So pleased
Pros: excellent for what i need
Cons: since im new to LP... none
I received this as a gift from my wife along with some old records.
My only previous experience with turntables was when i was 6 listing to some kid tales on my parents old turntable .
But Im so in love of the sound of lps that I worry I found another expensive hobby (photography and headphones being other two)
If you are new to LPs and turntables as I am I really recommend to give this one a try

- Italian Lute Songs/ Derek Lee Ragin
Lute songs and musical practice: the madrigal and monody The song for lute and vocalist was enormously popular in the sixteenth century. They were initially arranged from multi-voiced compositions with the singer performing the highest voice. The lutanist tried to reproduce all the other voices (as far as this was possible), adding ornamentation according to his own taste in order to give more body to the sound of the instrument. This practice was so successful that even well-known composers made arrangements. In 1536 for exam-ple, Adrian Willaert arranged twenty-two madrigals by Philippe Verdelot for lute and voice. In 1530 the term "madrigal" was first used for a composition by Verdelot. Within a short time this new musical genre spread throughout Italian territories. The madrigal was developed in reaction to other types of multi-voiced songs like the frottola. Its most significant innovations were the use of serious texts that were chosen, its free form and polyphonic texture. There is a strong tendency in Verdelot's madrigals towards vertical harmonic structures, but they may also have an imitative character. The texture of most madrigals lies somewhere between these two extremes, a mixed form described by musicologist Alfred Einstein as "polyphonically animated homophony". Although most composers at the time preferred the texts of Petrarch, Verdelot made grateful use of the works of his contemporaries, for example Martelli: "Donna che sette tra belle bella" and "Con l'Angelico riso"....

1) What kind of animal was struck by traffic on I-25?
a. A horse
b. A mountain lion
c. A pig
d. A Mexican gray wolf
2) An East Mountains resident was put in custody after she threatened whom?
a. Gov. Bill Richardson
b. Bernalillo County Sheriff Darren White
c. Sen. Jeff Bingaman
d. President Obama
3) What new facility opened in the South Valley?

b. A Mexican drug cartel
c. The Albuquerque chapter of the Bloods
d. A fugitive featured on "America's Most Wanted"
1) C. A 200-pound pig was hit by traffic on I-25 after Albuquerque police say the animal fell out of a trailer. By the time police arrived at the seen, the pig had to be euthanized. Two northbound lanes on I-25 near Comanche were closed temporarily due to the incident.
2) D. While in Williams, Ariz., an East Mountains resident rammed her truck into a fuel tanker and verbally threatened Obama's life, according to police. She then tried to light several fuel tankers on fire, police say, before being wrestled down by police. The woman is charged with terrorism, attempted first-degree murder and endangerment.
3) A. An urgent care center started seeing patients in the South Valley on Monday, Feb. 16. The center, located near Rio Bravo and Second Street, is expected to have shorter wait times than an emergency room. Albuquerque Health Partners runs the facility.
4) B. Detectives say a murder committed in January 2008 was carried out by members of a Mexican drug cartel. A man was shot 22 times, burned and left in the middle of a road on the West Mesa, according to detectives. Bernalillo County Sheriff Darren White says the man was contracted by a cartel to smuggle drugs across the border to El Paso. When he decided to take the drugs to Albuquerque instead, the cartel had him killed, White says. The Sheriff's Department has been investigating the murder for 13 months.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Patents
This month, a company called Voice2Text Innovations filed patent infringement lawsuits against two voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) services, Phone.com and Vitelity. Voice2Text has no website or any other information online; its sole asset appears to be US Patent No. 8,914,003—unsurprisingly, a patent on using voice recognition to convert a voicemail into a text message. Equally unsurprisingly, it's filed those suits in the Eastern District of Texas, whose patent-troll-friendly practices we've thoroughly documented on this blog. The Voice2Text patent is so absurd that we had to honor it with our Stupid Patent of the Month award.
Here's the Voice2Text patent's first claim:
1. A system, comprising:
In a disappointing but unsurprising ruling, the Federal Circuit confirmed today that patent owners essentially have free rein to file suit in any tiny corner of the country, regardless of its minimal connection to the patent owner, the alleged infringer, or the technology involved.
The case is In re TC Heartland. The alleged infringer, TC Heartland, was sued by Kraft in Delaware. TC Heartland asked the Federal Circuit, through a petition for writ of mandamus, to find that the case couldn't be heard there, according to laws regarding "venue."
Together with Public Knowledge and R Street, EFF filed an amicus brief today asking the Supreme Court to consider and overturn a troubling decision from the Federal Circuit. If allowed to stand, the lower court's decision could undermine the right to use, resell, tinker with, and analyze the devices you own.
Last month, EFF moved to intervene in a patent case in order to unseal records we believe have been improperly kept from the public. Yesterday, the court granted EFF's motion to intervene, and in doing so, rejected a troubling argument being put forth by the patent owner.
The case is Blue Spike v. Audible Magic. As we noted in our blog post last month, numerous documents, including at least three court opinions, have been completely withheld from the public. The sealed documents are highly substantive, and from what we can gather, would help the public better understand what, exactly, Blue Spike claims to have invented.
Trade Protection Not Troll Protection Act Would Prevent Patent Trolls from Blocking Imports
Patent trolls don't just demand money from innovators; they can actually interfere with international trade and block imports from entering the country. There's a new bill in Congress designed to take this powerful tactic away from the trolls' arsenal. We hope to see it pass, but more importantly, we hope it builds momentum in Congress for more comprehensive patent reform.
The Trade Protection Not Troll Protection Act is the newest of several patent reform bills introduced in Congress this session. Introduced by Reps. Tony Cardenaz (D-CA) and Blake Farenthold (R-TX), H.R. 4829 addresses patent litigation's lesser known forum, the United States International Trade Commission (ITC), a federal agency that investigates unfair trade practices.

