(This is an archive about posts on Topseos over the years, and is all 100% professional opinion. As one of the companies "rated" *cough cough* in the past, I think I have a right to comment on it and 'rate them' tho I did a bit more work than them so I now rank for their name in Google by the looks of it. My thoughts in no way reflect on individual companies on the list. I've removed some links from this post as some were broken)
When I wrote my post about TopsSEOs recently (which was retweeted some very influential seo) and questioned the reporting by the Drum Magazine in Scotland, I found it pretty difficult to find any of the tons of bad press on Google about the company I knew existed. The articles I am looking for are buried under a TON of self-promotional press releases and a myriad of domains and subdomains in (in my opinion) an attempt to bury all those complaints or criticisms about the company, written by trusted seos in the industry.
IN FACT – I couldn't find ONE good editorial link to Topseos site(s) (that I would be proud of) that I didn't question the editorial authenticity of it.
So, I thought we could have our own little awards ceremony and list the top complaints I could find about Topseos.
Contenders for the Complaints Awards 2012
ADDED: Disclosure: I don't know if TopSEOS is a scam. I just think it needs to be A LOT more transparent in it's practices, claims and promotional material.
I reviewed a lot of material, snippets of which are below. (EDIT – 2013 I have removed the links from this post – I don't want to be accused of manipulating results).

Fast foward a full month, and they continue their ways, laughing in the face of reality… 4 Press Releases
After the SEO community cried out, and lashed out, at Top SEOs for alleged deceptive practices the TopSEOs brass rushed out to do what they dobestthe most, they created some press releases. They made claims that they have listened and will clean up their act. Did they? Not according to Alan Bleiweiss in his Top SEOs Continues Deceptive Practices article. 5 TopSEOs.com $15,000 per month listing feesThere has been a lot of talk recently about how TopSEOs.com might not be the Independent Authority on Search Vendors they claim to be. 6 Why I don't display my numerous TopSEOs awards | Net MagellanA long time ago I alerted my friend Edward Lewis about this company that purported to rank SEO companies and awarded them badges.

This is something you MUST see to really understand what this organization is doing. I understand why folks around here are somewhat reluctant to get involved as many of you may be paying for your rankings over there. Or, you're promoting their service on your website properties. I'm guessing some of that will come to a halt here in the near future. There is too much garbage coming out of the woodwork in regards to this company and their related entities. 10 Scam. STAY AWAY
I need to vent- topseos.com is a SCAM. In order to even be on their so-called list of TOP seo firms you must pay- and pay BIG. I sent an email today and one of the owners of the company said that it would cost $1,000 per month to even be 'considered' and ranked on ONE list. 11 Apologizes – Legit or more Deceptive Business? | Search Marketing WisdomThere's been a flurry of renewed activity in the past few days regarding the fact that TOPSEOs has been caught using deceptive business practices in their operation. Apparently someone at TOPSEOs, perhaps [Name Removed] himself, finally felt that enough pressure was being applied, because yesterday morning (April 28th), a press release was posted through PRWeb.com where TOPSEOs issued an official apology "to the community" for "confusion", and where they vow "Changes to the Site". 12 Infamous for Fake "World's Best Local Internet Marketing Awards."

