ASUS VivoTab Note 8 M80TA
The 8-inch VivoTab 8 is a Windows tablet that doesn't particularly stand out in a crowded field, until you discover the Wacom stylus tucked inside its body.
Sony Xperia Tablet Z2 ( 32GB, white)
While the battery is a concern, the Xperia Z2 Tablet is still a good-looking slate that's loaded with more than enough power for anything you're likely to throw at it. It's a good choice if you're looking for a more affordable iPad alternative with 4G LTE -- particularly if you've ever lost a gadget through water damage.
Samsung Galaxy Note Pro ( 32GB, Wi-Fi, black)
Not quite a workstation replacement, the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro is an expensive behemoth of a tablet with a vast amount of features that will benefit only the most serious of tablet users.
Toshiba Encore 8 ( 32GB)
The Toshiba Encore 8 offers a lot for its price, but the more appealing Dell Venue 8 Pro is a cheaper and sleeker alternative.
Asus Transformer Pad TF701T
Despite its bulky design, the Asus Transformer Pad TF701T is one of the best 10-inch Android tablet values available, but it's worth your time to also look closely at its competition.
Dell Venue 8 Pro
The Dell Venue 8 Pro comes close to being a great pocket-size mini-PC, but a misplaced button and missing accessories feel like unnecessary errors.
Nokia Lumia 2520 ( black)
Unless you want a Windows RT tablet with cellular connection, skip the Lumia 2520 and get the Surface 2 instead.
Apple iPad Mini 2 ( silver, 32GB, T-Mobile)
The new iPad Mini somehow shrinks down the iPad Air into an even more compact package, sacrificing nearly nothing. It's more expensive than before, but it's also the perfect smaller tablet.
Microsoft Surface 2
The Microsoft Surface 2 is great for getting work done, but those looking for extensive app support (beyond Office) will find top Apple, Android, and Amazon tablets to be better options.
Toshiba Excite Write
Though it doesn't have any glaring problems, $600 is way too much for a tablet that fails to stand out in any significant way.

Dapper, a Large-Scale Distributed Systems Tracing Infrastructure
Google's paper about their large-scale distributed systems tracing solution Dapper which inspired Twitter's Zipkin:
Here we introduce the design of Dapper, Google's production distributed systems tracing infrastructure, and describe how our design goals of low overhead, application-level transparency, and ubiquitous deployment on a very large scale system were met. Dapper shares conceptual similarities with other tracing systems, particularly Magpie [3] and X-Trace [12], but certain design choices were made that have been key to its success in our environment, such as the use of sampling and restricting the instrumentation to a rather small number of common libraries.

Google BigQuery: Running SQL-like Queries Against Very Large Datasets
Announced at GigaOm Structure Data event, Google launches a new BigData service named BigQuery:
BigQuery enables businesses and developers to gain real-time business insights from massive amounts of data without any upfront hardware or software investments.
A quick bullet point list of BigQuery features and limitations:
- BigQuery is ideal for running queries over vast amounts of data—up to billions of rows—with great speed.
- BigQuery is good for analyzing vast quantities of data quickly, but not for modifying it. In data analysis terms, BigQuery is an OLAP (online analytical processing) system.
- You can import data into BigQuery as CSV data, where it is stored in the cloud in a relatively small number of tables with no explicit relationship to each other.
- BigQuery isn't a database system:
- It doesn't support table indexes or other database management features.
- BigQuery supports a specialized subset of SQL; it doesn't support update or delete requests.
- BigQuery supports joins only when one side of the join is much smaller than the other.
- BigQuery can be used by any client able to send REST commands over the Internet.
After the break you can watch the 15 minutes video recorded at the GigaOm event.

How Web giants store big data
An ArsTechnica, not very technical, overview of the storage engines developed and used by Google (Google File System, BigTable), Amazon (Dynamo), Microsoft (Azure DFS), plus the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS).

Research in the MapReduce Space
Over the weekend I've read two papers presenting products or research related to improving or adding new capabilities to the MapReduce data processing approach. The first of them comes from a team at Microsoft and is describing TiMR a time-oriented data processing system in MapReduce. The second, from a team at Google, presents Tenzin - a SQL implementation on the MapReduce framework. It's great to learn that while the Hadoop community is eliminating some of the initial limitations and hardening the technical details of the platform, there are already ideas and systems out there that augment the capabilities of the MapReduce data processing model.

