Phobos dungeons are filled with rebels due the failure in the battle of Meridian. The creeping insects crawls forward as only food source. When a guard patrols the hallway Aldran shouts his men needs food. False laughing the guard stretches a bag of food, just out of reach of the trapped prisoners. Clanging to the steel frames of the cage, the rebels stretches for the food, pushing themselves forward. Another guard disgusts playful act, the fact the prisoners may die would not comply with Phobos.

Hold on, so Caleb thoughts must be, as he wades the castle’s moat. Aside him struggles Blunk, until he’s force to climb Caleb up the shoulder. Concerned about his health Blunk questions why he had to come along. A moment later he wished he never learned and jumps onto a vain. While bungling there a giant serpent emerges from the waters, opening his jaws to devour his meat. Caleb glances from his shoulder and breaks the hatch which seals the entrance of the prison chambers.

A year ago it was informed Comcast sabotages the network by delivering false reset packets into the connection stream, which made bittorrent impossible to occur. At 31 June 2008 Elektronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) published a tool to diagnose the network, to detect this behavior yourselves. Informing Federal Communications Commissie (FCC) would be to weak to find it theirselves. This tool is called Switzerland because of the principles of Switzerland and is free to use.

The tool is ’still’ a command line, thus is expected only more advanced users will use the program for now. The source is public, thus a interface made be released by a third party a day.

At any case, the FCC did not handed over a fine to Comcast, but in they need to take some measurements, which take happily take on. This closes the case around Comcast sabotaging the network. (Comcast, for those who are unfamiliar, is a huge internet provider in the United States of America)

Dutch W.I.T.C.H. Drops

Last month, June 2008, W.I.T.C.H. 62 is the last Dutch W.I.T.C.H. Magazine. It’s a pity but was being expected. Since almost two years ago they canceled the subscription and after another half year passed, they degraded the quality of the papers. They really tried to pull it off, but there was no chance living in it. On the bright side, you can now purchase up to the 80-86s series in English, from example Toymanila an Ebay Store.

In Juni 2008, W.I.T.C.H. 62 is de laatste Nederlands vertaling van W.I.T.C.H.. Jammer, was te verwachten na de bezuinigingen op de abbonement, bijna 2 jaar nu. Na een half jaar hebben ze de mooie glossy papieren ingevelerd en nu uiteindelijk vervalt het hele tijdschrift. Ze hebben hun best gedaan, maar het had geen succes. Gelukkig vinden we W.I.T.C.H. nog piek fijn terug in het Engels, bijvoorbeeld op Toymanila een Ebay winkel.

Source Netherlands, since it’s a dutch translated magazine we speak off.

Finally Bloom is searching for her powers and meets the mysterious nimph. It seems she has rescued her and she might be able to help Bloom. So while Bloom is fighting for her true powers her friends in Alfea, the school, Cloud Tower and Red Fountain are preparing the battle for the army of decay.

Proud the three evil witches reign chaos upon the three schools. Would they manage to hold out until Bloom arrives? Would Bloom be able to deal with the witches and the army of decay? Lucky the finds out, beat the master is beating the army of decay… but will they succeed.

Yes, I finally are able to get in the back-end. Using the pretty-urls was killing the password directories of mine. Lucky I small fix made the day. See the Toon District.

Reinforce Zwei

The blessing wind

Anime series: Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A’s and
Anime series: Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS
Released: May 08, 2008
Height: 190mm (without base)
Publisher: Alter
Sculpted: Tsumezuka Hiroyuki
Scale: Non-Scaled ( hehe so cool )
Buy at: Archonia, Play-asia
Other reviews: Happy-Soda, lololol, foobarbaz

My second shoot, following both tutorials of HappySoda (light and blocking light) and followed up the tips from Shino, who I think is from the lololol blog, I shot better pictures than last time. We’ll start with a little side-story about Reinforce Une.

Reinforce is a device from the tome of the night sky. Yagami Hayate, the mistress obtained her in season 2. However due certain events Reinforce Zwei (Deutsch for two) is now the new tome device.

Reinforce Zwei, does look like a chibi version of the earlier Reinforce. She made an appearance in the later season 3 (StrikerS) and we finally we see her into action as she takes on the full drive. Later on you get to know Reinforce is an unison device. Ok, I won’t spoil it, so I better stop informing about the series. At any case a screenshot of Reinforce Zwei, from StrikerS is below so we are able to compare it with the pvc version of Alter.

I’ve had it with the spam. Bang! Closing down a bunch of comment forms, sorry people. Hopeful the OST of Laputa will make you out of crying. Also if you were looking for a torrent, try the Boxtorrents Laputa torrent. It took ‘us’ a while to discuss which was the best version, so… Buy at Play.com I’ve bought mine at a local store.. So don’t have an url of that. You can try the store urls in the blog roll too.

No updates? Yup, I rarely have sparetime due my work, forgive me. Though, I’m able to announce I’m writing an article about “Zero no Tsukaima”. The same reason and setup as I have written the “Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Season 1-3” article. An huge and factfull article thus.

Next I have found some good plugins such as comment editing and comment luv which I want to add to the blog. Hopefully the spam will stop when I put up a new filter.

At last some savings made their way to a webstore Archonia (interesest especially Benelux countries) and vanished into the thin air. However I ‘found’ myself new PVC’s and the ‘new’ books of Battle Angel Alita. Well, not all too shabby for you guys, but I needed to mention and explain I’m still alive.

Sorry for the misspelling blogging, I really have no time or intend to clean up right now. So, again, never ever learn English from this blog. English is NOT my native language, you should have notice by now …

at first Hirvine has intership, so updates will dramatically posted. Okay, now, The Pirate Bay. We have briefly informed you about Sweden’s law, which was accepted at 18 June 2008, to monitor all comminucation. Which means network data but not limited to phonecalls, fax, mails and letters.

My dear friend ‘Joeppie’, JO3P at the forum, knew The Pirate Bay would response. As an offensive the pirate bay brieves people about encryption. SSL, a secure socket layer, will make sure the data won’t be able to monitor. This is a network data solution. People having phonecalls, fax, mails and letters … guys, protest! (I only have a dutch source, sorry lack of time didn’t gave me too many choice). Please use (eg.) google news for more info.

Phobo’s guards marches through the city looking for Caleb and Aldran. The rebel leader and his rebels, they pressure the villagers to find the rebels hide-out. To push them the soldiers takes out their water supplies. Using a giant trident which is seeming to shoot lighting is thrown into the abyss of the wells. There it adsorbs all water and the mud dries up. Ending in an huge crack the well dries up. Outnumbered and unarmed the villagers aren’t able to resist and witness.es their dome. First their food was stolen. now their water supplies.

Caleb knows this pressure cannot be taken lightly. The villagers needs the water the survive and supply their farms. It’s just a matter of time people start talking. On the other side of the universum Hay Lin wakes up. Soaked in sweat. She was Elyon, beautiful like a princess in fairy tales, climbing a throne. Phobos had pointed her to sit down and when she did, all her energy was drained which made her so weak she was even unable to lift her arm. So she tells the next day at lunch. The friends had listened quietly but doesn’t see in how this nightmare will affect their missions.
