all the reasons this is faker than Rinne tobi from gens scan:
1. we already have all costumes , and already had confirmation that there'd be NO guest characters , so menma was the point where the person didn't quit while they were ahead.
2. we already had confirmation that jutsu clashing would not be in.
3. EDO madara doesn't get his fan until he meets maskless obito , so theres no way he'd have it.
4. the character model looks as though they did madara's face wrong , his hairline just doesn't look right .
5. they definitely would've saved madara till the last week of february . now if this were a cloud ninja scan , a kage guard or edo kage scan , id be more inclined to believe it , but this screams fake .
just a product of an ass of a fan who has too much free time

I don't know about this you see Menma but how come we don't see a fighting image of him like we did with the other Road to Ninja characters in the previous scan? and why is Menma in this scan and not the previous one which would have made more sense

If that is fake then its the ultimate photoshop.

all the reasons this is faker than Rinne tobi from gens scan:
1. When was it confirmed that all the alt costumes are revealed?
2. Yes we did early on but cc2 stated "If the want is enough we will put it in" and a lot of people have been filling out those request forms so I wouldnt be suprised if they listened, but honestly, it looks like it could just be in single player or story mode, which is fine with me.
3. Well the end point of the game is not confirmed.
4. Its a blurry image.
5. I agree with you on this one, I was expecting Madara to be the 2nd to last reveal, with the last reveal being Itachi & Sasuke vs Kabuto.
All in all who cares if this scan is real or not because Madara will definatly be in.
I'm more worried about
Edo Kages are a Given. Just skeptical if Yondaime Kazekage will be playable or not.

Chapter Seventeen: Wyrinther and Elêganor (6)Mature
Panic washed over Seoc in waves. His mind was racing too fast to form a comprehensible thought. There was, however, a consistent theme to the mental fragments spinning about his head: that of complete and utter terror.
Through the chaos of his thoughts, a strange awareness settled within him, an awareness of a new, vaguely familiar sensation. His mind began to calm, distracted for the moment by the task of identifying the feeling, which was characterized by a delicate, tingling warmth on his skin. But what could be causing it?
The cart came to a halt, and he heard voices.
"Who goes there?"
"I be Marka, sir. I taking de deads a de crey-mat-orium."
Burned alive.
A renewed jolt of alarm ran up Seoc's spine, and suddenly he could move again. His eyes flew open and he tried to sit up, but he was too weak even to raise himself up an inch. He fell back again, squeezing his eyes shut against the harsh white light that had flooded in. Misshapen, colored spots drifted across the insides of his eyelids.
"Hold! That one's not dead!"
A chill of relief came over Seoc like a pleasant breeze. The mistake had been recognized. He wouldn't be taken to the crematorium. He wouldn't be burned alive.
"But sir," the slave protested. "He be dead! Sometime, de deads twitch like dat—!"
The guard paid no mind to the protestations. "This one's alive! Close the gates!"
Abruptly, the voice of the Aechyed slave dropped by half an octave, reverting to a distinct South Brysail accent in the process.
"Mother of bloody fucking Rezyn!"
This surprised Seoc so entirely that he opened his eyes again, just in time to see one of the Aechyed's knee-high, black leather boots connect with the gate-guard's metal breastplate. Unless Seoc was very much mistaken, this particular merrow wasn't female, and wasn't a slave, either. How odd. Then again, this whole scene was probably just an extravagant fever dream anyway. It had that sleeplike quality wherein nothing quite adds up.
By turning his head slightly, Seoc could see that the gate was ajar. It seemed warped and strangely out of perspective, as if it were underwater.
There was a sudden jolt, and then Seoc found himself rising, lifted out of the corpse-cart by a pair of large, strong hands. Then he experienced a moment of perceived freefall as his disguised rescuer threw him over his shoulder, and the world went dark.

The Myth of the Climate Change '97%'
Joseph Bast and Roy Spencer recently addressed "the origin of the false belief—constantly repeated—that almost all scientists agree about global warming." It's an article I've been waiting for someone to write. My personal thanks to Mr. Bast and Mr. Spencer. Their article (with the above title) is posted at the Wall Street Journal, though it's only available to subscribers. Fortunately, the National Center for Policy Analysis has prepared a nice summary of it. Here is an excerpt from the NCPA post:
Global warming advocates routinely toss out the statistic that 97 percent of scientists agree that climate change is real and man-made. Where did that figure come from? Joseph Bast, president of the Heartland Institute, and Roy Spencer, principal research scientist for the University of Alabama in Huntsville, explain the history behind the misleading number.
In short, there is no basis for the claim that 97 percent of scientists believe that man-made climate change is a dangerous problem.
In 2004, Naomi Oreskes, a Harvard science historian, examined 928 abstracts of scientific journal articles, finding that three-quarters of them believed that humans were responsible for most of the observed warming of the last half-century.
- However, Oreskes did not analyze articles by prominent scientists — such as Richard Lindzen and John Christy — who question the "consensus" view.
- Additionally, a recent study in Nature magazine confirms that academic abstracts often contain claims that are not proven in the studies themselves.

