AR Pirates for Symbian
Symbian owners looking for augmented reality applications have a ray of sunshine this morning. Optricks Media have just released their first augmented reality game for 5th edition Symbian devices.
The game titled AR! Pirates is a natural feature tracking game where you use your phones camera to battle the attacking pirates hell bent on stealing your treasure. The game uses real coins to draw the game area which is a nice touch on the treasure theme.
A trial version of AR pirates is available from ww.arpirates.com (full version £0.99), with an iPhone version coming soon.
The full blurb from the guys over at Optricks Media below:
Available now for Series 60 Symbain 5th edition smartphones, AR! Pirates is Optricks Media's first augmented reality game for mobile platforms. It's a fun and innovative first-person shooter that pits you against fleets of approaching pirate galleons that fire at you from all angles as they sail towards the island where the Captain's treasure is hidden. Don't let them land or they'll drop anchor and steal his treasure!
Use your phone's camera and screen to shoot and sink the virtual galleons that appear integrated in the real world via Augmented Reality. You'll gather treasure and power ups when you sink a pirate ship and as you progress, more and more pirate ships will try to plunder the Captain's treasure.
AR! Pirates uses an innovative 3 coin marker system that provides a stable and immersive gaming experience.
Play AR! Pirates at any scale! Use larger markers such as flying discs or paper plates. You can play with small ships on your desk using 3 coins or play with almost life sized ships in the park. But watch out as the larger your markers are, the more active you have to be when playing the game!

|First Appearance
|Ninja Gaiden (Xbox)
Gobdecks (魔神ゴブデク majin gobudeku) are stronger forms of the Gallas. They come in two varieties of Fire and Ice, and usually pop out of the ground.
Similar to the Galla, only they are orange/blue and have thorns on their bodies.
Abilities and PowersEdit
These are basically the same as the weaker Gallas.
Fire/Ice Breath: Depending on whether they are fire or ice Gobdecks, they will breath a stream of orange/blue flame. The Gobdeck can turn around & hit Ryu with its tail for damage.
Roll: Like the Gallas, Gobdecks will start charging up in a spin mode, then release itself in a devastating roll attack.
Bite Throw: The most damaging of their attacks, they will bite at the head, shaking their prey back and forth, then throw their victim. As a throw attack this move is unblockable.
Melee: Melee attacks are clawing, headbutt charges and tail swipes.
Tough Hide: Gobdecks also have tough hide protects to it from projectile weapons such as bullets, shurikens and arrows.
Burrow: Gobdecks usually wait burrowed underground, popping out from the ground to ambush their prey.
Ninja Gaiden : Gobdecks are first encountered in the Caverns. In the Ice part of the Caverns, Ryu Hayabusa fights Ice versions of Gobdecks, then later in the Magma part of the Caverns he battles Fire Gobdecks. Some Gobdecks sit and wait in magma, breathing fire and swiping at anything that gets close to them.
Ninja Gaiden Black : Gobdecks are completely removed from the game except for four fire types in mission Path Of The Master Ninja, Phase #2.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma : Gobdecks can be found in the Hard difficulty of chapter 8, "Alma, Greater Fiend". Three can be found in Drawbridge square, where if killed Rachel's can acquire her ninpo / magic Blades of the Ouroboros. Several more can be found in the chapter's Fiend Challenge by the Military Gate.
Same strategy as the Galla, only Gobdecks do more damage, are more likely to attack from off screen and take more hits to kill.

I sense the need to move quickly now.
Funny thing. This story is ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
My prepping started, and I can tell you exactly when.
I was cleaning out a closet, my wife had passed the previous year, and there is a closet in a spare bedroom I have.
I was due to leave town during mid-week, had some things I needed to take care of.
So that weekend, I started thinking I should use the space and store some stuff, I went to the store, bought about a hundred dollars of canned goods, and started arranging it in the closet.
I know the exact date, because a bit more than one week later, two airplanes crashed into the WTC buildings.
It was Sep 2, 2001
I took that as a sign that I need to get serious about learning things and making preps.
This time it feels different, though. Like a volcano getting ready to erupt...
Some sociopaths don't get that part, and want to steal. That's also part of the human condition.
Those that prepare survive.
Those that don't, or decide to steal, tend to not survive.
We ignore our gut instincts at our peril, they have been developed over thousands of years.
Ever see a squirrel that didn't put nuts away for winter?

