Ephemera Conference 28, 2008
Location: Old Greenwich,
This year's ephemera conference features discussions on photograph collections depicting Arizona, unusual collections like papermaking, rulers, and presidential campaign biographies, artifacts from the Steamboat Arabia, Franklin D. Roosevelt's ephemera hobby, scrapbooking with ephemera, Russian avant-garde books, and the rise of popular consumer art following Ben-Hur. For more see the complete list of topics below.
Jeremy Rowe: "Collecting Outside the Box"
Jeremy is the Executive Director of the School of Computing and Informatics at Arizona State University, and works in 3D modeling and visualization to blend historic materials and new technologies.
Panel: Sidney Berger (Papermaking), Beth Carroll-Horrocks (Rulers), Thomas Horrocks (Presidential Campaign Biographies), Susan Strange (Holiday Letters)
Beth Carroll-Horrocks's collection of rulers, begun in 1987, currently numbers more than 5,000 items in a variety of formats, sizes, shapes, and dates, but with a concentration on paper rulers. Special collecting categories include Philadelphia and Boston-area advertising; Smokey the Bear; fish measurement; books, libraries, and museums; peter meters; multi-use rulers; objects made from or decorated with rulers (including fabric and clothing); edible rulers; social or health causes; the metric/anti-metric campaign; Benjamin Franklin; and ruler "jokes." She is the Director of Archives at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, in Cambridge, MA. Thomas A. Horrocks has a scholarly interest in politics in 19th century America. But his collection of 19th century presidential campaign biographies (winners and losers) breaks traditional bounds of ephemera when it comes to the thousand items about William McKinley. He is Associate Librarian for Collections of Harvard's Houghton Library. About 10 years ago, Susan B. Strange decided holiday letters are today's version of the once-common diary and are therefore worthy of being collected. Thanks to family and friends, she now has a private collection of approximately 2,000 letters from 1948 to the present. She is a reference archivist at the Archives Center, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution.
Elizabeth Isenburg: "Treasure of the Steamboat Arabia"
Elizabeth Isenburg is a social historian, and became keenly interested in history through her father's stories and by participating in living history programs.
Anthony Musso: "Collecting a Collector - FDR, the Philatelist"
Tony Musso, an avid philatelist, has worked for the United States Postal Service for 37 years and has, as a public affairs manager, been involved with numerous programs and events to promote new stamp releases. In addition to his 2006 book, FDR and the Post Office, he wrote Setting the Record Straight, a book on the music of the 1950s and 1960s. He is a weekly columnist for the Gannet Newspapers' Poughkeepsie Journal
Panel of Beginning Collectors: Jared Ash (Russian Design), Doug Clouse (Type Specimens), Evelyn Khoo (Chinese Spirit Papers), Peter Zinman (College Broadsides)
Doug Clouse's Master's thesis of 2007 from The Bard Graduate Center for Studies in the Decorative Arts on the 19th century Philadelphia type foundry of MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan was awarded a Clive Wainwright Award for best thesis. He was drawn to ephemera as evidence of the more unusual type specimens he studied for a book project, completed with Angela Voulangas, Freaks of Fancy, Artistic Printing and the Ethics of Ornament
Jon Solomon: "Ben-Hur - A Prototype for Commercialization" [EN v26n3 (2008), 1, 12-22]
Evelyn Khoo's fledgling collection of Chinese spirit papers is contemporary 'joss' collected from her home country of Singapore in Southeast Asia. These papers, burnt in Chinese religious festivals as 'money for the dead,' range from the more traditional red ink and mulberry paper printed with images of deities to the more 'modern' versions such as joss cell phones and credit cards. She is a Graduate Assistant in the Conservation Unit of the University of Maryland Libraries. Peter Zinman collected his first college broadside while an undergraduate at Dartmouth. He collects all printed materials concerning the hazing of freshmen by sophomores and other inter-class rivalries. Visit Peter's exhibit in Winthrop. Peter is a graduate also of NYU School of Law and Columbia Business School, and is a business executive in Manhattan.

