Jätte vackert par/bild, skulle kunna gifta om mig i den klänningen! Gud va härligt med några dagars ledigt, det händer inte oss bröllopsfotografer så ofta den här tiden på året passa på att njuta, hyr film, ligg i soffan eller på stranden om nu solen tittar fram…

Seth and Ida were terrific today in the scorching sun! Here in Sweden we usually only need umbrellas for rainy days but with today's gorgeous weather we needed one for the sun! More photos from this great wedding coming soon, so stay tuned. Time to unpack all the gear and have a glas of wine.
Vad du är snabb Jenny! Ser fram emot att se fler bilder! /erika
Thanks to my lovely couple from this weekend (who shall remain mysteriously anonymous). They put up with wind and rain on their wedding day, but despite bad weather, they were in good spirits and we had a great time shooting their wedding!
They say rain on your wedding day brings good luck… I do believe that.
Absolutely adorable! /erika
Last week I had the pleasure of working with a wonderful woman Monica Eisenman. She, together with Lisa Eisenman Frisk, is part of a sister duo that has recently come out with a new cookbook filled with gorgeous and delicious summer treats. This book is a MUST-HAVE, not only because of the great recipes but for the photos… sometimes I just page through it to feel happy. Lisa and Monica are so talented, as well as the book's photographer Ulrika Ekblom.
Last week, however, I photographed a couple of sweets with Monica and as you see in the photos I even got to help! We made a cake and some cookies, so tune in later in the summer and I will let you know when they are published.

But in last week's 63-20 win over Pike Central he scored five touchdowns on runs of 42, 41, 1, 72 and 52 yards.
Excelling in both areas is not new for Michel, as he passed for over 1,000 yards last year and also ran for over 1,000 yards.
LEOPOLD - Several coaches thought this year's Springs Valley's football team would be better than last year's. But injuries have hit the Blackhawks hard and they will bring an 0-7 record to Perry Central for Friday's 7 p.m. PLAC game.
The Blackhawks lost four two-way starters to injuries early in the season. Two tore anterior cruciate ligaments, which means they are done for the season.

Jorge De Presno Elected President of the Inter-American Bar Association
May 22, 2012
Now one of the top labor and employment lawyers in Mexico, Jorge De Presno-Arizpe never dreamed that when he received his master's degree from The Dickinson School of Law in 1988 that he would one day be elected as president of the Inter-American Bar Association (IABA), a position he has held since his inauguration ceremony on June 28, 2008, in Lima, Peru, during the IABA's 44th Annual Inter-American Conference.
Founded in 1940 by a group of distinguished lawyers and jurists representing forty-four professional organizations and seventeen nations, the IABA provides a forum for attorneys in the Western Hemisphere to promote the legal profession and protect the democratic institutions in the Americas. Only the fourth Mexican lawyer to lead the IABA, De Presno hopes to expand membership and improve networking opportunities between national bar associations. "I am very proud of an accomplishment that means a great deal for me, my family, and certainly for the continued success of my law firm, Thompson & Knight," says De Presno.
De Presno was also recently recognized in the inaugural edition of Chambers Latin America "Leaders in their Field" legal directory. Since 1999, Chambers has been researching the legal profession in Latin America and identifying leading lawyers and law firms through in-depth interviews with thousands of lawyers and their clients.
As a senior partner of the international law firm of Thompson & Knight, De Presno heads the Labor and Employment Practice Group in the Mexico City office. He focuses his practice on advising corporations on labor, employment, and Social Security law, including privatization procedures for public corporations.
Without his experience at the Law School, De Presno doubts that he would be where he is today. "What Dickinson did for me," says De Presno, "is provide me with a strong knowledge base of U.S. common law, as well as civil and statutory law that I could not get in Mexico, which still bases its law on the Roman system."
He says another plus is that he became more global in his thinking, crossing borders that most other Mexican lawyers, especially in labor and employment, never do. When asked why he chose The Dickinson School of Law, De Presno remembers that it was the result of several circumstances and credits friends of his father for encouraging him to apply. He had already applied to schools like Stanford and Harvard, but one of his father's friends, a Fellow at the prestigious International Academy of Trial Lawyers who has since passed away, asked him to consider the Law School.
Another who encouraged him to apply was the late Donald Farage '66 LLD, who practiced law
in Philadelphia and taught constitutional law at the Law School. De Presno fondly remembers his year in Carlisle as one of the best and happiest years in his life. He still stays in touch with friends he made at the Law School, including Yoshi Takenoshita '88 MCL, a lawyer in Japan, and Christian Orator MCL '88, now a judge in Austria. He recalls his favorite professors as Jane Rigler, Joseph Kelly, Harvey Feldman, and of course Louis Del Duca. De Presno and Lila have been married almost twenty-three years and live in Mexico City. Lila, who is also a lawyer, and Jorge have two children: Jorge is 19 years old and attending his father's alma mater, Universidad Iberoamericana; and Pamela, who is 18, attends high school.
De Presno is hopeful that both of his children will follow in the footsteps of their grandfather, father, and mother and choose a career in law. If so, he plans to encourage them to apply to his second alma mater, The Dickinson School of Law, making it truly a "family affair." De Presno hopes to be able to visit "the beautiful campus of Carlisle in the very near future." We hope he does, too.

