Sid Meier's Pirates! is an exciting high-seas adventure that allows junior buccaneers to helm one of 27 fully customisable ships as they descend upon unsuspecting ports of call to amass a motley crew of seafaring bandits. Captains must collect hidden treasure maps, undertake daring missions and courageous rescues, and swiftly hand out pirate-style justice to local braggarts before hearing the wild call of the ocean and setting sail for mind-blowing open sea engagements unlike any other game before on the Wii.
- The classic adventure by renowned creator Sid Meier, re-imagined for the Wii
- Build a fleet: take the helm of 27 ships and enhance their ability to deal out high-seas destruction by upgrading to an assortment of powerful ammo, mighty cannons, and other valuable nautical advancements. You can also change the look of your pirate and his dastardly vessel through the multitude of Wii-exclusive customisation options.
- Use the Wii Remote to parry, counter and effectively out duel your opponents into submission with lightning quick moves onboard ships, in taverns, and even in the exclusive Governor's mansion.
- Using the new, Wii-specific mini-games, plunder enemy ports after you bombard them into obedient submission or escape challenging predicaments with your trusty lock-picking set and sail off into the highseas to resume your adventure.
- Increase your riches and steal the heart of the Governor's beautiful daughter to earn gifts and valuable information that you will need on your journey.
- Make your own story: Challenge and pursue the most infamous pirates in history, including Blackbeard, Captain Kidd, and Henry Morgan. If you piece together fragmented scraps of map, you can even discover their hidden treasure. Play classic Sid Meier's Pirates! mini-games plus two new all new Wii-exclusive mini-games.

Live the life!
Raid the Caribbean as a 17th - century pirate captain in this epic, open-ended seafaring adventure. Face countless dogged enemies, woo fair maidens and raise the Jolly Roger on the original Sid Meier's Pirates!, this all-new story features a richly detailed world and hours of outstanding gameplay.
"Finally, technology has reached the point where I can reimagine the world of Pirates! the way I've always wanted"
-Sid Meier
Contributed by Stillman (7622) on Feb 09, 2005.
Newcomers that haven't played Pirates! before can also buy this game without worries. Sid Meier and his crew have managed to update one of the major classics of gaming so that it is now a worthy example of the fact that good gameplay never goes out of fashion. 9/10 Boomtown
Simple to learn, elegant (and fun!) game mechanics, open-ended play, great stylized graphics. There's something to be said for superb execution of a straightforward design. Pirates! has that kind of polish. You'll have fun with it from the moment you finish installation. 4.5/5 Gamespy
But just like the original Pirates!, many gamers will find themselves returning again and again. Sid Meier's Pirates! won't appeal to everyone, but if you're nostalgic for the original or like unstructured and open-ended games, this booty is well worth seeking. Yarrr! 8/10 Gamesdomain
There are a lot of great games for the PC this year, particularly for fans of shooters and strategy games. Don't let those distract you from also trying Pirates!. It may not be as technically innovative as titles like Half-Life 2 or Rome: Total War but the combination of ideas and experiences it contains easily make it one of the most original games of the year. It may not depart much from the original game but, truthfully, it simply doesn't need to. Pirates! is unlike any other game in the current PC catalog. Unless you hate fun, you'll love it. 9.2/10 IGNPC.com
While some may find the game to be slightly tedious for its somewhat repetitive nature - quite frankly, neither of us seemed to either notice, nor care - we were too busy just having fun playing out our respective games (I managed to complete two full games before my [ahem] "better half" absconded with my game disks and manuals - currently - she's working toward the end of her third complete game). Obviously, this game does have a good "re-playability" factor to it, and even more obviously - this game is pure pleasure in the playing. 95% RPGdot.com

Kasper Schmeichel has given a host of updates on his return to full fitness after he posted a series of videos of himself in the gym after undergoing surgery.
The Leicester City goalkeeper had a hernia operation last Monday, but was back in the gym on Wednesday as he bids to be fit in time to face Liverpool this Saturday.
Liverpool welcome the Premier League champions to Anfield in their first home game of the new season with the Foxes hoping to put together their first back-to-back wins of the campaign.
Schmeichel was an integral part of the title-winning squad last season and it will be a relief to many Foxes supporters to see the 29-year-old already back in the gym, although he was hoping to feature for Denmark against Armenia on Sunday night.
The goalkeeper did not make the cut, but is now in line to be in the squad that will travel to Merseyside for the early evening kick-off this weekend.
As well as going through some core and running drills, Schmeichel also had the ball back in his hands ahead of the clash with the Reds.

