Obama, represents a curse that is over a our country, a mark and a sign of the favor of God waning, or that something will happen. This Obama, and with Oprah, the two “O’s” , this is an “O” for Omen, for a sign. The curse.  

The wild fires in California are direct hits, on the people and the Woman, who paid for Obama to become president. Oprah’s own home, now under threat by the wild fire at nearly hurricane force fire winds. Obama is of mixed racial and religious background, and represents nothing of “new” change, but only a change into the more extreme versions of liberal socialist and marxist thought in society. 

Obama, is not a symbol of God’s grace on our country but a “getting of what we deserve, what we wanted” 

God is gracious in the respect that He does honor our free will, but when we get what we want, is it everything we were hoping for , or does it mean our demise..

Obama of humanist and secular, if no New Age beliefs, is clearing bent on an agenda of making this a marxist style society. He is the Mark of God’s disapproval of our choices. This is false hope, this is deception, this is bigbrother, this is 1984, this is the last days.

How does Obama mirror the movie, “The Omen”?, Do you think that Obama mirrors “The Omen”?

1. When was he born? 1961 2. Was his father a diplomat? Well, no, but he did serve as an economist in Kenya’s Treasury department. 3. His parents both passed away before his rise to power. 4. His good friend, Tony Rezko, the man to raise the first 15 mil for Obama’s campaign will be awarded by spending 15 years to life in prison, for improperly raising campaign contributions for democratic candidates. He will be sentenced after the election. In the Omen, the ones who helped him were not given great treasures for helping him. Instead they were punished. 5. He has a prominant mark on the top back part of his head. This was shown in the 2nd debate. It resembles a pentagram, which is a sign of the beast.  On November 4th, he will become the most powerful man in the world. By using only his great charisma, many will blindly follow after him.  He will make many promises, and by his boasting, will deceive the masses. His people (the world media) will hide his evil deeds, and will magnify him without ceasing. He will not stop at taking over the country. He will not stop at taking over the world.  I hope we all have a wonderful next 4 years….

We know how the communication on the internet is changing. In the past few years there have been a massive evolution in the Web 2.0 portal with the innovation of Twitter and such, where people are talking less but communicating more. Also when Facebook and MySpace have pretty much owned the social networking avenues, bloggers aren’t sitting back either.

Feminine beauty and their appeal are always fresh, tender and lovable. They need special attention when it comes to their wear. Cheerleaders, who represent a different group of females, are no exception. Even their requirements of Athletes are much more different than usual fashion requirements of general women.

They need to look beautiful in whatever they wear, but at the same time they need to focus on their work and performances so, their uniforms and cheerleading accessories should be comfortable along with style sense. Because, for cheerleaders, not only dress is important but also the shoe accessories, hair care products and supporting jewelry are of same importance.

However, when cheerleaders think of shopping for themselves they find very less stores with unique facility of providing everything at one store. Even shopping online was not an easier option because, very few online stores for cheerleading and cheerleader focus on all clothing and accessories requirements of cheerleaders.

In that scenario, AthenasAttic.com introduces itself as a relief by serving all clothing and other important requirements of a cheerleader at one place. With a constant vision to providing all quality products specially designed and made for cheerleading AthenasAttic.com is ready to serve the Cheerleading community.

I can remember the exact moment we considered our new approach. Considering the web as a new way to broadcast, that is.  Being euphoric about Adobe’s first Flashvideo possibilities, we sort of felt the “momentum”.  5 or 6 years later sending movies to a global audience has become part of everyone’s daily life. Watching video on YouTube is definitely the big trigger. At MultiMediaMakers, we are still euphoric about the changes it has brought to our initial job : creating reports as a television journalist. From a tv maker, we have become a multi-media-maker and up until today this is partly the reason why we’re so happy about our own brand name. 

The second reason for joy is that corporate video,  web video and the use of video as a marketing tool are here to stay.  As a professional, you’re bound to discover new developments in your inbox, on your social media accounts,  every single morning at breakfast time. It keeps you awake. 

So what’s next ? Well, telling the world we’re creating online video channels now. Giving companies a unique chance to broadcast their content to a global audience of searching viewers.  To find out more, visit our own web tv program for marketing professionals :  TheChannelmakers.com.

It’s my birthday today, and as my present to myself, I’m going to allow myself to change out of my cheerleader uniform and be blunt. Yes, more blunt than usual.

So, yeah. MEV previews are about to start, and we’ve gotten semi-official confirmation that X-Statix will be returning, as evidenced by the handful of X-Statix cards in the uncut proof sheet TBS leaked to us.

I think it’s fairly widely-known that I’m a pretty huge X-Statix fan, both in the comics and in our game. So, you’d think I’d be pretty excited right now– the team that defied all odds to be included in VS at all (in its first year, no less!) is making a comeback! I can finally stop proxying Hulk as my “Modern X-Statix” and just play ACTUAL Modern X-Statix!

You’d expect me to be excited, but oddly enough, I’m… not. It’s weird. I love me some X-Statix, but what excitement I’ve been able to conjure up seems to be overshadowed by something else: confusion. Having the team show up the first time was a major curve-ball– nobody expected it to happen, so it was almost like a prank UDE played on us. And hey, they got a cool-as-all-get-out theme to go along with their weirdness, being VS’ very first Loner team.

Their first feature was neat, but I’m having trouble figuring out why they’re being refeatured. Let’s look at some facts.

• X-Statix as a comic was more of a “cult classic” than a bestseller. Thus, it probably doesn’t have much marketing draw.

It’s no secret that VS isn’t doing well. Personally, I’m in the camp that says that continuing to sell out sets will save the game– I refuse to believe that our year of gangbuster sales haven’t helped us.

That said, I accept that the only way we have a future is if we CONTINUE our pattern, and keep selling out every set. It seems to me, then, that UDE should be focusing its efforts on printing new cards that are marketable. It’s already pretty bad that they’re using that incredibly lame shot of Cable Mama as the box art (seriously… what the hell were they thinking?), and featuring low-profile niche teams isn’t helping.