The Vortex of Madness and Other Planar Perils
|Chris Pramas
|First published
The Vortex of Madness and Other Planar Perils is an adventure module for the 2nd edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.
Plot summary[edit]
The Vortex of Madness and Other Planar Perils is a set of five adventures which are linked and set in the outer planes. The adventures were designed to be run separately from one another or run together, and are for high level adventurers.[1]
These adventures are structured so that encounters do not just involve monsters to fight, although statistics are provided for combat.[1] The eponymous adventure "The Vortex of Madness" involves a powerful prisoner held in a magical prison on the plane of Limbo; this location provides a tie-in adventure to connect all of the other locations together.[1]
Publication history[edit]
The Vortex of Madness and Other Planar Perils was published by Wizards of the Coast and written by Chris Pramas.[1]
The Vortex of Madness and Other Planar Perils was reviewed by the online version of Pyramid on July 14, 2000.[1] Although the cover proclaims that the adventures are intended "For High Level Heroes!", the reviewer notes that "there are no recommended levels to be found within. My estimation is that you would want to be at least 9th and probably at most 14th level to adventure in these areas -- lower level adventurers will not have the spells and abilities to handle the challenges within. Adventurers of much higher levels would need to have the challenges boosted in power to give them a run for their money."[1]

Facebook has woven itself into the fabric of everyday life in ways that seemed unimaginable when the social networking platform launched in 2004. There were 1.13 billion daily active Facebook users in June 2016, with the vast majority (1.03 billion) accessing Facebook daily via their mobile devices.
These users have embraced Facebook as an easy and convenient way to communicate with family and friends, either publicly or through private messaging. But Facebook has become much more than a digital platform for keeping up with family and friends; for tens of millions of people, it has become the primary storage service for their personal content.
Facebook users by 2013 had uploaded more than 250 billion photos to the site. In that year an average of 350 million photos were uploaded daily, which breaks down to 4,051 photo uploads per second. While some of these photos may be relatively unimportant even to the Facebook users posting them, many are highly personal – photos of babies, graduation and wedding ceremonies, reunions, distant relatives, etc. – and therefore of great value to their owners and others.
Photos and other digital content also are important to the millions of people who use Facebook as a primary – and often their main – business tool. Sole proprietors and larger organizations alike store customer contact information and other digital business assets on the social networking company's cloud, interact with customers, and roll out marketing and branding campaigns.
Traditionally, in a hypothetical scenario where your household was up in flames, it was common form to first rescue your family photo albums because they contained records and memories that could be forever lost to the fire. Today those albums are digital, but we should be just as prepared to prevent them from falling victim to disaster.
Content at Risk
Whether the reasons are personal, professional, or both, Facebook has evolved into a – perhaps the - major cloud-based platform for storing important digital content. Some of this content is irreplaceable; for example, many smartphone owners upload a photo or video to Facebook and then delete it from their devices to save storage space. Though this frees up space on their mobile devices, the only copy of that content that remains is in the Facebook cloud.
That's a risk for obvious reasons. And while Facebook (and other cloud providers) presumably put a lot of effort into ensuring the privacy and security of their clients' personal information and digital content, bad stuff happens in the cyber world. Though fresher data is unavailable, Facebook said in a 2010 infographic on security that, on any given day, only .06% of the social network's roughly 1 billion logins are compromised. As the tech media noted at the time, that percentage actually translated into 600,000 compromised logins daily.
Remember, a compromised Facebook login means that a hacker has full control over a user's account. Granted, hackers may be more interested in using this temporary power to launch some sort of financial scam from the user's Facebook account, but they also can post content and send invitations under the user's name, view personal information, and delete everything in the account on a whim.
Hackers and other cyber criminals aren't the only threats to user content stored on Facebook's cloud, though. Users can unintentionally delete their own content, and app malfunctions can lead to digital data loss from the social network's servers. Or, as some unfortunate office workers and students have found out, an account left logged in is an account that's easily tampered with - whether by an opportunistic office prankster or a more malicious individual.
Facebook does offer a seemingly simple way to back up data locally by clicking on "Download a copy of your Facebook data" in the users' General Account Settings. But, as Facebook warns, "Unfortunately, there's no way to individually select which data you would like to download when you download your Facebook info. You'll have to download your file in its entirety."
That may not be ideal for someone who has more than a decade's worth of archived media in Facebook's cloud. Worse, the download includes a lot more than a user's timeline, activity log, and uploaded content; it also includes "information that is not available simply by logging into your account, like the ads you have clicked on, data like the IP addresses that are logged when you log into or out of Facebook, and more," the social network said.
The Components of Effective Facebook Backup
If backing up data on Facebook is too time-consuming, confusing, or cumbersome, people simply won't do it, despite the risk. Thus a good system for backing up Facebook content would:
- Be incremental, backing up new content as it appears.
- Work on behalf of the user, even if the user is not running an application locally.
- Provide security so that the backed-up data is accessible only to the user and restricted from anyone else, including the backup solution vendor.
As more valuable personal and business content is stored on Facebook, users are increasingly likely to attract attempted hijackings and even ransomware attacks, in which data is held until a ransom payment is made. One in five respondents to the 2016 Acronis World Backup Day Survey said they would be willing to pay $500 or more to recover lost files.
A Good Idea
Acronis True Image 2017 allows Facebook users to back up photos, videos, timeline, comments, liked pages, and events from the social network.
Acronis True Image 2017 automates and simplifies Facebook data backup by:
- Backing up only the changes to a feed, rather than the entire feed each time (as Facebook currently does). This reduces backup size and time.
- Working in on Acronis server side on behalf of a user without user intervention.
- Having complete control of all user content and images without relying on native social media tools.

