This FAQ aims to give you the locations of the monkeys in each stage, along with a walkthrough to get you the highscore. This is also tailored toward the PAL game, covering the additional two levels that were included. I'll also give you a low down on the winnings too. I hope you enjoy using the guide and that it helps you out. - Reyn =============================================================================== --------------------- TABLE OF CONTENTS --------------------- =============================================================================== 1.

Expect maps of each stage in the near future! =============================================================================== ------------------------------------ 2. WHAT IS SNAKE VS MONKEY MODE? ------------------------------------ =============================================================================== Snake vs Monkey is a fun minigame where Snake has to capture all the monkeys within an area. First you must stun them with either the Monkey Shaker or Stun Grenades, then capture them before they awaken. There are seven stages which are taken from the game, with the apes being hidden and placed in some tricky spots. You have some other items to aid you, such as the Thermal Goggles, Active Sonar, Directional Microphone and the Digital Camera. You will find these items in different stages and to unlock them so you can use them elsewhere, find them in that stage and finish the stage. Locations of them are- Thermal Goggles - Dawn Of The Apes Active Sonar - Dragnet Of The Apes Directional Microphone - Escape From The Jungle Digital Camera - Gone With The Apes Also note that you only start with the first three of the stages unlocked; completing the game allows you to access the other stages. Although this is mainly a fun side part of the game but you can also net some rewards from it too. Simply completing all the stages nets you the Monkey Mask item, whereas beating the highscores set out for you gets you to Banana camo. Within each stage I had noted a list of all the monkey locations (if you want to simply complete the stages or if you are missing any) as well as a high score walkthrough. This is a walkthrough of monkeys to get in a certain order so you can get the high score and thus unlock the Banana camo. I've tested out many ways and I have found these here to be the best, however I'm doubt if they ARE the best. Email me if you can do better! Here are several tips to help you - - Try not to alarm the apes whenever you can. Although in certain circumstances you cannot avoid it, don't be an idiot and remain stealthy where ever you can. If you do alarm them then the siren on their heads will go red and the alert music will go off. Stun them quickly before they barrage you with attacks or alarm others, but they will go back to caution after a short amount of time. - If an ape holds up a wooden shield then either aim for the legs, or tip toe (hold L2 and R2) and cap 'im in the head. - Use stun grenades for multiple apes. - If you cannot find apes, use the active sonar. - The Thermal Goggles are very helpful in the outside stages. - Play the stage over and over until you get a good order of apes and their patterns. Experiment to see what happens when you take a different route. - Punching or rolling into apes don't stun them. They just make them more angry. At a guess. =============================================================================== ------------- 3. STAGES ------------- =============================================================================== =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 3.01. Escape From The Jungle =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Location - Dremuchij South (first area) Monkeys - 9 Times - 1. 01:20:36 2. 01:20:36 3. 01:50:36 Items - Directional Microphone; just to the left of where you begin ---------------- Monkey Locations ---------------- 1.

Climb up the log and if you look in first person, a monkey will crawl from the right; shoot and catch (3). Head back over the log and traverse over to the right, taking a detour to the ape on the edge on the right side (4). Begin to head up the western grass hill and shoot and catch the ape as you go (5) as well as the one at the top (6) - hopefully this one won't fall down below and alarm the others; if he does, restart. From the edge here look up and shoot the ape on top of the central tall moss tree (7) as well as one on a lower branch (8). Slide down here and grab them as they land, then shoot the final ape to the south of here (he will be alarmed, but you should have enough time to cap his ass) (9). =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 3.02.

Catch the monkey by the log to the south here (5) then head over to the east grassy area. Catch the patrolling ape (6) then the one hiding inside the log (7). Now look to the west, toward the mount and use your weapon to zoom in. You should see the head of a monkey on there. Shoot him (8) then the ape on the tree just on the right (9) then head to the tree where they will both fall at. An ape patrols just north here (10) then head north east to where the exit should be. An ape is by the sign post (11) and another will be located just in front (12) so shoot them both then catch together.

Go north to the crates next to the building where an ape is hiding (4). Now head south out of the base grounds to the grassy area, where there are two patrolling apes; one should be right next to where you exit (5) and the other to the south or south east here (6). Now head north to where the group of nine dancing apes are. Chuck in stun grenade into the pack and start capturing; you may need to use another halfway as some could awaken (7-15). North of here is a step, with a doorway on the right and crates to the north. From the step shoot the ape on the crate (16) and then get the other ape patrolling around the crate (17). Enter the doorway and head straight through to the room where Sokolov was being held and make sure you stick to the left side not to alarm the monkey on the window. The ape is by the fireplace (18). Head back and now shoot the window ape and exit via the same way (19). Shoot the monkey to the north that's patrolling (20) then climb that ladder leading to the final ape that's residing on the roof (21). =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 3.04.