Paper: Tenzing A SQL Implementation on the MapReduce Framework
This recent paper from a team at Google is presenting details about Tenzing a system that is currently in use at Google:
Tenzing is a query engine built on top of MapReduce for ad hoc analysis of Google data. Tenzing supports a mostly complete SQL implementation (with several extensions) combined with several key characteristics such as heterogeneity, high performance, scalability, reliability, metadata awareness, low latency, support for columnar storage and structured data, and easy extensibility.
A couple of things I've highlighted when reading it:
- Tenzing is in production, but doesn't serve yet a huge amount of queries
- the backend storage can be a mix of various data stores, such as ColumnIO, Bigtable, GFS files, MySQL databases
- when compared with other similar solutions (Sawzall, Flume-Java, Pig, Hive" HadoopDB), Tenzing's advantage is low latency
- the paper acknowledges AsterData, GreenPlum, Paraccel, Vertica for using a MapReduce execution model in their engines
- to perform query optimizations, Tenzing is enhancing queries with information from a metadata server
- there is no information about what kind of metadata is needed in Tenzing. I assume it might refer to details about the data sources and data source metadata (indexes, access patterns, etc)
- to reduce query latency, processes are kept running
- Tenzing supports almost all SQL92 standard and some extensions from SQL99
- projection and filtering (for some of these and depending on the data source Tenzing can do some optimizations)
- set operations (implemented in the reduce phase)
- nested queries and subqueries
- aggregation and statistical functions
- analytic functions (syntax similar to PostgreSQL/Oracle)
- OLAP extensions
Tenzing supports efficient joins across data sources, such as ColumnIO to Bigtable; inner, left, right, cross, and full outer joins; and equi semi-equi, non-equi and function based joins. Cross joins are only supported for tables small enough to fit in memory, and right outer joins are supported only with sort/merge joins. Non-equi correlated subqueries are currently not supported. We include distributed implementations for nested loop, sort/merge and hash joins.

Google Launches Google Cloud SQL a Relational Database as a Service
Google has just announced a new (lab) product: Google Cloud SQL which is Google's Database-as-a-Service version of Amazon RDS—based on initial information, Google Cloud SQL could be characterized as a very basic/intro version of Amazon RDS.
Main features listed in the announcement:
- Managed environment
- High reliability and availability - your data is replicated synchronously to multiple data centers. Machine, rack and data center failures are handled automatically to minimize end-user impact. It also support asynchronous replication
- Familiar MySQL database environment with JDBC support (for Java-based App Engine applications) and DB-API support (for Python-based App Engine applications). It even support data import and export using
- Simple and powerful integration with Google App Engine.
- Command line tool
- SQL prompt in the Google APIs Console
The service is free for now and Google promises a 30 days notice without giving any hints on the pricing model though.

How Does Google MegaStore Compare Against HDFS/HBase?
Alex Feinberg answering the question in the title:
This is like saying "how does a General Motors bus compare against a Ford engine". MegaStore is built on of Google's BigTable/GFS. HBase/HDFS are BigTable/HDFS work-alikes.
BigTable and HBase give up availability (in the CAP Theorem sense) in favour of consistency: when a tablet master node (HRegionServer in HBase) goes down, the portion of the keyspace the failed node is responsible for becomes (briefly) unavailable until another node takes over the portion of the key space. This is efficient, as the data/write-ahead-log is stored GFS (or HDFS): in a way serializing writes to GFS/HDFS (a file system with relaxed consistency semantics) through a single node ensures serializable consistency.
Make sure you read it all.

Amazon Is More Interesting Than Google
Google has been doing these sort of blog posts for years. Some engineer wites up an entry about how they are doing research using terabytes or petabytes of data. And then they end by saying you should work at Google. So nowadays, I don't care about any of what Google does. […] MapReduce? Great, they've been sitting on this technology for a decade. Good for them. It doesn't matter to me.
But the world has changed, and Google can't seem to keep up. Amazon has become the polar opposite of Google, empowering every developer on the planet to make incredible technology. Want MapReduce? Amazon has you covered. Want to play with terabytes of data like it ain't no thing? Check. Want to launch thousands of servers to handle a tough computation? Check, check, and check. Want to launch thousands of human brains to solve otherwise unassailable problems? No problem. Heck, want to simply send email to your users? They have that too.
I read this just hours after expressing my concerns about the awesome future of Big Data and data anlytics. For now we're lucky there's still an Amazon out there.

LevelDB: Google's Fast Persistent Key-Value Store Library
Google open sourced a while ago LevelDB , a C++ library that provides an ordered mapping key-value storage. LevelDB performance convinced Basho guys to experiment with adding LevelDB as a storage engine for Riak. And there's also a benchmark comparing LevelDB with SQLite and Kyoto Cabinet.
The LevelDB project lists the following key features:
- Keys and values are arbitrary byte arrays.
- Data is stored sorted by key.
- Callers can provide a custom comparison function to override the sort order.
- The basic operations are
- Multiple changes can be made in one atomic batch.
- Users can create a transient snapshot to get a consistent view of data.
- Forward and backward iteration is supported over the data.
- Data is automatically compressed using the Snappy compression library.
- External activity (file system operations etc.) is relayed through a virtual interface so users can customize the operating system interactions.
- Detailed documentation about how to use the library is included with the source code.
You can check out also the old thread on Hacker News about LevelDB..