This week's buzz in the SEO community is all about complaints against TOPSEOs (and questions for [Name Removed], one of their owners) – a company that sells rankings and awards within the SEO industry. While they bill their rankings as a "competition", people from a number of highly reputable companies in our industry have come out essentially saying that TOPSEOs is nothing more than a shakedown for money. 17 Deceptive Practices – An Interview
The real concern for me with respect to TOPSEOs is the fact that they have no problem utilizing the Bait & Switch tactic. Potential clients think they are taking action on TOPSEOs.com to contact Company A but get Company B instead. Bait & Switch is fully illegal, as in AGAINST US LAW. Anyone who has suffered through this should contact the Better Business Bureau immediately, or companies like TOPSEOs are going to stick around.
18 False Claims?
My company has been in Top seos in the past, but because we do not buy their leads now, our ranking has dropped. They claim to simpy "evaluate" seo companies, however, that is loaded with B.S. They tell consumers that they should look at their rankings because they have a stringent policy of ranking. Well, if you think that stringent rankings involves how much you are willing to pay Top SEOs, then I guess you should use them! TOP seos is a total scam. If you are person trying to evaluate SEO companies, dont use them. They lie. 19 SCAM!!
Lately many people must have seen SEO companies publishing results about getting top ranked as the best seo company in a given country or best link building company in a given country by TOP SEOs so i decided to look into it further. One of my old client ranks ranks at position one for best seo company in UK for almost last 1-2 years and he told me that they pay a large chunk of money to top seos to maintain this listing. My partner in Australia asked top seos for the top spot in Australia but they were told that its already booked by the same UK company and they can get the 3rd position and lately the UK company stopped their operations in Australia and we were given the top spot again for money. So in short TOP seos is basically a SCAM and there is no actual research done for ranking the SEO companies on the basis of the seo services they provide. 20 Verified SEO: The Latest SEO Scam?
topseos.com. a company claiming to rank SEO companies on the service they provide and then supplies them with badges listing their rankings to use on their website and emails etc. I came across them a couple of years ago and thought it would be good to get the SEO company I work for reviewed and listed so we could use it in marketing collateral, after all, looking at the criteria we ticked all the boxes to rank well. So we contacted them to ask for a review and inclusion in their rankings and how we got included. Their response? "You need to pay" or to put more detail on it, you have to pay anything from £400 per month to £1800 a month to be considered for rankings. Hardly sounds impartial does it! 21 Ripoff Report Directory | Complaints Reviews Scams Lawsuits Frauds ReportedTopseos.com or Top Seos rates and reviews companies based solely on how much they PAY, the more money you give Topseos.com the better your rating. Basically I can be a crappy SEO company, pay Topseos.com 1000's of dollars and they will say I'm number one! 22 Fell for TopSEOs…advice?
So yesterday I check out their site and we were ranked #1 for SEO Copywriting. For about two seconds I was jumping for joy…but after that I got sick to my stomach. In all the chaos with end of year stuff and the holidays I never considered the fact that they didn't take any references. They never evaluated anything. Here we were ranked #1 and they couldn't possibly know anything about us. Not to mention that there are plenty of more established SEO Copywriting companies. I'm starting to freak out… 23 Kill The Hypocrisy, It's Time To Take a Stand
Yesterday a press release, uncritically regurgitated by The Drum, made the rounds on various social media platforms. It concerned a company's "number one UK SEO company" ranking, as awarded by none other than TopSEOs. Aside from the editorial blunder of publishing this drivel, there are massive levels of fail in evidence here. Anyone in the SEO industry who can rub more than two braincells together knows that TopSEOs is a scam (as should be evident from the links provided later in this post). 24 Best SEO companies in Australia
So in a few words: If you want us to rank you for what you want to be ranked… you need to pay 1K per month. mmm fair isn't?
So who actually wins the Complaints Awards 2012 – you ask?
Well, that's going to be difficult as there could be legal matters. I dont want people putting the Hobo logo on their sites saying I rated them as a "Award Winner". I will need to get some disclaimer….. hang on….
