The Best Japanese Indie Games You've Never Played – "Sweet Home" Edition
Allisa James
EditorialsPC
In the third installment of my segment, I'll be talking about an obscure Japanese horror game that was developed by Capcom and released for the Famicom in 1989.
Sweet Home, based on the film of the same name, is an RPG developed by Capcom sprinkled with adventure and puzzle game themes. It was the inspiration for Capcom's later franchise, Resident Evil, but never saw an official Western release.
Warning — spoilers imminent, so please proceed at your own risk.
The story of the game follows the film's: five people (from left to right: Kazuo, Akiko, Taguchi, Asuka and Emi) venture into the abandoned mansion of famed artist Mamiya Ichirou, intent on filming a documentary while trying to restore Mamiya's works. Upon entering the mansion, the group discovers that the ghost of Lady Mamiya, Ichirou's wife, haunts the place and she does not intend to let the intruders escape with their lives. The crew must try to find a way out of the haunted mansion alive — and lay Lady Mamiya to rest once and for all in the process.
Players are soon bombarded by horrible zombie-like monsters that, freakishly enough, you find out were formally other people who ventured in the mansion and didn't make it out alive. As you explore, there are items called frescos (a type of mural painting) left behind by Ichirou that piece together the tragic story of Lady Mamiya.
Exploration itself is the usual overhead view with tile-based movement; the unique feature, however, is the greater emphasis on puzzle solving and exploration than actual battles. Party members are far more likely to die exploring than against enemies, due to the large amount of traps placed all over the mansion (including a few instant death ones).
Each of the five party members can equip a weapon and two regular items. They also possess a special item unique to only them: Kazuo, the leader of the group can use a Lighter that causes fire damage and burns flammable objects while exploring; Asuka uses a Vacuum to clean dirty frescos and remove glass shard hazards from the floor; Akiko is the nurse and her handy Medkit cures characters of various status ailments; Taguchi wields a camera that damages ghosts and bats in battle and reveals the contents of frescos that Asuka cleans; Emi, as the "Master of Lock-Picking," can use her key to unlock any locked door.
In battle, characters can choose one of several commands including Attack, Items, Pray, Tool, Run and Call. Call allows you to get a character not in your party to navigate the mansion and join in, since you can only have three party members maximum. This balancing of characters for different tasks becomes another important aspect of the game.
Pray is a special command that deals damage based on how many Prayer Points you use. An item called a Tonic restores these points but they're very limited in supply, so proper consumption of those points are key.
What makes this game so nail-bitingly difficult is the fact that when a party member falls in battle, they die for good. No magic spells or Phoenix Down here — they die a horrifying death and that's it. Sweet Home even shows players a lovely little scene to drive home that fact. If Kazuo or Taguchi dies, you see this:
And this is the screen shown for Asuka, Akiko or Emi if they die:
Even neater, there are five unique endings depending on how many characters survive till the end of the game, which is pretty amazing for a game on the Famicom.
This game pulls no punches in the character deaths, the story, gameplay or visuals. Sweet Home's an incredibly forward title that completely masters the genre it essentially created through its use of atmosphere, well-paced and suspenseful story-telling and team-based gaming mechanics. I highly recommend any video game horror fan to check out Sweet Home for themselves — it's a masterpiece that can't be missed.
You can download the excellent and professionally done fan translation here, and here is where you can learn about the gameplay mechanics.

Report: S. WALDECK, E.K. KOLLIG (GERMANY)
The value of interventional radiology in current combat environments
Interventional radiology is a relatively recent development within the field of radiology. It has extended the reach of the technique from use in purely diagnostic procedures to employment as part of minimally invasive treatment approaches.
The main feature of interventional radiology is that it provides imaging guidance during therapeutic intervention, whereby all forms of radiological media can be used (CT, ultrasound, fluoroscopy). Particular successes have been achieved with CT-guided intervention under damage control conditions in Camp Marmal in Mazar-e-Sharif (MES), the base of the Bundeswehr in Afghanistan. To illustrate this, we outline three selected cases in the following:
• CT-guided osteosynthesis in a case of fracture of the femoral neck
• CT-guided kyphoplasty in a case of vertebral fracture
• CT-guided pain management in a case of disc herniation
Used for all CT procedures in the field hospital at Camp Marmal was a six-slice CT scanner (Somatom Emotion, Siemens, Forchheim, Germany).