Could Tommy Jarvis Be Returning To Friday The 13th?
Jason Parker August 05, 2011
It has been most every Friday The 13th fans dream to see the Tommy Jarvis character return to the film franchise. He was the one solid constant that gave the series consistency when many people felt there was none. While communicating with Six Degrees Of Hell Writer and Producer Harrison Smith, we learned Tommy's return could be a possibility.
Corey Feldman has been working hard on Harrison's newest film, and during the shoot, Harrison learned of some exciting news and thoughts from Corey about his Tommy Jarvis character that he wanted us to pass on to all of our visitors. First of all, Corey wants us to know that he is extremely grateful to the Friday the 13th fans for their support over the years. He is very aware of our enthusiasm for the film franchise and as such is currently working towards developing a new film that would bring the Tommy Jarvis character back to the screen!
Of course there are a lot of things that would need to be worked out to make this a reality, however, it is indeed encouraging to know that Corey is actively working to reprise his role in Friday the 13th. If any other updates on this news become available, we will be sure to let everyone know!
One last note, Harrison wanted to let everyone know that Corey was gracious, generous and a real pleasure to work with on Six Degrees Of Hell. Below are some on-set photos by the famous haunted hotel where the filming took place. Make sure to visit the official website for the film to catch up on all of the gory details!

California's Drone Trespass Bill Goes Too Far
Law and Public Policy Drones
In Drones, Law and Public Policy, Publications, Articles, White Papers
California legislators are looking to tackle the perceived problem of drone trespasses with a modified version of a bill that was introduced earlier this year. Unfortunately they've gone too far in the most recent version of the proposed legislation.
This bill was originally a privacy bill, and it was innovative when it was first introduced. Because it was originally very narrowly tailored and focused on prohibiting trespasses in circumstances where a drone operator was violating a landowner's expectation of privacy, it struck an appropriate balance between innovation and rights. The bill was narrow and careful in that it required plaintiffs to prove a series of elements to make their case. Requiring multiple elements of proof is important as it protects rights and guards against frivolous litigation.
Here is some of the original language from the preamble of the legislation when it was proposed earlier this year:
Existing law imposes liability for physical invasion of privacy, if a person knowingly enters onto the land of another without permission or otherwise commits a trespass in order to capture any image or recording of the plaintiff engaging in a private activity and the invasion is offensive to a reasonable person. (my emphasis in bold)
The key here is that the original bill created a cause of action only when someone was trespassing for a very specific purpose — to violate one's privacy. The bill did this by modifying California's existing physical invasion of privacy law. If the bill had stayed as proposed, to prove a violation would require a plaintiff to prove not only that the drone entered the airspace above a person's property without their permission, but also all of the following things:
The operator knowingly violated the landowner's rights, and
The operator captured any type of visual image, sound recording, or other physical impression of the plaintiff, and
That image or recording of the plaintiff showed them "engaging in a private, personal, or familial activity", and
The invasion of privacy was "in a manner that is offensive to a reasonable person."
That's a pretty sensible approach focused on privacy harms. All four elements have to be proven, which means we won't see spurious or vexatious litigation because the bar to litigation is high enough that someone isn't going to sue unless their privacy was truly violated. It also serves to protect First Amendment rights because it is narrowly tailored to address privacy harms, rather than being a broad ban on aerial imaging or the mere act of flying.
But those protections are no longer in the bill. Now, the proposed legislation makes it a trespass if a drone merely flies below 350 feet altitude above someone's property. There's no need to prove that the operator knowingly did so, there's no need to prove that any privacy harm occurred, or that any image or video was gathered, and there's no requirement that reasonable people find the action offensive.
Taking those proof elements out creates a piece of legislation that effectively prohibits overflights, without any showing that any harm has occurred. This is not a smart approach as it may seriously stifle innovation and countless legitimate uses of drones ranging from journalism, to real estate photography, to power line and utility inspections.