Paper: Google Fusion Tables: Data Management, Integration and Collaboration in the Cloud
This paper from Google talks extensively about the usage of BigTable and Megastore, the data model, query processing, and transaction handling in the implementation of Google Fusion Tables.
Google Fusion Tables is a cloud-based service for data management and integration. Fusion Tables enables users to upload tabular data files (spreadsheets, CSV, KML), currently of up to 100MB. The system provides several ways of visualizing the data (e.g., charts, maps, and timelines) and the ability to filter and aggregate the data. It supports the integration of data from multiple sources by performing joins across tables that may belong to different users. […] This paper describes the inner workings of Fusion Tables, including the storage of data in the system and the tight integration with the Google Maps infrastructure.

GoldenOrb: Ravel Google Pregel Implementation Released
Announced back in March, Ravel has finally released GoldenOrb an implementation of the Google Pregel paper—if you are not familiar with Google Pregel check the Pregel: Graph Processing at Large-Scale and Ricky Ho's comparison of Pregel and MapReduce.
Until Ravel's GoldenOrb the only experimental implementation of Pregel was the Erlang-based Phoebus. GoldenOrb was released under the Apache License v2.0 and is available on GitHub.
GoldenOrb is a cloud-based open source project for massive-scale graph analysis, built upon best-of-breed software from the Apache Hadoop project modeled after Google's Pregel architecture.

Google BigTable, MapReduce, MegaStore vs. Hadoop, MongoDB
Dhanji R. Prasanna leaving Google:
Here is something you've may have heard but never quite believed before: Google's vaunted scalable software infrastructure is obsolete. Don't get me wrong, their hardware and datacenters are the best in the world, and as far as I know, nobody is close to matching it. But the software stack on top of it is 10 years old, aging and designed for building search engines and crawlers. And it is well and truly obsolete.
Protocol Buffers, BigTable and MapReduce are ancient, creaking dinosaurs compared to MessagePack, JSON, and Hadoop. And new projects like GWT, Closure and MegaStore are sluggish, overengineered Leviathans compared to fast, elegant tools like jQuery and mongoDB. Designed by engineers in a vacuum, rather than by developers who have need of tools.
. Or maybe it is true. Or maybe it is just another magic triangle:
Edward Ribeiro mentioned a post from another ex-Googler which points out similar issues with Google's philosophy.

[[Lines on Ale]]
Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chamber of my brain —
Quaintest thoughts — queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today.
This poem was attributed to Poe by Thomas Ollive Mabbott in 1939, and again in 1969. The original manuscript supposedly hung on the wall of the Washington Tavern in Lowell, Massachusetts for many years. It was apparently last seen around 1892. It was recalled from memory by a former bartender there about 1939. Although of questionable origin, the attribution had some merit and for decades was not seriously opposed.
It was suggested that alternate versions of some lines of the poem might have read as follows:
Filled with mingled cream and amber,
I will fill that glass again
[. . . .]
Faintest thoughts — queerest fancies
[. . . .]
The poem may now be safely rejected, however, following discoveries made by Michael Patrick Hearn, and sent to the Poe Society of Baltimore on March 28, 2013 by Herb Moskovitz. The lines are identified as
". . . really no more than a poor recollection of the first verse of 'Drinking Wine' in George Arnold's Poems Grave and Gay (Boston: Ticknor & Fields, 1867, pp. 83-84):
Pour the mingled cream and amber!
Let me drain the bowl again!
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain.
Quaintest jests and queerest fancies
Spring to life and fade away:
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking wine to-day.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell responds by conspiring with the statists to give us the largest tax increase of the last 20 years, fund Obamacare, and raise the debt ceiling.
House Speaker John Boehner responds by negotiating with himself during the so-called government shutdown, which actually shut down only 17 percent of the government, and then mocking conservatives who don't want to support "scamnesty" as being crybabies. Ironic, coming from a man known to cry on a dime.
Advertisement-content continues below
Kansas' Pat Roberts responds by essentially becoming the state of Virginia's third senator.
Sen. Thad Cochran responds by pretending not to know what the tea party (his base) is.
And so on, and so on. I could write an entire column about these people's many betrayals of our trust and acts of obfuscation, and still only scratch the surface.
So while these Republicans ponder the lint in their navels and plan their corporatist junkets, the rest of us out here in flyover country are watching our very way of life slip away right before our very eyes. We're seeing our children's and grandchildren's futures slipping away as well, and American exceptionalism and liberty along with it.
Advertisement-content continues below
Here's what we don't see.
When Republicans have had power, we have never seen them ruthlessly pursue our agenda with the same reckless abandon or courage of conviction the Obama Regime and its allies daily display. The last time we saw the Republicans draw a line in the sand with Democrats was over invading Iraq, which turned out to be urban renewal in the name of Allah — an unpopular war that gave us Majority Leader Harry Reid in 2006 and gave birth to the Obama presidency in 2008.
Since then, it's been the "surrender caucus" on parade, the only debate being when/where/how to wave the white flag. We don't see these Republicans go on offense when they're in power, and we don't see them defending us while the Democrats have it. Frankly, many folks I talk to are running out of reasons to vote Republican, other than the satisfaction of voting against statist Democrats. Except when we see McConnell willing to go scorched earth on his primary opponent in a way he never has the Marxists in the White House, even that joy is taken from us.
We know we are not the most sophisticated people in the world. We know we're not as cool as you. We know we don't belong at your cocktail parties. But we are the people who do most of the living and dying around here. We pay the bills. We're the ones most victimized by this president's attempt to win Karl Marx's argument with history.
We buy your books. We watch your TV shows. We vote for you. In short, you wouldn't be in the ruling class if it weren't for us. Yet you consistently side against us, and then offer us nothing in return. You don't even patronize us anymore, like when Mitt Romney wouldn't even share a Chick-fil-A sandwich with us.