I will quote this bit from Topseos themselves – which basically says my rankings awards aren't worth the bits they are written with – that should protect me:
User agrees to not hold topseos.com and/or [Name Removed], LLC and/or any members and/or any managers and/or any of our partners and/or suppliers liable from any decisions they take. Furthermore, [Name Removed], LLC is not liable for any statements, representations, descriptions, comments, or opinions posted on the Site. [Name Removed], LLC cannot guarantee the accuracy, integrity, or quality of Rankings. Under no circumstances will [Name Removed], LLC or any third-party providers of the Rankings be liable in any way for any Ranking, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any Ranking/s, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of the Ranking/s.
OK – with my disclaimer out of the way – I can now present the Topseos Complaints Award 2012 to……
- Alan Bleiweiss – Gold Award Winner | Twitter https://twitter.com/#!/AlanBleiweiss
- Edward Lewis – Silver | Twitter – https://twitter.com/#!/pageoneresults
- Aaron Wall – Bronze | Twitter https://twitter.com/#!/aaronwall
You want a few hundred thousand spun press releases to go with that award, Alan?
Let me know.
Oh – and I forgot – if you want to keep your award – I want £1,000 a month for it. Or a beer. Whichever is easier.
PS – Yes – Edward Lewis was also a champion of this – a truly animal reporter. Alan edged it by introducing a human element to the investigative journalism that was led by Edward, by actually interviewing the man behind Topseos. Aaron Wall featured as often, it takes someone with the celebrity he has to get the rest of the seo world to take notice.
PPS – I also emitted any single person's name from the entries quoted from around the web, including the man, the myth, the legend behind topseos. The problem is with the organisation – not one individual. This isn't a witch hunt and I don't want to besmirch any one person's name.
This article is 100% MY OPINION BTW. And that opinion is that they (and their Top SEO Awards) suck balls, wether they 'work' as advertising or not for the seo companies who want to be associated with them – which I hear they do – very well. Go figure.
Opinion: TopSEOs Sewage Leaks To Scotland via The Drum Magazine
TopSEOs Sewage Leaks To Scotland via @thedrum hobo.im/xBQQzf
— Shaun Anderson (@Hobo_Web) January 16, 2012
Jan 16, 2012 – Man. I was so disappointed when I saw the Drum Magazine today – surely recognised as one of Scotland's – and the UK's – top marketing and advertising publications – at least it used to be (or I had that impression) when I worked as a junior in 'advertising' in the 90s.
Why the disappointment?
For spreading, in my opinion, more TopSEOS sewage about. This time, wait for it – promoting "The number one SEO company in the UK" – LOL :
What an astonishing – even, misleading, claim to make about ANY SEO company in the UK.
Lets be clear – I don't have a beef with the company mentioned – they are using a marketing channel – and it obviously works for them. Why they need to go into bed with Topseos I have no idea – we got @50 new business leads over the last 4 weeks without paid advertising – at all – anywhere – but that's up to them – but if they want to put their name to that crap – they are putting themselves in the firing line. Big profits to make – it would seem.
My problem is actually with the Drum for spreading this sewage about companies WINNING AWARDS when they – according to many reports – ARE PAYING TOPSEOS TO WIN THESE AWARDS.
I asked the Drum if they were comfortable with that editorial on their site and (very nice of him, it has to be said) –
– the Drum's editor, Gordon Young, replied:
Although The Drum likes to make sure all our editorial is as strong as possible, I have to confess we are not infallible. That is where we benefit from the strength of our online community who do a fantastic job providing additional balance where necessary, or at least putting forward alternative viewpoints from those reported in some of the news.
Apparently the content was not paid for, either.
So – this was an editorial?
Well this was a massive fail, in my opinion.
This one article has destroyed any trust I would have had in the Drum to publish accurate news. Hell, even publish accurate press releases.
The TopSEO website rates companies on a number of categories including needs analysis, keyword analysis, on page optimisation, off page optimisation and reporting methods.
That is laughable.
I don't know of ONE respected SEO, from anywhere in the world, who has came forward and defended the practices of TopSEOS over the last few years – OR ANY of TOPSEOS astonishing claims.
I DO know of PLENTY of SEO who have came forward claiming Topseos awards and processes was – paraphrasing – a 'joke'.