Cuts in criminal legal aid fees of 17.5% on average for solicitors and 6% for barristers have been confirmed by the justice secretary, Chris Grayling.
Despite attempts by the Ministry of Justice to mitigate the impact of the £220m savings, lawyers plan go ahead with a second round of protests next Friday with a mass walkout that is likely to disrupt crown and magistrate courts across England and Wales.
Some cuts will come into effect next month, with solicitors' reductions staggered over a year. The number of duty solicitor contracts will be cut from around 1,600 to just 525. Lawyers fear many firms of solicitors will be forced to close.
The MoJ made a few concessions, including not introducing identical fees for guilty cases and full trials at magistrates courts which lawyers feared would become a perverse incentive leading to pressure on defendants to enter incorrect pleas.
Lord Justice Leveson is to conduct a review aimed at streamlining court processes, in particular trying to reduce the number of pretrial hearings that require advocates to attend court and increasing the number of remote video hearings.
Grayling said: "This government is dealing with an unprecedented financial challenge and I have no choice but to look for the savings … I cannot exempt legal aid from this but that doesn't mean I don't understand how challenging these reductions will be."
He added that the government would not "seek further savings from criminal legal aid".
Other MoJ promises included: more power sockets and free Wi-Fi so that lawyers could work on computers while waiting for cases to come to court; prompter payments of legal aid fees to improve law firms' cash flow; and access to bank loans for companies that bid for duty solicitor contracts. The plans were based on advice from external consultants, Otterburn Legal Consulting and KPMG.
Nicola Hill, president of the London Criminal Courts Solicitors Association, said: "This is a shameful day in legal and criminal justice history. Cutting legal aid fees so that experienced legal aid lawyers are driven out of business, leaves clients at the mercy of low-paid, unqualified lawyers – unless of course they are rich enough to afford a private lawyer.
"These newly confirmed cuts are a short-cut to a two-tier system, where justice becomes a luxury not a right. This can't be right for any defendant, whose liberty, family and livelihood are often at stake. It's no exaggeration to say that not only will these cuts cost lawyers their jobs, more importantly they will see trials collapsing, the innocent going to jail, the guilty walking free."
Nicholas Lavender QC, chairman of the Bar Council which represents barristers, said: "We are bitterly disappointed that, despite a sustained campaign emphasising that these proposals are contrary to the public interest, the government is pressing ahead with significant cuts to legal aid for advocacy in the crown court.
"These cuts are financially unnecessary, will cause significant damage to the justice system and to our international reputation for upholding the rule of law and will drive skilled and experienced advocates away from publicly-funded criminal work."
Desmond Hudson, chief executive of the Law Society which represents solicitors in England and Wales, said: "The government's changes will have a profound impact on our criminal legal aid members who face uncertainty and very difficult challenges in changing their businesses to meet the government's new requirements."
The president of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives, Stephen Gowland, said: "I am disappointed the government has chosen to proceed with this level of cuts to support for people going through the criminal justice system, before taking the more cogent step of tackling inefficiencies. These measures will have an impact on Britain's international reputation as a place where justice is proudly and fairly delivered."
The shadow justice secretary, Sadiq Khan, said: "Legal aid is a lifeline to many of the most vulnerable in our society. Just like the NHS and social security, a civilised society needs a system of legal aid to ensure access to justice for everyone.
"Of course, savings must be found in the justice system but the way Chris Grayling is savaging our legal system could mean it is unsustainable and dysfunctional in the future. Labour and experts in the profession and justice system have come forward with alternatives to the government's crackpot legal aid plans. There are inefficiencies and wasted resources that should instead be the government's focus. If these were targeted real savings could be made that make more efficient our legal system.
"Many local small firms will close down, just as law centres and CAB's have and any hope we have of making the judiciary or legal profession more diverse will be gone. Even the report by KPMG commissioned by the Ministry of Justice casts serious doubt on whether their proposals will work in practice, most worryingly questioning the future provision of legal aid across London".

text: NEW YORK, April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- NBC, Donald J. Trump and Paula M. Shugart, president of the Miss Universe Organization, announced today that the 2013 MISS USA ® Competition will air LIVE from Las Vegas on NBC Sunday, June 16 ( 9 p.m. ET) from PH Live in Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. "The MISS USA Competition is one of the most anticipated live events of the year," said Mr. Trump. "Teaming with Las Vegas and Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino has been a successful formula that enables us to produce one of the best shows year after year." "Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino is proud to partner with the Miss Universe Organization in hosting this spectacular event for the sixth year in a row," said David Hoenemeyer, regional president of Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. "The MISS USA Competition is one of the most exciting events of the year, so it's only fitting that one of the most exhilarating resorts on the Strip serve as host." The 2013 MISS USA ® Competition will feature contestants from all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Contestants will be judged in three categories: swimsuit, evening gown and interview. The show concludes with one contestant ultimately being crowned Miss USA 2013. "We are pleased to welcome the 62nd Annual MISS USA Competition back to Las Vegas," said Cathy Tull, senior vice president of marketing for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. "The history and pride of the MISS USA Competition combined with the strength and excitement of the Las Vegas brand create a winning combination." Last year's telecast concluded with Olivia Culpo, Miss Rhode Island USA, being crowned Miss USA 2012. After Culpo won the title of Miss Universe last December, first runner-up Nana Meriwether, Miss Maryland USA, assumed the role of Miss USA 2012.

Although the two package tour groups no longer want to merge, lawyers were poring over the judgment to see if it would clear the decks for billions of pounds worth of other mergers blocked by Monti's department.
After halting the Airtours deal on his first day in office three years ago, Monti went on to stop the attempted mega-mergers of Sprint and Worldcom, GE and Honeywell, electronics groups Schneider and Legrand and packaging companies Tetra Laval and Sidel. He also put the kibosh on EMI's proposed merger with Time Warner.
The Court of First Instance in Luxembourg found that on three significant counts the Commission had ridden roughshod over requirements to prove that a combined Airtours-First Choice would damage competition. However, in what could be a crucial compromise, the judges did not completely ban Monti's use of the 'collective dominance' theory. This says competition can be damaged not just by the creation of one overwhelming monopolist, but by a reduction in the number of rivals - an oligopoly.
A First Choice-Airtours merger would have cut the number of UK short-haul package tour operators from four to three. The Court declared Monti's department had failed to prove that:
the deal would mean the remaining companies would more easily be able to observe and copy each other's products and prices.
if one of them had refused to play ball on price or product fixing, the other two had ways to retaliate.
smaller competitors could not act as a brake to anti-competitive practices by the Big Three by offering better deals.
Simon Holmes, partner of law firm SJ Berwin's EU and competition department, said: 'This means the Commission must be much more careful in future.'
Tim Byrne, chief executive of MyTravel, the new name for Airtours, welcomed the decision for bringing clarity to a complex legal situation. Airtours is thought to have spent about £2m on the appeal, which it brought on an issue of principle.

