An emerging consensus for open evaluation: 18 visions for the future of scientific publishing
October 29, 2012Diana Deca and I edited a collection of 18 visions for open evaluation and the future of scientific publishing. Our Editorial summarising the whole collection is here. The 18 individual papers are here, including my own vision, which is an elaborated and updated representation of the ideas I started to develop on this blog.
The future of scientific publishing: Open post-publication peer review
November 12, 2009The current system
The essential drawbacks of the current system of scientific publishing are all connected to the particular way that peer review is used to evaluate papers. In particular, the current system suffers from a lack of quality and transparency of the peer review process, a lack of availability of evaluative information about papers to the public, and excessive costs incurred by a system, in which private publishers are the administrators of peer review. These problems can all be addressed by open post-publication peer review (OPR). Together with open access (OA), which is generally accepted as desirable, OPR will revolutionize scientific publishing.
Open post-publication peer review (OPR)
Open: Any scientist can instantly publish a peer review on any published paper. The scientist will submit the review to a public repository. Reviews can include written text, figures, and numerical quality ratings. The repository will link each paper to all its reviews, such that that readers are automatically presented with the evaluative meta-information. In addition, the repository allows anyone to rank papers according to a personal objective function computed on the basis of the public reviews and their numerical quality ratings. Peer review is open in both directions: (1) Any scientist can freely submit a review on any paper. (2) Anyone can freely access any review.
Post-publication: Reviews are submitted after publication, because the paper needs to be publicly accessible in order for any scientist to be able to review it. Post-publication reviews can add evaluative information to papers published in the current system (which have already been secretly reviewed before publication). For example, a highly controversial paper appearing in Science may motivate a number of supportive and critical post-publication reviews. The overall evaluation from these public reviews will affect the attention given to the paper by potential readers. The actual text of the reviews may help readers understand and judge the details of the paper.
Peer review: Like the current system of pre-publication evaluation, the new system relies on peer review. For all of its faults, peer review is the best mechanism available for evaluation of scientific papers.
In the future system, peer review is more similar to getting up to comment on a talk presented at a conference. Because these reviews do not decide about publication, they are less affected by politics. Because they are communications to the community, their power depends on how compelling their arguments are to the community. This is in contrast to secret peer review, where uncompelling arguments can prevent publication because editors largely rely on reviewers' judgments, because there is too little time and no formal mechanism for a judgment of the reviewers' judgments.
Signed or anonymous: The open peer reviews can be signed or anonymous. Reviews will be digitally authenticated by public-key cryptography. In analyzing the review information to rank papers, signed reviews can be given greater weight if there is evidence that they are more reliable.
Paper selection by arbitrary paper evaluation functions (PEFs): The necessary selection of papers for reading can be based on the reviews and their associated numerical judgments. Any reader can define a PEF based on content and quality criteria and will automatically be informed about papers best conforming to his or her criteria. The PEF could for example, exclude anonymous reviews, exclude certain reviewers, weight evidence for central claims over potential impact of the results etc.
Multiple lenses on the literature
The literature can accessed through webportals that prioritize papers according to different PEFs. Organizations and individuals will define PEFs according to their own priorities. The free definability of PEFs will create a plurality of perspectives of the literature. The continual evolution of multiple PEFs renders the evaluation system "ungamable" because PEFs can be adjusted in response to attempts to game the system.
The nature of a review in the current and future systems
Brief argument for open post-publication peer review
Full argument for open post-publication peer review
Q: Can't research blogging serve the function of open post-publication peer review?
March 8, 2009Short answer: Research blogging is important, but we also need a crystallized scientific record of post-publication reviews.
Research blogging fills an important gap: between informal discussions and formal publications. Unlike a private informal discussion, a blog is publicly accessible. Unlike a scientific paper, a blog post can be altered or removed from public access. Blog posts are also often anonymous, whereas papers are signed and author-authenticated.
These more fluid properties of blogs make for their unique contribution to scientific culture. However, the very fluidity of blogs also makes them inadequate as the sole vessel of scientific publishing. In particular, blogging lacks the quality of "scholarly crystallization".
A scientific publication needs to be crystallized in the sense that it is a constant historical record that can be accessed permanently and therefore cited.
Crystallized scientific publications include papers and reviews. Reviews are crystallized publications that serve mainly to evaluate one or several other crystallized publications. Crystallized publications are typically digitally authenticated documents that reference other scientific publications.
Crystallization does not mean that the work cannot be revised.
Revisions can be made and a revision can "take precedence" over the previous version of a publication. This means the revision will be the first thing seen by the user. However, the author cannot edit a published paper. Instead a revision is a separately published document linked to the previous version of the paper and accompanied by a "justification statement" that addresses the changes (typically in response to reviewer's comments). The justification statement is needed for the revision to take precedence over the previous version and inherit its references: The authors of signed reviews are automatically informed about revisions and need to either reiterate or revise their supportive or critical reviews. Revisions may also be limited to two per year.
As a consequence, each publication and each revision requires a substantial commitment of its authors. The entire history of original publications and revisions remains permanently publicly accessible and the authors have no right or ability to remove this record.
Q: Why are there so few post-publication comments in PLoS ONE?
February 13, 2009PLoS ONE is a lower-tier journal. Most scientists have a backlog of potentially highly important papers to catch up on. It is, thus, to be expected that most papers will get few reviews.
If we ever get the ultimate solution, i.e. the ideal free publication system with open post-publication peer review, most papers will get few reviews – just as is the case now for PLoS ONE.
