexico City.
Iraq is No Longer Bush's Legacy; It's Obama's
Vice President Joe Biden said in 2010 interview that he was "very optimistic about Iraq" and that he believed it was "gonna be one of the great achievements of this administration." The statement ignited some controversy at the time, but not because anyone doubted the stability of Iraq. What many… CONTINUE

"Some days you get up and put the horn to your chops and it sounds pretty good and you win. Some days you try and nothing works and the horn wins. This goes on and on and then you die and the horn wins."
definately couldnt pick one. i drool listening to all of them. i probably listen to wynton the most right now. i love his sound (w/the help of his monette of course) and his technique and style are always amazing. btw, my trumpet proffesor got to hang out with maurice andre and she said he is an amazing person. doesnt play much anymore though, which is sad.
I think for me it depends on what horn they are playing, and what genre is being played. Maurice Andre is prolly my most favorite, favorite. Does that make sense?

Of old, I'd have to say Chet Baker, Miles Davis, Maynard Ferguson and Arturo. I listen to quite a few newer guys too....Christian Scott and Sean Jones are awesome. It depends on the day for me too. I listen to Chris Botti quite a bit and have seen him in concert, as well as Roy Hargrove (who I just saw live last week in Oakland, CA). But then I'll throw in a little Tomasz Stanko every now and again just because he's unique.
Like he said was his goal, he deliberately made a second album that no other band in the world could touch.
For ballads it would Maynard Ferguson.
When he plays "The Way We Were" and other ballads into the high register with that beautiful *phrasing* and tone, he is singing like a falsetto Al Martino ("who in the world is Al Martino?" :^)
For pure *fun* I like Lin Biviano when he was with Maynard Ferguson.
When he's not playing he's standing up there in the trumpet section with a certain swagger, a certain body language that says, "Yeah, I'm hot stuff and I know it."
When he's screaming out double C's he's leaning back at 45 degrees like he's going to fall backward and land flat on his back (although he is not leaning back when he demonstrates a passage of "Something" in the Trumpet stuff site?).
During intermission he's out in the audience flirting with the ladies trying to find someone to keep company with after the show (after a long show like that, Biviano was such a humanitarian that he was worried that some lady might be lonely that night and he wanted to do his part to relieve her suffering :^)
I love Randy Purcell playing those beautiful trombone ballads on MF albums, too.

So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

ISA's products and services are organized by technical topic – a selection of technologies, trends, and areas of focus that are relevant to your on-the-job performance:
A new mathematical system that allows undersea robots to self-choreograph their movements in response to their environment may one day power, with no human supervision, other robotic teams that could explore not just oceans, but deserts, rain forests, and even other planets.
One move toward that end: This month an entire fleet of undersea robots will for the first time work together without the aid of humans to make detailed and efficient observations of the ocean in Monterey Bay, Calif.
The goal of this mission is to find out about a periodic upwelling of cold water that occurs at this time of year near Point Año Nuevo, northwest of Monterey Bay.
But the project has other objectives. It may lead to the development of robot fleets that forecast ocean conditions and better protect endangered marine animals, track oil spills, and guide military operations at sea.
The undersea robots in Monterey Bay are part of a program known as Adaptive Sampling and Prediction (ASAP), funded by the Office of Naval Research. Its two co-leaders are Naomi Ehrich Leonard of Princeton University and Steven Ramp of the Naval Postgraduate School.
During the experiment, the ASAP system will determine what paths the underwater robots should follow to take the most information-rich samples, or measurements, of ocean activity. As the ocean changes, automated computer programs will update the sampling strategy under the supervision of the ASAP team. Most of the scientists will not be on site during the actual field experiment. The researchers will gather online in a virtual control room to share observations and make important decisions about necessary changes to the field operation as it is under way.
David Fratantoni of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Naomi Ehrich Leonard of Princeton University prepare Slocum gliders for launch into Monterey Bay.
The underwater robots, known as gliders, will take the ocean's temperature, measure its salinity, estimate the currents, and track the upwelling. Two types of gliders will be deployed: Spray gliders and Slocum gliders. The Slocum gliders belong to David Fratantoni of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution; the Spray gliders belong to Russ Davis of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
In contrast to typical ocean-observing systems, which are static, the mobility of the gliders allows them to capture the dynamic nature of the ocean, which is always shifting in time and space.
Inspired by the behavior of schools of fish, Leonard's group at Princeton created algorithms that allow the gliders to self-choreograph their movements in a series of rectangular patterns. The patterns span a large area the scientists mapped in Monterey Bay.
On a day-to-day basis, the control algorithms allow the gliders to make decisions independently about how to alter their course, without any input from humans. This day-to-day autonomy enables the gliders to move according to the organized patterns, even as they fight strong currents.
As the ocean changes and the robots detect new features, the ASAP team will reorganize the patterns to help guide the gliders toward ocean areas of interest such as eddies and thermal fronts. This process, called "adaptive sampling," should dramatically improve knowledge of the ocean and the ability to predict its chaotic behavior.