Basically, I worry for the game. I know we’re on a tenuous branch; I firmly believe that we can help our fate by acting with our wallets, but that strategy depends on UDE making a super-marketable product like they did with the last three sets. Making the diehard fans happy is great, but at this point I’m objective enough to say that it needs to take a back seat to making marketable sets. I’d happily give up my beloved X-Statix for YET ANOTHER GODDAMN X-MEN FEATURE if it helped the set sell.

• X-Statix as a team affiliation is probably one of the least popular teams the game’s ever seen, duking it out with the Manhunters for that bottom slot. People who didn’t read the comics don’t “get” the characters, and a lot of people just don’t enjoy their passive gameplay style.

The X-Statix are fun, but are they going to make anybody buy the set? I suppose it’s possible… I think most old-timers have warmed up to the X-Statix a bit over the years, so they’re now seen as kitschy and quaint. But have they warmed up enough to actually make anyone spend more on the set to track down the Statix cards?

Let’s face it, there are about three voices in the community who have requested this refeature. I really don’t think there are very many players left with strong nostalgia for the team.

Now, with that said… there’s a benefit to teams being printed, regardless of whether they get played or not. Basically, it adds color to the game’s landscape. Nobody’s ever going to take NextWave to a tournament, but the mere fact of their existence makes the game more entertaining and diverse. If one player a year shows up with NextWave at your hobby league, that’s enough for them to make a footprint in your mind and highlight a corner of the game world. Let’s face it– the game is usually dominated by three to five teams at a time, so the existence of these marginal teams can be a breath of fresh air after the dank cellar of tournament metas.

I’m not sure if that made sense… but, yeah. I think that even people who will never play the new X-Statix might still enjoy them simply existing and popping up every once in a while. It’s what adds spice to the game.

• There are a grand total of two characters who appeared in the X-Statix comics who didn’t get cards.

Kind of an odd complaint… just about everything that could be done with the X-Statix IP has been done. There are only two more characters who popped up in the comics who could be justified in getting the affiliation: spunky owner Spike Freeman, and a dual-affiliated Wolverine. That’s it. Other than those two, every single speaking-role member of BOTH incarnations of the team has gotten cards, so you kind of have to expect that they’re not going to cover any new ground IP-wise.

I know that sounds like a weird complaint–”GRRR! How dare they only feature my favourite characters instead of filling the team with nobodies!”– but it goes back to the last point. It’s important that the game feel new and fresh, so when a team gets refeatured, they generally get handed a few characters that have never gotten cards before. New faces help the team look new and exciting.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m looking forward to seeing my old friends come back… I just wish there was more room to expand them. I just feel like there’s only SO MUCH mor exciting they can get when the roster’s 100% refeatures… yaknow?

• I’m not sure how much further the loner theme can be taken.

Let’s face it… teams can be refeatured and have their old themes dropped entirely. We’ve seen it before (MXM brotherhood, for example), and we need to expect it every time a refeature is announced. But, there are some things you really can’t change. You can’t take away the Injustice Gang’s hand flood theme, because that was absolutely their signature theme. It’s two-sided: they did it better than anybody else, and they did it to the exclusion of everybody else, because it’s a theme nobody else would want to touch. It’s their theme, pure and simple.

Same thing with the X-Statix. The exact nature of their lonering will certainly follow a different track than before, but I just worry that we’re running out of things to do with that theme. Hellfire, X-Statix, and Hellboy all play essentially the same, and Hulk is just the same with ATK pumps instead of DEF ones. They all have the same “controlly feel”, and I don’t feel like there’s much of a change when I switch from one to another.

However.

Alright, so I’ve bitched for 1100 words. I’ve looked the gift horse straight in the mouth and called its teeth into question… but I’m done now. I actually feel better now. Writing all that down really has taken a weight off my shoulders; I’ve said my piece, and now I can move on to just being excited again.

All of what I’ve just written are my worries, but paradoxically, I’m not that worried by them. These are the things I think can go wrong if the developers are stupid, but I think we can be pretty sure after the awe-inspiring MUN set that they’re anything but stupid. I have faith in them after that masterpiece, and I’m positive they’ve foreseen and solved every one of these issues.

I’m positive that the set will leverage its higher-profile elements (like the Cyclops, Deadpool, and Gambit legends) to drive sales; I’m positive they’ve treated X-Statix like the quirky sideline it was always supposed to be; and I’m positive they’ll make the roster seem fresh even with little variation in the faces.

I have faith in the S and the Z. I won’t say they’ve never let us down, but I can at least say they haven’t let us down recently. They’ve done their best for us and given us the best sets in the game’s history, and I believe in them enough to know that MEV will rock hard and sell well.

And finally.

I was going to add this item to the list of concerns above, but unlike the other worries I had, the solution to this one popped into my head less than ten seconds after the problem did.

• Given the trend toward merging teams and the fact that the X-Statix team wasn’t mentioned on Ben’s preview draft roster, we can reasonably expect X-Statix to be rolled into the X-Force team.

This really bugged me at first. I thought to myself that I’d almost rather not have a refeature at all, than have then refeatured without the respect I feel they deserve. They NEED to be their own team, damnit!

But then it occurred to me… holy crap.

X-FORCE NUMBER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN.

Never read it? Here’s a synopsis: the “new” X-Force is having a press conference, and it gets crashed by the “Old” X-Force– Domino, Cannonball, Boom-Boom, and Warpath show up, and they’re pissed at having their name coopted by a bunch of rock stars. What ensues is a huge brawl between the two teams for the right to use the name.

Of course, it’s all staged. The managers of the “new” team just wanted the publicity that only a fierce rivalry can provide, and so this internecine squabbling was entirely to the team’s benefit, unbeknownst to its members.

So, yeah. Go ahead, UDE: Stick the new and old members on the same team. Make them fight it out over who’s the best choice at each drop.

And then print this.

And a few of these.

