Published at Sunday, September 09th 2018. by Justine Wolf in Clamp.
To use a pipe clamp, it is important to use proper measurements. First, take a measurement of the wood pieces that are to be glued together. Then, either find a pipe that is already the right size or cut a section of pipe to match this measurement, with about an extra foot. Metal or PVC pipe can be used because both are durable, you just need to ensure that one end of the pipe is threaded. Attach the static clamp to the non-threaded side and secure it in place, then attached the tightening clamp to the threaded end of the pipe. Size up the wood and make sure it is connected in the way you need to it to co me out in the end, and then slowly tighten the clamp down the threaded section until it is held together firmly. If you are working with multiple pipe clamps, it can be easier to tighten one side a little and then the other side a little more, incrementally increasing the hold on the wood until there is balanced pressure.
Ease of use - Even though most bench clamps are designed to operate the same, the craftsmanship of the tool can determine what an easy time you have during use. Choose clamps with all the right features and parts to make use easier for you. You should manage to use your bench clamp without any help at all if it is well crafted. The areas where your hands go should be enhanced to give you comfort as you fix the tool on your workbench.
At times we tend to take things for granted, even the things without which we cannot live. It is only when these things are absent then only we realize their importance. Similarly for woodworkers, clamps play a very important role, and without these clamps it would be almost impossible to create any type of wood item.
A wise woodworker will always pick up extra clamps because these would always come in handy. They are available in various sizes and depending on your project or your needs you need to purchase the right size. It is amazing that something so useful is sold at inexpensive prices, so you should stock up on these if you are into woodworking. You can purchase these from tool auctions or you can visit your local store which sells woodworking tools and items.
The truth is that woodworking might not exist without the existence of clamps in the first place because it is the clamp which holds the wood or the wooden parts together, without the clamps the wooden pieces would fall apart and it would be impossible to work with them. However some argue that there is always another solution for this and that is to glue the wooden pieces together in order to work with them.

Erie County Legislator Kevin Hardwick announced that, at the Thursday, May 9, legislative session, his resolution in support of keeping fines paid by Tonawanda Coke Corporation local, was approved unanimously.
"The pollutants emitted from Tonawanda Coke's facility have greatly affected the health and well-being of residents in the community. The collected fines should remain in the City and Town of Tonawanda, Grand Island and the Riverside section of Buffalo," said Hardwick, who represents Grand Island in the Erie County Legislature.
At the request of Hardwick, Rebecca Newberry, program coordinator for the Clean Air Coalition of WNY, and Cheryl McNett, who has been affected by Tonawanda Coke, spoke in support of Hardwick's resolution at the legislature's Energy and Environment Committee, which met prior to Thursday's vote.
"I want to thank Rebecca and Cheryl for sharing their insight with the committee. They made quite an impression on the members," Hardwick added.
Tonawanda Coke could face up to $200 million in fines when sentenced later this year. Specifically, Hardwick is requesting that any fines collected be used directly to address community health concerns and environmental problems caused by Tonawanda Coke.
Hardwick's resolution will be forwarded to U.S. District Court Judge William M. Skretny and U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul, requesting serious consideration be given to requiring that money paid stay in the Tonawandas. Rep. Brian Higgins, the Town of Tonawanda Board and City of Tonawanda Board are also on record in support of this measure.

Hidden Keyloggers on Android, Here's How To Deal With It!
The Internet is a new world out there that can be accessed by anyone, there is no distinction between good and evil people. Therefore Gadgeteers must remain cautious and alert, nah! One of the things to watch out for is Keyloggers.
What is Keylogger really? Basically Keylogger itself is a program used to monitor data entry via keyboard. So sparingly, this program can record keystrokes on the device's keyboard. So what makes it dangerous and should be wary of? Unfortunately, if the Keylogger is stored by someone else (not the user of the phone) then most likely the data typed using the keyboard of the device will be readable by others. Obviously this is dangerous because passwords can be stolen by others, not just passwords, even ATM PINs, and other privacy data can be stolen easily.
When Gadgeteers is one of the people who more often arti mimpi togel do activities that are privacy using the phone, you should be careful of this Keylogger, although we already feel safe, it could be Keylogger program is installed by accident through malware. Therefore this time @GadgetGaul will discuss how to know the Keylogger on our device or not at once how to delete it:
1. Find the Source
When Gadgeteers senses or starts to know that there is a Keylogger on an Android device being digukanan, there are times when first know the source from which the Keylogger can enter. Is it from an irresponsible friend? From someone else who accidentally lent his cell phone Gadgeteers? Or indeed from the malware that appears when surfing the internet? When you know the source, it will be easier to remove it and remove it.
2. Check Android Performance
Keyloggers do not make a stable Android device work as usual. Sometimes the device will have a hang or lag that is not clear how it can happen. Although in fact it can happen even if there is no Keylogger installed, but usually there are other characteristics that appear as often restart itself or suddenly appear strange numbers on the screen. When that happens, there's a Keylogger on Android Gadgeteers.
Here's How to Remove it:
3. Use Manual Mode
When you already know that inside the Android Gadgeteers device there Keylogger, can delete it manually that live just go from folder to folder. See if there are any suspicious files like the example above. Usually Keylogger program itself is an unusual application file, so make it a habit to know what applications are available on Android Gadgeteers devices.
4. Use Anti Virus
Do not want to be hard? Use only anti-virus or anti-malware available on the Google Play Store because if the Keylogger is accidentally installed due to viruses or incoming malware, it is likely to be detected by security devices such as anti-virus and malware. Then we recommend that Gadgeteers use anti-virus or anti-malware that is recommended to be more steady eliminating its own Keylogger.

English Teacher
Hi everyone
I make the English learning video on Youtube feel free to go check out
If you are interested in improving your English but you don't know where to start, I have some tips and hints to share with you.
When people learn English as their second language, most people first learn the alphabet and then how to spell simple words. Once you have learnt some words, you can then make simple sentences by including the correct tense. This is a confusing way to learn as you learn words by recognizing the whole word and not the sounds of the individual letters put together.
It doesn't work because it's not natural. The natural way that humans learn languages is by listening. Listening is the key to be success. Think of when you learned your own language when you were a baby. Of course you could not read or write yet. You listened to your mother, your father and all the other people around you. They spoke to you and you heard them speaking to others. You copied the sounds that they made with out knowing what the sounds meant. Over time you started to picked up the words like MOMMY and DADDY and began to understand what some words meant. Over time you slowly learnt how to speak.