Consigli Construction Co., Inc. Completes Renovation of Margaret Chase Smith Federal Building
The conversion of the 1960's era facility into a High Performance Green Building (HPGB) for the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) included a new plaza and central entry pavilion with new security features built into the architecture.
When construction began in 2010, the nearly vacant building was operating with much of its original, outdated building systems. No significant changes had been made to the structure since the building's construction more than forty years ago.
"As a result of these substantial renovations, the federal court in Bangor is now able to serve the public more efficiently and effectively"
Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), the building modernization project recaptured approximately 42,000 rentable square feet, allowing expansion room for current, new and future tenants.
The sustainable design and construction updates are predicted to reduce energy use in the building by approximately 68%. Some of the new features that make this a High Performance Green Building include a geothermal heating and cooling plant, photovoltaic solar array, micro turbine, controllable energy-efficient lighting, a rainwater collection and irrigation system and replacement of all windows.
Over the course of three years, the renovation involved more than 500 local trades and construction personnel including project managers, engineers, superintendents, architects, administrative and accounting personnel and other building and design specialists. In addition, more than 60 local subcontractors and suppliers were contracted over the duration of the work.
The core project team included:
· exp.U.S. Services, Inc. (formerly Teng and Associates), Chicago, IL - Design Architect
· Consigli Construction Co., Inc., Portland, ME - Construction Contractor (CMc)
· Coast & Harbor Associates, Lynnfield, MA - Construction Management (CMa)
· Jacobs Project Mgt Co., Boston, MA - Commissioning

"In the times of old there was once a man that spent his entire life painting. His family and everyone loved him very much. One day at the age of 21 he locked himself away in his study and only came out to eat. He spoke no words. Days passed, weeks passed, still no words or actual time out of his study. Soon he gave up coming out of his study at all. His family placed his food at the door and came the next meal to see his plate empty. Months passed, years passed, decades passed, and on the mans 97 birthday he said his first words. "It is finished." He proclaimed as he sat down at the dinner table along with his now ancient family and there children and there children's children. The next week he died. The last words that he said were. "Watch that painting, it has a heart of its own." He said."

FLAGSTAFF, Arizona (AP) A judge has denied a defense motion to appoint a therapist for a 9-year-old boy accused of killing his father and another man, saying defense attorneys did not adequately address his concerns.
The boy's lawyer, Benjamin Brewer, has said the boy was having trouble sleeping in juvenile detention and would like someone to talk to for emotional support, stress management, relaxation and healing.
"We're a little frustrated," Brewer said of the ruling Thursday. "We think it's important the kid has someone to talk to."
The boy, who turned 9 on Monday, faces two counts of premeditated murder in the Nov. 5 shooting deaths of his father, 29-year-old Vincent Romero, and 39-year-old Timothy Romans, who rented a room in the family's home in the small eastern Arizona town of St. Johns. They were shot with a .22-caliber rifle when they returned home from work.
Apache County Superior Court Judge Michael Roca cited concerns with the initial defense request for a therapist and ordered it amended. Among other things, that request would have kept the therapist from having to testify about her exchanges with the boy.
Brewer complied, but Roca said in a ruling posted on the court website late Wednesday that his concerns were only superficially addressed. Roca said the motion fails to describe the frequency and duration of sessions, proposes to regulate the conduct and activities of the detention facility, and still implies exemptions for the therapist.
The judge also questioned the $100 per hour the defense sought to pay the therapist.
Brewer said the judge was "making us jump through some hoops that aren't necessary" but said he would continue to amend the request until it is approved.
The next hearing in the case is scheduled for Tuesday in St. Johns.
The boy's mother, stepmother, aunt and grandmother have visitation rights, but Brewer said the boy cannot talk openly with them because they could be called as witnesses.

Buying psp games from other regions
How does one go about that?
Especially if these games only are available as a download from playstation store?
I've seen some games I really want, but can't buy them from where I'm living.
And it's really frustrating.
So if one of you has an answer that works, I would really appreciate it.
Re: Buying psp games from other regions
Would have helped if you said where you were from.
I've imported from Europe using, http://www.365games.co.uk/ (White Knight Chronicles: Origins) and it arrived in good condition, took awhile to get here (Canada) but it's understandable.
I've imported from Japan using, http://www.play-asia.com/ (Rockman DASH 1 & 2 ). I've imported more for PS3 than anything from here.
As for digital purchases, I've not done any that way. However, if you have a PS3 it's pretty easy. Just sign up for an account in the region you want to buy from. (can find plenty of videos on youtube on how to do this) Then you'll have to buy a PSN card from that region, there are sites that sell them but I'm not sure the best ones to use for this. Since I've not done it. Sign in to your region account, redeem code, purchase item. Download on PS3, move to PSP.
I believe it'll work anyway.