Le recensioni degli altri alloggi del proprietario
strategic location close to the metro station sudkreuz.Quartiere quiet and hot servito.Appartamento and accogliente.Grazie Ben x having us
This Loft was great. Very spacious and well appointed. Nice quiet building easy check in. The kitchen was adequately equipped but bring your own shampoo and conditioner. The neighborhood had lots to offer and was really close to shopping and the U Ban. I highly recommend this place.
My experience with Windu was less than straightforward. The web site said your credit card would be billed upon check in. Not true, it was billed at the time of the booking. A notice after booking tells you of additional taxes that are assessed. I assumed this is what would be billed upon check-in but evidently one is suppose to leave cash behind to cover it. Attempts to resolve this with the owner were complicated by the web site which refused to send my messages because it would not recognize my phone number.
Found this apartment very disappointing in comparision with others we have rented in the city. It was very dark and gloomy and extremely meagre in terms of towels, and kitchen equipment provided. The nearest shops for basic supplies were at least 10 minutes walk away, unusual for Berlin.
Very nice apartment. Easy to get access to by the information via E-mail. Clean and well equipped. Big up for being on the groundfloor.
The apartment was gorgeous, very spacious, kid friendly and conveniently located! I would definitely recommend. If you want the baby cot you should notify Ben in advance.
Ben and Tania gave quick feedback on all my questions prior our stay at their apartment. Everything was exactly as described and the apartment was clean and tidy. The transfer service offered was an extra and realy good service. I highly recommend this apartment, the area (don't miss the wine bar close to the Apartment) and these hosts for all of you who want's to visit Berlin.
The apartment was okay and clean.
Location advised is correct however the apartment is not at the heart of the neirbourghood or even close. 10 minutes walk from Schönefeld station. For this reason, I consider the rent is very expensive.
Ben always provided quick responses however the information was confusing. He asked me to contact Tania 5-2 days before arrival. Tania never got back to me and I contacted with Ben. He mentioned a shuttle service from the airport offered by Tania. Tania never contacted. Ben also mentioned a key code (aparently very important detail), I am still wondering what was that key code for, apart from made us really confused about If we were at the right place, where "key codes" didn't exist, only the names of the bells. The name of our bell was supposed to be Hönicke but it was not there. Really confusing situation. Finally, a member of the cleaning crew (who was cleanning other apartments) saw us on the street and gave us the KEYS to acces the building where we finally could see the name of the bell "Hönicke".
Apart from the arrival we had an amazing time in Berlin. Absolutely in love with the city.
Great location, and the flat was very clean with everything you need for a short stay. Communication was fast and easy.
Sehr net und ruhig appartment. In a alternative neigbourhood with manny places for a good breakfast or dinner. Close to a park for a picknick.
Alles fabelhaft! Had a great stay and enjoyed a lot being in that lovely apt! Thanks

Developing in our young men an appreciation for the Out doors is part of the job description of the Scoutmaster, well it's not.. but it should be.
I stumbled on this short video that really captures some of those ideas in an interview with Ken Burns.

text: It looks like content management in OpenACS is finally going to be improved. I have been lending moral support as well as lofty design goals, but unfortunately I have been to busy to write any code. I have tested some experimental ideas to better integrate the code and database, especially templates. We will probably end up publishing the templates to the filesystem, and definitely will offer an option to publish content to the filesystem. Eventually we will offer XML publish with XSLT templates. Not necessarily for rending of web pages, but for RSS and other XML output and export to other systems I think its the way to go.

It's the best guide to electioneering you'll ever read, presented here with a commentary by the legendary political consultant James Carville.

This is an interesting article (IMO).
Good article. The Repub Primary debates were a joke and did scare a lot of people away. And yes, the Repub Party has moved far to the right. Probably why 80% of the Latinos and the majority of women voted for Obama.
I DO NOT watch msnbc or nbc! Just like I do not watch Fox News. Both organizations lack credibility. And, I certainly don't pay any attention to Dick Morris or his emails/website. Funny how Morris was all about Clinton until Bill gave him the boot. Now, he is nothing but a scouned Democrat.
the only thing bad about the R primary season was that it was too long and too many debates and did more to harm to the Party than help
As for the Party moving to the right, I am fine with that...GWB 43 was a moderate. McCain is a RINO, Mitt is a moderate....I don't want the Party looking like a Democrat because they arent...
You always talk about RP being a man of principle, what kind of principles would it be if the R party drifted to the center, why should they compromise their principles anymore than your guy...
Face the facts, you may be a Fiscal conservative, but you are a social Liberal, which is fine ,just dont try and tell those of us that are Social Conservatives or even Moderates that we are any less Conservative than you....
I would guess that 80% of those here on POTUS are Fiscal Conservatives, no one likes money being wasted....but on Social and Moral issues we are deeply divided, and thats OK, because that is where the real gem of Freedom is at..I can choose to attend the church of my choice and you can choose to not attend one at all, you can choose to smoke your weed along with many of my friends and I can choose not to partake.....but guess what it doesnt make you or I any more patriotic
The Tea Party has moved the R Party to the right to remind its members where their core constituency is at..I am fine with that, there are still a whole lot of America that thinks that way...the numbers are also showing that many registered R did not vote for Mitt...more than likely they did not vote at all, highly unlikely that they voted for BHO....the reason they did not vote for Mitt was because he wasnt Conservative enough
The reason republicans lost is because 3,000,000 registered Republicans didn't vote, because Romney is too much of a Moderate. Look at the actual Republicans that took seats held by moderates. This nation desired something we didn't give them, now we have hopefully only two more years of this crap
The reason Romney lost is because he couldn't make up his mind about where he stood on things, other than liking to fire people. He made that perfectly clear and never waivered. If he would've took a solid stance, and not flip flop around, he probably would've won. LOL!!!