Move toward the building, and catch the ape in the trench to the right of the bridge (he will stick his head out) (3) and the ape between the bridge and the building itself (4). Head up the roof via the ladder on the right and capture the ape up here (5). Drop down on the south side (to the left of the door) and chuck a stun grenade in so you can capture all three dancing apes from left to right (6-8). Now quickly look through the right door way and shoot the alarmed ape next door before he runs out (9). If he does then you can get him in just a second, as he is going our way anyway. Exit through that far door and take out the ape lying in front of the shed just above here (10). Head east to Mesel Gear and shoot down the ape standing on the top (11) whom you can catch at the front. Head north in-between the two walls and shoot the patrolling ape (12) then head through the fence. There is an ape on the roof here (13), one patrolling round this building (14) and one in the trees to the right (15). Head to the building in the north east corner where you will find ape number (16) hiding by a crate). The final two are located to the far West, patrolling around the trees (17) and in the north / north west trench (18). Once you have this pattern nailed you should do this with a good 15-20 seconds to spare. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 3.05.

Capture him then go left and hand and drop off the walkway to the ground (yes, Snake does break his leg but it won't affect the time). Wonder left a little and shoot the ape that is running around in this open area (2). Head south west then up the stairs to the west area. Capture the ape sitting on the crate (3) then capture him by climbing the said crate. Look to the east and shoot the ape on top of the Shagohod (4) then head up the stairs on the right and you will catch him as you ascend the stairs. Walk in front of the Shagohod to set off an alarm; head back to the top of the stairs and leap off the north side and run onward. Look ahead and you'll get two apes in the far corner; chuck a stun grenade at them then drop down again to their level and do the same again and capture them (5,6). Head right through the lorries to a ramp. Now there are three apes on the ledge to the right here, however sometimes one or two drop down so have your weapon handy in case. Stun grenade the apes on the ledge so they get angry and drop down, so you can capture them (7-9). The last ape is on the walkway next to the Shagohod. Climb onto the nearby platform and chuck a stun grenade up there so he comes down toward you (10). Sometimes he may not do this, so try again if it fails. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 3.07. The Apes Of Wrath =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Note that this stage is exclusive to the PAL version of MGS3.

Continue north and capture the patrolling ape (8) and the ape up the tree (9). Go west (a bit of village people there) and capture the ape by the base of the tree (10) then stun grenade the four dancing apes just south of there (11-14). The final two apes are to the south, one is patrolling (15) and the other up a tree (16). As long as you use the thermal goggles here this is a cake walk and could be done in 1:20 easily. If you lose track of any apes then use the Active Sonar to find them again. =============================================================================== -------------- 4. REWARDS -------------- =============================================================================== What? Rewards? Surely not! Although this is a really fun mini game you can unlock two items to use in the main game. They aren't major items or in fact decent ones, but you want everything right? Here's the rundown on what the two rewards are and how to unlock them. ----------- Monkey Mask ----------- What is it - An item, NOT a face paint. Purpose - I'm not sure... I think it can confuse certain bosses and guards however! I'm sure it stays on in cutscenes as well! How to unlock - Complete each stage. ----------------- Banana Camouflage ----------------- What is it - Camouflage Purpose - It makes every item taste good. Not at all good for stealth though. How to unlock - Beat the highscore on each stage. =============================================================================== ------------------------------------ 5.

Laura Prescott just left me a post on my Facebook wall that said "have I met you?" She was being facetious, of course, but it brings back a memory.
Just a few years ago I was a new member in the New England Chapter of the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG). I didn't know many genealogists yet. I went to a meeting that was held at NARA in Waltham. I took a seat and the room filled up. Arriving late was Laura Prescott. There weren't too many chairs left so she took the seat next to me. I remember thinking to myself "Wow, Laura Prescott is setting next to me!" I'm not trying to be funny. Laura is one of the most well-known genealogists in New England. After she sat down, she pulled out a salad and started eating away. She apologized to me profusely, saying that she was starving. Not only was this amazing genealogist sitting next to me but she was apologizing to me. What a night!
We've talked many times since that night. I'm happy to say that I now count Laura as one of my favorite colleagues and friends.
For those of you thinking about getting involved in professional genealogy consider joining your local chapter of APG. The reward and fun you will have networking and interacting with your colleagues is priceless.

Post subject: Any chances for S2= 40...?
Hey guys
I am so disappointed with my GAMSAT scores but still wanna check if there is any chacne to get an interview. By the way, I am an international student.
My scores are:
Section 1 = 55
Section 2 = 40
Section 3 = 77
Total Score was 62.
It's my first GAMSAT. I was so nervous, maybe that's why I stuffed up in section II. Is there any chance that I can get an interview? I know the Section II mark is pretty much hopeless...
Thanks you.
Sorry if these questions are silly.

Sorry to break the news to you but most unis require all three sections to have a minimum of 50 in order to get an interview.
Good luck!

Hi - I disagree with most people's thred's here.
Depending on which uni's you are looking at I believe your overall GAMSAT score of 62 could land you an interview. My advice to you would be to look at what schools weight interviews the most, ie 60/40 and then if you think you could smash the interview then I'd hop right on it! I believe if you have a decent GPA and GAMSAT score, plus good application details your chances are increased - the disappointing thing is that whilst every uni does state a minimum 50 in every section, when they break down your overall mark that 40 will be your downfall. I'd say give it a crack if you have the money and the time, if you have time to resit the GAMSAT then I would say go for it - but you just never know what the competition is like each year until after offers have been made! Chin up, on average people sit the GAMSAT 3-4 times..