So you were actually going to pay close to $6000 for what they said you needed to trade. I stupidly choose to buy more of their hype through their website, as I was bound and determined to learn from them.
Optionsxpress gives the charts to you for zero...yes zero, and you can find the same information on that site without the help of Bettertrades charging you for the same thing. All you need to do is have an account at OptionsXpress to get various things from them, much friendlier and fair by the way then BetterTrades could even dream about.
I am not saying they needed to hand hold and tell me the exact stocks, options, or whatever I was trading, but ranges, segments, sections, something would have helped for all that money and all those expensive charts.
I am an intelligent, educated, and qualified person to be trading on the market. I have never written on Ripoff before, and hope I never have to again. But these types of companies truly are a Ripoff. To spend one year, which is what the commitment is for some of the "extras" you buy from them, is rather a form of rape from my viewpoint.
In order to get your money back you had to do at least 10 real trades, in and out buy and sells- 20 sides. Well that is just great. In that each trade one side costs $14.95 so a full trade is $29.90 so you are into the money for $299 just to do the actual trades. Considering I did 4 and lost on every single one of them for the trade, so i dropped a good $500 just doing 4 including the cost of the trade. I decided to do hundreds of trades on Optionsxpress in the Virtual Trading area instead where the bite would not be so bad if I lost the trade from what BetterTrades was suggesting on the trades.
When I broached the subject with BetterTrades return policy person, he wanted copies of my statements, which I had to write to Optionsxpress to get them, because they give them to you online, but that was not good enough for BetterTrades. I also sent them a copy of the over 400 virtual trades I did with their way of trading, most of which were losers.
Of course that was not acceptable, and I got nothing back.
Optionsxpress now offers Coaching, yes live Coaching for a much smaller amount and you get to use all their software for free. Amazing, just think of the money I would have saved.
What a learning curve. i actually traded daily, and spent a good 30 minutes to an hour a day trying to learn the stuff.
Better Trades is somewhat of a racket, as are the other companies that charge thousands of dollars for the courses, usually only two days, and really don't give you a clear knowledge or direction to learn the business of trading. I have traded stocks before, and was interested in learning the options part of the business. But forget this company, and any of the others. Go to the websites of the actual companies that do the trading for you and I am sure you can find better knowledge, better information and certainly better pricing for good information rather than schmaltzy walk and talk, with no real basis behind it.

Jim Dale & Duncan Studios Debut MY BEASTLY ABCs Storybook App
What do the Abominable Snowman, the Boogey Monster, and the Chupacabra have in common? They are all teaching your child the alphabet in the new iPad app "My Beastly ABCs" from the award-winning animators at Duncan Studio. Known for their work on animated feature films such as Tarzan, Hercules, and SharkTale, this creative team brings together stunning artwork, charming animation and original magical narration performed by famed actor and voice-over artist Jim Dale, renowned for his work on the Harry Potter audio book series.
Through the use of interactive animation and an imaginative plot, the app tells a captivating story of a young boy as he encounters mythical creatures from around the world.