Some immigration consultants violating rules of private refugee sponsorship program
Some immigration consultants violating rules of private refugee sponsorship program
Syrians in Gulf states being asked to pay settlement funds that are supposed to be paid by private sponsors
By Laura Lynch, Ghalia Bdiwe, CBC News Posted: Apr 19, 2016 5:00 AM ET Last Updated: Apr 21, 2016 6:00 PM ET
The immigration consultants have been targeting Syrians living in the Gulf states, many of whom are there on work permits and are able to earn a living. In that sense, they are potentially a more lucrative client base than those in refugee camps in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.
The consultants advertise on social media and make visits to the region, setting up shop in five-star hotels.
In the case of one such agency, information available online and documents obtained by CBC News reveal that the consultant is not only charging prospective refugees thousands of dollars to process their applications but also asking them to pay the full cost of their resettlement up front, which violates the financial guidelines of the Private Sponsorship of Refugees Program.
"I find it appalling, honestly," said Toronto lawyer Jackie Swaisland, who is part of a network of lawyers, immigration consultants and law students that has helped hundreds of refugees get to Canada without charging for their services.
Canada has resettled more than 26,000 Syrian refugees since last November, about 9,000 of whom are privately sponsored and another 2,225 of whom receive a combination of government and private funding.
Facebook ad caught the eye of refugee
Ahmed is a Syrian refugee trying to come to Canada from Dubai. The 35-year-old man, who asked that his name be changed to protect relatives who still live in Syria, has no permanent status in the United Arab Emirates and cannot return to Syria.
"Politically, I am opposite the regime in Syria. I cannot be there," he said in an interview with CBC News.
Like many other Syrians who fled the civil war, Ahmed learned about Canada's plan to welcome 25,000 Syrian refugees last year. He saw an ad on Facebook for a Canadian immigration consultant named Abeer Qita, who runs a Mississauga, Ont.-based company named Fast to Canada (FTC) with her husband.
He met with Qita in a hotel in Dubai to discuss how she could help him get to Canada.
"She said, 'It's OK, I will try to help you,'" Ahmed said.
He says she urged him to act fast to take advantage of Canada's private sponsorship program, but the more he communicated with Qita, the more wary he became.
She sent Ahmed a retainer agreement that laid out her $5,000 fee plus a series of other charges. He shared the agreement with the CBC.
Notably, the document requires that refugee applicants pay the full cost of their resettlement prior to arriving in Canada — once their application is assigned a file number by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The amount requested ranges from $12,000 for one person to $32,000 for a family of six (corresponding to government estimates of the minimum financial support required from sponsors).
The Fast to Canada agreement specifies that the settlement funds are to be held in trust by the Canada Newcomers & Immigration Association (CNIA) and disbursed in 12 monthly instalments once the refugees are in Canada. CNIA is a non-profit group that provides services to refugees in the Greater Toronto Area and works with designated sponsorship agreement holders to co-sponsor refugees.
Sponsors, not refugees must pay settlement funds
Under the private sponsorship program, individuals or groups who want to sponsor a refugee must raise enough money to support them for a year. If refugees become financially self-sufficient before the year is up, sponsors no longer have to support them but do have to keep adequate funds on hand for the full year.
But, according to the IRCC, "privately sponsored refugees cannot be made to prepay or repay their own settlement costs" — nor can they be donors to any trust fund set up by sponsors to cover those costs.
Once in Canada, they are "expected to contribute to their own settlement costs from funds they bring to Canada or earn during their sponsorship period."
Yosief Araya, manager of the refugee sponsorship training program at Catholic Crosscultural Services in Toronto, says the reason refugees can't be made to pay the money in advance is to protect them from being exploited.
'We sincerely and diligently work for refugees.'– Bashorat Mohammed, Canada Newcomers & Immigration Association
The Fast to Canada agreement also says applicants must pay $750 to CNIA (a $500 "donation," which will be refunded if the applicant is rejected; $200 in administrative costs; and a $50 "membership fee").
According to their agreement with IRCC, sponsoring groups cannot charge more than $100 in administrative costs per application.
When contacted by CBC, CNIA said it encourages those who are able to make a donation to do so but does not require it or specify an amount.
"We provide our services only through volunteers," CNIA manager Bashorat Mohammed said in an emailed response. "We sincerely and diligently work for refugees."
The association said that Fast to Canada's agreement with its own clients does not concern CNIA.
It said the money CNIA collects comes from fundraising and contributions from refugees' relatives and friends and individuals and businesses in the community.
"None of Fast to Canada's clients have deposited their settlement funds into our account," CNIA said in an email to CBC News. "Fast to Canada will have to once we reach an agreement."
'We work for profit'
Normally, refugees applying to come to Canada are required only to pay for medical checks and the cost of their travel, and in some cases, these costs are waived or covered by a loan from the federal government.
But in an interview with CBC News at her office in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga, Qita said she is not doing anything wrong by charging refugees and that other consultants are asking thousands of dollars more than she is.
"You cannot offer the service free," she said
'We work for profit. We are not working [for] free.'– Osama Ebid, CEO of Fast to Canada
Qita said she's currently handling more than 550 refugee applications, mainly for Syrians living in the Gulf states, but it is not clear how many of those have paid the settlement funds and fees she requested. At her current rates, the processing fees could total $2.75 million.
Qita said her services include not just processing the application but also monitoring the sponsorship throughout the first year to make sure her client's sponsors are providing adequate support and that refugees are not resorting to government assistance.
"It is normal for an immigration consultant to charge fees for their time," she said. "The support, the quality of work, the service you're providing those people … this is what makes you special."
Qita's husband, Osama Ebid, stressed that Fast To Canada is a "private company."
"We work for profit. We are not working [for] free," he said.
On the subject of settlement funds, Ebid, who is the company's CEO, said it is CNIA asking for that money and that he did not know whether it was against the rules to do so.
"Those people (privately sponsored refugees from Gulf states), they have — or their friends have — enough money to give it to the association to be able … to cover their living costs," he said.
Ebid later asked, rhetorically, whether Canadians would rather accept poor refugees who have to rely on government support or those who can pay their own way.
Not an isolated case
CBC News knows of several other immigration consultants charging fees that range from $3,000 to $6,400 per person, plus thousands of dollars more in "donations" and settlement costs.
While immigration consultants are allowed to charge whatever they want for their services, Swaisland says charging refugees who are fleeing the Syrian civil war thousands of dollars is wrong.
"There are still people who are incredibly vulnerable. There are still people who don't know what tomorrow holds for them, or they are in dire circumstances," she said."So, to sort of charge those individuals, even if they can technically afford to pay for it, a large fee for your services, I think that becomes unethical."
'Sometimes, desperate people take risks even if they know that something wrong was going on.'– Abdullah
Immigration consultants in Canada are accredited by a regulatory council that oversees approximately 3,600 members. The council's communications director, Daniel Roukema, said he cannot comment on a specific consultant's practices unless a formal complaint has been lodged and investigated.
The council's guidelines say fees "must be fair and reasonable."
"Reasonable fees is something that we expect them to determine themselves," Roukema said.
Any dispute over fees must be resolved in the courts, he said.
Abdullah (not his real name), a Syrian refugee living in Abu Dhabi who has met with three different consultants, considers the consultants' fees high but says that he and other Syrians are desperate enough to pay them.
- Refugee agencies making headway in housing Syrians
- RCMP refugee screening a $16M flop, report says
- 5 things to know about Canada's refugee program
- 25,000th Syrian refugee lands in Canada
"Sometimes, desperate people take risks even if they know that something wrong was going on," he said "We search for hope."
The Association of Sponsorship Agreement Holders said it is concerned about reports of dubious practices. The association, composed mainly of church and community organizations that work with local groups like CNIA to privately sponsor refugees, says it has reminded its members that violating the rules of the sponsorship program would void the agreements they have with IRCC.
Since CBC began asking questions, Qita has posted a notice on her company's Facebook page offering to refund the money of anyone whose application is being processed but no longer wants to use Qita's services.
Ahmed said he may put in a request to get back the $500 he paid to Qita before he decided to stop working with her. He is still searching for a way to come to Canada.
A previous version of this story mistakenly stated that Ahmed paid $1,000 to Fast to Canada. In fact, the company only ever redeemed $500 from Ahmed, because the first of two contracts he signed with Fast to Canada was cancelled.Apr 21, 2016 5:59 PM ET

