Branding for sock puppets
May 24, 2010, 03:48:43 pm »
First I would like to say thank you to all of Puppets and Stuff for the warm welcoming.
My Story:
I recently started a sock puppet blog called
for a school project at California State University East Bay. The project is for students to get familiar with blogging and social networking. But anyways, I chose to blog about sock puppets, however, I have no experience with the puppet community or industry. Working with the sock puppets has actually been very fun and I think I would like to keep the blog going outside of class.
I was wondering if you could suggest any websites, facebooks, twitters, I should associate myself with in order to get the word out.

Will you be using different story lines for the puppets, or basically what you are doing with them now. You might want to consider Blogtv
and start a live broadcast show perhaps interviewing people around town on different topics of interest. Once you get established you just link to others websites. I think you are off to a good start just change things a bit.
Sock version of the show "Dirty Jobs" or something along that line.......... or a talk show.

You can try the other puppet community:
. Surprisingly enough, there's not a lot of crossover between who's on there and who's on here.

Well facebook and twitter two excellent choices.
Both Billie's and Na's suggestions are very good also depending on the direction you want to move with this. The important thing is if you are going to connect up with these other sites, is to stay active on them.

Shawn is right about staying active.......................... I use to be more active. My goal was to be on page one when I searched "SS Puppets" Na keeps very active updating her website and keeping involved in different areas of puppetry. You can pretty much do a search for most anything puppet related and you will see her website.
If you stat active the Bots will pick up on it.

Whilst this is true, it doesn't work for quite like what you explain. The reason my site comes up in most puppet-related searches is because I post content designed for that search: ie. someone searches for free patterns, I post stuff on freebies. I tailor my content to suit the search. Getting visible on searches is quite easy if you're posting 'generic' stuff, but for the most part, an individual's blog isn't generic, but rather personal. It's probably better in this particular case to try to make connections (and a personable and interesting style of writing that people can connect with) amongst interested puppeteers or theatrically-minded people.
I can guarantee you most of my site traffic are drive-by viewers who never come back again. A blog on the other hand should develop a following, people who are interested in the story of your antics/life. Behind-the-scenes stories, explanations of how you did things, photos, etc. are what most people are interested in reading and will be what they come back for.

Na is correct. While it is true that links to your site on other sites can help you some in search engines the content is really the important thing. Keeping that content fresh and new is also important. Not only does it create a following that well come back and visit again search engines like "active" sites.

Enron: 10 Years Later
Enron. Similar to "Black Tuesday," "Watergate" or "9/11," the term has encapsulated a series of events into a single word or phrase. It is arguably the most well-known, and most scrutinized, financial collapse in U.S. history. This is evidenced by the multitude of books and movies that have rehashed and … [Continue Reading]

I've always wanted a circular home.xml menu, but was too lazy to code it.
Well I was bored out of my mind at work, so I did it.
Here is the code, hopefully it saves someone some time (it took me about 4 hours(mostly to type )).
Also included is the code for includes.xml the code in there is all the animation, so its easy to change the way it moves without having to change all 100 control calls. BTW I didn't spend a lot of time to get the animation exact (the way center=? works completely escapes me), so if someone is up to the task it's only about 40 numbers in the includes.xml code, please repost it if you do.
Here is the link for the home.xml
Here is the link for the text to add to the includes.xml
Use the <description> tags to make sense of the includes not the name.
The picture files are easy to figure out.

If you do try it out, make note of the fact the weather icon is coded to be dynamic (it downloads the correct icon for the current weather), so if you don't have you xbox connected to the internet it will not show up.
To save some time, here are the names of the graphics. Background.PNG (mine was two colors black & dark grey) File-manager-ICON.PNG Music-icon.PNG Pictures-ICON.PNG Power-ICON.PNG Programs-ICON.PNG Scripts-ICON.PNG Settings-ICON.PNG Thumb_Mask2.png (it's a diffused fading reflection mask) Video-ICON.png Weather-ICON.PNG (it's commented out, due to it being dynamic "Weather.Condition") WebBrowser-ICON.PNG (for the PIMPed and Deff builds with links included) All the icons were 175x175 except the thumb mask 64x64, but any size up to 256x256 should be fine since it wil be resized anyway, but too big will slow it down a lot. |

Except xTV isn't 2300+ lines long, or in a circle. But you are right, it is similar, but both ideas came from the old XbMac2.1b2R skin (props to Jacksor and b-wox). I also coded it so it could be modified easily from the includes.xml, that way if someone wanted to make it a full circle, or an almost flat ellipse, they wouldn't need to change every one of the 2300 lines in the home.xml only the 40 in the includes.xml. Also xTV has 3 icons, mine goes to 11, er I mean 10.
BTW, I wrote it for 16x9, use the includes.xml to fix aspect ratio for 4x3. And if you want to split hairs, EVERY skin that uses reflections looks like my code for "Big Screen/Verve" since I was the first to figure out that an unsigned float would accept a negative number and display the icon upside-down. Now it's just flippy=true (thanx Jmarshal). |

Comments about Shimano Saragosa Reels:
I bought the Shimano Saragosa Reels SRG6000F for fishing stripers here in Mass, but I also use it for surf casting when I go visit family in Maryland, just with a surf rod instead of my regular spinning rod. It's a little heavy for my spinning rod for what I do but in using it for both it's perfect!

