Link: Naked Conversations: Revolting Rankings.
I just started reading Naked Conversations (the book) on the recommendation of a friend, and on its companion blog (?), found this interesting thread about bloggers who become obsessed with ratings and rankings, stats and traffic, to the exclusion of all else.
It strikes me as odd, putting the cart before the horse, in a community, an ecosystem, that professes to be more interested in what one has to say than who one is.
Has there been a shift? Has the blogosphere lost its sense of direction and gone the way of endless "tail-wagging-dog" pursuit of traffic and links, what used to be called (it's politically incorrect, of course) being a "blog slut" or a "blog whore?"
I sometimes see it as an obnoxious extension of high school, where far too many sheep are willing to ape and cluster around the "cool kids" and forget who they are in the process. In the blogosphere, it's the so-called "A-listers" (of course, each major community has its own A-listers, and crossing from business blogs to political blogs to tech blogs, you'll find the different A-listers don't even know other A-lists exist).
I'm like, dude, that is SO 2002! OK, so it's not, but 2002 was when I sort of fell into my own blog ratings obsession loop, back on Radio Userland. I was bored with it by 2003 and ready to write for myself instead of endlessly prostrating myself before a clique of A-listers.
I mean, I'm somebody who likes poetry, and literary non-fiction, and reading Harpers. Why wouldn't I be more interested in creating or linking to content that has a more timeless value, rather than content that only exists to ping Technorati at frequent intervals?
The whole frequent posting in a desperate quest to be able to say, along with Sally Field at the Oscars, "You link to me! You really link to me!" reminds me more of a famous psychological experiment with rats.
The rats have three control groups (if I remember correctly), one where pressing a bar delivers a bit of food, another where pressing a bar doesn't deliver food, and one where pressing the bar sometimes delivers food and sometimes doesn't. It's sort of like a Skinner box "reward and punishment" thing. What it found was that the rats who got or didn't get food behaved in fairly predictable ways, either using or ignoring the bar as suited them.
The rats who got what was called "inconsistent reinforcement" to the bar-pressing behavior drove themselves bonkers, however, pressing the bar madly, frantically, over and over, trying to get food out of it, way more food than the rat really needed to satisfy hunger.
Kinda makes you realize what sort of energy gambling casinos, and especially one-armed bandits, are harnessing.
So go on, y'all, pinging away, pressing your food bar. You can let it drive you crazy if you want. Me, I'm more interested in thinking and writing and linking about things that have more than a momentary value.
Link: Naked Conversations: Revolting Rankings.
Revolting Rankings
In his recent post, Revolting Peasant Metaphor, Sterling Camden at Chip's Quips hits a significant nail on the head of an issue I've written about a few times--over-ranking blog rankings. Beside that, I like his ambiguous use of the word "revolting."
Is he making it a verb or an adjective?
If 50 million bloggers all want to be top-rated, then the blogosphere becomes nothing more than a humongous shouting match. That seems to me, would be a pretty revolting development because it takes attention to the kind of rankings that are used by TV networks, and loses the power of the backyard fence conversation. In the former case, a bunch of slick people in nice suits uses every trick they can cook up to capture your eyeballs. In the latter, two folks build trust, credibility and an enduring relationship through simple, candid conversations.
If you want to be an A-Lister, there's lots you can do. First, enrich me by buying the book. It's filled with rank-boosting tactics: Post often. Be controversial. Link to Scoble, Arrington and someone at BoingBoing. Join every conversation at the top of the Technorati daily list. and at TechMeme.
This sounds pretty phenomenal until you realize all the people, all the people, all over the world who DON'T read either blog. In fact, every day [Scoble] and Arrington probably reach increasingly smaller percentages of the total blogosphere.
Case in point: why should political bloggers involved with Netroots organizing and citizen journalism give a crap about linking to two tech guys that have NOTHING to do with other A-lists?
I know there's some cross-over between these two spheres of the blogosphere, but I'm somewhat of the belief that the true grassroots of the blogosphere is in local (say, Bluestem Prairie, on Minnesota's First Congressional District) to global (like Riverbend, with compelling blogging from Baghdad) blogs about WAY more than the tech/biz/marketing community, and WAY WAY more than cat blogs or teenagers on MySpace.
But here Shel Israel says, "Why isn't EVERYONE reading Scoble? like the very idea begs the question. (I suspect he's saying it tongue-in-cheek, however)
The comments thread attached to Israel's post raises a number of good issues as well, so if you're really thinking about these ideas, go check it out.

Auger fingers play a critical role. They ensure a smooth feeding of material into the feeder house and due to their hardened surface they last longer even in toughest conditions with green straw or high yields. But nevertheless, if they are subject to heavy impacts, which can be caused by stones or other foreign objects they must break and not bend. Bent auger fingers can potentially cause wear on the finger guide as well as put additional load on the finger crank and auger driveline. In extreme cases a bent finger can even cause the auger skin to deform. John Deere auger fingers feature a breakaway groove, enabling them to fall back into the auger drum, preventing expensive damage to the platform and reducing repair, cost and downtime.

5 | James Monroe
April 28, 1758 ~ July 4, 1831 State: Virginia Religion: Episcopalian Marriage: Elizabeth Kortright Military service: Monroe served in the 3rd Virginia Regiment during the War for American Independence. He saw action at Trenton, Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth before reaching the rank of lieutenant colonel. Party: Democratic-Republican Term: March 4, 1817 -- March 3, 1825 Vice president: Daniel D. Tompkins Highlights of presidency: Enormously popular, Monroe was the last Revolutionary War veteran under arms to become president, and his time in office became known as the 'Era of Good Feelings.' In 1820, he delayed the Civil War by signing the Missouri Compromise, which admitted Missouri as a slave state, Maine as a free state and the Louisiana Territory split. He delivered a message to Congress in 1823, eventually called the Monroe Doctrine, warning European powers against intervention in the Western Hemisphere. Did you know? On Christmas night 1776, Monroe crossed the Delaware River with George Washington, and at the Battle of Trenton, was shot in the shoulder. He remains the only president to have been wounded by enemy fire.

Pajak Sacked for Offensive Forum Posts
Earlier this week, Republican operative Michael Pajak was hired as a deputy commissioner in the Department of Conservation by commissioner Bill Beardsley. Pajak served as Beardsley's campaign manager during his recent attempt at the GOP gubernatorial nomination.
Evidence posted in October at the blog AsMaineGoesLolz had suggested that Pajak was the man behind an online identity on the conservative-leaning As Maine Goes message board called The Distributist and that he had written a series of offensive and hateful forum posts using the pseudonym, often targeting gays and Muslims. At the time, I interviewed Pajak about the posts for a piece at Down East and he pointedly declined to deny having written them.
On Friday, soon after MPBN reporter Susan Sharon started asking questions about Pajak's online activities, it was announced that Pajak would no longer be filling the position.
I have a post on all this that will be up soon at Down East.
There's also a thread going on AMG that should provide for some enjoyable reading. I see I've already been compared to the Puritans and the Khmer Rouge,