For my first post, I decided to make available a very simple demo I wrote recently to demonstrate how data can be encrypted in SQL Server 2005. You can paste the following script in SSMS and execute it line by line while following the comments. The script was written and tested on build 1256.73.
— Goals of this demo:
— Show how a column can be encrypted and decrypted and how an authenticator value can be used
create database demo;
use demo;
— create a simple employee table
create table t_employees (id int primary key, name varchar(300), salary varbinary(300));
— create a key to protect the employee sensitive data, in this case – the salary
create symmetric key sk_employees with algorithm = aes_192 encryption by password = 'Pufd&s@))%';
— open the key so that we can use it
open symmetric key sk_employees decryption by password = 'Pufd&s@))%';
— verify key was opened
select * from sys.openkeys;
— insert some data
— we will use the id as an authenticator value to tie the salary to the employee id
insert into t_employees values (101, 'Alice Smith', encryptbykey(key_guid('sk_employees'), '$200000', 1, '101'));
insert into t_employees values (102, 'Bob Jones', encryptbykey(key_guid('sk_employees'), '$100000', 1, '102'));
— see the result; salary is encrypted
select * from t_employees;
— create a view to automatically do the decryption
— note that when decrypting we specify that the id should be used as authenticator
create view v_employees as select id, name, convert(varchar(10), decryptbykey(salary, 1, convert(varchar(30), id))) as salary from t_employees;
— see the result, the decrypted data is available
select * from v_employees;
— demo the authenticator role
— copy salary of Alice and overwrite the value for Bob
— execute next 3 lines as batch
declare @salary varbinary(300);
select @salary = salary from t_employees where id = 101;
update t_employees set salary = @salary where id = 102;
— note that both entries have the same salary blob
select * from t_employees;
— see the result, the decrypted data for Bob is no longer available
— because it doesn't match the authenticator, which is his employee id
select * from v_employees;
— now close the key
close symmetric key sk_employees;
— verify key was closed
select * from sys.openkeys;
— see the result, we can no longer decrypt any data because the key is closed
— to access the data again we would need to reopen the key
select * from v_employees;
— cleanup
drop view v_employees;
delete from t_employees;
drop table t_employees;
drop symmetric key sk_employees;
use master;
drop database demo;

Please tell me we aren't still fighting the security myths of XP and 2000? Back when XP was relatively new there was a story about a security issue that you could get into XP if you used recovery media to boot. You can use a linux boot disk as well. You can get into any operating system if you have physical access and that's why physical access to a system is very important. But to consider this a security issue? Folks… when we're dealing with "non security issues" that we dealt with how many years ago? Haven't we learned by now?

From Air to Water
Another day has come and with it, more training. Training keeps me occupied. It makes me feel good. I want to feel good. I want to be able to smile at Gloria's wedding. If I cry; I want to cry for her happiness, not for my sorrow. So I train. Today we're continuing with Air. I am convinced I have an affinity for it. It's almost as easy as Water.
I finish my Air and sword dance. Dad critiques and Gloria and I listen. She comes to watch me for a little bit everyday, no matter how busy she is.
Suddenly a crash in the trees near us breaks our conversation. We all turn to face the noise. There's a figure there. He's in the shadows, but my heart leaps. For a brief second my eyes lock with Ash's eyes as my sword clatters to the ground. Then he's gone. I step forward. "Ash?" Was I dreaming? I take another step. "Ash?" Why didn't he stay to say hello? I start to take another step but Dad's hand restrains me.
"Morgan," his voice is soft, pulling me back.
"Didn't you see him?" I turned to face him and Gloria. I know I have tears running down my cheeks. They exchange looks. "Didn't you see him? It was Ash, I know it was."
"Morgan," Dad's voice is stern.
Gloria hugs me. "I know how you feel Morgan. I remember right after Thalion died,' she paused and shook her head slightly. I can understand. She thought he was dead, but he's alive. That has to be odd. "I remember glimpsing sights of him, because I wanted to see him again." I nod.
Be strong Morgan
"It was probably just someone from the town or castle," Dad states.
I hope Dad's right. And yet I don't. It's my heart that tells me he's wrong. My head; however, is quite ready to agree. Ash has left to keep us safe. He wouldn't be back to endanger us. I take one last deep breath and squeeze Gloria before pulling back.
"You good?" she asks, proffering a crumpled tissue from her pocket. I nod as I wipe my eyes and nose. I ought to carry a box of them with me.
Dad picks up my sword, wipes it down and replaces it in the sheath. I can tell he feels awkward about my crying. I can't blame him. My tears sometimes make me feel awkward. I sniff one last time and blow my nose. He brings a basin out of his bag and sets it in our training area.
"Why don't we go back to Water?" Dad smiles at me. He knows it's my best element. Water is calming for me, unlike Air, which excites me, or Fire which inflames me, or Earth, which frustrates me. I hesitatingly return his smile as I sit across the basin from him. "It's pretty humid out tonight. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't rain soon. So how about you fill the basin with water from the air?"
I nod. Closing my eyes I let myself flow into nature. There's an odd sense like the Island's hiding something from me. So it was Ash, my heart leaps only to fall again. He could have at least said hello.
Focus Morgan
I'm trying. I feel Mom sigh. Like Dad and Gloria, she's trying to help me, only sometimes I think Grandma B had the right idea; send me off to fend for myself. I feel a drop of water on my nose, bringing my mind back to the task at hand. It's misting, which makes my assignment much easier.
Opening my eyes I gather the little droplets into my hands. They merrily run between my fingers, singing a little tune as they splash into the basin. I smile. It's good to smile, but I know that I'll cry myself to sleep tonight. Why didn't Ash say hello?