Seriously, I did not see that coming.
Read The Witch, the Devil, and the Reverend Mister Stone at my companion blog, My Ancestors in Books.
[from Wonder-working Providence of Sion's Saviour in New England. 1654.]
HERE again the admirable Providence of the Lord is to be noted, that whereas the Country is naturally subject to drought, even to the withering of their summer's fruits, the Lord was pleased, during these years of scarcity, to bless that small quantity of land they planted with seasonable showers, and that many times to the great admiration of the Heathen. For thus it befell: The extreme parching heat of the sun (by reason of a more constant clearness of the air than usually is in England) began to scorch the herbs and fruits, which was the chiefest means of their livelihood. They beholding the Hand of the Lord stretched out against them, like tender-hearted Children, they fell down on their knees, begging mercy of the Lord for their Saviour's sake, urging this as a chief argument, that the malignant adversary would rejoice in their destruction, and blaspheme the pure Ordinances of Christ, trampling down his Kingly Commands with their own inventions; and in uttering these words, their eyes dropped down many tears, their affections prevailing so strong, that they could not refrain in the Church Assembly. Here admire and be strong in the Grace of Christ, all you that hopefully belong unto him, for as they poured out water before the Lord, so at that very instant, the Lord showered down water on their gardens and fields, which with great industry they had planted, and now had not the Lord caused it to rain speedily, their hope of food had been lost; but at this these poor worms were so exceedingly taken, that the Lord should show himself so near unto their prayers, that as the drops from Heaven fell thicker and faster, so the tears from their eyes by reason of the sudden mixture of joy and sorrow. And verily they were exceedingly stirred in their affections, being unable to resolve themselves which mercy was greatest, to have a humble begging heart given them of God, or to have their request so suddenly answered.
The Indians hearing hereof, and seeing the sweet rain that fell, were much taken with Englishmen's God, but the Lord seeing his poor people's hearts were too narrow to beg, his bounties exceeds toward them at this time, as indeed he ever hitherto hath done for this Wilderness People, not only giving the full of their requests, but beyond all their thoughts, as witness his great work in England of late, in which the prayers of God's people in New England have had a great stroke. These people now rising from their knees to receive the rich mercies of Christ, in the refreshed fruits of the Earth; behold the Sea also bringing in whole ship-loads of mercies, more being filled with fresh forces for furthering this wonderful work of Christ. And indeed this year came in many precious ones, whom Christ in his grace hath made much use of in these his Churches and Commonwealth, insomuch that these people were even almost over-balanced with the great income of their present possessed mercies. Yet they address themselves to the sea-shore, where they courteously welcome the famous servant of Christ, grave, godly and judicious Hooker, and the honored servant of Christ, Mr. John Haynes, as also the Reverend and much desired Mr. John Cotton, and the Rhetorical Mr. Stone, with divers others of the sincere servants of Christ, coming with their young, and with their old, and with their whole substance, to do him service in this desert wilderness. Thus this poor people having now tasted liberally of the salvation of the Lord every way, they deem it high time to take up the cup of thankfulness, and pay their vows to the most high God, by whom they were holpen to this purpose of heart, and accordingly set apart the 16th day of October (which they call the eighth month, not out of any peevish humor of singularity, as some are ready to censure them with, but of purpose to prevent the Heathenish and Popish observation of days, months and years, that they may be forgotten among the people of the Lord). This day was solemnly kept by all the seven Churches, rejoicing in the Lord, and rendering thanks for all their benefits.
~Captain Edward Johnson (Born in Kent, England, about 1600. Died at Woburn, Mass,, 1972.)

Winner of Canada's prestigious Governor General's Award, this richly rendered American debut captures the life of a lady's maid on her journey from the confines of Victorian England to the uncharted reaches of Egypt's Nile Valley, awakening first love, testing loyalties, and discovering freedom has a price.
When Lady Duff Gordon, toast of Victorian London society, departs for the hot, dry climate of Egypt to seek relief from the debilitating effects of her tuberculosis, Sally doesn't think twice about remaining by her mistress' side. Sally and Lady Duff Gordon throw themselves into their exotic surroundings, adopting native dress, learning Arabic, and visiting the tombs of ancient pharaohs. Along the way, Sally comes to experience freedoms she, as a servant, has never known before, as well as her first taste of romance.
But freedom is a luxury that a maid can ill afford, and when Sally grasps for more than status entitles her to, she is brutally reminded that she is mistress of nothing. Ultimately, she must choose her master and a way back -- or a way to the unknown.
Based on the real lives of Lady Duff Gordon and her maid, The Mistress of Nothing is a lush, sometimes dark portrait of forbidden love, tested loyalties, and finding an unexpected new definition of ''home'' -- a compelling story that will take listeners on a journey they will not soon forget.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Lady Duff Gordon is the toast of Victorian London. But when her debilitating tuberculosis means exile, she and her devoted lady's maid, Sally, set sail for Egypt. It is Sally who describes, with a mixture of wonder and trepidation, the odd menage marshalled by the resourceful Omar, which travels down the Nile to a new life in Luxor. As Lady Duff Gordon undoes her stays and takes to native dress, throwing herself into weekly salons; language lessons; excursions to the tombs; Sally too adapts to a new world, affording her heady and heartfelt freedoms never known before. But freedom is a luxury that a maid can ill-afford, and when Sally grasps more than her status entitles her to, she is brutally reminded that she is mistress of nothing.About the Author:

An appeal of a proposed ethics opinion which says it is unethical for prosecutors to offer and defense attorneys to recommend their clients accept plea bargains that prohibit later claims of prosecutorial misconduct or ineffective assistance of counsel could reach the Bar Board of Governors at its December 7 meeting.
All three U.S. attorneys in Florida have appealed a vote of the Professional Ethics Committee last June to approve Proposed Advisory Opinion 12-1.
The PEC considered comments on that opinion when it met again in September, but decided to make no changes, clearing the way for the appeal to go to the board.
Aside from the ethics matter, the board will also get a report about carrying out communications-related recommendations from the Hawkins Commission, work on legislative issues, and make several appointments.
The Board Review Committee on Professional Ethics, which meets the day before the Board of Governors' meeting, will initially consider the appeal of PAO 12-1.
If the committee completes its deliberations, then it will present its findings to the board the next day. But it is not certain that will happen; the PEC spent more than a year deliberating the issue, including almost three hours of debate before its June vote.
The ethics opinion began with an inquiry from a defense lawyer on whether it was ethical to advise a client to accept a plea bargain that waived the defendant's right to later raise a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. The lawyer also asked about the propriety of a prosecutor offering a plea agreement that barred the defendant from any future claim of prosecutorial misconduct.
Over the objections of prosecutors, especially from the U.S. attorneys' offices, the PEC eventually concluded — as have most other states that have looked at the issue — that such waivers are ethically impermissible.
Defense lawyers have a conflict under Rule 4-1.7(a)(2), PAO 12-1 said, because, "The lawyer has a personal interest in not having the lawyer's own representation of the client determined to be ineffective under constitutional standards. This conflict is not one that the client should be asked to waive . . . ."
As for prosecutors, "The committee agrees with those states that find that the conduct is impermissible as both prejudicial to the administration of justice and assisting the criminal defense lawyer in violating the Rules of Professional Conduct under Rule 4-8.4(d) and 4-8.4(a), Rules Regulating The Florida Bar," the opinion said.
"The committee's opinion is that it is prejudicial to the administration of justice for a prosecutor to require the criminal defendant to waive claims of prosecutorial misconduct when the prosecutor is in the best position, and indeed may be the only person, to be aware that misconduct has taken place."
The entire text of the opinion can be found on the Bar's .
The Communications Committee has been working to carry out recommendations of the Hawkins Commission, which earlier this year completed a comprehensive review of the Bar's discipline system.
Among its recommendations are to have speakers appear before judicial conferences of federal and state district courts of appeal, circuit, and county to talk about the grievance system, adding a short commentary on the Bar and the discipline system.
Another recommendation relates to an upcoming online CLE seminars that will include the importance of lawyers reporting the unethical conduct of other lawyers, trust accounting, and an overview of the Bar's grievance system.
The committee is also looking to consolidate on one page of the Bar's website information about the grievance process, now located in various parts of the site. Information about the Attorney Consumer Assistance Program, forms for filing grievances, alternatives to discipline, and recent disciplinary news releases would be included.
The Communications Committee also will report on developing the next "app" for smart phones, which will be aimed at allowing Florida lawyers to find and contact each other. The application is expected to work like a simplified version of the Bar's Find a Lawyer service on its website. The app will be designed to run easily on smart phones and other portable communications devices.
On a related communications issue, the board will receive a report on "The Vote's In Your Court" program to educate voters about the merit retention process for district court of appeal judges and Supreme Court justices.
The Legislation Committee, which at the board's October meeting recommended that the Bar oppose constitutional Amendment 5 on the November ballot (see story on page 1), is expected to recommend some Bar legislative positions from the 2010-12 biennium, which automatically sunset last summer.
That review will likely include long-standing Bar opposition to any constitutional amendment to alter the Supreme Court's oversight of the legal profession and continued support for adequate funding for the court system and related agencies.
The board will make several appointments:
* One lawyer of the U.S. Southern District of Florida to the U.S. 11th Circuit Judicial Conference.
* Five lawyers, one from each district court of appeal district, for two-year terms on the Florida Realtor-Attorney Joint Committee.
* One lawyer for a three-year term on the Florida Rural Legal Services Board of Directors.
* Three lawyers for terms on the Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission, two for six-year terms and one for a partial three-year term.