wanting to try a virtual puppy under linuxmintppc
i have an elderly apple destop, powerpc architecture, [ppc]:
a g4, 466MHz, 902 mb ram; it runs well, silently with the fans disconnected. i was hoping to run a puppy on it as i've been
happy running pups on pc's.
while puppy's own powerppc port project matures i found another
linux on mac distro at mintppc.org which uses a minimal
debian install as a base for ppc port of linuxmint.
it is a fine, active, helpful distro, in my experience. the developer
knows and likes puppy. porting puppy to ppc is a big job. mintppc
seems like a good opportunity to try puppy as a guest os.
i looked at the qemupuppy pages and installed it to a usb stick
but have not been able to get it to run on the g4.
does anyone have any suggestions as to other emulators/virtualizers?
cheers, mm

got qemu running, no accelerator kqemu for ppc, so too slow to use.
virtualbox not run on ppc--learned the long way--
learned about 'chroot' which with 'debootstrap' can call and install a debian -sid- into virtual existence. it's cli at the moment with 'schroot' to help with config stuff.
i'm looking for away to put a puplinux .iso or .exe into that chroot process. mount iso from onboard location then chroot it, see what happens,,,
plan b--get a puplinux in .exe form--try running it in wine...cheers, mm

thanks for yr reply
if i remember rightly
i found the spec issue
compelling because on
closer reading vm was
not for ppc architecture,
g4 i'm running is ppc.
an iso as an exe,
wrap an exe around an iso
what do you think, 666philb?

hi mmmrr
Seen a few of your posts....also interestred in PPC Puppy, so thought this might be of interest
Perhaps there is common code in dpup, *buntu, and debian, to allow puppy code conversion....way over my head...
see also
or maybe Luci/Lupu and
good luck

hi aitch, i've seen a few of yr posts, too
thanks for the links. puppy to ppc is over my head. powerpup's
post of mid-sept 2010....
"And I think I've come to the conclusion that I can't exactly make (at least not easily with my skill,) a PPC port of Puppy Linux. Puppy Linux was designed for PCs in mind, emphasizing on old hardware support, and with the latest Puppy 5, being able to build Puppy with packages from x86 distros.
'Until the Puppy's building environment is improved for cross-platform support (Which would require Puppy Experts getting PPC hardware or something,) I think I should approach more of a "Puppy inspired OS for PPC."
"Thanks to the discovery of ttylinux posted by ChiJoan, I now have a candidate base OS to try to build PowerPup on.
For those interested in trying ttylinux out, I've remastered the CD so it will boot. http://powerpup.yi.org/ttylinux-powerpc-11.2.iso.gz (I've emailed the iso to Douglas, the maker of ttylinux, so he can put it on his site.)
"I might try some other distro as well, one that has caught my attention is Frugalware Linux, which at first was based on Slackware, but now they maintain their own repository of packages built straight from original sources. (The structure is still based on Slackware I think.)
Plus they maintain PPC binaries. Which will make my job easier. (Somewhat, I still need to learn how to make a minimal linux.)"
then he adds cruxppc to the list of possibles...http://cruxppc.org/
seems like a debianppc base is well used to build on in linux/ppc land
i use a snappy mintppc on a debian base, mintppc.org, but whether
a puppy can be built from debian's ppc packages, given puppy's focus
on pc hardware,,,,and the debian packages have to be for the ppc architecture,,,,dpup et al must be debian pc packages, otherwise
dpups wouldn't run on pc's, right?
anyway, there is a lot of will to see a ppcpuppy, powerpup says
having ppc hardware in the hands of puppy experts would help and
i wonder if having some sort of virtual ppc running in puppy would
be helpful, certainly be easier and cheaper than having a ppc.
for the meantime i'm still trying to find a way to run puppy under mintppc

maybe this will be useful?
VPC on PPC MAC here
Its a .dmg file, so presumably executable, then you'll need a .vmx of whatever you want to run
I posted a very old puppy.vmx, [somewhere...] but there's a howto here [which can be tweaked for later versions]
and playdayz did a couple...[later one had vmtools iirc]
also found this. in case anyone has oldskool macs
Have fun

thanks aitch,
those are nice links, the guy behind the first one, computerant, is the person who posted on the mintppc forum saying it would be interesting to try running dsl or puppy in qemu on mintppc.
however, i need a virtual machine which meshes with
linux on ppc rather than mac on ppc, the other links are for mac os as host, alas.
'comparison_of_platform_virtual_machines' on wikipedia has a list of virtual machines with info re: host cpu, guest cpu, host os, guest os...i've been looking at it quite a bit since a couple of earlier attempts failed because of incomplete match to ppc linux as host and pc linux as guest.
however, i have seen 3 emulators for the ppc architecture under pc linux, which might be useful for puppians wanting to have a test bed to try porting puppy to the ppc: pear pc, sheepsaver, qemu .
if my understanding is correct, any one of these would set up a virtual ppc sandbox on one's puppy. qemu would not be so slow because when it runs on a pc one can use its accelerators, such as kqemu.
some topic drift here, i wonder if it would be better to begin
a new thread--ppc emulation on puppy--?
cheers, mm

IMHO a bit of drift is OK, as it may just be something someone is looking for or interested in, or just triggers an 'Aha!' moment.....
Maybe this VM will be useful for mint?
Also Slax/slackintosh, with some good links, here
includes this...QEMU for Mac OS X, which some may find useful
so maybe big_bass's slack port/puppy will crossover?
[Joe, if you see hear of this...how about a TXZ to PPC MAC cross?...]
Couple/more other interesting links
There, ....now it's properly drifted.....

Post subject: further adventures
so far i have not found a way to run puppy under mintppc, except for qemu,
where ir is too slow to be usable. finding a virtual machine which will run a linux
as guest os with x86 guest cpu under a linux host on a ppc host cpu seems
virtually haha impossible.
chroot is designed to run the same kernel of the same distro inside itself for
testing and package building. there are some very clever people who can create
a chroot for another kernel/distro than the host but it always involves individual
case fine tuning at the command line. it was suggested by one such that i try building
another mintppc inside this one, as useful practice in the procedure.
well,,,i haven't been able to get a squashfilesystem [.sfs] unpacked to a directory on
mintppc after four hours of googling, reading, cli-ing.
so porting puppy to ppc may be the realistic way to go. the breakthrough there might
be a virtual machine which emulates the ppc architecture [and both sheepshaver and pearpc
do that] under actual ppc or actual x86. that would let prospective porters test and build
on the same machine.
if anybody has noticed something i seem to have missed, please don't hesitate to post
cheers, mm
edit...removing the chroot-sid i created in the course of this exercise is extremely frustating.
the chroot appears in my personal file, with a lock icon, so i'm not surprised to read that as i am
not the owner, i can make no changes!--shades of windows!--
turns out chroot is symlinked to /var/lib...no directions i could find in first 5 google hits re removal
suggested /var/* and the suggestions that i did find for deleting entries in '/etc/fstab' were useless because there were no relevant entries in /etc/fstab.
when i followed suggestions to 'umount' chroot elements the prompt came back with the info
that the elements were being used and could not be unmounted.
when i entered 'ps aux' to get a pid # to use with a kill command --and wow i was looking forward to that--there was nothing in the list like the files identified with the chroot.
when i tried kill by name, prompt told me the name wasn't a process...so i'm going to hose the
curse-curse-swear-swear system and reinstall mintppc. cheers, mm