Temple hangover
No we didn't go out drinking last night however we were in need of a day off from the temples as our feet were sore and we wanted to see a bit more of the inner city. We went straight out to the main backpackers hangout and found a massage parlour. At 150 baht(£3) the half hour foot massage was relaxing and well worth our hard earned cash. After a general stroll ...
The Observation
... before and because P. Toi usually teaches with Becky on a Thursday. But for some reason he didn't want to swap, and so we carried on working with unfamiliar people. Still, he seemed nice enough to me. The second surprise of the day came when Scott, our boss came waltzing through the door just as I'd begun my class. I sort of knew this was coming. I thought that I might be observed by a trainer first, but I knew it wouldn't be long before Scott would ...

That was obviously what they thought, as they gave it a very cursory search, noted the empty bottle, and asked if we had any liquids. When we got down to the actual gate I found another water fountain, and repeated the process. This time the water made it aboard.
They seemed to take an age to get our meal to us - probably only because we were waiting, as Ron ...

Future, Past and PresentMature
"What? Where am I?" Castien shot upright, disoriented and confused. The last thing he remembered was the image of the dog standing with him in the Shade Quarter - how did that lead him here?
Ah, yes. Another memory, from just seconds later, came forward - the dog had pushed him into some sort of energy pillar, clearly a portal of some kind. The room Castien found himself in was strange, lifeless. The walls were all white, the floor was cold, hard stone, and there was not a decoration, piece of furniture, or object of interest to be seen, just the door on the other side of the room. When Castien investigated the door, he heard odd noises on the other side. He reached for the doorknob.
Suddenly, Castien was standing in a field, and he had a sword in his hand. The pressure on his head and weight on his shoulders led him to realize he must be clad in armor of some kind. The sword was intricately built, with a fine double-edged blade, diamonds in the pommel, a crossguard in the shape of a deer's antlers, and a single, thin, deep scratch down the middle of the blade. In the distance, a castle was burning. Towers crumbled, bridges collapsed, and flames devoured the rubble which was everywhere in sight.
Wait... Looking closer, Castien realized the horrible truth. The school! No!
Castien began sprinting towards the college, which was rapidly disappearing among the flames, now clearly of magical origin. They did not die down; they did not burn out when there was nothing left to burn. They simply spread and devoured everything in sight, continuing to burn long after sections of castle had disappeared among the evil blaze.
Why? Why is this happening? And...who did this?
You... the voice that responded to Castien's thoughts was clearly not his own. It was much deeper, and radiated evil. It gave Castien chills. You caused this. Your actions...will undoubtedly lead to destruction. This is your future. .
Why? Why must this happen? Why me?
Because you are the one who hungers.
What do you mean? Hungers for what? I don't understand...
You desire power. Power the likes of which not even you, nor any other mortal, could ever understand. This hunger - this lust for control - will destroy everything you have ever known, and ultimately it will destroy you, as well.
Must it be so?
That is for you to determine...
Who are you? Why are you toying with me so? I demand that you -
Demand. The voice - the Other - laughed, a sinister, chilling, dead sound that was the first thing in a very long time to truly frighten Castien. You are in no position to make demands.
Then - then just answer me, will you? I wish to know who I am dealing with.
You...you wish to know who I am...I will show you who I am.
Suddenly, Castien was looking down on a luxurious castle. It was none other than that of King Deryos of Deepwynne. The sun was shining down on the palace, reflecting off of windows and towers. In a second, Castien was in a large bed chamber, with scarlet and gold decorations everywhere. This must be the King's bed chamber, Castien realized.
Just as Castien thought this, in walked the King himself, his great grey beard taking up much of his face. He seemed to take no notice of Castien, going straight to his dresser, taking something from a drawer, and then leaving again. In an incredibly rapid passing of time, it grew dark outside, and in time, the King once again entered, this time laying down in his bed. Soon, a dark figure crept in, holding a dagger. It was a magnificent blade. Its hilt appeared to be gold, the blade of fine steel and in perfect condition. The figure crept to the King's side and laid his dagger across his throat. Castien immediately tried to leap forward, to save the King, but he found himself utterly helpless.
Next, Castien was standing in a crowd, watching a man on a large wooden podium. At length, he drew a rope down toward the ground and a long wooden beam with a blade along the bottom rose into the air. A second man, bound and in chains, wearing rags, was hauled onto the stage and forced to lie down. A second later, the guillotine dropped and the crowd cheered delightedly.
In another millisecond, Castien was back in the field overlooking the college. So that's who you are, then. You're...
Yes. I am the man who once was called Tayos of Cuttmarsh. And I am involved in things far, far greater than your king - far greater than most could ever hope to comprehend.
But what connection do you have to my studies?
All will be revealed in time. But be warned: If you continue down your current path, you will not like what you find at the end. Now, return to your mortal dwelling.
The flames engulfing the school began to surge across the field, eventually surrounding Castien, and then he was back in the white room. Again, he went to the door and cautiously pressed his ear to it. He very slowly reached for the handle, and then he heard a voice call out.
Then another, and one more joined in.
"Professor Elenviel?"
Castien knew the voice sounded familiar, but could not quite place them. He reached for the doorknob once more, and as his hand closed around the knob, threw the door open. He was blinded by a bright, white light, and then he saw nothing.
After a passing of some time, he awoke. He was lying on the ground in the Shade Quarter, his arms pressed against the cold stone all around him. As he tried to sit up, he once again heard the calls from his experience in the room. Of course: it was Lumen, Tenebris, and Amelia.
One of them nearly walked past him, but then spotted him stirring and rushed over to him. It was Lumen. He took Castien under one arm, supporting him as he brought him to his feet, and called for the others.