Dear LoK fandom,
This is my contribution to the fandom. You are welcome.

Kano was designed by Groecs and is supposed to be Bolin's grandson. c:
I see what you did there.
I just got an overwhelming amount of feels.
He wanted Korra to be safe.
That's why he gave her his scarf.
I don't think she took it from him, because she's brash, but she's not rude about it when she knows better. And I think she knew better.
And so he gave it to her.
So.. much… emotion!

"But Korra is a cartoon, it doesn't matter how people interpret her!"
This is my answer to that argument.
This is the official model chosen by BRYKE for the San Diego Comic Con panel in 2011. As you can see, the (lovely) model is not white. She is not tan. She is clearly brown.
Suck on it, racists and racism apologists.
That's Korra all right.

Why is she so gorgeous!? Did they put secret juices in her milk as a baby?

Sixty years after their incarnation, the beats continue to exercise a formidable grip on cultural life on both sides of the Atlantic. With recent films based on Jack Kerouac's On the Road and Big Sur; with a cinematic reconstruction of the writing of Allen Ginsberg's Howl and the subsequent trial against its publisher, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, for allegedly distributing pornography; with Daniel Radcliffe leaving Harry Potter behind to play a young Allen Ginsberg at Columbia University (in the film Kill Your Darlings, which charts the birth of the beats); and with a very major, very ace new biography of William S Burroughs by Barry Miles just published, it can easily be argued that we are in the middle of a significant beat revival.

The actress caused a stir in January 2012 when she started stepping out with an emerald-and-gold ring on that finger. Though a jeweler claimed the bauble was in fact an engagement ring, it was not confirmed until that March, when now-husband Olivier Martinez told The Miami Herald, "Yes, of course it's true," and clarified that the ring was actually designed by his Paris neighbor, Robert Mazlo.

Melo lights up the Garden, but night ends early after hard fall
12/14/12 in NBA | Matthew_Shovlin | 735 respect
There was, however, one way to stop Carmelo from embarrassing the Lake Show in the world's most famous arena...
In the third quarter, Melo once again blew by his defender and was en route to the rim, but Dwight Howard decided to intervene. Dwight went up and gave a hard foul to Melo's upper body, putting him parallel to the ground with a long way to fall. His knees were bent, so much of his body weight fell on his left leg, twisting his ankle and knee. The hearts of Knicks fans sank as they watched their MVP writhing on the floor in pain. He was able to get up and take his free throws, but left the game and headed to the locker room at the next dead ball.
He finished the game with 30 points in only 23 minutes.
Anthony's diagnosis is just about a best case scenario, as he has a sprained ankle and is generally believed to be doubtful for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers. The fact that he has yet to be ruled out is encouraging, as it suggests that the injury is not serious at all.
If Carmelo is sidelined, the Knicks have proven that they won't be debilitated by the absence of their best player. The Knicks already beat the Heat - the reigning NBA champions - while Carmelo was out with a laceration on his finger, so they know they can compete with anyone even without their best player. Carmelo's absence would mean more minutes for JR Smith and Steve Novak, who have both been playing great over the past few games.
Carmelo shouldn't be out long, but as a Knicks fan, I'd really love to have him back on Monday night, when the Knicks will attempt to avenge their blowout loss to the Rockets and prove to Jeremy Lin that leaving New York was a big mistake.