On the one hand, this serves a positive function: The community allocates its resources so as to pay more attention to papers with evidence of high quality. On the other hand, there is the danger that good or great work goes completely ignored.
To avoid the zero-reviews scenario, the traditional editor-soliciting of reviews remains an important mechanism in the new system: It helps get a basic quality estimate for each serious scientific paper, so as to get the broader reception of the paper on its way.
An additional mechanism for the new system is that of author-solicited reviews. This would work similarly to recommendations and could help extremely controversial work to acquire some support. Solicited reviews will need to be marked as author-solicited or editor-solicited, so this information can be taken into account by any automatic paper assessment function.
Open post-publication peer review is distinct from the PLoS ONE system. PLoS ONE combines traditional pre-publication review with post-publication commenting. While it promotes publishing of the pre-publication reviews alongside the paper, it allows reviewers to opt for their reviews to remain secret.
In open post-publication peer review, every review is public, including its numerical ratings. In such a system, each PLoS ONE paper would have two to three editor-solicited reviews at its side (PLoS ONE states that the average number of pre-publication reviews is 2.6) and the papers could be ranked according to their ratings.
In addition, the reviews would assess and rate importance along with technical soundness, whereas in PLoS ONE the reviews assess only technical soundness.
Technical soundness is a low bar, so acceptance in PLoS ONE will not place a random paper high on anyone's list of reading priorities. The best papers in PLoS ONE probably deserve continued evaluation through peer review. The editor-solited review process should therefore be used to get initial numerical estimates of paper quality on multiple scales including importance. This would allow PLoS ONE fans to prioritize their reading of the journal and comment on the best papers.
Q: How can scientists be motivated to submit reviews in an open peer review system?
February 13, 2009Scientists accept requests to review papers in the current system – this will not change. In the current system, scientists are approached by editors and asked to review new papers. They usually comply. In the new system, they will be approached similarly often with the same request – only the reviews will be public.
The motivation to review a paper is greater if the review is an open letter to the community. The fact that reviews are public makes reviewing a more meaningful and motivating activity.
In terms of power, the reviewer loses and gains: The reviewer loses the power to prevent or promote the publication of a paper by means of a secret review. The reviewer gains the power to speak to the whole community about the merits and shortcomings of the paper. The power lost is the kind of power that corrupts, the power gained is the kind of power that challenges us in a positive way.
With power comes responsibility. Again, the reviewer loses and gains: The reviewer loses the responsibility to decide the fate of the paper. This kind of responsibility is an ethical burden and creates political conflicts of interest. (The ethical burden is exacerbated by the fact that the judgment of two to four reviewers often turns out to be mistaken: it takes more minds and time to assess scientific advances.) The reviewer gains the responsibility to contribute to the community's understanding of the new paper. This kind of responsibility is an honor and part of the collective cognitive process of the scientific community.
Reviewers may choose to post their pre-publication reviews written for the current system. Once an open post-publication peer review system is in place, it exists as an option for scientists. Scientists can post their reviews of papers that appeared in the past, if they think their arguments are still noteworthy and the papers sufficiently important.
Papers will still be submitted to journals and reviewed before publication for some time to come. However, every scientist reviewing a paper will ponder a new option:
After writing this review and submitting it to the journal, I could publish my ideas on this paper alongside the paper itself. So should I write this review as an open letter to the community?
The publication of a subset of the carefully written pre-publication reviews that are currently seen only by editors and authors, will greatly add to the depth of the scientific literature. The reviews chosen by their authors for entry into the open system are likely to be of above-average quality. Unlike secret reviews, open reviews derive their power from compelling argument. This provides a strong scientific (rather than political) incentive.
Reviews will be citable publications in their own right. This will motivate reviewers in terms of quality and quantity. Reviews like papers will be citable publications. Initially reviews will not themselves be peer reviewed publications. As the system develops, however, reviews themselves will receive excitatory and inhibitory references from other publications.
Reviewing will gain status, because it is critical to the hierarchical organization of an exploding body of knowledge. Reviewing will be a more important and more formally acknowledged component of scientific activity than it currently is. This is needed in order to evaluate and integrate our exploding body of knowledge.
Highly visible and controversial papers will generate motivation to publish reviews from the beginning. Controversial studies, such as the upcoming paper on "voodoo correlations" in social neuroscience by Vul et al., already motivate many careful responses. Currently, these responses are published by email and on blogs. Some of them will later appear in journals. If a general system for post-publication review existed, these responses would have been published in that system – in addition to being featured on blogs.
It is interesting to note that the Vul et al. paper has been intensely discussed on the web and covered in Nature, the New Scientist, Scientific American, and Newsweek, but will only "appear" – an almost irrelevant concept – in September 2009. This provides an extreme illustration of one of the shortcomings of the current system of scientific publishing: the substantial publication delays. The journal's making the paper pretty and physically printing a few copies is really an afterthought in this example. Note, however, that the journal was key in selecting the paper for publication after review, thus justifying the attention it got. The initial three reviews will therefore often be solicited by editors in the new system – as they are in the current system.
The number and content of signed reviews written by a given scientist are public pieces of information, thus motivating scientists to contribute. A general open peer review system allows reviewing activity to be analyzed with the same methods used to analyze other publication activity. For anonymous reviews, each scientist's number and distribution of ratings should also be made publicly available. This information will enable reviewer-specific rating normalizations to be used in computing an overall value index for a scientific paper. A scientist's reviewing rate and proportion of signed reviews will be public and might, in extreme cases, affect other scientists' willingness to review his or her papers.

