Spin It Lucky

Throughout the history of computer/video games, gamers have had a compulsion to tweak both software and hardware for fun and/or for monetary gain. Be it simple POKE tweaks on microcomputers such as the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum to allow you infinite “lives” on games back in the 1980s, to DSi flashcarts enabling you to run a wider range of apps on their Nintendo DSi.

Software makers and system developers have had an uncertain relationship with the hacking and soldering crowd. In one way, modders/hackers add extra value to the systems and games – for instance modchips give great convenience to games players who can play backups on their consoles. Likewise, games hacking breathe new life into very challenging games, and these days it’s normal for games producers to actually secretly plant “easter egg” cheats for games players to discover.

But to balance that out, games developers state that this type of chip modification damages their revenue, as chipmods can also be applied to circumvent measures to try and prevent illegal copying, and bypassing hardware that fixes cartridges to work only in particular countries. These are compelling grounds for console and games producers to forever develop new steps to make chipmods more difficult to carry out.

But no matter how compelling the arguments are against modifying chips, chipmodding is a huge market that isn’t going to disappear anytime soon.

Lima,

City with the Stretched out Wings

It’s an ink-black night: no stars: a moon in sight

Just dots of: red, green and whitewhite lights

As the plane descends, descends, slides down
On the long-drawn-outspun-out lingering city of lights
Uneven as a crumbled cake, lit up like a Christmas tree

The sleepless city, with its stretched out wings

Stretching from the mountains to the sea
Winding through the valley’s, forests, and streams
Stretches, stretches its naked wingsendlessly

As,

I’m descending, down, over and around the city
(descending, descending, and sliding to the ground)

The city with stretched out wingsand endless lights
Down, behind, around, the ground, it’s immune to me
I’m just part of its evening, a baptism in its inky sea

Invisible people: cats, dogs, birds, and ratsinfinite

Uncountable: dots; streams of lit dots, dot-lights;
People: walking, talking, sleeping, eating by the dots
People: waiting, killing, robbing, praying, by the dots

For tomorrow, tomorrow and another tomorrow

They say:

you are ruthless, and I know this to be true

And they tell me you have thieves and murders

And this, I dare saybut shallis also true, very true
But show me a city to the contrary of eight-million?
I shake my fist and say: ‘…show me! But no one does’

So alive, so brave, with strong and hungry hearts;

I say, show me one that sings in poverty and smiles
Prove me one that celebrates year-round of its heroes
Show me painters that are as goodthat sell on streets

As good as: Picasso, Dali, Rembrandt, and Yang Yang

And that welcomes the world with stretched out arms

Show me all this, or some of this, and I will say no more

With this,

I descend to its streets, its crowed winding streets

As well as, to its neighborhoods with dust and soiled air,
And hear the laughs of the children; the dogs on roofs
Sights of the shoe-shiners: men and boys, in the parks

And the numerous food carts; — musicians, paper sellers

And with its naked featherless wings, covering all

My Lima, Peru with its renowned Cathedral:

Golden yellow with towering crowns, and

Within its plaza-square, a water fountaincelebrated.

Under its sins, with its wrinkled aged men, lovely women,

They all stand tall and bow to its Inca history, its glory
Its world that once ruled all, like the Roman Empire,

Like the American Dream, they were the noble, the kings

And now, from drudgery and toil, sweat and strive, all, all Grinding, grinding away, each and everyday, lover of the, King of Kings: Jesus Christthis is the Lima I know today; a mighty ship that has already sailed the seven seas, now resting!…

Spanish Version

Lima,
La ciudad con las alas extendidas
Translated by Rosa Pealoza

Esta es una noche oscura: no estrellas, ni luna a la vista

Solo puntos: rojo, verde y blanco-luces blancas

Mientras que el avin desciende, desciende, bajando
A la larga-extendida-plana persistente ciudad de luces
Plana como un panqueque, encendida como un rbol de navidad

La despierta ciudad, con sus alas extendidas

Extendidas desde las montaas hacia el océano
Zigzagueante a través de los valles, bosques y riachuelos
Estirando, estirando sus alas desnudas-interminables