I also wonder whether 350 feet is the right altitude. We all recognize that landowners have some right to exclude aerial trespasses. For example, a local jurisdiction could certainty pass a law prohibiting a drone from hovering at 5 feet above your back porch. How far above 5 feet does that right extend? It's unclear, but the Supreme Court in the famous Causby case told us that "if the landowner is to have full enjoyment of the land, he must have exclusive control of the immediate reaches of the enveloping atmosphere." Unfortunately that still doesn't tell us very much other than that there is some limit on the landowner's rights when the airspace is not within "the immediate reaches of the enveloping atmosphere."
In a white paper published last year, I focused on law enforcement drones and suggested that providing land owners with a 350 foot exclusionary zone above their property might be a way to provide them with greater privacy rights. But, by the time SB 142 was before the California Senate Judiciary Committee I had a sense that 350 feet was too high, and I suggested to committee members that the limit should probably be lower — likely 200 feet. (I'm in the process of updating a longer forthcoming version of that paper to reflect my evolving views, lowering my proposed limit from 350 feet to 200 feet).
Why 200 feet? The rationale is pretty straightforward, the FAA has long required that obstacles exceeding a height of 200 feet be marked and lighted. This regulatory approach has mostly ignored obstacles below 200 feet, leaving most of those issues to state and local land use laws. If the proposed California law is to withstand a preemption challenge, it will likely need to steer clear of areas where the Federal government has traditionally regulated — in this instance that means keeping the focus on airspace below 200 feet. Now drones aren't obstacles, but the reference point is an important one as it suggests there is some airspace that the FAA has (with limited exceptions) not exclusively regulated.
We're already seeing industry starting to propose 200 feet as the sensible limit. The graphic below illustrates Amazon's plan, which features a high speed drone transit zone from 200-400 feet and an area below 200 feet that is for localized traffic. It's a pretty good proposal, although one question is whether they are seeking to exclude certain types of drones from the 200-400 foot high speed corridor, which may unnecessarily limit non-delivery applications.
Amazon proposed a segregated airspace below 500 feet for the operation of drones on Tuesday. (Photo: Amazon.com)
Irrespective of the specific merits of the overall Amazon proposal, it suggests that industry is trending towards recognizing 200 feet, not 350 feet as the altitude that makes sense for a dividing line between state and local control of drones and federal rules for drones. That is to say, the airspace above 200 feet may be the exclusive domain of the federal government and the airspace below 200 feet may be the domain of local control and perhaps may be the ceiling of property rights.
Which brings us back to California's "drone trespass" bill. I think the proposed legislation by reaching to 350 feet reaches too high, excluding overflights in an area where technology needs space to operate and develop. We can't predict what will come in the future, and we need to be careful to not overly limit technology while in its infancy, so that means we have to be very cautious in how we legislate. It's also important to recognize that from a legal perspective 350 feet is far more likely to fall in a preemption challenge, meaning the law will be likely short lived if signed by the governor as is.
None of this is to fault the legislators, this is an unsettled area of law with rapidly evolving technology. Getting the altitude limit wrong is understandable — I made the mistake myself, thinking that 350 feet was the right altitude as it would provide a 150 foot transit zone for the safe operation of drones. I now think that's too restrictive —stifling innovation and free use of this technology, without providing any real benefits to persons on the ground. The fact that well intentioned people can get this wrong, suggests that many more informed parties need to be involved in the process of creating sensible legislation.
Having more parties at the table when making rules is something that has already begun through the U.S. Department of Commerce's multi-stakeholder process regarding drone privacy. I had the privilege of speaking at the first multi-stakeholder meeting and I found that there's a great deal that can be learned by having the right people in the room — especially when it comes to balancing privacy with innovation and individual rights. Which is why the California bill is frustrating from a privacy perspective. Taking away important protections that prevent unnecessary litigation doesn't serve anyone. It creates a circumstance where people are more inclined to sue even where there is no proof of harm.
It's admittedly hard work to craft a law regarding drones that balances the rights and concerns of property owners with the rights of operators and the desire for technological innovation. If the legislature wants to create a bill that will work, they should focus on preventing harms that aren't already addressed by existing law, reinserting the deleted elements of proof of a privacy harm that were in the original bill and served as an important limit on vexatious litigation, and modifying the landowner's airspace right to a more defensible maximum of 200 feet.