Obama budget proposes new fight against superbugs
Sounding an alarm about the growing threat of superbugs, the Obama administration is proposing a jump in spending to fight antibiotic-resistant germs in hospitals.
AP Medical Writer
Sounding an alarm about the growing threat of superbugs, the Obama administration is proposing a jump in spending to fight antibiotic-resistant germs in hospitals.
Infections that can withstand some of the best antibiotics already are killing more than 23,000 Americans a year, and some bacteria are becoming resistant to drugs of last resort, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In Tuesday's budget, the CDC is seeking $30 million to open specialized laboratories in five parts of the country to help local hospitals more quickly diagnose and combat drug-resistant infections, said CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden.
The labs would offer rapid mapping of all of the bug's genes to better spot outbreaks, and the program would work to help hospitals and communities tackle the problem, he said.
If funded at $30 million annually for five years, the CDC estimated the program could cut in half the rate of one especially dangerous intestinal germ called Clostridium difficile, or C-diff -- and thus prevent at least 20,000 deaths, 168,000 hospitalizations and over $1 billion in health care costs. That's in addition to fighting other bacterial threats.
Separately Tuesday, the CDC called for every hospital to establish a program to track and improve antibiotic prescribing. While antibiotics can be life-saving, overuse and misuse of the drugs also spur bacteria to develop resistance. Health officials said doctors in some hospitals prescribe antibiotics three times as often as others, for similar patients.

From the Louisville SBN blog, Card Chronicle. However, it's important to note that this excludes some notable private universities that aren't required to disclose (such as Duke). Still, it's pretty remarkable that despite outspending almost all programs in recruiting, we basically have nothing to show for it. We spent almost double what Texas did. Look at the bottom of the list at Wisconsin. They only spent $57,000 - something that has to give you a new appreciation for the talents of Bo Ryan. Discuss.
It appears OU is interviewing someone for the coaching position today. Exactly who, is a mystery, but it's probably not Josh Pastner, Buzz Williams, or Dave Rose.
As the search for the new OU men's basketball coach carries on (some may say "drags on"), there are a couple of names that have been making the rounds on the internet and in the papers.
OU may want to find a new top candidate for the vacant coaching position if the latest reports are true: Buzz Williams appears to be close to finalizing a $2 MIL / year deal with Marquette.
Brad Stevens is going to get a ton of money from someone. It's probably not going to be Butler. Should OU push all in right now and try to bring the 34 year old coach to Norman?
A couple of stories today have supported the theory that the Sooners are interested in Buzz Williams, and that he'd be interested in heading to Norman.
There are quite a few coaches who have guided some Cinderella teams in the tournament this year. These coaches would come more cheaply for OU than some of the bigger names.
With OU basketball long since eliminated from any postseason play, here's a detailed analysis of the first three rounds of the NCAA Tournament to keep us busy.
Here are a few thoughts on the OU men's basketball coaching search. An unconventional hire seems most likely.
Since OU's men's basketball team has no postseason play, we'll just take this opportunity to highlight some of the tournament trends thus far.
Nick Saban ($5.16 MIL) and Mack Brown ($5.1 MIL) still make slightly more, but I think Bob will be satisfied being the 3rd highest paid coach in college football.
Feel free to comment on the game here. I'm already annoyed by the dedicated panel to Maya Moore on the screen. If you want to see what I mean, tune in!
I'm not a fan of United, but holy crap! Goal of the year?

Landry Jones takes a lot of heat sometimes, but let's take a step back and appreciate how well Landry has really done. He's only a sophomore, and he's been asked to do a lot.
The Oklahoma Sooners women's basketball team is quietly compiling another very successful season. They are currently 11-3, and ranked #14 in the latest coaches poll.
Ryan Broyles will be back for the 2011 season according to WR Coach Jay Norvell. This means that the Sooners should return around 17 starters from their Fiesta Bowl champion team.
Oklahoma is going to need to stop the run, force 3rd downs for Connecticut, and protect the football.
With this news, the Sooners women's basketball team should be nearing full strength again. Whitney Hand definitely improves the team in a number of ways, and if they can stay healthy, OU should be pretty dangerous down the stretch.

Danielle Robinson with 26 pts, 7 reb, 3 ast, 3 stl. OU had a 36-6 run in the first half. They held Prairie View to only 3 baskets in that 14 minute span, and scored 18 consecutive points at one time. The Sooners flashed how dominant they can be, but also showed some lapses, allowing Prairie View to mount a come back to a 9 point deficit, before finally putting them away. Oklahoma is still undefeated, and plays Sam Houston State at home next before a huge road matchup against Ohio State.

"We had a beautiful apartment in the Jordaan area."
"We went to the Andeken Gallery and started to install the "Home and Away" Exhibition. Above is work by Lisa Leone."
"After, we went for a visit to the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. We got to view a few amazing constructivist pieces from the father of today's Graphic Design. This piece above is by Malevich (Surpremus No. 50, 1918).
"...and this above is by El Lissitzky; it's a Suprematist composition (Study for Wall Painting, 1919)"
"After we went out for a traditional Dutch dinner."
"Later, we went down and hooked up with Gee from Patta at Red Light Radio. Femke from My Little Underground was spinning. Red Light Radio is amazing project they have set up in the Red Light District were they stream live radio in the window in the district."
"And after linked with best mate and HVW8 Gallery Alumni Parra for a few drinks."