Geronimo, theartpreneurs curator-in-chief was also invited to speak at this summit, below is an excerpt of the interview.
Is an artpreneur a wealthy artist?
If that's what they want and can take the punches they could be.
The difference between an enterprepneur and an artpreneur, the latter's cause is to bring art into the enterprise in their own capacity being artists or business people rewarding everyone fairly.
An artpreneur is a dreamer, can be an artist or anyone who can bring art into any enterprise in their own capacity. The artpreneur creates the vision and cause allowing opportunities for independent vertical growth in a horizontally grown tribe spreading the wealth fairly to the entitled rather than the titled.
Making movies and theatre when it comes to teamwork are great examples, everyone's role is as important behind and on stage and all are performing it with passion, growing in their own space.
Wealth was once measured with the variety of spices one possessed, it's more of a mindset when defined by reaching to be happy and satisfied excluding greed and need for power and competition.
Deliver beauty with passion and you're on the right track.
How do you define an 'artist'?
The difference between an art student or a talented art creator is having the will and passion to break the mold and follow their emotions to the limit and beyond to live art entirely.
Now the difference between an artist and a master is the desire to excel.
Which defines an artist as a passionate emotional lone ranger aiming to prove there is no reality without a dream.
Art is a truthful mirror of the artist, you can't hide anything there and it will determine who and what you are.
Can you become wealthy while making a living from art?
Let's admit it. Being an 'artist' is not the most practical career choice to make.
A wonderful quote attributed to a great Indian chief he said "when I'm living I want to live well" we say "it's a right not a privilege". Creativity, time, talent and know-how are not free if you're able to provide this you are entitled for a fair pay, you won't need to worry about the cost of paint and canvas or how to keep the lights on.
The demand is there, art is an emotional investment, you are not in a competition when you have reached the level to be called an artist. Your art will tell it all, it's not about perfection the good news there is an art lover of every kind of art, it's about getting it out there to share it with potential target audience who can appreciate and afford it while delivering your message in the best manner possible, truthfully.
In short certainly you can make a living being an artist, it all depends on your art and where you position it to determine the level of wellness you will achieve.
Should you be creating and selling your art same time?
Ideally not, but not everyone is Ai Wei Wei, Hirst or Koones and we can't wait until we're dead to live well. If you have the time, passion and money to set up your own gallery and run a business you should make more than a decent living, which is not the case in most cases.
But on the other side of the spectrum, one can be in danger of becoming a 'sellout'. Most artists dread becoming a sellout more than being a starving artist. Being a sellout is a term used within the artist group only; labeling those who are believed to have sold their artistic beliefs and aesthetics to have outward success.
If the art of a visual artist for example is accepted by the discerning eye of a gallerist, the fees are virtual in a sense and justified when the gallerist or promoter is taking the financial risk and investing their time to promote someone else believing in their talent and vision. Which comes back to how seriously you're taking your art to drive your passion and desire that is reflected in your creation.
The internet offers us a wonderful opportunity to share with potential millions, it requires far less capital but not any less commitment in time. It can eventually produce results depending on what you're selling in artsy products or pictures, sculptures etc., I don't believe it's a platform to position artists at real gallery level yet.
So it's a question of time, know-how and commitment if you have to do it yourself. Artists must not feel guilty to make a fortune from their art. You are not selling out because you're making money–artists have the right to live well, after all.
How do you support artists?
We've been busy trying to come up with different ideas including help crowdfund community art projects focusing mostly on street artists, our campaigns on Twitter mostly were very successful we decided to bring it to the site, the engagement is phenomenal on average between our different handlers 95% of our tweets are shared with like minded artoholics and when we brought this phenomenal engagement to the site the average return visits is reaching a mind blowing 50-60%.
Here's how we do it and why.
The first and main reason an artist brings her or his art to Twitter is to share it with followers hoping it will be RT'd to reach more likeminded potential fans and collectors. Well we do just that, we share art from all kind of artists, our potential reach today is to over 20 million artoholics with over 30k very loyally busy followers.
It takes a great deal of time to curate all these works, it cannot be automated, it has to be done with passion, improvised as we never know what is the next amazing art we will stumble upon and decide on which artimagz we can reach target audience who would appreciate the genre or type of art.
To sustain this, we offer our service to mainly art galleries and luxury lifestyle brands where we can be an asset to their marketing campaign to provide them with unique content, resulting in:
- Real engagement with loyal new and existing followers
- Own an artimagz i-publication which will create a different level of engagement on their sites
- Focused reach to target discerning audience who can appreciate their products and services
- Doing all that while patroning the arts supporting new and emerging artists allowing them reach to share their creations with potential new fans and collectors by blending their art in their artimagz.
We can services best a wide range of industries starting obviously with Art Galleries, art event organizers being in visual, performing or other, fashion and interior designers, cars and bikes, jewelry, watches, travel, sports, food, fitness we are passionate about all this stuff besides they all blend very well with art sharing likeminded audience who will appreciate this mix.