According to Flinders the section II cutoff is 45ish and that's a long way from 40.
"For most Australasian applicants who are not applying to the NT Medical Program or in a special admissions sub-quota, the overall GAMSAT score required for interview has been in the range 56-62% in recent years. It was 61% for 2011. Applicants also needed to achieve scores of at least 50% in Sections I and III and a minimum score of about 45% in Section II."
Source: flinders.edu.au/medicine/sites/medical-course/domestic-applicants/selection-process.cfm
I suggest you have a think about where you went wrong and work on it. Was it structure, spelling, etc... If you can boost your section I/II scores to around the 60 mark you would be laughing. 77 in section III is savant material so spend the next 9 months working on your english.

Via the Association for Downloadable Media (ADM) website, VoloMedia (formerly PodBridge) explained the patent just issued to them for "podcasting." I use quotes because they say it is for "podcasting." Patent #7,568,213 actually covers a "Method for Providing Episodic Media." You know, like TV and soap operas. My guess is they posted it to the ADM website because no one noticed it on the VoloMedia website. Reading about this recent success just takes me down memory lane.
Remember when…
Adam Curry, Dave Winer and VoloMedia came up with that crazy idea about enclosures in RSS?
Or the time Winer, Christopher Lydon and VoloMedia really put it into practice?
Or when Doug Kaye and VoloMedia chatted and IT Conversations was born?
Or how about when Dave Slusher and VoloMedia spotted Dannie Gregoires's RSS aggregation software using the agent name 'podcaster' and chimed "Podcasting! right on!" and podcasting got its name?
Wow! The memories…
I know when early on Todd Cochrane, Dawn & Drew, Dan Klass, myself and many others were trying to sort out how to podcast it was always the folks at VoloMedia who came to our aid to explain episodic media done right. Heck – they invented it!
All that initial media attention: NY Times, Wired Magazine, USA Today, CNN etc., etc. It was always our basic crew – plus the great guys & gals from VoloMedia.
You couldn't help but bump into the VoloMedia team in the green rooms at conferences. In fact, I can't think of a podcast conference I went to where I didn't see their banners or leave without them forcing a VoloMedia branded shirt and pen on us.
Those VoloMedia folks are awesome! They always covered the bar bill. The stories I could tell.
Those were the days…
How about the time an overly VC funded company tried to carve out an island of potential IP defensibility and future for litigation based revenue via a broad patent?
Good times, good times….
VoloMedia can claim whatever they like, good for them. IP claims like this can be used in many ways. Nuisance litigation, acquisition value etc. etc. Prior art from many listed above will be an issue but it comes down to dollars and sense.
The big loser in my opinion is the ADM. Who in the world agreed to post this to their site? Recent "notes", "updates" and "clarifications" aside they gave it credibility under their name as an organization, an organization supported by the very people who will likely take issue with it and litigate it. No one paid this any notice until it was on the ADM site. Well played VoloMedia. The ADM folks are all smart people, how they allowed this to happen baffles me.
What am I doing about it? I'm adding podcasting/episodic media "expert witness" to my resume. When in Rome…

RECALL: GM 2013 Pickups
GM is recalling over 300,000 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups in the United States..
The recall is to reprogram software that may cause exhaust components to overheat and catch fire. Eight fires have been caused by the problem, but no one has been injured.
Of special note is that GM says all the fires had occurred in very cold places (obviously, West Michigan is one!) and it wanted to caution against leaving trucks running unattended.
The trucks included are:
- 2014 Model with either 4.3L and 5.3L engine
- Trucks with 6.2 liter engines are NOT being recalled
Signs to watch out for include a continuous yellow "check engine light" and an "engine power reduced" message in your display. If you own one of these trucks, you should contact the dealer for an appointment.

How to Decoupage a Traycomments (14) August 24th, 2012
My relationship with paper-and that's what it is, a relationship-is a curious one: I love it, I appreciate it, but more often than not, I cut, fold, or otherwise mutilate it after which I usually get rid of it (pass it off to a client, a photographer, a friend). Visitors to my studio are always surprised by the fact that for someone who works almost exclusively with paper, there is so very little of it on view around me.
To help remedy this situation, I have lately been thinking of ways in which I might get some of my more prized pieces of paper out of the storage drawers (where they lie perfectly flat and protected from creases and dust) and into my actual world where I can see and feel and appreciate them for the beautiful things they are.