That is how you are supposed to learn how to speak a language, even as a grown up. So the first thing I would recommend you to do is to listen. Listen to any material that you can find. It could be movies, radio, songs, audio books or television. But the key thing that I want you to remember today is that you should be able to understand at least 60 to 70 percent of what you are listening to. Otherwise you won't learn anything because you don't understand enough to learn more.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – There is no escaping the emotion that surrounds Wednesday's match between the Columbus Crew and the LA Galaxy (7 pm ET, NBCSN, live chat on MLSsoccer.com).
It will be the first game for Columbus since the sudden and tragic passing of Crew midfielder Kirk Urso on Aug. 5. Urso's untimely passing shook the Crew organization and the rest of MLS, leading to the eventual postponement of last Saturday's match against Toronto FC so that players could attend Urso's funeral.
This presents a unique challenge for the Galaxy as they look to continue their rise up the Western Conference standings in front of an incredibly emotionally charged environment at Crew Stadium.
"Certainly, it'll be an emotional game for them," Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena said following the Galaxy's training session on the Ohio State campus on Tuesday. "Obviously, the loss of Kirk is sad and tragic and we're here to be in full support of the occasion, the whole Crew organization and the Urso family."
The Galaxy are expected to participate in a series of pregame tributes to Urso, which include a pregame memorial video that is expected to be played before the opening kick off. LA performed their own tribute for Urso during last Sunday's 4-0 victory over Chivas USA as the entire team donned "Kirk Urso 15" armbands in remembrance of the late Crew midfielder.
Even though the emotion surrounding the game is certain, how it impacts the way the two teams play on the field remains open for interpretation.
"They could take it two ways," Galaxy defender A.J. DeLaGarza said. "They could either be very emotional where they're not really thinking about the game or they could be really tuned in and playing for Kirk and come out flying. Our plan is to score early, and if you do that, then you put them under a little bit of pressure and then maybe they fold."
Ultimately, while the Galaxy will arrive at Crew Stadium on Wednesday with heavy hearts. But they admit that once the match kicks off, their focus will change to the task at hand.
"It's going to be an emotional sort of thing for everybody, the crowd and the people associated with Columbus, we're well aware at that," said Galaxy forward Robbie Keane. "It's the same here really, a couple of the [Galaxy] guys here knew him so it'll be tough all around.
"But as soon as that whistle goes, we're going to win the 90 minutes and focus on the game and after the game, our thoughts will be with the family."

Five minutes into "Ice Age: Continental Drift," kindhearted but accident-prone Sid the Sloth (voice of John Leguizamo) riffs a joke that summarizes the franchise. He's telling a new character how he and his glacial mates fought dinosaurs in the previous installment, summarizing, "It didn't make sense, but it sure was exciting."
No truer phrase has ever been said about this lucrative animated series. Logic may be extinct, but, boy do these movies whiz by like ice cubes on a linoleum floor.
Much like "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted," the fourth "Ice Age" freshens up the 10-year-old franchise by shunning easy pop-culture jokes and embracing its weird side. Critics are quick to praise the venerable Pixar studio for pioneering new territory with the feminist spirit of "Brave." But their creative rivals at DreamWorks and 20th Century Fox should be similarly championed for bold efforts with their established franchises, particularly when such abstract thought works as well as it does here.
"Continental Drift" doesn't contain anything as zeitgeist-defining as "Madagascar's" catchy earworm "Afro Circus" (polka dot, polka dot, polka dot, afro). But it does sling an assembly line of head-scratchingly strange and consistently funny jokes at its audience as it rockets along. Monkey pirates? Check. A lost continent made up entirely of acorns? Check. A thrilling action sequence set in the belly of a whale that dares to mimic Walt Disney's 1940 classic "Pinocchio"? Sure, why not.
Previous "Ice Age" installments drew inspiration from our planet's climate changes, and "Continental Drift" is no different. Here, fissures caused by volcanic fault lines separate franchise regulars Sid, Diego (Denis Leary) and Manny (Ray Romano) from the latter's family — wife Ellie (Queen Latifah) and teenage daughter Peaches (Keke Palmer). Efforts to reunite at a sinking land bridge force Manny and crew to battle Captain Gutt (Peter Dinklage), a menacing ape who rules the Seven Seas from his pirate-ship-shaped iceberg.
"Continental Drift" does fall victim to an avoidable sequel trap by adding too many new faces at the expense of existing characters. Jennifer Lopez brings romantic chemistry as Shira, an albino tiger in Gutt's crew who ends up being a feisty love interest for Diego. And Wanda Sykes creates the funniest character in "Ice Age" history as Sid's Granny, a seemingly confused sloth who's far more intelligent than she lets on. But we spend so much time deciphering these new characters that Latifah's Ellie, and even Romano's Manny, are all but left in the dust. Longtime "Ice Age" screenwriter Michael Berg and newcomer Jason Fuchs make passing swipes at standard emotional messages about the bonds of friendship and family, but these life lessons are reduced to bite-size bon mots we're asked to rapidly digest en route to the next action sequence.
What "Continental Drift" lacks in character development, however, it makes up for in visual wizardry. The animation is spectacular, and the 3-D is some of the best I've seen this year. Animation lends itself to creative 3-D trickery, and co-directors Steve Martino and Mike Thurmeier tweak their visuals so that every tusk, trunk and saber tooth extends into our laps.
The team also does more with ice and water than they ever have before. One long fight sequence against a giant crab in the middle of a choppy ocean alone justifies the price of a 3-D upgrade.
From a studio's perspective, "Ice Age" sequels are no-brainers. Each new chapter manages to improve on the box-office fortunes of its immediate predecessor. But that doesn't mean the sequels have to be dumb. "Continental Drift" is energetic, inventive and frequently amusing. And in Hollywood's current age of remakes and reboots, that's pretty cool.

Gov. Tim Pawlenty heads to New Hampshire today to campaign for Republicans running for governor and Congress in that state, the governor's fourth trip to the Granite State and another sign he is building the foundation to run for president in 2012.
Pawlenty has been crisscrossing the country to campaign for Republicans and has visited 27 states in a little over a year. While Pawlenty has been racking up the frequent flyer miles, a large part of his focus has been on the key presidential states of Iowa and New Hampshire. He has raised nearly $2.7 million.
In July, Pawlenty visited a Republican county picnic in Dover, N.H. He took part in a pie-tasting contest, spoke on behalf of Republican candidates and met core Republican voters. He also arrived bearing a gift -- a $500 check to the local Republican party.
Pawlenty has delivered plenty of checks in New Hampshire. Last week, he endorsed more than 30 federal, state and local candidates there, and announced he was giving a total of $27,000 to those candidates. The money is coming from his federal political action committee and a New Hampshire-based PAC.