Mientras,

Voy descendiendo, abajo, por encima y alrededor de la ciudad
(Descendiendo, descendiendo, y deslizndose a la tierra)

La ciudad con las alas extendidasy luces interminables
Abajo, Abajo, detrs, alrededor, la tierra, es inmune a m
Slo soy parte de esta noche, un bautizado en su oscuro océano

Invisible: gente, gatos, perros, pjaros, y ratas, infinidad

Incontables: puntos, riachuelos de luz, puntos de luz;
Gente: caminando, conversando, durmiendo, comiendo bajo los puntos de luz
Gente: esperando, matando, robando, rezando bajo los puntos de luz

Por maana, maana y otro maana

Ellos dicen–:

Tu eres implacable, y yo se que esto es verdad

Y ellos me dicen t tienes ladrones, y muertes

Y esto, me atrevo a decir, que esto también es cierto, muy cierto

Pero muéstrame una ciudad de ocho millones contraria –?
Sacudo mis puos y digo: “…muéstrame,” pero nadie lo hace

Tan viva, tan valerosa, con corazones fuertes y hambrientos:

Digo, muéstrame una que canta en pobreza, y sonre
Pruébame una como esa, que celebra alrededor del ao a sus héroes
Muéstrame pintores tan buenosque venden en las calles

Tan buenos como: Picasso, Dali, Rembrant y Yang Yang

Y que recibe al mundo con extendidos brazos

Muéstrame todo esto, o algo de esto, y no diré mas

Con esto,

Desciendo a sus calles, atiborrada, zigzagueantes calles

As como su raro vecindario con polvo en el aire
Y oigo la risa de los nios, los perros en los techos
Vista de los lustrabotas, hombres y muchachos, en los parques

Y los numerosos carros de comida, msicos y vendedores de peridicos

Y con su desnuda y desplumadas alas, cubriendo todo

Mi Lima, Per, con su renombrada catedral:

Amarilla dorada con su coronadas torres, y

Dentro de su plaza cuadrada, una celebrada pileta

Bajo su piel, con sus arrugados ancianos, tiernas mujeres,

Todos ellos parados altos, y reverenciando a su historia inca, su
gloria
Su mundo que una vez gobern todo, como el Imperio Romano

Como el sueo de América, ellos fueron los nobles, los reyes

Y ahora de pesadez, y esfuerzo, sudor, lucha, todos, todos extenuados, fatigados, este y cada da, amantes del
Rey de los Reyes: Jesucristoesta es la Lima que conozco, hoy; un poderoso barco que ya naveg los siete mares, ahora descansando…

In our culture today, it seems that the less body hair you have, the more attractive you are considered. Over time, people have tried many things in an attempt to remove their unwanted body hair, with little regard to pain and expense it seems. Shaving that can leave you with cuts and rashes, bleaching that can cause skin irritation, tweezing that can be painful and tedious, waxing that is very painful, and using depilatories that melt away hair (and sometimes skin) are some of the methods people have employed in the fight against body hair. Most everyone that desires to rid himself or herself of unattractive or embarrassing body hair would favor a way to do so that will take away the hair forever. Unfortunately, that only comes with electrolysis, which is highly expensive and requires many treatments. That is why laser hair removal has been growing in popularity. It promises quick removal of hair from the root, and pledges that the hair will grow back at a very slow rate. If you are considering the procedure of laser hair removal, it is smart to learn about the procedure, and that you find a reputable and practitioner that knows how to properly use the laser hair removal machine that will be used to carry out the procedure on you.

Laser hair removal works when a technician or physician uses a hand-held machine to push and light beams through the device into the hair follicles. This light is aimed at the dark pigment in your hair, and causes damage to the hair follicles without damaging the surrounding tissue. The procedure is somewhat painful, despite many claims by some laser hair removal professionals to the contrary. Most clinics will make available several pain reduction techniques, including skin cooling with gels, sprays, water mist, or air.