CALL ME FITZ Starts Production
E1 Entertainment, Amaze Film + Television and Big Motion Pictures in association with Astral Media's The Movie Network and Corus Entertainment's Movie Central announced today that principal photography is underway on the Canadian original television series Call Me Fitz (working title). The series stars actor/director Jason Priestley (The Day of the Triffids, My Name is Earl, Beverly Hills 90210) as the charismatic used car salesman known as Fitz. Created and written by producer/writer Sheri Elwood (Defying Gravity), the 13‐part, half‐hour comedy series is filming an hour outside of Halifax, Nova Scotia in the Annapolis Valley region until mid‐January. The series is scheduled to air on The Movie Network (Eastern Canada) and Movie Central (Western Canada) in 2010.
In Call Me Fitz, Jason Priestley stars as Richard "Fitz" Fitzpatrick, a balls‐out, used car dealer who pushes the boundaries of acceptable behaviour just a few steps too far. After Fitz botches a test drive and puts his latest customer in a coma, he finds himself face‐to‐face with a new salesman on the lot: Larry, a do‐gooder with a heart of gold. If Fitz is a man who lives for the moment, Larry's his foil, ready to pick up (and re‐furbish) the wreckage Fitz leaves behind. If the "Odd Couple" had substance abuse problems and sold cars, this would be that show.
Larry is played by Ernie Grunwald (King of the Hill, My Name is Earl) who becomes the moral anchor of the Fitzpatrick family. Series' regulars include Peter MacNeill (Copper, Mayerthorpe), Tracy Dawson (The Gavin Crawford Show), Kathleen Munroe (Durham County), Donavon Stinson (Reaper), Brooke Nevin (I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer), and Gillian Ferrier (Ice Castles). Guest stars, Rachel Blanchard (Flight of the Conchords) and Joanna Cassidy (Six Feet Under) are featured in recurring roles.
Writer, Creator and Executive Producer Sheri Elwood, is joined by Executive Producers Teza Lawrence and Michael Souther, both with Amaze Film + Television (Finn on the Fly, Saint Ralph) and David MacLeod of Big Motion Pictures (October 1970, SeaWolf). Ari Posner (Mental) is Co‐ Executive Producer. Scott Smith (Rollercoaster, Falling Angels) and James Genn (Robson Arms), direct. Laszlo Barna is the President of E1 Television. Suzanne Berger and Tashi Bieler are the Vice Presidents of Production for E1 Entertainment. Larry Gilbert is Vice President of Current Programming for E1 Entertainment.
Production thanks the Bell Broadcast and New Media Fund Board who has approved financial participation in the development of the proposed project: Call Me Fitz Online.

- I currently live in Portland Oregon (Born and raised). When I was a child me and my friends went to an arcade known as "Wonderland" which housed a Polybius cabinet. My two friends played it but I never played it due to excessive crowds that were constantly around the cabinet and my claustrophobic anxieties. I remember after my friends first played it they started acting very strange and within a month they moved away without any explanation. I have yet to be able to contact them - I warn you all to stay away from this.
- No, this is the 500th person that has claimed to see it, but I can tell you are lying because you are "WARNING US TO STAY AWAY". What exactly are we supposed to stay away from? We don't even know the game exists, nevermind if it had any disatrous effects to the body and mind. If you are really telling the truth, please, provide us with the name and phone number of this so called "wonderland" so further investigation can be persued.--126.96.36.199 22:13, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