All right so when I solve this I decide -- -- -- sheet oatmeal in the.
That's not bad spot Babylon is actually good but what about BA while this is observational study meaning that I don't want people to think that if they are actually having egg -- They're going to die or have a heart attack the cardiologist from London.

The Margarita At Pine Creek
Online Reservations
Warren Fitch recommended the Margarita at Pine Creek. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the wonderfully courteous nature of the staff. I will be back for sure.
Another great lunch! The menu rotates, so there is never a dull meal. The food quality remains high regardless of the menu selected; great kitchen and service staff.
On this particular occasion, we enjoyed live music in the downstairs lounge and sampled several of the small plates. The phyllo-wrapped shrimp and the crab & spinach dip were excellent and the Sesame Chicken Salad was a treat - fresh, well-prepared and tasty! I rated the "noise" as "energetic" as the live music and the capacity crowd in the lounge fostered a happy environment and a great time was certainly had by all. We've traveled and lived all over the United States and beyond, and we've discovered precious few places with such a good "vibe" as The Margarita at Pine Creek. We're looking forward to our next visit!
This long treasured restaurant remains a favorite. The staff is enthusiastic about the food they serve which is both natural and delicious. The facility has an ambience making every room a private dining experience.
We were very surprised to find such a gem on the north end of town. I can't wait to take more friends and family. We loved the eclectic vibe and the excellent food and service.
The food was delicious and a great deal at $39 for a five course prix fixe meal. The interior and exterior are old but clean. We haven't been in a few years but after this visit will be going more often.
On Saturday evening, they had an oboe, flute and piano trio playing. They didn't play constantly, so it was neat to hear the music, and then have no trouble at all conversing. Great evening.
The Margarita always meets my expectations. The food and service were wonderful, as usual.
I had not been to the Margarita at Pine Creek for several years and found it just as charming as I remembered. Their food is excellent; however, I do believe they need to expand their options of vegetarian and gluten-free offerings. I do not eat meat or gluten, so the options for me consisted of their salad and broccoli soup (which I assumed was vegetarian). On their Web site they indicate that if you have "dietary restrictions" you can call ahead and they will accommodate those. Unfortunately, I was unaware of that so was stuck with soup and salad. They were delicious, but I would love to see more options as many of the good, local restaurants are offering. Their dinner menu may offer more variety, so I'll try them for dinner.
The name doesn't mean what you think it does. I was expecting upscale mexican--what I got was locally sourced and fresh ingredients in a wide variety of american and fusion dishes. This restaurant delongs in a big cosmopolitan city, and Colorado Springs is lucky to have had it for almost 40 years. Our server was one of the best I've ever had while not being too stuffy or formal--she knew exactly how and when to enter our conversation and could not have done a better job. Even the quirky court musicians in the center of the room were interesting without being overbearing. And finally, after eating what I though was rich food, my sensitive stomach didn't pause a moment-- the mark of truly good food.
Not only is the food better and unique compared to anything else in COS, it is a great place either for a business lunch or dinner, or a date night. Love them.
Can't say enough about the service! One of our group had special needs and the chef came out to make sure all was okay. The owner, Patty, made sure our friend was accommodated, also. I have always loved The Margarita, but after this experience it truly is my favorite restaurant. The food is always excellent, the location beautiful, and the ambience is lovely yet so comfortable. What a treasure!
For our tenth anniversary, I was looking for a place that was fairly romantic with live music. When we got there, they had booked up a table both inside and out on the patio, and let us choose our preference. My husband and I got the tomato basil soup, which was wonderful. We also both ordered the steak with mushrooms and mashed potatoes, and had berries and creme for dessert. It was all to die for. You could tell it was homemade, and not pre-processed. We ate on the patio where there was a live bluegrass band. The weather was wonderful, the patio super comfortable, and the ambiance was just so laid back. Trees blocked the view to the neighboring businesses, so there is a sense of privacy and nature. I loved it, and will definitely go back!
We have known this restaurant since late 1970s and while we sometimes forget the place, it never disapoints. Summer on the deck for brunch is great and Saturday's farm market in the background makes for a perfect morning.
I made a reservation for brunch on Father's Day based on the good reviews on Open Table, not realizing I'd seen the entrance to this place a zillion times going down I25 - and never even considered going there. Turns out, this was a GREAT choice. We ate outside; patio is lovely, with a view of the mountains. Be aware, they have a German Shepherd who helps seats diners. He's a very sweet dog, doesn't annoy - but if you are afraid of shepherds, plan to eat inside. Drinks were very good - I had the mimosa, husband had the bellini. I ate the Avocado, Scallion, Tomato & Goat Cheese Frittata and my husband had Eggs Benedict. Both were excellent, and the portions were just right, neither huge nor skimpy. We will definitely go back.