Boat fishing at Kilmore Quay is regarded as being among the best in Ireland. A wide range of species is available as can be seen from returns in recent years where no less than 35 different types of fish have been recorded. Shore fishing in the area is also of a very high standard from a number of rock, beach and pier venues.
The Spring and Autumn fishing in particular is highly regarded for Bass, Codling, Coalfish, Dogfish, Wrasse, Ray and Flounder and no matter what the weather conditions there will always be a sheltered location close by that can produce good results.

Corso wrote at least one poem on my FTL physics ideas.
Jack and I experienced a real 'magick' mushroom download with me shortly after he moved into my flat at Union and Grant in North Beach that confirmed quantum entanglement. This was either autumn of '82 or early '83. I was given some mushrooms that were psilocibin cubensis.I ate several of them and almost immediately, within less than a minute Jack looked at my and asked if i was tripping and I was shocked and said no, not at all. I told him I had in the last minute eaten something, but in no way was I feeling anything psychedelic yet.Mushrooms usually took about 45 minutes at least to come on fully.
He told me he could feel it very strongly and his face was flushed and pink. After some time went by I realized I was not having any kind of psychedelic experience. I was stone cold sober, but Jack was tripping and acting like it, His talk was all about faster than light communication but I don't think the significance of exactly *how* he went on a psychedelic trip really hit him at that point. It was a full-blown 8 hour trip for Jack and I could feel the psychedelic energy radiating from him.This was around the time of Reagan's Star Wars idea that Jack was involved in through Cap Weinberger Jr and Alain Aspect's visit to North Beach.

Everything Solid Melts Into the Street
Egypt January-25 Revolution Flickr: Colorznshapes
(Translated by Cristina Cielo.)
First published in America Latina en movimiento, 15 February 2011,
as "Todo lo sólido se desvanece en la calle".
The hunger riots that have shaken the Arab world are only the first waves in the great social tsunami engendered among the poorest peoples of the planet. The phenomenal increase in the price of foods (corn 58%, wheat 62%, over the course of a year) is the fuse that sparks the eruptions. These are fueled, however, by the brutal financial speculation that is again focusing on raw materials. Some prices top the highest spikes in 2008, and the World Bank and the IMF are incapable of putting the brakes on speculation on food commodities, that is, on life.
Two points about the Arab revolts call our attention: the speed with which the hunger riots turned into political revolts; and the fear of the dominant elite which over the last decades only responded to social and political problems with internal security and repressive measures. The former speaks to a new politicization of the poor in the Middle East; the latter, to the difficulties of those in power in dealing with that politicization. The system is showing only too well that it can co-exist with any state authority, even the most "radical" or "anti-systemic." But it cannot tolerate people on the street, revolts, permanent rebellions. The people in the street are a spanner in the works in the accumulation of capital, which is why one of the first "measures" taken by the military after Mubarak left was to demand that citizens abandon the street and return to work.
But if those in power cannot co-exist with the streets and occupied squares, those below - who have learned to topple Pharaohs - have not yet learned how to jam the flows and movements of capital. Something much more complex is needed than blocking tanks or dispersing anti-riot police. In contrast to state apparatuses, capital flows without territory, so it is impossible to pin down and confront. Still further: it traverses us, it models our bodies and behaviors, it is part of our everyday lives and, as Foucault pointed out, it shares our beds and our dreams. Although there is an outside to the State and its institutions, it is difficult to imagine an outside to capital. Neither barricades nor revolts will suffice to fight it.
Despite these limitations, the hunger revolts that became anti-authoritarian revolts are a depth charge to the most important equilibriums of the world system. These will not remain unscathed by the destabilization in the Middle East. The progressive Israeli press was right in noting that what is least needed in the region is some kind of stability. In Gideon Levy's words, "stability encompasses millions of Arabs living under criminal regimes and evil tyrannies .... Maintaining Middle East stability means perpetuating the intolerable situation by which some 2.5 million Palestinians exist without any rights under the heel of Israeli rule" (Haaretz, 10 February 2011).
When millions of people possess the streets, everything is possible. As tends to happen with earthquakes, first the heaviest and most poorly built structures fall, that is, the oldest and least legitimate regimes. But once the first tremor has passed, fractures begin to appear, cracked walls and overburdened beams can no longer hold up the structures. Violent upheavals are followed by gradual but more profound changes. We saw something of that in South America between the Venezuelan Caracazo in 1989 and Bolivia's second Gas War in 2005. Over the years, the powers that shored up the neoliberal model were forced to abandon governments; a new relation of forces was established in the region.
Translator's note: The Caracazo was a wave of violent protests in Venezuela against pro-market reforms imposed by the government, and the Gas Wars were mass mobilizations protesting Bolivian government support of multinational exploitation of natural gas resources. Both sets of protests eventually led to the deposing of neoliberal governments.
We are entering into a period of uncertainty and increasing disorder. In South America, the emergent power of Brazil has assembled a regional architecture as an alternative to the collapsing order. The Union of South American Nations is a good indicator of this. Everything suggests, however, that things will be far more complicated in the Middle East, given the enormous political and social polarization in the region, the ferocious interstate competition and because both the United States and Israel believe that their future depends on sustaining realities that can in fact no longer be propped up.
The Middle East brings together some of the most brutal contradictions of the contemporary world. Firstly, there are the determined efforts to sustain an outdated unilateralism. Secondly, it is the region where the principal tendency of the contemporary world is most visible: the brutal concentration of power and wealth. Never before in the history of humanity has just one nation, the United States, expended as much in military spending as the rest of the world combined. And it is in the Middle East where that armed power exercises supreme force to buttress the world-system. What's more: a small state of some seven million inhabitants has twice as many nuclear weapons as China, the second world power.
It is possible that the Arab revolts may open a fissure in the colossal concentration of power that has been manifest in the region since the Second World War. Only time will tell if what is brewing is a tsunami so powerful that not even the Pentagon will be able to surf its waves. But we mustn't forget that tsunamis make no distinctions: they sweep up rights and lefts, the just and the sinners, the rebels and the conservatives. Nevertheless, they are in many ways similar to revolutions: they leave nothing in their place and they provoke enormous suffering before things return to some kind of normalcy, better perhaps than before, or maybe just less bad.