Go on, do it. Reward my faith in you. Show me you’re as brilliantly insane as I know you are.

Rock my world, UDE.

The N-Gage is a mobile telephone and handheld game system based on the Nokia Series 60 platform. It started selling on October 7, 2003.[citation needed] It attempted to lure gamers away from the Game Boy Advance by including cellphone functionality. This was unsuccessful, partly because the buttons, designed for a phone, were not well-suited for gaming and when used as a phone the original N-Gage was described as resembling a “taco”.

In 2005, Nokia announced that it would move its N-Gage games capabilities onto a series of smartphones. These devices have been available since early 2007, and a pre-release version of the N-Gage application allowing users to purchase and download games was made available for download from the official N-Gage website on February 4, 2008. Full version of the N-Gage service was released to the public on April 3, 2008.

History

In the late 1990s, gamers increasingly carried both mobile phones and handheld game consoles. Nokia spotted an opportunity to combine these devices into one unit. They developed the N-Gage, a device that integrated these two devices. Instead of using cables, multiplayer gaming was accomplished with Bluetooth or the Internet (via the N-Gage Arena service).

The N-Gage also included MP3 and Real Audio/Video playback and PDA-like features into the system.

With a launch price of US $299,the N-Gage was not as commercially popular as Nokia estimated. In its first weeks of availability in the United States, it was outsold by the Game Boy Advance 100 to 1. Within 17 days of the deck’s release, popular retailers GameStop and Electronics Boutique began offering $100 rebates on the deck’s price.

The poor sales performance can be attributed to the poor selection of games compared to its competitors and its cost at launch; it was more than twice as expensive as a Game Boy Advance SP on release day. Poor sales were also amplified by game media being standard MMC memory cards and as with most consoles piracy did become an issue.

Besides its gaming capabilities, the N-Gage was a Series 60 smartphone, running Symbian OS 6.1, with features similar to those of the Nokia 3650 (it does not have an integrated camera, however). It was able to run all Series 60 software, and Java MIDP applications as well. Its main CPU was an ARM Integrated (ARMI) compatible chip (ARM4T architecture) running at 104 MHz, the same as the Nokia 7650 and 3650 phones.

As of August 2007, it was estimated that Nokia had shipped more than two million N-Gage game decks.

The “N-Gage” brand name still had a poor reputation within the gaming media and the few consumers who recognized the N-Gage brand, due to the weakness of the system’s first games and the original model’s limitations. Many gamers were unaware of the later QD redesign and still consider the N-Gage as a joke. The situation has not improved either with the arrival of the PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS handhelds. As of September 2005, Nokia had more than 50 games available for the system.

While the N-Gage didn’t have any significant financial successes, it did have a handful of critical successes. Pocket Kingdom: Own the World received a handful of glowing reviews when it was released, and Pathway to Glory was Nokia’s first self-published success. These games came perhaps too late to have much effect in improving the perception of the N-Gage hardware itself in the eyes of consumers or press.

In January 2005, UK sales-tracking firm ChartTrack dropped the N-Gage from its regular ELSPA chart, commenting that “The N-Gage chart, though still produced, is of little interest to anyone. Sales of the machine and its software have failed to make any impact on the market at all.” Although only directly reflective of the UK market, this was interpreted by some as a serious blow to the N-Gage as a viable gaming platform. Despite this, Nokia reaffirmed their commitment to the N-Gage as a platform, to the point where a new version of the hardware was rumored after GDC 2005.

February 2005 saw Nokia appoint Gerard Wiener, formerly of Sega Europe, to the post of Director and General Manager for Games at Nokia. Wiener steered Nokia away from looking at the N-Gage as primarily being a games console to “this is a mobile phone that is great for playing games on.” This strategy, along with targeting niche franchises such as the table-top Warhammer 40,000 series, the Rifts RPG series, and the Settlers of Catan board game, has kept sales of the N-Gage healthy and earned the platform a modicum of respect from some quarters of the media. It should be noted that this change coincided with the initial releases of the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS.

The last game to be released in the US for the system was Civilization on March 2006 according to Metacritic.com. In November 2006 Nokia released its last game for the N-Gage QD - combat racer Payload.

The system continues to be sold in the Chinese and Indian markets.

Sales

There is some disagreement in sources about the actual number of N-Gage decks sold. Nokia initially claimed 400,000 sales in the first two weeks the deck was available. However, independent market research firms Chart-Track and Arcadia Research claimed that the N-Gage had sold only 5,000 decks in the United States in that time, and 800 decks in the UK. Critics suggested Nokia was counting the number of decks shipped to retailers, not the number actually purchased by consumers.

Nokia later admitted this was the truth. in 2004, Nokia claimed in a press release that it had shipped its millionth deck, represented as a company milestone despite falling short of the company’s initial projection of six million decks by the end of 2004. However, this number shipped doesn’t give a reliable picture of the actual sales of the deck. Nokia ultimately shipped 2 million N-Gage decks by 2007.

In all cases, sales of the N-Gage and N-Gage QD have been counted together.

Nokia N-Gage Classic

The N-Gage browsing Wikipedia using the Opera web browser

The original phone’s taco-shaped design was considered clumsy: to insert a game, users had to remove the phone’s plastic cover and remove the battery compartment as the game slot was next to it. Another clumsy feature was the speaker and microphone being located on the side edge of the phone. This often resulted in many to describe it as if one was talking into a “taco phone” or “Sidetalking”, or simply that they had one very large ear, because the user held the edge of the phone against the cheek in order to talk into it.

The comfort factor of lengthy calls was also called into question. Despite the criticism, it is thought that the speakers were there for a practical reason: if placed elsewhere, the screen would get in contact with the cheek and become smudged. However, almost all other cell phones have the screen against the cheek when the user is talking. Despite the questionable practicality, gamers were still unwilling to talk in such an awkward manner.