FFS – Need I say more?
Seriously – these topseos awards are a disservice to this industry – and clients looking for good seo companies – everywhere. I can't believe I am getting worked up about a crappy LEAD GENERATION site….but it annoys every time you go to Google and see these "TOP AWARDS" and "No1 SEO Company" all over PPC ads.
Ahem….trading standards?
Thank you – The Drum magazine – for spreading this sewage about in Scotland, and helping make it even harder to compete as a small SEO company in 2012.
HUGE disappointment.

Topseos Awards For Best SEO Company Not Transparent Enough
The industry seem to have turned their attention to TopSeos – "identified as an independent authority on vendors" (by themselves apparently) and it makes for a good read.
It seems the legitimate SEO community, for the most part, finds what TOPSEOs does to be distasteful at best, a shakedown service at worst. Alan Bleiweiss
Apparently this organisation produce rankings and award badges for best seo companies in various countries (including the UK) … except folk are of the opinion you might have to pay TOPSEOS.com thousands of pounds to be considered for these industry awards.
UPDATE – I asked for Hobo to be removed from the directory, and asked the "best uk seo company in the UK" (according to themselves) to stop bidding on our brand name with this nonsense. Generally speaking, I'm happy with that, now, both have complied with our requests.
As of 2010-03-31, there are 3,247 search engine optimization companies listed. Of those 3,247 SEO companies, 170 are listed in the Best Search Engine Optimization Companies category. @pageoneresults
My experience is we were ranked the 4th best seo company in the UK a few years ago, about a year just after we launched Hobo, (just above Andrew's team the week that they sold for £60 million or something like that lol).
Actually this is the exact email I sent to Michael when I was informed we were ranked in 2007.
"Title – 4th best seo company in the uk lol
(Note the above link is now redirected – there's no archive on the site but there is a record in the Web Archive). Actually in November 2007 we were 3rd it seems – shows how much attention I was paying.
I'm not sure if I actually submitted my seo company to be ranked or at least included in what looked like a large on-topic directory for seo companies. I honestly can't remember. Anyway for 3 months we ranked, unpaid. Even appeared in a magazine. Then we disappeared. (UPDATE – No, I just found out it was my MD the amateur – lucky I keep him on accounting detail these days :p !)
I KNOW FOR 100% they hadn't contacted any of my clients at any time and nothing had changed in that 3 months since we had been ranked so I didn't think it was anything worth "supporting" or anything much worth promoting – that's the only word I can remember from the communication I had with them – other than a nice bit of linkbait (if pointless and potentially misleading from where I was standing). (EDIT – i had some sort of telephone communication with them when i (**think**) I enquired about updating my inaccurate profile to see if it improved my ranking (as if!) or encouraged them to contact my current clients – which also did not happen).
So I forgot about them.
Well I would have, if I didn't see TONS of online press releases out at the start of every month from SEO companies who claim to be the best seo companies in the UK, as voted by a company who themselves herald they have been "identified as an independent authority on vendors".
It seems a nice merry go around if claims are to be believed. You pay. They award and then you promote the fact you're a top seo company to customers who are looking for the best seo company. Everybody wins – even the unsuspecting customer if the seo company they get is any good lol :)
Here's what one company won in the last 3 months:

If carlsberg made seo companies lol – the company above "enjoys a solid reputation in the online marketing services industry" according to themselves in an article, backed up with awards from an organisation who is "identified as an independent authority on vendors" according to THEMselves.
It's amazing to think a SEO company THAT GOOD would stop to think about looking after your little company…. perhaps they can come out and detail their evaluation process and bring an end to the apparent speculation that it's not legit.
I think it would be nice if TopSeos stated which SEO companies WERE ACTUALLY EVALUATED FOR RANKING AWARDS each month and listed those that are NOT EVALUATED for the awards – like Hobo – for whatever reasons. My opinion (this whole article is purely opinion) is that's not going to happen though, is it.
My opinion – I don't think the seo community needs any body to govern it, if the seo community governs itself. I don't think these awards are of as much value to customers looking for a seo company as they are to the marketing department of a seo company who is awarded them. I think most awards and badges out there on the net are either fun linkbait, bollocks or plain inaccurate and often misleading. Some are a total scam.
If you are looking for a seo company, I hope you are lucky. It's a minefield at the best of times. At the moment, we are VERY CAREFUL with the projects we take on to make sure they suit what we are good at and we deliver for our PAYING clients. Chances are, we won't take you on as a new client if you are thinking of hiring a seo at the moment especially if you have not been referred to us by a current customer – we've said NO to the biggest of the biggest international companies because they didn't fit our small agency.
If you are a small business you might want to check out our free seo guide to get an idea of just what's involved.
We've never asked anybody for work, or sent out a spam email, or paid for leads or used CPC to get leads in 4 years nearly 9 years and we won't ever (we don't have a sales team) and I bet there are a good few companies out there in the exact same position you won't ever hear about EXCEPT from folk you know.
We've learned over the last 4 8 and a half years you can't win all the rankings, you can't be the best at every aspect of internet marketing and your better sticking to the type of projects the team enjoy and have experience in and so get better at them. Our business model is in total transition at the moment as we move more and more into affiliates and pay-per-performance with long term clients we already have a good relationship with because if you do SEO you know it's a long term commitment to get good rankings.
Topseos Rate The Best Web Design Companies In The World, Too?
Supposedly, Topseos rank the Best SEO companies in the world – see this list. Now, they call themselves the independent authority on search vendors, and give out awards every month to the 'winners' but the SEO community forced an apology from topseos here.
What you are not told clearly, to win these top awards you need to PAY TOPSEOS a lot of money (aparently) TOPSEOS is a lead generation company it appears.
In fact, probably the leading authority on SEO in the UK, Dave Naylor, said in a recent interview Topseos was a sham and another respected UK SEO Patrick Altoft pitched in here detailing how much these things cost.
Now Topseos also rank the "best web design companies in the world" and whether or not they actually pay for those awards, how they operate in the SEO industry could well be the shape of things to come.
Effectively once a company pays and is awarded the top awards, these companies then PROMOTE THE HELL out of the fact they have WON these awards, using Twitter spam bots and Press releases – see this Twitter feed!
Now the SEO industry (those that aren't just spammers! I know I know ;)) is trying to educate consumers to this, but I wondered what the web design industry thought of Topseos rankings for best web design companies.
But in a wider sense, it would be nice to get an idea of what web designers and developers think of these paid for awards and if they serve to serve anything other than getting those who pay for the awards, more unsuspecting clients.
Please leave your comments :)