I think it's about time I laid this to rest, however entertaining the speculation.
My name is Steven Roach who is primarily based in the Czech Republic. Sinneschlossen was a company set up by myself and several other mainly amateur programmers in 1978 that worked on component parts for Printed Circuit Boards that saw programming as a limited but very profitable sideline. I think the fact that it wasn't the focal point of our business took the pressure off of us and hence we created some quality work which quickly gained a reputation within the industry.
We were approached around 1980 by a Southern American company that shall remain nameless for legal purposes to develop an idea they had for producing an Arcade Game with a puzzle element that centred around a new approach to Video Game Graphics. They were very keen indeed to gain an upper hand in what was already a very competitive market so we were offered a staggering commission-based renumeration package to develop something special that utilised the technology.
We developed the game in little more than two portacabins that were knocked together where we spent many stressful mornings, evenings & nights which was a great pity because it compromised our relaxed and innocently amateurish approach to our business in spite of the financial possibilities.
Marek Vachousek was the programmer who came up with the name Polybius - he had studied Greek Mythology at Masaryk University and came up with the name because it sounded quite bold and mysterious, which is what we wanted quite simply. The inspiried graphics combined with the puzzle elements and scintilating gameplay was something to behold - we playtested it for hours and hours and it certainly was an addictive game that was well loved professionally and recreationally by all that played it. The company couldn't have been happier and we all thought we were on the verge of something very special indeed.
We then received a phonecall stating that there were concerns within the company that the basic graphics which featured prominently in so many other games of the time were fine for the average gamer to spend hours at a time without any noticable physical or mental detriments but the intense and engrossing gameplay of this new step was very much an unknown quantity so the game was put back several months due to divided opinion within their board of directors, much to our consternation for breaking our backs to finish it on time.
We received heartening collated playtesting figures and were then told that the game would receive a temporary limited release which bouyed us significantly but shortly after, we received terrible news - a thirteen year old boy from the Lloyd District of Portland, Oregon had suffered an Epileptic Fit while playing the game, only six days after the machines had literally been installed. One of the senior employees that I knew very well contacted me to tell me that it caused immense ripples of panic throughout the company who were of the opinion that they had "created a monster" as such. It may sound laughable now but please bear in mind that this was 25 years ago when the Video Game Industry was in it's infancy.
Every effort was made to withdraw the game from the public domain as quickly as possible but the scaremongering was already out in force and a lot of the children were queueing up or daring their friends to play this supposedly nightmarish game. Company Directors descended on the town to assess the situation which may account for these reports of "Strange Men in Black Suits hanging around" and the machines were often taken in daylight, causing minor but noticable incidents.
As far as I was made aware, only seven machines were distributed around the area and no other health-related incidents were reported. I heard "off the record" that the company made a one-off settlement to the boy's family and no more was heard, apart from all the internet-based speculation and resulting paranoia. We disbanded Sinnesscholssen shortly afterwards because we didn't want to restrict ourselves to the stringent deadlines of other companies and favoured distancing ourselves from the game in case of any lingering recriminations which could have done a great deal of damage to our personal and professional reputations which was our livelihood and with some of us having very young families, this was extremely important to us.
As far as I'm aware, no ROM's or otherwise exist unless they remain in the bowels of the company that distributed it. We only received a basic payment in view of the fact that the game was withdrawn without nationwide or international distribution so we grew to loathe it and was often a cursed word whenever we used to meet up and still is today, which is a shame. I still believe we created something that should have changed the face of gaming and would have set us apart from the rest of the industry but Arcade Games were often compared to drugs at the time because of their addictiveness and we created something that small-minded bureaucrats perceived to be the Heroin of the Video Game World that's only crime was to be many years ahead of it's time.
I'm sure people will doubt the sincerity of this so feel free to drop me a line at email@example.com as I'm happy to answer any questions.
- The problem with his story is that there are no facts that can be verified independently. He declines to provide the name of the company he worked for. A South American company in 1981 testing video games developed in Czechoslovakia in arcades in the United States in 1981 is an odd story to say the least. Its also hard to imagine Czechoslovakia in 1980 as being able to produce internationally competitive arcade video game hardware from scratch. The story stands entirely on his word. The only way for it to have credibilty would be for him to share facts that can be independently checked. He has never done that. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 03:50, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
- As we all appreciate someone actually trying to shed some light on this, and bring an explanation of what happened to knowledge. Here we have one given to us, and as some people will take this information consider the matter explained. So there should be nothing more to discuss or talk about then, right? But that (i believe) is precisely why this information or rather disinformation in this case, has come to us. It is seemingly a nice story that is given to us to bring closure upon the matter, but sadly the real truth most likely will not be able to be proved. (i know we all like confirmation of the truth) But I believe this myth about the infamous arcade game that randomly appeared (only in a couple of places) and then mysteriously vanished, and the mysterious men dressed in black that supposed collected data from the machines. My opinion about the myth of this infamous arcade game that mysteriously appeared in the suburbs of Portland Seattle in mid year of 1981, I will state as follows. If this explanation gives you closure to the matter, then good, go with that then. Let your mind not be troubled trying to take this any further, but im sure alot of you out there (like me) with a better understanding of things, We are trying to focus on a much bigger picture, some have already fit many small pieces of a much bigger puzzle together, or are in the process of doing so. These strange occurrences sort of make sense in a way, the stated corroborated pieces of information that we do have do fit in to the rest of the puzzle, a very small part of a hidden agenda. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A000:C460:2701:31F4:1788:CADE:5223 (talk) 19:59, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

