I find it fascinating how 'the move everyone saw coming' got everyone excited as it has. Then again, when the curtain lifts on something this impressive, people tend to be a bit excitable. I am, of course, talking about the Codename: NGP. Gratuitous promotional shot:
Yes, IGN. Shoot me. This is just a blog.
For full specs, go look at the front page. My first impressions make it very obvious that this is, without a doubt, a direct successor to the PSP, with nigh-identical size, profile, and layout. Of course, everything does happen to look so much rounder. The twin analogs were a given, as were the front touchpad, but the rear touchpad definitely threw me for a loop. More gratutitous images:
Emphasis on the curves... Oh, and the touchpad, too.
This, controls is where I see a big battle going down. I was very surprised when the 3DS was announced...with one analog stick, because it's already been proven that the need to constantly juggle between the screen and buttons is awkward with the DS, and that doesn't add to it. Meanwhile, the PSP has several simultaneous methods of input.
From a standard grip on the NGP, you have access to all analogs and buttons, grasp on the rear touchpad, and can easily thumb-over to the front screen, as well. ...And then there's motion control. That's a ridiculous amount of options available at any given time. Given the presumable lack of analog click-in and single triggers, this flexibility more than makes up for any control issues that might arise.
I can see some standards quickly cementing themselves, such as a quick swipe on the back pad translating into a grenade toss, for example. There's a real potential for some elegant extensions of standard controls, here, not to mention unique systems by themselves, like what was displayed in Little Deviants. I haven't found any word as to whether the buttons themselves are digital, like the old PSP, or have been upgraded to analog, yet.
A note, though: I think that for the most part, the front touchpad will be used primarily for menu controls and some tertiary controls in the corners, rather than being a primary input device. Well, except for those more 'unique' games.
If the announced games didn't clue you in, the dual analogs will make this a great system for one very specific type of genre.
Best video screencap I could get.
Let's keep in mind, here, that shooters happen to be the most popular genre in gaming, and have been for a little while, now. This is a system that happens to have the (essentially) unabridged controls for them...in a portable form. Rather than having to do some kind of unique workaround, this will just work for shooters, which is a direct portal for the core audience. Beyond that, let's talk specifics.
Activision announced Call of Duty for the NGP.
For better or worse, Call of Duty is The Unstoppable Juggernaut of gaming, transcending 'gamers' to even be popular with general culture. No matter what you think of the franchise, (and I've certainly had my own opinion) it will be a boon for the system if they market it correctly.
I've heard it many times that some people aren't looking for the full console experience on a handheld, they want short, quick bites of gameplay that they can pick up and drop easily, when a few minutes of time crop up. Consider this:
People play Call of Duty for the multiplayer. The average multiplayer round lasts...ten minutes? Fifteen?
The NGP has 3G.
This. Is. It. The ability to, from virtually anywhere, jump into a game, play one round or two, then pack up and do something else. And you can go from basic deathmatch or team deathmatch rounds lasting only five minutes to more involved gamemodes like headquarters lasting longer. Pick what you've got time for.
Let's also remember that chances are very good that the next Call of Duty to be announced is going to be Modern Warfare 3. Add in that you can have stuff like 'that guy 50 feet from you is playing X, join?' and this has the potential to be something massive.
Of course, portability and power happen to share a common issue.
The PSP's battery is infamous. I wouldn't say it's the biggest problem with the system, because I was actually okay with its lifespan, but it's still a pretty big issue. The NGP is a beast of a system, and all that power's got to come from somewhere.
One huge improvement, though, is the fact the NGP is running an OLED screen. I've written about this before but the buttom line is that you get a screen that's far more energy efficient, even while running more pixels and all, because you don't have to do the backlighting and projection through an LCD screen eating up power, you have a low-power, direct-lighting solution. Given that the screen was the biggest sapper of energy on the old PSP, this will run massively better. It's interesting to note that the 3DS actually works through a visual trick based on projection through layered LCD screens, hence the low life.
This leaves most of the power draw at the disposal of the powerhouses. The multi-core solution means that they can underclock them substantially for low-power, high-performance. It's a matter of expense more than anything else. Not having the spacious UMD drive also means more battery room, as well. Reportedly, the lifespan is going to be about the same as the original PSP's. So 4-6 hours depending on the application. Like I said, I haven't had any real issue with my experiences with that.
Ultimately, though, the Big Question is how much it costs, because that's going to determine the rest of its success, more than anything else. All we have concrete to go on is that it's going to be 'affordable' in a delightfully ambiguous term. That pretty much rules out it being up in the $500-600 range, but everything else is fair game.
The way this system could be a real success would be if they manage to squeeze the system's price down to $300. At that price point, you get a couple things. One, it's the exact same price as the 3DS, meaning direct competition. Two, it's the same price as the PS3, with roughly equivalent capabilities. Three, that straddles the price range of the various iPod touch models, and is a couple hundred cheaper than the iPad. With all those in perspective, Sony has multiple angles and strategies for marketing it, and if they can get a campaign as effective as the "Only Does Everything" one has been, there's a real chance.
It's a pipe dream that they'd take the hits by dropping the price to $250. Potentially lucrative, but I have a hard time believing Sony would be willing to lose that much blood to get the NGP out there that much. Over $300, though, every $50 brings them that much further away from the NGP being a success out of the gate, and would look more like the PS3's life. Multiple models, though, would probably help some in controlling some of the early losses.
The table is definitely set like it was back in 2004, when the PSP and the DS were staged for an epic battle. ...And we all know how that turned out. However, despise the PSP's own success within a specific perspective, I definitely think the NGP will be a much more competitive system, from its improvement upon the PSP's mistakes.
The PSP is definitely a flawed system for various reasons. The PSP-tunnel syndrome that resulted from its awkward, cramping format so far looks like it's been at least partially remedied, with the aforementioned curviness, higher button placement, etc. The control problems have definitely been fixed, as well. The system also attempted to do everything in one system. Which...it did, but it really didn't do all of them particularly well, especially when held against the light of the iPhone and its ilk. Remember how quickly the movie side died? We still don't know how it's going to work in the final system, so that's still a lingering question. The noisy, power-hungry and slow UMDs which were such a great concept dropped the ball in execution, and has been swapped with much more efficient flash cartridges.
Most of all, though, the PSP attempted to bring a a full console's experience to your hands. It's definitely succeeded at that much more than anything else, but its real problem was hardware. It was simply released too early. When the system came out in 2005, its PS2-like graphics were suddenly becoming less impressive compared to the new consoles coming out, and it just didn't have the capability to deliver an equivalent experience of the next generation of consoles, and suddenly found itself in a strange limbo.
The NGP is probably going to be released at exactly the right time. The current generation of consoles is likely to stay around for several years, yet, and this handheld can rival their performance, meaning the same quality of experience. This generation is well in the middle, over the rough beginnings, and handheld technology is advanced enough to actually support the power needed to rival it without being horribly inefficient.
If the NGP learns from the PSP's mistakes, it will be absolutely awesome. And I'm totally getting one.
Oh! Names. Obviously, Next Generation Portable is just a placeholder to keep from getting "PSP2" engrained in the public consciousness. So I've decided to come up with some ideas of my own! (If anyone from Sony is reading, please, go ahead! I'd like a little credit, though.)
- PlayStation Mobile (PSM)
The obvious one, slightly generic, but it carries across the "Playstation experience anywhere" idea succinctly enough.
- PlayStation Universe (PSU)
This name carries that "Ooh, sparkly!" feeling with it, while having a grand scope to it, and harkens back to 90s consoles.
- PlayStation On The Move! (POM)
Heh. Sorry, couldn't resist.
- PlayStation BlackBird (PSB)
Yes, it sounds like a phone. But it's so...! Fine, fine..
- PlayStation Enhed (PSE)
It's enigmatic! It's unique! It's...the word 'device' in Danish. Okay, I'll stop, now.