Watch Winders Buying Guide
To keep your automatic watches in working order, you need a watch winder. A watch winder or watch rotator is a watch box that maintains the self-winding movement of an automatic watch while it is in storage. They're available in many styles and sizes. Here's how to find the one that will best suit your needs.
FAQs about Watch Winders
An automatic watch doesn't need to be wound by hand and doesn't require a battery. These watches capture the motion of your wrist to wind the watch and keep it running continually. If you don't wear your automatic watch every day, it will eventually stop and will need to be wound and reset before you wear it again. A watch winders will allow you to avoid these steps by gently rotating your automatic watch continually to keep it ticking. A watch winder looks just like a watch box. Many watch winders also have space for additional watch storage. A watch box with a winder is a good investment for keeping your automatic watches ready to wear.

Series: Saturday Science Links (21 entries)
The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
From geology to biology to research into the origin of life itself, the power of water shows the faithfulness and creativity of our Creator.
Is Christianity anti-science? Can Christians be good scientists? Is science the only source of true knowledge? Pastor Dave Gustavsen of Jacksonville Chapel addresses these issues.
Evolution is a challenging subject to consider in light of biblical faith, so it is often easier to ignore or reject it than to engage in meaningful discussion about the topic. Yet considering evolutionary creation has important benefits for Christians both in our relationship with the Creator, and in our relationships with other people—both believers and non-believers.
We as Christians cannot claim that the world belongs to God and at the same time distrust the systematic study of it.
In the early 1700s, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz famously disagreed about whether God periodically "corrected" the orbits of the planets. Why their disagreement matters for today's debates about God and evolution.
Because reliance upon experts cannot be eliminated, the central question for Christians today is not "should I believe scientific experts?" but "which scientific experts should I believe?"
Evangelicals are skeptical of space exploration—but can pastors change this from the pulpit?
I've always thought of the sense of smell as a more intimate sense than most other senses. For in smelling, the thing that we smell becomes almost a part of us.
The prevailing evangelical view that evolution is in competition with the biblical account of creation sets up students to encounter a false dichotomy, where they feel they must choose between science or their faith.
Science is an honest and noble pursuit, evidence of human intellect and curiosity, and to turn away from these is to deny a very important part of who God created us to be in the first place.
When a Christian explores divine action in nature, that person also moves into the realm of revealed purpose and meaning of existence—each of which emanate from within the triune God who is love.
The former chair of the Harvard University physics department muses on how faith gives meaning to his scientific work.
The story of the Genesis Rock reminds us of how biblical and scientific accounts, despite their different purviews and purposes, remain inexorably linked in our understanding of origins.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
Are black holes in trouble? Could life have come from space? What do we know about the religious lives of Indian scientists? Find the answers to these questions and more.
This week's news features volcanoes, skeletons, and stars, as well as a thought-provoking new book from InterVarsity press.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
But what I heard on Sundays did not seem to fit with what I experienced of the world the rest of the week. Growing up in New Mexico in the cottonwood bosque of the Rio Grande valley provided everything for a kid to become a biologist. I roamed along the river, cooked over cottonwood fires, ate wild asparagus, watched clouds form thunderheads over the distant peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

Dixie FrederickChambersburg, Pa.Hot DiffuserI would like to tell you that this is the best diffuser on the market! I use it on all my clients and have sold quite a few to them as well.... the soft fingers is what make the product and this is the only kind that I have found that works great!!!posted Feb 5, 2006Link to this post

BethanyNot SureThe item came to me quick and it looks great, but it doesnt fit my blowdryer so I am not sure if it works well. The item discription said that it should fit most blowdryers, but it seems as though it will only fit skinny blowdryers because I tried it on three different blowdryers and it didnt fit.