Case 1: Fracture of the femoral neck
Fracture of the femoral neck. The position of the bore holes was prepared and evaluated by CT. The positioning of the osteosynthesis screws was checked during a final review.
A married couple were involved in a road accident and brought to the field hospital. Both patients had suffered a medial fracture of the femoral neck – on the right in the case of the man and on the left in the case of the woman. Because of associated injuries to the lower leg, it was decided that it would be preferable to perform open surgery on the man. Following a diagnostic examination, the woman was referred for CT-guided percutaneous osteosynthesis in order to provide definitive remedial treatment as rapidly as possible.
After positioning of the patient, analgo-sedation was induced as was local anaesthesia under sterile conditions. Using a multiplanar intervention approach, the ideal work trajectory was first established. A guide sleeve was introduced into a stab incision so that a bone drill could be positioned at the correct angle. The angle of the bone drill was reviewed in multiple planes. The bore holes were prepared and evaluated with the help of CT. The use of this technique also made it possible to determine the ideal screw length. After the holes had been prepared using a thread cutter, the osteosynthesis screws were introduced and their positioning checked during a final review. Average time required for the introduction of each screw was 23 minutes. Immediately after surgery, the patient was stabilised for mobilisation.
Case 2: Vertebral fracture
An Afghan patient involved in a road accident (the vehicle had overturned) was brought to the emergency room of the field hospital of Camp Marmal in Mazar-e-Sharif (MES). Seen in computer tomography was a fracture of vertebrae T12 and L1 (Magerl A1.2). The patient was suffering extreme pain.
As the patient could not be hospitalised and a long period of immobilisation was not feasible, it was decided to perform kyphoplasty under damage control conditions. For this purpose, i.v. analgo-sedation was first induced and kyphoplasty needles were inserted in each of the vertebrae in question from the right hand side using a transpedicular approach under CT guidance. A kyphoplasty balloon was put in place and its positioning reviewed by means of CT. The bone cement was injected into the vertebrae through the needles. During final CT review, the cement was seen to be adequately distributed. The patient was kept under observation for a brief period of 4 hours after completion of surgery, and was then discharged in pain-free status.
Case 3: Disc herniation
A soldier reported with acute left-side lumbosciatica. Seen in CT was a left paramedial disc herniation at L5/S1 with associated discogenic recess stenosis at S1 left. There was no loss of strength. For purposes of acute pain management, an epidural interlaminar injection was recommended. The interventional procedures were planned, the patient placed in the prone position and a needle was introduced via the interlaminar epidural pathway into the spinal canal under sterile conditions and with the aid of CT guidance.
After the correct positioning of the needle had been confirmed, a mixture of a local anaesthetic, a corticosteroid and tramadol was injected. Following complication-free instillation, the patient was spontaneously almost completely pain-free. A second injection was given 2 days later, after which the patient no longer experienced any pain and was able to remain on duty in Afghanistan.
Vertebral fracture. CT showed a fracture of vertebrae T12 and L1 (Magerl A1.2). Under CT guidance kyphoplasty procederes were performed and its positioning reviewed. During final CT review, the bone cement was seen to be adequately distributed.
Computer tomography is a technique that provides for excellent diagnosis and visualisation of fractures and disc herniations. It also makes it possible to directly plan intervention with the aid of multiplanar views and in many cases it also facilitates image-guided, percutaneous minimally invasive primary intervention. With regard to radiation hygiene, there is no need for operator and surgical team to be exposed to radiation, as is the case when continual fluoroscopy is used, as these can leave the CT room for the period in which the CT scan is performed. There are also other ways in which exposure to radiation can be reduced during routine use (e.g. use of a sequential scan protocol with appropriate gantry tilting, manual KV and mAs reduction).