Ethel "Terry" Teal Crutchfield
Ethel "Terry" Teal Crutchfield, 87, of Longboat Key, died Sunday, June 14.
Born Aug. 8, 1921, in Baltimore, she grew up in Richmond, Va. She graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in the class of 1938 and the College of William and Mary, where she was a thespian and captain of the women's fencing team, in 1942.
During World War II, Mrs. Crutchfield served as one of Virginia's first woman radio announcers and also earned her pilot's license so that she could fly support planes for the military. After the war, she earned a master's certificate in occupational therapy from Columbia University, in New York City, and subsequently worked with World War II veterans in Richmond.
In 1949, she married Jack Crutchfield, a chemical engineer who later became marketing director for Esso, which later became Exxon, Middle Eastern, African and European divisions.
During the 1950s and 1960s, the Crutchfields lived in Brazil, Egypt, Libya and Switzerland. In 1970, they became residents of Longboat Key. They divided their time between Longboat Key and Richmond and continued to travel the world.
Mrs. Crutchfield was preceded in death by her husband, Jack. She is survived by her daughters, Mary, Margo and Jean; son, John; and four grandchildren.
The burial will take place at 11 a.m. Monday, June 22, at Forest Lawn Cemetery, in Richmond. A noon memorial service at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 815 E. Grace Street, Richmond, will follow. A reception will take place after the service. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the American Cancer Society, www.cancer.org.

Toma Sota Balcu
Posted by The Curator on Mon Jan 10, 2005
The latest craze sweeping through LiveJournal, Xanga, and other blogging communities involves people posting this message on their blogs: A girl died in 1933 by a homicidal murderer. He buried her in the ground when she was still alive. The murdered chanted, "Toma sota balcu" as he buried her. Now that you have read the chant, you will meet this little girl. In the middle of the night she will be on your ceiling. She will suffocate you like she was suffocated. If you post this, she will not bother you. Your kindness will be rewarded. It obviously seems to be inspired by the movie The Ring. Other than that…

A Christmas Ghost
Posted by The Curator on Fri Dec 31, 2004
Here's a new ghost photo that's begun to do the email rounds. To me it looks like a simple double exposure... but maybe it really is the ghost of Mary's Grandfather. In which case, sell him on eBay!! Here's the text that accompanies the photo. Click photo to enlarge (thanks to Jennifer for sending this to me): This picture is soo freaky..... My co-worker Mary that lives in stockton bought her sister a digital camera for X-mas. Her sister took a picture of their niece and if you look behind the chair the niece is sitting on you will see Mary's Grandfather who past away…

Imagine John Lennon Singing Pro-War Songs in Heaven
Posted by The Curator on Tue Dec 28, 2004
Ever wondered how John Lennon is getting along in Heaven? According to 'internationally known' psychic Linda Polley he's doing very well. She's been channeling his spirit and reporting on what's going on with him. You can read all the latest news on the John Lennon and George Harrison's Official Website from the Afterlife. The biggest surprise is that John has "officially divorced his former partner Yoko Ono Lennon for her support of homosexuality" and decided to marry a dancer named Mary Marie Francesca. Oh, and John has also penned many news songs, which he shares with the people back on earth via Linda Polley. Most of the songs…

Prebirth Experiences
Posted by The Curator on Wed Dec 22, 2004
At RoyalChild.com Sarah and Brent Hinze investigate Prebirth Experiences. They define these as when "a parent, sibling, aunt, uncle, or grandparent, etc., receives communication from a child before she is born, or in many cases, before he was even conceived." I hadn't heard of this particular variety of psychic (or spiritual) phenomenon before. It seems like a strange offshoot of past-life communication... except that instead of talking with people who once existed, you're communicating with people who are waiting to exist in the future. My question is: what if a 'parent' communicates with their child-to-be, but then they end up never having a child. Who, then, were they chatting with? Would the Hintzes define this as an imposter…

Grandfather's Ghost on eBay
Posted by The Curator on Sun Dec 05, 2004
Yet another ghost is up for sale on eBay. This one has received huge amounts of media attention (stories about it on CNN, MSNBC, etc.) thanks to a sob story that goes along with it. Last year this woman's father died. Now her eight-year-old son Collin thinks that the ghost of his grandfather is still living in the house. So the highest bidder will get the ghost of the grandfather (plus the grandfather's walking stick). The one condition is that the winning bidder has to write a letter to Collin assuring him that the ghost has relocated. I have just a few things to say about this. First of all, the really scary thing about this…

The Boston Superboy
Posted by The Curator on Mon Nov 22, 2004
The Leicester Mercury has a short article on the strange case of seven-year-old Stephen O'Hara, the 'Boston Superboy' who was able to bend forged steel and break wood with his mind. His case attracted a lot of attention back in 1920, and was widely suspected to be a hoax, though he was examined by a professor from New York University who seemed convinced of the reality of Stephen's powers, stating that "the boy is surrounded by an extraordinarily strong magnetic field" (kind of like a real-life version of Magneto). Unfortunately Stephen lost his powers when he turned twelve. He died while serving in World War II, at the age of 30.