Good news from the housing market is good news for the homebuilders today.
Bloomberg has the goods on sales of previously-existing homes:
Sales of previously owned U.S. homes climbed more than forecast in July to the fastest pace since November 2009 as more buyers entered the market before further increases in mortgage rates.
Purchases of previously owned houses advanced 6.5 percent to a 5.39 million annual rate last month, figures from the National Association of Realtors showed today in Washington. The median forecast of 76 economists surveyed by Bloomberg projected a 5.15 million pace. Prices increased 13.7 percent from a year earlier, the most since October 2005.
Jefferies' Ward McCarthy digs deeper:
Inventories edged up in July, but remain very low. The number of homes available for sales rose to 2.28 mln from 2.16 mln, which is up from 1.77 mln in January. The months' supply was steady at 5.1 months. The 4.3 month supply in January was the lowest since June 2005.
The combination of rising sales and low inventories is a reflection of improving underlying housing market conditions that have been able to support rising prices which is the primary reason that median home prices are up 13.7% over the past year.
Homebuilders have jumped on the news. The SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB) has gained 0.9% to $29.33 and 1.5% off its low of the day. The Ryland Group (RYL) has gained 1.5% to $36.84 and 2.6% from its low of the day. PulteGroup (PHM) has risen 1.2% to $16.39 and 2.4% from its low. D.R. Horton (DHI) has edged up 0.9% to $19.08 and 2,2% from its low of the day.
Then there's Toll Brothers (TOL). The Horsham, Penn.-based homebuilder traded down as much as 2.5% this morning after reporting earnings that were, well, pretty good. The Wall Street Journal has the details:

OXFORD – Hugh Freeze has hired a coach to fill the vacancy created when Wesley McGriff left to take a job with the New Orleans Saints.
Jason Jones, the cornerbacks coach at Oklahoma State and a six-year member of that staff, will join Freeze's staff.
The move was reported Tuesday by Jimmie Tramel of the Tulsa World.
McGriff coached cornerbacks at Ole Miss while Dave Wommack coached safeties. They shared the defensive coordinator title.
With the Cowboys, Jones coached three different cornerbacks to first-team All-Big 12 status, most recently Brodrick Brown in 2011.
Two Jones pupils – Brown and Perrish Cox – were semifinalists for the Thorpe Award.
Jones gained SEC experience as a graduate assistant at Alabama in 2004.
As a full-time assistant he's coached cornerbacks at each stop including the 2006 season at Rice between two one-season stops at Tulsa, the latter holding the title of special teams coordinator.
He joined the Oklahoma State staff in 2008.

What Are The Campaign Strategies From Now 'Til 11/6/12?
If Obama loses in 2012...I fully expect him to run again, and win, in 2016. That is beside the point of the thread though.
I would "hire" AL Franken to write some zingers for Obama. There were times during the 'debate' last night when I felt that Romney was reciting a memorized bit of patter.
Here is what the Dems will do: 1. identify undecided voters in "your" precinct. know what makes them tick, on an individual basis. Address their issues: sell, sell, sell. 2. get your partisans to the polling place.
If Obama loses in 2012...I fully expect him to run again, and win, in 2016. That is beside the point of the thread though.
Obama: (1) Pour money into swing states; (2) Spend much more time in debate prep than fund raising...allow grass roots campaign to shoulder more the the fund raising load; (3) Attack Romney's character...take focus off of the debate, and frankly, the economy; (4) Don't overreach...walk the balance between #3 above and coming across as nothing more than a Chicago community organizer; (5) He needs to present himself as presidential...I don't know that going on Letterman benefits him...he needs to seize on opportunities to be the President (he blew that with Benghazi in his response, though I am sure other opportunities will spring forth); and (6)Use the media to be your attack dog...don't get into the muck...let the networks get their hands dirty.
The Obama group will eventually start screaming RACISM