Because of the associated risk of aseptic necrosis of the head of the femur, fractures of the femoral neck must be treated as rapidly as possible. In this context, CT-guided osteosynthesis is a speedy and effective therapeutic option that can be performed under damage control conditions and which requires minimal personnel and material resources. The standard approach to dealing with Magerl type A fractures of the thoracolumbar region is either conservative (involving the corresponding prolongation of pain symptoms) or surgical, with the use of an internal fixation and ventral fusion as necessary (coupled with all the risks and expenses associated with surgery). A less invasive alternative is kyphoplasty, a technique which represents a favourable combination of the benefits and potential risks of the conservative and macrosurgical approaches.
Military requirements and the lack of the necessary infrastructure will normally exclude the possibility of rapid surgical intervention in cases of vertebral disc herniation in the field. In cases in which there is no loss of motor abilities, CT-guided epidural injection represents a safe and effective alternative for pain management. The supplementation of the solution with tramadol had a particularly beneficial effect.
Interventional radiology in combat environments provides a wide range of options with the aid of which highly precise emergency treatment can be provided under damage control conditions. CT-guided percutaneous intervention (in the cases of osteosynthesis of a femoral neck fracture, kyphoplasty in the thoracolumbar region and interlaminar epidural injection described above) made possible effective, safe, minimally invasive and resource-sparing primary treatment of the conditions. In certain situations, the technique is a practical supplement or even alternative to the standard open surgery damage control procedures used at level III.

Action, Drama, Horror
Though he directed some masterful films in the early 2000s, Bong Joon Ho truly launched onto the international scene in 2006 with his stunning thriller THE HOST. Part monster film, part family drama, sometimes scary, sometimes hilarious, it's a film that defies description, and it announced the arrival of an important voice in world cinema.
Park Gang-doo (Song Kang-ho, PARASITE) is a slightly dim-witted man who runs a snack bar near the river with his father. When a giant river creature attacks people at the banks, Gang-doo's daughter, Hyun-seo (Asung Ko, SNOWPIERCER), is taken, and he and the rest of his family are quarantined. To try and save his daughter, Gang-doo embarks on a journey that will put him against everything from the monster to a devious government.
With his sharp wit and masterful eye, Bong Joon Ho crafts a creature movie that is as much about character, humor, love, and anguish as it is about spectacle.
"Rarely plays out the way you expect. Director Bong is careful to deliver the promised scares, but he is also willing to overlook plot formulas to explore his own interests." — Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

California Drivers Ranked The Worst in the United States in Annual Study

California drivers are the worst in the United States, thanks to gridlocked freeways, smartphone use and an increase in drunk driving, according to an annual study by an insurance marketplace.
QuoteWizard, an online marketplace for auto insurance, said Thursday an overall increase in citations, distracted driving and DUIs helped push the Golden State to the number one spot in terms of bad drivers from second place in 2016.
"The dubious honor of having the worst drivers in the country goes to California," the study concluded. "California's less-than-stellar drivers are somewhat notorious — especially in gridlocked Los Angeles."
In fact, five of the top 10 cities with the worst drivers are located in California. Those cities include Sacramento — ranked the worst nationwide — Riverside, San Diego, Los Angeles and Bakersfield.
Following California in the worst-driver rankings were Minnesota, Utah, South Carolina and Washington. The state with the best drivers was Rhode Island.
"If you've ever been cut off by someone with an out-of-state plate and thought, 'Oh, it figures,' this study may be for you," said Adam Johnson of QuoteWizard. "QuoteWizard analyzed millions of data points on drivers from throughout the U.S. and what we found provides a pretty interesting and sometimes surprising snapshot of the best and worst drivers in America."
The company sampled data on accidents, fatalities, DUIs, speeding tickets and citations, collecting more than 2 million data points from drivers.

In the last years, anti nuclear groups have campaigned forcefully against nuclear new build in this country, using petitions, lobbying, participation in government consultations, and legal rallies and demonstrations – to no avail. With the decision of the government and the parliament on the National Policy Statement on nuclear power generation, it is clear that the government is pushing for nuclear power.