Santa Rosa Institute
Posted by The Curator on Mon Nov 15, 2004
I came across the LiveJournal page of Chris (corourke), on which he ponders the reality of the Santa Rosa Institute of Advanced Genetics. Upon checking it out, the site had me confused for a while also. At first glance it appears to be a legitimate biotech company with two products in development: Genuflex (an anti-aging drug), and Envigor (a drug that decreases the need for sleep). So far, so good. I know there really are companies developing products like this. But then if you do a google search for the 'Santa Rosa Institute' links to the Federal Vampire and Zombie Agency start coming up. The FVZA rails against the Santa Rosa Institute, denouncing it…

Porcelain Doll Possessed by the Dead

Someday I'm going to get tired of checking out the haunted things for sale on eBay, but not yet (I'm easily amused). So here's the latest haunted offering. It's a Porcelain Doll Possessed By the Dead. I've got to hand it to the seller. That's a spooky looking doll. And the story that accompanies it is pretty good as well.

The Venus Flytrap Dionaea House
Posted by The Curator on Sun Oct 31, 2004
Here's a good link for Halloween. It's the final email correspondence of Mark Condry, as posted by his friend Eric. It takes about 15 or 20 minutes to read through in its entirety, but it's a good story if you've got the time. And no, it isn't real, though it tries its best to seem real (but if you believe in the supernatural, maybe it could be real). It was written (or posted to the web, if you believe the site) by Eric Heisserer, a Hollywood screenwriter. I won't ruin the story by giving it all away. I'll just say that it describes a house that lures people to their doom by leaving them strange clues…

Vanishing Hitchhiker on Mount St. Helens
Posted by The Curator on Fri Oct 29, 2004
The Tacoma Washington News Tribune reports on a Vanishing Hitchhiker legend local to Mount St. Helens. (in case you're not familiar with it, the Vanishing Hitchhiker urban legend goes like this: a guy picks up a hitchhiker who then mysteriously vanishes from inside the moving car. He realizes that the hitchhiker was a ghost.) Following the eruption of Mount St. Helens on May 18, 1980, many drivers in the area swore they saw a woman dressed in white thumbing a ride by the side of the road. She would get in the car and eventually say "The volcano is going to erupt again between Oct. 12 and 14." Then she would disappear. Sure enough, lava did…

Haunted House on eBay
Posted by The Curator on Fri Oct 29, 2004
I've seen many haunted things offered up for sale on eBay: haunted glass jars, haunted Coke cans, haunted toasters, haunted rubber duckys, even a haunted Gmail account (which, I'll now admit, I offered $10 for, but got outbid). So it seems inevitable that someone would finally try to auction an entire haunted house on the site. But based on what we're told in the article, the woman's evidence for supernatural possession seems a little sketchy. A few flying objects and weird noises. That's it. She's going to have to do better than that if she wants the serious haunted curiosity collectors, like Michael Jackson, to step…

Halloween Banned As Offensive to Witches
Posted by The Curator on Mon Oct 25, 2004
ABC News reports on a Washington State school district that has banned Halloween celebrations this year, in part because "Halloween celebrations and children dressed in Halloween costumes might be offensive to real witches." Now it's great that the school district wants to teach the kids to be respectful of different beliefs, etc... but in this case their decision seems a bit confused because witches are not, in fact, real. A real witch, historically speaking, would be someone who possesses supernatural powers. The Wiccans call themselves witches, but I'll go out on a limb and wager that they don't possess any supernatural powers. Therefore, they aren't real witches, in the historical sense of the word. So there really should…

Irish Ghost in a Bottle
Posted by The Curator on Sun Oct 10, 2004
If you hurry, you still have time to bid on the latest eBay sensation: a genuine Irish Ghost in a bottle (as opposed to a fake Irish ghost in a bottle). When I saw this, it immediately conjured up fond memories for me of the original Ghost in a Jar, but this new item seems to have a far longer pedigree than the Ghost in a Jar did. It is said to contain the ghost of a rogue 19th century landlord who took his own life after getting a young girl pregnant. And this is the best part of all: it's caught the attention of Michael…

Eerie Ghost Video
Posted by The Curator on Sat Oct 09, 2004
Here's what the setup to this little piece of video says: Supposedly this is a car commercial that never aired. I'm thinking that it is more probably a very good student project using Computer Graphics. About 2 seconds into the "commercial" notice something moving along the side of the car, like a ghostly white mist that looks humanish. All I'm going to add is that this really, really got me. Update: Here's another link to the movie, in case the one above is down. Update: Comments have been closed on this topic.