U.S. Rep. Roger Williams' Cleburne Office Hung With Tea Bags, "Douchebag Republican" Signs
In Cleburne, of all places, U.S. Rep. Roger Williams' district office door was "vandalized," he tweets, with signs that read "WE'VE HAD ENOUGH TEA. THANKS," "IT'S TIME TO VOTE YOU OUT," "ANTI AMERICAN RACIST" and, with a Donald Trump flourish, "YOU'RE FIRED."
Tea bags were also hung from the door frame, though it's worth pointing out that he actually defeated the Tea Party candidate for his seat last year.
His office says the Cleburne police removed the items and filed the incident under "criminal mischief." "This behavior cannot be tolerated," Williams tweets, referring to the signs and tea bags as "hate speech."
The incident comes during day two of the federal government's partial shutdown, caused by Republicans' insistence that a vote to continue to fund the government be paired with a delay or dismantling of Obamacare.
Upcoming Events
Apparently, even in Cleburne, there exist people (or a person) who have had enough.
It isn't clear at this point whether Williams is among the swelling ranks of Republicans willing to vote for a budget that does not contain a party platform wishlist. Asked this very question, a spokesperson from his office said in an email to Unfair Park: "Rep. Williams will continue fighting to defund, repeal or dismantle Obamacare. So far, there has been no bill put forward that funds the government without halting funds for or making changes to the healthcare law."
We pressed the spokesperson about whether Williams would vote for such a bill if it were put forward. "(Rep. Williams) stands firm on his stance that we have to get back to a budget process and regular order of bills," his office said.
It's unlikely that even a significant percentage of his district feels as the alleged vandals do. That's because the 25th Congressional District has been gerrymandered into a ludicrous form that stretches jaggedly from Cleburne all the way down to Cedar Park, just northwest of Austin. This district has been designed to be ideologically homogeneous, which is an important contributing factor to why Williams' party has led the country into this current quagmire.

Antibacterial soaps are everywhere these days. It seems like every other commercial on TV is advertising soap or a cleaner that "kills 99.9% of germs." It sounds great. Who wouldn't want to have cleaner hands and countertops, right? I know I don't particularly want nasty bacteria and viruses crawling all over my house and my kids. After all, that's how you get sick.

Current Status

However, there is increasing concern that all these great antibacterial products may actually be contributing to the resistance of bacteria to medications that we currently use to kill them. Although antibacterial soaps were developed with the intention of reducing illness, there is little evidence they are actually doing that and increasing concern that they could actually contribute to the very real threat of antibiotic resistance.

Background

Many studies have been performed over the past 30 or so years to test the efficacy of various types of soaps and cleaners. In 2013, the FDA decided to require manufacturers of these over the counter antibacterial products to prove that their products are not only safe but that they provide a benefit that outweighs any risk the ingredients in their products might carry. There is increasing consumer among consumer and environmental groups that ingredients in these products - namely triclosan - may be harmful.

Study Results

In a review of multiple studies spanning nearly thirty years, no significant benefit was found when comparing antibacterial soaps to "regular" soap. Some studies found a connection between the use of triclosan and an increase in antibiotic resistant bacteria. Those results have not been duplicated enough to determine a definite risk, but many researchers and the FDA believe more studies need to be done to determine if the benefits of these products outweigh the potential risks.

Where It Stands

Antibacterial soaps and cleaners provide no greater benefit than regular soaps and cleaners.

Antibacterial soap and cleaners (with 0.1-0.4% triclosan) do not necessarily contribute to drug resistance, but more research is needed to determine if there could be a correlation.

More research is needed to come to any definite conclusions about the risks or benefits of antibacterial products.

The FDA and EPA are reviewing the safety and efficacy of triclosan both in antibacterial products and pesticides.

STEUBENVILLE – A man who claimed a demon took over his body pleaded guilty to rape and was sentenced to six years in prison on Wednesday by Jefferson County Common Pleas Judge Joseph Bruzzese Jr.
Donald Sulzer, 26, of 134 Belmont Court, Toronto, was charged in connection with the June 17 rape of a then 18-year-old woman in Toronto.
County Assistant Prosecutor Edward Littlejohn told Bruzzese that Sulzer claimed his body was taken over by a demon when he put a T-shirt over the victim's head and held a knife to her neck during the rape.
DNA evidence collected from a rape kit and the victim's clothing came back as Sulzer's, according to court records.
"I wasn't thinking straight and forced someone to do something they didn't want to do," Sulzer said.
Sulzer initially pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, but a competency test determined he was able to assist in his own defense.
Bruzzese ruled that Sulzer is a Tier III sex offender, requiring him to report his address to the county sheriff's department every 90 days for life. The judge also said Sulzer will be on mandatory five years of parole after his release from prison.

From now on, all our games have "Run In Browser" button. It allows you to test the game directly in your browser without the need of Download the game or our emulator software. The game can be run in Fullscreen too for maximum game experience and should work on many operating systems including Linux based systems and MACs.
This feature is however not that stable as our emulator (Play NOW! button) so it is still the recommended choice. When you run the game directly in browser, you will not be able to use your saved games once you close the game and we cannot guarantee the flawless run for every possible configuration and machine because we do not have a full control over it and the game performance depends on lots of factors like CPU performance, browser performance, OS.
Still, it is now the fastest and easiest way to try some games even on machine you are not allowed to install anything on like PC in your work or internet cafés. It should be easy to run on Linux, MAC OS or Android too.
Hope you will enjoy it.