Skip to comments.Papers Please: Arrested At Circuit City (Donations welcome, the ACLU will get most of it)
Posted on 09/03/2007 3:19:20 PM PDT by antiRepublicrat
Today was an eventful day. I drove to Cleveland, reunited with my fathers side of the family and got arrested. More on that arrested part to come.
For the labor day weekend my father decided to host a small family reunion. My sister flew in from California and I drove in from Pittsburgh to visit my father, his wife and my little brother and sister. Shortly after arriving we packed the whole family into my fathers Buick and headed off to the grocery store to buy some ingredients to make monkeybread. (Its my little sisters birthday today and that was her cute/bizare birthday request.)
Next to the grocery store was a Circuit City. (The Brooklyn, Ohio Circuit City to be exact.) Having forgotten that it was my sisters birthday I decided to run in and buy her a last minute gift. I settled on Disneys Cars game for the Nintendo Wii. I also needed to purchase a Power Squid surge protector which I paid for separately with my business credit card. As I headed towards the exit doors I passed a gentleman whose name I would later learn is Santura. As I began to walk towards the doors Santura said, Sir, I need to examine your receipt. I responded by continuing to walk past him while saying, No thank you.
As I walked through the double doors I heard Santura yelling for his manager behind me. My father and the family had the Buick pulled up waiting for me outside the doors to Circuit City. I opened the door and got into the back seat while Santura and his manager, whose name I have since learned is Joe Atha, came running up to the vehicle.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsite.michaelrighi.com ...
Exactly! now may I see that receipt?
How about the other shit that some people stuff in their bags on the way.
Still theirs?
Bags, pants ... if it's shoplifting, deal with it as such. Someone who was just handed a receipt and walked directly to the door hasn't done anything wrong - leave 'em alone. They're not checking the contents of your briefs, right?
Of course stores don't want to get ripped off by shoplifters. However, most stores have hidden cameras and undercover shoppers to help prevent loss.
When you buy a high priced gadget they are usually behind lock and key and you have to ask a representative for one and purchase it at that counter. You're not allowed to walk around the store with it in hand until you've purchased it.
So I'm completely on the side of this man and his story. This is still the USA and we are protected from unlawful search and seizure.
Well he didn't actually do anything suspicious except not show his receipt to the man at the door. But what does that say about our society if we have to just shut up and obey every lame rule that comes our way?
I would guess that the majority of US citizens aren't shoplifters, but we have to kowtow to the shop owner because of the few who are. Why? Doesn't that just piss you off a little?