Are You Superstitious?
Posted by The Curator on Sat Sep 04, 2004
Do you think you're not superstitious? Then test it using this simple little experiment devised by John Stilgoe: Stilgoe's Law: to test if you are really NOT superstitious. Bring a photograph of your romantic partner, or of a son or daughter to a meeting. Here is an ice pick. Will you poke out the eyes in the picture? Will you poke out the eyes for ten dollars? Most students will not do this, the image has the power of a voodoo doll. -- suggested by Professor John Stilgoe, Harvard Magazine, (Jan.-Feb. 1996) pp. 36-42. Personally, I would fail. (via

Our Favorite Photos of 2011: Kevin Large and Kaylee Cole
Kevin Large and Kaylee Cole ::: photo by Abbey Simmons
We love it when two of our favorite voices decide to join forces and make something beautiful and 2011 has been a pretty wonderful year for that. Robin Pecknold and Ed Droste. Damien Jurado singing with Pickwick. And most definitely, Kaylee Cole joining Kevin Large to sing his sad songs during Widower shows all year long. The two married their mournful tones again for a sweet, silly kitchen table Christmas Cover of Wham!'s "Last Christmas."
We hope you and yours have the happiest of Holidays.

'So many gods, so many creeds,
This book began after a terrorist attack in South Africa. Describing what happened was to be a catharsis—a way of dealing with a post traumatic stress syndrome. Writing about the event successfully assuaged its dramatic impact, and then, with the encouragement of my family and friends, the initial writing grew into something that hopefully will make a greater contribution beyond my recovery.
Discrimination based on colour or race still exists in our world. There has been enormous progress over the last fifty years to rid ourselves of the abhorrence that in its active form is segregation. Looking back at the past, albeit in the somewhat fictionalised form utilised in this novel, will hopefully allow the grotesque image of man's inhumanity to man and woman, that was and is racial segregation, to remain committed to history.
Although this book is fictional, it draws on some real political and historical events from the author's own experience while doing a PhD centred on politics and race in South Africa. If it allows the reader therefore to experience the mephitic feeling of segregation, and as a result produces such a noisome aftertaste, sufficient to cause one person to resile from discrimination anywhere, there will be no greater success.

As the population continues to grow, and more and more people become interested in wine, it is becoming more difficult to buy the wine you want. One of the best ways to be assured you'll receive wine from your favorite producers is to sign up and wait on their mailing list. If you sign up to late, however, it can be a long time before you ever see a bottle. (I've been told the waiting list for Colgin is about 8 year's out now.) Thanks to new premium vineyards coming online, and a great growing season shaping up for 2005, you may be bumped up on some lists in a few years when this vintage is ready to be sold. In 2000 Growers saw the highest yield ever at 3.32 Million tons. This year is shaping up to be about 3.15 million tons, that would be the second biggest yield in California's history! However, the difference between the two is quality. Since 1998 over 100,000 acres of grapes have been ripped out in the San Joaquin Valley alone, an area that's known for it's sub par fruit. That means this years harvest consists of more grapes coming from quality vines in quality regions, the perfect recipe to move up on a waiting list.
Mailing lists I recommend you sign up on?
Herb Lamb Vineyards: Jennifer and Herb probably don't need anymore people on their list, but until they close it, get on there!
Hourglass Vineyard: A new winery that has received marks already in their first vintage.
Blankiet Estate: Doing things the French way, this Turley / Wetlaufer / Abreu project is sure to be great every year.
Harlan Estate: Edit: Pass on this one…
Sloan: Good luck with this one, it's worth a shot. Made by Bob Levy's wife, Martha McClellan.
Note: Bob and Martha are planning their own project to debut early 2007 with less than 200 case production, sign up on their website – www.levymcclellan.com. – Edit: Just released pricing, a little crazy in my book, might be a passer.
Linne Calodo: Probably the best wine from Paso Robles.
Don't say I never gave you anything.

In 1985, I was sent to a limestone cave in luxurious Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, where I was made up for hours until I ended up covered with even more pustules and oozy shit than when I arrived. I played a zombie in George Romero's eagerly awaited tri-quel Day of the Dead.

They're either married or gay. And if they're not gay, they've just broken up with the most wonderful woman in the world, or they've just broken up with a bitch who looks exactly like me. They're in transition from a monogamous relationship and they need more space. Or they're tired of space, but they just can't commit. Or they want to commit, but they're afraid to get close. They want to get close, you don't want to get near them.
Did I miss Karen and Richard?
Just Richard, Karen's staying for the weekend and he went back to be with the kids.
Ohhhhh, interesting. What did Richard have to say about this?
Michael, if you're going to sleep this late, you're going to miss a few minidramas.
I just hope you'll wake me for anything really nasty.