There are a great many plusses to laser hair removal. The most important one is the long-term removal of unwanted hair, or it’s permanent reduction in appearance, which can diminish embarrassment. Any regrowth of hair often comes in lighter in color and finer in texture. If performed correctly by a technician or physician that knows how to operate a laser hair removal machine, the procedure is considered safe. If you have a large area on your body with a great deal of hair, such as your back, chest, or legs, laser hair removal will work best for you. Fair-skinned people with darker body hair usually get the best results with this procedure.

With the plusses, there are, of course, the minuses. There is very little long-term medical evidence to suggest laser hair removal’s safety or effectiveness. Since every body is different, it is difficult to establish concrete regrowth scales. Laser hair removal tends to not work as effectively on gray, red, or blonde hairs, and it must be performed very carefully on people with darker skin tones or who tan themselves regularly. Having laser hair removal can result in burns, abrasions, or skin discoloration. And since some people don’t respond to it at all, the decision to have it done should be carefully made.

There are many establishments out there who perform laser hair removal that make claims that the procedure is painless, that the hair removal is completely permanent, and that there will be absolutely no hair regrowth. There are currently FDA regulations in place that prohibit anyone to make these claims. But, because there is no real legal regulation of who can purchase laser hair removal machines, for training on the use of them, or quality control standards, there is a great risk for physical injury if you take a chance with someone who is not a licensed physician, or a highly reputable laser hair removal technician. By making laser hair removal machines more widely available by not restricting those who can purchase them, it might make it more affordable, but it also increases the risks to those who choose to undergo the procedure. It is not worth the risks just to save money by going to someone who might not have the expertise to use the laser hair removal machine.

Choosing a person to do your laser hair removal should be a long and well thought out process. Take heed to choose a physician or clinic that will give you a free in-office consultation. Ask as many questions as possible, including questions regarding the laser hair removal machine, pain relief, costs and fees, and post-procedure treatment. Observe the office and equipment to see that they are clean. Talk to former customers, and ask them questions about the clinic or physician’s manner and service. Ask to get a test patch done before you make any commitments, and do not make a commitment to have the procedure done at the consultation meeting. Think carefully about it. By taking time to make your choice, you will get the best price and the best experience, and have the best possible outcome with your laser hair removal.

It also streamlines the process of managing employee performance and assists you in setting precise targets for your staff greatly. All in all, the potential of this system is endless and depends solely on your own creativity and ability to use what you learn…

The Telecoms Package, which provides for more freedom of unsupervised internet usage, has been accepted by the European Union. The vote on the bill was conducted wherein members of the European parliament showed their favour for the bill in an overwhelming majority.

The telecom laws in force at present will be hugely impacted by the revisions proposed by the package. In the UK, this will have significant impact even as the broadband industry is undergoing some major upheavals. On one side, the government is going forth with its super speed broadband programme, and on the other, the uncertain political climate is making investors hesitate to pump in more funds into the sector.

The anti-piracy law that has already faced a huge number of protests is also likely to be greatly affected by the Telecom Package. This is because the package views internet freedom as a fundamental right, while the anti-piracy law has drawn flak for the invasion of privacy its monitoring methods will entail.

The provision under this law for the disconnection of user accounts of persistent offenders has been its most disliked feature so far, with protestors calling it a disproportionately excessive punishment. The EU acceptance of the Telecom Package by 510 votes to 40, proposing high levels internet freedom, also seems to lend the protest its support. However, critics have their own doubts about the efficacy of the package as a compromise tool.

In addition, the Telecoms Package calls for coordinating mobile broadband across the EU and also outlines proposals which will lend impetus to the high speed broadband plan. The digital divide will be reduced by making broadband more easily available across providers and by making it less expensive so that even middle-income groups can have satisfactory broadband connection.

Depending on your budget you can choose between glass or polycarbonate for the lenses. These are typically the most affordable frames and some do feel more comfortable with them.

Semi-rimless frames are commonly used to create an upmarket aesthetic. Having a frame covering just the top or bottom, they are a wonderful alternative for anyone with narrow cheekbones. Combine the comfort and ease found in rimless spectacles with the security of full frames. They are also very chic and notable on the right person.