Redirected from Skycity of Bhujerba
this wiki
|Cid: Oh, shut up and help me remodel the Bhujerba page!
|Please expand this article into a full one. This can be done by Adding a Locations section, with images and brief descriptions of the areas within the location. This request can be discussed on the associated discussion page.
Many visitors come to Bhujerba to enjoy the open-air parks with spectacular views only available to those who live in the sky. Very rarely does anyone fall from the skycity, and curiously enough, not a single death has been reported to have resulted from such an occurrence to date.
The Skycity of Bhujerba (空中都市ビュエルバ, Kūchū Toshi Byueruba?) is a location in the land of Ivalice in Final Fantasy XII. A floating city, it tries to maintain neutrality at all times, but recent events have forced its residents to ally with the Archadian Empire.
Bhujerba is located in the Sky Continent of Dorstonis, above the Naldoan Sea. A floating city-state, Bhujerba thrives on the export of magicite mined in the nearby Lhusu Mines. Originally founded by moogles, who were the first pioneers of airship travel, Bhujerba became an airship docking port and expeditions discovered more magicite mines, increasing Bhujerba's revenue.
During the age of the Galtean Alliance, House Ondore took over the administration and initiated a system to control the magicite mining activities; by closing exhausted mines to let the magicite recover and opening new mines elsewhere. This guarantees continuous production of magicite. It is rumored that should the magicite supply be exhausted, Bhujerba and the rest of the Sky Continent would descend to the surface; these rumors are yet to be proven true.
Ruled by Marquis Halim Ondore IV, Bhujerba tries to maintain its neutrality. It was the mediator between Archadia and Dalmasca when they signed the peace treaty, but have recently entered into a formal alliance with Archadia, although the Archadians are not supposed to have power over Bhujerba. In reality, though, Bhujerba has allied with the Resistance, in hopes of bringing down the Archadian Empire.
The people of Bhujerba speak with an accent similar to Indian English with many of the terms being words from the Sanskrit language. The most common word is Bhadra, which is a formal address, not unlike the English use of Sir/Madam or Mr/Ms/Mrs. The city guides have the title of Parijanah, which fittingly means "guide".
Below is a table of some Bhujerban words:
|Possible Sanskrit etymology
|अम्बा ambā 'mother'
|भद्र bhadra '[someone] gracious/friendly'
|An interjection
|हा hā 'oh!/ah!/alas!' (expressing an outburst of a strong/sudden feeling)
|हन्त hanta 'look!/here!' or 'oh!/ah!/alas!' (expressing an attention-seeking feeling)
|कः kaḥ 'who' (this is the masculine form, the feminine is का kā)
|कष्टम् kaṣṭam 'alas!/woe!' (expressing a sad/grieving feeling)
|A condescending word
|क्षुद्र kṣudra '[someone] small/vile/despicable'
|A wine beverage
|मधु madhu 'honey' (and by association, anything sweet—including beverages such as mead)
|मूर्खः mūrkhaḥ 'fool'
|The afterlife
|निर्वाणम् nirvāṇam 'extinction [of life]', i.e. 'death' (depending on belief this is the absolute Nothing or reunion with the divine in Heaven)
|परिजनः parijanaḥ 'servant/follower'
|Possibly परिविर् parivir, in accordance to परिवेषः parivēṣaḥ '[something/someone] protecting [by surrounding]' (a bodyguard, for instance)
|राक्षसः rākṣasaḥ 'demon'(any kind of evil being, really)
|सैनिकः sainikaḥ 'soldier'
|स्वागतम् svāgatam 'greeting/welcome'
|ततः tataḥ or तातः tātaḥ 'father'
The party arrive at Bhujerba on Balthier's airship, the Strahl, after learning Ba'Gamnan has kidnapped Penelo and is keeping her hostage in the Lhusu Mines. Walking down Travica Way, they are approached by a youth named Lamont, who—overhearing their discussion of Lhusu—implores they let him join them on their journey. Balthier reluctantly agrees, and they head southwards to the mines.
They learn that they are not the only ones with interests in Lhusu: Judge Ghis and Marquis Ondore are also in the mines, conversing of the secret affair Bhujerba has with Archadia, providing the Draklor Laboratory with magicite. The party make their way to the end of the mines and find Ba'Gamnan, who had already let Penelo go. The party fight him off long enough to make an escape led by Lamont, though they lose sight of the boy in their chase.
Penelo, frightened and lost, stumbles upon the Judge and the Marquis on her way out of the mines. Ghis is furious of having discovered an outsider in the mines full of Empire's secrets, but 'Lamont', who reveals himself as Larsa Solidor of the ruling house of Archadia, comes to her aid as the rest of the party watch on from the shadows.
The party learn Penelo has been taken to Marquis Ondore's mansion, so they come up with a plan to get in by spreading rumors that Basch is still alive. In gaining an audience with the Marquis, they find that Penelo, Judge Ghis and the Resistance fighter Amalia have all boarded the Dreadnought Leviathan. Following a silent agreement between Ondore and Basch, the Marquis calls the guard and the group is captured, sending them on-board the imperial airship so they may have a chance to save their friends.