The adrenaline rush is here again. Dune - one of the most fascinating military strategy games, takes its name from the sci-fi novel by Frank Herbert 'Dune'. The game is a seamless blend of adventure with economic and military strategy. Paul Atreides, the protagonist is tasked with the ultimate goal of driving Harkonnen from Planet Dune, and sees adventures running through spice extractions, military combat, and protecting against the Fremen Tribes. Here's a short review of what the players can expect with this genre of the game and why this old DOS game can still be played and become addicted to.
The PlotThe game bears an intriguing storyline. Dune is the only planet in the universe that contains Spice and the control on Dune rests on the control of Spice. Paul Atreides, prepares to take to Carthag Tuek, in search of Gurney, who will share the key to stand the ultimate battle against the Harkonnens. He needs to get together with the Fermen Chief to gather as many troops as possible, to escalate the Spice Plantation on the planet. His parents, Duke and Jessica share with him the importance of Spice Plantation on the planet. The secret of the Spice Plantation lies in developing Stillsuits, about which Paul learns from his father and weapon instructor – Duke Leto. For producing the Stillsuits, Paul has to convince the Fremen citizens about the importance of their support and inspire them to join his cause. With great perseverance and consistent effort, he turns the entire tide of the population in his favour and gets them to grow the Spice Plantations and support the production of Stillsuits, which will eventually help them to fight against the Harkonnens. With the help of his mother Jessica, Paul finds out the hidden secrets of the Gurneys palace and identifies every single Fremen from every sietch on the planet. A gruesome battle prepares to happen; the battleground – Arrakis. Who wins? The one who dares to walk beyond himself. The future of the Dune planet rests upon the shoulders of their new hero!
The GameplayThe game has been designed to operate in two different strategic layers – the adventure and top-down strategy layer. The player is at will to interchange between the strategies depending upon the demands of the game, to create his own battle strategies. The game begins with Paul in the Arakeen palace, where the Atreides family presently resides. Paul has to closely understand the essentials of the planet, prepare and orient himself with the economic importance of growing Spices on the planet and its long-term strategic implications. He seeks the help of his mother Jessica's psychic powers, to unlock the hidden doors of the palace and confront his own hidden and psychic powers. Mostly the conversations in the game circle around sharing keys and information to unlock the different stages of the game.
Compatibility and Operating SystemThe Dune game is one of the first adventure and strategy games that has undergone the transition from floppy to hard drives. It is compatible with both Amiga and IBM versions. It has highly improved graphics, voice for all speaking roles and 3D rendering. It has also been designed to render on the Sega Console. Audio has been developed by Stephane Picq and Philip Urich. The Dune has been developed by the Cryo Interactive and published by Virgin Interactive.
The game runs on a real-time mode with the story and the plot manifesting through the various levels of the game. As the player progresses with the game, he is able to unlock the additional features of the game that makes the protagonist player more and more powerful to take on the Harkonnens. The troops on the higher levels unlock weapons such as the crysknives; while they also witness Paul unlock his psychic powers.
In 1988 game company Sierra Online had numerous titles available, which including the enduring Manhunter:New York, including this interactive adventure in which monstrous alien orbs have infiltrated the city of New York, USA and have, unfortunately, devastated the city. The game provides players with various capabilities to fight back, and from one screen to another, which include locations from real world New York City to visit while unravelling the game's mystery, to puzzles that the player must unlock to progress in the game, to computer images of your whereabouts in New York City (in the year 2002) to navigate through the mystery.
The graphics can be characterized as interesting, for the year 1988, as Old DOS PC Games weren't particularly advanced in terms of visuals, and the pictures in Manhunter: New York seem interesting, weird and stark. The sound isn't interesting, though if you're willing to ignore the beeps and hisses characteristic of game technology in the year 1988, there's as yet charm in this game, which for its faults, still rather kicks up a fight, and there may be pleasure in tackling its mystery storyline, although it's not simple. It's a challenging game to play to completion. Fortunately, its charm's apparent right away, as it doesn't require much time to get what's on offer.
It introduces its style of gameplay from early on in the game, revealing its attempt at cinematic storytelling along with a variety of locations in the world of the game and puzzles that tax the player. Regrettably, it's likely will tax your abilities as a player. The gameplay's a tad rudimentary. It's probable that the game designers were concerned with providing a cinematic game experience with limited capabilities for a game than making the puzzles of the game enjoyable. The best of the puzzles include visiting New York locations in a devastated 2002 to examine by moving your mouse pointer to various items on the screen which may return information. The hardest puzzles seem weird and require a bit of guesswork and a bit of dexterity to unlock and therefore to proceed with the game.
Manhunter:New York remains a favourite due to its general bizarreness and eerie design, which tries to go outside of other game worlds into a shattered New York City in the year 2002, and may be the game which has a sci-fi vibe dressed with primitive horror themes, somewhat different than other Games have. To play head-to-head with the puzzle and adventure of Manhunter: New York, you'll certainly need it luck and determination. If you are interested in DOS Games, Manhunter: New York is definitely recommended.
The First Person shooter game has a fascinating plot and a dark but compelling story line. You are Caleb, a merciless gun fighter who has to pave his way in a cruel world, at the age of 17. One among the top old DOS PC games this is divided into several 'episodes' based on the story and your purpose as Caleb is to navigate through multiple levels in order to take revenge against the dark lord. Large rewards await you if you come across those hidden secret areas in the game. The game features a large collection of weapons ranging from ordinary guns to bizarre objects like voodoo dolls. In course of the game, Caleb meets Ophelia, a victim of assault by the dreadful Cult of Tchernobog. Her husband and child were killed and house burned. He was not moved so much by her rugged beauty as her story that she conveyed during her incoherent mumbling. Eventually, he falls in love with the girl and takes her in.
The game begins with Caleb rising from a tomb, and declaring 'I..live..again'. He boards a train, Phantom Express, from the "Miskatonic Station", and later ends up blowing the train as he fights his way forward. The game is filled with horror and cruelty filled themes. While on the path back to the Hall of the Epiphany, which is fraught with peril, Caleb faces numerous puzzles, foes and challenges. Caleb can't accomplish his mission alone, of defeating Tchernobog. The combined power of the Chosen, a cult, will drive their fate to victory. The protagonist awakens and finds himself cold and damp. He is a complete stranger to himself; his master didn't let him die. Filled with rage his scream resonates with that of his master; WHYYY!!?
GameplayThe game permits both single player and multiplayer gaming with the help of LAN, modem or serial cable connection. Blood is one of the most addictive old DOS PC games. The player passes through a range of explosive barrels, puzzles, combination lock doors, dodging lava pits and crushing blocks to venture ahead towards the next level. It is one of the earliest games to facilitate secondary attack modes. The 'super secret' areas in the game are difficult to find but possess great reward for the player. The game incorporates 4 episodes each one made of 9 levels, 7 normal levels while the other two as a secret and a boss level. Most part of the game scenario resembles the 20th century cities, like pubs, museums, civil buildings, mall, mills and hospitals. Some levels consist of Victorian or Edwardian architecture. You may find yourself on board a train on a certain level while in a haunted house in another. The last episode of the game occurs in a setting surrounded by evil temples also featuring ceiling and floor made of blood and flesh. During many scenes in the game, enemies are blown into pieces and rains down on you. Heads are chopped off and kicked around showering blood. The game ensured a violent atmosphere in every theme. The fantasy element found in most old DOS PC games is not missing at all in the 'Blood'.
The last episode The player finds himself in a strange land with a laboratory which supposedly is owned by a mad-scientist. Diving into an aquatic lab he ends up in a charnel house. Reaching the final showdown, Tchernobog's voice could be heard saying "I have awaited you" and asking to kneel before him. Caleb throbbing with rage battles the dark god and finishes him.If you are a lover of old DOS PC games, you definitely cannot miss this one.