Post subject: looking to run a virtual puppy under mac ppc
having made up my mind to reinstall mintppc to get rid of schroot experiment,
i saved data files but forgot about browser bookmarks/notes...
then began wandering around to see if there was any emulator-type
package in the debian testing and unstable repositories which i might have overlooked.
i was putting off the reinstall. mintppc is a fine piece of work but puppylinux
has spoiled me in several ways...a five minute install is one, always operating
with root privileges is another, being able to edit system files from the gui follows
from that i suppose.
anyway i stumbled onto user mode linux--UML--which is supported for ppc in debian
and has a useful looking website: /dev/loop.org.uk as well as a maintained spot on
sourceforge. it is supported in the linux kernel some kernels back. i think i'll have to post
a question there.
in the course the looking i found mention of a file '/etc/mstab' [where the things i could not
find in /etc/fstab - see previous post by me - ] where said things were sometimes to be found.
news to me so i hustled right over, there they were, the bindings which gave the busy/mounted/no-can-touch messages. i hosed those bindings pronto. the file icons vanished, except for one which
could not resist the remove command, though it tried.
i had forgotten to unmount it. the compu gave a blink as all data in /home re my use and settings vanished in the big remove...but no crash, no loss of wireless connection, unless the auto connect did its thing without me noticing.
since then i've up-rammed to 1.2 gb, re-jigged internal compu connections to set the original harddrive as slave [v. noisy, mac os x 2.* installed] and set the mintppc h-d as master.
the idea i have is to reduce the mintppc partition - mint = 6 gb/partition=150gb - then repartion the newly-vacated space,,,then try cloning the mac os x onto that quiet hard-drive where i can try using the built-in virtual pc app. to run puppy. on this machine. if the built-in virtual pc app. won't do it, then there are possibilities of a virtual machine to guest linux//x386 on host mac os x//ppc.
this system seems ever so slightly slower since the force-quit of the chroot removal: clicking on a close window button 'x' no longer is an instant vanishing-- but i'm not going to reinstall mintppc before trying the mac os move.
i'll have to switch the jumpers so that the mac drive is
master and the mint drive is slave, so that i can repartition from the macdrive while the mint drive is unmounted.
any comments or suggestions welcome, cheers, mm

Interesting site, that devloop one....it led me here
Demo video of it in use....not a great vid, but.....
Seems there are windoze/linux/PPCMAC & IntelMAC versions....
For cloning OSX try Superduper [free trial] (OSX 10.4/5)
or Carbon Copy (Also does OSX 10.2/3)
I don't know if there are the same problems cloning OSX as I've had with windoze, running live....so good luck

Post subject: harsh hours in compu-land
Subject description: see above
reset h-drive jumpers in compu box to set mac os x 10.2.8 as master, mintppc as slave...but i guess this mac won't read linux because the only place i can see the minttppc drive is in disk utility as a blank drive to be partioned. i was hoping for something like gparted where i could resize an unmounted partition. i learn that gparted is for pc only.
the built-in disk copy app repeatedly fails with an internal error
carbon copy cloner won't run on older than os x10.4
looks like version 3.0 [2007] ought to work
superduper copy tool starts then quits immediately, repeatedly
built-in virtual pc is requires original entry info: name, organisation, purchase number of virtual pc. i don't have it, don't know how to hack around it
so it's back to google for an cloning/copying app and a partitioning app to
run with os x 10.2.8, or mac os 9, also on this unit.
if i set mintppc to master and mac to slave, however, i can see mac files.
i better see if i can make a bootable image of the mac from the mintppc
side, where lots of good, fresh tools reside.
all for now, cheers, mm

Dude Perfect Try Trick Shots From a Moving Ferris Wheel
Well the Final Four this year was held in Atlanta, Georgia and Dude Perfect was along for the show. Actually, they had their own little competition going on outside the arena. The Capital One Ferris Wheel was the stage for the guys next hoop challenge. These trick shots are even more unbelievable than their Kyle Field tricks. As the guys like to say "Go Big"!
A moving Ferris Wheel seems like a perfectly logical place to shoot hoops from, right? Tyler thinks so. He jumps on the Ferris Wheel and starts making trick shots as the wheel rotates. Ok, so one person making the shot is pretty unbelievable but how about 2 people making shots? Can Dude Perfect pull this off or do they bust? Check out the video!

FIGs are organized to cover specific interests ranging from agriculture to zoology. Whether you have decided on a major or are looking around before making up your mind, there is probably a FIG for you. If you are interested in engineering, contact the College of Engineering about their Power Groups, a program similar to FIGs.
Becoming involved in campus life is a proven key to success in college. If you join a FIG, you'll make the most of your education through both organized and informal meetings with UW faculty members and other students. You'll find your place and identity within a large university.
For more information about FIGs, visit the FIG website.
Engineering floor residents are provided with programs to supplement their classes. Faculty, tutors and peer advisers provide academic support. A convenient computer lab that is connected to the College of Engineering computer network is available.
Students who are selected for the Honors Program are housed together in a residential community that offers interaction with other honor students and for a deeper knowledge of academic subjects. You should be enrolled in the Honors Program to live on these floors or in the Honors House.

Residents on single-gender floors establish an environment they support using a community-standard approach to develop policies, such as visitation and quiet hours.
Army ROTC Cadets get an unparalleled experience that provides them with opportunities to build lasting friendships. Students have the ability to live, work, and interact with peers in various functions whether recreational, ROTC, or university related. This environment has allowed Cadets to thrive as students, athletes, and future leaders.