The party escape with Penelo and Ashe and make their way back to Bhujerba to Marquis Ondore's estate. Ashe wants to claim Dalmasca's throne, but cannot do so with no proof of her lineage. She decides to go and seek out the Dawn Shard, but the Marquis does not support her plan. Ashe attempts to steal the Strahl to find the Dawn Shard herself, but is caught by Balthier and Vaan. Ashe convinces Balthier to kidnap her by promising him the treasures within Tomb of Raithwall, and so the party leave Bhujerba for the Jagd Yensa.
Built onto the hilly grounds of western Dorstonis, Bhujerba is made up of narrow, steep roads with high walls that keep out the winds. Interestingly enough, the plazas that give view of the world below do not have any kind of rails, and transportation of goods is mostly done by smaller handcarts.
- Travica Way
The major promenade of Bhujerba, Travika connects the Aerodrome with the Marquis's Estate, Khus Skygrounds, Cloudborne Row and Miner's End. Wider than the normal streets and built with arches in regular distances, it holds the shops Rithil's Protectives (Armor), Targe's Arms (Weapons) and Mait's Magicks (Magic).
- Khus Skygrounds
A vast sky-view terrace in the west that holds the Item Shop. The moogle Pilika can be found here.
- Cloudborne Row
Cloudborne Row is a set of somewhat narrow backstreets that form a residential area to the northeast, surrounded by somewhat lower walls and forest, and home to the local tavern, the Cloudborne.
- Miners' End
Made up of streets even more narrow than Cloudborne Row, this area are the living quarters of a majority of Bhujerba's magicite miners. Bashketi's Gambits and Clio's Technicks offer Gambits and Technicks for purchase respectively.
- Kaff Terrace
Lying to the far east of the city, this sky-view plaza is lying lower than its western counterpart.
- Lhusu Square
The lowest area in Bhujerba, the entrance to the Lhusu Mines is a long and complex staircase, overshadowed by dark rock. It is a favored meeting place for miners, who often buy healing supplies before going to work.
- Aerodrome
The Bhujerba Aerodrome is one of if not even the oldest building in Bhujerba, and sits to the west.
- Marquis Ondore's Estate
A vast mansion and housing complex to the north of the skycity, the estate of the ruling family of Bhujerba is built onto the tallest, forested hill of the same, overlooking the city. While the smaller outbuildings house the personnel and the Marquis's council, the inner residence sits on the very top of the hill, in between a series of five massive magicite crystal wings that give the feeling of having burst in an explosion and then frozen over; they are meant to symbolize the great prosperity of Bhujerba.[1]
Spreading rumorsEdit
After escaping the Lhusu Mines the party will try to attract the Marquis's attention by spreading rumors around town that the Marquis has been lying about Basch's execution. The player must roam around town and press near NPCs to spread the word and fill a gauge. The more people hear the word, the faster the gauge is built. Shops are usually the best spots to do this, as well as near the city Parijanas. However, spreading the word within earshot of a Bhujerban Sainikah will cause the gauge to deplete drastically.
The Nidhogg is the fifth mark to be listed in the Clan Primer and arguably the toughest Rank I Mark. The hunt becomes available after Vaan has masqueraded as Basch in Bhujerba, and the party has been given permission to enter Marquis Ondore's estate. Nidhogg is found in the Transitway 1 area of the Lhusu Mines, and the petitioner is conveniently located right at the mines' entrance.
Diabolos is a Rank VII Mark found in the Site 11 area of the Lhusu Mines. The hunt becomes available after the events in Giruvegan. The hunt is petitioned by Miclio in Bhujerba.
Rocktoise is an Elite Mark whose hunt can be undertaken after the player returns to Rabanastre after escaping from Barheim Passage. Rocktoise was originally a small pet named Carbo, owned by a moogle named Pilika who works in the moogle-operated Technick shop. Pilika had also kept a snake named Bianca, which still lingers within the shop. Rocktoise is hunted in the Lhusu Mines.
The Antlion is an Elite Mark whose hunt becomes available upon reaching Mt Bur-Omisace, so if the player wishes to fight it with Larsa in the party, they should return to Rabanastre upon reaching the mountain to accept the hunt, because Larsa will leave the party if the player proceeds further in the story. Antlion can be found in the Site 9 area of the Lhusu Mines and is petitioned by Niray in Staras Residence.
Pilika's errandEdit
The moogle Pilika will ask Vaan to retrieve her diary from her workplace if spoken to again, after finishing the hunt for Rocktoise. The player must go to the technick shop and will be given the choice to read the diary once it it found. The player must return to Pilika and give her the diary, and she will ask if Vaan read it. The player must answer "I've done nothing" to get a Shepard's Bolero. If the player answered "Read it" she will give a Kilimweave Shirt, an inferior reward.
Bhujerban MadhuEdit
After acquiring the Dawn Shard the player can revisit Bhujerba and hear about a famous liquor called Bhujerban Madhu. The player can earn 1000 gil per bottle by selling to the right buyers. The bottles are located all over Bhujerba and there's guaranteed to be a buyer in the same area a bottle is found. The player doesn't have to sell only one bottle to a buyer—they'll pay the same price for each bottle they can get.
- Bottle: On some luggage in the waiting area.
- Buyer: Man sitting on rail directly across from the bottle.
- Bottle: Cabinet near the clerk's counter.