Recently I visited an Ikea store in New Jersey and there found a lovely, 15-inch-diameter plastic serving tray. By lovely, I mean the size was great (large enough to hold a sandwich, some soda, and a plate of chips), it was sturdy (so it might well serve to carry a steaming pot of hot tea and a plate of biscotti), and it was inexpensive (marked down to $5.99 from its regular price of $9.99). The only thing wrong with it was, it was an ugly computer-beige with rather insipid little amoeba shapes printed on it. However, ugly seemed like a problem I might be able to tackle.
In my studio was a gorgeous piece of Japanese paper-a decorative Katazome-that I had been saving for just the right application. Katazome is a handmade process of stencil-dying paper using a starch-resistance method that can be traced back to 15th-century Japan. In brief, a design is cut into a stencil (the stencil paper for this particular process being a work of art in itself-it is treated with an elixir made from Persimmon, which gives it a rich tobacco coloring and prevents it from absorbing any of the starches used in the design transfer process). Once the stencil has been prepared, it is placed over a sheet of handmade paper and a starch solution is then applied through the stencil onto the paper's surface. When the starch is dry, pigments are applied by hand. As a final step, the entire sheet of paper is placed in a bath to loosen and remove the dried starch. The result is visible below. (Note: The areas of the paper that appear "white" were covered with starch prior to the pigments being applied. Once the pigmentation was complete and the starch was washed away, the white areas of the paper became visible again.) For anyone who is familiar with the beeswax and pigment process of making Ukrainian Eggs, Katazome is very similar.
Beautiful, bold-shaped tray, meet gorgeous handmade paper. The marriage has resulted in utter bliss. The finished tray sits beside me on the table as I write this (holding a pot of coffee, a newspaper, and the most delicious H&H bagel-a New York treasure-I have ever tasted).

When Cindi Morrison became director of the Mulvane Art Museum at Washburn University in Topeka, Kan., in 2008, annual attendance at the 20,000-square-foot museum was about 50,000.
When Cindi Morrison became director of the Mulvane Art Museum at Washburn University in Topeka, Kan., in 2008, annual attendance at the 20,000-square-foot museum was about 50,000.
Through a lot of hard work, Morrison brought in numerous creative art exhibitions and the attendance soared by 140 percent to 120,000 in just four years.
"That's what I was hired to do here," said Morrison, the Appleton Museum of Art's director. She was hired in November to replace John Lofgren, who retired last April to move to California to be closer to family.
The immaculate 81,000-square-foot facility on Silver Springs Boulevard showed signs of new life on Thursday, despite a recent funding scare.
The College of Central Florida, which operates the facility with mostly state funds, received news that legislators may cut $250,000 — roughly 17 percent of the Appleton's $1.5 million it gets from the state.
But numerous phone calls by CF officials helped save the special project funding secured by former state Sen. Evelyn Lynn, an Ormond Beach Republican who was forced out last year because of term limits.
The news created a discussion among the CF board of trustees members on Tuesday. They are concerned that since legislators targeted the special projects funding this year, they may make another run at slicing it next year. Trustees agreed to lobby legislators to make sure that doesn't happen.
"Without that special projects funding, exhibits and education" would suffer, Morrison said. Such cuts would be to "cut off your nose to spite your face," considering museums have substantial economic impacts on communities.
A recent economic prosperity study, which shows museums in Central Florida — from Orlando to Gainesville, including the Appleton — generate $199.9 million in salaries alone.
Morrison said she was drawn to the Appleton, impressed with its reputation and its collection, which is among the best in the country — especially for a community the size of Ocala.
The Appleton Museum of Art was founded in 1982, a gift from Arthur I. Appleton. After the city of Ocala donated the 44-acre site for the museum, construction began in 1984.
It opened three years later and now boasts 16,000 artifacts, including European, American, Asian, African, contemporary and pre-Columbian art. It also features a series of temporary traveling exhibitions.
In 2001, the Appleton featured artwork of Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet, creating a national buzz that helped further cement the Appleton as a world-class museum.
Morrison said attendance is growing, up 5 percent in the first three months of this year when compared with the same period in 2012.
She credits the rise to several significant exhibits, including "New World Treasures: Artifacts from Hernando De Soto's Florida Expedition" and "Rebels With a Cause: American Impressionist Women from the Huntsville Museum of Art."
And she is planning to bring some unique exhibits in the next two years in hopes of generating higher attendance.
The hopes to host more national juried art competitions at the Appleton, which not only brings people to the museum from all over the United States to see displayed artwork but puts the Appleton more on the art map.
Morrison is also negotiating with world renown outdoor sculptor Patrick Dougherty, who uses vines, tree limbs and native saplings to create large outdoor pieces.
Dougherty, from Chapel Hill, N.C., has built more than 200 sculptures all over the world. In fact, Morrison secured him at the Mulvane four years ago and attendance soared.
She noted his work draws people who want to see the sculptor create his outdoor masterpiece — such as a teapot and three tea cups, for instance — in three weeks from scratch. She said the sculptures last a couple years before they degrade.
Morrison is also planning an "Art of the Robot" exhibit, which will include many works of national artists she knows from around the country. She hopes to get renown Lego sculptor Nathan Sawaya's "Art of the Brick" exhibition in 2015. Morrison's vision is to bring different types of exhibitions to the Appleton, ones that draw on the interests of many different people.
While Morrison shared her vision, workers downstairs were in the beginning stages of remodeling the entrance foyer.
The museum once featured Marion County's only escalators, which have been in decline for years. They have been removed and are being replaced by a pair of marble staircases, a move to save money on the electric bills and rising maintenance costs.
Appleton spokesman Steve Specht said the 25-year-old escalators, which had a history of maintenance issues, were removed to save money. Disabled visitors will still have access to the second floor of the 81,000-square-foot museum via an existing elevator.
Besides the $250,000 that was nearly cut, the state Legislature ponies up nearly another $1.3 million. The total budget for the museum is $1.9 million.
Nearly a decade ago, Florida State University — which had partnered with CF in the operation of the museum since 1990 — pulled its $1 million funding.
Lawmakers agreed to cover the shortfall, provided CF's administrators and foundation let FSU out of its commitment. CF then worked out a deal to take over the facility.