Stop New Nuclear adds to the traditional campaigning of a range of anti-nuclear groups a new campaign of civil resistance. We are convinced that civil disobedience is not only needed, it is justified. The revelations in early July 2011 of a coordinated public relations campaign between the nuclear industry and different government agencies to limit the impact of the catastrophe of Fukushima show that there is little chance to make our voices heard without resorting to nonviolent resistance. Therefore, we are calling for a non-violent blockade of Hinkley Point nuclear power station on 3 October 2011.
Hinkley Point is the first of eight proposed sites for nuclear new build to go ahead. EDF (Electricity de France), the owners of Hinkley Point, put in an application for preliminary works for its new nuclear power station in late November 2010, involving pre-construction activity across an area of more than 420 acres stretching from the Severn Estuary to the village of Shurton, filling in a beautiful valley and even starting excavation of the power station foundations down to a depth of up to 11 metres. On 28 July 2011, EDF was given permission for the preliminary works, although the permission for building the two new reactors is still outstanding. For more information, go to Stop Hinkley's website at http://stophinkley.org/PETITION.htm or at our website at http://stopnewnuclear.org.uk.
EDF announced that it aims to put in an application for the nuclear power station at Hinkley Point to the Infrastructure Planning Commission in October. This shows how important it is that our blockade on 3 October is big enough to provide a strong signal to government and EDF that we will not rest until they give up their plans for nuclear new build in this country (and elsewhere).
On 3 October 2011 we will – with hundreds of people – nonviolently blockade the access to Hinkley Point nuclear power station for one day. Should the police try to prevent us from getting onto the access road to Hinkley Point, or from getting in front of the gate, we will blockade the access road as close to the power station as possible.
The blockade will be organised democratically, based on affinity groups (groups of friends or people who joined for the action – more below) and consensus decision making. However, everyone is welcome, whether he or she is part of an affinity group or not.
The blockade is on a road, and therefore accessible for wheelchair users, who are welcome to join.
While the blockade will be the key focus, there will be plenty of roles and activities for people who do not wish to risk arrest. In and around the blockade we want to create a fun and life-affirming atmosphere, so bring music instruments, stuff for juggling or other things that help to create a joyful atmosphere.
Everyone who is anti-nuclear can come and join us on the day to express their opposition in many different ways. The blockade will be inclusive, allowing people from all walks of life and with a wide range of experience in non-violent action – or no experience at all – to participate. Together we want to create a safe environment for everyone, built on trust for each other, but also on our determination to stop nuclear new-build.
We will be providing non-violence training in the weeks and months before in different places around the UK, and on the weekend before the blockade in the camp near Bridgwater/Hinkley Point.
Non-violence training is a way to explore how to take non-violent direct action. During the training different forms of blockading – from sitting in the road to locking on to each other – will be explored, so that all participants can experience how it feels, and can make a decision about what kind of blockading feels right for them.
During the non-violence training, the concept of affinity groups – groups of 5-10 people who (get to) know each other, who trust each other and who go through the action together – and of consensus decision making will be explored and practised.
During the action, the different affinity groups will coordinate their actions and decisions using consensus and the model of a spokescouncil, to which each affinity group sends one spokesperson. In the days before the action – in the camp – the affinity groups present will make decisions about the details of the blockade via the spokescouncil.
These guidelines spell out the objectives, the basis of nonviolence and the principles of decision making and serve as the foundation of our actions during the blockade.
Within our nonviolent action, we want to act jointly according to the action guidelines below. This does not mean that everyone has to accept these guidelines as their own world-view – they are only an agreement for this action.
We are committed to acting always in a way that causes no harm to ourselves or others. We ask that everyone taking part in this action respect and follow these guidelines. The basic principle is respect for each person and the dignity of human beings. This means both, the exclusion of violence against persons, but also restraining from treating the 'opponent' in an insulting or discriminating way. The distinction between the person and the role a person plays allows us to accept the political opponent as a human being and to oppose him/her in a dialogue about his/her role as a representative of the system we criticise. During our action we will not carry any kind of weapon. We will also clear the blockade to allow emergency vehicles (fire or ambulance only – not police) in or out of the power station and then resume the blockade afterwards.