Will a DD214 work as proof that my husband is a vet for a discount at Lowe's?

Of course the DD214 form will work, as long as the guy has a picture ID. I think Lowe's won't be very picky anyway. Why would they? You worry too much.
Add your voice! Click below to answer. ThriftyFun is powered by your wisdom!
I saw postings for Senior Discounts but just as rewarding, there are Military discounts given. You must show active or retired proof such as DD214 form which my husband has laminated and carries in the car. This will get you 10% discount at Lowe's and or Home Depot in our area. There is free info on military discounts if you search the Web, although some want to charge for the same that is available for free if you search.
By Tarlo from Tampa Bay, FL
I recently discovered 15% discount at Walgreens, and an even greater 20% on Walgreens products. My Walgreens only offers the military discount on Tuesday and you have to check out at the cosmetic counter. On my last trip I saved $29 before coupons and store discounts, even if you don't do coupons that is some serious savings. (06/18/2009)

C & V's Sports Cafe / Element, 201 Columbia Mall Boulevard Suite 221: 2012 9 comments
At one time this corner storefrong in Capitol Centre was one of my favorite restaurants Cucos Mexican Cafe. I believe it's been more since then than the two businesses I currently have on the post title, C & V's Sports Cafe and Elements, but that's all that google is coming up with for me now.
Anyway, I noticed on my last drive through that it is empty again, and is due shortly to become a Bingo hall.
D's Shoe Warehouse, 201 Columbia Mall Boulevard (Capitol Centre): 31 January 2013 (moved) 1 comment
D's Shoe Warehouse was one of the very few stores left in Capitol Centre, the strip mall behind Columbia Mall which once held Capitol Centre Theatre, MOvies Behind The Mall, Circuit City, Cucos Mexican Cafe, Aliens & Alibis, and Jim's Discount Mall.
As of 31 January 2013, they have moved to Parklane, in the old site of Awesome Mattress.
Cucos Mexican Cafe, Capitol Centre: 1996 4 comments
In the mid-90s, Cucos Mexican Cafe was in the Capitol Centre strip-mall, adjoining Columbia Mall, the same place which was at the time home to Circuit City and Capitol Centre Theaters.
Cucos was a casual Tex-Mex eatery with what I still consider to be unusually good salsa. (It wasn't particullarly hot, but had some unusual ingredients, including carrot chunks to give it a very good flavor). The vegetarian burrito was good as well, and my sister, father & I enjoyed eating there on the weekends when I was back in town.
In the winter of 1995, I made the mistake of answering a technical question on an internal e-mail list just at the time they needed someone else to fill out a work party upgrading computers in Seoul Korea. Having raised my visibility, and being between projects, I was chosen and flew out of Augusta GA to Atlanta, through Portland OR and to Seoul to join the team from the west-coast office.
When I got there, everyone from California was sick and I was fine. Seoul in the winter is the coldest place I have ever been, and I have been in Kansas in Janurary. We were working mainly after hours so as not to disturb the computer users during the day, and I remember one night in particular when we had to leave a warm building (with no key to get back in) and wait 40 minutes in the snow and wind for a cab. Anyway, the point is, as I borded the plane back for the US, everyone else was feeling pretty good and I was starting to feel rocky. The trip from Seoul to Chicago (which was the route back) was the longest trip I can ever recall. When we hit Chicago, I put my watch from Seoul time to Central, meaning that when I got to Atlanta, I was off by an hour and missed my flight back to Augusta. By this point, I was ready to just lay myself down on a bench of Hartsfield seats and expire, but Delta got me on the next flight to Augusta, and somehow I made the drive back to Aiken. I had about enough energy to crawl into bed, and I didn't leave it for two weeks except for the bathroom and forcing down the occasional soda-cracker. I don't know the technical name for what I had, but I called it the Korean Death Flu. After two weeks flat on my back, I was finally able to start making it back into work for partial days, but I was still as weak as a kitten when the annual holiday break rolled around. What does this have to do with anything? Perhaps not much, but I vividly remember that the first day I felt really well again, it was close to Christmas, and I was sitting in Cucos having lunch, just marveling that I had an appitite and didn't ache anywhere. The realization of well-being came over me, and I just sort of sat back and enjoyed it, being in no hurry at all to finish and leave, and as it happened that day, my waitress was a very pretty Southern-Belle of Korean descent.
So what happened to Cucos? As far as I could tell, they did a very good business in that location, but that doesn't matter much if the whole chain gets into trouble. Googling around a bit, I find that in their SEC filing for 1995, Cucos said that casinos in the New Orleans area (their home base) were starting to cut into their earnings (frankly that sounds like a pretty flimsy excuse for doing poorly..) though they were taking measures to counter it. I'm guessing they started to retrench then, and not long after that, the Columbia location closed. Apparently they soldiered on until going into bankruptcy in 2002. I think there are still some Cucos left, but my impression is that they were succesful franchises bought out by the franchisees.
After the local Cucos folded, the corner spot it had occupied became a sports bar which lasted a few years, but is now vacant.
As for myself? -- I make sure to get a flu-shot every year now.
Circuit City, Columbia Mall area: 1980s/2000s 8 comments
When Circuit City came to town, their first location (as I recall it anyway) was on Two Notch Road, by the first Columbia Mall entrance. I didn't go there very often because, in short, I had no money at the time. I also found that the salesmen, who worked on commission, were rather predatory, and it was hard to get a close look at anything without one swooping down. In the late 80s or maybe the early 90s, they changed their corporate direction to be a "big box" player, and moved out of their original store (which now houses Wes Bolick bedrooms) and around the corner, so to speak, into a large store at Capitol Centre.
By this time, I had a real job, and a little money, so I would go browsing a bit more often. They always seemed to have a lot of interesting electronics (and appliances, which didn't really seem to fit with the rest of their concept). I found that if I stayed away from the TVs and large stereo systems, I could generally look unmolested by staff, but that checkout was now a big pain. At one time, Radio Shack had the most annoying checkout experience in electronics retail, belying their supposed tech savy by writing everything down on a pad by hand and running a total with a calculator and then nosing about your phone number and address. After Radio Shack reformed, Circuit City seemed to take up some of their nosiness, and I recall on a day when I was in a bad mood anyway, and just wanted to pay cash for a $10 tape for data backup that I rebelled when they started digging for all my personal data, and ended up boycotting the chain for about 5 years.
In that interval, they fell upon hard times. I think part of it was the DIVX debacle. Back when it was clear that technology was advancing to the point that VHS would be obsolete and that the next medium for distributing movies to retail would be some sort of CD sized disc, there were two contenders. One of these was, of course, DVD, and the other was DIVX (which has nothing to do with the current video codec called DivX, btw). The difference between the two formats (from a consumer perspective) was that DVD was "forever" while DIVX discs could only be played for a limited time period before expiring (making each purchase essentially a rental). Circuit city backed DIVX in a big way, and apparently shaded the truth in a lot of their sales-floor pitch, earning a lot of consumer bad-will.
In the meantime, Best Buy was challenging them with even bigger stores and more tech choices, and they have never completely recovered. None of that, I suppose, has anything to do with the move of this particular store from Capitol Centre to their current location out on Two Notch near Sandhills -- that was just the combination of the decline of Capitol Centre and the general flight from the Columbia Mall/Decker Blvd area out towards the north-east. (Once again, we can see that it wasn't lack of parking that did it.. :-) I ended my boycot years ago, and have been in their new store a number of times. It seems to me that Best Buy is still better at computer stuff (though neither compares to the late, lamented CompUSA in that regard), but that Circuit City is better than it was. Certainly they seem to have done away with commissions and you can generally browse more comfortably now, and the last time I bought something, they didn't ask for my phone number at all.
Capitol Centre Theatre, Capitol Centre: Feb 2000 8 comments
Capitol Centre is a hard-luck strip mall directly across from Columbia Mall (it shares access from the loop road around the Columbia Mall parking lot). It has never prospered, and as Columbia Mall has declined, it has done even worse. Most of the places there that have come and gone, I didn't care about at all, but there were a few that caught my notice.
The Capitol Centre Theatres were one such place:
This was a typical multiplex, built before the current fad for stadium seating, not bad not great. I think its main problem was that being only a parking-lot away from the (twice dead and resurrected) Columbia Mall theaters, it was hard to establish a unique identity or to make it the default theater of habbit for locals. Back when Pat Berman was still doing movie reviews in The State, she did an interview with a local theater manager at a time when several local theaters were going under, and asked him if the market were overbuilt. He replied that no, it was "under-fannied" (too few fannies on seats). I think circumstances conspired to make Capitol Place Theater under-fannied.
You would think that working movie projectors would be valuable and salable assets, at least until the digital switchover of the last few years, but apparently not:
Not much of a theater without projectors in the auditoriums, but it wouldn't take much to put the lobby back in service:
This lets us date the closing to no earlier than 28 Jan 2000 when Eye of the Beholder opened:
It also lets us pinpoint the proximate cause of the theater's closure: Robin Williams

