These Amazon Products Are No Joke, But the Online Reviews Are
Whether on Books About Random Digits Or Toilet Seats, Everybody's a Comedian
What is it about the book "A Million Random Digits With 100,000 Normal Deviates" that brings out the wiseguy in people?

Rand Corp.'s 600-page paperback, which delivers exactly what it promises, sells for $64.60 on Amazon.com. AMZN 1.00 % Yet 400 people have submitted online Amazon reviews, most of them mocking the 60-year-old reference book for mathematicians, pollsters and lottery administrators.
"Almost perfect," said one reviewer. "But with so many terrific random digits, it's a shame they didn't sort them, to make it easier to find the one you're looking for."
Five stars from this commenter: "[T]he first thing I thought to myself after reading chapter one was, 'Look out, Harry Potter!' "
Several reviewers complained that while most of the numbers in the book appeared satisfactorily random, the pages themselves were in numerical order.
Amazon's online superstore has become the unlikely stage for 21st-century amateur comedy, where thousands of customers have submitted reviews for products ranging from the self-explanatory explanatory book "How to Avoid Huge Ships" to the Hutzler 571 banana slicer, a yellow plastic banana-shaped device that cuts bananas into even slices.
Rand said its long list of random numbers, first published in 1955, is one of its all-time best sellers. "It's a tool of some sort, but it's beyond my clear understanding," a Rand spokesman admitted.
One Amazon reviewer panned a real-life copycat publication called "A Million Random Digits THE SEQUEL: with Perfectly Uniform Distribution." "Let's be honest, 4735942 is just a rehashed version of 64004382, and 32563233 is really nothing more than 97132654 with an accent."
"We are always amazed by the creativity of our customers," said an Amazon spokeswoman.
The late John W. Trimmer's earnest guide to maritime safety, "How to Avoid Huge Ships," won a prize for oddest title of 1992 and is now out of print. Online, though, it's the gift gag that keeps on giving.
"Reads like a whodunit," said one five-star reviewer, joking "I bought 'How to Avoid Huge Ships' as a companion to Capt. Trimmer's other excellent titles: 'How to Avoid a Train' and 'How to Avoid the Empire State Building.'" More than 1,500 people said that review helped them decide whether to buy the book.
"Saved My Life and My Sanity," praised a 2012 reviewer. "For about 8 months now I have noticed that a huge ship has been stalking me…I was fearful because my parents were killed by a big ship when they went out one day 4 years ago to walk the dog, and I have nightmares about it to this day."
That reviewer gave the book four out of five stars. "I do have to deduct a star because this book did not come out in time to save my parents."
Many "Huge Ships" shoppers also viewed "The 2009-2014 Outlook for Wood Toilet Seats in Greater China," a $495 e-book by Icon Group International, which publishes computer-generated market reports.
"I was thinking, 'Sweet! Finally a version of Outlook that will run on my wooden Chinese toilet seats!!'" wrote one disappointed reviewer. "Little did I know this has **NOTHING** to do with Outlook for Windows or any other Microsoft MSFT 0.35 % product."
Putative buyers of the "Fresh Whole Rabbit" ($45.90) appear taken aback by what arrives in the mail. "It's Dead!" complained a California reviewer. "I bought this for my kids since they wanted a bunny for Easter…They cried the whole day and it really made the Easter Egg hunt a downer…It may have been alive when it was first packed but the box didn't have any holes in it."
Philippe Desandre, French-born chairman of the rabbit purveyor, LeVillage.com, suspects animal-rights activists are behind the flurry of comments and photos posted to the Los Angeles company's Amazon page. "It's because in America rabbit is considered a pet, which is not the case in Europe," he said.
Nearly 11,500 people found helpful this three-star review of the Images Scientific Instruments Uranium Ore sample: "I purchased this product 4.47 billion years ago and when I opened it today, it was half empty."
John Iovine, president of the Staten Island company, has adopted an any-buzz-is-good-buzz attitude toward the endless radiation jokes. "After 100 or 200 [reviews], you just have to give in and just let it go," he said.
Besides, an Amazon manager wrote Mr. Iovine congratulating him for his uranium's "cult status."
The Hutzler 571 banana slicer—which can be pressed onto a banana to slice even pieces—has generated 4,000 reviews. "I had to return this product because it is only for bananas that curve to the right and I can only find bananas that curve to the left," a one-star reviewer complained.
"Imagine my disappointment when I opened the box to discover that they hadn't sent the power cord," wrote another. "This may be the best thing since sliced beer, but I have no way of knowing."
A more favorable comment from a customer identified as Mrs. Toledo: "What can I say about the 571B Banana Slicer that hasn't already been said about the wheel, penicillin, or the iPhone."
"For decades I have been trying to come up with an ideal way to slice a banana," said one customer. "'Use a knife!' they say. Well…my parole officer won't allow me to be around knives. 'Shoot it with a gun!' Background check…HELLO!"
Monique Haas, vice president of family-owned Hutzler Manufacturing Co., in Canaan, Conn., said when the design team came up with the 571, she wondered whether the world needed another way to cut bananas. She came around after her children test-drove the $3.59 device. It hasn't hurt that the wiseguy reviews have boosted Hutzler's sales among wiseguys.
The sharpest-edged consumer sarcasm seems reserved for the thin-barreled BIC Cristal For Her Ball Pens.
"The delicate shape and pretty pastel colors make it perfect for writing recipe cards, checks to my psychologist (I'm seeing him for a case of the hysterics), and tracking my monthly cycle," wrote one reviewer. "Obviously, I don't use it for vulgar endeavors like math or filling out a voter application, but BIC Cristal for Her is a lovely little writing utensil all the same. Ask your husband for some extra pocket money so you can buy one today!"
A package of 16 sells for $13.12.
"We continue to be intrigued by the conversation that surrounds the BIC for Her line and are always interested in hearing consumer feedback about our products," said BIC USA spokeswoman Jill Johnson.