To provide as much safety as possible for everyone involved, we recommend you organise yourself in a like-minded group (an affinity group) for the blockade. These are groups of 8-10 people who know each other and will watch out for each other, being aware of each others limits, fears and objectives. This provides safety and close communication and support during the action and prevents individuals getting lost in the mass of people.
In order not to put ourselves or others at risk because of careless behaviour or limited awareness during an action, we agree to refrain from using substances that can alter our senses before and during the action.
One of our nonviolence aims for the blockade is to act in solidarity and respect each other as equals. i.e. all members of the group have the same chance to take part in the decision making process.
We will therefore attempt to take decisions by consensus. This means taking decisions which everyone in an affinity group can accept and finding solutions which allow us to be able to act as a group, and in which everyone takes the same responsibility for the decision. Consensus can also mean that different actions can take place, if we cannot agree on one action but can agree on several.
In order for all the people at the blockade to make joint consensus decisions we will work with a spokescouncil system. The spokescouncil is the body in which ideas, proposals for action and organisational issues are presented. Each affinity group sends one representative to the spokescouncil which exchanges information and opinions and makes decisions that affect the whole group.
One of the characteristics of nonviolent action is that action plans are announced publicly in advance. Nonviolent action is a public action, which also provides the opportunity to express our position to the general public. Each person decides for themselves if they are willing to carry the personal consequences of such an action (i.e. the risk of arrest, prosecution).
Nonviolent action includes offering constructive counter-proposals to the policies we are criticising and opposing. Proposed alternatives to nuclear power are the use of renewable energy, energy saving and reduction, return of energy production and distribution into our local communities under democratic control, and generally much more respect for life on earth. In relation to our action, we are practising working together democratically; the means are the end.
While we encourage everyone to come to the camp in the days before the blockade, we are also aware that not everyone has the time or is able to camp. For the latter group we are organising accommodation with other people locally, to allow as many people as possible to arrive early for the blockade, and to take part in the training and decision making in the camp.
Something to sit on (a cushion in a sealed plastic bag or an old carry-mat).
Food for you and to share.
Any medication you are taking in a clearly labelled bottle or box.
Banners, or material for banner making.
A bust card with legal support phone numbers will be available on the website nearer the date and from support teams at the gate.
The spirit of hope and resistance.
Anything that might be mistaken as an offensive weapon, for example penknives.
Anything you don't want the police to see such as address books, mobile phone contacts, etc.
Stop New Nuclear will be organising legal support, providing bust cards and a detailed legal briefing. It would be helpful for each affinity group to have a person acting as legal observer, who will be part of Stop New Nuclear's legal support team.
The legal support team cannot give legal advice. If you want legal advice, ask a lawyer.
record all arrests where possible, including the name of the person(s) arrested; the number(s) of the arresting officer(s); time of arrest(s); reason for the arrest(s) and any other relevant details, including if there is any use of excessive force or other unlawful behaviour by the police.
provide this information to the legal support team.
Legal observers should not liaise with the police. There will be a police liaison team on site.
There will be a workshop for all legal observers on Sunday afternoon from 3-5pm in the camp.
All legal observers need to bring a pen and paper and a mobile phone in order to contact the legal support team. Please send the name and mobile number of your legal observer to the legal support team at legalsupport@stopnewnuclear.org.uk before 21 September 2011, and come to the workshop in the camp on Sunday afternoon.
Legal observers do not enjoy any special protected status.
The legal support team will contact police stations, arrange lawyers if necessary, and keep a record of all arrests, places of detention and information about releases and arrange pick-ups from police stations.
Stop New Nuclear has a police liaison team, whose task it is to liaise with the police, but not to negotiate. The police liaison team is able to raise issues of unlawful police behaviour with the police, and will communicate demands from the police to the spokescouncil. The police liaison team mainly functions as a communication channel between the police and the participants of the blockade, via the spokescouncil. It does not take decisions on its own.