Earlier today we reported on a leaked deal about an incredible discount for the PlayStation Vita. Now, it has been confirmed, along with a bunch of other details. - PSLS
Deal is now live. Link inside!
Oh dear lord that is amazing...
Agreed, if you don't have a Vita this it.
And act quickly, because:
"[Amazon] commented on fears that it would be low in stock and over in a flash:", "don't plan to wait six hours and still get your hands on one."
All this and 6 free games through free PS+?!
Ultimate Black Friday deal! :O
It's sad to see Sony as a company lowered to 'Junk' status today from 'Above Junk' weeks ago :
So yeah, need to order thy Vitas while it last folks. Happy blackest friday!
This is an ultimate deal. All Stars is freaking insane, Uncharted is amazing, Gravity Rush is stellar, AC: Liberation is second to none(Minus the glitch that can happen). Plus all the extra content. WipEouT 2048, FF Tactics is just a day one...there is still a ton of content from minis, PSP, and PS One classics that are also apart of PS+. This is the deal of a lifetime. Best handheld out now. I promise you, if you don't own a Vita, you don't know what you are missing. It's incredible.
I just got the deal before... the time lol around 15 minutes before. I also used a 50$ gift card so I got this deal for $145.51 total after tax. Christmas came early for me. :D
I'm a little hesitant. The price is amazing, but I wish it were a black Vita. The white one looks pretty ugly in my opinion (not a knock on the vita, just on white electronics in general).
It seems like a minor complaint, but part of the allure of the Vita (for me anyways) is the aesthetics of the hardware. There aren't any "I NEED THAT RIGHT NOW" games for it yet, though there are a few cool looking ones (gravity rush, playstation all stars), but none that are must owns, in my opinion.
I wouldn't hesitate on a black vita though.
Buy it. I'll trade you my black <3
haha just kidding.
Actually not really if you lived next door to me or something id be totally down. That white Vita is hawt.
You could always easily trade someone. There are plenty of people that would trade you a new black Vita for a white one.
I think they both look great but i bought the white one so my fingerprints wouldnt show much.
I went ahead and bought it. I'll see if I can get used to it, maybe it wont seem so ugly once I actually hold it.
If this was UK I would literally order one right now
Oh man I got a PS Vita right before this deal. I'mregretting it before there is $30 of extra content that I didn't get with my bundle AND it is $20 cheaper. This deal was sentby the gods! :P
Oh man I got a PS Vita right before this deal. I'm regretting it before there is $30 of extra content that I didn't get with my bundle AND it is $20 cheaper. This deal was sent by the gods! :P
Ha ha I just got mine just now! I'm so freaking happy man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow. This is by far the best deal on a PlayStation Vita you'll see until there's a price cut next year at E3. Incredible.
It's a testament to how poorly it's been selling here (there, everywhere).
This comment is a testament to your trolling ability
If it was a testament, more locations would have a bundle like this. Why limit the bundle to one store, if they are trying to generate sales on the Vita.
its a nice sale, I thought it was one month but three is amazing.
What's the betting that if I check your history you'll be one of those people that complained about the Vita being too expensive and in need of a price drop. If you need to fish for negatives then it's time to question yourself. It will serve you well in other aspects of your life too.
@ Gribblegrunger
On the other side of the coin, if you need to fiercely and blindly defend your video game purchases in order to validate yourself as a human being, you might be just as pathetic as the guy you're passing judgement on.
For an adult to have nothing better to do with his life is a little sad.
He's not doing it to validate himself as a human being. I feel like you showed up for the first day of psychology, then walked out, thinking you knew everything. So, you never came back.
"If you need to fish for negatives then it's time to question yourself."
Sort of like the way you fish for negative sony game reviews then turn it into some huge conspiracy of bias against sony. Right?
Questions indeed.
I hope they have a lot of stock, because this could shift some serious numbers.
Good point. Seems like the Amazon rep was implying that there were plenty of them to go around, but its still expected to sell out since the deal is too good to pass up.
If it's anything like the other Amazon deals that have been going on this week, it won't even last 20 minutes let alone the four hours they're keeping it live.
But I agree, I do hope Sony has kept them stocked up, because the PlayStation Vita could use some sales and a bigger install base. This might just be the key to that.
I wonder if they'll do one for the COD bundle too?
I'd rather they didn't tbh. CODBLOPS misrepresents the Vita, new gamers could be put off.
ACL's a pretty decent game, so it's a good title to promote how the Vita can do things mobiles can't.
Even if they have a lot, it will sell out very quickly.
What kills the deal is the need (especially if you want to install several games) to buy a larger memory card. A 32 GB is 80 bucks! I mean the bundle is phenomenal, but the damn memory cards are the bottleneck for me right now. Well....that and the lack of software for it that really catches my eye, though this bundle gives me a couple of games that I am interested in.
for the love of god, this is a tremensous deal.
why people are so cheap? jizzz!?
People endlessly whine about the price of the Vita memory cards yet gladly hand over $100 to Apple to upgrade from a 16gb to a 32gb iPad/iPod. Or you can get the real bargain and pay $100 to go from 32gb to 64gb. And that isn't even removable so you're stuck with what you buy.
Just because Apple overprices electronics doesn't mean it's okay, nor does it mean we should accept when other companies do so.
I think that the vita memory cards are overpriced and I only have an 8GB.
Your comment is moronic because you sound like some sort of blind fanboy, "well apple this and that Boo hoooooo."
I have no apple products and probably never will, unless the Iphone becomes the ONLY phone in the future(very likely), and I know that the vita memory card is overpriced.
Let me guess your response "well microsoft has rip of HD for xbox." Well that doesnt change that fact that the memory card prices are a rip off and you can pay 100$ for 32 gigs(AMAZON OFFERING IT FOR 80 DOESNT CHANGE THE msrp OF BEING 100$ EITHER).
But hey keep changing the subject to Apple being overpriced when ever someone mentions the FACT taht the vita memory card are a huge rip off.
you should also mention that people are lining up overnight for these apple products while sony cant move 3 million vitas in 10+ months. Maybe sony should stop pricing its memory card like its hot shit when its a failing product.
I haven't bought an Apple product since the Apple ][.
But back to the vita memory cards, they are only expensive if you compare them to the cheap off brand memory cards. Compared to the high quality brand name SD cards they aren't really that expensive. You can pay double the price of a 32gb vita card for a high end 32gb SDHC card.
I'm sure memory cards will be on sale by tomorrow as well. You don't need it though. The content manager for PC lets you wirelessly move games between your Vita and computer.
You can do this with Vita games?? o_o
I have a 32 gig, but it's already full now after the PS+ deals lol.
Sony is really giving it all. I just hope it won't end with these super great deals and announce more AAA games so potential buyers won't hesitate to invest on the vita.
Afternoon tomorrow bout to go to ToysRus to get 1 hmmmm what should I do.
This bundle is a joke and slap to the face of all the initial buyers of the vita. Theres a reason why the 3ds is outselling the vita 46 to 1. C.o.d couldnt save/help it. Why would sony think that kratos & co. Would be the one to keep a sinking ship a float. I heard even rats abandon a sinking ship. And before anyone thinks im calling anyone a rat IM NOT, all im saying is if a puny animal like that with a tiny little brain is smart enough to get the hell out before the ship sinks. Then no one should support this bundle until sony gives 1st time buyers a nice bonus like nintendo did for their 3ds 1st time buyers. I heard they gave like 20 free downloadable games away due to their price cut woe's.
It's Black Friday dude. There are always big deals.
Having brought mine the first week it doesn't insult me, and my face doesn't hurt. It's one retailer on black Friday having an amazing deal. Hardly anything new.
Agreed, I bought a Vita day one, and I'm happy to see other people getting a great deal on it. I paid to get it right away, those who couldn't had to wait, so they deserve to get it cheaper for sticking it out.
Anyway, great to see this'll probably help improve sales. It's such a great device...
I bought the intial first release for $349 & i just bought this bundle for $179 im happy about it too!
"This bundle is a joke and slap to the face of all the initial buyers of the vita."
And what would you say about Nintendos massive 80€ price drop on the 3DS?
" I heard they gave like 20 free downloadable games away due to their price cut woe's."
Sure Nintendo tried to fix this with an ambassador program but take into account that the Vita hasn´t received a global price drop yet by Sony which is why they dont have an apologetic program (aka: Ambassador program). And as for those 20 games they were mostly SNES and GBA titles Nintendo could have done a much better job with it.
"Boy, those 3DS sales sure fell off a cliff. So much so that Nintendo has instituted one of the swiftest and deepest price cuts for a handheld in recent memory.
The 3DS only went on sale earlier this year for $249, but as of August 12, it'll be slashed all the way down to $169.99. That's...wow."
This is one of the risks in buying a console at launch which is why some people wait a while before buying one. But if you do buy one at launch and a few months later you get screwed with a special deal from a retailer or a price drop the only one whose at fault is the consumer because its common knowledge that after a device comes out over time the price will decrease for it.
P.S I dont mean to offend Nintendo fans with this post but i thought it was a great example.
O.T This is a great deal and i only wished i waited a while before buying the Vita. But it isn´t a big deal because i have been enjoying my Vita since the first day that i bought it. If your interested in picking one up now is the time to do it with this bundle.
why did you pay for one if it was not worth the price too you? as other said this is a one day sale an only last for a few hours not a permanent price drop an it help promote the system too encourage more dev support so how this a bad thing???
They say "rats abandon a sinking ship" because disloyal people abandon things all the time. It's an idiom, dude.
Rats do not actually abandon sinking ships. They are unaware that the ship is sinking, most of the time.
sweet deal , it's hard to pass on this deal ,with the ps all stars and 3 months ps+ toss in with the deal, im tempted to buy one
How big is the download for PSABR? Would think the 4GB would be filled up after 1 download. Think i'll try and get this nonetheless though, and just get a bigger memory card.
it hurts to be an early adopter. I paid $250 for vita. $90 for rip off memory. $50 for psn plus. $20 for case
Why I don't live in USA???? OH MY GOD THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY ONCE IN A LIFETIME!!!
Apparently Amazon do Black Friday deals in other countries too, despite it being an American thing.
I know they do it for UK for example, although deals will, of course, vary in different territories, you may still pick up a bargain Vita bundle outside of USA :)
Fingers crossed for you!
Canada here. I'm looking at the deals, and no Vita :( Someone want to snag one for me?
Dude I'm in Canada and I just bought mine... Theres a 22 dollar import fee, but it's still worth it.
If only this deal was in Canada as well! I just bought one for 199$ and i would return it if we Canadians can get on this deal,but this is such an amazing deal.
ya im in Canada too and that import tax would kill, likely be around $270+
I really don't see why people keep going on about "early adopter" this and that. Pardon me, but NO SHIT.
It doesn't matter whether it's a Vita, a 360, or a car. Buying it at launch is gonna cost you more than somebody who bought it later. That's how it works.
I came home with my Vita the week after the early release. Am I bitching about these price cuts? Nope. That's the price I get for the privilege of having the system and access to its games and features as early as I do.
Get over it.
Dayum, what a steal. I paid $250 for just the Vita about 5 months ago. I'm satisfied with my purchase and all, but damn I should have waited for this.
I was going to buy liberation this week...for only $140 more I can get a shiny white Vita. OTOH I did just spend $600 on a Wii U and games with 2 games on reserve this week I haven't picked up yet. *sigh*
If i didnt have one im gonna buy now...this is a great deal its like having 7 games instantly for free with a cheaper price tag and of course a memory card
Best time to get a vita! Take advantage of this
great deal for americans I guess.
Although PS+ and 4GB just doesn't match at all...
I'll definitely be taking advantage of this deal. I'm guessing it's tomorrow too? They don't give a specific date.
Damn It!! Just got back from target with that bundle :(
Dang, If I did not already own a PSVITA, this would be it.