Lipscomb cross country coach Bill Taylor has placed a challenging schedule in front of his Lady Bisons and Bisons and he has realized the need to pace their performances in order to provide the highest possible success.
This Saturday at the Commodore Classic at Percy Warner Park the men's team will have its top runners entered, but the top 15 women will not participate.
In Thursday's Atlantic Sun Conference poll the Lady Bisons were picked first and the Bisons were ranked fourth. The Lady Bisons are also ranked fifth in the South Region.
Due to the large field expected, Vanderbilt officials have decided to have four races. The Men's Gold 8-K race will begin at 9 a.m. followed by the Women's Gold 6-K at 9:45. The Men's Black race starts at 10:30 followed by the Women's Black race at 11:15.
"We are resting our top 15 women this weekend," Taylor said. "We have some very important meets coming up and our top women will benefit more from doing a practice and preparing mentally for the rest of the season.
"We will have about six or seven women in the race and it will be a great opportunity for some of them to move up the roster. It's a tough decision because this meet is on our home course and right here in Nashville. There will be a lot of great teams here, and our top women would love to race in front of the home crowd. We have to look at the bigger picture though and make the best decisions for our greater goals."
The Lady Bisons, the defending A-Sun champions, finished first at the season opening meet at Florida Gulf Coast. The men placed second, but Taylor was not pleased with what he saw overall.
"Our men's team is young and most will race this weekend," Taylor said. "We are sitting seniors Tim Muller and Ashton Fisher. I think almost everyone else is racing.
"The men have improved in practice the past two weeks. Now we want to see improvement in the race. This race is a great opportunity to see what progress has been made and whether the men are serious about the goals they have stated. If they run for each other, all will be good."
One of Taylor's biggest concerns was the failure of the men's team to follow his race plan at FGCU.
"If they do poorly because I gave them a bad plan then it is on me," Taylor said. "When you don't execute the plan from the moment the gun goes off then that bothers me. They need to listen to what I tell them to do. They need to race better together. They need to fight for every inch.
"I don't know what my expectations were per se for the men in the first meet. Daniel Gardner and Matt Hall did a really good job for freshmen in their first meet."
The Lady Bisons will compete at the Toledo Intercollegiate "Bubblebuster" meet in Toledo, Ohio Sept. 22. Both teams will race Sept. 29 in Kentucky at the Louisville Classic.