Normally this time of year, the spirit of giving is evident in Sabreland and other NHL cities. Salvation Army volunteers ring their bells outside arena doors. Players' wives sell autographed ornaments in the concourses.
The good deeds have been replaced by the threat of union dissolution and another lost season.
Members of the NHL Players' Association voted, 706-22, to allow their executive board to file a disclaimer of interest, numerous reports said Friday. Union leaders have until Jan. 2 to decide whether they want to walk away from their role as the representative of the players. If they do, it would leave the NHL without a bargaining partner and open to antitrust lawsuits.
NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly has said such a move could lead to the cancellation of the season. The union declined comment.
The lockout has impacted legions of people since September. Charitable organizations are not exempt, especially the Buffalo Sabres' foundation.
The foundation's main fundraisers require hockey. The charity makes money from game-worn jerseys, ticket auctions, road trip parties and in-game raffles, among other things. With hockey gone, so are the fundraisers.
"The NHL lockout has had a significant impact on the fundraising efforts associated with the Buffalo Sabres Foundation," Cliff Benson, chief development officer of the Sabres and president of the foundation, said in a statement Friday.
One of the most prominent activities for the foundation is its 50-50 raffle. It's a staple of every home game. A member of the Sabres' alumni association, which shares in the proceeds, pulls the winning number during the third period in First Niagara Center. The lucky fan usually walks away with about $5,000, while another $5,000 goes into foundation coffers.
Even if the NHL returns in mid-January, teams will likely play just 48 of their usual 82 games. That's at least $170,000 gone because of the missing 50-50s.
The foundation's signature fundraiser is its "Aces and Blades" casino night, which typically raises more than $100,000. It features Sabres players acting as dealers, but teams are essentially prohibited from speaking with players during the lockout so the event can't be scheduled.
Unique to Christmastime is the annual ornament sale. The signed decorations sell for $20 and can bring $20,000 to the foundation. There's no way to recoup those lost funds.
The foundation's revenues totaled nearly $1.8 million from 2007 to 2010, an average of almost $450,000 per year, according to forms filed with the Internal Revenue Service. With so many fundraisers absent, it's unlikely they'll match previous incomes.
The Sabres said year-to-date totals were unavailable.
The foundation donates funds to variety of groups, including veteran organizations, underprivileged youths, local hospitals and physically challenged individuals.
"Fortunately, we've still been able to honor all the financial commitments the board has made to the various area groups this year," Benson said. "In addition, the foundation still has been able to help groups in need as was evidenced this week with the 3,500 hygiene kits we provided to the victims of Hurricane Sandy."