- Buyer: Woman leaning on the rail across from the street vendor.
- Bottle: The street next to Street Kid at the southeast end.
- Buyer: Guy leaning on the wall across from the Magick Shop.
- Bottle: With other bottles on a table.
- Buyer: Bhujerban Guru next to the table with bottles.
- Bottle: Between the dressers to the right of the entrance.
- Buyer: Niray, in the middle of her home (only after completing the Antlion hunt).

- Buyer: Man talking to passed out bangaa in front of Cloudborne entrances
- Bottle: Table closest to the bar.
- Buyer: Magu, the seeq sitting in alcove between the exits.
- Bottle: On the edge of the pool before entrance to the mines.
- Buyer: Miner sitting next to the seeq street vendor.
- Bottle: Bookshelf in the upper floor.
- Buyer: Seeq shop clerk on the same floor.

- Bottle: Next to the seeq sitting near the top of the stairs.
- Buyer: Woman north of the stairs, standing at the edge.
- Bottle: Box between the counter and the stairs.
- Buyer: Shop clerk standing in the middle of the shop.

Musical themesEdit
|"The Skycity of Bhujerba" from Final Fantasy XII
|Trouble with the audio sample?
The music in Bhujerba is the eponymous track "The Skycity of Bhujerba". A piano arrangement of the theme is included on the Piano Collections: Final Fantasy XII album.
Other appearancesEdit
Final Fantasy Airborne BrigadeEdit
Itadaki StreetEdit
The Skycity of Bhujerba appears in Itadaki Street Portable as an area. The Strahl can be seen in the background.
The Skycity of Bhujerba returns in Itadaki Street Mobile as a stage.
- Sage Knowledge states that Clan Diatroma is located here.
- In Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift, the player can learn the job Parivir. It is also mentioned Parivirs came from western part of Ivalice.
- Miclio, the petitioner for the Diabolos Hunt, can be seen with another hat-wearing child running around Bhujerba before the hunt becomes available. After Diabolos is defeated he explains that children in Bhujerba no longer wear hats because of the stories about Diabolos, confirming the two children around the skycity are ghosts.
- Since the Japanese text for Final Fantasy XII lacked specific accents, the localizers had to derive them from the Ivalician mannerisms and culture. To avoid stereotypical Indian accents for Bhujerba, a Sri Lankan accent was chosen.[2] The written language in Bhujerba is flavored with borrowings from Sanskrit in the way that Indian speakers of English retain words from Hindi to realistically portray Bhujerba as a nation colonized by the empire.[3]