You recently transferred to a plant with high rates of circuit board failure. Last week, a manufacturer's rep asked, "Are you using these for fuses over there?" The worst news came yesterday when a manufacturer said they had no spares left to send you. This means replacing the entire system, and that's a capital project headache you must fast track because the machine makes a part for a critical customer.
Your job depends on fixing this as quickly as possible. Where should you start?
Power quality problems are highly suspect here. Look for violations of the NEC Chapter 3 wiring methods and Art. 250, Part V, to solve them. One plant reduced astronomical rates of circuit board failure to zero. Among the solutions implemented were:
- Connect internal strap in distribution transformers.
- Rewire 480V circuits that were split into different raceway.
- Remove plastic couplings from EMT runs.
- Replace paralleled conductors of different sizes with same-sized ones.
- Remove all indoor ground rods, and bond equipment to the equipment grounding (bonding) system.
Can you locate the NEC requirements for these solutions? If not, you need to spend "power quality time" with the NEC.

What are the specifications for the DM-10?
What are the main features of the DM-10?
The DM-10 is a combination digital voice recorder/music player/mass storage device. With 64 MB of built-in Flash memory it is capable of 22 hours of recording time or up to an hour of CD quality music downloaded and played in the MUSIC Mode. It can also function as a mass storage device (�jump� drive) to transfer files from one computer to another. The kit contains a USB Docking Station and DSS Player software for downloading files to a computer and managing and archiving audio files. The combination microphone/earphone jack accommodate earphones and accessory microphones.
Can the DM-10 be used on a Macintosh computer?
The DM-10 is bundled with a DSS Player software CD that contains DSS Player for Mac software. DSS Player for Mac is compatible with Mac OS 9 or later versions. Downloadable software updates are available at http://www.olympusamerica.com/
How are CD music tracks imported into the DM-10 using a Macintosh computer?
To create music files that can be imported into a DM-10, the CD tracks must be ripped into the iTunes music library as mp3 files and dragged and dropped into the DM-10.
What is the DSS audio format?
Digital Speech Standard (DSS) is a proprietary audio compression format jointly developed by Olympus, Philips, and Grundig. DSS compresses audio files approximately twelve times, so it is an ideal format for transferring files by email. The DSS compression format also extends the length of recording time on the DM-10s' Flash memory due to the smaller file sizes.
What music formats does the DM-10 accept?

The DM-10 will accept Windows Media Audio (WMA) and mp3 format audio files.