CyberYogi's real name[edit]
The name "Windler" reminds me of 19th century scientist Friedrich Wöhler, who signed his letters to Justus von Liebig as "S. Ch. Windler" - so, this may be a part of the hoax as well.

Why the taringa bit was deleted[edit]
serious shit, i'm reversing the article
Its not a german word[edit]
hey, i can´t contribute to the discussion if the game is actually real or just a hoax, but as a native german speaker i can tell at least that the words:"Sinneslöschen" (from the article) and "Sinneschlossen" (from roach) are both NOT real german words. They are both an in every day language impossible merge of real existing german words. "Sinnes" means "senses", and "löschen" means "to delete". The translation as "sensory-extinguishing" is wrong, the german word for that would be "sinneslöschend" or better "wahrnehmungslöschend". The word "Sinneschlossen" is even more wrong. The translation of the Words is "Sinne" (without a "s" this time) what also means "Senses" and "schlossen", what translates to "had closed". A rough translation of this non existing word would therefore be something like "sensesclosed". hope this helps a bit. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 11:10, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
I'm sure you know a lot more about German than I do, but to me the translation does seam to fit very well. Even though when translating words & phrases almost never translate perfectly. In most cases to translate something well you have to have a good knowledge about both languages and you can usually find something that works well and is a good fit. I think who ever translated the name 'Sinneslöschen' into the English 'sensory-extinguishing' was using not only his knowledge of the languages very well but was also using his/or her brain extremely well. It is one thing to take a word or word translation from one language to other, if we do this it makes the translation come out very odd on the receiving end, so when we translate we take into account other language and translate according not only the words being used but also the idea about what is being a said and how to best find a fit on the other end. (no thing is perfect) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A000:C460:2701:31F4:1788:CADE:5223 (talk) 20:18, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
Retrocade investigation on the origin of the legend[edit]
I found an issue of Retrocade (a retrogaming ezine), that can be bought online, containing an article with a thorough investigation of the legend. It debunks various parts of the legend (such as the existence of a company called Sinnesloschen), gives mundane explanations for others (like the "seizures" part, that was just an exaggerated report of a kid getting a migraine after playing Tempest) and shines some light on who Steven Roach really is and what he has done (a criminal who ran a correctional facility called Sunrise Beach and was arrested for child abuse).
Can I add a summary of the information contained therein to the article, even if the ezine must be bought and is not freely available online? Devil Master (talk) 13:55, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- Not opposing or agreeing, but is Retrocade a long-term, cited by others, WP:Reliable source for an inline citation, or should it instead simply be in External links? --Lexein (talk) 15:56, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- I don't know, I only discovered Retrocade while I was looking for information about Polybius. All I can say about the article is that it's very detailed, it does not spread information that I know to be false. It mentions three specific people: Brian Mauro (fell sick during an Asteroids marathon, reference here), Michael Lopez (got a migraine while playing Tempest in the same arcade and the same day as Brian Mauro fell sick, no references found) and Steven Roach (claimed to be the creator of Polybius in 2006, reference here, and was arrested for child abuse in Mexico in 1996 and Czech Republic in 1998, references here, here and here). Devil Master (talk) 18:18, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
The problem with me making any kind of edit is everything is considered original research, however, I need to point out that many people believe the legend of Polybius came from someone confusing and exaggerating problems with Poly Play, the actual GDR arcade cabinet. Poly Play had a number of clones, some accounts say it had a tempest like clone that caused seizures, and they pulled it from their cabinets, however, the only confirmed game so far that was pulled was a space invaders game. The problem with verifying Poly Play games is that all but 3 cabinets were destroyed after the Berlin wall fell. I know, this sounds like an urban legend, but, go ahead, verify it. Another similarity is Poly Play cabinets have similar font style and the game that caused seizures matches the tempest clone explanation of Polybius. There are quite a few people on the youtube arcade community which believes this theory has merit. Seizures are no laughing matter either, so that would lend further credibility to the "serious context" of this urban legend.
I made some edits on my original talk post to clarify some stuff I didn't clarify earlier. Anyway, the story of Poly Play does sound almost like an Urban Legend due to the fact that it created its own mystery: The cabinets were crap and constantly being repaired; They were recalled to be destroyed; Only a few made it around the international circuit; Poly Play was introduced to the GDR and the World after 1985 (the same time frame as the mythical Polybius, while Tempest was introduced in 1981 and widely known); The game collection was financed by the communist government of the German Democratic Republic; Some of the games did cause seizures; The cabinets are very difficult to repair - they were basically an arcade nightmare. However, I think this is sufficient proof that suggests a strong link between Poly Play and a mutated myth that developed into Polybius.
It will ultimately be impossible to pin down the origin of Polybius, but I think Poly Play should be mentioned due to its German link, similarities in rarity (faulty memories of a rare game), real life threatening danger (seizures are no laughing matter), and the word Poly. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 01:10, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
- The origins are well known. The story was created by a hoaxer around 1998. The person in question can be found in messages from that era daydreaming about new versions of Tempest and he was also a German national. Its somewhat possible that he had knowledge of Poly Play. But as the hoax has never been admitted, there is no way to know for sure. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 04:05, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
Sinneslochen trademark history[edit]
If you do a search of the USPTO on the company name SINNESLOSCHEN, the name has only been registered once in the United States, as an LLC in 2008. This indicates the chance of the screenshot within the article is a fabrication is relatively high.[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 14:29, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
- Its not even a screenshot. Its an amaturishly constructed image. Its very obviously a total fake. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 03:59, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
The article needs to be rewritten[edit]