How many of you remember that extremely engaging PC DOS game that involved managing a hustling and bustling metropolis? Yes, I am talking about SimCity 2000. I really enjoyed playing this game, which is actually the second installment of the game SimCity that Maxis released on 1994.
What I like about SimCity 2000 is its simplicity in creating and increasing the size of the city. Of course, there are various chances to destroy as you get to destruct using air crashes, earthquake and bulldozers with just simple mouse clicks. However, the real challenge is of course building than destroying. I loved that fact that dreams, hope and lives of millions of Sims are in my hands.
The Power Plant VarietyIn SimCity 2000, the varieties of power plants are as much as nine. These are: Natural gas, Oil, Coal, Wind turbines, Nuclear, Satellite microwave, Solar, Futuristic fusion power and Hydroelectric dams.
I enjoyed building highways in the neighboring cities that helped in increasing the population and trade. Also, it is quite challenging to rebuild the power plants as these come with limited life span.
News to Keep You InformedYou can find news related to the city in the form of newspaper articles that you could subscribe yearly or daily. This newspaper option comes with numerous relevant stories and also several humorous ones. I took special interest on the relevant stories as those stories kept me informed about the city problems through opinion polls, recent disasters in the city, introduction of new technology and warnings about the aging power plants. I had to constantly look for the relevant news headlines, as there were many headlines with no purpose of serving the game, and kept the interest factor active.
Brainstorming activitiesUnlike many other video games that are merely designed as a stress buster or for sheer fun, SimCity 2000. Indeed involves a lot of brainstorming activities. You have to prepare strategies for everything so that things can be maintained in right order. It involves a whole lot of things to make the city grow and for that you have to deal with education, health issues and crime rates, etc. It keeps you on your toes to strategically place schools, hospitals and police stations.
At the same time, you also have to add bus stops, airports, sea ports, stadiums, parks along with managing traffic, budget, face public wrath and much more. You really need to play this game and experience yourself. It gives a great overview about the tasks needed to build and manage a city properly in the form of fun. Go for it!