I dined here for Sunday brunch. Our reservation was 10:30. It started to get busy, but still a calm and quiet scene. We sat on the back patio with plenty of shade. The complimentary fruit and coffee cake were delicious! The waiter was great with his timing and very polite. I ordered the Benedict Cubano. The peppers added something different and worked really well with the sauce. My friend ordered a frittata the size of her large plate! My husband ordered the enchiladas w/egg. Although he said too much refried beans, he still cleaned his plate. We loved having the German shepherd seat us. Children were petting the dog and he was very friendly. Overall a great atmosphere, tucked away yet easy to find, good food with some unique brunch items.
The Margarita provides a very unique combination I have yet to find anywhere else. Excellent 5 star cuisine prepared beautifully at a reasonable price for what you receive all in an atmosphere that is casual and relaxed. Pretty much any apparel is acceptable here, from jeans to suits. The staff is friendly and unpretentious, which is unusual in a restaurant that serves exquisite meals. The decor is a bit funky, but that is definitely part of the charm. Weekend dining in the main restaurant is accompanied by baroque music performed by local musicians. The wine list provides a very nice selection and the margaritas are truly excellent. This is my favorite fine dining restaurant!
We had a wonderful experience at Margarita Pine Creek! The food was wonderful and the waiter was attentive and knowledgeable. The dining areas, both inside and out, are beautiful and quiet without feeling stuffy or smug. What a GEM!
When in Colorado Springs...take the time to search out this gem!
Myself and four other co-workers celebrated our birthdays at Margarita at Pine Creek with lunch. The food was great, and we all enjoyed our time and food. Lots of flavor for the food, and the view of Pikes Peak is nice. The service was a bit slow the day we were there. For lunch that was not so good as we had to get back to work. But we got a lot of food for the price! :)
Had not been to the Margarita in more than 30 years, yet found it to be still an intriguing place. The menu was contemporary and the food was presented with an eye to current style. Our waitperson was friendly, professional, and attentative. We hope to come back before another thirty years passes!
Margarita At Pine Creek is in my opinion the best value - the quality of food is consistently good. A place we return year after year for superb meals.
We went for our wedding anniversary - food was very good, music was pleasing and the service was friendl. Great setting - especially outside.
This restaurant offers a fixed menu of either three items or five items for a fixed price. It also offers wine pairings of either two or three wines depending on the number of courses you order for a fixed price. The concept is a very common European offering. All the courses that we ordered were very well-prepared and tasty and the waiter was very knowledgeable about both the menu and and the wine list. All in all, a beautiful, comfortable setting with great food and great service. jmd
My wife and I love the Margarita at Pine Creek, the food is always excellent, and there are a lot of different places to sit each with their own ambiance. We love the back patio at dusk, it is very romantic. We are trying to make this our place for our wedding anniversaries. This restaurant has great service and the best food in Colorado Springs. The only down side might be the bar gets a little busy, but they compensated us for our drinks, due to an unusual wait time.
The table was ready when we arrive. The wait staff were prompt but did not huver. The food was exceptional. great anniversay! celebration.
The food was excellent...cooked to perfection and fit for a gourmand! We had the Salmon...which was so deliciously perfect! Kudos to the chef! Unfortunately, I have to say that the waiter, although attentive, did not understand that one of our party was lactose intolerant, although we kept telling him. He kept giving that person the wrong dishes with dairy products! Apparently, he didn't think it was that important?
Beautiful outdoor patio with an intimate feel and absolutely delicious food from the fresh baked bread to the succulent fresh fish and locally grown vegetables. Fantastic meal and "experience!"
The food was very well prepared and we had unusual choices, which is one of the things they are known for. Really enjoyed the choices they prepared that night and loved that they paired with wine with the meal for you.
We moaved from Colorado Springs almost 30 years ago and we glad to see the food and experience was still special. Wonderful baroque music, ever changing menu that is out of the ordinary, out of the way location. Special evening with a special lady.
As always, the Margarita was fantastic. The food and service were great. One is never hurried when there. The friend who joined me and I could have spent the entire afternoon visiting, and no one would have cared. it's just a wonderful place.
Wonderful brunch in a lovely setting. The delicious coffee cake and fruit to start was a nice surprise. My husband who has eaten at some of the top restaurants all over the southwest said the "Huevos Rancheros" was the best he had ever eaten! Kept trying to figure out how they prepared the eggs so light and perfect! So that is a huge compliment! We went back and told all our friends how good it was and will definitely return on our next trip to Colorado Springs!
Really enjoy dining here. The food is always very good with seasonal changes and several choices in each category. The menu is set-you can have a 3 or 5 course dining experience. Wines can also be paired with the food. We always have the 3 course and share so we can taste most options. The have wonderful vegetarian options too!
Wish I had known about it earlier. The food was fantastic, and the paired wines went well with the courses. They have live music about half the week, which makes the place more enjoyable for me.
Food very good, well-prepared, depth of flavors. Service was right on. Nice ambiance (except that grounds could use a bit of TLC though the restaurant itself is interesting and tables private).