Stauf ist ein Gemeindeteil des Marktes Thalmässing im Landkreis Roth (Mittelfranken, Bayern). Der Ort war ursprünglich bedeutender als der jetzige Hauptort und war bis ins 18. Jahrhundert hinein Sitz des ansbachischen Oberamtes Stauf. Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts entstand die Gemeinde Stauf, die 1971 nach Thalmässing eingegliedert wurde.

Geographische Lage
Das Dorf Stauf liegt am Nordrand des Naturparks Altmühltal im Südwestteil der Fränkischen Alb. Das Fränkische Seenland erstreckt sich westlich des Ortes, die sich ostnordöstlich des Burgbergs () bzw. südwestlich des Altenbergs () ausbreitet.

Geschichte
Stauf wurde erstmals entweder 1138 oder 1147 urkundlich erwähnt. Die Siedlung wurde zu Füßen des Burgbergs angelegt. Die Burg und der Ort waren seit 1460 Sitz des Amts Stauf, des späteren Oberamtes Stauf-Landeck. Die Burg ging vom Geschlecht der Staufer besitztümlich an die Hohenzollern über, bis es im Jahr 1806 an Bayern ging.

Am 1. Juli 1971 wurde die Gemeinde Stauf, der auch der Ort Steindl angehörte, im Zuge der Gebietsreform in den Markt Thalmässing eingegliedert.

Wirtschaft und Infrastruktur

Burg Stauf
Die Burgruine Stauf befindet sich auf dem  hohen Burgberg auf einer Plattform mit einem Durchmesser von zirka 45 Metern. Den zentralen Palas aus dem 13. Jahrhundert umgaben ursprünglich breite Gräben. Ab 1309 wurde die Burg mehrmals zerstört, aber zweimal auf kaiserlichen Befehl wieder aufgebaut. Erst nach dem Krieg zwischen Markgraf Albrecht Achilles und Ludwig dem Reichen von Bayern-Landshut im Jahr 1460 verfiel die Burg zur Ruine. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurden die Burg und der Ort nochmals schwer getroffen. Von der Burg ist nur das sogenannte Kastnerhaus, ein Bau des früheren Rokoko, erhalten geblieben. Heute bewohnt ein privater Besitzer den teilweise ausgebauten Burgbereich, der nicht besichtigt werden kann.

Michael-Kirschner-Kulturmuseum
Das Haus Nr. 16, das ehemalige Bauernanwesen von Michael Kirschner, wird von dem Verein Dorfgemeinschaft Stauf e. V. zu einem bäuerlichen Museum, dem Michael-Kirschner-Kulturmuseum, umgebaut. Es besteht aus einem Wohnstallhaus, einer historischen Scheune und weiteren kleineren Wirtschaftsgebäuden. Das Museum soll die Lebens- und Arbeitsweise von drei Generationen einer alteingesessenen kleinbäuerlichen Familie zeigen.

Povijest Islama je povijest islamske vjere i njenih sljedbenika muslimana. Islam i muslimani su uveliko utjecali na političku, ekonomsku i vojnu povijest Starog svijeta, posebno Bliskog Istoka, gdje leže njegovi korijeni.