This is not funny anymore. Honestly, it's time we all agree that 90% of apple buyers are idiots. No wonder they settle for the same thing each year. I mean like seriously? Apple can sell a 8'' iPhone and to their customers it will be okay cos apple says 8'' is cool for a phone. It's just a pitty

That is how Apple has been successful in making a fool out of consumers. An average consumer in USA is not very smart. If they can't differentiate between iPad & iPhone, forget differentiating between iPhone5 & iPhone5S.. Dumb people.. They believe on any crap that Apple tells them & they buy their over-priced devices..(no wonder revenue of Apple is so high even after lesser sales compared to Android devices).
I don't think it is fake.. YouTube has lot of videos about dumb american people. For example, in a survey, when it was asked about Obama. Reply was that he is evil & pathetic. Several of them didn't know he is their own president. In another video, people failed to reply where food & vegetables come from. Lot of people replied "from Can". LOL.. & who can forget that famous video where gal couldn't tell "how far u wud go in 1 hr if u travel at 60mph"
32. Penywyz (banned) (Posts: 255; Member since: 13 Aug 2013)
Just to clarify it's not just in America, people are dumb everywhere.
42. kabhijeet.16 (Posts: 805; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
Not targeting anyone. Juz that this video was shot in USA & I happen to have watched lot of videos of that kind.. Even you would agree that gal who was licking the ipad for chocolate taste was dumb.... LOL.. Damn funny video....
30. wheelz78 (Posts: 5; Member since: 25 Mar 2013)
Funny video, but remember we are on phone arena because we know something about mobile technology and we can have discussions about pros and cons of any new device or service. Truth is we are the minority and the Bay majority will go with what they believe is trending. I'm sure I could convince some of my technology ignorant friends that my old HTC Touch Pro 2 is a current phone with its full querty physical keyboard and stylus! But I digress...Also what comes to mind is some guy in Japan is going to wait in line for 10 days just so he can get one of the new iPhone 5's

34. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
I know not everyone is informed as us but surely people can't be that oblivious... some of the things are just common sense stuff. Its clearly a much much bigger device so why would you say it's smaller and lighter. 1 guy even claimed to be a huge apple fan so surely he would know that's an iPad mini.

Beyerdynamic A1 Review
Pros: Solid State (easier for some people), German Made, Synergy with Beyerdynamic T1, and very high output for a SS amp.
Cons: No XLR Input or Output, High Price, and some Hiss at higher volume levels
Well overall I find this Amp to be good, but still would not change my mind when it comes to recommending amps for Beyerdynamic T1's. If you have the T1, get a tube amp. Tube amps just sound warmer and better IMO. Honestly, this amp is severely overpriced. However if you need a neutral and not so warm amp (music production) then this amp will do the trick. That being said, this is still a good amp and if your in need of a neutral amplifier this will be a good solution.

A man faces several charges after officials say a road-rage incident ended at the front door of his ex-wife's house.
Kevin Dickens, 37, was booked on the following counts: Domestic violence, hit and run with property damage, burglary and vandalism, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department.
He drove into the front door of the woman's house when she wouldn't come outside, officials said. KCRA 3 captured video of the missing door.
No one was injured.
Deputies caught up with Dickens after the incident -- which took place about 3 a.m. Friday near Feather River and Squaw Valley ways -- and arrested him.