Stunning shot, very commercial too, could see this hanging on a lot of walls!
Stunner Jeremy..just gave my award, else this would have had it!!
Elemental describes this perfectly. Excellent expanse of beach and shapes, and the moody skies gives some wonderful complementary colours.
Minimal content maximum impact. Love it Jeremy.
The Elements
MAN is permitted much
To scan and learn
In Natures frame;
Till he well-nigh can tame
Brute mischiefs, and can touch
Invisible things, and turn
All warring ills to purposes of good.
Thus, as a god below,
He can control,
And harmonize, what seems amiss to flow
As severd from the whole
And dimly understood.
But oer the elements
One Hand alone,
One Hand has sway.
What influence day by day
In straiter belt prevents
The impious Ocean, thrown
Alternate oer the ever-sounding shore?
Or who has eye to trace
How the Plague came?
Forerun the doublings of the Tempests race?
Or the Airs weight and flame
On a set scale explore?
Thus God has willd
That man, when fully skilld,
Still gropes in twilight dim;
Encompassd all his hours
By fearfullest powers
Inflexible to him.
That so he may discern
His feebleness,
And een for earths success
To Him in wisdom turn,
Who holds for us the keys of either home,
Earth and the world to come.
Regards Nathan

Here is a nice chemical-free option for removing the most stuck on stickers. It comes in handy if you'd like to remove a logo sticker from something to give it more clean design. As a bonus, all you need is a hairdryer! The heat from the hairdryer relaxes the heavy duty commercial adhesives that hold on the stickiest of stickers.
What You Need
1. With your hairdryer on its hottest setting, aim at the sticker you'd like to remove and fire away.
2. After 45 seconds of direct heat, test a corner of the sticker and see if it peels away easily. If it doesn't, continue the hairdryer treatment for another 45 seconds or so.
3. Peel off the sticker. For larger stickers, you may need to work in sections. Just peel off the sticker until you feel resistance and then apply more heat to the remaining sticker.
4. Enjoy your sticker-free product!

A look at local Week 1 football matchups
Thursday, August 29th, 2013River View at Danville
If there is one thing Danville can look forward to for the 2013 season, it's that Newark Catholic isn't in its division anymore. The Blue Devils reached the Division VI regionals last season on the strength of Bryce Staats' all-state season, and his graduation leaves a big hole at the quarterback spot. Most of the defensive front is back, led by Andy Payne and Conway Baldridge, so opposing offenses should have trouble moving the ball. A similar trip to the regionals is not out of the question.
River View finished 5-5 overall last season, but tied for first place in conference play with a 3-1 record. Last season, the Black Bears gave up over 27 points per game and scored about 23 points, but had a win over Danville nemesis Bishop Rosecrans (6-3). River View gave up over 40 points in four games last season and scored that many in only two games, of which one was a loss. The Blue Devils defense should give this team difficulty.
Game time is 7 p.m. Friday.
Highland at East Knox
Highland definitely will have experience on its side this season, as 16 lettermen and six starters on either side of the ball will return for 2013. Four returning linemen and backs Kyle Minyo and James Cochran should make the Scots' vaunted running game effective, but Jeremy Gahm is a new signal-caller. With Highland now in the new MOAC Blue Division, which is filled with smaller schools, the Scots should be in line for a division championship.
East Knox faces a much smaller Mid-Buckeye Conference schedule this season, facing old rivals Utica and Centerburg in nonconference action this year. The Bulldogs still have an aggressive linebacking corps with Dylan Wears and Cody Howard, and Colton Rebel led the team in interceptions in the secondary. In addition to linebacker duties, Wears will also look to pull the load at running back, and Howard is an experienced starting quarterback.
The Scots and the Bulldogs kick off the 2013 season at 7 p.m. Friday.
Clear Fork at Fredericktown
Clear Fork is used to adversity as the smallest school in the Ohio Cardinal Conference, but facing Fredericktown after a near 10-year absence still will be a good test. The Colts, traditionally a run-oriented offense, will go to a spread offense this season with the quarterback in the shotgun. They should have good protection up front with a pair of 270-pouhd linemen, but junior QB Kadin Chrastina will have to overcome last year's broken leg to make the offense go.
After two straight playoff appearances, Fredericktown fell to 5-5 last season. This year brings a new league to make things more complicated. The Freddies return three seniors to the offensive and defensive lines, and junior quarterback Austin Hathaway should be better with a year's experience. Those factors should make the receiving corps, led by seniors Sam Armstrong and Chris Hoar, a dangerous combination, and will help take the load off of an inexperienced running game.
Kickoff time is Friday at 7 p.m.