A first meeting with representatives of Avon and Somerset police took place in Bridgwater on 12 August 2011. The meeting was held in a friendly atmosphere, and the police liaison team repeatedly stressed the non-violent character of the action. We raised questions regarding parking, tea stall and loos, and a safe assembly space for people who do not want to risk arrest. Updated information will be available on our website and will be sent to all pledgers via our newsletters.
If you have not been arrested: After the blockade, there will be a de-brief and evaluation meeting and a social space in the camp, where you will also be able to get some food and to meet with everyone else.
You are welcome to find a place to sleep in the camp, and to travel back in your own transport when it suits you and your group. We will organise shuttles from the camp to Bridgwater train and bus station when needed, but will rely on the help of drivers and car owners, as pick-ups from police stations will be the main priority.
Make sure you know when your transport is due to leave and where it will be leaving from. Please remember to collect all your baggage and to always have it labelled.
If you have been arrested: When you are released there will be people outside the police station to collect you and to take you to the camp. Please tell the driver your name, whether you have been charged (and what you have been charged with), cautioned or released without charge. You should leave contact number, email, and your court date, if you wish us to follow-up on your case, and stay in touch.
Be careful not to book a return journey early if you intend to risk arrest, or if you intend to wait for someone else who is risking arrest. We hope you will join in the de-briefs and enjoy the food and company. There are places to sleep if you wish.
Information about people who have been arrested: Somebody from the legal support team will be at the camp. They will do their best to get information about your friends and members of your affinity group who have been arrested. Don't ring the legal support number for general enquiries about your friends.
All actions of civil disobedience carry a risk of arrest, and possibly legal consequences. A more detailed legal briefing is presently being produced, and will be updated as we receive more information which allows us to assess the situation more accurately.
For people blockading the road, the most likely charge is Obstruction of the Highway.
This is a minor offence, and might result in a fine of about £50-£250 (depending on how you plead and whether you have previous convictions) or a conditional discharge, plus court costs (between £30 and £250). Please note that these figures are based on the experience in other courts, as there has been no experience with local courts in relation to nonviolent action.
There are other charges if you do more than just blockading the road, and the detailed legal briefing will give a broader overview of potential charges.
As part of our police liaison we will try to find out whether the police plan to use any public order powers. Updated information will be available on our website and at a legal briefing at the camp.
A more detailed legal briefing will be available on the website by 5 September.
Hinkley Point is on the Severn Estuary. The nearest town is Bridgwater, which can be reached by train or coaches from London, Bristol, or other major cities.
We will have some mini-buses available to take people to the blockade from Bridgwater and the camp-site but hope that as many groups as possible will come with their own transport. Please be aware that the blockade may cause traffic hold-ups or make certain roads inaccessible.
Anyone with specific or individual access requirements please let us know so we can make arrangements in plenty of time.
For train times and fares please check http://nationalrail.co.uk . If you can bring a bicycle, please do so, as you will be more mobile.
There are direct trains from Bristol to Bridgwater about once per hour.
Trains from London to Bridgwater leave from London Paddington, either via Taunton or Bristol.

**)	the demonstration will finish at 4pm on Saturday, so that people can catch this bus.
From there it is possible to walk to the camp.
We will also organise transport from Bridgwater to the camp, but whoever can make their way on their own – either by using public transport, or with their own car – should do so.
Bridgwater is near the M5, south-west of Bristol. For people who want to come to the camp, please register for the camp to receive instructions on how to get to the camp site.
If you want to co-ordinate your travel, are looking for a car share or have places to offer, please use our travel forum at http://stopnewnuclear.org.uk/travelforum.
Maps are available at http://stopnewnuclear.org.uk/maps.
The action and the camp are organised in a participatory way, and on a small budget. The Stop New Nuclear alliance does not receive funding – for all we do, we depend on your donations and help.
Please get in touch with us urgently if you can help! Contact us on campaign@stopnewnuclear.org.uk or give us a call on 0845-2872381.
Organising the action and providing a camp infrastructure costs money that we presently do not have. Unlikely the nuclear industry, we do not receive subsidies – and we wouldn't want to. This means we urgently need your donations, so that we can organise minibuses for the days of the camp and blockade, print fliers, and get all the things that are needed for a successful action. None of us is getting paid – we are all working as volunteers.