Sex and the City NYC Premiere: I hope they wear insane dresses. Oh, good!
Sarah Jessica Parker and the girls dazzled New York last night at the premiere of Sex and the City: The Movie. And by dazzled I mean these broads look ridiculous. For a show that's about fashion you'd figure they'd at least look somewhat hot and not like my high school prom if everyone was 40. More »

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Review by Nemesissy
"A challenger approaching?"
Being one of the most hyped games ever isn't ever good. It can lead to massive disappointment, even if the game's great. I personally never get really excited over a game in case I find it to be rubbish. Despite this, I couldn't help but be excited by the sequel to the excellent Super Smash Bros Melee. So here we go.
Brawl follows the same path as it's predecessors. Instead of the traditional 'hammer your opponent until their health runs out', you must increase their damage counter and smash them off the screen. This worked well in previous Smash Bros installments, and does so again in this one.
A large character line-up includes many previous faces, such as the obvious Mario, Link, and Pikchu, etc. It expands on Super Smash Bros Melee's set list by cramming in many new characters and including some older characters. Some new characters you will recognise, some you might not. I won't spoil anything for you though. Unfortunately, due to the large set list, there's a large number of clones. For those who don't know, clones are characters with similar fighting styles or moves. Ganondorf and Captain Falcon from Melee, for example, were clones. And I'm definitely sure Link, Young Link, and Marth from Melee were all designed by the same guy. They move similarly and attack similarly. In Brawl, this problem is intensified due to the large number of fighters. But don't worry, some are unique fighters.
Each character has special moves, just like before. Some are very powerful, while some are useless and do no damage (Seriously). Aside from the Special moves, you have the good old Smash attacks. These are for launching your foe off the arena. You also have your basic punches and kicks. The character list has been evened out, sort of, so that most really strong characters lack speed, such as Bowser, while some weaker characters are very fast, like Fox. You've always got the characters in between, such as Mario. Mario is the type of character beginners will use as he is really the all-round fighter.
The good old Melee mode from Melee has been renamed Brawl, for obvious reasons. Here you pick your character, opponents, type of fight, stage, and then get brawling. Significant changes in the fights from Melee. Fights are slower, and not the insane smash-fest from Melee. It can be harder to KO your foes. This is a slight disappointment, as many will love the fast-paced fighting, but this slower fight may suit the more strategic fighters. The AI levels are stronger than before. In Melee, you had 9 levels of difficulty. Same here, except this time, the levels are far stronger. Where in Melee, the Level 1 foes simply walked into your punches, the Level 1 foes in Brawl actually put up a fight. They will hurt you if you give them the chance. The Level 7, 8 and 9s are just insanely difficult and require skill to defeat them. One thing you may have noticed is that AI enemies focus their attacks on you. You may notice this and dismiss it as paranoia as an AI enemy chases you to use it's Final Smash on you, but it's not paranoia. The AI really is programmed to fight you more than other AI enemies. It gives the feeling of injustice and can feel unfair. The AI is not that smart either. Melee's AI was much better. Aside from that, fights aren't much different from Melee. Fights are still great fun, even more when played with other people. The large selection of items also piles on the fun, and it's always worth showing off how cool your Jigglypuff is.
And then we have the Final Smashes. The Final Smash ball appears and floats around the stage. You must hit it until it breaks and you can use your Final Smash. Each character has their own Final Smash. Whenever this thing appears, every fighter races towards it and it's a mad scramble as each fighter tries to get that all important hit to break it open. Final Smashes are, for the most part, devastating. Some, like Peach, are rubbish and don't do much. But some, for example Samus' Zero Laser, can wipe the stage clear with an enormous laser. They are really visual feasts, although not that fun when your character is on the end of a huge fireball launched t you by Mario. A nice little item that can be turned on and off like other items, although they do become a bit of a gimmick. Don't deny their power and usefulness though. they can really help you at times.
The stages themselves are more focused on visual effects, rather than hazards on the actual stage. This is emphasised more by the inclusion of several Melee stages. The visual effects are really nice though, but it can seem like each stage is lacking the imagination of Melee's stages.