Tale of the tape
Tale Of The Tape: Detroit Lions At Washington Redskins
Quarterback Matthew Stafford is going to be facing a desperate team after the Redskins endured back-to-back humiliating losses in the first two weeks of the season. The Redskins will come after the Lions with everything they have and Stafford has to be prepared. While he is a physically gifted leader, he has not always taken advantage of these types of situations. | Quarterback | RGIII does not resemble anything like he did for the majority of his rookie season when he was the most dynamic player in the league. He does not appear to have the quickness, acceleration or confidence that he did a year ago. If he can't shake off the rust or improve quickly, it will be a long season for the Redskins. |
The Lions have the potential for a big offensive year because they have a solid offensive line in addition to the skill players needed to make big plays. Calvin Johnson is almost certainly the best receiver in the game. In addition to his physical gifts, Johnson will sacrifice his body to block for others. Reggie Bush (knee) is unlikely to play and that means Joique Bell will most likely get the bulk of the carries. | Offense | The Redskins have solid offensive weapons but not spectacular weapons. Alfred Morris was a huge force last year, but when the Redskins are behind by two touchdowns or more, he is not as big a factor. Pierre Garcon and Leonard Hankerson are decent receivers, but they are not able to turn a game around when the Redskins trail by multiple touchdowns. |
The defense has a chance to be quite good, but head coach Jim Schwartz needs the Lions to be disciplined. This means that defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh must refrain from crucial penalties that hurt the team. Fellow DT Nick Fairley (knee) did not play vs. the Cardinals in Week Two, but he should be back for this game. Outside linebacker DeAndre Levy can be a game-changing force. | Defense | The Redskins have been more than a step behind in their first two games against the Eagles and Packers. The Lions have the kind of big-play ability to take advantage of this deficiency. Outside linebacker Ryan Kerrigan may be their most dynamic player, but he's not enough to turn this unit around. |
David Akers has taken over as kicker for the Lions and while he has a powerful leg, he is no longer the consistent threat he was during his prime with the Eagles. Punter Sam Martin is just ordinary while return specialist Micheal Spurlock is not a proven threat. | Special Teams | The Redskins don't have much on special teams, and when they don't have placekicker Kai Forbath, as they didn't in Week Two vs. the Packers, they are at a severe disadvantage. Backup John Potter looked shaky in missing a FG attempt vs. Green Bay. Sav Rocca is a good but not great punter. |
The winner is