How are music files imported into the DM-10 using a Windows computer?
Note: The following instructions pertain to Windows Media Player version 11, which is available as a free upgrade from Microsoft. This version will also be included standard with the Windows Vista operating system.
Windows Media Player will transfer the music tracks into the DM-10. When the sync is completed, a display will show how much free memory remains in the recorder.
I want to clear my recorder of all of the loaded files. How do I format the recorder?
The recorder should be formatted only by using the internal Format function found in the recorder's Menu. Formatting using the computer may corrupt system files needed to run the recorder, so computer formatting is not recommended. Individual files can be deleted using the computer with no negative effects.
Can I rename my files when they are displayed in My Computer?
Files in the DM-10 should not be renamed when displayed in My Computer because the recorder's file-management software may not be able to find the renamed file. If a file is to be renamed, it should be done in a folder prior to being added to the Windows Media Player Library or in Windows Media Player prior to syncing the music to the DM-10.
How should the recorder be disconnected from a Windows computer?
Any USB device should be disconnected from a Windows computer using the [Safely Remove Hardware] button located in the taskbar in the lower right corner of the Desktop screen. The button's icon features a green arrow pointing to the lower left over a device.
Any open files should be closed before starting the disconnect process. Simply removing the device from the USB port without using the recommended disconnect procedure can result in corrupted files or firmware.
Double-clicking on the [Safely Remove Hardware] icon opens a dialog box to shut down the USB connection so the device can be safely disconnected.
Clicking on the [Stop] button launches another dialog box to confirm the devices that are to be stopped. Clicking the [OK] button closes the USB connection.
The Desktop screen will display a message balloon above the taskbar indicating that it is safe to disconnect the hardware.
How should the recorder be disconnected from a Macintosh computer?
Any USB device should be disconnected from a Macintosh computer by dragging the [Untitled] drive icon that represents the device into the trash. Simply removing the device from the USB port without using the recommended disconnect procedure can result in corrupted files or firmware.
How is the Flash memory shared by the voice and music folders?
The DM-10 has 64 MB of Flash memory. The dictation folders and music folders share the 64 MB of available memory. If the music folder is using 50 MB of memory, 14 MB are left for other purposes. The recorder can also be used as a mass storage device ("jump" drive) to transfer files from one computer to another. It is seen in My Computer as a Removable Disk drive.
How much recording time is available in the DM-10?
The length of the potential recording time available in the DM-10 is governed by the quality mode that is selected. When a quality mode is selected, a number of audio file properties are put into place that determine the level of detail of the saved file data. A higher-quality data file saves more detailed information and creates a larger data file that uses more memory space. A lower-quality recording makes a less-detailed data file, so the memory goes a lot farther. The table below shows the maximum recording times possible (assuming there are no other files saved on the recorder).
The different quality modes save the digital record of the recording with different levels of faithfulness to the original sound. The Stereo HQ Mode is recommended for music, drama, or interviews that may be made for broadcast. Stereo HQ (High Quality) Mode makes a very detailed digital record of the sound and uses a very wide frequency range that uses up the available Flash memory very rapidly. Lower-quality modes, such as SP (Standard play) and LP (Long Play), make a less detailed digital record of the sound and use a narrower frequency range and use up the available Flash memory much more slowly. These modes would be used for audio note-taking or recording college lectures or seminars in which large content is more important than high audio quality.
What does SRS WOW do in the MUSIC Mode?
SRS WOW is audio technology that uses the scientific principles of psychoacoustics to create a psychological impression of the music players' sound space.
SRS 3D (Sound Retrieval System) enhances the surround sound effects. TruBass gives the impression of bass "punch" in earbuds without using a subwoofer. Both effects have HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW and OFF settings.
What does the USER EQ function do in the MUSIC Mode?
The USER EQ (User Equalizer) function is a graphic equalizer to further customize the recorders' sound space. USER EQ allows the user to select from several audio environments that create variations in the emphasis of different frequency ranges. USER EQ allows the user to select a frequency band using the [REW] and [FF] buttons. The band options in USER EQ are 60 Hz, 250 Hz, 1 kHz, 4 kHz, and 12 kHz.
I recorded a file and the battery ran out. Now I can't play or find the file. Why?
When a recording session begins, a file is created to contain the incoming audio content. This file remains open throughout the session until the recording is manually stopped. If the recorder lasts longer than five minutes, the recorder will save the audio content at five-minute intervals.
If the battery runs out during a recording session, only the portion of the recording that has been saved will be available for retrieval. For example, if a recording session is interrupted by power loss at the 37th minute, the audio file of the recording will contain only the first 35 minutes worth of content. The remaining two minutes worth of content is not available because it was never saved to the file. In the case of recordings that are shorter than five minutes, the entire recording will be lost because the file is not able to close due to the lack of power.
It is crucial to change the battery once the battery indicator shows only one hash mark of power remaining. Removing the battery while the recorder is in use may also corrupt a file.
How long do the batteries last?
Two AAA alkaline batteries will run a DM-10 in the recording mode for approximately 15 hours and in the playback mode for approximately 9 hours.
What is VCVA?
Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) is a function that sets up the recorder to record only when sound is detected at a preset level. This extends recording time by not recording "dead air" or background noise that can use up memory.
The function is activated from the recorder's menu. When it is activated, "VCVA" appears on the LCD screen.The threshold loudness level is set during recording by pressing the [REW] button to lower the level or the [FF] button to raise the level. There are 15 VCVA levels.
When the ambient sound drops below the threshold level, the recorder will not detect it.One second after the recorder fails to detect any sound, it will stop recording and display "STANDBY" on the LCD screen.
When sound is detected, the LCD screen shows the recording level graph.
How is recording volume controlled?
The DM-10 always records at 100% volume level to prevent accidentally recording with the volume set too low
The recorder has two microphone sensitivity levels:
Microphone sensitivity is set via the [MIC SENSE] function in the recorder Menu.
How is playback volume controlled?
The playback volume is controlled during playback using the [+] (plus) and [-] (minus) buttons on the Volume rocker switch on the right side of the recorder. [+] increases the playback volume. [-] reduces the playback volume.
Can the playback speed be controlled?
Pressing the [PLAY] button once during playback increases the playback speed by 50%. Pressing the [PLAY] button a second time decreases the speed by 25%. Pressing [PLAY] during low-speed playback returns playback to the normal speed.
What are Index Marks?
Index Marks are tags that can be inserted while recording or during playback. They are used to skip forward or backward in recordings to pre-selected points. Up to 16 Index Marks can be added to a single file.
How are dictation files erased?
To erase a selected file, press the [ERASE] button. "FILE ERASE?" flashes on the display for approximately 8 seconds. While "FILE ERASE?" is still flashing, press the [ERASE] button again. "ERASE DONE" is displayed when the file is erased. File numbers will be reassigned automatically. Locked files cannot be erased.
To erase all files in a folder, select the folder and press the [ERASE] button for 3 seconds or longer. "ALL ERASE?" flashes on the display for approximately 8 seconds. While "ALL ERASE?" is still flashing, press the [ERASE] button again. "ERASE DONE" is displayed when the files are erased. Locked files are reassigned file numbers in ascending order.
How is the recorder turned off?
The [HOLD] switch is the recorders' ON/OFF switch.
Will using an accessory microphone with an extended frequency range improve the quality of my recordings?
Using an accessory microphone with an extended frequency range may not improve the quality of the recordings in a DM-10. The recorder has an overall frequency response of 300 Hz to 8,000 Hz, but the different quality modes modify the detail of the saved file data by saving some frequencies and discarding others. This is how the recorder varies the potential recording time and uses the built-in Flash memory more efficiently.
The table below shows the overall frequency response in the different quality modes:
The different quality modes save the digital record of the recordings with different levels of faithfulness to the original sound. The Stereo HQ mode is recommended for music, drama, or interviews that may be made for broadcast. Stereo HQ (High Quality) Mode makes a very detailed record of the sound and uses a wide frequency range that uses up the available Flash memory very rapidly. Lower quality modes, such as SP (Standard Play) and LP (Long Play), make a less detailed digital record of the sound and use a narrower frequency range and use up the available Flash memory much more slowly. These modes would be used for audio note taking or recording college lectures or seminars in which large content is more important than high audio quality.
I am trying to use a monaural accessory microphone with the DM-10, and it's not working. Why?
If an accessory monaural microphone is plugged into the DM-10 without setting the recorder to Monaural External input, the accessory microphone will not work and the built-in recorder microphone will remain enabled.
To set a DM-10 for use with a monaural accessory microphone, use the following procedure:
This setting must be entered every time a monaural microphone is connected or the recorder is powered up.Disconnecting the monaural microphone discards the setting. [MONAURAL INPUT] status cannot be saved as a default setting.
What are the operating system requirements for the DM-10?
The DM-10 is supported by Windows 98/98SE/ME/2000 Professional/XP Professional and XP Home Edition. The DM-10 is not compatible with Windows XP 64 bit.
The DM-10 is supported on Macintosh computers by Mac OS 9.0 or later. It is not supported on Intel Macs.
Is there an AC adapter for the DM-10?
The DM-10 uses the AC Adapter A321 in countries with 120 VAC current and the AC Adapter A322 in countries with 220 VAC current.