I have published my notes from my conversation with Mr Phil Zimmermann, over at Greplaw.
I have published my notes from my conversation with Mr Phil Zimmermann, over at Greplaw.
I have been keeping myself busy with Greplaw submissions and Gnuheter submissions and maintenace (okay, Pawal does most of the maintenance work, but still!). A lot of GNU/Linux and open code advocacy conducted during 10 months running, giving speeches all over the country on legal issues related to open code. Two more to go before Midsummer's Eve, then I shall spend some lecture free time recovering .-)
The Norweigan "Byrett" (district court) will try the Jon Johansen DVD case on December 9, 2002. The trial was supposed to take place this summer, but the court decided to postpone the trial to find a technology savvy judge. The case will be tried
by one judge and a panel of two lay assessors.
Jon Johansen is being prosecuted by the Norwegian Economic Crime Unit (OKOKRIM) under Norwegian Criminal Code 145(2). Johansen (probably with help, see link below) created DeCSS software that can enable DVD playback on Linux. It is argued that the DeCSS software is a piracy tool.
Not that I want to tamper with Greplaw's current poll, but the speech Bruce Sterling gave at the O'Reilly conference a couple of days ago may prove to be this year's best speech on open code. The speech can not be easily be summed up in a few sentences, but if you are interested in open code you should read the transcript. Science fiction writer Sterling spans over a wide range of subjects, like the nature of the Cathedral, the gurus and why open source, basically, is about hanging out with the cool guys.
I just finished my interview with Nick Moffitt. Moffitt gives tounge-in-cheek answers on questions regarding why we should not use GIFs, what refund day was about plus something on Microsoft and GNU.
I applied classical game theory to open code and I concluded that a company selling proprietary software to third parties will never open its code if the company has a competitor. If you consider open code a benefit to society, you may want to propagate open code-legislation or otherwise try to stimulate new competition in the marketplace. Otherwise companies will stay proprietary and the transformation of the software license landscape will take a very long time.
The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law
School is excited
to announce the grand opening today of a new cyberlaw community discussion forum:
Our (admittedly lofty) goal? To make Greplaw the most interesting, useful, and frequently updated source of Internet law and policy news and discussion on the Internet.
How do we plan to do that? By connecting with the ever- growing number of cyberlaw-related news sites and law weblogs. That way, we can provide a common forum for the processing and integration of ideas and perspectives on developments that impact the Internet community as a whole: the evolution of copyright, the development of DRM technology, the enactment of new Internet-related legislation, legal aspects and implications of free software and open source, privacy issues and more.
Greplaw is run by Harvard Law School students and alumni and geared for a broad audience. Thus our aim is to make cyberlaw understandable and accessible to those who are new to the subject, while giving those already "in the know" a daily dose of interesting tidbits to chew on.
We also expect to bring a little attitude into the mix.
With this announcement we invite the Internet community to join the Berkman Center to weigh in with story submissions, ideas, and (of course) opinions.
Come check it out. We'll see you there!
The Greplaw staff
Decided upon invitation from Miguel to join the Greplaw staff. Did a short write-up on the shutdown of some news groups in Norway. I sent it to Declan McCullagh who ran it on Politech and to Drew Cullen who published it at The Register. Larry Lessig visited Stockholm the other day and gave a good lecture at the University of Stockholm.