Classic mode returns for the single player mode. You fight your way through several rounds, some just fights, some team fights, some special rounds. The number of rounds has increased from Melee, but still features our old friend Master Hand at the end. And yes, he's still fighting on Final Destination. Nothing much new here. You get 5 difficulty levels as before, but 3 of them are Hard. There's Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard and Intense. Unskilled players may be forced to play Easy or Normal at first.
In place of Adventure mode, we have the much anticipated Subspace Emissary (SSE). I'll tell you now the SSE is simply a glorified Adventure mode. Very overlong at several hours and consisting of platforming segments that are awkward with characters designed for fighting, not platforming. By playing through SSE you unlock most of the secret characters (in fact, all of them can be unlocked here. A couple need to be found after completing the game). But when you unlock them, they simply join you. You don't get the 'Challenger Approaches!' scenario that we all love. To get that, you must unlock them using other methods, such as playing VS mode x amount of times. Really annoying. SSE also cheekily re-uses levels late on, to make it last longer. A real letdown.
Target Test returns, but with a change. Whereas in Melee, you had different stages for each character, in Brawl, it's the same stage for each character, with 5 different stages. This is to put the focus on speed runs, but removes the fun of Target Tests. Shame.
Good old Home Run Contest returns. A sandbag, an arena and a Home Run Bat. Simply whack the Sandbag in the few seconds you have, and then launch it as far down the track as you can. The only real difference from Melee is that the platform that you start on has a forcefield around it to stop the Sandbag falling off by accident. Finally, no more Sandbag-falling-off-the-platform-and-going-2-inches! Be warned, as the forcefield will break if you repeatedly hit the Sandbag against it.
The Stage Builder. This new addition allows you to make your own stages, albeit not as extravagant as the ones already in the game. You get to choose the size, song that's played, and then start adding features, such as blocks and platforms to stand on, spikes, ladders, and other ornamental objects to fight around. The game already has 3 sample stages made to give you an idea. This is a neat little addition that could keep you happy for a while.
Trophies return, each one with a piece of information. Gone is Melee's little table to hold them. Brawl has a large castle turret to hold all 544 trophies. 544! It'll take a long time to collect them all. Unfortunately, some need to be obtained in SSE by throwing a special item at them which transforms them into trophies. It's bad enough having to revisit SSE........
Most people will choose to control the game using the Gamecube controller, as it is the most sensible method of controlling. The controls are very much the same as Melee, with X/Y used to jump, B used for special moves, A used for standard moves, and L/R for shielding/dodging.
Graphically, only Super Mario Galaxy is better. Each fighter is beautifully designed, and the stages and Final Smashes are wonderful to look at.Just marvel at how Samus looks without that suit.............
The game has loads of songs on it, with more to unlock. You can tell how much effort has gone into this. You can also choose how often you want a certain song to appear on a stage. You could very well buy Super Smash Bros Brawl as a music CD and be perfectly happy. Nintendo has always had excellent music though.
In terms of longetivity, this could very well keep you playing until the next SSB installment (if one is made). Some hardcore gamers will immediately shove Melee back into the Wii after discovering wavedashing has been removed, or that the fights are slower than Melee's and not as frantic. And although I believe Brawl to have way more content, Melee is the better fighting game. Combine the two and you have gaming gold.
Despite Brawl being a great game, I can't help but feel a tad disappointed. Here's hoping a sequel is created, and that it's as engrossing and deep as Brawl and as mad and fun as Melee. A very good 8/10.

Windows Phone/RT welcome dozens of new apps: Instagram, Vine, FIFA 2014, Asphalt, Temple Run 2 and more
0. phoneArena posted on 22 Oct 2013, 03:02
Today, Nokia has announced that a number of new apps will be coming to the Windows Phone/RT platforms to complement its new hardware...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

OMG , Nokia nailed it. Now Microsoft should sit up and deliver more features to Windows phone OS (notification bar, better volume controls etc.
14. TechBizJP08 (Posts: 495; Member since: 25 Mar 2013)
Its coming my good friend. In due time..
35. ZeroCide (Posts: 785; Member since: 09 Jan 2013)
It will be here in WP 8.1 due out in few months

Nokia is the BEST! I don't think we've seen that much dedication before, especially coming from an OEM. M$ should be really glad to have Nokia under its arm. Much love and great job Nokia!