Whick would you give up...booze or mobile device? Women and shoes. Porn might not be a bad sexual influence..
As expected, the Rolling Stones performed a surprise club gig in Los Angeles on Saturday night (April 27th). The gig, which took place in the Echo Park section of town at the venue Echoplex, had fans scrambling for tickets to the show. Hundreds of Stones die-hards lined up at the El Ray Theatre in the Miracle Mile section of town for the chance to buy a single $20 ticket. Pollstar reported that there were heavy regulations imposed on the lucky few: "Buyers were limited to one ticket, and they were required to pay with cash, show a government-issued ID, wear a wristband with their name on it and be photographed. Their names were verified at the venue, which has a capacity of about 700."
Mick Jagger greeted the crowd following the band's second number, "Respectable," by joking: "Welcome to Echo Park, a neighborhood that's always coming up -- and I'm glad you're here to welcome an up-and-coming band."
"You Got Me Rocking"
"She's So Cold"
"Live With Me"
"Street Fighting Man"

Grateful Dead co-founder and guitarist Bob Weir collapsed on Thursday night (April 25th) during a performance at Port Chester, New York's Capitol Theatre. Weir and Dead bassist Phil Lesh were performing with their side band, Furthur, when during the Dead classic, "Unbroken Chain, the 65-year-old Weir appeared uneasy on his feet, slumped over, and collapsed. The band soldiered on as roadies attended to Weir, who eventually completed the song while sitting down.
The band finished the show without Weir, wrapping things up with "Stella Blue," and "China Cat Sunflower/I Know You Rider," before encoring with "Built To Last." Phil Lesh told the concerned crowd that Weir had pulled a shoulder muscle earlier in the day while working out at the gym. The concert marked the final night of a nine-show run at the Capitol Theatre -- with Rolling Stone reporting that newly revamped venue's lobby bar was named in honor of Jerry Garcia. Furthur performed two nights later, on Saturday, April 27th, at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall without incident.
Bob Weir said that he still feels as passionate about performing the Dead's material today as he did when he was on the road with Jerry Garcia: "I love these tunes. I mean, I love 'em as deeply as I love anything. There was a while that I couldn't even play 'em 'cause I couldn't, y'know, I couldn't -- emotionally, I wasn't ready for it. And then I got lonesome enough for 'em, and then, y'know, every time we'd bring out a new one of those old chestnuts, y'know, I'd get plenty misty -- and I still do."
Journey has a total of 11 North American dates on the books for this summer -- including a just-added show for July 24th in Windsor, Ontario. Next month then band is hitting the road for a six-week European jaunt, and return home to kick off the summer shows on July 20th in Minot, North Dakota. The tour will also take in stops in London, Ontario; Hershey, Pennsylvania; Lampe, Montana; Springfield and Highland Park, Illinois and Las Vegas, before wrapping on September 1st in Snowmass, Colorado.
2013 marks the 30th anniversary of Journey's Frontiers album. The album, which hit Number Two and featured the band's classic Top 10 single "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)," now features several bonus tracks -- including the non-album Top 10 single, "Only The Young" -- which went on to be featured on the soundtrack to 1985's Vision Quest.
Keyboardist Jonathan Cain said that he's glad that Frontiers has been restored to its full glory in the years since its release: "It's kind neat to see Frontiers out there, also in its entirety. The album is now put back together exactly like we made it. Y'know, we don't have to worry about the time restrictions, so Frontiers (now) has 'Only The Young' on it, it has 'Ask The Lonely' (laughs) on it -- y'know, the two songs that we pulled. I didn't pull, but the band had decided to pull. So, when you listen to Frontiers now, it's the way we actually recorded it, and it's quite a great record with those two songs that were originally supposed to be in it, y'know?
New research has found that every time you "like" or "friend" a brand on business on Facebook, it's worth about $174.17 to them, a 28 percent increase since 2010. Social intelligence company Syncapse looked at factors such as product spending, loyalty, propensity to recommend to others, media value acquisition cost and brand affinity to determine the value of a "like" or "friend." A brand or company's Facebook fans spend more money not only on the brands they "like" or "friend," but also within the brand's category, and are also 18 percent more satisfied with their brands than nonfriends, and 11 percent more likely to continue using the brand.
An elderly couple in Stockholm, Sweden who blasted Iron Maiden songs towards their neighbors' home -- at various times of day and night -- has been charged with harassment. According to police, the couple was seeking revenge on new neighbors who were too loud. The 71-year-old woman said she had been taking sleeping pills in order to sleep through the new neighbors' loud noises. The 81-year-old man said, "We wanted to give a taste of their own medicine." Meanwhile the neighbors told authorities, "The harassment has just carried on, I am completely broken down. How can I keep living here?" (UPI)
A Lingerie firm by the name of HommeMystere has launched a new line of lingerie for men. The line includes padded bras and thongs. According to the Australian company, undergarments include "comfortable men's panties that really do fit," and "bra straps that don't fall off the shoulder, teddies that don't ride up halfway through the night and quality soft fabrics that feel great for all day wear." The company added, "We provide our lingerie for guys. We are not concerned if you are gay, straight, vegetarian, republican, Anglican, Martian or any other persuasion. We just design and manufacture attractive luxury underwear for men." (Daily Mail)
Would you give up your smartphone for the duration of your vacation if it meant you'd get a discount on the cost of your hotel room? Apparently not many people would. A new survey comissioned by SpringHill Suites by Marriott questioned over one-thousand adults about what they'd be willing to give up to get 25-percent off a hotel stay. They found that 85-percent said they'd be willing to give up anything for a discount, and of them, 54-percent said they would give up alcohol. However, just 26-percent said they would give up access to their smartphone or tablet, and just 13-percent said they'd give up their camera and the ability to document their trip. (Mashable)
The stereotype that women love shoe shopping might actually be true. A new survey from Racked.com finds that 35-percent of American women own more than 20-pairs of shoes, and 26-percent admit that Ugg boots are among those pairs. By contrast, the survey found that just four-percent of women said they own a pair of red-soled Christian Louboutins. The survey covered nearly seven-thousand women across the country in honor of Shoe Week. Fourteen-percent of participants said they own over 50-pairs of shoes, while 46-percent said they own fewer than 20-pairs of shoes. (Daily Mail)
A new study finds that porn might not be as poor an influence on people's sexual choices as previously thought. To find this, Dutch researchers conducted an online survey of 4,600 young people. The survey asked them about sex acts from threesomes to one-night stands, and experiences with prostitution. They found that among 15-to-25-year-olds 90-percent of males and nearly half of females had used porn some time in the previous year. Researchers say hightened exposure to X-rated material was associated with high-risk sexual practices, but that the connection is not clear cut. Researcher Gert Martin Hald says that pornography is "just one factor among many that may influence the sexual behaviors of young people." Hald noted that educators and policy makers should expand the list of potential factors that may contribute to risky behavior so there may be more effective ways found to stop the behavior. (Time)