Asafa Powell triumphed over his fellow Jamaican Usain Bolt in their eagerly awaited 100 metres contest at the IAAF Super Grand Prix meeting here last night.
Although the pair met at last month's national championships, Powell was recovering from a shoulder injury at the time and content simply to gain the qualifying time for the Olympic Games. But last night, in their first meaningful encounter, Powell kept his nerve and showed he is back to his very best form with an inspirational victory.
The former world record holder posted a season's best of 9.88 seconds when finishing ahead of his successor as the planet's fastest man by one hundredth of a second, with the promising Norwegian Jaysuma Ndure third in 10.06sec.
Powell, who lost his world mark to Bolt at the end of May, gained his revenge and dominated the race after establishing an early lead after 20 metres. Bolt responded to make a late surge to ensure a grandstand finish, but his challenge came just a little too late.
Cuba's Dayron Robles missed his world 110m hurdles record by just 0.04sec, winning in 12.91sec. Robles had set the world record last month in Ostrava in the Czech Republic. For setting a new stadium record, Robles earned a one-carat diamond worth $10,000 (£5,020).
Robles' time is the fourth-fastest in history, tied with Colin Jackson. Liu Xiang of China ran a 12.88sec and Dominique Arnold of the United States clocked 12.90sec in 2006.
The Olympic champion Jeremy Wariner won his third straight 400-metre race, but failed to improve the stadium record he set last year. The American eased up near the finish and crossed in 44.29sec, 0.39sec off his meeting record.
Running in near-perfect conditions, Wariner took an early lead and was unchallenged. "I went for victory today," he said. "It's a good winning time. Now I'm going home for tough training before the Olympics."
Chris Brown of the Bahamas finished second in 44.53sec and Ricardo Chambers of Jamaica third in 44.84sec.
Abubaker Kaki, a 19-year-old from Sudan, picked up the first diamond prize of the evening by winning the men's 1,000 metres in 2min 13.93sec. Kaki also got his named engraved on the silver Dickson Trophy, which was first contested in a mile race in 1895.
Previous winners of the Dickson Trophy include Britain's Sebastian Coe, the London Olympic 2012 chairman, who watched the race from the stands as a guest of honour.