Hello all. I need some advice. I have two proms coming up (wednesday of next week and the saturday of next week, her's is first, mine is second). I have my tux waiting and have my date as well (same lady for both proms), asked her in september as I didnt want to be in the position most of my other buddies are in (dateless), and I like her so I wanted to make sure I could get her before anyone else could (I pondered this for months and she was my top choice). My problem is, I do not dance or feel as if I can dance as I never have danced (I mean properly dancing, have grinded once at a school dance not to long ago, not by my own choice but that was still awkward for me). Grinding doesnt count as dancing to me. Even at family get togethers I dont dance as I'm too shy and feel awkward and nervous. My date on the other hand, I would imagine would probably want to dance a lot as shes very cheery, bright and filled with vibrancy. I want to actually dance with her and am going to try. I'm more comfortable with the idea of slow dancing and am pretty interested in it but dancing to something not slow and simple, on your own irks me. Can anyone share any advice or pointers for me please, as I want to make sure she has a great time at both. As well as myself but mainly her because if she doe's, then il be more than happy. Many thanks.
I'm looking to dance as much as I "can", but I'm sure I'll loosen up after one or two dances and once I get to know her friends after the dinner. I'll be sure to think off all you guy's tips, they've helped a ton.
One word: "Vodka".
Ha I wish.
So I know your prom is over now, and hopefully you were able to bring your A-game and at least get the kiss or the make-out (or maybe a little more!), but if you didn't, that's too bad man, do better next time.
As far as dancing advice, I was once like you - I didn't like grinding. But I'm also a pragmatist, and I was able to see very quickly that grinding has it's benefits. Namely, it allows you to physically escalate with your girl in a really short amount of time. Think about it, you're starting with your hands on her hips, then as you get used to the rhythm you can move in with your body, your chest closing in on her back, your hands exploring slowly her curves, you get the idea. As long as you do it with confidence smoothness like you know what you're doing you can get the kiss in ten minutes flat. Soon enough you two are making out on the dance floor. High-five, my friend.
Since your prom's all over though you might as well go get some dance lessons. If you and your date are a couple now why don't you invite her to take some ballroom dancing lessons with you? Your dancing conundrum will forever be solved.
It's actually not over and hasn't started heh. it starts in 19 hours and 15 mins (and counting). Then I have 3 days till the next one.
The thing with 'grinding' is indeed that you can 'cop a feel' and get to the kiss in ten minutes. Point is that it is a cheap, impersonal kiss. I've got the feeling that Weaver here actually really likes this girl, and seeing as she asked him too, that feeling is most likely mutual. In that case i can only say that it's worth it to wait for a nice, romantic moment. That doesn't mean you have to wait for the door, but it's not the kind of thing you want to do while grinding your bodies to the sound of a speech-impaired rapper shouting 'Yeah' and 'OWHKAY'. Especially since you have a second prom to think about. You have all the time in the world.
Now, before you think i'm the sort of hopeless romantic that has seen to many chick-flicks and doesn't know what he's talking about: i've dallied with enough women to make a big lot of the AoM jealous, and completely appall the other. I've been around the block on that one.
And still: taking ballroom lessons is fun, but it doesn't solve anything in the category 'normal modern dance'. It might make you more confident, but one doesn't simply perform a nice foxtrot while some silly girl with an electronic voice is implying that you should call her maybe.
Have fun Chris! Are we going to see your prom-picture?
Despite his mushy-gushy sounding advice, Dastard does have a point. If you dance like every other guy that loves to jam his crotch into a girl's ass on the dance floor, yes, your kiss will seem cheap. So how do you take advantage of the quick physical escalation that grinding allows and still come off like Don Juan?
At some point tonight turn to your girl and say, "Let's go dance." When you get on the dance floor start off slow. Dance in your own space in front of her, only touching her right above the hip bone for a few seconds on and off. After a minute or two, move a little closer and place both your hands on her hips, letting her gyrate close to your crotch as you face her. Then step back and take your hands off her. Treat dancing like a dance of its own, where you go back and forth to build toward a climax. Make her wonder why you're not constantly on her. After a minute or so of dancing a couple feet away, gradually come back and bring her hips just a little closer than before. Then step back again.
Keep repeating this cycle until both of you are very close and your hands have explored her hips, sides, and lower back. The final non-kissing move is to get your head close to hers where your cheeks are barely touching, you can feel her body heat, and she's not pulling back.
What I just gave you is the same dancing advice I got from a great friend of mine before my senior Military Ball (basically a prom for us military school kids), but I was too much of a chump back then to use it. Since then I've used this method at a few proms, parties and other venues where it's dark and the music is thumping. It's a real game-changer, you'll see.
Also, Dastard says you have all the time in the world to get the kiss, and you do, but don't use that to psyche yourself out when you have the opportunity to go in. The sooner you kiss her, the better, so kiss her tonight. You may think you're moving too fast, but in reality you're probably moving too slow. She agreed to go to two proms with you way back in September, she's probably wondering what's taking you so long to make the move!
Go get her, Casanova.
We would make an extraordinary team Charles! Bravo with little bells on top and all that.....now let's get some beers and see if that uniform can get you any!
Responding to the last two posts-
Well no grinding happened between us (that's not a problem) but we danced. I should say I moved to beats that were possible to move to and did my best which was terrible, but she found it adorable (her choice of wording, I don't refer to myself as adorable), and fun, which I guess is a win. I'll decide if I want to post a pic, I'm not very photogenic. All the attraction in the photo is her.
During a slow dance we got to that close point for about 5 second (what seemed like 5 seconds), but we did not kiss, it was very crowded and I was unsure how she may react. It may happen at mine I suppose, but we'll see. If it doesn't, it doesn't make the experience a bummer as I still got to have a ton of fun with her regardless.