WOW by this windows os is one of the fast developing OS in the world !!!!
12. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
No it's not... Three years later is has market share under 7%.
16. cc3493 (Posts: 158; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
Market share is not a determining factor of how fast an OS develops. It only shows how much of a portion of the market the phone has claimed. Its a totally different category.
22. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Alright, so in three years, they've made little changes. I don't see how it's the fastest developing OS. Windows App Store is still lacking tremendously, which is why so many are turned off by the OS.
26. papss (unregistered)
I disagree smurf... they have made big changes in the last year alone. I remember getting my l920 and it needed major help in many categories but by the time I got the l10 20 it was much better and I see it again with this. Ext round of phones. Dog it all you want but it's a wonderful OS that is getting to where it needs and if apple doesn't start moving I can see wp moving into second place within another year or so.
39. Dastrix (unregistered)
LMAOOOO... Now go back to your Google Search Box.

Now WP deserves to be considered as a outstanding OS.

15. 7thspaceman (Posts: 1583; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
the nokia tablet runs the new and improved Windows 8.1 on arms CPU operating system. This OS only runs Apps and programs designed to run on a touch screen Tablet like the Ipads and Android tablets do. it will not run any Desktop Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 desktop programs but it does come Pre loaded with Microsoft Home /Student/ and Windows "Outlook" making it a
tablet a busuines Person or college student can use to make documents and presentations.
7. woodshop20 (Posts: 459; Member since: 14 Sep 2013)
Yes! More apps means more OS competition, which is always good for the consumer. Me, I prefer Android because I like to tinker and flash roms.

The fear generated by media use of the words "government shutdown" is amazing.

Much as I'd like to think some people on the Left might reject knee-jerk nationalism, articles like this one are all too typical.

Federalism — the idea of a nation made up of smaller, semi-autonomous states — was deemed so important by the founders of the United States that they included it in the "Bill of Rights," the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

While the traditional left has been way off base when covering issues related to the 10th Amendment, Chris Weigant over at Huffington Post is much more fair in his review of both nullification specifically, and the 10th Amendment Movement in general.
Usually, places like HuffPo, MSNBC, ThinkProgress, and elsewhere slam the 10th as being pointless, try to make fun of people who believe in limited government under the 10th by calling them "Tenthers," try to associate the entire movement with vile racism, and other nasty rhetoric designed to distract from the real issues.
On the other hand, there's Weigant, who's obviously making a sincere effort to give a fair report. I think he make some good points, too. Here's an excerpt:
The Tenth Amendment is one of the rarer parts of the Bill of Rights for the Supreme Court to actually rule on, but every so often one of these cases is taken up by the Court. And, increasingly, Republicans are using it as a "last resort" against federal laws they don't like. Although, to be fair, one of the more recent decisions (Gonzales v. Raich) went against a California woman who argued that since she was growing medical marijuana on her own land for her own consumption, the constitutional powers of the federal government to regulate interstate trade simply did not apply. The Supreme Court disagreed, but at least it was consistent, since it had ruled during World War II that a wheat farmer could not use this argument to escape federal war efforts to regulate wheat production (Wickard v. Filburn). In both cases, the Court reasoned, even if the farmer didn't sell his or her crop, it could still impact the interstate commerce for that crop. Meaning Congress could, indeed, regulate itDetails
It's hard to cover everything that needs to be addressed in this 6+ minute video, but I'll touch on a few of them below.
Here's a few observations:
1. Turley is absolutely correct that "decades of precedent" in the courts oppose the view that the federal government is not authorized to enact a national health care plan. But, what he fails to point out, is that under the original meaning, intention and understanding of the Constitution – these kinds of powers would have been unthinkable. The court is, in plain English, wrong. Learn more here.
2. Neither the host nor Turley seem to have any clue about nullification – or its current efforts. Nullification has nothing to do with getting a positive ruling from the Supreme Court. It's when a state passes a law simply refusing to implement a federal law. In fact, it has a long history in the American tradition. It's been used to resist laws against free speech, fugitive slave laws, the use of the militia in war and more. Hardly "right-wing" at all. Learn more here.Details
When "they" start giving you a name – and especially when they attempt to use it in a derogatory fashion – you know you're having an effect.
So here comes the new one – "The Tenthers." I recently started seeing a few references to this term in the standard places, Alternet, ThinkProgress, and elsewhere. But now it seems to have come from on high like the NeoCons did with every new buzzword during the Bush years.
These days, everyone from MSNBC on downward is disparaging those who invoke the principles of limited government that the 10th Amendment stands for as something awful. And they've got this cute little word for it too!Details
Writes Gary Marbut from FirearmsFreedomAct.com:
I just received an email from CNN saying that the Montana Firearms Freedom Act story will be on the CNN Lou Dobbs show today at 5:15PM, Mountain Time (7:15 Eastern)
If anyone gets the video from this, please send it our way asap!