Wheeler looks to build on strong debut vs. White Sox
Chicago counters with ace Sale in opener of two-game series with NY
Zack Wheeler delivered in his highly anticipated debut. Now comes the task of following up on that success.
The Mets' rookie right-hander will take the ball on Tuesday night, when New York opens a two-game set at U.S. Cellular Field, its first visit to the White Sox ballpark in more than 10 years.
The Mets come in 5-3 on their 11-game road trip, a stretch that included Wheeler's first big league start, last Tuesday at Atlanta. The 23-year-old top prospect, pitching in his home state, tossed six scoreless innings against the first-place Braves. Although he walked five, he struck out seven and allowed only four hits.
That performance made Wheeler the third pitcher in team history to debut with at least six scoreless innings, following Masato Yoshii in 1998 and Dick Rusteck in 1966. His second outing comes against a White Sox lineup that ranks last in the American League in runs.
At the same time, teams now can start building a book on Wheeler and making adjustments.
"I think every start is a challenge. Every lineup is different," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "To be honest, it will be interesting to see how he does the next time he pitches against the Braves. After they have seen him once, then you really have to make pitches, because they have a feel for what he does and how he does it."
The White Sox will counter with their own young star in 24-year-old Chris Sale, who has never faced the Mets. The left-hander comes in with a 2.69 ERA an 91 strikeouts in 90 1/3 innings.
Sale allowed more than two earned runs for only the second time in his past 10 starts on Wednesday at Minnesota. He expended 101 pitches in only five innings, allowing four runs on eight hits.
"I didn't have good command," Sale said. "I was coming out of myself. I just kind of need to gather myself and get the flow again and regroup next time out."
Mets: Wright could start at DH
• Collins said that third baseman David Wright could be in the lineup at designated hitter for one of the two games in Chicago. Wright has played only third while appearing in all 72 of the Mets' games, including 71 starts.
He has started only three games at DH in his career, the last in 2010.
• Another DH candidate would be Zach Lutz, who was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday, with Lucas Duda going on the DL. Lutz will help fill in at first, along with Josh Satin and Andrew Brown, while Daniel Murphy will remain at second.
The Mets decided not to recall Ike Davis from Las Vegas, with the club facing left-handed starting pitchers in three straight games beginning on Sunday.
White Sox: Streak ends for Crain
• Reliever Jesse Crain entered Sunday's game against the Royals with 29 consecutive scoreless appearances, a streak that spanned 29 innings and went back to April 17.
But the veteran right-hander was tagged with a blown save and a loss in the series finale at Kansas City, surrendering three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning. Although all three runs were unearned, leaving Crain's ERA at 0.52, it was his own error on a sacrifice bunt by Elliot Johnson that extended the inning.
• Adam Dunn clubbed his 20th home run of the season on Sunday, giving him 426 for his career and tying him with Billy Williams for 46th place on the all-time list. Dunn has seven homers in his past 14 games and now has reached 20 for the 11th time.
Worth noting
• The teams split two games in New York last month. Their only other matchup came when the White Sox took two of three in Chicago in June 2002.
• The White Sox, who are 16-14 at home, are beginning a nine-game homestand at U.S. Cellular Field.

The Last Dance
On Saturday, Nov. 9, a farewell skate session was planned at the Brooklyn Street Skate Spot in Portland, Ore. The 3-year-old DIY skatepark had to be torn down due to the building of the TriMet Light Rail Transit Project. Unlike most DIY skateparks, the city and community were supportive of the park and came out to celebrate in droves during the last days.
Here's a look at how Brooklyn Street was constructed and the good times that were had over the years.