text: [This article is the second in a two-part series. Read Part 1: Relics Reborn — Ribbon Microphones Rally for Vintage-Audio Geeks .] As studio-quality home-recording equipment has become cheaper over the years, a good microphone — a key component of a bedroom setup — has remained prohibitively expensive for many amateurs. Ribbon mics are widely considered among the best microphones, but they can easily cost thousands of dollars. See Also: Ribbon Microphones Rally for Vintage-Audio Geeks Birth of the Microphone: How Sound Became SignalSo it was no small boon when, over the last decade, a crop of cheap, Chinese-made ribbon mics appeared on the U.S. market. Suddenly the landscape for music engineers on a budget was more inviting. And while the quality of these microphones is predictably questionable, a handful of tinkerers have found that small modifications to these imports can exponentially improve their quality, thus shrinking the price tag for a comparable mic by a factor of 10. Though multiple Chinese companies sell ribbon mics under different brand names (most commonly Apex, MXL or Nady), many American customers suspect that most, if not all, of the Chinese mics are made in the same factory. Michael Joly, who upgrades Apex mics commercially, believes that portions of the Chinese imports are clones of the American-made AEA R84, which retails for $1,000. In most industries, the kind of direct copying perpetrated by Chinese manufacturers would trigger a lawsuit, but the original patents for ribbon mics have long since expired, and the technology hasn't changed radically since the old days. As a result, the basic design of ribbon mics, from the guts of the ribbon assembly to the glossy chrome of the exterior, is something akin to collective property. Present-day builders can emulate the tried-and-true mics of the past, often copying a single element, such as the body of the mic or the layout of the ribbon. Even AEA, one of the most respected companies in the business, makes replicas of classic and copyright-free RCA ribbon microphones. What distinguishes top-quality mics from the mass-produced Chinese copies is craftsmanship — and a fixed address. As studio owner John Vanderslice points out, if something goes wrong with one of his American-made mics, he can pick up the phone and talk to the person who made it. Murky origins aside, some audio enthusiasts were surprised by the quality of Chinese-made mics, which offered respectable sound for around $100, a relatively low price. Top photo: College student and musician Jeffrey James used a piece of bathroom handrail for the chassis of a ribbon mic. James used plans from Rick Wilkinson, profiled later in this article. Bottom photo: The completed mic. Photos by Katherine Anderson.Larry Killip , a New Zealand musician and ribbon-mic enthusiast, helped introduce Chinese mics to the English-speaking market. Killip, who makes his living as a studio engineer and writing jingles for commercials, has been a home-recording geek since the 1960s. Back then, recording gear was tough to come by in New Zealand, so building and modding was a necessary part of life for aspiring musicians. As a teenager, Killip used a tape recorder with a small ribbon mic, and today the fidelity of those early recordings still impresses him. Now Killip has all the modern tools available to professional engineers, but he still tinkers with his own gear. In 2003 he discovered a new line of cheap Chinese ribbon mics that were easy for hobbyists to upgrade. Some were unbranded and others badged with the brand name "Nady," but all were manufactured to roughly the same specs, and probably came from a single factory. "I had one of the earliest Nady microphones," he says. "And in one magic moment I managed to find a website of the actual factory in China." Killip liked the sound of the Nady mics and thought that they offered an opportunity for audio hackers to get a high-quality ribbon mic for a fraction of the cost of name-brand models. Killip and American friends from an online audio forum began to buy Nady mics and find ways to improve them, helping give birth to the community of ribbon-mic hackers that has burgeoned in recent years. Photo: A collection of Larry Killip's microphones. Courtesy Larry Killip.Through an internet forum on ribbon mics, Killip hooked up with Seattle's Jon Ulrigg, a musician who had been building some of his own studio equipment. "I had this little light bulb go off," says Ulrigg, "Essentially ribbon mics are a pretty simple technology. Why are they so expensive?" Ulrigg teamed up with Killip to put in an order to the Chinese factory. The microphones they received, according to Ulrigg, were modified versions of the Nady ribbon mics. "Once I got the microphones in," says Ulrigg, "I figured out some stuff that could be done differently that could improve the quality without necessarily jacking the price up a whole bunch. That's what I've been doing ever since." Ulrigg founded a company, Shinybox, which builds mics using custom body components made in China and ribbons he produces himself. Left: A 46-Series microphone from Shinybox. Courtesy Shinybox. Right: A Chinese-made Apex 205 modified by Michael Joly of OktavaMod. Courtesy Michael Joly.Since the arrival of the Chinese-made mics, several companies have started offering professional upgrades. Michael Joly (pronounced like the Green Giant), a mic builder from Springfield, Massachusetts, provides upgrades to several different models through his company OktavaMod. For $260, Joly offers a comprehensive upgrade for the Apex 205, which retails umodded for $100. Joly swaps in a higher-quality transformer made by Lundahl, a Swedish company that specializes in transformers for audio applications. To increase the mic's sensitivity, Joly removes the wire mesh and pop filter that surround the ribbon, and adds material to dampen unwanted acoustic resonances within the body of the microphone. While he's at it, Joly replaces the wiring with a heavier gauge and winds it differently to minimize stray signals. "When you do all of these things to these hundred-dollar microphones," Joly says, "You end up with a microphone that can go head-to-head with a $1,300 Coles, and be chosen over the Coles and used on the record." Joly started his career working for inventor David Blackmer, whose noise-reduction technology dbx lost the mass market to Dolby but ended up a standard of Tascam four-tracks as well as professional tape equipment. Photo: A collection of microphones from OctavaMod. Courtesy Michael Joly.Engineer and musician John Vanderslice of Tiny Telephone studio in San Francisco is skeptical that ribbon-mic quality can be purchased at a discount. "If people's thrill in modifying a cheapo, junky ribbon mic is that they want to actually learn about microphones, I think that's the most beautiful thing," he says. "But I have noticed this really bizarre offshoot where people are just trying to save $50. If you start to look at microphones as a tool and nothing else, you don't want any variation. You don't want to polish a turd; you actually just want a good screwdriver. It's not like a Beyer 160 is really that expensive." At $500 new, a Beyer m160 (above) does cost another few Benjamins, but Vanderslice expresses greater confidence in Beyer, a German firm, than its Chinese competitors. "There's no bargains in audio," he concludes, "You have to bleed to get a good microphone. It's going to be expensive." Photo: A Beyerdynamic m160 from Tiny Telephone studio. Jim Merithew/Wired.com.Due to the ribbon mic's simplicity, many amateurs are modding mics on their own, including audio enthusiast Matthew McGlynn from Sonoma County, California. His encyclopedic website Recordinghacks.com hosts Joly's buyers guide and features an extensive database of microphone specs. McGlynn is a believer in "shootouts." where multiple mics are used to capture the same sound, followed by the audio equivalent of a blind taste test. Listeners rate each individual track without knowing which mic recorded it, ensuring that the results are not biased in favor of major brands. Photo: Not a whole lot to it. The Chinese-made ACM-3, ready for a transformer swap. Matthew McGlynn/Recordinghacks.comSome audio professionals, including Tiny Telephone's Vanderslice, are skeptical about whether shootouts reveal much about the quality of a piece of equipment. Critics say that a user can only develop a real understanding of a mic's performance by putting it to work in dozens of sessions with diverse kinds of music. Nevertheless, shootouts are a common technique with intuitive appeal, giving consumers a side-by-side comparison of at least one application of a mic. For his own shootout, McGlynn recently upgraded the transformer in his ACM-3, a Chinese ribbon mic, using a component from the awesomely named microphone company Tab Funkenwerk, and recorded a comparison between the stock and home-modified version. He also sent a similar model, the ACM-2 (which features the same internal components in a different housing) to Stephen Sank, a professional audio technician who restores classic ribbon mics. Sank dumped the Chinese transformer and installed a new one made by Cinemag, a respected manufacturer based in California. He also removed some of the mic's protective wire mesh. To test the impact of these changes, McGlynn recorded a grand piano using all three mics simultaneously. To most listeners' ears, the distinctions will be subtle: McGlynn emphasizes details like the hammers' striking the strings and the resonance of big chords. For fastidious studio types, such seemingly minor differences loom large, and are the wellspring of endless debates over gear.