What are reactive arthritis symptoms and signs?
The symptoms of reactive arthritis can be divided into those that affect the joints and those that affect the non-joint areas.
The classic joints that can become inflamed in reactive arthritis are the knees, ankles, and feet. The particular joints involved are usually asymmetric, that is, one side of the body or the other is affected, rather than both sides simultaneously. The inflammation leads to stiffness, pain, swelling, warmth, and redness of the joints involved. Patients may develop inflammation of entire fingers or toes which can give the appearance of a "sausage digit." This feature is also seen in patients with another type of arthritis called psoriatic arthritis that is associated with skin inflammation of psoriasis. The arthritis of reactive arthritis can be associated with inflammation of the spine, leading to stiffness and pain in the back or neck (characteristic of all of the spondyloarthropathies, including ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis).
Cartilage can also become inflamed, especially around the breastbone where the ribs meet in the front of the chest; this condition is called costochondritis. Muscles attach to the bones by tendons. In reactive arthritis, the tendon insertion points can become inflamed (enthesitis), tender, and painful when exercised. Achilles tendinitis is common with reactive arthritis.
Non-joint areas that become inflamed and cause symptoms of pain and irritation in patients with reactive arthritis include the eyes (conjunctivitis), genitals, urinary tract (urethra, bladder and prostate gland), skin, mouth lining, large bowel, and the aorta.
Inflammation of the white portion of the eye (conjunctivitis) and the iris of the eye (iritis) is frequently seen early in reactive arthritis and may be intermittent. When the whites of the eye are inflamed causing conjunctivitis, there may be no pain. When the colored part of the eye (iris) is inflamed, causing iritis and uveitis, it can be very painful and especially worse when looking into bright lights (medically referred to as photophobia).
Urinary tract inflammation commonly involves the urethra, the tube that drains urine from the bladder. This inflammation (urethritis) can be associated with burning on urination and/or pus drainage from the end of the penis. The skin around the penis can become inflamed and peel. The bladder and prostate gland can also become inflamed, leading to an urge to urinate from cystitis and prostatitis respectively.
The skin of the palms of the hands and/or the soles of the feet can develop tiny fluid-filled blisters that sometimes are filled with old blood. The affected skin can peel and may mimic psoriasis. The classic appearance is medically referred to as keratoderma blennorrhagica. Similar inflammation of the tip of the penis can cause irritating rash in males, referred to as circinate balanitis.
The mouth can develop open sores (ulcerations) on the hard and soft palate and even on the tongue. These may go unnoticed by the patient, as they are often painless. Inflammation of the large bowel (colitis) can cause diarrhea or pus or blood in the stool. Inflammation of the aorta (aortitis) can be seen in a small percentage of patients who have reactive arthritis. It can lead to failure of the aortic valve of the heart, which can cause heart failure. The electrical conducting pathway of the heart can also become scarred in reactive arthritis, leading to irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias) that may require placement of a pacemaker to regulate the heartbeat.

The Mid-American conference season begins tonight for the University at Buffalo women as the Bulls host Northern Illinois at 7 p.m. in Alumni Arena.
The Bulls finished their non-conference season at 2-11, closing out with a 70-43 loss at Cornell on Saturday.
Redshirt junior Cherridy Thornton has made a big impact since she entered the Bulls' lineup Dec. 21. The midseason transfer sat out the fall semester due to NCAA rules. In her three games off the bench, Thornton is averaging a team-high 12.7 points. Freshman Rachael Gregory is averaging 11.3 points while sophomore Christa Baccas is pulling in 7.5 rebounds.
Northern Illinois, picked to finish fourth the MAC West, is 5-8 overall.
Both Niagara and Canisius hit the road for Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference games. The Purple Eagles play at Saint Peter's at 7 tonight while Canisius is part of Rider's Kids' Day event at noon.
The Golden Griffins are coming off a 1-1 opening weekend in MAAC play after a dramatic, buzzer-beating, half-court shot against Siena during Kids' Day at the Koessler Center. Canisius (4-9) then lost to Iona, which is tied for first place in the league with Marist.
Senior Ashley Durham won MAAC Player of the Week honors — her first and the first for a Canisius player since 2009. She averaged 18.5 points and 5.0 rebounds last week.
Rider (6-7) also split its opening MAAC games with a loss to Marist and win over Manhattan.
Niagara (6-7) heads to winless Saint Peter's (0-13, 0-2 MAAC) with a 1-1 conference mark after coming back to defeat Siena in overtime following a loss to Iona. Lauren Gatto leads the Purple Eagles, averaging 13.7 points a game.

The countdown to motherhood is on for Kristin Cavallari.
The reality star, 25, who is pregnant with her first child with fiancé Jay Cutler, was celebrated at a baby shower in L.A. on Saturday.
The afternoon fete was attended by family and friends, including Cavallari's former costars on The Hills Heidi Montag and Stephanie Pratt, and took place in the backyard of an exclusive Hollywood Hills home.
"It was the perfect weather for a fun celebration. Kristin arrived with her mom. She looked stunning in a black dress with her hair in a ponytail," says a source. "She was smiling and seemed very excited about celebrating her baby. Guests seemed to enjoy the shower as well and there was a lot of laughter."
Pink Salt Event Cuisine catered the shower, where guests enjoyed gourmet bites, including cupcakes with green and blue frosting. Cavallari was also presented with a three-tier green sponge cake by Sweet Spils that was decorated with yellow stars.
Gifts for her baby boy included a Peg Perego high chair in chocolate, a chocolate colored monkey blanket, squeaky bath toys and plush baby towels.