I would like to use this as an input device, for another video software. I can do it with the black magic devices but this one doesn't show up as an input anywhere but in it's own software.

Will the elgato game capture HD work with next generation consoles? i.e. PS4 and Xbox one?
- Asked by Julia W from Tarragindi

AnswerYes, it will work for Xbox One on day one, but Sony has said that they have to release a software update to allow gamecapture through something such as the Elgato for the PS4. Both the Xbox One and PS4 have a built in game capture device, but it will not record for long sessions, only short clips.

Can Elgato Game Capture HD do the same job as Elgato Video Capture?
I would like to record from VCR, Receiver and analog Camera, this option as I know is available with "Elgato Video Capture", my question if I can do the same with Elgato Game Capture HD?

AnswerI already bought the card and I have found out that yes you can do, simply set the software for composite input and link the video cable (yellow) from VCR to the red RCA connector and the audio to the audio, so you have 2 cables free (green & blue).
if you have one audio connector from the VCR (mono), you can use a distributor to distribute the signal to the two connectors of the Elgato component cable.- Answered by Asaad R from Abu Dhabi

Do I have the specs to run Elgato Game Capture HD Perfectly?
Here's what I have:
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009)
10.6.8 OS X (I plan on upgrading to Mountain Lion)
2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
4 GB of installed RAM
150 GB Hard Drive
The main thing I'm worried about is RAM. Does Elgato need to use all 4 GB of RAM?- Asked by Jesse M from Moore

AnswerHi. I have the exact same MacBook Pro and it works like a charm on it. I've also compared it to a pretty high specced gaming PC and I could not tell any difference. The same screen tearing issues with some PS3 and Xbox 360 games I've had is the same for both my PC rig and Mac Book Pro. So you'll be fine :)

Can I use that device to play ps3 on my iMac27' 2012 without TV screen ?
- Asked by Sébastien L from Los Angeles
- Jan 10, 2013
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerThere's a delay of about 1.2 seconds before video going into the Game Capture hD appears on your Mac, so it isn't really suitable for playing on your Mac screen. This is due to the video compression that the device performs. HDMI pass-through has no such delay.