Now that Apple has unveiled the iPhone 5, all its previous iPhones are obsolete — right? Maybe, maybe not: The answer varies from person to person and what they expect (and need) from their smartphones. One thing's for sure: An awful lot of people who will be rushing out to buy the iPhone 5 will have an older iPhone — like an iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, or iPhone 4S — suddenly sitting idle.
But an old iPhone doesn't have to be a techno-albatross hanging over your shoulders. There are plenty of great ways to put an older iPhone to use even if it's not your carry-everywhere device anymore. And if you truly don't need or want it around, there are solid options for putting it in good hands — or getting some cold hard cash for the device.
Keeping your old iPhone
For lots of people, keeping an old iPhone around makes plenty of sense. After all, every iPhone back to the 2009's iPhone 3GS can run Apple's latest and greatest iOS 6 (even if some whizbang features like Siri are limited to newer hardware), so the devices aren't exactly useless lumps.
Use as a backup phone — Keeping an old iPhone as a backup phone can be incredibly helpful if you're the sort of person who tends to leave their smartphone at work, in the car, or on that table next to the door where there's no way you could possibly miss it on the way out the door in the morning. This option is particularly helpful for frequent travelers. Often, it makes sense to use an entirely different phone when you're overseas to avoid ghastly international roaming charges.
Once an iPhone is off contact, the most common approach is to unlock the device and purchase a new SIM card that works with another carrier.
Of course, you can also keep an iPhone on contract with shared voice and data plans with many carriers, and just keep using it as you always have. Unlocking is best accomplished via the iPhone Dev Team — beware, there are lots of charlatans who will be happy to sell you the capability to unlock your iPhone, but the iPhone Dev Team's ever-evolving PwnageTool is free. Be aware that unlocking an iPhone breaks your license agreement with Apple and your carrier: Kiss any AppleCare, warranty support, or assistance from your previous carrier goodbye.
Where to take an unlocked iPhone? In the U.S., that's pretty much T-Mobile. T-Mobile is the only nationwide carrier that doesn't offer the iPhone — but it absolutely wants people to bring their unlocked iPhones on board. Starting today, T-Mobile stores will have iPhone 4S demo units and staff will be set up to help folks mover their iPhones over to unlimited data and pre-paid plans. T-Mobile's network doesn't offer speedy mobile data in most markets — the company is upgrading, but most areas are still limited to old-school 2G EDGE speeds. But some data is better than no data at all, and a few markets can offer iPhones T-Mobiles "4G" HSPA+ service — although devices like the iPhone 3GS will be limited to theoretical top speeds of 14.4 Mbps rather than T-Mobile amped-up 42 Mpbs network.
Outside, the U.S., the process is similar, only more common: GSM networks are the standard, and most operators will be happy to sell folks a SIM card to use their network. When you come back to the U.S., there's no need to keep paying for service — just reactivate it when (and if) you return to that country.
Use like an iPod touch — An iPhone without phone service is essentially a spiffy iPod touch — and plenty of people find an iPod touch is all the iOS experience they need. That old iPhone can get good use as a standalone camera — and when you're near Wi-Fi you can publish images to your iCloud Camera Roll and have them automatically synced across all your iOS devices and Macs. Another option: Pop the old iPhone into a speaker dock (or an audio system with an iPod option) and turn it into a home stereo. With iTunes Sharing, you can stream a home computer's iTunes library wirelessly to your stereo; similarly, services like Spotify, Pandora, SoundCloud, or TunedIn will constantly bring you new music.
Getting rid of your old iPhone
Maybe you just don't to keep an old phone around on principle — or maybe you truly have no use, space, or time for an older iOS device hanging around like stale leftovers. There are plenty of ways to make an old iPhone go away.
Before considering any of them, however: wipe your iPhone. This removes all your apps from the device, but also removes all your email, text messages, documents, photos, media library, and more. When you say goodbye to an iPhone, you don't want to give your life away with it.
- Back up your device to your computer using iTunes. That way you can restore it later if things go wrong.
- On your iOS device, go to Settings > General > Reset
- Choose "Erase All Content and Settings."
For devices running iOS 5 or newer, the process is quick: The process doesn't erase your data, it just nukes the encryption key that makes it accessible. Without that key, the information is effectively unrecoverable, probably even by massive government agencies with phalanxes of supercomputers. For the original iPhone, iPhone 3G, and the first two iPod touches, however, the processes actually rolls through all memory, repeatedly erasing it: Depending on the device's capacity, that could take several hours.
Pass it along — There are probably plenty of people in your life who could use an iPhone — or just an iPhone-turned-iPod touch. Many parents, aunts and uncles, and grandparents will all happily receive an old iPhone. In the case of seniors, it can be a particularly useful gift because even off-service iPhones can still dial 911. Folks who already have mobile phones may be able to transfer their service to the old iPhone, or they can set up new service with the iPhone's original carrier. Most U.S. carriers will support a device sold with their service, but won't activate devices from another carrier. The exception, of course, is T-Mobile, which welcomes compatible iPhones with open arms.
If there's no one in your life who can make good use of an old iPhone, odds are there's someone nearby who can. Many local charities will be happy to accept donations of old iPhones (and other devices) for senior citizens, victims of domestic abuse, the homeless and other disadvantaged people — you could make a big difference in someone's life. Similarly, plenty of nationwide charities will happily accept older iPhones as donation. Check out Cell Phones for Soldiers, Secure the Call, Phones 4 Charity. Another great option is the United Nations-mandated University for Peace.
Sell it — Your old iPhone is worth cold cash to many people. eBay and Craigslist are great places to find a willing buyer for your old iOS device. Of course, things like eBay, Craiglist, and online classifieds come with caveats: If you don't already use them for other things, we can't really recommend starting just to sell your old iPhone. But if you're already an experienced hand at eBay (or used to doing local deals on Craigslist) they're is probably the avenue to get the most money for your old device. Newer devices command the highest prices, but don't disregard the value of your accessories like cases, headsets, and chargers. Other options are services like Gazelle and NextWorth — Gazelle will even make offers even on dead and broken iPhones and pay via check, Amazon, or Paypal once they receive it; NextWorth pays by check, PayPal, or Target gift card. Sellers can generally get higher offers via eBay or Craigslist — but for most people getting those offers entails a fair bit of work and hassle, where Gazelle is almost painless.
Trade it in — If you don't want to deal with the hassle of selling your phone, plenty of places will take your old iPhone as a trade-in. A great example is Amazon.com: They're currently accepting trade-ins of old iPhones from AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint — although payment is in the form of an Amazon gift card, which may or may not be what you want. Verizon Wireless is also offering a trade-in program for the Verizon iPhone 4 and 4S, and plenty of other retailers (including Best Buy, Radioshack, and Gamestop) are offering iPhone trade-in programs, usually good for credit towards a new phone or other things they sell.
Even Apple is getting in on the trade-in action. It has recently partnered with PowerON and launched its own re-use and recycling program for almost everything it sells — including iPhones. Depending on a device's age and condition, Apple the devices may be recycled instead of reused, but Apple is offering reasonably competitive values for its old devices — albeit in the form of an Apple gift card rather than cash. You'll still do better on eBay or Craigslist, but — again — this is less hassle.
Recycle — If your iPhone is so old it has little or no value (or so beat up it barely works or doesn't work at all), recycling may be your best option. Services like Gazelle and Apple's recycling program can handle that for you, but you can probably save the cost (and carbon footprint) of shipping a device off to be recycled by taking advantage of e-waste recycling in your area. Many cities and states offer free electronics recycling programs, and most others have electronics recycling services available for a small fee. It's a better (and more eco-friendly) option than just tossing your unwanted devices in the trash.

'Come in, We're Closed': an enticing newish cookbook
Well, I'm only five months late on this: A review copy of "Come in, We're Closed: An Invitation to Staff Meals at the World's Best Restaurants" must have landed on my desk six months ago, but it was, um, buried under an embarrassingly tall stack of papers. I wish I'd seen it before I took a week off for the holidays — it's filled with lots of enticing recipes at restaurants where I'd really love to experience the staff meal. There are some great-looking dishes from Ad Hoc — a grilled Little Gems salad with garlic croutons and citrus vinaigrette and skirt steak stuffed with charred scallions. From Arzak (in San Sebastian, Spain), duck and shrimp paella, piquillo pepper confit and "beautiful lace fried eggs." From WD-50 in New York, a recipe for "peas 'n' bacon 'n' onions." A smart strawberry vacherin served verrine-style, in a glass, from Villa9Trois in Montreuil, France. (Those last two will be good in the spring.) And lots more.
It's a good idea for a cookbook: You get a cheffy aesthetic, but with dishes made from ingredients that can't be too expensive and don't require fussy preparation — the way most of us like to cook at home. Glad I cleaned my desk!
Come in, We're Closed: An Invitation to Staff Meals at the World's Best Restaurants by Christine Carroll and Jody Eddy, foreword by Ferran Adria, Running Press, $35.

If our schedules coincide we will have to meet on purpose rather than by accident. [;)]
Depending on all the drawing results I am thinking my first trip out will be Apr 6. There could some real interesting hunting conditions that early but I like the challenge of finding the first birds arriving back at higher elevations.
I'll keep you informed as my plans come together. It would be fun to meet up.
Do you ever worry that the birds will not be up in the hills yet at the first part of the season?

acclimating eel from fresh to brackish water
i recently had an impulse buy and ended up with a brackish eel described to me as "freshwater". so i had to make a decision my chicilids or the eel... i choose the eel and am ready to start adding the salt however i was wondering if anyone had any expieriance or tips when it comes to acclimating the eel. he is a Gymnothroax tile aka freshwater snowflake eel.
I have never kept ells (FW or SW) so take my advice accordingly
Based on my experience and research with marine fish, I can tell you that a great than 0.003 swing in salinity in a shorter period of time with marine fish can be fatal to more sensitive marine fish.
When it comes to acclimating fish to different water parameters, slower is typically better. Only bad things happen fast in this hobby.
Maybe aim for a less than 0.003 change in salinity within a 24 hour period until you get to your target level. I would suggest using a refactormeter to make sure you are getting accurate readingsIf you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.
"Not using a quarantine tank is like playing Russian roulette. Nobody wins the game, some people just get to play longer than others." - Anthony Calfo
Fishless Cycle Cycling with Fish Marine Aquarium Info [URL="http://saltwater.aquaticcommunity.com/"]
and also make sure to add a "salt" mix designed for marine applications instead of just aquarium salt or pure NaCl.
A common misconception is that seawater is just water mixed with salt. in reality there are
many, many different compounds in there(but we notice the salt the most due to its taste).

thank you for the info!!! since you have kept eels would you happen to have any suggestions on the best long term salinity range i have read that gymnothorax tile does really well at 1.018 but he is still kinda young (about 9 to 12 inches) so i wasnt sure if that was to high for him.