Penn State stayed hot on the recruiting trail on Wednesday morning, hauling in a commitment from Flemington (N.J.) Hunterdon Central linebacker Jason Cabinda. The senior prospect was previously committed to Syracuse.
Cabinda confirmed the news with Lions247 on Wednesday morning.
"It was where I wanted to be from the beginning, and in my heart that's where I was going to go to continue the tradition of Linebacker U," he said via text message. "The situation just works out better for me. It's my life and I have chosen it, this is 100 percent final."
The 6-foot-1, 220-pound Cabinda camped for the Nittany Lions back in June, but the scholarship-strapped program couldn't offer a spot at that point. Before committing to the Orange on July 1, he has scholarship offers from Boston College, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Navy, Old Dominion and Temple.
When the Nittany Lions lost a pledge from Jared Wangler, the Nittany Lions once again started showing interest. Penn State offered on September 29 after sending John Butler and Ron Vanderlinden out to New Jersey to see him play in person.
Cabinda visited Penn State on October 12 for the Michigan game, calling his time at Beaver Stadium 'pretty special.' He spent much of the day with fellow commits Antoine White, Troy Reeder and DeAndre Thompkins.
Carrying an 86, three-star rating by 247Sports, Cabinda is ranked the No. 23 prospect in New Jersey. He is listed as an athlete, as he is also a standout running back in high school.
Cabinda becomes the 15th member of Penn State's Class of 2014 and the third commitment since Mike Gesicki committed on Friday.
In six games this season, Cabinda has run for 732 yards and nine touchdowns. He will miss the next three weeks of the season after having his appendix removed.

syracusefan.com is a free site with some discussion but nothing irrational. They figured he was gone but hoped he would stick around long enough to take an official. They hoped we would fill the LB spot with someone like Keihn instead. They realized that Michigan week made a strong impression. I found this exchange amusing...
"Wasn't Ohio St the heavy favorite for Giescki? Must have been quite the impression"
"No according to half the Rutgers clowns that come here he was an RU lean LOL"

I bought this at spirit and it was a HUGE success hope they make more jumping props in 2014! Keep up the good work spirit!
Worried about it lasting long.
Would use this at Halloween & anytime I want to Frighten the Wife who really hates even the smallest of spiders !
Worked great at first...motion sensor failed after 3 jumps....mechanics are not the greatest....overall look is great....
Idea was great. Scary when working correctly. However, mechanically inferior. Had 3 different ones that the jumping mechanism broke or was impaired. Motion sensor also intermittant. This was all using approved A.C. connection so batteries not an issue
This drew the screams out of the trick or treaters!
I picked this up on sale right after Halloween, so I've yet to try it out on Halloween night. However it was easy to set up and worked well being triggered by sound. Some props seem to need loud or sharp noises, this triggered easilly. It pops up quickly via 2 springs, and is loud, both of which are good things. The sound effects go on for a bit, though.
The sensor did not work well enough and the batteries kept draining so It would not work 90% of the time.it wasn't scary or work.The kids spent more time tring to set it than working in the haunted house. not happy
Purchased this for a halloween party we had. Placed it between shrubs and used the step pad. Thank goodness it was outdoors, so many people spilled their drink as they walked by. Everyone thought it was hilarious. Can't wait to hide it in a new location next year. It would be great to scare trick or treaters too! If you're ok with doing that. LOL
The scare worked well when activation pad used. However, didn't always activate. Weak mechanism caused retraction problems where unit would stop working. Recommend ac adapter
We added a few new props to our annual haunted house this year and while there were many wonderful screams and yells and gasps, nothing made them run like the jumping spider. We even had one mom accidentally trigger it, and when it got her, she literally dropped her kids candy bags and ran across the street while her kids rolled on the driveway laughing. Best prop we have added to our collection to date.
Be sure to screw down the battery cover. When the spider jumps, the batteries come out and you may think it is broken.
I used this this Halloween for the first time. It worked well. Assembly was tricky; the directions aren't too informative, and it took a while to figure out how to get it right. I had it outside (although it's NOT listed for outdoor use). It was misty but it continued to work well. It makes noise, a kind of chittering, as it goes back down after jumping. I wish it made noise as it was jumping also; it would add to the scare factor.
Since it was raining on halloween, I placed it on my porch and used the foot pad to control. Even the adults jumped!
Good and scary for the big kids.
Had the foot pad hooked up to it to not scare little ones. Works well.
I set this out on my porch for Halloween. It got lots of screams and a few people crying. It was great. This would be great in a haunted house too.
This was the hit of the neighborhood. We hid it behind a low screen wall with the "Step on me" pad, and sat back and watched the show. Lots of screams followed by tons of laughter. Best part was watching the previous "victims" bring friends by to get them to try it. Thank you for making our "haunt" the big hit!
The only downfall was we had to duct tape the base down. It jumps with such force that we couldn't keep it in one place, let alone perched on top of something tall enough to allow it to lurch over the screen.
I loved this spider. It scared my grandkids but they kept coming back. I brought it to my classroom for our Halloween party and my students loved it too. I then put it just inside the door and scared all my trick or treaters. It was great. I thought a plug adapter should have come with it...
I bought this for a small haunted house my son's school was doing as part of a fundraiser. It was a big hit and worked well. Even those of us that knew what was about to happen still jumped. :)
This was an awesome product. I did not know that the step pad was seperate as well as the power cord. I brought the step pad and now it is amazing. Love how I get reactions from people who does not expect it. Love it.
This is a great product and I am using it in a haunted house. The Try me button does not work really good with it but love the product!
This Jumping Spider was awesome...Our guests loved it!! Perfect for our Party!!!
Love this spider, it works well and is quite frightening when it jumps at you. Once you put the batteries in, it will squat down itself, I tried to push it down to "set it". No need, it does it on its own.
With the "Step Here" mat, adds a fun and scary Halloween trick-or-treating experience!
Bicycle customers even after I warned them they were standing near a spider, did huge leaps and giggles when it jumped. Grandchildren loved it and wanted to take it to their house. (Even a 4yr old girl)
its a fun product i recommend this for people who like to scare kids a lot!
I bought the spider on line in Aug. when they were on sale. I put it together in Oct, and it didn't work. I wrote Spirit an Email and explained what happened, they sent me another one , no charge, no exchange necessary. The second one works like a charm. Scared the STUFF out of me a couple of times.
We use this product to scare our friends and family. It jumps up really quick and has a great sound with it!
I really like this item
We put it under the table so it would scare people at our party. We decided to get the Step Here mat because it was not as sensitive as we wanted it to be. But other then that it is great!