Best AnswerYou can't use the HDMI on a PS3 because PS3 is a Sony product and they "honor/is compliant with" High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HBDC). The HDMI cable supports the "handshake" between devices that the data transmitted is not being "intercepted" mid-stream, which is exactly what you are doing with the Elgato, therefore you need to use the component cables from the PS3 to the Elgato (component cables dont use HBDC), then use the HDMI from Elgato to the TV.
Component cables are still able to send a 1080p or 1080i resolution image, so you are still getting what is considered the bottom end of "HD" (1080). You can still play and view the game in 1080 on the TV (60 frames per second) while simultaniously recording it on your PC or Mac via USB output from the Elgato (at 30 frames per second at 1080, 60 frames per second at 720). The Elgato allows you to play and record at different resolutions (view on TV at 1080 while recording on the Mac/PC at 1080 or 720 or 480 or 576, etc)- Answered by Bryan C from Orange Park

The cello felt awkward now.
She had to hold it differently, what it used to rest against was no longer there. That meant she also had to change her bowing and how she held her arms. In away, it was like learning to play all over again.
Losing her breast was something she could deal with, but she wasn't prepared for the mastectomy to so severely affect her playing. She didn't expect to be perfect immediately, but the extravaganza of sour notes pouring out of her instrument shook her confidence.
In the back of her mind, there was the creeping doubt that the Memphis Symphony Orchestra wouldn't bring her back for the next season, that she'd be relegated to gigging weddings to make ends meet.
She practiced harder than ever to keep that fear at bay. Each bad note a challenge to be better.
Then one day at rehearsal, something happened.
"Alisa," the conductor called her name from the podium. "First chair cello will be out for this concert. You take the lead."
She looked around for a moment, stunned. "Me?"
"Well, yes." He crossed his arms. "Unless you don't think you can do it."
"No." She smiled. "I can."
Memphis Note
The Memphis Symphony Orchestra has been a part of Memphis culture for over half a century. Started originally as a group of twenty-one musicians, the Memphis Sinfonietta outgrew their original performance space and moved into Ellis Auditorium where the group evolved into its current form.

HOGUTHON -- Courtesy: MTU
The 2012 Michigan Tech football team, which became just the second in school history to win a GLIAC title, recently handed out its team awards. Quarterback Tyler Scarlett earned the Alan Bovard Award as the team's most valuable player. The Huskies finished their 90th season of football with a 7-3 record and share of the GLIAC North Division Championship. Tech opened the year by sweeping the three GLIAC South Division foes on its schedule—Tiffin, Walsh and Findlay—in the opening three weeks. With a fellow undefeated team Grand Valley State coming to Houghton Sept. 29 for just the second night game in school history, the Huskies pushed to draw a record crowd to Sherman Field. Not only was the crowd of 4,684 a Sherman Field record, it was a record crowd for any home Tech athletics event. The Huskies raced back from a 37-7 halftime deficit to within a score before falling to the Lakers 51-43. Senior wide receiver Matt Curtin set a school record with four touchdown catches in GVSU game. He had 11 total receptions for 190 yards in the contest to start one of the most impressive stretches in school history. Curtin, who would later earn All-GLIAC First Team, posted 34 catches for 637 yards and 11 touchdowns over a four week span. Tech won the 11th annual Miner's Cup game 41-17 over Northern Michigan in Marquette Oct. 6 before returning home for Homecoming. The Huskies trailed Northwood 21-7 at half and 21-13 midway through the fourth quarter before dominating play down the stretch. Bryan LaChapelle had a 53-yard touchdown catch and run for the game-winning points with 2:37 to play. With a 5-1 record, Tech sat in first in the GLIAC North Division before tough road losses at Ferris State (56-49) and Saginaw Valley State (34-23) in back-to-back games. Michigan Tech bounced back in a big way during its final home game Nov. 3 by thumping Hillsdale 42-14. Scarlett hooked up with senior tight Bryan LaChapelle for three touchdowns in the first 22 minutes of the game. Scarlett passed for 247 yards in the contest to eclipse his own school record for passing yardage in a season. The Huskies needed a win in its season finale and a loss by Grand Valley State to clinch a share of the GLIAC North Division and that's exactly what happened. Tech defeated Wayne State 35-13 and GVSU fell to SVSU 55-52. The conference title was the ninth in school history but just the second as a member of the GLIAC (the other was in 2004). Tech GVSU, SVSU and Hillsdale finished in a four-way tie for the division title at 7-3. Scarlett, who earned the team's Outstanding Offensive Player Award in addition to MVP, reset his own school record for passing yards in a season with 2,596. He also broke Dave Walter's 1986 record for total offense with 2,889. Curtin was the recipient of 47 of Scarlett's passes for 838 yards in less than eight games of work. The senior suffered a season-ending injury halfway through the Oct. 27 game at Saginaw Valley. He was named the team's Offensive Back of the Year. Senior linebacker Justin Armstrong earned the Fred Baird Memorial Award as the team's outstanding defensive player. The Las Vegas, Nev., native and All-GLIAC First Team selection posted 80 tackles including seven for loss during the season.Akeem Cason, an All-GLIAC Second Team pick who averaged 26.5 yards per kickoff return, was named the Daniel Dopp Memorial Award winner as the team's top special teams player. Cason set a new Michigan Tech record for career kickoff return average at 26.9. LaChapelle earned the team's Offensive Lineman of the Year Award after leading the team in receptions with 55. Safety Emmett Bjorn was selected as the team's Defensive Back of the Year after recording 63 tackles—second-most on the team.Justin Blake, who posted 38 tackles including five for loss and two sacks, was the team's Defensive Lineman of the Year. Rookie Paul Kuoppala took home the Freshman of the Year Award. The middle linebacker registered 27 tackles, an interception and a fumble recovery for a touchdown during the season. Senior defensive tackle Jacob Clark earned both the Harold Meese Sportsmanship Award and the Omer LaJeunesse Scholastic Achievement Award. The two-time Academic-All-America First Team pick made 32 tackles during the season and held a 3.93 grade point average in civil engineering. The Ted Kearly Award, which was first awarded in 2009 for the Husky that played and practiced with passion, pride and integrity, went to senior running back Josh Hauswirth. Fullback Cole Welch gained the Iron Man Award for his work in training sessions. Linebacker Ben Tauchen and quarterback Isaiah Hackney were named the Defensive and Offensive Scout Team Players of the Year, respectively. Michigan Tech will lose 18 seniors from its 2012 squad. The Huskies have posted a 22-6 record over the last three years and a 44-29 slate in seven seasons under coach Tom Kearly.