When considered from a video game point of view, the N-Gage was known for its unusual screen orientation, a vertical one as opposed to a horizontal one (which is more popular with other handhelds). The reason for this was that the underlying operating system, Series 60, did not support horizontal orientations at that time (only supported since S60v3 ). Some felt this to be a negative feature, feeling that ‘unconventional’ does not necessarily mean improvement. Possibly due to this screen feature, as well as the public’s luke-warm reception to the device, the game library was far from extensive.

From a cell phone standpoint, the N-Gage also faced problems. Besides the unusual form factor, in the US it was initially sold primarily through specialty game outlets instead of through cell phone providers, which only called attention to its high pre-subsidy price, lack of games, and curious interface compared to other gaming devices (thanks to the Series 60 interface and unusual face button layout). Once cellphone retail outlets started carrying the phone, which didn’t become a widespread practice in the US until well after the release of the N-Gage QD, it still faced problems. The N-Gage and its successor, the N-Gage QD, worked only on GSM networks, meaning that it was incompatible with the then-largest US cell service provider, Verizon Wireless, as well as all of Japan’s cell networks.

Where N-Gage was compatible with major cell phone networks its popularity varied. It was not well received in Canada and the UK for instance but received a much warmer reception in mainland Europe and in particular Asia where games on mobile phones were seen as much more desirable.

The original N-Gage, though, still had many benefits to developers and end-users. It had a large amount of executable RAM memory compared to Series 60 devices (the 66xx series); it had MP3 decoding in a dedicated hardware chip as Nokia 3300 (other Series 60 devices, including the N-Gage QD, rely on software decoding); it had stereo output from a mini headphone jack plug; and it could be mounted as a USB Mass Storage device on any compatible computer without requiring the Nokia PC Connect software.

Nokia N-Gage QD

The N-Gage QD (QD stands for quaque die, meaning every day in Latin) was Nokia’s successor to the N-Gage and was released six months after the first N-Gage, replacing it in 2004. It revised the device’s physical design, being smaller and rounder. It corrected the flaw of the cartridge slot with a more convenient one on the bottom of the device. This design also moved the earpiece to the face of the device, rather than on the side, as in the previous model.

Despite the revision, many were quick to criticize the unit, just as they did the original N-Gage. Some noted that the rubber fitting side that closed the gap between the device top and bottom casing could be easily loosened over a few months if it were dropped regularly, although this was hardly a recommended practice in taking care of the unit. Once the rubber piece was removed, the device became more vulnerable to water or particles entering the internals unless the fitting was replaced. The fitting was available at Nokia’s service centers, and was also available in a variety of colors through various third-party sellers via online electronics suppliers or eBay.

The device retailed at a lower price, further aided by the fact that it was generally sold with a pre-paid cell phone service contract and the corresponding subsidy. In the United States, the N-Gage QD was available as a prepaid phone offered by Cingular for $99.99 at retail games stores such as Electronics Boutique and GameStop.

This is no longer the case as the device has reached the end of its lifespan and the above mentioned stores have discontinued carrying the QD.

Some of the ‘bulky’ features of the system such as MP3 playback, FM radio reception, and USB connectivity were removed from the device, presumably to cut size and cost. The QD did not support MP3 internally; however, it could still play MP3s with third-party software, albeit only in 16 kHz mono.

Instead of using the N-Gage with generic USB removable drive drivers, a user would use either Bluetooth or a separate MMC card reader to transfer files onto the device memory or an MMC card for use in the N-Gage QD.

Another change from the original unit was the “Orange-and-grey” theme of the face of the unit as well as the GUI. Some felt this was an unwanted change from the ‘more colorful’ GUI of the original N-Gage. Even then there were some third-party applications that enhanced the interface or replaced the system shell.

As for the telephone portion, it no longer supported the three GSM frequency bands 900/1800/1900; instead it came in two dualband variants, one for the American market and one for the European and Asian markets.

The rest of the N-Gage QD hardware specifications were otherwise the same as the original N-Gage; same vertical screen layout, button configuration, etc.

Hardware specifications: Weight: 143 g, dimensions: 118 x 68 x 22 mm.

Nokia N-Gage QD Silver Edition

Announced in August 2005, the N-Gage QD Silver Edition could be seen as an exercise in extending the life of the N-Gage product range while new N-Gage devices were developed and the N-Gage gaming range was integrated into the mainstream Series 60 product range. Apart from cosmetic changes and the replacement of the two specialist gaming buttons (5 and 7) with standard keys, there was no difference in the N-Gage QD Silver Edition to the regular N-Gage QD.

It was made available in the European, Middle Eastern, and African markets on September 1, 2005.

The Nokia 9000 Communicator was the first in Nokia’s Communicator series, introduced in 1996. The phone was huge and heavy (397 g) in comparison with its modern equivalent the Nokia E90. The Communicator part is driven by an Intel 24 MHz 386 CPU.[citation needed] It has 8 MB of memory, which is divided between applications (4 MB), program memory (2 MB) and user data (2 MB). The operating system is GEOS 3.0.

In popular culture

The Nokia 9000i Communicator was used by Val Kilmer when he played Simon Templar in the 1997 remake of The Saint.[citation needed]

Nokia 7700

The Nokia 7700 was a mobile phone produced by Nokia, announced in 2003 but never released.

It was expected to be the first multimedia smartphone from Nokia, and the first smartphone to use the Series 90 GUI on Symbian OS.

Compatible with GSM/HSCSD/GPRS/EDGE 900/1800/1900 MHz networks, the 7700 featured a wide, touch-screen colour LCD with a resolution of 640 x 320 pixels and supporting 65,000 colors. It had 64 MB of internal memory and a MultiMedia Card (MMC) slot. It also included an integrated VGA camera with a maximum resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, an integrated FM radio, Bluetooth, USB and Nokia’s proprietary Pop-Port interface for connectivity purposes.