Project Payphone
The Idea
There has been much talk of hooking up a payphone to a cheap VoIP account and allowing free use of it as a Noisebridge public service. A popular idea is to put said payphone outside of 83C for public use. Some of us have expressed grave concerns that this will be too much of a liability and quickly result in us no longer having said payphone. Expect bickering over the issue.
The Phone
An awesome old red payphone was serendipitously discovered abandoned on Grand Avenue in Oakland. Our local hero picked it up and brought it to the space.
We got it open to discover the following:
- The date of manufacture seems to be a very scribbly Aug. 1988.
- It is completely missing the coin counting and collecting mechanism.
- The keypad and hang-up switch look intact. The metal buttons on the outside actually just press against a standard little plastic keypad on the inside.
- The headset is not connected to anything, but terminates in four red, black, green and yellow wires that can be hooked up to a standard RJ11 (normal phone jack) connector.
- Out of the keypad/hang-up switch part there is a DB15 connector, equally hooked up to nothing. The assumption is that both this and the headset were connected to the coin counting mechanism which was the brains of the operation.
- We'll likely need to gut another phone for some missing parts, but how much surgery is needed will depend on what that DB15 connector can do for us. For that, we need someone to find a schematic for the pins, or someone who is a master reverse-engineer. If that's you, get to work!
Well, Seth is a master reverse-engineer, and Steen is an old school phreaker, so one long night spent on this later:
- We decoded the standard schema for DTMF that seems to apply at least to both the gutted landline phone and the payphone internals, and determined the pinouts for both the relevant bits. It turns out, a button on the keypad doesn't simply close a circuit to make a pin hot, it activates two pins, which then correspond to inputs on the DTMF encoder chip. In other words, Dual-Tone doesn't just mean the tones that are output, it also applies to the signals inside the phone circutry. Neat! So now we can connect the output pins from the payphone keypad to the DTMF inputs on the landline guts. Seth is (I think) planning on bringing in a db15 breakout box in order to manifest this. Please no one break it further before we get a chance to do so.
- We figured out the order of wires for the headset to operate, corresponding to the (somewhat arbitrary) aligator clip => rj11 cable we made for the purpose. We got this to connect to the guts of a functioning landline phone, and got a dialtone from the VoIP box, as well as a functioning mic. This mapping is complicated to format on the wiki, it's written on the inside of the old headset in sharpie. That counts as documentation.
I actually took more pictures but I strangely had a "Memory Card Error" (GRR!) and these were the two I recovered.
Post more if you got 'em.
Miloh's further adventures of (mostly COCOT) Payphone hacking
COCOT Phones seem more easily obtained than phone company payphones. There may be interesting things to do with these, or they may be junk to be replaced with a simple dtmf/FXS supply and some kind of controller.
I got another payphone working that was parted out. It's still missing some parts, but I got a dial tone. I have it hooked up to the Linksys internet phone adapter, and even though there's no registered voip account, I can make toll free calls.. I can tell the board is programmed because it has odd pricings for different local calls I attempt to make, most calls are at least .75 a minute :) The DTMFs drop in pitch a little bit if you hold the keys for awhile, sounds really nifty. Is it dragging the PSU down with too much draw??
The first Citizen Engineer video on Vimeo was a great help, why didn't I see this before?!? and the Citizen Engineer site...
A guy on Instructables says there are three types of control boards. I think I'm going to have to take it out of the sheet metal chassis to identify which board I have.
I got a nice Keypad/Hookswitch Assy. to Red/Black/White/White payphone handset wiring diagram at porticus.org
A Protel board type user manual: Series5Manual.pdf
- Page 15 of this pdf has a great exploded view for payphones
- Page 16 has parts listing, and old school pricing...
A goldmine of pdfs from payphone.com's support pages... may not be there forever, probably good to archive these somewhere else.
Aside from making the first stage of this phone work for my friend's art installation, I haven't decided on the final goal for this project... hmmm a portable backpack payphone running off a burner sim might be interesting...
The form page at the payphone.com payphone programming site gives a good target for common functions to control across different board types