The 2009 Budget adopted by the Library Board on December 18, 2008 allows the Library to continue to offer the open hours and services our patrons need and are using now more than ever as they struggle to manage household budgets during what's shaping up as the most serious economic downturn since the great depression. Like many patrons, the Library's "household budget" is strained by reduced county and state support. An overview and summary of the strategies recommended to address these needs are presented below.
Click here to view the full 2009 Adopted Budget Document (PDF)
2009 Erie County Operating Budget Adopted: On December 9th the Erie County Legislature voted to override County Executive budget vetoes and finalized their changes to the County's 2009 budget. The budget addresses a significant fall off in sales tax revenue growth and increased mandated social service costs directly related to the financial and economic downturn in the U.S. and many other countries. As reported previously, the budget does not continue the $1.6 million service restoration funding approved by the County Legislature in 2008. State aid supporting the operating budget is now estimated to fall a further $0.24 million or more since the budget request was submitted earlier this year ($0.36 million from the original 2008 adopted budget).
Two-year Plan to Address County and State Budget Reductions: Fortunately the Library's financial position is sound, with sufficient projected available fund balance to allow implementing a logical financial plan to address the proposed reductions while continuing to address key initiatives and maintaining quality library services throughout the entire Library System.
This plan includes the following initiatives and adjustments:
1. Converting our existing materials handling, inventory, circulation and security system operations to a much more efficient RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) based system in phases over the next several years. The first phase would convert 51% of the Library's collection housed in the Central, Buffalo branch and Amherst Libraries using funds from an Erie County Fiscal Stability Authority (ECFSA) efficiency grant, which would provide the opportunity to use technology to improve public service and achieve staffing savings realized as attrition occurs. Pursuant to Executive Committee adopted Resolution 2008-54, the application was developed; County administration support obtained; a County Legislature resolution of support was adopted December 4th; and the application for a $1.7 million grant has been submitted for ECFSA review. Once implemented, the grant funded project phase would generate recurring savings estimated at over $500,000 per year.
2. Adjusting expense projections to reflect changed circumstances since the 2009 budget request was submitted. These include lowering expense projections for retirement and health insurance expense to reflect lower projected usage and rates not available at the time the budget request was prepared; lowering utility cost estimates to reflect the significant decline in energy demand and prices resulting from reduced economic activity and lowering other operating cost estimates to reflect lower anticipated price changes.
3. Adjusting revenue projections to further reduce anticipated state aid recognizing the worsening economic downturn's impact on state revenue.
4. Reducing staff positions system-wide over 2 years by attrition; reallocating and redeploying staff to turnover generated vacancies which will also increase turnover savings.
5. Conducting a system-wide staffing evaluation and assessment; leading the way to developing models for sharing staff resources, and thereby easing the transitions caused by attrition-based staffing reductions.
6. Enlisting the assistance of contracting library directors and ACT (Association of Contracting Libraries Boards of Trustees) board members, branch managers, administrators and department heads to restructure our organization; seek alternate revenue streams; and rethink the way in which we provide services and handle internal administrative responsibilities.
7. Using the unencumbered fund balance in excess of the 5% threshold for contingency to help cover the costs of services and staff during the transition.
Barring significant additional reductions, these actions will enable the Library to maintain open hours and service levels at all of our locations as we restructure while avoiding "out-the-door" layoffs. This approach positions the Library well to make the case for future support from the legislature and the County Executive as additional help will be needed in 2010 and beyond.
The budget document includes a summary schedule of recommended budget balancing changes by account followed by resolution 2008-57 and related budget charts and schedules.

I worry, and hope that I'm wrong, that Fabio is going to be out of money sooner rather than later.
Personally, I think this is hilarious! A DUI on a skateboard. Just seem pretty ridiculous to me and looks worse for the Santa Monica Police Dept to me.If you didnt know that Fabio was a stoner by the end of the first episode.....where have you been living? He just said so many dumb things at the first and did dumb things. As time passed and he proceeded further through "Surivivor Rehab", his speech got better, his physical coordination got better and the really started thinking better.........
I hope Rob will talk about this in the podcast...It will be such a funny topic.