Hey, Nick? You know, we go back a long way, and I'm not gonna piss that away 'cause you're higher than a kite.
Wrong, a long time ago we knew each other for a short period of time; you don't know anything about me. It was easy back then. No one had a cushier berth than we did. It's not surprising our friendship could survive that. It's only out there in the real world that it gets tough.
Since when did you get so friendly with <i>cops</i>? Harold?
You know you're fuckin' stupid? Stupid, yeah. First off, that cop has twice kept this house from being ripped off. Happens to be a hell of a guy. And you...
Come on, Harold. What is it?
What is it with you? Is jail another "experience" you want to "try?" See what that's "like?" You know, I live here. This place means something to me. I'm dug in. I don't need this shit.

64-bit Windows 8.1 Enterprise
SLI vs CrossFire: Which Dual-Card Setup is Best?
SLI vs CrossFire: Which Dual-Card Setup is Best?
We look at dual card graphics and PC gaming. When you add a second card, which cards are faster? Which scale better? And which can you actually stand to have in your system?
Graphics cards have gotten faster and added more features. So we have to ask the question: is it really worth adding a second GPU to your system? Will you get enough of a performance boost to justify the extra power draw and added cost? The answer is more complex than a simple yes or no. It all depends on what games you're running, how much you dial up features like anti-aliasing, whether you've dived into the world of stereoscopic 3D and what monitor you're running.
Perhaps the most important factor in the decision is display resolution. If you're running a 1680x1050, 22-inch display, a single midrange or high end card will get the job done. Adding a second GPU is overkill. If you've got a 30-inch, 2560x1600 display and want to crank up the AA and postprocessing features, then that second GPU can be a big help.
Stereoscopic 3D, like Nvidia's 3D Vision, demands more performance as well, since you're effectively doubling the frame rate requirements of a game. Most 3D displays currently available max out at 1920x1080, however, so the performance demands aren't overly onerous.
Games themselves are evolving and adding more features. You can see that in a title like Just Cause 2. Still a DirectX 10 title (and it requires DX10 or higher), Just Cause 2 adds a host of postprocessing effects that can demand much from your graphics card. Toss in DX11 titles, like Aliens versus Predator or STALKER: Call of Pripyat, and frame rates can plummet as you add features. So that second GPU can indeed contribute to the overall experience.
With these thoughts in mind, let's take a look at our SLI and CrossFire X candidates.

Now that the 2014 NFL Scouting Combine is officially over, teams like the Dallas Cowboys are mulling over piles and piles of data gathered on the 330 prospects in preparation for the upcoming draft in May. This is the time they'll be compiling their big boards and planning visits to individual pro days. So how do we, as fans, get an insight on how these prospective players may fair with our favorite teams? One former scout may have the answer.
Pat Kirwan is currently an NFL Insider for CBS Sports and co-host of co-hosts Movin' the Chains on Sirius NFL Radio. He is a former NFL Scout for the Tamba Bay Buccaneers and the Pheonix Cardinals. And he's also been the director of player administration and defensive assistant coach with the New York Jets. In in latest article for CBSSports.com, Kirwan gives fans a great formula to help determine which of these scouted players may "boom" in the NFL…or become the next bust:
"If you were wondering what to make of the measurable statistics attached to combine players, you are not alone. One simple thing, which I've done for 25 years, is search look for explosiveness. When the ball is snapped in the NFL, at least half the players on the field collide and the more explosive player wins the battle.Take the vertical leap, the standing broad jump and the bench press numbers and add them up. The key is to find players that can reach or surpass the 70 for a combined total…Those numbers don't always add up to a great football player, but it is a start."
Therefore, using Kirwan's explosion formula of Bench+Vertical+Broad Jump = 70+, I came up with the following list of twelve players who could possibly be the hidden gems of this year's draft. If you are Jerry Jones…please pay close attention.

We like to think that at least some supercar owners drive their exotic machinery the way they're meant to be driven. The reality is more likely that most pamper them in climate-controlled environments and rarely actually drive them. But Tax The Rich seems dedicated to balancing them all out by hooning the heck out of some of the most expensive and desirable supercars the world has ever seen – whether it's a Ferrari Enzo rallying along dirt roads or a pair of F50s playing tug of war.
The YouTube channel has even played around with a Jaguar XJ220 before, but not quite like this. In its latest clip, Tax The Rich goes a step or two beyond the usual smokey burnout, lighting up the rear wheels of a super-rare Jag, all for our viewing pleasure. And take pleasure we do in the video below, even as part of us cringes at the thought of potentially reducing one of the fastest Jaguars in history to a smoldering hulk.