The article in its current form is almost useless. It doesnt even properly tell the history and development of the hoax. Everything in the article that can't be sourced should be removed.
The hoax started with the game description on coinop.org in 1998. It continued in a small set of usenet group posts in 2001. Then there were the magazine articles a couple years later. Then there was Steven Roach. Then there are the various cabinet sightings. There is no pre-1998 history to any of this. Speculation about games that might match the stories told about the game have no place in the article.
Right now, the article reads like a bulletin board for hoaxers. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 03:23, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Trolling/hoax/Snopes content wouldn't make it on here.
But I stand corrected. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 23:17, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
Request for sources/citations[edit]
Ok. I dont see and cannot find any source for the following claims made in the article. Unless someone can produce sources for this material, its eventually going to be removed.
- The game proved to be incredibly popular, to the point of addiction, and lines formed around the machines, often resulting in fighting over who played next.
- No source for addiction. lines forming around the machines or fights over play on the machines.
- an unheard-of new arcade game appeared in several suburbs of Portland
- The coinop.org material says "one" suburb.
- This was followed by clusters of visits from men in black. Rather than the usual marketing data collected by company visitors to arcade machines, they collected some unknown data, allegedly testing responses to the psychoactive machines.
- The only known source says they collected "data about how the game was played". It does not say anything about "psycoactive" or "testing responses".
- In some versions of this mystery, the players suffered from a series of unpleasant side effects, including amnesia, insomnia, nightmares and night terrors.
- What are the other "versions" of this mystery and what are the sources for them. The quoted material is basically directly from the coinop.org source.
- The supposed creator of Polybius is Ed Rotberg, and the company named in most accounts of the game, Sinneslöschen (German meaning "deletion/erasure of senses, Sense-delete"), often named as either a secret government organization or a codename for Atari.
- Who is the source for tying the game to Ed Rotberg? Who is the source tying any of this to Atari? Where are the accounts that do not associate the game with Sinneslöschen?
- The gameplay is said to be similar to Tempest (a shoot 'em up game using vector graphics), while the game is said to contain subliminal messages which would influence the action of anyone playing it.
- Where is the source that says the gameplay was similar to Tempest? Where is the source for "vector graphics"? Where the source for "subliminal messages". The sourced description of the game says it was "kind of abstract, fast action with some puzzle elements".
22.214.171.124 (talk) 19:51, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
I believe this article demonstrates an overall bias to assume the game is pure fiction, using words like "supposed" or "alleged" next to many descriptions of the game throughout the article. For instance, the introductory paragraph states "Not much evidence for the existence of such a game has ever been discovered," which implies that the writer was hoping to find no evidence. Instead, it should say something like "There has been only trace evidence that Polybius was manufactured and released." Another good example is the thumbnail of the title screen, which reads "Title frame of the alleged game", implying that the game is only "alleged" (Wiktionary: "supposed but doubtful"), which directly contrasts to the image's description page, which inarguably states the game is real, non-free, and under copyright protection (another bias we might want to work over). A better caption might read "Title frame of Polybius", since the game's existence or lack thereof has already been declared above. There are more examples of this in the article, such as "According to the story", "The supposed creator", and even "a "lack of hard evidence" situation typical of hoaxes." — Supuhstar * — 03:32, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- There no "evidence" whatsoever as to the game existing. The article is documentation of an urban legend. What you are calling for is to use Wikipedia's voice to back the hoax and to treat it as if its real. The article should be careful in its tone to clearly WHO has made WHAT claim about the game and make claims about the existance of the game in Wikipedia's voice at all. Wikipedia is not a message board for anonymous unsourced claims or a forum for trying to turn rumors into facts. The article should document the urban legend but make claims about it. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 05:46, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- An article dealing with a matter of clear facts has a different standard than an article dealing with a hoax or an urban legend. Such articles need to carefully seperate facts from the stories used to spread the hoax. "According to the story" is appropriate. "supposed" is an appropriate qualifier for "creator" because not using it suggests Wikipedia is using its voice to support the claim. "typical of hoaxes" probably goes too far and should be modified. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 16:30, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Geothermal Electricity Workshop
Brussels, 29 April 2011
The resources of geothermal energy are in principle infinite. The key question is how to tap this potential with realistic technology under realistic economic conditions.
Today only a fraction of the total heat content of the Earth can be utilized. The technical potential concentrates on the underground heat resource up to 10 km depth. Installed geothermal electricity capacity today is around 1 GWe in the EU-27 (producing 0.2% of the total EU electricity production).
The workshop on geothermal electricity which took place in DG Energy on 29 April 2011 analysed the technical and economic case for geothermal electricity and discussed a possible vision for this technology up to 2050.
Geothermal resources could have the potential to supply at least 15% of Europe Global Electricity consumption in 2050. This is a major technological and economic challenge for the next 40 years.
The geothermal technology should be proven all over Europe in various geological conditions in the next decades and become competitive on economic basis with other sources if exploited around the "field of dwells" concept (By today, c.a. 20 EGS projects are in the pipeline with these objectives).
But, more research is needed on geothermal resource development in order to better understand this potential: development of assessment methods for geothermal systems and development of exploration methods for deep geothermal resources.
The European Commission supports currently this option specifically, through the acknowledgment of the SET Plan European Energy Research Alliance programme on geothermal energy. Consideration to the geothermal energy was given also through the Emission Trading Schemes New Entrance Reserve mechanism were projects for geothermal based electricity for capacities of 5 MWe were invited.