Stay Hydrated this Summer
With the weather warming up, it's more important than ever to stay hydrated. But if the idea of downing 8 glasses of water doesn't appeal to you, have no fear: Although it's recommended that women over 19 get at least 2.7 liters of fluids per day, that includes all fluids, not just water--and food can provide a significant chunk of that. So if you're trying to increase your intake of fluids, add these hydrating foods to your diet to get a boost:
9. Mango: Mangoes provide a lot of bang for your caloric buck (only 135 calories per mango), and they're a good source of vitamins A, B6, and C, plus fiber.

DEKALB, IL - (UB) The University at Buffalo men's basketball team snapped its three-game losing skid in a big way, by scoring a season-high 95 points in a 95-83 win over Northern Illinois at the Convocation Center on Saturday afternoon. Five Bulls scored in double-figures, led by Rodney Pierce who had 17 points, including the 1,000th of his UB career.
Buffalo (11-7, 4-3 MAC) shot a season-best 56 percent from the field, including 61 percent in the second half to pull away for the victory.
It was a tight contest for much of the first half with neither team leading by more than seven points. Dave Barnett was an early spark for the Bulls as he scored all of his eight points in the first stanza. The Bulls held a 47-42 lead at the break.
The Bulls never relinquished the lead in the second half thanks to a bevy of backdoor plays that resulted in easy layups. John Boyer found Calvin Betts for a layup to put the Bulls up 61-50 with 15:37 left.
Jawaan Alston hit a baby hook in the lane to put the Bulls up by 15 and Sean Smiley soon followed with a jumper to extend the UB lead to 17 with 9:53 left.
Northern Illinois (8-11, 4-3 MAC) cut the Buffalo lead to 89-79 with 4:31 left. But Boyer silenced the Huskie threat by draining a three-pointer from the top of the key with the shot clock expiring to put the Bulls ahead, 92-79, with 2:18 remaining.
Boyer finished with 12 points, five rebounds and eight assists. Smiley scored 13 points and Mitchell Watt added 12 points – his best scoring output in 15 games. Betts also reached double-figures with 11 points and added six rebounds.
It was a balanced attack as nine UB players scored at least six points.
Heading into the game, Northern Illinois led the MAC in rebounding. The Bulls outrebounded the Huskies, 38-34. Buffalo committed only eight turnovers for its second straight game with single-digit turnovers.
Pierce became the 16th player in school history to score 1,000 career points and just the 10th player to do so in three seasons.
Buffalo will return home to host Western Michigan on Monday night at Alumni Arena. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:00 pm.

We lead the world in solving humanity's most pressing problems through the application of nanotechnology.
In Professor Smalley's words:
Rice's research reputation comes from solving the hardest problems in science. Others can work on the easy ones, the applied problems. Focus on the grand challenges, the holy grails in nanotechnology. Don't be distracted by the other things!
To actively support and promote researchers using nanotechnology to tackle civilization's grand challenges – energy, water, environment, disease, education – by providing experienced and knowledgeable leadership, a solid administrative framework, world-class scientific infrastructure, and productive community, industry, and government relations.
Building the bridge to a sustainable, affordable, and secure energy future.
Richard Smalley on Energy – University Professor Lecture Series January 2003
Energy transportation over long distances via copper wire is not possible. Too much energy is lost to thermal thermal expansion. Professor Smalley's answer was to replace all the copper wiring with wires made of armchair carbon nanotubes, the Armchair Quantum Wire (AQW).