Over the course of the past decade, Top Gear has evolved into something much more than a simple motoring programme. The show now revolves around outrageous challenges, celebrity interviews, slapstick comedy stunts and scripted exchanges between the three main presenters, all of which often push the actual cars into the background. It's a formula that clearly works well. Although the show was originally launched in 1977, it only became the worldwide success it is today after the format was radically revamped in 2002, introducing elements such as The Stig, who have since become stalwarts. With around 350 million viewers in 170 different countries for each episode, Top Gear is currently one of the BBC's most successful shows.
The Need for Speed
A report by the Department for Transport found that drivers under the age of 35 are heavily influenced by programmes such as Top Gear which glorify driving aggressively at high speed and pours scorn those who are careful to always follow the rules of the road. Although most of Top Gear's stunts are carried out on private roads, the show is still most popular among the exact demographic of younger drivers who are most likely to be involved in a road accident claim.
The pressure group Transport 2000, which tries to encourage people to manage without their cars as much as possible, has also criticised the programme, claiming it glamorises speed and promotes a yobbish, 'get out of my way' attitude towards driving.
The Power of Influence
The 'Cool Wall' segment, in which the presenters choose their favourite cars, is heavily biased towards faster, more powerful vehicles. The best vehicles are driven by The Stig and compared to see which can complete a lap of the circuit in the fastest time. Although presenter James May is shown as having more conservative, moderate tastes than the other two, he is regularly the butt of jokes in the show as a result.
This aforementioned need for speed is even apparent even in the 'star in a reasonably priced car' slot, in which a celebrity is interviewed and then filmed driving a budget vehicle around a racing circuit. The celebrities are first trained by The Stig and the end result is a demonstration of how to drive a standard car to the very edge of its limitations. Although this happens away from public roads, it is the one part of Top Gear that young, easily influenced drivers can attempt to replicate on their own.
A Victim of its Own Success
In many ways, the show has become a victim of its own success. When the specials and stunts first started, they seemed far more genuine and unplanned. However, it was clear which particular elements – buying ridiculous gifts for one another, two presenters ganging up to perform a practical joke on a third, a navigational disaster than means the team end up in the wrong town – were most popular. These elements now feature in every single special, making them rather boringly predictable.
Despite this, the popularity of the show is as high as ever – it has been responsible for BBC Two receiving its highest ever ratings – and there are no indications that this will change. However, in a world in which petrol prices are constantly increasing and hybrids or fully electric cars are becoming more commonplace, Top Gear is becoming far more about escapism and showing off the capabilities of cars few of its viewers will ever be able to afford than providing practical advice on the current state of the motoring market.
Are you a fellow Top Gear fan? How do you feel about the direction it is taking?