Matthew McGlynn/recordinghacks.comSome motivated DIYers forego the Chinese mics altogether and just build their own from scratch. It might seem like a task best suited to an electrical engineer with a little spare time, but a few web-oriented audio hackers have put DIY mics within the grasp of the average person. Or at least the average nerd. And surprisingly, some professional studio types have been impressed by the sound quality of mics that look like the handiwork of MacGyver. Rick Wilkinson, a technical writer and frontman of Chum, "Southern California's Killerest Surf Band," has been a trailblazer for homemade ribbon mics. As a father and homeowner, Wilkinson had to keep his rock band on a tight budget. He was excited by the reports that a few simple and affordable modifications could make a Chinese mic sound competitive with models that cost $500 and up. Photo: Rick Wilkinson, homebrew mic guru and San Diego surf rocker. Jim Merithew/Wired.com"In 2007, I wanted to buy an entry-level ribbon mic," says homebrew mic guru Rick Wilkinson, "While researching the various Chinese offerings I discovered that other people were modifying the Chinese mics with USA parts." Wilkinson had a background in electronics and when he looked at the modified mics he decided that he would be better off starting from scratch. "I figured I could build a ribbon mic with quality USA parts for about the same price as a cheap Chinese mic. So I did it," Says Wilkinson. Wilkinson succeeded in building some home-brew ribbon mics for about $100 in parts. Then he developed a set of plans, so other audio hobbyists could follow his lead. He started selling the plans online for $10, and now offers kits with all the necessary components, plus instructional videos, for $200. Between ordering the parts, letting glue dry and successfully cutting the extremely fragile ribbon (be prepared for many failed attempts), Wilkinson estimates that building one of his mics from the plans alone would take "about a week of weeknights." But he insists that his kit, with all the parts already included, takes just 90 minutes to assemble. Wilkinson's end product turned out to offer more than just an education. While he readily admits that "you can spend $1,000 or $1,500 on a mic and get what you pay for," Wilkinson believes that mics made to his specifications are a cut above the budget imports. Kevin Ink, owner of the Studio That Time Forgot in San Francisco, was impressed by one of Wilkinson's early versions of the "Austin" microphone. "It sounds huge," he says, "I would use it. It's got really nice bottom and nice detail on the top." Even Michael Joly, whose Chinese-mic–modding business could potentially be threatened by a successful DIY kit, gave the Austin favorable reviews. If home-brewers choose to buy the more expensive magnets and transformer recommended in Wilkinson's plans, Joly believes that they can create a mic that is competitive with his modified Apex 205. He estimates that it will take 20 hours to complete, but he is optimistic about the end result, saying, "If you build that mic according to his plans, you've got a really nice mic." The world of audio recording is full of debates, even feuds. Web forums overflow with arguments over which gear gets the best results, the most value for money, the most chicks. (With microphones, the answer to that last one is almost always 'none.') Many studio professionals and equipment manufacturers admit that when it comes to the high-end microphones, there is no absolute standard of comparison. That makes sense, of course, because when it comes to the final product, tastes vary widely. What one engineer describes as a classic recording, or a classic microphone, another might dismiss as outdated and clunky. Case in point: We fully anticipate our own readers to weigh in with their opinions in the comments section below.

Robotic Hysterectomy
If your doctor recommends hysterectomy or myomectomy, you may be a candidate for surgery with the robotic da Vinci Surgical System, one of the most effective, least invasive treatment options for a range of uterine conditions, enabling our surgeons to perform with unmatched precision and control using only a few small incisions.
For most patients, robotic surgery can offer numerous potential benefits over traditional approaches to vaginal, laparoscopic or open abdominal hysterectomy, particularly when performing more challenging procedures like radical hysterectomy for gynecologic cancer.
Potential benefits include:
- Less pain
- Less blood loss
- Fewer complications
- Less scarring
- A shorter hospital stay
- A faster return to normal daily activities