Associated Press picture from CNN News of Henry VIII. "Palace ghost caught on camera." Dec 19, 2003. (Hampton Palace, London)
The official Ghost Meter of many ghost clubs in America!
Aside from a camera, the most basic tool for a ghost hunter is the EMF meter. When ghostly activity takes place, electromagnetic anomalies often occur in the environment. This meter can allow you to detect these disturbances.
Find hot spots in homes! In cemeteries! In buildings! We guarantee that an evening visit to a cemetery with the meter is an experience that will thrill you! Go in a small group and you will have a lot of fun and some!
Conduct paranormal surveys (comes with instructions). You may charge for those services or do them for pleasure!
Though we use language that is fun and casual, The Ghost Meter is an accurate instrument devoted to high quality Paranormal activity. Each one is individually calibrated.
Even though you may experience nothing via your physical senses, if you take a photo when he Ghost Meter indicates a strange fluctuation, you can sometimes capture a picture of a ghost!
The CellSensor Ghost Meter measures paranormal cell activity. It is wonderful for several reasons: It's lightweight and compact. It has a needle readout and an adjustable audio tone, allowing you to use it in the dark or without looking at it. Also a light so you can monitor from far away!
At a haunted location, strong, erratic, fluctuating readings are commonly found. It seems these energy fields have a connection to the presence of ghosts. When you find a strange, inconsistent reading, that's a great time to make a photo of the area. The developed print may show an apparition.
This is the official meter of many Ghost Clubs! If you search www.google.com and look for 'ghost pictures' or 'ghost hunts' you will finds thousands of clubs and ghost pictures worldwide! Have fun and do not be afraid…most ghosts are friendly! A great gift!
Typical Investigation report:
This picture is from an investigation done in a very rural area around Columbus GA., a single lane dirt road (Whitesville Rd.) there are three wooden bridges, very rickety and no guard rails, very dangerous, one is referred to as "Crybaby Bridge" there are several different stories all having to do with children drowning off the bridge and their mother not able to save them, supposedly at night the sound of children crying can be heard and splashes in the water but no ripples and some have seen a entity of a woman walking the banks of the creek looking for her children, all of the locals had stories of strange goings on in the area and a couple said that they believed it was because of an Indian burial ground there and not the other story, sorry that was long and drawn out I just wanted to give you some history.
When we arrived there my meter was going crazy, it sometimes completely pegged off the scale, using the probe I could follow the source which was moving, it did follow the creek and only the creek, we also documented temperature drops from 78F down to 39F and could see our breath, it was a very muggy warm night. all of the pictures were taken in the direction that the probe was detecting activity!
Some ideas:
Have a paranormal party. Have some people visit a graveyard at night, take pictures when the meter detects activity and later look at the pictures. You will be amazed at what you find! These parties are exciting, great get togethers and they really unite all scared members! A real ice breaker!
Or not just graveyards but also places were paranormal activity is suspected...do not forget that 98% of all people who have lived are now passed...so there are many graveyards that are now buildings! Also creeks, meadows, wooded areas are favorite paranormal places. Are you having trouble sleeping? Check your bedroom with our meter!
CNN STORY: "The ghostly figure appears to be in period dress."
Palace 'ghost' caught on camera
Friday, December 19, 2003 Posted: 1:54 PM EST (1854 GMT)
LONDON, England (AP) -- Are there ghostly goings-on at Henry VIII's palace, or is that hazy image of a fellow in fancy robes just a bit of Christmas cheer?
Closed-circuit security cameras at Hampton Court Palace, the huge Tudor castle outside London, seem to have snagged an ethereal visitor. Could it be a ghost?
"We're baffled too -- it's not a joke, we haven't manufactured it," said Vikki Wood, a Hampton Court spokeswoman, when asked if the photo the palace released was a Christmas hoax. "We genuinely don't know who it is or what it is." Wood said security guards had seen the figure in closed-circuit television footage after checking it to see who kept leaving open one of the palace's fire doors.
In the still photograph, the figure of a man in a robe-like garment is shown stepping from the shadowy doorway, one arm reaching out for the door handle. The area around the man is somewhat blurred, and his face appears unnaturally white compared with his outstretched hand.
"It was incredibly spooky because the face just didn't look human," said James Faukes, one of the palace security guards. "My first reaction was that someone was having a laugh, so I asked my colleagues to take a look. We spoke to our costumed guides, but they don't own a costume like that worn by the figure. It is actually quite unnerving," Faukes said.
The palace, built in 1525 on the River Thames 10 miles west of central London, is a popular tourist attraction and some of the guides wear costumes of the Tudor period.
Wood said she was hoping people would come forward with similar stories and try to explain the figure. The palace has been the scene of many dramatic royal events, and already is supposed to have a few ghosts. King Henry VIII's third wife, Jane Seymour, died there giving birth to a son, and her ghost is said to walk through one of the cobbled courtyards carrying a candle.
Her son, Edward, had a nurse called Sibell Penn who was buried in the palace grounds in 1562. In 1829 her tomb was disturbed by building work, and around the same time an odd whirring noise began to be heard in the southwest wing of the palace. When workmen traced the strange sounds to a brick wall, they uncovered a small forgotten room containing an old spinning wheel, just like the one Penn used to use.
Henry's fifth wife, Catherine Howard, condemned for adultery, was held at the palace under house arrest before her execution at the Tower of London. An 1897 book about the palace says she was reportedly seen, dressed in white and floating down one of the galleries uttering unearthly shrieks.

Our friends at People for Bikes are always hard at work to improve the future of cycling and are big supporters of National Bike Month. They love events like Bike to Work Week (May 14-18), Bike to Work Day (May 18), and the first Bike to School Day (May 9). So we asked them to put together a few ideas that you could try to make National Bike Month a success in your community.
As many of you already know, May is National Bike Month. With longer, milder days, May is a perfect time to recognize bicycling for the multitude of benefits it provides – improving America's health, economy, and environment. Here are four ways to make the most of this year's National Bike Month:
1) Go for a type of bike ride that you normally wouldn't: If you're a road rider, try a mountain bike ride. If you've never ridden your bike to work, give bike commuting a shot. If the ride to work isn't something you can tackle, ride your bike to run an errand you would normally do by car, even if it's just a trip to the coffee shop or ice cream parlor. Remember—forty percent of trips Americans take are two miles or less, an easy bicycling distance.
2) Sign up for the National Bike Challenge and ride with thousands of Americans from around the country. This first of its kind challenge is being promoted by the Kimberly Clark Corporation, Bikes Belong, and the League of American Bicyclists to encourage healthier lifestyles and will run from May through August.
3) Introduce one other person to bicycling. Whether it's your partner, a coworker, a family member, or just a friend, help someone find a bike and go for a fun ride. Bicycling is a pretty amazing thing, right? Why not encourage someone else to discover the activity that brings you so much happiness.
4) Sign the PeopleforBikes.org pledge. PeopleForBikes.org is the movement dedicated to improving the future of bicycling. Already, half a million people have signed the pledge. It is free and only takes a quick minute to sign. Joining PeopleForBikes.org is a way for bicyclists in this country to speak with one powerful, united voice to ask for more safe places to ride a bike. By signing the pledge at www.PeopleForBikes.org, Americans can raise public awareness and demonstrate a commitment to our leaders in Congress and in cities and states throughout the country that bicycling is important and should be protected.
This May and this summer should be an amazing time for bicycling in America. An increasing percentage of our national leaders recognize bicycling as a simple solution for transportation challenges, jobs and economic development, and health and obesity issues. Communities are investing in bike lanes and paths more than ever, helping bicycling to become safer and stress-free. PeopleForBikes.org encourages Americans to take advantage of these new places to ride and to not only participate in National Bike Month, but to also incorporate bicycle trips into their daily routines.

Hi Frankie,
I just joined Tennisopolis, but am at your level (ex tournament player, not played for years, just getting back to the game) or close, and am looking for some hitting partners if you are still interested. I can do some evenings, Saturdays and some Sundays. Weds are variable. Let me know? Anne-christine
Hi Alvin.
I just joined Tennisopolis, an am an ex college - semipro tournament player (or was, many years ago now) but have not played for years. I'm just getting back to the game and am looking for some 4.0+ hitting partners in the Berkeley or Oakland area if you are available. I have time durring the week during the days before 2, and some later afternoon/early evenings, and Saturday day. Hope to hear from you.

Here's a fun craft activity to make ... Monster Stompers! Kids can play with these inside or outdoors. What is more fun than pretending to be a Monster and getting exercise at the same time. Quick and easy craft.
Items needed:
- Empty plastic coffee containers -2 (we used Large Folgers coffee containers) Other containers can be used but make sure they are sturdy enough to hold the child that will be using the Monster Stompers.
- 12 wine corks or other suitable objects to be used for monster toes
- Paint & brush
- Ice pick (used by adult only!)
- Strong, smooth cord or thin rope
- Strong glue or glue gun (adult use only)
- Paint monster toes and container whatever colors desired. Obviously, there are all colors of monsters out there, so lots of choices here! Containers can either be painted by hand or spray painted. Let dry.
- Poke a hole into both sides ( about an inch from top) of container. Hole should not be any wider than diameter of cord you will be using.
- Determine length of cord by first having your child stand up straight and holding his fists in front of his thighs, arms straight. Measure distance to floor and then double this figure. Add about 8 extra inches to allow for tying inside of container.
- Insert one end of cord into container, from the outside. Knot off inside securely. Repeat with other side.
- If you used a coffee container, you can now glue the original top onto what is now the bottom of the monster stomper.
- Glue toes in place and let dry.
- As with any physical activity, observe your child to make sure he can use the stompers. (Lift feet and monster feet at same time to stomp! Also, make sure your child is old enough for this type of play.