Islam je nastao u današnjoj Saudijskoj Arabiji u ranom sedmom stoljeću poslije Krista. Za manje od stotinu godina nakon smrti posljednjeg poslanika Muhameda, islamsko carstvo se prostiralo od Andaluzije (Španjolska) na zapadu do Inda na istoku. Kasnija carstva kao što su Abasidsko, Fatimidsko, Almoravidsko, Seldžusko, Ajuransko, Adal, Varsagnali carstvo u Somaliji, Mogulsko carstvo u Indiji, Safavidsko carstvo u Perziji i Osmanlijsko carstvo su bile utjecajne i ugledne sile u svijetu. Islamska civilizacija je izgradila mnogo centara kulture i znanosti i proizvela poznate znanstvenike, zvjezdoznance, matematičare, liječnike i filozofe tijekom zlatnog doba Islama. Tehnologija je cvjetala, bilo je ulaganja u gospodarsku infrastrukturu, kao što su sustavi za navodnjavanje i kanali; a važnost čitanja Kurana proizvela je relativno visoku razinu pismenosti.

U kasnijem Srednjem vijeku, destruktivna Mongolska invazija s istoka i gubitak stanovništva zbog crne smrti, znatno je oslabila tradicionalno središte islamskog svijeta, koje se prostire od Perzije do Egipta, a Osmanlijsko carstvo nije bilo u stanju osvojiti veći dio arapskog govornog područja i ponovo stvoriti islamski svijet moći, iako je bilo u stanju svladati izazove Ranog modernog doba.

Kasnije, u modernoj povijesti (18. i 19. stoljeće), mnoge islamske regije su pale pod utjecaj europskih velikih sila. Nakon Prvog svjetskog rata, Osmanlijska područja su podijeljene na nekoliko zemalja pod uvjetima Ugovora iz Sevresa.

Islamsko porijeklo

Islam je nastao u kontekstu kasne antike. U predislamskoj Arabiji, arapska plemena su živjela na Arapskom poluotoku. U glavnom vjerskom i komercijalnom centru živjelo je pleme Kurejš kojem je pripadao i poslanik Muhamed. U Mekki, pleme Kurejš je bilo čuvar Kabe i dominantno pleme Mekke u vrijeme pojave islama. Kaba je, u to vrijeme, korištena kao važno pogansko svetište. To je uprihodovalo mnogo novca u Meku zbog mnoštva hodočasnika koje je privukla. Poslanik Muhamed je rođen u plemenu Benu Hašim klana Kurejšije.

Prema tradicionalnom islamskom pogledu, Kuran se počeo objavljivati kada se poslaniku Muhamedu ukazao melek (anđeo) Džebrail (Gabrijel) 610. godine. Povijest Kurana je počela kada su njegovi ajeti preneseni poslaniku Muhamedu, dok je uspon islama počeo preseljenjem muslimana u Medinu.

Mekansko pleme Kurejš i muslimanska zajednica u Medini su 628. godine potpisali primirje pod nazivom Ugovor iz Hudejbije započevši deset godina mira. Rat se vratio kada su Kurejšije i njihovi saveznici, pleme Bekr, napali pleme Khuza koji su bili muslimanski saveznici. Muslimani su osvojili Meku 630. godine, a poslanik Muhamed je umro u lipnju 632. godine. Bitka kod Jamama dogodila se u prosincu iste godine, između snaga prvog kalifa Ebu Bekra i Musailima.