Pawlenty has created another state-based committee in Iowa to help candidates there. While he is actively working to elect candidates in those states, an MPR News analysis of campaign finance data found that the governor isn't relying on donors from those states. His federal PAC reports just one donation from New Hampshire and two donations from Iowa.
"We don't really view our role as taking money out of competitive states like Iowa or New Hampshire," said Alex Conant, a spokesman for Pawlenty's Freedom First political action committee. "We want to go there and help the candidates there by raising money for them."
The MPR News analysis of contributions to the Iowa and New Hampshire PACs shows Pawlenty is tapping a few donors. Federal law caps individual donations to PACs at $5,000 a year. By creating PACs in Iowa and New Hampshire, Pawlenty is able to tap the same donors more than once.
Finance reports show that the family of Chicago banker William Strong, who co-chairs Pawlenty's federal PAC, has given $42,000 to Pawlenty's federal and New Hampshire PACs. Voyager Bank CEO Bill Owens and his wife gave $40,000 to Pawlenty's federal PAC and his PAC in Iowa.
In total, 15 households gave $303,000 to Pawlenty's Iowa, New Hampshire and Federal PACs -- for 11 percent of the funds he's raised.
Pawlenty spokesman Conant said some of Pawlenty's key donors are excited to help the governor.
"A lot of folks who are really impressed with the governor and want to be supportive of our efforts to help conservatives win this fall, want to keep giving even after they've maxed out to the federal PAC and these state based PACs are a great way to do that," Conant said.
Tapping the same donors to give to multiple PACs is legal. Other potential candidates Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee are doing the same thing.
But Paul Ryan, a campaign finance watchdog at the nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center, said Pawlenty and the other presidential hopefuls are doing an end run around campaign finance law.
"If you're looking to amass a bunch of money either in excess of the contribution limits of any one jurisdiction or complete circumvention of a jurisdiction's contribution limits, one of the ways to achieve that is by setting up different committees in different states," Ryan said.
Candidates have been careful not to declare a run for president or even suggest they are testing the waters, Ryan said. Once that happens, the candidates are held to different standards.
For example, campaign finance laws would then limit individual contributions to $2,400, much less than what politicians can collect through their leadership PACs. Ryan said it's a stretch to say Pawlenty isn't in the early stages of a presidential campaign.
"To the extent that individuals are flying repeatedly to New Hampshire and Iowa and South Carolina to "discuss public issues" and not acknowledge that they're running for president -- it's a bit of a charade in my view," Ryan said.
Pawlenty has said he will announce early next year whether he'll run for president.

Baseball Tomorrow Fund to be recognized for grant to the City of Norfolk
Grant to benefit 200 youth participants from one of the oldest RBI leagues in U.S.In support of the ongoing commitment from Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association to increase youth participation in baseball in urban areas throughout the world, the Baseball Tomorrow Fund awarded a $75,000 grant to the City of Norfolk (VA) Department of Neighborhood and Leisure Services. The grant will support the renovation of a softball field at Barraud Park into a youth baseball/softball field for use by the Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) program.
The Baseball Tomorrow Fund will be recognized for its contribution to this project during a check presentation ceremony on Tuesday, July 26th at 11:00 a.m. (EDT). The presentation will take place at Barraud Park in Norfolk. A picnic will directly follow the check presentation ceremony, after which players from the Norfolk Tides will host a baseball clinic for 100 local youth. Cathy Bradley, Executive Director of the Baseball Tomorrow Fund, will participate in the festivities. Bradley will be joined by a number of local dignitaries including: Mayor Paul Fraim; Councilman Anthony Burfoot; Mr. William Foster, President of Townebank - Norfolk and several Norfolk Tides executives.
The City of Norfolk Department of Neighborhood and Leisure Services operate one of the oldest RBI programs in the country. Upon completion of this project, the program will expand to include 9-to-15 year olds, including 100 additional players from the eight local-area middle schools, bringing the total number of Norfolk RBI participants to approximately 200. Justin Upton, an alumnus of the Norfolk RBI program, was selected by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2005 First-Year Player Draft, becoming the first-ever alumnus of an RBI program to be selected first-overall in the draft.
RBI is a youth outreach program designed to promote interest in baseball, increase the self-esteem of disadvantaged children, and encourage kids to stay in school and off the streets. Managed by Major League Baseball in conjunction with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, RBI programs have been started in more than 200 cities worldwide, and annually have provided as many as 120,000 boys and girls with the opportunity to play baseball and softball.
The Baseball Tomorrow Fund is designed to promote and enhance the growth of baseball throughout the world by funding programs, field improvements and equipment purchases to encourage and maintain youth participation in baseball and softball. Since its inception in 1999, the Baseball Tomorrow Fund has awarded grants totaling more than $8.5 million benefiting nearly 100,000 youth participating in more than 170 youth baseball and softball programs across the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands and Europe.

Lisa Sharon Harper
More from Sojo.net
Lisa Sharon Harper, Sojourners' director of mobilizing, was the founding executive director of New York Faith & Justice—an organization at the hub of a new ecumenical movement to end poverty in New York City. In that capacity, she helped establish Faith Leaders for Environmental Justice, a citywide collaborative effort of faith leaders committed to leveraging the power of their constituencies and their moral authority in partnership with communities bearing the weight of environmental injustice. She also organized faith leaders to speak out for immigration reform and organized the South Bronx Conversations for Change, a dialogue-to-change project between police and the community.
She has written extensively on tax reform, comprehensive immigration reform, health-care reform, poverty, racial justice, and transformational civic engagement for publications and blogs including The National Civic Review, God's Politics blog, The Huffington Post, Urban Faith, Prism, and Slant33.
Harper's faith-rooted approach to advocacy and organizing has activated people across the U.S. and around the world to address structural and political injustice as an outward demonstration of their personal faith.
Her first book, Evangelical Does Not Equal Republican…or Democrat, offers a power-packed look at the roots of evangelical faith, how evangelicals strayed so far from those roots, and what is bringing them back.
Her second book, Left, Right & Christ: Evangelical Faith in Politics, was co-written with D.C. Innes (an evangelical Republican who is also a Tea-Partier). Harper and Innes explore their philosophies of government and business, as well as six major issues that the next generation of evangelicals must wrestle with to be faithful witnesses in the public square.
Harper co-founded and co-directed the Envision 2008: The Gospel, Politics, and the Future conference on the campus of Princeton University (June 2008) and co-chaired the Envision 2011: Caring for the Community of Creation: Environmental Justice, Climate Change, and Prophetic Witness symposium in New York City (June 2011).