Voters in Dorchester District 2 and Berkeley County School District agreed with their school boards that new schools are needed, supporting the Yes 4 Schools bond referendums in both districts, according to unofficial results.
Results were delayed in Dorchester County due to a glitch, but by about 2:40 a.m. Wednesday, the votes cast on Tuesday had been counted, leaving only absentee ballots.
Were going to start moving forward tomorrow, said Berkeley County School Superintendent Rodney Thompson of the districts building program. In Dorchester District 2, Superintendent Joe Pye echoed Thompsons remarks.
Dorchester 2 sought $179.9 million to build four new schools and renovate 10 others. The bonds would raise taxes on a $150,000 house by about $102 annually.
Berkeley asked for $198 million to build five new schools and renovate 29 others. The measure adds $60 to the tax bill on a $150,000 house for three years, doubles that until 2023, then goes back to $60 for three years.
Voters in Dorchester 2 voted 60 percent in favor of the referendum and 40 percent against with nearly all the results in.
I thought it was going to come down to the wire and Im pleasantly surprised that its not tighter than it is, but I thought the community would rally behind it, said to Yes 4 Schools co-chairman Brian Moniz.
Because of the computer glitch, the campaign sent representatives to the polls to get results, Moniz said.
A second question in Dorchester 2, which would add a $7.5 million Aquatic Center that will be a joint project of the district and the Summerville Family YMCA, also looked like it was going to pass. It would add $3 to tax bills. The vote was 51 percent for the center and 49 percent against it.
Berkeley Countys Yes 4 Schools campaign faced vocal opposition from Berkeley Citizens for Sustainable Education, which shifted the campaigns focus to ethics questions in recent days. The vote was passing 56 percent to 43 percent with 52 of 66 precincts reporting.
The students and employees of the district were the winners tonight, said Thompson. Id like to thank our board for having the vision to let the public decide this issue.

When Jon Shaw walked into the Father Daughter Dance on Saturday evening in Greeley, something special happened.
Shaw was accompanied by his 10-month-old daughter Elizabeth, his wife Jamie and his father-in-law David Fischer. As the group strolled through the Greeley Recreation Center, 651 10th Ave., the song "My Girl" by The Temptations began to play.
Jamie Shaw and her father had danced to the song at her wedding, and now the song was playing as Fischer spent time with his oldest daughter and first granddaughter.
"It was like, 'Oh my gosh,' " he said. "It was perfect."
Jon Shaw, who works at the University of Northern Colorado, said he heard about the dance from a co-worker. Half an hour into the event, he said he already hopes to make attending the dance an annual tradition.
"She really enjoys all the balloons, lights and music," John said, holding his wide-eyed daughter at his shoulder. "And it's nice to spend time together."
His wife agreed.
"It's very special, and cute," she said. "It's important for dads to be role models."
Fischer nodded.
"Fathers and daughters and moms and sons share a connection like no other," he said.
The Shaws were among many families who attended the dance, now in its fourth year, for the first time.
Organizers held a dance Saturday afternoon and another that night.
Andrea Haring, who organized the event, said ticket sales more than doubled from last year, with more than 1,000 sold before the doors even closed. She, along with several attendees, cited a need for personal time between fathers and daughters.
"It's such an inviting and welcoming atmosphere," Haring said. "You'll see dads carrying diaper bags, treating their daughters like princesses and just being crazy for them."
The cost to attend was $20 per couple in advance or $25 at the door, and $10 for each additional daughter. Haring said the proceeds all pay for the dance, including door prizes, a DJ and a personal photo the families get to take home.
Many of the fathers agreed it was money well spent.
"I think it's nice to get to do this, because it's not always a priority," said Ray Iliff, his daughter Bailey drinking a cup of orange soda. "She's had a lot of fun dancing and singing. Although I think she's ready for a nap."