Though I am not much into those high-end PS or Xbox games, but there was a time when I liked to spend time on my computer with some engaging games. Doom is definitely one game that has a great recall value and its concept is still very exciting in this age of sophisticated games.
Fist Person Shooter GameThis video game belongs to the FPS category that is software released in 1993. Every time I donned the role of Doomguy, I felt the challenge of finding my way through the obstacles created by those innumerous invading demons from hell. It had those three 9-level episodes, which ensured that there is never a dull moment, as the level of challenge kept on increasing with every episode.
Exciting Lighting EffectsWhat I liked most about this game was its scary lighting effects. Though I have experienced many 'scary' video games, but actually found that those were never so scary as claimed by some people.
Rather, I can say that such games are scary up to a certain IQ level. However, Doom shatters such generalization in a big way. With those lights flashing rhythmically and slowly when you walk through and suddenly realize that you are being followed by a hideous beast, is indeed quite an intense experience. For me it was scary, but that gave me the kick to play the game again and again.
Though there are number of blood spraying and pump action events when you encounter those pink monsters, but after a point of time, you feel that the number of enemies could be more. Every time you eliminate a demon, move and turn, you will find a new one that is more deformed creature grotesquely than the previous one. This keeps on sensing a horror, but you do feel the enemies are fairly limited after a point of time.
Weapon Collection is CoolI can definitely say that the collection of weapons that you get to eliminate the demons is cool. You start only with a pistol, but as you keep on gaining power and advance stages, you pick up various ammunition supplies such as a chain gun, shot gun, chainsaw, plasma rifle, rocket launcher and that extremely powerful BFG 9000.
The Power Packs are ExcitingYou also get various power-ups like the backpack that raises your capacity to carry ammunition, first aid kits, armor for restoring health. The berserk pack that not only restore health, but also cause punching attack to deal with huge damage.
I particularly liked the Supernatural blue orbs that boosted up to 200% health and protective suits for surviving the toxic attacks or other useful stuffs such as computer maps, night vision or handling partial invisibility.
All these features are combinedly no less than a revolution for the gamers back then. I would still rate Doom as one of the best video games ever produced till date.

I'd like to announce, that we've just setup a testing version of Dosbox for Java. This new feature allows you playing our games directly in a Java applet in your browser which should work for all users who have at least some newer version of java installed. This applet is, of course, not a replacement of our unique system, which works perfectly for all our games including fullscreen mode and several scaler modes. This applet is the last chance for those, who cannot run the game otherwise for some reason (are in the work for example ;-) ).This feature however currently supports only some of our games and doesn't support saves or fullscreen mode, which we hope, will be solved in some time. The supported games have added a new button "Run in Browser", which runs the game in a java applet without any other requirements directly in your browser.I hope, you'll enjoy this new feature.Happy gaming.
With modern operation systems(OS) based on Windows, Linux or MAC OS, you mostly cannot play old games designed for MS-DOS or old Windows distributions like Windows 3.1 or 95. This article shows your the possibilities of how to play those games.
If you have an old game and an OS that cannot play it properly, you have following options:
This option is mostly reasonable for DOS games even when there are some Windows emulators for Linux or MAC. Emulator is a program, that can run a different program in an environment typical for this program. For example MS-DOS emulator for Windows can run MS-DOS programs in Windows environment.
The best DOS emulator you can find is definitely DOSBOX. About 70% games run in default configuration and you can customize settings for almost every old DOS game. There are several PC emulators like BOCHS but they mostly have poor performance and you will probably not be able to play more complex games. PC emulator is a program emulating a complete PC, with a DOS image, you can boot up a whole new virtual computer. Those emulators are quite ineffective in compare with virtualization mentioned later. You can google some more stuff if interested, just look for "DOS emulator" or "PC emulator" for your system.
Something a little else is VDMSound Project. It emulates old sound card and other hardware to allow playing old DOS games directly under Windows. Unfortunately, this emulator is currently not working with Windows Vista and 7. But if you have NT/2000/XP system it's definitely worth a try,
I will focus on DOSBOX DOS emulator because it is a top of all possible emulators. DOSBOX is available for a wide range of OS including Windows, Linux, MAC and even Solaris is supported. There are also a lot of different frontends available to download at dosbox page. Complete documentation is available here. We will focus here only at some specific options.
When you install DOSBOX, you can play your old games pretty easy. In Windows, you can drag&drop game executable file at the desktop icon and the game will start instantly, detailed description is located here, with workaround for other OS. DOSBOX has some shortcuts to enter/leave fullscreen, change graphics, etc. those shortcuts are available here. Take your time to browse the documentation a bit, it cannot hurt you. Those basic information will be enough to play a wide area of games. Some games however require some special settings to work. every DOSBOX installation contains a configuration file. Name and location can differ based on OS but when you find some game not working with default settings, you will have to change it. Please note, that you will need a specific configuration file for every game that don't work with default settings. You can use program parameter -userconf to load a specific configuration file. Please keep in mind that there can be multiple .EXE files located in your game directory. Refer to the game manual about the meaning of every file if not sure. When you start a DOSBOX without a parameter, you will get a DOS shell. All commands you can use are listed here. You can also use some utilities, take a closer look at MOUNT (for mounting disk devices including CD-ROM), CONFIG (For managing configuration files) and KEYB or IMGMOUNT can be pretty usefull.
In computing, virtualization is the facility that allows multiple operating systems to simultaneously share processor resources in a safe and efficient manner, a facility generically known as hardware virtualization. In the late 1990s x86 virtualization was achieved by complex software techniques which overcame the processor's lack of virtualization support and attained reasonable performance. In the mid 2000s, both Intel and AMD added hardware support to their processors making virtualization software simpler, and later hardware changes provided substantial speed improvements.