The 7700 was to include a comprehensive application suite (such as a complete PIM suite, ‘full’ Internet browser, e-mail client and an office suite comprising Word Processor, Spread-Sheet and a PowerPoint viewer) and supported Java MIDP 2.0 applications. It was also to be the first phone to support Visual Radio, and the first Nokia phone to support DVB-H mobile television with the addition of the Nokia Streamer SU-6 accessory.

The Nokia 7700 was cancelled in mid-2004. Several theories for the cancellation were put forward at the time: Nokia was refocusing on ‘normal’ phones due to decreasing market share; the phone would be too late to market; and the phone was unattractive and bulky. It also featured ’sidetalking’ like the N-Gage, a feature that had attracted a great deal of negative publicity.

The Nokia 7710 followed later with increased memory, a different design, no ’sidetalking’ and other improvements. However, the 7700 was nevertheless used for further trials of DVB-H

Nokia 7710

The Nokia 7710 is a mobile phone produced by Nokia.

The 7710 is based on the Nokia 7700 which was never released. It is Nokia’s first, and so far only, smartphone to run the Series 90 GUI atop the Symbian OS.

Compatible with GSM/HSCSD/GPRS/EDGE 900/1800/1900 MHz networks, the 7710 features a wide, touch-screen colour LCD with a resolution of 640 x 320 pixels and 16-bit colour depth, which also boasts a special power save mode activating only 640 x 64 pixels of the display. It has 90 MB of internal memory supported by a 128 MB MultiMedia Card (MMC). The external memory can be upgraded up to 2GB.

Featuring an integrated Megapixel camera with a maximum resolution of 1152 x 864 pixels and 2x digital zoom, the 7710 also has an integrated FM radio, as well as Bluetooth, USB and Nokia’s proprietary Pop-Port interface for connectivity purposes.

Offering a broad range of software, the 7710 includes much of the application suite to be found in the Series 80-based Nokia 9300 and 9500 communicators, such as a complete PIM suite; an XHTML compatible Internet browser with Flash 6.0 Support; e-mail client supporting SMTP, POP3 and IMAP4; an office suite comprising Word Processor, Spread-Sheet and a PowerPoint viewer; timed profiles; SIP VoIP support and more. In addition, the 7710 also supports Java MIDP 2.0 applications.

Moreover, the Nokia 7710 also offers multiple-format video recording courtesy of its integrated digital camera, supporting QCIF resolution at 17 FPS in MPEG4, H.263 and Real Video 8 formats - for which the device also supports full-screen playback at 15 FPS. Additionally, a music player supports MP3, AAC, RealAudio 7 and 8, WAV, MIDI and AMR formats, whilst picture viewing is also in place with support for JPEG, GIF, WBMP, BMP, MBM and PNG formats.

Major fail this week, as I did not update everyday as planned, but instead faked it by making a load of posts today and backdating (my secret’s out.  and the best part is: it isn’t even a good one)

But there’s a reason, I’ve been working all week at a  post-production house called Evolutions.  Evolutions is one of the biggest companies in Soho, with five locations, and I have taken a temporary placement there as a runner.  For those of you who don’t know, a runner in a post-house (and I believe on a film set) is the guy who does everything you don’t want to do: making tea and toast for clients, ordering and picking up lunch orders, moving decks in-house and also location to location, running tapes and ther items wherever they need to go.  Its not as bad as it sounds, though.  It gives you an opportunity to meet people, see how things work and all that.  Its a stepping stone job that everyone has to do, so its cool to be doing it at a big company where there’s always lots to do.

The other runners are pretty cool and all the editors have been real nice to me, and I am hoping this turns into a more permanent placement.  Now I am technically “freelancing” through a recruitment agency called Yellowcat, a tiny but awesome company.

So I did my week contract, and they’ve asked me for two more, which is quite good considering if they didn’t like me very much they could have just sent me on my way.  Its really good, and nice to be employed, even if it ends up being temporary!

The Nokia 5510 is a type of 2G mobile phone released in 2001. Aside from its music playing abilities (detailed below), many aspects of the phone are similar or identical to its predecessor, the Nokia 3310. It has a 64 megabyte memory for storing .lse audio files. The Nokia 5510 features a full QWERTY keyboard and an 84 x 48 monochrome display. Its successor is the Nokia 3300.

Features

The 5510 shared many of the features of the Nokia 3310, such as a built-in calculator, stopwatch and a reminder function. It also includes the same 5 games that came with the Nokia 3310: Snake II, Space Impact, Bumper, Bantumi, and Pairs II. However, the 5510 also had the ability to play digital music files transferred onto its 64MB internal flash memory via USB (encoded in either MP3 or AAC format); as well as being able to receive FM radio.

Design

The 5510 is unusual compared to most mobile phones, as it has a has an almost complete QWERTY keyboard, rather than the conventional telephone keypad. This keyboard is divided on the left and right sides of the front panel, with the 84 x 48 monochrome display at the center, and the navigational buttons below it (the display and navigational buttons are almost identical to those found on the 3310). Despite (or, perhaps, because of) the full keyboard, the 5510 lacks the predictive text ability that other phones in its family (such as the 3310) had. Also, 4 black buttons are located on the side of the phone to allow quick access to the music player, FM radio, and the volume controls.

Music

The 5510 can play both MP3 and AAC music files once they are converted and transferred by the Nokia PC suite, as well as record audio directly from its internal FM radio, or through its built-in 2.5 mm (3/32″)audio jack. Any songs recorded by the phone are encoded in the same format used with music transferred to the phone. The music player on the phone also has a built-in equalizer with several pre-sets to fine-tune the music being played.

The Nokia 7650 is a smartphone belonging to the fashion and experimental (7xxx) series. The phone was released on the second quarter of 2002 for around €600. It was notable for a number of firsts: first Nokia smartphone with the Symbian OS (version 6.1); first Series 60 platform device; first Nokia with built-in camera. The handset’s release was promoted in conjunction with the film Minority Report.