A single-car accident sent one person to the hospital and shut down a portion of railroad in Buckhannon Monday afternoon.
A female passenger, whose name was not released, was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in Buckhannon for treatment, said Buckhannon Police Chief Matt Gregory. The male driver of the car was reportedly not injured The accident occurred around 2:40 p.m. on Fifth Street near the Suddenlink office.
The driver allegedly lost control of the vehicle and went off the right side of the road into a wooden wall and over the bank next to the road and tracks. The signal lights near the tracks fell onto the railway during the impact. The Upshur County Communications Center notified the Appalachian and Ohio Railroad of the accident. A&O Railroad then closed the railway and responded to the scene.

Emergency officials responded to a Fifth Street single-car accident in Buckhannon Monday that shut down the tracks to rail traffic.
Willie Shaver, a roadmaster for the A&O Railroad, said the cost of damages were uncertain at this point.
"As far as the track is concerned, there's no damage to the track," Shaver said. "Every train that comes by will have to stop, get out and flag the crossing until it's known to be clear and proceed over it because the (signal) lights won't be working."
Shaver said he was awaiting representatives from CSX Transportation, Inc. in Grafton to inspect the area because of the issues regarding the signal lights. He said that a "stop and flag" order will have to be placed with the Baltimore, Md., dispatcher before the tracks can be reopened to rail traffic. Train operators will be notified of the order through the dispatcher and on a train bulletin, Shaver said.
CSX signal supervisor Terry Mayfield said he had employees on scene, but did not have a damage estimate at this time.
The Upshur County Emergency Medical Squad, the Buckhannon Police Department and the Buckhannon Fire Department all responded to the scene.

I am blogging from the back porch! We have had spectacular weather the past few days: sunny and low 20s. It is amazing to think that last weekend we had a snow storm. You'd think it was summer around here with everyone doffing their winter clothes for shorts and T-shirts. The lawn is now raked, some seeds are in the garden, and Son #2 has a sun burn on the back of his neck. And, of course, I once again experimented with turning my BBQ into a tandoori oven to make naan. I have never had good luck with naan in the past, but this time was different. The high heat of the BBQ puffed the bread nicely and gave it a wonderful texture. Mission accomplished!