Virtualization is a good option to run both Windows or DOS games. You just have to setup a virtual machine and install an old Windows distribution or a simple DOS. Ideally install Windows 95/98 if you have some and you will get a DOS boot capability for free. If you wish to install a DOS only I recommend FreeDOS. It's free and has a lot of modern useful tools included. You can get a nice full distribution packed to an ISO image.This method is unfortunately much more complex and requires some basic skills with OS installation and with DOS OS. Anyway there is a project called RetroUSB that can be very helpful since you can boot an image directly to you virtual machine without a further configuration.
There are several virtualization tools that you can get. Windows users will probably choose a VirtualPC because it can do the job fine and is available for free. A simple guide is already available at our Blog here. There are several other tools like Xen or Qemu but they require advanced computer skills to get them to work. See more information at their web pages. The most suitable solution for all OS is definitely VMware. It is basically not for free, but they offer a VMware player for free that is sufficient for our purpose.
This option is for old Windows games that cannot be run normally. This can be done under Windows only. Modern Windows OS have a mode called "Compatibility mode". In this mode, you can simulate an environment of older Windows systems like Win95. Some old Windows games for Win95/98 or even earlier will work in this mode. You may be even lucky with some newer DOS games.
You can set a compatibility mode for an old executable you wish to run that was designed for Windows 95 or even older. Some DOS games can run too but don't count on it too much. To initiate this dialog simply select preferences of the executable you wish to run. Selecting all checkboxes is usually a best choice but you can experiment with it.
You can discuss your related questions in this forum thread. I will eventually expand this article.

UFO: Enemy Unknown is a first game of X-COM series. This game is epic and I played it countless times. It's my favorite game because I played it a lot as a kid and also because it was pretty easy and you can make a serious alien kick-out. When I was looking at our game site about UFO, I saw some comments about this game being very hard. This is what I cannot allow because of my favorite game so I thought, I will tell something about my experiences and reveal some good tactics.
At first, this guide is for players who played this game already and is not considered as walkthrough but most likely a set of hints. I start with why is this guide called a Rapid Guide. This game can be won in a single day without a single save game at the highest difficulty (I've done it before) and you will enjoy the playing so much that you will change your lunch time to a dinner time :-). I will tell you a set of hints and guides and as I said before, they also require some game experience to make it work right. Even if you want to play without a saved game I recommend to save often and be honest and don't load. The game crashes some time.
Stage one: So it's time to start your new game. Choose the highest difficulty because you require it to advance more quickly. I never recognized some change in alien strategy. The higher difficulty only means, you get more aliens more often and thats good because you will need a lot of alien technology. When the game starts, unequip all you have and sell it except Avalanche missiles for Interceptors and you can keep few rocket launchers even if only explosive rockets are useful. Now you have a good starting cash, buy few Avalanche missiles for Interceptors, Auto-Cannons with explosive and armor piercing ammunition and one rocket tank. Start building your base, you will need two more laboratories to get a required start boost, then some storage, living quarters and if you accidentally have some money left, buy a large radar array. Start researching a laser technology up to a laser rifle. Your first strategy is to blast a few aliens to keep a good fundings and to finish building your base. Don't risk too much, shoot some to the oceans (good score anyway). When you send an Interceptor, send a squad too. You may be a lucky and UFO sits down on his own, then you can attack fast. On missions keep your distance. Arm you Auto-Cannons with an explosive ammunition and use auto-fire to blast them out. Use only tank to explore area and when you see one, blast him with your Auto-Cannons from distance. When you encounter a terror mission, take one or two more tanks and blast everything suspicious you see. When you blast some civilians, don't worry, you cannot do a clean score this early and you need to lower a minus points from a terror and get some alien weaponry.
Stage two: You have already researched a laser rifle and finished building your first base. When you have enough money, start to build more bases. Don't be too ambitious, build a lot of small bases with only one or two hangars, radar and storage rooms. Launch Interceptors from those bases and try to destroy as many alien aircrafts as possible (mostly crash them to the oceans). Take only missions you need and feel, they are easy for you and as closest to your main base as possible. Those additional bases can cover more airspace and give you more credits from shooting down UFOs. Make light infantry (don't try to train some soldiers, they will probably die soon without any armor.) that means only one man with one laser rifle. Laser rifles are cheap, don't need any ammunition and spares your money and Elerium that you will need later. Focus your research on stunning bombs and plasma weapons up to Interceptor mounted plasma cannons.
Stage three: Equip stunning launchers and bombs and get as many live aliens as possible. You need especially Sectoids and Ethereals but don't try to win a fight with Ethereals just now, just grab one alive and go. You can clear all mission with stunning launchers against Sectoids or Floaters, blast their tanks and hardly accessible aliens with your tanks. Focus all research on live aliens with psionic skills, you can use some higher ranking officers if you have some. Your goal is to get a psionic lab as soon as possible. When you have it, build a one or two and hire as many soldiers as possible. After you discover their potential, release everyone with psi-power below 90 or use them as light infantry. Those soldiers will be your strike team, equip them with power suits or flying suits and heavy plasma guns (should have enough clips now without the need of manufacture.)
Stage four: It's time to train your strike team, assign them to psionic training and equip them with Psi-Amps. Add at least two tanks to your strike team. Your missions should be like: Tank exploration, gain control over all aliens you see and make them throw their weapon and come to your location. Then just slay them when they are back in control. Your soldiers will advance very fast in their stats. Try to get some high raking officers and leaders for further research. Be careful about those damn big launchers, they can kill all your team if you stay at one place, you can also change levels with your flying suits. Bombs are effective only in one level. You should have researched almost everything this time with 3 laboratories at full capacity.
Stage five: Fun begins :-) Build Mind Shield and Hyper Wave Decoder in every base so they cannot attack you and you get all information you want. Your strike team are now really bad guys and you can win every mission, just always spare some time for your Psi-Amp and beware of large guided launchers, nothing else can stop you. Now you can do whatever you want and eventually go to the final mission. Last base is as easy as every other base you encountered.
And this is what makes fun about this game. And if you get bored with your supremacy, switch to X-COM: Terror From The Deep. No hints this time, use everything you learned from your previous play and don't expect you don't get kicked, second X-COM game is really much harder. Good gaming.