"The Ardennes, and more" Province de Luxembourg by tompt
Province de Luxembourg Travel Guide: 375 reviews and 1,091 photos
The Province de Luxembourg is one of the most beautiful areas of Belgium. The wooded mountains (not really that high) are host to some very nice cities. Amongst which is the smallest city in the world: Durbuy.
A tourist trap really, as all you see here are tourists. Finding a parking spot during weekends is most difficult. And all parking is paid. We did enjoy a lunch here, being equiped for tourists there are plenty of restaurants around.
Take a hike in the woods, or take your bicycle for a spin. Visit some of Belgium finest breweries. You can do it all here in Province de Luxembourg .
Some of the breweries found here, which we either visited and / or drank the beer from:
Achouffe - Microbrewery La ferme au chene in Durbuy - Orval, the abbey - Brasserie de Bouillon.
At Achouffe we tried the achouffe, the Macchouffe, and the Chouffe N'Ice
In Durbuy they only make Marckloff from an old recipe.
Orval sells the green variety (a lighter one) at the abbey, but the normal Orval is certainly worth trying!
Brasserie de Bouillon makes several beers, the ones we tasted were not to our liking tough.
More about the beers in the tips.
The nature is great at all times of the year. We visited in spring, summer and in autumn. Each season has its own charmes. We yet have to visit in winter when the mountains are covered in snow.

More to come in the near future.....

EXCLUSIVE: Forget the affable Frasier Crane; Kelsey Grammer is embracing his inner bad guy. After his Golden Globe turn as the ruthless politician in Boss, Grammer has just landed the key villain role in Michael Bay's next Transformers film, which also stars Mark Wahlberg and Stanley Tucci. I'm told that Grammer will play Harold Attinger, a counter intelligence guy. Now, Grammer has been in big films before–he played The Beast in X-Men: The Last Stand–but he moved to UTA a couple of months ago, hoping to get more feature opportunities and the agency certainly came through. He's also managed by Brian Sher. The film begins production in July, from a script by Ehren Kruger. Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Ian Bryce, Tom DeSanto and Don Murphy are the producers.

Hmmm… I dig Whalberg and Tucci but we'll have to see about Grammer. Huge Transformers fan, enjoyed the first 3 movies, especially the 3rd one and definitely looking forward to this new installment. While Michael Bay gets a pretty bad rep for the blockbuster popcorn junk he puts out in theaters, I'll still love him for bringing my favorite robot toys as a kid to life!
Comment by Dr. Frasier Crane — Wednesday May 1, 2013 @ 2:47pm PDT
Oh this is very bad the symptoms are getting worse and worse. Kelsey is very confused psychologically he has lost his intellectual ability to think critically about his artistic choices. I can squeeze him in tomorrow for a half hour at 11:30 please make sure he's on time.
Comment by rocsteadybetty — Wednesday May 1, 2013 @ 3:18pm PDT
Really? No one else was available? I want to say he should do better, but…meh.
Comment by UTA varsity — Wednesday May 1, 2013 @ 5:41pm PDT
What Mr. Fleming is politely saying here, is that Mr. Grammer was repped at WME for 3 years and they could not get him into ONE movie. Grammer recently made the switch to UTA, and in less than 6 weeks as a client, UTA got him into Transformers because they did the work and actually gave a damn about their client. Seems as though there's a lot of this going around lately.
Comment by Alec — Thursday May 2, 2013 @ 1:08pm PDT
Translation – Brant Joel is losing all of his clients, most to UTA.
Comment by Mark — Wednesday May 1, 2013 @ 6:09pm PDT
Kelsey is brilliant, so far there's a great cast lined up with a terrible director. Wharlberg vs Grammer with fighting robots would be amazing but please get this terrible director away from the franchise.
Comment by cj — Wednesday May 1, 2013 @ 8:15pm PDT
I hope he is extra evil and sells out the humans. These movies need that. Patrick Dempsey was a disapointment in trans 3. I hope kelseys character knows what he is doing rather than just get played like Dempsey.
Comment by Nytrydr — Thursday May 2, 2013 @ 6:17am PDT
I was kinda hoping this story would be about Grammer being cast as a voice actor . Big fan of Mr G's work, and I'm sure he'll try to class up the franchise but really, and I'm very seriously. Human characters? WHo caares? Have these films not shown that story, snese, relationships etc do not in the least bit matter as long as you have Giant Freakin' Robots and big budget effects with a few tasty explosions thrown in for good measure? I mean no 1 was dull. The less said about 2, the better and 3 had within it the bones of greatness as a true TF movie with 90 extra minutes of bleh thrown in for no reason I can discern. The Avengers film was, in my opinion, very lucky to get away with stealing the plot and effects form number 3 for their final battle wihtout being done for copyright infringement or something. Tucci can act, sure though his character in these films is stupendously irritating and barring him, none of the human cast appear to want to return. Do I care, about any of that… not really. Will I be there opening day for Transformers 4 "The soich for more money"? Yes, yes I will. Why? Optimus Prime is in this film, thereby invalidating all arguments. But if you want me to care about the flesh creatures. Putting big G in there is way not the worse move you could make. Prime Vs SideShow Bob Terwilliger… Theres a movie I'd watch any day. Please let Grammer's character have a lackey named Bart…
Comment by Bryan — Thursday May 2, 2013 @ 8:25am PDT
This is going to be horrible. Megatron is the only badguy they need.
Comment by Kevin — Thursday May 2, 2013 @ 9:54am PDT
Transformers has some surprisingly witty moments, such as the scene in the interrogation room with the doughnuts, another interrogation scene in which a psychopathic police officer invites Shia La Boeuf to try to take his gun, and the soldier under fire who can only make contact with the outside world via an Indian call centre. But it's almost as if these scenes were pre-written and spliced into a script whose overall quality is very poor.
It's a shame, because the writers almost made a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Optics Review: OL Ranks the Best Spotting Scopes of 2011
We tested the new spotting scopes in 2011 and Leupold took home top honors.
Leupold Golden Ring 20–60x80
OVERALL RATING: Optics: A+ Most 80mm spotters are like trombones: They're long and unwieldy, and after a day in their company, you're ready for a break. Thanks to a design that uses mirrors to increase the internal dimensions, this flagship scope from Leupold is significantly shorter than other full-size spotters. Its fixed eyepiece provides a remarkable amount of eye relief and an expansive field of view, which means you can spend long hours behind this bright, clear scope. We found fault with the imprecise long-range focus of this otherwise wonderful optic. Advertisement |