Effects of aspirin on psychophysical measures of frequency selectivity, two-tone suppression, and growth of masking106(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.427146View Description Hide Description
Three psychophysicalmeasures of nonlinearity were evaluated before and during a course of aspirin ingestion to investigate the role of outer hair cells (OHCs) in these measures, as aspirin is thought to alter the functioning of OHCs. Six normal-hearing individuals received a moderate dose (3.9 g/day) of aspirin for four days, producing essentially flat, temporary hearing losses that ranged from 5–20 dB. The losses were about 2 dB greater for a 300-ms signal than for a 15-ms signal, indicating reduced temporal integration with aspirin. On the final three days of aspirin use, three experiments were completed; each was designed to measure one aspect of nonlinear behavior: (1) the effects of level on frequency selectivity in simultaneous masking using notched-noise maskers, (2) two-tone suppression using forward maskers at the signal frequency and suppressor tones above and (3) growth-of-masking functions in forward masking using a masking tone below Signal frequencies of 750 and 3000 Hz were used to evaluate the effects of aspirin at relatively low- and high-frequency regions of the cochlea. In experiment 1, aspirin broadened the auditory filters and reduced the effect of level on frequency selectivity. In experiment 2, aspirin reduced or eliminated two-tone suppression. And, in experiment 3, aspirin reduced the slopes of the growth-of-masking functions. Thus, the aspirin was effective in reducing nonlinearity in all three experiments, suggesting that these measures reflect the same (or a similar) active, nonlinear mechanism, namely the compressive nonlinearity provided by the OHCs. In all experiments, aspirin tended to have larger detrimental effects on the nonlinear measures at 3000 Hz than at 750 Hz, which can be explained in terms of greater involvement of nonlinear processing at higher frequencies. Finally, these effects of aspirin were found to be similar to those observed in preliminary measurements in two subjects with mild, permanent hearing loss.
Evaluation of spectral enhancement in hearing aids, combined with phonemic compression106(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.428055View Description Hide Description
In this study, the separate and combined effects on speech perception of compensation of the reduced dynamic range by compression and compensation of the reduced frequency resolution by spectral enhancement is investigated. The study has been designed to compare the effects of signal processing on monosyllabic consonant–vowel–consonant words for hearing-impaired listeners in conditions of quiet, fluctuating noise, and continuous noise. Speech perception of spectrally enhanced speech was compared with unprocessed speech. In addition, a comparison was made between combinations of spectrally enhanced speech and two types of phonemic compression. In the past, the definition "syllabic compressor" is often used to indicate fast compressors. However, the time constants of the fast compressors used in this study are so short that syllabic has become an inappropriate term. Moreover, intelligibility tests were performed in which scores were acquired of monosyllabic words, and their constituent "phonemic" parts. Therefore, the definitions "phoneme" and phonemic will be used throughout this paper. In one condition, spectral enhancement produced significant improvements for vowel perception. But, this was counteracted by deterioration of the consonant scores for all but one subject. In general, the best overall scores for consonant–vowel–consonant words were obtained in the unprocessed condition. After the spectral enhancement, a single-channel phonemic compressor added no improvement. There are indications that a multichannel phonemic compressor and spectral enhancement have opposite effects, because the scores for this combination are, in general, the lowest.
Auditory localization of nearby sources. Head-related transfer functions106(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.427180View Description Hide Description
Although researchers have long recognized the unique properties of the head-related transfer function (HRTF) for nearby sources (within 1 m of the listener's head), virtually all of the HRTF measurements described in the literature have focused on source locations 1 m or farther from the listener. In this study, HRTFs for sources at distances from 0.12 to 1 m were calculated using a rigid-sphere model of the head and measured using a Knowles Electronic Manikin for Acoustic Research (KEMAR) and an acoustic point source. Both the calculations and the measurements indicate that the interaural level difference (ILD) increases substantially for lateral sources as distance decreases below 1 m, even at low frequencies where the ILD is small for distant sources. In contrast, the interaural time delay (ITD) is roughly independent of distance even when the source is close. The KEMAR measurements indicate that the direction of the source relative to the outer ear plays an important role in determining the high-frequency response of the HRTF in the horizontal plane. However, the elevation-dependent characteristics of the HRTFs are not strongly dependent on distance, and the contribution of the pinna to the HRTF is independent of distance beyond a few centimeters from the ear. Overall, the results suggest that binaural cues play an important role in auditory distance perception for nearby sources.
Individual differences in external-ear transfer functions reduced by scaling in frequency106(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.427176View Description Hide Description
This study examined inter-subject differences in the transfer functions from the free field to the human ear canal, which are commonly know as head-related transfer functions. The directional components of such transfer functions are referred here to as directional transfer functions (DTFs). The DTFs of 45 subjects varied systematically among subjects in regard to the frequencies of spectral features such as peaks and notches. Inter-subject spectral differences in DTFs were quantified between 3.7 and 12.9 kHz for sound-source directions throughout the coordinate sphere. For each pair of subjects, an optimal frequency scale factor aligned spectral features between subjects and, thus, minimized inter-subject spectral differences. Frequency scaling of DTFs reduced spectral differences by a median value of 15.5% across all pairs of subjects and by more than half in 9.5% of subject pairs. Optimal scale factors showed a median value of 1.061 and a maximum of 1.38. The optimal scale factor between any pair of subjects correlated highly with the ratios of subjects' maximum interaural delays, sizes of their external ears, and widths of their heads.
Virtual localization improved by scaling nonindividualized external-ear transfer functions in frequency106(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.427147View Description Hide Description
This study examined virtual sound localization in three conditions that differed according to the directional transfer functions (DTFs) that were used to synthesize the virtual targets. The own-ear and other-ear conditions used DTFs measured from listeners' own ears and those measured from other subjects, respectively. The scaled-ear condition employed other-ear DTFs that were scaled in frequency to minimize the mismatch between spectral features in the listener's and the other subject's DTFs. All measures of localization error typically were lowest in the own-ear condition. In other-ear conditions, all error measures tended to increase in proportion to the inter-subject differences in DTFs. When spectral features in an other-ear set of DTFs fell systematically lower in frequency than in a listener's own DTFs, low frontal targets typically were reported as low in the rear, and high rear targets were reported as high in front. When spectral features in a set of DTFs fell systematically higher in frequency than in a listener's own DTFs, elevation judgements showed an upward bias. In the scaled-ear condition, all measures of performance tended to improve relative to the other-ear condition. In the majority of cases, frequency scaling more than halved the penalty for use of another subject's DTFs.

Caroline Howard has utilized her many years of dance training to lead this year's Rye High School cheerleading team. Howard, a senior, is now participating on the varsity squad for her fourth year and second year as a team captain.
The team starts practices during the summer and does more than just cheer at football games; they perform various dance routines and execute stunts. Howard plays the role of flyer on the stunt team. She also helps choreograph the dance routines.
Coach Melissa Pellettieri is very proud of her four year veteran. "Caroline is a dedicated cheerleader who not only prepares our halftime performances and makes sure that her teammates know the routines," the coach said, "she also organizes and implements various community service projects for the team."
One of the projects that the team has been heavily involved in is breast cancer awareness, which they have incorporated onto their uniforms. Howard and the team have also volunteered with Soul Ryeders and the Tie the Town Pink campaign by hanging pink ribbons around Rye.
Her teammates also appreciate the effort that Caroline puts in.
"Caroline has such a passion for cheerleading" fellow senior Ali Cardino said. "She is always the girl with the biggest smile because she really loves helping the team get better."
Caroline not only hits her marks during the dances but also in the classroom. She is on the High Honor Roll and was recently inducted into the National Honor Society.