8.6 / 10.0 - Airborne Kingdom
Airborne Kingdom is a uniquely wonderful dive into the city builder/ resource management genre. It's flying city design brings a new, fresh look at the genre. Though similar to many other games of the genre, Airborne Kingdom brings a fantastic style and story to the table.
9.8 / 10.0 - The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor
Return to Western Skyrim in the brand new chapter of The Elder Scrolls Online's year-long Dark Heart of Skyrim event - Greymoor. Players will work to uncover the reason behind the dreaded Harrowstorms, storms that turn innocent people into much less innocent Harrowed. The adventure is full of werewolves, witches, and vampires (oh my). Those ready to protect the world from these forces will have to delve into the wondrously mysterious Blackreach, a stunning underground city. Player's must ready themselves, this isn't the Skyrim they've come to know.
7.2 / 10.0 - Romancing SaGa 3
On November 11, 1995, the Super Famicom system saw the release of an epic turn-based RPG. 24 years later, to the day, Romancing SaGa 3, makes its debut to the West for the first time. The remaster brings improved graphics as well as some other functions to the current generation of consoles. The JRPG brings a wonderful world back to life for all to enjoy.
9.1 / 10.0 - The Elder Scrolls Online: Harrowstorm
Harrowstorm is the first DLC in the year-long Dark Heart of Skyrim event. Players must conquer two new, four-player dungeons - Icereach and Unhallowed Grave - and get pulled into the mystery that surrounds this year's event. The journey will not be easy, but if we've learned anything from last year's Season of the Dragon event, it is that it will all be worthwhile.
8.2 / 10.0 - Assassin's Creed: The Rebel Collection
Step back into the Animus and relive the wonder of being both an Assassin and a Templar in The Rebel Collection. Ubisoft brings players back into Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag and Assassin's Creed Rogue. The collection is a fantastic way to see two great games be brought to a current-generation console and to a new generation of players.
9.7 / 10.0 - The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr
The Elsweyr chapter expansion continues the year-long Season of the Dragon event for The Elder Scrolls Online. The developers have outdone themselves once more and somehow managed to make an already fantastic MMO all the more awesome. The expansion whisks players away to the homeland of the Khajiit. Players must face the dragon threat looming over Elsweyr, though you do not possess the power some players may be used to if they played Skyrim. You are not the Dragonborn, and these dragons are no laughing matter. Players may make use of the new class, the Necromancer, to aid themselves in the fight to save Elsewyr.
9.6 / 10.0 - Prodeus
Prodeus invokes a feeling of classic FPS games that any fan of the genre will enjoy. In a familiar setting, you get to fight back a horde of demonic entities. Simply put, Prodeus is devilishly delightful.
4.3 / 10.0 - JUMP FORCE
Jump Force, released in February to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Shonen Jump manga, brings together many recognizable anime characters. Though it is a good effort to commemorate 50 years of one of the most iconic manga magazines, its awkward control scheme, poor hub-world design, and subpar story leaves much to be desired.
8.3 / 10.0 - Riverbond
A delightful little dungeon crawler, Riverbond, is fun for everyone. The voxel styling paired with the abundance of skin choices makes for a wonderful visual experience. The drop-in/out multiplayer means the whole family can hop on the couch and play as much, or as little, as they want to help clear a board. In a medium full of ever-increasingly realistic graphics, Riverbond is a breath of fresh air with its colorful world and characters.
9.2 / 10.0 - The Elder Scrolls Online: Scalebreaker
Scalebreaker is a wonderful expansion to the Season of the Dragon event, as well as to The Elder Scrolls Online as a whole.


Could anyone let me know if there is a converter to put the vision on a pc screen onto a television? My TV is the older box style tv, not an HD ready TV. I would like the pc to work on a larger tv screen and I don't want to buy a larger monitor.
I have looked online and all i can find is converters for an HD ready tv.
I think you can use an S-Video cable. The type you may get with a Camera.
Your Graphics Card should have this connection and you TV also. I have quite a few cables lying around but the problem is, there always very short.