Indian fringed carpet cardigan / coat and morrocan leather coin bag: Vintage || Led Zeppelin tee: H&M || Leggings: Urban Outfitters
A comfortable casual look for the colder spring weather and it includes a lot of 70s vintage. That coin bag was a must have first second on, it looks so unusual, very hippie like and got a beautiful lotus flower inspired detail. Really one of my treasures and best vintage findings ever. I combined it with my woven cotton carpet coat which is also true 70s vintage. I like its kimono inspired style and its boho look. On top of that it's nicely warm!

Pocono pet owners were grief-stricken Friday as they learned that Dr. Britt Seely of the Brodheadsville Veterinary Clinic had died.
Pocono pet owners were grief-stricken Friday as they learned that Dr. Britt Seely of the Brodheadsville Veterinary Clinic had died.
From sharing stories of how the doctor was almost always spot-on with his diagnosis to noting his straightforward manner or remarking on the amount of compassion he showed to the animals, Seely's clients all had praise for him.
"I don't think I'll ever find a veterinarian like Dr. Seely again," said Nadya Matychak of Henryville, whose redfox Labrador, Karma, was a patient at the clinic.
Seely, who was 58 and who had owned and operated the vet office since 1984, died early Friday morning at Pocono Medical Center from a "massive heart event," the Monroe County coroner said. Seely had had heart surgery early in the month.
Though many noted that Seely's skills as a veterinarian were superb and that he had an almost uncanny ability to tell what was ailing animals — "he was like our animal voice," one client said — almost all agreed that his standout feature was his compassion.
Seely remembered the names of almost all the animals he treated and listened carefully and attentively to the animals' owners.
"I never once felt rushed in that man's office," said Steve Leibig of Tannersville.
Carol Fuller remembers Seely as a "good man who cared about animals in the community."
As president of the Waggin' Tails pet rescue group, Fuller has worked with him more than 13 years. "He's been one of the most reasonable and best vets to the rescues," she said.
Fuller remarked on Seely's dry sense of humor and his willingness to work with rescued pets. He didn't ask upfront for payment. "I'd settle up with him afterwards," Fuller said.
"He was such an important part to our rescue, all the rescues really," Fuller said.
Pet owners recalled that he would go out of his way to make sure an animal he treated was properly recuperating and that everything was OK.
"Do you know that after Dr. Seely performed eyelid surgery on Karma he actually called us that night from his own home to find out how Karma was doing?" Matychak said.
When the friends of Stroudsburg resident Kathryn Furney Longo brought their gravely ill dog to Seely to be put down, they were too distraught to actually get out of the car once they arrived at the clinic, so Seely offered to perform the act in the car.
And when Longo's own dog needed to be put to sleep, she said Seely even cried with her.
"We will miss him so much," Longo said.
According to Seely's wife, Barbara, Seely decided to study veterinary medicine because he loved biology and he "loved all animal life."
He received his doctorate in veterinary medicine from the University of Illinois in 1981 and opened the clinic soon after. The clinic has grown over the years and currently has about 14 staff members and another vet.
Upon reading of his death, pet owners posted numerous comments on the Pocono Record's Facebook page.
One of Seely's former clients, Mary Giese Radke, wrote: "Soooooooo sad to hear this, a terrific doctor for the furry part of my family for many, many years."
Marta Gouger contributed to this report.

My only problem with the whole thing is that there was no divinci catagory. I spent months designing something.
That and no outpost catagory, but I can adapt
In the castle theme, do corner towers count as "side towers"? It seems an unusual description, I'm not sure what is meant as side towers. A tower in the middle of the side wall, not at the ends?
Also, the need for "interior buildings" gives the impression they need to be stand-alone. Yes or no?
One question for Pat though. Did you name your wizard before or after I posted my wizard's tower

Irene Hannon Books & Biography
Irene Hannon is a bestselling, award-winning author who took the publishing world by storm at the tender age of ten with a sparkling piece of fiction that received national attention. Okay...maybe that's a slight exaggeration. But she was one of the honourees in a complete-the-story contest conducted by a national children's magazine. And she likes to think of that as her "official" fiction-writing debut! Since then, she has written more than thirty-five contemporary romance and romantic suspense novels. Irene has twice won the RITA award-the "Oscar" of romantic fiction-from Romance Writers of America and is a five-time finalist. Her books have also been honoured with a HOLT medallion, a Daphne du Maurier award, and two Reviewers' Choice awards from RT Book Reviews magazine. In 2011, Booklist named Deadly Pursuit one of the top ten inspirational fiction titles of the year. Irene, who holds a B.A. in psychology and an M.A. in journalism, juggled two careers for many years until she gave up her executive corporate communications position with a Fortune 500 company to write full-time. She is happy to say she has no regrets. As she points out, leaving behind the rush-hour commute, corporate politics and a relentless BlackBerry that never slept was no sacrifice. A trained vocalist, Irene has sung the leading role in numerous community theatre productions and is also a soloist at her church. When not otherwise occupied, she loves to cook, garden and take long walks. She and her husband also enjoy traveling, Saturday mornings at their favourite coffee shop and spending time with family. They make their home in Missouri. To learn more about Irene and her books, visit her website.

Battleheart Review
When dragons, orcs, and evil goblin kings threaten your fair homeland, what should you do? You should visit a tavern, of course. No, not to tip one back and forget about impending doom, but to recruit other well-meaning lads and ladies who will help you do away with demon scum– for a price.
Battleheart is an aptly-named tower defense/ strategy/ beat-em-up game: it'll thrust you and your warriors into battle, and it has a whole lotta heart. Your band of four warriors travels from level to level, beating down the hordes of enemies that swarm you. Your recruits are pretty standard fantasy fare: knights, clerics, wizards, thieves, the works. There are some surprises, though, like pirates, berserkers, and a lonely prince named "Edwardo" who disguised himself as a bard after the love of his life was attacked and killed by enemy forces. Hmm, we've heard that one before.
I shall dispatch them with a song!
You give orders to your warriors by tapping on them and dragging their path to to the relevant task. For instance, a knight will need to be directed towards an enemy to punish, whereas a cleric will need to be shown which ally to heal. Every character also has access to special powerful attacks that can turn the tide of a battle, but require a "cool down" period of several seconds.
A handful of seconds might not seem like a big deal, but the action in Battleheart is so frenzied the struggle between life and death can be decided in the blink of an eye. Enemies pour in relentlessly, and the bigger baddies are often accompanied by swarms of underlings. The good guys usually attack the closest threat without waiting for your order, but on occasion they'll just stand in place, wall-faced, while a warg chews on your cleric.
Get the Raid!