Apparently they are pretty big in Europe and China. They also have a plant where they produce panels in a joint venture with AUO.
I don't know if you're familiar with the "Samsung Panel Lottery", but AUO actually provides panels for several lower tier Samsung LCD & LED TVs. So, despite the crazy brand name, it might not actually be half bad.

If you're rich enough that you can plop down $400 every 4-6 months on a TV, then you should probably be able to spend a couple hundred more and get one that lasts a couple years. $400 is not "disposable" for most people.
At least get a store brand like Vizio or Insignia. At least that way you may be able to get support, which you certainly won't be able to get with this. I mean look at that product description. That sorry Engrish makes Harbor Freight manuals look like literary perfection.

Just because....
As mentioned, I stopped by the shop today and visited with Corey and Co. and took a few pics... Today was a wife and I day... She doesn't go often but enjoys visits to the shop...
So anyway... The passenger side turbo is almost finished. Justin was doing last little bit fit checks, and prior to my arrival, they test fitted the plate that mounts under the turbo's. We will reuse this as it fits in with part of our ground effects. There is plenty of clearance between the plate and the turbo's.
These images give a graphic visual to the size of the downpipes... They are great big...
The down pipes will be adjusted for length and then have V band ends put on them. This will allow for quick and easy changes from full exhaust (street) to short little turndowns (race).
They also figured out the filter situation. We'll run one on both turbo's on the street and remove the filters for racing... We'll make some little screens to put over the turbo's for racing days... Justin is going to fab some 4" pipes from the inlet port to the filter... I ground off some bosses on the driver side of the oil pan the other day....This allows clearance for the filter when running on the street. The bosses used to be there as part of the oil cooler mount, but that is long gone on my car as we have a proper oil cooler up front...