Every season has its share of under-appreciated, slightly-lower-tier stars that are on the fringe of breaking out and making it to the mid-February stage. Even when players do raise their games, sometimes their career epiphany doesn't occur until midseason or they are just edged out in fan voting and reserve selections by a bigger name or a slightly more proven player.
The talent pool in the NBA is rich with young talent, potential and up-and-coming players, making the star quality broader than ever across the league. While some of these players are immensely talented, some are injury prone, knuckleheads or victims of circumstance on a team loaded with stars. While not everyone on this list will make an all-star team, they are all capable of having an 'all-star' caliber season that could land them on a roster.
The common denominator for players on this list is that they have yet to make an All-Star squad, but there are other factors included.
Conditions for a player to make the list:
- Haven't made an All-Star squad in their NBA Career
- Their games are improving and their career is largely on the upswing
- They must have a legitimate shot at an all-star type season
- Not a part of the 2011 NBA Draft or incoming rookie class

How do you catch a dragonfly? "You have to have a good eye and a fast hand," says Anne Donnelly, a volunteer naturalist at the Landis Arboretum in Esperance. At a pond crowded with cattails and punctuated with the grunts and plops of green frogs, Donnelly demonstrates her insect-snatching skills. Setting her sight on a dragonfly zipping low over the water, she grips the long handle of her net and swipes the air with a ...

Skip to comments.Senator Rand Paul Detained by TSA at Nashville Airport
Posted on 01/23/2012 7:55:54 AM PST by Timber RattlerEdited on 01/23/2012 9:29:31 AM PST by Admin Moderator. [history]
(CNN) -- Authorities blocked U.S. Sen. Rand Paul at the Nashville airport Monday after the Kentucky Republican refused a pat-down at a security checkpoint, his spokeswoman said.
Paul went through a scanner at the airport and set off an alarm, said his spokeswoman, Moira Bagley. He wanted to go through the body scan again instead of getting a pat-down, but officers of the Transportation Security Administration refused, Bagley said.
Read more at cnn.com
Posted by Ron Paul on his Facebook page: "My son Rand is currently being detained by the TSA at the Nashville Airport. I'll share more details as the situation unfolds."
Ron Paul Facebook Page
So what will NDAA really be like after it kicks in in early March?
Story from CNN: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/01/23/breaking-sen-rand-paul-detained-at-airport/
I don't blame him... those pat downs take forever!
Depends on what he did.
Wow, 2,399 comments in 38 minutes.
Don't hold your breath. The TSA is held in contempt and ridicule by a majority, and the agency hasn't lost any power or sleep over it.
But from fox news twitter: "My colleague Mike Levine reports that a law enforcement official says that Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was not detained, despite contrary claims."
I thought congress critters had their own special line to go through? After all they can't be held up by us little people.
I hope that he puts a senatorial hold on every TSA budget that gets submitted from here on in.
Rules are for little people...
So a U.S. Senator is being Detained????
Down into the memory hole...
Why does it say at the link there were no comments?
Yeah, but I know first hand that a single pissed off Senator can do tremendous damage to an agency and its senior management, no matter what it is.
The object on his person picked up by the scanner has been identified as a pocket Constitution. They have called in the bomb squad and a hazmat team to neutralize the terrorist tool.
Sounds like he declined to consent to a sexual assault by TSA agents. Good for him! (Though his father is still a nut.)
You're missing the point-—the TSA rules are so obnoxious that even a U.S. Senator can run afoul of them, and Rand Paul is in a position to do something about it (finally). I bet John Pistole is not a happy camper right now.
Personally, this is probably why I will never fly again.
Hmm, the steel plate in his head set off the metal detector? (sorry, couldn't resist).
...They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.
Or perhaps he breached the peace?
Isn't it against the law to detain a legislator on their way to Congress?
The comments are on Ron Paul's Facebook page. A pretty amazing number of posts for a very short period of time.
You just don't do something like this to a US Senator. Very stupid for TSA.
It is his own fault.
He should have eaten that cupcake before he attempted to go through security with those fine, educated folks.
"I spoke with him five minutes ago and he was being detained indefinitely, Paul spokesperson Moira Bagley said Monday morning.
Read more: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0112/71818.html#ixzz1kIUyMLRB
Indefinitely??? I can assure the TSA will not be able to hold the Senator indefinitely.
Go to post #1 and hit the link to Ron Paul's facebook page, you'll see the comment count. Right now there are 2,719.
LOL. The Constitution is the enemy of the state.
The TSA and the Obama government know no laws.
Wow, 2,399 comments in 38 minutes.
The plate in your own head might need degaussing. /s
One wonder why Rand Paul did not know that.
It's now 2,856!
I believe there is some real truth to your post. They do not have to go through the full body scanners. And they get to b-line to the front. Just like the flight crew. Sort of sucks when you're next a slew of them come marching up.
Like when they tried to Confiscate the Congressional Medal of Honor from Joe Foss, because an 86 year old American Hero might use it asa weapon.
Rand Paul, Joe Foss, and All of us.
My mother, who was then in her mid 70s, had one of these useless scum - they were traveling in a Pack of at least a dozen - split off and cross a good 7 feet of open aisle to shoulder her aside, just to prove she (TSA Agent) Could: as if to say, "and what are you going to Do about it?"
Close the borders and send the Illegals home so we won't have any Excuse to keep the TSA on the books!
Their is an Aviation Writer who has spoken out about them vociferously. Everytime he flies now, they bust his chops just short of a cavity search...
De-Unionizing and Privatizing via a contract must be in Newt's Platform IMHO..
At Ron Paul's facebook page.
Sounds like a stall tactic to me. Sounds like someone got a little more than power happy and they bit off more than they can chew.
If the TSA is saying that now, then they are trying to retreat.
3,000 comments and 4,500 likes in under 1 hour. All in response to 1 twit.
That's probably playing with the exact definition of "detained". Rand Paul might be legally allowed to leave the airport and abandon hopes of ever flying commercial flights again so he isn't officially "detained".
I wonder if Rand tried to pull "I'm a Senator", or if he didn't mention that ahead of time and then let the TSA twist itself into a knot over how can they let him fly without appearing to give him any favoritism. I think the supervisor would love to give him one pat, let him go and hope the whole thing disappears. I believe the Paul family doesn't let go of things like that so easily, especially now that this has hit the public.
The TSA should stick to doing what they do best, creating long lines because they believe they are powerful and stealing money and articles out of your luggage once it leaves your position.
Damaged multiplied because there are so many willing ears.
There's no need for name calling.
TSA the initials of our national prison buddy keepin us safe!