So because of my upcoming NYC trip - I'm packing my lunch every day. Then today - my lovely fabulous coworker Marge says she'll buy my lunch (celebrating my upcoming doomsday birthday) if I'll forego the packed extravaganza of salad and a pink zinger.
I reluctantly agree and Marge says she wants to go to Ingredients. That's coo - I like that place - especially when someone else is buying!
So we each go for the pizza line - which frightened me a bit - as I've heard really bad things about their pizza. I got a meat lovers and Marge got a pepperoni. Super thin crust - lots of toppings - nice flavor to the sauce. I'd say there was a little too much cornmeal and the crust was a little uneven (huge on one side - nonexistant on the other) - but all in all for a quick pizza - pretty good!
We also got a fruit cup which sucked! The fruit wasn't ripe and had absolutely no flavor.
Overall - I'll give it a 3 star = That's like generic mac & cheese - almost perfect - but it's not the blue box! And that's mostly cuz I wasn't buying - so hey - if someone wants to take you there - GO FOR IT!

Another hall-of-fame sports star—Bill Russell, the Boston Celtics great—has sued Electronic Arts over what he calls the unauthorized use of his likeness from his college career more than 50 years ago.
Russell, who is plainly "Center #06" of the University of San Francisco's 1956 team in NCAA Basketball 09, is one of the biggest names to file suit against the sports publisher and the NCAA. Many have done so over the past two years, alleging that the thinly veiled references to actual players in EA Sports' college rosters—in many cases all but the player's name is used—are easily identifiable by sports fans and constitute an unauthorized use of the player's likeness.
An Electronic Arts spokesman gave no comment to Bloomberg News, which first reported news of the lawsuit.
Russell and his San Francisco Dons had appeared in NCAA Basketball's "Tournament of Legends" mode, in which great championship teams from the past could be placed into a bracket and pitted against one another.
Electronic Arts and the NCAA have prevailed in incremental developments as these cases have evolved, although a number are still pending. Russell's lawsuit likely will be joined into an existing action somewhere. Previously, Electronic Arts has prevailed over the former Rutgers quarterback Ryan Hart, who alleged the unauthorized use of his likeness in the label's NCAA Football series. A federal judge held that Electronic Arts was acting within its First Amendment rights in making such a depiction, and that right superseded Hart's right to privacy or control of his likeness. EA prevailed in a similar fashion over NFL Hall of Famer Jim Brown back in 2009.
The publisher is still embroiled in lawsuits brought by other players from college basketball and football.
Incidentally, Russell appears (with his fully compensated permission) in the recently released NBA 2K12 (pictured above).

Microsoft's Smart Personal Object Technology, also known as SPOT, was originally unveiled by Bill Gates a decade ago. It was a neat concept — using FM transmissions to deliver lightweight data services such as news headlines, sports scores, gas prices and weather to devices. It started with watches and later expanded to GPS navigation units and even a coffee maker.
Of course, it was our phones that ended up being the smart devices in our lives, giving us all of that information and more via cellular and WiFi networks.
And yesterday marked the official end of the Microsoft initiative, as the MSN Direct service that powered the devices went dark, as noted by Engadget.
The end of the service was not a surprise. Sales of the watches were discontinued in 2008, and MSN Direct's Jan. 1, 2012, end of life was announced in October 2009. The SPOT initiative was long ago relegated to the status of flop.
I've covered this one almost since the beginning, and remember listening to Bill Gates as he demonstrated his watch to a group of reporters at a small gathering after the SPOT unveiling in Las Vegas. Even back then, Gates seemed to realize that it was a bit of a novelty product, in part because of the bulky designs of the first-generation watches, but also in a broader sense.
The watches and follow-up devices pointed accurately to a future of connected devices, but in the end they weren't the right implementation to connect with mainstream consumers. It's an example of Microsoft having a good sense for where technology was headed but not clearly seeing how people would incorporate the connected world into their everyday lives.
But hey, let's give the company some credit for at least attempting to do Dick Tracy proud.

Weekly Release Spotlight: Gambles
By Abbie Gobeli
Layers of instrumentation, electronics, and vast amounts of production is a current trend that increasingly coats the voice and lyricism. Sometimes you need musical simplicity to resonate with the troubles that burden your soul. Yearning vocals and an acoustic guitar is all that Matthew Daniel Siskin needed to begin writing songs as Gambles in August 2012 to let unsaid thoughts of the past few years surface. Siskin recently released his debut effort Trust via his Secretly Canadian imprint, GMBLS.
"Was it a dip in the ocean or a dive from your life? (I'd still like to know)" Gambles has secrets he wants to share but you need to be the decoder. His tumblr Gmbls.com features a messy dada collage of cryptic texts reflecting his lyricism style. Each track is shaped to be ambiguous in its language allowing you to fill in the blanks with your own stories.
Siskin's voice seems weary but persistently strong as it crackles slowly releasing a heavy sadness. "Angel" seems to be the exception to the gloomy folk that saturates the record and seems to be a celebration of a close one. Variances of loss are explored throughout: "So I Cry Out" tries to make sense of lost time and "Safe Side" sends regards to the search for an identity and its consequences
Gambles will be in Minneapolis at the 7th Street Entry with Those Darlins and live in-studio on Radio K at approximately at 5 pm CST on October 25th.