"Failure to report on MRI scan"
About: King's Mill Hospital King's Mill Hospital Sutton-In-Ashfield NG17 4JL
Posted by Alison h (as ),
My husband has been really poorly and after a traumatic first MRI attended Out patients for a repeat MRI 4 weeks ago.
Still no result so thinking no news is good news? However we decided to contact MRI department only to be told it hasn't even been reported on?
As it stands we're waiting for a call and we still have uncertainty.

I've just upgraded from 3.5 to 3.6, it ran the progress bar in the browser to the end, clicked next. Spiceworks then started, opened the browser to load the standard landing page, and now comes up with:An Application Error Occurred
Sorry! We've encountered an application error.
And then instructions to contact you.
I've tried restarting Spiceworks from the tray icon, but when I do every time it then loads the upgrading screen again. Very strange!
I've emailed the spiceworks_package.zip to you and referenced this thread.
This topic was created during version 3.6.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

First give a check that you have your network password correct - that caused me a lot of angst when I changed it upgrade SW and it all went wrong - still, lesson learned :-)
Another thing to check is, you have your backup of SW (yes you do don't you!) so we can try a few things from safe to scary
- Safe - Change from application to service and vice-versa and see if that gets it to work in one situation or another (report back so we can try and work out what is causing it to do that)
- Safe - check you application and system logs for spurious erros and see if SW is generating any service faults etc
- Scary - Take your backup, put it away somewhere safe, then remove spiceworks from the machine completely (clear the progam files\spiceworks folder) then re-install with the most recent version and see if the problem is still there
Report back and help others if the same problem occurs for them
Good luck
Mar 18, 2009 at 4:14 UTC
I can't get into SW at all, so theres no way to check my password, although I know the password hasn't changed for that account.
I didn't take a backup of Spiceworks manually, the updater ran automatically when the computer was restarted. Does it take a backup on it's own?
How do I change from application to service?
Mar 18, 2009 at 5:05 UTC
akp982 is an IT service provider.
Right click the icon next to the clock for spiceworks (the orange one) click run as service, enter login details, save / apply
How do I change from application to service?
Mar 18, 2009 at 5:39 UTC
I have changed it to a service rather than run on startup.
When I launched it it came up with the upgrading screen again with the scrollbar, and then when i clicked next again I got the error has occured.
Mar 18, 2009 at 5:45 UTC

As you have emailed spiceworks with the logs someone will get back to you asap :)

Crown Castle International
It's been a stellar year for shareholders of Crown Castle International ( CCI) -- shares of the $20 billion wireless infrastructure firm have rallied close to 50% since the first trading day of January. But hindsight is 20/20. With a massive rally under foot, the question now is whether CCI will be able to keep up its trajectory from this point on. Here's how we'll know... Right now, CCI is consolidating sideways in a rectangle pattern with resistance at $68 and support at $64. That's not a surprising turn of events -- consolidations give shareholders a chance to catch their breath and decide what to do next after a large move, and CCI shareholders probably need to breathe after the rally. The easiest way to think about a rectangle is that it's an "If/Then Trade": If shares of CCI breaks above resistance, then it's time to buy shares. If they slide below support, then it's time to short. There's no trade until one of those conditions is met. I realize that this strategy of selling a "bargain" and buying a more expensive stock may sound alien to a diehard value investor. But as a technical trader, it doesn't matter if a stock becomes more expensive as long as it keeps getting more expensive until you decide to sell. Waiting for the breakout gives us a high probability that it will.