Easy to understand Ubuntu manual with lots of pics: http://ubuntu-manual.org/
Do i need antivirus/firewall in linux?
User friendly disk backup: Redobackup
Software patents only protects ideas and one program uses hundreds different ideas. Making software today is a gamble for small businesses. You have no way of knowing if your program does something that is patented because there's many hundred thousands patents out there and there's no other way to check for infrigement than to read every single one of them.
If anyone sues it will be expensive whether you win or not. It doesn't help you if you have one patent yourself for a part of your program unless the one who sues happens to use that idea in his program (then you can cross licence). Paying licenses might be a solution but if two or three patent holders wants say 3% each of your income for the program that will probably be enough to make it impossible to make a profit at all. Software patents is only good for trolls who doesn't make products themselves and perhaps slightly for big companies (the biggest use they have of the patents is cross-licening, which wouldn't be needed if there was no software patents).
In other fields one patent might equal one product. That's when patents makes sense.
The DockbarX developer, at your service.
Open-source relies on some concepts of Intellectual Property for instance GPLs copyleft is dependent on copyright; i.e if you write code, it is your code and you have permission to say how it is used. It may not be copied without your consent - same as if you right a book. Copyright is reasonable, its purpose to protect the interests of the creators of content thus encouraging creativity which will be for the benefit of all.
The purpose of patents is similar - it is to reasonably protect the interests of inventors so that they have a temporary monopoly on their invention and can have the chance to recoup their investment, thus encouraging innovation and again working in the interests of the greater good. Patents have, however, always been problematic and striking the balance difficult. Nevertheless it is obvious patents were allowed to protect and encourage innovation.
Software patents have been even more problematic, the patenting of vague ideas, maths let alone some of the non-sense that Apple pretends is innovation is ridicules and it purpose is to stifle innovation. The length of patents reasonable in the pharmaceutical industry are inappropriate in software imagine if no one had been allowed to use the GUI for 20 years. Patents are also inappropriate in this field which is inherently cumulative with development based on the foundation of previous ideas.
The question that needs to be asked is do software patents encourage innovation and development? If not they should go. The purpose of patents is not to allow large and powerful corporations to create monopolies and cartels where they can protect themselves from competition by stifling innovation. The reverse is true, the abuse of the patent system is a disgrace.

USA has a backward patent system. But what can you expect, USA is the home of lawyers and suing.
It is possible to buy patents and then claim what is covered by the patents is your Intellectual Property. But is it their ideas, their work, their innovation? And yet those who buy these patents claim a right to be rewarded for their innovation.
Judges ought to know that case law is built upon previous judgements regarding the application of laws. So Judges, of all people, should know that one person's ideas are most likely based upon some one else's ideas. The same applies to the practical application of ideas.
It is a machine. It is more stupid than we are. It will not stop us from doing stupid things.

I'm sure many judges are aware of the problems in patent law. Unfortunately, they don't have the power to overturn laws (unless they turn out to be contradicted by more important stuff, like the Constitution in the US' case, and even then you'd have to appeal a decision all the way up to the supreme court).