Description: Callist is an Android app that works alongside your default phone application and makes managing your phone calls much easier. You're probably thinking that in today's age of SMS, WhatsApp and Snapchat nobody calls anybody anymore. Well, when it comes to family life and business life, a phone call can be more important than a simple text message. Callist hopes to make all of this easier by providing call reminders, quick and easy actions just after a call such as adding them to your contacts and more. Callist doesn't try to replace your default dialer and isn't an intrusive application. What it does try to do however, is make sure you never let someone down when you miss their call and it also makes remembering colleagues' or friends' numbers much easier. Read on to find out how good an app Callist really is.
How it Works: First off, you'll need to go and download the app from the Play Store, after that you're treated to a quick tour around the app to see what it can offer you.
Essentially, Callist offers a feature set that makes it easier for you to remember who to call and when, easier to manage numbers and easier to do actions such as sending a message or more.
The main aspect of Callist is this featureful popup that appears after a call, it's not that obtrusive and it can be a big help when you miss a call from someone.
You can set a reminder, send a message or more. Sending a message is pretty nice as it's a change of pace from the "must send right away" from the main Android app. It gives you time to choose from a list and you can quickly compose your own message.
Simple touches like that are further augmented with the call reminder feature, that allows you to pen in a slot for a business contact or even to call your other half back.
Of course, you also get a recent call list, with an easy shortcut to send a text message.
For those that like to add functionality to their homescreens, there are some included widgets with Callist, which are as functional as they are good-looking. Once you've set your favorites in the app you can quickly call them from the widget.
Opinion: As someone who very much enjoys the look and feel of stock Android, it's nice to see that Callist not only looks like part of stock Android but doesn't try to replace the stock dialer. Which means that no matter what device you have, Callist just sits beside your default phone app, which takes out the confusion that's so often associated with these sorts of apps. While the UI fits in great with stock Android, there's absolutely no reason it wouldn't look great running on your HTC One or Galaxy S4. For business users, and those with a busy family life, Callist makes a lot of things easier and when you're just too busy to call back but, you know you have to return their call you can be reminded later when it suits you.
- Speed (4/5) – Callist doesn't get in the way of anything and runs both smoothly and quickly.
- Features (4/5) – By adding just enough extra features, Callist presents itself as a nifty little app that can genuinely make things a little less stressful if you're busy.
- Theme (4/5) – With a classy and minimal look, Callist will look great on a Nexus, as well as an HTC One.
- Overall (4/5) – A solid effort that doesn't try to do too much, Callist is a must-have for those that still need to talk ear-to-ear and are a little too busy to think straight at times.
- Doesn't try to take over your Android device – it just adds a little extra on top.
- Easy to setup with a nice guided tour after installing it.
- Good-looking interface that looks good and is easy to use.
- Call reminder is a nice feature for those with lots of friends or just not enough time on their hands.
- Can get a little confusing between what's your own phone app and what's callist.
- Those that don't really talk on the phone that much might not find all that much need for such an app.
Conclusion: Callist is a nice add-on for your Android phone, it doesn't try to replace anything, it just adds a little more. Which is the right attitude to have when it comes to system apps like these. The call reminder feature is great for those that don't have a time in the day to get back to everyone and being able to send a text message or add a number to your contacts after you've gotten off of the phone are real nice touches. It's all put together in an easy-to-use, attractive package that carries a light footprint. If you feel like you have too many calls to return and too little time, then this is a must-have app.

Riversong has a little of everything. There is romance, crime, intrigue, literary drama and a little suspense to keep the pages turning. The characters are real – people you might find in ordinary life when faced with the same sets of circumstances.
This felt like a newer, more contemporary Rosamund Pilcher book — all-American, not British. But it's that same sense of a whole world opening up for me to read and enjoy. I loved the characters, the love story, the heartache, the real dramatic tension and the blessing of a good ending. Such a good read. I am pacing myself to read the rest of Tess Thompson's novels — one per month — so I don't run out too fast. Can't wait to read more.
This is a story to read when you want a solid dose of good-overcoming-evil, a romantic tale with a protective hero and a thoroughly hissable villain, or when you just want to be surrounded by a group of people who, though fictional, manage to surround the reader with a sense of cheerful, welcoming warmth.
None of her characters are perfect. They are all flawed and have pasts that affect them in one way or another. They are real. They are a dramatized version of you, me, your best friend, or your next door neighbor. They have real problems that they have to face in order to move forward with life. They are tough and find a way to make it through life struggles, not because there is a promise of something better at the end, but because it is the only thing they know to do. They survive and in surviving they learn to love and laugh again.
Just when I wondered if Tess Thompson's amazing storytelling could get any better, she delivers Riverstar. This brings all of the best characters from her previous novels together into a final amazing murder, mystery, love story, adventure. Her characters are so real I continue to feel they are close friends, cheering them on. And once again once I started, I could not stop. This lady is a truly amazing talent, hope she has started her next, I need more!!!!!
River Valley is such a charming setting for this series and makes one feel that anything is possible. The way all the characters grow and develop adds a great deal to each book and the story line. I cannot wait for the next book and if you enjoy well written and well defined characters who make you feel like you want to go there and be there friend then these books are for you!!!!

This paper describes our experience with the design of a remote pathologists workstation. We illustrate how our effort to apply direct manipulation principles led us to explore remote direct manipulation designs. The use of computer and communication systems to operate devices remotely introduces new challenges for users and designers. In addition to the usual concerns, the activation delays, reduced feedback, and increased potential for breakdowns mean that designers must be especially careful and creative. The user interface design is closely linked to the total system design. (Also cross-referenced as CAR-TR-551)

Hammers clacked and electric saws spun Sept. 26 as Alex Nyilas of Cutchogue and seven fellow PSEG Long Island employees left their local offices to join forces on constructing a handicapped-accessible ramp for a physically challenged Bay Shore woman.
The day-long build was guided by Rebuilding Together Long Island, an organization that helps Long Islanders by providing needed home repairs at no cost. Mr. Nylias said members of the organization, including Stella Hendrickson, who directed the build, offered guidance on what to do on-site while they worked.
"Specifically, the wheelchair ramp build that we did, in my own words, was an excellent example of the type of volunteer work this group does," he said. READ