Please read the information and guidance below before commencing this process.
The online vetting form click on this link to open form here.
The GAA has a long established principle of vetting any person who, on our behalf, works with children or vulnerable adults in our Association. This principle is enshrined in rule through our Code of Best Practice in Youth Sport and has become part of the overall recruitment and selection process for those who wish to work with us in the GAA, in a voluntary or paid role.
Vetting services for the Association are currently overseen by the National Childrens Office in Croke Park while Comhairle Uladh acts on our behalf in coordinating AccessNI services.
Our international units adhere to the legislative vetting and police background checks that are required in the jurisdiction in which they operate.
The National Vetting Bureau (Children & Vulnerable Persons) Acts 2012 – 2016 commenced on 29th April 2016 and from that date a statutory obligation was placed upon the GAA to ensure that all persons who on our behalf undertook 'relevant work' with children has been vetted prior to taking up that role in Ireland.
The term 'relevant work' in the GAA includes any role of responsibility such as coaching, managing or training underage teams or indeed adult teams that contain any player under 18 yrs. of age. It also applies to organising underage activities or refereeing underage games.
The Act also established the National Vetting Bureau (NVB) to oversee the e-vetting services previously administered by the Garda Central Vetting Unit.
Who needs to be vetted?
In the GAA any person who carries out a role of responsibility such as coaching, managing or training underage teams or indeed adult teams that contain any player under 18 yrs. of age must be vetted. It also applies to organising underage activities or refereeing underage games. Thereafter, each club shall decide if other roles merit a person being vetted.
Any person who was working with children in the GAA prior to the commencement of the Act and was not previously vetted for that role may continue in that capacity but must apply as a matter of priority to be vetted by the GAA under what is termed 'retrospective vetting'. This term and these conditions are allowed for in the Act.
What if the applicant is under 18 yrs. of age?
Is it an offence if you are not vetted?
It is now a criminal offence, for a person acting on behalf of the GAA, or for the GAA as an Association to permit any person to commence working with children on behalf of the Association without that person first obtaining a vetting disclosure from the National Vetting Bureau in respect of the role for which they have been recruited. It is also a breach of GAA rule if you are working with children or vulnerable adults on behalf of the Association and have not been vetted.
When the Vetting Act came into being on 29 April 2016 the GAA became one of the first organisations to replace 'paper vetting' with a new on line or E –Vetting system.
E-Vetting replaces all previous paper vetting systems which also brings us in line with similar e-vetting services as coordinated by Ulster GAA for AccessNI.
How can you be vetted through the GAA?
You must in the first instance complete the GAA E-Vetting ID Form. This form compels you to provide proof of your identity to the Club Children's Officer, who must verify that they have received the ID verification as required. The ID verification may be retained by the Club Children's Officer for the duration of the e-vetting process or it may be attached by you at Step 2 to the On Line Vetting application Form.
Following completion of the initial process you will then be directed to www.gaa.ie where the GAA on-line E-Vetting Application Form is available to download.
Once you complete the GAA on-line E-Vetting Application Form the information provided is forwarded to the NVB by the GAA and you will receive an on-line NVB Vetting Form to complete.
The details entered will be emailed back to you, for your own records. Your Club Secretary will also receive an email informing him/her that you have applied as a member of the club, to be issued with the NVB Vetting Application Form.
The NVB will issue you with the NVB Vetting Application form. This will be issued to the email address you provided in Step 2.
Completing this form is a confidential matter between you and the NVB. All sections of the form including current and previous addresses, email address and contact telephone numbers, information on convictions and prosecutions (if any), plus other information will be required when completing the form.
Once all sections of the form have been answered this then completes your application process for E Vetting in the GAA and within a short period of time you shall be contacted by the GAA to informing you as to the outcome of the vetting application.
You and your Club Secretary will be notified when the vetting process has been completed.

Spectacular Christmas Lane display is a magical way to raise money for EACH
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in an aptly-named Lowestoft street.
Kind-hearted residents of Christmas Lane are showing their community spirit by joining forces to decorate and illuminate their houses in aid of East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH).
The co-ordinated display is akin to a storyline from a Hollywood movie and the plan is to host a big 'switch-on' in early December.
The lights will then be on from 4.15pm until around 10pm every night, spreading festive cheer and raising vital funds for EACH.
Denise Bretton, one of the residents, said: "We're very proud of our Christmas display.
"It's been happening for years and more and more people seem to come along every time.
"However, this is the first year we've raised money and when we floated the idea among residents, everyone was keen to support EACH.
"We all agreed we wanted to support a local charity and one that benefits children, especially at this magical time of year.
"It's a special cause and we want to raise as much as possible, by working together to make Christmas that little bit better and more bearable for children, young people and families being supported across East Anglia.
"We go to a lot of effort and spend a lot of money, but it's all worth it if people enjoy our display and give generously, knowing what they donate makes a difference."
Denise admits herself and others get "carried away" with their displays, which feature thousands of twinkling lights and everything from stars and bells to snowmen and Santas.
Fourteen households participate and it takes hours for the displays to be completed.
"We love it and are proud to be part of such a close, traditional and phenomenal community," she said.
"We coordinate the first switch-on and then every house on the road puts their lights on and off at the same time.
"We're always buying new additions and although we can get a bit competitive and carried away, it's all with a sense of fun and a desire to create something special.
"We want to make this time of year as amazing and magical as possible and, in these strange times, every bit of cheer makes things that little more bearable for us all.
"We've produced some laminated posters which will be put up before the switch-on and left out during Christmas and afterwards, giving people the chance to donate to EACH."
Laura Southcott, EACH Fundraising Assistant for Norfolk, said: "This sounds so special and it's an extremely kind gesture from the people of Christmas Lane.
"We hope people enjoy the illuminations while knowing the money they donate will help us provide care and support for children and young people with life-threatening conditions, and their families, right across Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex."
EACH has three hospices, including The Nook at Framingham Earl, just outside Norwich, and The Treehouse, in Ipswich.
To make a donation, head here.
"Without EACH I really don't believe we would have made it this far together as a family. They make a really hard time just that little easier to deal with."