The Nokia 7650 has a 32-bit RISC CPU, based on ARM-9 series, a 104 Mhz CPU clock, 4 MB of non-expandable main memory (RAM) (3.6 MB available to the user) and 16 MB ROM. As the phone was released in the GSM 900/1800 dual band version only, it was not released in the U.S. market (where the only available bands are the GSM 850 band and the GSM 1900 band).

So if you were wondering what I would have looked like during the process of evolution, but it was interrupted before the final stage, then I present:

I’ve found my self-inflicted humor of the day—thanks to the theory of evolution.

After a while, usually about an hour (for dreamcast- three hours for gamecube) after the Chao has first been hatched from its egg, it will evolve. When your Chao first evolves, it will turn into a cocoon, and transform into either a Hero Chao, a Dark Chao, or a Neutral Chao. These Chao types have different looks and personalities.

When you first create a Hero or Dark Chao, either the Hero or Dark Garden will open each containing one new Chao egg.

Neutral Chao

A Basic Neutral Chao is light blue with yellow markings and has a round ball floating above its head.

There are two ways of making a Neutral Chao. You can treat your Chao very nice with a Hero Characters (Sonic, Knuckles or Tails) and Dark Characters (Shadow, Rouge or Dr. Eggman) equally. Pet/hug it so that it stays a light blue color before evolution.

You could also treat your Chao very badly with Hero and Dark Characters equally. Attack and throw it with both types so it stays a light blue color (But I don’t really recommend this…).

Hero Chao

A Basic Hero Chao is white with light blue Markings and has a halo floating above its head as its Chao ball.

You can make a Hero Chao by treating it very nicely with a Hero Character until it turns completely white, and its Chao ball turns blue before its first evolution.

Another method is to treat the Chao really badly with a Dark Character until the Chao is white and its Chao ball is blue. (Again not the usual method).

A last method is to keep feeding the Chao some Hero Fruit. However this could take long and generally the best method of getting a Hero Chao is to be nice to it with a Hero Character.

Dark Chao

A Basic Dark Chao is black with red markings, and has a spiked ball floating above its head instead of a regular Chao ball.

Making a Dark Chao is the opposite to making a Hero Chao. Treat the Chao very nicely with a dark character until it is completely black and has red markings, or treat it very badly with hero characters (first approach recommended).

Again you can also feed it lots of Dark Fruit. But the best method is just to treat it nice with dark characters.

Once your Chao is has evolved into a Hero/Dark/Neutral Chao, it cannot change into a different one until (if) it reincarnates, then you can start again.

しばらくすると、 24時間約1時間（ドリームキャスト- 3つの時間をゲーム）した後、チャオは、最初の卵から孵化したが、それは進化します。チャオときに最初に進化して、それは繭になる、と変換さのいずれかを英雄チャオ、チャオ暗いか、または中立的なチャオです。これらのチャオの種類の外観と性格が異なる。

最初のヒーローを作成するときや暗いチャオ、またはダークヒーローのいずれかを含む各1つの庭が開きます新しいチャオの卵です。

中立的なチャオ

基本的な中立的なチャオは、ライトブルーと黄色のマーキングと丸いボールには、その頭の上フローティングです。

には、 2つの方法に、中立的なチャオです。治療することができます。チャオ非常にニースでの英雄にして文字（ソニック、指関節やしっぽ）と暗い文字（シャドウ、ルージュやドクターエッグマン）に等しくします。ペット/抱擁に滞在するようにして進化する前にライトブルーの色です。

チャオすることもできますして非常にひどい扱いを英雄と同様に暗い文字です。両方の種類の攻撃と投げることが滞在するので、ライトブルー色（しかし、私は本当に推奨この…).

英雄チャオ

チャオの基本的なヒーローは、白とライトブルーマーキングとその頭の上には、ハローフローティングとしてチャオボールです。

チャオすることができます。ヒーローを作ることは大変上手に処理されるまでの英雄に文字が完全に白、青とそのチャオボールをターンする前に、最初の進化です。

別の方法を治療するのは本当にひどいとチャオダーク文字までのチャオチャオは白とそのボールは青色です。 （再びは、通常のメソッド）です。

最後の方法はいくつかのヒーローを保つ栄養補給のチャオ果物です。しかしこれは時間がかかると、通常の最善の方法を取得するの英雄チャオはニースしているとされる文字の英雄です。

暗いチャオ

基本的な暗いチャオは黒と赤マーキングし、フローティングボールをスパイクには、その頭の上ではなく、定期的にチャオボールです。

メーカーの反対側には、暗いチャオチャオメーカーの英雄です。治療のチャオ非常にきれいになるまでは完全に暗い文字が黒と赤マーキングか、または扱うことに非常に嫌なヒーロー文字（最初のアプローチを推奨します） 。

再びすることもできます。フィードダークフルーツたくさんのことです。しかし、それを治療する最善の方法はニースに暗い文字です。

チャオは一度は進化をしてヒーロー/ダーク/中立的なチャオ、それを別の1つ変更することはできませんまで（もし） reincarnates 、再度入力し、起動することができます。

过了一段时间，通常约一个小时（在Dreamcast -三个小时GameCube游戏机）后，超首先被孵化从卵，它将演变。当您的超第一演变，它会变成茧，并转化为一种英雄超，深超，或一个中立的超。这些超类型有不同的长相和性格。

当您第一次创建一个英雄或黑暗的超中，无论是英雄还是黑暗的花园将开放各载有一个新的超蛋。

中立的超

一个基本的中性超是浅蓝色黄色标记，并有一个全面的浮动球以上，其头部。

有两种方法，使一个中性的超。您可以处理您的超很好的一个英雄人物（声波，关节或尾巴）和黑暗的字符（影子，胭脂或博士eggman ）同样。宠物/拥抱，使其保持一个浅蓝色的色彩之前的演变。

您也可以处理您的超非常糟糕，与英雄和黑暗的字符同样。攻击和扔，它与两种类型，所以停留一个浅蓝色的颜色（但我真的不推荐本…).