Learn how to design and build your very own artificial grass landscape.
Excavation and Base Construction
Remove old sod/dirt to a depth of 4″. Lay down landscape fabric over entire project area. Place 2″ of 3/4″ road base over entire area, rake evenly, water thoroughly and compact with plate tamper (compactor). Place another 2″ of ¾" road base over project area, rake evenly, water thoroughly, and compact. Be sure there are no low spots within the area of the Artificial Grass.
Lay artificial grass over project area. Preferably keep fibers facing same direction (never opposite direction).
Cut off factory excess 2-4 tufts in. Try and line seams up as best as possible. If you have to, cut one piece of turf to the other getting the backing of both pieces as close as possible to one another without overlapping. Lay seam tape half under one piece and half under the other. Fold turf away from seam and pour glue. Spread glue evenly with glue spreader. Let glue get
tacky and lay pieces back down. Be careful not to bury any fibers or get glue on the fibers
.Put seam together like a zipper. Nail the seam every 4-6 inches on both sides with 4-5 inch galvanized spiral spikes. Be sure not to bury any fibers or create any indentations in the base.

Nothing sparks more controversy in the urologic world as the PSA test. PSA is a blood test used in men to screen for prostate cancer. The higher the PSA, the greater the probability of finding prostate cancer on biopsy. The problem is that often we find small volume, less aggressive cancers that may not need to be treated. This can lead to overtreatment, which has potential negative effects. The data can be interpreted from different perspectives.
Some of the arguments against checking your PSA are:
Arguments in favor of checking PSA and screening for prostate cancer are:
Common sense needs to be used in this situation. Data and statistics can be manipulated to show almost anything you want. The short term U.S. study is roughly the equivalent of taking 1000 twenty-year-old men and having half of them smoke for five years. At the end of the study, the fact that no one had died of lung cancer or heart disease would then "show" us that tobacco doesn't cause these problems. Does this mean it's true? No, it means that the study was designed poorly.
PSA is a tool – it needs to be understood and not abused. Yes, PSA is overused and yes, prostate cancer is over-treated BUT these are problems we should learn from, not turn away from. Most urologists recommend screening every 1-2 years from ages 50 to 69. Men at higher risks or with symptoms can start earlier. Those who are in great health and have a life expectancy greater than 10 years can continue to check. This should be a shared decision between you and your doctor. I'm sure there is a lot more to come!

In fact, he watches a person in black leave the hand at a bus stop and then ride the bus away. (He doesn't know it is a hand until he looks in the bag after the bus has left.)
The cops of the Isola 87th Precinct search the missing persons records. The coroner tells them the hand is large. It probably came from a large man. The murderer cut away the fingerprints so the hand's size is all they have to go on.
Carella and his crew follow up until they have narrowed the known possibilities. Then they seem to hit a dead end.
Their search centers around a beautiful stripper. Several men competed for her.
Then they find the second hand.
If all this sounds gruesome, you need to know this story has just begun.
Give the Boys a Great Big Hand is the most macabre 87th precinct novel yet. It is a brilliant combination of police procedural and horror story. In that regard, aside from the style, it reminded me of the macabre William Faulkner.
And all this is for a purpose. At one point McBain writes, "If you are one of those people who like motion pictures where a man fires a gun and a small spurt of dust explodes on the victim's chest—just a small spurt of dust, no blood—then police work is not the line for you. Similarly, if you are one of those people who believes corpses look 'just like they're sleeping,' it is fortunate you are not a cop. If you are a cop, you know that death is seldom pretty, that it is in fact the ugliest and most frightening event that can over take a human being."
McBain seems convinced that movies and much fiction glamorize murder, make it seem tame. Those same stories also glamorize what it means to be a cop.
None of that for Ed McBain. Whatever else police work is (and McBain has great respect for good cops), it is not heroic (in the traditional sense) or glamorous. This is the second book in a row to make that point strongly.
McBain is always breaking new ground. He writes about the squad, not the individual detective. He portrays cops as having families, having love and loss. And he writes about police work in what he sees to be a realistic way.
If that's the kind of thing you are looking for in a police procedural, I recommend Ed McBain.
"Bert," she said, "man does not live by bed alone."
"The city is a woman, you understand. It could be nothing but a woman. A small town can be the girl next door or an old man creaking in a rocker or a gangly teenager growing out of his dungarees, but the city could be none of these things, the city can only be a woman. And like a woman, the city generates love and hate, respect and disesteem, passion and indifference. She is always the same city, always the same woman, but oh the faces she wears, oh the magic guile of this strutting bitch."

Now, a women-only team of rangers has cut poaching in a national park by 75 percent, which is seen as a major success at a time when the black market for horns is booming. Before taking on poachers, the "Black Mambas", as the rangers are called, were unemployed. They say helping save rhinos has given them independence and confidence.

This issue was unusual in that it was at least talked about (on TOMCAT-DEV a little), but I don't recall a formal (or even informal) public vote on the outcome.

The way to do that is to exercise the software engineering disciplines required -- open source or not makes no difference. > > Costin Craig McClanahan