TORONTO – Ron Rolston spent time at Harvard University and Boston College, so it's fitting that words such as "teacher" and "smart" continually surface in conversations about the Buffalo Sabres' interim coach.
"I'd probably be considered a little more analytical in approach," Rolston said Thursday before his first game behind the Sabres' bench.
After 16 years of watching fiery and passionate Lindy Ruff, the switch to the methodical Rolston will be the first thing noticed by Sabres fans. While Ruff certainly had smarts and Rolston undoubtedly will show intensity, a reserved, scholarly attitude is expected to take over Sabreland.
"I like the way he went about his business," said Toronto forward James van Riemsdyk, who played under Rolston for two years with the United States National Development Team Program. "He wasn't necessarily a yeller or a screamer. He was a cerebral guy who understood the different nuances about the game and was a great teacher.
"He kind of assesses things and kind of processes things well and just makes decisions from there."
On the surface, the 46-year-old Rolston made a rapid ascent to an NHL job. He coached just 127 games at the professional level before facing the Maple Leafs in Air Canada Centre, all of them coming with the Sabres' minor-leaguers in Rochester during the last 16 months.
But he honed his measured tactics at a number of stops dating to 1991. He served as an assistant at Lake Superior State, Clarkson, Harvard and Boston College before a seven-year run with USA Hockey. Though the NHL is a completely different level for Rolston – wins are more important than development – he says he won't let the atmosphere change his approach.
"Certainly here my job is to jump-start this team and to do it in any way we can," Rolston said. "I don't think you can change who you are. I've spent twentysome years in this game coaching, and preparation is not" just what he did on Wednesday and Thursday before facing the Leafs. "It was the 20 years before that.
"You certainly have to be flexible in terms of how you go about that with the message, but certainly not the way I coach and the way I handle the players."
Considering Rolston's experience at the collegiate, junior and minor-league levels, it's no surprise his ability to groom players takes a prime spot on his resume.
"Ron's definitely a good developer and teacher," said Sabres left wing Marcus Foligno, who spent time in Rochester the past two seasons. "He doesn't really get startled. He's calm and he can think in tough situations. That's one of the good things he has.
"He's really good at explaining things. He's really good at details and on-ice stuff. I think he's going to help us out."
Defenseman T.J. Brennan, who also played parts of two seasons for the Rolston-coached Amerks, expects the Sabres to gravitate toward the coach.
"There's just a lot of positivity," Brennan said. "He does a good job with energy and makes guys feel comfortable. He's a players' coach. It's a little bit of a change from around here, but I think that's a good thing.
"Everyone's a little surprised and upset with Lindy. It's a sad thing to see, but it's a business. Having Ron come here, you have to move forward. Ron's going to bring a lot of positivity, and hopefully we'll turn this thing around."
The biggest question will be how the Sabres' veterans react to the newcomer.
"We have to move forward," said alternate captain Thomas Vanek, who added it was difficult to believe his eight-season run with Ruff had ended. "I have to get beyond that and respect Ron coming in and listen to his new philosophy."
Kevin Porter, the Amerks' captain who joined Rolston in making his Buffalo debut Thursday, said the coach has the ability to connect with youngsters and older players.
"The first time you talk to him you know he's a smart guy and he knows hockey," Porter said. "The older guys there he was great with. He knows what he's doing. He's a smart guy, and he's a good coach."
Rolston immediately made it clear he won't spare players' feelings. He was asked to assess what he's seen from the Sabres this season, and his blunt answer showed Ruff wasn't solely to blame for the struggles.
"From what I saw, it was more of just a lot of shortcuts, a lot of shortcuts, a lot of rest in shifts, the things that you just have to eliminate if you're going to be a good hockey team," he said. "Most importantly, it's just getting back to that. It's getting back to work and getting back to eliminating shortcuts from your game because there's not a whole lot of time.
"We understand at this point that the talking part of things is over. As Michael Jordan says, 'I want to see it done, I don't want to hear it done.'
"We talked about it being a process for us. Certainly, any time there's a change, especially with the tenure Lindy had with this group, there's obviously a new voice now. It's my job with that voice to get the message across and make sure the tone is set and the mind-set is where we want it to be."

Brabus Rocket takes title of World's Fastest Sedan with 362.4 km/h run
June 28, 2006 German Performance vehicle manufacturer Brabus has pushed its own world record for the world's fastest sedan from 350.2 km/h (set by the 298,000 euro 640 bhp Brabus E V12 Biturbo earlier this year) to an incredible 362.4 km/h set at Nardo in Southern Italy by the 348,000-euro (US$437,575) Brabus Rocket, a new small-series production vehicle based on the new Mercedes CLS series. The heart of the new record car is the twin-turbo V12 engine from the latest Mercedes 600 models, suitably worked to increase displacement to 6.233 litres and with a maximum power output of 730 bhp (537 kW) at 5,100 rpm. The engine is capable of producing a peak torque figure of 1,320 Nm, but is limited electronically to 1,100 Nm, available from a low 2,100 rpm, all the way through the range. The Brabus Rocket accordingly accelerates like there's no tomorrow, particularly given its luxury girth, achieving 0-100 km/h in 4.0 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 10.5 seconds, 0-300 km/h in 29.5 seconds, and just so you don't do anything silly, the car is limited electronically for street-legal operation to 350 km/h. Extensive image library and full story on this outrageous four door "family sedan."