Ergo, Battleheart is a great deal of fun, but only if you indulge in small bites. You only command four warriors at a time, but even that's enough to make you wish you had eight eyes and four arms. When the action gets particularly heated, the battlefield becomes cramped and then it becomes difficult to dole out proper orders. The result? Dead heroes.
Also, there's not much to do in the downtime between battles. You can recruit more warriors, upgrade equipment with the merchant, examine battle skills, but not a whole lot else. It would have been nice to engage in some interaction between your characters, especially since the humor-filled script for Battleheart is a perfect accompaniment for the well-animated, super-deformed fighters.
Battleheart is a little low on strategy compared to many tower defense/ kill-'em-all games, though not entirely devoid of it (enemies will go after the most heavily-armored character first– use that to your advantage!). If you're okay with sacrificing brainpower for heavy-duty action, this kingdom cries out for your protection.

About James Plotkin
I'm a law student, musician and sometimes writer interested in intellectual property and tech law matters.
Also the name of a Rage Against The Machine album :)
You're a very angry man, aren't you?
I didn't refuse to acknowledge his distinction. In fact I did acknowledge it. I'm not claiming my analogy is absolutely perfect. All I'm saying is that it's sufficient to prove the point I was trying to make: "restricting peoples rights to do whatever they want is not an inherently bad thing".
You speak very loftily of "truth". In reality, all you do is make claims. Where I and many other people here are respectful to one another, you've essentially called me "evil" and someone who doesn't care about truth...dude, you don't even know me...
Anyways, I think I'm done with this thread. You're entitled to your opinion and I respect your right to voice it. I would recommend however, that you check your angry rhetoric at the door if you want to take part in a productive conversation. If you don't, have at it Hoss!
I feel like this particular point is very tired and overused.
Fine. It's not theft in the same way as stealing a person's car is theft, ok? Let's call it something else - unlawful appropriation of someone else's work.
Just because IP is intangible doesn't mean it isn't valuable. It also doesn't mean people aren't capable of taking it.
You're right (and so was Jefferson from whom this argument originated) that lighting your candle by my flame doesn't darken my light. But this is a false analogy. By copying my work you are depreciating its value. Whether or not this is stealing to you is irrelevant. A person is unjustly enriching themselves to someone else's detriment.
"Talking theft and property rights when they are not applicable is outright lying, and people such as yourself who continue to do so should be shamed and held accountable for your obvious lack of concern with truth in this important topic."
This is verging on trolling but I'll reply anyways. I don't know what your expertise is in the domain of property law (or intellectual property law). I have experience with both. I've given a lot of thought and devoted a lot of time to these issues. I also have the benefit of a legal education where I focused most of my attention on these matters.
Perhaps I'm not "lying" and in relaity it's you who has a little bit of trouble with the nuances here. I don't know that I even used the word theft, but if I did, I meant it in a colloquial sense.
If you don't think IP rights should exist, that's fine. Calling people who disagree with you "evil" even though they posit cogent and respectful arguments isn't terribly productive.
Finally, you're opening statement is wrong. Copyright is property, legally. I mean, that's just a fact...Is it EXACTLY like real property and personal property? No. It's "intellectual property". It's intangible and it's based on certain legal rationals that are not present in the traditional forms of property. But to say that it isn't property "legally" is a clear demonstration of your lack of understanding of the law...
As for morality. I'm not someone who believes in objective moral values. But let me put it this way:
If Bob puts on a concert and records the concert so that he can sell a live CD, but someone else bootlegs the concert without Bob's permission and sells or gives away the concert for free, Bob likely won't make as many sales.
How does Bob feel? How do those who like Bob and want to see him succeed feel? Is the bootlegger morally wrong? Some may say no, but I would think that most people would say yes as soon as they put themselves in Bob's shoes.
Anyways, You need to start from the position that IP is property because the law considered it to be even if you don't. Any meaningful conversation on the topic should begin from a point that is rooted in reality. You skip right to the idealism...good luck with that.
Yes. I see. The argument still doesn't really hold water. Presumably cars existed before the first traffic lights. I fail to see the insight here.
Thank you for the reply.
"This doesn't make sense. Why would we as a society shrink the public domain (without copyright, everything is public domain) in order to grow it? Society doesn't gain anything from this bargain."
Well I think this is a false dilemma. Remember that the public domain grows with the number of works created. This is a simple mathematical fact. Would you agree that incentives by definition encourage people to do or abstain from doing things?
If this is true, then granting property protection to works of the mind doesn't shrink the public domain, it grows it (just with a time delay of life + 70- which I think you and I both agree is way too long!). Whether the current regime allows for optimal growth is a different question. I would say no. Some might disagree. There's a healthy debate to be had.
"We have to ask: Increased creation of what? Art? Why does society want that? Society doesn't benefit merely from the creation of art. Art is amazing and important, and vital to the development of society. But simply creating it isn't enough. Art is of no use to society if it sits in a warehouse an nobody sees it."
Ok. But painting 30 canvases and then warehousing them, never to be seen again isn't profitable. You're strawmaning it a little here. I never claimed that simply creating a piece of artwork is enough that someone should get paid for it.
We agree that simply creating a work isn't enough to add to culture, but it also isn't enough to get paid. In order to both get paid and add to culture, the work must be disseminated.
"Now, finally, things are starting to make sense. Copyright isn't an incentive to create; creation doesn't need further incentive. What needs incentive is *publishing*"
Ok. The way I see it, all you've done is add one link to the chain of reason. if publishing, not creation is the goal of copyright, then copyright incentivises publishing, not creation. I don't necessarily agree with you, but even if you're right, the reasoning for copyright law remains the same, only the terms have changed ("creation" is now "publication").
As for the internet, I think we agree that it's a huge game changer. You're right in pointing out that publishing costs have gone way down for most things. Where I take issue is what you degrade publishing into.
In the most general sense, when a person posts their status on Facebook, they are publishing. But we both know that isn't what we mean. I think that blogs and YouTube are the greatest equalizers. Still the difference between a good quality and poor quality YouTube video has nothing to do with the service itself, but the quality of the work uploaded to it.
I tend to watch very high production value and very low production value videos on YouTube. Sometimes my favorite thing to do is just watch another person talk into a camera about something that interests me. Other times I want to see a thrilling action sequence with cool special effects. The former has a low production/publishing cost; The latter, not so much.
In my opinion, while most creators don't need copyright at all, some need it a lot. The reason why having it is necessarily better than not having it is because the people who do not wish to enforce their copyright don't have to. Copyright law still requires an affirmative action by a rights holder to enforce the right. For those who aren't interested in enforcing, don't. Furthermore, people can renounce copyright in a work or place the work under a very broad CC license. But what about the minority of creators who still do want to protect their work? Why shouldn't they be allowed to?