All donations will be used for the organisation of the camp and the blockade.

Differ from our first generation messenger bag, this one features a changeable flap cover that can be easily removed to give your bag a brand new look. But what makes this bag truly special and unique is that the flap is customizable with your own design and picture. It has a main zippered compartment with two internal pockets and an extra open pocket in the front for your cell phone, wallets and other smaller essentials. This is the perfect sized bag to carry to school, work, travel or any occasion.
Review: This is a sturdy bag with one pocket on the inside and one pocket on the back. Nice long shoulder strap. Photo came out very nicely. Good bag to use every day.
Pros: Vibrant photo. Sturdy bag. Resists dirt.
Bottom Line: Great bag for everyday use!.
Review: Love these zipper pulls. Strange or not. Perfect size. Would like more separation in the main interior. Back pocket is great. Love the magnetic closer. Would like a slightly longer strap. Picture came out with a lot of depth.
Pros: Picture quality Size Construction Pretty zipper pulls back pocket zipper security.
Bottom Line: This is the perfect size bag for everyday in my opinion. Construction is strong and should last a long time. Just need some other flaps to keep it "new.".
Review: Excellent quality bag. Slightly bigger than I expected, it holds my lipstick, phone, sunnies and car keys.
Pros: Better quality than I expected for the price and I love how the cover can be changed depending on what you're wearing.
Cons: Colours are slightly lighter than I expected, but I think that's an issue with my monitor rather than with the manufacture of the bag.
Bottom Line: I love this new bag and will get lots of use out of it.

How to compile a code for 32-bit machine on a 64-bit machine?
Read the "System" section to determine if the computer is running in 64-bit or is 64-bit capable. A yes answer for either means the motherboard is 64-bit. A yes answer for either means the motherboard is 64-bit.... For information about Visual Studio support for creating 64-bit applications, see Visual Studio IDE 64-Bit Support. Compiler Support for Creating 64-Bit Applications By default, when you use the .NET Framework to build an application on either a 32-bit or a 64-bit computer, the application will run on a 64-bit computer as a native application (that is, not under WOW64).
NOTE: If your PC does not meet the above requirements, do not continue with this process. Instead, you may prefer to Build Your Server Lab in the Cloud by leveraging Windows Azure Virtual Machines. Building your lab in the cloud will allow you to complete most hands-on activities in this study group, but will not permit you to perform hands-on activities related to Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V.... Once converted to 64-bit, the EnumProcesses will correctly obtain both 32-bit and 64-bit processes. Steps to Convert 32-bit Visual Studio 2008 Project to 64-bit The following steps can be made within Visual Studio 2008 to convert the project from Win32 32-bit to x64 64-bit.

32 bit memory goes off pretty much exact mapping. Memory address 101...ect maps exactly to the address 101...ect. Because 64 bit has SO many addresses, it goes off virtual memory and these virtual ones are mapped to physical ones.


Does a 200% deposit bonus affect how many chances you'll get to win?
How do we select the best 200% Bonus Casinos for our UK Players?
If you're looking for the best 200% bonus casinos, we've got something special right here for you! There're a number casino bonuses offered to new players and one of them is a 200% casino deposit bonus. This works by calculating the amount which you deposit and then adds the bonus money into your account. Below is our list of the best casinos offering a 200% casino bonus.
The player begins by placing an amount into their casino account.
You are then given the bonus money, based on how much you deposited in correlation to the 200% casino bonus.
Once this has been proven satisfactory by the casino, the bonus money is then added to your account and ready to play with.
What's great about choosing from any one of our 200% bonus casinos is that we not only provide you casinos giving the best deals, but you can also be sure that they are proven to be safe, secure and UK licensed establishments, where you can spend your time. In the United Kingdom, welcome bonuses come in all shapes and sizes. Whether it's extra spins on popular games or an exclusive bonus, we'll show you exactly how to claim this bonus.
Some online casinos will offer their players an exclusive bonus which will happen in several stages. The 1stdeposit could give you a 200% welcome package, as well as some extra spins for you to spin on Starburst. Once this part of the bonus is over, there can be anything from two to five more stages.