Roland CMU-800
The CMU-800 is a little four-channel mixer with internal preset voices and sequencer software for an Apple II or PC. There is a ribbon cable out the back with a card attached. It features analog synthesis with fixed sounds. Four note polyphony in the chord section, monophonic bass and melody synth sections, and an analog drum section.
The Chord/Melody section has only 1 sound. The drum section is similar to the TR-606 Drumatix, and the bass section is similar to the TB-303 Bassline (some limited adjustments in sound were possible via software). It has separate melody, bass, chord, rhythm, mix outputs. There's also 8 cv/gate outs to run external analog equipment by control voltages, and there's a click in/out. On the face it has knobs for portamento, Melody sustain & decay, Bass decay, and Chord decay. It also has volume level sliders for each of the instruments and a master volume slider. The software uses a similar music programming method as the MC-8 or MC-4.
It's definitely a limited instrument today, but it's unique, quirky and capable of some nice analog Roland sounds for cheap. If you have an old Apple or PC lying around, and access to the correct software you're in luck! Otherwise the CMU-800 is just a fancy paper-weight. It has been used by Astral Projection.

Learning Lesson: Toasty Wind
|Learn the source for the earth's wind comes from the sun.
|Using a toaster, the students will observe that wind is created by the rising heat.
|3 minutes
|The hotter the toaster the better demonstration. Modern toasters have an automatic shutoff if they get too hot. If your toaster does not get hot enough then have the safety removed to enable it to remain on during the presentation.
|Thunderstorm Safety
We feel the wind everyday. The air is almost always in motion. One day it may be from the north and the next day from the south. There are many sources for wind: mechanical sources such as fans and, in nature, falling rain as it drags air along. But what is the origin of wind on the earth?
- Turn the toaster on to allow the unit to heat.
- Ask the student where wind comes from.
- Ask the students if a toaster can create wind.
- Hold the pinwheel above (10-15 inches) the top of the toaster to allow the pinwheel to spin.
- Turn the toaster off.
Note: While hot plates and open flames will produce better results, the toaster is utilized to minimize fire risks should a student seek reproduce the experiment at home.
Most younger students will say clouds or trees cause the wind and that toasters cannot produce wind. They will quickly see that toasters do produce wind. Explain that wind is just air molecules in motion.
The glowing coils in the toaster produces infrared radiation, heating the toaster. The heated metal then warms the air in the toaster, making the air less dense, and therefore rises creating wind.
The source for the earth's heat is the sun. The radiation from the sun heats the ground. The ground, in turn, heats the air and as demonstrated, the air rises. As it rises, cooler air comes in to replace the rising air; what we feel as wind.
The faster the air rises, the faster the wind blows to take its place. Every time will feel the wind, regardless if is from the north, south, east, or west, somewhere else around the world the wind is rising. The term for this rising air is convection.
The wind patterns we experience have their source in convection.
Thunderstorm Safety
It is the rising air that creates thunderstorms in the first place. When thunderstorms approach your first danger is generally lightning.
- REMEMBER that if you can hear thunder, you are close enough to a storm to be struck by lightning. Go to safe shelter immediately!
- Move to a sturdy building or car. Do not take shelter in small sheds, under isolated trees, or in convertible automobiles.
- If no shelter is nearby or available, get in the a hard top car and keep the windows up.
- If you are boating or swimming, get out of boats and away from the water, get to land and find shelter immediately.
- If you are indoors, unplug unnecessary appliances and only use the phone for emergencies.
- If you are caught outside and no shelter is available find a low spot away from trees, fences, and poles; or squat low to the ground on the balls of your feet, place your hands on your knees with your head between them, make yourself the smallest target possible and minimize your contact with the ground.

A sign warns drivers entering a canyon east of Hayden to watch for falling rocks. A rockslide in the canyon closed U.S. Highway 40 for two hours Monday, and the Colorado Department of Transportation crews, which can be seen in the background, were still working Tuesday to remove a large boulder that limited traffic to one lane.

|Gear Talk - Fly Stuff Spoken Here Sage advice & fresh perspectives
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Using your fingers (thumb and forefinger) is the best hackle guard you can every buy. And the price is right as well. I know, I know, until you get the hang of it, you well poke some holes in your fingers or tie some hackle down; but the end result of learning how to hold the hackle back out of the way with your fingers is worth the trouble to learn how.
If you absolutely must have a hackle guard, get yourself a bodkin that has a small, wire loop on one end. The loop goes over the hook eye and is a very functional and easy to use hackle guard. And bodkins with this loop on the end are not expensive.
Cheap options....
If you REALLY need one, consider (depending on fly size) using either cut-off sections of plastic straws, "twizzle" sticks, coffee stirrers, etc. These will do the job, and don't cost much at all (if you are dumb enough to buy 'em!), free at most McDonalds or other fast-food places.
|Dble Haul
I suggest that you continue to tie without a hackle guard. This probably isn't what you wanted to hear, but practice and more practice will eventually show you that they aren't necessary (IMO).
In lieu of a hackle guard, practice using your left fingers (if right handed) to pinch the hackles out of the way while securing them in place and/or finishing the fly. After a while, you may see that the guard would only be a crutch that impedes the development of your manual skills.
My two cents.
Hackle Guards?
I'm looking to buy a hackle gard or set of hackle guards to hold hackle, wings. etc. out of the way as I finish the head of the fly. Are there any hackle guards out there that slide on to the hook and stay in place without having to hold them? I would like to free up both hands for tying. Any recommendations on hackle guards that meet these criteria?
Also do you guys think that hackle guards are necessary or helpful or are there other tricks to easily finish the head of a dry fly? I'm finding it hard to hold everything back with my fingers as I finish the head. Suggestions?