This brings me to one of your other points about how copyright is no longer necessary. You're right that a lot of artists don't directly profit off their copyright. Many still do however (trust me, people I know stillg et the odd royalty check). While most performance artists make more money off performance, I don't see anything wrong with having another revenue stream.
"The balance paradigm assumes an either/or situation: Either creators earn a living, or the public domain is fully and rapidly filled."
I'm sorry but I disagree completely. It may be correct to say that under the current regime (which none of us seem to like that much) works aren't flying into the public domain at the rate we would like. What if the copyright term were a flat 10 years. That would mean that everything created before 2003 would be fair game today. That seems like a pretty robust and rich public domain to me.
I believe the above scenario is a case where the public and private interests aren't locked into a zero sum death match. You're clearly bright and you've clearly thought this through. I would be surprised if you didn't agree here.
Finally on this point, the fact that copyright is not proving to provide large amounts of revenue to the majority of artists (it still helps a minority of artists quite a bit) today doesn't mean that it never will again. It just doesn't logically follow. We've moved away from a world where a CD or record holds much value for the average person; but what if there is some sort of shift where physical media becomes cool again. I mean, nobody thought the Van Dyke would come back...I see far too many of them for that to be true.
As for the dying publishing industry, I'm not shedding too many tears. But this too is not an adequate justification for abolishing copyright. The model has switched to self-publishing (or indie publishing model). This doesn't mean that copyright has become useless; it is simply useful to a different person, the author instead of the publisher. Instead of the publisher offering money to the author, the author takes his or her work directly to the public. He then gets money directly from them, cutting out the middle man. It's a different business model but still not one in which copyright protection has become obsolete.
Again, I buy the Internet paradigm shift idea. Where you and I disagree is on the place of intellectual property rights in this new system. It's a healthy debate and I'm glad to have such a worthy adversary.
Copyright predates mechanical rights. In fact, it was an amendment to the existing copyright law of the US that created mechanical rights as a result of the SCOTUS decision in the "aeolian company case".
I'm Canadian so our law had taken a slightly different path to where it is today. Still, here too, mechanical rights didn't mark the beginning of copyright protection.
Check it out! Cheers!
Alternative bills:
Ok. Well then I thing we're speaking the same language, reform. If you say that copyright is broken, I agree. If you say new law is required, I agree. But notice that we're not talking about abolition anymore.
"Instead, you're saying that authors have an interest in being able to extract money from the public (who presumably do have to work at day jobs) so that the authors don't have to."
I meant that the art (or science) is their day job. I mean that an artist shouldn't also have to be a waiter or gas pump attendant. Now this is an idealistic view, and even a perfect copyright system wouldn't make it so that every artist who had the notion of becoming one could undoubtedly make enough money to live (or even thrive). But as you said, let's get as close to perfect as possible.
"It is not substantially different from the old patents in England, where the crown (typically in order to raise money without having to go through Parliament)"
Similar origins maybe, but different application and different justification. While you're right about the history, I don't see what bearing that has on how patents and copyrights work today. The monopoly right is not absolute. There are doctrines like fair use and de minimis copying that say that not any use of a copyrighted work falls within the exclusivity. Sorry Captain, but I just don't buy this part of your reasoning.
I agree that copyright isn't charity. Again, in my view (and nothing you're saying seems to run counter to this) reforming the law to recalibrate the balance is what is needed. what about a flat term of 20 or 30 years instead of life plus 50 (or 70 in the US). No special pleading for Mickey Mouse. These are the types of conversation we need to have. Notice the starting point isn't "no copyright whatsoever".
"Basically, your natural right to property consists of whatever you can personally defend against anyone else."
No. Not in 2013 anyways, and not in the common law or civil law systems of adjudication. The law is there to help you defend your rights so that you don't have to live your life with a gun in your hand repelling the borders of the family ranch. You're describing a "might makes right" scenario and I'm afraid it's woefully out of touch with how property rights have worked in common law jurisdictions for the past 1000 years. Like I said, I didn't want to get into a discussion about the theory of property. I simply brought up the adverse possession doctrine to illustrate that the law works to balance the public and private interests with real and personal property as well, not just intellectual property.
"Why do white people own most of North America? Because the previous inhabitants could not defend it."
Actually, the Europeans- in all their racist elitist splendor- considered this land "terra nulius", or "vacant land". Simply put, because they didn't have the same laws and socioeconomic structure, the Europeans didn't recognize the natives as civilized. Had they respected their own rules about property, things would have gone differently. This is a black eye on the western conception of law as universal. Fortunately, we aren't as overtly racist today as the renaissance Europeans were.
As for the Brooklyn Bridge I disagree. No matter how many people you can con into thinking it's yours, that doesn't make it so. It's a public resource. Even if you did own it (like the Ambassador bridge connecting Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan) our laws would still prevent you from determining who can or cannot cross the bridge. We don't take kindly to arbitrary discrimination and if those practices ever arose, you can be sure that people would manifest their malcontent pretty darn quick.
All this to say that your might makes right theory of property is not an accurate depiction of how property rights actually work.
"Same thing for copyright. Authors can claim to have rights, but really the public decides what rights they deign to give to authors, under what circumstances, etc. And why should they do so unless it is ultimately to the public benefit? Your balance idea just doesn't hold water."
It seems that you dehumanize authors here. Let's not forget that authors are people too. They're part of the public and their interest forms part of the public interest. Too often this debate is painted as a struggle between the virtuous public and the evil artists. Come on now...that's not fair. When you say the public decides what rights authors get, and that they only get the ones society feels they deserve, you're kind of failing to consider the artists. You're treating them as a means to placate the public and not an end in themselves. That's just not cool in a society where individual well being is valued.
"It's not bad for each person to want a personal library that consists of literally every work in existence, and it's not bad to want it for free, and it's not bad to want to use it without any restrictions."
You're right. It isn't bad to want these things. But that's not what I said. Just because it isn't wrong to want something doesn't mean that actually having it is a good. The consequences of everyone getting everything for free is that the people who make those things don't get any money. Some may create these works anyways, but they'll be doing so to their own financial detriment as the time they spend creating could be spent earning a living. The theory goes that this will reduce the over all amount of art created.
You dismiss the idea of copyright as charity (as you should), but the abolition model just turns the charity case around. The public becomes the charity case and the artists the benevolent donors...except it's against their own will.
"messy concerns that arise when people have to have food to eat, clothes to wear, homes to live in, etc. But it can still be an ideal we treasure without ever being able to attain."