Often is the case when claiming bonuses at casino sites and mobile casinos, is that you are subjected to wagering requirements, before you're able to cash out. What you'll normally find with matched deposit bonuses is that players are required to do anything from 30x to 35x wagering requirements and sometimes more. We suggest to our UK players that this is something to keep in mind when they start playing, as it can help you get the best out of your welcome package.
The answer is yes. The reason being that you'll start off with more money. Which means when playing games like Starburst slot or your favourite video poker games will be even more lucrative. UK players can expect to have more spins, for the same price that you'd be paying at other casino sites. Some casinos or mobile casinos also provide bonus codes for their players, these are usually entered when you sign up but some will allow existing customers to redeem the bonus codes.
This is a careful process where we select only the best British casinos where you can collect the best welcome bonuses from. All our online casinos are UK licensed by the Gambling Commission and this means that you can be certain that you're playing on a secure platform. Another thing which we base our list of best casinos on is payment methods. By choosing a casino site that has a good selection of payment methods means that if you ever need to switch to a more convenient payment method, it's likely that this will be accepted by the casino.
We also look at the variety of exclusive welcome offers. This could be anything from bonus spins on a bunch of online slots, such as Book of Dead, for you can claim, to reload bonuses that allow you to use your bonus funds to keep enjoying all your favourite table games, slot machines, live casinos and much more.
Our list is decorated with casinos that have a huge array of different titles and games to play. Whether it's a selection of jackpot slots, video poker entries, online slots and much more, from a bunch of developers, including NetEnt, Microgaming and Yggdrasil Gaming.
We remind all players that it's important to gamble responsibly when enjoying casino games and you should never wager more than you can afford to lose. If gambling does become a problem, you should seek help.


We came back after running a few calls, and went over to an abandoned building. After simulating a fire attack with a 250′ pre-connect, we began pulling drop ceiling with our axes and first, and then with a pike pole or rubbish hook. After completing approx. 500 square feet of ceiling pull, we were dispatched to a multiple-alarm fire at the Monte Carlo. Both of us at this time were assigned to Truck 1.
After a busy ride to the Monte Carlo (both of us were still packed out, and changed each others bottles out enroute), we arrived and were staged. Heavy black pressurized smoke was seen coming from the roof of the Monte Carlo Casino/Hotel. Earlier units were on scene, trying to locate the fire. Flames could be seen shooting from the roof. High-rise procedures were in effect, and the whole building was evacuated. Fire crews were reportedly airlifted to the rooftop. Crews were ordered to abandon the top floor. Our total on scene time was roughly and hour and a half.
When we returned to the station, we had a little time to grab a quick snack for lunch. After that, it was back to the abandoned building for more ceiling pull. We pulled another approx. 1000 square feet of drop ceiling. Then our masks were blacked out, and we were ordered to do a life search. A little while into it, we were told we had 30 seconds to get out of the building, or we were dead. We never made it. Staying blacked out, we were then taken to a different building, where we were separated, and told that we had 5 minutes to break through our respective walls to get out. The first wall was lathe and plaster. It was fairly easy to get through. Then we were taken to another wall, and given the same task. This wall was regular drywall, and proved a bit more difficult, but manageable. The last wall we were taken to had chicken wire running on both sides. It was extremely difficult to break through.
After dinner, we had some time to get things cleaned up throughout the station as best we could. Then it was back to training. One of us did a series of truck related events in a certain sequential order. This was repeated many, many times. The other of us pulled 5″ supply line a few times, set up a keenan loop, and threw the 35 foot ladder 6 times with the help of another firefighter. We then both took turns climbing to the top of the 100′ aerial ladder. We then took turns pulling 5″ supply line. We finished the night of by each of us pulling the 5″ supply line until we had pulled almost all of it out of the bed, and then reloaded it so it would lay nicer.
The hardest day here is better than the best day elsewhere…..I love this job!
In the end, after all the heartache of dealing with probation, it is worth every bit of sacrifice. This is such an awesome profession. We've all been there brother. You'll look back and be thankful for the experience.