The front page claimed "card will be charged when you click CONFIRM CHECKOUT" whereas the button on the front page read "PROCESS ORDER". This gives the consumer, me, the impression I will be taken to a checkout page where I can confirm or deny my order. Instead, when clicked, I am given ad after ad about add-on products to my order. I never reach a checkout page, but instead a confirmation page on my order.
Later, a confirmation email is sent to me. For an order of FOUR (4) orders of product I had not wanted, and for a price I wasn't expecting. I called my bank immediately and put a stop to the payment so it wouldn't process. The stop was put on both the product "Magic Tap" for the amount in which the confirmation email stated they charged ($125.19).
The website did not offer any way to immediately view my "order", cancel my "order", or anyone I could contact. Neither did the confirmation email. Two days after I put the stop payment on the order, I have a different amount deducted from my account ($122.23) from an unknown name ("IDEASTREAM CONSCLEVELAND").
Unknowning as to where this charge came from, I filed a claim against it as a fraudulent charge with my bank. I then decide to go back to BuyMagicTap.com to "Track Order" with my order number from the confirmation email I had received (since I can only access the order from their site AFTER it ships).
Sure enough, the amount on the shipping statement shows the total charge as $122.23 rather than $125.19 like the email confirmation, and has no additional information on the order, the status, or anyone I can get ahole of.

The Utah State Aggies have accepted an invitation to the 2011 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, the school announced today.
Utah State will face a team from the Mid-America Conference (MAC) on Saturday, Dec. 17, 2011 at Bronco Stadium in Boise, Idaho. The game will be televised by ESPN at 5:30 p.m. ET.
This will be the 7th overall bowl appearance for the Aggies, who are 1-5 in bowl games. Their only win was 42-33 over Ball State in the 1993 Las Vegas Bowl.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for our program. It is a fantastic reward for all of the hard work and dedication that these kids have put in, from all the offseason workouts, to watching film to the practice field. I am so happy for them. Building a football program is a community event and this is a great day for Aggies young and old," USU head coach Gary Andersen said. "We are excited to represent Utah State University, Logan, Utah and Cache Valley at the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. I'm sure we will have a great crowd travel to Boise and Bronco Stadium will be decked with Aggie blue."
2011-12 College Football Bowl Schedule
Congrats aggies, I only wish you'd beaten aurburn to start the year, I greatly dislike the SEC.
Hell yeah! Go get 'em,Utah State! Sack the MAC…

How to Setup Light Carton Packaging business in Nigeria
Carton production in Nigeria is a profitable business one can start.
Cartons are paper box used mainly by production companies to package their products against damages while in storage or in transit.
There two types of cartons used in packaging products; these are heavy and light cartons. But in this article I will focus on how to start the production of light cartons for packaging products in Nigeria.
Light Cartons are containers made out of light paper materials like card board or chip board paper and are mostly used by Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics, Beverage, Distillers, Fast foods and Fruit Drinks producers in Nigeria.
Small, medium and large scale production companies in Nigeria spend huge amount of cash annually just to see that their products are well packaged in nice and attractive cartons. Reason is that apart from the use of cartons in protecting products from being damaged, it also the easiest way to attract the attention of consumers to buy a product.
To, partake in the sharing of this huge amount of cash, being spent on cartons by production companies in Nigeria. Below are the steps that will enable you to start generating regular income as a manufacturer or supplier of light cartons to manufacturers in the country.
STEP ONE: Register your carton packaging production business with the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria (CAC). E.g. Enterprise or a limited liability company.
STEP TWO: Get your MARKETING TOOLS ready e.g. print some complimentary cards, sign up for an email address, GSM phone number, print a letter headed paper and GET A SIMPLE BUSINESS WEBSITE OR BLOG built for you. Call, 08081632025 if you need one
STEP THREE: Rent an OFFICE OR FACTORY SPACE.
STEP FOUR: Source for STARTUP CAPITAL.
STEP FIVE: Get Dia-cutting PATTERNS (shapes) for different types of light cartons.
Take a particular pattern needed for carton.
Buy some reams of chip board or cardboard paper (depending on the total number of copies of light cartons to supply)
Go to a printer and get the product name and logo and images the company wants to see printed on the carton.
Take the printed chipboard paper to your factory to Die-cut into shape, using a carton Dia-cutting machine. But if you don't have a carton Dia-cutting machine, take the paper to where you can Dia-cut and pay for it.
Then after Dia-cutting, the next stage is to fold and glue the paper together for the carton to take full shape before supplying them to the company that requested for it.
Light carton production business can make you a millionaire but ensure you do a good job because this is the only way that will encourage manufacturers give you regular contract. If you need a complete feasibility studies on Light carton production business setup in Nigeria,feel free to call me on 08081632025.
One Response to How to Setup Light Carton Packaging business in Nigeria
I am interested in the lighter packaging business and would like to have a rough idea as to minimum capital to start one.

Lamborghini files trademark suit vs Vegas business
LAS VEGAS Attorneys for the sports car manufacturer Lamborghini are suing a restaurant and car showroom in a Las Vegas Strip casino for trademark infringement.
The manager of the businesses being sued told the Las Vegas Sun Thursday that he wasn't previously aware of the lawsuit and thought it sounded frivolous.
Lamborghini lawyers who filed the suit Wednesday in U.S. District Court say logos at the entrance of the businesses inside the Palazzo Las Vegas Resort are brazen imitations of the carmaker's logos.
They say the Dal Toro Exotic Car Showroom, Dal Toro Merchandise Gallery and Dal Toro Il Ristorante Italiano are part of a scheme to mislead customers and piggyback on Lamborghini's reputation.