Again, I agree with the last part...we can dream. I can also dream of a world where I'm the richest and most loved person in existence. Eventually, however, I have to come back to reality to slog my way through this world like everyone else. I suppose what I'm saying is that it's ok to dream; but in a forum where people are trying to solve real world problems, fantastical solutions like copyright abolition is not necessarily the best place to start the conversation.
Again, I've enjoyed this exchange. Thanks for engaging.
I respectfully disagree. For the purpose of my analogy, the revokability of the act isn't important. It's a very simple point I'm trying to make here.
In my opinion, dwelling on the differences is a red herring.
"[show] me someone that's made a living off copyright and I'm pretty sure it's someone limiting the rights of others to share content."
Well yes. That's the point. In order for them to make a living off their work, they need to protect their rights to exploit those works. Copyright is an "exclusive right". an exclusive right doesn't mean the affirmative right to do something (although it does entail that right); it mean the right to exclude others form doing something.
We start from the position that anyone can do anything. Then we temper it by saying that anyone can do anything except those things that are against the law. When we do that, we restrict other people's rights. But this isn't necessarily bad. We have to restrict some rights to ensure others.
Assassins make their living killing people. I don't see too many people lobbying for the repeal of murder statutes because those laws restrict the rights of contract killers to carry out their trade lawfully. We've determined that a person's right to live trumps a persons right to earn their living killing people. Likewise, we've determined that a creators right of remuneration for their work trumps a persons right to go hog wild and do whatever they want with other people's creations. As I wrote in a reply above, there is a balance to be struck and there's a lot of nuance, but the principle is the same.
"... I'm not going to wait for a TV broadcast on a specific channel which costs me $50 a month plus $25 for a premiere channel to wait just once a week for a show that most people would like."
Right. I covered this. The content industry should stop fighting technology and let you watch Game of Thrones whenever and wherever you want. The old broadcast model is not the only way anymore and the content industry is slowly but surely realizing that. Take Netflix's new release House of Cards. In recognition of the fact that their fans often like to watch a whole season of a show in one shot, they released the whole season at once rather than a week at a time.
The outcome you want to achieve doesn't require the abolition of copyright law; it requires a paradigm shift in business practices. Killing copyright isn't the best way-and certainly not the only way- to achieve that, unless of course you can prove that it is. Again, I haven't seen anyone prove that, only claim it.
Thanks for the reply. Very thoughtful.
"Copyright (and patent) law should serve the public interest. But two competing alternative laws might serve the public interest to differing degrees. We should choose whichever serves the public interest most; in fact, we should aim to maximally serve the public interest."
I unreservedly agree with the very last part of your statement. A state of affairs where the public interest is served to the highest possible degree is desirable.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say "competing alternative laws". Are you referring to the juxtaposition of copyright law with the freedom of speech? If you wouldn't mind clarifying this point I would be happy to respond to it.
On the point of abolishing copyright, I agree with you that it is possible that the best state of affairs would be to abolish it outright. Furthermore I don't think that the people who propone the abolition of copyright law are "stupid" (or at least they're not stupid simply because they hold this position). But before we even have this discussion, it's pertinent to examine the nature of copyright law.
We all know that intellectual property rights are conferred on creators as intensives to create. The legislator makes a bargain with creators granting them limited monopolies over their work in exchange for that work entering the public domain upon expiry of the right. This is the bargain theory.
However, there is another way of looking at IP rights as a balance between the private interests of creators and the public interest of society as a whole. This isn't an alternative way of looking at IP rights; It's perfectly compatible with the bargain mentioned above. The private interest of creators is to be able to earn a living off their work so that they don't also have to work a day job. Here is where I agree with Dodd in that not everyone in the entertainment business is filthy rich.
If you (like me) think that the balance is out of whack, then you're not for the abolition of copyright because by recognizing the legitimacy of the balance, you necessarily recognize the value of copyright's existence- namely to maintain the balance between the private and public interest. It's the same reason we have laws for other forms of property.
I don't want to get into a lesson on the law of property here, but one brief example is adverse possession (a.k.a. squatter's rights). The common law recognizes a persons absolute (subject to the government right of expropriation of "eminent domain" in the US) right over their land. However, the common law has decided that it's in the public interest for land to be used and for productivity to be increased. The courts therefore developed a doctrine by which a person with no rights in land may acquire those rights though possession of the land that runs counter to the title of the rightful owner. If a person holds that land for a prescribed period of time (and fulfills all the other requirements of the adverse possession doctrine), they become the rightful owner of the land and their claim is unimpeachable, even by the old rightful owner.
You can use abolition as a starting point if you want. I just don't think it makes sense given that our social justification for copyright is based on this bargain/balance relationship. If these are indeed virtues in our system, then abolition does seem to fall on the outer edge of the spectrum- hence why I refer to it as radical.
You were right about my statement being tautological. I could have taken more care in phrasing it. Still, I think you know what I was getting at. Again, assuming the balance/bargain paradigm is valid (and I see no evidence put forward by Mike or anyone else that it isn't), there should be laws in place to protect that balance. That entails determining what is within the bounds of the law. What is not within those bounds is illicit and the law should not only say that the behavior is bad, but provide mechanisms and remedies for rights holders to protect themselves and stem the behavior.
"I don't understand why this is bad. It may be impractical, it may be short sighted, and we may want to prohibit it... but in an ideal world this is certainly what we would want, and even if the ideal is unachievable, we really ought to strive to come as close as we can."
Again I'm not sure what you mean here. If something is impractical, short sighted, and behavior you admit we want to prohibit, then why isn't it bad exactly? Surely if the word bad is to have any meaning with regards to this debate, then the flagrant disregard for the rights of others which I referred to should qualify as bad.
Looking forward to your reply.
With respect, I think that the Napster and Grokster case and the rash of copyright infringement lawsuits against downloaders between 2004-2007 are proof that the Sony case was not the last chapter in the "content industry vs. innovation saga".
"The issue is not one of authors v. inventors, but one of authors v. persons who take the work product of inventors and then build a business model around the work product that relies in major part on the unlawful dissemination of authors' works."
I think we're saying the same thing here. Like I said, I'm all for legal action against those who flagrantly flout the property rights of creators. I'm just against the content industry using the law as a way to stifle innovation that conflicts with their current business model.
Again, I think we agree.
I agree that innovation is important and that the content industry has historically fought against it. This much isn't very controversial.
Where I'm forced to disagree with you is when you say things like:
"There is no "balance" needed here. What we need is a free and open internet, period. Protecting IP is a fool's errand. Focus on providing more legitimate services with better service, more convenience and reasonable pricing and there's no need to protect things."
It isn't an either or thing Mike. Innovation and protection of IP rights can be complimentary. I don't think overbearing draconian protections are needed and I would agree if you said that most national IP laws could use an overhaul in light of today's social reality; but there's a difference between copyright and patent reform and (copyright and patent) abolition.