Chinese New Year: Where will you celebrate the Year of the Dragon?
What I mostly think about, when I'm not thinking about food, is food. Specifically, Chinese food. More often than I would like to admit, I cannot shake the thought of the roast pork at First Chinese Barbecue in Plano, for instance. I can't sleep at night because I'm thinking of dumplings. Every winter when Chinese New Year approaches, it gets worse.
Do you share my affliction? If so, where do you plan to celebrate? I can't decide.
The Dallas area, especially north of LBJ, is a wonderland of Chinese cooking — you'll find some terrific places in last year's the Best in DFW: Chinese Restaurants story. As far as I know, all the places except Fu Zhou Cuisine are still open. You can also eat extremely well at North China in Plano, which I discovered too late to include in the Best in DFW roundup.
For the deep-pocketed, there's an event coming up that sounds amazing: a Chinese New Year menu at Five Sixty. The fixed-price menu (5 courses plus amuses) is $125 per person, or $175 per person with wine pairings. What's on it? Wok-fired lobster dumplings with XO chile sauce; roasted loup de mer (aka branzino) with preserved lemon and black pepper sauce; applewood-smoked Peking duck with Chinese mustard and duck fried rice; Szechuan pepper-crusted filet with wok-fired longevity noodles; and golden pineapple sticky cake with black pepper ice cream and gold dusted chocolate talon.
The feast is available January 23 through February 3, and Wolfgang Puck will make an appearance at the dinner on February 1.

Introducing the AT-2. The compact AT-2 speaker delivers a level of deep bass not previously thought possible from a "bookshelf"-sized speaker. The AT-2's patented H-PAS bass system (Hybrid Pressure Acceleration System) is the reason. It combines elements of several speaker technologies--acoustic suspension, bass reflex, inverse horn, and transmission line--in a unique configuration to deliver powerful low-frequency response that breaks the "Iron Law" of loudspeaker acoustics: the notion that you couldn't have deep bass extension, good system sensitivity and reasonable enclosure size all in one design.

Connectivity The AT-2 uses the highest-quality gold-plated 5-way binding posts to ensure the best connection possible. Dual sets of posts are provided to allow for bi-amplification, when the very highest quality installation is desired. In addition, a 3-position tweeter level control makes it easy to adjust for different listening room acoustics or personal preferences. Aesthetics The curved side panels are finished in a luxurious gloss black paint with subtle metallic flake highlight, applied in a multi-coat process and hand-rubbed to a lustrous shine. The H-PAS vent at the bottom of the cabinet is precisely calculated to be a certain percentage of the driver's total radiation area. About 6 inches deep into the cabinet from the opening of the vent is a cross-hatched metal "debris guard" that prevents small objects from entering the speaker. Quality Materials, Innovative Design The crossover in the AT-2 uses the best components available (1% tolerance), hardwired on custom-tooled epoxy boards. Lesser speakers traditionally use 10% tolerance components hand-wired on masonite boards. The AT-2's innovative tweeter is a complete "system" onto itself. An oversized 4mm treated textile surround (rarely found on any tweeter, at any price) gives this transducer exceptional excursion, which facilitates its low 2kHz crossover frequency. An integral aluminum back chamber reduces the tweeter's resonant frequency to 700Hz The aluminum rear chamber also functions as a massive heat sink that allows for a greatly increased voltage drive through the HP x-over section, for great power handling and extended output levels. A convenient wire management system ensures a neat installation, and allows for the use of virtually any cable imaginable. Note the leather-grained surface, which is present on the rear, top and front baffle section (behind the grille).

I have always been amazed by how many posts some have to their credit. Sometimes I feel like I post a lot-too much even. But I have only 550 plus. Some have 5-6-7000!! I was just shutting down the computer and heading down to the duck camp for a shoot tomorrow when I noticed that a thread I had offered solutions on was being answered by others somewhat differently. Then I noticed that 7 others who had different advice had collectively almost 30,000 posts. That's enough to make anyone question their own post validity. No wonder some lurk!
Glad I'm going duck hunting though!

Dengue fever is a virus-caused disease that is spread by mosquitoes.
See also: Dengue hemorrhagic fever
O'nyong-nyong fever; Dengue-like disease; Breakbone fever
Dengue fever is caused by one of four different but related viruses. It is spread by the bite of mosquitoes, most commonly the mosquito Aedes aegypti, which is found in tropic and subtropic regions. This area includes parts of:
Dengue fever is being seen more often in world travelers.
Dengue fever should not be confused with Dengue hemorrhagic fever, which is a separate disease that is caused by the same type of virus, but has much more severe symptoms.
Dengue fever begins with a sudden high fever, often as high as 104 - 105 degrees Fahrenheit, 4 to 7 days after the infection.
A flat, red rash may appear over most of the body 2 to 5 days after the fever starts. A second rash, which looks like the measles, appears later in the disease. Infected people may have increased skin sensitivity and are very uncomfortable.
Other symptoms include:
Tests that may be done to diagnose this condition include:
There is no specific treatment for dengue fever. You will need fluids if there are signs of dehydration. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is used to treat a high fever.
Avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), and naproxen (Aleve). They may increase bleeding problems.
The condition generally lasts a week or more. Although uncomfortable, dengue fever is not deadly. People with the condition should fully recover.
Call your health care provider if you have traveled in an area where dengue fever is known to occur and have developed symptoms of the disease.
Clothing, mosquito repellent, and netting can help reduce exposure to mosquitoes. Traveling during periods of minimal mosquito activity can also be helpful.
Mosquito abatement programs may reduce the risk of infection.

Loading Please Wait
More akin to a meander through a haunted house than a fulfilling feature film, the latest work from Paranormal Activity auteur Oren Peli (he produces, Bradley Parker directs) relies on his tried-and-true formula of favoring atmospheric terror over visceral scares. Treating the Chernobyl disaster with the same gravitas as a ghost story, he follows archetypal protagonists — the committed couple, the confident lothario, the innocent ingénue, etc. — as they make their way through the titular city, avoiding fallout-inflicted ghouls we never actually see. The claustrophobia of the visual style, which cycles pointlessly through found footage, unbroken master shots, and classically composed sequences, leads to some spooky scares. But the film's bark is worse than its bite, and its constant teases wear thin, even over a 90-minute runtime. "It's a metaphor," one of them utters as he poses for a photo in front of a decrepit reactor. I don't buy it.