英雄超

一个基本的英雄超是白色与淡蓝色标记，并已光环浮动以上，其头部作为其超球。

你可以作出的英雄超治疗，它非常漂亮，与英雄性格，直到它完全变成白色，其超球会变成蓝色前，其第一次演变。

另一种方法是处理超真的急切与一个黑暗的性格，直到超是白色和其超球是蓝色。 （又不是一般的方法） 。

最后的方法就是保持饲超一些英雄水果。不过，这可以采取长期和普遍的最佳方法，获得英雄超是不错的，它与英雄品格。

黑暗的超

一个基本的黑暗超是黑色与红色标记，并有攀升的浮动球以上，其头部而不是一个经常超球。

使一个黑暗的超却正好相反，使英雄超。对待超非常好，与一个黑暗的性格，直到它完全是黑色，并有红色标记，或把它非常糟糕，与英雄人物（第一种方法推荐） 。

再次，您也可以饲料，它大量的深色水果。但最好的方法是仅仅把它尼斯与黑暗的字符。

一旦您的超是已演变成英雄/暗/中性超，却不能转变成不同的一，直到（如果）它reincarnates ，那么你可以重新开始。

Dün set ile ilgili verdiğimiz resimlerde Pinehearst ile ilk kez karşılaşmıştık. Lonelyhero ve ben (Jessicaniki)
oturduk ”Pinehearst” adlı şirketle ilgili biraz araştırma yaptık.  Her ”Heroes” şirketi gibi bunada bir website yapılır dedik ve aradık. Sonunda sitesini bulduk. Sadece siteyi bulmaklada kalmadık. Belki Primatech Paper‘ın websitesindeki gibi burdada gizli dosyalar vardır diye umduk ve dahada araştırdık ve sitenin gizli girişini bulduk.( Aslında Lonelyhero buldu:) )
Şifreyide Heroes-tv.com adresinden aldık.
Lonelyhero’ya çevirisi için teşekkür ediyorum. Yazıda çok emeği geçti. Yazının devamında resimli bir anlatım bulabilirsiniz.

Site‘ye girdiğinizde üst seçeneklerden ”Careers”e tıklayın.

Açılan sayfada bir form gözünüze çarpacak. Fakat gizli giriş orası değil. Sayfanın sağ alt köşesine gidin. Mouse’la gereken yere geldiğinizde bir DNA logosu ile karşılaşacaksınız.’Ben tembelim, beni uğraştırma.’ diyorsanız buradan‘da gideceğimiz sayfaya ulaşabilirsiniz.

Şimdi sizden bir erişim numarası istiyor. Giriş yapmak için kullanacağımız erişim numarası ”19225688423”

Sonunda dosyalara ulaştık. Dosyalar bizi pek tatmin etmedi. Umarız zamanla bu dosyaların içeriğini genişletirler. Dosyaların içini açtığımızda birkaç ses dosyası ve ‘Exec_Team’ isimli bir word belgesiyle karşılaşıyoruz. ”Exec” kelimesi ”Executive” kelimesinin kısaltmasıdır. Yani dosyamızın adı ”Yönetici Ekibi”.

Lonelyhero bu dosyanın içeriğini bizim için çevirdi.

“Ekip:
NSA temin grubuna muazzam çaba ile yaptığınız sunum için ne kadar gururlu ve minnettar olduğumu bilmenizi isterim. Sahip olduğumuz üstün teknoloji ve yürütme kuvveti - Ama tüm satışlar hakkında karşı taraftan etkin olarak mükemmel mesajlar aldık. Bu da iyi bi sunumla başladı. - ve ben hepinizin bu iş için ne kadar zor çalıştığını biliyorum. Faydalı olduğunuzu ortaya çıkarmaktan, çabalarımızı haber vermekten çok mutluyum.
NSA’nin 2 numaralı sistem temincisi Deb Bohrman’dan telefon aldık.Bize NSA kapsamındaki vaatleri üzerine kara bütçelerindeki 500 BioTrak BioEmitters için 1998 takviminde tekrar arama yapıcaklar.
Bu bizim için ileriye büyük bi adım oldu. Globalleşmekle NSA her seferinde daha da önemli olacak ve biz bu yolda büyümenin her adımında bir parça olacağız. Onların yayılması, yol alması ve bioteknolojik ihtiyaçları için çok çalışmaya devam edeceğiz.
Lütfen bu öğlen 16.00′da kutlama için odama gelin.
İyi iş
Jeff”

Das zweite Set der Rebellenpiloten aus der Evolutions Reihe ist für den Non EU Fan weniger interessant.

Cesis Eiriss

Twililek im Pilotenkostüm. Ich kann die Verwendung klassischer Charaktere in Jedi oder Pilotenkostümen einfach nicht ausstehen. Cesis kommt aus irgendeinem X-Wing Comic und macht einen ganz guten Eindruck. Es wurde sogar ein größerer Helm für den Charakter gebastelt, welcher jedoch für mein Verständnis viel zu schmuddelig aussieht.
Der Body der Figur ist identisch mit der von Dorovio aus dem ersten Set….

Kesin Ommis

Der Pilot aus Empire Strikes Back ist kurz im Hangar auf Hoth zu sehen. Leider sieht er den Darsteller nur bedingt ähnlich (Bart). Die Figur basiert auf Wes Janson aus dem vorangegangen Set. Da Kesin im Film nicht mit Helm zu sehen war, hat man sich einfach an einem billigen Abklatsch eines Luke ähnlichen Exemplars begnügt.

Keyan Farlander

Keyan Farlander ist ein EU Charakter, jedoch hätte der B-Wing Pilot auch in Rotj gepasst.
Solange Hasbro keinen besseren Piloten herausbringt kommt er ausnahmsweise in meinen „EU Freie Zone“. Die Figur ist gut gemacht. Basieren tut der Kerl auf den Mold von Ten Numb. Wenn man etwas Isolierband um das Kugelgelenk des Kopfes wickelt. kann man den Kopf vom Numb drauf setzen. und spart sich einen eventuellen Repaint des vorangegangenen Charakters. Leider wurde ein weiterer Versorgungsschlauch als Zubehör „vergessen“

Durchde

Die beliebte Evolution Serie wird nun in der 2008 - The Legacy Collection - Linie fortgesetzt.
Enthalten sind drei völlig neu gestaltete Rebellen Piloten.
Allerdings wird mir der Sinn diese Figuren in der Evo Serie raus zubringen nicht ganz schlüssig, da hier keine eigentliche „Weiterentwicklung“ im vorangegangenen Sinne stattgefunden hat…..