You haven't actually made out a case for why no IP rights in any form whatsoever are appropriate. Just saying that innovation will solve the content industries problems doesn't make it so.
What I think is somewhere in between yours and Dodd's position. I think that the content industry must stop fighting against new technologies. I don't think it's ok for one of the main revenue streams of a record label or movie studio to be suing its customers. At the same time, I think reasonable IP protections should be on the books to allow rights holders to prevent illicit or non-legitimate use of their material. Not everyone is a Netflix. Some people really do want everything for free all the time, creators and rights holders be damned. Surely these are not the Netflixs and YouTubes of tomorrow. The ones that are and are willing to work with rights holders shouldn't have anything to fear.
A free and open Internet is a laudable objective and one that I think is worth pursuing with the understanding that national and international laws (on topics including but not limited to IP) must be given effect.
You take a very radical position on this issue. It seems to me that a radical position in either direction on this debate is not only unrealistic, it's naive. It's naive of rights holders to think they can do anything to stop innovation. It's also naive of IP abolitionists to think that the optimal situation is one in which creations of the mind garner no legal protection whatsoever.
I'm happy to see CIPPIC involved on this file. This really is right up their alley as copyright and privacy law are their two largest focuses.
In the interest of full disclosure I worked as an intern at CIPPIC for two semesters in 2010-2011. It was an amazing experience.
Keep it up David and Tamir!
You know, I'm Canadian, so far be it from me to say this...but...
This is an important election. There is no shortage of substantive issues to be debating. Why is this story getting any traction? President Obama has disenchanted a lot of Americans and Mitt Romney just outright ostracized 47% of them! I mean, why the hell are we talking about piracy of a political doc regardless of how good or bad it is (or how much or little money it's made). The White House shouldn't be giving this the time of day and if it's true that they made a statement slamming the film or it's creator, they really shouldn't have.
If there's something everyone can agree on, it' that the lobbying force of the content industry is not dependent on whether a republican or democrat holds office.
This is coming from someone who is passionate about intellectual property law...there are more important things to be discussing than copyright infringement right now...
Agreed. That's more or less the conclusion I came to bellow based on the very nature of the right in question.
I don't know that we should change the focal point away from the creator though. The right just needs to be a little less strong.
I read the Grimmelmann article on Ars Technica. I agree with Mike that it's a great read. Professor Grimmelmann certainly has a lot of insight on the Internet as it relates to copyright law.
Still, one thing kind of bothers me and it has to do with the perspective from which his comment is meant. Grimmelmann suggests that we focus on the front end (end user) rather than the back end (service provider). The problem with this approach (from the provider's perspective) is that both the end user and the provider are bound by copyright law. It is insufficient for a provider to assure that their service is offered in such a way that the end user is only doing what they are allowed to do; they must, themselves, not be infringing.
However, I think that professor Grimmelmann's perspective is an excellent one from a policy optic. If legislators viewed the question of copyright from the perspective of the end use, it would make it a lot easier to assure that the back-end activities don't infringe copyright so long as the front-end activities don't. I'm quite sure that this symbiosis can only be achieved by the enactment of laws axed on user rights.
Unfortunately, copyright (though intended to strike a balance between the interests of all groups concerned) is primarily a creator centered economic right. It would therefore take a complete 180 as tot he way we view the copyright.
It's bob time!
As I wrote above, if only the hard copy is destroyed and not the "new original" PDF, we may have an unauthorized reproduction on our hands.
Don't we end up in a bit of a chicken or the egg type scenario now? I mean, a government drafted and enacted the constitution.
And this is the reality upon which a modern copyright law should be modeled!

Leeza Tracey Ormsby arrested in Bali after alleged drug find
- Do you know more? Email us, message us on Twitter @smh.
A Sydney woman arrested in Bali when drugs were allegedly found at her villa may have been dealing, police say.
Police say they found MDMA, marijuana and hashish at a villa in North Kuta where Leeza Tracey Ormsby, 37, was staying.
According to a police document seen by Fairfax Media, Ms Ormsby was allegedly found with a joint inside her bag.
When police later searched the villa, they say they found 27 grams of hashish and 132 grams of MDMA. An electric scale, tape and plastic wrappers were also allegedly found at the villa.
A police source said it was possible she was dealing in drugs.
"Judging from the evidence, it's possible she's dealing. If [she's] just a user, why do you need a scale?" the source said.
It is understood Ms Ormsby lives in Paddington, Sydney. According to her lawyer, Ary B. Soenardi, she is unemployed and arrived in Bali just a few days before she was arrested on February 12. She was in Bali to visit a friend, he said.
Ms Ormsby, also known as Leeza Morrison, describes herself on her LinkedIn profile as a fitness trainer in the Sydney area and "owner of Shakedown street Espresso".
Ms Ormsby, who was born in Rotorua, New Zealand, was arrested at a North Kuta village in Denpasar for possession, Denpasar drug squad chief Agus Tri Waluyo said.
Major Waluyo said police received information there would be drugs at a party in the villa.
"We made the ambush on Wednesday around 8am," he said. "In that location, we found the evidence."
According to a statement given to investigators, Ms Ormsby admitted that, some days before the raid, a drugs party had taken place with five of her friends, who had then returned to their home countries.
Police say Ms Ormsby has not yet been charged.
Denpasar police said on Thursday they were still investigating the origin of the drugs, if anyone else was involved and the possibility Ms Ormsby was "more than just a user".
"No other arrest has been made other than the suspect Leeza Tracey Ormsby," spokesman Ida Bagus Sarjana said.
The chief of police in Denpasar will hold a media conference on the arrest on Friday morning.
Indonesia is renowned for heavy penalties for drug use.
Ross Bell, from the New Zealand Drug Foundation, said it was well known that drug laws in south-east Asia were some of the toughest in the world and Indonesian laws were some of the most "draconian in that region".
Cannabis is classed as a Group One drug in Bali, which means it is considered highly addictive and therefore dangerous.
Those found in possession of a Group One drug in Bali could receive a penalty of life imprisonment. Trafficking a Group One drug could lead to the death penalty.
Ms Ormsby was arrested only two days after convicted drug smuggler Schapelle Corby was released on parole after spending nine years imprisoned in Kerobokan prison.
The New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade was aware of the arrest, a spokesman said.
"The consul from the New Zealand embassy in Jakarta is providing consular support and has visited the New Zealander," he said.
The embassy's role was to monitor her welfare and ensure that she had the same rights as other detainees in Indonesia, he said.
The ministry could not comment on the investigation or interfere in the judicial proceedings of another country.