on December 1, 2012 - 10:01 PM
When Superstorm Sandy sideswiped the region several weeks ago, people were looking for news and information in real time.
Hundreds of them got it on the social media pages of the Niagara County Sheriff's Office.
"We started out with 174 followers that night, and by the end of the storm, we had 3,000 people," said Administrative Capt. Michael P. Dunn.
"We've had a page [on Facebook] for a while, but we didn't really have a plan of how to use it," Dunn said. "Now we are trying to keep the information fresh. We know if we don't do that, people are not going to follow it."
The superstorm – and the success several departments across the state have had solving crimes, while informing taxpayers about police work – have created a surge in interest regarding use of social media in police matters.
The State Police announced its foray into that world last week with new Twitter and Facebook sites at facebook.com/nyspolice and on Twitter @nyspolice.
"We are able to serve New Yorkers on a whole new level," State Police Superintendent Joseph A. D'Amico said. "Facebook and Twitter give us a chance to directly communicate with the people we serve every day. Not only will we be able to get important public safety information out quickly, but New Yorkers will also get to know more about what our troopers do in their communities."
In Niagara County, the Sheriff's Office is leading the charge into online law enforcement.
The agency has had a Facebook site for the last three years, but just recently began a concerted effort to make the site interactive by answering questions and providing real-time updates and news on its pages at facebook.com/niagarasheriff or on Twitter @niagarasheriff.
"When Hurricane Sandy came, we really ramped it up. We had four or five administrators with the ability to change and update the site," said Sheriff James R. Voutour.
Voutour posts about 75 percent of the updates, Dunn said. The sheriff agreed that when necessary information is to be disseminated, he's likely to pick up his cellphone and post something.
"Hopefully, I know everything about everything, so it's easy to put something on Facebook in a few seconds," Voutour said. One weekend last month, for instance, he was in the office on an icy night and heard a number of car crashes and made a post to warn about slippery roads.
Dunn said the Sheriff's Office now has 3,800 followers who have "liked" its Facebook page and receive regular updates.
'Virtual ride-along'
On Black Friday, anyone who wasn't shopping could follow deputies across the county in "a virtual ride-along" on the 4 p.m.-to-midnight shift. Three administrators posted each call that came in and put up photos and, in some cases, video, as well as information about how calls are dispatched and what kind of special equipment is in patrol cars. Dunn said the page has seen a 127 percent increase since the ride-along started.
"It's not something we can do all the time. It took a lot of effort and manpower," Dunn said, "but we were very happy about how it went. It was very successful."
Dunn said the department has been getting a lot of requests for another one and hopes to host a second ride-along in the future."It's a start; we are hoping to build on it," Dunn said. "We hope to make ourselves partners in the community."
Dunn and Voutour said this type of interaction gives the Sheriff's Office "transparency," allowing the community a window into their everyday world. "We want to promote what we are doing," Dunn said.
Voutour said that on the night of the ride-along, the department had six patrol cars on the road and received 109 calls. The department couldn't get everything on the website, he said, but hopefully the community saw how deputies handle a typical night.
Unlike a scanner, through which listeners just hear a call go out, deputies also tried to inform followers how cases were being resolved, Voutour said.
"For so much of our society, ages 10 to 40, social media like Twitter, websites and Facebook are their primary news source," Voutour said.
"More and more people are involved in social media," Dunn said. "Now people are getting their information immediately, and the best part is not only that it travels quickly, but your outreach is much larger as people share links."
Dunn said the Sheriff's Office wants to continue to expand its online presence. The next thing deputies would like to offer, he said, is updates from shift supervisors that recap any major calls or arrests that occurred on their shifts. "Our goal is to post something three to four times a day," Dunn said.
For those interested in lengthier reports and real-time news, the Sheriff's Office also participates in a statewide service called "NY Alert," posting full news releases about recent arrests, criminal activity and other police information.
App is being developed
Voutour said the department currently is developing a Sheriff's Office app for mobile devices, using the national victim notification network VINE, or Victim Information and Notification Everyday. The app will offer updated information on who is currently incarcerated and give followers the ability to be notified when someone is released, as well as maps, news alerts and directories with links to law enforcement agencies and attorneys.
"We will be the first sheriff's department offering an app. It will be a very big deal," Voutour said.
Undersheriff Michael J. Filicetti said, "We are just trying to keep up with technology. In the past, we would be at a crash site with pen and paper. Now they are out there shooting with lasers and putting 3-D images in computers."
With the new technology, Voutour said, the public will also become more aware of how the growing populations in the towns are affecting deputies, who see increasing calls while being forced to work under decreasing budgets.
"We are seeing a greater need for our services," Voutour said. "This shows people what we are doing and how we are doing it."

LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Five things to look for as Penn State tries to avoid a letdown after last week's tough loss to Ohio State against a Purdue team that's winless in the Big Ten.
SUBHD: No. 1: Where's the defense?
Purdue hasn't played much of it over the past month, allowing 39.2 points in its past five games, and logic suggests Penn State would be able to blister the Boilermakers.
It's difficult to understand why Bill O'Brien chose not to utilize the NASCAR offense much last week against Ohio State -- it's been the single-most effective aspect of the team so far -- but he has every reason to rev it up early and often against this defense.
The Nittany Lions can pick their poison against Purdue, which gives up 194 yards rushing and 214 passing per game. That leads to big possibilities for Matt McGloin in the passing game or Bill Belton and Zach Zwinak in the running game.
Purdue has an outstanding defensive tackle in Kawann Short, but he's questionable with an ankle injury. Safety Landon Feichter is a good one with four interceptions and team-leading 49 tackles. There's not much beyond those two, however.
Fact Box
PSU (5-3, 3-1 Big Ten)
vs. Purdue (3-5, 0-4)
Where: Ross-Ade Stadium
Kickoff: 3:30 p.m.
Line: PSU by 3 1/2
As long as the Lions can have some kind of balance -- which they didn't against the Buckeyes (1.3 yards per rush) -- they should be able to have their way with Purdue. Penn State already has piled up a lot of points on weak defenses this season (Illinois, Northwestern, Iowa), and today should be no different.
SUBHD: No. 2: Flat feeling
Penn State has to hope what happened Friday wasn't some gloomy foreshadowing. The charter plane had a flight tire, delaying the team's departure from State College more than five hours until about 8 p.m. The team didn't arrive at the hotel in Lafayette until about 9:40 p.m.
The Lions can't afford to be flat at the start of the game and must match Purdue's intensity early, as several players mentioned this week. The Boilermakers are a desperate team playing at home, so you'd think they'd be ready and show some pride, especially early.
Coming out flat on the road used to be a problem for PSU, but that hasn't been an issue so far under O'Brien as the Lions scored 14 points in the first quarter of both road games (Illinois and Iowa).
This team has been ready to play from the outset all season, outscoring opponents 66-0 in the first quarter. If that continues today, PSU should be in good shape.
Get out to an early lead, and the Boilermakers might fold.
SUBHD: No. 3: Is Hope lost?
Coach Danny Hope is in big trouble at Purdue, and this game could go a long way toward determining if he will be fired at season's end. Hope has to know that.
The Boilermakers have a pretty easy schedule the rest of the way -- at Iowa, at Illinois, home against Indiana -- so it's possible they could get on a roll with four straight wins and salvage the season.
A loss today, though, and there's no telling how much things could deteriorate even further and if the players will quit on the season, if they haven't already.
All of this is important because Purdue could be fired up trying to salvage its season, and Hope could come up with something different for the game plan in order to help save his job.
SUBHD: No. 4: Marve's mobility
Purdue quarterback Robert Marve has had three knee injuries in his career, including an ACL injury just eight weeks ago Notre Dame. Somehow, Marve has been able to recover quickly and return to the field this season to replace Caleb TerBush as the starter.
Marve has a big arm and might be able to pick apart PSU's secondary if given time to throw. Look for defensive coordinator Ted Roof to bring a lot of blitzes to pressure Marve, who at one point might have been a dual-threat quarterback but now brings little in terms of scrambling ability.
SUBHD: No. 5: Player to watch
Penn State receiver Allen Robinson could be primed for a big game, whether tight end Kyle Carter plays or not.
If Carter can't go because of his ankle injury, Robinson will have to step up. But even if Carter can play, you'd think he'd be limited, in which case Robinson also would need a big game for the Lions to win.
Robinson has great numbers (52 catches, 631 yards, eight TDs), but he hasn't always been the most sure-handed receiver. He could approach 80 catches with a big finish, which would obliterate the single-season school record of 63 shared by O.J. McDuffie (1992) and Bobby Engram (1995).
Robinson could be around eight catches for 105 yards and two scores today.
Prediction: Penn State 31, Purdue 16

The word "Jobby" coming from the Scottish for shit/poo, a "Jobby Jabber" concerns the act of sneaking up behind a friend/foe while pressing both hands together into a "praying" position, then forcibly ramming pointed fingers up the (fully clothed) arse of said friend/foe, shouting "JOBBY JABBER!". Remember to run away to avoid violent repurcussions; laughing is optional.

An homosexual ; a man who engages as the active partner in anal sex with another man. From "jobby" (faecal solid) + "jab" (to prong or spear). It should be noted that some may consider this term offensive - it is favoured by homophobes due to its low potential for "re-appropriation" by the homosexual community (see example).

Rhode Island School of Design Technician Wins Settlement from Local Teacher Union
Union officials refused to follow Supreme Court precedents
Providence, RI (February 4, 2013) – With free legal assistance from National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation staff attorneys, a Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) technician has won an informal settlement from a local union for violating his rights.
The settlement stems from a federal unfair labor practice charge Robert Vennerbeck of Providence filed with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) regional office in Boston against the RISD Technical Association union – an affiliate of the National Education Association (NEA) union.
Vennerbeck resigned formal union membership and revoked his union dues deduction authorization – a form used to take union dues from workers' paychecks. The U.S. Supreme Court has long held that workers have the right to refrain from full-dues-paying union membership. Because Rhode Island does not have Right to Work protections making union affiliation completely voluntary, workers who refrain from formal union membership may still be forced to pay part of union dues to keep their jobs. However, nonmember workers cannot be required to pay union dues spent for union political activities and member-only events.
Vennerbeck charged that union officials refused to follow federal disclosure requirements outlined under Supreme Court precedent despite Vennerbeck's repeated requests.