Mit Dorovio Bold bekommen wir die erste weibliche X-Wing Pilotin. Die Szene mit ihr im X-Wing ist leider aus Rotj geschnitten , wenn man jedoch genau aufpasst ist in der Briefing Szene eine weibliche Pilotin zu sehen. Ich denke das dürfte unsere Dorovio sein.

An der Figur gibt es eigentlich nichts auszusetzen. Gelenke sind an allen wichtigen Stellen vorhanden und so angebracht das sie nicht störend wirken. Anbei kommt ein Blaster inklusive Holster.
Einzigstes Manko der Figur ist der Helm welcher nur sehr schwer wieder abgenommen werden kann….

Wes Janson , Snowspeeder Copilot aus Empire Strikes Back.

Hätten er nicht diese breite Beinstellung könnte ich von einem perfekten Mold sprechen.
Nun erhält der Hoth Pilot die richtigen Stiefel welche bei den bisherigen Piloten leider falsch wahren. Zwar sieht das dämliche Grinsen von Wes etwas bescheuert aus , so kann die Kopfbedeckung des leider viel zu straff sitzenden Helm überzeugen. Blaster ist natürlich mit am Start und über die zahlreichen Gelenke, welche alle Evo Piloten bekommen haben, braucht man wohl nichts mehr sagen …..

Kopfschüttel*, Hasbro bekommt es einfach nicht auf die Reihe eine akkuraten Ten Numb zu produzieren!

Der Mold des B-Wing Piloten aus Return of the Jedi ist Klasse keine Frage, jedoch kommt er nun schon zum dritten Mal in der falschen Farbgebung. Hasbro hält sich lieber an alte Traidingcards auf dem Numb bei einem Pre-Shot zu sehen ist als an die Filmvorlage!

Beigepackt ist ein Blaster, Helm und zwei Versorgungsschläuche.
Leider ist einer derer etwas zu kurz und lässt sich nicht am Schritt entlang führen…

And then, things cooled off.  Matter coalesced into suns and planets.  And then was there a nearby supernova.  Squeezing the clouds of dust.  The squeezing made the clouds of dust coalesce, and gravity pulled the clouds together.  The clouds began to spin as it began to collapse.  Eventually, this cloud grew heavier and denser in the center as it began to collapse, and also did it grow hotter.  Matter did begin to clump together.  And the clumps eventually began to form planets or moons.  Only rocky matter could stand the heat near the center of the clumping and so planets like the Earth formed.  The center eventually became so hot, that it formed a star, the sun.  The sun blew most of the stellar gas and dust of the solar system with a strong stellar wind.  And so it was, that by studying meteorites that the truly intelligent beings on Earth did discover that the solar system was 4.6 billion years old.  By the facts of the rocks, they turned over generations of delusion, and finally found the truth.  (1)  And thus, the tale continues in Part IV.

(1). Solar System Formation

Die beliebte Evolution Serie wird in der 2008 - The Legacy Collection - Linie fortgesetzt.
Enthalten sind beim Padme Set drei völlig neue Figuren.
Padme wird aus allen drei Filmen der Prequels dargestellt und macht als Figur einen sehr guten Eindruck.

Aus The Phantom Menace erhalten wir Padme im Königlichem Gewand. Die Bemalung ist ausreichend und sauber gesetzt. Ihr Gewand hat einen netten Perlmutt Effekt.

Gelenke oberhalb der Figur :
Vielleicht hätte Hasbro hier etwas weniger Beweglichkeit ins Spiel bringen können.
Sehr schnell können die Gelenke das Gesamtbild stören.
Bei dieser Figur z.B sind es die Armbeugen wenn der Arm gestreckt wird.. Auch die Kugelgelenke an den Schultern kommen hier nicht gut. Wer allerdings Padme als Libelle sehen möchte kann mal die Figur mit angehobenen Armen aufstellen
Der Unterleib ist in etwa der einer Schachfigur, was die Beweglichkeit angeht.
Neutral positioniert macht die Figur jedoch einen hervorragenden Eindruck.

Die zweite Figur aus dem Set ist Padme als Senatorin aus Attack of the Clones

An dieser Figur können von mir wenn überhaupt nur die auffälligen Gelenke an den Knien kritisiert werden. Wenn man allerdings die Gelenke zur Seite dreht und am Fußgelenk die Schuhe wieder nach vorne hat sich auch dieses Problem erledigt.
Die Figur ist voll beweglich und sehr detailliert umgesetzt. Auch das Gesicht kommt der Darstellerin sehr nahe. Der Beigepackte Blaster passt natürlich ins Holster. Die Stofftunika liegt gut am Körper.
Als besonderes Gimmick ist eine Kunststoffkapuze beigepackt. Keine schlechte Idee da oft Kopfbedeckungen schlecht anliegen.

Mein persönlicher Wunsch währe zusätzlich ein auswechselbares Bauchstück um Padme wie in der Arena Sequenz mit zerfetzten Oberteil darzustellen.

Als letzte Figur gibt’s Padme als Mother of Heroes aus Revenge of the Sith

Nette Figur . Gute Umsetzung des Gesichtes. Perlmutteffekt an der Bemalung des Kleides und größtenteils steifes Auftreten , ähnlich der ersten Figur des Sets.
Die Gelenke an den Armen sind überflüssig und stören den Gesamteindruck.
Als Bonus gibt es das weiße Kleid welches Padme bei der Geburt der Zwillinge trägt.