When is it foolish to invest?
It becomes foolish to invest when our goals are too shortsighted. We find ourselves striving to be successful in this world but often neglect our eternal destiny. God's promises to take care of us here on earth if we will earnestly seek after Him. Do you really believe that? Does how you invest your time, money and talents prove what you say you believe?

In my previous life (before I became the 50-something San Fernando Valley mom you see before you today), I did interesting things: I hung out with rock stars and hobnobbed with legends of the silver screen. (To be more accurate: as producer of syndicated radio programs in the early 80's, I interviewed many of the acts with records on Billboard's Hot 100... and as a production assistant on the Tonight Show, breathed the same air as guests like James Stewart and Bette Davis). Today, I'm just happy if I can get through the checkout line without breaking the bank.

Catawba College Sophomore Derek Daisey of Milton, Del., released his debut CD, "All Behind Me," in mid-April and was feted April 30th with an on-campus reception.
Daisey, a 20-year-old music business major, wrote and performed the songs on the CD which he describes as "full of coarse realities, strong harmonies, inspired guitar riffs and captivating hooks." Daisey was introduced to music producers, Alan Grossman and Jimm Mocher of Hit Music, Inc., last September. The two worked with him for six month to create his new CD, "All Behind Me," which is available via his website, www.derekdaisey.com.
Born in Ft. Myers, Fla., Daisey began singing and mastering the guitar at age 13 after having been heavily influenced by John Rzeznik and the musical styles of the Goo Goo Dolls. Listening to music, he says, offered him "a relieving escape at times during adolescence," but writing songs "liberated demons through rhymes and captivating melodies." He began constructing his own library of songs and other emotional conceptions.
Again this year, Daisey has submitted another of his songs, "Where to Begin," to the BMI Foundation's 10th Annual John Lennon Scholarship Awards. Results will be announced in mid-May.

Pedro Leon set for Getafe return
Real Madrid's Pedro Leon could return to Getafe on a season-long loan, according to ABC Deportes.
By ESPNSTAR.com staff
The 25-year-old's star has been on the wane since he joined Los Merengues in 2010. Back then, he was the hottest young property in Spanish football and his dribbling and eye for goal earned him favourable comparisons with Real legend Guti.
Real snapped him up for €10 million but the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Mesut Ozil prevented him from making an impact and he was not given much of a chance by new manager Jose Mourinho.
Over the past season, he went back to Getafe on a season-long loan but recurring injuries prevented him from recapturing the form that saw him score 8 goals in the 2009/10 season and he only made 13 appearances in the league, scoring a solitary goal against Malaga in October 2011.
ABC Deportes report that Real are interested in sending him back on loan once again as Getafe do not have the financial wherewithal to secure his rights in an outright transfer. The midfielder is said to be keen to stay at Real but knows that Mourinho will likely not want to to tinker with his winning formula and is already considering bringing in fresh faces in the summer transfer window.
Leon was unearthed by current Sevilla coach Michel and helped his side achieve 11th place in La Liga in the past season.

I do not know if it is possible, but sometimes i see error notices like this:
Notice: wp_tiny_mce is deprecated since version 3.3! Use wp_editor() instead. in /var/www/vhosts/money.cz/httpdocs/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3467
The problem is, that that 3467 line is just the error notice function, not the line with that wp_tiny_mce function, so i have to go through all plugins etc.
When i google it, i see, that a lot of people got problems with this as they are searching for this notice. If it could report the original line, function it was running, plugin, hook or anything more helpfull, it would be great