Final Fantasy VIII is always my favorite in the series. However, FFVII is I think too overrated since it was the first of its kind, still love it though. But obviously, FFVIII is more exquisite and the story is amazing. I played this game for 6 months from start to finish and did watch the ending dozens of times. Also the Waltz for the Moon FMV where Squall and Rinoa met for the first time, I think that was the greatest dance number ever made for a game (regardless of Yuna's intro in FFX-2).
Since my FFVIII days, I've always dream about it as a motion picture. Kind of like The Lord of the Rings with a Star Wars twist. War, sorcerers, outer space, love story blended together. And since it was a long game, I pictured it as a box office trilogy as well, bigger than anything else. So to start with this "dream movie" of mine, I need to split the story into three parts, well the game has 4 CDs. The first one I entitled it FFVIII: Hanging Garden.
Of course, an FFVIII movie should be loyal to the game so Balamb Garden is our main target for the story's setting, with an introduction kinda like in the game where Squall and Seifer had a duel and an orchestra in the background music playing Liberi Fatali. Class room humors kinda like a teen movie (though I'm not into it), hey, Balamb Garden is a school. SeeDs sent to battlegrounds like the battle in Dollet, discoveries of Guardian Forces, Galbadia versus Balamb, that'd be cool. Two gardens flying and beating the hell out of each other. And ofcourse the Waltz for the Moon dance, never forget that.
The second part would be different, just to keep that trilogy movie essence going. FFVIII: Enchantment from Beyond. The story would be their dreams if you guys can still remember (duh!) that Ellone manifested. Enter Laguna, Kiros and Ward. The three brave Galbadian soldiers. This should cover all their adventures, also when Laguna quits the army to be a journalist, with an addition of a love triangle between Laguna, Raine and Julia. I know it was not in the game but, you saw him flirting with Julia and then he met this lady in the bar named Raine, what the hell! This movie should also show how Raine died.
The third and last installment would always be the main event. FFVIII: Leaning Fate. The end of days, the war of wars. From the Lunatic Pandora to the castle of Ultimecia. See the Ragnarok and their attempt to enter the Lunatic Pandora. Also watch them battle the big bad witch and save their beloved Rinoa and Edea from the dark side.
These dream movies won't be complete without the casts. So here's my own dream cast for my own FFVIII Trilogy. Leonardo Dicaprio would make a good Squall Leonhart. I'm not a fan of Smallville but I think Kristin Kreuk is cute and she'd be my Rinoa Heartilly. Matt Damon as Zell Dincht, well, he's temperamental so... Halle Berry is my one and only choice for Quistis Trepe. Don't mind to ask why, just try to picture her as your History teacher in high school and you'll know exactly what I'm trying to figure out here. Eminem as Seifer Almasy, blonde bad-ass look, Gilmore Girl Alexis Bledel as Selphie Tilmitt, Chad Michael Murray as Irvine Kinneas, Rachel Leigh Cook as, perhaps one of the most important characters in FFVIII, Ellone. The first time I saw the ending movie and saw Ellone's CG model, I saw Rachel Leigh Cook. Robin Williams as Headmaster Cid Kramer and Monica Bellucci as Edea. The cast of Enchantment from Beyond would be Johhny Depp as Laguna Loire, Orlando Bloom as Kiros Seagill, Michael Clarke Duncan as Ward Zabac, Marisa Tomei as Raine Loire and Kate Beckinsale as Julia Heartilly.
So there you have it. My own FFVIII Trilogy, coming in your dreams real soon!

First off, let me tell you that I'm not very technical. I'm an Admin at our site because I came up with the idea. You can explain a proccess and I'll understand it. You can explain CODE and I won't.
Thanks for making it this far.
We have had problems with our " Fredrik Fahlstad. Version: 1.7.4" forums and had to start with a new forum- "RS Discuss 0.5.2".
Both of these currently reside on our site.
As I see it the "RS Discuss 0.5.2" doesn't have an import option. Others, on their support page, have asked this question but ofcourse there has been no reply.
Is there any way to import the posts from the old into the new? Or a way to get the new to read the files in the old as well as it's own?
Thanks in advance.

French soloist violin after J.B. Vuillaume
With a warm, sweet and extremely multi-facetted sound that is strong and dominant, this French master violin is a fine selection for professional musicians. It was made by an unknown master in the mid-19th century. The luminously brilliant varnish of an unusually lovely golden orange-brown is a stylish complement to the aesthetic of the tone woods the craftsman selected. The strongly falling lines of the elegant flames on the one-piece maple back convey a confident individuality as articulately as the expressive carving of the scroll, whose edges were blackened in the typically French style. Much like the minor repairs and touch-ups, the care with which the peg holes were bushed is an eloquent testimony to the appreciation that musicians have shown this intensely-played historic violin in the course of its approximately 150 years. This fine violin, which we received in flawless condition, has been meticulously set up by our experienced luthiers and is ready to play. It has been used by a concert master and has earned our best recommendation.
A certificate of appraisal can be ordered for this violin.
